WASHINGTON (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
ing to requested opportunities for interviews, Evard said the Athletics Department chose to place the program on probation.
"We said, we're going to take the high road here and were going to conclude that violations occurred;" Evrard said at the University's press conference last Thursday.
Washington said that she directed her staff to cooperate with the investigation and that Evard never talked to one of her former staff members who was named in the University's report.
Washington also said that she met with athletics director Lew Perkins in 2004 while she was still the coach to determine whether one of her players who had been under investigation could return to the team.
During the meeting, Washington said Perkins called Evrard and put him on speaker phone.
"I asked at that time if there was anything else Rick needed for his report," she said. "He said he had everything he needed."
Evrard said that phone conversation did occur and that he spoke to Washington several times during the investigation. His first formal interview with her was July 29, 2003. The investigation of the women's program began in June 2003 and continued through June 2005 when Kansas turned in its self report to the NCAA.
The University was investigating alleged violations in recruiting and institutional responsibilities that occurred in Summer 2002 and through the following academic year. The NCAA Committee on Infractions found that only one of the seven violations self reported by Kansas was actually a violation, and it was a secondary violation. The committee called the University's self-imposed penalties "disproportionate" to the infractions committed.
Washington coached at Kansas from 1973 to 2004, when she retired for health reasons. David J. Brown, Washington's attorney, did not return The Kansan's phone call when it attempted to reach him for comment Tuesday evening.

Nuclear test likely by North Korea
BY BO-MI LIM ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEOUL, South Korea — Satellite images indicate North Korea appears to be getting ready for a second nuclear test, officials said Tuesday, as the defiant communist regime held huge rallies and proclaimed that U.N. sanctions amount to a declaration of war.
China, the North's longtime ally and biggest trading partner, warned Pyongyang not to aggravate tensions. The U.N. has condemned the Oct. 9 atomic blast.
Concern over a second test stems partly from new satellite imagery showing increased activity around at least two other North
Korean sites, a senior U.S. defense official said.
The activity, started a number of days ago, included ground preparation at one site and construction of some buildings and other structures, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because it involved intelligence gathering.
A senior South Korean official told foreign journalists that despite signs of a possible second test, it was unlikely to happen immediately.
While U.S. officials insist they aren't about to invade, they have taken other steps against North Korea — even before the U.N. resolution — including severing it from the international financial system.

Violence erupts during Argentinian burial
BY BILL CORMIER ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN VICENTE, Argentina
SAN VICENTE, Argentina — A lavish rebullal ceremony for Argentine strongman Juan Domingo Peron degenerated into violence Tuesday, as rival factions hurled rocks at one another and riot police dispersed them with rubber bullets and tear gas.
The fighting between club-wielding groups of men on the fringes of a large and mostly peaceful crowd of thousands resulted in at least 40 injuries, according to local media reports. One man was televised firing a gun.
The violence was apparently sparked by members of rival factions of the Peronist party angry about not being able to gain entrance to the ceremony, according to local TV and newspaper reports. However, authorities had no immediate confirmation on the motives for the battles or the groups involved.
As Peron's cortege traveled from his old tomb in downtown Buenos Aires to the new mausoleum at his former weekend estate, thousands of weeping admirers tossed carnations and confetti.
Riot police tightly ringed the flag-draped coffin as it made its way toward the new crypt. As Peron's body was laid into the new mausoleum, hundreds of supporters clapped and velled "Viva! Long live Peron!"
The independent television network TodosNoticias captured the mid-afterno violence and showed one man with what appeared to be a handgun in a small group of men. The televised footage showed his gun recoiling four times in a matter of seconds, smoke rising from the barrel.
Before Peron's body arrived, men outside the estate, shirtless, unleashed a fusillade of rocks and sticks against the stout wooden entrance gate before. The violence lasted several minutes before groups inside put ladders up against the brick walls of the estate and lobbed rocks back in defense.
"This was supposed to be a faesta, a historic day. Instead it is a great
shame" said one woman fleeing with her family. Others left in cars with windows shattered by rocks.
Removed from the Peron family's relatively humble crypt at the Chacarita cemetery, Peron's body was borne in a coffin topped by a military cap and saber in an hourlong procession led by guards on horseback to a new $1.1 million mausoleum outside the capital. Authorities closed a major highway ahead of the sunset reburial
- Peron's third since his death in 1974.

Members of rival political Peronist groups battle each other at the entrance to a new mausoleum for Juan Domingo Peron on Tuesday in San Vicente, some 45 kilometers south of Buenos Aires, as a motorized caravan bearing the Argentine strongman's remains were approaching, marrying plans for a lavish rebullary ceremony. The violence was apparently sparked by members of rival factions of the Peronist party angry about not being able to gain entrance to the ceremony.
"We are paying homage to our Peronist party, to the political party of our grandfathers and our fathers!" said 24-year-old Daniel Ferreri.
Peron dominated Argentine politics like no other 20th-century leader with his glamorous wife Evita at his side, cultivating an enormous working-class following by redirecting agricultural wealth to legions of urban poor through projects to build schools, hospitals and homes. Peron was elected president three times and died in office at age 78 in 1974.
Relatives of the late Eva Peron, or Evita, who died from cancer in 1952 at age 33, have opposed moving
her coffin from her family's tomb in the Recoleta cemetery in downtown Buenos Aires to lie beside her husband.
Nonetheless, the ceremonies underscored how the movement that bears Peron's name has suffered
deep fissures since his death: former presidents Carlos Menem and Eduardo Duhalde, rivals of current President Nestor Kirchner, and all Peronists, said they would not take part. Kirchner canceled plans to attend after the violence broke out.
