Paul Pierce (left) and Raef LaFrentz are the returning starters for the men's basketball team. The two player-of-the-year candidates and the rest of the Jayhawks will begin practicing tomorrow the first day that Division I basketball programs may practice. Coach Roy Williams and the returning Kansas players posed for pictures and discussed last season and the season that begins Nov. 3 yesterday at the annual media day. Williams said that the team's defense and inexperience concerned him, and that Jerod Haase and Jacque Vaughn would be missed on and off the court.

Does student privacy make the grade at the University?
By Mike Perryman
Kansan staff writer
The University of Kansas issues a statement each semester reminding instructors of the importance of student privacy when distributing grades. However, violations of student privacy — and federal law — might still occur.
The Family Educational Rights to Privacy Act of 1974, commonly called the
Buckley Amendment, applies to public and private colleges and universities that receive federal support. The law states that an instructor must obtain the written consent of a student before disclosing personally identifiable information about that student's grades.
The most severe penalty for violating the amendment is a withdrawal of federal funding.
Violations at the University could include posting student grades by KUID number without written consent, leaving graded tests, papers or homework assignments unattended for students to pick up and having students exchange and grade each other's papers in class.
