STUDENT FINANCES SAFETY
Students will not have to pay an extra $10 per
credit hour for classes in the College of Liberal
Arts and Sciences next semester.
Officials of the college curbed their proposal
for differential tuition yesterday.
Kim Wilcox, dean of liberal arts and sciences,
decided not to propose the dif-
ferential tuition plan to
Chancellor Robert Hemenway
after 75 percent of students
voted against it in an e-mail sur-
vey sent out by the college.
About 1,200 students responded
to the e-mail that was sent to the
entire student body.
I think this is one of the
greatest opportunities the
University has ever had, Wilcox
said. Im personally very disappointed.
The college did not receive overall support for
the differential tuition, according to its survey
results.
Twenty-nine percent of voters in the college
supported the tuition proposal and only 25 per-
cent of voters outside of the college supported
it.
The college will continue discussions about
tuition and facilities, Wilcox said.
Right now the future is uncertain, he said.
Marynell Jones, member of the deans student
advisory board, said the work that she and the
board did over the past year would not go to
waste.
There was still a lot of education done about
the proposal, Jones, Dallas junior, said.
Students got to vote and their voice was heard so
I dont think it was a waste.
Steve Munch, student body president, said it
was a good day for students.
People were saying the student voice didnt
matter, he said. Well, yes it did because the dean
listened.
The college and the advisory board would need
to find a solution because the buildings still need
renovation, Jones said.
Wilcox has been developing the details of the
proposal for nearly a year.
He worked with his advisory board, comprised
of about 20 students, to develop the specifics of
the plan.
My initial thought was to not invest student
money in buildings, Wilcox said.
The students on the advisory board, however,
convinced him to look further into using the
money for buildings, he said.
We said all along we would be guided by the
students, and now we have a student recommen-
dation, Hemenway said.
The chancellor could still bring the proposal to
the Kansas Board of Regents in May but that
would be highly unlikely, Wilcox said.
The college will be the only school that will not
charge extra tuition per credit hour next year if
the School of Social Welfares differential tuition
proposal gets approved.

Chips catch fire
at Allen Fieldhouse
A cardboard box full of pota-
to chips caught fire in the lobby
of Allen Fieldhouse yesterday
afternoon.
The box was in a heater,
which contained various kinds
of barbecue food that Bum
Steer Bar-B-Q was going to sell
at yesterdays game against
Kansas State.
The KU Public Safety Office
and the fire department
responded and controlled the
situation quickly.
Now this is the real Phog
Allen Fieldhouse, said Jim
Marchiony, associate athletics
director.
Neil Spector, Buffalo Grove,
Ill. junior, had been at the field-
house since 2 p.m. camping out
for his group, the Buddy
Hawks. He said he knew some-
thing was wrong when the hall
started to fill with smoke in the
north end of the fieldhouse.
It smelled like someone was
having a barbecue, he said. The
oven was unattended, he said.
About 150 students were
camping out for the game.

Federal loan program in question
The Bush Administrations
2006 budget proposal recom-
mended the elimination of
Perkins loans for students in
higher education.
Perkins loans were limited
loans given by the federal gov-
ernment to low-income stu-
dents, said Barbara Maigaard,
director of Student Financial
Aid.
Tanika Seawood, Kansas
City, Kan., senior, said she
would be in trouble if the pro-
posal passed.
Perkins loans provided
Seawood with $3,128 this year.
She also received five grants and
was part of the federal work-
study program, totaling enough
money to pay for all of her
tuition, housing and book costs.
Its a tremendous help,
Seawood said. I couldnt afford
school without it.
The funds for Perkins Loans
would be eliminated and redi-
rected to other student aid pro-
grams that the Administration
finds more effective, such as Pell
Grants, according to the budget
proposal for the Department of
Education.
An assessment done by the
Department of Education con-
cluded that Perkins loans were
ineffective because larger pro-
grams, such as the Federal
Family Education Loan and
Direct Loans, had greater avail-
ability to students.
This program is duplicative
and unnecessary given the
broad availability of need-
based, subsidized, relatively low
interest loans available through
the two larger student loan pro-
grams, according to the budget
proposal for the Department of
Education.
Seawood will be the first
child on both sides of her family
to graduate from college.
She said the Bush
Administration should take into
consideration what it would
take away from young adults if
the loans were eliminated.

Liberty Hall festival includes
students diverse-subject films
The best restrooms on campus are
located on the fifth floor of the
Kansas Union, Jason Sachse,
Leavenworth senior, said.
Sachse should know hes been
in a lot campus restrooms for his
film, The Dump.
Its very clean and well-lit with
windows, Sachse said. We brought
two-ply paper special for the occa-
sion.
Sachses film, about a man desper-
ately seeking a working restroom, is
one of seven films featured at An
Evening of Local Film at Liberty
Hall.
The film festival starts at 9:45 p.m.
Monday in Liberty Hall, 644
Massachusetts St. Admission is $3.
This event is meant to show people
that there is a film community in
Lawrence, Matt Toplikar, Lawrence
senior, said.
There is a lack of outlets for film-
makers to show their works to the
general public, Sachse said.
Usually film students work is lim-
ited to showings for friends or
screenings at Oldfather Studios, 1621
W. Ninth St., Sachse said.
Film topics range from a man
spending his first night alone in an
apartment to skydiving.
Skydiving is a topic that Chris
Burket, Kingman senior, worked on for
a year with his film, Eyes on the Sky.
Eyes on the Sky is a 16-minute
collection of skydiving clips by
Burket and other aerial vidoeogpra-
hers set to rock n roll and techno
music.
Burket had to log 200 jumps
before he was prepared to film his
jumps, which he did by attaching a
camera to his helmet.
When you have a camera on your
head you need to look out for it,
Burket said. The parachute lines
could catch it.
Burket, who jumped 630 times,
wanted to show audiences a sport that
doesnt get much mainstream atten-
tion.
In addition to the short films there
will be a music video of the band 10
Hour Drive made by Burket.
If this festival is successful,
Toplikar plans to have another one
this summer in Liberty Hall.
Promotional trailers for upcoming
student films will be shown before
the festival begins.
Oh, and the worst bathroom of
them all?
Second floor Robinson, Sachse
said. It was dark, with one stall and
its walls would tip over when you
touch it.

Students not cramming
healthier food options
As an employee at The
Underground in Wescoe Hall,
Amanda Faires, St. Louis sophomore,
has seen the green Better Bites sign at
The Undergrounds entrance.
Unfortunately, because she never sees
the logo on individual items, she
never thinks about choosing a health-
ier option.
If it were more visible, Id proba-
bly get it more often, she said.
Awareness of the Better Bites pro-
gram has been an issue since the pro-
gram arrived in Fall 2003, said Ann
Chapman, Watkins Memorial Health
Center dietician. A new marketing
campaign and other improvements
will be implemented to improve the
programs visibility and its appeal to
students.
Better Bites pro-
vides healthier
eating options
to students
through KU
D i n i n g
Services, vend-
ing machines and
convenience stores
such as the Hawk Shop.
Though the program expand-
ed to vending machines and Hawk
Shops last year, student awareness is
still not where Chapman would like it
to be.
A new marketing campaign with
posters and an updated brochure is
planned for release later this spring.
The posters will target each gender
separately based upon perceptions of
health and fitness, Chapman said.
She said that she was meeting in a
few days to discuss the budget for the
program. She said that she didnt
know the programs costs and that
current budget was too small.
Better Bites products are some-
times misplaced in the vending
machines, Chapman said.
Some students have complained
that non-Better Bites foods were being
placed in slots with the logo on it.
With student volunteers, Chapman
is conducting a survey of vending
machine stocking. It will be finished
the week before spring break, she
said.
Monitoring use of Better Bites is
difficult, Chapman said, especially for
the meals offered through KU Dining
Services.
Because the program is
still a work in
progress, it is
u n k n o w n
whether stu-
dents con-
sciously choose
the healthier
meals, said Nona
Golledge, associate
director of residential
dining.
KU Dining Services does not gath-
er statistics on how many Better Bites
meals are produced.
Chapman plans to conduct surveys
about student awareness and frequen-
cy of use of the program to gauge the
Better Bites importance.
Of four students who were asked
about the program, none of them had
ever heard of the program.
Though he has eaten in The
Underground, Jordan Goldschmidt,
Wichita sophomore, never saw the
signs advertising Better Bites. But he
said it sounded like something he
would use.
I like eating healthy most of the
time, he said, if its easy to get.
There are students who are aware
of Better Bites. Whether they care
about the program is another ques-
tion.
Though he tries to eat healthy,
Anthony Hildebrand, Lubbock,
Texas, junior, said he wouldnt let a
label for a healthier item stop him
from getting something he wanted. He
said he thought most students
thought the same.
Sara Dixon, Derby senior, said
people ate unhealthy food and
needed to have something else
available. But, she said she thinks
the financial cost of a healthier meal
is a big factor of a students deci-
sion.

Lewis to hold
luau festivities
A giant palm tree stands atop of
Daisy Hill. Its giant leaves span the
width of the windows of Lewis Hall.
After a year break, the traditional
Lewis Hall Luau is back tomorrow
night.
The tradition of the Luau is at
least 20 years old, Ken Stoner, direc-
tor of student housing, said.
Funds for the event were used for
other programs last year, said Shelly
Roben-Lojka, Lewis and Templin
Hall complex director.
As a part of the tradition, a
non-alcoholic tiki bar, video
games and karaoke will be fea-
tured.
The total cost for the Luau was
$3,000, she said.
Roben-Lojka said Student
Housing sets aside $17 per person
based on the previous years occu-
pancy in Lewis for hall program-
ming.
If the residence hall was to maxi-
mize its potential about 275 stu-
dents it would receive $4,675 a
year for programming.
The hall also received $1,000 from
the Coke programming Sub-commit-
tee and $750 from the Association of
University Residence Halls for the
Luau.
The point of this is to have
strong programming for our resi-
dents so they feel a sense of com-
munity, Roben-Lojka said.
Wed like them to have some fun
things to experience while theyre
with us.
Greg Wellnitz, AURH representa-
tive for Lewis and Templin Halls,
said he worked many Monday nights
until 11 with the executive boards of
Lewis and Templin to organize the
event.
If we didnt put on these pro-
grams, it would just be a dorm,
Wellnitz said. The Luau will give
students a good idea of what its like
to live in the residence halls.
Lewis is not the only hall on
Daisy Hill to have large social gath-
erings. Templin, Hashinger,
Ellsworth and McCollum Halls
also hold traditional events
throughout the year.
Leon Hayner, complex director
for Ellsworth and Hashinger, said a
small percentage of students room
and board fees pay for the events
like Hashoween, a costume party
held in the Hashinger Hall
Theater.
All students are invited to the
free Luau. About 300 people are
expected to attend the event which
will be from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. in
Lewis Hall.

Supreme Court sifts
over religious symbol
WASHINGTON With demon-
strators shouting religious slogans
outside, Supreme Court justices
questioned, argued and fretted yes-
terday over whether Ten
Commandments displays on gov-
ernment property cross the line of
separation between church and
state.
Back-to-back arguments in cases
from Texas and Kentucky were the
courts first consideration of the
issue since 1980, when justices ruled
the Ten Commandments could not
be displayed in public schools.
Clearly reluctant to adopt a blan-
ket ban, the current justices wres-
tled with the role that religious sym-
bols should play in public life
right down to the Ten
Commandments display in their
own courtroom.
Several expressed support for a 6-
foot granite monument on the
grounds of the Texas state Capitol,
but were less certain about framed
copies of the commandments in two
Kentucky courthouses.
If an atheist walks by, he can
avert his eyes, Justice Anthony
Kennedy said in a courtroom filled
with spectators, many of whom
could be seen glancing at the
courts frieze of Moses carrying the
tablets.
Banning the Texas display might
show hostility to religion, he said.
The court ruled in 1983 that leg-
islative prayer is allowable, citing its
historical significance, but in 1992
said prayer in public schools is not
because students may feel pressure
to participate.

Sorority reports
prowler to police
Lawrence police responded
to a report of a prowler outside
the Sigma Kappa sorority
house Tuesday night.
Police arrived at the house,
1325 West Campus Road, at
around 8:30 p.m. that night
after some women in the
house reported seeing a man
outside who was looking into
the windows, said Sgt. Dan
Ward, Lawrence Police
Department spokesman.
The man was seen hiding in
bushes near the house and was
described as wearing black
clothes, glasses and a back-
pack, Ward said.
The man has not yet been
identified or located.
As of yesterday afternoon,
the police report had not been
filed, so it is unknown if police
are investigating the situation
any further, Ward said.
Shelley Hellman, president
of Sigma Kappa, said that the
police were immediately noti-
fied and the situation was
under control.

School ranks third
in research grants
Pharmacy research at the
University of Kansas has
placed the University third in
the nation for acquiring funds
from The National Institutes of
Health. Sixty-four schools were
ranked.
Ranking was based solely on
research grants from the 2004
fiscal year. The School of
Pharmacy received $13 million
in funding from the institute.
The school has been in the top
five in funding for six out of the
past seven years, said Todd
Cohen, University Relations.
The ranking shows that the
University is significant,
Cohen said. We have top flight
researchers and, although the
University has grown, we have
maintained a high standard.
High ranks can help the
Universitys ranking as a whole,
Cohen said.

Spector said most of the bas-
ketball players he saw leaving
the gym where they were prac-
ticing seemed confused.
Campers were evacuated
pretty quickly, he said.
The oven was removed from
the fieldhouse and a fire extin-
guisher was used to put out the
flames.
It looked like a camp fire,
Spector said.
Marchiony said that the
hallways and the floor would
be cleared of the smoke
between 45 minutes and one
hour.
He said he hoped fans
wouldnt realize there had been
a fire.
In the two seasons
Marchiony has been at the
University, he said a fire had
never occurred.
Two fire engines and several
police cars responded to the
small fire.
The fire department contin-
ued to monitor the atmos-
phere of the building until the
start of the mens basketball
game.

If students werent able to
get the loans, it would proba-
bly cause more unemploy-
ment because more teenagers
would not have the opportu-
nity to go to college,
Seawood said.
The University of Kansas was
given $30,000 a year for the
Perkins Loan Program, an
amount determined by the fed-
eral government for each school.
This year, the University
awarded about $3 million in
Perkins loans to 892 students.
When students pay back their
loans, their money goes direct-
ly to the school they got the
loans from and the money is
reused, Maigaard said.
We have not seen clear
detection whether or not they
are going to cancel the cur-
rent money we receive annu-
ally or if they will make us
give back all the money we
have as a result of Perkins
loans, she said.
Students are consolidating
their loans and paying them
back together because interest
rates are at an all-time low of
2.77 percent.
Maigaard said the impact
on students would be deter-
mined after it was clear what
the Bush Administration
would do with the money
from Perkins loans.
There were other viable
options for students, but they
did not have the same benefits
of the Perkins loan, she said.
Benefits such as low, fixed
interest rates, loan forgiveness
under certain circumstances
and the opportunity to post-
pone loan repayment make the
Perkins loan a practical option
for students.
The Perkins loan program is
a small program, Maigaard
said. But to those students it is
very important to their funding.
If the budget proposal
passes, Maigaard said the
Office of Student Financial
Aid would continue to pro-
vide information about other
federal loan programs such
as alternative loans and the
parent loans.
Students must apply by the
March 1 deadline each year
to be eligible for a Perkins
loan. They must also show
their need for assistance by
having an expected family
contribution to attendance of
less than $5,000. They may
receive anywhere from $1,000
to $4,000 in Perkins loans
each year.

Kline seeks details
of underage cases
TOPEKA Attorney
General Phill Kline plans to dis-
cuss today a brief he will file
with the Kansas Supreme
Court as part of his effort to
force two abortion clinics to
turn over medical records of
nearly 90 women and girls.
Kline has said he needs the
materials for an investigation
into underage sex and illegal
late-term abortions. He plans
to hold a news conference to
talk about the case at 2 p.m.
Kline is seeking records of
women who sought abortions
at the clinics during or after
their 22nd week of pregnancy.
The two unnamed clinics are
fighting Klines request, citing
doctor-patient confidentiality.
The clinics have said the
records Kline wants include
patients name, medical history,
details of her sex life, birth con-
trol practices and psychological
profile.

BTK arrest concerns suspects pastor
WICHITA The pastor of
the church whose leaders
include the suspect in the BTK
serial killings talked to Dennis
Rader in jail yesterday and told
him he would continue to be a
part of the congregation.
We are not going to cut him
off. I could tell that he was
relieved, Michael Clark, pastor
of Christ Lutheran Church in
Wichita, told The Associated
Press. He is still a part of the
body of Christ and that is
something some people will
have a hard time hearing.
Clark declined to disclose
more details of his 45-minute
conversation with Rader, citing
confidentiality as his pastor.
They spoke a day after Rader
was formally charged with 10
counts of first-degree murder in
the serial killings that had
haunted Wichita for the past
three decades.
His demeanor seemed to be
OK, Clark said. He seems to
be handling things as well as he
can.
For now, Rader remains pres-
ident of the church council
although he will eventually have
to relinquish some church lead-
ership positions, Clark said.
Since the BTK killers first
slayings in 1974, investigators
have searched for the man
who gave himself the Bind,
Torture, Kill nickname and
taunted police with letters and
packages sent to media out-
lets. BTK had been wanted for
eight killings for years, but
when authorities announced
Raders arrest Saturday they
alleged he also had committed
two other murders, the latest
in 1991.
The case has shaken Clarks
church since Friday, when
detectives arrived with a
search warrant and informed
the pastor of Raders arrest in
connection with the BTK
killings.
Clark was so dumbfounded
he asked detectives to repeat
their information three times.
He gave police a list of 10 to 15
people, including Rader, who
had access to the church com-
puter.
Rader used the computer at
least once, when he printed out
a council agenda in late January,
Clark said. The pastor said he
had to show Rader how to put
the disk into the computer and
use it.
A diskette authorities said
was sent by the BTK killer to a
television station apparently
contained an electronic imprint
that identified the church com-
puter, Clark said.
Clark also said that he
learned from Raders family
later that police had taken a
DNA sample from Raders
daughter, but he did not know
any other details. He stressed
that the daughter did not turn
her father in as a local media
outlet had reported.
The Rader family, which has
been in seclusion, may be ready
to make a public statement in a
week or so, he said.
For now, the pastor wants to
focus on helping his congrega-
tion through these dark
times.
Although he looked haggard
as he prepared for church servi-
ces last night, Clark said, This
will be a source of power and
strength in our congregation. ...
I dont think we have to be vic-
tims I think we can come out
stronger.
A preliminary hearing has
been set for March 15 for Rader,
who appears unlikely to face the
death penalty.

A newspaper with a headline referring to the BTK killings lays in the front yard of Dennis Raders home in Park City yesterday. Rader, the
churchgoing family man and Cub Scout leader accused of leading a double life as the BTK serial killer, was charged Tuesday with 10 counts of
first-degree murder.

End of the line
for titanic lobster
PITTSBURGH He may
have survived two world wars
and Prohibition. But a trip to
the zoo proved too much for a
22-pound lobster named
Bubba.
The leviathan of a lobster
died yesterday afternoon at the
Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG
Aquarium, about a day after he
was moved from Wholeys
Market, said zoo spokeswoman
Rachel Capp and fish market
owner Bob Wholey.
Theyre very finicky. It could
have been a change in the
water. You have no idea,
Wholey said.
Bubba spent a week at the
market after he was pulled
from the waters off Nantucket,
Mass. He died in a quarantine
area of the zoos aquarium,
where he was being checked to
see if he was healthy enough
to make a trip to an aquarium
at a Ripleys Believe It or Not
museum, Capp said.
Bubba will be examined to
try to determine the cause of
death; Capp and Wholey
guessed it may have been the
stress of being moved.
Based on how long it typi-
cally takes a lobster to reach
eating size about five to
seven years to grow to a
pound some estimated
Bubba was about 100 years
old. Marine biologists said
30 to 50 years was more
likely.

State scales back
outdated statutes
MONTGOMERY, Ala.
Fishermen often utter obsceni-
ties and throw their catch back
in the water after hooking the
long, skinny, ugly fish known
as a garfish.
What they probably dont
know is that, according to
Alabama law, they are sup-
posed to suddenly become the
garfishs executioner.
The Alabama House passed
a bill Tuesday to repeal a 1943
law requiring fishermen who
catch a garfish also called
junk fish or trash fish to
kill it rather than throw it back
in the water to be caught
again.
Rep. Jeff McLaughlin said
the bill he sponsored is part of
his effort to highlight some of
Alabamas archaic laws and
outdated language in the state
constitution.

Mad-cow concerns
keep border closed
BILLINGS, Mont. A federal
judge yesterday blocked the
reopening of the U.S. border to
cattle and expanded beef
imports from Canada because
of mad-cow fears.
The U.S. Department of
Agriculture had planned to
reopen the border on Monday.
But after a U.S. livestock group
objected, U.S. District Judge
Richard Cebull granted a tem-
porary order preventing the
action.
United Stockgrowers of
America had argued that the
USDA plan would pose a risk
to both consumers and U.S.
cattle producers.
The Canadian cattle industry
has been devastated by the
U.S. beef ban, with losses
amounting to about $5.6 bil-
lion.

Student shoots
school bus driver
CUMBERLAND CITY, Tenn.
A 14-year-old boy was
charged with shooting a
school bus driver to death as
she drove her morning route
yesterday. A relative of the
driver said she had reported
the boy a day earlier for using
smokeless tobacco on the
bus.
None of the 24 students on
the bus, ranging from kinder-
garten to the 12th grade, were
hurt, even though the bus
crashed into a utility pole after
driver Joyce Gregory was
shot.

Fuel loss wont stop plane
SALINA Millionaire
adventurer Steve Fossett decid-
ed yesterday to press ahead with
his attempt to fly around the
world solo without refueling,
despite a serious problem with
the planes fuel system.
Fossett and his flight crew
agreed yesterday afternoon to
keep the GlobalFlyer in the air
rather than abandoning the
record-setting attempt and turn-
ing back for a landing in Japan.
He was heading east over the
Pacific Ocean, and the team
expected to decide last night,
after reaching Hawaii, whether
to continue on to the U.S. main-
land, some seven hours away.
Fossett discovered the prob-
lem with the fuel system of the
custom-built plane early yester-
day. Once the GlobalFlyer
reaches Hawaii, a critical trans-
fer of fuel from outer tanks to
the planes center booms will be
complete and the team will
know more precisely how much
fuel is left.
Project manager Paul Moore
said fuel sensors in the 13 tanks
differ from readings of how
quickly the planes single jet
engine was burning fuel. Moore
said the crew had been forced to
assume that 2,600 pounds of the
original 18,100 pounds of fuel
disappeared early in the flight.
It was not clear whether the
problem was with the instru-
ments that track how much fuel
remains or if some fuel had been
lost because of a leak, Fossetts
team said.
This is a huge setback,
Fossett said from the plane,
according to a statement issued
by his staff. I have not that high
a level of confidence at this
point.
Fossett, 60, still might be able
to finish the flight on his origi-
nal path, if a tail wind in the jet
stream remains strong enough
to push him across the Pacific.
Before the fuel problem was
discovered, Fossett had estimated
he would complete the 23,000-
mile journey at midday today. He
took off Monday from Salina.
Fossett already holds the
record for flying solo around the
globe in a balloon, as well as
dozens of other aviation and
sailing records.
The project is being financed
by Virgin Atlantic founder Sir
Richard Branson, a longtime
friend and fellow adventurer.
The first nonstop global flight
without refueling was made in
1986 by Jeana Yeager and Dick
Rutan, brother of GlobalFlyer
designer Burt Rutan.

GOVERNMENT
Pentagon:
Apply within
WASHINGTON They
might as well put up a help
wanted sign at the Pentagon.
Defense Secretary Donald H.
Rumsfeld has a number of
important leadership posts to
fill, including chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff, top Navy
and Air Force jobs and
Rumsfelds own policy chief.
The changes, all of which
require approval by the Senate,
will influence the course of the
Bush administrations defense
policies and the future shape of
a military that is under great
strain. They also will say a lot
about Rumsfelds vision for
transforming the Pentagon
bureaucracy.
Secretary Rumsfeld is gradu-
ally putting his stamp on the
entire Pentagon in terms of who
has power and what ideas pre-
vail, said Loren Thompson, a
private analyst who closely
watches the Pentagon and the
military services.
At the top of the list is
Rumsfelds hunt for a successor
to Gen. Richard Myers as chair-
man of the Joint Chiefs. Myers is
due to retire in September, and
Rumsfeld also must replace the
vice chairman, Gen. Peter Pace.
Myers, 63, and Pace, 59, have
headed the Joint Chiefs since
Oct. 1, 2001, at the start of the
global war on terrorism. Pace
would be the first Marine to
serve as Joint Chiefs chairman
and only the second vice chair-
man to be promoted to the top
spot. Myers was the first.
Besides Pace, a name often
mentioned inside the Pentagon
as a potential Joint Chiefs chair-
man is Adm. Edmund
Giambastiani, commander of
Joint Forces Command and a
former senior military aide to
Rumsfeld.
A more immediate concern is
getting a new civilian chief of the
Air Force, which is suffering
what a senior official of that
service, Marvin Sambur, recently
described as a leadership vacu-
um. James Roche quit under fire
as secretary in January, and since
then the second-in-command,
Peter B. Teets, has been the act-
ing secretary.
Rumsfeld has recommended
to President Bush that he nomi-
nate Navy Secretary Gordon
England to replace Roche as Air
Force secretary, said two offi-
cials familiar with the plan.
England started as Navy sec-
retary in May 2001, then
switched to the No. 2 spot at
the Department of Homeland
Security in January 2003, only
to return to the Navy post nine
months later after President
Bushs choice for that job, New
Mexico oilman Colin
McMillan, died from what
authorities called suicide by
gunshot.

Bombing suspect
had sketch, data
MADRID, Spain A suspect
in the Madrid train bombings
was found to possess a sketch
and technical details about
Grand Central Terminal in New
York, U.S. officials confirmed
yesterday.
The sketch and data were on
a computer disk seized about
two weeks after the March 11
train bombings in Madrid that
killed 191 people last year, the
newspaper El Mundo said.
Spanish police turned the
disk over to the U.S. agents
from the FBI and CIA in
December once they under-

Hippo kills tourist

at Lake Naivasha on Monday
night when the hippo attacked,

between them and the water,
where they feel safe.
No one else was injured in

Bush insists Syria leave Lebanon now
ARNOLD, Md. President
Bush yesterday demanded in
blunt terms that Syria get out of
Lebanon, and said the free
world was in agreement that
Damascus authority over the
political affairs of its neighbor
must end now.
He applauded the strong
message sent to Syria when
Secretary of State Condoleezza
Rice and French Foreign
Minister Michel Barnier held a
joint news conference on
London on Tuesday.
Both of them stood up and
said loud and clear to Syria,
`You get your troops and your
secret services out of Lebanon
so that good democracy has a
chance to flourish, Bush said
during an appearance at a
community college in
Maryland to tout his job train-
ing programs.
The world, Bush said, is
speaking with one voice when it
comes to making sure that
democracy has a chance to
flourish in Lebanon.
The presidents words, taken
with those from Rice and others
in the Bush administration this
week, amount to the strongest
pressure to date on Syria from
Washington.
Syria knows the concerns of
the international community,
and they know what they need
to do to change their behavior
and become a constructive
member of the region and the
international community,
White House press secretary
Scott McClellan said earlier yes-
terday.
Turkish ambassador Osman
Faruk Logoglu urged the admin-
istration to offer trade and other
economic and diplomatic incen-
tives to Syria.
The chances of Syria with-
drawing are greater than ever
before, Logoglu told reporters.
But it is obviously going to take
a long time.
Rice, in London to attend an
international conference on
Palestinian security and govern-
ment reform, had said Tuesday
that Syria is out of step with a
growing desire for democracy in
the Middle East.
The Bush administration also
on Tuesday blamed terrorists
based in Syria for last weeks
deadly suicide attack in Israel.
McClellan said the White
House had firm evidence that
Syria was home base for the ter-
rorist attack in Israel that
rocked the latest efforts for
peace between Israel and the
Palestinians. Bush made a simi-
lar point during a White House
meeting with congressional
leaders, participants said, and
so did Rice while in London.
Yesterday, Rice returned to
Washington and had lunch at
the White House and an Oval
Office meeting with Bush,
McClellan said.
All key Lebanese political
decisions are assumed to have a
stamp of approval from the gov-
ernment of Syrian President
Bashar Assad.
Huge street demonstrations
and Mondays resignation of the
pro-Syrian Lebanese govern-
ment marked the most serious
challenge to Syrian authority in
Lebanon since the end of the
civil war that killed 150,000 and
crushed the Lebanese economy
in the 1970s and 1980s.
The events also are an open-
ing for the Bush administration
to press its wider goal of democ-
racy across the Middle East and
to throw a spotlight on what the
United States contends is long-
standing Syrian support for ter-
rorists who are trying to under-
mine progress toward Israeli-
Palestinian peace.

Talks on Iraqi coalition government hit snag
BAGHDAD, Iraq Talks
aimed at forging a coalition gov-
ernment faltered yesterday over
Kurdish demands for more land
and concerns that the dominant
Shiite alliance seeks to establish
an Islamic state.
The snag in negotiations
between Shiite and Kurdish
leaders in northern Iraq came as
clashes and two car bombings in
Baghdad killed at least 14 Iraqi
soldiers and police officers
the latest in a relentless wave of
violence since elections Jan. 30.
The group led by Iraqs most
wanted terrorist, Abu-Musab al-
Zarqawi, purportedly claimed
responsibility in an Internet
posting for yesterdays clashes
and at least one of the bomb-
ings, as it had for a suicide car
bombing Monday that killed
125 people in Hillah, a town
south of the capital.
The bombings in Hillah and
again in Baghdad this morning
are not going to derail the politi-
cal process that Iraq is embarked
upon, National Security Adviser
Mouwafak al-Rubaie said yester-
day. The Iraqi government will
go after and hunt down each and
every one of these terrorists
whether in Iraq or elsewhere.
Shiite and Kurdish leaders,
Iraqs new political powers,
however, failed to reach agree-
ment after two days of negotia-
tions in the northern city of
Irbil, with the clergy-backed
candidate for prime minister,
Ibrahim al-Jaafari, leaving with
only half the deal he needed.
The Shiite-led United Iraqi
Alliance, which has 140 seats
in the 275-member National
Assembly, hopes to win back-
ing from the 75 seats held by
Kurdish political parties so t
can muster the required two-
thirds majority for post top
posts in the new government.
Al-Jaafari indicated after the
talks that the alliance was ready
to accept a Kurdish demand
that one of its leaders, Jalal
Talabani, become president.
However, he would not com-
mit to other demands, including
the expansion of Kurdish
autonomous areas south to the
oil-rich city of Kirkuk.
Kurdish leaders have demanded
constitutional guarantees for their
northern regions, including self-
rule and reversal of the
Arabization of Kirkuk and other
northern areas. Saddam Hussein
relocated Iraqi Arabs to the region
in a bid to secure the oil fields there.
Politicians had hoped to con-
vene the new parliament by
Sunday. But Ali Faisal, of the
Shiite Political Council, said the
date was now postponed and
that a new date had not been set.
The Kurds, he added, were
the basis of the problem in the
negotiations.
The Kurds are wary about al-
Jaafaris nomination to head the
government. They are con-
cerned that a strict Islamic gov-
ernment might be formed, al-
Faisal said. Negotiations and
dialogue are ongoing.

To the girl on 9th Street who flashed her lights at me to
let me know there was a cop ahead, I dont know if you
go to KU, but I just want to say thank you so much. The
guy in front of me should be thanking you, too.

In response to the smoking article on the front page, Id

just like to say that you should go after the three custodi-
ans who are always behind Fraser Hall. Thanks!
Happy Birthday, Allen Fieldhouse!

Id rather be driving drunk than

waiting outside the Wheel for
Saferide for 30 minutes in 30-degree
weather.

Yeah, we just snuck a keg into our

frat. That beats the hell out of
McCollum.

I dont even know what day it is, but

I do know that I'm working on my
fifty-second liter of whiskey for the year.

So I guess there was an election today for city commis-

sion positions. Where were you on that one, P. Diddy?

Momentum does not equal mz, the work-energy theorem

is bunk, and Newton kicked dogs.

BENSONS PERSPECTIVE THE CROSSWORD CAN WAIT
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
EDITORIAL BOARD
Rafik Harari was a self-
made billionaire, almost an
anomaly in the small Middle-
Eastern country of Lebanon.
He had enough money that he
didnt have to ever go back.
He could have cut all ties to
his native country, Lebanon,
and I dont think anyone
would have blamed him.
Fortunately for the Lebanese people, Harari
decided to give something back. He helped recon-
struct Lebanons capital city after it had been rav-
aged by civil war. He educated thousands of
young Lebanese people in the business arts in an
effort to improve his country.
He became their Prime Minister from 1992 to
1998, and again from 2000 to 2004. During this
time, many of the financial operations conducted
by the newly formed Lebanese government were
initiated and funded through his political and fiscal
power. Time and again he put money into Lebanon.
But Hararis sacrifices for Lebanon are not limit-
ed to money he contributed. On Feb. 14, 2005,
while people across our nation thought they were
having a bad day just because they didnt get a
Valentines Day card, the explosive equivalent of
650 pounds of TNT went off in the direction of
Hararis limousine, killing him and nine others.
The Syrians have been blamed inconclusively, but
due to their occupation of Lebanon and the military
presence they maintain, Hararis death has sparked
an outrage amongst the international community.
Just to give some background, there are over
15,000 troops currently occupying Lebanon, and
the Lebanese have never been very happy about it.
Neither has the United States. Shortly after
Hararis assassination, the United States recalled
its ambassador. In international politics, this is a
diplomatic slap on the wrist.
In a series of about the smartest political moves
ever, Syria feels the noose tightening around its neck,
and decides to ally itself with Iran. Very smart, Syria.
Iran, if you have forgotten, just recently signed
a deal with Russia where Russia would provide
them with material that could be used to create
nuclear arms. Very smart, Russia.
Iran says that it wants to use the nuclear mate-
rial to power the country, but last time I checked,
OPECs second largest oil contributor doesnt
need nuclear power that desperately.
President Bush, our resident diplomat, has not
ruled out military force with Iran and Syria, but said
were in the early stages of diplomacy with them.
Unfortunately, the only Bush diplomacy Ive seen
is the kind of diplomacy that involves rushing into
war, despite any doubts to the intelligence that said
wars justification is based on, not to mention
adhering to policies that I believe blatantly disregard
the troops well-being. Very smart, Bush.
And because they didnt want to feel left out,
middle-eastern hate magnet and simultaneous
United States ally, Israel, has decided to help ease
the tension by claiming that
they are ready and willing to
attack Syria. Very smart,
Israel.
And last, North Korea
announced that they have
nuclear weapons, and the rea-
son they possess these weapons
is to protect their country from
what they called aggressive
American foreign policy. Very smart, North Korea.
The reason I point out all of these very smart
moves is to show you that if our American leaders
do not conduct about the best diplomatic negoti-
ating possible in the next few years, more war is
not only possible, but I think its imminent.
Unfortunately, our President has lost almost all
of his credibility as far as convincing us when we
need to commit our troops to a worthy cause. There
are a lot of people out there that understandably say
there is no justification for bloodshed ever, but
remember that they are only free to say this as a
direct result of the bloodshed of Americas military.
The ultimate goal of any peace-keepers,
Americas military especially, is to live in a peaceful
world where everyone jumps up and down and
shares their candy. But we wont be in a position to
achieve this goal unless we maintain the freedoms
we currently have, even if that means by force.
I hope we dont go to another war, but our world
is a tempest right now, and few realize it. They will
realize it when their draft notice comes in the mail.
Right now, our military is an all-volunteer
organization. It is full of men and women who
believe in America, and believe in protecting the
liberties it provides. I think everyone should know
that if we enter another war, justified or not, we
will need more men and women. If Iraq has taught
us nothing else, it is that our most precious com-
modity, personnel, is not an infinite resource.
We all have a question to ask ourselves right
now. Will our generation have the courage and will-
power to stand up for nations around the world
that dont have the freedom to choose their own
government? Will we stand up for people who face
genocide and poverty for no better reason than
their leaders are greedy, power-hungry assholes?
I know the current administrations recent
actions dont have a lot of people confident that
we are fighting the good fight, and there are a lot of
people that are mad as hell that Bush has lost that
confidence, but can we really sit back and watch
countries like Syria and North Korea threaten and
bully people into submission? Do only the wealthy
citizens of America deserve freedom?
Im not calling for a war. Im calling for us to be
aware. Be aware that there are people in this
world that hate democracy. They hate that it takes
away their power, and gives it to the people.
Theres writing on the wall. America needs to
start reading it.

The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences
wants money to renovate buildings on cam-
pus, but it will have to look elsewhere than
students pockets.
University of Kansas students were given the
opportunty to vote on an online referendum
that was dressed up as a survey. Voters over-
whelmingly rejected it: only 25 percent of the
1,247 voters thought it was a good idea.
CLAS called the vote an unprecedented
move. Talk about overstat-
ing it. It is, after all, the stu-
dents money theyre asking
for. Why shouldnt they have
a say, and why would it be
considered unprecedented?
Perhaps it is because the
University has arbitrarily
raised tuition faster than the
rate of inflation over the past
several years that students
are soured about the
prospect of paying more
money. Its gotten to the point where some
students feel theyre getting priced out of an
education they once thought was a value.
Kris Baxter, Wichita junior, said the price
of his education isnt what he bargained for.
One of the reasons I came to KU was it was
a good deal; you didnt have to worry about
paying these fees. Baxter said. If I would
have known I was going to pay this much, I
wouldnt have come here in the first place.
Baxter came to the University in part because
of what tuition was at the time. He knew how
much he was going to have to pay, and what
amount of work it would take to pay tuition.
One of the reasons I came to KU was it
was a good deal, Baxter said.
Working 20 to 30 hours a week used to suf-
fice, but now he has to take out loans on top
of that because of incremental tuition hikes.
Baxter said the $30 per hour increase for
CLAS classes didnt seem bad on the face of
it maybe a few beers but even beyond
the money, there is the princple that the
University raises costs anyway..
They keep doing it, Baxter said. Its the
University asking themselves How are we going
to get more money here, more money there?
Maybe if the quality of education here had
actually gone up, perhaps the money would
mean something. But to Baxter, the only thing
he can see thats been done is the Student
Recreation Fitness Center. That was built after
Student Senate passed an intiative, but it stil
came out of students pockets. Baxters priority
isnt having a nice gym or a building with bells
and whistles, but what goes on in the class-
rooms in that building.
Its nice to go to classes in
good looking buildings, but I
want to go to school, Baxter
said. Meanwhile, the quality
of education hasnt gone up.
CLAS dean Kim Wilcox
has said that better buildings
will attract better faculty.
But what about those stu-
dents who are sophomores
and juniors, whose money
will go into CLASs pot, but
wont be around to see the
fruits of their checking accounts labor?
Wilcox said those students should shell out
the differential tuition because they should
have pride in the University. It is in this
respect that Wilcox has failed to enact a rea-
sonable request for the increased tuition.
Does Wescoe look horrible? Yes. Could
other campus buildings use a facelift? You bet.
Would it help make the University better?
Probably. Should students right now have to
pay for it? According to 75 percent of the
respondents, no chance in hell they should, at
least not the way Wilcox dressed it up.
Wilcox should be commended for his effort.
No one can say that Wilcox and the students
who spent countless hours with to devise and
present the proposal dont care about the
University. But maybe most of all, he should
be commened for finally listening to what stu-
dents want. Wilcox could probably push the
hike through without anyones input, but
theres a lot to be said for someone who puts
the wishes of others in front of their own ini-
tiative. But then again, three out of every four
people are fairly hard to argue against.

University bowling coachs dedication
will be missed by both bowling teams
After 21 years of service to the Kansas Union
Jaybowl and the University of Kansas mens and
womens bowling teams, Mike Fine will be leav-
ing the University of Kansas at the end of this aca-
demic year.
During his tenure, Mike Fine has overseen the
transformation of the Jaybowl into a bright and
popular student recreation center.
From his very early days at the University, Mike
Fines dream was to renovate the Jaybowl with 12
new lanes, new automatic scoring, seating, gut-
ters, and modern interior design.
All of these improvements have happened
under his leadership at the Kansas Union
Jaybowl.
Mike Fine also had a strong desire to build his
bowling program into a national powerhouse that
would compete for the Intercollegiate Bowling
Championships title every year.
Under his leadership, the mens team won its
first national championship in 2004, and the
womens team has advanced to the national
championships several times. His coaching,
organization and knowledge of the sport have put
KU bowling in the national spotlight.
But what well miss most about Mike Fine at the
University is his leadership and mentoring to the
students of KU. In my years as a University stu-
dent and athlete, I have never seen someone
affect students lives in a positive manner as much
as Mike Fine. While his coaching and mentoring
abilities have turned some of his athletes into fan-
tastic bowlers, his leadership qualities and skills
have made so many students into great human
beings.
I only wish I had learned as much about the
game of bowling from Mike as I learned about
being a good person.

Explosion in China
kills 20 children
BEIJING A cache of explo-
sives at the home of a coal
mine manager blew up in a
town in northern China, killing
at least 20 children at a nearby
grade school, news reports
said earlier today.
The explosion occurred yes-
terday in Kecheng, a town in
Shanxi province, one of Chinas
biggest coal-mining regions,
newspapers reported.
Grade school students who
were in class were buried, the
Shanxi Commercial News said.
At least 20 people are dead.
The mine manager, identi-
fied as Lu Maolin, was
among the dead and his wife
was injured, the Commercial
News and the Shanxi
Evening News reported.
They said an unspecified
number of injured children
from the Beixin Village
Elementary School were hos-
pitalized.
A man who answered the
phone at the county govern-
ment office said he had no
additional information and
calls to local fire and other
offices werent answered.

New director finds
CIA position daunting
SIMI VALLEY, Calif. In a
rare public appearance yester-
day, CIA Director Porter Goss
said he was overwhelmed by the
many duties of his job, includ-
ing devoting five hours out of
every day to prepare for and
deliver intelligence briefings to
President Bush.
The jobs Im being asked to
do, the five hats that I wear, are
too much for this mortal, Goss
said. Im a little amazed at the
workload.
Goss praised Bushs choice
for the new job of national
intelligence director, John
Negroponte. The career diplo-
mat, who is expected to be
confirmed by the Senate, will
take over several of the duties
currently assigned to Goss,
including the presidential
briefing.
Goss, who has made few pub-
lic comments beyond congres-
sional testimony, also said the
legislation creating the position
of director of national intelli-
gence left him unclear on his
future role.
Its got a huge amount of
ambiguity in it, he said. I dont
know by law what my direct
relationship is with John
Negroponte, Defense Secretary
Donald Rumsfeld or other top
officials involved with intelli-
gence.
Despite the confusion, Goss
praised Negropontes selection.
I hold him in the very high-
est regard, he said, noting that
the two attended Yale at the
same time. The intelligence
community is going to be
strengthened and unified and
more effective than it has ever
been.
Goss remarks came during
an hourlong address at the
Ronald Reagan Presidential
Library, before an audience of
more than 200 that included
former first lady Nancy Reagan.
Tickets to the event were sold to
the public for $45.
Goss, a CIA clandestine offi-
cer for 10 years who retired in
1972, said it took him five
hours every day to prepare and
deliver the presidents daily
briefing, calling Bush a vora-
cious consumer of intelli-
gence.
Legislation signed by Bush
in December created a nation-
al intelligence center and the
powerful new position
Negroponte was nominated
for. He will oversee the
nations 15 separate intelli-
gence agencies.
Goss will remain head of the
CIA but under the legislation
loses his title as director of cen-
tral intelligence. He said his
role under the overhauled sys-
tem would likely depend on
Bush.
Any president ... is going to
pick the way he or she wants the
intelligence community to serve
him or her, he said.
Even after the nations intelli-
gence overhaul, he said, the
CIA is going to continue to be
the flagship of the intelligence
community.
Goss succeeded George
Tenet, the CIA chief for seven
years who was criticized for
intelligence failures leading up
to the Iraq war. Tenet also
reportedly assured Bush there
was slam dunk evidence
showing Iraq possessed weap-
ons of mass destruction. Such
weapons have not been found.
Since Goss arrived at the CIA
in September, more than a
dozen senior officials have left
and some critics complain he
has politicized the agency by
hiring Republican aides.
Goss said reforms were need-
ed and the agency is pretty
much around the corner. He
said the CIA was substantially
increasing its number of ana-
lysts and field officers.

One play said it all last night.
In the larger scheme of things, it
wasnt instrumental in the Jayhawks
72-65 victory against Kansas State.
Most likely, it was forgotten after
Wayne Simien, Aaron Miles, Mike Lee
and Keith Langford provided Kansas
fans with a one-hour send off after the
game.
In a span of 20-seconds, the four
seniors showed what they were all
about.
About three minutes into the game, a
K-State player missed a shot. Before
the ball could even bounce off the rim,
Big Dub ripped the ball down with his
enormous hands.
A second later, he hit Mike Lee with
an outlet pass. Lee took one dribble
and sent it down the floor to Aaron
Miles. Miles penetrated, drew the
defense and found Langford, who spot-
ted up on the opposite side of the
court.
Money ball!
The fact that the ball went through
the hands of the four seniors and ended
up in the bottom of the net is pretty
much symbolic of the last four years.
This team includes Kansas all-time
assist leader, two players with at least
1,400 career points and a valuable
locker room leader.
This is a special group, Kansas
coach Bill Self said. I love coaching
these guys. I love chewing on them. I
love going to practice with them every
day.
Sure, 16,300 fans crammed into
Allen Fieldhouse to see Kansas beat
Kansas State.
But they stuck around to hear the
four seniors talk.
A lot of kids missed their bed times
last night. Few fans left, and these guys
had a lot to say. Collectively, the four
guys talked for more than an hour last
night but the fans were interested.
Of all the laughs, tears and random
babbles, Wayne Simien said something
that embodied how these four feel
about each other.
A couple of days ago, somebody
asked him to describe each of his class-
mates.
I cant think of anything that can
separate us. Were going to leave as
winners, Simien said. How many
assists Aaron dished out, how many
clutch shots Keith hit, how many times
Mike dove on the ball or how many
rebounds I got.
When they think of one they are
going to think of us all.
A funny thing happened with Simien
yesterday. Anticipating the guys would
be nervous, Self said he walked up to
Simien during the shoot around and
asked how he was feeling.
He almost broke down right there,
Self said with a chuckle. Ive never
had a guy do that.
Simien was fine during the game. He
scored 25 points and pulled down a
career-high 20 rebounds. But he said
he was on the verge of tears all day just
thinking about the game.
It was a really emotional day, just
walking to class and having the shoot-
around and warming up, he said. I
just knew that there were going to be a
lot of lasts today.
As for the rebounds, Kansas certain-
ly gave him plenty of opportunities.
The Jayhawks shot just 23-of-53 from
the field and 9-of-22 from three-point
range.
Three of those three-pointers came
from Mike Lee, whose only points of
the game came from behind the arc.
But sophomore J.R. Giddens nailed a
couple of three-pointers of his own.
Giddens, whose struggles from behind
the arc have been well documented,
missed badly on his first shot of the
game. He came back and scored five
straight points for the Jayhawks.
It was a 28-footer and he missed by
19 feet, Self laughed. But he showed
a lot of guts stepping up and making
his next two.
Self said the Jayhawks would need
Giddens to play better in order for
them to go far in the NCAA
Tournament, mainly because teams will
do what K-State did last night.
The Wildcats played a 2-3 zone for
most of the game, but unlike other
games during the season when they
went stagnant against a zone, the
Jayhawks were able to pass the ball on
the perimeter and get it inside.

Wristbands become collectors items
The RockChalk wristbands,
blue pieces of rubber that origi-
nally sold for $1, are now fetch-
ing more than 20 times that
amount from collectors on
eBay.
The Kansas University
Athletic Corporation ordered
50,000 wristbands last fall to
capitalize on the LiveStrong-
style rubber wristband trend.
As word spread that the
Athletics Department stopped
selling the blue wristbands at
the end of 2004, they almost
instantly became a collectors
item.
The wristbands, which were
sold from October to December
at all home sporting events and
at www.kustore.com, are con-
sistently selling for more than
$20 on eBay.
Thirty-six eBay users bid on a
RockChalk wristband Monday.
It sold for $30, and some have
gone for even more. But most
KU students are choosing to
hang on to their wristbands
despite the high prices people
are paying on eBay.
Kevin Waymire, Wichita
sophomore, said he wouldnt
sell his wristband.
Its something that shows my
respect, he said. It shows how
proud I am to be a KU student.
Not everyone is so sentimen-
tal. Sam Funk, Holcomb fresh-
man, said he would consider
selling his wristband for a big
enough wad of cash.
I mean, Im a college stu-
dent, he said.
Andrew Steinberg, assistant
athletic director in charge of
marketing, said the department
still had a few thousand wrist-
bands, which it planned to give
away at the baseball game ver-
sus Western Illinois on March
18 and at the softball game ver-
sus Arkansas on April 27.
He said that in addition to the
wristbands that were sold, the
department handed out thou-
sands of wristbands to student-
athletes, the spirit squad, the
marching band and department
employees. Wristbands were
also given to everyone who
attended the womens basket-
ball game on Feb. 2.
Steinberg said the depart-
ment was not planning to print
more wristbands.

Last night
dj vu all
over again
Fifty years ago nearly to the day, Kansas and
Kansas State played the first ever basketball game
in Allen Fieldhouse. The Jayhawks Gene Elstun
scored 21 points, and coach Phog Allen led his
team to a 77-66 victory in the contest.
Of course, back then, the house that Phog built
was still just an unchristened mass of bricks and
steel, not yet haunted by the ghosts of basketball
past or imbued with the mystique the building
carries today. The Big 12 and Big 8 Conference
Championship banners and All-American jerseys
that now hang majestically on the walls and from
the rafters were still waiting to be earned. The
hallways were bare of most of the trophies and
photos and plaques that are so pervasive today.
And though icons like Allen and James Naismith
and Adolph Rupp had already begun the Kansas
basketball legacy, other icons were still waiting for
their fieldhouse moments.
Wilt Chamberlain, the man, the myth, the leg-
end, was still playing ball at Overbrook High
School in Pennsylvania. Danny Manning and the
Miracles wouldnt shock the country for another
33 years. And the pantheon of great Kansas
coaches and players that followed the days of
Allen was still waiting in the wings, most of its
heroes not even born yet. Fast forward a half cen-
tury, and it seems fitting that the last home game
of the fieldhouses 50th season would also be
against Kansas State and also result in a Kansas
victory. In fact, if you closed your eyes, last night
was almost that night over again, with the
Jayhawks rolling to victory and 17,000 plus fans
yes, there were that many on the fieldhouses
opening night roaring approval.
Of course, many things were fitting about last
nights game. The four seniors got to go out top,

Senior golfers help earn
repeat victory in San Antonio
Senior leadership and a
solid overall team perform-
ance helped the Kansas
mens golf team win the
Roadrunner Intercollegiate in
San Antonio Tuesday.
Senior golfer Kevin Ward
emerged as the teams
leader through the back
nine. Wards final-round
score, 67, was the lowest
round of the day and the
second-lowest round of the tournament next to
tournament champion Jeremy Alcorn of Baylor.
Alcorn shot 65 in the opening round.
Wards four-under-par round on Tuesday pro-
pelled the Jayhawks to beat in-state foe Wichita
State by two strokes. He was the only player on
the team to shoot under par.
Sophomore Tyler Docking remained consis-
tent, finishing the tournament tied for second
with a three-round total of 211, which was two-
under-par for the tournament. Docking led all
Jayhawks for the second straight tournament.
Coach Ross Randall said he was relieved to
leave San Antonio with a victory.
We were lucky to win today, Randall said.
The guys didnt play their best but we still won,

Senior Andrew Price also played well, finish-

Athletes praised for academics
The release of the Academic
Progress Rate scores have put col-
lege athletes under the micro-
scope.
The recent focus: whats going on
in the classroom in addition to what
occurs on the field, court, track or in
the water.
Seventeen Kansas swimming and
diving team members were recog-
nized as part of the 2005 Academic
All-Big 12 Team on Feb. 23, an
increase from last years 12 selec-
tions.
Academic excellence is not new
to the team. The Jayhawks have
repeatedly performed outstandingly
in the classroom.
The 2003-2004 team grade point
average was 3.39.
Along with a high GPA, the team
was selected as an Academic All-
American Team.
They had the highest GPA
among all Big 12 Conference
swimming and diving teams, the
eighth-best team GPA of all public
universities, and the highest GPA
ever posted by Jayhawk swimmers
and divers.
Perhaps the biggest accomplish-
ment of the 2003-2004 season was
capturing the highest GPA among all
KU athletic teams.
The entire Academic All-Big 12
Team is composed of 73 student-ath-
letes from the Big 12. Sixty swim-
mers and divers represent the first
team, members with a 3.20 GPA or
higher. Thirteen Big 12 swimmers
and divers represent the second
team, members with a 3.00- 3.19
GPA.
The Jayhawks have 17 of the 60
first-team selections and two of the
13 second-team selections.
Its pretty amazing, junior Gina
Gnatzig said, especially since we
have to go to school, train and main-
tain good grades.
Senior Aly Colver, a three-time
member of the Academic All-Big 12
Team, received special recognition
this season as one of only two
women in Big 12 swimming and div-
ing to earn a 4.0 GPA.
Coach Clark Campbell said that
freshmen on the team were
required to complete six study
hours per week during their first
semester as part of an incentive
program to get them started on the
right track.
With the exception of a little guid-
ance from Laura Jacobsen, the
teams academic adviser, the team
was motivated and determined to
perform well academically.
We have to keep in mind that
were here to go to school first,
Gnatzig said. Seventeen Academic
All-Big 12 selections is a better
accomplishment than any best
time.
Amy Gruber, senior co-captain,
agreed that academics were impor-
tant to the team. She said that spring
was the best time for earning good
grades because it was the teams off-
season.
Although the 2005 swimming and
diving season is coming to a close
and the swimmers and divers no
longer have daily practice and
weekly meets, that doesnt mean
that they dont have other goals to
achieve.
They plan on devoting the rest of
spring semester to excelling out of
the pool and in the classroom.

Free agency under way
The Washington Redskins did
it again, jumping yesterday to sign
the first free agent of the season.
But the Baltimore Ravens
landed the biggest prize of the
first day of free agency, signing
wide receiver Derrick Mason,
whose 96 catches for Tennessee
last season led all NFL wide
receivers.
And the Cleveland Browns
traded defensive tackle Gerard
Warren, the third overall pick in
the 2001 draft, to Denver. It was
an overall net loss for Cleveland
the Browns will get just a
fourth-round draft choice for
the underachieving Warren.
The 31-year-old Mason, one
of six Titans cut last month in a
salary cap purge, will join a
team whose leading receiver
had just 35 catches a year ago.
We were high on his list, and
he was high on our list, Ravens
general manager Ozzie Newsome
said. He was really the only
receiver we have had any active
discussions with thus far. What
this does is, we bring in a veteran
receiver who has the type of atti-
tude and type of personality that
we look for in a football player.
St. Louis, meanwhile, signed
32-year-old linebacker Dexter
Coakley, one day after he was
released by Dallas.
Washingtons catch was a for-
mer Raven, center Casey Rabach,
who joined a team has spent mil-
lions in the early days of free
agency the last two seasons.
But more significant for the
Redskins, who went wildly after
high-priced free agents on the
first day the last two years, was
keeping one of their own left
tackle Chris Samuels, whose
contract was redone to provide
more salary cap room.
Those were the major free
agents to sign on Day 1 of free
agency
Oakland also made an expect-
ed splash by officially complet-
ing the deal for Randy Moss, a
trade made last week with
Minnesota. The Raiders gave up
linebacker Napoleon Harris and
two draft picks, one of them the
seventh overall in Aprils lottery.
Moss may not be the only sig-
nificant addition to the Raiders
offense.
They appeared close to signing
running back Lamont Jordan,
who spent four years as Curtis
Martins backup with the New
York Jets.
He averaged 4.9 yards per
carry in part-time duty but has
never been a full-time back.
Jordan should help, but Moss
teamed with the re-signed Jerry
Porter is the seemingly perfect
combination for the strong arm of
quarterback Kerry Collins. The
big question is whether the offen-
sive line can protect the immobile
and turnover-prone QB.
Collins was delighted.
If hes not the best, hes cer-
tainly one of the best, he said
of Moss.

Two players receive award
for academic achievements
The womens basketball team has two players
on the 2005 Academic All-Big 12 team first team,
which was announced yesterday.
Senior forward Blair Waltz and junior forward
Crystal Kemp were two of 21
repeat honorees in the Big 12
Conference.
Waltz, a French and econom-
ics major, was also placed on
the All-Big 12 first team as a
sophomore and won second
team honors as a junior. Waltz
is one of only 15 players in the
league to be awarded academi-
cally for three seasons.
Kemp is on the All-Big 12
first team for the second time. Kemp, who also
leads the Jayhawks in scoring and rebounding,
is studying speech, language and hearing.
Overall, the Big 12 honored
37 first team student-athletes
and placed nine on the sec-
ond team. To qualify for first
team honors, a grade point
average of 3.20 or better must
be reached. Second team
qualifiers need to earn a GPA
between 3.00 and 3.19. A GPA
of 3.00 or higher is required in
either cumulative grades or in
the previous two semesters.
On the court, the players must compete in 60
percent of the teams games to qualify for either
team honors.

Two years ago, Cameron
Manuel took down a trophy
black bear.
Manuel, a Wichita sopho-
more, said, Id always heard
people say they look up at you,
right before you shoot. Sure
enough, he did.
Manuels kill, in Salmon
River Valley, Idaho, earned him
a place in the record books of
Pope & Young, a bow hunters
organization that accepts for
records only game killed by bow
and arrow. When a kill surpass-
es a certain score (determined
by the skull width and length),
the hunter is entered into the
record book.
In this case, the threshold
was a score of 18. Manuels bear
scored an 18.6.
Manuel said the bear weighed
more than 300 pounds and
stood about six feet tall.
He said his whole mind was
consumed by getting off a good
shot.
People ask if I was scared,
but it wasnt scary. My heart was
pounding, sure, but I did not
want to miss that shot. I made
the perfect shot, double lung,
and hit a main vein causing him
to die really quick. Thats impor-
tant to me, minimizing the suf-
fering, Manuel said.
Some people people say
hunting is cruel. But for
Manuel, from an ethical stand-
point, its better to hunt wild
game than to eat store-bought
meat.
When people tell me its
unethical, I ask whens the last
time you ate meat, or used cos-
metics that were tested on ani-
mals? I would rather go out into
the wilderness and give the ani-
mal that opportunity to face off
with me. Thats been a natural
part of the human race. Only in
the last 100 years have we
become capable of living with-
out it, Manuel said.
Most of the meat from gro-
cery stores is from animals
raised for the sole purpose of
food. Manuel thinks that is
worse than hunting.
Manuel donated his trophy
bears meat to a family in Idaho,
and said its important to utilize
everything possible from game
animals.
Rex Reinhardt, Lake St.
Louis, Mo., senior, agreed.
Animals have a multitude of
purposes. Food being one of
them. But I dont think its right
to kill them merely for recre-
ational purposes, Reinhardt
said.
Even though Manuel shot his
bear in Idaho and has hunted
hogs in Arkansas, Kansas is still
his favorite place to hunt.
We have really good deer
hunting here, as well as duck
hunting. Lots of people dog
Kansas, but I love it. Starting at
the age of four, I was able to
pursue these hobbies.
With springtime approaching,
the time for fly fishing and
turkey hunting is near. This is
the time hunters and outdoors-
men love. Even those in Kansas.

Study shows obesity widespread in NFL
CHICAGO Its no secret
that size matters in the National
Football League, but a new
study suggests that a whopping
56 percent of NFL players
would be considered obese by
some medical standards.
The NFL called the study
bogus for using players body-
mass index, a height-to-weight
ratio that doesnt consider body
muscle versus fat. The players
union said that despite the famil-
iar sight of bulging football jer-
seys, there was no proof that obe-
sity was rampant in the league.
But former defensive tackle
John Jurkovic said hed seen
plenty of evidence that players
had gotten not just bigger but
sometimes fatter, big as hous-
es in recent years because of
league pressure to intimidate
opponents and win.
The NFL teams want it
because its working, said
Jurkovic, who played for Green
Bay, Cleveland and Jacksonville
before retiring in 2000.
The theory is that bigger men,
especially linemen and defen-
sive players, are better blockers
and harder to move.
But the study results suggest
that bigger players dont make a
team more successful. There
was no relationship between
teams average player BMI and
their ranking in 2003-04, the
season studied. Arizona had the
highest average BMI, but also
the worst record in its division.
In the study, University of
North Carolina endocrinologist
Joyce Harp and student Lindsay
Hecht used statistics on the
NFL Web site to calculate BMIs
for 2,168 NFL players, nearly all
those playing in the 2003-04
season.
Almost all the players quali-
fied as overweight, and 56 per-
cent had BMIs of at least 30
what doctors consider obese.
For example, a 6-foot-2 man
weighing 235 has a BMI of just
over 30. Nearly half of the obese
players were in the severely
obese range, with a BMI of at
least 35, and a small percentage
were morbidly obese with a
BMI of at least 40.
Harp acknowledged that
without measuring body com-
position, it was uncertain how
many players were truly fat, but
she said it was unlikely the high
BMIs were due to a healthy
increase in muscle mass alone.
The high number of large
players was not unexpected,
given the pressures of profes-
sional athletes to increase their
mass. However, it may not be
without health consequences,
the researchers wrote, citing
previous studies that document-
ed obesity-related problems,
including sleep apnea and high
blood pressure in NFL players.
The study appears in yester-
days Journal of the American
Medical Association.
While the study methods were
not very scientific, players grow-
ing girth is a major concern,
said Arthur Roberts, a former
NFL quarterback and retired
heart surgeon whose Living Heart
Foundation works with the play-
ers union to evaluate heart-relat-
ed health risks faced by current
and retired players.
These larger body sizes are
generally associated with
greater cardiovascular risks,
Roberts said.
The increasing emphasis on
size may be a bad influence on
all the young kids that play
football around the country ...
and are trying to be like their
heroes, Roberts said.
Players union spokesman
Carl Francis said health and
safety were discussed all the
time, and that while some play-
ers likely were obese, it was not
a major problem.
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello
called the study substandard
and said there was no proof
obesity was worse in the NFL
than in U.S. society in general,
where about 30 percent of
adults are obese, based on BMI
data. This was not a serious
medical study, he said.
Brian Cole of Chicagos Rush
University Medical Center, an
orthopedic surgeon who works
with the Arena Football League,
also questioned the study meth-
ods.
Relying on published height
and weight data but not physi-
cal exams is faulty, he said.
Julie Burns, a nutritionist
who works with the Chicago
Bears, said combining BMI data
with players waist measure-
ments is a better fat indicator.

Some college athletics
departments have distributed
part of the profits from wrist-
band sales outside the athletic
department. The University of
Michigans M Go Blue for
Mott wristband sells for $2,
with half of the profits going to
help build a new childrens hos-
pital. The University of Illinois
Loyalty wristband sells for $2
with the money going to the
universitys library campaign.
Though KUAC didnt spread
the wristband profits outside of
KU athletics, Marchiony said
giving money to the Williams
Fund was a good way to raise
money to help student-ath-
letes.
Funk said he was more than
happy to give $1 to help attract

Weve got a lot of seniors

not just in basketball but in any

There was no official ceremo-
ny to commemorate the 50th
birthday of Allen Fieldhouse
during last nights game, because
none was needed. The game
itself was the celebration.
Cheerleaders wore ankle-length
skirts, yell leaders donned old
school sweaters and the basket-
ball players sported throwback
jerseys, all in an effort to turn
back the clock to that fateful day
50 years and one day earlier.
The retro uniforms made me
feel like I was back in the 50s or
something, Brian Fleming, Fort
Worth, Texas, sophomore, said.
The cheerleading stuff was cool,
too. It kind of brought the
whole thing together.
To complete the setting, an old
Jayhawks mascot, similar to the
one used at games in the 50s, was
parading around before the game
with Big Jay and Baby Jay, who
donned tuxedos for Senior Night.
The only things missing from
the atmosphere were short shorts
for the basketball players and
bow ties for the coaches.
I would like to see the throw-
back uniforms every once in a
while, Adam Lovelace, Olathe
sophomore, said. Not too often,
but maybe once a year.
Replicas of the first-ever game
programwere handed out, as well.

Mike Lee
Senior guard
Self said he was pleased with
his teams play against the zone
defense.
The score never indicated
that the game was in question,
but K-State hung tough. The
Jayhawks 32-26 halftime lead
widened to 12 early in the sec-
ond half. It was their largest of
the game. The Wildcats got
within six with about 7 minutes
left in the game.
But the Kansas seniors
werent going to let anything
take away from their night.
Simien, Langford, Miles and
Lee scored all but five of the
Jayhawks second half-points.
Last nights victory gave
Kansas a share of the Big 12
Conference title. A victory
against Missouri on Sunday
would win it. Clinching the
conference title would top off
the seniors final regular sea-
son.
This is only halfway,
Langford said. We wanna win
it outright and we have the
opportunity to do that.

an apt ending, considering their
two Final Fours and Elite Eight
could already make them the
most successful basketball class
in Kansas history no matter
what else happens this season.
And the way the seniors
went out on top was also fitting.
Forward Wayne Simien was,
well, Wayne Simien,
indomitable in the post even
against the Wildcats zone, saving
one of his best fieldhouse per-
formances for his last 25 points
and a career-high 20 rebounds.
Guard Aaron Miles, Kansas and
the Big 12s all-time leader in
assists, dished out seven to go
along with 12 points. Guard
Keith Langford slashed and shot
his way also to 12 points and
guard Mike Lee had nine onthree
three-pointers. Fittingly, the four
seniors were the Jayhawks four
leading scorers.
But though Senior Night
ended in success, the seniors
are still waiting to call their
final season a success.
Our goal was to win the Big
12 title, Lee said. Right now
we share a piece of it, but we
want to win it outright.
Kansas will have its opportu-
nity to do that on Sunday at
Missouri. Then comes the con-
ference tournament and March
Madness, where the Jayhawks
hope to take care of other unfin-
ished business. Meanwhile, the
50-year-old fieldhouse will wait
for next year to celebrate the big
five-one, and the names Miles,
Langford, Simien and Lee can
be added to the other greats
who have played there. Theyll
will be remembered as individu-
als, but also as the great class
they composed.
When one of us is going to be
mentioned, all of us are going to

If the Jayhawks defeat the Tigers, they will clinch
the outright Big 12 Conference title. If Kansas loses,
it will share the title if Oklahoma or Oklahoma State
wins this weekend.
If Kansas ties with Oklahoma State, the Jayhawks will
still have the No. 1 seed in the conference tournament.
A tie with Oklahoma would mean the second seed in
the tournament for Kansas.
In the event of a three-way tie, Oklahoma would take
the No. 1 seed with a 2-1 head-to-head record against
Kansas and Oklahoma State. The Jayhawks (1-1)
would be No. 2, and the Cowboys (1-2) would be No. 3.

halfway to Oliver Hall.
It was the kind of anticipation nor-
mally reserved for games against high-
ly ranked opponents, but it didnt
matter who the visiting team was on
this occasion. Senior Night is an
event all by itself.
I wouldnt miss this for anything,
Jessica Leiker, Great Bend freshman,
said. I think they are best group of four
seniors weve ever had.
The celebration for the Jayhawks
four seniors started with a pre-game
ceremony in which Mike Lee, Keith
Langford, Wayne Simien and Aaron
Miles were introduced at midcourt
with their parents.
Cheerleaders, armed with roses,
lined James Naismith Court, and as
each player was announced to the
capacity crowd, they were honored
with a shower of flowers.
By the end of the ceremony, so
many rose petals covered the floor
that extra help had to be called on to
remove them in time for tip-off.
This was only the appetizer.
The main course of the seniors
farewell was saved for after Kansas
finished winning its 22nd straight
Senior Day game.
The first senior speech came from
Lee, who finished off his career with
a nine-point effort.
After being announced by Kansas
radio commentator Max Falkenstien
as one of the nicest guys youll ever
meet, he began his farewell words.
He started off by promising he
wouldnt take long. He then thanked
the fans for sticking by him even
when he was playing 30 seconds a
game.
His speech then focused on his
teammates, coaches and eventually
his family.
Starting with his mother, he
thanked his relatives for all he they
had done for him. He got choked up
along the way but could no longer
keep the tears in when he spoke
about his father.
Daddy, ever since I was little, all
the motivation I got was because of
you, he said. I wanted to be a better
man because of you.
At this point he tried to hide his
tears, so Miles ran to midcourt and
presented him with a handkerchief.
The crowd laughed and applauded
Miles move, and Lee composed him-
self and continued his speech.
This night is not about me, its
not about the seniors. Its about
everyone who came along for the
journey. The staff, the fans, my fam-
ily, all of yall.
He ended his speech by asking
everyone in the stadium to travel to
Columbia, Mo., on Sunday and
watch the Jayhawks defeat the
Tigers.
The second senior to take the stage
was Langford, who said it would be
hard to say goodbye.
Im not going to make it through
this speech without crying, he said.
Throughout his address he stayed
strong. But, like Lee, he broke down
once he started talking about his fam-
ily.
With every sad moment, though, he
came back with a satirical comment.
After telling his father how much he
meant to him, he told the crowd how
his father had pushed himso hard the
he would throw up.
The same was true with his mother.
After he said he loved her, he brought
up that she spanked himwhen he was
15 years old. His mother stood up
and took a bow to show how proud
she was.
To end his speech, he also thanked
the fans.
This is the best place in America
to play basketball, he said.
After Langford took a seat back on
the bench, Miles got his turn to
address the crowd.
Like those before him, he thanked
everyone fromthe coaches to his fam-
ily.
He was the only player who
thanked former coach Roy Williams,
and his coaching staff.
He started off on an upbeat note,
thanking The Rudy Huxtable Fan
Club, a camping group who Miles
said included his biggest fans.
Shortly after, he turned to his fami-
ly, and Lee got revenge by bringing
Miles a handkerchief when he began
to cry.
The emotions started showing
once he talked about his brother,
whom he said he tried to set a good
example for every day.
Miles ended his speech by telling
his fellow seniors how much their
friendships meant to him.
The last public speaker of the
group was Simien, who started off by
telling everyone to be patient.
Im going to go ahead and apolo-
gize to everyone right now, he said.
Get comfortable, because Ive been
waiting for this my whole life.
Though the three seniors before
him thanked the fans, he connected
to them in a way none of them could.
He grew up a huge fan of Kansas bas-
ketball, and said that if he werent on
the team, he would be camping out
with the fans.
Simiens speech turned out to be
the longest, because he went into
great detail about why he loved his
fellow players and coaches.
The crowd applauded himthe most
after thanking his old high school
coach for encouraging him to stay at
Kansas after Williams left for North
Carolina.
I remember going through the
whole coaching change and not
knowing what was going to happen,
Simien said. He just told me to play
the hand I was dealt.
The majority of the crowd stayed to
listen to all of the speeches, which
lasted more than an hour, and
applauded the departing heroes every
chance they got.
They just couldnt get enough.
Im going to miss them so much,
Sarah Latif, Overland Park freshman,
said. They bring so much enthusiasm
for every game. I wish them luck in
the NBA or anywhere they go after
this.

Today's Birthday.
Watch out for opportunities, and
changes in your career. Find an envi-
ronment where your suggestions are
respected, even though not always fol-
lowed.
Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is a 7.
Far distant places beckon, but don't go
racing off yet. There's something
you've already promised to do that has
to be finished first.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) Today is a 7.
You can't be exactly sure now how
much you have, or how much things
will cost. As usual, if you're very care-
ful, you'll get through with money left.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) Today is a 6.
A bit of a conflict develops, and you
are practically on the sidelines. The
outcome could affect you, though. Pay
attention and get involved.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) Today is a 7.
Yes, there is more work than you can
possibly do in one day. It could interfere
with an outing you've got planned.
Lessen the stress, and postpone the trip.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is a 5.
Love's abundant today and tomorrow,
but money is apt to be tight. Don't get
into an argument, there's plenty where
that came from. Money, that is.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Today is a 6.
You can do a lot of the work around
your place all by yourself. The first
phase involves making a mess. You'll
love it, once you get into it.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Today is a 7.
During the coming day or two you'll
make amazing discoveries. Of course,
it's a good idea to be in the right place
at the right time. That part is up to you.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Today is an 8.
You're not much in the mood to work,
but don't go shopping, either. The
temptation to spend on stuff you don't
need is way too great. Sort and file.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Today is a
7. You're full of energy now, but condi-
tions are not all that good. The odds
are high you'll say something that
somebody else won't like, or the other
way around. Take care.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today is a
7. It would appear that somebody's on
your case to move quickly. You may
not have created the emergency, but to
benefit, correct it.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Today is a 7.
Don't brag about what you're doing.
You're liable to arouse jealousies or
criticism, neither of which you want.
It's wiser to keep your mouth shut
about your success.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Today is an
8. You're into new territory now, so
you'll run into new problems. You've
been able to speak freely about what
you're doing. That's not a good idea
now. Mum's the word.

Former Kansas guard named interim coach
PORTLAND, Ore. For all
his popularity among the play-
ers and the fans, Portland Trail
Blazers coach Maurice Cheeks
ultimately didnt have the wins.
Former Kansas guard and
team director of player person-
nel Kevin Pritchard was named
interim coach.
Cheeks was fired yesterday
morning, after the Blazers had
lost seven of their last nine and
tumbled to 22-33.
Its a sad day for me because
Ive got guys on my team that I
really ... , Cheeks said, his
voice trailing off in disappoint-
ment during an emotional news
conference a few hours after he
was let go.
I didnt do as well a job as I
could have, as I did in previous
years, he concluded.
With Portlands chances of
making the playoffs dwindling,
the Blazers chose to look for
other options.
Our players liked Mo a great
deal, but sometimes a fresh
voice might ignite them to go in
a different direction, Blazers
general manager John Nash
said.
While the Blazers are not
entirely giving up on the play-
offs, Pritchards appointment
shows the team is going to focus
on evaluating younger players.
Im not going to mislead
anybody. Its a long uphill battle
to get to the playoffs from where
were at 11 games under
.500, Blazers president Steve
Patterson said.
The Blazers are in 12th place
in the Western Conference, six
games behind the Lakers for the
eighth and final playoff spot.
Portland went 41-41 last season
and missed the playoffs for the
first time in 22 years.
Portlands latest defeat came
Tuesday night, 103-93 to the
defending champion Detroit.
That left Cheeks with a 162-139
record as Blazers coach. He was
in the final year of a four-year
contract worth an estimated $12
million.
Cheeks, who played in the
NBA for 15 seasons, was hired
by Portland in 2001 to replace
Mike Dunleavy.
I enjoyed teaching kids, I
enjoyed being around the play-
ers and I loved the game itself,
Cheeks said.
But the Blazers hardly made
Cheeks tenure easy, on or off
the court.
There were several players
cited for marijuana possession
and forward Qyntel Woods was
investigated in a dog fighting
scandal.
Former Blazers forward
Rasheed Wallace drew unwant-
ed attention to the team two
seasons ago when he threatened
a game official on the loading
dock of the Rose Garden.
Wallace, later traded, was sus-
pended for seven games by the
NBA.
Although he was generally
popular among his players,
Cheeks did have a couple of
high-profile verbal run-ins
with former guard Bonzi Wells
and current forward Darius
Miles. Both players served
team suspensions for their
actions.
Cheeks never shied away
from questions about his teams
misbehavior, bringing him the
respect of fans and reporters
who covered the Blazers.
He endeared himself to many
in April 2003 when he came to
the rescue of a 13-year-old girl,
Natalie Gilbert, who forgot the
words to the national anthem
before a playoff game against
the Dallas Mavericks. Cheeks
went to her side and helped her
with the words.
Both Patterson and Nash said
it was with great regret that they
broke the news to Cheeks at the
teams practice facility yesterday
morning.
We were kind of hoping in
January and February that wed
gain some momentum but
that didnt happen, Nash said.
The assistants who served
under Cheeks will remain with
the team.
Cheeks, 48, said hed likely
take a vacation, and wouldnt
mind coaching in some capacity
again soon.
I love the game too much to
stay away, he said.
Pritchard, hired by the
Blazers in August after serving
as a scout for the San Antonio
Spurs, was asked if he thought
the role as interim coach was an
audition.
This is not the role and not
the career path I want to take,
Pritchard said. That said, I
would do anything to help this
organization.
Pritchard, 37, who played at
Kansas, spent four seasons in
the NBA. Before joining the
Spurs organization, he served as
coach, general manager and
director of player personnel for
the Kansas City Knights of the
American Basketball
Association.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER The 20-year-old
woman who accused NBA star
Kobe Bryant of rape nearly two
years ago settled her civil law-
suit against him yesterday.
Terms were not released. A
statement faxed to The
Associated Press by Bryants
attorneys said only that the
matter had been resolved to
the satisfaction of both par-
ties.
The parties and their attor-
neys have agreed that no further
comments about the matter can
or will be
made, the
statement said.
A motion to
dismiss the
case was filed
simultaneously
in Denver fed-
eral court.
A Los
Angeles Lakers
s p o k e s ma n
said Bryant declined to com-
ment on the settlement. Bryant
was in Boston for a game
against the Celtics and was
unavailable before the game.
The lawsuit, filed three weeks
before the criminal case against
Bryant, collapsed last summer
and sought unspecified damages
for mental injuries, public scorn
and humiliation the woman said
she has suffered since their June
2003 encounter at the Vail-area
hotel where she worked.
A married father of one,
Bryant has apologized for his
behavior that night and for the
consequences she has suffered,
but has insisted the sex was con-
sensual.
Speculation that a settlement
was close increased Monday
after L. Lin Wood, one of the
womans attorneys, said
Bryants long-awaited deposi-
tion three days earlier had been
called off. Legal experts said a
settlement would be in the best
interest of both parties because
it would spare them the expense
and possible embarrassment of
a trial.
Bryant, 27, has never been
questioned under oath about
what happened in his hotel
room as he prepared for knee
surgery in Vail the next day.
The accuser is now married
and pregnant. Like the crimi-
nal case, the civil case ulti-
mately would have rested on
the testimony of a woman the
defense suggested was a
promiscuous, attention-seek-
ing liar.
The lawsuit was similar to the
outline of the criminal case,
accusing Bryant of flirting with
the woman during a tour of the
Lodge & Spa at Cordillera.
After the two ended up in his
room, they began to kiss and
Bryant became more aggressive,
finally holding her by the throat
while he raped her, the lawsuit
said.
