WEATHER WWW.WEATHER.COM by Austin Gilmore, for The University Daily Kansan Rowing team gearing up for races Despite the recent rains, the Kansas women's rowing team has been working hard in preparation for this weekend's race. The team will race Sunday in the Head of the Iowa Regatta in Iowa City, Iowa. "We are getting faster at every race," junior Jen Van Ruyen said. "And getting closer to beating teams who have beaten us before." Van Ruyven also said the weather caused the team to practice inside more on the ergometer, the indoor rowing machine, than they had planned this week. She said the ergometer provided a more individual workout, and numbers in front of them on a screen give the girls a good idea of their progress. Van Ruyven said the team's goal this weekend was to beat Iowa because they beat Kansas by a couple of seconds two weeks ago at Notre Dame. Overall, the team seems to be showing great improvements, Van Ruyven said. Their performance at Notre Dame improved from being beaten by 39 seconds with four rowers in the boat, to only nine seconds with eight rowers. "We were one second away from a medal at that race," she said. "We were fourth, and our first varsity four has a good chance of medaling this weekend." Van Ruyen said an extensive work out, six days a week had gotten the team in shape for to race. "We run sprints at the stadium on the track on Monday mornings, and stairs there on Wednesday mornings," she said. They also work out on weights twice a week and on the water four times a week. To get in the top boats for races, the rowers accumulate points through strong workouts and having fast race times during practices on the water. —Jeremy Krashin Crossword ACROSS ACROSS 1 Narrow opening 5 Doe's mate 9 Military muddle 14 Turner of Hollywood 15 Follow secretly 16 Sugar portions 17 That hurt! 18 "Paper Lion" star Alan 19 Bewildered 20 Pathfinders 23 " la vista, baby!" 24 Cast a spell upon 28 River of Pakistan 32 Playground ride 33 Mr. Ziegfeld 38 Blood passage 38 Cash in Como, formerly 39 Starting point 43 Spoken 44 Blooper 45 Incline one's head 46 Go over again 49 Plucky courage 51 Extreme 53 Make merry 57 Devices for tailors 61 Mary's flock 64 Small arrow 65 Dang! 66 Wisdom unit? 67 Moreover 68 Comfort 69 Cheer up 70 McNally play, with "The" 71 Woad and anil DOWN 1 Arboreal mammal 2 Preminger film 3 Old Peruvians 4 Gauguin location 5 Wild try 6 Statuesque 7 Opera set in Egypt 8 Thin, shiny coating $ \textcircled{c} $ 2002 Tribune Media Services, Inc All rights reserved. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 | | | | 15 | | | | 16 | | | | | 17 | | | | 18 | | | | 19 | | | | 20 | | | | 21 | | | | 22 | | | | 23 | | | | | | | 24 | | | | 25 26 27 | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | | | | 28 | | 29 30 31 | | 32 | | | | | 33 | 34 | 35 | 36 | | | 37 | | 38 | | | | 39 | | | 40 | | | | 41 42 | | | | | 43 | | | | | 44 | | | | 45 | | | 46 | | | | 47 48 | | 49 | | | 50 | | | 51 | | | | | 52 | | | 53 | | 54 55 56 | | | | | 57 | | | | 58 59 60 | | | | | 61 | 62 | 63 | | | | 64 | | | 65 | | | 66 | | | | | 67 | | | 68 | | | 69 | | | | | 70 | | | 71 | | | | 10/25/02 9 Rare 10 Almond housing 11 Tummy muscles 12 Service charge 13 Dos Passos work 21 Hawaiian veranda 22 USNA grad 25 Man from Manchuria 26 Stupor: pref. 27 Twill weave 29 Ameche or Johnson 30 Exhort 31 Violent outburst 33 Norwegian inlet 34 Decoy 35 WWII beach 37 Frizzy do 40 Defeats decisively 41 4th network 42 Uses a crowbar 43 Major commodit 48 Cool or groovy Solutions to yesterday's puzzle. 50 Dodged 52 Fragrant conifer 54 Deck in finery 55 Toy with 56 Photorealist painter 58 Timbuktu's country 59 Before, before 60 All-inclusive breadth 61 Health haven 62 Skirt border 63 Water of France --- 1
