Students may take more than a years collection of books, clothes and papers when they leave Lawrence next week. They could take the mumps virus home with them. Patricia Denning, Watkins Memorial Health Center chief of staff, said the mumps could spread from its Douglas County center. She expected the number of cases to somewhat subside in the Lawrence area, but grow in the surrounding communi-
ties where students might stay for the summer. The incubation period for mumps averages between 16 and 18 days, but can last from 12 to 25 days. That means symptoms might not appear for more than three weeks after initial exposure. Nancy Tausz, division director of disease containment for the Johnson County Health Department, said the department was aware of the outbreak in Douglas County and would contin-
the infected person and other people in the house. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that people who will be traveling to mumps-infected areas, such as Lawrence for graduation, should be fully vaccinated to be best protected against the disease. Infected people should limit travel, namely on airplanes, but take precautions such as covering coughs and sneezes, washing their hands and avoiding close contact with others if they do travel.

ing and a part of Lawrences transient college-aged population moving for the summer break, as many as 75 animals could be abandoned at the shelter, said Midge Grinstead, executive director of the Lawrence Humane Society. Its depressing to see college students dump animals like televisions and desks at the end of the year, like animals are nothing more than a piece of paper, she said. To prepare for the spring rush, the shelter staff has been cleaning and repairing the facilities. Theyve also managed to open additional space at the shelter by releasing numerous small kittens and puppies to temporary foster care at private homes.

Lawrence Humane Society struggles to house abandoned pets

Peanut nestled between the legs of Casey Grady and covered her eyes with puppy-sized paws, trying to get comfortable under the warm afternoon sun as the Wichita sophomore rubbed the puppys spotted stomach. Peanut, a pointer terrier mix, began wiggling, trying to escape from Gradys lap. Fifteen minutes later, Grady apologetically fastened the blue leash around the brown and black puppys neck for the journey back to the puppys cage inside the Lawrence Humane Society. Grady is one of 100 student volunteers at the Lawrence Humane Society, which housed more than 7,000 animals last year. The shelter, considered the go-to shelter in the state of Kansas, may soon be even more crowded. With the KU school year end

Dominos Pizza congratulated the winners of Battle of the Dorms Wednesday at Jayhawker Towers. The Battle was a pizza ordering competition between students at University of
Kansas residence halls, Perry Allen, Elwood junior; John Harkness, Edinburgh, Scotland junior; Tony Solesky, Raleigh, N.C., sophomore; and Adam Williamson, Wichita Falls, Tex., junior received an oversized check for $1,500 with all four of their names on it. The four roommates had more
than 60 orders, about four per week, delivered to their apartment at the towers during the competition, which ran from January 30 through May 7. Williamson said he was the big spender of the group, but admitted he didnt know much about the competition. I feel bad, he said. I hope
I didnt ruin it for someone that was trying to win. Casey Myers, general manager at the Lawrence Dominos, 832 Iowa St., said that some students got excited with the competition and even called in to ask about standings.

he four roommates had more than 60 orders, about four per week, delivered to their apartment at the towers during the competition.
Those wanting to learn about and practice Judaism have another option at the University of Kansas. Two weeks ago, Rabbi Zalman Tiechtel, his wife Nechama, and his infant daughter Mina, opened a Chabad Jewish Center in their new home at 1201 W. 19th St. Chabad offers an opportunity for Jewish students to experience what its like in an Orthodox Jewish home a home that practices all 613 laws of Judaism. We like to call ourselves the Google for anything Jewish, he said. Chabad is one of the largest Jewish outreach organizations in the world. One of its original goals was to rebuild Judaism after the Holocaust. The KU Chabad Center is one of many, including 151 on university campuses and one in each state except Montana. Wherever theres Coca-Cola, theres Chabad, Tiechtel joked. Chabad offers classes about Jewish law, customs and holidays. It also offers trips, weekend retreats, kosher barbecues, Shabbat dinners and other social events. Though Tiechtel practices Orthodox Judaism, he said the goal of the center is to reach each of the 1,800 Jewish students on campus, no matter their level of practice. He said he didnt believe that anyone was more or less of a Jew depending on how many rules they followed or what type of services they attended. He said he wanted to help students proudly identify themselves as Jewish and to learn it, live it and love it. The center will work in conjunction with KU Hillel on many of its programs next fall, Tiechtel said.

mandy, a month after D-Day. It was in that location that the 77th Unit saw the worst the war had seen at that point. In its first 12 hours, the 77th Unit took in over 1,200 casualties and averaged 44 patients an hour for six days. Five months later, the 77th Unit was moved to Verviers, Belgium, for the Battle of the Bulge. In 1944, the 77th Unit saw an estimated 35,000 patients and almost 21,000 were casualties from its stop in Verviers that lasted five weeks. Of the 25, 408 patients that they had seen, only 94 died at a later date. Amazingly, no one in the 77th Unit died while serving.

May 10, 1921 McCook Field, the football stadium prior to Memorial is torn down by 4,000 members of the student and faculty bodies. The destruction took the group a mere hour and 18 minutes, which they followed with a free barbecue from the University of Kansas. The field, which had seen 30 years of sub-par play and a 27-4 victory in its 1892 opener against Illinois, was built after a $2,500 donation from Col. John James McCook. The original stadium held 800 fans and by 1911 it held its maximum of 10,000. And, as the program grew and the stadium began to crumble, the school decided it would build a memorial for the 130 KU students who had died in World War I. On October 29, 1921, Memorial Stadium was officially christened, although it was only partially built in a game against Kansas State.

the call of a lifetime from the U.S. government when it was asked to assist in World War II. Maj. Gen. James C. Magee, former Surgeon General of the Army, wrote the dean of the School of Medicine, Harry R. Wahl, because in Magees words, Kansas had one the countrys outstanding civil medical institutions. Wahl, served as a Major in the Armys Medical Corps in World War I and was able to offer his guidance to those who would be making the trip. Wahl later selected Dr. Edward Hashinger, also a World War I veteran, as the unit director. In 1940 and 1941, the group was preparing for upcoming events and were called into duty early December in 1941 after Japans attack on Pearl Harbor. The 77th Unit was sent to Missouris Fort Leonard Wood for basic training.
By May, 1942, the 77th Unit was asked to return to Fort Leonard Wood and left New York City for Liverpool, England, July 31, and arrived by Aug. 17 after dodging German U-boats scattered throughout the Atlantic Ocean. For the next 10 weeks, the 77th Unit prepared for the hard times it would see by working at a childrens hospital that had converted to house American GIs in England who had been sick or injured. After a year of activity, the 77th Unit felt like it wasnt contributing enough to the American war effort. After remaining stationed in the same location instead of moving with the troops, it was finally ordered to move near the Algerian-Tunisian borders. For the next year and a half, the 77th Unit bounced from war front to war front, eventually landing it at the beach at Nor-

iranian president addresses concerns

JAKARTA, Indonesia Irans president on Wednesday dismissed Western concerns over its nuclear program as a big lie, a day after key U.N. Security Council members agreed to present Tehran with a choice of incentives or sanctions in deciding whether to suspend uranium enrichment. Meanwhile, in a letter to Time magazine published on its Web site, a representative of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei offered new options for solving the impass.

Worship has increased since Sept. 11, 2001

HARTFORD, Conn. Interfaith worship and community service has increased in the nearly five years since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, according to a new survey. About 22 percent of congregations reported participating in interfaith worship in the past year, compared to 7 percent in a Faith Communities Today 2000 Survey. And nearly 38 percent of congregations reported participating in interfaith community service work, compared to 8 percent in the 2000 poll. Faith Communities Today is a project of the Cooperative Congregational Studies Partnership at Hartford Institute for Religion Research. Minority faiths are most active in interfaith work, the survey found.

Trust protects endangered monuments

By Devlin Barrett

This undated handout photo provided by the National Trust shows the Vesey Street Staircase in New York City, the only surviving above-ground remnant of the original World Trade Center, a vivid and haunting reminder of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
WASHINGTON Anyplace else, the scarred concrete steps would be an eyesore. At ground zero on Sept. 11, 2001, they were a last chance for escape. Now they stand as the last surviving above-ground piece of the World Trade Center. The Survivors Staircase was named one of the nations most endangered historic places Wednesday, along with whole swaths of New Orleans and Mississippi damaged by Hurricane Katrina. By singling out the staircase and sections of the South, the National Trust for Historic Preservation is seeking to preserve areas hit by the two biggest American disasters of recent memory. Katrina, noted Trust president Richard Moe, damaged more historic homes than any event in the history of the country. The Trust is a private nonprofit group founded in 1949. In New York, the rumbling of construction around ground zero has weakened the staircase, and it is not included in plans for a new tower. To Sept. 11 survivor Patty Clark, the Trade Center staircase is symbolic of all of us
who were witnesses to that day. Its still strong, somewhat damaged, but thats kind of like we all are. Clark and other employees of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey used the staircase to escape Tower 1 after the terror attacks in New York. She had already walked down 65 flights of stairs when she got to the World Trade Center plaza. Debris from Tower 2, which had just collapsed, filled the plaza, leaving the open-air staircase as the only way out. She and other employees followed the stairs down to ground level at Vesey Street and raced north, escaping just minutes before their own tower collapsed. For people who got out of the building, it was by steps, so steps are very important to the people who lived, she said. Supporters say they could live with seeing the staircase moved in order to preserve it, as long as it isnt placed far from its original site. Moe said most people dont know the staircase remains, since it is closed to the public. Its an enormously important artifact, he said. In the South, historic Mississippi towns and New Orleans neighborhoods face demolition after the 2005 hurricane. the University this year by allowing KU Cuisine and Beak Em Bucks as payment options and wanted to give back to the students.

Chabad and Hillel provide different atmospheres that suit different students. Tiechtel said Chabad is different in that it is more like a home and family because he, his wife and his daughter are there 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Jay Lewis, executive director of KU Hillel, said Hillels job, as the most broad-based Jew-
ish organization on campus, is to support anything Jewish at the University, ranging from the Jewish studies minor through the University and KU Chabad. He said he was happy that there were more options for Jewish students and thought few students would choose only one organization to attend. Lewis himself plans to attend Chabad events. Its going to be kind of an overall partnership, Lewis said, adding that there was no sense
of competition for students between the organizations. Tiechtel said Chabad had been well-received at the University and he has felt a warm, welcoming, openminded feeling from everyone. He said the center came to the University after Chabad headquarters received many requests from students, faculty and parents. When he heard it was looking to open a chapter, he wanted to get
involved. Tiechtel moved to Lawrence from Brooklyn, New York, where he taught at a Talmudic seminary with his wife, to start the center. He said he had brothers all over the world who operate Chabad centers, including centers in Berlin and Tennessee, Its been in my blood, Tiechtel said. Ive always been aspiring to it.

1A Grinstead said the number of pets in the shelter would continue to increase until the end of the summer, reaching up to 1,000 animals before the number would begin to decrease. Gwen Gerdsen, Wichita senior, worked at the shelter for a year. She said the worst part of the job was the intake desk, where people left animals they couldnt, or wouldnt, care for. Most people who leave their pets never anticipated how much of a responsibility a pet would be, she said. Some people legitimately have to leave their animal, she said. But a lot of people dont tell the truth and shouldnt have had the pet in the first place, she said. One woman brought in her cat because the feline wouldnt use a litter box. More than half of the adoption applications made by college students are not approved. Many try to be sneaky on their applications, Grinstead said, by giving false information about their apartments pet policies and where the pet would be living. The Humane Society is proactive about making sure pets are treated properly. They visit the homes of recently adopted pets and recover animals that are mistreated or not living according to what was agreed upon in the adoption application, she said. A cause for improvement Sue Novak, president of the Lawrence Humane Society board of directors, said the shelter currently sets the example for the other shelters in the state. But 10 years ago, the shelter was deep in debt and had a bad relationship with the surrounding community. The biggest change, Novak said, happened when Grinstead became director nine years ago. Grinsteads work gave the shelter credibility in the community and the nation, she said. The shelter switched cleaning products and vaccines, which made the animals healthier, and reduced its euthanasia rate from 80 percent to less than 15 percent. As a full-service shelter, they accept any animal for any reason and refuse to euthanize animals for space reasons. The animals that are euthanized about 9 percent of dogs and 20 percent of cats are typically too sick or injured to continue living or they have a violent temper, preventing them from being adopted for safety reasons. To control the animal population, the Lawrence shelter spays or neuters every animal older than eight weeks. Grinstead also offers local pet owners subsidies

Lawrence sophomores Susan Lawhorn and Josh Gering carry puppies Benny and Mallory to the play area at the Lawrence Humane Society on Wednesday. The two have been volunteering their time at the shelter since the begining of the year. They come every Wednesday and Friday and try to play with at least five dogs a piece. ing to care for them full-time an easy alternative to taking on the responsibility of having your own pet while in college. While the nine full-time and four part-time staff members provide the animals with food and clean cages, the volunteers have all the fun, Grinstead said. After completing a brief training session, volunteers are able to walk dogs, pet cats and groom the animals. Grady and Megan Plumb, Overland Park sophomore, volunteer at the shelter once a week for a few hours. On each trip, they walk two to three puppies and a few older dogs, who explore and exercise in one of the larger outdoor enclosures. Taking the animals outside brings their personalities to life, Grady said. The older dogs can travel outside with their kennel mates, but puppies like Peanut live and play alone. While alone indoors, Peanut passively waits for attention. When outdoors, she bounces around a grassy enclosure in the shelters front yard and alternates bursts of hyperactive running with calmly enjoying the attention the two volunteers give her. Plumbs own family adopted their dog Destin, a white, German Shepard-lab mix, from a Kansas City-area shelter. Volunteering at the shelter helped her miss Destin a little less. Although she began volunteering to fulfill her sororitys required service hours, she said it was the best volunteer work shed ever done. With finals approaching, students are sporadic in their volunteer efforts, Grinstead said. But playing with the dogs provided a relaxing break from school. Grady said they volunteered as much for themselves as they did for the dogs.

4A The class has worked on other community service projects in the past, but this one was unique because Guth has a personal connection to the shelter: he adopted his golden retriever, Boomer, from the Lawrence Humane Society. Marissa Rosenblum, Kansas City, Mo., senior, said the project allowed the group to help a re-
spectful organization. Through analyzing the shelters needs, she learned that students could still volunteer their time to help increase community awareness of the shelters needs and goals, despite not having the money to help financially, she said. The 10 groups presented their work to Grinstead at the end of April. She said the Humane Society planned on adding some of the students proposed events and ideas to their current fund-
raising and publicity campaign, including a Valentines Day event and poker parties. The students also suggested that it be the host of animal rights seminars and recruit more involvement from the Greek community. Playtime Although Gerdsen has already adopted her mutt, Cassie, from the Lawrence Humane Society, the Wichita senior still volunteers at the shelter three to four times a month. She said it was easy to get attached to the dogs, especially the ones that were there for long periods of time. Grady said she quickly found favorites, including Peanut, when she volunteered. If she didnt live in a sorority, she said she would take the puppy home with her. Each week she goes in hoping to play with Peanut. But at the same time, she hopes Peanut can find a home where she will get attention from a full-time family, instead of just occasional visitors. Edited by Jodi Ann Holopirek

The bunny that McLeod, Overland Park sophomore, bought nearly three months before had been thrown off her balcony by a man who claimed he was too drunk to know what he was doing. He blamed it on his alcoholism, McLeod said. On Sept. 28, that man went to court for charges of animal cruelty. He was sentenced to probation and fined $200. McLeod said she thought it was nothing more than a slap on the wrist for his actions. At the time animal cruelty was not considered a felony in the state of Kansas. Today, intentional animal cruelty is a felony according to the Senate Bill 408. For Midge Grinstead, director of the Lawrence Humane Society, the bill was a nine-year battle. The bill finally passed unanimously through the house in March. Just last month Gov. Kathleen Sebelius signed the bill into law. It not only passed, but it was a slam dunk, Grinstead said. According to the bill, people convicted of intentional animal cruelty will be sentenced to jail for a minimum of 30 days or a maximum of one year and fined $500 to $5,000 depending on the severity of the abuse. They must have a psychological evaluation while in jail and they cannot own an animal for the next five years.
eople convicted of international animal cruelty will be sentenced to jail for a minimum 30 days or a maximum of one year and fined $500 to $5,000.
For McLeod though, the bill came too late. I wish they would have made it a felony a long time ago, McLeod said. It should have been a felony. The Lawrence Humane Society performed more than 750 investigations on animal cruelty and neglect last year according to Grinstead. About 20 percent of the investigations resulted in the animals being removed from the home. Dogs, especially larger breeds such as pit bulls and rottweilers, account for a majority of animal cruelty cases, Grinstead said. The most common type of abuse for all animals the Humane Society sees is neglect. Under the new law, neglect isnt automatically a felony; only on the second offense of neglect can a person be convicted of a felony. Animals that are removed from homes because of abuse or neglect are taken in at the Humane Society. After the police department gives releases for the animals, they can be adopted. Background checks for animal cruelty are done on anyone adopting a pet. People interesting in adopting an animal rescued from abuse are informed about the animals history before adopting. Knowing the history of the pet doesnt discourage people from adopting though. I think they all want to help, Grinstead said. People
are very sympathetic and want to adopt. Holly Romero, Colorado Springs, Colo., senior, is one such person. Last fall she went to nearly every pet store in Lawrence in search of a ferret, She ended up at the Humane Society. Quentin, a neglected ferret, arrived at the shelter with a family of ferrets. If you can take in an animal thats been abused or neglected its an amazing thing, Romero. I immediately fell in love with Quentin. The Humane Society told Romero that Quentin came from a home with a number of pets that had been neglected. Grinstead remembered that when the ferrets arrived at the shelter they were invested with fleas and underweight. When Romero first brought Quentin home he was less active than her other ferret, Baz. He slept a lot and seemed exhausted, she said. It would take Quentin awhile to come out of the cage, like he was scared. Quentin is more active and less timid now, Romero said. Today, the fleas and fears are gone, but Quentin deals with a more permanent problem because of his neglect. He doesnt have good use of his back legs, Romero said. From what she had been told, Quentins legs suffer from being caged and walking on the wire floors of the cage for too long. Romero said the new law would give people more of a reason to not abuse their animals. Not that people should need a reason, she said. Edited by Timon Veach

Ex-cons down on their luck

By DaviD TwiDDy
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Lamar Brooks has spent the past two weeks looking for a job _ and explaining to potential employers why he didnt need one for the past five years. Brooks, 30, of Kansas City, was in federal prison on drug charges. He said thats been a tough obstacle as hes looked through newspaper and online classifieds and even had some interviews. Most people, when they hear youre a felon, they dont give you a chance, he said. Federal probation officials said employment is a common problem for ex-offenders trying to reinsert themselves into society after prison and can become a reason they return to crime. On Thursday, federal probation officials in Kansas City will hold a career fair, matching an estimated 400 recently released offenders, such as Brooks, with around 20 companies willing to give them a shot. We felt there was a need for prisoner re-entry in the Kansas City area, said Chi King, who is coordinating the event. Were just trying to hook them up with employers where they already know from the get-go what theyre getting. It removes that one barrier and were hoping there will be some good matches as a result of this. The felons go through a oneday job readiness class that helps them develop a resume and instructs them on how to deal with the inevitable ques-
tions about their past. King said the companies range from typical service industries to white collar jobs, trying to push offenders toward real careers that will stick with them. Job-seeking is stressful enough, King said. But when you add on the stigma of a felon and you walk into an interview knowing youre going to have to explain that felony, its downright frightening. The event mirrors a job placement program federal probation officials in St. Louis began in 2002 that has become a model for federal and state jurisdictions around the country. Last year, the St. Louis program matched 550 former offenders with 42 employers and another 20 organizations providing job training or other community resources. Coordinator Scott Anders estimates the program has a 15 percent placement rate. In addition, probation officers have developed partnerships with apprenticeship programs and steered job training toward areas of high job growth, such as computer training, hotel management and auto repair. The program now holds annual conferences to teach its lessons to other prison and probation officials, Anders said, adding that only four other federal court districts offer similar job match programs for offenders. Its real important that theres a work force culture in law enforcement agencies so employment is a priority, he said. Doug Burris, chief of proba-

His districts caseload of 1,800 individuals averages an unemployment rate of just 3 percent. Helping ex-convicts find work hasnt been a priority for federal and state probation offices, which are focused on substance abuse problems, Anders and Burris said. I hope to find someone who will take a chance on me, he said.
WESTMINSTER, Texas Authorities went door to door in a search for victims Wednesday after twisters ripped through rural North Texas overnight, reducing homes to concrete slabs and killing at least three people. At least 26 homes were destroyed. Ten people were hospitalized and dozens of others were treated at the scene for minor injuries. An elderly couple were found dead in a destroyed mobile home in Westminster,
about 45 miles northeast of Dallas, Collin County Fire Marshal Steve Deffibaugh said. He said a 14-year-old was found dead in a home in neighboring Grayson County. It sounded like a regular thunderstorm, then it went crazy, said Cathy Dotson, who huddled on the floor of her Westminster home with her grandchildren when the tornado hit Tuesday night. I could actually feel my house move. Christy Adame, who lives a half-mile from the home where the elderly couple died, took shelter in a closet with her husband and two sons.

Manager sentenced for blaze that killed 100

By Eric TuckEr
PROVIDENCE, R.I. A former rock-band manager whose pyrotechnics caused a nightclub fire that killed 100 people was sentenced Wednesday to four years in prison well short of the maximum drawing sobs and groans from victims relatives. Some were so angered by the sentence given to Daniel Biechele who could have received 10 years that they stormed out of the courtroom. One man yelled Typical (expletive) Rhode Island. What do you think of your son now? Patricia Belanger shouted to Biecheles mother. Belanger, who lost her 30-yearold daughter, Dina Ann DeMaio, told reporters afterward: Now its her turn to suffer, just
like weve been suffering because of her son. Before sentencing, Biechele gazed downward and choked back tears as he apologized for the Feb. 20, 2003, blaze at The Station nightclub in West Warwick. I dont know that Ill ever forgive myself for what happened that night, so I cant expect anyone else to, he said, his lip quivering. I never wanted anyone to be hurt in any way. I never imagined that anyone ever would be. Testimony from victims relatives Monday and Tuesday left lawyers, court officials and at one point the defendant himself in tears. Some described a grief so powerful that they could not get out of bed in the morning, and said they looked forward to nothing except being reunited with their loved
ones in death. Superior Court Judge Francis Darigan Jr. gave Biechele, 29, less than half the sentence he could have received under a deal he struck with prosecutors in February, when he pleaded guilty to 100 counts of involuntary manslaughter. Victims families briefly thought Biechele was getting a 15-year sentence, but the judge suspended 11 years of that term. Weve already suffered almost that long four years. Weve already suffered that long, said Michelle Hoell, whose sister, Tammy Mattera-Housa, died in the fire. DeMaios sister, Jessica Garvey, called the sentence infuriating and ridiculous. Four years is nothing, she said outside court. In explaining his sentence, Darigan told Biechele, The
greatest sentence that can be imposed upon you has been imposed upon you by yourself, that is having to live a life, an entire life, knowing that your actions were the proximate cause of the deaths of 100 people. Biechele, the first person to be sentenced for the fire, was led out of the courtroom in handcuffs and transported to the state prison in Cranston to begin serving his sentence. The owners of the club are awaiting trial on manslaughter charges. Biechele was the tour manager for the heavy metal band Great White when he lit a pyrotechnics display that ignited highly flammable foam that lined the walls and ceiling of the nightclub. The foam was used as soundproofing and was placed there by the owners after neighbors complained about noise.

Wanted: Northern pikeminnow

By JEff Barnard
No more classrooms, no more books
CHINOOK LANDING, Ore. On his first cast of the season, Jim Walker pitched a lure resembling a baby salmon into the dark green waters of the Columbia River and BAM! hooked a 24-inch fish with a $4 bounty on its head. But alas, we didnt hook another one all day, the 73-yearold retiree said. It may not always be easy, but fishermen who can fill their coolers can also fill their pockets some getting nearly $40,000 for helping to control the most voracious predator of baby salmon in the Columbia Basin, the northern pikeminnow. To help make up for the harm done to salmon by the governments hydroelectric dams in Washington, Oregon and Idaho, the Bonneville Power Adminis-
tration is paying a bounty of $4 to $8 for each northern pikeminnow caught, as long as it is at least nine inches long. There are also more than 1,000 specially tagged bonus fish worth $500 each scattered through the 450 miles of the lower Columbia and Snake rivers to attract more fishermen and help biologists gauge the effect of the bounties. Fishermen have to turn in the pikeminnows to claim the bounty. The fish are then ground up into fertilizer. (An attempt a few years ago to turn them into fish sticks in Chicago proved a failure. Pikeminnows are not good eating; they are bony and the flesh is mushy and has little flavor.) Over the years, federal, state and local governments have offered bounties on such creatures as coyotes, gophers, crows, skunks and swamp rats known as nutria. But this is believed to
be the only federal bounty now being offered for fish. Folks who really work at it, 12 to 18 hours a day and seven days a week, can gross $20,000 during the May-to-October season. Two of the 1,800 people who collected bounties last year got paid close to $40,000 each. It does take a lot of work, and it does take some knowledge to really catch them consistently, said Tim Caldwell, 46, who was 10th on the money list with $19,084 for 2,425 fish, two of them bonus fish. Im after it for the money. Caldwell has been bounty fishing since the program started in 1991, full-time since he sold his gas station and tackle shop three years ago. His best day was 141 fish, but when he got home he was as tired as he has ever been in his life, having gotten up at 2 a.m. and fished until 10 p.m.

Iraqi president calls for peace

By Tarek el-TaBlawy
BAGHDAD, Iraq President Jalal Talabani urged Iraqs feuding factions Wednesday to unite against surging crime and terrorism, saying Iraqis feel shock, dismay and anger at the ongoing slaughter. The government reported 952 people most of them civilians died nationwide last month in terrorist violence, including attacks by sectarian death
squads that torture and kill their victims before dumping the mutilated bodies in the streets. What is asked of the political parties is that they strenuously and clearly condemn these crimes, regardless of who the perpetrators are, Talabani, a former Kurdish guerrilla commander, said in a statement. Clerics be they Muslim, Christians, Shiite or Sunni from all factions should also issue edicts rejecting these acts. Figures from the ministries
of health and interior showed that during April, 686 civilians were killed in politically motivated violence, along with 190 insurgents, 54 policemen and 22 Iraqi soldiers. Eighty-two coalition troops including 76 Americans, three Italians, one Romanian, one Britain and one Australian died in Iraq during the same period. The ministries figures for previous months were not available Wednesday night.
At least 3,550 Iraqis, including civilians, officials and security forces, have been killed in war-related violence this year, according to an Associated Press tally. That includes at least 615 in January, 741 in February, 1,038 in March and 801 in April. U.S. officials say the relentless bloodshed adds new urgency to efforts by Iraqs religiously and ethnically based parties to complete formation of a broadbased government.

Calamities abound; Lawrence pereserveres

Fires and storms and mumps, oh my! The gods havent been kind to the University of Kansas this school year. There hasnt been a year so lled with disasters and happenings in recent memory. There was the Boardwalk Apartment Fire in October that claimed three lives, one a KU student. Another house burned down in October. There were three res in April, on the 10th, 29th and 31st. A microburst came out of nowhere on March 12, blowing down trees and signs, smashed cars, houses and businesses, rendering the student ghetto powerless and creating $6 million worth of damage to campus. They even cancelled class. Then came the mumps. What started as a few KU students coming down with the disease has become a fullblown epidemic. At last count there were 164 conrmed cases at the University. With graduation coming, it could spread even more. There was a double shoot-

ing, one of which was fatal, in February at the Granada. John Randle got in trouble with the law, again. And the mens basketball team still cant get out of the rst round of the NCAA tournament. Try to nd a student who wasnt affected. If you didnt get a car smashed you got the mumps. Or you knew someone who lived at the Boardwalk Apartments. But the Universitys still here. We might be a little battered, sick or shot, but its going. So we should give ourselves a pat on the back for making it through one tough year. John Jordan for the editorial board
Take a stand on domestic abuse
LIZ STUEWE opinion@kansan.com

According to the ofce of the attorney general, a woman in Kansas is beaten every 29 minutes. Read that again. Read it and really think about it. Every 29 minutes. And that is just in Kansas. Domestic violence is a massive, urgent and heartbreaking problem. Relationships are tricky. Every day we navigate the often volatile waters of friendships, romantic relationships and family affairs. But learning to protect yourself and others in relationships may be the greatest political act of your life. For decades feminists have used the phrase the personal is political, often attributed to Carol Hanisch, as a rallying cry for many different social movements. But what does it mean? And what can it offer those of us looking to help end the violence? The personal is political means that society and the government have an inuence in everything you do. They even have power in your romantic relationships. For example, our society has designated the police as the proper authority to deal with domestic violence, and in many cases the police are the only protection available to women. Therefore, the political actions that shape the police and their policies are of utmost importance to those concerned about women in domestic violence situations. The personal is political. What does this mean for women in college? It means we need to stick together; we need to be politically active in order to protect ourselves and our sisters. According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, 85 percent of all domestic violence victims are women. The rst step toward political action is, ttingly, personal. Tell everyone you know that it is never acceptable for loved ones to use violence. Never. Ever. Support your friends dealing with abusive relationships. Offer them safety. Call the police when you hear your neighbors having a violent argument. Then use the public systems available to your best advantage. Lobby the police for fair treatment, educate yourself about the legal system, call your local congresswoman or man and tell them that protecting women should be a priority. Volunteer. Call the Womens Transitional Care Services of Lawrence at 785-843-3333 and tell them that you want to support women trying to escape violent situations and women who are rebuilding their lives after abuse. While you are reading this newspaper in class, two more women in Kansas could become victims of domestic violence. It is time to take action. Do your part to end domestic violence.

Gas price hike deserves careful consideration

Sometimes, it becomes alltoo clear that there are some laws only a politician could think up. With the present energy crisis and I use that term lightly there seems to be an overwhelming upsurge in proposals of that ilk. Take for instance Sen. Bill Frists recent bid to issue $100 checks as reimbursement for high gas prices. Since its proposal, the idea has already been abandoned or at least put on the shelf for the time being. It is still worth consideration because it gives us an insight into just what exactly is running through Congress brain or lack thereof. Besides reeking of socialist ideologies and completely disregarding the Constitution, it is utterly devoid of any kind of rudimentary economic sense. One has to wonder if any politician actually sat down and did some rough estimates of the impact of this kind of action. If $100 were given to all 300 million Americans, it would cost about $30,000,000,000. Yes, thats right; there are 11 zeros in that number. Of course, the federal government could just as easily repeal the 18.4 cents per gallon it current taxes gasoline consumers. If I use 520 gallons per year 10 gal/week times 52 weeks that would save me roughly $95. Plus, it would only cost half the price $15.4 billion according to 2004 numbers of that other inane idea. The plan would have actually taxed gas companies to pay that $30 billion. Talk about rob-
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Images misrepresent
Im a guy. I like guys, too. I recently saw my rst episode of Queer As Folk, which happened to be the pilot episode for the series, and it nally made sense why gays dont have rights. It is apparent in how the mainstream media, and the public in general, depict homosexuals. Its rare to see a gay character in a network television series or major lm that is better known for his intelligence and personality rather than his frivolous nature and bedroom tendencies. Sure, these characters are well-liked, fun-loving and extremely good-looking, but thats just it a pretty face with the personality of a pomeranian. Two groups of people watch these productions and form ideas and opinions that affect the current standing, and future, of the gay community gay youth and heterosexual voters. Although not conclusive, studies have shown that homosexuality is linked to eating disorders and negative body image. Diseases thought to be strictly female are now found in males. A 2000 study in the International Journal of Eating Disorders by Harvard undergraduate Christopher Russell and psychology professor Pamela Keel found that men make up 10 to 15 percent of people with eating disorders, and 10 to 42 percent of those men identify themselves as bi- or homosexual. In a world where appearance means everything, it is understandable why some gays resort to a potentially fatal process in order to drastically change their bodies. The extremely popular event known as Pride is a surere way to get religiously conservative voters to sashay onto the bandwagon of gay rights. Images of explicit sexual activity and cross-dressing divas parading in cities throughout America illustrate the moralistic and family-values platform gay activists endorse. In 2003, Bill OReilly displayed graphic images of gay sex during Gay Days on his show. How does the majority of the public, perfectly content with where society is, react to these images? Homosexuals should be entitled to a good time, but when it obstructs the perception of the community, a communal inspection must be done and decisions must be made in the name of progress. Chris Horn Lenexa sophomore
ANDREW SOUKUP opinion@kansan.com

bing Peter to pay Paul. Now, I know this is a lot of math, but bear with me a second. $15.4 billion divided by 18.4 cents equals roughly 84 billion gallons of fuel sold in the U.S. in 2004. Divide $30 billion by that gure, and the gas companies would have to increase the price by almost 36 cents to recoup the difference. The point is that the gas companies are not going to donate that money out of the goodness of their hearts. Rather, it will come directly out of our pockets. Of course, I really would have hoped that no KU student especially those who did not vote $100 Fee Cut would ever get to take advantage of this action if it came to pass. Call me crazy, but I would rather spend $100 on something I actually use, like gas, instead of things I do not use, like Watkins Health Center, the rec center, child care, LGBT services, etc. Now, some lawmakers such as Chuck Schumer suggest targeting the gas companies themselves. Citing increased prots in recent years, they suggest that the increased price of gasoline is in some way a complete fabrication aimed only at lining the pockets of slick CEOs. Fortunately,
logic again comes to the rescue. EXXON prots roughly ten cents per gallon of gasoline it sells. That, by the way, is just a bit more than half of what the federal government takes away and only slightly more than a third of what the State of Kansas makes away with. However, Exxon continues to make more in prots than either government. Hows that, you might ask. The answer lies in the underlying cause of the price increase and, moreover, is a matter of shear scope. Exxon, however, sells gas and oil all around the world. The U.S., however, can only tax gasoline sold within its borders. However, as the worlds two most populist nationsIndia and Chinacontinue to ramp up their demand for fuel, prices naturally go up, as do prots; for, the more fuel sold, the more prot that is made. And, yet, no one ever suggests paying professors or the chancellor less in order to lower our tuition. Nor do legislators vote to decrease their pay in order to lower our taxes. There is no quick-x solution to increasing prices at the pump. And, policies based on bad economic principles will not help either. Perhaps, instead of trying to hijack an entire industry, the government including Student Senate should focus on ways of saving us money that are actually somewhat feasible and within their inherent authority to do so.

From jazz to basketball to school to charity, Kansas legend Bud Stallworths done it all
t has been 35 years since Bud Stallworth sent Allen Fieldhouse fans into a frenzy by scoring 50 points against Missouri in arguably the greatest individual performance in Kansas basketball history. Yet even today, Stallworth still gets a cheer from the crowd. But the applause he receives these days is for his charity work rather than his athletic accomplishments. For Stallworth, chairman of Tuesdays Rock Man Celebrity Golf Classic, knowing the money raised from the event will help children with special needs is more satisfying than any standing ovation.
Ive had many blessings in my life, he said. And now Im in a position where I can make a difference. Stallworth, whose number 15 jersey hangs from the rafters of Allen Fieldhouse, is driven to lend a helping hand to others because he knows what a difference it can make. His journey to KU basketball immortality did not begin on the basketball court, but rather in the makeshift band room of his segregated Alabama public school. The talented trumpet player received scholarship money allowing him to attend a music camp in Lawrence, where he would ultimately ful-
fill his hardwood destiny. After helping the 1971 basketball team achieve unparalleled success, the Alabama gunslinger shot through the Kansas record books in 1972, scoring more points in conference play than any other player in KU history and coming within two points of tying Wilt Chamberlains school record for points scored in a game. Stallworth, who at 6-foot-5 had the ball-handling ability of a point guard, was drafted in the first round in both ABA and NBA drafts, but a car accident in 1972 cut his promising career short.

The Jayhawks got an unexpected day of rest after We d n e s d a y s baseball game against Missouri State was canceled because of weather, but it might have been more hurt- Price ful than helpful. Wednesdays match-up was the last opportunity Kansas had to pick up a quality victory on the road. A victory against Missouri State would have helped make up for last weekends sweep by No. 4 Texas losses that make Kansas chances of getting a bid into the NCAA tournament less certain. The Jayhawks are down to their last six games before the
Big 12 Tournament. Kansas coach Ritch Price said he was determined to advance the Jayhawks into the NCAA tournament for the first time since 1994. Im going to give, hopefully, my best motivational speech of the year about how important the next two weeks are, Price said before Tuesdays practice. Kansas has fallen to the No. 7 spot in the Big 12 standings. It barely made the Big 12 Tournament, which only takes the top eight teams. Kansas must now rely on its strength of schedule, a measure based on the difficulty of teams played, which is reflected in the Ratings Percentage Index. Kansas currently has the No. 38 RPI ranking, according to www. boydsworld.com.

Add another award to the long list of honors compiled this season by Serena Settlemier in her recordbreaking senior campaign. The leagues coaches named Settlemier the Settlemier Big 12 Player of the Year Wednesday afternoon in a ceremony in Oklahoma City. It marked the first time in program history that a Jayhawk received the honor. She was also named to the All-Big 12 First Team for the first time in her career. This is a huge accomplishment, Settlemier said following the ceremony. I think its a turning point in my career. It shows Ive overcome a lot of adversity. The Kelso, Wash., native has set numerous single-season and program records in her final season. Her 21 home runs, 59 RBI and 123 total bases are a Kansas single-season record. Settlemiers six grand slams this season are believed by the Kansas Athletics Department to lead the nation, although no official stats for grand slams are kept. She also leads all Kansas batters with her .331 batting average, including a .295 average in Big 12 play. For her career, she leads the school with 43 home runs and 115 RBI. Settlemier has also been one of the Big 12s most consistent pitchers. She boasts a 1.21 ERA, including a 0.83 ERA in conference play and has a 16-6 record on the season, the best mark of her career. Clutch hits in key situations have been the hallmark of Settlemiers senior season. In the past month, she has hit two of her careers most memorable home runs. She hit her fifth grand slam of the season. The hit vaulted Kansas over Missouri in the fifth inning of a game at Arrocha Ballpark. Weeks later she smacked a pitch over the left field fence against Wichita State. The hit was Kansas first of the game and lifted the team to a 21, come-from-behind victory. Settlemier said she thought the award would bring more attention to the Kansas softball program. I think itll give people higher expectations to reach, Settlemier said. Settlemier has been named the Big 12 Player of the Week twice and USA Softball Co-National Player of the Week once during the season. Settlemier was drafted earlier in the year by the National Pro-Fastpitch Leagues Texas Thunder, a Houston-based softball team. Postseason Award Notes: n Junior pitcher Kassie Humphreys was also named to the All-Big 12 First Team. Despite her 14-16 record, she has been among the conferences top pitchers this season. She has a 1.31 ERA, and holds her opponents to a .155 batting average while striking out nearly eight batters per game. Edited by Timon Veach

Kansas may very well be on the bubble for postseason play entering the Big 12 Tournament. Just dont tell Tracy Bunge. I think that were in a pretty good place right now, the Kansas coach said. I think we can obviously help ourselves and make it harder for the committee to not put us in, but I dont think that were in a must-win situation. Kansas hopes to work its way off the bubble at the tournament in Oklahoma City, starting with todays game against Baylor. First pitch against the Bears is scheduled for 11 a.m. No matter the outcome of the Baylor game, Kansas will play two games today. If the team wins, it will play at 7:30 p.m. With a loss, Kansas will play in an elimination game at 2 p.m. Despite Bunges declaration that the tournament will not make or break the season, Kansas players realize the pressure is on, especially against No. 18 Baylor. I dont think theyre excited to play us, senior pitcher Serena Settlemier said. We hit pretty well off their pitching and were going to see the same pitcher. Having faced every possible opponent in the tournament, the Jayhawks expect few surprises. For Settlemier and junior pitcher Kassie Humphreys, the disadvantage is that nearly every hitter has already seen their pitches. Theyve now seen you one or two times, Humphreys said. I think that could work as an advantage or disadvantage. As was the case in the earlier meeting with Baylor, Bunge said pitching was the key to keeping Kansas in close games. Kassie and Serena have been doing such a good job throughout the conference schedule, Bunge said. We feel

Frankenstein and the Jayhawks take on the Baylor Bears today in the Big 12 Tournament. very good about what were doing on the mound and know that if we can scratch out a few runs here and there that we can be in any ballgame with anybody in the league. Kansas split the regular season series with Baylor in Waco, Texas. Each team won a game by the score of 2-1. The Jayhawks won the first game, thanks to Settlemiers home run in the 11th inning. Humphreys recorded the victory, struck out 13 batters and allowed two hits in 11 innings of work. I felt it was one of the best games Ive pitched in conference, Humphreys said. I really felt like I had good control over my pitches and I stayed ahead of every batter. Baylor won the second game, knocking out Settlemier in four innings. The Jayhawks recorded only two hits in the game, one by Settlemier and one by senior right fielder Heather Stanley. Offensively, the Jayhawks are as hot as theyve been all season. Senior shortstop Destiny Frankenstein, freshman center fielder Stevie Crisosto and freshman third baseman Val Chapple each bring a team-high two game hit streak into the tournament.

Kansas will face Bradley and Northern Colorado this weekend in the Jayhawk Classic. The two teams hold a 198 and a 245 RPI ranking, respectively. Rankings like those are not particularly helpful in boosting a teams strength of schedule, an aspect helpful to making the tournament.A teams is chosen for the tournament based on its win-loss record and strength of schedule. Sometimes, a team with fewer victories stronger schedule might have a better chance of making it to the tournament than one with more victories and a weaker schedule. I havent really looked at that, senior closer Don Czyz said. But it seems like in order to get in, from what weve done in years past, like last year we had 38 wins and didnt make the tournament. It seems like were going to need more than 38, and if were sitting here at 33, I would say its probably going to take us winning out and maybe getting a couple of games in the Big 12 tournament. Kansas can win a maximum of 39 games before heading to Oklahoma City for the Big 12 Championship, which would produce a 13-14 conference record. Last season, the Jayhawks collected 38 victories and an 11-15 conference record, and failed to get a tournament bid. I think that well get in, Price said. Based on how good of a schedule weve played and some of the quality wins that we have especially the quality of wins we have on the road.
Kansas won a series at Stanford in February, and one game against No. 2 Clemson on March 11. However, Kansas lost the other two games against Clemson, which holds a No. 2 RPI ranking. No matter how hard weve worked, weve always came up a little short, said Czyz, who pulled a lot of weight in the Jayhawks stretch of 17 consecutive games versus ranked opponents earlier this season. Im hoping that this year the hard work and tough schedule will pay off. The Big 12 sits behind the ACC and SEC as the No. 3 toughest conference by RPI standards. Although Kansas sits at the No. 7 spot in the conference, four games below .500 in Big 12 action, conference teams are helping out. Texas, Nebraska and Oklahoma each rank in the Top 11 in both the Collegiate Baseball poll and the RPI standings. All three will likely earn national seeds heading into the NCAA tournament. Only 16 national seeds are awarded. If the Big 12 gets three of them, which has never happened in the conferences 10 years of existence, it is likely the NCAA will take six teams from the Big 12. If the Jayhawks can win out, theyre in line as team number six. Weve always been the underdogs, Czyz said. And from here on out I guess you could say were the underdog in making the Big 12 tournament and a regional appearance. I think well do it. Edited by Cynthia Hernandez

Former KU quarterback returns to coach offense

Bill Whittemore will join the Kansas football program again this time as an offensive graduate assistant. Kansas coach Mark Mangino announced on Wednesday that the former Kansas quarterback
would join the team. Whittemore was the defensive graduate assistant last season at Louisiana Monroe. The Brentwood, Tenn. native, was an All-Big 12 selection in 2003. He was also the Big 12 Newcomer of the Year in 2002. Whittemore holds the Kansas record for most touchdown passes in a season with 18 in 2003.

Eleven athletes selected to be players of year
BY SHAWN SHROYER
sshroyer@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWRITER
Editors note: Big 12 baseball writer Shawn Shroyer gave out individual awards to college baseball standouts. Kansas still has six games left in the regular season. Big 12 Player of the Year: Tyler Mach Oklahoma State junior third baseman Mach is a newcomer to the Big 12, but his numbers are too amazing to ignore for Player of the Year. Mach has almost single-handedly carried the Cowboys Mach to a near-certain fourth-place finish in the conference. His .399 batting average, 77 hits, 16 home runs, 62 RBI and 138 total bases lead the Big 12. He is ninth in the nation in home runs and RBI, according to boydsworld.com, and only Mach has received Big 12 Player of the Week honors twice this season. Big 12 Pitcher of the Year: Kyle McCulloch Texas junior starting pitcher The Texas right-hander is only 7-4 on the season, but he is 6-1 against Big 12 competition. Earlier this year McCulloch was named Big 12 Pitcher of the Week two McCulloch straight weeks. His 2.91 season ERA is fourth among Big 12 pitchers who qualify, but his ERA against conference foes is a miniscule 1.98. McCullochs 71 strikeouts are third best in the Big 12.
Big 12 Newcomer of the Year: Luke Gorsett Nebraska junior outelder Gorsett transferred to Nebraska from Garden City Community College, and the Cornhuskers would be nowhere near the top of the Big 12 standings without Gorsett him. His .383 average, 41 runs, 67 hits, 15 home runs, 126 total bases, .720 slugging percentage and .456 on-base percentage lead the Huskers. Gorsett is third in the Big 12 in batting and only Mach has more home runs and total bases. Big 12 Freshman of the Year: Roger Kieschnick Texas Tech outelder Kieschnick, a true freshman, leads the Red Raiders in five offensive categories and is on the Big 12 leaderboard in three categories. He leads Kieschaick the team with 72 hits, 48 runs, 14 doubles, 51 RBI and 111 total bases. Kieschnick is third in the Big 12 in hits and fifth in runs and RBI. Big 12 Most Improved Player: Evan Frey Missouri sophomore outelder Frey saw limited playing time in 2005 and had nine hits in 55 atbats for a .164 average. He also walked just four times compared to Frey 11 strikeouts. This season, Frey has appeared in most of Missouris games and leads the team with a .379 batting average, which is tied for fourth best in the Big 12. His walks outnumber his strikeouts, 20 to 19, and he has
doubled his on-base percentage from .242 to .491. Big 12 Coach of the Year: Sunny Golloway Oklahoma In Golloways rst season, the Sooners are surpassing last seasons success and exceeding preseason expectations. Oklahoma made the NCAA TourGolloway nament last season with a 35-26 record and nished fth in the Big 12 with a 14-13 conference record. This season Oklahoma is 37-13 and third in the Big 12 at 15-6. Big 12 coaches predicted Oklahoma to nish fth again in 2006, but with two weekends of Big 12 play left, rst place is within reach for Golloways squad. Kansas Player of the Year: John Allman sophomore outelder Kansas is three victories away from its most successful season of Big 12 play and one reason is Allmans dominion against Big 12 pitching. Allman leads the team outright with a .381 bat- Allman ting average, 16 runs, eight doubles, 51 total bases, a .607 slugging percentage and .469 on-base percentage against Big 12 competition. Hes also tied for the team lead in hits and RBI in conference play. Kansas Pitcher of the Year: Don Czyz senior relief pitcher Kansas right-handed closer has been as clutch as any closer in the nation this season. His 15 saves are tied for the most in the nation and are a Kansas singleseason record. Czyz His 1.69 ERA and 1.06 WHIP are the lowest on the team. His ve victories are tied for second-most on the team. Czyz was named one of three
team captains before the season, is currently on the watch lists for the NCBWA Stopper of the Year, Roger Clemens and Dick Howser Awards and is an AllAmerican candidate. Kansas Newcomer of the Year: Ricky Fairchild senior starting pitcher Fairchild transferred to Kansas from Tulane and the right-hander has been a mainstay in Kansas weekend rotation. In 14 starts, Fairchild is 5-5 Fairchild and Kansas is 86 overall in games he has started. Fairchild is second on the team with four quality starts. Kansas Freshman of the Year: Preston Land rst baseman Early-season injuries forced Kansas coach Ritch Price to inject the true freshman into the lineup and Land has ourished. He leads the team with a .578 slugging percentage and Land is second on the team with a .422 on-base percentage. Those two stats combined equal a 1.000 OPS that leads the team. Lands eight home runs are a Kansas freshman record and his .319 batting average is fourth best on the team. Kansas Most Improved Player: Erik Morrison sophomore third baseman In 2005, Morrison hit just .221 with three home runs, 65 total bases, a .319 slugging percentage and .296 onbase percentage. This season, he is batting .284 with 100 total bases, a .526 slugging percentage and Morrison .349 on-base percentage. Morrisons 11 home runs lead the Jayhawks. Edited by Cynthia Hernandez

Cleveland Indians catcher Victor Martinez watches as Kansas City Royals Angel Berroa celebrates while crossing the plate after hitting a home run during the eighth inning of their baseball game on Wednesday in Kansas City, Mo. Kansas City won the game 10-8.
Eight-inning upset hits K.C.

BY DOUG TUCKER
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Aaron Guiel and Angel Berroa hit solo home runs in the eighth inning and the Kansas City Royals beat the Cleveland Indians 108 Wednesday for a three-game sweep. Every Royals starter had at least one RBI. Guiel connected for his second homer in two games, hitting a tiebreaking shot after the Indians scored three times in the eighth to tie it at 8. Ambiorix Burgos (1-0) balked home the tying run in the eighth but got the victory. Guillermo Mota (0-2) gave up the home runs that gave Kansas City its rst three-game home sweep of the Indians in four years. Kerry Robinson greeted Mota with a two-run triple in a threerun sixth. The Indians then tied it in the eighth, with Ramon Vazquez scoring the tying run on Burgos balk. Royals starter Scott Elarton gave up three runs in the rst on Jason Michaels RBI double and Jhonny Peraltas two-run homer. Elarton did not allow a hit after the rst inning until Casey Blake homered with two out in the sixth.
Paul Bakos tiebreaking RBI single in the sixth chased Westbrook and brought in Mota. Westbrook, who entered the game with a 4-2 record and 1.65 career ERA against Kansas City, gave up eight runs and nine hits in 5 2-3 innings. Matt Stairs hit an RBI double in the fourth and took third when Indians second baseman Ronnie Belliard made a wild throw to the plate. Stairs tied it at 3 on Emil Browns grounder. Esteban Germans RBI grounder and Doug Mientkiewiczs run-scoring single gave the Royals a 5-3 lead in the fth. After Blakes homer made it 5-4, Ben Broussard singled and eventually scored on a single by Vazquez that tied it at 5. Royals Notes: Royals CF Shane Costa, on the DL since April 29 with a left hamstring strain, is headed for Arizona for a few days of rehab and expected to rejoin the team at the beginning of next week. Third baseman Graffanino made a nice play in the sixth, running into foul ground to catch Travis Hafners pop foul in the strong wind.

Stallworth
CONTINUED FROM PAGE

The nickname stuck after the team won 6 games, its last four regular season games and rst two NCAA tournament games, by a combined total of only 13 points. The Jayhawks advanced to the Final Four in Houston, setting up showdown with the UCLA Bruins. Buds bunch found themselves down by 13 with less than ve minutes to go against the talented Bruins. The team began to use a full-court, man-to-man press and the cardiac kids began their charge to resuscitate their national championship dreams. Center Dave Robisch put Kansas ahead by two late in the game, but a controversial traveling call negated the basket. UCLA went on to win the game and its fth consecutive NCAA championship. Stallworth said he would never forget what UCLA coach John Wooden told him. After the game Wooden walked up to Stallworth, who was receiving treatment for an injury, and remarked, Its a nice day, isnt it Bud. When Bud replied that it was, Wooden scoffed, But it could have been nicer. Shooting past the records Fueled by Coach Woodens comments, Stallworth was poised to return to the Final Four his senior year in 1972. Stallworth averaged 25.3 points per game his senior year, the most ever by a KU player who did not play the center position. Stallworth went on to lead the Big 8 Conference in scoring, averaging 27.9 points per game in conference play. He still holds the record for most points scored in conference play in a season with 381. Bob Frederick, the teams assistant coach and future Athletics Director, remembers Stallworth as a picture perfect jump shooter who had the ability to pull up from anywhere on the court. The 1972 team was plagued with injuries and ended the year with a disappointing record, but its last home game was a showdown with archrival Missouri.

1B The herniated disc in his back caused by the accident continues to plague him, but the 56-year-old Stallworth, still a competitor, continues to stay active. Stallworth, one of only three Kansas players to earn All-America honors for academics and athletics, returned to the University in 1987 and currently oversees budgets for multimillion dollar projects for Design and Construction Management. Over the last decade-and-a-half, the proud parent of ve has found a new calling charity. I thought I was going to be the next Louis Armstrong Stallworth grew up in Hartselle, Ala., just a jump shot away from the Arkansas border. He attended Morgan County Training Center, an all-black school for grades one through twelve. The school allowed children of cotton farmers to leave school and return once cotton picking season was over. Stallworth, who began playing with the varsity team in seventh grade, said he often competed against older students who were in their 20s. But in the Stallworth household, education and the arts held precedent over athletics. His parents agreed to let him play basketball as long as he kept an A average and learned to play the trumpet. Stallworth would become a rstchair performer in jazz, concert and marching band, and wowed audiences at local talent shows. I thought I was going to be the next Louis Armstrong, Stallworth said. At the age of 16, his musical talent earned him a scholarship to attend the University of Kansas Midwestern Music & Art Camp, led by Tonight Show band leader Doc Severinsen. His parents encouraged the aspiring musician to attend the camp to hone his gifted musical skills. Little did they know band camp would provide an open lane to a slam-dunk basketball career.

Coach, youve got to see this guy During lunch breaks at band camp, Stallworth would put down his trumpet and put on his Converse Chuck Taylors to play basketball at nearby Robinson Gymnasium, where players from the 1966 team were playing pick-up games. Sixteen-years-old, 6-foot-5 and skinny as a pole, Stallworth held his own against the likes of Jo-Jo White, Rich Bradshaw and Vernon Vanoy. White said that after witnessing Stallworths drive to compete, he knew that the young basketball player had a chance to become something special. He was so impressed with the young Stallworth he went straight into coach Ted Owens ofce and emphatically told his coach, Youve got to see this guy. Stallworth said he chose Kansas over local schools Alabama and Auburn, that were recruiting him to break the color
barrier, because of its basketball tradition. The cardiac kids Because student athletes were not allowed to participate in varsity athletics as freshman, Stallworth did not see varsity action until 1970. He wasted no time asserting himself as a dominant player by scoring 27 points in the season opener against Marshall. Coach Owens said that Stallworth was an amazing athlete who could jump out of the gym. Owens said his combination of size and quickness made Stallworth the prototype of todays NBA guard. Stallworth would play a key role on the 1971 team, the only team in Kansas history to go unbeaten in conference play and win its conference tournament. Stallworth said his team earned the nickname the cardiac kids after a bomb scare in its home opener against Long Beach State.

4B With a victory, Norm Stewarts Tigers could take the league crown and become eligible for NCAA tournament play. The day of the game Stallworth had read in a local newspaper that Stewart believed his star player, John Brown, should win conference player of the year honors, despite the fact Stallworth led the league in scoring. I took that personally, Stallworth said. At that time my ego said Im the best player in this conference, bar none. Motivated by Stewarts comments, Stallworth lit up the Tigers for 50 points in one of the greatest individual performances in Kansas basketball history. When the final buzzer sounded, students celebrated by mobbing Stallworth at halfcourt. Frederick said had the threepoint line been in existence, Stallworth would have had well over 60 points. A career cut short In 1972 Stallworth was drafted as the seventh pick of the first round by the Seattle Supersonics and would later play for the New Orleans Jazz. Stallworth competed against 27 of the leagues 50 greatest players. Stallworth, who was Pistol Petes teammate in New Orleans, said that he often matched up with legends like George Iceman Gervin, Walt Frazier and Doctor Julius Erving. Stallworths career would be tragically cut short in 1977, when a cab he shared with some teammates ran a red light and broadsided another vehicle. The accident left Stallworth with a herniated disc in his lower back. Stallworth would go to several doctors but because of the nature of the injury he was forced to retire. Father knows best After a stint as a restaurant owner in Hawaii, Stallworth returned to Lawrence in 1987 to work at KU Design and Construction Management. He oversees the budget for construction projects and was in charge of 1996s $40 million Crumbling
Classroom initiative. In his Carruth OLeary office, you will find a wall of note books filled with construction documents, a radio playing songs from Magic 107.3 and picture after picture of his wife and five sons in their 20s: Jonathan, Ijon, Isaac III, Christian and Jehren. Stallworth, whose proudest achievement is being one of only three Kansas players to earn All-America honors on the court and in the classroom, made sure his children put as much emphasis on their school work as they did in their athletic and social endeavors. Son Jonathan said his father made sure academics was his first priority. Playing Through Pain When Stallworth isnt busy looking over budgets or spending time with his family, you can find him on the golf course or riding horses at his farmland property on the outskirts of Jefferson County. Because surgery would leave him unable to participate in these activities, Stallworth chose to forgo it, against doctors wishes. For over 30 years Stallworth has gone through a regimen of daily therapy. Some days he is forced to wear a back brace, and on the bad days, he takes prescribed anti-inflammatory pills. Its like playing Russian Roulette, he said. In another 20 years, who knows the consequences, but I might not be around, so right now Im going to live. His Passion Over the last 15 years Stallworth has been involved with charity organizations. By bringing in friends like NBA legends Jo-Jo White and George Gervin to the Slice of Life charity benefit, Stallworth has helped raise nearly $400,000 for the Kansas Area Medical Foundation. This May he served as chair of the 2006 Rock Man Celebrity Classic, a benefit for the Sunshine Center of Independence, Mo., which helps children with special needs. When Stallworth talks about his charity work he gets the same twinkle in his eye as when

Bud Stallworth goes up for a jumper in front of a packed house. Stallworth led the Big 8 Conference in scoring his senior year, averaging 27.9 points per game in 1972 in conference play. The sharpshooters ability to get his shot off quickly made him a threat from anywhere on the court. he talks about his days as a basketball star. Being intricately involved with local charities has become his passion, he said. Former coach Ted Owens said although Stallworth would always be remembered as a KU basketball legend and owned records that may never be broken, he was more proud of Stallworths charity work and the man he has become. Its like Doctor Allen used to say when someone asked him who his best players were, Owens said. Let me wait 15 years and Ill tell you. Edited by John Jordan

thE univErsity Daily Kansan 7B
ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHHH Work as a team, listening to a child or someone who often serves as a muse. Ideas blossom when you both relax and give up being judgmental. Just dont get yourself into an extravagant situation. Tonight: Go for togetherness. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Listen to your instincts surrounding an emotional personal matter. Check out a piece of real estate. You have many ideas that others could find stimulating. Personal interactions are starred. Tonight: Easy does it. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Focus on what you need and want from your daily life. Too much scattered energy could cause way too many problems. Lighten up. You might find that the scenario doesnt happen like you anticipate. Tonight: Get some physical exercise. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH You could be overwhelmed by all that is going on around you. Realize when enough is enough. Romance blooms, and you have a new beginning because of your creativity and emotions. A new friendship could blossom. Tonight: Ever playful. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH You might need time to cool your jets, but as relaxed as you may get, someone seems to find you every time he or she needs help with this project or that situation. Others really want advice and need your time and attention. Tonight: Happy at home. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You might want to reorganize or do something differently. Seek out more information as you design your new path. You might realize just how many options and possibilities you really have. Time is an asset. Tonight: Hang out with favorite people, at a favorite place.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Expenses could go overboard. Think positively about your options. You might be surprised by other solutions. A partner or associate is full of information or suggestions. Be open to different situations. Tonight: Your treat. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Others keep making suggestions, especially if a situation might need renewal or another approach. You could get much more done than you thought possible. Youve got what it takes, no matter what crosses your path. Tonight: Your wish is anothers command.

You have to take care of yourself too! Tonight: Vanish while you can. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Someone might rain on your parade as you are hopping down the victory path. Could this person be jealous? Though you dont want to lose your pace, you might want to stop and clear the air. This person might be able to get past his or her stuff. Tonight: Where the gang is.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH You might want to rethink your direction. You might not have as much control as you would like. Responsibilities tumble on you. You have tons of suggestions. Others might not be able to hear them. Tonight: Could be late. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Dont sit down and rethink a statement. Find that person and talk! You might want to be more sensitive to others. Develop new ways of processing information. The more open you become, the more dynamic your life will become. Tonight: Think vacation.

Surfing for the truth

Kansan staff writer
False information on Web sites causes problems

By Eric JorgEnsEn
ejorgensen@kansan.com
Internet message boards on sports Web sites are the source of many headaches for those in the Athletics Department responsible for guarding the truth. The recent saga with new KU basketball signee Darrell Arthur is a prime example. Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said sports chat rooms and message boards served a valid purpose. I think its great for fans to get engaged and talk to each other, Marchiony said. I like message boards when what I read is accurate. Marchiony said there were plenty of times when what he read on message boards and heard on sports talk shows was inaccurate. Marchiony said he was usu-
ts more than just a nuisance. It can harm the reputations of people unjustly.
Jim Marchiony
Associate athletics director ally the departments contact for media inquiries. He said he often got calls from reporters following up on a rumor they saw or heard on message boards and talk shows. Mason Logan is the sports information director for the football team. Part of his job is to handle all media questions regarding the football team. He said he got calls five or six times a week from people trying to see if the latest rumor was myth or fact. Ill look into almost anything, no matter how ridiculous it is, Logan said.
He said a problem with these types of communication mediums was that people who posted comments were anonymous. Any normal Joe could say whatever they wanted, then have reporters grab onto that and follow up on it. Marchiony said these types of outlets had become a nuisance because people ran with those rumors as if they were fact. News outlets feel like they should follow up on leads from there, Marchiony said. Its dangerous. Its more than just a nuisance. It can harm the reputations of people unjustly. Marchiony said he had a bigger problem with sports talk radio than he had with chat rooms or message boards, because journalists discussed rumors as truths. Edited by Meghan Miller

Spalding and Stanley played the game with a group of friends. The group said it wanted to enjoy the nice weather, and what better way than croquet.
