NEWS WEDNESDAY, JUNE 14, 2006 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 3 Former Jayhawk named to Hall of Fame Marilynn Smith, winner of the 1949 collegiate individual title as a member of the Kansas womens golf team will be inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame 2006 class on Oct. 30, at World Golf Village in St. Augustine, Fla. Smith, one of the original 13 founders of the Ladies Professional Golf Association in 1950 will join Vi- jay Singh, Larry Nelson and Henry Picard in this years class. She will be inducted as this years Lifetime Achievement inductee. In her ve-decade career from the 1940s-1980s on the LPGA tour, Smith won 21 titles including two majors, the 1963 and 1964 Titlehold- ers Championships. She served as the LPGA president from 1958-1960. Smith was also instrumental in the LPGA senior tour organizing one of the rst events, the Marilynn Smith founders classic. She was the rst female to broadcast at a mens golf tournament, reporting at the U.S. Open and the Colonial in 1973. The Marilynn Smith Sunower Invitational, played at Alvamar Golf Club, has been an annual tourna- ment there since 1993. Jack Weinstein Nursing programs to get extra funding All the public nursing programs in Kansas will have the opportunity to receive funding from a ten-year Board of Regents proposal con- cerning the shortage of nurses in the state of Kansas. The funding for the rst year of the ten-year initiative was ap- proved last week. Those institu- tions eligible for the funding must submit applications that were sent to them on June 1. The plan was proposed to in- crease the nursing staff in the state of Kansas by 25 percent. It has been predicted by the Kansas De- partment of Labor that by 2010, to meet the workforce demand, there will be 6,890 new registered nurse positions available . A reason for the shortage is a greater demand in the health care system for an aging population, during the time when many regis- tered nurses will be retiring. Senator Jim Barone (D-Fron- tenac) said it doesnt make sense that we have people interested in nursing, but are turned away from the school because lack of money . Here we have qualied appli- cants, but we dont have the fund- ing, he said . Adrienne Bommarito Czyz wins top award for closer in NCAA Kansas senior closer Don Czyz was awarded the 2006 Stopper of the Year by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association last Thursday. Czyz has already been named to the Louisville Slugger All-America First Team, the All-Big 12 First Team and the 2006 College Foundation All-America team. Czyz beat out Josh Fields of Georgia, Kevin Gunderson of Or- egon State, Vinnie Pestano of Cal State Fullerton and Cole St. Clair of Rice to win the award. The Overland Park native n- ished with a 6-0 record, a 1.56 ERA while leading the nation with 19 saves. The right hander struck out 60 in 63.1 innings pitched. This past season, Czyz helped lead the Jayhawks (43-25, 13-14 Big 12) to their rst Big 12 Conference tournament title and an appear- ance in the NCAA baseball tourna- ment, their rst since 1993. Czyz holds the Big 12 career mark for appearances with 128. His 19 saves and 37 appearances this past season are a Kansas single-season record. He also holds KU career re- cords for saves and appearances. Last week, Czyz was selected in the seventh round of the Major League Baseball draft by the Florida Marlins. Jack Weinstein Fairchild signs with Cleveland Indians A seventh Jayhawk from the 2006 baseball squad has the opportunity to embark on his professional career. Senior right-hander Ricky Fairch- ild signed a free agent contract with the Cleveland Indians. Fairchild transferred to Kansas from Tulane this season and be- came a mainstay in the Kansas weekend rotation. In 18 starts, Fairchild garnered a 6-6 record and ate up 95.1 innings while compil- ing 42 strikeouts. He tied senior closer Don Czyz for second-most wins on the team, and only senior right-hander Kodiak Quick pitched more innings. Czyz, Quick, senior outeld- er Gus Milner, senior shortstop Ritchie Price, senior inelder Jared Schweitzer and junior left-hander Sean Land were all drafted in last weeks MLB Amateur Draft.

Tese primary air sampling tests started June 8 and continued on June 9 and 12. John Neuberger, epidemiologist and prin- ciple investigator, held a closed meeting with about 30 concerned Wescoe Hall employees June 7 to discuss the outline of the study and answer questions they might have about it. Te meeting was closed to ensure that the people there could freely discuss health issues. According to Neuberger, there have been at least fve cases of brain tumors, both benign and malignant. Another sampling will be taken in the fall or winter, according to a handout from the meeting. The company doing the test- ing will be testing for radon, volatile organic compounds, carbon dioxide and mold, as well as other chemicals. The tests will also check the asbestos and lead content within the building, as well as the electromagnetic fields and air exchange velocity at certain locations. Kathleen McCluskey-Fawcett, senior Vice Provost for Academic Afairs, said that the University was responding to concerns from faculty members. Neuberger said that because the types of tu- mors in question develop over long periods of time, this should not be an issue to students. This situation, how- ever, has proven of large concern to many fac- ulty members that have spent years working in their offices located in Wescoe Hall. Marjorie Swann, asso- ciate professor of English, said that in light of the situation, she has moved out of her of ce and works from home, visiting Wescoe Hall only when necessary. She said that because she is part of the faculty she has that option, but the staf people like the custodial staf do not have that choice. Swann said that it would be optimal if all staf and faculty had the option to be relocated, but said she understands there is a space problem. I take this very seriously, Swann said. I think its fair to say that everyone in Wescoe is now afraid. According to Neuberger, the average sta- tistic for brain cancer is 6.6 cases out of ev- ery 10,000 people. So far, there have been at least fve reported cases of brain tumors, three of which occurred within the past year. About 400 people have of ces in Wescoe Hall. We have absolutely no reason to believe that there are health-related problems in Wescoe, McCluskey-Fawcett said. But we do care about our employees. If the testing turned up anything to be worried about, McCluskey-Fawcett said the University would take immediate action. It freaks me out a little bit, said Kelli Teague, Belleplaine, junior. But since Im not here as ofen as the teachers are, Im not per- sonally concerned. Im glad theyre investigating it, said An- drew Ledbetter, Lawrence graduate student. But Im not that freaked out. Te testing process has two phases: the frst is the air quality and electromagnetic testing, and the second is an interview process with those who either currently work in and have worked in Wescoe Hall, and an inquiry about their medical history. McCluskey-Fawcett said the total cost for the seven-month investigation would not be determined until afer the lab sent the bills. Although the fve cases have occurred in people whose of ces were on the second and thrid foors, Neuberger said that all foors will be checked. I think the University is responding quickly and very responsibly, Swann said. I think they are doing the right thing.

Under the trafc commissions recommendation, the speed limit would become 45 mph at Monterey Way and stay at that speed until city limits. Te Kansas Department of Transportation recommended to the trafc commission that the speed limit be set at an intersec- tion instead of in the middle of a street. According to trafc com- missioner Robert Hagan, chang- ing the speed limit in the middle of a street would require more signs and could be confusing for drivers. April Pinon, Topeka senior, who works at Mariscos restau- rant on Sixth Street and Waka- rusa Drive, was happy about the proposed increase. She makes the drive west on Sixth Street to get to work and said she usually drives fve mph over the speed limit anyway. I would defnitely be for it, Pinon said. Te Kansas Department of Transportation set up speed coun- ters on Sixth Street, and found that 85 percent of the trafc passing through was clocked going at or below 48 mph. Teir recommenda- tion was based of of this number. According to David Woosley, public works staf liaison for the city, the new speed limit was recom- mended at 45 mph because if the number were lower, there would be a greater chance at collisions be- cause the majority of people are go- ing above the speed limit anyway. Hagan said that the street was de- signed to accommodate vehicles traveling at 45 mph. Commercial development and congestion in the area is the basis of one argument against the increase, so an increase in speed isnt pertinent. However, the only citizens that spoke up on the subject were in favor of a speed increase. The traffic commission vot- ed unanimously in favor of the increase. The city commission will discuss the matter in a two to three weeks. Kendra Jones, Lawrence se- nior and employee of JB Stouts Sports Bar & Grill, said she thought the proposed speed in- crease was a good idea, even in the residential area affected by the increase. Its residential, but its not like there are houses facing Monterey, Jones said. Edited by Adrienne Bommarito By Tom SlaughTer tslaughter@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Nobody ever said cell phones were cheap. Paying for a phone and the service required to use it is expected, but trafc tickets for using one while driving? Te Law- rence city commission might soon make that a reality. In the coming weeks, city commissioners will have to consider a controversial trafc safety propos- al that would make it illegal to use cell phones while driving, including the use of hands-free devices. If approved, the decision would make Lawrences the harshest cell phone ban in the nation. Chris Wolfe, Topeka senior, needed only two words to express his feelings on the matter. Tats ridiculous, he said. Wolfe said that he was against a full ban on cell phones, but not necessarily one that banned hands- free devices. In a 5-4 vote June 5, the city trafc commission nar- rowly gave its disapproval of the ban. Te trafc com- mission doesnt make decisions for the city; they only act as an advisory board for the city commission. I cant be supportive of an all out ban on cell phones, Jim Ziegelmeyer Jr., chairman of trafc commission, said. I think that the citizens feel strongly that this is a bad ordinance, he said. Close to a dozen local citizens and representatives for Sprint and Cingular Wireless spoke at the meeting, which lasted more than three hours at City Hall. Te majority of the speakers expressed disdain for the proposal, citing mostly the same reasons, respectively. Tey compared using a cell phone to turning the dial on a car radio. Sue Hack, vice mayor, echoed the sentiments of many of the proposals opponents. She said that the hands-free portion of the ordinance was harsh, and would be difcult to enforce. We already have ordinances that regulate inat- tentive driving which would cover cell phone usage. I would like to hear what the stafs recommenda- tion is for increasing the fnes with regard to this situation, but I would not support a total ban on cell phones in Lawrence, Hack said. Critics have questioned precisely how a police ofcer would be expected to notice another driver using a cell phone, particularly at night. Opponents have also claimed that most drivers would probably not pay attention to the ordinance. Nathan Cox, Knoxville, Tenn., graduate student, said he would not be opposed to an all-out ban. Tere is something about talking on a cell phone that is more distracting, he said. Paul Atchley, associate professor of psychology, pro- vided the committee with evidence in favor of a ban. He studies cognitive perception and attention at KU. Te body of research indicates that cell phone use is just as dangerous as driving drunk, Atchley said. Trafc commissioner Carol Jean Brune gave her support for the ban. Cell phone usage by a driver presents a hazard that I would not want as a driver in the City of Law- rence, Brune said. According to Robert Hagan, trafc commission- er, there was no specifc fne proposed for violating the ordinance.

The City Commission recently approved a proposal to raise the speed limit to 45 mph along Sixth Street from Monterrey Way to K-10. Cell phone ban could mean trouble for those who like to multitask NEWS 6 The UniversiTy Daily Kansan weDnesDay, JUne 14, 2006 By dani hurst dhurst@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Tis summer, some newspaper kiosks around campus will have more to ofer students and faculty than just an empty box and a quick refection. Te 2006 sum- mer semester marks the frst summer in which the Student Newspaper Readership Program will be ofered. Mark Hinshaw, regional marketing man- ager for USA Today, said that this was an idea that has been in the works for a while, and is fnally being implemented this summer. Tere will be eight operating kiosks in high-trafc areas determined by the Student Senate around campus: Green Hall, Learned Hall, Fraser Hall, Watson Library, Anschutz Library, Summerfeld Hall and two at the Kansas Union. Andrew Payne, Student Senate execu- tive committee chair and Garden City se- nior, said that this summer will serve as a test run to see if the program is as suc- cessful during the summer as it is during the fall and spring semesters. Were hoping theres as much of a demand, Payne said. Were anticipating there will be. Te Student Newspaper Readership Program provides four daily newspapers Te New York Times, USA Today, Te Kansas City Star and the Lawrence Jour- nal-World for students at the cost of $5 per student per semester, which is in- cluded in the student fees. Students swipe their KUID card in the machine and then take whichever papers they want to read. It helps with students knowledge of current events, Payne said. Teachers also use them in classes. Te funding for the programs sum- mer expansion is being provided by funds lefover from the fee that students paid each fall and spring semester since 2001, the frst year of the program. According to Payne, the total amount spent on the pro- gram in 2005 was $160,000. Hinshaw said the summer program should cost around $11,000. Molly Kocour, former chair of the Newspaper Readership Advisory Board for Student Senate and Lawrence gradu- ate student, said she thought it was a great way to educate students and keep them up to date on whats going on both lo- cally and nationally, as well as providing a cheaper alternative to buying a newspa- per subscription. Nick Sterner, former student body presi- dent, and Shawnee senior, said that in the summer, students are much more detached than in the fall and spring semesters. If we promote it a little, I think it will turn into something students will use, Sterner said. I think its going to be a good little program. Molly Bauer, Palatine, Ill. senior, just recently realized the papers were being ofered during the summer semester. I thought it was a good idea, Bauer said, so people know whats going on around here. Bret Brown, Shawnee junior, is also pleased with the new development. Actually, I feel good about it, Brown said. I read the paper three to four times a week. Hinshaw said that he and some repre- sentatives from his company would visit the campus on June 15 and 16 to help pro- mote the summer program and ofer help to those who might not know how to use the machines. Edited by Adrienne Bommarito By dani hurst dhurst@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Te landlords of a Lawrence house where a University of Kansas freshman fell from a second-story landing and sufered major injuries in 2004 are be- ing sued by the girls family. According to an article in the Law- rence Journal-World, the lawsuit fled on behalf of Sara Anne Driessel by her family alleges that the house, 1045 Tennessee St., was not up to building codes, and that the owners of the house should have been aware of the buildings party house status where underage drinking was a common occurrence. Te suit was fled against the own- ers of the house David and Misti Jones two weeks ago in Douglas County District Court. According to the article, the lawsuit also mentioned the Jones son, Kyle, and stated that he held a party at that house the night Driessel fell. David Jones was unwilling to com- ment about the lawsuit in detail. One thing he said, however, was that he didnt know where the party house allegation came from. Ours is probably the least of the party houses on the street, Jones said. According to the article, police said that Driessel had gone out a second- foor window and onto the walk-out roof to smoke in the early morning in 2004. Tere was no railing around the landing, nor was the window to the out- side sealed. Afer the fall she was fown to the University of Kansas Hospital, 3901 Rainbow Boulevard, Kansas City, KS. Driessel has still been unable to walk or speak since the accident in 2004. Te suit was fled on behalf of Sara by her mother, Beth Driessel. Te Driessel family was unable to be reached for comment.

Family sues landlords Incident at party house led to major injuries to student t houSiNg NEWS WEDNESDAY, JUNE 14, 2006 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 7 Our son, Joseph Daniel Petermann was 21 years old. He was born September 4, 1984 and passed away at home on May 28, 2006. He grew up in Chicago and Arlington Heights, Ill., with his 2 loving brothers, Jef- frey (19) and Daniel (17). Joes large extended family of grandparents, many aunts, uncles, cousins, and long time friend, Haley Kidney mourn his loss with us. Joe enjoyed his brothers company and was proud of them and their individual unique talents; Jefs free spirit and creativity and Dans academic and musical talents. Tey had grown into a chosen friendship with each other; as a parent it was beautiful to watch. Talking with each other and Joes many friends we found out that we all had special private moments with Joe and many just in the week before he passed away. We consider these moments gifs from God. Joe had a beautiful wide smile and a funny sense of humor; he could re- ally make me laugh. He loved to travel and enjoyed the serenity of the ocean. He was bright and had just earned a 4.0 GPA for this past semes- ter and a 3.63 overall; he took pride in achieving his good grades. Joe was sensitive to others and was consider- ing graduate school in psychology. He had many friends from grammar school, Rolling Mead- ows High School and KU. Tey all remember him as being fun, caring and that he got along with everyone. Joe enjoyed Te Chicago White Sox, Texas hold-em, ultimate frisbee, the Arlington Race Track, Seinfeld, the History channel and recently jogging with Spike, the family dog. He studied abroad with his good friend Dave and a couple other KU classmates in Australia from June 2005 to December 2005; he traveled around that coun- try and Fiji and just enjoyed the trip immensely. He was in awe of the beautiful scenery, the people and the shooting stars. He made many friends on that trip from around the world, had kept in contact with them, and had hoped to meet up with them again. Joe loved KU from the time he visited the campus, his many friends, his classes, and following the sports teams, especially the basketball team. He would gather with his friends and call home just to make sure we were watch- ing the games. Joe was a proud and enthusiastic fan. We love Joseph so very much and miss him deeply. Our family is not complete without him and he will re- main in our hearts and prayers forever. I want to share with everyone that approximately 25 KU friends came in for Joes wake and funeral. Tey brought pictures and made posters at our home. Each of them embraced Joes brothers, his dad, and myself, and shared with all of us their fond memories of Joe. Tey too are grieving the loss of Joe, their friend and brother. Our family was overwhelmed by the love, sensitivity and dear expressions of kindness shown to us by Joes KU friends. Tey helped us to get to know the KU side of Joe better. Teir willingness to help us whether it was cleaning up, making posters, sharing memories, crying with us or giving us all a lot of hugs and kisses, was so amazing I cant even put it into words. I wish I could tell each of their parents what wonderful children they have. Tey can be extremely proud of their chil- dren for their warmth and lov- ing sensitivity. I can certainly understand why Joe loved them all so very much. KU can be proud to have these young people at their school. I think Joe would want all his friends from home and KU to take pride in their schoolwork, take time to enjoy each other and their lives, and remember that those little acts of kindness and a simple smile can mean so much. I along with my husband, John, and our children, Jef and Dan, want to thank Joes KU friends from the bottom of our hearts for all that they did and continue to do for us and for the time they spent with us last week. Tey are truly Beautiful Human Beings. Cecile Petermann (Josephs mother) LETTER TO THE EDITOR BY JACK WEINSTEIN jweinstein@kansan.com KANSAN STAFF WRITER It only took 45 minutes to trust Joe Petermann, over the phone and well enough for Julie Sommerhauser to agree to let Petermann live with her.

Sommerhausers landlord recommended Petermann, a former ten- ant, to her. Petermann and Sommerhauser spoke on the phone and he moved in a week later. Tats just the kind of person he was, Som- merhauser said, Teres an electricity he gives of. I liked him immediately. Petermann, Arlington Heights, Ill., senior passed away May 28 at his parents home in the Chicago suburb. He was going to take classes this summer. Dave Maul, St. Louis senior and Petermanns best friend, said that Petermann was the type of guy that met diferent people all the time. He could walk into a party by himself and go up to a complete stranger and start a conversation, Maul said. He could make friends with anyone. Sommerhauser said Petermann made friends without trying, She described a time at Abe and Jakes Landing when Petermann approached a group of KU basketball players to get them to buy him a drink. We thought theyd think he was a loser and tell him to leave them alone, Sommerhauser said. He just went over there with his wide smile and the next thing we knew, they were buying his drinks. Sommerhauser said Petermann was always smiling. Petermann was an avid sports fan, especially of KU sports and the Chicago White Sox. He also enjoyed playing poker with friends and at the ca- sinos. He would go to the casinos in Kansas City, Mo., afer class if he felt like it. He once played poker with Sommerhauser us- ing crayons as chips because she didnt want to lose any money. He wanted me to be a part of his life, and for me to do that, he didnt make me play for real money, Sommerhauser said. Hed conform to me. She went on to say that Petermann never forced anyone to do what they didnt want to do whether it was going out on a school night or playing cards for money. He adapted to his friends. Maul described Petermann, a psychology ma- jor, as the party guy who always got good grades, maintaining a 4.0 GPA last semester. Sommerhauser said Petermann really enjoyed his classes and that psychology came naturally to him. Petermann never went to the library, but sat with a book on the couch. Even with his success in college, he never spoke about the future with his friends. He didnt have any goals to be rich, Sommer- hauser said. He just lived life, He really did live life to the fullest and he only lived to be 21, He did everything he wanted to do. Funeral services were held on June 1, in Arling- ton Heights, Ill. Maul said about 20 of Petermanns friends from KU and about 10 from Chicago at- tended the service.

Tat didnt stall the fun for the rest of the fes- tival though. Vehicles jammed the two-lane street all the way from Wakarusa Boulevard to the festivals entrance, taking up to fve hours to move through it all. People stepped out of their cars to pass the time by playing Hacky Sack, throwing footballs and Frisbees, riding long-boards down the deserted eastbound lane, drink- ing beer and anything else they could to distract them from the trying situation. Nate Stedman, Overland Park junior, sat on the streets curb, taking in the hot sun with a cold beer in his hand, some- thing he called a necessity. Im just dealing with it, he said. I knew there would be a wait, not this long though. Meghan McRilhey from Boulder, Colo., said the trafc made sense based on her previous experiences. Its typical of any festival, she said. I have friends whove waited up to 32 hours to get in. Nearly everyone kept a good attitude, even the ones having extra trouble with the trafc, like Dave Mills from Neder- land, Colo. His car stalled at the foot of a hill, so he had to gather people to help push his car when the line moved. Mills didnt complain, except about the heat. Its hot, he said, but not too bad. Cole Pranger from Fayetteville, Ark., was one of the people who helped Mills push the car. He said he did it in the spirit of the festival. Wakarusa is all about helping people, he said. Other stories of strife include one from Al Sullivan, a Toledo, Ohio, resident. She was near the front of the line with her friends when their cars gas gauge passed the empty line. She was forced to walk with a gas can to the gas station on the corner of Wakarusa Boulevard and Clin- ton Parkway, flling it up at the station. Te walk wasnt too bad, she said. At least Ive got a cigarette, but its damn hot out here. Although the wait was slightly enjoy- able for many, it was enduring for Jef Simcox and his daughter Elise from Lock- port, Ill. I demand that your chief of police get fred, Simcox said jokingly. Wrigley Field holds 38,000 people and you can be in and out in 30 minutes. With all the Jay- hawk games, this town should be use to crowds like this. Te two were frustrated with the wait because they arrived at 11 a.m. Tey said they thought there would be plenty of time to set up camp and see one of their favorite bands, Wood Box Gang, which took the stage about fve and half hours later. Tey said they werent sure whether they would make it. Tank God I peed at Wal-Mart be- fore I came, he said. As much of a party as the trafc jammed seemed to be, it was merely a mild get-together compared to the atmo- sphere inside the festival. Te great thing is you can camp out as much as you want and see shows when- ever you want, theres always something going on, Brandon Schafer, Hays junior, said. It was nutty. One of the most popular spots of the fes- tival was shakedown street, where vendors set up their shops. Schafer said it was also a popular spot for drug deals. Wakarusa is the easiest time to get any- thing you want drug wise, he said. He said people would come up to him as he walked through the grounds and of- fer him doses, chocolates, x and nuggets, euphemisms for acid, mushrooms, ecstacy and marijuana. Even though he saw police ofcers, one time with night vision goggles, he was not discouraged from smoking mar- ijuana wherever and whenever he wanted to. I still had a solid time and had no prob- lems with the law enforcement, maybe its because Im not a hippie, Schafer said. As for the music, Schafer said they love to jam, you couldnt help not to dance.

FEaturE wednesday, june 14, 2006 the university daily kansan 9 By james foley editor@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Tursday at sundown we arrived at camp. Near the treeline of the intersection of Crazy Lane and Fourth streets at Campground One were two familiar cars and several tents. Earlier in the day, our friends waited in a queue of cars for seven hours to stake our claim on the vast feld of withered grass and dirt. Cars from as far as New Jersey formed a grid of makeshif road- ways. Anyone from a solo festivalgoer in a pup tent next to a Subaru Outback, to a fock of hippies com- plete with Volkswagon busses huddled under crudely constructed sunshades, composed the thousands of campsites at the Wakarusa Music Festival. Music coming from surrounding campsites was slightly drowned out by the distant sounds from stages that were blocks away. As some people slept in prepa- ration for a long next day, others roamed the camp- ground selling a vast array of drugs to plenty of eager and experienced buyers. Occasionally freworks or a wild scream pierced air and brought the masses to at- tention. Tis happened all weekend long. Its a way of life for some people. An entire subculture dedicated to traveling from festival to festival for as much of the year as they can. Aged hippies from generations past mingle with a new breed of youth who embrace the lifestyle with ev- ery penny of their disposable incomes. Everyone is there for one reason; to have fun. Tere is no better excuse to go camping with your friends. Te atmosphere bursts with energy and beams of love. Tousands and thousands of people, many of them drinking excessively or ex- perimenting with mind-blowing cocktails of drugs living a relatively safe and orderly environment. Its amazing chaos doesnt break loose on the hour. But with so many people trying to live outside for four days without all the accommodations of modern society, it gets messy. One of the worst things about festivals are the piles of trash we leave behind. When a show ends everyone gets up and leaves, not always tak- ing with them what they brought, expecting someone else to clean up their mess. Te number of cigarette butts littering the ground rivals the number of stars in the sky. Why are we OK with this? Something with such magnifcent drawing power as a music festival should take it upon it- self to spread a message of environmental aware- ness. If we keep mindlessly trashing our planet, we wont be having music festivals for much longer. I cant say Im innocent of absentmindedly littering, but I try hard not to. I pocket my cigarette butts. Music festivals are growing bigger and bigger every year. And as they grow it would be wise to do more to encourage environmental stewardship, and conditioning festivalgoers to be more aware of the impact we all have on our environment. If everybody were to make a point just to clean up their own mess, wed be on the right path. We can keep having these wonderful, crazy events for years to come if we keep one thing in mind: leave only your footprints. Foley is a Little Rock, Ark., graduate By Tom slaughTer tslaughter@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Tey called it Shakedown Street. A block- long Wakarusa Music Festival homage to the Grateful Dead, where vendors were peddling to- bacco pipes and purses; some were selling prod- ucts of another variety. At frst glance, it wouldnt seem like the most family-friendly venue. Yet tucked away in the farthest parking lot west, somewhere between Stage 3 and Topeka, were families using skewers and playing Fris- bee, enduring four days of Kansas heat while trying to spend some quality time with the family. Marsha and Tony Nicholson arrived early Fri- day morning from Chicago, with their 2-year old daughter Tia. Tis was their frst time attending the festival. Tey sold iced cofee out of their tent, and went into Lawrence to soak up the atmo- sphere. Tey said that the festival designated an area specifcally for families. God has provided us with a pleasant ex- perience so far, Tony said. Jason and Allison Meredith, of Des Moines, Iowa, traveled for almost four hours with their children. Jason said that he had attended various music festivals, and Wakarusa did a good job of accommodating for families. Te family camping area had its own bath- room and water area. Buses from the venue gates to the campground ran around the clock. While the families were secluded from the venue, it was still possible to hear noise from the stages. Ed Pul- ver, who was there with his wife Diana to see the show with their grandchildren, said the overall operation could have done a better job of keeping families and the rest of the fans separated. Tey said that families in the camping area were inter- acting with one another, and that their grandchil- dren had become friendly with children of other families. Despite the carnival nature of the festival and the drug culture that surrounds it, fami- lies didnt express major worries about their children being tainted by the atmosphere. Sometimes I worry about people that are mean or bigoted, Mary McNamara said. She said that most fans werent overt about their drug use, and her children were young enough that they werent completely aware of the drugs. t look insidE Keep eyes, minds open family fun for everyone t Wakarusa wakarusa festival Heres a look at what went on at Clinton State Lake from June 8-11 at the Wakarusa Music Festival Anna Faltermeier/KANSAN (right) Wakarusa attendees groove to the band Bernie Worrell and The Woo Warriors on Saturday after- noon.

All the way from San Diego, Calif., Rosendahl drove to Lawrence for the Wakarusa Music Festival. Not only did he come to take part in the festivities, but Rosendahl sells rocks, gems and jewelry across the nation. He said he constantly attends gem and min- eral shows, along with concert festivals such as Wakarusa. Rosendahl became passionate about rocks and gems when someone gave him his frst crystal when he was 18 years old. From then on, he said he was hooked. He started collecting rocks and gems, and flled many cardboard boxes with them. He didnt know what to do with all of his rocks and gems, but soon knew the answer. Sell them, Rosendahl said. Its like fnding homes for puppies. Rosendahl started his rock business in a parking lot, selling directly out of a brief- case. Now, he constantly travels with Car- rie whose last name he asked to keep anonymous selling his rocks and gems, and her jewelry. Rosendahl said he likes the theory of a frst-name basis, instead of a last name. He compared his theory to those who dont use a last name, such as Madonna. He thinks its a common theory among festival goers. Most people dont use last names be- cause it shows lineage. We dont care where people come from, Rosendahl said. In addition to collecting and selling rocks and gems, he makes his own jewel- ry. Rosendahl uses a peyote stitch, which creates a fat piece of bead work, for all of his jewelry. He wears his jewelry around his dreadlocks, which he has had for nine and a half years. Hanging inside of his tent were blue, white, red, green and yellow fags, known as prayer Tibetan Flags. Te same San- skrit, an ancient Indic language, of prayers for peace is printed on each fag. Te theory behind the fags is as their threads fall apart, the wind takes them away and a persons prayers come true. Rosendahl says he doesnt wholly believe in one religion, but takes diferent things from each of them. However, there is one thing that he doesnt agree with, and that is the cross. He said he would rather remem- ber Christ as a teacher and not a martyr who was killed. I dont remember Bob Marley as an infected foot, why would I want to re- member Christ with death, he said. Rosendahls rock, gem and jewelry collection contains various pieces from around the world. His prices range from 25 cents to $1,000. All are made of diferent materials, with diferent shapes and sizes. Te cobalt calcite stone normally changes from a gray color to blue when the stone absorbs light, however Rosend- ahl had a few that turned a Barbie Pink instead, for unknown reasons. Tats what I like about rocks. If you dont know what it is, then its just a rock, but when you fnd out, youre like whoa! Tats cool.

To become an All-American, one must fnish in the top eight or among the top eight American competitors in their respective events. Seniors Shel- don Battle, Charisse Bacchus, Cameron Schwehr and Denita Young and sophomores Egor Agafonov and Paul Heferon did exactly that. Overall, we did very well, Bacchus said. People did things they werent ex- pected to do. It shows that hard work pays of. Battle became an All- American for the sixth time by qualifying in shot put, ham- mer throw and weight throw at diferent points through out his two-year career at KU. His throw of 64 feet 9 1/4 inches in the shot put placed him ffh in this years outdoor champion- ships. Battle became an All- American in both the shot put and the weight throw at last springs NCAA indoor cham- pionships in Fayetteville, Ark. Bacchus became a two- time All-American last weekend when she fnished seventh in the womens long jump fnals with a jump of 20 feet 8 inches. Her prelim- inary jump of 21 feet 6 1/4 inches was a personal best. I felt that there were big- ger things to come, but then I got injured, Bacchus said referring to an injury she suf- fered on her third jump in the fnals. She could not com- plete her last three jumps. Bacchus earned All-Amer- ica status this past spring at the indoor championships. Schwehr missed qualifying for the fnals in the 1,500 meter run, but became an All-Amer- ica by fnishing among the top eight Americans. His time of 3:45.16 placed him in 13th place, .08 seconds from quali- fying for the fnals. He is an All- American for the frst time. Young concluded her career at KU as an All-American with a throw of 158 feet 7 inches in the javelin. Tis honor was the second for Young, her frst coming at the 2001 outdoor championships as a member of the University of Tennessee Track and Field Team. Heferon became an All- American for the fst time. He placed 14th in the fnals of the 5,000 meter with a time of 14:28.37. Heferon qualifed as one of the top eight Americans in that feld. Its an honor, but in all honesty, its not quite the thrill I thought it would be, maybe it hasnt sunk in yet, Heferon said. I hold myself to a really high standard, I thought of a million things I could have done better afer the race. Agafonov became a two- time All-American in only his frst season on the KU track team when he fnished ffh in the hammer throw with a toss of 219 feet 3 inches. Aga- fonov earned All-America honors afer fnishing second in the weight throw at the in- door championships this past spring. Juniors Josh Kirk, Abby Emsick and Cody Roberts and Freshman Zlata Tarasova com- peted at the outdoor champi- onships, but did not qualify for All-America status. Kirk was forced to pull out of the mens decathlon afer reaggravating a foot injury. Emsick and Roberts both fnished out of contention in the discus. Tarasova did not qualify for the fnals in the womens hammer throw. Te KU mens team fn- ished tied for 30th place while the womens team fn- ished in a tie for 64th. Flor- ida State captured the mens team title while Auburn fn- ished frst for the womens team title.

Last years tournament was in Dallas and this seasons tournament will be in Oklahoma City. Kansas City was the permanent home for the Big 8 Conference tournaments before it expand- ed to the Big 12 afer the 1996 season. It was the host for the frst six Big 12 tournaments. Many in Kansas City and Lawrence are pleased to see the tournament return to the area. Kansas City Mayor Kay Barnes is among the supporters. Im very excited about the Big 12 tournament returning to Kansas City in 2008, Barnes said by phone from her ofce in Kansas City. Its going to be great to have the women and men playing at wonderful arenas within easy walking distance from one another with a great entertainment district in between. Its going to be a terrifc Big 12 festival. Jim Marchiony, Kansas associate athletics director, said the athletics department is delighted the tourna- ments are returning to Kansas City. He also said the department thought that Kansas City should be the permanent home for the conference tournament. I think if you polled the coaches in the league, they would tell you the same, Marchio- ny said. Kansas City is a terrifc site for the Big 12, Te fan support is great, the city really gets behind the tournament. Dallas was a good host city, but there wasnt as much fan support. Bob Burda, associate Big 12 conference commis- sioner, echoed similar sentiments to Marchionys. Dallas is a pro-sports market, Burda said. Teres no rich history of hosting collegiate athletic events. Kansas City has a rich tradition of hosting big time college events. Burda said making Kansas City the permanent home for the Big 12 tournament was a possibility. Te conference will take a wait-and-see attitude until afer the tournament to gauge how the new Sprint Center holds the event. Conference athletics directors and university presidents would then vote on whether to make Kansas City the permanent location. Te tournament can economically beneft the city in which its held, because of revenue produced in hotels and restaurants by people from areas outside of Kansas City. A spokesperson from the mayors ofce said he thought that the tournament made a $15 million impact on the local economy. Te mens tournament will be held at the Sprint Center, scheduled to open in October 2007. Te women will play at Municipal Auditorium.

Te boys, rang- ing in age from 8 to 19, listened to Self speak about having a good time and following the rules. Self s annual summer camp, kicked of Sunday and runs through Tursday at 16 gyms throughout Lawrence. Even though the campers can require as much efort to coach as his Jayhawks, he said both were easy. Te challenges with some young campers is they want to try to do whats right, but physically they cant quite do it yet, Self said. Te chal- lenge with our players is that they can do it, but sometimes they wont do it the exact way a coach would expect them to do it, For one week, Id say the campers are easier to coach, but if you had the campers for a whole year, you may change your mind about that. Junior guard Russell Robinson said the campers were receptive to what the players had to say. Teyre big fans, they listen, they watch us all the time and whenever they get a chance to ac- tually see us and communicate with us, its good, Robinson said, Teyre open, Some kids their age think they know it all, but theyre open to what we have to say and they respond well to us. Self said desire was a big part of why the kids were there. Te reason kids come to camp is they want to be around ball, Self said. Hopefully they want to be coached and be corrected. Asked to describe his teaching style with the campers, Sophomore forward Julian Wright said his style had two sides. I kind of have a balance between be- ing serious and joking with the kids, Wright said, You cant be too serious, sometimes kids wont listen, If you joke too much they wont take you serious- ly, I think thats key in terms of helping kids out, You try to have a little fun, laugh, crack a joke or two, but also be serious when its time to be serious. A fan favorite, Wright gets spe- cials requests from the campers, Everyone wants me to do a 360 dunk, he said. Wright said he enjoyed both put- ting on a show for the kids and helping them become better basketball players. Wright said he enjoyed working with the campers. I like it, he said. Its a chance to give back and give advice. Edited by Adrienne Bommarito As Ive watched the NBA play- ofs, six months and counting, I got to thinking about the prospects of an NBA franchise coming to Kansas City, Mo. Ten, afer talking with my Rus- sian friend, Drago Gorbachev, about the NHL playofs, the notion of an NHL franchise crept into my mind. Te reason Im pondering another professional franchise making its way to the City of Fountains is because of the Sprint Center. Te Sprint Cen- ter, is expected to revitalize Kansas City. Te Big Fone, a nickname sure to take of, will almost certainly bring a new team to the area. Its unlikely that a team will be in place by the time the Big Fone opens in the Fall of 2007, but one will come. So thats why I along with my friend Drago will fgure out what is the best choice for the Kansas City Metro area. I think by 2020, according to some mad social scientist Hugh Downs, Lawrence will be a part of the Kansas City Metro. Ill cut right to the chase, Im a hoops guy. I love college basketball, I really like the NBA and Im in a WNBA fantasy league. (Te We Love Kendra Weck- ers are struggling right now). Im all for the NBA calling Kansas City home again. Again? For those of you born post-1985, the Kings resided in K.C. for 13 years before moving to Sac-Town. My boy Drago though, well, if you couldnt already tell by the name, ste- reotypes be damned, hes a hockey guy. In his Eastern European drawl, he tells me, Fred, vat are you tink- ing? Ze NHL vould crush de NBA! In a one-on-one fst fght, sure, maybe. But I think the entourage factor gives the NBA a slight edge. While NHL tough guy Tie Domi may knock out Detroit Pistons strongman Ben Wallace initially, Bens barber, his 7th grade best friend and the woman who braids his hair brandishing a bag of nickels would fnally get the last laugh. COMBAT EDGE NBA. Drago says, Okay, okay, Ill geev dat to de hoopers, but de hockey players look better den de hoopers. No contest. When it comes to who looks better, its Communist Bloc ver- sus Hip-Hop. Missing Fronts versus Gold Fronts. Cold Streams versus Bling-Bling. Te NBA wins this in a landslide. With the NBAs new dress code, players looked sharp while still maintaining that urban vibe. Hockey players, sure some of them dress nice, but missing teeth? Grills may not be for everybody, but at least theyre some- thing. APPEARANCE EDGE NBA Drago is very disheartened afer los- ing that argument. His once proud, I just killed Apollo Creed moment is now swinging wildly as he looks for any edge the NHL might have. Wearily, he mumbles, Ze hockey iz for everybody, ze people here in de Midvest vill love ze game and its speed and action, no? Okay, Drago, Ill give you that. Te speed and action of hockey is unlike any other sport. Guys fying around on skates a la Nancy Kerrigan, pre-Jef Gilooly, smashing each other into the boards and the fghts. Yes, the fghts. No team sport has fghts. Actually Te NBA does have fghts. Tough they not only fght each other in the NBA, they fght the fans. Youre sit- ting in the Big Fone and you get this unmistakable urge to pelt Kobe Bry- ant with a hot dog. Imagine the melee that would ensue. Of course youd get your brains beat out, but youd be all over SportsCenter. Hockey cant say that. Drago is now ecstatic about the idea of the NBA coming to Kansas City, and so am I.

Kansas baseball has been so bad for the last 10 years, if I was a person that decided the polls, I wouldnt put us up there either, Baty said. non-conference schedule Kansas non-conference schedule included fve teams that reached the NCAA tournament in 2005 Stan- ford, Southern California, Clemson, Wichita State and Creighton. Stanford was the frst of these fve that Kansas faced and the Jayhawks took the se- ries, winning the frst two games of the three-game set. Senior outfelder Gus Milner and se- nior closer Don Czyz were recognized for their eforts in the series. Milner was named Co-National Player of the Week by CollegiateBaseballInsider.com and Big 12 Player of the Week, while Czyz was named Big 12 Pitcher of the week. Overall, Kansas went 5-5 against non-conference opponents that reached the 2005 NCAA tournament. In ad- dition, fve of Kansas non-conference foes Clemson, Vanderbilt, San Diego, Wichita State and Stanford reached the NCAA tournament in 2006. Clem- son was the overall No. 1 seed and is in the College World Series in Omaha, Neb. Kansas went 6-5 against non-con- ference opponents that reached this years NCAA tournament. conference schedule Kansas began conference play against three of the fve Big 12 teams that reached the 2005 NCAA tour- nament Baylor, Nebraska and Mis- souri in consecutive weekends. Kansas went 1-4 in its frst fve Big 12 games, but a victory in the fnal game of the Nebraska series gave the team mo- mentum that it carried throughout the remainder of the season. Beginning with that victory, Kansas went 8-5 in its next 13 conference games and 15-6 overall. Te Jayhawks then hit a roadblock that threatened to end their season prematurely. Te next two weekends, Kansas faced the two remaining Big 12 teams that reached the 2005 NCAA tournament Oklahoma and Texas. Kansas salvaged the Oklahoma series with a Sunday victory, but was swept by Texas. In the Jayhawk Classic the fol- lowing weekend, Kansas lost back-to- back games to Northern Colorado. Kansas completed the regular sea- son strong at home, though, sweep- ing Texas A&M in three games. Afer facing six Big 12 teams that would make the 2006 NCAA tournament, the Jayhawks headed into the Big 12 Championship tournament with a full head of steam. big 12 chamPionshiP Te Jayhawks opened the tour- nament with a 7-2 victory against the Sooners and moved on to beat Oklahoma State 11-6. With a trip to the championship game on the line, Kansas took on Missouri next, which was also 2-0 in the tournament. Te Jayhawks overcame a late-in- ning surge by the Tigers to win 4-3 and prepared to play Nebraska for the Big 12 Championship. Kansas dominated Nebraska for most of the game behind the strong pitching of freshman lefy Nick Czyz and led 8-2 at one point. Nick allowed only three hits in 5.1 innings, but his older brother Don had to come in with Nebraska threatening to steal the victory. As hed done all season, Don sealed the 9-7 victory for Kansas with a save. Baty earned Big 12 Championship Tournament MVP honors afer hit- ting .421 with two home runs, three RBI and fve runs. Sophomores Erik Morrison and Ryne Price were named to the All-Tournament team along with Baty. It was pretty awesome because, with my injury, I was told that I wasnt going to be playing at all the rest of the year, said Baty, who sufered a lacerated spleen and kidney in Kan- sas fourth weekend of action. To be able to come back and be player of the tournament, thats just an unbeliev- able accomplishment. But its not an individual award, its a KU baseball award. ncaa tournament Kansas was rewarded for its Big 12 title with a No. 2 seed in the Corval- lis Regional, hosted by Oregon State, and the Jayhawks headed into their frst NCAA regional in 12 years on a seven-game win streak. Hawaii was the frst opponent Kansas faced in the regional and the Jayhawks pulled themselves out of an early 5-0 hole to win 9-6. Senior infelder Jared Schweitzer led the Jayhawks on ofense, hitting for the cycle, and Czyz came in to record his NCAA-leading 19th save. Te victory would be Kansas only of the regional as it fell to Oregon State in its next game 11-3 and in a rematch with Hawaii 9-5. Schweitzer was named to the Corvallis All-Re- gional Team afer batting .583 with two home runs, four runs and four RBI. Oregon State ultimately won the regional and is in the College World Series. Kansas (43-25) ended the 2006 season with the second-most wins in school history and put itself back on the national scene for the frst time in more than a decade. I always dreamed of being a part of something special, Baty said. Tats the reason why I chose KU. Postseason Even with its 2006 season in the books, Kansas continued to make headlines. Don Czyz, whose 19 saves are still the most in the nation, was rec- ognized as a Louisville Slugger First Team All-American, a College Base- ball Foundation All-American and the NCBWA Stopper of the Year. Hes a great young man and hes worked his tail of, coach Price said. I really believe that if he stays healthy, hell pitch in the big leagues some day. Don Czyz, junior lef-hander Sean Land, Milner, senior shortstop Ritchie Price, Schweitzer and senior right- hander Kodiak Quick were all selected in the 2006 MLB Amateur Draf and senior right-hander Ricky Fairchild was signed to a free agent contract. To have seven players sign pro contracts in a year which is the most in school history I think it makes a statement that Kansas is on the rise and were a legitimate Top 25 program, coach Price said. When it came All-Big 12 selection time, six Jayhawks received recogni- tion. Czyz and Schweitzer were named All-Big 12 First Team. Milner, Ritchie Price and sophomore outfelder John Allman were named All-Big 12 Sec- ond Team. Quick was an All-Big 12 Honorable Mention. Edited by Erick R.
