Research library gets
Sci-Fi writers works
The works of a pioneer in science fc-
tion literature will live long and pros-
per at the Spencer Research Library.
More than 60 people gathered last
night to celebrate the addition of the
most comprehensive collection of
late writer Theodore Sturgeons
works to the Spencer Research Li-
braries collection.
Sturgeon wrote two scripts for
the Star Trek television series. His
most famous contribution to sci-
ence fction and pop culture is the
Vulcan salutation live long and
prosper. The Blue Man Group, The
Grateful Dead and Kurt Vonnegut all
referenced Sturgeon in their work as
well.
Rebecca Smith, director of com-
munications for the KU libraries,
said the collection is remarkable
because of its diversity. Sturgeons
daughter, Noel Sturgeon, gifted the
$600,000 collection of her fathers
works to KU.
This is the defnitive collection
of Sturgeons materials. We have his
manuscripts, personal pages, corre-
spondence, and books, Smith said.
Sturgeon worked closely with the
Center for the Study of Science Fic-
tion before his death in 1985.
Having his works and papers
detailing his process will impact the
teaching research and learning in
science fction, Smith said.
Getting Sturgeons works to Law-
rence was a collaborative effort. The
Spencer Research Library worked
closely with the English department
to bring Sturgeons works to the
heartland.
Curators at the Spencer Research
Library are processing the collection.
Librarians are reviewing and docu-
menting each work to add to their
online database. Students can come
into the Spencer Research Library
and review the collection.

KU offcials pleased with
new regent appointees
Gov. Sam Brownback announced new
members to the Kansas Board of Regents
last week, and because of their back-
grounds its no surprise that some at the
University of Kansas are looking forward
to his frst three appointments: Fred Lo-
gan Jr., a former Kansas Republican Party
chairman, Robba Addison Moran, wife of
U.S. Sen. Jerry Moran, and former state
Rep. Kenny Wilk.
Wilk retired in 2009 as a commercial
sales executive at Hallmark Cards and is
now a consultant on community outreach
and strategic planning. He served in the
Kansas House of Representatives for 16
years, chairing both the House Appropria-
tions and Taxation committees. He was
co-author of the Kansas Economic Growth
Act, which created the Kansas Bioscience
Authority.
Logan, a lawyer, is a partner at Logan
Logan and Watson in Prairie Village. He
has served on the Johnson County Com-
munity College Board of Trustees, the
Greater Kansas City Chamber of Com-
merce and the Shawnee Mission School
District Committee of Excellence.
Moran, also a lawyer, worked as a law
associate at Stinson Morrison Hecker in
Kansas City and as an assistant profes-
sor of business and a music staff accom-
panist at Fort Hays State University.
Diane Goddard, vice provost for ad-
ministration and fnance, said that her
offce looks forward to working with the
new board members because of their
backgrounds with higher education and
leadership experience.
Were committed to cooperating with
the board and we know that they will show
support to us as well, Goddard said.
Goddard said that the new appoint-
ments have shown an understanding of
how important higher education is for the
states economy, noting the research at
the University of Kansas Cancer Center
that could lead to it receiving a National
Cancer Institute designation.
Jack Martin, deputy director of public
affairs, said that because of their back-
grounds, the three new members will be
committed to excellence and will contin-
ue the beliefs that the Board of Regents
shares.
Along with many other things, the
Board administers the states student f-
nancial assistance programs. According
to the Kansas Board of Regents website,
over $20 million in-state funding was
made available for student fnancial as-
sistance. Over 13,000 students received
state fnancial assistance through 16
scholarship, grant, waiver and other
programs.
The Board advocates access and is
eager to prepare students for successful
careers, Martin said.

trafc jams expected with
Sixth Street construction
Lawrence road crews began road con-
struction on parts of Sixth Street Tues-
day, July 12. The $1.2 million project may
cause headaches and confusion among
local drivers.
Crews started the repaving process be-
tween Kentucky and Massachusetts streets
where they will be milling and overlaying
the road. Construction will cause various
lane closures on Sixth Street.
There will only be one lane traffc avail-
able in each direction. Megan Gilliland,
communications manager, said the most
important thing would be to use the West
exit to lessen congestion at Sixth and
Massachusetts streets.
After completing the overlay between
Kentucky and Massachusetts streets, the
crews will start again at Kentucky Street
and work towards Missouri Street.
The construction will continue moving
west on Sixth until it reaches Iowa Street.
The whole process is expected to conclude
on Aug. 12, weather permitting.
Kentucky Street will be undergoing
another construction project starting July
15. The Lawrence Utilities Department will
replace waterlines on Kentucky from 19th
to 12th streets, 9th Street from Vermont to
Tennessee streets, 18th Street from Ten-
nessee to Kentucky streets, 13th Street
from Tennessee to Vermont streets and
Tennessee Street from 9th to 10th streets.
Traffc on 18th and 13th streets will
be restricted as work is being completed
along with the work on Kentucky Street.
The construction project will affect
one lane of traffc on Kentucky as park-
ing and the easternmost travel lane will
be closed.

US strikes in Pakistan
follow aid cut, kill 42
(Dera Ismail Khan, Pakistan) Four
suspected U.S. missile strikes in north-
western Pakistan in less than 24 hours
killed at least 42 alleged militants, an
unusually heavy barrage at a time when
relations between the two countries are
badly strained, Pakistani intelligence of-
fcials said Tuesday.
The strikes follow the Obama admin-
istrations announcement that it is sus-
pending more than one-third of U.S. mili-
tary aid to Pakistan until disagreements
are worked out. The attacks indicate the
White House has no intention of stopping
the drone program even though the at-
tacks have increasingly caused tension
with Pakistan.
The barrage began late Monday when
suspected U.S. missiles hit a house in
Gorvak village in North Waziristan, kill-
ing at least 20 alleged militants, said two
Pakistani intelligence offcials. Two other
Pakistani intelligence offcials put the
death toll at 23. The village is very close to
the border and is often used as a route for
militants to cross into Afghanistan.
Israel opens traditional jesus
baptism site in West Bank
(Qasr El-Yahud, West Bank) Israel
opened the traditional baptism site of
Jesus to daily visits Tuesday, a move that
required the cooperation of Israels military
and the removal of nearby mines in the
West Bank along the border with Jordan.
The location, where many believe John
the Baptist baptized Jesus in the waters of
the Jordan River, is one of the most impor-
tant sites in Christianity.
Until now, it was opened several times
a year in coordination with the Israeli mili-
tary, but because of its sensitive location,
it had not been regularly open to the public
since Israel captured the site from Jordan,
along with the rest of the West Bank, in the
1967 Mideast war.
That war left the site in a heavily mined
no-mans land along a hostile frontier until
Israel and Jordan signed a peace treaty in
1994.
US: Syrias Assad failed to
prove himself legitimate
(Beirut, Lebanon) Syria accused
Washington of provocation Tuesday
after the U.S. said President Bashar
Assad had lost legitimacy and the
American administration had nothing
invested in him remaining in power.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rod-
ham Clinton issued her strongest
condemnation yet of Assad late Mon-
day after mobs of hundreds of regime
supporters attacked the American
and French embassies in Damascus,
smashing windows and spray-painting
obscenities on the walls. Three French
Embassy employees were injured.
The attacks also prompted with-
ering criticism from France, which
called for the U.N. Security Council to
condemn Syria. Germany added to the
pressure, as well, saying international
law obliges Syria to protect diplomatic
missions.
The U.S. and France both accused
Syrian forces of being too slow to re-
spond.
Leon Panetta makes his shaky debut in Iraq
(Baghdad, Iraq) At once blunt and bubbly, poised but prone
to gaffes, Leon Panetta showed on his frst overseas trip as Pen-
tagon chief that he has framed his agenda but not yet mastered
the art of expressing it publicly in detail.
In a talk to troops in Afghanistan he said he was the CIA di-
rector (his previous job). The next day he invoked the language
of George W. Bush in saying the U.S. is at war in Iraq because
al-Qaida attacked on 9/11 a message that runs counter to
view of his boss, President Barack Obama.
Panetta, 73, told reporters at the outset of his fve-day journey
that his main aim was to personally thank U.S. troops for their
work and sacrifces over a decade of war. He is following in the
footsteps of a popular defense secretary, Robert Gates, for whom
troop welfare was a signature issue.
US breaks rules in detainee
visit access, UN offcals say
(Geneva, Switzerland) The United Na-
tions torture investigator on Tuesday ac-
cused the United States of violating U.N.
rules by refusing him unfettered access to
the Army private accused of passing clas-
sifed documents to WikiLeaks.
Juan Mendez, the U.N.s special rappor-
teur for torture, said he cant do his job un-
less he has unmonitored access to detain-
ees. He said the U.S. militarys insistence
on monitoring conversations with Bradley
Manning violates long-standing rules
the U.N. follows for visits to inmates.
Manning has been detained by the U.S.
military for most of the past year in a case
pitting the U.S. government against advo-
cates of transparency in government. The
Army private stands accused of being the
source of a trove of sensitive documents
about the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
Russia marks 450 years of
St. Basils Cathedral head
(Moscow, Russias) He was naked,
homeless and fercely argumentative
and his name is immortalized in one of
Russias most remarkable buildings, St.
Basils Cathedral.
An exhibition detailing the lives of St.
Basil and other religious zealots known
as holy fools opened Tuesday as part
of ceremonies marking the 450th an-
niversary of perhaps Moscows most
famous tourist attraction.
After years of restoration work that
cost 390 million rubles ($14 million)
including the reinforcement of the walls
and the pile of brightly
colored onion domes and
spires that crown the ar-
chitectural fantasia the
iconic church looks lavish,
and a striking contrast to the
extreme asceticism that the holy fools
practiced.
Although originally named the Ca-
thedral of the Intercession of the Virgin
by the Moat, most know it as St. Basils,
referring to Basil the Blessed, a Musco-
vite holy fool who was buried on the
original site before the present building
was erected.

At least one in six people in Douglas County needs assistance to feed themselves or their
families.
By MeG LoWry
mlowry@kansan.com
Damien St. Julien knows what it is
like to be hungry.
When his daughter, Dacia, was
only two years old, St. Julien was laid
of. A single dad, he struggled to make
ends meet. For nearly three months,
he would regularly skip meals, barely
able to put food on the table for his
daughter every night.
Now, St. Julien not only puts food
on the table for his three-year-old
daughter, he also helps provide food
for all of Douglas County.
As a single dad, I get it, said St.
Julien, the warehouse manager at Just
Food, the Douglas County food bank,
1200 E. 11th St. People come in and
I never judge them, because I know
what it is like to be hungry.
Tis week, the annual KU Summer
Staf Food Drive will be collecting
food donations and money donations
to donate to Just Food.
Te food drive benefts a cause very
relevant to the community. At least
one in six people in Douglas County
needs assistance to feed themselves or
their families.
When people realize that there
is a need, and a demand, they really
come through, St. Julien said. Espe-
cially the community at KU.
To use the services at Just Food, cli-
ents must fall below the 185th percent
of the federal poverty line. Clients
must also have proof of being Douglas
County residents.
Tis year is the frst year monetary
donations have been accepted.
St. Julien says the food bank sees
between 36 and 72 clients a day. Cli-
ents pick up food once every 30 days.
No one should be ashamed, St. Ju-
lien said. Everyone knows someone,
who is in a tight spot or maybe has
lost their job.
Te Summer Staf Food Drive
hopes to help keep the shelves stocked
during the remainder of the summer.
Donations almost always drop during
the summer months, and University
donations can help combat the short-
age.
Nikki Ware, a volunteer employee
at Just Food, says she is touched by
the generosity KU students show
throughout the year.
I see kids that are 18 or 19 come
in, and they are bringing whatever
they can just to help, Ware said. Its
just very special to see students doing
that on their own time.
Te Summer Staf Food Drive is a
convenient way for students to get in-
volved this week. Until Friday, dona-
tion sites will be located throughout
campus. Monetary donations can be
made at Just Foods website, eckan.
org/justfood.
Tere is absolutely no reason any-
one in Lawrence should go without
food, St. Julien said. Whether they
live under a bridge or in a mansion,
no one here should be hungry. Tere
is enough for everyone.

Jobs have extreme highs and lows
BY BRITTANY NELSON
bnelson@kansan.com
Whether spending hours in a
30-degree freezer or standing over
a 400-degree stove, temperature can
have a major efect on people As
blasting heat continues in Lawrence,
workers who slave away in extreme
weather discuss the pros and cons of
working in uncomfortable environ-
ments.
hot: Roofing
Working atop a roof under a
100-degree sun is probably one
of the most blistering jobs in the
summer. Darin Lutz, owner of Al-
pha Roofers LLC, 2736 Oregon St.,
said that it is wise to work on the
roof early in the morning or late in
the evening to avoid the peak heat
hours.
Its smart to wear long sleeves,
pants, a hat and light-colored cloth-
ing to protect yourself from the
sun, Lutz said. In the summer, Lutz
said the workers keep water and Ga-
torade jugs on the ground and take
frequent breaks.
We had one incident where a
man didnt eat all day and got a little
sick from the heat, but weve never
had someone have a heat stroke,
Lutz said.
Roofers usually work March
through November, or as long as
weather permits.
cool: ice cReam
Kaylee Daily puts on her sweat-
shirt every time she has to go to the
back freezer at Cold Stone Cream-
ery, 647 Mass. St.
In the summer months, it doesnt
get that cold unless you go into the
freezer, Daily said. Cold Stone has
three freezers, one that is 20 degrees
below zero, one for backup ice cream
that is two degrees below zero and
the last freezer for ice cream that
is about to be served is at around 3
degrees.
hot: gaRbage collection
Craig Pruett, once a trash loader
and now the operations supervisor
at Lawrence Trash and Yard Collect,
1140 Haskell Ave., said that loading
trash can be fun and it is a great job
for people who love to be outside
and be mobile around the city.
Although it may be an enjoyable
ride, trash pickup is the ninth most
dangerous job in the U.S., according
to businessinsider.com. Last year,
a man was killed in Leavenworth
from working on the trash truck. He
hopped of the step and the driver
accidentally backed up over him.
Workers go through an exten-
sive training program. People can
fall into compacts, trucks have car
accidents and people on the back
step get run into by other cars, Pru-
ett said.
With safety gear and precautions,
trash staf members take many steps
to ensure their safety, and the sum-
mer months are more uncomfort-
able than the winter, so the staf is
supplied with plenty of water and
Gatorade, Pruett said.
cool: meat hooks
Charles Atherton, assistant meat
marketing manager at Dillons Gro-
cery, 1015 W 23 St., said that afer
12 years of working in the meat de-
partment he is used to the cold.
Te meat has be stored 40 de-
grees or under otherwise itll go bad,
Atherton said. People wear jackets
and warm clothes, but he usually
wears a T-shirt, he said. Tere are
other physical dagers besides cold,
though. He has more than a decade
of meat cutting under his belt and
no problem with his hands of joints
as of now, but Atherton said arthri-
tis is inevitable.
My boss, whos been doing this
for 30 years, just had carpel tunnel
surgery. Teres a high percentage of
arthritis in this line of work, Ather-
ton said.
Arthritis aside, Atherton said his
favorite part of working in the meat
department was the camaraderie
with people.
hot: chef
Standing over a faming sauce-
pan or pulling fresh bread out of a
400-degree oven is no sweat for Rick
Martin, executive chef at Free State
Brewery, 636 Mass. St.
We try to keep air moving, we
give people frequent breaks and we
ofer neckbands with ice to keep
them cool, Martin said.
Cooks also have an incentive to
work hard during the hot months.
Martin said that if the heat index
outside goes beyond a certain point,
cooks get a bonus in their hourly
wage.
Te cooks get paid more so it
makes the heat a little better, Mar-
tin said.
With 25 to 30 diferent menu
items at Free State Brewery and an
incentive to work hard, working
with extreme temperatures is not as
bad as people think, Martin said.

cool: liquoR cave
Working in a room with hundreds
of stacked beer and liquor boxes and
music blaring in the background is
many college students dream. Tory
Roberson works in the beer cave at
On the Rocks, 1818 Massachusetts
St. for about eight hours a day, fve
days a week.
My favorite part is the stereo that
just got installed in the beer cave
and working at my own pace, Rob-
erson said.
In the mornings, the beer cave
temperature is set at 28-30 degrees
and in the afernoon heats up to 36
degrees because of customers com-
ing in and out of the cave, he said.
Roberson said he was used to the
temperature but sometimes wears a
hat and long sleeves.
I get sicker than normal in the
winter because the heater is on in

setts St.
the rest of the store, and I am con-
stantly in and out of the beer cave,
sweating and then being cold,
Roberson said.
Robersons other favorite part
about the job is people watching.
Its not bad watching all the
ladies come back in the summer-
time, Roberson said.

Te University of Kansas is in the
process of awarding honorary degrees
for the frst time, but information on
honorary degree nominees is being
treated with top-secret care.
Susan Kemper, psychology profes-
sor and committee leader for honorary
degrees, will not even reveal how many
candidates have been submitted.
We dont want nominees to be dis-
appointed if they are not chosen, she
said. We dont want this to turn into
some kind of lobbying campaign or
popularity campaign.
Te Kansas Board of Regents
amended a policy that banned regent
universities from giving honorary de-
grees last month, said Vanessa Lamor-
eaux, Kansas Board of Regents spokes-
person. It is not clear when or why the
original policy that banned honorary
degrees was put in efect, Lamoreaux
said.
With the recent amendment to the
policy, the University is now able to
award four diferent honorary degrees:
a doctor of laws, science, arts or letter,
Jack Martin, KU spokesperson said.
Tis is a way for recipients to have
their contributions recognized by a top
university, Martin said.
Anyone can submit a nominee by
flling out a candidate submission
form available on the chancellors web-
site. Te publics deadline to submit a
nominee is Aug. 15.
Kemper said the committee is look-
ing for candidates who have made a
fundamental contribution to society
as whole and changed the way we view
our world and ourselves.
Tis is designed to honor people
who make outstanding contributions
not just to the university but to society
at large, Martin said.
Te committee will select candidates
from the pool the public submitted to
present to the chancellor. Te chan-
cellor will then evaluate the selected
candidates to present to the Board of
Regents, which will select the honor-
ary degree recipients.
Kemper said she expected the
Board of Regents to announce the re-
cipients for May commencement in
early spring.
Te chancellor will honor the re-
cipients at May commencement with
plaques and hoods. It is a possibil-
ity for recipients to make a speech at
commencement, but depends on the
recipient, Kemper said.
Kemper hopes this will be a way for
the University to show its judgment
of academic excellence to the interna-
tional community, she said.
It is interesting that KU has, in re-
cent memory, never given honorary
degrees because most universities do,
Kemper said.

NASA
Students not detoured by last launch
BY BRITTANY NELSON
bnelson@kansan.com
Te fnal American space shuttle
launched into space last Friday. Be-
cause of budget cuts from the gov-
ernment and technological advance-
ments, NASA is saying goodbye to
its long space shuttle run. Tis will
create many changes for students
studying astronomy and aerospace
engineering.
Steve Hawley, professor of physics
and astronomy and former astro-
naut, has been to space fve times.
Hawley thinks students need to work
extra hard academically because the
job market in space engineering will
be tough.
Tere may not be as many jobs
available. Te best major for jobs is
aerospace engineering. Architectural
engineering students can also design
habitats in space, Hawley said.
Tristan Moody, a doctoral student
in mechanical engineering from
Lawrence, was one of one hundred
people hand-picked to watch Atlan-
tis launch into space from a private
NASA suite in Cape Canaveral, Fla.
With his passion for space, Moody
thinks this is not the end of space
shuttles.
Tey have plans for future mis-
sions. Tere are private companies
who want to launch shuttles in the
next three years, Moody said.
But Moody said the current situa-
tion for space isnt the best. In 2003,
there were 16,000 NASA employees.
Tere are now 6,700 employees and
at the summer there will be about
1,000.
Despite the downfall, Moody re-
mains hopeful.
We went to the moon 40 years
ago but only scratched the surface to
what we are doing, Moody said.
In order to go upward in this situ-
ation, Hawley said, he advised stu-
dents to work hard and strive for

If you dont like math, you need
to know how to do it. You need to
love astronomy because that is what
you will be doing in your career,
Hawley said.

ture.
Te space shuttle might be over,
but the space shuttle cant do every-
thing, Bettoni said.
NASA has been sending robots to
conquer dangerous missions as well
as trying to launch new technologies
to help speed up the research pro-
cess.
Every time I see the movie Apollo
13 or watch documentaries with as-
tronauts I think, man I wish I could
go to the moon, Bettoni said.
Moody has some advice.
Students need to dive into core
math and science courses. Tey re-
ally have to love it to be able to do
it well, because they are all used in
space engineering, Moody said.

A $5,000 fne and other tales from the lot
BY MATT GALLOWAY
mgalloway@kansan.com
One University staf member has
totaled a record $4,830 in parking
tickets since January 2007.
Perhaps even more surprising
than the record 255 tickets the em-
ployee has received is the number of
appeals they have fled: zero.
Donna Hultine, director of Park-
ing and Transit, did not reveal the
employees name but said the situa-
tion was one of the strangest in her
30 years with Parking and Transit.
Its boggling to me as to why they
would spend almost $5,000, Hul-
tine said. Plus, the permit that they
buy is $230 a year. It doesnt make
any sense to me.
Te employee is not tenured
enough to buy a permit closer to
their buildings entrance, Hultine
said.
A ticket can be appealed within
10 business days. From there, the
Court of Parking Appeals, also re-
ferred to as Trafc Court, deter-
mines the validity of the claim.
In the last two completed fs-
cal years, fned drivers fled a total
of 2,165 appeals. Of those submis-
sions, 737 were granted, or slightly
more than 34 per-
cent. Te depart-
ment collected
$1,539,448 in
ticket revenue for
the two-year pe-
riod, which it used
partially to repair
campus roads and
parking lots.
In some situa-
tions, Parking and Transit will void
a ticket before it reaches the appeals
process, Hultine said.
When its something that we
cant see clearly, thats what the court
is there for, Hultine said.
Ali Serum, a sophomore from
Olathe, successfully had one of her
tickets overturned before it reached
the appeals process. Last April, a
meter ate all her change outside
the Robinson Center. When she re-
turned, she discovered a ticket on
her windshield.
She wrote Parking and Transit an
e-mail that night and said the ticket
was unfair. A few days later, the de-
partment returned the e-mail tell-
ing her the ticket had been voided,
Serum said.
Serum received four other tickets
last year but the April fne was the
only one she appealed.
I do feel it is a reasonable pro-
cess, Serum said. Tere are other
times when it feels like you have two
minutes lef and theyre waiting to
write you a ticket. Tey seem kind
of like vultures wanting money, but
they can be understandable because
they did help me with my situa-
tion.
Te Court of Parking Appeals is
led by a student chief justice who is
elected by fellow
student judges at
the end of every
spring semester,
according to the
University Senate
Rules and Regula-
tions.
Its a court of
equity, not really
a court of law,
Hultine said. Te court looks at ex-
tenuating circumstances.
If a situation is out of a ticketed
drivers control, such as a vehicle
breakdown or a sudden illness, the
appeal is likely to be granted, Hul-
tine said. However, Hultine said not
all of the appeals fled are exactly
reasonable.
Tere was a student who wrote
that she had a yellow permit and
she thought that meant she could
park on a yellow curb, Hultine said.
[Other examples] escape me right
now. Tey kind of all run together. Chris Bronson/KANSAN
In some situations, tickets will be voided before reaching the appeals process.
When its something we

cant see clearly, thats
what the court is there
for.

A friend of mine recently
went on a date with a girl with
whom he had connected through
Facebook.
Over a few chats that spanned
a week or so, they agreed to meet
up in the flesh, get to know each
other and maybe French kiss.
Everything went fine, he
said, until they actually met up.
Where she seemed cool online
based on her Likes, Activities
and Facebook chat quips, in
reality she wasnt a fair repre-
sentation of those traits. She was
socially awkward and boring.
In other words, the girl was just
Facebook hot.
I cant blame my friend for
this oversight because its pretty
common. You meet a friend of
a friend in a poorly-lit area and
add her later on Facebook in
hopes that she might be inter-
esting or interested in you. Her
Activities are sturdy enough:
running, grilling out, hip-hop
dancing. Her Likes match yours:
Family Guy, Wes Anderson, Lil
Wayne.
She seems like someone you
could jive with. But therein lies
the problem. When we get to
know someone based on how
they are represented on the
Internetas opposed to judging
them face to facewe arent get-
ting the whole picture.
For one thing, our Facebook
accounts are crafted to make
ourselves seem fun. Its an image
manipulated by the user to be
something that others will like.
The boring, banal, or creepy
stuff gets left off. What we really
like (for the record: torture
movies, decaf coffee, weeping
quietly) we dont transmit for
others to mock.
The other downside is
that everyone seems cool on
Facebook chat. From one end
of the computer, its difficult
to discern the emotions and
motivations of what a person is
saying. When we cant see the
other persons face and we cant
hear their voice, messages can be
mistaken.
My mother once said, Dont
ever refuse a first date. You never
know what the other person is
really like until you meet them.
While that may have worked
thirty years ago, its only half
applicable now.
I say, go on dates with people.
Real dates where you can hold
hands and get nervous and stuff.
If you like the person, add him
or her on Facebook after the
date.
At the end of the day, poking
is so much more fun in real life
than on over the Internet.
Stephens is a junior in English
from Dodge City.
In the wake of the 2008
financial crisis, lawmakers and
pundits have been stressing the
need of the American people
to make great sacrifices. With
the country quickly approaching
the debt ceiling, the talks have
been growing more serious and
the proposals more drastic. But
despite the fact that the propos-
als in Washington are growing
more extreme, the debate over
what needs to be done about the
economy seems quite narrow.
The debate simply breaks
down to this: just how much
should we cut? Granted, the
idea of a tax hike for the super
wealthy is being discussed as a
viable option. But with the cur-
rent political climate and with so
many deficit hawks on Capitol
Hill, I for one am feeling some-
what pessimistic as to whether a
sufficient tax increase will hap-
pen. What does seem certain,
however, is about four trillion
dollars in entitlements cuts.
Politicians on both sides of
the aisle have been assuring
Americans that such cuts are
truly best for the people and
the economy. Does their dema-
goguery hold up? Of course not
though it is whats best for
the corporate elites who fear a
significant tax hike to cover the
debt and the inflation that would
inevitably occur if the economy
were to rebound quickly.
So, as per usual, Washington is
siding with its friends in the busi-
ness community and its represen-
tatives on K Street at the expense
of the rest of us. Anyone who is
serious about creating jobs and
seeing economic growth in the
U.S. knows that draconian auster-
ity measures will only exasperate
an already dire problem.
With so many debt incumbent
Americans struggling to pay their
health insurance, their mort-
gage, college debt, credit card
debt and with unemployment,
underemployment and poverty as
high as they are in this country
most Americans are tighten-
ing their spending, in an attempt
to offset their own balance
sheetssubsequently hindering
economic growth. Further cuts
to social security, Medicaid and
privatizing Medicare (which will
undoubtedly be more expensive),
will only result in even tighter
spending and a stagnating, if not
weaker economy.
Nobel prizewinning economist
Joseph Stiglitz understands this
perfectly well. Stiglitz not only
predicted the crash but also the
kind of entitlement cuts in our
midst and their negative impli-
cations. Furthermore, he has
contended numerous times since
the fall of 2008 that if people are
not spending the government has
an obligation to create another
stimulus package to relieve the
burden of the many struggling
Americans and to encourage
spending.
Regrettably these ideas, which
proved quite effective in the
post-war period, are nowhere
to be heard in todays political
dialogue. This is not terribly sur-
prising given the limited govern-
ment dogma that has permeated
political discourse for decades.
Nonetheless, it is terribly disap-
pointing to only hear of propos-
als that are not only bad for the
economy, but more importantly,
proposals that will hurt millions
of Americans.
With so many people strug-
gling to get by, Americans should
be looking less towards the empty
promises of politicians and more
towards the bona fide examples
of democracy the world has
recently witnessed in Wisconsin,
Spain and Greece. The struggle
against austerity measures and
market fundamentalism overall
is no easy task, but it is a far
better alternative than the daily
economic struggle facing most
Americans.

Traditions abound in Hindu wedding ceremonies
BY KYLIE NUTT
knutt@kansan.com
It was a tradition, now its a style.
Even though white horses in wed-
dings are more popular in India than
in the U.S., some Hindu Americans
have fun with the popular custom.
Gypsy, a 10-year-old quarter horse
paint mix, looks white as snow and
was sought to be in a wedding in
Lawrence on May 17.
Lisa Hendrix-Mooney, Gypsys
owner, was excited for Gypsy to be
in a Hindu wedding. Te horse had
never done anything like that.
A few weeks ago, Hendrix-Mooney
posted an ad on Craigslist for Gypsy
to do more weddings.
It was a neat experience, Hen-
drix-Mooney said. It was beautiful.
It is a Hindu tradition for grooms
to ride on a white horse to the wed-
ding ceremony, said Sammi Sangam,
owner of Curry in a Hurry, 1111
Massachusetts St., and wedding at-
tendee.
Its like a knight in the shining ar-
mor, Sangam said.
Grooms ride on a white horse to
the wedding venue because they are
supposed to be treated like royalty.
Sangam said. According to ancient
traditions, girls were considered a
burden because they were expensive,
which is why the groom, who will
be her provider, is treated this way,
Sangam said.
Many Indian families save money
their entire lives and are on the look-
out for potential husbands so their
daughters can get married. It is seen
as a privilege because the groom
is doing the family a favor, Sangam
said.
Te groom and horse are decked
in jewelry and rich colors, usually
red, white and gold. Te groom
wears any dress that is ft for a king,
Sangam said. He also wears a head
piece that is well designed and dec-
orated with jewels and sometimes
pearls.
Gold has to be a part of it [the
outft]. It signifes prosperity and
grandeur, Sangam said.
At her frst wedding appearance,
Gypsy wore a special dress that is
usually made in India, headgear and
a cushioned saddle. She was covered
in rich red and gold and was followed
by a man with a red umbrella that
hung over the groom.
Te umbrella is used to protect
the groom from the elements, or evil
spirits. If he has younger brothers
or cousins they sit with him on the
horse as an angel concept, Sangam
said.
Aparna Kumar, a senior from
Overland Park and member of the
South Asian Student Association,
has been to two Hindu weddings that
had horses. Her cousin entered the
wedding venue on a chariot, a horse
carriage, just because he wanted to,
Kumar said.
Kumar has another cousin who
is getting married next May, but
doesnt think the groom will enter on
a horse. If he does, she said it would
be neat.
Its a who wouldnt want to have
a horse at their wedding? type of
thing, Kumar said.
Indian weddings can easily cost
$50,000, but are limitless considering
a small wedding will have about 500
guests, Sangam said. Te brides fam-
ily pays for the entire wedding and
hotels are also paid for by the brides
family, not the guests.
Even if you are the poorest man
in Indian context, you will make it,
Sangam said. Te wedding is the
greatest thing for a family.

Bryan OBrien throws his lanky arms in the air, cocks his head toward
the ceiling and releases a rhythmic cadence from his chest. Standing behind
the microphone at the Mirth Caf downtown on a Friday night, he couldnt
have imagined those Vanilla Ice verses he memorized in elementary school
in North Dakota would lead to this.
hen the
sounds of
Vanilla Ice
and MC Ham-
mer reached Bryan OBriens child-
hood home in Eastern North Dakota
in the early 1990s, he discovered a
style of music diferent fromthe oth-
ers played on his parents television
set.
It was called hip-hop. And at that
point, the now global phenomenon
born in the 1970s South Bronx, was
going through some growing pains.
Te art had emerged from a forgot-
ten urban culture with a simple yet
radical litany: recognize, represent,
come correct, build, maintain, re-
spect. But Ice and Hammer ushered
in a new eraone detached from
the 1980s heydays of KRS One and
other hip-hop popular culture pio-
neers and focused more on targeting
new commercial markets, even rural
North Dakota.
Tere was no other way I would
have found out about hip-hop. I
wouldnt have known about it for
years and years, unless that had hap-
pened, OBrien said, accepting that
many hip-hop critics scof at that
particular era in the musics history,
but gratefully accepting its role in his
life.
He liked the words, the intri-
cacy with which they were placed in
rhyme, the staccato schemes, the al-
literation. But most of all, he enjoyed
learning every word of a new song
and performing it, on imaginary
beats and completely from memory
,to his friends.
Its a challenge hes kept with him
throughout the years. Afer his fam-
ily moved to Kansas and OBrien was
attending high school in Topeka, his
interest in what he dubs verbal mas-
tery easily translated into a passion
for forensics competitions. He read
in a poetry and prose competition
and the thrill of trying to read intri-
cate works on-point opened him up
to the idea of writing his own lyrics,
he said.
During his frst year of college,
separation anxiety from his family,
an unbalanced feeling, and a knack
for writing poems instead of taking
notes in class, led himto leave school
afer just one year. Yet those very is-
sues that came up for him in his col-
lege experience, OBrien said, were
formative in shaping his course as a
writer.
A lot of what got me into writ-
ing was trying to fx that, trying to
reformthings, he said.
At that same time, in the early
2000s, the University was hosting
numerous poetry slams and even
brought in world-renowned slam
poetry performer Saul Williams.
OBrien tapped in.
He found it a suitable conver-
gence. Performance poetry brought
the competition he enjoyed from his
forensics days, the wordplay of hip
hop and a soothing outlet for self-
expression during rocky times.
He began performing, not just for
his friends, via who-can-remember-
every-line-to-this-song challenges,
but for live audiences and with his
own writing. It was shaky, at frst.
OBrien would get really nervous but
afer a couple years, he said, he found
confdence on stage. And, in turn, he
now looks at it as a challenge that he
encourages local poets to take on. He
said thats part of what hip-hop and
poetry is all about.
A lot of people will trash hip hop
and say, Its really exploitational. Its
all about me, me, me and the ego and
all that. I see it diferent, OBrien
said. Every rapper that goes out
there and says, Im the best, Im the
greatest, they are empowering them-
selves.
Today, hes a regular at poetry
readings in downtown Lawrence,
where hes known for a diferent but
refreshing fair.
Sara Glass, friend of OBriens
and area poet who started the frst
Wednesday of the month poetry
reading at the Jazzhaus, 926 1/2 Mas-
sachusetts St. said, He is loud, ob-
noxious and beautiful all at the same
time. You want to listen to him. He
is an incredible freestylerhe can
go for miles of the top of his head.
Its really very strategic to do poetry
well.
He attends most readings at Mirth
Caf, 745 New Hampshire St., and
performs at other spots when he
has the time between waiting tables
downtown at Mirth Caf youll
hardly see him write down an order
and taking classes at Devry Uni-
versity in electrical engineering.
Empowerment is seen in his per-
formance, like the reforming he set
out to do afer he lef KU has come
to fruition. His gif of recollection is
apparent, too, as his poems almost
invariably will pack twice as many
words in less time than other readers
works at local gatherings. His poem
titled How to Talk Fast, performed
in a head-spinning 30 seconds, is a
good example. Te lines here are spit
in a split second:
Its a direct possibility that verbal
agility enhances neural ability, so the
words work willingly, describing you
diligently, I hope this illustrated it
brilliantly.

Every rapper that goes out there and says, Im the best, Im the greatest, they are empowering themselves.

Choose your favorite foods carefully

You know what youre ordering,
but do you know what youre eating?
On-campus dining can be a quick
and convenient option for students
between classes and study breaks.
Diners might be surprised, however,
to know how unhealthy some of the
most popular menu items are.
Mindless eating, or eating with-
out planning ahead or knowing what
youre eating causes a lot of unex-
pected and unwanted weight gain,
Ann Chapman, a registered dietician

said.
According to the American Di-

Food prices rise, keeping pace with trends
CAmPUS
BY KYLIE NUTT
knutt@kansan.com
KU Dining Services is paying
more for food. And now, so will
you.
Prices increased between 2 and
2.5 percent last week for on-campus
eateries. Ofcials say the reason for
the bump is to keep up with the na-
tional rise of food costs.
Te United States Department of
Agriculture recently announced the
Consumer Price Index is increasing
for all foods, according to its web-
site. Te CPI measures the level of
average prices paid by consumers
for goods and services, including
food, according to USDAs website.
Te CPI increased 3.5 percent
from May 2010 to May 2011, which
is high compared with a 0.8 percent
increase from 2009 to 2010. Tat
was the lowest food infation rate
since 1962, according to USDAs
website.
Infation increased this year be-
cause of cost pressures on whole-
sale and retail food prices due to
higher food commodity and energy
prices, along with strengthening
global food demand, according to
USDAs website.
KU Dining Services saw similar
food infation rates as the USDA. In
2009, all food prices remained the
same and in 2010 prices increased
1.5 percent, said Alecia Stultz, assis-
tant director of retail operations.
We have to make sure what we
are pricing our items because we
have to cover the price of the food
we are paying for and our employ-
ees wages and overheads, Stultz
said.
KU Dining Services also saw dif-
fculties with crop and oil prices on
the rise, along with other food-re-
lated costs, which led it to no other
option than to increase food prices
where necessary.
Various food prices increased at
some of the twenty-two on-campus
dining locations.
Some recipes were altered, such
as the Brellas wraps concept, to
keep the prices the same, Stultz
wrote in an e-mail. Other licensed
dining concepts, such as Pizza Hut
and Chic-fl-A increased prices to
charge close to what the stand-alone
stores charge.
On-campus businesses decide
each year whether food prices
should increase,
decrease or remain
the same. But its
not as easy as one
may think, in the
community and
across the nation,
to make sure busi-
nesses appropri-
ately charge what
is needed.
Most recently, cofee prices in-
creased at the Pulse cofee shop be-
tween 1 and 2 percent toward the
end of May, Stultz said. Cofee beans
increased substantially in April,
which caused dining services to in-
crease prices almost one and a half
months early, Stultz said.
Dining services does benchmark-
ing, which is comparing its prices
to competitors, months prior to the
end of the fscal year to determine if
prices are competitive.
It is important to compare like
items, Stultz said.
We try to fnd our direct com-
petitor, Stultz
said. Somewhere
else they could go,
such as Panera,
Applebees, Panda
Express and Jim-
my Johns, to look
at their prices.
Items such as
bottled beverages,
candy, etc., had a
minimal price increase, but most
remained the same, Stultz said in an
e-mail.
She said KU Dining Services will
occasionally fnd students saying
that item is priced out of my range,
I wont get it anymore, or Ill get it
twice a week.
Tat is why KU Dining Services
tries to bundle items to make it
more benefcial to students, such
as adding in a cookie with a meal,
so they are getting something extra,
Stultz said.
Even though some students may
not buy an item because it costs too
much, the quality of the product will
not sufer to make it less expensive,
Stultz said.
We will not lower our

product standards be-
cause of price.

Now, thats a big baby
(Longview, Texas) A Texas mom ex-
pected a big baby, but nothing like this:
16 pounds, 1 ounce.
Janet Johnson on Monday remained in
an East Texas hospital after giving birth
to what her doctors called one of the big-
gest newborns theyve ever seen. She was
awaiting word on whether her son, JaMi-
chael Brown, ranked among the biggest
births in state history.
Everybody was amazed that he was
so big, Johnson, 39, said. I dont think
too many people have heard of having a
16-pound baby.
JaMichael was born Friday at Good
Shepherd Medical Center in Longview.
Johnson has gestational diabetes, which
results in bigger newborns for many moth-
ers. Doctors had estimated JaMichael
would be around 12 pounds prior to the
cesarean birth.
The hospital has asked the states vital
records department whether JaMichael is
big enough to approach any Texas newborn
records, said Victoria Ashworth, a hospital
spokeswoman. He is certainly the biggest
in the history of the Longview hospital,
Ashworth said.
Guinness World Records says the
heaviest newborn ever recorded weighed
23 pounds, 12 ounces, born to an Ohio
woman in 1879.
Pink underwear is rage
in an Arizona jailhouse
(Phoenix, Arizona) The Arizona sher-
iff famous for making prisoners wear
pink underwear is introducing a Span-
ish-language version of the shorts he
sells to the public.
Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio
began issuing pink underwear to in-
mates more than 15 years ago to cut
down on theft. He began selling them to
the public after speaking about them on
national television.
The versions that went on sale Mon-
day are imprinted with Vamos Jose!
The original shorts, also $15, feature a
sheriffs star and a Go Joe logo.
Vamos translates to We go in Eng-
lish. A similar-sounding word, Vamanos,
means Lets go! in Spanish. A more ac-
curate translation of Go Joe! would be
Andele, Jose!
Van in soberity program
goes on drunken joyride
(Anchorage, Alaska) Anchorage police
say a city van used to pick up drunken
people was taken on a joyride by a man
suspected of drunken driving.
The Anchorage Daily News reports that
35-year-old Donny H. Weston was arrested
late Thursday after police say he got into a
Community Service Patrol van parked with
the keys in the engine. Police say social
workers were attending inebriated people
when Weston got into the van.
Police say Weston drove the van for
signifcant distance, including driving
against traffc, and he eventually crashed
the van into a bus and ditched it.
The van is part of a city program that
picks up inebriated people and shuttles
them to sleeping center.
Police say the inebriated men in the
back of the van didnt notice the joyride.
Who knew bananas could
be so dangerous?
(Strongville, Ohio) The manager of a
cell phone store in Ohio called 911 to report
a gorilla had been attacked by a banana.
The Wireless Center in Strongsville, near
Cleveland, advertises at curbside with a
man in a gorilla suit. Manager Brandon
Parham says he was watching last week as
a kid dressed as a banana emerged from
some bushes and took a fying leap at the
store mascot.
Parham says the attacker looked like a
Spartan from the movie 300 except
he was a banana.
The gorilla was knocked down but got
back up, adjusted his head and went back
to work.
WJW-TV reports the banana split
running down the street with other teens.
Police think it was a prank. They werent
able to fnd the offending fruit.

Rapid results HIV test could combat anxiety
bY HaNNaH daViS
hdavis@kansan.com
Abigail Fletcher uncharacteristical-
ly declined a plate of her great aunts
famous fried chicken. For two weeks,
she felt tense. Her stomach had been
in knots. Her sleep had been minimal.
Her life was in limbo.
Fletcher, a Wichita resident, was
tested for HIV at the Planned Parent-
hood Center in Wichita. Tat was the
easy part. Waiting two weeks for the
results was hell on earth.
It is like this secret I carry around
all day, she said. People smile and
say hi and I respond as usual but in
the back of my mind I am thinking
about how my life could change once
I get my results.
Fletcher received her results thir-
teen days, 14 hours and 45 minutes
afer getting tested. She was HIV neg-
ative. Traditional HIV tests, such as
blood-draws and oral swabs, can take
up to two weeks.
Olivia Burchett would like to
change that in Douglas County.
Rapid results HIV testing produces
results in fve minutes but there are no
testing facilities ofering that service
here.
When people come in to get
tested it is usually because they have
engaged in risky behavior, said Bur-
chett, a health educator at the Douglas
County Aids Project. Tere is a lot of
self-refection, a lot of doubt and a lot
of anxiety. A rapid results test allows
clients to know their status immedi-
ately.
DCAP is considering ofering rap-
id results tests, which Burchett hopes
will be available by the fall.
Burchett said this is important in
Lawrence partly because a large stu-
dent population increases the preva-
lence of infection.
Ken Sarber, a health educator at
Watkins Health Center, said testing is
important but so is prevention.
Watkins Student Health Services
provides information, including a
10-question worksheet every couple
should complete prior to engaging in
sexual activity.
But Burchett said the riskiest be-
havior sexually active people can en-
gage in is non-communication.
Having honest conversations
prior to engaging in sexual behavior
prevents transmission of diseases and
reduces stress and anxiety in the long
run, she said.
She hopes to promote discussion
about HIV and safer sex in the Law-
rence community.
Individuals should remain celibate
until they receive their test results. If a
person has engaged in risky behavior
Burchett instructs patients to abstain
from sex for three months at which
point a HIV test can detect the virus.
Last year DCAP conducted more than
370 HIV tests. Burchett hopes that
providing free tests with quick results
will increase that number.
I dont think I will ever be satis-
fed with the number of tests we are
conducting. Tese new tests will
hopefully bring more trafc our way,
Burchett said. People dont have to sit
and worry. Tey can be honest with
themselves, their partners and soon
they can know their status in min-
utes.
Abigail Fletcher said waiting two
weeks for her results was torture. Al-
though she would have preferred a
more timely result, Fletcher said the
experience changed her for the better.
I had two weeks to refect on the
potential consequences of my actions.
It was defnitely a time full of soul
searching, Fletcher said. It was hell
on earth but Im smarter and stronger
for it.

Library to get facelift after large donation
coNStRUctIoN
By Weston PLetcher
wpletcher@kansan.com
Te summer is in full swing and so
is construction on campus at the Uni-
versity of Kansas. Many of the build-
ings on campus are undergoing reno-
vations and that includes the libraries.
Anschutz, Spahr, Spencer and Wat-
son libraries are all seeing construc-
tion this summer, but the Kenneth
Spencer Research Library is receiving
the biggest face-lif.
Afer construction is complete, the
Spencer Research Library will have a
new interior reception space and the
current reading room will be known as
the Marilyn Stokstad Reading Room.
Stokstad is the Judith Harris Murphy
Distinguished Professor Emerita of
Art History.
Stokstad gave the libraries $250,000,
which should cover the entire cost of
renovations. She is a retired faculty
member and a renowned art history
scholar. Her donation will allow the
new reading room to be more open,
inviting and visible, which are key
qualities at the library.
Kent Miller, associate dean of li-
braries, said the 5,000-square-foot
Stokstad Reading Room will enhance
the experience of all users of the book
and manuscript collections in this li-
brary. Some of the improvements that
students will see in the new reading
room include an increase in the size
and seating in the reading room, a
higher quality in lighting, better sound
control and an enclosed study space
for group work.
Our goal is the upgrading of spac-
es and equipment which support the
work of our user community, Miller
said. Staf spaces are important too,
but our primary goal is to make sure
the spaces students and faculty use are
comfortable and meet their needs.
Te Spencer Research Library is
home to extensive book collections,
manuscripts, photos and other items
since its opening in 1968.
Sarah Kanning, communications
coordinator for the libraries, said the
Spencer Research Library is home to
historical artifacts like the Gutenberg
Bible, Irish literature collections from
James Joyce and it is also home to the
University Archives, which contains
the history of the University of Kan-
sas.
Te archives contain Chancellors
papers, photos, Jayhawker yearbooks
and the presentation of the Jayhawk,
Kanning said.
Libraries are like other public
buildings, which need constant main-
tenance refreshment to support com-
fortable, safe and convenient access by
the user community, Miller said. Stu-
dents provide quality input before and
afer renovation projects, he said.
Weve received very positive feed-
back from students on past projects
and were happy about that, Miller
said. Te biggest concerns students
have voiced recently have been about
study spaces, the number of computers
available and building hours, which is
part of the reason we are doing some
of these projects.
Tis donation from Stokstad isnt
the frst time shes been generous to
the University. She has supported the
Spencer Museum of Art, the Hall Cen-
ter for the Humanities, the College of
Liberal Arts and Sciences and the Lied
Center.
Construction is being done by de-
sign and construction management
and facilities operations and is sched-
uled to be completed by the end of
September.

This is a sketch of what the new reading room in the Kenneth Spencer Research Library
will look like. Construction should be fnished in September.

David Booth presents the unveiling of James Naismiths Original Rules of Basketball
at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, Mo., at a press conference in
March. The exhibit ended three weeks ago and the rules went back to Booth.
BY MATT GALLOWAY
mgalloway@kansan.com
A committee of more than a
dozen University of Kansas ofcials
is meeting to determine the best
display place for James Naismiths
original rules of basketball.
Te rules, written in 1891 by the
former Kansas basketball coach,
sold for $4.3 million last December.
Kansas graduate David Booth out-
bid the Smithsonian in the auction.
Te rules have toured the United
States since Booth purchased the
original document. But Booth, a
donor, has told reporters he would
prefer a permanent display at the
University. Te rules are currently
in Austin, Texas with the Booth
family.
Jim Marchiony, associate athlet-
ics director of external relations,
said the committee is considering
everything from a new stand-alone
building to a smaller extension to
an existing building. Te commit-
tee last met in May and is working
under no timetable to make its deci-
sion, he said.
Wed like to keep proceeding
on this and keep making progress,
but this is not something we want
to rush, Marchiony said. Tis is
something that is bigger than athlet-
ics that needs to involve the Univer-
sity, and we want to make sure we
do it right.
Booth is not on the committee
but is receiving updates every step
of the way, Marchiony said.

A circuit court in Prince George
County, Maryland, has scheduled
an Aug. 17 custody hearing for
Jayla Paris, 7, sister of Kansas ju-
nior forward Tomas Robinson.
Teir mother, Lisa Robinson,
died of a sudden heart attack at
age 43 on Jan. 21, and her own
parents had passed on only a short
time before. Following the loss,
Robinson gained permission from
the NCAA to set up the Lisa Rob-
inson Foundation, a trust fund set
up in his sisters name in order to
collect donations that could pro-
vide for her future.
Jayla Paris is currently in the
care of her father, James Paris, in
Washington, D.C.
Te custody hearing on Au-
gust 17 will decide whether Jayla
Paris is to remain with her father
or be taken in by Lisa Robinsons
brother, Willatant Austin Jr. and
his wife, Carrie.
Te Kansas City law frm SNR
Denton, which monitors the Lisa
Robinson Foundation, is also rep-
resenting the Austins in Maryland.
Mark Johnson, a partner in the
frm and a University of Kansas
lecturer, said that there had never
been plans to bring Jayla Paris to
Lawrence, and any rumors to that
efect had no basis in fact.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.
Tey brought their games from
South Korea to the U.S. Womens
Open, knowing that success in their
home country is great but America
is where the real fame not to
mention money is earned.
Tey lurked in the middle of the
pack for the frst two days, then
made their move on the weekend
So Yeon Ryu and Hee Kyung Seo
vaulting to the top of the leader-
board, tied afer a 72-hole grind that
felt much longer.
Tey played a three-hole playof
Monday, and when it was over, Ryu
was the champion.
But their country as it has of-
ten been in recent years turned
out to be the biggest winner.
When I was started golf, Se Ri
Pak won the U.S. Womens Open
tournament, so this tournament is
really special for me, Ryu said, in-
voking the name of the 33-year-old,
fve-time major winner who pushed
golf to a new level in South Korea
starting at the end of the 1990s.
Afer this win, her frst major and
frst victory in the United States,
Ryu became the newest candidate
to be the next Se Ri.
Or maybe shell be better.
She showed all kinds of possi-
bilities over fve grueling days at
the Broadmoor, capping it of with
a three-shot crushing of her rival in
the playof.
Starting on the 16th hole, Ryu
played the fnal three holes in 2-un-
der par, all but sealing it when she
hit three perfect shots to the green
on the par-5 17th and made the putt
for a birdie while Seo drove into a
bunker and had to scramble for bo-
gey.
For good measure, Ryu hit her
approach on 18 to 4 feet for another
birdie, which sparked a champagne-
spraying celebration on the 18th
green. Pak was among the South
Korean contingent that ran out to
douse Ryu in her glow-in-the-dark
orange shirt and cap.
Great as that moment was, it was
the birdie Ryu made on 18 about an
hour earlier that was the defning
moment of the tournament.
Trailing by one to an opponent
who had closed out her round be-
fore darkness stopped play the pre-
vious night, Ryu stood behind her
ball in the fairway, plumbed her
6-iron to her nose, then closed one
eye to take dead aim at the 170-yard
shot. She drew the shot uphill, over
the lake and landed the ball 6 feet
from the hole. Moments later, she
slammed the putt home to pull into
a tie. She ended up with two birdies
in the span of an hour on a hole that
yielded only 28 over fve days.
Certainly nobody can ever say
Ryu backed into this title, won on
a 7,000-yard course at an altitude
of 6,400 feet that got hit by storms
every day, turning it into a test of en-
durance and patience for some play-
ers and a sporadic series of starts
and stops for others.
Its never over til its over, espe-
cially in these things, Cristie Kerr
said. People really want it, and that
was a gutsy putt.
Kerr also had a chance. She came
to the Broadmoor on Monday trail-
ing by two with two holes to play,
but couldnt convert a 12-foot putt
from the fringe on 17 to make things
interesting. She fnished third at
1-under par.
Angela Stanford birdied 16 to also
give herself an outside shot. But she,
too, made par on 17 and wound up
even par and in fourth place.
Tat lef it a match between the
two South Koreans who have been
doing their dance for the last few
years, jostling for position on the
tour back home, deciding whether a
permanent move to America would
beneft them most, taking turns in
the headlines and on the winners
podium.
Seo appeared to be ahead com-
ing into this tournament, break-
ing through on the LPGA Tour last
year with a victory that sent her
over to America full-time in 2011.
She might have cemented her hold
with a victory this week and she was
poised for it Sunday night.
She played 36 holes over 14 hours
Sunday and fnished both rounds
in 3-under 68 to end regulation at
3-under 281. But there was one hic-
cup: A short putt that rimmed out
on No. 17 when she was rushing to
fnish a ball hit while the wind
was whipping, leaving her uneasy as
she stood over it. It lef her at 3 un-
der instead of 4 under and gave Ryu
a glimmer of hope.
I think one mistake yesterday on
the 17th green, thats the one, Seo
said.
Seo came to the course Monday
knowing she might be able to collect
the trophy without hitting a shot.
She was warming up on the driving
range when she heard a roar from
the 18th grandstand. It was Ryus
approach shot.
So, at that time, I was thinking
about, Oh, the time is now.
She had to go out for three more
holes and is 0-2 against Ryu in head-
to-head playofs. Tey also went
three holes at the Chinese Ladies
Open in 2009.
Seo was gracious in discussing
the tournament and what it means
for her country.
I think they were cheering for
both of us, she said. So, yeah, I
feel very happy that a South Korean
player won this great, big tourna-
ment.
Ryu, who planned on fnishing
school back home before going to
LPGA qualifying school, will cash a
$585,000 winners check and have a
ticket to join the American tour at
her leisure.
Tis is Ryus frst major and her
frst LPGA victory. She joins Pak
(1998), Birdie Kim (2005), Inbee
Park (2008) and Eun Hee Ji (2009)
on the list of South Korean U.S.
Open champions.
Ryu now holds the lead in the
much-watched contest to supplant
Pak as the countrys greatest player,
though it fgures this race like
the tournament they just fnished
will be a marathon. Ryu is 21 and
Seo just turned 25.
Tat means new history is com-
ing in the future, Pak said. Tats
what it is. Its really good to see it.
two gored and more

Spanish Red Cross spokesman Jose
Aldaba said Tuesday that one person
suffered a horn injury to the back and
another was hit in the shoulder. It was
not immediately known how serious
the injuries were.
At least two other people were
treated for injuries sustained in falls
in the run.
The daily 8 a.m. runs see hundreds
of thrill-seekers dashing ahead and
alongside six bulls and their guiding
steer through the narrow, cobble-
stoned streets of Pamplona to the
citys bull ring.
Tuesdays race was the fastest so
far at two minutes, 16 seconds. Two
runs remain.
The festival draws hundreds of

$1.7 million project to
renovate track and feld
Major renovations to Anschutz Pavilion,
Kansas Athletics indoor practice facility
and competition venue for track and feld,
are now underway. The project is estimat-
ed to cost the department $1,750,000,
said Jim Marchiony, associate athletics
director for external relations. The reno-
vations include new surfaces for the Ray
Evans Field and the Bill Easton Track, a
new scoreboard and a new sound system.
Renovations began in May and are on
schedule to be completed by September.
The existing 231-meter oval track was
installed when Anschutz was built in
1984. The track is being upgraded to a
200-meter, six-lane track (eighth lanes
on the sprint straightaway). This is the
current standard for indoor tracks.
According to a press release from
Kansas Athletics, the track will also
be resurfaced with Beynon BSS 2000,
including a Hobart topping. The Ho-
bart topping will provide durability and
stain resistance to the tracks surface.
The last upgrade was in 1999 when the
track was resurfaced. In addition, new
jump pits, and a new pole vault box will
be installed to improve spectator view-
ing.
The fan experience will be greatly
improved and we are excited about
that, Marchiony said.
Marchiony said Athletics offcals
hoped the upgrades will attract more
events to the facility.
