NEWS MONDAY, FEBRUARY 6. 2006 2A THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN this week in KU HISTORY $ \textcircled{2} $ 2005 University of Kansas Memorial Corporation All rights reserved. feb.6 - feb.10 BY DIRK NEWTON editor@kansan.com KANSAN CORRESPONDENT February 8,1912 The Women's Athletic Association formed on campus with the goal to help create more women's athletic teams. The original WAA was more of a reward group in its first year of existence. The group had set up a points system to reward women for their hard work and exceptional achievements, such as founding a team or winning a competition. The points system was modeled after a similar one at the University of Wisconsin. Upon joining the WAA, the girls promised to keep their bodies physically fit and maintain sportsmanship. The WAA was responsible for forming the annual Mayday Playday, which was created to encourage sports participation by Kansas high school girls. Almost two hundred young women would participate in sports like archery, dance, swimming, volleyball and softball. The event allowed the best women athletes to compete against the best women from other schools in eastern Kansas. The WAA also put on annual intramural tournaments so KU women could compete against each other. During some years at the tournaments, almost 1,000 women would participate. The WAA helped pave the way for women's sports at the University, along with James Naismith, who coached the first women's basketball team to a 6-2 record in 1903. However, the team was not popular enough. It was more than 60 years later until a KU women's basketball team played in an intercollegiate game. Even though the WAA had plenty of success, it was not successful based on its initial ambitions. The WAA's first goal was to get KU women to compete against other universities. That goal was achieved in 1972 when Title IX was put into effect. Other universities around the country followed the University's lead and took steps toward making organized women collegiate sports a possibility. In 1975, KU gave out its first athletic scholarship to a woman.

That will teach you to keep your mouth shut." — Ernest Hemingway Illegal subleasing common HOUSING BY RACHEL PARKER rparker@kansan.com KANSAN STAFF WRITER Landlords left out of changes Low on cash or just needing a temporary place to stay with short notice, some students are turning to illegal subleasing for a quick, easy transition between different living spaces. Students often sublease apartments or homes without the property managers' knowledge, which is illegal. Vanessa, who asked that her last name be withheld for legal reasons, needed somewhere to live for a few months during the summer after moving out of the sorority she lived in during the school year. Vanessa made a summer living arrangement at an apartment complex through a friend. Instead of signing a summer lease, she paid a cheaper monthly "rent" to her friend. Her friend made a copy of the front door key. Kelly Scheueman, community manager for The Reserve , 2511 W. 31st St., said the management team had tried to avoid problems with illegal subleasing by closely monitoring vacant rooms. "We monitor this with quarterly inspections of the apartments as well as documenting anything unusual while completing work orders in apartments," she said. Scheuerman said no strange subleasing incidents had occurred since she came into her position in April. She said if the violation was caught early on, the management would work with the resident to keep the situation pleasant. "It is always our hope that residents do not intend to deceive us and we always take this approach when given the heads up," Scheuerman said. Edited by Hayley Travis Want to sublease a place? Be aware of e-mail scams Buver beware; look for deals that are too good to be true. Buyer warns: look for deals that are too good to be true. Those looking to sublease an apartment through online services should be wary of scams from overseas. Con artists living in foreign countries may e-mail offers to buy or sell property. Watch out for offers to buy through shipping arrangements or business associates, instead of face-to-face contact. These scammers often offer to pay using a cashier's check for well over the sale amount, with the victim's name and address on the check. They then ask for the rest of the money to be wired back. When the victim goes to the bank to deposit the phony check, the bank will fine the victim. Source: www.craigslist.com Those looking to buy or sell property should do so locally. While the seam can come from anywhere, the most common countries involved in the scheme are Nigeria, Spain, Ukraine, Romania, Netherlands, United Kingdom and Italy.

STATE Court halts Kline's abortion inquiries BY JOHN HANNA THE ASSOCIATED PRESS TOPEKA — The state's highest court on Friday temporarily stopped the state attorney general from looking at records from two abortion clinics, saying such a review could violate patient privacy. The Kansas Supreme Court ordered a lower court judge to first make sure that Attorney General Phill Kline has the right to see the documents in his investigation of potential violations on abortion and suspected rapes of children. If Judge Richard Anderson determines Kline does have that right, he must still ensure that the patients' privacy is protected, the court said. In 2004, Anderson issued subpoenas at Kline's request for the records of clinics operated by Dr. George Tiller in Wichita and Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri in Overland Park. The records involve 90 women and girls. health care and to obtain a lawful abortion without an undue governmental burden. Writing for the court, Justice Carol Beier agreed with Kline that the state needs to pursue criminal investigations, but said "the type of information sought by the state here could hardly be more sensitive, or the potential harm to patient privacy posed by disclosure more substantial." The Supreme Court said the subpoenas could infringe on the patients' rights to maintain privacy about personal and sexual matters, to receive confidential Kline said Friday he was pleased with the ruling because he believes the subpoenas will eventually be honored. He said his office never sought patients' names. "They are under no criminal liability or investigation. Their privacy will be protected," he said. Where the buffalo roam Kline opposes abortion, and Tiller's clinic has been high-profile target of anti-abortion protesters. The clinic, known for doing late-term procedures, was bombed in 1985, and Tiller was shot in both arms by a protester in 1993. Peter Brownlie, Planned Parenthood's chief executive officer, said the ruling Friday "clearly indicates that Attorney General Kline overreached in his effort to get at abortion providers."
