Connor Meigs was a 19-year-
old student who embraced col-
lege life with both hands. He
was a member of the KU hockey
club team, an artist who received
awards for his sculptures and
paintings and an editorial car-
toonist for The University Daily
Kansan. All of that changed
when Connors life was tragical-
ly cut short after a car accident
on Christmas Eve in 2004.
The Meigs family is auctioning
one of Connors pieces of original
artwork on eBay, a signed draw-
ing of Warren Buffett, Omaha,
Neb., native and the Meigs fam-
ilys neighbor. Buffet, the owner
of Berkshire Hathaway and sec-
ond-richest person in the world
according to Forbes magazine,
signed the lower right portion of
the portrait, From an admirer of
Connor and his work. Warren E.
Buffett.
The family decided to auction
the artwork after Buffett praised
it last year, said Linda Meigs,
Connors mother. The bidding
starts at $10,000 and the auction
will last until 10 tonight. All pro-
ceeds will go toward renovating
the Florence Mill in Omaha.

With the new location of the
Salvation Army comes a change
in the services it provides to the
homeless.
For the past two years the Sal-
vation Army has been fundrais-
ing for the new Salvation Army
location at 19th and Haskell
streets. It is currently at 946
New Hampshire St.
The new site will offer a 24-
hour, 365 days a year homeless
rehabilitative residential pro-
gram. It will still offer its other
services for the general public
such as hosting youth basketball
leagues.
Wesley Dalberg, pastor and
administrator for the Salvation
Army, said the program for the
homeless focused on getting
people out of homelessness.
They will help the homeless get
ready for employment, such as
helping them with interviews
and teaching them life skills,
such as how to bank and keep
a home.
Its no longer about heres a
mat, sleep here, Dalberg said.

Eight golden shovels sunk
into the grassy hill between
the Kansas Union and its park-
ing garage Monday afternoon
as part of the offcial ground
breaking ceremony of the new
Sabatini Multicultural Resource
Center.
The new center will replace
the current facilitys location in
the old Military Science annex.
An increase in programming
and the MRCs larger presence
on campus necessitated the new
building.
The future of the United
States and of Kansas is to em-
brace the diversity we have,
said Dan Sabatini, the son of the
buildings donor and namesake,
Frank Sabatini. This is our fu-
ture and that is our strength.
The Sabitini family donated
$1 million to the center. Dan said
he wanted to thank the students
and the University on behalf of
his family for the opportunity to
be a part of the project.
Construction will begin in the
fall and should be completed by
the following fall. The new facil-
ity will offer updated technology,
more study and lounge areas, as
well as more space for student
organizations to hold programs.
In his opening remarks, Chan-
cellor Robert Hemenway said
the new facility was the result of
a shared vision that would help
students fnd new opportunities
on campus. He gave credit to
the students who voted in 2003
to increase their student fees as
a supplement to the private do-
nation.

Dondi Bowles, 50, was ar-
rested Friday night as he drove
the mower on a sidewalk.
Police said a breath test
showed that Bowles blood al-

It was his third DUI arrest in

Bear killed for entering
bear exclusion zone
TRENTON, N.J. This bear
picked the wrong place to
wander.
A 225-pound bear saunter-
ing near the downtown ofces
of the state Department of
Environmental Protection be-
came the rst killed under the
agencys no-tolerance rules.
DEP biologists euthanized
the bear Saturday after it
had wandered into the state
capital.
Some state wildlife authori-
ties criticized the killing, which
was done because it was in
a bear exclusion zone that
covers large swaths of central
and northeastern New Jersey.
Its a waste of wildlife re-
source and its just bad public-
ity for the state, Len Wolgast,
a member of the state Fish and
Game Council, told The Sun-
day Star-Ledger of Newark.
The exclusion zones were
added to the states bear man-
agement policy last year.
Small Spanish town
throws hook-up party
VILLAFRECHOS, Spain A
small town on the northern
plains of Spain held a large-
scale blind date party to help
its many single men nd
potential mates.
Concerned that the popula-
tion of rural Villafrechos will
dwindle, Mayor Miguel Angel
Gomez threw his support
behind the initiative, inviting
women through an advertis-
ing campaign to gather at the
regional city of Valladolid.
It began as the idea of lo-
cal inn keeper Teresa Canal.
There are too many bachelors
here, we had to try and nd
them brides, she said.
About 100 women showed up
Saturday and were taken by two
busses to Villafrechos, popula-
tion 540, where some 60 men
escorted them to lunch. The men
ranged in age from 24 to 68.
The women were then invited
to see the towns highlights,
including an artisan cheese-mak-
ing facility and a football eld
where some of the men hoped to
impress with their soccer skills.
Tomas Infestas, a 57-year-
old retired carpenter, said
the women were gorgeous.
I want to nd a partner, Im
lonely, he said.
101 Dalmations? How
about 1,000 children
BERLIN A former German
politician living in Paraguay
aims to be declared the legal

children by the end of the year

report.
Juergen Hass told Der
Spiegel magazine in a story
published Saturday he has
already adopted 300 children
from Paraguay, Romania, Hun-
gary, Moldova, Russia, Ukraine
and India.
The former municipal politi-
cian in the pro-business Free
Democratic Party said the chil-
dren can now become German
citizens and take advantage of
the countrys educational op-
portunities, including tuition-
free universities, and generous
welfare system.
According to German law,
any man can be named the
father of a child as long as the
mother agrees and there is no
acknowledged birth father.

Record company sours,
sues over apple logo
LONDON A long and
winding legal road took
another twist for the Beatles
record company Monday,
when a British judge ruled that
Apple Computer Inc. is entitled
to use the apple logo on its
iTunes Music Store.
Apple Corps, the guardian
of the Beatles commercial
interests, contended that the
U.S. companys use of the
logo on its popular online
music store had broken a
1991 agreement in which
each side agreed not to enter
into the others eld of busi-
ness.
But High Court Judge An-
thony Mann disagreed, saying
that the computer companys
logo is used in association
with the store not the music
and so did not breach the
agreement.
Though Apple Computer
CEO Steve Jobs said he was
glad to put this disagree-
ment behind us, the dispute
appears far from over. Neil
Aspinall, the manager of
Apple Corps, said his com-
pany would immediately take
the case to Britains Court of
Appeal.

Golden
continued from page 1a
When she opened the box on
her birthday and saw Zacharias
creation, Amber recalls gasping
out loud at the beauty of what
she saw a silver beetle wrap-
ping itself around a rich gold
amber stone a stone that
seemed to glow on its own.
It was totally stunning, she
said. She soon discovered that it
did glow on its own, courtesy of
an LED battery Zacharias had
cleverly concealed between the
beetle and stone, complete with
a tiny on-off switch.
Zacharias journey to become
an old-fashioned jeweler, who
designs and makes much of
what he sells in his Lawrence
store, began when he immi-
grated with his family from the
old world, Germany, to Kansas
at the age of three. That journey
included a plan to attend medi-
cal school and become a doc-
tor like his father, which ended
when he discovered his aversion
to blood. Plan B was a major in
jewelry at the University of Kan-
sas, where he was swept up in
the anti-war movement and, in
his own words, became a hip-
pie, traveling to San Francisco,
where he opened a jewelry busi-
ness.
When an oil embargo and
high gas prices hit the tourist
industry and his jewelry busi-
ness in California, he headed
back to Kansas where he oper-
ated his successful business and
became a political activist and
outspoken supporter of a clean
and lively downtown Lawrence,
a devoted father and a regu-
lar traveler to Germany where,
perhaps in a bow to his hippie
days, he once urinated on the
Berlin Wall and later brought a
souvenir hunk of it home to his
adopted country.
The Old and New Worlds
Art has been in his family
since his great-grandfather, Karl
Wilhelm DeBryker, who was
the stadtmahler, German for
city painter, in Hamburg. For 20
years, he did all the offcial por-
traits for the city.
Zacharias said his great-
grandfather did what we called
gothic-romantic art and that
was extremely out of favor for
the Nazis. He couldnt sell his
paintings anymore because he-
roic art was in.
The artistic tradition was car-
ried down to Zacharias father.
Although his father loved the
arts, he attended and made his
living as a doctor during World
War II.
After the war, his father
learned that doctors were need-
ed in western Kansas, which
had a population that was about
60 percent ethnic German. It
seemed like a good place to live,
so the family came to Kansas.
They came in 1953 when
Zacharias was three, so he
doesnt remember much of Ger-
many, but recalled the families
living conditions.
We grew up in the remnants
of a burned-out building, he
said. We had the living room.
There were six families living in
a six-room house. Each family
had a different room.
I was born on the living
room couch, which was sad be-
cause they had to throw away
the couch after that, he said,
laughing. So when we had the
chance to come to America and
not live in the ruins anymore, it
was a good idea. Plus we had a
lot of kindred feelings toward
the Americans.
His father did his internship
at St. Francis Hospital in Wich-
ita, where Zacharias attended
elementary school. In 1958, the
family moved to Dodge City,
where Zacharias completed ju-
nior high and high school. He
graduated in 1968 and came to
the University.
He spent summers going back
and forth between Dodge City
and Germany. At the University,
Zacharias was supposed to be-
come a doctor, but he had one
slight problem: blood. Im too
squeamish for it, he said.
Becoming a Jeweler
Zacharias also learned he had
a nervous disorder that made
him black out. His advisor rec-
ommended that he take a jew-
elry class as relaxation therapy,
although he didnt yet see it as
a career. He said, We were al-
ways taught in Dodge that there
was no way you could make a
living at art.
Zacharias began selling crafts
he created, including leather
candles, jewelry and big furry
purses he refers to as Sonny
and Cher purses. Although the
plan was for him to go to medi-
cal school he said it just didnt
ft with the counter-culture atti-
tude of the times or his aversion
to blood.
I decided to go into the
crafts, he said. I always liked
making stuff with my hands
and designing stuff and solving
problems.
Just as he began down that
career path, the days of rage
exploded at the University, and
his career was put on hold.
Students took over buildings,
the Kansas Union was burned
down and he joined anti-Viet-
nam War protests, once getting
clubbed by a policeman, he re-
called.
When the jewelry professor
who served as his mentor left,
he decided to leave too, fnish-
ing the six hours he needed at
the University of Utah. Since the
University gave him credit for
those hours, he earned his KU
degree in jewelry. In Utah, he
met his former wife and worked
for a jewelry company.
I was their Pearl Guy. I
bought pearls, stringed pearls,
graded pearls, found guys to do
diamonds with pearls. Working
with pearls was always consid-
ered a little feminine, but I like
pearls, he said, smiling.
His wife, also an artist, helped
her husband open a business
called Easy Street Gallery in
Salt Lake City.
They moved to the San Fran-
cisco Bay Area in the early
1970s and got into the whole-
sale business. Zacharias created
hand-made jewelry in his shop,
Stars is Nar. Nar is the Ger-
man word for sausages his fam-
ily used to crave when he was
younger. He also made jewelry
for galleries in Sausalito and
Stetson Beach.
Peter did fne until the oil em-
bargo hit, Gas prices skyrock-
eted and the rationing just killed
tourism, he said. Sales within
90 days dropped by 80 percent.
Its like cutting the junkies off
from heroine, cutting off Cali-
fornia from its gasoline. It was
an incredible drop in business.
Back to Kansas
The couple moved to Kansas
and opened a downtown shop
in Topeka. When a suburban
mall opened and put many of
the shops out of business, Zach-
arias opened his frst Lawrence
shop on Eighth Street. He called
it Stars is Nar and later Stars
and Our Jewels.
He moved to his current lo-
cation at 723 Massachusetts St.
in 1982. Zacharias said it was a
dump when he bought it and
later renovated it with a 1880s
style.
The new store was called
Goldmakers after one of the gal-
leries he once supplied in Salt
Lake City, where he began de-
signing unique pieces like the
amber necklace made for Am-
ber.
He takes pride in the fact
that it is not just an amber gem
on a silver chain. He called the
stone museum quality rather
than one mass-produced by a
manufacturer. Amber said that
it was a true fossil because an-
cient insects can still be seen
trapped in translucent gold
resin, including a tiny spider.
Pleasing customers like the
Williams isnt always easy, Zach-
arias said, recalling when he was
in California and making Indian
jewelry for Native Americans
based on their designs.
My frst shipment of Indian
jewelry I delivered to the Indi-
an guy in Sausalito and he said,
Oh, these wont do at all. And
I said, Whats wrong? I did a
wonderful job. And he said,
Yeah, thats the problem. He
went out into the parking lot
and dumped my whole tray
of jewelry into the parking lot
and walked on them. Then he
took the turquoise rings back
up and said, Okay, now they
look like Indian jewelry. They
were just too well executed.
The guy was great though, and
I liked him.
Through all of his locations
and shop names, Zacharias re-
mains the fnicky jeweler.
Im a designer and crafts-
men and I carve wax models,
he said. Originally I did every-
thing, stone cutting, wax model-
ing, siding, but now I have 10
people working for me.
Ardys Ramberg, wax carver
and salesperson, frst worked
for him from 1976 to 1991, and
returned in 1998.
Its really nice when you run
into someone on the street or at
a party and the person fashes a
ring at you, and says, Oh, you
did my ring. Or one time I was
sitting by this woman at a wed-
ding and I recognized her ring
and I said, I know who made
your ring. And she said, I got
it at Goldmakers. I quickly
answered, I know, Ramberg
said.
Zacharias said custom tastes
had turned more conserva-
tive and in the past fve years,
he had done mostly traditional
diamond work. He has always
been interested in art history
and enjoys making art nouveau,
art deco, Italian Renaissance,
Hellenistic Greek and Imperial
Roman pieces. He has a knack
for fnding the particular style
customers want, he said.
Even though he gets fewer
requests these days for custom
pieces, Lawrence is where he
wants to be.
Lawrence is defnitely the
hippest place in the Midwest,
he said. In California, people
are more liberal this is true,
but they are not any more so-
phisticated. I just could never
get ahead there. I would make
money, but to own my own
building, own my own business,
its impossible. Here, at least its
still doable.
Zacharias has also enjoyed
getting involved in Lawrence
politics. He campaigned for
union rights for trash haulers,
argued for preservation of his-
torical downtown buildings and
fought for more landscaping and
trees downtown.
Im at City Hall a lot, he
said. He has complained about
the homeless being downtown,
urinating on his store front
and hanging out on the roof.
He wants a shelter away from
downtown where people have
to sign in so that their progress
can be monitored. He said that
with anonymous shelters where
any homeless person could walk
in unregistered, their life slipped
through the cracks because no
one was monitoring their prob-
lems.
Life Outside of Jewelry
Zacharias and his wife were
divorced 10 years ago, but share
joint custody of their three chil-
dren. Jake, 18, is a senior at Law-
rence Free State High School.
The two older children followed
in their fathers footsteps and
currently attend the University.
Nicholas, 21, is a junior and
Bernadette, 24, and will gradu-
ate in the spring. Although Peter
is close to all three, he said he
has a special relationship with
his daughter.
When she was in elementary
school, Zacharias would take
her out of school each year for a
day to go to art shows or a mu-
seum.
He was so cute about it, she
said, thinking back to how ex-
cited she used to get. We would
go to the Nelson Museum in
Kansas City and look at their
various collections.
Bernadette also has worked
at Goldmakers for eight years,
helping with small repairs, de-
signing and helping the custom-
ers. She had the opportunity to
travel once a year with her fa-
ther to buy jewelry in New York,
Philadelphia and San Francisco.
Like her father, she loves jew-
elry.
Were really close and get
along really well, she said.
These days we work together
more as friends rather than a
father daughter relationship. We
have a strong professional rela-
tionship.
Zacharias now lives with his
girlfriend, an architect who was
introduced to him by his gem-
carving assistant, who is also
her niece.
We hit it off pretty quick,
Zacharias said. Im not get-
ting married again. First time I
barely made it through with my
business. Number one small
business failure is divorce. Shes
a wonderful lady, but I dont
know if I want to be exposed
to that with Americas current
laws.
Zacharias and his girlfriend
live in a Victorian house on
Louisiana Street, only two
blocks from his shop down-
town. He bought it from his one-
time English professor in 1976,
and attended his frst house
party there in college in 1968.
The home is flled with various
paintings and artwork from his
father and great-grandfather as
well as other art collected over
the years.
An old-fashioned jewelry
shop like Goldmakers is un-
usual today. Customers who
wander through the store fnd
Peter busily working or assisting
people at his small desk towards
the back of the shop.
He is usually dressed in cor-
duroy pants (never jeans), pat-
terned shirts, a navy blue apron,
leather shoes and juggling three
different pairs of glasses with
various focal points.
Depending on what hes
working on, a magnifying glass
is used to ensure details are
done correctly.
He is still able to do all the
things he loves, including visit-
ing Germany every few years.
One visit was to the Berlin Wall
shortly after it came down.
I have my own chunk of
the wall at home and of course
whizzed on it at the time, and it
felt great, he said.
He never forgets where he
came from and continues to fo-
cus on creating precious art ob-
jects for the public eye, just as
his father and great-grandfather
did in Germany.
It is what makes long time
customers like the Williams
keep coming back. Although
they now live in Los Angeles,
they return to Lawrence and
Goldmakers to fnd specifc
jewelry.
Ill see some earrings that
I like, but then I think, No,
Ill wait to go to Peters shop,
Amber said. He is a rare breed
now.

Kansan staff writer
Phill Kline said he frmly believed
in the principle of self-responsibility
in lawsuits Monday night, claiming
that many are wrongfully won today.
Kline, the Kansas attorney gener-
al, said in a speech at the Robert J.
Dole Institute of Politics that when
he was in law school at the Uni-
versity of Kansas, he learned that
a successful suit had to prove the
defendant had the ability to cause
harm, actually did cause harm, and
the damages caused could be de-
fined monetarily.
Of those three pillars of juris pru-
dence, he said none of them have
to be proven today in order to win
a case.
He said the current problem was
that courts, the media and citizens all
relied on the concept of fairness,
rather than the law, and fairness could
be different for each person. He said
that the Constitution was fair and the
law it established should be followed,
rather than the morals of individual
judges.
He said that as a result people could
pick and choose where they would
bring a lawsuit and fnd a judge
with similar beliefs.
Kline said he didnt believe it was
right for the government to sue on be-
half of individuals and keep the mon-
ey for itself.
For example, the government sued
tobacco companies, but the cancer
victims didnt receive the damages
because they were dead. The govern-
ment kept the money.
During his time as attorney general,
Kline said he was careful not to use
press release litigation to scare com-
panies into settling so their stock val-
ues were not affected by accusations
that might be true.
When corporate America vio-
lates the law, Im in their face, he
said.
He said he sued an oil conglom-
erate for intentionally overestimat-
ing its oil reserves to raise the value
of its stock, which hurt the stock-
holders.
If he had told the public he was
investigating before he was sure the
company had done wrong, he would
have hurt the stockholders anyway
because the companys credibil-
ity would have been hurt no matter
what.
He said he tried to protect the
elderly, trusting people of Kansas
from scams and tried to keep the
state from overregulating profes-
sions.
He said the government should
provide more opportunities for a self-
made man to start his own business
without so much hassle and money
that its nearly impossible.
Lennea Carty, Andover junior,
reacted to his speech by saying she
thought he was misrepresenting his
work in offce.
Theres so much he twisted, she
said. He didnt put things into realis-
tic economic perspective.
She said he made it sound like he
was protecting the poor, but in reality
he was favoring the rich and hurting
the small towns in Kansas with his ac-
tions.
She said when she drives through
Kansas, is seems each small town has
a Wal-Mart now, which she said has
destroyed the local businesses that
Kline talked about protecting in his
speech.

Student will pay the remaining costs of the
project, which is budgeted at $2.78 million.
They voted with both their feet and
their minds to make this building a real-
ity, Hemenway said.
Melva Landrum, Minneapolis, Minn.,
senior and senior student coordinator for
the Multicultural Resource Center, said
the new building would give the center
the space it needed. She said more orga-
nizations would be able to use the center
with fewer scheduling conficts.
It shows that the University is com-
mitted to diversity and multiculturalism,
Landrum said.
Landrum said that having the center
connected to the Kansas Union would
allow more students to walk in and learn
about the center. She said the center was
open to all students, not just ones of col-
or, and that it was benefcial for students
to be exposed to other people and differ-

Homeless
The program has switched to moving
people out of homeless and becoming
housed and permanently housed.
Even though the Salvation Army is
moving away from downtown, Dalberg
doesnt think this will
be a problem.
The program
were going to oper-
ate is different than it
is now, he said. The
people in the program
will not be the people
in downtown cur-
rently. It wont nec-
essarily be the single
men hanging around
downtown.
For the rehabilita-
tive program, Den-
nis Stine, a homeless
man, said he would have to see it frst
before he could believe it.
We need to be taught math, Internet
skills, learn how to read, he said. Even
if you want to work at a pizza shop, you
need to know computer skills these days.
They need to pick up where some of
these people left off, which could be ages
13 or 14.
But some of the homeless are unhappy
about it moving away from downtown.
Downtown is the hub for where its
at for the homeless, said Guitar Dave,
who wishes to keep his last name anony-
mous. He said places like Jubilee Caf,
the drop-in center and LINK were all a
part of the downtown area.
Jubilee Caf serves breakfast for the
homeless at the First United Methodist
Church, 946 Vermont St., twice a week.
LINK, Lawrence Interdenominational
Nutrition Kitchen, is open every Tues-
day, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday for
lunch. It is located in the basement of
First Christian Church, 1000 Kentucky
St. The Community Drop-In Center is at
214 10th St.
Paul Shipley, co-coordinator of the
Center for Community Outreach and
Olathe junior, said there was a possibility
that numbers would go down, but he said
moving the Salvation Army was a good
idea especially since its ridiculously
small for a town like Lawrence. Shipley
could see transportation problems for
the homeless to make it to Jubilee Caf
every Tuesday and Friday mornings at 7
a.m. He said they currently served a lot of
homeless people in the mornings.
But Dalberg said that a homeless per-
son would have no need to come out to
the Salvation Army unless he or she was
in the program.
The Salvation Army will not be de-
signed to house someone for only one
night. He said things were going to be
completely different.
Because of limited space at the cor-
ner where its currently located creates a
problem for extending it though, which
is one of the reasons the Salvation Army
wants to move.
Theres just not enough space for all
the programs we offer and want to offer,
Dalberg said.
Guitar Dave and Stine both agreed
there needs to be space for the homeless
families.
Women and children have no busi-
ness being out on the streets, Stine said.
They should be taken care of no mat-
ter what. Most of them do not become
homeless because of something they did.
Guys like us are typically responsible for
why we have become homeless.
Taking care of families is one of the fo-
cuses for the new site.
Theres a huge gap in services to
homeless families and no one is doing
anything for them so we hope to fll that
void because right now they have no
place to go, Dalberg said.

Connor
The Florence Mill is a his-
torical site that was built in
1846 and has now been trans-
formed into a non-profit art
gallery that houses Connors
work.
The site needs $250,000 to
complete its renovation.
The Florence Mill now fea-
tures more than 50 pieces of
artwork from Connor and will
present an exhibition of his
work during the summer.
The KU hockey club team
traveled to the mill after a game
against the University of Ne-
braska this year. The team vis-
ited on Feb. 25; coincidentally
that would have been Connors
21st birthday.
Mark Quinn knew Connor
for six years before they were
teammates on the hockey team.
Quinn, Omaha sophomore, said
Connor was a friend who was
dedicated to hockey, family and
his artwork.
The family has also created
the Connor Meigs Award, which
will be given annually to an out-
standing recent art student grad-
uate. The recipient will have a
solo exhibit in the mill, and the
frst scheduled exhibit will take
place in May 2007. If they are
not successful in receiving bids
for the autographed drawing,
the family plans to have the
artwork remain with the fam-
ily. The outcome of the auction
will not bother the family, Linda
Meigs said.
If a pretzel in the shape of
Madonna can go for $10,000,
then this picture should have
some permanent value, she
said. This auction is a col-
laboration of angels between
Connor, wherever he is, and Mr.
Buffett, who is right down the
street.

The AssociATed Press
NEW YORK Secretary of
State Condoleezza Rice said
Monday that Americans want
to see progress in Iraq, but
that President Bush will not
be swayed by domestic politics
when deciding how long U.S.
forces should stay.
I think the president will
do what he thinks is best, re-
gardless of public opinion or
the fall elections, Rice said in
an interview with The Associ-
ated Press.
Bush is at his lowest point in
the polls, with only one-third of
Americans saying they approve
of the way he is handling the
job, and the three-year-old Iraq
war is a major reason for his de-
cline.
Republicans are expected to
suffer in congressional elections
in November in part because of
an erosion of support for the
notion that the presidents po-
litical party is best equipped to
handle the fght against terror-
ism and other foreign policy
matters.
This is an extraordinary
time, Rice said. It means tak-
ing diffcult decisions and doing
whats right because youre not
doing it for the midterm elec-
tions.
Youre doing it for the stand-
ing of the United States and the
ability of the United States to in-
fuence well into the future and
the future of the Middle East,
Rice said.
The Bush administration sees
a stable democracy in Iraq as the
linchpin to spread political free-
dom elsewhere in the region.
Continued insurgent and
sectarian violence more than
three years after the U.S.-led
invasion have dimmed some of
Iraqs political gains, but Rice
said newly selected leaders un-
derstand the consequence of
failure.
They literally will hang sepa-
rately or hang together. Literal-
ly, Rice said. There is no stron-
ger incentive to get it right.
Violence killed at least 34
people including a U.S. soldier
in Iraq on Monday, as efforts to
fnish choosing the new Cabinet
bogged down in a web of con-
ficting interests.
Bush has been straightfor-
ward with the public that were
going to have to be in this war for
awhile, Rice said of the struggle
against terrorism in Iraq, Af-
ghanistan and elsewhere.
I think Americans just want
to know that progress is being
made, and I know that its hard
sometimes when Americans
see whats on their television
screens, Rice said.
The top U.S. diplomat offered
no updated timetable for U.S.
force withdrawals below the
current level of about 130,000,
although other U.S. offcials
have said they expect some re-
duction this year.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. Con-
victed Sept. 11 conspirator Za-
carias Moussaoui says he lied
on the witness stand about be-
ing involved in the terrorist plot
and wants to withdraw his guilty
plea and go to trial. The judge
turned him down.
Moussaoui said he was ex-
tremely surprised that he was
sentenced to life in prison in-
stead of execution and now be-
lieves he can get a fair trial from
an American jury.
In a motion fled Monday,
Moussaoui said he testifed on
March 27 that he was supposed
to hijack a ffth plane on Sept.
11, 2001, and fy it into the
White House even though I
knew that was a complete fab-
rication.
A federal court jury spared
the 37-year-old French-
man the death penalty last
Wednesday.
On Thursday, U.S. District
Judge Leonie Brinkema gave
him six life sentences, to run as
two consecutive life terms, in
the federal supermax prison at
Florence, Colo.
As she handed down the
sentence, Brinkema told
Moussaoui that he could ap-
peal the life term but that she
doubted he would win. I be-
lieve it would an act of futility,
she said.
The judge also pointed out
that, although he could appeal
the sentence, he had lost his right
to appeal his conviction when he
pled guilty in April 2005. You
waived that right, she said.
On Monday, Brinkema said
his request to set aside his guilty
plea and go back to trial on the
facts of the case was too late
under federal rules and must be
rejected.
Explaining his latest rever-
sal, Moussaoui said in an af-
fdavit:
I had thought I would be
sentenced to death based on
the emotions and anger to-
ward me for the deaths on
Sept. 11. But after reviewing
the jury verdict and reading
how the jurors set aside their
emotions and disgust for me
and focused on the law and
the evidence ... I now see that
it is possible that I can receive
a fair trial even with Ameri-
cans as jurors.
The defense lawyers were not
immediately available for com-
ment Monday. Brinkema said
they would be replaced after
they fled any appeal Moussaoui
might want.
The motion said Moussaoui
told his lawyers Friday that he
wanted to withdraw his guilty
plea because when he entered
it his understanding of the
American legal system was com-
pletely fawed.
t world
Moussaoui says
he lied about plot
I
now see that it is
possible that I can
receive a fair trial even
with Americans as
jurors.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH
Your even approach puts you way ahead
of a situation or hassle. Others appreciate
the stable yet kind perspective you add to
different events. You cannot always have
things as you would like. Let go and let
others be.
Tonight: Sort through different options.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH
Your imagination travels. If funneled prop-
erly, you will see a change in rhythm and
what goes on. A solid approach with others
issues in mind will bring positive results. Go
with the fow rather than fght the trends.
Tonight: Easy does it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH
Though you might not realize it, you have
a solid and somewhat serious attitude that
causes some of the people around you to
sit back and listen. Your creativity touches
many in different ways. Realize your impact,
and use this gift appropriately.
Tonight: Play away.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH
Investigate different ways of handling a per-
sonal matter or investment. You might not
want to constantly be putting money into a
property. Be careful with your choices right
now. It will make a difference ultimately.
Tonight: Anchor away.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH
Recognize that you come off far more seri-
ously than in the past. Others might react
rather strongly to you. Recognize what is
happening right now with others. Extremes
fnd you, whether it is in conversation, plans
or feelings.
Tonight: As you like it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH
Your instincts could be off about fnancial
choices. You might want to indulge some-
one and let this person know how you feel.
Extremes punctuate your decisions and
moods. Try walking a conservative course.
Tonight: Gather your bills.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH
A friend is absolutely serious about what he
or she needs. Dont push yourself, but kick
back and enjoy someone elses frivolous
mood and behavior. You might be delighted
by what comes down your path.
Tonight: As you like.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH
Many responsibilities drop on you. Carefully
listen to someone who can impact your life
and decisions. Think carefully before you
take a leap of faith. Someone does care
about you.
Tonight: You need some downtime.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH
You fourish among people and friends.
Consider your options and break away
from your predetermined path or direction.
Opting to get more information and do
something differently could make a big
difference.
Tonight: Where the crowds are.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH
You might want to take the lead and handle
a key situation or issue. Enlist a somewhat
dour individual in a project. He or she will
loosen up before you know it. You have a
ball wherever you are.
Tonight: A must appearance.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH
Think outside the box, and you will succeed.
Someone might be luring you into doing
more of what he or she wants, while some-
one else is very somber. Both offer different
perspectives. Do a better job of listening.
Tonight: Break past the barrier.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH
Deal with someone directly. Though you
could be tired and dragged down, you break
the mold and head in a new direction. You
might not be able to resist that special
purchase. Do you really need to?
Tonight: Be with your best friend.

TUESDAY, MAY 9, 2006
I started to realize it when my
history professor, after nding out
that I was in a fraternity, asked
me if I happened to know how
many gallons were in a pony keg.
It became even more clear during
Student Senate elections when
several people in my political
science class described the Ignite
coalition as simply an organiza-
tion thrown together by all the
greek kids so that they could get a
party bus to drive them between
the bars on the weekend. Ive
heard all the nicknames for every
house on campus and every joke
imaginable about fratters and so-
rority girls. But what I rarely hear
is praise and admiration for the
many accomplishments of those
within fraternities and sororities.
The fact is, the greek community
is stereotyped as a bunch of idiotic
alcoholics, and it is an image that
does not reect the truth of greek
life.
The Interfraternal Council (IFC)
and the Panhellenic Association
(PHA) hosted their annual awards
ceremony on April 30. That night, a
variety of fraternities and sororities
were recognized for their scholar-
ship, service to the community
and overall chapter excellence. It
is one of the few nights that the
greek community actually receives
praise for its work, especially those
involved in the IFC and Panhel-
lenic Association.
While they are a highly
involved and integral part of the
University, the IFC and PHA
often go unnoticed for the vast
amounts of work that they do.
One of their major accomplish-
ments has been Project SAFE-
watch. The group has worked
with the provosts ofce, Law-
rence-Douglas County Fire and
Medical, Watkins Health Center
and the KU Public Safety Ofce
to help increase safety awareness
in the community. This year, the
group got about 100 members of
the greek community certied in
CPR training and also provided a
re safety course.
The IFC and PHA also head
up the Check Yourself Before
You Wreck Yourself campaign,
which teaches greek students
about the dangers of alcohol and
the precautions that should be
taken with it. According to IFC
president Scott Ferguson, IFC is
going to try to open up the pro-
gram to all KU students in the fall.
These are only a few of the
many things these organizations
accomplish, and they are not the
only greek students involved in
the community. Every year, the
philanthropies put on by each
chapter raise thousands of dol-
lars for both local and national
charitable organizations. All of
the philanthropies also support
The House That Greeks Built
program, which is a derivative of
Habitat for Humanity and has
already built three houses for
underprivileged families in the
Lawrence community. Thousands
upon thousands of hours are in-
vested in community service, and
many members are involved in a
variety of different organizations
at the University.
What people seem to forget is
that the original purpose of greek
life was to take young college
students and help shape them into
respected and involved members
of society. The greek community
stresses scholarship, leadership,
brotherhood/sisterhood and
service as core values that each
member should strive for. Yet, for
some reason, a few isolated in-
stances of binge drinking at differ-
ent universities around the country
have created a negative, stereotypi-
cal image of the community as a
whole. I for one am proud to be a
member of KUs greek community
because I feel that it is one of the
best in the country and contributes
so much to campus and the local
community. I just wish that those
who feel the need to reinforce the
negative stereotypes of the greeks
would come to realize just how
much more we really are and
would be kind enough to respect
us for it.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
JACOB WITTLER
opinion@kansan.com
Its that time of year again
time for late night cramming and
pizza eating. Finals are creeping
up and, unfortunately, most people
hold off on the studying until the
night before an exam. This calls
for an overload of caffeine, junk
food and headaches. There has got
to be a better way. Its too late to
change your old habits of skipping
class and text messaging the whole
time when you do attend, but
you can still prepare to be more
healthy for nals.
Organization is key to doing
anything successful. According
to mind-tools.com, performance
planning works wonders to
reduce stress. You can plan ahead
and make a checklist of things to
remember for nals. You can also
stock up on healthy snacks to in-
crease alertness. Stufng pizza in
your face at 3 a.m. isnt going to
make you feel better the next day.
If anything, it will make you tired
from all the unnecessary calories.
Eating snacks such as al-
monds, an apple with peanut
butter or a turkey sandwich with
avocado will satisfy your hunger
without making you want to fall
asleep. Almonds, peanut butter
and avocados all have healthy
fats that will give you the brain
food you need to concentrate and
study efciently.
Drinking lots of water also
helps. Water hydrates you, helps
your complexion and keeps you
more alert. By the time youre
thirsty, youre already dehydrated.
So, drink water instead of sugary
drinks like pop, avored drinks or
coffee. They will only make you
jittery and unable to concentrate.
Many people think they need
caffeine to stay alert, but most of
the time a change of pace will do
the trick. Incorporate some type
of exercise to increase your alert-
ness. Do some push ups, sit ups,
jump rope or just make up some
type of exercise. This increases
your serotonin levels, which puts
you in a better mood. Its also
good to get up from studying and
stretch your muscles. Another
thing that will help you study is
planning a break and actually
working out.
Relaxation also plays a signi-
cant role in reducing stress. Take
a deep breath randomly while
you are studying to get oxygen
to your brain. Even better, take a
yoga class. There is no better way
to achieve a mind-body connec-
tion than yoga. Yoga classes are
extremely popular at the rec cen-
ter and are no longer only female
dominated. There is a surprising
number of men that have realized
the positive effects of yoga. So,
whether youre a guy or a girl, a
yoga class is the perfect solution
to relaxation before a tough week
of nals. Drink plenty of water,
eat healthy snacks and exercise,
and your cramming sessions will
be much more enjoyable.

Tolerant discussion
needed in debate
After spending four years on a
campus that I happen to love, I
have suffered through countless
op-ed columns from students here
that are just irritating. I person-
ally am a conservative, which
obviously puts me in the minority
at the University, and that isnt
something that I have a problem
with because I honestly dont care
how anybody else sees that or
even what anyone else personally
thinks. I guess Im somewhat apa-
thetic that way. That doesnt seem
to be a typical view, however, and
99 percent of the time it makes
it impossible to have a rational
political discussion in college
without getting sweeping gener-
alizations about either side that
make it impossible to go anywhere
productive.
A case in point would be a
guest column in The University
Daily Kansan about the anti-abor-
tion movement. I am anti-abortion
because of my own beliefs, and
I dont force that on anyone. If
you want to know what I believe,
then ask me because Im not going
to be parading it around. I was
surprised to nd out that Im a
hypocrite because of that, and also
to know that the entire anti-abor-
tion movement is based around
re-bombing abortion clinics and
shooting doctors who practice
abortion. There are people in every
area of life that are crazy, and it
doesnt take much looking to nd
them. I dont think that even a
tiny fraction of real anti-abortion
supporters condone these tactics.
It is ridiculous to think that be-
cause some people in the move-
ment somehow think killing will
solve the problem, it is all right
to generalize that everyone else
somehow allows it. I would never
allow that to happen if it was in
my power to stop it, but I suppose
that just puts me in the minority.
Thats no different from saying that
every Christian is a bigot because
they are allowing Fred Phelps
to operate and spread his absurd
beliefs.
Every day we hear tolerance
and we need to be tolerant of
other peoples views. It seems
to me that its not too tolerant to
equate an entire group with the
acts of a radical few. Many of us
here have entirely different belief
systems and backgrounds, and its
stupid to bash on any of them or
make unnecessary generalizations.
It benets no one and just makes
everything more contentious.
Abortion is not an issue that has a
middle ground, and that tends to
make any argument or discussion
about it devolve into name-calling
and posturing, no matter what the
original intentions were.
It would be nice to not be
labeled an ignorant hypocrite be-
cause of what I believe. I like to
think that Im not too backwards
in my ways and it just bothers me
that there seems to be license to
label people as a whole like that,
which is ignorant itself. Now,
Ive got to get back to that memo
to the rest of the anti-abortioners
out there, the body of which is:
I think we forgot that we arent
supposed to kill abortion rights
supporters. Somebody might
want to get on that and stop al-
lowing it to happen.

As walking down the hill
looms in the not too distant
future, there will be two types of
recent college graduates: Those
who will be taking their parents
couch for their new apartment,
and those who will be laying on
that couch until their parents
make them nd a job.
Graduation can be one of the
most humbling times in ones life
for either type of person. When
else will you go from a comfort-
able environment lled with
friends, contacts and activities
to an unknown future lled with
doubt? Then add the job search,
where the last four years or
ve for some of your life are
written out on a single piece
of paper that allows strangers
to judge whether they want to
speak with you.
Those who havent secured
some sort of employment should
take heart and remember that if
that moron from your English
class can get a job, so can you.
Just follow a few basics. First,
treat a job search like it is one,
because a lot of time and effort
are involved in just putting your
name out there. Second, use
whatever contacts you have
because that is the most effective
way to get your foot in the door.
Third, be patient. Often times it
takes employers many days or
weeks to get back to applicants.
Dont forget, however, to follow
up and be persistent in showing
interest. Oh, and in an interview,
when they ask you, Tell me
about yourself, dont tell them
your life story. All they want is
information that pertains to your
qualications and experience.
For the KU population that is
not graduating, thinking about
jobs after college is always a good
idea. There are so many ways
to make yourself appealing to
employers right now by getting in-
volved in activities that pertain to
what you want to do later on. To
be honest, classes arent enough
when it comes to preparing for
the real world. Any graduate can
tell you there exists something of
a difference between what you are
taught and what you actually do
at your job. Obviously, nothing
can substitute for formal instruc-
tion, but a healthy dose of reality
and hands-on experience doesnt
hurt.
No matter who you are or
what situation you nd yourself
in after May 21, do not forget to
believe in yourself, because thats
all you have.

WASHINGTON Presi-
dent Bushs nomination of
Gen. Michael Hayden as CIA
chief ignited a confrmation
fght Monday over the intel-
ligence veterans ties to the
controversial eavesdropping
program and his ability to be
independent from the military
establishment.
With Hayden
at his side, Bush
urged senators
to promptly ap-
prove the for-
mer National
Security Agen-
cy head, who
one year ago
was confrmed
unanimously to
be the nations
frst deputy di-
rector of nation-
al intelligence.
Mike Hayden is supremely
qualifed for this position, Bush
said in the Oval Offce. He
knows the intelligence commu-
nity from the ground up.
CIA Director Porter Goss
announced his resignation last
week after tussling with Hayden
and his boss, National Intelli-
gence Director John Negropon-
te, about the agencys autonomy
and direction.
Even before Haydens nomi-
nation became offcial, Repub-
lican as well as Democratic
lawmakers had begun ques-
tioning whether he was the
right choice to head the spy
agency.
Senate Intelligence Chairman
Pat Roberts, R-Kan., stopped
short of endorsing Hayden:
While I am not opposed to his
nomination, senators includ-
ing myself will have impor-
tant questions, which they will
want addressed.
Hayden is credited with de-
signing the NSAs warrantless
surveillance program. Disclo-
sure of the program late last year
sparked an intense civil-liberties
debate over whether the presi-
dent can order the monitoring
of international calls and e-
mails in the U.S. without court
warrants.
California Rep. Jane Harman,
the House Intelligence Commit-
tees top Democrat, joined col-
leagues in saying Hayden had
become part the
White House
spin machine
though intel-
ligence profes-
sionals typically
eschew partisan
politics.
Senate Judi-
ciary Chairman
Arlen Specter,
R-Pa., has said
that he would
use a Hayden
nomination to
raise questions about the legal-
ity of the eavesdropping pro-
gram, and he has not ruled out
holding up the nomination in
the meantime.
Several Republicans, includ-
ing House Intelligence Chair-
man Peter Hoekstra, R-Mich.,
and Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-
Ga., have called Haydens mili-
tary background troublesome in
this case.
Hayden, 61, would be the sev-
enth military offcer to head the
CIA since 1946. But his nomi-
nation comes at a time when
lawmakers are particularly con-
cerned about the infuence of
Defense Secretary Donald H.
Rumsfeld.
Seeking to ease concerns
about military leadership at the
CIA, Negroponte said a retired
veteran of the agencys clandes-
tine service, Steve Kappes, was a
leading contender to replace the
CIAs current deputy director,
Vice Adm. Albert Calland III.

NEW YORK On the last
day of a weeklong endurance
challenge inside an aquarium,
David Blaine faced one fnal
feat: holding his breath for
nearly 9 minutes while freeing
himself from heavy chains and
handcuffs.
He is pushing his body in-
sanely to the limits, said Dr.
Murat Gunel, who headed
Blaines medical team.
Gunel, an associate profes-
sor of neurosurgery at Yale
University School of Medi-
cine, and other medical ex-
perts, had monitored the
33-year-old illusionists con-
dition 24 hours a day.
Large crowds gathered all
day Monday for a closer look at
Blaine, who was submerged in
an 8-foot snow globe-like tank
on the plaza of Lincoln Center
for the Performing Arts. He used
an oxygen tube to breathe, and
was fed and relieved himself by
tubes.
Gunel said the challenge had
caused liver damage, sharp pains
in Blaines feet and hands, some
loss of sensation and rashes all
over his body.
Blaine planned to put on
chains and handcuffs, remove
his oxygen tube and then es-
cape while holding his breath
longer than the record of 8
minutes, 58 seconds. The fna-
le was to air live in a two-hour
ABC special, David Blaine:
Drowned Alive, on Monday
night.
Kirk Crack, the magicians
trainer and diving expert, said if
there were any signs that Blaine
was becoming unconscious,
divers would immediately jump
into the tank, free him from the
chains and bring him to the sur-
face.
Blaine started training in De-
cember, with some help from
Navy SEALS. He lost 50 pounds
so his body would require less
oxygen.
As early as the second day of
his challenge, Gunel said, there
was evidence that Blaine was
suffering liver failure; the medi-
cal team consulted with medical
experts at NASA before stabiliz-
ing his condition.
Blaines underwater en-
vironment is similar to the
weightlessness experienced by
astronauts in outer space, he
said.
I told him he needed to get
out of the water, and he refused
me, said Gunel. He said he
did not want to let the people
down.
Blaine refuses to surface
Bebeto Matthews/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Magician David Blaine, 33, left, submerged in an 8-foot acrylic sphere flled with water, presses his fngers against the sphere simultaneously with those of a
well-wisher at Lincoln Center in New York on Monday. Blaine, wearing a diving helmet, has spent almost a week in an aquarium shirtless and plans to end the
stunt tonight by holding his breath under water longer than 8 minutes, 58 seconds.
CIA chief nominee
attracts concern
W
hile I am not
opposed to
his nomination, sena-
tors including myself
will have important
questions which they will
want addressed.

In sports theres always next
year to look forward to, but this
next year will be different for
Kansas, more pivotal than most
next years that have come
before. Especially for the mens
basketball and football teams.
Most Kansas mens basketball
fans are hoping the 2006-2007
season will bring a third national
championship. They point to next
year because all the best players
are returning, and because once
its over, nothing will be certain.
The basketball team is full of
expectations. It is also full of
potential NBA draft picks. Two
years from now, can anyone be
sure which players will return?
Or, in the event of another
early tournament exit, can
anyone be sure Bill Self will be
back? Hes received a free pass
for the disappointment that
came during the past two years,
because the players either
werent his or were too young.
Next year there will be no
excuses. All the fngers of praise
or blame will be pointed directly
at Self. Its a good thing espe-
cially for Self that the team
probably will be ranked in the
top 5 in the preseason polls, and
will have a great chance to make
a deep NCAA tournament run.
But the pressure is still there.
As for the football team, its
coming off its best season in 10
years. Many of its stars, however,
will not be returning, leaving fans
without a clue of how the team
will perform. The football team
would not be as devastated by a
bad season as the basketball team
would be. Kansas football fans
know how to deal with mediocrity.
However, another winning record
could mean great strides for the
football team as well as the entire
Athletics Department.
Its no secret that football is
a moneymaker, and last year
a successful 7-5 team led to
record-breaking attendance in
Memorial Stadium. An even
more successful season eight
victories and a trip to the Ala-
mo Bowl, for example would
generate such excitement that
seeing home games consistently
sell out wouldnt be surprising.
More tickets sold would mean
more money for the rest of the
Athletics Department, which
would mean better facilities and
better recruiting for all Kansas
teams. A losing season without a
bowl game would slow down the
momentum the football team has
gained during the past three years,
making more money a less likely
scenario.
So many possibilities, and no
one knows how next year will turn
out. I guess well wait and see.

The womens basketball team will be down a
member next season. Freshman forward Sophro-
nia Sallard announced that she would transfer to
another school.
A release from the Athletics Department on
Friday said she was leaving
for personal reasons. Sallard
missed the fnal games of the
season with an unspecifed
medical condition.
The Syracuse, N.Y., native
came to Kansas rated 25th in the
country by the Blue Star recruit-
ing service, in addition to being
rated the 15th best wing player
by the Adidas Top 10 all-star
girls report.
She struggled for playing time early in the
season, but worked her way into the lineup,
earning a starting spot in the game against Mis-
souri.
She is listed as a forward, but played as a guard,
too, and created match-up problems for oppo-
nents with her height, at 5 feet 10 inches. She has
not yet decided on a school to transfer to.
When she was recruited, she chose Kansas over
Kentucky, Syracuse, UAB and Virginia.

Last month, students voted for a
resolution that will help build the
rowing team a new boathouse. But
what most students may not have
realized was that plans for the boat-
house barely exist.
There is no timetable set for
c o n s t r u c -
tion to be-
gin. An ar-
chitect has
not been ap-
proved, and
a construc-
tion com-
pany has yet
to be hired.
The Athlet-
ics Depart-
ment said
the students
have funded
40 percent
of the bill,
but a specif-
ic source for
the remain-
ing costs
have not
been deter-
mined.
The row-
ing team cur-
rently stores
its boats at
ci ty-owned
B u r c h a m
Park at Second and Indiana streets,
near the Kansas River, in a fenced-in
area called The Cage. But the city
hasnt agreed to let the University
build a facility there.
Kansas is one of two Division I
schools with a rowing team that
does not have a boathouse for its
rowing team or is in the process of
building one.
With the students approving the
$20 womens and non-revenue fee
increase, $15 of which goes for the
boathouse, in last months elections,
the rowing team fnally has plans for
a boathouse. Its an improvement
that Kansas coach Rob Catloth has
been asking for since the program
became a NCAA Division I varsity
sport in 1995.
But is it the students responsibility to
pay for the rowing teams boathouse?
Some say no.
Ian Staples, the legislative direc-
tor of student senate, said he thought
the athletic department could afford
to pay for the boathouse without the
students; support.
Through the spirit of Title IX,
through the spirit of womens and
non-revenue sports, it would be
more appropriate to fund it through
the athletic department, the Law-
rence junior said. The athletic cor-
poration has the resources. Theyre
able to do it themselves. They are
not in the red here.
The Department of Education re-
ported that the Athletics Department
had $10 million in proft last school
year. Only the University of Texas
had more profts in the Big 12.
The Indianapolis Star reported
that the department was the third
most proftable in the country.
Marchiony said it was fair to ask
the students to support womens
and non-revenue sports fnancially.

Editors note: Big 12 base-
ball reporter Shawn Shroyer
writes a story every Tuesday
about the previous weeks Big
12 baseball action.
The Jayhawks are coming off
their worst weekend of the sea-
son. Kansas was swept for the
frst time all season by No. 4
Texas and run-ruled after eight
innings in the series fnale.
The series loss was Kansas
second in a row.
The team hadnt lost consecu-
tive weekend series since begin-
ning Big 12 play against Baylor
and Nebraska.
The Jayhawks also fell to the
bottom half of the Big 12 stand-
ings and are now in seventh
place.
If there was a silver lin-
ing from the weekend, it was
sophomore Brock Simpson and
seniors Ritchie Price and Jared
Schweitzer.
All three recorded hits in each
game of the series. The three
combined for 13 of the teams 24
total hits, scored four runs and
had fve RBI.
Junior left-hander Sean Land
appeared refocused coming
in as a reliever Saturday and
struck out the frst four batters
he faced.
Kansas will look to get back
on track with a midweek game at
Missouri State on Wednesday.
The Jayhawks will be the
hosts for the Jayhawk Classic
next weekend. Kansas will play
Bradley on Friday and Northern
Colorado on Saturday and Sun-
day.
Kansas will try to climb
back up the conference stand-
ings in its final series of the
season and couldnt ask for a
better chance to do so, facing
last-place Texas A&M, March
19-21.
The Big 12 Tournament will
take place the following week,
March 24-28.

Boathouse
If the students had said no,
you wouldnt have heard any
kind of clamor from athletics,
Marchiony said.
The students did not say no.
Referendum No. 2, the $20 in-
creased fee for womens and
non-revenue sports, $15 of
which goes toward the row-
ing facility, received more votes
5,316 than any other refer-
endum on the ballot.
Out of the $20 increase that
will take effect next semester
increasing the non-revenue and
womens sports fee to $40 $15
will go to the boathouse fund for
the next three years. Marchiony
estimated the costs of building
the boathouse should be between
$4 to $6 million. The students will
pay approximately 40 percent of
that cost. Donations will cover
the other 60 percent. Marchiony
said the Athletics Department
had yet to fnd a donor.
Most athletic facilities on
campus, such as the new foot-
ball facility that will be built
next to Memorial stadium, are
paid for entirely through dona-
tions.
However, with a small alumni
base in rowing, Associate Athlet-
ics Director Jim Marchiony said
it was diffcult to fnd a donor.
At Kansas State, the ath-
letic department raised funds
through a Boathouse campaign
for a $1.3 million rowing facility,
according to the Kansas State
athletics Web site.
The student fee for athletics at
Kansas is one of the only fees that
does not have a student advisory
board to determine what will be
done with the money. Instead,
with athletics, the $40 goes straight
to the Athletics Department.
To ensure that the money
would go to the construction of
the boathouse and womens and
non-revenue sports, Student
Senate asked Athletics Direc-
tor Lew Perkins to guarantee in
writing that the money would
not go elsewhere.
If construction of the boathouse
does not begin in the next three
years, Perkins agreed to return all
of the money back to the students.
The increase came as a result
of a study that was conducted
by the Campus Fee Review Sub-
committee of Student Senate.
The group evaluates every stu-
dent fee once every three years.
This is something that isnt
going to Bill Selfs salary, stu-
dent senator Cory Kelly said.
We were guaranteed that none
of it would go to football or bas-
ketball through moving funds
around.
Marchiony said the Athletics
Department began meeting in
February or March with various
senate groups expressing a need
for the boathouse.
Student Senate never voted
on the fee increase to fund the
boathouse.
Senate really doesnt like
voting on student fee increases
in senate, Kelly said. Wed
rather have students vote on it.
Kelly, West Des Moines, Iowa
freshman, and fellow student
senator Jack Connor began col-
lecting signatures for a refer-
endum of the $20 fee increase,
including the $15 for the boat-
house, to go on the April ballot.
For a referendum to be voted
on by students, 1,000 signatures
must be collected or student
senate can vote to put it on the
ballot with a two-thirds vote.
The referendum got 2,000 sig-
natures.
Marchiony said there was no
timetable set for the construction
to begin of the boathouse. First,
the Athletics Department must
fnd a donor or donors to pay for
the other 60 percent of the costs.
Then, they must meet with archi-
tects and the city to determine
what they can build and where.
Whether the students should
pay for the boathouse or the ath-
letics department should foot the
bill is now up to the provost and
the Board of Regents, who still
have to approve the referendum.

Rockies win fourth straight
By Jim Salter
ST. LOUIS Jeff Francis had an-
other strong start and Matt Holliday
hit two homers Monday night to lead
the Colorado Rockies to their fourth
straight victory, 6-2 over the St. Louis
Cardinals.
Francis (2-2) allowed six hits, struck
out one and walked three in 7 2-3 in-
nings. He had a scoreless streak of 14
2-3 innings snapped when Hector Luna
singled home So Taguchi with two outs
in the eighth. Francis was 0-2 with a 4.50
ERA in April. He is 2-0 in May with a
0.61 ERA.
Holliday was 3-for-4 and scored three
runs. He hit both homers leading off
innings against Cardinals starter Jason
Marquis (3-4). His shots in the third
and seventh innings gave him nine for
the season. He also singled and scored
in the ffth and was hit by a pitch in the
frst.
Brad Hawpe singled twice and drove
in three runs for the Rockies (20-13),
who moved seven games over .500 for
the frst time since July 7, 2000, when
they were 45-38.
Marquis has gone the other direction
for St. Louis, which lost for the frst time
in four games. He has lost his last four
decisions, largely due to wildness. His
ERA was 2.79 after his frst three starts,
all wins. It is 8.73 in his four losses.
Marquis allowed four walks in 19 1-3
innings in his frst three starts. In the four
games since he has walked 13 in 22 2-3
innings.
That wildness was costly again Mon-
day. With two outs and one on in the frst
he walked Garrett Atkins and hit Hol-
liday. Hawpe followed with a two-run
single to right.
Atkins led off the ffth with a double,
moved to third on Hollidays single, and
scored on a single by Hawpe.
Jim Edmonds drove in a run in the
ninth with a sacrifce fy for St. Louis and
Brian Fuentes came on with runners on
frst and third and got two outs for his
eighth save in nine chances.
Francis, a rookie last season, is 2-0 life-
time against St. Louis, allowing one run
in 13 2-3 innings, with both wins coming
in St. Louis. He pitched six shutout in-
nings in a 7-0 win over the Cardinals on
June 30, 2005.
Notes:
n Albert Pujols of the Cardinals walked
in the frst, his 31st of the season. Phil-
adelphias Bobby Abreu leads the NL
with 34.
n The Cardinals are 12-5 in their inaugu-
ral season in the new Busch Stadium.
n All 17 games at the new stadium have
been sold out.
n The Rockies have gone eight straight
games without an error.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Doug
Mientkiewicz drove in two runs
and John Buck hit his frst homer
of the season to lead the Kansas
City Royals over the Cleveland
Indians 4-3 Monday night.
Mike Wood (3-0) threw 4 1-3
shutout innings in relief of Den-
ny Bautista, who gave up four
hits and two runs in three-plus
innings in his frst start since
going on the disabled list April
14 with a sore right pectoral
muscle.
Wood gave up just three hits
and did not issue a walk. Am-
biorix Burgos got the last four
outs for his ffth save in six op-
portunities.
Its the second time this year
the Royals have beaten Paul Byrd
(4-3), who won a career-best 17
games for Kansas City in 2002.
Mientkiewicz gave the Royals
a 2-1 lead in the frst with a two-
run single after Esteban German
walked and Mark Grudzielanek
doubled to start the inning.
Buck led off the ffth with a
homer and went 2-for-3 to raise
his batting average to .217. After
Bucks homer, the Royals load-
ed the bases with none out on
two singles and Byrds throwing
error to third on Mientkiewiczs
sacrifce bunt.
But Byrd escaped with only
one run on Emil Browns sacri-
fce fy.
Byrd went seven innings, al-
lowing nine hits and four runs,
three earned, with two walks
and no strikeouts.
Grady Sizemore tripled on
Bautistas third pitch of the game
and scored on Jason Michaels
groundout to give the Indians a
1-0 lead.
The lanky right-hander did
not allow another run until the
fourth when Victor Martinez
doubled extending his AL-
best hitting streak to 16 games
and scored on Casey Blakes
sacrifce fy off Wood.
Sizemore hit a solo homer in
the ninth.
Notes:
n Bautista was reinstated from
the 15-day DL and Joe Mays
was designated for assign-
ment. The Royals asked Mays
to accept a minor league as-
signment but manager Buddy
Bell said he had declined.
n Martinez has reached base in
31 of 32 games.
n Cleveland RHP Rafael Betan-
court is scheduled to throw a
40-pitch bullpen on Tuesday
in Cleveland. He was put on
the DL with a back injury.
n The crowd of 9,029 was the
smallest of the year.

NEW ORLEANS In a gut-
ted building with no interior
walls, exposed pipes and no air
conditioning to stave off the
Louisiana heat, Reese Wither-
spoon, Jennifer Garner and Cic-
ely Tyson chatted with children
who had lost their homes, then
watched as they sang, danced
and worked on art projects.
The movie stars were among
a delegation of women tour-
ing devastated parts of the city
Monday to meet with families
and children trying to adjust to
life after Hurricane Katrina.
I dont think you get a real
clear perspective unless you
come down and see it, With-
erspoon said after chatting with
students at a Freedom School
set up by the Childrens Defense
Fund to help young storm vic-
tims.
The children need atten-
tion right now, said Wither-
spoon, this years best actress
Oscar winner for Walk the
Line.
The visit was part of an effort
by the fund to bring attention to
the needs of storm victims, par-
ticularly traumatized children.
The group plans to open more
than 20 such schools in commu-
nities along the Gulf Coast: 13
for Louisiana and nine for Mis-
sissippi.
The New Orleans school is in
part of the city inundated with
5 feet of water after Katrina hit
Aug. 29. Many homes sit emp-
ty and deteriorating, and piles
of storm debris still line side-
walks.
About 1.2 million people
younger than 18 are living in
areas rendered disaster zones by
Katrina, and as many as 8 per-
cent, or 100,000, are expected
to develop post-traumatic stress
disorder, according to various
estimates.
Some experts say the mental
health toll may be much high-
er. Of the first 1,000 children
screened by the Louisiana
State University Health Sci-
ences Center, 27 percent dis-
played symptoms of trauma,
including nightmares, flash-
backs, heightened anxiety and
bedwetting.
Ive been shocked and
heartbroken, said Garner,
star of TVs Alias and the
flm Elektra, who cried when
the children danced and sang

LOS ANGELES Rebec-
ca Romijn is used to the blue
jokes.
Yeah, I have to talk about
blue makeup a tremendous
amount, she says of her role
as the shape-shifting, blue-hued
mutant, Mystique, in the X-
Men flms.
But I know how much peo-
ple love those movies and Im
really happy to be part of them,
so for the most part, Im happy
to talk about it, she adds. The
Last Stand, the third install-
ment of the widely followed X-
Men franchise,
arrives Memo-
rial Day week-
end.
Product i on
on Romijns
new WB sitcom
Pepper Den-
nis was halt-
ed for several
months while the statuesque
actress was flming The Last
Stand. So when production re-
sumed on the romantic comedy,
in which she plays the title role
of a TV reporter, it was decided
that Pepper would offer a wink
and a nod to Mystique.
Peppers covering a thwarted
bank robbery and ends up with
a bag of money and the dye pack
hasnt been detonated yet,
Romijn explains. When it is, it
ends up all over Pepper. Then
we cut to her in the shower and
you saw all the blue paint going
down the drain. It was a little bit
of letting go, moving on.
Although Peppers midsea-
son debut was highly anticipat-
ed the WB ordered a full 13
episodes its ratings have been
disappointing and Romijn has
been working overtime to pro-
mote more interest in her show.
We are slugging away here,
says co-creator Aaron Harberts,
adding that he knows nothing
beyond that about the fate of
the sitcom, which airs Tuesdays
at 9 p.m. EDT.
Were on a very tough night.
Our little show is out there
kind of singing for its supper
as it were, explains Harberts
in a not-so-subtle reference to
Foxs hugely popular American
Idol, which leads Fox to Tues-
day-night domination.
Yet co-creator Gretchen J.
Berg appreciates the promotion-
al efforts of the WB, which will
soon merge with UPN to form
the CW network.
The WBs in a tough position
because the network is made
up of people and a lot of them
dont know
whats next for
them and the
fact that theyve
been supportive
of the show and
excited about it
really means a
lot to us.
Romijn said
the series frst appealed to her
because, I was dying to do a
comedy.
Reading the pilot script,
she thought, OK, this girls
craaazzzy. I like her. She sounds
fun. I want to hang with her. So
she begged for a meeting with
the shows creators.
She projected power and
confdence and poise, which I
think necessary to being a re-
porter, says Harberts. He said
a lot of young actresses he met
came off as a bit presump-
tuous and obnoxious, but
Romijns demeanor seemed
exactly right. Shes a woman,
not a girl.
Romijn, 33, was born in
Berkeley, Calif., and was a suc-
cessful model in the U.S. and
Europe before her acting career
took off.
She also did some TV report-
ing in the late `80s, conducting
interviews on the MTV fashion
series House of Style.

SAN ANTONIO Hands
pumping, feet moving, eyes star-
ing straight ahead, Bruce Bowen
wasnt about to let Dirk Nowit-
zki start the second round of the
playoffs with the groove he had
in the rst round.
Making up a 5-inch height
difference with in-your-face te-
nacity, Bowen got Nowitzki out
of whack early, then got the ball
out of his hands on the nal play
to help the San Antonio Spurs
beat the Dallas Mavericks 87-85
on Sunday.
Nowitzki scored 20 points,
but missed 12 of 20 shots and
was 1-of-4 in the fourth quarter.
The Mavericks went into the pe-
riod leading by one, but scored
only 13 points two in the nal
4:08.
Oh, the winning shot for San
Antonio? Bowen hit that, too.
He earned his money to-
night, coach Gregg Popovich
said, for sure.
Bowen made a 3-pointer
with 2:15 left that put the Spurs
ahead 87-84. A free throw by
Erick Dampier was all Dal-
las could muster the rest of the
way despite being the team with
much fresher legs.
The Mavs had been off since
sweeping Memphis out of the
rst round Monday, while the
Spurs were playing 36 hours
after knocking out the Kings in
Sacramento.
Nowitzki averaged 31.3 points
against the Grizzlies and wor-
ried that the long layoff might
take him out of his rhythm.
He scored 13 points in the
rst half and felt pretty good
about it. Then Bowen began
playing what Dallas coach Av-
ery Johnson called bear-hug
defense, and the big German
couldnt break free.
He was 3-for-11 in the sec-
ond half, getting to the line only
once (missing one of two) and
scoring only seven points.
I had some good looks
and missed some shots I usu-
ally make, said Nowitzki, who
sometimes was covered by for-
mer teammate Michael Finley.
I had a decent rhythm in the
rst half, but I lost it in the sec-
ond.
For Bowen, this helped make
up for a rst round in which he
didnt live up to his rst-team
All-Defense reputation against
Sacramentos Bonzi Wells.
You dont want people talk-
ing bad about you, Bowen said.
You get a little upset and your
pride gets hurt a little bit.
Dallas last possession began
with 13.9 seconds left. Nowit-
zki got the ball on the right side,
but Bowen was all over him,
with Tim Duncan moving over
to block his path to the basket.
So Nowitzki threw a crosscourt
pass to Jerry Stackhouse.
Manu Ginobili nearly inter-
cepted it, but Stackhouse recov-
ered. He couldve driven for a
tying shot, but instead stepped
back into the left corner and
put up a well-covered 3 that was
way short.
Somehow, if I had a little
more on it, then maybe wed
have a different feeling right
now, said Stackhouse, who led
Dallas with 24 points. We came
in here with the right attitude,
right energy, but we let them
take the game.
Game 2 is Tuesday night and
Dallas is likely to nd a new way
to cover Duncan before then.
Facing pretty much single
coverage, Duncan got all three
Mavericks centers to pick up
two fouls in the rst quarter.
He scored 20 of San Antonios
rst 38 points to keep the game
tied midway through the second
quarter.
Without his big start, the
weary Spurs wouldve been in
big trouble.
The Mavericks tightened
things up at halftime, but Dun-
can still nished with 31. It was
only the third time all season
hes cracked 30.
Duncan has a foot injury
thats kept his scoring down. He
also was well below his postsea-
son average in the rst round.
So teammate Tony Parker said
he wasnt surprised that Dallas
didnt aggressively double-team
Duncan.
A lot of people have been
doing that lately, Parker said.
Thats a big mistake.
Both teams had been brac-
ing for this meeting most of
the season because of a aw in
the NBAs seeding system that
forced them to meet in the sec-
ond round, regardless of the fact
they both hit 60 wins.
Neither team needed much
time to prepare for the other,
anyway, considering all their
connections from Johnson
playing most of his career for
Popovich to Finley having spent
the last nine years on the Mav-
ericks.
Although Game 1 wasnt a
thing of beauty, the close nish
made for an exciting start to the
series.
This was a very tough one,
Ginobili said. It doesnt mean
Game 2 is going to be any easier.
They are going to come upset, so
weve got to keep improving. ...
We can play much better.
Parker scored 19 points,
Ginobili added 15 and Bowen
scored six. Dallas Josh How-
ard had 17, but 14 came in
the first half, and Jason Terry
scored 14.

DURHAM, N.C. Duke
underestimated the rape alle-
gations against members of the
lacrosse team in part because
Durham police initially said
the accuser kept changing her
story and was not credible, ac-
cording to a university report is-
sued Monday.
The day after the March 13
team party where a 27-year-old
black woman claimed she was
raped, Durham police told cam-
pus ofcers that this will blow
over, the report said.
Instead, more than a month
after the party, a grand jury in-
dicted two members of the highly
ranked lacrosse team on charges
of rape, kidnapping and sexual
assault. The report was commis-
sioned by the Duke president and
prepared by Julius Chambers, a
former chancellor at North Caro-
lina Central University, where the
accuser is a student, and William
G. Bowen, a former president of
Princeton University who is now
head of the Andrew W. Mellon
Foundation.
The report did say a female
Duke police ofcer tried to calm
and reassure the accuser at the
hospital where she was taken by
police hours after the party. The
woman, the Duke ofcer said,
was crying uncontrollably and
visibly shaken ... shaking, cry-
ing and upset. That behavior,
the report said, doesnt suggest
that the case was likely to just
`go away.
The statements about the
accusers credibility were part
of a major failure of commu-
nications between police and
Dukes administration, the re-
port said.
Defense attorneys have
strongly proclaimed the inno-
cence of the team and the two
players charged, sophomores
Reade Seligmann, of Essex
Fells, N.J., and Collin Finnerty,
of Garden City, N.Y.

DUKE LACROSSE
Bowens defense slows down Mavericks
David J. Phillip/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Dallas Mavericks Dirk Nowitzki, of Germany, keeps the ball from San Antonio Spurs Bruce Bowen during the fourth quarter of Game 1 in the Western
Conference seminals NBA playoff game Sunday in San Antonio. Making up a 5-inch height difference with in-your-face tenacity, Bowen got Nowitzki out of
whack early, then got the ball out of his hands on the nal play to help the San Antonio Spurs beat the Dallas Mavericks 87-85.

When most people think of
competitive cycling, mountain
trails and steep ascents come to
mind. The Lawrence area may
not have many mountains, but
it will play host to three days of
bicycle races this weekend.
Many of the best cyclists from
both the professional and the
collegiate ranks
will converge
in Lawrence to
compete in the
USA Cycling
Collegiate Road
Nationals.
The Univer-
sity of Kansas
Cycling Club,
which is host-
ing the event,
has enjoyed a
strong season
in preparation for the national
competition. Graduate student
and Kansas team member Jeff
Schroeder, is the overall confer-
ence points leader in the mens
class B, while senior Kim Kiss-
ing is third in the conference in
womens class B.
Members of the team said
they looked forward to nation-
als, which is the fnal and most
prestigious event of the season.
The season never really ends
for these guys, assistant coach
David McLeod said. They race
through the fall and spring for
Kansas and compete in addi-
tional races all summer long.
The team raced well in events
in North Dakota, Nebraska and
Minnesota in order to qualify
for national competition.
Like other sports, the Jay-
hawk riders said they had a
distinct home-feld advantage
against the visiting competition
because of their familiarity with
the local courses.
Many people from out of
town dont realize that its hilly,
Schroeder said. We have the
advantage of knowing the ter-
rain.
The frst races will be the
team time trials,
which will begin
Friday morn-
ing at 27th and
Wakarusa. The
time trials will
feature some of
the fastest rid-
ers from each
division. We
always see some
real speed and
some excellent
new technology
at the time trials, said gradu-
ate student and cyclist Jason
Knight.
Saturday morning, the com-
petitors will head to Lake Perry
for the road race, which will
showcase the long distance rid-
ers stamina.
The main event will be the
criterium, held downtown at
8th and Massachusetts. The cri-
terium is a shorter, more view-
er-friendly event that features
many riders battling each other
for position and space.
It really requires a lot of abil-
ity, Kissing said. Theres bump-
ing and jostling, and were going
about thirty miles per hour.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Kansas City Royals
owner David Glass reiter-
ated Monday that he was
not ready to announce what
front-office changes he had
in mind.
Glass said last week that
he was planning significant
changes in his woebegone
club, which entered Monday
nights game against Cleve-
land with a major league-
worst 7-22 record.
What I said last week
was none of us are happy
with our record and that I
think the teams better than
the way that its played and
that we werent willing just
to sit and wait and see if we
got better, Glass said when
confronted by about two dozen reporters and
cameramen near the Royals batting cage.
What we were going to do is we were going
to change everything that we could possibly
change to improve the teams record. Thats
exactly what I said and thats what were
working on, and as soon as we know what
were going to change Ill be glad to share it
with all of you.
Asked if he was going to fire general man-
ager Allard Baird, Glass refused comment.
Were examining all of our alternatives.
Anything that we can change, he said. As
a fan, Im very frustrated. I bear the frustra-
tion of all the fans of Kansas City and I just
want everyone to know that were not happy
with the way things are going now, with our
record. But were not just going to sit and see
if it gets better when our players get back.
Were going to change everything that we can
change. Right now I dont know what we can
change.
A
s a fan,
Im
very frustrat-
ed. I bear
the frustra-
tions of all
the fans
of Kansas
City.
