It is barely five o clock on a cold January
morning and Steve Welmer is already in
his rental car in the small college town of
Bloomington, Ind. Welmer is on his way
to the airport, needing to catch the first
flight so he can arrive in Lawrence by late-
morning.
Welmer is refereeing ESPNs Big Monday
game between the Kansas Jayhawks and
Oklahoma Sooners that night.
While most men his age are watching
the game from their easy chair, the 57-
year-old Welmer stands at center court, his
outstretched arm holding the ball nine feet
in the air as he prepares to throw the jump.
As one of his trademarks, he holds the ball
high with his right hand before pushing it
up another four feet into the air to start the
game. Sophomore forward Darrell Arthur
wins the tip for Kansas and another night of
basketball is underway.
While surveying the action in the paint,
Welmer reaches down and tugs his pants,
first pulling them up in the back before giv-
ing them a pull in the front. Its something
that he does almost every time down the
floor, a habit that along with his balding
head and 6-foot-10-inch, 240-pound frame,
makes him one of the most recognizable
referees in college basketball.
After running up and down the court
for two hours with players less than half his
age and hearing few complaints from play-
ers, coaches and fans, Welmer grabs some
chicken strips from a drive-thru, heads back
to his hotel and goes to bed. He must wake
up in five hours to head back to the airport,
this time heading to Denver to referee the
Colorado-Nebraska game the next night.
From November through March, its a
nomadic life with a rigorous daily routine
for one of the most respected officials in
the business. Though he works more games
each season than any other referee, Welmers
seasons have all ended short of the goal that
everyone in college basketball shares. While
he looks forward to relaxing and playing
golf near his Florida home, he would rather
work at least one more week and get to call
a game at his first Final Four.
SETTING THE SCHEDULE
After completing his 27th season of offi-
ciating at the Division I level, Welmer is
a popular choice of conference coordina-
tors, who battle to have him officiate as
many of their games as possible. The result
for Welmer was a schedule that featured
124 games this past seasonmore than
any referee in the United States. It was
the 14th consecutive year that Welmer led
all Division I referees in games officiated,
something he said he took great pride in.
Coordinators for 10 conferences,
including the Big 10, Big 12, Conference
USA, Mountain West, Western Athletic
Conference, Sun Belt, Horizon and Missouri
Valley Conference, send Welmer a tentative
schedule of games every August for the
upcoming season. Welmer then arranges
the schedules on a master calendar with a
U.S. map to plan his season.
Welmer looks for locations that let him
ref a cluster of games in the same area. Once
he decides which games he can work, he
sends the list back to the conference coordi-
nators so they can offer the other games to
other officials.
Welmer employs his wife Linda, a retired
Northwest Airlines ticket agent, to make all

Louisiana Senate rejects
state ban on saggy pants
BATON ROUGE, La. A state
Senate panel rejected a bill on
Tuesday that would make it a
crime to wear ones pants too
low, even as Cajun-country towns
around Louisiana have been
banning saggy pants from their
streets.
Sen. Derrick Shepherds bill
would have made it illegal to wear,
in public, clothing that intention-
ally exposes undergarments or
intentionally exposes any portion
of the pubic hair, cleft of the but-
tocks or genitals.Violators would
have faced a fne of up to $175
and eight days of community
service.
Exceptions included thong
swim suits and clothing worn in
fashion shows.
Shepherd said the state should
take a stand against droopy pants,
which he called just one example
of widespread indecency in con-
temporary clothing styles.
With no objection, the Senate
judiciary panel voted against mov-
ing the measure to the foor.
About a dozen Louisiana towns
and cities have enacted or are
considering bans on saggy pants.

The University of Kansas might
get more than a shiny trophy and
a nice ego boost from its NCAA
National Championship. The
recent athletic success may give
the University a boost in admis-
sions applications as well.
A study done by researchers at
Virginia Tech and the University
of Pennsylvania gave proof to the
widely held belief that the more
athletic success a school has, the
more applications theyll receive.
Jaren Pope, an assistant pro-
fessor of applied economics at
Virginia Tech, completed the study
with his brother, Devin, an assis-
tant professor at Pennsylvanias
Wharton School.
According to the study, an
NCAA Championship in basket-
ball is likely to result in a 7 to 8
percent increase in applications
the following year.
Lee Furbeck, associate director
of admissions and scholarships at
the University, said she did not
anticipate an increase until the
2009-2010 school year.
Most of our enrollment dead-
lines had passed before they won
the championship, Furbeck said.
The study gives quantifiable
evidence to the myth that has
been called the Flutie effect, after
Boston College was flooded with
applications following its Doug
Flutie-led football victory against
Miami in 1984.
The study also found that schools
that make the Sweet Sixteen have a
3 percent boost in applications the
following year, while just making
the NCAA tournament is good
enough for a 1 percent increase.
Even if we hadnt won, we had
a commercial on prime time and
thats something we wouldnt nor-
mally have had, Furbeck said of
the KU commercial, which aired
during the national championship
game. It results in more folks
looking at what we offer.
But Furbeck said she didnt
expect the Flutie effect to hit the
University, mostly because Kansas
basketball is already a household
name.
Ben Grace, Tulsa, Okla., junior,
said sports played a significant part
of his college decision three years
ago. He grew up in Missouri and
said he fell in love with Kansas
basketball as he watched former
Kansas guard Jacque Vaughn and
the Kansas teams of the 1990s.
I just knew I would come
here, Grace said. Not only
because of basketball, but because
I loved KU, and I wanted to see
games in the Fieldhouse.
Even if Kansas sees an increase
in applications next year, Furbeck
said it might be hard to attribute
the increase solely to the cham-
pionship.
There may be other things we
change in our recruitment efforts
next year as well, Furbeck said.

As worldwide demand contin-
ues to drive up the price of food,
KU Food Services is monitoring
market trends and exploring its
options to keep campus food pric-
es as low as economically possible.
Nona Golledge, director of KU
Food Services, said the national
average cost of food increased
about 4 percent in 2007, which is
up from the historical 2.5 annual
increase during the past 10 years.
This year, the rising cost isnt
isolated to just one food group
but the entire wide range of
food items have been impacted,
Golledge said.
Golledge said the rising cost
of food prompted KU Food
Services to raise some of its prices
on campus. Golledge said cof-
fee prices increased about 4 to 5
percent because the Universitys
coffee supplier raised its prices.
Anything that contains grain has
also become more expensive, she
said, and campus salad bar prices
have climbed a small percentage.
We anticipated prices would
go up this year so we did raise
some prices, but not across the
board, Golledge said. Weve only
increased prices on items that
have become noticeably expensive
in order to balance the costs.
She said she didnt know yet
whether other prices would go up
in the future to counter the rising
costs. But she said her department
wanted to avoid that.
Well keep monitoring trends
and try to respond in a responsible
way to keep us financially sound
while keeping our customers best
interests at heart, Golledge said.
Glenn Barnaby, professor of
agricultural economics at Kansas
State University, said four main
economic factors were driving
the price of food up: worldwide
increase in demand, the sinking
value of the dollar, rising fuel costs
and the weather. Some of these
factors are interrelated.
The sinking value of the dollar,
for example, is increasing world-
wide demand, he said, because
U.S. exports are cheaper for for-
eign countries to import.
Even though our economy is
having problems, China contin-
ues to grow at an annual rate of 8
percent, Barnaby said. The low
value of the dollar makes grain
cheaper overseas. As long as Asian
countries continue to grow at the
same rate, commodity prices will
continue to rise.
Both the increase in world-
wide demand and the decline in
the dollars value are contributing
to the rise in fuel costs, which
Barnaby said was making it more
expensive to transport food and
livestock feed. He said the price of
fuel was driving the prices for all
goods in the United States.
The weather determines how
much farmers are able to sup-
ply the growing demand. Barnaby
said dry weather in southwest
Kansas this year could bring about
a poor wheat crop during harvest
in late June or early July. Wheat
peaked at $13 per bushel about a
month and a half ago, but he said
a good wheat harvest this summer
could easily drop the price about
30 percent.
Barnaby said it would take two
good harvests in a row for grain
prices to fall considerably.
Barnaby said the rise in food
prices wasnt bad for everyone.
Farmers, he said, were profiting
from the spike in exports.
When youre talking about
an increase in prices, it always
depends on which side of the desk
you sit, he said. Farmers prob-
ably dont consider these high
prices to be bad, but buyers have
the exact opposite perspective,
which is true in any economy.

SATURDAY, MAY 3 - 8:30 PM
THE BOTTLENECK
of his hotel, airfare and rental car

reservations.
He never has a round trip, Linda
said. Hes always going from one
game site to another. Its difficult. I
get on three or four or five sites to
get the best fares for him.
Welmer is paid $1,000 per game
plus $200 for expenses and is com-
pensated for the cost of round-trip
coach airfare. Because Welmer goes
straight from one city to the next,
he can collect extra money from the
airfare and ends up making more
than the $1,000 per game fee.
Because referees are independent
contractors, they receive no ben-
efits such as health insurance, social
security or a retirement fund and
must pay for those expenses out of
their own pocket.
All of us have pretty good
accountants, Welmer said. Our tax
return last year was 52 pages long.
Its something that I would no more
attempt to do than try to fly a jet
airplane.
WHERE IT ALL BEGAN
Welmers interest in officiat-
ing began in the late 1960s while
playing high school basketball for
the Bulldogs at Columbus North
High School, formerly known
as Columbus Senior High, in
Columbus, Ind. During Welmers
senior season, the Bulldogs went 23-
3 thanks in large part to his team-
high 18 points and 14 rebounds a
game. When Welmer and his team-
mates werent practicing or play-
ing, they were refereeing junior high
games on Saturday mornings.
Columbus High coach Bill
Stearman had
them referee to
get some exer-
cise and sharp-
en their knowl-
edge of the
rules. Welmer
liked officiating
so much that
when he went to
the University
of Evansville in
Evansville, Ind.,
to play basket-
ball, he refereed intramural games
two nights a week for $5 a game.
During his freshman year at
Evansville, Welmer finished fifth in
the country with a 29.7 points per
game average. In his junior year, he
led Evansville to the 1971 NCAA
Division II National Championship
with 19.7 points and 12.6 rebounds
per game.
It wasnt quite like playing at
UCLA, but when you played at the
University of Evansville in Division
II back then, everywhere we went
people hated us, Welmer said. If
a Division II school beat Evansville,
their season had been successful.
Welmer, who shares being a mem-
ber of the Indiana Basketball Hall of
Fame with Larry Bird and Oscar
Robertson, among others, scored
more than
1,000 points
in his college
career and
ranks eighth in
Evansvilles his-
tory with 8.2
rebounds per
game. He was
inducted into
the Evansville
Hall of Fame in
1986 and held
the schools sin-
gle game and career field goal record
for 19 years.
After graduation, Welmer played
two years in the International
Basketball League before working
with his father at a beer distributing
company. During his spare time,
he made extra money by refereeing
high school games, including three
state finals by age 34.
It was a way to stay around the
game and make a few extra bucks,
Welmer said. Low and behold, it
just grew to what it is now.
Welmer worked his first Division
I game in 1981 at the University
of Dayton and began what would
become a life-long career as one of
the top officials in the business.
THE DAILY GRIND
Welmers schedule is arguably as
busy as any referee in the history
of officiating, working 124 games
in 145 days during this past season.
Welmer called games 16 days in a
row early in the season, took two
days off, then worked another 16
days in a row. Welmer officiated
32 games in 34 days leading up to
Christmas break.
After three days to spend the
holidays with his family, Welmer
then began another string of 15
consecutive games.
They call me kind of a freak,
Welmer said, referring to his frantic
schedule.
Welmer has a daily routine he
must follow to arrive at the next
game on time and be rested enough
to run up and down the court with
well-conditioned college athletes.
He wakes up each morning at
4:30 or 5 to catch the first flight out
of town to get to his next city.
Ive found out in all of my travels
that if you run into bad weather, usu-
ally the planes that go out first thing
in the morning are always there
from the night before, Welmer said.
That flights going to go.
When Welmer arrives in the city
of his next game by late morning, he
grabs a bowl of soup for lunch at the
airport, checks into his hotel, turns
off his cell phone and climbs into
bed for an afternoon nap. Welmer
said he took a two to three hour nap
every day.
After awakening from his siesta,
Welmer showers, shaves and meets
fellow officials for the drive to the
arena. After the game, Welmer
returns to the hotel and munches on
a light meal.
Im not a real big eater, Welmer
said. I cant eat right before a game
or right after a game.
Welmer climbs into bed between
11 and 12 and the process begins
again the next morning when he
hears the alarm clock a mere five
hours later.
Despite being away from home
for long periods at a time, Welmer
never goes more than two weeks
without seeing his wife. If he cant
make it home, Linda travels to see
her husband so that she can ease his
muscles with a massage or to do his
laundry.
At home she watches every game
that her husband referees on TV.
Im very independent, Linda
said. I have to be.
WHEN IS ENOUGH
ENOUGH?
Though Welmer has his daily
schedule down to a science, some
coaches express concern that as
more referees such as Welmer make
officiating their full-time job, the
referees may be officiating too many
games.
Some coach-
es worry ref-
erees are too
fatigued to work
games on con-
secutive days
or dont have
enough time to
study game film
of themselves to
improve their performance.
All coaches will say that officials
work too much, Kansas coach Bill
Self said.
Referees have no limit to the
number of games they may work
each week. Because referees are paid
by the game, those who consider it
their career cram as many games
into their schedule as possible to
make more money.
We have no control over the
number of games they referee, said
Dale Kelly, coordinator of officials
for the Big 12, Conference USA,
Southland, Sunbelt and Ohio Valley
conferences. Im going to take the
most experienced guys who are
available.
ESPN ana-
lyst and former
Notre Dame
b a s k e t b a l l
coach Digger
Phelps said, I
dont think they
should work
five games a
week. I know
Im tired travel-
ing three days a week, I dont know
how these guys can work five games
in a week. I think it really wears
them down.
Former Indiana and Texas Tech
coach Bobby Knight, known for his
clashes with referees, said in his
recent book, Knight: My Story,
that referees were becoming over-
worked.
Theres no way a guy over 30
can just physically work six games
a week well, and here were talking
about guys who are over forty and
fifty, Knight wrote. Its ridiculous
that the NCAA doesnt step in and
say the maximum number of games
anybody can work in a week is
three, and even thats one too many.
Except for conference tournaments,
teams play only two games a week,
and thats kids 20 years old in excel-
lent condition with substitutes avail-
able.
While conferences said that they
didnt have enough money to pay
officials as full-time employees, crit-
ics argued that the NCAAwith its
$6 billion contract over 11 years with
CBS for the NCAA Tournament
every Marchhas plenty of money
to bring officials under one roof
and limit the number of games they
can work.
The money is there, the NCAA
has the money, Phelps said. I mean
$6 billion over 11 years and you cant
pay your officials? It has to come
down to where these guys should
not work more than three games a
week.
Legendary referee Ed Hightower,
who has worked 12 Final Four tour-
naments and officiated the champi-
onship game between Kansas and
Memphis a couple of weeks ago, has
a full-time job as superintendent of
the Edwardsville, Ill., school district.
He works three to four games each
week as a part-time official for the
Big 10, Big 12 and Big East confer-
ences and said a referee should not
be judged only by the number of
games he worked.
You have to look at each persons
performance and if that persons per-

reason to criticize him, Hightower
said. Certainly if hes working too
much, coaches will have a lot to say
about it at the end of the season.
Full-time referees such as
Welmer argue that their schedules
allow plenty of time to rest between
games. I dont think I ever go onto
the court with anything less than a
full tank, Welmer said.
Players practice every day for
two to three hours and they have
to go to class and watch film and
so forth. I get a two or three or four
hour nap every day. I can sleep on
airplanes, he said. I feel as good
right now as I did in the first of
November.
EVERYBODY LOVES
STEVE
Welmer is popular in the college
basketball world, both as a referee
and a person.
Everybody loves Steve Welmer,
Hightower said.
Asked to name his favorite ref,
Kansas senior Jeremy Case knew his
answer without hesitation.
Big Steve, for sure, Case said.
Hes cool and funny, and for some
reason, I always feel like he makes
the right call, whether it is for us or
against us.
Welmer has a reputation for not
calling many fouls, perhaps because
he is one of the few refs who played
college basketball. Instead of calling
an illegal screen or a touch foul,
Welmer may tell players what they
are doing wrong and help them
learn what is and isnt allowed.
Coaches rarely confront Welmer
about questionable calls, but
Hightower said he remembered
one instance when the two worked
together during a preseason game.
A Division II team was playing at
a Division I opponent when Welmer
made a highly questionable call that
Hightower and the third referee
didnt agree with. The Division II
coach was livid.
Steve made the call and the
other referee and I just looked at
each other and go, Holy cow, how
is he going to get himself out of this
one? Hightower said.
When the Division II coach
began to argue, a full time-out was
called that allowed the coach even
more time to let Welmer know his
frustration for the call. By the end of
the time-out, Welmer somehow had
the coach laughing, Hightower said.
Had it been one of us, we would
have had to give this guy a technical
foul and throw him out, Hightower
said. But nobody gets mad at Steve
Welmer. This is one of the worst
calls in America and we said, Lets
just see how he gets out if it. By the
end of the time-out, the coach is
laughing and everything is great.
While other referees refrain from
initiating conversations with players
or coaches during games, Welmer
often chats with players from both
teams during a break in the action.
When the kids come out on the
floor and they see that Ive got the
game, they will come up and shake
my hand and put their arm around
me, Welmer said. They know that
when they see Steve Welmer, for
the most part they are going to get
to play basketball that day and not
have to worry about little touch
fouls and so forth.
Hightower has also developed a
relationship with Welmer beyond
the court. Steve Welmer and I are
absolute best of friends; we have
been friends for years. My youngest
daughter Jennifer calls him Uncle
Steve, he said.
Even coaches known for their
tempers are fond of him. Welmer
recalled a golf outing years ago when
he was paired in a foursome with
Bobby Knight. The two were teeing
off and Knight hit a shot headed
straight for the bunker. As Knight
turned away in disgust, Welmer
watched as the ball bounced out of
the bunker and back onto the fair-
way. Welmer never forgot Knights
response when he told him that
his shot had in fact bounced back
into play.
Welmer, Knight said, it just
amazes me that you can see a golf
ball trickle out of a sand trap at 250
yards, and you cant see one damn
travel call right in front of you.
THE ELuSiVE gOaL
Despite being popular with play-
ers and coaches, Welmer has never
received the phone call that all ref-
erees wait to get.
The 34-year officiating veteran
has never been chosen by the NCAA
to work the sports biggest spectacle,
the Final Four.
Its just never happened, Welmer
said. Ive had numerous regional
championships where the winner
went to the Final Four, but never
a Final Four. Would I like for it to
happen? Obviously, Id like for that
to be a part of my career.
Welmer knows his style of offici-
ating, which players like, doesnt sit
well with everyone.
Beauty is in the eye of the
beholder, Welmer said. I am kind
of known for letting them play a
little bit. I try to work with the kids
a little bit and try to referee where
we dont call as many things. Im
not sure how well suited that is for
the NCAA.
Kelly, the Big 12 coordinator, said
I think theres probably been some
comments along those lines from
people who observe NCAA tourna-
ment games, that maybe he didnt
call as many fouls or violations as
some other officials, but during the
games that he referees for me, Steve
does a good job.
Kelly also assigns more games to
officials than any other coordina-
tor. Steve is certainly capable of
working the Final Four. He is one
of several who I hope would get
that opportunity. Its a real plum for
officials, just like players, to get to
the Final Four, he said.
Bill Self, who, until winning the
championship with Kansas had
never reached the Final Four, called
it a shame that the lovable referee
had never worked the sports great-
est weekend.
Hightower also hopes Welmer
can accomplish his goal. Im hop-
ing that someday he gets his Final
Four. Well all be happy for him
when it happens, he said.
Time is running out for Welmer,
who plans to referee three or four
more years before hanging up his
stripes and whistle. Though he may
go down as one of the most well-
liked officials ever, Welmer hopes
the final chapter in his storybook
career has yet to be written.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
SCARSDALE, N.Y. A village
clerk says a marriage license for
Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z, dated
April 4 and signed by the person
who officiated at the wedding, is
being filed with the state.
The license was received by mail
last Friday, says Scarsdale Clerk
Donna Conkling. She would not say
who officiated.
The celebrities and their repre-
sentatives had refused to confirm
widespread rumors about the mar-
riage. But there was a lavish party
at Jay-Zs Manhattan apartment
on April 4, with guests including
Gwyneth Paltrow and Beyonces
former Destinys Child band-
mates, Kelly Rowland and Michelle
Williams.

ASSoCiATED pRESS
Have you ever tried to count
how many times you complain in
one day? Ive already caught myself
29 times today. Im guilty. So lets
just make it an even 30.
I hate feeling like Im surround-
ed by complaints all the time.
Not only do we complain in our
daily conversations, but we do it
online as well.
I dont know how many times
Ive logged onto Facebook only
to see my friends statuses littered
with complaints. Personally, I use
Facebook because I care about what
is going on in my friends lives,
especially the ones I dont see every
day. The status part of Facebook is
the easiest and most efficient way
to find out new information about
friends, since you can say anything
and update it easily. Yet, instead of
finding information about whats
new in their lives I read, Billy Bob
is sick of homework or Sally Sue
is hungry. I care about my friends,
but I dont need to know every time
they have a pang of hunger or feel
sleepy.
Like Facebook, I read the Free
for All because I care about, not
whats new with my friends, but
what new information my fellow
students have to say. Often their
comments can be funny, ridiculous
or just down right true. Yet, take
a look at the Free-for-All to your
right. Im betting several of those
comments complain in some way.
In the Free for All, we can talk
about anything, yet often its used
just to grumble out complaints.
Why take the effort to call in just
to say My job sucks?
A new online service I learned
about recently is called Twitter.
Twitter basically resembles the
status part of Facebook. Its pur-
pose is to keep you connected with
co-workers, friends and family by
having you answer one question,
what are you doing? According to
Twitter.com, updating what youre
doing is meaningful to family
members, friends and colleagues.
Yet, I cant help but wonder, like
Facebook, will what are you
doing just turn into what do you
have to complain about?
The first time I ever thought
about complaining was in middle
school. The details of where I was
and why are fuzzy, I just remember
the message. My principal asked if
we had ever tried not to complain
once all day. It was the first time I
had ever thought about complain-
ing as being wrong. Since then I
dont think Ive ever succeeded in
going all day without complaining
once. With this column Ive prob-
ably gone over 50 just for today. I
bet you can do better than me.

editorials around the nation
Accusations of news manipulation
deserve to be carefully considered
Editors note: The following col-
umn originally appeared April 21 in
The Daily Gamecock and has been
reprinted with permission from
UWIRE.com
The top news item in Sundays
New York Times could prove to
be the defining story of our time.
According to a lengthy investi-
gative report by David Barstow,
military analysts at every major
television news network have been
providing glowing reports of the
Iraq war with less than honest
intentions.
In case you havent yet had the
chance to read the article, heres
the gist: The networks, desper-
ate for inside views on military
actions, have hired retired military
officers to provide commentary on
air. The Pentagon, picking up on
an opportunity to give the war a
positive spin, has allegedly hand-
picked at least 75 of these key
commentators to meet with the
higher-ups and essentially act as
government puppets.
Heres how: According to
the NYT, the group of analysts
is heavily represented by men
involved in the business of helping
companies win military contracts.
Supposedly, their aired opin-
ions directly impact whether the
Pentagon supports their business
prospects, and neither they nor
the networks are straightforward
about this connection.
Also, these analysts are often
paid by the networks according to
the number of appearances they
make, meaning that fresh inside
scoops become valuable com-
modities. Analysts have testified
that they were denied access to
Pentagon officials as a result of air-
ing unfavorable opinions.
In an imbroglio of this scale,
its best to digest the facts in their
entirety. Read the article (all of it).
Peruse the accompanying docu-
ments. The evidence is not quite
damning, but it raises unsettling
questions about the state of our
nations democratic values.
Nobody was expecting these
retired generals to bash the U.S.
military-they have, after all, devot-
ed much of their lives to its service.
And nobody can fault the Pentagon
for trying to keep itself in high
esteem.
But if information is being
willfully manipulated, and if our
government is exploiting business
interests to sway media portrayal,
there are serious First Amendment
issues at stake.
This is not like the blatant,
heavy-handed propaganda prac-
tices of North Korea. This is not a
Soviet-style control scheme. If Mr.
Barstows allegations are proved
true, then our government is guilty
of a much subtler deceit.
Public relations should be
handled through public relations
specialists, not through talk-
ing heads presented as unbiased
expert sources. It is inherent in
our Constitutional foundation
that the U.S. government should
be open and responsive to its citi-
zenry. Instead, it would appear that
our leaders are carefully distorting
the facts we receive about their
actions.
The existence of an intricate
warmongering-profiteering com-
plex sounds admittedly like the
stuff of a left-wingers conspiracy
theory. But regardless of politi-
cal affiliations or opinions on the
justification of the Iraq war, this
developing story should be fol-
lowed with openness and sobriety.
In the upcoming days, there will
no doubt be a flurry of media
responses and press conferenc-
es. Pay careful attention to what
Pentagon spokespeople have to say,
and weigh their statements against
the evidence stacked in opposi-
tion.
And, as always, beware of bias
from Fox News to The Times
itself.

approved using torture in
the interrogation of terror
suspects after asking the
Justice Department to
endorse their legality.
Those involved in the
meetings, which were
held in the White House
Situation Room, asked the
Justice Department to le-
gitimize the interrogation
techniques they approved.
The political manipulation
of the department has been
a recurrent theme of the
Bush administration.
Justice responded by
issuing at least two memos
between 2002 and 2003
that said the torture was
legally justifed.
Both legal opinions were
withdrawn later after they
were exposed in the news
media.
Ashcroft a conserva-
tive icon and a key support-
er of the USA Patriot Act
was said to be troubled
by the meetings.
Why are we talking
about this in the White
House? he was quoted
as saying. History will not
judge us kindly.
He is absolutely right.
Long after the Bush ad-
ministration is history, our
nation will continue to be
tarnished by its record of
disregard for the rule of law
and human rights.

mens basketball team players
Brandon Rush and Darrell
Arthur have announced they
will be eligible for this years
NBA draft.
I for one am happy. Yes, I
know. The Jayhawks lose a lot
in Rush and Arthur, specifcally
scoring as both were two of
the teams leading scorers. But
I am confdent Coach Bill Self is
bringing in some new guys to
uphold Kansas basketball tradi-
tion. Ive been hearing a lot of
people say they were surprised
both guys are moving forward

WASHINGTON Hillary
Rodham Clinton survived yet
another day.
There will be little time for cel-
ebration, though. Time and money
are running out.
Her win Tuesday in the impor-
tant swing state of Pennsylvania
was hard-fought. Barack Obamas
well-funded effort to shut her
down did not reach its goal of an
upset.
The dynamics of the race are
the same as theyve been for more
than two months. Obama is the
front-runner, and California-
based Democratic consultant Dan
Newman points out that is more
important the closer the campaign
comes to the end of the primary
season.
Hes content to essentially run
out the clock with his narrow lead,
while she needs something dra-
matic to happen, Newman said.
A one-run advantage in the first
inning isnt a big deal, but a one-
run lead in the ninth looms large.
Clinton now faces a dwindling
number of contests, and shes at
a steep financial disadvantage.
Obama already is spending twice
as much on ads airing in North
Carolina and Indiana, the two
states that come up next, with
primaries on May 6. Cliton will
have to either persuade donors to
give her more money to sustain
her long-shot bid or float herself
another multimillion-dollar loan.
In Pennsylvania, Clinton won
with the support of whites, women
and older voters, according to exit
polls conducted for The Associated
Press and the television networks.
Underscoring the races excite-
ment, more than one in 10 voters
Tuesday had registered with the
states Democratic party since the
beginning of the year. And about
six in 10 of them were voting for
Obama. About a quarter of the
days voters reported having decid-
ed within the past week, and about
six in 10 of them backed Clinton.
She found reason for optimism
in the victory that came even
though Obama outspent her 3-to-
1 in the state.
He broke every spending
record in this state trying to knock
us out of this race, Clinton told
her cheering supporters. Well, the
people of Pennsylvania had other
ideas tonight.
Of the states left, the biggest
prize is North Carolina, a state that
both sides are predicting Obama
will win. Clinton dispatched one of
her top state organizers, California
and Texas veteran Ace Smith, to
North Carolina in an effort to get
every vote she can. Obamas also
expected to win Oregon and South
Dakota.
So where can she look for vic-
tory? West Virginia and Kentucky
are likely Clinton wins, but they
offer fewer than 100 delegates
combined. She also has a chance in
Guam, Puerto Rico, Montana and
Indiana. But none of them is likely
to give her a big enough margin to
put her over Obama.
To win, she needs to convince
voters that Obama is not elect-
able in November even though hes
ahead in the delegate race.
She needs a big influx of cash.
She needs a shocking change of
fortune.

NEW YORK Cabbies here
complain their take-home pay is
thinner than it used to be. Trucking
companies across the country are
making drivers slow down to con-
serve fuel. Filling station owners
plead that the skyrocketing prices
arent their fault.
And the rest of us? With gas
prices now averaging $3.50 a gallon
nationwide, according to AAA and
the Oil Price Information Service,
more and more Americans who
have to drive are weighing the need
for each and every trip.
To get to the doctors and all
that, its an awful lot of money, said
Carol Licata, a 75-year-old retiree
from Arnold, Pa., who said a larger
portion of her fixed income is now
going toward gas.
And everyone, it seems, is more
than willing to join in the griping.
Bottom line, we cant afford it
no more, man. Its too much, Bak
Zoumane said as he filled up his
yellow cab at a BP station in mid-
town New York.
But this year prices are rising
even faster than normal, experts
say, because of the massive jump
in benchmark crude prices, which
spiked to a record $117.76 a barrel
Monday before settling a record
settlement price of $117.48.
Those soaring prices are putting
added strain on refiners and filling-
station operators, which are strug-
gling to pass the higher feedstock
costs onto consumers. So even as
drivers pay more, retailers _ the
most public face of the oil business
_ are getting increasingly squeezed.
The farther you get from the
wellhead, the greater the misery,
said Tom Kloza of the Oil Price
Information Service in Wall, N.J.
Theres a lot of stations across the
country that are literally on the
brink of bankruptcy.
Samer Katib, the manager of a
Marathon station in Chicago, said
business has fallen at least 30 per-
cent this year because customers
are cutting back on driving and only
using their cars when absolutely
necessary.
Its just go to your work and go
home, he said of peoples driving
habits these days, adding that cus-
tomers no longer stop in for profit-
fattening drinks like they used to.
Other businesses are getting
pinched as well.
Mitch Goldstone, who owns
a photo-scanning shop in Irvine,
Calif., said he began giving out gas
cards Monday to encourage peo-
ple to shop after noticing a sharp
decline in customer traffic _ some-
thing he attributed to soaring gas
prices.
AAA figures show California has
higher prices than anywhere in the
country, with regular now selling
for an average of $3.86 a gallon.
Its a mess here, Goldstone said.
People just are not shopping and
everyones trying to figure out a way
to get people back in their cars.
Diesel prices are rising even
higher than gasoline, putting pres-
sure on trucking and other shipping
companies that use the fuel to trans-
port goods around the country.
ATA Chief Economist Bob
Costello said fuel has now surpassed
labor as the trucking industrys big-
gest cost, prompting some compa-
nies to install devices that prevent
drivers from speeding. Companies
are also shelling out for auxiliary
power units and offering bonuses
to drivers who cut down on idling
and operate their trucks more effi-
ciently.
Every little bit helps, he said.

WICHITA Twenty-one days served as
an intermission, but the major actors from
Kansas first meeting with No. 14 Wichita
State picked up right where they left off
Tuesday night.
Just as a refresher, those main players when
the Jayhawks and Shockers played April 1
were Kansas sophomore left-hander Shaeffer
Hall, senior right fielder Ryne Price and
Wichita State right-hander Tyler Fleming.
Once again, Hall fell far short of a quality
start and Price provided most of the offense
for Kansas while Fleming stymied the rest of
the Kansas lineup.
One big inning was all Wichita State need-
ed, scoring six runs in the fourth, to complete
its season sweep of Kansas with a 6-4 victory
at Eck Stadium. With the win, the Shockers
improved to 31-7 on the season and extended
their winning streak to five games against the
Jayhawks, who dropped to 25-19 on the year.
Its frustrating to lose any game. I dont
look at it as anything different than losing to
anybody, senior left fielder John Allman said.
We just had one inning where it kind of got
away from us and that happens in baseball.
Hall shut the Shockers out an inning lon-
ger Tuesday night than he did in his first start
against them, when they jumped on him in
the third, but this time around was even more
brutal.
In sending 11 hitters to the plate in the
fourth, six Shockers tagged hits off Hall,
including two infield singles by center fielder
Ryan Jones, as they burst ahead, 6-1.
Hall walked two more batters in the
inning and was pulled with two outs. In 3
2/3 innings, Hall (2-2) surrendered eight hits
and walked three and all six runs he allowed
were earned.
He got behind in the count, Price said.
Hes not quite firm enough to get behind in
the count and then have to use his fastball in
fastball counts.
Senior right-hander Hiarali Garcia got
Kansas out of the fourth and locked down the
Wichita State offense the next three innings,
but the Kansas offense was no match for
Wichita States one big inning.
The Jayhawks jumped out to an early lead
with a run in the third, but ran themselves out
of additional runs in the inning.
Freshman designated hitter Jimmy Waters
led off the inning with a walk, but when
senior center fielder Casey Larson doubled
to right field, where Shocker Mitch Caster
started for the first time and bobbled the ball,
coach Ritch Price noticed the relay was lined
up with second base, so he waved Waters
home. But with a quick relay and a poor turn
around third by Waters, Wichita State nabbed
him at the plate.
Price said he wanted his players to play
more aggressive offensively and that play was
a reflection of that approach. Kansas didnt
leave the inning empty handed, though, as
Allman drove Larson in with a single to left
to put the Jayhawks up, 1-0. The inning ended
when Allman was thrown out after taking a
wide turn at first.
Allman made up for the baserunning mis-
take in the sixth, sending his fourth home run
of the season just over the left field wall and
cutting the deficit to 6-2. The next inning,
with a runner on, freshman third baseman
Tony Thompson cut further into Wichita
States lead with a two run blast to left field. It
was his third home run of the season and it
brought the score to 6-4.
Allman and Ryne Price led the Kansas
offense, each going 2-for-4 and accounting for
two-thirds of the Jayhawks hits.
Tyler Fleming (3-1) kept the Kansas bats in
check, striking out three in four innings while
giving up one run before he exited the game.
He pitched the final 1 1/3 of Wichita States
first meeting with Kansas, striking out three
of the five batters he faced.
Lost in Halls lackluster start was a brilliant
performance by the Kansas bullpen. In 4 1/3
innings, Garcia and Marcin struck out two
and allowed just one hit and one walk, keep-
ing the Shockers off the board.
Price was especially happy with Marcins
performance. Halfway through last season
he struggled just to throw strikes, so eventu-
ally he stopped appearing in games. Tuesday
was just Marcins 10th appearance of the sea-
son, but Price said sophomore right-hander
Marcin told him a few weeks ago that some-
thing clicked in his head and he was ready to
pitch regularly again.
Thats the best Hiaralis pitched in the
two years hes been at KU, Price said. And
my boy Thomas Marcin has the best arm in
our program and we think hes through his
throwing problem now. We wanted to get him
into a big time environment to see if he could
walk back out there and be as good as his
bullpens were. For me, that was the highlight
of the night.

Two of the Jayhawks stars shined in
Tuesday nights instate battle at Wichita
State, but that wasnt enough. Even though
both senior right fielder Ryne Price and
senior left fielder John Allman excelled,
the No. 14 team in the nation defeated the
Kansas Jayhawks 6-4.
Price started his first two at bats with
two hits and two stolen bases against the
Shockers. Prices average climbed to .335
and he increased his total of steals to seven
on the year.
Price repeated the excellent performance
he showed when the Jayhawks first met the
Shockers this season on April 1. Kansas
lost 7-3, but Price was accountable for two
of those runs when he scored his seventh
home run of the season.
Allman was the other Jayhawk who was
on the attack from behind the plate. With
the teams best batting average at .358,
Allman went 2-4 with a home run and two
RBIs.
I was 2-0 and the guy has a good arm,
so I was looking for a fastball, Allman said.
I got a good pitch and tried to put a good
swing on it and I got lucky.
Allman has had an outstanding season
from behind the plate so far and has been
on par with his com-
petition. When Kansas
faced Nebraska, the No.
8 team of the country,
last weekend, Allman
had two hits in every
game. Allman was 8-18,
with four RBIs, a triple
and a home run, in the
last four games, which
were played against the
No. 8 and No. 14 teams
in the nation.
Its nice to see him
back to putting the ball in play with two
strikes, coach Ritch Price said. I still feel
like he is chasing too many balls down out
of the zone, but when he is hitting good
pitches, he can really square the ball up as
good as anyone in the nation.
The Jayhawks two leading hitters com-
bined to go 4-8 Tuesday night. On the
year, Allman and Price have led the team in
batting average with .358 and .335, respec-
tively. While these feats are nice, Price
has already captured the Kansas career
home runs record with
33. The pair still has
enough of the season
left to do more damage
to the Kansas record
books and have been
stepping it up against
tough foes.
I feel OK, we are
not winning and I
would rather go ofer
and us win, Allman
said. I am really just
trying to do what I can
for the team to win.
Kansas will ply host to Kansas Wesleyan
tonight at 6 and will look to ignite some of
the other bats in their lineup.

The University of Kansas soft-
ball team dished out some revenge
against UMKC on Tuesday. After get-
ting swept in the past two series, the
Jayhawks retaliated with a sweep of
their own.
Coach Tracey
Bunge said it was
good for the team
to have that success
after a rough week.
We needed to get
back on our feet
and feel a little bit
better about our-
selves, Bunge said.
The team earned a 10-2 run-rule
victory in six innings in the first game.
Sophomore pitcher Sarah Vertelka
surrendered two
runs in the first
inning and held
UMKC scoreless
the rest of the
way. After back-
to-back shutout
losses, a number
of Jayhawks got
hot offensively.
Senior left fielder
Betsy Wilson hit
a three-run home
run; her fourth of
the season, and
freshmen right
fielder Liz Kocon
and catcher
Brittany Hile and junior third base-
man Val Chapple had multiple hits and
at least one RBI.
After those two shutout losses,
Bunge said she was happy to see some
hitters get back in stride and gain some
momentum. Were going to need to
obviously build on what we did today
offensively, Bunge said.
The Jayhawks won the second
game 7-0. While the scores might not
reflect it, the second game of the night
was a much more lopsided KU vic-
tory. Freshman pitcher Allie Clark and
junior pitcher Valerie George com-
bined to allow only one hit in seven
innings. Eight different Jayhawks had a
hit in the game, including Chapple and
junior shortstop
Stevie Crisosto,
each hitting a
home run in the
contest. Chapple
and junior center
fielder Dougie
McCaulley each
stole a base.
Bunge said it
was good hav-
ing Vertelka and
Clark get the vic-
tories on Tuesday
night, since they
dont get that
many opportuni-
ties. Both Clark
and Vertelka needed it for confidence
reasons and both of them came out
and did a nice job for us, Bunge said.
The team returns to Arrocha
Ballpark on Thursday for a double
header with Wichita State.
Bunge said Wichita State is a team
that has been very erratic over the
season. Theyve been a much better
home team than a road team, said
Bunge. So the team will happily return
to Arrocha Ballpark to take on the
Shockers.

PHILADELPHIA Alex
Ovechkin took a perfect lead pass
from Viktor Kozlov, split two
defensemen at center ice and broke
free.
There was nothing goaltender
Martin Biron or any of the Flyered-
up, orange-clad fans who taunted
Ovechkin throughout the series
could do to stop Alexander the
Great.
With the season on the line for
the Washington Capitals, Ovechkin
delivered. He scored twice in the
third period to lift the Capitals to
a 4-2 win over the Philadelphia
Flyers on Monday night and sent
the series back to Washington for
Game 7.
Its Hollywood here and the
script said he wins the game,
Capitals owner Ted Leonsis said.
In Mondays other NHL playoff
game, Montreal defeated Boston 5-
0 to take the series in seven games.
Now the Capitals have a chance
to become the 21st team in league
history to come back from a 3-
1 deficit and win a best-of-seven
series. Theyve won a Game 7 only
once before, beating the Flyers on
an overtime goal by Dale Hunter
20 years ago.
Ovechkin, who scored 65 goals
in the regular season, hadnt put
one past Biron since Game 1.
Everywhere he went on the ice, the
Flyers surrounded him.
Finally, he was alone.
Following a flurry of shots by
the Flyers, Kozlov got the puck in
Washingtons zone and fired a pass
up ice. The speedy Ovechkin took
it in stride, skated between Lasse
Kukkonen and Braydon Coburn
and beat Biron to give the Caps a 3-
2 lead 2:46 into the third period.
That 2-0 lead the Flyers once
had was history.
I dont have lots of chances
to go, so I just kind of shot it,
Ovechkin said. I think of what I
have to do and I just do my own
thing.
A delirious Ovechkin pumped
his arms and leaped into the bench
to celebrate with his teammates
while the sellout crowd fell silent.
Eight minutes later, Ovechkin
ripped a one-timer past Biron to
give the Caps a two-goal cushion
and completely quiet the raucous
fans.
Great players find a way and
Alex did it tonight, Capitals center
Brooks Laich said. With Alex, its
not a matter of if, its a matter of
when.
The Capitals need Ovechkin
at his best again Tuesday night.
Despite winning two straight to
even the series, theyre not relying
on the home-ice advantage and
taking the Flyers lightly.
Weve won nothing and we
know how resilient they are, coach
Bruce Boudreau said. They had
the toughest schedule down the
stretch and seemed to win every
time.
Washington will play Pittsburgh
with a series win. The Flyers would
get top-seeded Montreal.
There is still another chance,
said Flyers center Danny Briere,
who scored his sixth goal of the
series to put Philly ahead 2-0 in the
second period. We have to forget
what happened and leave it all on
the ice over there. We know we can
win there. That is all we have to
think about.

Watching Emily Powers on the
golf course, it is easy to think the
game comes naturally to her. But
she knows it is all about practice.
Powers, the sophomore from
Quincy, Ill., leads the Jayhawks in
scoring average and has finished
either first or second on the team
in every tournament so far this
spring. Powers started the game
at the age of 10 and her life has
revolved around golf ever since.
I started playing with my
grandparents and my dad at first,
Powers said. I
took lessons
when I first
started, then I
played with my
dad once I was
good enough.
P o w e r s
grandparent s
owned a coun-
try club, which
allowed her to
get into the game early. It also
helped that her grandparents and
dad were huge fans of the game
as well.
Powers also played soccer, but
she chose to focus on golf by her
sophomore year in high school
because she understood that golf
was going to get her somewhere in
life. Her choice to come to Kansas,
despite out-of-state costs, was a
simple one. Powers came to Kansas
to play for coach Erin ONeil and
the Jayhawks.
I really loved Coach, Powers
said. I like to think of Lawrence
as my second hometown.
Powers mentioned other
schools were on her mind, but
Kansas was always the frontrun-
ner. Coach ONeil understood
what she was getting when she
recruited Powers.
I knew coming in she would be
an impact player, ONeil said.
ONeil isnt surprised by Powers
quick rise to the top of the teams
leaderboard. Powers is one of the
most experienced players on a
team that consists mostly of fresh-
men, with a few seniors. ONeil
said she could see the potential
leadership abilities in Powers, as
she has spoken to the team on
numerous occasions.
Ive tried to, Powers said of
being an emerging leader. I know
Im not the oldest on the team, but
Im there when the freshmen come
to me, helping them get adjusted.
The Jayhawks seek to make
their best finish in the Big 12
Tournament this weekend, by plac-
ing higher than
seventh.
K a n s a s
highest Big 12
finish was sev-
enth in 1997.
P o w e r s
unde r s t ands
the pressures
that can come
from having
the teams best scoring average.
Im a more go with the flow
person, Powers said, regarding
how she handles certain pressures.
Everybody has pressure to do
well, because we all want our best
scores.
Powers and the rest of her team-
mates value whatever free time
they can get, whether they spend it
playing board games, walking to a
movie or eating together.
We all like to hang out, Powers
said. But golf takes up a lot of
time.
Powers doesnt mind being an
out-of-state student. She isnt both-
ered by the long distance between
Kansas and her home in Illinois.
Its been fine. Ive actually
always wanted to be able to get
away from home, Powers said. To
get somewhat of a fresh start.
For the Jayhawks to have a great
start this weekend, Powers under-
stands what the team has to do
and what the team has the ability
to do.
We need to stay down the mid-
dle and if we have a bad hole, know
its not going to be the end of the
world, Powers said.
Powers is ready for her team to
show what they can accomplish in
a competitive Big 12 Conference.
We have a chance to finish in
the top three, if everyone plays well
and up to their abilities, Powers
said.
If the Jayhawks can accomplish
that, they may make history this
year.
