    A task force for healthy living at the University
    of Kansas began its crusade for body acceptance
    Monday by kicking off its fourth annual Celebrate
    EveryBody Week.
    Celebrate EveryBody Week was created to
    address the issues
    posed by National
    Eating Disorder
    Awareness Week
    without the nega-
    tive stigma of eat-
    ing disorders, said
    Ann Chapman, reg-
    istered dietitian at
    Watkins Memorial
    Health Center.
    It just makes
    sense that a positive
    approach is going to
    draw students in,
    she said. Highlight-
    ing the problem in-
    stead of the solution
    would keep students
    most in need of help
    from getting infor-
    mation, she said.
    Indira Hogan,
    staff psychologist at
    Counseling and Psy-
    chological Services,
    said different stud-
    ies estimate between
    5 and 30 percent of
    college students had
    an eating disorder.
    Causes ranged
    from poor coping
    skills and family
    support to low self-
    esteem and distort-
    ed body image, she
    said.
    H.O.M.E.B.A.S.E.,
    the task force that
    organized the event,
    started the week by
    posting positive af-
    frmations on sticky
    notes in residence
    and scholarship
    halls, as well as at
    the Burge and Kan-
    sas Unions and in
    the Student Recre-
    ation and Fitness
    Center. For lunch
    today and Thursday,
    all campus dining
    facilities will offer
    special Better Bites
    selections with a 10
    percent discount.

    Students living in the schol-
    arship halls were written up in
    early February for pictures on
    facebook.com that indicated a
    party violating the scholarship
    halls alcohol policy.
    Patrick Griffth, a Lawrence
    freshman who lives in Pearson
    Scholarship Hall, was one of
    about 20 students who received
    an e-mail from Lance Gillett,
    the hall director, explaining an
    alcohol violation and further
    consequences that were to fol-
    low. Griffth said he didnt get a
    notice about the violation until
    about two weeks after the inci-
    dent. He also received a scholar-
    ship hall judicial report that was
    fled describing the situation.
    The housing department re-
    port indicated that the pictures
    were seen on a residents profle
    by Robert Quach, Battenfeld
    Scholarship Hall director, and
    passed on to Gillett. Gillett then
    forwarded it on to Sarah Hayner,
    complex director, on Feb. 6.
    Griffth got in trouble because
    of a picture album posted on
    facebook.com that was created
    on Jan. 22 indicating a party, and
    identifying several students drink-
    ing in one of the students rooms.
    Griffth was in the pictures for the
    party that took place on the frst
    day of the semester and doesnt
    deny he was intoxicated.

    Kansan staff writer
    Tonight the Lawrence City
    Commissioners will vote on an
    ordinance that focuses on mak-
    ing possession of marijuana a
    city misdemeanor offense. If
    passed, frst-time marijuana
    possession will be moved from
    district court to municipal
    court, meaning a person would
    receive a ticket and court date
    rather than being arrested. The
    violation would also not affect
    student loans if moved to mu-
    nicipal court.
    Because of the Higher Educa-
    tion Act Drug Provision, indi-
    viduals convicted in state court
    of drug use typically lose their
    current federal fnancial aid, ac-
    cording to a press release from
    Laura Green, executive director
    of Drug Policy Forum of Kan-
    sas.
    Based on government sta-
    tistics, 10 percent of students
    try weed. Thats well over 2,000
    people, Green said. We want
    students to stay in school and
    not lose their student loans.
    Jerry Little, city prosecutor
    for the municipal court, said
    that this was the main reason
    to bring the violation to the mu-
    nicipal court side.
    The meeting starts at 6:35
    tonight in Lawrence City Hall,
    6 E. Sixth St. Two separate
    versions have been prepared
    for discussion, according to a
    memorandum by Scott J. Miller,
    staff attorney. One version states
    that there would be a minimum
    fne of $100 and a mandatory
    evaluation must occur for pos-
    session of marijuana. The other
    version states that there would
    be a minimum fne of $300 and
    evaluation of the offender is not
    mandatory for possession.
    Both versions incorporate
    marijuana-specifc evaluation
    and treatment programs for pos-
    session of marijuana. Although
    treatment is not always manda-
    tory, the court may order drug
    abuse evaluation, treatment or
    education if appropriate.
    Currently, of the 50 largest
    cities in Kansas, 32 of them
    prosecute frst-time possession
    of marijuana in municipal court.
    Only three of the 32 cities with
    marijuana ordinances have en-
    hanced penalties: Overland
    Park, Garden City and Olathe.
    The ordinance was frst put
    on the agenda on Aug. 30.
    Green did not make her presen-
    tation to the Commission until
    Sept. 6. It was discussed at four
    other meetings during the fall.
    Green met with the city staff in
    January.
    This is really the last chance
    the ordinance has, Green said.
    The City Commission cant
    seem to come to an agreement
    on this. I feel its really impor-
    tant that the city passes this or-
    dinance.
    Commissioner Mike Amyx
    said that one of the reasons there
    was such a gap between Nov. 29
    and tonight was that they had
    received public opinion inquir-
    ing about an evaluation process
    of the offenders. He said it took
    a while to entail exactly what
    that would mean and how they
    were going to judge each per-
    sons evaluation.
    In Kansas, frst-time marijua-
    na prosecutions are punishable
    by a fne of up to $2,500 and one
    year in jail. It is a class A misde-
    meanor offense.
    Amyx in the past has support-
    ed the $300 minimum fne.
    We would like to make a f-
    nal decision since it continues
    to be discussed, and fnd some
    middle ground, he said.

    KU professor receives
    highest honor in feld
    Paul Willhite has become
    the fourth KU professor elect-
    ed to the highest distinction in
    his feld, the National Academy
    of Engineering.
    The University of Kansas is
    the only university in Kansas
    to have professors in the acad-
    emy, which has 2,000 peer-
    elected members.
    Willhite, who has been at
    the University since 1969, has
    already held many leadership
    positions in the school and
    University, directed projects
    and received other distinctions.
    These honors include the Ross
    E. Forney Distinguished Profes-
    sor of Chemical and Petroleum
    Engineering, the Lester C. Uren
    Award, the John Franklin Carll
    Award, and the Distinguished
    Achievement Award for Petro-
    leum Engineering Faculty.
    Other KU professors elected
    to the academy were Stan Rolfe,
    professor of Civil, Environmen-
    tal, and Architectural Engineer-
    ing, and professors emeriti Ross
    McKinney and Dick Moore.

    Senate forum to focus
    on student issues
    Student Senate will hold an
    open Town Hall Meeting at 7
    tonight at Alderson Auditorium
    in the Kansas Union.
    Marynell Jones, student
    body vice president, will con-
    duct the event.
    There will be a discussion
    on topics such as tuition, trans-
    portation, fnance and student
    services. At the end of the
    evening there will be an open
    forum for further questions.
    This is a great chance for
    students and student organiza-
    tions to come and speak with
    their elected representatives,
    Jones said. With this sort of
    contact, Student Senate can
    ensure they are doing what
    matters the most for their fel-
    low students.
    Student Senate has held
    similar meetings in the past,
    but this year more of an effort
    is being made for publicity and
    increased participation from
    individual student groups be-
    cause of the current Senates
    focus on outreach efforts.

    Check that timer: Bag
    of popcorn clears hall
    Popcorn popped several
    students and faculty members
    from their desks at Strong Hall
    Monday afternoon.
    Every now and again
    someone sets the timer to four
    or fve minutes instead of one
    or two, said Rodney Smith,
    general maintenance and
    repair senior technician for
    Facilities Operations.
    The alarm was set off by
    smoke from room 37 in the
    basement of Strong Hall,
    where someone left a bag of
    popcorn in the microwave too
    long. At about 4 p.m., a fre
    truck and KU facilities workers
    responded.
    For most, the alarm was the
    only indication that there was
    a problem in the building.
    I have no idea whats go-
    ing on, said Rey Lastimosa,
    Houston junior. I was just in
    Marvin and saw the fre truck
    outside.
    Lastimosa works as a
    calculus tutor in the building
    and was just showing up for
    work when the crowd met him
    outside.
    The onlookers were let back
    in the building by 4:45 p.m.

    DETROIT A second vic-
    tim died Monday after a man
    opened fre during a Sunday
    church service, sending fright-
    ened parishioners ducking un-
    der the pews for safety. The gun-
    man later killed himself.
    The victim who died Monday,
    identifed only as a man in his
    50s, was shot while trying to
    protect his wife from a carjack-
    ing attempt outside the church.
    The shooting at Zion Hope
    Missionary Baptist Church
    killed a 38-year-old woman and
    wounded a girl sitting next to
    her. The violence grew out of
    a domestic dispute, said police
    Second Deputy Chief James
    Tate. The gunman was identi-
    fed as 22-year-old Kevin L. Col-
    lins, who reportedly went to the
    church looking for his 19-year-
    old girlfriend, Jamika Williams.
    The young womans aunt,

    News that Collins began shoot-
    ing after Williams mother re-
    fused to tell him where to fnd
    her daughter. The mother, Ro-
    setta Williams, was killed.
    The gunman then left the
    church and tried to carjack a
    woman before shooting her
    husband when he tried to inter-
    vene.
    About 5 1/2 hours later, Tate
    said offcers spotted Collins
    walking about a mile south of
    the church and saw him run be-
    hind a home. An offcer then
    heard a loud boom, Tate said.
    Collins died of what appeared
    to be a self-inficted gunshot
    wound.

    Since the inception of H.O.M.E.B.A.S.E.,
    which stands for Healthy Options for Move-
    ment, Exercise, Body Acceptance and Savvy
    Eating, in 2001, the group has aimed to in-
    crease awareness about the importance of body
    appreciation and the dangers of eating disor-
    ders.
    While this week represents a good opportu-
    nity for H.O.M.E.B.A.S.E. to advocate its mis-
    sion on campus, Chapman said a campus-wide,
    long-term program would work best in achiev-
    ing the groups goals.
    One week is not going to change behavior in
    a dramatic way, Chapman said.
    The Better Bites program, established to iden-
    tify healthy choices in campus dining facilities,
    was one of the frst programs H.O.M.E.B.A.S.E.
    launched.
    Joni Warner, president of H.O.M.E.B.A.S.E.
    and Wichita junior, said she joined the task
    force her freshman year to promote healthy eat-
    ing.
    Now, she said the challenge is getting stu-
    dents to realize the resources H.O.M.E.B.A.S.E.
    has to offer.
    This week will allow the organization to edu-
    cate students about its mission, Warner said.

    For anybody that was in a picture, it was

    Jennifer Wamelink, assistant director for
    the Department of Student Housing, said it
    wasnt a situation where the Department of
    Student Housing was looking to get students
    in trouble.
    In general, we only respond to things that
    are reported to us, she said.
    Wamelink said students are frst given an
    opportunity for a hearing if they choose to
    do so, before any decisions are made regard-
    ing responsibility for the violation and con-
    sequences. Students in residence halls other
    than the scholarship halls have not gotten in
    trouble because of facebook.com pictures,
    she said.
    Griffth said that as his punishment he had to
    read an article online and write a paper to give
    to the scholarship hall director.
    He also has to give an hour-long presentation
    about the alcohol policy, in which he needs to
    get 10 residents to attend the meeting.
    The deadline for the paper and the presenta-
    tion is before spring break.

    Coast Guard presents concerns
    By Liz Sidoti
    THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
    WASHINGTON Citing broad
    gaps in U.S. intelligence, the Coast
    Guard raised concerns weeks ago
    that it could not determine whether
    a United Arab Emirates-based com-
    pany seeking a stake in some U.S.
    port operations might support ter-
    rorist operations.
    The disclosure came during a
    hearing Monday on Dubai-owned
    DP Worlds plans to assume signif-
    cant operations at six leading U.S.
    ports.
    It also clouded whether the Bush
    administrations agreement to con-
    duct an unusual investigation into
    the pending takeovers security
    risks would allay lawmakers con-
    cerns.
    The administration said the Coast
    Guards concerns were raised dur-
    ing its review of the deal, which it
    approved Jan. 17, and that all those
    questions were resolved. London-
    based Peninsular & Oriental Steam
    Navigation Co. now handles the
    port operations.
    There are many intelligence gaps,
    concerning the potential for DPW or
    P&O assets to support terrorist op-
    erations, that precludes an overall
    threat assessment of the potential
    merger, an unclassifed Coast Guard
    intelligence assessment said.
    The breadth of the intelligence
    gaps also infer potential unknown
    threats against a large number of po-
    tential vulnerabilities, said the half-
    page assessment. Offcials said it was
    an unclassifed excerpt from a larger
    document.
    In a statement, the Coast Guard
    said the concerns refected in the ex-
    cerpt ultimately were addressed and
    that other U.S. intelligence agencies
    answered the questions raised.
    The Coast Guard assessment
    raised questions about the security
    of the company.

    Max
    continued from page 1a
    In his 60 years as a Jayhawk ra-
    dio announcer, Max has traveled
    from sunny Hawaii to frantic New
    York Citys Madison Square Gar-
    den to blistering Anchorage, Alas-
    ka. He announced Jayhawk bas-
    ketball national championships in
    Seattle in 1952 and in Kansas City,
    Mo., in 1988. He has played golf
    with Dean Smith, landed Roy Wil-
    liams in trouble at a Florida Sea
    World, fallen in love with a baby
    gorilla named Max and made
    thousands of fans through his dis-
    tinct baritone voice on the radio.
    How did all this happen?
    Oh, thats a long story, he
    said 60 years long.
    Going live
    It started in high school when
    Max went on a feld trip to the
    University of Kansas. It was a
    journalism excursion to learn
    and practice radio broadcasting.
    A teacher told Max he had an
    amazing voice, and she recom-
    mended he try his hand at broad-
    casting. He heeded that advice.
    Max was broadcasting news for
    WREN radio when he was asked
    to broadcast the playoff game be-
    tween the Aggies and the Jayhawks.
    With no prior experience and no
    one teaching him how, he took the
    job. Little did he realize that he
    would continue calling games for
    KU into the next century, from the
    Big Dipper, Wilt Chamberlain, to
    the Kansas Comet, Gale Sayers,
    to Danny Manning and the 1988
    championship basketball team to
    Nick Reid and the Forth Worth
    Bowl champions.
    Old friends
    The voice of the Jayhawks said
    his favorite moment as a broadcast-
    er was the 1952 basketball national
    championship game. The Phog Al-
    len-coached team sported Player of
    the Year Clyde Lovelette, who led
    Kansas to an 80-63 shellacking of
    St. Johns in the game.
    One member of that team was
    Dean Smith, now the winningest
    coach in mens basketball histo-
    ry. The two frst met when Max
    broadcast a high school basket-
    ball playoff game in March 1949
    between Smiths Topeka High
    School and Lawrence High
    School. Smith remembers that
    game because Max made me
    sound good, he said.
    The two remain close friends,
    playing golf together whenever
    Smith is in town.
    Hes a good putter, but he
    needs to work on his iron play,
    Smith said about Max.
    Max said, I cant put the ball
    on the green from a hundred
    yards.
    Regardless of missed greens
    and miles of separation, Smith
    said, I always look forward to
    seeing him.
    Popcorn and dolphins
    Roy Williams, who left his job
    as an assistant to Smith at North
    Carolina to coach the Jayhawks,
    said he had a million Max sto-
    ries from his 15 years at Kansas.
    We were with the team in
    Gainesville, and we decided to
    go Sea World, he said.
    Williams said he and Max
    were standing next to a dolphin
    pool, and Williams was eating
    from a bag of popcorn.
    Do dolphins like popcorn?
    Williams asked Max.
    I think they would, coach,
    Max said, egging Williams on to
    throw a handful into the tank.
    Williams did exactly that,
    and he will never forget what
    ensued. As the kernels hit the
    water, a worker across the pool
    yelled angrily at Williams.
    Hey! Are you trying to kill our
    dolphins? Williams said, imper-
    sonating the park employee.
    Shocked, Williams turned to
    Max for support. To his surprise,
    Max was gone, leaving Williams
    to take the scolding.
    I turned around and he was
    50 feet away, Williams laughed.
    It was his idea, and I was the
    one getting yelled at.
    Max got away, safe from park
    security.
    When he threw it I was at the
    dolphin tank. When he turned
    around I was at the whale tank,
    Max said.
    Now coaching at North Caroli-
    na, Williams stays close with Max.
    I never looked at Max as a
    member of the media. I looked at
    him as a friend, Williams said.
    The road home
    No matter where the road took
    Max, he always found his way
    home to his wife, Isobel. The cou-
    ple has two children, three grand-
    children and one great-grandchild.
    Max said life on the road was not
    taxing on his family matters.
    The great-grandfather said he
    traveled for four or fve football
    games a year and about 15 road
    basketball games.
    He said he always looked for-
    ward to going home, but enjoyed
    sightseeing along the way.
    Sixty years of love
    Maxs Midwestern charm has
    attracted many admirers in his
    60-year tenure.
    Kansas Athletics Director Lew
    Perkins said, Max is just history.
    Williams said, There are few
    Max Falkenstiens. No one will
    ever touch 60 again.
    Smith said, All you can do is
    praise it. He shouldnt retire.
    Fans he encounters on game-
    day let him know how they feel
    about him.
    Perkins said, He is one of
    the most beloved people in Kan-
    sas history.
    So beloved, in fact, the Topeka
    Zoo once named a gorilla Max
    the Gorilla after the announcer.
    Max even went with a zoo
    crew to Dallas to pick up the
    zoos new baby gorilla, cradling
    him in his arms like an infant on
    the fight home to Topeka.
    Legend of the Phog
    Max shies away from the
    word legend, which his
    friends throw at him like passes
    quarterbacks have thrown to re-
    ceivers in the games hes called
    for six decades.
    Legend is a hard word to
    know what it means, he said.
    I dont know if it goes to some-
    one whos been around so damn
    long, or if they just enjoyed the
    work theyve done.
    One longtime listener, Earl
    Merkel, 73, travels from Russell
    to Lawrence for each home game.
    Merkel has listened to Max since
    the late 1940s. For away games,
    Merkel turns down the television
    and tunes in to his favorite radio
    broadcaster for sideline analysis.
    He said he had enjoyed Max ev-
    ery year for six decades. Every-
    one in the state knows him by
    his frst name, Merkel said.
    Everyone realizes hes a
    warehouse of athletics knowl-
    edge, he said.
    Hank Booth, the public ad-
    dress announcer at mens basket-
    ball games, said he had known
    Max since he was a child and also
    had listened to Max for decades.
    Hes a legendary Kansas
    broadcaster, said Booth, whose
    family was infuential in the de-
    velopment of radio in Lawrence.
    Signing off
    In an arena where fans stand
    on their toes to watch long, lanky
    players enter the court many
    near 7 feet tall a 5-foot-8 man
    with snowy white hair, a blue
    sweater and khakis keeps his
    own trail of admirers. As Max
    makes his way to the sideline,
    students young enough to be his
    great-grandchildren stand up for
    Max, like one blue wave, sparked
    by the broadcasters splash. He
    is the only 81-year-old who re-
    ceives a standing ovation every
    time he steps on the court.
    Max will make that walk one
    last time in the feldhouse on
    Wednesday. When he leaves, he
    will take his signature broadcast
    delivery with him. Radio speak-
    ers will no longer carry his bal-
    anced analysis and lively, articu-
    late, baritone voice.
    He calls his 60th season a
    good place to stop.
    Where will Max go after the
    last buzzer sounds? If he had
    his choice of all the places he
    has called away games, hed
    head for Hawaii.
    Mauis my favorite, hands
    down, he said.
    He appreciated the history
    of Madison Square Garden and
    said, laughing, The Alaska
    shootout was interesting, but I
    dont recommend anyone take a
    trip there for Thanksgiving.
    Max will not disappear com-
    pletely from the Jayhawk nation.
    He will join the Athletics Depart-
    ment after retiring from broad-
    casting, working directly for Per-
    kins on special assignments.
    But Jayhawk fans need not
    worry. The man theyve known
    simply as Max for 60 years will
    not disappear into the phog.
    Ill be around, he said.

    20% discount for students
    By RoBeRt tanneR
    THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
    WASHINGTON Republi-
    can governors are openly worry-
    ing that the Bush administrations
    latest stumbles from the natural
    disaster of Hurricane Katrina to
    those of its own making on pre-
    scription drugs and ports security
    are taking an election-year toll
    on the party back home.
    The GOP governors reluctant-
    ly acknowledge that the series
    of gaffes threatens to undermine
    public confdence in President
    Bushs ability to provide secu-
    rity, which has long been his
    greatest strength among voters.
    Youve got solid conserva-
    tives coming up speaking like
    they havent before, its likely
    that somethings going on at the
    grass roots, said Republican
    Mark Sanford of South Caro-
    lina. Whether its temporary or
    not remains to be seen.
    The unease was clear in inter-
    views with more than a dozen
    governors over the weekend,
    including nearly half of the Re-
    publicans attending the winter
    meeting of the National Gov-
    ernors Association. The annual
    conference was taking place in
    a capital enthralled by the politi-
    cal frestorm over government
    plans to approve takeover of op-
    erations at some terminals at six
    U.S. ports by a company owned
    by the United Arab Emirates
    government.
    Despite the discomfort, how-
    ever, Republican governors gave
    the president a rock-star welcome
    as the headliner at a glitzy Mon-
    day night reception that added
    $9.6 million to GOP campaign
    coffers for fall races. I thank you
    for your stead-
    fast support,
    Bush told his
    statehouse col-
    leagues.
    Democ r at s
    see opportunity,
    and even those
    in conservative states say the
    administrations missteps will
    have a ripple effect politically at
    home. I do think theres a con-
    siderable degree of skepticism
    about whats been happening at
    the federal level, said Democrat
    Kathleen Sebelius of Kansas. If
    you didnt pick it up on Katrina,
    you did when you tried to help
    your parents get drugs through
    the new Medicare program.
    But it wasnt Bushs political
    opponents alone who saw weak-
    nesses. So did his allies list-
    ing the days of chaos in New
    Orleans after the hurricane, the
    nationwide confusion over the
    drug prescription program that
    forced many states to step in to
    help seniors get medications, and
    the ports security debacle that
    has drawn criticism from lead-
    ing Republicans
    in Congress and
    the states.
    I dont think
    he was well

    THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
    NEW ORLEANS Tourists
    and locals stood side-by-side
    in some spots 6 to 8 feet deep
    as two of the Carnival seasons
    biggest and glitziest parades
    rolled through a city struggling to
    reclaim some of its famous fun.
    Its very special, said Bar-
    bara Sykes, who few in from
    Irving, Texas, where shes been
    living since Hurricane Ka-
    trina. Its part of my heart, my
    blood.
    The prelude to Mardi Gras
    or Fat Tuesday brought party-
    hungry crowds to New Orleans
    traditional parade route Sunday,
    nearly six months after Katrina
    fooded 80 percent of the city
    and dispersed more than two-
    thirds of the population.
    Mardi Gras is just a symbol
    of the fact that New Orleans
    is going to come back, said
    Stephanie Hall, 28, a city resi-
    dent. New Orleans has always
    done what it wants to do and its
    gonna come back whether the
    country wants it to or not.
    A threat of thunderstorms Sat-
    urday prompted a one day delay
    of the Krewe of Endymions pa-
    rade, which followed the Krewe
    of Bacchus through the Uptown
    neighborhood on Sunday night.
    Three smaller parades were held
    in the afternoon.
    Lori Caswell, 34, of Chesa-
    peake, Va., said this is her frst
    time participating in the festivi-
    ties and she was surprised by
    the number of people involved.
    Its a blast, she yelled, above
    the screams of children seeking
    beads. Its like no other fun Ive
    ever had.
    Caswells friend, Yvette Hair-
    ston, said she was glad the pa-
    rades drew so many people
    back to her hometown because
    its a sign that people are putting
    money back into the economy.
    Its a sign theres life here,
    she said. Its a rebirth.
    The Zulu Social Aid and Plea-
    sure Club, the predominantly
    black organization that puts
    on one of Fat Tuesdays most
    beloved parades, was sched-
    uled Monday to hold its an-
    nual Lundi Gras party the
    start of the ceremonial arrival
    of make-believe monarchs Rex
    and the king of Zulu by boat on
    the Mississippi River.
    While some decried the citys
    plan to hold Mardi Gras celebra-
    tions while tens of thousands of
    residents were displaced, Ebony
    Jenkins, who lost her home, car
    and possessions in the food,
    was in a festive mood nonethe-
    less.
    My take on it is: Let it
    roll, she said as she waited
    for foats and masked riders to
    fll the street and shed a rain
    of doubloons and beads on the
    throngs.
    Celebrities in town for the
    long weekend included musi-
    cian Harry Connick Jr., actors
    Dan Aykroyd, Michael Keaton
    and Jim Belushi, and CNNs
    Anderson Cooper, who rode on
    a foat.
    Nearby, Mark Krasnoff and
    Monica Verdin sold boudin a
    type of sausage mixed with rice,
    onions and peppers to pa-
    rade-goers.

    An Afghan National Army soldier prays near the Policharki Prison in Kabul, Afghanistan, on Monday. Security forces with tanks and heavy guns surrounded
    Kabuls main prison Monday, as authorities resumed negotiations with rioting prisoners but warned they could use force.
    By Amir ShAh
    THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
    KABUL, Afghanistan Re-
    bellious inmates at Kabuls main
    prison agreed Monday to halt
    violence, and authorities said
    they restored supplies of water,
    electricity and food to the pris-
    oners after four people were
    killed and 38 wounded in the
    two-day uprising.
    The supplies were withheld
    late Sunday from the roughly
    2,000 prisoners in the facility,
    including women and their chil-
    dren, even though the violence
    was blamed only on some 350
    Taliban and al-Qaida detainees.
    Although the agreement to
    stop rioting was only temporary,
    offcials said they were optimis-
    tic about a breakthrough in ne-
    gotiations with the inmates.
    The food, water and electric-
    ity has been restored. For the
    time being, I am optimistic. Ev-
    erything is quiet. Lets see what
    happens tomorrow, said Abdul
    Salaam Bakshi, chief of prisons
    in Afghanistan.
    Hundreds of police and sol-
    diers circled the sprawling Poli-
    charki jail on the outskirts of the
    Afghan capital, Kabul, in tanks
    and with other heavy weapons
    late Sunday.
    Gunfre rang out from inside
    the facility until late Monday,
    when news broke of progress in
    the talks. Within hours, truck-
    loads of police withdrew. Many
    remaining soldiers lounged on
    the ground, sipping tea and
    smoking cigarettes as the ten-
    sion eased.
    The prisoners are believed
    armed with small knives and
    clubs fashioned from wrecked
    furniture, but do not have guns.
    Sibghatullah Mujaddedi, the
    chief government negotiator,
    said the prisoners told him that
    they would not launch any
    more attacks right now. He de-
    clined to elaborate.
    I promised them I would do
    my best to solve their problems,
    and they trust me, he told re-
    porters outside the prison.
    Mujaddedi said the negotia-
    tors reached an agreement with
    the prisoners for the wounded
    inmates to be taken to a hos-
    pital, but it was not clear when
    this would happen. He also said
    prison authorities were asked to
    help bury the dead inmates, but
    did not elaborate further.
    During the talks, the prison-
    ers made a range of demands,
    including an amnesty for an
    unspecifed number of inmates,
    Mujaddedi said.
    A purported spokesman for
    the prisoners called The Associ-
    ated Press and demanded new
    trials for the inmates, claiming
    many were innocent or their
    sentences were too long.
    Two-thirds of the prisoners
    here are innocent. The courts
    were unfair, said the man,
    who identifed himself only by
    the name Maqsodi and said he
    was calling from inside one of
    the seized prison blocks. It was
    not possible immediately to
    confrm the mans identity.
    Feruza Kahiastani, a mem-
    ber of the Afghan Independent
    Human Rights Commission,
    told AP after meeting the pris-
    oners that she was also opti-
    mistic of a breakthrough, but
    warned it could take a long
    time.
    Bakshi said no deadline
    had been set for a deal to be
    reached.

    Pope proclaims
    embryos human
    at earliest stages
    By Nicole WiNfield
    THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
    VATICAN CITY Pope
    Benedict XVI said Monday that
    embryos developed for in vitro
    fertilization deserve the same
    right to life as fetuses, children
    and adults and that that right
    extends to embryos even before
    they are transferred into a wom-
    ans womb.
    The Vatican has long held that
    human life begins at conception,
    but Benedicts comments were
    signifcant because he specifed
    that even an embryo in its earli-
    est stages when it is just a few
    cells is just as much a human
    life as an older being.
    The pope made the comments
    during an audience with mem-
    bers of the Pontifcal Academy
    for Life, who opened a Vatican-
    sponsored conference Monday
    on the ethics surrounding the
    handling of embryos before they
    are implanted during in vitro
    procedures.
    The Vatican opposes in vitro
    procedures because embryos
    created in a laboratory are often
    discarded, whereas others are
    frozen and still others are cre-
    ated solely for experimentation
    or to create stem cells.
    Benedict repeated the Ro-
    man Catholic Church position
    that life begins at the moment
    of conception and deserves to
    be respected and protected from
    that moment on a position
    set out most authoritatively in
    the 1995 encyclical Evange-
    lium Vitae.
    That encyclical did not spe-
    cifcally address the status of an
    embryo before it is implanted
    after in vitro fertilization the
    two or three days of growth in
    a laboratory during which the
    fertilized egg is dividing into
    a group of cells that are trans-
    ferred by a doctor into a wom-
    ans uterus.
    Benedict made clear that
    there should be no moral dis-
    tinction between an embryo
    before implantation and after
    even though he acknowledged
    there is no explicit teaching on
    the frst days of life in Scripture.
    The Magisterium of the
    church has constantly pro-
    claimed the sacred and invio-
    lable character of every human
    life, from its conception to its
    natural end, he said.
    This moral judgment is val-
    id already at the beginnings of
    life of an embryo, before it is
    implanted in the womb of the
    mother, who will care for it and
    nourish it for nine months until
    the moment of birth, he said.
    The love of God doesnt
    make any difference between
    the newly conceived, still in
    the womb of his mother, and
    the baby, or the young person,
    or the mature man or the old
    man, he said. He doesnt
    make the distinction because in
    each of them he sees his own
    image and similarity.
    While there is no consensus
    among scientists about when
    life begins and thus deserves
    legal protection many sci-
    entists believe life starts when
    the frst neurological tissues
    are evident, about two to three
    weeks after fertilization, said
    Dr. Jacques Cohen, a reproduc-
    tive scientist in New York who
    was not at the conference.
    Scientists draw lines at dif-
    ferent points, said Cohen, who
    runs the largest pre-implanta-
    tion genetic diagnosis group
    in the United States, Reproge-
    netics, as well as the Galileo
    Research Laboratories, which
    researches embryonic develop-
    ment.
    Some countries have legisla-
    tion regulating embryo research
    that says life begins when an
    egg has been fertilized, he said.
    Some philosophers argue life
    begins with consciousness
    much later on.

    This is the rst time Ive
    seen a TV in a fridge, and all
    I can say is that Im at a loss
    for words. I cant believe it.

    My friends passed out at


    9 oclock, wait, and its only 9
    oclock. That takes some skill.

    My friend left this girl at


    a gas station in the middle
    of nowhere and just came
    back to the dorm without
    her. Should he go get her?

    If Julian Wright did our

    Texas referees are

    told me I dont need the
    straw. Ill tell him if I dont
    need the straw.

    Who would win in a ght:


    a grizzly bear or a lion?

    So you know what the


    only thing more boring than
    watching the K-State basket-
    ball team on TV is? Listening
    to the K-State basketball
    team on radio. I think Im
    gonna go fall asleep now.

    Why did they call Julian


    Wright The Raptor?

    Standing upright sucks.

    You know how theres


    dont mess with Texas?
    Theres also dont mess
    with Kansas, either. Hello!

    Did anyone else in the


    senior class receive an or-
    der form from the Univer-
    sity of North Carolina at

    Three KU Medical Center pro-
    fessors have signed a petition that
    called for skepticism of the theory
    of evolution.
    The signatures come from
    James Harbrecht, clinical assistant
    professor of cardiology; Gregory
    Ator, associate professor of head
    and neck surgery; and Jeanne
    Drisko, clinical assistant professor
    of alternative medicine. More than
    500 scientists have signed the peti-
    tion, which started on the Internet
    in 2001.
    While the signatures may seem
    a blow to supporters of evolution
    in the scientic community and
    another knock on Kansas already
    tarnished scientic reputation, it
    really is just healthy criticism.
    We applaud scientists who
    acknowledge the theory of evolu-
    tion isnt perfect. If scientists dont
    question the theory of evolution,
    or any theory, there is no way to
    gather evidence for or against it or
    to attempt to prove or disprove it.
    But more importantly, lets not
    twist this petition to include a
    victory for intelligent design sup-
    porters.
    The petition does not support
    or mention alternative theories to
    evolution. It simply states, We are
    skeptical of claims for the ability
    of random mutation and natural
    selection to account for the com-
    plexity of life. Careful examination
    of the evidence for Darwinian
    theory should be encouraged.
    Of course examination should
    be encouraged. Thats what
    scientists do. But intelligent design
    isnt science. There couldnt be a
    petition like this for that theory,
    because there is no evidence to be
    examined.
    Intelligent design isnt provable
    or unprovable. It cant be tested
    with experiments or evidence. In
    fact, intelligent design supporters
    in the scientic community only
    attack the theory of evolution.
    Michael Behe, professor of
    biochemistry at Lehigh University,
    testied on behalf of intelligent
    design at the trial of a Pennsylva-
    nia school board that tried to add
    a disclaimer on textbooks that said
    there were holes in the theory of
    evolution and mentions intelligent
    design as an alternative theory.
    He said intelligent design was
    testable. He testied at the trial:
    In Darwins Black Box (Behe
    1996) I claimed that the bacterial
    agellum was irreducibly complex
    and so required deliberate intel-
    ligent design. The ip side of this
    claim is that the agellum cant
    be produced by natural selection
    acting on random mutation, or
    any other unintelligent process.
    To falsify such a claim, a scien-
    tist could go into the laboratory,
    place a bacterial species lacking
    a agellum under some selective
    pressure (for mobility, say), grow it
    for ten thousand generations, and
    see if a agellum or any equally
    complex system was produced.
    If that happened, my claims would
    be neatly disproven.
    But if the process failed, only
    evolution would be disproved.
    There wouldnt be any evidence
    other than that Darwinism didnt
    explain it.
    Like the petition says, Care-
    ful examination of the evidence
    for Darwinian theory should be
    encouraged.
    No scientic theory should stay
    if it cant stand up to criticisms
    or questioning from the scientic
    community. The theory of evolu-
    tion is a long-established, univer-
    sally used theory for explaining
    life on this planet by science. But
    that doesnt mean scientists should
    just accept it how it is, that they
    shouldnt examine it.
    And it certainly doesnt mean
    we should go looking at untest-
    able, unprovable theories that
    couldnt stand up to the idea of
    this petition.

    Evolution is not a dirty
    word. It has been at the center
    of so much recent controversy,
    that it conjures up thoughts of
    political and religious debate
    much more frequently than it is
    associated with what it actually is
    a theory of a process embraced
    by scientists as a reliable and well
    supported explanation of the
    natural world.
    But because the apples and
    oranges of religion and science
    continue to go head-to-head in
    Kansas and elsewhere, evolu-
    tion is being stripped of its
    scientic denition and instead
    is treated as synonymous with
    godlessness. This misunder-
    standing just adds fuel to the re
    of controversy. This substitution
    couldnt be more wrong and more
    undeserved.
    The theory of evolution
    simply states that organisms
    change over time. More specic
    facets of evolutionary biology
    seek to explain the details of
    this process in various organ-
    isms, under various circum-
    stances, and over various time
    scales. Associated theories, like
    natural selection, offer explana-
    tions of the mechanisms that
    drive the process of evolution.
    Scientists dont dispute evolu-
    tion. We continue to explore
    its details and its mechanisms
    through the process of hypothesis
    testing, but the theory of evolu-
    tion itself has stood the test of
    time. We continue to nd obser-
    vational and experimental sup-
    port for it, while alternative ideas
    have not satisfactorily displaced
    it. Like other theories that once
    shook the world but are now
    taken for granted, evolution is on
    rm ground within the scientic
    community.
    So why is something so simple
    as the idea that life changes over
    time mistaken for the battle cry of
    heathens?
    Like other scientic theories,
    such as gravity and a heliocen-
    tric solar system, the theory
    of evolution was conceived to
    explain phenomena observed in
    nature. But when novel expla-
    nations based on observations
    and experiments challenge ideas
    based instead on long-held but
    scientically untestable musings,
    there is bound to be opposi-
    tion. People dont like being told
    theyre wrong, often to the point
    of being blindly defensive of their
    own beliefs.
    Unlike evolution, gravity and
    heliocentrism havent been mak-
    ing headlines and havent faced
    any recent opposition. Whats the
    difference? Its all in the timing.
    Evolutionary theory is newer
    to the world than the others.
    Despite its established standing
    among scientists, evolution is still
    working its way into everyday
    vernacular and a mainstream
    comfort zone.
    Other scientic theories that
    strayed from religious descrip-
    tions of the universe also faced
    social opposition, but eventu-
    ally became so well-established
    that we now accept them at face
    value. We would be hard-pressed
    to nd someone today who ar-
    gues that the earth is the center of
    the universe, but Kansas is loaded
    with people who take issue with
    evolution. This is mostly because
    this scientic description of a
    natural process is mistaken as a
    blatant challenge to faith. Once
    we recognize that evolution is a
    theory established in science and
    that dealing with it in a religious
    context is simply inappropriate,
    the controversy will die down and
    evolution will take its place as a
    conventional explanation of the
    way things work. I swear.

    I realize that I probably
    took the Olympics a little
    more seriously than most
    people. I have to believe its a
    freak genetic trait. I honestly
    kept track of how many hours
    of NBCs network broadcasts
    I watched during 17 days. But,
    being as this was the eighth
    Olympics Ive watched er,
    obsessed over I thought
    Id at least put those hundred
    hours to good use and share
    a few thoughts on sportsman-
    ship in modern society.
    For starters, just stop. Stop
    hyping athletes you never cared
    about before. Stop making jokes
    about the two-man luge. You
    cannot possibly come up with
    anything original. Stop the inane
    discussion of whether gure
    skating and curling are sports
    if poker and bass shing can
    get weeks of television airtime,
    then weve already expanded the
    threshold of athleticism. And
    please, for the love of Tonya Har-
    ding, stop taking it all so damn
    seriously.
    In the weeks leading up to the
    opening ceremony in Turin, Italy,
    I counted at least six magazine
    covers with Bode Millers mug.
    Some of them were already
    planned because of his status as
    the rst American overall World
    Cup champion in 20 years, while
    others were put together after his
    (as it turns out, anti-climactic)
    60 Minutes admission about
    being hung over at the start of a
    race. That made Miller Americas
    bad boy for the games, but he
    failed to medal in all ve events
    and was decisively branded
    a op by the same machine
    that put him on those covers.
    Remarkably, after all of the
    interviews and features, nobody
    in the media seemed to grasp or
    even listen to Bodes core mes-
    sage: Medals are simply one ob-
    jective standard for success, and
    success is whatever you make it
    to be. In other words, stop suck-
    ing the fun out of my sport.
    Im not nave enough to
    believe that the Olympics can
    solve the problems of the world,
    or that a society attuned more
    to salary caps and drug suspen-
    sions for its sports news can
    change overnight. Sports long
    ago turned into big business at
    every level and age group, and
    the ranks of amateurism could
    not hold out indenitely against
    those for whom prot matters
    more than joy, market share
    more than beauty, winning more
    than victory.
    But maybe two years from
    now we can lay off the righ-
    teous indignation and the
    ubiquitous medal count. Maybe
    we can let the snowboarders
    have their fun, the gure skat-
    ers have a cupcake, and the
    hockey players have more than
    a day off. Maybe, and Im just
    spit balling here, we can again
    let them be games.
    Scarrow is Humboldt senior in

    ID advocate misinforms masses
    In the comfort of his peers,
    retired professor of psychology
    Leonard Magruder paraded a
    series of news articles in front
    of a small crowd at the Signs of
    Life bookstore Thursday, making
    sarcastic jabs at any evolution-
    ists expense. He used terms like
    evolution thought-police and
    referred to any anti-intelligent de-
    sign article as bad and very sad
    news. His mantra was, There
    are huge gaps in evolution. I
    found gaps somewhere else, how-
    ever: in Magruders speech.
    Magruder continuously used
    information to his advantage,
    without providing the whole
    picture. For example, he gave
    out an entire list of names of sci-
    entists and Nobel Prize winners
    who had raised questions about
    evolution. He failed, however, to
    say that these people do not, in
    fact, support intelligent design.
    Apparently, Magruder does not
    understand the difference. Some
    of the scientists on Magruders
    list have even spoken out against
    it.
    In a 2000 conference debating
    evolution and design science,
    Nobel laureate Christian de
    Duve said the discoveries of
    molecular biology concur with
    Darwinism and that he believes
    life descended from one com-
    mon ancestor. Another scientist
    on the list, physicist Alan Guth,
    said at the same conference
    that there is no need to invoke
    supernatural forces to explain
    the universe or even its origin.
    There are other instances of
    people on Magruders list that
    completely discredit intelligent
    design. I dont understand why
    he would use them as examples.
    Another point of Magruders
    speech was that intelligent
    design was not the new cre-
    ation science. He maintained
    that creation scientists had an
    agenda, which was to defend the
    literal meaning of the Bible. But
    that is not what I.D. is about.
    Intelligent design is a theory
    raised from inside the scientic
    community, he said. Magruder
    claimed that intelligent design
    is totally free from any religious
    entanglements; it merely points
    out the gaps in evolution and
    allows students to make their
    own inferences about who the
    intelligent designer is.
    Come on. Obviously, there
    is only one real inference to be
    made, unless kids believe that
    Santa Claus created life.
    If you listen to Magruder, you
    would think the world is a con-
    spiracy against intelligent design.
    He said that Intelligent design
    supporters are scientists, but the
    media and KU dont want us to
    know that. He also maintains
    that KU refuses to talk about
    intelligent design because they
    say there is nothing to debate.
    I hate to tell you, Magruder,
    but we have discussed intelligent
    design in three of my classes.
    Apparently Magruder does not
    understand that no one wants to
    discuss intelligent design because
    its not worth the time and effort.
    All in all, Magruders speech
    shed an unforgiving light on
    intelligent design and its support-
    ers. His quotes were taken out
    of context; his inference method
    is a desperate masquerade; and
    his conspiracy theories seemed
    ridiculous. Thank you, Magrud-
    er, for reminding me why I think
    intelligent design is useless and
    ludicrous.

    Da Vinci Code lawsuit could delay film release
    By DaviD Stringer
    THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
    LONDON Its the latest
    twist for the mega-selling con-
    spiracy thriller The Da Vinci
    Code: a lawsuit against the
    books publisher for breach of
    copyright that could taint the
    novel and delay the much-an-
    ticipated movie version.
    Michael Baigent and Rich-
    ard Leigh, authors of the 1982
    nonfiction book The Holy
    Blood and the Holy Grail,
    are suing publisher Random
    House, Inc. over the allega-
    tion that parts of their work
    formed the basis of Dan
    Browns novel, which has sold
    more than 40 million copies
    worldwide and remains high
    on best seller lists nearly three
    years after publication.
    If the writers succeed in se-
    curing an injunction to bar the
    use of their material, they could
    hold up the scheduled May 19
    release of The Da Vinci Code
    flm, starring Tom Hanks and di-
    rected by Ron Howard.
    Sony Pictures said it planned
    to release the flm as scheduled.
    This lawsuit is not about the
    movie, and we are proceeding
    with our plans, said Jim Kelly,
    senior vice president of corpo-
    rate communications at Sony
    Pictures Entertainment.
    Both books hinge on the
    theory that Jesus married Mary
    Magdalene and they had a child,
    and that their blood line sur-
    vives to this day.
    Phrases used in both books
    to describe arguments that Jesus
    had been married showed simi-
    larities, James said.

    Thieves steal
    record amount
    By Jill lawleSS
    THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
    LONDON A new audit
    showed thieves stole the equiva-
    lent of about $92 million during
    last weeks heist at a southeast
    England cash depot, police said
    Monday, describing the second-
    largest cash theft in recent his-
    tory.
    The haul was second only to
    the looting of Iraqs central bank
    during the U.S.-led invasion.
    Still, it was the biggest cash theft
    in British history.
    Warehouse owner Securitas
    Cash Management Ltd. con-
    frmed the amount stolen 53
    million pounds after an audit,
    said Adrian Leppard, assistant
    chief constable of Kent Police.
    Leppard told reporters that
    four men had been arrested in
    south London and adjoining
    Kent county in the previous
    24 hours and were being ques-
    tioned in connection with the
    robbery.
    A ffth man was arrested and
    released on bail, as were six sus-
    pects detained earlier.
    Wednesdays robbery in Ton-
    bridge, 30 miles southeast of
    London, eclipsed the $50 million
    or about 26 million pounds
    stolen from the Northern Bank
    in Belfast, Northern Ireland,
    in December 2004. Authori-
    ties suspect an organized crime
    gang in the Tonbridge heist, and
    the outlawed Irish Republican
    Army in the Belfast robbery.
    Both raids were dwarfed by
    the wartime theft of $900 mil-
    lion in U.S. bills, and as much
    as $100 million worth of euros
    from the Iraq Central Bank in
    2003.
    Leppard said he was pleased
    with progress and ... confdent
    that we will catch those respon-
    sible.
    The police looking for the
    robbers have recovered a van
    containing weapons and the
    equivalent of $2.3 million in
    cash. The dumped money was
    found in black sacks Friday in a
    van parked outside a hotel near
    the entrance to the Channel Tun-
    nel linking England and France.
    The hotel is about 10 miles from
    the site of the robbery.
    The thieves, who dressed as
    police offcers, stopped Secu-
    ritas manager Colin Dixon, 51,
    as he drove home from the cash
    depot, police said.
    A second group also
    dressed as offcers went to
    Dixons home, told his wife,
    Lynn, 45, that he had been in
    an accident and took her away
    along with their 9-year-old son.
    Family members were threat-
    ened by the thieves but released
    unhurt once the raid was over,
    police said.
    The depot, a single-foored,
    windowless building, is near
    the center of Tonbridge. It is
    surrounded by 6-foot-high steel
    fencing, and security cameras
    cover every entrance. Steel traps
    are in place to prevent unwant-
    ed vehicles from entering the
    compound.

    Editors note: The Kansan
    will profle all three womens
    basketball seniors this week,
    leading up to Thursdays game
    against Kansas State.
    When the womens basketball
    team takes the court for senior
    night against Kansas State on
    Thursday, Erica Hallman and
    Crystal Kemp will both be yell-
    ing out instructions and encour-
    agement to their teammates. But
    Kaylee Brown wont be.
    She keeps to herself a little
    bit, Coach Bonnie Henrickson
    said.
    Take another look, though,
    and youll fnd that theres more
    to Kaylee Brown than meets the
    eye.
    The senior guard is listed at 5-
    foot-8 on a good day, Hen-
    rickson jokes but often must
    defend players who are fve or
    six inches taller than her.
    A lot of times she got the
    hardest defensive matchup on
    the perimeter, and the majority
    of the nights she handled it pret-
    ty well, Henrickson said.
    Overcoming that height gap
    is also important on the offen-
    sive end, because Browns job
    is to shoot and make three-
    pointers.
    My high school coach said
    I couldnt do it, that I wasnt a
    Division I player, she said.
    Brown has proven that coach
    wrong, and has made almost 40
    percent of her shots from behind
    the arc this season, resulting in
    her playing entire games.
    We all have minutes for a
    kid who can shoot the three and
    make the three, Henrickson
    said. What shes been able to
    do is fnd her niche here.

    The president of the Kansas club
    water polo team is not just one of the
    guys. In 2004, Diane Basore was nom-
    inated for the all-conference team.
    Her rsum is impressive espe-
    cially when you consider that Basore
    is excelling in the mens division.
    They think, shes just a girl, she
    cant play, Basore said. I like to
    take advantage of that view.
    The reason for the juniors out-
    standing play may have something
    to do with learning the sport in the
    water polo capital of the world
    Sydney, Australia. After being born
    in Ames, Iowa, and living in Albu-
    querque, N.M., for eight years, Baso-
    re and her family moved to Sydney.
    She then started playing water polo,
    and has now been playing for 11 years.
    When she decided to returned to the
    United States for college, Basore had
    to leave certain hobbies behind.
    I had to give up surfng while Im
    here, Basore said. Wescoe Beach
    wasnt enough. So, I picked up wa-
    ter polo to get my water fx.
    Basore said living thousands of miles
    from where she had called home for so
    many years had been diffcult.
    Its hard. You grow up really quick
    without anyone here, Basore said.
    Despite competing with the men, Ba-
    sore said she wasnt asking for anyone to
    feel sorry for her. She said she welcomed
    the challenge. Basore has also earned
    the respect of her teammates. Matt Roy-
    al, Des Moines, Iowa, senior, is Basores
    coach, teammate and roommate.
    Shes pretty fun. During practice we
    give each other a hard time, but we push
    each other pretty well, Royal said.
    Royal said that having Basore on
    the team was no different from any
    of his male teammates.
    Ive never worried about a player
    being a guy or a girl, just how well
    they play, Royal said.
    Basore said the water polo team
    acted as her social group. Just be-
    cause her teammates see her as equal
    doesnt mean they dont give her a
    hard time, Basore said.
    When someone is nominated for all-
    conference, the conference gives them a
    special-edition Speedo, so when I was
    nominated and got mine, my teammates
    joked around a lot about it.
    Basore also shared her advice for
    any females looking to excel in a pre-
    dominantly male sport.
    Dont let the guys push you around
    and dont give up, Basore said.

    When Brandon Rush touched
    the ball against Texas on Satur-
    day, he could tell something was
    different.
    It was not the same type of
    ball that he was used to play-
    ing with. It was a Nike ball, and
    Rush said it was lighter.
    Rush, freshman guard, strug-
    gled against Texas, scoring a
    career-low three points on just
    1-of-8 shooting.
    I wasnt aggressive. I was
    settling for jumpers and they
    werent falling. I was getting
    the shots I wanted, I was just
    having an off week I guess, he
    said.
    Rush also played with a Nike
    ball at Colorado and at Missouri
    and attributed his shooting
    struggles 10-of-24 in those
    two games to the type of bas-
    ketball he was fring toward the
    basket.
    In order to help solve this
    problem, Rush, Kansas lead-
    ing scorer, practiced with a Nike
    basketball Sunday.
    Rush, like his teammates, is
    looking to rebound from a 25-
    point loss to Texas with a solid
    performance Wednesday against
    Colorado.
    Were at home. It will be a
    different atmosphere, a different
    ball, he said. We had a little
    time off yesterday to regroup
    and shoot around.
    The mood has been differ-
    ent for the Kansas team thus
    far this week following the big
    loss.
    Just from being in the lock-
    er room for a little today, I
    would say guys know we have
    to get better, senior guard Jeff
    Hawkins said.

    Senior guard Kaylee Brown looks to pass the ball by Missouris LaToya Bond
    Saturday afternoon at Allen Fieldhouse.
    AUSTIN, Texas I love liv-
    ing in Kansas and listening to
    Kansas basketball fans after
    games. You could imagine the
    interesting comments I heard
    after the game of year turned
    into the beating of the year after
    a 25-point Texas victory against
    Kansas.
    I heard KU fans who said the
    Jayhawks were exposed and the
    Longhorns were on their way to
    a national championship in bas-
    ketball.
    For Texas fans, basketball is
    viewed in Austin, Texas, as enter-
    tainment before spring football
    begins. Saturdays game wasnt
    sold out until last Wednesday.
    Its a bit different in Law-
    rence. This was the second time
    KU fans pressed the panic but-
    ton. The frst time was in De-
    cember when the team started
    the season 3-4.
    But we must all remem-
    ber that this team is still com-
    prised of mostly freshmen and
    sophomores 10 to be exact.
    The youth is as talented as any
    young team in the country. The
    10-game winning streak Kansas
    carried into Texas is proof of
    that.
    Fans need to be reminded that
    Saturdays game wasnt the main
    objective of the season. Rather,
    it was a litmus test to the atmo-
    sphere of playing in the College
    GameDay spotlight. Now they
    know what its like.
    You have to realize that a
    blowout like Saturdays game
    occasionally happens to young
    teams.
    In coming to terms with this,
    we also learned about two spe-
    cifc KU freshmen on this youth-
    ful team.
    I think we can all be sure that
    freshman guard Brandon Rush
    will not jump to the NBA af-
    ter this year, based on his three
    points and four rebounds in the
    national spotlight. This might be
    the best thing to happen to him
    and a young Kansas team that
    will build for the future with
    this foundation of freshmen and
    sophomores.
    Expect Rush to stay at least
    one more year, unless he scores
    81 points in an NCAA Tourna-
    ment game. I have no doubt that
    Rush will see better days and
    fully expect him to have his day
    in the sun sooner rather than
    later.
    We also learned that freshman
    forward Julian Wright could be-
    come one of the most dynamic
    players to ever put on a Kansas
    uniform.

    3 Kansas sports
    post poor grades
    Athletes at the University of Kansas are meet-
    ing the NCAAs academic progress requirements
    in all but three sports, school offcials said Mon-
    day and the school is appealing its possible loss
    of scholarships in two of them.
    The NCAA is scheduled to release the Academ-
    ic Progress Rate numbers for all but eight mem-
    ber schools on Wednesday. Kansas is one of those
    eight because its waiver request is still being
    processed but elected to release its numbers to
    selected media representatives on Monday.
    Football, baseball and womens basketball all
    failed to meet the minimums for athletes reten-
    tion and eligibility, but womens basketball is not
    in danger of losing scholarships because it falls
    under an exemption for sports with few team
    members.
    APR, which the NCAA is phasing in over four
    years, tracks retention and eligibility rather than
    graduation rates. Each player is worth four points
    per academic year: one point per semester for be-
    ing on scholarship and one more per semester for
    being academically eligible. The minimum passing
    grade is 925, meaning that a program has accu-
    mulated 92.5 percent of its possible points for the
    two-year evaluation period.
    NCAA statisticians have calculated that a 92.5
    percent progress rate is a predictor of a 50 percent
    graduation rate down the line, said Paul Buskirk,
    the Universitys associate athletic director for stu-
    dent support services.
    Teams not meeting the requirements would lose
    scholarships received by any ineligible athlete but
    could not lose more than 10 percent of scholar-
    ships for a given year. The low percentage in
    womens basketball can be attributed to a coach-
    ing change before last season, the University said.
    The University plans to argue that there were un-

    Kansas had a perfect record
    last week in the Music City
    Challenge in Nashville, Tenn.
    Kansas has won four games in
    a row, dating back to the Feb.
    19 victory against Vanderbilt.
    Heres a look at the rest of the
    Big 12 Conference, which was
    26-8 in games from Feb. 20 to
    Feb. 26.
    No. 4 Nebraska
    Although
    Ne b r a s ka
    notched two
    victories in
    the Rice In-
    vi t at i onal ,
    it did not
    win against
    then No. 4 Rice, the only team it
    faced with a winning record.
    The Nebraska bats came
    to life in the fnal game of the
    weekend as the Huskers record-
    ed season-highs in runs and hits
    with 12 and 18, respectively.
    No. 11 Texas
    T e x a s
    started the
    week with
    a 13-9 loss
    a g a i n s t
    St anf ord,
    h a n d i n g
    the Car-
    dinals the series victory. Texas
    wouldnt lose again the rest of
    the week, though.
    Texas returned to Austin to
    beat Texas State on Wednesday,
    7-4, and swept Villanova in a
    weekend series.
    Freshman infelder Bradley
    Suttle went 6-of-11 with six
    RBIs against Villanova. Texas
    outscored Villanova 21-3 in
    three games.
    No. 23 Baylor
    On Tues-
    day, Baylor
    d e f e a t e d
    Texas- San
    Antonio 5-
    0 in a game
    that ended
    after the
    ffth inning because of fog. The
    Bears then came home to play
    then No. 30 Arizona State for
    three games. Baylor lost two of
    three games to the Sun Devils.
    Baylor was outhit 28-8 in the
    doubleheader on Friday.
    In the lone Bears victory, ju-
    nior catcher Matt Sodolak hit a
    three-run double in the seventh
    inning to put them ahead for
    good.
    No. 25 Oklahoma
    Oklahomas lack of offense
    against Memphis in the frst
    game of the Service Academies
    C l a s s i c
    squandered
    a command-
    ing perfor-
    mance by se-
    nior pitcher
    Daniel Mc-
    Cu t c h e n .
    McCutchen struck out 10 bat-
    ters and didnt allow a walk. But
    with two outs in the bottom of
    the ninth inning with the game
    tied at one, Memphis junior frst
    baseman Adam Amar hit a walk-
    off single, handing McCutchen
    and Oklahoma the loss.
    Oklahoma bounced back with
    consecutive victories against In-
    diana State and Notre Dame.
    No. 29 Texas A&M
    After a
    14-3 victory
    over Tex-
    as- Ar l i ng-
    ton where
    sophomore
    p i t c h e r
    C h a n c e
    Corgan struck out eight batters
    in only fve innings, Texas A&M
    came home to play host to the
    Dominos Pizza Aggie Baseball
    Classic.
    With a fourth game left to be
    played on Monday, the Texas
    A&M went 2-1 in the frst three
    games of the Classic with a 5-1
    victory against UNC Greens-
    boro on Friday, a 6-1 victory
    over Utah on Saturday and a
    3-2 loss against Missouri State
    on Sunday. The loss was the Ag-
    gies frst of the season.
    Missouri
    J u n i o r
    pitcher Max
    Scherzer led
    Missouri to
    a 14-5 vic-
    tory against
    then No. 1
    Florida in
    the frst game of the Pepsi Base-
    ball Classic.
    Scherzer struck out eight Ga-
    tors in seven innings, allowing
    just one earned run. This would
    be the highlight of Missouris
    weekend, as it lost to Wake For-
    est and Ohio State.
    Kansas State
    K a n s a s
    State trav-
    eled to Lou-
    isiana last
    weekend to
    take part in
    the Louisi-
    ana-Lafay-
    ette Mardi Gras Ball Baseball
    Classic and returned with victo-
    ries against Louisiana-Monroe
    and Purdue.
    Senior outfelder Joe Roundy
    and junior infelder Jared Goed-
    ert went 11-of-16 and combined
    for nine runs and eight RBI in
    the two games. Kansas States
    Saturday game against Louisi-
    ana-Lafayette was rained out.
    Oklahoma State
    O k l a -
    homa State
    swept West-
    ern Illinois
    in three
    games after
    not having
    played a
    game since Feb. 12.
    Junior short stop Shelby Ford
    led the Cowboys, which out-
    scored the Leathernecks 36-9
    in the series. Ford went 6-of-12
    in the series, scoring four runs,
    driving in fve runs and draw-
    ing four walks. In the frst game,
    Ford was a double shy of hitting
    for the cycle.
    Texas Tech
    T e x a s
    Tech put
    up impres-
    sive num-
    bers across
    the board
    last week,
    outscoring
    opponents 51-16 in four victo-
    ries.
    In a 16-0 victory against
    Eastern New Mexico, senior
    pitcher Dustin Richardson
    struck out 10 batters in six in-
    nings of work.
    Texas Tech also defeated
    Dallas Baptist 13-5. None of
    Texas Techs opponents in the
    Classic, also including Texas-
    Arlington and Oral Roberts,
    had an answer for sophomore
    catcher Matt Smith when he
    came to the plate. In three
    games, Smith went 6-of-7
    with three runs, eight RBI,
    six walks, three doubles and
    a home run.

    Kansas outfelder out
    indefnitely with injury
    Senior outfelder Matt Baty
    will not play in this weekends
    home opener against Western
    Illinois. Just when Baty will
    return is unknown.
    Baty, one of
    three captains
    on the team,
    and junior
    outfelder
    Kyle Murphy
    collided while
    diving for a
    fy ball Satur-
    day against
    Lipscomb.
    Both left the game immedi-
    ately thereafter. Murphy came
    in to play the ninth inning of
    Kansas last game on Sunday,
    but Baty did not reappear.
    The team didnt comment
    on the injury, but Kansas
    coach Ritch Price released a
    statement Monday concern-
    ing the four-year starters
    status.
    Its a crucial loss to our
    team, Price said. Were
    all hoping and praying that
    he is going to return to the
    lineup in the next few weeks.
    As soon as he is healthy and
    cleared, hell be back in the
    starting lineup.
    After aggravating an old
    knee injury, Baty was side-
    lined for the last three innings
    against No. 10 Stanford
    on Feb. 12. It is not known
    whether this injury is related.
    Baty had since worked
    his way back into the lineup,
    playing in left feld instead of
    center feld, where he typi-
    cally plays.
    Hes a bulldog, senior
    outfelder Gus Milner said of
    Baty earlier this year. Milner
    saw time in center after Baty
    and Murphy came out. After
    the Stanford series, Baty said
    he was confdent of his ability
    to bounce back from injury.
    He has rarely spent long
    stints on the bench. At the
    teams 14-game mark this
    season, Baty has started 13
    and is hitting .300 with four
    doubles and a triple.
    Matt is the heart and soul
    of our team, Price said.

    Barton coach to testify
    against his colleagues

    Sentencing for former Barton
    County Community College
    basketball coach Ryan Wolf has
    been postponed until May 1 to
    give him time to testify against
    his colleagues in a widespread
    investigation into fnancial aid for
    athletes.
    Wolfs indictment in December
    2004 was the frst in a scandal
    that has resulted in charges
    against seven coaches and the
    athletic director and led to the
    fring of its president at the belea-
    guered central Kansas college.
    Coaches are accused of get-
    ting athletes grants they were not
    qualifed to receive and campus
    jobs that paid them for work
    they did not perform; of helping
    athletes with correspondence
    courses and tests; and of sending
    false academic credentials to
    other schools on the athletes
    behalf.
    Wolf and two fellow coaches
    pleaded guilty in federal court in
    exchange for reduced charges
    and their cooperation with
    prosecutors. Former assistant
    basketball coach Matt Skillman
    and former head coach David
    Campbell both received proba-
    tion at their sentencing hearings.
    In December, Wolf pleaded guilty
    to four counts.

    The Kansas womens basket-
    ball team may have been math-
    ematically eliminated from con-
    tention for the NCAA Womens
    Basketball Tournament, but
    that doesnt mean there wont
    be a postseason for the team.
    The Womens National Invi-
    tational Tournament, or WNIT,
    invites the 40 best teams that
    dont make the NCAA tourna-
    ment.
    They are defnitely get-
    ting strong consideration right
    now, said Renee Carlson, as-
    sistant director of the WNIT.
    The Jayhawks record of 16-10
    is good enough for postseason
    consideration, but a 5-10 con-
    ference record is keeping them
    out of the NCAA tournament.
    The mens NIT is owned by
    the NCAA, but that is not the
    case with the WNIT. It is cur-
    rently run by Triple Crown
    Sports, a company based out of
    Fort Collins, Colo. The NCAA
    governs the tournament, but
    does not control the day-to-day
    operations or have any input
    into which teams are selected.
    Another difference is that
    every game in the WNIT is
    played with a home-court ad-
    vantage. Logistical issues play
    into that selection. The tour-
    nament must consider which
    teams have arenas available
    during tournament dates, as
    well as the travel expenses in
    getting there.
    We look at who would be a
    good host site as far as further-
    ing the excitement of womens
    basketball, Carlson said.
    While Carlson said she
    hadnt seen enough numbers to
    comment defnitively, the Jay-
    hawks appear to have a strong
    case to host the tournament at
    Allen Fieldhouse.
    The Jayhawks have aver-
    aged almost 3,000 fans a game
    this season, and that number
    spiked to more than 5,000 for
    big games against Texas and
    Missouri.
    Both numbers are well above
    the national average of 1,500
    per game, a number that was
    calculated by the NCAA during
    the 2003-2004 season.
    The Big 12 conference as
    a whole has led the country
    in attendance for the past six
    years.
    If the Jayhawks were to host
    a frst-round WNIT game at
    Allen Fieldhouse, the earliest
    possible game date would be
    March 16, although the team
    could schedule the game later
    than that if they wished.
    The WNIT will announce
    its feld in the hours after the
    NCAA chooses the 65 teams it
    wants, which will announced
    at 6 p.m. on Monday, March
    13.

    Team has chance

    By Doug Tucker
    tHe assOCiateD Press
    KANSAS CITY, Mo. Men
    and women dabbed at their
    eyes. People hugged quietly
    and ducked into little private
    spaces to speak in hushed
    tones.
    The news hit the Negro
    Leagues Baseball Museum
    like a bomb. What was sup-
    posed to be a grand celebra-
    tion of the life of one of this
    towns most beloved citizens
    now had the feel of a funer-
    al.
    Seventeen people from the
    Negro Leagues and pre-Negro
    Leagues eras were voted into
    the National Baseball Hall of
    Fame, but not Buck ONeil.
    Not Buck? Almost every-
    one in Kansas City thought
    the immensely popular 94-
    year-old would be a shoo-in
    when a 12-person committee
    considered a list of 39 candi-
    dates.
    Sure, his statistics during
    a long career as a player and
    player/manager were not the
    greatest.
    But he did win two Negro
    League batting titles. He did
    have a successful career as a
    player/manager with the Kan-
    sas City Monarchs and he did
    become the first black coach
    in the major leagues.
    Most importantly, everyone
    thought, were the contribu-
    tions hes made traveling the
    country keeping the legacy of
    black baseball alive.
    He has been the face, voice
    and inspiration behind Kan-
    sas Citys Negro Leagues Mu-
    seum. In the opinion of many,
    those 17 who got in ahead
    of him may never have even
    been considered at all if not
    for ONeils tireless efforts to
    tell their story at a time when
    the country was ready to for-
    get all about them.
    A couple of hundred of
    ONeils friends and support-
    ers gathered at the museum
    early Monday afternoon to be
    part of a happy celebration.
    They could hardly believe the
    bad news.
    Finally, it was left to ONeil
    to do what he does best and
    lift everyone spirits.
    Gods been good to me,
    he said. You can see that,
    cant you? It didnt happen.
    They didnt think Buck was
    good enough to be in the Hall
    of Fame. Thats the way they
    thought about it and thats
    the way it is, so were going
    to live with that. Now, if Im
    a hall-of-famer for you, thats
    all right with me. Just keep
    loving old Buck.
    Dont shed any tears
    cause Im not going to the
    Hall of Fame.
    Everyone broke into ap-
    plause.
    You think about this, he
    said. Here I am, the grand-
    son of a slave. And here the
    whole world was excited
    about whether I was going
    into the Hall of Fame or not.
    Weve come a long ways. Be-
    fore, we never even thought
    about anything like that.
    America, youve really grown
    and youre still growing.
    A Florida native, ONeil
    has made Kansas City his
    home since moving out of the
    Deep South to escape racial
    persecution.

    TAMPA, Fla. Effa Man-
    ley became the frst woman
    elected to the baseball Hall of
    Fame when the former Newark
    Eagles co-owner was among 17
    people from the Negro Leagues
    and pre-Negro Leagues chosen
    Monday by a special commit-
    tee.
    This is a historic day at the
    Hall of Fame, shrine president
    Dale Petroskey said. I hoped
    that someday there would be a
    woman in the Hall. Its a pretty
    proud moment.
    This years Hall class 18,
    including former reliever Bruce
    Sutter is by far the biggest in
    history, breaking the record of
    11 in 1946. There are now 278
    Hall members.
    Mule Suttles and Biz Mack-
    ey were among the 12 players
    selected, along with fve execu-
    tives.
    Buck ONeil and Minnie
    Minoso, the only living mem-
    bers among the 39 candidates
    on the ballot, were not elected
    by the 12-person panel.
    Manley co-owned the New
    Jersey-based Eagles with her
    husband, Abe, and ran the
    business end of the team for
    more than a decade. The Eagles
    won the Negro Leagues World
    Series in 1946 one year be-
    fore Jackie Robinson broke the
    major league color barrier.
    She was very knowledge-
    able, a very handsome wom-
    an, said Hall of Famer Monte
    Irvin, who played for the Eagles
    while the Manleys owned the
    team, as did Don Newcombe
    and Larry Doby.
    She did a lot for the New-
    ark community. She was just a
    well-rounded infuential per-
    son, Irvin said. She tried to
    organize the owners to build
    their own parks and have a
    balanced schedule and to real-
    ly improve the lot of the Negro
    League players.
    Manley was white, but mar-
    ried a black man and passed
    as a black woman, said Larry
    Lester, a baseball author and
    member of the voting commit-
    tee.
    She campaigned to get as
    much money as possible for
    these ballplayers, and right-
    fully so, Lester said.
    Manley used baseball to ad-
    vance civil rights causes with
    events such as an Anti-Lynch-
    ing Day at the ballpark. She
    died in 1981 at age 84.
    She was a pioneer in so
    many ways, in terms of inte-
    grating the team with the com-
    munity, said Leslie Heaphy,
    a Kent State professor on the
    committee. Shes also one of
    the owners who pushed very
    hard to get recognition for Ma-
    jor League Baseball when they
    started to sign some of their
    players.

    The AssociATed Press
    WICHITA Sentencing for
    former Barton County Commu-
    nity College basketball coach
    Ryan Wolf has been postponed
    until May 1 to give him time to
    testify against his colleagues in
    a widespread investigation into
    fnancial aid for athletes.
    Wolfs indictment in Decem-
    ber 2004 was the frst in a scan-
    dal that has resulted in charges
    against seven coaches and the
    athletic director and led to the
    fring of its president at the belea-
    guered central Kansas college.
    Coaches have been accused of
    getting athletes grants they were
    not qualifed to receive and cam-
    pus jobs that paid them for work
    they did not perform; of helping
    athletes with correspondence
    courses and tests; and of send-
    ing false academic credentials
    to other schools on the athletes
    behalf.
    Wolf and two fellow coaches
    pleaded guilty in federal court
    in exchange for reduced charges
    and their cooperation with pros-
    ecutors in the investigation.

    Community college coach case postponed
    Keeping Heisman company
    Chavez
    continued from page 1B
    There are few young players
    in the nation with as much raw
    talent and energy as Wright.
    If not for Wright, Kansas
    might have lost by a margin that
    could only have been replicated
    by Texas quarterback Vince
    Young and his National Cham-
    pionship football team. Wright
    was Kansas only productive
    scorer on Saturday. He scored
    18 points on a night in which
    only one other Jayhawk scored
    in double fgures.
    So I could honestly care
    less what happens when Texas
    comes to Lawrence next year for
    the basketball game. I care about
    what we learned from Saturdays
    game. We found out how the
    Jayhawks stood against a very
    talented Texas team on the road.
    Thats all that should matter at
    this point in the season.
    n Chavez is a San Antonio
    senior in journalism.
    Loss
    continued from page 1B
    It brought us back down.
    Winning 10 in a row, everybody
    was high on themselves. I think
    the loss brought everyone back
    to reality.
    With the loss to Texas, Kansas
    fell one game out of frst place.
    Coach Bill Self and the players
    said they understood that they
    must win out and hope that Tex-
    as stumbles in order to take the
    conference crown.
    We had an opportunity to
    put ourselves in a lot better po-
    sition on Saturday and didnt
    make the most of it, obviously,
    Self said. All we can worry
    about is beating Colorado. Win-
    ning the league will always be a
    goal of ours until we cant win it
    anymore.
    Texas has Oklahoma and Tex-
    as A&M remaining on its sched-
    ule while Kansas has Colorado
    and Kansas State.
    The loss to Texas likely also
    affected Kansas NCAA tour-
    nament seed. Self admitted
    that the team has no chance of
    getting a No. 1 or a No. 2 seed
    when the bracket is released in
    two weeks.
    He said he wouldnt talk with
    the players about what seed they
    could be looking at.
    I think thats pretty prema-
    ture, Self said. If our whole fo-
    cus right now is beating Colora-
    do and trying to win the league,
    I dont think you bring stuff like
    that into it just yet.
    Basketball notes: Julian
    Wright was named Big 12
    Rookie of the Week for his ef-
    forts against Baylor and Texas.
    The freshman forward averaged
    18.5 points in those two games.
    Wright was the third Kansas
    freshman to earn the honor
    this season. Rush and freshman
    guard Mario Chalmers were the
    others.
    Kansas loss to Texas dropped
    them from 16th to 18th in the
    Associated Press poll that was
    released Monday. The Jayhawks
    also fell from 20th to 22nd in
    the ESPN/USA Today coaches
    poll.

    As she found her niche, she
    also raised her expectations. Her
    goal for this year was to make
    the postseason and she has been
    playing with the passion it will
    take to achieve it.
    I want to make the tourna-
    ment this year, and I still think
    we have a chance, Brown said.
    For Brown, preparation for
    the tournament means spending
    time in the weight room building
    up her stamina, time on the court
    practicing her shot and time off
    the court with the other players.
    After spending a year at
    Northern Oklahoma-Enid Com-
    munity College in her home state
    of Oklahoma, Brown completed
    the current senior class by join-
    ing guard Hallman and forward
    Kemp.
    The three have been together
    for the ups and downs of a new
    coach, a 12-game winning streak
    to start the season, and then a
    downturn that resulted in the
    players being kicked out of the
    locker room by Henrickson.
    The Jayhawks have rebound-
    ed since then and appear to be
    headed to the Womens Nation-
    al Invitational Tournament at
    the end of the season.
    Brown said that although she
    was excited about leaving the
    legacy of being the frst Kansas
    team to make the postseason
    under Henrickson, she wouldnt
    mind being around in a few years
    for the future successes.
    We want to be a part of the
    team that gets to make it to the
    NCAA, she said.
    Thats about the most that she
    will say about the tournament,
    leaving most of the talking to
    her teammates.
    Browns soft-spokenness
    caught one of her roommates,
    Allie Rubino, off-guard.
    While Brown was talking to
    a reporter, Rubino told Brown
    that she was not very talkative
    in interviews.
    That didnt seem to bother
    Brown, who will talk about her
    dog Vinnie crazy and cute
    her relationship with the seniors
    us three have a weird kind of
    bond, its funny and her desire
    to leave the Midwest someday
    Im a beach person.
    Hallman and Kemp both
    credit her as a huge part of the
    teams success, and Henrickson
    said that the younger players
    are inspired by her work in the
    weight room and off the court.
    Even without her vocal in-
    fuence, Kaylee Brown has still
    found a way to put her stamp on
    this team.

    T
    here are few young
    players in the nation
    with as much raw talent
    and energy as Wright.
    Greg Griesenaver/KANSAN
    ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH
    Try a conservative approach. At the same
    time, allow others to have greater say. You
    dont have much choice anyway, so instead
    of bucking the trend, work with them. Com-
    municate your concerns in a meaningful way.
    Tonight: Get some extra sleep. You
    are going to need it.
    TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH
    Others help point the way to immediate
    success. Sometimes you might not be too
    sure of what you want, but not today. Use
    your sense of direction, luck and innate skill
    set. Success naturally follows in your path.
    Tonight: Hang with friends.
    GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH
    Others call on you. Taking the lead, though
    not always your favorite activity, will seem
    natural here. Others compliment you on a job
    well done. Interestingly, the end result will
    be that you see someone very differently.
    Tonight: Out late again.
    CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH
    Step back and force yourself to see all the
    different issues surrounding a problem.
    You might be surprised by what you realize.
    Others respond better to a more empathetic
    approach.
    Tonight: Walk to a new beat.
    LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH
    Allow others to have their way. You will start
    to draw the type of results you want only
    if you relax. Sometimes you cannot run all
    aspects of the show. Let others act on your
    behalf. You will like what happens.
    Tonight: Say yes to an associate.
    VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH
    You will see your alternatives more clearly
    if you work with the basics. Sometimes you
    might misread others, perhaps because of
    wishful thinking! Patience and good com-
    munication will make you a favorite.
    Tonight: Go along with anothers request.

    LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH
    You might get entrenched in a problem and
    not be able to fgure out a solution. Much
    goes on because of your kindness and
    expressing yourself. You are easily misun-
    derstood. Spell out your thoughts.
    Tonight: Easy does it.

    SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH
    You delight in creative and intense mo-
    ments. Others fnally understand your
    intentions. Your feelings warm up, as do
    another persons. He or she has much to
    smile about. Loosen up and think positively.
    Expenses could go overboard.
    Tonight: Laugh and relax.

    SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
    HHHH
    You need to think through a decision rather
    than create an uproar. If you stay calm and
    directed, somehow you will be able to sort
    through your priorities. Investigate rather
    than judge. Stay mum if you are unsure of
    yourself.
    Tonight: At home.

    CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH
    State your case with the feelings and
    direction necessary. Others respond with
    sensitivity and caring. Choose your words
    with gentleness. Honey works better than
    vinegar. You can prove that fact today.
    Tonight: Say little.

    AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH
    You might want to rethink a fnancial
    decision. Could you be a bit extravagant
    right now? Be careful not to make quick
    judgments, as you could easily be wrong.
    Be careful with new people just the same.
    Facts and experience count.
    Tonight: Treat yourself to a relaxing
    few moments.

    PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH
    Recognize what is important before you
    act. Spontaneity could backfre on you.
    You laugh, and another person loosens up.
    Light and jovial work well -- if you eliminate
    spontaneity. Let go of tension and serious
    factors, OK?
    Tonight: As you wish.

    6B THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 2006 SPORTS
    BY ALAN ESKEW
    THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
    SURPRISE, Ariz. Kan-
    sas City had hoped to build
    future pitching staffs around
    22-year-old Zack Greinke,
    but now its not likely hell
    even be in the Royals start-
    ing rotation when the season
    starts April 3.
    Greinke left camp Sunday,
    with the clubs permission, to
    return to his home in Orlan-
    do, Fla. No one knows when
    he will return.
    Were going about it, quite
    frankly, that Zack is not go-
    ing to be here in time to get
    ready for the rotation, Roy-
    als manager Buddy Bell said
    after Mondays practice. We
    pretty much are preparing
    for the worst right now. That
    could change. I dont think it
    will.
    Bell said Greinkes chances
    of making the starting rota-
    tion depended on how long he
    stayed out of training camp.
    It affects it a lot, depend-
    ing when he can come back,
    Bell said. If he would come
    back tomorrow, which isnt
    going to be the case, theres
    no issue.
    General Manager Allard
    Baird said there is no timeta-
    ble for the return of Greinke,
    who led the American League
    with 17 losses last season.
    Bell said that for Greinke
    to be ready for a possible start
    on April 14 the first time
    the Royals will need a fifth
    starter he would need to
    get back to Surprise in time
    to get in shape and show he
    can get people out.
    Starting pitchers normally
    build up to around 90 pitches
    in March to prepare for the
    season.
    Quite honestly, I think
    that is a long shot, Bell
    said.
    Bell said he had not spo-
    ken to Greinke since he went
    to Florida, but planned to
    call him later Monday to
    keep in touch with him and
    see how hes doing.
    Baird said there could still
    be time for Greinke to earn a
    place in the rotation.
    If he left March 15, that
    would be a different sto-
    ry, Baird said. We havent
    played a game yet. No pitch-
    er has pitched a pitch yet in a
    game, so to me that does not
    factor in. The most important
    thing for us right now, really,
    is for him to take care of the
    personal matter. Everything
    else is secondary.
    Baird said Greinkes rea-
    son for leaving is completely
    personal.

    JUPITER, Fla. Ricardo
    Rincon finally made it to the
    St. Louis Cardinals spring
    training camp Monday, and
    immediately began throwing
    live batting practice.
    The 35-year-old left-handed
    reliever, signed to a two-year,
    $2.9 million free-agent con-
    tract in December, had been
    a no-show, fighting visa prob-
    lems in his native Mexico.
    Rincon wasted little time in
    meeting with manager Tony
    La Russa to smooth any hard
    feelings.
    I talked to Tony and hes
    happy now, Rincon said.
    La Russa said Rincon had
    been working out in Mexico,
    so he decided to have him
    throw live batting practice.
    He threw to a group that in-
    cluded Albert Pujols, Scott
    Rolen, David Eckstein, Junior
    Spivey, Chris Duncan and
    Rick Ankiel.
    He has been working, but
    theres a difference between
    throwing to friends at home
    and our guys in camp, La
    Russa said.
    The workouts on Monday
    were the last before the Car-
    dinals begin exhibition play
    against Florida Atlantic to-
    day. The first game against a
    major league team is Thursday
    against the New York Mets in
    Jupiter.
    Rolen, coming back from
    a shoulder injury that forced
    him to miss most of last sea-
    son, continued to show good
    progress and could play by
    this weekend, La Russa said.
    I think hes doing every-
    thing at the plate ahead of
    what we expected, La Russa
    said. I havent really talked
    to him about this weekend,
    but my guess is hell probably
    play.
    The practice was conclud-
    ed with an intrasquad scrim-
    mage in which two teams
    of 10 players received two
    at-bats in a simulated game
    format against pitching in-
    structor Mark Riggins. Skip
    Schumaker, Duncan and
    Ankiel all hit home runs in
    an 8-8 tie.
    La Russa said Ankiel will
    start in center field against
    Florida Atlantic.

    THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
    Now that the winter Olym-
    pians have stolen away from
    Italy with their skis, skates and
    polished granite curling stones,
    the eyes of the sports world turn
    with rising excitement to the
    2008 summer games in Beijing.
    The excitement has been
    stirred by an irony of history. It
    follows the Athens games, site
    of both the ancient and mod-
    ern Olympics, and comes for
    the frst time to a vast and fast-
    growing Asian nation which got
    seriously involved in Olympic
    sports less than 25 years ago.
    After the less than thrilling
    winter Olympics staged in a
    country familiar to millions of
    Americans, the Beijing games
    promise all the elements of an
    international thriller: mystery,
    money, controversy and pag-
    eantry. It will offer to the West
    a glimpse, through press and
    television, into a little-known
    country whose old civilization
    is colored by two very different
    philosophers, Confucius and
    Karl Marx.
    Although it is regarded as one
    of the cradles of human civili-
    zation, its interest in organized
    sports during its Confucian era,
    which lasted until 1949, was
    minimal. Sports were the indi-
    vidual diversions of a highly-
    born few.
    During the 1980s and 1990s,
    when Deng shook up China,
    mass sports had their golden
    age. The womens volleyball
    team made the breakthrough in
    1981: It defeated Japan for the
    frst time to win a world champi-
    onship, then after grabbing fve
    consecutive world titles won an
    Olympic gold.
    Before that, during the na-
    tionalist republican era, China
    competed in three Olympic
    games but never won a medal.
    Since Dengs day, it has won
    hundreds. In the 2004 Athens
    Olympics it took 23 golds, only
    three behind the leader, the
    United States.

    THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
    Its back to a familiar pair at
    the top of The Associated Press
    college basketball poll.
    Duke was No. 1 for the sec-
    ond straight week Monday, and
    Connecticut moved up one spot
    to No. 2. The teams held those
    two spots for eight of the pre-
    vious 11 polls, each on top for
    four weeks.
    Memphis (26-2) extended its
    winning streak to 15 games with
    victories over Texas-El Paso and
    Tulsa last week and moved up
    one spot to No. 3, matching its
    highest ranking this season. The
    Tigers received the other frst-
    place vote.
    Villanova (22-3) dropped
    from second to fourth after beat-
    ing Cincinnati 74-72 and losing
    at Connecticut.
    Gonzaga held ffth place in
    the next-to-last poll of the sea-
    son, while Texas and George
    Washington switched spots at
    sixth and seventh.
    Pittsburgh moved up one
    place to No. 8, while Ohio State
    and Illinois were ninth and
    10th.
    Tennessee was 11th followed
    by Boston College, North Caro-
    lina, Washington, UCLA, West
    Virginia, Florida, Kansas, Okla-
    homa and Georgetown.
    The last fve ranked teams
    were LSU, North Carolina
    State, Iowa, Nevada and Michi-
    gan State.
    Pittsburgh was at West Vir-
    ginia on Monday night in the
    frst of four double-ranked
    games this week. On Saturday,
    North Carolina is at Duke and
    Illinois visits Michigan State.
    Oklahoma is at Texas on Sun-
    day.
