Jake Nelson, Delphos, freshman, croons Beck's "Debra" during Wednesday's karaoke contest at Woodruff Auditorium.

hosted a Beck/Flaming Lips karaoke contest at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union. Although about 42 people attended, only six students performed various Beck songs in efforts to win the tickets.
The winner of the contest was Delphos freshman Jake Nelson, who sang "Debra" from the album Midnight Vultures.
Nelson, who wore a tiedyed suit he borrowed from a friend, gave one of the tickets he won to Eric Braem, the runner-up.
Braem, who is a photographer for The University Daily Kansan, sang "Hollywood Freaks" from the same album and said Nelson was very considerate.
"I thought both of our performances were equally fun and rousing," said Braem, Hopkins, Minn., junior.

Character actor accused of sex crimes
LOS ANGELES — Actor Jeffrey Jones, best known as the suspicious high school principal in Ferris Bueller's Day Off, was arrested yesterday for allegedly having sex with a 17-year-old boy and possessing child pornography, authorities said.
Jones, 36, surrendered and was freed on $20,000 bail, said Officer Jason Lee, a police spokesman.
Arraignment was scheduled for Nov. 21.
Police began investigating Jones last November after a minor came forward claiming "alleged criminal acts of a sexual nature." Lee said.
A widely recognized character actor, Jones also played the father in Beetlejuice.

About 95 people were buried before 1880, Gridley said. He said 25 of the headstones were now missing, victims of pranks and target practice for young marksmen over the years.
Of the headstones that remain, many are reminders of Lawrence's bloody history during the Civil War.
Thomas W. Barber's grave is marked with a large obelisk marker. Gridley said Barber was the first casualty to pro-slavery militants in Kansas. He was shot by Lecompton militants as he was returning to his home in Douglas County in 1855. Gridley found the marker in a bush when he was doing his research in 1996.
"It was all knocked over." Gridley said. "Someone had just toppled the whole thing. It was inside a whole shrub and no one would even know it's thers."
Gridley and Katie Armitage,
another local historian,
helped restore the marker.
Eighteen white stones mark the graves of soldiers of the 13th Wisconsin Infantry who died in Lawrence between April and June of 1862. The men were on their way to Corinth, Mississippi, near the Battle of Shiloh, when they became sick with typhoid.
Quantrill's raid on Lawrence in 1863 killed about 200 men and boys and added 70 graves to the cemetery. When Oak Hill Cemetery opened less than five years later many of the graves were moved there. Only four graves of those killed in the raid remain in Pioneer Cemetery.
Ali the graves of people buried before 1880 remain in the cemetery and are scattered throughout the six acres. The graves of people with University ties are much more regulated, said Daryl Beene, senior vice president for property of the KU Endowment Association.
Any person buried at the cemetery must be cremated because of the limited space, Beene said. Each plot in the cemetery is two-feet by two-feet. The cemetery has 800 plots right now, but there is some room for expansion, he said.
Faculty and unclassified administrative KU employees who have worked for 15 years or more are eligible for burial.
Also eligible are chancellors, vice chancellors, deans, trustees of the endowment association and members of the board of directors of the University of Kansas Alumni Association. Spouses are allowed to be buried in the cemetery as well. Burial at the cemetery is free. Beene said.
After people who are eligible retire from the University, they are placed on a list to guarantee a plot in the cemetery, he said. Since 1960, about 330 people have been buried in the cemetery and 345 people are on the list to be buried in the cemetery.
Many people didn't consider it an option until former chancellor Deane Malott chose to be buried there. It has become more popular in recent years, he said.
"We don't have hometowns," Beene said. "A lot of people don't have roots, but they have a love for the University."
