Expansion
on the way
Lied Center officials are
planning an expansion of the
building for the first time since
its opening in 1993.
The University of Kansas
announced a $1 million com-
mitment from Ross and
Marianna Kistler Beach
Saturday. The donation will go
toward the $15 million eventual
goal of the project to expand
the center.
The planned renovations
include an 800-seat theater that
will be connected to the main
theater that has 2,000 seats. The
new theater would be con-
structed along 15th and Iowa
Streets.
A 5,000-square-foot visual
arts gallery, which would dis-
play student, faculty and alum-
ni works, is also part of the
project.

LIED CENTER
Haworth set
for backup
Professors and researchers
in Haworth Hall, north of
Robinson Center, have been
worrying about power outages
for years. Although no dam-
age occurred in this case, last
weeks temporary power loss
had the potential to destroy
thousands of specimens from
more than 10 years of
research.
Only half of the buildings
backup power can only support
emergency lighting, which
would leave freezers and tem-
perature-sustaining equipment
to thaw.
The other half of the building
is expected to be hooked up to
the emergency backup power in
early April and to quell con-
cerns of Haworth occupants.
The total cost is about
$142,000, Kandi White, divi-
sion of biological sciences busi-
ness manager, said.
Money for the upgrade was
provided by the provosts office.
Backup power was not
included in the buildings plans
when it was constructed in
1964. A backup power source
was added with Haworths new
wing in 1982, White said.
Backup power is something
faculty and staff have been
pushing for at least five years.
Erik Lundquist, assistant
professor of molecular bio-
sciences, has pushed for emer-
gency power in his lab since his
arrival in 2000.
Power outages happen, and
it only makes sense to have a
backup system, he said.
Researching nervous system
development with an organism
called a nematode as a model,
Lundquist has thousands of
specimens in minus-80-degree
Celsius freezers. He said he had
12 years of research stored in
those freezers.

Power outages
threaten harm to
lab specimens
The NCAA released its Academic
Progress Rate, APR, scores of Division I
institutions yesterday. Four Kansas varsity
teams failed to meet the new score of 925,
which is roughly equivalent to a 50 percent
graduation rate.
Baseball, 864; football, 899; and
womens basketball, 780, were well below
the mark. Mens basketball hovered near
the mark with a score of 923.
Low scores for mens basketball, football
and baseball came as no surprise, as those
three sports were identified as problem
sports by the NCAA Division I Board of
Directors in January. Low scores for the
womens basketball team could be
explained.
During the coaching transition, at least
three players did not return, which hurt the
teams APR score, said Jim Marchiony,
associate athletics director for external
affairs. But, the low scores cant be pinned
on the current womens basketball staff, he
said.
We are confident that Bonnie
Henrickson will recruit and train the kind
of student-athletes who will flourish here
athletically and academically, he said.
He said the athletics department was
also not worried about the other sports
because the scores were based only on
one-year data.
We are very confident that, based on
our commitment to academics, our scores,
over time, will be satisfactory, he said.
Kansas athletics director Lew Perkins
said he was confident that scores would
improve following the announcement.
This measure of academics is brand-
new to everyone, Perkins said. Now that
we understand what the APR is and what
the standards are, we fully expect our pro-
grams to adjust to the new measurement.
The current reports are for information-
al reasons only. No penalties, which
include the loss of scholarships, will be
assessed this year. Next fall the same statis-
tics will be compiled again. Schools will
start to be penalized after two years worth
of data has been collected.
According to the data, 7.2 percent of all
mens and womens Division I teams fell
below the mark. About 50 percent of all
Division I institutions have at least one
team that falls below the mark and could
lose at least one scholarship in 2005-2006.
The problem areas remained in mens bas-
ketball, baseball and football.
The KU mens basketball team score is in
what is considered a buffer zone, which is
essentially a margin or error. The margin is
used to account for small squad sizes and
allows teams to be a little below 925.
The mens basketball teams four seniors
and redshirt junior Jeff Hawkins are
expected to graduate in May, coach Bill
Self said. The graduation of these players
would most likely increase the teams APR
score above 925.
Chancellor Hemenway said that 15 out
of the Universitys 18 programs were well
above the mark and that reflected positive-
ly on the University. The University has
more than 50 percent of its players gradu-
ating, said Hemenway, who serves as chair-
man of the NCAA Board of Directors. The
purpose of the rule ensures that teams
encourage their players to graduate, he
said.
The University took pride in itself in the
past for focusing on graduating its players,
and it will continue to take pride in the
future, he said.
We have great confidence in our coach-
es and players and the progress weve
made up until now, he said.

HALO tackles cultural stigmas
Senior Tyrone Seymore grew
up in San Diego, where most of
A Day Without a Mexican
was filmed.
Growing up close to the
border, I heard a lot about it as
a kid, he said.
Seymore said that California
would be a lot different without
its Hispanic population, but
didnt agree that only Hispanics
take the many of the low-paying
jobs.
The movie attempts to
answer the question, What
would happen if there were no
gardeners, restaurant cooks or
any Hispanics in California?
Members of the Hispanic-
American Leadership
Organization showed students
A Day Without a Mexican last
night to bring awareness of
immigration issues and to kick
off HALO Week.
HALO Week gives the organ-
ization an opportunity to hold
educational programs for its
members and the campus.
Hispanics are a big part of
the American culture, and the
movie showed the impact that
Hispanics have in the United
States, said Victor Aguilar,
Dodge City sophomore and vice
president of HALO.
This movie is important
because the majority of immi-
grants are Mexicans, and they
take a lot of the jobs people
dont want for less money,
Aguilar said.
Twenty-five people came to
the screening last night.
The film is a remake of the
director Sergio Araus short film
with the same title. The film
debuted in May 2004 at Televisa
Cine in Los Angeles with good
sales, but it did not impress the
critics.
Ella Taylor of LA Weekly
said in her review that the
movie had a terrific premise
that was mangled to a pulp,
then beaten to death and
described it as a forced mocku-
mentary. Mockumentaries are

Thousands of dollars of research rely on the elec-

Famed sphere eroding
After two years, the weather has
taken its toll on the lead sphere in
front of Marvin Hall.
During the time it has spent sitting
outside, the sphere has deteriorated
on the inside, and architecture profes-
sors dont know if they will repair or
remove it.
First-year graduate students built
the sphere in fall 2002 to promote
that years spring Art and Design
exhibition, Dan Rockhill, professor of
architecture, said.
The sphere gained a bit of fame
when it was part of the festivities sur-
rounding the mens basketball teams
trip to the Final Four in 2002 .
John Gaunt, dean of architec-
ture, received a phone call at about
3 a.m. from the police who said the
giant ball was found across
Jayhawk Blvd.
My suspicion is some enthusiast
and very strong man with the help
from a few beers decided to move
it, Gaunt said.
The giant sphere was supposed to
be placed inside the Art and Design
Building, located west of Budig Hall,
for its annual exhibition, said Randy
Taylor, St. James, Mo., graduate stu-
dent and one of the students who
built the sphere. But it remained out-
side because it was too big and would
have ripped up the floor.
Placing the sphere outside, howev-
er, made it susceptible to the weather,
which it was never meant to with-
stand.
The giant sphere, which took about
a month to build, is composed of ply-
wood rings and sheet rock covered by
lead triangles. It weighs a little less
than 1,500 pounds.
Theres a human fascination with
giant objects, Taylor said.
Professors wanted the first-year
graduate students to build a platonic
solid for that years annual Art and
Design exhibition.
Rockhill suggested the students
build an object using extra lead he
had, Taylor said.
The students then decided between
a cone or a sphere. They chose to
build a sphere because the cone
would have been too difficult, Taylor
said.
Two years later, Taylor said he was
not sad to hear about the sphere dete-
riorating because he has moved onto
bigger projects in the graduate pro-
gram. But he said he enjoyed building
it because it was different.
It was fun to see this giant sphere
as tall as I am, Taylor said.

Reporter recalls writers visit
Hunter S. Thompson, the self-pro-
claimed gonzo journalist, brought his
addictions and his wit to the University
of Kansas almost 18 years ago to the
day of his tragic death. The University
Daily Kansan staff reporter, Jennifer
Forker, covered the event and spent an
entire day with Thompson.
Like his idol, Ernest Hemingway,
Thompson killed himself Feb. 20,
with a shotgun blast to the head.
Author of the book, Fear and
Loathing in Las Vegas, Thompson
was known for his substance abuse
and his derisive wit.
Riding to the airport with a
University student liaison, Forker did
not know what to expect.
First of all, we spent several hours
trying to find him and get him out of
the airport, Forker said.
Forker and the liaison waited for
almost an hour because Thompson had
wandered into the bowels of the airport
where the baggage was handled.
Eventually, Thompson found them.
We didnt know who he was going
to have with him, Forker said. We
were a little surprised to see the peo-
ple he brought.
Accompanying Thompson were
famous pornographers Jim and Artie
Mitchell, and a young unnamed girl-
friend, whom Thompson referred to
as his assistant.
The University provided a limou-
sine and a car for the Kansan writer
and student liaison, Forker said.
Thompson would not take the limou-
sine and demanded the two students
drive him to the University.
Once in the car, Thompson had to
stop for liquor and food, because he
said he had not eaten in two days.
The students went to a liquor store,
where Thompson bought a bottle of
scotch, and then to Hardees for roast
beef and fish sandwiches, on which
Thompson only nibbled.
He drank nearly the entire ride back
and began acting obnoxious, Forker
said. He started squishing ketchup
packets against the seats of the car.
By the time the Kansan reporter
and KU liaison delivered Thompson
to the Kansas Union, he was a half-
hour late.
Students were yelling, and the
room was filled with, what Forker
called at the time, smoke, confusion
and more smoke.
The event was supposed to be a
speech, Forker said, but Thompson
turned it into a question and answer.
He asked for a question from the per-
son who is the most pissed off and
articulate, and whoever is the ugliest
and the meanest.
Students at the speech came with
different expectations for what they
would hear.
I kind of expected a verbal brawl,
said William Volmut, Topeka senior
at the time, in the original Kansan
article on the event.
The question and answer session
lasted for about an hour, and culmi-
nated with one audacious student
asking him why he came, and asking
if it was because of the money.
A little slowed by the booze,
Thompson pondered and then
answered the question.
No, I just wanted to come out here
and talk to you guys, Thompson said.
I was puzzled as to what the college
people were thinking.
The question would be the last
indelible memory Thompson would
leave at the University. The answer left
an impression with many of the atten-
dees.
Maybe he slurs his speech all the
time, said Jim Farquhar, Olathe
sophomore at the time, in the article.
I think he was high.
Sitting in the stands watching the
people leave, Forker remembered
that not all people felt the way she
did.
I remember sitting there realizing
that his fans loved him; they ate it
up, Forker said. He personally
repulsed me, and I didnt understand
the appeal.
After his death, Forker does not have
the fondest memories of Thompson.
Ever since the interview, people
have given me his books to read, but
I never do, Forker said.
The last wish of Thompson was to
have his remains shot from out of a
cannon over his Colorado ranch.
Thompson, then and now, epito-
mized a line in Fear and Loathing in
Las Vegas, he was too weird to live
and too rare to die.

Jackson trial begins
with bizarre story
SANTA MARIA, Calif.
Jurors were given opposing
images of Michael Jackson as
the pop stars trial opened yes-
terday the prosecution por-
traying him as a perverted child
molester and the defense say-
ing he was the victim of a con
artist who used her cancer-
stricken son to prey on celebri-
ties for money.
District Attorney Thomas
Sneddon outlined a complicat-
ed and sometimes bizarre story
alleging that Jackson showed
the boy sexually explicit mate-
rial and groped him as his
associates threatened to kill the
boys mother if he told anyone.
Sneddon said the boy, now
15, would describe to the jury
his sexual experiences with
Jackson and show that the
musicians Neverland Ranch
was a devilish lair.
Jackson, 46, sat still as a stat-
ue as Sneddon outlined the
accusations. In the front row of
the courtroom, Jacksons moth-
er, Katherine, sat beside her
son Jermaine.
Jackson is charged with
molesting the then-13-year-old
cancer patient at Neverland in
2003, plying him with alcohol
and conspiring to hold him and
his family captive.
After the nearly three-hour
opening by the prosecutor,
defense attorney Thomas
Mesereau. Jr. said the mother
of the accuser fraudulently
claimed to many people that
she was destitute and that her
son needed money for chemo-
therapy. In truth, he said, the
boys father was a member of a
union that covered his medical
bills.
Mesereau said the mother
went to comedian Jay Leno for
money and Leno was so suspi-
cious that he called Santa
Barbara police to tell them he
had been contacted and
something was wrong. They
were looking for a mark.
Mesereau said that an appeal
for help by the accusers family
touched Jacksons heart and
he took time away from his
career to help this family, not
knowing that the trap was
being set.

Bomber attacks clinic
HILLAH, Iraq In the dead-
liest single strike since the fall of
Saddam Hussein, a suicide car
bomber attacked mostly Shiite
police and National Guard
recruits lined up for physical
exams at a medical clinic yester-
day, killing 115 and wounding
132 there and at a nearby market.
The bombing presented the
boldest challenge yet to Iraqs
efforts to build a security force
that can take over from the
Americans.
The explosion in Hillah was so
powerful that the only remains of
the bombers car was the twisted
wreckage of the engine block.
Dozens of people stepped
through small lakes of blood
that pooled on the street to
retrieve shattered limbs, severed
feet and hands.
Empty shoes and sandals of
those killed or wounded were
thrown into a corner. Scorch
marks infused with blood cov-
ered the clinics walls. Morgue
workers unloaded plastic body
bags from pickup trucks as
weeping relatives looked on.
I was lucky because I was
the last person in line when the
explosion took place. Suddenly
there was panic and many
frightened people stepped on
me. I lost consciousness and the
next thing I was aware of was
being in the hospital, said
Muhsin Hadi, 29, a recruit.
The bombing comes at a time
when the Sunni Arab insurgency
is trying to disrupt the formation
of a new government set to be
led by majority Shiites for the
first time in modern history.
We must depend on the sons
of the Iraqi people who believe
in the new Iraq, and not on those
bad elements that infiltrated the
security circles and turned into a
problem, al-Hakim told the
Associated Press on Sunday.
We cant solve the security issue
unless we reconsider the internal
structure, to spot those bad ele-
ments.
Maj. Gen. Osman Ali, an
Iraqi National Guard com-
mander in Hillah, said 115 were
killed and 132 wounded in the
Hillah bombing. A health offi-
cial in Babil province said the
death toll could rise because
authorities still hadnt counted
many body parts.
The attack took place about
9:30 a.m. There was no claim of
responsibility for the attack.
Police in Babil province said
several people were arrested,
but gave no details.

Americans stress
about retirement
WASHINGTON Millions
of Americans are uneasy
about their financial
prospects in old age a
nervousness that compli-
cates President Bushs uphill
efforts to persuade them to
accept dramatic changes hes
proposing for Social
Security.
Almost half of Americans
who havent retired say they
dont think theyre getting
ready for that time in their
lives, an Associated Press
poll found.
Many say theyre not
confident theyll have
enough money to live com-
fortably after they quit
working.
People are trapped in a
dilemma, said Robert
Blendon, a polling expert at
Harvards Kennedy School of
Government. They know
theyre not saving enough.
They cant count on Social
Security and theyre not sure
these private accounts will
be better. Theyre not sure
what to do.
More than half of
Americans, 55 percent, say
they oppose President
Bushs plan to create person-
al accounts, while 39 percent
say they support it, accord-
ing to the poll conducted for
AP by Ipsos-Public Affairs.
Support for the plan drops
among Democrats and inde-
pendents when its described
specifically as President
Bushs plan.

Brownback says U.S.
must pressure Syria
KANSAS CITY, Mo. The
United States must put
greater pressure on Syria to
stop allowing Iraqi insur-
gents from using the nation
as a staging base for attacks,
Sen. Sam Brownback (R-
Kan.), said yesterday after
completing a two-day trip to
Iraq.
Brownback and other
members of a congressional
delegation met with Iraqs
top political leaders, includ-
ing interim Prime Minister
Ayad Allawi, who warned of
Syrias role.
Clearly we need to put
more pressure on Syria to
confront and capture the
guys that are doing some of
the command and control
from Syria, Brownback
said yesterday in a satellite
telephone interview while
flying back to the United
States.
Brownback was returning
the same day a suicide car
bomber killed 115 people in
a crowd of police and nation-
al guard recruits as they
gathered for physicals out-
side a medical clinic south of
Baghdad the single dead-
liest attack in the two-year
insurgency.
Syria is already under
intense pressure from the
United States and other
nations to stop harboring
Iraqi fugitives, though Syrian
President Bashar Assad has
denied accusations his
regime lets militants slip
across his nations border
with Iraq. On Sunday, Syria
captured and handed over
Saddam Husseins half
brother, one of the most-
wanted leaders of the Sunni-
based insurgency.
Despite the setbacks from
continued insurgent attacks,
Brownback said he was
optimistic about Iraqi secu-
rity forces improving and
with the commitment of
Iraqi leaders toward build-
ing a durable political sys-
tem.
Police wont confirm BTK confession
WICHITA Police say they
are confident that the arrest of a
man suspected of being the BTK
serial killer will end 30 years of
terror, and a source said he con-
fessed to some killings.
Dennis L. Rader, the church-
going family man and Cub
Scout leader arrested Friday,
confessed to six killings, the
source close to the investigation
told the Associated Press on
Sunday.
The guy is telling us about
the murders, the source said on
condition of anonymity.
Rader was being held in con-
nection with a total of 10 deaths
and the source said investiga-
tors were looking at three other
killings.
Police Chief Norman
Williams angrily criticized news
media reports and repeated the
figure of 10 killings yesterday.
These types of assumptions
and speculations have and will
continue to complicate an
already complex investigation,
Williams said.
Williams said he would ask
prosecutors if they could take
legal action against members of
the media who reported specu-
lation, inaccurate and irrespon-
sible information. But he did
not go into specifics and refused
to take any questions.
Rader, 59, was scheduled to
appear in court today via video
so prosecutors could recite yet-
to-be-filed criminal charges
against him and the judge
could review bail. It was
unclear whether Rader had a
lawyer.
Rader was being held in lieu
of $10 million bail in the deaths
of 10 people between 1974 and
1991. Police had long linked the
BTK killer to eight murders but
added two more on Saturday
after Raders arrest and said
their investigation was continu-
ing.
Prosecutors had said initially
they could not pursue the death
penalty against Rader because
the 10 murders linked to BTK
happened when Kansas did not
have the death penalty.
The source said police also
were looking into whether
Rader was responsible for the
deaths of two Wichita State stu-
dents as well as a woman who
lived down the street from
another known victim of BTK,
the killers self-coined nick-
name that stands for Bind,
Torture, Kill.
It was unclear when the
three slayings occurred, but
the source said one of them
took place while Kansas
death penalty was in effect.
Kansas restored the death
penalty in 1994.
When asked for comment,
District Attorney Nola Foulston
said, Your information is
patently false, but she refused
to say whether Rader had made
any confessions or whether
investigators are looking into
Raders possible involvement in
more unsolved killings. Police
spokeswoman Janet Johnson
also declined to comment spe-
cifically on the accuracy of the
sources statements.

PRATHER SPEAKS
Semester in France offers look
into a moderate-paced lifestyle
Allen Fieldhouse has a national reputation
for being a great venue in which to watch col-
lege basketball. ESPN college basketball ana-
lyst Jay Bilas once described Allen Fieldhouse
as the Wrigley Field of college basketball for
its unique setting and passionate fans.
During Kansass Feb. 19 overtime defeat to
Iowa State at Allen Fieldhouse, a small group
of fans crossed the line between being pas-
sionate and being classless by choosing to
boo J.R. Giddens.
Giddens, who shot 3-for-16 from the field,
was booed while subbing for fellow teammate
Jeff Hawkins late in regulation. The small
group of fans who booed obviously did not
agree with coach Bill Selfs decision to put
Giddens back in the game, but that did not
give them the right to disrespect Giddens, the
Kansas basketball team and the University.
It was embarrassing to hear Kansas fans
boo a member of their own team. What was
even more embarrassing was the fact that
people around the country witnessed this
shameless act as well.
ABC televised the Kansas game against
Iowa State for viewers in the Big 12 area
while broadcasting the North Carolina game
against Clemson for viewers in the ACC area.
Because North Carolina was blowing out
Clemson, ABC decided to switch games and
televise the Kansas game in both markets,
thus giving viewers who usually do not get to
see Kansas basketball an opportunity to
watch a game played in Allen Fieldhouse.
This unique opportunity to show the nation
how truly special Allen Fieldhouse is was
ruined by a few inconsiderate individuals.
Those individuals should realize that as
spectators they have little control over the
outcome of a game. Fans do not have the
ability to make shots, grab rebounds or play
defense, but what they can do is support
their team. Kansas fans booing Kansas play-
ers will not help the Jayhawks win basketball
games. In fact, it does just the opposite; it
gives opposing teams more confidence.
Along with being counterproductive, boo-
ing college athletes is wrong. Many fans feel
tremendous joy when the Jayhawks win and
grief when they lose. But no matter how
emotional a fans ties are with the program, it
pales in comparison to the athletes who actu-
ally play the games.
All college athletes work hard to perform
to the best of their abilities. Along with doing
the necessary academic work that is required
of any student, they also put an incredible
amount of time and effort into preparing for
athletic competition.
No one was more disappointed with
Giddens performance than himself. He is the
one who runs the sprints at practice and lifts
the weights during team workouts. Giddens
knows that his NBA draft status will be based
heavily on his performances at the University.
If fans cannot appreciate the efforts of
Kansas athletes they should not attend the
games.
Mike Mostaffa writing for the editorial board.
Your eyesight is fuzzy, your
head hurts slightly and when
you stand up, you may find you
are a bit wobbly. No, my friend,
you are not getting over the flu;
you have just wasted three hours
of your life in front of the televi-
sion, and your body is adjusting
back to what I call reality.
According to the American
Academy of Pediatrics, males
spend 29 hours and females
spend 34 hours per week in
front of the television. The same
institution states that adults
should watch less than 10 hours
of television per week.
Perhaps the most disturbing
observation is that 40-hour work
weeks are the norm for
employed adults. So, the average
adult American female spends
almost an entire work week in
front of the TV.
The above statement should
lead you to stop and think about
how much time you are spend-
ing in front of the television, X-
Box or chatting on AIM.
Modern technologies have
made home entertainment both
cheap and easy to obtain. In
fact, you dont even have to
interact with the guy at
Hastings, because you can rent a
movie from the TV.
Now, perhaps I am biased
because I grew up in a home
without video games, cable TV
or walkmans. Some may call
this a sheltered childhood, but I
call it smart parenting. I spent
much of my childhood out-
doors, climbing trees, making
pies out of sand using Frisbees
as a pie plate, building forts and
most importantly spending
quality time with my siblings,
parents and the neighborhood
kids.
This has made the transition
into adult life easy and fun for
me.
The need to be creative and
personable in my childhood has
made social situations pleasant
and creativity something I
appreciate.
My personal sentiments
aside, www.webmd.com cited
research done by Robert J.
Hancox, MD, with the Dunedin
School of Medicine at the
University of Otago in New
Zealand. Hancox monitored tel-
evision habits of youths born in
1972 or 1973. The children and
their parents reported the sub-
jects viewing habits until the
study concluded when each sub-
ject turned 26.
The researchers found that
those who watched the most TV
between ages 5 and 15 were
more likely to be overweight,
have heart and respiratory prob-
lems, have higher cholesterol
and smoke by age 21.
It is clear that health is direct-
ly affected by factors such as
these, because sitting in front of
the television takes away from
time otherwise spent doing
physical activity.
While television is a great way
for someone to unwind mind-
lessly, there are other alterna-
tives that are just as relaxing but
that require some brain activity.
Granted, as you grow older, you
gain more responsibility, leaving
less free time. There are so many
wonderful things going on out-
side of your home that both
relax and stimulate.
Lawrence has a plethora of
interesting things going on.
Jayplay lists shows at local ven-
ues where you can listen to
great live music and drink
cheap beer.
Stroll down Massachusetts
Street and walk into the one of
the cool, locally-owned stores,
pop into a restaurant or coffee
shop or take in the sounds of
the street musicians.
Cook a meal with friends and
share the reward together. Start
your walk to class 5 minutes early
and take in the beauty of campus.
You may run into someone you
know or havent seen in awhile.
Human interaction is more
rewarding than sitting at home
glued to the boob toob. Your
social network will expand, you
will learn new things, and this
could lead to anything from a
new best friend, to a future
spouse, to a career move.
And the best part about
human interaction is it can be
free. People usually dont think
back to college with fond memo-
ries of a great game of Halo 2.
It is the people and the experi-
ences that make college the
unique adventure it is. When else
in your life will you have more
than 20,000 people around your
age in a 10-mile radius?
There are so many people who
you have the opportunity to meet
and get to know.
There are tons of organiza-
tions and common interest clubs
on campus that allow students to
find a place to start and a place
to belong. The possibilities are
endless.
So, the next time you are
tempted to turn on the idiot
box be it your computer or
television stop yourself and
opt for life entertainment instead.

Anschutz Library is open all
night. Its a good thing, because
students to-do lists need more
time than the inadequate period
of day the sun allows. But now
food is fast and sleeping under
tables at the library is socially
acceptable. Sometimes a three-
credit-hour class amounts to a
30-hour work week, which is
precious time that other obliga-
tions and classes demand.
Recently, schools demands
seemed to be too much to han-
dle. After what I thought was a
premature stroke turned out to
be a panic attack, I found out I
had attention deficit disorder. In
the frenzy of junior year in the
journalism school, I couldnt
hack it. Now a magic caplet
allows me to complete a day
with all the items of my to-do list
checked-off. It feels like cheat-
ing. While theres nothing more
rewarding than a Post-it full of
checked boxes, I feel like a sick
person, and its Americas speed
of life that needs treatment.
We are bombarded with mes-
sages demanding things need to
be done fast, that we need to
find more energy within our
over-worked bodies and harvest
it for the good of capitalism. We
tell ourselves that we are goal-
oriented and dedicate our lives
to working toward a goal, often
career-oriented and money-driv-
en, when we should be experi-
encing the delight of living each
day.
Watkins Health Centers Web
site, www.ku.edu/~shs, says
that between 3 and 6 percent of
Americans suffer from ADD or
ADHD and take medication
such as Adderall to be able to
conquer a day without the dis-
tractibility and low concentra-
tion the disorder causes. We
have not enough hours in the
day syndrome, and its no fault
of ours.
My experience while studying
abroad shed light on a lifestyle
that we seem to miss out on here
in the United States.
Last semester, Paris was my
home. While I busied myself
learning the ins and outs of the
culture and became a pro at
choosing the best 1-euro bottles
of wine, I discovered how to
make hurry take a back seat in
life.
I became accustomed to
Frances extended lunch hours
and loved that I had to leave 30
minutes early to arrive anywhere
on time.
I bought tennis shoes and
managed to sleep nine hours
each night.
In Paris, the pace of life
slowed down. The French work
week was 35 hours until law-
makers upped it to 48 earlier this
month. Now the French face the
mentality that brought them
McDonalds 10 years ago.
Looking back, there is a dra-
matic dichotomy between my
life in France and my life at the
University of Kansas. There is
definitely something amiss. My
M.D. may cry disorder! and
throw me baby-blue pills, but I
say that America has the prob-
lem, and unfortunately, theres
no pill to treat it.
It is disheartening that motiva-
tion can be sold in an extended-
release capsule. The conflict I face
lies in a desire to somehow out-
fox the system so that synthetical-
ly generated motivation is not
required to succeed in my life.
But in a country where suc-
cess means a bachelors degree,
and a nine-to-five job is essential
to make loose ends unite, out-
foxing the system brings the
wrong results.
The answer cannot be to halt
the flow of Americas rapid cur-
rent.
Building that dam would be
as infeasible as extending a New
York minute. Instead, I will
keep to my own pace and not
even blink as the hurried pass
me by.

Having this additional
space, along with the visual arts
exhibit, is going to give us
opportunities for different
kinds of events, said Tim Van
Leer, Lied Center executive
director.
The planned expansion also
includes a 2,000-square-foot
education center that will be
used for master classes with
artists and teacher workshops in
the arts.
The University has not
determined if these planned
projects would continue if it
does not raise the money, Van
Leer said.
If the University raises at least
$7.5 million, the Lied
Foundation Trust will match
that amount to bring the total to
$15 million.
With the $1 million donation,
the Kansas University
Endowment Association will
help raise the remaining $6.5
million, Van Leer said.
If the University does not
raise the $7.5 million, the Lied
Foundation Trust will still
donate $5 million.
The time frame is tight, but
raising $6.5 million in four
months would be possible, said
John Scarffe, director of commu-
nications for the Endowment
Association.
Well do everything we can to
get the project moving forward,
Scarffe said.
The expansion of the Lied
Center will also benefit the
School of Fine Arts. The Lied
Center is one of the four facets
of the school. The other three
departments are music and
dance, design and art.
The new 800-seat theater
would serve as a better venue
for certain performances, such
as opera and dance, choral
ensembles and instrumental
concerts, said Steve Hedden,
dean of fine arts.
He said the 2,000-seat theater
was too large for those perform-
ances.
Chamber music is designed
for a chamber, not a large hall,
Hedden said.
The visual arts gallery
would also provide the school
with space it never had before
to display student works, he
said.
A construction date has not
been set, but the University has
until June 30 to raise the addi-
tional $6.5 million, Van Leer
said.

Losing power also means
research cant be conducted,
Lundquist said. Microscopes,
computers and other equipment
all require power to run.
The chance that a breaker
will flip and cut off even one
room worries Bill PIcking
more than the whole building
losing power.
Like Lundquist, the associate
professor of molecular bio-
sciences has years of research
packed away in several minus-
20-degree and minus-80-degree
Celsius freezers.
Theres a point where, if
youre 55 to 60 years old, and
you lose everything, you might
as well retire, he said.
But he isnt too concerned.
His minus-80-degree Celsius
chests are insulated and packed
heavily, so thawing would not be
an issue for several hours.

and pressed on with their calls
for Syria to withdraw its troops
from the country.
Syria remained silent about
the rapidly changing atmos-
phere in Beirut, where it ruled
unopposed for years, even
deciding on Lebanons leaders,
after deploying troops ostensi-
bly as peacekeepers during the
1975-1990 civil war.
But the dramatic develop-
ments reminiscent of
Ukraines peaceful orange
revolution and broadcast live
across the Arab world could
provoke a strong response
from Syria, which keeps
15,000 troops in Lebanon. It
also could plunge this nation
of 3.5 million back into a
period of uncertainty, political
vacuum or worse.
Like their counterparts in
Ukraine, the Lebanese demon-
strators took their ground and
held it they planned to stay in
Beiruts central Martyrs Square
again last night. And like
Ukraine, their movement had
trademark colors: the bright red
and white of the Lebanese flag,
waved high in the air and worn
as a scarf.
The White House welcomed
Karamis resignation, saying it
opens the door for new elec-
tions that are free of all foreign
interference from Syria, but
called again on Damascus to
pull out its soldiers.
Syrian military forces and
intelligence personnel need to
leave the country, said White
House spokesman Scott
McClellan said. That will help
ensure that elections are free
and fair.
In one sign Syria has no
intention of just packing up
and leaving, Syrian President
Bashar Assad said in remarks
published yesterday that there
will be a price for Syrian troop
withdrawal: a settlement with
Israel.
Under a technical point of
view, the withdrawal can hap-
pen by the end of the year,
Assad told the Italian newspa-
per La Repubblica. But under a
strategic point of view, it will
only happen if we obtain serious
guarantees. In one word:
peace.
At first glance, the resignation
of Karami and his government
was a huge victory for the oppo-
sition, united by dislike of the
Syrians, the Syrian-backed gov-
ernment and the drive to find
those who killed former Prime
Minister Rafik Hariri two weeks
ago. Many blame Syria for his
assassination.
A series of protests have
shaken Lebanon since Hariri,
the nations most prominent
politician, was killed by a bomb
in Beirut Feb. 14. Sixteen others
also died.
The government may have
stepped down, at least in part,
in hopes of quelling the
unprecedented anger at Syria
and its allies in Lebanon.
Despite the resignation,
Damascus remains the major
player in Lebanon: aside from
its troops, it has powerful allies,
including the president, the
intelligence services and the
military.
President Lahoud quickly
accepted the resignation of
Karamis 4-month-old Cabinet
which replaced Hariris gov-
ernment and asked Karami to
stay on in a caretaker capacity
until a new government formed.
Opposition leaders a
diverse group of Muslim, Druse
and Christians demanded a
neutral government to organize
parliamentary elections this
spring.
Druse opposition leader
Walid Jumblatt said Lebanon
cannot wait for peace to be
achieved in the Middle East
and demanded a speedy troop
withdrawal.
The State Departments annu-
al report on human rights abus-
es around the world, released
yesterday, called the events in
Lebanon a Cedar Revolution
a moniker that brings the
country in line with
Czechoslovakias Velvet
Revolution, Georgias Rose
Revolution, and Ukraines
Orange Revolution.
Yesterdays demonstration
came exactly two weeks after
Hariris slaying.

Judge rules against
prescription refusal
MADISON, Wis. A Roman
Catholic pharmacist who
blocked a womans attempt to
fill a prescription for birth con-
trol pills should be reprimanded
and required to attend ethics
classes, a judge ruled yesterday.
Administrative Law Judge
Colleen Baird recommended
the punishment for Neil Noesen
of St. Paul, Minn., who said it
would be a sin under his reli-
gion to provide a contraceptive.
He refused in July 2002 to fill
the womans prescription him-
self or transfer it to another
pharmacy.
Noesens attorney, Krystal
Williams-Oby, said the finding
was unfair to her client and
other pharmacists who have a
personal objection to dispens-
ing birth control. She said
Wisconsin law does not
address the issue, nor do state
rules established by the
Pharmacy Examining Board.
What the state is doing is
holding my client to a standard
that does not exist, she said.

Kansas seeks revenge
Bad memories are tough enough to get over,
but defeats are even more of an emotional bur-
den.
The womens basketball team (12-14, 5-10 Big
12) will have to overcome both when visiting
Iowa State for tonights 7 p.m. contest.
Lurking in the past is a 70-37 home drubbing
issued by the Cyclones (21-5, 11-4 Big 12) Jan. 12.
Complete domination by Iowa State had Kansas
on the verge of matching its lowest point total in
program history, a footnote that was avoided with
a basket at the end of the second half.
And then there is the Jayhawks most recent
game, a 73-46 defeat at the hands of the Wildcats
Saturday.
In both contests, Kansas received knockout
runs in the early minutes and recovered neither
time. Responding to the Cyclones spurts will be
essential in staying with the Big 12 Conferences
highest scoring squad.
If we get down, weve got to make runs, jun-
ior guard Erica Hallman said. Weve got to try to
answer their runs.
Iowa State presents a threat with quick scor-
ing. The Cyclones lead with the league lead in
field goal percentage and rank second in three-
point accuracy.
Leading the Cyclones attack is senior guard
Anne ONeil, who scores 16.7 points per game
and put up 18 in the seasons first meeting. ONeil
also is the conferences top long-range assassin,
making 51 percent of three-point attempts.
Senior forward Katie Robinette and senior
guard Mary Fox form the other two tips of the
Cyclones three-pointed spear. Fox currently is
third in the Big 12 three-point rankings and adds
nearly 11 points a contest. Robinette anchors the
inside game with 15 points a game.
These three seniors will be playing their final
regular season home game in Hilton Coliseum,
and Senior Night is sure to be an poignant night

Senior Night
offers Lee a
starting role
Tomorrow nights Sunflower Showdown
against Kansas State could not have come at a
better time for Kansas coach Bill Self. He has the
excuse of being able to insert senior guard Mike
Lee into the starting lineup in favor of sophomore
small forward J.R. Giddens, but Self wont say its
an excuse.
Its Senior Night.
Self announced at his Monday press confer-
ence that Mike Lee would indeed get the nod over
J.R. Giddens, but he did not specify if this change
was for Senior Night purposes or was due to
Giddens lack of production.
Kansas Senior Nights have always allowed sen-
iors, including walk-ons and seldom-used
reserves, to get into the starting lineup. Lee is nei-
ther seldom-used nor a walk-on. He doesnt war-
rant a courtesy start, only to be pulled off the floor
seconds into the game, as senior starters have in
the past.
Lee deserves this start not because its his turn
to soak up the senior limelight, but because he
outplayed the increasingly less effective Giddens
in Kansas 81-79 victory against Oklahoma State
Sunday.
Mike was a serious factor in the game yester-
day, Self said.
Lee played 22 minutes against the Cowboys,
scored seven points on 3-for-4 shooting, grabbed
one rebound, had two assists and made one steal
while not turning the ball over.
Giddens, on the other hand, played just 18
minutes and scored zero points on 0-for-3 shoot-
ing that included 0-for-2 from behind the arc. He
missed his best scoring opportunity from the free-
throw line on a one-and-one attempt in the first
half. He grabbed one rebound, made three assists
and got two steals, but he also committed two
turnovers.
If Mikes playing like he played yesterday,
Mike needs to be in the game regardless of how
J.R.s playing, Self said. Mike needs to get his
minutes, so that would certainly cut down on
J.R.s minutes as well.
In each of the last four games, Giddens pro-
ductivity and playing time has decreased. He has
shot 10-for-38, or 26 percent, from the field and 5-
for-25, or 20 percent, from three-point range,
while averaging 6.25 points per game over that
time period. Giddens has not reached double fig-
ures in scoring since the victory against Colorado
on Feb. 12 when he scored 11.
Giddens confidence is clearly shaken. He has
only attempted nine shots, including five three-
pointers, in the last two games.
Right now hes in one of those ... slumps not
the right word, but hes in kind of a drought by his
standards in the last two or three weeks, Self
said.
Giddens isnt playing like a guy who expects to
be an NBA lottery pick after this season. His
recent performances have been atrocious and
Sundays game probably didnt help his case in
front of 24 NBA scouts.
All season Self has used a what have you done
for me lately? lineup that used different players
during stretches when they were most effective.
He was able to get much needed production
out of freshmen Alex Galindo, C.J. Giles and
Players get focused,

Players prepare
for Senior Night
A Final Four, a National Championship game
and an Elite Eight: Thats a heck of a resume for
any college basketball player. Add four college
degrees, which they will all receive in May, and
the result is something that is practically obsolete
in college athletics today.
Wayne Simien, Keith Langford, Aaron Miles
and Mike Lee can say theyve done all of that. As
they suit up for their final game in Allen
Fieldhouse tomorrow night, they will epitomize
whats good about college basketball.
If Kansas defeats Kansas State, is will be one
game away from adding an outright Big 12 cham-
pionship to that list.
Kansas coach Bill Self said there was some-
thing exceptional about each guy, but collectively
they would go down as one thing: winners. The
foursome boasts a 107-25 career record.
I think all four should be remembered by win-
ning, Self said. If you define a class by winning,
this goes down as one of the best.
They will be remembered as one of the greatest
classes in Kansas history. Over the last four years,
Kansas fans have seen these guys evolve from fol-
lowers to leaders, overcome an emotional coach-
ing change and still represent their school with
the utmost class.
When they give speeches after the game tomor-
row night, there will be tears. But more tears are
likely to come from the fans than the players.
Thats what puts these guys on the same level as
Danny Manning, Jacque Vaughn, Kirk Hinrich
and Nick Collison. The fans feel as if they have a
special relationship with them.

Swim team proud despite fourth-place finish
The womens swimming and
diving team returned to Kansas
a little discouraged after com-
peting in the Big 12
Championship Conference
swim meet last week.
Although the team had some
great performances and outstand-
ing times, they placed fourth out
of six teams, finishing behind
Nebraska, Texas A&M and Texas.
Kansas coach Clark
Campbell said he was OK with
the teams performance, but he
expressed disappointment in
falling short of third-place
Nebraska by only seven points.
I think we were all a little
bummed out, Campbell said.
We came up short. We really
missed out on a few team goals.
The Jayhawks were in third
place on the first day of the meet
after the 200 medley relay and
800 freestyle relay. They trailed
the second-place Texas A&M
Aggies by only four points.
Our team goal was to get
third, junior Gina Gnatzig said.
When the second day rolled
around, Kansas finished with a
drop to fourth place despite
solid performances by senior
Amy Gruber and Gnatzig.
Gruber placed second in the 50-
yard freestyle with a season-best
time of 22.92. Gnatzig swam the
500 freestyle and also set a
Kansas season-best time at
4:51.31.
On Friday, the third day of
the meet, Kansas buckled down
and jumped ahead of Nebraska
by 34 points. The performances
that boosted the Jayhawks
included Grubers 100-yard but-
terfly swim. Gruber swam a time
of 53.59, also considered an
NCAA A standard time.
Campbell explained that all A
standard time qualifiers would
be invited to the NCAA
Championship meet March 17-
19 in West Lafayette, Ind.
Gnatzig had another good
day as she finished sixth overall
in the 200-yard freestyle with a
time of 1:50.11. Freshman Terri
Schramka also swam the 200
free and finished ninth by win-
ning the consolation heat of the
200 freestyle with a time of
1:49.66.
We had some outstanding
swims. Allie Rubino, Lindsey
Urbatchka, Lauren Bonfe, Amy
Gruber, Miranda Isaac, Terri
Schramka, Campbell said,
and the list goes on.
So if everyone was swimming
great and pulling out season-
best times, what went wrong?
Campbell thinks that the final
day of the meet is what did it.
Nebraska, the battling con-
tender with Kansas for the No. 3
position for three days, came
out strong on Saturday night,
when Kansas needed to be at its
toughest in order to defend the
lead over Nebraska that it had
established on Friday.
Nebraska came out fired up
on Saturday, Campbell said. I
would give us a B. We had some
pretty good things going on. I
was OK with it.
But what Campbell and the
Jayhawks arent okay with is the
seven-point deciding factor
between third place Nebraska,
and fourth place Kansas that is
still lingering in their heads today.
Seven points in a champi-
onship meet is like a buzzer
beater in basketball, Campbell
said, its so close.
Despite the disheartening fin-
ish, the Jayhawks are satisfied
with their teammates. The team
had 15 NCAA qualifications,
Campbell said. Some were
NCAA B Standard, and some
were NCAA A standard.
The NCAA meet is getting
real, real fast, Campbell said.
He said that those who quali-
fied with NCAA B standard
times should be recognized even
though they probably wouldnt
get an invitation to participate
in the NCAA Championships.
Swimmers like Gnatzig, sopho-
more Jenny Short, freshman
Terri Schramka, senior co-cap-
tain Miranda Isaac and sopho-
more Hannah Bakke were
among swimmers who qualified
with NCAA B standard times.
Gnatzig said she was proud of
the team for hanging in and
swimming well over the week-
end. She didnt look at the
fourth-place finish negatively,
but complimented the
Cornhuskers on their swimming,

Former Kansas football player
shows speed at NFL combine
Former Kansas defensive lineman David
McMillan participated in the National Football
Leagues scouting combine yesterday.
The combine is a series of tests to determine
the physical abilities of potential NFL athletes.
According to the NFL, McMillan posted a time
of 4.60 seconds in the 40-yard dash, one of the
fastest times among defensive linemen. Of the
38 linemen who ran, McMillan finished second
and the best in his group.
McMillan was the only Kansas senior invited
to the combine, and his 40-yard dash time yes-
terday was better than many projected first-
round picks at the position. Georgias David
Pollack, a three time All-America selection, ran a
4.80, as did Iowas Matt Roth.
The only participant who posted a better time
than McMillan was Wisconsins Erasmus James
who ran a 4.53. McMillans time was even better
than running back Maurice Clarett who ran his
40-yard dash time at more than 4.70.
Clarett, seeking a court order to participate in
last seasons draft, unsuccessfully sued the NFL.
Two years ago, he left Ohio State amid accusa-
tions of violations of NCAA rules. Clarett was a
big part of Ohio States national championship
team.
The two day NFL draft begins April 23.

Jayhawks face Bears
in one-game standoff
After back-to-back, multiple-
game home series, the Kansas
baseball team will take on
Southwest Missouri State today
in a one-game showdown.
Kansas (12-4) has had early
success at home this season, with
a four-game sweep of South
Dakota State and two-out-of-
three wins from Northern
Colorado over the weekend.
The Bears (1-5) will attempt to
find success on the road, where
the team has played all its games.
SMS comes into todays game
after picking up two losses dur-
ing the weekend at the Southern
Mississippi Invitational. Errors
factored into a late-inning 8-7
Southern Mississippi defeat and
a 9-0 blow from Mercer.
But a rocky start to this season
does not erase recent successes
for SMS. The Bears are coming
off of a third place finish in the
Missouri Valley Conference in
2004 and a 31-28 overall record.
SMS and Kansas recruit
many of the same players, coach
Ritch Price said.
Their coaching staff does a
great job, Price said. Its two
of the games that I enjoy most in
the course of the season.
In the history of Kansas base-
ball beginning in 1879, the team
has had only 10 30-win seasons.
Two of those seasons were
under Price.
In SMSs 41-year baseball his-
tory, the Bears have completed
23 30-win seasons. Even more
noteworthy is the Bears 2003
trip to the College World Series.
Theyre a great team, said
junior outfielder A.J. Van Slyke.
I love playing those guys.
Coach Keith Guttins Bears
are led offensively by Jarrod
White, freshman infielder, who
is hitting .333 with three dou-
bles in his three starts. White
spent the fall semester at the
University of Arkansas.
For the Jayhawks, junior out-
fielder Gus Milner has led the
way at the plate. Milner is batting
at a .400 clip, complete with 10
RBIs. Sean Richardson, senior
catcher, has remained steady at
.392 with five doubles. Matt Baty,
junior outfielder, continues to be
the dominant force, hitting .388
and knocking in 18 runs.
Neither the Jayhawks nor the
Bears has released the names of
a starter, but both teams bring
depth and talent to the mound.
Right-hander Kodiak Quick
(4-0) was the projected starter,
but his two-inning appearance
in Saturday nights game took
him off of the list.
SMS pitching is led by sopho-
more Brett Sinkbeil, who was last
seasons Missouri Valley
Conference freshman of the year.
In last years two-game match-
up, the teams walked away with a
split. The Jayhawks defeated the
Bears 7-6 in Springfield, Mo.,
while the Jayhawks blew a ninth
inning 8-4 lead at Hoglund
Ballpark to lose 11-8 in game two.
Its become a really good
rivalry, Price said.
The first pitch is scheduled for 3
p.m. today at Hoglund Ballpark.

Kansas moves up the ranks,
continues streak in the polls
Kansas jumped one spot to No. 7 in the
Associated Press college basketball poll yester-
day, after defeating Oklahoma State on Sunday.
The Jayhawks appeared in their 91st straight
poll, the second longest active streak. The Duke
Blue Devils, who came in at No. 6 this week,
appeared in their 164th consecutive poll.
The Illini (28-0) defeated Northwestern in their
only game last week to remain No. 1 and clinch
their second straight Big Ten title.
The 13-week run at No. 1 is the longest since
Kansas was on top for 15 straight polls in 1996-
97. Five weeks is the longest such streak since
Dukes five-week run in 2001-02.

season when other guys were
out with injuries or werent get-
ting it done.
Now is the time to take
Giddens out and put Lee in.
Theres no risk. Lee cant play
any worse than Giddens has the
last three weeks. It could be
interesting to see what Lee could
do as a starter playing a full
game, no less than 25 to 30 min-
utes. Theres no one on this team
who wants to play more than
Lee. He works hard, never giving
less than his maximum effort.
If everybody worked as hard
as Michael Lee, this team
would be very good, Self said.
Lee has been the sixth man
for the last three years and has
done a great job filling that role.
Hes earned the opportunity to
be the fourth man, contributing
alongside his fellow seniors on
their night.
Hes been just as bit as valu-
able as the other guys, and peo-
ple on the outside dont under-
stand that because he doesnt
play as much or get as many
points or rebounds, Self said.
But he does some intangible
things that certainly give us a
chance to be good.

Its going to be a big, fat love
fest again, coach Bonnie
Henrickson said. Thats just
the way it is.
Playing senior nights has
been a common occurrence
during the past two defeats for
the Jayhawks.
First, Kansas seniors bade
farewell to Allen Fieldhouse in
an emotionally-charged 10-
point defeat to Baylor.
Then, the Jayhawks took to
the road for the series finale
with the Wildcats. A wildly
excited crowd and a pumped-
up team took its toll on the
Jayhawks, and the result was
not pretty.
Following the debacle in
Manhattan, Henrickson
stressed the importance of
ignoring the distractions of a
Senior Night against Iowa State.
No matter how many peo-
ple are there or what night it is,
weve got to bring what we can
bring, she said.
Henrickson knows the team
will play better than it did
against Kansas State, she said.
The Jayhawks fell flat on
offense to start the game and
allow the Wildcats to establish
a comfortable lead. After the
advantage was founded, the
Jayhawks folded and failed to
produce ample firepower for a
comeback.
Part of the problem,
Hallman said, was in the lack
of energy they brought into
their last outing in Bramlage
Coliseum. Without the proper
focus, the offense stalled and
gave up.
Weve got to play with more
heart, Hallman said. Weve
got to come out ready to exe-
cute a game plan.
Despite the tough memories
the Jayhawks are battling, opti-
mism still remains on a team
looking to lock up eighth place
prior to the Big 12 Tournament.
Either a Kansas victory or a
Texas A&M (4-11 Big 12)
defeat against No. 11 Texas will
secure the spot for the
Jayhawks.

TENNIS
Singles lead to defeat
Winning the doubles matches
would be the key to defeating
Utah, Frank Polito, assistant
tennis coach, said last week.
But winning doubles was not
enough.
The Kansas womens tennis
team (1-7 overall, 0-1 Big 12)
lost its seventh straight match,
falling to Utah, 5-2, Sunday at
the Wood Valley Racquet Club
in Topeka.
In the singles draw, the
Jayhawks dropped five of six
matches, with four of the losses
ending in straight-set defeats.
Freshman Elizaveta Avdeeva
delivered the lone win for
Kansas in singles, as the
Russian native blasted past
Whitney Eber, 7-5, 6-1.
I thought that Liza compet-
ed at a high level and I was
pleased with her performance,
coach Amy Hall-Holt said.
Avdeeva has won her last two
singles matches.
Kansas freshman Lauren
Hommell fell to freshman
Cheyenne Reveche in three sets,
4-6, 6-4, 3-6.
Reveche is off to an 8-1 start,
a team-best for the Utes.
In doubles competition,
Kansas secured a point, win-
ning two out of three matches.
We came out strong in dou-
bles, but we committed too
many errors in singles play,
Hall-Holt said.
Sophomore Brittany Brown
and Hommell teamed up to
knock off Elizabeth Ferris and
Allison Hansen, 9-7.
Junior Luiza Loureiro and
Avdeeva defeated Cinthia
Saucedo and Reveche, 8-5.
Junior Christine Skoda and
sophomore Ashley Filberth saw
their three-match winning streak
snapped, as they lost to Whitney
Eber and Emily Kwok, 4-8.
The Jayhawks travel to Ames,
Iowa, this weekend to face Iowa
State on Saturday, followed by a
match against the Iowa, in Iowa
City, Iowa, Sunday.

which gave them the seven-
point edge.
Nothing negative came out
of this weekend. Weve trained
hard this year, and we should
never lose sight of that,
Gnatzig said, because that in
itself is an accomplishment.
Speaking of accomplish-
ments, Gruber, the only swim-
mer to qualify for the NCAA
championship meet with
NCAA A standard times was
also happy with the way that
the team performed.
Overall, I think everybody
did a good job and came out
and swam their best, Gruber
said. Personally, Im pleased
with how I finished up. Im
really excited and pretty
shocked at how I swam. Im
excited to see what happens.
Although most of the team is
done with competition for the
year, Gruber still has the NCAA
Championships on March 17-
19 in Indiana, and shes the
only one who will go to the
World Championship Trials in
Indianapolis in April.
Gruber may be the only one
participating, but her team is
backing her 100 percent.
Gnatzig said that for the dura-
tion of Grubers training, a few
of her teammates were still
practicing with her just for sup-
port.
She represents our team
well, Gnatzig said.
Campbell said he would set
last weekend aside and look
forward to the future as he and
assistant coach Jen Fox will
accompany Gruber on her jour-
ney to Indiana.
Amy has a lot of champi-
onship swimming to do,
Campbell said, and the team is
excited to be supporting her.
In addition to providing sup-
port for Gruber, the rest of the
team is already looking into the
future and next year too.
I have to be thankful that I
do have one more year here to
come back and get best times,
Gnatzig said. Were focusing
on next year already.

NATIONAL
Coach lengthens
own suspension
PHILADELPHIA Temples
John Chaney will not coach in
the Atlantic 10 tournament as
part of a self-imposed punish-
ment for ordering rough play
by one of his players in a
recent game that resulted in an
opponents injury.
The Hall of Fame coach was
already suspended by the
school for the final three games
of the regular season. Chaney
sent in a player he described as
a goon against Saint
Josephs last week, and the
Hawks senior John Bryant
wound up with a broken arm.
Chaney had sent Nehemiah
Ingram in to send a mes-
sage about what he said was
Saint Josephs use of illegal
screens.
The Hawks and Owls could
have met in the A-10 tournament.
I believe the fair thing is for
me not to coach during the
Atlantic 10 championship tour-
nament in Cincinnati, the 73-
year-old Chaney said in a state-
ment Monday. John Bryant is
unable to play in the tourna-
ment because of the injury he
sustained last week against
Temple. Neither should I be
able to coach.
Saint Josephs athletic direc-
tor Don DiJulia declined to
comment to The Associated
Press yesterday.
Now, when we go to our
championship, it will be one
less distraction, Atlantic 10
commissioner Linda Bruno said
yesterday in a telephone inter-
view with the Associated Press.
Chaney had apologized to
Bryant and his family and
offered to pay his medical bills.
Chaney originally suspended
himself for one game before
the extent of Bryants injury
was known.
When an MRI on Friday
showed Bryant had a broken
arm, Temple suspended
Chaney for the final two games
of the regular season.
I never intended nor did
any of my players intend for
anyone to be injured, regardless
of what may have been said
emotionally before, during and
after the game, Chaney said.
But the unfortunate fact is that
John Bryant was injured. I have
taken full responsibility for my
words and actions, and have
apologized from my heart.

Panthers steal chance for title
BOSTON No. 24
Pittsburgh impressively snapped
a three-game losing streak and
made sure the Big East race will
come down to the final week-
end of the regular season.
Chris Taft had 12 points and
eight rebounds to lead the Panthers
to a 72-50 victory over No. 5
Boston College last night. That
kept the Eagles, who are leaving for
the Atlantic Coast Conference after
the season, from clinching a share
of the Big East title.
The Eagles (23-3, 12-3) could
still win the conference outright
or share it if they beat Rutgers on
Saturday. No. 15 Connecticut,
which is a half-game behind BC,
plays Georgetown tomorrow and
No. 13 Syracuse on Saturday.
Boston College won its first
20 games and attained its high-
est ranking ever No. 3
before losing two of its last three
games. Another sellout crowd
came to say goodbye to the sen-
ior class and Heisman Trophy
winner Doug Flutie jammed
with the band, playing the
drums on Johnny B. Good.

Todays Birthday. Youre imaginative,
cuddly, and strangely powerful this
year. You can find the right words easi-
ly, yet you know when to keep your
mouth shut. Timings your key to suc-
cess.
Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is a 6.
The pressure youre under regarding
finances is not a terrible thing. Its forc-
ing you to take care of details youve
been avoiding for years.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) Today is an 8.
If you're looking for assistance, ask
among your friends. You'll get either a
helping hand, a good referral, or even
both.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) Today is a 5.
The task at hand is not an easy one,
and besides all that, you aren't getting
paid nearly enough. But, its steady, so
dont complain. Besides, youre mak-
ing points.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) Today is a 10.
Theres somebody in your life you can
confide anything. This person wont
hold your secrets against you, and can
help you solve a puzzle. Talk it over.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is a 5.
Youll be moving more slowly than
usual, but its appropriate. You have
things to think about, and important
decisions to make. Take your time and
do it right.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Today is an 8.
Youre always smart, but now youre
even smarter. You can really focus in
on whatever it is that you want to
learn. Dont waste this moment on triv-
ia (unless you can win pie, of course.)
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Today is a 5.
Creative work pays well now, which is
one of your favorite conditions. Use your
brains and technology to set up an
assembly line. The more you make, the
more you earn.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Today is a
10. A truly blissful moment is within
reach. All you have to do is accept a
loving persons invitation. Dont hesi-
tate.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Today is a
5. Emotions are pretty intense, so dont
even get into it with a roommate. He
or she doesn't want to, and possibly
cant, listen to reason now.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today is an
8. Youre impatient to learn the truth,
the whole truth, and nothing but the
truth. Unfortunately, in this case, that
depends on where the witnesses were
standing. Take care.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Today is a 5.
Moneys not one of your big motiva-
tors, but its always nice to have. Youd
rather do good just for the fun of it,
but dont turn down the check.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Today is a
10. Conditions are good for bringing
up new ideas. Youll find a willing audi-
ence. Some may offer suggestions or
criticism, but dont worry, theyre inter-
ested.

Chilly drill
BIG 12 BASKETBALL
As they do on the court, each
player will contribute some-
thing different to the Senior
Night speeches.
Keith Langford said he would
speak off the top of his head.
My number one goal is not
to cry, though, Langford said.
Everyone who knows him is
certain that the guard will not
be at a loss for words.
I will remember Keith as
being clutch and cool, Self
said. Keith has a very dynamic
personality that attracts people
to him, but he is cool. He is
Freeze. Thats his nickname,
and he lives by it.
Maybe hell talk about how
he didnt want to come to
Kansas at first, and how his
mother made him come here.
Perhaps hell mention how
angry he felt after the Jayhawks
lost to Syracuse his sophomore
year, and Roy Williams left. Or
maybe, hell get up there, say
something vibrant and make
everyone laugh.
You just never know with
Langford.
Mike Lee rattled off a list of
people he wanted to thank, but
said he would just go up there
and talk.
Self said talking was what the
reserve guard did best.
Lee is the locker room
lawyer, Self said. Anybody who
thinks they can beat him in an
argument is nuts, he said.
He has a unique way of
leading people and being posi-
tive, and that is hard to do
sometimes when you are not
playing a lot, Self said
Lee has been every bit as valu-
able as the other guys, Self said.
The interesting thing is, Lee
didnt always feel valuable. He
didnt even feel wanted.
There were many times dur-
ing his freshman and sopho-
more years that he wanted to
leave Kansas. He just didnt feel
like he belonged. He thought
about leaving over and over
again.
Every time he felt the urge to
pack up, he turned to his parents
and Aaron Miles, his longtime
friend, for support. His parents
didnt want him to give up the
opportunity he had, and Miles
was always there to cheer him up.
After Roy Williams told Lee
he hadnt given him a chance
because he didnt act like he
wanted to be at Kansas, Lee
realized all he needed was a
better attitude.
Now, if you ask Self, Lee is
the hardest worker on the team.
Hes the first one to practice
last one to leave, always work-
ing hard, Self said. If every-
one worked as hard as Mike
Lee, this team would be very,
very good, because I dont
remember very many days
where I had to get on him about
his effort.
Its as if Aaron Miles doesnt
think about it, he wont have to
come to terms with the fact that
his last game in the fieldhouse is
approaching.
I dont even like thinking
about it, Miles said. This is a
special place, and it is coming
up Miles trailed off.
His teammates say Miles is
the jokester on the team, but the
team jokester and Kansas all-
time assist leader said he hadnt
thought about what he would
say after tomorrows game.
Kansas coach Bill Self has
plenty to say about Miles.
Aaron is ornery, fun, tough
and even when he is not playing
his best, gosh, does he try hard,
Self said of his point guard.
Miles has 917 assists in a
Kansas uniform more than
any other Jayhawk in history.
Miles has played with Jeff
Boschee and Kirk Hinrich, two
of the best point guards in recent
Kansas history, but he has still
started all but one game as a
Jayhawk. (He didnt start on sen-
ior day of his freshman year.)
It is almost a guarantee that
Kansas fans will bring countless
Big Dub signs. But the All-
American candidate wont be
looking at them.
He will be looking at his par-
ents, who have sat in the same
spot for every game this season.
When asked whom he would
thank tomorrow, Simien, whose
faith is well documented, said
he owed everything to his par-
ents and God.
The Leavenworth native said
he grew up dreaming about
playing for Kansas. He didnt
imagine that some day, kids
would be idolizing him.
If everything goes right for
him, Simien could be taken
high in the NBA draft.
Tomorrow, the Jayhawks will
wear special uniforms in honor
of the night. Self said they were
like modernized throw-backs.
Everything about the night will
be special, Self said, because of
the players who were being
honored.
In recent basketball history,
fans will point to Manning,
Vaughn, Collison and Hinrich
as some of the most memorable
players to leave the program.
Self said these four could be
added to the group.
Players
Sarah Beals, Olathe freshman, practices a lacrosse drill at Shenk
Complex, 23rd and Iowa streets, yesterday with her teammates Michelle
Archambault (right), Katy, Texas, freshman, and Laura Swick (left),
McPherson freshman. The temperature yesterday reached 34 degrees.
The Universitys womens lacrosse club team will travel March 5 and 6 to
Lindenwood University in St. Charles, Mo., for a tournament.
NFL
Teams respond
to free agency
Wide receiver David Terrell,
the eighth pick in the 2001 draft,
was released by the Chicago
Bears as NFL teams prepared
for the start of free agency
tomorrow by paring veterans to
get under the salary cap.
Terrell was joined on the
temporary unemployment line
Monday by Cleveland safety
Robert Griffith, 36-year-old line-
backer Roman Phifer of New
England, and three Atlanta
defensive players who have
been starters much of their
careers: Travis Hall, Ed Jasper
and Cory Hall.
Carolina cut 39-year-old
backup quarterback Rodney
Peete and San Diego released
defensive tackle Jason Fisk.
Teams wait for word
on NCAA Tournament
KANSAS CITY, Mo. At
No. 20, and with 20 wins
already this year, Kelvin
Sampsons team is all but guar-
anteed a spot in the NCAA
Tournament.
Oklahomas coach said he
would be surprised if the
Sooners are joined by fewer
than five other teams from the
Big 12.
The Big 12, third in the latest
RPI rankings behind the
Atlantic Coast and Pac-10 con-
ferences, already has three
locks: Oklahoma, No. 7 Kansas
and No. 8 Oklahoma State.
Lurking on the bubble for
now is Texas A&M (18-7),
which seems assured of at least
an NIT bid in first-year coach
Billy Gillispies remarkable
turnaround season.
Iowa State (15-10) is still
being discussed as an outside
possibility for the NCAAs,
while Kansas State (15-10),
Nebraska (13-12), Missouri (14-
14) and Colorado (13-13) all
could get NIT invitations if
things fall just right.
Since the Big 12 played its
first basketball season in 1996-
97, only one team with 20 victo-
ries by the end of the conference
season has failed to earn an
NCAA bid. That was in 1999,
when Kansas State was relegat-
ed to the NIT the Wildcats
most recent postseason appear-
ance despite a 20-12 record.
Drop the win total to 19, and
the chances are still pretty good
40-for-44 since the formation
of the Big 12.
Still, Texas coach Rick Barnes
said, no team can afford to con-
sider either number magic.
Of the teams hovering closest
to .500, Nebraska appears to
have the most momentum going
into the regular-season home
stretch. The Cornhuskers have
won two straight, a 74-67 home
upset of Oklahoma State and a
76-69 road victory over Iowa
State.
We want to finish the season
strong no matter where it takes
us, coach Barry Collier said.
Weve been an improving team,
even though we dont always
have the Ws to show it.

DIVISION II
Kangaroos defeat
Crusaders 80-79
KANSAS CITY, Mo.
Brandon Temple had 20 points,
including a three-pointer with
less than seven seconds left, to
lead Missouri-Kansas City to a
80-79 victory against Valparaiso
last night.
The Kangaroos (16-11, 12-4
Mid-Con) overcame a five-point
deficit in the last minute to win.
Carlton Aaron had 19 points
for UMKC, Quinton Day had 16,
and Mike English added 15.
Dan Oppland led the
Crusaders (15-15, 10-6) with 25
points and 10 rebounds. Jarryd
Loyd added 13, and Ron
Howard had 12.
Valparaiso led 42-39 at half-
time.
With a minute left, the
Crusaders led 78-73. Day then
connected on two free throws
with 55 seconds remaining to
make it 78-75.
A traveling violation on Seth
Colclasure gave UMKC the ball
with 24 seconds left, and a
drive by Day made it 78-77 at
the 18.4 mark.
Day fouled Loyd, who made
his first free throw but missed
the second. Temple then
launched the winning shot with
6.7 seconds remaining.
