SHOOTING: Gunman fired five to 10 bullets into concrete by crowd
CONTINUED FROM 1A
Thomes said that immediately after hearing the shots, he and other workers went outside to see if everyone was OK. He said he thought the shots were actually fired a couple doors down from It's Brothers, in front of Quality Comics and Da Shop.
A victim of the shooting who wished to remain anonymous said
he was standing outside of the bar when he heard loud bans. He said everyone started running and trying to push people back into the bar.
"It felt like someone kicked me in the legs," he said. "Then later when I tried to grab my keys from my pocket, it was bloody."
He said an X-ray taken of his leg yesterday showed a pea-sized fragment that could be either part of a
Whatever it was that was in his leg, he said, he hoped the shooter went to prison for a long time.
bullet or a piece of cement that was kicked up by one of the bullets.
"Whether it was cement or bullets," he said, "the Guy was shooting at us. And that's not cool."
Tremble's bond was set at $50,000. He faces a maximum of 23 years and 30 days in prison if convicted.
Sgt. Patrick said it was not known if the suspect had been inside its Brothers during the night.
Patrick said if there were victims who hadn't reported anything to the police, they should come forward. He said a possible 12th victim came forward yesterday morning.

way to give back to the community.
"As sappy as it sounds, I donate because it's a little thing I can do to help people," he said.
The Red Cross is still tabulating numbers, but Bev Cerb, Red Cross donor recruitment representative, said that the agency collected 519 pints of blood from the KU drive.

The 519 pints of blood that the Red Cross collected during the week would supply the agency's coverage area for one day, Cox said.
Cox said a single trauma victim could use 50 pints of blood. She said she knew of one woman who

"Since blood lasts for 42 days, a drive like this helps get us through tough times a month from now," she said.
Currently, the Lawrence Red Cross has a three- to five-day sup

"We had a great turnout, and 90 percent of the people needed to be shown to their seats," he said. "This means it was the first time they'd been in the building."
SEDARIS: Audience in tears'

Allen and her friends sat in the front row, falling backward into each other at their favorite punch lines.
"I bought tickets the first day I could," she said.
"We're doing OK right now, but we need to keep it up," she said. "Every day is a constant struggle."
In the slang of stand-up comedy, Sedaris killed last night. But most of the time, he didn't seem to notice, waiting patiently for the noise to subside so he could continue with his story.
A few times, though, the laughter was lengthy and loud, and Sedaris couldn't help himself, giving up a small, self-satisfied smile at the success of his material.

CALENDAR: Jayhawk Bookstore pulls its sponsorship, owner says
CONTINUED FROM 1A
According to Muggy, the "racy" cover had not been shot when he began sponsorship negotiations. World Company owns the Lawrence-Journal World, KUsports.com and Sunflower Broadband Channel Six.
Muggy said Jayhawk Bookstore invested more than $30,000 in the calendar last year.
Curley, said he was fine with the decision.
During the past year, other businesses from across the state have shown interest in sponsorships, Curley said. Because of the exclusive deal between Jayhawk Bookstore and the Women of KU calendar, Curley could not accept those offers. Now that the partnership has been broken, Curley said a major grocery store chain had stepped in, but he would not identify the company.
Muggy said that the calendar was used by University coaches as a recruiting tool. Curley said he could not confirm nor deny that statement. Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said he knew nothing about the department using the calendar to recruit.
Lynn Bretz, University Relations director, said World Company could use the University's name for the calendar because it was protected under fair use.
"As long as the women are from KU, there is nothing we can do," she said.
Despite recent negativity toward the Women of KU calendar and the creation of an alternative version featuring accomplishments of other KU women, Curley said his version was still popular. He said 140 people attended last year's tryout, which lasted several weeks. This year, 175 people showed up in a few days.
Muggy said he thought there was an increase this year in the quality of the candidates.
"Many young girls and moms came in and they saw the Women of KU as role models," Muggy said.
Muggy said layhawk Bookstore had already put together yellow-page ads promoting the Women of KU calendar at the store. He said he would not hesitate to tell customers about what he called a "dog-and-pony show" and why the calendar was not at his store.
New York textile designer visits graphic art students

With the help of specialized computer programs, Jhane Barnes can transform the human heart into a shirt design.
Barnes, who owns a textile design company, demonstrated her unique designs last night at the auditorium in the Spencer Museum of Art.
Barnes showed a design based on a human heart. Because the heart interests her, she attended four heart surgeries, and the surgeon sent her photos of one of the procedures. With her computer program, she could zoom in on the aorta until a pattern developed. Once the program replicated the zoomed-in pattern, it became a design for a plaid shirt.
"See? You can get your inspiration from anything," she said.
terns for her products.
Barnes spoke in front of about 150 people. It was the second lecture in the Hallmark Symposium series where designers, artists and writers speak throughout the semester. Members of the design faculty asked her to give the lecture.
Through an expansive PowerPoint presentation, Barnes demonstrated the software specifically made for her company. Each program uses elements of math, from concentric circles to intricate grid patterns. Barnes said it was difficult to draw these designs by hand, and the programs made the design process less tedious. For example, one program can take diagonal lines and shift them down slightly to create a swirling effect of new designs with each click.
Emily Miller, Wichita junior and textile student, was excited that Barnes shared her designs and computer programs.
"I think it's really amazing to listen to somebody who's actually doing it, making it happen and using all the technology," Miller said.
since starting her company,
Jhane Barnes Textiles, with an order of 100 pairs of pants in 1976. Barnes has expanded her product line from men's apparel to include furniture, carpeting and upholstery. She said she preferred not to design women's clothing.
"Men don't have cool enough stuff to wear," she said. "Women have plenty."
Barnes' New York-based company includes celebrity clients like New York Yankees pitchers Andy Pettitte and Mariano Rivera, and singers John Lennon, Elton John and Bruce Springsteen bought her clothes in the past. Her company has developed into a $50 million business, and retailers such as Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue sell her products.
"Even when I was a kid, I knew I would be successful in fashion. I just knew I would be," she said.
"People ask me all the time, 'Did you know you would have a company this size?' I'm like, 'Yeah, I did.'"

Athletics official reclaims crossbar from Battenfeld
By Meghan Brune

One week later, the crossbar has returned home.
After last weekend's football game against Missouri, Kansas fans uprooted the goalposts and threw them into Potter Lake.
Michael Hillix, Camden Point, Mo., freshman, retrieved the 200-pound crossbar from the lake. Hillix and fellow Battenfeld Scholarship Hall residents carried the trophy back to their hall.
Last Tuesday, a Brad Nachtigal, director of facilities and event management for the Athletics Department, came to reclaim the missing property.
Cole Robinson, Prairie Village sophomore and Kansan correspondent, said he thought that Battenfeld had received too much attention to keep the crossbar.
"We didn't break the agreement, but there was so much publicity that it made the Athletics Department look bad," Robinson, Battenfeld resident, said.
On its journey from the lake to Battenfeld, the group carrying the crossbar was stopped by KU Public Safety officers, Kansas and Missouri alumni and a Fox 4 news team. A bus of KU and MU alumni offered the group $500 for the goalpost.
David Selenke, Battenfeld resident, said he thought the Athletics Department was upset that the Battenfeld group could have profited from the crossbar.
"We are disappointed that they stole it back from us," Selenke, Oakley sophomore, said. "They probably weren't going to do anything with it anyway."
The original deal, made with Nachtigal, was that the group could keep the crossbar if it didn't cut it out or sell it
When the goalpost was taken back, a new promise was made, Robinson said.
"He said he could get us T-shirts and a piece of the crossbar, but I think it was more like, 'You have to give that back,'" Robinson said.
The department has not
needed what it will do with the old goalposts, said Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director. He said the damages had to be assessed.
Over the weekend, the University installed new goalposts.
Marchiony said that his biggest concern was not the future of the old posts, but the safety of students.
"By no means do I want to defuse the students' enthusiasm." Marchiony said. "But I think students have crossed the line to being unsafe."
Short of turning the football stadium into a military zone, Marchiony said that there was not much else he could do to control the crowds.
"I would love to see the students decide not to rip the goalposts down again," he said.
Battenfeld residents are upset that they no longer have the crossbar, Selenke said.
"We kind of hoped to keep it," he said. "But at least we are getting T-shirts out of it."
