The University of Kansas
Alumni Association announced
yesterday that an anonymous
donor gave the University $10
million to fund a building and
start a new science department
devoted to the research and study
of the theory of intelligent design.
The building/department still
have to be approved by the Board
of Regents and Chancellor
Robert Hemenway. If given the
green light this would create the
first science department of its
kind at any accredited university
in the United States. According
to the current plans, the building
would stand where the
Multicultural Resource Center
currently is located. The MRC is
already scheduled to move into
the expansion of the Kansas
Union between the Union and
the Unions parking garage in
August 2006.
If plans go smoothly, crews
could demolish the old MRC
building and start construction
on the new building as soon as
summer 2006. An early design
shows a three-story building with
classrooms on the first level, a
church on the second level and
research labs and offices on the
third level.
This is a glorious day which
proves science and religion do
not have to be opposites, but can
study and learn from one anoth-
er, Reverend Paul Brown of the
First Divinity Church of God said
in a phone interview. Intelligent
design will finally be taught and
scrutinized with the same scien-
tific tools that evolution has been.
Maybe this can finally allow sci-
entists to come to a conclusion
based on science and not on their
own biases against Christianity.
The design shows the building
would have a 20-foot-tall statue
of praying hands at the base of
the entrance, which the donor
requested, saying it represented
all scientists who pray that man
will one day find the real truth
about its past.
I think it is a good idea,
Robert Biggums, Hutchinson
sophomore, said. I always hear
all this talk about all this proof
about evolution and how studies
confirm it, but they always use big
confusing words like primordial
and environmental adaptation.
The Bible explains it in two sim-
ple words, Adam and Eve. Ive
never seen evolution, but I have
seen the Bible.
We will be the laughing stock
of every other science department
in the country, Alan Gentry,
assistant professor of biology,
said. Im praying that this does
not go through, though not in the
same way that these people pray.
Theres so much real research
thats in desperate need of financ-
ing.
Thats just the small minded
simpleton reasoning weve come
to expect from those scientists,
Reverend Brown said in response
to Gentrys comment.
The chancellors office had no
comment when contacted yester-
day, though it is known that the
chancellor keeps a pair of praying
hands on his desk.

Gods coming to campus!
HIS NEW HOUSE
The University of Kansas has
again hired outside consultants
to help shape the schools
image. This time though, our
beloved Jayhawk mascot may
end up revealing a bare midriff
and a lower back tattoo.
HotProdukt, Inc., has come
on board the Universitys pub-
lic relations ship with plenty of
accomplishments under its
belt, including MTVs Real
World vs. Road Rules
Challenge series and musician
John Teshs 2002 Boo-Ya!
World Tour.
I wouldnt say we create
new personalities for clients,
but we sure overhaul the old
ones, HotProdukt co-founder
and chief operating officer
Lesley Franks said by phone
from the firms New York head-
quarters. Kansas students can
rest assured that we will add to
the schools existing image, not
take away from it.
Some disagree, including KU
Bookstore employee Rachel
Lyons, Salina sophomore, who
said, Theyll probably want us
to print Applebees logos on
exam blue books or something.
I dont trust them.
Consensus or not, plans are
under way for the Universitys
first HotProdukt-coordinated
lecture series to be called J-
Hizzle.
We wanted to give you guys
Flavor Flav and Mini-Me or
someone who would really get
a rise to start things off. But
then the administration asked
us to suggest someone a little
more academic, Franks said.
So, the inaugural lecture will
be given by author Randolph
Craysdale, whose 1999 book,
Go Ahead and Hit Me!, was a
best seller. Hes smart, but hes
got an edge for sure. The things
he says about carbon not really
being the basis of life on Earth
really get a rise out of people.
Craysdales opens his 2002
pamphlet Carbon,
Schmarbon! with:
So we should just believe
some scientists because they
did a few experiments? Give
me a break. If Im made of the
same stuff as charcoal, then Id
like to see someone try to
throw me in a grill and cook
hot dogs with me at the family
barbecue, Craysdale wrote.
Ill give you a good punch in
the gut before that happens,
buddy!
Craysdales confrontational
tone and pseudo-scientific
analysis have not made him
any friends in academic circles,
but University administration
officials remain open to
HotProdukts plans, despite
their apprehension.
We have faith in the overar-
ching goal of increased expo-
sure for the University of
Kansas, Tammy Weidrich, vice
provost for media relations,
said. I think students have to
take the good with the bad and
look toward the future. Im
from Milwaukee, and everyone
thought the Jeffrey Dahmer
case would bring shame to our
city. But then, 10 years later, we
got a new baseball stadium.
Following the above exam-
ple, even questionable media
attention may allow the
University to reap long-term
benefits. Students and faculty
will soon be able to voice their
approval or dismay at the
schools short-term plans and
Craysdale himself.

Following last weeks spring
break, Heidi Mellencall, Blue
Valley junior, told friends and
roommates that she raged in
Cancun, Mexico, for the past
week. She admitted yesterday
that she in fact spent her break
at home at her parents house.
I couldnt believe it, Staci
Bettendorf, Chicago junior and
Mellencalls friend, said. Shes
so tan and she talked about
being in a wet T-shirt contest.
She said she hooked up with
Fat Joe.
Mellencall came clean, saying
that she went to a tanning salon
every other day to give herself a
bronze, spring-break glow.
I actually did hook up with
Fat Joe, but he works at the
Subway around the corner from
my parents, Mellencall said.
She admitted that most of her
Cancun stories came from half-
hour segments which aired on
MTVs Spring Break series.
She told us she was a con-
testant on 50 Cents Spring
Break Candy Shop, whatever
that means, Mellencalls moth-
er Judy said. She doesnt even
like sweets.
Mellencall told friends that
she met Beyonc and that she
seemed really smart. She also
said Rob Schneider was better
looking in person.
We should have figured it
out then, friend Heather
Stevens said.
Mellencall tried to emulate the
Cancun spring break she had
hoped for by not bathing regular-
ly, drinking excessively and act-
ing slutty, which she said includ-
ed entering a wet T-shirt contest
in downtown Kansas City, Mo.
I really was gross,
Mellencall said. I woke up
most mornings sweating booze.
I let a guy named Fat Joe do
tequila shots out of my belly
button because he gave me
extra Subway stamps, and I was
in a wet T-shirt contest with five
ladies my moms age who had
more scars than teeth.

Election Day Message
No, we swear Yellow Bike was a success until
everybody started stealing the bikes.
We are the world, We are the children,
We are the ones who make a brighter day, so lets
start giving ...
Just because Vision and Lord Wads were complete
failures doesnt mean we will be, too.
Hi there. You don't know me
personally, though you might
have driven by one of my summer
mansions before and asked,
What kind of person can afford
that kind of place?
Well, Ill tell you what kind of
person: Me. And you know how I
made all that money? By charging
students like you hundreds of dol-
lars for textbooks.
Oh sure, theres something
written on those pages, probably
something that your professor
told you is important to learn.
Well, Im going to let you in on a
little secret: I really dont know or
care whats on those pages.
Sometimes we spellcheck them,
but usually not. Half that stuff is
made up anyways. Lets stop talk-
ing about textbooks. I dont spend
much time on them.
In fact, I would say I spend 10
percent of my time working on
textbooks and the other 90 per-
cent swimming in my big vault of
money. Let me tell you its the
life! What? Do I hear you com-
plaining? Are you questioning
me?
Bam, I just raised the prices 20
bucks. You know I could raise
prices, and you would still pay
them.
Besides, why are you upset? Its
just daddys dinero anyways. Oh?
Whats that? You have to work
two jobs just to pay for school?
You really cant afford it? Well
that's too bad. I have to go to
work, too. Though at my work, I
sit at a gold table with the text
execs, shouting out random prices
and deciding if you would pay
them. The answer of course is yes,
but still it always gets a big laugh
when someone shouts out a num-
ber like $7,332. I imagine you
going without food for a semester
in order to scrape together money
to buy one book. Oh, thats a deep
belly laugh. That one always gets
me.
Im sorry, what were we talking
about again? Oh, about me laugh-
ing to the bank. Actually thats not
entirely true. I never actually go
into the bank.
I just wait outside in my stretch
limo while my two man-child
assistants wheel the money in on
wheelbarrows. The laughing part
though is correct sometimes for
hours. Whenever Im feeling
down I just think about some out-
rageous deed weve done. Like
the philosophy book we put out
last semester that was 80 percent
pictures we took off the Internet.
The price? $220. Thats right, 220
big ones. Thats more than 90 per-
cent of what philosophy majors
will make a year after they gradu-
ate.
Oh, the laughs.
Editor is a Lawrence
resident with oodles and
oodles of cash.
Actually I do laugh all the way to the bank
Legislators in Kansas decid-
ed to kick queers while theyre
down this week. Conservatives
and religious leaders proposed
an addition to the gay marriage
ban, on which the public will
vote Tuesday.
Because our conservative
religious stronghold will be at the
polls anyway, we may as well try
to wipe out the gay population
altogether, said Sen. Phil
Journey, (R-Haysville).
Wednesday, Journey, along
with other conservatives and
religious leaders, said that a ban
on gay marriage was not enough.
He proposed a six-step plan to
eliminate homosexuals called the
Gays Go to Straight Camp Act. A
Citadel-trained task force would
round up all gays and lesbians in
Kansas and take them to a camp
where they could be corrected,
Journey said. For now the plan
focuses on gay men.
My plan would not only elim-
inate the gay population, but also
help the economy by creating
thousands of jobs, Journey said.
For homosexuals to be
released back into society, they
will have to pass six rigorous tests
including fashion, hunting, fish-
ing, beer-guzzling, baseball and
scratching/crotch adjustments.
Prada, Gucci and Louis Vuitton
would be stripped from all gay
mens closets, Journey said.
Each male camper would wear
a uniform composed of an
adjustable baseball cap, a
NASCAR tank top, dark blue
sweat pants and hiking boots.
Flannel button-downs would be
distributed during cold weather.
We have to get them used to
dressing normal, said the Rev.
Jerry Johnston, pastor of First
Family Church in Overland Park.
The Reverend proposed setting
aside a wildlife reserve for the
hunting segment. Even if bucks
are not in season, their deaths will
serve the greater cause, he said.
God wanted man to be master
over animals didnt he? Johnston
said. I think our Savior would
agree that this is a worthy cause.
The reserve would also be used
for fishing. The homosexuals will
have to catch and clean a bass no
shorter than 28 inches.
Proponents agree that beer-guz-
zling is a valuable part of both
hunting and fishing. Baseball, the
next test, is considered one of
most important.
Its called Americas pasttime
for a reason, Journey said, Well
juice them up with roids if we have
to, as long as they can hit a freaking
baseball when they leave.
While the topic of baseball was
on the floor, several sports fans
brought up the importance of
butt-scratching and adjusting
oneself, so the Legislature consid-
ered adding a clause to include
those behaviors.
Liberals led by Rep. Paul Davis
(D-Lawrence) called the plan
ludicrous.
Were setting America back
another 50 years, Davis said.
Doesnt the Bible say that God
loves all people?
Conservatives said because
they had the majority, they did
not expect to have difficulty pass-
ing the amendment.
Liberals threatened to move
to Canada when Bush was re-
elected, Journey said. In time
they will conform.

Dear Movie Guy,
Man, Easy Rider is so
trippy. What were Dennis
Hopper and Peter Fonda
smoking?
Buzzed in Bonner Springs
Dear Buzzed,
Shortly after the films
release Hopper said, We
smoked hashish, right out of
the peace pipe. Chief
Hummingbird flew down on
the back of a griffin and
smoked us all out. I remem-
ber Jack Nicholson and
Gen. George Armstrong
Custer playing darts in the
back of a bar in San
Antonio. The rest is hazy.
Dear Movie Guy,
Growing up, my favorite
movie was The
Godfather. I especially
liked the part where the
Hollywood producer wakes
up with the stallions head in
his bed. Was that a real stal-
lions head in that scene or
was it a fake one?
Remembering in Russell
Dear Remembering,
The head belonged to
Tony the Horse, the notori-
ous hit man. Tony worked
for the Tataglia brothers,
who sent him to kill Luca
Brasi on the night of Connie
Corleones wedding. The
four-legged assassin, who
had been seen drinking
heavily at the Corleone
estate that afternoon, fell
down a flight of stairs while
on his way up to Lucas
apartment. Luca shot the
horse, hacked off his head
and mailed it to Hollywood.
Dear Movie Guy,
When I watch The
Empire Strikes Back, Im
always impressed by the
puppet work in the scenes
with Yoda. Was that a chal-
lenge for the filmmakers?
Impressed in Iola
Dear Impressed,
George Lucas threatened
to fire Yoda twice on that
picture. He used The Force
to make the crew forget
about scenes he didnt want
to shoot. Yoda, though a
formidable Jedi master, is
not a professional actor. He
keeps humping my leg
between takes, Luke
Skywalker said at the time.
Yoda replied, Insolent, my
young Padawan is. Not
surprisingly, Lucas chose to
create a digital Yoda for the
new Star Wars films.
Dear Movie Guy,
My wife thinks Frodo and
Sam have a homosexual
relationship in The Lord of
the Rings. I think this is one
of the greatest platonic male
friendships in movie history.
Whos right?
Platonic in Prairie Village
Dear Platonic,
Your wifes right Frodo
and Sam are all about hob-
bit love.

Golden
tournament
W
in or lose, Rich Clarkson
enjoys every Final Four, and
he hasnt missed the NCAA
mens basketball tournament in 47
years.
As thousands of fans witness the
winning shot of the championship
game, Clarkson captures the coaches
and teams reactions to the final buzzer
on film.
But then again, thats all just part of
a days work.
For more than 50 years, the 1956
graduate has worked his way to the top
of the photography business.
When Clarkson captures the memo-
rable moments at this weekends Final
Four in St. Louis, his 50th tournament
shoot, the 72-year-old Lawrence native
wont be surprised if photographers are
capturing his own movements through
their telephoto lenses.
If another journalist or photogra-
pher exists who has worked 50 Final
Fours, nobody knows about it,
Clarkson said.
Hes one of a kind guy, said Bill
Snead, Lawrence Journal-World sen-
ior editor. I dont know anyone else
like him.
As a photographer for the Lawrence
Journal-World and The Topeka
Capital Journal, Clarkson mentored
Snead for nine years. Clarkson has
established himself as a taskmaster of
perfection, but he takes pride in teach-
ing young photojournalists the art of
photography, Snead said.
Because of the experiences of his last
50 years, Clarkson said he would never
get tired of basketball. The easy walk-
up atmosphere has made the Final
Four more enjoyable than the
Superbowl and the World Series,
which he has covered several times.
I just love college basketball, he
said. I think its one of the best games.
I think the Final Four during the years
that Ive been doing it has developed
into a premier sports event.
Clarkson continuing his career at his
age has impressed Snead, but Clarkson
said he has cut back on the number of
sporting events he covers. Clarkson
photographed about 20 sporting events
this past year, but he used to cover
about 100 events per year, he said.
Now he personally covers track and
field events and the Final Four because
he enjoys those events the most.
Along the way to national promi-
nence, Clarkson has worked for sever-
al newspapers and magazines, includ-
ing the Lawrence Journal-World and
The Topeka Capital-Journal,
National Geographic and Sports
Illustrated.
Clarkson resides in Denver where he
owns a photography company that
covers all 88 NCAA championships,
and the pro teams the Denver Broncos
and the Colorado Rockies.
A giant of an opportunity
Clarksons passion for photography
began as an activity for the yearbook at
Liberty Memorial High School now
Lawrence High before it trans-
formed into one of the most prominent
photography careers in the country.
By his senior year of high school,
Clarkson had snapped shots of KU
football and basketball games as a free-
lance photographer.
His ability did not go unnoticed. He
received a personal invitation to the
1952 Final Four in Seattle, his first,
from basketball coach Forrest Phog
Allen.
Clarkson enjoyed covering KU
sports, but it would not lead him to his
dream job at Sports Illustrated, a new
magazine at the time.
That changed when basketball
standout Wilt Chamberlain arrived on
campus, shortly after Clarkson gradu-
ated from the University in 1956.
As a freelance photographer,
Clarkson took Chamberlains picture at
the beginning of Chamberlains fresh-
man season. He took several pictures
of the star dunking and jumping, but
Clarkson said he couldnt depict just
how tall Chamberlain stood.
Clarkson realized a seated shot of
Wilt would maximize the effect of the
stars high waist and long legs to accu-
rately depict his towering seven-foot
frame.
I thought, gee, if I could just get him
to sit down in one of these folding
chairs and tie his shoes, that might
make him look taller, Clarkson said.
And it did.
Clarkson sent several 8-by-10 copies
of the pictures to Sports Illustrated in
New York.
The photo editor at the time, Jerry
Ashter, received Clarksons photos on
the Monday before he planned to send
a photographer to Lawrence for a piece
on Chamberlain. The magazine used
Clarksons photo and never sent a pho-
tographer to Lawrence.
I thought that was the epitome of
success at that time, Clarkson said.
Three months later, an editor at the
magazine gave him his first assignment.
What was supposed to be a single
photo from a Kansas vs. iowa State
basketball game became a six-page
spread after another story fell through.
Three years later, the magazine
selected Clarkson to cover all basket-
ball games for Sports Illustrated.

LEGAL LETDOWN
The University of Kansas
School of Law dropped 37 spots
in the upcoming US News and
World Reports Americas Best
Graduate Schools.
The school appeared as No.
63 last year and slid to No. 100.
Decreases in employment
rates and an increase in student
versus teacher ratio are the rea-
sons behind the drop, according
to the report.
Those numbers can be mis-
leading and students have noth-
ing to worry about, said Stephen
McAllister, law school dean.
Faculty who are away on sab-
batical were left out of the ratio,
McAllister said. At least three
professors were away when the
magazine gathered its informa-
tion. Two of those have returned
since and have resumed teach-
ing.
Ranking numbers suggest the
school has about 16 students
per faculty member.
McAllister estimated that
there were 520 law students for
36 faculty members, which
equals about 14 students per
faculty member.
One of the two employment
categories cited that 43 percent
of KU law school students were
employed at graduation in 2003.
But only a portion of alumni
responded to the survey, which
skews numbers, McAllister said.
The question is whether the
law school needs to do some-
thing else, he said.
We could coerce them if they
choose not to respond, he said.
Maybe they cant pick up their
diploma if they dont respond.
Data is also dated, McAllister
said.
The data reflects employment
rates of the 2003 class in
February 2004, McAllister said.
For the class of 2004, the
employment rate as of February
2005 was 90 percent, McAllister
said.
That data will be in the April
2006 but not April 2005, edition
because US News and Word
Report only collects data in the
fall.
McAllister speculated that
the bad economy was another
reason for the drop-off in jobs.

enough to get those numbers,

Law school drops in

IFC denies
first appeal
The Interfraternity Council
unanimously voted to uphold
the decision to expel Phi Kappa
Theta fraternity from the
University of Kansas yesterday.
Phi Kappa Theta, 1111 W.
11th St., appealed to the execu-
tive board of the IFC Tuesday,
on grounds that its punishment
was too severe.
The IFC expelled the chapter
after it had an unregistered
party at its house on Feb. 19,
where police confiscated 16
kegs of beer, $517 in cash and
signs that advertised the party.
The IFC filed 24 charges
against the fraternity for
recruitment and alcohol policy
violations.
We felt that a more lenient
punishment would not have the
intended effect to curb the
behavior for this chapter, Scott
Shorten, IFC president, said.
The chapter has 30 days to
appeal for a second and final
time.
The general assembly of the
IFC, which consists of a repre-
sentative and the president of
each chapter, would conduct
the final hearing.
Shorten said the IFC would
be open to a second appeal.
Matt Moreno, Phi Kappa
Theta president and Wichita
sophomore, would not say
whether the fraternity would
attempt a second appeal.
A decision will be made after
his visit to the national chapter
this weekend in Indianapolis.

Rich Clarkson, 1956 graduate, took this
photo of Wilt Chamberlain, then a
freshman at the University of Kansas, in
1956. Clarkson realized a shot of
Chamberlain seated would accurately
depict the basketball stars high waist and
long legs that composed his towering
seven-foot body. This photo received a
spot in Sports Illustrated.

Rumors are wrong;
Jocasta clothes stay on
The rumors floating around the
department of English arent true. No
one is naked in the English Alternative
Theatres production of Michele
Fabiens full-length play Jocasta.
Some people in the department
might be sensitive about partial nudity,
but the showing of skin is comparable
to a beach movie, said Zacory
Boatright, Topeka senior and stage
manager.
However, Jocasta, a retelling of
classical Greek playwright Sophocles
Oedipus Rex from the viewpoint of
the queen and mother, has intimate
scenes with the actors wearing revealing
costumes. Oedipus, the Greek myth
where Oedipus kills his father and then
marries Jocasta, his mother, is taught in
freshman English classes.
The nudity rumor might have origi-
nated from an e-mail sent to teachers
explaining that this version contained
more mature material than whats
taught in class, said Paul Lim, director
of the play and English professor.
Its hot, its sexy and very now,
Boatright said.
The theatre is producing Fabiens ver-
sion of the myth so students who are
studying the tale can see it come to life,
Lim said. It will also inspire classroom
discussion and give a new perspective of
the play, he said.
So often, modern audiences shy
away from Greek theatre, said Dianne
Reyner, Lawton, Okla., graduate stu-
dent, who plays Jocasta in the play. I
think it will enhance peoples under-
standing from it.
Fabiens play was written in 1981 and
was intended to be a one-man show, but
Lim adapted it to include a five-person
cast featuring a younger and older
Jocasta and Oedipus and a narrator.
When Lim read the script, he said he
heard five voices in his head from the
lines.
Making it into a five-person play
shows the conflict between the charac-
ters better than the one-person version,
Boatright said.
One example is that the play shows
what actually happens to Jocasta,
whereas she was off-stage in Sophocles
script.
In Sophocles play, Jocasta is seen
briefly and kills herself, Lim said.
Fabiens play is rooted with modern-
feminist themes and female desire, Lim
said.
Its about how men look at women
and how women should be allowed to
look at men, Lim said. Its more
acceptable in society for an older man
to date a younger woman, but its
frowned upon for an older woman to
date a younger man.

The continuation of the fraternitys
national charter will be discussed. The
national board of trustees will decide if
the charter will be repealed.
Mike Pillshaw, risk management
chairman for the IFC executive board
and Phi Kappa Theta member, was not
involved in the decision because his
membership in Phi Kappa Theta.
Pillshaw said he was disappointed in
the decision.
I was just shocked because we were
the first house to ever get expelled from
the University, Pillshaw said.
Pillshaw said his position with the
IFC was in jeopardy after a Tuesday
meeting in which his position on the
council was questioned.
He said the IFC could vote on his
risk management position during the
next meeting on April 12. He said it
would take a two-thirds vote of the
IFC to kick him off the commission.
Shorten said Pillshaws position
remained safe at this point unless he
had some sort of involvement with the
unregistered party. Shorten could not,
however, confirm a decision on
Pillshaws position next week.
Members of Phi Kappa Theta will
not have their house next year and are
not allowed to pledge another fraterni-
ty. Pillshaw said that many people
from the 35-member fraternity would
move to Highpointe, 2001 W. Sixth St.,
apartments next year.
It was a house decision, Pillshaw
said. Wed all like to stay closely knit.
Jeremy Schuyler, Lawrence fresh-
man, said it was this type of brother-
hood that convinced him to join the
house. And while he doesnt agree
with the IFCs decision, he is glad fra-
ternity members will remain close.
Its kind of a downer that all this
stuff has happened all at once, he
said. Everybody is trying to make
amends and make things back to
where it was.
He said the fraternity would try to
remain involved with its philanthropy,
the Childrens Miracle Network.
The fraternity traditionally hosts a
capture the flag event for the organiza-
tion in April. Moreno said he would
like to see the event happen this year
despite the fraternitys struggles.
Responsibility of the infraction
shouldnt be placed solely on Phi
Kappa Theta, Schuyler said. The IFC
should enforce policies equally as
strict with all chapters, he said.
He said, however, that all members
of Phi Kappa Theta had an equal roll
in the violations.
We cant really cast blame on any-
one. Were all responsible, he said.
Its just as much Matts problem as it
is my problem.

Professor researches diversity
A University of Kansas researcher
is gaining national attention after he
conducted a study based on other
peoples work.
Val Smith, professor of ecology
and evolutionary biology, found that
phytoplankton, microscopic plants
that live in water, tend to be more
diverse in larger habitats. His
research supports the theory that
species diversity is determined by
habitat size.
To reach this conclusion, he com-
pared past research to see if a basic
rule of ecology could be applied to
his studies.
During the course of his research,
he spent more time in the library
than the laboratory. His paper,
Phytoplankton Species Richness
Scales Consistently From
Laboratory Microcosms to The
Worlds Oceans, was published in
the March 22 issue of the
Proceedings of the National
Academy of Sciences.
While Smith did use research data
from similar past experiments, he
used data unrelated to the research,
such as biological surveys of the
Great Lakes and Lake Baikal in
Asia.
He also conducted several of his
own small scale experiments in his
laboratory.
After gathering all the informa-
tion, he synthesized it. The research
provides reasoning that small closed
experiments can be used in research-
ing environments, he said.
A collaborator and colleague of
Smith, Brian Foster, said this type of
research, called meta-analysis, was
not uncommon. Studies in the med-
ical field can involve researchers
analyzing primary research and ask-
ing bigger questions.
Using phytoplankton as the
model provided a universal applica-
tion, Foster, an assistant ecology
and evolutionary biology professor
said.
Phytoplankton are cosmopoli-
tan, theyre able to get around and
live in a variety of habitats, he said.
Smith began his research after he
was asked to join the National
Center for Ecological Analysis and
Synthesis several years ago.
As technology has improved,
researchers like Smith have attempt-
ed to examine whether the rule
about habitat size controlling diver-
sity applied to phytoplankton.
Smith simply took the information
that was available and made sense
of it.
Now Smith hopes that a
researcher will investigate why this
rule exists.
It doesnt make sense that a body
the size of a water bottle and the
Arctic Ocean are ruled by the same
principle, he said.

Firefighters, police respond to
smoke in Allen Fieldhouse
As the competition for the NCAA champi-
onship heats up, so did Allen Fieldhouse.
Firefighters and police were called to the field-
house at about 1:30 p.m. yesterday after some-
one inside smelled smoke.
Mark Bradford, deputy fire chief, said one of
the air handling units in the southwest corner of
the third floor overheated and started smoking.
The smoking unit set off the fire alarms.
The number three air handling unit, which
coincidentally has a red no smoking sign
attached to it, is located right next to a storage
area filled with cardboard boxes, posters and
handouts.
There was no damage to the fieldhouse or
external damage to the unit.
This is the second time this year firefighters
have been called to the fieldhouse. A cardboard
box of potato chips caught fire in the fieldhouse
March 2.

Barbeque to raise scholarship
money for local parishioners
St. Johns Catholic Church, 1234 Kentucky St.,
will hold the third annual barbeque fundraiser in
honor of the Lisa Ramos Bland Memorial
Scholarship.
The event will take place Sunday, April 3 from
9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in the Parish Hall.
The cost is $8 for adults, $4 for children and
$20 for a family of four.
The barbeque will help to raise part of the
$2000 for a scholarship for students who are
members of any Douglas County parish.
Bland was killed by a 16-year-old drunken
driver on Sept. 16, 2000.
I think its important for people to go to the
event and remember her, Jim Bland, Lisas wid-
ower, said. At the same time it benefits stu-
dents who will get money for the scholarship.
Additional money for the scholarship would
come from outside donations, Bland said.

KUnited fined for violating
campaigning regulations
KUnited was found guilty for campaigning
inside residence halls illegally at a Election
Commission violation hearing yesterday.
The coalition was fined $25, as the action was
determined to be a minor violation. Two mem-
bers of the coalition went door-to-door giving out
coalition posters and buttons for residences to put
in their rooms. The commission found Lance
Mall, KUnited member, not guilty for soliciting;
however, it found the coalition as a whole guilty
for supporting the campaigning. Jack Connor, a
Student Voice member who filed the complaint,
said the punishment should have been stricter.
When the person gets off like he did, they
will continue to do it all day, Connor, Overland
Park freshman, said. Campaigning in the resi-
dence halls has been a problem in the past, and
this will not stop it.
Nick Sterner, presidential candidate for
KUnited, had no comment on the commissions
decision.
Daniel Berk
said Josh Hernandez, Boulder, Colo.,
law student, said.
The school knows it has good pro-
fessors and good programs and have
been resting on that for a while,
Hernandez said. They need to play
the game like other schools. If they
dont, it will make us look bad.
Hernandez isnt worried about the
drop in rank affecting his career.
Its one of the best regional
schools, Hernandez said. The area
doesnt have much else to offer.
A lot of apprehension exists among
law students and nobody really knows
whats going to happen on the job
market, said Chris Schulz, Seguin,
Texas, law student.
Im trying to get a job right now
and its very stressful, Schulz said.
Theres something wrong with you if
youre not concerned.
McAllister put together an open
forum at noon yesterday to address
student concerns with the ranking
drop.
He estimated that 80 to 100 stu-
dents attended. He said he told stu-
dents that the quality of education was
no different because of the new rank-
ing.
It wouldnt make sense for me
transfer because Ive built so many
friends here and the numbers dont
reflect the education Im getting here,
Schulz said.

Ahead of the game
Other professionals have said
Clarksons 50-year run in the field is
highlighted by the progress he has
continued to make.
If you do the same thing for 50
years, I dont know how you would get
out of bed, Snead said. To keep your
interest up, youve got to change.
And for a photographer who began
his career with a old-fashioned speed
graphics camera, technological advance-
ments have not slowed Clarkson down.
Clarkson was usually ahead of the
game when it came to technological
advancements in sports photography.
He was the first to put digital cameras
behind the backboard glass to capture
action shots around the hoop, said
Snead, who used to poke fun at
Clarksons idea.
I asked him if he had his Windex
to wipe down the board, he said.
But Snead said Clarkson never
feared trying a new technique.
For Clarkson, tournament time
poses the biggest challenges to main-
tain originality. Photographers often
think about more creative opportuni-
ties during the postseason because by
then people have seen many basket-
ball pictures, Clarkson said.
He knows from experience that
creativity could cause photographers
to miss the most important shot of the
game.
By the time you get to the cham-
pionship game at the Final Four,
youre making damn sure that you
arent taking one of those kinds of
gambles in the name of creativity,
Clarkson said.

Bob Johnsons article today got me so pumped that I
chugged a keg of beer and had sex with 10 women.

To all the Kerry supporters, take down your signs. Bush

won. Get over it.

The day after Christmas and Easter earthquakes hit

Indonesia. Jesus is coming back.

I would like to quote Ann Coulter. She said that you are
stupider than I thought you were. Could someone point
out to this lady that stupider is not a word, that its
actually more stupid?

Bill Self is the greatest recruiter in

college basketball.

Is Russell Robinson really gonna

transfer?

Hey J.R., watch out, Chalmers is

gonna take your number next fall.

To the person who made the com-

ment about stealing iPods, I was
just wondering if you wanted to
team up, because I want one, too.

To the idiot who thinks hes going to steal my iPod, you

better watch out for me.

Hey 34D, I wish I could help you out, but Im a 38D, so at

least I feel your pain. Burn away.

Pick me, pick me, Im a 34D!

So theres nothing hotter than seeing guys with roller

bags around campus.

SACKS PERSPECTIVE THE CROSSWORD CAN WAIT
HERES TO YOU
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Several years ago, I watched a family mem-
ber die, and I know that life and death arent
separated by a bright line. He moved closer to
the end for weeks in the hospital, and he went
from there to a nursing home because the doc-
tors knew he only had weeks left to live. He
drifted further away through the day before he
died. Overnight he went from tired but conver-
sational to comatose and we knew it was a mat-
ter of hours, not weeks. His breathing slowed,
and one pause between breaths didnt end. The
death certificate says when the doctor stopped
listening for a heart beat, but he was reallygone
the night before.
Theresa Marie Schiavo, who died yesterday,
went through an even slower transition. Bulimia
resulted in a heart attack, which caused brain
damage and a coma. For 15 years, her brain
atrophied, and her husband, family and friends
watched her drift away from them, moored to
this world by a feeding tube.
Death isnt simple. Feeding tubes and life sup-
port can stop a persons descent into death,
pausing them as if in mid-air. Sometimes doc-
tors can pull someone back. In other cases, as
with Mrs. Schiavos, they cant. Drawing a bright
line in that gray area is complicated, and differ-
ent people will make different decisions. Mrs.
Schiavo made her decision and expressed it to
her husband and their friends. We should
respect that, just as we should respect other
peoples wish to draw that line elsewhere.
Like most Americans, she didnt want to per-
sist when her mind was gone, and the courts
were right to respect that wish.
People who choose differently deserve and
should receive the same protections.
As someone who has been through this
process, I resent attacks by conservatives on a
caring husband. This decision cant have been
easy for any member of the family, and the
attacks on the Schiavos marriage are inappro-
priate, as is the attempt by certain authoritarian
conservatives to force their views on Mrs.
Schiavo and the nation.
Let Mrs. Schiavos legacy be a sincere nation-
al discussion about the dying process. Let her
be remembered through compassionate laws
that help families confront the most dispiriting
choices. Please, dont let her legacy be the divi-
sion and strife that have been sown around her.
Let her rest in peace.
Joshua Rosenau
Lawrence graduate student
Ecology and evolutionary biology
In three years of attending
this University, I cant think
of any time Ive been
ashamed to do so.
I cant think of any time
Ive looked around at my
fellow students and felt
utterly embarrassed. Ive
also never walked out on a
speech, play, movie or any
kind of presentation at the University of
Kansas.
Then, on Tuesday night, I saw Ann Coulter.
My friend and I watched the spectacle for less
than a half hour and decided that if we wanted to
see something like that again, wed go to the cir-
cus next time. But this wasnt because of Coulter.
No, I knew what to expect from her. I knew shed
be specious, illogical and at times downright hate-
ful. I had no idea that so many specious, illogical
and downright hateful liberal college students
would show up to prove her right when she called
liberals idiots.
These protesters in the back shouted, yelled,
threatened violence, laughed inappropriately and
acted like complete morons at an academic lec-
ture attended by 1,800 people. No air of intelli-
gence left their mouths, just more yelling. Like try-
ing to kill a fly with a machine gun.
The people in the back of the auditorium were
pundits, and I mean that as the worst insult possi-
ble.
The pundit is devoid of critical thinking:
Pundits see a label and react. They are respon-
sible for the apathy that most college kids have
for politics. They yell until they think theyve
won. But when intelligent discussion is
replaced by blind loyalty, weve lost all sem-
blance of what our forefathers intended free
speech to evoke.
Those who fought for free speech intended for
people to be able to speak out against real injus-
tices, real social problems in the world, in an effort
to discern the most effective, utilitarian govern-
ment possible.
I think the people who founded our country,
nay, any proponent of virile democracy, would
have been sick to the stomach at Tuesday
nights speech. And I wish I could say it was just
one side.
I really wish I could say, Oh man, those
damned Republicans were being jerks! or Those
Democrats just wont stop complaining about
anything!
But Id be lying to you. I read the news arti-
cle in The University Daily Kansan on
Wednesday, and you would-
nt have had any clue how
obnoxious the protesters
were. You would have
thought it was business as
usual for a highly conserva-
tive speaker on a highly lib-
eral campus.
All this taking sides is
what stops our country
from progressing. There is, unfortunately, a
third party in America. These are the pundits.
By adhering to a system that promotes apathy,
they are taking away the most important reason
democracy was even created.
The people in the auditorium that identify
themselves as staunch Republicans had all their
suspicions confirmed last night about people that
identify themselves as staunch liberals. They
will now associate all liberals with the protesters
in the back of the auditorium, and consequently
disassociate them with any kind of progressive
discourse.
Now, do I agree with the protesters? Sure. I
dont think we should, according to Coulter, make
converting the Middle East to Christianity a mis-
sion of the military, and I dont think we should
bomb The New York Times. I dont think
Vietnam veterans that protested the war caused us
to lose said war. I mean, come on, shes crazy; lets
get that out of the way.
But the protesters in the back of the auditori-
um were equally as crazy, and I just hope they
realize they werent helping advance progressive
social changes by turning Coulters speech into a
circus.
If anything, it confirmed every Republican in
the Lied Centers suspicions that Democrats are
all a bunch of crazies, which is quite unfortunate,
because they should instead fight to be associated
with open-mindedness.
And anyone who hadnt drawn a side Tuesday
night will be turned off to politics altogether. And
a college kid who stays home instead of voting is
a victory for the conservatives; trust me.
So in closing, I want to make sure the protest-
ers on Tuesday night realize they didnt accom-
plish a damned thing.
All they did was make sure that Ann Coulter
remained controversial, made the $25,000 they
paid her seem worth it, and probably helped her
sell a ton more of her books.
Way to stick it to Ann Coulter, guys. Im sure
shes crying all the way to the bank.

Schiavo case misunderstood;
Life, death distinction not clear line
Everyone knows we have
a problem distinguishing just
what the separation between
church and state is in these
United States.
Often its hard to tell if a
separation even exists. There
really shouldnt be a problem
distinguishing between the
Ten Commandments and the
Constitution.
As the Supreme Court spends time deliberating
on whether statues or monuments of the Ten
Commandments can be placed on grounds of gov-
ernment buildings, Americans face another moral
dilemma.
It is certainly hard to argue that religion
plays no role in our govern-
ment. God is everywhere
these days in American
democracy. On the national
motto, the dollar bill, coins,
the pledge of allegiance and
even in the oath our
President takes to assume
office. You name it, hes
there.
So why all of a sudden is
there this question of
whether or not a higher
power should have a hand in
the laws of the land?
The presence of the Ten
Commandments near a gov-
ernment institution can be
offensive only if you let it be.
The great debate we have now is about letting the
theology of some dictate the lives of others.
We do face a grave danger in becoming a state
of discrimination by telling Americans who can
marry and who cannot. Even the fight to keep
stem cell research harnessed and at a minimum
based on personal beliefs threatens the ingenuity
of America.
Many question why it
would be such a bad thing at
all for everyone to have to
live by the Ten
Commandments. Outlined
in this sacred document are
indeed some of our countrys
most fundamental laws.
There still must be respect
though for the difference in opinion on the
authority rather than the law. Of course both God
and a government do not tolerate nor allow mur-
der, but if some do not believe in God as an
authority figure, they may just not follow his law.
There, we face a moral danger.
Aethiests and Christians have argued for years
as to why there should even
be a division between the
government and church.
While one believes they
deserve protection from the
other, one believes they
exert power over the other.
The Ten Commandments
is an actual object that just
may have the ability to unite
the two with common
beliefs in respect for each
human individual. Instead it
serves as one of the greatest
divides.
Tolerance really does
extend in two different
directions. While it is impor-
tant to understand and sup-
port followers of each religious background, it is
equally important to respect those with no reli-
gious background. But allowing basic rules of
humanity to offend you and frighten you is
unnecessary.

The Ten Commandments
serve as a moral code that
all humans should live by
and should not be a source
of contention about separa-
tion of church and state. It
shuld unite between athe-
ists and Christians.
Now batting .313 as a team,
the Jayhawk lineup consists of
seven starters hitting .300 or
better. Nebraska outscored
Kansas 24-14 in the series, but
the Jayhawks proved their
offensive ability by getting 27
hits against the Cornhuskers
29.
Junior outfielder Gus Milner
continues to lead the way from
the clean-up spot in the Kansas
lineup. Milner is batting .357
and leads the team with nine
doubles. He was one of only
two Jayhawks to hit a home run
against the Cornhuskers and
collected three RBI in his first
Big 12 series.
As Baty fills in for an injured
Ryne Price at second base,
freshman John Allman took the
opportunity to play Batys spot
in the outfield. Allman is cur-
rently hitting .391 and went 5-9
with two RBI in the Nebraska
series.
Junior outfielder A.J. Van
Slyke has had success at the
plate, hitting .320 and leading
the Jayhawks with 29 RBI.
If we swing the bats as well
as we did [against Nebraska] I
think we are capable of going in
there and winning two, Price
said.
On the mound, the Aggies
can expect to face tonights
scheduled starter Mike
Zagurski. The senior left-han-
der (4-2) has a 4.21 ERA and
struck out a team-high 62 bat-
ters this season.
In game one, junior right-
hander Kodiak Quick (7-2) may
see a couple of innings in relief.
He is holding batters to a .251
average and has a 3.29 ERA.
Junior right-handed closer Don
Czyz (2-1) will most likely see
significant time on the hill. In
his 31 innings of relief this sea-
son, Czyz has a 2.32 ERA and
37 strikeouts. As a staff, the
Kansas pitchers have a 3.87
ERA, just more than the Aggies
3.26.
With a 7-3 record at home,
Texas A&M faces a Kansas
team coming off a 7-6 victory
against Lamar. Compared to
Kansas .313 team batting aver-
age, Texas A&M is hitting just
.278 as a club.
At the plate, the Aggies have
been feeding off the momentum
of senior outfielder Andrew
Baldwins six-game hit streak.
During the streak, Baldwin is
hitting .583 and has eight RBI.
His game-deciding solo home
run in the seventh inning
against Lamar was his second
home run of the game and third
of the season.
Junior shortstop Cliff
Pennington, the best offensive
starter, is hitting .398 and leads
the Aggies in home runs (5) and
RBI (25).
On the mound, the Jayhawks
will likely face the Big 12s co-
pitcher of the week for week
four, sophomore lefty Jason
Meyer (5-1), who has a 3.35
ERA.
As the season enters the
must-win conference stretch,
Price said he knew what he
expected from his team.
Were trying to win five of
the nine series, he said of the
Big 12 schedule. If we win five
of nine during the course of the
year, well make the Big 12 tour-
nament and most likely the
NCAA tournament as well.
The first pitch is at 7 p.m. at
Olsen Field.

Kansas continues
losing streak
In a doubleheader against
Wichita State yesterday, the
Kansas softball team extended
its losing streak to four
games.
Kansas lost
the first game
5-4 in eight
innings,
instead of the
normal six,
and fell 7-3 in
the second
match-up.
In the first
game, the
Jayhawks
collected 10 hits, including a
home run over the left field
fence from Serena
Settlemier, junior pitcher and
co-captain, in the fourth
inning. But the Shockers
picked up two runs in the
eighth inning and picked up
the victory.
In the second game, the
Shockers rallied in the bottom
of the sixth. The team scored
five runs and gained a 7-3
lead, and the Jayhawks were
unable to come back.
Settlemier
The teams next game is
this weekend against Texas
A&M. The Jayhawks will play
the Aggies at 2 p.m. tomorrow
and at noon Sunday at
Arrocha Ballpark.

Home regatta to honor seniors
The Kansas womens rowing
team will host its first and last regat-
ta for the season tomorrow.
A barbeque celebrating Senior Day
will follow the races against Tulsa and
Drake at 2 p.m. on the Kansas River.
This years seniors are Rachel
Chapman, Kristy Hainer, Erin
Hennessey, LeAnna Kemp, Ashlea
Kramer and Crystal Reed.
For Hennessey, this meet brings
more than a senior celebration.
My dad is coming down from
Wyoming just to see me race, she
said. This will be the first race my
dad has ever seen.
Besides her parents, nine other
members of Hennesseys family will
attend the regatta.
This is a day that
she has waited for
since she started
competing more
than three years
ago, she said.
Its a happy and
sad event all at the
same time, she
said. It will be our
last home race, so
thats pretty sad.
Having friends and family attend
would also provide support for the
team, Hennessey said.
With any sport, its always nice to
have the home court advantage,
coach Rob Catloth said.
You always do well on your
home course, he said. The women
know the course pretty well now.
The Jayhawks matched up against
Tulsa and Drake last year in
Lawrence. All three teams started
their season at about the same time,
which was different compared to the
last regatta with No. 15 Texas, which
began racing well before spring break.
They have raced as much as we
have, assistant coach Jennifer
Myers said. This makes it an even
playing field.
Hennessey said she was focused
on the Jayhawks race, regardless of
the other teams positions on the
water and the thrill of racing at home.
We need to focus on rowing our
race, she said. Thats one of the
things our coach tells us. We keep
racing hard regardless of where the
other boats are.
Catloth said he wanted to see
progress.
Were looking forward to continue
our improvement, he said. Our race
against Texas wasnt bad, but it wasnt
perfect. We need to race down this
course, taking good, clean strokes.
After the race, Hennessey and the
other seniors will be eager to cele-
brate, but she wants the team to cel-
ebrate its victories as well.
I hope everyone can say they
gave 100 percent, she said. The
team should be able to say that they
paid attention to technique and what
weve learned in practices. We need
to remember all the things that weve
been taught in previous weeks.
The races tomorrow will include
the Varsity Eight, Novice Eight, two
Varsity Four races, and two Novice
Four races.

Kansas starting to peak at right time
The Kansas womens tennis team
(4-9, 3-2 Big 12) has won its last two
matches over conference opponents,
Oklahoma and Oklahoma State.
Kansas will get an opportunity for a
third Big 12 victory tomorrow
against Baylor (14-4, 5-0 Big 12).
Kansas is undefeated on the road
in the Big 12.
The confidence level and the
competitiveness are there, coach
Amy Hall-Holt said.
The improvement of junior
Christine Skoda, who ranks second
in the conference with a 4-1 singles
mark, has been one of the reasons
for Kansas success.
Skoda began the spring season 0-
5 and now is considered the
Jayhawks top all-around threat.
Im feeling more confident in my
shots, Skoda said.
Hall-Holt said Skoda, one of two
upperclassmen on the squad, had
started to fill a leadership role.
Shes going to keep on taking her
game to a higher level, Hall-Holt
said.
The other junior,
Luiza Loureiro,
who has battled
back pain this sea-
son, has assisted
Skoda with team
leadership.
I like to cheer
for my teammates,
Loureiro said. I
can be really loud.
Loureiro, who has solely per-
formed as a doubles player, said she
expected to play this weekend.
I think I can go, Loureiro says.
Its painful, but Im going.
Freshman Stephanie Smith has
reeled off two straight singles victo-
ries. She has been praised by coach-
es for her baseline game and aggres-
sive competitiveness.
Baylor earned its highest-ever
ranking in the program history earli-
er this week under the leadership of
third-year coach Joey Scrivano.
Our team has improved a lot with
their attitude, Scrivano said. We
want to be excellent out on the court
no matter who our opponent is.
Scrivano, who led Baylor to the
Big 12 Conference championship in
his first season in 2003, has a talented
player in freshman Zuzana
Zemenova.
Zemenova, the only Big 12 player
ranked in the top 25 nationally, has
won 12 of her last 13 singles matches.
We knew it would be just a matter
of time before she made an impact
before the national scene, Scrivano
said.
Standout talent Klara Zrustova, a
sophomore from the Czech
Republic, has seen action at both
the number three and four singles
position for Baylor.
Zrustova has won 14 straight sin-
gles matches, 13 of which were
straight-set victories.
She puts a lot of pressure on her
opponents to beat her, Scrivano
said. I dont see anything changing
with her.
Sophomore Carolin Walter, who
began the season ranked No. 31 in
the country, saw her ranking slip as
the NCAA slapped the German
native with a 13-match suspension
for competing at the collegiate level
with club tennis experience overseas.
The NCAA recognizes club tennis
as professional, which is not
allowed in the collegiate ranks.
Since her return, Walter is 2-2.
Scrivano said his team wouldnt
underestimate Kansas.
They are one of the up and com-
ing teams in the Big 12, Scrivano
said. They are starting to peak at
the right time.
The match also will reunite a
coach and his former player. Kansas
Assistant coach Frank Polito, while
at Eastern Michigan, recruited and
coached Scrivano in 1993.
I have a lot of respect for him. I
wish him all the best, Scrivano said.
Polito said he remembered
Scrivano as a serve and volley play-
er who worked hard.
The coaches faced off while
Polito served as an interim head
coach at Ohio State, and Scrivano
was in his first season at Baylor.
I am 1-0 against him right now,
Polito said. Hopefully, I can keep
that streak alive.
Kansas will face Baylor at 1 p.m. in
Waco, followed by a Sunday match-
up against Texas Tech in Lubbock.

Todays Birthday. You have wit, charm
and lots of energy this year. Thats
good, because youll get to fight for
what you want at home, at work and
in your relationships. Itll be fun.
Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is a 7.
Youre hot, but it's not a good idea to
talk back to authorities. Use your wis-
dom, not your ability, to make wise-
cracks, and get your point across.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) Today is a 6.
More research is required before you
make your next big move. Dont head
down an unknown path before you
find out whats at the other end.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) Today is a 7.
Youd rather run and play with your
friends, and you may get to do some
of that. There are bills to be paid, how-
ever. Dont overlook responsibilities.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) Today is a 6.
Your reward for a job well done may
be an argument. Be ready to defend a
decision youve recently made. Cite
experience and history.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is an 8.
Work interferes with travel for the next
few days. The orders youve been
given may change. The job takes
longer than expected. Reschedule lib-
erally.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Today is a 7.
Give financial matters your attention
first, especially concerning your home.
After that, youll find it easier to relax
with the people you love, as always.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Today is a 6.
Some household projects are best left
to professionals, but some you can do.
Practice figuring out which are which,
carefully.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Today is a 7.
Youre into hands-on education, rather
than intellectual games. You want to
know whether or not actions are effec-
tive, and if they are, how to do them.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Today is a
7. Make a connection with people you
love, dont put it off any longer.
Financial troubles will fade later in the
month, dont worry about that now.
But dont go shopping, either.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today is a
6. Youre feeling feisty, but take care.
The family may have already made
plans that arent the same as yours.
Better check with them before you
make reservations.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Today is a 7.
A group of friends provide you with a
brilliant new idea. This project requires
work on your part, however, and con-
centration. Youll have to excuse your-
self from the festivities.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Today is a 7.
A recent disruption loses importance,
as you and your friends discuss the
next objective. Make sure to keep the
costs down, theres more coming after
this.

Fans should
forgive Roy,
move on
Let me just say, Ill never be a North Carolina fan.
I throw up in my mouth a little bit every time I see
powder blue and white put together, and when I see
a kid wearing UNC gear around campus, my first
impulse is to punch him in the back of the head. I
rooted for Duke in both of its match-ups with North
Carolina this year. I stood up and cheered every time
Blue Devil senior J.J. Redick hit a three-pointer, even
though I felt dirty and confused about it afterward.
I chucked beer cozies at the TV for every Dickie
V. diatribe about the unparalleled greatness of Roy
Williams and the Heels and
Tobacco Road, and at the begin-
ning of this years tourney, when I
saw Kansas and North Carolina
both placed in the Syracuse
regional, I fantasized about the
Jayhawks whooping the Tar Heels
in the Elite Eight.
But Bucknell killed those fan-
tasies before they had a chance to
be realized, and North Carolina
kept on winning. Somewhere
amidst all this, I had a revelation: North Carolina, or
more specifically, Roy Williams, deserves a National
Championship, and its time to stop hating the Tar
Heels.
Its been two years since Roy Williams bolted
back home to North Carolina, leaving a heartbroken
Lawrence and a crushed-like-a-dove Al Bohl in his
wake. Two years since he revealed that he did, in
fact, give a shit about his alma mater after all. Thats
more than enough time to get over the bitterness and
sense of betrayal and remember the 15 years, 418
wins and four Final Fours he gave Kansas, the
achingly close calls, the tearful press conferences,
the daggummits and all the rest.
He took a probationary program and made it
shine with class. He was National Coach of the Year
four times. He won at least 20 games in each of his
last 14 seasons. Hes just too good for his legacy to
be his departure.
And yet, walk around Lawrence and the
University of Kansas campus and youll be hard
pressed to find much love for Roy.
But he lied, the common argument goes. In
2000, he said he was staying, but then a couple years
later, he just ups and leaves.
Jeez, youd think it was Missouri he ran off to
not North Carolina, not his home state and his alma
mater and his wife and kids alma mater. Sure, he
could turn down his dream job once, but twice? No
way, especially considering the turmoil the program
was experiencing: two consecutive years with no
NCAA Tournament invitation and Matt Doherty
ousted after only three seasons.
Be realistic. And come on, be forgiving.
Kansas junior guard Jeff Hawkins is. Hes a good,
loyal guy, Hawkins said of his former coach. He
did a lot for the University, and fans shouldnt forget
that. He was faced with a tough decision; fans
should respect that. Surely if anyone has a right to
still be mad at Williams for leaving, its the players he
left. If Hawkins is big enough to root for Roy, fans
should be too.
You know those annoying exes that keep on hat-
ing you like three years after they should have
moved on, the ones that cut you out of photos and
grill all the gifts you gave them into charred stuffed-
animal steaks? Well, I hate to say it, Kansas fans, but
thats us. Roy dumped us, and it sucked. But its time
to get over it, and it time to get over hating the
Heels.

Perkins named NIT Man of the Year
University of Kansas athletics
director Lew Perkins was more
than a spectator last night at the
National Invitation
Tournaments championship
game. He was awarded the
NITs Man of the Year award at
halftime.
Perkins, who was actually
named Man of the Year in
February, said the recognition
came as quite a shock.
He said when the NIT called
he asked, Why? What did I do?
They told me they wanted to
honor me for being a strong
supporter of college basketball,
Perkins said. I took it as the
highest compliment I could
receive. Its something that I will
cherish for a long time.
Although Perkins did not
expect the honor, Jim Marchiony
said it was no surprise.
There are
many people in
the field of col-
lege athletics
who know
how much hes
meant to ath-
letics and col-
lege basketball

Ma r c h i o n y,
associate athletics director for
external affairs.
Marchiony said he had
known Perkins for the past 15
years, and he had worked
alongside Perkins for the past
three years. He said Perkins
continually tried to give coaches
what they needed to be success-
ful and considered student-ath-
letes his top priority.
Hes committed to making
college athletics in general the
best it can be, Marchiony said.
Previous winners of the
award include former Kansas
athletics director Bob Frederick,
former Oklahoma State coach
Henry Iba and Texas Tech coach
Bob Knight.
In 2000, Perkins received the
inaugural National Athletic
Director of the Year Award, pre-
sented by Street & Smiths
Sports Business Journal in con-
junction with the National
Association of Collegiate
Director of Athletics. During the
1994-1995 academic year, he
received the Crystal Award
from the UConn Club for dedica-
tion and service to the University
of Connecticut Division of
Athletics and the Distinguished
Service Award from the womens
national championship basket-
ball program.
He also brought NCAA
Division I-A football to the
University of Connecticut in
2000 while serving as the
schools athletics director.

Olympic trials lie on horizon
Coach prepares to say goodbye to record-holding swimmer
Kansas swimming coach Clark
Campbell might soon have to part
ways with the woman he calls one
of the best swimmers in the history
of the University.
Senior co-captain Amy Gruber
is preparing to swim at the World
Championship trials, also known
as the spring nationals, Tuesday in
Indianapolis. The trials are held in
conjunction with the US
Swimming National
Championships.
If Gruber swims better than
57.19 seconds in the 100-meter
freestyle, she would make the
Olympic trial standard cut. She
could then use
that qualification
to compete in the
2008 Olympic
Games.
The fastest
swimmers in each
event will be a
part of the US
National Team,
Campbell said.
The top six
freestylers at the World
Championships also make the cut,
he said.
So far, Grubers best time in the
100-meter freestyle is 57.66 sec-
onds. But Campbell said he has
been telling her to visualize swim-
ming near 56 seconds.
The meet will also feature long-
course meters in an Olympic-style
pool, rather than short-course
yards used in Robinson
Natatorium. Campbell said he was
confident Gruber could build off
solid NCAA meets and continue
strong.
Amy had the best NCAA meet
of her life, Campbell said. Amy is
experienced enough to take that
speed and translate it into long-
course.
Gruber said she intended to be
competitive, but would have a dif-
ferent mindset going into Tuesdays
competition.
Im looking at it as a complete-
ly different meet, she said. The
NCAAs were hard for me because
it was my last college meet. But
Im going into this meet to have
fun. If I swim well, theres a larger
possibility that I will continue to
swim.
Campbell will accompany
Gruber to the trials next week for
what could be their last meet
together. He said Grubers work
ethic and mental toughness singled
her out from other swimmers.
Most of them are done in May,
but its like Amy took the quantum
leap, he said. Shes in a whole
different realm right now.
Shes on a mission to finish her
career on her terms, he said.
Gruber is among the top 30
American Division I swimmers.

Big-league crowd
Coach Price says Aggie passion for baseball is awesome
When Kansas opened up the
Big 12 Conference against
Nebraska last weekend in
Hoglund Ballpark, it was in
front of roughly 1,000 fans, and
many of them were donning
Husker apparel.
As Kansas heads to College
Station to take on Texas A&M,
led by veteran coach Mark
Johnson, in a three-game week-
end series, it can plan on play-
ing its second Big 12
Conference opponent of the
year in front of a more Texas-
sized crowd. That crowd does
not faze Kansas coach Ritch
Price in the slightest, he said.
Its my favorite place Ive
ever been to play. The atmos-
phere is absolutely incredible,
Price said. There will be 7,000
people there and their passion
for baseball is awesome.
The Jayhawks prepare to face
the Aggies, who had more than
5,500 fans at their last home
game on Tuesday.
The Aggies (20-9, 2-4),
ranked No. 16 by Baseball
America, sit in the eighth spot
in the Big 12 standings, only
one spot higher than the
Jayhawks (21-10, 1-2). Kansas
lost its series against Nebraska,
while Texas A&M dropped its
conference-opening series to
Texas Tech and Oklahoma.
Although Kansas could not
take the series from No. 8
Nebraska, the team continued
to show strength and improve-
ment on the field and at the
plate.
I think were ready to play in
this conference, junior out-
fielder Matt Baty said. Weve
struggled in years past, and I
think this is the year well do
some damage in the Big 12.

Aries (March 21-April 19). You are the
wild type. Learning a new drinking
game at a party is the highlight of
your week. In other words, you are
an alcoholic with the IQ of a toaster.
Keep up your screwdrivers every
morning and eventually youll start
screwing a toaster.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Youre good
at planning and styling your hair.
This is all youre good at though.
People think youre a waste of space
with hair thats not even that great.
Your roommate is planning on killing
you in your sleep. Sleep tight.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). You love
the outdoors. Camping, hiking and
fishing are the ultimate experiences
for you. You smell like the farm and
enjoy picking your nose. Welcome
to a lifetime of being alone.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). You are a
deep thinker and keep to yourself.
But people think you are a preten-
tious jackass. Youre the kind of per-
son who would sell your siblings
kidney to make a quick buck and,
although the idea of that makes you
laugh, its nothing to be proud of.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). People say
you are fun and spunky. So, you are
an idiot with no future. You are the
type of person who admires the
house ant, uses fingers to compute
easy addition, and thinks there are
only 27 days in a month. One plus
one equals what again?
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You are an
organized person and know where
you are going. You are only pre-
tending though. Truthfully, you are
absolutely clueless about life, but
you like to pretend you are better
than everyone else. Welcome to
schizophrenia, poser.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Your sex
appeal and fabulous flirtatious ability
makes you smile. Simply put, youre
easy and have low self-esteem. Its
time to wake up and get off other
peoples beds. Its time to like your-
self as much as you like sex. By the
way, cut down on the porn.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). You like a
good challenge. Youre the type of
person who tries to eat soup with
chopsticks. While your pointless
adventures may amuse you, they
piss off the people who have to
deal with you. You are likely to be
the only person at your funeral.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You
always view the glass half full.
Youre an optimist by heart and that
makes you forever nave. Its time to
wake up and face reality because
you have no future and all your
friends secretly hate you. Your pet is
soon to die.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You are
an honest person. In other words,
youre a heartless brat who has no
feelings for others. People always
ask if you are an only child. Youre
the type of person who has no
problem eating in front of a hun-
gry friend. Your significant other is
planning on leaving you this week-
end.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Dont
leave the house tomorrow.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). You are
a very romantic, passionate per-
son. Basically, you stay in every
night watching TV and movies
that give you false hopes that
will never come true for you. Go
out tonight, have fun, cheat and
dont remember it tomorrow
you deserve it. Besides, that spe-
cial someone has already cheat-
ed on you.

The Board of Regents
approved a proposal five to one
to sell the naming rights of
Allen Fieldhouse for $12 mil-
lion to the Laurie Family of
Columbia, Mo. For the second
time, the Lauries have decided
to name a venue after their
daughter Paige. Allen
Fieldhouse will now be called
Paiges Fieldhouse.
This is a wonderful day that
will hopefully vindicate our
daughter from all the trauma
she has gone through, Bill
Laurie said at a press confer-
ence in the fieldhouse yester-
day. He added, Paige, Paige
honey, do you want anything
else? How about a jet, sweet-
ie?
The Laurie family originally
named the new arena at the
University of Missouri after their
daughter, Paige Sports Arena.
But when it was discovered shed
cheated while attending
University of Southern
California, they gave the naming
rights back to Missouri, who
changed the arena to Wal-Mart
Cheater Arena.
The Lauries though were not
too happy with the name
change. So, they decided to
contact other Big 12
Conference universities to see if
they could buy the naming
rights to their arenas. The only
other university to respond was
Baylor, who wanted $15.50 for
the naming rights to their arena.
The Lauries picked that one up
too. Paige has suggested The
OC Arena.
Its the beginning of a new
era, Chancellor Robert
Hemenway said. No longer do
we have to keep living in the
past at KU by naming all these
buildings after old fogies.
Instead we have a new future!
One that is $12 million richer.
I guess its sort of cool to
have buildings named after
me, Paige said, while tanning
at the Palm Beach Country
Club. Though I would have
liked an island better. Where is
KU anyways? St. Louis? Are
they the Wildcats?
Many students were notice-
ably upset after hearing the
news.
I dont care that they
rename the building for cash,
Lukas Philips, Bumblepatch
senior, said. But to name it
after a family from Missouri,
thats unacceptable. Next thing
you know, theyre going to start
recruiting players from prison
like Missouri.
Hemenway and Bill Laurie
were unphased by the disgust
and anger that their announce-
ment created.
Mr. Laurie is one of the rich
... I mean, nicest men in the
world, Hemenway said. Hes
all right in my book and Paige is
such a nice girl. Im sure shell
never do anything bad again.
The University of Southern
California had threatened to
take away Paiges degree once it
was discovered that shed
cheated and had never actually
attended classes at Southern
California, or been in southern
California. It recanted when
Bill Laurie threatened to buy
the university and turn it into a
Wal-Mart.

Allen Fieldhouse as gift
Ron Langdon stares blankly
at the shuttlecock in his hand,
wondering what might have
been. The senior and starting
service specialist on KUs bad-
minton team says he knows
that he let down his school,
fans and family. But more than
anything, he disappointed
himself.
Every little kid playing
badminton in the backyard
dreams of getting the shot we
had, said a dejected Prashant
Marpathsary, also a senior,
but sometimes the birdies just
wont fall where you want
them.
The University of Kansas
suffered a surprising defeat at
the rackets of Clearfield
College, a small school that
two years ago barely had a
badminton club. Now, the
Clearfield Cougars have
secured their school a spot in
the National Collegiate
Badminton Association and
an upset victory to boot.
The ShuttleHawks, as fans
call them, had high hopes
going into this season. Ron
Langdon was a pre-season All-
NCBA First Team selection
and is still a candidate for the
prestigious Nigel Fletcher
award, which is the greatest
individual honor in collegiate
badminton.
The final set of the final
match of the Hawks season
came down to a lob that was
offered up by Clearfield on a set
play gone awry. The team failed
to capitalize, and unfortunately
a splendid day for Ron Langdon
not so great for his team-
mates ended with his missing
his trademark overhand
smasheroo, which had been
the scourge of opponents all
season long.
Next season looms heavy on
the horizon for the returning
players, some of whom will
have to shake a late-season
scoring drought that eventually
caught up with the
ShuttleHawks. Coach Rick
Malrek is optimistic, though
many fans are disappointed
with the quick loss in his sec-
ond season as the
ShuttleHawks coach.
Losses happen and its
rough, he said, But well
move on because were a bad-
minton team and were made
of tough stuff. I have a lot of
good players who will contin-
ue to develop over the com-
ing years. Were focusing
especially on strength and
endurance training with the
younger guys.

Though he put on one of

BADMINTON SHOCKER: 63-64
A medical expert discovered
that former baseball player
Mark McGwire injected
tearoids into his buttock prior
to the steroid congressional
hearing March 25. Tearoids are
a newly developed drug that
enables one to create tears
without any emotional feeling
whatsoever.
Im not surprised, former
McGwire teammate Jose
Canseco said. I think Im pret-
ty sure that Mark did tearoids
when we were playing for the
As.
When told that tearoids were
created just last month, a con-
fused Canseco responded,
Well, I know he did steroids.
He did steroids. Believe me. I
saw him do them several, twice,
I mean at least 200 times.
McGwire allegedly injected
the drugs in an attempt to
receive sympathy from the
American people by balling in
front of Congress. McGwire
continues to vehemently deny
the use of steroids despite the
fact that he is neckless with a
bad case of acne, experiencing
constant mood swings and is
beginning to need a Bro to
support his man boobs.
When reached for comment
about his use of tearoids and
steroids by the University
Daily Kansan, McGwire said
he was unwilling to talk about
the past.
Ill only talk about the
future, McGwire said. I want
to keep this positive. I wish
everyone would just leave me
alone. I didnt do steroids. I
wish Canseco would just shut
his face. Do I look like I did
steroids?

THE STUFF
University of Kansas Athletic
Director Lew Perkins
announced yesterday that the
official title of the KU-Missouri
rivalry would be altered in
order to avoid what he referred
to as an overly competitive
sense of competition.
Perkins noted that the offi-
cial moniker of the rivalry, The
Border Showdown, was too
confrontational and might send
the wrong message to impres-
sionable students of both uni-
versities.
Ive spoken with Missouris
AD, Michael Alden, and we both
agreed that the current name did
a disservice to the actual show-
downs that are going on in other
areas of the world, Perkins said
in his weekly press conference.
The word showdown has such
a powerful meaning to those
who are involved in them, that
we did not want to risk offending
them. Granted no one has com-
plained yet, but there is the
potential that someone may
complain at some point in the
future, so we must be proactive.
Perkins announced that the
rivalry would be renamed the
Border Co-existence in refer-
ence to the fact that both uni-
versities do co-exist. Perkins
said that the new name would
encourage Kansas fans to think
of the University of Missouri as
a neutral entity and not as a
rival.
As part of his continuing
efforts to completely emascu-
late the Kansas sports image,
Perkins has also stated that any
shirts, signs or chants that
encourage the University to
succeed at the expense of oth-
ers would also be prohibited.
I go to sporting events and
see T-shirts that say Muck
Fizzou or Go Jayhawks and I
worry that were sending the
wrong message to our kids.
Perkins said. After all, the pur-
pose of collegiate sports isnt to
beat other teams its to gen-
erate revenue. Perkins finished
the press conference by stating
that with new corporate spon-
sorship, the official title of the
rivalry would be ESPN pres-
ents the Cooper Tires Border
Co-existence sponsored by
Nextel.
