Zach Coble, Winfield junior, is tired of stereotypes associat with disabled persons. A big misconception is they are somehow less able to do things or should be pitied, said Coble, who has cerebral palsy. The disability is just another part of our lives, not something

that inhibits our ability to get things done. AbleHawks began its campaign at its meeting Tuesday night to get an appointed seat on Student Senate. AbleHawks is an advocate group formed to raise awareness of disability issues at the University of Kansas. Coble, AbleHawks member, said a Senate seat would ensure fair representation for the campuss disabled community,

Disabilities issues AbleHawks hope to work on: F More note-takers available students with learning disabilities and incentives for those note-takers F Help in receiving information about insurance and employment opportunities F More handicap access ramps for buildings F Wider handicap access ramps F More handicap-accessible bathroom stalls F Handicap access for buses F Bringing speakers to campus

For some greek houses, recruitment a 24-hour, seven-day-a-week job

Recruitment activities for most sororities and fraternities at the University of Kansas ended last week. For greek houses in the Na-

tional Pan-Hellenic Council, it is only beginning. Unlike the other greek organizations, there is no formal recruitment week for NPHC. This week is their opportunity to gain the attention of potential new members. More than 40 people interested in NPHC visited with members of the seven fraternities and sororities Tuesday evening at the Kansas Union. NPHC is one of the underrecognized councils on the campus compared to the In-

terfraternity Council and PanHellenic, said Will Clayton, Kansas City, Mo., senior and vice president of NPHC. So we really want to raise awareness about NPHC and that NPHC really does exist and there are other fraternities and sororities on campus that do things for the campus as well. NPHC at the University consists of five active, historically black sororities and fraternities and a Latino fraternity and Latina sorority. This week allows

the fraternities and sororities to better understand who is interested in joining the NPHC community. Through word of mouth, informational meetings and conversations with prospective members the fraternities and sororities of NPHC try to spread its message. For the most part recruitment for us is a 24 hour, seven day a week job, Melinda Benavidez,

Throughout the first weeks of classes, students at the University of Kansas have not been saved by the whistle. The steam whistle which previously announced the end of class at 20 and 50 minutes after the hour has been temporarily turned off because of roof repairs at the KU Power Plant, where the whistle is located. Mike Burke, senior supervisor of the power plant, said the whistle was a safety concern for the workers on the roof. The volume of the whistles blast could cause hearing damage to the workers. Also, if they were standing close to the edge of the roof when the whistle went off, the sound could startle them and cause them to fall off the roof, Burke said. Once repairs are completed, the whistle will be turned back on, said Jim Long, vice provost of facilities planning and management. Joe Orosco, head of access services reserve department at Watson Library, said that because the library neighbors the power plant to the east, in the past he could hear the whistle clearly. But, he hadnt noticed that the whistle hadnt blown this

The power plants roof repairs could end next week, depending on the weather, said Roger Harmon, construction manager of Design and Construction Management. The repairs started June 1. Right now, the workers are hottarring the roof, one of the last steps in the process. The power plant building is more than 100 years old and the roof was in desperate need of repair, Burke said.

Freshmen candidates prepare for upcoming Senate elections

Brittany Ramos never got to participate in student government in high school. After being vice president of the safety patrol at her elementary school in Dallas and vice-president of her middle school student body, sports became the focus of her extracurricular activities in high school. But now Ramos, Overland Park freshman, is getting an opportunity Todays weather

to join student politics. She is running in the upcoming freshmen elections for Student Senate. I really like being in charge of things and making big decisions, Ramos said. I regretted not being able to participate in high school. Each fall, freshmen run for one of five spots available on Senate. Tomorrow is the deadline for freshmen to turn in applications. Freshmen elections will be held Sept. 6 and 7. Only freshmen can vote in the elections.

Freshmen Student Senate applications are due tomorrow by 5 p.m. They can be picked up and returned to the Student Senate office in the Kansas Union, room 410. Included with the applications: F A $20 filing fee or 50 freshmen signatures F A Deans stamp to verify enrollment
Source: Student Senate Office

Freshmen have had their own elections since the 2003 school year, said Kevin McKenzie, Salina senior and College of Liberal Arts and Sciences senator, who

co-authored the referendum that added the elections in 2003. We fought for senate seats for freshmen because they were a huge group of students at KU

who did not get to elect their representatives, McKenzie said. The motivation was to ensure that all students had a chance to help determine who their elected representatives were. Last fall, 24 students ran for freshmen spots, according to an article published in the University Daily Kansan. Luke Thompson, Spring 2005 elections commission chairman, who also worked with freshmen elections this year, said he expected around 20 students

to run, but he wouldnt be surprised if more applied. Thompson said the number of students running in freshmen elections has increased each year since the elections began. Hannah Love, Dodge City sophomore and sophomore CLAS senator, said there are several major differences between freshmen elections and general Senate elections held in the spring. Freshmen candidates

Students upset by ordinance

Megan Hollenbeck, Prairie Village senior, and her three roommates were shocked to learn of a complaint made against them by a neighbor. Around March she and her roommates, who live in a house on the 1700 block of Indiana Street, went to their landlord to discuss renewing their lease. Their landlord told them someone had complained too many people were living in their house, Hollenbeck said. Hollenbeck said the landlord explained that although they were good tenants, they would be taken to court if one of them did not move out. Because more than three non-related people were living in the same house in a single-family district, the four women were violating the occupancy ordinance 7323. Www.lawrenceplanning.org defines a family as a person living alone; two or more people related by blood, marriage or legal adoption living together; or a group of three or fewer people not related by blood or marriage living together. The Web site also contains a colorcoded map showing where single family districts are located. We never even had one party, Hollenbeck said. We were really quiet, kept the house clean and paid on time. The neighbors all seemed to like us. Im still pretty upset about it. The number of residents allowed in a house isnt the only ordinance that affects students; they should also be aware of noise and parking ordinances. If a house makes excessive noise constituting disturbance of peace, the resi-

neighbors all seemed to like us. Im still pretty upset about it.
Megan Hollenbeck
Prairie Village senior dents are in violation of noise ordinance 14-413. According to www.lawrencepolice.org, each year the Lawrence Police Department responds to more than 2,500 noise-related phone calls. First time offenders may receive only a warning. Additional calls result in a citation. One citation results in a fine, Sgt. Dan Ward of the Lawrence Police Department said. If the residents receive two or more citations, they could be evicted. Ward said for a residents first violation of a noise ordinance, it is the officers decision whether the resident receives a warning or a citation. Officers are more likely to give a citation when the situation is out of control and the resident is uncooperative, he said. Although penalties for parking ordinance violations are not as serious, violators do receive fines from the city. People are not allowed to park cars in front or side yards or stay in the same spot on the street for more than 48 hours. According to www.lawrencepolice. org, it is illegal to park within 30 feet of a traffic control device, within 20 feet of a crosswalk, within 15 feet of a fire hydrant or more than one foot from a curb. It is also illegal to block a private drive. Edited by Erin Wisdom

Timberlake takes apology for cheating accusations

LONDON Justin Timberlake has accepted an apology and damages from a tabloid newspaper that falsely accused him of cheating on girlfriend Cameron Diaz with a British model. Timberlake had filed a libel lawsuit at Londons High Court over a July 2004 claim in the News of the World that he had a fling with model Lucy Clarkson. Benjamin Beabey, lawyer for the tabloids publisher, News Group Newspapers Ltd., said yesterday that the News of the World apologized for the distress and embarrassment caused by this article. It entirely accepts that the allegations are without foundation. Clarksons lawyer, David Griffiths, said the model acknowledged that the story was an entire fabrication on her part. Yet again, a tabloid has been caught lying, said Timberlakes publicist, Ken

Sunshine, in a statement. Thankfully the judicial process worked, but how many cases like this will it take before these tabloids feel obligated to print the truth? Timberlakes lawyer, Simon Smith, said the allegations had caused damage to the singers personal and professional reputations. He said the publisher had agreed to pay a substantial undisclosed sum as damages. Clarkson had agreed to pay a sum equal to that which she agreed to receive from the News of the World for her story. The defendants also had agreed to pay Timberlakes legal costs, Smith said. In the light of these developments, Mr. Timberlake has decided not to pursue these proceedings and considers that his reputation has been fully vindicated, Smith said. Sunshine added that Timberlake planned to donate the damages money to charity.

Thousands of people may have walked through the field of weeds, seeing the dilapidated playground equipment and rusting tricycles. It took five years of decay before a student walked by and saw something different. That day, Aaron Olsen, Overland Park sophomore, looked across the sloping lot between the Wesley Building and Margaret Amini Scholarship Hall, east of the Kansas Union, and envisioned a garden on the land the Hilltop Child Development Center left five years ago. Tomatoes, green beans, carrots, parsley, garlic and onions interspersed with colorful flowers ... Its kinda just a dream, but ... he shrugged. Olsen, a biochemistry and cellular biology major, wants to transform the unused, 2,000-plus-square-foot parcel of University of Kansas land into a large garden and donate the produce to local soup kitchens. He put the plan into motion during finals week in the spring when he approached the University with his request. I was excited by the idea, Lynn Bretz, director of University Relations, said. But I knew we had some hurdles. The first test for Olsens idea came before he even picked up a shovel. He needed to write a detailed proposal, so he spent the summer learning every inch of the land: collecting soil samples, counting the number of trees on the plot and deciding how he would turn this unwanted parcel of land into a garden. After completing liability forms and other legal paperwork with the help of the Center for Community Outreach and University officials, Olsen gained permission to grow a garden and received $500 for soil and equipment from Student Senate. Olsen then lined up a few volunteers and gained 20 more at the club and organization fair during Hawk Week. He named the project Campus Garden and has created a Web site, www.ku.edu/~cgarden. Olsen first sunk his shovel into the

He planted a row of irises, rosemary and chives in a small triangle of weeds bordered by a building, a sidewalk and a wooden fence, with a stone ashtray filled with Marlboro butts at its vertex. It took him 10 hours to mix the soil and plant the 8-by-2 feet row. Its kind of my experimentation ground, he said. He knows it will take at least a year and thousands of sweaty hours before all the land resembles a garden.

They refer to it as noninvasive cancer. The New York Post, which carried a front-page headline declaring Gottis sick cancer scam, reported yesterday that Gotti never had breast cancer as she had told the rival Daily News. I could leave it alone and watch it, or get surgery, Gotti told the Post. I chose to be aggressive and get the surgery. She made similar comments Monday night on CNBC, according to the Post. The News had reported Sunday that Gotti, 42, kept the news to herself hiding her The gardens not really whats most efficient. What supports the community most, what drives volunteering and gets students involved is really more important. On Tuesday, Olsen picked up a power drill delivered by a volunteer and crouched down on a dilapidated deck that sits on the northeast corner of the lot. As the dark, gray sky threatened to rain, Olsen pressed the drill into a rusty screw and drew it out of the soggy wood. Step by step, hes building his garden.

Every day since this happened, people have been asking me, `Well, do you have cancer? Or is it not? Gotti said. Theres no easy way to explain that. It is the illness. You have to look it up to understand it.

Students looking to score free pizza Tuesday afternoon were told all they had to do was fill out a credit card application and they would receive a coupon for free Dominos Pizza. The group giving away the pizzas set up a tent in the parking lot of Dominos Pizza. The group was not affiliated with either the pizza chain or Commerce Bank, N.A., based out of Kansas City, Mo., although it used documents with Commerces name and logo. Jeanne Howard, director of regional marketing for Commerce Bank, N.A., said the group was not working with either the bank or Visa, the credit company Commerce works with. At the present time were following up on information, she said. There are things happening behind the scenes, but it isnt us. Dominos Pizza also said the group was not with them. An employee of the store, who wished to remain anonymous, said the group comes through about twice a year and does business with them. The employee also said they were not allowed on campus, but did not know why. The scenario reflects a similar situation in Lawrence, where University of Kansas students were asked to fill out credit card applications in exchange for free pizza. The group there was not affiliated with either the pizzeria

or Visa, the logo on the credit card application. As with the Lawrence case, the group giving away the free pizzas refused to answer any questions. Chris Hoover, captain of Emporia State Police and Safety, said the deal sounded fishy, at best. Free is typically not free, Hoover said. He said students should not fill out any form requesting personal information unless they are positive it is from a banking institution. Everyone should be suspicious and hesitant if they have to fill out any form, Hoover said. They shouldnt even be talking to these people. According to the Federal Trade Commission Web site, disclosure of personal information such as Social Security numbers and mothers maiden name, both of which the form requested, leads to an increase in the risk of identity theft. Hoover said students who had already filled out the forms may be at risk, and advised them to begin checking their information. Normal procedure is to check your credit report on a routine basis, Hoover said. Watch whats going on with your accounts. If students feel they have been victims of identity theft, they are encouraged to contact the Social Security Administration at 1-877-IDTHEFT or online at www.ssa.gov/pubs/ idtheft.htm.

Edmond, Okla., senior meet with representatives from AbleHawks for a discussion. We are a minority and we dont get a lot of representation, Zarda said. I think a seat on Senate would help us get the word out. There are 13 appointed seats on Senate, with six belonging to other multicultural organizations: International Students Association, Black Student Union, Hispanic American Leadership Organization, First Nations Student Association, Asian American Student Union and KU Queers and Allies. These senators are not elected and act as representatives for their groups. Stephanie Craig, Edmond, ested in NPHC after she heard about it from a friend and read a flier about the opportunities offered by a multicultural sorority. She said as a Latina, Sigma Lamba Gamma would allow her to maintain and learn more about her cultural heritage. I like how it would help me grow in my faith and what I learn about myself. Its a great way to get to know yourself, she said. The diversity of NPHC remains an important part of the community. The organization incorporates a vast array of cultures and ethnicities and works with other groups.

Okla., senior and Multicultural Committee chairwoman for Senate, said having appointed senators ensured diversity that might not otherwise exist. While Senate is diverse in some ways, in regards to what our country constitutes as diversity, its not at all, Craig said. Elections dont guarantee diversity, so appointed seats rectify this situation. In order for a group to obtain an appointed seat, a student must approach a senator who will take up the issue in Senate. The senator would then introduce a bill. In this case, the Multicultural Committee would take up the issue and discuss the validity of the request. From there, the entire Senate would vote on the measure. Craig said if she received the proposal, she would make sure to discuss the matter thoroughly in Senate and ensure the legislation gets the proper attention it deserved. Edited by Tricia Masenthin well as Latino students to come together and socialize as one voice, Clayton said. The organization has also come together with the other greek councils to gain a better understanding of each others traditions and culture.

dont align themselves with a coalition, such as KUnited or Delta Force, or use issues or platforms in their campaigns. Instead, their most important task is to talk to as many people as possible and get their names out, Love said. Ramos said she planned to publicize her campaign by making fliers. I plan on standing outside with pens and candy, something to attract people, Ramos said. Emi Erekosima, Rose Hill freshman who is running for a freshman seat, is planning on making buttons, stickers, posters and T-shirts that will read, Vote Emi, Absolutely.

Erekosima said she chose her slogan because she uses the word absolutely so frequently in her everyday speech. Erekosima said she worked in student government in high school. She decided to get involved in Senate after an orientation assistant gave her a list of clubs during her summer orientation. Erekosima said her background in student government was what led to her interest in taking student leadership roles at the University. Love said one of the difficulties of being a freshmen senator was learning everything about Senate as quickly as possible. Its very intimidating, Love said. You dont know anybody except the five freshmen you come in with. But Love said somebody was

always willing to help her if she had questions. Selena Self, Norman, Okla., sophomore and former freshmen CLAS senator, said becoming a senator as a freshman is a great way to become involved. She said being a senator helped her meet people and get involved in other campus organizations. Self is currently a sophomore CLAS senator and plans on staying involved with Senate throughout her four years at the University. As a freshman senator, the main goal is to learn about how Senate works and how different committees work, Self said. She said campaigning was also a learning experience. You dont know what to expect or what to do, Self said. Edited by Anne Burgard

Activism in action: students do ask, do tell

Protesters must remain realistic Recruiting violates University policy
With all of the activism that has sprung to life already this semester, it comes as little surprise that one target for protest is the military. Once again, some seek to stop military recruitment on campus on the grounds that the militarys Dont ask, dont tell policy is bigoted and discriminatory. The problem with this protest, though, is that it is an attempt by some to impose societal ideals on the military at the expense of military effectiveness. If you ask anyone who has spent time in or around the military, you will find that the armed services is one of the most color-blind segments of our society. In fact, minorities have held nearly every top position in the military and continue to play an important role in our countrys military leadership. This color-blindness did not come about simply because some social engineers decided it would be a good idea to eliminate discrimination in the military, but instead because the military realized that, in order for it to be as effective as possible, the most capable and deserving people needed to be promoted to leadership positions. It is also for the sake of military effectiveness that gays are not allowed to serve openly. Gays do serve in the military today, but the reason they are not allowed to serve openly is because there is an overwhelming concern that their sexuality will break down unit cohesion. Contrary to the belief of some, most straight men do not want to live in intimately close quarters for long periods of time with gay men. In a perfect world, this would not be an issue because everyone could just get along, but in the real world, this type of situation creates tension and uneasiness. This strain causes military units to work less effectively as a team and leads to an overall decrease in a units ability to accomplish the mission. This reduction in performance may be an acceptable cost in the corporate world where the result is profit, but in the military, the reduction of a units ability to perform its mission can often lead to unnecessary deaths and injuries when it is faced with the combat situations the military now encounters every day. Im glad that people are taking an interest in the military and are concerned enough to protest, but instead of seeking to expel recruiters because of a policy that conflicts with the notions of an ideal society, I hope that people take the time to examine the reasons behind the policy to understand why the military is reluctant to change its position. Joshua Goetting writing for the editorial board. There are many protests that are launched because of an organizations beliefs. A university law, however, validates protesting against military recruitment on campus. There are two policies that violate the rights of KU students: the Solomon Act and the Dont Ask, Dont Tell policy. The Solomon Act says that if any establishment of higher education prohibits on-campus recruitment, the government can cut defense funds, transportation funds, labor, health/human services and education funds from the school. The Dont Ask, Dont Tell policy was instated as President Clintons response to the exclusion of homosexuals in the military. The statute states: The prohibition against homosexual conduct is a long standing element of military law that continues to be necessary in the unique circumstances of military service The presence in the armed forces of persons who engage in homosexual acts would create an unacceptable risk to the high standards of morale, good order and discipline, and unit cohesion. In laymans terms, the military now allows gays to be in the military, as long as they dont reveal or talk about their sexuality, because the presence of homosexuals would injure morale. If the Dont Ask, Dont Tell policy was truly nondiscriminatory, it would also apply to heterosexuals, meaning that everyone in the military would have to be asexual, banning any signs of sexuality, including wedding rings. Our membership solicitation policy states: Discrimination on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, ancestry, age, disability, veteran status, sexual orientation, marital status, or parental status is prohibited. All campus-related organizations are required to adhere to the equal opportunity policies in the selection of their members. The policy applies to employment practices, conditions of employment, personnel actions and all other educational programs and activities of the University and its affiliates. Therefore, any organization that is biased against any minority cannot solicit new members, promote itself or even provide activities on campus. But if the administration denies the military a clear violator of KU policy the right to recruit on campus, the government is allowed to cut essential funds from the school in accordance with the Solomon Act, meaning a poorer education for students. While recruitment is an essential part of creating an all-volunteer military, the government cannot expect educational establishments to abandon their nondiscriminatory policies. The United States is built on constitutions, contracts and equal rights, and while on-campus recruitment may not be directly responsible for human injury, it is still in violation of a University policy. Should the militarys bylaw concerning homosexuality change to represent all forms of sexuality, on-campus recruitment would not be in direct violation of University policy, and would be a welcome solicitation. The funds the University receives for propagating a setback in civil and equal rights progress sends a clear message that the Universitys morals are easily bought and sold. Betsy McLeod writing for the editorial board.

I just want to say everyone slows down a little, because my friend is in the hospital and probably going to die because someone couldnt take the two seconds to stop at a stop light.

The meat and potatoes of your prole will fall under the personal info section. When forming facebook friendships, the interests you reveal are all that a potential friend has to judge you by. Under interests, keep it simple and vague. Be sure to list Hanging out with Friends, or Partying. This will set you apart from those people that dont like their friends or having a good time. Other good options are Sleeping, Drinking, or Shopping, as there are few people with these interests, and youll denitely stand out in the crowd.

Perusing www.thefacebook. com is no more stalking than looking through the classied ads for job openings. A person only displays what they want others to know about them, so you shouldnt feel ashamed for taking a look at what they have to offer.

Technology that helped capture Rader may become widely used

The AssociATed Press WICHITA Technology that helped crack the BTK case could be put into wider use after impressing authorities involved in the intense manhunt for the serial killer. U.S. Rep. Todd Tiahrt has asked the House Appropriations Committee for $3 million to fund a pilot project to work on cold cases using a computer system like the one that helped detectives whittle the list of possible BTK suspects down from millions to hundreds and eventually to Dennis Rader, who is now serving a life sentence for 10 murders. It processes a whole lot of data, said Tiahrt, a Kansas Republican who met with a creator of the technology. It was a tool that they were able to use to supplement the detective work. A McLean, Va.-based company, EagleForce Associates, developed the database for the Wichita Police Department, though it was an unlikely partnership. EagleForce has a history of work on Defense Department antiterrorism ventures, but had never assisted with a criminal case. And homicide detectives in Wichita had turned to the FBI and other government agencies for help on cases, but never to a private firm. Stanley Campbell, the chief executive of EagleForce, wasnt particularly interested when producers from Americas Most Wanted suggested he offer his help. That changed when he saw evidence from the BTK killings, particularly the details of 11-year-old Josephine Oteros murder. It was bone chilling, Campbell said. When I saw that, I was in. EagleForce put a half-dozen of its experts on the case, setting up a virtual case file that pools all the evidence from the 31-year history of the BTK murders in a single database. That system cross-correllates data to find links that might not easily appear to detectives. It rates information by the probability it is true a known fact like an address is given a high value, while something from one of BTKs communiqus is given a low one. And it can analyze a suspects language through communications, patterns exhibited at crimes and in letters and facts about known movements and affiliations.

Memorial Stadium looked ready for the season opener last night. An inflatable Jayhawk greeted a few thousand fans as they entered the stadium. Meanwhile, the band was playing fight songs, the cheerleaders were leading the crowd and the football team played on the field. But last night wasnt the season opener; it was the teams annual Fan Appreciation Night. Fans were first treated to the end of the teams football practice and then were granted access to the field, where they mingled with players and received autographs. Senior Matt Berkey roamed the field after the practice looking for more players and coaches to sign his already-cluttered Kansas jersey. Senior quarterback Brian Luke signed his jersey with a silver pen. By the time Berkey was finished yesterday, he had 18 signatures. Berkey began getting signatures from players and coaches last year when coach Mark Mangino signed his jersey at a team pep rally. Berkey said he was excited for the upcoming season and that he was not going to listen to the media pundits, many of whom are picking the

When a player has a season like the one junior cornerback Charles Gordon had last year, it makes it easy to decide who will control the secondary. Gordon led the Big 12 Conference and tied for the national lead with seven interceptions last year and was named First-Team All Big 12 and Third-Team AP All American. Those accolades put Gordon in the national spotlight, and he was named a Preseason All-American this year. Hes also listed on several postseason award watch lists. Kansas coach Mark Mangino said Gordon was a shy and reserved per-

Baines was projected to be the teams starting cornerback opposite Gordon, but has missed practice because of a nagging injury. Mangino said he was impressed with Amadis performance so far and has named him the starting cornerback for now. Mangino is eager to get Baines back onto the field and contributing again, he said.

Senior tennis player Christine Skoda poses at Robinson Tennis Courts. The Jayhawks will look to the senior for leadership during the upcoming season.

Some tennis players shoot glances at opponents or yell obscenities out of frustration, but not senior tennis player Christine Skoda. The Edmonton, Ontario, senior doesnt have to display a temper to win tennis matches. Im told that Im too nice, Skoda said. Im the easiest person to play against, mentally. Im not mean. Being nice didnt take away from her game, though. Her positive outlook helped her earn two Big 12 Conference Player of the Week awards: one during her sophomore year and another one last year. Kansas tennis coach Amy

Hall-Holt said Skodas oncourt demeanor led to players and coaches occasionally joking around with her. We tease her and tell her to show more emotion and fight, Hall-Holt said. Skoda doesnt let anger get in the way; she doesnt show emotions. Thats just Skoda; thats who she is. Skodas laid-back mentality molded her into the team leader for the Jayhawks. The sports and fitness management major said she noticed that other tennis teams struggle with internal problems. She said she wanted to make sure this didnt happen with the Kansas tennis team on her watch. You hear stories about how other teams have girls that fight and dont get along, Skoda said. Since

I was a freshman, our team has always gotten along. The chemistry is good. Skoda said she learned the game of tennis from her older brothers and her parents, who were all tennis players. She started playing tennis when she was five or six. Like many young players, Skoda said she watched tennis and emulated certain techniques, like the ones of her brothers. My dad said I have one brothers forehand and the others backhand, Skoda said. This is good, because I got the good one from each. Skoda said she was able to reach a high skill level by playing with and against her brothers and parents. She said they elevated her game to the next level. Just making it to college tennis is probably my best

Imagine running 60 or more miles a week in addition to all the classes, studying, sleeping and social events that college students experience. For sophomore cross country runner Colby Wissel, this is a reality. Cross country runners at Kansas not only keep up with their hectic schedules, but they also have to keep their bodies and minds in superb condition. To achieve this, runners attend daily practices and train their bodies for long distances. We are doing mileage to get their stamina up because at the end of the season the guys will have to race a 10K and the ladies will have to race a 6K,

said Kansas cross country coach Stanley Redwine. Runners get one day off per week to comply with NCAA rules, but their training schedules are still rigorous. Routine is key; you cant get out of your routine, otherwise it can really mess you up, Wissel said. The closer you stick to your routine, the better off youre going to be. Senior runner Angela Pichardo said training started for some by running one or two miles before classes that day. After their daily classes, runners practice at 2:30 p.m. Wissel said practice could last up to two and a half hours. Pichardo said Redwine expected this kind of work ethic from his runners on a daily basis. Per day, he prefers six miles, Pichardo said. For now, its six per day, and

day off, Wissel said he still ran on days off to stay prepared. Wissel said runners maintained a healthy lifestyle off the track as well. Diet is definitely key, he said. You have to fuel the machine properly. After a day of classes, running and studying, the runners go to bed and start the process again the next day. Wissel said that although it wasnt always easy, he enjoyed the work. I dont think you can call this a sacrifice because its what we want to do, but it does take a lot of time, but it is something we enjoy, he said.

The associaTed Press PARIS Sounding convinced that Lance Armstrong is guilty of doping, the director of the Tour de France said we were all fooled and the seven-time champion owes an explanation for proven scientific facts from a newspaper report alleging he cheated to win cyclings most prestigious event. Jean-Marie Leblancs comments appeared in the French sports daily LEquipe yesterday, a day after the newspaper reported that six urine samples provided by Armstrong during the 99 Tour tested positive for the red blood cell-booster EPO. For the first time and these are no longer rumors, or insinuations, these are proven scientific facts someone has shown me that in 1999, Armstrong had a banned substance called EPO in his body, Leblanc said. The ball is now in his court. Why, how, by whom? He owes explanations to us and to everyone who follows the tour. Today, what LEquipe revealed shows me that I was fooled. We were all fooled. In a statement on his Web site on Tuesday, Armstrong denied ever taking performance enhancing drugs and dismissed the article as tabloid journalism. While Leblanc seemed convinced of Armstrongs guilt, fellow cyclists came to his defense. Armstrong always told me that he never used doping products, five-time winner Eddy Merckx told Le Monde newspaper. Choosing between a journalist and Lances word, I trust Armstrong. LEquipe is owned by the Amaury Group whose subsidiary, Amaury Sport Organization, organizes the Tour de France and other sporting events. The paper has often raised questions about whether Armstrong has ever used performance enhancing drugs. On Tuesday, the banner headline of its four-page report was The Armstrong Lie. EPO, formally known as erythropoietin, was on the list of banned substances at the time Armstrong won the first of his seven Tours, but there was no effective test then to detect it. The allegations took six years to surface because EPO tests on the 1999 samples were carried out only last year when scientists at the national doping test lab outside Paris opened them up again for research to perfect EPO screening. Another five-time Tour champion, Miguel Indurain, said he couldnt understand why scientists would use samples from the 99 Tour for their tests. I feel the news is in bad taste and out of place, given that it happened six years ago after his first Tour victory, and after he won six more, Indurain wrote in the Spanish sports daily Marca. With the little I have to go on, it is difficult to take a position, but I think at this stage theres no sense in stirring all this up. Arne Ljungqvist, chairman of the International Olympic Committees medical commission, said the urine samples from 1999 still could produce legitimate EPO test results. I believe they may well, if they have been properly stored without access to outside people so they cannot be tampered with. Also in a refrigerator or deep frozen, Ljungqvist said Wednesday in a phone interview with The Associated Press. If not in such a situation theres no guarantee they have not been subjected to undue temperatures. The International Cycling

Kansas sophomore running back Bruce Ringwood was arrested Sunday night, a spokesperson with the athletic department confirmed yesterday. According to KMBC-TV channel 9 in Kansas City, Ringwood was arrested at the Kenny Chesney concert at Kemper Arena in Kansas City, Mo., for two counts of assault. Associate Media Relations Director Mason Logan said that the team is still looking into the incident after the team learned of it just before yesterdays practice. Ringwood worked on the scout team last season as a linebacker. Ringwood is listed in the teams media guide as a running back and is from Blue Springs, Mo.

TAMPA, Fla. Former baseball star Dwight Gooden allegedly fled police after being stopped for drunken driving and his nephew, New York Yankees outfielder Gary Sheffield, says there is nothing his family can do to help anymore. Ive done pretty much everything you could possibly do, Sheffield said Tuesday at Yankee Stadium. It just comes to a point where you have to let him go through what hes got to go through. Sometimes, it is Gods plan for us to back off and let him do it, because the family has tried everything. Gooden, who has a history of drug abuse, left the scene of a traffic stop early Monday after refusing to get out of his 2004 BMW to take a field sobriety test, police spokeswoman Laura McElroy said Tuesday.

Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong of the U.S. waves on the podium the 20th and final stage of the Tour de France cycling race between Arpajon and Paris in a Sunday, July 25, 1999 file photo. French sports daily LEquipe reported yesterday that Lance Armstrong used the performance-enhancing drug EPO to win his first Tour de France title in 1999, a claim the seven-time champion immediately denied. LEquipe devoted four pages to its allegations, with the front-page headline The Armstrong Lie. The paper said that signs of EPO use were found in Armstrongs urine six times during the 1999 Tour. Union did not begin using a urine test for EPO until 2001. For years, it had been impossible to detect the drug, which builds endurance by boosting the production of oxygen-rich red blood cells. Armstrong has insisted throughout his career that he has never taken drugs to enhance his performance. In his autobiography, Its Not About the Bike, he said he was administered EPO during his chemotherapy treatment to battle cancer. It was the only thing that kept me alive, he wrote.

Longhorns look to national championship

By Daniel Berk

dberk@kansan.com
Kansan senior sportswriter

Editors Note: This is the sixth of 11 articles previewing Kansas competition in the Big 12 Conference. The articles will run every day from now until Sept. 1. Tomorrow the Kansan will look at Nebraska. It seems like Texas coach Mack Browns job is in jeopardy every season. Last year there were several Web sites and newspapers calling for Browns head after losing to rival Oklahoma for the fifth straight year. This season could decide Browns fate at Texas. The Longhorns were picked by the media in a preseason poll to win the conference, and expectations in Austin, Texas, are higher than ever before. Another reason fans are excited about the Longhorns upcoming season is because of the teams thrilling 38-37 victory last season in the Rose Bowl, against Michigan. Brown has been happy with the aftermath of that Rose Bowl and said it has had a positive impact on the team. I have been really pleased with the staff and the student athletes because all of them

have taken it as a positive and as a motivator to improve, Brown said. Our guys worked harder in the off season than ever before. The Longhorns will be led by legitimate Heisman Trophy candidate Vince Young, junior quarterback. Young was put in the national spotlight after his performance in the Rose Bowl. Young racked up 192 rushing yards and ran for four touchdowns. He also threw for a touchdown and had 180 yards passing, which led to him being named most valuable player in the Rose Bowl. He has a chance to be the winningest quarterback in Texas football history, and we are really excited about him going forward, Brown said. I think he will be one of the great quarterbacks to ever play college football before he leaves Texas, and I do think he will be an NFL quarterback, and a very, very good one. Young will be joined in the backfield by Selvin Young, ju-

nior running back. Brown said Selvin Young competed for the starting running back job two years ago, with current NFL player Cedric Benson, and almost won the job before getting injured. Brown said he expected Selvin Young to take some of the pressure off of Vince Young. Another player to watch on offense will be Limas Sweed, sophomore wide receiver. Sweed will be the main target for Vince Young and the most experienced player at the position. On defense the Longhorns will be led by one of the best players in the country, preseason All-American Rodrique Wright, senior defensive tackle. Wrights list of accolades is too long to list, but Texas coaches were ecstatic when Wright passed on the NFL and came back to school for his senior season. He is ending up his career as one of the great ones to ever play at the University of Texas, Brown said.

KANSAN file photo

Vince Young, then Texas sophomore quarterback, looks to pitch the ball during the second half of the Longhorns narrow victory against Kansas last season. Texas is predicted to win the Big 12 Conference this year. Wright was hobbled by injury much of last season, but is healthy this year. The linebacking unit is an area of concern for Brown. It will be led by senior Aaron Harris, but after that it is a young group who will try to replace Derrick Johnson, who was a first round NFL pick by the Kansas City Chiefs. Texas will get tested early in the season, as it travels to take on Ohio State in the second week of the season. Three weeks later, Texas will contend with its arch rival Oklahoma. Texas finishes its season with another tough game at Texas A&M. If the Longhorns can get past those three games, they could return to the Rose Bowl, but this time playing for the national championship. Edited by Anne Burgard

Rowing team hopes meeting draws prospective members

Chiefs defense prepares for solid season with help from offense
the associateD Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. Practicing against the Kansas City defense was a lot more fun before all these new guys showed up. With safety Sammie Knight and cornerback Patrick Surtain shadowing the wide receivers, pass routes are tougher to run. Offensive linemen, as a consequence, are hard-pressed to keep pass-rushers away from their quarterback. With rookie linebacker Derrick Johnson dashing sidelineto-sideline, those backbreaking long-gainers that have proved so calamitous in recent years, undoing the work of one of the leagues most explosive offenses, could become about as rare as they were in the days of the late Derrick Thomas. Although encouraging for coaches and fans, the improved defense is proving frustrating for guys like Dante Hall. Last year, no matter what they had, you could kind of get them regardless of what the coverage was, said the wide receiver/kick returner. Now its harder for us to get off the ball. Theyre a lot more aggressive. Theyre a lot more patient, more disciplined. Theyre smarter. Two of the Chiefs key offseason acquisitions have hardly been able to practice. But outside linebacker Kendrell Bell and defensive end Carlos Hall figured to get healed up enough to take part in Saturday nights exhibition game against Seattle and finally become a part of the package. If defensive coordinator Gunther Cunningham can integrate all the newcomers into his aggressive, take-charge scheme and keep them healthy and if an aging offense can hold its position among the leagues elite for just one more season the Chiefs could be headed for big things. Just a postseason appearance would be nice since theyve had only one since 1997. Based on practice, I predict a top 10 defense easy, said Hall. But its yet to be seen if they can take it to the field and do it. The Chiefs will also need a breakthrough season from Ryan Sims. The sixth player taken overall in the 2002 draft, Sims has been a disappointment on his best days, a bust on his worst. Last year he had just two sacks and 30 tackles.

Kansas assistant rowing coach Jennifer Myers will lead the annual rowing informational meeting tonight and tomorrow evening at 5 p.m. in the Wagnon Student-Athlete Center. The meeting is open to all KU women. The main thing we want to present is that you dont have to have past rowing experience to be on the team, she said. We just want to inform and educate about the sport and show how rowing works in a Division I school. Both sessions will demonstrate rowing technique, show last years video highlights, and have current or past rowers speak about their experiences.

The highlight video was nice to see because it showed what you could be a part of, rower Dyana Lawrence said. Lawrence attended the meetings last year as a sophomore and is continuing with the sport this year at the varsity level. I think hearing the women speak about past experiences was the determining factor on whether I was going to do the sport or not, Lawrence said. They gave a good overview of why they choose to row and what its like. They also answered questions on time commitment and traveling. The rowing team is available on the side of Wescoe, in front of Stauffer-Flint, to speak to women interested in learning more about the team. We just want to remind

remind women of the meeting and ge them to come out.

Cincinnati buys out coachs contract

The AssociATed Press CINCINNATI Bob Huggins agreed yesterday to step down as Cincinnatis basketball coach, ousted by a school president determined to change the programs image. One day after Huggins was given a choice of resigning or being fired, he agreed to take a $3 million buyout of his contract. The schools offer includes a chance to stay for three more months, giving advice on basketball recruits and related matters. We are working on the details of the agreement, which may or may not be finalized in the next 24 hours, said Richard Katz, the coachs attorney. Huggins left Katzs office without comment, dressed in his black Cincinnati jacket, when no final deal was reached. The university sent Katz a letter earlier in the day outlining the $3 million buyout. The letter, obtained through a Freedom of Information request, offered Huggins $110,000 per month for the next three months to stay on and ease the coaching transition. His duties will include providing information about the current team, identifying and commenting upon potential recruits, and documenting his institutional memory of the basketball program during his 16year coaching tenure, the letter said. An interim coach has not been chosen. The school doesnt anticipate hiring a permanent replacement until after the 2005-06 season, its first in the Big East. The school will have a difficult time attracting recruits in the meantime. The volcanic coach who won more games than anyone else in Cincinnati history was forced out by an academically minded school president who doesnt like Huggins history or philosophy. President Nancy Zimpher sent Huggins an ultimatum on Tuesday, giving him 24 hours to either take the buyout, stay in a capacity other than basketball coach or get fired from the job. It could happen to anyone when you get hired by a different president, Louisville coach Rick Pitino said Wednesday. Theres a difference in philosophies. It happens. Its a change in CEOs. They have their own people, their own philosophies, and its different than what Bob stands for. Zimpher, hired in 2003, wants the program to recruit players with better grades and an aversion to trouble. She also wants her coaches to be better role models. Huggins arrest and conviction for drunken driving last year dismayed Zimpher, a strong-willed administrator who wound up in a power struggle with the strong-willed coach. She refused to extend his contract last May, setting the stage for his exit. He may have been king of the hilltop campus, but it was Zimphers hill. During a news conference on Tuesday evening, Zimpher insisted that the basketball program had to live up to her standards. We expect to recruit very strong students, both on the court and in the classroom, Zimpher said. We expect our coaches to be role models, and we expect our students to be role models. I will not apologize for setting high standards. During Huggins 16-year stay at Cincinnati, the Bearcats made the Final Four and were ranked No. 1 nationally for the first time in 34 years. They also developed a history of player arrests and violations that resulted in an NCAA probation in 1998 and a hoodlum image nationally. In the 1990s, the Bearcats had one of the lowest graduation rates in the nation. After last season ended, a player was kicked off the team for having a gun on campus. An assistant coach was charged with drunken driving, but was acquitted at trial. Pitino, who sent Huggins an encouraging message after his heart attack in 2003, was saddened by the ouster. Bob Huggins, a lot of times, is misunderstood, Pitino said. Hes someone who cares a great deal about his players. He wants to see them do well and he really goes the extra yard for players. Huggins ouster less than two months before the start of the season shocked fans and the small number of students who were on campus yesterday. Fall quarter classes begin Sept. 21. The timing irked some students. If Zimpher was going to get rid of him, she should have done it after the DUI and not waited until now when its so close to the start of the season, said junior Alan Gerken. Cincinnati fans have readily forgiven players for suspensions and arrests because the program has been so successful.

preseason. He has also been pleased with Ronnies brother, Donnie. Donnie, also a senior cornerback, will see playing time this season. Mangino said he could see increased playing time if Gordon gets more repetitions at wide receiver. The brothers work ethic has pleased Mangino, he said. When I got here four years ago, they would have had a rough time covering me, Mangino said. They never give up. They work hard.

With the help of our coaching staff and our strength staff, they have made themselves good football players. The safety positions are projected to be filled by junior Jerome Kemp and senior Rodney Fowler. Fowler played in all 11 games last season and made two starts. He had 25 tackles and had his best game against Iowa State, where he collected eight tackles. Mangino said he expected to see that kind of performance repeated this year. Rodney Fowler is coming on, and hes a very intelligent player, Mangino said. Hes a guy that were expecting to have a big sea-

son. Kemp beat out freshman Aqib Talib, who took a redshirt last season, for the other safety position. Kemp played in all 11 games last season as a safety and also contributed on special teams. Mangino said he was confident in the secondary and was hoping the backups would make significant contributions. We have four or five pretty good players and two swing players, Mangino said. The front line guys are going to be pretty strong. Edited by Tricia Masenthin

tory, senior linebacker Nick Reid said, after which the fans responded with excitement. The theme was consistent as the captains and Mangino spoke. They said they will be ready for a suc-

cessful season, which begins Sept. 3 against Florida Atlantic, and they thanked the fans for their support. It is going to be a great season, Mangino said. We are going to sneak up on a few teams. As the rain began to fall after practice closed, Mangino made reference to the season opener in 2003 when Kansas lost to North-

western. The game was played in a constant downpour. You are all probably the same fans who were here for the Northwestern game a few years ago, Mangino said. There is no fair weather in any of you folks. Edited by Tricia Masenthin
