For the second time in less than
three months, Leigh McHatton sat
before a panel of jurors Tuesday and
described the deadly fire that left her
with severe burns all over her body.
It was just kind of chaos. People
running around, not knowing what
to do. Everyone was just in shock,
McHatton said of the Boardwalk
Apartments fire in October 2005
that left three dead. I was just in
total shock. I kept saying, Oh my
God, oh my God.
McHatton, who was a University
of Kansas student at the time of the
fire, has since graduated and now
lives in Denver. She was the first
survivor to testify in the murder
and arson trial of Jason Allen Rose,
who is accused of starting the fire.
Roses initial trial was declared a
mistrial after the prosecution moved
to admit a late
witness.
Also testi-
fying Tuesday
was the first
officer to arrive
on the scene
and two Haskell
University stu-
dents who wit-
nessed the fire
from a friends
apartment across
the street.
During opening statements, assis-
tant district attorney David Melton
explained to jurors what they would
see and hear during the trial. He told
them they would watch video of the
fire, see pictures of the aftermath
and hear from
people who lost
their homes,
their belongings
and even some
pets.
Before any
witnesses were
p r e s e n t e d ,
Melton showed
pictures of
Yolanda Riddle,
Jose Gonzalez
and Nicole Bingham, the three resi-
dents who died in the blaze.
There are three witnesses you
wont get to meet, because they didnt
make it, Melton said.
Melton told the jury they would
have to answer two questions.
Was the Boardwalk fire intention-
ally set? And did Jason Rose do it?
Melton said. The answers in Jason
Roses statement will answer those
questions, and the answer will be Yes.
Rose admitted to starting the fire
when he was questioned on police
video after the fire. The video, which
will be shown later in the trial, spans
several hours. Roses defense attor-
ney, Ron Evans, asked the jury to be
mindful of the circumstances of the
statement when he responded with his
opening statement.

Chancellor Robert Hemenway takes a break from his work to have his picture taken with the

By AShlEE kiElEr
Stewie Griffin, the youngest fam-
ily member on the Family Guy, has
been making the rounds on campus.
Stewie arrived in the University
Relations office the first week of
April addressed to Jason Boots,
Plano, Texas, senior and student
body president.
Inside the lightweight, refrigera-
tor-sized box, Boots found a large
Stewie doll.
Stewie came to the University as
part of the Pass the Stewie pro-
motion from Fox Broadcasting
Company. The nations top 100
schools received the 3-foot plush
doll.
Boots said the
arrival of Stewie

Graduate students make fnal touches on custom-built home
By NAthAN Gill
Architecture students at the
University of Kansas are hammer-
ing and drilling quickly to finish
their custom-built house, complete
with moveable walls and pulver-
ized newspaper insulation, before
graduation.
The project, located near cen-
tral Kansas City, Kan., is the lat-
est creation of Studio 804 Inc., an
independent, nonprofit organiza-
tion consisting of a graduate class
within the School of Architecture
and Urban Design.
Zack Cole, Joplin, Mo., graduate
student, said the house was designed
and built in Lawrence. He said the
prefabricated house, constructed in
seven square modules, was then
transported to its final location near
the KU Medical Center in Rosedale,
a historic, urban neighborhood
undergoing revitalization.
Cole said the 1,500 square-foot
structure could have one to three
bedrooms, depending on how own-
ers positioned its large, rolling cabi-
nets, which serve as room dividers
and storage devices. The houses
cabinets, bamboo flooring, recycled
paperstone countertops and plenty
of skylights and windows are just
some of its modern features.
A lot of it has to do with saving
space, Cole said. Id like to see it as
a definite add to the community.
Wendy Wilson, director of the
Rosedale Development Association,
which seeks to revitalize and pre-
serve the Rosedale community, said
she thought most Rosedale resi-
dents approved of the odd, shoe-
box-shaped structure.

Amidst a dramatic protest and
opposition from locals the city
agreed to the submission of a new
development plan for a Wal-Mart
store at the northwest corner of
Sixth Street and Wakarusa Drive on
Tuesday night.
The commissions discussion of
the development included participa-
tion by more than 20 members of the
public and a theatrical demonstra-
tion by opponents.
Mayor Sue Hack said the com-
mission expected a new plan.
It is our assumption and our
hope that an additional plan would
be submitted, she said.
Angie Stoner, Wal-Mart spokes-
person, said Wal-Mart had not yet
decided whether to submit a new
plan for a development at Sixth and
Wakarusa, but that a decision would
be made in a matter of days.
The commission held the discus-
sion after agreeing to a delay in a law-
suit that Wal-Mart had filed against
the city for denying its development
plans. The commission denied Wal-
Marts last plans in October 2006
by a 3-2 vote. Since then, new com-
missioners Rob Chestnut and Mike
Dever have replaced two of the com-
missioners who voted against that
proposal.

Stephanie Altoro
By Hali Baker
From serving as a student sena-
tor to overseeing Tea Time every
Thursday at the Kansas Union,
Stephanie Altoro, Bronx, New York,
sophomore, has done her share for
the University of Kansas. She cur-
rently serves as the cultural arts coor-
dinator for Student Union Activities
and next year she will take on the
role of live music coordinator.
I love planning events and put-
ting together events, Altoro said.
Altoro joined SUA at the end of
her freshman year after seeing a
sign in Templin Hall advertising an
open position for cultural arts coor-
dinator. She was already involved
with Student Senate, but she thought
the SUA opportunity sounded like
fun. Altoro applied, went through an
interview and has been in love with
her position ever since. The job has
influenced Altoro so much that she
has decided to switch from being a
business major to journalism and
communications.
Its probably the most valuable
position, Altoro said. I have a job
and have to go to school, so it has
forced me to become an adult.
The amount of responsibil-
ity associated with her job is tre-
mendous, and the scholarship she
receives from SUA doesnt begin to
compensate for the time Altoro puts
in. Just this year, she has had to orga-
nize Hip-Hop Week, Project Runway
at the Kansas Union and poetry
slams. She has also helped with Day
on the Hill.
I like being able to be behind the
scenes and be the spokesperson for
events. It is really cool, she said.
Altoro is already starting to think
about this coming fall and shes in
the process of finding well-known
bands to come to the University.
Everyone in SUA tells me I dream
too big, but I dont let that stop me,
Altoro said.

During the afternoon session of
Tuesdays hearings, the prosecu-
tion called on Andrew Dobson,
who lived across the street from
the burned building. Dobson shot
a nine-minute video of the fire,
which was shown in court Tuesday.
Dobson, a New Zealand native,
testified that before shooting the
video, he had tried to call police. A
cultural difference the emergency
number in New Zealand is 1-1-1
instead of 9-1-1 kept Dobson from
connecting with emergency dispatch,
so he said he picked up his newly
purchased video camera instead.
The tape showed the middle portion
of the Boardwalk building engulfed in
flames, as well as fire trucks responding
to the scene. Dobsons voice comment-
ed on the response time on the video.
They were very slow getting
here, he said, almost two minutes
after the camera began taping.
Judge Jack A. Murphy adjourned
the court just after 4 p.m. Tuesday
and said it would reconvene at 9
a.m. Wednesday. The trial is expect-
ed to last up to two weeks.

I think the community is open

of the house, the third structure
the studio has brought to the area.
Its not a cookie-cutter neighbor-
hood where everything looks the
same.
But not everyone has been
open to the studios novel homes,
Cole said. Jeff Fendorf, vice pres-
ident of operations and commu-
nity development for El Centro,
a Kansas City social organization
that helped finance the project,
said the studio had problems
finding a place for last years
house.
Fendorf said last years site,
in Westheight, another historic
neighborhood near Rosedale,
had to be moved because of
objections from the community
and the Kansas State Historical
Society. He said El Centro
bought this years site directly
from the Rosedale Development
Association, which knew what it
was getting into.
We wanted to support the
neighborhood it was going to go
in, Fendorf said.
Cole said, Its kind of a risk,
because its so different. Part of the
success is having a buyer.
Fendorf said El Centro was man-
aging the sale of the house, and said
they were looking for buyers. He
said the final price for the house
had not been set, but said it would
be around $200,000 and that the
profits would be split between the
studio and El Centro.
Theres a pretty good demand
for these things, Fendorf said.
People like the houses.

spoke against the Wal-Mart propos-
al. But Scott Henderson, a former
zoning appeals board member, said
his board had been unfair in denying
Wal-Mart a building permit. He said
he wanted the city to settle the law-
suit with Wal-Mart and move on to
avoid the cost of further legal fees.
Youre wasting our money,
Henderson said. Those tax dollars
could go to a lot of different issues.
Opponents of the Wal-Mart
proposal raised concerns about
Lawrences retail supply outstripping
its retail demand, big box nation-
al chains taking money away from
locally owned businesses, and the
possible creation of traffic problems
that could be compounded by inex-
perienced teenage drivers coming
from nearby Free State High School,
also near Sixth and Wakarusa.
Kirk McClure, professor of urban
planning, spoke about a study he had
conducted about Lawrences retail
market.
McClure said that the citys retail
supply had grown at more than three
times the rate of the citys demand
since 1995.
We need to come to fairly clear
decisions about whether or not the
market can absorb the space that is
being built, he said.
An unusual demonstration
took place while Richard Heckler,
Lawrence resident, spoke to the
commission about his view that
Wal-Mart and other big box retail-
ers did not attract money to the citys
economy.
Several attendees wearing T-shirts
with phrases like locally owned
hardware store stood up and began
passing around oversized dollar bills.
Meanwhile, a woman wearing a
hat, sunglasses and a sign that said
Uncle Sam Walton referring to
the founder of Wal-Mart walked
around the commission room,
snatching the bills from the people
representing the locally owned
businesses and stuffing the bills into
a plastic bag.
This prompted Hack to ask the
woman to sit down because of the
noise she was creating.

teacher cleared of forcing
student to urinate in class
SACRAMENTO, Calif. School
ofcials on Tuesday cleared a
science teacher who was accused
of forcing a 14-year-old boy to
urinate into a bottle during class,
saying the eighth grader acted on
his own.
The district cited rules that
instruct teachers not to let students
out of class during the frst and last
10 minutes of a period. Goethe
Middle School teacher Peter Stanzler
told the boy, Michael Patterson, to
wait until the class had settled down
before going to the bathroom, the
district said in a statement.
Less than fve minutes into the
class period, the student urinated
into a bottle and discarded it in
a trash can, the statement said.
Shocked at the students actions,
the teacher told the student to dis-
pose of the bottle in the restroom
and wash his hands.
The student claims he repeatedly
asked to use the bathroom and was
told to relieve himself into a bottle
about 20 to 30 minutes into the
period. He said the teacher threat-
ened him with suspension if he left
the classroom, although the district
disputed that in its statement.
Principal Harriet Young on Mon-
day suspended Michael until May 8
for disrupting school activities. The
district has placed teacher Peter
Stanzler on paid leave and trans-
ferred him to another school.
If this case is so cut and dry,
why is the teacher being disci-
plined? said Michaels mother,
Kelly Jacko.

BARCELONA Venezuela
President Hugo Chavezs government
took over Venezuelas last privately
run oil fields Tuesday, intensifying
a power struggle with international
companies over the worlds largest
known petroleum deposit.
Oil Minister Rafael Ramirez
declared that the fields had reverted
to state control just after midnight.
State television showed cheering
workers in hard hats raising the flags
of Venezuela and the national oil
company over a refinery and four
drilling fields in the Orinoco River
basin.
Chavez, a strident critic of the
U.S. and a leader of the leftist move-
ment in Latin America, traveled to
the refinery for a ceremony with
red-clad oil workers on May Day,
the international workers holiday.
The military planned a fly-over by
Russian-made fighter jets.
While the state takeover had been
planned for some time, BP PLC,
ConocoPhillips, Exxon Mobil Corp.,
Chevron Corp., Frances Total SA
and Norways Statoil ASA remain
locked in a struggle with the Chavez
government over the terms and con-
ditions under which they will be
allowed to stay on as minority part-
ners.
All but ConocoPhillips signed
agreements last week agreeing
in principle to state control, and
ConocoPhillips said Tuesday that it
too was cooperating.
Analysts say the companies have
leverage because Venezuelas state
oil company, Petroleos de Venezuela
SA, cannot transform the Orinocos
tar-like crude into marketable oil
without their investment and expe-
rience.
Theyre hoping ... that as time
passes Chavez will realize he needs
them more than they need him,
said Michael Lynch, an analyst at
Winchester, Massachusetts-based
Strategic Energy and Economic
Research. He predicted most oil
companies with the possible
exception of Exxon Mobil would
stay.
Multinationals pumping oil else-
where in Venezuela, one of the lead-
ing suppliers of oil to the United
States, submitted to state-controlled
joint ventures last year because they
were reluctant to abandon the profit-
able operations.
Chavez says the state is taking a
minimum 60-percent stake in the
Orinoco operations, but he is urging
foreign companies to stay and help
develop the fields. They have until
June 26 to negotiate the terms.
An enormous Venezuelan flag
was hung between two cranes at
the refinery, and smaller flags flew
from lamp posts. Red balloons were
attached to power lines.
The oil companies, mean-
while, still needed convincing that
Venezuela will be a good place to do
business.
Chevrons future in Venezuela
will very much be dependent on
how were treated in the current
negotiation, said David OReilly,
chief executive of the San Ramon,
California-based company. That
process is going to have a direct
impact on our appetite going for-
ward.
BP, Exxon Mobil and
ConocoPhillips
all say theyre
negotiating with
Venezuela to
determine own-
ership and com-
pensation for
their operations.
Jim Mulva,
chairman and
chief executive of
ConocoPhillips,
which has two
projects in the
oil-rich Orinoco
River region and
another offshore, has said he expects
discussions to be completed by late
June.
ConocoPhillips Venezuelan oper-
ations account for roughly 4 percent
of its daily worldwide production.
ConocoPhillips has cooperated
with the established transitional
committees to ensure a safe, orderly
transfer of operations, the company
said in a statement Tuesday.
It added, While discussions
between ConocoPhillips and the
Venezuelan government are ongoing,
agreements have not been reached
with respect to ConocoPhillips
future participation in these projects
or the compensation the company
will receive.
BP spokesman David Nicholas
said the London-based company
also was negotiating compensa-
tion for its 16.7 percent stake in the
Cerro Negro heavy oil project in the
Orinoco belt. The majority of that
project is owned by Exxon Mobil
and PDVSA.
In a conference call with analysts
last week after reporting first-quar-
ter earnings, Henry Hubble, Exxon
Mobils vice president of investor
relations, said the company expected
negotiations to continue for some
time. Hubble declined to speculate
whether Exxon Mobil would contin-
ue to do business in Venezuela after
such discussions are finished.
The stakes are high for both sides
as Venezuela stands to surpass Saudi
Arabia as the nation with the most
reserves. If the big oil companies
were to leave, Chavez says state firms
from China, India and elsewhere can
step in, but industry experts doubt
they are qualified.
Chavez is going to discover that
nationalism is one thing, but money
talks, Lynch said. And I dont think
hes going to be
able to get more
money out of
the Orinoco or
the foreign oil
companies with-
out being a lot
nicer to them.
Pulling out
would be dam-
aging for the
companies. They
have invested
more than $17
billion in the
projects, now
estimated to be worth $30 billion.
Venezuela has indicated it is inclined
to pay the lesser amount for tak-
ing over control with partial
payment in oil and, some experts
suspect, tax forgiveness. Venezuela
may still prove enticing because
three-quarters of the worlds proven
reserves are already controlled by
state monopolies.
Chavez is also nationalizing elec-
tricity companies and the countrys
biggest telecommunications compa-
ny, and has threatened to take over
private hospitals if they continue
raising prices for care.
The campaign has brought popu-
larity for Chavez, who takes to the
airwaves almost daily, delivering
tirades against the rich, the news
media, capitalism in general and his
archenemy, the U.S. government.

BP chief executive resigns
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON BP PLCs Chief
Executive John Browne resigned
Tuesday, hours after a judge allowed
a newspaper to publish allega-
tions from a former boyfriend that
the executive misused company
resources.
Browne, who had already
moved up his departure by more
than a year after a deadly refinery
blast in Texas and a giant oil spill
in Alaska, denied any improper
conduct relating to BP. But he
acknowledged that he had lied to a
judge about how he met his former
partner, with whom he had a four-
year relationship.
The Mail on Sunday, the news-
paper that had sought to publish
the claims, immediately called for
Browne to be prosecuted for per-
jury.
Browne said he regretted the
lie, saying he was in shock at his
private life being exposed, and was
stepping down voluntarily to avoid
unnecessary embarrassment and
distraction to the company.
For the past 41 years of my
career at BP I have kept my private
life separate from my business life,
he said.
Brownes designated successor,
exploration and production head
Tony Hayward, will take over as
CEO immediately, the company
said. He will have to repair BPs tar-
nished reputation after the series of
high-profile operational and regu-
latory mishaps.
BP said Brownes decision meant
he would lose a bonus of up to 1.3
times his annual salary, worth more
than 3.5 million pounds ($6.9 mil-
lion). He would also forgo inclusion
in a share plan with a potential
value of 12 million pounds ($23.9
million).
Browne, 59, had been fight-
ing since January to keep the
Mail on Sunday from publishing
details from the interview with
Jeff Chevalier. He acknowledged
the relationship in the statement
Tuesday and apologized for lying
to the judge.
My initial witness statements
... contained an untruthful account
about how I first met Jeff, he said.
This account, prompted by my
embarrassment and shock at the
revelations, is a matter of deep
regret.
The Mail on Sunday said it
would provide evidence of Brownes
deception to the attorney generals
office.

Castro missed at May Day march
ASSOCIATED PRESS
HAVANA There was no sign
of a convalescing Fidel Castro as
hundreds of thousands of Cubans
marched through Havanas Revolution
Plaza to celebrate May Day, cast-
ing new doubts on his recovery and
whether he will return to power.
Tuesday marked only the third
time in nearly five decades that
Castro has missed the sweeping
International Workers Day festivi-
ties, a major celebration here and
around the world.
While recent images of Castro
meeting with Chinese leaders
indicated he had improved con-
siderably since undergoing emer-
gency surgery nine months ago, his
absence at the parade through the
Revolution Plaza raised questions
about whether he is strong enough
to run the country.
The 80-year-old leader has
missed two other major events
since announcing his illness on July
31 and temporarily ceding power
to his 75-year-old brother Raul
Castro, the defense minister. Raul
presided at the Nonaligned Summit
in September and a major military
parade in December.
It now seems more unlikely than
before that he will fully resume the
presidency, said Wayne Smith, the
former head of the American mission
in Havana. And the more time that
passes, the more unlikely it seems.
Smith said that with Castro fail-
ing to show Tuesday, Venezuelan
President Hugo Chavezs assertions
this week that Castro was back
appeared to be a lot of hot air.
Others said he could still resume
some responsibility.
To me, the key question is to
what degree is he coming back?
said Phil Peters, Cuba special-
ist for the Lexington Institute, a
Washington-area think tank.
Would his comeback be partial,
ceremonial? Will he spend two
hours in the office checking off on
strategic decisions?
Raul Castro, wearing his typical
olive-green uniform and cap, stood
stiffly and smiled under the shadow
of a statue of Cuban independence
leader Jose Marti. He waved as
marchers clad in red T-shirts and
dark slacks streamed past, clutching
plastic Cuban flags, portraits of his
more famous brother and banners
denouncing U.S. imperialism.
Although Cuban life is little
changed under Rauls leadership,
loyalists missed the energy Fidel
brought to events such as May Day.
Everyone wanted to see him,
but its good that he recovers com-
pletely. Now the revolution is con-
tinuing with Raul, said 68-year-old
hotel worker Victor Reyes, who was
among the marchers.

WASHINGTON President
Bush vetoed legislation to pull U.S.
troops out of Iraq Tuesday night in
a historic showdown with Congress
over whether the unpopular and
costly war should end or escalate.
It was a day of high political drama,
falling on the fourth anniversary
of Bushs Mission Accomplished
speech declaring that major combat
operations had ended in Iraq.
In only the second veto of his
presidency, Bush rejected legislation
pushed by Democratic leaders that
would require the first U.S. combat
troops to be withdrawn by Oct. 1
with a goal of a complete pullout six
months later.
This is a prescription for chaos
and confusion and we must not
impose it on our troops, Bush said
in a nationally broadcast statement
from the White House. He said the
bill would mandate a rigid and arti-
ficial deadline for troop pullouts,
and it makes no sense to tell the
enemy when you plan to start with-
drawing.
Democrats accused Bush of
ignoring Americans desire to stop
the war, which has claimed the lives
of more than 3,350 members of the
military.
The president wants a blank
check, said House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi, D-Calif., moments after
Bushs appearance. The Congress is
not going to give it to him. She said
lawmakers would work with him to
find common ground but added that
there was great distance between
them on Iraq.
The legislation amounted to a
rare rebuke of a wartime president
and an assertion by Democrats that
Congress must play a major role in
Iraq and the extent of U.S. involve-
ment.
Senate Majority Leader Harry
Reid said Bush has an obligation to
explain his plan for responsibly end-
ing the war.
If the president thinks by vetoing
this bill, hell stop us from working
to change the direction of the war in
Iraq, he is mistaken, Reid said.
Lacking the votes to override the
president, Democrats have already
signaled they intend to approve a
replacement bill stripped of the troop
withdrawal timetable. Determined
to challenge Bushs policy, they are
turning their attention to setting
goals for the Iraqi government to
meet as it struggles to establish a
more secure, democratic society.
The White House and congres-
sional Republicans have also called
for so-called benchmarks, but only
if they dont mandate a troop with-
drawal or some other major change
in war policy.
Bush will meet with congres-
sional leaders Democrats and
Republicans alike on Wednesday
to discuss new legislation.

Sale of Dow Jones doubtful
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK Rupert
Murdochs News Corp. offered to
buy Dow Jones & Co. for $5 billion,
but the deal, which would add The
Wall Street Journal to Murdochs
global media empire, faces doubtful
prospects since Dow Jones control-
ling shareholders said Tuesday they
would vote against it.
Clinching ownership of The Wall
Street Journal would mark a huge
coup for the 76-year old media
mogul, landing Murdoch the most
authoritative voice in the world of
business journalism as well as key
know-how and personnel as News
Corp. gears up to launch a business-
oriented cable news channel to rival
CNBC, which first broke news of
the proposal earlier Tuesday.
The offer of $60 per share rep-
resents a huge premium of about
65 percent over Dow Jones closing
share price on Monday. However,
Dow Jones said late Tuesday that
the Bancroft family, the companys
controlling shareholders, said they
would vote shares representing just
over 50 percent of the companys
voting power against the deal.
That leaves Murdoch with the
option of making a sweeter offer,
or it could open the door to other
bidders. When informed of the
Bancrofts opposition to his pro-
posal during a live interview with
Neil Cavuto on Fox News Channel,
which is owned by News Corp.,
Murdoch said he hoped they would
think about the offer, and that his
company would be great guard-
ians of the storied newspaper.
Theres plenty of time, he said.
The union representing Dow
Jones employees, the Independent
Association of Publishers
Employees, was harshly critical of
the prospect of being owned by
Murdoch and issued a statement
saying that the bid was opposed by
the staff from top to bottom.
Mr. Murdoch has shown a will-
ingness to crush quality and inde-
pendence, and there is no reason to
think he would handle Dow Jones
or the Journal any differently, the
union said. Despite our differences
of opinion with current manage-
ment, we strongly encourage the
Bancrofts to continue to stand up
for the institutions independence,
and to walk away from this offer.
Dow Jones shares shot up
$19.87, or 54.7 percent, to close at
$56.20 in very heavy volume on
the New York Stock Exchange after
reaching as high as $58.47. They
had traded in a 52-week range of
$32.16 to $40.08 before Tuesdays
news. News Corp. shares fell $1.01,
or 4.2 percent, to $22.99.
Like several other newspaper
owners, Dow Jones is controlled
by a family through a special class
of stock. But unlike the Grahams
at The Washington Post Co. or
the Sulzbergers at the New York
Times Co., the Bancrofts do not
have an active hand in running the
company.
The company raised the ire of
shareholder advocates two years
ago by making changes to its rules
that would allow the Bancroft fam-
ily to maintain voting control even
if they liquidate part of their hold-
ings. According to Dow Jones most
recent proxy statement, the family
owns 24.7 percent of the economic
interest in the company and con-
trols 64.2 percent of the vote.
News Corp.s main businesses
are now in television and enter-
tainment, including Fox News
Channel, Fox broadcast network
and Twentieth Century Fox movie
studio.
R.Kelly writes song for Virginia Tech

NEW YORK R. Kelly has
written a new song, Rise Up,
about healing in the aftermath of
the April 16 shootings at Virginia
Tech. A gunman killed 32 people
and himself on the universitys
campus in Blacksburg, Va.
Rise Up will be available digi-
tally May 15, and 100 percent of the
net proceeds from its sale will go to
the Hokie Spirit Memorial Fund,
said Jive Records, Kellys record
label.
Kelly, 40, wrote the inspirational
ballad after watching the events
unfold on television while he was
on route to a performance, Jive
said.
The lyrics include the lines: Rise
up, when you feel you cant go on,
rise up, and all of your hope is gone,
rise up, when youre weak and you
cant be strong.
The Hokie Spirit Memorial Fund
was created to provide assistance to
the victims of the families, as well
as grief counseling and other needs
for those affected by the shootings.

WICHITA Wrapped in an
American flag, Margarita Aguirre
passed dozens of small U.S. flags
to protesters who were preparing
to march down Wichita streets
demanding immigration reforms.
The 18-year-old woman seized
the microphone of a portable public
address system and in Spanish urged
several hundred gathered here to
march together: Without shame,
lets go. Hispanics united will
never be defeated!
And with her rallying cry, the
group far smaller than the 4,000
or so that marched here a year ago
slowly wound its way amid a
drizzling rain to city hall.
The marchers chanted a refrain
from farm labor organizer Cesar
Chavezs rallying cry: Si se puede!
(Yes, we can.) They carried signs
reading, Stop the raids and depor-
tation and Immigrant rights are
labor rights. Speakers urged them
not to be afraid.
Among them was Nicolas
Vincalay, an illegal immigrant who
works as a dishwasher so he can send
money back to Mexico to support
his wife and seven children, who are
still there.
He works in the United States so
that his children ranging in ages
from 14 to 32 can get an educa-
tion and pursue better careers.
I dont want them to end up like
me, he said in Spanish.
Vincalay said he joined the march
to show his support his fellow coun-
trymen.
I hope the march attracts a lot of
attention so that they know that we
are still living here, he said.
Even though he is a legal resident,
Manuel Irigoyen said he wanted pro-
test to push for a solution to the
immigration problem so that his
people will no longer be seen as
criminals.
He dismissed as foolish immi-
gration proposals that call for stiff
fines.
Luz Elena Busciaga came to the
march with two young children as a
show of support for all immigrants.
The woman, who is now a legal resi-
dent, came to the United States as an
undocumented worker 27 years ago
so that her children would have a
better future.
I want to show support for my
compatriots, all the Hispanics who
came here same as I, she said in
Spanish. Where we came from there
was no work.
Antonio Hermosillo said he want-
ed to join with others who, like him-
self, are undocumented workers.
Id like to be able to leave and re-
enter the United States without being
treated like a criminal, like a terror-
ist, Hermosillo said in Spanish.
Hermosillo, who works as a land-
scaper, has lived in the United States
for 14 years. In that time he has
visited Mexico only twice because he
fears getting stopped at the border.
Alex Molina, a community activist
who has lived here for 35 years, hast-
ily organized the march after finding
out Hispanic advocacy groups in
Wichita were not planning marches
in conjunction with immigration
protests nationwide.

TOPEKA Doctors would
have to tell the state exactly why
they aborted viable fetuses, and
state health officials would have
to summarize the information
in reports under a deal brokered
Tuesday by legislative negotiators.
Three senators and three
House members agreed to impose
the new reporting policy for
the Department of Health and
Environment as they worked on
a compromise version of the years
last spending bill. If the agency
did not comply, it would not be
allowed to spend any money dur-
ing the fiscal year beginning July
1.
But as part of the deal, nego-
tiators decided the spending bill
wouldnt include related provi-
sions for the Department of Social
and Rehabilitation Services and
the State Board of Healing Arts,
which licenses doctors. The House
had approved all three, but the
Senate hadnt considered them.
Abortion opponents have long
sought more details about why
doctors perform late-term pro-
cedures, arguing additional data
would be useful to legislators and
give the public more information.
Critics view the new reporting
requirements as a step toward lim-
iting access to abortion.
Once the negotiators finished
their work, each chamber would
consider the compromise spend-
ing measure and decide whether to
send it to Gov. Kathleen Sebelius,
who has the power to veto indi-
vidual items in budget measures.
She supports abortion rights
and vetoed a reporting bill last
year, but spokeswoman Nicole
Corcoran said, Governor Sebelius
will need to carefully review this
proviso if it reaches her desk.
Senators didnt want to include
any of the provisions in the spend-
ing bill. Sen. Dwayne Umbarger
(R-Thayer), their lead negotiator,
argued such policy has no place
in the budget where it would
remain in effect only one year,
anyway.
He said he agreed on allowing
one provision to clear the way
for a deal on the entire spend-
ing bill. Rep. Sharon Schwartz
(R-Washington), gave the same
reason for backing off two of the
three provisions.
Its all about compromise,
Schwartz said.
State law says that after the 21st
week of pregnancy, a doctor can
abort a viable fetus to save a wom-
ans life or to prevent substantial
and irreversible harm to a major
bodily function. Although the law
doesnt specifically say that a major
bodily function includes mental
health, officials have enforced the
law as if it did.

WASHINGTON Rock star
Bono has tried to feed the world and
hes tried to heal the world. Now, hes
trying to help some U.S. lawmakers
teach the world.
The lead singer of the Irish
group U2 and perennial advo-
cate for anti-poverty programs on
Tuesday joined Sen. Hillary Rodham
Clinton, D-N.Y., and other lawmak-
ers seeking to expand basic educa-
tion around the world.
I cant vote for any of them, but
Im thankful for what theyre doing,
Bono said from Ireland during a con-
ference call with legislators. This is
why Im a fan and an annoying
fan at times of America.
The singer joined Clinton and
Reps. Nita Lowey, D-N.Y., and
Spencer Bachus, R-Ala., in pushing
long-dormant legislation that would
add $10 billion to a global fund
to provide education to millions of
children in Africa and elsewhere.
An estimated 77 million chil-
dren worldwide and 38 million in
Africa alone lack access to edu-
cation up to the sixth grade. Similar
data show that the more education
a person has, the more money he or
she earns and the less likely he or she
is to be infected with HIV.
The group argued that a gener-
ous effort by the United States for
the worlds poorest children would
go a long way toward improving the
countrys international standing, and
reducing the threat of terrorism.
Young people who are read-
ing books arent building bombs,
Bachus said.
A version of the bill was offered
in 2004, but with only Democratic
sponsors it went nowhere. Bono and
others are hopeful a bipartisan effort
could advance the measure.
Action by the U.S. would also
compel European nations to offer
even more, Bono argued.
The United States is just one-
third of this. Your money will be
certainly doubled up and I will be
working on trebling it. I think we
can guarantee the double, he said.
Gene Sperling, a former advis-
er to President Bill Clinton, said
Washington is slowly warming to
the notion that advancing education
abroad helps combat problems of
poverty, HIV/AIDS and hunger.
In 2004, it was partisan legisla-
tion that seemed like a pipe dream,
and the earth has shifted some on
the issue of education in developing
countries, Sperling said.

NEW YORK Danny DeVito
is taking an embarrassing moment
on ABCs The View and turning
it into his own brand of limon-
cello, a lemon-flavored liqueur.
The 62-year-old actor-direc-
tor made a loopy appearance
on the daytime talk show last
November, saying hed had a late
night out with George Clooney.
I knew it was the last seven
limoncellos that was going to get
me, DeVito said on the show.
DeVito who was promot-
ing his new comedy, Deck the
Halls slurred his speech and
used some bad language when
joking about President Bush,
among other gaffes, during his
appearance on The View.
When Clooney was later asked
how much was consumed, he
replied: A lot. ... I got to the point
where I was dumping the shots
into, ah, you know, a plant next to
me and, um, I dont think ... I dont
think Danny saw me do that.
DeVito is now launch-
ing Danny DeVitos Premium
Limoncello, which was unveiled
Monday at the Wine and Spirits
Wholesalers of America Annual
Convention in Orlando, Fla.
His 60-proof liqueur, to be
launched later this year, is the
best limoncello you ever tasted,
DeVito said.

LOS ANGELES The lawsuit
against Jennifer Love Hewitt alleg-

Hollywood treatment.
Hewitt, who stars on CBS Ghost
Whisperer, plays a young woman
with the unique ability to talk to
`earth bound spirits who seek help
in `resolving unfinished business
with the living, it reads. In real
life, however, Love Hewitt is having
troubles `resolving unfinished busi-
ness with the living.
Handprint Entertainment LLC,
Hewitts former management firm,
claims the 28-year-old actress has
reneged on a 2002 oral agreement
to pay a 10 percent commission
on all deals negotiated during the
companys tenure.
The contract should include
earnings from Ghost Whisperer,
Handprint said in the complaint
filed in Superior Court.
Hewitts publicist, Sarah Fuller,
referred all questions about the
case to the actress attorney Bob
Wallerstein, who didnt immediately
return a message left at his office.
Handprint said Hewitt acknowl-
edged the agreement by paying 10
percent of her earnings from her
first season on Ghost Whisperer,
even after replacing the company.
Hewitt, star of the slasher flick I
Know What you Did Last Summer,

WASHINGTON The stars of
Hollywood and Washington came
out Tuesday to pay their respects to
Jack Valenti, a man at home in the
power structures of both cities.
Five days after his death at 85,
friends and family members hon-
ored Valenti in the Cathedral of
Saint Matthew the Apostle, just a
few blocks from the White House
where he served as assistant to
President Lyndon Johnson. Later,
as chief of the Motion Picture
Association of America, Valenti was
a passionate film industry lobbyist,
deflecting criticism of Hollywood
and fiercely combating threats to
the industry such as film piracy.
Actor Kirk Douglas recalled for
his fellow mourners a time he spent
with Valenti after a long, frustrat-
ing wait for a Washington meeting.
Valenti told him to abandon his
post and come over to the White
House.
If you were Jacks friend, your
troubles became his troubles,
Douglas said. When the time
comes for me to be upstairs wait-
ing for St. Peter to see me, I expect
Jack to find me and bring me to the
big man.
Describing his final visit with
Valenti, Douglas said: He was in
a coma. I held his hand and talked
to him.
Among the other attendees
were actors Michael Douglas and
Catherine Zeta Jones and director
Steven Spielberg.
In his eulogy, Charles Bartlett
a Valenti friend and Washington
neighbor spoke to the dual
nature of Valentis career, saying

letter to the editor
our view
United states should keep eye on Russia after yeltsins death
The recent death of former
Russian President Boris Yeltsin,
while perhaps unsurprising
given his taste for lifes finer
things, is nevertheless sad-
dening. However, it gives the
democratic nations of the world
an important chance to renew
the global discussions about the
progress of peace and freedom
around the globe.
Yeltsin, Russias only demo-
cratically elected leader in its
tortuous history, was a study
in contrasts. His public zeal
and championing of peoples
rights was inspiring, but his
private life and governing style
leaned uncomfortably close to
the Soviet style Russian citi-
zens knew all too well. They
say that power corrupts, and
Yeltsin partially succumbed to
that axiom; however, he also
remained a proponent of the
rights of the everyman.
Yeltsin gave way to Vladimir
Putin, who, despite President
Bushs testimonials about the
integrity of his soul, appears
to be far less committed to
Yeltsins espoused democratic
reforms. He has led a nation-
wide crackdown on opposition
parties, detaining former chess
wunderkind Garry Kasparov,
and has steadi-
ly increased
the Kremlins
influence on
Russian media.
The most recent
move is to
require a near-
majority of
programming
devoted to posi-
tive news about
the government.
It has become quite trendy
in these, Fukuyamas end-
of-history days, to speak of
things in post-national terms.
Democracy and economic lib-
eralism, the
lingua franca
of globaliza-
tion, are said
to have tri-
umphed over
competing
ideological
forces, ceding
all battlements
to the power of
Western forces.
However, national borders
and affairs still matter, espe-
cially in the case of a behemoth
like Russia. Erosions of per-
sonal and media freedoms in a
nominal democracy the size of
Russia are troubling, and speak
ill of the future of democracy.
Its difficult to underestimate
the importance of personal
and political freedomswe in
America often take them for
granted, devoted to the notion
of free speech rights for all.
But when we see a unilateral
approach taken to restricting
freedom in Russia, it reminds
us that the mentality, if not the
actual apparatus, of the Soviet
mindset is in fact not moribund
but thriving. This is probably
unsurprising, given the czarist
nature of Russian history, but
should be troubling.
We will no doubt need
Russia as an ally as our fight
against terrorism continues.
Indeed, to let such an impor-
tant neighbor relapse into an
apparatchik attitude could be
harmful to our efforts at global
peace. We should keep a close
eye on the future of Russia,
and watch for telling signs of
erosion of our own personal
freedoms. A KGB worldview
in Russia is disturbing; in
America, it could be downright
frightening.

The sign says no photography.
Silence should be observed at all
times. I put my camera away and
head inside, anxious to look around.
Click. Click. Flash!
What should have been the
experience of a lifetime, visit-
ing the Sistine Chapel in Vatican
City, was damaged by numerous
guests inability to follow direc-
tions. Besides snapping away at the
centuries-old frescos, they refused
to stay quiet. It angered me that
they treated the chapel like a tourist
attraction and not a church.
I struggled to figure out why,
despite being told not to, so many
people took photographs and talked
inside the chapel. In the end, I
decided it had to be a combination
of arrogance and the mob effect.
Its an alarming trend in our
society people assuming that
theyre somehow above the rules.
Its considered cool to rebel. Its
more fun to be bad than to be
good. The signs must refer to
everyone except them.
The mob effect draws in those
few people who tried to resist
temptation. They see the signs and
do their very best to behave, but
upon seeing other people breaking
the rules, they ask, why not them?
Why should they behave and get
nothing while the miscreants come
out ahead? If other people are
breaking the rules and not getting
in trouble, it must be okay. Therein
lies another disturbing trendthe
assumption that coming out ahead
requires rule breaking.
In the Vatican, snapping pictures
in the Sistine Chapel has little effect
other than showing immense dis-
respect and causing annoyance. In
the real world, societies crumble
when people, en masse, decide that
they cant be bothered to behave.
I know stealing cable is wrong,
but my neighbor does it and I want
HBO so I can watch Entourage.
The sign says no smoking in this
area of the restaurant, but I dont
want to move. The light turned red
but Im in a hurry, so its okay if I
run it.
This attitude of me before
everything else, be it public health,
traffic laws or fine art, will eventu-
ally lead to outright moral decay. It
may seem small and insignificant,
but as it accumulates, it becomes
much more damaging. The same
disregard a person can show for
a painting can become contempt
for anything else, including other
people. Taking artistic integrity
away from dead men can easily
morph into stealing more tangible
objects from live neighbors. The
bridge isnt nearly as wide as some
would believe.
Leaving the cacophony of cam-
era clicks and calling voices behind
me, I leave the Chapel and collect
a souvenir that doesnt involve self-
ishness: a postcard.

By Alison CumBow
rant Moran has seen the
culture of Japanese anime
merge between countries
on a first-hand level.
Increasingly now, the
Japanese are changing cultural aspects
to entice a wider international audi-
ence, Moran said.
Moran and Ken Duer were two of
the four speakers at the anime event in
the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics
on April 25. The speakers discussed the
cultural aspects behind Japanese anime
in relation to the American market.
Thirty years ago, the Japanese ani-
mation business would never have
attempted to produce a product spe-
cifically to be appreciated in the United
States, Moran said. There was no inter-
section between the two countries.
Now, the thought of the two busi-
nesses working together is a reality.
Moran, who has been a writer,
story editor, producer and execu-
tive in television animation for many
years, said an example of changing
cultural aspects was by not changing
the name of Viewtiful Joe when it
came from Japan to the United States.
Television anime is a lucrative business
and frequently spreads from country to
country. Many feel that what once was
culturally enriched Japanese television
anime has become a Westernized ver-
sion of its previous self.
Anime is a cultural window into
modern Japanese life, ideals, emo-
tions, beliefs and even history. But
because anime is highly cultural and
not American, American companies
butcher a great deal of that, Alex Byers,
a University of Kansas graduate and
avid fan, said.
There are essentially two ways to
bring Japanese anime to the American
audience. One is through DVDs, which
the intense fans buy. The second is
through television. If an American
broadcasting company decides to buy
a series from Japan it then has its team,
such as Moran, rewrite the dialogue.
My job is to create words in the
Japanese anime characters mouths that
they are saying in their native language
to English. My words have to fit into
the way their mouths are already mov-
ing, Moran said.
Many fans are unhappy with this
process and claim that much more than
just the words are changed.
American TV anime is highly edit-
ed for the consumer and the consum-
ers weary parent. The voice style is
also changed, which alters the nuance
of who the character really is, as well
as the dialogue, to cater more to the
American thought process and ways of
speaking, Byers said.
The most common demographic for
television anime is boys 6 to 12 years
old. In the United States, this group of
children is very different than those in
Japan.
Young Japanese boys are more
interested in sports and comedy series,
whereas in the U.S., the boys want to see
action and conflict, Ken Duer, the sec-
ond main speaker
at last weeks event,
said.
Japanese anime
has brought more
than just story tell-
ing to American
pop culture. It has
brought culture,
down to the food
the characters eat
in the show, to how
they are dressed
and even to the
theme music,
known as J-Pop, Duer said.
Many people, including KU students
have found the phenomenon added to
their list of interests.
I think that anime is something that
just about anyone could be interested
in, Drew Howland, Topeka freshman
and member of the KU Anime Club,
said.
I like anime because it is enjoyable.
Often, an anime show will have a great
story line, and I find it relaxing and
a good break from normal life, Matt
Schott, Olathe sophomore and member
of the KU Anime Club, said.
Schott also said that Americans have
Westernized Japanese anime so that
many people could get the chance to
enjoy the art form.
Moran seconds this idea and
explained that anime isnt about hearing
exact translations across the boards. Its
about keeping the message the same.
I try to cre-
ate the American
equivalent to the
experience that
the Japanese have
had after watching
an anime series. I
write the dialogue
as directly a transla-
tion that I can, and
my goal is for the
American audience
to experience exact-
ly what the Japanese
have: a love for the
shows, he said.
Whatever the reason for the
American spin on anime, Japanese
television anime eliminates any limits
of cultural awareness. It gives everyone
more than enough reason to wake up
early on Saturday mornings for a little
cartoon surfing.

uch of the buzz around
campus this week seems
to be that Brandon Rush
is making a mistake by entering the
NBA draft because he is not a lock
for the first round.
The fact is that Rush should
keep his name in the draft even if
there is a chance that he falls to
the second round and loses out on
a guaranteed contract.
Take a look at last years draft,
considered to be the weakest in
recent memory because of the
inclusion of an ineligible class due
to the NBAs new age limit of 19.
Last years second-round draftees
would likely not even be selected
in this years stacked draft. Of the
first 13 picks in last years second
round, 11 are on NBA rosters and
all of these 11 are making more
than $400,000 per year. These are
the players that Rush will be com-
peting with for roster spots.
Being drafted in the second
round does not mean that a player
has to ride the bench either. Last
years 42nd pick, former Texas
Longhorn Daniel Gibson, started 16
games for the Cleveland Cavaliers
and remains a key contributor to a
team still contending for an NBA
championship.
Looking back at the 2005 draft,
we see similar results. Nine of the
first 11 players drafted in the sec-
ond round are on NBA rosters, with
players like Monta Ellis, the 40th
selection to Golden State, maintain-
ing an important role with playoff
teams.
Rush is in a different situation
than those early second-round
selections not on NBA rosters.
Three out of the four were inter-
national players, entering the draft
relatively unknown to NBA teams.
NBA general managers know
what Rush can bring to the table
after two years as the leading
scorer for a Kansas squad that
receives as much national exposure
as any team outside the state of
North Carolina. At 6-foot-6, Rush
can defend NBA wings, rebound
well for his position and make
open shots. This type of player
will always find a spot on an NBA
roster. Rush would be the safe pick
when a team is faced with choosing
him or an unknown international
player.
Another year in college would
likely not help Rushs draft stock a
great deal. At best, he would be a
late first-round pick next season. At
almost 22 years old, Rush does not
ooze potential like a Julian Wright
does. He is already fairly polished
and other than ball handling, which
is not something that will magically
appear in one offseason, he does
not have a lot of room to improve.
He would lose out on a year of NBA
earning potential, valued at least
$400,000.
Fans sometimes fail to real-
ize that coming back to school

By the end of last June, Kyle
Murphy had almost had enough
with baseball.
He had hit just .153 in 58 games as
Kansas part-time center fielder and
the thought of devoting his entire
summer to baseball was no longer
appealing. After 10 games with the
Hays Larks of the Jayhawk League,
Murphy packed his bags and headed
back home to Beloit, Wis.
I was playing fine, but I was
just really burnt out after last year,
Murphy said. I had so much stress
built up, it was almost like catch-
ing a second wind, like I was just
able to relax and put things behind
me.
Rather than putting up with the
rigors of summer league baseball,
Murphy spent the offseason work-
ing on his swing with his friend and
former minor leaguer Kevin Burns
and playing occasionally with a local
team.
During his time away, Murphy
regained confidence in his swing
and learned to take a more relaxed
approach to baseball. His cathar-
sis has carried over into his senior
season as hes transformed from an
offensive liability to one of the most
consistent hitters in Kansas lineup.
Always a weapon roaming center
field, Murphy has molded himself
into a promising pro prospect on
pure desire.
n n n
When Murphy returned to Lawrence
in the fall, he found a renewed passion
for baseball and had a successful sea-
son. From the onset, he decided to
enjoy the little things about baseball
rather than worry about statistics.

The Kansas softball team is fol-
lowing a similar script to the one it
has used the past two seasons.
The Jayhawks (32-19-1, 7-9)
travel to Wichita State (32-26, 16-8
MVC) today for a double-header
with a feeling, as coach Tracy Bunge
put it, of dj vu.
When it comes down to the
end of the year weve been in the
same position the last two years,
Bunge said.
Heading into the Wichita State
game last season the Jayhawks had
a 27-24 overall record and a 6-10 in
the Big 12 Conference
The team was seventh in the
Big 12 at this point of the season,
where the current team stands, and
last year Kansas won the Big 12
Championship.
This years team returns 10 let-
ter winners from last years team,
which knows what it takes to repeat
and improve on what it did last
year.
What you do the last 10-15
games of the year is important and
our returning players understand

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Vladimir
Guerrero hit a first-inning grand
slam and the surging Los Angeles
Angels held on to beat the reeling
Kansas City Royals 7-5 on Tuesday
night for their 10th victory in 12
games.
The Royals, who became the first
team ever to finish the month of
April 10 games under .500 three
straight years, lost for the seventh
time in nine games. Their 8-19
record is the worst in the majors.
The first three Angels singled on
Zack Greinkes first seven pitches to
load the bases. Greinke quickly went
to 3-0 on Guerrero. Then after a
called strike, the seven-time All-Star
sent the next pitch sailing 435 feet
over the fence in left-center for his
fifth grand slam.
Guerrero, whose two-run double
in the first inning Monday night led
the Angels to a 3-1 win, has driven
in 27 runs in 25 games. The Royals
walked him intentionally the next
two times he came up, each time
with a runner in scoring position.
Bartolo Colon (3-0) went five
innings and gave up nine hits and
five runs, with five strikeouts and
one walk. His ERA went from 1.93
to 3.79. Francisco Rodriguez pitched
a perfect ninth for his 10th save in
11 chances.
Greinke (1-3) gave up six runs
and 10 hits in five innings. He struck
out three and walked two.
The Royals pulled to within 5-4
on Mark Teahens three-run home
run in the four-run third.
Just ahead of Teahens homer,
Esteban German singled home Tony
Pena Jr., who walked leading off the
third. It was the seventh consecutive
inning the Royals had put their lead-
off runner on base, but the first time
one had scored.
The Angels went up 5-0 when
Matthews tripled and scored on
Orlando Cabreras double. Casey
Kotchman, after Guerrero was
intentionally walked for the second
straight time, hit a sacrifice fly for a
6-4 lead in the fourth.
Germans RBI single made it 6-5
in the bottom of the fourth.
Billy Butler made his major league
debut, starting in left field, and drew
a big ovation when he singled in his
first at-bat. He also singled in the
eighth.

Yankees prospect newest
addition to injured list
ARLINGTON, Texas Phil
Hughes was working on a no-hit-
ter in the seventh inning of his
second major league start when
a hamstring injury cost him a
chance to make history.
The Yankees prized prospect
is expected to miss four to six
weeks, a sour end to an otherwise
encouraging night for the last-
place club. New York responded
to criticism from owner George
Steinbrenner in a big way Tues-
day with a 10-1 rout of the Texas
Rangers.
The 20-year-old right-hander,
considered one of the top pros-
pects in baseball, was cruising
along in a dominant performance
when he winced and grabbed the
back of his left thigh after throw-
ing an 0-2 breaking ball to Mark
Teixeira with one out in the sev-
enth. Hughes was removed with
a 9-0 lead after his 83rd pitch.
Hughes was called up from
Triple-A Scranton to fll a spot in
New Yorks injury-depleted rota-
tion. Mike Mussina (hamstring),
Carl Pavano (forearm) and Jef
Karstens (broken right leg) are
on the disabled list. Chien-Ming
Wang also missed the frst three
weeks of the season with a ham-
string injury.
New York went 9-14 in April
and fnished the month 6 1/2
games behind frst-place Boston
in the AL East. That roused Stein-
brenner to issue his frst public
remarks of the season Monday,
at once throwing his support
behind manager Joe Torre and
rebuking the $195 million team
for its record.
Pitcher gains composure
after rough start
CLEVELAND Rocked for
three homers in the frst inning,
C.C. Sabathia buckled down to
stay unbeaten and Jhonny Peralta
had a career-high fve RBI for host
Cleveland.
After enduring a season-open-
ing month of snow, postpone-
ments and travel, Cleveland
began May with a comeback
victory, scoring nine consecutive
runs to win for the eighth time in
nine games.
Sabathia (4-0) found himself
down 3-0 fve batters into the
game. But the left-hander settled
in and held the Blue Jays to one
hit over the next fve innings,
retiring 16 of the fnal 17. He
walked none and struck out nine
in six innings.
Oakland defeats Boston
in 10th inning comeback
BOSTON Dan Johnson
doubled home the winning run
and Oakland stopped surging
Boston.
The Red Sox had won four of
fve games and began the day
with the best record in base-
ball but wasted a 4-2 lead and
another strong performance by
Curt Schilling.
Relief pitcher Jonathan Pa-
pelbon allowed a tying two-run
homer by Travis Buck in the ninth.
Oakland scored the winning
run of Brendan Donnelly (0-1)
on back-to-back doubles by
Mike Piazza and Johnson. Justin
Duchscherer (2-1) pitched the
ninth and Huston Street worked
the 10th for his seventh save.
Devil Rays defeat Twins,
Cuddyer leaves with injury
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. Sidney
Ponson pitched seven impressive
innings and Michael Cuddyer
drove in two runs for Minnesota
before leaving with an injury.
Ponson (2-3) gave up fve hits.
Both of his wins this season have
come against the Devil Rays.
The top of the sixth ended on
a strange play when Cuddyer lost
his balance rounding second base
on Justin Morneaus two-out single
and did a forward roll before being
tagged out by third baseman Ty
Wigginton. Cuddyer left one in-
ning later with a bruised back.
Minnesotas Torii Hunter
doubled in the seventh, extend-
ing his career-high hitting streak
to 16 games.

and fve hits in 1 1-3 innings.

Going into the season, I knew
I needed to just throw all that out
the window and be able to go in
every day and have fun, enjoy put-
ting my uniform on when I got
to the field, enjoy going out and
shagging fly balls and enjoy myself,
Murphy said.
Baseball didnt instantly become
all fun and games for Murphy.
He worked religiously to improve
himself as a hitter and an out-
fielder.
For help in those areas, he
turned to former Jayhawk center
fielder Matt
Baty. Baty was a
four-year start-
er for Kansas
and, from him,
Murphy learned
how to bet-
ter analyze the
game.
I learned a
lot about the
game and the
game inside the
game, Murphy
said. He was a big guy on mak-
ing the pitcher work when he
was on the bases and theres a lot
of aspects where he wasnt the
most talented guy, but he got the
most out of his abilities. The one
thing I learned is that regardless
of ability, you can be the best
you can be by just being smart
and intelligent about playing the
game.
It could be said that Baty gave
Murphy a crash course lesson on
playing outfield when the two col-
lided trying to catch a line drive
to left-center against Lipscomb last
season.
Murphy speared Baty on the play,
busting up his own face and lacerat-
ing Batys spleen, which kept Baty
out for several weeks.
We always joke around that I
destroyed his good looks because hes
got a big ol scar from his nose down
and how he beat me up because I
spent so much time in the hospital,
Baty said.
Good friends at the time of
the collision, Baty said the two
became best friends following
the incident. Baty was one of
Murphys biggest supporters dur-
ing his struggles at the plate and,
although Baty works in Dallas for
the Big 12 Conference, the two
still talk over the phone at least
once a week.
Come January, it was clear that
even with Batys help, Murphy still
had to produce on offense to be in
the starting lineup.
n n n
At the Kansas baseball media
day, coach
Ritch Pri ce
said Murphy
woul d get
every opportu-
nity to be the
teams starting
center fielder
because hi s
glove was so
val uabl e. If
Murphy man-
aged to hit
.250, Price said
hed be the happiest coach in the
country.
We wanted him to be our center
fielder, Price said. Hes so spe-
cial with the glove in his hand. In
my 29 years of coaching, hes the
best defensive outfielder Ive ever
coached.
Considering the season Murphy
has put together, Price must be abso-
lutely giddy.
After an 0-for-3 day in the sea-
son opener, Murphy went on a tear,
batting .389 in his next 10 games
from the ninth spot in the order.
But even when Price struggled to
find a reliable leadoff hitter, he
was hesitant to throw Murphy into
the role.
I was afraid if I moved him to
the top of the lineup, hed see more
breaking balls, hed see more change
ups, hed get pitched a lot tougher
than he would in the nine hole and
then he might start to struggle,
Price said.
Price eventually did move
Murphy to the top of the order and
it appeared his fears had come to
fruition as Murphy went 0-for-10
in his first three games as Kansas
leadoff hitter.
Then Murphy broke out, going
1-for-2 with three runs against
Tabor, followed by a 3-for-5
performance against nationally
ranked Arkansas with a home
run, five RBI and two runs. Since,
hes produced like the leadoff
hitter Price envisioned when he
recruited Murphy at Indian Hills
Community College.
Murphy has upped his batting
average 162 points from last sea-
son to .315, good for the second
best average on the team. He leads
the Jayhawks with 56 hits and 12
stolen bases and is tied for the
lead with 39 runs scored and 82
total bases.
But without his new outlook
on baseball, that first hitless after-
noon could have gotten the best of
Murphy, stunting his senior sea-
son.
Now when I go 0-for-4, I look
at that and compare it to last sea-
son and realize its not a big deal,
Murphy said. I went 0-for-4 several
times over last year.
Even when Murphy does go hit-
less at the plate, he remains an asset
on the field.
With his speed and ability to
read hits off the bat, center field
is where fly balls have gone to
die for Kansas
opponents. At
the same time,
his cannon for
an arm has
amassed a team-
best six outfield
assists this sea-
son, forcing
base runners
to think twice
about testing
him.
He is special, Tucker said. You
cant necessarily coach what he
brings to the table. Hes naturally
athletic, hes gifted with a great arm
and hes got the work ethic to go
along with it. Hes got the whole
package.
Murphys prowess as an outfielder
even impressed his peers.
The guy can just straight go
out and get the ball, Baty said.
He has the best hands Ive seen
out in the outfield. He gets to
balls you just dream of getting
to.
Baty did radio commentary for
Kansas series at Texas Tech two
weekends ago and said Murphy
was the best center fielder hed ever
played with.
n n n

N o w
equipped with
the offensive
production to
complement his
defense, all of
Murphys hard
work may end
up paying off
in the form of
a professional
contract.
Murphy said
playing professional baseball was
his ultimate goal, but the thought
was inconceivable at times. Then
again, hes already gone further in
baseball than he ever thought pos-
sible.
Being in a major program like
this was something that I wasnt
really sure was possible, Murphy
said. I came to junior college where
we were buying our T-shirts and
cleats. Coming to a program like
this, I was really blown away with
how we were treated and the things
we were given to perform each
day.
The consensus among
Murphys coaches is that this
June, Murphy will be packing
his bags again. But this time it
will be to begin his professional
baseball career.
Hes put up some good num-
bers offensively and defensively,
I think he could jump right in at
that level, Tucker said. If some-
body gives him a good oppor-
tunity, hes really going to make
them happy.
However, Murphy is enjoying his
last few weeks as a college baseball
player. Hell worry about the sum-
mer when the time comes.
Theres a good chance Ill be
able to do that, Murphy said,
but thats something thats in the
future and right now I need to stay
focused on the present of winning
some games and making the Big 12
Tournament.

From the fans
Kyle Murphys relentless
work habits havent gone
unnoticed by his peers. The
quotes below provide a
glimpse into Murphys dedica-
tion to becoming a better
player:
Im really pleased and
really happy for him. Hes
a very, very hard-working
young man and theres prob-
ably no player in America
whos spent more time work-
ing on his swing individually.
Ritch Price,
Kansas head coach
He sets the bar for every-
body else, especially being a
senior. Coming early, staying
late and taking pride in what
he does has all paid of for
him. I dont think anybody
could be as happy as we are
of his progress and what hes
done this year.

preparing for the swedes
BY ALISSA BAUER
The Bethany Swedes, Kansas
fourth NAIA opponent this season,
enters tonights match-up as the
toughest one yet.
Coach Ritch Price has stressed
the importance of games like these.
Being in game situations against live
pitching gives each team the chance
to stay sharp, despite not being in
the same division, and allows him
to get his younger guys some extra
playing time.
The competition the Swedes will
likely provide may be Prices favorite
part.
Kansas (22-26, 8-13 Big 12)
The Jayhawks are soaring after
picking up their first Big 12 series
victory at Oklahoma last weekend.
Out of the conference cellar, Price
said on Sunday that his team now
controlled its own destiny, and a vic-
tory tonight would keep them on the
right track.
Senior center fielder Kyle
Murphy and sophomore catcher
Buck Afenir are on pace to make
sure that happens. Each tallied
four hits and four RBI against
the Sooners last weekend, hitting
safely at least once in all three
games.
Bethany College (33-14, 18-
6 Kansas Collegiate athletic
Conference)
Despite falling to No. 10
Wichita State 13-6 on Monday,
the Swedes also enter tonight fly-
ing high. Saturday, the Swedes
defeated Friends University to
clinch the KCAC regular season
title.
In their last time out, against
WSU, shortstop Keenan Dukes hom-
ered in the second at bat of the
game and finished the evening 2-3.
Third baseman Shaun Ravenscraft
also held his own against the in-state
powerhouse, hitting 2-4 with three
RBs.

MILWAUKEE J.J. Hardy tied
a career-high with four hits, Tony
Graffanino hit a three-run homer to
cap a seven-run sixth inning and the
Milwaukee Brewers beat St. Louis
Cardinals 12-2 on Tuesday night.
Braden Looper and St. Louis were
cruising with a 2-0 lead on Brewers
starter Ben Sheets in the fifth. But
the Cardinals, playing in their sec-
ond game since the death of reliever
Josh Hancock, fell apart again.
Milwaukee scored 11 runs in two
innings.
For half the game, St. Louis, losers
of four straight, showed all the signs
of being ready to play after being
soundly beaten 7-1 the night prior in
an emotional return to the field.
But with two on and one out in
the fifth, Looper (3-2) faltered. Bill
Hall laced a two-run double top left-
center to tie the game.
Then the mistakes started.
Albert Pujols, who extended his
hitting streak to 10 games, cut off
the throw home and had Hall hung
up going to second, but no one was
there to cover the base.
The next batter, Johnny Estrada,
grounded to second baseman Adam
Kennedy, who made a poor throw to
first that Pujols couldnt scoop.
Geoff Jenkins then singled to cen-
ter on the next pitch for the go-ahead
run. Kevin Mench added a sacrifice
fly to give the Brewers a 4-2 lead.
It only got worse from there as
Milwaukee, which came into the
game tied for the best record in the
National League, scored seven in the
sixth, sending 10 men to the plate.
Sheets (2-2), who had to be pulled
from his last start after three innings
with a strained groin, started the
rally by ending an 0-for-38 streak
with a single and Rickie Weeks dou-
bled to end Loopers night.
The defense let down reliever
Randy Flores, too.
Left fielder Chris Duncan mis-
played a drive by J.J. Hardy, who
equaled a career high with four hits,
to score Sheets and Weeks. Prince
Fielder drove in a run, and Jenkins,
who added a solo home run in the
eighth, hit a grounder off Pujols foot
for another error to load the bases.
After an RBI ground out by
Mench, Tony Graffanino hit a
three-run homer off reliever Brad
Thompson.
Sheets didnt need to come back
out for the seventh and finished giv-
ing up six hits and a walk. He struck
out three.
St. Louis manager Tony La Russa
dropped David Eckstein from hitting
leadoff into the eighth position in an
attempt to jump start his Cardinals,
who he described as fuzzy and out
of focus the entire month.
Early, it seemed to work. Eckstein
walked in his first at-bat and Looper,
who has been the Cardinals best
pitcher with Chris Carpenter (elbow)
on the disabled list, drove in a run
with a single in the second.
Duncan added a deep solo home
run in the third to give St. Louis a
2-0 lead.
But Looper couldnt get out of
the sixth inning for the first time
this season, and finished giving up
six runs off 11 hits, walking two and
striking out five.
St. Louis, which started last sea-
son 17-8 in April on the way to
winning the World Series, came into
this May tied for last place in the NL
Central.
A private funeral for Hancocks
family is being held Wednesday, and
the team will join a public memo-
rial service to be held Thursday in
Tupelo, Miss.
Notes:@ Only two pitchers had
more appearances before their first
start than Loopers 572, Todd Jones
(632) and Chuck McElroy (603).
He now has surpassed both of them
in career starts with six. Weeks
returned to the lineup after missing
two games with a bruised index fin-
ger on his throwing hand. Cardinal
RHP Chris Carpenter threw about
60 pitches to a group of batters before
the game, and will be re-evaluated
on Wednesday. Sheets has had 26
hits in his seven-year career.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. It looked
as though Tiger Woods and Phil
Mickelson got off easy.
Both cases cried out for punish-
ment. Both players were covered
by the rules, although one was sub-
ject to interpretation. And in both
instances, even though the circum-
stances were entirely different, there
was outrage from their peers.
No wonder theres a perception
of a double standard on the PGA
Tour.
Woods hit a 9-iron on the
ninth hole at Firestone last year
that bounced onto and over the
clubhouse roof, landing in the ser-
vice entry where a kid delivering
crunchy cream pies scooped up the
ball and drove away.
Woods got a free drop, because
the clubhouse was not marked out-
of-bounds.
Ernie Els and Sergio Garcia
watched this development unfold
and were disgusted that Woods
could get such a break. He escaped
with bogey and went on to win the
tournament two days later.
Last Wednesday, Mickelson
missed his pro-am at the Byron
Nelson Championship. Mickelson
had been in Little Rock, Ark., for a
charity event, and severe thunder-
storms grounded his private plane
Tuesday night.
Under PGA Tour policy adopted
three years ago, anyone who doesnt
take part in the pro-am doesnt get
to play in the tournament. But the
policy was tweaked last year to
allow for serious personal emer-
gencies, and tour officials deemed
that an act of God the weather
in this case kept the worlds No.
3 player from getting to the course.
He was allowed to play and tied
for third, his best finish in two
months.
It seemed, from the outside
looking in, very, very fishy, Jim
Furyk said Tuesday. Not being well
enough versed on the rules, I dont
know if the right call was made or
not. But I understand why the red
flag went up.
One reason for the red flag
was name Mickelson, the star
attraction at a tournament other-
wise deplete of stars.
The other reason was because of
a pro-am policy that was designed
to crack down on absenteeism, but
instead has been filled with cracks
the tour has been trying to patch up
for the last two years.
In 2005, Chad Campbell want-
ed to play the 84 Lumber Classic
the tournament even had
his wife sing at one of its func-
tions but he asked out of
the pro-am Wednesday to attend
his grandmothers funeral. The
tour made him choose between
the pro-am and the funeral, and
Campbell withdrew from the
tournament.
Bob Tway asked out of a pro-am
at the BellSouth Classic last year
so he and his son, Kevin, could
attend the funeral of Bob Johnson,
the teenager whom Tways son had
beaten in the final of the U.S. Junior
Amateur. Tway was using a one-
time exemption to keep his card,
missed the funeral and then missed
the cut.
Wes Short Jr. wanted to skip out
on a pro-am because his father was
about to have quadruple bypass sur-
gery, but he had to choose between
the pro-am and spending time with
his father.
The tour has tweaked its policy
with every incident.
It started out that a player only
could miss a pro-am and still play
in the tournament if he was on site
with an injury and had a note from
his doctor. After the Campbell epi-
sode, it was changed to allow play-
ers to miss pro-ams if there were
a death in the immediate family.
After the Tway and Short incidents,
the tour added serious personal
emergency.
That was broad enough to cover
a myriad of issues such as a
plane being grounded by thunder-
storms.
No one was more bemused by
the Mickelson ruling than Retief
Goosen, the poster boy for this
policy.
The two-time U.S. Open cham-
pion flew across eight time zones,
from London to Los Angeles, to
play in the Nissan Open two years
ago. He overslept Wednesday
morning and arrived 20 min-
utes late for his pro-am time at
Riviera.
His partners were on the first
green. He was out of the tourna-
ment.
Imagine his surprise when he
flipped on the TV last week in
time to see Mickelson talking about
his round at the Byron Nelson
Championship with a subtitle on
the screen that said, Missed his
Wednesday pro-am.
Obviously, they abandoned that
rule, Goosen said.
He wasnt aware it had been
altered over the last couple of years,
and he was curious about the latest
loophole.
So he must have had a serious
personal issue, Goosen said.
Yes, well, he was doing a
charity event in Arkansas and
storms kept his plane from leav-
ing Tuesday night and early
Wednesday.
Ultimately, Goosen concluded
that it was good for the tournament
that Mickelson played.

NHl
Save secures Rangers victory
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK This no-goal got
the New York Rangers even with the
Buffalo Sabres in more ways than
one.
Henrik Lundqvist stopped Daniel
Brieres shot just short of fully cross-
ing the goal line with 17 seconds
left, and the Rangers hung on for
a 2-1 victory over the Sabres on
Tuesday night to square the Eastern
Conference semifinal series after
four games.
Both teams had to wait out a
lengthy video review for the second
straight game. On Sunday, Rangers
defenseman Karel Rachunek lost a
goal when league officials in Toronto
used a replay to determine he kicked
the puck in.
The game went to double over-
time, but a major controversy was
avoided when the Rangers eventu-
ally won.
This time the call went New Yorks
way.
I guess it was really close, Briere
said. I think they misjudged the
one last game. The Rangers goal
shouldve been a goal. For the sake
of all, I hope they made the right
call because that wouldnt be good
two games in a row, two critical
goals disallowed.
Jaromir Jagr and Brendan
Shanahan scored power-play goals,
and Lundqvist made 29 saves to get
the Rangers back in the series.
The best-of-seven matchup now
shifts back to Buffalo, where the
Sabres the NHLs best team in
the regular season took a 2-0
lead. Now they will be feeling the
heat from a nervous, title-starved
town unwilling to accept anything
less than the first Stanley Cup in
franchise history.
Game 5 is Friday night, with Game
6 back in New York on Sunday.
Buffalo picked up the pace right
after Ales Kotalik cut the Sabres
deficit to 2-1 just 33 seconds after
Shanahans goal. The Sabres stormed
for the tying goal during the final 10
minutes and outshot New York 11-4
in the third.
We played good for 50 minutes,
and the last minutes were a head-
ache, Jagr said. It was awful. We
were lucky we won.
The pressure is back on the
Presidents Trophy winners, who
have trailed in the third period in
every game but the opener. After
scoring an NHL-high 308 goals dur-
ing the season, the Sabres have been
held to five in three games following
a 5-2 opening win.
All the questions before the series
were whether the Rangers could
slow down Buffalos four fast lines.
Now two goals have been enough to
win consecutive games.
In the playoffs there is a lot less
chances available and Lundqvist has
been really good, also, Briere said.
We just have to keep crashing and
we have to keep going hard the way
we did in the third period.
Lundqvist dived onto his stomach
with 17 seconds left and stopped
Brieres stuff attempt with his right
pad as the puck slid on the goal line
but didnt fully cross.
I just felt I was so late, Lundqvist
said. I read the puck, but I think it
bounced a little bit.
For the first time in five close goal
calls in these playoffs, the Sabres
didnt benefit from a video review.
I believe Ive seen a replay where
its in, said Sabres coach Lindy
Ruff, sounding just like New York
Islanders coach Ted Nolan in the
first round. Weve had some good
reviews.
Jagr scored his fourth of these
playoffs and 71st in the postseason
in the second period. Shanahan dou-
bled New Yorks lead in the third.
Kotalik answered quickly after
Shanahans goal, but it wasnt enough.
Ryan Miller was sharp again in mak-
ing 26 saves, allowing two goals for
the fourth straight game.
The Sabres hadnt lost consecutive
games since dropping three in a row
from March 7-10. But the Rangers
earned their ninth straight win at
Madison Square Garden and 12th in
13 games.
You are not always going to have
things go your way. Its not always
going to be 4-1, Miller said. Its
certainly not going to always be that
you have the lead. Youre going to
have to battle and claw and scratch.
Nobody said it was going to be
easy.
Shanahan made it 2-0 by showing
the patience and poise of a 38-year-
old, three-time Stanley Cup champi-
on. He waited for Miller to make his
move, and when the goalie dropped
to his right side, Shanahan put the
puck past his outstretched pads and
to make it 2-0.
Before the announcement of
Shanahans sixth goal of these play-
offs and 58th in the postseason,
Kotalik scored.
For the second straight game, Jagr
and the Rangers took advantage of
a penalty in the opening minute of
the second period. Jagr, who also
scored in Game 3, deflected Michael
Nylanders shot off defenseman
Teppo Numminen and past Miller
45 seconds into the frame.
The Sabres had power-play
chances in the final 8 1/2 minutes of
the period that ended with them still
up a man. With 17 seconds remain-
ing in Marcel Hossas stick-holding
penalty, Rangers defenseman Marek
Malik went off for holding Derek
Roy.
But the Rangers held off Buffalo
to even the series.

Carpenter taking recovery
one workout at a time
MILWAUKEE Cardinals ace
Chris Carpenter, sidelined since
opening day with an elbow
injury, threw against teammates
on Tuesday in another step in his
rehab.
Carpenter said he felt fne after
the workout. He will be re-evalu-
ated on Wednesday.
Well see what happens
tomorrow, Carpenter said of his
outing that lasted about 60 pitches
over three simulated innings. If
everythings perfect tomorrow,
well go from there.
Manager Tony La Russa said
they wont plan for Carpenters
next step until they check him
out on Wednesday, but La
Russa was encouraged when
he watched Carpenters perfor-
mance.
Impressive, La Russa said.
That was an extensive workout
today.
Carpenter, a 15-game winner
last year, went on the disabled
list on April 10 because he had
swelling in his right elbow a
day after giving up five runs in
the opener. Carpenter said he
wasnt worried about build-
ing stamina in his most recent
performance.
I was just being competitive,
Carpenter said.
Skip Schumaker was one of
the batters that Carpenter faced
and said Carpenter was focused,
even if Schumaker thought he
had a little bit of help inside
Miller Park.
Hes tough to hit anyway, (but)
without the lights, its really tough,
he said

ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAUGET, Ill. Three days
before he was killed in a highway
wreck, St. Louis Cardinals pitcher
Josh Hancock was involved in a pre-
dawn accident that police treated
routinely.
Officers who talked with the 29-
year-old reliever moments after the
front of his sport utility vehicle was
clipped by a tractor-trailer in this vil-
lage known for its factories and strip
clubs found Hancock lucid. He did
not appear under the influence of
alcohol, Police Chief Patrick Delaney
said Tuesday.
No sobriety or breath tests were
given to Hancock and no tickets
were issued, Delaney said. The SUV
was too damaged to drive home.
Hancock died early Sunday when
the rented Ford Explorer he was driv-
ing slammed into a flatbed tow truck
on Interstate 64 in St. Louis. Autopsy
results had not been released, and
toxicology tests were pending.
Hancock was at a stop sign at
about 5:30 a.m Thursday, just across
the Mississippi River from St. Louis,
when he inched his vehicle out a
bit into the intersection, presumably
to see around big trucks and other
vehicles that frequently park near
there, Delaney said.
A passing tractor-trailer traveling
around the posted speed limit of 45
mph nicked Hancocks vehicle and
sheared off the front bumper, the
chief said. Neither Hancock nor the
trucker, 33-year-old Richard Lehn of
Keyesport, Ill., was injured.
Hancock was very fortunate,
Delaney said. If he would have
inched up another inch and that
truck would have hit, it would have
been much more serious accident.
The accident happened on Illinois
Route 3 off Yellow Brick Road,
named for its proximity to the Oz
nightclub. The intersection is also
near a liquor store and small-scale
truck stop.
Managers of Oz told police
Hancock had not been at that club
that night, Delaney said.
The officers said they felt Josh
was not impaired whatsoever,
Delaney said. He said Hancock did
not get preferential police treatment
as a ballplayer, noting the responding
officer didnt know Josh Hancock
from John Doe.
While waiting for a cab to take
him home after the accident in
Sauget, Hancock told another officer
he disliked night games followed by
day games. The pitcher said he often
drove around to make himself tired
enough to rest, the chief said.
He said how he hated he
used that word to play day games
after a night game, that he had trou-
ble sleeping and was out driving
around, Delaney said.
Hours later, Hancock showed
up late at Busch Stadium for a day
game against the Cincinnati Reds.
He insisted he thought the starting
time was later and had overslept in
a new bed.
A message left at Lehns home
Tuesday was not immediately
returned.
A memorial service for Hancock
is set for Thursday in Tupelo, Miss.
The Cardinals are chartering a plane
that will get them there in time for a
lunch with the Hancock family.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Billy
Butler, Kansas Citys first-round
draft pick of 2004, was recalled
from Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday
and told he would start immedi-
ately in left field.
One of the Royals top hitting
prospects in years, Butler was
batting .337 in 25 games for the
Omaha Royals. He turned 21 on
April 18 and was the 12th-young-
est player, and seventh-young-
est position player, to make his
major league debut with Kansas
City.
The Royals also placed first
baseman Ryan Shealy on the 15-
day disabled list. Shealy strained
his left hamstring while trying to
score from second base Monday
night.
Manager Buddy Bell, whose
team started the night with the
worst record in the majors at 8-
18, said he hoped Butler would
bring a spark to a lethargic
offense.
Really, he was our best offen-
sive player in spring training and
you have to consider this kids
got a real good feel for the strike
zone, Bell said. Hes very disci-
plined, which is uncharacteristic
of a young hitter to begin with.
Butler said he first thought
somebody was kidding him
when he got the call about 10
a.m. Monday to head for Kansas
City.
Im nervous, he said. Its one
of those things. You start think-
ing a lot of stuff. I made it to the
big leagues. Youve just got to
step on the field like its another
game.
Butler won the Texas League
batting title at Double-A Wichita
last year with a .331 average. He
will join two other rookies in the
starting lineup, third baseman
Alex Gordon and shortstop Tony
Pena Jr.
Im going to do the best I can.
Hopefully, its a good transition,
he said. Ive heard that if youre
not nervous, its time to hang it
up. Well, Im nervous right now.
The Los Angeles Angels were
slated to start former Cy Young
winner Bartolo Colon (2-0) in
Butlers first game Tuesday night.
I remember reading about
him when I was about 10 or 11
years old, Butler said.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Ryan Howard had just three hom-
ers, Carlos Delgado only one and
Alfonso Soriano none at all: Hitters
were stuck in an April ice age, with
home runs and scoring in the major
leagues drop-
ping to their
lowest levels
since 1993.
Home runs
fell 20 percent,
from an aver-
age of 2.31 to
1.84 per game,
according to
the Elias Sports
Bureau. The
average had not
been that low at
the end of April
since 1993s 1.58.
A huge cold front left hitters feel-
ing frozen.
Being cold, its tough to get
warmed up. Sometimes, its the
windy days, the wind blowing in
your eyes, and different kind of
stuff, Howard said. Ive never been
a quick starter.
Scoring dropped 8 percent, from
9.86 to 9.08 runs per game, the low-
est since the 1993 rate of 1.58. The
batting average fell from .265 to .256
and the ERA fell from 4.62 to 4.12.
Looking for a cause? The average
temperature was below normal for
long stretches in Boston, Chicago,
Cincinnati, Cleveland, Detroit,
New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh,
St. Louis and
Wa s h i ng t on,
according to
the National
Climatic Data
Center in
Asheville, N.C.
Cleveland had
six straight days
of snow, with
t e mpe r at ur e s
10-to-20 degrees
below normal.
The Indians had
an entire four-
game series against Seattle wiped
out, among 22 postponements in the
majors up from eight in April
last year.
The first two weeks of the sea-
son were miserable, New York Mets
catcher Paul Lo Duca said. Youre
playing in 12-degree weather and
the ball feels like its a rock when it
hits your bat.
When they did play, attendance
was up 4.8 percent, from 28,955 to
30,356. And much of baseball was
turned upside down.
Mark Buehrle of the Chicago
White Sox threw a no-hitter on the
18th day of the season. Last year,
the only no-hitter was pitched by
Floridas Anibal Sanchez, and it didnt
take place until Sept. 6 the first
in the major leagues since Randy
Johnsons perfect game in May 2004.
Maybe all the pitchings caught
up to the hitting, Oakland desig-
nated hitter Mike Piazza said with
a chuckle.
Still, some sluggers have defied
the trend. The Yankees Alex
Rodriguez hit 14 homers, which tied
the April record Albert Pujols set last
year. Barry Bonds had eight, moving
within 14 of Hank Aarons record
of 755, and Sammy Sosa hit seven
in his comeback with Texas, now
within five of 600.
Then there were forgettable Aprils.
Mariano Rivera had just one save,
blew two and left the month with a
10.57 ERA. Despite A-Rods hom-
ers, the injury-weakened Yankees lost
eight of their last nine games in the
month and ended April at 9-14, better
than only Colorado and Kansas City.
That start renewed speculation that
manager Joe Torres job may be in jeop-
ardy, and while George Steinbrenner
backed him Monday, the owner also
said his $195 million teams start was
clearly not acceptable.
In Boston, Daisuke Matsuzaka
was overwhelming at times, wild at
others. He went 3-2 with a 4.36 ERA
in his first month in the majors. Tim
Hudson was sharp for the Atlanta
Braves: Hes 3-0 with a 1.40 ERA in
six starts.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. The
Kansas City Chiefs released defen-
sive end Eric Hicks on Tuesday, three
days after taking defensive lineman
Claude Turk McBride in the sec-
ond round of the NFL draft.
Hicks, who made the Chiefs ros-
ter as an undrafted free agent out of
Maryland in 1998, has appeared in
128 games with 104 starts during
nine seasons.
He became a full-time starter in
1999, when he appeared in all 16
games for Kansas City, but has seen
his role diminish in recent years with
the emergence of Jared Allen and
Tamba Hali.
Allen has been suspended by the
NFL for the first four games next
season, for two DUI convictions,
and the decision to draft McBride
who can play inside or outside
followed the teams vow after last
season to start a youth movement.
Hicks ranks fifth in team history
with 44.5 sacks, with a career-best 14
sacks in 2000.
He also ranks 12th in tackling
with 574, including 284 solo stops,
with a single-season best of 118 tack-
les in 2003.
Hicks and his wife, Erica, have
been especially active in charity
work in the Kansas City area, found-
ing the Hicks for Hearts Foundation
in 2001 to assist families of children
with congenital heart defects.
Their daughter, Shayla, was born
in 1999 with a heart condition that
required several operations.
Eric has been an excellent foot-
ball player for the Kansas City Chiefs
and a superb representative of this
organization in the community these
past nine years, Chiefs president
and general manager Carl Peterson
said in a statement announcing
Hicks release. Eric is one of the
best college free agents that we have
signed since 89.
Other releases and trades
such as the one that sent return
man Dante Hall to St. Louis for
a fifth-round draft pick could
follow. Coach Herm Edwards said
after last season that the Chiefs
could have as many as 20 new play-
ers this fall.

COREY lIDlE planE CRaSh
Crash cause still disputed
By DEVLIN BARRETT
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON New York
Yankees pitcher Cory Lidle and his
flight instructor did not realize their
misjudgment of a U-turn until it
was too late to avoid their fatal New
York City plane crash, investigators
said Tuesday.
They had several options in how
they handled that maneuver, the
probe found.
In presenting their findings,
National Transportation Safety
Board members said they still didnt
know whether Lidle or his flight
instructor Tyler Stanger was pilot-
ing the plane in the Oct. 11, 2006,
crash.
Both were killed when the Cirrus
SR-20, owned by Lidle, slammed
into a high-rise apartment building.
The NTSB declared Tuesday that the
cause was inadequate judgment,
planning and airmanship by Lidle
and Stanger.
The Lidle and Stanger families are
suing the planes manufacturer, and
their lawyer criticized the NTSBs
conclusions.
Its not surprising; the Safety
Board always blames the pilot in
an accident, said the lawyer, Todd
Macaluso. The families fault the
planes steering mechanism, though
the NTSB found no evidence of
system, structure or engine mal-
function.
Investigator Lorenda Ward told
board members that the turn above
the East River could have been made
safely if the plane had begun the
turn farther east or banked harder
in the turn.
NTSB Chairman Mark Rosenker
said the pilots had a third option: If
they had risen briefly into restricted
air space above the Manhattan sky-
line, theyd be alive today to explain
why they had to do that.
NTSB investigators said the pilots
apparently did not factor in a 13-
knot wind, pushing the plane toward
Manhattan as it turned.
As the plane drifted toward
Manhattan, the pilot sought to cor-
rect the turn but instead lost alti-
tude, possibly because the engine
stalled, the investigator Ward said.
The increase in bank angle was
too late, Ward said.
Lidle, a 34-year-old right-hander,
died days after finishing the base-
ball season. Investigators have had
surprisingly little hard evidence to
go on in reviewing the accident that
killed him.
The global positioning device
and cockpit display unit were too
badly damaged to provide any
information. There was no cockpit
voice recorder because they are not
required in small, privately owned
planes.
