Jury selection complete for trial
Casualties of Iraq War honored
By TylEr hArBErT
A couple dozen students were up
late Monday night sidewalk chalking
in front of Strong Hall not to pro-
mote bands or drink specials but
instead to memorialize each of the
3,351 soldiers killed in the Iraq War.
Today is the four-year anniversa-
ry of the day in 2003 when President
Bush stood in front of a banner
that read, Mission Accomplished,
marking the cessation of hostile
activity in Iraq.
Members of Young Democrats,
Delta Force, representatives from the
Ecumenical Christian Ministries and
other students helped write every
name of every fallen soldier.
Were trying to make it as
apolitical as possible, said Julia
Groeblacher, McPherson freshman
and president of Young Democrats.
We dont want to make it a political
event but an American event.
Groeblacher said she got the idea
for the event from Young Democrats
at Ohio State University who created
similar memorials. She used a casu-
alty count from an official release
from the Department of Defense on
the Web site icasualties.org for the
3,351 soldiers for the memorial.
One event similar to this occurred
in the fall of 2004 at the University
when Ethan Nuss, a junior at the
time, posted pictures of every fall-
en soldier on wooden stakes in the

Fourteen jurors were selected as
the triple murder and manslaugh-
ter trial of Jason Allen Rose began
Monday.
Douglas County assistant dis-
trict attorney Amy McGowan and
defense attorney Ron Evans began
questioning a pool of 71 potential
jurors Monday morning. The group
was eventually narrowed down to
the six men and six women selected
for the jury, plus two men selected as
alternates.
Rose is accused of starting an
October 2005 fire at the Boardwalk
Apartments that killed three residents
and injured several others. University
of Kansas student Nicole Bingham
was among the three fatalities. Roses
initial trial began in February, but
was declared a mistrial after five days
because the prosecution moved to
admit a late witness.
Mondays jury selection lasted just
less than seven hours, ending at 3:15
p.m. Among those dismissed from
the initial pool was a woman who said
she would not be able to handle see-
ing the gruesome images that Evans
said would be shown. A Lawrence
man who had helped install air con-
ditioning in the building more than a
decade ago was also dismissed. Evans
argued that the mans knowledge of
the building would hamper his ability
to hear the case.
Evans told the jury he couldnt
promise a specific length for the trial.
The chance of it going past two
weeks, I cant say, Evans said. Youre
going to hear from 40 to 50 witnesses,
along with a two-and-a-half day wit-
ness video. I wish I could say for sure,
but the truth is, I cant.
The jury will be sworn in and pre-
sented with opening statements at 9
a.m. Tuesday.

Departmental Award for
Exceptional Teaching and

es one exceptional department
each year with a $10,000 award.
The winner is selected based
on the culture of learning with-

student learning and constant
evaluation
of progress.

We emphasize writing as a
vehicle and as a tool for critical
thinking, he said.

had moved away from simply
teaching a language and now
included cultural studies as well.

Photographs, prints and paintings
by two students are on display this
month at Solidarity! Revolutionary
Center and Radical Library.
The artwork, by Jessica Gish,
Topeka senior, and Ailecia Ruscin,,
Auburn, Ala., graduate student, is
part of the Queer and Transgender
Art Show at the center, located at
1109 Massachusetts St. The show is
free and will run until May 11.
Gish said that people at Solidarity!
called her because she was an artist
who was active in the gay commu-
nity. Gish said her sexual orientation
influenced her artwork, but it wasnt
the focus of her work.
Most often I feel as an artist first
rather than a gay artist or queer
artist, Gish said. I draw a lot of
inspirations from the people and the
world around me.
Gish is working toward a degree
in painting at the University, and she
displayed prints along with paintings
at the art show. She enjoys utiliz-
ing the two mediums for different
reasons.
What I like about painting is that
you have such direct control of every

Graduate school, research
branch to merge
The University of Kansas will
merge its graduate school and
research branch this summer to
create a new department, an-
nounced Provost Richard Lariviere
last week. The move will shift both
the administrative structure and
focus of the two institutions.
Jim Roberts, current vice provost
for research, will head the new
department starting July 1.
Kevin Boatright, communica-
tions director for the research
ofce, said the new department
is recognition of the connection
between graduate studies and
research at the University.
If you increase research, youre
going to enhance graduate stud-
ies, Boatright said. A lot of the
research of KU is done by graduate
students.
The move to reorganize the
departments began when Diana
Carlin, graduate school dean, an-
nounced her resignation in March,
Boatright said.
Jackie Hosey, University spokes-
woman, said the Ofce of Interna-
tional Programs, currently associ-
ated with the graduate school, will
not be part of the new depart-
ment, and that its placement in the
Universitys structure was yet to be
determined.
The University is currently
looking to hire an associate vice
provost and dean of graduate stud-
ies to serve under Roberts.

KANSAS CITY SHOOTING
Police shoot, kill rifeman at mall
By HEATHER
HOLLINGSWORTH
ASSOcIATEd PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. The
chaos began with police finding a
woman dead and her car missing.
It ended when officers fatally
shot the man driving the car but
only after he fired on a police offi-
cer and later people at a shopping
center, killing two of them.
Police spokesman Tony Sanders
said the authorities were review-
ing security footage and interview-
ing hundreds of witnesses to the
shooting Sunday outside a Target
store inside Ward Parkway Center,
trying to make sense of the four
deaths.
Target employee Cassie
Bradshaw, 19, was in a break room
with two other people when they
first heard shots. Then, her co-
workers saw a man in his 50s with
a rifle shooting everywhere, she
said.
It sounded like maybe fire-
crackers at first but then they got
louder and louder and louder, and
it sounded like someone shooting a
gun, she said.
David W.
Logsdon was
shot and killed
by police after he
reportedly killed
his neighbor,
then shot and
killed two people
Sunday.
A woman who identified herself
as the slain womans stepdaughter
said the shooter was a longtime
neighbor who had worked as a
security guard at the Target store.
Police could not immediately con-
firm those details.
Police found the womans body
Sunday afternoon after they went
to a home because relatives had
not seen her for days. Her car was
spotted later in the day at a gas
station by an officer, who pulled
the driver over and was shot in the
arm, police said.
The officer, whose wound was
not life-threatening, returned fire
and shattered the window of the
gunmans car.
The car took off and reports
began arriving about 10 to 15
minutes later
of shots fired
at the shop-
ping center.
The man pulled
into a parking
space and fired
at the cars on
either side of
him, killing
two people,
authorities said.
He fired more
shots, wound-
ing at least two people, then went
inside the mall, Sanders said.
Everybody was leaving the
mall when the officers ran inside,
Sanders said. They confronted the
man and after confronting him,
shot and killed him.
Police did not say how the
woman died, or if the gunman was
a suspect in her death. But they
did say they
believed the
events were
connected.
On Monday,
police identi-
fied the woman
found dead in
her home as
Patricia Reed,
67.
The victims
shot to death
at the shopping
center were Leslie N. Ballew, 33, of
Kansas City, and Luke A. Nilges,
30, of Shawnee, Kan.
The gunman was not immedi-
ately named, but Patricia Reeds
stepdaughter, Pam Reed, described
him as her stepmothers neighbor.
Police had cordoned off a home
near where the elder Reed lived,
and a phone listing for the gunman
matched that address.
A bomb squad was called to the
home early Monday after a police
officer looked into a window of the
home and saw a suspicious device,
Sanders said.
The Target store was closed
Monday. Company representatives
did not immediately return a mes-
sage seeking comment left at Target
headquarters in Minneapolis.
The mall, one of the citys busiest
shopping centers, was shut down
and officers went through each
store to see if anyone else might
have been involved, Sanders said.

Residents resist
toxic waste plants
By MONIcA RHOR
ASSOcIATEd PRESS
PORT ARTHUR, Texas At the
Carver Terrace housing projects,
only a chain-link fence and a clus-
ter of no-trespassing signs separate
brightly painted jungle gyms from
the Motiva oil refinery.
On warm days, the playground
is filled with children playing in the
shadow of the towers and pipes that
spew smoke and spread a sulfurous,
rotten-egg smell over this mostly
poor, mostly black city of 60,000
along the Louisiana state line.
For decades,
Port Arthur resi-
dents have lived
with the refiner-
ies and chemical
plants that ring
their neighbor-
hoods and loom
over their back-
yards. And they
have tolerated
the cancer, asth-
ma, and liver and
kidney disease
that some blame on the pollution.
But when a company won a $49
million contract to incinerate chemi-
cal waste from the destruction of
the deadly nerve agent VX, Hilton
Kelley and others said enough was
enough.
Its disgusting to know that all
across America, when you mention
Port Arthur, Texas, that its consid-
ered the toxic dump site of North
America. Its disgusting to know
people are turning their backs on
little children and old people and
letting them stew in toxic waste,
said Kelley, 46, a community activ-
ist. Its not right, and I am not going
to stand by and let anyone come
and dump toxic waste in my com-
munity.
Kelley has been holding rallies
and meetings to protest the incin-
eration, drawing about 100 people to
one recent meeting. And one mother
started a petition drive to halt the
project. But so far, there is little rea-
son to believe they will accomplish
anything.
Jefferson County, where Port
Arthur is located, is home to one
of the countrys biggest chemical-
industrial complexes and has been
ranked in the top 10 percent of
Americas dirtiest counties by the
Environmental Defense Fund.
Port Arthur is encircled by major
refineries and
chemical plants
run by such
companies as
Motiva, Chevron
Phillips, Valero
and BASF, and
their properties
abut the back-
yards and play-
grounds of the
citys poor and
historically black
west end.
The battle began in April when
Veolia Environmental Services of
Lombard, Ill., announced a contract
with the Army to incinerate 1.8 mil-
lion gallons of VX hydrolysate over
the next three years. New Jersey and
Ohio fought off plans to incinerate
the waste there.
VX hydrolysate is caustic waste
water created when VX is destroyed
by mixing it with sodium hydroxide
and water. The Army is destroying
its entire supply of the Cold War-era
nerve agent, which can kill with a
single drop, at a chemical depot in
Indiana. The waste water will be
shipped in 4,000-gallon containers
across eight states and nearly 1,000
miles to the Veolia plant.
Nerve agent waste causes outcry
Its disgusting to know people
are turning their backs on little
children and old people and let-
ting them stew in toxic waste.

CHICAGO Boeing Co. Chief
Executive Jim McNerney said
Monday the aerospace company
turned the corner in 2006 and is on
pace to overtake rival Airbus as the
worlds largest commercial airplane
maker within a year.
McNerney spoke at the compa-
nys annual shareholders meeting at a
time when Boeing is enjoying almost
unparalleled success in its commer-
cial aircraft and defense businesses
and distancing itself from the scan-
dals of recent years.
After posting a 2006 profit of $2.2
billion amid a 15 percent jump in
revenue to $61 billion, the Chicago-
based company last week beat Wall
Streets projections with a 27 percent
rise in first-quarter earnings and 8
percent higher sales.
Much of its momentum is because
of a flood of orders for the more fuel-
efficient new 787, which is scheduled
for its first test flight on July 8 the
calendar equivalent of 7-8-7.
The annual meeting was note-
worthy for being largely devoid of
the troublesome issues that have
dogged the company in recent years,
such as ethics scandals and CEO
turnover. Boeing helped hasten the
end of the ethics clamor by agreeing
to pay the government a record $615
million following a three-year inves-
tigation into its defense contracting
practices.
McNerney told shareholders that
last year was a year in which we
turned the corner and positioned
ourselves for a very exciting future.
He said 2007 is off to a good clean
start.
Boeing surpassed Airbus in plane
orders in 2006, but the European
company delivered more aircraft and
held its position as the worlds top
airplane manufacturer.
Asked in a media session after-
ward when Boeing would reclaim
the No. 1 spot, McNerney said: The
math would say end of this year,
beginning of next.
But he declined an opportunity
to take a potshot at the rival air-
plane maker, who has struggled with
lengthy delays.

WASHINGTON Police may
use tactics that put fleeing suspects
at risk of death to end high-speed
car chases, the Supreme Court said
Monday in ruling against a Georgia
teenager who was paralyzed after
his car was run
off the road.
In a case that
turned in part
on a video of the
chase in subur-
ban Atlanta, the
court said it is
reasonable for
law enforce-
ment officers
to try to stop a
fleeing motorist
to prevent harm
to bystanders or other drivers.
A police officers attempt to ter-
minate a dangerous high-speed car
chase that threatens the lives of
innocent bystanders does not vio-
late the Fourth Amendment, even
when it places the fleeing motorist
at risk of serious injury or death,
Justice Antonin Scalia said in his
majority opinion.
The court sided 8-1 with for-
mer Coweta County sheriff s dep-
uty Timothy Scott, who rammed
a fleeing black Cadillac on a two-
lane, rain-
slicked road in
March 2001.
The nighttime
chase reached
speeds of up
to 90 miles an
hour.
V i c t o r
Harris, the
1 9 - y e a r - ol d
driver of the
Cadillac, lost
control and his
car ended up at the bottom of an
embankment. Harris was rendered
a quadriplegic.
The court, in a nod to mod-
ern technology, for the first time
posted the dramatic video on its
Web site.
Many large police forces have
strict rules for when officers can
begin high-speed pursuit, limiting
chases to instances where there has
been a felony crime committed,
a misdemeanor crime involving
a weapon, or suspected drunken
drivers who are an obvious road
hazard.
Harris was wanted only for
speeding.
Joshua Dressler, an Ohio State
University law professor and expert
on the Fourth Amendment, said
he did not think that police would
relax those policies.
The clear trend of police
departments in major urban areas
has been to limit police chases in
general, Dressler said. There have
been so many injuries and deaths
as a result of police chases and
such great risk of harm to innocent
bystanders.

OAKLAND, Calif. The threat
of a nightmarish morning commute
led many Bay Area residents to use
public transpor-
tation Monday,
one day after
a fiery tanker
crash collapsed a
heavily trafficked
section of free-
way.
We s t b ound
traffic into the
city largely
flowed as usual
Monday morn-
ing, except for drivers slowing on
interchange lanes headed to the Bay
Bridge to look at the damage.
But officials warned the afternoon
drive would bring bigger headaches
as traffic leaving the city is diverted
away from the collapsed eastbound
segment.
The elevated section of highway
that carries motorists from the San
Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge to a
number of freeways was destroyed
early Sunday when the heat of a
burning gasoline tanker truck weak-
ened part of one overpass, crum-
pling it onto another.
Many commuters avoided peak
hour congestion by getting a head
start or leaving later than usual, said
Bay Area Rapid Transit spokesman
Jim Allison.
I did make a little effort to get
here a little
earlier today
because of the
freeway melt-
ing, or whatever
you want to call
it, Mark Griffey,
who took a
BART train into
the city, told
KTVU-TV.
Im mad,
said Crystal
McSwain, who switched from a bus
to a more expensive BART train to
avoid the roads. My life is upside
down, and I dont know how long its
going to take.
Authorities predicted that overall
the crash would cause the worst
disruption for commuters since the
1989 Loma Prieta earthquake dam-
aged the Bay Bridge itself. The sight
of the soaring freeway twisted into
a fractured mass of steel and con-
crete was reminiscent of that quakes
damage.
The most worrisome thing is
the afternoon commute coming out
of San Francisco toward the maze
because the traffic from the Bay
Bridge fans out from across three
freeways, said Jeff Weiss, a spokes-
man for the California Department
of Transportation. Taking away
two-thirds of the capacity is really
going to cause a bottleneck.
Nearly 75,000 vehicles used
the damaged portion of the road
every day. But because the accident
occurred where three highways con-
verge, authorities said it could cause
problems for hundreds of thousands
of commuters. State transporta-
tion officials said 280,000 commut-
ers take the Bay Bridge into San
Francisco each day.
To encourage motorists to switch
to public transit, Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger authorized free pas-
sage Monday on ferries, buses and
the BART rail system. Extra trains
were added and bus and ferry opera-
tors also expanded service.
Parking lots at outlying rail sta-
tions filled up earlier than usual for
the morning commute and some
trains appeared more crowded than
usual, but BART officials said overall
ridership did not appear greater than
normal.
Transportation officials said
repairs could take months.

diabetes
By ANDALE GROSS
ASSOciAtED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Kan. The
evil Dr. Diabetes leaps from a hos-
pital window, crashing through the
glass, determined to infect anyone
in his path with the chronic, debili-
tating disease from which he takes
his name.
The imposing, green, wild-
haired monster scowls, punches
the air and taunts, I will make
sure that everyone on the planet
feels my pain. The whole world will
have diabetes.
In real life, 13-year-old Kamaal
Washington one of the creators
of the Dr. Diabetes comic book
character faces his own battle
with diabetes. The Kansas City,
Kan., teen said the adventures
he and his 11-year-old brother,
Malcolm, capture in their comic
books are meant to spread aware-
ness about the disease and empow-
er those who have it.
You control the disease, says
Kamaal, dont let it control you.
The comic books which have
gained national attention tell the
stories of children who learn they
have diabetes and find themselves
visited by Dr. Diabetes. But his
wicked intentions are foiled by the
heroes of the comics, Omega Boy
and later, Mighty Boy. The books
are sold online but will be available
soon at Walgreen and CVS shops
in the Kansas City area and comic
book shops nationally.
Kamaal and Malcolm are work-
ing on their third diabetes-themed
comic. Slated for July, the comic
tells the story of a politician who
refuses to work to increase funds
to find a cure for diabetes and the
heroes quest to change that.
Kamaal was 9 when he was
diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes,
which is most commonly found
in younger children and teens and
makes them dependent on injected
or pumped insulin for life.
With this form of diabetes, the
bodys immune system attacks and
destroys the insulin-producing cells
of the pancreas. As many as 3 mil-
lion Americans may have Type 1
diabetes, according to the Juvenile
Diabetes Research Foundation.
Kamaal checks his blood sugar
seven to eight times a day and must
watch how much sugar and salt he
eats. He wears an insulin pump
so he can get a supply of insulin
whenever he needs it, without hav-
ing to receive shots. The pump
includes a device about the size of
a cell phone that contains insulin,
with a thin tube that allows the
insulin to flow from the device to
Kamaals stomach.
Diabetes was largely an unknown
to the boy before a family trip to St.
Louis in 2003 when Kamaal was
taken to the emergency room after
complaining of constant thirst and
feeling ill. Kamaals great-grand-
mother on his mothers side had
Type 2 diabetes. But no other fam-
ily members had the disease.
I got really scared, Kamaal
said. I was wondering what would
happen to me.
The diabetes books that doctors
gave the boy, with their big words
and medical terminology, werent
much help.
So Kamaal and his brother,
Malcolm, were drawing one day
and came up with a way to make it
easier for kids to learn about diabe-
tes and how to control the disease.
We decided to do a comic
book, Kamaal said. We wanted it
to be fun and educational.
Katrina corruption
Pumps scandal arises
By cAiN BURDEAU
ASSOciAtED PRESS
NEW ORLEANS When the
Army Corps of Engineers solicited
bids for drainage pumps for New
Orleans, it copied the specifications
typos and all from the catalog of
the manufacturer that ultimately won
the $32 million contract, a review of
documents by The Associated Press
found.
The pumps, supplied by Moving
Water Industries Corp. of Deerfield
Beach, Fla., and installed at canals
before the start of the 2006 hurricane
season, proved to be defective, as
the AP reported
in March. The
matter is under
investigation by
the Government
Accountabi l ity
Office, the inves-
tigative arm of
Congress.
In a letter
dated April 13,
U.S. Sen. David
Vitter, (R-La.),
called on the
Corps to look into how the politically
connected company got the post-
Hurricane Katrina contract. MWI
employed former Florida Gov. Jeb
Bush, President Bushs brother, to
market its pumps during the 1980s,
and top MWI officials have been
major contributors to the Republican
Party.
While it may not be a violation of
federal regulations to adopt a com-
panys technical specifications, it is
frowned on, especially for large jobs
like the MWI contract, because it
could give the impression the job
was rigged for the benefit of a certain
company, contractors familiar with
Corps practices say.
The Corps January 2006 call for
bids for 34 pumps used the word-
ing on how the pumps should be
built and tested, with minor changes,
found in MWI catalogs.
The specifications were so similar
that an erroneous phrase in MWI cat-
alogs the discharge tube and head
assembly shall be abrasive resistance
steel also appears in the Corps
specifications. The phrase should say
abrasion resistant steel. An incor-
rect reference to the type of steel that
would be required apparently was
also lifted.
Eugene Pawlik, a Corps spokes-
man in Washington, said the agency
is working on a response to Vitters
letter.
MWI declined to discuss how it
won the contract. GAO would not
talk about its probe.
Richard White, a federal contract-
ing expert, said it is not unheard for
a spec to be copied, in particular in
cases of emergency purchases.
Its not a good practice, but its
not anything
egregious, espe-
cially if the
Corps allowed
other companies
to negotiate to
change it, White
said.
After Katrina
swamped about
80 percent of the
city, Congress
a ppr opr i a t e d
$5.7 billion to
rebuild New Orleans flood protec-
tion systems. Vitter and U.S. Sen.
Mary Landrieu, (D-La.), have excori-
ated the Corps over its workmanship
since Katrina.
In his letter to the commander
of the Corps, Vitter said the bid
solicitation for the pumps includes
specifications identical to those writ-
ten and marketed by Moving Water
Industries. In addition, the testing
specifications are also identical to the
testing specifications developed and
authored by MWI.
A May 2006 memo by a Corps
inspector working on the project,
provided to the AP earlier this year,
warned that the pumps were faulty
and would not work if needed to
remove water during a hurricane.
GAO opened its investigation after
the memo surfaced.
The Corps and MWI insist the
pumps would have worked, but last
years mild hurricane season never
put them to the test. The pumps
have been overhauled and are being
reinstalled.
The Corps withheld about 20
percent of MWIs contract price
including an incentive of about
$5 million to deliver them by June
1, 2006 until the flaws have been
resolved. But the Corps also spent
$4.5 million for six additional MWI
pumps for use in troubleshooting the
defective ones.
The Corps contract officer over-
seeing the January 2006 bid, Cindy
Nicholas, was told about the copied
specifications during a conference
call with FPI Inc., a Florida company
that also bid on the project, shortly
after MWI was awarded the contract.
A recording of the briefing was pro-
vided to the AP by FPI.
Are you folks aware that the speci-
fications that you folks put out was a
copy of the specifications in the MWI
catalog? asked Bob Purcell, who was
an FPI salesman at the time the bids
were taken.
No, Im not aware of that,
Nicholas replied.
Corps official Dan Bradley said
during the briefing that consulting
engineers had a hand in drawing up
the specifications.
Purcell then complained: We
were forced to meet someone elses
specifications in entirety. He said the
consultants did not cooperate with
FPI, and he charged that MWI was
given a heads up about the job.
That, he said, was evident by MWIs
order for pump engines before the
contract was even put out to bid.
I dont know anything about that,
sir, Nicholas responded. She said that
if MWI ordered the engines ahead of
time, they took a big risk.
Obviously it was a risk that paid
off, lets put it that way. They must
have had some assurance! Purcell
exclaimed.
Not from me, Nicholas said.
MWI would not comment on the
alleged order for pump engines before
the award of the contract.
Purcell, a former MWI employee,
is a plaintiff in a federal whistleblower
lawsuit accusing MWI of fraudulently
helping Nigeria obtain $74 million in
taxpayer-backed loans for overpriced
and unnecessary pumping equip-
ment. The U.S. Justice Department
has joined the suit as a plaintiff.

Involuntary patients can
no longer purchase guns
rIcHMoND, Va. The governor
on Monday closed the loophole in
state law that allowed the Virginia
Tech gunman to buy weapons
despite a court ruling that he was
a threat and needed psychiatric
counseling.
Gov. Timothy M. Kaine issued
an executive order requiring that
a database of people banned
from buying guns include the
name of anyone who is found to
be dangerous and ordered to get
involuntary mental health treat-
ment.
Seung-Hui cho was told to get
counseling in 2005 after a judge
ruled that he was a danger to
himself.
But because cho was treated as
an outpatient and never commit-
ted to a mental health hospital,
the courts decision was not
entered into the database, which
gun dealers must check before
selling a weapon.
Whether that treatment is to
be provided in an inpatient or out-
patient facility is of no moment,
Kaine said.
cho did not disclose his mental
health problems or the court-or-
dered treatment in a form he com-
pleted before buying the guns.
His lie on the form would have
been caught had the order been
in place before cho tried to buy
the guns, Kaine said.
But it would not prevent cho
from acquiring guns by several
other means that require no back-
ground check in Virginia, includ-
ing buy-and-trade publications,
individual transactions among
gun collectors or hobbyists, and
gun shows vast frearms ba-
zaars where scores of people sell
or swap frearms.
Virginia has supplied more
than 80,000 mental health records
to the federal database. Twenty-
eight states do not supply any
records, either because they lack
the technical ability or are barred
by privacy laws.
cho, a 23-year-old Virginia Tech
senior described as a troubled
loner, bought his guns legally
through gun shops before gun-
ning down 32 people on campus,
then killing himself.

actor Willis could care less
about fame, pop culture
NEW YORK Bruce Willis says be-
ing a flm star hasnt brought him
many perks.
Its really ... weird to be famous,
the 52-year-old actor tells Vanity
Fair magazine in its June issue, on
newsstands May 8. It gets you
into restaurants easier than other
people, but beyond that, personally,
you could set fame on fre.
Willis reprises his role as John
McClane in the upcoming Live Free
or Die Hard,the fourth installment
in the action series, which began in
1988.
A lot of the physical stuf that
they had me doing (for `Live Free)
was still, lets say, low-tech,he tells
the magazine. I dont bounce as
well of the concrete foors as I used
to. There are those `ouch moments
that actually hurt.
It gets really un-fun on Take
Two, you know? You hope they
got it in Take One,he says. Im
glad I didnt wait a couple more
years to do this.
Willis, who has three daughters
from his marriage to Demi Moore,
says hes not a popular subject in
the press these days.
Theyre not writing about guys
my age much anymore, unless I do

our view
In an evermore globalized and
interconnected world, its becoming
increasingly important for students
to be internationally savvy. Students
now have more plentiful opportu-
nities to travel and learn overseas.
The modern college experience, no
longer strictly limited to four years,
provides time and opportunities
for students to bum around in Fiji
or to take an internship in Spain.
Universities are also offering a
larger number and variety of study
abroad programs.
These opportunities are wonder-
ful experiences that should be taken
advantage of unreservedly. At the
same time, students must realize
that it is extremely easy to spend
buckets of money going somewhere
far away without truly experienc-
ing the place and without gaining
the ultimate travelers education. By
boldly stepping into a new world
and temporarily shedding American
customs, the adventurous student
can gain valuable cultural insight
and sensitivity, practical language
skills and historical and political
lessons.
How exactly can one gain the
most of an international experience?
First, try with the language. The
most limited vocabularies expand
quickly with practice and locals
always appreciate American tourists
attempts however bad to speak a
new language instead of arrogantly
using English. Plus, theres nothing
quite as amusing as the reaction
obtained by screaming Im horny!
in a crowded dance club when
attempting to say, Im burning up!
Savor the culture. Skip the pro-
saic fast food chains and the pricey
hotel dinners and find a quaint
local restaurant. Frequent a local
restaurant to make local friends. If
traveling extensively, plan on buying
foreign items instead of stocking up
on American brands. Party with the
locals and learn some new dance
moves. Of course, dont forget to
research the fundamental cultural
dos and donts prior to arriving.
Get lost. Not too lost just a
little lost. A traveler doesnt have to
be chained to the well-beaten tour-
ist path. Go to outdoor markets and
festivals to meander and people-
watch. Visit a smaller, more authen-
tic town with fewer tourists.
With abounding reasons and
opportunities to see the world,
students shouldnt think twice
about packing up for an adventure.
However, these experiences are far
more meaningful and rewarding
when used to broaden horizons, not
just to party it up American-style
in exotic lands. Future globetrot-
ters should aim to gain the ultimate
traveling experience by stepping
into other countries with an adven-
turous and considerate mindset.

Seek truth
from campus
preachers
The afternoons on Wescoe Beach
are now warm enough to allow two
near-permanent fixtures back on
campus: Those guys playing hacky
sack and the seasonal assortment of
street preachers.
I try to maintain a generally non-
confrontational disposition, so when
I am walking across campus and
see a crowd foaming like the ocean
before a storm, I turn my head and
cross the street in order to avoid the
situation.
Sometimes though, especially
when the guy in the green, three-
piece suit sits on his folding chair
at the top of Wescoes stairs, I duck
under someones arm in order to
catch a few notes of his droning
voice. I like to listen to the music of
his speeches, which incorporates the
taunts from the crowd with his own
imprecations. Listening to him is
something of a guilty pleasure for me.
Whether we gather around him
because we are angry or intrigued,
we have only three options since
we cant ban free speech in a public
place (nor would we want to).
The first possibility is simply to
keep heckling, and spit back at his
outrageous statements. Our second
choice is to turn our heads away and
walk on the other side of the street.
We have another choice, though.
Instead of yelling, which wont
change anyones mind, we could
become known as the prime destina-
tion for street preachers. What if the
University of Kansas became famous
for our courtesy and receptivity
toward anyone who stood up and
shouted from the top of the stairs?
This would change things in two
ways. First, the street preachers of
the Fred Phelpsian persuasion, the
ones spoiling for a fight, would find
themselves bored by a group of stu-
dents who had no intention of grow-
ing angry and instead asked careful
questions about the source of their
views. Second, and this is the excit-
ing thing to me, people who wanted
open and honest debate would feel
free to stand up and talk.
I would love to see an 80-year-old
Presbyterian stand up opposite a
Tibetan Buddhist to debate the path
to God. I dont pretend they would
agree, but as it is, we dont even know
what the differences are because
were too caught up in yelling.
When the hacky sacks and the
street preachers begin to reemerge
on Wescoe, ignore those preachers,
whatever religion they are, whose
only goal is to invite heckling. But,
when you find a preacher who
honestly wants to talk, dont attack
because you disagree; rather, ask
some questions and listen to the
responses. Help us create an atmo-
sphere at Kansas which rejects
pointless arguments and seeks the
truth instead.

From reading The University
Daily Kansan, Ive learned more
about sex than I ever thought possi-
ble. Ive seen articles on sex between
heterosexual couples, homosexual
couples, friends who are not dating,
one night stands and threesomes.
Ive seen advice on sex toys, birth
control and the best places to have
sex on campus. However, Ive not
seen an article on the type of rela-
tionship I believe in the kind that
doesnt involve sex. So heres my
take on dating without the sex. Im
not writing this to condemn oth-
ers or to pass judgment, but to add
another perspective to the discus-
sion of what sex is really all about.
So what does abstinence in a
committed relationship look like?
For my boyfriend and me, it means
saving all sexual activity for mar-
riage. It may sound like were ultra-
conservative, anti-sex people, but
really its the opposite. We dont
think sex is bad. We dont even
think sex is good. We believe that
sex is sacred.
Practicing abstinence is not
about what we cant do, but rather
what we can. While it may seem
like this situation takes away our
freedom to express our affection,
it actually gives us many greater
freedoms. Without sex in the pic-
ture, we are free to get to know each
other. The time we spend together
is not spent in the bedroom or in
front of the TV. Instead, we experi-
ence life. We take long walks, dis-
cuss books, go dancing, cook, play
ultimate Frisbee, hang out with our
friends, go to church, bike and just
plain talk. Im free from wonder-
ing if he likes me or just my body.
There are so many women in the
world who would give him sex with
no attachment; I know that if he is
with me, it is because of who I am,
not what he can get from me. Im
free from the fear that as soon as
Im not exciting anymore he will
move onto someone else .
According to the National Center
for Health Statistics, women who
have sex before marriage are 60 per-
cent more likely to have a divorce
and more than twice as likely to
have extra-marital affairs when
married (no statistics were given for
men).
Unfortunately, in our culture,
being a man is often associated
with having many sexual partners.
Rather, to be a man is to have cour-
age, conviction, and strength of
mind and body. What could show a
woman greater courage and convic-
tion than being willing to go against
popular culture to show her the
respect she deserves?
Being in an abstinent relation-
ship doesnt not mean living an
anachronistic life or renouncing the
real advancements in the equality
of women. I dont need sex to be a
fulfilled or empowered woman. To
reduce my life to this one act would
be to demean me as a woman and
as a person.
I have made my decision to wait,
I am in control of my sexuality and
I couldnt be more satisfied.

University should
reinstate May tradition
I used to believe that the University
of Kansas History Web site was creat-
ed solely for the Kansans weekly trivia
drawing. My friend really wants to win
the drawing. Shes tried for months,
years even. But I recently found out
that the Web site is interesting aside
from offering a chance at winning a
variety of gift certificates, when I came
across a fascinating part of our past.
In 1891, when our university was
not yet 30 years old, an event occurred
that, during the next 15 years, would
grow into a tradition. This event
was the Maypole Scrap. Every year,
early on May 1, the freshmen would
get together and erect a maypole.
They would then cover the surface
of the pole with tar or molasses or
some other sticky, gross or generally
repulsive substance. Then as campus
started to fill, the freshmen forced
passersby to pay their respects to the
class, and rubbed their faces on the
pole if they refused. Later in the day
the sophomores would get tired of the
young ones insolence, and attempt to
take the pole down. Over the years
the sophomores became more inno-
vative. They corralled the freshmen
with a wire cable, and scared them
from the pole by throwing live snakes,
or flaming bales of hay.
Eventually the juniors would come
to aid the freshmen, the seniors allied
with the sophomores and a massive
campus-wide brawl broke out. This
led to bruises, dislocated arms, and
broken jaws, but continued to hap-
pen. That is until Chancellor Frank
Strong laid the boring hammer down
in 1905 and forced all the classes to
cease their good-natured violence.
The ritual riot was replaced short-
ly thereafter with a lame ceremony
involving white dresses, flower hats
and that pole with streamers on it
from the Safety Dance video. But then
everyone realized it was dumb and
put it down like the Joey spin-off.
Hearing about this made me think
that the closest thing we have today
would probably be the giant inflat-
able funland, straight out of the 90s
classic Blank Check they put out
next to Wescoe when the weather
turns nice. If that isnt aggressive
enough, theres always a highly pas-
sionate yet completely unproductive
shouting match with Brother Jed
Smock on Wescoe Beach.
But there is nothing today as pure
or as boundless and essentially free
as a giant, class-divided brawl. New
activities merely attempting to pla-
cate the spirits of the student body
to yield a generation more numb
than any in recent memory. Which
is why, if asked if I would rather
have another wax replica of my hand
made, or try my hand at dodging
fireballs while engaging in a battle
for the glory of my class, I would ask
if you had a light.

rock concerts and portraits of women.
She said she likes her work to be a bit
different from the mainstream.
I like to be a woman taking pic-
tures of women, giving my eye as
opposed to a males eyes, Ruscin said.
The women that I took pictures of
told me what they wanted to have
pictures of, so they were empowered
as part of the process.
Ruscin said she hoped to provide
history to younger observers of art,
with pictures of activists protesting
the conflict in Iraq during the years
of the Clinton administration.
I hope theyll be inspired to do
some of their own art, Ruscin said.
I hope people leave there thinking,
what do I want to do?

Nuss, who graduated from the
University in 2006 and now works
as the national campus coordinator
for 2020 Vision, which holds events
promoting alternative energies, said
there was another key difference
between his event in 2004 and the
event today: He said he was only
memorializing 1,061 fallen soldiers
in 2004.
It seemed like a large number at
the time and now were three times
that, Nuss said.
Nuss, who now lives in
Washington, D.C., came to Lawrence
Sunday to promote 2020 Vision and
is staying until Thursday, giving him
plenty of time to see the new memo-
rial, he said.
I think its good to continue to
do things like that because unfor-
tunately we dont see how it all adds
up like that except when its a large
milestone like another 1,000 sol-
diers, he said.
Chris Verbeck, Weston, Mo.,
junior, also chalked Monday night.
He heard about the memorial as a
member of Delta Force, but he said
he had an added interest in writing
because he knew a soldier who died
in Iraq.
He said the soldier, Colby Farnan,
was from his small community and
his death had a drastic impact on the
town. Verbeck said hed like to write
Farnans name in the memorial.
Unlike Groeblacher, Verbeck said
the memorial is politically based for
him.
There are all of these deaths and
nothing successful is being carried
out to bring home our troops, he
said.
Another chalker, Sonia
Marcinkowski, Blue Springs, Mo.,
junior, said she thought it was odd
how quickly people responded when
33 people died in the Virginia Tech
shootings, and yet they dont think
about how many Americans have
died in the war. She said writing out
the names in the memorial would
show the cost of war.
It could take a very long time
and I think its important to honor
every one of them, Marcinkowski
said.

Even without weather in the
way, Kansas (22-26, 8-13) was
forced to cancel Monday nights
game against the University of St.
Mary. The game, scheduled for
6:30 p.m., was called off because of
technical difficulties.
New lights were installed
at Hoglund Ballpark while the
Jayhawks were on the road during
the last two weeks. On Monday
morning the lights werent ready
yet.
They were not sure if they
would finish work in time to start
the game, Associate Athletics
Director Jim Marchiony said of the
workers installing the lights.
An attempt was made to resched-
ule the game for earlier in the day,
but St. Mary was unavailable at
an earlier time. Instead, Kansas
has added a game against Bethany
College at 6 p.m. on Wednesday at
Hoglund Ballpark.
While Kansas was away at Texas
Tech and Oklahoma the last two
weekends, workers had time to
replace lights at the ballpark. The
lights were still functional but it
was possible for them to be better.

She led Kansas with a 75.87 stroke

T
itle IX was a landmark
piece of legislation that
gave women the right
to compete in high-level collegiate
athletics. Now it has turned into a
buzzword that can be thrown at any
problem, even non-existent ones.
The NCAA Committee on
Womens Athletics has called for a
ban on allowing men to practice
with womens basketball teams.
A majority of Division-I pro-
grams currently have a group of
men that help out during womens
basketball practices. They keep
players fresh by reducing their
workload, as well as imitating the
size and strength of opponents.
I think its something that has
been very beneficial, said Kansas
coach Bonnie Henrickson. I would
be awfully disappointed if we lost
the opportunity to work with these
young men.
But the NCAA says that these
opportunities should be going to
women, not men. The Committee
has pulled out the Title IX card,
but its so far away from the action
that it cant realize the ban wouldnt
help female players it would hurt
them.
The Jayhawks go up against
players like Oklahomas Courtney
Paris. Shes a towering 6-foot-4, and
in 2006 became the first freshman
to lead the nation in rebounding.
Stunningly, Henrickson cant just
grab an athletic 6-foot-4 woman
off Wescoe Beach and bring her
to practice. All the women who
are physically capable of playing
Division-I basketball are already
doing so. So she invites men like
senior Steven Wallace to come imi-
tate Big 12 competition.
Wallace spent a year and a half
practicing with the Jayhawks.
Kansas has a practice squad of
twelve players, most of whom are
former high school players. They
took turns coming to the teams
six weekly practices, running and
sweating with the team for two
hours. This valuable opportunity
must have paid well, right?
We didnt get anything, Wallace
said. They did our laundry. That
was the biggest perk.
Well, sign me up.
Another benefit is that play-
ers like Wallace can be coached to
resemble a different opponent each
week. If a forward at Baylor always
dribbles to her right, one of the
practice players can spend the week
dribbling to the right.
Over the course of the year
you can have them simulate other
peoples styles, because theyre not
working on their own, Henrickson
said.
Wallace added that it opened his
eyes to just how athletic the players
were.
You try to guard a player like
Shaq Mosley, and shes quicker than
any of the guys that play at the Rec
Center, he said. And she can shoot

Ask a Canadian about sports and
he or she will most likely bring up
hockey. After all, it is the countrys
national pastime. But one native
Canadian is more interested in pur-
suing a football career north of the
border.
It is definitely a dream come
true to go home to Canada and
play football, former University of
Kansas running back Jon Cornish
said in a press release yesterday.
Cornish, who was not selected
in last weekends NFL Draft, has
decided to continue his football
career with the Calgary Stampeders
of the Canadian Football League.
Cornish was drafted in the sec-
ond round of the CFL Draft by
the Stampeders in 2006, but chose
to return to Kansas for his senior
season. The Stampeders remained
interested in Cornish, who agreed
to sign a contract with the team
rather than field
free-agent offers
from NFL orga-
nizations.
He plans
on finishing
his psychol-
ogy degree at
the University
before reporting
to training camp in May.
Cornish may need to make some
adjustments to his new league. In
the CFL, the playing field is 10 yards
longer and nearly 12 yards wider
than the playing field in American
football. Canadian football teams
are allowed 12 players on the field
as opposed to the standard 11-man
American system. In addition,
Canadian teams are allotted only
three downs to obtain a first down
instead of four.
I think playing on a wider and
longer surface will allow me to
utilize my speed better, Cornish
said. The one thing that hurt my
chances in the NFL should be an
advantage in the CFL.
Returning to his native coun-
try should help ease the pressure
of playing professional football.
He hails from New Westminster,
British Columbia, just one prov-
ince away from his new home in
Calgary, Alberta.
Cornish will get a chance to play
close to home when the Stampeders
finish the season by visiting the
British Columbia Lions.
He said he is confident he will
receive plenty of playing time with
his new team and be able to adjust
to the teams offensive scheme.
I feel that I am a very knowl-
edgeable football player, having
learned many things from coach
Mark Mangino and (former Kansas
running backs coach) Earle Mosley,
Cornish said.
Calgary begins its 20-game reg-
ular season on June 15. Regular
season play continues through
November and is followed by a six-
team playoff for the Grey Cup.

Oops, I just lost more than
half of my readers. But those
who like watching the best players
in the best leagues compete against
each other in the worlds most
popular sport should tune to ESPNs
coverage of the Union of European
Football Association (UEFA)
Champions League semi-finals.
European soccer is an incredible
spectacle. These games are excep-
tionally fast-paced, the passing is
clean and the atmospheres are riot-
ous literally. In the quarterfinals,
Manchester United supporters had
to wait an hour and a half inside of
AC Romas arena before they could
leave because of threats to their
safety, and they were still assaulted.
Any visiting fan who traveled to
Rome for a soccer game has my
respect. Thats dedication. These
games are something any soccer fan
has to watch, for the atmosphere, if
nothing else.
Today begins the all-important
second leg of the semi-finals, and
all four teams are stacked with
world-class talent who are really fun
to watch. Those who watched last
summers World Cup closely will
recognize most of the players.
For those unfamiliar with the
rules of the Champions League,
heres a brief summary. In the elimi-
nation stage, each matchup (besides
the winner-take-all final) consists of
two games, one home and one away.
The aggregate total of goals decides
who moves on, with away goals as
the tie-breaker. If the number of
away goals is a tie, the teams go into
overtime. If overtime decides noth-
ing, a penalty shootout will.
Last week during the semi-finals
first leg, Manchester United hosted
AC Milan in an absolute thriller.
United was short-handed with
injuries that plagued its back line,
leaving the Brazilian Kaka, Milans
amazing attacking midfielder, able to
ravish his opponents with his power
and speed.
He scored two incredible goals
in the first half. One left two
Manchester defenders helpless after
they collided into each other in an
attempt to stop Kakas breakaway.
As they converged, Kaka headed the
ball through a tiny space between
them, giving him a relatively easy
finish once they were on the ground
and embarrassed. He owned them
both.
Manchesters Christiano Ronaldo,
the upstart 22-year-old superstar
from Portugal, had an early first-
half goal that left Milan up only 2-1
at the half. With two away goals
already, Milan sat pretty. If the score
remained the same, Manchester
would need two away goals and a
victory during the next leg to even
think about advancing to the final.
As it turned out, Englands
Wayne Rooney scored two sec-
ond-half goals one with only
seconds remaining in the match
to lead his team to a clutch vic-
tory. Rooneys late-game heroics
have forced Milan to win at home
on Wednesday. If he hadnt scored,
Manchester would have been in
Milans situation, forced to win in
Italy in order to advance. What a
difference one goal can make.
The other semi-final features
two English squads: Chelsea and
Liverpool. The first leg saw Chelsea
victorious, as Englishman Joe Coles
goal (set up by a gorgeous run from
Ivory Coast native Didier Drogba)
was the difference in the 1-0 match.
They play again today at 1:30 p.m.
Without an away goal, all the
pressure is on Liverpools defense to
perform at home. If Chelsea scores
even once, Liverpool would need
three goals to overcome the tie-
breaker.
Who will advance to Athens,
Greece, for the final? Only time will
tell. Its anybodys game.

TALLADEGA, Ala. Accept it,
race fans: Dale Earnhardt and Jeff
Gordon were buddies.
The old man respected the kid
and took time to help him adjust to
NASCARs politics. Earnhardt rec-
ognized Gordon as a huge talent
and cherished their on-track battles,
knowing each victory was a win
against a driver destined to go down
as one of the best.
Its fact, yet many Earnhardt fans
choose to ignore it.
They pretend the two drivers were
bitter rivals, two very different men
with nothing in common. No matter
how hard he tries or what he accom-
plishes, Earnhardt fans are adamant
that Gordon simply does not stack
up against The Intimidator.
Turns out, though, that Gordon is
a whole lot more like Earnhardt than
anyone imagined.
Gordon proved it Sunday with
career victory No. 77, which pushed
him past Earnhardt for sixth place on
NASCARs list. It came at Talladega
Superspeedway, where the crowd is
virtually all pro-Earnhardt, and on
the day Earnhardt would have cel-
ebrated his 56th birthday.
The feat was met with a shower of
beer cans thrown from the stands.
The record book will show that
Gordon took the lead with three
laps to go and then won under cau-
tion during overtime. But the victory
seemed destined hours earlier when
he made an Earnhardtesque stand in
the prerace drivers meeting.
NASCAR warned the drivers that
theres a fine line between skillfully
bump-drafting and aggressive driv-
ing. Gordon respectfully disagreed.
In a room packed with his peers, he
spoke with NASCAR president Mike
Helton about the dangers the drivers
were about to face.
I absolutely dont think there is a
fine line, he began. Were not able
to mandate it ourselves. You guys
have to mandate it because weve got
the adrenaline flowing. Were com-
petitors out there trying to win. And
we see one guy push another guy, it
allows us each to continue to do it
more and more and more.
And, yeah, obviously, you cant
do it in the corners, but we still do
it. Even on the straightaways, its
about judging the speed, and were
still wrecking on the straightaways. I
dont think that should be happening
at all. We can make a great, exciting
race out there. And no offense to
your warning, but when you drop
the green, I guarantee were going to
be doing it.
And that, Tony Stewart, is how to
make a point.
Days after Stewart exposed the
sport to ridicule by comparing it to
professional wrestling on his nation-
al radio show, Gordon calmly made
a point to NASCAR that benefited
all 43 drivers in the field.
For a guy who has resisted replac-
ing the voice that was lost when
Earnhardt died in 2001, Gordon cer-
tainly appeared a perfect fit for the
role Sunday.
He insisted after his victory that
too much was being made of his
stand.

Tigers move into second
the ball.
The reaction from other schools
has been the same they oppose
the ban, and are unsure of how
something like this even got started
in the first place.
Its absolutely absurd, new
Duke coach and former Michigan
State coach Joanne McCallie was
quoted as saying. Its got nothing
to do with equity and everything to
do with politics.
The Womens Basketball Coaches
Association is working to keep
male practice players, and claims
overwhelming support from its
members.
Last week the NCAA released
the results of the first comprehen-
sive survey on the issue, which
showed that 205 coaches used male
practice players in 2006. The others
were probably busy climbing a lad-
der to get their basketball out of a
peach basket.
Title IX changed womens sports.
Equality is no longer just in num-
bers. It means that women can
compete at the highest possible
level, and should have the tools at
their disposal to make that possible.
Anything less would be unfair.

The remaining 11 games will
now be played under Musco brand
lights, what Marchiony described as
top of the line and much improved
compared to what the Jayhawks
had been playing under. Although
installment took a little extra time
and sacrificed Mondays game, the
crew putting up the lights worked
diligently.
New poles were not needed, but
putting up new lights wasnt as
easy as simply taking down the old
ones and screwing in new bulbs.
The new lights required new wir-
ing of the light poles, which meant
new trenches needed to be dug to
accommodate the wiring. Workers
finished the process by aiming and
testing the lights.
It takes that long to make sure
they do everything safely and prop-
erly, Marchiony said.
Bethanys trip to Hoglund on
Wednesday will put the lights to
the game-time test for the first time
before Kansas State (27-17, 7-11)
heads to town on Saturday and
Sunday.

ST. LOUIS Rick Majerus got
out of coaching three years ago
because of health concerns. Now
his biggest worry is how long itll
take to put Saint Louis back on the
basketball map.
Still rotund and nearly bald, the
59-year-old Majerus was introduced
at a news conference Monday and
thought his appearance eerily
similar to the schools gnome-like
Billiken mascot. He joked that his
last name means sausage eater, and
said there was no chance of squeez-
ing into the jersey thats standard for
such ceremonies.
It was nice to get the jersey, he
said, even if it doesnt fit.
Majerus said he feels fit and is
ready to take on the challenge of
leading a school that last made it to
the NCAA tournament in 2000.
Im never going to wear a 42
regular, Majerus said. But I swim
one mile every day, and on a good
day a mile-and-a-half. I think my
health is good, or I wouldnt do this.
It wouldnt be fair to them.
Majerus, who agreed to a six-
year contract on Friday, has a career
record of 422-147 with 15 postseason
appearances. He had been an analyst
with ESPN the last three years.
I saw this as an opportunity,
Majerus said. I dont think I forgot
how to do it. I love practice and I
love the kids and I like the game.
The Rev. Lawrence Biondi, the
university president, hired Majerus
to elevate the school to Top 50 status.
Neither Biondi nor Majerus believed
there was a fast track to success.
Rick, I am sure, will tell you
it wont happen overnight, Biondi
said. But it will happen. This is a
truly exciting day for mens basket-
ball.
Majerus got a sneak peek at his
team, which has four returning start-
ers, by conducting a pair of brief
weekend practices.
I just dont know the guys well
enough, Majerus said. You dont
want to panic in these situations. Its
not about this year, its about laying
the groundwork for the program.
If he doesnt know his roster yet,
they know all about him.
I think hes going to move the
program in the right direction, said
forward Luke Meyer. Hes a big
name, and his reputation precedes
him.
Majerus replaces Brad Soderberg,
who won 20 games in the last of his
five seasons but failed to generate
even an NIT bid his last three years.
Soderberg, fired earlier this month,
was 80-74 overall.
Athletic director Cheryl Levick
wanted to give Soderberg one more
season but was overruled by Biondi,
who envisioned the high-profile hire
of Majerus as a complement to the
schools new $85 million on-campus
arena set to open in 2008.
Im a big supporter of Brad, but
that has nothing to do with Rick,
Levick said. Hell take this program
to the next level as we open this new
arena. Its the perfect combination.
Majerus coached Utah to the
NCAA tournament final in 1998, los-
ing to Kentucky, and stepped down
in January 2004 because of health
reasons. He accepted the Southern
California position in December
2004 only to change his mind three
days later.
Last year, he turned down an offer
to become an assistant coach with
the Denver Nuggets.
Nuggets coach George Karl, a
close friend of Majerus, said stay-
ing in the Midwest was a much
wiser choice. Majerus has lived in
Milwaukee, where his mother lives,
while working for ESPN.
I dont think going to L.A. would
have been the right choice, and I
think he knew that the press, the
stress, talk radio.
So far, so good. Fans and students
attending Mondays news confer-
ence cheered wildly when Majerus
entered the room.
Today a new chapter in Billiken
basketball begins with the hiring of
one of the most successful coaches
of all time, Biondi said. Rick is a
coach who lives and breaths basket-
ball and who sees the future of what
we have at SLU.

Murder of Pakistan
coach still unsolved
BY ANDREW O. SELSKY
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico The
top Jamaican policeman investigat-
ing the homicide of Pakistans crick-
et coach said on Monday he has
not confirmed that Bob Woolmer
was incapacitated by a drug before
being stran-
gled.
The British
Broadcasting
Corp. reported
that a toxicol-
ogy test on
Wo o l me r s
body shows
the presence
of a drug that
would have
incapacitated
him.
Mark Shields, the deputy police
commissioner in Jamaica, emphat-
ically said his investigators have
not concluded that Woolmer was
drugged.
No results and we have NOT
confirmed anything, the for-
mer Scotland Yard policeman,
Shields, said in a text message to
The Associated Press from his cell
phone. Work is ongoing.
Woolmer, 58, was found uncon-
scious in his room in Jamaica and
within an hour declared dead in a
hospital on March 18, the day after
his squad was upset by Ireland and
eliminated from the World Cup.
Police said he was strangled.
Shields said toxicology tests
were done in Jamaica and sent
with British police officers to a
government-owned laboratory in
their country, The Forensic Science
Service, to be independently veri-
fied.
Shields has not yet heard back
from the British laboratory. He
would not discuss whether the tox-
icology tests indicated the presence
of a drug that could have incapaci-
tated Woolmer.
An employee who answered the
phone at the laboratorys head-
quarters in Birmingham, England,
after business hours said nobody
was available to comment.
The BBCs Panorama pro-
gram did not identify the drug
or the source of its information,
and said toxicology tests were due
to be given to
Jamaican police
next week.
In London,
Scotland Yard
said it has no
i nf or ma t i on
and that the
i nvest i gat i on
and all inquiries
are being han-
dled by police
in Jamaica.
Shields has
said in the past that foreign investi-
gators would examine theories that
Woolmer may have been drugged.
He said that would have made it
easier to strangle a man as large as
Woolmer, a former England test
batsman.
A lot of force would be needed
to do that, Shields told the BBC.
Bob Woolmer was a large man
and thats why one could argue
that it was an extremely strong
person, or maybe more than one
person, but equally the lack of
external injuries suggests that there
might be some other factors and
thats what were looking into at the
moment.
Security video from the Kingston
hotel where Woolmer died was
sent to a laboratory in Britain for
review. Some images of the footage
were obtained by the BBC.
One image shown on a BBC
Web site showed Woolmer, dressed
in a white T-shirt, talking with two
people as he headed to an elevator
in the Pegasus Hotel in Kingston,
Jamaica, hours before he was killed
in his room. The BBC identified
the two people as fans.
No results and we have NOT
confrmed anything. Work is
ongoing.

Prosecutors say Santi and other
doctors were enlisted by Daniel
McGlone ... to write prescrip-
tions for bodybuilders and other
customers from April 2004 until
August 2006.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
PROVIDENCE, R.I. A former
doctor will plead guilty to illegally
prescribing ana-
bolic steroids
and human
growth hor-
mone to patients
she never met
or examined,
her lawyer said
Monday.
Ana Maria
Santi reached an
agreement with
prosecutors and
plans to plead guilty June 1 to 29
counts of health care fraud, con-
spiracy and illegal drug distribution
in federal court in Providence, said
her attorney, Edward C. Roy.
Its in her best interests, Roy
said.
Prosecutors say Santi and
other doctors were enlisted by
Daniel McGlone, the president
of New Jersey-based American
Pharmaceutical Group, to write
prescriptions for bodybuilders and
other customers from April 2004
until August 2006.
Santi, who was stripped of her
New York medical license in 1999,
forged the signature of a doctor
living in a California nursing home
on the prescriptions she wrote, pros-
ecutors said. She is suspected of
earning $25 for each prescription.
The plea agreement says Santi
wrote prescriptions on behalf of
at least three companies besides
American Pharmaceutical Group.
Prosecutors have agreed to rec-
ommend a reduced sentence for
Santi, but Roy said he did not know
what that would be. Santi also is
awaiting sentencing in New York in
a state case involving similar allega-
tions.
The maxi-
mum prison
sentence for all
29 counts is 155
years.
Tom Connell,
a spokesman for
the U.S. attor-
neys office in
Rhode Island,
declined to
comment on the
plea agreement.
McGlone is charged with adver-
tising steroids and human growth
hormone to bodybuilders and other
customers and then paying doctors
to write unnecessary prescriptions.
He has pleaded not guilty.
Another doctor, Victor Mariani,
pleaded guilty in March for his role.
Prosecutors say that once
McGlone received the prescriptions
from Santi and Mariani, he would
send them to be filled by other
pharmacies, including Orlando,
Fla.-based Signature Pharmacy.
Linked to that case, in various
reports, are a number of sports stars,
including baseballs Gary Matthews
Jr., former heavyweight champion
Evander Holyfield and 1996 Olympic
wrestling gold medalist Kurt Angle.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. Dan
Wheldon heads to Indianapolis
hoping to upstage a bunch of guys
in helmets.
Football helmets, that is. White
ones, with blue horseshoes on the
sides.
Its the home of the Super
Bowl champions, Wheldon said
after winning Sundays IndyCar
Series race at Kansas Speedway.
Hopefully, we can overshadow
them with a great race.
Then Wheldon caught himself
a bit.
Not to take anything away from
the Colts, he said, because I like
the Colts and Peyton Manning,
too.
It would be hard to blame the
Englishman for his confidence.
With two wins and a runner-up
finish in four races and with
the way he dominated the Kansas
Lottery Indy 300 before winning
under caution after a late crash
Wheldon is on a roll headed into
preparations for the Indianapolis
500.
Wheldon already has won there
once, in 2005. But hes not content
to leave it at that, or to spend much
time savoring his first victory at
Kansas Speedway after two close
second-place finishes.
Like Ive emphasized, now we
can start thinking about Indy, said
Wheldon, who led 177 of 200 laps
on Sunday and has led 485 of 700
laps this season for Target Chip
Ganassi Racing. I get excited about
that. Thats the one Im desperate to
try and win.
But is Wheldon, whose 2005 win
came during his championship sea-
son, the favorite this time around?
A lot of people have asked me
that. I think its difficult to say who is
the favorite going into Indianapolis,
he said. Do I think Im going to be
a contender? Absolutely.
False modesty?
Dans not really known for
his false modesty, driver Dario
Franchitti said with a laugh.
Indianapolis is a different type
of track than these 1 1/2 miles,
said Franchitti, who finished a
distant second on Sunday. The
regulations, for sure, are different
run as little downforce as we
want. Im hoping were going to
be a little stronger when it comes
to that race with Andretti Green
cars. I think Dans definitely one
of the favorites.
Wheldon wont be the only
driver returning to the scene of a
victory, though.
Sam Hornish Jr., the defending
IndyCar Series champion, won at
Indy last year on his way to the sea-
son title. Buddy Rice has struggled
this year but has the experience of
winning in 2004.
And Helio Castroneves, who ran
third at Kansas on Sunday, is the
most recent two-time winner with
victories in 2001 and 2002.
I honestly think you could pick
10 to 15 people, Wheldon said.
Thats the thing about Indianapolis.
I mean, it wouldnt be Indianapolis
if it was just one of those races
where three or four people could
win.
And early-season momentum
doesnt always count for much
heading into open-wheel racings
marquee event, as the defending
Indy champion knows all too well.
In 2002, I won two of the first
three races and finished third in the
other one, Hornish said in a tele-
phone interview Monday. Ive been
in the same position as Dan.
Hornish finished 25th in that
race, though.
A month is just such a long
time, he said. You basically have
the first week to be excited, if you
come in as the points leader or win-
ning a lot of races. But after quali-
fying, then its the guy on the pole
who has the momentum.
Obviously, if its the same guy,
then it gives you a lot of momen-
tum.
But with a month to prepare, a
lot can go wrong with a drivers
head as well as his or her car.
Its so long that if one little thing
happens to you even if youre the
points leader, even if you qualify on
the pole it can get in your mind,
he said.

Friends,
teammates
mourn loss
of pitcher
ASSOCIATED PRESS
VESTAVIA HILLS, Ala.
Former high school and college
teammates are mourning the death
of St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Josh
Hancock, who helped Vestavia Hills
High School to three state champion-
ships in the 1990s and was a member
of the Auburn
team that went
to the College
World Series in
1997.
H a n k
Askins, a
Vestavia Hills
teammate and
close friend,
said he had
talked to
Hancock on
Saturday after-
noon. Hancock,
29, died when
his sport-utility
vehicle ran into
a tow truck
that was parked along a highway in
St. Louis early Sunday.
Josh was very upbeat Saturday,
Askins said. He had just had a
new contract negotiated and he was
really happy.
Samford University baseball
coach Casey Dunn was a teammate
of Hancock both at Vestavia Hills
and Auburn.
Josh was a great friend, a great
teammate at Vestavia Hills and at
Auburn, Dunn told The Birmingham
News in a story Monday. This is a
shock. He flew (wife) Marti and me
to St. Louis last season and we spent
some time with him. We talked
often. I was so proud of him.
At Vestavia Hills, Hancock went
28-1 as the school won three straight
Class 6A state championships. He
holds the Alabama High School
Athletic Association record with 27
straight wins (1994-96). As a senior,
he was 9-0 with an 0.92 ERA.
Hancock was an important part
of the 1997 Auburn baseball team
that advanced to the College World
Series. Hancock went 2-0 with a
4.75 ERA in 13 appearances for the
Tigers, striking out 32 in 30 1/3
innings.
Josh was a part of arguably the
best pitching staff and arguably the
best team ever to play at Auburn,
said current Tigers coach Tom Slater,
who was an assistant on the team,
which included Tim Hudson, now
with the Atlanta Braves. It is a
shame when anyone dies, especially
someone as young as Josh, in a tragic
accident.
Dunn remembered taking his
father, the late Vestavia Hills coach
Sammy Dunn, to Atlanta in 2002 to
see Hancocks major league debut.
It was a trip his father, who had
coached Hancock and was battling
cancer, didnt want to miss.
It brings so much pride to all of
us when one of our own can reach
that level, Dunn said.
Funeral services in his parents
hometown of Tupelo, Miss., are
scheduled for Thursday.
