ROTC air Force student Nick Mallare, Leawood sophomore, left, talks with Kansas Mutual Aid member Dave Strano, right, about the choices involved with military recruitment as Sara Camiscioni, West Palm Beach, Fla., sophomore, looks for students to sign a petition to remove military recruiters from campus. The Lawrence Counter-Recruitment group held a rally yesterday afternoon in front of Wescoe Hall. About 30 mintues after the rally began, Lawrence Counter-Recruitment members estimated more than 100 signatures had been collected.
A Lawrence-based group took over Wescoe Beach yesterday to protest against military recruitment on campus. With police in attendance for security, Lawrence CounterRecruitment members held up signs reading We will not fight your wars and Military recruiters off campus. Members young and old gave speeches broadcasting their intent to end military recruitment on campus
and calling for an end to the wars overseas as a petition circulated through the crowd, According to the petition, University of Kansas students and faculty and Lawrence residents, feel the militarys presence on campus takes away from the learning experience and allows the war to continue. The petition also says the militarys policy of Dont ask, dont tell discriminates based on sexual orientation and goes against the Universitys discrimination policy. Katy Andrus, Lenexa sopho-
more and LRC member, said military recruiters demonstrate a military presence on campus. Erica Goddard, Lawrence sophomore, said she felt her rights as a homosexual were being violated. Even if they change their Dont ask, dont tell policy to allow queer students to fight for them, its not going to change my opinion, she said. I want them off my campus. One student didnt agree with the groups arguments. I think their logic is flawed simply because this is a Univer-
sity funded mainly by the government, said Sean Collins, Garden City senior. Collins said he believed the military recruiters represented the government and had a right to be on campus. For Army officer Donald Hughes, the protest provided an opportunity to see other opinions concerning military issues. He said he didnt agree with the group, but he said he understood that the demonstration was just a credit to his duty. I totally respect their opinions. Thats what I fight for: So that people can have the opportunity to voice their opinions and speak about what they are against, Hughes said. Hughes is stationed at Fort

The truth has been told about the apparent credit card scam that began in Lawrence on August 18. The two apparent scammers were working through Elite Marketing Group, which was hired by Commerce Bank, N.E. The two employees were fired for failing to comply with regulations set by the bank company, bank sources said Thursday. Kyle Ossiander, manager at Cicis Pizza in Lawrence, said that everything the two employees gave to him appeared credible. All the proper documentation was there for us to see, Ossiander said. The individuals were known to have been in Lawrence and Emporia. Mark Heider, president of Commerce Bank in Lawrence, said the individuals were no longer connected with Commerce Bank and that the bank itself would never be associated with scamming. We would never do this to KU students, Heider said. Both Jeanne Howard, regional director of marketing for Commerce, and Carl Bradbury, director of student services for Commerce, said they had been concerned about a possible identity theft scare, but were not worried anymore. This is no longer an identity theft scare were no longer concerned about that, Howard said. Elite Marketing Group could not be reached for comment. Neither Howard nor Bradbury could say what would become of the applications that were filled out, although Howard indicated she believed they would be processed routinely.

When Dr. Henry Buck decided to retire after working since 1987 as the only gynecologist at Watkins Student Health Center, Dr. Carolyn Johnson said he called her and asked whether she was interested in taking over his duties. For a long time I had said when he retired, I would be interested, because I thought it would allow me to spend more time with my children, she said. When Buck retired, Watkins put out notices in various professional magazines for the open position of gynecology. Also, local gynecologists whom the staff had known professionally were notified. Johnson worked in private practice at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, 325 Maine St., for the last 13 years, she said. Todays weather

A state-of-the-art geothermal system keeps residents comfortable because it allows residents to control their own room with individual thermostats. This system doesnt require a big, noisy box that sits next to the house. Instead, it uses energy from the earth to transfer cool or hot air into the building. Eighteen wells, buried 400 feet beneath the ground, sit on the south side of the residence pumping air into the building. The pipes transfer the energy from the ground.

The department of design will kick off its 22nd annual Hallmark Design Symposium Series on Monday at 6 p.m. at the Spencer Museum of Art. The series brings professional designers from throughout the country to give presentations on the realities of working as a designer. Greg Thomas, chairman of the department of art and design, said because the University of Kansas was in a landlocked state, designers had to be brought to campus. These people may be accessible in New York or Los Angeles, but obviously we are in the middle of the country and dont have direct contact with them all the time, Dick Varney, associate professor of design, said. Lots of people in the design field know who we are because of the symposium series. The first speaker in the series will be Patricia Belyea. She is the founder and strategic designer of Belyea, a Seattle-based graphic design firm specializing in branding, marketing and development.
in more diverse speakers was a good choice. We opened the symposium to other disciplines so that students could receive a more well-rounded education regarding career possibilities and find inspiration from unexpected places, said Andrea Witczak, lecturer in design. Thomas said it was important for students to keep up to date on changes and trends in design. As designers, we have to be aware of other disciplines. Nowadays, its very possible a graphic designer could be doing dinnerware for a company and they would need to learn how to deal with ceramics, Thomas said. The presentations will range said evacuation may be necessary. The water is so powerful theres absolutely nothing we can do, Gough said.

A playground between the Walnut River and the apartment complex was submerged. About 20 homes along the west branch of the river and
from 60 to 90 minutes in length. Visuals in the form of slides, video or other digital media will support and enhance the presentations. Typically, presenters also provide opportunities for audience questions following their remarks. I would say the symposium is beneficial because you get to relate to how designers and contemporary artists function today in the real world, said Kyle Gray, Salina senior and graphics design major. Notable speakers in the design field from past symposiums include Lou Danziger, Paula Scher, Alan Colbert and Milton Glaser. Edited by Patrick Ross a senior housing complex with about 22 people were also evacuated, Collins said. Two shelters were opened to accommodate the displaced. The storms caused some temporary power outages and road closures across the city. Schools were closed early. Collins said 10 to 15 vehicles were submerged in water in the lower-elevation west end of El Dorado.

TOPEKA Former House Speaker Robin Jennison says hes getting into the governors race because he doesnt like the way Gov. Kathleen Sebelius is doing things, especially when it comes to school finance. But before he can take on the Democratic governor in the general election next November, he first must win the Republican primary in August, where his biggest challenger is Doug Mays of Topeka, the current House speaker. Ive been watching what has been going on and just got frustrated, Jennison said Thursday. I was troubled by her position on (school finance), and I guess that is probably the straw that broke the camels back. The 51-year-old rancher from Healy criticized Sebelius for allowing a school finance bill to become law without signing it during the Legislatures regular session. School finance is too important to walk away from, Jennison said. She just sent it over to the Supreme Court and begged them to weigh in on the appropriations process and I think that is dangerous. The states highest court ruled in June that the $142 million increase for education failed to meet its mandate for adequate funding. That forced a special session during which legislators came up with an extra $148 million for schools, but complained about the court overstepping its authority by ordering lawmakers to spend more money. I dont think its a matter if you think its spending too much money or whether you dont spend enough, you dont want the Supreme Court involved. It should be up to the Legislature, said Jennison, adding he hasnt decided on a running mate. Sebelius spokeswoman Nicole Corcoran said, Gov. Sebelius is focused on the job Kansans elected her to do.

Moving violations and parking tickets are inevitabilities of driving, and most people plead guilty and pay the fines. Not Zamir Bavel. He claims he was not speeding and has been attempting to prove it. People should know, especially students, that fighting is not a lost cause, said Bavel, professor of computer science at the University of Kansas. Bavel has been working pro se, or without attorney, in district court to prove his innocence by demonstrating that an officer of the Lawrence Police Department did not receive adequate training to use a radar gun, he said. In municipal court, he was found guilty of speeding near the intersection of W. 19th Street and Ousdahl Road, in March 2004. If he wins in district court in late September he will avoid a $45 fine, and gain vindication. So far he has spent nearly $1000 defending himself, and said he was hoping to create a landmark case law. He spent the bulk of the $1000 on a polygraph test, which turned out to be inadmissible in Kansas court, he said. It should not cost anything, especially with my help and advice, which anyone can get for free, Bavel said. For his efforts, Bavel has received local and national attention, including interviews with media organizations and numerous phone calls and e-mails. I cant cross the street without people encouraging me, he said. Everybody likes the idea of fighting for the good man and improving the Lawrence Police Department. Traffic tickets given in Lawrence have increased during the past two years, but trials contesting these tickets have not. Tickets, not trials On Oct. 1, 2002, Lawrence created
a traffic unit with a $2.2 million federal grant, said Sgt. Dan Ward of the Lawrence Police Department. The unit included seven vehicles, six officers and one sergeant. Traffic tickets given by the Lawrence police department decreased from 20,579 in 1999 to 15,624 in 2001. But since 2002 tickets increased from 16,677 to 24,008 in 2004. These days, Lawrence police continue to issue more traffic citations, said city prosecutor Jerry Little. But the number of trials have not increased, he said. If people do choose to fight their tickets, many represent themselves, Little said. That officers dont often appear in court is a misconception, he said. Officers show up 99 percent of the time, Little said. If they dont show, theyre at risk of losing their jobs. The more common scenario is that a prosecutor would lessen the charge from a moving violation to a parking violation, he said. This prevents an insurance company from raising rates. Fines increase with each citation, he said. Speeding tickets are difficult to defeat, Little said. One has to prove that the radar gun was wrong or that an officer did not receive sufficient training, he said. The trial Operating a radar gun is a complicated task, Bavel said. Before police operate radar guns,
they should receive 24 hours of classroom instruction and 16 hours of field supervision, according to a training manual written by the National Highway Traffic Safety Authority, he said. The Lawrence Police Department has no set training requirement, Little said. Were not required to follow their recommendations, Little said. Theres no law that says we have to follow them. When Bavel cross-examined the officer who gave him the ticket, the officer said he had no classroom instruction and little field supervision, he said. The officer had been issuing traffic citations for nine years, Bavel said. The officer had been trained and certified at his old job and at a law enforcement academy he attended, Little said. The judge has to decide whether he has training and field experience, Little said. Errors in measurement of a vehicles velocity can occur when an untrained officer operates a radar gun, Bavel said. For instance, a radar guns reliability decreases significantly when an officer fires it at a car from an angle approaching 90 degrees. Even power lines and power stations could skew results, he said. Ward said he could not comment on how radar guns function because of Bavels ongoing trial. Though Bavel said he had acquired some knowledge of radar gun operation, his lack of legal expertise showed. I know the judge must be irritated by my mistakes in the courtroom. He has bent over backwards to allow for the fact that I do not have legal experience, he said. The judge has also accommodated needs related to Bavels hearing loss, he said. He allowed me to come close, as long as I didnt intimidate the witness, he said. Edited by Kellis Robinett

Its nothing to do with the soldiers. While LCR has its opinion, it hopes its actions bring opinions from both sides of the spectrum when it has other functions. Andrus said she just wanted people to begin talking about the issue. Just engaging each other, which is really important, or coming to the events whether they agree or not, just so we know how other people feel and what their active opinions are, she said. The group plans to have discussion sessions and more rallies and to keep in contact with University officials until its goal is met, Goddard said.

Another advantage of working at Watkins, she said, was that she received a lower volume of patients, allowing her to spend more time with each one. I think it lets them get a little more comfortable with me, she said. They are more able to ask questions. Veronica Cooper, Lawrence junior, said she thought that having a woman gynecologist would make visiting one easier. Its scary going to one anyway, and a woman would make it more comfortable, she said. At LMH, Johnson not only practiced gynecology but also obstetrics, or delivering infants.

cool air to the rooms. It then takes the left-over energy back to the ground. The geothermal system is the only heating and cooling system that takes from the earth only what is needed, said Alan Lankford, engineer of Lankford and Associates, the firm that designed the system. It borrows stored up energy in the earth and gives it back when the season changes. When making the decision to install the geothermal system, the University looked at hospitals and schools in Kansas City, Mo., and Wichita that used the new system. We were convinced that we wanted to try it after looking at the other units and that the long term costs will be lower so it will be worth the investment, said Ken Stoner, director of student housing. While the University is optimistic that the unit will pay for itself in about seven years, the units installation is much more costly than other systems. The cost differential between a standard heating and cooling system and the unit used at Rieger Hall is between $70,000 and $90,000, Stoner said. The decision to install the system was not solely driven by its efficiency but also by the noise reduction it provides. The system makes no noise, compared to the system at GSP-Corbin Hall, which causes noise pollution. Candice Davis, member of the Oread Neighborhood Association, said this system was much better compared to the system at GSP that she has complained about for years. She appreciates the effort by the University to get input from the neighborhood. In order to blend in with
in with the neighborhood we wanted to be able to put in a system that was not only environmentally friendly and energy efficient, but also aesthetically pleasing to the neighbors.

Engineer the neighborhood we wanted to be able to put in a system that was not only environmentally friendly and energy efficient, but also aesthetically pleasing to the neighbors, Lankford said. Those in the Oread neighborhood feel the University made the right decision by installing the geothermal unit. I just think it benefits the University, as well as the community and neighborhoods, to figure out ways to work together, Davis said. With only 70 to 80 systems in use in the Lawrence and Kansas City area and with rising energy costs, Lankford said more geothermal units will be used in the future. This system may be part of future projects planned for the University, Stoner said. That includes plans for another scholarship hall for men located north of Rieger Hall. This technology is coming. I think this is one of the technologies we will see more and more use of in the future, he said. Edited by Patrick Ross

Sand is blown off the beach at Fort Lauderdale, Fla., as Hurricane Katrina comes ashore. Hurricane Katrina dumped sheets of rain, kicked up the surf and blew strong winds ashore Thursday, toppling trees and driving sand across waterfront streets as it made landfall on the states densely populated southeast coast. Two were killed when they ignored a directive to stay inside until the storm passed.
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. Hurricane Katrina churned through Floridas densely populated southeastern coast Thursday with sustained winds of 80 mph and lashing rain. Two people were killed by falling trees. The storm strengthened into a Category 1 hurricane just before it made landfall along the Miami-Dade and Broward county line between Hallandale Beach and North Miami Beach. Weather officials said flooding was the main concern as the storm dropped a foot of rain or more in some spots. Rain fell in horizontal sheetsseas were estimated at 15 feetand blew gusts of up to 92 mph, toppling trees and street signs. Florida Power & Light said more than 412,000 customers were without electricity. Late Thursday, Katrina was centered in northwest MiamiDade County, heading west at 6 mph. An estimated 5.9 million Florida residents were in Katrinas projected path. The storm proved fatal for two people who ignored warnings to stay inside until the worst was over. A man in his 20s in Fort Lauderdale was crushed by a falling tree as he sat alone in his car, while a pedestrian was killed by a falling tree in the Fort Lauderdale sub-
urb of Plantation. The message needs to be very clear. Its not a good night to be out driving around, said May Mayfield, National Hurricane Center director. The back side of the core of the hurricane has yet to come. Its not over yet. The usually bustling streets of Miami Beach, a tourist haven, were largely deserted as the storm pounded the area. The city is hosting celebrities and partygoers in town for the MTV Video Music Awards. MTV called off its pre-awards festivities Thursday and Friday. Its like a ghost town out here, said Mark Darress, concierge at The Astor Hotel in Miami Beach. I see the random, not so smart people, riding scooters every now and then. Tourists and others hoping to get out of town before the storm were stranded as airlines canceled flights at Miami and Fort Lauderdale airports, which both closed Thursday night. Three mobile home parks in Davie sustained considerable damage, according to the Broward Emergency Management Agency. A lot of roofs are off, said Dennis Myers, a spokesman for the agency. When the eye of the hurricane passed over the National Hurricane Center in west Miami-Dade County, forecasters ran outside to experience the calm at the center of the storm. In an oceanfront condominium in Hallandale, Carolyne and
Carter McHyman said heavy downpours once again pelted their windows after the eye passed. Its been horrible, Carolyne McHyman said. Basically all our windows are leaking. We just keep mopping up and taping the windows, mopping up and taping again. Before the hurricane struck, Floridians wary of Katrina prepared by putting up shutters, stacking sandbags in doorways and stocking up on supplies. At a supermarket in Hollywood, Cassandra Butler hefted two five-gallon bottles of water as well as a 24-pack of smaller bottles into her shopping cart Thursday. Its not that Im worried. Ive been in south Florida all my life, Butler said. But this is a feature of life down here, and you are smart to deal with it. At a Home Depot in Miami, Jose Guerrera, 68, loaded 4by-8 sheets of plywood onto a metal cart. He and his family huddled in their Coral Gables home as Hurricane Andrew screamed by in 1993 and he has been boarding up the house during hurricanes ever since. I have to protect the doors and windows, Guerrera said. His wife, meanwhile, was shopping for water and food. Thats her problem. Shes gotta take care of the food. I take care of the work. Water management officials
lowered canal levels to avoid possible flooding, and pumps were activated in several low-lying areas of Miami-Dade. Dozens of surfers and spectators lined beaches from Palm Beach to Miami-Dade counties to take advantage of the massive waves on the normally placid seas, and long lines didnt seem to be a problem at most area gas stations, supermarkets and hardware stores. This is the best of both worlds because itll bring great waves, but it is not at all dangerous, said surfer Kurt Johnston, 22, of Davie. Katrina was the second hurricane to hit the state this year Dennis hit the Panhandle last month and the sixth since Aug. 13, 2004. Katrina formed Wednesday over the Bahamas and was expected to cross Florida before heading into the Gulf of Mexico. After crossing the peninsula, the storm could turn to the north over the Gulf of Mexico and threaten the Panhandle early next week, forecasters said. Bush encouraged residents of Floridas Panhandle and Big Bend areas to monitor the storm. Katrina is the 11th named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season, which began June 1. Thats seven more than have typically formed by now in the Atlantic, Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico, the hurricane center said. The season ends Nov. 30.

The reason people donate their time and hard earned money to not-for-prot organizations like the American Red Cross, is to save lives and to help people endure disastrous situations. It seems that the Red Cross, however, has lost sight of its core objective and become deeply entangled with various social and political issues that in no way relate to the organizations cause or concept. Earlier this month, a man living in California was red from the American Red Cross for choosing not to recognize Gay Pride Month. He and his co-workers were sent out a mass e-mail informing them that the upcoming month was Gay Pride Month. The e-mail asked employees to please observe and embrace this occasion. Offended, he complained to his supervisor, stating that the way of life of the homosexual community was against his religion as a Christian and that he would abstain from participating. His objection, in the form of a brief and formal e-mail, was overtly disregarded by his supervisor. Unsatised with the lack of results or even a courtesy response, he pursued the matter further by e-mailing the national headquarters. He was immediate-
ly put on administrative leave by his superiors, and shortly thereafter red. This man worked at the ARC for eight months before being red and was not involved in any additional incidents. This comes down to a breech of civil rights. How is it ethical for an organization that boldly boasts of its humanitarian mission to take away the job of a man who was simply exercising those civil rights? Shame on the American Red Cross for losing track of what its crucial function is and for veering off the path of dedicating itself to saving the lives of human beings. Falling prey to the ever-changing world of what is socially and politically correct will only cloud the ARC and, in due course, will ultimately control and prevent it from doing as much good as it possibly could. Diversity, as the Red Cross calls it, is mentioned within its main Web site several
times in careful detail and structure. This should not be on the top of this organizations priority list. I personally have no preference for one over the other when it comes to the homosexual community and the Christian community, and the intention of my argument is not the validation of one over the other. It is simply this: in order to help save the lives of people in need, one does not and should not have to embrace or even disclose any information or action concerning ones personal beliefs; especially on something so unconnected as sexual orientation. If this is considered an acceptable reason for ring an individual, where does it end; where do you draw the line? More importantly, why is this supposed, world-renowned organization more concerned with social and political controversy than it is with building an institution that reaches the people in the world who need their help? The bottom line is, it is the help of the American Red Cross that this world needs and not their judgments. Logue is an Overland Park senior in journalism.
The KU Bookstores, University Bookshop, and Jayhawk Bookstores have always had a huge advantage in selling textbooks to students. Its nice to have the bookstores close and the textbooks easy to nd, but its always a hassle when not enough books are ordered, prices are increasing, and certain bookstores refuse to buy back students books. Here are a few ways to get around the overpricing. 1. The Internet is always a good place to start. Amazon. com, Half.com and many other online bookstores can provide students new or used books for much cheaper, even after the shipping and handling fees are factored in. Another way to use the Internet is to search for the full texts online. Many books are posted online in full.
2. Swap books with friends, or form a network to start a Web site that posts what books students have so other students can go directly to the student to purchase for a fair price. This would result in higher buyback prices for the seller and lower bookstore prices. Everybody wins! There are swap meets like this at the Jayhawker Towers and residence halls, but other exchanges could be organized on a higher scale. 3. Share a book with a friend you have in class, or make a friend. Most classes dont meet every day, and it would be easy for both people to read the book within two days time. 4. Students can always research their teachers and classes by asking former students they know. Some teachers dont actually assign every book on the list, so the prices
could be cut down by not buying unused books 5. Check books out at the library. Many books are available at one of the Universitys libraries, or the Lawrence Public Library. Students may also be able to talk their teachers to posting readings on in e-reserves. 6. Shop around. Not all bookstores put the same price tag on the same book. Some bookstores offer promotions like 5 percent off for preordering, some give money for instore use as a reward for selling books back to them. Some local stores like The Raven, The Dusty Bookshelf, Half Price Bookstore or even Borders may have the same books for less. Weltmer writing for the editorial board.

Im sitting here, eating nachos, on my roommates bed, and she said she was going to go buy movies, but she almost said boobies on accident.

I just want to say congratulations Lewis 516 for alcohol bust of the year, and well be looking forward to you for the rest of the year. Hey, I just want to say to all the students out there, keep campus clean, pick up your trash and lets keep it nice for everyone. Hey, maybe then our rating will go up. Yeah, to whoever said Sara Garlick missed the forest for the trees, you missed the sarcasm for the trees.
Hey, I think they should change the name from McCollum residence hall to The Gulag. Yeah, for those of us who dont know where a gulag is, its a series of Russian prison camps.
My dreams of hot wings were dashed. Lets all agree that McCollum, or The Gulag, needs a parking garage. I just have to say that the new Facebook.com layout sucks. Explain this to me, why does my ex-boyfriend want the girls flip-flops he bought me back that Ive been wearing for two months? So if you see a guy on campus with girls flip-flops on, feel free to point and laugh.
Pshaw, Im in the newspaper. Damn to all the freshmen rollin up, blasting their iPods in the library, have some consideration, its a library, dummies!

Dear Matt, thanks for being creepy. Love, the freshman girls. Today, I learned how to use a compact! Sorry, bro, I already bought your bike on eBay, for less than 200 bucks. Youre not getting it back. So I know theres phone sex, and cyber sex, but is there text-messaging sex? Cause the guy right next to me is having it right now.
Just so everyone knows, if you are on the 5th floor of the art and design building, you can smell the Chick-Fil-A, and it smells so good!
Yeah, I was the one who called and said Bauer was hot, how can I go about scoring a date with her? Do we really want the younger brother of an ex-Missouri star? Hell yes! Come on, Brandon! I think the rising cost of textbooks is connected to the rising cost of gas. You do the math. Hey, Citizen Cope at the Bottleneck kicked ass. The four guys in the front sucked ass though.

to, such as personal hygiene products. I spoke to a young man named of Fleurant Akpata while I was in Cotonou, the government seat of Benin. After smelling an unfamiliar odor in the air for a few weeks, I asked him about it. He said it was the African sun, and the lack of deodorant. Fleurant explained many people did not wear deodorant because it was too expensive. Do you want to buy deodorant or feed your family? Which is more important to you? Akpata asked. Dont get me wrong, there are some wealthy people who live in Cotonou, but most are not so fortunate. There is no middle class; you are either rich or poor. This was a powerful experience that everyone should have the opportunity to be a part of. The University sponsors study abroad opportunities year-round to countries throughout the world. There are dozens of opportunities to study in European and Latin American countries, but unfortunately the program falls short when it comes to Africa. After searching the KU Study Abroad Web site, I found that other than the Arabian
countries in Africa, such as Morocco and the westernized South Africa, there are almost no University-sponsored trips to Africa currently active. As an alternative, the study abroad office offers Student Initiated Programs. Said Stacey Satchell, outreach coordinator for the Office of Study Abroad, students participating in SIPs are given some assistance from the University to help them find living accommodations and a sponsor in the country to which they are traveling. Satchell said that they are in serious need of professors with links to countries in Africa, in order to make the program possible. Its a shame there were no real opportunities for students to see different cultures in Africa. All my life I have lived in Washington, D.C., a city with a large metropolitan area and a staggering amount of poverty, yet I have never seen anything quite like Benin. Africa is one of the most beautiful places on earth, but it is a continent that is struggling. Although our country sometimes ignores Africa on a national level, as educated individuals, take the initiative to educate yourselves. I encourage everyone to travel abroad, for leisure or academics, because it will give you a greater appreciation for the life that you are fortunate enough to have.

When Dan Forrest, Ottawa doctoral composition student at the University of Kansas, received a call from a spokesperson for the John Ness Beck award competition, he was shocked by what he heard. The spokesperson told him that he had won the first place award of $5,000 for his choral setting of The King of Love My Shepherd Is. The fact that a doctoral student won the first prize is uncommon, said James Barnes, professor of music and dance and Forrests composition teacher. This award is very prestigious, Barnes said.

One of the judges was his former composition teacher at Bob Jones University in Greenville, S.C., Forrest said. The other was a fellow composer who publishes with the same publishing company as Forrest. The competition had seven judges, each of whom nominated up to five pieces to be considered. The judges then rated the pieces in order from best to worst. Each composition had to have been published in the past year, Barnes said. Forrest received both his
undergraduate and masters degrees from Bob Jones University. He is on leave as a faculty member at Bob Jones University while pursuing his doctorate at the University. This fall, in addition to studying composition, he is teaching a harmony class, Barnes said. Hes a brilliant composer and an excellent musician, Barnes said.

Crimson Tide. We played Alabama in the spring, and I think they will be tough, said Rozum, referring to training the two teams did together in second-semester scrimmages last year. They have a lot of newcomers, but they will be a good test for us. The Crimson Tide is led by coach Judy Green, who is beginning her 10th season in Tuscaloosa. Kansas coach Ray Bechard knows Green and her situation well because they were friends who were hired at their respective schools just months apart. Weve had a lot of conversations about what it takes to get a Division 1 program in a competitive conference to the level of play you want and she is very close to doing that, Bechard said. Friday night will be an extremely difficult opener. UMKC was 7-21 last season, good for sixth place in the Mid-Continent Conference. The Jayhawks dispatched the Kangaroos 3-0 last year in Kansas City. Kansas has dominated the all-time series between the two clubs, winning 22 of 23 matchups. The Kangaroos have plenty of new faces this season, but Bechard said he thought they would provide a good test for his team They are a little bit of an un-

Kansas to open new season They moved the against Alabama, UMKC season up a week

After a long off season of preparation, the time has finally come for the Kansas volleyball team to get back on the court. The KU Volleyball team kicks off its 2005 campaign tonight against Alabama in the first match of the State Farm Jayhawk Classic at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center. On Saturday night, Kansas will entertain UMKC in the final match of the tournament. Both matches are scheduled for 7 p.m. Kansas looks to get off to a quick start, much like it did last year by posting a 9-0 record before the Big 12 season. The team went on to finish 19-12 and tied for sixth in the conference standings. Alabama comes into the season with high expectations as well. The Crimson Tide have been picked to finish third in the SEC West by the leagues coaches. They will put a fairly young team on the court, with only two seniors on the roster. Four players were lost from last years team that went 21-9 and tied for first in their division, including two all-conference performers. Kansas senior setter Andi Rozum said the Jayhawks were excited for the season to commence and to get a shot at the

known, Bechard said. They were competitive against us last year, though, and Im sure theyll be competitive again this year. The Jayhawks hope to build off back-to-back NCAA tournament appearances as they return five starters from last years squad. Kansas is expected to finish in the top half of the Big 12 again, led by three-time all-Big 12 senior middle blocker Josi Lima. Freshman middle blocker Savannah Noyes and junior defensive specialist/libero Jaime Mathewson will fill the starting spots vacated by the departures of Jill Dorsey and Ashley Michaels. Bechard said he felt anxious about the preparedness of his team but that it was nothing beyond the norm. They moved the season up a week this year, and we usually dont feel like were ready anyway, Bechard said, laughing. Its jumped up on us pretty quickly, but were looking forward to it.

After a trial by the Big Ten Conference last season, instant replay will make its Memorial Stadium debut Sept. 3. Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said Kansas will use instant replay in its three non-conference games against Florida Atlantic, Appalachian State and Louisiana Tech. It will also be used in all Big 12 Conference games. The Big 12 instant replay system is similar to the system used by the Big Ten last season. We monitored the Big Ten experiment, Bob Burda, Big 12 assistant commissioner, said. We owe it to our fans, athletes, coaches and member schools to correct the correctable. Burda said that according to NCAA replay guidelines, only plays that involve factual dis-
putes would be eligible for replay. Plays involving judgements by officials, such as penalties, would not be eligible for replay. The Big 12 instant replay system involves the following steps: All reviews will be initiated by the replay official stationed in the press box. The replay official has until the ball has been snapped for the next play to decide if the previous play is reviewable. The game referee will be notified by a page by the replay official that a play is under review. The referee will then make an announcement that a play is being reviewed. The replay official, in coordination with the on-field referee and an alternate official, will determine by a video if there is indisputable evidence to overturn the call made on the field. A decision by the replay official will be relayed to a referee on the field. Conference games that wont
be televised will be produced by Fox Sports Net, using four cameras for replay purposes. Burda said that Tim Millis, Big 12 Supervisor of Officials, had coordinated training between Big 12 officials and officials from the Big Ten and the NFL. Bill Callahan, former NFL coach and current Nebraska coach, said that while he supports the Big 12 system, he would like to see coaches be able to challenge calls made on the field, like in the NFL.
I know I would like to have a red flag in my pocket for a game-changing decision, Callahan said, in reference to the NFL replay system. Burda said that because of the configuration of stadiums in the conference, it may not be possible for officials on the field to view the video replays. He said that such decisions would be made on a case-bycase basis depending upon the school. Edited by Jayme Wiley

The University of Kansas student radio station, KJHK, will return to calling football games this season. But it wont be in the friendly confines of a press box. In a joint decision by the station and Kansas athletic department officials, KJHK will now broadcast from outside. The move was made in re-
sponse to the Big 12 Conference adopting instant replay for the upcoming season. Big 12 rules stipulate that the instant replay officials be stationed in a secured booth, inside the press box. KJHK will move to allow the officials to take over one of the limited number of available media boxes. In previous years, KJHK had called games from a booth on the eighth floor of the press box. This season they will
broadcast from an outdoor platform on the ninth floor. Jimmy Chavez, KJHK sports director and Kansan sports columnist, said that department officials approached the KJHK sports staff about the move in July. Were not going to complain, Chavez said. The football staff has been very willing to work with us. Mason Logan, associate media relations director, said that Chavez and KJHK had been
cooperative and understanding throughout the process. Chavez said that KJHK had more opportunities than other college radio stations to broadcast games. The station will join the football team in Kansas City, Mo., this season to call the Jayhawks first game at Arrowhead Stadium. It actually could be worse, Chavez said. It was never as bad as it was made to seem. Edited by Erin Wisdom

Hot recruit gets KUID number, but maybe not yet enrolled
Brandon Rush, a 6-foot-6 guard from Kansas City, Mo., who visited the University of Kansas on August 16 and is reportedly interested in playing for the Kansas mens basketball team in the fall, now has a KUID number. When contacted about the prospective Jayhawk, an employee in the University Registrars Office confirmed that Rush had a student ID number. Lisa Pinamonti Kress, director of admissions, would not comment on whether Rush was enrolled in any classes, but said student ID numbers werent reserved specifically for KU students. Student ID numbers are given to all prospective students at KU, Pinamonti said. We have sixth graders in our system that have student ID numbers because they are prospective students. Rush has not yet been cleared by the NCAA to receive an athletic scholarship.

Kansas soccer will encounter stiff competition to officially open the season tonight. After a 2-1 exhibition victory against Drake last Saturday, the 23rd ranked Kansas will play host to Michigan and Wisconsin in a Big Ten vs. Big 12 Conference showdown. Todays game has been moved to the Hummer Sports Park in Topeka and rescheduled for 2 p.m. because of excessive rain. Sundays game has also been moved to Topeka and rescheduled for 2 p.m. Kansas coach Mark Francis said that taking the field against Drake was beneficial, but this weekend would present the first real challenge. I dont think Im nervous, but I am apprehensive and ready to go out and play, Francis said. The girls are too.
of the season, Cauzillo said. Its not mandatory to win these games, but to get two wins right away at home will give us something to build on. Kansas is 5-4-1 in season openers. After the Drake match, Smith and freshman forward Sara Rogers are the only Jayhawks with a goal in 2005. Tonight, the Jayhawks take on a Michigan team fresh off its eighth-straight NCAA tournament appearance, after an 11-9-2 campaign last year. The last time the two faced off in October of 2003, Kansas won in Ann Arbor, Mich., by a score of 2-1. Senior forward Caroline Smith knocked in both scores to lead the Jayhawks to victory, but said she was humble before facing off against the Wolverines again. I dont even know if those results shouldve been the way they were, Smith said.
Kansas is projected to finish fourth in the conference this season, according to the 2005 Big 12 Preseason Coaches Poll. Michigan played in two exhibition games and collected victories in both games. On Aug. 16, Michigan defeated fourth ranked Virginia, 2-1, and downed Detroit, 4-1, last Friday. Michigan is currently ranked fourth in its conference, according to the Big Ten Preseason Poll. Michigan coach Debbie Rademacher carries a 5-4-2 opening day record into the game. Caroline Smith said she was well aware of Michigans capabilities on the field. We will definitely be tested, Smith said. Were capable of doing a lot of things, but if were not all on the same page this is going to be tough. Sunday will bring on round two of Big Ten competition,

The 25th ranked Badgers went 16-6-1 last year before making their 13th NCAA tournament appearance. The last time these two teams saw each other was September of 2003, as Wisconsin left with a 3-2 victory. Smith scored both goals in that match as well.

Editors Note: This is the seventh of 11 articles previewing Kansas competition in the Big 12 Conference. The articles will run every day from now until Sept. 1. Monday the Kansan will look at Iowa State. Its year two of the Bill Callahan era at Nebraska and for Cornhusker fans, its time to win. Nebraska endured a tough first season under Callahan with a 5-6 record. This season, Callahan is more confident heading into the season because his team is more familiar with the offense that he brought from the NFLs Oakland Raiders. Even though last years record was not what Callahan wanted, he said his team learned a lot last year, and it would help them this season. The biggest thing that I think we have all taken from our first year at Nebraska as a staff, of course, with the players, is we have learned how to overcome adversity, Callahan said. Its tough to come into any situation transitionally and all of a sudden try to create trust and try to create instant credibility with your players. Callahan isnt the only one who thinks this year is going to be more successful. Seppo Evwaraye, senior offensive tackle, feels more comfortable under the new offense and said he
thinks the offense will be able to score more points and move the ball more efficiently. I remember the first year I was with the playbook terminology, and it looked like Hebrew to me and a bunch of other guys, Evwaraye said. This year it wasnt the same. We remembered a lot of stuff from the season. It will be the same offense this season as last, but a different quarterback will be taking the snaps. Callahan has yet to name a starter for Nebraskas opener against Maine. Junior college transfer Zac Taylor is the favorite to win the job and was named the preseason Big 12 Conference Newcomer of the Year by the media. Taylor played his junior college ball at Butler Community College in Kansas, and has impressed coaches since joining the team. of drunken driving. He twice refused to get out of the car for a field sobriety test, then drove away suddenly, police said. Gooden, who has a history of substance abuse and currently has a domestic violence charge pending in the court, was booked on a felony charge of fleeing police, and misdemeanor charges of DUI and resisting arrest without violence. He was being held without bond Thursday night. McElroy said Gooden is scheduled to appear in court Friday morning for a hearing to revoke his
I will tell you, Zac has an upper hand predicated on the experience. It is going to be competitive, Callahan said. For all those guys, its going to be interesting in terms of their battles. The wild card in the quarterback race is freshman Harrison Beck. Beck was highly recruited coming out of high school last season, and was considered the first big recruit signing of Callahans tenure. The most stable position on offense will be running back. The Cornhuskers return leading rusher Cory Ross, who ran for 1,102 yards last season and scored six touchdowns. His strongest performance of the year came against Missouri, in which he rushed for 194 yards and two touchdowns. On defense, the biggest unit to replace will be the secondary. The Cornhuskers lost two defensive backs to the NFL, Josh Bullocks and Fabian Washingbond on the March domestic violence charge. Were relieved that he has come forward, and this may be the first step toward him getting the help he needs, McElroy said. Police looking for Gooden had talked to his attorney, Peter Hobson, on Wednesday about the possibility of Gooden surrendering, but he did not indicate if or when it was going to happen, McElroy said. Hobson contacted the Hillsborough sheriffs office earlier Thursday and made arrangements for Gooden to surrender, sheriffs spokeswoman

The one returning starter is Bullocks twin brother, Daniel. Daniel Bullocks is on a number of award watch lists heading into the season, and Callahan said he was expecting Bullock to be a leader on the Debbie Carter said. A call to Hobsons Tampa office was not immediately returned. Tampa Bay Devil Rays manager Lou Piniella said Goodens situation is sad. He needs to get his life in order, Piniella said before Thursdays game against Cleveland. Hes a good young man. He just needs to get his priorities straight. Hes got a long life ahead of him and a lot of people that care about him. The only problem is hes got to help himself.

Lance Armstrong suggested Thursday that hes the victim of a setup, saying he doesnt trust the French lab that released test results leading to blood doping allegations against him. Armstrongs comments came after Dick Pound, head of the World Anti-Doping Agency, said ofcials had received the lab results and would review them. Theres a setup here and Im stuck in the middle of it, Armstrong told The Associated Press. I absolutely do not trust that laboratory. The French sports daily LEquipe reported Tuesday that six urine samples Armstrong
provided during his rst tour win in 1999 tested positive for the red blood cell-booster EPO. If he had one, you could say it was an aberration, Pound said. When you get up to six, theres got to be some explanation. Armstrong, who retired after his seventh straight tour win in July, has angrily denied the LEquipe report. He also said that while Pound might trust the lab that tested the samples, I certainly dont. Pound said the lab had asked WADA months ago if the agency was interested in reviewing its ndings and that he agreed. He said the agency didnt expect names to be connected to the ndings, but only wanted to see
if the leftover samples from 1999 would show riders used EPO. They said its simply research, Pound said. Pound said he is waiting for WADA Science Director Olivier Rabin to return from Europe to review the results. The lab report doesnt name Armstrong, but shows the results of tests on anonymous urine samples. While the French newspaper said it was able to match Armstrong to the positive samples, Pound said the lab and WADA ofcials cannot do that. The French report appears stronger than previous doping allegations raised against Armstrong, Pound said. Theres been an awful lot of rumor and accusation about him
for a number of years, always of the he-said, she-said variety. This appears I havent seen the documents myself to have some documentary connection. Thats a lot more serious. Its got to be taken more seriously, Pound said. Armstrong and Pound have clashed before on the chairmans comments about athletes who use drugs. Pound said he was unsure whether WADA would have jurisdiction to take any action against Armstrong if the allegations could be proven. WADA didnt exist until months after the samples were collected in July 1999. Pound said he was waiting to see if the International Cycling
Union would act on the French report. Armstrong questions the validity of testing samples frozen six years ago, how those samples were handled since, and how he could be expected to defend himself when the only conrming evidence the A sample used for the 1999 tests no longer exists. He also charged ofcials at the suburban Paris lab with violating WADA code for failing to safeguard the anonymity of any remaining B samples it had. Pound said the lab was accredited by the International Olympic Committee and that he trusted it handled the samples properly. Its one of the top two or three EPO labs in the world, he said.
Its a very competent laboratory. Pound also questioned the need for two samples to conrm a positive test. You can count on the ngers of one hand the times a B sample has not conrmed the result of the A sample, Pound said. Its almost always a delaying tactic. Armstrong said that contradicts WADAs own drug testing policy. For the head of the agency to say he actually doesnt believe in the code .... if your career is riding on the line, wouldnt you want a B sample?, Armstrong said. The French have been after (me) forever, and whoops! theres no B sample? The stakes are too high.

If there was one position that helped the Kansas defense improve as drastically as it did last season, it was the linebacker. Led by three seniors, the linebacker corps is looking to pick up where it left off last season and build on the 27 takeaways that led the conference. Now we have to stand up to the hype, senior linebacker Nick Reid said. We have to go out and prove to everyone that we are good and that we can shut people down when we need to. The linebackers not only hope to improve on last seasons stellar year, but become one of the nations best defenses. Our goal is to go out there every game and pitch a shutout, Reid said. We want to be the best, not just in the Big 12, but in the nation. Reid is the most talked-about of the group; he was named to Justin ONeal/KANSAN the first All-Big 12 team last year Senior linebackers Nick Reid, Kevin Kane and Banks Floodman show off their leaping ability at media day.

PITTSBURGH Jim Edmonds and Albert Pujols homered in the first inning to get St. Louis off to its customary fast start in Pittsburgh, and Tony La Russa passed Sparky Anderson to move into third place on the manager wins list in the Cardinals 6-3 victory on Thursday night. The Pirates have lost 10 of 13 to the Cardinals, helping accelerate La Russas move up the career victories ladder during a season in which he has passed some of baseballs all-time best: Anderson, Bucky Harris and Joe McCarthy. La Russas victory No. 2,195 he trails only Connie Mack (3,731) and John McGraw (2,763) was Matt Morris 101st in the majors, and it came in the home away from home for both the Cardinals and the right-hander. The Cardinals 30 victories at 5year-old PNC Park are the most of any opponent. St. Louis has won 17 of its last 20 in Pittsburgh, including three of four in this justconcluded series. Morris (14-5) has more wins in Pittsburgh than some of the Pirates own pitchers, going 6-0 in seven starts there and 2-0 this season. He lasted seven innings despite allowing two runs and nine hits, stranding five runners from the fifth through the seventh innings and seven overall. Pujols and Edmonds clearly like playing in Pittsburgh, too. Pujols 35th homer of the season followed four pitches after Edmonds 22nd to put the Cardinals up 2-0 against Dave Williams (1010). Pujols homer was his 16th at PNC an average of more than three per season and by far by most of any opposing player, while Edmonds was his ninth there. Pujols, who went 3-for-4 and reached base four times, has 25 homers in 295 career at-bats
against Pittsburgh. The Pirates, losing their fifth in six games, got a run back in the first on rookie Chris Duffys triple and Freddy Sanchezs groundout. But Pujols singled in the fifth for his third hit, all off Williams, and scored on John Rodriguezs two-out single. Yadier Molina, who had doubled one batter before, was thrown out at the plate on the play by center fielder Duffy. Molina isnt ready to say goodbye yet to the Pirates, either, going 21-of-50 (.420) against them with three homers and 14 RBIs in 13 games. He followed Edmonds RBI double off Williams in the seventh with a run-scoring single, making it 5-2, and So Taguchi had a run-scoring single in the ninth. Edmonds also played a pivotal role with his glove. The Pirates had threatened by loading the bases in the fifth against Morris, but Edmonds ran down Jason Bays drive to deep center. An inning later, Ty Wigginton singled in a run with his third hit, but Edmonds prevented any further scoring with a sliding catch of Jack Wilsons line drive into the right-center gap with two outs and a runner on. Pittsburgh made it 5-3 in the eighth on Wilsons RBI single off Julian Tavarez, the second of three Cardinals pitchers in the inning, but closer Jason Isringhausen struck out rookie Nate McLouth looking with runners on first and third. Isringhausen finished up in the ninth for his 34th save in 37 opportunities. Notes Morris has a 2.65 career ERA in Pittsburgh. ... Pujols started the series 0-for7, but is hitting .353 (18-of-51) against Pittsburgh this season. ... Morris had been 2-3 with a 5.53 ERA since the All-Star break. ... St. Louis is 40-22 on the road, a better record than all but two NL teams (Atlanta and Houston) have at home.
