When Mikey Munden drives
home after a night on the town
on the weekend, he knows he is
in for a long walk.
The Olathe senior lives at
1321 Tennessee St. and, like
most Oread neighborhood
residents, he parks his car in
the alley behind his house.
And like most residents who
live near 14th and Tennessee
streets, he usually fnds his
apartment parking spaces al-
ready flled.
There have been nights I
had to park two or three blocks
away from my house, Munden
said.
In the alleys of Ohio, Tennes-
see and Kentucky streets, there
are numerous signs warning
drivers that parking in the pri-
vate lots will result in a tow. Yet
night after night, these spaces
are flled by patrons of nearby
bars: The Hawk, The Bull and
The Wheel. Drivers continue
to ignore the signs and in some
cases, the signs are no more than
an empty threat.
Sgt. Dan Ward, spokesman
for the Lawrence Police Depart-
ment, said that only the owners
of the property had the legal
right to have cars towed from
their private property.

The microburst that hit Law-
rence on March 12 marked an
early beginning to tornado sea-
son. Even though it hit just a
week before the start of spring,
we can get severe weather any-
time of the year, said Curt Hol-
derbach of the Topeka National
Weather Service.
The peak severe weather sea-
son when Kansas is likely to
experience the most tornadoes,
microbursts and thunderstorms
is in April, May and June,
Holderbach said.
Microbursts can cover an
area up to several miles wide.
The storm starts above, and a
downburst of wind spreads as it
hits the ground. The winds can
reach 70 to 90 mph, Holderbach
said.
The National Weather Service
tries to issue watches and warn-
ings as early as possible, which
is usually 15 to 20 minutes in
advance but could be less, Hol-
derbach said.
The National Weather Ser-
vice isnt responsible for decid-
ing when to sound the sirens;
the local Emergency Manage-
ment team is. Douglas Countys
policy states that the sirens will
go off when a local determina-
tion is made based on National
Weather Service watches and
warnings, local storm spotters,
law enforcement and weather
radar.
The on-duty Emergency
Management offcer makes the
ultimate call to set off the sirens
as a take cover warning to citi-
zens.
If people want to be pre-
pared, Holderbach suggests
buying a NOAA Weather Radio,
the offcial radio of the National
Weather Service.
The radios can be purchased
at electronics stores, depart-
ment stores and the Douglas
County Emergency Manage-
ment Offce, 111 E. 11th St.
The radios usually cost $30 to
$40.
NOAA radios have been
around for more than 40 years,
but new, programmable radios
have been available for the past
eight to 10 years, Holderbach
said.

For the frst time in Student
Senate election history, the Stu-
dent Athlete Advisory Com-
mittee will offcially pick presi-
dential and vice-presidential
candidates to support.
To help make the decision,
the committee
held a town hall
meeting Mon-
day night. The
presidential and
vice presiden-
tial candidates
of Ignite and
Delta Force
answered ques-
tions from the
student athletes
in attendance.
One of our
goals this year
in SAAC Lead-
ership was to
get more involved with the Uni-
versity as a whole and create a
connection between the rest of
the University and our athletic
department, said Chris Jones,
member of SAAC and School of
Business senator. We know that
very few people know what each
party stands for so we felt it was
important to educate our group.
Jones, who is part of the KU
track and feld team, said the
group will announce which
candidate the committee will
back on April 5. He said the
group was waiting to make the
announcement until a piece of
legislation that would add a stu-
dent athlete representative seat
to Senate was decided on. He
was worried that if the commit-
tee announced who it was back-
ing, it would affect the turn out
of the vote.
During the town hall meeting,
the Delta Force coalition also
proposed the idea of creating a
student athlete senate seat. Jones
said it was interesting that the
coalition did that without know-
ing that SAAC had already gen-
erated the legislation to do it.
That was cool to see and
showed us that
they are on the
exact same page
as us, Jones
said.
B r i d g e t
Franklin, To-
peka senior
and vice presi-
dential candi-
date for Delta
Force, said the
coalition was
excited that
student athletes
were showing
their support
and interest in the elections this
spring.
Delta Force wants to do as
much as we can to help out stu-
dent athletes, and thats some-
thing thats not going to change
whether or not we win this en-
dorsement, Franklin said.
The issue that raised the most
questions during the meeting
had to do with the student fee in-
crease to the womens and non-
revenue sports that will be on a
referendum on election ballots.
Jones said it was important
to hear where both candidates
stood on the fee increase issue
because it was that most recent
issue that has directly affected
the student athletes.

Politician emphasizes
power of the citizen
By fred a. davis iii
fdavis@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Biblical verses and a stub-
born taxpayer who helped make
a monumental policy change in
his state were just a couple of
the items brought up Wednes-
day afternoon by former Colo-
rado Senator John Andrews at
the Robert J. Dole Institute of
Politics.
As part of Dole Fellow Alan
Cobbs Study Group series, An-
drews spoke candidly about how
regular citizens could change
the political process without
being elected to offce.
Andrews used examples of
people who changed his states
government. His most poignant
was Douglas Bruce, a domi-
neering, determined man whose
zeal, as Andrews described it,
was his most redeeming quality
in getting Colorado to fnally
pass a Taxpayers Bill of Rights
(TABOR), in which voters must
approve any state or local tax
increase.
According to Andrews, Bruce
was not the most pleasant of fel-
lows to be around, but he was
the key individual who kept the
Taxpayers Bill of Rights push
going in Colorado, despite the
bill not passing until the fourth
time it was presented in the state
legislature.
If Bruce had decided to
move away in January of 1991,
then TABOR doesnt pass in
1992, Andrews said.
The Colorado Taxpayers Bill of
Rights law is commonly referred
to as the Bruce amendment.
Throughout his lecture
Wednesday, Andrews brought
up more examples of regular
people that made a difference
and how the mind of politics is
more important than the muscle
of politics.
To illustrate that point, he
read a passage from the Old
Testament that told the story of
an old wise man shunned by
the towns political hierarchy
who saved his small town
from facing possible extinction
at the hands of a large military
unit that was approaching.
While no explanation was giv-
en as to how the old man saved
the town, it was the principle
of one persons ideas that
was the important factor.

Friends share more
than morning sickness
COOS BAY, Ore. - Best
friends since ffth grade, Tasha
Riddle and Raquel Mitola are
both pregnant.
Theyre both having twins.
They experienced morning
sickness and their feet became
sore at the same time. They
even share the same due date:
June 7.
So what else could they
have in common?
The four babies three
girls and a boy have the
same parents: Riddle and her
husband, John.
After seven years of trying
unsuccessfully to have a baby,
the Riddles accepted Mitolas
offer to act as a surrogate
mother.
Then, unexpectedly, Riddle
got pregnant as well.
We had expected to have
one baby for years, and now
were gonna have four! John
Riddle told the Coos Bay news-
paper, The World. But the real
exciting time will come in a
couple of months.
Tasha Riddle had undergone
numerous in-vitro fertilizations
and miscarried 11 times.
After the last miscarriage,
their fertility specialist sug-
gested they consider a surro-
gate parent.
It was their fnal attempt at
parenthood.
Mitola, who has two chil-
dren of her own, said she is
happy to help her friend expe-
rience motherhood.

Dog lovers save pug
through internet
FOREST LAKE, Minn. A
pug named Buck has been
saved, thanks to a group
of dog lovers who bonded
through the Internet.
After the 2-year-old pug was
hit by a car last week and broke
three legs, its owners, Colleen
and Jim Bighley, were faced
with a $3,000 surgery bill that
they werent able to afford.
Colleen Bighley shared her
grief on a pug-lovers Web site
and wrote about her plans to
give the dog one night at home
before putting it to sleep.
But 14 minutes after Bigh-
leys post, a pug owner in Aus-
tralia offered to donate money
for the surgery.
Others followed, and more
than 200 donations totaling
about $2,000 came in, from as
far away as France and Alaska.
Buck is home recuperating
now, and Bighley has a new
appreciation for Web ties.

sebelius determines
damages from winds
Gov. Kathleen Sebelius
has requested federal aid for
Douglas County and Wyan-

the storm that hit March 12, her
offce announced Wednesday.
Sebelius sent a letter to
President George Bush Tuesday
asking for the federal govern-
ment to help restore damaged
local and state infrastructure
and help with debris removal.
We want things to return
to normal as quickly as pos-
sible for the KU campus and
those impacted in these two
counties, she said in a press
release. I appreciate President
Bushs phone call express-
ing concern shortly after the
storms, and I hope we hear
back from our federal partners
quickly on this request.
The University of Kansas has
reported an initial assessment of
$6 million in damages, including
60 percent of its buildings. The
governors offce said there have
been more than $5 million in
damages to Douglas County.

safety Offce reports
decrease in crime
According to a press release
from University Relations, the
KU Public Safety Offce re-
ported Wednesday that crimes
in parking lots where surveil-
lance cameras were installed
last year dropped 23 percent.
Overall, crime reported on
the Lawrence campus dropped
nearly 8 percent in 2005.
Except for a slight increase in
2003, the Lawrence campus has
experienced a steady decline in
reported crimes since 1997.
Any time we can report a
decrease in the number of re-
ported crimes on this campus,
we are extremely pleased,
said Chief Ralph V. Oliver.
Last August security cameras
were installed in 10 campus lots.
The cameras, funded by the
chancellors and provosts offc-
es, record continuously and are
monitored during evening hours
when classes are in session.
Reported thefts on campus
decreased overall, though
there was a slight increase in
bike thefts. Crimes such as
burglary and criminal dam-
age to property both showed
decreases.
The University administra-
tions support of this project was
key to both its implementation
and completion, Oliver said.

t student senate
By Rachel PaRkeR

Kansan staff writer
A bill that would require KU
media outlets to offer 10 percent
of their advertising space and
time to student organizations for
free was defeated unanimously
in a Student Senate committee
meeting Wednesday night.
The legislation was put forth
by senior senator Arthur Jones at
the university affairs committee
meeting. Jones said he thought
it was part of the duty of media
outlets like The University Daily
Kansan, KJHK, Kiosk and the
Student Writers Association to
help other student groups thrive
and be successful.
Most of the discussion fo-
cused on how the bill would
affect the Kan-
san, the only
media outlet
with represen-
tatives present.
Shane Kucera,
chairman of the
Student Media
Board, and Jonathan Kealing,
editor of the Kansan, opposed
the legislation and said the
change would seriously affect
the Kansans budget as well as
students media fee costs.

tising. This goes to ads such
as This Week On Campus, a
half-page advertising section for
student groups that is published
three days a week.
Kealing said the Kansan
would lose the $30,000 if the
bill took effect,
and would have
to compensate
for $100,000 of
free advertising
costs because of
lost sales com-
mission, as well
as ink and paper costs.
Jones said he didnt think
the Kansan would be strapped
for cash, and if so, another bill
could be proposed in the fall for
increased funding.
Nolan T. Jones, chairman of
the Student Senate advertis-
ing sub-committee, works with
the groups that are put into the
This Week On Campus sec-
tion. He and Kealing agreed that
the issue at large should have
been brought to conversation
earlier in the year, and should
have been outside of Student
Senate Committee meetings.
Arthur Jones admitted he
didnt expect the bill to pass, but
said he had been thinking about
the issue for two years, but nev-
er said anything to battle the
Kansan because he was running
for election. He is graduating
in May and said he wanted the
proposed action to be remem-
bered for further discussion in
the future.
He took his case to the f-
nance committee after the uni-
versity affairs committee rejected
the bill, The fnance committee
discussion proved to be more
favorable toward Arthur Jones
statements, but the committee
chose not to vote.

Kansan correspondent
The annual Majors Fair held
Tuesday at the Ballroom in the
Kansan Union gave students the
opportunity to learn more about
majors offered at the University
of Kansas.
When Andrea Stecklein, El
Salvador, junior, graduated from
high school, she wasnt sure what
college to attend and had no in-
tention of going to the University.
But after attending two colleges
in El Salvador and a community
college in Austin, Texas, she end-
ed up at the University.
My dad went to KU, and
my parents kept pushing me so
much, Stecklein said.
Stecklein switched her major
from pre-business to pre-law
and attended the SUA-spon-
sored event because she wanted
to learn more about it.
I had a general idea about
the school, but I set up appoint-
ments with advisers. Id rather
have more one-on-one than just
reading about it on-line, Steck-
lein said.
Steve Nichols, president of
Phi Alpha Delta Law Fraternity,
an organization that networks
for students pursuing careers
in law, welcomed the chance to
talk with students.
We give them a lot of infor-
mation, Nichols said. They
can learn about some of the
coursework they need to take,
and we give them a greater
awareness of resources that we
can provide,
Students can set up advis-
ing appointments any time. But
Ryan Gove of the Freshman-
Sophomore Advising Center
said the Majors Fair offered a
unique opportunity.
We can sit with students
one-on-one, Gove said. But
the Majors Fair gives them the
chance to interact with different
departments and see how many
options they really have.

Spaces

The only way tenants can
have cars towed from their park-
ing spaces is if their landlords
give them a statement in writ-
ing, giving them permission to
have cars towed. The Lawrence
police have to verify the letter.
Rick Kupper, Lawrence land-
lord, owns nine properties in
Lawrence, most of them in the
Oread neighborhood, including
apartments at 1321 Tennessee St.
He said that drivers parking
in the alleys and taking up actu-
al residents parking places was
not a new problem.
Every year its the same
thing, and every year it seems to
get worse, Kupper said.
Kupper said that some of his
tenants had asked for letters of per-
mission, but the majority had not.
Kupper recalled that one night,
one of his tenants who worked
nights was trying to leave for
work and her car was boxed in
by a car from a party next door.
Kupper called a tow service to
have the vehicle towed. In the
middle of the night, he drove
from his Kansas City, Mo., home
to Lawrence, so he could sign
paper work required by a towing
company. Kupper said he didnt
mind the extra effort to get the
car towed.
Thats just part of the job,
Kupper said.
But not all Oread residents
are so lucky. Marvin Schaal,
a tow truck driver for Quality
Tow & Recovery, 529 Maple
St., has been towing vehicles
all over Lawrence for four
years.
He said that the company
used to receive many calls from
one apartment complex located
at 14th and Ohio streets, di-
rectly across the street from The
Wheel. The company recently
stopped towing cars from the
apartment complex.
Schaal said that the alley was
too narrow for the companys large
trucks to do their job without the
risk of damaging other vehicles.
Its just not worth the head-
ache, Schall said.

Candidates
All four candidates answered
that they were in favor of the in-
crease.
I think we were able to let
the athletes know that we sup-
ported what they did and that
we would love to continue to
get input from them on what
they need as students, said Ja-
son Boots, Plano, Texas, senior
and presidential candidate for
Ignite.
Jones said he was happy with
the way the town hall meeting
turned out.
He said he thought both par-
ties did a good job of address-
ing important issues as well as
providing sincere answers to the
questions.
It really got people inter-
ested and got student athletes
realizing there is a lot more
out there that is important
outside of athletics, Jones
said.
Jones said that SAAC
planned to put in a aggres-
sive effort to make student
athletes more influential on
campus.
He said there were more
than 470 members, which
means that the winning coali-
tion of this endorsement could
make a difference in the elec-
tion results.
Tornado
The programmable radios al-
low the user to either turn the
radio on and listen to 24-hour
forecasting, or set the radio to
tone-alert mode, which means it
will only turn on when the Na-
tional Weather Service issues a
severe weather watch or warning.
When it turns on, it will sound
a tone loud enough to wake up
the user. The newer radios can
also be programmed to turn on
for watches and warnings in one
specifc county, although Hold-
erbach said it would be wise to
include the surrounding coun-
ties for more warning.
Once aware of the storm, people
should go to the safest place near-
by that they can. The storms pass
quickly, Holderbach said, so you
wont have to stay crouched in a
corner for long. Hopefully when
its over, neither you nor your home
will be damaged, and you can go
about daily business until the next
siren or NOAA radio warning.

Weeklong activities
address labor issues
The University of Kansas
will address current and
historical labor issues, such
as the exploitation of labor-
ers and activists who have
sought change for them,
during KU Student and
Community Labor Week of
Action.
Events will include a
series of movie screenings,
discussions and lectures
today through Tuesday.
The week is a collabora-

darity (Apoyo Trabajador),
KU Latin American Solidar-

store, KU Amnesty Interna-
tional and the Kaw Valley

Some workers are ex-
ploited, and its important to
understand their challenges,
said Jessica Cook, Topeka

Its important to educate
people about the issues that
affect all of us, she said.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOUSTON Seven months
after taking in about 200,000
Louisiana residents left home-
less by Hurricane Katrina,
Houstonians arent feeling so
hospitable anymore.
Many people in the nations
fourth-largest city complain
that the infux has led to more
murders and gang violence,
long lines at health clinics
and bus stops, and fghts and
greater overcrowding in the
schools. Some of those claims
are debatable, but the senti-
ment is real.
We still feel sorry for them. We
still want to help them, but its to
the point where enough is enough,
said Torah Whitaker, 25, of Mis-
souri City, a Houston suburb.
Houston received national
acclaim for accepting more Ka-
trina evacuees than any other
U.S. city.
It gave them apartments,
houses and health care, and
held job fairs for them. Celebri-
ties visited schools and brought
gifts for the youngsters.
About 150,000 refugees re-
main in the greater Houston
area, which has more than 4 mil-
lion people. While some evacu-
ees plan to return to Louisiana,
thousands have secured their
own housing and jobs and plan
to make Houston their home.
But a survey last month of
765 Houston-area residents
by Rice University sociologist
Stephen Klineberg found that
three-fourths believed that help-
ing the refugees put a consider-
able strain on the community,
and two-thirds blamed evacuees
for a surge in violent crime.
Half thought Houston would
be worse off if evacuees stayed,
while one-fourth thought the
city would be better off.
The murder rate between the
Katrina refugees arrival in Sep-
tember and last week was up
nearly 32 percent from the same
period a year ago, Houston Po-
lice Chief Harold Hurtt said.
He said some of that is attrib-
utable to Katrina refugees, but
added: I dont mean to send
the message that all Katrina
evacuees are involved in drug
dealing, gangs and violent of-
fenses.
Refugees were involved as
victims or suspects in 35 of
the 212 murders in that time
period, Hurtt said. Earlier this
month, half of the 18 people
arrested in an auto theft sweep
were evacuees.
Angelo Edwards, a storm vic-
tim from New Orleans and vice
chairman of the Katrina Sur-
vivors Association, said most
evacuees are law-abiding citi-
zens seeking jobs.
Associated Press writers Pam
Easton and Juan A. Lozano in
Houston contributed to this re-
port.

NEW ORLEANS Two
fred New Orleans police of-
fcers and one current offcer
were indicted Wednesday in the
videotaped beating of a retired
teacher in the French Quarter
last fall.
The Oct. 8 beating of Rob-
ert Davis, 64, was caught on
video by an Associated Press
Television News crew cover-
ing the aftermath of Hurricane
Katrina.
The three offcers were
charged with battery and other
offenses.
Davis spent more than an
hour testifying about the beat-
ing, which left him lying on
the street, hands cuffed and
blood fowing from his head
and face.
Afterward, he told reporters
that he still has headaches and
back problems and even had to
interrupt his testimony to take
medicine.
The retired elementary
school teacher said he was a
private citizen here on busi-
ness returning to my home.
There was no need for what
happened.
Davis said he had returned to
the storm-struck city to check
on his property and was look-
ing for a place to buy cigarettes
in the French Quarter when po-
lice grabbed him.
The videotape shows an
offcer hitting Davis at least
four times on the head. Davis
twisted and failed as he was
dragged to the ground by four
offcers.
One offcer kneed Davis and
punched him twice.
District Attorney Eddie Jor-
dan declined to say whether he
showed the video to the grand
jury, but he called it very im-
portant evidence.
When asked if the false im-
prisonment charge meant that
Davis should not have been ar-
rested, Jordan said that would
be a fair inference.
Offcer Stewart Smith had
ordered APTN producer Rich
Matthews and the cameraman
to stop recording.
When Matthews held up his
credentials, the offcer grabbed
him, jabbed him in the stomach
and delivered a profanity-laced
tirade.
Offcers Robert Evange-
list, 36, and Lance Schilling,
29, were charged with battery
against Davis. Smith, 50, was
charged with battery against a
reporter.
Evangelist and Schilling were
fred after the incident; Smith
was suspended but remains
with the police force.
The video also shows two FBI
agents joining the police in sub-
duing Davis. Their role is being
investigated by federal offcials.
A federal civil rights investi-
gation also was launched.
Without this videotape, Im
sure this case would be swept
under the rug, said Davis at-
torney, Joseph Bruno.
Later, he said the case gave
Davis a sense of victory be-
cause he did nothing wrong.
Davis has pleaded not guilty
to charges of public intoxica-
tion, resisting arrest, battery on
a police offcer and public in-
timidation. His lawyer said this
week he expects the charges
will be dropped.

SIDE, Turkey Thousands
of skygazers gathered in an an-
cient temple of Apollo and let
out cheers Wednesday as a total
solar eclipse turned day into twi-
light, casting an eerie blue glow
across the sky and the Mediter-
ranean Sea.
NASA astronomers handed
out protective glasses to hun-
dreds of Turkish children before
the eclipse cut a dark swath
across the sky a band that
stretched from Brazil, across
West Africa, Turkey and Central
Asia, then disappeared at sunset
in Mongolia.
The last total solar eclipse
was in November 2003, but that
was best viewed from sparsely
populated Antarctica. Wednes-
days eclipse blocked the sun in
highly populated areas.
In Ghana, automatic street
lamps switched on as the light
faded, and authorities sounded
emergency whistles in celebra-
tion. Schoolchildren and others
across the capital, Accra, burst
into applause.
Sunni and Shiite Muslims
in Iraq were summoned to
mosques during the eclipse for a
special prayer reserved for times
of fear and natural disasters.
In the Turkish resort of Side,
a crowd of some 10,000 be-
gan cheering and whistling as
the moon took its frst bite out
of the sun. When the moon
masked the sun and Venus sud-
denly appeared in the blue glow
of the darkened sky, another
loud cheer went up.
Its one of those experiences
that makes you feel like youre
part of the larger universe, said
NASA astronomer Janet Luh-
mann who witnessed the eclipse
from the ruins of an ancient Ro-
man theater just a few hundred
feet from the temple of Apollo.
As the moon covered the sun,
the temperature dropped quick-
ly and some skygazers put on
sweaters.
The sun blackened and a f-
ery rim surrounded it; the sky
turned an eerie dark blue while
a bright sunset red could be seen
on the horizon.
There was a festive atmo-
sphere in Side, with people
gathered on the fallen stones
and collapsed columns of the
temple dedicated to Apollo
god of the sun or on rocks at
a beach about 40 feet away.
A string quintet played classi-
cal music at the foot of the tem-
ples fve standing pillars and a
Turkish brewery distributed free
beer.
Vendors hawked eclipse T-
shirts and at one point, the star-
gazers began waving to a nearby
cruise ship.
Children sat on the ruined
stone steps of the second-centu-
ry Roman theater and watched
as astronomers from NASA and
the San Francisco-based Explor-
atorium science museum, using
large telescope and cameras,
broadcast the phenomenon live
on the Web.
Many in Ghana, a deeply reli-
gious country of Christians and
Muslims, said the eclipse bol-
stered their faith.
Ive never experienced this
and we all need to pray to God
and worship him. I believe its a
wonderful work of God, said
Solomon Pomenya, a 52-year
old doctor. This tells me that
God is a true engineer.
Total eclipses require the tilt-
ed orbits of the sun, moon and
Earth to line up exactly so that
the moon obscures the sun com-
pletely. The next total eclipse
will occur in 2008.

FREETOWN, Sierra Leone
Former Liberian President
Charles Taylor, captured on the
run in Nigeria with sacks full of
cash, was fown to Sierra Leone
on Wednesday to be tried on
war crimes charges.
A white U.N. helicopter car-
rying Taylor left neighboring
Liberia and landed inside the
compound of the U.N.-backed
war crimes tribunal that will try
the former warlord, U.N. off-
cials said. A second U.N. chop-
per also landed on the helipad
in the capital, Freetown.
Taylor then was jailed.
Taylor was captured Tues-
day night by security forces
in the far northeastern border
town of Gamboru, in Borno
State, nearly 600 miles from
the villa in southern Calabar
from which he reportedly dis-
appeared Monday night, Infor-
mation Minister Frank Nweke
said in a statement. He was
trying to cross the border into
Cameroon.
President Olusegun Obasan-
jo, who was visiting the White
House, gave few details about
Taylors arrest except to say he
was picked up in a car with his
wife and taken to a regional
state capital.
President Bush said he appre-
ciated Nigerias work in appre-
hending Taylor.
The fact that Charles Tay-
lor will be brought to justice in
a court of law will help Libe-
ria and is a sign of your deep
desire for there to be peace
in your neighborhood, Bush
told Obasanjo in an Oval Of-
fce meeting.
A Nigerian police offcial said
Taylor was in a vehicle with his
son, an aide and a local guide
when arrested.
They also were carrying two
110-pound sacks flled with
U.S. and European currency,
Alhaji Mohammed Aminu Bel-
lo said.
Taylor and his son were taken
into custody while the others
were let go, Bello said.
Taylor then was fown on a
plane bearing a Nigerian fag
to Monrovia, Liberia, where
hundreds of U.N. troops pa-
trolled.

Immigration is a bewilder-
ing, complex problem for the
United States with no clear an-
tagonist. Who should be let in?
What process should determine
eligibility? Should we blame
immigrants for wanting to be-
come citizens of our country?
There is no easy solution.
On one hand, Americans are
somewhat culpable for the present
crisis. Americans should be proud
that others want to immigrate to
our nation. It means that we have
done something right. It means
that we have something special
that other people want to share in.
Last time I checked, there was no
great push from anyone to cross
the border into China, Russia or
any other country. Oppressed
and down-trodden people want
to come here because we have
what they do not: free markets,
free speech, free press, and free
religion; in a word, freedom. Our
forebears saw this freedom and
came running. And, now, we are
free to enjoy the fruits of the sacri-
fces that they made.
Can we in good conscience
deny that freedom to other peo-
ple, even in the name of national
security? Our nation has made
such great strides toward promot-
ing freedom; we cannot go on to
say that these immigrants are not
worthy of enjoying their freedom
here, that they must do so in their
respective native lands. Sure, se-
curity is a risk, and we must take
every practical step to minimize
that risk. But, we cannot sum-
marily discount all foreigners as
terrorists and drug dealers.
On the other hand, immi-
grants to the United States do
not always help their situation.
During demonstrations last week,
one might have thought that the
protesters wanted Mexican, not
United States citizenship. Not
once did I see an American fag,
only Mexican. It was reason-
able enough grounds to question
where their true loyalties lie.
Moreover, as long as our society
continues to make special conces-
sions to these new immigrants in
schools, universities and the work
place such as in-state tuition
for children of illegal immigrants
it is questionable whether they
will ever be fully assimilated into
American society. If they are not
assimilated into American society,
they will always remain as mar-
ginalized, second-class citizens
and never enjoy the true freedoms
that our nation offers.
Again, this is a complex situa-
tion. Not all immigrants receive,
or even ask for, special accom-
modation. Not all immigrants
display such affection for the
nations they left behind. It
bears repeating that we cannot
just categorize all immigrants
into the same stereotypes. But,
stereotypes are always stereo-
types for a reason. There are
legitimate problems that require
strong laws to be enforced. No
program will be perfect in its
clemency toward the demoral-
ized and exploited, nor in its
justice for those who seek to
take advantage of American
generosity and compassion. But,
the answer does not lie on the
poles of unrestricted amnesty or
unmitigated xenophobia. There
has to be a happy medium.
n Soukup is a Lakin sophomore

Im dropping out of school
and moving to the beach. At
least, thats what I tell myself at
3:00 a.m. with half a term paper
done and another project to
fnish, for a subject I dont like
and wont ever use. Im in the
sophomore slump, that period
in college when I think to my-
self, What the hell am I doing
here? When the pressure of
college fnally outweighs the
distant hope of a six-fgure pay-
check, some students throw up
their hands in frustration and
say screw it, retreating back
to the safety of home to fnd a
job or to regain sanity.
Theres a general consen-
sus that any young adult not
enrolled in school is a deadbeat,
stalled out on the road of life.
For many of us, our parents and
teachers are the ones who push
college onto our plates, making
us swallow the belief that with-
out a college degree, we will die
alone in a box somewhere. In
England, its customary to take
a year off after secondary school
to explore other options before
committing to a university.
Not every successful per-
son in the world has a college
degree. Ted Turner, founder of
CNN and TBS, was expelled
from Brown University in 1960
for having a girl in his room.
Woody Allen went to New York
University, where he dropped
out because of poor grades. Bill
Gates dropped out of Harvard
to pursue his computer ca-
reer. According to the census
bureau, as of March 2005 only
36.1 percent of the population
had some sort of degree. Some
students leave college, plan-
ning to return and fnish their
degrees later. According to the
New York Times, Almost one
in three Americans in their
mid-twenties now fall into this
group, up from one in fve in
the late 1960s.
Unfortunately, times have
changed since the 1960s, and
starting a computer company or
becoming a world-class director
isnt as easy as it used to be.
These days, employers want
degrees, not just talent, and it
shows in the salaries of college
graduates. According to the
Times, men in their early 40s
without a college degree made
an average of $42,000 in 2000.
Those with a four-year degree
made $65,000.
Maybe college isnt for every-
one, and theres nothing wrong
with taking a break from the
hustle and bustle of academia.
Do what makes you happy,
even if that means dancing on a
pole or bagging groceries. Life
seems too short to waste on
homework, but for now, I think
Ill grit my teeth and bear it, be-
cause the next two years will set
me up for my last few decades.
n McLeod is an Overland Park
sophomore in journalism.
If the road to Little Rock
has revealed anything to me,
it is this: We must overcome
fear in order to deal with the
challenges currently facing our
country.
The frst weekend of Spring
Break was a dreary one, but not
even the gray clouds and the
rain could cover the obvious
poverty in the Ozark regions of
Missouri and Arkansas.
It is evident from the opinion
polls, the public outcry, the me-
dia coverage and the interna-
tional attention that America is
not living up to its potential.
The leaning shacks and
the long-abandoned farms on
the road to Little Rock take
those external ideas about the
problems in our country and
bring them home, right home.
My father would call this a
life lesson. John Locke, our
philosophical Founding Father,
would call it suffcient evidence
for the necessity of change in
government. I call it Interstate-
540.
I went to Little Rock because
it was a chance to spend some
time with my father and get out
of Lawrence. I wanted to know
what Little Rock had to teach
me about building a better
America. I had the questions
and I wanted answers.
I found part of my answer at
the William J. Clinton Presi-
dential Library & Museum.
Go ahead, call me a hippie
liberal even trees need hugs
some times but we all have
something to learn from Bill
Clintons time in offce.
Clinton once wrote, If we
are driven by our vision of a
better future, we will achieve
it. This vision is lacking in cur-
rent politics. Neither the Demo-
cratic Party nor the Republican
Party has offered us a vision of
a better future for America.
This was part of my answer.
In order to be a better country
we must overcome our doubts
and create a broad vision of a
bright future for all Americans.
But how do we do this?
The second stop I made that
day was at Little Rock Cen-
tral High School, the site of
the famous civil rights battle
to racially integrate public
schools in 1957. Central High
is an intimidating brick and
stone building that towers over
everything else in the neigh-
borhood. Next door a quaint,
well-restored, 1950s gas station
houses a museum about the
struggle. And somewhere in
between the pictures of the
black students being escorted
to class by the 101st Airborne
Division and the words of civil
rights leaders urging a peace-
ful coexistence of the races, I
found the second part of my
answer.
How do we create a vision of
a hopeful, prosperous future for
all Americans? Courage. The
strength and courage it took for
those students to attend school
under such hostile and violent
conditions are an example for
all of us.
President Clinton stated the
challenge eloquently, History
has a habit of testing us as
individuals and as a nation
a habit of demanding that
we choose between our hopes
and fears, between our vision
of how things ought to be and
an acceptance of things as they
are.
This is our test. It may not be
pleasant or easy, but we need
an inclusive vision, as individu-
als and a nation, that is based
on hope for the future and not
the fear of the present. And we
can do this by showing courage
in the face of adversity.
n Stuewe is a Lawrence sopho-
more in political science and
American studies.
The state of Florida is con-
sidering making high school
freshmen declare a major. The
proposal, by Gov. Jeb Bush,
has the intention of reducing
the dropout rate of high school
students by tailoring their sched-
ules to their future career plans.
Nevermind that some college
students cant even decide on
what their major is. The Uni-
versity of Kansas doesnt even
require its students to declare a
major until the second semester
of their sophomore years.
The University has no
problem with students who are
undecided. A brochure for the
Freshman-Sophomore Advis-
ing Center says that its fne not
to know your major right away
and that one of the primary ob-
jectives of the center is to help
students choose one.
Forcing high school students
to pick doesnt help anyone.
For students who already know
what they want to do, the
option is just a formal choice
that shouldnt make a differ-
ence. These students would
take the same classes anyway
if the school offered them. If it
doesnt offer courses that ap-
peal to these students, they are
out of luck anyway.
For students who dont
know, it narrows their options
by forcing them to pick a major.
A major would set a course
track and limit the ability to
see what appeals to a student
by limiting his or her ability to
sample a variety of classes.
For every high school fresh-
man who knows his major,
there are plenty more who have
no idea.
Who expects eighth graders
to have their careers planned?
And how many of them will
stick with their choices?
How many college students
graduate with a major and then
go on to do something unre-
lated?
The more the process of
choosing a major is left open,
the more freedom students
have to truly fnd a major that
interests them.

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan
Taliban militants launched a
rare attack on a coalition base in
southern Afghanistan Wednes-
day, killing an American and a
Canadian soldier and sparking
ferce U.S.-led retaliation that
left 32 insurgents dead in the
bloodiest fghting in months.
The attack came a day after
at least 10 people were killed in
two separate roadside bombings
and refected a growing intensity
of militant assaults after the Tal-
iban warned of a renewed offen-
sive this year.
Over the last fve or six weeks
there have been various proven
attacks mainly at night by the
Taliban on that base, but I think
it is fair to say this is the largest
we have seen thus far, British
spokesman Col. Chris Vernon
told reporters in Kandahar.
The battle began hours after
Taliban insurgents ambushed
an Afghan supply convoy as it
returned to the remote forward
operating base late Tuesday, kill-
ing eight Afghan soldiers, Ver-
non said.
U.S. and British warplanes
and helicopters were called in
to provide air support and a
Canadian quick reaction force
was sent from Kandahar to the
base, where a small contingent
of American and Canadian sol-
diers are stationed with Afghan
troops in the Sangin district of
the volatile Helmand province.
Early Wednesday, the base
came under a signifcant Tal-
iban attack, during which the
Canadian and American sol-
diers were killed, Vernon said.

NEW YORK Americans
question the ability of the
United States to create democ-
racy in other countries, and are
divided on whether successful
efforts could even make the
U.S. safer, according to a poll
released Thursday.
Only 36 percent of those
surveyed believe the U.S. can
help spread democracy a
major objective for the Bush

The Iraq war remains the

Center felder Kenny Waddell
and right felder Matt Brown
tracked a fy ball heading toward
right center feld on Wednesday
night.
Looking up into the lights of
Hoglund Ballpark, the pair of
Wichita State Shockers seemed
helpless the ball hit the
ground between them.
For No. 13 Wichita State (21-
7, 1-2), the night didnt pick up
from there. The Jayhawks de-
feated the Shockers, 8-2.
Wichita State coach Gene
Stephenson said his team was
never really in the game after
not being able to pitch.
Before Wednesday night, the
Jayhawks (18-10, 2-4) described
games between Wichita State and
Kansas as a way to determine
which team is the best in the state.
For now, the title belongs to
Kansas.
Were defnitely the best
team in the state, sophomore
outfelder John Allman said.
Anytime we line up against
Wichita State its a good game.
We all get excited to play.
Allman led the Jayhawks with a
3-for-5 night. The sophomore drove
in three of Kansas eight runs.
Kansas coach Ritch Price, a little
more modest, said he was pleased
with his teams dominating perfor-
mance, but was reluctant to give
his team the superior label.
I wouldnt go there, Price said.
If he said that Ill clobber him,
Price said, referring to Allman. Its
a great rivalry, but our guys pitched
better than their guys tonight.

It used to mean something
at the University of Kansas to
make it out of the frst round of
the NCAA tournament.
Not since Dr. Phog Allen led
the crimson and blue charge
56 years ago has Kansas lost
consecutive frst-round tourna-
ment games. If nothing else,
Kansas coach Bill Self is in
exclusive company for the
wrong reason.
Now, I know critics of Roy
Williams are crying about how
Williams had his fair share of
KU tournament failures.
Youre right. But Ill take
Roys four Final Fours and zero
frst-round exits at Kansas over
mid-major meltdowns any day.
Fans and media outlets criti-
cized Williams after bowing out
to UTEP in the second round
in 1992 (between two Final
Fours), or falling to eventual
national champion Arizona in
the Sweet Sixteen in 1997.
Yet Self was given a free
pass for this seasons tourna-
ment exit. One reason was the
teams youth starting three
freshmen and two sophomores.
Other reasons included win-
ning the Big 12 regular season
and tournament champion-
ships.
OK, so the team was young.
The top seven scorers were
freshmen and sophomores.
One problem with the youth
argument Kansas isnt the
only team in America with
young players.
LSU starts three freshmen
and a sophomore. Floridas
starting fve includes four soph-
omores and a junior. And three
of UCLAs leading tournament
scorers were underclassmen.
Young teams can make deep
tournament runs.
Kansas won the Big 12 in
a down year. Only two of the
seven teams that made postsea-
son play (including the NIT)
advanced past the frst round.
Now lets look to next year.
If Rush keeps his word, then
those aforementioned Magnif-
cent Seven will return intact,
along with the addition of
one, possibly two McDonalds
All-Americans, likely landing
Kansas in the preseason top
fve next season.
With that lofty ranking
comes the pressure that comes
with Kansas basketball territory
Final Four or bust.
Also, this is now Selfs
program, so the excuses of a
Williams hangover are gone.
Will another early exit be toler-
ated next season if it were to
happen?
Its now safe to say, for Self, the
three-year grace period is over.
Kansas basketball is supposed to
be about national championships,
not just Big 12 titles. I know
Kansas cant win it all every year,
but we should expect better than
what weve settled with for the
past two years.

The big event in the Kansas Re-
lays, which will take place April 20
to 22, will be the GOLDZONE II,
which will feature Olympic athletes
competing against each other.
Tim Weaver, Relays meet di-
rector, said the response from
last years meet was great, but he
expected more fans to come out
this year because of the quality
of athletes competing. Last year,
more than 24,000 people at-
tended the GOLDZONE event,
which was the second highest
attendance in relays history,
Weaver and Kansas track and
feld coach Stanley Redwine
announced the main events for
the Kansas Relays and unveiled
the GOLDZONE II poster on
Wednesday.
The GOLDZONE II event
will take place from 2 to 5 p.m.
Saturday, April 22, at Memorial
Stadium. Two household names
will compete head to head.
Olympic gold medalist Justin
Gatlin, who won gold in the 100-
meter dash at the 2004 Olympics
in Athens, Greece, will compete
against Maurice Greene in the
4x100-meter dash. Greene won
gold in the 2000 Olympics in
the 100-meter dash in Sydney,
Australia.
Weaver said that Greene, a Kan-
sas City, Kan., native, loved com-
ing to the Kansas Relays to com-
pete in front of a home crowd.
A great track meet draws
a great crowd, and to draw a
great crowd, a meet must assure
people that they will be enter-
tained, Weaver said. Last years
story was the presence of track
and felds household names in
Lawrence. This year is all about
match-ups, Weaver said.
The unveiled poster showed
just that: Gatlin on one side and
Greene on the other.
It looks like a heavyweight
poster, and not by accident,
Weaver said. People love ri-
valries, and although they are
friends off the track, on the
track they are rivals.
The womens main event also
attracted stars.
World champions Allyson
Felix and Muna Lee and silver
medalist Rachelle Smith will
compete in the 100-meter dash.
Each of our featured events
will have at least two champions
competing for the Relays crown
and the attention of our fans,
Weaver said.
Redwine said he expected to
see top performances from his
Kansas squad throughout the
weekend as well.
Sheldon Battle can be on
the feld competing with any-
one during the GOLDZONE II
event if he qualifes, Redwine
said of the senior. Any given
day, anyone can show up.

Senior leadership played an im-
portant role in Delta Chis intramu-
ral championship victory Wednes-
day night against Phi Psi OHB.
Delta Chi won 54-35 in Allen
Fieldhouse.
Lee Iversen, Manhattan se-
nior, and Grant Creighton, En-
gelwood, Colo., senior, seemed
to be on a separate level from
the other players. They ener-
gized Delta Chi with exciting
plays throughout the game.
Creighton received uproars
from the Delta Chi crowd as he
made two steals and drew three
fouls early in the game. Despite
shooting only 2-of-5 from the
free-throw line, Creighton had
six points in the frst fve min-
utes of the game.
I played a year of college bas-
ketball at Denver University so
with more experience, I knew
what to expect, Creighton said.
Gentry Leitner, St. Louis fresh-
man, was the only Phi Psi OHB
player that found his shots falling.
Leitner represented nearly half
of the offense for his team he
scored 17 of his teams 35 points.
The shots we usually hit just
werent falling, and they had
a big height advantage on us,
Leitner said.
At halftime, the game still
seemed to be in reach, with Phi
Psi OHB trailing 22-14.
That was until Iversen had
something to say about it. He hit
5-of-7 three-point shots in the sec-
ond half alone. Iversen ended the
night with a team-high 21 points.
Lee was on fre tonight. We
boxed out well and were able to
run; I think that broke it open
early. Creighton said.
Despite Leitner shooting well
and Travis Meier, Lenexa junior,
doing a solid job of protecting
and distributing the basketball,
Phi Psi OHB never once led and
were unable to make runs that
had would swing momentum.
Delta Chi and its fans cel-
ebrated the championship with
excitement.
It feels great, especially after
falling short two of the last three
years, it was nice to fnally get
one, Iversen said.

Hawks earn highest
ranking of season
The Kansas tennis team
jumped 12 spots to No. 62
this week in the FILA womens
tennis rankings. It is the high-
est ranking of the season for
the Jayhawks. After losing
four matches in a row, Kansas
is on a four-game winning
streak. Its last four victories
were against Southern, LSU,
UMKC and Saint Louis. Three
of those matches were 7-0
shutouts.
Kansas has eight matches
remaining before the April 27
Big 12 Tournament in Waco,
Texas.
Kansas current record is
9-6 and 0-3 in Big 12 Confer-

Oklahoma on Saturday and
Iowa State on Sunday. Both
matches are scheduled to take

The Kansas mens golf team
participated in the 60th Annual
Western Intercollegiate in Santa
Cruz, Calif., but neither pleas-
ant weather nor low scores were
to be found.
The Jayhawks fnished in 15th
place in a feld of 16 teams on
Tuesday. Gusting winds along
with pesky rain and hail fell in
California. Three rounds were
originally scheduled, but Kansas
played only two because of the
poor conditions.
Kansas did not fare well at the
par-70 Pasatiempo Golf Course,
posting scores of 303 and 307.
Kansas did not place an indi-
vidual in the Top 20, and only
one team, Cal State Northridge,
separated Kan-
sas from the bot-
tom of the lead-
erboard.
Senior Pete
Krsnich turned in
the best results of
the week for the
Jayhawks, fnish-
ing in a tie for
29th place, with
an overall score of 149. Krsnich
said he would make no excuses
for the teams poor play, though.
We just didnt play as well as
we should have, Krsnich said.
We just didnt make as good of
shots as we should have.
Kansas coach Ross Randall
did not have a positive analysis
of the situation either.
It wasnt the weather, we just
didnt play well, Randall said.
Junior Tyler Docking scored
152 and fnished tied for 48th
place. Usually at the top of the
leaderboard, junior Gary Wood-
land also had his fair share of
trouble, and fnished tied for
58th with a 153.
When asked about his score
of 159, senior Luke Trammell ex-
pressed his disappointment. He
fnished in a tie for 69th place.
We probably shouldve
played a little better, and the
weather shouldve favored us
a bit more, but we didnt really
handle the weather as well as we
should have, Trammell said.
In an effort to diversify the
lineup, Randall inserted sopho-
more Joey Mundy into the equa-
tion, but Mundy fared no better
than his teammates, shooting a
157 to fnish in a tie for 75th.
Duke managed to hold off the
rough conditions to score 577
and a frst-place fnish. Rob Gr-
ube of Stanford took home the
individual honors after shooting
a two-round 158.
The Jayhawks will try to re-
bound quickly from their recent
struggles, as they travel to Cary,
N.C., next week to compete in
the Courtyard by Marriot Inter-
collegiate.
The team has less than a month
to prepare for the Big 12 Cham-
pionship, allowing the Jayhawks
only a few weeks to smooth out
the kinks in their swings.
However, the players seem
confdent about their chances
as the stakes are raised. Im re-
ally confdent that well have a
good squad going into the Big
12, which is the ultimate key,
Krsnich said.

Coach joins Indiana,
escapes salary freeze
INDIANAPOLIS Indiana
will hire Kelvin Sampson as
its next basketball coach,
delivering him from an Okla-
homa team under investiga-
tion for possible recruiting
violations.
Details were being worked
out, and the deal was expect-
ed to be announced shortly,
said a person close to the talks
who requested anonymity
because negotiations were
ongoing.
The NCAA is looking into
more than 550 impermissible
phone calls to recruits by
Sampson and his assistant
coaches.
As part of their self-im-
posed sanctions, the Sooners
froze Sampsons salary for a
two-year period beginning in
2005 and restricted him from
receiving any postseason
bonuses.

SURPRISE, Ariz. Kansas
City Royals manager Buddy Bell
knows a bit about defense.
A six-time Gold Glove win-
ner during his playing days,
Bell cringed when watching
last years Royals amass a major
league-leading 125 errors.
I never thought any other
way, Bell said. If you cant
catch the ball, youre not going
to win. It is not just the error. It
is the plays you dont get to.
Bell expects a revamped in-
feld to cover a lot more ground
this year.
The Royals were active in the
offseason, acquiring frst base-
man Doug Mientkiewicz, a Gold
Glove winner in 2001 with the
Minnesota Twins, and second
baseman Mark Grudzielanek,
who had a .990 felding percent-
age last year to lead all National
League second baseman.
The Royals also claimed util-
ity infelder Tony Graffanino off
waivers from the Boston Red
Sox Tuesday, adding depth to
the middle infeld.
Bell said he expects the ac-
quisition of veteran Reggie
Sanders, who had a .983 feld-
ing percentage in 81 games with
the Cardinals, to cover more
ground in right feld while help-
ing emerging star David DeJesus
in center.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH
Revise your thinking, and you will feel great.
Use your ability to make a difference and
add to your coffers. Money matters come to
the forefront in the afternoon.
Tonight: Cut any wild risks.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HH
You have a lot on your plate and feel
somewhat tired and dragged down. Think
positively before you take a risk. You might
want to rethink a situation before you feel
pressured to make a decision. You know
what to do.
Tonight: Slow and steady works.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH
Realize that just because you can do
something doesnt mean you should do it.
Use your discerning sixth sense, and you
will gain. Sometimes you might not see a
situation as clearly as you would like. Think
positively.
Tonight: Take some extra time for yourself.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH
Verify news, and you will like what comes
up. Not everyone has a strong sense of what
works, but right now you are more on target
than many. Still, you might need to say no
to extravagance. Smart Moon Child!
Tonight: Happy with friends.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH
You might be far more negative than you
realize. Events around you help you gain
a new perspective. Consider your options
with care. Seek advice and different
opinions. You will see life from a new
perspective.
Tonight: You gotta do what you gotta do.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH
You might want to raise the roof and
try something different. Not everyone
understands what you need to do in order
to make life work. You will see life from
a renewed perspective. Think positively.
Tonight: Easy does it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH
Sometimes you can get caught up in others
wishes. Libra is a very giving sign that cares
a lot about others. Still, for your own sake,
you will have to say no sooner or later.
Knowing that you cannot be everyones
benefactor is important.
Tonight: Quality time with a special friend.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH
Get as much done as possible before the
afternoon. Others will need you and could
be quite demanding. Easily, you could be
pushed or feel cornered. Say no if you
must. Your ability to read between the lines
proves helpful.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH
You solve problems and will do just that until
you fnd you have let an important element
of your personal life slide. You could be
hard-pressed to cover all your bases, but
you will -- as always. You are a very special
person.
Tonight: Happiness follows you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH
Everyone has limits -- you included. Think
positively, and you will make a difference.
Do nothing halfway. You might want to
rethink a situation more carefully. You might
want to rethink a personal matter more
carefully too.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH
You are happy and positive. You see life
from a much different perspective than
many. By late afternoon, your good humor
could dissipate. You easily could head
out on retreat. Think twice before you say
anything. Tonight: Happy as can be.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HH
Though you might be positive about a ven-
ture this morning, you easily could change
your tune by the evening. Fatigue and stress
will play heavily into your mood in the p.m.
Know when to walk away or give yourself
a break.
Tonight: Relax with a friend.

KANSAN SPORTSWRITER
Facing No. 13 Wichita State
between crucial Big 12 oppo-
nents No. 3 Nebraska and No.
29 Missouri, Kansas coach Ritch
Price was left with a tough deci-
sion as to which pitcher to start
on Wednesday night.
Kansas weekend aces were off
limits because of the magnitude of
the Missouri series this weekend.
We have to win the series
against Missouri to get back in
the Big 12 race, Price said on
Tuesday.
Yet, aside from being a rivalry
game, Price said Wednesdays
match-up against a ranked non-
conference opponent would have
major postseason implications.
So, in need of a pitcher who
could pitch a few innings against
the Shockers and not cripple the
weekend rotation, Price chose his
sixth different starter of the season
junior Brendan McNamara.
The decision didnt work out
as well as Price had hoped. Mc-
Namara gave up two runs, one
earned, in three innings on four
hits and two walks. He struck
out one Wichita State player.
I was pleased that he got into
trouble and he got out of trouble
and he gave us three innings,
Price said.
McNamara had been consis-
tent most of the season, allow-
ing no runs in four of his six
appearances before Wednesday.
But after pitching two score-
less innings in relief on Sunday
against Nebraska, Price said
McNamara would be on a re-
duced pitch count.
I was getting hot pretty much
every game, so I was a little ten-
der, McNamara said, about his
throwing arm on Wednesday
night after pitching on Sunday.
With the game tied 2-2 af-
ter three innings, Price looked
to freshman left-hander Andy
Marks (2-1).
Wichita States offense came
to a screeching halt after Marks
took the mound. In three in-
nings of work, Marks kept the
Shockers off the board and sur-
rendered only two hits, walked
three and struck out four.
Andy grew up a lot tonight,
sophomore outelder John All-
man said. That was the rst
time I saw him on the mound
with some presence.
While Marks shut down Wichi-
ta State batters, the Kansas offense
did its part to earn Marks his sec-
ond victory of the year, erupting
for the nal six of its eight runs.
I think they all like to see
it, Marks said, about whether
the rest of the Kansas pitching
staff was jealous of the run sup-
port he received. I was kind of
happy to see eight runs on the
board tonight no matter who
was pitching.
After the game, Price said
he was most impressed with
how three freshman pitchers
Marks, Nick Czyz and Paul
Smyth dominated Shocker
hitters and kept senior closer
Don Czyz in the bullpen so he
could be fresh for the weekend.
I think were in really good
shape, Price said.
SPORTS 4B THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THURSDAY, MARCH 30, 2006
BY ERIC JORGENSEN
ejorgensen@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Despite Kansas legislators at-
tempts to have the University of
Kansas play Wichita State each
year in every sport, no arrange-
ment was reached. The two
teams regularly face off in base-
ball, though.
Baseball is the one time dur-
ing the school year where high-
stake sports match-ups occur
between these two teams. It is
also the only time fans from the
schools partake in rivalry and
bragging rights for the year.
Many Kansas and Wichita
State fans alike think the inter-
state rivalry is weak, but is grow-
ing.
Its light-hearted, Eric Nev-
els, Topeka freshman said. I
think it would be awesome if
it was more intense when they
played baseball.
Lance Fleming graduated
from Wichita State. He said he
thought Kansas put more money
into its team than Wichita State,
but the rivalry was growing in
the last two to three years.
Fleming said he thought the
state of Kansas was represented
by three schools in three sports:
Wichita State for baseball, Kan-
sas for basketball and Kansas
State for football.
The improvement by the Jay-
hawks against the Shockers has
many Kansas students pleased
and wanting to watch games at
Hoglund Ballpark, said Brent
Gorski, Idaho Falls, Idaho,
freshman.
I know theyre ranked high-
er, and Id like to beat them,
Gorski said of No. 13 Wichita
State.
Other fans said if the teams
squared off in basketball, it
would consequently make the
Kansas-Wichita State baseball
rivalry more intense.
Kyle Smith, Topeka freshman,
said the more the teams played,
the more bitter the rivalry would
be. Smith went as far to say if
the teams played in basketball,
it could make Wichita State the
biggest in-state rival.
I think it could be a better ri-
valry than K-State, Smith said.
Fleming said he agreed with
Smith.
It would increase the rivalry
if we started playing basketball,
Fleming said. A lot of Wichita
State fans want to play them in
basketball.
Kansas will face Wichita State
again on April 5 in Wichita.
BASEBALL
Fans want to Shock every sport
BASEBALL
Rough start ends well
for Kansas at Hoglund
Randall Sanders/KANSAN
Junior pitcher Brendan McNamara delivers against Wichita State in the rst inning at Hoglund
Ballpark Wednesday night. McNamara earned a no-decision in the 8-2 victory, pitching three in-
nings and allowing one earned run on four hits, walking two batters and striking out one.
Confidence
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
At the top of the rst, junior
right-hander Brendan McNama-
ra experienced early trouble in his
rst Division-I start. He walked
Wichita States Waddell to lead
off the game, and later overthrew
rst base allowing him to score.
Although McNamara got out
of the rst with only minor casu-
alties, he allowed six base runners
after facing just 14 batters. He was
out by the fourth inning, allowing
a pair of runs off four hits.
Four Jayhawk pitchers followed
McNamara, three of whom were
freshmen. Freshman lefty Andy
Marks (2-1) took the next three-in-
ning shift, kept the Shockers off the
board and picked up the victory.
I think the fact that we beat
a Top 20 team with three fresh-
men on the mound says a lot
about our program, Price said.
Kansas collected 15 hits, four
of which were off starter Max
Hutson.
The KU offense didnt skip a
beat after junior Jared Simon (0-1)
took over in the fourth inning. The
right-hander was dealt the loss.
Throwing to his rst batter of
the evening, freshman rst base-
man Preston Land welcomed
Simon by nailing a line drive
into the left-eld wall. Freshman
catcher Buck Afenir brought
Land around for the RBI.
I thought it had a pretty good
chance, Land said of the long
y ball hit into the wind coming
in from left. I thought it was,
maybe, any other night it prob-
ably wouldve been out.
In the fth and sixth, Kansas
sent 13 batters to the plate, came
up with eight hits and ve runs.
Wichita State used four pitch-
ers, none of which were overly
effective. Freshman right-hander
Matt Smith was the only Shock-
er hurler to not surrender a run,
although he was tagged for three
hits and a walk.
On Tuesday night, the Shock-
ers lost an 11-inning battle to
No. 10 Arkansas. Hutson was
slated to start before Tuesday
nights match-up, and the Jay-
hawks didnt see that as a major
factor in Wednesdays victory.
It just all depends, Land
said. It might have had an ef-
fect on some guys and it might
not have had an effect on oth-
er guys. Youve got to give our
pitchers credit, though, they
pitched really well tonight.
With Missouri coming to town
on Friday, Price made it clear
how important that series is to his
team and its chances of gaining
ground in the Big 12 Conference.
The record crowd at Hoglund
Ballpark may be the re Kansas
needs to take the next two series
from Missouri and Texas Tech.
I think our players fed off
that energy, Price said. It was
exciting to be at Hoglund Ball-
park tonight.
Game Notes:
Senior outelder Matt Baty
was in full uniform in the Kan-
sas bullpen on Wednesday night.
The co-captain was cleared to
play on Tuesday.
The in-state rivalry drew the
largest crowd the Hog has ever
seen. The attendance peaked at
2,324 fans.

Kansan staff writer
Crystal Kemp will be feeling
the pressure at the Womens Fi-
nal Four in Boston this week-
end.
The former forward wont
be playing, but rather working
out alongside 40 other players
at the WNBA pre-draft camp.
The camp is an opportunity for
scouts to take a look at Kemp
before this years WNBA draft.
Kemp and the other prospects
will work out for the scouts on
Monday. Tuesday night is the
womens national champion-
ship game, and Wednesday will
be the WNBA draft, with all
events held in Boston.
Because the WNBA season
begins in May, players who are
drafted dont have an offseason;
they just jump right in with their
new teams.
There are 14 teams in the
WNBA, and three rounds in the
draft, meaning a total of 42 play-
ers will be selected. The closest
WNBA team to Kansas is the
Minnesota Lynx.
Kemp said before the sea-
son ended that she would like
to continue playing basketball
professionally, but for now she
will just sit back and see what
opportunities are made avail-
able to her.
I havent really looked into it
too much, she said, adding that
WNBA teams were not allowed
to contact her during the season.
She capped off the best season
of her career by being named to
the All-Big 12 frst team, voted
on by the leagues coaches.
While in Boston, Kemp will
also be participating in So you
want to be a coach? a program
put on by the Womens Basket-
ball Coaches Association.
The program invited 50 senior
basketball players to a work-
shop that will take place during
the weekend, with the goal of
preparing minority athletes to
be coaches after graduation.
During high school, Kemp
worked with kids at a commu-
nity center in Topeka, and said
that after she was fnished play-
ing, she would like to become a
coach.
Kansas coach Bonnie Hen-
rickson is also in Boston for the
Final Four weekend events, and
will get a chance to watch Kemp
work out for the WNBA scouts
on Monday afternoon.
Basketball Notebook:
Meanwhile, the rest of the
womens basketball team is be-
ginning offseason practices in
Lawrence. NCAA rules state
that the players can practice for
only eight hours per week. Hen-
rickson is dividing the time so
the players spend fve hours in
strength and conditioning and
three hours on the court.
Right now we are individu-
alizing the strength and condi-
tioning, Henrickson said. We
are making it specifc to what
each player needs to work on.
Nine players will return from
this years team; they will be
joined by a freshman class of
seven. Those players will begin
arriving in June and July during
the summer school period.
