She was 50. Gerner is survived by her husband, fellow polit- ical science professor Philip A. Schrodt. According to her Web site, Gerner came to the Univer- sity of Kansas in 1988 after earning her Ph.D. at North- western University in 1982. She became a full professor at the University four years after her arrival. In a press release, those close to Gern- er said that she spent more than 25 years studying and living in the middle East, an area of specialty in her stud- ies. Gerner was a member of the KU Womens Hall of Fame and received the Kemper Award for teaching excel- lence.

BY JOSHUA BICKEL jbickel@kansan.com KANSAN SENIOR STAFF WRITER Members of Te University Daily Kansan Board and the University of Kansas are discussing the possibility of consolidating the Kansans bank accounts into one University ac- count. Some members of the Board are concerned that consolidating these accounts would give the University control over parts of the Kansan that are now independent from Univer- sity governance. Basically, the University and the state would govern our money, said Jonathan Kealing, Kansan editor for Fall 2006. Tey would cut our check and be our banker. Right now, the discussions be- tween the Kansan and the University are focused solely on how to make the Kansan operate within the Uni- versity, state and federal fscal fnan- cial regulations, said Ann Brill, dean of the School of Journalism. During Mondays meeting, the Board came to a consensus to suggest that the University not consolidate the accounts, according to the meet- ings minutes. Kealing also added that this shif would limit the Kansans ability to interact with advertisers and pursue legal actions, because the state, not the Kansan, would decide how the money is spent. We wouldnt be able to do busi- ness, Kealing said. But the Board is not in a position right now to know exactly what to do, said Rick Musser, chairman of the Kansan board. Currently, the Kansan has two bank accounts: A student organiza- tion account with the University, and another outside account at a Law- rence bank. Consolidating these accounts would also move them from three interest-bearing accounts to one non-interest bearing account, mean- ing the Kansan would lose between $1,000 to $2,000 per year as a result of lost interest, Kealing said. Specifc laws also allow student publications to independently gov- ern its money, as long as all funds are reported. Kansas law 76-720 states that stu- dent publications published regularly since July 1, 1955, are able to hold ac- counts in local banks outside of the University. Te Kansan has published fve days a week during the fall and spring semesters since Jan. 16, 1912. However, its not uncommon for a university to manage the funds of a student newspaper, said Mike Hi- estand, legal adviser for the Student Press Law Center, a non-proft orga- nization based in Arlington, Va. But these days, its common prac- tice for universities to divest them- selves from a student-run media, in order to shed themselves of any li- ability, he said. Its not common practice for inde- pendent student publications, such as the Kansan, to have its funds con- trolled by a university, he said, Tats the nature of being inde- pendent, Hiestand said. Only in cases where its believed the money has been mismanaged do universities step in and take control of student media fnds, he said. But thats not the case with the Kansan. I dont want to create concerns that the Kansan was mismanaging money, said Diane Goddard, Uni- versity comptroller and associate vice provost. Part of the reasoning for the shif were concerns about payroll, which have since been resolved, Goddard said. She added that any number of solutions to this situation are viable, as long as payroll runs through the University. Anything can be facilitated from a comptrollers point-of-view, she said. But a decision needs to be made. Another reason for the shif deals with the specifc mission of the Kan- san. According to article two of the Constitution of the Kansan, the pur- pose of the Kansan is to serve as the of cial newspaper of the student body of the University of Kansas and as the laboratory newspaper of the William Allen White School of Jour- nalism and Mass Communications. Because the Kansan is both an independent newspaper and a labo- ratory for the School of Journalism, it allows you to look at it from many diferent ways, Goddard said. However, a revision to the consti- tution is currently under review by Chancellor Robert Hemenway that would essentially remove the labo- ratory designation from the docu- ment, said Malcolm Gibson, general manager of the Kansan. Another concern raised was issues relating to the First Amendment, Musser said. Brill, a staunch defender of the First Amendment, said that the School of Journalism has a responsi- bility not only to educate its students about the skills and ethical practices of journalism, but also making sure students understand the business and fnancial aspects of journalism. And Hiestand agrees that shifing money to a university account isnt a direct violation of the First Amend- ment. But it certainly opens the door to allow the school to manipulate con- tent, he said.

Source: Sergeant Dan Ward, Lawrence Police Department. By Tom SlaughTer tslaughter@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Lawrence residents are taking precautions af- ter a reported rape occurred in central Lawrence on June 13. Te report was the third that has been made to the Lawrence Police Department since 2004. According to the police departments media re- lease, it is investigating the case with the possibil- ity that all three could be related. Te media release stated that on June 13, an unidentifed male entered the apartment of a 21-year-old female and sexually assaulted her. In each case the suspect was described as a 6 foot, white male in his 20s, with a slim build. He has reportedly been armed during each attack. Alix Fried, 2006 graduate who still lives in Lawrence, said that any time a rape case is re- ported, it raises awareness. It comes to the surface when theres a public instance that happened, she said. Fried said that she makes sure to look for any- thing suspicious when she is out at night. No arrests have been made, but the police de- partment is hopeful that it can identify the sus- pect. We will not stop until we do, Sgt. Dan Ward said. Ward said that there is a possibility that oth- er victims have not yet come forward, but the police department has signifcant evidence that the cases are related. He said it was important to educate people that this is a serious crime and that it is important for people to use precaution- ary measures. He said it will probably take a lot of manpower and forensic technology to identify the suspect, however. Laura Seger, graduate student and Lawrence resident, said she is cautious when she is out. I try to be alert of my surroundings, Seger said. Te media release asked that anyone with information about these three crimes call the Lawrence Police Department Detective Division at 830-7430 or the Tips Hot Line at 843-TIPS. It also prompted citizens to dial 911 if they notice any suspicious activity.
Edited by Janiece Gatson Rape case raises awareness Residents need to take extra caution; Police think this rape case may be connected to two others tcrime safety tips t campus By Tom SlaughTer tslaughter@kansan.com Kansan staff writer In the coming weeks, the Univer- sity of Kansas Public Safety Ofce will move to a location that will al- low the department more operat- ing space. Te move is scheduled to be completed within the next few months. Ralph V. Oliver, Chief/Director for the Public Safety Ofce, said the current building, Carruth-OLeary Hall, is not big enough to ft all of the needs of the department. Te Public Safety Ofce will occupy what was the Printing Services building, on Bob Billings Parkway and Crestline Drive on west campus. Oliver said the move was about needing more room. Teres more space than there is here, Oliver said. Oliver said that he approached the Provost office approximately five years ago with the hopes that Public Safety could relocate. He said that it was simply a matter of good timing when the Printing build- ing closed. O l i v e r said that the new building would accom- modate a va- riety of needs that Carruth- OLeary could not meet. The new building will have interview rooms for sus- pects, an evidence room, and an equipment room. He also said it would have a community out- reach room where both private enterprises and members of the public can make presentations concerning matters that the office deals with. The current building has no space for training the offices employ- ees. Oliver said that the new building would be more acces- sible during later hours. We work 24 hours a day, Oli- ver said. One new ame- nity that mem- bers of the ofce are excited about is not so obvious, however. Te frst thing that most people in the ofce are excited about is there is more parking, Oliver said. Carruth-OLeary Hall has only one parking lot, which is desig- nated for patrol cars. Visitors have to find parking that isnt directly associated with the building. Mark L. Reiske, R.A., Associate Director of Budget and Design Pro- duction, said that when the public has a problem late at night, it can be difcult to reach the ofce in Car- ruth-OLeary. He said that in the new building, there will be a moni- tored lobby that will be open late, whereas citizens now have to call before they can be admitted into the ofce. He said that the department had to have all of its telecom- munications, including servers, alarms and security cameras, running before a move could take place. Until thats operational, they re- ally cant move, he said. Reiske said that the new building would still be accessible to the public, even though it wouldnt be as cen- trally located on campus. Te ofce will be along a bus route for students and there will be parking available for visitors. Oliver said that once the de- partment decides on a precise date for the switch, they will begin to advertise through local media out- lets. Also occupying the Printing Ser- vices building will be the department of entomology, according to Reiske. Carruth-OLeary will eventually be torn down and replaced by a new facility that will house the School of Business, according to Reiske. No timetable has been set for that ac- tion.

Administrators at the University of Kansas would argue that the answer is yes. Te Universitys fve-year tuition enhance- ment plan will enter its last year this fall, as- suming it receives approval from the Board of Regents this week. Te plan was designed to raise tuition in order to provide students with amenities worthy of the best buy reputation that the University has recently received, such as improved technology and more faculty. Elizabeth Spear, Kansas City, MO. senior, said that with some exceptions like what she considers an unnecessary logo change stu- dents are getting what they pay for. You get out of it what you put into it, Spear said. Prior to the inception of the fve-year plan, the state provided the University with fund- ing to make up for the diference between the schools tuition revenue and the total expenses spent by the University, according to Teresa Klinkenberg, Chief Business & Financial Plan- ning Ofcer of the University. State support was not growing as we had liked, Klinkenberg said. Te state changed its funding model in 2001, using block grants and allowing the University to keep all of the money it gener- ated from tuition, Klinkenberg said. Te University formed an ad hoc commit- tee to devise a way to handle the new budget system. Te University was considered under funded in comparison with schools in its peer group schools considered of similar size and academic standing to the tune of ap- proximately $50 million, according to the committee. Schools in the group included the University of Colorado, the University of Oklahoma and the University of North Caro- lina at Chapel Hill. According to the Universitys Web site, In April 2002, the committee recommended a plan to generate $43 million over fve years for educational enhancements and $8.6 million in scholarships for students with unmet fnancial need as a result of the tuition increases on the Lawrence campus. Te amount of the tuition enhancement is $16.50 per credit hour for each of fve years. William L. Eakin, Vice Provost for Ad- ministration and Finance and assistant pro- fessor of history, said that during the frst four years of the plan, the University hired approximately 70 faculty members, and au- thorized the hiring of 35 more this year. He also said that the University gave $5 million for technology each year, and $3 million for graduate teaching assistants salaries. Faculty members are still unclear whether or not the Board of Regents will approve the ffh year. Eakin said that one of the main reasons the Regents may not approve the plan was be- cause non-resident students paid more tuition that those from Kansas, and so the $16.50 hike efects them less proportionally. We dont want to appear to be giving non- residents a better deal, Eakin said. Not all students are excited about the rise in tuition. I think the amenities that are being improved dont directly afect me as a student, said Laura Musonye, Kenya senior. Musonye said that she thinks the increase will be more benefcial to students in the future. I think the level of education is just the same, she said.

Danielle Tongier would have been a freshman this August. Fellow classmates Jessica Pierce and Andrew Harpstrite, along with their Spanish teacher Brett Carlson, were also killed. Te 11 students on the trip had been spending the afernoon on the beach and swimming in the Pacifc Ocean when a tidal wave came in and pulled them under the water. Carlson was on the beach at the time and instructed the students to get out of the water, but Tongier and Harpstrite couldnt get out. Carlson had gone into the water to help the students, but became en- gulfed in the water himself. Pierce, 17, was a licensed lifeguard and also tried to help the others, but drowned as well. Greg Cartwright, principal of Labette County High School in Al- amont where the students attended, said two students were rescued from the water. He said the students described it as a perfect afernoon for swimming until an unexpected tidal wave came and continued to get worse. Tey were wading in water that came up to their chest, then the wave came in and they couldnt touch bottom. Robert Buddemer, senior scien- tist at Kansas Geological Survey, said people who visit unfamiliar areas can get caught in strong currants because of inexperience swimming in those types of water. Before surfers ever get into the ocean they sit on the beach and watch the water to see how and where it moves. Buddemer said swimmers need to do the same thing. You need to know something about where you are and how the water reacts, he said. Tongier is remembered as a good person by Jay Vanmiddlesworth. Van- middlesworth taught Tongier and coached her in tennis. She was very happy-go-lucky and always up-beat. Really a good student, the type youd like to have in your classroom, he said. Te students and Carlson traveled to Costa Rica on a cultural exchange trip. Carlson went on a similar trip during college and thought it would be interesting for the students. He really liked Costa Rica and wanted the kids to experience it, Cartwright said. A memorial for Tongier, Pierce, Harpstrite and Carlson was held June 16 at 6 p.m. Tongiers funeral was on June 17. Cartwright said the community is dealing with the accident well, especially because the last body was found at the end of last week. It was a terrible accident. We think everything has been recovered, so we can get on with it, he said.

I was eating Tai food one day and decided I would go there, he said with a smile. Hover, a recent physics graduate, received the ticket afer a layover he faced in Amsterdam last summer. He lef Monday with his mother for a two-week vacation in Tailand. Hover became familiar with for- eign countries early in his life. At 4 years old he moved with his family to Sydney, Australia, because of a job his father took. While there, Hover dealt with what he referred to as his physical sob story. He spent one month in a wheel- chair with casts on both legs to cor- rect a problem he had with walking on his tip-toes. At the same time, he also had an eye-patch covering one eye because he had a lazy-eye. Hover jokingly said that for enter- tainment, he wheeled in a circle over and over looking out of his lazy eye. All joking aside, the doctors were able to fx the eye problem, the casts were removed and Hover went on to play soccer on organized teams until his ninth grade year. Hover still plays soccer for fun, but now has to concentrate on his future. Hover will be joining the physics graduate program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in August. He said the six-year Ph.D. program should give him enough time to de- cide exactly what he wants to do with his time-consuming major. Hover is excited about his new path, but anxious, as well. At Madi- son, he will be a teaching assistant for an entry-level physics course. He said that even though he was a physicist, he was still apprehensive about teaching, especially classes he took years ago. Teaching kind of scares me. You have to know everything exactly, he said. Hover spent his last days in Law- rence working in the physics research lab on campus and spending time with family and friends. In between his Tailand vacation and moving to Wisconsin, Hover, who enjoys hiking and the outdoors, will spend one month with a friend follow- ing the Pacifc Crest Trail in Oregon. Despite this changing time in Hovers life, he still takes every step with optimism, looking forward to the next thing. Tis free-spirit is someone who never stops going places or seeing things. When asked where they will be sleeping on their hiking trip, Hover smiled and said, In a tent. Edited by Dani Hurst Joshua Bickel/KANSAN David Hover, Overland Park graduate, sifts through lines of computer code Thursday morning in a Mallott Hall physics lab. Hover, who graduated in May with a physics degree, is planning a trip to Thailand and a backpacking trip to the Pacifc Crest Trail before heading to graduate school at the University of Wisconsin-Madison to study physics. Buses slated for improvements By Tom SlaughTer tslaughter@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Working with the city of Law- rence, the University of Kansas has hired a consulting frm to analyze and improve the citys two major bus outlets, KU on Wheels and the Law- rence Transit System. Daniel K. Boyle, president of Dan Boyle & Associates, hosted the frst of fve public meetings at City Hall and a meeting at the Kansas Union last week to get a feel for how both the city and those afliated with the University students and faculty felt the two systems could be im- proved. Afer the study is completed, the project will go through two phases, Boyle said at the meetings. Te frst will be the standard transit project, intended to make the overall transit situation in the city better. Te sec- ond phase will see if it would be pos- sible to intertwine both systems to function as one unit. Boyle said that while he was try- ing to gain a sense of what the most important issues were regarding both systems, he couldnt yet tell if the public wants to integrate the sys- tems. Robbie Myles, Olathe senior, said that change was needed. Myles, who lived at Parkway Commons, Clinton Pkwy and Kasold, last year, didnt own a car at the time and said he ex- perienced problems with the current bus system. When I rode the t I had to catch two buses to get where I needed to go, Myles said of the city transporta- tion system, He said that it ofen would take him 30 minutes to catch a ride to campus, taking a bus from his apart- ment complex to SuperTarget, and then transferring to another bus to get to campus. He also said that he would have liked the buses to run later than they did. A lack of later running times was just one of the complaints expressed by meeting participants. Others in- cluded routing, accessibility for those with disabilities, timing for transfers, uncleanliness and both environmen- tal and noise pollution. Lawrence Settles, Shawnee senior, who attended the meeting at City Hall, said he was happy that people were trying to improve the bus sys- tems. Im an advocate for public trans- portation, he said. Boyles frm specializes in public transportation, and has completed studies in other college towns. He did one study at the University of Nevada at Reno, and will be conducting an- other that will serve six universities in Greensboro, N.C. Te current study began last week and is scheduled to end some time in November.

The social psychologist will ar- rive at The Uni- versity of Kan- sas as a faculty member in the department of psychology at the beginning of August. He is able to join the Universitys fac- ulty because of funding created by the five-year tuition enhance- ment plan, the tuition increase that took effect in 2003. . Moving from California will be a transition for his family but Gil- lath said he is excited about the change. Lawrence seems to be a nice, pleasant city, Gillath said. I have a feeling it will be exciting and fun. Gillath will begin his teach- ing and research in neuroscience combined with social and person- ality psychology at the University this fall semester as one of about 30 new faculty members that the University has recently hired. By the end of 2007, approximately 100 new faculty members will have been hired with the funds raised by the tuition plan. E v e r y school on the Lawrence campus and the College of Liberal Arts and Scienc- es received funding to hire new fac- ulty. In addition to Gillath, the department of psy- chology also hired Kris Preacher, quantitative psychologist and for- mer University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill faculty member. Preacher will conduct research and teach graduate courses in psy- chology at the University, starting in August. Preacher expressed his senti- ments about the University and why he decided to join the faculty, in an e-mail. He said the Univer- sity had one of the few, high-qual- ity quantitative psychology pro- grams in the country. He also said the department has a world-wide reputation for excellence and the faculty was welcoming. The School of Engineering was allocated funds to hire three new faculty members. One of those individuals is Javier Guzman, who will be an assistant profes- sor in chemical and petroleum engineering and researcher at the Center for Environmentally Ben- eficial Catalysis. Before Guzman came to the University, he was in Spain at the Valencia Polytechnic University on a postdoctoral fel- lowship. Stuart Bell, dean of School of Engineering, said the new hires were a great investment for many reasons. We have more faculty to in- teract with students, Bell said. Thats the bottom line. If youre investing with faculty, youre in- vesting in the highest impact for students. Bell also said that hiring new faculty brings attention to the University from other schools and brings a certain level of pres- tige to the degrees students earn at the University.

Mayor John M. Fabrizi admitted Tuesday he had abused cocaine while in ofce and said he wanted to apologize to all the people of the city but had no plans to resign. The admission followed the in- advertent release of an FBI docu- ment in which an alleged drug dealer claimed an associate had a videotape of the mayor using co- caine. In a tearful speech to about 200 city employees and residents in City Council chambers Tuesday, Fabrizi said he had not used drugs in 18 months and had sought help for a drug addiction that he had hoped to handle privately. I thought that these were per- sonal, private matters to me and my family, that I could deal with these issues with my family and myself, Fabrizi said. I now rec- ognize my actions affected many others, and I want to apologize to my family, my friends, and all of the people of the city of Bridge- port for my actions, my past ac- tions. Fabrizi, a Democrat who took of- fce afer former Mayor Joseph Ganim was convicted of corruption in 2003, said he hopes to move forward and continue running Connecticuts larg- est city. I will do everything, and I mean everything I can, to redeem the re- spect and the support that you the employees of the city of Bridgeport, and of you my friends, and of you the great people of the city of Bridge- port, Fabrizi said. Many employees cheered while Fabrizi spoke, though there were some boos. He also said he stopped drinking alcohol four months ago. I have put this personal strug- gle behind me and it has never, ever affected my job perfor- mance, Fabrizi said. The tre- mendous prog- ress Bridgeport has made over the past three years is a testa- ment to that. Folks, my re- cord speaks for itself. U.S. Attorney Kevin OConnor said last week that Fabrizi was not a target of the drug investigation, which led to the FBI report being filed in court. He said FBI reports, which summarize statements made by witnesses but are not always cor- roborated, are typically filed under seal and apologized to Fabrizi for the release. Fabrizi first admitted he had used cocaine to the editorial board of the Con- necticut Post, which reported the admission in Tuesdays editions. F a b r i z i would not tell the Post how he obtained cocaine, but said he occasionally spent $20 or $40 to purchase it. The mayor of- fered to take periodic drug tests if anyone doubts he has stopped using cocaine. Bridgeport, a city of about 140,000 residents on Long Island Sound, has struggled with violent drug deal- ers who gave the city a reputation as the murder capital of the state in the 1990s before the homicide rate plummeted. Cecil Young, a city sheriff who listened to Fabrizis address Tues- day, said the mayor had misled vot- ers for nearly two years and should resign. He needs help, Young said, add- ing that he wants proof that Fabrizi sought treatment from a licensed professional. If I was busted for something like that, I would lose my job. Others were more forgiving. I think he can continue on in his job as mayor as long as hes sought treatment, said Matthew Krol, a Bridgeport resident who works in a record store. I think he should be given a second chance. By amanda lee myers the associated press SEDONA, Ariz. A 1,500-acre wildfire threatening northern Ar- izonas scenic Oak Creek Canyon was only 5 percent contained Tues- day as crews tried to stop it from reaching hundreds of homes clus- tered among dry manzanita and juniper trees. At least 11 helicopters and air tankers were available Tuesday to help ground crews, said Joe Reinarz, commander of the team fghting the fre. Te fre started Sunday and forced the evacuation of about 400 homes and businesses in narrow Oak Creek Canyon and about 100 homes in the smaller canyons on the rugged north side of Sedona, a town about 90 miles north of Phoenix surrounded by red-hued clifs that draw builders of expensive homes and thousands of tourists. Crews also were battling wildfres in Colorado, New Mexico and Cali- fornia. By Tuesday morning, ofcials said the Sedona fre was only about a half-mile from the edge of Slide Rock State Park and fames had crested Wilson Mountain, edging about 300 feet below the rim of Oak Creek Can- yon in spots. We want to hang it up there as high as we can and let it grow low and slow, Reinarz said Tuesday. If the fre burns down to the two- lane scenic highway along the canyon bottom, crews hope to make a stand there. Most homes are on the opposite side of the highway, Reinarz said. A high temperature of about 100 was forecast Tuesday for Sedona, with very low humidity and wind of 10 to 20 mph. Im a little apprehensive, said Se- dona Mayor Pud Colquitt, one of the evacuees from Oak Creek Canyon. Its a wait-and-see now. Authorities believe the blaze start- ed in a camp used by transients. In neighboring New Mexico, four fres started by lightning had burned more than 30,000 acres in the tinder- dry Gila National Forest in the south- western part of the state. Te biggest had charred nearly 12,000 acres and threatened 150 homes in the Lake Roberts area. Residents were being allowed to return Tuesday, said fre information ofcer Brian Morris. A 7,000-acre fre northeast of Glenwood, N.M., in Catron County, prompted evacuations of about 30 cabins and campgrounds, Morris said. In southern Colorado, crews braced for more dry, windy weather Tuesday as they confronted a wild- fre that exploded across 4,500 acres about 10 miles northeast of Fort Garland, triggering the evacuation of 270 homes in two counties. No houses had been destroyed. We cant get out in front of this thing, its moving like a freight train, fre information ofcer Steve Segin said. A California brush fre spread over 6,000 acres of hilly terrain in Los Pa- dres National Forest. No houses were threatened but two sheds and three trailers were destroyed, U.S. For- est Service spokesman Joe Pasinato said. Wildfres have charred more than 3.1 million acres nationwide so far this year, well ahead of the average of about 900,000 acres by this time, the National Interagency Fire Center reported. Huge grass fres that swept Texas and Oklahoma this spring ac- count for a large part of this years acreage.

If I was busted for something like that, I would lose my job. Cecil young Bridgeport, Conn., sherif By jack weinstein jweinstein@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Lawrence is the Hollywood of the Midwest. Te University of Kansas is Hollywoods version of Universal Studios. Dont believe it? From flms starring zombies, to sof-core porn, to nuclear attacks and the faux docu- mentary that depicted what would have beenhadthe Southwonthe Civ- il War, Lawrence and the University have been the sites of many projects that have graced the silver screen. A scene fromthe IMAXflmSea Monsters 3D was shot at Dyche Hall, located just south of the Kan- sas Union, on campus last Tursday. Te National Geographic flmis one of a litany of feature flms shot on campus or in Lawrence. Other fea- ture flms have dealt directly with the history of the city or University or have tied KU elements to certain parts of their plots. Sea Monsters 3D examines ma- rine reptile life in the ocean while dinosaurs roamed the earth. Using half animation, and half live action reenactments, the flm depicts the life of a dolichorhynchops, a short- necked plesiosaur. Producer Lisa Truitt explained exactly what the flmis about. Te underwater story follows one marine reptile throughher life, Truitt said. Whenever her life in animation comes to a critical juncture, we cut to a reenactment of a real paleontologi- cal dig. What they fndonthe dig, you learnsomething andit dictates the di- rection that the story takes. One of those paleontological scenes was flmed on campus, but nearly the entire flm was shot in Western Kansas including Monu- ment Rock and Castle Rock, with the exception of one scene in Okla- homa. Te Dyche Hall scene contains the lab work conducted afer ma- rine reptiles with neonatal bones were found without egg shells. Te fnd suggested that those sea crea- tures gave live birth in the ocean as opposed to laying eggs. Tat particular discovery actu- ally took place in South Dakota, but most of the fnds highlighted throughout the movie took place in Western Kansas, including fnds by the Sternberg Family of Hays, who were responsible for some signifcant fossil discoveries during the 1920s. Tis is where it happened, this is where most of the fnds were made, Truitt said. Kansas was an inland sea during the Mesozoic period. During the Mesozoic period, the age of reptiles, 245 million to 65 million years ago, Kansas was under water as part of an ocean and did not rise above sea level until the late Cre- taceous, the last stage of the Mesozoic period. Te 40 minute full -length IMAX flm is expected to hit screens na- tionwide in October 2007. Teres tremendous interest in this movie, Truitt said. I knowKan- sas City is really excited about this. Prior to Sea Monsters 3D, Confederate States of America was the last flm to have been shot in Lawrence. Written and directed by Universi- ty of Kansas theatre professor Kevin Willmott, CSA examined what life would have been like had the South won the Civil War. Te satiric flm, flmed from a British documentary point of view, was shot at the Uni- versitys Oldfather Studios, 1621 W. Ninth St., and in Kansas City. It de- buted in 2004. Willmott said Lawrence has a de- veloping flmcommunity. Lawrence has a growing flm scene, Willmott said. Te flm de- partment is growing and the students coming out of the department are staying in the area and making flms. Willmott said the experience of flming in Lawrence was great for his cast and crew. Tey were able to uti- lize many vol- unteers in the area. He said he was amazed at the types of pro- fessionals who lived in Law- rence, saying it was benefcial to thembecause theytookadvan- tage of their talents. Wilmott said there wasnt a bet- ter place for him and his crew to shoot CSA. When youre making a low-bud- get flm, or a no-budget flm in our case, you have to look at your re- sources, he said. Your resources de- termine where to shoot your flm. For us, Lawrence was the best place. Judy Billings, vice president of the Chamber of Commerce, has been directly involved with flms in Lawrence since the 1980s. She said that movies flmed in Lawrence were very benefcial to the city. Its not about getting publicity for the town, but the economic im- pact it creates, Billings said. Movie productions spend a huge amount of money while theyre flming. Tough many movies have been flmed in Lawrence, Billings said that not a whole lot of people knew that. She mentioned Te Day Afer, a flmshot in Lawrence in 1981. Had it not been for a line in the movie, Tis is Lawrence, Kan., is there anyone out there, no one would have known the movie was about Lawrence. Billings also highlighted another beneft to having movies flmed in Lawrence. Television star Michael Landon shot a flm in Lawrence in the late 1980s. Billings believed, had Landon not passed away shortly afer his time in Lawrence, he would have flmed another movie in town or encouraged others to flmthere. Its a very exciting thing when it happens, Billings said.

Biking Across Kansas ended Sat- urday in Arma. Bicyclists had stopped overnight in Girard, then took a 25 mile round-trip to the state line and back. I see a lot of exhausted faces, Charlie Summers, Biking Across Kansas executive director, said as he looked out on Arma City Park, where the riders had gathered. Summers, who has ridden on the tour every year since 1978, said it was one of the hardest trips the group has done. Tis years trip began June 9 and 10 with 800 bicyclists at Johnson City, near the Colorado border. Biking Across Kansas began in 1975, and the route, although it var- ies, generally goes from west to east, so riders have help from the wind. But Summers said riders on this years ride faced a strong east wind on the second day and the ride from Satanta to Ashland was 85 miles. Still, he noted, others had recalled harder trips. So its in the eye of the beholder, Summers said. From Ashland, bicyclists went to Medicine Lodge, then Clearwater, then Burden, followed by Neodesha and Girard. At Arma City Park, bikes were strewn on the grass and rental trucks waited to haul away the bikes and luggage. Bicyclists and their families lined up around the parks perimeter to wait for Chicken Annies. Sharon and Gary Branson, of Ozawkie, sat with their 14-year-old grandson, Cole, in the grass, fnish- ing their chicken. Te whole family came down to pick us up, said Sharon Branson, who be- came involved with Biking Across Kan- sas in 2001. Her husband started the year before and Cole started when he was 11. Although the frst day was easy, she said, heat, illness and injuries took their toll. She said the roads were good and the scenery was beau- tiful, though hard to look at afer the wind became problematic. For Chuck Richeson, of Topeka, it was the frst time he had fnished the ride. Some people say Kansas is fat, Richeson said. Its not. bike Across Kansas participants stand in line for lunch, Saturday, June 17, 2006 at Arma City Park.

Al-Qaida in Iraq claimed responsibility for killing the soldiers, and said the successor to slain terror leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi had slaugh- tered them, according to a Web statement that could not be authenticated. Te language in the statement suggested the men had been beheaded. U.S. Maj. Gen. William Caldwell said the re- mains, found late Monday by American troops, were believed to be those of Pfc. Kristian Menchaca, 23, of Houston, and Pfc. Tomas L. Tucker, 25, of Madras, Ore. He said U.S. forces part of a search involv- ing some 8,000 American and Iraqi troops found the bodies late Monday near Youssifyah, where they disappeared Friday. Troops did not recover the bodies until Tuesday, however, because U.S. forces had to wait until day- light to cordon of the area for an ordnance team for fear it was booby-trapped, Caldwell said. Te checkpoint attacked Friday was in the Sunni Arab region known as the Triangle of Death because of frequent ambushes there of U.S. soldiers and Iraqi troops. Caldwell said troops en- countered a lot of roadside bombs and other ex- plosives during the three-day search, including in the area where the bodies were found. Te cause of death was undeterminable at this point, and the two bodies will be taken back to the United States for DNA tests to con- frm the identities, Caldwell said. Te two soldiers disappeared afer a deadly insurgent attack Friday at a checkpoint by a Eu- phrates River canal south of Baghdad. Spc. David J. Babineau, 25, of Springfeld, Mass., was killed. Te three men were assigned to the 1st Battalion, 502nd Infantry Regiment, 2nd Brigade, 101st Airborne Division from Fort Campbell, Ky. Te director of the Iraqi defense ministrys operation room, Maj. Gen. Abdul-Aziz Mo- hammed, said the bodies showed signs of hav- ing been tortured. With great regret, they were killed in a barbaric way, he said. Te claim of responsibility was made in the name of the Mujahedeen Shura Council, an umbrella organization of fve insurgent groups led by al-Qaida in Iraq. Te group had posted an Internet statement Monday claiming it was holding the two American soldiers captive. We give the good news ... to the Islamic nation that we have carried Gods verdict by slaughtering the two captured crusaders, said the claim, which appeared on an Islamic militant Web site where insurgent groups regularly post statements and videos. With God Almightys blessing, Abu Hamza al-Muhajer carried out the verdict of the Is- lamic court calling for the soldiers slaying, the statement said. Te statement said the soldiers were slaugh- tered, suggesting that al-Muhajer beheaded them. Te Arabic word used in the statement, nahr, is used for the slaughtering of sheep by cutting the throat and has been used in past statements to refer to beheadings. Te U.S. military has identifed al-Muhajer as an Egyptian associate of al-Zarqawi who is also known as Abu Ayyub al-Masri. Te killings would be the frst acts of violence attributed to al-Muhajer since he was named al-Qaida in Iraqs new leader in a June 12 Web message by the group. He succeeded al-Zarqawi, who was killed in a U.S. airstrike on June 7. Al-Zarqawi made al-Qaida in Iraq notori- ous for hostage beheadings and was believed to have killed two American captives himself Nicholas Berg in April 2004 and Eugene Armstrong in September 2004. Caldwell also said that Iraqi and American troops involved in the search for the missing soldiers killed three suspected insurgents and detained 34 in fghting that also lef seven U.S. servicemen wounded. A farmer claiming to have witnessed the attack told Te Associated Press on Sunday that insur- gents swarmed the checkpoint, killing the driver of a Humvee before taking two of his comrades captive. Ahmed Khalaf Falah said three Humvees were manning a checkpoint when they came under fre from many directions. Two Hum- vees went afer the assailants but the third was ambushed before it could move. He said seven masked gunmen, one carrying a heavy machine gun, killed the driver of the third vehicle and took the two other U.S. soldiers captive. His account could not be verifed independently.

However, next years team will be without at least nine players from the senior-laden 2006 team that reached the Corvallis Regional. To match last seasons success, Kansas will depend on some new faces at key positions and familiar faces in new roles. Batting Order: Junior Brock Simpson has the most experience as a leadof hit- ter afer flling that role for 24 games last season. Simpson hit .293 in 2006 with eight doubles, six triples, fve home runs, 33 RBI, 38 runs and fve stolen bases. With another year of experience and consistent playing time next season, Simpson should improve all of those numbers. On defense, Simpson will likely take Gus Mil- ners spot in right feld. Kansas baseball fans are used to Ritchie Price batting second and playing shortstop. Te third and fnal Price brother, Robby, could fnd himself replacing Ritchie at both spots. Robby was a Louisville Slugger Preseason First Team All- American this spring and led Free State High School to its frst state championship. Even as a fresh- man, Robby should be a regular contributor for the Jayhawks. Junior John Allman hit .333 in 2006 with six home runs, 16 dou- bles, 48 runs, 52 RBI and seven sto- len bases. Allman started in lef feld all but six games last season and should remain there next season. Junior Erik Morrison also had a solid 2006 campaign. He hit .290 with a team-leading 14 hom- ers, 15 doubles, 47 runs, 52 RBI and seven stolen bases. He only missed three games at third base last season and will man the hot corner again in 2007. As far as home runs go, Pres- ton Land had the best year ever by a Kansas freshman with nine round trippers in 2006. He also hit .314 with 27 runs and 33 RBI. Land started 40 games at frst base last year and should surpass that By Jack weinStein jweinstein@kansan.com kansan staff writer Te University of Kansas ath- letics teams posted the second highest GPA in school history last semester. Te 14 teams posted a combined 2.93 GPA. Te high- est still stands at 2.98, which was posted in Spring 2004. Paul Buskirk, associate athlet- ics director, student athlete sup- port services, attributed the rise in GPA to a number of things. With the arrival of Lew Perkins, athlet- ics director, in summer 2003, in- creases within the academic side of the Athletics Department in- creased markedly, Buskirk said. Jim Marchiony, associate ath- letics director, said Perkins evalu- ated the academic support within the department. When Lew came here, he looked around everything, every aspect of what we do here, Mar- chiony said. He thought imme- diately that we needed to increase our support, improve our student athlete support area. Weve in- creased the staf and the tutoring budget. Buskirk also attributed the re- cent academic success of the stu- dent athletes at the University to their recent athletic success. He noted the football team specif- cally. Te Jayhawks fnished 7-5, 3-5 Big 12, which included a vic- tory in the Houston Bowl the second bowl appearance for the Hawks in the past three years.

By fred a. davis iii fdavis@kansan.com Editors note: Game 6 of the NBA Finals was still underway when the Kansan went to press Tuesday night. Dwyane Wade has been absolutely sick throughout the 2006 NBA playoffs. The fifth-overall pick in the 2003 draft, a draft that will go down as one of the greatest NBA drafts scratch that one of the greatest drafts in professional sports history. Wade is doing his best M.J. imper- sonation this postseason and is trying to become the first member of that heralded group to lead his team to a ring. Forgot who was in that draft? LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Wade, Chris Kaman, Chris Bosh, Kirk Hinrich, Nick Collison, Kyle Korver, Josh Howard and Luke Walton. A few names left off were Darko Milicic, Michael Sweetney, Jarvis Hayes, Marcus Banks and Troy Bell... Troy Bell? The guy hasnt logged real NBA minutes since his rookie season and can be seen on the side of a milk carton with the caption, last spotted with the Oklahoma City Hornets in preseason help with jump shot if found. All right, the 2003 NBA draft may not be one of the greatest drafts in sports his- tory, but it is a pretty darn good one and will have plenty of rings to boast when all is said and done. Back to Wade, who continues to punish the Mavericks, and I dont know if punish is a strong enough word; brutalize, destroy, maim, kill, torture seem as though they fit nicely, because thats exactly what Wade has done to the Mavs and the rest of the NBA during his third playoff run. Through five games of the NBA finals, Wade averaged a smidge under 35 points per game and shot 45 percent from the field. Not bad considering he put up 121 shots in those five games. Now the Mavs, who have their own gem from that 2003 draft class, Josh Howard, taken with the last pick of the first round, have tried just about everything to slow Wade down. Zone defenses have failed, second-year man Devin Harris, while quick enough, is just not strong enough.

The Jayhawks fnished the regular sea- son ranked No. 24. The softball team won its frst Big 12 Conference tournament championship this past season en route to the teams most victories in a season since 1997. The Jay- hawks also advanced to the NCAA Regionals Softball Tournament be- fore being eliminated by 14th seed Washington in Provo, Utah. Arizona, Northwestern, UCLA, Tennessee and Texas made up the top fve, respectively, of the fnal poll. Big 12 schools Nebraska, No. 15, Oklahoma, No. 17, Texas A&M, No. 18 and Baylor, No. 21, were also ranked in the fnal poll. Jack Weinstein Basketball adds three games to schedule Kansas basketball has added three more games to its home schedule for the upcoming season. Dartmouth College will travel to Allen Fieldhouse for a game on Nov. 28 for the frst ever meeting between the two schools, The Uni- versity of Detroit Mercy will oppose the Jayhawks on Dec. 28 for the third meeting in the series, the frst since 1986. The University of Rhode Island will be in Lawrence on Dec. 30 for the frst meeting between the two schools since Rhode Island eliminat- ed Kansas in the second round of the 1998 NCAA tournament. Jim Marchiony, Kansas associ- ate athletics director, said that the schedule is still subject to change. Theres still more games to schedule, Marchiony said. At least one game, maybe two. It changes so much that a game that we had a month ago may not exist now, Thats why we dont put anything out until its done. The fnal schedule may be com- plete by the end of July, at the earli- est, Marchiony said. Jack Weinstein KU/ MU football game to be televised on ABC
The Kansas vs. Missouri football game this season will be televised nationally on ABC. The season f- nale for both schools will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday Nov. 25 at Farout Field in Columbia, Mo. Jim Marchiony, Kansas asso- ciate athletics director, said that a nationally televised game was great exposure for the University of Kansas. Its good for our fans, Marchio- ny said. Its good for our program. It highlights one of the great rival- ries in the country. KU/MU is one of the most intense rivalries in all of college sports. Its good, itll be on full display this year. Marchiony also said the game, televised on network television, says a lot about the progress the program was making. People at the networks and people in general were taking notice of what was go- ing on at Kansas. The game will mark the 115th meeting between the two schools and is the oldest rivalry in college football west of the Mississippi River. Jack Weinstein Pitcher earns more postseason awards Don Czyz has two more honors to add to his ever-growing list of postseason awards. The National Collegiate Baseball Writers Asso- ciation named Czyz a Pro-Line C a p / NC B WA First Team All- American on June 13. On the same day, Baseball Amer- ica, http://www. baseballamer- ica.com, named Czyz a Second Team All-American. Czyz, a senior right-handed clos- er for the Jayhawks, has already been named a Louisville Slugger First Team All-American, All-Big 12 First team, the NCBWA Stopper of the Year, a College Baseball Foun- dation All-American and was draft- ed in the 7th round by the Florida Marlins. Czyz fnished the 2006 season with 19 saves, a 6-0 record, a 1.56 ERA and 60 strikeouts in 63.1 in- nings. His two biggest saves of the season were his last two. His 18th save clinched the Big 12 Championship for Kansas, as well as an automatic bid to an NCAA Regional. His 19th save came in Kansas frst regional game in 12 years, a 9-6 victory against Hawaii. Shawn Shroyer Fairchild to embark on professional career A seventh Jayhawk from the 2006 squad has the opportunity to embark on his professional base- ball career. Senior right-hander Ricky Fairch- ild signed a free agent contract with the Cleveland Indians. F a i r c h i l d transferred to Kansas from Tu- lane this season and became a mainstay in the Kansas week- end rotation. In 18 starts, Fairch- ild garnered a 6-6 record and ate up 95.1 in- nings while compiling 42 strikeouts. He tied senior closer Don Czyz for second-most victories on the team and only senior right-hander Kodiak Quick pitched more innings. Czyz, Quick, senior outfeld- er Gus Milner, senior shortstop Ritchie Price, senior infelder Jared Schweitzer and junior left-hander Sean Land were all drafted in last weeks MLB Amateur Draft. Shawn Shroyer KU forward, Giles has surgery on right thumb Kansas ju- nior forward CJ Giles had minor surgery to repair torn ligaments in his right thumb. The injury oc- curred while he was working out June 13. Giles will avoid contact drills for the next six weeks, but can resume individual workouts in the next two to three weeks. The Seattle native averaged 6.2 points and 4.8 rebounds in 33 games last season. He is ex- pected to be an integral part of the returning Big 12 Conference regular season co-champions and Big 12 Conference tournament champions.

Wade, but just doesnt have the quicks to keep up. The aforementioned Howard has taken his turn, but came away with only hurt feelings. So who can stop Dwyane Wade? Or at least slow him down? Youll have to leave the Mavericks roster, skip the Pistons, bypass the Nets and find another member of that 2003 draft class, #12 on the Chicago Bulls. Thats right, KUs very own, the floppy- haired one, Kirk Hinrich. Perhaps a steady paycheck has allowed Hinrich to ditch the lazy locks, but the 63, 190 lbs. former third-team All-Ameri- can from Iowa is as good as it gets when it comes to defending Wade. During the regular season, Wade aver- aged 27.2 points per game. In three con- tests against the Bulls, he averaged just more than 12. Through 22 playoff games, (last nights game not included), Wade averaged 28 points per contest. Hinrich and the Bulls limited him to 24.6 a game, his lowest of the four series he has played in. The Bulls also held Wade to his lowest field goal per- centage of the playoffs, holding the former Marquette star to 42 percent shooting. That number looks even better when compared to the could-somebody-please- put-a-hand-in-his-face-defense employed by the allegedly defense-minded Pistons; Wade shot 64 percent against Mo Town. Defensively, Hinrich is one of the best in the NBA. Not surprising, really when you consider he was a defensive stud while at KU. Just ask Kareem Rush. While Hinrichs profile in the league was already on the rise, his defensive efforts on Wade should boost his stature even more. And the timing couldnt be any better. Hin- rich is heading into a contract year as he enters his fourth professional season in 2006-2007. The Bulls have boatloads of cash under the salary cap and would be wise to invest in one of the better all-around NBA players in Hinrich. If not, well, theres always Dallas. -- Davis is a Topeka senior in journalism and english BY PAUL NEWBERRY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS RALEIGH, N.C. Tanks to the kid, all those Carolina old-timers fnally got to hoist the Stanley Cup. Rod BrindAmour cried. Bret Hedican jumped for joy. Even Doug Weight bad shoulder and all lifed hockeys most re- vered trophy above his head. It tilted slightly to his right, but he held on. No way the Hurricanes were going to let this one slip away. Cam Ward made sure of that. Te rookie goalie stopped nearly everything that came his way, fnishing of a brilliant play- ofs with a rock-solid performance in Game 7. Te Hurricanes skated away with their frst Stanley Cup title, beating Edmonton 3-1 in the winner-take-all fnale Monday night. Ward, only 22, won the Conn Smythe Tro- phy as most valuable player of the postseason. Goaltending wins you championships, make no mistake about it, said BrindAmour, the 35- year-old captain, his eyes still red afer he lef the ice. I got to raise the cup because of that kid. BrindAmour wasnt the only member of the 30-something club who fnally broke through. Tere was Hedican, 35, who lost in his frst two trips to the fnals. And Weight, 35, who f- nally made it for the frst time in his 15th sea- son. And Whitney, 34, who didnt reach the f- nals until Year 14. And the most patient one of all, 37-year-old Glen Wesley, who had played in the eighth-most regular-season games (1,311) in NHL history without winning a championship. All of them will be getting their names on the cup. Finally. Tat was probably the greatest feeling of my life, coach Peter Laviolette said. To watch those guys hold the cup over their head that is what I will remember. A couple of defensemen, Aaron Ward and Frantisek Kaberle, staked Carolina to a 2-0 lead through two periods. Justin Williams fn- ished of the Oilers, scoring an empty-net goal with 1:01 remaining afer Edmonton playof star Fernando Pisani broke up Cam Wards shutout early in the third. Oilers defenseman Chris Pronger, a stal- wart throughout the postseason, gave up the puck in the Carolina zone and wound up mak- ing a helpless dive to block Williams gimme into the goal that had been vacated by Jussi Markkanen in favor of an extra skater. BY JANIE MCCAULET THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN FRANCISCO Members of the San Francisco Giants coaching staf have been contacted by former Sen. George Mitchell in his independent investigation of steroids in baseball. I understand some guys were supposed to (talk to him), Giants manager Felipe Alou told Te Associated Press on Monday. Tats all I know. Tat is very personal. I dont ask these guys. Several people within Major League Base- ball confrmed that coaches on Alous staf had heard from Mitchell. Tey spoke on condition of anonymity afer being asked not to discuss the investigation publicly. Harvey Shields, one of Giants slugger Barry Bonds personal train- ers, who works for the team, also was being sought by Mitchell. Te former Senate majority leader was ap- pointed in March by commissioner Bud Selig to head the leagues investigation into steroids in the sport. Bonds, second on the career home run list behind Hank Aaron, is among the players be- ing investigated. Alou said he had not yet been contacted by Mitchell, but I probably will. A Giants spokesman said the entire coach- ing staf declined to comment about Mitchells investigation because Major League Baseball asked teams not to discuss the subject publicly to protect the integrity of the probe. Selig has said he was prompted to launch an investigation in part by the spring release of the book Game of Shadows, by two San Francisco Chronicle reporters who detailed Bonds alleged use of steroids, insulin and hu- man growth hormone. Tere is no timetable for completing the in- vestigation. Authors Lance Williams and Mark Fainaru- Wada wrote that Bonds started using steroids because he was jealous of the attention paid to Mark McGwires home run race with Sammy Sosa in 1998. Te 41-year-old Bonds, who passed Babe Ruth with his 715th career home run last month, has always denied using steroids of any other performance-enhancing drugs _ insist- ing everything he has accomplished is a prod- uct of natural talent and hard work. Hunt for steroids turns to Giants MLB HURRICANES FINALLY WIN FIRST STANLEY CUP TITLE NHL Paul Chiasson/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Carolina Hurricanes coach Peter Laviolette kisses the Stanley Cup after winning Game 7 of the Stanley Cup hockey nals over the Edmonton Oilers in Ra- leigh, N.C. on Monday June 19, 2006. COLUMN (CONTINUED FROM 16) SPORTS WEDNESDAY, JUNE 21, 2006 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 19 GPA (CONTINUED FROM 16) number in 2007. Despite an injury-plagued 2006 season, Ryne Price hit nine home runs in 86 at-bats. If his injury problems are behind him, Ryne should be a regular at second base in 2007. Sophomore Justin Ellrich saw limited ac- tion last season, but showed some potential to be Kansas designated hitter. In 48 at-bats, Ellrich had one home run, three doubles, four RBI and seven runs. Te catcher position appears to be up for grabs for 2007. Sophomore Buck Afenir and senior Dylan Parzyk combined to hit .228 last season, but Afenir did hit .375 with a home run and six RBI during the Big 12 tournament. Afenir and Parzyks competition in 2007 will be incoming transfers Joe Servais from Garden City CC and Joe Southers from Phoenix Col- lege . Servais hit .356 as a sophomore for the Broncbusters with 14 extra base hits, 36 RBI, 54 runs and 13 stolen bases. Southers hit .393 as a sophomore for the Bears with 11 extra base hits, 24 RBI and 16 runs. Center feld will be one of the biggest holes to fll in 2007. Matt Baty played solid defense there, was always a base-stealing threat and was a career .320 hitter. Senior Kyle Murphy has the most potential to do the same next season. Murphy displayed a stellar glove last season and might have even more speed than Baty, but his hitting a .153 average was a weakness in 2006. PITCHING STAFF: Kansas will have a plethora of young pitch- ers to choose from to replace Land, Fairchild and Quick in its weekend rotation. However, sophomore Nick Czyz appears to be the only clear-cut favorite to fll a weekend spot. Czyzs early season struggles in 2006 hurt his overall numbers (4-3 record, 5.11 ERA and 30 walks in 49.1 innings), but the lefy made hitters look silly at times with 45 strikeouts and grew up in a hurry, earning the win in the Big 12 Champi- onship game against Nebraska. Senior Brendan McNamara is another can- didate to start on weekends. As a middle re- liever and midweek starter in 2006, he went 3-3 with a 3.86 ERA and 40 strikeouts in 51.1 innings. To fll the third weekend spot, coach Ritch Price may look to land a transfer from a Divi- sion I school, as he did last season with Fairch- ild. Garden City CC transfer Aaron Breit looked like the most likely candidate for the spot, but afer being drafed in the 2005 MLB Amateur Draf by San Diego, Breit signed with the Padres the day before this years draf. Sophomore Andy Marks has a good chance at being a long reliever on weekends and a midweek starter for the Jayhawks. Te lef- handed Marks had a 2-1 record in 2006 with a 5.35 ERA and 31 strikeouts in 33.2 innings. Afer Marks, Kansas could fnd regular set- up men in transfers Andres Esquibel and Hiara- li Garcia. Esquibel went 8-4 as a sophomore for Palomar College with a 2.63 ERA and 65 strikeouts in 92.1 innings. Garcia went 6-3 as a sophomore for Eastern Oklahoma State College with a 2.58 ERA and 89 strikeouts in 83.7 in- nings. If Kansas doesnt add to its roster before next season, Esquibel and Garcia may battle for spots in the weekend rotation. Filling in for Kansas legend Don Czyz to close games will be sophomore Paul Smyth. De- spite a 6.13 ERA last season, he compiled a 5-1 record and one save. Smyth also had 37 strike- outs to 15 walks in 54.1 innings. Any time you win the Big 12 conference, youre on the map, Baty said. It was hard to get there, but the hardest part is going to be for the younger guys to sustain that. It can be easy just to fall right back of that map. Edited by Dani Hurst ny said the goal was still a 4.0 GPA. While he said that feat may be dif cult to attain with more than 500 student athletes at the Univer- sity, he said that they wouldnt come close if they didnt shoot for it. Marchiony added that one of the main goals of the department was to put every student athlete on track to graduate in a four to fve- year period. With the time they put into their sports, it requires dedication on the student athletes part, Marchiony said. It requires a dedicated faculty, which we have. It requires help from the student support area, which we have. With those things in place, I think were going to continue to see positive results. Were not satisfed with a 2.93. Were pleased that we have 40 athletes with 4.0s, but we want more than that.

Think carefully and understand how unpredictable or volatile a situ- ation might be. Move only after you feel you have grasped the situation. Tonight: Say yes. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You want to defer to others very quickly. You dont need to carry the weight of a problem. You need to discover what makes you tick, as a partner could challenge your very essence. Tonight: Easy does it. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH Your imagination takes you in a new direction. Test your limits when dealing with someone who can be a hothead, especially with money. Think positively about a difference of opinion, and work with each individual. Tonight: Use your imagination. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH You could get into it with a fellow associate, loved one or friend. Be smart; dont take the bait. You might be unpredictable fnancially. Your checkbook could hurt you before you know it. Tonight: Happy at home. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Your fery energy could put others off. You have little tolerance for sticks-in- the-mud right now. Realize that you could be overly critical. You could switch gears quite suddenly, out of the blue. Tonight: Out with friends.
