Wednesday.
Knoernschild enjoyed the
weather by playing frisbee outside
of Pearson Scholarship Hall with
several other students. He said that
playing frisbee helped to keep him
warm, but that there was a better
reason for playing.
Mainly, I dont have anything

Knoernschild said other than
playing sports, he had another
method of keeping warm during
the icy winter weather.
I just take it like a man and

Lau said they were embarrassed
that she was naked, and his colleague
was crying so hard that her camera
was wet.
I was crying inside, Lau said.
These are real things students get to
see that they will never forget. They
have heard of poverty, but theyve
never seen it, theyve never touched
it, until that day.
The trip was an eye-opening
experience for students, who lived
with locals and visited factories in
Guangdong province, in southern
China.
Lau said the factories were sensi-
tive areas closed to the public. He
spent 10 years building relationships
in order to gain access for students.
Inside the factories, they could
smell the paint, Lau said. Workers,
some the same age as students or
younger, hand painted eyelashes
and rosy cheeks on Barbie dolls and
assembled Batman figures.
Students spent three days during
the trip in Yao-on village learning
about lost culture there.
Lau compared the village to small
towns in Kansas, where inhabitants
moved away and never returned,
only in the village, the people moved
to work in the factories.
Cathy Brashler, Chicago sopho-
more, said one of her favorite memo-
ries was standing in the middle of the
road in the village when the school
bell rang, and 30 children flooded
out of school. They got excited
and charged toward her when they
saw her, she said.
You have no idea what theyre
even saying, she said. You feel
like a celebrity.
The exhibit includes dozens of
photos and yellow tags with quotes
from 24 students on the trip, set
against a red backdrop. The yellow
labels represent clothing tags, such
as Made in China, May Tveit,
professor of design, said.
There are many stories to be
told beyond the product labels,
she said. We were inspired by that
format of communication.
After the exhibit ends, Lau said
he hoped to auction some of the
photographs to raise money for
people in China who have lost
something. He and students start-
ed raising funds to help the family
they met on their trip. Yau is trav-
eling back to China in December
with three photographers.

Two-car morning accident
on I-70 injures six, kills one
Elizabeth Rae Dominguez-San-
tos, 24, of Lawrence, died Wednes-
day morning in a two-car accident
on 1-70. Four other passengers
and both drivers were injured in
the accident. Dominguez-San-
tos was a passenger in a 1999
Mitsubishi Eclipse, which was
traveling west on the highway.
According to a Kansas Turnpike
Authority Accident Log, the driver,
Cesar Flores Espinabarro, 23, of
Lawrence, lost control of the ve-
hicle and slid across the median,
then slid sideways into the path of
an eastbound vehicle.
In the report, weather was
not cited as a contributing factor
because the accident occurred
before freezing rain began to fall
in the early afternoon.
Espinabarro was injured and
taken to Stormont-Vail Hospital in
Topeka by AMR Ambulance.
Reguera Flores-Socrates, 37,
of Lawrence, and Nicolas Tomas-
Alejandro, 20, of Lawrence, were
the other two passengers. Both
were injured and also taken to
Stormont-Vail Hospital.
The driver of a 2005 Chrysler
MV, the second vehicle, was
Pamela J. Martinez, 28, of Manhat-
tan. She sufered back injuries and
was taken to St. Francis Hospital
in Topeka by ambulance. Her two
passengers, Stephanie L. Bolender,
33, of Kamas, Utah, and Jackson R.
Bolender, 3, were also taken to St.
Francis with injuries.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK Britney Spears is
behaving more like her soon-to-be
ex-husband, Kevin Federline, than
a pop princess on the verge of a
career comeback.
Fresh from her split from the
club-hopping Federline, Spears
looked hip and wholesome weeks
ago in a surprise appearance on
David Lettermans show and while
ice skating in New Yorks Rockefeller
Center in a Gap sweater.
But now shes unleashing her
inner wild child, running around
with party girls Paris Hilton and
Lindsay Lohan, sporting unflatter-
ing hair extensions and flashing her
apparently panty-less crotch to the
paparazzi. Be prepared to cringe if
you dare to view the uncensored
photos, splashed unceremoniously
across the Web.
Shes a beautiful girl and now
that shes single and shes having
fun, I think shes just trying to
express herself, said New York-
based celebrity image consultant
Amanda Sanders. Unfortunately,
its the wrong message thats coming
across. And the shame is she was
really such a role model.
Spears, who turns 25 on Saturday,
and Hilton were inseparable while
hitting L.A. hotspots over the holi-
day weekend. People magazine
reported Wednesday on its Web site
that the duo will co-host the 2006
Billboard Music Awards, scheduled
to air live in Las Vegas on Monday
(Fox, 8 p.m. EST).
Representatives for Hilton and
Spears did not respond to messages
Wednesday.
Shes enjoying the single life
and who can blame her after putting
up with K-Feds antics? but many
Spears watchers disapprove of her
decision to cavort with Hollywoods
most infamous heiress.
In a post on Spears MySpace.
com page, a female fan urged Spears
to read this so you understand
how your fans may see the situa-
tion ... now your children need you
so do the right thing Brit, and be a
mother and forget the partying.
Rosie ODonnell said Wednesday
on The View that Spears should
stop bonding with Hilton and move
in with her, her partner Kelli and
their kids so she could have a sta-
ble family around her.
Can the mother of two young
sons return to the sexy yet sweet
Britney of yore?
Maybe, maybe not. But she
might reconnect with her fans by
making savvy career moves, said
Entertainment Weekly magazine
executive editor Lori Majewski
like doing a duet with ex-boyfriend
Justin Timberlake, or sitting not
jumping on Oprah Winfreys
couch.
The public can be very forgiving
and, you know, if she were to go on
Oprah, the court of public opinion
could quickly turn, Majewski said.
A few tears and the words `Im
sorry can go a long, long way. Or
`Im embarrassed or `I didnt mean
to ...
But the ultimate key to the suc-
cess of a future career for her is
a new it doesnt have to be a
wholesome image but a new,
cleaned-up image and a hot single.
The girls worth millions and
probably has fabulous things
spilling out of her closet, Sanders
said, but thats not enough to buy
class.
It is enough, however, to buy a
stylist.
Now shes got awful extensions
and her hair just looks it looks
cheap, Sanders said. And I dont
want to use Tara Reid as a shining
example, but, you know ...
Its your turn, Britney. Now go
and give Oprah a call.
PEOPLE
Britney enjoys single life, maybe too much
CRIME
Comedian arrested for
drunken driving Tuesday
NEW YORK Tracy Morgan, a
former Saturday Night Liveregular
who co-stars on NBCs 30 Rock,
was arrested Tuesday in Upper
Manhattan on drunken driving
charges, the district attorneys of ce
said.
The 38-year-old comedian was
stopped about 4:30 a.m. while
driving a Cadillac Escalade on the
Henry Hudson Parkway near West
158th Street, said Edison Alban, a
spokesman for District Attorney
Robert Morgenthau.
Police said Morgan smelled of al-
cohol and later failed a breathalyzer
test at a police station, Alban said.
When he was arrested, Morgan
told police he had been to a club
and had some beers,Assistant
District Attorney Robert Kennedy
said in court.
Morgan was arraigned on charg-
es of driving while intoxicated and
driving while impaired. Manhattan
Criminal Court Judge Matthew F.
Cooper released Morgan without
requiring him to post bail, but
ordered him to turn over his drivers
license.
The prosecutor told the judge
that he recommended a $1,000
fne, fve days of community service
and a DWI program. Morgans
lawyer, Sheryl Reich, told the judge
they had no interest in the plea of-
fer at this time.
The judge scheduled a Jan. 4
hearing for a possible disposition.

Frantis lyrics window into war
A common complaint about
young Americans is that we lack
the civic engagement and activ-
ist bent of the preceding gen-
erations. Our attention to and
knowledge of foreign affairs, for
example, probably pales in com-
parison to that of our parents,
though that may be a product
of fewer large-scale foreign con-
flicts. So how, our elders wonder,
are they to force us to become
more involved in the actions of
our government?
Enter Rep. Charles Rangel of
New York. In what has become a
yearly tradition, Rangel will again
propose a bill that would require
public service of Americans
between the ages of 18 and 42.
While the bill is geared mostly
to encourage military service,
it would provide alternate posi-
tions in the civil service corps.
Rangel, a Korean War veteran
himself, proposed a similar bill
in 2003 that was overwhelm-
ingly defeated, with Rangel him-
self curiously voting against his
own bill.
Efforts to encourage the par-
ticipation and engagement of
young people in both domestic
and foreign affairs are based on
good intentions. Our grandpar-
ents generation showed what
legions of committed fighters can
accomplish in pursuit of a noble
goal. However, Rangels largely
symbolic bill would encounter
two main problems if passed.
First, we would see a massive
increase in federal spending and
bureaucracy. The defense budget
already accounts for a gigantic
proportion of U.S. discretionary
spending, and would increase
exponentially if millions of new
soldiers were added. The ensu-
ing spike in federal employment,
along with all the benefits and
payments therein, would likely
cause a strain on the nation-
al economy. Second, Rangel is
overlooking the profound cul-
tural shift required for draft
reinstatement. Current students
have grown up knowing only the
concept of a volunteer military,
and suddenly requiring service
would be an unwelcome affront
to many young peoples concepts
of liberty and career freedom.
If Rangel is serious about
encouraging service and fore-
sight, perhaps he should look
inward. It has been suggested by
some that if military service were
required of legislators them-
selves, or of their children, they
might be less cavalier about com-
mitting a volunteer military to a
given conflict. A Congressman
might think twice about approv-
ing military action if he had a
more personal stake in the pro-
ceedings and outcome.
Students should not worry
about Rangels bill passing in
the near future, but should heed
the bills intent. Taking a greater
interest in public affairs must be
a goal for Americans of all ages.
McKay Stangler for the edito-
rial board.
A few rhyming bumper stick-
ers does not an anti-war activist
make. Today, youth proudly display
bumper stickers that say things like
Buck Fush, or You can bomb the
world to pieces, but you cant bomb
it into peace. For the 18-25-year-
old demographic, its cool to protest
the war in Iraq. Im not sure if its
the rumblings of rebellious youth
testing the boundaries set by their
parents, or if we really feel that war
is wrong. Writer Rich Brooks of the
Sarasota-Tribune Herald stated it
perfectly when he wrote, Without
the threat of Uncle Sam taking away
your freedom, todays college stu-
dents dont have a stake in the Iraq
war.
How is this demographic sup-
posed to understand the war? One
answer is to listen to Michael Franti
and Spearheads newest CD, Yell
Fire. A year ago, Franti was just
another singer angry with U.S. poli-
tics and the decision to invade Iraq.
However, instead of writing a few
hit singles about it, he decided to go
to the Middle East. While visiting
Iraq, Israel and Palestine, he didnt
talk to politicians and religious
leaders he talked to the people.
He talked to soldiers on both sides,
went into war-torn neighborhoods
and talked to the people affected
most by the invasion.
Franti views war on a human
scale. He doesnt give numbers
of bodies. There have been an
estimated 655,000 Iraqis killed as
of this July, according to a study
done by Johns Hopkins University.
Imagining 655,000 units of any-
thing is hard enough imagining
655,000 bodies is even more out of
Americans realms of imagination.
Putting a face with the cause creates
a relationship between the cause
and the activist. Franti attempts to
build that connection for his young
fan base. Hes the pied piper of
peace for the youth music market.
Franti doesnt use political termi-
nology that most cannot compre-
hend. He likens Iraqis to Americans
by inextricably linking us and them.
The end result is an other with a
shared understanding. How many
of us have been to the Middle East?
Most of us dont have that human
connection to the war-torn area,
particularly Iraq. By making a
multitude of connections between
the two cultures, Franti attempts to
break down the distance barriers.
An example of this is in the song
Love Enough, in which he asks,
What language are your tears?
In the song What Ive Seen,
Franti sings of things that arent
seen on the 6 p.m. news: Razor
wire on the street, every corner / 90
degrees at six in the morning / Run
like mad just to make a connection
/ Pack what you need for your own
protection. Showing, not telling,
Franti puts listeners as close as he
possibly can to the Iraqis position.
The war in Iraq has been con-
nected to the Vietnam War, which
had a strong youth anti-war follow-
ing. However, those Vietnam War
protestors were attempting to avoid
the draft and create cultural change.
In a society that has no draft but
does have political apathy, why
should youth be expected to care
about the war?
Frantis answer is that were
all human. Geographic boundar-
ies, religions and skin tone may
divide us, yet were all residents on
Earth together. In the song Hello
Bonjour, Franti sings, Dont tell a
man that he cant come here cause
he got brown eyes and a wavy kinda
hair / Dont tell a woman that she
cant go there because she prays a
little different to a God up there /
You say youre a Christian cause
God made you / You say youre
a Muslim cause God made you /
Then we all kill each other cause
God told us to?
According to the London news-
paper The Guardian, The Bush
administrations response to its
critics in the entertainment indus-
try has been to portray them as
pampered liberals out of touch with
ordinary Americans. So while art-
ists can benefit by filling a niche
market for anti-war music, Franti
took on the task of relating emo-
tions of distrust, anger and fear on
a human level for all listeners to
understand. He offers a voice and a
conscience to a generation that has
never been held responsible. Yes,
there are 18-25 year-olds who are
anti-Bush and anti-war, yet can-
not find Iraq on a map, or believe
the Gaza Strip to be the name of a
steak. However, Frantis music pres-
ents a vivid picture that may influ-
ence followers to become activists.

GUEST COMMENTARY
I have always been very proud
of Jayhawk fans and think we are
some of the best fans the Big 12
has to offer. However, this month
Im about as embarrassed as Ive
ever been with my own fan base.
It all started after a victory against
an unranked K-State football team
when a handful of students tore
down the goalposts. It continued
when our basketball team beat No.
1 Florida in Las Vegas and fans
stormed the floor. Its time to start
acting like weve been there before.
However, the thing that is
really disappointing was the home
game against Dartmouth this past
Tuesday, following the Florida
game, when there were a good 2,500
empty seats. A good portion of
those seats were student seats. The
University has 28,000 students and
we cant even fill the fieldhouse?
I know some students may have
tests or homework but this wasnt
the only game this season that has
not been filled to capacity. Besides
the opener, no other game has
been full to capacity, thanks to the
students. There is no excuse for
this. We have the No. 5 team in the
country and are known for having
some of the best basketball fans in
the nation. Just because the Hawks
play a no-name team doesnt mean
its a free pass to not support the
team. How do you think our play-
ers felt when they ran out of the
tunnel on Tuesday, after winning
the biggest game of their career
three nights earlier, to an Allen
Fieldhouse only three-quarters full?
Many of you students not show-
ing up for these games are taking
your tickets for granted, and if
student attendance doesnt improve
I can almost guarantee you that
Athletic Director Lew Perkins will
cut back student seating next year
and sell the tickets to the public.
And he should. There are many
people who would do almost any-
thing to go to a Jayhawk basketball
game but cant find tickets because
the games are sold out most of the
time.
Another disappointing trend is
how many fans dont wear blue to
the games. The majority of the stu-
dents are pretty good about wearing
blue, but as the season has pro-
gressed fewer students are wearing
blue. How dumb does it look when
a Jayhawk fan shows up for a game
against the Dartmouth Big Green in
a green KU shirt? I saw several. Im
not saying dont ever buy a pink or
green KU shirt, but dont wear it to
a sporting event. It just looks silly.
Our colors are crimson and blue,
not green, yellow, pink, orange or
any other bright or creative color.
Almost every other school in
the country has their school colors
figured out. If you attend a K-State
game in Manhattan, they all wear
purple. If you attend a Nebraska
game in Lincoln, they all wear red.
Its preschool logic, really. That is
where we learned our colors, right?
Can you imagine how cool it would
look to paint the Fieldhouse blue?
To the students who actually
show up and wear blue, keep up the
good work. To the students slack-
ing, lets pick it up and make Kansas
the best fan base in not only the Big
12, but also the whole country.

pursuit of fugitive skips in Hawaii.
The show glorifies the adventurous
side of being a bail bondsman: fugi-
tive recovery. However, bondsmen
must be accessible 24 hours a day,
ready to take that one phone call
allowed to those in jail.
Robson said he performed a
community service. If the people
he bails were left in jail, more tax
dollars would be needed for jail
space. But Robson said the public
perceived him negatively.
The most frustrating thing about
being in the bail-bond business to
me is the way that most of the com-
munity almost looks down on you
like you are one of the criminals for
getting people out of jail, he said.
It didnt help the image of local
bondsmen in September when Jim
Price, 69, owner of A-1 Bail Bonds,
committed the biggest faux pas in the
business. His armed recovery agents
apprehended the wrong man, who
had the same name as the fugitive
who skipped. The innocent victim
spent a night in jail. Price said health
problems could have contributed to
the mix-up. In early October, Robert
Fairchild, chief judge of Douglas
County District Court, suspended
Price and his agency from writing
bonds in Douglas County.
The quickest way to get in trou-
ble in the bail-bond business isnt
writing bonds, its picking people
up, Robson said.
In addition to Prices recent
trouble, the exposure of Dog The
Bounty Hunter has created misper-
ceptions, bondsmen said.
Loren Thormobsgard, 57, owner
of Viking Bail Bonds in Topeka, said
being a bail bondsman was nothing
like the show.
Robson called Dogs dramatic
recoveries ridiculous.
You cant jump out of a car with
seven guys, badges hanging off of
you with bulletproof vests, mace
swinging all over the place running
down the street, he said. Then
criminals are going to be three miles
ahead of you when you get out of the
car. Theyll spot you and be gone.
Youve got to sneak up on them.
Instead of
exciting car
chases, recover-
ies require a lot
of patient sitting
and waiting out-
side the homes
of skips, and
their friends
or relatives,
explained Ryan
Messenger, 33, of
Speedy Release
Bail Bonds in
Olathe.
I specifically instruct my guys
to avoid confrontation. We dont
kick down doors, he said, even
though Kansas law allows it if the
bondsman knows a skip is behind
the door.
Kansas law grants bondsmen
the power to apprehend clients and
return them to jail if they miss
a court date, but requires notify-
ing law enforcement if they intend
to make an arrest. That way, law
enforcement can have an opportu-
nity to accompany the bondsman.
Each state is different; not all even
allow bail bondsmen to become
bounty hunters.
In contrast to Robson and
Messenger, Dog aggressively and
often with force, apprehends skips
with the help of his wife, two sons
and brother. He then lectures skips
during the ride to jail. Conversations
often end with
the skip in tears
and Dog tell-
ing them to Go
with Christ.
Robson wor-
ried the popular-
ity of the show
could result in
more competi-
tion and more
regulation in the
industry. Right
now, he has as
much authority
as police, he said.
Not seen on TV are the early
morning trips to the jail, the paper-
work writing bonds and the time
spent on the phone or the long
hours.
Messenger said he worked about
16 hours a day, mostly on the phone.
He racks up as much as 10,000
minutes on his phone each month.
His cell phone bills average $200
monthly, he said.
Robson is often exhausted during
the day after waking up throughout
the night to answer his phone. He
estimates that more than half of his
client calls come between 10 p.m.
and 6 a.m.
When people want out of jail,
they dont care what time it is,
Robson said.
His wife, Dana, said ringing
phones were a part of their life.
Steve showers with the phone on
the back of the toilet, she said.
The second she and Robson sit
down at a restaurant, Dana said, the
phone rings. She joked that when
business got slow, she would suggest
they go out to dinner.
The life of a bail bondsman can
take a toll on
normal family
life, but Robson
is fortunate
enough to spend
time with his
family at work.
He employs six
members of his
family at Ace.
During day-
light hours,
Robson spends
10 hours a day in his office, writ-
ing between 15 and 30 bonds a
week, depending on the time of year.
Warm weather months, Kansas foot-
ball gamedays and holidays are the
busiest, he said.
He said his 15 bondsmen had writ-
ten more than 800 bonds in north-
east Kansas since last December and
had more than $500,000 in bonds on
the street at a given time.
Robson and Messenger dont bail
many KU students out of jail, but
when they do, the most common
charge is a DUI, which has a $250
bail that many just pay. Robson said
some got money from their parents
for larger bonds. Messenger recalled
one KU student who was arrested
for growing psychedelic mushrooms
in his residence hall room, but said
his KU customers were few and far
between.
Bondsmen make money by charg-
ing a 10 percent non-refundable pre-
mium. For example, if bail is set at
$10,000, the bondsman charges a
$1,000 fee. The minimum Robson
charges is $75, so even bail amounts
less than $750 entail a $75 fee.
This is how it works: When you
get arrested and a judge sets a bail
amount, you have three options. You
can pay the court the entire amount,
stay in jail until your court date, or
call a bondsman who will charge
you a 10 percent non-refundable
premium and agree to pay the court
the full amount if you dont show
up for court. Your bondsman will
usually insist on having a co-signer,
often a member of your family, who
is responsible for
the entire amount
of the bail if you
miss your court
date. You may
have to give per-
sonal references,
other people your
bondsman can
contact if you
go missing. Your
contract gives the
bondsman the
power to arrest and physically return
you to jail and even charge you for
costs incurred while he does it.
Robson said cosigners were the
key to a successful bail-bond busi-
ness.
Theyre going to help you find
the person if theyre missing or
theyre going to pay the bond, he
said. The success of your pickups
depends on your ability to get good
cosigners.
Robson recently apprehended a
repeat offender in Topeka with the
help of a cosigner who told him the
skips whereabouts. He thought it
would get con-
frontational, but
it turned out to
be one of his
easy pickups.
Robson entered
the apartment,
holding his
taser gun at
his side. The
man immedi-
ately turned
around and put
his hands together behind his back,
a cigarette still hanging from his
mouth. When Robson dropped the
man off at the Douglas County jail,
the man apologized for missing his
court date, thanked him, shook his
hand and gave him a hug.
Messenger uses intimidation to
avoid confrontation by brandishing
a taser gun that he said hes never
had to use. His 6-foot-2, 240-pound
frame helps too.
Ive had guys say I dont want
your big ass coming to get me, Ill
go to court, Messenger said. Only
about one out of five clients missed a
court date last year, he said.
Robson said he sometimes
deterred a skip from resisting by
holding up a can of pepper spray.
Hell also hold a taser gun that hes
never used.
Ninety-nine percent wont go
toe-to-toe in a fight with you, he
said.
But some pickups have potential
for violence. Brock Robson, 22, who
works with his father at Ace, recalls
a pickup when he was working for
Viking in Topeka. Brock walked up
behind the man and asked if he had
anything on him, drugs or weap-
ons. In fact, the man had a loaded
.22-caliber pistol, a knife and five
stolen credit cards. He had multiple
felonies, but was taken back to jail
without incident.
Brock serves as the runner dur-
ing fugitive recoveries, responsible
for chasing skips who run away. At
5-foot-9, 175 pounds, hes not big,
but Thormobsgard, his former boss
at Viking, said Brock was very fast.
Brock said
clients were
s o me t i me s
surprised to
see someone
so young bail
them out. Some
older clients
have glared at
him with con-
fusion and hes
been called a
young pup, he
said.
Brock said his mom worried
about him when hes working. She
tells me to wear my seat belt and my
bulletproof vest when I go on pick-
ups, he said.
Robson recalled one pickup when
a woman skip bit him so hard on
his side, underneath his armpit, that
she drew blood and left a black and
blue dental imprint. That happened
after he had emptied a can of pep-
per spray in her face to subdue her.
Usually, the sight of pepper spray is
enough to deter people, he said. Hes
suffered bumps, bruises and scrapes,
but no broken bones and no one has
ever shot at him.
Neither Robson nor Messenger
typically carry guns, but Messenger
did once. On one of his first pick-
ups, Messenger was working with a
recovery agent who gave him a shot-
gun loaded with bean bag rounds.
The two were approaching the skips
house, when a neighbor let his pit
bull loose after Messenger warned
him not to. Messenger shot the dog.
He ran away with his tail between
his legs, Messenger said.
Bondsmen said that the rewards
outweighed the risks and that they
could make a good living. Messenger,
who is single, earns $50,000 a year.
He said the money wasnt the only
reason he liked his job.
My enjoyment comes from
knowing I help people get their stuff
taken care of, he said. Writing bail
bonds is not just about collecting
money and getting people out of jail.
Its part social work, counseling and
financial advising.
Robson wouldnt say how much
money his business made, but he
moved into a new office last March
and is in the process of moving into
a new house south of town. For
Robson, its more than money, its
a family thing. He said that it was
about trust and comfort, and that
his family had grown closer because
of it.
This is our livelihood, he said.
We have to make it work. This is
how we make our living.

bondsman requirements
Steve Robson said Dog The
Bounty Hunter had created the
impression that any wannabe
can become a bail bondsman,
but there are conditions.
The 155 resident bail bonds-
men currently licensed by the
Kansas Insurance Department
had to:
Pass the Kansas Laws and
Regualtions Exam, which covers
the legal and general insurance
statutes of the state of Kansas,
with a score of 70 percent or
better
Complete 12 hours of
property and casualty courses
plus one hour of ethics
Renew Certifcation every
two years
Passing the test allows the
person to write bail bonds, but
not other types of insurance
like car or life insurance. The 51
non-resident bail bondsmen in
Kansas only had to be in good
standing in their home state to
write bonds in Kansas.

The Kansas mens golf team exceeded
expectations this fall, turning what was origi-
nally considered a transitional season into a
successful campaign. Despite losing several
key players to graduation and an assistant
coach to conference rival Colorado, Kansas
posted four top five finishes this fall.
The Jayhawks wrapped up the season
ranked 39th nationally, thanks in large part
to the senior leadership of Gary Woodland
and Tyler Docking. Woodland was the teams
anchor, winning one tournament and never
finishing outside of the top 10.
Young players also played a part in the
teams success. Sophomore Zach Pederson
and freshman Bobby Knowles often made
positive contributions but had trouble with
inconsistent play.

The Jayhawk volleyball team ended a dis-
appointing season and will not make a return
trip to the NCAA tournament. The team
could not get going on the road during
conference play, during which the Jayhawks
finished in last place in the Big 12. Injuries
hurt the Jayhawks before the season started
when Natalie Uhart had a season-ending
knee injury. On the bright side, the team had
freshmen who showed they could play at the
Big 12 level. Coach Ray Bechard has signed
two outside hitters for next season to replace
this seasons outside hitter, Jana Correa.

The Kansas rowing team participated in
four events this fall, including the first-ever
night race in the United States. The Jayhawks
built upon last seasons success and had
strong performances at each event, which
gives them momentum as they head into the
spring portion of their schedule, including a
home event in late March.

The Kansas swimming and diving team
continues to add to the success it experienced
last season. The Jayhawks have competed in
tournaments from Maryland to Nebraska in
preparation for their spring campaign, when
they will head out for their annual trip to the
Big 12 Championships in College Station,
Texas. In addition to the Big 12 meet, the
Jayhawks will also travel to Minneapolis,
Minn., for the NCAA Championships. These
two meets are what the team will use to gauge
its success and have prepared for throughout
the summer training and fall tournaments.
As these tournaments get closer, the Jayhawks
continue to experience success with minimal
failure along the way.

Kansas played inconsistently throughout
the season, and finding the back of the net
became a chore for the offense. During a
three-week stretch, Kansas lost four of six
games, scoring only twice during that stretch.
Goalkeeper Julie Hanley was the teams only
constant, leading the Big 12 in shutouts and
goals-allowed averages. The offense finally
got on the same page as the Big 12s best
defense, and the Jayhawks won four games
to clinch fourth place in the Big 12. But a
hot Colorado team ended Kansas run. The
Buffaloes defeated the Jayhawks twice in a
row, the second of which was in the Big 12
Tournament and was Kansas final game of
the season.

After losing six seniors to graduation,
Kansas softball was worried about youth
on the team. However, Kansas coach Tracy
Bunge is confident the team can be just as
successful, but reach that success in a differ-
ent way. The success of the team in the spring
season is dependent on strong pitching and
capitalizing on hits. The Jayhawks finished
their fall season with a 9-3 record. During
winter break, coach Tracy Bunge hopes to
improve the Jayhawk defense and communi-
cation on the field.

The goal for the cross country team was to
finish better than last year.
Though a mighty task, the mens team, full
of experienced talent, and the womens team,
which welcomed nine freshmen, took the
challenge head-on.
Head coach Stanley Redwine was excited
for the program as the Big 12 Championships
were held in Lawrence at Rim Rock Farms.
Junior Colby Wissel kept the streak of Big 12
championship alive, winning the event.
Wissel and fellow junior Paul Hefferon
were the high performers for the Jayhawks
this season, finishing top two for the team
every meet. The women placed 11th in the
Big 12 and the men placed third. The men
qualified for nationals, where they placed
20th as a team.
Wissel and Hefferon earned all-American
status. Individually, the two performed better
than last year, but as a team the Jayhawks
finished about the same as last year.

The womens golf team started the season
with five freshmen and got a new assistant
coach midway through the season. The team
started strong, steadily improving during
the first two tournaments with a ninth and
third place finish. The season culminated
in a victory at the Marilyn Smith Sunflower
Invitational. The Jayhawks were unable to
finish the fall strongly, finishing 14th and
15th in the final two tournaments. With the
season half over, the Jayhawks will look to
improve in the time off and make another
strong showing when they travel to Ensenada,
Mexico, for the Baja Invitational Feb. 5-6.

The Jayhawk baseball team made its most
visible appearance at Allen Fieldhouse, to col-
lect its Big 12 Baseball Championship rings
during halftime of a basketball game.
The team was also working behind the
scenes. During fall ball they dont play
against other schools, but split into two teams
and scrimmage against each other. The main
benefit is for the younger players.
Were trying to make improvements in
fundamentals, make that leap from being a
good high school player to a good Division I
player, coach Ritch Price said.
The players conditioned on Monday,
Wednesday and Friday at 6:30 a.m. to prepare
for the upcoming season.
They then played a series of exhibition
games, highlighted by the annual KU Alumni
Baseball Game at Hoglund Ballpark.
The current players won 10-3, but former
player Forrest Hoglund, whose name sits atop
the stadium, collected two singles. Hoglund
played at Kansas from 1954 to 1956.

The Kansas tennis team competed in four
tournaments this fall in preparation for its

The final tournament was in North

Carolina singles draw, and two of the
Jayhawks doubles teams made the finals in
their consolation bracket.
Earlier in the season, the Jayhawks com-
peted in the Deacon Classic tournament,
where Svistun won the championship in the

Many of the players on the team also
played competitively in summer tournaments
that are not sponsored by the University.

Sure, Kansas did what it was supposed
to do and beat the tar out of Dartmouth on
Tuesday, 83-32.
However, this wasnt just any run-of-
the-mill beatdown, and the final score
doesnt do it justice. Never before had a
Kansas opponent failed so miserably to put
the ball in the basket in Allen Fieldhouse,
and its been more than half of a century
since any Kansas opponent has had such a
futile scoring performance.
And at no time did the Jayhawks feel
like taking it easy on their Ivy League
foes.
I just try to kill them more, really,
freshman forward Darrell Arthur said.
Heres a rundown of the most impres-
sive milestones set during the Jayhawks
victory against the Big Green:
Dartmouths 32 points were the
fewest scored by a Kansas opponent in
Lawrence since Idaho scored 28 in 1946,
when Kansas played its home games in
Hoch Auditorium.
Dartmouths 32 points were the few-
est by a Kansas opponent since Oklahoma
State scored 27 at home in 1951.
Dartmouth made 12 field goals,
which was the lowest total for a Kansas
opponent since Nebraska had 10 at home
in 1961.

Colby Wissel and paul Heferon shined during the Kansas cross country teams fall season.
Athletics Director Lew Perkins has
asked to meet with reporters covering the
mens basketball team this afternoon, likely
to announce a new contract for mens bas-
ketball coach Bill Self.
Self has this year and next remaining
on a five-year contract he signed when he
came to the University of Kansas in 2003.
The current contract pays him about $1.1
million a year and also includes various
incentives including two courtesy cars. Self
is also eligible for a $600,000 retention
bonus if he remains at Kansas through
2008.
This extension comes just a few months
after football coach Mark Mangino received
a hefty raise that converted him from the
Big 12 Conferences lowest-paid coach to
one of in the top tier. Mangino now makes
about $1.5 million a year. The announce-
ment of Manginos extension also came
in a private meeting with beat writers and
Perkins.
That Mangino was making more than
Self at a school much more well-known for
basketball surprised many.
At the time, Perkins told local media
that he was working on extensions for
both Self and womens basketball coach
Bonnie Henrickson. At the time, Perkins
was quoted as saying he hoped Self stayed
at Kansas for a long time.
This announcement would seem to con-
firm that Self will, if it is a contract exten-
sion, indeed be the coach of the Jayhawks
for some time.
