The new Park-and-Ride lot
on West Campus will create an
additional 1,500 parking spaces,
as well as extra fees for the more
than 11,000 people who use
University parking.
Beginning next fall, all park-
ing permits will cost an addi-
tional $20 to help fund the lot,
at 23rd and Iowa streets, and
the fve new buses that are being
purchased.
The buses, called Park and
Ride Express, will be free for
anyone to ride. They will run
from the new lot to campus,
with approximately 11 stops on
the route. The buses will pass by
Daisy Hill, but not stop there.
Because of the $1.3 million
price of the buses, the park-
ing department sought help
from the federal government,
which is financing 80 percent
of the purchase price. One of
the stipulations, however, was
that the buses be free to the
public.
Even though the buses are
free, students will still need a
Park-and-Ride permit to park in
the new lot. That permit comes
with a KU on Wheels bus pass,
which will still be needed to ride
the other campus buses.
The current Park-and-Ride
lot, which is at the Lied Center,
will be used for overfow resi-
dence hall parking and special
events parking.
Another change is that fresh-
men living off campus will not
be allowed to purchase a yellow
permit, which is used by most
off-campus students and allows
parking in the lots by Memorial
Stadium, the Student Fitness
and Recreation Center and Al-
len Fieldhouse. Freshmen will
instead have to purchase the
Park-and-Ride permit.
The new lot is expected to al-
leviate congestion on campus.
A study done in 2004 estimated
the University needed an extra
1,800 parking spaces to meet
demand.
In addition, the University
and the city of Lawrence will
soon conduct a joint study on
the possibility of linking the
citys T bus system with the
KU on Wheels.

Protesters gathered on Wes-
coe Beach Monday to voice
concerns about the immigration
bill being discussed in Congress.
Students walked out of class at
11:45 a.m. to join a few Law-
rence residents in the day pro-
claimed a National Day of Ac-
tion for Immigrant Justice.
Kim Coughlin, Lawrence se-
nior, helped organize the event
as a Community Action Com-
mittee member and was the frst
of nine speakers. She stood up
to speak on one of the stone
planters on Wescoe Beach un-
der a tree with a sign that read
No one is illegal. Her voice
rose as she continued.
Were asking people to take
action and stand in solitude of
undocumented people, she
said. The so-called compromise
bills are not really compromised
bills.
If you look at the language
of the bills, the people are re-
ferred to as aliens and they are
not fucking aliens. They see
with their eyes and eat with
their mouths. Theyre human
beings.
Provisions of the bill include:
Illegal immigrants who have
been in the country for at least
fve years could receive legal
status after meeting several con-
ditions, including payment of a
$2,000 fne and any back taxes,
clearing a background check
and learning English. After six
more years, they could apply for
permanent residency without
leaving the United States. They
could seek citizenship fve years
later.
Also, illegal immigrants who
have been in the country be-
tween two and fve years could
obtain a temporary work visa
after reporting to a border point
of entry. Illegal immigrants who
have been in the United States
for less than two years would
be required to leave the country
and apply for re-entry alongside
anyone else seeking to immi-
grate.
For about an hour, students
spoke out against the bill, played
drums and chanted No! No!
No one is illegal!
Beth Chronister, Topeka se-
nior, spoke about her work as
a social worker with students
at Northeast Middle School in
Kansas City, Mo., in an after-
school program. She said the bill
was de-humanizing and made
the children and her felons.
Emily Patrick, Kansas City,
Kan., sophomore, recently went
to El Salvador as part of the
SHARE Foundation to hear
peoples stories and help them
in various ways, such as holding
a funeral service because they
couldnt afford one.
In talking with some of the
younger people, I learned that
12-year-olds knew more about
U.S. government than I did,
she said.
Lawrence residents who at-
tended the rally included Gwen
Wiens, who said, Just because
someone comes from countries
with poverty doesnt mean they
should be used for proft. Its sad
that families are being divided
because of these laws. Families
cant come here.
Ronald Francisco, professor of
political science, said that issues
like this happened every 10 years.
He estimated that normally about
1 percent of the population felt
strongly enough about a particu-
lar issue to take part in a physi-
cal demonstration, but that about
5 percent of the population were
protesting this bill.

Only 12 people, fve of whom wore T-
shirts in support of Delta Force, attended
a formal debate Monday night in the
Kansas Union among the three coalitions
in this years Student Senate election.
The small turnout, however, did not stop
Ignite, Delta Force and $100 Fee Cut can-
didates from discussing the role of Student
Senate at the University of Kansas and
what changes they would make if elected.
delta Force
When asked about the conficting views
of each coalition by a panel made up of one
student and two faculty members, Delta
Force presidential candidate Studie Red
Corn and vice presidential candidate Bridg-
et Franklin said their platforms all stemmed
from activism and social responsibility.
Red Corn used the example of the coali-
tions support of the Universitys divestment
from Sudan. He also said that Delta Force
T-shirts were printed by sweatshop-free com-
panies and its fyers were on recycled paper.
What we want is change and that
means a bigger picture than just our-
selves, Red Corn said.
He said Delta Force was most interested
in issues that didnt affect just KU students.
The impact of Delta Forces platforms
would reach further than the University, he
said, while still beneftting KU groups.
Ignite
Presidential candidate Jason Boots and
vice presidential candidate Mel Horen of
Ignite answered a question about leadership
style by discussing their groups goal to be the
voice of student organizations on campus.

Tom Daschle thinks the United
States needs to make use of its peo-
ple and resources to leave a better
country for the next generations,
a tradition past generations have
kept throughout U.S. history.
The question is, how do we
build an American as good and
strong as its people? Daschle
said.
The former U.S. Senate Ma-
jority Leader and Democrat
gave the annual Dole Lecture to
a full Lied Center at 8 p.m. Mon-
day. He discussed issues ranging
from a need for better education
and health care to the need for
energy independence.
He said today the U.S. gov-
ernment needed to provide good
education and health care for its
people. With that, the American
people can accomplish any-
thing, he said.
The United States fnished
37th in the World Health Orga-
nization. Daschle said the rank-
ing was unacceptable. What
would they say if we came in
37th in the Olympics? he said.
Almost 30 years ago, both the
wealthiest and poorest ffths of
the nations income doubled, he
said. More recently, the poor
have stayed the same and only
the wealthiest have grown, mak-
ing the economic growth terri-
bly lop-sided, he said.
He said the U.S. gains 65,000
new engineers a year, while
China has $6 million, and the
U.S. became, for the frst time,
a net importer of technology in
2005. All of this could change
if the government provided edu-
cation for its people. That wont
happen when the budget defcit
will possibly be lessened with
the $12.7 billion cut in Federal
Student Loans.

Freak giant hailstone
hits ground in oakland
OAKLAND, Calif. Even
the experts are having trouble
explaining why a solid block of
ice fell from the sky, crashed
and left a 3-foot hole in the
grass.
The ice fell at Bushrod Park
in Oakland when homeowner
Jacek Purat was waiting to
show apartments to prospec-
tive renters Saturday. No one
was injured, police said.
It was totally amazing. ... I
saw this fash, like a streak, he
said. Then I saw this explo-
sion, like a big boom. I came
over and it (the feld) was all
covered with ice.
Some were this big, Purat
said, making a head-size circle
with his hands.
Brooks and Judith Mencher
said they were standing on
their back porch when they
heard a sound like a rocket.
It kind of went whoosh!
Brooks Mencher said.
The ice block was about the
size of the hole 3 feet wide
and 2 1/2 feet deep.
The ice was pure water, so
it didnt come from a toilet
on a plane or anything like
that, said Lt. Charles Glass of
the Oakland Fire Hazardous
Materials Team.
Such incidents are not un-
common because ice can build
up on airplanes and fall as
they prepare to land, said Tony

Hirsch, an aviation expert.
The National Weather
Service said storms havent
been violent enough to hatch a
gigantic hailstone.

Wild turkey breaks
into Indiana library
SOUTH BEND, Ind. A
wild turkey shattered the calm
and a window at the St.
Joseph County Library when
it crashed through, toppling
books until a custodian cap-
tured the disoriented bird.
Ive heard of deer going
through houses, but never tur-
keys going into a library, branch
manager Judy Falzon said.
Falzon was preparing to open
the library shortly before 9 a.m.
Friday when the bird crashed in.
She and custodian Irvin Cygirt
watched as the animal hopped
around, hit stacks of books and
few onto a cabinet.
Cygirt put on leather gloves,
caught the bird, took it outside
and released it.
I picked it up and threw it
in the air, Cygirt said. It took
off. I was glad to see that; I
thought it was a goner.
Tim Cordell, a naturalist
at nearby Potato Creek State
Park, said the bird might have
been looking for females and
lost its way.
Its radar mustve been off
to be in the city in the frst
place, Cygirt said.

Baseball player cant
sue for being beaned
SAN FRANCISCO A com-
munity college baseball player
cannot sue to recover dam-
ages from the opposing school
even though he was intention-
ally beaned in the head by a
pitch, the California Supreme
Court has ruled.
Being hit by a pitch is an
inherent risk of baseball,
Justice Kathryn Mickle Werde-
gar wrote for the 6-1 majority
Thursday. It is so accepted by
custom that a pitch intention-
ally thrown at a batter has its
own terminology: brushback,
beanball, chin music.
Jose Avila, of the Rio Hondo
Roadrunners, was 19 in 2001
when he was hit in the head
during a game against the Cit-
rus Community College Owls.
Avila now has sporadic
seizures and sued the Citrus
Community College District,
alleging that it was negli-
gent for failing to control its
pitcher.
The justices reversed an
appeals court ruling that Avila
could sue for damages. The
Supreme Court and lawmakers
have historically sided against
those participating in sports in
which injury is a foreseeable
risk.
In dissent, Justice Joyce
Kennard lambasted her col-
leagues.
The majority holds that a
baseball pitcher owes no duty
to refrain from intentionally
throwing a baseball at an op-
posing players head. This is a
startling conclusion, Kennard
wrote, citing the offcial rules
of Major League Baseball,
which does not permit such
conduct.
Kan. court says dogs
warmth equals worth
KANSAS CITY, Kan. How
much could a pet dog be
worth? According to a Kansas
appeals court, the answer for
one Yorkshire terrier is about
$1,300.
The case began when Sarah
Burgess took her tiny ter-
rier Murphy for a shampoo
and a cut with a Kansas City,
Kan., groomer. Murphy came
out limping, and eventually
had surgery for a dislocated
hip. Burgress took the $1,309
veterinary bill to Shampooch
Pet Grooming, saying her dog
must have been injured there.
A Wyandotte County judge
frst ruled in her favor, ordering
the groomer to pick up the tab.
But Shampooch appealed, leav-
ing the Kansas Court of Appeals
to determine Friday the ques-
tion of a pets worth. If Burgess
bought Murphy for $175, then
why should a groomer have to
pay the full veterinary bill for a
13-year-old dog?
Burgess attorney said,
What is the value of a wet
face-licking received frst
thing in the morning? To a cat
person it is probably nothing
but to a dog owner who has
raised her friend from a puppy
it is like the MasterCard ad
priceless.

A bill that would give Kansas
Board of Regents schools mon-
ey earned from tuition interest
is now awaiting Gov. Kathleen
Sebelius signature before it can
become a law.
The legislation was received by
the governors offce Monday after-
noon, according to Megan Ingmire,
a spokeswoman for the governor.
Passed overwhelmingly by
both the Kansas House of Rep-
resentatives and Senate in late
March, the governor has 10 days
to review the bill that would give
nearly $8.5 million from interest
on tuition dollars to the Regents
schools. The University of Kan-
sas would receive $3.3 million
dollars according to fgures re-
leased by the Kansas Board of
Regents.
This would be huge for us,
said Josh Bender, Student Legis-
lative Awareness Board director
on the ramifcations of the bill
to the University.
Bender said that the Univer-
sity and the other six Regents
schools have been working on
the bill since 2001.
As it is now, when a student
writes a check for tuition, that
check is cashed in Topeka and any
interest that is accrued is put into
a general state coffer, a general
fund, said Kip Peterson, director
of government relations and com-
munications for the Kansas Board
of Regents.
Because that money is put into
a fund, that money can go to any
project in the state and not neces-
sarily back to the universities. This
bill would guarantee that money
goes back to the universities.
Although the bill has not be-
come law yet, Peterson said that
the Board of Regents agreed that
the money would be spent on
deferred maintenance projects
for the frst fve years of the bills
existence. Once that fve-year
period expires, how the money
is spent will be up to the discre-
tion of each University.
Peterson remains cautiously
optimistic that the governor will
sign the bill. He said that the Re-
gents along with student leaders
have committed a strong desire
to the governor as to how im-
portant the legislation is.

WASHINGTON Health of-
fcials said Monday that they have
ruled out the abortion pill RU-486
in one of two deaths in women
who had taken the drug. The sec-
ond remains under investigation.
The frst death was unrelated
to either abortion or use of the
pill, the Food and Drug Ad-
ministration said. The second
woman showed symptoms of
infection. Four other women
have died of a rare but deadly
infection after undergoing pill-
triggered abortions.
In those four deaths, all occur-
ring in California, the women tested
positive for Clostridium sordellii, a
common but rarely fatal bacterium.
The FDA has warned doctors
to watch for infection by the bug.
However, the drug, also called
Mifeprex or mifepristone, has not
been proved to be the cause in any
of those cases, the FDA has said.
The recent deaths sparked re-
newed calls to ban the abortion
pill.
Republican Sens. Jim DeMint
of South Carolina and Tom Co-
burn of Oklahoma, urged legis-
lation to be passed that would
suspend sales of RU-486 after
the latest deaths were made
public in March. The two leg-
islators want the Government
Accountability Offce to review
how the FDA approved the
pill.

Rally
continued from page 1a
There is more mobilization
this time than Ive ever seen, so
the bills are surprising to me in
that aspect, he said.
Francisco was not surprised
a walkout rally occurred on
campus. Demonstrations
drew thousands of protesters
Sunday in New Mexico, Min-
nesota, Michigan, Alabama,
Utah, Oregon and California
and thousands more people
protested Monday in Wash-
ington, D.C., and throughout
the nation.
Rallies continued in local ar-
eas Monday. There was one in
the afternoon in Kansas City,
Mo., and one in downtown
Lawrence Monday night, in
which protestors marched from
St. John the Evangelist Church,
1234 Kentucky St., to the front
of the Douglas County Court-
house, 111 11th St. Coughlin
estimated that 300 people at-
tended the rally.

When you see a KU on
Wheels bus going down the
same road as a T bus, it makes
you think theres a better way to
do it, said Donna Hultine, di-
rector of parking services.
The two systems are currently
not connected, and a pass to
ride one bus system is not valid
on the other.
Hultine said the ultimate goal
was to have a bus system that
provided transportation across
the entire city of Lawrence.
It would be really cool if ul-
timately you could plan a ride
from your home to campus and
never think about using your
car, she said. So we may get
to a point where parking spaces
are not as important.
The lot is scheduled to open
in August, and the buses will
start rolling in the days before
the fall semester begins.

LOS ANGELES ABC will
offer four prime-time shows,
including Desperate House-
wives and Lost, on its Web
site for free for two months be-
ginning in May as it continues
to expand the ways consumers
can watch TV online.
The shows will include adver-
tising that cannot be skipped over
during viewing. ABC, which is
owned by The Walt Disney Co.,
already offers ad-free episodes
for $1.99 each on Apple Com-
puter Inc.s iTunes store.
The offerings on the ABC.
com Web site will also include
current episodes of Command-
er in Chief, as well as the en-
tire season of Alias, and will
be available through June. New
episodes will be available online
the day after they run on ABC.
The shows will be supported by
advertisers, including AT&T Inc.,
Ford Motor Co., Procter & Gam-
ble Co., Toyota Motor Corp. and
Unilever PLC, among others.
The experiment comes as net-
works try to reach viewers who
watch less TV in prime-time
and are embracing technology
that lets them watch shows on
computers and portable devices,
such as an iPod.
Its an opportunity for us
to learn more about a different
model, Anne Sweeney, presi-
dent of Disney-ABC Television
Group, said in a panel discussion
Monday at the cable industrys
annual convention in Atlanta.
None of us can live in a world
of just one business model. This
is about the consumer and how
the consumers use all this new
technology. Its consumer frst,
business model second.
ABC was the frst network
to sell TV episodes online.
Since then, others, including
NBC, CBS and several cable
networks, have offered shows
on iTunes, their own Web sites
and on Google Inc.s new video
store. Time Warner Inc.s AOL
recently launched in2TV, which
streams episodes of classic TV
shows with ads.
ABC is working with adver-
tisers to try new, interactive ads
that will appear in the shows
and will also offer sponsorships.
Viewers will be able to pause
the shows and skip to various
chapters, but will not be able
to fast forward through the ads.
Sweeney said that ABC would
be cautious about other distribu-
tion deals, being careful to safe-
guard against piracy, ensure reli-
ability of the technology, and make
sure any deals are compatible with
ABC brands. Whether such ven-
tures are supported by marketing
is also a concern, she said.
Sweeney said ABC had al-
ready rejected several other
deals for possible distribution of
TV shows, but she declined to
say which ones.

WASHINGTON College
graduates are focking to Amer-
icas big cities, chasing jobs and
culture and driving up home
prices.
Though many of the largest
cities have lost population in
the past three decades, nearly
all added college graduates, an
analysis by The Associated Press
found.
The fndings offer hope for ur-
ban areas, many of which have
spent decades struggling with f-
nancial problems, job losses and
high poverty rates.
But they spell trouble for
some cities, especially in the
Northeast and Midwest, that
have fallen behind the South
and West in attracting educated
workers.
The largest predictor of
economic well-being in cities
is the percent of college gradu-
ates, said Ned Hill, professor
of economic development at
Cleveland State University. To
do well, he said, cities must be
attractive to educated people.
Nationally, a little more than
one-fourth of people 25 and
older had at least bachelors de-
grees in 2004. Some 84 percent
had high school diplomas or the
equivalent.
By comparison, in 1970 only
a bit more than one in 10 adults
had bachelors degrees and
about half had high school di-
plomas.
Seattle was the best-educated
city in 2004 with just over half
the adults having bachelors de-
grees. Following closely were
San Francisco; Raleigh, N.C.;
Washington and Austin, Texas.
Molly Wankel, who has a
doctorate in educational ad-
ministration, said she moved
to the Washington area for a
job, and the culture of the city
pulled her from the suburbs.
Wankel, 51, grew up in east-
ern Tennessee and works at a
company that develops soft-
ware and training materials.
She recently bought a home in
the city.
I just enjoy walking around
looking at the architecture and
the way people have renovated
these 100-year-old homes,
Wankel said. I love the land-
scaping and the lovely mix of
many races, straight people,
gays, singles, older people,
younger people.
The AP analyzed census
data from 21 of the largest
cities from 1970 to 2004. The
AP used every-10-year census
data from 1970 to 2000, and
the Census Bureaus Ameri-
can Community Survey for
2004.
The 21 cities were chosen
because of their size and lo-
cation to provide regional
balance. The analysis was ex-
panded for 2004, the latest
year for data, to include all
70 cities with populations of
250,000 or more.
While most states in the
Northeast have high percent-
ages of college graduates, their
big cities do not.
Massachusetts, Connecti-
cut and New Jersey were
among the top five states in
the percentage of adults with
college degrees in 2004. But
the Northeast placed no city
among the top five, and only
one from the region, Boston,
was in the top 20.

Editorial Board
endorses Ignite
This years Student Senate
election offers two coalitions
that vary markedly and one co-
alition that does not even want
your vote.
One coalition brings a plat-
form of ideas we as students
should care about. Another
coalition brings a platform of
initiatives from which we as
students will take real, tangible
benefts. The third coalition has
just one intiative, and it looks
much bigger and better on
paper then it is in reality.
In reality, only two coali-
tions have viable campaigns
Delta Force and Ignite
and only one coalition has
a platform that gives students
tangible benefts Ignite.
And though neither coalitions
candidates exuded enthusiasm
in their interviews with the
Kansan, a vote for Ignite is
more likely to directly improve
your quality of life at the Uni-
versity of Kansas.
Ignites best initiative is its
effort to expand campus wire-
less access to all classrooms
and in all on-campus housing.
Not only will this be benefcial,
but it will also bring us up to
the same standards as other
universities. In order to attract
the best and the brightest stu-
dents, we must offer all of the
technological capabilities our
generation has come to expect.
Wireless Internet access is on
that list.
Additionally, Ignite has a
proposal to put more cash in
your pockets without drasti-
cally slashing student fees and
services. Ignite has proposed
to work with state legislators
to exempt textbooks from state
and local sales tax laws. If you
spend $500 a semester on text-
books, making them tax exempt
will save you almost $40. In
eight semesters, youll have
saved nearly $320. Thats much
more than a bottle of beer.
Comparing these two coali-
tions is a lot like comparing
apples and oranges. They
have wholly different priori-
ties, which makes them hard
to choose between. Ultimately,
Delta Force brings laudable
goals, but too many are unre-
alistic ideas that present little
concrete beneft to students.
When it comes right down to
it, helping students is what this
election should be about, and
the coalition that brings the
most benefts to students is the
one that deserves your vote.
In this election, that coali-
tion is Ignite.
The editorial board.
More Affordable Textbooks
l Propose a university
policy requiring professors
to declare textbooks ear-
lier to increase used book
buyback and a university
policy requiring professors
to search for the lowest
textbook prices and investi-
gate bundled products that
increase book prices
l Lobby state government
to make textbooks sales tax-
free on a state level
Tax-free textbooks could
beneft all students. With-
out the seven-and-half cent
sales tax, students could
save about $40 on $500-
worth of books. Getting the
state government to create a
duty-free book-sale system,
however, would be a diffcult
and lengthy process. This
is a good idea, but it hinges
on uncertain government
support.
Easily Accessible Financial
Aid
l Implement software
that allows students to input
their student ID numbers and
receive information about all
fnancial aid that is available
to them including grants,
scholarships, work study or
any other available assets
l Increase awareness of
and expand current fnancial
aid advising available to all
students
Information about most
grants and work study op-
portunities is already avail-
able on students fnancial
aid summaries from the
University. Most depart-
ments also send scholarship
information to students or
readily provide it to people
who ask. The students most
likely to earn scholarships al-
ready know where to look for
them. With so many scholar-
ship search engines already
available, another way to
locate scholarships may be
unnecessary.
Increased Advising Resourc-
es
l Develop an interactive
ARTS form that links the
ARTS form, degree require-
ments, course descriptions
and the online timetable
l Create a physical and
online advising help desk to
give students that extra hand
in navigating their advising
resources
An extra advising desk
and a more comprehensive,
interactive ARTS form could
help improve the Universitys
four-year graduate rate. Then
again, plenty of resources
and advisors already exist for
students who take the time
to fnd them. Students who
dont take such time prob-
ably wouldnt utilize the extra
resources anyway.
Bike Lanes on Jayhawk
Boulevard
l Designate bike lanes on
Jayhawk Boulevard to make
campus safer and more envi-
ronmentally friendly
A bike lane on Jayhawk
Boulevard would displace
several faculty and handicap
parking spaces as well as
require parking department
approval. The lanes wouldnt
necessarily be safer either
because buses would con-
stantly need to cross them
to pull over at bus stops.
The stop-and-go traffc on
Jayhawk Boulevard would
limit the unimpeded travel
that bike lanes are meant to
provide. This idea is interest-
ing, but not that realistic or
benefcial.
Academic Technology Bor-
rowing
l Design, develop and
implement an academic
technology checkout center
where students can check out
laptops with needed software
packages, digital cameras,
video recorders or any other
needed technologies.
An academic technology
checkout center would give
students the freedom to work
on projects without having
to remain in the library. As
long as the program is suf-
fciently monitored unlike
some past initiatives, such as
the Y.E.L.L.O.W. bike pro-
gram this center has the
potential to provide students
with more convenient ac-
cess to a variety of technical
resources.
Redevelopment of the Stu-
dent Orgs Web Site
l Create a more visible
link for current and prospec-
tive students to fnd student
organizations in which they
are interested
l Create a resources Web
site and online registration
tool for organizations
This initiative is practical
and useful. Student senators
could easily create a new
resource Web site without
having to wait for outside
approval, like with several
other initiatives. Online regis-
tration could also increase
the number of students who
beneft from Senate funding
and resources.
Weekend Circulating Safe-
Bus
l Create a SafeBus pro-
gram that will circulate a
consistent route to popular
evening venues and living
areas on weekend nights
Like bike lanes on Jay-
hawk Boulevard, this idea
is interesting, but prob-
ably not realistic. One bus
wouldnt accommodate very
many students. People who
couldnt catch the bus during
peak demand times would
be unlikely to wait around
for an entire circuit. Further-
more, Senate just approved
increased funding for SafeR-
ide, which should improve
the system already in place.
If a weekend bus program
is going to work, it needs to
involve enough buses to give
students quick and reliable
transportation. A single Safe-
Bus wouldnt do this.
Expanding the Wireless
Campus
l Extend wireless to all
campus classrooms
l Initiate wireless in on-
campus housing
Extending wireless Inter-
net into on-campus housing
should help attract more
students to the University.
The long and short: Coalition platforms
Ignite Delta Force
Make KU a leading Univer-
sity in Sustainability
tCreate a Center for Sus-
tainability
tInstituting environmen-
tally friendly initiative, such
as the grey water system
The Sustainability Task
Force, formed by the Provost
in 2004, recently published
their report on recommen-
dations for campus that
included plans for a Center
for Sustainability. Therefore,
whether Delta Force wins or
not, this initiative will contin-
ue forth. On the other hand,
the grey water policy, which
deals with recycling storm
water and using this for land-
scape watering on campus,
will take a lot more coordi-
nation and planning. The
required logistical overhaul
to implement the grey water
system would cost $500,000.
If this change comes to
fruition the University would
save an estimated $100,000
each year afterwards. Its a
good idea but will take a lot
of effort.
Create an objective noise
ordinance
tLobby the commission
for a more objective city
ordinance
tChallenge the nuisance
house ordinance that allows
for the utilities to be shut off
for those found in violation
Currently students liv-
ing off campus can be
punished for anything
considered excessive,
unreasonable or unusually
loud noise. Delta Force
would like to more nar-
rowly define acceptable
decibel levels, designated
quiet hours and other real-
istic regulations. This is the
most realistic and feasible
platform by means of lob-
bying the city commission.
Reform Sexual Assault Policy
tClarify current rules re-
garding specifc consequenc-
es for certain types of sexual
assault so that each case is
treated justly and the safety
of all attending the University
is ensured
This platform superf-
cially addresses a non-issue
with little regard for the
Universitys discretion in
these matters. Even how
Delta Force presents this
topic as if it were a ram-
pant problem here that has
left many victims further
traumatized serves to
promote excessive fear and
concern. Yes, sexual harass-
ment and sexual assault
are serious issues that need
to be dealt with in a seri-
ous and forthright manner
but the University does not
have an extensive history of
not living up to this stan-
dard. Furthermore, any-
time the ability the decide
punishment is limited, the
legitimacy of the process is
detracted.
Institute Electronic Privacy
tEstablishing a defnite
policy of how Web sites, such
as Facebook and MySpace,
can be used in regards to
student discipline and Uni-
versity employment.
We appreciate Delta
Forces desire for the Uni-
versity to be accountable
for the unethical practice of
punishing students based
on what they post online.
Nonetheless, students are
ultimately the ones to make
the decision on what kind
of information they present
about themselves in the pub-
lic forum of the Internet. This
initiative seems to blow this
problem out of proportion
but has a noble intent.
Create Student Friendly
Libraries
tIncrease amount of
quiet study areas
tCreate rest and relax-
ation rooms where students
can sleep
Increasing the amount
of study areas is fne but
creating sleeping rooms is
less practical and not well
planned. Delta Force does
not know where these rooms
would be. Then there also
is the concern of the safety
of the rooms. Their solution
was to have students show
student ids to enter. This is
cumbersome and does not
guard against theft or pre-
vent students from partak-
ing in activities other than
sleeping.
Increase Student Created
Media and Publications
tWant more student-cre-
ated media projects including
zines, flm and music
tMore opportunities and
resources to get academic
works published
This is a good idea to
promote greater student
expression. Right now a
group must be established
for about one and a half
semesters before they would
receive funding. In addition,
the student media board
does not allow for a pub-
lication to be mainly Web-
based, which is the direction
publications publication
are going. In short, student
media regulations does need
overhauling.
Divest from Sudan
tWork to see that KU
takes an active stance against
genocide and withdraws all
investments from companies

Sudanese government
The term high-falutin
rhetoric comes to mind
when discussing this issue.
What companies would be
included and how do we
defne what business deals
with Sudan? What would the
University do when the con-
fict is over? How does this
affect students directly? This
issue is an excellent social
issue but not appropriate for
a platform issue.

tract negotiations

often neglected. They have

Debate
Boots said that the coalition
visited with more than 100 stu-
dent organizations when form-
ing and creating platforms. He
said that if elected he planned to
help the student body become
better informed about Student
Senate, which in turn could
make students more interested.
We are a new coalition and
we are changing with the tides
of the University, Boots said.
As we continue to develop as a
coalition we need to change.
Boots said that all of his
coalitions ideas and platforms
would directly affect students.
He said that Ignite wanted as
much student feedback as pos-
sible so that the issues students
were interested in would be the
ones addressed.
$100 Fee Cut
The $100 Fee Cut coalition
opened by announcing that the
group wanted to be elected to Sen-
ate even though at the informal de-
bate Wednesday presidential candi-
date Dennis Chanay told audience
members not to vote for him.
After that debate Chanay
and vice presidential candidate
Johnathan Wilson received an
e-mail from the elections com-
missioner asking that only can-
didates seeking election show
up to Mondays debate.
Chanay and Wilson said they
would run on the platforms of cre-
ating stricter spending regulations
for Senate and reforming the elec-
tion process to end censorship.
In the closing statements the
coalition withdrew itself as a
coalition actively seeking offce
because the real issue it wanted
students to focus on was the ref-
erendum to cut $46 a semester
from required campus fees.
Chanay said that it was time
for Senate to make a change. He
said that until now that had not
happened and that the referen-
dum he supported was the place
to start.
Programs continue to pile up
while Senate has become a crutch
for some organizations, he said.
Chanay said it was time to
give students knowledge to
make informed votes rather
than handing them buttons, T-
shirts and fyers.
Election polls will be open
today and Wednesday. Stu-
dents can vote either online at
election.ku.edu or at the physi-
cal polling sites at Mrs. Es and
Wescoe Beach.

Daschle
He advocated further re-
search and expansion of alter-
native energy sources so that
they could be readily available
for the American people. He
stressed the importance of etha-
nol fuel as well as solar energy,
wind power and gasifed coal as
the countrys future energy pro-
viders.
With nearly half of the United
States oil coming from the Mid-
dle East, energy independence
becomes a national security is-
sue, he said.
Daschle himself bought a
vehicle that ran on 85 percent
ethanol fuel, but soon realized
that there were no pumps to fll
up his gas tank. Even in Califor-
nia, he said four ethanol pumps
exist and three were for govern-
ment use only. He stressed that
progress could not be made by
individuals until the govern-
ment stepped up and provided
the means.
Daschle called to the youth
to work toward a better future
where America could lead the
world by aiding it and setting a
good example rather than the
example set by military power.
He pointed out that at the age
of 26, Martin Luther King, Jr.
organized the Montgomery Bus
Boycott, at the age of 32, Thom-
as Jefferson drafted the Declara-
tion of Independence, an at 21,
Bill Gates started Microsoft.
Daschle also praised the pa-
triotism and leadership of Bob
Dole and shared his own expe-
riences with him. After Daschle
lost his South Dakota U.S. Sen-
ate seat to a challenger, Dole in-
vited him to work with him at a
law frm in Washington, D.C.
The two friends travelled to
Europe, where Dole was wel-
comed by Europeans as one of
the soldiers who risked his own
life to liberate those he didnt
know. He said this was an in-
valuable part of the American
ideal.
Amanda Davis, Aberdeen,
S.D., freshman, said she was
glad that Daschle was still a
strong proponent of education
as well.
Ive always really enjoyed
Tom Daschle. I did vote for
him, Amanda Davis, Aberdeen,
South Dakota, freshman, said,
I liked that he was still very op-
timistic.

When asked to list the positives he saw from his
team during an all-around poor showing in Cary,
N.C., last week, Ross Randall couldnt fnd many.
But the Kansas coach didnt hesitate to mention
one incredible sight he bore witness to.
The last hole is a 415-yard dogleg to the
right over a big, huge lake, and Gary Woodland
knocked his tee shot on the green, Randall said.
After pausing for emphasis, Randall added,
On the fy.
Judging by the disbelief and near giddiness Ran-
dall spoke with, it is not every day that a golfer
like Woodland comes along.
Randall has guided a strong Kansas mens golf
program for nearly three decades and has coached
more than a few great golfers, such as PGA golfer
Matt Gogel. Randall said he was impressed by
Woodlands potential.
Weve had some good players, but Gary has
the strongest potential, Randall said.
Woodland, a junior from Topeka, brings a com-
petitive fre to the course every time he steps onto
the green. His desire to win was crafted not only
through practice at the driving range, but also
from his experience on the basketball court.
After graduating from Shawnee Heights High
School, where he played golf and basketball for
four years, Woodland received a scholarship from
Washburn University to play basketball. Soon af-
ter, Woodland left the hardwood in favor of his 3-
wood, and has since frmly planted himself among
the best in the history of Kansas mens golf.
Woodland won the Cleveland State Invitation-
al in September, fring rounds of 67, 66 and 69 to
win the tournament. He also won the 95th Kansas
Amateur Match Play Championship in July.
I know as long as I get myself in conten-
tion, Im always 100 percent positive I can come
through and win, Woodland said.
Woodlands success can also be attributed to
an extraordinary work ethic and to the countless
hours spent honing his game. Woodland said he
traveled to Dallas several times each month to
visit a swing specialist. He said he also met with a
sports psychologist on a regular basis.
Many days, Woodland wakes up for a 6 a.m. work-
out, attends classes all morning, and hits the course
for an afternoon of drives, putts and approach shots.
The intense devotion and ambition Woodland
dedicates to his craft goes far above and beyond
the practice habits of most student athletes.
When asked about his future in golf, Woodland
showed his optimism.
I have high goals and high expectations, and I
really think the sky is the limit, Woodland said.
Randall said Woodland had the talent and drive
to take his career in golf as far as he wanted.
He needs to work on a couple more things,
but hes very, very talented, and people around the
country know who he is, Randall said.

Kansas is on a mission to do
what it hasnt done in 11 years
make it to the NCAA tournament.
The day-to-day goals of the team
seem to take precedence over the
big picture of making the tourna-
ment, though.
This will be the case for tonight
and Wednesday nights match-up
against North Dakota State (2-24).
First pitch is set for 6 tonight at Ho-
glund Ballpark.
Despite the Jayhawks dismal
record, Kansas coach Ritch Price
said he knew the importance of
each game and how instrumental
this series would be for the little
picture and the big picture.
Right now were in the NCAA
tournament, Price said. We
have to continue to win weekday
games to make it as well.
Kansas (23-13, 6-6) is doing
what needs to be done, win-
ning its past two Big 12 Confer-
ence series against Missouri and
Texas Tech, while also jumping
to .500 in conference play. That
6-6 conference start is the best
the Jayhawks have put together
since their 7-5 start in 1997.
The North Dakota State se-
ries will be the last of a fve-game
homestand for Kansas, which
has played seven of its past eight
games at home.
The Bison cannot say the
same. Their trip to Lawrence will
mark the end of a 28-game road
trip. They have not played a sin-
gle game at home this season.
Although only a member of the
Division I Independent league,
North Dakota State coach Mitch
McLeod has not set up an easy road
for his team. Wichita State, Kan-
sas State, Kentucky and Northern
Iowa, among others, have all swept
North Dakota State this season.
Regardless of the team, Kan-
sas ballplayers said they viewed
the opposing players all the
same. Weve got to come to the
ballpark everyday with the same
mentality, sophomore outfeld-
er John Allman said.

Shroyer writes a story every Tuesday about the

With its series victory against Texas Tech last
weekend, Kansas got back to .500 in the Big 12 at
6-6. Kansas is in a tie with Missouri for the ffth spot
in the conference, but holds the tiebreaker over the
Tigers. The Jayhawks went 2-2 for the week and
dropped out of the Baseball America poll.
Sophomore outfelder John Allman dominated
Texas Tech pitching, going 5-for-10 with fve RBI.
Senior closer Don Czyz had the biggest series of
any Jayhawk. Czyz broke the Big 12 career appear-
ance record and the Kansas single-season saves re-
cord. Czyz and the rest of the Kansas bullpen allowed
only two runs on 11 hits and one walk in 11 innings.
The bullpen struck out 12 Texas Tech batters.
Kansas will stay busy this week with a pair of
midweek games against North Dakota State at Ho-
glund Ballpark. Then Kansas will travel to Stillwa-
ter, Okla., to face Oklahoma State for a three-game
set. If the Jayhawks take the series, it will be their
third straight Big 12 series victory a feat Kansas
has never accomplished in the Big 12.

The annual spring football
scrimmage is only three days
away, and this years scrim-
mage could prove to have more
fan interest than any other in
Kansas football history. And
why not?
Coming off its most success-
ful season and frst bowl victory
since 1995, the Kansas football
program is only looking up
these days. But questions still
remain, and KU fans will catch
glimpses of their answers at 7
Friday night.
The main question everyone
is trying to fgure out: Who will
start at quarterback next sea-
son? Redshirt freshman Kerry
Meier has been the name most
often mentioned for the job, but
almost every KU fan has yet to
see him play a single snap.
Incoming freshman Todd
Reesing will challenge for the
starting spot as well. Reesing
would still be in high school,
but he graduated early to come
to Kansas this semester and
practice with the team.
Meier, listed at 6 feet 3
inches, has a four-inch advan-
tage over Reesing, but Reesing
is known for playing far above
his stature. Not everything will
be revealed, but well at least
get to see a small amount of
what both are capable of, and
hopefully walk away know-
ing that the offense is in good
hands with either one taking
the snaps.
Another question mark
will be on the KU defense, the
most important aspect of the
2005 campaign. Seven starters
graduated, including all three
starting linebackers, who were
the backbone of the defense. In
addition to those seven, backup
sack man Brandon Perkins
graduated, former cornerback
Charles Gordon decided to enter
his name into the NFL draft and
would-be senior Rodney Harris
will probably never play football
again because of a back injury
he suffered earlier this semester.
That leaves sophomore Aqib
Talib as the only returning starter.
KU fans now have to put
their faith into Kansas coach
Mark Manginos recruiting. The
new defense is younger and
will probably make a lot more
mistakes than the near-perfect
play of last years squad, but it
might be more talented. Fridays
scrimmage should show us
something, good or bad, about
the KU defense.
Even though the game might
just be a tease for whats to
come, its still a good reason to
start getting excited for the next
season of KU football.

The AssociATed Press
ST. LOUIS Apparently,
the new Busch Stadium is both
a hitters and pitchers park. At
least for Mark Mulder it is.
The Cardinals left-hander
threw eight strong innings and
hit his first career home run
to help the St. Louis beat the
Milwaukee Brewers 6-4 Mon-
day in the first major league
game at the $365 million ball-
park.
Scott Rolens two-run double
in the fourth off Tomo Ohka (0-
1) gave the Cardinals the lead
for good and Albert Pujols hit
his fourth homer, a drive to the
left-center power alley estimated
at 445 feet.
The day began on a festive
note, with Pujols and Chris
Carpenter, the NL MVP and Cy
Young Award winners, throw-
ing out dual ceremonial frst
pitches to retired Cardinals
greats Willie McGee and Bob
Gibson. It stayed festive most
of the day for a sellout crowd
of 41,936.
Bill Halls two-run homer in
the second was the only dam-
age off Mulder (1-0). Hall was
3-for-4 with a pair of doubles for
Milwaukee, which has lost two
straight after a 5-0 start that put
the Brewers in frst place in the
NL Central.
Mulder allowed seven hits
in eight innings, struck out fve
and walked one. He also was 2-
for-3 with a double on a hop off
the center feld wall and a walk
coming in he had a .119 ca-
reer average in 84 at-bats with
four RBI.
His home run, a two-drive
off Jose Capellan in the sev-
enth, put the Cardinals ahead
6-2.
Mulder also started the fnal
home opener at the old Busch
Stadium last year in addition to
pitching the fnal game at the
40-year-old park last fall in a
Game 6 NLCS loss to the Hous-
ton Astros.
After Geoff Jenkins led off
with a bloop single in the ninth,
Braden Looper came in and

St. Louis then brought in Ja-
son Isringhausen, who allowed
Michael Barretts go-ahead
grand slam in an 8-4 loss to
the Cubs at Wrigley Field on
Sunday night. Isringhausen

single and walked pinch-hit-
ter Corey Koskie before retir-
ing Gabe Gross, another pinch
hitter, on a ground out for his
third save.
Ohka gave up four runs, six
hits and four walks in four in-
nings.
After the Cardinals left
the bases loaded in the first
and stranded two in the sec-
ond, Pujols homered leading
off the third and Yadier Mo-
lina hit a sacrifice fly later in
the inning. Rolens go-ahead
homer gave him a team-high
nine RBI he had a ca-
reer-low 28 last year, when a
shoulder injury limited him to
56 games.
Notes Lee singled in the
second, the 14th time he reached
base in 26 plate appearances.
But he was hitless the rest of the
way, fnishing 1-for-4 with a pair
of double-plays.

Bomb squad called in
for unattended bag
AUGUSTA, Ga. Part of an
airport terminal was evacuated
for about two hours Monday
and a bomb squad was called
in after an unattended bag was
spotted as fans and players
from the Masters Golf Tourna-
ment headed out of town.
The baggage area inside the
terminal at Augusta Regional
Airport was cordoned off and
passengers were evacuated
from the area after an airport
employee identifed a suspi-
cious bag on the sidewalk
outside about 8 a.m., said
Christopher White, a spokes-
man for the Transportation
Security Administration.
The bag was considered
suspicious because it was un-
attended, though authorities
didnt immediately know what
it contained, White said. No
further details were released.
The bag was removed and
normal airport operations
resumed about 10:20 a.m.,
White said.
Some commercial fights
were delayed for more than
two hours because passen-
gers were delayed in board-
ing; airport spokeswoman
Diane Johnston did not know
how many.

Both Kansas basketball teams had their
ups and downs this season. The mens team
went from as high as winning the Big 12
Tournament in Dallas to as low as exiting in
the frst round of the NCAA tournament for
the second consecutive year. The womens
team started a school-record 12-0, but fal-
tered once Big 12 Conference play began.
In this Special Section, The University
Daily Kansan mens basketball reporter
Ryan Colaianni refects on the team in his
Season in Review article. Kansas started
three freshmen and two sophomores at the
end of this season, pointing to high expec-
tations for next season. The Kansan takes a
look at what that team could look like in our
Predictions story.
Kansas womens basketball reporter
Michael Phillips looks back on the teams

Seasn in Review
Kansas struggled, triumphed during uncertain season
T
he 2005-2006 season was one of the
most tumultuous in recent years for
the Kansas mens basketball team.
Kansas came into the NCAA tour-
nament winners of 22 of its last 25
games and Big 12 Tournament champions. For the
second straight year, the team fell out of the frst
round of the tournament. This year, Kansas fell to
Bradley.
The young Jayhawks were unable to rebound
from a 10-point halftime defcit, playing catch up
the entire second half. The Braves defeated the Jay-
hawks, 77-73, in Auburn Hills, Mich.
The loss came after Kansas most impressive
stretch of victories. Kansas won three straight
games in the Big 12 Tournament, including a Big
12 Championship victory against Texas.
It was no surprise that Kansas struggled early
in the season, but the team was below .500 mid-
way through December and dropped back-to-back
games to Kansas State and Missouri. Basketball
panic nearly spread through Lawrence.

Season
numbers
by the
By Michael PhilliPs
Kansan staff writer
Womens basketball coach
Bonnie Henricksons second
season will mostly be remem-
bered for the Jayhawks frst
postseason appearance in six
years.
The Jayhawks defeated
Northern Iowa in the WNIT be-
fore falling to Mississippi. Both
games were at Allen Fieldhouse.
The WNIT provided a way for
the Kansas senior class to leave
on a positive note, after starting
the year strong and faltering in
conference play.
The Jayhawks charged out
to a 12-0 start. Most of those
victories were against smaller
schools, and all of them came
in Allen Fieldhouse. The games
provided early-season momen-
tum and helped Kansas gain na-
tional attention.
The fnal victory of the 12
was against then-No. 23 Texas
in Allen Fieldhouse. It was
the Jayhawks frst conference
game, as well as their frst game
against a ranked team, but they
dispatched Texas with relative
ease, winning the game 70-61 in
front of a season-high crowd of
5,634.
Also during the winning streak
Kansas picked up a victory
against Wisconsin, the Jayhawks
frst of the season against a team
froma major conference.
Senior forward Crystal Kemp
called the game the best of the
season because of the way the
game was won. Kansas was
down 17 before coming back
and winning the game in dou-
ble-overtime. As the conference
season started, the Jayhawks
began to slump, which was ac-
centuated by their inability to
win on the road. It took until
Feb. 18 for the team to pick up a
victory on the road, a 57-56 vic-
tory against Iowa State in Ames,
Iowa. The Jayhawks were also
unable to shake off what became
a 10-game losing streak to the
Kansas State Wildcats, falling
short in all three opportunities,
including a neutral-court game
to open the Big 12 Tournament.
Despite the late-season set-
backs, the Jayhawks were still
able to fnish with a 16-12 re-
cord, good enough to be select-
ed for the WNIT.
After winning in the prelimi-
nary round and losing in the frst
round, the Jayhawks fnished at
17-13, picking up the most vic-
tories by a Kansas womens bas-
ketball team in this decade.
From hot to cold to WNIt
Tournament capped off season that saw 12-0 Kansas start, major Big 12 slump
JulIAN WRIGHT,
sophomore forward,
Chicago Heights, Ill.
nAveraged 8.5 points per game.
nAveraged 4.6 rebounds per game.
nTotaled 60 assists.
Wright was the big man that performed on the
foor last season. Whether he was throwing down
highlight-reel dunks or fnding an open team-
mate near the basket, Wright was the most
exciting player on the foor. He will need to use
the off-season to bulk up so that he will be better
prepared to face stronger post players in the Big
12.

MARIO CHAlMERS,
sophomore guard,
Anchorage, Alaska
nWas second on the team in assists with 127 and led
the team in steals with 89.
nNamed to the all-defensive team as a freshman.
nAveraged 11.5 points per game, good for second
most on the team.
Chalmers was rattled early in the season, turning the
ball over often. He moved to the shooting guard position,
which helped Chalmers ease his turnover woes. Chalmers
shouldered a larger portion of the offensive load once Big
12 Conference play began. He was the Big 12 Tournaments
most outstanding player.

BRANDON RuSH,
sophomore guard,
Kansas City, Mo.
nLeader in points per game with 13.5.
nStarted all 33 games.
nShot 47.2 percent from three-point range.
nLed the team in rebounds per game.
After the Bradley loss, Rush said he would return to Law-
rence for his sophomore season. He will be expected to lead
the team in scoring again. Rush struggled to score as the
season progressed. As a result, his scoring average dropped
from above 15 points per game to 13.5.

RuSSEll ROBINSON,
junior guard,
New York, N.Y.
nDished out a team-high 152 assists last
season.
nMoved to the point guard position from the
shooting guard position halfway through
the season.
Robinson was the player that drove
the Jayhawks last season. He did
it with his stellar defensive ability,
being named to the all-defensive
team, and played unselfshly,
leading the team in assists. Rob-
inson will likely be challenged by
incoming freshman Sherron Col-
lins for the point guard position.
SASHA KAuN,
junior center,
Melbourne, Fla.
nStarted 29 of the teams 33 games.
nAveraged 5.3 rebounds per game.
Kaun sawhis offensive production improve last sea-
son. He split time with fellowcenter CJ Giles. Kaun
will need another strong off-season of workouts to
continue to improve his game. Kaun and Giles had
problems with foul trouble throughout the season.
Projected reserves:
Sherron Collins, freshman guard, Chicago
Brady Morningstar, freshman guard, Lawrence
Jeremy Case, junior guard, Oklahoma City
CJ Giles, junior center, Seattle
Darnell Jackson, junior forward, Oklahoma City
Rodrick Stewart, junior guard, Seattle
Matt Kleinmann, sophomore center, Overland Park

Review
continued from page 3B
Fans began questioning
coaches and players and mes-
sage boards were flled with
doomsday talk. They wondered
if this would be the year that
Kansas would fail to make the
NCAA tournament for the frst
time since 1989.
Kansas coach Bill Self said
Kansas would be a more expe-
rienced team at the end of Janu-
ary, and a different team than it
was in December.
Fans didnt listen, though.
They wanted answers quickly.
Self said he was not con-
cerned as much with the teams
confdence as with that of the
fans. Because thats when you
start to sense how players react
and everything is determined on
how other people are perceiving
them, Self said, after his teams
two-game losing skid. We per-
ceive ourselves as a good team.
Those answers came in the
form of a victory against Ken-
tucky, a 10-game winning streak
and a share of frst place for the
Big 12 Conference regular sea-
son title.
From the get-go I thought
we were going to be real good,
freshman guard Brandon Rush
said, in the midst of the 10-game
winning streak. Everything
would start to come along and
it has, so we are proving people
wrong. They said we were going
to get killed in Big 12 play.
Kansas earned its 49th confer-
ence title to add to Lawrences
rich basketball history.
I think we are better now, we
just had a couple disappointing
losses early, but they have cer-
tainly grown up and gotten
tougher as time has passed,
Self said before the Feb. 25 road
match-up with Texas. Weve
shot the ball better because we
are taking better shots, and we
are certainly a confdent team in
the attack mode a lot more than
we were back in November and
December.
Kansas dropped that game
against Texas by 25 points, but
found itself back in frst place
four days later after Texas lost to
Texas A&M.
We really hadnt played any-
one that good, so it was a real
test, sophomore center CJ Giles
said after the Texas loss.
We are not taking it as a
down game, we are just taking it
as another learning experience
for us to build on to get to that
next level.
Kansas responded well, win-
ning nine straight games after
Downs transferred. The Feb. 5
game against Oklahoma might
have been the most important
victory of the regular season.
The Jayhawks were down 16
points with less than 10 minutes
to play against the Sooners. Kan-
sas undertook a furious rally to
win by one point in Allen Field-
house. A last-minute three-point
attempt by Oklahoma guard Mi-
chael Neal bounced off the rim. It
would have won the game.
Even though it was a narrow
victory, it was vital Kansas
had lost fve close games earlier
in the season.
Its a real big win, to fnally
get a close one, to prove some
people wrong that we can get a
win in a close game, Rush said.
Kansas must now look to the
future. Following the NCAA
tournament loss, Rush said that
he planned to return for his
sophomore season.
If he does, Kansas would re-
turn its top seven scorers and
also bring in McDonalds All-
American guard Sherron Col-
lins. Early indications are that
Kansas will be a Top 5 team
when the preseason polls are re-
leased in November.

are just taking it as a

Defense uses past against alleged rape victim
BY ALLEN G. BREED
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DURHAM, N.C. By releasing
embarrassing details about the strip-
per who claims she was raped at a
party held by Duke Universitys la-
crosse team, the players attorneys
are employing the same strategy used
successfully to defend NBA star Kobe
Bryant against rape charges: publicly
attack the accusers credibility.
This is what the defense does, is try
to smear the victim in the public and
make it impossible to get a jury, said
Eagle County, Colo., District Attorney
Mark Hurlbert, who charged Bryant.
No one has been charged in the
Duke case. The heavily anticipated
results of DNA tests on the players
were completed Monday. Prosecutors
declined to discuss the results, which
were being sent to defense attorneys.
While awaiting those results defense
attorneys have tried to portray the ac-
cuser as a liar whose story doesnt add
up.
Over the weekend, they told reporters
that photos taken at the party showed
that the woman was injured even before
she arrived and impaired. And while
answering questions about their clients
legal troubles about a third of the
current team has been charged in recent
years with public urination, underage
possession of alcohol and disorderly
conduct they have suggested that the
womans own criminal past undermines
her credibility.
They pointed to a June 2002 inci-
dent in which the alleged victim stole
the taxi of a man she was giving a lap
dance at a Durham strip club. Court
records say she led a sheriffs deputy
on a winding chase at up to 70 mph,
and tried to run him down.
She pleaded guilty to misdemeanor
counts of larceny, speeding to elude
arrest, assault on a government of-
cial and driving while impaired, and
spent some weekends in jail.
The players attorneys have also at-
tacked the womans statement to po-
lice that she and another dancer left
the party in fear after the crowd be-
came excited and aggressive, return-
ing only after one player apologized.
Wendy Murphy, a former Mas-
sachusetts prosecutor and adjunct
professor at Bostons New England
School of Law who teaches a semi-
nar on sexual violence, said releasing
details of the photos was a sign that
lawyers were worried the DNA testing
would produce a match with some of
the players.
If the DNA isnt going to match,
they wouldnt need to do this, she
said.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day Youll Have:
5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Diffcult
ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHHH
This morning, uproar and power games
surround the best-intentioned Rams. There
is nothing you can do right now but pull
back and not play the game. You could be
wondering what you need to do in order to
see a clear path.
Tonight: Defer to others.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH
Your imagination and a new-born frivolous
attitude stir up an associates ire. Proceed
with care. What might be wise is to buckle
down and get into some serious work. Think
through a problem later in the day.
Tonight: Realign your priorities.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH
You hit fak no matter which way you
turn or what you say this morning. The
good news: If you tread with care this
afternoon, you can reverse any a.m.
hassles. To your delight, others suddenly
become easier! Tonight: Act as if there is
no tomorrow.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH
Use care when approaching others, as
events could certainly take a wayward
action or motion. You might be cleaning up
the mess that develops for several days.
Try to prevent a problem before it comes to
fruition.
Tonight: Curl up at your favorite place -- home.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH
Troubles surround an emotional or fnancial
risk. You could be going ouch! for a
long time and/or explaining yourself.
Communication helps ferret out problems
this afternoon. Yes, you are very serious.
Tonight: Easy does it.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH
Good intentions often pave the way to
hell, as you discover. For all the tea in
China, you cannot satisfy a close associ-
ate. Carefully consider your options that
surround funds and security. Put on your
serious garb. Tonight: Take a hard look at
your budget.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH
If ever there was a day to get up late, it
easily could be today. The good news is, as
trying as your morning could be, your after-
noon could be just as easy or successful.
Someone you care about is oh so serious.
Tonight: As you wish.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH
Dont get any money tied up in a project.
Dont even buy a lottery ticket with your
friends. If there ever was a time to pull back
and be serious, it is now. Assume a low
profle, and you will be much happier.
Tonight: Zero in on your needs.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH
You could make a responsibility or a must
appearance a lot more difficult than it
needs to be. Know when to let others
run the show. Know when you cannot
win for losing. Right now, a lot is going
on. Pull back. Tonight: Follow a friends
suggestion.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH
If you try to get a grasp on what is going
on, you might run away. Simply stand back
and know that this too will pass -- in fact, by
late afternoon. A partner could be unusually
testy and diffcult. Take the lead.
Tonight: A force to be dealt with.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH
You might not be able to compensate
for someones outrageousness, so dont
worry about it. If you take an overview and
recharge your sense of humor, youll smile.
Others need someone who is relaxed. Why
not you?
Tonight: Rent a movie.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HH
Pull back, and dont play into the present
set of events. You might be uncomfortable
with this style or decision, but ultimately
it is a lot better. See what is going on
behind the scenes. You cannot always be
in control.
Tonight: Let someone else run the show.

SAN FRANCISCO Tim Hudson
laughed off his two rough outings to start
the season. Atlantas ace knows hes far
from the only one with an extra-high
ERA after the frst week.
I think its just stumbling out of the
box from a pitching standpoint, Hud-
son said after watching his ERA balloon
to 12.38 with a weekend loss to the San
Francisco Giants. We just have to get
some confdence back. Its just executing,
thats about it.
Hitters have had little trouble produc-
ing so far. The .270 major league batting
average in the frst week was the highest
in an opening week since the expansion
era began in 1961, the Elias Sports Bu-
reau said Monday.
Home runs in the frst week were up
10.6 percent from last year and scoring
increased 5.3 percent.
Teams hit 216 home runs last week
and the average of 2.40 per game was the
highest in the opening week since 2001s
2.49. Runs per game (10.51) reached a
level that hadnt been seen since 2000
(10.68).
It is unusual, Giants manager Felipe
Alou said. Of course you see no-hitters
early and shutouts. I dont know, maybe
something is going on.
Baseball toughened drug testing last
year, suspending frst offenders for 10
days. Home runs dropped 8 percent to
their lowest per-game average since 1997,
and some thought there was a link. This
year, frst offenders will be suspended for
50 games.
Barry Zito was on the losing end of
Oaklands 15-2 rout by the New York
Yankees on opening day in which the
left-hander lasted only one 1-3 innings
the shortest outing of his career. Zito,
tagged for seven runs, was done after 59
pitches, the frst time he failed to last two
innings.
The 15 runs were the most allowed by
the Athletics on opening day, surpassing
the 14 the Philadelphia As gave up in a
14-8 loss to the Washington Senators on
April 17, 1945.
Zito goes 1 1-3 and gives up seven
earnies and four walks thats Barry
Zito, Braves manager Bobby Cox said.
Then, on Saturday, Zito bounced back
to combine on a one-hitter in a 3-0 win
at Seattle.
Pitchers gave up 634 walks compared
to 573 last year, according to Elias. Braves
leadoff hitter Marcus Giles drew 11 free
passes and Barry Bonds had seven two
of those intentional.
You know, in spring training, you
go two, three, four, fve innings and you
almost forget what its like to go seven,
eight innings, Oakland No. 3 starter
Dan Haren said. Some pitchers in April,
their arms feel great. They are fresh com-
ing out of spring training. Me, I feel
like my command gets a lot better after
April.
The Giants went 4-2 in the frst week
without an RBI or home run from Bonds,
taking three of four from Atlanta by out-
scoring the Braves 31-29.
Weve got a winning record, so it
doesnt matter, said Bonds, who is 2-
for-12 and was looking forward to the
Giants off day Monday.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Two days before he
planned to announce his choice for college,
Florida prep star Jason Bennett was still strug-
gling to make a decision, his coach said Mon-
day.
The 7-foot-3 Bennett said earlier that he had
narrowed his decision to Auburn or Kansas State.
But Rex Morgan, Bennetts coach at Arlington
Country Day High School in Jacksonville, Fla.,
disputed reports that Kansas State had emerged
as the winner.
There has been too much speculation, Mor-
gan told The Associated Press on Monday. Some-
one told me somebody was being quoted as saying
that hes decided on Kansas State. But he hasnt
offcially committed anywhere.
Bennett is ranked among the top 25 prospects
by Rivals.com and spent two days at Kansas State
last week with Bob Huggins, the longtime Cincin-
nati coach who was named head coach last month
by the Wildcats.
As an undergraduate, Bennett committed to
Cincinnati when Huggins was still the Bearcats
coach. Huggins remained in contact this year
while he was out of coaching and not subject to
NCAA restrictions on when college coaches can
contact recruits.
Bennett has said he would make his decision
known at a news conference at noon Wednesday
at his high school.
Duane and Darlene Bennett accompanied their
son on his visit to get to know Kansas State.
He and his parents have not made a decision.
They hope to do so tomorrow (Tuesday) night,
Morgan said.
Bennett averaged 12.5 points, 13.5 rebounds
and eight blocks last season for Arlingtons 2A
state championship team. He would give the Wild-
cats a big, intimidating presence inside, which
they have lacked for many years.
Coaches are not allowed to speak publicly
about recruits this close to the signing period. But
several have noted that Bennett could immedi-
ately become one of the best defensive centers in
the Big 12.
In my opinion, hes the best defensive player in
high school this year, Morgan said.

No. 6 Texas at Kansas State (April 8-9)
Scores: Texas 7, Kansas State 2; Texas 10, Kan-
sas State 2; Texas 10, Kansas State 9
Player of the series: Texas junior outfelder
Carson Kainer. He went 11-for-15 with a run, nine
RBI, a home run and two stolen bases.
Pitcher of the series: Texas junior Kyle Mc-
Culloch was an out shy of a complete game last
Friday. Nevertheless, McCulloch earned his third
straight victory, bringing his record to 4-4. He struck
out seven in the game and allowed only two runs.
Note: Texas is 15-3 over its past 18 games after
going 9-8 in its frst 17.
No. 4 Nebraska at Missouri (April 7-9)
Scores: Nebraska 6, Missouri 3; Nebraska 5,
Missouri 2; Nebraska 13, Missouri 7
Player of the series: Nebraska junior outfelder
Luke Gorsett continued his onslaught of the Big
12, going 7-for-15 with fve runs, eight RBI and
two home runs. Missouri intentionally walked
Brandon Buckman in the top of the 13th on Sat-
urday to get to Gorsett. He made them pay with a
two-run double that put Nebraska up for good.
Pitcher of the series: The entire Nebraska bull-
pen. They combined for 8.1 shutout innings on
Friday and Saturday. Their 5.1 scoreless innings on
Saturday kept Missouri hitters at bay until Nebraska
pulled away in the 13th inning.
Note: Gorsett extended his hitting streak to 10
games and hit his Big 12-leading 14th home run of
the season on Sunday.

es. Baylor hadnt had an inside-the-park home run
since 2003 and hadnt had one at home since 2001.

Motta pitched a three-hit shutout on Friday, strik-
ing out four.

1, Texas A&M 0; Oklahoma 6, Texas A&M 3
Player of the series: Senior infelder Ryan
Rohlinger jump-started the Oklahoma offense on
Sunday, going 2-for-4 with a two-run home run.
Pitcher of the series: Oklahoma starters. Seniors
Daniel McCutchen (4-5), Steven Guerra (8-1) and
P.J Sandoval (5-1) struck out 22 batters in 24.2 in-
nings last weekend and allowed only six runs.
Sandoval, however, was the only one of the trio
who came out of the series with a victory. McCutchen
was saddled with the loss on Friday despite striking
out 13. Guerra received a no-decision on Saturday.
Note: Since taking two of three games against
then-No. 5 Florida, Texas A&M has gone 6-14.
Baseball
While Kansas takes the feld tonight winning
six of its past nine, North Dakota State suffered a
sweep at the hands of Southern Illinois last week-
end. Fighting through the fnal out in the series
fnale, the Bison tied the game at six in the ffth
and at eight in the sixth.
Six unearned runs Southern Illinois scored in
the seventh were enough to seal the victory and
the series sweep, increasing North Dakota States
losing streak to six games.
Left felder Jared Sullivan led the Bison offense
last Sunday, going 3-for-4 with a pair of RBI. On
the season, Sullivan has remained consistent, hit-
ting .305. His seven doubles lead the team.
Kansas will bring a potent left felder of its own
in sophomore outfelder John Allman. The St.
Louis native is hitting .341 and is tied for the team
lead with nine doubles. Last weekend against Tex-
as Tech, Allman went 5-for-10 and drove in fve
runs.
Tonight might be a chance for young KU play-
ers to gain playing time on the feld, though.
Well get a chance to get our bats going, a
chance for my younger guys to get some ABs,
Price said.
Junior right-hander Brendan McNamara (0-1,
4.08) will take the hill this evening. Freshman lefty
Nick Czyz (0-1, 9.20) will start the second game of
the two-game set, starting Wednesday at 3 p.m.
As a team, Kansas is hitting just .286 to North
Dakota States .230, but the Jayhawks have
knocked out 33 home runs to the Bisons one.
I think the big thing for us is we get to play
some midweek games, Price said. What that re-
ally does is prepare your team to hit on the week-
end. We havent played very many of those yet.
