jayhawk nooks&crannies:
BY LINDSEY PARKER
South Park (the actual park, not the cartoon) is serene, yet stimulating. Springtime birds chirp and a few young children swing on the monkey bars. South Park has been around since 1854, making it Lawrence's oldest park. Located on each side of Massachusetts Street near downtown, South Park is a short walk from Jayhawk Boulevard, but is far enough away to escape the hustle and bustle of a busy campus and focus on studying.
South Park has a number of features that make it appealing to college students. Benches are scattered throughout the park and picnic tables allow students to sprawl out study materials. Depending on the weather, students can plop down under a shady tree or bring a blanket and study in the grass.
The Roosevelt Fountain flows in the middle of the park next to a shady gazebo. The fountain was built in 1910 and President Theodore Roosevelt himself came to Lawrence for its dedication.
For those necessary study breaks, visit the wading pool or flashback to childhood days on the playground. See if you can still clog the slide as well as you did in elementary school, or search for a four-leaf clover.
Studying at South Park can be an all-day adventure. Bring friends and have a picnic while writing term papers or studying for tests. Take a walk around and view the scenery as you work. People watch.
South Park is a quiet, off-campus area to study and there is no reason to avoid it — even if your name is Kenny.

Woman wears crocodiles over border crossing
The woman's shape raised suspicions at the Rafah terminal, and a body search by a female border guard turned up the animals, each about 20 inches long, concealed underneath her loose robe, according to Maria Telleria, spokeswoman for the European observers who run the crossing.
JERUSALEM — A woman with three crocodiles strapped to her waist was stopped at the Gaza-Egypt border crossing after guards noticed that she looked "strangely fat," officials said Monday.

"Even though she was veiled and covered, even with so many clothes on there was something strange," Telleria said.
