P
ick a night and walk up the hill on
Louisiana Street between 17th Street
and Sunnyside Avenue. The hill is
steep. The sidewalk is uneven. About a
quarter of the way up, a set of six stair
steps abruptly interrupts the sidewalk.
Its a diffcult walk. The reason: You can barely
see your hand in front of your face. The lights at
each end of the long block arent bright enough to
overcome the shadows cast by trees and bushes
that line the sidewalk.
Emma Carter, Lawrence second-year law stu-
dent, walks home from campus this way, some-
times at night. Unless a couple of houses along
the street turn on their walkway lights, its near
pitch black.
Its spooky, she said.
The lack of lighting Carter has to deal with
wouldnt pass on campus, where regulations are
fairly strict. Step off campus, and the streets are
darker.
Anytime theres a university within a larger
community, theres always an issue with lighting,
said Kathy Rose-Mockry, program director of the
Emily Taylor Womens Resource Center. Cam-
puses tend to be much more observant to make
sure campus is accessible and lighting is a prior-
ity.

RJ Landers says that when he deals
with professors who dont have a lot of
experience with minorities, relating to
one another can be diffcult.
Landers, an African American and St.
Louis sophomore, said he has had expe-
riences where he felt teachers didnt ex-
pect as much from him or couldnt relate
to him because he was a minority.
Thats why Landers said he looked for-
ward to interacting with the speakers at
this weeks Am I My Brothers Keeper
Collegiate African-American Male Lead-
ership Conference, which starts today.
Prominent African-American busi-
ness leaders, professors and administra-
tors will speak to a group of 300 students
from across the country who will gather
at the University of Kansas for the sec-
ond annual event.
Robert Page, director of the Offce of
Multicultural Affairs, created the confer-
ence. He said the event was about re-
sponsibility and accountability at both
the individual and community levels.
Today through Saturday, the confer-
ence will feature workshops and ac-
tivities that focus on student leadership,
community involvement and personal
discovery. The conference is open to any
African-American male student.
Jabraan Pasha, Tulsa, Okla., junior,
said his experience with the conference
last year made an enduring impression
on him. Pasha served as the student con-
ference chairman.
He said the event inspired him to start
a student organization called Black Men
of Today that focuses on volunteering in
the community.

Withdrawal changes considered
By JOhn JOrdan
jjordan@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Students will need to make up
their minds earlier to drop a class if
a recommended policy proposal is ap-
proved.
The Academic Policies and Proce-
dures Committee is recommending
that students no longer be allowed to
drop a class after 60 academic days
have passed and that an automatic
WP or a WF be assigned to stu-
dents who drop classes after the initial
drop period.
The recommendation would still
allow students to drop a class with-
in the frst 15 academic days of the
semester without a penalty on their
transcripts.
From 15 until 60 academic days
after the start of the semester, a stu-
dent who drops will receive a WP
for withdrawing while passing the
class or a WF for withdrawing while
failing. Although the WP or WF
wont affect the students grade point
average, it will allow whoever sees the
students transcript to know how the
student was doing when he dropped.
In comparison, this semester in the
College of Liberal Arts and most other
undergraduate schools, students who
dropped from Sept. 8 until Oct. 26
automatically received a W. From
Oct. 27 until the last day of class, the
student will receive either a W or an
F at the discretion of the students
instructor.
The policy will be discussed by the
University Council at a meeting today
at 3:30 p.m. and will be voted on Dec.
1. The council is made up of 39 facul-
ty, 12 students and six University staff
members.
see witHDRAwAL on pAge 6A
Recommended changes to the
course withdrawal policy:
F Students can drop a class in
the frst 15 academic days with-
out penalty. This is the same as
the current policy.
FStudents who drop between
the 16th and 60th academic
days will receive either a WP
or a WF from the instructor,
depending on if the student is
passing or failing the class. The
WP or WF will not affect
the students GPA. The current
policy only assigns a W if a
student drops a course.
FStudents cannot drop a course
after the 60th academic day.
Currently, a student can drop
a class until the last day of the
course with the instructors
signature.

Jayhawks beat the Fort Hays State Tigers 96-62 on Wednesday night at Allen Fieldhouse.
Fans support Hawks in opener

The walls of Allen Fieldhouse re-
verberated with the chant, Lets go
Jayhawks Wednesday night, minutes
before the tip-off of the frst mens bas-
ketball exhibition game of the season.
Despite this game being an exhibi-
tion, fans treated it like any other at
Allen Fieldhouse.
Eric Nevels, Topeka freshman, was
in a group of about 20 students that
took up the entire frst row in the east
student section.
Nevels said his group was the frst to
enter the feldhouse Wednesday after-
noon.
The group began camping at 6
Wednesday morning. Nevels wanted
to make sure he had great seats for
his frst game in the student section.
Its crazy and a whole lot of fun,
Nevels said.
Sophomores Austin Hayden and
Chase Ketchum have been camping
out for basketball games since last
season. They, too, arrived Wednesday
morning just before 6 to get in line.
No matter what, we are going to
camp out, Hayden said. We have
been through everything. We have sat
outside in the snow.
Hayden and Ketchums group was
fourth in line, and when the doors
opened Wednesday afternoon, the
group sprinted to the west side of the
student section to get front row seats.
It was also the frst game for fresh-
men on the Kansas basketball team.
Forward Brandon Rush said he wasnt
even able to take a nap before the game
because he was flled with anticipation.
I was nervous at frst. I couldnt just
focus for some reason. My hands were
sweating, everything, Rush said. I
was feeling terrible out there. After a
while I got kind of used to it.

A group of students are mak-
ing sure the spirit of the per-
forming arts doesnt die in the
residence halls by preparing for
the frst McHash play.
Hashinger Hall, which is
closed for renovations, has tra-
ditionally been the artistic cen-
ter for the residence halls. Dis-
placed students from Hashinger
have taken residence on the sec-
ond and third foors of McCol-
lum Hall, an area dubbed Home
Away from Hash, and have re-
fused to abandon Hashingers
tradition of performing plays.
Even with no theater to practice
in, residents from Home Away
from Hash and other McCollum
residents are preparing to per-
form the play, Marcus is Walk-
ing: Scenes from the Road.
The McHash play will take
the stage Friday and Saturday at
7 p.m. in Alderson Auditorium
on the fourth foor of the Kansas
Union.
Diana Hall, Horton senior,
was president of Hashinger Hall
last year and lives in Home Away
from Hash. She said students
had been performing plays in
Hashinger since the inception
of the hall.
She said seeing that tradi-
tion continue allowed students
to understand the environment
of Hashinger. If this tradition
isnt kept alive, Hall said, stu-
dents would not know what to
expect when the hall reopened
next fall.
Without access to the Hash-
inger Hall Theater, the students
are using a small room on the
second foor of McCollum to
practice.
Emma Matthews, St. Louis,
Mo., freshman, said the com-
pact practice area has made it
diffcult to get things accom-
plished.
Its easier to get distracted in
a small room because we are all
cramped in there, she said.
The idea for the performance
was announced two weeks ago,
and in that time the students
had to pick a play, learn lines
and design the costumes and set.
The group looked for involve-
ment from students outside the
Home Away from Hash foors to
broaden the spirit of the fne arts
in the residence halls.
John Woosley, Dallas fresh-
man and director, said it was
easy for him to get involved be-
cause hes created several flms
and is interested in fne arts.
Hall said transferring the fne
arts atmosphere to McCollum
and involving its residents was
important because there were
students living in McCollum
who enjoy the arts.
She said the hard part was
letting interested students know
that opportunities to partici-
pate in the performing arts were
available to them.
The fact that all the participants
live in the same hall has made it eas-
ier to prepare, Woosley said. When
he needs to change a rehearsal time
its as simple as knocking on doors,
he said.
He said the group has had
two-hour rehearsals every night
in preparation for the perfor-
mances. He said the actors were
dedicated to putting on a good
show.
The play has allowed residents
to try something new. Matthews
said she had been exposed to
the arts and thought perform-
ing would be fun but had never
tried her hand at acting.
She said participating in the
play allowed her to do some-
thing shed always wanted to do
and provided her with an op-
portunity to get involved.
It gives me something to do
instead of sitting down and do-
ing my homework, which is bor-
ing, she said.
Those involved said they
wanted to generate further in-
terest among hall residents so
participation would be greater
for a production next semester.
Tickets for Marcus is Walk-
ing: Scenes from the Road are
free and can be picked up in the
SUA box offce.

Search on for new

TOPEKA Kansas lawmak-
ers might get a chance next
year to weigh on whether there
should be a special tax on sexu-
ally oriented businesses.
The Special Committee
on Assessment and Taxation
agreed Wednesday to come up
with a bill modeled after pro-
posals in Utah and Oklahoma
to place a 10 percent tax on
products and services sold by
the businesses.
Rep. Kenny Wilk, R-Lansing,
the vice chairman, said the panel
decided to go forward with the
proposal because of testimony it
heard last month about reported
connections between such busi-
nesses and sex crimes. He said
the tax would raise about $1.5
million annually.
Its not intended to drive
them out of business. Its in-
tended to cover the costs in-
volved in sex crimes, said Rep.
Sheri Weber, who supports the
bill.
Wilk said if legal concerns
were raised in crafting the bill to
tax the businesses, then the em-
phasis could shift to taxing the
merchandise. He said questions
of what qualifes as a sexually
oriented business or merchan-
dise would have to be worked
out.
The proposal is the brainchild
of Phil Cosby of Abilene, who
has been waging a battle for
the past two years against adult
stores around the state.
Im very pleased although I
think the percentage should go
up to 25 percent, said Cosby,
who attended the meeting. This
tax is directly related to the neg-
ative effects of pornographic
material.
Weber, R-Herington, pre-
dicted a significant amount
of support among lawmakers
after the Legislature convenes
Jan. 9. She said many who
have vowed not to raise taxes
would support the proposal
because they will see the bill
as having greater overriding
public interest than not rais-
ing taxes.
Not everyone agrees theres
a link between such businesses
and sex crimes.
John Ivan, an attorney rep-
resenting three adult stores in
Wichita, told the committee
last month the proposal was of
questionable constitutionality
because it could result in adult
stores being taxed while other
stores selling the same material
wouldnt be taxed.
He also said there were con-
tradictory and inconclusive fnd-
ings on the question of whether
sexually oriented materials were
tied to sex crimes.
Last year, Utah imposed a 10
percent tax on admission fees,
sales, food and drinks at sexual-
ly oriented businesses and a tax
on escort services equal to 10
percent of the amount charged.
The law is being challenged in
state court.
I dont care if they are in
court. If the Legislature wants to
draft a bill, we will draft a bill,
Wilk said. Laws are presumed
constitutional so whatever we
pass will go on the books.
Earlier this year, the Okla-
homa House approved a similar
proposal. It stalled in the Senate
but will be around for the 2006
session.

The University of Kansas has
joined 11 other universities to
research the drug-development
process in hopes of lowering the
price tag and the time involved in
manufacturing drugs.
The new National Institute for
Pharmaceutical Technology and
Education, which formed on Nov.
3, is led by Charles Rutledge, vice
president for research at Purdue
University, KU alumnus and a for-
mer KU professor.
The need for cheaper and faster
drug development is clear. Getting
a drug to the market can take 10
to 15 years and cost as much as $2
billion, said Vadim Gurvich, as-
sistant director of the KU Center
for Drug Discovery and associate
director of the Institute.
Karen Mahoney, spokesperson
for the FDA, said that any changes
pharmaceutical companies made
to FDA-approved drugs had to
be reviewed. To make a change, a
company has to turn in an appli-
cation explaining the changes so
the FDA can see that the drug still
serves its intended purpose. That
process takes time.
Gurvich said the companies
were afraid to make changes be-
cause the FDA process took so
long. He said the only way to
improve the process was for com-
panies to work together with the
FDA. He said the institute would
help by making new technologies,
which could translate into lower
costs, available to every company.
Mahoney said the FDA intend-
ed to do away with the applica-
tions for change with the help of
the institutes research. She said
she hoped the research would cut
down on time.
Getting a drug to the market
takes so long because pharmaceu-
tical companies use a trial-and-er-
ror approach, Gurvich said. He
said the chemical reactions used
to make drugs rely on specifc con-
ditions, such as the temperature at
which the drug worked best.
He said the companies tested a
wide range of variables and need-
ed to narrow that range to produce
drugs faster.
Gurvich said the Institute
hoped to change the old-fash-
ioned approach for testing drug
quality, which was to make the
drug and then analyze it when
its fnished. The institute wants
to fnd ways to analyze the drug
throughout the process so the
manufacturer can make changes
during development.
The institute has plans to devel-
op drug-modeling tools like those
the aerospace industry uses, Gurv-
ich said. He said aerospace scien-
tists designed planes on computers
because they had tools to predict
how all the parts would behave.
Ideally, we want to learn so
much about processes during
manufacturing that we can model
them on computers. Its a long
shot but not impossible.
Gurvich said that would re-
quire a combination of different
scientifc expertise.
Twelve universities can do
this, he said.
Rutledge said the universi-
ties would collaborate through
a board of directors. Most of the
funding for the institute was from
Purdue, but each University in-
volved would contribute $7,500,
he said. The institute will seek
federal funding it hopes will be au-
thorized by the end of this year.

On campus, brighter,

lighting engineers follow the
guidelines of the Illuminating
Engineering Society, which
mandate a minimum level of
lighting for all parts of cam-
pus, from parking lots to
doorsteps.
Off campus, the city ordi-
nance calls for street lights at
every street intersection and
cul-de-sac, which sometimes
dont illuminate areas in the
middle of long blocks.
Chuck Soules, Lawrence

the city tries to install light-

possible, but cost is often a
factor.
The city spends $500,000 a
year on electricity for street
lights, which leaves little ex-
tra money to

PARIS The French Riv-
iera cities of Nice and Cannes,
best known for the glitz and
flm festivals that attract Holly-
wood stars, were among areas
that imposed curfews for mi-
nors Wednesday even as rioting
abated.
The government toughened
its stance against those involved
in Frances worst civil unrest
since its 1968 student riots. In-
terior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy
said local offcials have been
told to deport the 120 foreigners
convicted so far for their roles in
the violence.
Although rioting persisted in
some places for a 13th night, car
burnings fell by nearly half and
reports of violence dropped.
Nonetheless, looters and van-
dals defed a state of emergency
imposed by the government
Tuesday, with attacks on super-
stores in northern France and
a newspaper warehouse and a
subway station in the south.
New arson attacks broke out
Wednesday evening in the south-
ern city of Toulouse, which was
hit earlier this week. Vandals set
four cars ablaze and rammed
a burning car into a primary
school, damaging its entrance,
the local government said.
The 12-day state of emer-
gency went into effect midnight
Tuesday. For much of France
including Paris it had no
perceptible effect. That such
extraordinary measures were
needed, however, has fueled na-
tional introspection about the
countrys failure to integrate its
African and Muslim minorities
seen as a key reason behind
the rioting.
The decree paved the way for
possible curfews in Paris, the
surrounding communities and
more than 30 other cities and
towns nationwide if offcials feel
they are needed. By Wednesday
evening, only a few municipali-
ties and regions imposed them;
Paris had not.
In Nice, Cannes and 19 oth-
er towns in the Riviera region
known as Alpes-Maritimes, in-
cluding the resort of Antibes,
minors are forbidden from being
outdoors between 10 p.m. and 5
a.m. without adult supervision.
Certain bars in Nice were or-
dered closed during those hours
for 10 days.
There have been no direct
clashes between youths and
police in the Riviera but unrest
that began in the area Friday
had persisted in some towns for
four nights.
Arsonists struck a warehouse
used by Nice-Matin newspaper
in the town of Grasse, national
police spokesman Patrick Rey-
dy said. A total of 161 cars have
been burned about half in the
Nice area and nine buildings
damaged across the Riviera re-
gion.
Interior Minister Nicolas Sar-
kozy, who previously infamed
passions by referring to trouble-
makers as scum, said 120 for-
eigners have been convicted for
roles in the violence.
I have asked regional pre-
fects to expel foreigners who
were convicted whether they
have proper residency papers or
not without delay, he said.

French riot police check the identity papers of two young men in white hooded tops as they patrol a housing complex
of Cenon, near Bordeaux, southwestern France, late Wednesday. The government toughened its stance against
those involved in Frances worst civil unrest since its 1968 student riots. Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy said local
offcials have been told to deport the 120 foreigners convicted so far for their roles in the violence.

The city also uses
high pressure sodium
lights, which emit a
more orange glow
than the white metal
halide lights the Uni-
versity uses. The lights
actually emit more
light than the kind the
University uses, but
are murkier, said Rus-
sell Benke, KU build-
ing systems engineer.
I couldnt believe it the other
day, but I actually agreed with
Sarah Stacy. I was initially
puzzled why a woman as lib-
erated as herself needed to use
so much innuendo to make her
article interesting, but what
was even more intriguing was
that she complained about
The University Daily Kansans
coverage of political events on
campus.
Although I think she is right
the Kansan could have done
more on the recent visit of Sen.
Joe Biden, I wonder if Stacy re-
alizes how lucky the KU Young
Dems were that their event got
covered at all.
Just to recap, the Kansan al-
lowed Stacy to publicize the
event under the guise of an
opinion piece and then ran a
full story with a photo on the
Senators visit.
Now, contrast this treatment
with how speakers sponsored
by the KU College Republicans
have been handled, which con-
sists of absolutely no coverage by
the Kansan so far whatsoever.
One might think that this
is because KUCR hasnt had
any notable speakers on cam-
pus this semester, and they
could be forgiven for think-
ing this because the Kansan
hasnt publicized, let alone
covered anything that KUCR
has done.
But, just to let everyone
know, this year KUCR has had
many guest speakers including
local radio personality Jerry
Agar, Speaker of the Kansas
House of Representatives and
gubernatorial candidate Doug
Mays and Kansas Secretary of
State Ron Thornburg in addi-
tion to many others.
Most of you would prob-
ably also be surprised to re-
alize that U.S. Congressman
Jim Ryun has also recently
visited campus. Even though
his visit received mention in
the Lawrence Journal-World,
this event didnt even make
the On Campus section of
the Kansan, let alone get its
own story.
Publicizing well-known
speakers like these as much as
possible should be a top prior-
ity for the Kansan because it
improves the reputation of the
University and thereby makes
every diploma earned here
more valuable.
Despite this, the Kansan has
continued to ignore important
events, with the latest omis-
sion occurring last Tuesday
when Mathew Dowd visited
campus.
Most people probably dont
immediately recognize Dowd
by name, but in the 2004 elec-
tion, he was President Bushs
top pollster and most impor-
tant strategist besides Karl
Rove.
Although this event did get a
line in the UDK but this was
probably only because of the fact
that his visit was co-sponsored by
the Dole Institute it was not at
all covered by the Kansan.
Thats right, not at all, even
though it was mentioned in the
Kansas City media and cov-
ered with an entire article in
the Journal-World.
Instead of any type of ar-
ticle, the event only made it
onto the Kansans Web site as a
photo with a caption because a
KUCR member personally took
photos and submitted them for
publication.
This is even more shocking
when one realizes that the au-
dience that Sen. Biden actu-
ally spoke to, as reported by
the Kansan, was about 75
people while the Dowd visit,
which didnt have nearly as
much publicity through cam-
pus media, drew over 200 peo-
ple into the Dole Institute.
The Kansan has tried to ex-
cuse its failure to report certain
events by saying that it hasnt
heard of some of the KUCR
sponsored speakers, and in
some cases, they cant be
faulted, but when it comes to
inuential state politicians and
people who are active in top-
echelon national politics such
as Mr. Dowd and Rep. Ryun,
their excuse just doesnt wash.
Instead of just covering the
events that they support (like
every single thing having to do
with gay pride or diversity),
maybe the editors at the UDK
should actually cover all of the
events that make news and
enhance the reputation of the
University.

Rights derived from humans
Editors note: Sarah Stacys
column will be in verse this
week.
We are from the latest genera-
tion of apathetic youth.
The mass media provides our
preferences and gospel truth;
We purchase what they say;
Put our possessions out on
display,
As this is what consumers
do.
We are hi-tech American
pioneers.
Instead of the Wild West,
suburbia is our frontier.
We have video games and
AIM to ll our time;
We know we have friends
because it says so online,
But we are more isolated
than it would appear.
We are blissfully bored and
blas.
Our wisdom can be ex-
pressed in tired clichs.
We read Cosmo and Maxim
for profound insight
On How to please your
man or Getting laid every
night
But we feel empty despite our
outward displays.
Affairs of state and global hu-
man rights are so pass.
They are nothing but abstract
endeavors that occur far away.
We discarded our predeces-
sors idealism,
For defeatism that we call
realism,
It would be politically incor-
rect any other way.
Our divorced parents and our
wartime Commander in Chief
Offer for comfort their reli-
gious beliefs,
Although we are secretly
unsure,
We accept it to feel secure,
It may be an illusion but at
least its relief.
We all love the same 15
songs;
Its not because the radio
markets them all day long.
We sometimes look around
and see,
How corporate our society is
coming to be,
Yet we shrug and turn on the
TV.

For we will all work for a big
company one day,
Its far wiser to obey and
develop your rsum.
So volunteer and join activi-
ties for appearance sake,
And turn off the thoughts
that keep you lying awake,
Because this generations
future has been mapped out for
you.
Stacy is a Germantown, Md.,
senior in political science,
Spanish and international
studies.
No human being has an in-
alienable right to life beyond the
extent to which a governing force
grants said human being the right
to life. In the United States, most
people believe unborn human fe-
tuses, while certainly alive, have
no right to self-determination.
They rely exclusively on the
mother for support and, without
such support, would perish from
existence. A human fetus devel-
ops into a full-edged human
by the grace of its mother. The
issue with abortion doesnt rest
with questioning whether a fetus
qualies as a life form or a human
being. It lies with the extent to
which a government has the right
to make personal and invasive
medical decisions for individuals
within its territorial borders.
The rhetoric on both sides of
this debate has made a very sim-
ple issue unnecessarily complex.
Despite Andrew Soukups funda-
mentalist Christian logic, human
beings do not possess inalienable
rights, certainly not rights derived
from some ctitious deity.
Dr. Paul Mirecki, chair of the
Universitys department of reli-
gious studies, offered the state-
ment: The concept of human
rights is basically a modern idea
coming out of the liberal social
movements of the 1960s, and to
impress that modern idea back
on to an ancient, Near Eastern
religion like Christianity is meth-
odologically suspect and anach-
ronistic. Ancient people never
had the concept of civil rights like
we do, civil rights were for elites,
not common people.
Soukup is creating God in
his own image, seeing God as
believing everything he believes
politically, in an attempt to de-
termine who has rights and who
doesnt have rights. Instead of
stepping up to the plate, hes
putting it back onto God.
Its interesting that the ideas of
God are coincidentally identical
to his own.Assuming our rights
come from God or whatever
particular god(s) someone be-
lieves in, one naturally expects to
nd free speech, press, assembly,
self-determination and others
completely prevalent throughout
the Western world.
In fact, a rudimentary under-
standing of history tells a com-
pletely different story. For more
than 1,700 years, most Christian
countries were little more than
theocratic monarchies, where
any rights Americans enjoy to-
day simply didnt exist.The facts
speak for themselves: the Ameri-
can Constitution, not some deity,
does in fact provide the rights we
enjoy. Fundamentalist Christians
would do well to take classes
from the department of religious
studies, where they will learn that
the very notion of representative
democracy and inalienable rights
would have been appalling to Je-
sus, who was an absolute monar-
chist.
Religions may start with the
best intentions, but they almost
always end up promoting a ruling
class, and Christianity provides
an excellent example. During the
theocratic, absolute monarchies
in the Middle Ages, the Roman
Catholic Church legitimized rul-
ers who often ruled over people
with an iron st. Religious lead-
ers also perpetuated inquisitions,
violent crusades, witch burnings,
torture and genocide.
Does this sound like a reli-
gion that makes it clear within its
scriptures that human beings all
enjoy certain inalienable rights?
As it turns out, such a thing ex-
ists only within the secular gov-
ernments in our modern world.
It never existed in any Christian
theocracy.
For a person to claim that
rights come from a deity not only
displays a complete lack of his-
torical understanding and distor-
tion, but likewise insults the very
people who fought tirelessly to
establish rights and freedoms in
America. Secularists do not care
what meaning other people as-
sign their lives, as long as that
meaning doesnt include constant
harassment and negative actions
towards others.
Its a shame fundamentalists
wave the American ag with such
intensity, yet fail to appreciate
the actual source allowing them
to freely practice their religion, a
right they would gladly strip from
others.

Conference
continued from page 1a
The keynote speaker of the
event is Kevin Powell. Best
known for his role on MTVs
Real World, he is also a jour-
nalist, political consultant and
community activist. His lecture,
Beyond Bill Cosby: Bridging
the Generational Gap in Black
America, is open to the public.
It begins at 7 tonight at the Kan-
sas Room in the Kansas Union.
Pasha said that while the speak-
ers imparted a lot of practical wis-
dom, it was the interaction with
fellow collegians who wanted to
do something with their lives that
inspired him the most.
A lot of times the African-
American male is portrayed in
a negative light. Sometimes we
bring it on ourselves, but there
are also others who have goals
and dreams, Pasha said.
Clayton Holmes, Topeka soph-
omore, will attend the conference
for the frst time this year. He said
he looked forward to the unity the
conference encouraged.
...brothers need to stop tear-
ing each other down. To see
people worried about the same
causes and who look like you
... it makes you feel better about
yourself. Like youre not alone
out there, Holmes said.
Holmes said that while the
conference encouraged leader-
ship and excellence, the greatest
accomplishment for him would
be leading a normal life.
I just want to live my life and
not worry about how people
see me. My skin color shouldnt
matter, Holmes said.
Other speakers this year include
Tyrone Bledsoe, vice president for
student life at the University of To-
ledo; U.S. Rep. Emanuel Cleaver
II, former mayor of Kansas City,
Mo.; and Alonzo Jones, associ-
ate dean of student life at Arizona

Amy Rossomondo, co-direc-
tor of the basic language program
for Spanish and Portuguese, said
having a limited time to drop
would help students make up
their minds to get out of classes
they didnt intend on staying in.
She said about 10 percent of
students in language classes in the
department drop late in the semes-
ter, up to the last day of class.
When these students drop,
grade spreads are skewed, which
leads to the appearance of grade
infation, because typically those
who drop are the students with
the lowest grades, Rossomondo
said.
But she said she thought
changing the policy to give stu-
dents WPs and WFs was not
necessary,
I dont see any need to pe-
nalize students if they drop be-
fore the end of the semester,
she said.
Student Senate members on
the committee say they were
happy the committee didnt
recommend a shorter frst drop
period.
Nathan Ladd, Effngham ju-
nior and College of Liberal Arts
and Sciences senator, is on the
committee. He and another
student representative came to
Senate before the proposal was
completely decided to urge Sen-
ate to vote in favor of not short-
ening the period.
He said that the committee
was willing to listen to the con-
cerns of students. There was
talk of shortening the period
to 10 academic days. Ladd said
that would be detrimental for
students taking a weekly class.
It seemed like a drastic cut
for no reason, Ladd said.

Beating either Texas or Iowa State
and getting his team to a bowl game
two out of the last three years would be
a tremendous step for Mark Mangino
and his program.
To think that only a month ago,
this Kansan columnist suggested that
he might not be the right man for the
job. Oops. On Sept. 10 I wrote, If he
doesnt start winning close games, this
offseason Kansas needs to take the next
step and hire a better in-game coach
with the ability to deliver a winning
season. Well, Mangino started win-
ning and has a good chance of getting
to six victories.
On that note, I would like to for-
mally apologize to Mangino. Im sorry,
big guy. Thanks for proving me wrong.
Kudos for the fantastic defense you put
together.
It really is a pleasure to watch those
guys tackle and make the other team
consistently punt the ball. Its even bet-
ter when the offense doesnt give the
ball right back.
Mangino still hasnt won many
games decided by nine points or less
in his career at Kansas. His record
in those games is 3-10. But Mangino
wont need to make the right decisions
in close games to make a bowl game,
because his team wont make most of
its games close.
Since Mangino fnally found the right
quarterback in senior Jason Swanson
and fgured out that Kansas offensive
strength was the running game, the
nations best rushing defense has been
able to stay off the feld and watch for
more than four plays before stepping
on the feld again. Even better than
that, the offense has actually scored
fve touchdowns in the last two games.
Thats two more than what it scored in
the previous four.
Manginos secret for a successful
team clearly isnt in-game decision
making. But he is great at recruiting,
making game plans and motivating his
team, especially against the opponents
Kansas fans really want to beat.
Mangino already has accomplished
the programs immediate goals by
ending the 36-game losing streak to
Nebraska, ending the 11-game losing
streak to Kansas State, defeating Mis-
souri three years in a row and making
a bowl game. What more could Kansas
fans ask of Mangino?
Four years ago, all those achieve-
ments would have been inconceivable
under former coach Terry Allen. Re-
member the last time Kansas played at
Texas? The year was 2001, Allen had
just been fred and Kansas lost 59-0.
Kansas will most likely lose again this
weekend, but Mangino has put together
a team that has a chance, even though
its a very small one, to go into Austin,
Texas, and win.
The next step for Mangino is to push
the program to the point where it is get-
ting at least six victories on an annual
basis. Maybe then he and Kansas will
get more respect across the country. Af-
ter the last two victories, Mangino will
at least get some from his own cam-
pus.

KANSAN SENIOR SPORTSWRITER
As Jason Swanson walked down Mass. Street a
few hours after Kansas defeated Nebraska 40-15
Saturday, he didnt feel like a big man on cam-
pus.
The senior quarterback was dressed in the
suit football players wear before every game and
should have been easily spotted by the multitude
of fans downtown celebrating the Jayhawks frst
victory against Nebraska since 1968.
But the only people congratulating him were
his girlfriend and her mom.
The lack of attention didnt surprise or bother
him. Hes too modest to expect superstar treat-
ment, even after ending a 36-game losing streak to
Nebraska this year and an 11-game losing streak
to Kansas State last season.
Not a lot of people know who I am without
having a jersey on, Swanson said. People dont
talk to me very often on campus. I just feel like a
normal student.
People might not roll out the red carpet for him
now. But in coming years, he could be one of the most
fondly remembered quarterbacks in Kansas history.
Despite playing in only a handful of games, the
victories he earned and the streaks he ended will
forever be part of Jayhawk lore. No matter what
he does the rest of his college football career, hell
be brought up whenever Jayhawk trivia is played.
Ive got one of those college trivia games ask-
ing weird off-the-wall questions, Swanson said.

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The Kansas volleyball team
overcame a one-game defcit to
win three in a row and defeat-
ed Oklahoma 3-1 in Norman,
Okla., Wednesday night. The
second straight Kansas road vic-
tory might have happened just
in time to save the season.
The Jayhawks still have to win
at least three more matches to have
a realistic chance of making the
NCAA tournament. Their next test
will come Saturday night against
the Texas Tech Red Raiders.
Every match is a must-win
situation, Kansas coach Ray
Bechard said. We put ourselves
in that situation, but weve been
in it before and responded, and
I think this team is very capable
of doing it again.
Kansas is now 14-11 overall
and 6-10 in Big 12 Conference
play. Oklahoma fell to 6-19 and
1-15 in league action.
Sophomore opposite hitter
Emily Brown had one kill after
the frst game. She fnished the
match with 22. After the match,
Kansas volleyball coach Ray
Bechard expressed his satisfac-
tion with her effort.
She was huge tonight, he
said. She has been big for us
the last couple of matches.
Senior outside hitter Paula
Caten and senior middle block-
er Josi Lima added 15 kills each,
and Lima posted a team-high 6.5
blocks to pace the Jayhawks.
After losing the frst game 30-
27, the Jayhawks began their
comeback and evened the match
in game two. They led nearly the
entire way and slipped past the
Sooners 30-27.
Game three was all Kansas.
It fell behind early in the game,
but it stormed back and won 30-
23, grabbing a 2-1 advantage.
Kansas wrapped up the pro-
ceedings in game four with a
hard-fought 30-28 victory. After
recording a triple-double against
Colorado just more than a week
ago, senior setter Andi Rozum
fell just one kill short of repeat-
ing that feat Wednesday night.
She fnished the match with
nine kills, 10 digs and 56 as-
sists. Junior defensive specialist
Dani Wittman led Kansas with
17 digs. Three others fnished in
double-digits as well.
Bechard said the Jayhawks
defensive effort was the key to
victory.
Weve won back to back
matches on the road, and thats
a sign that the teams trying to
get better and not giving up,
Bechard said.

Sitting in the locker room before Kansas 96-62
victory over Fort Hays State, Brandon Rush didnt
feel so well. His nerves were in full force and he
had a severe case of bubble gut.
I was real nervous, I had the BG. My stomach
was bubbling and everything, Rush said.
It took Rush a half to get his nerves settled, but
when he did the freshman forward was nearly un-
stoppable.
After going one for three from the foor in the
frst half for just two points, Rush went six of nine
with 15 points in the second. In a one-minute
stretch, Rush scored eight consecutive points,
including a highlight where he stole the ball and
drove it the length of the court for his signature
reverse dunk.
I stole the ball and felt him behind me and just
reversed it and threw it down, Rush said. Then
I stared him down.
Rush also pulled down seven offensive re-
bounds. He said the main reason for his enlight-
ened play in the second half was that he felt more
comfortable with 20 minutes of play under his
belt.

Team and
individual suc-
cess marked
the conclusion
of the womens
golf teams fall
season.
The Jayhawks
competed in
fve tourna-
ments and fnished in the top
10 in four of them. Individually,
junior Amanda Costner placed
in the top seven in four out of
fve tournaments, and senior
Chelsey Pryor won the Oral
Roberts Shootout and placed
31st or higher in every tourna-
ment.
The team made progress this
fall and will continue workouts
to improve in time for the spring
season.
After starting the season
with a sixth-place fnish at the
Ptarmagin/Ram Fall Classic
in Fort Collins, Colo., the Jay-
hawks improved at the Oral
Roberts Invitational with a sec-
ond-place fnish. Kansas then
placed sixth at the Marilynn
Smith Invitational and eighth
at the Lady Razorback Invita-
tional. The only tournament
in which the Jayhawks didnt
place in the top 10 was The
Derby Invitational in Auburn,
Ala., where they fnished 16th.
Kansas also shot four sub-300
rounds in tournaments this fall,
after not having a single sub-
300 round last fall.
Im happy with this seasons
results. Were a whole different
team from last year, Kansas
womens golf coach Erin ONeil
said.
ONeil said she was pleased
with individual perfomances as
well. ONeil said Costner had a
chance to be an All-American if
she continued to have as much
success in the spring.
After winning the Oral Rob-
erts Shootout, Pryor had anoth-
er solid showing last weekend at
The Derby, fnishing 16th.
Chelsey did great in a strong
feld, ONeil said. That feld
was comparable to the NCAA
Tournament, and we need to
keep that in perspective and use
it as a good motivator.
This winter, the golfers still
have plenty of work to do.
The team will workout four
times a week doing cardio-en-
durance exercises while focus-
ing on abs and biceps. Although
the women wont be on the golf
course every day, they are ex-
pected to tee up individually.
The team will also hold swing-
ing practices in the Anschutz
Sports Pavilion to stay crisp.
When winters ice fnally
thaws, Kansas should be ready
to answer springs call to the
course. The team wants to con-
tinue to fnish in the top 10 at
tournaments, fnish in at least
the top half of the Big 12 Con-
ference and qualify for NCAA
Regionals.
Kansas begins its spring
season in late February in Par-
rish, Fla. Other spring tour-
naments include The Mo
Morial and Betsy Rawls In-
vitational. Both tournaments
are in Texas.
Our spring schedule is favor-
able, ONeill said. The work is
paying off, but we need to con-
tinue to make progress to get to
where we want to be.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Kansas
City Chiefs running back Priest
Holmes was placed on injured re-
serve and will miss the rest of the
season because of a medical condi-
tion that was frst noticed in train-
ing camp, the team said Wednes-
day.
It was the frst time that the
Chiefs acknowledged that the Oct.
30 hit during the loss at San Diego
was not the sole cause of Holmes
medical problems.
Holmes, 32, a three-time Pro
Bowler whose 66 touchdowns
between 2002-2004 are an NFL
record for any three-year span, left
the game after that hit and has not
played since.
The teams orthopedic surgeon
and two specialists recommended
that Holmes not have any hard
contact for at least 30 days, team
president Carl Peterson said, but
the doctors did not recommend
any surgery.
Television station KSHB re-
ported Wednesday that doctors
had found a lump on Holmes
spine and were concerned about
possible paralysis should he take
a direct hit. Citing a highly-placed
source, the station said Holmes
could announce his retirement as
soon as Thursday.
But both the team and an em-
ployee at the frm run by Holmes
agent, Todd France, rejected sug-
gestions that Holmes would retire
because of his condition.
Injuries have caused Holmes
to cut short three of the last four
seasons, but he has rushed for 451
yards and six touchdowns on 119
carries. He also has catches for 197
yards, including a 60-yarder for a
touchdown in a victory against.

Tuesday was the frst day for
women basketball players to
sign with prospective schools
for the 2006-2007 season.
The Jayhawks have up to
seven scholarships to offer
and received six commit-
ments Tuesday, with a seventh
expected by the end of the
week.
Two local players will stay in
state to play for the Jayhawks
next year: Lindsay Ballweg,
a guard from St. Thomas
Aquinas in Overland Park, and
Danielle McCray, a forward
from Olathe East High School.
McCray is the highest-
ranked player in the signing
class and was rated as high
as 30th in the nation by some
recruiting services.
Kansas coach Bonnie Hen-
rickson was also able to sign
two highly touted players from
Texas: Signee LaChelda Ja-
cobs and Porscha Weddington.
Sade Morris, a forward from
Norman, Okla., also signed.
The fnal commitment yes-
terday was from Kelly Kohn, a
guard from Adrian, Mich.
A commitment is expected
from Rebecca Feickert, a senior
in Goodrich, N.D.

the Jayhawks next season.
Brittany Williams, a 6-foot-1-
inch middle blocker from Atlanta,
via New Orleans, also committed
to play for Kansas next season.
The two will help fll the voids
left by graduating seniors Paula

continued from page 1B
We had a little speech dur-
ing the halftime and (coach)
told us to come out and have
fun, Rush said. It was hard
at first with everyone being so
loud and screaming, but after
a while you kind of got used
to it.
The entire Jayhawk team
settled down in the second
half. Leading at the half 44-
27, the game was never in
question, but Kansas had yet
to put on its best offensive
display.
The Jayhawks scored 52 sec-
ond-half points, showing off
their new, up-tempo offense.
Pushing the ball up the court,
Kansas played a well-rounded
game, nailing some outside
shots and dominating inside the
paint.
Sophomore guard Russell
Robinson led the charge with
11 assists, seven of which went
to sophomore forward Sasha
Kaun.
Kaun led all scorers with 23
points, thanks largely to Rob-
insons passes. Robinson found
Kaun in the paint on three
straight plays early in the sec-
ond half.
Russ can just have a feel on
when to pass it and where to
pass it, Kaun said.
Freshmen Mario Chalmers,
Julian Wright and Micah Downs
played 16, 23 and 17 minutes re-
spectively. Kansas mens basket-
ball coach Bill Self said overall,
he thought the freshmen were
effective.
Brandon was very good,
Mario was good in spurts but he
wasnt sound defensively and he
gambled too much, Self said.
Julian, I thought, was not very
good early but was very good
late, and Micah did some good
things too.
Chalmers fnished with 10
points, Wright with eight and
Downs with three.
Everybody on the Jayhawks
roster scored last night, in-
cluding walk-on freshman
forward Matt Kleinmann
and sophomore guard Jeremy
Case, who swished a three-
point shot with three seconds
left in the game.
It is good that everyone
scored, Self said. Everyone
should walk out of here feeling
pretty good.
Notes:
With both senior guard Ste-
phen Vinson and senior for-
ward Christian Moody starting
the game, two former walk-ons
were in Kansas starting lineup.
Sherron Collins and Brady
Morningstar signed national let-
ters of intent to play at Kansas.
Collins, a 5-foot-11-inch guard
from Chicago, is rated the No. 2
point guard in the class of 2006
by recruiting Web site www.ri-
vals.com.
He averaged 25 points, 10
assists and eight rebounds a
game last season for Crane High
School.
We are very excited about
Sherrons decision, Self said.
Sherron is thought of by many
to be one of the best point
guards prospects out of Chicago
since Isaiah Thomas.
Morningstar, whose father,
Roger Morningstar, played
at Kansas during the 1974
and 1975 seasons, is a Law-
rence native. The 6-foot-3-
inch, 170-pound Morningstar
will play prep basketball this
season at the New Hampton
School.
Sophomore forward Darnell
Jackson was not in uniform last
night. Self said he was not in-
jured.
There is an elgibility issue
with Darnell that we thought
was going to be resolved today,
and it wasnt, so hopefully it
will be resolved and he can play
Monday, Self said.
He would not elaborate fur-
ther on the issue.
Former Kansas guard Ryan
Robertson was in attendance
last night. He received a round
of applause from the Kansas
faithful midway through the sec-
ond half.
Wednesday was senior guard
Jeff Hawkins birthday and to-
day is sophomore guard Jeremy
Cases.

thursday, november 10, 2005 the university daily Kansan 3b
Swanson
continued from page 1B
It will be kind of interest-
ing to see it in a game one day
when Im older, playing with my
kids.
This was only a dream to
Swanson 10 weeks ago. Before
the season, he was recovering
from a knee injury, and most ex-
perts considered him the fourth-
best quarterback on the team.
Swanson said he kept his
head up and hoped for the best,
but he knew it would take hard
work and patience to get back
to 100 percent.
Just cracking the active roster
looked tough.
Seeing legitimate playing time
seemed far-fetched.
Leading Kansas to victory ap-
peared impossible.
But as the season wore on,
Swanson began to improve, and
the quarterbacks in front of him
junior Adam Barmann and
senior Brian Luke struggled
so mightily that Kansas offense
failed to score a touchdown in
consecutive games.
As the weeks passed, Swan-
son moved up the depth chart.
Before the K-State game,
he was named offensive scout
player of the week. The follow-
ing week, he was promoted to
backup quarterback.
Then, against Colorado, he
got his chance. Luke suffered
an injury during the frst half,
and Swanson was sent into the
game.
Instantly, the offense im-
proved.
A unit that couldnt gain 100
yards against Oklahoma racked
up more than 350 against Colo-
rado. Running backs were sud-
denly breaking off long runs;
wide receivers started catching
fade passes; and, most impor-
tantly, the Jayhawks began scor-
ing touchdowns.
Swanson led Kansas to 13
points in the loss to Colorado
and the same total the following
week in a victory against Mis-
souri. Then, against Nebraskas
highly regarded defense, the Jay-
hawks exploded for 40 points,
with senior wide receiver Mark
Simmons, junior running back
Jon Cornish and senior running
back Clark Green each having
100-yard games.
Kansas football coach Mark
Mangino said Swanson was
learning how to read defenses
and managed a game well, but
that alone didnt explain the of-
fenses complete turnaround.
Not even Swanson could fg-
ure it out.
I have no idea, he said. I
just tried to keep doing what I
was doing the previous six or
seven weeks. Im not sure why
we started scoring points. I
guess youd have to ask them
what clicked in their heads.
Simmons said Swanson im-
proved the offense because even
when he made mistakes he ap-
proached the next play with
confdence.
Senior linebacker Kevin
Kane said Swansons demeanor
rubbed off on everyone on the
feld.
Hes a savvy player, Kane
said. Hes not afraid to take
chances. The rest of the offense
feeds off that attitude, and hes
just given them a spark.
The rejuvenated offense has
helped the Jayhawks get back
into bowl contention. With one
more victory, Kansas will qualify
for its second postseason game
in three years.
Swanson said he would do
everything he could to snag
that last victory, not because he
wanted glory or to fnally be no-
ticed on campus, but just to ex-
tend the time he has remaining
to play football and be around
his teammates.
He said his friendship with
them was what he enjoyed most
since he transferred to Kansas
from the City College of San
Francisco after his sophomore
year.
Grinding out nine to 10
months of work can seem point-
less after a while, even make
you ask Why am I doing this?
he said. But if you have guys
that are really good and posi-
tive, it gets you through those
tough times. It really makes it
enjoyable.
Swanson said he was 95 per-
cent sure his football career
would be over after this semes-
ter. So, if Kansas becomes bowl
eligible, that feeling will last un-
til late December.
If not, Swanson only gets two
more weeks.
Either way, he said he would
leave Kansas happy that he
got to experience a true col-
lege atmosphere and play in big
games.
When its fnished, hell turn
into a normal guy with a regular
job.
Until he hears his name
called on a trivia card. Then,
maybe hell feel like a big man
on campus.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for
Thursday, Nov. 10, 2005: You have a
way of reversing issues and turning
problems in your favor. You start a new
luck cycle this year. You often fnd oth-
ers rather temperamental and diffcult;
just dont take their comments person-
ally. Many times close associates are
angry at something else, but you could
feel the brunt of their frustration. Use
care with a tendency to overindulge;
each Scorpio has his or her own
weakness. Your imagination proves to
be pivotal, whether single, attached
or an artist. Let your libido fow. If you
are single, you might have a diffcult
time keeping that status. If you are at-
tached, allow more of the old romance
in. Relive some of your frst dates.
PISCES inspires you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)
HHH Knowing when to say little and
listen will become one of your great
skills. If used today, you will gain as
a result. Confusion runs riot during
meetings and communication. Clarify
and verify. Mull over a sudden insight.
Tonight: Get some extra sleep.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
HHHH You have a way with others
that makes a difference. You might
not see eye to eye with an associate.
Agree to disagree. Your energy builds.
Make sure you use this vitality in a
good, positive way. A meeting could
draw surprising results. Tonight: Be
among the crowds.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
HHH A boss is dominant, to say
the least. Take instructions without
making any comments. You might
find that you are on a different
page than someone else. Verify
appointments. Clarify communica-
tions. You need to exercise to re-
lieve stress. Responsibilities drop
on you. Tonight: In the limelight.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)
HHHH If you use your ability to
detach, you will gain from the vari-
ous situations that mark your day.
Evaluate what is happening with a
child or friend who might be rather
bellicose. Listening to commentary
doesnt mean you need to follow
the suggested path. Tonight: Try
something new.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
HHHH Others want their way.
Understand that you have no control.
Listen to feedback from a loved one
who cares, a boss or someone whose
opinion you care about. Listen to
your sixth sense with a money offer.
You are better off saying no. Tonight:
Quality time.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
HHHHH How you visualize a per-
sonal matter might be very different
from how someone else does. You will
not fnd common ground unless you
break the mold. Others want to be in
charge. Confusion surrounds plans.
Tonight: Say yes. Its easier.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
HHH Stay in touch with what you
must do. Concentrate on getting the
job done. You need to listen to a part-
ner who gives you tons of feedback,
whether you want it or not. This per-
son might have a point or two. Tonight:
Relax with a pal.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
HHHHH Your creativity marks your
decisions. Listen well to what others
say. Confusion surrounds talks, meet-
ings and plans. Dont make anything
a big deal. Someone pitches in just
when you need him to. Let this person
know how much you appreciate him.
Tonight: Romp away.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
HHH Basics do count. You might
need to work at creating the environ-
ment you need and want. Think
through a decision that might cause a
lot of strong feelings. Take feedback
positively. Tonight: Head home.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
HHHH You will like what happens
if you go with the fow. You fnd that
some confusion surrounds you; per-
haps you might be overthinking things.
Talk rather than create mountains out
of molehills -- OK? Tonight: Catch up
on a friends news.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
HHHH Funds play a strong role in
what happens in the next few days.
Dont kid yourself about your monetary
risks, no matter what others say.
Walk the conservative path. Listen to
suggestions from a family member.
Tonight: Hang on to your money.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
HHHH The Moon in your sign helps
you jump over any obstacles. Someone
might be confusing or might misunder-
stand what you are saying. Ask ques-
tions using diplomacy. Others will inform
you. Tonight: Whatever you want.

LOS ANGELES Paris Hil-
ton has been subpoenaed as a
witness in a criminal case.
The case involves burglary,
robbery, kidnapping and carjack-
ing charges against Darnell Riley,
28, who was arrested Jan. 22,
2004, for allegedly breaking into
the home of Girls Gone Wild
creator Joe Francis and trying to
kidnap him, Robison said.
Riley pleaded not guilty,
said his attorney, Ronald
Richards. Hiltons spokesman,
Elliot Mintz, said she would
comply with the law but I
dont see what contribution, if
any, shes going to be able to
make in that case.

McCollum
Its been a very exciting couple of
months in the residence halls, especially in
McCollum. The Big Mac has seen lots of neat
and interesting programs spring up under the motivation and
creativity of its occupants.
McCollum is still hosting a Capoeira dance group
that meets frequently to perfect their Brazilian dance moves.
One of the more exciting upcoming programs is the Hash Play.
Since McCollum is the home away from Hash, Big Mac will also
be working on the annual Hashinger play. This will be an unique year
since the traditionally Hashinger run program will now have McCol-
lum inuence. The play is scheduled for November 11th and 12th in
Alderson Auditorium.

The official newsletter

Pall 2005 The University of Kansas
Questions and Answers with
President Jessica Sullivan
What is the AURH?
Jessica: The Association of University Residence Halls (AURH)
is a student organization that serves as the governing body of the resi-
dence halls at KU. All residents of these traditional residence halls
(Corbin Hall, Ellsworth Hall, Hashinger Hall, Lewis Hall, McCollum
Hall, Oliver Hall, Gertrude Sellards-Pearson (GSP) Hall, or Templin
Hall) are considered members of AURH. All members are nonvoting
members and have the right to run for an open position, attend all Gen-
eral Assembly meetings, speak during open forum, and participate in
committees.
AURH is highly respected across campus and works coopera-
tively with the Department of Student Housing. Our ofce is located
in McCollum Hall. General assembly meets weekly on Tuesdays at 6
p.m.
What is a GA meeting?
Jessica: A general assembly meeting is a time for AURH to dis-
cuss issues effecting the halls, to brainstorm ideas for programs, share
information about whats going on in the different halls, and have some
fun at the same time.
Who represents me?
Jessica: Each hall has elected representatives according to the
population of their hall.
How can I get involved with AURH?
Jessica: Getting involved with AURH is easy! Come to a gen-
eral assembly meeting and join a committee! Bring us proposals for
ways to improve your residence hall!
GSP/Corbin
GSP/Corbin participated in a decorat-
ing competition between the halls for
Halloween. Parents and their children
picked the winners.
GSP/Corbin also made bracelets
as a fundraiser for breast cancer re-
search and awareness in October.

No Frills Conference
Hey, KU! There is a conference coming up that needs your assis-
tance in representing our great community. Its the No Frills Conference!
A team has been busy hammering out all the details for this February
3-4 event, but there are still positions on the team to be lled. What is
No Frills? It is a business meeting for about 60 campus residence hall
associations coming from seven different states and parts of Canada. It
is the second of two annual conferences for the Universitys Association
of University Residence Halls (AURH). At No Frills, all the entertain-
ment and extra programming is taken away, and representatives from
those schools complete the necessary business of the MACURH region,
which incorporates much of the Midwest.
So where does our conference team come in? Well, these rep-
resentatives need to eat and sleep. While it may seem like a simple
enough task to reserve hotels for 150 people, theres the registration
process, hospitality, meetings, and transportation (just to name a few)
to consider. These 150 people may have never visited our beautiful
campus, so we will need volunteers to make sure they can nd their way
around our Union, campus, and city.
So, do you want to help? We have several committee chair posi-
tions open and spots for committee members and volunteers. If youre
interested, please email Julie Carey at jcarey@ku.edu, take an active
leadership role in the University, and gain a greater understanding of the
workings of university student housing.
--Julie Carey
Ellsworth
November 12th, Ellsworth will have a ping
pong tournament with a $25 prize. Also, an EA sport
tournament will be held at the same time from 6-9 p.m.
Snacks and refreshments will be served for all in Ells-
worths lobby.
Ellsworth is planning a Club-Ells, which
will occur during the month of November. Club-
Ells will include music, dancing, food, and mock-tails, non-
alcoholic beverages. A talent show open to all types of acts
will be held to give away prizes (Ipod Nano and others.)

Oliver
Residents of Oliver have recently been out and
about participating in a successful touch football tourna-
ment (congrats 10th oor winners!), as well as taking
ownership over the community by painting a tropical
beach mural on the 7th oor (it looks great ladies!) Our
partnership with the Writers Roost, which provides help
to students on Sunday, Monday, and Wednesday nights
from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm, has been successful, and we look forward to
continuing this service in the spring semester.
So, what can residents of Oliver expect in the near future? The
council will also be hosting a Laguna Beach Finale party featuring
Laguna Beach Trivia, prizes, and of course, Laguna appropriate food.
To round out the semester of events, the hall council is hoping to host
a dodge ball tournament, a karaoke night, and perhaps go a little crazy
and host an academic bee! We are always looking for interested stu-
dents to join us for hall council on Sunday nights at 8:00 pm to help us
continue to plan and provide fun, educational activities here in Oliver!
--Natalie Timson
The Templin and Lewis hall council
participated in chalking, Hall Macabre,
Halloween in the Halls, and a fund
raiser for Unicef. Hall Macabre is a
decorating competition held between the
oors of Templin and Lewis during Hal-
loween.

JAYPLAYERS
My roommate junior year was a cre-
ative money-maker, to say the least. She
would pay for her portion of the rent
(all $300) by selling items on eBay. She
sold anything, from board games and
clothes to makeup, candles and elec-
tronics. And she found her merchan-
dise everywhere. Sometimes she found
an item at a garage sale, sometimes it
came from a dusty box in her moms at-
tic. And sometimes she bought the item
on eBay, banking on the possibility she
could sell it for more. I distincly re-
member one morning when she woke
up before sunrise to buy tickets over
the phone for a Britney Spears concert
in Phoenix. She posted the tickets on
eBay the day before the show and sold
them for twice their original price. As I
watched my roommate make money in
pjs from the computer in her bedroom,
I couldnt help but feel a little envious,
(I worked as a banquet server and mak-
ing the same amount of money took me
hours of backbreaking labor). Sure, her
business came with a few drawbacks.
Her room was constantly full of clutter,
packaging tape, boxes and labels. But
those online sales efforts paid off the
rent every month.
If you think youd like to try an alter-
native to bussing tables and bagging
groceries, you dont have to go to such
extremes as my old roommmate. Sim-
ply check out Kathryn Andersons story
about how to earn cash without hold-
ing down a real job. Hey, even if mom
and dad do write you a rent check every
month, Im sure you wont have any
trouble nding a place to spend that
extra cash.

Movie times
I reached in the locker grabbed the
Spanish y/ I put it with the monkey
mixed it in the cup/ Went over to the
girl Yo baby, whats up
Any Beastie Boys fan would know
those lines. Whats less-known is the
denition of Spanish y, an ancient
aphrodisiac, the mechanics of which are
decidedly un-sexy. According to www.
spanish-y.edog.org, the y is actually
a beetle that secretes a chemical called
cantharadin when frightened. When in-
gested and passed through by humans,
cantharadin causes genital itching and
swelling mistaken by Europeans 500
years ago to be arousal.
The myths and science behind aph-
rodisiac edibles often clash: foods are
considered aphrodisiacs only because
of shape or tradition, not because of
any proven biochemical effect. Cynthia
Akagi, associate professor of health and
education, says that the only proven
aphrodisiac is yohimbine, an extract
from the bark of an African tree. How-
ever, any food used during sexual in-
teraction could add to the experience,
she says.
Lists of aphrodisiacs can be found
anywhere from cookbooks to health
Web sites. Heres the story behind ve
of the most common ones.

Avocados
The avocado got the aphrodisiac
distinction based on looks. The fruit
grows in pairs on trees, and accord-
ing to an article in the London Times,
was called ahuacuatl by the Aztecs
testicle tree. The androgynous food
also imitates a womans softness and
curves and genitals. (Slice one in half,
remove the pit, and take a look.)
In addition to sexy looks, most aphro-
disiacs have health benets. In her book
Natures Aphrodisiacs, author Nancy
Nickell writes that most aphrodisiacs
provide nutrients that keep the repro-
ductive system functioning. The avoca-
dos one of them: Its a good source of
potassium vitamins C and E, and ribo-
avin, according to www.avocado.org.
Chocolate
Chocolates got a lot of street
cred. A mainstay of Valentines
Day and repentant boyfriends
everywhere, it has been
used as a food for lovers
since its development by
the Aztecs and Maya thou-
sands of years ago. These
ancient civiliza-
tions reserved
chocolate drinks
for priests and
kings, accord-
ing to The
True History
of Chocolate, by late an-
thropologist
Sophie Coe. The book traces
the scientic name for the
cocoa tree,
theobrama cacao, to
the Greek food of
the gods. In early
2005, researchers
at the San Raffaele
Hospital in Milan found t h a t
women who eat chocolate daily have
a stronger sex drive than those who
dont.
Oysters
Oysters are slippery, exotic and hard
to open an excellent sex metaphor in
a tightly clamped shell. Ancient Romans
sent slaves to the English shores to
gather them, according to an article in
the Detroit Free Press, and would also
pay for them by their weight in gold.
Oysters are considered representative
of female genitalia. They also contain a
lot of zinc. Sexual expert and therapist
Ava Cadell says that zinc releases tes-
tosterone, the most powerful sex hor-
mone. She says testosterone, when
released in men and women,
makes them more aggres-
sive sexually.

Raspberries and
Strawberries
Fruit and owers have
always symbolized sex. Stare
at a Georgia OKeefe long
enough and youll start
to blush, and slang
is full of fruits in-
uence what
do you think
of when you
hear melons?
Raspberries and
strawberries are two classic
aphrodisiacs. Theyre acces-
sible, nutritious, and erotic
the deep purple and bright
red are stimulating on their own.
According to a study published
in the Journal of Medicinal Food,
these berries inhibit the growth of 12
different bacteria and a strain of yeast.
A Creighton Medical School study in
2004 found that the berries are rich in
anthocyanin, a powerful antioxidant.
The chocolate-covered strawberry, that
double-whammy companion of cham-
pagne and romance, is a great way to
maximize the berrys aphrodisiac abili-
ties.
Bananas
No aphrodisiac list is complete with-
out a phallic symbol. Like cucumbers,
carrots, asparagus and zucchini, a ba-
nana is terric phallic symbol, an aph-
rodisiac thats anything but subtle. Dr.
Cadell says that bananas have signi-
cant enzymes and nutrients that cre-
ate arousal. She says bananas speci-
cally have bufotenine, an enzyme thats
linked to increased condence, happi-
ness and libido. Easy to get and fairly
cheap, the potassium-rich fruit is a vi-
sual and nutritional aphrodisiac.
Aphrodisiacs have been a part of
countless cultures, and a subject for
hundreds of studies. To study aphrodisi-
acs is to study history, biology, psychol-
ogy and romance. Although avocadoes,
bananas, berries, chocolate and oysters
havent been proven to make sex bet-
ter, they are good for you. And theyre
just a tiny fraction of the aphrodisiacs
out there: as family practice physician
Cynthia Mervis says in her book Love
Potions: A Guide to Aphrodisiacs and
Sexual Pleasures, anything can be an
aphrodisiac, from candles to lingerie
to marijuana its all in what you
make of it.

S
erver
of the week:
What do six hours and ve
phone numbers equal? Well,
last Saturday it was just an-
other night of waiting tables
at Chilis Grill and Bar for Jaci
Grimes, Lincoln, Neb., se-
nior. After serving for a year
and a half, Grimes says shes
been hit on more times than
she can remember. She does,
however, remember the worst
line she ever got. After nish-
ing his dessert, a customer left
Grimes a note on his receipt
saying, Youre sweeter than
the chocolate you brought
me.
Yeah, Grimes and her co-
workers still get a laugh out
of that one.
When she isnt getting hit
on, Grimes says she loves the
serving atmosphere, not to
mention Chilis chicken ranch
sandwich.

It was freshman year in Ellsworth
hall and Bethany Hess was strapped for
cash. When a couple of friends planned
a spontaneous weekend road trip to
Madison, Wisc., Hess had to do some
prudential thinking. The Barrington, Ill.
senior, was in no
position to strum an
acoustic guitar on
the corner of 9
th
and
Mass. streets. So
without musical tal-
ent, whats a broke
girl to do?
Hess held an im-
promptu garage
sale. Without a
garage, her dorm
room sufced. Hess
sold CDs, movies
and clothing. In less
than 30 minutes, she
made her dough: $50 for gas and beer.
She says she could have made more
if shed sold her microwave, which be-
came a hot ticket item even though it
was not for sale.
The marketing was easy, according
to Hess, who never considered making
a yer. Instead, she simply told two or
three dorm mates and let the chips fall
where they may. They fell in her favor,
and they can for you too.
Money does not grow on trees, but
you can nd it lurking on and around
the hill. Thats right. Theres money to be
found and it can be yours for free. Con-
sider these fast-money options from
Lawrence businesses that turn a prot
from handing you cash.
Sell yourself
That is, sell your plasma. ZLB Plasma
Services on 816 W. 24
th
Street will pay
cash for a little bit of blood. After a four-
hour screening exam, nurses will plug
you in and extract your plasma, the liq-
uid component of blood.
A rst time donor earns $25. After
that, ZLB bases payment on your body-
weight. The heavier you are, the more
beer money youll earn. More impor-
tantly, youll be saving lives.
Donors must weigh at least 110 pounds
and be at least 18 years old. The initial
consultation takes
around two hours,
so plan ahead. The
plasma-extracting
process takes an
hour, during which
time youll relax in a
cushy recliner.
Amelia Crowl,
Emporia sopho-
more, donates plas-
ma twice a week.
She rakes in about
$200 per month.
Crowl says
selling plasma
makes ends meet. She uses the cash for
beer, gas and food. In that order.
According to Crowl, the side effects
are minimal. She has experienced light-
headedness, but she says if she keeps
hydrated its no big deal. But the scars
on my arms kind of make me look like a
heroin junkie, she says.
Clean your closet
Simplify your wardrobe and pay for
Burrito King by selling your clothes. Ari-
zona Trading Company, 734 Mass. St.,
buys pre-loved clothing from hungry
kids like you. By revamping your closet,
youll earn 35 percent of ATCs selling
price. If you shrunk your blazer in the
dryer and ATC sells it for $30, youll
walk with $10.
Corey Sievers, manager at ATC, says
regulars come in monthly. One man,
who regularly sells vintage belt buckles,
walked with about $100 recently. Siev-
ers says you wont make a living off
selling to ATC, but you can make a few
bucks here and there.
Dayna Wise, Colorado Springs senior,
recently made about $150 at Arizona
Trading Company. She says the cash
eased the headache of holiday shopping
and afforded her some new clothes.
The thrift store works seasonally,
so take bring only your unwanted fall
and winter apparel. Sievers says they
want current mens and womens ca-
sual styles, and items must be in very
good condition. Vintage pieces are
accepted,but Sievers says the store is
very selective and 75 to 80 percent of
their merchandise is newer items.
Also check out Lasting Impressions,
a consignment shop on 711 West 23
rd

Street. Manager, Vicki Turner welcomes
a wide range of items. The shop accepts
mens, womens and childrens apparel
in good condition. She says clothing
should be current styles and a maxi-
mum of three years old. The store also
consigns home dcor, jewelry, shoes
and accessories.
Lasting Impressions will consign your
clothes for about a third of an items
original price. After an item is sold,
youll earn 40 percent of the sale.
The store sees about 300 items each
day, so make sure your goods are
freshly laundered and on hangers, says
Turner. Bring in your clothes Monday
through Saturday between 10 a.m. and
2 p.m. for extra cash.
Recycle your music
Take your old Ricky Martin CDs, to
Love Garden Sounds on 936 Mass.
Street. For almost 16 years, Love Gar-
den has bought and sold previously
loved (or hated) CDs and vinyl records.
Kory Willis, founding father and co-
owner, says music lovers often listen
to a certain musician for a while then
move on to something else. Willis says
selling used albums is a perfect source
of cash in a college town.
Rents due, time to kick in for the
keg, he says.
Willis says an average mass market
CD with in its jewel case with full art-
work usually earns you $4. If the store
already has numerous copies of your
CD on shelf, youll receive less.
The starting price for a vinyl record is
$1, but rare or popular albums can earn
you much more.
Willis says Love Garden is fair. Were
not out to scalp anyone. We all live here.
I dont want anyone to take a swing at
me.
He adds that condition is very impor-
tant. And hes continuously perplexed
by the way some people treat their
CDs. People have tried to sell him CDs
splashed with Coca-Cola that look like
theyve been stomped on a few times.
Word to the wise: leave your destroyed
albums at home.
Also try CD Tradepost, wholl not only
buy your old CDs, but also give cash
for video games and gaming systems.
Check out one of their two Lawrence lo-
cations on 4000 W. 6
th
St. and 2540 S.
Iowa St., or surf their inventory from
home at www.cdtradepost.com.
Clean out the bookshelves
When youre too deep in the semester
to sell off textbooks at Jayhawk Book-
store, take a look at your other books.
The Dusty Bookshelf, 708 Mass. St.,
buys your old books for 30 percent of the
selling price. A typical hardcover will be
resold for $6 to $12, which means youll
walk with $1.80 to $3.60 for just one
copy of Huckleberry Fin. Youve read it
ve times anyway.
Again, condition is important. Store
manager, Shannon Jones, says books
with heavy writing, highlighting or
missing pages arent accepted. They
will take your English books, literature,
philosophy, childrens books and non-
ction. Jones says they love art history
and antique books, for which youll earn
the highest dollar.
Earning a dime is pretty easy here in
Lawrence. Stop searching under couch
cushions, and sell the stuff you dont
use. Then go buy a case of cold ones to
celebrate the end of your nancial des-
peration.

I

|Jayplay 11.10.05
In the fall semester of my freshman
year, I cheated on a test in an introduc-
tory political science class. It was here
at KU, in one of Budig Halls cavernous
lecture halls, where I casually glanced
at a few of the answers given by a girl
seatedinfrontofme.Buttherewaslittle
reason for me to do so: I was prepared
for thetest;Ienjoyedtheclass;andIhad
no clear evidence that the girl was well-
versed in constitutional law. But I did it
anyway.
Was it the simple opportunity that
drove me to cheat? Fear of failure or
pressurefrom myparents? Whatever the
reason,Im certainlynotthefrstcollege
student who has cheated. A nationwide
studyofacademic misconductpublished
this year byDonMcCabeofRutgers Uni-
versity found that nearly 70 percent of
the more than 50,000 college students
surveyed had cheated in one form or
another during the previous year. Addi-
tionally,closetoone-quarter ofthesestu-
dentsadmittedtocheatingonatestand
halfofthemadmittedtocheatingheavily
ononeor morewrittenassignments.
Similar numbers are to be found in
an unpublished survey of 1,250 ran-
domly-selected KU students.This study,
conducted in the late 1990s, found that
23 percent of students here had given
answers to another student during an
exam, 22 percent had copied answers
from another students exam and22per-
cent had knowingly committed plagia-
rism. More importantly, the study found
halfofallstudentssurveyedagreedwith
thestatement,Itisrelativelyeasytoget
awaywithacademicdishonestyatKU.
Got to admit, its not getting better
Cheatingincollegeis nothingnew,but
itis becomingmoreprevalent:McCabes
study reveals that between 1963 and
1993 the number of students who ad-
mitted to unauthorized collaboration on
coursework increasedfrom 11percentto
49percent.Andtoday,cheatingisevolv-
ingasmuchas itisincreasing.Students
still copy each others homework and
bringnotestoexams,butnewtechnolo-
gieshaveallowedthem tocheatinmore
elaborate and less detectable ways.The
Internet,whichcanalsobeavaluableac-
ademictool,has becomeareadilyacces-
sibleconduitfor cut-and-pasteplagiarism
and unauthorized student collaboration.
Text messaging on cell phones allows
students to talk with others discreetly
while taking a test and camera phones
can be used to take pictures of tests for
the future beneft of others. Graphing
calculators can be programmed to re-
tain formulas for math exams (if youre
interestedindoingthis,anOct.4column
from the Kansan opinion page provides
a complete and succinct explanation of
howtodoso).
Out of these, the Internet has quickly
establisheditselfas themostproblemat-
ic. McCabessamestudyfoundthatwhile
only 10 percent of students in 1999 had
plagiarized information found on the In-
ternet,by2005thatnumber hadrisento
nearly 40 percent. Moreover, more than
three-quarters of the students surveyed
saidcut-and-pasteplagiarism wasnota
serious issue.

Eodice,director oftheKUWritingCenter.
Asmembers ofwhatshecallstheNap-
ster Generation, students might view

Higher expectations, more cheating
While a legitimate misunderstanding
of plagiarism or academic misconduct
mayaccountfor someinstances ofcheat-
ing, these are often a minority. So why
else do students cheat?The reasons are
asvariedas theyaremany,rangingfrom
simpledesperationtocomplexeconomic
trendsthatarefar lesstangible.
Moreoftenthannot,studentsresortto
cheatingwhentheyreunpreparedfor the

duetolazinessor procrastination,alack
of time or diffculty understanding the

mationonlythefnalgradecounts.
But, like it or not, grades do count
And they count for a lot
Gradesareheldsohighly,says Gina
Gay, Leawood sophomore. They deter-
minewhatschools youcangetinto.
Its true: Most of the Universitys pro-
fessional Schools require a minimum
2.5 GPA in required classes for admis-
sion.Moreoftenthannot,however,ones
grades must be much higher. Competi-
tiveness and a fnite number of spaces
force these schools to generally accept
only those students whose GPAs far

Spring2004,for example,thenewlyad-

ment. While students with GPAs that
barely qualify still have a chance to get
intotheseprofessionalschools,theyare
severely disadvantaged in the applica-
tionprocess.
Grades become even more important,
and admissions all the more cutthroat,
whenstudents applytograduateschools.

Some of the students who apply to
graduate programs may do so because
of a recent economic trend known as
credentialism,defnedbydictionary.com
as anoveremphasisondiplomasor de-
grees in giving jobs or conferring social
status. These students may think that
theywontbeabletosucceedprofession-
ally without an advanced degree, says

Wrong to Get Ahead.
Students areanxiousinmakingitto-

Credentials have also led college de-

rather,theyhavebecomeaslipofpaper

the college degree has been degraded,
some students now feel that obtaining

The primary victims of this trend may
be the Universitys general education
courses. Because undergraduate de-
greesonlyrequirearound30credithours
in a given feld, the majority of courses

but in a diverse range of felds.The os-
tensible purpose of such a system is to
combat the idea of college as job train-
ing by requiring classes needed for a
well-rounded education, a principle the
administrationvehementlydefends.
The value of those classes is that
youre producing whole people, says
provostDavidShulenburger.Werenota

aresult,studentsaremorelikelytocheat

2005KUgraduate.
In addition to their marginalized repu-
tation among students, general educa-
tionclassesalsooftensuffer fromamore
pronounced catalyst for cheating: large
classrooms. Because so many students
are required to take them, these classes
are often consigned to the Universitys
largest lecture halls, rooms in Budig,
Wescoe and elsewhere that rival movie
theatres in size. Relative anonymity,
closeproximitytoothersandaviolently
skewed student/professor ratio are all
factorsthathavemadetheseclassrooms

In big lecture halls, teachers dont

Chicago sophomore.You can get away

Administrators fght back
While cheating is prevalent at KU, the
powers-that-be arent turning a blind
eye. As outlined in the University Sen-
ates rules and regulations handbook,
studentswhoarecaughtcheatingfacea
number ofpenalties,rangingfromasim-
ple reprimand to expulsion from KU. In
eachcase,thestudentsacademichistory
istakenintoaccount.Studentswhohave
beencaughtcheatingmorethanonceare
more likely to receive harsher penalties
thanfrst-timeoffenders.
Thissystem,however,isntperfect.The
University lacks a central clearinghouse
for mattersofacademicmisconduct,and
violationsareinsteadhandledwithinthe
school or department in which they oc-
curred. These violations are then fled
only within that school or department.
Conceivably, a student could be caught
cheating multiple times but would only
face harsh penalties if caught cheating
repeatedly in one class, department or
school.
Compounding the problem is a gen-
eral reluctance among faculty members
to report students who have cheated in
their classes. Don McCabes 2005 report
foundthat44percentoffacultysurveyed

Integrity is not a conditional word. It

as evidence and allows faculty to take
fewer risks in pursuing plagiarism, ex-
plains Eodice, also the Universitys tur-
nitin.com systems administrator.
Used by KU since 2002, turnitin.com
is a subscription-based search engine
with more than 4.5 billion pages of text
in its database. Faculty members who
choose to submit their students pa-
pers, which the system then compares
to the others already in the database,
searching for similarities. When similar
passages or sentences are found, they
are highlighted using a color-coded
system. But because turnitin.com high-
lights both cited and uncited similari-
ties, it is up to the professor or instruc-
tor to determine whether plagiarism
has occurred. The system retains every
submitted paper for future use.
But though she plays a central role in
the Universitys use of turnitin.com, Eo-
dice prefers prevention to punishment.
Im a frm believer that we can deter
plagiarism at the front end, without po-
licing it at the back end, she says.
Because most plagiarism is the result
of procrastination, Eodice thinks it can
best be avoided through a more active
and involved writing process, one that
includes both students and professors.
If a high level of professor involvement
is impracticable, Eodice urges students
who struggle with writing to visit the KU
Writing Center for help. Students who
do visit the center dont need to engage
in plagiarism, she says, because they
have instead engaged in a process.
A similar measure that can be taken
to prevent plagiarism and cheating is
the implementation of an honor code.
These codes are often statements
signed by students that promise hon-
est work and acknowledge the jurisdic-
tion of a governing body in cases that
violate the code. Because cheating has
become such a large problem nation-
wide, more and more universities are
employing honor codes to promote
academic integrity and, by default, pre-
vent cheating. They are also having suc-
cess in doing so. McCabes study found
universities that employ honor codes
generally have a level of cheating be-
tween one-third to one-half lower than
that of universities that do not employ
the codes.
KU lacks a
university-wide honor code
I wouldnt have any objection to an
honor code, Shulenburger says, but it
would have to start with students. You
cant force an honor code on a group of
people.
Steps were taken, though, in late
2003 and early 2004 that could have
led to the establishment of such a uni-
versity-wide honor code. Based on a
recommendation from the University
Councils Academic Procedures and Pol-
icies Committee, the Student Senates
Executive Committee sought to estab-
lish a task force that would oversee the
development of an honor code by mod-
eling those already employed by other
universities as models. Ultimately,
however, the code never materialized.
According to the recorded minutes of a
Feb. 3, 2004 Student Senate Executive
Committee meeting, a committee mem-
ber suggested that it might be benef-
cial for a new Honor Code to be initiated
by students rather than imposed on stu-
dents by Governance.
Honor codes do tend to be more ef-
fective when they are student-initiated
and enforced by peers, says Callahan,
author of The Cheating Culture.
Its different if its imposed from
above, he says. An honor code needs
to be more than rules in a handbook
it should be a social contract.
Even though the University doesnt
have such a code, the KU School of
Business employs their own unique
honor codes.
Established in the late 1990s, the busi-
ness schools code requires its students,
both majors and non-majors, to sign an
honor statement before each exam. The
statement is a promise that the student
has not received any unauthorized aid
on the exam nor is aware of any other
students receiving unauthorized aid.
In addition to the honor statement,
the school also established two separate
governing bodies to enforce the code.
Comprised of students and three facul-
ty members, the schools honor council
is an advisory and legislative body that
produces and modifes the codes poli-
cies and procedures. The schools honor
court, meanwhile, enforces these poli-
cies. Composed of student jurors and a
faculty judge, the court hears cases of
academic misconduct that occur within
the school and, when necessary, metes
out punishment.
But because there are punitive and
authoritative elements, it is not purely
an honor code, says Murray Levin, pro-
fessor of business.
In a true honor code, he says, ev-
ery member of that community is duty-
bound to shout about infractions and
declare they wont tolerate it, as per
the rules of a self-governing social con-
tract. A code is not truly one of honor,
Levin says, unless all community mem-
bers are of equal status and united in a
desire to uphold their collective ideals.
Learn for yourself
As is often the case, I wasnt caught
when I cheated in my political science
class. And, aided by the few illicitly ac-
quired answers, I got an A on the test
and, ultimately, an A in the class. In the
end, though, its not about the grades
you take away from your time in col-
lege its what youve learned thats
important. No one forced us to come to
KU; we can stay or leave if we choose
to. But while were here, we may as well
take advantage of the opportunity and
learn something.
If youre learning as an end, asks
Callahan, whats the point of cheat-
ing?

AND
A
Q
By Rory Flynn, Jayplay writer
Brother Ali is one of the most lyrically powerful emcees
in hip-hip music today. His aggressive nature and articulate
writing show strong in both his albums and as well as in his
live performances. Greatly inuenced by the forefathers of
hip-hop as well as classic, golden-age soul music, Brother Ali
is a template for hip-hop artists through his real and often
brutally honest lyricism. A converted Muslim, he emerged
onto the scene from Minneapolis, Minn. In the midst of a
major tour, he took the time to talk with me about hip-hop,
the Midwest and Islamic religion.
RF: Who were some of your greatest inuences musically
and spiritually that made you the artist and person you
are today?
BA: For hip-hop there were KRS-One, Big Daddy Kane, Melle
Mel, Slick Rick among others. I was also greatly inuence
by soul music like Stevie Wonder and Donny Hathaway.
RF: When did you rst start rapping and writing lyrics and
what was the scene like in Minneapolis at the time?
BA: It was around 84 and 85 through break dancing that
I rst started rapping. There was really no clear point
but more of a progression. I was really rst inspired by
Grandmaster Flash and Melle Mel. I started writing lyr-
ics in 89 and 90 and I recorded my rst song in 1990. It
wasnt until 93 I moved to Minneapolis from Michigan.
There were a lot more DJs than emcees at the time in
Minneapolis.
RF: Can you explain the signicance of the metaphor in the
title of your album Shadows on the Sun.
BA: It comes from my thinking that humans are very pow-
erful and excellent. And that under the worst of circum-
stances you can see true people. Its like when humans
are stripped down to the raw you can see the true es-
sence of humanity. I feel that humans are most different
from each other when they have all of these luxuries in
todays society.
RF: Was working with Ant (producer for hip-hop group At-
mosphere) on Shadows on the Sun a perfect t for you
and had you worked with him previously?
BA: I had worked with him a little before Shadows on the
Sun. I initially planed on having Ant produce a third of the
album, doing a third of the production myself and having
another producer work on the other third. But when we
got together it was perfect. I have had him produce ev-
erything I have released since.
RF: When did you rst convert to the Islamic religion and
what attracted you to the religion?
BA: I rst became Muslim in 92 or 93. I liked how the Ko-
ran was not exclusive. It is one of three books written for
everyone.
RF: Do you draw inspiration for your music from the Islamic
religion?
BA: Not intentionally, at least not anymore. I released my
album Rights of Passage with an attitude of that I would
seek approval from fellow Muslims. However, in retro-
spect, it made the music kind of awkward and self-righ-
teous.
RF: Do you ever have time to check out live shows for your-
self whenever you are not busy touring or making music?
Who have you been impressed by?
BA: I recently saw Common and he was incredible. I always
try to catch the Roots. Erykah Badu, Public Enemy, Toki
Write. I recently had the pleasure of interviewing Slick
Rick in Minneapolis, which was amazing.
RF: What music have you been diggin on recently?
BA: There is this new release from I Self Devine called Self
Destruction. I have been listening to Little Brother, Jill
Scott, anything from MF Doom. And I also feel obligated
to say this but I say it in all sincerity, the new Atmosphere
album is amazing.
Brother Ali is performing at the Granada on Friday, Nov.
11 with Blueprint and P.O.S on the Pour Me Another Tour.
The show starts at 9 p.m., and tickets are $15.

The boner
Hailing from Minneapolis, Minn., Atmosphere is one
of the rst hip-hop groups to put the Midwest on the
map. First formed in 1997, Atmosphere consists of
emcee and lyricist Slug and producer Ant. Their witty
lyrics and innovative beats have taken them on tours
across the globe and have earned them respect from
music listeners everywhere. I talked to Ant on the
phone recently after the rst of two sold-out shows at
the legendary Fillmore theatre in San Francisco.
RF: How are things going on the Pour Me Another
Tour?
Ant: Things are great. It has been cool meeting new
people and attracting new audiences.
RF: I have heard your latest release, You Cant Imagine
How Much Fun Were Having, described as a throw-
back to old school hip-hop with some of your most
progressive beats to date. How would you say the
production is different than on your past albums?
Ant: I feel that I never truly accomplished all of my
goals for the album but I really wanted to make a
noisy record. I wanted to put a different twist of ev-
erything into it.
RF: Who are some of the producers or artists who have
inuenced the music you have produced over the
years?
Ant: Certainly Public Enemy is one. The Bomb Squad,
Dre, Larry Smith, Timbaland.
RF: Where do you feel most comfortable producing
your music?
Ant: I usually work out of my basement. I used to be
nervous when I went out to professional studios but
having the ability to produce at home allows me to
be comfortable and try new things.
RF: What do you use to produce your beats?
Ant: I work with a 4-track (recorder).
RF: Have you ever worked with any home production
software such as ProTools?
Ant: I really dont even touch computers. Maybe Ill
catch up someday but I dont even have an email
address. I think ProTools is both good and bad for
music. It allows for more people to release music but
it also creates more and more bull shit. Everyone is
trying to get famous and really not putting enough
time into making music.
RF: After you released your third album, God Loves
Ugly, you had major record labels such as Sony,
Interscope, and Warner Brothers out to sign you.
However you decided to release Sevens Travels on
punk label Epitaph. Was this a hard decision for you
and Slug?
Ant: Well, I feel that I was at rst nave to what was
going on. I really left it up to Slug. Atmosphere is
all about the Slug show. Epitaph was really genuine
and beautiful people so we chose to go with them.
RF: Is Ant just a moniker short for your name Anthony?
Have you had the nickname since you were young?
Ant: I rst started being called Ant in the early 90s by
some people I was making music with. I dont think
anyone should really come up with their own moni-
kers or nicknames.
Both Atmosphere and Brother Ali are per-
forming at Granada, Friday, November 11 with
Blueprint and P.O.S on the Pour Me Another

Giant bottles of cheap, effective malt liquor
Problem: Tuition bills and a habit of
buying post-ironic t-shirts at Target have
weakened your bank account, yet your
desire to risk serious liver damage re-
mains strong.
Solution 1 (impractical): Quit drink-
ing; consider (but do
not commit to) a rigor-
ous exercise regimen.
Solution 2 (practical):
Buy a 40-ounce bottle
of beer.
Solution 2 addendum
(even more practical):
Buy two.
Cheap and totemic,
the 40 offers an evening
of drinking thats easier
on the wallet than near-
ly everything else available in the liquor
store (Franzia boxed wine being the
only notable challenger). The beer avail-
able to buy in the 40-ounce, glass-bot-
tled format is of two types: regular beer
(generally domestic) and malt liquor,
the latter being the more celebrated of
the two. Malt liquor is brewed some-
what differently from beer (less hops,
more corn and fermentable sugars) and
has a higher alcohol percent by volume,
generally between 6 and 9 percent.
While the 40 does suffer from a decid-
edly negative image (well-documented
in the Wayans brothers 1996 neo-classi-
cal semi-hit Dont Be a Menace to South
Central While Drinking Your Juice in
the Hood), its comparative advantages
are undeniable. With a standard market
cost of between $2 and
$3 depending on the
brand, 40s are about
as cheap as a gallon of
gas.
Its a lot of booze for
not a lot of money,
says Jon Franklovigli,
Aberdeen, S.D., senior.
And though there is no
statistical evidence, 40s
may confer an elevated
social status and an
increased sense of self-worth on those
who drink them.
Its pretty impressive to be walking
around with a big bottle of beer, says
Alex Herman, Hays junior. It makes
you feel more manly than people who
drink their beer from a tiny 12-ounce
can or bottle.
Similar to their imposing size, 40s
possess a greater novelty than most
regular beers. With their amboyant la-
bel designs and (usually) animal-based
nomenclature, such as King Cobra and
Pit Bull, 40s are as good for a laugh as
they are for a hangover.
Pete Bruz Brusyo, a mortgage bro-
ker from Basking Ridge, N.J., enjoys
40s and their novelty so much that he
began collecting them when he was a
student at Rutgers University. His col-
lection is now the worlds largest and
includes more than 400 unique brands
and varieties.
Its been the largest for a while and
its only getting bigger, he says.
Brusyo says many of the bottles in
the collection were originally purchased
during road trips in college, as 40s vary
in availability by region. As his collec-
tion grew, he began browsing Web sites
to seek out more unique bottles but
found the sites to be of little help.
So he started his own, 40ozmaltliquor.
com, now the Internets largest site ded-
icated to 40s and malt liquor. The site
has more than 1,200 registered mem-
bers, collectively known as the 40-
ounce Crew, who help Brusyo add to
his collection.
If forced to say something negative
about the 40, one could concede that
its taste isnt all that spectacular. At rst
taste, malt liquor can be called mildly
revolting at best. But in the end, results
are results.
At the beginning its OK because its
cold, but when its warm it gets kind
of skunky, says Herman, by the end
you cant taste it because youre kind of
drunk.

Ever wonder what really turns your
partner on? For Lauren Leonard, Plym-
outh, Minn., freshman, its her back. She
says her back is her favorite place be-
cause it feels good when rubbed. There
are certain places on our bodies that,
when kept in mind, make the sexual
experience better. To fully please your
mate, keep these spots in mind while
doing the deed.
11 places sure to make
your man tingle
1) The melon: Why not start at the top?
Run your ngers through his hair,
massage his scalp and touch his face.
Pamela Lister, sex and marriage writer
for Redbook magazine, says that any
kind of relaxing, sensual or even play-
ful tease of this sort is called a bridge
to desire. The more bridges, the bet-
ter.
2) Ears: Continue to tease him by licking
the inside of his ear. This may sound
like a wet willy, but if done correctly,
it can really re him up. Lister says
make like a summer breeze and blow
around the edge of his ears. Tuck little
kisses behind them.
3) Chops: Graze your lips against his.
4) Neck: Use your mouth to suck the skin
around his neck. Lister says a little kiss
or nibble on the neck can segue into
some serious foreplay. But dont do it
too hard, lest you leave a hickey.
5) Back: You can please your man while
hes face down too. Lister says to al-
ternate your nails and ngertips in
long strokes, little circles and teasing
skips to keep him guessing where
youll alight next.
6) Teets: Suck on them for a bit, then
blow lightly to really turn your guy
on. Changing the moisture from wet
to dry will send shockwaves through
his body. Amy Levine, sex expert, says
that nipples can be carnal command
centers. Because they are sometimes
neglected, they might be supersensi-
tive so Levine suggests you start out
gentle.
7) Palms: Follow the nipple nibble by
sucking his ngers. Lister says using
a blindfold may heighten the antici-
pation of your touch.
8) Happy trail: Follow his happy trail
south. Its a good guide. Lick in every
direction.
9) Inner thigh: Caress and kiss his inner
thigh. Go on, be a tease.
10) The big kahuna: If you want to turn
up the sexual volume, Lister says
to try caressing him wearing satin
gloves or sneaking under the covers
to stake out the new territory with
your mouth and tongue.
11) Tush: Its there, so use it to your full
advantage. Lister says that its built
for rough handling. Go ahead and
grab, pinch and dig in your nails. You
can even spank him if thats what you
think he really wants.
Women have their
special spots too
On her body, Dr. David Strovny, sex
correspondent, says there are 10 spots
to keep a woman happy.
1) Inner thigh: This area is sensitive for
women. Stroking and licking will re-
ally turn her on.
2) Knee: There are a lot of nerve endings
behind the knees so Strovny says to
utilize this area, but dont overdo it.
Gently nibbling the back of her knee
can be a great starter.
3) Booty: Some women like to have
their butts squeezed. Strovny believes
that some soft squeezing can help to
arouse her.
4) Neck: Sometimes, you dont even
have to touch her to get her excited.
Just blowing on the nape of her neck
can send goose bumps up and down
her body
5) Ears: Continuing with the no touch
tactic, Strovny says to whisper sweet
nothings into her ears. Saying erotic
things should really get her going.
6) Feet: Massaging or licking her feet
can be very enjoyable.
7) Wrists: Continue the foreplay by nib-
bling her wrists. She might even be
impressed that you know about this
sensitive spot.
8) Udders: Gently doing just about any-
thing to her nipples will get her ex-
cited. Strovny says that some woman
like it a bit rougher, so nd out what
she wants so you can please her
best.
9) Parking the limo: Searching for the
G-spot and working on all the areas
around it is one of the best ways to
heat up a night together. But if she
gets squirmy, Strovy says to make
sure that its because shes enjoying
it and not annoyed with you because
you arent pleasing her right.
10) The kissers: Strovny says that a
womans lips are the best place to
start. Kissing, sucking or biting can
usually lead to much more if done
correctly. Play with her lips to get her
tantalized.
And there you have it. The best spots
to touch on your partner. If you hit these
spots correctly, the experience will, ul-
timately, be better for you and the one
youre with. Go ahead and try all of
these out to see which ones best satisfy
your mate. The learning process will be
fun for both of you and youll also learn
how to make the most out of every sex-
ual opportunity.

Please send your questions

Jessica: Youre being mistaken for a
gay man because youre not hitting on
enough women the right way. Get your
sorry ass up and make contact! Initiate
conversation and buy them drinks. If
you want females, you need to associ-
ate with females. Escape from your ref-
uge, otherwise known as the bar, and
make it obvious what youre here for
without looking like a total jackass. If
theres a guy macking on a girl, chances
are hes not gay. If theres a guy mack-

Brian: I think you need to be more wor-
ried about the fact that you dont even
mention how you are doing with the
women. Consider bringing a girl to the
bars with you as a wing girl. Keep her
by your side at all times and tell her to
help you nd a girl. If that fails, use this

stone: ensuring yourself some poon-
tang later that night and keeping gay
guys at bay.

Im straight, but Im
always getting hit on
by gay guys at bars. Is
it possible to send out
a gay vibe? Im getting
sick of being mistaken
for being gay when I
want women! Joel,

Couple: Katie & Mark
Oh, it was a merry ol time in
Kansas City. Way back during
the time of the Renaissance Fes-
tival, two people. Mark Stock-
ham, Manhattan sophomore,
and Katie Bieber, Manhattan
freshman, were attending the
festival with different groups of
friends, when they rst crossed
each others path.The two had
never laid eyes on each other
before, but they say they had
heard tales of each other from
common friends. Once they -
nally met each other at the fes-
tival, they spent the entire day
together. Its been nearly a year
and Katie is still Marks bonny-
lass.

Brian: While going to bars and getting
tanked is something that people of all
ages do, trying to be a college student
is something only those who are in de-
nial will do. Get a life of your own and
you wont have any problem straying
away from things like writing into stu-
dent publications.
Jessica: Five-year plans are sexy. Heres
one example: Get a job. Go to grad
school. Establish a career. Make a down
payment on a home. Meet the love of
your life. Get married. Make babies.
Raise babies.
Im a recent graduate
of KU and Im sorely
missing the college
life. What are some
things I can do to
keep from constantly
searching for comfort
from college past-
times?

Brian: Its simple: If she doesnt like how
you dress, then she doesnt really like
much about you. Shes trying to form
you into who she wants you to be. Tell
her shes either gonna be with you in
your T-shirt and jeans or shell have to
nd some other guy to dress like her
own personal Barbie doll.
Jessica: Im sorry, Pete. It seems that
your girlfriend, soon to be ex-girlfriend,
is so insecure that she sees you as an ex-
tension of herself. Should you threaten
her reputation, then by George, youre
the fashion faux pas of the century ac-
cording to her. Shes so concerned with
what other people think that once you
started dating her, you became a reec-
tion of her and have been subjected to
such lame standards ever since. I beg of
you, Pete, before you invest in a cost-
ly new wardrobe to appease her, nd
someone who loves you in and out of
your T-shirts and jeans.
My girlfriend is always
giving me crap for not
dressing the way she
wants me to. Im ne
with how I look in T-
shirts and jeans. How
do I get her to lay off?

MOVIES
Proof, a tense, cerebral and dramatic
lm based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning
play by David Auburn, explores with
delicacy and depth a family of math-
ematical geniuses.
The lm stars Gwyneth Paltow as
Catherine, the incendi-
ary and aloof youngest
daughter of a modern
math genius, Robert,
played by the always-
fantastic Anthony Hop-
kins. Catherines older
sister, Claire, up-tight
yet well-intentioned, is
played by Hope Davis
and Jake Gyllenhaal
plays Hal, Roberts cute
math student. Its an
eclectic and small, yet
powerful cast.
Initially, the lm deals
with Catherines bitter
grief over Roberts sud-
den death, after he suffered for most of
his life with mental illness. The storys
plot focuses on Catherine and Hals
search through her fathers 103 note-
books, lled with dazzling math equa-
tions. But the more poignant plot line
follows her fear that she may have in-
herited her fathers mental illness. After
culling through the notebooks, the duo
stumbles upon a breakthrough proof.
One of the many intriguing questions
Proof raises is who the author of such
incredible work is and the strength it
takes someone to reach their true cre-
ative potential. This resonant lms po-
tency lies in its display of the vibrant
tension between Catherine and Robert
and questioning the impact of mental
illness on a persons work. The exten-
sive use of ashbacks adds a wonderful
layer to the plot and yet are often con-
fusing.
Paltrow truly shines in one of her raw-
est and most layered performances to
date. Anthony Hopkins
is phenomenal as the
brilliant father who is
plagued by doubt and
loss of mental control.
Gyllenhaal proves he is
more than a handsome
face, amply keeping
up with the celebrated
leads.
Although the lm is
intense, it has several
subtle and hilarious
jokes, which provide
welcome relief. This is a
beautifully-written lm,
especially during Cath-
erines closing mono-
logue. Proof demonstrates that even
mathematics, in its rigid language and
tiring execution, can be funny, thrilling
and heart-breaking.

Jarhead
Proof
In Kevin Wilmotts anti-war lm class
here at KU, we are taught the basic el-
ements of an anti-war lm: How does
the lm treat the enemy? Does the lm
discuss the moral implications of the
war? We also discuss different kinds of
war lm such as the war
is hell lm or war porn.
Going in to Jarhead, I was
ready with all of my new
knowledge of war lms to
really understand and clas-
sify it, according to the clas-
sic war lm model. I, like the
characters in the lm, was
left with nothing but disap-
pointment, because Jarhead
dees classic war lm clas-
sication. It is something
different. Powerful, brutal
and beautiful all rolled into
something that could have been dis-
tributed as a Marine Corps recruiting
video, but comes off as a surprisingly
unbiased account of a soldier just try-
ing to do what he was trained to do: kill
something.
Based on Anthony Swaffords 2003
memoir, Jarhead, centers on the experi-
ences of the author (played to perfection
by Jake Gyllenhall) and his military co-
horts, including his Staff Sergeant (Ja-
mie Foxx, reminding us why he won and
Oscar) and Swaffords best friend (Peter
Sarsgaard, reminding us that someday
he should), in the rst Gulf War. The title
Jarhead is the self-imposed nickname
of soldiers in the Marine Corps, and it
not only refers to their haircut but also
to the fact that these men are supposed
empty vessels like that of a jar. From ba-
sic training to the desert, Swafford, rst
questions, but then is embedded with,
a desire for war. At one point, a reporter
asks him why he ghts and after dispos-
ing the standard military responses, he
looks into the camera and says, Im 20
years old, and I was dumb enough to
sign a contract. He means
it. But then the rest of the
lm is a series of vignettes,
showing the soldiers, now
in a holding pattern, wait-
ing for the real war to be-
gin, just passing the time.
This section slows the lm
down considerably as the
soldiers patrol the desert
for nothing, play a football
game in their gas suits in
114-degree heat and slowly
lose their minds. The fact
that this section slows the
lm down is one of showing, not telling.
The audience feels the soldiers frustra-
tion. Director Sam Mendes doesnt just
tell us the waiting before the supposed
storm was torture on these young sol-
diers minds, he shows us. We want
them to go out and kill something just
to break their boredom.
As for classifying Jarhead, it deserves
a new category. Its a boys and their
toys war lm. One where the soldiers
watch Apocalypse Now to get pumped
up for war, one where they repeatedly
worship the rie they were give and ul-
timately, one where the boys have their
toys. Theyre all ready to go but they
arent allowed to use them, thereby
causing madness and the destruction
of that military dream, the desire to kill
for a cause.

Im sitting in the press box at Kaufman
Stadium in Kansas City. Its game two of
a three-game series between the Royals
and the Red Sox. The K, as the locals
call it, is empty. The grounds crew is wa-
tering the ineld, dragging it to immac-
ulately smooth perfection.
Im sitting next to people
whove proven themselves
in this business. Next to
beat writers and columnists
a room of people I aspire
to be like.
But looking around its
clear I can never really
be like them. As my glance
grazes the press box con-
tingent, its quite clear Im
different. I am one of only two women
there.
My thoughts linger on this for a mo-
ment, but no longer.
To me, its never really been as issue.
You see, growing up I wasnt exposed
to what society would consider a nor-
mal gender role. My mom worked with
power tools but took breaks to do the
laundry. My dad was a farmer but came
home every night to cook dinner.
Im the youngest of three girls. When
my dad realized he would never have
a son, he improvised. Thus my sisters
and I lived by the creed, Just because
youre a girl doesnt mean you have to
throw (or shoot or swing) like one. My
dad devoted equal attention to
instilling his love for sports in
all three of us. For some rea-
son, though, it really only stuck
with me.
While my sisters retreated to
boyfriends and Future Home-
makers of America, my dad
and I spent hours in the vacant
lot across the street from my
house, playing catch or having
batting practice. He pitched, I
hit and my black lab, Duke, played out-
eld. Our neighbors got used to seeing
us in the driveway at dusk, sneaking in
a game of 21 before the sun ducked
out of sight my dad covered in sweaty
dirt from a day in the elds and me in a
swim suit and mesh shorts, fresh from
a day at the city pool.
When the South Dakota winter set in,
we retreated to the garage where I prac-
ticed ball handling and what my dad
called quick hands. It was a lesson he
taught quite effectively by employing
one simple concept when a basketball
is ying at your head, you either catch it
or get hurt. I learned to catch it. Quick-
ly.
That quickness, Ive learned, is a vir-
tue. And while its true I can catch what-
ever my dad throws at me, being quick
now has taken on a whole new mean-
ing. In 20-some minutes, Ill board the
elevator and descend into the place
where my gender becomes my most
obvious feature the clubhouse. Yep, a
locker room, naked men and all, where
quickness now lies in how fast my eyes
can avert the nakedness surrounding
me.
Its an art really, working the club-
house, and while etiquette is under-
stood among baseball writers, I have
two self-imposed guidelines. One nd
a place in the clubhouse (usually the TV)
and focus my attention there. Two The
Pants Rule. For me to talk to a player
and ensure both of our comfort, pants
are the one necessary clothing item
(spandex underwear are sometimes ac-
ceptable and towels pass in group inter-
view situations).
My mom is so disturbed that my job
requires me to be near naked men, she
repeatedly asks, almost pleads, Dont
they have a different room or some-
thing you can go in?
No, mom. They denitely do not. Im
certain if she had known my dads mot-
to would turn into just because youre
a girl doesnt mean you have to stay
in the girls locker room, she wouldnt
have encouraged him so much.
But as I take notebook and recorder
in hand, Im so thankful she did. Walk-
ing to the elevator, I think again about
my tractor-driving, car-xing, casserole-
making dad. Out of all our competitions,
I can count on one hand the number
of times I beat him at anything. When
I was in high school, one of our drive-
way lessons turned into an impromptu
game of one on one. I remember my
mom sitting on the deck laughing as
her 56-year-old husband knocked her
16-year-old daughter to the asphalt with
a blocked shot.
Thats the thing about my dad he
could have put me in a dress and left
me inside with my dolls, resigned to the
fact he would never get to pass on his
patented jump hook to any of his kids.
But instead he took me to the farm. He
let me get my hands dirty. He didnt let
me win. He didnt assume I would like
Barbies more than baseball.
He didnt assign me a gender role, so
I never accepted one.
Now that Im in my last year of col-
lege and planning for a career in sports
journalism, I know there are countless
locker room scenes in my future. My
life will be one far removed from the
comfort of my driveway in small-town
middle-America.
But at Kauffman Stadium or Fenway
Park, in locker rooms and press boxes,
I always take my dad with me. Without
him, I could never have been so fear-
less. His love gives me the condence to
know that just because Im a girl doesnt
mean anything is out of my reach.
Of course, it also gave me a mean
jump shot.
