Lawrence rules — because we live here

All college towns are the same
Lawrence is the generic, charming, liberal academic town where burned-out hippies live in decaying houses; liquor stores line the sloping, scenic streets; everyone's got a bicycle, a backpack and a lazy black lab named Casey Jones; and pizza places can afford to stay open until 3 a.m.
Yeah, I know there's no Campanile in Madison, Wis. There's no way downtown Gainesville, Fla., has a more impressive array of gutter punks sparring for change than we've got on Massachusetts Street. And no one in Ann Arbor, Mich., makes donuts tastier than Joe's.
Yet right now a couple of freshmen wearing University of Michigan baseball caps, hung over from too many pale ales last night at Wolverine State Brewery, are no doubt licking the glaze off their fingers and exclaiming, "That Frank makes the best
COMMENTARY
$$@*! hear claws in the world!"
We in Lawrence are certain no college town has a more colorful figure than that guy with the black horn-rimmed glasses and the red "That's my Dillons" shirt who is routinely seen walking down the middle of Ninth Street idly chatting with himself and gesturing at the stars.
Color me goofy, but I can't tell the difference between Champaign and Chanel Hill.
But I'm pretty sure that in Berkeley, Calif., students have grown accustomed to some whacked-out former policeman named Ernest who for years has been wandering around campus wearing a big, pink sombrero, calling everyone "Chill" and asking to smell the inside of students' backpacks.
We KU students, like OU students, MU students — and all other state school students in the United States — have a tendency to believe that the scenic little town housing our precious college is just a bit different,
And usually we're right. Lawrence is undoubtedly the cultural mecca of Kansas. After all, I don't know of any cool place to see a good band in Oskaloosa. If the Sunflower State were a bag of M&M's, Lawrence would be one exciting red one amidst an abundance of those bland brown ones.
slightly more interesting, and infinitely more hip than the average town.
What's the real difference between Aggieville and Massachusetts Street? Why, Mass. Street is cooler of course — because welive here.
But when we compare Lawrence to, say, Boulder, Colo., the only real difference besides the mountains is that the frisbee and Binkenstock ratio may actually be higher in Boulder than it is here.
College students, more or less, are the same all over. And the towns that grow and evolve around them to serve their hedonistic needs, no matter what part of the country, always end up looking, smelling and feeling the same.
Jayhawks depend on two victories
By Dan Gelston Kansan sportswriter
The mission of the Kansas football team is simple — win and it's in.
If the Jayhawks can win their last two games, they probably will play in a bowl game. If Kansas, 4-5 overall, 2-4 in the Big 12 Conference, loses to Texas or to Missouri, its bowls hope are finished.
Expectations were high this season after the Jayhawks' 10-2 record and their Aloha Bowl victory last season.
"If you had asked me before the season what I thought our record would be right now, I'd have said 7-2 at the worst," said senior tight end Jim Moore. "We had higher expectations, but we still have a chance to do something with our season."
Kansas coach Glen Mason said he had not imagined that the Jayhawks would be in this situation.
"Our expectations were a lot higher," he said. "We've had our opportunities, and we've let them slip by. We've got two games to salvage some respectability in the season. It's no easy task."
Kansas players and coaches have said that the togetherness and senior leadership that had been present last season were missing this season. The Jayhawks also have had trouble scoring in crucial situations and playing when the offense and defense are in sync.
"One of the things that we've had trouble doing this year is building any momentum." Mason said.
"We had our opportunities against Utah;
we had them against Texas Tech; and we had them against Colorado," he said. "We had our opportunity to make (the Kansas State loss) a ball game, and we didn't."
Junior defensive back Jason Harris said he had a hard time understanding the Jayhawks' decline.
"You go from having a great season to, this, you sit and wonder what's so different," he said. "I guess when things don't go your way, they just don't go your way. What could we have done better? I just don't know."
Despite their problems, the Jayhawks know they can salvage the season with victories in the final two games.
Mason said the opportunity to be the first Kansas team to play in two consecutive bowl games should motivate his squad.
Equity in scholarship aid was close in 1995: $1.4 million for men and $805,676 for women. In recruiting expenses, however, men's teams spent $437,427, while women's teams spent $146,831.
Frederick said, "The difference is a result of huge recruiting expenditures for the approximately 25 football players we recruit every year. Right now we are primarily taking walk-ons from campus for the rowing team. Once we start recruiting more for rowing and soccer, the dollar figures will balance out."
You'll be good at making money all year. In December, invest in an idea that will make you smarter. The next skill to learn should become obvious in January; it will be difficult initially in April. Go someplace fun in July. Get involved with helping others in September. Love leads the way next October to the destiny you long for.
HOROSCOPES
athletic opportunities for women could lead to a situation in which the total expenses needed to run the teams would exceed revenue. Last year men's sports generated a total profit of $1.2 million, and women's sports operated at a loss of $2.5 million.
said, "We are on the right track in the area of equity. The only things that need to be looked at are the comparison in recruiting and scholarships expenses
A surprise development could change the playing board this morning, so wait to see what happens. Your natural charisma will be downright magical tonight. Point out how far you've come together and the others will accept your leadership.
Today's Birthday (Nov. 14)
Keep your hopes and dreams confidential. If you can do that, you'll make an investment that you're considering less of a gamble. Paying off a debt is an excellent way to save money. You'll sleep a lot easier once that's handled.

Don't worry about getting everyone's agreement today. It's neither important nor necessary. If you can see the best way to go, move boldly forward. The others will follow as soon as they realize you're on the right path.
Even something that's obvious may be tough to figure out today. It'S OK to ask for help from your friends. Your boss can see something you've missed. Treat a person you don't like with respect and you'll get closer to achieving a dream.
EQUITY
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - Today is a 9.
Don't be afraid to commit to a tough project. You'll end up in a better bargaining position once you make up your mind. Don't take your sweetheart's affections for granted. Instead, surprise your mate tonight with something special.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) - Today is a 9.
The very thing you find most annoying today is the key to your success. Unfortunately, you may have to admit that an older person
was right. Also, give up an old way of thinking so a dream to materialize.
Arles (March 21-April 19) - Today is a 4.
Your partner's worries won't amount to a hill of beans this morning. Do the calculations before taking the risk this afternoon. In romance, you get to make the decisions. If you wait for your sweetheart to choose, you'll wait all night.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) - Today is a 9.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) - Today is a 4.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) - Today is a 9.
Listen to financial advice from an older person, especially one with a lot of money. Your friend won't steer you wrong. Don't spread a rumor you hear at work, even if it's true. It's good to know when to exercise discretion.
Talk a good friend into going partners this morning. Tackle a venture that's bigger than either of you can do alone. While you could do it just for the profit, do it also for love. When you have that motivation, you're always happier.
Stick to the routing this morning and you'll get more done. A roommate is about to concede the values of your argument. You'll find it easier to get along for a while. Your sweetheart has an amazing insight to share with you tonight. Listen.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) - Today is a 6.
Finish up any old business as fast as you can this morning. Your next opportunity could pop up very soon. You and your sweetheart can come up with a marvelous idea tonight. Use your imaginations to keep it from being too much work.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)-Today is a 4.
See if you can turn an argument into a planning session today. Use a gentle tone of voice when you point out your friend's obvious error. And heed constructive criticism yourself. Meanwhile, make your money grow instead of spending more.
