S
o, youve made it.
Welcome to the Uni-
versity of Kansas
and to Lawrence and to The
University Daily Kansan.
This past year has been one
of change for the University.
Weve added new deans and
a new provost to the offices
in Strong Hall. Weve also
added a myriad of faculty to
the various classrooms.
In athletics, Kansas
brought home Big 12 Con-
ference championships in
basketball and softball and
the football team won its first
bowl game since the 1990s.
In general, this year
brought a lot of good fortune
to the University.
Mother nature, though, was not very
kind to this beautiful campus this spring.
If you look around at the roofs, you might
notice workman or missing roof tiles. Trees
that stood for decades are now absent.
A microburst hit in March, causing
classes to be cancelled for a day and caus-
ing about $6 million worth of damage
that is still being repaired.
Then, in April, a hail storm came
through redamaging many of the build-
ings that had only temporary repairs.
The Kansan exists partially as a chroni-
cle of all of these events: The athletics ac-
complishments and natures wrath. Even
on a day without power or computer serv-
ers, the staff of the Kansan will deliver
you something to make you laugh and
smile, or at least to keep you busy in class.
We hope these stories weve put together
give you a head start to your college career.
As we look back at college careers that have
either now ended or are nearing comple-
tion, theres a lot weve learned. Were sure
youll learn just as much and we hope you
enjoy your time here on Mount Oread.
Good luck with your classes and your first
year. Welcome to the family of Jayhawks.

Deciding the future
W
hen students come to the Uni-
versity of Kansas, often hav-
ing just left home for the first
time, it can be overwhelming to face all
the choices that come with enrolling in
classes and picking a major.
For that reason, each student is as-
signed an academic adviser to help stay
organized and make decisions.
When you enter a university its new
terrain, and you need some maps, you need
some guides, Kathryn Nemeth Tuttle, asso-
ciate vice provost for student success, said.
Nemeth Tuttle oversees the Freshman-
Sophomore Advising Center, which is a
part of the office of student success. The
Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center, as
its name would indicate, works with first
and second year students at the University.
Students entering programs that are
through professional schools, like archi-
tecture or engineering, will be assigned an
adviser from their school.
Nemeth Tuttle said that it was important
for students to know they shouldnt just be
going to see their adviser right before they
enroll. She recommends two times per se-
mester at the minimum, although she said
that three would be ideal.
During appointments with their ad-
viser, students can ask questions about
changing and declaring majors, talk about
their academic plan and discuss options
on what classes to take.
The advisers have tools, like the major
sort card game, that can help students
choose a major. In the game, students
take cards with different majors on them
and quickly sort them into piles of yes, no
or maybe.
Its pretty basic, but it really does give
you some good ideas, Nemeth Tuttle said.
Because meeting with an adviser every
time they have a question wont always
be convenient for students, there are also
online resources, career fairs and a majors
fair that is typically held in March.
At www.advising.ku.edu students can
find help from resources like an advising
tutorial, advice on selecting a major and
online advising.
Nemeth Tuttle also recommends talk-
ing with faculty members and visiting the
department Web sites of majors that look
interesting.
Theres a lot of resources out there,
she said.

Hit the books
Late-night cram locations exist on and of campus
By Alissa Bauer
Kansan senior staff writer
E
very once in a while in the life of
us college students, we are forced
to focus solely on the nuisance
otherwise known as school.
Skipping class and sleeping in just
arent an option some days, and when
thats the case students are generally
prompted to do something that ranks
even lower than the actual class itself.
Study.
Not to worry, however, life as a slacker
can continue soon, but first you should
hit a couple of hot spots, kid-tested and
professor-approved, to spend those nights
when studying cannot be avoided.
Anschutz Library and Java Break pro-
vide a service thats becoming increas-
ingly more valuable in the lives of busy
college students. Both places are open 24
hours.
Although only one of Anschutz Li-
brarys four floors is open all night, every
night, the third floor provides a lot of
space, including meeting tables. Patrons
often dont have to tote their own com-
puters with them.
Its like walking into a dungeon,
Milwaukee senior Scott Hansher said of
the quiet zones of Anschutz. If you go
to the third level down its so quiet and
you cant hear people talking.
Hanshers favorite quiet zone is on the
first floor of the library. The only two ar-
eas where talking and cell phones are not
allowed are the north wing of the first
and second floors.
Because of the security and extra staff
required to keep the entire library open
all night, Anschutz Library assistant
Greg Albrecht said it would be impos-
sible for all four floors to be always open.
They are, however, open until midnight,
except for during finals and midterm
week when all four floors are open all
night.
Its amazing. You can go to every
table on every floor and its almost com-
pletely silent, Albrecht said of the li-
brary during finals week.
Not quite as large or as full Java
Break is another student favorite. The 24-
hour coffee shop on 7th and New Hamp-
shire streets is not at a centralized loca-
tion like the library, but is a more laid
back way to get some work done.
While Anschutz houses a snack stand
that serves coffee from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
and again from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., Java
Break serves its famous coffee creations
at all hours, every single day.
Even more important than the cof-
fee, but not as tasty, is the wireless
internet Java Break offers its coffee-
buying customers. Its free for anyone
who purchases a cup of steamy or iced
goodness.
Albrecht said that even libraries were
going digital and that the computers on
the main floor were the biggest draw for
library visitors. Java Break offers just two
community computers for use, but the
booths, couches and chairs in various
little rooms throughout the shop offer an
intimate and comfortable homework and
social setting.
I like the coffee, its open all night
and its a change of scenery, Hansher
said. Friends will meet me there, too.
We can sit there and talk for an hour and
then go back to studying.
Both Lawrence and the campus itself
offer many more study nooks and its
important that each student find a study
location and method that works the best
for them.
When its late and all else fails, the
library remains the tried and true clas-
sic study spot.
It says Im doing something more
important than you right now, Han-
sher said. When you say youre going
to the library people are like Oh sorry!
Ill talk to you later.
Rachel Seymour/KANSAN
Students cram for fnals in Anschutz Library. Students looking for a quiet place to study can always count on the library.
You can go to every table on every foor and its almost completely silent,said Greg Albrecht, Anschutz Library assistant.
Recycling Tip #412
You know it as your empty
water bottle from your workout
at the rec center; we see
polyethylene terephthalate
(PET) 2, a valued recyclable
item.
Plastic can take up to 400
years to break down in a
landfill. Recycling plastic saves
twice as much energy as
burning it in an incinerator.

Five traditions every Jayhawk should know
Kansas Hates Missouri
In 1891, the football teams of the Uni-
versity of Kansas and the University
of Missouri squared off in downtown
Kansas City, Mo., and started what is
now the second-oldest rivalry in Divi-
sion I athletics. This rivalry, unlike most
others in collegiate athletics, has histori-
cal roots stretching back to the days of
Bleeding Kansas, a prologue to the
Civil War where pro-slavery activists
from Missouri and anti-slavery activists
from Kansas would attack each other.
In 1863, Confederate guerrilla William
Quantrill from Missouri attacked Law-
rence and burned most of the city to the
ground, further adding to the historical
hatred between the two schools. Today,
the battleground for this border war has
shifted to the football field and the bas-
ketball court, and the rivalry is still as
deep as ever.
The Rock Chalk Chant
This chant, declared the greatest
college cheer ever devised by Teddy
Roosevelt evolved from a cheer created
by E.H.S. Bailey, a chemistry profes-
sor for the KU Science Club in 1886.
His version, Rah, Rah, Jayhawk was
replaced a year later with Rock Chalk,
Jayhawk, KU, in reference to the natu-
rally occuring limestone here in Kansas
that resembles chalk. The world-re-
nowned Rock Chalk Chant was even
used as a battle cry by troops fighting in
the Phillipines, Cuba, China and even
Europe during World War I. The chant
also made an appearance at the 1920
Olympic Games in Belgium. During
the games, the King of Belgium asked
to hear a typical American college yell
and the assembled American athletes
chose none other than Rock Chalk,
Jayhawk to perform for His Majesty.
The Jayhawk
A mythical bird that takes its name
from the Blue Jay and Sparrow Hawk,
the term Jayhawk first came into
use around 1848. During the 1850s,
the term was used to describe the
fighting factions who sought to make
Kansas a free state or a slave state.
Even though both sides were initially
called Jayhawkers, the free-staters
hung onto the name. By the end of
the Civil War, the name Jayhawk
was a patriotic symbol associated with
those who fought to make Kansas a
free state.
The Alma Mater
Professor George Barlow Penny wrote the
words to the Alma Mater in 1891 for the
Glee and Mandolin Club to sing while
on tour. Borrowing the melody from
Cornell Universitys Far Above Cayugas
Waters, Penny changed a few words,
taught it to the glee club and everybodys
been singing it since. Like the fight song,
the student body sings Crimson and the
Blue before every home football and
basketball game, often while holding onto
the person next to them and swaying from
side to side while singing. Theres three
verses to the song, but only the first verse
and chorus are sung before games.
Crimson and the Blue
Far above the golden valley
Glorious to view,
Stands our noble Alma Mater,
Towering toward the blue.
CHORUS:
Lift the chorus ever onward,
Crimson and the blue
Hail to thee, our Alma Mater
Hail to old KU.
Far above the distant humming
Of the busy town,
Reared against the dome of heaven.
Looks she proudly down.
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Greet we then our foster mother,
Noble friend so true,
We will ever sing her praises,
Hail to old KU.
(REPEAT CHORUS)
The Fight
Song
In 1912,
George
Dumpy
Bowles wrote
the words and
music for the
KU fight song,
Im a Jayhawk for one of his musi-
cal shows. By 1920, the song became
a favorite among students and in
1926, the KU Glee Club performed
the song during its national tour.
In 1958, the words were revised to
include the names of the other Big
Eight Conference schools. Today, stu-
dents still sing the fight song before
every home football and basketball
game, and theres even a hand clap
that goes along with it. But just make
sure to clap on the right beat.
Im a Jayhawk
Talk about the Sooners
The Cowboys and the Buffs,
Talk about the Tiger and his tail,
Talk about the Wildcats,
and those Cornhuskin boys,
But Im the bird to make em weep and
wail.
CHORUS:
Cause Im a Jay, Jay,
Jay, Jay, Jayhawk,
Up at Lawrence on the Kaw.
Jay, Jay, Jayhawk,
With a sis-boom, hip hoorah.
Got a bill thats big enough
To twist the Tigers tail
Husk some corn and listen
To the Cornhuskers wail.
Jay, Jay, Jayhawk,
Riding on a Kansas gale.

efore long, your college utopia
will be interrupted. Youll start to
feel the effects of homework and
sleepless nights: Coughing, a sore throat,
a running nose.
Its no surprise. Theres a valid relation-
ship between stress and illness, said Pa-
tricia Denning, chief of staff at Watkins
Memorial Health Center.
But have no fear. The University of
Kansas and the Lawrence community
are home to numerous walk-in and fam-
ily practice clinics to help you get back on
campus as quickly as possible.
Watkins Memorial Health Center

Robinson Center. Watkins provides re-
duced price services for KU students, in-
cluding pre-paid office visits for students

KU Recreation and Fitness Center makes exercising easy, convenient
By Fred A. Davis
F
or students needing to break away
from the monotony of classes with-
out having to pay a cover or prove
that they are 21, the Student Recreation
& Fitness Center provides
that outlet.
Open since 2003, the
recreation center offers a
variety of exercising op-
tions and exercise classes
in addition to basketball
and racquetball courts.
Located on campus at
1740 Watkins Center
Drive, the recreation cen-
ter is free to all KU stu-
dents. The only require-
ment to work out at the
center is a valid KUID.
Exercise is a part of
the overall educational
process, said Mary
Chappell, director of recreation services.
The multi-level recreation center fea-
tures more than 100 exercise machines,
including treadmills, bikes, elliptical ma-
chines and rowing machines. It also boasts
10,000 pounds of weights and bars. Those
numbers do not include the $100,000 that
will be spent on new equipment in time
for the 2006-2007 school
year.
There are also two in-
door racquetball courts
and four indoor bas-
ketball courts or mul-
tipurpose areas. The
multipurpose areas can
be used for volleyball,
badminton and other
activities. A suspended
indoor track sits above
the multipurpose area.
If yoga or aerobics is
more to your liking, the
Rec Center has more
than 30 exercise class
options that are sched-
uled every day to accommodate busy
class schedules.
The recreation center also has a rock-
climbing wall for those who miss moun-
tainous terrain while living in the flat
lands of Kansas.
The recreation center is open seven
days a week unless otherwise noted and
has hours to accommodate both early-ris-
ers and night owls.
Additional information about the Stu-
dent Recreation & Fitness Center can be
found at www.recreation.ku.edu.
If it is an off-campus workout spot
that you desire, the Lawrence Athletic
Club has two locations, 3201 Mesa Way
and 1202 E. 23rd St. Similar to the KU
recreation center, it also has exercise
and weight equipment. However, LAC
has tanning beds and child care services.
While there is a monthly membership fee
for LAC, the enrollment fee is waived for
KU students.

iversity is more than just a word
at the University of Kansas, its
a way of life. The University has
a diverse student population numbering
more than 29,000 people from various
ethnicities, sexual orientations, geograph-
ic locations and ideological beliefs just
to name a few.
We celebrate diversity in many things,
including different body able status, dif-
ferent socio-economic status and religion
or the lack thereof, said Reuben Perez,
director of the Student Involvement and
Leadership Center the hub for student
groups on campus.
There are more than 500 registered
student groups at the University. Thirty-
six of these, according to the Universitys
diversity Web site, are considered cultural
or ethnic groups.
The University also this year unveiled
plans for the new Sabatini Multicultural
Resource Center. Ground was broken
for the construction of the center earlier
this year and the building is scheduled
to be completed by the fall of 2007. The
building will adjoin the Kansas Memo-
rial Union and provide students with
meeting space, technology and academic
resources. The new center will have the
resources to continue to add inclusive
programming, according to the Office
of Multicultural Affairs January 2006
newsletter.
The concept of diversity has evolved to
encompass more than just skin color and
ethnicity, however. Perez said it was some-
times too convenient to fall back on defin-
ing diversity solely as ethnicity or race. Ev-
ery student is unique and contributes to the
diversity present at the University, he said.
AbleHawks is a student group that
seeks to raise awareness of disability is-
sues and how they affect students. Queers
& Allies exists to provide a social network,
outreach services and an activism outlet
for LGBT students and those who support
them. The St. Lawrence Catholic Campus
Center provides a place of fellowship for
the Universitys Catholic students.
There are so many of these organiza-
tions that it would be impossible to list
here all of the opportunities to expose
oneself to the different ideas and cultures
that exist here at the University.
There are many opportunities to ex-
pand ones definition of diversity at the
University. Diversity can become more
than just a word for every student who
keeps an open mind and strives to under-
stand his or her fellow students.

t employment
By Jason Shaad
C
ollege students need jobs. Its true
for the freshman trying to finance
social activities and the senior try-
ing to start a career.
Before submitting an application, though,
students should consider what exactly they
want from a job. If students want career expe-
rience, they should seek internships with pro-
fessional organizations. Many of the Univer-
sity of Kansas academic departments have
career counselors who can provide students
with a list of available internships.
If money is important, seek a job with
lots of hours and high wages. Such jobs are
hard to come by for college students, but
some jobs pay off more than others. Among
the highest paying jobs that are widely avail-
able to students are jobs in the service in-
dustry, such as retailers and restaurants, said
Ann Hartley, associate director of the Uni-
versity Career Center. Some bartenders and
waitresses can make several hundred dollars
during a single weekend shift. The trade-off
is late night hours. The highest paying ser-
vice jobs cater to the local night life, which
often doesnt end until around 2 a.m.
Of course, if flexibility is as important
as money, students should seek part-time
job openings within the University through
the career services Web site at jobs.ku.edu,
which is updated daily. Campus employers
will usually work around students schedules
and accommodate students who have heavy
academic workloads. Campus jobs can range
from working as a resident assistant in one of
the residence halls to working as a desk at-
tendant in one of the libraries.
Once students determine their motiva-
tion for getting a job, they should start to
seek job openings. For internships, talk to
career counselors.
We recommend that everyone shoot
for at least one internship before gradu-
ation, Hartley said. Its extremely im-
portant to get professional experience
and a job. Some academic departments
maintain job and internship Web sites and
continually update them with new open-
ings. The University maintains a separate
database for full-time jobs and internships,
called KU Career Connections. Access to
the site costs $40, Hartley said, but the fee
pays for all usage through graduation.
All part-time job openings on campus
are listed on the career services Web site.
Applications for these jobs are processed
online, which makes it easy for new stu-
dents who have yet to know their way
around campus, Hartley said. National job
search Web sites, such as monster.com and
careerbuilder.com can be helpful, too, but
they dont usually contain as many local
listings as academic departments.
For service industry jobs with restaurants
and retailers, start looking for openings in the
shops along Massachusetts Street in down-
town Lawrence. Many of the citys clothing
retailers, restaurants and bars are located in
the downtown area. At most places its best
to just walk in and inquire about possible job
openings, Hartley said. Other businesses will
post job openings in the classified section of
the Universitys daily student newspaper, The
University Daily Kansan.
Once students have determined where
to apply, they should start submitting ap-
plications early.
Hartley said some students wait too long
to follow-up with an employer or they dont
provide enough information to distinguish
themselves from other applicants.
They get a big pool of applicants, so
its important to put as much detail and
information into the application as you
can, she said.
Jobs, of course, arent for everyone. Some-
times in an effort to finance college expenses,
students reduce their coursework. This can
alleviate some of the pressure of school and
work, but over the long run, it can also require
students to spend an extra semester or two in
school in order to finish their degree.
Students need to balance work and
school, Hartley said. We recommend
that incoming freshmen wait to see how
the first semester goes with their course
load and grades before getting a job.

t GREEK LIFE
By Rachel PaRkeR
F
or students who want to spice up
their college experience, the Uni-
versity of Kansas fraternities
and sororities might have a lot to offer.
The Universitys greek system is more
than 130 years old, consists of 40 chap-
ters and more than 3,500 undergraduate
students. In fact, 20 to 22 percent of the
undergraduate population is greek.
The greek community strives to pro-
mote four basic pillars of values: leader-
ship, academic excellence, community
service and brotherhood and sisterhood.
Leadership opportunities are available
for students who want to be chapter of-
ficials or part of the greek councils. The
Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life has
many positions for students to represent
the greek community.
Academically, greek students main-
tain a certain GPA set by their chapters.
Students who excel can be part of the Or-
der of Omega program, a national greek
honor society that recognizes the nations
top 3 percent.
Each chapter commits to different
philanthropies to fulfill community
service, where students are involved in
raising money for national and local
organizations. One of the biggest phi-
lanthropies is The House that Greeks
Built, an activity where students labor
and benefit the Lawrence Habitat for
Humanity by building a house. The
project that averages nearly $50,000.
The greek system is currently working
toward building its fourth house, after
finishing its third house in 2003.
Greek students also talk about the life-
long friendships they make through their
involvement with their brothers and sister
Greek life ofers community, service, connections

ity which performed an

is an annual event that
about 10 sororities and
fraternities participate
in to raise money for
charity.

involvement with their brothers and sisters.
Because they join chapters based on their
interests, and usually live in a chapter house
with many others, tight bonds are formed.
Students involved in greek life par-
ticipate in different beneficial events and
programs throughout the school year in-
cluding a blood drive, intramural sports, a
theatrical Rock Chalk Revue, and week-
end retreats like Greek Advance. Students
in these programs become more involved
with their chapters, and they increase
their interaction with the University and
the rest of the students.
Students are informed about recruitment
for fraternities and sororities at freshman ori-
entation. There are three different councils
that represent the KU greek system: Interfra-
ternity council (IFC), Panhellenic Council
(PHA), and National Pan-Hellenic council
(NPHC). These councils hold leadership po-
sitions for the greek students, as well as com-
municate with the national organizations.
Recruitment is a different process for each
of the councils and their chapters. The IFC,
which represents 20 campus fraternities,
holds a summer formal recruitment for men,
and an informal recruitment during the rest
of the academic school year.
The PHA, which represents 13 campus
sororities, holds an 8-day recruitment process
for women during the first week of school.
The NPHC, which represents 7 historic
African-American and recently Latino fra-
ternities and sororities, holds an informal re-
cruitment all year for men and women that
already have college credit. Informational
sessions are also available for interested stu-
dents at the beginning of the school year.
Men and women interested in learning
more about the Universitys greek system
should refer questions to the Office of Fra-
ternity and Sorority Life.

Lawrence ofers
fun music scene
From downtown to residence halls,
students cant escape music-soaked culture
t entertainment
By natalie Johnson
Y
ou cant separate Lawrence from
its music.
Music is the citys pride, en-
tertainment and soul. Lawrences in-
habitants live in a music-soaked, music-
cloaked world. Music leaks from venue
doors and blasts from open residence hall
room windows.
Streetcorner saxophone and guitar
players provide a soundtrack to downtown
evenings. Music is on the radio, picked up
from various Kansas City and Topeka sta-
tions and from the student-run KJHK, a
lesson in eclecticism via airwaves. Fliers
for wanted drummers and bassists cluster
on bulletin boards, haphazardly pinned
over layers and layers of glossy concert
posters, open mic night ads and neon DJ
fliers. In September 2005, Spin magazine
called Lawrence the always-dependable
indie rock haven, but the city has a lot
more than indie rock.
Countless venues around town hosts a
variety of music events on a nightly ba-
sis.
There are open mic nights, poetry
readings and karaoke. There are scores
of local bands and frequent famous ones.
Most shows cost $5 or less, and many are
for 18-and-over patrons.
For example, in a given week, the Jack-
pot Saloon, 943 Massachusetts St., has
16 bands, a DJ, and a variety night all
for an 18-and-over audience. The highest
Kansan fle photo
cover for the week is $6. The Granada,
here since 1928 at 1020 Massachusetts
St., hosts live music nearly every night,
always for those under 21, with tickets
between $5 and $20. Past bands there
have included Something Corporate,
Phantom Planet and
Tech N9ne.
Liberty Hall, 642
Massachusetts St., is
usually a movie the-
ater, but about three
times a month turns
into a large venue for
concerts, said man-
ager Rob Fitzgerald.
Liberty Hall rents the
1000-seat venue to
concert promoters around town.
Lawrence has a great climate for bur-
geoning artists too. Jared Gabel, 2004
graduate, started his band Gryphyn in
2003. He practiced with a few friends,
and started playing with another band
at the Jazzhaus, a well-known venue at
926 1/2 Massachusetts St. Gabel says
being in a band in college was a great
experience. Sometimes I should have
been studying, he said. But it was
awesome to be out partying, at a club,
and sometimes people would recognize
you.
Mike Tiffany is a promoter for Hunt
Industries, a local music promotion
company. Tiffany said he finds sup-
port for various kinds of music here.
We do everything from country to hip
hop to metal to rock, he said. Its a
very friendly place to music. Youve got
downtown, with five main venues in
three blocks.
Downtown is just
the beginning for the
Lawrence music scene.
The University of Kan-
sas Lied Center offers
dozens of productions
annually right on cam-
pus. On the books for
the fall are two guest
dance companies, two
musicals, two cham-
ber music concerts and a string quartet
piece about civil rights leaders. The
University also has an excellent music
program that offers frequent concerts,
symphonies and opera.
Lawrence is a haven for those who
know a lot about music and an educa-
tor for those who dont. Whether you
like going to concerts three times a
week, or prefer your music to be in the
background, Lawrence music fits the
bill.
Lawrence is one of the great scenes.
People are more aware of whats going
on. People are more supportive, Tif-
fany said.
Sometimes I should have
been stuyding, but it was
awesome to be out party-
ing, at a club, and sometimes
people would recognize you.

t nightlife
By lindsey Ramsey
I
ts Thursday night at 7.
The perpetual question is plagu-
ing you. To go out or to stay in? Do
I want a quiet night or a crazy one?
Every week for three days yes,
the weekend starts on Thursdays
this question haunts students. No
matter your decision, Lawrence has an
answer to all nightlife dilemmas. With
so many options, our little college
town is a veritable goldmine of ways
to avoid studying.
Lawrence is small enough to have
a friendly, community vibe, while be-
ing big enough to have a variety of
bars, shows, scenes and opportunities.
You start to become familiar with the
regulars and yet there are always new
people to meet, said Craig Beeson,
Loma Linda, Calif., graduate student.
Not so fast, young one
Oh, the exquisite
pain of being under-
age in a college town.
It may seem everyone
around you is getting
wasted and therefore
getting laid, but its
just not true. Fun can
be had without alco-
hol and those MIPs
are getting so expen-
sive you should do yourself a favor
and play by the rules at least some
of the time.
One of the best bets for younglings
who still want to see and be seen is
the Granadas, 1020 Massachusetts
St., 80s night, Neon. Every Thurs-
day night at 9, hipsters and those that
follow them all go to Neon to relive
a time when spandex and legwarmers
were a good thing but youll prob-
ably see them in full force even though
their time has come
and gone.
If your music tastes
tend toward the top 40
and youve just got to
dance, theres always
Liquid, 806 W. 24th
St. When dancing gets
tiresome, a Two for
Tuesday buy one
get one free night,
or any night for that matter, at Liberty
Hall, 644 Massachusetts, is always a
good idea. The movie theatre shows
mostly art-house fare and makes for a
great date. Liberty Hall is also a prime
venue for concerts, which arent al-
ways 21 and over.
But sometimes a drink is in order.
Beth Breitenstein, Overland Park ju-
nior, said if there was one thing she
missed about being underage, its find-
ing fun house parties. The student
ghetto, the neighborhood between
Ohio and Kentucky streets, might as
well charge a cover for all the enter-
tainment a person can get by just walk-
ing the streets on a Saturday night.
I can usually be found at parties
at my friends places. Thats life when
youre not 21, said Brady Blevins,
Hutchinson sophomore.
When your time finally comes
When the ID finally reads legal, Law-
rence becomes a Mecca, full of watering
holes and venues to fit any taste. The
nightlife is concentrated downtown along
Massachusetts Street, but there are bars
all over town where crowds can disperse.
One area that deserves atten-
tion is not-so-widely known as the
Tennessee Triangle, or the merry-
go-round that is Bull-Hawk-Wheel.
Lawrence nightlife offers wide variety
Kansan fle photo
Drinking in the bars is a popular activity among college students, but Lawrence ofers more weekend fun for students who either dont enjoy noisy bars or are under 21.
I can usually be found at
parties at my friends plac-
es. Thats life when youre
not 21.
Brady Blevins
Hutchinson sophomore
These three drinking establishments
have become a rite of passage for KU
drinkers.
Its an experience to hang out with
all the frat/sorority/beginning college
students. Its one aspect of the college
scene that you know will be filled
with KU students that are excited to
be there, Beeson said.
Those wishing to avoid the crowds
these places accumulate head down-
town where there are more places for
the hordes to go.
A Thursday favorite is Louises
Downtown, 1009 Massachusetts St.,
where $1.75 Schooners tempt a diverse
crowd. For some Irish luck, European
wannabes head to Red Lyon Tavern,
944 Massachusetts St., for imported
brews and free popcorn. And hip
smokers find sanctuary at The Replay
Lounge, 946 Massachusetts St., with
its large outdoor smoking porch, pin-
ball machines and Pabst Blue Ribbon.
The possibilities are almost endless.
Stay Classy
So Lawrence has a lot of bars.
But where can you take a date in
this town? Somewhere you dont
have to wrestle with crowds or sub-
ject yourself to vomiting girls.
There are some places where a little
class can carry the night, if you are
willing to spend a little more for your
spirits. The Bourgeois Pig, 6 E. Ninth
St., provides quiet corners for a coffee
or glass of wine.
Its filled with free spirits and open
minds. Other bars are like a meat
market but at this bar, you can be
yourself, said Bourgeois Pig patron
Vera Ackerly. If wine is your plea-
sure, Quintons Bar and Deli has wine
nights every first and third Thursday
of the month. Manager Greg Mann
says it gives people the opportunity
to dress up and do something unusual
for the night. Quintons wine nights
offer a taste of five wines some red,
some white and a glass of your fa-
vorite, all for $10.
Other places that can offer a bit of
refinement to your nightlife include
Henrys On Eighth, 11 E. Eighth St.,
The Jayhawker at The Eldridge Hotel,
701 Massachusetts St., and Tellers,
746 Massachusetts St. All are ideal
for dates or nights when you just cant
stand the thought of another Bud
Light.
No matter your poison, Lawrence
delivers. From Massachusetts to the
student ghetto, students find many
different ways to drink or dance them-
selves into oblivion.

Downtown atmosphere unlike others
Downtown Lawrence ofers a unique blend of tradition, history with restaurants, stores
By nicole Kelley
I
f you take a stroll down Massachu-
setts Street on a nice day its not un-
common to run across a large array of
interesting activities taking place. From
someone playing a saxophone on the
corner, to a group of teenagers playing
hacky-sack on the sidewalk, to a family
out and about doing their shopping, the
downtown Lawrence area never fails to
provide a strong sense of community.
The downtown atmosphere is one of
the most unique aspects of Lawrence.
The city has preserved this historical area
and made it one of the places people take
the most pride in and love most about
Lawrence.
Kelli Martin, Pratt sophomore, said
her favorite thing to do downtown is just
walk up and down the street with friends
after a nice dinner.
The whole environment is relaxing
and everyones always friendly, she said.
Almost anything a person needs could
be found downtown, including places to
eat and shop and art galleries to see.
Restaurants
The restaurants that are found down-
town range from ethnic Thai and Hispan-
ic foods to good old American barbecue
and hamburgers.
Matt Toplikar, KU graduate, said
downtown provided a great date atmo-
sphere because of all the restaurants. He
suggested getting some dinner and then
going to see a movie at Liberty Hall, 642
Massachusetts St.
For me its really kind of what makes
Lawrence special. Otherwise I think Law-
rence would be just like a lot of other
towns, he said.
A lot of the restaurants that are found
downtown are locally owned giving the
community a special feeling. The city has
been able to keep a lot of the big-name
commercial businesses out of the area as
a way to preserve its remarkable history.
Shopping
Shopping downtown is a big attraction
for most people. Whether youre in the
market for clothing, antiques, jewelry or
books, the stores downtown have it all.
One of the qualities that make shopping
downtown a fun experience is the open
and free environment of each individual
store.
Students can take a relaxing stroll, grab a bite to eat or go shopping while visiting downtown.
For daytime fun downtown Lawrence hosts gallery walks on four Fridays a year. Each event is free to the community. Students can also hit the local cofee shops and
restaurants while on Massachusetts Street.
I think they like downtown the most
because its not inside and when its nice
outside they can walk up and down the
sidewalk and go from store to store, said
Mindy Burton, employee at Jocks Nitch
Sporting Goods, 837 Massachusetts St.
On Thursday nights many of the
stores stay open later, until 8 p.m. Bur-
ton said this was nice because it gave
families an opportunity to shop together
after work.
Culture
The city of Lawrence is known for its
relaxed, laid-back artistic attitude. The
center of a lot of this activity is the down-
town area and its many art galleries.
Sheila Wilkins, manager of Fields
Gallery, 712 Massachusetts St., said her
shop had been a part of the community
for more than 40 years. She said a store
like her gallery gave local and regional
artists a place to display their original
artwork.
Four Fridays a year, the downtown
area hosts a gallery walk. This event is
free to the community and allows people
to come together and celebrate the arts
in Lawrence. About twelve galleries stay
open later than normal business hours
so participants can walk to each one and
see special exhibitions and demonstra-
tions by the local artists.

No need to scream for ice cream
Choose from a plethora of ice cream vendors to satisfy all types of midnight munchies
by Malinda Osborne
O
n Massachusetts Street, you need
not walk more than two blocks to
encounter a purveyor of ice cream.
In fact, corporate and local chains fill the
city landscape from every corner with each
one taking pride in its super premium ice
cream whatever that means.
With such an extensive list of ice cream
places to choose from, a person can eas-
ily get lost among the choices for mix-ins
and cones. Here is a breakdown of what
some of the local ice cream parlors bring
to the chilled mixing table.
Sylas and Maddys 1014 Massachu-
setts St. This locally owned family busi-
ness appeals to the taste buds and the ears
with flavors like Rock Chocolate Jayhawk
chunks of fudge and brownies or Peanut
Butter Freak Resees peanut butter cups
and chocolate. Manager Jacob Mitchell also
noted the difference between other stores ice
cream and Sylas and Maddys is that their ice
cream contains 14 percent cream compared
to the normal 10 to 12 percent at other stories,
making the ice cream, well, creamier. The
best part, however, is that they deliver. You
actually have to order it from Wheat State
Pizza, but for $3.99 a pint or $6.99 a quart,
you dont even have to move more than a few
feet. Truly that is the definition of gluttony.

Coldstone Creamery 647 Massachu-
setts St. The 16 flavors offered make deci-
sions on what to order easy at first, but then
there are the assorted mix-ins. If the frenetic
mushing and pounding action doesnt mes-
merize you, then the singing might. Servers
must sing when they receive a tip. Manager
Scott Self said auditions occasionally were
held for applicants, just to make sure they
could carry a tune. The best night to stop by?
Wednesday, which is College Night where
you can buy one and get one free. For the
truly desperate college students, they can
sign up for the birthday program by picking
up a card at the store or registering on the
companys Web site. On your proven birth-
day No this is not the Hawk, an id is re-
quired they store will send you a coupon
for free ice cream via e-mail.
Ben and Jerrys 818 Massachusetts St.
Sure its a national chain but it still seems to
fit in with the neighbors just fine. Already after
opening in January, owner Jason Harris said
the store had partnered with the Lawrence
Art Center for an event and also sponsored
the Law-
rence High
School film fes-
tival. Call them
ice cream jockeys
that care though
they dont care about your
waistline. In fact, one of its new-
est flavors this year is Black & Tan, which
features chocolate and cream stout ice cream.
And you thought a pint of Guinness had a
lot of calories.
Sheridans 2030 W. 23rd St. The
Overland Park-based chain takes a differ-
ent path and goes the custard route. This
differs from ice cream in that its smooth-
er and thicker, served about 25 degrees
warmer than ice cream and contains less
air, 10 to 20 percent versus 50 to 90 per-
cent in ice cream. The concretes are the
main attraction but the shakes, floats and
malts are nothing to sneeze at either.
Dairy Queen 1835 Massachusetts St.
If you prefer your ice cream to be soft,
then Dairy Queen remains the place to beat.
Its blizzards continually please any palate
or sweet tooth craving. The pre-made cakes
come in quite handy too for when youre in
a pinch on a friends unexpected birthday.
Baskin Robbins 1524 W. 23rd St.
This chain has been around so long it has
reached the ridiculous concoction stage in an
attempt to lure more customers. Point in case
its Nutty S Mores Cappuccino Blast. This
takes Rocky Road ice cream blended with
coffee and marshmallow topping, topped
off with chocolate and graham cracker crust.
No matter what, though, you cant go wrong
with any of the original 31 flavors. Just dont
bother going on your birthday, free 2.5 ounce
scoops are limited to 13-year-olds and young-
er. Whatever.

With multiple ice cream vendors,
students wont have to worry about not fnding
an ice cream shop theyll love during their college
experiences.

Students who live in Oliver Hall
have their own cafeteria as well as the
Ozone, a dining area that offers Hot
Stuff Pizza and Summit Subs.
GSP-Corbin residents may use any
of these facilities, but have a cafeteria
available on-site.
KU Cuisine meal plans are accept-

The cash rates for a cafeteria meal are
currently $6.50 for breakfast, $7.50
for lunch and $9 for
dinner, according
to data provided by
Karen Feltner, Din-

nator.
Available meal
plans differ with
the students status
at the University.
Residents in the Jay-
hawk Towers can purchase the small-
est meal plan: three meals a week and
$500 in KU Cuisine Cash.
The cash can be used at any of the
on-campus food shops, including the
Underground in Wescoe Hall and the
Market in the Kansas Union.
Upperclassmen in the residence
halls can purchase six meals a week,
with $400 in Cuisine Cash.
Freshmen are more limited in their
options, having the
option to purchase
nine, 12 or 15 meals

estled and tucked quietly in
north Kansas City, nearly un-
detected from anyone outside
Platte County, lies the Zona Rosa neigh-
borhood. Zona Rosa offers upscale en-
tertainment, shopping and dining experi-
ences in Kansas City, Mo.
Located at the intersection of I-29 and
Barry Road, Zona Rosa is Spanish for
pink zone. It is modeled after a suburb
in Mexico City, Mexico, which is one of
the nations biggest cultural and commer-
cial tourist destinations. The name comes
from many of the buildings in the Mexico
City district that were various shades of
pink during Zona Rosa peak in the 1960s.
Not as well known as the other chic
Kansas City shopping districts such as
the Country Club Plaza, The Legends,
Town Center, and Westport, Zona Rosa
opened in May 2004. The neighborhood
has seen the growth of the area increase
every year since its opening.
The 45-minute trip to Zona Rosa from
Lawrence will make every KU student
contemplate whether it is worth the trip.
But the retail venue has 68 retail busi-
nesses which include a variety of differ-
ent stores such as Helzberg Diamonds,
Sharper Image, Abercrombie & Fitch to
Build-A-Bear and New York Company.
Besides shopping, visitors to Zona
Rosa can dine at restaurants, such as the
Hereford House, Bo Lings and Mimis
Cafe. If you get tired from the shopping
and eating, visitors can get massages at
the Avalon Salon and Spa. Patrons can
also enjoy a movie or listen to comedians
at the The Majestic.
Edward Thomas, Kansas City junior,
said that Zona Rosa was one the nicest
shopping districts in the Kansas City area.
Zona Rosa presents a nice casual at-
mosphere. Its a place where you can en-
joy the weather and you dont have that
enclosed feeling that you have with malls,
Thomas said.
Zona Rosa also has residential loft-
style apartments that can be rented and
has a small childrens park in the center
of the neighborhood.

This nondenominational chapel is a popular

chapel annually, and more
than 5,000 couples have
married here since its
dedication on
April 2, 1946.
The chapel was built by
German POWs who were cap-
tured and held in Lawrence
during WWII.
Constructed in 1924, Watson holds
more than 2 million volumes, accumulates
80,000 new books a year and averages 2,500
daily visitors. The library is named for Carrie
Watson, who graduated fromthe University in
1877 and was KUs librarian from1887 to 1921.
On April 20, 1970, amidst the political
unrest of the VietnamWar, an unknown
arsonist started a fire in the sixth floor restroomof
the Kansas Union and it quickly burst through
the buildings roof. The blaze
occured during the Days of Rage,
and caused almost one million dollars in
damage.
A rampant KU myth says that the gray eyesore that is Wescoe Hall was meant to
be a parking garage. Actually, in 1967 Wescoe was designed to be a 25-story
skyscraper that would have been the tallest building in Kansas and the
third-tallest educational building in the country. When the
University ran short of funds, administrators decided to finish
the building with only four floors, which earned it the
affectionate name, Wescoe Hole.
Fraser Hall is the highest point on campus and its two
flags, the American flag and the University flag, can
be seen more than five miles away from campus.

Dangers exist
in the world
of facebook
Take precautions when sharing personal information
BY ERIC JORGENSEN
Kansan senior sta writer
F
acebook.com has reached a plateau
few other Web sites have. It reached
the popularity point to where its
name has been turned into a pseudo-verb.
It is common to hear students say, Lets
facebook it.
As last years seventh most-visited Web
site, it serves as a networking, communica-
tion and entertainment resource for college,
and, most recently, high school students. It
has the ability to help students kill hours of
boredom. However, it also poses threats to
a students privacy and could bring trouble
with the law.
Facebook.com is fun, but there are some
precautions to take, as is true with most
Web sites.
The only thing a student needs to ac-
cess facebook.com through the University
of Kansas is a valid KU e-mail address.
From there they can create a profile. This
profile can list everything from their sexual
orientation to birthday to favorite movies.
Not to mention members can have count-
less pictures of them and their friends in
photo albums.
Some students choose to put their ad-
dress, phone number, class schedule, work
place and e-mail address on their profile.
The backlash is obvious. Any person with a
computer can get a hold of someone at any
hour of the day.
Kyle Shook, Coffeyville sophomore,
said he did not put his address on his profile
in order to avoid solicitors or anyone want-
ing to play a prank on him.
That way no one will come banging on
my door, Shook said.
One thing to note is that only students
from the same school can view each oth-
ers profile, unless they are friends with
someone at another school.
In these cases, the easy way to avoid
stalking and to maintain ones privacy is to
not include this type of information. This
is the same advice students have heard for
years. Facebook.com also provides an op-
tion to block all non-friends from viewing
your profile.
Sarah Hogan, Eagan, Minn., junior, has
been on facebook.com for two years. She
used to have her phone number listed on
her profile. One night a random guy called
her and wanted to meet up with her. She
took her phone number off the Web site af-
ter the incident. She said women needed to
be careful when it came to disclosing infor-
mation that could draw predators.
You dont know what creepy people are
looking at your profile, Hogan said.
However, with facebook.com, there is
one more thing to consider. As The Uni-
versity Daily Kansan reported this past
semester, employers are looking at face-
book.com, too. Some employers look at
a students profile to gather information
as to what type of person they think the
student is. They read the about me, and
other sections to try to determine if the
student has a party lifestyle and drinks
excessively or uses drugs.
Shook said if he ever applied for an on-
campus job, he would take down all his in-
criminating photos and anything vulgar in
his profile.
It was also reported that police were
looking at pictures on facebook.com and
searching for underage students who were
drinking. They also were reportedly going
into the events portion of the Web site to
look for upcoming parties. From there they
would look for minors who had RSVPd to
the party. Then, the police would suppos-
edly go to these parties with heavy under-
age attendance.
Student athletes also should closely
monitor what they include in their profiles.
This past semester, the Kansas Athletics
Department started looking at its athletes
profiles. Officials looked for anything de-
faming toward the athlete or athletic de-
partment. Whether it was a picture of an
athlete drinking or negative remarks about
a coach or trainer, the department told the
athlete to remove it.
Current student athletes advised fu-
ture athletes to be careful with what they
uploaded onto the Web site. Some recom-
mended not joining at all, saying soon they
thought the department would not allow
athletes to have them.
If you want to join facebook.com at the
University, then go for it. However, take
precautions in what you put in your profile.
You never know who might see it.
t beauty
Stay golden
Keep that summer tan year-round
by alissa bauer
T
annings popularity reaches new
levels with each passing day. What
has now become a $7 billion indus-
try, the quest to be bronzed and beautiful is
a trend that has taken Lawrence by storm.
Girls or guys, student or professional,
the tanning craze dips in to a wide variety
of demographics proving that spending
15 minutes every few days napping in a
canopy bed of lights isnt just a girl thing.
A lot of businessmen come in to get
that more professional look and college
guys too, I think, are starting to realize that
appearance does matter, said Jenny Peck,
Lawrence Celsius Tannery manager.
Although the primary goal is to obtain
the Of course I lay around on the beach all
day, dont you? look, others tan simply for
the pleasure of feeling the imitation sunlight
enveloping their bodies, while some even use
the high-watt bulbs to clear up acne.
Maggie McCoy, Winfield senior, said
that Body Boutique was her favorite tan-
ning salon. One of 12 Lawrence tanning
salons, Body Boutique houses a wing of
tanning beds within its health club and sa-
lon, created for womens use only.
McCoy liked it for the inexpensive, un-
limited package the salon offered while
she was getting ready for a special occa-
sion that she knew would be enhanced by
a natural looking tan.
The habit can become quite pricey,
especially depending on the tanners
bed of choice. One session can range to
as little as a $4 trip in a level one bed
and can get all the way up to a $30 per
session in a high pressure, UVB-block-
ing bed.
Celsius Tannery, for example, uses Ul-
tra Bronze technology that can block up to
99.7 percent of the UVB exposure, known
as the burning ray, making it less likely to
burn the skin compared to a level-one bed.
The company refers to its beds as high-
pressure beds, instead of Ultra Bronze.
Were not going to say that its safer
because its not proven one way or the
other, Peck said. There is a less likely
chance that youll burn in a high pressure
bed than a low pressure one.
With 800,000 cases of skin cancer di-
agnosed every year, making it the most
prominent form of cancer according to the
American Cancer Society, that technology
that takes away the burn may be worth the
extra cost.
But even with the no-burn alternative
offered, for some the risk is still too much
to overcome. The American Cancer Soci-
ety claims that those who tan frequently
before the age of 35 are eight times as
likely to develop skin cancer
Its cancer filled so I dont even go at
all anymore, McCoy said.
For those not willing to give up
their island-dwelling look, spray tans
are also becoming more popular. The
tanner stands in a type of shower that
basically just drenches the body in a
fake tanning lotion. Usually, the spray-
on tans take 24 hours to mature on the
skin and dont last as long as being un-
der the lights, but its a safe alternative
to stay tan.

Several options for tanning exist in the Lawrence
area including standard beds, stand-up beds and Mystic
tanning, which is a UV-free spray-on tan. Maggie Morris,
KU graduate, uses a standard tanning bed at Sunkissed
Tanning, 2540 Iowa St. to build a base tan at the begin-
ning of the summer.

No car, no bike, no scooter, no problem
Buses provide cost efective way to get to campus
By Kristen Jarboe
G
etting around campus and
Lawrence can be difficult as a
freshman. But the bus system,
known as KU on Wheels, and the Park-
ing Department offer many options for
students.
For next year, four new buses will be
available for the Park and Ride system.
The route is an express loop from the Park
and Ride lot to the main campus and back.
The buses run from 7 a.m. to 10:30 p.m.
Donna Hultine, director of the park-
ing department, said the buses will be low
floor accessible and a bus pass is not re-
quired. They will be air-conditioned and
will burn cleaner air.
They should help alleviate traffic con-
gestion on the main campus, Hultine
said. For freshmen living off campus,
Park and Ride is the only option available.
For those living in the dorms, students
who drive a car can purchase a parking
permit for their residence halls lot. Next
year, permits can be mailed to a students
house instead of waiting in a line in August
to pick them up.
The lines are long and the garage is
hot, Hultine said. Mailing permits direct-
ly to students really reduces our work load
we have to also sit outside and serve
the long lines. This option delivers the
permit right to your specified mailing ad-
dress so you can cross this off of the long
list of things you must do at the beginning
of the fall semester.
The deadline for the mailout option is
July 14 and can be accessed through the
Kyou portal.
KU on Wheels is managed and oper-
ated through the Universitys Student
Senate. To ride the bus, next year students
can purchase bus passes at the Park-
ing Department, or pre-order their pass
through the optional campus fees tab
while enrolling. They also have the option
of paying $1 per ride. The buses are oper-
ated between 7 a.m. and 11 p.m. Monday
through Friday.
A bus pass entitles you to unlimited
rides on the KU on Wheels bus system for
the life of the pass, Jessica Mortinger, KU
on Wheels transporation coordinator, said.
Student bus passes cost $140 annually
or $75 per semester and $30 for the sum-
mer.
Riding the bus means students dont
have to hunt for a parking spot or pay for
all the fuel it takes to drive around lots
looking for a place to park, Mortinger
said
KU on Wheels and the Academic
Achievement and Access Center also op-
erate a paratransit service called LiftVan
in order the meet the needs of students
with disabilities. It operates during the
same hours as the other buses. Mortinger
said LiftVan is available for academic-re-
lated activities, such as attending classes,
purchasing books for class and studying
at the library.
An online list of route times and map
can be found at www.ku.edu/~kuwheels/
bussystem/routemaps.html.
Students who do not have a car and
who need to get around Lawrence can
use the Lawrence Transit System, known
as the T. It has eight fixed routes. Bus
route information can be found at various
Lawrence locations, such as any Hy-Vee
grocery store, various banks or City Hall.
Students can also find out information on
routes at www.lawrencetransit.org or by call-
ing 312-7054.

K
eith Breedlove has been working on
cars since he was a high school stu-
dent in Oskaloosa, working as an
attendant at a mom and pop gas station.
Breedlove, who lives in Lawrence and
is in his tenth year as service manager at
Greg Tire, 1226 E. 23rd Street, thought
he had seen it all when it came to car
maintenance problems. But even Breed-
love was astounded when a man came in
with a vehicle he had recently purchased
that had a locked engine.
The man had bought the car earlier
that year and drove it for 50,000 miles
without changing the oil. The oil had lit-
erally turned solid, Breedlove recalls.
According to Consumer Reports, Ameri-
can car owners spend about $2 billion a year.
Even for financially strapped college stu-
dents, it is important to set aside money for
a maintenance budget. Simple preventative
maintenance, such as properly maintaining
the vehicles tires, referring to a cars owners
manual and regularly changing a cars oil
will keep a vehicle running smoothly. A
car is a costly investment. Failing to prop-
erly maintain a vehicle could result in costly
maintenance repairs down the road
To extend the life and performance
of a cars tires, Greedlove recommends
keeping the tires inflated at appropriate
levels. A cars owners manual will list the
manufacturer recommended pressure.
Greedlove said every 6,000 miles a cars
tires should be rotated. Rotating a cars tires
will also help increase a set of tires life span.
If you dont practice proper tire main-
tenance you could go through a set of
tires in half the time, Greedlove said.
With gas prices on the rise, customers
could be tempted to use the lowest grade
fuel because of the price benefits. Greed-
love said that car owners should check the
owners manual to find out what grade of
fuel is suitable for their vehicle.
Greedlove said that while some vehicles
can only use mid-grade or premium grade
gasoline, other vehicles run just fine using
low-grade gasoline. Even though he primarily
uses low-grade gasoline, he fills up with mid-
grade every three or four trips to the pump,
which helps keeps the injectors clean, he
said.

o matter your religion, probably
one of the 42 religious student
organizations on the University
of Kansas campus would be able to help
you grow as a spiritual person.
A religious group can be a way to make
friends and a good source of support and
escape from daily life and the added peer
pressures on campus.
Jenny Wilson, an Alma sophomore
who is Roman Catholic, said she thought
that attending the University helped her
blossom as a Catholic. She said she felt
like an outcast in her hometown because
it had few Catholics. When she came to
the University, she found support with
the 7,000 to 8,000 other Catholic students
on campus, especially those, such as her-
self, who got involved at the St. Lawrence
Catholic Center, 1631 Crescent Rd.
The KU Hillel Foundation, 901 Missis-
sippi St., provides a community for Jew-
ish students of all backgrounds. Jewish
students can participate in both religious
and social activities through the organiza-
tion.
One program that highlights Hillels
offers is the nationally-funded Birth-
right Israel trip, which is a free 10-day
trip given to any Jewish student be-
tween 18 and 26 years old. Many stu-
dents enjoy the trip on a historical and
religious level, but for some its a life-
changing experience.
Although Buddhism is an individual
spiritual experience, Eric Schaumberg
of the KU Buddhist Association said it
helped him to have the support of a group.
He said they meet once a week and medi-
tate together and have dharma talks to lift
up their minds.
With meditation I dont have to study
nearly as much. I just have to read it once
when my mind is clear, Schaumberg
said.
Many students have found a way to stay
spiritual or even become more spiritual
while at college. Like Wilson and Scha-
umberg, many others are able to spiritu-
ally blossom during college and use their
religion as an escape from school and a
source of support.

What to do before you graduate
Attend a KU mens basketball
game
For Kansas faithful, basketball is a religion,
and each game is another opportunity to
worship crimson and blue. And no section
is rowdier, more passionate or more loyal
than the students section of a home game.
Don the KU colors, make your ESPN sign,
take advantage of your years with a valid
KUID and get out to a game.
Bowl at the Jaybowl
This quaint bowling alley, a KU tradition
since 1953, is a great place to relax with
friends. Its located on the frst foor of the
Kansas Union.
Sled down Campanile Hill
Wait for those inevitable mid-January
snow or ice storms. If youre lucky enough
that the University shuts down and cancels
classes, round up your trash can lids,
cookie sheets or actual sleds and head for
the hills on campus. The Campanile hill or
the hill behind JRP are perfect for sledding.
Play in the Chi Omega foun-
tain
Located at the intersection of West Campus
Road and Jayhawk Boulevard, the Chi
Omega fountain is the best KU spot to kick
of your sandals, roll up your jeans and
splash around like youre fve years old
again. The University keeps the fountain
running from April through September, so
splash while you can.
Toss goalposts in Potter Lake
Its no mystery that Kansas football is far
from successful, but sometimes it strikes
gold and beats a good team. After a victory
against a team like Missouri or K-State,
students take to the feld en masse and rip
the goalposts from the ground and haul
them to Potter Lake. Just make sure you
dont tear them down when the Jayhawks
beat a sorry team like students did when
Kansas beat a 1-5 Colorado team in 2000.
Introduce yourself to campus
Call the Free -or-All and pass along
advice, shout-outs, great jokes or even
intelligent conversation in your 20-sec-
ond time limit. And if Kansan editors dig
it, youll see your words in the opinion
page, in print.
Walk out in the middle of class
Gone are the days of the hall pass; at the
University, students are allowed to come
and go as they please. Your classmates
will watch, remember and perhaps scorn
you for at least fve minutes. Style points
for staring at the professor as you make
your hasty exit.
Attend a club sport event
Besides football or basketball games, there
are lesser-known gems to watch that are
just as much fun. The Kansas Relays or
womens soccer are both stellar choices,
and another is Fools Fest. This annual mas-
sive ultimate Frisbee tournament at Shenk
Complex is a surefre good time.
Arrange a tryst in Watson
Library
The cool, secluded aisles of Watson Li-
brary make for much more than a great
study spot. Whatever the nature of your
rendezvous, remember: Keep as quiet
(as possible) in the library.
Enroll in a one-hour HSES class
You can pay the University to teach you
how to play games and sports, such as
bowling and ultimate Frisbee, or how
to backpack, scuba dive or shoot a rife.
These one-hour-a-week diversions allow
at least one pleasant hour during your
busy week.

Doing the crossword, sudoku and cryptoquip puzzles during class is as
much a tradition as walking down the hill during commencement. It has
given students something to do as biology professors drone on about
cell function and psychology professors talk about brain waves.
Once you become a puzzle expert, Whats 3-down? will soon be a com-
monly asked question. It might even help you bridge the communica-

So do the puzzles: You wont be a KU student if you dont.

Football hopes for
another postseason
By Daniel Berk
T
he last time the Kansas football
team played a game, it was a 42-13
drilling of the Houston Cougars
in the Fort Worth Bowl.
When Kansas takes the field next year
and tries to go to back-to-back bowl games
for the first time in Kansas history, it will
be with a much different depth chart than
Kansas had last season.
The most noticeable and talked about
change in the Kansas lineup will come
at the quarterback position. Last years
starter, Jason Swanson, completed his elli-
gibility this year and will most likely be re-
placed by redshirt-freshman Kerry Meier.
Swanson went out with a bang in his
last game at Kansas, throwing for 307
yards and four touchdowns, earning Fort
Worth Bowl MVP honors.
The football team will also try to re-
place its three starting linebackers from a
year ago: Banks Floodman, Kevin Kane
and Nick Reid. All three players were
captains on last years squad, and Reid is
currently in training camp with the Kan-
sas City Chiefs.
The Jayhawks must also fill the void
left by junior Charles Gordon. Gordon
declared for the NFL draft after his ju-
nior season, but went undrafted. Gordon
signed a free agent contract with the Min-
nesota Vikings.
Headlining next years team will likely
be senior Jon Cornish, sophomore Aqib
Talib and senior center David Ochoa.

The Kansas volleyball and soccer teams will start next season will major holes to fll. The football team will need to fll its quarterback spot that senior Jason Swanson left after leading the team to its frst bowl victory since 1995. The vol-
leyball team ended the season with a 15-15 overall record. Next years team will be lead by Emily Brown and Savannah Noyes. The soccer team will have to replace co-captain Jessica Smith, who earned several Big 12 honors.
Cornish is expected to be the teams
starting running back next season after
rushing for 780 yards and nine touch-
downs last season.
Cornish also had a
solid performance at
the Fort Worth Bowl,
having 144 yards of
total offense and two
touchdowns.
Talib started his
career at Kansas as a
safety, but moved to
cornerback last season
when Gordon was moved to offense.
Talib shined in his role and was named
a freshman All-American by several
publications.
The womens soccer team will also
have to fill holes on the roster. The
soccer team bid farewell to one of the
best players in the history of the school
when Caroline Smith graduated. Smith
holds school records for points, goals,
assists, game-winning goals and shots
taken.
Jessica Smith also graduated. Jessica
Smith was a co-captain on last years
squad and had several Big 12 honors
under her belt.
Trying to fill the void left by the
Smiths will be senior Holly Gault. Gault
plays on defense but will be a leader on
next years team. Gault recently com-
pleted traveling with the U.S under-21
national team, where she played two
matches in Germany and the Nether-
lands.
Kansas soccer will
kick off its season next
year with an exhibi-
tion match at Drake
University on Aug.
18, and will start its
regular season Aug.
25 with a home match
against Furman Uni-
versity. The soccer
team usually plays its home matches
at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex, near
Naismith Drive and 19th Street.
The womens volleyball team will
also look to repeat a solid performance
from last season. Despite battling inju-
ries and other setbacks, Kansas quali-
fied for its third-straight NCAA tourna-
ment appearance. Kansas lost to No. 16
UCLA in the first round of the tourna-
ment.
The volleyball team finished with a
conference record of 7-13 and finished
the season 15-15 overall. The Jayhawks
will try to replace four time All-Big 12
member Josi Lima and Paula Caten.
Next years team will be led by Emily
Brown and Savannah Noyes. The vol-
leyball team plays all of its home games
at Horesji Family Athletics Center.
Jon Cornish is expected
to be the teams start-
ing running back next
season after rushing for
780 yards last season and
nine touchdowns.

Basketball means everything
Experts predict Kansas as a top-fve contender to win the 2007 national championship
W
inter athletics at the Universi-
ty of Kansas mean one thing:
Kansas mens basketball. The
Jayhawks return all
five starters from last
years squad that won
25 games, including
the Big 12 Conference
tournament title and
a share of the regular
season title.
Despite bowing out
of the NCAA tourna-
ment in the first round for the second
straight season, there is much optimism
in Lawrence for this years Jayhawk cam-
paign. Kansas is considered a top-five
team by nearly all the national pundits
and will compete for a national champi-
onship.
The Jayhawks will be led by last years
leading scorer and rebounder, Brandon
Rush, who decided to stay at Kansas de-
spite talk of the NBA. Rush, sophomore
guard, averaged 13.5 points per game on
a team that showcased balanced scoring
options.
The heart and soul of
the team last year was
guard Russell Robinson.
The junior was named
to the Big 12 all-defen-
sive team last season.
Robinson did it all, with
his passing, stealing and
his leadership on the
court, transforming the team when he
moved to point guard midway through
last season.
Joining Robinson in the backcourt
is sophomore guard Mario Chalmers.
Chalmers came on late in the season,
winning the most valuable player award
during the Big 12 tournament.

spot in the starting line-up.
Kansas coach Bill Self hauled in yet
another stellar recruiting class, bringing
in McDonalds all-Americans Sherron
Collins and Darrell Arthur to go with
Lawrence-native Brady Morningstar.
Dont be surprised to see either Collins
or Arthur in the starting line-up at some
point this season.
Kansas biggest non-conference test
will likely be against last seasons na-
tional champion, Florida, when the
two teams face off during Thanksgiv-
ing weekend in Las Vegas. Both teams
will likely be ranked in the top five when
they meet.
Also look for the womens basketball
team to make strides this season. Kansas
started the season 12-0 last year before
stumbling down the stretch and missing
the NCAA tournament. Kansas did win
a game in the NIT, before losing a large
lead in the second game.
Kansas had not won a postseason
game in several years before the WNIT
victory. Crystal Kemp led the Jayhawks
in scoring, rebounding and minutes this
season, but she completed her eligibility
and the Jayhawks will need a quality sea-
son from senior Shaq Mosley and the rest
of the team in order to replace Kemps
output.

T
he Kansas baseball team got off
to a hot start in 2006 with vic-
tories against ranked opponents
such as Stanford, Clemson, Nebraska
and Wichita State. As coach Ritch
Price led the team to its fourth straight
30-win season, the Jayhawks looked set
for their first 40-win season and NCAA
Regional appearance since 1994. But
costly losses down the stretch have left
Kansas tournament bid in jeopardy, as
of print time.
A savvy senior class in pitchers Ricky
Fairchild, Kodiak Quick and Don Czyz,
infielders Ritchie Price and Jared Sch-
weitzer, and outfielders Matt Baty and
Gus Milner will be missed after putting
Kansas on the college baseball map in
their time at Kansas.
The 2007 Jayhawks will be led by
junior left-handed pitcher Sean Land,
sophomore outfielders John Allman and
Brock Simpson and sophomore third
baseman Erik Morrison.
The Kansas softball team heated up
as the baseball team cooled off, winning
its first Big 12 tournament champion-
ship in program history and reaching a
NCAA Regional for the second straight
year.
A superb senior class led by Serena
Settlemier guided the Jayhawks to a win-
ning record. Settlemier was a team leader
at the plate and on the mound with a .355
batting average, 20 home runs, 57 RBI
and a 15-5 record, as of press time, and
as a pitcher who earned Big 12 Player of
the Year honors.
Returning Jayhawks, such as junior
Kassie Humphreys and freshman Val
Chapple, will try to build on their suc-
cess in 2006 and give Kansas its third
straight NCAA tournament appearances
in 2007.

R
yan OShea remembers his most
amazing intramural memory.
Playoffs. Flag football. It was
fourth down and goal. OSheas team
was down five.
Our QB did a rollout, OShea said.
We had been stopped three times. He
threw it up, it bobbled off a defender, but
we caught it and we won. It was amazing.
We won our first playoff game on fourth-
down and goal as time expired.
OShea, Chesterfield, Mo., senior, is no
stranger to intramural sports at the Univer-
sity of Kansas. Hes done six. Everything
from floor hockey to racquetball. He even
tried to set up his own wiffleball league, but
didnt have the time to commit to it.
The director made it seem if I wanted
to, OShea said of starting a league. There
would have been no problem.
The Universitys Recreation Services of-
fers intramural sports in the fall, spring and
summer for any student willing to partici-
pate. There are leagues and tournaments in
traditional sports, such as basketball and flag
football. Theres also nine-ball pool and a
Texas Hold Em tournament in the spring.
OShea said intramurals gave him a
break from college routines. It also helped
him keep his competitive edge.
Without the organization and official
rules, it wouldnt be possible to partici-
pate in sports competitively in a sched-
uled manner, OShea said.
Sports are scheduled throughout the year,
and its the students responsibility to know
when the sports are coming up. Recreation
Services posts information about intramurals
on its Web site, www.recreation.ku.edu and
at the Student Recreation and Fitness Center.
Recreation Services has informational
meetings for each sport where the stu-
dent can find out about the sport and sign
up. All intramurals are free. Then, other
team members can sign up online. Mak-
ing the meeting is key to getting a team
or sport set up. If you dont attend, you
dont play.
All leagues end with playoffs and every
team competes. Regardless of the teams
regular season record, each team gets an op-
portunity to win a coveted IM Champion
T-shirt.
There are also tournaments, including
the ever-popular massive pre-holiday bas-
ketball tournament that attracts hundreds
of KU ballers.
With all the different sports, theres a
way for everyone to get a chance to make
a memory like OSheas. But, as OShea
knows, you have to go to the meetings.
Jot down the dates, he said of the
meetings. Youll be glad you did.

You may not think
of these things
when you think of
KU sports, or even
when you think of
sports, in general.
But if youre look-
ing for a way to meet
a group of people
and do something
different, joining
one of the 25-plus
club sports offered
by Recreation Ser-
vices can be a good
way to start.
Some KU club
sports are tradition-
al, such as baseball
and soccer. Others
are little known,
such as capoeira,
a Brazilian martial
art characterized by
acrobatic ground
fighting. Others are
not associated with
Kansas, such as sail-
ing and water ski.
The water ski team
practices on a pri-
vate lake just off
Highway K-10 a few
miles east of Law-
rence.
Club sports are
often as much about
team camaraderie as
they are about com-
petition. Practice is
often informal and
just a couple of times a week, and ex-
tracurricular activities are stressed.
The water ski team, for instance,
carpools or rides a
bus to all out-of-
town meets, where
the team camps
and parties with
members of the
other teams. The
hockey team has
a bus that drives
fan groupies to its
games in Kansas
City.
Some of the
club sport teams
dont compete at
all, but simply en-
joy their sport.
The rock climb-
ing team meets ev-
ery Tuesday and
Wednesday at the
Student Recre-
ation and Fitness
Center.
On weekends,
the team goes
camping and
scales natural rock
formations.
Other teams
take part in fierce
competitions, such
as the Ultimate
Frisbee team,
known as the Hor-
rorZontals, which
traveled to nation-
als this spring.
Whether you
know anything about
the sports, most of
the teams will accept
anyone who wants
to take time to prac-
tice and learn.

Club sports offer camaraderie, competition to incoming freshmen
looking for alternative athletics
By Erick R. Schmidt
I
f Kansas is a basketball school,
dont tell that to football coach Mark
Mangino.
Mangino will have a brand new facil-
ity to work from within a few years. The
Anderson Family Football Complex will
be built next to Memorial Stadium as
part of a five-year strategic plan by the
Athletics Department to raise athletic
standards and improve the facilities used
by Kansas sports teams.
The complex, named after long-time
Kansas donor Dana Anderson, will be
the permanent home of the football team
once construction is completed. Ander-
son has donated more than $12 million
total for the project. The project, with
a total expected cost of $31 million, is
expected to be completed by 2008.
Currently, the football team practices
on fields southwest of Allen Fieldhouse.
Weightlifting facilities and other offices
are located inside Wagnon Student Ath-
letic Center, just west of the fieldhouse.
In the past, the team has used buses to
travel from Wagnon to Memorial Stadium
for practice. Athletics Department of-
ficials, at the time of the announcement,
said that the complex would take care of
two problems: the football team would
be located at one central location, and it
would also open up space for womens
sports and non-revenue sports offices in
Wagnon. Because the complex will also
hold offices and meeting rooms, other
sports will be able to take over office space
currently controlled by the football team.
Another donor that helped secure the
necessary funds for the new complex was
former Kansas basketball player Tom
Kivisto. Kivisto donated $4 million for
the project as well as another $8 million.
The field at Memorial Stadium will be
officially renamed as Kivisto Field.
Originally, there was concern that the
facility would be built in a location where
students wouldnt approve. Many students
and Jayhawk supporters worried that the
plans for the facility would block the view
of the Campanile from Memorial Stadium
and vice versa. There was also concern that
the location of the facility could interfere
with the tradition of graduating students
walking down the hill for graduation
ceremonies.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway put
those concerns to rest when the final
money for the facility was secured.
The only way we would disturb the
view of the Campanile is if there is a
gravestone that says Bob Hemenway,
the Chancellor joked at the time.

Little Moments
W
hen someone at the University
of Kansas says gameday, I
think of football on a Saturday
at Memorial Stadium.
Dont get me wrong: I love basketball and
I love the history that I can literally feel when
I walk into Allen Fieldhouse. Still, if I were
offered a ticket to sit in the front row of the
student section at either a KU football game
or a KU basketball game, Im taking football
nine out of 10 times.
That might sound ridiculous to those who
insist that Kansas is a basketball school. But
my preference isnt about one sport being
better than the other. Instead, its about two
completely different experiences. For me,
it just so happens that football at Memorial
Stadium offers a few things to which I just
cant say no.
First of all, Kansas football requires as
much effort as youre willing to put in. If you
want to start in the morning by camping out-
side the entrance gates of the stadium with
your fellow diehards to get the best view from
the student section, then gameday for you
can mean an entire day. Or if you prefer to
make your first appearance at kickoff, theres
still going to be a seat for you. Football in a
stadium as expansive and beautiful as the one
weve got is almost better when viewed from
above. The waving of the wheat looks good
from any angle.
The atmosphere itself is plenty of reason
to see a game in the shadow of the Campa-
nile. In the opening scenes of NCAA College
Football 2006, broadcaster Brad Nessler calls
Memorial Stadium one of the prettiest sights
in all of college football.
I concur.
Beginning several hours before kick-off,
the hill comes to life with activity tents,
pickup football games and tailgating. By the
time the reserved seats start to fill up, the stu-
dent section has been simmering for nearly
two hours. It all comes to a head when those
metallic locker room doors swing open and
the team pours onto the field accompanied
by Metallicas Enter Sandman and the KU
marching band.
I can feel the goosebumps now.
When it all comes down to it, the most
important element of a gameday experience
is the performance on the field. For Kansas
fans, its a good time to be a Jayhawk. The
team has made it to a postseason bowl in
two of the past three seasons. The last time
that happened was in 1973-75, when Don
Fambrough led the team to the Liberty Bowl
and Bud Moore followed it up two years later
with an appearance in the Sun Bowl.
Today, Mark Mangino has the team
headed in the right direction. Kansas fans
witnessed a long-awaited victory against
powerhouse Nebraska last season during an
undefeated season at Memorial Stadium.
Speaking of Kansas Border Showdown
enemies, this seasons seniors have never seen
a loss to Missouri. That just makes it even
sweeter when the video board shows a clip of
Grandpa Simpson trashing the state of trash
to the east.
When I came to the University in 2003,
football was an afterthought. The team had
gone winless in conference play the season
before, and I had no idea how to pronounce
the quarterbacks name Whit-uh-more.
I nearly skipped out on the opening game
of the season, a rain-soaked thriller against
Northwestern that Kansas eventually lost.
But I decided at the last moment to head to
the stadium just for grins. What I found was
an experience of camaraderie among the
students who held out through the down-
pour, the best atmosphere in which Id ever
watched a football game, and a team that
now has me counting down to kickoff 12
months a year.
Its an experience Id like to share. My
words of advice go something like this: Go
to basketball games at Allen Fieldhouse.
Indulge in the tradition that is Kansas
basketball. But dont look at our school only
as a basketball school. If you miss out on ev-
erything Memorial Stadium has to offer, you
might just miss out on everything it means to
be a Jayhawk.

History on display
Booth Family Hall of Athletics presents best of Kansas sports
By Eric Sorrentino
P
art of what makes Allen Field-
house special is the history
and tradition that surrounds it
the third all-time winningest basket-
ball program in NCAA history with four
national titles.
So when the Kansas Athletics De-
partment added the Booth Family Hall
of Athletics last season, it was the first
major addition to the fieldhouse in its 51
years of existence. But dont worry about
the fieldhouse losing all of its history and
tradition.
It was all retained in the 26,000 square-
foot hall of athletics, which took eight
months to build.
Family members of the late Gilbert
and Betty Booth donated $5 million to
open the hall.
We thought that this University need-
ed one place where we could celebrate
Kansas athletics, Jim Marchiony, asso-
ciate athletics director, said.
Hardwood from the original Naismith
Court rests mounted on the west wall.
Various trophies and rings from the Kan-
sas teams are on display. There are year-
books and footballs from the turn of the
century. A projection screen helps retell
the tales of classic Kansas sports mo-
ments.
The moments arent only about basket-
ball, though.
The hall contains facets of all 16 Kan-
sas mens and womens sports teams at
the University. Its as if youre trying to
find your way in a labyrinth of Kansas
sports memorabilia.
We were humbled walking through
it because youre standing in the middle
of so much tradition, Marchiony said.
The hall is a great way to find out
about sports teams at Kansas that
youve previously never heard about.
If you dont know who senior thrower
Sheldon Battle is, chances are when
you visit the hall, youll walk away with
an increased knowledge on the No. 3
ranked shot put thrower in the nation.
Many fans associate their memories
of Kansas athletics with the basketball
team. The 2005-2006 season marked
the last time legendary radio announcer
Max Falkenstien called a game. He had
called Kansas basketball and football
games for the past 60 years. Falken-
stien, who was greeted with a standing
ovation at halftime of every road bas-
ketball game last season, put his collec-
tion of championship memorabilia on
display in the Hall.
The hall contains memories from the
times of Falkenstien, Phog Allen, Wilt
Chamberlain, JoJo White, Larry Brown,
Danny Manning, Roy Williams, Paul
Pierce and Kirk Hinrich.
So before you attend your next, or
first, Kansas basketball game, check out
the gallery of sports memorabilia. The
history and tradition of Allen Fieldhouse
are still there.
Open Monday-Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; closed Sundays.
Open on game days, except for a few hours before the event.

Mizzou versus K-State: which is worse?
I
ts two hours out of the day, but it
unites students like no other event at
the University of Kansas watch-
ing a game in Allen Fieldhouse.
The statistics from the place are aston-
ishing: a 204-17 record during the past
15 seasons and 62 consecutive victories
on James Naismith Court at one point,
starting in 1994. These accomplishments
have taken place on the court.
The most interesting part of the Allen
Fieldhouse experience is what takes
place in the stands.
The fieldhouse sits 16,300 people every
game. Some students make the most of
their experience: whether it was dressing
up as former Missouri basketball coach
Quin Snyder or wearing a costume that
resembled a Missouri Tiger for heckling
reasons. The fans are always colorful
and loyal.
Even though games last only two
hours, many students spend more con-
siderable time at the fieldhouse. Basket-
ball games are so prominent in Lawrence
that students camp out for hours to get
the best seats possible. Students do not
have to camp out to get seats, though.
For example, I camped out once in my
four years at the University. I attended
all Kansas home games.
Kansas offers a luxury that some
other basketball-rich schools do not. My
brother finished his freshman year at the
University of Arizona. He attended one
home game, which was an exhibition
game that didnt count toward the teams
record. Arizona has a lottery system,
and if youre not picked, you dont go to
games. Kansas offers the sports package
for $125 per year. As long as you renew
the tickets on time, you can attend every
home game and share in the atmosphere
of the fieldhouse.
The atmosphere inside the fieldhouse
reminds me of a religious experience, in
the sense of sports. A chorus of 16,300
students in blue shirts share common
traditions before, during and after each
game.
They sing the alma mater while slow-
ly swaying back and forth, with arms
around each another. They clap to the
Kansas fight song, while the band plays
about 40 minutes before each game.
They jump up and down before the
opening tip, shaking the rafters and men-
tally preparing for the next 40 minutes of
college basketball. They wave the wheat
swaying their hands from side to side
after victories and after opposing
players foul out. They hold two hands
up on each KU foul shot. Its all part of
what makes the fieldhouse, at 51 years
old, one of the most feared places to play
for opposing teams.
I witnessed many memorable Kansas
basketball moments in my four years at
the University. In 2003, I saw ESPN ana-
lyst Dick Vitale give a standing ovation
to Nick Collison hes only given two
in his career after the former forward
scored 24 points and grabbed 23 boards
in Kansas 90-87 victory against Texas. I
witnessed former Oklahoma State coach
Eddie Sutton run to the Kansas bench
to personally congratulate Collison and
Kirk Hinrich on Senior Day in 2003. It
was the classiest gesture I saw in my four
years of attending games in the field-
house. Sutton only congratulated op-
posing players on senior day three other
times in his more than 40 years of coach-
ing.
More than any specific moment,
though, I simply enjoyed being part of
the tradition of the fieldhouse. Its rock
concert-like sound produced from the
decibel level of the fans voices is noth-
ing like Ive ever heard before, even in
the two other most historic sports sites
Ive been to: Texas Stadium and Wrigley
Field. If you purchase the sports pass,
youll witness a historic and elite pro-
gram. All you have to do to prove it to
yourself is look up at the four champion-
ship banners at the top of the ceiling.

T
he M-I-Z, Z-O-U Tigers? Or
the KSUWildcats? Its
tough to pick which chant is
more annoying, let alone which archri-
val KU fans should despise more. Im
no native to Lawrence but I was raised
a Jayhawk. When I was growing up, I
hated Kansas State and Missouri un-
conditionally, but not yet personally.
Coming into my first semester at
Kansas, I had seen Missouri defeat
three of the all-time-best Kansas basket-
ball teams in 1997, 1998 and 2003. As
for Kansas State basketball, I still have
never seen the Wildcats score more
points than the Jayhawks in Manhattan.
The streak is currently at 23 games in
a row.
But the games became personal when
I started going to them. At games, you
tend to get more emotionally involved.
You also run into fans of the other
team.
The first thing youll hear from either
fan will probably be about Bradley or
Bucknell. Ask who Missouri lost to in
the first round of the NIT in 2004 and
2005. More specifically, when in conflict
with Wildcat fans, the first thing to bring
up is the streak mentioned earlier. If
they say football ask what bowl game
they went to last year, or better yet, who
owns the all-time series. Its Kansas.
If you ever run into Tiger fans eager
to argue, ask them about their favorite
Final Four experience. Theyve never
been. When discussing football, just in-
form them that Kansas has been victo-
rious three years in a row. They might
also like to know that the Jayhawks lead
in the all-time series.
Kansas defeats its archrivals most of
the time, both in football and basketball
historically. This seemingly makes the ri-
valry better for us, which is mostly true,
but not entirely. Each time the Jayhawks
lose, its much more disappointing than
a normal loss. The trick to enjoying the
rivalry is to savor the victories as much
as you hate the losses.
Your first Missouri game in Allen
Fieldhouse as a student could be your
best one. Youll soon realize that Kan-
sas comes out on top nearly every time
against Missouri in Lawrence. The same
old results get boring.
Thats why the Kansas State basketball
games in Lawrence didnt seem so great.
But I have a feeling that after Kansas
States shocking victory in the Phog last
season, next years crowd will have more
electricity. It would be nice to see an atmo-
sphere like Memorial Stadiums in 2004,
when Kansas State failed to defeat Kansas
for the first time in 12 years.
The Jayhawks 31-28 victory against
the Wildcats rekindled the football ri-
valry and was a good enough reason to
tear down the goalposts. The goalposts
also came down three times last season,
including when Kansas defeated Mis-
souri for the third year in a row. On that
note, please do not tear down the goal-
posts this year. It is getting embarrass-
ing.
Anyway, back to the topic at hand.
Which school should KU fans hate
more? To the east is Missouri, an athlet-
ics program currently in poor shape. But
the tradition of rivalry will always re-
main, even if its head basketball coach
doesnt, since the Border Showdown,
as it is now referred to, was actually a
part of the Civil War.
Kansas hates Missouri, its that sim-
ple. To the west is Kansas State, a bas-
ketball team that seems to be on the rise
with the hiring of Bob Huggins. The kit-
tens could finally have a coach with the
wits to battle Bill Self.
Its a tough question, one youll have
to decide for yourself. But trust me, you
cant go wrong either way.
