The KU Public Safety Office is investigating a battery that was reported early yesterday morning at a GSP-Corbin Hall parking lot. An 18-year-old female KU student was waiting for a ride home at about 2:30 a.m. in the parking lot on the west side of

GSP-Corbin when a white male approached her, grabbed her and pushed her to the ground, according to a media release from the Safety Office. She was just standing there, talking to a friend on her cell phone when someone came up behind her and pushed her down, said Capt. Schuyler Bailey, spokesman for the Safety Office. The woman hit the man in

the face and kneed him in the groin, and then the man hit the woman in the face and left the area, according to the release. Bailey said the reason for the attack was unknown. The woman called the Safety Office immediately after the attack, he said. The woman is not a resident of GSP-Corbin, Bailey said. The suspect is described as a white male with brown hair,

about 5 feet 11 inches tall, weighing about 190 pounds. He was wearing a black, long-sleeve T-shirt, black pants and black gloves, according to the release. This is the third incident in GSP parking lots since February 2004, according to Safety Office records. In February 2004, a female KU student was threatened at knifepoint in the lower level of the GSP-Corbin parking garage.

In that case, the suspect, described as a Hispanic male, had followed her in his vehicle from McCollum Hall to the parking garage. In September 2004, a KU student had her car stolen at gunpoint in the parking lot next to GSP-Corbin. The male suspect approached the woman after she parked her car and demanded her book bag and keys. As she left the scene, a shot

was fired as the suspect entered the car. That incident resulted in a car pursuit, which ended at 12th and Indiana streets. Anyone with information about the identity of the man or information about this recent incident is encouraged to call the Safety Office at 864-5900 or KU CrimeStoppers at 864-8888.

The KU Public Safety Office is investigating a possible overdose of GHB often referred to as the date rape drug that may have occurred last Thursday evening at GSPCorbin Hall. Around 6:30 p.m., a KU Public Safety officer arrived at GSP-Corbin in response to a report of a female KU student having a seizure, according to a KU Public Safety Office report. When he arrived, he saw a group of bystanders gathered around a 19-year-old female KU student lying face down and unresponsive in front of GSPCorbin. He saw another 19-year-old woman, who was incoherent, sitting on a bench next to the first woman, according to the report. The officer saw that one of the women had vomited on the sidewalk. A witness told the officer it was the incoherent female who had vomited. At the scene, one witness told the officer that the two women had used all kinds of drugs in the past, according to the report.

ne witness told the officer that the two women had used all kinds of drugs in the past, according to the report.
Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical arrived at the scene and transported both women to Lawrence Memorial Hospital for treatment of a drug overdose, according to the report. Once the women left the scene, the officer spoke with Kimberly Shears, Rochester, N.Y. graduate student and assistant complex director for GSPCorbin. She told the officer that an unidentified student observed the two females doing drugs in one of their rooms. Shears later told the officer that the drug was GHB. A plastic baggie and a blue plastic cup with clear liquid in it were taken from one of the womens rooms, according to the report.

ngela and Anne have the same secret. Both KU women were raped by men they knew. No physical scars remain, but the guilt and trauma of the rapes still linger. Both tried to forget that it happened. Both tried to trick themselves into believing it was their fault. Neither of the women, who asked that their last names not be used, reported it to police. Angela and Anne are two of many silent victims who are raped worldwide each year. Nationally, only one in every three rapes and sexual assaults will ever be re ported to police, according to the Rape Abuse and Incest National Network. In the last year in Lawrence, about 180 women sought attention at the GaDuGi SafeCenter, a local rape crisis center, most dealing with recent attacks. However, Lawrence police and KUs Public Safety Office say about 55 rapes were reported within the past year. Out of about 100 KU women who responded to a University Daily Kansan survey, more than 40 said they knew someone who had been raped. Out of those, 10 responded they were raped. Only two reported rapes to police. According to local rape crisis counselors, victims like Angela and Anne dont report being raped because of fear fear of being ostracized in their

It was a typical Friday night her freshman year. The party was like dozens of others with the same people shed partied with before. They were people she knew and trusted. A man shed known since high school had gotten her drinks. She was drinking a strawberry daiquiri. She didnt have many maybe two. Beginning to feel sick, the man helped her to the bathroom. He held her hair and took care of her. It was a sweet gesture, Angela said. Looking back, Angela has come to the conclusion she was drugged. Her limbs became almost numb and she found it hard to form consonants. She remembers trying to stop him from touching her and trying to yell for help. He laid her down on the yellow bathroom tile and raped her, telling her to shut up when voices and footsteps passed the door. According to the National Crime Victimization Survey, about 60 percent of rape victims knew their attacker most often the rapist was a friend or acquaintance. Statistics at the University of

Pi Beta Phi sorority, 1612 W. 15th St., gave the most donations last year. Stewart said she made trips to the chapter every day during finals last year. The sororitys donations box was full every time. In a house full of girls, its easy to find extra clothing, Katy Ibsen, Pi Beta Phi president, said. Many of the Pi Beta Phi women donate because the food and bedding goes toward the Womens Transitional Care Center, 2518 Ridge Court, the Boulder, Colo. junior said. The center is a refuge for battered women and their children. Money will go toward survivors of domestic violence. The center houses 19 survivors, said Shay OBrien, director of the volunteer program for the center. Any time someone donates, its wonderful because we dont have a lot of money, OBrien said. The council has collected donations from Pi Beta Phi in the past, Ibsen said. She said that it would have been beneficial to collect donations earlier in the year as well because some members have moved out by stop day. But she said that many of the mem-

bers still around gave what they could. When they realize it is for other women that have been hurt, it makes it easier to donate, Ibsen said. Part of our mission statement is forming womens morals in their daily lives, and Womens Transitional Care falls under that. Clothing will be cleaned, sorted and sold at a garage sale in west Lawrence. The council raised $500 to $600 from the garage sale last year, Stewart said. The money will go toward the fall and spring bioregional conference. The council has collected donations at the University since 1990, Stewart said. It used to be called Dorm Pickup, when the council collected donations from the residence halls on campus. Residence halls began donating to KU Recycling in 2001, said Jeff Severin, environmental services manager. Because the greeks seemed to be the second largest community on campus, the council began accepting donations from them, Stewart said. Edited by Kendall Dix

Brenna Whisney, Edina, Minn., sophomore, has started a book drive at the University of Kansas this week for Books for Africa, a non-profit organization. The University is one of 200 colleges and universities to participate in the drive. Textbooks that cannot be bought back can be donated. ping, boxes and advertisements. The leftover books are then donated to 23 different African countries. I think its like we have a social responsibility to each other, Whisney said. If I have a book Im not using, why not try to find a place that someone else can use it? Frank Lynn, former Peace Corps volunteer, already has collected two thousand books for Zambia, the country he served in during his time in the Corps. He decided to donate them to Whisneys drive for Books for Africa because he had been unable to send them due to shipping costs. Book drive boxes have been placed in fraternity and sorority houses, scholarship halls, at the Student Involvement and Leadership Center and at the Jayhawk Bookstore. The drive will continue through May 20. Any books collected in the recycling bins at the residence halls or at the Jayhawker Towers also will be donated to the collection. Whisney plans to volunteer for Books for Africa this summer. In the future, she said she hoped to be able to travel to Africa and personally deliver the books. Edited by Ross Fitch

Bus crash kills two in Missouri

BY BILL DRAPER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LIBERTY, Mo. A school bus carrying 53 elementary school children crashed into two vehicles at a busy Liberty intersection yesterday morning, killing two people in the vehicles and sending at least three children to area hospitals with life-threatening injuries. Liberty Police Chief Craig Knouse said police didnt know why the southbound bus, which was trying to turn west, slammed into the two eastbound vehicles, which were stopped next to each other while waiting for a stoplight to change in the community about 15 miles north of Kansas City. He said the bus normal route was to continue south on 291 to Ridgeview. Knouse identified the victims as David Gleason, Liberty, and David Sandweiss, whose hometown was not immediately available. Their ages were not released. They were the only people in the vehicles. Police said 23 students were taken to three area hospitals with injuries, and the other 15 were released to their parents. Obviously its a worst nightmare, basically, Liberty School Superintendent Scott Taveau said. This is a community that cares about kids and cares about education. This is a tragedy for this community. Laura Fitzmaurice, head of the emergency department at Childrens Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, said 10 children were taken there, including two in critical condition and five hospitalized in serous condition. The children, who ranged in age from 6-11, suffered head injuries, cuts, scrapes, broken bones and neck injuries, she said. At Liberty Hospital, spokeswoman Denise Seley said one child underwent emergency surgery and another three had been airlifted from there to Childrens Mercy. The bus driver, whose name was not released, was being treated at a hospital yesterday afternoon. Taveau said the driver was a seven-year veteran driver who had an impeccable record. He also defended the districts bus safety record. He said there had been only minor school bus fender-benders in the six years he had led the district. Our bus drivers, we have a great safety record, accident free, Taveau said. I would put our school bus drivers against any school bus drivers in the state. Immediately after the crash, dozens of workers at nearby businesses rushed to the scene to help the children off the bus. Many people from the community in the area simply were doing everything they possibly could to comfort the children, Knouse said. Its something that made you feel so good in such a bad situation. We were standing outside on a break when we heard a loud boom and saw a big cloud of dust, said Vickie Whattoff, one of about 20 HyVee workers who responded. We saw that it was a bus and ran over and started helping kids out. She said many of the children on the bus, which was carrying kindergartners through fifth-graders, were bleeding and crying for their parents. One little boy had his teeth knocked out and he asked me if he was going to be deformed, Whattoff said, her voice quivering as she struggled with her emotions.

Putin recalls Nazi defeat

MOSCOW Leaders of the victors and the vanquished united yesterday to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Allied victory over Nazi Germany, with Russian President Vladimir Putin playing host to President Bush and dozens of others in a Red Square celebration replete with goose-stepping soldiers, a hammer-and-sickle flag and other symbols of the Soviet era. At a lavish military parade, Putin evoked the alliance that brought victory but he also stressed the Soviets huge sacrifice in defeating Adolf Hitlers Germany.

Veterans adorned with gleaming medals rode by in green trucks. Soldiers in modern and World War II-era uniforms infantrymen with red flags topped by Soviet insignia, tank troopers with black padded helmets marched in tight formation, the slap of their boots echoing across the cobblestones. Jets streamed smoke in the Russian flags white, blue and red colors above the square after Putins speech. While Russians have often complained that the Soviets wartime role is underrated in the West, Putin said that we have never divided the victory between ours and theirs, and we will always remember the help of the Allies, listing the United States, Britain, France and those who fought fascism in Germany and Italy. Today we pay tribute to the courage of all Europeans who countered Nazism, Putin said. However, he added, the most cruel and decisive events unfolded on the territory of the Soviet Union. Listing battles such as Stalingrad, Kursk and the siege of Leningrad where he was born in 1952 Putin said that the Red Army put a victorious end to the war with the liberation of Europe and the battle for Berlin.

4a the university daily kansan RAPE KIT: STEP-BY-STEP

Reporting a rape can be a traumatic process within itself. Some Lawrence experts who work with victims on a daily basis say some victims would rather let their rapist walk free than undergo tests and investigations. Sexual assault nurse Lauren Doerfler said it was important women seek medical attention after an assault. Reports can be filed to the Lawrence Police Department anonymously, and women can always decide not to file charges against their attacker. The following is a summary of what consists of completing a standard rape kit: Women are first examined by a triage nurse to make sure theyre breathing normally and to assess there is not a medical emergency. A nurse in the emergency room calls the Lawrence Police Department. Next, a representative of GaDuGi SafeCenter is called. They can be a problem solver, Doerfler said. Sometimes its hard to make some big decisions. SafeCenter representatives can field questions from women and also set up initial contact for counseling if she chooses to participate in GaDuGis programs. The sexual assault nurse will go with the patient into a private room where he or she will ask a variety of questions to make sure the womans story is documented. The sexual assault nurse will then proceed in evidence collection, which includes taking samples from several key areas of the body. Its very black and white for the nurse, Doerfler said. Following is a list of samples a nurse would take: 30 to 50 hairs from all over the head Mouth is swabbed if there was oral penetration Pubic hairs are combed through for evidence 30 to 50 pubic hairs are plucked. Dorfler said the likelihood of evidence from this sample is fairly high Swab samples from the rectum Swab samples from the vaginal wall and cervix A urine pregnancy test is administered in order to determine whether its safe to give patients medicine to counter any possible STDs. Medicine is given to patients for free Patients are offered the morning after pill, which is taken in two doses Finally, the sexual assault nurse will collect the patients clothes and give her fresh clothes to wear home Doerfler said its important that women dont shower after the rape in order to protect evidence. If there are any other items that may have evidence on them, or if you change clothes, Doerfler cautions to keep items in a paper bag. Condensation would form on the inside of plastic bags and jeopardize evidence. Source: Lawrence Memorial Hospital

More than 60 percent of rape victims know their attacker, according to Rape Abuse and Incest National Network. In the last five years 10 rapes have been reported to the KU Public Safety Office. Seven women cited the rapist was a friend or acquaintance.

Kansas show similar findings. Of the 10 rapes reported to the KU Public Safety Office within the last five years, seven women knew the man they filed a report against. Angela told a few friends who refused to believe the man would have raped her. Her friends didnt want to hear it because it involved someone they knew and liked, she said. They told me I was dreaming or something, she said. I convinced myself it didnt happen. I didnt want to make a fool of myself. Her reaction wasnt unusual, said Jerilyn Smith, director of survivor services at GaDuGi SafeCenter. Its really hard to tell on someone you know, she said. Victims often worry how it will change their relationship with other people as well. They think, really, if I keep quiet about it, it may be easier. Distracting herself from emotions was easy. She acted like nothing happened and did everything she could to keep from thinking of that night. Internalizing the rape was not so easy. Her remedy was to remove herself from that social circle, where she felt the people she called friends would rather lose Angela than her attacker. I was always more expendable than the guy who raped me, she said. No one will believe me It was more than six months before Angela found someone who believed her story. She told her boyfriend at the time. There were times she wondered if anyone would believe her. That fear is shared among many victims. The University Daily Kansan randomly surveyed about 300 female students. One of the 11 questions asked why victims did not report rape to police. Five of the 10 women who responded they were raped said they didnt report it because they thought no one would believe them. Anne knows some people dont believe her. It was Annes 22nd birthday. Studying abroad in Spain, she couldnt think of a better way to celebrate than drinking with friends. Like many nights in Spain, the Norman, Okla., senior, met other students studying abroad. Two Irish men introduced themselves and gave Anne

While it is possible for victims to overcome the trauma of rape, rape crisis experts say its important women know resources are available. Counseling often helps regain the sense of control, which is often lost after a sexual assault. birthday kisses on her cheeks. One of them, Brian, asked for a real kiss, but Anne refused him. She didnt feel threatened by him. He reminded her of a friend she knew back home. He looked trustworthy, she recalled. By the end of the night she was separated from her old friends. She thought it best that she go home with Brian and find her way to her dorm in the morning. Depressed and feeling hurt about a failing relationship with her boyfriend, she didnt think it was so bad when she finally gave Brian a real kiss. The kisses were as abundant as the drinks they had consumed. She remembers taking off her shirt and the rest of her clothes. After Anne refused to have intercourse with him, they went to sleep. The next thing Anne remembers is waking up with Brian on top of her and inside of her. Not knowing what else to do, she waited until morning to go back to where she was staying. Relieved to see her, friends congratulated her on getting birthday booty. She went along with the congratulatory highfives, but she knew her experience was not some-

thing to celebrate she knew it was wrong. It was about 10 days before I realized that Id been raped, Anne said. Pam Botts, Counseling and Psychological Services clinical director, said victims go through a time, usually immediately after the rape, where they want to minimize what happened. As in Annes case, when alcohol is involved, women doubt themselves even more, Botts said. Alcohol impairs judgment and impairs your memory. It impairs recalling accurately what happened, she said. Thats what Anne is dealing with now. Anne has had friends tell her she wasnt raped. They call it a typical one night stand. But Anne knows better. Anne said her rape, like many others, fell into a confusing gray area. There are obvious cases, like the stranger that jumps out of the bushes, and its a violent attack, she said. But there are some instances when you say, Im not OK with this and it still happens. Thats rape. And even though she allowed some physical interaction with Brian, she declined to have intercourse with him, she said. I knew philosophically I hadnt given consent, she said. You start thinking, did I give signals? In addition to overcoming emotional trauma, Anne has worried about her physical health, getting tested for sexually transmitted diseases every month or so. She was waiting on HIV results when interviewed for this article. You hear about rape in your womens studies class and your feminist class. I read the scary articles in Cosmo, Anne said. I feel foolish and dirty. Im tainted. Rape kits and police questions: Looking back, Angela wishes she had gone to the police and made an attempt to bring justice to her rapist. I think its great when girls have the guts to go to the hospital and have the tests done, she said. I wasnt emotionally strong enough. Botts said some women, like Angela, experienced so much trauma from the initial attack that filing a report and undergoing a clinical rape kit could be too much. A rape kit is a set of medical tests that compiles physical evidence from the rape. Sometimes people are physiologically in shock, she said. This is an extremely uncom-

tuesday, may 10, 2005 KU WOMEN RESPOND

The University Daily Kansan randomly surveyed about 300 KU women via e-mail. More than 100 women responded to the survey. The following are the results from some of the questions women answered. The numbers following answers indicate how many people selected that option. Not all respondents answered every question:
Do you know someone at KU who has been raped? Yes: 37 No: 67 More than 1: 3 Did that person report it to police? Yes: 9 No: 39 I dont know: 24 Have you been raped? Yes: 10 No: 96 Did you report it to police: Yes: 2 No: 8 If the answer to the previous question was no, select a reason: I was afraid of the reporting process: 1 I didnt want other people to find out: 2 I was nervous of what would happen if the person who raped me found out: I didnt think anyone would believe me: 5 What was the relationship between you and the attacker? Stranger: 3 Friend: 4 Casual acquaintance : 5 Boyfriend or girlfriend: 0 Other: 6 fortable thing. Sometimes people dont want to pursue legal action and they think if they tell anyone, they feel they will have to pursue that. Even if women file a report, they still have the option not to press charges. Lauren Doerfler, sexual assault nurse at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, said women are asked to make a police report either anonymously or with their names. Women can choose to stop at any time and can choose not to do any portion of the kit. The kit includes taking hair samples from the head and the pubic area, as well as vaginal and mouth swabs. Including interviews with sexual assault nurses and police, the process lasts three to four hours. We want to make sure we get the story straight, Doerfler said. All women who complete the kit are given precautionary antibiotics in case of an STD and have the option for a free dosage of the morning after pill to prevent pregnancy. Doerfler said women should complete a rape kit regardless if theyve decided to press charges. After 72 hours after the rape, any source or trace of evidence is gone, Doerfler said. If you do change your mind, you still have the evidence. The whole truth and nothing but the truth For women who do report a rape to police, a number of seemingly daunting tasks lie ahead of them. If the rape is reported in a timely fashion, women will be asked to complete a rape kit and investigations will go beyond a simple police interview. Among the most difficult tasks is describing the rape to an open court, said Delores Moseley, coordinator of victim witnesses for the Douglas County District Attorney. Its very common that when they get off the stand after testifying, they just lose it, Moseley said. Part of her job is comforting a witness afterward to be sure she knows she is not alone. Moseley knows what women fear about going to court, and says helping them endure the emotional hardships are a part of her job. She tries to dispel the myths women have about pressing charges against their attacker. A lot of women have a preconceived notion of what testifying will be like, she said. Part of that comes from media coverage of high profile cases such as the rape prosecution against Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant, Moseley said. That case makes our job much more difficult, she said. A lot of things went wrong at that courthouse in Eagle County, Colo. For example, staff released the name of the accuser to the media, and she was harassed at her home and received at least two death threats. Eight months have passed since charges were dropped, yet a simple Google search with the keywords Kobe Bryant accuser produces more than 100,000 hits, most with her name and picture.

Local rape crisis experts said fear could be the main reason women dont report rapes to authorities. Some women are not emotionally stable enough to endure evasive medical tests and police interviews. As a result, more victims fear what will happen if their case goes to court, Moseley said. More than a year had passed before Angela thought of filing a report against her rapist. But, at that point, all evidence was gone. She said she knew it would become an issue of her rapists word against hers. It wouldve been pointless, she said. I couldnt get any kind of support or proof. It wouldve been so hard to get a verdict in my favor. Anne felt the same way about reporting her rape to police in Spain. She was drunk that night and the rape wasnt forceful. She thought people would automatically think it was her fault for being in that situation with someone she just met. Its just a twisted situation with too much alcohol and being with a person who seems trustworthy, Anne said. Moseley agreed that alcohol makes a case harder to prove in court. We have to convince 12 people to come to a unanimous decision, she said. Sometimes the ones on campus are a little harder to prove. Its because of alcohol for sure. cant change incidents, but they can use resources. Places like GaDuGi SafeCenter and the Emily Taylor Womens Resource Center have improved teaching programs to reach more students. For example, the Emily Taylor Womens Resource Center has initiated the Sexual Violence Education and Support Service program this semester. The program focuses on education and visits residence halls and fraternities and sororities on campus. Our goal is to reduce incidents in the community, Rose-Mockery said. Its a tall order for a small program. Both Anne and Angela said they probably would have reported their attacks to authorities had they known more about rape. I didnt know most people were raped by someone they knew, Angela said. I want people to know it can happen. I want to inform people. It happens so often and people dont get help for it. For Angela and Anne, the days are becoming easier because counseling is a part of their regular routine through Counseling and Psychological Services. Angela said the rape is something she has come to own. It is something she makes a conscious decision to think about and sometimes cry about. While the rape was a horrible thing, Angela said she has grown from the experience. Both women are working on regaining control of their lives. Its a slow process, but theyre getting though it. They both said the hardest thing was realizing the rape was not their fault. I never asked to get raped. I was in a normal situation, Angela said. As a result of the rape she is more conscious of who she is friends with and hardly ever lets another person make her drinks. Im just more careful, Angela said. But Im not going to be afraid to live my life.

Help and Education Moseley said shes seen an increase in the number of women who come forward in the last few years. The number of rapes reported to Lawrence Police has increased from 27 in 2000 to 49 in both 2003 and 2004. Public education about rape and sexual violence has contributed to this increase, she said. Sexual violence education has been growing in the past 20 years, said Kathy Rose-Mockery, director of the Emily Taylor Womens Resource Center. And while it is important for women to press charges against their attackers, its more important that women know they have options and places to go if they need help, she said. More people are becoming aware and speaking up and using resources, Rose Mockery said. Women Edited by Jon Ralston and Stephanie Lovett

Mark Cline has a story to tell, but no one is listening. A woman raped the 47-year-old Lawrence resident more than 12 years ago. Hes only been vocal about the attack for a few months. Laughter is the most common response after he shares his story, he said. Disappointment for the soft-spoken man has sunk in. He had hoped to be a leader among rape victims especially male victims within the community. But if no one listens or believes him, hes not quite sure what he can do. While not well known, or acknowledged, men can be victims of rape. One of every 10 rape victims are men, according to Rape Abuse and Incest National Network. From the general public perspective, its misunderstood, Judy Parker said of male victims. So many people are unprepared to hear about it and deal with it. Parker, Catholic Community Services of Lawrence director and counselor, said a lot of people thought a person must be physically forced into a sexual act before it accounted for rape. Therefore, people assumed men could not be raped, especially if the perpetrator was a woman. Rape is a crime of force, she said. Sex is the medium that it utilizes. Even forced oral sex can have the same criteria, Parker said Cline considers his rape a little rape, because the woman performed oral sex rather than intercourse. It was a summer night, and like many nights, Cline was camping at Clinton Lake. His bike broke while he was on on a ride. He was walking back to his campsite when a car approached him. A man and a woman were in the car. He reluctantly accepted a ride. The man, who was driving, told the woman to get in the back seat with Cline to help relay instructions to Clines campsite. She climbed in the backseat and began to undo Clines belt buckle. He protested, but she pushed his hands to his sides and told him to relax. Cline said he was frozen with fear as she performed oral sex on him. The hardest part of his experience has been the lack of support from the community, Cline said. He said his story had gotten him kicked out of stores and other places because his narrative makes people uncomfortable. There is a larger support for women in the community, Parker said. Its difficult for the community and a man whose been raped to accept the male in a victim role, especially when the rapist is a woman, she said. It was hard for Cline to realize he was a victim. It was embarrassing, and he was ashamed his body reacted to the rape. After all, hes been physically intimate with only one woman his entire life. The orgasm was very pleasurable, he said. When I first reported that, I lied. He said he was afraid people would believe him less if they knew it felt good to him. Basically the aftermath was an intense battle in my brain, he said. Parker said the reaction among male and female victims of rape were generally the same and should be treated similarly. They need to recognize that its a trauma like other traumas, she said. To get through it and there will be scars they need to get professional support. Thats why Cline is trying to tell his story. He said that he wanted other men to know it happened and that they didnt have to be ashamed about it. I want everybody, the public, to know what happened to me to encourage other people to tell their stories, he said. Edited by Kendall Dix

REPORT CARD Pass: Moustaches. Members of the Kansas baseball grew out the upper-lip facial hair because they knew ESPN was televising their series against Texas last weekend. Were not sure if thats the reason they won two out of three games in the home series, but whatever it takes, right? They looked hilarious enough for ESPN announcer Gary Thorne to notice. Gas prices. Theyre falling a bit, so lets keep hoping that it will become a lot. Fail: Evolution hearings. At this point, it seems as though the state of Kansas would be remiss to pass up on an opportunity to embarrass itself. The evolution hearings are just the latest manifestation of this. It appears there is no stopping this state from hurtling full-force on its way to becoming a full-fleged theocracy.

Lost and founds collect it all

By Charissa Young correspondent@kansan.com Kansan correspondent

extbooks, iPods and backpacks are often left underneath desks, in the hallways, in the bathrooms and on the steps of campus buildings. For those not stolen by the finders-keepers-losers-weepers type, these items, and others, find their way to a campus lost and found. Kelly Connelley, Wichita junior, lost a blue water bottle on a Friday on the third floor of the Kansas Union. She called the Unions Lost and Found Office the following Tuesday and was able to pick it up the same day. I thought my water bottle had just been thrown away, but a friend of mine told me to try calling the lost and found about it, Connelley said. I described it to them, and sure enough, they had it. It was so easy. But Connelleys story is not a common one. Capt. Schuyler D. Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office, 303 Carruth OLeary, said that only about 25 percent of items in lost and found are actually claimed. The items most often claimed are those with some sort of identifying information, such as wallets and cell phones. The high number of unclaimed items in lost and found offices might be because students simply forget where they lost their items, said Pam Shadoin, senior administrative specialist in the department of math in Snow Hall, west of Strong Hall. Shadoin also said that because the locations of lost and found offices werent always posted, students probably didnt know to look in them. At least one Lost and Found Office, or really a lost and found box or cabinet, is located in each building on campus, normally in a departments main office. The clutter inside these offices is common too: textbooks, articles of clothing, sunglasses and electronics are piling up across campus. During the winter season, mittens, scarves, and hats are in abundance. At the Student Recreation Fitness Center, there are 23 KUIDs and 10 water bottles in the lost and found cabinet.

Bailey said that the most unique item hed seen turned in was a $100 bill. The bill was never claimed, so it was donated to a local non-profit organization. In most cases, though, Bailey said that items turned into the lost and found were ordinary. Items left in lost and found offices around campus are typically held for the remainder of the semester. Then, the items are forwarded to the safety office. The items are held there for three months, and then items that have value and are clean are donated to local charities. Otherwise, Bailey said, the remaining items were destroyed. Shadoin said most of the items from the lost and found are forwarded to the Safety Office, with textbooks as the exception. Textbooks, she said, are recycled back to their departments for staff and student use, or the textbooks are left on the ledge just outside the office for students to take. If I was smart enough, I would sell the books back to the bookstore and be rich, Shadoin said, laughing. Before leaving for summer vacation, students should check a Lost and Found Office for any of their lost valuables. Students may often feel their loss is a permanent one, but their item may be among the hundreds of unclaimed items collecting dust in one of the 33 lost and found offices on campus.

Kansas balances on edge

Big 12 Tournament seed uncertain for Kansas, others

As the pieces to the puzzle that is Big 12 baseball begin to fall into place these next two weeks, the Big 12 Conference Tournament picture is no clearer than it was in early March. Although the top four teams have solidified their standing in the league race, the bottom half is a logjam. Kansas shook up the equation with a series victory against Texas last weekend. Kansas is now 8-12 in conference play, which puts it in the eighth and final spot in the Big 12 Tournament. Only 10 schools have baseball teams, and of those only eight make the conference tournament. Kansas is one-half game behind Texas Tech for seventh and one-half game in front of Texas A&M in ninth. That creates an interesting scenario for

the last six games of the year. For Texas A&M to leapfrog either Kansas or Texas Tech, Texas A&M would have to go through two of the toughest teams in the league. Texas A&M will be host to Baylor this weekend, and then travels to Austin to take on Texas in the seasons final series. Kansas State, which is four games behind Kansas in the loss column, has just one conference series remaining. K-State takes on nationally-ranked Nebraska in Lincoln. The Jayhawks seem to have an easier road ahead, at least relative to the Aggies and Wildcats. They resume the Border Showdown next weekend at Missouri, and then finish their season slate against the Cowboys in Lawrence May 20 through 22. Both teams are in the top five in the conferences standings. Coach Ritch Price said he felt good about his teams chances

Seniors help teams improve

Graduation is looming. In just 12 days, thousands will walk down the hill, and a few people will walk into Memorial Stadium to sit through the hours of pageantry. Although I am graduating with my first degree, those of you who wished to see me go will be disappointed. I will be back next semester filling the same role at the Kansan. Enough about me. Many of the athletes weve watched this past year will be leaving us to pursue professional careers, whether in sports or in some other capacity. Lets take a look back at the accomplishments of some of the athletes that have donned the crimson and blue, representing the University of Kansas with class over the last four years. Mens Basketball Guard Aaron Miles finished his career as the all-time assist leader at Kansas and in the Big 12 Conference with 953. Guard Keith Langford ended his career as the sixth-ranked scorer in Kansas history with 1,812 points. Forward Wayne Simien was a consensus first team All-American in 2005, the winner of the Senior CLASS Award and one of five finalists for the Wooden and Naismith Awards given annually to the nations top player. Miles, Langford, Simien and guard Mike Lee helped lead Kansas to consecutive Final Four appearances and a trip to the Elite Eight during their four-year careers. Football Defensive end David McMillan was instrumental in helping lead one of the most dominant defenses in recent Kansas history. He finished his senior season with seven sacks, including three in the season-ending victory against Missouri, and 13 tackles for loss. He was selected in the fifth round of this years NFL Draft to the Cleveland Browns. Tight end Lyonel Anderson and fullback Austine Nwabuisi both signed NFL free agent contracts. Anderson signed with the Cincinnati Bengals and Nwabuisi signed with the New York Jets. Soccer Goalkeeper Meghan Miller added to her career KU records in her senior season. She holds most career goalkeeping records, including most shutouts (30), most games started (87) and the best record for a KU goalkeeper (60-25-3). Miller also was a 2004 first-team All-Big 12 Conference

Luke Trammell helps lead Kansas during Prices injury absence

BY TIM HALL

thall@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWRITER

When senior golfer Andrew Price was forced to sit out in mid-March with a fracture in his left hand, junior Luke Trammell stepped up and filled the leadership position. In the fall, Trammell played in one event, the Kansas Invitational at Alvamar Golf Club, in Lawrence. But this spring he has played in six events and has started in four consecutive tournaments since the loss of Price, whose last March tournament appearance was an 18th-place finish in the Louisiana Classics Invitational on March 8. He sat out the next three tournaments before competing in the Big 12 Conference Championship April 29 to May 1. I really dont feel like Im playing any better than the other guys on our team, Trammell said. I think that I got lucky to have the opportunity to play, and I made the most of my opportunity. After Kansas coach Ross Randall decided to take him to the UTSA Invitational in San Antonio and the Louisiana Classics as an individual, Trammell was able to build some tournament experience that helped him receive the starting nod. Trammell made his first start at the Stevinson Ranch Invitational in Stevinson, Calif., where he finished in a tie for 23rd place with a three-round total of 227 and helped the Jayhawks win their third tournament championship of the season. On April 9 at the Courtyard by Marriott Intercollegiate, Trammell tied his roommate, junior Pete Krsnich, for the teams low score. Trammell shot rounds of 72 and 73 for a two-round total of 145, and he finished the tournament in a 27thplace tie. Since then, Trammell has started in every tournament for the Jayhawks. Most recently he played in the Big 12 Championships in Trinity, Texas, where he finished in a tie for 39th with his three-round total of 234. Trammell has held a steady stroke average of 75.50, and has been a reliable starter who consistently fires rounds in the 70s. While Price was out, the Jayhawks won one tournament and finished second in another, but

Junior Luke Trammell practiced yesterday at the Alvamar Golf Club. Trammell took over for senior golfer Andrew Price in mid-March after Price had to sit out with a left-hand fracture. Since then, Trammell has played in six events with the team and has started in four consecutive tournaments. Trammell said that losing a player like Price always hurt. Hes a guy that we really need on our team, Trammell said. Any guy that can go out and tie the lowest round in Kansas golf history is a guy that will help our chances to win. On Feb. 11, at the Taylor Made Waikoloa Intercollegiate Golf Tournament in Hilo, Hawaii, Price shot a final-round score of 63, which tied former Kansas player Ryan

Cardinals call up relief for Molina

ST. LOUIS Short a catcher after Yadier Molina sprained his left ankle running to first, the St. Louis Cardinals yesterday recalled Mike Mahoney from Triple-A Memphis. The team designated reliever Bill Pulsipher for assignment. Pulsipher, 0-0 with a 6.75 ERA in five games, cleared waivers and said he would accept the assignment. Medical tests showed only a sprain for Molina, who was batting .200 with five RBIs and strong defensive skills in his first year as the full-time starter, and the team is hopeful hell be sidelined only a few days. In the meantime, the team needed protection behind the plate. Molina was injured when he stepped awkwardly on first base running out a ground ball in the seventh inning Sunday.

Former KU football players sign deals with NFL teams

Two former Kansas football players signed professional contracts last week with teams in the National Football League. Wide receiver Brandon Rideau signed a contract with the Cleveland Browns, where he will join defensive end David McMillan. McMillan was drafted by the Browns in the fifth round of the NFL Draft. Former Kansas punter Curtis Ansel also signed a contract, as he signed with the Houston Texans. Ansel completed his eligibility in 2003 and signed with a team last season. He failed to impress the coaches enough to maintain a spot at that time.

NEW YORK In the first year of toughened steroid testing, home runs are down in the major leagues for the first time since 2002. Florida Marlins pitcher Todd Jones doesnt think its a coincidence. Hes convinced theres a connection. Unfortunately, I do. I hate it, but there has been a correction made in the system, and the numbers are going to suffer for a couple of years, he said yesterday. I hate to admit it because I didnt want to. Im as disappointed as any fan would be that its going to end up showing to be the truth. But its got to be good for the game to get back to an even playing field. I just didnt realize how deep it was. An average of 1.97 home runs were hit in games through Sunday, down 8.8 percent from the 2.16 average in the first five weeks of last season, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. Its the lowest level for the first five weeks since 2002s 1.93 average and below the 2.14 average of the last decade. I think five weeks is too short a statistical sample to draw any conclusions, said Bob DuPuy, baseballs chief operating officer. There are a myriad of factors that could influence that, including the cold and wet spring training we had in Florida, the weather in the first few weeks of the season. But Los Angeles Angels bench coach Joe Maddon, who has been in professional baseball since 1975, thinks testing could be tied to it somehow. I dont know exactly to what extent, but you see people maybe not as big as they had been in the past or dont look as strong as maybe they had been in the past, he said. Some balls are hit pretty well, but theyre not carrying like maybe they had in the past couple of years. So, just being a thinking person, and you know whats been going on, you have to tie them together a little bit. Runs per game are down 5 percent, from 9.72 to 9.23, and hits declined 3.1 percent, from 18.37 per game to 17.80. The major league batting aver-

age dropped from .265 to .261. I dont think thats necessarily the cause, Tigers closer Troy Percival said of steroids. And I only say that because being in Detroit, Ive never seen weather being this cold day in and day out all the way through the central part of the country and the East Coast. There have been exceptions. Pitchers on the Cincinnati Reds gave up a major league-high 49 homers in their first 30 games. They are on pace to break the team record of 236 they set last year, which was three short of the NL record. I dont know how much steroids had to do with it, Reds reliever Kent Mercker said. Maybe the pitching got better. Several players and managers cited the absence of San Franciscos Barry Bonds. I think if Barry were playing, youd probably have that nine percent, Minnesota manager Ron Gardenhire said. The best hitter in baseball is on the DL, added Florida Marlins third baseman Mike Lowell. I cant say its steroids or the pitching. It might be a combination. If it was down 30 percent, I would say, `Whoa, weve got to look at something. Nine percent is a minimal variation. Minnesota outfielder Shannon Stewart was among those who cited better pitching as the cause for the drop. There are guys that know how to make the ball move a little bit. To me, guys dont throw straight balls

anymore, so its a little tougher to hit the baseball, he said. All it takes is a big swing and the balls going to be out of the yard. Thats all it takes, a good swing on that ball. That has nothing to do with steroids. Houston manager Phil Garner thinks pitching is a big part of it. We went through a period where we saw guys coming up to the big leagues who were throwing 87, 88, 89 mph. Now I see a bunch of guys coming up throwing 92, 94, 95, he said. There might have been a drop in legal supplements, too. ... Im seeing smaller players. Its unfair and wrong to assume that guy was on steroids, because supplementation can help too, and its all legal. Washington Nationals outfielder Jose Guillen judges by his own experience. At this time last year, I had fewer home runs than I have right now, said Guillen, who connected for No. 8 Sunday. I had two or three at this time last year.

Struggling Royals lose again

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TORONTO Josh Towers won his third straight start by pitching eight strong innings, and the Toronto Blue Jays ended a four-game losing streak with a 6-1 victory over the struggling Kansas City Royals last night. Russ Adams hit a two-run triple for the Blue Jays, swept in three of their previous four home series. Towers (4-1), Torontos fifth starter, allowed one run and seven hits, struck out five and walked one. He has allowed two runs in his last 22 2-3 innings, dropping his ERA to 3.12, and has given up two runs or fewer in five of seven starts. Joe McEwing drove in Kansas Citys run with an RBI grounder in the sixth. Kansas City has lost six of seven, dropping to an AL-worst 8-24. Royals starter Runelvys Hernandez (1-5) left with a bruised right upper arm. He was struck by Corey Koskies liner in the fifth, then threw out Koskie and got the last two outs of the inning. But he didnt come out for the sixth. Hernandez has lost five straight decisions after winning his first start. He gave up two runs and five hits. Alex Rios RBI grounder and Ken Huckabys run-scoring single gave Toronto a 2-0 lead in the second. Kansas Citys John Buck led off the sixth with a single, advanced to third on David DeJesus double and scored on

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Russ Adams catches Kansas City Royals David DeJesus trying to steal second in the first inning in Toronto, yesterday. The Royals lost, 6-1. McEwings RBI grounder. Toronto scored four runs in the bottom half on Adams tworun triple off Kyle Synder, Huckabys RBI grounder and Frank Catalanottos run-scoring double. Notes The Blue Jays avoided matching their longest losing streak of the season. They lost five straight from April 20-24. The Royals placed LHP Brian Anderson on the 15-day DL with a sore left elbow. Anderson went 1-2 with a 6.75 ERA in six games. The Royals replaced Anderson by recalling RHP Leo Nunez from Double-A Wichita. Nunez had a 8.31 ERA in eight games at Wichita.

ST. LOUIS Albert Pujols drove in four runs with two home runs off Odalis Perez, giving him four long balls against the left-hander in only 12 at bats, and Mark Mulder tied his career best with 12 strikeouts in the St. Louis Cardinals 4-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers last night. Mulder, the ace the Cardinals lacked in the playoffs last year, allowed a run and three hits in seven innings, winning his fifth straight start. In the opener of a four-game series between division leaders, he struck out the side around a pair of singles in his final inning. Mulder (5-1) struck out 12 for the third time, the first since Sept. 17, 2002, against Anaheim. After a shaky first two starts with his new team, he has a 1.14 ERA in his last five outings. He allowed his only run on Cesar Izturis two-out, RBI double in the fifth, which stopped an 0-for-12 skid. Mark Grudzielanek had two hits, and David Eckstein extended his hitting streak to 10 games for the Cardinals, who have beaten the Dodgers six straight times at home counting last years first-round playoff series. Pujols hit a solo home run in the first inning into the visitors bullpen beyond the left-field wall and hit a 3-2 hanging curveball from Perez (4-3) for a

three runs in the fifth inning, putting the Cardinals ahead 4-1. Hes 8-for-12 with 12 RBI against Perez. Perez gave up four runs and eight hits in six innings, losing for the first time in three career decisions at Busch Stadium. He was 0-1 in the playoffs against St. Louis, allowing eight runs in five innings over two starts. Third baseman Scott Rolens second fielding error of the game helped the Dodgers score an unearned run in the eighth, when Ricky Ledee had an RBI single off Ray King. Al Reyes got the last out for his third save. The Cardinals are without closer Jason Isringhausen, who is on the disabled list with a right abdominal strain. Notes Mulder was the second Cardinals pitcher to strike out 12 this season, following Chris Carpenters outing April 27 against the Brewers. Mulder is 69-5 in 84 career starts when supported by four or more runs. Dodgers RF Jason Repko, subbing for ailing J.D. Drew, nearly made the defensive play of the game in the fifth. He slipped on Grudzielaneks single and bobbled the ball off his face, but recovered to make a strong relay to third that forced Eckstein into a hook slide to avoid being thrown out. Pujols has 11 multiple home run games and this was his first this season.

Rams to receive softer playing field

ST. LOUIS The St. Louis Rams, who have long complained about the rock-hard consistency of their artificial playing surface, are getting a new field next season. A news conference has been scheduled today to announce the new playing surface for the Edward Jones Dome. The Rams lease with the city, St. Louis County and Convention and Visitors Commission requires that the stadium turf be in the top eight of NFL stadiums by July 2005. The stadium will have FieldTurf, which has become the standard for artificial fields in the NFL and has been likened to playing on natural grass. The Rams have played on the same carpet-over-concrete field since the dome opened in 1995. The past few seasons, their indoor practice facility has been equipped with FieldTurf, and coach Mike Martz complained a handful of times about the unforgiving nature of the surface at the stadium. The Convention and Visitors Commission initially had resisted the change because it would hinder the domes ability to hold conventions and trade shows.

Triple in ninth gives Tigers first shutout

ARLINGTON, Texas Nate Robertson pitched eight strong innings and Craig Monroe hit an RBI triple with two outs in the ninth to give the Tigers the 2-0 victory over the Rangers yesterday.

Robertson (1-3) won for the first time in 12 starts since Aug. 30.

Not only do the Jayhawks have a great opportunity to hold on, they also have an opportunity to move higher in the standings. Thinking big, the Jayhawks could possibly jump to as high as fifth if everything plays out to their advantage. With the home games against Oklahoma State, just one and a half games ahead of Kansas in the fifth slot, Kansas has an outside

chance of moving up to fifth. But moving up to sixth or seventh is more likely. Oklahoma is tied with Kansas in the loss column with a record of 9-12. Oklahoma has the Bedlam Series against Oklahoma State this weekend before finishing with three games against Texas Tech. Junior first baseman Jared Schweitzer, who has been a stalwart in the Jayhawks late-season charge, said the team could make a push toward the middle of the standings. We put ourselves in a posi-

tion where we can go to Missouri and hopefully win a series there, Schweitzer said. If we won a couple of games against them we could be in a good position. The Big 12 Tournament takes place May 25 through May 29 in Oklahoma City. Kansas missed the tournament last year after qualifying in 2003. That was the only appearance for Kansas since the conference began in the 1997 season. Edited by Lisa Coble-Krings
