Demolition of the traffc control booth in
front of the Kansas Union at 13th Street and
Or e a d Avenue begins today to make way for
a new gateway for the Univer-
sity.
Greg Wade, a landscape
architect for the University,
said construction on the
Docking Family Gateway at
the intersection wouldnt
start until the end of
the week and should
be completed by the time
classes resume next fall.
The gateway
will be an island
in the street with a raised fountain area and a
column, approximately 16 or 17 feet tall, that
will have University of Kansas on it. It will be
lighted at night.
The plan is that the materials in the gateway
will blend with the buildings in the surround-
ing area.
Its a mix of native limestone and brick, so
it seems appropriate for that part of campus,
Wade said.
The gateway has an estimated budget of about
$500,000, which was donated by the Docking
family. The gateway will be important because
it will let people know when they enter campus,
said Warren Corman, University architect.
Its a sense of place, Corman said. Psycho-
logically in architecture you dont feel comfort-
able unless you know where you are.

Surveying the damage after the March 12 mi-
croburst, Ross Dessert found plenty to deal with.
Dessert, who is in charge of facilities at the St.
Lawrence Catholic Campus Center, 1631 Cres-
cent Road, said two of the Centers four homes
sustained roof damage, the churchs roof was dam-
aged directly above the organ, and he found pieces
of Templin Hall that blew across the street.
But he didnt have to look hard to fnd a roofng
company. Earlier in the year the Center had new
roofs put on a couple of the
church properties.
Those held up pretty
well, Dessert said, adding
that the company, Alpha
Roofng, came back out
soon after the storm and
made the necessary fxes.
Alpha Roofngs Darin
Lutz said that his company,
like others around Law-
rence, had seen an increase
in customers since the storm
as businesses and homeown-
ers begin cleaning up.
For businesses, the hard-
est-hit area was along 23rd
Street, especially east of
campus and on Massachu-
setts Street.
Most cleanup work has
not yet begun, because busi-
nesses have to fll out paper-
work with their insurance
companies and collect bids on the work.
Sign companies have also been cashing in on
the storm.
Kim Van Dame, Star Signs project assistant,
said that in the frst week after the storm the com-
pany made about 30 bids on jobs created by the
storm, and work is still coming in as businesses
continue to communicate with their insurance
companies.
In the frst days after the storm, the company held
off on some of its current jobs and had employees
devoted exclusively to the cleanup process.

Dolph, twiddling his glasses with stout

come to town and get into the business and
you better be careful because if they work

Newspaper program to expand
By nicole kelley
nkelley@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The KU newspaper reader-
ship program will expand to
offer newspapers to students
during the summer school ses-
sion.
The program will put 800
newspapers on campus dur-
ing the summer including The
Kansas City Star, The Lawrence
Journal-World, USA Today and
The New York Times.
I think students always have
a curiosity and need to know
whats going on in the world,
said Molly Kocour, Lawrence
senior and chairwoman of the
newspaper readership advisory
board. Its a matter of conve-
nience and a matter of educat-
ing students.
Kocour said that over the
years there had been an excess
amount in the readership pro-
grams account that continued
to accumulate.
Last year, part of that amount
was used to bring The Wall
Street Journal into the program.
The remaining funds will cover
the summer program.
Each semester, students pay
a $5 newspaper readership fee
as part of their required campus
fees.

Sterner, student
body president, said
that the summer
newspapers would
become a perma-
nent part of the
readership program.

Here comes the bride,
all dressed in tackle
BRETHREN, Mich. A
couple brought together by a
passion for fshing was mar-
ried at where else? a
rivers boat ramp.
William Nickel read a short
poem Friday before asking
Vickie Wright to join him in the
Manistee River during their
wedding ceremony. They were
dressed in fy fshing gear,
with white fowers attached to
their vests. Family members
observed the ceremony from a
dock rather than church pews.
Nickel had proposed to
Wright a little over a year ago
and asked her to meet him at
the river for their wedding. He
recalled introducing Wright to
the sport of fshing saying
she has enjoyed it ever since.
I taught her how to fy fsh,
Nickel said. She has been
catching a lot more fsh lately.
While Nickel waited for the
pastor to arrive for the cer-
emony, he threw in a line and
caught 10 small fsh. He threw
them back after kissing one
of them for good luck at the
request of his bride-to-be.

Upset father sues
contentious coach
ARCADIA, Calif. When
Michael Oddeninos teenage
daughter complained that her
softball coach was insulting her
teammates, he took the dispute
off the diamond and into a court.
Oddenino, an attorney, fled
a lawsuit in Superior Court
claiming coach Don Riggio
inficted emotional distress on
a player when he called her
a 2-year-old and frequently
called other players idiots.
The suit sought $3 million
for intentional and negligent
infiction of emotional distress,
negligence, a civil rights viola-
tion, and sex discrimination.
But Superior Court Judge
Jan Pluim dismissed the
case, writing in her March 14
decision that there is nothing
wrong with a coach push-
ing an athlete to excel, and
in so doing, using words that
in another context would be
considered rude, demeaning
and even intimidating.
The suit had alleged that
Riggio took advantage of his
position of authority to engage
in an abusive pattern of exces-
sive intimidation and humili-
ation of the female players,
frequently calling them `idiots,
and belittling them for minor
errors.
Said Riggio: Im just glad
its over. Now we can move
forward and do what were
there for, and thats to coach.

man constructs home
entirely of concrete
AUBURN, Maine Termites
wouldnt like the house that
Mike Mercier built.
Mercier built his house out
of concrete 85 yards of it.
From the outside, the new
2,300-square-foot ranch-style
home doesnt look a lot dif-
ferent from most. The base-
ment and foot-thick exterior
walls are made of concrete
but so are the foors, win-
dowsills, counter tops and
end tables.
Mercier and his wife are
often asked if their bed is con-
crete. It is not.
Mercier, who has run a
concrete contracting business
for three decades, said he got
the idea of building a concrete
house from an exhibit he visited
at a World of Concrete conven-
tion.
Construction involved no
wood framing or plywood, just
windows, siding and interior
Sheetrock. Hollow foam blocks
were stacked and angled in-
side the walls before concrete
was pumped around it. Even
some of the furniture inside is
molded concrete.
The end tables are so cute,
said Sue Mercier.
The walls are so soundproof
that the Merciers dog has
a hard time hearing people
come up the driveway now.
Such a home is energy
effcient, because foam and
concrete homes use less oil
to heat, Mercier said. But a
concrete home costs 10-15
percent more to build than a
traditional wood-frame home,
he added.

Iowa alumni erect
school fag on capitol
DAVENPORT, Iowa Some
University of Iowa alums
elected to show school pride
in an odd way two weeks
ago, hanging an Iowa fag
atop a state building in
Illinois.
A construction crew in
Springfeld, Ill., apparently
raised the University of Iowas
Hawkeyes emblem while
working on a historic building
last week, unaware that only
U.S. and state fags are typi-
cally allowed to fy atop state
buildings.
The rules apply to state
buildings that are under
construction as well, so state
offcials in Illinois ordered
the Iowa fag taken down last
weekend.
Had we known their plan
we could have told them be-
fore it happened, said David
Blanchette, spokesman for the
Illinois Capital Development
Board.
Several workers for the
projects general contractor,
Halverson Construction Co.,
attended the University of
Iowa and apparently wanted to
show pride in their alma mater.
The building in question is
a train station that construc-
tion crews are converting
into a visitors center for the
Abraham Lincoln Presiden-
tial Library, a popular attrac-
tion.

Gateway
continued from page 1a
Corman said that the gate-
way was one of fve planned in
the master landscape plan pub-
lished in August of 2003. One
other gateway, the Malott Gate-
way, on 15th and Iowa streets,
has already been completed. The
other locations with planned
gateways are 19th Street and
Naismith Drive, 11th and Mis-
sissippi streets, and 17th and
Indiana streets. The remaining
three gateways still need fund-
ing before they can be built.
Construction of a permanent
traffc control booth south at the
intersection on 14th Street and
Oread Avenue will begin shortly
after graduation. There is now a
temporary booth at the intersec-
tion. The KU Parking Department
is funding the booths construc-
tion. Donna Hultine, director of
parking services, said that during
construction of the gateway, the
temporary traffc control booth
would allow southbound traffc
to come in, but northbound traffc
would be diverted to 14th Street.
Buses will still be allowed through.
Hultine said that her only concern
about the gateway moving the
location of the traffc booth was
leaving more of campus exposed.
Because theres so many bus-
es in that area, I hope it doesnt
become a resting place for cars
to stop and pick people up,
Hultine said.

Newspapers
continued from page 1a
Kocour said that this fee
would not need to be increased
to pay for the new summer pro-
gram because the increase in en-
rollment had given it the amount
needed.
Nick Sterner, student body
president, said the summer
newspapers would become a
permanent part of the reader-
ship program.
He said the board would use
this frst year to get a better idea
of the number of papers that
would actually be read.
We did what we could afford
and what would work, Sterner
said. We didnt want to over do
anything and thats why its a
pretty small program.
He said there would be a lim-
ited number of locations for the
newspapers during the summer
because there were less students
on campus each day.
The newspapers will be in
newspaper stands at the Kan-
sas Union, Fraser Hall, Green
Hall, Learned Hall, Summer-
feld Hall, Watson Library and
Anschutz Library.

Cleanup
continued from page 1a
Alpha Roofng did the same.
Lutz said the company hired extra
employees to help with the increase
in business. He guessed that the re-
pair work would continue through
the summer, and potentially into
the fall. That is not the case for lo-
cal landscaping companies, who
found themselves with cleanup
work initially, but not much in the
way of long-term jobs.
At one local company, Pre-
ferred Lawn Service, general man-
ager Scott Waisner said that be-
yond some work with the Kansas
University Endowment Associa-
tion, the company didnt receive
much of an increase in business.
However, spring is a busy time for
landscaping companies, meaning
they will have a full load of work
unrelated to the storm.
The fnal bill for the damage
is not yet in, but preliminary es-
timates from the University indi-
cate between $6 million and $7
million in repair costs associated
with the storm. Douglas County
as a whole fared slightly better.
Governor Kathleen Sebelius
asked the federal government for
fnancial aid, citing $5 million in
damage within the county, the
hardest hit in Kansas.

Softball reporter
resigns, articles fagged
The University Daily Kan-
san has accepted the resig-
nation of softball reporter
Jonathan Anderson.
On Sunday night, Ander-
son filed a bylined story
from Saturdays game that
was largely the same as a
press release from the Kan-
sas Athletics Department.
The story was not published,
but the Kansan started an in-
vestigation into his previously
published stories.
Bylined stories on Feb. 11,
2006, and March 30, 2006,
contained paragraphs that
were taken entirely from
press releases or with only
minor changes and not at-
tributed to the Athletics De-
partment.
Andersons explanation
was that on Sunday he sub-
mitted an incorrect version

Strike slows Denvers
public transportation
DENVER Commuters
hitched rides with friends,
used taxis and rented cars
Monday when Denver-area
transit workers went on strike
for the frst time in 24 years.
The Regional Transportation
District used private contractors
to keep about 45 percent of its
bus routes running but closed
light-rail operations and a
shuttle service stretching along
a downtown pedestrian mall.
Traffc fowed fairly smooth-
ly across most highways
during the morning rush, but
commuters had mixed feelings
about the strike.
I can understand them
wanting more benefts and
more money and though I
sympathize with them, Ill have
to tell you, me and other riders
are real upset, said Sheen
Ortega, 55.
The transit system aver-
ages about 275,000 rides per
weekday.
No new negotiations were
scheduled, although Yvette
Salazar, president of Amal-
gamated Transit Union Local
1001 said the two sides met
informally Monday. She said
RTD declined the unions sug-
gestion to enter arbitration.
Scott Reed, RTD spokesman,
said the agency would offer
no additional money but was
willing to restructure how it is
distributed.

Kansan staff writer
The Kansas State Board of
Educations redefnition of
science spurred the inception of
a new lecture series at the Uni-
versity of Kansas that will dis-
cuss the particulars of science in
Kansas.
Lawrence Krauss, professor
of physics at Case Western Re-
serve University, will kick off
the Science, Education and the
Public series at 7:30 tonight at
the Dole Institute of Politics.
The four-part lecture series
was designed to thwart attacks
on science in the state of Kan-
sas, including the Kansas State
Board of Educations accep-
tance of the intelligent design
theory.
Hume Feldman, associate
professor of physics, said he or-
ganized the series in response to
the Board of Educations decision
that the 500-year-old defnition of
science was not really suffcient.
The Board of Education
sought supernatural explana-
tions for natural phenomena,
Feldman said, instead of ac-
cepting scientifc explanations.
By doing such, they redefned
science, despite not having the
expertise to do such, he said.
The lecture series features
four speakers who Feldman said
could put dangerous Kansas
issues in perspective. By includ-
ing speakers from four separate
disciplines physics, philoso-
phy, paleontology and chem-
istry audiences will get four
different points of view.
Krauss lecture, Science
Under Attack, from the White
House to the Classroom: Public
Policy, Science Education and
the Emperors New Clothes,
will provide potential solutions
to attacks on science and spe-
cifcally address the debates on
evolution in Kansas and Ohio.
His books, including The Phys-
ics of Star Trek, explain the
laws of physics in relation to
popular science fction.
Krauss said he insisted sci-
ence be taught in science class-
rooms. Debates over the evo-
lution theory, such as the one
in Kansas, is a public relations
battle distorting both science
and religion that goes beyond
the academic realm, he said.
Joseph Heppert, chair of the
department of chemistry and
director of the Center for Sci-
ence Education, will complete
the series with Understanding
Alternatives to Evolution on
May 9. Heppert, the lone KU
speaker, will discuss the debate
on teaching intelligent design in
Kansas schools.
He said that as a scientist,
understanding where the real-
ity of the situation lies was im-
portant.
His lecture will review his
study of the testimony from the
May 2005 Board of Education
hearings about intelligent design
and science standards.

CUTITOUT!
Campuscoupons
coming soon to a Kansan near you
Dolph
continued from page 1a
You may not recognize his
name, but Dolph Simons Jr.,
chairman of The World Com-
pany and editor and publisher
of the Lawrence Journal-World,
may be the most infuential
man in Lawrence. It is almost
certain that you subscribe to
some medium that funnels your
money into his company and
his pockets the Lawrence
Journal-World, the citys only
commercial daily newspaper, or
Sunfower Broadband, the only
local cable TV service and the
dominant high-speed Internet
provider.
You may get phone service
from him or help with your
computers from his companys
Geeks on Wheels. The images
you can see on computers or
cable TV on campus are made
possible by a fber-optic con-
nection linking the University
of Kansas to Sunfower Broad-
band. His company prints USA
Today for this region, the Pitch
and the newspaper you are read-
ing right now The University
Daily Kansan. If you are a KU
student, part of your student
fees fund the Kansan, which
pays his company more than
$300,000 each year for printing
the student paper.
Dolph intensely anticipates
and worries about competi-
tion even though some argue
his news, cable and online op-
erations constitute a local media
monopoly.
Probe deeper and you fnd
other contradictions.
He is a blue-suited conserva-
tive, in politics and in lifestyle,
in a city of jeans-clad Bohe-
mians who cast their votes for
John Kerry, Kathleen Sebelius
and other liberal Democrats.
He preaches civic involvement,
especially in growth and devel-
opment, yet local liberals say
his paper and cable news chan-
nel eschew involvement in their
causes. He leads one of the most
technologically sophisticated
media operations in the world,
yet he types his Saturday col-
umn on a 1930s Royal typewrit-
er. His companies are staffed by
numerous graduates of the KU
School of Journalism, yet most
of his donations go elsewhere in
the University. He contributes
millions to the University, yet
bashes it regularly in his weekly
column.
A Lawrence media dynasty: the
Simons family
Dolph Simons, 76, grew up in
Lawrence and graduated with
a KU journalism degree. As a
young man, he worked abroad
at the Times of London and at
the Johannesburg Star in South
Africa. By 1978, he had suc-
ceeded his father, Dolph senior,
as publisher and editor of the
Journal-World and as president
of The World Company.
The company began when
W.C. Simons traveled by horse
and buggy from St. Joseph, Mo.,
to Lawrence in 1891 and bought
one of seven competing news-
papers for $50.
Today the company employs
nearly 600 people in Lawrence.
About 80 percent of the citys
households receive cable from
Sunfower, which also offers
cable in Eudora, Tonganoxie,
Basehor and Piper. Nine out
of 10 households in Lawrence
receive information from the
companys newspapers, Internet
editions or cable television each
day.
Dolphs days
Dressed in a suit and tie,
Dolph arrives at The World
Company headquarters, 609
New Hampshire St., at 7:30
each morning and strolls to the
offce guarded by a phalanx of
receptionists.
He evaluates the morning
paper in detail as he sits behind
his desk, cluttered with stacks
of paper, magazines, books and
newspapers. He critiques all as-
pects of the Journal-World, from
how the stories are played and
their quality to the advertise-
ments and the quality of news-
print.
He reads several other papers
to see how they played the same
news. The rest of his day in-
volves meetings both inside and
outside headquarters, which
may include the KU Hall Cen-
ter for the Humanities, Midwest
Research Institute or the Kansas
Bioscience Authority.
He also might meet with local
legislators, school board mem-
bers and superintendents or KU
faculty and administrators.
In most newspaper offces,
thats the name of the game,
Dolph said. Youre supposed
to be involved with the commu-
nity.
He usually forgoes lunch, opt-
ing instead to munch on crack-
ers in his offce. He returns at
5 or 6 p.m. to his $1.2-million
home near 23rd and Vermont
streets surrounded by a large
grass yard and fanked by tall
trees, its porch adorned with
an American fag. When hes
not working, he vacations at his
lake cabin in Minnesota, fshing
and spending time with family.
Dolphs hand in the news
At the Journal-World, he is all
business. Dolph meets with re-
porters and editors in the news-
room to discuss coverage, but
avoids social gatherings with re-
porters at bars that other editors
might indulge in.
Those of us in the business
need to conduct ourselves in a
manner that refects well on the
business, Dolph said. I dont
believe that a person should be
a reporter and be known as a big
gambler, or a boozer, or chasing
skirts.
Dolphs infuence on the con-
tent of the paper is considerable,
but mostly indirect.
One Journal-World staffer
who asked not to be identifed
by name or gender said Dolph
regularly used red grease pencils
to write notes to staffers about
stories in the Journal-World.
The notes both praise and criti-
cize and might suggest possible
stories. On a rare occasion, re-
porters and editors receive a
typed note.
Dolph uses the notes because
he doesnt communicate by e-
mail, the source said.
On rare occasions, Dolphs
infuence on content may ex-
ceed notes scrawled in red.
Two sources at the newspa-
per, who asked that their names
be withheld, said the Journal-
World was preparing to publish
a story about Jack Schreiner, a
Free State High School teacher
and basketball coach who was
arrested Oct. 19 and charged
with window-peeping. Ralph
Gage, chief operating offcer
of The World Company for 36
years, ordered that the story be
held, according to one source.
A lot of people thought it was
easily the most important story
of the day, one source said.
After complaints from mid-
level editors, Gage said the story
could be published but that it
had to be brief, inside the paper
and under a one-column head-
line, one source said. When the
story ran under a three-column
headline on page 3B Oct. 26,
Gage complained to city editor
Mike Shields about the place-
ment of the story in the paper,
the two sources said. Shields
quit in protest, but returned to
work about a week later, the
sources said.
It got delayed and buried,
one source said. It did get pub-
lished though.
Shields declined to be inter-
viewed for this story.
Gage declined to discuss the
newsroom controversy over the
handling of the Schreiner story
or whether Dolph was involved
in it, and Dolph never respond-
ed to repeated questions about
it left by phone and in writing.
Kathy Underwood, his recep-
tionist, explained They feel
like theyve given you enough of
their time and theyre through.
In an earlier e-mail interview,
Gage explained that his role in
the company was to carry out
major policy decisions made by
Dolph.
He tells me what to do, not
vice versa, Gage said. I craft
suggestions, put forth ideas.
Then whatevers decided, its my
job to make it happen.
Former staffers praised him
as a person, but complained
that depth reporting was dis-
couraged.
Kendrick Blackwood, now a
staff writer for the Pitch, worked
as a reporter for two-and-a-half
years in the late 90s, when The
World Company began to com-
bine its print, television and
online operations, but left the
newspaper because he wanted
to write longer articles, which
he said were discouraged at the
Journal-World.
Blackwood said he and other
reporters were required to write
one article per day and one for
the weekend. The paper does
well at daily news coverage, he
said, but I wished at the time we
could have done more in-depth,
longer enterprise articles.
Tim Carpenter was a Journal-
World reporter from 1988, when
the newsroom didnt have a fax
machine, he said, to 2004 when
the company was a leader in
multimedia news. He left to take
his current job as an investiga-
tive reporter at the Topeka Cap-
ital-Journal because he wanted
to chase bigger stories, he said.
Carpenter called Dolph a
great guy, while acknowledging
that Dolphs Saturday column
and his politics ruffed some
feathers in Lawrence.
If they want to write edito-
rials, they should start a paper,
he said of Dolphs critics.
Me and my typewriter know noth-
ing about convergence.
Dolph refuses to use e-mail
and doesnt use a personal com-
puter. His secretaries handle
his electronic correspondence,
while he types his notes, his let-
ters and his column on a shiny
black 1930s Royal typewriter.
I will admit I am stubborn to
change, he said.
Dan Simons, Dolphs son
and president of The World
Companys electronics division,
smiles when talking about how
his technologically-challenged
father decided to go multime-
dia. He explained that his father
reads a ton, notices trends and
asks good questions.
He ingrained in all of us,
never be complacent, Simons
said. He has a saying: Drive
with your bright lights on.
Dolph learned about cable
television at newspaper publish-
ers meetings in New York in
the 1960s and when he returned
home, he decided to plunge into
the cable business, he said.
Dolph got into cable televi-
sion even though people advised
him against it.
My idea was, Id give it a try
and fnd out it didnt work, rath-
er than sit on our fannies and
not do it, than have someone
come to town and think, Why
didnt we do it when we had the
chance? Dolph said.
At frst, Dolph wanted the
cable operation to be separate
from the newspaper.
I didnt want people to think
that they were getting fed out
of the same spoon by the same
company, he said.
Ralph Gage said at frst the
newspaper and television station
competed fercely, but manage-
ment began to see that both op-
erations faced competition from
newspapers and TV stations in
Topeka and Kansas City.
Those entities were being
gobbled up by big organizations,
Gage said about Kansas City and
Topeka media. Big media com-
panies Knight Ridder, Mor-
ris, you name it. Its not like we
woke up one morning, but over a
short period of time, we certainly
did recognize that our future de-
pended on us changing.
In 2001, the company com-
bined its television, print and
Internet news operations. Only
100 other media companies had
adopted convergence at that
time, Gage estimates.
That convergence bothers
some, like David Burress, a re-
tired research economist for the
KU Policy Research Institute,
who frequently writes critical
letters to the newspaper.

NEWS 6A THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN TUESDAY, APRIL 4, 2006
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5A
He complains that The World
Companys operations consti-
tute a classical media monopoly
in Lawrence. A few other in-
formation sources exist in the
city, such as the Kansan, but the
student newspaper cannot com-
pete in the general community,
Burress says.
Because of The World Com-
panys monopoly, businesses
feel pressured to avoid placing
advertisements in alternative
papers, such as The Lawren-
cian, he says. Burress cites the
failures of a number of weeklies
in Lawrence over the years.
Businesses feel that if they
advertise in weeklies, they are
less likely to get free publicity
in the Journal-World, Burress
said. Thats a monopolistic
practice.
Similar to cable companies in
most cities, Sunower Broad-
band is able to charge more
money for its cable service be-
cause it has little competition,
he said.
Cable prices are unreason-
able everywhere its a license
to print money, Burress said.
Dolph said major newspaper
companies have tried to move
into Lawrence.
Youve got Kansas City, with
their new press coming up ... I
know damn well theyre going
to try to come here. Topeka tries
to come in here, Dolph said.
Sure, I can appreciate and
understand that somebody
would say, My God what a mo-
nopoly. And in one sense, it
would appear that way. And in
one sense, it is. But that doesnt
mean that somebody else cant
come in here and start some-
thing, Dolph said.
Dolph said he already has
competition in Lawrence,
pointing to Internet service from
AT&T (formerly SBC), newspa-
pers in Topeka, Leavenworth
and Ottawa, and radio and tele-
vision stations in Kansas City
and Topeka. Dolph even sees
the Kansan as a local competi-
tor for newspaper advertising.
He refused to be photographed
for this story, although he sat
for one to accompany an article
about him in The New York
Times. The Kansan purchased
that photo from the Times for
this article.
Paul Jess, a retired KU jour-
nalism professor who was gen-
eral manager of the Kansan from
1980-1982, said he remembered
when The Associated Press sud-
denly began charging the Kan-
san the higher commercial rate
instead of the university rate for
wire stories and photos. The AP
is a cooperative owned by the
newspapers it serves includ-
ing the Kansan and the Journal-
World.
Jess recalled that a student on
the advertising side decided to
expand Kansan circulation by
placing boxes lled with Kan-
sans throughout Lawrence. An
AP employee called shortly after
and told Jess that the Kansan
would be charged the higher
commercial rate for articles and
photos.
While the AP didnt tell Jess
whether anyone had com-
plained, the AP justied its de-
cision because the Kansan was
competing, Jess said. Jess said
it was a valid assumption
that the complaint came from
Dolph, the Kansans only local
competitor.
Dolph denies that The World
Company played a role in the
price increase.
Tom Eblen, general manag-
er of the Kansan from 1986 to
2001, said his relationship with
Dolph was positive and that
the printing quality of the Kan-
san improved greatly when The
World Company began print-
ing it in color and not in just
black and white.
Malcolm Gibson, current
general manager of the Kansan
and a member of the journal-
ism faculty, said he didnt know
of a better relationship between
a city and a college newspaper
than the one between the Jour-
nal-World and the Kansan.
Today the Kansan pays the
lower university rate for AP
articles and photos and Gib-
son said he hoped the Kansan
would soon circulate around
town again.
Everything Ive sought to
accomplish with the Journal-
World, I have, with respect to
the AP rules, too. And I expect
to accomplish everything, Gib-
son said.
The University
Ann Brill, dean of the KU
School of Journalism, converses
with Dolph about once a month,
she said. The World Companys
leadership in multimedia news
perfectly complements the cur-
riculum of the school, which is
a national leader in multimedia
news, she said.
Dolph and his two sons, Dan
and Dolph III, president of the
companys newspaper division
who is known in the company
as D-three, are members of the
William Allen White Founda-
tion board of trustees and the
Deans Club, a group of donors
who give $1,000 or more a year
to the school.
Brill said Dolph has been
generous to the school, but
could not reveal exact amounts
because of condentiality rules.
I think his contributions to
the school have been more in
terms of resources, she said.
Dolph supports the school
by hiring students and provid-
ing interns at the Journal-World
with unpaid instruction from
the papers staff, Brill explained.
People have told her that Dolph
speaks highly of the school as
well, she said.
Because he is a person of
inuence, much more beyond
Lawrence than a lot of people
realize, that helps that the local
publisher thinks highly of what
youre doing, Brill said.
Dolph declined to reveal the
sum of his contributions, and
the KU Endowment Associa-
tion, a private entity, is not re-
quired to provide that informa-
tion unless donors agree, said
spokeswoman Jen Humphrey.
Dolph and his familys most
recent contribution to the Uni-
versity amounted to $2.125 mil-
lion, part of an $8.5-million do-
nation to the KU Endowment
Charitable Gift Fund, Humphrey
said. She explained that another
$2.125 million of that money
went to the Douglas County
Community Foundation. Endow-
ment allows donors to designate
charitable recipients outside the
University. The Simons family
will decide where the remaining
$4.25 million will be distributed
either to the University or to
the Douglas County Community
Foundation, Humphrey said.
Dolph said that his donations
had funded the Simons Media
Center inside the Robert J. Dole
Institute of Politics, the Dolph
Simons Room inside the Wa-
gnon Student Athlete Center,
and that he had contributed to
various schools on campus.
Its not designed so that we
give more to one particular school,
or to one particular program than
to another one, he said.
Despite his KU contributions,
Dolph frequently criticizes KU
administrators in his Saturday
column in the Journal-World.

Greg Griesenaver/KANSAN
ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH
Under the circumstances, the less said
the better. You are a hotbed of ideas, es-
pecially if brainstorming with one particu-
lar person. Others might not understand
your mental processes the same way this
person does.
Tonight: In your head.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH
Examine what keeps getting tossed at
you. You will make a great tennis racket
as you throw the ball into someone elses
court as frequently as he or she does
yours. Many ideas come from many differ-
ent people.
Tonight: Hang with your friends.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH
An opportunity to learn more could beneft
you in multiples, especially fnancially. Be
willing to learn more and open the doors
to more mental growth. Travel, a class
or someone quite different could be the
source of information.
Tonight: Put your bills in order.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH
Wish for more in your life and make it hap-
pen. If you dont have the accompanying
drive, you will fnd it harder to achieve. Act
on your heartfelt desires. The time is now.
Tonight: Smile away.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HH
Knowing when to vanish could be ben-
efcial right now. You have a lot on your
mind, as does a key associate. Exchange
information and opinions in a quiet man-
ner with decorum and respect.
Tonight: Take some time off from lifes
demands.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH
Be a lot clearer about what you want and
need. Others will listen, especially if you
tune in to your more emotional side and
personality. You might be surprised by
what is going on. Examine the end results.
Tonight: Where your friends are.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH
You are called upon to make a judgment
and take a stand. Making good decisions
requires having the facts -- all the facts.
Assume responsibility, and you could hit
a home run with ease. Listen to your sixth
sense.
Tonight: A force to be dealt with.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH
Sometimes you see life differently
because of events or a new perspective.
As intense as you are as a sign is as much
as you need to detach. Not every issue is
life-or-death, though you might make it so.
Ease up and chill out.
Tonight: Rent a movie.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH
Others clearly want to be major players,
whether you are interested or not. Listen
to opinions knowing full well you dont
have to say yes or no. Others might give
you much more insight without knowing it.
Tonight: Schedule time for yourself.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH
Know when to defer and take the high
road. You might have diffculty under-
standing where others are coming from.
Stay quiet, and youll get the answers you
are looking for. Listen rather than talk.
Tonight: Let someone else choose.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH
Make it a point to stay focused. Get as
much done as you can at this point. Your
sense of dedication and purpose needs
to come out. Pace yourself, but dont
forget to schedule an important doctors
appointment.
Tonight: Early to bed.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH
Your ability to understand a lot comes
out in a discussion. Listen to feedback
from some other sources. Sometimes you
could be too sure of yourself and cause
yourself a problem. Be open to different
styles.
Tonight: Add some playfulness to your life.

Today in our COMS

talking about the impli-

with a cactus.

I love Spencer. I love
him. Hes my favorite.

Free-for-All, do you
think its weird that I
like to get really, really,
really high and watch
the 700 Club with Pat
Robertson?
n
Not that I like Delta
Force or anything, but
is it just me or is it
everything that Ignite
is promising absolutely
impossible? I think they
must all be freshmen.

Alright, Queers and
Allies have this week,
but next week were
going to have Straight
Awareness Week. Were
going to flaunt our
straightness so every-
one is aware of it.
People that play the
guitar and are really
good at the guitar are
only that way because
they couldnt make the
high school basketball
team.

Im going to need an
editors note for this
one. I was just looking
at the timetable for next
year for classes, and are
they really going to of-
fer a Dance Dance Revo-
lution class next year at
KU? Thats ridiculous.
(Editors note: Its
true. Im in the class this

turn it in to the Burge

Why were there

I always considered the most
fattering term to describe myself
to be news junkie. I took pride
that I was the only one in my high
school who watched The Daily
Show, an experience that was
considerably heightened by my
compulsion to read every news-
paper within reach. For a while, I
subscribed to more than a dozen
magazines, ranging from Vanity
Fair to The Nation to ESPN to The
Atlantic. All news was fair game,
and I absorbed it as fast as I could.
That makes me a prime candi-
date for an addiction to the Web-
based media format commonly
known as a blog. I have calculated
that during a typical weekday I
may spend up to two hours in
front of my computer reading blogs
and the articles they link to. They
represent a variety of sources, such
as Deadspin for sports headlines,
Treehugger for eco-news, and
Newsdesigner for developments
in, well, newspaper design. But the
vast majority of my time is spent
reading mostly liberal politi-
cal blogs, such as Eschaton, Politi-
cal Animal, Think Progress, and
Daily Kos.
I still read the more mainstream
sources of news, but my bearings
as to what is news has been
shifted considerably by these
blogs. For instance, the week
before last, the blogosphere was
embroiled in a matter of admit-
tedly little signifcance when The
Washington Post Web site hired
a 24-year-old conservative writer,
Ben Domenech, to start a new
blog called Red America. The
initial opponents regarded the
seeming imbalance shown by the
Post in not creating a similar blog
for Blue America. But things
took a turn after just a few days
when the Daily Kos found the
writer in question had engaged in
a pattern of plagiarism extending
from his college days through his
time at other publications such
as the National Review Online.
The above-mentioned blogs, plus
several others, kept writing about
the matter for 24 hours until the
writer resigned, less than a week
into his job.
I tell you about this because for
three days, I couldnt read most
of my blogs without seeing this
mans name, and yet, whenever I
read CNN.com or The New York
Times or even Yahoo! News, there
would be no word of it. How
could be there no word? This was
a signifcant event. Otherwise why
would all of these people, these
bloggers, be talking about it?
What we are seeing is more than
the creation of a new medium,
but perhaps a revolution of media
itself. Instead of letting newspa-
pers or TV decide what we see,
we actively choose what blogs we
read and what flters we put on our
knowledge. The unsettling ques-
tion then becomes: If blogs altered
my defnition of news, what else
have they done to me?
n Scarrow is a Humboldt senior
in history.
Like the bright-yellow
goalposts swallowed in the
depths of Potter Lake, our
school has a number of tradi-
tions that have gotten lost
over time. But one tradition
that had gone by the way-
side, only to reemerge once
again after four years of ob-
scurity, is Day on the Hill.
The SUA-sponsored event
began in 1988 as a venue to
attract nationally renowned
bands that included Pearl
Jam, They Might Be Giants,
Son Venezuela and the Gin
Blossoms. (Rememberthey
were cool at the time). In its
halcyon days the event drew
thousands of hacky sack en-
thusiasts and music lovers.
Unfortunately, the only
current students who previ-
ously have been privy to this
event are victory-lap seniors.
The last Day on the Hill
was held during the spring
of 2002. Talent fees for the
event had grown to the point
where SUA could no longer
afford it.
This year is a different
story, however, thanks to
the increase in student fees
which SUA benefited from.
Its a good thing, too, because
when else is there an event
on campus that appeals to
every KU student? Lets be
honest: A number of schools
respectively kick our ass in
the Homecoming depart-
ment, Hawk Week is a great
mandatory list of events for
incoming freshmen and do
we even have a Greek Week?
The University of Kansas
needs an event like this for
every student to take pride
in and enjoy. The bands ap-
pearing this year, like Spoon,
Ghosty and Sharon Jones, are
an eclectic enough mix that
should appeal to music snobs
and Top 40 lovers alike.
For too long KU students
have missed out on a popu-
lar school tradition. Now
that is has returned, though,
everyone should check it out
when it starts at 2 p.m. this
Saturday on the Lied Center
Lawn. Its free, its fun and
it used to be popular. Thats
more than you can say for a
lot of things at the Univer-
sity.
Malinda Osborne for the

Dear KU,
Greetings from Nicaragua!
Im spending several weeks here
and in Costa Rica teaching a
high school biology course and
doing dissertation research. The
opportunity for my young stu-
dents to learn about the natural
world by experiencing it frst-
hand is absolutely irreplaceable.
Every day, theyre coming across
creatures they never couldve
imagined, and theyre asking
questions and making connec-
tions that no textbook couldve
prompted. For some students,
this experience is transforma-
tive they now plan to study
science in college when they
hadnt thought of doing so be-
fore. For others, the experience
is perhaps even more valuable
they wont go on to be scien-
tists, but theyve had a frst-hand
look at what scientists do, and
theyve gained an indelible ap-
preciation for how amazing life
on earth can be. In either case,
spending time learning outside
of the classroom has changed
these kids lives.
How are your classes go-
ing? This late in the semester,
I imagine youre bogged down
in the daily grind of keeping up
with homework and cramming
for exams that never seem to
end. Its amazing how, for all
the studying we do, we really
dont remember all that much
after the semester is done. Sure,
the basic concepts bounce
around in our heads, but all
the details seem to slip away.
It makes you wonder how
complete an education can be if
it consists exclusively of taking
notes in a lecture hall, follow-
ing cookbook instructions in a
lab, and pouring over hundreds
of pages in books.
Have you considered stepping
outside of the classroom before
you graduate? I highly recom-
mend it. The academic experi-
ences I remember most from my
undergraduate days are those that
allowed me to teach myself, rather
than those when someone else
condensed and recounted what
others had done in times past.
In one simple instance, I was
assigned to watch some daisies
in a campus garden with the
task of recording a half hours
worth of insect visitors. Com-
paring my observations to those
of my rose and conefower-
watching classmates drove
home the point of pollinator
specialization much better than
hearing about it in a lecture hall.
Soon thereafter, I spent two
summers taking feld courses
in northern Minnesota, where
each day was flled with making
observations or conducting
experiments outside rain or
shine, mosquitoes guaranteed. I
later sought out a professor back
on campus to advise me while I
designed and carried out three
semesters of independent stud-
ies on butterfies, which I had
to work into my evenings and
weekends around my already-
full course load.
These experiences were a lot
of work and certainly time-con-
suming, but I wouldnt trade
them for the world. Not only
was I able to see biological
concepts in action, reinforcing
things I had only read about be-
fore, but I also came to realize
that feld ecology was the career
for me. I entered grad school
ready for the ups and downs
of ongoing research. So now,
several years later, I sit here in
Nicaragua, continuing to teach
myself while introducing others
to the wonders of nature by get-
ting them out of the monotony
of the classroom. These hands-
on experiences really round out
an education, so I hope you
also fnd yourself outside of the
classroom soon.
Wishing you were here,
Heather
n York is a graduate student
in ecology and evolutionary
biology.
NEWS 10A ThE UNivErSiTy DAily KANSAN TUESDAy, April 4, 2006
continued from page 6a
In October, Dolph wrote
a column lambasting Provost
David Shulenburgers offce as
a bottleneck for new ideas
proposed by KU faculty. Quot-
ing anonymous sources, he la-
mented what he called a nega-
tive attitude toward change by
Shulenburger.
That wasnt initiated by me
necessarily, it was a number of
faculty people who talked to
me, Dolph said. Things were
slow getting done, slow getting
executed and the nickname for
the provosts offce was the no
offce.
The University is an excellent
state-aided University, but it has
failed to tell its story in the legis-
lature and throughout the state,
Dolph said.
Shulenburger declined to
comment on the column. How-
ever, he said Dolph held strong
views on the University and his
newspaper was a platform from
which he could express those
views.
The papers politics
Critics say the Journal-Worlds
coverage of the business com-
munity is soft and seldom nega-
tive. It also provides little cover-
age of peace and environmental
groups, they say.
Tim Miller, religious studies
professor at the University and
columnist for The Lawrencian, a
local alternative monthly paper,
is a self-described Dolph critic.
Miller has two main problems
with Dolph: He owns the only
paper in town, and he didnt
earn his position, he says.
Dolph acknowledges he got a
head start from his grandfather
and father. His father, however,
told him there was no guarantee
that he would get the job. If he
had been a misft, he wouldnt
have been able to fll the leader-
ship position, he said.
The Journal World refuses to
cover businesses in a negative
light, Miller said. It supports
whats good for businesses and
provides little coverage of labor,
he said.
Dolph said he wished more
business writers worked at the
Journal-World. Journalists lack
training in business writing, he
complained.
Ive talked to people in the
journalism school and the busi-
ness school. I wish that KU had
some courses between journal-
ism and business, he said.
Kendrick Blackwood, the for-
mer Journal-World reporter, said
that to his knowledge, Dolph
never required reporters to slant
articles in a pro-business man-
ner. Blackwood recalled that he
wrote some semi hard-hitting
articles about Doug Compton,
who owns First Management
Inc. and may be the largest real
estate developer in Lawrence.
Compton advertises in both the
Journal-World and the Kansan.
Amber Fraley, editor of The
Lawrencian, says the Journal-
World tends to avoid stories
important to local liberals. Jour-
nal-World and Channel 6 news
staffers may avoid the stories
because they dont know how
interested people are in them,
but the lack of coverage also has
to do with a mindset that begins
with Dolph, she says.
I get the impression that
hes pro-business and politically
conservative, Fraley said. He
operates his paper with the as-
sumption that everyone in Law-
rence thinks that way, too.
Even so, she says, the paper
has become more liberal in the
past 20 years, perhaps for busi-
ness rather than political rea-
sons.
It took a long time for Dolph
and the company to realize the
liberals are not just drugged-up
hippies with no jobs, Fraley
said. The liberals in this town
have good-paying jobs. They
spend money in the community
and they want a voice as to what
happens in the community. For
fnancial reasons, they cant con-
tinue to shut out these people.
Carey Maynard-Moody, vice
chairwoman of the Lawrence
chapter of the Kansas Sierra
Club and resident of Lawrence
for 25 years, says Dolphs news
operations provide scant envi-
ronmental coverage. The busi-
ness community is wary of the
potential restriction of develop-
ment that environmental con-
cerns pose, she said.
We all have our passions and
business is his passion, she said
of Dolph.
Dolph describes himself as a
moderate, and more conserva-
tive than liberal, but he does
not support any candidates f-
nancially, he said. In state elec-
tions and in national elections,
Dolph says he votes most often
for Republicans.
Historically in Kansas, the
Republican party has been the
majority party and has been
able to feld the strongest type
of candidates, he said. There
have been Democrats though,
such as Bob Docking, who we
supported editorially and per-
sonally.
The Journal-World runs opin-
ion columns from socially con-
servative syndicated columnists
Cal Thomas and James Dobson,
founder of Colorado Springs,
Colorado-based Focus on the
Family, but also carries such lib-
erals as Leonard Pitts and Ellen
Goodman.
A newspaper should run con-
servative columnists even if the
publisher or owner is a staunch,
liberal Democrat, Dolph said.
Like his father, Dolph has
long been involved as a mem-
ber and offcer of the Lawrence
Chamber of Commerce, the
citys most important advocate
for business interests, and Jour-
nal-World editorials have gener-
ally supported proposed devel-
opments or business expansion
in the city.
Melinda Henderson, coordi-
nator for Progressive Lawrence
Campaign, an organization that
she says believes in sensible
growth, complained that Dolph
writes that people in her orga-
nization dont want the city to
grow at all.
Thats my biggest complaint
That he says theres a small
group of no-growths, Hender-
son said. A lot of his columns
make total sense, but then hell
try to paint the picture that peo-
ple want to stop growth.
Ann Gardner, editor of the
Journal-Worlds opinion page,
is one of the chambers past
presidents. Because the news-
paper has editorialized about
business and growth issues, that
raises questions as to a confict
of interest. While the Journal-
World doesnt share its code of
ethics with readers, The Kansas
City Stars code of ethics states,
editorial employees should not
belong to organizations about
which they must write or make
editorial judgments.
Gardner explains, Im not
unilaterally forming editorial
opinion for the Journal-World.
Id have to lead a pretty seques-
tered life to not write anything
and to not be involved in a com-
munity this size.
Dolph said he told Gardner
she should make clear to the
chamber that just because she
served did not mean that she
would support its position.
Its something that needs to
be discussed, he said. But the
chamber and businesses are not
going to get a blank check from
the Journal-World, he said.
You cant ever be in the hip
pocket of a city manager, or a
mayor, or a chamber of com-
merce, or a football coach, or
an athletic director or a chancel-
lor, Dolph said. You need to be
supportive and helpful, but you
just cant be in their hip pockets.
Thats just not our business.
Local politicians of both par-
ties describe Dolph as involved
in the community.
Mark Buhler, vice president
and sales manager at Stephens
Real Estate, says he used to
speak with Dolph regularly
when Buhler was a Republican
in the Kansas Senate and a mem-
ber of the board of the Chamber
of Commerce. He and Dolph
talked about growth, planning
and real estate, he said.
Hes a much easier person to
talk to than people think he is,
Buhler said.
Paul Davis, an attorney and
Democrat in the Kansas House
of Representatives, says he talks
with Dolph periodically about
legislative, community and KU
issues.
He has his political opinions,
as we all do, Davis said. It
doesnt matter whether youre
a Republican or a Democrat
hes always willing to talk.
The future
The odds for keeping any
successful business in the family
decrease with each generation,
Dolph said, acknowledging
that the number of independent
media companies is shrink-
ing, too. Tax laws, the increas-
ing complexity of the informa-
tion business and the future of
newspapers are among his chief
concerns. Though his two sons
hold leadership positions in the
company, hes given permission
to both his sons and his two
daughters to sell the company.
But he says hes confdent Dan
and Dolph III can carry on The
World Company.
Until then, despite what crit-
ics say, Dolph will continue to
lead his dominant World Com-
pany the way he always has
supporting growth for both his
business and his community, yet
wary of potential competitors.

storms in Tennessee
kill at least 27 people
NEWBERN, Tenn. Homes
were shredded to their founda-
tions in zigzagging lines of
destruction that stretched for
miles as wicked thunderstorms
crashed across eight states,
spinning off tornadoes, spit-
ting out hail and killing at least
27 people.
The worst damage from
Sunday nights storms oc-
curred along a 25-mile path
through rural western Tennes-
see, where raging wind tore
off roofs, shattered buildings
into splinters and knocked
down solid brick homes.
Most of the houses, you
cant count. Theyre just gone,
said Roy Childress, who was
part of a church relief crew that
was delivering food and water
to survivors Monday.
The brunt of the storms,
some packing softball-sized
hail, blasted an area between
the small town of Newbern,
about 80 miles northeast of
Memphis, to Bradford. Twenty-
seven people were killed,
including an infant and the
grandparents who had been
baby-sitting him.
I just feel lost. Ive been
numb ever since last night,
said Diane Wyrick, who lost the
mobile home she had lived in
since 1973. I lost, but at least
I didnt lose my life and thats
a lot.
State police sent teams with
search dogs to the area Mon-
day to check what remained of
damaged homes and busi-
nesses for anyone who might
be trapped in the rubble. Many
neighborhoods were blocked
off to reporters.
Betty Sisk grabbed her son
and daughter, ages 10 and 13,
and took cover in a closet until
the twister blew their house
apart and threw them into the
yard.
By the time the sirens
started going off, it was at our
back door, Sisk said Monday.
I didnt hear a train sound, I
heard a roaring.

Jackson County, Mo., voters
will determine today whether
the Truman Sports Complex in
Kansas City, Mo., will add a roll-
ing, retractable roof.
The possibility of a roof over
Arrowhead and Kauffman Sta-
diums pushed Kansas City to a
possible site to hold a Super-
bowl, an MLB All-Star game
and an NCAA Final Four.
Tentatively, these events
would happen between 2010
and 2015. A Final Four in
Kansas City would provide
local fans with an opportuni-
ty to watch the Jayhawks play
for a national championship.
Kansas City Mayor Kay
Barnes said a Final Four in 2013
could be a reality if the measure
was approved.
The 1988 NCAA mens bas-
ketball championship was held
at Kemper Arena. Danny Man-
ning and the Jayhawks won that
years championship, which
was the 50th anniversary of the
NCAA.
Ironically, 2013 would be
the 75th anniversary of the
NCAA, and a chance for the
Jayhawks to repeat history as
champions.
Thats an exciting possibil-
ity, Barnes said.
Jim Marchiony, associate
athletics director, said Kan-
sas being the host school in
2013 had not been consid-
ered yet.
Regardless, the University
and the Athletics Department
would beneft from a local Final
Four.
Barnes said the roof would
help launch Kansas City to a
national sports symbol. The
roof could bring future national
events, which compliment the
Kansas Speedway.
I would stack us against any
city in America, Barnes said.
I see nothing but positive rein-
forcement.
Barnes said sport and non-
sport tourism in Kansas City
would increase as well. She said
there had been a positive eco-
nomic fow from the raceway,
and that trend would continue
to increase with the roofs pres-
ence.
HOK, an architectural frm
in Kansas City, Mo., will design
the roof if the measure passes.
A rolling roof that moves
from Kauffman to Arrowhead
Stadium, or vice versa, has
challenges in making the ap-
pearances of the facilities look
attractive.
Gina Leo, HOK spokes-
woman, said the frms design-
ers had a tough task making the
roof appear natural in respect
to the current architecture and
design of the stadiums. She said
it could be done, and with good
success.
Kansas City has been a
major league town for 40-plus
years, Leo said. If this bill
passes we will make sure it
stays that way for another 25
years.
In order to fund the $202
million cost of the roof, a
Jackson County, Mo., sales tax
increase would be imposed.
In addition, the Kansas
City Chiefs would cover some
of the cost and whoever pur-
chased the naming rights for
the addition would cover the
rest.

Kansas is coming off its frst
Big 12 series victory of the sea-
son and will try for its frst sea-
son sweep of Wichita State since
2000 on Wednesday at Eck Sta-
dium. Kansas is eighth in the Big
12, but only a half game behind
its weekend opponent, Texas
Tech, which sits at sixth in the
conference.
Senior outfelder and Wich-
ita native Matt Baty missed 18
straight games because of spleen
and kidney lacerations, but he is
hopeful he will return at some
point this week.
Senior closer Don Czyz has
the opportunity to break Big 12
and Kansas records this week.
The next time Czyz takes the
mound, he will tie the Big 12
career appearances record with
111. Czyz is also one save shy
of tying the Kansas single sea-
son record of 11 set by Jimmy
Walker in 1993.
Freshman frst baseman
Preston Land owns an eight-
game hit streak, but sopho-
more outfelder John Allman
swings the hottest bat. Allman
recorded multiple hits in Kan-
sas past four games and has
hit safely in Kansas past fve.
He hit .526 during that span
with fve RBI.

The team won the intramural
basketball championship in the
Mens Open Bracket with a vic-
tory against SEK Connection,
54-48, on March 29.
Ringel, a Fort Worth, Texas,
native, has possessed a knack
for hitting big shots and leading
the team in scoring on the court.
He has excelled at the position
of small forward all year.
Eli is a really great player
and was defnitely the leader
of our team, said Nick Hague,
McPherson freshman and Rin-
gels teammate.
Ringel said the team was
brought together at the last min-
ute when he and his brother
combined players from each of
their different squads.
Our only goal was a champi-
onship, Ringel said.
This aspiration seemed to be in
question when the team met DJ
Wrinkle Finger in the semifnals,
a team that Ringel called the most
talented team in the league.

How do you like them apples
Freshman
contributes to
championship
Joshua Bickel/KANSAN
Eli Ringel, Fort Worth, Texas, freshman, helped lead his intramural
basketball team, I Like Apples, to the Mens Open Bracket Champion-
ship on March 29 in Allen Fieldhouse with a 54-48 victory against SEK
Connection. Ringel led his team in scoring.
The day after the college bas-
ketball season ends is a sad one.
Many experience withdrawal
when they come down from
Marchs high. The best way to
deal is to refect on good times.
On that note, lets refect on
the Top 5 Kansas shots of the
year. These shots were picked
because they were either crucial
or fat out impressive.
5. Playing for a share of the
Big 12 regular season title at
Kansas State, Kansas went into
the half up by 15 points, thanks
to a Brandon Rush banked-in,
buzzer-beating three-point shot.
Until then, the freshman guard
had fve points. That shot might
have been what propelled Rush
to 16 points in the second half.
The Wildcats got within three
points, but never caught up.
4. In the frst round of the Big
12 Tournament, senior guard
Jeff Hawkins rebounded a shot
Oklahoma State missed with
a little more than four seconds
left on the clock, then took the
ball the length of the court and
made a layup. His basket made
the difference, as the Jayhawks
won by a single point.
That particular basket was
more important than all the oth-
ers in the game because Oklaho-
ma State had the opportunity to
run out the clock at the end of
the half. The Cowboys shot too
soon, giving Hawkins an oppor-
tunity to score.
3. This next shot was the most
impressive of the year not by a
Kansas basketball player. At the
Texas Tech game in Lawrence,
George Regan, Shawnee junior,
tried to have a little fun during a
television time-out, so he decid-
ed to make a paper airplane out
of a three-point poster handed
out before the game.
From the last row of the stu-
dent section behind Kansas
bench, Regan folded it, lined
it up and tossed it with perfect
form. The airplane slowly glided
above the student section toward
the baseline. It took a dramatic
turn to the left, heading behind
the basket, hitting the head of
an innocent bystander. As the
students around him laughed,
Regan jumped up and down in
celebration.
Ill never throw another, be-
cause that was the greatest paper
airplane of all time and I want to
go out on top, Regan said.
2. During the Texas game for
the Big 12 Tournament title, Kan-
sas had a number of great shots.
The one that sticks out the most
in my mind is freshman forward
Julian Wrights steal, fast break
and dunk with a little less than
six minutes left in the game. At
the time, Kansas was up by two
points, but Wrights amazing
play gave all the momentum to
Kansas, which went on to win
the game by 12 points.
1. The No. 1 shot of the
year was freshman guard Ma-
rio Chalmers game-winning
foater with 20 seconds remain-
ing to take a 59-58 lead against
Oklahoma. That shot, on Feb.
5, completed Kansas 16-point
comeback. It gave Kansas its
frst victory against a ranked op-
ponent and established the Jay-
hawks as contenders for the Big
12 regular season title.
After all this reminiscing,
if you still dont feel better, re-
member college basketball starts
a mere eight months from now.

The Kansas tennis team will end
the regular season with six matches
and the Big 12 Tournament later
this month. It will also mark the
end of a KU collegiate tennis career
for senior Christine Skoda.
Skoda, an Edmonton, Alber-
ta, Canada, native, is the only
senior on the Kansas roster. She
is also one of three upperclass-
men on the teams roster of nine
players and is the only upper-
classman with a starting spot.
Skoda is having one of her
best seasons since arriving at
Kansas from Canada four years
ago. Currently, she has a singles
record of 10-7.
Skoda said she hoped the team
looked up to her not only for se-
nior leadership, but because she
knew what it was like to be from
outside the United States and
play tennis at Kansas. Five of
nine tennis players on the roster
are from outside of the country.
With these girls coming from
different countries, I know what
they are talking about and what
they are feeling even though I
am from Canada, Skoda said.
Its a lot further than an hour
away, and I think they can relate
to me that way.
Kansas coach Amy Hall-Holt
said she has noticed the players
on the team looked at Skoda as
a leader.
During spring break, Kansas
played host to Saint Louis and
UMKC. Skoda was moved up to
the No. 2 spot on the team, her
highest since the spring of 2005
when she spent time at both
the No. 1 and No. 2 spots. She
won both of her matches to help
Kansas sweep both teams by a
score of 7-0.
Skoda also had a notable vic-
tory when Kansas faced No. 72
Tulsa.
Kansas lost the doubles point
and needed to win at least four
singles matches to defeat Tulsa.
Skodas match went into the
third set she won. It ultimate-
ly helped Kansas win the match
by a score of 4-3.
Skoda said her decision to
play tennis in Lawrence came
from the heavy recruitment that
Kansas showed her.
The coaches were recruiting
me, Skoda said. I was looking
at a couple of schools here and I
liked KU the best.
The Kansas tennis team has
changed since Skoda arrived in
Lawrence in the fall of 2002.
Hall-Holt was hired as coach
in 2003. Skoda witnessed the
coaching change and said the
team camaraderie has been the
same ever since.
All four years the team has
been awesome, Skoda said.
We have all gotten along and
that has been important to hav-
ing a good team on the court.
Skoda said her major was
sports management. When she
graduates she will make plans
to attend graduate school.
Skoda will make her last trip
to Lincoln, Neb., as a member
of the Kansas tennis team on
Wednesday at 2 p.m. when Kan-
sas will face Nebraska.

Gators nab national crown
Florida outduels UCLA defense
to win first ever championship
By EddiE PElls
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
INDIANAPOLIS Game,
set, match and a champion-
ship, too for Joakim Noah
and the Florida Gators.
The tennis stars son domi-
nated UCLA with 16 points,
nine rebounds and a record six
blocks Monday night to key a
73-57 blowout for Floridas frst
national title in basketball.
The championship for Billy
Donovans team comes 10 years
after Steve Spurrier led the Ga-
tors to a title in that other
sport. Spurrier is long gone, and
the days of Florida being only
a football school appear to be,
too.
For 40 lopsided minutes, the
Gators (33-6) were too big, too
long and too quick for UCLA,
which came up a win short of
its 12th national title on a night
when legendary coach John
Wooden watched from a hospi-
tal bed in LA after being admit-
ted for an undisclosed illness
that was said not to be serious.
Florida and Noah won by
putting on a thorough display
of versatility and unselfshness,
a trademark of this team all sea-
son.
The Bruins (32-7) were on a
defensive tear coming into the
championship game, shutting
down LSUs Glen Davis in the
semifnals and allowing a to-
tal of 90 points in the last two
games. Florida, though, was just
too much to handle.
Noah capped it off with a
monster dunk with 1:09 left.
When the buzzer sounded, he
laid fat on his back at halfcourt
and let the confetti rain on him.
His teammates were in a pile a
few feet away and Donovan was
sharing hugs with his longtime
assistant Anthony Grant.
The Gators won this by tak-
ing it right to UCLA early, look-
ing to Noah, Corey Brewer and
senior Adrian Moss down low,
making the extra pass in the key
and fnishing with 21 assists, 10
of them from their frontcourt
It couldnt have been what
Ben Howlands team expected
had he scouted Floridas 73-58
win over George Mason in the
semis, a game the Gators won
from outside and that guard Lee
Humphrey ended early in the
second with three straight 3s.
The scrappy Humphrey, a ju-
nior from Maryville, Tenn., and
the only non-sophomore in the
Gators starting fve, did the
honors again, spotting up for
open looks against a collapsing
defense early in the second half.
But there was no strategy to
stop Noah. The 6-foot-11 son
of tennis star Yannick Noah
dunked, swatted shots and
dominated the game, much like
his dad did in his magical run to
the French Open title in 1983.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Ken-
ny Rogers helped get Jim Ley-
land a win in his frst game as
the Detroit Tigers manager.
Rogers combined with two
relievers on a four-hitter, Chris
Shelton homered twice and the
Tigers began the season with a
3-1 victory over the Kansas City
Royals on Monday.
Carlos Guillen also homered
for the Tigers, and Fernando
Rodney got the save in his frst
game as closer in place of in-
jured Todd Jones.
Leyland, who replaced Alan
Trammell after last season, man-
aged in the major leagues for the
frst time since he quit the Colo-
rado Rockies in 1999.
Leyland started his profes-
sional baseball career in 1964 as
a minor league catcher for the
Tigers.
Rogers left Texas after a
stormy season in which he was
suspended for 13 games after
shoving two television camera-
men.
The 41-year-old left-hand-
er gave up one run and three
hits in six innings, struck out
fve and walked none in his
frst opening-day victory since
2000.
He faced the minimum nine
batters through the frst three
innings, with a double play
wiping out Angel Berroas
third-inning infeld single. Rog-
ers gave up a tying, two-out RBI
single to Reggie Sanders in the
fourth.
Joel Zumaya made his major
league debut when he relieved
Rogers to start the seventh, giv-
ing up a leadoff walk and Doug
Mientkiewiczs two-out single,
but he escaped when he got
Berroa to ground into a force-
out.
Rodney worked a hitless
ninth for his 13th career save.
Jones, who returned to Detroit
during the offseason, aggravat-
ed a hamstring injury last week-
end and went on the disabled
list.
Shelton hit two go-ahead
solo homers off Scott Elarton,
Sheltons frst career multi-
homer game, and fnished 3-
for-4.
Only a leaping grab by sec-
ond baseman Mark Grudziel-
anek on Sheltons eighth-in-
ning liner kept him from going
4-for-4.
Sheltons drive into the left-
feld stands in the fourth put
the Tigers up 1-0, and he lined
a pitch from Elarton just above
the fence and just inside the
right-feld foul pole with two
outs in the sixth to make it 2-
1.
Guillens solo homer in the
eighth against Andrew Sisco
gave Detroit a 3-1 lead.
Elarton, Clevelands No. 5
starter a year ago, gave up two
runs and seven hits in fve 2-3
innings.

Three home

on opening day
By roB Maaddi
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHILADELPHIA By the
time Jimmy Rollins extended his
hitting streak to 37 games, only
half the crowd had stayed to see
it.
Rollins kept up his pursuit of
Joe DiMaggios major league re-
cord 56-game hitting streak with
a double in the eighth inning,
but it was the lone bright spot
for the Philadelphia Phillies in
their season opener Monday.
Albert Pujols homered twice,
Scott Rolen hit a grand slam and
the St. Louis Cardinals potent
offense pounded out 17 hits in
a 13-5 victory.
Chris Carpenter pitched five
effective innings for the win,
though he wasnt as sharp as
he was most of last season,
when he went 21-5 and won
the NL Cy Young Award. Car-
penter allowed four runs and
nine hits.
Rolen was 3-for-5 with four
RBIs, Pujols was 2-for-2 with four
RBIs and Aaron Miles had four
hits, including two doubles and
a triple. Every Cardinals starter,
including Carpenter, had a hit by
the time St. Louis completed an
eight-run fourth inning.
Pat Burrell and Ryan How-
ard homered for the Phillies,
who ended up with their worst
opening-day loss since the
Brooklyn Dodgers 12-3 victory
in 1935.
It was so ugly in Philadel-
phia that even the mascot had
a bad day. The Phillie Phanat-
ics four-wheeler briefy stalled
near the third baseline in the
sixth inning, forcing the teams
to wait a bit before starting
play.
Loser Jon Lieber picked up
where he left off in spring train-
ing, giving up eight runs and
nine hits in three 1-3 innings.
Lieber fnished 17-13 in his
frst season in Philadelphia,
and was one of the leagues best
pitchers over the fnal month
when he was 5-1 with a 2.06
ERA in his last seven starts.
But he allowed 12 runs and 19
hits in 10 innings in his last two
starts this spring, and continued

Apples
continued from 1B
I Like Apples won the game in
overtime, 61-59. Ringel stepped
up to hit the big shot that sent
his team to the championship
game in Allen Fieldhouse.
On the play, Ringels broth-
er, Jordan Ringel, Fort Worth,
Texas, junior, pulled down a
rebound and spotted Eli on
the right wing. Eli hit a three-
pointer to give his team the
lead.
As far as playing a leading
role with his older teammates,
Eli said it never created any
problems. Eli said the chemistry
with his older brother contribut-
ed greatly to the teams accom-
plishments.
Weve played with each
other before so it clicked, but
we do yell at each other a lot
and get in each others faces,
Eli said.
Despite this, the results of
both brothers playing starting
roles were positive.
They pushed each other to
play harder and made sure that
each of them were doing every-
thing necessary for the team to
succeed, said Shane Arnold,
Milwaukee sophomore and
teammate.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. On
the eve of a sales tax vote
that could decide the fate of
professional sports in Kansas
City, George Brett and Buck
ONeil sat together under
a tree and urged a crowd to
vote yes.
Radio stations ran a taped
message from NFL hall-of-famer
Marcus Allen warning that the
Chiefs could wind up in Los An-
geles if the two proposals were
not adopted.
Even Hollywood got into the
act.
Shortly before the Detroit
Tigers and Kansas City Royals
opened their season Monday
in a full, festive stadium, actor
Chris Cooper, a Kansas City na-
tive and Academy Award win-
ner, made his pitch for passage
of the taxes.
In the meantime, a loosely
organized cadre of opponents
of the three-eighths of a cent
sales tax and an accompany-
ing use tax were feeling con-
fident.
We are very encouraged that
supporters of these taxes have
been conducting polls, said
Richard Tolbert, a Democratic
politician and small-business
man. The fact they have not
announced the results of those
polls tells me their side is los-
ing.
That the vote would be close
was one thing they all agreed
on.
The sales tax would raise
$425 million over 25 years for
renovating and refurbishing
Arrowhead and Kauffman sta-
diums, which opened in 1972
and 73.
An additional $50 million
would come from the state. Roy-
als owner David Glass would
kick in $25 million, and Chiefs
owner Lamar Hunt would put
in $100 million.
An accompanying use tax
would raise an additional
$200 million for a rolling roof,
which would make both sta-
diums climate-controlled and
assure the city of the 2015 Su-
per Bowl.
Baseball has promised an
All-Star game if the stadiums
are refurbished, and mayor Kay
Barnes says she is optimistic
the NCAA would grant a Final
Four to its former host city if the
rolling roof is ftted over Arrow-
head.
