CRIME
Athletes arrested for alleged assault
BY JACK WEINSTEIN
A bloodstain on the pavement outside his home serves as a reminder to Tyler Kelly of a violent incident he told police he experienced there almost two weeks ago.
Sophomore pole vaulter John McDonald was arrested on suspicion of aggravated battery and released on
a $10,000 bond in connection with the beating of Kelly, a teammate of McDonald's, about 3:15 a.m. Oct. 28. The district attorney has not formally brought charges against him.
McDonald will make his first appearance in Douglas County District Court on Friday.
At least one other person has been arrested in connection with the case.
Forest Park, Ill., sophomore Greg Krupa was also arrested and charged with aggravated battery in connection with the incident and was later released on a $3,000 bond.
An Athletics Department administrator said two other members of the track team had been suspended in connection with the incident. Freshman pole vaulter Jordan Scott
and sophomore pole vaulter Ryan Hayes have been suspended, the administrator said. It has not been confirmed whether they were arrested.
According to the police report, Kelly was attacked by five men outside his home in the 4700 block of Ranch Court. The fifth person is not yet known, but the police report said
he was likely unknown to Kelly.
Kelly was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital following the attack to receive treatment for a concussion and other injuries sustained during the fight. He had surgery to repair a broken cheekbone Nov. 8. His head and face are still swollen, said his father, Albert Kelly.
"He lost a lot of blood," Albert said.
"He could have died."
Tyler was found outside his home by his roommate Tyson Willoughby, 2006 graduate. Willoughby didn't witness the attack, but was asleep at the time and spoke with police when they arrived.

Dancers to perform numbers by faculty
Daners with shiny dresses in red, teal, gold, pink and black rehearsed for their performance by moving across the stage with quick movements to Baroque music.
The dancers made smooth transitions from quick movements to slow graceful ones, emphasizing the change in tempo.
The piece, "Girls and Boyce," was choreographed by Willie Lenoir, instructor of dance, and is just one of the faculty pieces that will be performed by the University Dance Company today and Friday.
The University of Kansas' University Dance Company — a group of 24 students who auditioned — will perform several pieces by dance faculty as well as a piece by guest choreographer Carl Corry. Corry's work, "Pop Trio," will feature Christina Agulera's song "Beautiful," the Beatles "Let it Be" and Soraya's "Reason to Believe." The dances to each song were choreographed at different times, Corry said.
"Each one of the songs struck me and inspired me individually and for different reasons," he said.
Corry came to Kansas for a week to work with the dancers for his piece.
"It was a wonderful week of teaching and working on these pieces and putting them together," he said.
Morgan Fogarty, St. Charles, Ill., senior; said it was good to get to work with Corry and other guest choreographers "because they are out in the professional dance world

Christine Downey-Schmidt, vice chair of the Board, said the goals
The Kansas Board of Regents on Wednesday approved the University of Kansas' new performance agreement proposal and will recommend it to the state legislature, enabling the University to continue to receive full funding.
Performance agreements are required of all Kansas Regents schools as a way of measuring the success of certain initiatives and monitoring the quality of education at the University. The state legislature uses the agreements when determining how much state funding each school will receive.
"I think any time you're focusing on qualitative improvements, it's good for the institution," Hemenway said.

"We hope that we can continue to declare these as saying 'we can self-police'" DeBauge said.
Board member Janice DeBauge said compliance with the agreements
The new agreement is notable for the University because it is the first time the school will be judged during a three-year period rather than by an annual report. The state's other
research universities, including Kansas State and Wichita State, also switched to three-year performance agreements.
was important because it prevented state and national governments from trying to impose their own measures for an institution's success. If the University is able to effectively show improvement, governments aren't
inclined to impose policies on the University.

With hands chalked to prevent the bars from slipping, Manrique Cartin, San Jose, Costa Rica, senior, hefted the weights on the life fitness cable machine in the Student Recreation and Fitness Center Tuesday afternoon.
"I like to work out," Cartin said. "It relieves stress and I like the healthy feeling."
Dedicating four days a week to lifting weights and the other two to cardio work-outs, Cartin is rapidly pointed out by staff as one of the dozen or more regulars who is always at the center.

Allison Maher, Tulsa, Okla., senior, has worked out in the center twice a day as often as four days a week.
"I began training for a marathon," Maher said. "Then I injured myself and had to cut back."
Though Creed was hard-pressed to come up with names, he was able to point out a lot of the regulars on sight. Maher was simply "the
