    Ann Turnbull and her hus-

    band, Rud, will have new neigh-


    bors soon. Luckily, they already
    know most of them. The
    Turnbulls, co-directors of the
    Beach Center on Disability, will
    move into one of the Hobbs
    Taylor lofts being built at Eighth
    and New Hampshire streets.
    The lofts will soon be home
    to a small community from the
    University of Kansas. KU facul-
    ty and professors already have
    bought five of the 32 lofts, said
    Linda Boyd, an agent for
    Stephens Real Estate.
    It will be really nice to have
    University colleagues and
    friends close by, Turnbull said.
    Jim Roberts, vice provost for
    research, said he and his wife,
    Carol, had wanted to live in a
    loft since they lived on the East
    Coast when they were younger.
    Once they saw their daughters
    loft in downtown Chicago, they
    sought out one for themselves.
    When the first hint of the
    lofts appeared in the newspaper,
    we looked at each other and
    said Why not?, Roberts said.
    We were one of the first to
    buy.
    Roberts fifth-floor loft is far
    from his current countryside
    residence in West Lawrence.
    Space 5D overlooks downtown
    Lawrence.
    Its a nice view, Roberts
    said, but he is looking forward
    to the ambiance of downtown
    more.
    Well be close to all the
    restaurants and stores,
    Roberts said. We expect to
    walk to everything and just be
    a part of the excitement of
    downtown.
    Some of the lofts could be
    completed by late July, Boyd
    said.
    A small group of students and
    College of Liberal Arts and
    Sciences officials discussed the
    future of differential tuition
    Tuesday, the first time since the
    student body overwhelmingly
    voted against the plan in
    February.
    A decision was not made on
    the existence of the differential
    tuition plan.
    Even if students wont vote
    next year, student discussions
    will continue.
    Jason Bentley, deans adviso-
    ry board member and Olathe
    junior said. Students recog-
    nized the need for extra money,
    but the student leaders and
    officials need to figure out how
    to put that money to use that
    would appease all concerned,
    he said.
    Its a matter of selling the
    plan so its not a burden on stu-
    dents, he said. We want a plan
    that will make students happy. If
    its no plan, then well respect
    that.
    Based on student feedback
    throughout the year, the group
    came to the consensus that the
    plan needed to be narrowed
    down, Bentley said.
    The feedback showed various
    tuition fees were bombarding
    students.

    onathon Bourgeois doesnt wear a visible scarlet
    A on his chest as Hester Prynne does in
    Nathaniel Hawthornes The Scarlet Letter. He
    wears an SO that appears on the Internet and fol-
    lows him around like Prynne's scarlet A.
    He is one of 50 people in Lawrence whose name,
    photograph, offense, address and map that shows
    where he lives appear on the Kansas Bureau of
    Investigation Web site that tracks the identity and
    whereabouts of sex offenders.
    Like Prynne, Bourgeois doesnt feel he deserves
    his scarlet letter. But its there and he said it has cost
    him six years of his life. In that span, hes been in and
    out of jail and found it difficult to find and keep jobs
    and reintegrate into society.
    Even worse, according to Bourgeois, is that his
    offense being in a consensual sexual relationship
    with a 15-year-old girl when he was 18 is grouped
    together with serious offenders like rapists and child
    molesters.
    But for Bourgeois, now 25, and the more than
    3,000 registered sex offenders in Kansas, the persist-
    ent presence of the sex offender registry makes it
    nearly impossible to move on with their lives. To
    them it is a punishment beyond the debt they've
    already paid to society.
    It amazes me that with the brilliant minds in this
    country, they couldn't come up with a better system,
    Bourgeois said. Theres been an unbelievable
    amount of pain in my life because Ive been put on
    that list. It makes it 10 times harder to put behind
    you.
    Proponents of the politically popular registry say
    that it protects communities by warning residents of
    the whereabouts of sex offenders nearby. Advocates
    of the list say that sex offenders tend to repeat their
    crimes.
    However, a growing number of critics say that sex
    offender registries provide communities with little
    more than a false sense of security because they fail
    to protect them from serious offenders, and they
    lump minor offenders in with more serious sex crim-
    inals, and assume that sex offenders are likely to
    commit more sex crimes, despite of statistics that
    indicate otherwise. Furthermore, they are a scarlet
    letter that ostracizes offenders and makes it nearly
    impossible to rehabilitate and restart their lives by
    finding jobs and housing in their communities.

    The new Hobbs Taylors Lofts at Eighth and New Hampshire streets
    will offer a unique living situation close to Massachusetts Street.
    Tom Flemings memory of Big Metal
    Roosters set at last years Wakarusa
    Music Festival was of a domino effect.
    When his band started playing,
    there were 15 people watching.
    Then five minutes later, there were
    100 people. Fifteen minutes later,
    there were about 500.
    That crowd came up to us and we
    were instantly blown away by that
    energy, said Doug Hein, Big Metal
    Rooster bassist.
    That energy was just part of the
    spirit of the Wakarusa Music Festival,
    Fleming, acoustic guitarist, said.
    The excitement level is exponen-
    tially bigger than any other gig weve
    ever played, Matt Miner, Big Metal
    Rooster drummer, said.
    Big Metal Rooster and about 60 other
    bands will play on five stages at this years
    festival, scheduled for June 16 to 19.
    Nationally known acts on the bill
    include Wilco, Big Head Todd and the
    Monsters and the String Cheese
    Incident.
    Organizers expect 12,000 to 15,000
    people to be the festival each day, up
    from 7,500 each day last year, said
    Brett Mosiman, festival director.
    Music lovers from as far away as
    Europe and Japan have bought tickets
    for the festival, he said.
    Wakarusa Music Festival was a lot
    like a family reunion for Big Metal
    Rooster, a band that has been playing
    for five years.
    One of the big surprises of last
    year is the people I ran into that I
    havent seen in years, Fleming said.
    It was like a family reunion.
    There were familiar faces from the
    bands early days in 2000 watching
    them play, Hein said.
    Meeting, hanging out and watching
    other drummers such as Leftover
    Salmons Michael Wooten and Garaj
    Mahals Alan Hertz were some of the
    aspects Miner enjoyed about the festi-
    val, he said.
    It was the first experience being
    shoulder to shoulder to those bands
    that weve looked up to for a long
    time, Miner said.
    An unpleasant experience of last
    years festival was provided by chig-
    gers tiny biting insects that live in
    the grass and leave itchy bites.
    A lot of people never experienced
    chiggers before, Hein said. The
    chiggers were terrible.
    To address this problem there will a
    nature expert on hand to help people
    fight off chiggers and address other
    nature concerns, Mosiman said.
    He recommended wearing socks
    and shoes and not sleeping in the
    grass where chiggers live.
    There is also advice on how to pre-
    vent chigger bites on the Wakarusa
    Music Festivals Web site,
    http://www.wakarusa.com.
    On May 29, Big Metal Rooster will
    play a similar festival called May Daze
    in Strasburg, Colo. After that festival,
    the band will go on a seven-day tour of
    the southeast United States and then
    return to Lawrence to perform at the
    music festivals pre-party shows at
    Liberty Hall, 642 Massachusetts St., and
    The Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire
    St.

    Instead, the Kansas Bureau of Investigation
    online sex offender registry creates misper-

    whom dont deserve it. Being a registered sex

    KU faculty and professors enjoy prospects of living downtown
    A new set of homes, the Hobbs Taylor lofts,

    rather, it will be their teachers. Five of the 32
    lofts already have been bought by KU faculty
    and professors. The lofts, which cost
    between $200,000 and $480,000, should be
    completed by late July. PAGE 3A

    A new food pyramid was released
    by the U.S Department of Agriculture
    last month. Whether students will use
    it is yet unknown.
    Carrie Warner, St. Louis junior, saw
    the pyramid when it was released last
    month and was glad to see an empha-
    sis on exercise to lose weight among
    the other changes made.
    A lot of people think dieting is
    enough, but it isnt, she said.
    Because the tool emphasizes exer-
    cise along with a healthy diet, Ann
    Chapman, Watkins Memorial Health
    Center dietician, said she likes to
    think of it more as a food and activity
    pyramid.
    An online aspect of the pyramid, at
    www.mypyramid.gov, gives users the
    opportunity to make a personal pyra-
    mid for them to use in regards to their
    own lives.
    To apply the pyramid to a persons
    lifestyle, the USDA developed the
    Web site so anyone can input their
    age, gender, weight and activity level
    to determine what they should eat
    and how much to exercise.
    Chapman said shed already had a
    positive response from the students
    she saw for appointments. Students
    are amazed when they see how they
    can manage their own health, she said.
    Theres even a function online that
    allows people to track what they ate
    during the day and determine where
    they need to improve their diet,
    Chapman said.
    The online aspect of the pyramid
    may be a disadvantage to those with-
    out computer skills or access, but she
    doesnt think students will be at a dis-
    advantage, she said.
    In his work with student athletes,
    Doug Clark emphasizes the impor-
    tance of eating right and exercising.
    The assistant coach for Kansas track
    and field said he thought the new
    pyramid, with its online presence, will
    make health awareness easier.
    Anything that is interactive increas-
    es the chance of it being used, he said.
    College students are surrounded by
    media that encourages them to eat
    and live unhealthy lives. Serving sizes
    also have increased, causing people to
    eat more than they would in the past,
    he said.
    A healthy message in the media
    makes healthy living competitive,
    whether its an advertisement or Web
    site, Clark said.
    Clark was also impressed by the
    personalized nature of the new pyra-
    mid. No longer do students have to
    take time to visit a dietician or trainer
    to see what they need to do.
    Despite the improvements, Warner
    isnt convinced that students will use
    the pyramid more. Only students who
    were active in a healthy lifestyle before
    will look into the changes, she said.

    University to post course,
    instructor evaluations online
    Nick Sterner, student body president, sent an
    e-mail to all students Monday requesting that
    they participate in online course and instructor
    evaluations.
    Students can participate in the 10-question
    survey by logging on to a University of Kansas
    Web site at https://lark.cc.ku.edu/cgiwrap/acctap-
    pl/claseval/course_evaluation.cgi.
    Evaluation results have never been available
    for students. Now, results from the surveys will be
    posted online before enrollment for Spring 2006.
    Sterner said the goal of the evaluations and
    making the results available was to give students
    additional information when choosing classes.

    CAN THEY BE TRUSTED?
    The sex offender registry has
    gained repeated front-page
    attention in Lawrence because
    of the states plan to release
    Leroy Hendricks a 70-year-
    old repeat child molester to
    live in Lawrence after leaving
    the Larned State Hospital
    where he was confined for 10
    years after he completed his
    prison sentence.
    Hendricks once said his
    death was the only guarantee
    that he would stop molesting
    children.
    But he is still alive and could
    live in Lawrence under 24-
    hour surveillance. A group of
    outraged Lawrence parents
    started a petition to ask
    that Hendricks be
    moved elsewhere.
    Ironically, if
    Hendricks comes to
    Lawrence, his
    address wont be
    d i s c l o s e d
    because his
    crimes occurred
    before 1994, when
    the state law mandating
    the sex offender registry
    took effect.
    Bourgeois and 50 other
    Lawrence residents wont be as
    lucky. Their pictures and
    addresses appear online every
    day.
    But to Stephen McAllister,
    professor at the University of
    Kansas School of Law, the inac-
    curacy of the list detracts from
    its stated purpose.
    McAllister successfully
    defended before the U.S.
    Supreme Court the constitu-
    tionality of the Kansas law that
    kept Hendricks and other dan-
    gerous sex offenders locked up
    in mental hospitals after they
    had completed their prison sen-
    tences. However, he said as a
    listing of potential offenders the
    list was woefully incomplete
    and even failed to keep track of
    offenders who were on it.
    If they want to move to
    Utah, its very hard to keep
    track of them, McAllister said.
    The problem is you have to
    have accurate information, and
    thats very hard to do.
    Furthermore, McAllister said,
    many other sex offenders arent
    even on the registry, such as
    those who havent yet been
    caught or those who were con-
    victed before 1994 when the
    law went into effect and dont
    have to register in Kansas, like
    Hendricks.
    ARE THEY ALL SEX
    OFFENDERS?
    Critics say that a bigger prob-
    lem with the list is that it com-
    bines minor sex offenders with
    serious ones, which makes the
    list impractical for deciding
    who on the list is a threat and
    who is not.
    Bourgeois said that he was an
    example of an offender who
    posed no risk to the community.
    He was 17 years old when he
    started dating his 15-year-old
    girlfriend in Wellsville. Their
    relationship became illegal
    under Kansas law when he
    turned 18. Police searched his
    car during a traffic stop in
    Olathe and found letters he had
    written to his girlfriend that
    contained sexual references.
    It was a love letter, how I felt
    about her, what I wanted from
    our relationship, Bourgeois
    said. The sexual reference was
    brief, offhand and sort of a joke,
    but it was enough for them to
    ask her about it.
    Even though his girlfriends
    parents didnt want to press
    charges, the state booked him
    for indecent liberties with a
    child. He pled down to a lesser
    charge of solicitation. He said
    he took the deal because he was
    scared, confused and thought
    that the plea bargain would
    make the problem go away
    sooner.
    Six years later, Bourgeois is
    still on the list and still deals
    with the consequences that
    accompany it.
    Bourgeois said that the KBI
    registry doesnt tell
    people who the real
    threats are
    p e d o p h i l e s ,
    rapists and multi-
    ple offenders
    as opposed to
    those like him
    with more minor
    offenses.
    Call me a jerk,
    or a felon even,
    but throwing me in
    the same category
    with them?
    Bourgeois said.
    Another sex
    offender, on the list,
    Aaron, who agreed
    to be quoted only if he
    name is not used, said
    that including minor offenders
    diluted the purpose of the list.
    By populating the list with
    people like me, or the 18-year-
    old who was dating the 15-year-
    old, the list is perhaps doing an
    injustice to us while failing to
    do its purpose to do justice to
    the rest of society because of its
    length and basic accuracy defi-
    ciencies, he said. Remember
    the story of the boy who cried
    wolf?
    Perhaps a severity grading
    scale should be assumed for the
    list. Short of that, leaving those
    who represent little or no risk to
    society off the list would seem
    the best way to handle the situ-
    ation, he said.
    Proponents of the registry
    said that trying to assess risk-
    levels for offenders was danger-
    ous.
    Laura A. Ahearn, executive
    director of Parents for Megans
    Law, which lobbied for passage
    of the federal law that encour-
    ages states to have registries,
    said she was vehemently
    opposed to including risk-
    assessment factors on public
    registries. She cited examples of
    offenders with lesser prior
    offenses who went on to com-
    mit more serious sex crimes.
    She also said the devastating
    impact the sex crimes had
    against the victim were reason
    enough to track all sex offend-
    ers.
    Theyre now being exposed
    for who they are, Ahearn said.
    Our position is when youve
    committed a sex crime, you
    have left a mark on a persons
    life forever.
    Rick Fischli, director of sexu-
    al offender management for the
    Kansas Department of
    Corrections, said the state could
    not reasonably assess each
    offender on a case-by-case basis
    and determine which ones were
    a risk to re-offend.
    Separate out what is serious
    and not so serious is very diffi-
    cult, Fischli said. Its really
    tough to pinpoint on an individ-
    ual basis to find out who is dan-
    gerous and who isnt.
    Fischli said that when he
    worked as a parole officer in the
    department of corrections, he
    saw some minor offenders
    transform into serious offend-
    ers. He also said some of the
    crimes listed on the registry
    resulted from plea bargains and
    didnt adequately indicate the
    severity of their crimes.
    I can tell you that some peo-
    ple who were convicted of inde-
    cent solicitation of a child com-
    mitted power rape of someone
    who was under 16, Fischli
    said.
    The registry law exists across
    all 50 states in large part
    because legislators find that its
    a law that makes them look
    good politically, McAllister said.
    Its a very tough-on-crime
    position to take, he said.
    But even some politicians
    question the all-encompassing
    nature of the law.
    Rep. Tom Sloan (R-
    Lawrence) said he favored
    keeping the registry to protect
    communities, but didnt consid-
    er a case such as Bourgeois one
    that should be on the registry.
    In a situation like that, I
    dont consider that to be a sexu-
    al offender, Sloan said. Im
    more concerned about
    pedophiles; Im more con-
    cerned about serial rapists, peo-
    ple of that nature.
    He said, 16-, 17-, 18-year-
    old boys and girls, theyre hav-
    ing sexual relations, and I dont
    consider that to be a sexual
    offender situation, certainly not
    in the case of this list.
    Wes Crenshaw, a Lawrence
    author and psychologist who
    works primarily with victims
    and their families, but has also
    worked with intra-familial sex
    offenders, agreed that the list
    was too broad and feared the
    public wouldnt know how to
    reasonably consume it.
    The problem with that
    approach is it is all-inclu-
    sive,Crenshaw said. My worry
    about it is I dont trust the list to
    do me any good.
    Crenshaw said he never
    bothered to look at the KBI reg-
    istry until the emergence of
    recent media reports about
    Hendricks, the repeat sex
    offender moving to Lawrence.
    Once he checked the list, he
    discovered that one registered
    sex offender lived across the
    street from his office. He wasnt
    sure if he was supposed to act
    differently or how he could
    assess whether the offender was
    any sort of a risk.
    He said that offenders like
    Bourgeois didnt need to have
    the community watching him.
    Lesser offenders dont
    deserve to be on that list,
    Crenshaw said. It serves to
    dilute the purpose of that list.
    Even Charles Branson,
    Douglas County district attor-
    ney, said that the scope of the
    list might be too wide.
    Does the list being all-
    encompassing lessen the pur-
    pose of the list? Maybe,
    Branson said.
    DIFFERENT THAN OTHER
    CRIMINALS?
    But Whitney Watson,
    spokesperson for Kansas
    Attorney General Phill Kline,
    said that keeping a broad range
    of criminals on the list was nec-
    essary because of the nature of
    sex offenders and their tenden-
    cy to repeat their crimes.
    Were in favor of this
    because it helps identify those
    individuals whose crimes tend
    to be repeated, Watson said.
    The recidivism rate for sexual
    offenses is proof enough for the
    need of a sex offender registry.
    But the U.S. Department of
    Justice reports that only five out
    of every 100 sex offenders will
    repeat the same crime com-
    pared with six out of 100 non-
    sexual criminals who will re-
    offend.
    That means of Lawrences 50
    sex offenders, between two to
    three are statistically apt to re-
    offend.
    For Branson, thats threaten-
    ing enough to keep the scope of
    the registry wide enough to
    include even minor offenders.
    Theres still a large number
    of crimes that are committed by
    strangers, Branson said. The
    goal is to try and have a mecha-
    nism to prevent things from
    happening.
    Fischli, the director of sex
    offenders at the department of
    corrections, agreed it was
    appropriate to single out all sex
    offenders to protect a small
    number of potential victims.
    I think that there are times
    when a society has to do things
    in an attempt to make the inno-
    cent more safe at the expense of
    the guilty, Fischli said.
    The list acted as a deterrent
    to potential criminals, Watson
    said.
    One would think that it
    helps prevent a sex offender
    from preying on little children
    when he knows his identity and
    address are out there on the
    Web, Watson said. It should
    also be effective as parents of
    children can become better
    informed about what potential
    dangers to their children may be
    living in the vicinity.
    But McAllister said that the
    list wouldnt do much to pre-
    vent such crimes because so
    many sex crimes go unreported
    that the list is not indicative of
    precisely who commits them.
    Only one in every four rapes
    and sexual assaults are reported
    to law enforcement, according
    to the Crime Victims Council, a
    non-profit victims rights advo-
    cacy group. Of sexually abused
    children in grades five through
    12, fewer than half of the boys
    and only three out of every 10
    girls report the crime.
    Crenshaw agreed that the list
    would mislead the public into
    thinking that they knew where
    all potential criminals were.
    I dont want the registry to
    create false security, Crenshaw
    said. There are far more
    The List
    CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
    In a situation like that, I dont consider that to be a sexual offender. Im more concerned
    about pedophiles; Im more concerned about serial rapists, people of that nature.

    offenders in our community
    than are on the list and most are
    known to the victim family
    members, friends, people we
    trust. We need to teach our kids
    what they need to know from an
    early age: That certain behaviors
    are simply wrong, no matter who
    is doing them, and to tell us
    when they happen.
    Yvonne Cournoyer, program
    director for Stop It Now!, a
    nationwide group that offers
    counseling to those who fear
    they might become sex offend-
    ers, said the list by itself wasnt
    protecting the community
    because so many people are not
    on it.
    It creates a big sense of, If
    someone is not on that list, I
    dont need to worry about them,
    and thats a big fallacy,
    Cournoyer said.
    Critics of the list also argue
    that the public knowing that an
    offender lives nearby doesnt do
    much to protect them anyway.
    McAllister said that some
    offenders would continue to
    commit their crimes even if they
    knew they were being watched,
    and that the list only told the
    public where they lived, not
    what they actually did.
    A lot of them are going to re-
    offend even if its known,
    McAllister said. All it tells you
    is where they live, not where
    theyre going to be.
    UNEQUAL OPPORTUNITY
    EMPLOYMENT
    The registry wont reveal
    where they work, either. But for
    many of the registered sex
    offenders, the registry makes a
    job difficult to come by, even
    as a condition for their parole.
    Bourgeois said it was
    the stigma he faced as
    a registered sex offender
    that made it nearly
    impossible to get a job.
    Because he was
    required to disclose
    his offense to
    employers, he
    found it difficult to
    be taken serious-
    ly by those he
    i n t e r v i e w e d
    with, especially
    when they discov-
    ered the offense
    involved a child.
    When asked on
    an application
    whether he had ever
    been convicted of a felony, he
    would write, Yes, will discuss in
    interview. He said it always
    came up in the interview, and
    employers would not react
    favorably when they learned that
    his felony was sexual in nature,
    and more so when they learned
    the technical charge involved a
    child.
    If you have a pile of applica-
    tions and you have 15 people
    applying for one job and youve
    written that youre a sex
    offender, you go to the bottom of
    the pile, Bourgeois said.
    And when they discussed it in
    the interview?
    As soon as you say, sexual
    offense, you could see the way
    they would react, and you would
    know, Bourgeois said, his voice
    trailing off.
    Another convicted sex
    offender who lives in Lawrence
    said he encountered trouble
    keeping jobs when his cowork-
    ers learned about his criminal
    past from the registry.
    Paul, who asked that his
    real name not be used for this
    story, said that after his convic-
    tion for aggravated indecent lib-
    erties with a child, he lost his job
    as a telemarketer when a female
    co-worker discovered his con-
    viction on the Web site. He was
    fired one day after she com-
    plained to management.
    She said she didnt feel safe
    at work, Paul said. I looked
    through all their policies; the
    only thing you had to report was
    for drugs. In Kansas, you can get
    fired for anything.
    He didnt disclose his convic-
    tion when he later applied for
    and received a job at Wal-Mart.
    But management eventually
    found out about it and it became
    an issue at work, he said.
    I do believe it affected job
    promotion and pay, he said.
    Everything
    I did wrong was
    looked at with a magnifying
    glass. I wanted to work in sport-
    ing goods but you cant sell guns
    when you have a felony. Even
    though I knew every computer
    system there, I couldnt take a
    promotion.
    He eventually grew tired of his
    dead-end status at Wal-Mart and
    quit.
    Im pissed off at the world at
    this point, he said.
    He now works in construc-
    tion in Lawrence, where he said
    no longer had to worry about job
    security related to
    his offense now that he
    holds a union card.
    Crenshaw, the ther-
    apist, said a rocky
    and inconsistent
    job situation was
    dangerous for sex
    offenders and
    made it more dif-
    ficult to return to
    their normal lives.
    If people cant get jobs, then
    they suffer, and their family suf-
    fers, Crenshaw said. Moreover,
    joblessness can be a significant
    contributor to further antisocial
    behavior. Working is a key to
    rehabilitation.
    Stacey Mann, advocacy servi-
    ces coordinator for the Kansas
    Coalition Against Sexual and
    Domestic Violence, said it was
    inappropriate for sex offenders
    like Bourgeois to blame their
    plight on the registry.
    That is a concern and a prob-
    lem that all sex offenders face,
    Mann said. Those convictions
    are public record, regardless of it
    being a sex offense or being on a
    registry.
    Branson, the district attor-
    ney, said all criminals had to face
    the prospect of disclosing their
    criminal background to a prospec-
    tive employer, and sex offenders
    werent any different.
    I dont think thats
    different from any
    other person
    who has com-
    mitted a
    f e l o n y ,
    Branson said.
    The moral of
    that is: If youre
    worried about
    getting a job in
    the future, dont
    commit a crime
    now.
    Fischli, the cor-
    rections specialist,
    agreed that there
    would be some
    jobs that convicted sex
    offenders couldnt get,
    such as at a school or a hos-
    pital. For any job, he said, the
    onus was on offenders to
    show that they had changed
    from the time they had been
    convicted.
    For most jobs, it really comes
    down to the offender articulat-
    ing where he is now as opposed
    to where he was then, Fischli
    said.
    HOME ISNT WHERE THE
    SEX OFFENDER IS
    It doesnt get much easier
    when the offender seeks a place
    to live. The stigma of being a sex
    offender in a community and
    having the residence appear on a
    map makes the
    offender an outcast in
    the neighborhood. Many
    dont feel welcome and
    have difficulty finding a
    landlord willing to
    lease to them.
    Teresa Jacobs, program
    manager for the Jacob Wetterling
    Foundation a victims rights
    organization named after an 8-
    year-old Minnesota boy who dis-
    appeared in 1989 said the
    inability to maintain a steady liv-
    ing environment was a danger to
    the offender and the community.
    The less stable the living situ-
    ation, the more at-risk they are
    to re-offend, Jacobs said.
    Bourgeois didnt re-offend,
    but he said finding a place to live
    was infuriating.
    When he was released from
    the correctional facility, he
    couldnt immediately find a
    landlord who would approve his
    rental application. He bounced
    around from one friends house
    to another, never staying in one
    place for long.
    His transience prevented him
    from receiving mail from the KBI
    that was supposed to track
    where he was. This made him
    automatically in violation of his
    registration. Once he finally did
    find a place to live, he was
    arrested for failing to keep up
    with his registration.
    STILL THERE
    McAllister said
    despite many problems with the
    sex offender registry law, the list
    isnt going away anytime soon
    because its too popular politically.
    However, Rep. Sloan said that
    even with its benefits, he didnt
    rule out the possibility that the
    list might need to be altered
    somewhat.
    It serves the public by giving
    them some notice, Sloan said.
    Whether the list is updated regu-
    larly enough or accurate enough,
    thats something that technically
    needs to be addressed.
    Even with its shortcomings,
    district attorney Branson said
    they paled in comparison to the
    possibility of even one more
    child falling victim to a sex
    offender.
    There are few crimes out
    there that evoke a response from
    the public like sex crimes,
    Branson said. Theres not a
    community outcry that there is a
    theft offender next door.
    As for Bourgeois, he still lives
    in Lawrence where he is
    engaged. His fiance is four
    years younger than he is, a larger
    age difference than the one that
    got him arrested at age 18.
    That age separation means
    nothing now, but I still get
    lumped together with these
    other sex offenders, Bourgeois
    said.
    He also has a two-and-a-
    half year old son.
    He works construction in
    Kansas City and hopes to
    save enough money to go
    to school. He is off
    parole and has paid his
    final court fees.
    Bourgeois said he
    was close to finally
    moving forward
    with his life, but
    having his name
    and photo on
    the list his
    scarlet letter
    was one
    hurdle he
    couldnt quite leap over.
    He was recently brought in for
    questioning by Lawrence police
    who were investigating an inci-
    dent where a man exposed him-
    self to young girls in a nearby
    park.
    Bourgeois said investigators
    told him it was routine proce-
    dure to question all sex offenders
    in the area.
    Although he was quickly
    cleared of involvement, he said
    the stigma of his scarlet letter
    was still hurtful.
    Its demoralizing, Bourgeois
    said. It makes you feel like
    other people think youre a
    degenerate.
    Right now, hes working to get
    the offense itself expunged from
    his record.
    I can get it expunged next
    year. It would be nice not to
    have to deal with it anymore, he
    said.
    Through it all, he has never
    visited the KBI Web site to look
    at his own name and picture on
    the list.
    I told myself I didnt need it,
    Bourgeois said. I know whats
    happened in my life and I know
    what Ive done. I felt it would
    lend credibility to it, which it
    doesnt have.

    One falafel or two?
    Bridey
    Maidhof,
    Overland Park
    freshman,
    hands a falafel
    to a customer
    on Wescoe
    Beach yester-
    day afternoon
    while Laura
    Albert,
    Memphis,
    Tenn., fresh-
    man, prepares
    pita. The two
    were selling
    the falafels
    with the Hillel
    group, which
    does so
    monthly. Albert
    said yesterdays
    sales were spe-
    cial, though,
    because Hillel
    provided Israeli
    food and activ-
    ities in com-
    memoration of
    Israeli inde-
    pendence day,
    which is today.
    The group discussed not
    enacting the college tuition plan
    until the five-year fixed tuition
    plan had begun in Fall 2007,
    Bentley said. By that time, stu-
    dents would not have to pay
    increased tuition each year at
    the University of Kansas.
    Thats what we heard over
    and over: too much tuition, too
    quick, he said.
    Under the fixed tuition plan,
    students would not see a tuition
    increase during their four years
    at the University. The fixed
    tuition plan would last for five
    years beginning in Fall 2007.
    One of the main issues that
    will be further addressed will be
    how to reformulate the finan-
    cial aid and scholarships plan.
    That needs to be a major
    piece, he said.
    Under the failed plan, 20 per-
    cent of the fees would have
    gone toward financial aid and
    scholarships for CLAS majors.
    Some professional school
    students who would have had
    to pay the CLAS fees did not
    like that plan because they
    would not benefit from the
    financial aid, according to a
    previous article in The
    University Daily Kansan.
    But the group understands
    that if students are going be
    charged more money, then stu-
    dent leaders need to find out
    what exactly it is they want,
    Bentley said. The plans future,
    especially next year, will be taken
    slowly, said Kim Wilcox, dean of
    liberal arts and sciences.
    Lets be very systematic, very
    careful, very thorough on how
    we approach things, he said.
    Bentley said he thought the
    real fate of the plan would
    depend on Wilcox being hired
    as provost for Michigan State
    University.
    He put so much emotion
    and energy into it. I dont think
    it would be possible without
    him, Bentley said.
    Bentley said Wilcox reacted
    in a way that respected the stu-
    dents opinions.
    The way he responded
    proved he is a friend to the stu-
    dents and losing him would be
    a heavy blow, he said.
    Wilcox said the the plan
    would be able to survive with-
    out him because he had always
    relied on student advice and
    leadership. He said he would
    not know if he would be hired
    at Michigan State until June.
    The college has also managed
    to find its student voice over the
    past year and a half, he said.

    The properties range from
    1,400 square feet to 2,400
    square feet and cost between
    $200,000 and $480,000. Boyd
    said the lofts appealed to
    University faculty because they
    were travel-friendly.
    Without a yard or outdoor
    mailbox, residents can travel
    and not worry about yard main-
    tenance, Boyd said.
    Marian Hukle, coordinator
    of the bioscience initiative pro-
    gram, and her husband Jack
    Porter, chairman of the depart-
    ment of mathematics, will
    move to a loft on the third floor
    of the Hobbs Taylor building
    from their home in West
    Lawrence. Hukle said she
    would like the travel perks of
    living in a loft.
    If we want to travel, we can
    go and just lock the door, Hukle
    said. We already drive down-
    town every weekend. We wanted
    to live where we hung out.
    The lofts are located across
    the street from Last Call and the
    Bottleneck. Potential late-night
    noise shouldnt be a problem,
    though, Boyd said. The win-
    dows and the building are well-
    insulated, she said.
    But Hukle said it wouldnt
    matter if they werent.
    Living around young people
    will keep me alive, Hukle said.

    Now.
    On a quiet day in Washington, D.C., if the weath-
    er is right and youre out and about, you can witness
    a strange spectacle. A caravan of 32 cars rolls down
    Pennsylvania Avenue. Near the back, machine guns
    stick out of a black SUV. As the vice president sits
    comfortably behind tinted windows, his movements
    are marked by the appearance of erected roadblocks.
    I was talking with a professor friend of mine
    recently, and he said, This is the direction now.
    By that he meant: The United States is becoming a
    quasi-fascist state.
    Now before you sit down, dear reader, to
    remind me in a strongly-worded letter that Bush
    won the election and Im anti-American, please
    read on. None of the issues discussed here were on
    the 2004 ballot, including Dick Cheneys travel
    habits. And Im not anti-American. On the con-
    trary, I want to stem the ominous tide.
    Lets start 10 months ago, with the death of
    Ronald Reagan.
    The media coverage, as youll recall, was enor-
    mously positive: America had lost a great hero.
    Missing in the coverage was some perspective on
    what it meant for a nation to consider such a man
    one of its heroes. After all, Reagan was the guy who
    engaged in international terror campaigns through-
    out the 1980s. A journalist returning from Guatemala
    reported: One is tempted to believe that some peo-
    ple in the White House worship Aztec gods with
    the offering of Central American blood.
    Later that summer in 2004, the Swift Boat
    Veterans for Truth made minced meat out of
    Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry.
    The nation seemed evenly split on whether the
    Vietnam War had been a good idea.
    The war under question had nearly wiped out the
    country of South Vietnam in the 1960s. As many as
    four million Indo-Chinese perished, and tens of mil-
    lions more were displaced from their homes. Even
    so, Americans continued to wrestle with the moral
    questions presented by the conflict. Did we care
    about a few million peasants who we killed or not?
    Aside from Iraq, we could also discuss acts of
    aggression by the current administration. The CIA
    under President Bush government backed a coup to
    remove the democratically elected president of
    Venezuela, and the White House supported the over-
    throw of the president of Haiti, Jean Bertrand
    Aristide. The difference between the mainstream
    media coverage at home and the actual situation on
    the ground was the difference between night and day.
    I refuse to believe that everyone on the right of
    the political spectrum knows about these events
    and supports them. Maybe thats a part of growing
    up that I missed. But if not, this leaves the rest of us
    with an opportunity. We have to create a forum for
    unlimited debate, so that all issues are on the table.
    To do that, were going to have to get away from
    the corporate media and expand alternative
    resources. Start by inviting friends over to watch C-
    SPAN, where viewers can hear such voices as Noam
    Chomsky and Chalmers Johnson. Go to democra-
    cynow.org, which covered the story of the U.S. over-
    throw of President Aristide of Haiti. Publish your
    own rag and send it to prisoners at Leavenworth.
    Things are going to get worse before they get bet-
    ter. We could be bombing Iran by the time class
    resumes in the fall. Well feel small at first and peo-
    ple will call us nave. But remember: In 1965, 100
    people gathered on the Boston Common to protest
    the Vietnam War. On October 15, 1969, about two
    million people assembled in towns that had never
    seen an anti-war protest. And just six years later, the
    bombs had stopped dropping, the children had
    stopped crying and the soldiers had returned home.
    Shupe is an Augusta graduate student in
    journalism.
    I am a resident of Gertrude Sellards Pearson
    Hall. I am also an outraged resident of GSP Hall.
    Before I moved into the residence hall, there
    were a few things I was anxious about: sharing a
    bathroom with a whole floor of other girls, eating
    questionable residence hall food and what my
    roommate would be like.
    Never once did I think that I would have to
    fear for my safety on a regular basis. At the begin-
    ning of the year, I came home from work to find
    the parking lot fenced off with police tape and
    frantic girls chattering on their cell phones about
    how a resident was held at gun point and had her
    car stolen.
    From my residence hall room window, I
    watched again as the police came to investigate
    another incident involving a knife in the shad-
    owy, secluded parking lot.
    When I first was considering the University of
    Kansas, my parents and I went on a tour of the
    residence hall and one of the things we heard
    over and over again from the housing department
    was that the University planned on putting in
    cameras in the parking lot.
    I was unable to understand how two violent
    encounters could happen and we still werent get-
    ting cameras; I went to the Parking Departments
    open meeting in October with my concerns.
    There, I was told that it wasnt the Parking
    Departments problem.
    According to them, it was the police depart-
    ment that was responsible for the cameras.
    Instead of getting cameras, we got an extension of
    Jaywalk to Corbin Hall.
    Last week I came home to see three or four
    police officers on my floor and nervous girls talk-
    ing of a drug overdose involving two residents of
    my hall, one from my floor.
    The police came to my door to ask me ques-
    tions. Then, just two days later they came knock-
    ing again this time wanting to ask questions
    about an attempted rape that happened mere feet
    from our residence hall.
    Since all of these incidents, we have had
    absolutely no action or precautions taken to pre-
    vent further terrifying encounters.
    There were no floor meetings to talk about
    safety, no noticeable increase in police patrolling
    the parking lots and no one to come and talk to
    us about what to do in case we find ourselves in
    a similar situation.
    We have a problem here at GSP/Corbin.
    Unlike most problems at the residence halls,
    there is more at stake than the discomfort or
    inconvenience of the residents. This is something
    very serious that no one in University administra-
    tion seems to put as any type of priority.
    Something needs to change, and yes, it will
    take time and money. Honestly, I would be will-
    ing to pay more for my residence hall if I knew for
    a fact that I could feel safe living there.
    Part of the freshman experience is not clutch-
    ing your keys sharp edge out sprinting from the
    parking lot scared out of your mind that someone
    will try and assault you.
    We not only deserve what we were promised,
    but have a real and immediate need. Im not say-
    ing that cameras in the parking lot could have pre-
    vented any of the safety problems that we have had
    here at GSP/Corbin. Yet in light of the several
    dangerous incidents here at my residence hall, it is
    time for the University, the Parking Department
    and the Housing Department to step it up and
    start caring about the safety of the residents here at
    my residence hall.
    Tarbutton is an Overland Park freshman.
    When we are moving at
    the speed of life, we are
    bound to collide with each
    other. from the Crash
    movie trailer.
    This has been a semester full
    of surprises, some were expect-
    ed, others were not. I have
    concluded that through my
    opinion columns, I may have managed to land a
    spot in the Universitys top-10 list of most hated
    and controversial University Daily Kansan writ-
    ers.
    It seems that some of the student body was dis-
    pleased to put it mildly with the content of
    my columns. Despite those reactions, I believe I
    have fulfilled the duties assigned to me at the
    beginning of this semester.
    As an opinion columnist, you have the right
    to be biased. At the same time, I tried to be as
    straightforward as possible and leave little
    room for miscommunication or misunderstand-
    ing.
    As fate would have it, some readers managed to
    overreact to each of my articles because they
    refused to take the time to read the column
    fully and carefully and to give it serious
    thought.
    I am a confident individual, and therefore did
    not react negatively toward an e-mail in
    response to my column on rap music telling me
    that I am an ignorant racist who has disgraced the
    University and needs to go back to Africa.
    In fact, I would like to thank those who wrote
    to me for giving me the motivation that I needed
    to continue with my articles.
    As CNN reminds us, readers relinquish the
    full story for the convenient piecemeal observa-
    tion. I respect a readers opinion, but only when
    they have bothered to examine the entire col-
    umn.
    Simply reading the headline or portions of a
    column with which you agree is not what I expect
    from enlightened University students.
    I applied to be an opin-
    ion columnist to add some
    diversity to the Kansan, not to
    become the most controver-
    sial writer of the semester.
    When a publication lacks
    diversity, then some issues are
    not given the multiple per-
    spectives that they deserve.
    I decided to spice things up
    a little bit by sharing my outlook on some issues
    that are important to me.
    If I did not address issues that you thought
    were important and you thought that my articles
    were ludicrous, then you, too, can become an
    opinion columnist. Simply go the Kansan located
    in Stauffer-Flint and follow the road to writing
    guest columns we need the diversity.
    I had fun writing the columns, but I also
    learned a number of lessons.
    As the recently released film Crash warns,
    When we are moving at the speed of life, we are
    bound to collide with each other.
    More than ever, I am convinced that the
    University needs to take more concrete steps to
    better prepare us for those collisions. And
    because it is not only an institutional responsi-
    bility, we need to take individual steps as well.
    In order for this campus community to grow
    and for us to prepare ourselves for the world that
    lies beyond the Hill, students must learn to
    respect each others opinions no matter how
    unusual they might be. The truth is, the University
    will be your home until you graduate or as long as
    you are here.
    Therefore, it is up to you to make the most out
    of an exceedingly rare experience while you are
    here. These few years are unlike any that you will
    ever encounter.
    Attending college is not entirely about gaining
    book knowledge; it is also about gaining life les-
    sons through the people that we encounter.
    So, be prepared for those collisions.

    Perhaps all Catholics, including Catholic editors, need to
    realize that it's not the Vatican that needs to change its
    principles, but the lay Catholics who need to change their
    values and practices.

    Yeah, the new Star Wars movie is going to suck, but thats
    not going to stop me from dressing up as Yoda and going to
    the premiere showing. Anyone else with me on that one?
    Does anyone notice in the Guinness
    commercial that the guy drinks his
    suntan lotion instead of his beer?

    I cant think of anything right now.

    Yeah, I just got done with my journal-


    ism campaigns class, and Im now
    getting more stoned than humanly
    possible, which is not actually
    humanly possible.

    Im pretty sure I just saw a guy wear-


    ing capris.

    We didnt grow moustaches just because ESPN was


    coming to town to watch us play. We grew the mous-
    taches because of one Tom Selleck, aka Magnum P.I.,
    the slickest-looking man ever.

    Man, I feel so much like Pedro right now.

    The magic is back.
    George Lucas spectacular
    Star Wars: Episode III
    Revenge of the Sith, which
    opens in theaters worldwide a
    week from today, recaptures the
    high-energy fun that made this
    series so popular in the first
    place. Its the best episode after
    A New Hope and The
    Empire Strikes Back.
    Providing a bridge between
    Lucas prequels and his beloved
    original trilogy, this chapter
    sheds light on why Anakin
    Skywalker became Darth Vader.
    In the thrilling opening
    sequence, Jedi fighters battle
    Separatist droids above the city-
    planet of Coruscant. Theres an
    interactive feel to the whizzing
    ships and dogfight aerial maneu-
    vers as Anakin and Obi-Wan
    Kenobi race to rescue Chancellor
    Palpatine from the clutches of the
    evil General Grievous. Count
    Dooku also returns in a scene
    that mirrors the climax of
    Return of the Jedi and sets a
    course for Anakins seduction by
    the dark side of the Force.
    General Grievous is one of two
    super villains who dominate
    Revenge of the Sith. A human-
    robot hybrid with a hunchback
    and a terrible cough, this comput-
    er-generated baddie should join
    the ranks of such series favorites
    as Jabba the Hutt and Boba Fett.
    But the real star of the show
    is Ian McDiarmid as Palpatine,
    who offers such dubious
    advice as, Good is a point of
    view, Anakin. McDiarmid
    exudes operatic evil in a suc-
    cession of atmospheric scenes
    that are among the darkest of
    the saga. His transformation
    from the soft-spoken chancel-
    lor to the cackling, ashen-faced
    emperor is absolutely chilling.
    As Anakin, Hayden
    Christensen is less whiny and
    more brooding this time around.
    When freed from the constraints
    of romantic melodrama,
    Christensen shows real acting
    chops. Ewan McGregor also fares
    better, finally coming into his own
    in the long shadow of Alec
    Guinnesss original Obi-Wan.
    Overall, the film represents
    a triumphant comeback for
    Lucas, who seems intent on
    playing out the wildest fan-
    tasies of the Jedi faithful.
    Obi-Wan squares off against
    General Grievous, who can
    wield four lightsabers with two
    sets of robotic hands.
    Anakin and Obi-Wan clash
    in an exhilarating duel on the
    volcanic planet of Mustafar.
    And when Anakin finally
    catches that first breath of
    mechanically-filtered air
    through the mask of Darth
    Vader, its not just a great Star
    Wars moment. Its an all-time
    great movie moment.
    Revenge of the Sith isnt
    entirely devoid of the problems
    that plagued The Phantom
    Menace and Attack of the
    Clones. Christensen and
    Natalie Portman suffer through a
    few early scenes. But the artifi-
    cial tone of the previous episodes
    is gone. This is an action-packed,
    emotionally-rich and thematical-
    ly-ambitious piece of cinema.
    Its also the culmination of a
    lifes work for Lucas, who evi-
    dently still has a few surprises
    left in him. His film isnt perfect,
    but its everything Star Wars
    fans hoped it would be.

    Small plane causes post-9/11 Washington to panic
    WASHINGTON A small
    plane strayed within three miles
    of the White House yesterday,
    leading to frantic evacuation of
    the Executive Mansion and the
    Capitol with military jets scram-
    bling to intercept the aircraft
    and firing flares to steer it away.
    A pilot and student pilot, en
    route from Pennsylvania to an
    air show in North Carolina,
    were taken into custody after
    their flight sparked a frenzy of
    activity that tested the capitals
    post-Sept. 11 response system.
    The government decided not
    to press charges after interview-
    ing the men and determining the
    incident was an accident. They
    were navigating by sight and were
    lost, Kevin Madden, Justice
    Department spokesman, said.
    Officials had been concerned
    because the plane appeared to
    be on a straight-in shot toward
    the center of the Washington
    area, Terrance W. Gainer,
    Capitol Police Chief, said.
    The White House raised its
    threat level to red the highest
    for eight minutes, spokesman
    Scott McClellan said. Vice
    President Dick Cheney, first
    lady Laura Bush and former first
    lady Nancy Reagan, overnight-
    ing at the White House for a
    special event, were moved to
    secure locations.
    President Bush, biking with a
    high school friend at the
    Patuxent Wildlife Research
    Center in Beltsville, Md., was
    unaware of the midday, 15-
    minute scare as it was occurring.
    His security detail knew of the
    raised threat level.
    At the Capitol, lawmakers,
    tourists and reporters raced out of
    the building, dodging the speed-
    ing motorcades of Latin
    American leaders who had been
    meeting with members of
    Congress. House Speaker Dennis
    Hastert, R-Ill., was hustled to a
    secure location. Police, rushing to
    get House Minority leader Nancy
    Pelosi out of the building, lifted
    her out of her shoes.
    Armed security officers raced
    through the Capitol shouting for
    people to leave.
    The incident began at 11:28
    a.m., when Federal Aviation
    Administration radar picked up
    the aircraft, a small two-seater
    Cessna 152 with high wings.
    Gainer said the first alert went
    out when the plane was 21 miles
    17 minutes from the city.

    Junior first baseman Jared
    Schweitzer extended his hitting
    streak to 24 games last night,
    but Kansas fell to Southwest
    Missouri State, 15-6.
    The Jayhawks (33-23) were
    behind from the start and were
    unable to keep the momentum
    gained last weekend in their series
    victory against Texas. The Bears
    grabbed a 2-0 lead in the first
    inning off a bases-loaded single by
    sophomore catcher Matt Weglarz.
    After Kansas cut the lead in
    half in the second inning on a
    RBI single by senior catcher Sean
    Richardson, SMS went back to
    work. The Bears scored five times
    in the bottom half of the frame.
    The rally was highlighted by a
    two-run double by sophomore
    outfielder Chris Taylor.
    SMS (18-29) never looked
    back while running away from
    Kansas. Three more runs in the
    third inning made the score 10-
    1. The only innings in which the
    Bears didnt score were the fifth
    and sixth.
    Freshman starting pitcher
    Tyson Corley struggled in his first
    start since a no-decision at
    Wichita State last week. He strug-
    gled mightily, only lasting 1 1/3
    inning and allowing six runs. His
    record fell to 1-2 on the season.
    It wasnt just Corley who was
    roughed up by Bear hitting. A
    combination of six Jayhawk
    pitchers took the mound on the
    evening and allowed 14 earned
    runs on 16 hits.
    Kansas coach Ritch Price said
    he was disappointed that he
    didnt get a better performance
    from Corley.
    We needed Tyson to go deep
    into the game so we could set up
    our bullpen, Price said. He was
    just out of sync from the start.
    The Jayhawks also hurt their
    cause by committing two errors.
    Richardson and junior outfielder
    Gus Milner each had one mis-
    cue. Kansas has racked up a Big
    12 Conference-worst 103 errors
    this season.
    SMS sophomore Brett
    Sinkbeil earned the victory for
    the Bears. He pitched three
    innings and allowed one run
    while striking out three. It was
    his fifth victory of the year.
    Kansas coach Ritch Price said
    he was disappointed that the
    Jayhawks couldnt keep their
    momentum going.
    We wanted to get a quality
    effort to keep on rolling, but
    obviously, that didnt happen,
    Price said.
    Schweitzer provided one of
    the few bright spots of the night
    for the Jayhawks. His solo home
    run in the fifth inning extended
    his school-record streak. It was
    his seventh homer of the year
    and third in four games.
    Price said he elected to leave
    pitchers Kodiak Quick and Sean
    Land in Lawrence. Both players
    could usually see some action out
    of the bullpen during mid-week
    games, but Price said he wanted
    to make sure they were both rest-
    ed for the next conference series
    against Missouri.
    The Jayhawks will travel Friday
    to Columbia, Mo., for the three-
    game set. The matchup between
    the two rivals will take on added
    importance with the Big 12 sched-
    ule winding down. The Jayhawks
    sit in the eighth and final confer-
    ence tournament position.
    Missouri is third in the conference.

    Age doesnt
    quell urge to
    go to the
    extreme
    As we walked into HyVee, we knew it would be
    a special night. A hand-drawn sign near the
    entrance said Extreme Savings Zone. We were
    there for three things: jalapeos, milk and ciga-
    rettes.
    These were the ingredients for our extreme
    challenge. We werent quite sure what it would
    be yet. All we knew was that we wanted to test
    our physical limits. We wanted to puke. We want-
    ed to cry.
    My friends and I have always enjoyed these
    kinds of challenges. Its not just us. Its our gener-
    ation, its college, its America. Just turn on the TV.
    Shows such as Jackass, Survivor and Spike
    TVs Most Extreme Elimination Challenge are
    popular because we love seeing each other win
    and lose in tests of the disgusting, the dangerous
    and the obscene. Its the closest we can get to see-
    ing heroes rise and fall before our eyes, like the
    ancient battles of the Roman Coliseum.
    Some of my fondest memories are from testing
    my limits on the track and soccer field. But theres
    something equally memorable that comes with
    creating your own challenge. Theres glory in say-
    ing, Sounds crazy, huh? Well, I did it.
    When professional wrestling was at the peak of
    its popularity and I was in middle school, a group
    of my friends and I formed our own professional-
    style wrestling league. We called it Extreme
    Backyard Wrestling. We drew up our own cos-
    tumes and gimmicks and powerbombed each
    other on a backyard trampoline. I have two loose
    teeth to show for it.
    In high school, after the movie Fight Club
    came out, we started our own fight club, which
    we code-named Shag the Dingo. Wed drive to
    an empty parking garage or parking lot on Friday
    night and wail on each other with cheap kickbox-
    ing gloves that made our knuckles sore for a
    week.
    One New Years Eve, some of my friends did
    the lactose challenge. Popularized on Jackass, it
    consists of drinking a gallon of milk in an hour
    without puking. It supposedly cant be done.
    Ill never forget the image of my noble friend,
    Brendan Irving, holding the empty milk jug over
    his head 48 minutes after the contest began, his
    spiky black hair shining in the moonlight, yelling,
    Every man does one great thing in his life! and
    slamming the jug to the ground.
    This week I felt the old familiar pang, the urge
    to go out there and tear it up. Perhaps its the
    ancient blood of the Celtic warrior coursing
    through my veins that makes me feel this way. Or
    maybe I just needed a distraction from a heavy
    load of tests and papers.
    I knew as I rode my bike to my friends apart-
    ment that I would find willing accomplices on my
    mission of self-destruction. I was right. I found
    them watching TV on the couch. We brain-
    stormed for a while and decided that the contest
    would have three parts. We bought supplies at the
    store and the challenge was on. My seventh-grade
    locker partner, Ben Suh, deemed it The Inferno.
    Part One: And old-fashioned jalapeo eating
    contest. Eat an entire raw jalapeo pepper in two
    bites or less. The last one to take a drink wins.
    Its almost clich to have a jalapeo eating con-
    test these days, but the old green pepper still does
    the trick. The first few minutes were hell for the
    five of us. We stared around the kitchen table at
    each other and saw faces gradually turning red as
    the heat grew on tongues and lips. Sweat ran
    down cheeks. Snot poured from noses. A bottle of
    Gatorade laughed at us from the middle of the
    table.
    After 10 minutes, the peppers heat had mostly
    passed. Someone grabbed a bottle of Tabasco
    from the fridge, and we passed it around and
    drank it. Still, nobody cracked. We microwaved
    five spicy burritos, smothered them in disgusting
    spicy mustard, Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce and
    Tabasco, and quickly ate them. All but one of us
    finished.
    Part Two: Chug a quart of milk, then get
    punched in the stomach. The first one to finish
    the milk wins, as long as you dont puke after the
    punch.
    This contest really got to me. Rob Ingersol was
    the clear winner, finishing the milk in 45 seconds.
    The instant he tossed his carton aside, the non-
    partisan puncher Jordan Baranowski delivered
    him a wallop to the stomach. Rob was unfazed.

    Team balances practice, tests
    While most students are just wor-
    ried about their finals, some athletes
    are adding on the pressure of com-
    peting the weekend right before their
    tests. The KU womens rowing team
    competes this weekend in the
    NCAA Central/Southern Regionals
    in Oak Ridge, Tenn.
    The team could potentially be
    competing during the week of finals
    as well as in the NCAA
    Championships held in Sacramento,
    Calif. The Championships are May
    19-27.
    Its a very stressful time for us,
    senior rower Erin Hennessey said.
    While getting ready for Regionals,
    were having to study for finals as
    well. Its not like we can pull all-
    nighters and still be ready for prac-
    tices.
    But the team is used to this type of
    scheduling. Theyve been doing it
    every year.
    Last year it was just like this,
    senior rower Ashlea Kramer said.
    Were still able to keep our focus on
    rowing. Sometimes were able to
    study on the plane, so that helps.
    The team departs from Allen
    Fieldhouse at 1:45 this afternoon.
    The team will practice upon arrival
    and practice on Friday. Competition
    will start 9 a.m. Saturday. Heats will
    start in the morning with semi-finals
    in the afternoon. All the final com-
    petitions will be held on Sunday.
    When the team starts competing
    on Saturday, a lot depends on the
    first race.
    One of our main goals is to come
    out strong in every race, senior
    rower Rachel Chapman said. In our
    first race, we really have to come out
    strong because it determines our
    placing.
    The Jayhawks are entered in the
    First and Second Varsity Eight races,
    the First Varsity Four and an open
    four. Theres about 21 teams entered
    in the Varsity Eight races and about
    17 entered in the Varsity Four race.
    We have to make sure were in
    the top three of the heats to set us up
    for the semi-finals, assistant coach
    Jennifer Myers said. Centrals is
    good for us because were up against
    a lot of good schools.
    One of the big schools is Texas,
    which the team hopes to avenge.
    Last time they raced against each
    other, Kansas was ahead for the first
    1000 meters before Texas took it at
    the end.
    Were definitely planning on
    going for Texas, senior coxswain
    Crystal Reed said.
    Senior coxswain LeAnna Kemp
    feels the same way.
    Were really hoping to beat Texas
    this time, she said. We have to
    prove to ourselves that not only we
    can beat them, but other bigger
    schools as well.
    For the First Varsity Eight, the
    team is up against Cincinnati,
    Indiana, Michigan State and
    Louisville.
    Its not all about Texas, its about
    going out there and racing our best
    and beating our time, Reed said.
    Qualifying for NCAA is not out of
    the picture either.
    A majority of qualifying for the
    NCAA Championships is based off
    of Regionals. There are only 16 spots

    Freshman decathlete has potential
    One quick glance at Matt
    Baysinger and you can tell hes an
    easy-going guy.
    Flip-flops are mandatory. Bear
    hugs are unavoidable within three
    feet of him. But under that layer of
    kind, inviting bravado, a passionate
    desire burns.
    Im a very two-faced person
    when it comes to competing and the
    rest of my life, Baysinger said.
    When it comes to athletics in gen-
    eral, Im a very competitive guy.
    Baysinger, Overland Park fresh-
    man, wasnt hand-fed the position of
    sprinter on the University of Kansas
    track and field team. His desire to
    compete at a collegiate level earned
    him a position in a freshman class of
    runners, a class with potential to
    make Kansas track and field become
    an elite program.
    By the time Baysinger competed
    as a senior for Blue Valley West, he
    knew there was more awaiting him.
    I knew I wanted to run track in
    college, but my times werent good
    enough to be a scholarship athlete,
    he said.
    He held three
    individual and four
    relays records in
    high school. He
    narrowed it down
    to Kansas and
    Emporia State.
    Baysinger said he
    wanted to come to
    Kansas to become
    a decathlete.
    Earlier that semester, Paul
    Hefferon, then a senior at Blue
    Valley West, had received a scholar-
    ship at Kansas. Hefferon and
    Baysinger decided to be roommates.
    So he trained to be a decathlete,
    which was not an easy task. Training
    three to four hours, seven days a
    week stretches even the most dedi-
    cated athletes.
    It was rough, to say the least,
    Baysinger said. It took some out of
    me.
    In a 700-meter time trial before
    winter break last year, Baysinger
    showed what he was made of.
    I ended up beating almost all of
    the 800-meter and 400-meter run-
    ners, Baysinger said. I took a lot of
    people by surprise.
    In the first home meet of the sea-
    son, the Jayhawk Invitational,
    Baysinger turned more heads by
    winning the 600-yard race.
    Thats when it was set in stone,
    Baysinger said.
    He continued his streak in the
    600-yard race, placing third at the
    Husker Invitational and seventh in
    the Big 12 Indoor Championships.
    Baysinger has found older sprint-
    ers as role models, including team-
    mates Jeremy Mims, Iowa City,
    Iowa, senior, and Brandon Hodges,
    Hot Springs, Ark., senior.
    They helped me out and didnt
    let me slack, Baysinger said. They
    really helped me with that process a
    lot.
    But theres more to the freshman
    than competing. His roots grow
    deep back into his old high school,
    where he is active in the community.
    Last semester Baysinger returned
    home every Monday night to lead
    Young Life, a Christian youth
    group.
    I definitely would like to be help-
    ing with Young Life or ministry
    down the road, Baysinger said.
    Baysinger belongs to a freshman
    class with great potential. Julius
    Jiles, Kansas City, Mo., freshman,
    earned the 2004 Missouri Track
    Athlete of the Year. Ekaterina
    Sultanova, Krasnodar, Russia, fresh-
    man, broke the womens pole vault
    record in her second collegiate
    meet.
    Theres going to be a lot to look
    forward to in the future, Baysinger
    said. Me and Julius give Jeremy and
    Brandon a lot of crap on whose class
    is better.
    Kansas track and field fans have
    another three years to find out.

    Kansas City extends bid for NASCAR
    KANSAS CITY, Kan. Other
    cities might have more stock car rac-
    ing history, bigger international pro-
    files, brighter star power.
    But backers of a bid to win the
    NASCAR Hall of Fame for Kansas
    City, Kan. where Kansas
    Speedway is entering just its fifth
    season of operation said yesterday
    that they represented the sports
    future and NASCARs best chance to
    reach beyond its traditional fan base
    in the southeastern United States.
    We are the future, and we believe
    we can extend the brand, said Jeff
    Boerger, president of Kansas
    Speedway. Its now becoming an
    international sport, and what better
    location than having it in the center of
    the United States?
    Other sites NASCAR has asked to
    submit proposals by May 31 are
    Atlanta; the state of Michigan;
    Richmond, Va.; Daytona Beach, Fla.;
    and Charlotte, N.C. NASCAR could
    make its final decision by the end of
    the year.
    Charlotte, where many Nextel
    Cup teams are based, has enlisted
    team owner Rick Hendrick to lead
    its effort. Richmond, where stock car
    races were running two years before
    NASCARs founding in 1948, has
    also touted its deep roots. And
    Daytona Beach, where NASCAR
    has its headquarters, also boasts the
    circuits most famous race in the
    Daytona 500.
    Theres a great sense of history in
    those cities, a great sense of the past
    and of what NASCAR is all about,
    said Bob Marcusse, president and
    chief executive officer of the Kansas
    City Area Development Council.
    We certainly honor that and appre-
    ciate all that has been. But we also
    understand that theres a future for
    this sport, and we look forward to
    being the community that best posi-
    tions NASCAR for its future.
    Other sports have gone with his-
    tory, though, when selecting sites for
    their halls: the Pro Football Hall of
    Fame in Canton, Ohio, the
    Basketball Hall of Fame in
    Springfield, Mass., and the Baseball
    Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y.
    Obviously, the other communities
    think were the underdog, Boerger
    said. But thats a good place to be in,
    because we have nothing to lose.
    The Kansas City area is not reveal-
    ing much about its bid for the hall,
    which would be located just east of
    Kansas Speedway in the booming
    Village West tourism and retail dis-
    trict.
    Kansas Citys bid also includes the
    Kansas City, Mo., architectural firm
    HOK SportsVenueEvent and the New
    York-based exhibit designers DMCD,
    Inc. Those companies presentations
    will remain secret until they are deliv-
    ered to NASCAR officials, Marcusse
    said.
    Our belief is that our customer
    happens to be the board of directors of
    NASCAR, said Marcusse, who esti-
    mated the project would cost $100
    million and cover about 100,000
    square feet.

    New women to impact KU aquatic squads
    Last week, Kansas swimming
    coach Clark Campbell
    announced that four recruits will
    join the 2005-2006 swimming
    and diving squads. The new
    women include three high school
    seniors and one transfer student
    from Clemson University.
    S h a n n a
    Bradbury, Bri
    Br ot her s on,
    D a n i e l l e
    Hermann and
    W h i t n e y
    Winslow are
    the signees
    recruited by
    assistant coach
    and recruiting
    coor di nat or
    Jen Fox, Campbell said.
    Brotherson will join the
    Jayhawks as a transfer from
    Clemson University. She is familiar
    with collegiate swimming through
    the Atlantic Coast Conference, so
    her transition between conferences
    will be easier. During her freshman
    year at Clemson, Brotherson
    recorded two top-three times. At
    the Nike Cup Preliminaries,
    Brotherson finished the 200 indi-
    vidual medley in 2:06.68 for the
    third-fastest time at Clemson. In
    the 400 individual medley,
    Brotherson captured a 4:32.24, the
    second fastest time at Clemson.
    Campbell said Brotherson
    would contribute immediately
    in the butterfly and individual
    medley events.
    Bradbury completed her high
    school swimming career in
    February at the Colorado High
    School State swim meet. The
    Arapahoe Warriors captured
    fourth place as a team at the
    meet, which took place in Fort
    Collins, Colo. Individually,
    Bradbury finished with a
    2:10:86, which secured her sev-
    enth place overall in the 200
    individual medley. She finished
    ninth place in the 500 freestyle
    with a time of 5:16.13, and also
    was a member of the 200-free-
    style relay, which finished fourth.
    Bradbury also competes with
    the Greenwood Tiger Sharks
    club team, and Campbell said
    that her versatility and variety of
    strokes would make her an asset
    to the Jayhawks next season.
    Hermann will add depth for the
    Jayhawks next season in the
    breaststroke and individual med-
    ley events. Her high school coach,
    Dan Witteeven, said he told
    Hermann to pick a place where
    she liked both the school and the
    swimming program. He said she
    was excited to come to Kansas.
    She loved the girls she met
    when she visited, he said.
    Hermann holds six records at
    Lake Park High School in
    Itasca, Ill., and she is one of the
    top swimmers in the state,
    Witteeven said.
    Hermanns specialties as a
    senior include the 200 individ-
    ual medley, the 100 breaststroke
    and the 100 backstroke. Her
    fastest recorded medley time
    during the 2004-2005 season
    was 2:05.92. In the breaststroke,
    Hermann swam a quick 1:05.24.
    Although she will be key to the
    individual medley and breast-
    stroke at Kansas, Witteeven said
    she also was a great backstroker.
    Winslow, of Manhattan, spe-
    cialized in sprint freestyle events
    in high school under coach Jerry
    Carpenter. Campbell said
    Winslow was one of the top
    sprint and middle-distance free-
    stylers in the state. He said he
    saw her as a Big 12 finalist.
    Although the Jayhawks will
    lose six seniors at the conclusion
    of the 2004-2005 school year,
    Campbell said the Jayhawks were
    optimistic that the incoming tal-
    ent would accommodate the loss.

    Royals fall to league worst
    TORONTO The Kansas
    City Royals were no better with
    a new manager.
    Alex Rios hit a go-ahead dou-
    ble, and the Toronto Blue Jays
    scored five times in the eighth
    inning to rally past Kansas City
    12-9 yesterday.
    Less than 24 hours after man-
    ager Tony Pena resigned, the
    Royals dropped to a major
    league-worst 8-26. Kansas City
    had a season-high 16 hits in its
    first game under Bob Schaefer,
    but it wasnt enough.
    The Blue Jays rallied in the
    eighth on Corey Koskies solo
    homer off Ambiorix Burgos (1-
    2), Rios two-run double, Ken
    Huckabys run-scoring bunt and
    Orlando Hudsons RBI double.
    Shea Hillenbrand homered
    and drove in four runs for the
    Blue Jays, who swept the three-
    game series.
    Matt Stairs and Emil Brown
    hit consecutive homers off Scott
    Schoeneweis in the seventh to
    give Kansas City a 9-7 lead.
    Stairs homer was a two-run
    shot.
    Pena called Stairs after step-
    ping down late Tuesday follow-
    ing a 3-1 loss in Toronto. Before
    yesterdays game, Stairs said
    Penas resignation should serve
    as a wake-up call.
    If guys think its going to be
    so easy from here on out, and
    continue playing the way we
    are, they have another think
    coming, Stairs said.
    Stairs went 3-for-4 with a
    walk and three RBIs for the
    Royals, who have lost 17 of 20.
    Schaefer, who had been the
    teams bench coach, replaced
    Pena on an interim basis.
    Miguel Batista (2-0) pitched 1
    1-3 innings for the victory.
    Schaefer changed the lineup
    by making Angel Berroa the
    leadoff hitter, and dropping
    David DeJesus to second ahead
    of Mike Sweeney.
    The move worked as Toronto
    starter David Bush hit Berroa
    with the second pitch of the
    game before DeJesus hit an RBI
    double. Sweeney struck out, but
    Stairs hit an RBI single.
    Kansas City starter Denny
    Bautista walked the first batter
    he faced Hudson before
    Frank Catalanotto singled.
    Hillenbrand homered to left,
    giving Toronto a 3-2 lead.

    Tony Pena resigns
    KANSAS CITY, Mo.
    Hiring a new manager may not
    be as simple as finding the man
    the Kansas City Royals want. It
    will have to be someone who
    wants the Royals.
    This small-market franchise
    has fallen upon hard times.
    Deep problems may prove
    sobering to any would-be suc-
    cessor to Tony Pena, who
    resigned Tuesday night with the
    worst record (8-25) and second-
    lowest team payroll ($36.9 mil-
    lion) in the major leagues.
    The Royals are about to go 21
    straight years without making
    the postseason. They lost a fran-
    chise-record 104 games in 2004.
    Pena, the AL Manager of the
    Year after a surprising 83-79 mark
    in 2003, did help develop some
    promising pitching prospects
    with Zack Greinke, Runelvys
    Hernandez and Denny Bautista.
    Major league managerial
    experience may also be some-
    thing the Royals look for, which
    would be an advantage for for-
    mer Phillies boss Larry Bowa.
    Bowa was 337-308 at
    Philadelphia before being fired.
    White is another option, the
    gold glove second baseman who
    is now managing the Royals
    Double-A team in Wichita.
    The Royals have the overall
    No. 2 pick in the baseball draft
    next month.

    I finished five seconds later
    and felt sick after the punch. But
    I didnt puke. The final contest-
    ant, Pat Barger, wasnt so lucky.
    A minute after Jordan punched
    him, he spewed on the lawn.
    Part Three: Smoke three ciga-
    rettes at once. The first one to
    finish the cigarettes wins.
    This was the hardest for me,
    partly because I dont smoke
    and partly because it was three
    cigarettes at once. I dont know
    how sickening that sounds, but
    to do this moments after drink-
    ing a quart of milk and getting
    punched in the stomach I
    wasnt exactly in flavor country.
    But in the name of sport, you
    have to put your body on the line
    sometimes. Four of us competed,
    and others stood around making
    sure we were inhaling the triple-
    thick smoke. Halfway through I
    felt numb, wheezy and lighthead-
    ed. I vowed never to smoke again.
    Pat won this one, smoking
    the cigarettes down to the butts
    in just under three minutes. He
    indulged in a victory puke as
    Jordan doubled over and spit on
    the lawn.
    This is what college is all
    about, Rob said, laughing.
    I sat down on a cooler with
    my head spinning, my stomach
    bloated and my tongue still tin-
    gling from the jalapeo. The
    challenge was complete. We
    were all declared winners, and
    as I sat there clutching my stom-
    ach, one thing ran through my
    head: Milk was a bad choice.

    top finisher from either the
    Central or South region at
    regionals automatically allows a
    team to go on to the champi-
    onships. In order to get a bid,
    the entire season is looked at,
    but a lot of the qualifications
    result from Regionals.
    Weve never been to the
    championships, but weve been
    working harder than ever this
    season, senior rower Kristy
    Hainer said. Each year we
    seem to get closer. Its always in
    our minds, so hopefully we can
    do well this weekend.
    The teams practices have been
    going well as the team prepares,
    Kemp and Hennessey said.
    Weve been working on our
    speed work and trying to get
    our stroke rate up, Hennessey
    said. And weve been doing a
    lot of practicing at race speed.
    Practices were actually moved
    to the morning two weeks ago in
    order to accommodate the ath-
    letes studies in the afternoon.
    Rob is still supportive
    through all this, Reed said of
    coach Rob Catloth. Like he
    says, we should just go out
    there and row like weve got a
    chip on our shoulder.
    Performing at their best is
    definitely something the coach-
    es are looking for.
    Its the race of the year,
    Myers said. This is where they
    try and peak to find out how
    much speed they have.
    Their speed and capability
    will be especially tested against
    eight top-ranked teams Kansas
    will encounter this weekend.
    Theres a certain feeling we
    all get when we know were
    doing well out there racing on
    the water, Chapman said. I
    hope to get that feeling this
    weekend.

    the fourth spot of the Big 12
    and are almost guaranteed to
    appear in the Big 12
    Tournament. This means little,
    however, when a rivalry of this
    stature is involved.
    In my 11 years at the
    Division-I level, thats the
    toughest place Ive ever
    played, coach Ritch Price
    said of Taylor Stadium in
    Columbia. That Missouri-
    Kansas thing is really nasty,
    especially in a baseball game
    with all of the things that can
    be said during the course of
    three hours.
    The Jayhawks enter the
    series after an impressive
    effort in their last Big 12
    action, which resulted in a 2-1
    series victory over No. 5
    Texas.
    The Tigers enter their last
    home series on a losing skid,
    dropping five of their last
    seven. Before last nights set-
    back against Southwest
    Missouri State, Kansas had
    won six of its previous seven
    games.
    Last weekend, Missouri lost
    two of three in its series to
    Nebraska. After winning game
    one, the Tigers led in both the
    second and third games of the
    series, but an error-plagued
    effort gave Nebraska the oppor-
    tunity to win.
    Kansas, however, was
    charged with just four errors for
    the entire Texas series, turning
    its erroneous ways of earlier in
    the season around.
    Starting pitching can also
    be added to the Jayhawks
    major improvement list.
    Sophomore left-hander Sean
    Land (5-4) is the probable
    starter in tomorrow nights
    series opener. In his five-
    inning start against Texas last
    weekend, Land allowed only
    one run on three hits and
    striking out nine.
    Weve got two series left.
    Weve just got to keep doing
    what were doing, junior closer
    Don Czyz said. Were playing
    good baseball right now in all
    phases. It all starts with starting
    pitching. I think that is going to
    be the key for us.
    Closing pitching has played a
    role also, as Czyz picked up
    three saves last week, along
    with a Big 12 Pitcher of the
    Week honor.
    Sophomore right-hander
    Max Scherzer (7-2) will likely
    have a shot at the Jayhawks this
    weekend after he threw a com-
    plete game last weekend in the
    Tigers only victory against
    Nebraska. Scherzer leads the
    Big 12 with a 1.32 ERA and
    leads his team with 107 strike-
    outs.
    At the plate, Missouri was
    led by junior first baseman
    Derek Chambers last week-
    end. Chambers went 5-13 and
    drove in three against the
    Huskers.
    Junior infielder Zane Taylor
    hit .400 against Nebraska and is
    hitting .319 overall.
    Junior first basemen Jared
    Schweitzer remains the top
    Jayhawk power hitter, as he
    extended his hit streak to 24
    games last night against the
    Bears. He hit a home run in
    two Kansas games last week-
    end.
    Kansas knows now to take
    one step at a time. After the big
    weekend against Texas, the
    Jayhawks must continue to win
    in order to see any postseason
    play.
    Weve got tough kids in our
    dugout and good starting pitch-
    ing, Price said. If we continue
    to win series, we will control
    our own destiny.
    Game one of the Border
    Showdown begins tomorrow
    night at 6:30.

    Todays Birthday
    This year is all about updating skills
    and gaining experience. You'll have
    the patience to study and practice, so
    take on a difficult task.
    Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is a 6.
    Youll be pulled up sharp if you try to get
    too wild and rambunctious now. This is
    where those manners you've been learn-
    ing about are of the utmost importance.
    Taurus (April 20-May 20) Today is a 7.
    New information seems to contradict
    an old assumption. Dont you just hate
    it when this happens? Be a good sport,
    especially if youre proven right again.
    Gemini (May 21-June 21) Today is a 6.
    Recent successes bring benefits
    greater than expected. No need to
    broadcast your winnings to everyone
    yet. Mums the word.
    Cancer (June 22-July 22)Today is an 8.
    Youre getting more confident, but this
    could cause a problem unanticipated.
    The person whos been bossing you
    around isnt completely delighted.
    Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is a 5. Its
    not a good day to travel, or to launch a
    new project. Finish up old business
    first, to lessen complications.
    Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Today is an 8.
    You do have the time to step out with
    friends, although there are some
    restrictions. Your tendency will be to
    spend outrageously, and that's not a
    good idea.
    Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Today is a 7. A
    stern taskmaster crimps your style. No
    flirting on the job, unless it leads to
    favors instead of jealousies. Its a thin
    line you're walking.
    Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Today is an
    8. A good partner is a fabulous help in
    making a major advance. Have him or
    her do the preparations; youre too
    busy with other things.
    Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Today is a
    6. Review your resources, avoiding the
    temptation to spend on toys. Youll see
    why when you get into the projected
    costs that are coming up.
    Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today is an
    8. Tempers are rather short now, so
    watch out. In a controversial situation,
    listen carefully to one who's shouting.
    Just get it.
    Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Today is a 7.
    Theres a little more work than you
    expected. The trouble is likely to be
    that youve run into something you
    dont quite know how to do. Think of it
    as a challenge.
    Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Today is an
    8. Discuss the next purchase you're
    contemplating. Your family may have
    different opinions about priorities.
    Compromise.
