Chris Yates woke up at 5 a.m.
Monday, not to start studying,
but to line up at Spangles res-
taurant, 3420 W. Sixth St.
Yates, Wichita sophomore,
along with a couple of friends,
packed a tent, a grill and some
hot dogs. The group fnished
setting up camp shortly after
5:30 a.m. and plans to continue
waiting until it gets the Spangles
coupon booklet.
We got everything we need
right here and were going to wait
it out, he said. They have the
best breakfast food in the world.
As part of the promotion for
its Lawrence grand opening,
Spangles spread the word that it
would give the frst 100 people
in line a coupon booklet for one
free meal a week for a year.
We planned on getting here
around 8, thinking people
wouldnt show up until some
time after that, Rene Steven,
director of operations for Span-
gles, said. We had people out
here as early as 3:30 a.m.
Customers registered inside
and had to remain at the loca-
tion until the store opened this
morning to receive the coupons.
Spangles conducted random
roll calls to determine if people
on the list were still there.
Ben Broddle, Wichita junior,
said Spangles built a good repu-
tation in Wichita and that made
his decision to camp out easy.
The food is really good, he
said. Thats why weve been out
here so long.

Andrea Hudys gym doesnt
have comment cards.
Hudy has to look a foot and
a half skyward to the basket-
ball players who hover over her,
but once she starts the work-
out there is no doubt who is in
charge.
Coach Hudy, she doesnt play
in the weight room, sophomore
forward Darnell Jackson said.
When you go in there, youre
going to come out sweating.
That intensity is exactly what
the coaches are looking for out
of Hudy, who is in charge of
strength and conditioning for
the mens and womens basket-
ball teams. She is able to get ev-
ery ounce of energy out of the
athletes, and she has a plan for
those who dont buy into the
system as well.
Players who are caught not
giving their all must return at 6
the next morning and get on the
Stairmaster for as many as 400
foors, the equivalent of walking
the stairs to the top of the Em-
pire State Building. Twice.

Six men were arrested and
booked into jail Sunday follow-
ing the brawl at Abe and Jakes
night club early that morning.
According to a police report,
offcers arrived at Abe and Jakes
Landing, Sixth and New Hamp-
shire streets, about 12:40 a.m.
and observed a man coming out
of the club holding a towel over
his head.
While the offcers assisted the
injured man, another man was
being taken out of the club by
two patrons of the bar. The man
being assisted was screaming ob-
scenities, became aggressive with
offcers and had to be detained.
Police were then told about a
fght in progress inside the club.
According to Lawrence Police
Department spokeswoman Kim
Murphree, witnesses said that a
large fght between two groups
broke out on the dance foor.
The offcers primary con-
cern was to break up the fghts
and get victims medical atten-
tion, Murphree said.
According to reports from
witnesses, one of the groups was
made up of teammates fght-
ing with a group of unknown
males, but police do not know
what sport the men may play or
team they belonged to.
One of the men arrested ran
in the 400-meter dash at the
Kansas Relays Friday as a mem-
ber of the Kansas City Kansas
Community College track team.
The 20-year-old Kansas City,
Kan., man, Travis Bowman, was
arrested in connection with dis-
orderly conduct.

A hail storm Sunday night left
two-thirds of Lawrence temporar-
ily without power. The storms ef-
fects caused damage to both Uni-
versity and individual property.
Karla Olsen, Westar Energy
spokeswoman, said that all of
Lawrences power had been re-
stored. The outages were caused
by a piece of equipment that fell
on a main transmission line, set-
ting off a chain reaction that af-
fected other breakers.
Olsen said 21,500 of Westars
customers were without power,
including people who lived in
some residence and scholarship
halls. About 19,300 outages
were restored within the hour.
The other 2,200 without power
had it restored within three
hours, she said.
The loss of power on campus
set back the publication of The
University Daily Kansans Mon-
day issue.
Jonathan Kealing, editor of
the Kansan, said that a small
crew from the newspaper had
to make some quick decisions
when Stauffer-Flint Hall, where
the Kansans offces are located,
lost electricity between 11:30
and 11:40 p.m.
He said that the building had
damage to skylights and win-
dows but that the damage was as-
sumed to be over when the storm
ended. The storm was over when
the power outages occurred.
A crew of seven Kansan staff
members hauled three comput-
ers to a conference room of the
Lawrence Journal-World, where
the Kansan is printed, to set up
and prioritize what would be in
the paper, scrapping stories as
the paper was cut from 16 pages
to 10 pages and setting up page
designs. The paper wasnt sub-
mitted until after 3 a.m., well af-
ter the normal 1 a.m. deadline.
The storm caused damage to
temporary roofs that had been
installed in buildings throughout
campus after the March 12 micro-
burst, said Mike Krings, Univer-
sity Relations spokesman. This
caused minor leaks in campus
buildings. Strong Halls roof was
hit particularly hard, sustaining
damage from 2-inch hailstones.
Blake Hall and Robinson Center
also sustained hail damage.
Krings said a power outage at
the Computer Center east of Rob-
inson caused computer problems
throughout campus, including
the Internet being down in some
buildings Monday morning.
Krings said some vehicles
were damaged. He said the Uni-
versity would not have a dam-
age estimate in the next few days
because it was hard to separate
the damage from this storm and
the damage from the micro-
burst, which had been estimated
at more than $6 million and was
still being assessed.
In Douglas County, damage
counts and costs were not taken
for the hail storm, said Paula Phil-
lips, director of Douglas County
Emergency Management.
I know theres damage out
there, but nothing signifcant,
she said.
Phillips said that because most
of the damage was to individual
property, like cars and windows,
much of it wasnt reported.

Some sewage with
your morning paper?
HUNTINGTON, N.Y. A
71-year-old man who went out-
side in the rain to pick up the
Sunday newspaper plunged
into a cesspool in his front
yard, and his son and neigh-
bor were sucked in when they
tried to help.
The victims escaped, two
with the help of frefghters,
covered in raw sewage but not
badly hurt.
Andrew Palladino said the
soggy ground, soaked by two
days of rain, gave way out-
side his Long Island home: I
walked across the lawn, and
all of a sudden I disappeared.
He yelled to his wife for
help, and she threw a rope
and called their son, Dan, who
lives with them. The son said
the scene was like a horror
picture.
A neighbor who heard the
commotion ran over to help
but the ground gave way again,
swallowing him and the son.
The neighbor crawled out and
passers-by tried to hold onto
the others until the Huntington
Fire Department arrived.
Firefghters secured the
ground, lassoed Palladino and
his son and dragged them out.
Its not the frst time a
cesspool a pit that collects
waste from toilets and sinks
has swallowed someone in
Huntington.
In 2001, a man practicing
archery in the backyard with his
two children died when his cess-
pool caved in and consumed
him. And in 1998, a Huntington
Station man was rescued after
he fell 65 feet into one.

Judge upholds lawsuit
to save orphaned deer
MADISON, Wis. A fam-
ily that nursed Bambi, an
orphaned fawn, to health three
years ago can fght to prevent
a state agency from euthaniz-
ing the animal, state courts
decided.
Michael and Ilene Smith of
rural Columbus fled a lawsuit
against the Wisconsin Depart-
ment of Natural Resources to
halt the execution of the deer.
A judge declined a DNR re-
quest to throw out the lawsuit
in February, and last week the
state Court of Appeals refused
to hear the states appeal. Now
the case is expected to be
scheduled for an evidentiary
hearing in Circuit Court.
The Smiths say the white-
tailed deer is like a family pet
and kept in a fenced, wooded
area on their farm. They say
they followed state instruc-
tions on fencing and vet-
erinarian checks, only to have
the agency order the deers
destruction.
The dispute has been com-
plicated by chronic wasting
disease, the fatal brain ailment
that turned up the states wild
deer herd in 2002. State off-
cials say restrictions to control
the disease prevent the Smiths
from keeping Bambi.
Stolen Dionysus head
returned to italians
NEW YORK Police Com-
missioner Raymond Kelly has
returned a remarkable piece of
stolen loot: an antiquity depict-
ing the Greek god of wine.
On behalf of the New York
Police Department, I bring you
the head of Dionysus, Kelly told
Consul General Antonio Bandini
in a ceremony at the Italian Con-
sulate on Park Avenue.
The antiquity was returned
last week after police deter-
mined it had been stolen from
a museum in Italy more than
two decades ago.
Authorities said Christies
had planned to put the bust
of Dionysus known in Ro-
man mythology as Bacchus
up for sale for $25,000 in
2002 after acquiring it from a
defunct Japanese museum.
But the auction house, amid
suspicions it had been stolen,
turned it over to police.
The NYPDs Major Case
Squad traced the sculpture to
a small museum in Italy that
had been looted in 1983.

9/11 flm headlines
New York festival
NEW YORK The choice of
the Hugh Grant comedy About
a Boy to open the frst Tribeca
Film Festival in 2002 was a
conscious attempt to turn away
from the horrors of Sept. 11,
the impetus for the festival,
and give people a reason to
laugh again, if only for one
night.
Now in its ffth year, Tribeca
faces the terrorist attacks head-
on with the world premiere
of United 93, an intensely
visceral drama about one of
the four planes that crashed
that day after passengers tried
to tackle their hijackers.
The flm from writer-direc-
tor Paul Greengrass, which
recounts the fight and culmi-
nates with the jet nose-diving
into a Pennsylvania feld, will
play on todays opening night
before appearing in theaters
nationwide Friday. Members
of the passengers families are
expected to sit in the audience
alongside others who lost
loved ones during the attacks.
`(United) 93, if it was not
opening the festival, it would
seem strange, said Robert
De Niro, who co-founded
the festival with his Tribeca
Films producing partner, Jane
Rosenthal, to spark economic
recovery in the neighborhood
where he lives and works.
You cant not be touched
by it, honestly, De Niro said
at a news conference Mon-
day. Its direct, simple. Its
important to see because its
kind of a playback of what
happened.
While there are 273 other
films playing at Tribeca over
the next two weeks, a great
deal of emotion and atten-
tion understandably have
been devoted to United
93.

For the past two years, a new
Wal-Mart was acceptable at the
northwest corner of 6th Street
and Wakarusa Drive. The prob-
lem was its size.
Wal-Mart, 6Wak Land Invest-
ments and the City of Lawrence
came to an agreement Friday in
connection with pending lawsuits
regarding the proposed develop-
ment. Under the terms of the agree-
ment, there will
be a six-month
period to review
the new zoning
application for
the property.
In 2001, the
city of Lawrence
prohibited the
building of de-
partment stores
at the corner of
6th and Waka-
rusa. A year later, the city allowed
Wal-Mart to be built at that inter-
section, but its propsed size was
a problem. 6Wak Land Invest-
ments and Wal-Mart sued the
city in 2003 for not approving
the building of the store.
Within the six-month period,
the physical appearance will be
assessed to insure that the struc-
ture maintains city standards.
Commissioners are also looking
to rezone the property to reduce
the now 154,000 square feet to
128,000 square feet, including no
more than 99,990 square feet for
the largest enclosed building.
Im not for or against the
project, Commissioner David
Schauner said. I want to make
sure we have proper land use.
My support is in the reduction
of the square footage.
Schauner said he would like the
new Wal-Mart to be smaller. The
new plans have reduced it by close
to 20 percent, but he said he would
like a larger reduction than that.
Commissioner Dennis Boog
Highberger agreed and said there
should be less retail square footage.
He said he had personal concerns
with Wal-Mart as a business, but
for the commission it was an issue
of land use on deciding whether to
approve the site plans.
Im not real happy with the
results, he said. But we have a
better deal than we would have
gotten with the lawsuit.
During the
procedural stag-
es, issues will be
subject to pub-
lic comment at
city commission
meetings, High-
berger said. Dur-
ing this time, the
city commission
waits for a new
application for
the building to be
considered at its meetings.
Interim City Manager Dave
Corliss said that with improve-
ments at the intersection, the site
should be acceptable for Wal-
Mart, pending the size changes.
In the current agreement, 6Wak
will refund the city the attorney
fees the city was directed to pay by
the court from the initial lawsuit.
Wal-Mart will also pay for two-
thirds of the cost of a stoplight that
will be installed at the intersection,
according to a city press release.
Wal-Mart spokeswoman An-
gie Stoner was unavailable for
comment Monday.
In a city press release, Bill
Newsome, a partner in 6Wak,
said, We are optimistic about a
successful completion of the plan-
ning process and will work with
the city to achieve that result.

IRVINE, Calif. President
Bush, rebutting lawmakers ad-
vocating a law-and-order ap-
proach to immigration, said
Monday that those who are call-
ing for massive deportation of
the estimated 11 million foreign-
ers living illegally in the United
States are not being realistic.
Massive deportation of
the people here is not going to
work, Bush said as a Congress
divided over immigration re-
turned from a two-week recess.
Its just not going to work.
In addition to speaking here,
Bush was meeting Tuesday with
a bipartisan group of senators
at the White House to press his
case.
In Irvine, Bush spoke in sup-
port of a stalled Senate bill that
includes provisions that would
allow for eventual citizenship to
some of the illegal immigrants
already here. Some conserva-
tives say that would amount to
amnesty.
This is one of the really im-
portant questions Congress is
going to have to deal with,
Bush said. The president said
he thought the Senate had an
interesting approach by saying
that if youd been here for fve
years or less, youre treated one
way, and fve years or more,
youre treated another.
Standing in the center of a
theater in the round-type setting
with an audience full of busi-
ness people, Bush spoke sym-
pathetically about the plight of
foreigners who risk their lives to
sneak into the United States to
earn a decent wage. He said the
U.S. needs a temporary guest
worker program to stop people
from paying to be smuggled in
the back of a truck.
I know this is an emotional
debate, Bush told the Orange
County Business Council. But
one thing we cant lose sight of
is that we are talking about hu-
man beings, decent human be-
ings.
Lawmakers, with an eye on
Election Day in just over six
months, remain far apart on
whether to crack down on ille-
gal immigrants or embrace them
as vital contributors to the U.S.
economy.
Bush said its important to
enforce border laws that are on
the books and boasted that 6
million immigrants have been
captured and turned back since
he took offce.
You can be a nation of law
and be a compassionate nation
at the same time, he said to ap-
plause.
The White Houses immedi-
ate goal is to get legislation ap-
proved by the Senate and into
a conference committee. The
presidents aides hope a com-
promise can be reached with
House members who passed
a tougher bill that would im-
pose criminal penalties on
those who try to sneak into
this country and would build
fencing along the U.S.-Mexico
border.
Senate Majority Leader Bill
Frist, R-Tenn., intends to seek
passage of immigration legisla-
tion by Memorial Day by reviv-
ing the Senate bill that stalled
earlier this month due to inter-
nal disputes in both parties as
well as political maneuvering.

So it comes as no surprise to
learn the players usually take
care of business during the al-
lotted time.
Under Hudys watch, coaches
say the players have reached
new ftness levels, enabling them
to stay in games longer and fght
for loose balls harder.
After seeing the results, have

We like to make them em-
brace it, Hudy said with a laugh.
An early wake-up call
Hudys job is a simple one: make
the players more physically ft.
Senior forward Crystal Kemp
said the workouts seemed over-
whelming at frst.
At the time, you dont think
you can do it and lift that much
weight, she said. But when you
see yourself doing something you
didnt think you could do, youre
proud of yourself, and you want
to show her and your teammates
that youre working hard.
During the summer, the
womens team chose to have its
workouts at 6 a.m. so the players
wouldnt have to worry about
doing it in the afternoon.
The mens team opted for
afternoon workouts, but that
presents its own set of diffcul-
ties for players who may be tired
from morning classes.
Freshman guard Brandon
Rush, who coach Bill Self refers
to as a comedian, knows better
than to laugh through a work-
out.
You dont get breaks, he
said. You dont get to sit down,
you dont get to take a drink.
Shell stay on you.
Hudy said it can be a telling
sign whether players embrace
the workouts or shy away from
them. Occasionally, a recruit
will visit during one of her in-
tense weightlifting sessions.
Sometimes it can be over-
whelming, and sometimes the
kids are up for the challenge and
want to embrace it, she said.
Taking her work home
Hudys dedication to strength
training isnt just an act she puts
on for the players. She lives it
out at home as well.
After getting to the offce at
6 in the morning and spend-
ing a whole day in the gym, she
doesnt head straight for the
couch at home. She mountain
bikes.
Hudy has run in 13-mile half-
marathons, but is considering
pushing her training to the next
level and preparing for a triath-
lon, which she hasnt done be-
fore. A standard triathlon con-
sists of approximately one mile
of swimming, 25 miles of bicy-
cling and 6 miles of running.
And the players think they have
it tough.
She moved to Lawrence two
years ago having spent her life
on the East Coast, frst as a col-
lege volleyball player at Mary-
land and then as strength and
conditioning coach at Connect-
icut, where the Huskies won
both the mens and womens
basketball titles.
Her boss there was Lew Per-
kins, who didnt hesitate to
bring her to Kansas when the
job opened.
She is one of the best strength
coaches around, Perkins said.
Shes a good motivator, a great
person and a great teacher.
The teacher role is one she
feels comfortable in, and why
she can feel comfortable leading
a room full of men.
I compare it to guys that
have had a female math teacher.
If they still teach you something,
whats the difference? she
asked. I like to think I teach
those guys something about
weight training, integrity and
character the same things a
male teacher would teach.
Of course, Hudy yells a little
more than the average math
teacher.
A year-long commitment
During the workouts, Hudy
does not get stingy with her in-
tensity.
This is especially true right
now, which Hudy describes as
her primary time. She sees the
players only for an hour and a
half per week during the season,
but will get as many as six hours
per week with the players dur-
ing the offseason.
During the summer work-
outs, players run, lift weights,
do squats and presses and tackle
any number of drills during the
75-minute session.
Everything about the work-
out is tightly controlled, down
to the second.
We have like 30 seconds to
lift, and then the clock goes off
and we have 15 seconds to get to
the next station, Jackson said.
Its pretty hectic in there.
For younger players, it can be
overwhelming. This is especially
true of womens basketball play-
ers, who may not be used to the
workouts. These freshmen work
not only to learn the system, but
also to catch up to the upper-
classmen, who have had the ben-
eft of previous weight training.
Hudy says the commitment
that Jayhawk players make is far
greater than any high school pro-
gram she has ever seen. Every
player devotes not just the season,
but the whole year to training for
basketball.
What people see is a very
small percentage of what the
kids do, she said.
Seeing the results
In the gym, Hudy isnt just
projecting her intensity onto the
players, shes getting them to
imitate it.
Ivana Catic is a player who
Hudy enjoys having in the weight
room. The freshman guard is of-
ten yelling at teammates during
workouts, encouraging them to-
ward the end of long sessions.
We try to teach them how
to be passionate about things,
Hudy said. Ivanas pretty pas-
sionate about basketball and
working hard.
In December the womens
game against Wisconsin went
into double-overtime. Catic,
Kemp and senior guard Erica
Hallman played all 50 minutes
of the game. After the frst over-
time, Catic ran into the huddle,
yelling the same thing she does
toward the end of intense work-
outs: Hudy!
Those workouts, Catic said, are
the reason the teammates are able
to run up and down the court for
so long without fatiguing.
The training paid off. Kansas
won the game 90-87.

Students who spend a lot of
money ordering pizza could
have a shot at a $1,500 prize to-
ward tuition and books.
Dominos Pizza has started a
contest this spring for students
in residence halls, in which stu-
dents are allowed to use both
their Beak Em Bucks and KU
Cuisine meal plans.
Battle of the Dorms is a compe-
tition that will award $1,500 to the
student who orders the most Dom-
inos Pizza during the semester. The
student must live in one the resi-
dence halls. Casey Myers, general
manager at Dominos, 832 Iowa
St., said the residence hall with the
most orders would receive a plaque
or certifcate, and the foor with the
most orders would get a pizza party
at the end of the semester. The resi-
dent assistant of the student who
wins will also receive $500 for tu-
ition and books.
Myers spoke to RAs about
the contest early in the semes-
ter, and table tents were set up
in Mrs. Es to inform students
about the competition.
Alison Henning, Denver fresh-
man, said she ordered pizza al-
most every other day early in
the semester. Henning said that
because she was such a frequent
caller, Dominos knew her voice
and her room number. She said
that when she was debating
whether to order, the contest
came to mind as a reinforcement.
Becky Losey, Roeland Park
freshman, and Amber Stewart,
Kansas City, Kan., freshman,
said they got food fatigue from
residence hall dining services.
Losey said she thought it was
convenient to order food using
her KUID because she rarely car-
ried cash. The two were skeptical
of the competition, however
I would just order a lot of
pizza and not win, said Losey,
McCollum Hall resident.
Stewart, Oliver Hall resident,
said she had ordered Dominos
a few times but that she would
rather use her money for other
things than the contest.

TOPEKA Amid a mumps
outbreak, health offcials Mon-
day showed off an Internet-
based immunization registry to
make sure Kansans dont miss
vaccinations against such dis-
eases.
The system is 10 months old
and allows its users mostly lo-
cal health departments for now
to check peoples vaccination
records, even if they move or
change physicians. Its part of
a larger effort to boost Kansas
relatively low childhood immu-
nization rates.
The goal is to persuade all
of Kansas 99 local health de-
partments, plus private clin-
ics, hospitals and doctors
offices to register vaccina-
tions in the system dubbed
KSWebIZ. So far, 36 health
departments and a handful of
private offices and clinics are
participating.
Offcials from the Kansas
Department of Health and En-
vironment and Shawnee Coun-
ty Health Agency had a news
conference as part of National
Infant Immunization Week.
But it came as health offcials
worry about a growing number
of mumps cases in Midwestern
states, including Kansas.
Howard Rodenberg, director
of KDHEs health division, said
one issue in the mumps outbreak
is that some Kansans had only
one vaccination before entering
school, or none at all. Doctors
and public health offcials rec-
ommend two doses of the MMR
vaccine against measles, mumps
and rubella before a child enters
school.
Rodenberg said he cant say
whether Kansas would have
fewer mumps cases had KSWe-
bIZ been in place earlier.
I do think we would have
a much better handle on those
who got immunized and who
didnt, which would help us to
get a better assessment of the
pattern of disease and maybe
help us to have more effective
interventions, Rodenberg said.
As of Friday, Kansas reported
205 confrmed or probable cas-
es of mumps in 31 counties. In
a typical year, Kansas sees only
a few cases; in 2005, there were
none.
But the mumps outbreak isnt
the only reason for KDHE to
publicize the registry.
A report issued last month
noted that in 2004, Kansas
ranked 43rd among states in the
percentage of children under 3
who have received proper vacci-
nations, at less than 78 percent.
The report was commissioned
by a new public-private effort to
boost vaccination rates.
KDHE Secretary Rod Brem-
by noted that for years, doctors
have recorded shots in pink
booklets that parents were sup-
posed to keep at home. He said
that method worked as long
as parents didnt lose the book-
let or a childs school or doctor
didnt change.
Years ago, we realized
that there was a better way to
track immunizations, Brem-
by said.
So far, Shawnee Countys is
the largest local health depart-
ment to participate in the regis-
try program. The state estimates
about 557,000 Kansans have 1.9
million vaccinations logged on
the system.
But Rodenberg acknowl-
edged the system wont work
as well as it can until all health
departments and many private
offces participate.
Some of the issues are re-
lated to computer capabilities,
Rodenberg said.

NEW YORK A chanting
crowd gave the citys transit
union chief a supportive send-
off Monday before he was to
begin a 10-day jail sentence for
leading a strike last year that
shut down the citys subways
and buses.
The walkout crippled the city
just before Christmas last year
and violated a state law banning
strikes by public employees. A
judge ruled union leader Roger
Toussaint should be jailed for 10
days and fned $1,000 for con-
tempt.
The Bob Marley song Get
Up, Stand Up and cheers from
a crowd of dozens greeted Tous-
saint as he arrived at a rally
in Brooklyn before a planned
march with workers across the
Brooklyn Bridge to a jail in
Manhattan.
Tens of thousands of New
Yorkers had to walk the same
route during the three-day
strike.
I will do 30 years be-
fore transit workers surren-
der, Toussaint said in a fiery
speech. Working people have
tried to obey the law, and we
have gotten nothing but in-
sults for it.
Union leaders addressed the
crowd, hailing Toussaint as a
working-class hero who stood
up for the rights of the com-
mon man by demanding fair
treatment on pensions, health
care and wages. Chants in-
cluded Long live the union
and Long live Roger Tous-
saint.
Were with you, Roger,
the Rev. Al Sharpton told the
crowd. We will be there every
step of the way.
Sharpton, who called the
punishment an immoral attempt
to intimidate workers, prom-
ised to hold a vigil on the union
boss frst night in jail. He said
he would stay in a tent outside
the jail to protest.
The 60-hour strike ended
without a contract between
Transport Workers Union Lo-
cal 100 and the Metropolitan
Transportation Authority, the
state agency that runs the bus
and subway system.
Union members voted last
week to approve an offer they
had rejected in January, but the
MTA has said it doesnt have to
accept the vote because the dis-
pute is in binding arbitration.
The 33,000-member union
was fned $2.5 million for the
strike and plans to appeal.
Gov. George Pataki, at an
appearance Monday in the
city, said he wanted people to
remember the plight of Mat-
thew Long, a frefghter who
was seriously injured when he
was run over by a vehicle while
bicycling to work during the
strike.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day Youll Have:
5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Diffcult
t horoscopes
ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH
Timing works in your favor. Dont push
away someone who cares a lot about
you. Tension will build if you dont han-
dle a domestic or personal matter. Yes,
you have unusual magnetism, but in
some situations it might not help.
Tonight: What you want.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HH
You have always known that words are
powerful weapons -- you have known
that for a long time. But you see an excel-
lent example of this phenomenon today.
Rise above pettiness. Dont personalize
what you hear.
Tonight: Do your thing.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH
Crowds, meetings and friends seem
to hold unusual magic right now. You
could be overspending or driving some-
one away. You might want to rethink a
money matter. If something is costing
you too much, say no.
Tonight: Where your friends are.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH
You could get irritated with a boss or
a situation that surrounds your imme-
diate world. Putting on war paint isnt
going to help calm down the situation,
but then you might not want it to, either.
Tonight: Out late.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH
Detach and take an overview. Your in-
stincts could be colored by frustration
and anger. Slow but steady works far
better than you realize. Seek out experts
if a situation becomes complicated.
Tonight: Relax to a movie or music.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH
Deal with others individually. Your willingness
to be vulnerable with a key person in your life
can and will make a difference. Interest sur-
rounds an investment. Still, a friend might be
morevestedthanyourealizetobringyouin.
Tonight: Be a duo.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH
Many people tap on your shoulder.
Though they might ask you for your
opinion, they really wont integrate your
ideas right now. Let events unfurl, trust-
ing that alls well that ends well.
Tonight: Follow through on anothers plans.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH
Pace yourself. What your sixth sense
tells you might be in direct conflict with
what is going on. Say little and concen-
trate on what you must do. You can ac-
complish a lot. What is left pending will
remain so for a while.
Tonight: Find your favorite chair.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH
Your get-up-and-go could easily trigger
someone in your life. He or she feels
challenged by your sense of direction,
vision and ability to carry through. Lis-
ten to this person gripe, but dont feel
as if you need to do anything about it.
Tonight: Allow only good times to enter
the equation.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH
A low profle might work best. You eas-
ily might need some peace and quiet to
think through a problem or hassle. Others
could be challenged or, at best, hard to
contain. Know when to be unavailable!
Tonight: Leave the answering machine on.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH
You can understand and work with
nearly anything. Your sense of friend-
ship pervades even the most difficult
situations. Still, be aware of certain
responsibilities or errands. You have to
meet daily demands first.
Tonight: Favorite place.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH
Slacking off could be costly, but you still
might choose to do just that. You could
be bored by the routine. If that is the
case, think of a positive way to recharge
your interest in your daily life or work.
Tonight: Go overboard.

Dear Dr. Lariviere,
On behalf of the GTA nego-
tiating team, we would like to
welcome you to our University.
We would also like to take a
moment to familiarize you with
a situation here, and express
our intense displeasure with
the apparent values and priori-
ties of our current administra-
tion. As you may know, nego-
tiations between the University
and its GTAs have recently
reached an impasse. You may
not be aware, however, of the
details leading up to this event.
The two sides have reached
tentative agreement on four
articles of the contract. In all
four cases, these were Univer-
sity proposals that the GTA
team chose to accept. Three of
these were signed in a single
negotiating session; the very
same day the University team
informed us that they had no
intention of moving toward
a compromise on any open
issues, and therefore intended
to initiate an impasse. Believ-
ing we were fnally making
progress and having given up
some things in the hope that
our greater priorities would be
respected, the GTA team was
shocked.
From the beginning of the
negotiations process, the
University has tried to pres-
sure the GTA negotiating team
into accepting an unfavorable
contract by withholding all
merit raises, and threatening
to continue to do so until an
agreement is reached. Consid-
ering that the existing agree-
ment between the University
and its GTAs guarantees yearly
raises for all returning GTAs,
we fnd this tactic appalling.
Yet when we turned down the
Universitys fnal package of
outrageous proposals, we were
accused in the press of sacrifc-
ing possible raises in favor of
unimportant non-economic
issues.
We do not see why negotia-
tions should be an all-or-noth-
ing process, nor do we feel that
money is the only thing that
impacts our lives or our perfor-
mance as teachers.
The above situation begins
to illuminate just why those
other issues are incredibly
important, and why it is mis-
leading even to call them non-
economic. It was the decision
of the provost to deny us our
guaranteed raises. It is also
the provost who has the fnal
decision in our grievance pro-
cedure, which is the accepted
avenue for contesting this sort
of contract violation.
Similarly, the 10-semester
limit on GTA appointments
has an undeniable impact
on both educational quality
and the economic realities of
GTAs. By fring GTAs system-
atically after fve years, before
most students can complete
their Ph.D.s, the University
manages to eliminate the most
experienced GTAs as well as
force active GTAs to hurry
through their degree programs,
leaving them overworked and
psychologically strained. Many
of the best graduate students
must choose to leave KU after
completing their Masters
for programs that offer bet-
ter funding opportunities. We
were told, however, that, be-
cause GTAs who have reached
their 10th semester can apply
to become lecturers, at which
time they would be allowed to
maintain the same job respon-
sibilities for a smaller salary
and without a tuition waiver,
we should not complain about
the current situation. It was
further explained to us that we
could even see this as a beneft,
because most universities will
assume a lectureship consti-
tutes a promotion, and will
consider our applications more
favorably because of this.
For an institution whose
purported mission is higher
education, this is a surprising
position to articulate. Not only
does this imply a willingness to
mislead our peers in the acad-
emy about the nature of em-
ployment here, it also allows
KU to claim that one third of
its courses are taught by GTAs,
when many more are also led
by students who merely hold
an alternate title. Were sure
we do not need to tell you that
this is dishonest, and repre-
sents a clear preference for the
appearance of quality rather
than its actual existence.
But other issues aside, let
it be known that KUs sal-
ary offer was by no means
something we could accept.
The minimum salary the offer
proposed was $3,000 short of
KUs own estimate of our cost
of attendance, and the annual
increases showed no sign of
closing that gap. We doubt we
need to explain that a starv-
ing employee, or one who is
forced to take on several jobs,
is probably not able to perform
at her full potential either as a
student or an instructor.
Furthermore, KUs propos-
al exacerbated the inequality
between GTAs by insuring
those at the bottom of the
salary range would never
feel the benefits of a raise
for good performance, while
those who make the most
would continue to see raises
each year. We think reward-
ing employees for exceptional
job performance encourages
GTAs to give their all, and we
certainly can not accept any
offer that would place even
greater economic pressure on
those who are struggling most
to get by.
We are deeply concerned
with the current climate of
our University. To prefer such
empty posturing over an op-
portunity to improve the actual
quality of our institution indi-
cates, we feel, a serious perver-
sion of priorities. We address
this to you because you are in a
position to help us correct our
trajectory. We hope that you
will promote education, rather
than pay it lip service for the
sole purpose of capital gain.
Lets keep KU a college, not
create a corporation. Will you
restore our rightful interests, or
will you continue to lead us in
our current direction?

Sincerely,
nKatyMartin&KyleWaugh

Issue: Former KU run-
ning back John Randles
criminal record
Stance: Academic schol-
arship students must
maintain a certain GPA
to keep their scholar-
ships. Randle should
have to maintain a cer-
tain code of conduct to
his athletic scholarship.
Why does someone always
have to be around when John
Randle breaks the law?
Why just a few weeks ago, the
Wichita junior was charged with
battery and disorderly conduct in
connection with a fght with former
teammate Jerome Kemp, marking
the sixth time police have arrested
the former KU running back.
Some other past incidents he has
been cited for include stealing beer
from a convenience store, fghting
outside of Its Brothers Bar & Grill
and peeing on a door outside the
Granada, punching a manager who
told him to stop.
Now some people might be say-
ing, How does he manage to get
himself in trouble so often? Why
doesnt he just walk away from
these situations? Oh, how he
has tried. At least twice, in March
2004 and then the most recent
incident, Randle tried leaving but
they wouldnt let him. The police
said he was feeing the scene.
Randle cant seem to catch a
break with the football program ei-
ther. Coach Mark Mangino kicked
him off the team last spring after
a spate of run-ins with the law.
Things do not look to be changing
much for the upcoming season, as
well. If there is any silver lining, its
that he has retained his scholar-
ship each year.
Naysayers contend that an ath-
letic scholarship is a privilege and
that it should be taken away from
Randle because of his criminal re-
cord. If he isnt allowed to play on
the team, why should he continue
to attend the University of Kansas
for free, they ask.
Actually, that is an excellent
question that the Athletics Depart-
ment needs to answer and be
accountable for. No one doubts
Randles prowess on the feld but
this does not justify keeping him
around on scholarship. His ac-
tions deserve repercussions. Even
if the scholarship is contractual,
the department should be able to
opt out of it. Otherwise, Randle
will set a dangerous precedent in
how the University handles play-
ers who cannot act responsibly off
the feld.

Last week, FBI Special Agent
Robert Herndons talk for the
Sutton Ethics Lecture focused
on fraud, bribery, embezzlement
and deception in the white-col-
lar arena, some of which strike
particularly close to home a
pharmacists scheme to siphon
medicine from cancer patients to
line his pockets with $19 million.
After getting past the shock and
revulsion from such stories, we
wonder how such vile, repulsive
humans can exist. Herndons
message theorized how these
breaches of trust originate in the
minds of their perpetrators. He
suggested that atrocities derive
from the alignment of three ele-
ments: Presentation of opportu-
nity, justifcation of their actions
and possession of greed. When all
these ingredients are present, and
a strong set of moral standards is
absent, bad things happen.
Though it seems impossible that
these types of people were once as-
piring professionals like the rest of
us, we would be wise to acknowl-
edge that they, too, were once
decent human beings. How, then,
did they stray so far from the moral
path? It seems reasonable to sus-
pect that their bad habits grew from
humble origins. Herndons topic
becomes relevant here: We regu-
larly face opportunities to cheat,
lie, steal, coerce and manipulate for
personal advantage. Granted, the
things that tempt us at this point in
our lives will probably neither in-
jure thousands of people nor make
us extravagantly rich, but minor
transgressions can quickly turn into
habits that ensnare otherwise good
people into lifestyles of deprav-
ity. Every time a person commits
a questionable act, it becomes
easier to do it again and to become
callous to morals. This downward
spiral continues until their face
appears on the front page of the
newspaper with a story about their
utter corruption and immorality, all
to the great embarrassment of their
community and family. Thus, great
offenses may grow from seemingly
trivial ones.
There is hope. Our manner of
conduct now will form the mold
for decades to come. The habits
we learn (and unlearn) will be
the ones we still practice later. So,
dont merely consider the fact that
the issue youre grappling with is
not of profound signifcance at
this moment. Consider the fact
that your slight aberration from
principle may be the beginning of
a long downward slide into the
depths of dishonor.
Remember, even the most
crooked people were once just
regular people who thought they
were basically honest and good.
They never imagined they would
one day be capable of carrying out
the treachery that they have. We
cant make that same mistake. We
need to realize that the potential
exists within each of us and take
measures to prevent it.

By Roxana Hegeman
COLUMBUS Five teen-
agers were charged Monday
with threatening to carry out a
shooting spree at their south-
east Kansas high school in an
alleged plot that authorities
said was foiled after details ap-
peared online.
Prosecutors charged Charles
Coy New, 18, Robert Hunt,
17, Caleb Byrd and James Till-
man, both 16, and Andrew Jae-
ger, 15, each with one count
of incitement to riot and one
count of making a criminal
threat. All fve appeared in
court Monday, where Judge
Robert Fleming set bond at
$50,000 for New, who was
charged as an adult. The four
juveniles were being held until
a status hearing on May 3.
New would be under house
arrest if he were to post bond.
These are serious allegations
and they scared me as I read
them, Fleming said.
However, Fleming said Assis-
tant Attorney General Stephen
Maxwells request to set News
bond at $500,000 was exces-
sive.
At this point, the state is very
concerned with public safety,
Maxwell told the judge.
If convicted, the teens could
face seven to 23 months in jail
on the charge of incitement to
riot and fve to 17 months in jail
on the charge of making a crimi-
nal threat. Each charge also car-
ries a fne of up to $100,000.
Families of the fve youths
flled the courtroom during the
hearing. One family passed a
package of tissues around. An-
other woman wailed just min-
utes before the hearing began
after the bailiff handed the fam-
ily some court papers.
Deputy Attorney General
Eric Rucker said it would be
premature to say whether more
charges will be fled because the
investigation continues. It is a
very fuid case, Rucker said.
We have not ferreted out all
the facts, but we are comfortable
with the charges fled today, he
said.

TOPEKA Supreme Court
Chief Justice Kay McFarland
asked Monday for an investiga-
tion into Justice Lawton Nuss
conversation with two senators
related to a pending school f-
nance lawsuit.
McFarland made her request
in a letter to the state Commis-
sion on Judicial Qualifcations,
a 14-member panel charged
with investigating allegations of
judicial misconduct.
There are no known cases in
Kansas of a justice being disci-
plined publicly for misconduct.
The court would make the fnal
decision on what action to take
against Nuss. Its options include
public censure, suspension or
removal.
In a statement, McFarland
said she sought the investiga-
tion because, the public trust
and confdence in our judiciary
is vital to our system of govern-
ment.
Gov. Kathleen Sebelius
praised McFarland for a prompt
response.
Personally, Im shocked and
angry with Justice Nuss inap-
propriate actions in this matter,
Sebelius said in a statement.
We must make sure we dont let
this issue get in the way of the
very important work before us:
making sure every Kansas child
receives a quality education to
prepare them for the future.
Nuss removed himself Thurs-
day from further proceedings in
the 1999 lawsuit against the state
by parents and administrators in
Dodge City and Salina. Because
of Supreme Court orders last
year, legislators still face a man-
date to increase spending on
public schools.
Nuss decision to step aside
complicated an already diffcult
debate over education funding,
with legislators reconvening
Wednesday to draft a school f-
nance plan and fnish their busi-
ness for the year.
The attorney generals offce
began an inquiry into Nuss
conversation last week, accord-
ing to four senators interviewed
by an investigator.
House Speaker Doug Mays,
R-Topeka, has been considering
appointing a special committee.
Mays said McFarlands de-
cision will cause him to delay
making a decision on establish-
ing a committee by at least an-
other day.

Kerry Meiers four-touchdown performance in
the annual Spring Game was exciting, especially
considering the Jayhawks had a grand total of 13
passing touchdowns all of last year.
But before you start scraping your cash together
for a plane ticket to the Fiesta Bowl, take a look at
next years team and its schedule and youll prob-
ably come to the same conclusion I did: This is a
team that will be lucky to break .500.
The defense and in particular, the rushing de-
fense was Kansas bread and butter last year. Led
by Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year Nick Reid,
the D allowed less than 1,000 yards of rushing and
only eight rushing touchdowns in 12 games. It
would have been even less than that had Kansas
not played Texas, which gained 336 yards on the
ground and scored four rushing touchdowns.
But the anchors of that defense Reid, Kevin
Kane, Banks Floodman, Charlton Keith, Charles
Gordon and Theo Baines have all played their
last games at Memorial Stadium. Without a return-
ing starting linebacker or half of its secondary, its
implausible to believe that Kansas will even come
close to matching last seasons defensive output.
Without its defense playing at such a high level,
Kansas could have easily gone 2-9 last season.
Thats because the offense was an embarrassment.
Whether it was terrible play-calling and personnel
decisions by the coaching staff or underachiev-
ing, not-talented-enough players, the Kansas of-
fense consistently produced inconsistency. With
the emergence of Meier as at least a serviceable
quarterback, it looks like the offense will show
improvement. But really, anything is an improve-
ment, compared to last years musical chair act
that played out behind center.
The changes on offense and defense should ul-
timately result in a wash if Meier is able to live up
the early hype.
But the biggest reason Kansas wont improve
upon last seasons record is the schedule. First
look at the non-conference schedule, which fea-
tures early tests from big name teams. After two
cupcakes against Northwestern State and Loui-
siana Monroe, the Jayhawks will go on the road
to Toledo for a nationally-televised match-up,
against a team that won the GMAC Bowl (com-
parable to the Fort Worth Bowl) and that will al-
ready have been battle-tested by an opening game
against fellow Big 12 North chum Iowa State. The
following week, the Bulls of South Florida will
storm into Lawrence. The Bulls lost to N.C. State
in the Meineke Car Care Bowl on New Years Eve
last season. But they are no strangers to playing
tough non-conference games on the road. South
Florida lost at Penn State by 10 points and at No.
9 Miami last season.
Jayhawk fans will and should feel happy with
a 3-1 record going into Big 12 Conference play,
which wont offer any free lunches next season.
The Big 12 Norths stock is rising with Nebraska,
which the Jayhawks face in Lincoln, bringing in
its second top-rated recruiting class in a row and
still glowing from its upset of Michigan in the Al-
amo Bowl. Did anyone really think the Huskers
would stay down for long?
Other tough tests will come at home against
Colorado, which always plays Kansas well, Texas
A&M, a team looking to prove itself legitimate after
a disastrous 2005 season, and tough road games at
Iowa State and Missouri, which will want to avenge
three straight losses to Kansas. The remaining three
games are at Baylor and at home against Oklahoma
State and Kansas State. Those are games that Kan-
sas should win, but as the Jayhawks proved against
the Wildcats last season in Manhattan, the better
team doesnt always come out on top.
My prediction is that Kansas will fnish the sea-
son the season at 6-6, just enough to return to the
Fort Worth Bowl and beat an equally average op-
ponent from an inferior conference.
Look, there are literally thousands of things that
could happen between now and the beginning of
football season that could change the way Jayhawk
fans look at next years season. Nebraska quarterback
Zak Taylor may go down with an injury. Missouris
athletics department may decide to scrap funding for
its football team to cover its legal bills. Nick Reid may
fnd a discrepancy on his ARTS Form and discover
he still has another year of eligibility.
Bur right now, with the players that Kansas
is bringing back and the tougher pre-conference
schedule, it doesnt look like Jayhawk football
will be moving forward next season.
Its hard to when youre stuck in neutral.

Kansas played 21 non-con-
ference games before the Big 12
Conference schedule began with
a three-game set against Baylor
in mid-March.
But the Jayhawks wont let
a minor detail like the grueling
home stretch of their conference
schedule deter them from put-
ting more on their plates.
This afternoon, Kansas will
kick off the Best of the Mid-
west Tournament at Communi-
tyAmerica Ballpark in Kansas
City, Kan. The frst game of the
fve-game tournament will be
the Jayhawks 3 p.m. match-up
against the Redhawks of South-
east Missouri State.
Today and Wednesdays
midweek games will mark the
ffth straight week that Kansas
has interrupted its conference
groove to take on non-confer-
ence, RPI-boosting opponents.
At this point in time, weve
got our RPI right around the top
40 in the county, coach Ritch
Price said. Those midweek
games are the reason we keep
moving up.
Although the frequent breaks
in Big 12 action have hardly
bothered the Jayhawks
theyve only lost one midweek
game this season the Best of
the Midwest plays out different-
ly than the normal schedule.
Its a tough week for us be-
cause of the 3 oclock games in
the afternoon, which makes it
tough on the kids academically,
Price said.

tance to maintaining their high

Just a few inches to the right.
That was all Holly Gault would
have needed to give the Jayhawks
the lead against the Blue Valley Stars
U-15 Boys team Monday night.
With less than 10 minutes left in
the frst half, Gault, who had just
burned a Stars defender, received
a pass from freshman Sara Rog-
ers. Rogers pass bounced over the
defenders head, right in front of the
streaking Gault, who had only the
goalkeeper to beat. The junior col-
lected the ball and dribbled next to
the Stars goalkeeper, who altered
Gaults shot just enough to prevent
Kansas from scoring.
Unfortunately for the Jayhawks, it
was the closest they would come to
scoring throughout the rest of the 2-
0 loss. In the second half, the Stars
dominated possession of the ball,
but Kansas defense did enough to
keep their opponent from attacking
the net for most of the game.
It was at the 11 minute mark that
the Stars were fnally able to put one
between the posts. Stars forward
Kevin Madden scored easily in the
center of the net while goalkeeper
Julie Hanley was covering the Stars
player who fed Madden the ball.
Seven minutes later, the Stars
scored another goal, in a game that
Kansas coach Mark Francis said was
not the teams best.
We didnt play very good, Fran-
cis said. This was not a great way to
end the season.
Although Kansas may have played
less than par in their last two matches,
which were both against U-15 boys
teams, Francis said he was pleased
with its effort as a whole this spring.
Overall, the seasons been good.
The girls have worked really hard,
and made strides on the feld, Fran-
cis said. Our team defense is better,
and offensively everyone is on the
same page.
Francis said the Jayhawks best
performances were against Yale and
the Canadian National Team.
Against Yale, Kansas had its best
offensive output of the season, win-
ning 7-2. Led by Gaults fve goals
and two more from junior Lacey No-
vak, the Jayhawks defeated a Yale
team that had reached the NCAA
Sweet 16 during the fall season.
Hanley was the star of the show
against Canada, when Kansas held
the Canadians scoreless for nearly the
entire game before falling 1-0. Hanley
stopped a Canadian offense that was
attacking for most of the game before
allowing a goal on a penalty kick.
The Jayhawks played Canada closer
than any other team on the Canadi-
ans college exhibition tour.
With its season over, Kansas will
have four months off before it will be
allowed to practice again for the regu-
lar season in the fall. For the upcom-
ing season, the Jayhawks will welcome
six freshman and will have a tentative
schedule that will include tourna-
ments in California and Alabama.

The Jayhawks went 4-1 last
week and retained the fourth
spot in the Big 12 standings.
Kansas outscored its opponents
in its frst four games of the
week, 46-18, before a one-run
loss to Kansas State on Sunday.
With its series victory against
Kansas State, Kansas won its
third Big 12 series of the season,
matching its total from last sea-
son.
Clutch hitting by sophomore
outfelder John Allman and
sophomore third baseman Erik
Morrison along with a gutsy
pitching performance by senior
right-hander Ricky Fairchild
helped Kansas clinch the Kan-
sas State series after just two
games.
On Friday, Allman led the
Kansas offense, going 3-for-4,
with two runs and two RBI. He
came a home run shy of hitting
for the cycle in the 8-5 victory.
On Saturday, Fairchild over-
came tightness in his hamstring
in the second inning to go six in-
nings and earn his frst victory
since March 5. Morrison drove
in most of Kansas runs in the 5-
2 victory. He went 3-for-4 with
three RBI.
The Jayhawks out-hit the
Wildcats 12-8 on Sunday, but
beat themselves with four errors
in the feld and lost 5-4.
This week, Kansas will face
Southeast Missouri State and
Creighton in the Best of the
Midwest Tournament at Com-
munityAmerica Ballpark in
Kansas City, Kan., on Tuesday
and Wednesday.
This weekend, Kansas will
play host to No. 14 Oklahoma
in a three-game set at Hoglund
Ballpark. Kansas lost the series
last season in Norman, Okla.,
two games to one, but could
gain some ground on third-
place Oklahoma in the Big 12
standings with a series victory
this year.

Americas pasttime
losing favor with fans
WASHINGTON More than
half of Americas baseball fans
say the sport has not done
enough to curb the use of ste-
roids and other performance-
enhancing drugs, an AP-AOL
Sports poll found.
And two-thirds of baseball
fans either have unfavorable
or mixed views about Barry
Bonds, who is under a cloud of
suspicion about steroids use
as he chases baseballs career
record for home runs.
The poll found that 53
percent say Major League
Baseball has fallen short on
keeping the sport drug-free.
Many fans say Bonds
should not be allowed into
baseballs Hall of Fame if hes
found to have used steroids.
But the timing of any alleged
use appears to be crucial in
public support for Bonds get-
ting into the Hall.

The womens relay teams more
specifcally the womens distance
medley team and the womens
4x100-meter team, took home vic-
tories at the Kansas Relays in their
respective events.
The women have been impres-
sive this weekend, Kansas track
and feld coach Stanley Redwine
said.
The womens 4x100-meter relay
team was victorious with a time of
45.73 seconds in its effort Saturday.
The event was part of Gold Zone
II.
The team consisted of freshman
Victoria Howard, sophomore Crys-
tal Manning and seniors Charisse
Bacchus and Tiffany Cherry.
I think our times were good,
Manning said.
The team pulled out a close
victory in one of the better races
throughout the day.
Everybody worked up to their
ability and God helped us through
it, Manning said.
If it wasnt for the crowd, our
times would not have been as fast,
and we may not have even won,
Manning said.
Bacchus alsotookpart inthewom-
ens long jump. She placed second
with a leap of 20 feet, 1/2 inches.
The womens distance medley
team was also victorious on Friday.
In fact, it wasnt even close.
The squad beat the feld by 15
seconds, winning with a time of
12:04.96.
Sophomore Cortney Jacobs, junior
Melissa ORourke andseniors Angela
Pichardo and Dena Seibel ran on the
womens distance medley team.
I thought we did pretty decent
with our times, Pichardo said.
Our goal was to come out here to
win and we did that.
Pichardo said she wanted to em-
phasize how important winning the
event was for the team.
We won it last year and we were
trying to come out and repeat as
champions, she said.

Hurdles tight to finish

As Ladji Doucoure made his way off
the track after winning the 110-meter
mens invitational hurdles race, he was
at a loss for both words and breath.
A great race, Doucoure said as he
took a deep breath and began to cool
off.
The events participants were not the
only ones left gasping for air after the
race. The top three runners fnished
within mere inches of one another, giv-
ing the 26,000-plus fans in attendance a
reason to hold their breath.
Doucoure, a former Olympic com-
petitor and 2005 World Champion in
the 110-meter hurdles, fnishedthe event
in 13.53 seconds to capture the title for
TeamNike.
Doucoure blasted out of the gate and
showedremarkable staying power, never
surrendering his lead.
David Payne and Team Nikes Joel
Brown nearly matched Doucoure pace-
for-pace down the length of the track,
but came up just short, fnishing sec-
ond and third with times of 13.577 and
13.580 seconds, respectively.
Julius Jiles, Kansas City sophomore,
was the only current Jayhawk to compete
intheevent. Jiles didnot get off toastrong
start, and was never able to catch up with
the more seasoned members of the feld.
My start wasnt the best in the world,
but I started to close in the end, Jiles
said. Overall, it wasnt a bad race.
Jiles fnished in fourth place with a
time of 14.23 seconds, just a bit slower
than his best performance of 2006 at last
months Tulsa Duels.
Former Kansas runner Anson Jack-
son brought up the rear and came dan-
gerously close to knocking down the
hurdles on several occasions. Jackson,
who last ran as a Jayhawk in 2003, man-
aged to fnish in 14.48 seconds.
Both Jackson and David Payne com-
peted unattached to any particular spon-
sor. Kansas senior AaronThompsonwas
slated to run in the event, but instead
participated in the college-only 110-me-
ter hurdles race.
The French-born Doucoure was one
of the biggest stars to participate in this
years Kansas Relays. At the 2004 Olym-
pics, Doucoure fnished eighth in the
110-meter hurdles.
The signifcance of being able to com-
pete against such stellar runners was not
lost on Jiles, who said he was honored to
be participating in the Kansas Relays.
The atmosphere is great here, Jiles
said. Its defnitely one of the best meets
Ive been to in a long time.

Locals shine
in Gold Zone
3 qualify for regionals
By ashEr fusco
afusco@kansan.com
kansan sportswriter
Plenty of action took place in
the Gold Zone II on Saturday,
from the pole vault to the discus
throw. Some
of the biggest
names from
the track and
feld world
c onv e r g e d
on Lawrence
to take part
in the after-
noon- l ong
showcase.
Some of
the most ex-
citing performances of the day
came not from world-renowned
sprinters, but from homegrown
middle-distance runners.
The mens invitational mile
run featured six competitors
from in-state colleges, with
four Jayhawks among them.
Although none of the runners
could top Jim Ryuns famed
Kansas Relays record of 3:54,
three athletes qualifed for the
Divison-1 Regional meet. The
qualifying time is 4:06.
Cowley Countys Daniel
Maina won the race, but was
trailed closely by an eager pack
of runners that included all four
Jayhawk participants. Kansas
sophomore Colby Wissel fn-
ished third in 4:05, just in front
of Jayhawk seniors Cameron
Schwehr and Joshy Madathil
followed by sophomore Paul
Hefferon. Wissel was the only
Jayhawk to qualify for the re-
gional meet.
The race was close until the
end, and most of the runners
were bunched tightly together
for the duration of the con-
test. The competition was so
tight that unaffiliated runners
Ben Houltberg and Chris Mul-
vaney were forced off of the
track, resulting in disqualifi-
cations.
The Jayhawks didnt appear
fazed by the magnitude of the
Gold Zone II, and were just
grateful to be a part of such a
respected event.
Its tough that I couldnt win,
but having great competition
like this, you really cant com-
plain at all, Schwehr said of his
fnal race in the relays.
Wissel said he was just as
proud of his school and team-
mates as he was his record-
breaking time.
Its just a lot of fun out
here in your hometown with
your teammates, competing in
front of a home crowd, Wis-
sel said.

Sophomore Julius Jiles leaves the blocks at the start of the mens invitational 400-meter hurdles Saturday afternoon at Memorial Stadium. Jiles

Battle disappointed with fnishes
By Evan KafaraKis
ekafarakis@kansan.com
kansan sportswriter
Outside of Memorial Stadium, Shel-
don Battle struggled for his best
performance against some of the
countrys best athletes.
Competing in the shot put and
discus throw, the senior thrower
skipped competing in the hammer
to focus his attention on those two
events.
The shot put event was a part of
Gold Zone II on Saturday. Battle
competed in the throwing event.
He had a tough time keeping up
initially.
He competed against Christian
Cantwell, who was No. 5 in the
World Championships in 2005
at the shot put, and Dan Taylor,
who placed sixth at the Olympic
trials.
Battle fnished third at 63 feet,
10 and 1/2 inches. This result was
more than six feet short of Cantwell,
who won the event.
Battles personal best in the shot
put is 68 feet, 8 and 1/2 inches.
I was a little disappointed with
my distances, Battle said.
Battle put the blame on tech-
nique, a key element of shot put.
Cantwell had the technique on
Saturday.
His frst-place throw of 70 feet, 3
and 3/4 inches was a Kansas Relays
record and the best throw in the
world this year.
If you dont get into a good
rhythm with your throws, it doesnt
matter how strong you are,
Cantwell said.
Cantwell said Battle was better
than he showed on Saturday and
just needed to keep training clean-
ly.
Battle next took the field to
throw in the mens college dis-
cus.
Battle took frst place with a
toss of 179 feet, 2 inches, but still
seemed unhappy with his distanc-
es.
I just got to work on my tech-
nique and progress, Battle said.
Battles personal best in the dis-
cus is 188 feet, 10 inches.
It will come, Battle said. Just
have to be patient and keep work-
ing hard.
Along with Battle on the winners
podium at second place stood ju-
nior Cody Roberts.
Roberts second-place throw
traveled a distance of 171 feet, 8
inches.

Big 12 teams find friendship
By BEtty Kaspar
bkaspar@kansan.com
kansan sportswriter
At the Kansas Relays, competition
between the women discus throw-
ers of the Big 12 Conference was a
little different. There was more ca-
maraderie than in most competitive
sports.
When you see each other dur-
ing every meet, you become friends,
Kansas freshman Stephanie Horton
said. When you are going somewhere
where you dont know anyone, its
nice to have people to talk to.
During the competition, athletes
from Big 12 schools Kansas State,
Nebraska and others cheered for one
another.
Horton competed in the discus
along with junior Abby Emsick and
senior Denita Young.
In the frst fight, Youngs frst two
throws were foul. However, for her
third throw, she made some adjust-
ments and threw the discus 44.03 me-
ters, which was good enough to pro-
pel her into the fnals. Young credited
a position move for her success.
I scooted over. I am a javelin
thrower and I go straight instead of
spinning, so my coach is trying to get
me to spin, Young said.
Emsicks best throw was 41.25
meters and Hortons best throw was
41.90 meters. Neither of the ath-
letes were pleased with their perfor-
mance.
Denita did real well; she is a jav-
elin thrower and she competed in the
discus for the team the frst time this
year. Kansas assistant coach Andy
Kokhanovsky said. Our other girls
did not compete up to their poten-
tial.
Kokhanovsky said the problems
were tactical, not physical. The throw-
ers were ready to compete, he said,
but they just did not do well.
For the finals, the qualifying
distance was 43.70 meters. Sand-
wiched between two foul throws,
Youngs second throw was 43.42
meters. It was enough to finish in
ninth place.
It was okay, it is something to get
my mind off javelin, I just come out
and enjoy it, Young said.
Junior Dace Ruskule of Nebraska
won the event with a throw of 56.97
meters. Missouri Baptists sophomore
Sheruelle Nicholls followed with
49.26 meters.

Women capture 4x100 relay victory
By casE KEEfEr

Race records were shattered
as a plethora of Jayhawk fans
watched from the stands of Me-
morial Stadium on Saturday
afternoon for the Gold Zone II
portion of the 2006 Kansas Re-
lays.
Jeremy Mims was a member
of the Kansas Track & Field
team until last year. During his
track and feld career, Mims was
awarded with numerous medals
and accolades.
The most memorable of these
was being a part of last years
All-American Team.
He ran the 800-meter run as
a member of Team Nike at this
years Relays.
As a sophomore, Julius Jiles
drew much praise and hype dur-
ing the weekend from fans and
fellow athletes. Jiles, who was
named athlete of the meet at last
years Relays, competed in the
400-meter hurdles this year.
Mims ran an exceptional
race in the 800-meter to fnish
third, just behind two runners
who broke the previous Relays
record. Mims Nike teammate,
Kevin Hicks, won the race in a
record time of 1:47:58.
The race broke evenly with
about seven of ten runners to-
gether at the frst turn. That was
until Mims, Hicks and Brandon
Hodges broke out of the pack to
establish themselves as the top
three runners in the race.
Mims stayed in second place
position until the fnal 100 me-
ters of the race, when Kansas
States Christian Smith rock-
eted from the back to take the
silver.
Smith also broke the previous
Relays 800-meter record by .31
seconds with a time of 1:47:91.
Any other year, the time would
have easily won the race. But
in 2006, the harsh competition
only yielded him second place,
is a position Smith has become
accustomed to.
Ive been coming to the Kan-
sas Relays since high school and
Ive come in second four times.
Id like to win one eventually.
Smith said.
Mims said he was pleased with
his performance, but wished he
could have won the race.
I really wanted to get a vic-
tory for my fans and friends out
here. In the years to come, Ill be
better prepared, he said.
Hicks led the entire race,
and was not the only run-
ner that made his respective
race at the Relays look easy.
Bershawn Jackson, the U.S.
Champion in the 400-meter
hurdles, destroyed the feld on
the way to breaking his own
Relay record.
It was a perfect race, exactly
how me and my coach planned
it, Jackson said. Jackson ran a
48.34 which beat his 2005 Re-
lays record of 48.67.
Jiles sped out of his stance to
a great start in the Jackson dom-
inated race but slowed down
once he reached the hurdles.
Jiles fnished in 8th place with
a time of 52.81. He was happy
with his time and overwhelmed
with the fan support.
When you hear that crowd
yelling and hollering, it gives
you an extreme boost to cross
that fnish line a little faster.
Jiles said.

would not have his players take batting practice
before the game due to the amount of class time
the extra practice would cause them to miss.
Each of Kansas games were at 3 p.m., todays
early game and Wednesdays second match-up.
Last year, the Jayhawks fared well in the inde-
pendent minor league ballpark, packing 24 runs
on the board in just two games against New Mex-
ico State and Sacramento State.
This years tournament will bring out six teams,
including Kansas. Kansas State and Missouri from
the Big 12, while Southeast Missouri from the
Ohio Valley Conference and Missouri State and
Creighton both from the Missouri Valley round
out the rest of the teams.
Kansas
Because of its overall record, Kansas is in sole
possession of the fourth spot in the Big 12 for the
second consecutive week. At the plate, the Jay-
hawks are reaching their stride, hitting .291 as a
team with 51 round trips to show for it. Senior
outfelder Gus Milner had a particularly explosive
weekend, notching a .400 average at the plate,
scoring three times and driving in a pair.
On the mound, junior right-hander Brendan
McNamara (1-1, 3.26) is slated to throw tonights
game after his midweek victory last week against
North Dakota State.
Fresh off another Big 12 series victory, Kansas
took care of business against K-State with ease be-
fore dropping the third on Sunday. The opportu-
nity for its frst Big 12 series sweep of the year was
plagued with a season-high four errors.
Southeast Missouri (15-22, 6-9 OVC)
The Redhawks hit a worse patch of luck last
weekend, falling one game to two against Austin
Peay. Southeast Missouri currently ranks ninth
out of the 10 Ohio Valley Conference teams.
Junior second baseman Omar Padilla pulled his
weight in the series defeat, hitting 6-12 with a pair
of runs scored against Austin Peay.
On the mound, the Redhawks will start se-
nior lefty Derek Herbig (2-2, 5.45) this afternoon
against the Jayhawks.
Creighton (22-14, 7-8)
This was to be the second meeting between
Kansas and Creighton this season before the
Mar. 22 game was canceled because of inclement
weather and never rescheduled.
The Bluejays, of the Missouri Valley Confer-
ence, also just dropped a series one game to two
last weekend against to Evansville. Last week,
Creighton also fell off the Baseball America poll,
even though the team lost to No. 4 Nebraska 4-2
April 18. Senior catcher Zach Degas led the way
against Evansville. Even though his efforts came up
short, Degas still went 4-10 and scored fve times
that weekend. He leads the overall offense as well
with nine home runs and 37 RBI. Creighton hasnt
announced its starting pitcher for Wednesdays
game, but a catching connection associated with
Creighton will soon beneft Kansas.
Joe Servais, son of Creighton Coach Ed Servais,
has already signed to catch for Kansas next year
after fnishing his eligibility at Garden City Com-
munity College in the spring.

Tournament to
begin Thursday
By Antonio MendozA
amendoza@kansan.com
kansan sportswriter
The Kansas tennis team holds
the No. 8 spot going into the Big
12 Tournament.
The Jayhawks will face the No.
9-seeded Colorado Buffaloes in
the frst round of the tournament
on Thursday in Waco, Texas. The
match is scheduled for 6 p.m.
We have nothing to lose and
were going to go in there and
do the best we can, sophomore
Stephanie Smith said.
Kansas has faced Colorado this
season already, in Boulder, Colo.
Kansas was down 3-2 in that match
with only two singles matches left
to be played. The Jayhawks over-
came the defcit and rallied back
to win the match, 4-3.
The Jayhawks fnished the regu-
lar season with a record of 13-10.
They were 4-7 in Big 12 competi-
tion. Colorado fnished the season
with a record of 10-9. It was also
4-7 in Big 12 play.
Were exited to play Colo-
rado again we had a good
match with them a couple of
weeks ago so we are exited to
play them again, Smith said. I
think if we win that we play Bay-
lor, and that can only be positive
for us, so were only looking at
the tournament with a positive
attitude right now.
Smith was right. If Kansas were
to defeat Colorado in the frst-
round match, it would advance
to the second round and face No.
5 Baylor, which has a frst-round
bye. The Bears also hold the No.
1 spot in the Big 12 Tournament.
Kansas will come into the
tournament losing two consecu-
tive matches, and three out of its
last four. Kansas fnished the reg-
ular season last weekend in Aus-
tin and College Station, Texas.
Kansas lost to Texas and Texas
A&M last weekend, by the score
of 6-1 in both matches.
The only Kansas points came
from the singles matches. Senior
Christine Skoda won her singles
match against Texas, and fresh-
man Edina Horvath won her sin-
gles match against Texas A&M.
It was a tough crowd at Texas
A&M, but it was a fun atmo-
sphere to play in, sophomore
Lauren Hommell said. Every po-
sition battled, but we just didnt
come away with any wins.
Hommell lost her match
against Texas by the score of 6-1,
6-1 on Sunday. She lost her sin-
gles match against Texas A&M by
the score of 6-3, 6-4 on Saturday.

Attorney asks for records to attack victims credibility
By AAron BeArd
the associated press
DURHAM, N.C. The attorney
for one of two Duke lacrosse play-
ers charged with raping a stripper
demanded on Monday that prosecu-
tors turn over the accusers medical,
legal and education records for use
in attacking her credibility.
Kirk Osborn, who represents
player Reade Seligmann, said the
material will provide rich sources
of information for impeaching the
complaining witnesses.
Osborn also asked a judge to hold
a pretrial hearing to determine if
the complaining witness is even
credible enough to provide reliable
testimony.
This request is based on the fact
that the complaining witness has a
history of criminal activity and be-
havior, which includes alcohol abuse,
drug abuse, and dishonesty, all con-
duct which indicate mental, emotion-
al and/or physical problems, which
affect her credibility as a witness, the
defense said in court papers.
District Attorney Mike Nifong,
who has not granted an interview
about the case in weeks, refused to
comment.
Last week, Seligmann, of Essex
Fells, N.J., was indicted on rape
charges along with teammate Collin
Finnerty of Garden City, N.Y.
Authorities believe they were two
of the three white men who the 27-
year-old black woman says raped her
in a bathroom of a house March 13.
In Mondays motions, Osborn
wrote that no forensic evidence links
Seligmann to the alleged crimes,
based on the limited information
provided to the defense by prosecu-
tors. The case is based only on the
accusers testimony, and she has giv-
en conficting accounts to authori-
ties, Osborn wrote.
The defense motions asked for in-
formation about the accusers mental
health, any hospital commitments
and drug abuse, and information
about her probation and parole.
The motions do not cite any specifc
evidence to support its claims about the
accuser, and Osborn declined to answer
questions about the court flings.
Defense attorneys have trumpeted
DNA test results they say found no
link between the 46 players tested
and the accuser. Nifong asked a pri-
vate lab to perform additional tests
on the samples. The results are not
expected before May 15, Nifong told
a Durham newspaper last weekend.
Mondays motions were the lat-
est sign the defense plans to attack
the credibility of the accuser, a 27-
year-old single mother and student
at nearby North Carolina Central
University.
T
he defense motions asked
for information about the
accusers mental health, any
hospital commitments and
drug abuse, and informa-
tion about her probation and
parole
