A group of KU students and Law-
rence residents spent Friday discuss-
ing and protesting violence against
women. A crowd gathered at Bu-
ford M. Watson Train Park, between
Sixth and Eighth streets and Ken-
tucky Street, for Womyn Take Back
the Night, an event sponsored by
Womens Transitional Care Services
and the GaDuGi SafeCenter.
Jes Cook, Topeka senior, has been
involved with the event since her
freshman year. Cook said the event
was a way for people to get together
to create a forum for both men and
women to speak about violence
against women.
Our main focus is to break the
silence, Cook said.
One way participants spoke out
was in the form of creating T-shirts
for the event. Hundreds of home-
made T-shirts flled with symbolic
and inspirational messages were
hung from a clothesline.
Some T-shirts were made by survi-
vors of domestic abuse while others
were in memory of deceased friends
and family.
The shirts make a visual state-
ment that Lawrence as a community
does not support violence against
anybody, particularly women, Cook
said.
The Lawrence New World Order
Peace Choir opened the event with a
set of inspirational music. The event
also included poetry, an open-mic
session and a candlelight vigil.
The crowd enthusiastically re-
sponded to the fery and emotional
poetry from domestic violence sur-
vivors. One woman was moved to
tears when she recalled her past with
an abusive boyfriend.
The event ended with a march
down Massachusetts Street on the
way to South Park with men and
women participants chanting, We
are women, we are men, together we
fght to take back the night.

While others may have been bar hopping on
Friday night, some KU students and Lawrence
residents walked on the track inside Memorial
Stadium from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. to raise money
for cancer research
during the Relay for
Life event.
Relay For Life is
an American Can-
cer Society fund-
raiser that raises
awareness and
money for cancer
research.
Stacie Schroed-
er, who helped co-
ordinate the event
for the American
Cancer Society,
said the ultimate
goal for the night
was to raise money for four general areas of
cancer research: advocacy, research, education
and patient services.
Schroeder said the 12-hour event was a meta-
phor for fghting against cancer. People would
experience dark moments in their fght, but they
also would see the light if they continued to fght.

Kindra Hankes heart rate shot
up as the doors opened to the el-
evator in Fraser Hall. She rushed
in and anxiously jabbed the but-
ton for the 8th foor. A spurt of ex-
citement pulsed through her veins
as she thought to herself, What a
rush it will be to soar off the build-
ing and glide through the air!
When she reached the door
to the roof, it was locked, and
her excitement turned to deep
disappointment. By that time,
her roommate had raced up
and found her, dampening any
chances for a fight that day.
Hankes failed attempt at a
fatal fight is congruent with
bipolar disorder, a psychiatric
disorder of which an estimated
300 KU students suffer. Once
known as manic-depressive,
bipolar disorder is most com-
monly diagnosed in college-
aged people. Those who have it
experience drastic mood swings
that can make them think they
can fy sky-high and then sink
them into dark depressions,
putting them at a higher risk
of committing suicide than
any other psychiatric disorder.
Those who have it often strug-
gle to maintain relationships,
perform well at work and in
school and they often use ef-
fective mood-stabilizing drugs
to control their roller coaster of
emotions.
Human Impact
Hankes best friends these
days are her two roommates
at home in Overland Park: her
mother and her French bulldog,
Monty. She understands why
her friends have tapered off.
Dealing with someone thats
not the same everyday is probably
diffcult, she said, pointing out
that her irritability makes most of
her relationships fall apart.
Linda Keeler, psychiatrist at
Watkins Student Health Center,
said that the frenetic level of ac-
tivity, intrusive-
ness and disrup-
tiveness in those
with the disorder
had a negative
effect on family
and friends who
were exposed
to it, especially
roommates.
Untreated, it can be a devas-
tating illness, she said.
Keeler said the switches in
mood states could lead to poor
judgment and increased promis-
cuous behaviors and could be
detrimental to a persons life.
Hanke, 22, enrolled in 12
credit hours this semester, but
that number quickly dropped to
six. She has tried a Western Civ-
ilization course three times, but
ended up dropping it each time,
as she does with other classes.
She blamed the disorder and
her medications for her trouble
reading, retaining information
and staying enrolled in classes.
Leslie Niswonger, Leoti grad-
uate student, said the disorder
had caused her trouble with set-
ting long-term goals and follow-
ing through with them.
The tiny decisions are ago-
nizing, she said.
Niswonger recalled going
through the grocery store line
during one manic episode, when
she knew she couldnt afford to
buy something for $80, but she
contemplated the decision over
and over until she ultimately
bought it.
Ni s wong er
has a husband
and a son who
suffer with her
through the dis-
order. She said
when her son
was a baby, she
sometimes for-
got to feed him.
She said she was lucky her hus-
band could pick up the pieces
when things got crazy or when
she withdrew from family and
friends.
John Niswonger, her hus-
band of 11 years, said he had
learned to carry all the weight
and not depend on his wife
when she was in her manic
and depressive states. He has
even made a list of the spe-
cific characteristics that she
has when swinging into either
mood and posted it on their
file cabinet.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
STILLWATER, Okla. Presi-
dent Bush advised college gradu-
ates on Saturday to use technology
but not become enslaved by it.
Science offers the prospect
of eventual cures for terrible dis-
eases and temptations to ma-
nipulate life and violate human
dignity, Bush said during com-
mencement exercises at Okla-
homa State University. With
the Internet, you can commu-
nicate instantly with someone
halfway across the world and
isolate yourself from your family
and your neighbors.
The nations young genera-
tion will wrestle to resolve these
dilemmas, he said.
My advice: Harness the
promise of technology without
becoming slaves to technology.
My advice is that science serves
the cause of humanity and not
the other way around, the pres-
ident said.
After the speech, some gradu-
ates said they couldnt make out
clearly what Bush said because
of an echo in the audio system
at Boone Pickens Stadium.
I couldnt really hear it be-
cause the sound was so bad,
said Michelle Ward, who earned
a degree in biomedical sciences.
Bush highlighted recent
economic gains and told the
graduates that an improving job
market is giving them more job
opportunities.
The job market for college
graduates is the best it has been
in years, he said. This econo-
my of ours is strong and so youll
have more jobs to choose from
than previous classes and your
starting salaries will be higher.
And the opportunities beyond
are only limited by the size of
your dreams.
Some look at the changes
taking place all around us, and
they worry about our future.
Their reaction is to wall Amer-
ica off from the world, and to
retreat into protectionism, he
said.

Violence continues;
more than 40 killed
BAGHDAD, Iraq Car
bombs killed at least 16 people
and injured dozens Sunday in
Baghdad and a Shiite holy city,
casting doubt on U.S. hopes that
formation of a new government
alone would provide a quick end
to the countrys violence.
At least 26 others were killed
or found dead Sunday, including
a U.S. Marine mortally wounded
in the insurgent bastion of Anbar
province in western Iraq, police
and the U.S. military said.
Some of the victims ap-
peared to have been abducted
and killed by sectarian death
squads that target members
of rival religious communi-
ties. The dead included three
brothers whose charred bodies
were found before dawn in
Baghdads Dora district, a
mixed Sunni-Shiite area and
one of the citys most violent.
The deadliest single attack
occurred at midmorning when
a suicide driver detonated
his vehicle near an Iraqi army
patrol leaving its base in the
Sunni Arab neighborhood of
Azamiyah, killing 10 people
and injuring 15, most of them
Iraqi soldiers, police Lt. Col.
Falah al-Mohammedawi said.
A half-hour earlier, a car
bomb exploded near the Bagh-
dad offces of the state-run
al-Sabah newspaper, killing an
employee, police Lt. Ahmed
Mohammed Ali said. Offcials
believed the target was a
police patrol that passed by
shortly before the blast.

Leslie Niswonger, Leoti graduate student, shows off her drama tattoo for the camera. Niswonger has several tattoos and said that she recieved at least
one tattoo impulsively during a manic episode.

I look at it to see if shes
meeting too many characteris-
tics, he said. I guess you could
say its my guideline to whats
normal.
Suicide Risk
Withdrawal from activities,
family and friends can acceler-
ate suicidal thoughts.
Bipolar disorder patients have
a 20 to 25 percent increased risk
of committing suicide, said Wil-
liam McKnelly, Jr., professor
and psychiatrist at the Univer-
sity of Kansas Medical Center,
who has specialized in treating
the disorder for more than 50
years.
David Holmes, professor of
psychology, said the rate for sui-
cide among bipolar patients was
higher than any other psychiat-
ric disorder.
He said suicidal thoughts and
attempts occurred most during
rapid cycling when an individ-
ual was switching from manic
and depressive episodes. Dur-
ing manic episodes, individuals
might be more likely to commit
suicide because they are impul-
sive, he said.
Hanke has attempted suicide
twice before while struggling
with her disorder. At 16, she held
a gun to her head and pulled
the trigger, but failed because
she forgot to chamber another
round. During a second attempt
at 20, she swallowed two bottles
of Tylenol caplets. Her room-
mate found her and brought her
to the hospital where was treat-
ed with a formulation called
Mucomyst, an antidote for Ac-
etaminophen poisoning, which
she said tasted and smelled like
rotten eggs.
Symptoms
Two alternating, broad states
are associated with bipolar dis-
order: wild mania and deep de-
pression. They are referred to as
highs and lows, and they must
have underlying, more specifc
symptoms to be diagnosed.
Mania, according to the Diag-
nostic and Statistical Manual of
Mental Disorders-Fourth Edi-
tion, is classifed as having a eu-
phoric mood, along with three
or more other major manic
symptoms for one week. Major
manic symptoms can include: ir-
ritability, less need for sleep, in-
fated self-esteem or grandiosity,
delusions and impulsiveness.
Niswonger recalled one man-
ic situation when she decided
she had to do something drastic
about her messy home. Instead
of doing the laundry or picking
up around the house, she ir-
rationally decided the kitchen
cabinets needed a full make-
over. She got out a drill and
took off all the cabinet doors,
only to become bored with
the project after an hour. She
said her kitchen cabinets were
doorless for more than a year,
until family helped fnish the
project.
Hanke said that during her
highs, she slept two to three
hours a night, compared to
the 16 she sleeps during her
depressive state. She said she
engaged in risky behaviors,
like speeding through red stop
lights.
Niswonger suffers from a
milder form of mania called
hypomania, in which she has
the same manic symptoms,
but they are less severe. Her
symptoms last at least four
consecutive days, and indi-
viduals with alternating epi-
sodes of hypomania and se-
vere depression are diagnosed
with Bipolar II Disorder.
Individuals with bipolar
can be deeply depressed for
two weeks or more. They suf-
fer from a decreased interest
in pleasure, fatigue, feelings
of guilt and worthlessness and
diminished a ability to concen-
trate.
While Niswonger suffers
from rapid cycles of depression
and mania that could last for an
hour and switch, Hankes cycles
are much longer. She said she
tended to be depressed most of
the time, but she had experi-
enced three to fve manic high
cycles.
Niswonger has what her
physicians call rapid cycles;
cycling that occurs at least
four times each one year.
Psychotic symptoms, like
those found in individuals
with schizophrenia, are also
common in those with bipo-
lar disorder. Hankes belief
that she could fly was part of
a delusion, or irrational belief,
that accompanied her thought
disruptions.
Hanke said she once be-
lieved that energy beams in
the air were amplified by cell
phones, so she went through
a period of time when she
wouldnt talk to people with
cell phones.
A hallucination, or the
sense of seeing or hearing
something that doesnt exist,
is another psychotic symptom
associated with the disorder.
Niswonger said she had pe-
riodically heard voices since
she was 11 years old.
Diagnosis
McKnelly said the problem
with diagnosing any form of
the disorder was the fact that
the depression, not mania
or highs, was often the only
symptom complained about.
Often the person is diagnosed
frst as having depression un-
less a physician sees a patient
with different mood alterations
including manic symptoms.
No one goes to the den-
tist because their teeth feel too
good, he explained.

Bipolar
Hanke said she planned to
stay an extra year at the Uni-
versity to be involved with a
research project with Holmes,
who will focus on the diag-
nosing criteria, specifcally the
extent to which relatively few
symptoms might disrupt a life-
style, as opposed to the amount
of symptoms present.
Not only is bipolar diffcult
to diagnose based on symp-
toms, but it also is often dif-
fcult to identify where symp-
toms are coming from, Keeler
said. Patients might have other
disorders, such as substance
abuse, combined with bipolar.
She said it was hard to deter-
mine if one caused the other or
if yet a third variable was in-
volved.
Physicians are often at fault
and misdiagnose the disorder
because they do not ask the pa-
tient the right questions, Hol-
mes said.
Hanke said more were diag-
nosed as having bipolar than
should be. Holmes said that
he, too, worried that physicians
were over-diagnosing, but it
might be that the prevalence of
the disorder was just surfacing.
Background
Bipolar disorder affects a
little more than 1 percent of the
U.S. adult population about
2 million Americans. National
Mental Health Association sta-
tistics show that 80 to 90 per-
cent of people with the disorder
have a relative with some form
of depression.
Those suffering from bipolar
disorder tend to have a genetic
predisposition or a chemical
imbalance, and stress and bio-
logical trauma can affect the
tendency to develop the disor-
der as well, Holmes said.
The chemical imbalance is
diffcult to treat because of un-
stable neurotransmitters in the
brain, he said. At times of ma-
nia, levels of neurotransmitter
levels are high, whereas they
are low during periods of de-
pression.
Holmes said that inheritance
of bipolar disorder was the
highest among all psychiatric
disorders, with 80 percent of
those diagnosed having some
family history.
Prenatal stressors, such as
the mothers diet, illnesses and
substance abuse, in a fetus have
shown to be correlated with the
disorder, as well as birth com-
plications, he said.
Hanke said stress factors,
along with a genetic connection
to the disorder, triggered her
onset of depression in middle
school. She moved from Mis-
souri to Kansas in 6th grade,
and her parents got divorced
shortly after that. When she was
16, the birth of her sister caused
an already growing depression
to worsen.
Treatment
Psychiatrists prescribe a vari-
ety of medications to treat the
illness individually, including
mood stabilizers, anti-convul-
sant drugs, antidepressants,
anti-psychotic drugs and seda-
tives. Other traditional thera-
pies can be used in combina-
tion with medication.
McKnelly said the most ef-
fective treatment option, with-
out question, was the stabilizer
lithium because it reduced the
suicide rate more then fve-
fold. He was one of the frst
in the region to use the drug
when it became available after
its surprising effects in calm-
ing pigs in France in a 1940s
study.
According to the NMHA,
lithium is effective for treating
mania in 60 percent of individ-
uals with bipolar disorder.
Like mood stabilizers, anti-
convulsant drugs approved by
the Food and Drug Administra-
tion reduce mania, but are not
used as much as mood stabiliz-
ers. According to the National
Institute of Mental Health, they
are used on patients with more
diffcult-to-treat episodes and
are used in combination with
lithium for maximum effect.
Antidepressants are used for
those with depression, but phy-
sicians are reluctant to use them
for individuals with bipolar dis-
order because they dont want
to trigger a manic episode.
Neuroleptic drugs, also
known as anti-psychotics, can
be used to help a patient who
has hallucinations and delu-
sions. John Niswonger said his
wife took the anti-psychotic
Seroquel and that it had done
miracles by ending her night
hallucinations and allowing her
to think more clearly.
I had forgotten what it was
like to get a full nights sleep,
he said.
Individuals taking any of
these medications often have to
deal with side effects.
Hanke, who is prescribed
lithium, said her most notice-
able change, besides controlling
her mania, was weight gain. The
lithium also causes her to have
hand tremors.
Holmes said there were other
approaches to treatment than
medication. One proven to be
effective was psychoeducation
and cognitive behavior therapy.
With these approaches, a pa-
tient and his or her family learns
about the disorder and specifc
symptoms to his or her case.
This allows an individual to re-
ceive social support and adjust
everyday activities to cope.
Electroconvulsive therapy,
most commonly known as
electric shock therapy, is a
short-term treatment option
that Hanke is thinking about
trying. She rates the way she
feels everyday a fve on a scale
of ten.

Characteristics
Many famous people
have been diagnosed with
bipolar disorder and others
are thought to have been
affected by it. The relation
between individuals with
creative minds and the dis-

SALT LAKE CITY Polyga-
mist church leader Warren Jeffs
has been placed on the FBIs
Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list
in hopes that the additional ex-
posure and reward money will
lead to his arrest.
Jeffs, 50, is accused of arrang-
ing marriages between under-
age girls and older men. He is
wanted in Arizona on criminal
charges of sexual conduct with
a minor. He also was charged
in Utah with rape as an accom-
plice.
We are doing everything
we can to track him down,
Fuhrman, special agent in charge
of the FBIs Salt Lake City eld
ofce, said Saturday.
Jeffs is the leader of the polyg-
amous Fundamentalist Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints, based in the neighboring
communities of Hildale, Utah,
and Colorado City, Ariz.
The sect split from main-
stream Mormonism after the
broader church renounced po-
lygamy in 1890. The mainstream
LDS church excommunicates
members found to be practicing
polygamy.
Jeffs has not been seen by
anyone outside of the FLDS
community for nearly two years.
He also faces a charge of unlaw-
ful ight to avoid prosecution.
By putting him on the Top 10
list, the FBIs reward increases
from $50,000 to $100,000. The
list is also distributed world-
wide.
We think that the inclusion
of a $100,000 reward is going to
mean that people are going to
be much more aware of Warren
Jeffs, theyre going to be much
more aware of what he looks
like, and theyre going to be
much more willing to come for-
ward to assist us in our efforts to
locate him, U.S. Attorney Paul
Charlton said at a news confer-
ence in Phoenix.

BOSTON Lillian Gertrud
Asplund, the last American sur-
vivor of the sinking of the Titan-
ic in 1912, has died, a funeral
home said Sunday. She was 99.
Asplund, who was just 5 years
old, lost her father and three
brothers including a fraternal
twin when the practically un-
sinkable ship went down in the
North Atlantic after hitting an ice-
berg.
She died Saturday at her
home in Shrewsbury, said Ron-
ald E. Johnson, vice president of
the Nordgren Memorial Chapel
in Worcester, Mass.
She went to sleep peaceful-
ly, he said.
Asplunds mother, Selma, and
another brother, Felix, who was
3, also survived the Titanic sink-
ing in the early morning of April
15, 1912.
Asplund was the last Titanic sur-
vivor with actual memories of the
sinking, but she shunned publicity
and rarely spoke about the events.
At least two other survivors are
living, but they were too young
to have memories of the disaster.
Barbara Joyce West Dainton of
Truro, England, was 10 months
old and Elizabeth Gladys Mill-
vina Dean of Southampton,
England, was 2 months old.
The Asplund family had
boarded the ship in Southamp-
ton, England, as third-class pas-
sengers on their way back to
Worcester from their ancestral
homeland, Sweden, where they
had spent several years.
Aspluns mother described the
sinking in an interview with the
Worcester Telegram & Gazette
newspaper shortly after she and
her two children arrived in the city.
Selma Asplund said the family
went to the Titanics upper deck
after the ship struck the iceberg.
I could see the icebergs for a
great distance around ... It was
cold and the little ones were cud-
dling close to one another and
trying to keep from under the feet
of the many excited people ... My
little girl, Lillie, accompanied me,
and my husband said Go ahead,
we will get into one of the other
boats. He smiled as he said it.
Because they lost all of their
possessions and money, the city
of Worcester held a fundraiser
and a benet concert that to-
gether brought in about $2,000
for the surviving Asplunds.
Lillian Asplund never married
and worked at secretarial jobs in
the Worcester area most of her life.
She retired early to care for her
mother, who was described as hav-
ing never gotten over the tragedy.
Selma Asplund died on the
52nd anniversary of the sinking
in 1964 at age 91. Felix Asplund
died on March 1, 1983, at age 73.

Participants in the Relay For Life fundraiser wears Groucho Marx glasses gather outside the Martinsburg Mall
Sunday in Martinsburg, W.Va., in an attempt to break the current world record of 1,437 people at one time wearing
the famed glasses. The group fell short of the record, but will try again later this summer.
Bipolar
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4A
Unfortunately, the mood
stabilizer and the two anti-psy-
chotics shes taking arent bring-
ing her out of her depressive
episodes, she said. Electrocon-
vulsive therapy is very effective
for reducing both symptoms of
bipolar, especially for a patient
who isnt improved by medica-
tion, Holmes said.
The Depression and Bipolar
Support Alliance, like other
support groups, focuses on
helping patients and families
learn about and cope with the
illness together. It has more
than 1,000 support groups na-
tionwide.
Charlie Ross, facilitator for
the Douglas County chapter,
said the support group in Law-
rence met twice every month to
be educated and engage in ca-
maraderie.
By large, I dont think KU
students know about it, he
said.
Keeler stressed the impor-
tance of encouragement and
support by those around an in-
dividual with bipolar disorder.
She said having a regulated and
supportive environment free
of drugs and alcohol and with
stress management skills could
make a big difference.
Coping
Holmes said it was important
to note that bipolar disorder
is most commonly diagnosed
in the same age range as most
college students. It isnt clear
why the onset of symptoms
hits individuals in late adoles-
cence and early to mid-twen-
ties, he said. Men and women
have the same risk to develop
the disorder.
Hanke ghts every day for
a smooth ride into normalcy.
She continues her daily rou-
tine with the hope that she will
nd medication to inuence
her moods. Unlike medication
users who dont suffer from bi-
polar disorder, she isnt look-
ing for a high just a calm
middle.

HEBRON, West Bank
Baton-wielding Israeli police
cajoled and dragged dozens
of Jewish squatters out of
a three-story, Palestinian-
owned home Sunday, demon-
strating the new governments
resolve to confront extremist
settlers.
Nineteen offcers and seven
settlers were reported injured
during a clash outside as pro-
testers tried to keep police from
entering the building in a scene
reminiscent of violence during
last summers forced evacuation
of all the Jewish settlements in
the Gaza Strip.
In another sign of his tough
approach, Prime Minister Ehud
Olmert told his Cabinets frst
session that he also will crack
down on wildcat settler out-
posts in the West Bank that have
drawn international criticism.
Olmert wants to withdraw
from most of the West Bank and
draw Israels borders by 2010, a
program that infuriates settlers,
many of whom view the whole
territory as a Jewish biblical
birthright.
The plan also has angered
Palestinian leaders because Ol-
mert said he will proceed even
without a peace deal, pursuing
a course similar to the unilateral
Gaza withdrawal initiated by
then Prime Minister Ariel Sha-
ron.
Hours before the Hebron
eviction began, police and set-
tlers clashed when offcers
cleared away a crowd of protest-
ers outside the home. The squat-
ters threw balloons and light
bulbs flled with paint from the
roof. Police said settlers inside
also threw stones, bottles and
frebombs.
Offcers stormed inside after
sawing through a barricaded
metal door. Some in the crowd
outside tried to force their way
in, too, but offcers pulled the
struggling protesters away,
sometimes slapping them to
calm their thrashing.
Police appealed to the
squatters some with tod-
dlers and babies to leave
peacefully, and some agreed.
But others had to be hauled
out, including one woman
whose infant bawled as offi-
cers carried them out.
The operation took about two
hours, and three families and
27 young sympathizers were
removed, police spokesman
Mickey Rosenfeld said. He said
17 settlers were arrested.
Discarded water bottles, ice
cream wrappers and half-eaten
sandwiches overfowed from
cardboard boxes in the damp,
stone alley in front of the emp-
tied building, which is not far
from the Tomb of the Patriarchs
a shrine holy to Jews and
Muslims.
Authorities said about 700
police, supported by 1,000 sol-
diers, took part in the operation
to enforce a court order that the
squatters be removed.
Palestinians claiming to
own the building went to
court seeking their eviction,
but Israels Supreme Court
ruled that key documents
were forged.

tens of thousands of settlers.

Rather than reach for the tele-
vision remote control when she
wants to be entertained, Kara-
lyn Valente goes online to play
EverQuest, Ultima Online
and other video games a gam-
ing habit shared by millions in
the United States.
Valente, a 29-year-old graphic
artist from York, Pa., said she
devotes about 30 hours a week
in vast online worlds and spent
more than $1,500 on games last
year.
I watch less and less TV. I
turn it on and the shows are just
idiotic, Valente said. When I
play the games, I actually look
through the characters eyes. I
actually become the character.
According to a new AP-
AOL Games poll, 40 percent of
American adults play games on
a computer or a console. Men,
younger adults and minorities
were most likely to play those
games.
Among those who describe
themselves as gamers, 45 per-
cent play over the Internet. And
more than a third of online gam-
ers spent more than $200 last
year on gaming, compared with
nearly a quarter of those who
dont play games online.
Online gamers also spent
more time playing those games.
Forty-two percent of online
gamers said they spent at least
four hours playing games dur-
ing an average week, compared
with 26 percent of those who
dont play online. About one
in six online gamers play more
than 10 hours a week.
The survey results come as
Sony Corp., Nintendo Co. and
Microsoft Corp. prepare to push
their new consoles this week at
the Electronic Entertainment
Expo in Los
Angeles. All
three are hop-
ing to make
broad online
features such
as multiplayer
games, video
conf erenci ng
and download-
able content a
core element of
the video game experience.
Casual games like board or
card games were the most popu-
lar, followed by strategy games,
action sports, adventure, frst-
person shooters and simula-
tions, the poll found. Casual,
strategy and role-playing games
were most popular among on-
line gamers.
And that game playing can be
expensive.
Cameron Wrights gaming
cost more than $4,500 last year,
most of that on upgrades to two
of his four PCs.
More than a fourth of gam-
ers say they spent nothing on
that hobby last year and slightly
more, 31 percent, spent $100 or
less.
Only 11 percent spent more
than $500 last year. Online
gamers are more likely to have
spent more than $500 last year
compared with gamers who
dont play online. Six in 10
hardcore gamers those who
play three or more hours per
week spent $200 or less on
games last year.
A l t h o u g h
Wright usually
spends about
two hours a
week on gam-
ing, he said
he sometimes
makes extra
time for adult-
themed military
strategy games
like Command
and Conquer, which he plays
online with friends.
Once you start, they get
quite intricate, said Wright, a
44-year-old investment man-
ager from Indianapolis. Youre
looking at four to fve hours a
night.
Of those who play online
games, nearly one in fve said
they had formed ongoing friend-
ships or relationships with fel-
low gamers they did not know
before, the poll found.
Valente said she met her
roommate and her boyfriend
in online games and regu-
larly uses special computer
software called TeamSpeak
to talk with teammates and
friends.

The American Cancer society
sold luminarias in honor of those
who battled cancer. At 10 p.m.
the names of those whom the
luminarias were purchased for
were read aloud during a touch-
ing memorial. The luminarias
were then lit one by one in a
circle of light displayed brightly
from Memorial Stadium.
The American Cancer society
made the event lively by playing
music from radio station 92.9
while people walked on the track,
played football, played Frisbee or
danced the night away.
The event showed how many
young lives cancer had come
in contact with such as Bill
Bourgeois. The Mound, Minn.,
junior, said his best friends sis-
ter recently was diagnosed with
cancer after her 19th birthday
and he wanted a more direct
way to help support the fght
against cancer.
Its better than just donating
money because everyone is out
here having a good time with all the
events and everyone gets involved
to help out, Bourgeois said.
Joey Regan, Chicago, junior,
said a friend had mentioned the
event to him earlier this year so
he decided to come out and sup-
port a good cause.
Schroeder said the partici-
pation in Lawrence was awe-
some and she was excited about
the turnout on a Friday Night.
Its a big deal people are re-
ally passionate about fnding a
cure, Schroeder said.

NEW ORLEANS Fats
Domino, the headliner for Jazz
Fests fnal day, canceled his per-
formance several hours before
he was to take the stage Sunday,
organizers said.
Festival organizers declined
to say why the 78-year-old Hall
of Fame performer would not
play.
Last week, he had canceled
an autograph session for his lat-
est album Alive and Kickin,
saying he was fatigued and
wanted to rest up for the Jazz
Fest performance.
On Thursday, in an inter-
view with The Associated
Press, Domino said he was
excited about performing and
hoped to inspire festival-go-
ers. Domino lost his home, his
pianos, his gold and platinum
records, and much of the city
he loves in Hurricane Katrinas
fooding.
The six-day festival over two
weekends drew enthusiastic
crowds of locals and out-of-
towners eager to support the
storm-ravaged city and its mu-
sic. The 37th annual festival was
held at the New Orleans Fair
Grounds Race Course, which
was under 5 feet of water at the
height of the fooding.
As fans poured through the
gates Sunday morning, Bar-
bara Martin claimed her spot
near the stage set up initially
for Domino and Paul Simon.
Lionel Richie was instead go-
ing to perform the closing set
at the main stage.
This has been a Jazz Fest like
no other, said Martin, who had
attended three days of the festi-
val. So many artists have come
down for us. Theyre trying to
inspire us to restore and rebuild
New Orleans, both musically
and emotionally.
Soul singer Irma Thomas
played before a rain-soaked
crowd in the afternoon, opening
her act with, appropriately, Its
Raining.
Her tone became more somber
for In the Middle of it All, which
she said represents the state of city
and its people right now.
I sang this song to let you
know that were all hurting, but
we have hope, Thomas said.
Later in the day, jazz clari-
netist Pete Fountain, who also
lost his home in the storm and
then had quadruple bypass
heart surgery in March, was
expected to play. He has been
largely out of the limelight this
year. He was too ill for his tra-
ditional march with his Half
Fast Marching Club in this
years Mardi Gras.
Fountains home in New Or-
leans is repaired, but he lost his
$1.5 million house in Bay St.
Louis, Miss., his gold records,
memorabilia and 10 musical in-
struments to the storm.
Many musicians returned to
New Orleans for the festival,
some for the frst time since Ka-
trina.
Some, however, were unable
to make the trip, including Aar-
on Neville, who for more than a
decade had performed with his
brothers Art, Cyril and Charles
on the festivals closing day.
Art, who played the festival
last weekend, is the only Neville
brother living in New Orleans
since the storm.

CIA candidate
draws criticism
By nedra Pickler
WASHINGTON Even be-
fore President Bush has named
his choice to take over the CIA,
the Air Force general who is
the front-runner drew fre Sun-
day from lawmakers in his own
party who say a military man
should not lead
the civilian spy
agency.
The criticism
of the expected
choice of Gen.
Michael Hayden
to head the CIA
came from some
infuential Re-
publicans in
Congress as well as from Demo-
crats.
I do believe hes the wrong
person, the wrong place, at the
wrong time, said House Intel-
ligence Committee Chairman
Peter Hoekstra, R-Mich. We
should not have a military per-
son leading a civilian agency at
this time.
Hoekstra said on Fox News
Sunday that having a general
in charge of the CIA could
create the impression among
agents around the world that
the agency is under Pentagon
control. If he were to get the
nomination, military offcers
would run all the major spy
agencies, from the ultra-secret
National Security Agency to
the Defense Intelligence Agen-
cy.
The sentiment was echoed by
Republican Rep. Saxby Cham-
bliss of Georgia, who said
Haydens military background
would be a major problem,
and several Democrats who
made the rounds of the Sunday
talk shows. Sen. Joe Biden, D-
Del., said Hayden could leave
agents with the impression
that the CIA
has been just
gobbled up by
the Defense
Department.
The criti-
cism comes
a day before
Bush was ex-
pected to name
Hayden as his
choice to lead the CIA. Out-
going director Porter Goss
abruptly announced his resig-
nation Friday after fewer than
two years on the job.
Hayden is widely respected in
both parties for his long experi-
ence with intelligence, and many
lawmakers said he could be a
good candidate for some other
job. Some, like Democratic Sen.
Dianne Feinstein of California,
suggested that he might think
about resigning his military post
if he were going to head the
CIA. California Rep. Jane Har-
man, leading Democrat on the
House intelligence committee,
said Hayden made a big mis-
take by defending the legality
of in December during a speech
at the National Press Club, and
on CNNs Late Edition.
I
do believe hes
the wrong per-
son, the wrong place,
at the wrong time.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day Youll Have:
5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Diffcult
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
HHHH Others might inadvertently pres-
sure you. Try to understand and integrate
new information. What might result is a
change in plans. You will head in a new di-
rection if you are willing to relax and let go.
Tonight: Say yes.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
HH You might need to think through a deci-
sion that involves your work and/or daily
routine. Evaluate what might be going on
with a loved one or a friend, understanding
that you can only do so much so fast. Give
yourself space.
Tonight: Relax and let go of tension.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
HHHHHSomeone near you does a total
reversal, encouraging you to think twice about
what is going on. Allowmore fun and happi-
ness to enter your life. Think in terms of gaining
newinformation through creative inquiries.
Tonight: Footloose and fancy-free -- even if
it is Monday!
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
HHHH Establish greater concern and se-
curity within your personal life. Sometimes
even you -- the sign associated with family
and home -- can get too preoccupied and
wound up in details and lifes issues; dont.
Remember your priorities, please.
Tonight: As you like it -- at home.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
HHHHH Sometimes you could get over-
whelmed by all that others want and expect.
You have a lot of give and energy, but every-
one, including the Lion, has his or her limits.
Know when to say enough. Rearrange your
plans in order to avoid a risk.
Tonight: Chat away with a friend. Catch up
on weekend news.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
HHHH You are in prime shape during the
daylight hours. Still, a confict could arise
when you least expect it. Know when to pull
back and say enough. Rather than get angry
or triggered, walk past this issue.
Tonight: Youve got what it takes.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
HHH Adjust plans and continue to be will-
ing to take a back seat. Understanding your
limits might be more important than you real-
ize. Think positively. Take action when day
turns to night. You are favored at that point.
Tonight: As you like it.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
HHHHH You might want to jump through
a hoop or two to accomplish more of what
you want. A fnancial risk -- whether to make
plans work or to have a situation work better
-- needs to be bypassed for now, despite
what you think!
Tonight: Vanish when the sun does.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
HHH You feel pressured and react to oth-
ers in a strong manner. Dont cause yourself
a problem with a higher-up or someone you
need to honor or respond to. You might be
overwhelmed by news or just plain tired.
Tonight: Relax with friends. You will feel better.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
HHH You could be edgier than usual, and as
a result, misinterpret someone or a situation.
Try to detach and take the high road. You
need to get to the bottom of a problem, but
you wont gain more information by reacting.
Tonight: Read between the lines.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
HHHH You might not be as anchored as
you would like to be. Others affect you in
odd ways. You could be sorely disappointed
by a friend or a meeting. Know when to
defer to a trusted associate. He or she has
more resilience right now.
Tonight: Get together with a special friend.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
HHH You know when to fnd others and
what to do. You need to defer to those around
you rather than become embroiled in a power
play. Know when to back off and not get into a
problem. Think positively, not reactively.
Tonight: Say yes to anothers suggestion.

Members of Duke Universitys
nationally ranked lacrosse team
were accused of raping and
sodomizing an exotic dancer hired
to perform at one of their team
parties. Because the case involves
wealthy students in a poor com-
munity and an African American
female victim, the story, which
started as an allegation of gang
rape, has spiraled into a series of
mini-wars pitting rich against poor,
white against black and women
against men. It concerns me that
the focus has shifted from the
accusation of such a humiliating
and violent crime to an issue of
one demographic triumphing over
another. I am disturbed by the fact
that the shock of such a violent
rape existed as hardly more than a
stutter before it was drowned out
by other perceived injustices.
While the incident may rep-
resent culture clashes, lets look
at whats really going on. Sexual
violence on college campuses
needs to be stopped and it is
something that should concern
every member of society equal-
ly. Its easy to blame behavior
on being under the inuence
or to claim that boundaries
were not clear. In the case of
the lacrosse team, the victims
status as an exotic dancer leads
some to believe that she asked
for it. An appropriate reaction
is an effort to prevent similar
instances from occurring.
Rape and sexual assault has
received more attention in recent
decades, yet it is still one of the
most under-reported crimes, with
more than half of all sexual as-
saults left unreported. According
to RAINN, the Rape, Abuse, and
Incest National Network, every
two and a half minutes, some-
where in America, someone is
sexually assaulted. Our society is
becoming more aware of sexual
assault and understanding that
it is a situation of victimization,
and because of that rape and
sexual assault has fallen more
than 64% since 1993.
Even though sexual assault
is on the decline, reaching
complete eradication of sexual
assault still requires victims to
report the incidences. Kristen
Abell, Program Coordinator
at the Emily Taylor Womens
Resource Center, said that
sexual assault was the most
common problem seen at the
center. While assault techni-
cally ts under the category of
physical abuse, victims are also
just as likely to be counseled for
emotional abuse as well.
Sexual violence on college
campuses needs to be stopped
and there are resources that
specically address sexual assault
on campuses. Web sites, hotlines,
and on-campus groups are there
to be used and to help stop these
crimes from happening. Be aware
and help make sure no one has to
be subject to such a violent crime.

Last week, my world came
crashing down. I realized that
Im probably not going to get a
4.0 GPA this semester.
This is hard for me to swal-
low. I have a very difcult time
dealing with the thought. I
confess: I am grade-obsessed.
Ill pause for a moment for
all of you to wash the taste
of vomit from your mouths. I
completely understand the con-
tempt that we grade-obsessed
people draw from those who
dont need everything they do
validated by a percentage.
But please, have pity on me. I
suffer from an innocent mental
condition. I must make all As.
So, when it became appar-
ent to me that it would be near
impossible for me to do so this
semester, I was crushed. My life
was pretty much over.
I briey considered just com-
pletely letting myself go like Ron
Burgundy after he gets red in An-
chorman, wandering the streets
with a scraggly beard and drinking
milk straight from the carton. But
then I realized I had a column to
write.
My topic was to be what I
had learned during my freshman
year of college. I had planned
to put down a bunch of clichs
about getting parking tickets,
ordering pizza and swimming
in fountains. Instead, I decided
to put down a bunch of clichs
about not chasing grades.
After a 15-minute period of
moping, I got to thinking.
Because this semester will like-
ly be the rst time in my academic
career that I dont achieve a 4.0
GPA, one might surmise that I
have learned less than I have dur-
ing any previous semester during
college, high school or any previ-
ous educational level.
But Ive learned more this se-
mester than I ever have before,
even though Ive only taken
four classes.
In my Spanish class, Ive
learned to communicate albe-
it crudely and awkwardly in
an entirely different language.
During my Intro to International
Relations course, I have devel-
oped the ability to read through
the entire front section of The
New York Times and actually
understand what most of the
articles are saying not a bad
skill for someone who wants to
write about politics.
And, most benecial of all,
my Research and Writing class
in the Journalism School has
effectively served as an instruc-
tion manual for the career eld I
want to enter when I graduate.
In this, the worst semester
of my entire academic career
by grading standards, I have
actually gained more skills and
knowledge that will allow me
to live a fullling life and have a
career one day than I ever have
before.
Obviously, theres a lesson
here: Grades dont mean every-
thing. When I say this, I dont
mean that school is just a con-
formist mind-control device used
by The Man to bring you down
or that you should just drop out
and play your acoustic guitar on
Massachusetts Street all day.
I just mean that grades dont
really reect what youve ac-
complished.
Education, especially higher
education, is about preparing
yourself for the years ahead of
you. Make this your goal, and the
grades will sort themselves out.
Please, continue to study for
nals and nish your end-of-
semester projects. But make
those things exercises in show-
ing what youve learned, not
struggles to get certain grades.
Ive found that this mindset
makes things considerably less
stressful. So, this is my advice,
to the slackers and the grade-
obsessed alike: Quit stressing
about grades and just try to
absorb skills and knowledge.
Or, you can drive yourself
crazy and go the Ron Burgundy
route. Its your choice.

The University Daily Kansan
has published editorials about
numerous concerns that affect
students on a global scale. The
University itself has an excel-
lent Study Abroad program
and is developing its Confucius
Insititute for Chinese studies.
Numerous students participate
in activities to draw attention
to world events such as the
chaos in Darfur, Sudan and join
groups such as the Peace Corps
that work with the disadvan-
taged the world over.
And yet, our age group
people from 18 to 24 years
of age just doesnt appear to
give a ip about the world at
all, and with the world becom-
ing more and more global, this
could become a major handicap
not only to individuals but also
to our country.
A study conducted by Roper
Public Affair for the National
Geographic Society found that
many people who are col-
lege-aged cant nd important
countries or states on a map.
Two thirds cant locate Iraq.
Six months after Hurricane Ka-
trina, one third couldnt locate
the state of Louisiana. Afghani-
stan, Iran, Israel and Saudi
Arabia nations often in the
news were also difcult for
students to locate, as were the
states of New York and Ohio.
This isnt new news, either.
A similar survey conducted for
the Society in 2002 also showed
that Americans were severely
lacking in geographic knowl-
edge. To add insult to injury,
less than 30 percent of those
polled said it was important
to know where nations in the
news were located and only 14
percent said it was important to
be uent in a foreign language.
Terry Slocum, associate
professor and chairman of ge-
ography, said that this wasnt a
new phenomena and that other
professors in his department
have complained for the past
15 to 20 years about students
that didnt know their geogra-
phy. One source of the problem
could be the lack of geography
courses in middle and high
schools, he said.
The necessity of understand-
ing geography is an important
concept for students, especially
those who wish to work with
major companies or have jobs
overseas.
You cant understand world
affairs if you dont know where
things are, he said.
The United States is one of
the most powerful countries in
the world. In the last ve years,
our government has con-
ducted two military campaigns
overseas, sending thousands
of Americans abroad. Our
economy is a major player in the
world market and theres a rea-
son our country was once called
a melting pot of cultures.
It is unacceptable that we,
the future leaders and citizens
of this country, do not know
about our global neighbors and
downplay the importance of
such knowledge. One should
not live, work and play in this
world without understanding it.
But there is hope. Any
student reading the Kansan
or any newspaper is at-
tempting to increase his or her
knowledge of the world. Any
student who studies geography
or learns a foreign language is
preparing him- or herself for
the future. Go online to http://

With nals quickly approach-
ing, we are all busy trying to
plan our summer vacations. For
many, that includes quality time
soaking up the sun at one of the
many area lakes. Unfortunately,
for some that quality time turns
into a disaster. But it doesnt
have to be that way. Being
aware of the basic safety precau-
tions and local laws will help
keep you and your friends safe.
First of all, those dorky little
vests that you always see people
wear on TV? Thats not just the
costumers having fun. Personal
Flotation Devices are integral to
keeping you aoat should you fall
out of the boat. Find one that ts
properly and wear it. At minimum,
you need to have one Coast Guard
approved PFD for each person on
the boat and readily available, and
for boats measuring more than
sixteen feet you also need a Type-IV
throw cushion. If you dont like
the bulkiness of the PFD while its
on, consider an inatable.
Secondly, make sure you
have some way of signaling for
help should you get stranded.
This can include day and
nighttime ares, a signal ag or
utilizing one of those free AOL
disks as a light reector. If you
want to go a little bit more high
tech, learn how to use a marine
vhs radio. Marinas are required
to monitor channel 16, or you
may even be in contact with a
Coast Guard Auxiliary patrol
who will be able to assist you.
Also, remember that the noise
from your boat or personal water
craft, glare from the sun, and
summers heat serve as stressors
and increase the rate of fatigue
on you and all on board. Be-
cause of this, one alcoholic drink
on the water is equal to three on
land. If you decide to drink while
boating, make sure you have a
designated non-drinking opera-
tor who can ensure a safe arrival
back at the marina.
Have fun this summer with
whatever you decide to do. I look
forward to seeing you all back
here safe and sound in the fall.
Except for the graduating seniors.
To all of you, get outta here!

Child immigrants
cause concern
By Olga R. ROdRiguez
TIJUANA, Mexico Alejan-
dro Valenzuela, a loquacious
12-year-old, memorized the de-
tails of a borrowed U.S. birth
certifcate and jumped in the
front seat of his smugglers car.
Tired from a two-day bus trip
to the border from Mexicos
central state of Jalisco, Alejan-
dro soon fell asleep. He was
awakened by
the fashlight of
a U.S. immigra-
tion inspector.
I told him in
English, Im an
American citi-
zen, but he kept
asking ques-
tions. Thats all
the English I
know, Alejan-
dro said as he
rested at a child
welfare offce
back in Tijuana, across the bor-
der from San Diego.
Alejandro is one of a rising
number of children trying to
sneak into the United States
without their parents. Some
hide in cars or try to pass them-
selves off as U.S. citizens, while
others ride inner tubes across
the Rio Grande or trek through
the harsh Arizona desert.
Since October, about 70,000
children have been detained
along the Mexican border, a 5
percent increase over the same
period a year earlier, the U.S.
Border Patrol says.
Like Alejandro who wants
to get to Corona, Calif., to join
a father he hasnt seen in nine
years most children are head-
ing north to reunite with par-
ents living illegally in the United
States.
The Sept. 11 terror attacks
prompted the United States to
tighten security along its south-
ern border, making it harder to
sneak in. Rather than risking a
return to Mexico to get their chil-
dren, many migrants are paying
smugglers to bring them north.
Experts say that number will
likely increase if the U.S. Congress
presses ahead with plans to tight-
en border security even more.
In the traditional method of
crossing children, a smuggler
drives across
the border pre-
tending to be a
relative of the
child, who is
carrying false
or borrowed
documents. But
border agents
are giving clos-
er scrutiny to
d o c u me n t s ,
and smugglers
are tyring other
methods.
Were seeing a very danger-
ous trend of stuffng minors
in trunks, in hidden compart-
ments, in washing machines,
even in gas tanks, said Adele
Fasano, director of feld opera-
tions for the San Diego district
of U.S. Customs and Border
Protection.
Last August, border inspec-
tors found a 10-year-old boy
who had been sedated with
cough medicine and crammed
inside the dashboard of a van.
The boy was unconscious and
dehydrated, Fasano said.
Fasano said many of those
children had to be treated for re-
spiratory distress or burns from
being near hot engines.
These are criminals work-
ing with sophisticated smug-
gling organizations that will go
to any length to make money,
Fasano said.

DAKAR, Senegal A New
Yorker set off from West Africa
on Sunday to become the frst
black American to row solo
across the Atlantic.
Victor Mooney, 41, said the
voyage in his homemade, 24-
foot boat is to raise awareness
of AIDS in Africa and memori-
alize the route that took African
slaves to the Americas.
Africans went through
slavery and now theyre going
through AIDS and being dev-
astated again, said Mooney,
who lost a brother to the dis-
ease.
About 50 people gathered
on the beach to watch Mooney
head off toward his hometown
many saying they wished him
well, but werent sure why he
was undertaking the dangerous
adventure.
Hes crazy, said Gaston Sa-
baly, who works at a beachside
restaurant. Everybody wants
to go to America, but not like
that.
Mooneys craft has no backup
sail or motor, and he is rowing
with no accompanying boat.
He said the French military has
promised to send planes over
his route occasionally to check
on him.
Fewer than 50 people have
completed solo rows across the
Atlantic, according to the Eng-
land-based Ocean Rowing Soci-
ety. Four have been lost at sea in
the attempt and nearly 40 have
had to abandon their trips, the
group says.
Mooney said he is the frst to
attempt the trip from Africa. He
hopes to reach the Americas in
about 120 days. Wind patterns
and currents mean hell likely
hit the Caribbean frst, then
start up the U.S. East Coast
toward the Brooklyn Bridge
which he aims to reach by
October.
His trip was delayed for nearly
a month in Senegal to fx a keel
broken by fshermen who tried
to move his boat by rolling it on
logs. He called the delay a sur-
prise boon because it gave him
time to know the local popula-
tion.
Mooney said the boat and
its supplies are worth more
than $100,000, but he got most
of his materials as in-kind do-
nations.
T
hese are crimi-
nals working
with sophisticated
smuggling organiza-
tions that will go to
any length to make
money.

Heather Stanley picked
quite a day to record one of
her best performances of the
season.
The senior designated-hitter
struggled in the last two weeks,
going 1-for-12 at the plate. Stan-
ley changed that trend Sunday
on Senior Day. She went 2-for-3
at the plate, scored two runs and
recorded an RBI in Kansas 3-0
victory against Iowa State at Ar-
rocha Ballpark.
Heathers been struggling,
Kansas coach Tracy Bunge
said. She pulled herself to-
gether and looked like a much
different hitter today. She re-
ally took some good hacks and
obviously had a couple big hits
and an RBI today in a big situa-
tion. She looked good up at the
plate.
Stanley and the other fve se-
niors had a big day at the plate,
recording six of the teams eight
hits. For a team that had strug-
gled offensively in the last two
weeks, Kansas effectively used
a small-ball strategy to advance
base runners and score runs, as
opposed to relying on the home
run.
Last week, we couldnt buy
a hit, Stanley said. This week,
weve done pretty well the last
couple games.
Stanley led off the third in-
ning with a single to left field.
She advanced to second af-
ter freshman third baseman
Val Chapples sacrifice bunt.
Stanley scored the Jayhawks
first run after senior pitcher
Serena Settlemier reached
base on an error by Cyclone
second baseman Jennifer Big-
bee.
Stanley contributed to Kan-
sas two other runs in the fourth
inning. She recorded a two-out
single, scoring senior left felder
Nettie Fierros and then scored
a run herself off senior center
felder Stevie Crisostos single to
center feld.
Settlemier pitched one of
her best outings of the season,
allowing only three hits and
striking out eight in the game
for her 16th victory of the sea-
son. The 16 victories are a ca-
reer high for the ffth-year se-
nior.
I felt in a groove, Settlemier
said. I was in a rhythm, I had
my pitches working.
The key for Settlemier on
Sunday was keeping the Cy-
clones hitters off balance with
a mix of fastballs and off-speed
pitches. Her eight strike outs
were a personal best in Big 12
play this season.

In the last three years the Kan-
sas soccer program has reached
new heights, including a Big 12
Championship, a Top 10 rank-
ing and NCAA Tournament
berths. The Jayhawks, however,
have accomplished these feats
with one notable handicap: few-
er players on their roster than
other Big 12 teams.
This fall, Kansas will solve
that problem by holding open
tryouts to extend its roster.
Compared to other Big 12
schools, we used to have small-
er teams by far, Kansas coach
Mark Francis said. Now well
be right in line.
Adding players to the soc-
cer roster was something that
Francis and the Athletics De-
partment had been trying to do
since last season. Francis said
that he originally had wanted
to have three more players than
the 23 that were on the team last
season, but said he couldnt fnd
enough players he liked.
Jim Marchiony, associate ath-
letics director, said the addition
of the four players had nothing
to do with Title IX compliance.
We are just trying to make
sure that everyone with the tal-
ent and desire to play can play,
Marchiony said. Soccer is a
sport where we are at the low
end of players in the Big 12, and
we need to improve that.
Marchiony also said that the
Athletics Department could add
more roster spots to other sports
in the future, but didnt make
any guarantees.
Currently, the falls soccer
team has 24 players on the ros-
ter, 18 returning players and six
incoming freshman. The open
tryouts will take place on the
frst day of school, Aug. 17.
Francis said he didnt have
any idea how many players
would try out, but said it would
be a mix of incoming freshmen
players and current Kansas club
soccer players.
Francis said the women who
tried out could make signifcant
contributions to the team.

I cant blame myself for being
refective at this time of the year.
But in my fnal column today,
Ive become not only refective,
but grateful.
As Ive been lucky enough to
write sports columns in the Kan-
san all year, Ive fought a battle
with myself not to take it for
granted. If I ever did, I should
be ashamed of myself. As one
chapter of life ends after college
and another one looms, I cant
help but remember a friend who
was taken too soon.
About eight years ago, I was
working on my high school pa-
per and like clockwork every
day, my friend Mike would pay
us his morning visit. Usually,
the discussions would be about
how much we disliked school or
weekend plans.
Whatever mood I was in, he
always acted as if all was well.
There werent many people Ive
ever met who exhibited an appre-
ciation for life as Mike did. Then
in 1999, while skateboarding,
Mike fipped off his skateboard
and hit his head. He got up with
a headache, but thought nothing
of it and left. That night he went
to sleep and never woke up.
We were all devastated by
his death and when graduation
came a couple of years later,
we remembered our friend who
never got to walk the stage with
us.
Mike always knew what
I wanted to do with my life.
Maybe its the many things that
have happened throughout the
year that has made me become
introspective. From the football
game against Nebraska, many
road trips, the Fort Worth Bowl,
my work with KJHK, the basket-
ball season, I wonder how Mike
would think about it today.
Of all the friends Ive ever
had, he believed in me as much
as anyone. He was a kind soul
and an even kinder person. He
never deserved to be taken so
soon, but it always made me
wonder what exactly awaits af-
ter life. It must really be good.
When I take that into consid-
eration, my fears about life after
college shouldnt be that bad.
This is why I didnt think the
world was coming to an end af-
ter Kansas lost to Bradley in the
NCAA tournament. The same
could be said for when the foot-
ball team was at 3-4 and facing
a turning point in its season be-
fore facing Missouri.
Whether we want to accept it
or not, these are all just games.
If we get to write about them,
cover them for TV or call the
games on the radio, we should
just feel lucky. As fellow Kansan
writer and good friend Daniel
Berk has always said, were just
living the dream. We all are.
Today, I realize that I am lucky
for everything I have, everyone I
know and everyone Ive ever cared
about. I am living the dream. I just
hope I dont wake too soon.
This is why I remember Mike
every day as graduation beck-
ons. Forever in his memory, I
live as if tomorrow may never
come. Although hes gone, his
dream will never die.

With just one Big 12 Confer-
ence series remaining, Kansas
succumbed to its frst confer-
ence sweep in Austin this week-
end, ending with an 11-1 loss to
Texas on Sunday.
Sundays game was called in
the eighth inning after Drew
Stubbs scored on third base-
man Erik Morrisons throwing
error. That run triggered the Big
12s Sunday run rule, cutting the
game off in the bottom of the
eighth with one on and one out
for the Longhorns.
Like Friday nights series
opener, Kansas (33-21, 10-14)
hung with the defending nation-
al champs early as sophomore
designated hitter Brock Simp-
son led off the game with a dou-
ble to center. Simpson scored
on a sacrifce fy from senior
centerfelder Matt Baty, putting
the Jayhawks on the board frst.
Batys RBI was the frst and
last of the afternoon for Kansas.
Sophomore Adrian Alaniz
(6-2) shut Kansas down after
giving up three hits in the frst
inning.
On the opposite mound, se-
nior right-hander Kodiak Quick
(8-4) held Texas (36-15, 19-4) to
just a 3-1 lead through the frst
three innings. It was the fourth,
however, that did him in. The
Longhorns put up seven runs
in the inning, leaving the game
completely out of reach for the
Jayhawks.
They made our pitching
elevate the baseball, Kansas
Coach Ritch Price said. Their
execution was very, very good.

Postseason uncertain
after diffcult season

The Kansas mens golf team
is sitting on the edge of post-
season eligibility.
The team will fnd out Monday
morning when the NCAA makes
its selections for regionals.
The Jayhawks have endured
a rough spring, but were able
to bounce back from their
early-season struggles to fnish
eighth in the Big 12 Champi-
onship last month. The team
comes into the selection pro-
cess ranked 107th in the golf-
week.com national rankings.
On the individual side of golf-
ing, junior Gary Woodland will
likely make the trip to regionals.
Woodland fnished in a tie for
seventh at the Big 12 Champi-
onship and was named to the
All-Big 12 team last week.
The NCAA regionals are
split into three sites, mean-
ing the players would travel
to Florida, Ohio or Arizona to
compete from May 18-20.

On paper, the TKE intra-
mural softball team looked
far superior to Beta A-2. Af-
ter all, Beta A-2 entered the
intramural playoffs last week
without winning a single reg-
ular season game.
TKE finished with a 2-1 re-
cord and second place in their
league. However, it didnt
matter in the playoffs. Beta
A-2 ended TKEs season in
the second
round of
the playoffs
with a 13-
10 victory
last Thurs-
day night.
C o mi n g
off of a con-
vincing 15-
11 victory
against Pi
Kappa Al-
pha in the
first round, TKE was the heavy
favorite in the match-up.
We started out 0-2-1 and
now, this is our second win in
the tournament, said Beta A-2
player Trevor Nohe, Overland
Park junior. We are peaking at
the right time. Nohe was 3-for-
3 in the game with a walk. Nohe
got on base every time he went
to the plate, which contributed
greatly to Beta A-2s victory.
Nohe helped his team the
most by playing extremely well
in left feld. In the fnal three
innings, Nohes play in the
feld was a big highlight reel. In
the ffth inning, Nohe caught
a fy ball hit by TKEs Ryan
Zluticky, Wichita junior, and
showcased his arm strength by
throwing out a tagging runner
at third base.
Nohe didnt have an opportu-
nity to get to every ball, though.
TKE player Will Dunmeir,
Wichita junior, single-handedly
kept his team competitive with
two home runs in the fourth and
sixth innings. Dunmeir also had
six RBI and turned two double
plays in the feld from his short-
stop position.
Starting the fourth inning,
the game was tied at 8-8. That
was when Beta A-2 finally
had an opportunity to pull
away. In a clutch two-out hit,
first baseman Matt Dupy, Sa-
lina junior, sparked a string of
hits that resulted in a five-run
inning.
I just got lucky today and
hit some really nice line drives.
Dupy said.
After Dupys hit, Beta A-
2s pitcher Michael Raupp,
Leawood junior, solidifed the
victory by giving up only two
runs. TKEs pitcher Ryan Zlu-
ticky pitched extremely well at
the beginning of the game by
treating Beta A-2 to two straight
scoreless endings. Neither Zlu-
tickys early pitching nor Dun-
miers late hitting were enough
to overcome the upset Beta A-2
team.
We had too many defensive
errors, Dunmier said.

Kansas needed a sweep
of Iowa State to secure the
sixth seed in the upcoming
Big 12 Tournament. The Jay-
hawks were halfway toward
their goal after a 5-0 victory
against the Cyclones Satur-
day.
Kansas scored five runs
in the bottom of the fifth in-
ning, including a three-run
home run from senior sec-
ond baseman Jessica Mop-
pin.
Sophomore right elder
Betsy Wilson reached base
on a walk to lead off the fth
inning and pinch runner Ash-
ley Goodrich advanced to
second after junior pitcher
Kassie Humphreys sacrice
single. Freshman Val Chap-
ple reached rst on an error
by Iowa State third baseman
Kristy Olsen, advancing Go-
odrich to third. Goodrich
would score off a single by
freshman center elder Ste-
vie Crisosto. Kansas scored
another run to go up 2-0 af-
ter senior shortstop Destiny
Frankensteins single scored
Chapple.
Moppin then hit the home
run. The blast went over the
left field wall, soared over
the fence and ended up on
the football practice field up
the hill from Arrocha Ball-
park.
It was one of the hardest
balls Ive seen her hit in a long
time, Kansas coach Tracy
Bunge said. She obviously
was looking for that and got
what she was looking for. She
got about everything of that
thing you could get.
Moppin was part of the top
of the Jayhawks order that
each recorded a hit in the
game. Among Kansas rst
ve batters, only the usually
powerful senior pitcher Ser-
ena Settlemier did not record
a hit.
Hu mp h r e y s , ( 1 4 - 1 6 ) ,
pitched another strong per-
formance, allowing one hit,
striking out nine and walk-
ing five in the complete sev-
en-inning effort.
There were 547 fans and
30 dogs in attendance, as
part of Saturdays Bark in
the Park promotion that
allowed fans to bring their
dogs to the game.

Could you blame Serena Set-
tlemier for being a little bit jit-
tery?
After all, she was pitching
in front of her Kelso, Wash.,
family members and hundreds
of fans in her final home soft-
ball game.
On Settlemiers second pitch
of the game, the senior pitcher
stepped on the hill, wound back
with her familiar delivery, and
let loose. Only instead of throw-
ing the ball to home plate, she
lost her grasp and ung the ball
directly into the dirt beneath
her.
Yeah, that was embarrass-
ing, Settlemier said. It just
seems to happen sometimes.
Outside of Settlemiers hu-
morous first-inning miscue on
the mound, she was as sharp
as ever, pitching a perfect
game for more than four in-
nings before finally allowing
three hits in a complete game
shutout.
I felt in my groove out there,
the right hander said. I just kept
them off balance.
Settlemiers performance on
Sunday was a coronation of
not only one of Kansas all time
greats, but also a player adored
by her teammates. Before the
game, Settlemier received praise
in a senior day speech from ju-
nior Nicole Washburn.
If you ever talk to Serena
about any of her accomplish-
ments, she always gives credit
to her teammates, Instead of
seeing her career ending inju-
ry as what it was, she saw it as
a game and won, Washburn
said, about Settlemier recov-
ering from surgery to play
softball again.
But Settlemier wasnt the only
senior to have an effect on the Jay-
hawks victory on Sunday. Short-
stop Destiny Frankenstein and
designated player Heather Stan-
ley had two hits each. Outeld-
ers Ashley Goodrich and Nettie
Fierros also had a hit. The seniors
combined for six of Kansas eight
hits and also were responsible for
scoring all of the Jayhawks three
runs as Stanley crossed the plate
twice and Fierros once.
Maybe I knew it was my last
time on the eld, and I wanted
to have a good memory, Stan-
ley said.
Before the game started,
seniors Settlemier, Franken-
stein, Fierros, Goodrich,
Stanley and second baseman
Jessica Moppin walked in
with their families and re-
ceived flowers, pictures and
short thank-you speeches
from their teammates.
The honored seniors will go
down as being one of the top se-
nior classes in team history. To-
gether, they have combined for
134 home runs, 120 victories and
four All Big 12 Team selections.
Im really proud of them,
not just for today, but for their
careers, Kansas coach Tracy
Bunge said. This was just a day
for the seniors.

Shes not blowing the ball
by anybody, but shes spin-
ning the ball enough, Bunge
said. Shes got good move-
ment on the screwball, been
throwing the curveball very
well recently and shes been
mixing in some pretty good
rise balls to get people to
chase on that.
Settlemier also got help from
the defense to help preserve her
fth shutout of the season.
Senior left elder Nettie Fi-
erros led off one of the oddest
double plays seen this season
with the Cyclones poised to take
the momentum.
In the fth inning Fierrros
ran into foul territory to make
a diving catch to record the
out against Bigbee. She then
threw the ball to senior second
baseman Jessica Moppin who
tagged pinch-runner Whitney
Perkins for the third out of the
inning. The double play ended
the Cyclones threat and helped
the Jayhawks keep the momen-
tum in the games nal two in-
nings.
Thats the best catch Ive
ever seen Nettie Fierros make
in the outeld, Bunge said.
That was a big play at the
time, a big momentum changer,
when Iowa State could have
got something rolling a little bit
right there.
With the series sweep
against Iowa State, Kansas
earned a six seed in the up-
coming Big 12 Tournament.
The Jayhawks will play the
third seeded Baylor Bears at
11 a.m. Thursday in Oklaho-

Friday Texas 7, Kansas 4
Drew Stubbs wasnt the hot-
test player in the Texas line-
up when he stepped to the
plate in the seventh inning
on Friday. The outfielder was
hitless in his last six at-bats.
With one swing of the
bat, his slump was broken
along with the 3-3 tie.
Stubbss RBI single scored
Nick Peoples and put No. 7
Texas ahead 4-3. Texas added
three more runs in the game,
while Kansas managed just
one more and lost 7-4.
During the first four in-
nings, it was hard to tell
which team was the defend-
ing national champions, and
which team was fighting to
remain in the top half of the
Big 12.
Kansas gained a two-run
lead in the first behind a trio
of seniors. A single by Gus
Milner knocked in team-
mates Ritchie Price and Matt
Baty.
In the meantime, senior
right-hander Ricky Fairch-
ild was cruising. Fairchild
retired the first six batters
he faced and kept the Long-
horns off the scoreboard for
the first four innings.
The fifth inning would
mark the beginning of the
end for each teams starter.
Texas right-hander Kyle Mc-
Culloch exited the game af-
ter being hit with a line drive
with one out in the inning.
Texas finally got to Fairch-
ild in the bottom of the in-
ning. A lead off walk by Kyle
Russell and timely hitting
that followed tied the game,
3-3. Fairchild lasted one out
into the sixth inning. Neither
starter figured in the deci-
sion.
The bullpens made the dif-
ference in the game. Lefty
Kyle Walker and righty Ran-
dy Boone came and shut
down the Kansas offense,
allowing just one run in 4.2
innings.
Kansas junior righty Bren-
dan McNamara and fresh-
man righty Paul Smyth came
in and surrendered four runs
in 2.2 innings.
Walker (3-1) notched the
victory, McNamara (2-2) got
the loss and Boone recorded
his first save of the season.
Saturday Texas 11,
Kansas 4
Sean Land hadnt missed
a Friday start since the first
weekend of the season, but
he found himself relegated
to bullpen duty for the Texas
series. He entered Saturdays
game in relief of freshman
pitcher Nick Czyz.
With two outs and a run-
ner in scoring position in the
fifth inning, Land ended the
inning with a strikeout of
Stubbsand then struck out
the side in the sixth.
Despite Lands efforts, the
damage had already been
done and more was on the
way. After Texas put up four
runs on Czyz, who lasted just
3.2 innings in his first career
Big 12 start, the Longhorns
posted seven more runs to
win 11-4.
Theyre playing like
theyre the No. 7 team in the
country, Price said. Their
pitching has been fabulous.
Control issues led to Czyzs
downfall, particularly in the
fourth inning.
Czyz retired the first two
batters of the inning, but then
hit two consecutive batters.
Texas first baseman Chance
Wheeless came to the plate
next and drove in both base
runners with a double.
Czyz came out after that
and got the loss, dropping
his record to 3-2.
Riley Boening was on the
hill for Texas and earned the
victory to improve his record
to 4-1. Boening shut Kan-
sas out for six innings while
striking out seven and allow-
ing only three hits.
I thought he was very
impressive, Kansas coach
Ritch Price said of Boening.
Hes got a very good fast-
ball, obviously, and he con-
tinues to improve his com-
mand. Hes a very special
young man.
Freshmen Andy Marks
and Paul Smyth pitched the
eighth inning and gave up
two earned runs apiece, plus
two unearned runs allowed
by Smyth destroyed any hope
the Jayhawks had of tying up
the series.

Yankees manager
gets 1,000th career
victory
ARLINGTON, Texas Joe
Torre got his 1,000th victory
as manager of the Yankees,
with Hideki Matsui hitting
a three-run homer in an
8-5 victory over the Texas
Rangers on Sunday that
stretched New Yorks win-
ning streak to a season-high
five games.
Torre, who took over
for the 1996 season, has
a 1,000-645 record with
New York, trailing only Joe
McCarthy (1,460), Casey
Stengel (1,149) and Miller
Huggins (1,067).
Chien-Ming Wang (2-1) al-
lowed three runs and seven
hits in six innings for New
York.
Robinson Tejeda (1-1) al-
lowed six runs and six hits
in three-plus innings. The
Rangers have lost their last
eight games against the
Yankees.

Quick moved the inning
along smoothly at rst, coaxing
the teams rst two outs with no
harm done. But down to their
last out, the Longhorns went
on a tear, sending 11 batters to
the plate in the bottom of the
fourth.
Texas followed a Drew
Stubbs triple with three con-
secutive doubles, split up by
junior right-hander Brendan
McNamaras replacement of
Quick.
Although McNamara shut
out the Longhorns for his 2.1
innings of work, the damage
had already been done. Quick
was responsible for 10 runs in
his shortest outing of the sea-
son.
His defense pulled less than
its weight behind him, as only
ve of Texas 11 runs were
earned. The rest were because of
four Kansas errors, which tied a
season high.
The Jayhawks will take on
Missouri State this Wednesday
and continue their break from
Big 12 play, and will play host to
Bradley and Northern Colorado
next weekend.
Game Notes:
Sophomore second baseman
Ryne Price entered the game
in the bottom of the fth. He
played two innings at second
before being lifted for Matt
Berner. Price is still not in the
batting order while he recov-
ers from his April 14 wrist
surgery.
Senior closer Don Czyz
threw for 1.1 innings to end
the game. It was his rst

April 30.

increase to the roster with
mixed feelings.
It could be diffcult to de-
velop chemistry with all the new
players, but I think it will push
us all to do well everyday, Col-
leen Quinn, sophomore goal-
keeper, said.
Francis said the four new
players would be walk-ons and
would not receive any scholar-
ship money. Also, he recom-
mended anyone who attended
tryouts to be in good shape,
because the tryout will consist
of playing soccer and a ftness
test.
Those interested in trying
out should contact Kara Low-
ery at 864-5833 or klowery@
ku.edu.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. Train-
er Michael Matz was holding
court outside his barn, his Ken-
tucky Derby winner Barbaro
just a few yards away munching
grass.
Barely 12 hours after Barbaro
become just the sixth undefeated
Derby winner, Triple Crown talk
flled the air. It happens every
Sunday after the frst Saturday
in May, when hopes are high in
thoroughbred racing that a su-
perstar has arrived to revive the
sport.
You always want to have a
horse you can say can win the
Triple Crown, Matz said. We
think this is a terrifc horse
with tremendous ability. If I
told you I didnt think in the
long haul that wed have a Tri-
ple Crown winner Id be lying
to you.
Matz has been confdent
about his dark bay colt since the
start. After three victories on the
turf, Barbaro was moved to the
dirt and never finched. In the
Derby, he polished off 19 rivals
and won by 6 1/2 lengths the
largest margin since 1946 Triple
Crown winner Assault won by
eight lengths.
Its been 28 years since Af-
frmed became the last Triple
Crown champion, and if Bar-
baro wins the Preakness in two
weeks it would set the stage for
a fourth Triple try in the past
fve years. The most recent was
perhaps the most heartbreaking,
when Smarty Jones lost to Bird-
stone in the fnal yards of the
2004 Belmont.
Barbaro, now 6-for-6, came
out of the Derby in great shape.
Exercise rider Peter Brette told
the trainer Barbaro was feeing
so good you could enter him
again tomorrow.
Well try to keep him at this
level for the next two races and
hopefully hell become a famous
horse, Matz said. All we can
do is try our best and hopefully
hell help us out.
Matz said Barbaro was leav-
ing Churchill Downs later Sun-
day and would arrive at his
home barn in Fair Hill, Md.,
early Monday after a 12-hour
van trip. Pimlico is just 60 miles
away.
Barbaro, who gave Edgar
Prado his frst Derby win, will
go against several familiar faces
from the Derby in the 1 3-16-
mile Preakness.

AUBURN HILLS, Mich.
The Detroit Pistons had LeBron
James seeing triple as in three-
pointers and three defenders.
The Pistons made 10 shots
from beyond the arc in the frst
half one shy of an NBA play-
off record to open up a 21-
point lead at halftime before
cruising to a 113-86 victory
against the Cleveland Cavaliers
on Sunday in Game 1 of their
second-round series.
James scored all of his 22
points in the frst half, but had
to work for each one. Triple-
teamed at times, James was
forced to take tough shots or de-
fer to teammates who didnt re-
spond by making shots of their
own.
The 21-year-old star didnt
play in the fourth quarter after
he was held scoreless in the
third and the Pistons led 94-
64.
Tayshaun Prince made James
work on defense, too, scoring 16
of his 24 points in the frst half.
The two-time defending
Eastern Conference champi-
ons turned the game into a rout
with a franchise playoff-record
43 points in the second quar-
ter against a team in the second
round for the frst time since
1993.
Detroit also set its postseason
record with 15 three-pointers,
on 22 attempts.
The Pistons had four double-
fgure scorers in the frst half
alone, including reserves An-
tonio McDyess and Lindsey
Hunter. Both had 12 at halftime
outscoring every Cavs player
not named James.
Richard Hamilton scored 20,
Chauncey Billups had 14 points
and 10 assists and Rasheed Wal-
lace added 10 points and seven
rebounds.
Ben Wallace, the NBA De-
fensive Player of the Year ac-
cording to an Associated Press
source, had 11 rebounds and
four blocks for the Pistons.
Clevelands Zydrunas Ilgaus-
kas had 14 points after a poor
series against Washington in
the frst round. The Cavs, who
didnt have a third double-digit
scorer until the fourth quarter,
got 11 points from Anderson
Varejao.
The Cavs played about 40
hours after their Game 6 win
at Washington in overtime,
flying home and then to sub-
urban Detroit. Meanwhile,
the Pistons had a day off and
two days of practices after
eliminating Milwaukee in five
games.
The Cavs began the game
with some fght, leading 12-7
and being tied late in the frst
quarter. Detroit went on a 10-
0 run over the last 1:57 of the
frst half helped by James
two turnovers to take a 26-
16 lead.
Cleveland was still hanging
around, by NBA standards,
trailing by 14 until the Pis-
tons closed another quarter
in dominating fashion. Hunt-
er made three three-pointers
in just under a minute and
McDyess closed the 11-4 run
to put the Pistons ahead 69-48
at halftime.
The Pistons went up 32 in the
third quarter and took out their
starters midway through the
fourth.
Notes:
n Ben Wallace won the defen-
sive award for the fourth time
in fve years, a person within
the Pistons organization told
the AP before the game start-
ed. The source, who spoke
on the condition of anonym-
ity because the award has not
been announced, said Wal-
lace will be presented with
the award Tuesday night.
nJames played his frst second-
round game in the same place
he made his pro debut on Oct,
7, 2003, in an exhibition game
against the Pistons.
nDetroits previous playoff re-
cord was 12 three-pointers,
a total reached twice in 2002
against Boston.
nFour teams have made 11
three-pointers in one half of a
playoff game.
nJames fnished second to
Phoenixs Steve Nash in the
MVP voting and Billups was
ffth.
nKid Rock sat courtside, sport-
ing a black Pistons jersey,
shorts and white socks pulled
up to his knees.

Hit, run, score a newsie victory

Kerr erases
big lead to win
By Teresa M. Walker
FRANKLIN, Tenn. Cristie
Kerr thought all week she would
leave here a winner. Then she
started Sunday with what she
called a magical shot, a 50-foot
putt from the fringe that went
up and over a ridge and into the
hole for birdie.
That was one of the best
putts under pressure that Ive
hit in a long time, and it went in
unbelievably, Kerr said.
With that start, Kerr over-
came a four-stroke defcit to win
her seventh LPGA Tour title,
closing with a 5-under 67 for a
two-stroke victory over Lorena
Ochoa, Pat Hurst and Angela
Stanford in the Franklin Ameri-
can Mortgage Championship.
Kerr had fve birdies in her
bogey-free round to fnish with
a tournament-record 19-under
269 total on the Vanderbilt Leg-
ends Clubs Ironhorse Course.
Kerr broke the mark of 17 un-
der set by Annika Sorenstam in
2002, and matched the lowest
score on tour this year, Ochoas
19 under in the 54-hole Takefuji
Classic.
Kerr also became only the sec-
ond American winner through
nine events this year, joining Juli
Inkster the Safeway cham-
pion in March.
It feels absolutely great, and
theres going to be many more,
Kerr said. Weve got a lot of tal-
ented Americans, and everybody
out here, its so competitive out
here I cant tell you.
Ochoa, the tour money leader
who won here in 2004, had three
straight birdies to pull within
two of Kerr. Ochoa tried to eagle
the par-5, 469-yard 18th, but hit
a 5-iron from 180 yards into the
water and fnished with a 66.
Were trying to be aggres-
sive, Ochoa said. We had a
good club in our hand, made
a bad swing, wanted to put it
close and make an eagle. We
were trying.
Hurst had glanced at the lea-
derboard and knew Kerr had a
safe lead. She had a chance at
eagle from nearly 50 feet on No.
18, but her putt came up short
and she settled for her ffth
straight birdie and a 68.
Stanford, trying to win for the
second time in her career and to
become the third wire-to-wire
winner on tour this year, fn-
ished with a 73.

Bryant wins second
tournament this year
HOOVER, Ala. With Brad
Bryants terrifc shots and Mark
McNultys costly blunders, the
Regions Charity Classic took a
dramatic twist at the end.
Bryant turned a three-stroke
defcit into a two-shot victory
over the fnal three holes Sun-
day, fnishing with an 8-under
64 to take full advantage of
McNultys two shots into the
water.
The ending was some-
what bittersweet, Bryant
said. I certainly did not
expect Mark to hit a ball in
the water, let alone hit it in
the water twice. Thats very
unusual. Hes such a great
player. On the other hand, I
just hit great shots.
Two shots in particular
helped give Bryant his second
Champions Tour victory of the
year and a $240,000 payday
with his 17-under 199 total.
McNulty, who had a three-
stroke lead through 15 holes,
sent his second shot into
the water on No. 17 for the
second straight day and made
a double bogey. That left an
opening for Bryant, who used
a 3-iron to hit a near-perfect,
219-yard approach and set up
a nearly 4-foot birdie putt for a
one-stroke edge.
On the previous hole, he hit
a 5-iron 209 yards to set up a
3-foot eagle putt.
Bryant called those swings
quite possibly the best shots
Ive ever hit in my life.
