Patrol hinders drunken driving

Rachel Davis had blacked out when she left her residence hall room and drove drunk to an ATM on Nov. 4. Davis, Knoxville, Iowa, freshman, said her friends told her she crashed into a vehicle, fled the scene and never reported the accident to police. Someone recorded her license plate and called police, she said. The police officers contacted her parents, and she was charged

with operating under the influence, failure to report an accident and leaving the scene. Since the accident, Davis has withdrawn from her classes and returned to Iowa to work to pay off her $6,500 in student loans, she said. She doesnt know how much she will have to pay in fines, but she knows it wont be cheap. Lawrence police didnt catch Davis the night of Nov. 4, but that same night, they handed out five OUIs, 18 moving violations, 38 speeding tickets, two seat-belt violations and one open-container violation during their saturation

A $2.2 million federal grant from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration allowed the city to form a new traffic unit in October 2002. The unit consists of seven vehicles,

six officers and one sergeant, who conduct the saturation patrols and check lanes. Sgt. Dan Ward of the Lawrence Police Department said officers would also set up a sobriety check lane about 11 tonight in Lawrence. The departments new Blood Alcohol Testing van will be there to ease the procedure of testing potentially impaired drivers, he said. Traffic enforcement will continue from Nov. 21 to Nov. 27. Lt. Doug Woods of the Douglas County Sheriffs Office said the office would place addi-

tional officers on the roads and highways during Thanksgiving week. Officers will look specifically for people not wearing seat belts and impaired drivers. Last year, 459 people were killed in traffic crashes in Kansas. Woods said 116 of those deaths were alcohol related. In Kansas, a person involved in a car accident has a 23percent chance of being injured or killed. A persons chance of injury or death increases to 46 percent when a car accident involves alcohol.

Despite filing two separate reports outlining NCAA violations in the last six months and sophomore guard Darnell Jacksons nine-game suspension from the Kansas mens basketball team, the Kansas Athletics Department is not concerned about the negative light cast on its athletic programs. This negative publicity does not include the Moon Bar incident involving former mens basketball player J.R. Giddens or the sexual harassment lawsuit filed against softball coach Tracy Bunge, because those incidents did not involve the NCAA. Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony said the Athletics Department dealt with the possible NCAA violations the right way. I think it would concern us if we hadnt handled it properly, Marchiony said. Weve handled the process as well as it can be handled. I think the NCAA appreciates that. In an effort to curb future violations, every student athlete and coach meets with university compliance staff on a yearly basis to review NCAA rules. Marchiony said if those meetings were not held, the number of incidents would be astronomical and would present more problems for the Athletics Department. Despite the rules education, secondary violations are not uncommon for college athletic programs. The NCAA would tell you every school has secondary violations, Marchiony said. Kansas is not the only Big 12 Conference school to report NCAA violations over the last several years. Earlier this year, Baylors mens basketball program was barred from playing nonconference games this season after the NCAA found unethical conduct by former coach Dave Bliss. He was found to have paid the tuition of players on his team. Rules violations, including improper extra benefits, were found at Missouri in 2004 prompting the mens basketball Todays weather

program to be placed on three years of probation. Colorados football program was placed on two-year probation in 2002 after the NCAA found the school provided clothing and excessive reimbursement of travel expenses for recruits. The Athletics Department self-reported numerous secondary violations to the NCAA this summer, by several sports programs, including the football and mens and womens basketball programs. According to NCAA rules, lack of rules education is part of the criteria for determining if a university is found to have a lack of institutional control. The lack of institutional control label is among the worst a university can get from the NCAA. The criteria also includes a pattern of secondary violations, failure to report violations in a timely manner and lack of action if a university knows about possible violations. With several violations reported in the last six months, Marchiony said the NCAA would decide if Kansas could receive the lack-of-institutionalcontrol tag. I certainly dont think there is a lack of institutional control, Marchiony said. I think youd see this with how we handled it. Marchiony said he has yet to hear word on the status of the NCAA investigation into the self report from this summer. An NCAA spokesperson declined to comment on the status of Kansas report and said there was no timetable for the completion of the investigation. Edited by Patrick Ross

Disgruntled faculty members and graduate students met with the dean of libraries in an impromptu meeting Thursday to voice a wide range of complaints concerning researching in the libraries. Nearly 100 faculty members, library staff and a few graduate students mostly from the humanities departments attended

the meeting. Stella Bentley, dean of libraries, called the meeting Monday after receiving a letter in the form of a position paper from the English department. The complaints at the meeting centered on some serial journals being cut, concerns over the new library storage facility being constructed on West Campus, computer space being used by students surfing the Internet

Try fitting more than 300 band members in one performance hall and directing everyones movements as they fill the stage, aisles and any other free space, and you have the KU music and dance departments first ever Band Spectacular. This program, which serves as a way to raise money for the department, would be a logistical conundrum for anyone unfamiliar, or familiar for that matter, with how to direct a band.

and in the aisles. The audience will be in the middle of the sound and it will be very visually attractive. The event is the brainchild of band director John Lynch in an effort to raise funds for more music scholarships. Lynch said this was key to accomplishing his goal of becoming one of the top five music programs in the nation. There are not enough scholarships to go around and in order to be competitive we have to offer more, Lynch said. Everyone realizes this is important. Knopps described the program as something like a sampler platter of the instrumental music department.

Get ready for the

Ethics necessary for career

By GaBy Souza

editor@kansan.com
Its the weekend before Thanksgiving, and we find ourselves wanting to kick back and relax. Fortunately, Student Union Activities is giving all KU students the opportunity to see, for the first time or again, one of last summers biggest movies, Mr. & Mrs. Smith. Mr. & Mrs. Smith stars Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Despite all the drama surrounding the film, such as reports like Pitt leaving his wife Jennifer Aniston for Jolie, the movie is enjoyable. Mr. & Mrs. Smith lives up to the expectations. Pitt and Jolie star as the Smiths, a married couple who begin to grow distant after years of marriage. Neither knows the other works as an assassin, until they are assigned to kill one another. Pitt and Jolie give outstanding performances in this action comedy, which has proven to be

a hit. It marks the third film for director Doug Liman, known for his films Swingers and Made. Liman, as expected, cashes in on funny man Vince Vaughns recent success, Swingers, as Pitts friend Eddie. Between the charismatic Pitt, the sexy Jolie and the comedic Vaughn, there is something in this film for everyone. Mr. & Mrs. Smith hit theaters last June, and opened at No. 1 earning $186,267,775 as of Nov. 6. SUA will show the film at 7 and 9:30 tonight at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union. Tickets are free with a SUA movie card, or $2 without one. The film is one of the great action comedies to come in recent years and is definitely worth checking out. Even if youve seen the film already, it is worth seeing twice if you find yourself with nothing to do. Enjoy the show.

The North has demanded that it be given a light-water reactor a type less easily diverted for weapons use in exchange for disarming. U.S. officials once rejected the idea outright and argued North Korea could not be trusted with any nuclear program, but now have left the door open as long as Pyongyang isnt given a reactor as an incentive but only as a reward after it has eliminated nuclear weapons programs.

Business and philosophy combine to provide services

Joe Reitz, professor in the School of Business, thinks that in order to have a rewarding career and to lead a fulfilling life, a person must be ethical. That is why he co-founded the International Center for Ethics in Business. Reitz and Richard T. De George, University Distinguished Professor of Philosophy, started the center in 1991. Its focus is to promote ethical thinking in every area of business, and to encourage considering the ethical implications of everyday decisions. People dont realize the ethical implications of their decisions until its too late, Reitz said. Reitz started an ethics center at Georgia Tech University, where he previously taught.

De George

Reitz

When he joined the University of Kansas faculty in 1988, he approached De George with the idea of starting another. De George had authored a textbook in business ethics. The two used private funding to start the center and it still functions through donations. Business ethics is as big an issue as it was when the center first started, De George said. Issues such as the Westar scandal continue to show just how important instruction in ethics is, he said. The center is working on sponsoring an ethics class for

students in the business school. Business students are not required to take an ethics class in order to graduate. The center has sponsored workshops for professors that help them incorporate ethics into their classes. The center director hopes to host another workshop in May 2006. The center also hosts the Sutton Lecture Series, which brings ethics lecturers to the University. Plans to start an International Business Ethics Seminar Series to provide outreach about ethics issues are in the works. Many companies have written ethics codes for its employees. Larger corporations have ethics advisers who help the employees make appropriate decisions, De George said. Steve Hillmer, professor of statistics in the School of Business, found the information he received in the workshops helpful, and took it back to all of his classes. Some of the issues regarding ethics in statistics have to do with how data can be used in an ethical, moral way, Hillmer said.

De George, University Distinguished Professor of Philosophy, started the center in 1991. Its focus is to promote ethical thinking in every area of business, and to encourage considering the ethical implications of everyday decisions.
For example, if data is needed to support a decision, the question of whether the data is being used to find the truth or to reinforce a preconceived notion must be asked. The material from the ethics center helps students to understand what is moral in this situation. Its important to understand the bigger picture, Hillmer said. And ethics is part of that.

Woodwards testimony helps Libbys defense

WASHINGTON Bob Woodwards version of when and where he learned the identity of a CIA operative contradicts a special prosecutors contention that Vice President Dick Cheneys top aide was the first to make the disclosure to reporters. Attorneys for the aide, I. Lewis Scooter Libby, described Wednesdays statement by the Washington Posts assistant managing editor as helpful for their defense, although Libby is charged with lying to a grand jury and the FBI, not with disclosing the CIA officials name. Hopefully, as information is obtained from reporters like Bob Woodward, the real facts will come out, lawyer Ted Wells said Wednesday. Woodward, a Pulitzer Prize winning reporter, said he had not told his bosses until last month that he had learned about Valerie Plames identity and her work at the CIA more than two years ago from a high-level Bush administration official. When Woodward learned Plames name, he told The Associated Press Wednesday, he was in the middle of finishing a book about the administrations decision to go to war in Iraq, and didnt want to be subpoenaed to testify.

Tom Boxberger, KU Recycling warehouse manager, works 40 hours a week processing cardboard, shredded paper, chip board and plastic bags collected from campus. During the school year, I spend 98 percent of my time working here at the warehouse, Boxberger said. I do need some relief. No doubt about it. To give Boxberger relief and to expand recycling services across campus, KU Recycling will purchase a new and improved horizontal baler a machine that compacts recyclable material into dense bales with a $66,782 grant from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment. Jeff Severin, KU Environmental Services Manager, said KU Recycling had reached its capacity for bailing material with its current technology, which led him to apply for the grant. KU Recyclings current baler must be hand loaded by Boxberger. To get a good bale, he must pay close attention to what

he puts in the baler, especially when hes loading cardboard. A lot of pieces are too big, he said. I have to cut or fold them to fit them into the bins. The old baler will be used for plastic bottles and aluminum cans while the new one will mostly bale cardboard, with the ability to produce larger bales. Severin said the cardboard bales weighed about 600 pounds; but with the new baler, they will weigh twice as much around 1,200 lbs. Heavier bales helped transportation, he said. Severin said loading heavier, more compact bales onto a truck would allow the drivers to bring them directly to a recycling mill instead of to a recycling plant where they would be made compact enough to recycle. With bigger bales produced more often, KU Recycling will make more money that is fed back into the system. The money will go toward the purchase of additional collection containers around campus. Severin said KU Recycling was currently in the middle of a waste audit project across campus to find the locations with lots of cardboard

inside nearby dumpsters. Were going to be adding containers at those buildings, he said. We could probably put a container in every building on campus if we had the money or space to do it, but space on campus is limited. Severin said that information was not compiled yet. KU Recycling expects to collect and compact 10 percent more cardboard and five percent more newspaper, plastic, aluminum and other papers. Severin said KU Recycling wanted to educate faculty, staff and outside contractors regarding its cardboard recycling service because many people were unaware of it. Many dumpsters are filled with bulky cardboard boxes, causing an unnecessary need for additional waste collection services, Severin said. He said increasing cardboard recycling would eliminate some of those collections and reduce waste. Recycling is a constant education process, Severin said. We always try to teach people what they can recycle and how they can do it. Edited by Jayme Wiley

OVERLAND PARK With a 4.1 GPA and recognition from the National Honor Society, Sonia Arora is exceeding Blue Valley West High Schools high expectations for the junior class. Her school, which looks out on the green-grey pastures and beige townhouses that ring Kansas City, regularly sends its graduates to some of the nations most selective colleges. But since the State Board of Education voted last week that public schools should treat evolution as a flawed scientific theory, Arora has started worrying that going to high school in Kansas could be a liability when she applies to college next fall. I can separate science and religion just fine. I mean, Im Hindu and we have our own creation story. I believe in evolution, too, said Arora, 16, who dreams of pursuing a science degree at the University of California, Berkeley. Its just that now I dont know if colleges will think I know the difference. On Nov. 8 Kansas became the only state to adopt educational standards that challenge key aspects of evolutionary theory. And at a time when the definition of science is being debated in classrooms and courtrooms across the country, parents and teachers are struggling to understand the decisions long-term impact on Kansas school children. There simply is no precedent for having something this controversial be approved at a state level, said Kathy Christie, a spokeswoman at the Education Commission of the States, a nonprofit that advises politicians about education policy. My guess is it will have far more implications for Kansas becoming a laughingstock. The new guidelines, which were in part drafted by advocates of intelligent design, defy mainstream sciences view of evolution as well-established, and instead express doubt about evolutionary theory. People all across the world are questioning whether Kansas has a true commitment to scientific methods and basic modern biology. It has already made it more difficult to recruit faculty and top graduate students to our biological science programs, Chancellor Robert Hemenway said. College admissions officers suggest the boards decision wont work against Kansas students.

Immigrant felonies up
By Carl Manning
the associated press

TOPEKA Hardly a day passes without illegal immigrants, mainly from Mexico, arriving in Kansas hoping to do better than they had back home. If lucky, theyll blend into the states growing Hispanic population, find work, prosper and live unnoticed by authorities. Others, however, get caught for a crime, find themselves behind bars and later deported. Still others come back, get caught and face felony charges for simply being here again. These days, the chances of illegal immigrants returning and being caught in Kansas are greater because federal prosecutors increasingly are focused on those re-entering the United States. Brent Anderson, an assistant U.S. attorney in Kansas, said such cases wouldnt have been a priority for prosecution in the past, but the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks changed that. As a result of 9-11, one of the things the government has to do is be on the lookout for dangerous people who arent supposed to be in the United States, he

said. We focus on these cases more than we have before because of national security implications. So far this year, 90 people have been prosecuted in federal felony cases in Kansas where the most serious offense was a criminal immigration violation, mainly illegal re-entry. Anderson said this year would exceed last years total of 109, an 18.4 percent increase over 2003. In 1994, there were only five such prosecutions in Kansas. This is going to increase as years go by and there is no way around it, he said. Every day there are more and more illegal aliens in the state. Nationally, 18,525 people were charged with some immigration violation last year, a 12.8 percent increase over 2003, according to the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts. Being caught for the first time illegally in the United States is a misdemeanor. If immigration officials get involved, immigrants often agree to return home. They also can ask for a civil hearing before immigration officials but Anderson said they rarely were allowed to stay.

1a rather than doing research, and what some called poorly trained front desk employees. The hour-and-a-half meeting held at the Centennial Room in the Kansas Union grew heated at times. When Janet Sharistanian, associate professor of English, said: This is a Research One University, and it is behaving as if it is a community college. Several people broke into applause and one faculty member shouted Amen. Bentley countered some of the complaints, saying that, while many serial journals have recently been cut because of rising prices, the libraries have seen an overall increase of 9,000 journals in the past three years. She admitted that the libraries had problems in other areas, including desk attendants who are often unable to answer researchers questions. She said the libraries were just beginning to look at changing training considerably. Some raised concerns over the hundreds of thousands of library materials that will be moved to the new storage facility on West Campus, which is set to be completed in April. Storage materials will not be browsable by researchers; librarians will retrieve them upon request. Bentley said that when people ask for materials from the 200,000 that are now kept in various storage facilities, requests are usually filled within 24 hours, and she expected a similarly quick response after the new storage facility was completed. Others complained that more library

computers needed to be reserved for serious research and searching the library catalogue, saying that many computers were used by students wasting time playing games between class, using www.facebook.com and even looking at pornography. It seems to me we ought to be able to reserve an adequate number of computers for those that wish to perform legitimate library inquiries at a given time, James Carothers, professor of English, said after the meeting. Bentley agreed that computers should be used for academic purposes, but said it would be nearly impossible for library staff members to monitor what Web sites people visited. Bill Tsutsui, associate professor of history, said many of the problems that brought about the meeting could have been avoided if faculty members had a better dialogue with library staff. He and other professors suggested a faculty liaison council, which would be made up of representatives from across University departments and would advise library staff administrators on a regular basis. Tsutsui said hed like to see the council created before Bentley retires from the libraries at the end of the school year. The fact that no consultation beforehand took place is causing some frustration among the faculty, Tsutsui said after the meeting. Bentley said she would look into creating a faculty advisory council, and that he would be interested in the possibility of a student advisory council. Edited by Erick R.

Lynch hopes that the program will bring in more than 500 people and bring in more than $3,000. Goals Lynch has already achieved for the program include taking the bands on more international excursions (the Marching Jayhawks are going to Ireland this Spring) and putting out a professional recording, which the band did recently. The recording was picked up by the Naxos record label. He would also like to increase the number of Marching Jayhawks (now at 190) to 300 within two years. Edited by Jayme Wiley

Competition does not show true beauty

On Nov. 26, our state will hold its Miss Kansas competition and will crown the next woman to represent the state for the next year. But how much of this competition is actual skill, rather than blunt sex appeal? There are three parts of the competition: swimsuit, evening gown and an interview. That means that personality counts for 1/3 of the competition. The director of Miss Kansas USA said there are ve judges, and each judge gets four minutes to question each of the 30 contestants in the pageant. Now, honestly, how much is a judge going to know about ones personality in four minutes? I have had many four-minute

JOEL SIMONE

conversations and havent found out much more than a persons name, age and where they come from. It takes more than four minutes, a night or even a week to nd out a persons personality. And even after you think you really know someone, she could still do things that catch you off guard. Even if the judges were to ask meaningful questions, how hard would it be to lie for four min-

utes to someone who has never met you? I would have each judge thinking I spent the last six months rescuing orphans in Zimbabwe. By using these specic criteria to select a representative of Kansas, this competition is trying to dene what beauty is. Beauty is the hardest word in the English language to dene, because it means something different to everyone. If you ask anyone on campus to list the 12 most attractive women on campus, each person is going to give you a different combination of women. Hence, the 12 hottest women on campus are not necessarily the ones photographed in the Women of

KU calendar or signed up for the Miss Kansas competition. That was the opinion of the judges of those particular competitions. Those girls t the judges ideals of beauty. Last week, while taking my daily stroll to class, I saw a girl with blue hair. My rst reaction was, Oh, Lord. I was shocked, but after thinking about it, I realized that there is someone for everyone, and someone out there thinks this girl is beautiful. She did not match my ideal of sex appeal, but who says my ideals are correct? The rst thing that attracts you to a person is the outward appearance, thats obvious. But,

outward appearance is not what holds it together. As rapper Kanye West says, Some of the prettiest people do the ugliest things. Find a person who you can let your hair down with, a person who you dont have to try to put a faade on for. One way Ive always known if a girl was worthwhile was nding out whether she could hang out with my friends without feeling out of place, People are themselves when they are in comfortable surroundings. They are not able to act this way on a stage in some pageant in front of many onlookers. Thats why its difcult to take the Miss Kansas competition,

and pageants in general, seriously. We wont see how these girls truly act. For all we know, these women in their nice evening gowns might go home and act completely different from the faade they put on for these judges. Naturally, they have changed the way they act for a night to t what they think the judges criteria will be, just like any guy does when he tries to impress a girl in a bar. This competition is just a big spectacle, and the one who walks away victorious may not actually deserve the crown. Simone is a Chicago junior in journalism and economics.

So, it turns out the new basketball student ticket policy was a KUnited idea. Well, that settles it: Delta Force just got my vote this year. So, Im watching a rerun of Yes Dear and I keep waiting for Mike OMalley to throw to Mo for the rules. All my roommate and I want are sweet pickles and a Joey. Is that too much to ask for?

Hey, Free for All, would you rather be round or square, assuming that the world was neither predominantly round or square? At the butcher shop today, a man came in and I asked him if he was thinking about buying a steak. He said, No, I am buying steak and thinking about poontang. I have gured out why most Kansans are upset with the evolution theory. It is because we evolved from buffaloes. Not monkeys, buffaloes. So, let me get this straight. KUnited has basically caused one original idea of theirs to happen this semester, and that one idea is this crappy ticket system.

PILLOW TALK

Run, rabbit vibrator, run

For the Sex and the City fans, this should sound a little familiar, but Ive thought this was an important topic long before I saw the show. Today, were going to discuss the rabbit-style vibrator. The rabbit-style vibrator is a womans best friend. This vibrator is designed to stimulate both the vaginal walls and the clitoris. The Rabbit-Habit vibrator was the best-selling sex toy of 2004, according to www.babeland. com. Of women who enjoy incorporating a vibrator into their toy chest, the rabbit-style is the one favored over any other. Using the diagram shown, one can see the basic outline of this style. The area labeled A is inserted into the vagina and in many models twists around to stimulate the walls of the vagina even as they expand through arousal. B on the other hand, remains outside of the vagina and rests

against the clitoris. It is in B that the rabbit-style gets its name. The original version had this part shaped as a rabbit, with the ears tickling the clitoris. Today, one can nd rabbits, beavers, dolphins and other non-descript ap-

pendages. Now, it is not my intention to argue that human contact is more gratifying, but there are times that one is not involved in a sexual relationship and still feels the need to satisfy sexual urges. In addition, many people nd that a partner is more than willing to participate in the use of a vibrator. Keep in mind, however, that this is a toy and was designed to supplement and enhance sexual intercourse, not replace it. For women who have difculty reaching orgasm through other means, this toy is something denitely worth experimenting with. This information will, I hope, provide hours of enjoyment to those who choose to use it. May all your sexual encounters be safe, sane and consensual, Enjoy, and have fun.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Abroad student discovers metaphor in French riots

France is a crazy place. I like France, but its crazy. One of the craziest things that Ive experienced during my study abroad here in Angers, which is west of Paris but not quite the coast, was obviously the riots. Because I live in the ghetto in town, Ive had the luck to be able to see a small part of the worst rioting that France has experienced since the student uprisings in 1968. These riots, however, are somewhat different from those in the 60s. First of all, they started completely differently. The catalysts for these riots were two young immigrant boys, who died while they were running away from the police. It wasnt the brightest idea for them to hide inside an electrical box, but I can sympathize. When you have police officers chasing you, reading danger signs probably isnt the highest priority on the list. Now, what does two kids dying have to do with immigrants rioting about what seems to be unemployment? Its all about symbolism and oppression. Many immigrants (mainly in the banlieue, aka suburbs) here feel they are being oppressed because many employers and police officers judge them solely by their origins. They are partially right.

Its all about symbolism and oppression. Many immigrants (mainly from the banleiue, a.k.a, the suburbs) here feel they are being oppressed because many employers and police ofcers judge them solely by their origins.
There are police officers who, upon seeing a group of immigrants, will automatically harass them and demand for their identification papers. Ive lived here for almost five months now, and no one has ever asked me for mine. There is discrimination in hiring practices. Statistics prove this discrimination because there is a 40 percent unemployment rate for immigrant workers, which is four times the national average. Many of these immigrants, however, lack the ability to communicate sufficiently in French, and the skills necessary for many jobs. Thus, it isnt surprising that they have a higher unemployment rate. But four times the

national average? Theres definitely some discrimination. Even if youre not looking to find discriminatory practices, theyre prominent enough that youll notice them in everyday life. So, why firebomb cars like the one that was only 200 meters away from where I was staying? While I watched the remaining flames be put out of a now nameless vehicle, I pondered this question and its answer: symbolism. Because the public transportation system is so good here, cars are considered a luxury and a symbol of wealth. Thus, by incinerating cars, immigrants are protesting their lack of opportunities to attain such status. Is such destruction justifiable? Of course not. Even though there is oppression in France, one shouldnt punish innocent civilians for political and social failures. Its good, however, that this issue is now on the table with a political spotlight, and who doesnt crack a smile when they think of the face on an owner of a Rolls-Royce whose precious car has been melted by the flames of a volcanic fury unleashed by some rowdy chap from the banlieue?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, Nov. 18, 2005: You will need to use charm, imagination and optimism to bypass some difficult people this year. In fact, you will need to learn not to take comments so personally. Often, others are talking about themselves and not about you. Some might be jealous because you appear to be very lucky and fortunate. No matter what goes down, you land on your feet -- or better. Be careful about a sweet tooth, as you could gain weight easily. In fact, not extremes, which are normal for your sign, but over-indulgences will be enticing. If you are single, your love life is ooh-la-la! If you are attached, you add heat to your bond. It sizzles again. CANCER understands you. ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH Family, real estate and investments play major roles in your choices today. You might have a disagreement with a child or family member. Dont make it a big deal. Everyone has different ideas. Allow others to disagree. Tonight: Mosey on home. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You might need to adapt your plans for a partner or someone you care about. Dont get an attitude; remain positive despite someones negativity. You cannot allow others to put you down or trigger you. Tonight: Hang out with pals. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Be careful with funds. You might think that money is there that isnt -- ouch. You might need to have a long discussion with an associate who impacts your daily life. Dont accept no for an answer. Work though a problem peacefully. Tonight: Stick to your budget. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Your smile helps bypass a boomerang here and there. Accept no obstacles. Just know that you havent found the solution yet. You will. Someone might be very hard on you. Dont let anyone or anything rain on your parade. Tonight: You decide. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HH No matter what you do or how you handle it, somehow you could experience a backfire. Think positively. Try to listen to others, even if they are hostile in their tone. Dont get down. You feel pressured. Tonight: Snooze some. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Your friends seek you out. Meetings might also be instrumental. You will have to adjust your plans and/or your thinking. Go with the flow, even if you think everyone is being a bit outrageous or difficult. Tonight: Let off steam with your friends. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Pressure builds for you to accomplish more than you actually can. Others might be critical or temperamental. You are only one person. Count on working past when others leave. Tonight: A late dinner. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You might want to take a leap of faith right now, but obstacles seem to stop you right before you jump. Others have a lot on their plates, and you seem to be the person they seek. Tonight: Split as soon as you can. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Dealing with others might take adapting and not pushing anyone into doing anything he or she doesnt want to do. Someone might be willful. Tempers get triggered, even yours. Take a walk at lunch. Tonight: Spend quality time with your favorite person. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You might need to defer to others if you have any intention of keeping the peace. Your creativity might be an endless source of ideas, only someone doesnt want to listen. Stop fighting city hall. Tonight: Say yes. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Listen to what is being said. You might be distracted for a good reason. If you can, take an early day and split. You push very hard and need a lot of downtime. Create such a situation for yourself. Tonight: Relax at home. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Try to tame an innate assertiveness that has been developing during the past few months. Allow more humor and joviality into your conversations. Others will respond. Adapt and flow. Tonight: Ever playful.

We need to just throw these guys in the fire, because they are going to be thrown in the fire anyway, Self said. Self said he hoped the Jayhawks would bond while they were in Maui. He said there was a certain point every season when a team becomes a team. Generally, Self said, it happened during Christmas break when there were not any distractions from school, family or friends just basketball. Im hopeful that we become a basketball team over the next week, Self said. To the point where we trust each other and lean on each other. Giles said gaining that chemistry that Self spoke of would be the key to the Jayhawks success in the tournament. If we all jel and play together, we can go pretty far in Maui, he said. The Jayhawks will leave Lawrence Saturday morning and arrive in Maui about 6:30 p.m. Saturday. They will go straight to an EASPORTS PlayStation tournament, where they will have a chance to hang out with players from the other teams. The team

Womens golf team signs four players

Kansas womens golf coach Erin ONeil announced the signing of four women for next falls team. Lawrence native Sydney Wilson and Dallas native Meghan Gockel will be on the team next year. Quincy, Ill., native Emily Powers and Gothenberg, Sweden native Camilla Svensson also signed a National Letter of Intent to play for the Jayhawks next season. We signed a great class of players and we are excited to have them join our family, ONeil said. There is no doubt that these girls will have an immediate impact on our program.

Five new Jayhawks sign on for next year

The Kansas softball team signed five women for next years team, the Athletics Department announced yesterday. Janice Damo, Tulare, Calif.; Amanda Jobe, Shawnee; Tracy Lubken, Phoenix; Sara Ramirez, Pacoima, Calif.; and Sarah Vertelka, Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., signed a National Letter of Intent to play for the Jayhawks. I am excited about the quality and depth of this class, Bunge said. With six seniors graduating, it was important to bring in players who have the ability to step in and help us right away. This class has that potential.

It is not like C.J. Giles is afraid of sharks or doesnt like warm weather. For some reason though, the sophomore forward doesnt really enjoy islands not that hes ever been to one. Im not a big island guy, Giles said. Its just a feeling I have. Luckily for Giles, he wont have too much free time to spend in Maui, Hawaii, during the Jayhawks six-day trip to the islands for the EASPORTS Maui Invitational. Kansas mens basketball coach Bill Self said the Jayhawks would be all business until they were done with their final game on Wednesday. Theyll see the beach, they just wont get in the water, Self chuckled. Ive always found that you have more fun when you play well, and we need to make that our focus as opposed to going over there and having a good time. Self has made that objective clear to his players as well. We know there will be lots of distractions over there, but

we understand this is a business trip, freshman forward Julian Wright said. We may be dodging the cold weather, but we are just trying to go over there and improve throughout the week in Maui. Kansas will play three games in as many days. The Jayhawks will tip off against the Arizona Wildcats at 4 p.m. Hawaii time, which is 8 p.m. Central Standard Time on Monday. The game will be televised on ESPN. The winner of that game will take on the winner of the Arkansas vs. Connecticut game and the loser will take on the loser of the same game. Both of the second-round games will be played on Tuesday. Kansas will play Wednesday as well, depending on the outcome of the first two games. Along with Kansas, Arizona, Connecticut and Arkansas, the tournament bracket includes Chaminade, Michigan State, Gonzaga and Maryland a fairly gaudy field for a young Kansas team. Connecticut and Michigan State are ranked No. 2 and No. 5, respectively, in the USA Today/ESPN preseason poll, Gonzaga and Arizona are

three games in as many days. The Jayhawks will tip off against the Arizona Wildcats at 4 p.m. Hawaii time, which is 8 p.m. Central Standard Time on Monday. The game will be televised on ESPN.

Kansas will play

will practice on Sunday afternoon, but Self said he would give them the rest of the day off. To an extent, Self laughed. It wont be just Go have at it. The Jayhawks had better enjoy their free time early because on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, its all business, Self said. After the final game on Wednesday and all day Thursday the team will be able to enjoy the sights. They will depart Hawaii about midnight on Thursday. The team will stay at the Westin Maui Resort and Spa on Kaanapali Beach. Edited by Jayme Wiley

Players honored for academic standing

The Kansas volleyball team had four players on the Big 12 All-Academic team this season. Sophomore Emily Brown, juniors Jaime Mathewson and Jana Correa and Paula Caten were honored by the league for maintaining at least a 3.20 GPA, which qualified them for the first-team recognition. Caten, who was named to the ESPN the Magazine/CoSIDA academic all-district team last week, was one of only three Big 12 players to maintain a 4.0 GPA.

10a Then we will make adjustments to prepare for Big 12s, which are our final exams, Campbell said. The Big 12 Championships will not be until next February. On Nov. 4, Kansas jumped into the College Swimming Coaches Association of Americas Top 25 poll at No. 24 and has a lot to defend this coming weekend. The Jayhawks have not competed in two weeks. Campbell let the team sleep in for a couple of mornings to rest, Urbatchka said. Wed like to consolidate the training gains; give them a little break in order to train hard in preparation for Big 12s, Campbell said. Campbell said with the extra rest and thorough practices, he expected season-best times from the Jayhawks. Urbatchka and this years seniors saw the results of Campbells training technique when they were freshmen in college, which was Campbells first year. The midterm meet in the 2002-2003 season was the North Carolina Invitational, where a majority of the team witnessed in-season or lifetime bests. We just expect good times out of ourselves anyways and were coming off of almost four days of rest, Urbatchka said. Urbatchka said that a team goal would be placing in the top three at the invite, which will feature other teams such as Wisconsin, Washington State, Notre Dame and South Dakota.Urbatchka said she predicted there would be lifetime and in-season best times as well as definite overall improvement to the team at the conclusion of the meet on Sunday. Well have to see what our bodies can do, she said. Edited by Jayme Wiley

Owners adopt new, tougher steroids policy

MILWAUKEE Baseball owners voted unanimously Thursday to approve the toughened steroids policy agreed to with the players association earlier this week. To say they were happy was the understatement of year, commissioner Bud Selig said. They were very pleased with the agreement and delighted with everything that had gone on. The unions executive board will decide when it meets Dec. 5-9 in Henderson, Nev., whether all players should vote to ratify the agreement or if board approval is sufficient.
The Associated Press

ST. LOUIS Kurt Warner led the St. Louis Rams to two Super Bowls and won a pair of MVP awards, and legions of fans still have not come to grips with his departure. Dial up sports talk radio any day during the football season, and invariably the perceived shoddy treatment regarding Warner losing the starting job to Marc Bulger in 2003 and his ultimate release before the 2004 season will come up. So his return to the city that witnessed his rise to fame could negate some of the Rams dome-field advantage in Sundays game against the Arizona Cardinals. He did so much for this city when he was here, so much for this organization, Rams wide receiver Torry Holt said. He never did anything bad in my eyes for them to treat him any other way. Even if he is 0-5 as the starter for a 2-7 team, the fans will remember the glory days. You always want to come back and feel some love from everybody there, Warner said. But at the same time Im realistic to know Im going to be wearing a Cardinals uniform and Im going to be the team thats hunted. Everything I think about

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner looks for an open receiver in the first quarter against the Dallas Cowboys on Saturday, Aug. 13 in Tempe, Ariz. Warner returns to St. Louis for the first time as an opposing quarterback. the city isnt going to be dictated on whether I get a great ovation on Sunday or they boo me. Bulger believes itll be a heros welcome. Hes not complaining. Im sure if we play each other itll always come up, Bulger said. Who knows? It doesnt bother me. It gets to be a boring story, but you keep talking about it. Especially if its the best storyline by far, considering the Rams are 4-5 after a loss at Seattle that all but clinched the NFC West for the Seahawks, and the Cardinals have dropped three in a row. The Rams continue to be plagued by injuries. They got Bulger, Holt, Isaac Bruce and Leonard Little back for last weeks loss at Seattle, but this week likely will be without guard Adam Timmerman (back) and cornerback Travis Fisher (groin). The Cardinals expect to get wide receiver Anquan Boldin

(knee) back after missing two games. Its time for a win, bottom line, defensive tackle Darnell Dockett said. We need a win in the worst way, the very worst way. Warner will try to become the first Cardinals quarterback to throw for 300 yards in three consecutive games and the attempt will come at the scene of some of his greatest triumphs. In 24 games in the Edward Jones Dome, he has completed 67.6 percent of his passes for 51 touchdowns. Regardless of how his career has floundered since, Warner said leaving town was a good thing for his career. When the Rams cut him loose, they had concerns about his oft-injured thumb that affected his throws, and a pocket presence that became more jittery. Warner started nine games for the Giants last year before losing his job to rookie Eli Manning, and then landed in Arizona. I wasnt going to play in St. Louis, so theres no question that was the best thing for my career, Warner said. Have I had the success that I had there? No, I havent. Its hard to find. This will be Warners first game in St. Louis since 2002, and 20 players on the Rams roster are former teammates.

10a After being held scoreless in a sluggish opening game, McIntosh scored 10 points against Emporia State last Sunday. I was able to run and beat some players in transition, McIntosh said. My teammates found me and I was able to score. Catic has emerged as the teams point guard, but will continue to share minutes with junior Shaquina Mosley. When Mosley is not playing point guard, she will move to a shooting guard position. Binghamton, located in New York, will enter the game in a similar situation, winning two exhibition games by large margins. Binghamton defeated St. Rose 96-51 and Le Moyne 93-50. Binghamton basketball coach Rich Conover said his team was excited to match up against a top-tier team in what will likely be a fast-paced game. Were going to see how that unfolds as it comes out, he said. Were not going to commit suicide. The Bearcats are led by Rachel Laws, who has been named to the America East All-Conference team each of the last two years. Conover described her as the teams backbone. The game will be a homecoming for senior guard Jen Blues, who is originally from Overland Park. For the Jayhawks, the game will be the first of 12 straight home games to open the season.

Light weekend for Big 12: three rivalry games

sideline will give K-State the victory. Kellis: This is turning into the hardest ticket to get at Kansas State in the last decade. Everyone wants to see Snyder go out in style. The Wildcats will play inspired ball for their coach and there is no way the Tigers will even stay close in this one. Travis: Im taking Baylor to defeat Oklahoma State down in Waco, Texas. The Bears have played much better football this year and all their close losses will finally translate into a victory. Im picking Baylor because they deserve to win for their fantastic effort all year long. Kellis: The Bears have nothing to play for, though. The Cowboys are coming off a huge upset against the Red Raiders and if they win their last two games they go to a bowl. Ill go with the team playing for more than pride. Kellis: Two middle-of-the-pack teams collide when Boston College plays Maryland. Both teams have some good

Kellis: With only three Big 12 Conference games this weekend, were scraping the bottom of the barrel with some of our picks. Travis: At least most of them are rivalry match-ups. Kellis: In the biggest conference game of the weekend, Oklahoma will play Texas Tech for the right to go to the Cotton Bowl. The loser will likely be in the Alamo Bowl. Travis: Oklahoma has played well lately and Texas Tech shocked everyone by losing to Oklahoma State last week. The Red Raiders, though, are at home and theyll get back to their winning ways. Kellis: I agree. No one can keep that Texas Tech offense down for long. Travis: Missouri looks like a good pick over Kansas State in the next game. The Tigers are the better team, but the emotional effect of Bill Snyder coaching his last game on the Wildcat

victories, but the Eagles have proved a little more to me. So Im taking Boston College to win on the road. Travis: Maryland won last week at North Carolina, which is a great home team. The Terrapins have momentum and will win a close game. Kellis: One of the oldest rivalries around is between Ohio State and Michigan. The Buckeyes are clearly the better team, but the Wolverines are at home and they gave the Penn State Nittany Lions their only loss of the season earlier this year. So, Ill go with Big Blue. Travis: Ohio State has a stronger de-

fense and even its offense has been putting up points lately. Michigan is also overrated. Senior linebacker A.J. Hawk will lead Ohio State to victory. Kellis: He does have the best name in college sports. Travis: I agree. Up next is Alabama at Auburn. This is one heck of a grudge match. Both teams are highly ranked, but Auburn is at home and coming off a big victory at Georgia. That momentum will carry the Tigers to victory. I dont think Alabamas offense will produce enough points. Kellis: That loss to LSU last week might suck all the fight out of Alabama. The Crimson Tide have a stellar defense, but Auburn looked too good in the fourth quarter against Georgia. I too am taking the Tigers. Travis; We both took USC and California and no one cares about Purdue vs. Indiana so lets move to

Clemson at South Carolina. Kellis: Clemson crushed Florida State last week and though Steve Spurrier is doing a tremendous job this year, he cant keep this up. Look for the Tigers to pull the upset. Travis: South Carolina has the home field and is on a roll right now. Spurriers team still has an outside shot of winning the SEC and going to a BCS bowl game. With so much on the line, the Gamecocks will win. F Travis Robinett is an Austin, Texas, junior in journalism. Kellis Robinett is an Austin, Texas, senior in journalism. He is Kansan sports editor.

It took about 10 minutes during Kansas mens basketball coach Bill Selfs weekly press conference before he answered a question about tonights regular season opener against Idaho State at 7 p.m. The game against No. 10 Arizona in the Maui Invitational on Monday will be an early test for a young Kansas team. Self said his team would focus solely on the game in Allen Fieldhouse tonight for now. We wont even talk about Maui, Self said. We havent talked to our players about going to Maui and we arent going to. We will talk about it Friday night. Self analyzed film of Idaho States two exhibition victories over Fresno Pacific and Montana Tech this season and said he was impressed. This is a team that not knowing much about them, I know enough by watching on tape that they are capable and they can shoot the basketball, Self said. Idaho State is from the Big Sky Conference and finished 9-18 last season last place in its conference. Idaho State basketball coach Doug Oliver will make his second trip to Allen Fieldhouse. He originally came when he was an assistant at Boise State in the late 70s. I will be happy with a tremendous

Mangino pleads for fans to come to Senior Day

To say this season has been a roller coaster would be an understatement, but to say its been a failure has yet to be determined. Silly how one game could determine the perception of the casual fan on Kansas season. With a victory against Iowa State, Kansas is almost certainly bowl bound. With a loss, perhaps the finest defense to ever play football at Kansas is squandered away. To say Iowa State is an automatic victory would only demonstrate the naiveity of the common fan. The Cyclones could legitimately be the second or third best team in the Big 12 right now. They are 7-3, but two of those losses came in overtime at Nebraska and Missouri. The other was a head-scratching home loss to Baylor. What is even scarier is how the fair-weather fans, who the team has looked at with animosity through the years, will view the game. With the game being pushed back a week to accommodate for a national television appearance comes the possibility of having a national audience watch a game of large magnitude played before a crowd that could rival a Kansas City Royals game played on a cold Tuesday night in April. Some people in the Athletics Department would tell you that this game isnt about making money anymore, they just want people in the stands. Hence, they have discounted tickets, implemented the policy reserved for the first game of the year, when students receive a complementary ticket for anyone, not just a student. Even Kansas football coach Mark Mangino sent a mass email pleading for students and fans to come to the game. Thats pretty sad. Though, the average attendance for home games will likely finish higher then it has in a long time, if ever, it means nothing if the game of the year is played before 25,000 fans. The coach should never have to plead with the students to come to a football game. Even though its a holiday weekend, there should be enough local students and fans who can put off Christmas shopping for a few more hours to come and bid farewell to some special football players on Senior Day. They could make a difference in the stands as they have all year. The fans are why the Jayhawks are undefeated at home this year. Thats why things can change around here. Thats why maybe the football program might one day be side by side on a level playing field with the basketball program. Dont believe me? Ask any Kansas-State fan if a winning program can exist. To say that the biggest game of the year will be such, well that wont be just up to the players and coaches, that will be up to the fans. Then, maybe well know if it is an end or a beginning.

effort and guys competing at the best of their ability, Oliver said. The Buffaloes will likely struggle with their lack of size compared to the Jayhawks. Idaho States tallest player is listed at 6-foot-7. Kansas boasts three players above 6-foot-10. We cant match that size, but we will try to front the low post and get some help from the weak side and establish our system, Oliver said. The Bengals will see their greatest production come from their guards tonight. Senior guard Tim Henry will likely shoulder the load. He averaged 12.5 points per game in the two exhibition games. Oliver said in order for the Bengals to be successful, they could not turn the ball over and had to minimize Kansas offensive rebounds. They have tremendous athleticism on the defensive end, Oliver said. They can jump in the passing lane and force turnovers. The Bengals have played in diffi-

Idaho State went to Oregon last season. There are a lot of dangerous games early in the season because they know you maybe more than you know them, Self said. Guys really gear their season into just one game when you are trying to gear your season into being as good as you can be over time. As for Oliver, he said he noticed the excitement of his team playing at Allen Fieldhouse. It is a great opportunity for us, Oliver said.

The Kansas swimming team left Lawrence on Wednesday evening for the Minnesota Invite in Minneapolis, Minn., which will begin today and end Sunday. The University of Minnesota will play host to the competition that will feature two other Big 12 Conference teams: Nebraska and Iowa State. In addition to Big 12 competition, Kansas will compete against the University of Minnesota, which beat Kansas in the first dual meet of the season. Senior Lindsay Urbatchka said that in championship meet format, which the invitational meet follows, the challenge of defeating the Gophers would fuel the Jayhawks this weekend. This is our championship meet for the fall. It will be great to feel speed, Urbatchka said. Kansas swimming coach Clark Campbell said the Minnesota Invite would comparably be the midterm exam for the Jayhawks.

ing. After committing 28 fouls in the exhibition opener against Pittsburg State, the team cut that number to 15 in its second game against Emporia State. Weve done a better job of getting our hands off the ball handler, Henrickson said. The starting lineup will likely re-
