Repairs to the front of the Chi
Omega house following a May accident
may not be finished before the sorority
begins its fall formal recruitment.
In May, a man crashed his pick-up
truck into the front of the house, locat-
ed at 1345 West Campus Rd. No inju-
ries from the accident were reported.
Chelsie Harper, Chi Omega
President and Hugoton senior, said the
house is livable and sorority members
will be able to move into the house in
August for recruitment.
The front of the house may not be
finished by the time prospective mem-
bers come through fall formal recruit-
ment in August, Harper said. She said
she hoped that visitors to Chi Omega
empathize with their situation.
You know as far as our house being
intact fully, I think it is something that
the girls will understand, Harper said.
The construction on the damaged
area of the house took some time to
begin, Harper said. She said the repairs
to the houses exterior proved difficult
because the building is a historical
landmark.
Because of this, the construc-
tion crews must comply with sev-
eral requirements from the National
Register of Historic Places. All con-
struction materials must be of the
same type as those of the pre-existing
structure.
Once the materials such as lime-
stone are delivered, the construction
could begin. No completion date has
been released.
A piano and other furniture in the
house were also damaged by the truck.
Harper said the furniture needs to be
recovered and the piano needs to be
sanded.

Construction began to repair the Chi Omega house after a truck being chased by police crashed into
the house in the early morning hours of May 6. The truck, a Dodge Dakota, being driven by a 23-year-
old male, was traveling at speeds up to 80 mph and narrowly missed a group of students relaxing in
the Chi Omega fountain.

For young pianists, theres no bet-
ter place to spend the month of July
than the University of Kansas.
Almost 100 pianists from the
United States, Canada and China,
ranging in ages from 11 to 19,
are participating in this years
International Institute for Young
Musicians program.
The institutes summer program
is in its fourth year at the University.
Piano professor Jack Winerock said
the Universitys well-respected
piano division and its location in
the middle of the country made it an
ideal host for the program.
For the pre-college student,
this is probably the most important
program in the country, Winerock
said. It basically puts us on the map
in the world of piano.
The program consists of a piano
competition, which took place July
1 and 2, a class taught by faculty
from around the world and nightly
recitals. Students practice for about
three hours a day and study areas
such as music history and music
training.
Mike Repper, a 16-year-old high
school student from Laguna Niguel,
Calif., said the program is not all
business.
It combines a lot of learning
with a lot of fun, said Repper, who
is participating in the program for
the seventh consecutive year.
Winerock said the month-long
event was especially important to
the University and the future of
its piano program. With so much
young talent in one spot, the event
serves as an excellent recruiting
tool, he said.
Winerock estimated that there
were around 10 current students
majoring in piano who participated
in the program before enrolling at
the University.
Nick Susi, St. Louis junior, is one
such student. Susi, a student in the
2004 program and a counselor in
2005, said his college choice was
greatly influenced by his experience
in the program. Susi said the course
of study not only provided him with
a network of friends, but it also gave
him an opportunity to strengthen
his relationship with Winerock, who
he met in 2004.
If he didnt teach here, I wouldnt
be here, Susi said.
A Gala student recital will be held
tonight at 7:30 at the Lied Center.
Two more Gala recitals will follow,
one on July 18 and one on the final
day of the program, July 25.

China joins list of 2008
study abroad locations
The University plans to start its
frst ongoing study abroad pro-
gram in China for Summer of 2008.
The program would allow
University students to study at
Central China Normal University
in the eastern town of Wuhan,
which is located about 300
miles inland from the port city
of Shanghai.
The program would run ev-
ery summer for fve to six weeks.
William Tsutsui, director of
the Confucius Institute, said that
a good deal of the programs
expenses will be covered by
scholarship funds, making
it relatively inexpensive for
students.
Tsutsui said that having an ongo-
ing study abroad program in China
available to University students was
vital because of the importance of
China in todays world.
Theres so much interest in
China now that its important
to promote the language and
culture, especially in an area
like Kansas City where its hard
to fnd good information about
the country, he said.
Tsutsui said more informa-
tion about the program would
become available to interested
students in the fall semester.

Park and Ride has opened its
lots to all KU parking permits offi-
cially beginning in August.
Parking Department officials
said accepting any permit will
encourage students to utilize the
lot and help decrease congestion
on main campus.
Campus parking is becoming
increasingly difficult for students,
especially with construction on lots
91 and 94 near Memorial Stadium,
said Danny Kaiser, assistant direc-
tor for the parking department.
He said opening the Park and
Ride lots is a viable alternative for
students and faculty having trouble
finding open parking spaces.
You dont have to hunt for a
place to park, Kaiser said. You
can park immediately and hop on a
bus to go to campus.
Kaiser said Park-and-Ride lots
hold 1,400 spaces. The parking
department has sold only 900 Park-
and-Ride permits this year.
Park and Ride permits are still
available for purchase. They cost
$205 and include a KU on Wheels
bus pass. Kaiser said when the Park
and Ride permits begin to sell out,
the lots will return to only accept-
ing Park and Ride permits.
Students and faculty must have
a KU parking permit to park in the
Park and Ride lots or they can park
in the meters, Kaiser said. He said
violators will be ticketed.

Chief Justice of the United
States John Roberts will visit the
University in April 2008 to give a
public lecture.
The University announced late
last week that Roberts will be the
speaker at the Vickers Memorial
Lecture in the Lied Center, April
30.
Emily Williams, Overland Park
senior, who
is currently
interning for
the National
De mo c r a t i c
Party i n
Wa s hi ng t on,
D. C. , this
summer said
that Kansas is
quickly becoming a political bat-
tleground and it is great to see the
University bringing in speakers of
a higher quality and profile.
Williams said she is looking for-
ward to hearing Robertss speech
because he is likely to speak on
something that will affect every-
one.
Political bipartisanship aside,
he is making a contribution to our
nation, and we as students of KU
should give him a warm reception
and honor our university, Williams
said.
Williams said the University has
many student leaders not only in
the democratic and republican par-
ties but in Student Senate as well.
Williams said she thought these
people will benefit from hearing
Chief Roberts speak.
The lecture series is named after
a KU alumnus, J.A. Vickers. Toni
Dixon, director of communications
for the business school, said the
unique part about this years lecture
is that it is in cooperation with the
School of Law.
Traditionally the School of
Business would engage a speaker
for the Vickers Memorial Lecture,
which started in 1969. Dixon said
that Stephen McAllister, professor
of law, once worked as a clerk for
the Supreme Court and used his
connections to help plan the visit.
Dixon said Roberts had to
be scheduled a year in advance,
and that the focus was on getting
Roberts for the 2008 lecture.
Dixon said the goal of the lec-
ture is to bring important public
officials to the University to discuss
topics of interest.
The topic Roberts will address
has not yet been set, but Dixon
said she expected the lecture to
appeal to a number of people since
the decisions Roberts makes affect
them as citizens.
It is a rare opportunity to hear
from someone placed that highly in
the judicial system. Dixon said.
Dixon said the business school
hopes for a variety of people to
attend the lecture and said she
expected people in the Kansas City
community would want to attend
as well.
The lecture will be held in the
Lied Center, which seats 2,000.
Though the event is free, a ticket
will be required for admittance.
A certain amount of tickets will
be held for both business and law
students, but they will become
available to the public in 2008
but the exact date has not been
announced.

When you made the clues for

This is an open letter to the KU
Alumni Association:
I graduated from KU in 1993 and
have been a proud Jayhawk ever since
then. Ive promoted the joys of KU
every where Ive been Chicago, San
Francisco, Amsterdam, Washington
D.C., Oklahoma City, and Los
Angeles, where I currently live.
Ever since I graduated, I have
received mailings from you, entreat-
ing me to join (and donate to) the
KU Alumni Association. Had I the
means, I would have done so.
Unfortunately, I havent, and I
still cant. And yet the mailings still
come. No matter where I live, you
track me down. I have moved fre-
quently over the years, and I have
never, once, provided you with a new
mailing address. And despite that, I
have always received a new mailing
from you, asking me to join the KU
Alumni Association.
Until now, I often wished I could
become a member of the Alumni
Association, and I was flattered to
discover that you had tracked me
down, and had I the money, I would
have contributed. This goodwill
ended today.
Last week I received a mailing
from you stating the following:
Now we can save you $327.96 or
more a year on auto insurance.
As a graduate of KU, I find
this despicable. The KU Alumni
Association is an association that
should be setting standards for
excellence. It is an association that
should be sponsoring proud activities
that people like me can gather their
friends together around. Its an orga-
nization that sets the tone for all past
and future students.
Everything you say, and every-
thing you do, affects all of the stu-
dents of KU, past, present, and future.
My time at KU was priceless. Dont
cheapen it by selling car insurance.

Ive finally figured out why estab-
lishing and maintaining romantic rela-
tionships fail. It is because of hones-
tythat best policy people continue
to zealously ignore!
Yes, it is true; the perfect relation-
ship is one that relies completely on
distortion (1/2 truth) and lying (no
truth).
Distortion comes into play in estab-
lishing a relationship. Males rely on
distorting their image with excessive
displays of material wealth, wretched
insults, and preening. Females rely on
pungent perfumes, tight-fit clothing,
and makeup to distort their image.
Both do so to make each seem greater
than each is.
However, once in a relationship,
distortion takes the back seat to lying.
This is because distortion becomes
too hard to pull off. Knowledge of the
other partners habits, actual material
wealth, and appearance ruin its pri-
mary usefulness. Though its actually
easier to disprove a lie (since it is less
true) both partners expect the other
to tell the truth so dont immediately
recognize lies.
It is through questions that these lies
become apparent and eventually lead
relationships to destruction. Eventually
youll find out your partner lied about
something important to improve his
or her ego and it will create conflict.
Youll find your conscience clean, but
youll also find yourself aloneper-
haps slobbering over a ten-dollar bottle
of wine while listening to Manfred
Manns Blinded By the Light.
The reason people avoid telling the
truth in a relationship is because its
usefulness is far less than that of lying.
Lying will never be able to trump what
the imagination can manufacture,
because the imagination can produce
the perfect response to any question.
Also, truth is too often inconvenient
whereas lies or distortion are never
inconvenient.
Thus, the perfect relationship is one
where both sides are always lying or at
least deceiving one another through
some type of distortion. Both tactics
only ever fail because the lie or distor-
tion isnt creative enough to convince
the other person youre telling the truth,
or because an outside source intervenes
to tell the truth. Tattle tail
Likewise, the worst relationships
involve the most truth. To the com-
ment, Do you like my dress? you
wouldnt reply, I thought it was above
average, but not as good as Angelinas
at the Oscars. Or, you wouldnt reply
to, What did you think of my story?
with, I thought it was shallow and
immature. Remember to duck when
the swinging arm comes your way.
Again, truth is an evil thing in
romantic relationships. Realistically,
avoid it as much as possible! A healthy
relationship will find both sides contin-
ually bored and speaking in platitudes.
Also, remember to stock an arsenal of
romantic comedy clichs and euphe-
misms and youll be fine.

Two University graduates recently
realized that there was no place in
Lawrence for residents to practice
boxing, so they took matters into
their own hands.
Justin Montgomery and Walter
Ewert opened the first boxing
gym in town last month in North
Lawrence.
We did a lot of stuff. We put
in a lot of sweat equity on this,
Montgomery said. My business
partner and I are very good with our
hands, so we built and did most of
the work ourselves.
After talking to the owner
of a gym that was closing in
Leavenworth, Montgomery and
Ewert bought the gyms equip-
ment for a fraction of the retail
price.
Ewert said that after they
found a building to use for
practice they had previously
trained in Montgomerys base-
ment they started inviting
friends to train with them. But
interest grew beyond their circle
of friends, and the idea devel-
oped into a business.
They opened Walts Boxing Gym,
1845 E. 1450 Rd., without having to
ask for a business loan.
Today, the gym has about
20 paying costumers, and
Montgomery said he expected
more people to join after stu-
dents came back to town in the
fall. He also said that although he
does not know the specific date,
he wants to have a formal grand
opening to the gym to call more
attention to it.
Id like to grow in Lawrence to
support local fights in Lawrence,
Montgomery said. Some sort of a
community effort to maybe see if
boxing can have a comeback.
The gym offers classes aimed at
people who want to experience the
workout of a boxer without actually
having to fight.
We want to help people under-
stand they can work out as a boxer
without ever getting punched,
Montgomery said.
Basic conditioning takes place
from Monday to Thursday evenings
from 5:30 to 7 and from 7:30 to 9.
If a member wants to actually
box and participate in competitions,
Eric Riley, trainer at Haskell Indian
Nations Universitys boxing club,
trains boxers and finds them other
opponents at a beginners level to
fight against.
The gyms fees vary. Members
can sign a contract for six months
and pay $44 per month. People
can also buy a punch card that
includes a number of classes for
$5 per class. Walk-ins are $10 for
up to two one-and-a-half-hour
sessions.
Residents try to revive boxing passions

The Morris K. Udall Foundation
is celebrating its 10th anniversary
through a year-long celebration.
The culmination of the celebration
is a cross-country bus tour, which
stopped in Lawrence on July 9.
The Udall Foundation was estab-
lished by Congress in 1996 in honor
of Morris K. Udall for his service in
the U.S. House of Representatives.
The foundation awards scholarships,
fellowships and internships for stud-
ies related to the environment and
Native American issues.
Thirteen Udall alumni are trav-
eling on the tour, which began in
Washington, D.C. in June and ends
in Tuscon, Ariz., in August. They
are traveling in the first ever green
certified bus. Eli Zigas, communi-
cations manager for the Udall Legacy
Bus Tour said the tour is a way to
highlight the work of Udall alumni
and the initiatives of their commu-
nities. He said there are a number
of University Udall alumni, which
made Lawrence a destination on the
tour.
Studie Red Corn, Shawnee senior,
is a 2007 Udall scholar. He said
Lawrence and the University will
stand out in the tour because the
communities are on the verge of hav-
ing many exciting things happen in
terms of sustainability.
We have a cooking oil to bio-die-
sel plant that is just getting up and run-
ning, a Center for Sustainability that is
only a semester old and a renewable
energy and sustainability fund that
just got passed in the Student Senate
elections, Red Corn said.
In terms of Native American
issues, Red Corn said, Lawrence
has the Haskell-Baker wetlands and
Haskell University itself.
All of these efforts were highlight-
ed during the Lawrence visit. Jeff
Severin, director of the Center for
Sustainability, was scheduled to lead
the group on a green tour around
campus on Tuesday.
The Lawrence visit was the groups
16th stop on the tour, with visits to
15 more cities planned, including
Denver, San Francisco and Seattle.
Severin said considering the number
of communities on the tour, it is a
privilege Lawrence was chosen.
Its really an honor to be includ-
ed among the other cities the tour
bus is visiting and its an opportu-
nity to show what we are doing in
Lawrence, said Severin.
The Udall bus will head to
Colorado next.

Although music might not nec-
essarily make someone smarter,
there is a link between students in
good music programs and stan-
dardized test performance, accord-
ing to a report by a University of
Kansas professor.
Christopher Johnson, profes-
sor of music and associate dean
of the School of Fine Arts, com-
pleted a report, recently pub-
lished in the Journal of Research
in Music Education which said
that the quality of music programs
relates to participating students
test scores.
Although there have been other
studies that have looked at how
students involved in music pro-
grams have scored on their stan-
dardized tests, Johnson said his was
the first to study how the quality of
the music program related to test
scores.
Johnson studied 4,739 elementa-
ry and junior high school students
from across the country. He found
that the students who participated
in good music programs scored
higher on standardized tests than
students who participated in weak-
er programs or no programs at all.
The National Association for
Music Education determined the
quality of each program studied.
The report, which Johnson worked
on for about
two years,
gained atten-
tion even before
its publication.
In February,
Johnson was
invited to pres-
ent his findings
to members of
Congress.
Johnson said
the publication
of the report
comes at a crucial time, as people
are speculating that some music
programs around the country are
being cut.
As for Johnsons thoughts on
the possible explanations for his
research findings, he said that music
demands discipline and intensity,
skills that can transfer over to other
aspects of students lives.
There is a high level of contin-
gency on being focused and con-
centrating and doing it right, he
said. Theres also a need for mak-
ing it perfect.
Johnson compared music with
other subjects to illustrate his
point.
If youre in math, nobody
around you cares if you get the right
answer. If you dont get it right it
does not impact
their lives at
all. If youre in
band, it does
impact their
lives, he said.
Patrick Kelly,
fine arts special-
ist for Lawrence
Public Schools,
said that music
requires stu-
dents to go
b a c k - a n d -
forth between the creative and
logical sides of their brains.
We know that music educa-
tion makes a real difference in
students learning, Kelly said. Its
great to see some research done
on how much of a difference it
makes.

Two men stood on the green, their
medieval armor like roasting ovens in
the 90 degree heat, as they swung wood-
en swords at each other with force that
made each blow sound loud as the wood
hit the leather armor.
Ten feet away, five observers in shorts
and T-shirts stood by and watched
the combatants feet and hands move
through the various motions of medieval
field warfare.
All of a sudden the clashing stopped
and the two men stepped away from
each other. The practice session ended.
John Kearbey, one of the fighters,
removed his helmet.
I hope you had fun, Kearbey said to
his opponent.
The other fighter nodded. He had
had fun.
They are the Society for Creative
Anachronism Inc., an international
group that focuses on recreating pre-
17th century Europe. They meet every
Tuesday from 6:30 to 7 p.m., in South
Park to practice their medieval fighting
skills and exchange historical informa-
tion.
We are all history geeks for the most
part with an interest in medieval life, said
Richard Jones, a Lawrence resident and
27-year society member.
Jones is known in the SCA world as
Richard Wolfwood, a 10th or 11th cen-
tury Hasting Anglo-Saxon.
Members of SCA choose the name
of a person who lived prior to the 17th
century. Through research the members
choose clothes and weapons fitting to
their chosen medieval personage and
become that historical character.
Travis Wittner, another SCA mem-
ber, plays Udutaitoghan, a 13th century
Mongol.
We research very heavily everything
that we do, Wittner said. We try to
exclude as much of the modern world
as possible except for medicine in case
someone gets hurt in a battle.
SCA holds events worldwide but
members regularly attend those held
in their kingdoms. The Kingdom of
Calontir, to which the Lawrence chap-
ter belongs, includes chapters in Kansas,
Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska and parts of
Arkansas.
Events include a tournament, staged
battles involving up to 300 people and
individual jousting.
Wittner said he had been a 20 year
member and he still loves it.
To hear the cannons go off it just fills
you with endorphins and adrenaline and
you go rush each other and hear the clash
and clatter of everyone hitting. There is
nothing like it, he said.
Each member wears protective gear
from the era which is either handmade by
the members or bought at SCA events.
Not all SCA members participate in
the fighting. As Jones put it, the fighting
is just the easy to see part.
Meg Brandt, a non-traditional student
from Hillsboro who makes 14th century
costumes, said she has tried fighting but
can not bring herself to hit a friend.
Brandt got into the SCA when she
was 17 years old.
Now, nine years later, she said she
used SCA activities to unwind and get
away from everyday life.
Its like kind of stripping away from
the modern world for a little while,
Brandt said.
She said that people experience a
magic moment when they separate
themselves from the modern world.
Its that moment when you see mod-
ern things but you dont register them,
Brandt said. Sometimes its speeding,
sometimes it lasts forever. You have hours
where you forget where you are without
ever really losing track of yourself.
Brandt said that, because of her age,
she doesnt fit in with other students so
she spends most Friday nights with her
SCA friends.
After Tuesdays practice, while
Kearbey and his opponent divested
themselves of their armor, other group
members talked about a member who
was recently knighted. When they had
gathered up all of their equipment they
finally retired to the Jackpot Saloon for
a beer.

The reality is that a 21-year-old
student left the University as
well as her role as a Kansas City
Chiefs cheerleader to enter a
contest for a chance at $500,000.
The entertainment value of
her situation is that she has to
be secluded within a camera-filled
house with 12 total strangers who
are trying to outfox her for their
own stakes at $500,000.
Oh yeah, and one other house
mate is her arch-rival, a nemesis
dug up from a past conflict in her
life.
The students name is Carol
Journey and her biography on the
CBS Web site for the Big Brother
8 reality television program is
similar to the other cast members.
She lists her favorite actresses, her
favorite alcoholic drink and her
favorite sports team: Hers happens
to be the Kansas Jayhawks.
Journey, a junior in business at
the University, was a Rock Chalk
Dancer for three years until she
tried out for and made the Kansas
City Chiefs cheering squad, where
she would have worked this fall had
the filming for Big Brother not
overlapped with cheer rehearsal
times.
Cat Jarzemkoski, spirit squad
coordinator at the University, said
she knew Journey was involved
with something, but Journey
couldnt tell her what. Jarzemkoski
wasnt surprised that Journey was
picked for the show or as a Chiefs
cheerleader.
Shes incredibly talented, she
said. Shes pretty much a go-get-
ter.
Lisa Wehkamp, the girls dance
team coach at Campus High School
in Haysville, thinks that the conflict
between the contestants could stem
from a fight between Journey and
her freshman-year friend Jessica
Hughbanks.
I dont know the details,
Wehkamp said. They typically
dont tell teachers those things.
Wehkamp had both Journey
and Hughbanks on the dance team
when the girls were in ninth grade.
After the first year, Hughbanks
became a cheerleader and Journey
stayed with the dance team for
her remaining three years of high
school.
I do know that at the beginning
of ninth grade they were friends
and by the end of ninth grade they
werent friends, Wehkamp said.
Despite the controversy,
Wehkamp said it was a big deal
when a major television network
plucked two small-town women
out of their lives and plugged them
in front of cameras for 24 hours a
day. She said the entire town will
be watching.
Its a major point of gossip at
this point, she said. Its national
exposure.
What exactly Journey will be
exposed to or exposing during
filming has her father Phil feeling
apprehensive.
Absolutely, said Phil, a Wichita
attorney who is also a Kansas
Senate republican from District 26.
Theres always that possibility she
does something that leads over to
my life.
Phil cant legally discuss the spe-
cifics of Carols situation on the
show because of a contract with
CBS. He couldnt even talk to peo-
ple about the show when a network
camera crew came to his home sev-
eral weeks ago, shot a quick profile
of Carol and her family and then
pulled her away from the Midwest
and took her to Los Angeles.
Phil said Hughbanks might not
be Carols biggest struggle.
Im sure shes going through
electronic withdrawal, he said.
When Carol told her father
she was selected for the show, he
immediately started researching
the program on the Internet. He
said he found Web sites that fea-
tured every nitty-gritty detail

Members of James Gunns sum-
mer course dedicated to science
fiction writing want people to
know that the term sci-fi is con-
sidered derogatory to writers of
the genre.
Some members of the 28th
annual summer workshop were
quick to point out the difference
between sci-fi, which they said
was a term reserved for cheesy
television shows and movies about
ray guns and space ships, and sci-
ence fiction.
They also said that there were
many camps of science fiction
writers, sci-fi fans and enthusi-
asts.
Gunn, professor of English, hosts
a summer workshop and a sum-
mer course dedicated to SF writing
every year where he and his students
work to create quality science fic-
tion.
The workshop finished on July
4, and the summer course began
Monday.
What distinguishes the work-
shop from others, Gunn said, was
its brief duration. Most work-
shops tend to be about six weeks
long.
I wanted to offer people the
opportunity to get as much as they
could out of two weeks as they
could get out of six, Gunn said.
In other workshops there are a
lot of assignments. I wanted to
deal with stories that people had
already written.
The workshop writers dined
together at Mrs. Es and discussed
the nature and theory of SF lit-
erature.
Eighteen people from all over
the world came to live on the
fourth floor of Lewis Hall and
work with Gunn from June 26
to July 4. Two of the 18 have
also stayed to attend the regular
summer class as students of the
University.
Apart from having taught
at the University since the late
1950s, Gunn is the author of
several novels and short stories
in the science fiction genre. He
began writing short stories in the
late 1940s and
was recent-
ly named a
Damon Knight
M e m o r i a l
Grand Master
by the Science
Fiction Writers
of America.
The summer
class requires
students to read
Gunns four-
book series, The
Road to Science Fiction, which
starts with the epic of Gilgamesh
and continues through contempo-
rary SF.
In an essay entitled Teaching
Science Fiction, Gunn talked about
what made the SF story format
unique.
Unlike the mystery, the west-
ern, the gothic, the love story or
the adventure story, to cite a few
of the categories to which it is
often compared, science fiction
has no identi-
fying action or
place, he said.
Readers do
not recognize
it, as they rec-
ognize other
genres, because
of some defin-
ing event or
setting. As a
cons e quence,
science fiction
can incorpo-
rate other genres.
Ryan Nichols, philosophy
teacher at California State-
Fullerton, is one of the two stu-
dents staying on to take Gunns
class.
Theres no better way to teach
students philosophy than to wrap
their minds around science fiction,
Nichols said.
Gunn spent the first few min-
utes of the last workshop read-
ing excerpts from his collection
of original short stories, Future
Imperfect, and talking about his
encounters with writers such as
William S. Burroughs, Frederik
Pohl, Isaac Asimov and James
Campbell.
Gulserene Dastur, novelist and
workshop attendee from Geneva,
Switzerland, called Gunn a remark-
able man.
Hes part of the golden age,
Dastur said. What is really won-
derful is that he can pick up a
story by a novice, a newcomer
who has never written SF before,
and he treats it with the same
respect as if it were written by
Asimov.

Sunday liquor sales begin
in Wichita stores
WICHITA A lot more beer
came of the walls of stores in
Wichita on Sunday as customers
could fnally take them down and
pass them around.
Liquor and convenience stores
in the states largest city started
selling alcohol Sunday after an
attempt to force a citywide vote to
continue the ban of sales on the
frst day of the week had failed.
Liquor store owners and em-
ployees around town said Sundays
sales rivaled those of Saturday as
some outlets ofered discounts to
attract customers.
The Wichita City Council ap-
proved the expanded sales in
April, but the law didnt go into
efect until this week because op-
ponents tried to force a citywide
vote to keep Sundays dry.

Reward in Smith case to
be divided three ways
LENEXA A $27,000 reward
will be divided evenly among
three people whose tips led to the
arrest of a man accused of abduct-
ing a teenager from a Target store
parking lot and strangling her.
During a news conference
Monday in Lenexa, members of
the Greater Kansas City Crime
Stoppers TIPS hot line declined to
identify the three tipsters. Mem-
bers of the Crime Stoppers board
formally approved the distribution
of the reward during a meeting
earlier in the day.
The reward was ofered after
18-year-old Kelsey Smiths June
2 kidnapping from an Overland
Park Target store was captured on
surveillance cameras. Her body
was found four days later in a park
on the Missouri side of the Kansas
City metropolitan area, after a
barrage of media coverage that
helped generate 1,400 tips, includ-
ing a record 160 calls to the TIPS
hot line during a single eight-hour
shift.

Wild West World closes
after poor attendance
WICHITA Blaming the poor
weather for attendance woes, Wild
West World fled for bankruptcy
just two months after the $30
million destination theme park
opened in suburban Wichita.
The theme park, which opened
to the public in Park City on May 5,
announced Monday it would close
immediately and fled for Chapter
11 bankruptcy protection. The
company said it was looking for a
new buyer with deeper pockets
to run the park.
The bankruptcy leaves hun-
dreds of unpaid creditors in-
cluding Park City, which is owed
more than $2 million for industrial
revenue bonds and other equip-
ment in a lurch. The bankruptcy
fling lists millions more owed to
banks, ride manufacturers, vendors
and season ticket holders.

Cofeyville residents displaced by the recent food await their turn to board busses for a tour of the restricted area Monday in Cofeyville.
Cofeyville residents return
to homes afer food, oil spill
By Roxana Hegeman
Associated Press
WICHITA Floodwater receded
from most sodden neighborhoods
in Coffeyville, giving many residents
Monday their first well-orchestrated
glimpse of the devastation left behind
by an oil spill amid the torrential rains
that flooded their town.
City officials gave residents bus
tours into once-flooded sections, but
kept people on the buses because of
fears about health hazards left behind
by the contaminated water.
A flood can pose more human
health hazards than a tornado because
floodwaters carry contaminants and
bacteria. Fecal coliform levels is just
one example of the concern, said
Sharon Watson, spokeswoman for
Kansas Emergency Management.
Two floodwater samples from
Coffeyville showed the level of fecal coli-
form bacteria was more than 130 times
the standard, the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency said. The bacteria
can cause stomachache, fever, vomiting
and diarrhea. A cut or a wound at the
point of contact with the bacteria can
lead to fever, redness and swelling, the
EPA said.
Even though most of the floodwater
has receded, people would have to walk
through some pockets of it or touch it
as they go through their homes.

DETROIT There was no
mourning at this funeral.
Hundreds of onlookers cheered
Monday afternoon as the NAACP
put to rest a long-standing expres-
sion of racism by holding a public
burial for the N-word during its
annual convention.
Delegates from across the coun-
try marched from downtown
Detroits Cobo Center to Hart
Plaza. Two Percheron horses pulled
a pine box adorned with a bouquet
of fake black roses and a black rib-
bon printed with a derivation of
the word.
The coffin is to be placed at
historically black Detroit Memorial
Park Cemetery and will have a
headstone.
Today were not just burying the
N-word, were taking it out of our
spirit, said Detroit Mayor Kwame
Kilpatrick. We gather burying all
the things that go with the N-word.
We have to bury the pimps and the
hos that go with it.
He continued: Die N-word, and
we dont want to see you round here
no more.
The N-word has been used as a
slur against blacks for more than a
century. It remains a symbol of rac-
ism, but also is used by blacks when
referring to other blacks, especially
in comedy routines and rap and
hip-hop music.
This was the greatest child that
racism ever birthed, the Rev. Otis
Moss III, assistant pastor at Trinity
United Church of Christ in Chicago,
said in his eulogy.
Public discussion on the words
use increased last year following a
tirade by Seinfeld actor Michael
Richards, who used it repeatedly
during a Los Angeles comedy rou-
tine and later issued a public apol-
ogy.
The issue about racially insensi-
tive remarks heated up earlier this
year after talk show host Don Imus
described black members of the
Rutgers University womens basket-
ball team as nappy-headed hos on
April 4.

ST. LOUIS Two people injured
when pyrotechnics went awry at
Beyonce Knowles concert in St.
Louis received a surprise emergency
room visit from the singer.
The accident happened Sunday
night, just as the R&B stars con-
cert began. A spokeswoman for
Scottrade Center didnt return
phone calls seeking comment, but
broadcast reports said pyrotech-
nics meant for the stage acciden-
tally spilled into the front row.
Two concertgoers were taken
to Barnes-Jewish Hospital.
Spokeswoman Kathy Holleman
wouldnt release their names but
said the injuries were minor. Both
were expected to make a full recov-
ery.
Soon after the concert, Knowles
arrived at the hospital, said head
nurse Darryl Williams.
She was just very concerned
about the people injured in the audi-
ence, Williams said. It was unan-
nounced and we kept it very low-key
so that she could spend time with
them.
Knowles, 25, met with the fans for
about 45 minutes. I just thought it
was a great thing for someone of her
stature to do, Williams said.
A spokesman for Houston-based
Music World Entertainment, which
represents Knowles, declined com-
ment.
Knowles world tour opened in
April in Tokyo and runs through
early September. Other stops include
New Orleans, Dallas, New York
City, Washington, Boston, Chicago,
Denver, Las Vegas and Los Angeles.

Sixth Sense actress
Collette pregnant
SYDNEY, Australia
Toni Collette had been
leaning toward mother-
hood roles, and now she
thinks she knows why: The
Oscar-nominated actress
confirmed Monday that
shes pregnant.
It will be the first child
for the 34-year-old Aus-
tralian actress and her
musician husband, Dave
Galafassi.
Collette was nominated
for an Academy Award in
the best supporting actress
category for her role in
1999s supernatural thriller
The Sixth Sense, and her
more recent roles include a
mother in the dysfunctional
family comedy Little Miss
Sunshine.
It is strange the last three
flms Ive done I have been
pregnant, said Collette, who
is currently in Sydney with
her side project, a rocknroll
band that includes Galafassi
on drums.
Im just like, what is the
universe trying to tell me?
she said. But I think every-
thing happens when its
meant to.
Collette and her band, The
Finish, were among the acts
that appeared Saturday at
the Sydney edition of Live
Earth, the global concert
series that aimed to raise
awareness about global
warming.

mens basketball
By Dylan Schoonover
dschoonover@kansan.com
For the second time this offsea-
son, a Jayhawk basketball player will
be sidelined with a leg injury.
Sophomore forward Darrell
Arthur suffered a stress fracture in
his lower left leg and will be forced
to miss the 2007 FIBA U19 World
Championship in Serbia. Arthur
said in a press release that he was
disappointed to miss the World
Championship. He had been playing
with the injury since July 3 but said
he didnt think it was a fracture.
I thought it was just tendonitis
or something and I would be able
to play through it, Arthur said in a
press release. The trainer told me to
see the doctor and after some tests
he confirmed it was a stress fracture
and I would be out a month or two.
When I heard it was a stress fracture,
I was surprised.
Arthur was one of 12 players
selected nationally to represent
the United States Under 19 squad.
According to the press release,
Arthur said he had never traveled
overseas and would have enjoyed the
opportunity to play in Serbia.
Kansas coach Bill Self said in
the press release that he understood
Arthurs disappointment. Self said
the injury should be healed in four-
to-six weeks.
He did very well in Dallas and
was expected to play well in Serbia
representing our country, Self said.
If this had to happen, it was good it
happened now because we expect a
complete recovery and for him to
be at full speed before the start of
school.
Arthur will return from practic-
ing in Dallas and begin treatment
this week in Lawrence. Both Arthur
and junior Brandon Rush have suf-
fered leg injuries this summer. On
May 29, Rush tore his ACL before
working out for NBA teams. Rush
had surgery and is expected to be
out until at least November.

Danielle McCray isnt a vocal bas-
ketball player.
She said she rarely strays from a
balanced demeanor and isnt going
to be the player in the locker room
hyping the rest of players up before a
game. She prefers to lead by example,
letting her game do the talking.
Off the court, the sophomore
guards voice is heard more often. She
said she calls her mother five times a
day. She also communicates daily with
Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson,
the woman who makes McCray feel
like family and persuaded McCray
to come to Kansas, instead of national
power Duke.
I talk to coach Bonnie every day
that she is in town, McCray said. A
lot of players love to talk to our assis-
tants but Im the only one that has the
close bond in talking to coach. She
even calls and talks to my mom, too.
McCray said Henrickson always
stayed on her to get better on the
court but helped her grow as a person
as well. McCray said that while in
high school, the competition didnt
challenge her. She said she was a little
overweight coming into college and
hadnt taken practice as seriously as
she should have.
McCray has since slimmed down
and learned that practice is often
more important than the game.
Coach Bonnie and I really are like
the same person, McCray said. She
never yells but shell come over and
tell me the negatives with my playing.
I like it though, it motivates me to
prove Im better than that.
McCray said she loves playing
for Kansas, but prior to Henrickson
coaching at the University, McCray
had her sights on other places.
When I moved to Kansas, I came
to a KU game and I didnt like this
school, McCray said. I remember
they got blown out by 30 to K-State
and I didnt like that.
McCray said that when Henrickson
became the coach, her perception
about the school started to change.
She said while Duke only commu-
nicated to her through the assistant
coaches, Henrickson talked directly
to her and her family.
The personal connection may be
paying off. In five of the final six
games last season, McCray scored in
double figures, including a career-
high 25 points in a double-overtime
victory against rival Kansas State.
McCray said she had begun to
accomplish her goal of starting a
winning tradition at Kansas similar
to that of the mens team. She said she
hoped that her time at Kansas could
define the path of the program for
years to come.
Despite being second on the team
in scoring and named to the All-Big
12 freshman team, McCray said she
felt she underachieved last season.
She said this year she would make
the transition to guard after being a
forward last season.
Over the course of the sum-
mer, McCray has used the time to
improve her ball-handling skills and
lifts weights to strengthen her inside
game. She said she enjoyed working
Henricksons basketball camps and
watching the children playing around
her. She said it was fun signing auto-
graphs for the children who look up
to her and her teammates.
McCray and her teammates will
leave August 3 on an exhibition tour
against semi-pro teams in Australia.
The team will play four games dur-
ing the tour and get to take in some
of the sights in Australia during the
off days.
Ive never been out of the United
States, McCray said. I picture play-
ing like these big girls with weird
uniforms. Either way I know it will be
a great experience.

Administrator takes job
as UNC-Wilmington AD
Kansas senior womens
administrator Kelly Mehrtens
was named the new athletics
director at UNC-Wilmington,
the school announced Monday.
Mehrtens had been at Kansas
for nearly four
years.
Im
extremely
excited about
the opportu-
nity to lead the
UNCW athletic
department,
Mehrtens
said. We have a terrific group of
coaches, staff and student athletes
who are committed to athletic and
academic excellence.
At Kansas, Mehrtens assisted
on the Universitys fund-raising
team for athletics that raised
$19 million for facility improve-
ments in three years.
At UNC-Wilmington, she will
make the same $171,000 per
