see people with disabilities engaging in sports."
Ray Petty, 40-year-old Wheelhawks center and forward, has played wheelchair basketball since 1990.
"If you're not going to run up and down the court, you can roll up and down the court," he said.
Petty said the players coached themselves and were on the road at least once a month. The Wheelhawks play in the Midwest Conference, which is comprised of teams from Kansas, Missouri, Iowa and Nebraska. The Wheelhawks won seven of the last eight conference tournaments.
Melissa Manning, associate director of disability resources, said more wheelchair sports were being organized, such as a wheelchair tennis
clinic on March 3.
"It's a very good thing for people to see that folks in wheelchairs can be athletic," she said.
Wheelhawks player Jim Kesler played on the Olympic wheelchair volleyball team at the 1996 Atlanta Paralympics. He, like many other players on the team, tapes his fingers to help prevent blisters from pushing. Kesler, 45 years old, is in his 13th year with the Wheelhawks.
"You play as long as you're able," he said.

look at the stadium, weight room,
and all the facilities, so that's definitely something you think about
when you make your decision",
he said.
FACILITY (CONTINUED FROM TA)
Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said the new complex would benefit other sports as well, freeing up space in the Anschutz Sports Pavilion by providing the more than 100 players on the football roster with a space of their own.
Tyler Lawrence, freshman quarterback, said working out in a more isolated environment would help the team focus.
"It its hectic sometimes when volleyball or softball is in there."
he said of the shared weight room.
"Now, everything we do is going to be in one area so you don't have to worry about walking here, driving there. I'll be a lot easier."
Corman said construction would begin in a couple weeks and estimated it would be completed by July 2008. The $31-million project also includes two practice fields and a parking lot to replace spaces displaced by the new complex.

MARKET (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
with the results of involving customers in the selection of ingredients in their own food. She said seating was not a major concern, but seats were generally full.
Golledge said Dining Services was still working on small changes to improve the eatery.
One matter of discussion in recent semesters has been the possible inclusion of Chiptep into The Market and The Underground.
"We did talk to Chipotle" 'Golledge said. "They're just not ready for that, moving to a college venue."
For now, The Market's changes will consist of menu alterations. Specials have been tried recently, such as made-to-order pancakes served on last Tuesday's International Pancake Day. Administration has also considered pairing with The Community Mercantile or the Merc Tern, 901 Iowa St. — to provide more fresh
produce.
Nate Blum, Lawrence senior,
said he ate at The Market once or
 twice a week, and that the atmosphere led him there instead of to
The Underground.
"It's not quite as noisy or crowded," Blum said. "The crowd is a greater mixture, and it's better for sitting down."
Garrett Shaddix has worked at The Market for five years. He said the streamlining of the registers had made a big difference to create more room and increase the flow of the food area. Shaddix said he had noticed an traffic in traffic.
"It's pretty exciting to see, really." Shaddix said.

said the goal of event was to put a positive spin on a negative facet of society - body image issues. Do said she thought the main problem with body-image issues stemmed from the media.
BODY (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
"The stars are supposed to be role models." Do said. "Everyone, including college students, wants to emulate that. It's just not realistic."
On Wednesday, students can create posters at the Health Hut in the Kansan Union and have their pictures taken with them, an event added this year. These posters may contain more positive affirmations that are not as focused on outer appearances, said event organizer and Watkins registered dietitian Ann Chapman.
"It helps you focus on your inner qualities, like what's unique and what's important about you, instead of being focused on your appearance?" Chapman said.
The pictures of students and their posters will be posted on the new Hawk Health Web site, hawkhealth.ku.edu, and the Student Health Services Web site, studenthealth.ku.edu, with the students' written permission.
Celebrate EveryBody Week is sponsored by HOMEBASE and KU Student Health Services with support from KU Dining Services, the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center and Recreation Services.
Chapman said that although body image issues were thought to occur most often in women, male body image problems were increasing, with pressures coming from fitness magazines and muscle enhancers.
