Rockin out the hill

After a four-year hiatus, Day on
the Hill is back.
The music festival will begin at 2
p.m. Saturday on the lawn next to
the Lied Center and is expected to
last past 8 p.m.
The Austin, Texas, indy rock band
Spoon, along with funk/soul band
Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings,
will co-headline the performance.
The festival will also feature local
bands The Belles, Kelpie, Ghosty,
and Superargo. Tickets are free for
students with a KUID and $10 for
general public. They are available at
the SUA box offce.
Day on the Hill was an all-day
concert that took place annually
from 1988 to 2002 and was canceled
after the Student Union Activities
could no longer afford to put on a
quality show for the audience.
The reason the event was no lon-
ger taking place was because of the
budget restrictions and talent fees,
said Katie Smith, SUA comedy and
concerts coordinator and Tucson,
Ariz., senior. As an organization we
could not get the level of bands that
we felt would attract people to Day
on the Hill.
The event makes its return in large
part because of the passing of the $5
Student Activity Fee in Spring 2005.
Arthur Jones, Flower Mound, Texas,
senior and senior Senator, said he re-
membered that student referendum
because SUAs ability to serve stu-
dents was decreasing and anything
that could improve student life on
campus in a signifcant way would
get passed.

Following
doctors
orders

Emily Allred wont leave her apartment without
a mask for the next week.
The Dallas junior was diagnosed with mumps
on Wednesday and ordered into quarantine by
the state health
d e p a r t me nt .
Offcials at
Watkins Me-
morial Health
Center forbade
her from at-
tending class
for at least nine
days.
The swell-
ing in her jaw
has made eat-
ing a challenge,
creating a near-
paralysis effect,
Allred said. Her
diet consists of
mostly meal-re-
placement drinks, which keep her from painfully
opening her mouth.
Allred is one of 16 University of Kansas students
out of class this week after showing symptoms of
mumps. Five of those students have been con-
frmed with mumps through laboratory results.
As a viral infection, mumps spreads like the
common cold or infuenza, which can be con-
tracted through coughing, sneezing and shared
drinks. The crowded living situations and lecture
halls of university campuses make those diseases
easier to spread, said Patricia Denning, chief of
staff at Watkins Memorial Health Center.
Allred said her case of mumps could be traced
to the roommate of a friend, who also had mumps.
Matt Jopling, Dallas junior, said that his symptoms
a swollen lymph node and fever had made
his week anything but pleasant. Other symptoms
can include headaches and general aches and
pains. Jopling didnt know what mumps was un-
til he got the disease. Like the majority of those
with mumps, Jopling was also vaccinated with the
MMR measles, mumps, rubella vaccine.
This years strain should have been covered
by the vaccine, Denning said, but after a certain
amount of time, the vaccine might not adequately
fght the virus. However, Allred said her most re-
cent MMR vaccination was in 2003.
Lynn Bretz, University spokeswoman, said she
expected the number of cases to continue to in-
crease as students became more aware of mumps-
specifc symptoms.
Toni Bergquist, Holton freshman and The Uni-
versity Daily Kansan account executive, contacted
everyone she had been around after she was diag-
nosed. She left Lawrence and her residence hall
home, after her symptoms were confrmed Thurs-
day morning. She said she planned on returning to
the University after her symptoms subsided and
after the mandatory nine-day confnement period.

Dont come to
debate, board
tells coalition
By niCOle Kelley
nkelley@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The Student Senate elec-
tions commissioner suggested
Wednesday to candidates of the
$100 Fee Cut coalition that they
not even show up for Mon-
days formal debate.
The commissioner sent an
e-mail to Dennis Chanay and
Johnathan Wilson of the co-
alition following Wednesdays
debate after most of the ques-
tions from students focused on
a referendum proposed by the
coalition to cut $46 a semester
from students required cam-
pus fees.
The e-mail was in response to
a comment Chanay, presiden-
tial candidate for his coalition,
made during the debate.
The Paola sophomore told
audience members not to vote
for him as president. He said he
was running for president only
as a way to gain publicity for the
referendum to cut fees.
I encourage open discus-
sion, said Cullin Hughes,
Lenexa senior and elections
commissioner. There are cer-
tain arenas that are appropriate
for this discussion, but there are
others, in my opinion, that are
not.
Hughes said the debate Mon-
day was intended to discuss
which candidates should be
voted into offce and not which
initiatives should be passed.
Chanay said he and his run-
ning mate still planned to attend
the debate.
He said this was an issue of
censorship. By not letting the
coalition discuss the initiative,
the elections commission was
silencing the voices of every per-
son who signed the original pe-
tition in support of the fee cut,
Chanay said.
We had all our forms turned
in and had all the signatures
needed. We have the right to the
debate, Chanay said.
Hughes said he was not trying
to censor any candidate.
The only reason I sent that
e-mail is because it appeared
to me that they were planning
to use the debate to talk about
something other than the issue
at hand, which is the presiden-
tial and vice presidential elec-
tions, he said.
Burdett Loomis, professor
of political science, said that
as long as the third coalition,
such as $100 Fee Cut, followed
the rules of the debate that have
been set up in advance, then
they had every right to be there.

city to begin manager-hiring process
Requests for executive search frm proposals
will begin Tuesday at the Lawrence City Com-

step toward hiring a new city manager.
The frm will assist the city commissioners
in the search. The proposal deadline is April
25. The frms that apply will be eligible for
approval by May 2. City commissioners will
meet then with the frm they select to start the
hiring process.
Hiring a search firm to assist in recruiting
a city manager is common for city govern-
ing bodies, said Dave Corliss, interim city

Fraternity cycles for a good cause
Pi Kappa Phi will fnish its stationary cycling
fundraiser, PUSH America, at noon today on
Wescoe Beach.
The fraternity has been riding day and night
since Wednesday, with members switching rid-
ing shifts on the two bikes.
They are riding to raise money for people
with disabilities. To make the fundraiser com-
petitive, coin jars are set up near the cyclers,
in which people can place quarters, dimes and
nickels. Quarters represent positive points,
while other coins represent negative points.
Each KU sorority has a jar, and the one with
the most points will receive 15 percent of the
fundraisers proceeds.
The fraternity chose a cycling event in con-
currence with its national summer philanthropy,
the Journey of Hope. The journey will include
three KU students riding from San Fransisco,
Calif., to Washington, D.C.

coyote Ugly bar creates debate
The AssociATed Press
KANSAS CITY, Kan. Wyan-
dotte County offcials, who devel-
opers say initially granted a request
to bring a bar to a shopping district
near the Kansas Speedway now face
a legal battle, after denying a special-
use application for the Coyote Ugly
Saloon.
RED Speedway Inc., the develop-
er of The Legends shopping center,
claims it received approval in 2004 to
bring in, as a tenant, the New York-
based bar known for bartop-dancing
women and the movie it inspired by
the same name.
But wary that the national chain
uses sex as a marketing tool, and af-
ter public outcry at two meetings ear-
lier this year, Unifed Government of
Wyandotte County and Kansas City,
Kan., commissioners rejected a per-
mit required of businesses that in-
tend to sell more alcohol than food.
That prompted lawyers for RED
Speedway, Inc. and Coyote Ugly to
fle a lawsuit contending that offcials
acted arbitrarily. They also claim the
original approval was instrumental
in the design of The Legends and
that $2 million has been spent in
constructing a building for the bar.
RED Speedway Inc. wants a Wy-
andotte County court to either over-
turn the commissioners decision
and approve the permit, or award
more than $2 million in damages.
Ive read the lawsuit and we be-
lieve the commissions action was
well within the law and based on
facts and supported by evidence,
said Hal Walker, chief legal counsel
for the Unifed Government. We
fnd the entire basis of their lawsuit a
little bit absurd.
County offcials say the original
approval was merely a letter dem-
onstrating what kind of entertain-
ment, stores and restaurants would
be included in the development. But
it did not obligate offcials to issue
special-use permits for any tenets
that might require them.
The Legends shopping center is
a $237 million addition to Village
West, near the Kansas Speedway,
which includes several restau-
rants but has yet to open a full-
fledged bar.

Their budget was not enough to attract big names
and they were not doing what they were supposed to
do, which is engage students, he said.
It was just one of those common sense things
that if I can pay $5 to get enough money for John
Stewart to come in, then thats worth it to me,
Jones said.
In the past, Day on the Hill has featured big
name bands such as Pearl Jam and the Gin Blos-
soms. Smith said she wasnt bothered by a lack of
a household-name band.
We feel pretty condent that the groups we have
assembled will put on a good show. Many of the local
bands are on the rise and the concert will have good
music that people will enjoy, she said.
The event will feature several carnival games to
keep visitors entertained and KJHK DJs from its
Hot Lunch program will spin music during inter-
missions between performers.
The concert is a way to say thank you for pass-
ing the activity fund and bringing back a great KU
tradition. This concert is a trial run for Day on the
Hill to see if we will be bringing back the concert
permanently, Smith said.
Debate
It seems to me the coalitions, if they were half
as clever as they think they are, could gure out
how to use the third partys ranting to their advan-
tage. They have to take advantage of the rules of
the game, Loomis said. Gee, theres a stunner for
you. Its politics.
He said that what
the $100 Fee Cut
coalition was do-
ing was the classic
third party method
to stir things up.
Its very Ameri-
can, Loomis said.
Chanay said the
debate Wednesday
was both fair and positive.
Those were completely student-driven ques-
tions, he said. Students who were interested in
it came up and asked us.
Hughes said he didnt want to see the system exploit-
ed. He said the $100 Fee Cut coalition was welcome to
set up an event in which the discussion of initiatives was
the main purpose. Chanay said the debate on Wednes-
day showed what issues the students were really inter-
ested in. He said that there was a lot of misinformation
going around about the fee cut referendum, but that it
still had a strong possibility to be passed.
I think they will see that there are some major
aws in what we like to call student democracy, he
said. They will see it for what it is and they will call it

Cancer
in September and has had two members lives
directly affected by cancer.
In November, Kennedy learned that his younger
brother, Darren Kennedy, a freshman at the Uni-
versity, had cancer. Allens mother died of cancer
in 2000. Kennedy said that he remembered how
he felt on the day he found out his brother had
lymphoblastic lymphoma and that he knew he
wanted to raise awareness about the disease.
I hate feeling helpless and I didnt know what
to do for him. I couldnt be a bone marrow donor
because we werent a match, he said. I wanted
to do a benet show because I was doing research
and found out that 1.4 million people are diag-
nosed with cancer a year and over 500,000 people
die a year. I knew I had to do something.
The group released an album entitled The Ques-
tion and has plans to release a follow-up album,
The Answer, in Fall 2006. Theyre also planning a
cancer benet album, called The Problem, which
will feature many local performers, Allen said.
Allen said, We are trying to accomplish two
goals with the concert. First and most important-
ly we want to raise money for cancer, he said.
Secondly, we want to set Lawrence straight on
hip-hop. Across the country hip-hop gets a bad
reputation, and we want to show that hip-hop can
support a good cause and still have fun.
Kennedy echoed many of those thoughts when
he said, Its kind of crazy because rap killed
somebody in front of the Granada and now hip-
hop is going to save a whole bunch of lives at the
Bottleneck.

WASHINGTON With a
grand jury investigating and
little support from House col-
leagues, Rep. Cynthia McK-
inney reversed course and
apologized Thursday for an
altercation in which she en-
tered a Capitol building un-
recognized, refused to stop
when asked by a police offi-
cer and then hit him.
I am sorry that this misun-
derstanding happened at all and
I regret its escalation, and I apol-
ogize, McKinney, D-Ga., said
during a brief appearance on the
House oor. There should not
have been any physical contact
in this incident.
The grand jury investiga-
tion into whether to seek as-
sault or other charges is con-
tinuing. It was unclear what
impact McKinneys apology
might have.
Her remarks came as two
House officials who witnessed
the March 29 scuffle prepared
to answer subpoenas from
the federal grand jury con-
vened by U.S. Attorney Ken-
neth Wainstein. A day ear-
lier, McKinney was shunned
by several colleagues on the
House floor, while the leaders
of her party openly rejected
her explanation that she was
acting in self defense when
she hit the officer.
The night before the apology,
members of the Congressional
Black Caucus urged McKin-
ney in a private meeting to nd
a way to put the matter to rest,
said a person familiar with the
session.
What McKinney called a
misunderstanding on Thurs-
day, she had labeled racial
proling and inappropriate
touching a day earlier.
For nearly a week, her and
her lawyers had insisted she had
been assaulted and had done
nothing wrong.
She is black and the police of-
cer is white.
McKinney, 51, has a history
of confrontations with ofcers.
In this case, she entered a
House office building with-
out passing through the metal
detector that screens visi-
tors. Members of Congress
are permitted to bypass the
machines, but she was not
wearing the pin that identi-
fied her as a House member
at the time.
The ofcer, whose name has
not been made public, has said
he asked McKinney three times
to stop. She did not.
Terrance Gainer, outgoing
chief of the Capitol Police, has
said the ofcer placed a hand on
McKinney and she responded
by hitting him.
He said McKinneys race was
not a factor.
Even as McKinney tried to
put the incident behind her, a
new scufe occurred Thursday
outside the Capitol.

Georgia Rep. apologizes
Rep. Cynthia McKinney, D-Ga., apologizes on the oor of the House of Representatives on Capitol Hill in Washington
on Thursday for her earlier altercation with a Capitol Hill police ofcer.
Student Senate Elections Commissioner Cul-
lin Hughes sent this e-mail to the $100 Fee Cuts
presidential and vice presidential candidates Dennis
Chanay and Johnathan Wilson on Wednesday. It
was sent after questions from students dealt with the
coalitions initiative to cut student fees $46 a semester.
For the debate on Monday, all questions
and answers will deal with the race for
President and Vice President. I feel that too
much of today was focused on the initiative
to cut student fees, and not enough on the
actual race at hand. I can assure you that
the questions will deal with the Presidential
and Vice Presidential races only, and the
answers should address these questions
accordingly. If you are intending to run for
these ofces and would like the chance to
debate the issues that will be presented on
Monday, thats ne. But if you intend to
use the formal debate as an arena to push
the fee cut initiative, I suggest that you not
even show up, as I will cut off all answers
that either do not answer or stray away
from the matter at hand. If you have any
questions, let me know.
Thanks,
Cullin Hughes

ALEXANDRIA, Va. The
stories and photos of four young
children, all of whom lost par-
ents in the 9/11 attacks, brought
witnesses to tears and visibly af-
fected jurors Thursday at the
death penalty trial of al-Qaida
conspirator Zacarias Mouss-
aoui.
The second phase of the sen-
tencing trial to determine
whether Moussaoui deserves
execution or life in prison
opened Thursday.
Early on, prosecutors played
videos of the two hijacked jetlin-
ers hitting the gleaming World
Trade Center towers. They also
showed videos of people plung-
ing more than 80 stories to their
deaths and punctuated their
presentation with family photos
of loved ones.
Each hour the emotional im-
pact grew.
Former New York Mayor Ru-
dolph Guiliani retold the now-
familiar tale of his own harrow-
ing experience in debris-choked
lower Manhattan on Sept. 11,
2001.
But it was not until he spoke
of the daughter of one of his
closest aides, Beth Petrone Hat-
ton, that Guilianis voice quaked
and broke.
Firefghter Terence S. Hatton
who earned 19 medals in 21
years died without knowing
his wife was pregnant.
One female juror looked
stricken. The rest hung motion-
less on Guilianis every word.
Even Moussaoui, who had af-
fected a look of boredom during
the showing of video of falling
bodies, watched the ex-mayor
intently as he described Terry
Hatton, who was born May 15,
2002. Her picture with Guiliani
fashed on the screen.
Terrys going to grow up
without a father ... without a
very special father, Guiliani
said. You cant replace that.
... Theres no way that mon-
ey, camps and scholarships,
which is very important and
which we raised, can replace
that.
Guiliani aides in the audience
dabbed their eyes with tissue
and sniffed.

Judas gospel
tells new story
Mannie Garcia/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
An exhibit containing actual artifacts of the Gospel of Judas was on display at the National Geographic Society in Washington, D.C., Thursday. The ancient
manuscript contains the only known copy of the Gospel of Judas and was recently discovered. It will open to the public today.
By Randolph e. SchMid
WASHINGTON For 2,000
years Judas has been reviled for
betraying Jesus. Now a newly
translated ancient document
seeks to tell his side of the sto-
ry.
The Gospel of Judas tells a
far different tale from the four
gospels in the New Testament.
It portrays Judas as a favored
disciple who was given spe-
cial knowledge by Jesus and
who turned him in at Jesus re-
quest.
You will be cursed by the
other generations and you
will come to rule over them, Je-
sus tells Judas in the document
made public Thursday.
The text, one of several an-
cient documents found in the
Egyptian desert in 1970, was
preserved and translated by a
team of scholars. It was made
public in an English translation
by the National Geographic So-
ciety.
Religious and lay readers
alike will debate the meaning
and truth of the manuscript.
But it does show the diversity
of beliefs in early Christianity,
said Marvin Meyer, professor of
Bible studies at Chapman Uni-
versity in Orange, Calif.
The text, in the Coptic lan-
guage, was dated to about the
year 300 and is a copy of an ear-
lier Greek version.
A Gospel of Judas was frst
mentioned around A.D. 180
by Bishop Irenaeus of Lyon, in
what is now France. The bishop
denounced the manuscript as
heresy because it differed from
mainstream Christianity. The
actual text had been thought
lost until this discovery.
Elaine Pagels, a professor of
religion at Princeton University,
said, The people who loved,
circulated and wrote down these
gospels did not think they were
heretics.
Christianity in the ancient
world had many more gospels
circulating than now.

Senate debates immigration bill
Khampha Bouaphanh/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
U.S. Border Patrol Agent Jeff McIntosh instructs illegal immigrants to board a bus after they were apprehended in Pima County, Ariz., Thursday. Lawmakers
in Washington are debating immigration reform measures including some that would add thousands of agents to the border.
By DaviD Espo
WASHINGTON Putting
aside party differences, Senate
Republicans and Democrats co-
alesced Thursday around com-
promise legislation that holds
out the hope of citizenship to an
estimated 11 million immigrants
living in the United States un-
lawfully.
We can no longer afford to
delay reform, said Republican
Sens. John McCain and Edward
M. Kennedy in a statement that
capped weeks of struggle to fnd
common ground.
President Bush said he was
pleased with the developments
and urged the Senate to pass
legislation by weeks end.
But the emerging compro-
mise drew fre from both ends
of the political spectrum. Con-
servative Sen. John Cornyn, R-
Texas, likened it to an amnesty
bill that cleared Congress in
1986, while AFL-CIO President
John Sweeney said it threatened
to drive millions of hardwork-
ing immigrants further into the
shadows of American society,
leaving them vulnerable to ex-
ploitation.
Still, after days of partisan,
election-year rancor, an over-
night breakthrough on the future
of illegal immigrants propelled
the Senate closer to passage of
the most sweeping immigration
legislation in two decades.
In an indication of the com-
plicated political forces at work,
offcials of both parties disagreed
about which side had blinked.
But they agreed that a decision
to reduce the number of future
temporary workers allowed into
the country had broken a dead-
lock that threatened as late as
Wednesday night to scuttle ef-
forts to pass a bill. The change
will limit temporary work per-
mits to 325,000 a year, down
from 400,000 in earlier versions
of the bill.
Senate Majority Leader Bill
Frist, R-Tenn., characterized the
developments as a huge break-
through. Senate Democratic
leader Harry Reid of Nevada
said he was optimistic about f-
nal passage, but cautioned, We
cant declare victory.
Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa.,
chairman of the Senate Judi-
ciary Committee, said: While
it admittedly is not perfect,
the choice we have to make is
whether it is better than no bill,
and the choice is decisive.
Separately, the legislation
provides a new program for 1.5
million temporary agriculture in-
dustry workers over fve years.
It also includes provisions for
employers to verify the legal sta-
tus of workers they hire, but it
was not clear what sanctions, if
any, would apply to violators.
To secure the border, the bill
calls for a virtual fence as
opposed to the literal barrier
contained in House legislation
consisting of surveillance
cameras, sensors and other
monitoring equipment.

Bush promotes
acting director
of disaster relief
By HopE yEn
WASHINGTON With
hurricane season just two
months away, President Bush
on Thursday nominated the
acting director of the Federal
Emergency Management Agen-
cy to be permanent head of
the nations disaster response
agency.
R. David Paulison, a 30-year
frefghter, took over
at FEMA in Septem-
ber, when Bush named
him to replace Michael
Brown, who quit in
the face of unrelent-
ing criticism over the
agencys sluggish re-
sponse to Hurricane
Katrina.
If confrmed by
the Senate, Paulison
would be undersecre-
tary for federal emer-
gency management at
the Homeland Security
Department.
Id be darned if I
was going to turn my
back on it, Paulison
said of his job at a news confer-
ence after he and Homeland Se-
curity Secretary Michael Cher-
toff acknowledged that some
others were not interested in the
post.
Of the June 1 start of the hur-
ricane season, Paulison said,
Were going to be ready for
it.
The Bush administration has
been widely criticized for being
unprepared for Katrina, which
ravaged the Gulf Coast on Aug.
29, and for responding to its de-
struction too slowly.
Paulison, 59, began as a fre-
fghter in 1971 with the North
Miami Beach Fire Department,
which was absorbed by the Mi-
ami-Dade Fire Rescue Depart-
ment.
Paulison, who received a
bachelors degree from Florida
Atlantic University, was just six
weeks into his new job as fre
chief in Miami-Dade County
when Hurricane Andrew struck
in 1992, leaving tens of thou-
sands of people homeless and
causing billions of dollars in
damage.
Paulison also led the
department through
the 1996 crash of Valu-
Jet Flight 592 in the
Florida Everglades.
Praised for his re-
sponse to Andrew, Pau-
lison brought hands-
on experience and his
training in fghting fres
and emergency man-
agement to his post as
FEMAs interim direc-
tor.
A longtime advocate
of home-emergency
kits, Paulison made a
splash in 2003 when
as director of FEMAs
emergency prepared-
ness unit he urged the public to
stock supplies of duct tape and
plastic sheeting to seal windows
and doors in case of a terrorist
attack.
Home hardware stores in sev-
eral areas ran out of duct tape
as a result and manufacturers
spurred production to meet the
surge in demand.
A certifed paramedic, Pau-
lison moved to Washington in
late 2001. After FEMA became
part of the Homeland Security
Department in 2003, he led FE-
MAs emergency preparedness
force until last year. He also has
led the U.S. Fire Administra-
tion.

In the debacle of the
State Legislatures public
education funding thus far, a
nugget of common sense has
finally arrived.
The House and Senate both
passed legislation that would
let the University and other
Regents schools keep the
interest earned on tuition dol-
lars. The money now goes to
an all-purpose state fund.
The bill awaits signing by
Gov. Kathleen Sebelius.
The University could use
the estimated $3.3 million to
help with building repairs.
At a campus where de-
ferred maintenance projects
add up to $168.5 million and
the microburst did another
$4 million worth of damage,
cash from interest would
be a welcome resource for
repairs.
The bill also has two
things going for it that other
funding doesnt: It doesnt
cost taxpayers any more
money and it doesnt cost
students any more money.
Taxes dont need to be raised
and tuition doesnt have to
go up.
Unlike other funding is-
sues, this one makes perfect
sense. The interest on tuition
comes directly from the uni-
versities that attract students
to go there. Theres no reason
why it shouldnt go back to
those schools.
Why shouldnt the Univer-
sity be able to collect on the
tuition money it gets from
attracting students to come
here?
Also, its a sizable amount.
The University gets $3.3
million out of the estimated
$8.5 million interest from all
Regents schools.
But putting that money in
the $4.6 billion state general
fund makes the money a drop
in a very large bucket.
The legislature has been
unable to come up with a
comprehensive plan to help
pay for education.
But now, the state govern-
ment has written a good bill
and gotten it close to being
passed. Hopefully, Sebelius
will sign it to complete this
common-sense trifecta.
John Jordan for the edito-
rial board
Issue: Legislation that
would let the University
keep interest earned on
tuition money
Stance: This bill provides
much-needed money
directly back to the Uni-
versity.

The United States is gradu-
ally becoming a country with a
rampant drug problem. Accord-
ing to the Drug Enforcement
Administrations Web site, the
agencys 2005 budget was slightly
more than $2 billion, compared to
the 1972 budget, which was $65
million. These simple monetary
fgures show that everything to do
with drugs is on the rise.
People use and people abuse
drugs. But worst of all, there are
many things about the drugs
people use that they dont know.
Take for instance, salvia a pow-
erful hallucinogen that is almost
as strong as LSD, according to
some experts, and is completely
legal in all but two states Mis-
souri and Louisiana. Delaware is
contemplating making it illegal. It
is gaining in popularity.
Daniel Seibert maintains
a Web site, sagewisdom.org,
where visitors can learn about
salvia. His site not only discusses
what the drug is, but how to use
it and where to grow it, among
other topics. Even though salvia
is used to produce hallucina-
tions, Seibert stands by the idea
that it should not be abused like
other drugs.
According to his site: Salvia
divinorum is an extraordinary vi-
sionary herb. It is not a recreation-
al drug. It produces a profoundly
introspective state of awareness
that is useful for meditation, con-
templation and self-refection.
This description makes the
drug seem like a completely
magical substance that makes
you feel happy and from which
nothing bad can come. Confict-
ing evidence proves this may not
be the case. The family of a Dela-
ware teenager who committed
suicide in late January, blames
the drug for the teens death. He
didnt overdose, but was on the
drug at the time of his suicide.
Obviously, not enough is known
about this drug.
Again, salvia is only illegal in
two states. It can easily be pur-
chased online by anyone of any
age with a credit card.
I dont agree with an outright
ban, as of now. What I do suggest
is gathering more information.
The Drug Abuse Resistance
Education program educates
many school-aged children about
drugs. The drugs studied through
D.A.R.E. range from marijuana
and tobacco to ecstasy and ste-
roids, but not salvia. If the main
purpose of D.A.R.E. is to inform
kids about drugs, salvia should be
part of the curriculum.
Pamphlets should be made and
distributed in clinics and on col-
lege campuses. The Wellness Re-
source Center in Watkins Memo-
rial Health Center has pamphlets
explaining many different drugs.
Center manager Melissa Smith
said she planned to research salvia
and fnd more information about
it for students.
Another alternative is restrict-
ing salvia in the same way that
tobacco products and alcohol are
restricted. Setting age limits, like
18, would help keep salvia out
of the hands of teenagers. Even
Seiberts site said that salvia was
intended for responsible adults
that are of sound mind and clear
intent.
People know that some drugs
have bad side affects. Salvia may
not be the same. I have never used
salvia, but I think that it should be
completely understood, before it is
made illegal.

The Multicultural Educa-
tion Enhancement referen-
dum will damage the whole
of student organizations and
their relationship with Stu-
dent Senate.
This referendum, generated
by members of the Multicul-
tural Affairs Committee, asks
very little of a student mon-
etarily only $1.50 a se-
mester to aid events deemed
multicultural in nature. What
each and every student needs
to realize is that this margin-
al amount could hamper all
future funding actions within
the Senate.
First, one should real-
ize that this $1.50 is being
added to the already existing
Student Senate Activity Fee
and will not be maintained
in a separate account. The
fine print of this referendum
states that any organization
attending a conference deal-
ing with multiculturalism
or hosting a multicultural
event will be waived from
several of Student Senates
rules. The referendum does
not state that only the money
generated by this fee increase
will go to fund these events.
Second, one should fear
the nature of fund raising.
This referendum will place
groups on unequal ground,
and promote dishonesty
about the nature of events. If
passed, a qualitative judg-
ment about events will force
Senate to fund groups dif-
ferently. But what about the
hard questions?
Do multicultural groups
social events qualify as
events that promote multi-
culturalism? And what will
occur when groups begin to
skim the line? When an en-
gineering event claims to be
geared only towards women
in order to gain more fund-
ing, will we witness the birth
of hundreds of social clubs
with an ethnic attachment?
Soon, Senate will be
bogged down with groups
like a Polish Juggling
Club or an Irish Chess
Club obtaining money that
was meant to educate on a
broader basis.
If your only concern with
programming at this Univer-
sity is multicultural events,
then by all means, vote yes
on this referendum. I believe,
however, that we can find a
better way to aid multicul-
tural programming.
If you are like myself and
believe that the 400-some
student organizations should
be able to appear in front
of Senate on equal footing
to receive money for their
events that further not only
cultural, but social, politi-
cal and general educational
purposes, on April 11 and 12
vote no.

Fee cut would hurt many resources
t guest commentary
The idea of saving the average
student $46 a semester is honor-
able enough on the surface. But
a closer look will reveal that the
fee cut will have a signifcant
negative impact on students.
Your vote for the fee cut is not
a vote for fee relief, but a vote
against essential aspects of stu-
dent life.
A no vote for the fee cut is a
vote to save student health care. If
the fee cut passes, Watkins Health
Center will be crippled in its abil-
ity to provide students with health
care services. The pharmacy
would be closed and students
would fnd themselves having to
pay a large fee every time they
walked through the door.
vote to keep the Student Recre-
ation Center open. The center is
completely student-funded. The
fee cut would force the center to
shorten hours and possibly re-
duce activities and services, such
as KU Fit classes, rock climbing,
exercise equipment, intramurals
and sports groups. It would def-
nitely halt planned expansion.
vote for the environment. The fee
cut eliminates the Campus En-
vironmental Improvement Fee,
which provides for all recycling
around campus. Every blue bin
in every building, residence hall
and cafeteria would be taken
away.
vote to save important staples
that make us unique. The cut
would remove funding from Hill-
top Child Development Center,
care for rape victim survivors, the
Multicultural Resource Center,
the Douglas County Aids Project
and Womens Transitional Care
Services. As students, we have
shown that these groups are
important by funding them. It is
time we defend them.
vote to protect student groups.
Groups can come through Stu-
dent Senate and receive funding
for certain aspects of their group.
The fee cut would virtually
eliminate any ability Senate has
to give money to student groups
for speakers such as Bill Cosby
or even fiers that groups use to
advertise their events.
As students, we should unite
against this fee cut because it
is an attack on student services
at the University. It will tarnish
the reputation of the University
as the premier institution in the
state of Kansas. Students should
stand together and vote no.
Richard Zayas

Andrew Payne

Id like to offer you a tip, from
student to student: Whatever you
do next Tuesday and Wednesday,
dont forget to vote.
Why, you ask? Because for the
frst time in KU history each and
every one of us will have a vote to
reduce fees by $46 a person per se-
mester and a percentage in the sum-
mer. This translates to two things:
First, $2.9 million in fnancial
relief for students and their families.
Second, forced fscal responsibil-
ity from our student leaders.
As you may know, some student
politicians have spoken out against
this measure, probably because it
gives them less of your money to
spend. For instance, you may have
heard that certain student health
fees will be reduced or that the
proposed fee cuts will make little
difference in the lives of students.
But, what you probably havent
heard is that after the fee cuts
Watkins Health Center will still be
up and running; the only difference
being that students will have greater
personal choice as to what phar-
macy to use. Currently, Watkins has
a large reserve account (partially
made up of our money), and a new
state mandate will ensure that the
cost of paying Watkins employees
will begin to rise dramatically dur-
ing the next few years.
All of this will probably result
in a rise in prescription prices and
overhead, paid primarily out of our
pockets. And remember, under the
current system, you pay whether
you use it or not. This, we believe,
is a dangerous situation, trapping
students into a situation that limits
personal choice and forces the
majority of us to pay more than
necessary.
Something else you may not
hear from opponents of the fee cut
is the statistics of the rising cost of
college both fees and tuition. I
know that it is hard for many of us
to pay for college and that loans
and debt are a common occur-
rence. So, by setting an example
and lowering our own fees, we will
encourage the University to follow
suit, tighten spending and reduce
the burden on students and their
families.
Also, the proposed referendum
actually increases the amounts
allocated to the UDK, Campus TV,
Radio, and Saftey budgets (things
that we feel are a high priority).
By ignoring these facts, we
believe that student politicians are
being insensitive to our needs as
students. Remember, we come here
for a good, affordable education,
pleasant atmosphere, great sports
teams and awesome parties not
to have Student Senate spend our
hard earned money on its own pet
projects.
This is why I believe on April 11
and 12, students all across campus,
despite background, major or year,
will sit down at their computers,
examine the numbers and make a
sound judgement.
Remember: Its our money. And
its time to take it back.
Left untouched on the fee
cut referendum are services like
transportation, child-care, womens
sports fees, multi-cultural resource
center fees, SUA and union funds.
In fact, campus will look much the
same after the $100 fee cut referen-
dum is passed, the only difference
will be more money in your pocket
to spend on bills, books or beer.
Despite who you vote for, or even if
you dont vote at all, at the bottom
of this years ballot, vote yes for
lower fees, a more responsible sen-
ate and a stronger KU.

$100 Fee Cut
By Jocelyn noveck
NEW YORK When people
used to ask Connie Chung if a
woman would ever get to an-
chor the network evening news
all by herself, shed say: Not in
my lifetime.
Now Chung, very much alive,
calls Katie Courics move to CBS
a watershed moment. And
shes not the only one who con-
fesses to feeling a shiver of pride.
From womens rights leaders
like Gloria Steinem and Elea-
nor Smeal to ordinary TV view-
ers to Courics own 10-year-old
daughter, a lot of people think
her history-making ascension to
sole anchordom
is a pretty big
deal.
There are se-
rious caveats,
of course. One
is that it took
more than half
a century for a
woman to cross
the fnal frontier
in TV news. And fewer and few-
er people are watching network
news anyway. And fnally, CBS
is dead last in the evening news
race the main reason it need-
ed to lure Couric, after all.
But all that isnt enough to
spoil the happiness of Steinem,
perhaps this countrys most rec-
ognizable feminist, who choos-
es instead to imagine the sight
of Couric assuming that anchor
chair on her frst night.
One thing is sure, said
Steinem. Women and girls
will have their frst vision of a
female network anchor who is
an authority on her own. Since
we learn by example, theres no
telling where that iconic image
may lead.
And all that talk of perky vs.
gravitas? Besides the point,
Steinem said. I think she will
give us back what we havent
had since Walter Cronkite a
trusted messenger who con-
veys the human meaning of the
news.

NYC police officers
caught with Mafia
By larry Mcshane
NEW YORK Two highly decorated
former detectives were convicted Thurs-
day of moonlighting as hit men for the
mob in one of the most sensational cases
of police corruption in New York his-
tory.
Louis Eppolito, 57, and Steven Cara-
cappa, 64, could get life in prison for
their roles in eight murders committed
between 1986 and 1990 while they were
simultaneously on the payroll of both the
New York Police Department and Lu-
chese crime family under boss Anthony
Gaspipe Casso.
Federal prosecutor Daniel Wenner de-
scribed the case as the bloodiest, most
violent betrayal of the badge this city has
ever seen.
Prosecutors said the two men carried
out two hits themselves after pulling
the victims over in traffc stops and
delivered up some of the other victims to
the Mafa to be killed.
Neither defendant showed any emo-
tion during the 10 minutes it took the
jury forewoman to reply proven 70
times to the racketeering acts they were
accused of. The verdict was reached after
two days of deliberations.
The defendants $5 million bail was
revoked and they were led off to jail to
await sentencing May 22. The mens law-
yers said they would appeal.
Prosecutors said the two used their law
enforcement positions to help the Mafa
at a price of $4,000 per month more
if they personally handled a killing. They
earned $65,000 for one of those slayings,
prosecutors said.
F
ederal prosecutor Daniel
Wenner described the case
as the bloodiest, most violent
betrayal of the badge this city has
ever seen.

Before leaving for a four-game
road trip Tuesday night, Tracy
Bunge had a simple message for
the softball team.
Its crunch time.
Were at a critical point in
the season, the Kansas softball
coach said. This is the time to
get it done. If we dont get it
done in the next couple weeks,
we take ourselves out of things,
as far as the postseason.
Kansas (20-18, 1-4 Big 12)
can help its chances for its
second straight postseason ap-
pearance this weekend against
No. 18 Baylor (24-14, 4-2 Big
12).
Kansas will face Baylor twice,
at 4 p.m. on Saturday and at
noon on Sunday in Waco, Tex-
as.
The Bears are currently
riding a four-game winning
streak.
They have ended three
straight games early after fve
innings because of softballs run
rule. When a team is up by eight
runs after fve innings, the game
is called off.
Baylor pitcher Lisa Ferguson
ranks ffth in the Big 12 Confer-
ence, giving up fewer than two
runs per game. She has given up
just three runs in her past 11 in-
nings.
We have to do some dam-
age at Baylor, Bunge said. We
obviously know Baylors play-
ing well, but weve got to take
care of business the rest of the
week.
For junior pitcher Kassie
Humphreys, taking care of busi-
ness involves getting into the
postseason.
Its just coming down to
crunch time and thats where
we want our seniors to be
able to go, to regionals, and
go to postseason, and I think
thats where were really feel-
ing a little heart, Humphreys
said.

Golf is a funny game, theres
no doubt about it. One day, you
can be on top of the world with
your swing and win tournament
after tournament, but before you
know it, the hole is smaller than
the ball.
The golfng Gods have not
been smiling on the KU team
this spring. They debuted this
season with a last place fnish
in Hawaii and just recently fn-
ished in 15th place in a 16-team
feld in Santa Cruz, Calif.
But with the 70th Masters
Tournament the tournament
that defnes professional careers
this weekend in Augusta,
Ga., it will show that slumps
and disappointing performance
will happen to even the best of
golfers.
KU had a solid year in the
2004-05 campaign, just missing
out on the NCAA fnals. Coach
Ross Randall took the team to
its eighth straight NCAA Re-
gional. It won two tournaments,
fnished second in another, and
only fnished outside the top 10
once.
This season, the team won
the Kansas Invitational, which
it consistently wins every year.
But it has also fnished 15th or
worse three times. The shots
havent been as straight and the
putts just arent falling.
For the professionals, take
a look at Canadian Mike Weir.
Hes a great golfer. He won the
Masters in 2003 and he was on
top of the golfng world, but only
briefy. In the three years since
winning the most prestigious
golf tournament in the world, he
has won only one tournament.
I thought the belief was that if
you could win the Masters, you
could win anything.
Golf just isnt like that. The
swing comes and the swing goes.
But recently, Weir has been hit-
ting the ball well, and he is a
contender to win this year.
If you really want to talk about
slumps I wont say Tiger; he
was never in a slump theres
David Duval.
Duval, whos in the feld this
weekend, won a major cham-
pionship in 2001 and has not
won another tournament since.
He went into a slump and then
decided to take some time away
from the game. He once shot
an impressive round of 59. He
can be a great player again, with
practice. Hell have plenty of
time to practice after his open-
ing-round score of 84 causes
him to miss the cut.
KU golfer Tyler Docking is
a tremendous talent who has
been through the good and the
bad. Less than two years ago,
he made it to the Sweet Sixteen
of the U.S. Amateur against the
best amateurs in the world. This
year his scoring average is 77.
Golf can take any great player
and give him hell. Like I said,
its a funny game.
Docking will get his game
back to form. He has too much
talent and too good a swing to
stay down. The entire Kansas
team, too, will likely get it back.
They have some good talent in
names like Woodland, Krsnich,
Martens, Pederson, Trammell,
Rainer, Sigler, and Mundy.
As for the Masters, yes golf is
a funny game, but theres noth-
ing funny about betting against
Tiger in a major. That guy is
good.

The KU tennis team wraps
up its home season by playing
two extremes of the Big 12 this
weekend.
Kansas will play at last-place
Missouri at noon Saturday and
frst-place Baylor 11 p.m. Sun-
day. Both matches are sched-
uled to be played on Robinson
Courts.
Kansas comes into the match
against Missouri with an overall
record of 11-7 (2-4 Big 12).
Missouri has struggled. The
Tigers dwell at the bottom of the
Big 12 with a conference record
of 0-6.
Their overall record is 6-7
and they have been swept three
times.
Despite the Missouris strug-
gles, Kansas coach Amy Hall-
Holt said the Jayhawks could not
afford to overlook their rivals.
Defnitely the girls have got
to be mentally and physically
prepared, Hall-Holt said.
Baylors season is at the op-
posite end of the spectrum. The
Bears (17-3, 6-0 Big 12) are at
the top of the Big 12 in a three-
way tie for frst place in the con-
ference.
Ranked No. 8, they will be
the highest-ranked team the Jay-
hawks have faced all season.
We have the Border War
Showdown coming up, so its
always really exciting, and a
really tough one on Sunday.

Roger Kieschnick has torn
up opponents this season and
might be the toughest out for
Kansas pitchers this weekend.
It doesnt seem possible when
you consider his age: Hes only a
freshman.
Just 33 games into his col-
lege career, Ki-
eschnick leads
Texas Tech in six
offensive catego-
ries. He leads all
Big 12 hitters in
three.
Ki e s c h n i c k
said he didnt ex-
pect to have such
a breakout his
frst season.
I didnt know. I just wanted
to come out and try to con-
tribute any way I could for the
team, Kieschnick said.
Among Red Raiders, Ki-
eschnick ranks frst in batting
average (.399), hits (55), triples
(two), RBI (40), total bases (85)
and slugging percentage (.616).
In the Big 12, nobody has
more hits, RBI or total bases
than Kieschnick. He also has
the ffth-highest batting average
in the conference.
If Kieschnicks last name
sounds familiar, dont confuse
him with major league pitcher
Brooks Kieschnick, who played
at Texas.
According to Baseball Amer-
icas Will Kimmey, the two are
third cousins, but Roger wasnt
as sure.
Well, Im not real sure if Im
related to him or not. Ive nev-
er met him, Kieschnick said.
One of my family members said
we were third cousins.
With the last name, the high
school numbers (.319 bat-
ting average, six home runs,
19 RBI and eight stolen bases
as a senior) and the proxim-
ity (a Rockwall, Texas, native)
it might seem more likely he
would be punishing pitchers as
a Longhorn.
However, Kieschnick said a
lack of commitment from Texas
and other schools helped him
decide to become a Red Raider.

two World champions
slated for Gold Zone II
The Kansas Relays have
added two world champions
to their Gold Zone event,
meet director
Tim Weaver
announced
Wednesday.
Bershawn
Jackson will run
in the 110-meter
hurdles and
Ladji Doucour
will race in the
and 400-meter
hurdles. Both are 2005 World
Champions. Jackson set the
Kansas Relays record at last
years meet.
All three invitational
hurdle races bring some-
thing special to Gold Zone
II, Weaver said in a press
release. When athletes
sprint at full speed over bar-
riers as high as a backyard
fence, anything can happen.
Yes, we have world cham-
pions and heavy favorites
in these races, but I would
remind the fans that the
hurdles offer the best chance
for upsets and unpredictable
action.
Kansas sophomore Julius
Jiles will also run in the mens
invitational 400-meter hurdles,
while senior Aaron Thompson
will run in the 110-hurdles.
It was also announced
that the womens 100-meter
hurdles will feature Jenny Ad-
ams and Nichole Denby. Both
fnished in the top six at the
2004 Olympic Trials.
The Kansas Relays Gold
Zone II is set for Saturday,

While the stars of the PGA
Tour enjoy the plush accommo-
dations available at the Masters
Tournament this weekend, the
members of the Kansas mens
golf team will be just up the road
in Cary, N.C., at the Courtyard
by Marriott Intercollegiate tour-
nament, playing under some-
what less glamorous circum-
stances.
The Jayhawks will spend
nearly 11 hours on the course
Friday to com-
plete the frst
36 holes of play.
The team will
play the fnal
round early Sat-
urday morning
before returning
to Lawrence. All
of this is hap-
pening after a
full day of practice on Thursday
that began at 6 a.m.
However, if theres one thing the
team has grown accustomed to,
its a bit of hard work. After post-
ing less than satisfactory results on
several occasions this spring, the
team has had to undergo rigorous
qualifying rounds and long prac-
tices in the past few days.
Despite coming off of a disap-
pointing 15th place fnish in the
Western Intercollegiate tourna-
ment, Kansas coach Ross Ran-
dall said he was pleased with his
teams practice habits.
Were getting there. I think
this team is slowly but surely
getting better, Randall said.
The Jayhawks have struggled
to remain consistent this spring,
and coach Randall has struggled
to fnd a reliable lineup. This
weeks lineup is heavy on ex-
perience, as senior Jason Sigler
and junior Barrett Martens have
replaced younger players like
sophomore Joey Mundy and
freshman Zach Pederson.
Randall said he was hoping
his current lineup of veterans
could lend an air of consistency
to the team and guide them to
the postseason.
Were still trying to fgure
out who the top fve will be, and
because weve only got a few
weeks before the postseason
starts, hopefully this tournament
will tell us, Randall said.
The tournament will be played
at the MacGregor Downs Coun-
try Club, where the forecast calls
for warm temperatures and high
winds. The course may play in
the Jayhawks favor, though.
Its really nice out here. The
course is fairly tight, not too
long, and really sets up well for
us, Sigler said.
When the Jayhawks hit the links
Friday, they will be facing some of
the countrys top competition in
teams such as Tulsa and Duke.

duke lacrosse team
had elitist reputation
DURHAM, N.C. At Duke
University, they like to say
theres only one real fraternity
on campus: LAX, shorthand
for lacrosse.
Long before the university
was rocked by allegations that
lacrosse players raped a strip-
per during an off-campus party
March 14, Dukes highly ranked
team had a reputation for
swagger and a powerful sense
of entitlement. Now adminis-
trators are starting to wonder
whether they put up with it for
too long.
Taken as a group, is there a
special history of bad behavior
with this team? Duke Presi-
dent Richard H. Brodhead said
Wednesday in announcing the
resignation of the coach, the
cancellation of the rest of the
season and the opening of an
internal investigation.
A black stripper who was
hired to perform at a team
party has charged that three
white players choked and
raped her in a bathroom in the
early morning hours of March
14. Witnesses said she was
also taunted with racial slurs
No arrests have been made;
police are awaiting DNA test re-
sults on the team members. The
teams captains have acknowl-
edged hiring a stripper and
allowing underage drinking, but
have denied any rape occurred.
Even before the scandal,
the nearly all-white team had
come to personify an arrogant
elite on this privileged cam-
pus, a collection of Gothic-
style buildings dominating
the landscape of this working-
class city almost evenly divid-
ed between black and white.
Nearly a third of the teams 47
members have been charged
in recent years with offenses
such as disorderly conduct and
public urination.
Neighbors have described
the leased single-story white
home where the alleged attack
took place as a kind of Ani-
mal House. A rusted tin shed
out back is spray-painted with
players nicknames and jersey
numbers, and a primitive white
painting of a lacrosse player
adorns the roof.

tlemier ranks fourth in the
Big 12 Conference, giving
up fewer than two runs per
game.
Right now the team has a
great deal of what both Kassie
and Serena are doing on the
mound for us, Bunge said.
Settlemier has also been ef-
fective from the plate, where she
leads the conference in home
runs and RBI.
Kieschnick
continued from page 1a
I talked to the coaches a
little bit and they wanted me to
wait until the spring and I didnt
want to wait, Kieschnick said.
So, Texas Tech was the best
place for me.
Although the competition in
the Big 12 can be overwhelming
for freshmen, Kansas shouldnt
expect any letdown from Ki-
eschnick this weekend.
Even outside of the batters
box, Kieschnick can contribute.
He has three stolen bases in
four attempts. On defense, hes
started all 33 of Texas Techs
games in left feld and has only
one error with his 52 putouts,
two assists and .982 felding
percentage, which is the third
best on the team among regular
starters.
When considering what had
been the best part of his frst
year as a college baseball player,
he talked about the road trips he
has taken instead of statistics.
Playing at A&M, playing at
Astros stadium, Kieschnick
said, referring to trips Texas
Tech took to Texas A&M and
Minute Made Park in Houston.
Playing at all these different
places, Id never got a chance to
play before.
Tennis
continued from page 1B
If we can pull out a win
against them, that would be
really big, she said of Bay-
lor.
Kansas has a 5-3 record at
home this season. The three
losses all came against Big 12
opponents.
The weekend will also mark
the last match at home for se-
nior Christine Skoda, the only
senior on the team.
Anytime you wrap up your
home season, especially for our
senior, its an emotional time
with it being her last match on
campus, Hall-Holt said,
The matches will be moved to
First Serve if it rains.
Tennis notes:
Kansas lost 4-3 to No. 49
Nebraska on Wednesday in
Lincoln. Kansas came into the
match with a season-high six-
game winning streak. Hall-Holt
said the team played well, but
not winning the doubles point
was one of the deciding factors
in losing the match.
Sophomore Elizaveta Avde-
eva notched her 10th consecu-
tive singles victory on Wednes-
day. She is now 15-3 in singles
competition this spring.

PHOENIX The guessing
game regarding Amare Stou-
demires return fnally is over.
The Phoenix Suns All-Star for-
ward will not play again this
season.
Stoudemire underwent ar-
throscopic surgery Wednesday
on his right knee, a procedure to
remove debris that had built up
as he rehabilitated his left knee
following surgery before the sea-
son began.
A few hours after the latest
operation, the Suns were listless
in a 119-105 home loss to the
Los Angeles Clippers.
Instead of welcoming their
big forward back for a possible
run at an NBA title, the Suns
will have to make do with a
small lineup that without
injured center Kurt Thomas
has seen its defense disin-
tegrate.
To make matters worse
Wednesday, the Suns normally
high-scoring offense slowed to
a crawl.
We will just have to fnd
some energy and go ahead,
Phoenix coach Mike DAntoni
said.
Stoudemires operation fol-
lowed a comeback that lasted
three games. He missed the frst
66 games of the season after sur-
gery on his left knee.
Stoudemires surgery Oct.
11 came a week after he signed
a fve-year contract extension
worth more than $70 million. He
returned to the lineup March 23,
scoring 20 points in 19 minutes
against Portland. But his produc-
tion dropped dramatically in his
next two games, and Stoudemires
mobility was a problem. He
missed the next four games before
deciding on arthroscopic surgery.
DAntoni said he wouldnt sec-
ond-guess the decision to have
Stoudemire return less than six
months after surgery.
There was no risk of him
re-injuring his knee, DAntoni
said.

PHILADELPHIA Jimmy Rol-
lins watched the fnal out with his
bat in his hands, turned and walked
down the steps of the dugout.
He was more disappointed over
Philadelphias third straight loss
than the end of his 38-game hitting
streak.
Rollins went 0-for-4, snapping a
hitting streak that stretched over two
seasons, and the Phillies lost 4-2 to
the St. Louis Cardinals on Thurs-
day.
I said Id trade a hit for a win,
Rollins said. Unfortunately it didnt
happen.
After fnishing with a 36-game hit-
ting streak last year, Rollins kept up
his pursuit of Joe DiMaggios major
league record 56-game streak with
hits in his frst two games this sea-
son.
But he was hitless in three tries
against Jason Marquis hes 3-for-
25 against him and one at-bat
against Josh Hancock. Rollins fied
out to right feld (frst inning), left
feld (ffth) and center feld (sev-
enth), and was retired trying to bunt
for a single in the third.
Rollins was the ffth batter due up
in the ninth, but Jason Isringhausen
retired the side in order, getting Mike
Lieberthal to ground out to third
base for the fnal out.
The thing I like best is we went
after him every time the whole se-
ries, said Cardinals manager Tony
La Russa, who signaled for a strike
before Rollins doubled against Adam
Wainwright on a 3-0 pitch with the
streak on the line in the eighth in-
ning of Mondays opener. He didnt
walk one time.
Rollins season-ending 36-game
hitting streak was the ninth-longest
over one season in big league his-
tory, and the longest in the majors
since 1987, when Paul Molitor hit
safely in 39 consecutive games. The
38-game streak is the eighth-longest
overall.
A three-time All-Star shortstop,
Rollins pursuit of DiMaggios 65-
year-old record had a catch. DiMag-
gio accomplished his feat in the same
season in 1941. The major league
marks for longest hitting streak in
one season and longest hitting streak
spanning two seasons are separate
records.
DiMaggio holds both with his 56-
game streak, but there is a difference
in the NL records: Pete Rose (1978)
and Willie Keeler (1897) share the
NL mark at 44 games. However,
Keeler got a hit in his fnal game of
1896, so his run of 45 games overall
was the frst record Rollins couldve
eclipsed.
The old Phillies franchise record
of 31 was set by Ed Delahanty in
1899.
I appreciated it from the time
I knew about it, Rollins said of
DiMaggios record. Thats a large
number.
Marquis (1-0) pitched 5 1-3 effec-
tive innings and had an RBI double,
Jim Edmonds singled in the go-ahead
run in a four-run ffth inning and the
Cardinals swept a three-game se-
ries in Philadelphia for the frst time
since 1986.
Philadelphia hadnt started 0-3
since losing the frst three games in
Arizona in 2000. The Phillies last 0-
3 start at home came in 1982 with
one loss to the New York Mets and
two against Montreal.
Every day you lose is disappoint-
ing, Phillies manager Charlie Man-
uel said. When you start the season
and lose the frst three, you have to
regroup and play better.
Marquis gave up two runs and fve
hits. An NL Silver Slugger Award
winner last year, Marquis got the
Cardinals going in the ffth with a
run-scoring double off Cory Lidle
that cut the defcit to 2-1.
After David Eckstein popped up a
bunt, Juan Encarnacion reached on
third baseman David Bells felding
error. Albert Pujols, Edmonds and
Scott Rolen followed with consecu-
tive RBI singles to give the Cardinals
a 4-2 lead.
I enjoy hitting and anything I can
do to help win the game helps the
team, Marquis said.
Lidle (0-1) escaped a bases-loaded
jam in the third by striking out Ed-
monds to end the inning. He retired
the side in order with two strikeouts
in the fourth, but ran into trouble
when he hit Aaron Miles to start the
ffth and Marquis followed with his
hit.
Lidle allowed four runs three
earned and six hits in fve in-
nings.

Jason Bohn reacts to a missed birdie putt on the 18th
hole during frst round play of the Masters golf tourna-
ment at the Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Ga.,
Thursday.
Singh takes early
lead at Masters
By doug FeRguson
AUGUSTA, Ga. In his offce overlooking a
super-sized golf course, Masters chairman Hootie
Johnson must have been smiling.
For all the dread that the latest changes to Au-
gusta National went over the top, the Masters had
a familiar look Thursday, starting with Vijay Singh
atop the leaderboard.
The former Masters champion fred off three
straight birdies on the back nine for a 5-under 67,
his best start in this tournament and a round he
felt was long overdue.
There was a surprise, as always, in Rocco Me-
diate (68), and another strong debut by a Masters
rookie, this time from Arron Oberholser (69). For
sentimental value, look no further than 54-year-
old Ben Crenshaw, whose short game carried him
to a 71, his best round on this course since he
closed with a 68 to win his second green jacket
11 years ago.
Tiger Woods had to settle for a 72, no change
there since he has never broken 70 in the frst
round.
This is probably one of the better rounds Ive
played out here, Singh said.
St. Louis Cardinals Aaron Miles slides under Philadelphia Phillies second baseman Chase Utley with a steal in the 8th inning Thurs-

Idol judge assaulted,
still appears on show
LOS ANGELES American
Idol judge Paula Abdul said
that a man as-
saulted her at
a private party
over the week-
end, accord-
ing to a police
report.
On Tuesday,
Abdul led a
report at the
Hollywood
station claim-
ing she had been a victim of
battery about 1 a.m. Sunday,
police Lt. Paul Vernon said
Thursday.
According to Abdul, the
man at the party argued with
her, grabbed her by the arm
and threw her against a wall,
Vernon said. She said she had
sustained a concussion and
spinal injuries.
Abdul, who shares judging
duties on Foxs hit talent show
with Simon Cowell and Randy
Jackson, appeared as sched-
uled on this weeks American
Idol.
Abdul provided police with
the name of the man, but
Vernon withheld it pending
further investigation. The man
has not been charged, Vernon
said.
Abduls publicist Michelle
Bega declined to comment.
The incident was rst reported
by Us Weekly magazine.
Last week, she signed a
deal to remain on the show for
another three years.

LOS ANGE-
LES It was
a dream come
true for a fan
of Motley Crue.
For one night,
he lled in for
injured drum-
mer Tommy
Lee.
The lucky
guy, Harvey Warren, per-
formed with the rock band
Wednesday at the Enmax
Center in Red Deer, Alberta,
Canada, Motley Crues publi-
cist, Dvora Vener Engleeld,
said in a statement.
After playing multiple
shows wearing a brace and
taking anti-inammatory
injections, Tommy Lees doc-
tor instructed him to give his
injured right-hand wrist a
break after his tendinitis made
it difcult for him to perform,
Engleeld said.
Warren, a Calgary resident
who manages a Starbucks by
day, moonlights as a drummer
in the Canadian Motley Crue
tribute band Broken Toyz.
Lee, 43, hopes to return
for a concert Friday in Prince
George, Engleeld said. There
are six dates left on the tour.

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. Rus-
sell Simmons and his wife,
Kimora Lee, have announced
their separation, but they plan
to host a fundraiser Saturday
at Donald Trumps estate in
West Palm Beach.
The dinner and auction at
Mar-a-Lago will benet Art for
Life, which Simmons and his
brothers founded. The 48-year-
old hip-hop mogul has called
on celebrity friends to attend
the $1,000-a-person event.
This will be the best party
Mar-a-Lago has ever seen,
Simmons said Wednesday
while sitting pool side at the
Delano hotel. I have to tell Ki-
mora to bring one of my suits.
Jamie Foxx, Antonio L.A.
Reid and Denise Rich will be
honored for their philanthropic
efforts to promote art among
the youth.
Others expected to attend
include Donald and Melania
Trump, Venus and Serena Wil-
liams and Kelly Rowland.
Up for bid will be items such
as a trip to the Bahamas for
20 people on a chartered jet,
couture gowns and top-of-the-
line beauty products.
Last year my wife got a
Rolls-Royce, Simmons said.
The pair will meet with
about 200 students from the
Boys & Girls Club on Sunday.
They will take part in a ques-
tion-and-answer session and
discuss how art can inuence
lives.
Simmons and Kimora Lee
recently announced they were
splitting after seven years
of marriage. They have two
young daughters. In a state-
ment issued by the couple,
they said they had been sepa-
rated for some time, even
though they were still living
together.

Offense:
Texas Tech does it all on offense. It ranked 3rd in the Big 12
with a .330 team batting average. The Red Raiders have by far
the most runs scored in the Big 12 with 263. Only Nebraska
and Kansas have hit more home runs than Texas Techs 32,
and its 45 stolen bases are fourth in the conference. Texas Tech
also has plate discipline, leading the Big 12 with 158 walks.
Freshman outfelder Roger Kieschnick leads the Red Raiders
with a .399 batting average, 55 hits, 40 RBI and a .616 slug-
ging percentage. Hes second on the team with 33 runs and
third with fve home runs.
Defense:
Texas Tech pitchers only wish their defense
would give them as much support as their offense.
No Big 12 team has committed more errors than
Texas Techs 47 and it is second to last with a .963
felding percentage. Red Raider catchers have
thrown out potential base stealers only 23 percent of the time,
which is next-to-worst in the Big 12. With only 19 double plays
turned also worst in the Big 12 Texas Tech pitchers are
having to get out of jams one out at a time. With 268 strike-
outs, the Red Raiders lead the Big 12, but their 4.33 team ERA
is fourth worst in the conference.
Coaches:
Big 12 coaches predicted Texas
Tech to fnish in a tie with Kansas
for eighth in the conference, but
coach Larry Hays has the team in
a three-way tie for fourth with
Oklahoma State and Oklahoma.
The Red Raiders are 15-4 at
home, but only 7-7 in games out-
side of Lubbock, Texas. Hays is in
his 20th season as head coach
of the Red Raiders and would
probably be the frst to admit
that the team must bring its
pitching and defense up to the
level of its hitting and play more
consistently away from home if
it wants to be successful in the
Big 12.
Shawn Shroyer
Offense:
Kansas, ranked No. 24 by Baseball America, continues
to bring a hot and cold offense to the table. On Wednesday,
Wichita State held Kansas to fve hits and no runs. The Jay-
hawks scored eight runs on the Shockers only a week earlier.
The Jayhawks 33 team home runs ties the Cornhuskers for
the most in the Big 12 Conference. But with their team bat-
ting average falling below .300, the Jayhawks are sitting in
seventh place in the Big 12. Senior center felder Matt Baty
returned to the feld on Wednesday. Baty will step back into
the lineup in his typical leadoff spot. He led Kansas last year
with 75 hits.
Defense:
The numbers dont paint a clear picture for the effective-
ness of the KU defense this season. The Jayhawks lead the Big
12 in stolen bases allowed (47) and passed balls (12). They are,
however, a solid defensive club to watch. Sophomore second
baseman Ryne Price returned to the lineup last
weekend against Missouri. He mentioned his
wrist being sore afterward. Price did not play
against Wichita State on Wednesday. Kan-
sas coach Ritch Price said after the game
that it was just precautionary and that Ryne
could have played if needed. Having Price
back on the feld sets up a nearly fawless
double play combination with Rynes brother
Ritchie on the feld, too.
Coaches:
Kansas has played 14 consec-
utive games against a ranked
opponent and is still hanging
on with 20 victories and an
almost .500 conference record. The Jayhawks
even jumped back onto the Baseball America
poll at No. 24 using players off the bench
to replace Baty and Price while they
were injured.

Around the Big 12
By AlissA BAuer
abauer@kansan.com n kansan sportswriter
AT A glAnce:
Kansas (20-12, 4-5 Big 12 Con-
ference) is fnally a complete
team again after senior center
felder Matt Baty and sopho-
more second baseman Ryne
Price returned to the lineup
last week. As a bonus, the
team is done with the tough-
est part of its schedule and
now is solely focused on gain-
ing ground in the Big 12.
lAsT Time ouT:
The Jayhawks traveled to
Wichita on Wednesday night
and fell to the Shockers, 4-0. The
highly-charged Wichita State
fans greeted the Kansas players.
Although the Kansas pitchers al-
lowed only six hits, two of them
were home runs to Wichita State
third baseman Conor Gillaspie.
PlAyer To wATcH:
John Allman. Despite not get-
ting a hit against Wichita State,
the sophomore left felder has
done extensive
damage to op-
posing pitch-
ers. Kansas
coach Ritch
Price tried
to shake his
lineup around
earlier in the
season. Price
moved All-
man to the six
and seven holes to put him
in a spot to see more favor-
able pitches to hit. It worked.
Allman has hit .500 in the past
fve games with four RBI.
5 QuicK FAcTs:
17 The number of consecu-
tive games Kansas has played
against a ranked opponent,
including No. 26 Texas Tech
this weekend.
3 The Big 12 Conferences
RPI as a league.
10 The number of saves this
season for senior closer Don
Czyz, good for frst in the Big 12.
33 The number of KU
home runs this season, tying
Nebraska for the highest in
the Big 12.
2 The number of at-bats
senior center felder Matt Baty
needed to get his frst hit after
18 games on the disabled list.
looKing ForwArd:
The Jayhawks have to fnd
their rhythm on offense. Last
weekend, Kansas took two
games from then-Big 12 leader
Missouri. But in the frst game
against the Tigers, the Jay-
hawks scraped together only
three hits and no runs. Kansas
has to be more consistent if it
wants to make a serious run
during Big 12 play.
Key To vicTory:
Hit the ball. Despite having
a higher team ERA, Texas
Tech pitchers have collected
90 more strikeouts than the
Kansas staff. Kansas batters
have also struck out 63 more
times than the Red Raiders. If
the Jayhawks bring their bats
tonight and for the weekend,
they have a good chance at
taking the series.
AT A glAnce:
Over its past 11 games, Texas
Tech is 6-5, including a series
split against Texas, a series
loss to Texas A&M and a series
victory against Baylor. This
weekend, Texas Tech (22-11, 4-4
in the Big 12) will try to win
back-to-back Big 12 series for
the frst time since May 2004.
lAsT Time ouT:
Texas Tech lost 9-4 to New
Mexico State Tuesday. The
Red Raiders committed three
errors, allowing fve unearned
runs to cross the plate to put
the game out of reach. Texas
Tech senior infelder Joey
Callender went 3-for-4 with a
walk, a run, an RBI and two
stolen bases.
PlAyer To wATcH:
Roger Kieschnick. The fresh-
man outfelder leads the Big
12 with 55 hits, 40 RBI and 85
total bases. His
.399 overall
batting average
is ffth best in
the conference.
In eight Big 12
games, hes
batting .433
with 13 hits,
nine runs, two
home runs, 11
RBI and a .767
slugging percentage.
5 QuicK FAcTs:
.5 The number of games
separating Texas Tech (4-4)
and Kansas (4-5) in the Big 12
standings.
1 The number of games
Texas Tech has lost when
scoring at least six runs this
season. The Red Raiders are
19-1 overall in such games.
9 Games in Kieschnicks cur-
rent hitting streak. His longest
this season was 13 games.
19 The number of times
Texas Tech has defeated
Kansas in 26 Big 12 meetings,
nine of which have come in
Lawrence.
263 The number of runs
Texas Tech has scored in 33
games. Oklahoma is next in
the Big 12 with 231 runs in 31
games.
looKing ForwArd:
With Texas and Baylor out
of the way, a series victory
against Kansas could make
Texas Tech a mainstay in the
heart of the Big 12. Nebraska
and Missouri are the only
teams left on Texas Techs
schedule that currently have
winning conference records.
Key To vicTory:
Kansas has allowed runners to
swipe 47 bases, so Texas Tech
should have no problem pres-
suring the defense by adding
to its 45 stolen bases. The Red
Raider pitching staff, with 268
strikeouts, must exploit a free-
swinging Jayhawk lineup that
has struck out 239 times. When
Kansas puts the ball in play,
though, Texas Tech cant afford
to add to its 47 errors.
No. 9 Texas (21-11, 6-2) at Kansas State (21-5, 2-4)
The Wildcats have not won a series against the Longhorns since
1998. The last time the two faced off in Manhattan, they played a
20-inning game, the longest in Texas baseball history. Texas right-
hander Kyle McColloch (3-4, 3.12) will face undefeated Kansas State
pitcher Brad Hutt (5-0, 3.43) tonight. Although McColloch comes
in with a losing record, he is fourth on this seasons Big 12 Confer-
ence strikeout list with 48 in 57.2 innings. Last Sunday, the Long-
horns hit fve home runs against No. 28 Oklahoma. Kansas State
outfelder Joe Roundy leads the Big 12 with a .474 batting average.
No. 6 Nebraska (21-5, 4-2) at Missouri (16-11, 6-3)
Missouri leads the all-time series between the two, 135-105-1.
However, Nebraska took four of the fve match-ups last season.
In the last 11 meetings, nine of them were decided by two runs
or fewer. Nebraska right-hander Joba Chamberlain (3-2, 2.70)
will take on Missouri lefty Nathan Culp (6-2, 1.98) tonight. Culp
threw a three-hit shutout against Kansas last weekend. It will
make for an interesting match-up between Culp and Nebraskas
Brandon Buckman, who hit a pair of home runs against Creigh-
ton on Tuesday.
No. 28 Oklahoma (22-9, 3-3) at Texas A&M (18-14, 2-7)
Oklahoma barely leads the series 26-24. Neither team is play-
ing impressive baseball at the moment. While Texas A&M is on
a four-game losing streak, Oklahoma has won just two of its last
fve games. The trip to College Station, Texas, will mark the frst
one for the Sooners this season. Texas A&M catcher Josh Stin-
son leads the Aggies with 16 RBI. Lately, Oklahoma left felder
Kody Kaiser has been productive offensively. Kaiser is hitting
.500 with 10 hits and two triples in the Sooners past six games.
