Adam Pruett, mechanical engineer and 2006 KU graduate, draws cover art Drozone's tournament style speed ball paintball course Sunday afternoon. Pruett has been playing paintball for more than 11 years. Paintable players had different kinds of cover to choose from. The air-filled bags varied in name and shape; triangle shaped "dortos," pyramid shaped "aztecs" or tube shaped "snakes" could provide cover for players like Pruett.

"I think it's unnatural and obviously not the way it's supposed to be."
"I just think its taking science a little too far. I'm for stem cell research and limited cloning, but that seems a little too wild for me."

WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON INTERSPECIES CLONING?
INTERSPECIES CLONMORE
BY FRANCESCA CHAMBERS
MAO HUNG Taiwan graduate student
"That kind of experiment can help people's health, but most of the time that probably wouldn't happen. If countries could restrict cloning it would be good, but big countries will probably use cloning for war, and I am against that."

odd news
WATERVILLE, Maine — There's a mouse in Bill Erner's house that he says he has captured three times. Each time, the mouse escaped, and the last time the rodent ran off with his lower dentures.
Exner, 68, said he and his wife, Shirley, scoured his bedroom after the dentures disappeared from his night stand.
They found a small opening in a wall where they suspected the mouse was coming and going, and their daughter's fiance, Eric Holt, stepped in to help. They retrieved the dentures from the opening.
