Welcome.
Welcome to the University
of Kansas, summer edition.
Whether youre in Lawrence for
the frst time or a seasoned vet-
eran of the River City, youre in
for an experience.
The University is a micro-
cosm of the city that houses it;
its a great place to be during
any season, but it takes on a
special atmosphere in the sum-
mer. When a large portion of
the student body skips town for
a few months, life doesnt stop,
but it slows down.
We at The University Daily
Kansan want to convey that
same action. While our publi-
cation technically turns into a
weekly affair, were proud to
keep the daily in our masthead.
Thats because we put the same
commitment into each of our
stories in the summer as we do
during the fall and spring se-
mesters. We may only put out a
print version once a week, but
Kansan.com will be updated
more frequently. Our hope is
that you, the reader, will con-
tinue to rely on the Kansan
for your news and entertain-
ment.
The best way for us to ensure
that this happens is through
open communication. We want
to know your news, and we
want to know what you think of
what were doing. Shoot us an
e-mail or give us a call when
something is on your mind.
On behalf of myself and
the entire summer staff, Wel-
come.

Tobacco-free policy to
begin in September
The University of Kansas Medi-
cal Center and the University of
Kansas Hospital have adopted a to-
bacco-free policy to begin on Sept.
1, 2006. Currently, tobacco prod-
ucts are allowed outside the build-
ings on the shared campus.
The policy was put into effect
after numerous studies proved to-
bacco is the leading cause of death
from disease for both those who
smoke and those who are exposed
to second-hand smoke, Barbara
Atkinson, MD, executive vice chan-
cellor of the University of Kansas
Medical Center said in a press re-
lease.
For many years, we have dis-
cussed the inconsistency of advo-
cating a healthy lifestyle while con-
tinuing to allow the use of tobacco
products on campus, Atkinson
said.
The tobacco-free policy will also
apply to KU MedWest in Shawnee
and the new Westwood Center of
the hospital.

mentoring, instructional devel-
opment, faculty evaluation and
promotion and tenure processes,
as well as developed several pro-
grams such as the Center for Teach-
ing Excellence, according to a press
release from University Relations.
Gautt received her doctorate in
special education from the Uni-
versity of Missouri-Columbia and
worked there as an administrator
until 1984. In 1984 she took a leave
of absence to serve as a special
assistant to KU Chancellor Gene
Budig for the year. She returned to
KU in 1989 as assistant vice chan-

Ugliest building on KU
campus to get makeover
$3.5 million renovation to add extra space for spanish, history departments
By Fred A. dAvis iii
fdavis@kansan.com
Kansan sEnIOR staff wRItER
Call it a pseudo extreme makeover
Wescoe Hall Edition.
The fagship building for the Humanities
department and oft-referred ugliest build-
ing on campus is getting a $3.5 million
addition to its south side to increase offce
space to its already cramped quarters.
Funding for the project comes from a
combination of money set aside specifcally
for building renovations and money accrued
from unused campus program savings, It
will be the frst substantial addition to Wes-
coe in the buildings 33-year history.
After years of squeezing and squeezing,
this will give people more breathing room,
said Paul DAnieri, associate dean of Col-
lege of Liberal Arts and Sciences. The addi-
tion will bring 20,000 sq. ft. to the patio area
above the Underground.
The reality of adding the extra space to
Wescoe evolved after school offcials real-
ized it would cost about $75,000 to seal that
area, thus it was decided to move forward
and try to convert the area into much-need-
ed offce space.
We were hiring people and literally had
nowhere to put them, DAnieri said about
the space crunch.
Don Steeples, vice provost for scholarly
support, who also oversees the offce of
space management, said that the deciding
factor to transform the space was the abil-
ity to construct two foors out of the porch
area.
The Spanish & Portuguese and History
departments will inhabit the 70 to 80 new of-
fces created by the addition. Construction is
expected to begin on the project June 19, and
is expected to be fnish by March of 2007.
Steeples said he expects the departments
to move into their new spaces during spring
break of 2007 and be fully functioning when
school reconvenes after the break.
Steeples said that the Wescoe Infll, as
the project is referred, will bring a slightly
different look compared to the rest of the
building, most notably the windows.
Were trying to get away from the prison
window look, Steeples said, referring to
Wescoes slim-shaped windows that appear
eerily similar to prison windows.
Ten years from now, someone
looking at the southwest corner of the Wes-
coe will probably be able to say, Yeah, thats
probably an infll, Steeples said.
Big 12 not adding additional
conference game for 2006
By JAck Weinstein
jweinstein@kansan.com
Kansan staff wRItER
The Big 12 conference will not add a ninth
conference football game to its schedule, as
proposed at the Big 12 coaches and athlet-
ic directors spring meeting on May 23, in
Colorado Springs. If it had, the conference
would have eliminated one non-conference
game to make up for the additional confer-
ence game beginning in 2008.
According to an e- mail from Big 12
Conference Associate Commissioner Bob
Burda, the prospect of adding another con-
ference game to the schedule is offcially off
the table. The Big 12 football coaches and
athletics directors decided not to bring it
to a vote when they convened at the spring
meeting.
The Conference will move forward with
future schedules consisting of eight games
through 2011, or possibly 2015, Burda
wrote.
Originally, it was thought that the Big
12 Conference presidents would vote on
whether to add the extra conference game
when they met yesterday and Monday in
Kansas City, Mo.
Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchio-
ny didnt think the idea to add a conference
game to the schedule was a popular one at
the meeting in Colorado Springs.
There was very little support for the pro-
posal amongst members of the conference,
Marchiony said by phone from Corvallis,
Ore., where he was attending the frst round
of the NCAA Baseball Tournament The Uni-
versity of Kansas is not in favor of it.
Marchiony said that its already tough
enough to create an even schedule each
year without having to add another confer-
ence game to the mix. The way the schedule
is set up now allows the University fexiblity
to schedule whomever it wants.
He said that the issue had been raised to
ease scheduling diffculties in the non con-
ference, not for the TV revenue generated
by having an extra conference game on the
schedule.
Dr. Don Green, professor of Chemical
Engineering at KU, attended the meetings
yesterday and Monday in Kansas City, Mo.,
as the faculty athletic representative to the
NCAA and the Big 12 Conference. Chancel-
lor Hemenway is on vacation and will be out
of his offce until June 13.
The meeting will determine the loca-
tions of championships sites for basketball
and football for the 2007 and 2008 seasons
as well as cover any recommendations
discussed in the coaches and athletics
directors meeting that took place in May.

Dear Students, Faculty and Chan-
cellor Hemenway,
Congratulations to the Jayhawks
for selecting Richard Lariviere to
be your Provost and Executive Vice
Chancellor! I envy you for your fu-
ture days, weeks and years that shall
be spent sharing the blessings and
good fortune of one among this
Earths classiest human beings. Dr.
Lariviere exudes strong leadership
(softly spoken), highest integrity,
exemplary character, judicious wis-
dom and superior intellectual vigor.
And to top off all that, few are more
diligent regarding generosity and
service to the community. He is the
complete educator and citizen!
As the Provost strides along Jay-
hawk Boulevard or you encoun-
ter him in and around Strong Hall
please extend him a warm welcome
and hello. Nothing elaborate, noth-
ing fawning or cheesy, just your per-
sonal greeting.
Richard Lariviere will be deeply
missed on the Forty Acres and be-
yond. There are folks in Texas and
Longhorns around the world who
have not yet come to realize how
much he will be missed. Those of us
who admired daily his legendarily
good taste in suits, dress shirts and
ties, as well as his engaging assort-
ment of hats, will miss the smile that
came with the clothes and the man.
But more deeply, we will miss the
comfort that accompanied the ap-
proach of a man most trustworthy,
most hard-working, fearless, sharp,
well-informed and wise. Kansans
will gain the spoils of his intellectual
verve and commitment to better-
ing education. Ironically, many will
attend Longhorn and Jayhawk ath-
letic competitions with heightened
interest. I cannot help but think that
we have lost a much more conse-
quential, yet nonetheless friendly,
competition to strive for academic
excellence to KU. Your selection of
Richard Lariviere as Provost and
Executive Vice Chancellor wins for
the University of Kansas a signif-
cant boost in human and intellectual
capital. His departure represents a
signifcant loss for the state of Texas
and the University of Texas. I salute
you for your wisdom and good for-
tune! When you speak your plain hi
or hello, please extend patience and
understanding from the bottom of
your heart. I promise you that my
former boss, your frst-class leader
will not let you down. Hes simply
the best!
Sincerely,
Othell Ballage Jr.

New provost ready to help
staf, faculty and students
By Fred A. dAvis iii
fdavis@kansan.com
Kansan senior staff writer
So far, so good.
Thats the initial impression from
new provost and executive vice chan-
cellor Robert Lariviere two days into
his new job at the University of Kan-
sas.
After 24 years at the University of
Texas in Austin, where he served the
past seven years as dean of the College
of Liberal Arts, Lariviere was selected
as provost in February.
This is a great job. KU is an impor-
tant institution nationally, and to com-
bine the jobs of provost and executive
vice chancellor, this job is a great op-
portunity, Lariviere said.
Granted, Lariviere has not had much
time to delve into any serious campus
business, though he is aware of some
of the issues facing the University and
has preliminary ideas of what he envi-
sions for it while still learning about
the University.
KU is at a huge advantage because
its a very good research institution, yet
it has maintained a culture that places
a big value on its quality of education,
Lariviere said. I want to figure out
ways to help faculty and staff tell the
story of KU, loudly and effectively.
Lariviere is also aware of what he is
inheriting.
Lariviere said he has yet to meet with
all the faculty at the University and that
he wants to listen to their needs and
ideas before he decides on what issues
to tackle. He said he wants to under-
stand the priorities of the faculty and
students before evaluating what tal-
ents he has to address those priorities.
Concerning his decision to leave
UT, Lariviere said that after 24 years
in Austin, it was the right time for a
change, and KU provided that change.
Lariviere said he would definitely miss
his friends from Austin but that hed do
just fine without the 100-degree heat
from early-April to late-November.
Lariviere wouldnt concede wholly
that KU would be his last professional
stop, yet affirms that he cant see him-
self going anywhere else in the future.
The 56-year-old Lariviere, a self-pro-
claimed work-nerd said that KU stu-
dents can expect him to work really
hard to give them the best education
possible with the resources we have.
I was the beneficiary of that type of
education, and I know how important
and valuable it is. he said.

6 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, JUNE 7, 2006
BY DANI HURST
dhurst@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
After almost a month of wait-
ing, ve members of Theta Chi
fraternity, 1003 Emery Road, found
out they were ofcially suspended
from the organization. E-mails were
sent May 29, following a member-
ship review that took place at the
end of the spring semester. The re-
view was conducted by the alumni
Corporation Board of the Deta Psi
chapter of Theta Chi.
Some of the members were in-
vited back, but are on academic
probation.
Ryan Gerstner, president of the
Corporation Board, said that the
alumni had seen some unfavor-
able trends and that the Board was
taking preemptive actions before it
turned into a real problem. About
45 of the 68 members went through
the review process, Gerstner said.
Those who didnt were either grad-
uating seniors or men who decided
not to return next year.
Im personally excited about it,
Gerstner said. It gives the guys a
clean slate. It gets them refocused
on goals and being achievers.
Thats what Greek life is all about.
However, not everyone is as
enthusiastic about the changes.
Hunter McDowell, Indianapolis,
Ind. junior, was one of the men not
invited back to Theta Chi. He said
he thinks its unfair that the alumni
can pick and choose who is in and
who is out.
A newly-created Facebook
group shows that McDowell is not
alone in his sentiments. Theta Chi
rejects, of which McDowell is a
member, has as its description the
following: A group for all those
who have been freed from the
tyranny of the Theta Chi Delta Psi
chapters alumni.
Doug Tiffany, Lenexa senior,
creator of the group, declined com-
ment.
According to the e-mail sent out,
those who were not invited back
will still have alumni status upon
graduation.
The membership review pro-
cess consisted of two main com-
ponents; a written questionnaire
about grades and their leadership
in the fraternity and an interview
with a small group of alumni. In the
interview, the men discussed what
mistakes they might have made
regarding property damage to the
house and how they planned to
better the fraternity next year.
The decision to conduct the re-
view was made completely by the
Corporation Board, without any
input from either the national orga-
nization or the University.
Dave Westol, chief executive
ofcer of Theta Chi fraternity, said
that he was contacted by a member
of the Corporation Board who was
concerned about the fraternity and
wanted to know how to conduct
the review. Westol said he was
supportive of the decision because
it showed that the Board was tak-
ing responsibility for its house with
the appropriate actions.
Reuben Perez, director of the
Student Involvement and Leader-
ship Center, conrmed that the
University had no involvement
in the decision, and said its not
uncommon for a chapter to go
through this process.
It doesnt mean theyre in trou-
ble, Perez said. Sometimes the
alumni want to change things.
One of the biggest changes in
the house was to the executive
board roster. The alumni replaced
the president and vice-president.
The vice-president was promoted
to president, and the new vice-
president, Murtaza Khan, Wichita
senior, was selected from the gen-
eral membership of the house.
Brandon Dunklau, Olathe se-
nior, and new Theta Chi president,
said that it may look bad, but all
Greek houses go through highs
and lows.
I think it will be a positive thing
for the house, Dunklau said. It
needed to be done. It will be to the
benet of our house.
There is an appeal process for
those members not invited back to
the house. All appeals are to be no
more than two pages long, typed

Thanks to extensive input from residents,
Hashinger Hall will be a new breed of resi-
dence halls after renovations are completed.
Malakai Edison, Olathe senior, and Hash-
inger resident of four years, said hes happy
with the way the renovations are working
out because the students ideas and sugges-
tions were taken into account. He joined the
Renovation Committee, which was made up
of students and administrators from Student
Housing and other students, to help ensure
that things were being done to accommodate
the residents and not just Student Housing.
The bedrooms, for example, were one
of the areas of great interest to students.
According to Edison, the original plan was
to transform the rooms from their original
dorm-style to elaborate suite-style. Edison
voiced his complaints, claiming that the
dorm-style rooms contributed to the com-
munity feel that denes Hashinger.
His arguments proved effective, and the
rooms remained dorm-style.
Vince Avila, associate director for facilities
planning and development for Student Hous-
ing, said most of the changes that were made
to Hashinger were requested by the students.
They wanted community bathrooms,
Avila said. Thats why we have them.
Denton Nichols, project architect for Treanor
Architects, said that he was most proud of the
project because it re-
ally reects the stu-
dents. He said it looks
new but still feels like
the old Hashinger.
Its one of the
most successful
projects in my short career, Nichols said.
The students should get a lot of credit. They
had a lot to do with it.
Some of the major renovations include
more specialized program and practice rooms
for both music and dance, small sinks in the
rooms, community bathrooms and sheet rock
walls to accommodate those students wanting
to display artwork on all of the walls in Hash-
inger.
Edison said he was ne with the renova-
tions as long as they didnt hide the past. For
example, hes happy that there will be sheet
rock walls that make it easier to display art-
work, so long as there are still some cinder
block walls left alone.
He will be returning to Hashinger for his fth
year, this time as the desk manager. Edison
said a lot of old residents were coming back.
Diana Hall, Horton senior, said that shes
excited to get back to the diverse and open
culture of Hashinger.
I consider it my home away from home, Hall
said. Coming back is like coming back home.
Avila said all the renovations on the 15-month
project should be done in time for the students
to move in at the beginning of the fall semester.
While nothing is set, Avila said GSP-Corbin
Hall or Oliver Hall would be the next project.

Construction on campus during the
summer months has become a common
theme. For the past few weeks, bright or-
ange road closed signs have been block-
ing trafc on Jayhawk Boulevard and Sun-
nyside Avenue.
Current projects include the re-paving of
roads, the addition of the Docking gateway
near 13th street and Oread Avenue, and the
remodeling of the food court in the Kansas
Union.
While the noisy construction and blocked
streets may serve as an inconvenience to
students and faculty waiting for the summer
session to start, many still believe all of the
work is a necessary evil.
Warren Corman, University architect for
the department of Business and Financial
Planning, said it is common for problems to
arise on projects of this magnitude, but over-
all everything is still running smoothly.
I think most people understand you have
to x things up when theyre falling apart,
Corman said. I say give us a better way.
The paving projects included sections of
Jayhawk Blvd. outside of the Kansas Union
and the Chi-Omega fountain, and areas of
Sunnyside Avenue. They should all be com-
pleted by the end of this week, Corman
said.
The new gateway, perhaps the gem of
all of the projects, is the result of a half-
million dollar donation by former state Lt.
Governor Tom Docking and his wife, Jill,
both KU alumni. The gateway will include a
fountain with ve jets shooting water ver-
tically. It is scheduled to be completed in
September.
Pat Beard, Building Services Director for
KU Memorial Unions, has been overseeing
the construction inside the Union. He ex-
pressed excitement over the new gateway
and the improvements to the union because
he said that it will hopefully bring more traf-
c and prestige to the location.
We were kind of the back door of cam-
pus, Beard said.
Beard said the union has been slowly try-
ing to reduce its afliation with franchises in
the food court, citing the end of their rela-
tionship with Burger King. He said the com-
pany refused to change its method of cook-
ing burgers on the spot, which became a
conict in the interest of time. The Union will
introduce its own hamburger station that will
place more of an emphasis on speed.
Also part of the renovations is moving the
old coffee shop from the food court to the
fourth oor across from Commerce Bank, al-
lowing the salad bar in the food court to ex-
pand. The sushi bar will also double in size.
He added that there will be tables and
chairs placed outside the Union to create a
sidewalk caf-type feel, similar to that at
The Underground.
There is close to $500 million in other
projects either currently being completed, in
the planning process or in fundraising at KU,
Corman said.
Hashinger Hall, closed for all of last year
because of remodeling, is scheduled to be
completed and open to students in August.

Familiar with the saying April showers
bring May fowers?
Well, after observing the Big 12 Cham-
pion Kansas softball team and hearing from
coach Tracy Bunge, it is obvious that the new
rhyme should be May showers bring soft-
ball powers.
We played real bad that weekend and
for most of the game against Wichita State,
Kansas coach Bunge said of Kansas May
3 game against Oklahoma. Then the rain
started, and Serena came out with her home
run afterwards. If that rain delay had can-
celed the game, who knows what would
have happened.
Nobody knows what would have hap-
pened without the downpour, but what did
happen was that Serena Settlemiers homer
sparked Kansas to reach new heights with
an eight-game winning streak, the programs
frst Big 12 Championship and an NCAA Re-
gional berth.
On May 11, the Jayhawks began their im-
probable run to the Big 12 Tournament title
in Oklahoma City. Kansas, which entered the
tournament as the sixth seed, upset third-
seeded Baylor in the frst round. Later that
day, the Kansas followed its victory against
Baylor by shutting out Missouri and Nebras-
ka, setting up a championship game against
Oklahoma.
In the championship game, the Jayhawks
showed they were ready to win early. In the
frst inning, freshman center felder Stevie
Crisosto singled and advanced to third on
the senior Settlemiers double. With two
outs, senior second baseman Jessica Mop-
pin drove in both runners, giving the Jay-
hawks an early lead.
But Oklahoma answered back in the bot-
tom of the frst, scoring two runs off pitcher
Settlemier. After Settlemier allowed a leadoff
hit in the second, junior Kassie Humphreys
trotted out to the hill, and the game might
as well have been over. The All-Big 12 First
Teamer, who had just pitched two complete
games, allowed only two hits and recorded
seven strikeouts in six innings.
I was a little sore, but the adrenaline just
takes you over, Humphreys said after her
peformance. The defense was doing well
behind me, and I knew it would come down
to us scoring runs.
Humphreys was right. As she continued
to pitch a gem, the Jayhawk offense fnally
broke through in the sixth inning. With run-
ners on frst and second, Moppin laced a
pitch deep off the left feld wall, scoring one
runner. Senior right felder Heather Stan-
ley drove in another on a sacrifce fy, giv-
ing Kansas a 4-2 lead that sealed the Big 12
Championship.
We swung the bats well. It just was a
solid overall team effort, Bunge said after
the game. It was an absolutely fun day. Im
so proud of this team and so proud of my
seniors in particular.
With the Big 12 Championship won, Kan-
sas earned an automatic berth into the NCAA
Tournament, where they met BYU in the frst
round on May 18 in the Provo, Utah, region-
al. The third-seeded Jayhawks upset the sec-
ond-seeded Cougars on the heels of another
standout performance by Humphreys to earn
their eighth straight victory.
Unfortunately for Kansas, it was unable to
beat top seeded Washington. The Jayhawks
lost to the Huskies on consecutive days and
were eliminated from the NCAA Tourna-
ment.
Even though the end was bittersweet,
Kansas (36-26, 8-10 Big 12) had plenty of
accomplishments. Kansas upset No. 2
Texas during the regular season, won its
frst Big 12 Tournament championship and
advanced to its second straight NCAA Re-
gional.
Leading the way for the Jayhawks this year
were Settlemier and Humphreys. Settlemier,
who was named Big 12 Player of the Year and
an NFCA Second Team All-American, led the
team in batting average at .281, home runs
and RBIs. Her school record 22 home runs
and her 61 RBIs also led the conference. On
the mound, she was third in the conference
in ERA and picked up 17 victories. Perhaps
the most extraordinary stat of Settlemiers
was her performance with the bases loaded.
She was 7-for-8 with the bags full and had six
grand slams.
Humphreys had a breakout year on the
mound, fnishing second in the Big 12 with
a 1.19 ERA. She earned Big 12 Pitcher of the
Week honors twice and was named National
Player of the Week because of her perfor-
mance in the Big 12 Tournament.
For a couple of weeks in the middle of
the season, she was pitching as good as
anyone in the country, Bunge said of Hum-
phreys. Then she was a little inconsistent
for a while before picking it up again here at
the end of the season.
In the Big 12 Tournament, Humphreys
carried the team on her shoulders, pitch-
ing 22 innings without allowing a single
run and striking out 25 batters. She also
pitched a shutout against BYU in the NCAA
Regional and had 19 victories during the
season.
Bittersweet ending for Hawks
Team, players achieve many accomplishments throughout season

Six must be the new lucky num-
ber for Kansas Athletics.
Two weeks after the sixth seed-
ed Kansas softball team won its
frst ever Big 12 Tournament title,
sixes were wild again in Oklaho-
ma City for the baseball tourna-
ment.
The sixth seeded Kansas base-
ball team swept through the Big
12 Tournament, defeating na-
tionally ranked No. 14 Nebraska
(8-2). Kansas also defeated two
other ranked teams, Oklahoma
and Oklahoma State, on its way
to its first postseason tourna-
ment title.
With the victory, Kansas earned
an automatic bid to the NCAA
Tournament, placed in the Corval-
lis, Ore., region with Oregon State,
Hawaii and Wright State. It was the
programs frst appearance since
1994.
Kansas scored frst in the top of
the second inning against Nebras-
ka. Designated hitter Brock Simp-
son was walked with two outs in
the inning.
First baseman Preston Land
was also walked, moving Simp-
son to second base. Catcher Buck
Afenirs single scored Simpson,
giving Kansas the 1-0 lead and
moved Land to second. Center
felder Matt Baty struck out to end
the inning.
The Jayhawks struck again,
scoring four runs in the next in-
ning. Third baseman Erik Morrison
scored two runs on a single up the
middle of the infeld. Shortstop
Ritchie Price and Morrison scored
Kansas two other runs in the in-
ning.
Left felder John Allman and
Simpson each scored a run for
Kansas in the ffth inning. Second
baseman Jared Schweitzer hom-
ered to left feld in the sixth to give
Kansas an 8-2 lead.
The Jayhawks extended that
lead to 9-2 on an error by Husker
center felder Bryce Nimmo. Ne-
braska kept its hopes alive in the
bottom of the 8th with a two-run
home run by shortstop Ryan Weh-
rle, making it a 9-4 game. Jayhawk
starter Kodiak Quick entered the
game in relief following the home
run. Nebraska right felder An-
drew Brown scored on a single
from catcher Jeff Christy, setting
the score at 9-5 entering the ninth
inning.
Nebraska scored one more on
a single up the middle of the in-
feld followed by another single
to left feld. Designated hitter
Andy Gerch kept the rally alive
with a single to left, making the
score 9-7.
First team All-Big 12 closer
Don Czyz entered the game with
no warm-up session to close the
game out. Czyz fell behind with a
2-0 count, but on his third pitch
to Jake Opitz, forced Opitz into a
ground out.
Starting pitcher Nick Czyz went
fve and one-third innings giv-
ing up two runs off three hits and
struck out four batters. His older
brother Don earned his 18th save
of the season.
Don has been incredible for
us all year, said second baseman
Jared Schweitzer
Starting pitcher Nick Czyz went
fve and one-third innings giv-
ing up two runs off three hits and

Kansas went on to beat Hawaii
in its opening round game Fri-
day, but lost to Oregon State the
next day.
Despite opening a five-run
lead in the elimination game
Sunday against Hawaii, the
Jayhawks couldnt hold on and
their season ended with a 42-25
record.
Still, the teams unlikely run
through the Big 12 Tournament was
enough to make the season a suc-
cess by most standards.

After much deliberation, a 14-year-old
boy was taken off mechanical respira-
tors, May 19, at the University of Kansas
Hospital after a second declaration of
him being brain dead.
Michael J. Todd, Kansas City, Mo.,
native, was declared brain dead by a
physician independent of the University
of Kansas Hospital on May 19. Shortly
after, the temporary restraining order
requested by his mother, Cecelia B.
Cole, was lifted and the machines were
stopped.
Todd was brought to the hospital May
9 when he was shot in the neck, and
declared brain dead May 10. Cole, how-
ever, wanted a second opinion before he
was removed from the machinery and
requested a temporary restraining order
prohibiting anyone from removing the
boy from the respirators until another
physician examined him.
Dennis McCulloch, director of public
and government relations for the Uni-
versity of Kansas Hospital, said that in
situations like this, the hospital tries to
work as closely as possible with fami-
lies so they get a sense of closure. The
hospital has the legal right to remove
anyone declared brain dead from ma-
chinery, McCulloch said, but it is not the
hospitals policy.
McCulloch said the hospital was happy
to accommodate Coles request for an in-
dependent physician, but said that it took
a while to find a qualified person. The
doctor had to meet both the needs of the
family as well as have certain credentials
in accordance with hospital policies.
A declaration of brain death is a dec-
laration of death, McCulloch said, be-
cause there is no chance of recovery.
McCulloch was unable to discuss cer-
tain elements of Todds treatment be-
cause of medical privacy laws.
Minister Octavia Southall, CEO/execu-
tive director of the community outreach
program GateKeepers of Kansas City,
Mo., spoke on behalf of the family.
Im happy it is where it is, Southall
said. Im glad the mom got the resolu-
tion she needed.
After trying to reach the family,
Southall said that they were unwilling
to comment.
It was a difficult time for everyone
concerned, McCulloch said.
Todds death certificate listed May
10, the date of the original declaration
of brain death, as his official date of
death.

If a tree falls on campus during a micro-
burst and no one is around to hear it, will it
still make a sound?
In the case of the severe wind and rain-
storm that took place March 12, this normally
slippery philosophical question yields an easy,
practical answer: Yes. And when between 50
and 75 trees fell that day. Bob Abbott, KU land-
scape maintenance supervisor, and his crew
hurried on campus to clean up the mess.
Abbott, like most of the KU community,
saw a thrashed version of campus.
The destruction included more than just
the trees fallen on the day of the storm.
About 50 more had to be cut down in the fol-
lowing weeks and months including some
within the past few weeks.
Among those trees, the microburst forced
maintenance crews to take down a 110-feet
tall state champion pin oak tree just south-
west of Memorial Stadium because it was
split nearly six feet along its trunk.
So who decides which damaged trees
stay and which must be cut down?
For the most part, nature made the deci-
sion about whether or not a tree was com-
pletely downed. If trees blocked or cluttered
sidewalks, roads or other areas, the mem-
bers cleared them for safety and passage.
The first day we came out, it was
simply a matter of getting the hazards
out of the street and off the sidewalk so
that people could make their way through
campus, Abbott said.
When a tree was not completely de-
stroyed, the decision to cut it down or not
belonged to Abbott and other supervisors
.They surveyed possible looming danger
of over-hanging or weak limbs, large splits
in trunks and utility hazards.
If the top of the tree was blown out, then
the whole thing had to go, Abbott said about
the decision-making process, but we exam-
ine every tree with the hopes of saving it.
Even with those high hopes, high-speed
winds and the consequent preemptive tree
leveling added up to the destruction of
more than 120 of the campus trees.
On an almost 18,000 tree strong campus,
the number reads small, but landscape
maintenance team members and local tree
conservationists agree the storm itself and
its impact on campus trees are notable. Ab-
bott and a co-worker recall their work dur-
ing the past years and concur that between
the tree and roof damage, they had not
witnessed such a destructive storm in all
their time at the University of Kansas.
Richard Morantz, Lawrence Tree Conser-
vancy Chair, is concerned about the natural
and man-made destruction and would like
to see a more careful trimming program in
the city and on campus.
With the destructive power of Mother
Nature, it is important for humans not to
destroy, but to protect our trees, he said.
The loss of the champion pin oak and
many others are neither easily replaced nor
comparably supplanted by young saplings.
Abbott said that not nearly as many trees
were replaced as he would have liked,
mainly because of nances and the high
maintenance the tree demands in the rst
year.
It takes more than one hundred years to
grow an oak and it takes us only two hours
to clear it, Abbott said. Its a sad thing.

Lawrence residents looking to buy alco-
hol might have to start looking in other di-
rections if a Kansas state Alcohol Beverage
Control ruling holds up regarding Cork &
Barrel on 9th and Mississippi streets.
Douglas County District Court Judge Ste-
phen Six ruled last week that the Kansas
ABC could revoke Cork & Barrel owner Dan
Blomgrens liquor license because he had an
ownership stake in another Lawrence store; an
arrangement deemed illegal by the division.
According to the statute, Kansas liquor store
owners are not allowed to own more than one
liquor store in the state. Married couples are
allowed to own two stores as long as there is
one store in each spouses name, respectively.
The ABC also attempted to revoke the license
of Jill Blomgren Dans wife, and owner of the
Cork & Barrel on 23rd and Iowa streets on the
grounds that she was giving herself an advan-
tage over other liquor stores by selling products
that werent alcoholic, among other things.
Sarah Byrne, Assistant Attorney General,
said that Six was to decide whether or not
the agency overstepped its bounds or made
the decision in an arbitrary and capricious
manner. Six ruled in favor of Mrs. Blomgren.
Byrne expressed the ABCs disapproval
of the decision.
We were disappointed that he reversed
the revocation of Jills store, she said.
Byrne said that Six put himself in the posi-
tion of trier effect, meaning he was assess-
ing the evidence instead of the decision.
Both Mr. Blomgren and the state are in the
process of deciding whether or not to appeal
the decisions on their respective cases.
Residents living in the area expressed
discontent at the idea of the store closing.
Its a good location for college students,
said Katy Toplikar, Lawrence resident. The
location is good for tailgating at football
games because of its proximity to Memo-
rial Stadium, she said.
KU graduate Rob Scott lived at 937 Ala-
bama St. for two years. He said that the
decision is unfortunate because the store is
reasonably priced.

Many local business owners
will admit that profts tend to de-
crease as KU students leave town
for the summer months. While
businesses have become adept
at fghting this obstacle, the city
of Lawrence has left them to face
a new dilemma; construction.
Construction crews began
replacing water lines between
seventh and ninth streets on the
eastern side of Massachusetts
Street May 22. According to Chris
Stewart, acting director for the
Utilities Department, this is the
12th working day out of 35 in
which construction on the eastern
side will continue. This will leave
the western half of the street open
to south-bound traffc. When the
work is completed, construction
will begin on the western half of
the street for approximately 35
days, leaving north-bound side
available for traffc.
The construction is one compo-
nent to a larger project designed
to replace all of the water lines on
Massachusetts Street between 6th
and 11th streets. Initiated by the
Utilities Department in 2004, the
plan was presented to the city com-
mission and approved. It is sched-
uled to be completed by next year.
Stewart, said that the depart-
ment was working closely with
businesses downtown in order to
accommodate them in the best
manner possible. He noted there
would be some problems.
It is an inconvenience for ev-
erybody, and weve tried to do
everything we can, he said.
The construction was neces-
sary because the 100-year-old
water lines have ruptured in the
past, negatively affecting sur-
rounding businesses.
Jordan Shelton, owner of Ver-
mont Street BBQ, said that it is too
early to tell whether or not the con-
struction will have a negative im-
pact on his restaurant. His regular
clientele hasnt stopped coming in.
Were not as student-depen-
dent as a lot of places are, he said.
Jon Amyx, owner of Down-
town Barber, said at frst he
was worried about his business
slowing down, but so far the
summer has been typical. He
is concerned, however, about
the speed of the operation.
I think they could have worked
a little faster, Amyx said.
Local business owners af-
fected by the construction have
voiced their opinions to Rick
Marquez, director of Downtown
Lawrence, Inc. The company is
a not-for-proft membership or-
ganization designed to protect
the interests of local businesses.
Marquez sought them out to form
a consensus on the operation.
He said that opinions have
been mixed, but that most own-
ers do not feel as though they
are suffering unusual decreases
in profts. Downtown Lawrence,
Inc., is going to start advertising
the necessity of the project, as
well as the fact that businesses
downtown are still open, he said.
One area the city is risking the
potential for proft loss is in park-
ing revenue. While construction is
being performed, only half of the
parking spaces between seventh
and ninth streets will be available.
Last summer, while a similar
project was performed on the
600 block of Massachusetts, the
city generated almost $130,000
in parking revenue close to
a third of the $382,000 parking

Cork &
Barrel may
lose liquor
license
Construction work continues on Massachusetts Street between
Seventh and Ninth Streets to repair an aging waterline. Work began in
late-May and is expected to be completed by mid-September.
David Barrett and Ginger Ellenbecker, Law-
rence senior, walk into Cork & Barrel Thurs-
day night. The liquor store, at 901 Mississppi
St., could close because the owner allegedly
has a stake in another liquor store and is only
allowed to own one in the state of Kansas.

With summer fnally here, some stu-
dents are having trouble fnding a summer
job. Its a diffcult task for various reasons,
but most of all searching for that perfect job
takes up time and patience.
Jobs in Lawrence fill up fast because
of the vast amount of college students
who arrive each year. The summer
months seem to open up more employ-
ment opportunities after students leave,
but some businesses dont hire for sum-
mer because the Lawrence population
decreases.
As kids leave, traffc slows down, there-
fore the need for employees goes down
also, said Matt Furse general manager of
Britches, 843 Massachusetts St.
Luckily for those students still looking for
a job, some businesses that have already
done summer hiring want to hire one to two
more people, while others havent even be-
gun theirs.
Backyard Burgers, 2351 W. 31st. St., is
one of the businesses that recently started
hiring its summer staff.
Martin Hash, co-owner, said he will hire
approximately two people this summer. Out
of his 25 employees, Hash said he has about
10 who are college students. When inter-
viewing people for positions, Hash said he
looks for people who will look him in the eye
and speak clearly.
Even if Hash isnt hiring, he is always
looking for new employees.
You always want that golden child to
walk in, so we always accept applications,
Hash said.
Libby Strong, Barrington, Ill., junior has
had trouble fnding a summer job in Law-
rence. She applied at various places on the
KU Web site, such as the Burge Union book-
store and the computer tech shop in the
Kansas Union. Strong said she would like to
waitress, but didnt apply at any restaurants
because of rumors that no jobs were avail-
able.
I heard everywhere was full, so I didnt
waste my time, Strong said.
Other students have run into similar
problems.
I need a job. If Im going to live here, I
need to work, said Carter House, Overland
Park junior. House applied at Capital Federal
Bank and Commerce Bank a week ago, but
hasnt heard back yet.
House said he waited to start looking for
a job until after classes let out and after he
visited a friends family in Illinois; time just
wouldnt allow it.
Backyard Burgers isnt the only busi-
ness that continuously reviews applications
throughout the year.
Applebees Neighborhood Grill & Bar,
3900 W. 6th St., has hired its summer staff,
but is still accepting applications.
I would tell anybody interested in a job
to come on out, said Geoff Moncher, Apple-
bees manager.
Kashan Javad, assistant manager at Ab-
ercrombie and Fitch, 647 Massachusetts St.,
said they always accept applications and are
looking for new employees to fll positions
left by students who left Lawrence for the
summer.
We are more aiming towards summer
since a lot of college kids are going home,
Javed said about hiring for the summer
rather than the fall.
Some students dont have the hassle of
trying to fnd a summer job because they al-
ready have one.
Tom Whitehead, Leawood junior, has
worked for his father during the summer for
the past six years. His dad, Tom Whitehead
Sr., is the owner and president of Phoenix
Building Group, which is based out of Still-
well. The company covers general contract-
ing projects all over the Kansas City, Kan.,
area.
Whitehead decided to live at home for
the summer to save money and not have to
work during the school year.
I use what money I need to get by, for
gas and my lunches, but other than that
Im just saving up for the school year, Tom
Whitehead said.
Despite living in Kansas City. Kan., with
all his friends in Lawrence, Whitehead said
he will be in town at least every other week-
end.

Live on stage number one, put your
hands together for the Flaming Lips, and
on stage number two, give it up for the
Dirty Dozen Brass Band. On stage num-
ber three, hailing from Macon, Ga., lets
hear it for Govt Mule. Finally, rocking
and rolling on stage number four, put
your hands together for Robert Randolph
& the Family Band.
This is just a small sample of what will
be taking place this weekend just outside
of Lawrence as thousands of visitors and
musicians involved with the Wakarusa
music and camping festival will over-run
Clinton Lake State Park.
The third annual festival is a four-day
music festival that will start on Thurs-
day and continue through Sunday. The
event will have more than 150 bands
performing on seven stages and is ex-
pecting more than 15,000 people to soak
up the sun, music and atmosphere.
The festival has sold tickets to
someone in every state in the country
and to people in five countries, Brett
Mosiman, co-director of the festival,
said.
Eighteen of the bands performing won
battle of the bands competitions held
throughout the Midwest and earned a
spot in the festival. One of those bands
was Springfeld, Mo., reggae band Jah
Roots. They will perform at the festival
and lead vocalist Ras Josh said the band
has eagerly awaited the festival for some
time.
Josh said the band had never per-
formed in an event as large as the fes-
tival, but that they were looking forward
to the entire experience associated with
it.
The festival has scheduled several
outdoor activities. Visitors can play golf,
take a hike, hang out on the beach, wind
surf or take up mountain biking. Yoga
classes will even be offered in the morn-
ings.
The campground has a 24-hour gen-
eral store provided by Hy-Vee and more
than 40 vendors on location.
The campground has everything you
need for food and comfort, you dont
have to leave the campsite for anything,
Mosiman said.
Mosiman said the organizers of the
Wakarusa music festival want the fes-
tival to be accessible to a wide array of
people.
This is a grassroots music festival put
on for music fans by music fans, Mosi-
man said. Thats why its less than a dol-
lar a concert. You might pay $9 for a beer
at Sandstone, but youll pay less than
half for that out here.
Four-day passes and single-day
passes are still available online at
www.wakarusa.com, the Bottleneck,
737 New Hampshire and at CD Trade-
post at 2540 S. Iowa and 4000 W. Sixth
St. The four day passes are $139 and
single day passes are $49 for Friday
and Sunday and $59 for Saturday.
Single day passes arent offered for
Thursday.

horoscope. wednesday, june 7.
ARIES
(March 21-April 19)
HHHH Ask others for feed-
back. You might want to think
before you take an important
action that involves others.
Seek out information. You eas-
ily could lose your temper with
loved ones and a child.
Tonight: Get some physical
exercise.
TAURUS
(April 20-May 20)
HHHH You get a lot done
quickly. Your ability to be ef-
fcient and get past a hassle
allows you to clear out a
misunderstanding. Still, you
might be much feistier than
you recognize. Others seem to
want to call the shots.
Tonight: Say yes.
GEMINI
(May 21-June 20)
HHHH Allow greater cre-
ativity to emerge in your life.
You see that much happens
very quickly. Be easygoing
and open to positive changes.
You might want to funnel
your attention to one item at
a time.
Tonight: Dont lose your focus.
CANCER
(June 21-July 22)
HHHH You come from a
solid point of view. Consider how
important your personal and do-
mestic life is before agreeing to a
risk. You might not be happy with
the end results. You might be
able to bypass an expenditure.
Tonight: Lively -- arent we?
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
HHH You might want to
rethink a decision that involves
family. You could suddenly fnd
anger rising to the surface. Use
your feelings to make good de-
cisions and head in the correct
direction. You could be seeing
life through others eyes.
Tonight: Anchor in on your
priorities.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
HHH You might want to think
through a decision before you
get caught up in anothers
issues. You will fnd that some-
one might be hurtful. You also
could be overly sensitive or
touchy. Dont shut down. Keep
communication fowing.
Tonight: Test out your ideas on
someone who cares.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22 )
HHHH Use the early part of
the day positively. You have
the Force with you. A collision
with someone about spend-
ing or a fnancial problem
emerges. Your knee-jerk reac-
tion could start a problem. Say
no calmly.
Tonight: Fun doesnt have to
cost.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
HHH Dont shut down if you
have a problem. Be willing to
head in a different direction or
accept a novel approach to a
problem. As the day becomes
older, you become vibrant,
with much kick. Watch where
you kick!
Tonight: Easy does it.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
HHH You might have mixed
feelings and a different point
of view. If you work within
your immediate circle, youll
get results. Dont try to negate
anothers information, even if
you dont like what you hear.
Tonight: Get extra sleep.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
HHHH Others take to heart
your sense of direction. Dont
expect everyone to agree with
you, because it is an impossi-
bility. A partner lets you know
the lay of the land, at least
according to him.
Tonight: Togetherness works.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
HHHH You might be
surprised by what happens
if you kick back and detach.
Your point of view changes
radically. A partner might be
a touch upset by your change
of tune. What you hear might
startle you.
Tonight: Others look to you for
ideas.
PISCES
(Feb. 19-March 20)
HHHH A partner makes
demands that you need to
think about, even if you prefer
not to. Investigate alterna-
tives, especially if you hit a big
snafu in your daily life. Take an
overview, especially if you are
in a stressful situation.
Tonight: Take in a movie.

Youve seen the commercials.
Shoeless children in war-torn coun-
tries playing in a barren feld. Fans
packing a pub, eyes fxed on a tele-
vision with the teams colors em-
blazoned on their faces. U2 songs
playing in the background.
This isnt March Madness or the
Super Bowl thats got the world in
a frenzy.
Its the World Cup.
Soccer as its known here in
the states, or futbol to the rest of
the world, is ready to take center
stage for a month when the worlds
greatest sporting event begins on
Friday.
Now, I have to be honest, Im
not a big soccer fan.
Ive never really followed the
sport and never understood what
could possess a person to run
around kicking a ball for 90
plus minutes. The games are low-
scoring and a player cant use his
hands. That was all I needed to
make a judgment.
But if you look closely at soccer,
thats the beauty of the sport. Its
not supposed to be high scoring, it
takes a real athlete to run around
kicking a ball for 90 plus minutes
and the things that some of those
guys do with the soccer ball is akin
to what Pistol Pete did with a bas-
ketball breathtaking.
People in this part of the coun-
try love their hoops and football,
and some, well, some even like
baseball. Soccer is great for kids
and moms, but at the major league
level, its still got a way to go before
it can even sniff what the big boys
NFL, NBA and MLB are doing.
But thats here in the states. The
rest of the world stops when soc-
cer is playing. Its very much like
March Madness is here, except, its
the WORLD that calls in sick, not
just us.
So, needing some clarity about
this World Cup thing aside from
what Ive been hearing on the tube
and reading in magazines, I spoke
with someone who has actually
coached in a World Cup, Kansas
City Wizards coach Bob Gansler.
Despite getting on me early in
our conversation as to why KU has
no mens soccer team that wasnt
my decision, I said Gansler spoke
candidly about soccers increasing
popularity in the states and why we
should all watch the World Cup.
Its the ultimate competition.
Its the worlds game. Youve got the
stage and the participants, Gansler
said. It takes one city to host the
Olympics, it takes a country to host
the World Cup.
This years World Cup is hosted
by Germany.
Gansler, whos been in this
country nearly all his life by way of
Hungary though he was raised in
a German village and speaks Ger-
man said that given the relatively
short time that soccer has been
played in this country, the sport
has evolved immensely.
This sport used to be called a
foreigners game. Its not a foreign-
ers game anymore, Gansler said.
He points out the recent success
and improvement of the United
States national team who he
coached to the 1990 World Cup in
Italy, the frst World Cup appearance
by an American squad in 40 years.
2002 made people notice,
Gansler said, referring to the surprise
quarterfnal run the U.S. team made.
Was it out of the ground? No. It
just showed that the game is here
to stay, he said. Concerning this
years team, which has a top-fve
world ranking, Gansler is suspect.
Rankings are a subjective
thing... Its a fact, were in the top 20
or dozen, and thats a very special
thing, Gansler said.
And the U.S.s World Cup chances?
The guys could play better this
year than they did in 02 and still
not make it out of the frst round,
he said.
About his own World Cup ex-
perience 16 years ago, Gansler
summed it up nicely
Its goose bumps running up
and down your spine.
So there you have it boys and
girls, the ultimate competition,
a spectacle featuring the Worlds
greatest athletes, guys with names
like Ronaldinho, Ronaldo and Ger-
aldo okay, so hes not playing
and an entire planet that goes
bonkers for thirty days about a
sporting event.
Its World Cup time baby. Bono
will be watching, will you?

David Law-
rence will
succeed Max
Falkenstien as
the commenta-
tor for football
on the Jayhawk
Radio Network
starting next
season. Falken-
stien retired after
broadcasting Kansas football and
basketball games for the past 60
years.
It might seem like a tough task to
fnd a successor for a man that has
broadcast more than 2,000 games,
including some of the greatest mo-
ments in KU sports history. Associ-
ate Athletics Director Jim Marchio-
ny said that wasnt the case.
It was an easy decision, Mar-
chiony said. There werent a lot of
negotiations and lengthy discus-
sions between ESPN Plus and KU
Athletics about who would suc-
ceed Max.
Lawrence said he knew that the
promotion would be a possibil-
ity after Max retired. I had been
around and on the sidelines, he
said. I knew it could happened,
but I didnt take anything for grant-
ed. When I found out I, I was very
excited. Its something Ive wanted
to do for a long time.
Falkenstien said he was happy
with the decision to hire Lawrence
as the person to carry on the job
that he started.
Hell do great, he said.
Lawrence, a KU graduate and
former offensive lineman and tight
end for the Jayhawks, moves from
the sidelines, where he has spent
the past 12 years as the sideline
reporter, to the broadcast booth to
team up with Bob Davis. Davis has
handled the play-by-play duties
for football and basketball for the
past 22 years. This is Lawrences
second stint in the booth. He was
the analyst in 1982, the year after
his graduation. At the time, he was
torn between wanting a career in
broadcasting and coaching. Mov-
ing to the booth at that time was
a natural ft. Lawrence was already
traveling with the team as a gradu-
ate assistant for former coach Don
Fambrough.
The end of that season proved
to be a turning point for Lawrence.
The Jayhawks fnished 2-7-2 and
Fambrough was fred. Lawrence
had wanted to coach with Fam-
brough and left the University of
Kansas after that season.
I was really disheartened with
the University after Coach Fam-
broughs fring, Lawrence said.
So I left to coach high school.
Lawrence returned to the Uni-
versity for a year as an assistant
to then Coach Mike Gottfried in
1984. The next year Lawrence
started his teaching career at
South Junior High in Lawrence.
He also got his frst head coach-
ing job that year, a post he would
hold at South Junior High for the
next 17 years.
In 1988, Lawrence returned to
broadcasting as the analyst for KU
football on Sunfower Broadband
channel 6. He joined the Jayhawk
Radio Network in 1994, forcing him
to leave his duties with the channel
6 broadcast.
Lawrence hosted a weekly sports
talk show on KLWN for 10 years
that he gave up in 2000. He stopped
coaching at South Junior High in
2003 to focus entirely on his duties
with the Jayhawk Radio Network.
Nate Bukaty, a 1998 gradu-
ate of the School of Journalism
at KU, will replace Lawrence as
the sideline reporter for football
broadcasts. Bukaty, the womens
basketball play-by-play announcer
for the past fve seasons, will also
host the pre-game Crimson and
Blue Line show and the Jay-
hawk Locker Room show, duties
formerly held by Lawrence.
Bukaty has worked in radio and
television in the metro area for the
past seven years and his current
duties include the pre and post-
game coverage for Kansas City
Royals Radio Network.
The commentator for basketball
has not been named yet, but an
announcement could come in the
next month, according to Falken-
stien.
