Mark Gottschall had been searching
the Internet for years for the album
Beautiful People, which he helped
make in 1972 in Spain. But each time,
Gottschall received no relevant results.
In October 2007, Gottschall, supervi-
sor of the journalism resource center,
realized he should have been search-
ing for the albums title in Spanish:
Maravillosa Gente.
Searching for the translation of the
name made all the difference. Gottschall
found a link that said the album was to
be re-released on CD, and that the pro-
duction company, Guerssen Records, was
looking for him.
It was just fate that made me Google
it that day. If I had not, I would never
have known about the re-issue. Talk
about luck, Gottschall said.
Guerssen Records couldnt find Bill
Quick, who was the main artist on the
album, so they needed Gottschall to
write the liner notes for the CD. After 35
years, Gottschalls dream of being on a
major record was finally coming true.
I felt sort of vindicated that people
would finally get to hear what I could
do, Gottschall said.
In 1971, Gottschall dropped out of col-
lege and decided to travel across Europe.
Being a guitar player, he knew he would
need to learn to play a more unusual
instrument to stand
out. So he bought a
banjo, a banjo begin-
ners book and trav-
eled to Spain.
One day, when
Gottschall was play-
ing his banjo in a
park, a man joined
him with a guitar. The
man said he would
introduce Gottschall
to Bill Quick, who
was making an
album, under one condition Gottschall
had to promise he would not ask Quick if
he could be on his album. The man said
every artist he knew, including himself,
had asked Quick to be on the album and
Quick was tired of being asked.
As soon as we knocked on the door,
Bill said in English, Is that a banjo? I
said, Yes. He said, Far out man. Do you
wanna be on my album? which I thought
was pretty funny because the other guy
told me not to ask if I could be on his
album, Gottschall said.
The record was being recorded at
Explosion studio, in Madrid, Spain.
Gottschall said Explosion was the big-
gest recording studio he had ever seen,
and would later find out it was one of
the best recording studios in Europe at
that time.
From the time I walked into that
studio I knew there was magic there,
Gottschall said. There was magic in
Bills songs. It was just a magical, magi-
cal time.
Gottschall said halfway through the
first song one of the producers told him
the harmony he was playing was not
what they were looking for and asked
him to play a different one. At that time
Gottschall still knew only one song from
the banjo book.
I went from thinking Im going to
be on this cool recording, to thinking
Im gonna get fired because this is all I
know, Gottschall said.
Gottschall then excused himself from
the room. As he was strumming on his
banjo, contemplating his predicament,
the producer walked by.
He said, Thats it. Thats what I want,
so it made it easy, Gottschall said.
From that day on, Gottschall and
Quick were close friends. On Sundays
they would go to the flea market in
Madrid and sell the
belts Quick made.
Afterward, they would
return to Quicks
apartment to sing and
play music together.
Gottschall said that
his and Quicks voices
blended together so
well that Quick asked
him to sing harmony
on the CD with him,
play the acoustic gui-
tar on several tracks and add a track of
his own to the CD. Gottschalls track is
called Youre not listening.
Gottschall was also asked to write lyr-
ics to a track Quick had written about
the flea market. Quick wanted to call it
Beautiful People. Gottschall said origi-
nally the title song was supposed to
be Take me Away, but that Beautiful
People replaced it.
Gottschall said when he began work-
ing on the album it was similar to
Santanas pop music. However, Gottschall
said the producer
thought he and Quick
sounded like Simon
and Garfunkel, so
many of the tracks on
the album morphed
into psychedelic folk
songs.
Gottschall said he
and Quick were even
interviewed on one of
Madrids most famous
FM stations, where
they performed two songs live.
Because Quicks name was on the
album deal, Gottschall did not receive
credit for writing the songs. However,
Alain Milhaud, one of the producers,
offered he and Quick a record deal when
the album was finished.
I turned down the deal and Ive been
kicking myself every since, Gottschall
said.
Gottschall said he turned down the
offer because he missed his girlfriend,
Jayne, who was still living in Austin. He
said at the time he thought that if he was
a good enough musician to receive a
record deal in Europe, that he could get
one in the U.S. as well.
Gottschall has tried to contact
Milhaud several times since then, with
no success. He said Milhaud was one of
the most prominent European producers
at the time. Gotschall has not heard from
Quick either since
1997. Gottschall said
he was the last known
person to have heard
from Quick.
Kelly Clark, an
Overland Park senior
who works in the
resource center, said
when she found out
about Gottschalls
newly acquired fame,
she told him he should
go on tour. Clark said that after listening
to the CD she was surprised at how cur-
rent the music sounded.
Its something I think wont ever go
out of style, Clark said.
Though Gottschalls music career
never skyrocketed like he had hoped, his
personal life turned out well. Gottschall
eventually married Jayne, though they
later divorced.
Jayne said Gottschalls story did not
surprise her because he had always lived
a colorful life. She said she was happy he
returned because she knew enough about
the music business to know that nothing
is certain, no matter how good Milhaud
may have made the deal sound.
Jayne said that Quick visited her and
Mark in Austin several times, and that
he was very nice and always brought
her gifts. One time Quick brought her a
beautiful shawl from Spain, and another
time he brought her earrings he had
made himself.
Jayne said she was very interested to
see if the re-release would draw Quick
out of hiding.
He was offbeat enough that Im not
surprised that nobody really knows
where he is now, she said. I hope hes
okay, because were all getting older.
Gottschall played as a professional
musician in Austin for 25 years before
moving to Lawrence. Occasionally
Gottschall performs downtown. He has
also made a CD of his own.
Gotschalls three children, Gino, Mike
and Mandi are all musically inclined as
well. Gino owns a music store in Austin
and Mike has a music MySpace page.
Mandi, who plays the guitar, said she
hoped to make a CD with her father in
the future.

Performing CPR pays for
Navy medics towing bill
JACKSON, Mich. A Navy medic
is being reimbursed for a $60
towing bill he received while he
was helping perform CPR on a
heart attack victim.
Jackson County Undersherif
Tom Finco said the department
was paying back Hospital Corps-
man 3rd Class Tim Moore as a
goodwill gesture.
(Moore) said it wasnt neces-
sary, he understood, but we sent
him a check anyway, Finco said.
Moore, 24, who had just
returned from Iraq, was driving
on Interstate 94 on April 2 when
he saw an ambulance parked
on the side. He pulled over and
comforted a woman whose fanc
had sufered a heart attack inside
the ambulance.
When the rescuers learned of
Moores medical training, they
asked if he would help administer
CPR. He left his truck on the exit
ramp and got in. The man died at
Foote Hospital in Jackson.
In the meantime, Moores truck
parked partly over the white
line marking the side of the road
was deemed a travel hazard
and towed.
Moore, now stationed at
Camp Lejeune, N.C., said people
have been sending checks to his
parents after word spread about
the towing bill, but he plans to
donate that money to veterans
charities.
Boy to blow up balloons

BLAINE, Wash. A 13-year-old

Blowing through one nostril at
a time, Andrew Dahl infated 213
balloons within an hour Friday
a feat that has been submit-
ted for review by Guinness World
Records.
His father, Doug Dahl, mea-
sured the balloons to make sure
each was at least 20 centimeters,
the minimum diameter, and his
mother, Wendy Dahl, kept the
tally.
At one point he asked, Does
this count as practicing my trum-
pet? His mother replied, Only
if you can play that with your
nose.
Computer programmer
proposes with video game
JERSEY CITY, N.J. Hiding
a ring in a bouquet just wasnt

programmer decided to pop the
question.
Bernie Peng reprogrammed
Tammy Lis favorite video game,
Bejeweled, so a ring and a mar-
riage proposal would show up on
the screen when she reached a
certain score.
Li reached the needed score
and said yes.
The word of the romantic feat
last December fltered out after
Peng, a fnancial software pro-
grammer, posted details on his
blog. The reprogramming was a
tricky task and took him a month.
I thought it was pretty cool, in
a nerdy way, Peng told The Star-
Ledger of Newark.
The couple plan to marry over
Labor Day weekend, and PopCap,
the Seattle company that makes
Bejeweled, will fy the couple to
Seattle as part of their honey-
moon.
Most video game compa-
nies would frown on people
manipulating their games, said
Garth Chouteau, a spokesman for
PopCap.
But it won him a woman. As
a bunch of geeks we have to say,
Bernie, hats of to you.
The company is also sup-
plying copies of Bejeweled to
hand out as favors to the wed-

The American Cancer Society
is sponsoring the annual Relay for
Life to help raise awareness and
money for cancer research.
The society will recruit teams
until the event starts on May 2.
Stacie Schroeder, community
manager-development for the
American Cancer Society, said the
teams were trying to raise more
money to meet the $80,000 goal.
According to the Relays Web
site, there are 291 participants
and 36 teams at the University of
Kansas so far.
The Web site also said that the
teams had raised about $7,984.
Schroeder said that they were
working on getting survivors to
speak at the event.
Laura Kelly, a Stage 3 non-
Hodgkins T-cell Lymphoma sur-
vivor, will be the speaker at the
opening ceremony on May 2. She
was diagnosed with cancer when
she was 14, but will be cancer-free
for four years this August.
Its a cause thats close to my
heart, Kelly said.
Kelly, a Lenexa sophomore, first
got involved with the American
Cancer Society and the Relay for
Life when she was going through
chemotherapy her sophomore year
of high school.
She participated in the Relay her
sophomore year, not really knowing
what to expect. The event ended up
being life-changing.
It was one of the most moving
experiences ever, Kelly said.
After that, she was the survi-
vor chairwoman for the Relay her
junior year, and co-chairwoman of
the whole event at her high school
her senior year.
Last year, she helped recruit
people to participate, but was not
able to serve on the committee this
year because of school and work
conflicts. Kelly still wanted to par-
ticipate, though.
I thought this would a fun
opportunity, Kelly said.
Cancer survivors and other peo-
ple who want to help can partici-
pate in the Relay by signing up at
http://events.cancer.org/rflkuks.
The Relay will begin at 6 p.m. on
May 2 at Memorial Stadium.

PARIS In image-conscious
France, it may soon be a crime
to glamorize the ultra-thin. A
new French bill cracks down on
Web sites that advise anorexics
on how to starve and could
be used to hit fashion industry
heavyweights, too.
The groundbreaking bill,
adopted Tuesday by Parliaments
lower house, recommends fines
of up to $71,000 and three-year
prison sentences for offenders
who encourage extreme thin-
ness. It goes to the Senate in the
coming weeks.
Critics said the bill is too
vague about whom it is targeting
and doesnt even clearly define
extreme thinness.
If passed, the law would be the
strongest of its kind anywhere,
fashion industry experts said. It
is the latest measure proposed
after the 2006 anorexia-linked
death of Brazilian model Ana
Carolina Reston prompted efforts
throughout the fashion industry
to address the health repercus-
sions of ultra-thin models.
Doctors and psychologists
treating patients with anorexia
nervosa a disorder character-
ized by an extreme fear of becom-
ing overweight welcomed the
French effort, but said anorexias
link with media images remains
hazy.
For the bills backers, the
message behind the measure is
important enough.
The bills author, conservative
French lawmaker Valery Boyer,
said she wanted to encourage
discussion about womens health
and body image. Health Minister
Roselyne Bachelot said Web sites
that encourage young girls to
starve should not be protected by
freedom of expression.
So-called pro-ana for pro-
anorexia sites and blogs have
flourished in the United States
and beyond, often hosted by ado-
lescents sharing stories of how
they deprive their bodies of nour-
ishment.
French lawmakers and fashion
industry members signed a non-
binding charter last week on pro-
moting healthier body images.
In 2007, Spain banned from cat-
walks models whose body mass-
to-height ratio is below 18.
Bill author Boyer said such
measures did not go far enough.
Her bill has focused attention
on pro-anorexia Web sites that
give advice on how to eat an apple
a day and nothing else.

Bill combats ultra-thin image
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Brazilian model Ana Carolina Reston participates in a fashion showin Belo Horizonte,
Brazil, in April 2005. The French parliaments lower house adopted a groundbreaking bill
Tuesday that would make it illegal for anyone including fashion magazines, advertisers
andWeb sites to publicly incite extreme thinness. Reston, a 21-year-old anorexic model
who weighed only 88 pounds, died Nov. 14, 2006, of generalized infection.

VIENNA, Austria Oil prices
rose to new heights Tuesday, surg-
ing to almost $114 a barrel after
the U.S. dollar fell and worries
mounted about the global oil sup-
ply.
A report from the International
Energy Agency said Russian oil
production dropped this year for
the first time in a decade. Crude
oil shipments along one U.S. pipe-
line were said to be moving below
capacity. And Italys ENI reported
a 5,000 barrel per day reduction in
production at one of its facilities
in Nigeria.
Light, sweet crude for May deliv-
ery on the New York Mercantile
Exchange rose as high as $113.66
a barrel by afternoon in Europe
before backing off. That was $1.45
above the previous record set last
week.
The contract closed at a record
settlement price of $111.76 a bar-
rel on Monday.
The recent run above $100 a
barrel has been largely attributed
to a steadily depreciating U.S. cur-
rency because a weakening dollar
prompts investors to seek a safe
haven in hard commodities such
as oil and gold.
Weve seen another swing down
in the U.S. dollar so I think we saw
short term traders go back into
oil as a hedge against the falling
dollar, said Mark Pervan, senior
commodity strategist at the ANZ
Bank in Melbourne, Australia.
Stephen Schork, in his Schork
Report, described the rush into
oil on the falling dollar as an auto-
matic reflex.
Traders on the Nymex saw
the dollar take another tumble,
so they did what they have been
conditioned to do when the dollar
falls, i.e. they bought crude oil,
he wrote.
Mondays news from the U.S.
banking company Wachovia
Corp. supported oil prices by
making the U.S. dollar less attrac-
tive, said Victor Shum, an energy
analyst with Purvin & Gertz in
Singapore.
Wachovia, the fourth largest
bank in the U.S., reported a hefty
first-quarter loss and cut its divi-
dend, and said it was forced to
seek a $7 billion cash injection to
make up for a poorly timed expan-
sion of its mortgage business.

ANDREWS AIR FORCE
BASE, Md. Pope Benedict XVI
arrived Tuesday in the United

and enthusiastic cheering, a warm
welcome that followed the pon-
tiff s candid admission hours ear-

On his first papal trip to the

spectators a two-handed wave as
he stepped off a special Alitalia
airliner that brought him from
Rome. Students from a local
Catholic school screamed ecstati-
cally when the saw the pontiff,
who shook hands with President
Bush, first lady Laura Bush and
their daughter, Jenna on the tar-
mac.
The pope and the president
left in a motorcade a few minutes
later.
On the flight to the United
States from Rome, Benedict
addressed the most painful issue
for the Roman Catholic Church
in America clergy sex abuse.
The U.S. church has paid out $2
billion in abuse costs since 1950,
most of that in just the last six
years.
It is a great suffering for the
church in the United States and
for the church in general and
for me personally that this could
happen, Benedict said. It is dif-
ficult for me to understand how it
was possible that priests betray in
this way their mission ... to these
children.
I am deeply ashamed, and we
will do what is possible so this
cannot happen again in the future,
the pope said
on the flight
from Rome to
Washington,
speaking in
English as he
r e s p o n d e d
to questions
s u b m i t t e d
by reporters
ahead of time.
B e n e d i c t
pledged that
p e d o p h i l e s
would not be priests in the
Catholic Church.
We will absolutely exclude
pedophiles from the sacred min-
istry, Benedict said. It is more
important to have good priests
than many priests. We will do
everything possible to heal this
wound.
The popes promise failed
to mollify advocates for abuse
victims, however. They said the
problem is not just molester
priests, but bishops and other
church authorities who have let
errant clergymen continue to
serve even after repeated allega-
tions.
Its easy and tempting to
continually focus on the pedo-
phile priests themselves, said
Peter Isely, a board member of
the Survivors Network of those
Abused by Priests. Its harder but
crucial to focus on the broader
problem complicity in the rest
of the church hierarchy.
Benedicts pilgrimage is the
first trip by a pontiff to the
United States since the case
of a serial molester in Boston
triggered a crisis that spread
throughout the United States and
beyond in 2002. Hundreds of
new accusations many dating
back decades have surfaced
each year since. There were 691
new accusations in 2007 alone,
according to an annual report
from the U.S. Conference of
Catholic Bishops.
As head of the Vatican agency
that enforces adherence to Catholic
doctrine, then-Cardinal Joseph
Ratzinger was heavily involved in
gaining Vatican approval for the
reforms U.S. bishops proposed for
the American church. The bishops
have since released several reports
analyzing the scandal and have
pledged that all credibly accused
priests will be pulled from public
ministry.
Pedophilia is absolutely incom-
patible with the priesthood,
Benedict said.
Benedict described his pilgrim-
age as a journey to meet a great
people and a great church. He
spoke about the American model
of religious values within a system
of separation of church and state.
President Bush made the unusu-
al gesture of greeting Benedict at
Andrews Air Force Base the
first time he has welcomed a for-
eign leader there.
The pope said he will discuss
immigration with Bush, including
the difficulties of families who are
separated by immigration.
While the pope and Bush dif-
fer on such major issues on the
Iraq war, capital punishment and
the U.S. embargo against Cuba,
they do find common ground
in opposing abortion, gay mar-
riage and embryonic stem cell
research.
White House press secretary
Dana Perino, asked about the
popes comments regarding the
clergy sex abuse scandal, said she
wouldnt rule
out that the
topic would
come up in
conversation
between the
pope and the
president.
But she
added that I
dont think
its neces-
sarily on the
pres i dent s
top priorities for his agenda in
talking with the pope.
Perino said the two leaders
would likely discuss human rights,
religious tolerance and the fight
against violent extremism.
As for the war in Iraq, Perino
said, Obviously, there were dif-
ferences years back. She down-
played those, emphasizing instead
a strong bond between Bush and
the pope.
Benedict will hear from the
president that America and the
world need to hear his message,
that God is love, that human life is
sacred, that we all must be guided
by common moral law, and that
we have responsibilities to care for
our brothers and sisters in need,
at home and across the world,
Perino said.

WASHINGTON A federal
jury convicted a woman Tuesday
of running a prostitution ser-
vice that catered to members of
Washingtons political elite.
Deborah Jeane Palfrey, 52,
sighed as the verdict was read. She
had repeatedly denied the escort
service engaged in prostitution,
saying that if any of the women
engaged in sex acts for money,
they did so without her knowl-
edge.
Palfrey caused a sensation last
year when she announced that to
raise money for her defense, she
i nt e nde d
to sell her
p h o n e
records to
any news
outlet will-
ing to pay.
P a l f r e y
said her
d e f u n c t
bus i ne s s ,
P a m e l a
Martin &
Associates,
was a
legal, high-
end erotic
f a n t a s y
service that serviced elite clients.
She was convicted on all counts
she faced: Money laundering,
using the mail for illegal purposes
and racketeering.
Three of Palfreys clients testi-
fied during the weeklong trial in
U.S. District Court for the District
of Columbia, explaining how they
found the service, how often they
called, what they were hoping for
and whether they got it during
their visits.
When a man agrees to pay
$250 for 90 minutes with a woman,
what do most men expect in that
time? prosecutor Daniel Butler
said during closing arguments
Monday. In that context, its pret-
ty clear. Most men want sex.
But the trial concluded without
revealing many new details about
the service or its clients. Sen.
David Vitter, R-La., was among
possible witnesses, but did not
take the stand.
Vitter has acknowledged being
involved with Palfreys escort ser-
vice. But after issuing brief state-
ments apologizing for a very seri-
ous sin, he has avoided follow-up
questions.
Harlan Ullman, a military
strategist who created the concept
of shock and awe that the United
States used
to open
hostilities
a g a i n s t
Iraq, also
did not
t e s t i f y .
Palfrey says
U l l m a n
was a regu-
lar client;
Ullman has
d e c l i n e d
to discuss
what he
has called
o u t r a -
geous alle-
g a t i o n s .
Randall L. Tobias, who resigned
as a deputy secretary of state after
acknowledging to ABC News that
he used Palfreys service for mas-
sages, also did not testify.
Defense attorney Preston
Burton argued that what went on
during appointments was between
the client and the escort. He com-
pared Palfrey to a taxi dispatcher,
who shouldnt be penalized for
the route the cab driver took.
Palfrey, who faces a maximum
of 55 years in prison, will remain
free pending her sentencing on
July 24.

60 die in car bomb attack
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Women injured in a car bomb attack are brought to a hospital in Baqouba, 60 kilometers (35 miles) northeast of Baghdad, Tuesday. According
to police and hospital ofcials, at least 38 people were killed and 64 wounded in the blast when a car parked in front of a restaurant in downtown
Baqouba exploded, just before noon onTuesday, across the street fromthe central courthouse and other government ofces.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAGHDAD Car bombs and
a suicide attacker struck crowd-
ed areas in Baghdad and former
insurgent strongholds to the north
and west of the capital Tuesday,
killing nearly 60 people and break-
ing a recent lull in violence in the
predominantly Sunni areas.
The attacks were a deadly
reminder of the threat posed by
suspected Sunni insurgents even
as clashes between Shiite militia
fighters and U.S.-Iraqi forces con-
tinued elsewhere.
The U.S. military condemned
the bombings and said they
appeared to have been carried out
by al-Qaida in Iraq.
The first blast occurred in
Baqouba, 35 miles northeast of
Baghdad, when a car parked in
front of a restaurant exploded just
before noon across the street from
the central courthouse and other
government offices.
One survivor described a huge
fire that sent black smoke billow-
ing into the sky and left charred
bodies inside their cars.
I was on my way to the govern-
ment office when a big explosion
occurred nearby, said the witness,
who would only identify himself
by his nickname Abu Ali. As I
approached the site, I saw cars on
fire, burned bodies and damaged
shops damaged with shattered
glass everywhere.
At least 40 people were killed
and 70 wounded in the blast,
according to hospital officials, who
spoke on condition of anonymity
because they werent authorized to
release the information.
AP Television News footage
showed many of the bodies cov-
ered in crisp white sheets in the
main hospitals courtyard while
the emergency room inside was
overwhelmed with the wounded.
The U.S. military in northern
Iraq gave a slightly lower toll, say-
ing 35 Iraqi citizens were killed,
including a policeman, and 66
wounded in the attack.
It was the deadliest bombing
in Iraq since March 6 when a
twin bombing killed 68 people
in a crowded shopping district
in the central Baghdad district of
Karradah.
A suicide attacker on a motor-
cycle later drove up to a kebab res-
taurant in Ramadi and detonated
his explosives vest around 12:30
p.m., killing at least 13 people
including three policemen and
wounding 20 other people, police
Capt. Abu Saif al-Anbari said.
Hospital officials said two chil-
dren were among the dead.
Police initially thought a parked
car had exploded in the industrial
area but later determined it was a
suicide attack, al-Anbari said.
Ahmed al-Dulaimi, a 27-year-
old mechanic, was at the restau-
rant when the blast occurred but
escaped injury because he was sit-
ting at a back table. He said his
cousin, who owned the restaurant,
had been killed.
Pieces of flesh flew into the air
and the roof fell over us. I saw the
horrible sight of bodies without
heads or without legs or hands,
he said.
Ramadi, 70 miles west of
Baghdad, is the capital of Anbar
province and has largely been
sealed off by checkpoints.
Like Baqouba, the area has
seen a sharp decline in violence
in recent months as Sunni tribal
leaders have joined forces with
the Americans against al-Qaida
in Iraq.
The U.S. military said overall
attacks in Diyala province have
dropped more than 76 percent
since June 2007.
Although attacks such as
todays event are tragic, it is not
indicative of the overall security
situation in Baqouba, Maj. Mike
Garcia, a spokesman for U.S. forc-
es in Diyala, said in a statement.
A parked car bomb also targeted
a police patrol in central Baghdad,
killing four civilians who were
passing by and wounding 15 other
people, police said.
Elsewhere in northern Iraq,
a double car bombing in Mosul
wounded three Iraqi policemen
and 15 civilians, the U.S. military
said. Mosul is considered one of
the last urban strongholds for al-
Qaida in Iraq and the American
and Iraqi militaries have promised
a security crackdown.
Breeding policy poorly worded
state
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WICHITA A city ordinance
requiring dog breeders to buy an
annual license was so ambigu-
ously written that it could be
interpreted to apply to all owners
whose dogs have puppies.
The city policy said breeders
must buy an $50 annual license to
breed dogs, but it doesnt define
what a breeder is, allowing for
the broad interpretation. Those
who violate the law, which went
into effect in December, face a
$100 fine.
If you got a dog with a litter
of puppies in Wichita, youve just
broken the law, said Hank Price,
a Wichita Kennel Club board
member.
City officials say the rule needs
tweaking and could be sent back
to the City Council for review in
the next few months.
Dennis Graves, the citys ani-
mal services supervisor, said tick-
ets for not having the license have
been written only when people
were caught selling dogs in park-
ing lots the intended target of
the measure. Only a few breeders
have applied for the licenses.
The ordinance also says its
unlawful for anybody to sell or
give away or accept any animal
on property not owned or rented
by the seller or buyer, unless its
at a pet shop, a state-licensed ani-
mal shelter or licensed for breed-
ing or sale.
If you have a litter of pup-
pies and youre going to do any-
thing like give one away, youre
violating the
law, said
Kim Jenning,
who owns
c h a m p i o n
Dal mat i ans.
Its inexpli-
cable to me.
The ordi-
nance was
aimed at
puppy mills
and pit bulls,
said Kay
Johnson, director of the citys
department of environmental
services.
The law may have been
designed to control the breeding
of dangerous dogs and to reduce
the population of unwanted pets,
owners say, but it hurts responsi-
ble dog breeders and wont affect
irresponsible owners who flout
laws anyway.
Any of these broad-brush, all-
inclusive kind of laws and ordi-
nances always punish the respon-
sible pet owners, said Jim Halsig,
owner of Bed and Biscuit Pet
Center, which grooms pets and
sells animal supplies.
The ordinance also requires
places where animals are housed
by licensed breeders to be open
during rea-
s o n a b l e
hours for
inspection by
a health offi-
cer.
Other dog
owners dont
think the city
needs anoth-
er pet ordi-
nance.
I would
love to see
them enforce the laws they have.
Then, when they can show us
thats not working, then I think
you look at new laws, said Treva
Faires, a Wichita Kennel Club
member.
Breeders licenses must be
renewed annually. The penalty for
failing to get a breeders license is
a mandatory court appearance
and fines of $100 for the first
offense and $250 for the second.
Any of these broad-brush,
all-inclusive kind of law and
ordinances always punish the
responsible pet owners.

Coal plant supporters

TOPEKa lobbyists have
reported spending $790,000 in
an ongoing debate about two
coal-fred power plants in south-
west Kansas.
most of the money has been

The campaigns began after
the states top environmental

deny an air-quality permit for
the two plants. sunfower Elec-

Cosby records hip-hop album
BY SANDY COHEN
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES Bill Cosbys
path has taken him from pudding
pops to hip hop.
The 70-year-old has recorded
a hip-hop album set for release
next month. Cosby Narratives
Vol. 1: State of Emergency blends
the comedians concepts and sto-
ries with a hip-hop, pop and jazz
soundtrack.
I do not rap on any of these
things, Cosby told The Associated
Press on Monday. I wouldnt know
how to fix my mouth to say some
of the words.
Cosby said the hip-hop music
he hears is profane and degrad-
ing. His album is the opposite of
what I think is the profanity for
no particular reason, the misogyny
for no particular reason, he said.
It really looks at the frustration
and the anger that a young man
may have.
The album, assembled by
Cosbys longtime musical collabo-
rator Bill Spaceman Patterson,
contains rhymes provided by guest
rappers. The subject matter? The
value of an education. The value
of respecting ones self and ... giv-
ing (listeners) a chance to raise
their self-esteem and confidence,
Cosby said.
Patterson said he was surprised
when Cosby first inquired about
making a rap record until the
comedian revealed he wouldnt be
the one doing the rapping.
People started speculating, is he
going to rap about Jell-O Pudding
Pops or what? Patterson said. But
hes always been involved in music
and he was there for the first gen-
eration of spoken word.

In the face of powerful lobbying
from special interest groups, the
Student Senate has lost some of its
autonomy. Senate needs to adopt
rules that will increase transpar-
ency and limit the amount and
type of gifts it can receive.
Last weeks election offered stu-
dents the opportunity to yield their
most powerful check over
the governing body that
represents them a vote.
Not surprisingly, turnout
was low. Only 4,207 stu-
dents voted for president
and vice president. The
first step in reviving interest from
students is making sure the issues
they care about most passionately
are the ones their representatives
are focused on. Although ethics
reform isnt a hot-button issue,
it is the first step in re-centering
Student Senate around the stu-
dents.
All gifts senators receive need
to be publicly documented, allow-
ing constituents to evaluate their
senators interests. The senate
could look to the United States
Congress for guidance on what
gifts are acceptable. Under con-
gressional rules, all gifts must be
unsolicited, cannot be valued at
more than $50 and congressmen
cannot receive more than $100 in
gifts per calendar year. Whether
Student Senate adopts the con-
gressional guidelines or simply
publishes a document of all gifts
received, transparency needs to
increase to ensure that students are
being represented and not special
interests.
Starting in Fall 2007, executive
leadership in the senate received
scholarships from the University
administration. Kansas Athletics
Inc. has, at the same time, con-
tinued to offer senators free tick-
ets to games, with out-
of-state trips and access
to the chancellors box at
Memorial Stadium for
some executive leaders.
Thomas Cox, senior
student senator from
Shawnee, deals directly with these
issues. Cox sits on the Chancellors
Advisory Board on Athletics
where he meets with Lew Perkins,
Athletics Department representa-
tives and the chancellor twice a
semester to discuss Student Senate
and its relationship with the
Athletics Department.
In the past, Cox said he was able
to obtain tickets to a football and
basketball game through this rela-
tionship and that he was afraid to
lose such awesome perks.
Cox went on to say it hit me
that I was completely failing to
serve the student body like I was
elected to do, because I put some-
thing else before the students.
According to Cox, none of this is
against any current Student Senate
rules, as the senate does not have
any rules governing gifts.
Cox said these perks and the fear
of losing them led him to not think
or act independently in regard to
the Athletics Department.
Cox is currently preparing to
present legislation that would
ban any gift from the Athletics
Department to senators.
Burdett Loomis, professor of
political science, indicated this
situation was definitely in a gray
area.
Although Loomis voiced con-
cerns, he also pointed to benefits
that gifts can have. For instance,
its not illogical that the student
body president or student body
vice president come to these
[events]. Thats what you do in
politics, he said in regards to exec-
utive leadership having access to
the Chancellors Box at Memorial
Stadium.
Loomis pointed out that having
student representatives speak to
leaders, such as the governor or
chancellor at a game, can move the
often slow wheels of bureaucracy
forward and perhaps bring benefits
to students.
Although moving the slow
wheels along is important, eth-
ics should not be sacrificed for
expediency. A senate that runs
on this principle is best-suited to
lead itself back to a representation
of the students and not special
interests.

Board.
Its good to see that Hillary
Clinton is thinking about Americas
crime problem.
More than one in 100 American
adults, more than 2.3 million peo-
ple, are in prison.
For young adults, the problem
is much more severe: One in every
53 people between 20 and 24 years
old is in jail. The high number of
people our age who are in prison
should make this issue important
to us as we consider who we would
like for our next president.
Clinton hopes to lower the
number of repeat offenders by a
two-fold strategy. First, her plan
would offer extra help to people
who wanted to come clean and
lead responsible lives. Second, it
would make penalties for those
who violate their probation more
certain, giving ex-convicts an extra
reason not to break the law again.
Her plan would also afford com-
munities more police officers and
help to hire community-oriented
prosecutors.
Clintons plan isnt cheap. If
implemented, it would cost about
$4 billion, which would come from
eliminating unnecessary and out-
dated corporate subsidies. But
keeping so many people in jail
isnt cheep, either. The states spend
almost $1 billion each, more than
$49 billion total, on prisons and
other forms of corrections every
year. In context, Clintons plan
seems like a guaranteed money
saver. However, the real benefit
of Clintons plan isnt the money it
would save. Clintons plan would
make America a better, safer place
to live and would offer help to
young people who need a second
chance.

Better to receive?

olympics and politics
separation impossible
The Olympic torch relay
is not meant to be a political
weapon for the host country
of the Olympics or its critics.
However, separating sports
from politics, in line with
Olympic ideals, is seldom
successful and on the part
of the Beijing games it has
utterly failed.
The nationalistic riots in
Tibet and Chinas clumsy way
of relating the events have
infamed the situation to
such an extent that protests
against the torchs trip are
certain to continue as it
travels through 20 countries
to China.
The International Olym-
pic Committee has good
reason to meet this week to
evaluate the desirability of
continuing the torch relay.
But it wont be solved by sim-
ply directing it only to those
countries where demonstra-
tions would not be allowed.

What keeps me from going
onto campus or Mass Street with
giant signs of men having sex
with a horse, my soap box under
my feet, proclaiming how bes-
tiality is ruining our children
along with our families and core
value systems?
Its the realization that it
doesnt get people to focus on
the problem; it gets people to
focus on the way Im protesting
the problem.
This is my basic parallel to
anti-abortion signs that display
giant aborted fetuses.
Im not here to discuss wheth-
er or not abortion is wrongif
you want to read an article about
that please look at college news-
papers from the past 20 years.
Im here to discuss giant
aborted fetuses on protest signs.
I should point out that fetus-
es arent that large in real life.
Fetuses arent 20 feet tall. I know
youre thinking Im a liar. I know,
Im no scientist, but I think Im
right.
These signs make me uncom-
fortable. But Im not going to
argue with those who would reply,
Well, since their appearance on
a sign makes you uncomfortable
maybe that means you have a
problem with abortion.
Im going to stick with what
I came to this page to discuss:
no double standards, no giant
aborted fetuses on signs, no
more distractions from real
issues, no debate about it.
Instead of discussing abor-
tion, we find ourselves discuss-
ing the means to protesting
abortion. These arent conver-
sations we should be having.
This column shouldnt have ever
needed to be written.
I shouldnt have had to sit at
my desk thinking of a polite way
to say to have sex with a duck.
These signs do not add any-
thing to the debate; they only
distract us from the real issue.
Instead of discussing the obvious
moral problems and the over-
all ramifications of abortion, we
discuss the use of giant dead
fetuses on signs.
If I were to protest gun violence
with signs of dead men shot to
pieces, there would be an uproar.
If I were to protest homosexual-
ity with signs of men sodomizing
one another, there would be an
uproar. Theres a double standard
here, and it should no longer be
allowed.
I neednt go to the extreme of
getting a sign of a woman plea-
suring a goat to prove my point.
The use of signs that incorpo-
rate aborted fetuses must stop in
order for our society to discuss
abortion appropriatelyuntil
then nothing of importance will
be said and no debate will be
worthwhile.

WASHINGTON The State
Department is warning U.S. diplo-
mats they may be forced to serve in
Iraq next year and says it will soon
start identifying prime candidates
for jobs at the Baghdad embassy
and outlying provinces, according
to a cable obtained Tuesday by The
Associated Press.
A similar call-up notice last year
caused an uproar among foreign
service officers, some of whom
objected to compulsory work in a
war zone, although in the end the
State Department found enough
volunteers to fill the jobs.
Now, the State Department
anticipates another staffing crisis.
We face a growing challenge
of supply and demand in the 2009
staffing cycle, the cable said, not-
ing that more than 20 percent of
the nearly 12,000 foreign service
officers have already worked in the
two major hardship posts Iraq
and Afghanistan and a growing
number have done tours in both
countries.
As a result, the unclassified April
8 cable says, the prime candidate
exercise will be repeated next year,
meaning the State Department will
begin identifying U.S. diplomats
qualified to serve in Iraq and who
could be forced to work there if
they dont volunteer.
The prime candidate list will be
comprised of diplomats who have
special abilities that are needed in
Iraq, such as Arabic language skills,
deep Mideast knowledge or train-
ing in specific areas of reconstruc-
tion.
We must assign to Iraq those
employees whose skills are most
needed, and those employees
should know that they person-
ally are needed, Foreign Service
Director General Harry Thomas
said in the cable sent to all diplo-
matic missions.
The cable describes how the
department will fill upcoming
vacancies at hardship posts like
those Iraq and Afghanistan
although it doesnt plan to force
any Afghanistan assignments.
Diplomats will bid, or apply, for
positions in the war zones that will
be advertised in May. After that,
the department expects to begin
identifying prime candidates for
about 300 Iraq jobs that come open
next summer, Thomas wrote.
The cable said more details will
be announced next month, but
identification of prime candidates
is the first step in implementing so-
called directed assignments. That
means ordering diplomats to work
in certain locations under threat
of dismissal unless they have a
compelling reason, such as a health
condition, that would prevent them
from going.
Last year, after prime candidates
were identified for 48 Iraq jobs that
come open this summer, enough
qualified volunteers came forward
to avoid what would have been the
largest diplomatic call-up since the
Vietnam War but not before the
uproar over the prospect of forced
tours made national headlines.
The State Department is hop-
ing it can fill all of next years Iraq
vacancies with volunteers as it did
in 2008.
We hope to accomplish the
same in 2009, the cable says.
A willing, qualified volunteer is
always preferable to an employee
sent involuntarily.
The union that represents U.S.
diplomats shares that view.
Unless there is some huge
upward change in the number of
positions, I think its quite pos-
sible to staff the Baghdad embassy
with volunteers, said John Naland,
president of the American Foreign
Service Association.

WASHINGTON Republicans
on a congressional panel Tuesday
said the Federal Communications
Commission should re-auction a
block of public airwaves to the
highest bidder and turn the pro-
ceeds over to public safety pro-
fessionals to fund a nationwide
emergency communications net-
work.
The idea was raised as the House
Energy and Commerce subcom-
mittee on telecommunications
and the Internet heard testimony
on why a plan aimed at using pub-
lic airwaves and private money
to create a nationwide emergency
communications network failed to
attract any interest in an otherwise
successful spectrum auction.
Rep. Joe Barton of Texas,
the ranking Republican on the
House Energy and Commerce
Committee, and Rep. Cliff Stearns,
ranking member of the subcom-
mittee, both suggested the solu-
tion as an alternative to trying to
fix the current plan.
With consensus, Congress
could pass a law to use proceeds
from the commercial re-auction
for the public-private partner-
ship, Barton said.
The subcommittee heard from
all five members of the Federal
Communications Commission as
well as key
figures in
the behind-
t h e - s c e n e s
negoti ations
that failed
to lead to an
a g r e e me n t
to construct
the wireless
b r o a d b a n d
network.
The recent-
ly completed auction of a portion
of the public airwaves, while rais-
ing a record $19.1 billion, failed
to attract a bidder to build the
network.
Disasters like Hurricane
Katrina in 2005 and the terrorist
attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, revealed
limitations of the nations emer-
gency communications networks,
like the inability of police and
firefighters to communicate with
one another.
Ideally, a new network would
help solve the interoperability
problem and avail emergency per-
sonnel of many of the advances in
wireless technology that are avail-
able to commercial users.
The FCC approved the emer-
gency communications plan last
summer. Under
the plan, the
FCC set aside
about one-sixth
of the recently
auctioned air-
waves. The D
block would
have been com-
bined with a
roughly equal
portion of spec-
trum controlled
by a public safety trust to create a
shared network.
The winning D block bidder,
in exchange for use of the public
safety spectrum, would build the
network and make a profit by
selling access to wireless service
providers. But the block failed to
attract a bidder.
House Energy and Commerce
Committee Chairman John
Dingell, D-Mich., said he was
presently unmoved by sugges-
tions that the block should be
auctioned for purely commercial
use and the proceeds handed to
public safety.
At this moment, I consider
such an approach to be an admis-
sion that we are not serious about
attaining true interoperability, he
said.
FCC Chairman Kevin Martin, a
Republican, said his agency would
need legislative approval to pro-
ceed with such a plan.
Estimates on how much a
national network would cost
have varied widely, but the com-
mission has estimated it would
cost between $6 billion and $7
billion. It is uncertain whether
the block would generate that
much revenue at auction, noted
Democratic Commissioner
Jonathan Adelstein.
Harlin McEwen, chairman of
the Public Safety Spectrum Trust,
the nonprofit corporation that
oversees the public portion of the
spectrum, opposed the idea.
I dont think thats a practical
solution, he said.
McEwen said it would not pro-
vide enough spectrum to emer-
gency responders and would be
unlikely to raise enough money to
build the network.

WASHINGTON Managers
of hedge funds would have to
improve the operating proce-
dures of the giant pools of capi-
tal in such areas as transparency
and risk management under new
proposals offered Tuesday.
Two advisory groups assem-
bled by the Bush administration
proposed new best practices
for the hedge fund industry,
but a leading critic attacked the
effort as falling far short of the
mandatory government regula-
tions that are needed.
One set of the recommen-
dations was prepared by hedge
fund manag-
ers and the
other was
put together
by investors
who use the
funds.
Tr e a s ur y
S e c r e t a r y
H e n r y
Paulson said
the recom-
mendat i ons
would send
a strong message that height-
ened vigilance is necessary and
appropriate and that all stake-
holders have an important role
to play.
However, Richard Blumenthal,
attorney general of Connecticut,
the home for many hedge funds,
said the voluntary guidelines
were a virtual farce that would
do little to halt abuses in an
industry that has seen explosive
growth with assets now close to
$2 trillion in an estimated 8,000
funds.
Hedge funds have become
too big and too important to
remain outside the rules,
Blumenthal said in a statement.
Instead of voluntary guidelines,
the federal government should
set specific, common sense rules
and provide
for federal
and state
e n f o r c e -
ment.
The release
of the guide-
lines comes at
a time when
a severe cred-
it crisis has
roiled finan-
cial markets
with many
large banks
and investment houses being
forced to declare billions of dol-
lars in losses.
Hedge funds have been caught
up in the turmoil as investors
have grown worried about the
solvency of funds that invest-
ed heavily in securities backed
by subprime mortgages, where
delinquencies have hit record
levels.
Hedge funds, which operate
with little government supervi-
sion, cater to institutional inves-
tors and very wealthy individu-
als. However, millions of ordi-
nary people have also become
unwitting investors in the funds
through their pension plans.
In early 2007, a presiden-
tial working group headed by
Paulson rejected the idea that
the funds needed increased
regulation and said what was
needed was improved voluntary
standards for both fund manag-
ers and investors.
In unveiling the recommen-
dations of the advisory groups
on Tuesday, Paulson said the
administration was not endors-
ing the status quo but rather
pushing for improvements that
would keep U.S. financial mar-
kets competitive in a global
economy.
Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y.,
a key voice on financial matters
in the Senate, said that Congress
was just beginning to examine
what needs
to be done
in the wake
of the severe
credit crisis
but in the
interim these
best prac-
tices should
s t r e ng t h e n
the hedge
fund industry
and provide
investors and regulators with
better information.
The credit crisis claimed
its biggest victim last month
with the near-collapse of Bear
Stearns, the countrys fifth larg-
est investment bank, which was
taken over by JP Morgan Chase
& Co. in a deal in which the
Federal Reserve provided a $30
billion loan.
Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass.,
chairman of the House Financial
Services Committee, said in an
interview with The Associated
Press on Tuesday, that he
expected Congress not this
year but in the future to
revamp financial regulations to
better keep pace with financial
innovations such as the growth
in hedge funds.
The set of
guidelines for
investors was
drawn up by
an advisory
panel headed
by Russell
Read, the
chief invest-
ment offi-
cer of the
C a l i f o r n i a
P u b l i c
Empl oye e s
Re t i r e me nt
System (CalPERS), the larg-
est pension fund in the United
States.
The other set of recommenda-
tions for hedge fund operations
was draw up by an advisory
panel headed by Eric Mindich,
the head of Eton Park Capital
Management, a large hedge
fund.
Mindich said in an interview
with The AP that the effort was
intended to raise the bar for
the industry. He said the pro-
posals could be modified based
on comments received during
an upcoming 60-day comment
period.
Hedge funds have become too
big and too important to remain
outside the rules.

CHICAGO Two colleges
returned to normal class schedules
Tuesday after a promised dooms-
day scrawled in graffiti came and
went without incident, but one uni-
versity remained closed as admin-
istrators weighed the seriousness of
the threats.
St. Xavier University will
reopen Wednesday, after admin-
istrators told students and non-
essential personnel to remain off
campus Tuesday. A message in a
bathroom reading Be prepared to
die on 4/14 resulted in empty
campuses Monday not only at the
Catholic liberal arts college on the
citys southwest side, but also at
four nearby elementary and high
schools.
Unlike officials at St. Xavier,
administrators at Malcolm X
College, a public school west of
downtown, and Michigans Oakland
University decided to resume class-
es Tuesday.
Malcolm X evacuated students
and canceled daytime classes
Monday after a similar threat was
found in a campus bathroom.
Administrators closed Oakland
because of threatening graffiti
me nt i oni ng
April 14.
We feel it is
safe to return to
normal opera-
tions Tuesday,
O a k l a n d
Un i v e r s i t y
Chief of Police
Sam Lucido
said in a state-
ment.
The closures
just two
days before the anniversary of the
Virginia Tech killings and exactly
two months after the deadly ram-
page at Northern Illinois University
illustrate a major challenge fac-
ing school administrators, who
have to decide just how seriously to
take such threats.
St. Xavier and Malcolm X are
located about 15 miles apart, and
although the wordings in the
threats were similar, there was
no indication they were related,
Chicago police spokeswoman
Monique Bond said.
The graffiti at St. Xavier the
second of two threats found since
April 5 was widely publicized
over the weekend, and also men-
tioned in updates the college post-
ed on its Web
site.
W h i l e
St. Xavier
a dmi ni s t r a -
tors decided
Friday to close
its campuses
until further
notice, classes
at Malcolm X
resumed late
Monday after-
noon. Bond
said bomb-sniffing dogs from the
Chicago Police Department swept
through Malcolm X, but campus
police made the final decision
about when to reopen.
Oakland, a state university in
Rochester, Mich., about 20 miles
north of Detroit, was to resume
classes Tuesday.
The graffiti that led to its shut-
down also made a reference to
4/14 but didnt specify a type
or time of an attack, Montgomery
said.
In the Chicago area, two ele-
mentary schools and two high
schools near St. Xavier canceled
classes Monday after a Saturday
meeting between school officials
and city police.
The fact that the threat men-
tioned a certain date helped
administrators at Evergreen Park
Southwest Elementary decide to
shut down, district superintendent
Craig Fiegel said. Other schools in
the district located in the village
of Evergreen Park, next to Chicago
canceled outdoor recess and PE
classes Monday.
Fiegel called violent graffiti the
new bomb threat, recalling a peri-
od in the 1960s when bomb threats
were regularly used to close down
institutions. He said he worries that
the closures could encourage other
people who get a kick out of caus-
ing chaos.
At what point is it serious and
at what point do you have to go on
with it? Fiegel said.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska A
radio station suspended two disc
jockeys Tuesday over a deroga-
tory remark about Alaska Native
women made on their show, a
comment that has Alaskans com-
paring the shock-jock duo to Don
Imus.
The Anchorage DJs, known as
Woody and Wilcox, were joking
about what makes someone a real
Alaskan, when one of them said
it was somebody who makes love
to the Yukon River and urinates
in a Native woman. Its a twist on
an old saying also offensive to
many that real Alaskans have
urinated in the Yukon River and
made love to an Alaska Native
woman.
Some Alaska Natives are calling
for sanctions against KBFX-FM,
the hard rock station that features
Woody and Wilcox on its morn-
ing show.
Natives are likening the remarks
to those made last spring by Imus,
who called the Rutgers University
womens basketball team nappy-
headed hos. CBS Radio fired Imus
on April 12, 2007, and pulled the
plug on his nationally syndicated
show. He returned to the air in
December at WABC-AM in New
York after a series of public apolo-
gies.
State Rep. Mary Nelson, a Bethel
Democrat who is part Yupik, voiced
her disgust on the floor of the state
House on Sunday, the last day of
the legislative session. She labeled
the Anchorage DJs comments
abhorrent to the highest degree
and called for an apology, as well
as punishment by the Federal
Communications Commission.
Gary Donovan, a market man-
ager for the station, said he couldnt
recall which of the two disc jock-
eys whose real names are Greg
Wood and Chris Wilcox made
the derogatory remarks. The sta-
tion said it has indefinitely sus-
pended the disc jockeys while they
get sensitivity training.
The length of the suspension
wasnt clear, though the station said
the disc jockeys pay during that
period would be donated to char-
ity.
At the core of the escalating out-
rage is the fact that Alaska Native
women are disproportionately tar-
geted in violent crimes, including
rape, said Denise Morris, president
of the Alaska Native Justice Center,
an Anchorage-based social advo-
cacy organization that is planning
to file a formal complaint with the
FCC.
The state has long posted the
highest sexual assault rate in the
nation, and the problem is worst in
rural, largely Native areas, accord-
ing to a recent law enforcement
study.

SAN ANGELO, Texas Police
wore body armor, sported auto-
matic weapons and were backed
by an armored personnel carrier
for a raid on a West Texas polyg-
amist retreat, photos and video
released Tuesday show.
Sect members took the photos
and video during the first few days
of a seven-day raid that involved
police agencies from six coun-
ties, the Texas Rangers, the state
highway patrol and wildlife offi-
cers. Authorities were looking for
a teenage girl who had reported
being abused by her 50-year-old
husband.
A sect member whose wife
shot the video said sect members

Law enforcement surrounded
the FLDS ranch April 3, carrying
a warrant seeking a 16-year-old
girl who claimed she was trapped
inside the church retreat and had
been beaten and raped by her
husband.
More than 400 children all
of whom lived in the large, dor-
mitory-style log homes were
seized in the raid on suspicion
they were being sexually and
physically abused. They are being
held in the San Angelo Coliseum
and are awaiting a massive court
hearing Thursday that will begin
to determine their fate.
Meisner said child welfare
officials still cant find birth cer-
tificates for many of the children,
making parentage and age deter-
minations impossible. She said
many of the children dont know
who their parents are and many
have the same last name but may
or may not be related.
Officials have yet to identify the
16-year-old whose call for help to
a Texas domestic violence hotline
triggered the raid.

A proposed garden of natural
flowers and grasses on campus could
ensure that next fall, rains like those
experienced last week wouldnt be
flushed down the drain.
The rain garden will provide a
place for rainwater to infiltrate into
the ground rather than running into
Lawrences sewer system.
Studie Red Corn, Shawnee senior,
initiated and designed the rain gar-
den project as another link in the
chain of student-initiated environ-
mental endeavors on campus.
Students will install the 5,480
square feet of plants and limestone
on the north side of the Student
Recreation Fitness Center early next
semester when the buildings exten-
sion has been completed.
This would probably be the larg-
est student-designed project that ever
happened on campus, Red Corn said.
Plants in the garden will range
from goldenrods and geraniums to
Indian and Little bluestem grasses
all of which occur naturally in
Kansas.
Red Corn said the colorful array
of native vegetation would be highly
visible on campus. It would also help
diminish some of the water pollution
caused by rainwater runoff on the
paved areas surrounding the recre-
ation center.
Rainwater can sweep across park-
ing lots, walkways and rooftops,
picking up pollutants such as oil,
grease, chemicals, and metals and
deposit them into nearby rivers and
lakes. The Environmental Protection
Agency cites this as one of the lead-
ing sources of pollution in water
bodies in the U.S.
The rain garden project will lessen
the water pollution by catching rain-
water where it falls and infiltrating
it deep into the soil by way of the
plants roots.
The environmental benefit of rain
gardens has led to development of larg-
er movements, such as the 10,000 Rain
Gardens initiative in Kansas City, Mo.
Lynn Hinkle, project manager
of 10,000 Rain Gardens, said the
project began three years ago when
research showed that rain gardens
scattered across the city helped alle-
viate overflow problems in Kansas
Citys sewer system.
Hinkle said the project, paid for
by the Water Services Department
of Kansas City, Mo., has helped raise
awareness for ways to reduce pollu-
tion related to storm water runoff.
By virtue of what KU is doing,
were really seeing it take off, Hinkle
said. Three years ago, nobody knew
what a rain garden was. Now theyre
familiar with it.
The garden will cost about
$37,600, the bulk of which will come
from grant money, Student Senate
and the recreation center.
Though there isnt specific data on
the effect of rain gardens, Red Corn
said he was confident the garden
would make a difference on campus.
The University is at a point where
it has a lot to gain with sustainabil-
ity, Red Corn said. And students,
including myself, are learning a lot in
the process.

Merger may dismay passengers
airlines
BY CHRIS KAHN
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHOENIX Getting hitched
may be the right move for Delta
and Northwest. But for beleaguered
air travelers, it could usher in an
era of higher fares, fewer flights,
more confusion at the airport and
even more crowded planes.
The merger could kick off a
wave of airline consolidation.
And while the effects would not
be immediate because the com-
binations could take months to
get regulatory approval, industry
observers say get ready anyway for
fewer carriers in the sky.
Mergers, combined with a
recent spate of airline bankrupt-
cies, mean passengers in many
cities can expect fewer flights to
choose from, and theyll be packed
even fuller than they are now.
Greater demand for remaining seats
translates into higher ticket prices.
Theres no doubt in my mind
fares are going to go up, said
Rick Seaney, chief executive of
FareCompare.com, which tracks
changes in airline ticket prices.
Consumers are deluding them-
selves if they think thats not the
case.
Peter Schiff, president of broker-
age firm Euro Pacific Capital, said
the changes could put air travel out
of reach for Americans of modest
means.
Although
m a n y
Ame r i c a n s
have come to
regard afford-
able air travel
as a birthright,
from a global
perspective it
remains the
province of the
wealthy, Schiff
said.
That could mean more head-
aches for travelers already reeling
from a string of cancellations due
to stepped-up scrutiny of safety
regulations by the Federal Aviation
Administration.
The merger announcement
by Northwest Airlines Corp. and
Delta Air Lines Inc., which would
create the worlds largest airline,
has already ignited talks among
other airlines as they seek to bulk
up to combat rising fuel prices in a
slowing economy.
Continental Airlines Inc. execu-
tives told employees Tuesday that the
airline wants to
remain inde-
pendent but
warned the
landscape is
changing and
said it would
consider its
strategic alter-
natives.
The execu-
tives did not
say what they
might consider,
but Continental has held talks with
United Airlines in the past.
United CEO Glenn Tilton issued
his own statement to employ-
ees Tuesday in which he called
industry consolidation one of the
changes necessary for the indus-
try to get to sustained profits.

A Northwest plane is seen parked as travelers wait for their fight Tuesday at Detroit Metropolitan Airport. Getting hitched may be the right

sumers are deluding themselves

The mens golf team finished eighth in
the River Landing Intercollegiate during
the weekend. This marked the Jayhawks
best finish of the spring season. With a
three round score of 881, Kansas finished
30 strokes behind tournament champions
Duke.
We faced our toughest competition of
the year and played pretty solid, coach Kit
Grove said. Its a step in the right direction
going into the Big 12 Championship.
The Jayhawks competed against three
top-25 teams in the country as determined
by the Golfweek/Sagarin Performance Index.
The tournament was also Kansas last com-
petition before the Big 12 Championship
April 25 to April 27.
The team was led by its freshman
duo of Brad Hopfinger and Nate Barbee.
Hopfinger finished tied for 16th place with
a three round score of 217. This was his
sixth top-30 finish of the year. Hopfinger
recorded the third-best round of his career,
with five birdies in the third round and a
score of 69.
I wasnt doing well at first, but I started
to hit the ball straight and putted a lot bet-
ter, Hopfinger said.
Barbee finished tied for 20th place with
a three-round score of 218. Barbee has fin-
ished in the top-20 four times this year.
Also competing for the Jayhawks were
juniors Zach Pederson and Walt Koelbel.
Pederson finished tied for 45th place with a
three round score of 223. Pederson record-
ed a third round score of 72, which marked
the fourth time he had finished on par or
better.
Koelbel had a three-round score of 225
and finished tied for 54th place. Sophomore
Patrick Roth had a three-round score of 236
and finished tied for 79th place.
As a team, the Jayhawks improved dur-
ing each round of the tournament with
scores of 299, 294 and 288 subsequently.
It was a really solid tournament,
Hopfinger said. It was a really good effort
as a team.

The official 2008 Kansas football poster
was handed out Monday night in Memorial
Stadium at the spring game. It features
a large visored Kansas player flanked to
his right by a scroll that reads, Were Just
Getting Started, and to his left by the 2008
Orange Bowl trophy. On the bottom of the
poster players such as Todd Reesing, Kerry
Meier and Jake Sharp are shown in football
poses surrounded by giant oranges.
The poster has the subtlety of a ham-
mer on glass. It will serve to ratchet up the
expectations of the fan base in an attempt
to sell more tickets. In this way the poster
does its job.
It only takes the educated fan a quick
glance to the posters left to bring them
back down to earth, however. It is the teams
schedule. At South Florida. At Oklahoma.
Texas Tech. At Nebraska. Texas. Missouri.
Folks, its about time we lower our expec-
tation. The Athletics Department will be
only too happy to remind fans that last
years team won the Orange Bowl. Thats
cool; I will hold the memories of being in
Miami the day of that game until I die. I
just fear it will unrealistically inflate fans
expectations of this years team.
Lets leave the past where it belongs and
focus on the future. I dont feel like this
marketing campaign is doing any favors to
the team with the insinuation that another
Orange Bowl is a realistic option. Because
lets just put all the cards on the table: It
isnt.
Last years schedule was cake. The gal-
axies aligned. This year it is brutal. Next
years team could be better than last and still
finish the regular season 9-3. That is real-
ity. Kansas is not a national championship
contender next year. They arent even a BCS
contender. Im not trying to be the Grinch.
This is just reality.
Additionally, there are no guarantees
that the 2008 Jayhawks are more talented
than the 2007 version. On top of the
departing seniors, cornerback Aqib Talib
and offensive tackle Anthony Collins bolt-
ed for the NFL (tangentially, this brings
me to the high comedy of the last years
KU football team picture. Check it out if
you have a copy. It was distributed at the
Spring Game with the words 2008 Orange
Bowl Champions at the bottom. Anyway,
take a look at Talib. Every single player and
coach is looking at the camera and either
smiling or glaring. Except Aqib, who is
looking off to his right into space. I like to
think he is already figuratively looking to
his future in the NFL, his head no longer
with his current team, or maybe wonder-
ing whether he will tell pro personnel
people about his marijuana use in college.
End of tangent).
In my humble opinion, the loss of Collins
will prove to be much bigger than the loss of
Talib. We all knew Talib was gone after this
season. It was easier to plan for life without
him. And while I respect his big play ability,
not only on defense but sporadically with
the offense, the guy was frequently burned
by big time receivers at the college level. He
is a gambler. A huge gambler.
Sometimes that pays off, like with his
interception return for a touchdown (I felt
like Deion!) that might have swung the
outcome of the Orange Bowl. Sometimes it
doesnt. I think replacing Talib with a lesser
talented but more disciplined corner isnt
going to be the drop-off people think it is.
Collins is different. He turned himself
into a stud in 2007. I attribute much more
of the offenses success to the offensive line,
anchored by Collins, than I do to the skill
position guys last year.
And that isnt to take anything away from
Reesing & Company. The Hawks were able
to dominate the line of scrimmage last year
with one of the countrys best left tackles.
Are you convinced Kansas will still have
a dominant offensive line when Collins is
gone next year? I am not. The left tackle
position is crucial in this teams passing
game.
Plus, this bears repeating: Wise defen-
sive coordinator Bill Young took his act
to Miami. I wont even try to predict the
significance of this, but it is more than neg-
ligible. You dont lose one of the countrys
best assistants and not experience at least a
slight downgrade.
All of these things, and especially the dif-
ficulty of the schedule, need us to back up
and re-evaluate things. 7-5 with a lower-tier
bowl invitation would not be a disaster. 8-4
would be a really solid season. And consid-
ering the circumstances, a 9-3 season would
be absolutely stellar. If this team could finish
10-2 with the talent they have and against
the schedule they are playing, then as far
as I am concerned Mark Mangino can be
sainted.
In short, despite the advertising, do not
expect another 12-1 season with a BCS
berth. Mark Mangino is just getting start-
ed, building this program into a peren-
nial power. But the deck is just too stacked
against him this year to expect double digit
wins.

The Jayhawk bats lit up the Hoglund
Ballpark scoreboard Tuesday night against
Baker and the Jayhawks did so with a team
effort. The Jayhawks shut out the Wildcats
in the top half of the first inning and set
the stage for things to come. The Jayhawks
would also set the tone in the bottom of
the inning.
In the bottom of the first, senior right
fielder Ryne Price hit a double to right
field that scored freshman outfielder Brian
Heere. The Hawks would continue to do
damage with the next batter to the plate.
Senior shortstop Erik Morrison hit a
sacrifice fly that scored senior left fielder
John Allman.
The Jayhawks would end the inning with
two runs. The Jayhawks had 21 different
batters come to the plate and scattered 13
hits for 11 runs. Staying consistent, the
Jayhawks would go on to score two in the
third, four in the fourth and one in the
fifth.
Ryne Price went 3-3 with two doubles
and increased his batting average to an
impressive .338.
I thought last weekend was the worst I
have swung all year, Price said. I felt good
again today, so hopefully I can continue it
through Missouri State and Nebraska this
weekend.
While the Jayhawks hit the ball well
Tuesday night, they also got a solid pitching
performance from a number of Jayhawks.
The Jayhawks started the game with six
shutout innings and never allowed the
Wildcats to get into the game. Senior
Hiarali Garcia started the game and threw
three innings, allowing no runs and only
two hits. Garcia earned his second win of
the year and raised his record to 2-0 on the
season.
The Jayhawks ran a number of pitchers
out from the bullpen after that, with good
innings from freshman Brett Bochy and
junior Daniel Manos.
The Wildcats fought back against a 9-0
KU lead right before the seventh-inning
stretch with timely hitting and costly errors.
The leadoff batter, senior first baseman
Aaron Westerhouse, led off with a single
through the left side and would later score.
With two outs in the inning, senior
Dusty Griffin delivered a single up the
middle that would score two more runs.
With three runs in the inning already, the
Wildcats got three more runs off an error
to left field and would put six runs on the
board to finish the inning.
In baseball, sometimes these things
happen, senior Matt Berner said. Having
the young guys in there, you just have to get
through it. Thankfully everything worked
out.
The Jayhawks would add two more runs
in the bottom of the eighth, which would
end up being enough. With the 11-6 victo-
ry, the Jayhawks won their fourth in a row.

DETROIT Edgar Renteria
joked that he didnt know English
when asked to talk about the strug-
gling Detroit Tigers.
The reporter then replied in
broken Spanish: You said this was
like a Dream Team in Lakeland.
Why are the Tigers 2-10?
In any language, the team with
baseballs worst record and sec-
ond-highest payroll is stumped for
answers.
I dont know, Renteria said
Monday before Detroit rallied to
beat the Minnesota Twins 11-9.
The Tigers found out hitting
would help their problems.
They set a season high in runs
and hits (16) to win for the first
time in seven games at home. But
at 3-10 overall, they still have base-
balls worst record.
You give a lineup like that some
confidence and theyre going to get
you, said Matt Guerrier, who gave
up five runs four earned to
boost Detroits comeback.
The Tigers were a popular pick
during spring training not only to
play in the postseason, but to win
their first World Series title since
1984.
History is not on their side.
No team that started 2-10, as
Detroit did, has won a World Series
and just three rallied from such a
rough start to even be in the play-
offs: the 1951 New York Giants,
1974 Pittsburgh Pirates and 2001
Oakland Athletics.
All of baseball is surprised and
alarmed at whats going on with the
Tigers, Twins outfielder Michael
Cuddyer said. But nobody in
this clubhouse and nobody in this
league is writing them off. When
you know the type of players they
have, you know theyre not going
to stay down for long.
Thats what the Tigers are hop-
ing because their payroll is nearly
$139 million.
Detroits top acquisition
Miguel Cabrera is not the only
one off to a poor start, but his lack
of production stands out because
the team decided to pay him $152
million-plus over the next eight
seasons.
Cabrera averaged 32 homers, 115
RBIs while hitting .318 the previous
four seasons in Florida, sensational
statistics that just Albert Pujols
and Vladimir Guerrero matched in
those categories since 2004.
The third baseman went 2-for-
4 with his second RBI since the
opener to improve his batting aver-
age to .205 against Minnesota.
Hes obviously pressing, Detroit
manager Jim Leyland said. But
we havent hit as a team. Miguel
Cabrera isnt the one that hasnt
hit.
Leylands right.
Reigning AL batting champi-
on Magglio Ordonez was hitting
.234 before going 3-for-4 Monday.
Placido Polanco, Gary Sheffield
and Ivan Rodriguez all had sub-
.200 batting averages through
Sunday.
The pitching has been bad, too.
Detroit has the worst ERA in the
majors about six runs a game
and had matched the baseball
high for walks going into the series
opener against the Twins.
Ace Justin Verlander is 0-2 with
a 6.52 ERA. Three other starters
Kenny Rogers, Nate Robertson
and Dontrelle Willis are a com-
bined 0-4 with ERAs ranging from
6.52 to 7.84 after a combined seven
starts.
The Tigers defense had been
average, ranking in the middle of
the pack in errors before making
three more Monday, and a mis-
cue Sunday seemed symbolic as
Cabrera tripped on the third-base
umpires foot to foil his shot at an
easy catch.
That tells you how bad its been
going for us, Leyland said Sunday
after the Chicago White Sox shut
out Detroit for the second straight
game.

Chiefs losing streak
may continue into 08
KANSAS CITY, Mo. The
Kansas City Chiefs ended
2007 with a nine-game losing
streak.
Stopping the streak there
could be difcult.
The Chiefs open the 2008
regular season on the road for
the second straight year with
a matchup against the New
England Patriots.
And Kansas Citys schedule
doesnt get much easier from
there, with four other games
against teams that made the
playofs in 2007: at home
against Tampa Bay and Ten-
nessee, and twice against San
Diego.
The Chiefs, coming of their
second-worst record (4-12)
in 30 years, follow the season
opener in New England with
a home game against the
Oakland Raiders on Sept. 14,
then travel to Atlanta for the
frst time since 1997.
Another long streak ends
two weeks later when Kansas
City plays its frst regular-sea-
son game in Carolina since
1997. An even longer inter-
lude ends on Nov. 2, when the
Buccaneers play at Arrowhead
Stadium for the frst time since
1986 the second-longest
active streak in the NFL.
The Chiefs catch a short
break in the schedule with
home games against New
Orleans and Bufalo at the end
of November, but thats fol-
lowed by road games against
AFC West rivals Oakland and
Denver.
Kansas City closes the sea-
son against Cincinnati on Dec.

STAMFORD, Conn. Polly
Lauder Tunney, the Carnegie
Steel Co. heiress whose marriage
to heavyweight boxing champion
Gene Tunney made international
headlines in 1928, has died, her
family said. She was 100.
Tunney, whose husband died
in 1978 at
age 81, died
Saturday at
her home in
Stamford, a
son, Jonathan
R. Jay
Tunney, said
Monday. One
of her other
sons is for-
mer Sen. John
V. Tunney of
California.
Mary Polly Lauder was 21
when she married Tunney in Italy
in 1928, a year after he success-
fully defended his heavyweight
boxing title against Jack Dempsey
in the famous long count fight
in Chicago.
According to a biography
published last year, he promised
his fiancee he would quit boxing
and defended his title just once
more, with a
TKO of New
Ze a l a nd e r
Tom Heeney.
T h e
engagement
of Tunney,
who escaped
a childhood
of poverty
through his
boxing prow-
ess, and his
heiress sweet-
heart was the source of much
speculation and media attention.
A story datelined Rome had as
a subhead: Bride-to-be Quickly
Hidden in Hotel as Eternal City
Burns With Curiosity.
The New York Times reported
that after the wedding, photogra-
phers had their clothes torn and
cameras smashed in something
that looked mighty like a riot as
they tried to capture the couple
leaving the ceremony.
Polly Tunneys grandfather was
George Lauder, first cousin and
close business partner of industri-
alist and philanthropist Andrew
Carnegie, founder and head of
Carnegie Steel Co.
John Tunney, born in 1934,
was a three-term congressman
when he was
elected to the
Senate from
Ca l i f or ni a
in 1970,
d e f e a t i n g
i nc umb e nt
Republ i can
G e o r g e
M u r p h y ,
a former
Hol l y wood
song and
dance man.
He served one term before he was
defeated in 1976 by Republican
S.I. Hayakawa.
Other survivors include
another son, Gene L. Tunney of
Honolulu, and a daughter, Joan
Cook of Arkansas.
Their late father is most famous
in boxing annals for the fight with
Dempsey on Sept. 22, 1927, in
front of 104,000 at Soldier Field
in Chicago, a
rematch of a
bout won by
c h a l l e n g e r
Tunney in an
upset a year
earlier.
De mps e y
k n o c k e d
Tunney to the
canvas in the
seventh round,
but the referee
delayed the
count because Dempsey did not
immediately heed a new rule that
it could not start until the fighter
was in a neutral corner. Tunney
rose at the count of nine and went
on to win the match. Many fight
fans and reporters contended that
Tunney would have been counted
out if it had not been for the
delayed count.

Former medalist
cleared of charges
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BRUSSELS, Belgium Track
and fields world governing body
dismissed doping allegations
against former Olympic sprint
champion Maurice Greene,
throwing its support behind the
man who once held the 100-meter
world record.
Greene also denied the accusa-
tions, which were made by a wit-
ness in a U.S. government inves-
tigation into sports doping and
reported this past weekend in the
New York Times.
Nick Davies said the
International Association of
Athletics Federations would con-
tinue to use Greene as one of its
goodwill ambassadors to promote
the sport in the run-up to the
Beijing Olympics.
With every ambassador we
do an immediate check with the
doping department, Davies said
by telephone from IAAF head-
quarters in Monaco. In this case
they said, No, we dont have any-
thing.
Greene won the gold in the 100
meters at the 2000 Sydney Games
and was part of the winning U.S.
400-meter relay team.

Home meets for track and field
are rare. Home meets that feature
Olympic athletes are even more
rare. Starting today, students will
have the opportunity to watch the
Jayhawks compete with some of
the best athletes in the world.
Kansas will host its 81st annu-
al Kansas Relays at Memorial
Stadium. The relays take place
during the next three days and
conclude on Saturday.
The Jayhawks are optimistic
after posting several impressive
performances at the John Jacobs
Invitational last weekend in
Norman, Okla.
Senior hurdler Ashley Brown
tied her school record in the wom-
ens 100-meter hurdles and junior
Nickesha Anderson broke the
meet record in the womens 200-
meter dash, set seven years ago.
Andersons time of 23.7 seconds is
currently the fastest womens 200-
meter time in the NCAA.
In addition to Anderson and
Browns solid performances, nine
Kansas athletes regionally quali-
fied at last weekends meet.
Regionally qualifying for the
women were Anderson, Brown,
junior Victoria Howard in the
200-meter dash, senior Alicia
McGregor in the 3,000-meter
dash, senior pole-vaulter Libby
Harmon, freshman pole-vaulter
Julia Cummings and senior long-
jumper Crystal Manning.
Manning competed against for-
mer KU athlete Charisse Bacchus
in the long jump and took home
the victory in an exciting finish.
Her jump of 6.29 meters bested
Bacchuss by two hundredths of a
meter. Mannings 6.29-meter jump
is the fifth best in KU history.
Also successful for the women
was junior Zlata Trasova, who
placed second in the womens
hammer throw at the University of
Georgia . She regionally qualified
with her throw of 55.44 meters.
On the mens side of the event,
senior Egor Agafonov took home
the victory for the Jayhawks in
his outdoor debut. The two-time
national indoor champion won
the event with his throw of 67.03
meters and regionally qualified.
The Jayhawks now look for-
ward to the Kansas Relays. Kansas
will face some tough competition
with rivals Missouri and Kansas
State. Missouris five indoor All-
Americans and Kansas States
10 returning athletes from the
2007 outdoor season will present
Kansas with a big challenge.
In addition to the competitive
rivalries, the relays will showcase
some world-class athletes in the
elite athlete category.
Wallace Spearmon Jr. will com-
pete in two events on Saturday.
He is currently the American
record-holder in the indoor 200-
meter dash. Also competing
are Olympian Muna Lee, 400-
meter hurdles World Champion
Bershawn Jackson and shot put
World Champion Christian
Cantwell.
Lee, who is a graduate of
Central High School in Kansas
City, Mo., placed seventh in the
200-meter dash for team USA at
the 2004 Olympics. She will run in
the womens 400-meter hurdles on
Saturday at 4:20 p.m.
The Kansas Relays take place all
day today and conclude Saturday
evening. Admission is free for stu-
dents and $10 for adults.

Torch run stumbles
en route to Beijing
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan The
Olympic torch came to Pakistan
early Wednesday for what the pro-
China government hoped would be
a festive and trouble-free leg of its
world tour.
Protests against Chinas human
rights record disrupted the torchs
passage through Western cities last
week, and Pakistani authorities took
pains to avoid any repeat during its
short stay en route to Beijing.
A jetliner bringing the torch
from the Persian Gulf sultanate of
Oman arrived at the military sec-
tion of Islamabad airport shortly
after midnight. A Chinese Olympic
official carried a lantern contain-
ing the flame down the steps to
Pakistani sports chiefs and the
Chinese ambassador.
After briefly posing with the lan-
tern, the officials entered the termi-
nal. State TV said the flame would
be kept at a luxury hotel overnight.
Later Wednesday, Hassan Sardar,
a field hockey gold medalist in the
1984 Los Angeles games, squash
star Jahangir Khan and some five
dozen other Pakistani athletes were
scheduled to participate in a torch
relay.
They were to take turns carry-
ing the torch during a ceremony
featuring folk music and dances at
the capitals biggest sports complex
before a crowd expected to include
President Pervez Musharraf.
Plans originally called for ath-
letes to relay the torch along a
nearly two-mile route from the
white marble parliament building
to Jinnah Stadium, but that was
changed to just a run around the
sports complex itself.
Col. Baseer Haider, an army offi-
cer helping organize the event, said
the change was made because of
the overall security environment
and the risk of bad weather. A
violent hailstorm hit Islamabad on
Tuesday.
The Pakistan Olympic
Association urged independent
broadcasters relaying state TVs
coverage of the torch to avoid neg-
ative comments and make no
mention of the conflict in Tibet.

(N0TAN OXYM0RON)
sports 4B wednesday, april 16, 2008
Almost everyone who watched
the NCAA tournament recognized
the often-played Sheraton Hotels
commercial featuring the fans of
basketballs most prominent rival-
ries acting with chivalry to one
another. Acts such as North Carolina
fan allowing a Duke fan under an
umbrella during a downpour, a
UCLA fan holding an elevator for a
frazzled USC fan and a Syracuse fan
wiping the ranch dressing off of a
Georgetown fans beard are featured
in the commercial.
Though ridiculous in its premise,
the commercials failure to recog-
nize the Kansas-Kansas State rivalry
that we value so much in Lawrence
reflects the failure nationallyit is
not seen as a top matchup. This is
why it does not seem strange for me,
a KU fan since birth, to be slightly
saddened about the early departure
of Michael Beasley and, potentially,
of Bill Walker from K-State.
Allow me to use an analogy that
I think most people will under-
stand: Wile E. Coyote and the Road
Runner. Anyone who watched the
Looney Tunes series knows that
Wile E. Coyote tried and failed to
catch the Road Runner from the
shows outset to its finale, despite
many complex strategies and
unorthodox techniques. In the end,
it was always the Coyote whose
ideas backfired and the Roadrunner
who, just by going along with its
routine, sped away to safety. In this
particular analogy, Kansas State is
Wile E. Coyote and Kansas is the
Road Runner.
For 24 years, Kansas contin-
ued to thwart Kansas States val-
iant efforts. For a long 24 years,
the Jayhawks dominated like the
Harlem Globetrotters while the
Wildcats stifled jealous looks. A 24-
year period of domination, while
still entertaining for Kansas fans,
did not do justice to the potential
that this rivalry could have had.
With the addition of Michael
Beasley, suddenly Kansas vs. Kansas
State was a
heated rivalry
again. Wile E.
Coyote had
finally found a
piece of ACME
equipment that
had a legiti-
mate chance at
capturing the
elusive Road
Runner.
B e a s l e y
i mme di at e l y
made the rivalry relevant. Before
he even began the season, he gave it
significance with his now infamous
Africa speech. He presented Kansas
State fans with new hope and a
reason to finally trash talk. And
obviously, he helped give his fans
something that most of them had
never seen in their lifetime: a vic-
tory against Kansas in Manhattan.
And as tough as that loss was to
Kansas fans, it renewed publicity to
a rivalry that had experienced some
down years.
The reason that the Duke-North
Carolina game is always dubbed
as the game of the regular season
is because it is remarkably even.
The only thing predictable in those
games is that the outcome will be
unpredictable. Both teams have
seen great players consistently walk
through their doors.
The Dukies lay claim to Grant
Hill, Elton Brand, Shane Battier
and Christian Laettner. Meanwhile,
the Tar Heels counter with Michael
Jordan, James Worthy, Vince Carter
and Tyler Hansbrough. Before
Beasley and fellow superfrosh Bill
Walker, what players did Kansas
State match up against the likes of
Danny Manning, Paul Pierce and
Nick Collison? Pervis Pasco? Not a
favorable matchup for the Wildcat
faithful.
Often lost in the Michael Beasley
hype was the key addition of Walker,
the No. 7 high school recruit in 2007,
according to Rivals.com. Though not
a great outside shooter, Walker still
found a way to obtain the identity of
a scorer, just as Keith Langford did
at Kansas four
years ago. And
most impor-
tantly, he kept
defenses from
focusing entir-
ly on Beasley.
Walker has
not signed an
agent and thus
will be eligible
for a return to
Kansas State for
his sophomore
season. But if Walker does in fact
forgo his final years of eligibility
and join Beasley in declaring for
the NBA Draft, the rivalry will lose
its spark just as quickly as it gained
prominence. The rest of the nation
will not be as interested in watching
Ron Anderson and Jacob Pullen
try to tangle with the goliaths of
Kansas as they were in witnessing
a dynamic duo take on a balanced
powerhouse.
I beg Kansas fans to remember
the day that Kansas State came to
Allen Fieldhouse. The anticipation
was tangible and spirit was sky-
high. Jayhawk fans were desper-
ate to see Beasley come into their
house and experience the Phog at
its finest. He had to be repaid for the
injustice he caused the entire town
of Lawrence. That is the feeling that
Duke fans get every time North
Carolina marches into their town.
That is the feeling of a pure rivalry,
filled with hatred and emotion.
With the loss of Beasley and
potential loss of Walker, we will
probably be forced to wait another
few years for that intense, passion-
ate rivalry to resurface. I would have
been thrilled to wait only until next
years matchup.

Carmelo Anthony apologizes
for his arrest on DUI charges
mlB
Mariners sacrifce fies down Royals
BY PAT GRAHAM
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER Nuggets All-Star
forward Carmelo Anthony said
Tuesday he was truly sorry for
his arrest on DUI charges, and
police denied giving him special
treatment, even though one officer
gave him a lift after his arrest and
another drove his car to a city lot.
Im here to man up to my mis-
take, just to let you know that
Im truly sorry for what happened
and everything thats going on,
Anthony said. What happened
Monday morning was truly and
totally unacceptable.
He spoke for about two minutes
and left without taking questions.
He didnt refer to his notes, appear-
ing instead to speak off the cuff.
The team later released a written
statement attributed to him.
Teammate Allen Iverson stood
off to the side as Anthony spoke.
Anthony acknowledged the
arrest came at a bad time, hours
before the Nuggets clinched their
fifth consecutive postseason
appearance when the Golden State
Warriors lost on Monday night.
Its kind of bad timing right
now, due to the playoffs, due to
our teams success, he said. Once
again, I just want to apologize.
Anthony was alone in his silver
Mercedes when an officer pulled
him over on Interstate 25 early
Monday for weaving and failing to
dim his lights, police said.
Detective Sharon Hahn said
Anthony was arrested after he
failed a series of sobriety tests and
was taken to police headquarters.
Hahn said a police sergeant then
drove Anthony to the Ritz-Carlton
Hotel in Denver. Hahn said its
her understanding that Anthonys
fiancee LaLa Vazquez couldnt
pick him up because of child-care
issues. The couple have a young
son together.
Another officer drove Anthonys
car to a city lot until it could be
picked up, Hahn said.
Officers said Anthony didnt get
preferential treatment.
Police spokesman Sonny
Jackson said its not a standard
practice (for an officer to give a
DUI suspect a ride), but it is done
on occasion and it is not a violation
of department policy.
Hahn said officers also have the
discretion to have suspects cars
towed to an impound lot, let a
friend or relative move it or move
it themselves.
Anthonys attorney, Dan Recht,
said his client consented to a blood
test, but results wont be available
for about two weeks. His first
court appearance is scheduled for
May 14.

Denver Nuggets forward Carmelo Anthony concludes reading a statement to apologize

NFL
Broncos sign former Chiefs
wide receiver Samie Parker
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. The
Denver Broncos on Tuesday
signed former Kansas City Chiefs
wide receiver Samie Parker to a
one-year contract.
The Broncos also signed free
agent punter Danny Baugher and
waived wide
receiver Derrick
Hamilton and
tight end Chad
Upshaw.
Parker, who
was an unre-
stricted free
agent, spent
his frst four NFL seasons with the
Chiefs, who selected him in the
fourth round of the 2004 draft
out of Oregon. He has career
numbers of 110 catches for 1,529
yards and seven touchdowns.
Parker caught 41 passes for 561
yards in 2006 before giving way
to frst-round draft pick Dwayne
Bowe. Parker had 24 catches for
298 yards and two TDs last year.

SEATTLE John McLaren
didnt need a bat or ball in spring
training. He needed a pulpit.
He preached during his first
camp as a major league manager
about the need to manufacture runs
with bunts, hitting behind runners
and taking extra bases.
The sermons paid off Tuesday
night.
Jose Lopez became the 12th
player in major league history to
hit three sacrifice flies in a game,
Yuniesky Betancourt drove in three
runs and the Seattle Mariners set a
season high for runs with an 11-6
victory over the previously stingy
Kansas City Royals.
Lopez added an RBI single while
joining Edgar Martinez as the only
other Mariners player to have three
sacrifice flies in a game.
The Mariners had five sac flies
overall to tie a major league-team
record. Seattle also did it on Aug. 7,
1988, at Oakland. Colorado had five
against Pittsburgh on June 7, 2006.
My God, I didnt know that.
Thats really cool, McLaren said,
sounding genuinely pleased that his
lessons are being used on a team
that in recent, playoff-free seasons
usually didnt score much without
home runs.
Weve preached this since spring
training. ... Im proud of these guys.
Were making headway here.
Kansas City entered with an
encouraging 8-5 record thanks to
a major league-best ERA of 2.46
following consecutive complete
games by Brian Bannister and Zack
Grienke. It was the first time the
Royals had pitched back-to-back
complete games in eight years. A
year ago, Kansas City had a 4.79
ERA through 13 games.
John Bale (0-3) allowed seven
hits and five runs in three-plus
innings.

For someone whos on top of
the world, Trevor Immelman has
spent a lot of time looking up the
last few days.
One day after becoming the
Masters champion, Immelman
was courtside at Madison Square
Garden for the Boston Celtics 99-93
victory over the New York Knicks.
He was invited to the Celtics locker
room at halftime by coach Doc
Rivers, who wanted his team to
shake hands with a champion.
There might have been a train-
er that was shorter than me, said
Immelman, who stands 5-foot-9
with the help of golf spikes. But
Im standing next to Paul Pierce and
Kevin Garnett, and Im belt-high.
Its pretty incredible that human
beings are that damn big.
Tuesday morning, he was taken
by limousine to the Empire State
Building for a photo shoot atop the
tallest building in Manhattan.
There also were TV and radio
interviews on the agenda, including
his reading of a Top 10 list on the
Late Show with David Letterman
and an appearance on Live with
Regis and Kelly.
The highlight, though, might
have been halftime.
Born and raised in South Africa,
he now lives in Orlando, Fla., and
loves the NBA. Immelman is a reg-
ular at Orlando Magic games. Even
so, he found it surreal to be among
giants in green jerseys, listening
to them praise a golfer in a green
jacket.
They were telling me they were
in Atlanta and watched the end
of the tournament, and that they
were proud of me, Immelman said.
Its kind of weird to see superstars
congratulate me on something Ive
done.
There has been a lack of sleep,
and little time for all this to sink
in.
These are things that dont hap-
pen to ordinary people, Immelman
said.
All because he did something
extraordinary.
Not since Seve Ballesteros in
1980 had a player put his name
atop the leaderboard after the first
round and stay there over four
days at Augusta National, a course
where Immelman correctly noted
that theres a disaster around every
corner. He became the first South
African to win the Masters since
Gary Player, his idol and inspira-
tion, 30 years earlier.
And he joined Tiger Woods,
Jim Furyk, David Duval and Vijay
Singh as the players to win a major
by three shots in the last 10 years.
Thats pretty hefty company,
Immelman said. It will take some
time before that sinks in.
Until his Masters victory,
Immelman said his greatest golfing
achievement had been winning the
Nedbank Challenge four months
ago in South Africa.

PHOENIX 112,
GOLDEN STATE 116
No stunning upsets on the hori-
zon for the Golden State Warriors.
They wont even be in the playoffs
this spring.
A year after shocking Western
Conference leader Dallas in the
first round of the playoffs, the
Warriors were eliminated from
contention 122-116 by Phoenix on
Monday night. The loss clinched
the eighth spot for Denver.
We gave our all, we played
hard to the end, guard Monta
Ellis said. I mean, the better team
won. Thats it.
Amare Stoudemire scored 11 of
his 28 points in the fourth quarter
and Phoenix recovered after blow-
ing a 17-point lead.
Steve Nash nearly had a triple-
double with 13 points, 14 assists
and nine rebounds as the Suns
remained in the midst of a scram-
ble for playoff positioning and
possible home-court advantage in
the first round.
Theres a lot of woulda, coulda,
shoulda, Nash said, but overall
with all things that have gone on
this year, weve put ourselves in a
good position. If we can win the
last game, we could creep into the
top four there. That would be nice,
but either way I think our team is
still getting better, and we can just
keep improving throughout the
playoffs.
UTAH 105, HOUSTON 96
At Salt Lake City, Carlos Boozer
had 21 points and 11 rebounds,
pulling the Jazz even with the
Rockets in the muddled Western
Conference standings with one
game to go.
Both teams are 54-27, but by
winning two of three against the
Rockets, the Jazz would hold
home-court advantage if they
still have identical records after
Wednesday and meet in the open-
ing round of the playoffs.
Mehmet Okur added 12 points
and 12 rebounds for the Jazz, who
won for the sixth time in seven
games and finished their home
schedule 37-4.
SAN ANTONIO 101,
SACRAMENTO 98
At Sacramento, Calif., Tony
Parker tied his season high with
32 points and added 11 assists for
San Antonio. The victory, coupled
with Houstons loss, put the Spurs
in position to clinch third place
in the conference for a second
straight season. A year ago, they
defeated Cleveland in the NBA
finals.
John Salmons led the Kings
with 29 points, Spencer Hawes
had 17, Beno Udrih scored 16 and
Garcia added 15.
Wizards 117, Pacers 110
At Washington, coach Eddie
Jordan went to his bench early
and often, getting 31 points from
Roger Mason, 14 from rookie Nick
Young and little resistance from
the Pacers defense as Indiana was
eliminated from playoff conten-
tion. Atlanta got the eighth spot
in the East.
The Wizards, who have won
five of six, entered the game with a
chance to gain home-court advan-
tage in their upcoming first-round
playoff series against Cleveland.
CLEVELAND 91,
PHILADELPHIA 90
At Philadelphia, Devin Brown
made two free throws with 0.2
seconds left after Philadelphia
was brought back from the locker
room. The Sixers appeared to have
won after Lou Williams hit a fade-
away jumper with 5.1 seconds left,
his second go-ahead basket in the
final minute. Instead, Brown was
fouled by Samuel Dalembert with
only a couple of ticks left.
The Sixers thought the game
was over and ran off the court,
while the refs huddled at midcourt
to look at the replay. The Cavaliers
stayed on the bench. After the play
was reviewed for a few minutes,
Dalembert was hit with his sixth
foul. The Sixers had to come back
and watch Brown stun them for
the controversial win.
Sixers coach Maurice Cheeks
argued with the refs and guard
Andre Miller punted the ball in
frustration.
LeBron James scored 27 points,
Zydrunas Ilgauskas had 22 and
the Cavaliers clinched home-court
advantage in the first round of the
playoffs against Washington.
CHICAGO 151,
MILWAUKEE 135
At Milwaukee, Luol Deng
scored 32 points on 15-for-20
shooting and Ben Gordon added
29 points.
The Bulls also got 22 points
and 15 assists from Chris Duhon,
and three other players finished in
double digits as Chicago fell five
points short of the franchise record
set in 1990. The Bulls shot 67 per-
cent from the field, just off a fran-
chise high set in 1981. Milwaukee
lost its seventh straight. The lone
bright spot for the Bucks was
rookie Ramon Sessions, who set
a franchise record with 24 assists.
Sessions also scored 20 points
the first 20-20 with points and
assists in franchise history.
BOSTON 99,
NEW YORK 93
At New York, Rajon Rondo had
23 points and 10 rebounds for
Boston, which improved to 65-16
despite giving Kevin Garnett, Paul
Pierce and Ray Allen the night off.
Sam Cassell added 22 points for
the Celtics.
Nate Robinson scored 26 points,
and David Lee had 12 points and
16 rebounds for the Knicks, who
fell to 23-58 and need a win in
their season finale at Indiana to
avoid tying the franchise record
for losses, last matched two years
ago during Larry Browns lone
season.
TORONTO 91, MIAMI 75
At Toronto, Rasho Nesterovic
scored 20 points, while Chris
Bosh had 15 for the Raptors, who
locked up the sixth seed in the
Eastern Conference and a first-
round matchup with Orlando.
Nesterovic was 10-for-19 from
the field, scoring double figures
for the 17th consecutive game.
Daequan Cook had 22 points
for the Heat, who lost for the 21st
time in their past 24 games.

NEW YORK Rachel
Robinson walked past cheering
construction workers and into the
Jackie Robinson Rotunda for the
first time, stood on a balcony above
the 160-foot wide floor and was
awed as she gazed at the 70-foot
high arches.
Its like walking into a cathedral
in a way, she said. I love St. Peters
in Rome, but
I dont know
if I can com-
pare this to St.
Peters.
On the 61st
a n n i v e r s a r y
of the day her
husband broke
major league
b a s e b a l l s
color barrier,
more than 330
players, man-
agers and coaches including
nine entire teams wore Jackie
Robinsons No. 42 to celebrate
the Hall of Famers accomplish-
ments. The center of the celebra-
tion was at Citi Field, the New
York Mets $800 million ballpark
under construction adjacent to
Shea Stadium.
The Mets unveiled designs for
the rotunda, which will contain
eight huge pictures of Robinson
and have an 8-foot statue of his
number in Dodger blue. It will be
the central entrance for the ball-
park, which opens in 2009, and the
Mets estimate 30,000 fans per game
will pass through.
People will say: Ill meet you
at 42. Everybody will know where
that is, Mets owner Fred Wilpon
said, lovingly putting his hand on
the back of Rachel Robinson, still
spry at age 85.
But even as her husbands legacy
was being memorialized in stone,
brick and terrazzo, a study was
released that said blacks made up
only 8.2 percent of major league
players last year, down from 8.4 per-
cent in 2006 and the lowest level in
more than two decades. The figure
was 19 percent as recently as 1995
according to Richard Lapchick of
the University of Central Floridas
Institute for Diversity and Ethics
in Sports.
Im very disappointed by that
fact, Robinson said. Competition
from other sports is certainly a big
factor but there
are many fac-
tors. Weve got
to work on it
in terms of get-
ting younger
children play-
ing, into the
game, and get-
ting communi-
ties behind the
programs.
J a c k i e
R o b i n s o n
broke the color barrier when he
played for the Brooklyn Dodgers
for the first time on April 15,
1947. His number was retired for
all major league teams during cer-
emonies at Shea Stadium attended
by President Clinton on the 50th
anni vers ar y.
Yankees reliev-
er Mariano
Rivera is the
only player
r e m a i n i n g
from then who
still wears No.
42 throughout
the season.
Nine Jackie
R o b i n s o n
scholars read
values that
defined the player during a news
conference at Shea Stadium before
people moved over to the new ball-
park. The Robinson Rotunda will
have those values engraved into its
floor and etched into its archways:
Courage. Excellence. Persistence.
Justice. Teamwork. Commitment.
Citizenship. Determination.
Integrity.
My father did not write them
down, but very much he lived these
values, said Sharon Robinson,
Jackies daughter.
The rotunda will be open to
tours by
appoi nt ment
on days when
the team isnt
playing, and
Wilpon said
he expected
every school-
child in New
York to visit,
some more
than once. He
dreamed of
the rotunda as
an homage a much larger one
to the rotunda at Ebbets Field
in Brooklyn, where he attended
games as a child.
That rotunda was 80-feet wide
and 27-feet high, with a brass chan-
delier that had 12 arms resem-
bling bats, and bulbs resembling
balls. To get the right material for
the floor, Wilpon contacted Sandy
Koufax, his old teammate from
Lafayette High School. All Koufax
remembered was the rotunda was
dirty. At a Police Athletic League
dinner, former Dodgers pitcher
Ralph Branca told Wilpon it was
terrazzo.
This is an overwhelming
experience, Robinson said. At
my stage of life, youre looking
for permanence, youre looking for
things that are going to shore up
the future. So many times develop-
ments dont last, progress doesnt
last. What the rotunda means to
me is we have evidence of the prog-
ress weve made in the past.
She stood next to Wilpon, a
longtime family friend. When he
was about 16, he was a Dodgers
batting practice pitcher and became
a baby sitter for the Robinsons. Hes
long thought about creating this
tribute.
When fans and families and
children walk through that rotun-
da, Robinson said, I hope theyre
going to reflect on not just what
they see that Jackie Robinson
accomplished, but also think about
themselves and say, What am I
doing? How am I running my life?
Who am I affecting? What am I
doing in my community? I think
they ask the question and ponder
on that. And if people begin to
reflect on that, they might want to
join the struggle.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. D.J.
Williams is used to moving around
the Denver
Broncos defense,
but he hopes
this latest move
sticks.
Williams has
played all three
linebacker posi-
tions in his four-
year career, and
for 2008 he is
going from mid-
dle linebacker
back to the weak
side, a position he played through
college and in his rookie year of
2004.
I enjoyed playing (middle) last
year, I had fun, he said. I thought
I caught on well at the end, but the
team decided to move me back
to (weak side), so thats what Im
doing.
Switching positions has been an
every year occurrence for Williams,
but it hasnt been easy.
I havent been happy about the
movement, but I like the organiza-
tion, I like the city, Williams said
Tuesday at the Broncos practice
facility. I understand why I had
to move; it made the team better.
Sometimes its always not best for
you.
Williams size hes listed at
6-foot-1, 242 pounds made
him a versatile guy in the Denver
defense.
I already feel like a little knock-
around guy, like hey, we can put
him here, we can throw him there,
he said. Just as long as I was suc-
cessful at each position.
Williams moved to strong-side
linebacker his second year, back to
weak side in his third year and last
year he moved to the middle. He
said his best position is weak side,
but by moving around he has made
himself a valuable player.
If I would have played (weak
side) every year here, this would be
my ninth year playing (it) because
I played it all through college,
he said. A
lot of things
come second
nature. But
at the same
time, the fact
that I changed
a lot of posi-
tions, it puts
your value
up. Youre a
guy who can
be put any-
where.
Despite a strong statistical year
in 2007, Williams feels hes better at
weak side linebacker than at middle
linebacker. Williams was second in
the NFL in tackles with 170, 121
unassisted. He easily surpassed his
previous high of 114, 82 unassisted,
that he reached as a rookie.
Williams best game came
at Oakland on Dec. 6 when he
had 16 tackles, 12 unassisted, and
recovered a fumble. In two games
against the Raiders, Williams had
29 tackles.

Former KU player to coach at USF
BY JOSH DUBOW
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO San
Francisco lured former NBA play-
er Rex Walters away from Florida
Atlantic to take over its struggling
basketball program.
Walters, who had a 31-33 record
in two seasons for the Owls, was
formally introduced at a news con-
ference Monday.
The University of San Francisco
is a national name and we need to
be a national basketball program,
Walters said. The challenge of that
really excited me.
Walters takes over for Jessie
Evans, who was forced to take a
leave of absence in the middle of
last season and then was fired last
month. Eddie Sutton took over the
program on an interim basis for the
remainder of the season as the Dons
finished 10-21 in their third straight
losing season.
USF has struggled in recent
years to compete with West Coast
Conference power Gonzaga, and
has also fallen behind Saint Marys,
San Diego and Santa Clara in recent
years in the conference.
Walters said his goal is to hang
banners at a school that won
NCAA titles in 1955 and 56 with
Bill Russell but has not been to the
NCAA tournament since 1998.
Theres something special here.
Theres something special about the
city, Walters said. I told the guys
they will all come in with a blank
slate. I dont worry so much about
what happened in the past. Im here
to talk about USF basketball today
and in the future.
Walters inherits a roster led by
Dior Lowhorn, who was No. 1 in
the WCC in scoring at 20.5 points
per game last season.
Walters will be the third new
coach in the eight-team WCC, join-
ing Tom Asbury at Pepperdine and
Bill Bayno at Loyola Marymount.
Walters spent one year as an
assistant at Florida Atlantic before
taking over the program when
Matt Doherty left to coach SMU.
The Owls went 16-15 in Walters
first season, before falling to 15-
18 this season. Walters previously
spent two years as an assistant at
Valparaiso.
Walters began his college career
at Northwestern. He transferred to
Kansas and played his final two col-
lege seasons under Roy Williams.
Walters averaged 15.6 points per
game with the Jayhawks, helping
the team reach the Final Four in
1993.
Walters said he wouldnt be
where he was if not for the time
he spent with Williams. He also
thanked some of his NBA coaches,
Chuck Daly, Larry Brown and Pat
Riley, for helping his progress.
Walters was selected 16th overall
by New Jersey in the 1993 NBA
draft and played seven seasons for
the Nets, Philadelphia and Miami.
He averaged 4.6 points per game in
his career.

NEW YORK A construction
workers bid to curse the New York
Yankees by planting a Boston Red
Sox jersey in their new stadium
was foiled Sunday when the home
team removed the offending shirt
from its burial spot.
After locating the shirt in a
service corridor behind what will
be a restaurant in the new Yankee
Stadium, construction workers
jackhammered through the con-
crete Sunday and pulled it out.
The team said it learned that a
Sox-rooting construction worker
had buried a shirt in the new
Bronx stadium, which will open
next year across the street from
the current ballpark, from a report
in the New York Post on Friday.
Yankees President Randy
Levine said team officials at first
considered leaving the shirt there.
The first thought was, you
know, its never a good thing to be
buried in cement when youre in
New York, Levine said. But then
we decided, why reward some-
body who had really bad motives
and was trying to do a really bad
thing?
On Saturday, construction
workers who knew the employee,
Gino Castignoli, phoned in tips
about the shirts location.
We had anonymous people
come tell us where it was, and we
were able to find it, said Frank
Gramarossa, a project executive
with Turner Construction, the
general contractor on the site.
It took about five hours of drill-
ing Saturday to locate the shirt
under 2 feet of concrete, he said.
On Sunday, Levine and
Yankees CEO Lonn Trost watched
as Gramarossa and foreman Rich
Corrado finished the job and
pulled the shirt from the rubble.
In shreds from the jackham-
mers, the shirt still bore the letters
Red Sox on the front. It was a
David Ortiz jersey, No. 34.
Trost said the Yankees had dis-
cussed possible criminal charges
against Castignoli with the dis-
trict attorneys office.
We will take appropriate
action since fortunately we do
know the name of the individual,
he said.

pitching staff woes
The Jayhawks announced
another blow to the pitching
staf Tuesday night. Sophomore
left-handed pitcher Wally Marciel
will miss the rest of the season
with a torn ligament in his pitch-
ing elbow.
Im confdent that the sur-
gery will be a complete success
and that Wally will make a 100

Price said in a press release Tues-
day. Hes going to receive the
best medical care in the country.
This is the second injury to
a pitcher this season, after the
Jayhawks lost junior pitcher
Andy Marks to a continuance of a
shoulder injury.
I have incredible respect
for both young men, who have
worked incredibly hard for us,
Price said in the release. The
most important thing is that we
do what is in the best interest for
both players.
Mo. state up next on

The Jayhawks will be hosting
Missouri State Wednesday at 6
p.m. and will be featuring a fan
favorite. For those students on
a tight budget, Kansas will be
holding 25-cent hotdog night.
First of all, 25-cent hotdog
night brings out fans that are
normally not baseball fans, said
Matt Baty, baseball marketing
coordinator. We hope that we
can attract some new people and
hopefully in the end gain some
new Kansas baseball fans.
