Drug dealer says clients
included basketball players
KANSAS CITY, Mo. A Kansas
man at the center of a large-scale
marijuana case allegedly supplied
the drug to multiple players from
the 2010-11 Kansas mens basket-
ball team, a federal prosecutor said.
The Kansas City Star reported
June 29 that an assistant U.S. attor-
ney made the claim during a June
18 detention hearing for Samuel
Villeareal III.
The 32-year-old from Over-
land Park was among numerous
defendants charged June 11 with
a scheme to distribute more than
2,000 pounds of marijuana in
Johnson and Douglas counties. His
attorney, Jonathan A. Bortnick, said
he had no comment.
A court transcript obtained by
The Star shows the prosecutor,
Terra Moorhead, claimed during
the hearing that Villeareal supplied
pot to multiple members of the
Jayhawks squad.

University Cancer Center
nationally designated
The University of Kansas Cancer
Center (KUCC) may be able to of-
fcially call itself a National Cancer
Institute (NCI). According to a post
by U.S. Senator Pat Roberts on his
Facebook page, KUCC has been ap-
proved as a NCI designated cancer
center.
I am pleased that the University
of Kansas has been given a green
light and I look forward to a formal
announcement of their National
Cancer Institute designation,he
posted on Thursday, June 28.
Currently, there are only 66
NCI designated cancer centers in
the country, none of which are in
Kansas. The NCI board met June 25
and will release a formal announce-
ment of KUCCs admission by
mid-July.
KUCC applied for the designa-
tion in September 2011, but has
worked for the past seven years
and invested $350 million toward
the goal. As of last September, the
organization had created 1,123
jobs and contributed more than
$450 million to the local economy.
Ofcials expect that the designa-
tion will improve these numbers
with the help of more federal
research funding which will result
in more higher-paying jobs.
As a designated center, KUCC
will also be able to provide Kansas
cancer patients more opportunities
to participate in new clinical trials,
more access to promising therapies
and a number of other services, all
closer to home.

Thousands protest at swearing-in of Chinas leader on Sunday
Four die in weekend Baghdad bombing
IRAq
ASSOCIAteD PReSS
Tens of thousands of Hong Kong
residents pack a street during a pro-
democracy protest march in Hong Kong,
Sunday, July 1, 2012.
ASSOCIAteD PReSS
People inspect the scene of a car bomb
attack in the Washash neighborhood of
Baghdad, Iraq. June was the second-
deadliest month since U.S. troops
withdrew from Iraq in mid-December.
BAghDAD Bombers killed four
people in two Iraqi cities and gunmen
assassinated a judge, offcials said
Sunday, as al-Qaidas affliate ramped
up attacks six months after the last U.S.
troops withdrew.
Three coordinated bomb attacks within
minutes of each other Sunday morning
hit the central city of Tikrit, 130 kilome-
ters (80 miles) north of Baghdad, a pro-
vincial offcial said. A civilian walking by
was killed and two others were wounded.
The bombs went off near a middle school
where students were taking exams, but
authorities said none of the students was
hurt.
Further south, three policemen died
when a suicide car bomb and three
roadside bombs exploded at a secu-
rity checkpoint on Saturday night in Sa-
marra, 95 kilometers (60 miles) north of
Baghdad, a police offcial said.
hONg KONg A pro-democracy heckler
interrupted a speech by Chinese President
Hu Jintao at the swearing-in of Hong Kongs
new leader Sunday and tens of thousands
of residents marched to protest Chinese
rule on the 15th anniversary of the Asian
fnancial hubs return to Beijings control.
In the ceremony, self-made millionaire Le-
ung Chun-ying, 57, became Hong Kongs
third chief executive after Donald Tsang
and Tung Chee-hwa. He has promised to
address Hong Kongers economic needs, in-
cluding skyrocketing housing prices, which
many blame on deep-pocketed mainland
apartment buyers.
A demonstrator who tried to interrupt Hu as
he began his address was bundled away
by security offcials. The man, one of the
guests invited to the inauguration, waved
a small fag and yelled slogans calling for
Chinas leaders to condemn the brutal June
4, 1989, crackdown on protesters in Bei-
jings Tiananmen Square. He also called for
an end to one-party rule in China.
Beijing has pledged that Hong Kong can
elect its own leader in 2017 and all legisla-
tors by 2020 at the earliest, but no road-
map has been laid out.
In mid-afternoon, tens of thousands of pro-
testers began marching toward the newly
built government headquarters complex on
Hong Kong Island in sweltering heat, beat-
ing drums and waving British colonial fags
in a gesture of nostalgia for an era during
which democratic rights were limited but
the rule of law was frmly in place.
The protesters jammed the route of the
march, a series of thoroughfares bordered
by high-rise apartments and offce build-
ings. There was occasional tension with
the thousands of police offcers deployed to
maintain order, but by and large the event
went off peacefully.
Organizers said more than 400,000 par-
ticipated while police estimated there were
63,000 at the processions peak. Hu left
Hong Kong before the march began.
Leung himself was implicated in an em-
barrassing scandal just last week when
it emerged that he had made six illegal
additions to his mansion in an exclusive
neighborhood on Hong Kong Islands Vic-
toria Peak.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.
People who fed the most destructive
fre in Colorados history are being
allowed temporary visits to the most
devastated neighborhoods, and many
will fnd that their homes were among
the nearly 350 burned to the ground.
About 10,000 people remain evacu-
ated, down from more than 30,000 at
the peak of the Waldo Canyon fre in
Colorado Springs, but authorities said
Sunday morning they hoped to lif
more evacuation orders later in the
day.
Te 26-square-mile fre was 45 per-
cent contained as of Sunday morning.
It was one of many burning across the
West, including eight in Utah and a
fast-growing blaze in Montana that
forced residents in several small com-
munities to leave.
Rich Harvey, incident commander
for the Waldo Creek blaze, said crews
continue to make good progress.
Were cautiously optimistic, he
said Sunday morning. We still re-
main focused on things that could go
wrong.
On Sunday people whose homes
were burned were allowed to tour the
afected areas. Authorities said some
residences would be cordoned of
with police tape, and people would
not be allowed beyond that point.
About 1,500 personnel were fght-
ing the Waldo Canyon fre, and au-
thorities said they were confdent they
had built good fre lines in many areas
to stop fames from spreading.

Fireworks spark deadly wildfre fears
DENVER Drought and wildfre
fears are snufng out some Fourth of
July festivities this year.
From Utah to Indiana, state and
local governments are calling of an-
nual freworks displays out of fear that
a stray rocket could ignite tinder-dry
brush and trigger a wildfre. Teyre
also warning residents not to use fre-
works, sparklers or Roman candles in
backyards.
Te worry is especially acute in the
West, where crews are already battling
out-of-control blazes in several states.
Parts of the Midwest are afected, too,
afer weeks without any signifcant
rain.
We usually have a freworks barge
and a huge gala that attracts thousands
of people, said Bill Appleby of the
Grand Lake Area Chamber of Com-
merce, which represents the lakeside
resort town about 90 miles northwest
of Denver in the Rocky Mountains.
Te display is usually safe out on the
water, but we just cant risk an errant
ember.
Its not uncommon for communi-
ties to delay or cancel freworks shows
because of drought conditions, but this
year, the practice is more widespread.
Last year, about a third of the coun-
try was in drought. Now nearly three-
quarters is, according to the latest U.S.
Drought Monitor map, a weekly analy-
sis of dryness across the nation. Te
parched conditions have been aggra-
vated by a dry, mild winter and above-
normal temperatures.
Fires have charred more than 1.8
million acres this year in the U.S., and
much of Utah, Colorado, Wyoming
and Montana have been under red-fag
warnings for extreme fre danger.
In Colorado, where hundreds of
homes have been destroyed by fames
in the past month, frefghters have said
they dont have the time or resources to
stand watch over public events. At least
nine public freworks displays have
been called of.
Montana hasnt called for an end to
big displays yet, but Gov. Brian Sch-
weitzer is urging people not to set of
their own freworks and has lef the
door open to canceling public shows.
Ofcials have also canceled displays
or issued warnings restricting private
freworks in Arkansas, Illinois, Indi-
ana, Kansas, Missouri, Utah and Wis-
consin.
Nobody wants to not have fre-
works, said Chris Magnuson of Al-
bion, Ind., a town of about 2,300 that
postponed its annual July 4 freworks
show to Labor Day weekend afer
county ofcials banned outdoor burn-
ing. Its just not safe enough.
Fireworks were blamed for more
than 15,500 blazes and $36 million in
property damage in 2010, according to
the National Fire Protection Associa-
tion in Quincy, Mass.
Leaders of the freworks industry,
which brought in nearly $1 billion
in sales nationally in 2011, question
whether frework bans are legal. Steve
Graves, executive director of the Indi-
ana Fireworks Association, said people
should be given credit for common
sense.
Indiana law allows freworks from
June 29 to July 9 regardless of wheth-
er local burn bans are in place. Some
communities have declared drought
disaster emergencies to enact bans in
an attempt to get around the law.
Instead of talking about safety, they
decided to treat Hoosiers like theyre
a bunch of idiots that cant think for
themselves, Graves said.
At the TNT Fireworks stand just
outside Helena, Mont., some customers
planned to heed the calls to keep their
freworks under wraps for July Fourth,
said stand co-owner Anna Richards.
Would I rather make money or
would I rather see Montana burn?
Richards said. Teres more to life
than these two weeks.

Most of us have a set routine when
we arrive on campus. Perhaps its
a morning stop at Wescoe Beach, a
cofee break at Watson, and lunch at
the Underground. From there, you
bid campus farewell and are on your
way.
Honestly, I cant really think
of many places that arent already
known, said Zach Helmstead, a se-
nior from Marion. Were not really
told much.
Te next time youre ready to head
home, consider visiting some of these
lesser-known places on campus. You
might be surprised what you fnd.
Danforth Chapel: Located on
a grassy knoll between Fraser and
Spooner Halls, this chapel on Lilac
Lane has been the centerpiece of al-
most 5,000 weddings since its formal
dedication on April 2, 1946. Accord-
ing to the KU History Project, Ger-
man WWII POWs were used to con-
struct the chapel. When classes are in
session, students are welcome to stop
by for individual meditation from
7:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Te Shack: Tis small limestone
building located on 11th St. just east
of the Triangle Fraternity, is more af-
fectionately known as the Shack to
those who have worked in it.
It has housed everything from
the campus radio station, KJHK, to
Jayhawkers hiding from Quantrills
Raiders in 1863. Tey burned down
the house that went with it, said Mike
Reid, director of the KU History
Project. Tat shack is one of the old-
est buildings in the region, not just
the campus, Reid said. Not a lot of
people know that.
Butterfy Garden: If youve ever
had a class on West Campus, you may
be familiar with Foley Halls butterfy
garden, 2021 Constant Avenue.
Open to the public Monday-Friday,
the butterfy garden is the brainchild
of Chip Taylor, a professor with the
departments of ecology and evolu-
tionary biology.
Weaver Courtyard: Located on
the south side of Spooner Hall, this
small courtyard usually stands be-
hind Spooners gates, invisible to
passersby.
Spooner Hall is the oldest cam-
pus building still in use, Reid said.
Named for Arthur D. Weaver, of
Weaver Department Store fame, this
courtyard contains four sculptures
created by Kansas City sculptor Rich-
ard M. Hollander. Have a seat on one
of the shaded benches and check out
the view.
Te Owl on Spooner Hall: While
youre at the courtyard, fnd this owl,
engraved in a small niche on the
gable of the building, designed by
Spooners architect, Henry van Brunt.
Known as a symbol of wisdom, the
owl complements the statement on
the buildings portico, Whoso fnd-
eth wisdom fndeth life. Remember
that when youre walking up 14th
Street.
Malott Plaza and Memorial Gar-
den: Have you ever taken a look at
the garden and trees you pass by on a
quick stroll between Wescoe and An-
schutz? Tough known as a gathering
spot for many students during the fall
and spring, few are aware of what is
planted there.
Te plaza is dedicated in honor of
former Chancellor Deane Mallotts
wife Eleanor. She had a love of crab-
trees, and at her urging, the Class of
1945 dedicated 1,000 of them to the
campus, some in this plaza. Te gar-
den also includes sage, barberry, peo-
nies, dafodils, chrysanthemums, and
spirea trees.
7 Vietnam Memorial: In May
1986, KU became the frst university
in the country to erect an on-campus
memorial to students killed or miss-
ing in the Vietnam War. Te memo-
rial is on Memorial Drive. Te me-
morial contains 57 names of former
students and alumni.
Pioneer Cemetery: You may have
stumbled upon this cemetery walking
from the Lied Center to Daisy Hill.
Many dont know about it, though its
hiding in plain sight, and it has graves
from before the Raid, Reid said. Te
University purchased the land it sits
on in 1953. A project in 2009 includ-
ed repairs to some of the ironwork
and graves.
Interstate Highway 70 Sculpture:
Located in Marvin Grove between
Bailey Hall and the Spencer Art
Museum, this sculpture designed by
Richard Hollander in 1970 and pur-
chased by the University in 1982,.
is the very shady, perfect place for a
picnic.
Audio-Reader Sensory Garden:
Located at the Baehr Audio-Reader
Center at 1120 11th St., this of-cam-
pus space is designed to be enjoyed
by all, including people with disabil-
ties.
Its not just a beautiful garden,
said Brenda Berg-Dyck, development
director of the garden. We have
wind chimes, babbling brooks, its
meant to be a sensory experience.
Maintained completely by volun-
teers, the garden is free and open to
the public.

ASSOCIATeD PReSS
NEW YORK Tom Cruise and
Katie Holmes are calling it quits
after five years of marriage.
This is a personal and private
matter for Katie and her family,
Holmess attorney Jonathan Wolfe
said Friday. Katies primary con-
cern remains, as it always has
been, her daughters best interest.
Cruises lawyer Bert Fields
said Holmes filed for divorce on
Thursday.
Cruise, 49, wed the 33-year-old
Holmes in 2006 in an Italian castle
after publicly declaring his love on
The Oprah Winfrey Show, em-
phatically jumping on her couch.
The couple has a 6-year-old
daughter, Suri, who has herself be-
come a staple of the tabloids and
celebrity magazines.
Their plan to divorce was first
reported by People magazine.
Kate has filed for divorce and
Tom is deeply saddened and is
concentrating on his three chil-
dren, Cruises representative,
Amanda Lundberg, told The As-
sociated Press. Please allow them
their privacy to work this out.
Cruise and Holmes had a whirl-
wind romance the Dawsons
Creek actress confessed she had a
childhood crush on the Top Gun
star and were engaged at the
Eiffel Tower. An elaborate wed-
ding followed before a Church of
Scientology minister.
I cant be cool. I cant be laid-
back, a starry-eyed Cruise said
on The Oprah Winfrey Show.
Something happened and I want
to celebrate it.
But the couples romance was
instant fodder for the tabloids,
who chattered about everything
from the couples fights and Suris
clothing to Holmes conversion to
Scientology.
Cruise, currently starring in
Rock of Ages, was previously
married to Mimi Rogers and Ni-
cole Kidman, with whom he has
two children.

Dinosaur goes missing
from gas station
MISSOULA, Mont. The folks at
Hi-Noon Petroleum in Montana have
a new way to turn a dinosaur into
gasoline.
Theyre ofering a $250 gas card
for information leading to the safe
return of Dino, a 12-foot-long fber-
glass Sinclair dinosaur that disap-
peared June 21 from the Crossroads
Travel Center west of Missoula.
We just wonder what happened
to him,Hi-Noon marketing manager
Earl Allen said Friday. Its a little odd
for him to just walk away.
The 6-foot tall green dinosaur sat
on a hill overlooking Interstate 90 for
at least fve years, Allen said, with oc-
casional appearances in University of
Montana Homecoming parades.
That was his home for a number
of years,Allen said.
Anyone with information on
Dinos whereabouts is asked to call
Hi-Noon.

Murdoch companies
to separate into two
NEW YORK Calling it the next
logical step in a near six-decade
evolution, Rupert Murdochs News
Corp. said Thursday that it plans
to split into two separate publicly
traded companies.
Under the proposal, one com-
pany will operate as a newspaper
and book publisher, while the other
will be an entertainment company
that includes the 20th Century Fox
movie studio, the Fox broadcast TV
network and the Fox News channel.
It may take a year to work out the
details.
The Murdoch family, which con-
trols nearly 40 percent of the voting
shares in News Corp., is expected to
maintain control of both compa-
nies.
Rupert Murdoch said in a confer-
ence call with investors that a split
would result in two strong com-
panies that have more operational
fexibility and be poised for greater
growth.
Each of these new companies
would have the potential to con-
tinue that journey and prosper as
an independent entity long into the
future, Murdoch said.

Ann Curry ousted
from Today show
NEW YORK For a morning
show used to celebrating family
and a connection with its audi-
ence, the Todayshows farewell to
co-host Ann Curry on Thursday was
brief, tearful and sad.
Curry, who was co-host with
Matt Lauer for a year after several
years as the news anchor, was re-
moved as host of the show after 14
years. She fought back tears on the
air, saying this is not as I expected
to ever leave this couch.
Her departure ended a weeks
worth of awkward television. She
came to work after word got out
that NBC was looking to oust her,
with neither she nor the network
commenting on the stories until
Thursday. Im sorry I couldnt carry
the ball over the fnish line but,
man, I did try,she said.

W
ith the election cam-
paign in the doldrums
until the conventions,
not a single person could have gone
throughout June 28 without some
news concerning the Supreme Courts
decision on the Afordable Care Act. I
know that before I could get the crusties
out of my eyes, Id already yelled exple-
tives around my bedroom. Instantly,
my mind told me that Id awoken to a
new nation; a country drastically un-
like the one Id said goodnight to.
In a seemingly landmark decision,
the highest court in the land had up-
held the ACA by a margin of 5-4 with
Chief Justice John Roberts casting the
deciding vote. Many other bushy-eyed
conservatives like myself must have
felt a similar feeling; wed been bam-
boozled by our ace in the hole.
Tose of us who believe in limited
government had hoped that the Su-
preme Court would have the neces-
sary votes to strike down ACA, or at
least the individual mandate. And wed
been seemingly hoodwinked by the
Chief Justice, a person wed believed
was staunchly against a more powerful
federal government. However, I would
caution quick conclusions.
People who welcome this ruling
should not get ahead of themselves,
this isnt a blessing of any kind by the
Supreme Court. Tis was a ruling on
the simple constitutionality of the in-
dividual mandate. Te court is not in
the business of deciding whether a
political measure is right or wrong, but
whether it is allowed within the frame-
work of the Constitution.
Tis court ruling is not a victory for
democrats, liberals and/or proponents
of eventual universal health care. Tis
is a major, but discrete, blow to Con-
gresss ability to govern through the
use of the Commerce Clause. Despite
the victorious chest-beating, this does
not bode well for President Obamas
reelection hopes. Te central, crown-
ing achievement of his political career
has been devalued as nothing more
than a tax. Te ACA has been upheld
under the Taxing Clause power given
to Congress. A tax which Chief Justice
Roberts commented in his majority
opinion, which is not the business of
the court to decide whether it makes
sense.
Construing the Commerce Clause
to permit Congress to regulate indi-
viduals precisely because they are do-
ing nothing would open a new and po-
tentially vast domain to congressional
authority. Congress already possesses
expansive power to regulate what
people do, said Chief Justice John
Roberts.
While being in the majority which
seemingly grants Congress the power
to mandate that every citizen buy
health insurance or risk a tax penalty,
it is clear that Roberts is interested in
regulating Congressional power.
Te Framers knew the diference
between doing something and doing
nothing. Tey gave Congress the pow-
er to regulate commerce, not to com-
pel it, said Chief Justice John Roberts.
Tere is a distinct diference be-
tween regulating what people do and
what people do not do, Chief Justice
Roberts is well aware of that. It is clear
within his opinion that if the Court
were to uphold ACA under the Com-
merce Clause, they would create a
dangerous slippery slope. Congres-
sional power is not all-encompassing,
it must be checked; this is a victory for
limited government
In 2009, the President repeatedly
claimed that this act was not a tax, that
is obviously not true. Now, President
Obama will be forced to go to Ameri-
cans and champion his health care act,
which is in fact a massive tax increase
on the middle class. Te polls dont
bode well for him and Im guessing that
Mitt Romney knows that; hes sharp-
ening his sword. President Obama will
have to stand up for his health care act
and tell Americans why they should
agree to this tax increase, one which
he refuted not four years ago.
Remember when President Obama
promised he wouldnt raise taxes? So
does the majority of the voting public.
In the end, Chief Justice Roberts just
rewrote the ability and power of Con-
gress to regulate; he may have just cur-
tailed the governments power forever.

FRANCONIA, Va. A day af-
ter seeking refuge at shopping malls
and movie theaters, hoping the lights
would be back on when they returned,
nearly 2.7 million residents faced a
grim reality Sunday: stifing homes,
spoiled food and a looming commute
flled with knocked-out stoplights.
Two days afer storms slammed the
mid-Atlantic region, power outages
were forcing people to get creative to
stay cool in dangerously hot weather.
Temperatures approached 100 de-
grees in many storm-stricken areas,
and utility ofcials said the power will
likely be out for several more days.
If we dont get power tonight, well
have to throw everything away, Susan
Fritz, a mother of three, said grimly
of her refrigerator and freezer. Fritz
came to a library in Bethesda, Md.,
so her son could do school work. She
charged her phone and iPad at her lo-
cal gym.
Te severe weather that began Fri-
day was blamed for 17 deaths, most
from trees falling on homes and cars.
Tree people were killed Sunday in
eastern North Carolina when sudden
storms hit there. Meanwhile, Coast
Guard ofcials say they have suspend-
ed the search for a man who went
missing early Saturday while boating
during the storm of Maryland.
On Sunday night, federal and state
ofcials in the mid-Atlantic region
gave many workers the option of stay-
ing home Monday to ease congestion
on the roads. Federal agencies will be
open in Washington, but non-emer-
gency employees have the option of
taking leave or working from home.
Marylands governor also gave state
workers wide leeway for staying out
of the ofce.
Te bulk of the damage was in West
Virginia, Washington and the capitals
Virginia and Maryland suburbs. At
least six of the dead were killed in Vir-
ginia, including a 90-year-old woman
asleep in her bed when a tree slammed
into her home. Two young cousins in
New Jersey were killed when a tree fell
on their tent while camping.
Young illegal immigrants
brought to the United States by
their parents when they were
children no longer have to live in
fear of being deported.
President Barack Obama an-
nounced in a June 15 speech that
illegal immigrants who came to
the United States as children and
dont present a risk to national se-
curity or public safety will be able
to request temporary relief from
deportation proceedings. Tey
will be able to apply for work au-
thorization. Te president said
this isnt amnesty or immunity, or
a permanent fx, but something
to give relief and hope to undoc-
umented immigrants who live in
fear of being deported.
Marta Caminero-Santangelo,
an English professor who spe-
cializes in U.S.-Latino literature
and has written articles about
undocumented immigrants, said
she was happy when she heard
the news about Obamas propos-
al, but understands that its not a
permanent solution and doesnt
provide a path to permanent resi-
dency or citizenship.
Its hard to deny that this pol-
icy will have a wonderful impact
in the immediate short term on
the lives of people who came here
as kids with their families who
had no say in whether or not they
came, she said. Tey know no
other home but the U.S.
Until this policy was passed,
even if undocumented students
could get through college, they
couldnt legally work. Now un-
documented students can get a
work permit and go on to pursue
the career of their choice.
Tese kids have been strug-
gling for so long and had no op-
tions, and now at least they can
have some options, Caminero-
Santangelo said.
Tanya Golash-Boza, a sociol-
ogy professor who teaches classes
about immigration, said the pro-
posal is better than nothing, but
more needs to happen in order to
make a real diference.
Its been a long time since we
have had a major change in immi-
gration laws, she said. We need
to change immigration policy,
and its unfortunate that it hasnt
happened yet on a national level.
Erin Fleming, a law student
from Miami, Fla. and advocate
for the Development, Relief and
Education for Alien Minors Act,
or DREAM Act, said the im-
migration policy means a lot to
everyone involved in the move-
ment.
Fleming said there are undocu-
mented students who have a fear
of being deported even afer the
immigration decision was an-
nounced, but she also knows
undocumented students who
are willing to stand up for their
rights.
Tey say, Here I am. I am an
American, and I am a student and
want to contribute to this coun-
try, Fleming said. Its a struggle
everyday to realize the country
you love is not accepting of you.

Woman found guilty
of stealing millions
from U2 bass player
DUBLIN An Irish jury unani-
mously found a former aide to
U2 bassist Adam Clayton guilty
of embezzlement Friday after she
spent more than 2.8 million ($3.6
million) of the musicians savings
on 22 thoroughbred horses, pricey
plane tickets and other indulgences
for herself and her family.
Carol Hawkins, 48, sat impassively
as each of the 181 guilty verdicts
was read out in Dublin Criminal
Court. She made no comment. Her
lawyers, who called no witnesses
during the three-week trial, said she
was still protesting her innocence.
Judge Patrick McCartan granted
Hawkins bail pending her sentenc-
ing July 6. Addressing the jurors, he
said: The evidence in this case was
overwhelming. Nobody could seri-
ously disagree with the verdict you
have given.
Hawkins had claimed that
Clayton either authorized her
expenditures including several
foreign trips, the horses, a new car
and university courses for her two
children or that she had paid him
back by using her own money to
pay his bills.
But Clayton said he was stunned
to fnd out about her purchases. He
testifed hed known nothing about
Hawkins four-year spending spree
and had given her access to his
bank accounts purely so she could
pay bills related to his Georgian
mansion, Danesmoate, in south
Dublin.
The fact is she wrote checks
from my accounts and put them
in her accounts. She was using my
accounts to pay her bills, Clayton
testifed last week.

As Fourth of July approaches, many
are shopping for freworks in prepara-
tion for the celebration. With the ex-
treme weather patterns that Kansas is
facing, the safety and health of individ-
uals and families will be a concern.
James King, division chief fre mar-
shal for the Lawrence Fire Department,
expressed several concerns for this
years summer holiday dealing with
freworks.
With the given weather conditions,
I think it would be good for people to
pay attention to the heat for health rea-
sons and where they decide to shoot
freworks, King said. People need to
make sure they are hydrated.
With the heat averaging in the mid
90s, many need to understand that the
surroundings they plan to shoot fre-
works in cant be dry.
When shooting freworks, the area
should be wet, King said. If its not,
you should wet it down and make sure
to have an extinguisher or bucket of
water with you to extinguish the pos-
sible fre.
Tis may seem unusual for some and
not a common safety rule, but Kelsey
Kempke, a senior from Ellsworth, says
this rule is nothing new to her.
Growing up in central Kansas this
time of year, it was always dry, and there
were always wind and heat advisories,
Kempke said. My parents would start
watering the grass the week of Fourth
of July every morning or every night
and the morning of Fourth of July.
With wind and heat advisories com-
bined, this creates a greater chance for
a fast-spreading fre, especially during
celebrations with newly lit freworks.
King said that there are only a few
freworks that are allowed in the city
and several illegal in the state of Kan-
sas.
Novelties can be used anywhere,
but away from structures, King said.
Novelties include party poppers,
snappers, snakes/glow worms, spar-
klers and toy caps.
Tese novelties can be used anytime
during the day or week of Fourth of
July. Other freworks, like Roman can-
dles, can be shot of in unincorporated
places at specifc times, although there
are specifc freworks that are banned
by the state that cannot be shot of oth-
erwise. Non-novelty freworks are not
permitted in the City of Lawrence at
any time.
Within the state, items such as
bottle rockets and sky rockets are pro-
hibited by state statute, King said. It
is prohibited in Kansas, all of Kansas.
Tis includes the unincorporated
places.
For some consumers, the fact that
they can get their hands on something
illegal sends an adrenaline rush. Colin
Wright, a senior from Wellsville, says
he goes to Missouri to purchase bottle
rockets for two reasons.
Part of it is because theyre illegal;
the other part is because they fy far
and explode, Wright said.
With adrenaline rushing for cel-
ebrations arriving in a few days, keep
in mind the safety issues that arise with
this summers heat advisory that efect
health and surroundings.

Latney didnt notice when the social
media site created an email applica-

when Facebook replaced her person-
al email address with an @facebook.

She wasnt pleased when she found

its none of their business for them to

According to Facebook news-
room, the change was made in order
to make addresses more consistent
across the site. Te user names peo-
ple use to get to timelines are used to
send emails directly to their messages
inbox. Te change may have started
on April 12, but it wasnt until this
week that users began to notice, and
the online community has expressed
criticism. Users were previously al-
lowed to show contact information
like Yahoo! and Gmail accounts, but
now most have been removed from
view.
Kayci Vickers, a behavioral neu-
roscience student at the University,
uses a Gmail and KU account and
said she doesnt see the need for a
third account.
I think it should always be a
choice. Tis is a kind of a small thing,
but I could see it jumping to a big
thing, Vickers said. I mean if theyre
comfortable doing this without tell-
ing us, then they could do anything.
Te change is not permanent
though. For those who want to of-

RIDGEWOOD, N.J. Te parents
of Tyler Clementi were ready to accept
a plea deal calling for no jail time for
their sons Rutgers University room-
mate, who used a webcam to see their
son and another man kissing.
But what they learned at trial made
them more convinced that the room-
mate, Dharun Ravi, deserved to be
sent to prison.
Tylers mother, Jane Clementi, said
it was only during the trial in March
that she learned her son had viewed
Ravis Twitter posts about the webcam
dozens of times in the hours before Ty-
ler killed himself in September 2010.
I did not realize he was in on the
joke, Jane Clementi said Friday in an
interview with Te Associated Press
and two other news outlets.
She said that detail made her under-
stand her sons pain more.
Te case drew worldwide attention
afer Clementis suicide in September
2010, just days afer the spying, and
made her late son into a symbol of the
perils of mistreating young gays.
Ravi was convicted in March of all
15 criminal counts he faced, includ-
ing bias intimidation and invasion of
privacy.
He was released from jail June 19
afer serving 20 days of a 30- day sen-
tence imposed by a judge who could
have given him up to 10 years in pris-
on.
In May, Ravi issued a statement in
which he said he was sorry and was
ready to serve his sentence. Te Clem-
entis said they didnt see it as an apol-
ogy, in part because it was not made
directly to them. Still, Joe Clementi
said, he expects to forgive Ravi, even-
tually.

The University admission
changes have raised standards, but
experts say it wont have an effect
on job outlook for graduates.
Its a lot about the experience,
said Nancy Defenbaugh, branch
manager at Manpower at 211 E 8th
St. in Lawrence. Defenbaugh said
real life experience is the best
thing for graduates. Manpower is
a company that helps people find
work in almost any field.
On June 20, the board of re-
gents approved new admission
standards for the University. Now
entering students must meet one
of two standards. According to
a KU news release, the first is a
minimum high school GPA of 3.0
and a score of 24 on the ACT. The
second requirement is a minimum
of 3.25 high school GPA and a 21
on the ACT. Students who do not
meet the two requirements will
have their applications reviewed
by a committee. The new require-
ments will not go into effect until
the year 2016.
The changes were made as a
way to ensure incoming students
are better prepared for college.
The University was also looking
for ways to increase graduation
and retention rates.
We wanted to increase the rate
of success of students, Chancellor
Bernadette Gray-Little said.
Along with admission stan-
dards, the University is also look-
ing into improving academic sup-
port in regards to advising and
mentoring.
But, whether that increases the
success of finding a job after grad-
uating, is unsure.
I think the idea behind it is
definitely good that they want to
try and ratchet up the academic
standing, said Brian Danley, a
graduate student in Economics
from Barlesville, Okla.
But Danley said the effect the
higher standards will have on job
outlook would depend on what
the student is doing. Danley said
a universitys prestige is more im-
portant when looking into grad
schools than looking for jobs.
Defenbaugh said where you go
to school and how tough it is to
get admitted wont make a differ-
ence in the job search. Defenbaugh
said that education is important,
but the universities should push
internships. When employers are
looking to hire, they are going to
look at experience.

Kansas denied waiver
to No Child Left Behind
TOPEKA, Kan. Kansas isnt
among the latest fve states granted
relief from a No Child Left Behind
requirement that all students test
profcient in math and science by
2014.
But the head of the Kansas
Department of Education says she
expects that the announcement is
coming soon.
State Education Commissioner
Diane DeBacker said Friday that
the last issue being discussed was
the states plan for changing how it
evaluates teachers and principals.
After Congress failed to change
the law, President Barack Obama
told states last fall they could seek a
waiver around the unpopular pro-
fciency requirements in exchange
for actions his administration favors.
Revamping evaluations is among
the priorities.
DeBacker says federal ofcials
like that the state is piloting a
new evaluation system. She says
prospects for obtaining a waiver are
looking good.

Te learning environment on
Ellsworth Halls fourth foor will be
intense now through July 21 as the
Jayhawk Debate institute takes over.
Coaches from the University and
other colleges run the debate camp
for high school students.
Te Universitys debate team has
been successful since its formation
in 1885, qualifying for the National
Debate Tournament 53 out of 63
years it has been in commission,
fnishing seven times in the top fve,
and becoming champions twice, in
2006 and 2008.
It is like being a part of a dynas-
ty, Coach Kelly Winfrey says. It is
a well-established debate program
with a lot of success.
Winfrey says the campers will
learn debate strategies, research
strategies and put together argu-
ments. It is a good bonding expe-
rience, and the debaters are able to
meet kids their age from all over the
country.
Te KU camp has all of the ben-
efts of the camps far away, and its
close to home, said Logan Ochsner,
student at Free State High School.
Its cheaper and just as prestigious.
Campers are allowed to choose
from the two-week, three-week,
or four-week sessions. Prices are
from $900 without room & board to
$2,300 and with room & board.
Im here for the level of compe-
tition, said Alex Holden, student at
Blue Valley Northwest in Overland
Park. His goal is to win frst place at
Nationals, and hes going keep work-
ing with partners to do it.

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. Happy
hour is legal once again in Kansas, and
while not every bar owner has immedi-
ate plans to start ofering limited-time
drink specials, many are pleased theyll
stop losing business to neighboring
states like Missouri.
Te end of the happy-hour ban in-
stituted by Kansas in 1985 is among
numerous liquor law changes taking
efect Sunday under legislation signed
by Gov. Sam Brownback in late May.
Others include letting certain win-
eries sell and serve their products on
their premises and permitting retailers
such as grocery and liquor stores to of-
fer free samples and hold wine and beer
tastings although grocery stores still
cannot sell wine and hard liquor, Te
Kansas City Star reported Saturday.
Te 1985 ban on happy hour tech-
nically prohibited bars and restaurants
from changing drink prices during the
day. Lawmakers were concerned the
promotions led to drunken driving by
encouraging patrons to consume too
much, too quickly, especially in the tra-
ditional afer-work happy hour period.
But the ban had some perhaps un-
foreseen consequences. Many owners
responded by ofering daylong spe-
cials, such as well drinks for $2.50 or
bottles of beer for $2. And along the
states eastern border, patrons could
simply head to the nearest Missouri
bar ofering happy hour.
Adam Mills, president and chief
executive ofcer of the Wichita-based
Kansas Restaurant & Hospitality As-
sociation, called the changes in the
liquor laws a big victory for Kansas
establishments.
Now they can compete on an even
playing feld with Missouri businesses,
Mills said.

CHICAGO Chicagos City Coun-
cil on June 27 passed an ordinance that
allows police to ticket people found
with small amounts of marijuana in-
stead of arresting them.
Te 43-3 vote in favor of the ordi-
nance, which allows ofcers to write
a ticket for $250 to $500 for possess-
ing as much as 15 grams of marijuana
or about 15 marijuana cigarettes, was
expected afer a council committee ap-
proved the measure 13-1 last week.
But aldermen still debated about
two hours before passing the ordi-
nance, with many saying they were not
comfortable with a measure that could
be seen as sending a message that they
are condoning drug use. Others said
they needed to act to protect an in-
creasingly nervous city where homi-
cides are up 38 percent this year.
Te calls I get at 2 oclock in the
morning are not about marijuana pos-
session, theyre about someone whos
been shot in my ward, Alderman Will
Burns said before the council voted
Wednesday. I want those calls to cease
and the way we do that is to make sure
our police are fghting violent crime.
Police Superintendant Garry Mc-
Carthy said in a statement earlier this
month that the arrests of more than
18,000 people for misdemeanor pos-
session of 10 grams or less of mari-
juana tied up more than 45,000 police
hours and that the new ordinance
nearly cuts that time in half.
Of the 8,625 misdemeanor mari-
juana cases between 2006 and 2010 in
Cook County, about 87 percent were
dismissed, according to the Cook
County Clerk of the Circuit Court.
Alderman Danny Solis focused
much of his argument on his estimate
that the tickets given for marijuana
possession would bring in as much as
$7 million a year in revenue to the f-
nancially strapped city.
Solis said cutting the time that of-
fcers spend making those arrests adds
up to 2,500 more police days that of-
fcers will be on the street.

Saving your money can do more
than pad your wallet. According to
a recent report by University social
welfare professor Terri Friedline,
children ages 13 to 17 who have
access to savings accounts and re-
lationships with financial institu-
tions have a higher chance of being
successful with their finances later
in life.
The report focuses on the bene-
fits of helping children become in-
volved in financial activities, such
as opening a bank account, so they
begin to learn about and feel in-
volved in the financial process.
Its important to include young
people in these financial services so
they have access to these types of
accounts but also to give them the
education and the knowledge to be
able to use their accounts wisely
and to make decisions that are ap-
propriate for them, Friedline said.
Matt Cross, senior from Kansas
City, Kan., said he never had a sav-
ings account growing up because
he didnt have money to put in it.
I had absolutely no guidance
in saving because from where Im
from, saving is the start of a good
joke you tell your friends, Cross
said. It cannot happen.
For this, Friedline said possible
legislative acts could help overcome
such issues.
One act in particular, the ASPIRE
Act, would set up saving funds for
every newborn child with $500.
From then it would have restric-
tions similar to retirement funds
or 401(k)s, such as penalties for
withdrawing before a certain year,
Friedline said.
ASPIRE was first introduced in
2004, and most recently in 2010,
but has yet to pass committee.
But Friedline said its not the
amount in the account thats im-
portant.
From what we know so far,
it might not be that the actual
amount of money in the account
matters so much, its perhaps more
just owning the account creates
this expectation that kids can go to
college later in life so they prepare
throughout their whole lives for a
future that might not have seemed
possible without this savings ac-
count, Friedline said.
Though Will Parke, a senior
from Dallas, had a savings account
growing up and his parents encour-
aged him to save, he said he didnt
realize the importance of saving
until college. He plans on starting
savings accounts for his children
and wants to give them knowledge
of their savings.
Children shouldnt have mon-
ey, but should know what a dollar
buys, and what a dollar truly costs,
he said. Only then can they start
saving their own earnings, and I
will provide knowledge towards
that goal.
Friedline said getting families
to involve children in finances
whether the ASPIRE Act has passed
or not can empower kids to con-
tinue their involvement with their
finances through life.

WASHINGTON Congress
emphatically approved legislation
June 29 avoiding interest rate in-
creases on new loans to millions of
college students, giving lawmakers
campaign-season bragging rights
on what may be their biggest eco-
nomic achievement before the No-
vember elections.
The bill sent for President Barack
Obamas signature ends a bare-
knuckle political battle over stu-
dent loans that raged since spring,
a proxy fight over which party was
best helping voters muddle through
the economic downturn.
Obama signed a one-week tem-
porary measure Friday evening,
permitting the loan program to
continue until the full legislation
reaches his desk.
Under the bill, interest rates of
3.4 percent for subsidized Stafford
loans for undergraduates will con-
tinue for another year, instead of
doubling for new loans beginning
on Sunday as scheduled by a law
passed five years ago to save mon-
ey.
Had the measure failed, interest
rates would have mushroomed to
6.8 percent for 7.4 million students
expected to get the loans over the
coming year, adding an extra $1,000
to the average cost of each loan and
antagonizing students and their
parents four months from Elec-
tion Day.
The Democratic-led Senate sent
the measure to Obama by a 74-19
vote, just minutes after the Republi-
can-run House approved it 373-52.
The unusual display of harmony,
in a bitterly partisan year, signaled
lawmakers eagerness to claim cred-
it for providing transportation jobs,
to avert higher costs for students
and their families and to avoid be-
ing embarrassed had the effort run
aground.
To raise other revenue, the gov-
ernment will start charging inter-
est on subsidized Stafford loans no
more than six years after under-
graduates begin their studies. To-
day no interest is charged until af-
ter graduation, no matter how long
that takes.

Kansas forward Tomas Robin-
son was selected in the frst round
with the ffh overall pick in the
2012 NBA Draf by the Sacramen-
to Kings, making him the highest
drafed player in the Bill Self era
at Kansas. Kansas guard Tyshawn
Taylor was selected with the 11th
pick of the the second round by the
Portland Trailblazers, but was im-
mediately traded to the Brooklyn
Nets.
Holding back the tears, Robinson
said only a few strong words afer
he was picked.
Im just glad to be here, he said
in an interview afer stepping of
stage. Ive got work to do.
Te 6-8 forward averaged 17.7
points and 11.9 rebounds during his
junior year at Kansas. Robinson was
a consensus 1st team All-American
and runner-up to the Naismith
National Player of the Year award,
which went to Anthony Davis of
Kentucky, who was the frst overall
pick in the draf.
Robinson will join a team led by
guard Tyreke Evans, a former rook-
ie of the year, and center DeMarcus
Cousins, the ffh pick of the 2010
NBA draf.
In his post-draf interview with
Craig Sager from NBA on TNT,
Robinson was still overcome with
emotions.
I earned this, Robinson said.
I worked for it. Teres nothing
cant nobody take that from me.
Taylor was expected to get draf-
ed late in the frst round or early
second round, but he was prepared
for any outcome.
Its weird, because I thought to
myself at the beginning of the draf
that I probably would get drafed by
a team that I didnt work out for,
Taylor said in a teleconference af-
ter the draf. And thats exactly the
case with Brooklyn.
Te 6-3 guard averaged 16.6
points and 4.8 assists his senior year
at Kansas. Taylor was a third team
All-American and frst team All-Big
12.
Since Taylor was drafed in the
second round, he is not guaranteed
a contract for the upcoming season.
However, Taylor believes the expe-
rience he gained at Kansas will help
him at the next level.
I feel like I have the opportu-
nity anyway because of what I can
bring for a team. I can defend,
Taylor said. Being a four-year
player at a university like Kansas,
I think, gives me a step up in com-
petition of coming into the league
ready ready to play right now.
Kansas head coach Bill Self said
Taylors relentless work ethic will
help him stick in the league.
Hes not scared of work, Self
said. And his athletic ability and
his talent will win out over time
because all hes got to do is just be
who he is.
Te Nets were from New Jer-
sey, where Taylor grew up, but
now the team has a new owner,
Russian billionaire Mikhail Prok-
horov, who moved the Nets to

track
Dixon chases dreams with speed, heart
Te lifelong Olympic dream is ex-
actly 400 meters away for Diamond
Dixon: just once around the track for
the fnal round of Olympic Trials in
Eugene, Ore. on June 24.
Dixons red Adidas dig into the
blocks, waiting for the shot to start
the race. Te frst three fnishers in
the fnals will go on to run the indi-
vidual 400-meter event in London;
the top six will be entered into the
relay pool of runners for the 4x400
relay team.
Never before has a female from
the University of Kansas earned a
spot on the U.S. Olympic team for a
track event.
It would mean everything, Dixon
said about making the Olympic team,
because Ive worked so hard.
Te pistol fres, but Dixon is the
slowest to react, according to USA
track and feld website results.
Afer 200 meters, she is still in the
race, but slowly fading out of conten-
tion. She appears to be in danger of
fnishing in last place afer 300 me-
ters.
She fghts to gain speed with just
100 meters lef in the race. Her arms
work furiously and her legs carry
her across the fnish. Her eyes search
Hayward Field for her time, hoping
to see a 50 next to her name. She has
never run faster than 51 seconds.
I was so sick of looking at that 51,
said Dixon, a junior from Houston.
She still cant fnd her time.
Reporters inform Dixon during
the post-race interview that she fn-
ished ffh. Her time of 50.88 seconds
is the fastest of her life. Her frustra-
tion fades away as excitement sets in.
I accomplished one of my dreams
today, Dixon said, tears in her eyes
as reporters cluster around. Making
the Olympic team.
Having Heart
Dixons coach Stanley Redwine,
knew that the fnal round of trials
would be a challenge and that she
would need to fght, he said. Te
disappointment of failing to win an
NCAA title still weighed heavily on
her, she said, and some of her per-
formances at trials were not what she
wanted. But still, Dixon found the
strength in her to make the fnals.
Redwines words before the race
were not much diferent from those
before most NCAA races. She could
see it on his face though, and hear it
in his voice. She needed to see past
her weaker performances and get
back to running like herself.
My biggest word for her was to
make sure she knew what her capa-
bilities were, Redwine said.
Knowing ones capabilities can be
difcult at this type of event, because
every runner at the Olympic trials is
talented. Tese are the fastest run-
ners in the world, Dixon said.
Te diference between winning
and losing at this level is measured
in tenths of a second. Speed can get
a runner to this race, but the will to
win is what determines those tenths
of a second.
Its whatever heart that you have,
Dixon told the media following the
fnal.
For Dixon, having heart is a little
more complex: she said that she will
always have a little hole in hers a
piece taken by a mother and sister
who abandoned her when she was
still little.
She tried not to think about that
growing up, but now she admits the
loss fueled her. She flled the hole
with her love of running.
My heart is in it. I love track,
Dixon said to media afer the race.
You just have to love what youre do-
ing and want what you think you de-
serve. Nobody is less than anybody
else out here.
Motivation
Everything Dixon does, she does
with a purpose, said freshman hur-
dle-runner Michael Stigler, who has
become close friends with Dixon.
He said that of the track, Dixon
is quiet, funny and just likes to chill.
But there is no joking around when
she is at practice or in the weight
room. Stigler said he believes this
hard working attitude is responsible
for Dixons success.
Her competitiveness is out of this
world. Shes a fghter, Stigler said.
She fghts harder than anyone I
know because she wants it.
Dixon said that her own motiva-
tion to succeed in running came
from her desire to achieve more in
life than her mother who lef her.
She said she did not want to make
the same mistakes: being a pregnant
teenager who then had a child she
could not provide for.
Tat motivated me to stay in
school and do what Im supposed to
do, Dixon said. And defnitely be
better than my mother. Everything
that Im doing, that fuels it a lot.
Redwine, who has overseen Dix-
ons career for the past two years, said
that the runner has something that
cannot be coached. Some athletes
want it more than others, he said, and
that is something Dixon has.
Tat just comes from her inner
will to achieve, Redwine said.
Ill never be satisfed. Dixon said.
Success is only what youve accom-
plished so far and what you will ac-
complish in the future.
Living her dreams
A place on the Olympic team: that
has been the prize Dixon has sought
for as long as she has been running
track, and her family knows that.
Afer her race at the Olympic Trials,
Dixons phone rang. It was her sister.
She was calling from North Caro-
lina to congratulate Diamond on her
achievement. Te two are still work-
ing to build the relationship they
never had as kids. Diamond said
there have been glitches, but that
she was nevertheless happy to hear
from her sister afer the race.
Te hole lef in Dixons heart when
her mother lef years ago will re-
main forever, but Dixon said she is
thankful for the people who were
there to help her through the rough
times.
She said she fnds her story amaz-
ing.
I think I should write a book,
Dixon said with a laugh.
She is quick to emphasize that this
is only the beginning, and that new
goals lie ahead.
Her next dream is always about
400 meters away.
Well see if my legs can take me
there, Dixon said.

Kansas swimmers
compete in trials
A trio of Jayhawk swimmers
is currently competing in the
2012 Olympic Swimming Trials in
Omaha, Neb.
Danielle Hermann, the current
volunteer assistant to the Kansas
swim team, fnished frst in the
ffth heat of the 200 IM during pre-
liminaries on June 27. She fnished
33rd out of 124 swimmers, with a
time of 2:18.07.
It was a great swim, very well
put together, and is a new Kansas
Aquatics record, so I cannot be any
happier for her, said Kansas swim
coach Clark Campbell in a state-
ment to the KU Athletic Depart-
ment.
Not far behind Hermann in the
200 IM was junior Brooke Brull,
the captain for next years Kansas
swim team, with
a time of 2:21.25.
She placed 85th
overall.
Incoming
freshman Chelsie
Miller fnished
the fourth heat
three spots
behind Brull with a
time of 2:24.50.
Brull swam again on Saturday
and fnished 122nd, which was not
enough to qualify for the
semifnals.

Track stars try to
cross fnal hurdles
On the
last day of
U.S. Olympic
qualifying,
Andrea Geu-
belle and Mi-
chael Stigler
were in action
vying for a trip
to London July 1 at Hayward Field
in Eugene, Ore. Unfortunately, nei-
ther was able to book their trip.
Competing in the eight man
fnal round of the mens 400-meter
hurdles, Stigler needed a top-
three fnish to earn a spot on the
Olympic Team. Stigler ran a 49.50
to advance to the fnal round June
30, but he ran a 50.63 the next day
which earned him seventh place.
Geubelle was attempting to
make it to London in the long
jump on July 1. In order to accom-
plish that task, she needed a jump
of 22-1 3/4 ft. (6.75m). After three
rounds of jumps, her best mark
was 20-7 3/4 ft. (6.29m), which was
not enough to earn three more
jumps. She fnished the event in
11th place. Geubelle won a bronze
medal in the triple jump earlier in
the week, marking the best fnish
by a female Kansas athlete since
2000.
University track athletes senior
Rebeka Stowe and junior Mason
Finley also competed for Olympic
spots.
Stowe, competing in the
3,000meter steeplechase, needed
at least a top-fve fnish in her heat
or one top-14 fnal time to ad-
vance. With the pressure on, Stow
ran a 9:53.67, which was enough
to earn the last available qualify-
ing spot for the fnal round. Stowe
ran in the 3,000-meter Steeple-
chase June 30. She had one of
her best performances of the year
fnishing with a time of 10:02.82
and a 13th place fnish, but it was
not enough for a trip to London.
Finley was competing to ad-
vance to the fnal round of quali-
fying in discus. Finley failed to
advance by six inches with his fnal
throw of 58.59 meters (192-2 ft.).
Diamond Dixon qualifed for the
Olympics in the 400-meter run on
June 25.
