Ann Coulter wasnt on a
Nickelodeon game show the
last time she had pies thrown at
her. She was speaking to stu-
dents on a college campus.
Two students threw pies at
Coulter in October while she
spoke at the University of
Arizona in Tucson, according to
The Arizona Daily Wildcat, the
universitys student newspaper.
One student missed; the other
hit part of Coulters shoulder.
Both were
arrested after-
wards.
Coulter, a

lecture at 7
p.m. tonight in
the Lied
Center for the Vickers Memorial
Lecture Series.
The series purpose is to pro-
vide an open and constructive
forum for critical thinking, dia-
logue and debate, said Toni
Dixon, director of communica-

Issue in the works
KUnited has promised to
work with the Athletics
Department to deliver an online
ticket redemption system for
mens basketball. But depart-
ment officials say the ticket sys-
tem will be put in place regard-
less of who is elected.
KUnited representatives have
met with Jim Marchiony, associ-
ate athletics director for external
affairs, three times during the
past three months to discuss the
system, said Nick Sterner,
Shawnee junior and KUnited
presidential candidate.
Representatives from the other
coalitions, Delta Force and
Student Voice, have not dis-
cussed the issue.
This isnt something that
were just trying to take credit
for, Sterner said. This is some-
thing that weve already taken
progressive steps to make sure it
happens.
Marchiony said he had talked
with KUnited about the issue,
but the decision to implement
the new system was not based
on one coalitions involvement.
Were not doing this
because any particular group
has asked us to do it, he said.
We are doing this based on
our desire to improve the sys-
tem and have the best possible
system for students.
The departments desire for a
new system was not based on
receiving an excessive number
of complaints. The department
didnt receive any more com-
plaints after the seasons first
pickup period last October, he
said.
Dennis Chanay, Paola fresh-
man and Student Voice presi-
dential candidate, said a new
system was a good idea, but
Student Voice focused on other
issues. Chanay said it should
not have been on KUniteds
platform if it was going to hap-
pen anyway, Chanay said.
Elaine Jardon, Overland Park
sophomore and Delta Force
presidential candidate, said she
thought KUnited often prom-
ised to deliver services that were
already in the works, such as
wireless Internet in the Kansas
Union.
This is a trend with them,
she said.
Jardon said Delta Force did
not talk with the department
about an online ticket system
because it tended to focus on
more activist issues, such as sex-
ual health care. Because the sys-
tem would likely be implement-
ed anyway, Jardon said Delta
Force didnt need to make it an
issue.
It doesnt matter who you
vote for; youre going to enjoy
the benefit, she said.

PHI KAPPA THETA
Fraternitys fate lingers, hearing delayed
Phi Kappa Theta fraternity
has to wait to appeal to the
Interfraternity Council execu-
tive board regarding a previous
expulsion from the University of
Kansas.
The hearing was supposed to
occur yesterday, but one of the
judicial board members was
stuck in Las Vegas and could
not return to Lawrence until
today, said John Byerley, vice
president of public relations for
the IFC and member of The
University Daily Kansan edito-
rial board.
Byerley said the hearing was
re-scheduled for 5:30 p.m. today.
Matt Moreno, president of Phi
Kappa Theta and Wichita sopho-
more, said the president of the
Phi Kappa Theta alumni associa-
tion had an emergency situation
that prevented him from attend-
ing the hearing as well.
Scott Shorten, IFC president,
said the executive board had
three options after the appeal.
We could uphold the judicial
boards decision, reject it com-
pletely to where they have no
punishment, or modify it,
Shorten said.
The IFC judicial board
expelled Phi Kappa Theta, 1111
W. 11th St., on March 7 for hav-
ing an unregistered party at its
house. The chapter faced 24
charges for recruitment and
alcohol policy violations.
Police confiscated 16 kegs of
beer, $517 in cash and signs that
advertised the party during the
weekend of Feb. 19.
The executive board has five
school days to make a decision
after the appeal.
If the executive board decides
that Phi Kappa Thetas expulsion
is the proper punishment, the
fraternity could appeal for a sec-
ond and final time. The IFCs
general assembly, which con-
tains the president of each chap-
ter fraternity and a representa-
tive, would conduct the hearing.
We would probably appeal
for a second time if it came to
that, Moreno said. Right now,
were focused on this appeal.

Discounts combat high fuel prices
The price at the pump does
not seem to be dropping any
time soon. Gas prices have
raised to as high as $2.13 aver-
age for the state, according to
kansasgasprices.com.
Higher costs not only hit the
pocketbook of patrons. They
also affect the policies and
sales of the businesses around
Lawrence.
Weve had to get a little
more creative in our give-
aways, said Brian Long, gen-
eral manager of Zarco 66 No.
3, 900 Iowa St. We needed to
find other ways to help our
customers.
To combat the higher gas
prices, Zarco and other busi-
nesses have created new incen-
tives for choosing their stores.
Customers who buy a car
wash can save up to $2.50 off
the total price of gas, Long
said.
We wanted to offer more
savings to our customers,
Long said. This can help offset
the cost of gas.
Patrons who have Dillons
cards can get discounts off one
gallon of gas at the Dillons Gas
station, 3000 W. Sixth St., and
Kwik Shops throughout the
city. The Hy-Vee Gas station,
4000 W. Sixth St., also offers
cash back with a receipt of pur-
chase from the Hy-Vee grocery
store. Each store varies on sav-
ings.

Rising pump costs
increase gas thefts
Lawrence gas stations are watching
out for an increase in gas thefts stem-
ming from higher prices.
Kelly Williams, manager at Zarco 66
No. 4, 1500 E. 23rd St., said that her
store saw an increase in gas thefts when
the gas prices got high.
Its happened as often as twice a
day, Williams said. We can go
for months without having one
and then, all of a sudden,
have a burst of them.
Since Jan. 30, a total of 27
gas thefts around the city have
been reported to Lawrence
police. According to police
reports, the peak of seven
thefts occurred during the
week of March 6.
The average gas price in
Kansas during that week was
$1.97.
Employees at gas stations
are trained to be more aware
of the potential for an increase
in gas thefts, said Brian Long,
manager at Zarco 66 No. 3,
900 Iowa Street.
Long said the employee on
duty was able to identify which
customer stole the gas nine out
of 10 times.
We catch most of them,
Long said. The education
process for employees goes a
long way.
Williams said her store used
video cameras and binoculars
to catch the license plates of thieves.
We chase them if we have to, she
said.

ing other options to deter people from

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. The
two space station astronauts installed
antennas and released a baby Sputnik
during a spacewalk yesterday, com-
pleting the work just before the orbit-
ing outpost drifted and rolled slightly
because of overloaded gyroscopes.
The astronauts were in no danger,
and the slow roll which lasted just
17 minutes was not unexpected.
NASA said the space station held
steady longer than anticipated.
For reasons that are not entirely clear
to NASA, the space station has tended
to drift during spacewalks over the past
year or so. The space agency thought
the problem might be even worse this
time because one of the gyroscopes that
keep the orbiting outpost stable and
pointed in the right direction stopped
working two weeks ago.
But the space station held steady
until the very end of the 4 1/4-hour
spacewalk, when it went into a partial,
slow-motion cartwheel. The drift lasted
far less than the three hours expected.
Flight controllers could have pre-
vented this so-called free drift by
immediately firing the stations
thrusters but waited to do so until the
spacewalkers were out of the way,
rather than risk contaminating their
spacesuits with toxic rocket fuel.
Right after the spacewalk, one of
the two good gyroscopes exhibited a
brief but unusually strong vibration.
Engineers were keeping close watch
over the big spinning wheel, which
appeared to be working fine later in
the day. Besides the gyroscope that
shut down two weeks ago, another
broke three years ago.
Laboring 220 miles above Earth,
Commander Leroy Chiao and his
Russian crewmate, Salizhan Sharipov,
plugged in four antennas for a new type
of cargo carrier due to fly next year.
They also released a 1-foot-long, 11-
pound satellite called Nanosputnik,
designed for experimental maneuvering
by ground controllers.
During the spacewalk, they left the
space station empty. With the shuttle
fleet grounded since the 2003
Columbia catastrophe, the space sta-
tion has been home to only two astro-
nauts at a time, instead of the usual
three.
Chiao and Sharipov hustled
through their work and wrapped
everything up more than an hour
early, despite extra safety precautions.
NASA and the Russian Space
Agency instituted the extra measures
to avoid a repeat of the problem that
happened during the mens spacewalk
in January. Because of a miscommuni-
cation during that outing, Chiao got
too close to the firing thrusters. This
time, the thrusters, which fire auto-
matically when the space station tips
out of balance, were disabled for the
astronauts safety.
Engineers have yet to identify the
mysterious force that causes the space
station to tilt during spacewalks. The
space station needs to point in the
right direction so that its solar panels
continue generating electricity and
certain components do not become
overheated from exposure to the sun.
The spacewalkers ignored the
recent problem that knocked out the
gyroscope; visiting shuttle astronauts
will tackle that repair job in two
months.
The two station residents have
spent the past several weeks dealing
with an assortment of breakdowns,
including an oxygen generator that
still is not working. Over the week-
end, they replaced a pump panel that
is part of a critical cooling system.
NASA hopes to launch Discovery
to the space station in mid-May.
Technicians had trouble aligning
the shuttle and its transporter yes-
terday for the big move from the
hangar to the Vehicle Assembly
Building, where the booster rockets
and redesigned fuel tank are
attached. The move was resched-
uled for today.

Lawrence gas stations are devising ways
to keep customers filling up at their
pumps rather than at their competitors
in the wake of statewide gas price hikes.
Some are offering discounts. Others are
offering overall low prices. But all are
fighting peoples urges to walk or ride
bikes until the prices go down. PAGE 1A

The Jayhawks were certainly a talented team with
one of the best senior classes in KU history.
Throughout the season, though, and culminating in
their final game, the Jayhawks relied too much on
their talent to squeak out close victories. In the end,
a strong desire to win can overcome a less-motivat-
ed, talented team. Columnist Jack Weinstein says
that it takes motivation for a team to make a long
run in the NCAA Tournament. PAGE 12A

Coalition denies allegations
The Student Voice coalition filed
an appeal yesterday with the
University Governance after the
election violations hearing on
March 17.
Dennis Chanay, Student Voice
presidential candidate, said the
Elections Commission did not hold
the hearing correctly.
We didnt feel the hearing was
run correctly, Chanay said. We are
going to fight for this because we
think they are wrong.
Chanay, Paola freshman, had
issues with the election commission
chairman Luke Thompson.
Thompson, Lawrence sopho-
more, filed two complaints that Web
sites maintained by Student Voice
contained libelous statements about
the KUnited coalition.
Thompson said the Elections
Commission would comment on the
coalitions appeal.
Chanay said Thompson broke
numerous procedures during the
hearing. He said Thompson would
not allow Student Voice to ask him
questions about the complaints.
Chanay also said it was a violation
that Thompson did not have
records of the complaints, which
were supposed to be open to the
public.
During the hearing, the commis-
sion asked Chanay and other coali-
tion members to leave during the
deliberations. Thompson, the plain-
tiff, did not leave the room and
deliberated with the rest of the com-
mission.
Luke basically just served as a
judge, Chanay said. He is just say-
ing what is libel and whats not.
There was no consulting with other
members to clarify what is libel and
what isnt.
Chanay said Student Voice would
not change the way it was cam-
paigning because it didnt feel like it
had done anything wrong.
University Governance said any
information it had on the appeal
was confidential and would not be
released.
If University Governance accepts
Student Voices appeal, it will
schedule a hearing.
It must render a decision within
30 days following the hearing.

Spring Break, emergency delays fraternitys appeal hearing
The Associated Press
Campus leaders set to leave office
While Student Senate candidates
all over campus will campaigning,
two student leaders will be preparing
to leave office.
With two weeks left until elec-
tions, Steve Munch, student body
president, and Jeff Dunlap, vice
president, reflected on their year in
office. They said they accomplished
most of what they set to do but still
would have a lot to hand over to the
next president and vice-president.
Last spring was one of the best
times of my life, Munch said. Now,
I can sit back and focus on what we
have to do to finish strong, instead
of getting involved.
Munch and Dunlap will spend
their last month in office trying to
finish projects that have already
been started.
Dunlap will spend much of his
time lobbying for Student Union
Activities. During the Senate elec-
tions, there will also be a referendum
proposing a $5 student fee for SUA.
Dunlap wrote the original bill and
said that would occupy a lot of his
time.
Dunlap will also work with
Munch to provide the new student
body president and vice president
with a detailed end of the year report
something Dunlap said hasnt
been always been done well in the
past.
Munch will continue to meet with
administrators and discuss the guar-
anteed tuition plan. Under guaran-
teed tuition, students would pay the
same rate per credit hour all years
they are in college.
Munch will also continue to make
trips to the state capitol in Topeka to
meet with legislators and the Board
of Regents.
Munch said trying to cram so
much into their last month was one
of the difficulties of Student
Senate.
Turnover is a major disadvantage
of student government, Munch
said. A lot of times, one year is not
enough to get what you want com-
pletely finished.
Some of the projects that Munch
and Dunlap will turn over to the
new president are trying to build an
information shack in front of
Stauffer-Flint Hall to replace the
existing bus stop and continuing dis-
cussion on both alcohol sales at the
Union and guaranteed tuition.
Munch and Dunlap received
praise from two of the candidates
running for office this year. Both
Elaine Jardon, Delta Force presiden-
tial candidate and Overland Park
sophomore, and Nick Sterner,
KUnited presidential candidate, said
Munch and Dunlap did a good job
while in office.
Sterner, Shawnee junior, said he
admired both Munch and Dunlap
and the work they had done this
year.
Their platform last year was
amazing, and it got accomplished,
Sterner said. They are two people
that genuinely care about the stu-
dent body, and that is how Senate
should be.
Sterner said he would not hesitate
to ask Munch and Dunlap questions
throughout the election process and
seek advice.
Jardon said she was very pleased
with Munch on a specific piece of
legislation that he wrote about a stu-
dent leadership conference, some-
thing that Delta Force had on its
platform last year.
Steve has worked very hard to try
and get a student leadership confer-
ence to come to KU, Jardon said.
He came to me and asked me ques-
tions and advice. I thought it was a
very classy move and went above
any expectations I had.
Dunlap said he would not be
completely removed from the elec-
tion this year.
I will still read the chalking on
campus and the articles in the news-
paper, Dunlap said. It is a very
unique process and one I enjoy
watching.

after speaking with city officials.
There is currently no student
seat on the city commission.

Students must have vaccinations
Good grades and ACT scores
arent the only requirements stu-
dents must meet to be accepted
to the University of Kansas.
Along with academic require-
ments, potential students must
have a current immunization
record that includes the MMR
vaccination for measles, mumps
and rubella.
College students spend much
of their time in high population
areas, such as residence halls and
large lecture halls, said Patricia
Denning, chief of staff at Watkins
Memorial Health Center.
When you have people
coughing and sneezing all over
a lecture hall, its easy for things
to get passed on, she said.
The diseases covered by the
MMR vaccination are easily
passed from person to person,
which is why the University
requires students to be up to
date with it, Denning said.
A series of two vaccinations
provides life-long immunity to
the three diseases, Denning
said. People usually receive the
MMR vaccine as a child, and it
is a requirement for enrollment
at public schools.
After living in McCollum Hall
last semester, Claire Wyatt,
Kansas City, Kan., freshman,
said she was glad that vaccina-
tions were required for students
at the University.
With how much my friends
and I passed colds between us,
its good that they make us pre-
vent the nastier illnesses, she
said.
It isnt uncommon for students
to not be vaccinated, or not have
record of it, Denning said.
Students who think they may
have been vaccinated but have
no record of it can be tested and
vaccinated if needed, she said.
But some students have legit-
imate reasons for not being vac-
cinated.
Medical reasons such as
immune response problems and
other medical conditions can
prevent someone from receiving
a vaccination, Denning said.
There are also those who refuse
vaccination for religious and
personal reasons, she said.
The easily-transmitted
meningococcal bacteria has also
prompted the University to
write a new policy for meningi-
tis vaccinations.
Students were encouraged to
receive the vaccination before,
but all students living in
University housing will be
required to have the vaccination
in Fall 2005.
The diagnosis of several stu-
dents around the state,
prompted the new policy. The
state Legislature has also pro-
posed a bill for a similar policy
for all Board of Regents schools
for Fall 2006.
The University is kind of
leading the way in this area,
Denning said.
There are many other vacci-
nations available that arent
required for students but are still
encouraged. Watkins offers vac-
cinations for diphtheria-tetanus,
hepatitis B, and chickenpox.
Vaccinations required to
study abroad are also offered
and include yellow fever and
typhoid.

Legislator alleges
conflicts of interest
DENVER At least three
University of Colorado profes-
sors charged with reviewing
whether professor Ward
Churchill plagiarized or com-
mitted academic dishonesty
have either signed petitions or
made public statements ques-
tioning the case against him.
Joseph Rosse, director of the
office of research integrity and
one of 12 members of CUs
Standing Committee on
Research Misconduct that will
consider the Churchill case,
said he did not think his col-
leagues had any conflicts of
interest.
State Rep. Ted Harvey, R-
Highlands Ranch, disagreed.
The patients are in charge
of the asylum, said Harvey, a
critic of how CU has handled
the Churchill case.
On Thursday, university
administrators released a
report saying allegations that
Churchill plagiarized others
work, misrepresented others
work to bolster his own ideas,
or misrepresented his
American Indian heritage merit-
ed investigation.
The standing committee will
review the claims and deter-
mine whether Churchill should
be disciplined or fired.
Churchill, a tenured ethnic
studies professor, denies the
allegations.
Churchill has been scruti-
nized since a public outcry over
one of his essays that included
statements comparing some
Sept. 11, 2001, victims to a top
Nazi. University administrators
determined the comments
were protected by free speech.

Earthquake hits Indonesia, kills nearly 300
BANDA ACEH, Indonesia
A powerful earthquake struck
late yesterday off Indonesias
west coast, killing nearly 300
people whose homes collapsed
on them and spreading panic
across the Indian Ocean that
another killer tsunami was on
the way.
But fears of a second tsunami
catastrophe in just more than
three months eased within hours,
as officials in countries at risk
reported their coasts clear of the
type of quake-spawned waves
that ravaged a dozen countries in
Asia and Africa on Dec. 26.
All of the deaths reported in
the hours immediately after yes-
terdays quake were on
Indonesias Nias island, off
Sumatras west coast, which was
close to the epicenter.
In one town, Gunungsitoli,
about 70 percent of buildings
had collapsed in the market dis-
trict, officials said.
Hundreds of buildings
have been damaged or have
collapsed, said Agus
Mendrofa, the islands deputy
district head. He told el-Shinta
radio station that at least 296
people had died in
Gunungsitoli.
Nias, a renowned surfing
spot, was badly hit on Dec. 26,
when at least 340 residents were
killed and 10,000 were left
homeless.
The U.S. Geological Survey
measured yesterdays quake at
magnitude 8.7 and said its epi-
center was 155 miles south-
southeast of Banda Aceh, the
capital of Aceh province on
Sumatra island.

GUEST COMMENTARY
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Without a miracle, Terri
Schiavo will be dead or very
nearly dead by the time this
column is printed, starved by
her husband and the courts
of the state of Florida against
the wishes of her parents.
Contrary to what some
have reported to the media,
Terri Schiavo was not termi-
nally ill prior to being starved and has never
been on life support.
Her lungs, kidneys, and heart all function
fine. But, because of a malnu-
trition-induced collapse in
1990, she was severely brain-
damaged.
She requires a feeding tube
for nourishment, and when
her husband, Michael
Schiavo, ordered that her
feeding tube be removed
the third time it has been
removed per his request since
1998 she began the long
process of starving to death.
Though Michael Schiavo is
legally Terris husband, its
been years since hes convinc-
ingly filled that role. Michael
lives with and is engaged to
another woman, and he has two children by her.
For all intents and purposes, Michael has moved
on. Yet Michael has remained married to Terri,
seemingly only for the purpose of ending her life.
Meanwhile, Terris parents, Bob and Mary
Schindler, along with Terris siblings and friends,
have fought desperately to save her. In 1993, the
Schindlers lost faith in Michaels care and
attempted, unsuccessfully, to usurp guardian
authority from him.
They have always maintained that they would
gladly take guardianship from Michael, let him
enjoy his new life and provide quality care and
rehabilitation for Terri. Michael has consistently
refused.
The Associated Press reported that in 2002, six
doctors examined Terri and tried to determine
whether or not she could recover from her sup-
posedly vegetative state.
Four doctors said that she could not, while two
doctors said that she could.
Despite the hope, Michael refused to rehabili-
tate her and continued to push for her death.
Even more disturbing was
the affidavit and interviews
given by Carla Sauer Iyer, a
registered nurse, who has
claimed that Terri was able to
communicate verbally and
through body language with
the staff at Palm Garden of
Largo Convalescent Center.
Iyer explained in her affi-
davit that she cared for her between 1995 and
1996. Iyer also explained that Michael was
adamant that Terri not be treated or rehabilitated
and often asked Iyer and other
nurses questions like When is
she going to die?, Has she
died yet? and When is that
bitch gonna die? according to
her affidavit.
Michael and two of his rela-
tives claim that Terri told them
before her illness that she
would not want to live in such
a state. The Schindlers say that
Terri would never have made
such a claim.
Of course, Michael never
mentioned such a statement
during his malpractice lawsuit
when he promised to care for
her and rehabilitate her.
But to make this case a right-to-die case,
Michael has given the claim as the key reason as
to why Terri should be starved.
The courts put Terris life in the hands of an
unfaithful husband with a monetary incentive to
kill her, and he convinced the court to help him by
using a selective memory that is nothing more
than hearsay.
Their alternative is to award guardianship to a
family that loves her, that is more than willing to
care for her and that is convinced that they can
rehabilitate her.
This decision seems so easy to me; if an error is
to be made, let her live too long rather than cut
her life too short. Why kill a woman who has an
ounce of hope and willing caretakers?
I didnt think such an inhumane thing could
happen in America to one person and to one
family. Maybe we arent as decent as I had
thought.

Black community sets difficult barrier
to overcome with its own oppression
I read Tierra Scotts column on March 16, as I
like to read and hear the opinions of todays
youth.
I will agree with her that whites will not
begin to understand what the black race has
suffered.
But I wish to comment on the culture of hip-
hop that she often refers to in her column.
I dont understand a culture and race that dei-
fies drug dealers and gangsters. I also dont
understand why its hip to degrade women by
calling them bitches and hoes, to use them
and throw them to the side when the men are
done with them.
I also dont understand why the culture the
killing of its young men.
I mean, just take a look at 50 Cent, because he
was shot numerous times and survived he is a
hero.
Nevermind that he is a ganster and because
he can rap he is a star. Ms. Scott talks about how
hip-hop can be a messenger to the world.
Is this the kind of message that the Black
and hip-hop community want to send to the
world?
I also dont understand when prominent black
members of the community speak out about the
tragedy happening to their youth like Bill
Cosby and they are told to be quiet.
I hear all the time how he is put down for
speaking out about whats happening.
I always hear how the black community has
suffered under the whites and I dont dispute that
its a fact.
But the worst oppression that the community
has suffered under right now is its own.
When I hear young black men throwing
around the N word it saddens me. They dont
see that by using that word other people can
still see them in that same light.
Its hard to lift yourself above ones own
oppression, but until then you cant lift yourself
above others oppression.
But this is just one white mans opinion look-
ing from the outside in.

The Kyoto Protocol repre-
sents an international
response to scientific evi-
dence that rising emission
rates of greenhouse gases are
linked to global warming,
which may have catastrophic
consequences for life on
Earth. In 1997, developed
countries that signed the
treaty agreed to cut their collective greenhouse gas
emissions to 5.2 percent below 1990 levels or face
stiff penalties.
Reductions would be achieved by the imple-
mentation of control technology in industries
and vehicles; this means that developed signing
countries will have to make a continuous invest-
ment to reduce gas emissions and to keep them
low.
Developing countries, which usually have pro-
found poverty and limited resources, are not yet
required to cut their emissions because of the neg-
ative impact on their economy.
For the Protocol to take effect, it had to be rat-
ified by the necessary 55 countries that account-
ed for at least 55 percent of global emissions in
1990.
In 1998, the Clinton administration signed and
therefore committed the United States to the
Kyoto Protocol.
But the Bush administration withdrew the
United States signature in 2001, claiming it had
a high cost to the U.S. economy and that devel-
oping countries needed to share in reduction of
emissions.
The United States is the only country to have
signed the protocol and then to have repudiated
it.
Also, the U.S. pollutes more, absolutely and
per head, than any other country in the world.
The U.S. population makes up 4.6 percent of
the global population, but U.S. pollution makes
up 21 percent of the global greenhouse gas emis-
sions.
Because three important
polluters the United
States, Russia and Australia
had not ratified the
Protocol it remained without
any effect on the signing
countries.
Russia finally ratified the
Protocol on Nov. 18; this
addition means that signing
countries of the Protocol now account for 61 per-
cent of the global emission of greenhouse gases
and that the Protocol is now binding in interna-
tional law.
At present, the Protocol has been signed by 141
countries including 30 industrialized countries
and took effect Feb. 16, thanks to the Russian
ratification.
Some can argue that the economic cost of rati-
fying the Kyoto Protocol justifies Bushs decision;
however, the U.S. position eludes the responsibil-
ity that the richest, most powerful and biggest pol-
luter of the world should have.
Also, it exacerbates the idea that the U.S. gov-
ernment does not care about worldwide initia-
tives like the Kyoto Protocol.
This also applies to other international legisla-
tion, like when the U.S. government tried to
obtain immunity from the new International
Criminal Court for American soldiers.
The implementation of the Kyoto Protocol
has to be seen as important, but still preliminary,
step to avoid worst consequences of global
warming.
The next obvious step is to demand the partici-
pation of the United States in this Protocol. It is
common sense that if you make a mess, you have
to clean the mess.
It doesnt matter if it is going to cost you time
and money.

Average coffee bean prices
The coffee industry is reacting to increased prices for two beans.
Prices for Brazilian coffee beans, which are used in most spe-
cialty coffees, have increased 39 percent from February 2004 to
February 2005. Prices for robusto beans, used in many instant
and canned coffees, increased 16 percent over the same period.

Court considers
law hierarchy
WASHINGTON The
Supreme Court, confronting a
case that tests the effect of inter-
national law in domestic death
penalty cases, showed little
interest yesterday in deciding
whether the U.S. government
could deny foreign suspects
access to legal help from their
consulates.
The court heard arguments in
the case of Jose Medellin, who is
challenging his 1994 conviction
and death sentence from a Texas
court, citing a violation of a U.S.
treaty that requires consular
access for Americans detained
abroad and foreigners arrested
in the United States.
Medellin says he is entitled to
a federal court hearing based on
a violation of the Constitutions
clause making treaties the
supreme law of the land.
Several justices seemed wary
of deciding who has final say on
interpretation of that treaty
state or federal courts, the U.S.
president or an international tri-
bunal after President Bush
last month ordered new state
court hearings for Medellin and
50 other Mexicans on death
row.
Isnt it true that the Texas
proceeding could make this
moot? asked Justice John Paul
Stevens. We may be engaged in
a lot of useless actions.
But Chief Justice William H.
Rehnquist wondered whether
delaying the case after Bushs
unexpected move would send
the wrong message that justices
endorsed his actions.

Disasters increase coffee price
Coffee drinkers might experi-
ence something that cigarette
smokers are already used to:
higher prices.
According to the International
Coffee Association, prices for
Brazilian coffees mostly used
for specialty coffees increased
about 39 percent and robusto
coffees mostly used for instant
coffees have increased about
16 percent from last February.
Eventually coffee drinkers
will start paying more for their
cups, said Joe Farthing, owner
of J&S Coffee, a coffee shop and
bean roasterie at 4821 W. Sixth
St.
A roasterie takes green coffee
beans and turns them into their
useful brown form.
For example, the price for
Brazil Yellow Pourbon beans
increased 16 percent on March
16, Farthing said.
Farthing wouldnt give the
exact price numbers. He said
it would be misleading
because coffee brokers gave
different deals to different
roasters.
J&S increased prices for all of
its coffee drinks up to 10 cents
last week. But, J&S hasnt
increased prices yet for its bulk
coffees, which it distributes to
hundreds of customers nation-
wide.
The reason for the spike in
prices: a drought in Brazil has
led to a smaller than usual
crop this year and tsunamis
have increased shipping costs
from Southeast Asia, accord-
ing to coffeecrew.com, a Web
site dedicated to coffee educa-
tion.
Higher gas prices made coffee
more expensive, said John
McClain, manager of Signs Of
Life, 722 Massachusetts St.
Despite higher prices from
distributors, McClain hasnt
raised his prices.

David Spears, the countys

Spears said the limbs
already had started to clog
streams, and with a stream,
creek or river flowing through

On top of that, much of the

Students across campus yes-
terday were divided as to
whether KUnited should be
able to claim the issue as its
own.
Kim Cooper, Lawrence sen-
ior, said KUnited should con-
trol the issue.
If theyre participating in the
process, they have every right to
put it on their platform, she
said.
Reginald Mitchell, Wichita
freshman, said the issue should
not be restricted to one coali-
tions platform.
If its going to happen any-
way, it should be on everyones
platform, Mitchell said.
Apart from being able to
redeem ticket purchases online,
Sterner said other facets of the
new system that KUnited repre-
sentatives and Marchiony have
discussed included ensuring
students ability to be able to
trade and sell their tickets to
other students, stopping stu-
dents who have graduated from
using their KUIDs to get into
games, reducing long lines, and
separating big games into differ-
ent periods to reduce the
chance of lotteries.
Marchiony said the depart-
ment had a long way to go
before it could implement the
system, so it was too early to say
exactly how the system would
work. But he said he hoped to
have it in place by the start of
the 2005-2006 basketball sea-
son.

The Vickers family selected
Coulter for the series. J.A.
Vickers, Sr. was a 1916 gradu-
ate of the University and found-
ed Vickers Patroleum Co. in
Wichita. His son Robert
Vickers, Sr. also supported the
lecture series.
Coulter is a lawyer and has
appeared on numerous talk
shows. She also wrote The New
York Times best-seller
Slander: Liberal Lies about the
American Right.
Some students are lining up
ahead of time in anticipation of
her lecture.
Members of the KU College
Republicans plan to show up
early and get good seats for the
event. Josh Steward, chairman
of the College Republicans,
invited members to show up at
5 p.m. and eat pizza while they
wait in line.
Steward said Coulter was a
controversial person and that
many people on campus dis-
liked her.
A lot of people on campus
hate conservatives, so that is
strike one, Steward said.
And if youre a woman or a
minority, and prominent in pol-
itics, then some people dislike
you more because you dont fit
their stereotype, so that is strike
two.
Lastly, she speaks her mind
strike three. People get upset
if you dont say what they want
to hear.
Coulter definitely strikes out
for many people, Steward said.
He said he had never heard
Coulter speak before and was
curious to know what she
would talk about.
I hope she makes a few
good political points instead of
just attacks, Steward said.
Coulter is known for criticiz-
ing liberal politics and making
controversial statements about
Democratic officials, such as
former presidential candidate
John Kerry and his wife, Teresa
Heinz Kerry.
As controversial as she is,
Coulter has attracted
Democrats in addition to
Republicans.
Bryan Behgam, vice presi-
dent of the KU Young
Democrats, said he planned on
attending the event tonight.
Behgam said he wanted to hear
what Coulter had to say.
I guess Im going for the
same reason people go to scary
movies, Behgam said. I want
to see what happens.
Behgam said he thought
Coulter was more of an enter-
tainer than a real political ana-
lyst.
People like her do it for
notoriety rather than the edu-
cation of the public, Behgam
said. I think shes just saying
things for marketing, not her
true beliefs.
Whatever peoples opinions
are of her, Coulter has sparked
curiosity among both sides of
the political spectrum.
The lecture is free and open
to the public. Tickets are not
required for the event.

often adjust their prices accord-
ing to the competition.
We dont really do any dis-
counts, said Mike Dressler,
assistant manager of Diamond
Shamrock, Ninth and Ohio
Streets. We always have low
prices because of competi-
tion.
Dressler said four gas stations
were in the area, and each set its
prices based on what the other
gas stations were charging.
Although stores are trying to
help customers when and how
they can, the stores still need to
receive payment.
Long said he has thought
about making people prepay at
the pump, which he hopes will
discourage drivers from fueling
without paying.
It hasnt been bad enough yet
to start making everyone pre-
pay, he said.
Dressler said his station has
not yet considered requiring pre-
payment.
Gas attendants are responsi-
ble for all cars that are filled at
the station, Long said.
However, gas thefts have not
been on a dramatic rise for
Zarco, he said.
But incentives dont always
validate high gas prices for some
individuals. Bike riding, running
and walking are alternatives to
the rising cost of driving.
I try and ride my bike to cam-
pus two to three times a week,
said Jenny Hoyt, Topeka senior.
Her home is located near Sixth
and Kasold Streets. Ill ride a
lot more now that the weather is
getting nicer.
Long said he has seen more
people walking now than in the
past. But he said he has not seen
a boycott on gas sales yet.
Lawrence public transit,
University of Kansas transit
and even motorized scooters
get students to where they want
to be.
Prices
stealing gas, including pre-pay-
ing for gas.
One Lawrence station now
requires that all customers pay
before they pump.
Jeff Smith, a clerk at Conoco,
955 E. 23rd Street, said once the
gas price rose above $2.10, the
owner decided to begin using a
pre-pay system.
We lost $160 one Saturday
from drive-offs, Smith said.
Other stores, such as Zarco,
are more reluctant to use a pre-
pay system because it may
inconvenience some customers,
Williams said.
In the next few weeks, its
very likely that Zarco stores will
go to a pre-pay system to pre-
vent people from stealing gas,
Long said.
Although Long hasnt seen a
significant increase in gas thefts,
he said any theft was a big prob-
lem for a business.
Its one of those things where
someone does something illegal
and we all have to pay for it,
Long said.

MIDDLE EAST
Minister: Secure Iraq nearing
BAGHDAD, Iraq Iraqs
outgoing interior minister pre-
dicted yesterday that his coun-
trys emerging police and army
may be capable of securing the
nation in 18 months, saying his
officers are beginning to take
over from coalition forces.
Insurgents, meanwhile, tar-
geted Shiite pilgrims, setting off
two blasts that killed at least
three people.
Interim Interior Minister
Falah al-Naqibs comments
came as security was heightened
in the already heavily fortified
Green Zone, where the
National Assembly will hold its
long-awaited second session
today to choose a parliament
speaker and two deputies.
Negotiators haggled over
who would get the parliament
speaker job, considering interim
President Ghazi al-Yawer. They
hope the inclusion of Sunni
Arabs like him in the new gov-
ernment will help quell the
Sunni-led insurgency.
But al-Yawer turned down
the post and instead asked the
Shiite-led United Iraqi Alliance
for the vice presidents post, said
Ali Faisal, political coordinator
for the Shiite Political Council,
which is part of the alliance.
Alliance members agreed to
nominate former nuclear scien-
tist Hussain al-Shahristani as
one of two deputy parliament
speakers and interim Finance
Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi as
one of two vice presidents.
Alliance negotiator Jawad al-
Maliki said the Sunni Arabs
were expected to name a candi-
date for the parliaments speak-
er position today.
Al-Naqib predicted that mili-
tants would target Tuesdays
National Assembly meeting
only the second since the parlia-
ment was elected nearly two
months ago in the nations first
free election in 50 years. The
lawmakers met March 16 but
repeatedly have postponed a
second meeting because of
negotiations over Cabinet posi-
tions.
Roads were blocked off yes-
terday, and security was tight-
ened around the area, already
surrounded by concrete blast
walls and barbed wire. Several
mortar rounds slammed into the
banks of the Tigris River, just
short of the Green Zone.
Underscoring tensions with
the countrys majority Shiites
who make up 60 percent of
Iraqs estimated 26 million
people insurgents set off
two explosions targeting
Shiite pilgrims heading to
Karbala for a major religious
ceremony.
In Musayyib, 40 miles south
of Baghdad, a suicide bomber
on a bicycle blew himself up
near a police patrol protecting
the pilgrims, Capt. Muthana al-
Furati of the Hillah police force
said. Two policemen were
killed. The attack wounded two
other officers and three civil-
ians.
The other bombing took
place at the Imam al-Khedher
shrine compound in Khalis, 50
miles north of Baghdad. The
attack killed one pilgrim and
wounded two others resting at
the compound, Col. Abdullah
Hessoni Abdullah said.
Pilgrims travel to Karbala to
mark al-Arbaeen, the end of a
40-day mourning period after
the anniversary of the 7th-cen-
tury martyrdom of Imam
Hussein, one of the Shiite reli-
gions top saints.
In a news conference, al-
Naqib outlined progress by the
countrys fledgling security
forces, predicting that U.S.
troops would be able to begin
slowly pulling out of parts of the
country, and that hopefully,
within 18 months at the most
we will be capable of securing
Iraq.
We hope that next summer
there will be a huge reduction in
the numbers of multinational
patrols, he said. In some
cities, there will be no foreign
troops at all.
He said Iraqi police had bet-
ter intelligence on local insur-
gents and criminal gangs that
have flourished since the March
2003 U.S.-led invasion, helping
reduce the number of casualties
caused by car bombs and other
attacks.
I think it will collapse very
soon, he said of the countrys
insurgency.
The interior minister added
that Iraqs most-wanted terror-
ist, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, has
been surrounded in more than
one area, and we hope for the
best.
Al-Zarqawis organization
has claimed responsibility for
kidnappings and killings across
Iraq. On Sunday, militants post-
ed a video on the Internet show-
ing the purported execution of a
man identifying himself as
Interior Ministry official Col.
Ryadh Gatie Olyway. The
authenticity of the tape could
not be verified.
Al-Naqib gave no timeline
for a complete U.S. withdraw-
al, something U.S. officials
have repeatedly said hinged on
the security situation in Iraq
and the wishes of the Iraqi gov-
ernment.

NFL
Rams players trial
for felony begins
CLAYTON, Mo. Jury selec-
tion began yesterday in the trial
of St. Louis Rams defensive
end Leonard Little, accused as
a persistent offender of felony
drunken driving.
Little, 30, was arrested April
24 on Interstate 64 in the St.
Louis suburb of Ladue and
charged with speeding and
driving under the influence
after allegedly failing three field
sobriety tests.
No one was injured in that
case, and Little has pleaded not
guilty to both charges.
Little was charged as a per-
sistent offender because he
pleaded guilty to involuntary
manslaughter in a 1998 drunk-
en-driving accident in down-
town St. Louis that killed Susan
Gutweiler of St. Louis County.
In that case, Little served
three months in jail, four years
of probation and 1,000 hours of
community service. He also
was suspended without pay for
the first half of the 1999 sea-
son.
If convicted of the latest DWI
charge, Little could face up to
four years in prison along with
another NFL suspension.
Don Schneider, a spokesman
for St. Louis County Prosecutor
Robert McCulloch, has said jury
selection could take a couple of
days, and the trial could take a
week.
Jury selection went slowly
yesterday, with potential pan-
elists interviewed separately by
Circuit Judge Emmett M.
OBrien, Littles prosecutors and
the athletes defenders.
OBrien has not issued a gag
order, but previously said the
prosecution and defense had
agreed not to talk about the
case until it goes to trial.
OBrien also has barred prose-
cutors from mentioning at trial
Littles involvement in the fatal
1998 wreck.
Little, a Pro Bowl selection in
2003, last season had 46 tack-
les, 6.5 sacks and recovered
four fumbles.
NBA
Utah player Bogut
enters NBA draft
SALT LAKE CITY Utah
center Andrew Bogut will
enter the NBA draft, forgoing
his final two years of eligibili-
ty to possibly become the
No. 1 choice.
I have no regrets and full-
speed ahead, the 7-footer
from Australia said at a news
conference yesterday.
Bogut, the leading vote-get-
ter on the AP All-America team,
averaged 20.4 points and 12.2
rebounds while leading the
Utes to a 29-6 season, which
ended with a loss to Kentucky
in the regional semi-finals of
the NCAA tournament.
My decision is about what
is best for my basketball
career, Bogut said.
Bogut considered leaving
after last season, when he was
the Mountain West Conference
freshman of the year, but a visit
to Australia from new Utah
coach Ray Giacoletti convinced
Bogut to put off the NBA at
least another year.
Bogut is expected to be a
lottery pick in the NBA draft
and possibly the first player
chosen overall with his excep-
tional ball-handling skills for a
center. Bogut led Utah in
scoring and rebounding.
Doug Alden/The Associated Press
either. Miles was continually
beaten by Bison sophomore
Abe Badmus, who had 11
assists and no turnovers. Junior
Kevin Bettencourt led the Bison
with 19 points, including 10 in
the first half. Chris
McNaughton also scored 10
second-half points while con-
tinually posting up Simien and
junior Christian Moody.
The most disappointing
aspect of that game was that
Kansas lost to a team that did-
nt play its best game. Neither
Kansas nor Bucknell played
well. In previous tournament
upsets, the Jayhawks were vic-
tims of stellar performances.
In 1997, No. 4-seed Arizonas
Mike Bibby led the Wildcats
with 21 points. In 1998, No. 8-
seed Rhode Islands Cuttino
Mobley scored 27 points. In
both games, Kansas was a No.
1 seed, and it took nearly per-
fect performances from
Arizona and Rhode Island to
upset Kansas. Bucknell only
needed a mediocre perform-
ance this year.
Kansas played the were
more talented than you card
all season, escaping with close
victories against Vermont,
Texas A&M and Nebraska at
home. In those contests, the
opposition played harder and
wanted to win more than the
Jayhawks. Kansas won those
games with talent and luck,
not superb play. With the
exception of wins against
Kentucky, Georgia Tech, Texas
and Oklahoma State, Kansas
rarely played like a team that
wanted to win. For some rea-
son, the Jayhawks were
pumped up against their
toughest foes, but they played
down to the level of their
weaker opponents.
One can only guess why the
Jayhawks fell apart. The sen-
iors never quite bought into
Coach Bill Selfs system and
they never jelled as a team. The
freshmen didnt develop and
Self never had a consistent
rotation. Giddens and
Langford were inconsistent,
nearly everyone was injured at
some point during the season
and Self couldnt pump up his
players. Plus, guys named
Collison and Hinrich dont
play here anymore. Or maybe
the team just wasnt as good as
everyone thought.
All of these may be reasons
why a preseason No. 1-ranked
team that had one of its best
senior classes in history and
was expected to contend for the
National Championship could-
nt put the pieces together.
People cannot argue that the
KU seniors were some of the
most talented in the nation.
But they can argue that when
you dont show up and you
expect talent to take you to the
next level, it doesnt always
work out the way you had
planned.

Park senior in English

wasnt the appropriate time to
pat him on the back for his
efforts.
I dont know what else you
can say other than that every-
one associated with the pro-
gram appreciates you and is
proud of your effort, Self
said.
As much as Lees perform-
ance surprised outsiders,
Jayhawk fans came to expect
this type of play from the
unheralded senior that many
players claimed to be their team
leader.
In the second round of the
Big 12 Tournament on March
11, he pulled down a career-
high 12 rebounds in a victory
against Kansas State. He fol-
lowed that game by scoring 14
points against Oklahoma State
in the tournaments third
round.
Lee said he realized that he
became a solid contributor
for the Jayhawks as the year
progressed, and admitted the
end of his career was bitter-
sweet.
The only thing thats dis-
appointing is the way we
went out, he said. But I
guess that happens to every
team.

Both teams qualify for nationals
After a slow start at the
Intercollegiate Bowling
Championship Sectionals in
Chattanooga, Tenn., March 18 to 20,
both the mens and womens bowl-
ing teams were able to qualify for the
IBC Nationals in Rockford, Ill.
The teams took a 13-hour trip on
a charter bus, arriving just in time for
the Collegiate Singles Sectional.
Then they spent a late night watch-
ing the mens basketball team in the
NCAA Tournament.
None of the Kansas representa-
tives in the Singles Sectional quali-
fied for the Collegiate Singles
Championship. Senior Kelly Zapf
finished fifth overall and was four
pins out of the fourth and final qual-
ifying position. Teammate Kelly
Sanders, junior, was 15 pins behind
Zapf. The best showing on the mens
team was by junior Pat Eighmy, who
finished in eighth place and 54 pins
out of qualifying.
After 16 team games, the women
were in eighth place, 51 pins behind
the fourth place team. Meanwhile,
the men were in second place but
were 234 pins behind Pikeville
College and held only a 12-pin
advantage over Florida State
University. By the end of the day, the
women had jumped up to second,
shortening a 256-pin deficit to
Pikeville College to a 21-pin disad-
vantage. The men held their ground
at second and were able to pull with-
in 54 pins of Pikeville College.
Both teams were very sluggish on
Saturday morning, coach Mike
Fine said. But Saturday afternoon
they were able to bounce back, and
they bowled very well.
On the second day of competi-
tion, both teams slipped down a spot
in the standings. The women fell
behind second-place finisher,
McKendree College, by nine pins
but held a 579-pin advantage over
the fourth-place finisher.
The women put up a good fight
battling with McKendree, Fine said.
I am very pleased with them.
The mens team let Saginaw Valley
University move into the second
position, relinquishing a 288-pin
advantage going into the final block
of games, finishing behind by 35
pins.
Overall, were not exactly
pleased with how we performed, we
were pretty snafu, sophomore Trent
Overby said. It gives us something
to shoot for at Nationals.
The third place finishes by the
mens and womens teams qualify
them for the championship, which
will be held April 20 to 24. This is
third-straight year that the women
have advanced to the championship
and is the fifth-straight appearance
for the men.
Four girls on the team have been
there and know what to expect,
Zapf said. We need to make sure
the freshmen know what to expect,
also.

Two womens soccer players will be joining
the Womens Premier Soccer League this sum-

Sophomore Holly Gault and junior Caroline
Smith will both play for FC Indiana. FC Indiana is
a team made up of college and international
players.
Gault was a part of the Jayhawk defense,
which allowed only 13 goals all season, a ninth-
best average in the country of .55. Gault finished
with 13 points on the season, fourth-best on the
team. The national Soccer Coaches Association
of American and SoccerBuzz named Gault a
first-team All-American.
Smith was a third-team All-American for the
NSCAA and received an honorable mention
from SoccerBuzz. Smith is the programs all-time
leading scorer. She recorded 11 goals and 10
assists on the season.

Jayhawks to enter
final round today
The Kansas mens golf team
is just two strokes from the
lead in the 59th Western
Intercollegiate at the
Pasatiempo Golf Club in Santa
Cruz, Calif., today.
The Jayhawks stand alone in
second place in an 18-team
field after firing a two-round
total of 584 yesterday. Oregon
is in first place with a two-
round score of 582. Thirteenth-
ranked UCLA enters play today
in third place.
Senior Kevin Ward is in third
place after a first round 73, fol-
lowed by a second round 68.
Sophomore Gary Woodland
also played well, posting a two-
round score of 146.
Sophomore Tyler Docking
struggled in the opening round,
shooting a 78, but he rebound-
ed to fire a 73 in the afternoon
round for a two-round score of
151. Junior Luke Trammell and
junior Pete Krsnich each posted
scores of 152 through the first
two rounds.
Coach Ross Randall said that
he was pleased with the way
his team played in the opening
rounds but knew it would take
a lot to win today.
We really have to go out
there and concentrate on fin-
ishing, Randall said. This
course is a tricky and difficult
golf course, but this is the best
we have played here in the last
two or three years.
The men will tee it up this
morning in the final round.

Todays Birthday You may have to
defer gratification this year, but dont
complain. Whatever youre thinking of
buying will cost less the more cash
you can put down.
Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is a 7.
Its not a good time to take risks.
Reinforce your security instead, with
your own imagination and hard work.
Build it right, and then relax.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) Today is a 7.
A fool learns from their own mistakes,
a wise person from someone elses.
Pay attention and prove youre the lat-
ter. Let somebody else trip up.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) Today is an
8. Youre hardly earning enough to
make all this labor worth while. You
are learning discipline, however. Thats
your true reward.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) Today is a 7.
Youre gaining respect, even from
people who don't agree with you.
This is because you stand up for your
principles. You have some good
ones.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is a 7.
Having relatives over is good, gener-
ally speaking. If one of them doesnt
completely approve of your lifestyle,
dont dismay. You can bear the irrita-
tion.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Today is a 5.
Do the research, and you will find a
way to bring more money in. You
might increase sales or cut your costs
or both. Conditions are right.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Today is a 7.
It always helps if you push in the
direction you want to go. There's
plenty of money out there, so route
some more of it into your pocket.
Advertise.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Today is a 7.
In spite of everything, youll find this
day turns out in your favor. The added
impetus you need comes from a dis-
tant source.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Today is a
10. If theres something you need,
advertise on the grapevine. Tell a per-
son with lots of connections, and then
wait around for the calls to come in. It
wont take long.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today is a 6.
You always volunteer to do the icky jobs,
but wait. Maybe theres another way.
Talk to somebody whos been there and
done that. Minimize potential messes.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Today is a 7.
Your works in demand. Its up to you
to make sure its also respected. Dont
go for any pie-in-the-sky deals. Get
all the terms down in writing.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Today is a 7.
Somebody you love helps you stick to
the straight and narrow. Dont be dis-
tracted by wealth or glory, theyre too
transitional.

MENS BASKETBALL
Lee went out with a bang
Senior guard Mike Lee was
preparing for practice in Allen
Fieldhouse, three days before
the Kansas mens basketball
team lost to Bucknell in the first
round of the NCAA
Tournament, when a reporter
asked if he considered himself a
team leader.
Transfer guard Rodrick
Stewart overheard the conver-
sation and gave his two cents as
he walked by.
Yeah, Stewart said. Hes
the leader.
Lee grinned as Stewart
passed, laughed, and said, I
dont know about that. I think
Aaron Miles is our leader.
Whether Lee agreed with the
assessment or not, he certainly
played like a senior leader in the
Jayhawks season-ending loss to
the Bison. His performance was
one of the few positives Kansas
could take away from that game.
Lee replaced senior guard
Keith Langford in the starting
lineup, and played the best
game of his college career. He
scored a career-high 18 points
and grabbed seven rebounds.
Lee proved that he was wor-
thy of starting in the NCAA
Tournament, and if it werent
for Kansas losing the game,
Jayhawk fans might have
remembered his performance
for years to come.
Mike Lee was terrific,
Kansas coach Bill Self said. If
he doesnt play great, that game

Lee scored the first five
points of the game against

Early in the game I thought
they were quicker to the balls
than we were, with the excep-

He continued his clutch play
in the second half and hit two

Talent
doesnt
ensure
victory
While watching the North
Carolina vs. Villanova game
Friday, I started to think about
talent. As Villanovas lead
dwindled and North Carolina
started to pull away, I realized
that talent isnt always enough
to win games. This was the case
when Bucknell defeated
Kansas in the first round.
North Carolina was arguably
the most talented team in col-
lege basketball. And although
Villanova was also talented, it
didnt quite stack up against
North Carolina.
As much as I prayed for
another Roy Williams NCAA
Tournament upset, I knew that
North Carolina would find a
way to win. Unlike Kansas, it
was able to ride its talent to vic-
tory in a game that Villanova
clearly wanted to win more.
Kansas could not do the same
against a hungry Bucknell team
making only the third tourna-
ment appearance in its schools
history.
With the exception of seniors
Wayne Simien and Mike Lee,
the Jayhawks looked flat
against Bucknell. They didnt
execute on offense, played soft
defense, didnt hustle and were
outplayed. They looked like
they expected to win and didnt
think they needed to play hard
for a victory.
Its difficult for any team to
win a game when only two of
its players show up. Simien and
Lee combined for 42 points and
17 rebounds, which was more
than half of the entire teams
production in both categories.
Seniors Aaron Miles, Keith
Langford and sophomore J.R.
Giddens combined to go 2-for-
19 from the field for 12 points.
Eight of those points came
from the free-throw line.
The Jayhawk defense was
nothing to write home about Kansan file photo
Mike Lee yells after making a layup and being fouled in the March 18 game against Bucknell. Lee converted the three-point play on his way to
a career game with 18 points. It wasnt enough, though, as the Jayhawks lost in the first round to Bucknell 64-63. SEE WEINSTEIN ON PAGE 8A SEE LEE ON PAGE 8A

Its explosive, said Jonathan Edwards, Overland Park freshman.

noon.
Easier bowl trip?
The Kansas Jayhawks may
have an easier path to a bowl
game next season then original-
ly thought.
The NCAA is considering a
rule change that would allow
Division I-A teams to count a
victory against a Division I-AA
team every season.
Kansas is scheduled to face I-
AA Appalachian State on Sept.
10 at Memorial Stadium.
From everything we have
heard, it sounds like it is going
to go through with some other
things, but until that happens
we have to wait, said Larry
Keating, senior associate direc-
tor of the University of Kansas
Athletics Corporation.
If the proposal does not go
through, the Jayhawks would
have to go 7-4 in order to qualify
for a second bowl trip in the past
three seasons. The current rule
allows for I-A teams to count a
win over a I-AA opponent for
bowl considerations only once
every four years.
Keating had been in talks with
Division I-A schools for the past
year to fill that Sept. 10 date.
I talked to everyone who
was open for that date, Keating
said of the Sept. 10 game. The
problem was we couldnt find a
team that was willing to come to
us on that date.
Keating said that a home-
and-home was discussed. That
would mean the Jayhawks
would be host to the opponent
on Sept. 10 and then play at the
opponents home the following
year. He also said that they were
willing to compensate a
Division I-A team to come just
to Lawrence, but the discus-
sions never got that far.
Because no Division I-A
teams were available Keating
was forced to look for a I-AA
opponent, which led to
Appalachian State filling the
open date. An NCAA rule
change could be the best possi-
ble scenario for the Jayhawks.
We are very supportive and
we were aware of the proposal
when we were still trying to fill
that last open date, Keating said.
At an open practice on March
16, Kansas coach Mark
Mangino did not appear to be
frustrated with playing a I-AA
school, despite the potential of
needing an extra win to qualify
for a bowl game.
Funding update
The Athletics Department is
nearly halfway complete in its
fundraising for a football office
and training facility at Memorial
Stadium, according to an article
printed in the Lawrence
Journal-World.
Associate athletic director Jim
Marchiony told the Journal-
World that $15 million of the
nearly $30 million that was
expected to be needed for the
facility had been raised.
Marchiony said that since the
beginning of the year, $6 million
had been raised from anony-
mous donors.
We think that it is going well,
Marchiony said to the Journal-
World. Were impatient because
we want to do this. We wish it
were done, but were actively
working on that, and were confi-
dent that it will happen.

Uniform color change
could come this week
For several weeks, rumors
have been circulating that the
Kansas football team will don
new uniforms when it takes the
field in September.
Everything should be cleared
up within a week.
Associate athletics director
Jim Marchiony confirmed that
the athletics department is
looking into changing the color
of the teams jerseys.
We are looking at that right
now, Marchiony said. We
should probably know in a
week or so.
The University officially des-
ignated its color as royal blue
in February.
The KU football uniform has
been a darker shade of blue
since 2002, but because of the
change, it may be a lighter
shade of blue next season.
We are not sure if we are
going to be able to have it
begin next season or the year
following, Marchiony said.
The change of color means
that all University athletics
teams will be sporting the
same color of blue. Kansas
football wore a shade of blue
that will be similar to the new
jerseys before 2002.
