With one minute to play in his
fnal game at Allen Fieldhouse, se-
nior forward Christian Moody found
himself in a place he had spent much
of his playing career: on the foor
battling for a loose ball with Colo-
rado players.
Moody, along with fellow seniors
Jeff Hawkins and Stephen Vinson,
played his last game at Allen Field-
house and contributed to Kansas
75-54 victory against Colorado.
All three players started the game
and helped the team jump out to a
10-2 lead in the frst fve minutes.
Vinson guarded Colorados top scor-
er, Richard Roby, and didnt allow
Roby to get a shot off over him in the
frst fve minutes.
Hawkins contributed when he
hit a three-point shot for the second
basket of the game, and Moody con-
tributed a rebound, a steal and an as-
sist in his frst fve minutes.
Kansas coach Bill Self said after
the game that there was no plan as to
how long he would play the seniors
in the frst half; instead, the plan was
to win the game.
I thought Stephen did great, Self
said. Roby never got any rhythm.
That was due in large part to Ste-
phen. I told all the seniors after the
game, you will remember this night
because you impacted this game as
much as anybody on our team.
After the game, all three players,
along with fellow senior Moulaye
Niang, spoke to the crowd in the tra-
ditional senior night speeches.
Niang was the frst to speak, and
thanked former coach Roy Williams
for giving him an initial shot at play-
ing basketball at Kansas. Niang also
thanked Self for keeping him around
this year and still allowing him to be
a part of the team.
Niangs playing career at Kansas
was cut short because of nagging back
injuries. That did not stop Niang from
being named Second Team Academic
All-Big 12 this season.
Vinson was the next to speak af-
ter Niang. He started by telling the
crowd that Self invoked a time limit
on speeches this year.
Coach told us to keep it to fve
minutes, Vinson said during his
speech. Thats usually what I am on
the court for, so I would get uncom-
fortable if I was on here for more.
Vinson also thanked Self for keep-
ing him on the team after Williams left
for North Carolina. He said he was
unsure of his future at Kansas after
the coaching change, but Self never
thought about getting rid of him.
Hawkins was next, and started
by apologizing to the crowd for the
mistakes he had made during his fve
years at Kansas. He apologized to
the fans, his family and the coaches
for disappointing them.
He also spoke about his relation-
ship with Self. Hawkins said the two
of them had ups and downs along
with left and rights and had been
through it all. He thanked him for all
of his support.
Moody was the fnal senior to
speak. He was also the frst player
to shed any tears. He became emo-
tional when talking about Self and
told a similar story to Vinsons about
not being sure about his future when
Self took over.
Many of Moodys family members
and friends, along with Vinsons
family and friends, donned red shirts
with Moody and Vinsons name on
the front with the phrase walk on
on the back.

At the start of last weeks
Student Senate Finance meet-
ing, committee members were
warned that if all the legisla-
tion of the night passed, only
12 percent of this years bud-
get would be left.
That night the committee
failed two bills of the semester,
its frst failures, leaving it in a
more comfortable position for
its remaining two cycles be-
fore the start of elections.
At Wednesday nights full
Senate meeting, members
passed four new bills leaving
$32,285, or about 26.95 per-
cent, remaining of the unallo-
cated budget the Senate had
at the beginning of the 2005-
2006 school year. The money
in that account used to fund
different programs for stu-
dent organizations through-
out campus.
Richard Zayas, Smith-
ville, Mo., junior and Stu-
dent Senate treasurer, said
the warning may have scared
the committee members a
little, but the most impor-
tant thing was to not to run
out of money before every
group has had a chance to
ask for some.
We want to spend all our
money, he said. We just
want to make sure we spend it
on the right things.
Both Andrew Payne, Gar-
den City junior and fnance
committee chairman, and Za-
yas said they didnt expect any
group that asked for money
this late in the year to have
any trouble getting it as long
as they met all the guidelines
for funding.
We kind of take into ac-
count that a lot of groups dont
have big events till spring,
Zayas said. Thats why we
dont spend all our money frst
semester.

It may have taken a rare two times to get the bill
out of committee, but an attempt to repeal instate
tuition for undocumented residents is now on its
way to the House Floor.
By a 12-to-8 margin, the House Federal and
State Affairs Committee passed the repeal bill after
rejecting it two weeks ago. The re-vote was granted
by committee chairman John Edmonds (R-Great
Bend) after he was asked to consider the re-vote by
House Speaker Doug Mays (R-Topeka).
I was surprised, but not much, committee
chairman Edmonds said about the outcome of
the vote. Edmonds said there were a couple of
members absent from the meeting who had vot-
ed against the repeal earlier. Ray Cox (R-Bonner
Springs) was absent after notifying the committee
earlier that he would miss the meeting. Broderick
Henderson (D-Kansas City) also missed the meet-
ing, though no explanation of his absence was
available.
Debate on the bill could begin as early as this
Friday, yet that hinges upon its introduction to the
House.
Discussion for and against the repeal lasted
roughly 40 minutes in the Old Supreme Court
Room in the Capitol before a vote on the measure
was fnally called. The discussion became emo-
tional at times.

Budget reserve is running low,
but major problems not likely

The NCAA released its Academic Progress Rate
for all division one schools Wednesday, and The
University of Kansas is one of eight schools ap-
pealing the results.
Three KU sports - baseball, football and
womens basketball - did not meet the academic
progress minimum requirement. Womens bas-
ketball will not be punished, because there were
not enough players to gauge academic prog-
ress.
The NCAA gave guidelines for winning an ap-
peal, and Paul Buskirk, associate athletics direc-
tor, said he thought the University would win.
We have a tremendous case, he said.
If Kansas does not win, football and baseball
will lose one scholarship for next season.
Kansas is not alone in baseball and football ac-
ademic and eligibility woes. Football and baseball
were problems nationally in regards to meeting
the APR, Myles Brand, NCAA president said.
Brand said 40 percent of baseball, basketball
and football teams are at risk for losing scholar-
ships in the coming years. Brand also said a total
of 99 teams were in violation of the APR mini-
mum, 90 of which are mens sports.
Currently, the APR minimum standard is a
score of 925. This roughly equals a 60 percent
graduation rate.

Local businesses know all too
well the slew of orders that bom-
bard restaurants after the 2 a.m.
mark, and the wide variety of loca-
tions delivery drivers are expected
to hunt through to reach the door-
step at the end of the maze no mat-
ter what time of day.
While Lawrence gas stations are
charging no less than $2.10 per gal-
lon of gas, business managers say a
small fee to get food from point A
to point B is the most economical
way to keep delivering.
The store doesnt get any of it,
Jeff Morris, Pizza Shuttle general
manager, said of his restaurants
delivery charge policy. The money
goes right to the driver. People have
been real fne about it.
The money Morris refers to is
the quarter-per-delivery charge that
Pizza Shuttle tacks on the end of
each delivery order. Morris pre-
ferred the term fuel surcharge to
delivery charge.
Pizza Shuttle, which relies on
delivery orders for approximately
70 percent of its revenue, is similar
to other delivery businesses in that
it relies on its employees vehicles
to transport the pizza from house
to house. Drivers are reimbursed
for the normal wear and tear on
their cars.
Lindy Robinson, assistant dean
of design and hospitality at John-
son County Community College,
said that whether businesses charge
an actual fee to deliver, depends on
how the corporate structure is set
up within their budget.
She also said that it made sense
that if restaurant employees used
their own cars, businesses wouldnt
charge to deliver. Thats mainly be-
cause tips and minimum wage are
make up for the loss in gas money.
Pita Pit owner Paul Peach
said, Eventually we hope to
have our own cars. Even though
I think a dollar delivery charge
is pretty reasonable. Well pretty
much go anywhere.
No matter the size of the order,
Peach said the $1 surcharge is what
Pita Pit charges customers regard-
less of the amount of food.
The Pita Pits delivery area stays
between 23rd Street to Iowa Street
and 6th Street to Connecticut
Street, but Peach said that his driv-
ers delivered anywhere when the
rush was at a minimum. In fact,
Peach said only about 30 percent of
the restaurants business were from
delivery orders. Most of those or-
ders were from students. The other
orders are from customers such as
the hospital and the Outhouse.
Now were starting to get the
small businesses, too, Peach said.
Those are the businesses that will
keep us alive when all the students
are gone in the summer.
But for now, school is in full
swing. Peach said the majority of
his deliveries went towards stu-
dents living on Iowa or Kentucky
streets and greek housing.
Not every business, however,
requires customers to fork over
the money for gas. Pepperjax Grill,
947 New Hampshire St., boasts its
free delivery service all over its win-
dows and cars.
We wanted to hit a little bigger
audience and get more on cam-
pus, Pepperjax General Manager
Jeremy Trehe said. We dont raise
prices or anything if thats what you
mean. Its really more of an adver-
tising thing than anything.
Robinson disagrees.
Somehow they have to charge
expenses or they wouldnt be in
business, Robinson said. Its free
because I dont know what Im
paying.
Trehe said the company bought
its own delivery cars to be able to
drive the heavily decorated Pep-
perjax-mobiles as a sort of traveling
billboard. The free delivery was a
perk for customers, especially since
free delivery was a rare amenity in
Lawrence.
Thats one of the reasons we
decided to go with free delivery, be-
cause so few businesses in town do
it, Trehe said.

increased to student campus
fees by $4. The frst bill passed
split the transportation fee so
SafeRide would draw a sepa-

Brand said by the 2008-09 sea-
son, teams below the APR mini-
mum could be banned from post-
season play.
Brand said the message to insti-
tutions was clear.
Recruit student-athletes who
are capable of doing college level
work, Brand said.
Buskirk said the process of mak-
ing sure all athletes meet academic
requirements was challenging, but
worthwhile.
Its been a burden and a god-
send, he said. The silver lining
has been that this process has been
the single most powerful tool to
bring academic awareness to the
athletics world.

Bill
continued from page 1a
Rep. Tom Burroughs (D-Kansas
City), ranking minority member
of the committee said he was ap-
palled and embarrassed by the
repeal attempt and added that it
was immoral and racist, slightly
raising his voice throughout his
explanation as he looked on
sternly at other members of the
committee.
Rep. Lance Kinzer (R-
Olathe), argued that while he
respected the different sides of
the issue, he asked about the
other undocumented residents
who couldnt afford the instate
tuition rate.
Should we allow those who
cant attend at the in-state rate
to attend school free of charge?
he asked the committee.
Kinzer also said that it was
unfair for international students
with student visas or an Ameri-
can native who lives on the
east side of State Line Road
and resides in Jackson County,
Mo., to have to pay the higher,
nonresident tuition rate.
Rep. Becky Hutchins (R-
Holton), who proposed the bill,
would not say one way or the
other if she was satisfed with
the bill passing out of commit-
tee, but that she was now look-
ing forward to the discussion of
it on the House Floor.
Hutchins thinks the incoming
freshman representatives will
have a big impact on whether
or not the bill will pass out of
the House. According to Cindy
Roupe, director of public servic-
es at the State Library, there are
36 members in the House now
who did not vote against the
instate tuition bill in 2004. Fur-
thermore, that particular mea-
sure passed by an 81 to 43 mar-
gin out of the House in 2004.
Melinda Lewis, director of
policy advocacy and research at
El Centro in Kansas City, Kan.,
said she was not at all surprised
by the result of the result and
said this bill was going to the
House Floor not as a result of
political principles, but rather
political process.
As to the chances of the bill
making it out of the House,
Lewis said it depended on
how many people would toe
the Speakers line along the
way.
Burroughs said he was very
disappointed by the bill making
it out of committee and expect-
ed a mean-spirited and heated
discussion on the House Floor.
Burroughs also said that if
introducing the repeal bill was
the right thing to do, it should
be done on Friday, which is co-
incidently Hispanic Day on the
Hill.

I wasnt sure what would hap-

had a thought it might happen.
Its been a melancholy feeling
this week, and Im not happy to
see it come to an end.
Falkenstien will continue to
announce the remainder of the

that his last game would most
likely be a defeat for Kansas,

Budget
continued from page 1a
Riley Dutton, Pittsburg sopho-
more and member of the fnance
committee, said the reason more
of the budget had been spent this
year compared to this time last
year was because the major bills
the committee expect to see every
year came through earlier. He said
it was good to see the budget being
used up because that meant more
groups were getting funding, and
Senate was doing a better job get-
ting the word out.
Payne said he thought the com-
mittee could have done a better job
at the beginning of the year giving
out money, but overall it was in a
decent position so that there would
be no major problems at the end of
the year.
I think well be fne if we are a
little cautious on giving out exor-
bitant amounts of money, Payne
said.
Zayas said he felt good about
where the budget stood at this
point as well. He said this year the
committee had more new groups
come to it asking for money, which
put more of a strain on the budget.

years, all of the top picks in Consumer Reports annual vehicle guide are made by Japanese automakers. The Civic is

Asian cars score highest
The AssociATed Press
DETROIT For the frst
time, all the top picks in Con-
sumer Reports annual vehicle
guide are made by Japanese au-
tomakers.
The Honda Civic is the maga-
zines top small sedan, while the
Toyota Highlander Hybrid is the
top mid-sized sport utility vehi-
cle, according to results released
Wednesday. Vehicles from Nis-
san Motor Co. and Subaru, a di-
vision of Fuji Heavy Industries
Ltd., round out the top picks in
10 categories.
Asian brands also fared best
in the magazines survey of ve-
hicle reliability. Toyota Motor
Corp.s Lexus brand was frst,
while Honda was second and
the Toyota brand was third. Ford
Motor Co.s Mercury brand was
the only domestic nameplate to
crack the top ten.
Consumer Reports rankings
are important to automakers,
even though companies cant
use the ratings in their advertis-
ing. Consumer Reports spokes-
woman Lauren Hackett said the
April auto issue is consistently
the magazines most popular,
selling more than 300,000 cop-
ies at newsstands. Thats twice
as many copies as its second-
most popular issue, the Novem-
ber electronics issue.
Consumer Reports began its
top picks list in 1997. It is based
on road and track tests, evalu-
ations of comfort, convenience
and fuel economy, crash protec-
tion ratings from the govern-
ment and insurance industry
and readers reliability rankings.
The magazine said it recently
tested more than 200 vehicles to
come up with its top picks.
Honda Motor Co. had the
most winners, snagging top picks
in fve of the ten categories. Be-
sides the redesigned Civic, the
Honda Accord was the top fam-
ily sedan between $20,000 and
$30,000 and the Acura TL was
the top upscale sedan between
$30,000 and $40,000.
The Honda Odyssey was the
top minivan and the Honda
Ridgeline, which is Hondas frst
entry in the pickup market, was
the top pickup.
Toyota and Subaru each had
two winners, including the
Subaru Forester for small SUV
and the Toyota Prius for green
car.
Nissan had one, the M35 lux-
ury sedan, which the magazine
called an excellent balance of
performance, comfort and han-
dling.
Reliability rankings are based
on a survey of Consumer Re-
ports subscribers who are asked
if they have had serious prob-
lems with their vehicles in the
past 12 months.

MIDDLETOWN, Ohio
AK Steel Holding Corp. re-
lying on hardball tactics used
in other labor standoffs op-
erated its Middletown Works
plant Wednesday with salaried
and replacement workers after
locking out nearly 2,700 union
employees.
Both sides said they want
to negotiate a new deal to
replace the one that expired
at midnight Tuesday, but the
company said the union must
accept that the independent
steel maker needs to cut labor
costs to survive in the increas-
ingly global industry. Union
members, picketing outside
plant gates, said theyd already
made sacrifices, and that the
company had been antagonis-
tic by bringing in replacement
workers.
We are operating in a man-
ner that we unfortunately must
do, under the circumstances,
AK Steel spokesman Alan Mc-
Coy said.
He wouldnt comment on the
replacement workers. He said
the plant had a stockpile of steel
to meet customer demands for
an unspecifed time.
This is not chest-thumping.
This is not done to intimidate,
McCoy said. It is about serving
our customers.
The union, whose members
had recently voted overwhelm-
ingly to authorize a strike, said
it had offered to keep working
under the old contract.
The unions president esti-
mated the company had hun-
dreds of replacement workers
from various sources, but didnt
know details. Brian Daley, pres-
ident of the Armco Employees
Independent Federation, said in
an interview that union mem-
bers were frustrated and skepti-
cal about how
well the plant
could operate
with the new
workers.
Its a major
concern for us
because we care a lot about this
mill, he said.
Union workers helped the
plant set records for productiv-
ity and quality, and take pride in
the plants operations and its im-
portance to this southwest Ohio
city of some 50,000 people, he
said.
The company said its last of-
fer would give raises to most
workers, freeze the existing pen-
sion plan, force workers to pick
up a greater share of health care
costs and streamline job clas-
sifcations so that workers can
handle more duties. AK Steel
also wants to reduce the work
force and says the unions last
proposal would have increased
AK Steels employment costs by
$150 million over the length of
the three-year, two-month pro-
posal.
The company said some 80
percent of the union members
made between $55,000 and
$100,000 in 2005, money that
union workers say they earned
by working weekends, holidays
and double shifts in addition to
their regular hours.
I dont feel particularly over-
paid, added Bob Hauser, a 29-
year employee.
He said most workers under-
stand the competitive situation,
worsened by some companies
that went into bankruptcy and
shed labor obligations. Its
rough. They are sweeping
changes. Its a lot to ask at one
shot.
While unions have the right
to strike, companies for de-
cades could use replacement
workers, said Josh Schwarz, a
Miami University management
professor.
Major league baseball and the
National Football League have
used replacement players, for
example.
