A report released by the Higher Learning Commission yesterday recommended the University of Kansas receive accreditation for the maximum of 10 years. Universities must undergo accreditation every 10 years in order for its students to receive federal financial aid and for its faculty to be eligible for federal research grants. Accreditation is scheduled to be finalized by June 13. The big deal is we got the accreditation, which is an essential requirement, said Barbara Romzek, chair of the steering committee and associate dean of social sciences. And the second piece is that they have faith they dont have to come back for 10 years. The University clearly meets all the criteria required for continued accreditation, according to the report: The University has an appropriately articulated mission: Faculty and administrative expertise to deliver high quality academic programs and services, effective executive level leadership and regent support and the University has the necessary resources to continue fulfilling its mission. A group of 12 people comprised of outside academics from other research universities visited in Jan. 30 through Feb. 2. Charlie Nelms, vice president for institutional development and student affairs from Indiana University, led the group. Members of the learning commission had no formal concerns to report, unlike in 1994 when nine concerns were addressed. Among those concerns were inadequate space in the libraries, a need to improve graduate teaching and research assistant salaries and benefits and a need for stricter admissions policy.

During its three-day visit, the team met with more than 150 faculty, staff, students and city and state officials at the Lawrence campus, Edwards Campus and University of Kansas Medical Center. It also reviewed publications, documents, budgets and Web sites, as well as the Self Study report put out by the University before the members arrival. Romzek wasnt surprised the University was regarded highly. We thought we were doing good enough that our accreditation was not at risk, she said. Before it left, the team gave a short summary of what was found. They basically said we need to get the word out more of what were doing, Romzek said. The team came in, did a thorough investigation and left with a very favorable impression of the University. Included with the accreditation report was a section of suggestions for the University to continue improving. A focus on repair and renovation was one of the teams suggestions. A continuations of a more strict admissions policy and management of state funds were also suggested. It is a chance to tap into their expertise, Romzek said. We dont have to do it, but they are suggestions to what we might do to do even better. Chancellor Robert Hemenway received the report April 15. The chancellor chose to send it to a Readers Panel, which signals we are happy with the report as a draft and are happy for it to go forward, Romzek said. The chancellor was given the opportunity to have the University investigated further through an accreditation policy. His approval of the report meant that it was passed on to continue in the finalization process. Edited by Nikola Rowe

State budget allocations fail to cover needed repairs

obert Smith, professor emeritus of anthropology, does not mind the rain, unless he happens to be in his office. Smiths office is in the basement of Spooner Hall, which is not only the oldest building on campus, but has the honor of being listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Smiths office does not have much of an office feeling to it, but then again, most offices do not leak abundant amounts of water. Whenever a heavy rain falls, water comes in through his office window, splashing all over his neatly stacked files of anthropology research. I really should consider moving my computer, Smith said. Jerry Phillips, facility director for the sports and exercise science department, prefers to keep his door open while working in his office inside Robinson Center. Phillips door remains open because the floor has shifted, making it impossible to open the door from the inside. One time, I was trapped inside for about thirty minutes, Phillips said. A fellow professor eventually bailed him out. Smith and Phillips are not the only ones on campus waiting for maintenance work. The University has a deferred backlog of 524 maintenance projects that would cost $133 million to repair. It receives only $3 million in state funds each year to make such repairs. There are leaky roofs and deteriorating utility tunnels. There is inadequate ventilation in chemistry labs and buildings with wild animals and shifting foundations. The Universitys campus is in desperate need of repairs.

The Kansas Board of Regents Educational Building Fund produces a total of $10 million for deferred maintenance for seven state schools each year. That money is supposed to be sufficient, but in reality it is just enough money to keep school buildings from crumbling. According to a 2004 Kansas Board of Regents study on deferred maintenance, the Legislature would need to generate $74 million per year to adequately maintain the universities campuses. Facility directors must spend their funds as judiciously as possible, which means Smith might think about keeping an umbrella handy in his office and Phillips office door will not be shutting anytime soon. In crisis mode Jim Modig, director of design and construction management, has the overwhelming task of overseeing the Universitys campus facilities. Stories like Smiths waterlogged office in Spooner Hall are not lost on Modig. He sympathizes, but he says there is only so much money to go around. We are sitting here in an awkward position, and its just the nature of our business, Modig said. I have to be an advocate for the University as a whole. If anyone would be able to appreciate how large a problem the Universitys deferred maintenance backlog really is, it would be Modig. But even Modig admits he does not know what the real

ACADEMICS

University womens GPAs exceed mens

Women students GPAs have exceeded men students GPAs during every Fall semester since 1994 at the University.

Women

Men

Women at the University of Kansas might be pleased to know they have a mental edge over their male counterparts. The grade point average for University women for Fall 2004 was a 3.04, compared to a 2.81 for University men, according to the Office of Institutional Research and Planning. Some, such as Ann Cudd, director of womens studies, said reasons for the difference could include womens commitment to academics, the attendance of more women than men at University programs or the

sorority population at the University. A wage gap between men and women still exists, and women must perform better than men in school to get a fair shot in the work world, Cudd said. Women earn about 72 percent of what men earn, as opposed to 30 years ago when women earned 59 percent of what men earned. I think its clear weve come a long ways, but we still have a long ways to go, Cudd said. This includes more men working as nurses or women working as engineers, helping to integrate the work force, Cudd said. Cudd said she noticed that men tend to underperform in school as opposed to standard-

ized testing. She said that women were the opposite and overperformed in school compared to standardized testing. My opinion is that scholarships are based too often on standardized test scores, she said. Womens success in school could be a result of their attendance at leadership programs at the University, said Rueben Perez, assistant dean of students and student involvement and leadership director. Women outnumbered men almost every fall at the student leadership institute, which helped students develop skills in leadership, communication and organization, Perez said. The institute attracted 100

applicants. Student involvement and leadership did not count males versus females, but Perez said it was obvious that more women than men attended. The presence of more sorority women than fraternity men contributed to high expectations of women to excel in school, said Debra Patterson, Garnett freshman. A lot of my friends thought about rushing because it would help them do better in classes, she said. Thats probably not the whole reason, but I think being in something structured would help them do better.

Workers finished cleaning and polishing the restored Eldridge Hotel, 701 Massachusetts St., yesterday. After a six-month hiatus, the hotel will reopen at 4 p.m. today with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, said W. Randy English, general manager. The grand opening will be held next fall in about September or October, he said. The hotel has stood at that spot downtown since 1855, when it was the Free State Hotel. The hotel was burned a year later by pro-slavery forces, but the hotel was rebuilt by Colonel Shalor Eldridge, where the hotel gets its name. The hotel was burned in 1863 by William Quantrill, and, once again, was rebuilt by Eldridge, according to the hotels Web site, www.eldridgehotel.com. The Eldridge stood as Lawrences best hotel until 1925, when it began to deteriorate. Local business owners renovated the hotel, which lasted until the late 1960s. With falling revenues and the rise of the motel, the Eldridge closed its doors as a hotel in 1970. The hotel became apartments until 1985, when it was restored to a hotel by a developer. Management changed hands a few times, and the hotel was purchased in 2004 by investors led by Mitchell and Susan Chaney and Bobby Douglass. The new owners closed the hotel and restaurant in January 2004, and will reopen both again this week. Opening an almost brand new restaurant, bar and hotel all at the same time can be stressful. Its a lot like anything else, cant do anything ahead of time, said Bobby Douglass, part-owner of the hotel and former KU football quarterback. It would be a little easier if the hotel didnt open also. The new restaurant and renovations will bring in younger students, said Katie Chaney, Brownsville, Texas, junior, and daughter of two Eldridge owners. I think the renovations are great, Chaney said. It added a lot of energy to the place. Although both the 48-room hotel and the restaurant are opening this week, the restaurant will open a day later. The restaurant prepared practice meals for some of the staff yesterday, and would do so again today, Douglass said. The break was needed to create a seamless transition, Douglass said. Customers and students will be able to have many different dining options, ranging from the simple to more elaborate meals. Its just good American food, Chaney said. All of the food is rea-

Meals can range from a hamburger to a parmesan-crusted filet. The restaurant has an all-new interior. Fifty employees, many students included, have been hired to staff the restaurant, now called Ten, and the bar, still called the Jayhawker. The restaurant can seat about 140, and the bar can seat about 80, Douglass said. Renovations expanded the bar by about 30 percent, he

said. All room service for the hotel will go through the restaurant, using mostly the same menu as the restaurant. Renovations on the hotel allowed the new owners to refurbish each room with new carpets, furniture and paintings, English said. Although the suites have changed, the renovators did not change the building structurally, he said. Hotel management hired 25 fulltime employees to staff the hotel. Students are also employed at the hotel, mainly at the reception desk, English said. With the staff of the restaurant and hotel ready, the Eldridge prepares for a busy first few weeks, English said. The hotels management expects today and tomorrow to be a little slow, but during the weekend the hotel will host a wedding reception and the following week is graduation. Edited by John Scheirman

Lawrence police arrest rape suspect

Lawrence police arrested a 25-year-old man this morning on charges of rape and aggravated assault, said Sgt. Dan Ward, Lawrence Police Department. About 5:10 a.m. yesterday, an officer responded to a call in an unspecified area of Lawrence after a citizen heard screaming and called police, Ward said. The incident occurred at the suspects residence and began as consensual sexual contact between him and a woman whose identity is unknown, Ward said. During the encounter, she asked the suspect to stop and he refused, Ward said. The suspect then threatened her with a knife, took her cell phone and held her in the bedroom, Ward said. When she tried to exit through a window, he grabbed her and she screamed, Ward said. The man was arrested on charges of unlawful restraint, aggravated assault, battery, theft and rape, Ward said. The suspects identity is unknown at this time.

Mother, stepfather get not guilty plea

KANSAS CITY, Mo. A judge entered not guilty pleas yesterday for the mother and stepfather charged with killing a girl found beheaded in Kansas City four years ago. Jackson County Circuit Judge Margaret Sauer entered the pleas for Michelle M. Johnson, 30, and Harrell Johnson, 25, both of Muskogee, Okla., during their first court appearance in Missouri after being charged with killing the girl, who had been known as Precious Doe.

In a cycling race, everybody wants to be in front of the pack just not the very front. You dont want to take all the wind and let everyone else draft behind you, said Brian Jensen, Ronne, Denmark sophomore. But its about 30 percent easier to be in front. If youre stuck in the middle of a 100-man field, there is not much room to move. Jensen, 29, expects to be ahead of the field. He is the KU cycling clubs top seed for the National Collegiate Cycling Association Road National Championships in Lawrence this weekend. About 450 cyclists from collegiate teams around the country will participate in the championship and six of them will be from the KU cycling club. The championship includes a road race, a team time trial and a one-mile loop course. Chris Hess, KU cycling club coach, has high expectations for Jensen. Short of a mechanical failure or an accident, he will be on the podium, which means the top three, Hess said. He has that much talent. Jensen has similar expectations, but he is wary of competitors and the intricacies of cycling. Im strong enough to be on the podium, Jensen said. But there are so many things that can happen. I havent seen a lot of the competitors before. You need to make sure you play it smart and make all the right breaks. Otherwise, you might miss your chance to finish in the lead. Born and raised in Denmark, Jensen went to Oklahoma State in 1995 to run track and cross country. He transferred to the University of Kansas to run in 1998. After his eligibility ended in 2000, Jensen said his intense

training schedule made him lose motivation to keep running. Instead, he joined his wife for bike rides in the evenings. Five bikes and three and half years later, Jensen is one of the elite amateur cyclists in the country. Cycling has a five-category ranking scale. Five is entry level. Two is regional caliber. One is elite national amateur, Hess said. Jensen has attained the skill level of one, which puts him among the best competitors in the championship this weekend. But being a student and a cyclist is complicated. Jensen has traveled to competitions every weekend for the last seven weeks. He has driven to the competitions every time except once, when the race was in California. That time he flew. Jensen also spends between 15 and 25 hours a week training. During that time he covers about 350 miles on his bike doing intervals, hill repeats and long rides. The demanding training schedule forces him to compromise his studies, he said. Its tough because you cant catch up on the weekends if you get behind in a class, Jensen, a civil engineering major, said. I think a lot about school. Its always in the back of my mind that if I stayed home I could be studying and getting better grades. But training outside and being in shape is everything to him, he said. And that should make a difference this weekend, Hess said. Jensens genetics, dedication to training, willingness to sacrifice his time, and his participation on the KU club team and a Kansas City club cycling team make him a favorite for the championship in all three races, Hess said. There is no other feeling like winning a race, Jensen said. That is why we put ourselves through so much. Edited by Jennifer Voldness

Students will have the opportunity to purchase exclusive Lied Center parking permits next year, said Donna Hultine, director of parking. The permits were originally designated for one year because of the spots they took away from daytime events at the Lied Center. I think its a good idea, Hultine said. It gives a little recognition to the fact that sometimes, you just cant get into Daisy Hill parking. The permits will cost $105 next school year. They cost $50 this school year, but permits are rising in price. Daisy Hill permits will cost $140 next school year. They cost $85 this year. There will be 300 available for exclusive Lied Center permits, Hultine said.

Students turn space New ad campaign seeks into artist community to attract more visitors

KANSAN CORRESPONDENT

While most KU students study in coffee shops, libraries and at home, upper-level and graduate sculpture students have their own little space to work located below the Art and Design sculpture room called the Sub-Base. To these 13 students its more than a workspace or a studio its an artist community, said Dave WerdinKennicott, a.k.a. Smiling Dave, Kansas City, Kan., graduate student. It looks like a set for a stereotypical college movie: Old comfy chairs and couches and magazine clipping collages attached to randomly painted walls with avant-garde music filling the air in a common room. Surrounding this common room are six studios where the artists work busily on sculpture projects. It even has its own phone booth. To Brett Richardson, Olathe senior, it could be a second home. Its kind of personable lived-in if you will, Richardson said. Its almost like coming into someones apartment. Richardson admits he spends more time in the Sub-Base than his own apartment. The Sub-Bases pet and mascot, Montel, the brown recluse spider lives in Richardsons studio space. Montel was caught from a friends apartment and has been living in his glass-jar home in the Sub-Base for two weeks, Richardson said. Montel replaced a small field mouse named Testicles (which rhymes with the Greek figure Pericles) that died after living

The KU Ministry of Sculpture is a close-knit group of sculptors who hang out in the Sub-Base in the Art and Design Building. The group consists of several experienced sculptors including TJ Tangpuz, Kansas City, Mo., nontraditional student; Andrew Hadel, Riley junior; Andrew Leek, Olathe senior; Bradford Kessler, Pratt senior; Justin Riley, Fayetteville, Ark., senior; and President Sarah Heath, Wichita senior. there for a day. It might have been the shock from living in captivity, Smiling Dave said. The occupants of the SubBase regularly bring in communal snacks, have pot lucks and costume and collage parties, Smiling Dave said. Because the Sub-Base occupants are so close-knit, new people have a sense of being an outsider even though they are welcome to hang out, Andrew Leek, Olathe senior said. They also watch out for each others tools, art and studio space from people who steal items, Leek said. Sculptors have a lot of tools, Leek said. We have a lot stuff on shelves. We know enough to lock up other peoples studios if they leave them open and to turn off on appliances. One of the downfalls of working in the Sub-Base is that the occupants have to move oversized work up a hill and to the front of the Art and Design Building, because the stairwell leading to the main part of the building does not accommodate large objects, Smiling Dave said. It challenges you to make easily-transferable stuff, he said. A lot of my sculptures have wheels on them. The Sub-Base is also headquarters to the Ministry of Sculpture, a new student group for anyone with an interest in 3-D art, Smiling Dave said. The occupants of the SubBase usually change yearly depending who leaves school, Smiling Dave said. Ill miss it, said Richardson, who is graduating this semester. Its a nice environment and its more than just a shared studio. Edited by Jennifer Voldness

Most guests at Constance Wolfes bed and breakfast come to Lawrence for Universityrelated functions. But the Convention and Visitors Bureau believes the city can promote its off-campus attractions to lure more overnight visitors. A new CVB campaign flaunts the citys cuisine, golf courses and artistic culture in five newspaper advertisements. The Stay the Night ad series made its debut in December in 12 Midwestern cities. Business has increased since the campaign began, said Wolfe, co-owner of the Halcyon House Bed and Breakfast, 1000 Ohio St. The Convention and Visitors Bureau is doing an excellent job, she said. I think that Lawrence has one of the best CVBs out there, period. Ive seen what other people are doing in other cities, and these people are doing really good. Overnight visitors who came to Lawrence in 2004 spent an estimated $31 million, according to a CVB document. But visitors occupied only 54 percent of total available rooms throughout the year. The CVB hopes to reduce this vacancy burden by promoting Lawrence as a cultural destination. The Bureau placed their Stay the Night advertisements a second time in March. Some hotel managers have reported an increase in room occupancy since the launch of the campaign. The CVB initially placed the advertisements in Omaha, Neb.; Des Moines, Iowa; Tulsa, Okla.; the Kansas City, Mo., area; and eight other Kansas markets, Susan Henderson, CVB marketing director, said.

The CVB chose cities based on previous visitor information requests and the number of new KU students from those communities. Henderson said the campaign focused on attracting visitors within a three- to fivehour drive of Lawrence. We know from research that people arent likely to fly here and make a weekend trip, she said. But its a great drive destination. The CVB tracked response rates by measuring visitor statistics to unique Web site URLs listed in each advertisement. Henderson said it also used a database to track visitor inquiries and online hotel bookings from particular areas. The database showed increased responses from all of the targeted communities, she said. Each of the five advertisements features a different theme. One promotes Lawrence as a winter golf destination. Another encourages the viewer to load up everyone and head for Lawrence. Henderson said the culture and romantic getaway ads have generated the highest response rates. Molly Gordon, front desk cashier at Holiday Inn Express, 3411 Iowa St., said different types of visitors have stayed at the motel this year. It has attracted couples, business people who stay for long durations, and sports teams on the weekends. Lawrence provided a tourist-friendly atmosphere, the Merriam freshman said. Its a nice townie town, she said. This is a very good, artistic place to come with all the galleries, and because of the upand-coming people attracted by the University. Many Lawrence accommodations thrive off KU-related guests, Henderson said. Wolfe estimated that 90 percent of her Halcyon House

guests come to Lawrence for a University function. Lectures and conferences attract an international clientele to her business. Her location between campus and downtown make her house a convenient option for KU visitors, she said. The Halcyon House, as well as 10 other Lawrence properties, allow visitors to reserve rooms through the CVBs Web site, visitlawrence.com. Brandy Ernzen, CVB Assistant Marketing Manager, said online bookings have increased significantly since the launch of the campaign. Reservations made this January and February had doubled from the number made during the same time in 2004. Recent publicity may also be attracting more visitors to the city. Dan Kaercher, editor in chief for Midwest Living magazine, included a one-page feature on Lawrence in the April 2005 edition. He named Lawrence his favorite university town and noted its history and bohemian air, worthy of attraction. The Feb. 25 New York Times travel section included a full-page feature on Lawrence. While some overnight visitors may come to Lawrence for a specific attraction, others discover the city by accident. Debbie White, co-manager of the Lawrence Visitor Information Center, said some road trippers stopped by en route to another destination. She said people were often surprised by the citys history, landscape and shopping. The fact we actually have a downtown thrills people actually it shocks people, White said.

price tag is on deferred maintenance. Most likely there are millions of dollars in maintenance problems that have yet to be discovered, he said. We dont have a comprehensive review, so we know we have more out there than what we have recorded, Modig said. Modigs office is a disarray of countless stacks of files and folders of documented maintenance projects. For Modig, a typical workweek ranges anywhere from 60 to 70 hours, which doesnt leave him much time to tidy up. Most of Modigs time is spent figuring out what maintenance projects must be taken care of immediately and which projects can be put on the back burner. We try to find a reasonable way of taking care of all the Universitys maintenance needs. Modig said. Given the lack of funding, we are put into what we call a crisis management mode. Modig uses the word crisis to describe the Universitys maintenance problem because according to building maintenance guidelines set by the Kansas Board of Regents, more than half of its buildings are deficient. Roofs are the No. 1 priority when it comes to maintenance, Modig said. If a building does not have sound roofing, other problems will follow. We take care of our roofs because lack of roof maintenance will make that building uninhabitable and over time, youll have a much bigger problem then just a leaky roof, Modig said. Repairing roofs is a vital part of preventive maintenance, but they are expensive to repair. On average, Modig is given a $500,000 annual budget to fix roofs. With that budget no more then one or two roofs can be

Construction at 14th Street and Jayhawk Boulevard is near completion. The utility tunnel located underneath the pavement was the Universitys top maintenance priority for 2005. This section of the utility tunnel was in danger of collapsing, putting facility operations employees in danger. The tunnel is about 25 feet deep and contains steam lines and voice and data cables. The tunnel serves the Spencer Art Museum, Kansas Memorial Union, Dyche Hall, Lippincott Hall, Douthart Scholarship Hall and Grace Pearson Scholarship Hall. More than 511,000 square feet of facilities depend on steam produced by the utility tunnel. The cost of emergency replacement of this section of tunnel was $1.4 million dollars. nance workers have to go into certain parts of the tunnel, they are risking their lives. Vernon Haid, senior supervisor of the facility and operations steamfitters department, worked in the tunnel. He alerted the design and construction department to how serious a problem the tunnel had become. Haid, equipped with nothing more then a flashlight and a hard hat, regularly checked the tunnel for routine maintenance. The heat is something else, he said. Its usually anywhere in the range of 130 degrees. The heat was not the only thing Haid had to worry about. Major holes were beginning to form in the corrugated metal and pipes were beginning to rust. The metal liner used to protect the pipes from the elements had deteriorated to such an extent that Haid could easily push his hand through it. For the steam system to operate correctly, the level of steam must remain at a consistent level. If the rusted pipes and eroded metal fails to maintain adequate steam levels, an emergency system releases steam and simultaneously removes all the oxygen in the tunnel. You try not to think about something like that happening when youre down in there, but I would be lying if I said it wasnt in the back of my mind, Haid said. Although work on the steam tunnel underneath 14th Street has been completed, other steam tunnels underneath the campus are deteriorating such as the one near Spooner Hall, he said. As of right now the other tunnels are manageable, but that doesnt mean tomorrow they will be, Haid said. Protecting valuable resources The 14th Street tunnel had to be fixed because it provided heat to Dyche Hall. Dyche Hall is home to nearly 200,000 specimens used for biodiversity research. Had the tunnel not been fixed, rare living and extinct plants and animals that rely on a specific climate would have been lost. Losing those specimens could have cost KU an estimated $5 million in research money. Jordan Yochim, assistant director of administration for the Natural History Museum and Biodiversity Center, said he was ecstatic that KU made that steam tunnel a priority. Dyche has been the permanent home for the Natural History Museum for 100 years, he said. The public knows us here and the research we do is known throughout the world. Not too far from Dyche another building benefited from the repairs to the steam tunnel. The Spencer Museum of Art also relies on a controlled environment to protect its valuable art collection. Richard Klocke, exhibit designer for the Spencer Museum of Art, has the task of preserving works of that date back to Middle Ages. With the age and texture of art pieces we have, it is crucial that our building maintains a normal climate, Klocke said. While those at the art museum and Dyche Hall breathe a sigh of relief, people in Malott Hall are finding it difficult to breathe. Malott Hall, home to the Universitys chemistry department, is a building that stinks, literally. Between the fumes from the chemicals used by hundreds of students and the odors from live animals kept for research, the building has a unique fragrance. In recent years, students have actually passed out, while others have vomited from the strength of nauseating fumes. Robert G. Carlson, professor of chemistry, says the odor of the buildLoca ted o n

ing is only a symptom of the real problem, which is that the Universitys chemistry labs are outdated. There are high schools equipped with better laboratories, Carlson said. Rich Givens, professor of chemistry, said a long list of Kansas schools have better chemistry lab facilities than what Malott Hall offers. Givens said Kansas State and even smaller schools like Fort Hays State surpass the University of Kansas outdated facilities. He said that Kansas State Universitys chemistry laboratories have a maximum of two students sharing one fume hood. In some Malott Hall laboratories up to 17 students are forced to share two fume hoods. Fume hoods are important to chemistry labs

because they vent toxic fumes and increase circulation of good air. Lab is difficult enough for any student, but it is more difficult with crowded, old, laboratories which are on the border of being unsafe, Givens said. Adding more fume hoods at Malott has long been documented on the Universitys maintenance list. Upgrading the fume hoods would cost $3 million, which means the Universitys chemistry students should try to get used to the stench. In spite of the situation, not because of the situation, we have produced good chemistry students, Givens said. Where the animals roam Another building that needs renovating is Bailey Hall, formerly home to the School of Education and now the home of the Universitys award-winning communication studies department. But to those who work on the fourth floor, the building has the reputation of being a zoo. For Nancy Baym, associate

everywhere on my desk, including my computer, Baym said. Bayms office neighbor, Tracy Russo, assistant professor of communication studies, also has had the challenge of working to the sounds of a mother bird feeding her young in the spring. Sometimes the pitter patter of little feet and all the chirping is just too much, Russo said. The occasional animal guest is not the only problem residents of Baileys fourth floor face. To get to the fourth floor on the weekends, it is recommended to steer clear of Baileys elevator and use the stairs. I wont go on the elevators on the weekends because no one is here to help you if you get stuck, Russo said. The aging Bailey Hall elevator has a distinct grind, much like that of an old car stopping abruptly for a red light. I was stuck on it one time only for five minutes, but it kind of freaked me out, Russo said. Aside from old elevators and animal visitors, Russo has one other problem with Bailey Hall. Russo, who teaches communication technology classes at Bailey and at the Edwards campus, must have two different lesson plans for the same class. At the Edwards Campus, she can use facilities equipped with state-of-the-art technology to enhance students learning. This method of teaching is not possible in 105 year-old Bailey Hall, which offers only chalkboards and retro overhead projectors. Its challenging to say the least, Russo said. Joann Keyton, professor of communications studies, agrees that Bailey Hall hinders the ability to teach state-of-the-art communication classes.

The ful it will be able to better address the problem next year. $2.9 million is a drop in the bucket, Bond said of the yearly allocations the University gets for deferred maintenance. Elliott and other KU faculty, staff and students who are inconvenienced by leaky roofs and other maintenance problems should look for things to get worse before they get better. Every year, the University loses ground because the annual deterioration of buildings exceeds the amount of state funds the University gets for maintenance. Modig said a standard formula for determining the deterioration of existing buildings each year is two percent of value. By that yardstick, the University would need $14.6 million just to pay for the 2 percent deterioration of a facility valued at $733.4 million, the total value of all campus buildings. Because KU got only $2.9 million in state funds this year, and can expect about the same next year, the costs of maintenance projects deferred because of lack of funds would go up about $11.7 million each year.

According to the Kansas Board of Edited by Kim Sweet Regents guidelines, Bailey Hall is a deficient building and is in need of minor repairs and limited replacement of components based on age or Rubenstein performance.

professor of communication studies, that reputation was cemented last spring. Baym returned to her office one day to find a note on her door informing her that an opossum had gotten into her office. It must have been frightened because it really did a number on my office, Baym said. The opossum had scurried into the building through a hole in the roof and found its way directly above Bayms office. The ceiling gave way, sending the animal tumbling down to the office floor. Once inside, the opossum decided to use Bayms books as chew toys. In Bayms office one lone white tile stands out amid a ceiling of gray. That tile is the exact spot where the opossum fell, a constant reminder of the day an opossum redecorated her office. That reminder is more subtle than the calling card left by other friendly visitors. For nearly two years, a family of birds would continually find shelter right above Bayms office.

Report of grenade investigated

WASHINGTON The Secret Service was investigating a report yesterday that a hand grenade was thrown at the stage during President Bush's speech in the former Soviet republic of Georgia. After Bush left Georgia on yesterday, the Secret Service was informed by Georgian authorities of a report that a device, possibly a hand grenade, had been thrown within 100 feet of the stage during Bush's speech, hit someone in the crowd and fell to the ground, Secret Service spokesman Jonathan Cherry said. According to the report, a Georgian security officer picked up the device and removed it from the area. The Secret Service had not seen the device as of yesterday evening, Cherry said. It has agents in Tbilisi working with the FBI, State Department and Georgian authorities to investigate the report. Bush was returning to the United States late yesterday after a four-country trip. He was the first American president to visit Georgia.

In the fall, there were 352 more sorority women than fraternity men. Last fall, there were 505 more sorority women than fraternity men, according to the scholarship report. Even though they are outnumbered, fraternity men address academics as well. Beta Theta Pi fraternity, 1425 Tennessee St., is study-oriented, said Stephen Bryant, Wichita junior. We respect the study space 24/7, he said. If theres ever a disturbance, you just say study hall and they take their business somewhere else. This type of attitude earned the men of Beta Theta Pi a 3.43 average GPA in the fall, higher than all greek chapters at the University. Bryant was still aware of the average GPA among women at the University. He said he noticed many women at the University were education majors and thorough in their studies. Although these factors could be possible reasons why females have higher GPAs, some think the statistic has little meaning. It doesnt seem to be an important difference, said David Dewar, assistant director of the humanities and western civilization program. Its essentially a B for both of them.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Column twists Catholics concerns about Pope Ratzinger

Vince Myerss opinion column, Don't expect Catholic pope to advocate liberal ideals, on Friday, greatly distorted the viewpoints of many Catholics. Liberal Catholics do not expect the new pope, or any pope, to advocate liberal ideas. We are afraid that the new pope will purge all moderate and liberal voices in the Church who have different opinions about issues like the ordination of women, an enlightened teaching on sexuality and birth control and an end to the shameful dehumanization of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender Catholics. And we have good reason to be afraid: Just last week the editor of the

Catholic magazine America was forced out of his job for allowing debate on issues that the Vatican feels should not be discussed. One of the most important theologians of the 20th century put it best when he said: In matters of faith, unity; in matters of opinion, liberty; in all things love. This particular Catholic was purged from the Church by then-Cardinal Ratzinger. Liberal Catholics are concerned about a pope who will destroy the freedoms of speech and conscience in our church. This is no reason to lampoon us. Tom Keating Marysville senior Political science

hoot. I'm late, I thought as I hurried down Kentucky Street. As I walked toward my destination, I made sure my cell phone was off. I knew my tardiness would be disruptive, and a buzzing cell phone would certainly not help. I slowed my pace and quietly made my way up the steps of the old house. Inside was still and quiet. I crept into the living room and picked a spot on the floor next to a stranger sitting quietly in meditation. There were about 10 other bodies, all sitting in meditation, apparently undisturbed by my late arrival. Mindful not to make much noise, I folded my legs into the half-lotus position, straightened my back and began to meditate.

NBA satisfies post-NCAA joneses

I like college basketball better than the NBA. Ask any student here at Kansas, and almost all of them will say the same thing. But I love basketball, and with the NCAA Tournament more than a month past completion, the NBA playoffs are all that I have. There are a few good reasons to turn your attention to the NBA playoffs. The one I find works best is finding the teams with former Jayhawks on the roster. That was an easy task in round one. The only former Kansas player in the NBA whose team didnt make the playoffs was Drew Gooden of the Cleveland Cavaliers. He finished one game out. Paul Pierce and Raef LaFrentz, two college AllAmericans, play for the Boston Celtics, who faced the Indiana Pacers and Scot Pollard. What a series that was. Seven games of basketball and three starters from my favorite Kansas team, with the possibility of them all being on the court at the same time. I was going for the Celtics, but seeing Reggie Miller advance in his last season wasnt all bad. They werent the only three from the 1997 Kansas squad in the playoffs. Before they were destroyed by the Miami Heat, I could tune in to watch Billy Thomas and the New Jersey Nets. Jacque Vaughn would have played with the Nets too, but he broke a bone in his right foot in early April. There were plenty more Jayhawks to go around. The Chicago Bulls turned their miseries around and made the playoffs for the first time since Michael Jordan, thanks to young talent including Kirk Hinrich, who started every game this year for Chicago. Yes, the Bulls lost to the Washington Wizards, but Hinrich was more than fun to watch. He averaged 21.2 points for the series, including 34 points on 80 percent shooting in game two. Turning to the Western Conference, the only two Jayhawks on the court were Greg Ostertag of the Sacramento Kings, and Nick Collison of the Seattle SuperSonics. Coincidentally their teams played against each other and Collisons Sonics came out on top after six games. Even though most Jayhawks are out, Collison and Pollard continue to carry the torch for Kansas basketball in the NBA. So what if Collison is only averaging 19.7 minutes a game and Pollard manages only 8.3. Even if you choose not to watch the NBA playoffs, take pride in the fact that our University was able to produce such fine pro athletes who helped their teams get to the biggest stage in basketball. Robinett is an Austin, Texas, sophomore in journalism.

Growing confidence
Baseball team takes winning ways into Southwest Missouri State
BY ALISSA BAUER

KANSAN SPORTSWRITER

Despite a game-three loss to Texas on Sunday, the Jayhawks momentum from the series victory remains strongly on their side as they travel to Springfield, Mo., to take on the Southwest Missouri State Bears (17-29, 4-14 Missouri Valley Conference). Kansas (33-22, 8-11 Big 12 Conference) heads into tonights contest after winning six of its last seven games. Two series victories in a row, against Kansas State and Texas, proved that the Jayhawks were playing their game, junior outfielder Matt Baty said. Im feeling really good about where we are at, he said. Were playing our best baseball right now and this is the time when we want to play

good baseball. The starting pitching has taken shape in the last two weeks, and players who have not been swinging the bats well are coming alive as the season heats up for postseason play. The Bears enter tonights game after winning a non-conference series against Louisiana-Monroe two games to one (4-12, 8-5, 8-4). Making up for a rainout earlier in the season, the Jayhawks now find themselves on a road trip during a crucial part of the season. Tonights game was originally scheduled for March 22, during Kansas nonconference spring break trip, but the cancelation forced the game to be pushed back to May. The last time we were there they had 6,000 fans there last year in May, coach Ritch Price said. Plus it was on TV. This evenings match-up would put Southwest Missouri State coach Keith Guttin at 800 career

victories if the Bears fair as well against the Jayhawks as they did in the earlier matchup. This meeting will mark the second between the two clubs in 2005. The Jayhawks will look to improve over the performance they put up in their last meeting. Six Kansas errors gave the Jayhawks little opportunity to win as they dropped the game to the Bears 8-4 on March 1. Freshman second baseman Matt Lawson enters tonights game after contributing a clutch RBI double to knock in the run that clinched the series victory against Louisiana-Monroe. Lawson is hitting .232 and went 1-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored against Kansas this season. Senior catcher Scott Nasby led the Bears in game two when he drove in five runs on two hits, including a home run against Louisiana-Monroe.

New duds for football

Rumors are appearing on Internet fan message boards about what the new Kansas football jerseys will look like. Will they be wearing gray pants? There are also rumors of new white helmets and special red jerseys. Just a couple of those changes are actually for sure. With the designation of an official KU blue royal blue the football team was forced to abandon the navy blue jerseys it had worn since coach Mark Mangino arrived on campus. The new uniforms will be royal blue, said Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, and will be accompanied by royal blue helmetsnot white, as rumored. While the base color will change, the design will not. Also new next season will be a gray face mask, replacing the white one on last years helmets, Marchiony said. The change in the color of the face mask brings up another popular rumor. It has been widely reported that Kansas will sport gray pants with the new color of uniform. Marchiony was unsure as to whether this would happen. Still under discussion is whether the football team will have an alternate jersey next season. If the alternate jersey is designed, it will be crimson, much like the ones worn by the mens basketball and the softball teams. Mangino, as well as the Athletics Department and adidas, the departments new apparel supplier, all had a say in the design of the jersey for next season. Marchiony said he expected no major changes for the design of the uniform. All of the departments coaches have been approached about how uniforms will look next season, the first year with adidas as the uniform provider. Every coach has been met with individually, and they are all part of the process, Marchiony said. No date has been set for revealing the new uniforms. The Jayhawks open next season Sept. 3 at Memorial Stadium against Florida Atlantic.

Frankenstein scares competition

BY DREW DAVISON

KANSAN SPORTSWRITER

Junior shortstop Destiny Frankenstein, team co-captain, earned her first career Big 12 Player of the Week honors, the conference office announced yesterday. Frankenstein went 6for-10 during the week of May 2-8, helping the Jayhawks sweep Iowa State in Ames, Iowa. Its about time, coach Tracy Bunge said. Bunge said there had been several weeks this year that she felt Frankenstein was deserving of the honor. The last three weeks, in particular, Frankenstein has been consistent offensively and defensively, Bunge said. I feel really honored to win. It kind of blindsided me but Im really excited, Frankenstein said. Frankenstein drew attention this week as she led the Jayhawks to 2-1. But most importantly, Kansas moved up to No. 6 in the Big 12 standings, averting the single elimination play-in game in the conference tournament. She had six hits, including one homer and a perfect fielding percentage during the week.

Junior shortstop Destiny Frankenstein throws toward first base during a game against North Dakota State last month. Frankenstein was named Big 12 Player of the Week yesterday for her performance last week. The honor is very much deserved, Bunge said. She is the second Jayhawk to be named conference Player of the Week. Junior second baseman Jessica Moppin was honored April 26. Frankenstein, Broken Arrow, Okla., native, leads the team in batting average (.360), runs (36), hits (53), home runs (14), total bases (106), slugging percentage (.741), walks (22), onbase percentage (.458) and assists (111). Earlier this season, she broke the single-season home run record for Kansas. She passed Leah Tabb on the all-time list when she hit her 13th home run of the season on May 1 against Texas Tech. The team left for Oklahoma City yesterday afternoon for the Big 12 tournament. Frankenstein said the team needed to continue being aggressive at the plate to do well. She said Kansas could defeat anyone in the confer-

ence. We want to win. My goal is for us to play our best ball. If we lose, I dont want it to be because we beat ourselves, she said. The first stop for Kansas will be against No. 3 seed Texas on Thursday at 11 a.m. Frankenstein said the team couldnt let Cat Osterman, an Olympian, get in the way. Bunge said the team had a lot of respect for Ostermans accomplishments. The first time we played Texas we were in awe of Osterman. We still have a great deal of respect for her but were not in awe, Bunge said. She said Texas was a great team but the Jayhawks would bring their A game to the stadium. We have to play our game every day, she said. Bunge said the team needed to take advantage of the opportunities they got with Osterman in the circle. But the bottom line, she said, started with the pitching staff. The pitchers need to hold Texas down offensively because Osterman does not give up many runs, Bunge said. Edited by Austin Caster

Texas keeps No. 3 rank despite loss

BY MATT WILSON AND ALISSA BAUER

Dodgers end Busch stadium drought

ST. LOUIS Hee-Seop Choi hit a go-ahead, three-run homer after he withstood a collision that forced Scott Rolen from the game with a sprained left shoulder in the Los Angeles Dodgers 9-8 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals last night. Jeff Kent also homered and Cesar Izturis had two hits and two RBIs, helping the Dodgers end a six-game losing streak at Busch Stadium, counting the first round of the postseason last year. Choi drove in four runs for the Dodgers, who squandered an early three-run lead but erased a four-run deficit with a six-run sixth against Matt Morris and reliever Kevin Jarvis (0-1). Rolen, who hit a two-run shot in the fourth, left in the fifth after a violent collision with Choi at first base and was to have precautionary X-rays. Rolen crashed into Choi after grounding out to pitcher Scott Erickson, whose throw pulled the first baseman into Rolens path. Rolen, who separated his left shoulder in the 2002 playoffs, left the field holding his upper left arm, and was replaced at third base by Abraham Nunez. Reggie Sanders homered twice and had four RBIs for the Cardinals, who have homered five times in the first two games of the four-game series. Albert Pujols had an RBI single and a sacrifice fly that cut the gap to 9-8 in the sixth, giving him six RBIs in the series. But he grounded into an inningending double play against Giovanni Carrara with runners on first and second in the eighth. Rolen and Sanders hit consecutive homers in the fourth to tie it at 3. Sanders capped a four-run fifth with a three-run shot, his ninth, to put the Cardinals ahead 7-3.

Injury sidelines Derby flameout

BY RICHARD ROSENBLATT
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

kansan.com

NEW YORK In just a few days, Bellamy Road has gone from favorite to flameout. After a seventh-place finish in the Kentucky Derby, the horse owned by New York Yankees boss George Steinbrenner is now off the Triple Crown trail, sidelined yesterday with a minor foot injury that may keep him away from racing for three months. Bellamy Road came into Saturdays Derby off a dazzling 17 1/2-length victory in the Wood Memorial, and was being touted as racings next superstar. But the strapping colt struggled as the 5-2 favorite behind long-shot winner Giacomo. Bellamy Road was a possibility for the Preakness on May 21 before the injury, discovered by trainer Nick Zito at Churchill Downs. The 3-year-old son of Concerto also will miss the Belmont Stakes, the final leg of the Triple Crown, on June 11. Zito said Bellamy Road could be back for the Travers at Saratoga on Aug. 27. Theres no doubt you will see the real Bellamy Road again, Zito told the Web sites of The Daily Racing Form and The Blood-Horse. Zito did not immediately return telephone calls for comment. His assistant, Tim Poole, confirmed the injury. The injury, a popped splint in racing parlance, is not considered careerthreatening. The injured splint, or bone, is in the area behind Bellamy Roads left front knee. It is caused by too much stress that forces the bone to pop and results in the inflammation of the tissue around the bone. The bad news is he popped a splint, Zito said. The good news is the X-rays are clean otherwise, theres no fractures so hell be back for the big races this summer. Bellamy Road won the Wood in one of the most overpowering performances ever seen in a Derby prep, a victory so thorough that jockey Javier Castellano stood up in his saddle and waved to the crowd at Aqueduct before crossing the finish line. The winning time matched a 32-year-old track

record set by Riva Ridge. Zito theorized that the injury might have been developing before the Derby, and was aggravated during the race. You see this in young horses when theres a lot of stress on their bones, said Dr. Kristian Rhein, a New Yorkbased veterinarian. Its like a remodeling of the bones. Theres a lot of force coming down, and the bone pops out quickly. Its like an overreaction, and its painful. Since Zito saddled a record-tying five horses in the Derby, things have not gone well for the two-time Derby winner. Bellamy Road was his best finisher at seventh; Andromedas Hero was eighth; High Fly was 10th; Noble Causeway was 14th; and Sun King was 15th. High Fly, Noble Causeway and Sun King remained possibilities for the Preakness, while Andromedas Hero likely will run in the Belmont. There was a bit more shuffling Tuesday on the Preakness front, with fourth-place Derby finisher Dont Get Mad being ruled out of the race. Also, Giacomo trainer John Shirreffs was making plans to have his Derby winner vanned from Louisville, Ky., to Baltimore next week. Third-place finisher Afleet Alex was expected to arrive at Pimlico on Wednesday after a van ride from Churchill Downs. Right now, hes doing great, trainer Tim Ritchey said. Everything is going as planned. The Preakness field has eight probables, including five Derby horses: Giacomo, runner-up Closing Argument, Afleet Alex, Wilko (sixth) and Greeleys Galaxy (11th). The likely newcomers are Scrappy T, Malibu Moonshine and Hals Image. Possibilities include two of Zitos horses and one from D. Wayne Lukas either Going Wild or A.P. Arrow while trainer Bobby Frankel could go with High Limit, who finished last in the 20horse Derby. Dont Get Mad could return for the Belmont, trainer Ron Ellis said. He just had two major efforts in two weeks, Ellis said. Well take him off the trail for now, but the Belmont remains a strong consideration.

Czyz nabs conference honors for pitching performance

For the second week in a row, Kansas baseball has a member of its team on the Big 12 Player/Pitcher of the week list. Junior closer Don Czyz was named Big 12 CoPitcher for this week. Czyz shares the honor with Will Savage of Oklahoma. The success Kansas has had is due largely to Czyz, who allowed no runs and only two hits during last weeks match-ups. Czyz picked up his eighth save last Wednesday against the Wichita State Shockers and threw for his ninth and 10th saves against No. 3 Texas this weekend, helping the Jayhawks take the series from the Longhorns for the first time since 1996. Czyz threw the end of game two on Saturday night and Sunday morning because of a rain delay. He came back on Sunday morning to blank the Longhorns and earned his team-leading 10th save, which also ties him for second in the Big 12. Czyz holds a 3-3 record along with a 3.47 ERA. He is third on the team with 56 strikeouts in 57 innings pitched while keeping his opponents to a .209 batting average.

TORONTO Roy Halladay pitched his AL-leading third complete game of the season and the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the struggling Kansas City Royals 3-1 last night. Shea Hillenbrand hit a tworun homer for the Blue Jays, who struggled before playing the major league-worst Royals. Toronto has won two straight against Kansas City after losing their previous four games overall. Halladay (5-2) allowed one run and eight hits, while striking out five and walking none for his 18th career complete game and his first since April 29, 2005, against the New York Yankees. The 2003 AL Cy Young Award winner followed up a brilliant three-hitter in a win over Randy Johnson and the Yankees on April 29 with a lackluster effort in a 5-1 loss to Baltimore last Wednesday. Mike Sweeney homered for the Royals, who have lost 16 of 19 and dropped to 8-25. Sweeney homered in the first inning, his seventh home run in his last nine games. He has 29 of Kansas Citys 108 RBIs (27 percent). Hillenbrand hit a two-run homer off Zack Greinke (0-4), his third homer of the season

The Blue Jays were swept in three of their previous home series this season. ... Toronto C Gregg Zaun thinks hell return to the lineup in two weeks. Zaun sustained a concussion while breaking up a double play in Chicago.

Nasby is hitting .228 and went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored when the Bears faced the Jayhawks earlier this year. The Bears are hitting just .272 as a club compared to the Jayhawks .294 offensive effort. Junior first baseman Jared Schweitzer continues to lead the Jayhawks as he extended his hitting streak to 23 games on Sunday against the Longhorns. He leads the starters with a .356 batting average and went 5-for-11 and drove in three runs vs. Texas. In addition to his game-saving catch at the end of game two, junior outfielder Matt Baty went 5for-11 at the plate against Texas. Baty is hitting .316 on the season. Although the majority of the team believes that the mustaches they are growing are the reasons

for their recent success, fans will not catch Baty with one. No stache for me, just the chin stuff, Baty said. Ive got a dirty stache. Kansas will start freshman left-hander Tyson Corley (1-1, 6.82 ERA) on the mound. The Bears have yet to name a starter. Tyson has been really good for us, theres no doubt about it, Price said. Although the Jayhawks are well-aware of the last two Big 12 series approaching, they also know not to overlook the trip to Springfield. SMS is a big game for us, a big RPI (Ratings Percentage Index) game. If we beat these guys, they have a pretty good RPI so our RPI will go up and we have a chance to make our regional, Baty said. The first game begins at 7 p.m. at Hammons Field in Springfield, Mo. Edited by Jesse Truesdale
