Curtain rising for summer theater
"Three Tall Women" starts season on Friday
Bv Katie Burford
Kansan campus editor
The Kansas Summer Theatre will kick off its season Friday at 8 p.m. with the Pulitzer Prize-winning play "Three Tall Women" by Edward Albee. The play will run July 9 to 11 and July 14 to 17 in the Inge Theatre in Murphy Hall.
"Three Tall Women," first produced in 1991, addresses the issues of family relationships and aging from a contemporary perspective, said director Jack Wright, professor of theater and film.
"It's a play about change, about how things don't always turn out the way you expect them to," he said.
The play is billed as a dark comedy, but Lawrence resident Roberta Le Gingerich, who plays the lead role, said that the description was a misnomer.
"It is dark, and there are funny parts, but it is not a heehaw," she said. "It's a thoughtful examination of aging."
Gingerich, 75, said that the challenge of playing the main character, a 92-year-old widow, was memorizing her sizable part.
"The line load is extremely high," she said.
"The line load is extremely high," she said.
Through most of the first act, her character — whom Gingerich described as lonely, fearful and cranky — is recounting her life.
Gingerich said that she had to prepare emotionally for the part.
"I had to find the parts of myself that are in the character." she said.
Because the character has traits that aren't exactly endearing, Gingerich said this wasn't easy.
Christian Day, Lawrence graduate student, plays her estranged son. His role is challenging, but for a contrasting reason — he has no speaking parts.
"It's a minor role, but I'm on stage for a long time," he said. "I have to convey that part of the story without speaking any lines."
He plays the woman's son who comes back after an absence of 30 years to sit at his mother's bedside while she is dying. The cause of the 30-year rift was that the mother could not accept her son's homosexuality.
None of the characters are referred to by name in the play, a device that Day called expressionist. He said that he would classify the play as more dark than comic.
Wright said that the subject matter sounded negative but that the outcome was positive.
"It's a serious play dealing with issues of aging and family relations. It's a very timely tonic," he said.
"It's a play about change, about how things don't always turn out the way you expect them to."

director
After setting the scene in the first act, the play takes an unexpected turn in the second. The change is subtle, but fundamental to the plot. Even some critics have missed it. Gingerich said.
"It is a play that calls for attention on the part of the audience — intellectual and emotional attention," she said.
This play is somewhat autobiographical for Albeo, who was in a similar situation with his adoptive mother, Day said. The 1994 Pulitzer Prize he received for the work was the third of his career. Previous awards were for "Seascape" in 1967 and "A Delicate Balance" in 1975. He also wrote "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?"
"Three Tall Women" is the first of two plays being produced by the Kansas Summer Theatre. "Godspell," directed by John Stanianus, assistant professor of theater and film, will run July 23 to 25 and July 29 to 31 at 8 p.m.

Alcohol task force continues campaign
"We can't monitor them; we can't follow them around," she said. "If you really want your children to be safe, then these are things we really need to work together on."
Strategy includes media messages, family sessions
Ballard said that the goal of the task force would be to involve other campus organizations and student groups in promoting alcohol-free weekend activities.
Kansan staff writer
Among the tactics are alcohol awareness sessions for students and parents during new student orientation and a media campaign aimed at reducing binge drinking.
The University of Kansas alcohol task force is continuing the campaign against both underage and binge drinking.
By Clint Hooker
Barbara Ballard, assistant vice chancellor, said that presentations were given during orientation that encouraged parents' participation in educating their children about alcohol use as well as promoting or discouraging certain behavior.
Part of the University's effort to reduce binge drinking will be the Social Norms Media Campaign, funded by a $450,000 grant from the Kansas Health Foundation and headed by Jannette Berkley-Patton.
"It's based on the understanding that, for the large part, most students have a misperception of how much other students drink," she said. "Because they have this misperception, what they need to do is drink up to levels that aren't reality, drinking up to the levels of their misperceived reality."
"We know, from surveys that we've done, that a lot of students said they don't want to drink, but there is nothing else for them to do," she said.
Berkley-Patton said that the program was modeled after a campaign at Northern Illinois University that targeted misconceptions about student drinking.
The task force is working to come up with ideas for other activities.
Berkley-Patton said the campaign would place weekly ads in The University Daily Kansan that displayed positive messages about responsible, moderate and abstinent drinking behaviors.
Kerry Durig, Overland Park senior, said
"Underage drinking is a problem at any university, but there's a problem when freshmen enter thinking they're adults, and they're really not yet," she said. "And on any given night, there are tons of students out just getting plowed. That's a little scary."
she recognized the problems of underage and binge drinking at KU, especially now that she's of legal drinking age.
Charles Erickson, a 20-year-old Chicago junior, said that efforts to influence underage drinking were mainly limited to campus, and law enforcement participation came only at certain times.
"The only time I see them trying to cut down is at the beginning of the semester," he said. "I haven't seen anything or anyone this summer in the bars or liquor stores."
James Kitchen, associate vice chancellor and dean of students, said that it was critical for University and community officials to cooperate.
"You can't buy liquor on campus," he said. "They have to buy it off-campus and that's within the Lawrence community. So we all have to play a role in this and hopefully we can do that."
StudEx removes vacant grad seats
Positions considered irrelevant by Senate
By Matthew Friedrichs Kansan editor
Graduate students lost potential clout on the Student Senate committee that determines senate agendas and has broad legislative powers.
The Student Senate Executive Committee voted 5-4 on June 30 to remove the executive director of the Graduate and Professional Association — a nonvoting, ex-officio member — and the chairman of the Graduate Executive Committee — a voting, ex-officio member.
None of the current committee members were aware that the positions existed on StudEx until Marlon Marshall, StudEx chairman, introduced legislation to eliminate the positions because they are not listed as members of the committee in the University Senate Code.
In fact, no one on StudEx could remember anyone attending a meeting to represent the two positions.
"Why don't they know about it?" Walker said. "Why doesn't Pat (Partha Mazumdar) know about it? Why aren't they here?"
Ben Walker, Student Senate legislative director and University Senate Executive committee member, said the positions were irrelevant because graduate students had not been taking advantage of them.
Mazumdar, chairman of the graduate affairs committee and Graduate and Professional Association director, defended the positions. He said the GradEx chairwoman had not attended because she was unaware of the opportunity.
Mazumdar and Amy Cummins, one of three student members of SenEx, are the graduate students on StudEx. About 24 percent of students enrolled on the Lawrence campus last fall were graduate students.
Aravind Muthukrishnan, Student Senate finance committee chairman, said the positions were unnecessary because graduate students have double representation — they're involved in regular committees and events, and they're involved in graduate committees and events.
"I don't think those seats ought to be on StudEx," he said.
Student Senate — composed of elected and appointed students. Allocates student fees, represents students in University governance and represents students to the administration.
University Senate — composed of all faculty, student senators and some classified and unclassified staff members.
Rules and Regulations — Student Senate's enumerated procedures and policies. Subservient to University Senate Code.
versity Senate may change any of the code.
The executive committee of the University
Senate
University Senate Code — rules that determine how the University governs itself. Student Senate may change some portions, and the Uni-
GradEx— executive committee of the Student Senate graduate affairs committee.
StudEx — composed of the chairpersons of five standing Student Senate committees, three student SenEx members, the student body president, the student body vice president, and StudEx chairman. Has broad powers to write and approve legislation. Also approves agendas for Student Senate meetings.
Graduate Professional Association — represents graduate students and allocates student fees designated for graduate students by Student Senate.
Luke Pfannenstiel, Student Senate university affairs committee chairman for the summer, spoke in favor of keeping the seats, even though that would put senate rules and regulations in conflict with the University Code.
"Cutting these seats will cut them for good." Pfannenstiel said.
Instead, he proposed asking the University Senate to modify the code this fall, and keep the graduate students seats in StudEx.
Marshall said his main concern was getting the rules and regulations to conform with the code so that Student Senate started the fall in agreement with the University Senate and the University Code.
By eliminating the positions, StudEx clarified a discrepancy between its rules and regulations and the University Code, but the change might not last.
Mazudmari has written a bill to change the University Code which would reinstate the graduate seats in StudEx. The bill will be debated at today's meeting.

BB gun accident claims 12-year-old boy's life
STATE
NORTON — A boy was killed in a BB gun accident during the Fourth of July weekend, Norton police said.
Police said Matthew was in the backyard at a friend's home where somebody had a BB gun. Matthew was hit in the head, possibly by a ricocheting pellet from the gun, but police would not say how the gun discharged.
Matthew T. Ward, 12, of Norton, was pronounced dead Sunday evening after being flown to Good Samaritan Hospital in Kearney, Neb.
Entertainment writer, K.C. resident dead at 88
LENEXA — John Quinn, who covered entertainment in the Kansas City area for Variety for more than 60 years, has died. He was 88.
Quinn died Saturday at St. Luke's Hospital in Kansas City, Mo.
As a writer for the international show-business periodical since 1938, Quinn frequently attended movie screenings and opening nights at local theaters. He continued to file occasional theater reviews despite Variety's reduced coverage of local and regional news.
Through the decades Quinn covered nightclubs, the movie exhibition business, the regional music scene and local television and radio.
He was born in Omaha, Neb., and majored in journalism at the University of Nebraska, where he began writing for Variety.
Quinn, who lived in Lenexa, is survived by his wife of 55 years, Betty Quinn.

Hot dog-eating contest tastes foul to runner-up
NEW YORK — Is he the weiner, or nothing but a hound dog?
The second-place finisher in Coney Island's annual hot dog-eating contest said he was robbed of the coveted Mustard Yellow International Belt.
Videotape showed Steve Keiner cramming a frankturer into his
mouth just before the gun went off to start Sunday's 1.2-minute food-fest.
Keiner, a 317-pound electrical inspector from Egg Harbor Township, N.J., won by swallowing 20 and one-quarter Nathan's Famous hot dogs and buns in the allotted time.
Charles Hardy finished a bite or two behind, at 20 franks. He demanded a Labor Day rematch after seeing a videotape by cable news station New York 1. The tape shows Keiner with his lips wrapped around a dog toward the end of the countdown that preceded the word "Go!
Contest organizers say videotape reviews are barred by International Federation of Hot Dog Eating rules.
Keiner denied making a false start.
"Although it appears that Keiner jumped the gun, the decision of the judges is final," Nathan's spokesman George Shea said.
NEW YORK — Inspiration for stylish design often comes from seeing objects in a museum.
African-American crafts highlight museum shows
Two exhibitions at the American Craft Museum in New York highlight African-American contributions to contemporary craft.
On view through Oct. 10 are "Stop Asking/We Exist: 25 African-American Artists" and "Spirits of the Cloth: Contemporary Quilts by African-American Artists."
"It has taken a long time to be reminded to look in other places and to be a bit broader in the vision of what is happening," said David McFadden, co-curator of both shows and chief curator of the American Craft Museum.
It's a first showing for many of the artists.
"it's a good first step. Now that it has happened — in the best of all
possible worlds — we won't have to do shows that are ethnically distinctive but will be able just to show the work of those who make quilts and furniture and so on," McFadden said.
Teamsters go on strike protest unfair practices
WASHINGTON — Dock workers and truck drivers at the Overnite Transportation Co. are on strike at six terminals to protest unfair labor practices, a teamsters union representative said.
Approximately 1,400 union workers went on strike in Atlanta, North Atlanta and Marietta, Ga.; Memphis, Tenn.; Kansas City, Mo., and Indianapolis at midnight Monday, representative David Cameron said.
Ira Rosenfeld, an Overmite representative, said all the service centers in question are open and that Overmite did not expect to miss any deliveries or pickups.
The Teamsters claimed to represent workers at 38 of Overnite's 166 service centers, while Rosenfeld said the union only represented the workers at 21 centers.
Cameron accused the company of intimidating and even firing some union organizers working at Overnite, an assertion Rosenfeld categorically denied.
"We've been bargaining with the Teamsters ... and we will continue to bargain." Rosenfeld said.
Cameron said the strike would end when the workers felt their grievances about unfair labor practices were resolved.
The 300-strong mob blocked a road, chanted abusive slogans and threw stones and firecrackers at the police and troops, some of whom were deployed by helicopter to block the group from reaching the Catholic church along Portadown's nearby Gavayhigh Road.
in Portadown's main Catholic district early yesterday.
Six police officers were injured, suffering breathing difficulties after smoke bombs were thrown near them, a police representative said. Two people were arrested, police said.
The trouble was the most serious in Portadown since Sunday's surprise decision by the Orange Order, Northern Ireland's major Protestant fraternal group, not to challenge security forces who blocked their annual parade from entering the hostile Catholic district.
But it was negligible compared with last year, when thousands of Orange supporters menaced security forces in hopes of forcing the march down the disputed road.
The latest trouble began Monday night, hours after the Northern Ireland Parades Commission banned Orangemen from passing Catholic homes.

Land grants plant seeds, help lives blossom at KU
Land donations
The map shows the counties where the University of Kansas owns donated land. The University also owns a couple of sections of land in Oklahoma. Currently, the University owns 43,498 acres of farmland. In July 1998, land holdings brought the University an income of $1.6 million from agriculture and mining.

While planning the future of their estate, William and Phyllis Benefiel decided to will 200 acres in Barber County to the University of Kansas. The land had been the family homestead and, more recently, the couple both KU graduates living in California — rented the pasture and crop land to tenants.
Now the land — appraised at $57,000 — will support the KU School of Medicine. After William's death last month, the Benefiel property was transferred to the KU Endowment Association, a non-profit organization that manages such gifts for the University.
"When you live out of state, it's hard to own land because of inheritance problems," Phyllis said. "Giving the land to KU just seemed like the right thing to do. Once you've been to school there, of course, that's where your loyalty lies."
The Benefiel's gift brings the Endowment Association's total Kansas landholdings to 43,498 acres. The Endowment Association earned $1.6 million in fiscal year 1998 from agricultural and mining on lands it owns.
John Scarffe, Endowment Association director of communications, said the association hired property managers to produce wheat, corn, minerals or whatever the land was best suited for. The income from the land supports University departments and activities as specified by the donors.
Sometimes land gifts are sold, and the funds are used to create a fellowship for scholarships or
research. One such fellowship, created from 510 acres in Rice and McPherson counties, financed $1,000 Effie J. Jones scholarships for 14 students last year.
Dwayne Sackman, senior associate dean of the School of Medicine, said KU's programs needed such gifts to remain competitive with other universities.
"We are truly grateful for the generosity of the Benefiels," Sackman said. "The school looks forward to making the best possible use of their gift."
If land given to the University is in the Lawrence area, it may be used for educational purposes, like the Nelson environment holdings, near Baldwin. Scarfe said that, while such land does not yield income for the University, it might serve a donor's goal of preventing the land from being sold or developed.
Financial concerns may also motivate potential donors to give land to the University. Land that has appreciated in
value is subject to a capital gains tax when it is sold. However, if it is given to the University, the land's fair market value can be deducted from the donor's taxes.
Donating land also reduces burdens of estate taxes for the deceased's family, particularly when the land is not producing income.
Land donations date back to 1891 when Charles Robinson, first governor of Kansas, donated part of the land on which Memorial Stadium now stands. That same year the Endowment Association was formed to facilitate further gifts. Donated land constitutes 86 percent of KU campuses in Lawrence, Wichita and Kansas City.
Scarfe said that a listing of each specific property, its donor and what the income from the land is used for would be difficult to compile because donations have been accumulating for more than a century.

player to be chosen in this year's draft. Kansas coach Roy Williams praised Robertson after the draft.
"He had a great, great college career," Williams said. "If the NBA had more Ryan Robertsons, it would have absolutely no problems. He is a great player, but he's an even better person. There are no guarantees, of course, but no one will try to do what the coaching staff says more than Ryan."
Robertson is the 11th KU player to be drafted since Williams came to Kansas.
Robertson played for the Salina Cagerz of the United States Basketball League earlier this summer. Last weekend, he tried out for a professional team in his hometown, St. Charles, Mo.

Summer science program attracts non-KU students
By Matthew Friedrichs Kansas editor
Research opportunity offers valuable experience, exposure
Angle Anderson is studying flagella — the limbs on cells.
The senior from Ferris State University in Big Rapids, Mich., is working in a lab for Bill Dentler, professor of molecular biosciences.
Anderson and a select group of undergraduates from other universities and colleges are receiving stipends and room and board while conducting research in the chemistry, molecular biosciences and pharmaceutical chemistry departments at the University of Kansas this summer.
The KU departments involved send brochures about their programs to interested students and faculty at other universities hoping to attract academically talented undergraduates seeking lab experience.
The experience is giving Anderson an opportunity to evaluate her graduate school and career plans.
"The research experience for undergraduates is designed to attract people to careers in science," said Peter Gegenheimer, associate professor of molecular biosciences.
The temporary research assistants are paid with National Science Foundation grants and departmental funds.
As she carefully prepared samples to be scanned in an electron microscope, she commented on what she had learned.
"Here, compared to my home college, there's more pressure to get results," she said.
The flagella she's studying have been broken into smaller pieces in a chemical solution. She touches samples of flagella from algae cells to tiny droplets of water and to droplets of a luminescent yellow dye. The samples are then placed on a copper grid.

When she examines them under the microscope, she observes whether protein in the flagella has been regenerated during the life of the cell.
Her project is a small piece of a much larger examination of the genes that tell limbs — arms and legs — how long they're supposed to grow and when to stop growing.
She said her future plans included graduate school and a job in the biotechnology industry.
Those are the types of decisions that summer
Siahana coordinates his department's summer program for students from other campuses. He said that some past students had used the experience to decide not attend graduate school.
research should help undergraduate students make, said Teruna Siahaan, associate professor of pharmaceutical chemistry.

Others, including four last year, decide to apply to the University.
Gegenheimer said that the program was not explicitly viewed as a recruitment for the University, but that the exposure had been invaluable.
Anderson and her fellow undergraduate researchers are staying at Templin hall for the summer.
They will finish in July and present their results to one another during a poster session.

Kansas officials trying to monitor prescription drugs
Bv Lisa John
Kansan managing editor
A century ago, Kansas lawmakers battled ruffians on the prairie. Today, they're batting them on the Internet.
Kansas is leading the nation in a fight to curtail Internet drug companies that are dispensing prescription medicine where there is not a proven physician-patient relationship, said Mark Stafford, attorney for the Kansas State Board of Healing Arts.
While fighting lawbreakers on the Internet is one thing, finding them is another.
"It's like jousting with the wind-mills," Stafford said.
But even still, Stafford has managed to find them.
The issue first cropped up last June when Stafford received a notice from the Federation of State Medical Boards that said there were concerns about Internet prescription companies.
"We decided to take a look at the Web sites." Stafford said.
Not so coincidentally, this new Internet business took off at about the same time that two popular new drugs came on the market: Meridia, a diet medication similar to the now banned Fen-Phen, and Viagra.
As far as prescription medications are concerned, Stafford said,
"If it relates to losing weight, or if it relates to sex, it will sell."
Stafford said the drugs do sell, although he has no idea how many of the prescriptions are delivered to Kansans.
Stafford said the law doesn't have a problem with the sales of these drugs or with the people who have purchased them through these companies. The problem, he said, is that the medications essentially are being sold without a physician's orders.
Here's how it works. The patient logs onto an interactive Web site and fills out a health history form online.
"If you answer all the questions right, they will send you the drugs," Stafford said. "If there were some questions or contraindications, then supposedly, they'd send the form to the doctor first."
In November, Stafford's office filed a lawsuit against Lifestyles USA, Inc., Seattle, Wash., formerly known as Performance Drugs. Stafford said that a resulting judgment for bade the company from sending prescription drugs into Kansas.
In February, the Kansas Attorney General's office filed suit against the same company.
Kelli Benintendi, Assistant Attorney General, said her office has filed eight lawsuits against various Internet companies since February.
"Some of the companies have the Internet web sites, some of them have the pharmacies that were involved in actually dispensing the medications, and some are against the individual doctors," Benintendi said.
Benintendl also noticed a dramatic rise in Internet pharmacy business when Viagra came on the

market in the spring of 1998. She said that the lure of buying prescriptions on the Internet in a discrete manner, as well as saving the cost of going to a physician may be what appeals to consumers.
A big worry,Benintendi said,is that children may also purchase these medications.
This was proven when a 16-year-old who was participating in an Attorney General's office investigation was able to order Viagra from two Web sites, and Meridia from another Web site.
"On the application on the Web site, the minor did give his truthful date of birth, so the company should have been aware that this was a minor," Benintendi said.
"They're very helpful medications, but they can be very dangerous when consumers can purchase them without a doctor's involvement," she said.
The goal of the lawsuits is not to prevent Kansans from having access to these prescriptions, Ben-intendi said.
Sahar Girgis, patient pharmacy supervisor at the University of Kansas Medical Center, agreed that Internet drug buying could be dangerous.
"For instance, people can die
from taking Viagra if they have any heart problems or blood pressure problems," Girgis sat. "There are specific ways to use it, and they're not supposed to use it more than twice a week. If they can get hold of 10 to 20 tablets, they might use it as many times as they want."
There is a difference between mail-order pharmacies and Internet pharmacies, Girgis said.
Benintendi said she wonders what the future of Internet drug sales will be.
"With a mail order you have a prescription from your doctor. He knows everything about you, so if he feels comfortable giving you these drugs, that's fine. But to get a drug from the Internet where no doctor sees you—this is just unbelievable," she said.
"The law hasn't caught up with the technology," she said. "We're trying to apply old laws to very, very new issues."
As for Stafford, he continues his quixotic crusade.
In February, he filed two more lawsuits against Internet prescription companies.
"We were the only state, and we may still be the only state that has actually filed civil lawsuits to stop this," he said.
When a recent Web search turned up a company that said it could not sell drugs in Colorado, Wyoming and Utah, Stafford said he picked up the phone and suggested they add Kansas to the list.
"I told them, 'We've successfully sued other companies and you could be next.'"

Cellular calls don't begin with 'hello'
Wireless companies charge even if calls don't connect
The Associated Press
With mobile phones, the situation can be altogether different.
NEW YORK — Whether it is local or long distance, home phone or pay phone, it is understood: A call starts with "hello." If there is no answer, there is no charge.
Most mobile phone companies charge from the moment the caller hits the "send" button, and some industry leaders such as Sprint PCS charge for calls even if there is no answer.
This is especially true if the caller is paying extra fees for peak-hour usage, long-distance or out-of-area roaming charges of 60 cents or more a minute.
Because companies generally charge for a full minute, even when less than a minute is used, those few seconds of ringing could substantially inflate a monthly bill.
Most companies, however, don't charge if there is a busy signal.
These billing policies are spelled out in the contracts signed by today's 76 million cell phone users. But even some experts and careful shoppers were surprised to hear of them.
"I had no idea, and I would consider myself as astute on my telephone charges as anybody," said Rex G. Mitchell, a telecommunications industry analyst with Banc of America Securities in San Francisco and a former executive with the regional phone company U S West.
"Occasionally, when I'm out of town, I
will make a call and look at the second hand on my watch to keep it under a minute because I'm paying long-distance or roaming charges. But I've been timing it from 'hello' instead of from 'send.' I won't make that mistake now."
The issue of first-minute billing policies recently caught the public eye after Cellular One tried to reduce the free ringing time it gives its New England customers from 30 seconds to 15. The carrier was bombarded by customer complaints, and it quickly scrapped the change.
Many of the people signing up for wireless service each month focus less on when the call begins and more on how many minutes are included in their monthly calling plan or the fees for long distance and peak-hour calls.
Adam Litwinsky, 26, an independent filmmaker from New York, disconnected his home phone and uses his wireless for all calls. He had no idea that he could be charged for unanswered calls.
"I never really paid much attention to it, honestly," he said. "I just assumed. It kind of stinks."
Of course, regular calls also use resources such as space on a fiber-optic cable. But the companies argue that they have far greater capacity in their cables than in their wireless channels and that the demands of carrying a regular phone signal are negligible compared with those of a wireless signal.
The industry's rationale is that every cellular call uses the airwaves regardless of whether the call is successful.
"You're occupying a channel, so when you make a connection, you get charged from the inception of when you seize that
channel," said Jeff Battcher, a BellSouth representative. "For the most part, it's always been that way."
Sprint PCS and Nextel Communications are among those who time calls from "send" and charge for at least a minute regardless of whether there's an answer.
Even among companies that charge only when a call goes through, including AirTouch, Bell Atlantic Mobile and BellSouth Mobility, the meter usually starts running from "send," not from "hello."
Industry leader AT&T Wireless also starts the clock from "send" but doesn't charge for incomplete calls made from a customer's home region.
Because many calling plans come with hundreds of minutes to burn each month, a lot of mobile phone users rarely reach their limit and don't need to pay additional charges for calls that don't go through.
Litwinsky, for example, pays $100 a month for a Sprint PCS plan with 1,000 minutes of airtime so he won't have to worry about how long he talks or how many calls he makes. "I never go over," he said.
But for those who frequently exceed their monthly allowance or who sign up for cheaper plans with smaller time allotments, the first-minute charges can be substantial.
Sheila Adkins, representative for the Council of Better Business Bureaus and a Cellular One customer, was also surprised to hear about "send-to-end" charges.
"They don't tell you these things," she said. "I read my bill; I read all the filers. It goes to show, you really have to read your contract."

Saudi Arabia exporting students to KU for college preparation
By Katie Burford
Kansan campus editor
Thamer S. Al-Humayyd, 18, said that his first choice was the University of California, Los Angeles, but he thought he would be sent to the University of Colorado, Boulder. Not a bad place to be either, he said, because he enjoys skiing.
Al-Humayyd said that 2,400 students applied for Saudi Aramco's program. Students are chosen before their final year of high school. Of the 190 that were accepted, 50 dropped out because their grades were inadequate. Al-Humayyd said.
Fatal O. Ismail, 18, Thamer S. Al-Humayyd, 18, Hussam S. Al-Madani, 19, and Abdullah M. Al-Zahrami, 19, work on a computer project. The students from Saudi Arabia are here for the summer preparing to attend enroll at American universities. Photo by Roger Nomer/KANSAN
The University of Kansas is doing its part to prepare 15 of Saudi Arabia's best and brightest future computer scientists for university life in the United States.
Saudi Arabian Oil Co. (Saudi Aramco) selected 15 men, ages 18 to 20, to participate in an acculturation program at the University. The company also pays for the students to receive college educations in the United States after the program, said Christa Hansen, a coordinator with the University's Applied English Center.
Abdullah M. Al-Zahrami, 19, said that he was partial to Lawrence.
This is the first year the University has provided the acculturation program, which is offered by the Applied English Center and the School of Engineering. Vanderbilt University and Louisiana State University also offer a similar service to students in the Saudi Aramco program.
After completing the University's acculturation program, a few students will stay in Lawrence for college and the rest will transfer to other universities.
While here, the students take a variety of preparatory classes, including computer programming; introduction to U.S. technology education; and English for engineering. Classes started June 4 and will continue through the end of July.
Saudi Aramco primarily decides where students will attend college, but depending on their English proficiency, a few will have input on the decision.
"I think the people are very kind," he said. "I want to stay."
Saudi Aramco's program is competitive, and the students' time at the University reflects their challenges. Students have classes every morning and afternoon during the week and study ball each week night except Friday.
But the program is not all work and no play. On weekends, students go to the lake, to the movies — like The Matrix, Big Daddy and Instinct
or to other events in 1942.
Several students said they were looking forward to seeing the movie South Park.
"We get the tapes in Saudi Arabia" Al-Humavd said.
While many of the students are savvy and well-traveled, the transition to life in the United States does not come without adjustments. Food is one example.
hacket very well.
"At first, it was good," he said. "But now it's the same thing every night."
"The remedy? Pizza Shuttle."
Talal O. Ismail, 18, said that the food in Ekkdahl Dining Commons lacked variety.
The university not unlike many U.S. college students, the Saudi students call for pizza delivery on nearly a nightly basis.
In their native country, they are accustomed to eating dinner late, Ismail said.
"Sometimes, dinner is breakfast," be said.
The weather is another adjustment.
"It's always changing. One minute it's raining; the next it's sunny." AlHumayyd said.
Because many in the group attended boarding schools, they were accustomed to being away from their families before arriving at the University. However, a few lived at home, such as Abdullah M. Al-Zahrami, 19, who is away from his family for the first time.
He said that it was too soon to tell how he feels about being away.
Tom Mulnazzi, associate dean of the School of Engineering, said he worked to bring the program to the University because enrollment in the petroleum engineering program has been declining. By developing a relationship with Saudi Aramco, Mulnazzi said he hoped to reverse the trend.
Mulinazzi is teaching the course an U.S. technology education.
"I'm teaching them what the expectations are in terms of quality of work and what is considered ethical behavior in the United States so they don't inadvertently get themselves into trouble." Mullnazzi said.
He said that he hoped this year would mark the beginning of a long life for the program at the University.
After finishing their degrees, the students will return to Saudi Arabia.

Magic spells increased pizza sales
By Trevor Bundy
Special to the Kansan
All eyes in the restaurant were on the young man in the tuxedo as he approached the table.
First, Scott Henderson made everyone a balloon animal. Then he produced a red ball.
Austin Clapp, 6, squeezed the red ball until a black ball joined it in his hand. Another squeeze yielded a third ball. His eyes widened as the balls became a red foam rabbit, then two. A moment later they disappeared as Clapp stared open-mouthed.
Henderson had performed this trick five times since he started his work an hour ago. If the repetition was getting to him, he hid it well behind his ever-present grin.
Henderson is a magician. He is paid to entertain restaurant patrons with his sleight of hand instead of working in the kitchen or waiting at tables like other KU students. He also runs an online magic shop.
And his tricks are good for restaurant business. Greg Stewart, owner of Green Gecko Pizza, 12920 State Line Road, Leawood, said that his Friday nights have been busier since Henderson started performing. Stewart now discourages parties on those nights because the usual crowd has gotten so large.
Henderson said he uses the red ball because the kids think they made the trick happen .
Parents have told him stories about kids sitting around, squeezing normal balls to multiply them.
Joe Carr, 9, is one of those budding magicians. He comes to see Henderson at the Lawrence Pizza Co. every Wednesday evening to eat dinner and learn magic tricks.
Henderson had Carr pick a card, scribble on it and put it back in the deck. Henderson then opened a two-inch silver box sitting on the table and revealed the marked and folded
card.
Henderson's passion for illusion started when he got a Fisher Price magic kit at age 5. At first, he wasn't a master illusionist.
"The magic tricks wouldn't work," said his father, William Henderson. "But he'd go back and practice until he got them right."
Family trips with stops at magic stores inspired another dream — to own his own magic shop.
During winter break, Henderson and his brother Jim launched happymagic.com. The Web site, which advertises safe illusions that do not use fire or sharp objects, started with tricks put together with decks of cards. It now includes pre-made gimmicks from distributors' catalogs.
Henderson has managed to make enough money to support himself by performing. He hasn't had another job for three years. Before that, he mowed lawns, cooked pizza and waited tables. He said he would probably still be a wafter if it weren't for his magic act.
The job has other perks as well. He met his girlfriend, Karrie Payne, more than a year ago while performing at a restaurant. No one else at her table would volunteer for his finger guillotine trick.
"It turned out all right," Payne said. "I still have all my fingers."
Even with fringe benefits, table-side magic won't pay the bills forever. Henderson will graduate from the University of Kansas this semester with degrees in psychology and business administration. He said he hoped to work for himself, possibly owning a magic shop or a Web-design company.
"I just like making people smile," he said.

American Pie serves up a slice of hilarity
The funniest movie of the summer.
By Mike Miller
Special to the Kansan
Simply stated, that's what American Pie is. This raunchy tale of four adolescent boys who vow to lose their virginity by the prom is a hysterical laugh riot.
Austin Powers? Behave. Big Daddy? Big whoo. South Park: Bigger, Longer or Uncut? Close, but those guys are cartoons. It's easier to do comedy with cartoons, The Simpsons have been doing it for years.
Honest to goodness comedy, something undeniably funny, is the most precious of all movie gifts. Ruachy comedy began with Blazing Saddles and Animal House then came to a new level with There's Something About Mary last summer. Now great comedies are the most cutting edge movies around. Comedies have always dealt with taboos and stereotypes — Blazing Saddles' uninhibited use of the N-word, Animal House's unabashed look at fraternity life and new uses for body parts and excrement in any Farrellly Brothers' movie — but only the best comedies use them to their advantage.
American Pie has a cast of unknown actors, (the most recognizable being Buffy the Vampire Slayer's Alyson Hannigan as a band campobessed flutist and Eugene Levy as a hapless and perplexed dad) but the unknowns leave
Commentary
their marks on the screen.
The most impressive is Jason Biggs, who as Jim, represents all hopelessly horny teen-age boys. Jim is not only curious about sex, he becomes enveloped in everything about sex. How to do it, what it looks like and how it feels. How sex feels becomes so intriguing that Biggs may have created a character he'll never escape. At least, mom's apple pie will never be the same.
The boys, tired of being mercilessly teased by classmates about being virgins, make a pact to enter adulthood by their senior prom.
The movie is one ribald situation after another. Getting busted watching scrambled channels. The foreign exchange student fantasy. Being ridiculed for using the restroom at school (number two of course). And the guy with the hot mom. All of the situations come to light in hilarious fashion, while never straying too far from how cruel and confusing high school is.
What ensues is high school at its finest — in retrospect of course. Situations so funny and so unbelievable that they turn into legend, passed on to siblings and friends.
That's the beauty of the movie, it's familiarity
Somewhere in the movie you'll find a friend from high school. Or the unattainable girl with the nearby locker. Or the unapproachable jock who bags on everyone because of his own insecurities. True, these people were left behind in high school, but now they're revisited, purely for entertainment
Though some may write the movie off as one stereotype after another, that's not the case. These kids are real, they went to my high school. And the rival high school. And my cousin's high school. The characters are so identifiable, you could name which of your friends Jim is most like. Or the abrasive jerk, the jock who is actually a choir boy, the choir girl who isn't and the dork who gets laid.
In the end, there's something for everybody in American Pie. There are more belly laughs than a movie like Dumb and Dumber, but there's subtlety as well. Best of all, thanks to raunchy movies, no punches are pulled. Much like South Park, part of the jokes come from bewilderment at the frankness of the movie. The sheer joy of exclaiming, "Did they really just do that?" is part of the fun. Even if it's not wholesome family fun.
Go see this movie with friends. Preferably with close friends, so afterwards you can sit around and marvel at the similarities of American Pie and your own adolescent experiences.

Marriage a challenge couples must meet
Learn to appreciate the relief that comes with the realization that your two-year old has made it through his birthday party without biting any guests.
As the years go by, the challenges change, but they never go away.
When asked to write about weddings, I cringed, knowing all too well that a successful wedding does not ensure a successful marriage.
After all, 100 percent of marriages have a wedding—whether it is a courthouse ceremony or a full-blown extravaganza—but only 50 percent of marriages survive.
I was once a starry-eyed bride. At 21, I believed in happily-ever-after.
If indeed it could be termed a "game" at all, the question would be: Are we willing to work on this marriage every single day and to do all we can to make it be all it can be for as long as we both shall live?
The guessing game is no longer about plucking petals from a daisy, saying, "He loves me, he loves me not."
In an ideal world, even as the icing droops down the cake on a hot July day, as the ring bearer wipes away his tears and braves a smile, and as the hesitant father gives his daughter away, the trip down the aisle is, or should be, a journey for life.
wasn't so happy anymore.
Things just weren't right, and
by that time it seemed too late to
make them right.
John is a Tonganoxie graduate student in journalism.
And now, three years after that, I wonder if the situation were right, would I dare take the chance again? Would I dare believe in happily-ever-after ever again?
I made one more trip down the aisle, this time finding a truly happy marriage. But three years later, he died.
But 16 years later I realized it

Answers to last week's crossword puzzle.
Independence Day is safely behind us, and Americans are now enjoying the dog days of summer. (Or is enjoy too strong a word? But I digress...)
With nary a bank holiday in sight until the end of August, there just isn't much to do except try to beat the heat and look for other reasons to throw a party.
With that goal in mind, this week's trip through the Wide Wide Web is devoted to weddings. Most people associate weddings with summer, thus the subject of this column.
So unless anyone knows a reason why I shouldn't proceed, let us do—and what this columnist has written let no editor put asunder.

Commentary
Of mints and men: Wedding survival guide for guys
The University of Kansas does not offer a class explicitly on weddings.
Dennis Dalley's sex class — he's a social welfare professor — covers relationships. But for many college men, the intricacies of the wedding ceremony are blurred childhood memories of cake and mints.
Experience or no, many undergraduate men will be asking their roommates and close friends to assist them as they marry women they met in freshman English class.
I've attended 25 traditional church weddings since 1991. From my experiences and observations, I've gleaned the following rules for men in weddings:
1. Show up on time
2. Look good in your tuxedo.
if you tu we're told.
3. Do what you're told
4. Reread No. 3.
Of course, specific roles require different instructions.
Ring bearers (and their accompanying flower girls) are the epitome of cuteness.
They absorb few instructions other than "Son, please walk down that long, scary aisle to the front of the church and Grandma will give you some candy."
For my uncle Galen and aunt Lynette's 1977 wedding, I had my first haircut at a barbershop. It was a traumatic
experience for a 4-year-old
Usher
Usheres do the grunt work at weddings. Good ushers nud and say, "yes," when one of the mothers makes a request. They nod and say, "yes," again, when the other mother makes a contrary suggestion.
[Name]
They ask people whether they want to sit on the bride or groom's side and then even-out the sides when either the bride or groom has a larger family.
Friedrichs Kansan editor
Groomsman
And ushers sweat a lot. In 1995, Rick and Shelley Smith were married in Fairview in a dinky church. The other usher and I stood with our backs against the door, hoping nobody arrived late because we had filled the last available seat in the church.
Usher's make sure the important people — grandparents, great aunts and close family friends — sit close to the front.
Groommen are window-dressing meant to provide balance to the bridesmaids. Groommen should review the four, previously mentioned rules and be prepared for the flashburn from a zillion pictures.
Single groomsmen also spend much of their time speculating on the marital status of the bridesmaids and every other attractive woman in the church.
Best man
The best man, often the groom's brother or best friend, has multiple responsibilities.
He usually arranges a "social" outing — the bachelor party — that includes the groom, male members of the wedding party, friends and hangers on.
The best man stands directly to the groom's right (as the groom faces the altar) and tries not to lose the rings.
The best man also attempts a toast at the wedding reception — after consuming several drinks in rapid succession.
Groom
I know nothing about being the groom. You're on your own.
Don't worry too much. Just open your checkbook and smile in the pictures...
Father (for our readers with grown children)
Priest/pastor/officiant (not always a male role)
Refer to your favorite divinity school.
The church is in the middle of a wooded area. It has a steeply sloped roof with a cross at the top and tall windows with arched designs. The walls are made of stone, and there is a small porch or entrance to the building.
Friedrichs is a Brenen graduate student in journalism. He has been a bartender twice, a groomsman twice and an usher five times. Saturday he will attend a wedding in Baumont, Texas.
Couples who have as much of a love for theUniversity of Kansas as for each other can hold their wedding at Danforth Chapel. Photo by Jamie Roper/KANSAN
I am so happy to have you here at the wedding. I love you very much. We'll always be together. You make me feel so special. I'll miss you every day. I'm so grateful for your presence. Thank you.
Going to the chapel
Many options are open for brides

By Katie Burford
Kansan campus editor
Every married friend I have gives me the same advice—elope.
After hearing the trials and tribulations of planning a wedding, I tend to agree.
Stacee Martin, a wedding consultant with Liz Karrr Catering, said that between six and nine months were required to plan proper nuptials.
Martin ticked of the "To Do" list for the bride-to-be (and yes, it's usually the bride doing the planning because, traditionally, it's her family who is paying.):
1. Set a date
2. Choose a location for
2. Choose a location for the reception and ceremony
3. Arrange for the caterer, florist and photographer
4. Choose a wedding gown and bridesmaids' dresses
6. Plan the reception
And so on. Most of this has to be done between 9 and 5 Monday to Friday because that's when places are open. In my opinion, the Internet hasn't got anything on wedding planning when it comes to work hours wasted. That's why its good to be gainfully employed before any questions get popped.
Speaking of the Internet, there are planning resources a-plenty to be found online. Go to
http://dir.yahoo.com/Society_and_Culture/Weddings/ and you can plan, register for wedding gifts, find wedding chat rooms, answer your wedding etiquette questions and more. Modern Bride, indeed!
Besides all the planning, the 'Big Day' usually comes with a hefty price tag.
Even more quaint and also cost-free is KU's Danforth Chapel. There is no charge for using the chapel, which may be why it sees so much traffic. During peak wedding season, up to three weddings a day are performed thereon Saturdays and Sundays, said Danny Kaiser, director of the Organizations and Leadership Center.
a shoestring budget. The local courthouse is always an option.
Martin said that the least she had planned a wedding for was $3,000 and the most was $30,000.
Moving up the price scale,
Connie Detweiler, event coordinator for the Circle S Guest Ranch & Country Inn, said that they did rehearsal dinners, and smaller, less-formal weddings. She said that providing a rustic, yet romantic, honeymono suite for the newlyweds to spend their first night together was their specialty.
Nonetheless, the knot is still tied, even if it's done on
Martin said that people often consider crazy ideas but rarely follow through.
While much of wedding planning is a question of personal style, tradition blavs a big part.
"Everyone starts out that way but usually falls in the traditional style." she said.
For some, planning a wedding can be a chance to savor each step toward the commitment they are about to take. For others, myself included, chewing on aluminum foil for a couple of days sounds like more fun.
Martin, who was married three years ago, said she loved it.
"To me it is a passion. It's so much fun because you are helping people who are in love," she said. "I enjoy the beauty of it."
I enjoy the beauty too—
the free food and drinks
aren't bad either. I've got no
problem with weddings at
all ... as long as they aren't
mine.
Commentary
Weddings are bliss but life is the test
But wait.
Weddings, hearts a flutter, shoes shining, dresses puffed and pressed, tuxedos and cummerbunds joining in the best-dressed look of the day. At first glance, all's perfect.
There's hesitation in the bride's step, and her father looks like he'd wants to pull her from the aisle and usher her out the door. The flower girl is wiping her nose on the sleeve of her organdy dress and the ring bearer has tripped and scraped his knee. The little bags of birdseed have fallen off the table, the icing on the cake droops in the July heat, the organist plays a wrong note and the congregation stands to watch the bride.
The groom awaits.
To the c a s u l o l observer who still believes in fairy tales, the life ahead will be full of love, romance and mirth. But to the rest, the ones who have been on

the path where the bride and groom now are beginning to tread, the life ahead is laced with pitfalls.
Those who have been there know all too well that however loving and romantic the intentions, preconceived notions enter this equation. Starry eyes and sweet nothings soon will be interrupted by details of everyday life: Who makes the bed, who cooks dinner, who does the laundry, who takes the cars for oil changes, who sleeps on the couch if the other one sores, who mows the yard, who pays the bills out of whose salaries, who mails the bills. It's an endless road of twists and turns.
Just when they think they've finally gotten everything straight, they reach another turn.
He likes to travel to Europe, she likes a cozy bed-and-breakfast an hour from home. He takes up hunting, she takes up vegetarianism. He wants to save for a cabin in the mountains, she wants to save for a new and bigger house in the suburbs. He never takes a vacation without packing a fishing rod, she never wants to see a fishing rod again.
And then there's children, the little bundles of joy that come home from the hospital in a hush of lullabies and love. The little bundles of joy that, when they are about eight months, begin to not only talk, but

Collision claims KU student's life
Friends,family recollect memories
By Lisa John
Kansan managing editor
Ethan Lichti, 21, Newton sophomore, died Saturday night after being involved in a three-vehicle collision on Interstate 70.
Sgt. John Eichkorn, Kansas Highway Patrol, said that the accident occurred in a two-lane construction zone five miles west of Paxico.
Eichkorn said that a front tire exploded on an eastbound 1985 GMC pickup truck driven by Dana Moodle, 44, Topeka. Moodle lost control of the vehicle, swerved left and
sideswiped a vehicle before striking Lichti's westbound 1992 Mazda head on.
Lichti, who did have his seat belt fastened, died at the scene.
]
Moodie and Brandon Funk, 23, Lawrence, the driver of the vehicle that was side-swiped, were treated and released at St. Francis Hospital and Medical Center, Topeka, said Kathy
Toelkes, hospital spokesperson
Lichti: died Saturday evening in an accident i-70.
Lichi's brother, Tobin, said that his brother had been on the way to Manhattan to attend a friend's 21st birthday party when the accident occurred.
Tobin Lichti described his brother, who had just completed a summer class at KU, as a humanitarian, and said he had been working toward a double major in political science and African American studies.
"He was very interested in the history of African Americans in the United States and in all of the different things they had to go through." Tobin Lichti said.
Tobin Lichti attributed his brother's interest in humanity to the way their parents reared them.
"They raised us to love everyone, and not
to make any type of decisions about a person until after you've actually met them," he added.
Jeff Shappard, Topeka senior, was Ethan Lichti's roommate.
Shappard described Lichti as a young man who was dedicated to trying to express humanitarian issues through music. Shappard was part of an 8-person band, the "LBranch," that was just starting to perform in the Lawrence area. Lichti spent his time writing lyrics, writing hip-hop music, playing, going to shows and listening to music, Shappard said.
"He loved living in Lawrence and was going back to school this fall. I could see that he had finally seen what he wanted to do and he was on his path." Shappard said.
"We plan on continuing to play in the band, in his memory — to keep him alive," he added.
Hilary Bailey, Wichita junior, said that Lichi was a Leonard Peltier supporter, and had a passion for reading books by African American author Mumia Ab-Jamal.
Bailey said that Lichti had taken a year off of college after his sophomore year to focus on music, reading and writing.
"He would write at all hours of the day and night, sometimes even staying up writing until 6 a.m.," she said. During this time, she said, he also managed the American Pie Pizzeria, at 1741 Massachusetts.
"He went against the norm of going straight through school, but he would always tell me that he followed his heart, and did exactly what he wanted to do — what felt right." she said.
She attributed his positive attitude to his family upbringing.
"He came from a big family, and all through their lives they were taught to treat people how you want to be treated, whether they were rich or poor, well-dressed or not," Bailey said. "He didn't know anything different."
Visitation is this morning at Broadway Colonial Funeral Home, Newton, and a memorial service will begin at 2 p.m. today at the First Mennonite Church, Newton. Memorials may be sent to the funeral home, 120 E. Broadway, Newton, Kan. 67114.

Commission leashes dog owners

slapped with a fine between $10 and $500
for violating the amended Animal Control Code proposed by the Lawrence City Commission last night.
NO PETS ON THE FENCE
"The intent of all this is not to create a police state after dog excrement," Commissioner Dave Dunfield said. "This is more an educational proposal than anything else."
At least one Lawrence resident isn't waiting around for the proposed law. Jean Boon said he had regular problems keeping his lawn clean of dog poop. But ever since he had a 'no pooping' sign made, the dog droppings cleared up.
"I think a law like that is overdue," Boon said. "I don't know how practical it is for the whole city, but where a lot of people are walking dogs, like here, it is definitely called for."
bor. you'll take care of your animals."
The current proposal comes after the rejection of one that would have banned pit bulls from the streets of Lawrence. The new proposal would allow police to determine whether a dog is prone to unprovoked attacks, and thus dangerous.

"It comes down to a good-neighbor policy," Hodges said. "If you're a good neighbor."
Under the proposed law, dogs deemed dangerous must be registered with the city and housed in a pen suitable to confine the dog and prevent children from getting in.
Hodges said that the law was primarily designed to educate people about their responsibilities as pet owners, but that steps were being taken to make sure the new laws could be enforced.
Commissioners also agreed to hire a third animal control officer as well as purchase another animal control vehicle. Hodges said that, with those improvements, animal control enforcement could be more proactive, rather than simply responding to complaints.
But she said that fining people for unscooped poop was going too far. "I think everybody's yard gets pooped in," Cowles said. "If I owned a yard, I would probably clean it up and get on with life. Everybody poops."
Emily Cowles agreed that owners should be with their dogs at all times. Cowles, Overland Park senior, and her dog, Ginger, were attacked on campus last semester by a German Shepherd that broke the leash holding it to a tree.
If the Commission approves the law, campus dog walkers would be subject to the same fines. But Lt. Schuyler Bailey of the University Public Safety Office said that campus police would likely enforce
the law only
when there is a problem.
"For the most part, dogs are not a problem," Bailey said. "So we're not strict with the leash law until we receive a complaint. Then we respond to it."
Bailey said that, to his knowledge, there had never been a complaint regarding dog poop on campus.
The proposed amendments are slated for formal approval in the next few weeks.

Fresh foods and sweet smells tempt the senses at Farmers Market
Story by Mindie Miller  Photos by Jamie Roper
For those with a sweet tooth, Ken Snow and grandson James Snow, both rural Lawrence residents, vend a variety of honeys at the Farmer's Market.
t 5:30 on Saturday morning, most Lawrence resi
At 6:30 a.m., a bell signals that the Lawrence Farmers Market is officially open for business. Smiling customers meander among the various booths, taking in the sights and scents and
ing, most Lawrence residents are sleeping soundly. But in the 1000 block of Vermont Street, a flurry of activity emanates from a parking lot where area vendors prepare to sell their products. They arrange fruits, vegetables, baked goods, fresh flowers and crafts on tables as the sun rises.
THE TRAVEL MARKET
This open-air market has been operating in Lawrence since 1975, when it was held behind the Douglas County Courthouse. In 1982, Downtown Lawrence, Inc. began sponsoring the Market, and it was moved to its current location. The Market begins on the second Saturday in May and ends on the second Saturday in November. It is open every Tuesday and Thursday from 4 to 6:30 p.m. and every Saturday from 6:30 to 10:30 a.m.
purchasing items that catch theireyes.
Mark Schmidt, owner of CinnaMan, Ltd., a gourmet bakery, said he had been selling cinnamon rolls, coffeeeakes, various flavored muffins and homemade breads at the Market for four years. He said that he had some regular customers and that his most effective form of advertising was verbal.
Across the lot from Schmidt's booth, Ron and Renee Goolsbys, owners of Agapé Cacti & Critters, are selling potted cactus gardens and succulents, or cacti without needles. Ron Goolsby explained that water could be a cactus's worst enemy.
"Word of mouth has been good to me." Schmidt said.
"You meet people. You see people. I saw a girl last week I hadn't seen for 20 years," he said. "Plus, the smells are great."
"Water can kill cacti real quick. They don't need water for four to six weeks," Goollsby said. "Cacti love sunlight, so you can leave them outside. As long as the pot has drain holes, Mother Nature will do the rest." Goollsby said that he and his wife had been coming to the Market for only two months, but that he enjoyed the atmosphere
Market customers share Goolsby's enthusiasm. Diane Bannerman-Juracek and her 4-year-old son, Brandon, are regulars.

wants a sweet roll, and then we go to South Park," Bannerman-Juracek said. "The Market is great."
She said that customers arriving early could select the items they wanted to buy, but that they could not actually pay for anything until she rang the bell at 6:30.
"We do have customers who arrive about the same time the vendors do—about 5:30 or 6 a.m. And in the fall, when it's not light until later, they bring flashlights to view the produce," she said.
The Farmers Market attracts an eclectic group. Thrasher said she saw many KU faculty members and some students as customers, but that most students don't like to get up that early on Saturday mornings.
"There is one vendor in particular who feels we should have a 'proper' market with a permanent covering, like the market in Kansas City." Thrasher said.
"That's one reason I'd like to see the hours later," Thrasher said.
She said the hours were early on Saturdays because much of the produce suffered in the heat. To beat restrictions presented by the weather, some Market members would like to see changes in the Market's format.
---
Thrasher said the Market had planned some special theme days to attract customers on upcoming Saturdays. On Aug. 7, the theme will be "Do Play with Your Food." Activities will include zucchini car races, vegetable sculptures and potato stamping.
"We'd like the city to build us a beautiful enclosure with ceiling fans in another location where we'd have not only more stalls but also parking for customers."
"Learn to Eat Your Five a Day" will be the theme on Sept. 25. Thrasher said that Nancy O'Connor, nutrition educator for Community Mercantile, would give a presentation of the food nvramid.
Colorful squash and huge shallots are among the selection of foods and goods available at the Farmer's Market.
On Oct. 9, the Market will feature pumpkin carving, caramel apples, cider sampling, mums and kettle corn as part of its "Fall Harvest."

Cable upgrade providing more local programming
Excellent! Wayne's World-like shows soon could be broadcast via cable television in Lawrence.
As Sunflower Cablevision, 644 New Hampshire St., replaces its Lawrence-area wire cable lines with fiber-optic cable lines, the local cable provider is adding public-access channels. The University of Kansas television station, KUJH, will be available on cable tomorrow.
While it's unlikely that students will parody the characters made famous by Mike Myers and Dana Carvey on Saturday Night Live, opportunities for students and community members to broadcast their work will increase.
Homes within 30 miles of Lawrence can tune in KUJH on Channel 14 now. But the move to cable means that more than 30,000 subscribers — about 80 percent of Lawrence and Eudora residents — will at least be able to flip past the campus station.
KUJH will be on Channel 68, Haskell Indian Nations University programming will be on Channel 69, and a public access channel for use by anyone in the community will be on Channel 70.
Ann Niccum, Channel 6 production manager, said the KU, Haskell and public access channels were part of the franchise agreement Sunflower Cablevision signed with the city of Lawrence.
KUJH broadcasts a local news program five nights a week during the spring and fall semesters. It also carries a simulcast the KUJK radio news five times a day and broadcasts other local events.
Gary Hawke, general manager of the integrated media laboratory at the University, said the student station would try to present more local programming. KUJH uses a live feed from the All News Channel when not broadcasting original programming.
The new channels should be available to all Sunflower subscribers by the end of the year. The fiber-optic upgrade already is complete for about 25 percent of Sunflower subscribers, including those in Eudora, North Lawrence, south of 15th Street, south of
23rd Street and west of Crossgate.
Kansas teachers go hightech after trip to Ecuador
Twelve Kansas teachers recently completed a tour of Ecuador. The information they gathered there will be used to create an interactive CD and a Web site for use in Kansas school districts.
The tour was sponsored by a Fulbright-Hays Group Projects Abroad grant from the U.S. Department of Education to the University of Kansas Center of Latin American Studies. KU's School of Education provided additional support for the project.
Leading the tour were Susan Twomby, professor of teaching and leadership; Manuela Gonzalez-Bueno, assistant professor of teaching and leadership; and Martina Masaquiza, lecturer in Latin American studies from Salasaca, Ecuador.
Kansas teachers competed to participate in the four-week program, which focused on cultural and geographic diversity. The 12 teachers are now working on campus to create Spanish and social studies lessons that will be available to all teachers in Kansas.
The CD and Web site address will be available in August from the Center of Latin American Studies.
Nagel and Michaelis named distinguished
distinguished professors
Joane Nagel, professor of sociology and department of sociology chairwoman, and Eli Michaelis, director of the Higuchi Biosciences Center and chairman of the department of pharmacology and toxicology, have been named University of Kansas distinguished professors.
Nagel, with 22 years at the University, has done research on ethnicity in the United States and abroad, including areas of study such as the Angolan civil war in the 1970s, the Kurdish resistance movement from the 1960s through the 1990s and Native American activism in the 1960s and 1970s.
Her book, "American Indian Ethnic Renewal: Red Power Resurgence of Identity and Culture," was selected as a 1996 Outstanding Academic Book by Choice magazine.
Norman Yetman, Chancellor's Club teaching professor of sociology and American studies, said that Nagel's research demonstrates that ethnic identities are constantly evolving.
"Her new work exploring the intersections of race, ethnicity, nationalism and sexuality is at the very cutting edge of the discipline and promises to revolutionize the ways we think about racial and ethnic relations," Yetman said.
Nagel has contracted with Oxford University Press to publish her sixth book, The Color of Sex: Constructing Racial, Ethnic and Sexual Boundaries and Identities.
Michaelis joined the University's faculty as an assistant professor in the human development and biochemistry departments in 1973. During his time at the University, he has developed an internationally acclaimed program of research and education that ranges from the behavioral sciences to the physical sciences.
Michaelis is a leading authority on the molecular basis of brain function, including the link between molecular events in the nervous system and disorders such as alcoholism and the diseases of aging.
He was named professor and chair of phar macology and toxicology and director of the Center for Biomedical Research in 1988 and became the director of the Higuchi Biosciences Center in 1989.
He was named the director of the Center for Neurobiology and Immunology Research in 1992.
Historians research 1864 Mine Creek Battle events
Kip Lindberg, curator of the Mine Creek Battlefield State Historical Site near Pleasanton, Kan., about 50 miles south of Olathe, will be working with KU researchers to learn more about the 1864 battle of Mine Creek in which more than 300 Confederate soldiers were killed.
"We'd like to locate the original Fort Scott road that went through this area," Lindberg said. "That would help us in placing the events of the battle. And by locating the road, we should be able to find the foundations of several of the buildings that were in

the area."
Researchers from the Kansas Geological Survey are assisting officials with the Kansas State Historical Society to locate the historical road and unmarked graves of the Confederate soldiers who fell in the area by using high-frequency ground-penetrating radar.
Recently, the Mine Creek Battlefield acquired an additional 80 acres east of the visitor center. That acreage is where most of the search will take place.
The battle was initiated when Confederate forces under commander Maj. Gen. Sterling Price had moved into Missouri in the autumn of 1864. After several hard-fought battles, Price's men were defeated in the battle of Westport in what is now Kansas City, Mo.
Multicultural Affairs office welcomes new director
Alton D. Scales has been named director of the University of Kansas Office of Multicultural Affairs, formerly known as the Office of Minority Affairs.
Scales comes to KU from Whitehall, Pa., where he was a facilitator and consultant with the National Coalition Building Institute, a diversity training organization based in Washington D.C.
Before that, he was assistant to the associate vice president for student affairs and the director of Intercultural Services at the University of North Texas, Denton.
He has worked on retention programs for minority, first generation and disabled student populations and has presented multicultural programs for students, staff, faculty. Scales received a bachelor's degree in industrial technology and a master's degree in engineering technology from University of North Texas.

Searching the night skies from KU perch
Campus telescopes provide stargazers with stellar insights
By John Franey
Kansan staff writer
Although most observatories are located in desolate places on mountaintops far from the light pollution of the city, KU students and the public need journey no farther than Lindley Hall to view their favorite celestial bodies at the Tombaugh Observatory.
Named after Clyde Tombaugh, an early 20th century astronomer who discovered Pluto, the observatory houses an impressive collection of telescopes that are available to the public after dark on the second and fourth Sundays of each month.
"Saturn is quite spectacular through the six-inch refractor telescope," said Torry Crass, a Phelps, Wis., sophomore and president of The Astronomy Associates of Lawrence, as he walked through the rooftop labyrinth that leads from one telescope to another.
The array of telescopes comprises five eight-inch reflector telescopes, 14-inch and 27-inch reflector telescopes, and a six-inch refractor telescope manufactured in 1885.
"Even though this is the oldest telescope we use, it's the best for planetary viewing because of the quality of the optics," Crass said as he trained the long, gleaming brass instrument on the sun to see if there was any sunspot activity.
Two of the eight-inch telescopes are linked to computers that are programmed to track particular objects in the night sky.
The 27-inch telescope, which was built in the 1930s and is no longer in use, is housed in a wooden dome that stands nearly three stories tall.
Crass is working on a bachelor's degree in astronomy, and with more than 10 years of experience with telescopes, he's able to bring many of the distant objects in the sky in to view.
"With the computerized telescopes that we use for our open house, we can easily see over 100 objects in a night of viewing," Crass said.
Among those objects are the
moon, planets, star clusters, nebulae, galaxies and comets if they happen to be passing by. Crass said that, unfortunately, it's not possible to see anything the Apollo 11 astronauts left on the moon, but that it was probably the most frequently asked question from amateur stargazers as they surveyed the moon's surface.
"The moon is a big object," he said. "Looking for a flag on its surface is like looking for a pin." But Crass said that most people were taken back when they got a good view of the moon or the rings of Saturn on a clear night.
Most people who show up to stargaze every other Sunday night are members of the Astronomy Associates, but Crass said the public is more than welcome and he would like to see more of the Lawrence community.
Steve Shawl, professor of Physics and Astronomy and director of the Tombaugh Observatory, agreed. Shawl said that he has seen less interest in the observatory in recent years and that he would like to see more people take advantage of the facility.
"The department is working hard"

to move the observatory to a better site," Shawl said. He added that a better site would be one with less light pollution, but he did not say where it would be located.
Even though Lawrence is not situated high in the desert miles away from the light pollution of the city, spectacular views of the planets and stars can still be seen at the Tombaugh Observatory on top of Lindley Hall.

StudEx passes new agenda, now meetings could shorten
By Matthew Friedrichs Kanson editor
Student Senate meetings could be shorter this year thanks to a modified agenda.
The Student Senate Executive Committee approved the new agenda July 7.
Korb Maxwell, student body president, proposed the changes which will be implemented this fall.
The chairmen and chairwomen of the finance, graduate affairs, multicultural affairs, student rights and university affairs committees—the five Student Senate standing committees—will no longer automatically be included on the agenda. Instead, they will have to ask StudEx to be added to the agenda, and if approved, can speak during the other reports section of the agenda.
The issues agenda will also be earlier in the meeting, ensuring that senators will be more attentive and willing to discuss the issues presented. Maxwell said.
ate Executive Committee
Amy Cummins, Senate Em-
member and graduate student senator, opposed the agenda changes. She argued that the Graduate Professional Association should have a permanent spot on the agenda and offered an amendment to add the organization to the agenda.
Maxwell said the amendment defeated the purpose of the new agenda, which was to shorten meetings by eliminating unnecessary reports.
But Cummins said that graduate students would feel neglected by not being included.
Minority,engineering and journalism students are important,but they don't necessarily need to read

StudEx rejected Cummins' amendment and passed the new agenda.
The new agenda could lower the profile and influence of the committee leadersif they speak less often at Senate meetings.
But Maxwell said committee representatives and other student senators with relevant business and not repetitive and unnecessary speeches would be able to get on the agenda.
"Any senator can come to StudEx and get on during the additional reports," he said.

STATE GAMES
Sunflower games seek teamwork from University
By Lisa John
Kansan managing editor
The headquarters of the Sunflower State Games is a colorful place this month.
A stack of Jayhawk plastic sacks filled with freebies to give to game participants overflows into the room and stacks of T-shirts and baseball caps decked with the Sunflower State Games' logo cover several tabletops in the basement office in the 900 block of Massachusetts.
Almost everything is in order for this year's Sunflower games — except that more volunteers are needed, said Kelly Mason, executive director of the games.
"It takes about 450 volunteers to run the games," Mason said. "Right now, we still need to have about 200 more volunteers."
Volunteers are wanted especially for the track and field events that will be held in Baldwin, as well as for other sporting events at the University of Kansas, Mason said. For those who prefer to stay where it's cool, there are even indoor events, registration tables and sales booths to be staffed. Children ages 10 and above and all adults are invited to volunteer.
Workdays are divided into four-hour shifts, and Mason said that people who worked more than one consecutive shift would be invited to lunch or dinner.
Richard Konzem, associate director of the the University of Kansas Athletic Corporation and past president of the Sunflower State Games, said this was an event that showcases not only Lawrence, but also the University. He said for that reason it was important for people with KU connections to serve as volunteers.
Two years ago, athletes from each of Kansas' 105 counties participated in the games.
"Often, this is their first visit to Lawrence," Konzem said. "The Sunflower State Games allow citizens from all over our state to see our campus. So obviously, we need to have KU people involved in the games. They bring so much inside knowledge as well as the ability to host people."
Mason estimated that as many as 9,000 athletes ages 5 to 80 would be participating in this year's competitive events in areas such as archery, basketball and tae kwon do. The games are scheduled for Friday through Sunday and July 23 through 25.
This is the 10th year of the Sunflower Games, which are promoted as a multi-sport, Olympic-style festival for Kansas' amateur athletes. Mason said the event is put on without state funding. "We are entirely supported by registration fees and corporate sponsors," he said.

"We generally have a job for just about everybody." Mason said.

Opinion
Senate code needs amendment
StudEx moves could benefit grad students
In the perspective of the Student Senate Executive Committee (StudEx), one-fourth of the student body doesn't matter. I'm referring to the graduate and professional students, who are about 24 percent of the students at the University of Kansas.
Since becoming a StudEx member in Fall 1999, I have consistently witnessed an ignorance and dismissal of graduate concerns. I would like to give a few recent examples and would ask StudEx to solve the problems.
This spring, when the Finance Committee cut the budget of the Graduate and Professional Association, graduate students got proof that their student activity fees were not being used well.
Then, StudEx jumped at a
There was an erroneous claim that the graduate community had no interest in the position. In fact, past StudEx chairmen had not made the position known.
chance to eliminate a graduate seat from its membership. On June 30, StudEx passed a bill that took away a graduate seat from StudEx.
The graduate seats on StudEx existed because the graduate community had insisted on fair representation in Student Senate.
Because of an error on StudEx's part, the eliminated seat was not mentioned in the University Senate Code. The solution to the problem is not the elimination of members, but a simple amendment to Senate Code.
Partha Mazumdar, graduate affairs committee chairman, has sponsored legislation to be considered on July 21 that would make that correction.
Having three graduate student seats on a 12-member committee is the right proportion. And the graduate StudEx members, like graduate senators, help Senate a lot.
For instance, Mazumdar, who is also the GPA Executive Director, has sponsored many senate resolutions for the past two years.
StudEx on July 7 also failed a motion to allow a GPA report at each Senate meeting. Now, GPA has to request permission to be included under additional reports. The same holds true for all five standing committees, whose reports were eliminated from Senate's agenda.
The student body president, vice president, and some of their appointed staff can still talk for as long as they would like. The result is that the student body in general doesn't get heard, unless it plays the political game.
Korb Maxwell, student body president, aspires to represent the entire university. But let's see talk translated into actions. The academic year 2000 must be the one in which the student body president reaches beyond the undergraduate part of the constituency and sees that all of our concerns are intertwined.
StudEx needs to take the follow
ing actions on behalf of the graduate and professional students at KU:
Give appropriate representation on StudEx to the graduate and professional students by passing Mazumdar's bill on July 21.
Make the Graduate and Profes
sional Association Report a standing item on the Senate agenda.
Fully fund GPA, and learn how the money is used.

Israel reverberates with religion, division
Reporting from Israel
I always thought coming to Israel would be the ultimate religious experience.
And it has been — I've never been more aware of my religion and my heritage.
But I've also never been more aware of what a strange—and sometimes destructive—phenomenon religion is.
One cannot spend time in Jerusalem without feeling the religious presence.
Ultra-Orthodox Jews dressed in black pass Christian tour groups, while close by, hordes of Muslims head toward the Dome of the Rock for one of their daily prayers.
It's awe-inspiring to stand in the midst of this outpouring of belief and contemplate how holy this city is to so many people.
However, in learning the history of Jerusalem, it's impossible to ignore that time and time again, religion has turned into a deadly weapon, killing those unfortunate enough to get caught in the crossfire.
Since its creation, Jerusalem has been the site of bloody battles and riots — mostly in the name of God. It's obvious in studying history that man is a violent creature, taking what he wants by force. But religion is supposed to calm those violent urges and provide people with a moral backbone.
It seems that those concepts are often forgotten in our world, and Jerusalem is no exception.
Whatever happened to concepts such as love thy neighbor and thou shalt not kill?
From the beginning of the Common Era, religion has been a hotly contested issue in Jerusalem. The Jews were forced to leave their holy city in C.E. 70 after the Romans looted and burned the city, destroying the Second Temple in the process.
One thousand years later, the Crusaders came to "liberate" Jerusalem from the "infidels" and claim the area for Christianity.
Invoking the name of God, they brutally slaughtered those in their path.
Jerusalem continued to be a hotbed of activity — often violent — throughout history and is still plagued by unrest between Arabs and Israelis today.
Even when religion isn't causing death, it is still creating divisions between people who think that since their beliefs are different, they must not have anything in common.
In his published diary, "Such Am I, O World," the Palestinian writer Khalil al-Sakakini recounts how he hid an American Jew during World War I when all Americans were ordered to report to the Ottoman government. The Jewish man ate only kosher food and arranged to have a woman bring this food to his hiding place.
This resulted in his being found and both men being arrested.
al-Sakakini wrote: "If you thought our food was so impure, then we must be impure too, because we eat impure things. So how could you take refuge with us? Oh religions! Oh
foolish minds, rather! How you've made humanity suffer! How many victims have you claimed?"
Even in the United States, we suffer the effects of religious hatred. In our country.
there is separation of church and state, and citizens are supposed to be allowed to practice in peace.
However, in recent weeks, people died at the hands of a white supremacist church member.
This summer in Israel, I have prayed at the Western Wall. I have watched Christians walk down the Via

Dolorosa, following the path of Jesus on his way to crucifixion. I have heard the Muslim call to prayer reverberate throughout the city.
Through all this, I have marveled at the wonder that is faith in God. But when I remember the killing, the hatred caused by religious differences, I wonder what went wrong that we humans have taken something so beautiful and so often twisted it into something so ugly and wrong.

Resendez-Ramirez corralled at last
Implicated in eight murders the fugitive gave himself up
The Associated Press
EL PASO, Texas — Rafael Resendez-Ramirez,
the train-riding fugitive suspected of killing
eight people, surrendered at a border check-
point yesterday in a deal brokered by his sister.
The 39-year-old drifter, who is charged or wanted for questioning in the slayings in three states and was on the FBI's 10 Most Wanted Fugitives List, surrendered at the Ysleta port of entry to Texas Rangers Sgt. Drew Carter, state investigators said.
"Carter told me that he extended his hand, they shook hands, and they handcuffed him. He was very pleasant, not aggressive," said state Department of Public Safety Capt. Bruce Castele.
He said he didn't know how long Resendez-
Ramirez had been in Mexico.
He appeared briefly before a magistrate, saying only "no, sir" twice when asked if he had questions. The suspect was escorted into the courtroom in handcuffs and a chain around his waist.
The surrender agreement with Resendez Ramirez included assurances of family visitation rights, a psychological evaluation and promises that he would be safe in Jail, Casteel said.
However, it does not shield Resendez-Ramirez from the death penalty, he said.
The suspect's real name is Angel Leonco Reyes Recendis, according to a birth certificate, but authorities had been using the name Resendez-Ramirez, one of his aliases.
Ramirez's sister, who lives in Albuquerque, N.M., called Carter on Sunday while he was on a fishing trip and said she had been in touch with her brother through an intermediary, said Mike Cox, state Department of Public Safety spokesman.
Carter, an FBI agent and a deputy U.S. marshal, met with her Sunday night and Monday to negotiate the surrender on a burglary warrant related to one of the slayings.
Ressendez-Ramirez's ability to elude officials had been an embarrassment to law enforcement. On June 2, he was released by Border Patrol agents, even though he was already wanted by the FBI. Houston police told the immigration service they wanted him for questioning in a murder. Border Patrol agents had picked him up for illegal entry and sent him
back to Mexico.
But Immigration Commissioner Doris Melssner said the Immigration and Naturalization Service, parent of the Border Patrol, had multiple entries on Resendez-Ramirez in a computerized photo and fingerprint database that provides immediate identification of aliens apprehended by the Border Patrol.
The Immigration and Naturalization Service first encountered Resendez-Ramirez in 1976 after he was arrested in Michigan. He was returned to Mexico, but since then, he has been deported from the United States three times — in 1985, 1987 and 1991. He also was apprehended by Border Patrol agents eight times since January 1998.
Two days after that release, he allegedly killed a 73-year-old woman west of Houston. The following day, authorities believe he killed a 26-year-old Houston schoolteacher at her home. His fingerprints also were found June 15 in Gorham, III., at the murder scene of a 79-year-old man and his 51-year-old daughter.
Meissner said the Justice Department inspector general should look at why Resendez-Ramirez was not detained and whether INS knew about Resendez-Ramirez's criminal activities after being contacted by local law enforcement earlier this year.
Kansas governor may propose budget cut
TOPEKA — Gov. Bill Graves is preparing to propose budget cuts next year, and his staff has told agencies to find ways to reduce spending by 6 percent.
The Associated Press
Graves and his staff are in the early stages of drafting a proposed budget for the state's 2001 fiscal year, which doesn't begin until July 1, 2000. Therefore, cuts are far from certain.
However, the state finished its 1999 fiscal year on June 30 with $70 million less in tax revenues for its general fund than expected. Directions from the Budget Division to executive branch agencies are a sign that the Graves administration doesn't expect a dramatic improvement.
spending.
"We think it's only prudent for state agencies to anticipate that there could be some belt-tightening," Graves said during a recent interview.
The decision by Graves' staff to tell agencies to propose spending cuts is likely to kick off an early debate among legislators about the budget and where to reduce
Legislators ended their 1999 session amidst speculation that the state would not have extra revenue for new programs or significant tax cuts in 2000. None of them had talked about significant cuts.
"It's an eye-opener, isn't it?" said Senate Majority Leader Tim Emert, R-Independence. "I hope the budget people are overdramatizing the situation just to be cautious."
"It seems a little drastic for a reaction right now. We're still going to have to see where we are on income and revenue for the state of Kansas before we start looking at cutting budgets," said House Minority Leader Jim Garner, D-Coffeville.
"This state has survived tight budget years before, and we'll survive this one," said House Majority Leader Kent Glasscock, R-Manhattan.
During the 1980s, revenue short falls automatically triggered talk of proposed tax increases to finance government services. However, the 1990s saw the rise of
"A tax increase would be the farther thing from my mind," said House Speaker Robin Jennison, R-Healy. "I think that we ought to be able to find the room (for spending cuts)."
conservative Republicans who believed government was too big and it needed to be reduced.
The Budget Division told agencies to prepare three budget proposals. The first was a reduced resources budget, the one under which agencies are supposed to find 6 percent to cut. Agencies also must submit a current resources budget, and a budget with new and expanded programs.
The agencies are supposed to respond to the Budget Division by Sept. 15. Graves won't make his final decisions until late November or early December.
The governor noted the state has had five financially good years in which he and the Legislature could deliver both spending increases and significant tax cuts.
"It's possible that fiscal year 2001 budget will be sort of a timeout budget," Graves said.
Senate President Dick Bond said the Budget Division's directions are prudent.
"At this point, you have to anticipate that we'll be cutting budgets during the 2000 session," said Bond, R-Overland Park.
When the state finished its 1999 budget year with $70 million less than expected in tax revenues for its general fund, most of the shortfall was in individual income tax collections. The general fund is the single largest source of money for state government programs, and it is where the state deposits most of its tax revenues.
Officials, including Budget Director Duane Goossen, believe the state overestimated income growth, and underestimated the effects of tax cuts enacted in 1998.
That assessment and talk of budgget cuts are likely to cause some legislators, agency managers, and interest groups to ask whether the state was too aggressive in cutting taxes in 1995-98.
But Jennison said, "You know as I well as I do, if we wouldn't have reduced the taxes, we'd have spent the money."
Murder charges filed for ValuJet airplane crash
The Associated Press
It was not clear what penalties the company, SabreTech Inc., would face if convicted.
MIAMI — The airline maintenance company that packaged the oxygen canisters blamed for the 1996 ValuJet crash that killed 110 people in the Florida Everglades was charged with murder and manslaughter yesterday.
Federal indictments were also expected yesterday naming SabreTech employees involved in the packaging of the illegal cargo, Justice Department sources told The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity.
It is believed to be the first time in U.S. aviation history that criminal charges were filed against maintenance workers after an accidenta
airplane crash, said Mike Boyd, president of the Evergreen, Colo-based Mike Boyd Group, which researches aviation issues.
SabreTech said prosecutors ignored findings that the accident was caused by mistakes by ValuJet, SabreTech and the Federal Aviation Administration.
"We are not going to stand idly by and be made a criminal scapegoat for this tragedy," said Kenneth Quinn, attorney for SabreTech. "This was an horrific accident, not a crime."
Murder or manslaughter charges against corporations are extremely rare. In a 1985 Illinois case, two corporations were found guilty of involuntary manslaughter and reckless conduct in the cyanide death of a worker. Three former executives
also were found guilty of murder.
The third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter charges brought against SabreTech do not require proof of premeditation or intent.
Flames from a cargo fire burned inside the floor of the passenger cabin shortly after takeoff on a Miami-to-Atlanta flight on May 11, 1996. The DC-9 plunged into the Everglades, virtually obliterating the aircraft and killing 105 passengers and five crew members.
Crash investigators found that workers for SabreTec, ValuJet's maintenance contractor, improperly packaged the oxygen canisters that were loaded into the jetliner's cargo hold.
A cockpit voice tape made in the flight's final minutes recorded
sounds of shouting from the passenger cabin, including a man saying, "We're on fire. We're on fire." The pilot told the airport control tower, "We need to go back to Miami," and a flight attendant said, "We need oxygen. We can't get oxygen back there."
The National Transportation Safety Board investigation spread the blame among SabreTech, ValuJet and the FAA for lax oversight.
Relatives of the victims pushed for criminal charges against SabreTech and ValuJet executives, complaining that too much time had passed without action.
The FAA has proposed a record fine of $2.25 million against SabreTech for improperly handling the canisters. The company is challenging the fine.

KU sci-fi writer ponders future
Jupiter, Saturn Mars could be next frontier
By Lisa John
By Lisa John
Kansan managing editor
Science fiction writers may be visionaries, but they don't try to predict the future, said James Gunn, professor emeritus of English and author of 34 science fiction books.
A Star Trek coffee mug in his hand, Gunn leaned back in a chair in his crowded, windowless and book-filled office on the third floor of Wescoe Hall, contemplating the role of science fiction writers. He chuckled, then said that fellow science fiction author Ray Bradbury said his goal was not to predict the future, but to prevent it.
"What we're really interested in are the speculative possibilities that lie in front of us and in exploring these for entertainment, but entertainment that has a solid base in scientific reality and probability." Gunn said. "And every once in a while, something happens to come true in a way that we imagined it."
One such instance was man's first step on the moon 30 years ago. Gunn said that step was a great event for him, almost as great a moment as when his first story was dramatized on television in 1959.
"The story was called "The Cave of Night" but was dramatized on television under the title of Man in Orbit," Gunn said. "It was about the first man in space, so 10 years later, in 1969, people landed on the moon, so it didn't take very long after I had imagined it."
But again, Gunn stressed, science fiction writers are not in the business of being prophets.
Gunn said Campbell meant that certain things that are going to happen are irreversible.
Gunn likened this to a para chute iump.
"We're in the business of thinking, of creating thought experiments. In fact, John Campbell once said that science fiction is a way of practicing in a no-practice area."
"One very prominent example is an atomic war, which science fiction imagined long before it ever became a reality or a near reality," Gunn said. Gunn likened this to a para-
"We have to be perfect the first time. We need to anticipate how things are going to come out," he said. "Some of this entails imagining events that haven't happened yet and seeing what might be the results."
As for that ever-looming future, what will the world be like in 20 years?
"Different," Gunn answered in an atypical (for him) one-word answer.
Then the familiar chuckle and smile again before he said he couldn't make predictions, but he could make guesses. Some of these guesses reflect Gunn's favorite science fiction quote from a book by Robert Heinlein. "This world's used up — let's go find another one."
Gunn: writers don't predict future; they create possibilities.
"Well, certainly in 10 years we should have landed on Mars," Gunn said. "We might even be able to send manned expeditions as far as Jupiter or even Saturn. Maybe we'll be exploring the moons of Jupiter or Saturn."
Closer to home, Gunn said, "I think we'll find new ways of creating energy and food and new medical techniques for extending life and improving health.
A. H.
"I hope we find new methods for distributing wealth and eliminating poverty and, most of all, improving education so that people can appreciate the wonders around them."
Part of the
process of improving education is making people aware that the world is not static. Gunn said.
"The one true thing you can say about the world today is that it's changing. And people not only need to accept this, they need to think about it. That's what science fiction does," Gunn said. "It helps people think about change and not to be terrified of it or paralyzed by it, but to be able to deal with it in a sensible and mature way."
And will books remain a part of this scenario?
Gunn, whose own journey into science fiction began at age 7 when he discovered a copy of Edgar Rice Burroughs' "Tarzan" in his grandmother's closet, said he does not envision a world without book
"But I think there will be some competition. Clearly, the Internet and the computer compete for reading time, and we may well reproduce books in electronic formats if certain technological hangups can be solved." Gunn said.
He mentioned the electronic books that are coming onto the market.
"I don't know that they have yet reached a stage where they really compete in terms of availability and handiness, but they will," Gunn said.
"It doesn't really matter. The important thing is the ability to read anything and to use the words to create images in the head rather than depending upon those that are thrown up on a screen for us."

Stellar writers honored at conference
By Stephanie McCarty Kansan staff reporter
Winners of the John W. Campbell Award and the Theodore Sturgeon Award rose proudly in the presence of about 60 other authors as James Gunn, professor emeritus of English, announced their names at a semi-formal awards dinner Friday night.
the annual awards dinner, held at the Adams Alumni Center, honors the winners of the Campbell and Sturgeon Awards, as well as new inductees to the Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame. It also concludes the Writer's Workshop in Science Fiction and precedes the Campbell Conference and the Intensive English Institute on the Teaching of Science Fiction.
George Zebrowski won the Campbell Award for his science-fiction novel of the year, "Brute Orbits." The Campbell Award is one of three major annual awards in science fiction, along with the Hugo Award and the Nebula Award.
"Brute Orbits" is of a future in which asteroids have been drawn to near-Earth orbits, mined for their minerals, and then the hollowed-out interiors have been fitted out as prisons, filled with the Earth's criminals of all kinds, and sent on decades' long orbits, some beyond the farthest planet in the solar system," said Gunn, Director of the Center for the Study of Science Fiction at the University of Kansas.
The group of authors applauded Zebrowski's acceptance speech in which he recollected a memory of speaking
with Campbell before his death.
when he came.
"I still thank you, Mr. Campbell," Zebrowski said. "And I thank all of you again from the place with the most clichés, the bottom of my heart."
"Science fiction is the literature of change," Gunn said. "It deals with how people respond to the social change created by changes in science and technology or the large or small natural processes of the universe."
Before Gunn, who is also the chairman of the Sturgeon Award Committee, presented the award, he explained the meaning of the sculptural shape of the award.
Ted Chiang won the Sturgeon Award for the best short science fiction story of the year for "Story of Your Life."
As Chiang clutched the award, he said, "When I wrote it, I didn't know if people would get it. So thank you, it's very gratifying."
Both the Campbell and the Sturgeon Awards are jointly sponsored by the J. Wayne and Elsie M. Gunn Center for the Study of Science Fiction and by the Kansas City Science Fiction and Fantasy Society.
A seven-member international committee composed of writers and scholars chose the Campbell Award winner after extensive discussion.
The Sturgeon Award winner was chosen by a three-member committee from a group of seminalists selected by a group of 25 to 30 reviewers and editors.
with 10 to 11 finalists selected by one of Sturgeon's children. Robin Sturgeon selected them this year.
"Science fiction is a useful literature because it offers a way of experiencing change imaginatively before we have to experience it in real life, and we either become accustomed to change, and immunize ourselves against 'future shock,' or we can evaluate change and try to bring about those changes we find most conducive to the life that we value." Gunn said.
The four new members of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame are Jules Verne, A. Merritt, Robert Silverberg, and Ray Bradbury. Admission into the Hall of Fame is based on excellence and lifelong achievement.
Bradbury, author of "The Martian Chronicles" and "Fahrenheit 451," is one of the best-known authors in contemporary science fiction and fantasy. His work introduced multitudes of readers to the genre.
"Since Ray is vacationing in France, like he does every year in July. That must be tough luck," said Joe Haldeman, 1998 Campbell Award recipient, "I will accept him into the Hall of Fame."
In the novel competition, second place went to "Starfarers" by Poul Anderson, and third place went to "Distraction" by Bruce Sterling.
Second place in the short-story competition went to "Wading River Dogs and More" by Michael Kandel, and third place went to "The Summer Isles" by Ian R. MacLeod.

She has written more than two dozen books, has a new novel, "Find the Wind," on the market and is working on her next novel. In addition, Sargent has had more than 50 short stories published.
Sargent was at the University of Kansas last week to participate in the annual science fiction writers' conference.
Introducing her Thursday night at a gathering of science-fiction fans in Smith Hall, James Gunn, professor emeritus of English and fellow science fiction writer, said that he had only met Sargent a few times before.
"But I feel as if I have known her for a very long time because I have read her novels for a very long time," Gunn said.

Sargent published her first story in 1970, but she came to the attention of most readers of science fiction in 1975 with a series of anthologies devoted to science fiction of
Most science fiction readers are aware of Sargent's first feminist novel, "The Shore of Women," and with her epic trilogy which began with "Venus of Dreams," published in 1986. More recently, she has published a historical novel about Genghis Khan, a recent novel about AIDS and a short story titled, "Danny Goes to Mars," he said.
"Danny" refers to Dan Quayle, and in the story he's the first man to go the red planet, he said.
Sargent said she is working on a similar story, "Hillary Goes to Venus."
"At 16, Hillary Rodham wrote to NASA and asked what she should study so she could become an astronaut," Sargent said. "They told her that no women need apply. So my story is about what might have happened if they had encouraged her."
Today, Sargent is becoming known for her writing of science-fiction women and alternative history.
"Alternative history was once only a small part of science fiction," Sargent said. "Now it has become a thriving sub-genre of its own."
Sargent said that an alternative history is a description of a historical "what if?" such as, "What if the Nazis had won World War II?" or "What if the Confederates had won the Civil War?"
Her first full-length exploration
into alternative history is the novel, "Find the Wind," which asks the question, "What would have happened if there had been Native Americans in the West who could have brought the nation together?"
In comparing alternative history to history, Sargent said that alternative history was likely to appeal to a wider audience. It would probably be easier to find a publisher for alternative history, and it allowed the writer to put fantastic elements into the history.
To do this, she said, a writer needs
to know history. This is not about totally revamping a historical event.
"Rather it's seeing how radical a change in history you can produce by changing a few small events." Sargent said.
Contrary to what some people might think, she said, there are rules to writing alternative history, and she likened the craft to the game of tennis.
"It's not like playing with the net down," she said.

Architect captures'40s Kansas in mini form
The Associated Press
DONORA, Pa. — Tom Nichols has an eye for detail as keen as any landscape architect, but he's more likely to pick up a pair of tweezers than hedge clippers any day.
Nichels, who builds miniature landscapes, battlefields and towns for museums, is finishing a job for the Exploration Place science and children's museum in Wichita, Kan.
The 49-foot-by-30-foot model of a Kansas landscape during the 1940s will be separated into 45 pieces and shipped to Wichita in September in a refrigerated truck that will spare the tiny wax trees from melting. Nichols will spend about six months in Wichita setting it up.
Nichols and Al DeSena, president of the Wichita museum, both worked for the Carnegie Science Center in Pittsburgh and knew one another.
He started working on the Kansas model in 1995 and drove across the state from Denver to Kansas City to research the project. One-third of Kansas' 105 counties will be represented in the $500,000 platform.
"When I had the first conversation about the project, I said, 'It should be easy because there are no trees in Kansas,' "Nichols said at his shop at an industrial park in Donora, about 30 miles south of Pittsburgh.
Nichols farmed out some of the work to expert model builders around the country. A woman in Washington County made a farm, and a craftsman in Kentucky made a bridge. Nichols and his wife also made many of the buildings.
The setting is Kansas in early summer, just before the wheat harvest.
"We wanted to go back about 50 years. The baby boomers from that era are now grandparents. They can relate to the '40s with their children and grandchildren," Nichols said.
Detail on Nichols' buildings includes the lace curtains inside the windows. He works 12 hours a day and shows some of the results off at his internet site, www.minidisplay.com.
"It culminates everything I have ever been interested in — architecture, history, culture. We're able to do scenery and animation, whether you want a historical battlefield or a golf course," he said.
Marijuana linked to other drug use
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Young people who smoke marijuana are far more likely than nonusers to move on to harder drugs, a substance abuse research group concludes in a report that opposes efforts to legalize or decriminalize nonmedical marijuana.
"Teen experimentation with marijuana should not be considered a casual rite of passage," said Joseph Califano, chairman and president of the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University.
"Teens who smoke marijuana are playing a dangerous game of Russian roulette," he said.
The center's report was released as the House Government Reform Committee
held a second hearing yesterday on the pros and cons of decriminalizing drugs. Testifying were former Drug Enforcement Administration head Thomas Constantine and advocates of relaxed laws on marijuana use.
"Marijuana stands convicted as a gateway drug," Califano said, citing conclusions in the report that youngsters 12 to 17 years old who smoke marijuana are 85 times more likely to use cocaine than those who do not.
Other studies have drawn different conclusions about the link between marijuana and more potent drugs. The National Institute of Medicine, in a study last March on the medical uses of marijuana, said that while the drug can cause respiratory disease, there is no evidence that it leads to other drug use.
The Califano report, which focuses on nonmedical use of marijuana, said the drug is especially dangerous for teens, impairing short-term memory, stunting intellectual and emotional growth and increasing the likelihood of unprotected sex, as well as leading to the use of other drugs such as cocaine or heroin.
It said that of 182,000 teens and children who entered treatment in 1996 for substance abuse, nearly half. 48 percent, were admitted for marijuana abuse or addiction.
That compared to 19 percent for alcohol and a secondary drug, 12 percent for alcohol alone, 3 percent for smoked cocaine, 2.4 percent for methamphetamines and 2.3 percent for heroin.
The report concluded that the legalization of marijuana would surely increase use among teen-agers and children. But it also opposed mandatory sentences for possession of small amounts of marijuana, saying prosecutors and judges should be given wide discretion in order to encourage teens to stop using the drug.
"Mandatory sentences are particularly insidious where teens convicted of possession of marijuana are concerned," Califano said.
The report said that 70 million Americans have tried marijuana, making it the nation's most commonly used illegal substance. In 1998, almost 23 percent of 12th graders said they had smoked marijuana within the past month, and just under one-half had tried marijuana during their lives.
Congress debates high-tech exports
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Easing export controls on powerful data and voice-scrambling technology will hamper efforts to track down terrorists and other criminals, the nation's top two law enforcement officials told Congress.
Attorney General Janet Reno and FBI Director Louis Freeh registered Clinton administration objections to encryption-decontrol legislation that is widely supported by high-tech companies.
They said increasing numbers of terrorist groups, drug traffickers, child pornographers and financial criminals already are using the scrambling technology to avoid detection and frustrate prosecution.
Any further easing of restrictions will make U.S. made encryption products
all the more available and will be devastating to law enforcement and damage national security, Freeh told the House Armed Services Committee.
It would also reduce any incentive for the industry voluntarily to develop technology both to protect electronic commerce and to give law enforcement a "key" to unscramble the information with a court's approval, Freah said.
"Terrorists are now actually using encryption, which means that in the future we may wiretap a conversation in which the terrorists discuss the location of a bomb soon to go off, but we will be unable to prevent the terrorist act because we cannot understand the conversation," Reno said.
High-tech industry officials said encryption is important to the future of
worldwide networking and is already widely available outside the United States. It is a vital element in protecting business dealings, retail transactions on the Internet and the privacy of e-mail, the officials said.
"Overly restrictive controls will either stall the networking market or create a major market advantage for foreign competitors," Elizabeth Kaufman, a Cisco Systems executive, told the committee.
She said that even with the decontrol legislation, industry was willing to work with government on a way to give law enforcement access to unscrambled data without compromising the customer's security.
Rep. Floyd Spence, R-S.C., the committee chairman, opposed lifting current restrictions on encryption exports. He said that the legislation also could put the
nation's military at greater risk.
But Rep. Ike Skelton of Missouri, the panel's senior Democrat, said it was a matter of seeking the right balance between protecting electronic privacy and recognizing legitimate law enforcement and national security needs.
"It would be both tragically ironic and unconscionable for Congress to make it easier for an adversary to do harm to Americans; at the same time, we are working as a government to improve security for Americans all over the world," Spence said.
The legislation, by Rep Robert Goodlatte, R-Va., has been referred to four separate House committees. A Senate version by Commerce Committee Chairman John McCain, R-Ariz., is advancing through the Senate.

Weekend of beer, traffic fun for editor
Don't mess with Texas. Specifically, don't mess with traffic on highways surrounding Dallas, Houston and Beaumont. Texas.
That's what I learned from four days of vacation, from more than 24 hours of driving and from too much food, drink and lots of reminiscing with college friends.
Last week, when Michael Weishaar — my best friend from my undergraduate years — and Left Kansas City, Mo., we had a destina
Here's a synopsis of our road trip, a drive to Bemont to attend a friend's wedding.
meandering journey to parts yet unknown
— is to alternate driving (behind the wheel) and sleeping (passenger seat) until we reach Houston. We're meeting Beth, Mike's wife, at her parents' home.
Matthew Friedrichs
By 4:30 a.m., I-35 is a blur to our sleep-
heavy eyes, and we stop at a rest stop south of Wichita to sleep.
Friday, July 9
George Benson, Beth's dad, grills some steaks for dinner, and we meet four of our friends who are already in Houston at a local bar.
I wake up at 6 a.m. and we take turns driving hour-and-a-half stints. The traffic increases as we near Dallas, and by early afternoon, Mike and I agree that some drivers don't understand the signs that say "Slower traffic keep right."
In Beaumont we witness our first accident while trying to get to our motel.
We leave for Beaumont, about 50 miles east of Houston, at about 3 p.m., but we have to pick up two guys who are flying into Houston for the wedding.
Mike and I grab some chilidogs at James Coney Island — never pass on the opportunity to grab a hotdog at a local landmark Beth safely navigates downtown traffic on the way to the airport.
On the drive to the rehearsal dinner, our jaws drop looking at a car wrapped around our exit sign.
The rehearsal dinner is a great chance to swap stories with our friends — 11 roommates from 1991 to 1995 at the University of Kansas.
We adjourn to the Handlebar, a local bar, and pay $3 to have our ears assaulted by one of the worst bands ever assembled.
Todd, the groom, and four other guys end the evening with syrup, greasy bacon and funny paper hats at the Waffle House.
Saturday, July 10
The guys meet in the morning to play basketball. I score on my only shot despite being short, out-of-shape and recovering from a broken hand.
14 p.m. the wedding goes off as scheduled.
We eat and drink some more at the reception, held at an art museum downtown.
For the third night in a row — this is much harder because I'm not in prime undergraduate social shape — we stop at a bar. The icehouse is a corrugated tin building with a concrete floor, a huge bar, a shuffleboard, several dartboards, foosball, peanut shells on the floor, loud music and best of all, cheap drinks.
The night ends with breakfast —although no paper hats this time —at IHOP.
Sunday, July 11
Friedrichs is a Bremen graduate student in journalism.
We leave Beaumont at 8:10 a.m. and avoid most of the annoying traffic we battled on the way to Texas by following non-interstate highways until we get on U.S. 69 in Oklahoma.
Beth makes fun of Mike for locking the doors of the car an hour after he started driving. I miss the sign for U.S. 69 in Miami, Okla., and take us on a 15-minute detour. Mike comments on the prolific road-side junk dealers.
Sunday evening we arrive in Kansas City, needing another day of vacation to recover. Final cost of trip: $35 for motel room, $50 for gas and $115 for food and beer, $35,000 for the heart by-pass surgery.
Authors put pen to the road
8y Katie Burford
Kansan campus editor
The road's power to make travelers look at life from a different perspective has inspired numerous authors to capture these experiences on paper. The following are road lit classics:
"On the Road" by Jack Kerouac
While this book may be credited with defining the Beat generation, it's longer-lasting influence will be on the generations of youngsters it sets to wandering.
In a recent issue of *Rolling Stone*, Johnny Dewp wrote of the book's impact on him: "I was not going to be doing other people's taxes and going home as 5:37 pm, to pat my dog's head and sit down to my one-meat and two vegetable table, wailing for Jeopardy to pop on the glass tix, the Pat Salak of my own private game show, in the bellybutton of the universe, Miramar, Florida. A beautiful life to be sure, but one I knew I was destined not to have, thanks to my big brother Jim and
the French-Canadian with the
"Neither Here Nor There: Travels in Europe" by Bill Bryson Bryson repeats a trek of Europe that he made in his early 20s, making riotously funny observations along the way. Take, for example, his observation that Dutch sounds like a peculiar version of English.
"It was disconcerting. I found this again when I presented myself at a small hotel on the Prinsengracht and asked the kind-faced proprietor if he had a single room. 'Oh, I don't believe so,' he said, 'but let me check with my wife.' He thrust his head through a doorway of beaded curtains and called: 'Marta, what stirs in you leggings? Are you most moist?' From the book's pages hallowed:
From the back a voice bellowed:
'No, but I tingle when I squirt.'
'Are you of assorted odors?'
Hail them!
'Yes, of beans and sputum.'
'And what of your pits—do they exude sweetness?'
'Truly.'
'Shell I suckle them at eventide?'
'Most beattly!'
'A small of petroleum prevails throughout,' I said by way of thanks, and departed."
He returned to me wearing a sad look. 'I'm sorry, I thought there might have been a cancellation, but unfortunately no.'
"Into the Wild" by Jon Krakauer
McCandless' story begins when the recent graduate of Emery University in Atlanta and former editor of his school's paper sends his parents a copy of his transcript (he received mostly A's) and a cursory note. This was the last his parents ever heard from him. Using McCandless' journal and the recollections of people he encountered, Krakuer planned together the young
"Into the Wife" by Jon Krakauer, of "Into Thin Air" fame, wrote an article about the mysterious death of Chris McCandless in the Alaskan wilderness for *Outside* magazine in January 1993. The story so intrigued him that he decided to retrace McCandless' steps and write a book about it.
man's two-year journey that took him zigzagging across the United States and ended with
his tragic death.
The question is whether it was his idealism or the wilderness that killed him.
The Che Guevara that would one day become a leader in the Cuban revolutionary movement was born on this journey, which began Jan. 4, 1951, in Buenos Aires, Argentina and ended July 26, 1952, in Caracas, Venezuela.
"The Motorcycle Diaries: A Journey Around South America" by Ernesto Che Guevara.
Guevara, 23 at the time, and friend Alberto Granado, both trained physicians, decided on a whim to make the journey as Granado was tinkering with his motorcycle, La Pedrosa.
"That's how the trip came about." Guvara wrote, "and it never devised from the general principle laid down then;
improvisation."
The Guvara of "Motorcycle Dairies" was tagged by The Washington Post as "a Latin James Dean or Jack Kerouac." Time observed that "by the end of the journey, a politicized Guvara has emerged to predict his own legendary future."
future."
INTO THE WILD
Since 1927, the Wilderness Movement has been a key force in conservation efforts in North America. The movement seeks to protect the wilderness from human disturbance and preserve its natural beauty. It advocates for increased public awareness of the importance of the wilderness and encourages people to adopt responsible behaviors such as avoiding unnecessary travel, minimizing waste, and respecting wildlife habitats.
The Wilderness Movement is also known as the Conservation Movement. This organization was founded in 1927 by Charles D. Dodge, a pioneer in conservation law and practice. The movement emphasizes the need for environmental protection and the recognition of the importance of preserving the natural world.
In recent years, the Wilderness Movement has grown significantly, with more than 30,000 members worldwide. It continues to work tirelessly to protect the wilderness and promote conservation efforts around the globe.

PRESENTING
---
A road trip is not defined by distance, but rather mentality. All one needs do is embrace the unexpected. Some of the best moments—and most keen revelations of my life—have come on the open road.
For me, the trip started when I was 2 years old — I remember it like it was yesterday. We were living on a military base in Montana, where I was born.
My recollection is like a still photograph in my mind. In the foreground, I am sitting on the floor playing with some coins. In the background, people are busting about, carrying boxes and other large items. An air of excitement, edged with apprehension fills the room.
That is all.
My next memory
Katie Burford
Kansam campus editor
is in a different
place with different scenery. Neither frightening nor remarkable, it was just different. There were mountains; I was in Colorado. Furred!
eventually my family landed in Oklahoma, and my teen-age
years were spent in suburban purgatory. But come graduation day, my life became my own, and I was on the road again.
A decade later, the motion has not ceased. Nor will it. Until I choose. The open road, though, is not always the easy road. Tires go flat, the food is bad, hotel rooms are raunchy, your travel companion is annoying and drives like hell, and so on. Leaving home means opening yourself up to all sorts of mishaps.
But it can yield the most divine pleasures.

A rambling railroad journey redefines freedom
By Lisa John
Kansan manaina editor
Once a hobo, not always a hobo.
When John Reimringer gets into a car, he fastens his seat belt. Next, he locks all the doors. These are not the habits one would expect from a man who, 15 years ago, spent his KU spring break hopping freight trains.
Today, Reimringer is hesitant to share the details of his journey. For one thing, he is working toward a master's of fine arts degree in creative writing, and this is a story he would like to work up into fiction sometime. For another, he doesn't recommend that anyone hop freights.
That's what his parents told him when he called home and told them his plans in the spring of 1984.
"It's a good way to get killed," he said.

G1018
"They weren't too happy about it," he said. "But I figured that if I got killed, they'd want to know. If I had told them I was going to Daytona Beach and then they found out I got killed on a freight train in New Mexico, it would have been a shock."
John Reimringer stands next to a freight train in North Lawrence the closest, he said, he has been to a freight train in 15 years. In 1984, Reimringer and another KU student spent their spring break hauling freight trains from Topeka to Texas.

But the burning question is, When there was the alternative to spend spring break in a college mecca on the beach, why would anyone choose to hon freights?
"A friend of mine from the dorm had done it before, and I'd read about it, and I was reading Jack Kerouac at the time—so it sounded like a fun thing to do," Reimringer said.
In fact, the 22-year old Reimringer had been reading "The Dharma Bums," a Kerouac story that begins with Ray Smith bumming a ride on a freight train.
"I just wanted to travel and get out of Kansas," he said. But in his own way,
He and a fellow University of Kansas student, Jonathan Lee, who had experience hopping freights in Nebraska, packed old blankets and old clothes in army-surplus packs and, on a cold
spring night, headed for the Topeka railroad yards
"We had set our destination as Alamogordo, New Mexico, where my friend had been born." Reimringer said. "So we spent a long night walking around the yards, asking people who work there where the trains were going."
After finding no luck at the Union Pacific lines, they walked to the Cotton Belt vards, south of the river.
"It was four in the morning; we were cold and tired," he said. "We went up and knocked on the door of the yard office. We'd checked to make sure there weren't any railroad detectives around. These guys in the yard office recognized us at once as college students out for kicks — we were trying to act like we were hardened bums. But they looked at us and said, 'Y'all wouldn't happen to be college boys, now would you?' Reimringer said he and Lee had told them where they wanted to go.
"They checked a computer printout and said, 'We've got a freight coming in that will be in about 20 minutes, and it will slow down when it comes over the Kansas River trestle, and you guys can hop on it there—but be careful.'" he said.
They told Reimringer and Lee that there would be some grain cars near the front of the train that they could get on. The young men checked out the area, looking for obstacles along the track.
"We were also thinking, 'If I fall when climbing on board, I'm going to push myself away from the train,'" he said. The moment arrived.

Ventura returns to ring, scoffs at naysayers

ST, PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Gov. Jesse Ventura defended his return to professional wrestling Tuesday, insisting he's entitled to a life outside politics.
"If I were a nightclub singer in Caesars Palace, would you ask the same question?" he asked.
Whether he will wrestle or referee is a secret for now. The sold-out event is scheduled for the Target Center in Minneapolis.
Ventura bristled when asked whether his renewed ties to the World Wrestling Federation threatened the dignity of the governor's office.
Malone's agent, Dwight Manley bought the court — baskets and all where Jordan hit his final shot for an undisclosed price. The plan is to have the floor broken up into segments and auctioned off by the man who handled the auction of Mark McGwire's 70th home run ball.
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — The floor where Karl Malone dominated the paint, and Michael Jordan made history when he bid farewell is up for grabs. Part of it anyway.
The governor, who wrestled professionally as Jesse "The Body" Ventura until retiring in 1986, scheduled a news conference Wednesday with the World Wrestling Federation. He plans to participate Aug. 22 in the WWF's $29.95 pay-per-view "SummerSlam" event.
Jordan may deliver more than 'Mailman'
Even though it was the Utah Jazz home court, it was the scene of what has been called Jordan's defining moment: when the greatest player ever stab-stepped right, buckled Bryan Russell's knees, and elevated to drill a 1.7-footer with a typical Jordan flourish.
The shot clinched his sixth NBA. Six months later, he hung up his Air Jordans for good.

Movie blasts on to the scene with a Kansas connection
The thriller *Arlington Road* chronicles college professor Michael Faraday's (Jeff Bridges) intense, edge-of-your-seat journey into a shadowy world to expose a right-wing group's lethal conspiracy. Contributed photo
PETER RUSHMORE
By Lisa John
Kanson managing editor
Arlington Road may be where the action begins in this new summer suspense film, but it's not where it ends.
While driving home in a suburb of Washington, D.C., Michael Faraday (Jeff Bridges) sees an injured boy walking down the street. Without even knowing the boy's name or where he lives, Michael picks up the child and rushes him to the hospital.
It turns out that the boy, Brady Lang (Mason Gamble), has lived across the street from Faraday for two months. Michael first meets Brady's parents, Oliver and Cheryl Lang (Tim Robbins and Joan Cusack), in the hospital waiting room where they effusively thank him for helping their son. They explain, though not too believably, that Brady was injured while playing with fireworks.
After Brady returns home from the hospital a few days later, the Langs are hosts of a party at which Michael learns that Oliver grew up on a farm near Carson, Kan. At this point, Oliver speaks the all-too-familiar line, "Toto, we're not in Kansas anymore."
Kansas, indeed. Let's hope that Kansans don't treat their neighbors the way that the Langs treat Michael.
The Langs buddy up to Michael as if they're long-lost friends, and Michael is vulnerable because he continues to grieve the death of his wife, an FBI agent who was killed three years earlier in a gunfight.
Michael's son, Grant (Spencer Treat Clark), and Brady become best friends. In fact, Grant wants to spend so much time at the Langs' home that Michael feels he has lost control of his son.
Cheryl is the suburban housewife with all the charm of a Stepford wife. Meanwhile,
Michael has a new woman in his life, Hope Davis (Brooke Wolfe), a former college student at George Washington University who took the course Michael teaches about domestic terrorism.
Michael learns that Oliver is an architect working on an addition to a shopping mall, but the blueprint that Michael sees in Oliver's house looks more like a federal building than a mall. Further, when Michael accidentally receives his neighbor's mail, he begins to doubt that Oliver is who he says he is.
Michael begins snooping on his neighbor, even going so far as to request college transcripts and a yearbook from Oliver's alma mater, Kansas State University.
Not only does he learn that "Oliver" was not his neighbor's given name, but, in researching microfilm copies of The Kansas City Star, Michael learns that at 16. Oliver was arrested for showing up at a federal office building in Wichita with a pipe bomb. Oliver made the bomb after his father's farm dried up because the government appropriated water rights from the stream that ran through it.
And so goes the fateful struggle between two men — Michael doggedly obsessed with turning up stones in Oliver's life, and Oliver portraying himself as the squeaky-clean, all-American family man. They are on to each other, but will the right man prevail? And who else will be involved?
About the only loose end of the movie is that Michael's son has gone for a 10-day stay at a wilderness summer camp with Oliver's son. My question is why, when Michael suspected that Lang wasn't who or what he said he was, he allowed his son to leave in Oliver's van for camp? Really, if the son was so insistent on going somewhere, wouldn't a sensible father have looked up some old friends or relatives who live near Disneyland and sent the kid there instead?
All in all, Arlington Road is a thriller from beginning to end. And the end, of course, you just have to see for yourself.
Coastal punk hits high notes over soundtracks
Movie soundtracks usually come in two varieties: those that contain memorable songs that become indelibly associated with the movies (Big Chill, Pulp Fiction, Trainspotting) and aggressively mediocre albums with songs that are barely in the movie. If at all (Batman & Robin, Godzilla, Armageddon). This summer, many soundtracks are straddling the line.
Rated R. Running time: 117 minutes.
American Pie's soundtrack doesn't include either of the two obvious choices (Don McLean's song of the same name, or James's "Laid", which is prominent in the ad campaign) opting instead for modern rock's Class of 1999. Unfortunately, it's a pretty underachieving group of students.
Big names Third Eye Blind and Sugar Ray contribute their standard fare, filtered into the ska (hard-edged reggae) and metal categories respectively, while Dishwalla, Tonic and Goldfinger all valiantly try, with little success, to avoid one-hit-wonder status with their contributions. Also featured are previously released tracks from punk brats Blink 182, skra brats the Loose Nuts and 1999's "Most Likely to Wish They Were the Cherry Poppin' Daddies" winners, the Atomic Fireballs.
rere are a couple of strangely misplaced tracks, namely a duet between Semisonic's Dan Wilson and Bic Runga and Runga's own European hit "Sway," both seemingly far too sedate and reflective for their peers.
Then there is the bizarre case of Super Transatlantic, led by the former front man for Saigon Kick. Despite their worldly names, both bands are American, and Super Transatlantic's song "Super Down" is probably the most deserving of radio play out of the whole class.
radio pad.
Overall, most of these kids aren't bad (well, maybe the Atomic Fireballs and Tonic could use some detention), but they're just not applying themselves.
Easewhere on the radio dial, the music "inspired by" (i.e. not featured at all in) Wild Wild West is to urban music what American Pie is to modern rock. Will Smith's song has already saturated the media, and apparently hopes are that the second single on the soundtrack, "Ballamos," by Enrique Iglesias will follow in Smith's (or perhaps more specifically Ricky Martin's) footsteps.
Commentary
Despite having never appeared in Menudo, Igelsias is a big star outside of America, and Ricky Martin fans are likely to enjoy his soundtrack contribution. The rest of the songs on the Wild Wild West soundtrack are by relative newcomers to rap or R&B, such as Kel Spencer, Tatyana Ali and Breeze. None of them stand out.
Dr. Dre and Eminem contribute their enjoyably bizarre track, "Bad
P. MORGAN
Guys Always Die." one of the only tracks to achieve any real wild west feeling in their music. Between country-style choruses, name-checking the movie's characters and cribbing lines from fellow soundtrack performer Slick

Rick (whose song isn't at all western related, but it's OK because he's Slick Rick). Dre and Eminem manage to graft gangsta bravado and their love of "the chronic" into an old-west narrative that features some of Dr. Dre's finest crooning since the N.W.A. song "Automobile".
Both of these albums exist primarily to promote the movies of the same name. For those looking for a compilation with a stronger theme, Alternative Tentacles has re-released Not So Quiet on the Western Front, a compilation of punk bands from California and Arizona originally put out in 1982. Cramming 84 minutes and 47 bands onto one disc, Not So Quiet features not only punk legends like the Dead Kennedys, Flipper and 7 Seconds but also many bands not heard from since. All said, this re-release, accompanied by its extensive liner notes, is a compelling snapshot of the West Coast punk scene of the early '80s, which is often overlooked for the early New York or London scenes.
Eckert is a Towaco, N.J. junior in English.

Society and cultural reluctance keeps sex a subject in-the-closet
By Katie Burford
Kansan campus editor
Gore Vidal showed unparalleled acumen when he said in a 1979 Playboy article: "Today's Americans are in a state of terminal hysteria on the subject of sex in general, and of homosexuality in particular, because the owners of the country (buttressed by a religion that they have shrewdly adapted to their own ends) regard the family as their last means of control over those who work and consume."
Twenty years later, not much has changed.
Twenty years later, not much has changed. The book in which the Playboy article appeared, "Gore Vidal: Sexually Speaking, Collected Sex Writings," left me with the
impression that, when it comes to resolving our nation's sexual hang-ups, we have been treading water in a stagnant pool for the last 50-years.
I couldn't find any proof to the contrary when reading a recent Washington Post story about Washington, D.C. parents' indignation at finding that their middle-class.

middle-school-aged children were engaged in oral sex as a substitute for intercourse. I imagined Vidal shaking is head despondently, muttering, "Those parents just don't get it."
Vidal wrote, "Between the economics of the city and the taboos of the tribe, we have created a monstrous sexual ethic. Not to mention the most notorious paradox: It is not economically convenient for the adolescent to marry; it is not tribally correct for him to have sex outside of marriage.
In other words, give the kids a break. He most likely would have applauded the D.C. youngsters' ingeniousness in sidestepping society's tacit constraints on their sexual

awakening.
His premise is this: "For a ruling class to rule, there must be arbitrary prohibitions. Of all prohibitions, sexual taboos is the most useful because sex involves everyone," he wrote. "That is why we have allowed our governors to divide the population into two teams. One team is good, godly, straight; the other is evil, sick, vicious."
The philosophy is the common thread that runs through all of his essays, regardless of theme — feminism, pornography, literature — or publication — The New York Review of Books, The Nation, The Advocate.
From the book jacket we learn that Vidal was born in 1925 at the United States Military Academy, West Point. Vidal's essays tell little about his life other than that he was the grandson of an Oklahoma senator, and his father was a military man.
The gauzy black-and-white cover photo of Vidal in his younger days captures him in all his Calvin Klein-modesque beauty. His gaze is penetrating.

Periodically, while reading the book, I return to that gaze. I see him engaged in palaver with others in his era's literary vanguard, "Gore," someone beckons, and the picture is snapped. The look is casual, sensual and daring all at once.
His is a radical, but without the usual reactionary rhetoric or cynical tone. People were drawn to him. Tennessee Williams, Somerset Maugham and Eleanor Roosevelt were just a few of his notable confidants whose presence and wisdom are woven into the pages of his anthology.
Sex is politics, he wrote, yet he is so at peace with his sexuality as to be the exception to his own rule. An interview with Vidal is reprinted in the book, Larry Kramer, interviewing for Gay Sunshine in 1974, lament "we just want you, wholeheartedly and full-blown—if you pardon the pun—on our team." While Vidal recognizes that sex (whether it be in the coitus or gender
sense) is a political issue, he doesn't see why who he has sex with should be made into a political statement. Especially, he points out, considering that most of us are bisexual by nature anyway, according to Alfred Kinssey, the grand-saddgardd of all sex research.
Vidal's mantra was that there was no such thing as a homosexual person, only homosexual acts.
To date, he has penned novels (23 of them), plays, essays and a memoir. His work eludes classification — just look at the gamut of keywords "Sexually Speaking" is listed under in the Library of Congress: American literature; history and criticism; 20th century American authors; English literature; homosexuality and literature; and sex in literature.
Vidal was thinking outside the box, before doing so was cool.

It doesn't matter if you're traveling for business or pleasure, you've got to eat.
new or we are willing to endure hotel dining rooms for every meal, but finding a restaurant that serves good food can be a challenge.
To help separate the gastronomical delights from the simply gaseous, a good guidebook can help. Here are a few:
"Zagat Survey 1999: America's Top Restaurants"
(Zagat Survey, New York, 1988, 236 pages.
$12.95 paperback.)
This book is a compilation of the nation's best restaurants. In all, it includes 1,140 restaurants in 38 cities.
The book is arranged in alphabetical order, and each city includes reviews for the top restaurants.
Each entry includes the restaurant name, address and phone number, the hours and credit cards accepted. It also includes numerical ratings for food, decor, service and cost, as well as excerpts from some of the surveyors' comments.
The drawback to the book is that there's no geographic reference for restaurant locations. That information, as well as limited restaurant review information, may be obtained from the Zagat Web site at www.zagat.com.
■ "Where the Locals Eat"
(Magellan Press, Nashville, Tenn., 1998. 1,200 pages, $19.95 paperback.)
The book is arranged alphabetically by state, then by city. A "Best Of" list is included for each city, giving the restaurant name, telephone number and street address.
In all, there are 75 "Best OF" categories, covering such choices as all-you-can-eat buffet, atmosphere, places for kids, wine list and vegetarian food.
The authors included the occasional chain restaurant in their entries, even
though some food critics may look down upon that.
"We know that in some smaller cities, the best burgers are at Sonic," the authors write. "And we know that sometimes travelers don't want to experiment with dinner — they just want a decent meal at a reasonable price."
"Mobil Travel Guide: America's Best Hotels and Restaurants"
(Fodor's Travel Publications, New York,
1999. 242 pages. $12 paperback.)
This book includes the winners of the Mobil four-star and five-star rankings for 1999.
The evaluations take into account quality of food, preparation, presentation, freshness of ingredients, quality of service, and attitude and professionalism of the staff and management. Decor, ambiance and style also are taken into account, as are historical, cultural and artistic variations.
Each listing includes the name, address, phone number, e-mail and Web site, type of cuisine, specialties, hours of operation, reservation policy, price range, children's meals, credit cards accepted and handicapped-accessible entrances. It also includes a description of what makes the restaurant distinctive, and any special features, such as chef ownership or entertainment.
** "Vegetarian Journal's Guide to Natural Foods Restaurants in the U.S. and Canada" (Avery Publishing Group, Garden Park City, N.Y., 1998. 368 pages) $12.95**
This book, a third edition, includes more than 2,000 restaurants, juice bars, delis and other places where vegetarians can dine with pleasure.
The book is arranged alphabetically by state and province, then by city, and then by restaurant. Entries describe the type of cuisine, house speciality, special dietary menus such as vegan or macrobiotic and whether alcohol is served. The restaurant phone number and address is provided, as is information on days closed, meals served, credit cards accepted, style of service and approximate price range.

The University Daily Kansan
Section B · Page 5
A younger John Reiminger looks over the top of a freight train traveling through western Kansas on the first day of spring break, 1984. Contributed photo.
A train-hopper's traveling tale
Continued from page 1B
"The train came over the trestle moving slowly." Reimringer said. "We ran alongside it and jumped on the back of a grain car they have ladders, and you can grab the ladder with one hand and then with the other hand, and then you jump."
"When I jumped, I did miss with one foot, and I had the sense of swinging, and then I caught the ladder with my shin, which hurt a lot, and then I climbed on up," he said.
His first jump was nearly a fall.
Of course they preferred to hop on trains that were standing still.
"But we didn't that first night — that's called catching it on the fly," Reimringer said. "The seven-day odyssey seemed like longer."
He talked for nearly an hour, telling of adventures that included run-ins with the law, as well as run-ins with the dubious sorts — the hardened railroad bums — the ones around whom Reimringer said he thought
twice about falling asleep.
Their journey took them as far as Juarez,
Mexico: their experiences took them farther.
They came to know life without guaranteed shelter. They felt the pang of hunger and faced the social isolation that those who live in the grimy world of "On The Road" feel when greeted by cold stares at a small cafe.
He said that a comforting thought throughout the trip had been the knowledge that, no matter how dirty, tired, cold or hungry they were, as college students, they always had a way out.
A stunning revelation to Reimringer had been that he didn't really agree with this quote by Kerouac after all: "There's nothing so noble as to put up with a few inconveniences like snakes and dirt for the sake of absolute freedom."
"We were constantly in danger from both sides of the law," he said.
"Having done it, I don't think we were free at all."
- Edited by Kimberly Erb
Danger of road lends adventure
Last summer I drove by myself to the West Coast for an internship. It was the first time I'd been past the Rockies. I remember driving across the California desert with not a hint of civilization in sight save the slash of asphalt running from one horizon to the next. I pulled my car to the side of the road and got out.
Continued from page 1B
Heat rolled off the scrubby earth in waves and, for the moment, I was the only human being for as far as my eye could see. Alone, in the desert.
Sweat beaded on my forehead, and I thought morbidly that if I was to set off walking into the desert, with no water, I would probably be done for by the day's end. I could be gone for days before anyone would worry (my mom learned long ago not to panic if I didn't call)
The danger factor is an element in road tripping. Staying home is safe, leaving is not. But without the risk it wouldn't be such a high.
I hopped back in the car and was moving once again. I was free. I would eat when I was hungry, sleep when I was tired and arrive when I was ready.
Anything was possible. In my mind, I conjured every imaginable future, lived it and made it vanish. I was utterly alone and utterly free. I was Jesse James; I was Jack Kerouac; I was a nomad with all my meager belongings in tow.
In the opening scene of My Own Private Idaho, Mike (River Phoenix) is standing in the middle of an abandoned stretch of highway.
"There's not another road anywhere that looks like this road," he says. "It's one of a kind. Like someone's face."
He holds his hand up to his face and takes in the unending expanse of blacktop through his splayed fingers. The simple gesture conveys a profound truth: The road is what you make of it.
It's for those who aren't afraid to make their own reality.
For those who aren't afraid to wander
Summer visitors see changes at Rockefeller Center

skating rink is being ripped apart.
NEW YORK — Attention New York City summer visitors: Don't be surprised when Rockefeller Center looks nothing like the way it's described in your guidebooks.
The Associated Press
While the Art Deco landmark is touted as a must-see site in the Big Apple, there isn't much to gaze at this summer. Much of the center is being renovated, and almost every store and many restaurants are closed. Whole sections of the streets and sidewalks are cordoned off.
No tours of Radio City Music Hall.
No drinks at the Rainbow Room.
Even the area around the famous
"It's unbelievable that there is scaffolding everywhere, and you can't walk on half the sidewalks," says Helen Schmidt, who was visiting from Germany. "I barely can find something to take a picture of."
"It's a stop worth missing when coming to New York this year."
The development of Rockefeller Center began in the early 1930s, and today the area is home to a 19 building complex covering 22 acres of prime real estate in the heart of midtown Manhattan. It extends between 5th and 7th avenues and 48th and 52nd streets.
The area's centerpiece — and most frequently visited area — is Rockefeller Plaza. Where the where the huge Christmas tree stands each holiday season, looming above the staking rink and the Channel Gardens, a walkway filled with beautiful flowers and lush greenery.
The tallest building in the plaza, at 70 stories, is 30 Rockefeller Plaza, which is home to the Rainbow Room restaurant and bar on its top floor, as well as the television network NBC and many other corporate offices.
All the office buildings surrounding the plaza are built of limestone,
giving them an unusual color. Below the plaza is the underground concourse — once lined with restaurants and shops — that links all of the buildings in the complex.
But this summer, much of the architectural beauty of the plaza is under wraps. The area is undergoing a major face-lift as Rockefeller Center's landlord — Tishman-Speyer Properties — makes the legendary complex into an upscale shopping mecca.
Radio City will reopen in October, while the Rainbow Room is expected to begin serving meals again in a few months.

Finns find nirvana luxuriating in sauna
The Associated Press
HELSINKI, Finland — A sauna is far more than just a hot room. For Finns, it's a place of birth and of death and of many of the happiest hours in between.
Tourists preparing to sample the essential Finnish experience may wonder about how long to stay in the sauna and whether to cover their nethers with a towel or to bare all. Those concerns, however, are just distractions. The sauna is not about form, but about feeling.
Finnns probably didn't invent the sweatbath, but they developed a strong attachment to the practice. Surveys indicate that 90 percent of Finnns go at least once a week, and there are an estimated 2 million saunas in a country of just 5 million people.
Former President Urho Kekkonen, trying to explain why the sauna gripped Finns' souls, wrote: "Finland has a rugged climate and soil, a people of dour temperament. They long for variety and warmth."
It is so important to their lives that the sauna is often the first structure put up by Finnish peacekeeping forces when they build a new base. As the warmest and cleanest place on homesteads, the sauna was commonly used for giving birth and for breathing one's last — practical measures that increased the sauna's emotional significance.
Today, the sauna attracts substantial scientific interest. Why does loiling in a room heated to upward of 90 C (195 F) followed by a plunge into snow or frigid water make one feel so good?
"You cannot explain it by any physical measures. It's not only physics, but it's mystery," said Lasse Vimikla, a doctor who heads the Finnish Sauna Society.
For neophytes, Vlinikha has some suggestions about how to get the full suna experience. The first principle is allowing for time — plan on 90 minutes to two hours.
Not all of that time is spent in the heat. The pleasure of the sauna comes not from the sweating itself but from heating up and cooling down, Viinikka said. He recommends spending 10 minutes in the sauna, followed by 10 minutes of cooling off, repeating the cycle three times.
Then comes the frigid final cool down, the phase that intimides the newcomer but caps the experience for the veteran. It can be a cold shower or a roll in the snow, but what most devotes like best is a dip in the sea or a lake, preferably if there's some ice
But contrary to common image, it's not a good idea to dive right in to ice water from the sauna, Vilinika said. That's a potential overload for one's heart. The best way is to walk into the water — very quickly, so you don't chicken out halfway through.
The aftermath is what everyone adores: a
perfect yin-vang balance of alertness and relaxation. Most sauna-goers like to luxuriate in the feeling by sitting around for a half-hour or so with a beer, some snacks and philosophical conversation.
Finding a sauna can be a bit difficult for a tourist who doesn't have Finnish friends to invite him to their home sauna. As Finland has become prosperous and more Finns have saunas at home, the public sauna has gone into decline. Only two remain in Helsinki, where there were once scores.
The Finnish Sauna Society, although a private organization, usually allows non-members to come to its facilities as guests if it's not a busy day.
The idyllic surroundings and the huge fireplace in the after-sauna room make this a perfect place for a visitor to enjoy sauna to its fullest. That is, unless one requires the presence of the opposite sex for full enjoyment. The society has separate days for men and women.
Which underlines another important aspect of Finns' attitude about sauna: Although the participants are naked, the sauna isn't a sexually charged environment.
Nor, says Viimika, should the sauma be a placed charged with other sorts of folly.
"We respect the sauna," he said. "It's a holy place, so we keep silent there ... or at least, you should not argue in it."
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court justices are nine smart men and women. But when it comes to writing, there's not a Shakespeare, a Hemingway or even a John Grisham among them.
The Associated Press
Justices' decisions beyond boring
"Trying to pick between the justices in majority opinion writing is rather like asking me whether I prefer Miracle Whip or mayonnaise," said Charles Geyh, Indiana University law professor. "You will rarely see what I regard as good writing in Supreme Court opinions."
Consider this gem, by Justice Antonin Scalia, in a January decision involving the Federal Communications Commission's regulation of local telephone business:
"Respondents argue that avoiding this pari passu expansion of commission jurisdiction with expansion of the substantive scope of the act was the reason the 'nothing shall be construed' provision was framed in the alternative: 'nothing in this act shall be construed to apply or to give the commission jurisdiction' (emphasis added) with respect to the forbidden subjects."
Got that?
The nation's highest court does not allow television coverage of its decision announcements. The justices speak through their writing.
The decisions are not intended to be great literature, said Douglas Kmiec, Pepperdine University law professor.
A Supreme Court opinion is supposed to explain a ruling to the people involved in the case, as well as to the public and lower courts that apply the opinion in future cases.
Decisions can top 100 pages, counting the majority and dissenting opinions.
"You can skim if you have to," suggests Michael Dorf, a Columbia University law professor who once clerked for Justice Anthony K. Kennedy.
Dorf credit Justice Clarence Thomas with the closest thing to moving rhetoric. Writing in a Chicago gang case, Thomas dissented from Justice John Paul Stevens' major opinion that threw out an anti-littering law.
The people who will be harmed by the ruling, are "people who have seen their neighborhoods literally destroyed by gangs and violence and drugs. They are good, decent people who must struggle to overcome their desperate situation, against all odds, in order to raise their families," Thomas said.
By focusing on gang members' rights, Thomas wrote, the court today has denied our most vulnerable citizens the very thing that Justice Stevens elevates above all else — the 'freedom of movement.' And that is a shame.

Students awarded scholarships for study in Japan
(USPS 650-640)
Exchange program commemorates end of World War II
By Stephanie McCarty Kansan staff writer
Japanese soap operas and other cultural exposures piped Spring Day's, Grain Valley, Mo., junior, desire to travel to the country across the Pacific Ocean.
"My best friend's grandma was Japanese, so everything in her
house from the decorations to the clothing to the TV shows were so unique to me." Day said. "I fell in love with the Japanese culture right away."
The Association of International Education in Japan awarded three KU students
PAPER TITLE: RELATIONS WITH PEOPLE
Day: will study at Obirin University near Tokyo.
including Day, $9,000 scholarships to study abroad in Tokyo and Okayama during the 1999 academic year.
Day and Amy Jones, Topeka junior, will use their scholarships to attend Obirin University, located in Machida, a Tokyo suburb. The scholarship covers tuition, room and board, and orientations.
The Office of Study Abroad at KU makes exchange agreements with four universities in Japan to keep the students' costs low and to allow KU and Japanese students to exchange universities for the year.
Cara Snyder, O'Fallon, Mo. junior, will attend one of the country's largest universities, Okayama University.
"I'm so happy I received the scholarship because I wanted to become fluent in Japanese," Jones said. "The language has a totally different system of sounds and writing techniques than what Americans are used to."
Day said that the scholarship was a God-send.
"I wasn't expecting to receive it, because it was so much money," she said. "It is just too good to be true."
The Short-term Student Exchange Promotion Program is part of the "Peace, Friendship and Exchange Initiative" introduced by the Japanese government to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the end of World War II.
The program requires that the scholarship recipients submit a report on their activities for promoting peace and friendship at the end of their study.
Renee Bergene, KU Study Abroad coordinator for the Pacific
Rim Programs, worked closely with each of the recipients during the application process.
"It's my job to advise the students about what classes to take in Japan so that their credits will transfer back to KU," said Bergen.
Jones: will study at Obirun University near Tokyo.

them with their applications, I also help them apply for their housing."
Both Jones and Day will stay with Japanese families.
Snyder will live in a university residence hall.
Day will use the trip to visit friends.
"I'm so excited that I will get to see my friends in Malaysia and Korea when I'm in Japan," Day said. "It is actually cheaper to travel outside of Japan than to travel to places inside of it."
I
Snyder: will study at Okayama University.
And Day will learn more about the culture that has intrigued her since she met her friend's Japanese grandmother.
"My best friend's grandma was so intriguing," Day said. "I can't wait to be totally surrounded by it all."
"Check with the possibilities," Bergene said. "If you're not interested in Japan, keep in mind that studying anywhere in the world is possible. Students need to realize they can use financial aid to go to study abroad experiences, and there are scholarships available to them."
Bergene said that the Office of Study Abroad offered limited scholarships for different direct exchange programs.
For more information about studying in a foreign country, call the Office of Study Abroad at 864-7801.
An application also can be download from the Web site at www.ukans.edu/~osa.

Fishing course hooks many students
PETER E. ROBERTS
Kansan editor
By Matthew Friedrichs
This fish story ain't no lie
And if you don't believe me, ask Lisa John, 'Kansan managing editor, or Phil Huntsinger, associate professor of health, sport and exercise sciences. They were both there.
No, it's not Darby O'Gill and the Little People. It's Ted Decker, Grantville, and another area fisherman (in the background) trying their luck Monday morning at the Bowersock Corm. The only fish biting were buffalo cark, many of whose fins could be seen cutting through the water about 30 feet from the dam. Photo by Lisa John / KANSAN
Ted Decker, a fisherman from Grantville, hooked and landed a University of Kansas class this big (imagine I've got my arms spread wide, and you can see fans in all the seats on the west side of Memorial Stadium between my hands).
OK, OK, so maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration, but at least 100 students hung on Decker's words and laughed for the duration of his hour-long presentation despite the sharp pain of taking a class on a Saturday morning.
Decker fishes for the big ones. He catches flathead catfish in the Kansas and Missouri rivers.
"That's Walter," Decker said, holding a mounted head and circulating a picture of a 76-pound flathead he pulled from the river. "That's the biggest one I've ever caught."
Decker was the first in a line of fishermen Huntsinger brought to teach Fish Kansas. Huntsinger has taught the class since 1985. Every summer he tries to entertain, teach and maybe catch a few new fans for the sport.
Ted Decker certainly caught our attention.
During his best day fishing in
recent memory, he caught a 70-pound flathead, a 30-pound flathead, a 10-pound carp and two black snakes in his front yard when he got home with the fish.
The self-described river rat's stories writie with life, twisting and turning like the rivers that he practically lives on.
He's paddled his kayak on the Missouri River from Omaha to Kansas City once and from Kansas City to St. Louis three times — by himself.
It's something that nobody else does
"You don't have to stand in line to
do it." Decker said.
dolt, Decker shan.
He makes notes on his Missouri River navigation map, marking agood fishing spots, indicating good camping areas and writing about his conversations with other colorful characters like "Flathead" in Waverley, Mo., and "Hambone" in White Cloud.
He averages 25 to 30 miles a day for the seven to 11 days he's on the river, and his only companions during the last two trips to St. Louis have been cats he picked up for free after reading the classified ads in The Topeka Capital Journal.
"Once you feed a cat, it always
comes back." Decker said.
When he's not kayaking across Missouri, Decker feeds his hunger for fishing by tending lines hanging from branches within a few feet of the bank along the Kansas River.
He baits his large hooks — they're not designed for earthworms because the hooks are almost as big as a worm — by hooking them through the tail of a perch, small carp, bullhead or larger goldfish. Then he drops the hooks in the water before dusk.
He checks them early in the morning to see if he's landed anything worth eating.
Last Saturday, the class struck at Decker's lure like the flatheads and went home with a taste of his fishing style.
When he finished answering questions, Decker pulled out a cooke filled with deep-fried catfish and offered samples of his handiwork.
He began to pack his hooks and lines. Walter, the large fathead mounted on an elm base, would return to its proud place on Decker's bedroom wall.
as we munched on the catfish, Decker swallowed Huntsinger's bait — two slabs of ribs to show gratitude to Decker for giving up a Saturday morning of fishing to talk to a bunch of ants, hung-over college students.
"My wife said, 'Oh good, we can eat ribs tonight. We don't have to eat fish," Decker said.

KU Summer Theatre to open 'Godspell'
"Godspell," the popular musical adaptation of the Gospel according to St. Matthew, will be staged by Kansas Summer Theatre at the University of Kansas at 8 a.m. July 23 through 25 and 29 through 31 at the Crafton-Preyer Theatre in Murphy Hall.
The musical, by John-Michael Tebelak, features music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz, writer of hits for the Disney films "Pocahontas" and "The Hunchback of Notre Dame."
The musical follows the life of Jesus Christ as described in the Gospel, but puts its own spin on the story. It puts the spotlight on the magic and showmanship of Jesus' parables.
"Godspell" is directed by John Stani-nas, assistant professor of theatre and film, with musical direction by Jack Roller, Tulsa, Okla., doctoral student. Scenic and costume designer is Delores Ringer, associate professor of theatre and film, with lighting design by Dennis Christilles, assistant professor of theatre and film.
Stanianas' concept for the production is the upcoming millennium. Members of the ensemble play a variety of characters and are costumed to represent 2,000 years of human history. A five-piece on-stage band will accompany the music and dancing, which ranges from rock and roll and swing to country and western.
Reserved-seat tickets for "God-spell" are now on sale in the KU box offices: Murphy Hall, 864-3982; Lied Center, 864-ARTS; and SUA, 864-3477. Tickets are $8 for all students, $16 for the public and $15 for senior citizens.
E.M.U. Theatre to show student's original play
E. M.U. Theatre will present "Living Pleasantly with Others," an original play by Melissa Shimkovitz, Glenview, ill., junior, at 8 p.m. July 21.
and 22 and 11 p.m. July 23 and 24 in the Ecumenical Christian Ministries building, 1402 Oread Ave
The play follows a woman named Stella as her life is pulled out from under her and allows the audience a unique, voyeuristic experience, Shimkovitz said.
While the meaning of the acronym E.M.U. is clandestine, Shimkovitz defines the group as a socially conscious theatrical collective dedicated solely to local artists, actors, writers and directors.
Tickets to "Living Pleasantly with Others" are $5 and can be purchased at the door. E.M.U. is accepting script submissions for future productions.
Collaboration works to improve teaching
The University of Kansas will lead a collaboration of northeastern Kansas educators to improve teacher's preparation in science and math using a $2.4 million grant from the National Science Foundation.
The partnership aims to meet the needs of high-school students considering teaching, teacher education students and early-career teachers.
The effort, titled the Kansas Collaborative for Excellence in Teacher Preparation, is led by KU and Kansas State University.
They will also work on recruiting and retaining minorities and disadvantaged students to science programs and mentoring K-12 teachers during the initial years of their professional careers.

"This program intends to combine the current individual courses into a recognized graduate degree," said Tom Glavinich, chair and associate professor of the Architectural Engineering Department.
The program is 33-credit hours.
New director named to Employment office
Gail Rooney, a Wayne State College assistant professor, has been named the new director of the University Career and Employment Services office at the University of Kansas.
She will start on Aug. 23. She succeeds Terry Glenn, who went on medical leave in 1998.
Rooney is an assistant professor in the Wayne State counselor education program. She also coordinates the counselor education master's degree program in Northern Iowa via distance-learning media and traditional classroom experience. In addition, she was instrumental in developing the distance-learning program for Wayne State.
Rooney has a doctorate in counseling psychology from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, a master's degree from George Williams College, Downers Grove, Ill., and a bachelor's degree from the University of Colorado, Boulder.
New director to join Tele-Networking Services
John H. Louis, executive director of a 20-member educational technology consortium, has been named director of KU Networking and Telecommunications Services.
As NTS' director, Louis will oversee the management of a network that provides voice, data and video services to the University. He will supervise 45 employees and manage a $7 million budget. He assumes the new position on Sept. 7.
Louis has been the executive director for Upper Great Lakes Educational Technologies Inc., a consortium of school districts, colleges and universities, hospitals, libraries and Native American tribes in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Before that he was manager of telecommunications at Michigan Technological University, Houghton, from 1989 to 1996.
Louis earned a bachelor's of science in electrical engineering in 1979 from Michigan Technological University. He majored in nuclear power engineering,
High bids delay construction of hall
Higher than expected bids have delayed the construction of a new scholarship hall.
Ground breaking for a women's scholarship hall was expected to take place the first week of July, but University officials continue to negotiate with contractors after the lowest bid submitted was $600,000 more than what the University budgeted for the project.
The delay shouldn't prevent the new hall from opening next fall, said Ken Stoner, director of student housing.
"We will go ahead with the project," he said. "We're negotiating with the contractor."
Warren Corman, University architect, attributed the higher expense to the volume of construction projects currently ongoing, and a short age of workers.
The University budgeted $2 million for the project, but the lowest bid was $2.6 million.
Margaret and K.K. Amini donated $1.5 million for the new building. They also donated money for the construction of Amini Scholarship Hall, which is named for them.
The new hall will house 50 undergraduate students. It will be next to Amini Scholarship Hall and have a similar floor plan and exterior.
About 450 students currently live in five men's scholarship halls and
four women's scholarship halls. The new hall has not yet been named.

New Board of Regents to perform new duties
STATE
TOPEKA — Higher education representatives expressed hope as well as concern during the second business meeting of the state's revamped Board of Regents.
The meeting today often resembled a pep rally, with representatives of universities, community colleges and vocational technical schools declaring the creation of the new Board a historic event.
However, they also raised concerns about equity among higher education institutions and about how the board will operate.
The board's chairman, Bill Docking, said he was disappointed because the Legislature did not grant $600,000 that the board's transition team requested for coordination of the schools.

The new board has nine members, like the old one, but it is also responsible for supervising operations of the community colleges, area vocational-technical schools, and the state's six universities.
The new board also is supposed to provide coordination among those institutions, Washburn University of Topeka and other private universities.

Rock star returns home to attend school reunion
LOS ANGELES — Melissa Etheridge is going back in time this weekend.
The rock singer is planning to attend the 20th reunion of her Leavenworth High School class in Kansas. She said she kept in touch with some former classmates and her sister still lived in the area.
"I get to go back as the rock star like everyone dreamed, and I actually am," she told The Associated Press. "I'll probably have to sign a few autographs."
A lot has happened to Etheridge since she attended her 10th reunion. Back then, her first self-titled album had just been released. Now, she's got two Grammys and sold more than 25 million records. Her first album in three years, "Breakdown," will be released in October.
In high school, Etheridge was called "Missy" and played guitar in a swing choir group called Power and Life.
"I'm not one of those artists that were tortured in high school," she said. "I had lots of friends. I was sort of different, but I wasn't shunned."

One small step, one big memory
When asked, most baby boomers remember exactly where they were at two particular moments — when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated and when Neil Armstrong stepped on the moon and said, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."
On July 20, 1969, I was outside playing when my dad called me in to watch television. Even at the young age of 12, I knew whatever I was going to watch was going to be important. My dad rarely asked me to watch television with him.
I went in the house and found the whole family gathered around the black and white Zenith. Dád stood in back of the television constantly adjusting the antenna. My brother, sister, mother and I watched between the horizontal lines on the grainy picture as the Apollo 11 lunar landing module set down on the surface of the moon.
We stared in silence and disbelief at the picture of the spacecraft on the moon's surface.
As I listened to the crackly communication between the astronauts and technicians at the Manned Spacecraft Center, now the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center, in Houston, I realized why my father wanted me to watch television with him that afternoon. I was too young to realize it then, but he knew it was history in the making.
We watched as the door of the lunar module opened. Neil Armstrong emerged, climbed down the ladder and stepped onto the moon and into history.
After 30 years the memory is still fresh.
To this day, many contend the moon landing was mankind's crowning technological achievement. However, some believe it was a waste of time and money. But most Americans would now agree that it
Commentary
brought the country closer together at a time when it was being torn apart by assassinations, race riots and Vietnam War protests.
Since then, space travel has become commonplace. NASA is busy working in cooperation with Russia on the space station. Last week, Neil Armstrong, in one of his rare public appearances, advocated the benefits of commercial space tourism. Imagine a round trip ticket to the moon and back. According to Armstrong, it won't be long before that ticket

and the Columbia crew are scheduled to take the shuttle into space to deploy Chandra, the largest X-ray telescope in the world.

in 1961. President Kennedy told the American people that we would put a man on the moon by the end of the decade.

WASHINGTON — On the 30th anniversary of the first moon landing, the men of Apollo 11 received the prestigious Langley Gold Medal for aviation today, met with President Clinton at the White House and were praised for an astonishing mission that united the nation.
Neil Armstrong, who commanded Apollo 11 and was the first man to walk on the moon, Edwin A. "Buzz" Aldrin and Michael Collins blazed a path farther than any we have known, Vice President Al Gore said in ceremonies at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum.
Aviation award praises giant step
Clinton began a Rose Garden press appearance with a rhetorical nod to the three former astronauts, who visited the White House this morning.
They and everyone at NASA over the years have made an extraordinary contribution to our nation and to humanity," Clinton said. "I am very grateful to them."
On July 20, 1969, Armstrong and Aldrin landed the Apollo lunar module they called Eagle on the moon's Sea of Tranquility. Hours later, Armstrong descended a ladder and became the first to walk the lunar surface. Collins remained in lunar orbit aboard the command ship, Columbia. Gore, speaking at ceremonies staged beside the Apollo 11 command ship, said the astronauts had

accomplished their mission with what would now be regarded as primitive equipment.
"It is even more astonishing that their mission was pulled off with the technology that was available then." Gore said.
The Langley Gold Medal, named for American aviation pioneer, Samuel P. Langley, had been awarded only 21 times previously. The first recipients were Wilbur and Orville Wright in 1909.
Gore said that the Apollo 11 triumph had come during a time when the United States was wracked by demonstrations against the Vietnam War, by assassinations of Martin Luther King and Robert F. Kennedy and by urban riots.
Apollo 11, he said, gave a new sense of unity.
"We came together, transformed by the mission you undertook," he said. "Family and communities came together to watch with fear and pride."
Gore told Armstrong that with his first step onto the Sea of Tranquility, he had brought tranquility to us at home.
Catch of the day: a 38-year-old capsule
The Associated Press
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — After 38 years at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, Gus Grissom's Mercury space capsule was reeled in yesterday by an underwater salvage team.
The long-awaited recovery coincided with the 30th anniversary of man's first moon landing. And it was just the day before the 38th anniversary of Grissom's 15-minute suborbital flight aboard Liberty Bell 7.
"I'm quite relieved that the capsule came out of the water in one piece, and I'm anxious to get back to Florida," said expedition leader Curt Newport in a statement issued by the Discovery Channel, which financed the search.
Newport and his team were expected to bring the Liberty Bell 7 back to Cape Canaveral today.
The crew set sail July 1, picking up where they left off at the beginning of May, when they located the spacecraft in relatively good condition 300 miles southeast of Cape Canaveral. The capsule was
located more than three miles underwater, but they had to leave it when the cable to their robotic recovery vessel snapped during rough weather.
Bomb experts on board inspected an explosive navigation device that failed to go off when the spacecraft sank. As soon as the small bomb was removed and disposed of, the capsule was placed in a specially designed container filled with sea water to help preserve it.
Because of problems recovering Liberty Bell 7 — two days were wasted because of bad navigational data, and the new recovery vessel kept breaking — Newport and his team had no time to search for the capsule's infamous hatch.
Liberty Bell 7 sank soon after splashing down. The explosive bolts that blew open the hatch detonated prematurely, and the spacecraft filled with water. A helicopter tried to pull it out, but finally had to let go. Grissom nearly drowned.
Mercury astronaut Wally Schirra said that without the hatch, there would be no way to prove what happened. But he added: "I know it was something mechanical, not Grissom's fault. So it's not vindicating Grissom at all. I've already vindicated Grissom a long time ago."
He insisted until his death in the 1967 Apollo launch pad fire that the hatch problem was not his fault.
Newport had hoped to salvage film from a camera that was running when Liberty Bell 7 splashed down. But the the camera was found in mud at the bottom of the capsule. The film was unusable.
Under an agreement with NASA and the Smithsonian institution, the capsule will be trucked to the Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center in Hutchinson, where it will be taken apart, cleaned of corrosives, and eventually put on display. Though found and recovered by a private company, the capsule is still considered government property.
Betty Grissom, the astronaut's widow, had lamented the discovery of the capsule back in May, saying, "It brings back memories and there's nothing good."

On the second floor of the Dole Human Development Center, an average of 40 undergraduate and graduate students are creating the Online Academy under the direction of Ed Meyen, professor of special education.
The Online Academy, a three-year project funded by an Office of Special Education Programs grant, is aimed at teacher educators nationwide.
Although the grant is for teacher education, Meyen said he would like to make the online short courses, or modules, available to practicing teachers.
"We're getting great feedback in terms of what we're doing," Meyen said.
The feedback comes from a national evaluation team. The team is a cross section of 32 universities that are sampling and evaluating the online modules.
Meyen said that the modules are independent and free of charge, are designed to be fully online, and can be used with or without the aid of a teacher.
The modules, which are researchbased training programs, concentrate on three content areas: reading, positive behavioral support and technology in education.
Writing teams, comprised of students from different majors and levels, contribute to the development of the modules.
"We utilize each one's unique talent." Meven said.
All of the modules have a text-based option, but most utilize various multimedia technologies like streaming audio and video software programs that allow the user to access the contents.
Meyen said the modules are designed to work in all environments. For instance, some modules are designed for hearing, or sight-impaired users.
He stressed the rich content of the modules, and said they were far more comprehensive than a face-to-face classroom.
The Online Academy plans to continue to develop and revise the modules for next year and to release them in December 2000.

Meyen, who has taught online courses in curriculum development full time for three years, said he believed that online courses would be commonplace in the near future but that they would never totally replace the classroom.
"It will cause face-to-face instruction to get better," Meyen said. "The teaching process is private; instruction is public."
He said he couldn't imagine a student going through college five years from now without taking at least one online course.

New students get enrollment help from peers
By Matthew Friedrichs
By Matthew Friedrichs
Kansan editor
Aaron Swarts, Topeka senior, has been explaining the enrollment process and advising his friends about which classes to take since his second semester at the University of Kansas.
"It's something I like to do; help my friends with their enrollment," the business administration and sociology major said.
Unlike many students who dislike the cumbersome system used to determine student schedules, Swarts said he is fascinated by enrollment.
"Most (new) students agree that it's good to have a student perspective." Durham said.
Tammara Durham, assistant director of the Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center, said that peer advisers are important to the advising process.
During a typical summer advising session, freshmen and transfer students hear a short presentation by a faculty member.
This summer he's helping more than his friends. Swarts and 19 other students are peer advisers who help full-time faculty members advise about 5,000 students enrolling for their first time during new student orientation sessions.
The students then ask questions and select courses with the help of faculty members and peer advisers.
On days when students who want to study busi-
ness attend orientation, Swarts is paired with a business adviser, Jerry Lewis, assistant professor of business.
"The people who do the orientation, including the student assistants, are just too quality." Lewis said.
student assistants, are just top quality." Lewis said. As students pondered enrollment options on a July Thursday afternoon, Lewis and Swarts circled the room offering advice about humanities options, explaining what a discussion group is, that labs are required for certain science classes, and helping students pick alternatives if their first choices weren't available.
Which classes and teachers does Swarts recommend?
"It's all situational," he said. "It's going to depend on the student, the teacher and both personalities."
Kathryn Tuttle, director of the Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center, said that peer advisers provide important one-on-one contact with the new students.
Despite his previous experience assisting friends, Swarts and the other peer advisors needed additional training.
They spent a week before the summer with the student orientation assistants learning about the academic departments and their requirements, as well as student services.
Gerhard Schroeder proclaims Germany protector of democracy

BERLIN — In a ceremony fraught with symbolism of Germany's Nazi past, Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder yesterday welcomed army recruits by proclaiming his country's new tradition as a protector of democracy.
Germany demonstrated in the Yugoslavia conflict, its first battle engagement since World War II, that the military really is a force for peace, Schroeder said at the swearing-in of 432 army recruits.
"Our soldiers put into practice what we have learned from history: to take responsibility for human rights, including in places where German armies have wreaked terror and crime in the past," he said.
The ceremony coincided with the
55th anniversary of the best-known assassination attempt on Adolf Hitler, taking place next to the courtyard of the former Nazi army command headquarters in Berlin where the main coup plotters were executed.
The building, known as the Bendlerblock, now is a memorial to German resistance to Nazism.
By staging the event in Berlin, the German government wanted to make a point of claiming the former Nazi capital for democratic post-war Germany before the government returns here in the fall.
The recruits marched in to the beat of a single snare drum, swinging their arms from side to side in ordered columns before taking their oath of service.
"There always must be an army for
peace, to protect the peace." Markus Zdravkovic, 23, one of the green-bereted recruits, said afterward. "My mission is peace in all of the world."
Police wearing riot gear surrounded the event, where about 1,000 leftists and other demonstrators gathered, some shouting "Killers!" at the recruits as they arrived. Their din of whistles and blasting music could be heard faintly as Schroeder spoke.
About 10 protesters briefly disrupted the ceremony, some running halfnaked across the courtyard. The protesters were quickly tackled by security guards, and Schroeder himself stepped out of the stands to pick up some of the debris, drawing the audience's applause.
Previous swearing-in ceremonies have drawn protests and strong criticism, including complaints that they cost too much and are antiquated references to the nation's militaristic past. Critics of yesterday's events also complained about the site, saying it represented Nazi aggression, not resistance.
The ceremony took place just yards from where Lt. Col. Claus von Stauffenberg and his fellow conspirators were executed on July 20,1944, for their failed assassination attempt on Hitler.
Stauffenberg left a briefcase bomb at a field headquarters in East Prussia where Hitler was meeting with top aides. After seeing the bomb go off and believing Hitler dead — Stauffenberg sped to Berlin, where he was to have seized the Bendlerblock along with fellow plotters.
But hearing that Hitler survived, some of the plotters lost their resolve, and the coup fizzled. Stauffenberg was shot along with other conspirators.
As many as 200 plotters eventually were shot, hanged or in some cases strangled with piano wire and strung up on meat hooks after being tortured by the Gestapo to reveal the names of others in the scheme.
Today, the Bendlerblock contains a museum on Nazi resistance and has been the site of previous commemorations of the assassination attempt.

Professor juggles duties, finds success
By Sarah Smith Nessel Special to the Kansan
Don't ask Herb Tuttle about pet food.
It's not that he hated his job at Hill's Pet Nutrition in Topeka. But the raw materials sometimes were a little too raw.
I don't know what you visualize when you think of beef byproducts, but I know what I can visualize because I was there for six years." Tuttle said. "A pallet of thawing livers is not a beautiful sight."
Tuttle held several positions during his years with the company, one of several he worked for before becoming an assistant professor at the University of Kansas Edwards Campus in Overland Park four years ago. In addition to teaching, Tuttle serves as associate director of the Edwards Campus engineering management graduate program.
Although Tuttle now manages classrooms rather than manufacturing plants, he has vivid memories of the strong odor of ground meat and ground cereal cooking together at the Hill's plant.
Still, Tuttle said he buys Hill's Science Diet for his pets, and that's no small expense. The Tuttle household in Lawrence includes a dog, a hamster, a turtle, a tortoise, two salamanders, two rabbits and 52 Madagascar hissing cockroaches.
The cockroaches, he explained, joined the household when his youngest son, Peter, now 10, agreed to bring them home from his science class for the summer.
"At that time, there were five or six," Tuttle said. "Now we've got an aquarium full." And, yes, they hiss.
A worthy fight
Even before the menagerie came along, Herb and Jane Tuttle had lived in somewhat unusual circumstances. They met at the State University of New York-Buffalo, where he was working on undergraduate degrees in electronics engineering and industrial technology.
"We met at a fight," said Jane Tuttle, an administrative assistant in the dean of students office at the University. "I was the residence hall director, and he was a resident, and he was in a crowd watching two guys fight."
Herb Tuttle remembers it clearly,
even the date: Oct. 10, 1977.
"I saw her making an advance to stop these two, and I thought, 'This woman doesn't know what she's getting into.' So I went in to help
her." he said.
They were married in 1979, a day after he received a master's degree in industrial technology from Illinois State University. Graduation was on Friday, the wedding was Saturday, and they moved to Kansas on Sunday.
In the two decades since that whirlwind weekend, Berry Tuttle's resume has expanded with accomplishments, both professional and academic. He has worked as a project engineer, project manager, production supervisor, safety director, plant manager and management consultant.
tant in eight different industries. He also co-authored a book on facilities and workplace design and has written articles on team project planning and career planning.
PETER E. MILLER
Tuttle: former engineer teaches at Edwards Campus.
Along the way, he's collected more degrees — a master's in
business administration from KU and a master's in engineering management from the University of Tennessee.
"One thing that strikes me about Herb is that he has so many things going on at once, and he's able to balance them all," said Jessica Welch, director of graduate recruiting at the Edwards Campus. "And he does an excellent job of finding time for the prospective students. I'm just amazed."
Continuing school while juggling a family and career is all a matter of attitude. Tuttle said.
"I think sometimes graduate students, particularly the nontraditional graduate students, look at a master's program like they did their undergraduate program — that they've got to get it done in such and such a period of time, a little bit like ripping off an old bandage," Tuttle said. "But I say the attitude has got to be, 'This is my new hobby. One night a week I spend three or four hours with interesting professionals, then sometime during the week I squeeze in six to eight hours worth of homework and reading."
Tuttle is still pursuing his hobby. He's working on a doctorate in engineering management from the University of Alabama through a distance-learning program.
Distance learning, in which students take courses on videotape, the Internet or some other method without meeting regularly for class, is one of Tuttle's passions. He's enthusiastic about his involvement in organizing a distance-learning program based at the Edwards Campus.
Such alternatives are important, Tuttle said, because his students — whom he views as academic customers — often are far removed from the classroom.
"We find that half our students travel half the time doing work for their companies." Tuttle said.
To accommodate business travel, all lectures are made available on videotape, and Tuttle posts his lecture notes and Power Point slides on the Internet.
Everyone has stereotypes about engineers, Tuttle said as he ticked off a list. They're not people people. They're introverted. They can't communicate.
Cheerful and talkative, Tuttle couldn't be further from those stereotypes. He laughs easily and talks earnestly about a class that affects students in significant ways.
Tough questions
In Personal Development for the Engineering Manager, Tuttle asks his students to step away from their immediate concerns and develop a career and life plan.
"A lot of them do a lot of soul searching," he said, adding that many say they've never had such an assignment.
Ine results can be interesting.
"One student called me and said,
'You know, this career writing assignment has been great for me.
As a result, I've decided to divorce my wife and quit the program.'
And he did."
As students in that course learn, anyone coming to Tuttle for career advice can expect some tough questions.
Early influences
Tuttle grew up in Dundee, N.Y., a town of about 3,000 people. Everything there was news.
"I remember when they installed the traffic light," Tuttle said. "It was a big deal. You'd stand on the
corner, and the local policeman would flag people down if they ran through the light."
Dundee's entertainment offerings didn't extend far beyond television and traffic signals, but the town did have an abundance another recreation element: snow.
"If you didn't ski in the wintertime, you didn't do much," said Tuttle, whose sking life suffered a near-fatal blow when he moved to the relative flatlands of Lawrence. He thought his skiing days might be over.
Then he heard about Snow Creek ski area in Weston, Mo.
"I literally drove up in a pair of Dockers pants and a nylon jacket, just out for a day, and there was a ski slope with snow and all that," Tuttle said. "So I grabbed my credit card and went inside, rented equipment and went out and started skiing that same day. And the next year I purchased equipment and was hired by the ski school to teach skiing."
Even in his office during the week, he feeds his self-described addiction to skiing. His computer flashes a series of photos from Winter Park, Colo., and ski conditions and weather information scroll across the screen.
That's not the only eye-catching feature of Tuttle's office. Plastered all over a file cabinet are dozens of magnets. They're from all around the world, Tuttle explains, brought back by students whose jobs took them to Asia, South America, Europe and beyond. The presentation of these magnets to Tuttle has become something of a classroom ritual.
Looking back on his life so far,
Turtle has no relegts.
Past perfect
"There's nothing I want to do over again." he said.
At 43, he's earned a bachelor's degree, three master's degrees and a sense of satisfaction that he's made the right choices. With two sons, he's now involved in Boy Scouts, and he's building a family tradition of spring break trips to Colorado. He's busy with students both in the classroom and on the ski slopes. And he's a walking promotional spot for the Edwards Campus, talking excitedly about its growth and potential.
And finally, he's closing in on that Ph.D.
"This is the degree I've wanted all along." Tuttle said. "So when we get this one done, we're gonna take a long rest."

Senate moves forward on nuclear security
WASHINGTON — The Senate voted unanimously yesterday to limit debate and move toward voting on a Republican-sponsored bill that would create a new agency in charge of research and security at U.S. nuclear weapons labs.
The Associated Press
The measure addresses concerns, particularly among Republicans, that the Energy Department's cumbersome bureaucracy is unable to balance research funding with the need to secure nuclear secrets.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle agreed, 99-0, to move toward a vote on adding the proposal to pending legislation authorizing spending on a wide array of U.S. intelligence programs. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., was absent because of his nephew's plane crash.
The amendment would establish a semi-
autonomous Agency for Nuclear Stewardship to
oversee all nuclear weapons-related activities.
A final vote is expected this week, according to
a representative for Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott, R-Miss.
The bill stems from a series of congressional and Clinton administration evaluations that concluded that the Energy Department was bureaucratically top-heavy and incapable of managing nuclear research and security.
In particular, proponents of the legislation hope to address weaknesses highlighted by the Energy Department's failure to respond for more than a decade to a steady stream of congressional oversight reports indicating security gaps at the weapons labs. In the most recent flap, Clinton administration critics said the Energy Department was slow to respond when its own internal security officials raised alarms about an employee at the Los Alamos, N.M., weapons lab suspected of spying for China.
Meanwhile, the DOE's Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California came under harsh scrutiny at a House Commerce subcommittee hearing yesterday, with lawmakers questioning the department's assertions that it is correcting security lapses.
fully independent agency.
No similar measure has yet passed in the House, although Republicans there are working on an even stronger bill that would create a
"Without aggressive and sustained internal and external oversight, Livermore will never fully correct these deficiencies," said the committee chairman, Rep. Tom Bliley, R-Va. "I am not interested in DOE whitewashing, defensive posturing or the administration's all-is-nowwell spin."

C. Bruce Tarter, director of the Livermore lab, said he was confident its nuclear materials and classified information are secure. He said the lab has instituted upgrades in its detection and alarm systems surrounding its plutonium facility, is scanning outgoing e-mail and has tightened access by foreign nationals to unclassified computers.

JFK Jr. search and recovery continues
The Associated Press
AQUINNAH, Mass. — John F. Kennedy Jr. pulled up his plane and banked to the right in a normal approach to Martha's Vineyard. Then the plane dropped rapidly to the water, officials said yesterday.
Chief investigator Robert Pearce declined to speculate on the force of the impact, but said: "I'm sure you can draw a conclusion by the debris we've been bringing in, which is fragmented."
At a briefing yesterday, Pearce, who is leading the investigation for the National Transportation Safety Board, gave a more detailed explanation of Kennedy's approach to Martha's Vineyard.
All seemed fine about 34 miles from the airport. The plane had been descending from 5,600 feet to about 2,300 feet at a slightly faster-than-normal rate of about 700 feet per minute. About 20 miles from the airport, the plane started turning to the right and climbing slightly back to 2,600 feet.
After leveling off at that altitude, it flew for a short time more before beginning another turn to the right and starting a rapid rate of descent that may have exceeded 5,000 feet per minute. That is 10 times faster than normal.
Some aviation experts said Kennedy could have been experiencing a problem common among young pilots: spatial disorientation.
"Your middle ear can be tricked, and what you think is up is sideways, and what you think is sideways is up," said David Hinson, a former Federal Aviation Administration executive.
He noted that Kennedy also could have been responding to mechanical failure, an empty fuel tank or any other number of problems.
but several experienced pilots who flew into the Vineyard on Friday night said that the hazy skies and darkness were challenging, even for them.
Yesterday, divers plunged into the waters off Martha's Vineyard from small patrol boats, a Navy salvage ship, Coast Guard cutters and inflatable rafts.

plane crashed into the water about 7 and one half miles southwest of Aquinnah.
"During the course of this morning's sonar operations, (we) picked up a target that we felt had the characteristics that we were looking for," Larrabee said.
The plane was carrying Kennedy, 38; his wife, Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, 33; and her sister, Lauren Bessette, 34. Kennedy the pilot,
planned to drop off his sister-in-law on the island and continue to his cousin's wedding in Hyannis Port.
A call, made by 21-year-old Adam Budd, expressed no great urgency as he telephoned an FAA station in Bridgeport, Conn., at 10:05 p.m. Friday, FAA officials said. He said he called at the request of an unidentified couple who had come to the airport to meet Lauren Bessette.
Budd asked if the agency could track the airplane, but the person at the FAA station questioned him repeatedly about who he was and finally said that the information could not be given on the phone.
"It's not a big deal," Budd said as he ended the conversation.
No action was taken until a much more urgent call was made to the Coast Guard at 2:15 a.m. by a Kennedy family friend.
As it turned out, the plane had gone down about 9:40 p.m.
An FAA representative said the agency does not provide information on private citizens and private aircraft on the telephone, and the person on the other end of the call acted appropriately.
Sources close to the family said arrangements for a memorial service at a Roman Catholic Church in New York City were being discussed. The service is to be held Thursday or Friday.
Book publishers capitalize on celebrity deaths
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Moments after lamenting the death of John F. Kennedy Jr. as an "ice pick to my heart," author Stephen J. Spignes asked a question on the minds of many writers: "How's my book doing?"
As of Monday afternoon, his book, "The J.F.K. Jr. Scrapbook," published in 1997, was No. 24 on Amazon.com's Hot 100 list.
"No. 24!" he said excitedly. "It was No. 30 earlier in the day, and it's been as high as 17. Last week it was something like 68,000!"
In the increasingly sped-up world of publishing, grief can get left behind.
As with Princess Diana and other celebrities who died, the aftermath of Kennedy's plane
crash is a time for thinking of new books, updating old ones and getting out-of-print editions back in print.
Signet, a mass market division of Penguin Putnam Inc., is reissuing Wendy Leigh's "Prince Charming: The John F. Kennedy Jr. Story," a 1994 biography that Monday reached No. 72 on Amazon.com. A memorial edition is planned for next week, with a printing of 100,000.
"No biographer wants to be in this position," Leigh said. "But it's a story that needs to be told and delaying it doesn't make it end any more happily."
Appearing at No. 76 on the Internet seller's list was "John F. Kennedy Jr.: A Life in the Spotlight," a 1996 publication. Andrews McMeel Publishing will ship 200,000 copies of
Mary Ellen Keating, a spokeswoman for Barnes & Noble Inc., said the superstore chain had no plans for special Kennedy displays but that it did order seven times as many copies of Time and Newsweek. She also reported strong sales for Kennedy's magazine, George, which had been struggling.
a new edition, available in early August.
“It’s been going fast since Saturday,” she said. One Kennedy biographer who said he had no immediate plans to write about the family was Christopher Andersen, author of two Kennedy-related best sellers: “Jack and Jackie” and “Jackie After Jack.” When asked if he would update either, he responded that it was too soon.
"It's time for people to let it sink in," he said. "It's such a phenomenal occurrence."

Nation remembers son of slain president
BOSTON — They came by the busloads, young and old, the poor and the privileged alike, from the West Coast and Middle America, to mourn John F. Kennedy Jr. at the library named for his father.
Behind the library, overlooking Boston Harbor, an American flag flew at half-staff as divers off the coast of Martha's Vineyard continued to search for the wreckage of the plane Kennedy was piloting Friday.
"He's our prince, and we'll miss the images, the beauty," said Gloria Christison of San Francisco, who had been vacationing on Cape Cod with her husband.
Afterward, her husband, David, with tears in his eyes and his voice breaking, said, "They were real good people. John Jr., he was a common person. He was just a good guy."
The John F. Kennedy Library and Museum invited the public to sign a book of condolences Tuesday in the lobby on a small table along with fresh flowers and a photo.
Mary Hogan, who is from the working-class Dorchester section of Boston where the library is situated, arrived bearing three red roses that she placed among a few dozen other bouquets along an outside wall.
Some wept when they looked at the framed color photo of JFK Jr. in a tuxedo, and his wife, Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, in a black evening gown, holding hands as they arrived for a dinner at the library in May last year.
"I've always admired the family,"
Sharon Zimmerman of Athens, Ohio, wrote: "Our deepest sympathy, prayers and love are with you and your families through your tragic loss."
she said. "They've received, given and endured much with great courage and grace. They've had to take a lot of flak from lesser people. I just want them to know that there are millions of us they'll never meet, who will hold them in their hearts."
Hundreds signed the book, and by early afternoon, the wait was 45 minutes.
Tom McNaught, a spokesman for the library, said it had been flooded with calls, and the condolence book was one way to give people a means to express their grief.
Kennedy had served as vice chairman of the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation. He and his wife had visited the library just this May for the annual fund-raising dinner. He and his sister, Caroline Kennedy, donated $1 million two years ago.
Terry Purtell of Quincy brought her four daughters, ages 4 to 14, to sign the book. She said the family had been watching television all weekend on the search for the plane carrying Kennedy, 38, his wife, 33, and her sister Lauren Bessette, 34.
Purtell remembered when a 3-year-old JFK Jr. saluted his father's casket at his funeral in 1963. She was watching then. Now her children watch the latest Kennedy tragedy.
"They wanted to be here," she said. "It's a big part of history. It's very important to be here."

Dying for the days of the Old West
Cemetery shows dying never easy
THE GATE OF THE FORT.
Bv Lisa John
No doubt about it — with the border wars and a growing community, Lawrence was a lively place to live in the mid-1800s.
The Usher burial vault is one of several at Oak Hill Cemetery, which opened in 1865. Nearby is a memorial to the victims of Quantrill's raid, some of whom were originally buried in a mass grave in west Lawrence after the Aug. 21, 1863 raid. They were reburied at Oak Hill Cemetery in 1872. Photo by Lisa John/KANSAN
Kansan managing editor
Lawrence cemetery records also show that it was an interesting place to die.
People died then from conditions that we have not heard of today and from diseases that we now think of as vaccinations. Some of the more frequent diseases listed as the cause of death include: dropy of the brain, apoplectic fits, bilious fever, brain fever, consumption, inflammation of the lungs and of the brain, typhoid, whooping cough and scarlet fever.
Prairie life often left residents exposed to the elements, and accidents claimed lives in unusual wavs.
Then there was crime.
Here are a few examples of causes of death listed in the Oak Hill Cemetery register at the Watkins Community Museum of History:
■ Charles Day, member of a horse-stealing fraternity, shot by a posse in Linn County, July 21. 1860.
A priest, John Duerinck, 45, drowned in the Missouri River when his skiff overturned. Dec. 9.1857.
Dr. J.G. Evington, struck by lightning, May 26, 1859.
*Susan Goss, 4, and Mary Harlow, 29, died from cholera while traveling on the steamer "Star of the West" October. 1855.*
David Hoyt, 35, killed by pro-
slavery men. Aug. 12, 1856.
C. C. Rice, stabbed near the heart by Joseph Meyers in a claim dispute in the Kaw River bottom. Nov. 11, 1859.
Andrew Rodriguez, stabbed in an affray in Lecompton, April, 1858.
A. D. Roy died as a result of confinement in the Lecompton prison by pro-slavery men.

Blair Witch scary good; genre creeps into theaters
Kansan managing editor
This summer's sizzling horror films just might send chills up your spine.
Considering the wide selection of horror films bludgeoning the market, one can only wonder: Are we, as moviegoers, gluttons for punishment?
Recently released or soon-to-be released films of this genre include: Blair Witch Project, The Haunting, A Stir of Echoes, The Sixth Sense, Lake Placid and Deep Blue Sea. Believe it or not, there will even be a re-release of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre in the fall.
Ron Wilson, former professor of American pop culture of the 1960s and 1970s, said that horror films have always been popular.
Blair Witch Project is a good example.
"They purge your emotions and give you the visual pleasure of seeing events you would not normally see," Wilson said.
Moreover, recent film innovations are enhancing the pleasure. Wilson said.
"Here, we're combining cross

genrification of the horror film and the documentary," Wilson said. "I loved Blair Witch Project because it was so different and because it was all left to the imagination."
The imagination is where it's at, Wilson said. "That has the potential of inducing more fear than any amount of special effects can."
The Hunting, opening Friday, is a thriller publicized for its digitized special effects, Wilson said. However, he said he doubted that the remake of the 1963 Robert Wise film would be more frightening than its predecessor, in part because the first version left a lot up to the imagination.
"The difference is, when you have all the special effects coming at you, you know it's a movie. Where with Blair Witch Project, there are no special effects. It seems to be real," Wilson said. "You know at the beginning that the three students are missing; you know what's eventually going to happen, but you're drawn into their story through their camera."
Here's a rundown of a couple of movies coming our way.
Blair Witch Project
"On October 21, 1994, Heather Donahue, Joshua Leonard and Michael Williams hiked into Maryland's Black Hills Forest to shoot a documentary film about a local legend, The Blair Witch. They were never heard from again."
A year later, their footage was found.
With that thought in mind,
Blair Witch Project begins.
The film is marked by shaking camera views, lopsided photography and dialogue that is often heard without the actor being seen. Much of the filming is done while the cast is walking or running through the woods.
It's so real, or seems so real,
that by the time the movie ends
it's hard to believe it wasn't true.
Directed and written by Ed Sanchez and Dan Myrick, Blair Witch Project was shot in eight days, nearly 24 hours a day — without a script.

Star light, star bright, can the sky tell me if my life is right?
By Katie Burford
Kansan staff campus
Webster's Dictionary Web site defines astrology as "the divination of the supposed influences of the stars and planets on human affairs and terrestrial events by their positions and aspects." Its etymology dates to 14th century Greece.
What do you see? Your sign? The constellations that make up the night sky? LaToya Jackson and "The Psychic Hotline"?
OK, let's do a little free association. I write a word, and you say the first thing that comes to mind. Ready?
Astrology.
Some swear by it, some scoff at it, but few are without curiosity about this popular pseudoscience.
Astrologer Kacey Carlson of rural Leavenworth County is among the converted. She said that astrology functioned as a tool to assist people in better understanding themselves and
others.
A person's sign determines personality, she said. But other factors, such as the constellation that is on the horizon at the time of birth, are also important. There are 12 areas of experience represented by the horoscope wheel: identity, persona, financial resources, communication, family, love, sexuality work, career, philosophy, beliefs and relationships.
The first thing that Carlson does for people who come to her is diagram a natal chart based on the position of the planets at a person's time of birth.
To make a natal chart, it is necessary to know not only the date of birth, but also the time of birth, Carlson said, although there is a way to deduce the information for people who do not know their birth time.
Creating a natal chart requires some sophisticated calculations. Some people use a computer, but Carlson said she preferred to work the math by hand.

Carlson said that a computer couldn't replace what she does.
"It's like therapy," she said. "I give people tools to address issues in their lives. It's counseling. A good astrologer should be able to do that."
Carlson said that astrology was a useful instrument for examining long-term
decisions, while tarot card readings were better for short-term questions.
Students make up the major portion of her business. Carlson said.
Many, however, while curious, do not consult the zodiac when making major decisions.

Commentary
Is Lawrence haunted, or are they just ghost stories?
By Matthew Friedrichs Kansan editor
According to Cynthia Dahlberg, technical director at the theater, the ghost is not possessive or destructive. Instead, he waits in the wings behind the scenes, until late at night when only two or three people are in the building.
Ghostly footsteps, slamming doors, waylaid tools and swinging cables — it's not a production of The Phantom of the Opera. But some workers at the Lawrence Community Theatre, 1501 New Hampshire St., believe they share the building with a friendly ghost named Fred.
"There's always a theater ghost." Dahlberg said, "People say that they're
Danberg said. People dead actors that never got enough stage time."
Fred manifests himself in a number of ways. People have heard footsteps cross the floor above them while working in the basement. When they went up to check who made the noise, no one was there.
Matthew
Friedrichs
editor@kansan.com
Dahlberg once heard a thump and a sch. sch. A cable providing electricity to the portable lights used to illuminate sets had been wrapped securely around pipes above the stage but mysteriously disentangled itself and was swinging gently back and forth, lightly brushing the stage.
And fear is what keeps everyone interested in ghosts.
Dahlberg swears she heard the basement door slam one time — a noise that so nerved her, she and two other people searched the building with a hammer and a cordless screwdriver for protection.
Are the ghosts real?
are the ghosts. Keith Sevedge, a Kansas City, Kan., lawyer and Sigma Nu alumnus, researched the stories about Virginia in the late '70s and concluded they were not provable. He said sightings were probably a combination of repeated stories and noises made by an old house.
While Dahlberg readily agreed to share her stories, documented cases of ghosts and haunted houses in Lawrence are hard to find.
Closer to home, upperclassmen recount legends of a ghost scratching on the doors at Corbin Hall and Virginia, who walks the halls at Sigma Nu fraternity, 1501 Sigma Nu Place, to chill the bones of freshmen.
The Douglas County Historical Society had a few items about ghoulish and ghostly sightings in Lawrence, but Steven Jansen, Watkins Community Museum of History director, said most people don't like to share their stories because they don't want paranormal fans traiping across their lawns and bothering them in their homes.
A November 26, 1897, Lawrence World article titled "The ghost stalks abroad," tells of people avoiding a bridge northwest of town after dark because of a ghost reputed to be Lizzie Madden.
The next day, the paper suggested it might be the ghost of Pete Vinegar, a man lynched on the bridge in 1882.
Dahlberg admits that some of the "supernatural" happenings at the theater have simple explanations.
The many volunteers who circulate through the building could be the source of some misplaced tools. And a women's restroom door with a delayed close is also responsible for startling people.
But an explanation remains to be heard for the ghost haunting the old bridge.

HOROSCOPES
Aries
You need to express your inner feelings. By week's end your energy level should increase, and you'll start to feel like your old self again. Be yourself and draw energy from your personal convictions. Your social and professional style will open many new doors.
Taurus
Look past the present, and you'll be able to visualize your future prospects. Get ready for some serious sit-down negotiations. It's vital that you know what you want before the discussions begin. It may be challenging to do this, but you need to prepare yourself. A new friend's calming presence reminds you of life's greatest values.
Gemini
Try to be reasonable, even if the subject matter is intense. Push gently, prod delicately and make direct contact with those who've been avoiding you. It may take some time to build trust. When your vision and fire are tempered with compassion, your sensitivity is quite incredible. A delicate approach may help you focus your desires successfully.
Cancer
You may tend to associate more with artistic, innovative and eccentric friends. Your creative imagination will be energized, as a result. Place your trust in one with similar interests and goals. If something puzzles you, ask questions. An older, wiser head may be able to give counsel. Bask in wisdom's warming glow
Leo
Tonight, you are supercoool. Share your ideas. Your intuitive insights and healing energies can be used positively to help others as well as yourself. Open yourself to the karmic energy of the universe. Let it flow through your body and share it with others. Spend time outdoors and connect with the beauty of nature.
Virao
Are you ready to back up your words with action? If not, think twice before you unleash that devastating smile of yours. You could charm the birds out of the trees today. Once you take the first steps to understand your feelings, you'll be able to express yourself. You have the ability to listen, which can help others to see things clearer.
Your sense of justice causes you to stand up and fight for the underdog. Listen to what colleagues have to say, and treat decision making as a more cooperative process. You'll need all your charm and grace to turn this one around. You know what's needed; you have a plan, and everyone does his or her part.
Scorpio
Sagittarius
Libra
It's possible that you'll feel as if you're being attacked by someone on your own team. If you face this person directly, you may find that the truth isn't quite as bad as you thought. A kindly authority figure can help calm the situation and show you a reasonable way through the conflict.
Capricorn
C
I I
P
If you're willing to accept the possibility of change, the new events might prove to be good. Sit back, measure and plan your next move. Remember, if you're right, you can stay calm and still make your point.
Aquarius
2
Caution is needed in signing important papers and contracts. So much can be gained when your goals are clear in your mind. Choose any subject you like. Your caring tone and loving nature will make a difference in someone else's life. Keep your eye out for the person in the corner who may not be laughing.
Pisces
LION
No matter how gentle you feel, sometimes you can frighten others. They just don't feel comfortable with the depths of feeling that you call home. You can initiate someone into the power of their creativity with the power of your conviction. Bigger doors may open to you during the next few weeks.
You'll meet interesting people that will help you to broaden your horizons. Your personal magnetism and sex appeal will certainly give you an edge. There are sensitive people around you who are easily wounded by your force. You don't mean any harm, but sensitive souls sometimes can't handle your power.

The university said that during one week in November and two weeks between Thanksgiving and the end of the fall semester, coaches exceeded NCAA limitations on practice time by four to six hours a week.

DENVER — John Elway has teamed up with a pair of businessmen in a bid to buy the Denver Nuggets, the Colorado Avalanche and their future arena, The Denver Post reported today.
Coaches are allowed to hold practices for up to 20 hours a week.

LAKE FOREST, III. — The Chicago Bears today waived quarterback Erik Kramer, who became the Bears' all-time leading passer in his five years with the team.
Borgen is a Denver mutual fund entrepreneur. Gillette owns Vail,
However, that deal was sidelined after Ascent shareholders filed lawsuits asserting that the price was below market value and that former chairman Charlie Lyons sacrificed the interests of shareholders in negotiating a sweetheart deal for himself.
Kramer, 34, had last season cut short by knee and shoulder surgeries. He isn't fully recovered from rotator cuff surgery, which has limited his throwing in the off season.
NFL Bears throw out top passer after injuries
"It's a football decision," said Bears spokesman Bryan Harlan. He declined to elaborate further.
Kramer originally was signed as a free agent in 1994 from Detroit. He threw for 10,582 yards in 1,557 attempts with 63 touchdowns and 45 interceptions in his five seasons in Chicago.
The Bears now have four quarterbacks, including Jim Miller, Moses Moreno, Shane Matthews and unsigned first-round draft pick Cade McNown.

Eyes Wide Shut: sexual eye opener
By Rob Pazell
Kansan staff writer
(1)
Start with psychological sexual encounters; add Hollywood hotties Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman under the direction of late filmmaster Stanley Kubrick who brought us A Clockwork Orange, 2001: A Space Odyssey and Full Metal Jacket, and you end up with the steamy new film Eyes Wide Shut.
Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman engage in sexual mind games in Eyes Wide Shut. It was the last film that icon Stanley Kubrick directed before his death. Contributed Photo
It is the last offering from Kubrick, who died March 7 in his sleep on March of a heart attack, Eyes Wide Shut tackles many different sexual values, including martial discontent, prostitution and, above all, jealousy.
The movie stars Cruise as William Hartford, a successful Manhattan physician, married nine years to Alice Hartford, a homemaker who is portrayed by real-life spouse, Kidman. The film takes a turn when antagonist Alice describes a sexual dream to William involving her and another man, which sends William into a jealous quest for answers.
Kubrick uses plot devices similar to A Clockwork Orange to take us through a dark world of marital deceit, prostitution and a Shakepearean masquerade party turned erotic orgy, only to bring us right back through each situation.
The main issue of the movie involves William's jealousy, sparked by Alice's telling of a
dream in which she has sex with a sailor. Kubrick cleverly uses the dream as a flash in William's mind, and it pops up many times throughout the movie as the symbol of his jealousy. The vision is so powerful that William thinks that he needs to counter it. He runs into a prostitute on the street and follows her to her apartment — ironically reflecting Alice's erotic dream. Both situations are tempting but carry dark consequences.
Commentary
Kubrick shows that reacting to jealousy by cheating is rash and wrong. He also makes comparisons between the rich and the poor sexual worlds, conveying that sex plays a role in everyone's life. Regardless of economic or ethnic situation, everyone is susceptible to sexual degeneracy. Kubrick employs anecdotal situations and peripheral characters to tackle complex moral issues. He used the same strategy to address peace issues during the Vietnam War in Full Metal Jacket.
Running long and dragging at times, Eyes Wide Shut makes up for its length with its intriguing and often times shocking look at the world of sex and the role of everyone in it. See it with a significant other; keep an open mind, and remember Kubrick's words: "I have found it always the best policy to allow the film to speak for itself."
World music helps to narrow culture gaps
In the information-laden close of the 20th century, cultural barriers are about as asal as the average ska band's lineup. Technology and travel have narrowed borders, and some distinctly world music now is being produced right here in America.
Japanese duo Cibo Matto will be in Lawrence tomorrow on tour for their new album Stereotype A. Though the title references the ease with which the band might be pigeonholed into a Shonen Knife-style "cutesy Japanese girl pop" category, Cibo Matto shouldn't be mistaken for that, particularly after the new album.
Shifting away from the heavy hip-hop influence of the debut album Viva La Woman! 'Stereotype A' sees Cibo Matto run through a wide variety of musical genres, including funky
The lyrics of the songs tend to focus on relationships, with some considera-
numbers like "Lint of Love," slower, spacity tracks like "Spoon" and the novelty-ready horn-section rap of "Sci-Fi Wasabi," the album's first single.

neck Sunday.
Although the group hails from Athens, Ga., the genesis for Macha came when frontman Joshua McKay visited Indonesia. There he studied and recorded Gamelan troupes performances. After returning to the States, McKay formed a band. He ignored many rock conventions and instrumentation and instead attempted to capture the spirit of the Gamelan. The result is mostly instrumental music that is alternately sparse and cacophonous, usually slow and trance-like, but never dull or boring.
Eckert is a Towaco, N.J., junior in English.

Haunted house adds twist for insomniac experiment in film
By Rob Pazell
Kanson staff writer
The legendary mansion of Hill House sits majestically in the middle of the Berkshire Hills. Its gothic architecture and stunning sculptures decorate this aged beauty, which sits nine miles away from the nearest town. Inside this beauty, however, hides a beast and a gripping history that waits for its next unwary visitors. Eleanor Vance and her group of guests come to learn its story the hard way in The Haunting; a visually throttling remake of the 1963 horror classic, the Legend of Hill House.
Starring a stellar cast including Oscar-winner Liam Neeson, The Haunting takes you through a chilling ride complete with ghostly whispers, violent raps and terrifying objects that come to life.
The story finds Eleanor Vance, played by Lili Taylor, a depressed insomnia still bothered by the death of her mother, joins a test group conducted by Dr. David Marrow, portrayed by Neeson. Marrow takes Vance and the other members of her group, a narcissistic woman and a wiser cracking blonde man, to the haunted halls of Hill House to conduct an insomnia experiment. Vance, directed by a supernatural force, pieces clues together to learn the true story of the house and its deceased owner, who may not have decided to leave his house yet.
As Vance and others learn the true force in the house, it's difficult to sit still every time someone is left alone. Supernatural occurrences become
more frequent leading up to a thunderous climax, a showdown between Vance and the horrifying presence.
Foreshadowing plays a major role and may just be the best attribute of the storyline. We are taken through rooms filled with sculptures ranging from laughing children to monstrous birds — some of which give the unsure feeling that they will be alive later.
The movie's comical wisecracks and Vance's interesting companions balances out the heart-pounding scare scenes. Theo, portrayed by the sexy Catherine Zeta-Jones, suffers from not only insomnia but extreme narcissism, driving her to do a different outfit in every scene. Her bisexual references and funny little passes directed at Vance provide a '90s twist. Smart guy Luke Sanderson, played by Owen Wilson, tags on many cynical one-liners, which the house definitely doesn't approve of
Commentary
The visual effects deserve an A+ Statues come to life, and, at times, whole rooms molding into one shape puts it up into the visually fear-inducing class of Poltergeist and The Amityville Horror, two other classic haunted house flocks.
The Haunting may not be a movie that could drive you to nightmares, but stunning effects, a classic story, and — did I mention freaky status? — will give you the satisfaction of seeing it in a theater.

Wandering the Web
One page (www.noage.com/jfknetwork) gave me pause after Saturday's news that John F. Kennedy, Jr. was missing. It's called the JFK Network and is a celebration of the life and work of one of America's most beloved presidents. It was modified this weekend to reflect the sorrow shared by the editor and the nation that tragedy has once befallen Camelot. For many, John represented the possibility that his father's work could be continued by a new generation. But the torch has once more been passed. I hope that my generation may prove itself worthy of such a trust.
In keeping with this week's theme of the strange and unexplained, I set out to search the World Wide Web for as much weird stuff as I could find. In the course of that search, I looked for everything from abductions to conspiracy theories. (Hey, I'm an X-Files fan; I know what I'm looking for here!)
Now, on to the rest of my search results.

This is Fox-TV'S official X-Files Web site it includes pictures and biographies of cast members. There's an episode guide for those of you who haven't followed every season with religious zeal.

If you're interested in alien abduction accounts and other extraterrestrial phenomena without all the pesky plot and character development of television drama, this is the site for you. It has links for every sort of paranormal, otherworldly interest. It has links to science fiction as well as to NASA.
If you're tired of sending cheesy electronic greeting cards to everyone, why not send a virtual alien abduction greeting? This site allows visitors to send a virtual extraterrestrial greeting to friends and enemies alike. The catch is that to be released, the recipient has to forward the virtual abduction to someone else.

Astrology continues to entertain
Continued from page 1B
Todd Foos, Lawrence graduate student,
said that he frequently read his horoscope
in *Pitch Weekly* or the *Kansan*, but his reason
for doing so was usually entertainment.
"It's amusing because of the sweeping generalizations they make," he said. "But sometimes it's amazingly relevant."
He called the mechanism underlying horoscopes "the process of synchronicity," whereby people feel that what is written applies to them, but, in reality, it's just
coincidence.
Foos said that he had never considered getting a natal chart done.
Carlson said that people erroneously think that astrology is synonymous with fortunetelling. Her view is that astrology is a way to maximize one's potential by understanding one's essential nature.
While perspectives on astrology vary widely, it is unlikely that its prevalence in the populace's collective consciousness will abate any time soon.

Scary summer fare not hack material
Continued from page 1B
In an online movie review, Myrick said that three or four times a day, the directors would write notes to each of the three cast members, sealing them in tubes so that the actors could only read their parts. They were not allowed to discuss their notes with each other. They were given the outline of the story and made up most of their lines as they went along.
The actors not only starred in the movie, they also filmed it.
Myrick said the cast was given a crash course in film production just before they headed out into the woods laden with film equipment and basic camping supplies including food, water and a tracking device. Also, Myrick said that the cast was never in contact with the crew during the filming.
The result? It's an improvisation that works.It's the frighteningly simple bare essentials that make the difference — screams that break the silence of the night, mysterious stacks of rocks waiting outside the tent in the mornings,and something bloody tied to a bundle of sticks after somebody disappears.
Suffice it to say that Blair Witch Project is a movie you have to see for yourself. But once in a while you may have to look away from the screen while your heartbeat slows
and you remind yourself:"It's just a movie." It is just a movie."
A Stir of Echoes
This upcoming summer horror flick stars Kevin Bacon as a man who, after being hypnotized by his sister-in-law at a party, discovers he has extrasensory perception. He already has a young son who hears voices and sees someone who isn't there. Now the father joins the ranks. Is his house haunted? Is he really seeing someone who isn't there? Or is he going crazy?
At one point, this movie has the taste of a Close Encounters of the Third Kind scene, the one where Richard Dreyfuss plays with his mashed potatoes. In A Stir of Echoes, Kevin Bacon becomes equally obsessed and starts digging holes — big holes — in his backyard. There's something there, somewhere, he knows. But where is it? And what is it, or who is it?
Further, his wife can't understand why her husband stops going to work and starts tearing up the vard.
A Stir of Echoes is based on the novel by Richard Matheson. It's a haunted house story, it's a ghost story and it's a story that's bound to haunt you for a while. It just might prove to be a movie that you don't want to think about when it's late at night and you're turning out the light.

Press box progress visible; first game a question mark
(USPS 650-640)
By Matthew Friedrichs
Korean editor
Kansan editor
A new scoreboard is going up quickly, and the press box at Memorial Stadium could be finished in time for the first home football game Sept. 11 against Cal State Northridge.
Bob Frederick, athletics director, expressed optimism yesterday, when asked about the progress.
"This past Friday, I was really encouraged," Frederick said. "I had gone the previous Friday and was sort of discouraged."
Work on the $13 million press box has sped up since the Athletics Department received permission to offer Walton Construction Co. of Kansas City, Mo., a $300,000 incentive to
complete the project in time for the first home game.
Frederick said the press box would not have been usable for the first game if the Athletics Department had not been able to agree to a new construction schedule and to the financial incentives with Walton.
While the interior might not be complete on Sept.11, the media will be able to cover the game, and alumni and corporations with suites will able to watch the game from the press box
"I think we're going to make it now," Frederick said. "I think it's going to be occupiable the first game."
During a July 21 walking tour with Pa Warren, assistant athletics director, signs of
London
slow but steady construction progress were everywhere.

Dust coated the bare concrete interior, and workers filled the four levels of the press box installing dry wall, glazing windows, wiring electrical systems and plumbing future bathrooms.
The layouts of the press area, broadcast booths and 36 scholarship suites were easy to see. But the bathrooms didn't have fixtures. The floors were without carpets. The dry wall needed to be taped, finished and painted. The cabinets had not been installed. There was no furniture. And the entire box was stifling hot because the windows had not been finished, and the air conditioning was not turned on.
Despite the heat in the work area, construction continued through the weekend, Warren said yesterday.
Frederick said that the Athletics Department is aggressively selling the suites.
As of yesterday, 24 of the suites had confirmed buyers, and the Williams Fund, the Athletics Department's fund-raising organization, was negotiating with other potential users.
Frederick said that the construction delays had less of an affect on leasing the suites than a recent Internal Revenue Service ruling enabling donors to deduct some of the suite costs.
Workers also have been building the frame for a new $2.5 million scoreboard in the south end zone.
Warren said the pieces for the 24 foot by 32 foot video board, which will show replays and features about the Kansas football team and the Athletics Department, arrived last week and should be installed sometime this week.

said Saran Crumrine, All Scholarship Hall Council president. "I hope we have a lot of our residents go to the meeting and see what it's about." Crumrine said. Seibel said the meeting wouldn't fit in any of the scholarship halls so Smith Hall was chosen as a compromise. All students, not only the students living near Senate meetings, are invited to every Senate meeting and may speak to the assembled senators during the open forum portion of the meeting, said Marlon Marshall, Studex chairman.

Aaron Hale Culwell's explanation did not sit well with Judge Paula Martin.
In a written statement, Culwell claimed that the swastika he burned in the carpet of the third-floor hallway at Oliver Hall on March 18 was just a "harmless prank." Martin told Culwell that his crime was neither harmless nor a prank.
"You set a fire in a building occupied by many people; you destroyed University property," the Douglas County District judge said at his sentencing hearing Friday. "You chose a swastika, a symbol of the Nazi party. How did you think this would be perceived?"
Culwell, St. Francis freshman,
was convicted of arson, a level 7 non-person felony, for arranging tissue paper in the form of a wasstika and setting it on fire.
According to Kansas sentencing guidelines, arson carries the presumption of probation if the convicted person has no prior criminal history. Culwell did not have a record.
He will be on probation for two years. If he fails to meet any of the conditions of his probation, he will go to prison for one year.Martin also sentenced Culwell to 30 days in jail beginning at 4 p.m. that day and ordered him to pay $1,081 in restitution to the University.
The conditions of his probation require him to be a full-time student or find full-time employment. Martin had ordered Culwell to begin his jail time
immediately after the hearing, but his attorney, James Rumsey, said that Culwell had an appointment with the University's admissions office at 1:30 p.m.
A disciplinary meeting, attended by University officials, Culwell and his attorney, was held on July 1. The University's code of conduct prohibits those present from publicly releasing the results of the meeting, said James R. Kitchen, dean of students and associate vice chancellor for academic affairs.
In a statement, Kitchen said,
"This was a rare and shameful incident that certainly is not representative of our many fine students. The University will never tolerate such behavior and will take appropriate action."
Martin told Culwell that he had done nothing but minimize his
After learning that he would spend 30 days in jail, Culwell said, "I didn't intend to try to give any justification for what I did."
actions and that he continued to display a complete lack of understanding.
"The court can not sentence you to gain understanding, knowledge or sensitivity," she said.
He said that in his written statement he had only attempted to explain what was going on in his head at the time of the crime. "I never attempted to make an excuse," he said.
Culwell will also be required to pay court costs. During his probationary period, he must abstain from using drugs or alcohol, report regularly to his probation officer and submit to random drug testing.

SEX made you look stion whether sex in advertising works
Experts question whether sex in advertising works
By Katie Burford
Kansan campus editor
Whether you are tuned into the tube SEX, driving down the road SEX, listening to the radio SEX, or surfing the Internet SEX, everyone wants to sell you something.
So is the old axiom that sex sells still true?
"It can get attention — cut through the clutter — but it can't sell," said Bob Basow, associate professor of journalism who teaches marketing and the mass media. "Actually, it's quite the opposite," he said.
And they are using SEX,
SEX, SEX to get you to

"Look at the beer business," he said. "What's your favorite beer ad?"
they are useless unless they make us remember the right brand.
The one with the frogs, of course.
"Do you remember what brand of beer that was for?" he asked.
Couldn't remember it.
"What about the ad with the Swedish bikini team? What brand was that for?" he asked, referring to a 1991 beer ad campaign that featured scantily clad women.
Sure. Bud-weis-er.
Gordon Pullener is:
"Exactly," Basow said. (It was Stroh's.)

KU recognized as a top school by Kaplan
A nationwide survey of high school guidance counselors has listed the University of Kansas as one of the top schools for the learning disabled.
The Kaplan Newsweek College Catalog 2000, published this summer, cited the University for its superior programs and services.
KU also was recognized as a top school for athletic programs and for offering the best value per tuition dollar.
"Midwestern guidance counselors say that KU is a 'big school with a much smaller feel' because of the personal attention given to each student," the Kaplan catalog reported.
KU's office for students with disabilities aids nearly 500 students each semester who request assistance. About 160 have learning disabilities. The University does not waive any admissions or graduation requirements for students with disabilities, including learning disabilities.
The Kaplan Newsweek College Catalog reviews and rates more than 1,100 colleges and universities in the United States.
Students with learning disabilities focus for KU
With a new federal grant, a team of researchers at the University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning will focus on ensuring that students with learning disabilities can earn a high school diploma.
"We're concerned about students who are failing. We want to find things we can do to help them succeed," said Donald D. Deshler, one of four principal researchers on the project, which is funded by the U.S. Department of Education. The grant provides $700,000 annually for five years.
The team — Deshler, Jean Schumaker, Janis Bulger and Keith Zelnant — want to develop methods to help teachers recognize how students with learning disabil-
ties learn and how to engage those students in wanting to learn.
Deshler is the director and Schumaker is the associate director of KU's Center for Research on Learning.
Native-American art experts to judge show
Two authorities on Native-American art have been chosen to judge the entries in the 11th Annual Lawrence Indian Arts Show juried competition at the University of Kansas Museum of Anthropology in Spooner Hall.
Margaret Archuleta, Phoenix, and Ruthe Blalock Jones, Muskogee, Okla., will judge the juried show and sale, one of six that will take place during the annual art show, Sept. 11 through Oct. 24 at the museum.
Archuleta is the curator of fine art at the Heard Museum in Phoenix. She has curated exhibitions such as "Shared Visions: Native-American Painters and Sculptors in the Twentieth Century."
Jones serves as the director of the Bacone College art department in Muskogee, Okla. A practicing artist, Jones uses a wide range of utensils including oil, acrylic, pen and ink and original printmaking.

Dog trainer offers tips at Borders book signing
Sandy Butler, author of "Train Your Dog in One Hour," will do a training demonstration, sign books and answer questions at 7 p.m. Aug. 5 at Borders Books and Music, 700 New Hampshire St.
NATION
Butler, who made a similar appearance on Feb. 25, developed a talent for training dogs after owning a candy store in Colorado that was next to an animal shelter. She said that frustrated dog owners often would ask her to watch their pets until the shelter opened.
Athletes bring violation of privacy against Web sites
Butler offered to train the dogs in one hour or less if the owners promised to keep the animals rather than leave them at the shelter.
CHICAGO — Athletes at eight universities claim that they were secretly video-taped in locker rooms, and that the tapes were sold through Internet sites advertising "hot young dudes."
Louis Goldstein, one of the attorneys representing the athletes in a lawsuit, said Tuesday that he has eight tapes and believes the practice of secretly taping athletes in locker rooms is widespread.
"There's a whole industry," he said. "They send people all over the country to do videotaping."
The tapes, with names such as "Straight Off the Mat" and "Voyeur Time," began to come to light in April, when the Chicago Tribune reported that hidden-camera tapes — including footage taken during a 1995 wrestling tournament at Northwestern University — were being marketed online and by mail.
Hidden-camera videos are also known to have been made at Illinois State University, Eastern Illinois University and the University of Pennsylvania, Goldstein said.
The lawsuit, filed Monday in Cook County Circuit Court, alleges invasion of privacy, unlawful use of the plaintiffs' images for monetary gain, and mail and wire fraud under the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act.
David Sobel, general counsel for the Electronic Privacy Information Center in Washington, said the Communications Decency Act gives Internet service providers immunity from responsibilities for what their customers put on their Web sites.
"I think the law goes a little further than it probably ought to in shielding ISP's, particularly in cases where they have knowledge of what's there," he said. "It's a little ironic in a case like this that it's a law called the Communications Decency Act."

Regents elect KU professor as executive director
By Ronnie Wachter
Kansan staff writer
The Board of Regents on Thursday named professor Kim Wilcox, former chairman of the department of speech-language-hearing, as its new executive director. Wilcox had been serving since May 30 as interim executive director of the board, which coordinates the operations of Kansas' universities and other learning institutions.
Wilcox said he was excited about the opportunity he had been given by the Board.
"Higher education is at a crossroads in Kansas," he said. "The Board's expanded role offers an unprecedented opportunity for college, school and universities to cooperatively build on our state's strong tradition of quality post-secondary education."
Tom Hutton, director of University Relations, said that Wilcox's hiring was something the school could be proud of.
"That's obviously the highest compiment the University can have," Hutton said. "Dr. Wilcox had an outstanding career here, and I'm certain he'll have an outstanding career on the Board as well."
Wilcox is the first full-time executive director of the Board since the number of schools it oversees was expanded. The Board was created to direct Kansas' six universities, but was recently given charge of the state's vocational and technical schools along with its community colleges.
Wilcox served in several positions at the University before being hired by the Board of Regents. Besides being a professor in the department of speech-language-hearing, he was a co-director of the intercampus program in communicative disorders and director of the Native-American training program.
Wilcox worked with Chancellor Robert Hemenway during the 1997-98 school year as special counsel for Initiative 2001, a project designed to plan what University life will be like in 25 years. Wilcox then joined the Board in August of 1998 as interim director of academic affairs.
Diane Loeb replaced Wilcox as acting chairman of the department of speech-language hearing.

in business who teaches marketing, said that sex in advertising could be used to get the attention of certain markets.
"Classically it has been used to appeal to young males," she said.
Tr ILe, Omaha, Neb, senior, said that sexy ads got his attention.
"Yeah, I think it helps a lot to have a beautiful woman," he said. "If I'm flipping through the channels, I will definitely stop."
He said that while the image might get him to consider a product, it wouldn't get him to buy the product.
Shauntie Blue, Lee Summit, Mo. senior and Kansan business manager, said that sex was not used extensively by the paper's advertisers.
"Lawrence is a conservative town." she said.
Ads for strip clubs or bars holding wet T-shirt contests are the exceptions. Blue said.
But Claterbos said titillating images can backfire on those who use them.
"It can be a very difficult ad component to control," she said. "Take Obsession perfume. It created so much controversy that it probably turned off a substantial number of its potential costumes."
Sexy can easily be perceived as sexist. Claterbos said.
Sex in ads could even land a company in court. Female employees sued Stroh's alleging that the bikini ad created an atmosphere conducive to sexual harassment.
"Sex in advertising is declining as the sole appeal in the advertising," she said. "Or at least it's used more subtly than in the past — you don't just drape pretty women across an automobile."
Basow agreed.
"If you buy cologne, you're buying a smell, not sex," he said.
But if it's not working, why is it still so ubiquitous?
"You can't assume if you see it that it's working." Basow said. "Advertisers aren't really sure what works."

StudEx says no to more graduate representation
By Matthew Friedrichs
Kansan editor
The Student Senate Student Executive Committee (StudEx) will not guarantee a third graduate student representative at its meetings.
StudEx makes decisions about Senate agendas and passes legislation when school is not in session.
Partha Mazumdar, chairman of the graduate affairs committee, introduced a bill that would have added the chairman of the Graduate Executive committee—the committee that makes decisions about the graduate affairs committee's agenda and meetings—to StudEu as a voting member.
The vote on July 21 failed.
"I think it's obvious that the Student Senate executive staff has little regard for graduate students."
tives on the current StudEx, but all of the 11 StudEx voting members potentially could be graduate students if graduate students were elected to positions that fill the StudEx seats.
Mazumdar's legislation would have increased the size of the group to 12.
The chairmen and chairwomen of the five Senate standings committees, the student body president and vice president, the three student SenEx members and a chairman compose StuEx.
graduate affairs committee chairman
"I voted for the whole student body." Maxwell said.
"There are two seats reserved for graduate students," Walker said. "That, to me, is enough."
"I think it's obvious that the Student Senate executive staff has little regard for graduate students," Mazumdar said.
Korb Maxwell, student body president, disagreed. Maxwell voted against having the GradEx chairman on the committee and said the position did not make sense.
Partha Mazumdar
Mazudar and Amy Cummins, graduate student senator and representative to the University Senate Executive Committee (SenEx), are the two graduate representa-
Ben Walker, SenEnX representative, agreed with Maxwell's vote against adding another graduate student seat.
Cummins argued in favor of adding the seat. She noted that every graduate student at one time had been an undergraduate She also said that graduate students at KU received that the
were left out and that the elimination of GradEx representation on StudEx proved the point.
A vote in favor of Mazumdar's legislation would have reversed a decision StudEx made when its members voted to eliminate the GradEx chairman as a voting member in June because the inclusion of the GradEx member was inconsistent with the University Senate Code.
Student Senate bills fail to pass StudEx if they don't receive a majority of votes. The vote on Magudar's bill failed at 5-5.
Marlon Marshall, StudEx chairman, could vote to break a tie either to pass or fail a bill, but he declined to vote on Mazumdar's legislation.
Scoring a bull's-eye more than just a wink

Attraction equation no simple formula of looks and charm
Tall, dark or handsome... does it really matter?
By Lisa John
Kansan managing editor
Common sense says it shouldn't, but depending on who you ask, it might be important.
Dennis Dailey, professor of social welfare, diagraphed a bull's-eye on a chalkboard during a spring lecture. The innermost circle is an "attraction template," he said. This is the "thing" that draws us to another person from across a crowded room.
It's about looks, but it's not just about looks, Dailey said. It's the whole package.
Further, relationships are more likely to succeed when each person fits into the other's attraction template.
Shawn Henry, Ottawa sophomore, said the first thing he notices is hair.
Different people describe their own attraction templates in different ways.
"I like nice hair, short, parted down the middle, preferably blond," he said. "She doesn't have to be thin — it's preferred, but it's OK if she's not."
Henry said that after first appearances, eye contact is important, as is being a friendly and fun person.
Dennis Hermreck, Garnett junior, said first impressions matter.
"I'd be lying if I said that it didn't have something to do with physical attraction — at least initially," he said.
The perfect look? According to Hermreck, "It's a nice ensemble of characteristics. One is not so important that it outweighs the others."
As far as personality, Hermreck said he looks for someone who is intelligent, sincere and honest. "Also, someone who's not wildly moody," he said. "Just someone who is usually in a good mood and enjoyable to be with."
Sara Nelson, lola junior, said that it's not specific physical characteristics, but rather a person's confidence that draws her in.
"If someone smiles and makes eye contact, you can tell that they are confident with themselves," Nelson said. "Sometimes it's also reflected in the way they carry themselves."
Susan Mackie, Ottawa sophomore, said there are no specific physical characteristics that she looks for. "It's just whatever my whim of the moment is," she said
Personality traits she looks for are a sense of humor and intelligence.
more important, Mackie said, is the sharing that comes from having the same sorts of values and goals in life.
"I think the ability to listen is important, too." Mackle said.
As is openness. "I have a hard time dealing with people when I don't feel that they're being open
with me, " she said

it's not really important.

Professor emeritus questions KU no-discrimination claim
A KU administration statement appearing in the July 23 Laurence Journal-World referred to the swastika arson as a rare incident that the University will never tolerate since the safety and wellbeing of all its students, faculty and staff is a top priority.
Commentary
The credibility of this statement should be weighed against the recent lawsuits filed by diverse ethnic and racial minority faculty. These people have charged persistent patterns of bigoted slander, job discrimination and harassment, and, in one case, repeated instances of assault and battery, despite complaints to the KU administration.
I joined the KU faculty in 1970. A year later, I became a consultant on ethnicity and race to the U.S. Department of Justice, Community Relations Service. I've been a party to numerous investigations and talks regarding racial and ethnic harassment at KU and can attest that these are a longstanding and frequently obscured part of KU history. Most obscured has been the
history of intimidation, including death threats against campus Jews.
I will do my best to provide a faithful representation of the image. The provided image is too blurry and low resolution to accurately recognize any text or details. Therefore, no text can be extracted from it.
The populist roots in the Kansas small town and rural areas are still strong. The Kansas style of discourse is
Norm Foren
Guest columnist
forthright, earthy, friendly and disdainful of class and authoritarian snobbery. Kansans are community conscious and generally insist on fairness.
I know this through involvement in rural issues with the Department of Justice and through my son, Bob, a KU graduate who works as county prosecutor in predominantly rural Labette County.
These traditional values are a
precious legacy and a worthy model for our country in the current period of hedonistic individualism. I believe that the academic task of the University should emphasize these values.
I view the present campus ethnic and racial conflicts as a continuation of conflicts during the past 30 years to advance fair play involving aggrieved KU constituencies such as teaching assistants, librarians, buildings and grounds employees, foreign students, women, gays and lesbians and, of course, the ever-suffering students and faculty.
I've been there in virtually all of these struggles, and I've observed that out of the conflict our dear KU has emerged stronger and more creative. So, we can afford to be on the level in addressing embarrassing issues. Our academic integrity and the people of Kansas demand it.

Hard-core traditionalists blithely endure smell of fermented herring
The Associated Press
SKAGSHAMN, Sweden Fermented herring is the national dish Swedes love to hate.
Enthusiasts savor the subtle taste, but most people turn their noses up at the dish's overpowering aroma. Some liken it to unwashed feet or ripe compost.
"Nothing would make me come close to a fermented herring. It stinks like a decomposed cheese," says Pia Heckscher. "I have never tried it."
The taste is milder than the smell, and the annual harvest is a cause for celebration among connoisseurs.
"It is an important part of the Swedish cuisine," says Otto Ekdal, chef at the Tennstopet restaurant in downtown Stockholm. "It is one of the few traditions left in our country."
He has his own tradition. The third Thursday of August is "Fermented Herring Day" at the restaurant. The event usually is fully booked.
"Surtroemming" — literally sour herring in Swedish — has been part of Swedish summers for centuries. The silvery herring are caught in the Baltic Sea in April and May, fermented in June, canned in July. And eating begins in August.
These days, fermentation takes place in plastic containers instead of wooden barrels. Otherwise, the process is little changed since the 17th century when fermented herring went south to Europe as war rations for Sweden's conquering armies.
The best fermented herring comes from less fatty fish carrying roe. They're placed in brine for about 36 hours, then transferred to barrels with a lower salinity so fermentation
continues at a slower rate. As that happens, the aroma grows stronger.
The wind blowing inland carries a powerful message that the dish soon will be ready to eat.
Nationwide, production is about 1.2 million cans a year. An approximately one-pound can holds about a dozen sardine-sized herring and sells for about 25 kronor ($3).
inate summer come picnics where surstroemming is the main course. It's usually served with red onions and almond potatoes, and washed down with aquavit, beer or milk.
It's the smell that sets fermented herring apart from other traditional Swedish dishes.
Even those who love the taste often open a can of surstroemming at arm's length and immediately douse the contents with soda water.

House gets charity make over
Decorators, artists prepare interior for public tours
By Lisa John
Kansan managing editor
Karla Nathan stretches on tiptoe to reach the uppermost leaves of a tree she is painting on a mural in the second-story bathroom in the red brick mansion at 1613 Tennessee. Yellow buds of a forsythia peek from behind a radiator, and purple iris blooms on tall stems hover near the white pedestal sink.
The red brick mansion at 1613 Tennessee is home to more than 20 designers through September. The 138-year-old home is commonly known as the Maupin house. Photo by Jamie Roper/KANSAN
Nathan is one of about 20 area decorators preparing for Designers' Showcase, working to bring back the luster of the 138-year-old. 21-room house.
The Designers' Showcase is sponsored by Cottonwood, Inc., an organization that assists people who have developmental disabilities. Kesha Larson, director of communications, said the house would be open for public tours in September and October as a fund-raiser for Cottonwood.
1904
The designers have been working on the event for more than two years.
"The owners of the house, Terry and Elaine Reardon, came to us with the idea." Larson said. "I immediately contacted members of the Kansas City Symphony, who had been doing this for 30 years."
Their advice helped.
"Those ladies took us under their wings and showed us everything they knew." Larson said.
This month when the Reardons moved out of the house into temporary quarters, the action began. On July 19, decorators, painters and carpenters went to work.
By midweek, it was clear that changes were in progress. Amid the wet paint, ladders and equipment, the visions of the decorators were emerging.
In each area of the house, an easel sports the designers' plans, including fabrics to be used on furniture and windows, carpet samples, paint colors and pictures of furniture.
"The designers are donating their time and talents," Larson said. "The kitchen is the only thing that's separate. Kitchens by Kleweno in Kansas City is doing that at a discounted rate for the homeowners."
In the dining room Wednesday, Markie Bieri, owner of Imagine That Designs, balanced on an eight-foot-tall ladder, sponging gold paint onto the ceiling. Working from another ladder across the room was her friend, Jeannene Wyatt of Ranchview Floral, Overland Park, who is volunteering to help Bieri. Jennifer Catlin, owner of Two Girls and a Brush, Lawrence, sat cross-legged on the floor applying a fresh coat of ivory paint to the wainsoot.
Bieri said that three layers of flooring were removed before the original floor was revealed
— a hardwood painted ivory and decorated with painted red Cupids, cats, birds and horses.
"I have no idea who painted this, but what I like about it is it's very whimsical," Bieri said. She said she planned the new decor using the ivory and reds.
In the viewing room, David Gawell, stood on a ladder and dipped his brush in ivory paint to repaint the molding around a window.
"When I first moved to town 12 years ago, this house was one of the first things that I noticed. My friends told me it was the Maupin house and that I'd never get to see the inside of it." he said. "And here I am."
Gawell, who works for Painted Ambient Co., Lawrence, praised the workmanship of the house.
"If there were a tornado coming through the center of Lawrence, I'd feel safe here," he said. "They built these things to last forever."
Nathan, the artist who was painting bathroom mural, said she became involved with the project when she volunteered to help. "I ended up getting a room to do." she said.
The bathroom she's redecorating is not an ordinary bathroom. The 9-by-9 foot space directly above the front porch includes four windows that
stretch from floor to ceiling. A chandelier hangs below a plaster medallion, and ornate woodwork outlines the room. The ceilings are 14 feet.
Nathan plans to furnish the room with an antique hamper she bought at a garage sale, a cabinet and a canvas floor cloth that she said will look like a garden pond with stepping stones.
She smiles as she speaks of the activity going on in the house. Like many of the others working there, Nathan's clothes and skin are paint-spattered, but that doesn't dampen her spirits.
"It's pretty exciting to be involved in a project like this.
Every time I come here, I see something new that's been done." she said
The key for success in a project like this, said Julee Travis, Cottonwood committee coordinator, is flexibility.
"It's giving the designers enough freedom to create a really spectacular display for the public to see, but at the same time trying to protect the history and integrity of the house." Travis said.
Known to local historians as the Ludington-Thacher home, the house will be open for public viewing from Sept. 24 through Oct. 17. For information about tickets and tours, call 840-1604.

The disks, worth $1 million, were scattered on the ground and crushed by a steamroller at a dump site outside Moscow. The seizure, made earlier this month, equaled the number of disks confiscated all last year, officials said.
Roush is a Lawrence senior in journalism.
MOSCOW — Police destroyed 500,000 counterfeit computer disks Tuesday in an attempt to show the Russian government's commitment to combating software piracy.
"We have been gradually moving from pinpoint strikes on retail traders to operations against wholesale dealers, and this is our largest action ever," said Alexei Sidorov, an expert with the Russian Anti-Software Piracy Association, an association set up by computer companies to help police track pirates.
The public destruction was aimed at demonstrating that police are committed to the fight against pirates, who are believed to control 90 percent of the Russian software market and cost Western firms and the government hundreds of millions of dollars a year.
Authorities in Moscow seize, destroy software
Authorities say a pirated disk costs 25 cents to manufacture and is typically sold for $2. Most are manufactured in nations like Ukraine and Bulgaria and smuggled across the border, although some are produced locally.
The Associated Press
The disks — including computer games and Windows 98 software — were seized by agents posing as buyers from a Moscow-based company that police say is one of Russia's biggest pirates. The company denied owning the disks, which a court ordered destroyed.
POLice say that a lack of resources and convoluted Russian laws make it extremely hard to prosecute suspected pirates.
"Our goal is to make their life as unpleasant as we can," said a police officer with the Interior Ministry's special anti-pirate squad, who identified himself only as Alexander Yuryevich, refusing to give his last name.

Racing in a whole new direction
Run Lola Run chases fresh cinematic insights
Anybody suffering from digital effects overkill? Many of this summer's releases have relied a bit too heavily on computer-generated creatures, critters, beasts and brutes to breathe new life into tired Hollywood cliches.
From George Lucas's overwhelmingly detailed, almost cartoonish Phantom Menace to Wild Wild West's humorless, pointless, mechanized spider to the seemingly endless parade of new B-films featuring snakes, alligators, sharks, aliens and Samuel L. Jackson, Hollywood is obviously having difficulty outdoing itself each summer.
Jan De Bont's absolutely dreadful remake of The Haunting is a new low, throwing in enough silly, digitized mayhem to render the original story (very frightening, believe it or not) completely worthless.
Hollywood filmmakers could learn quite a bit from 41-year-old German director Tom Tykwer. He has combined special effects, camera tricks and delirious pacing to actually advance his story. He integrates the camera as one of the film's central characters, without pandering to the audience. A novel concept, no doubt, yet one seemingly foreign to mega-budget producers and directors.
Tykwer's summer release, *Run Lola Run*, is a stylish, manic, speedball of a movie, with a wry sense of irony and a passion for life that outshines films with 50 times the budget. Tykwer takes what, in lesser Hollywood hands, could have been a story completely devoid of any passion and infuses it with the personal joys and pains of everyday life.
Movie review
He contemplates the missed chances and utter grief that accompany life's difficult situations as well as the sheer beauty and pure elation of happier, less common moments. And there are some cool car crashes, too.
The strength of Run Lola Run is Tykwer's realization that no medium is more perfectly suited to the exploration of alternate universes than film. Imagine if you would have left the house 30 seconds earlier. Would you have received that speeding ticket on your way to school? What if you had decided not to go dancing one night? Would you have met your significant other? Clearly unable to answer such questions ourselves, these problems can be endlessly explored on celluloid. Tykwer cleverly plays devil's advocate, exploiting cinematic tricks to give the audience not one, but three possible outcomes to his story.
As the film begins, we meet Lola, an athletic girl with a shock of deep pink hair, as she receives a life-changing phone call. It is her boyfriend Manni, a small-time hood, saying that he will be killed in 20 minutes unless she can come up with 100,000 German marks. Lola instantly takes off, not sure of what to do, but absolutely determined to save Manni.
True to the film's title, she runs endlessly through German streets, unsatisfied with anything but complete resolution. In the meantime, Manni decides that he will rob a grocery store if Lola does not arrive in time. Will she make it?
While this is essentially all there is to the plot, Tykwer gamely explores the possibilities with an invigorating energy. Not content to stick to one style, he has formulated
the film's action from a remarkably divergent palette. We are treated to countless edits, sped-up and slowed-down film stocks, even animation. In one of the film's more inspired tricks, any minor character whom
Lola encounters while running in the streets is given his or her own future storyline, just a few unexpected photographs flashed on screen to foresee an entire lifeline.
While reliance on these cinematic sleights-of-hand may seem depersonalized and cold, they enhance the immediacy of Lola's situation. We are there, running right behind Lola, a slight bit

confused, but determined to reach a solution by any means necessary.
There is a pureness of purpose to Lola that instantly allows us into this frantic, harried world. Actress Franka Potente blazes as Lola. Whether gleeful, terrified or forlorn, her strong physical features coordinate the integrity and intensity in her eyes.
Some may remember Sliding Doors with Gwenneth Paltrow, a film that explored similar themes and reminded us that every action we take has consequences, no matter how small the detail. Yet where that film ultimately saw fate as having an interconnected hand in the future, Run Lola Run contemplates a world filled with endless possibilities. What makes Run Lola Run so entertaining is the life-affirming quality of just such an examination.

Survey says people clueless about credit
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Americans are saving money for down payments and finding homes they can afford in record numbers. But a recent survey says that many are fairly clueless about the vital link between one's credit record and one's chances of getting a home mortgage.
Released by government-chartered mortgage giant Fannie Mae, the survey revealed that only two in five Americans understand that if they continually fail to pay bills on time, they will have major problems getting lenders' approval for a mortgage.
This lack of awareness is emerging just as other obstacles to home ownership, such as the inability to save for a down payment and racial discrimination, are crumbling, Fannie Mae officials said.
The nation's home ownership rate rose to a near-record 66.7 percent in the first three months of this year. It set records for African Americans and Hispanic Americans, reflecting low interest rates and low unemployment.
Franklin Raines, Fannie Mae's chairman and chief executive officer, said the company's annual housing survey depicts a vibrant mortgage marketplace marked by high levels of consumer confidence and satisfaction with the home mortgage process.
But he added, "A shadow falling
across the otherwise positive news is how many Americans don't fully comprehend the relationship between paying bills late, having bad credit, and experiencing difficulties in qualifying for a mortgage. This is a problem the mortgage industry needs to address."
In Fannie Mae's nationwide survey of 1,812 adults, 41 percent of respondents said being more than 90 days late paying utility bills three times or more in recent years would be a major problem in getting a mortgage. Thirty-two percent said it would be a minor problem, but 18 percent said it would not be a problem.
The survey disclosure comes at a time when more people have been getting so deeply in debt they have filed for bankruptcy. Despite the strong economy, the number of Americans filing personal bankruptcies last year reached a record 1.4 million, up more than 300 percent since 1980.
Some experts blame soliciting by the credit card industry and the easy availability of credit in general for the apparent lack of understanding of the consequences of a bad credit record.
Efforts to educate consumers must compete with the most aggressive marketing campaign in the world by credit card companies that send out billions of solicitations a year, said Stephen Brobeck, executive director of Consumer Federation of America.

HUTCHINSON — Gus Grissom's space capsule has landed once again — at a Kansas museum.
Several large cranes lifted the Liberty Bell 7 into the Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center Monday morning, where it will undergo a thorough cleaning and restoration before being displayed to the public.
The capsule spent 38 years at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean before it was recovered from waters off Florida last week. It will rest in a tank for about two weeks with a constant flow of fresh water to remove the salt and to prevent further corrosion, said Jeff Ollenburger, vice president of marketing for the Cosmosphere.
Truck driver Max Davis of Mineral Point, Mo., drove the capsule the 1,550 miles from Port Canaveral, Fla.
"There were a lot of people driving alongside taking pictures of it," Davis said. "The favorite hand sign was like 'ding-dong' like they were ringing a bell; and five fingers and two, for 7; and 'is that it?' After the truck pulled into the Cosmosphere parking lot, restoration
workers opened spouts to let the green, murky water shoot out the bottom of the container to decrease the weight for moving it inside.
Once cranes had lifted the capsule into the Cosmosphere's loading bay, workers hooked up a garden hose and began refilling the container with fresh water to begin the flushing process.
The 50 to 60 people who gathered to watch the unloading were allowed a peek inside two coolers filled with artifacts brought up with the capsule. One contained the dye marker that was to show the spot where the capsule splashed down. The other contained an emergency parachute.
It will be several weeks before Liberty Bell 7 will go on display. After the capsule is thoroughly cleaned, it can be exposed to the air. It will be displayed so visitors can watch the restoration that is expected to take several months.
Grissem made a 15 minute suborbital flight aboard Liberty Bell 7 on July 21, 1961, but the 7 1/2-foot aluminum and titanium capsule sank after splashdown when its hatch blew open prematurely, and it filled with water.

Internet access creates high-tech controversy
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Federal regulators have chosen a wait-and-see attitude as a legal brawl rages on about whether cable companies offering high-speed Internet services must share lines with their competitors.
But the Federal Communications Commission has made one point clear: Even in the absence of federal intervention, it does not want thousands of local municipalities coming up with their own regulations.
Cable companies could also deprive consumers of content choice through the Internet, said Gene Kimmelman, co-director of the Consumers Union Washington office.
"It is in the national interest that we have a national broadband policy." FCC Chairman Bill Kennard said in a speech in San Francisco last week. "The FCC has the authority to set one, and we have. We have taken a deregulatory approach, an approach that will let this nascent industry flourish."
So-called broadband access through cable lines provides connection speeds dozens of times faster than today's telephone modems. But consumer groups say the flip side of this is that cable companies
— which are not regulated as common carriers — control not only the wires, but the programs that people see.
Cable, phone, satellite and wireless companies are all racing to build these high-speed connections and to win
NO SMOKING
customers. So far, out of more than 30 million American homes with Internet access, only about a million have cable Internet hookups.
For this reason, the FCC said it was too early to pinpoint anti-competitive concerns and has declined to force cable companies to open lines to competitors.
But the FCC's hands-off policy hasn't deterred some local leaders from taking matters into their own hands,
Commissioners in Broward County, Fla., voted for a similar requirement, prompting AT&T to file suit Monday.
A federal judge backed the decision by Portland, Ore., cable officials, ordering AT&T, after its acquisition of cable company TeleCommunications Inc., to open its high-speed cable lines to rival Internet companies. AT&T is appealing.
Municipal officials who assembled in St. Louis for the National Association of Counties meeting last week insisted in a resolution that it is essential for local government franchise authorities to have the power to require that all cable companies provide open access to Internet service providers.
Federal regulators don't think this is an effective way to implement policy.
"The prospect of inconsistent rules and regulations promulgated by 30,000 local regulatory agencies does not produce a predictable regulatory environment," said Deborah Lathen, chief of the FCC's Cable Services Bureau, last week.
The commission plans to file a friend-of-the-court brief for AT&T's appeal of the Portland decision to explain the need for a national policy. On Monday, Kennard applauded the decision by San Francisco's city supervisors to approve the transfer of the cable franchise from TCI to AT&T and to hold off on forcing open access, pending the outcome of the Portland case.
The FCC's stance has drawn the ire of organizations like the openNET Coalition, a lobbying group AOL formed with other Internet providers and regional phone companies that want access to the pipelines.
"Doing nothing while AT&T turns a cable monopoly into an Internet monopoly is not a policy; it's surrender," said Greg Simon, the coalition's co-director.
Others said that while the FCC's hands-off policy might get high-speed Internet service out to consumers more quickly, regulators will later face a serious problem as a few companies dominate the market.
AT&T said its presence in the broadband arena has actually fueled competition, and local phone companies are speeding up the Internet services they offer and cutting prices.
The company also said that its foes were taking the issue to the local level as a last-ditch resort.
"They've been rejected at every other decision-making level," said Jim Cicconi, AT&T's general counsel.

Moore ignores tax cut, Kansans' best interests
Remember Cyndi Lauper's hit song back in the 1980s called "True Colors"?
I'm sure he has the best of intentions. In fact, he has supported smaller tax reduction proposals.
Herein lies one of the fallacies of liberal thinking. Liberal politicians believe that our tax dollars are better spent on the East Coast, rather than here in Kansas. Although Rep. Moore says he doesn't believe that, his vote against modest tax relief speaks loud and clear.
Commentary
Well, I do, and that is exactly what came to mind Thursday when I discovered that Dennis Moore, our representative to the U.S. House, voted against a tax relief bill that was passed for Kansans and all Americans.
Irresponsible. Devastating. A bill too hastily put together.
If we have the projected $3 trillion in surplus in the next 10 years, 75 percent of the surplus would be left after this tax-relief package. Or, with a conservative estimate of a $1 trillion surplus, 20 percent of the overcharge would be left for the government to spend.
And, get this. Depending on which estimate you believe, that $792 billion in tax relief still will leave hundreds of billions of dollars in surplus.
Moore is beginning to sound like President Bill Clinton, who said that last week's GOP tax reduction vote will imperil the future stability of the country.
One last thing. Moore cited Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan to shore up his vote against this well-deserved tax cut. He accurately quoted Greenspan's preference for debt reduction compared to tax cuts.
You see, Moore would like all of us in the Republican-leaning Third District to think of him as sort of a new breed of Democrat — one of the fiscally responsible types. He wouldn't want to do anything to make us think he is actually a liberal.
Please. This tax relief plan doesn't imperil a thing, except bureaucrats' wishes to create and expand government programs to take better care of a nation that is doing quite well on its own.
But, his true colors shined through last Thursday when he was the lone member of the Kansas delegation to vote for Washington to keep $792 billion in federal budget surpluses during the next 10 years.
Let me emphasize the important word here — surplus. That means extra money. Above and beyond the trillions already being budgeted and spent. In other words, an overbilling.
The GOP plan leaves plenty of money for Social Security, Medicare and debt reduction. Don't be fooled by scare tactics.
But, rather than make intellectually honest arguments about this plan, Moore relies on the usual scare tactics to convince us that we don't deserve to get extra money back.
J
But, Moore left out the rest of Greenspan's quote
Greenspan said, "If we have to get rid of the surpluses, I would far prefer reducing taxes than increasing spending, and, indeed, I don't think it's a close call."
When was the last time Washington didn't spend extra money that was lying around? Let's go with the safe bet of tax cuts, giving the money back to those who earned it.
And, let's not forget Moore's true colors.

Coach Allen breaks bad news at Big 12 media meeting
By Mike Miller
Kansan sports writer
By Mike Miller
The Big 12 Conference media day was an odd mix of cliche-ridden questions and answers, old news and a curious prerecorded video introducing one coach to the Big 12 media.
But for the University of Kansas football team, the conference brought bad news.
Coach Terry Allen began his interview session with news of a bizarre injury to wide receiver Byron Gasaway.
He was doing a triceps exercise
with 205 pounds on a curl bar,
when it came down on his jaw,
breaking it in three places, Allen
said.
"When a guy gets hurt in the weight room, it's not your shiny, happy moment," he said. "But if there was a position we could afford to lose anybody at it was at wide receiver."
Not only an interesting beginning to a season, but the news provided the most excitement of the two-day conference.
Most teams did similar routines: bring two players that could answer questions with predictable
responses, assume moderate and noncommittal stances to most questions and try to escape without saying anything that could be misconstrued as arrogance.
After a 9-4 season last year, Nebraska returns 16 starters this year and is the favorite in the North division. So, to avoid any controversy, coach Frank Solich brought two academic All-Big 12 selections: safety Mike Brown and wide receiver Matt Davison to answer questions thoughtfully and without a hint of armage.
The Nebraska Cornhuskers were a prime example.
The brave thing to do would have been to bring running back D'Angelo Evans and quarterback Bobby Newcombe. Both players spent most of last season on the sidelines with injuries but will be the main cogs in the Nebraska offense this year. By not bringing those players, Solich was able to answer any health questions as he saw fit.
"I feel very good about where Bobby is," Solich said. "His cuts are good, and he is moving very well. We anticipate him being ready to go for the start of the season."
The media had to settle for similar answers for the rest of the day.
Although any kind of answer would have been sufficient when Colorado coach Gary Barnett took the stage — sort of.
When it became Colorado's turn to be interviewed, Big 12 officials rolled a TV onto the stage and put in a tape of the coach. Barnett apologized for his absence, but explained that he was golfing in Ireland. The trip had been two years in the making, and he was sorry that it had interfered with conference.
In an effort to give answers to questions, Barnett read a list of prepared questions and answers
for the media, who had to settle for what they were given.
In all, the event was predictable. The media chose Nebraska and Texas A&M as the two favorites to reach the Big 12 Championship game as did most of the preseason fan magazines. And most of the same players named on the preseason All-Conference teams were those listed by the same magazines.
But it makes sense: where do these people get their information myway?

Student gets culture shock on kibbutz
The Associated Press Stylebook defines kibbutz as an Israeli collective settlement. Some dictionaries call kibbutz an Israeli collective farm.
Before visiting several kibbutzim and staying for a week on Kibbutz Gezer while traveling in Israel this summer, my impression of kibbutz stemmed from the latter definition.
When I learned my program included a week on a kibbutz, I was excited. I was going to be an Israeli farm girl for a week.
I envisioned waking up at the crack of dawn, taking a cold shower in my rudimentary dwelling and heading out to milk the cows and plow the fields next to ex-hippie kibbutz members.
Like most stereotypes, my vision was off the mark. The first kibbutzim I saw appeared, at least on the surface, modern. There were cars, houses, community swimming pools and average people.
When my friend and I arrived a day late at Kibbutz Gezer, my first surprise was the reaction to our tardiness.
Lesson number one: rules and structure are important on kibbutz.
A new way of living
Our professor multiplied the number of people by the minutes late and yelled at us for wasting that community time.
We were handed hoes and buckets and shown to a large pile of rocks.
Commentary
The next day we would be mixing cement. It was 8:30 a.m., and I had slept well in my clean, air-conditioned suite. But awakening, I was greeted by ants scurrying around my toothbrush.
Later, someone was yelling at me and expecting me to use my scrawny arms to
perform acts of hard labor. My thought at that time was to display a remarkable lack of community spirit and run to the nearest hotel.
Looking back on the experience, I'm glad I stayed — though I have developed a severe aversion to ants. By spending a week on this struggling kibbutz, I feel as though I was witness to the evolution of a way of life.
A transformation of tradition Kibbutz, like society, is changing. The farming collectives that were begun by
A transformation of tradition
jewish pioneers in the early 1900s now resemble an average community. Some kibbutzim still make money farming, but they also profit from factories and by providing Internet services.
Many members of Kibbutz Gezel don't even work on the kibbutz
Stephanie Brewer
'ansan Columnist
They are professionals, commuting to cities such as Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.
Their salaries go to the kibbutz, but some members are starting to gripe about inequality. On a kibbutz, those who do not work receive equal benefits to those who work 12-hour days.
The dining hall at Kibbutz Gezer also is changing. It used to be run by members and open for three meals a day. For most kibbutzim, the dining hall is the nerve
center of the community, and kibbutz members join there as a family. Now, a food service prepares the meals at Gzeer, and the dining hall opens only for lunch.
A kibbutz member told me that certain provisions, such as flour and eggs, used to be available to all members all the time. Members were allowed to take as much as they needed without asking. Now, everything is recorded, and there are limits.
The majority decided this was best for the economy of the kibbutz because most families weren't even eating at the dining hall. Economic hardship has caused many
Economic hardship has caused many kibbutzim to rethink the way they operate
Kibbutz Gezer's problem is a $20 million debt that doesn't allow families to receive all that they would like. When members need new shoes or braces for their children, the kibbutz can't always pay.
Our professor, who has lived on Kibbutz Gezer since the mid 1970s, maintains that the kibbutz is merely evolving. I had to wonder if this was wishful thinking.
A new perspective
When I first learning about kibbutz, the individualist in me rebelled against such an idea. I like traveling at my leisure and being responsible for my own money. I don't want to be a card-carrying member of my community.
Still, I can see how a kibbutz would be the ideal life for some. It's a safe and comfortable place to live.
I am curious now to visit more kibbutzim and find out if materialistic society has killed the idea of the collective settlement or if idealistic pioneers still exist.
