Spotlight on Organizations
BY AMRUTA BHADKAMKAR
Cricket is practically the national sport of India and Pakistan. It is a national craze in both countries and with the Cricket World Cup going on now, the sport is drawing more attention worldwide.
The Cricket Club of KU is in the process of becoming an official sports club at the University.
Imran Ghazali, club president, said the goal of the club was to have an organization that would represent and support those who want to play cricket. Club members have been playing cricket on campus since last spring.
Ghazali said he thought the time
had arrived for a structured and organized platform to support and fund their cricket matches and to promote the game.
Ghazali said the team usually competed against itself in scrimmages or against the Johnson County Community College team. He said he hoped the club team will join the a 12-team league that includes other cricket teams in Kansas in the future.
One of the club's upcoming events is a kick-off event. The focal point of the event is a match that will be played on the field behind the Watkins Memorial Health Center. The purpose of playing it on-campus is to invite others to join and who are interested and to introduce

this sport to those who are not very knowledgeable about it.
Talks are currently going on with administration at the Student Recreation and Fitness Center to get
the club recognized as a KU Sports Club. For more information, e-mail Ghazali at ihgazzali@ku.edu.

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT FRED PHELPS' ANTI-GAY DEMONSTRATION ON CAMPUS?
Kansas City, Mo., sophomore "I hate him. I hope he dies. It seems ridiculous that he's trying to push his views on everyone else — especially because there are only 100 people in his church, and 80 percent are his family, but everyone else is going to hell."

corrections
Thursday's The University Daily Kansan contained an error. The article, "Sales tax increase may fund upkeep," should have said the bill would increase the total sales tax to 7.4 percent.
Friday's The University Daily Kansan contained an error. A correction for the article "Sales tax increase may fund upkeep" should have said a student who spends $7,000 would pay an extra $7 of sales tax with the proposed change.
odd news
Retirees hire cabbie for cross-country move
NEW YORK — Betty and Bob Matas have retired and are moving to Arizona, but like many New Yorkers they don't drive, and they don't want their cats to travel all that way in an airliner cargo hold.
Their solution: "Hey, cabbie."
They met taxi driver Douglas Guldeniz when they hailed his cab after a shopping trip several weeks ago.
They got to talking about their upcoming move, and "we said 'Do you want to come?'" said Bob Matas, 72, a former audio and video engineer for advertising agencies. "And he said 'Sure.'"
It was initially a gag, Matas said, but as they talked it over it became reality.
They plan to leave Tuesday on the 2,400-mile trip to Sedona, Ariz., with Guldeniz driving his yellow SUV cab 10 hours a day for a flat fee of $3,000, plus gas, meals and lodging.
They're getting a break. The standard, metered fare would be about $5,000 — each way, according to David Pollack, executive director of the Committee for Tax Safety, a drivers' group. But city Tax and Limousine Commission rules direct drivers and passengers to negotiate a flat fare for trips outside the city.
