The Gift of Life

Jana Correa is just one of almost 500 student-athletes whom
youve probably never heard of, yet her entire life revolves around
her sport. Look beyond the Universitys celebrity athletes to discov-
er those passionate enough to dedicate themselves without the
motivation of fame and a lucrative future.
Myths may
discourage
donations
The organ transplant waiting list continues to
grow rapidly, but myths about donating stop peo-
ple from registering with the donor registry, said
Laura Schons, hospital and family services coor-
dinator for the Midwest Transplant Network.
The most common myths include stories that
emergency medical technicians wont save peo-
ples lives so there are more organs for transplants.
Or that donors cant have an open-casket funeral
or families are charged for the donations. All are
not true, Schons said.
Suzanne Muldrew, Overland Park freshman,
didnt register as a donor when she got her license.
She said she would only want family members to
receive her organs. She didnt want them going to
recipients who needed a new organ because they
purposely damaged their old one, such as her liver
going to an alcoholic.
People are placed on the waiting list for a vari-
ety of reasons, Schons said. Family members have
priority to the organs providing they match per-
fectly. But possible donors shouldnt assume their
organs would automatically be given to a specific
type of person.
People cannot be placed on the waiting list if
their organs have been damaged because of drugs
or alcohol. If somehow they get on a list, they will
be denied a transplant if the abuse is discovered,
Schons said.
Schons simply urges everyone to seek the truth
about donating before possibly denying someone
a life-saving match.
My concern is why people say no, Schons
said. If theyre saying no for reasons that arent
true or if theyre saying no because of disrespect
to their loved one I dont want them saying no.

Connor checked off a box
when he renewed his Nebraska
drivers license when he was 18
years old, saying he wanted to
be an organ donor. Then, in
December, a year and a half
later, he died in a car accident.
And on Christmas Day, four
recipients received the gift of
life from a KU student they
would never meet.
He gave probably the great-
est Christmas present he could
have, said Doug Meigs,
Connors twin brother. I think
its a gift to mankind. Hes given
a part of himself so more people
can live more enriched lives,
and they, in turn, can help other
people.
Connor was one of more
than 620,000 registered donors
in Kansas and Nebraska. In
Kansas, residents have three
ways to sign up with the donor
registry, said Laura Schons,
hospital and family services
coordinator for the Midwest
Transplant Network. People
can become a donor by check-
ing off that option when they
receive or renew their drivers
licenses; they can state their
intentions in a living will; or
they can sign up directly with
the Midwest Transplant
Network. In Nebraska, sign-up
is just as easy.
The demand for organs is
high and the supply is never
enough, health officials say. In
addition, the recipient must
have a perfect match with the
organ so the wait is usually
long.
Its especially important for
young people to think about
organ donations, Schons said.
They have healthier hearts and
lungs, which are the most diffi-
cult organs to transplant, she
said.
Families say goodbye, save lives
For Connor Meigs family,
being part of the organ dona-
tion process was difficult, but
gratifying. But Linda Meigs
knows the decision her son
made to donate his organs was
Four people have a
better life today because
of Connor Meigs.

Students hail
Mexican gala
Carrie Warner was almost
fired for being unavailable to
work on Cinco de Mayo last
year. The St. Louis junior said
Cinco de Mayo was the busiest
day of the year at Chevys
restaurant where she worked.
Its a good time for people to
get drunk, Warner said.
Cinco de Mayo gives students
the opportunity to knock back a
couple of Coronas and take a
couple shots of tequila.
But many of these students
dont know why the holiday
was celebrated in the first place.
Today, different organizations
on campus are going to educate
students about the history
behind Cinco de Mayo.

Politics, including students who
were fans of the show.
I like the writing and the

After former KU student Connor Meigs died in a car
accident last year, he gave the gift of life his organs
to four candidates on the waiting list because he
had signed up as an organ donor when he renewed his
license. Though some KU students dont sign up for
organ donations because of various myths, donations
are necessary throughout the United States. More than
87,000 people await organs that will match with their
bodies. Otherwise they, too, will die. PAGE 1A

Building unique homes
Former churches and even retail
malls in Lawrence are quickly becom-
ing apartments and townhomes, all in
an effort by landlords to use unique
structures to draw students and other
new clients to their properties.
Interesting buildings can bring in a
variety of people, including students,
Samantha Key, Sabetha junior, said.
Key lives in the Four Wheel Drive
Townhouses, located at 2859 Four
Wheel Drive Road.
All 14 units are circular in shape,
both inside and out. This unique style
was not initially attractive to Key, but
she grew to like it.
When I first saw them, I though
they were weird, Key said, after having
been a tenant for almost a year. But
they are so beautiful and different.
The apartment setup also provides
her amenities that would be hard to
find elsewhere.
I have a gazebo in my apartment,
she said.
The townhomes, located in southern
Lawrence, were built as a retail shopping
mall in the early 1990s, said Kathryn
Franklin, office manager for the town-
homes. But after the River Front Mall
was built, the property owners decided
to transform the mall into rentals.
A church, which was built in the
late 1800s and is now located at 1001
Kentucky St., also has been trans-
formed. It is now a home for students
and even a small business, Little
Springs Design, said Aspen Junge,
network operations professional for
the company.
I remember when we looked at it,
thinking how cool it was, Junge said.
The small business operates out of
the location because of its close prox-
imity to downtown, Junge said. The
cost for their apartment, which Junge
said was more than $600 per month,
is cheaper than if the business were
on Massachusetts Street.
Its cool, but you pay for the cool
factor, Junge said.
Each property has its own quirks,
though. Tenants living at 1001
Kentucky St. battle for parking spaces
as much as those in the residence
halls. The lot was not designed to
have a big parking lot, Junge said.

Nichols writes about accusations
OKLAHOMA CITY Terry
Nichols has written a letter to a woman
who lost two grandchildren in the
Oklahoma City bombing and accused a
man never charged in the attack of pro-
viding some of the explosives used to
bring down the building a decade ago.
Nichols, serving a life sentence for
his role in the blast, said in the four-
page handwritten letter that he felt
the record should be set straight. He
claims Arkansas gun collector Roger
Moore gave the explosives to Timothy
McVeigh and also provided additional
bomb components recently found in
Nichols former Kansas home.
He sent the letter to Kathy Sanders,
who has written a book about her own
investigation of the bombing and cor-
responds with Nichols. A copy of the
letter, first disclosed by the Los
Angeles Times, was obtained
Wednesday by The Associated Press
from Sanders literary agent, Jim Baird.
An FBI spokesman in Kansas City
said the letter will not lead to a new
investigation and that there is no indi-
cation Moore provided explosives to
Nichols and McVeigh. Prosecutors
say Nichols stole an estimated
$63,000 in weapons and other items
from Moores home that were then
sold to help finance the terror plot.
We believe the information that
came out of the original investigation
and we stand by the results of that
investigation, FBI spokesman Jeff
Lanza said.
In the early stages of the bombing
investigation, the FBI took a hard
look at Moore because of his anti-gov-
ernment views and close relationship
with McVeigh.
Moore was never charged and has
denied any involvement in the bomb-
ing and he testified against Nichols
about the robbery. He could not be
immediately reached for comment; he
has an unpublished phone number.
Nichols said in the letter that FBI
tests, including fingerprinting, on a
case of little tubes of nitromethane
found about a month ago at his for-
mer home in Herington, Kan., would
support his claim that they came from
Moore and Moores girlfriend.
The Fed Govt knows of Roger
Moores corrupt activities and they are
protecting him and covering up his
involvement with McVeigh at the
OKC bombing! Nichols wrote.
The FBI searched the home after
getting a tip from an inmate who said
he learned of the explosives cache
from Nichols in the maximum-secu-
rity federal prison in Colorado.
Oklahoma County District
Attorney Wes Lane, whose office
prosecuted Nichols in state court last
year, said that in attempts to solve the
case through plea negotiations before
trial, Nichols was asked to discuss the
involvement of others in the bombing.
He had no relevant information, and
never mentioned Moore, Lane said.
It disgusts me that Terry Nichols
would further victimize the innocent by
his prison cell ramblings, Lane said.
Nichols, 50, has been convicted
twice in federal court and in an
Oklahoma court and is imprisoned
for life without parole. McVeigh was
executed in 2001.
The letter was dated April 18, the
day before the 10-year anniversary of
the federal building bombing that
killed 168 people.

cians and their staffs are trying to do their best
every day, Attie said.
And Attie knows this.
After graduating from Harvard, Attie dropped
the idea of going to law school and worked for
the government of New York City. He began
speech-writing and even-
tually was recruited to
write speeches for the
Clinton administration.
Attie learned much of
his knowledge for the
show while working as
an assistant and speech-
writer for former Vice
President Al Gore and
former House
Democratic Leader Dick
Gephardt. He also
worked as a special assis-
tant to former President
Bill Clinton.
After the presidential
vote recount in Florida in
2000, Attie said he was
unemployed and called
Warner Brothers to ask
about screenwriting for
The West Wing, which
was entering its third sea-
son. Screenwriting
sounded a lot like
speech-writing, Attie
said.
It was writing about
what I was doing, he
said. A few months later
I was in L.A. and never
looked back.
But Hollywood poli-
tics are a lot different than real life, Attie said.
Conflict and narrative are sexier, he said.
With the music and the lights, you could make
reading the phone book seem dramatic.
Attie said people often asked him why real
politicians couldnt be like the characters on the
show.
Most politicians arent capable of acting as
presidential as the actors on the show, he said.
But Attie distinguished between seeming pres-
idential and being presidential.
Seeming presidential is about looking intelli-
gent, involved and intense. Being presidential is
more like a being a plumber, he said.
Youre just thrown in there fixing things, Attie
said. We all want heroes. We just dont believe any-
body who claims that mantle anymore. I wish there
were more positive examples of politics like The

egardless of the extraordinary
price tags, chic denim is flying
out the doors of department
stores and high-end boutiques. The
hunger for high fashion is bringing
in an endless stream of savage cus-
tomers who cant seem to pay too
much for designer jeans.
We constantly have sizes and
styles on back order, said Akta
Desai, St. Louis senior and sales
associate at Britches Clothing Co.,
843 Massachusetts St. We cant
keep them in the store.
A pair of low-rise, faded Seven for
All Mankind jeans can top out at
$285 for elaborate stitching and the
addition of Swarovski crystals on
the pockets or studs around the
waist. Sevens are a popular brand on
college campuses and are noted by
the signature hand-knit swirl on the
back pocket.
Abercrombie & Fitch has taken
note of the soar in denim sales and
acted on it by launching the new
Ezra Fitch line of jeans at about
$250 a pop.
Companies are quick to defend
these prices, noting the higher-qual-
ity denim used costs up to three
times more to produce. The intricate
handiwork that goes into the stitch-
ing the designs on the pockets also
ups the price.
Each pair of Sevens comes with
an authenticity label and instruc-
tions regarding the care of the jeans.
Fabrics are made to fade and break
in, giving wearers the favorite jeans
feel.
Blue jean king Levi Strauss still
offers durable bottoms for about
$30. The jeans are easy to find at
places such as Kohls or Wal-Mart.
But jeans, once the staple of poor
boys and steel workers, have
become the look of celebrities and
suburbia, with prices to match.
On Newlyweds, Jessica
Simpson always wore a certain style
of True Religion jeans. Viewers
noticed and followed suit, Desai
said.
If stars can wear it, we can wear
it, Desai said.
Its not just the rich paying these
prices.
Although most buyers are in their
20s or 30s, girls as young as middle
school and women in their 50s are
feeding into the craze.
Our shoppers are mainly college
girls and their moms looking for
good denim, said Katie Zeller,
Overland Park freshman and sales
associate at Ginger and Maryanne,
914 Massachusetts St.
The boutique specializes in
designer duds and carries seven dif-
ferent lines of denim, all ranging
from $120 to $200 a pair.
Just recently the store has stocked
a pair of Sweetheart style jeans by
Chip & Pepper that cost about $250.
The extra-long low-rises feature
hand-stitched heart designs on the
pockets.
The exclusive market for jeans
hasnt just been around for the past
few years.
In 1980, Calvin Klein introduced
his designer jeans on the back side
of Brooke Shields along with the
controversial slogan Nothing
comes between me and my Calvins.
Other designers like Ralph
Lauren and Marciano began to
explore the blue jean and turned it
into a wardrobe necessity.
The demand for jeans is helping
dress-down fashion overall.
They are great because you can
dress them up by pairing them with
heels or down by wearing them
with your everyday clothing,
Desai said. As long as youre com-
fortable, then you just feel better
about yourself.
Though many say the only reason
shoppers buy into the fad of over-
priced jeans is for the sake of labels,
many contest that the fit truly
defines quality denim from average
denim even if it comes at $200 a
pair.
Jeans are hard enough to find, so
when you come across a pair that
feels good, its worth it, Zeller said.
It is out of question to spend a
lot if it doesnt look right, Zeller
said, It doesnt matter who notices
what brand youre wearing as long
as youre comfortable.

Former leaders aim
to shape up youth
NEW YORK Former
President Clinton and Arkansas
Gov. Mike Huckabee two
politicians whose love of junk
food landed them in the hospi-
tal are trying to help the next
generation shape up.
The two announced a cam-
paign Tuesday to stem the tide
of obesity by encouraging chil-
dren to create lifelong healthy
habits that emphasize better
nutrition and increased activity.
The truth is that children
born today could become part
of the first generation in
American history to live shorter
lives than their parents because
so many are eating too much
of the wrong things and not
exercising enough, Clinton
said.
Clinton and Huckabee vowed
to halt childhood obesity in the
United States by 2010.
Estimates are that 16 percent of
U.S. children are obese, mak-
ing them susceptible to such
life-threatening illnesses as
heart disease and diabetes.
Clintons motivation for get-
ting involved was the heart
bypass surgery he had last
September; Huckabees was the
110 pounds he lost after being
diagnosed with Type II dia-
betes.

Explosives kill 60,
target police center
IRBIL, Iraq An Iraqi carry-
ing hidden explosives set them
off outside a police recruitment
center yesterday where people
were applying for jobs, police
said. The U.S. military said at
least 50 Iraqis were killed, mak-
ing it the deadliest insurgent
attack in Iraq in more than two
months.
State-owned TV in Iraq and
Al-Arabiya television gave even
higher casualty figures, saying
60 were killed and as many as
150 wounded.
At least seven cars were
destroyed by the blast in Irbil, a
Kurdish city 220 miles north of
Baghdad. Several nearby build-
ings were damaged.
Pools of blood formed on the
street outside the center as
ambulances and cabs raced to
the chaotic scene to take casu-
alties to hospitals.
The attack came as many
civilians were applying for Iraqi
police jobs at the recruitment
center, said Capt. Mark Walter,
the spokesman who provided
the U.S. military death toll.
Police officer Shwan
Mohammed first said that the
attacker had set the explosives
off inside the police center, but
police Capt. Othman Aziz later
said the attacker detonated
them outside the building
because of the heavy security
there.

Israel halts plans
to hand over towns
JERUSALEM Israel froze
the planned handover of West
Bank towns to the Palestinians
yesterday, accusing Palestinian
security forces of failing to
honor commitments to disarm
militants in areas already under
their control.
In the West Bank, two
Palestinian youths were shot
dead by Israeli soldiers. The
developments strained the
already tense cease-fire.
Palestinian officials called the
decision to stop the handover
of towns unfortunate and
said they had struck a deal to
collect militants weapons,
despite a top commanders
announcement Wednesday that
he had no plans to disarm the
gunmen by force.
Palestinian security and hos-
pital officials said Israeli sol-
diers shot and killed two 17-
year-old cousins after nightfall
yesterday. The Israeli military
had no immediate comment.
The security officials said the
youths were throwing rocks at
troops guarding the separation
barrier Israel is building near
the village of Beit Lakia when
the soldiers opened fire.
Israeli military officials said
about 300 Palestinians threw
rocks and iron bars at soldiers,
who fired warning shots in the
air before shooting at the
Palestinians.
The Palestinian Authority
issued a statement that called
the killings a violation of the
cease-fire. The truce, declared
Feb. 8, has considerably
reduced violence, but isolated
incidents continue.
Under the cease-fire agree-
ment, Israel pledged to pull
its forces out of five West
Bank towns, while the
Palestinians promised to dis-
arm militants. Israel has
pulled out of only two towns,
Jericho and Tulkarem, while
holding back from leaving
Qalqiliya, Bethlehem and
Ramallah.

Fired teachers
aided cheaters
HOUSTON Administrators
in Texas largest school district
said yesterday that they planned
to fire six teachers and demote
two principals and an assistant
principal after finding evidence
of cheating on state tests at four
schools.
Houston Independent School
District Superintendent Abe
Saavedra said three other dis-
trict employees, including a
principal, would receive formal
reprimands.
A Dallas Morning News
review of standardized test
scores throughout the state
prompted a handful of Texas
school districts to investigate
test results at individual schools
from recent years.
The Houston district began
an internal investigation four
months ago after finding unex-
plained jumps in scores and sta-
tistical irregularities on stan-
dardized tests at 23 schools,
Saavedra said.
Two months into the investi-
gation, Saavedra announced the
district had identified two
teachers at an elementary
school who assisted students on
the state exam. The district has
recommended those teachers be
fired and has demoted the
schools principal.
Yesterday, Saavedra said the
investigation was over and con-
firmed cheating occurred at
another three elementary
schools. At one school, investi-
gators found that four eighth-
graders were taken from their
regular classrooms to another
room where a math teacher
helped them answer questions.
The four answered all of the test
questions the same way, and
they incorrectly answered the
same two questions.
Robert Moore, the districts
inspector general who led the
review, said all the teachers and
administrators accused had
denied wrongdoing.
Chris Tritico, an attorney for
one of the principals and two of
the teachers fighting to retain
their jobs, claimed investigators
picked a target and then mold-
ed their facts around that tar-
get.
Other schools around the
nation have faced similar inci-
dents.

right.
At 19, you wish he could
have those organs. You wish he
could undo it, she said. But
long term, its the gift that keeps
giving.
Linda said leaving her son in
the hospital was one of the hard-
est moments of his death.
Organ donation is a very dif-
ficult thing for a family to do
because they keep the body on
life support to make him look
alive, and you walk away from
your loved one apparently
alive, she said.
The accident happened Dec.
20 when Connor and Doug were
driving to their grandmothers
house in Omaha, Neb. Their car
hit a patch of black ice and slid
into a pick-up truck. Both broth-
ers went into comas.
Doug woke up the next day,
but Connor did not. He had suf-
fered brain damage. He died at
7:50 a.m. on Christmas Eve.
His drivers license, as of May
2003, showed he wanted to be a
donor.
The Nebraska Organ
Recovery System, which took
care of Connors body, kept him
on a ventilator to keep his lungs
breathing and his heart pump-
ing.
Nebraska state law prohibits
interference including family
objections from the deceased
person fulfilling his or her regis-
tered obligation, said Cynthia
Wofford, Clinical Nurse
Coordinator at the Nebraska
Organ Recovery System.
The Midwest Transplant
Network, however, under special
c i r c u m -
stances, such
as unexpect-
ed deaths,
gives family
members the
option to
override the
dona t i on,
Schons said.
She said the
n e t w o r k
w o u l d
respect the
f a m i l y s
wishes in a
situation that
involved a
donor dying
unexpected-
ly before he
got the
opportunity
to remove his name from the reg-
istry.
Although its rare, Schons said
she would tell the family mem-
ber to get a wider family consent
if she thought that person was
imposing personal beliefs to
override the donors wishes.
Its this power of final consent
that makes families the real
heroes, not the surgeons or
social workers, Schons said.
Its these families who give
the gift of life.
Organ registry still young
More than 87,000 people are
waiting for an organ in the
United States and most of them
will die, Schons said.
The need
for organs is
more urgent
now than it
was before
the Kansas
state registry
came into
existence in
J a n u a r y
2003. The
waiting list is
growing rap-
idly because
technology
allows peo-
ple to live
longer and
most dialysis
p a t i e n t s ,
who would-
nt have
been consid-
ered for transplants several years
ago, are now being considered,
she said.
More than 170,000 donors are
registered in the state of Kansas,
which is only 6.3 percent of the
states 2.6 million people. And
only 32,934 registered donors
are between the ages of 18 and
24 years old, according to the
Midwest Transplant Network.
In Douglas County, 7,651 peo-
ple of the total population of
99,962 are registered. Of 18- to
24-year-olds, 1,982 are registered.
Schons said she didnt like to
favor one age group over anoth-
er, but younger donors were des-
perately needed.
Young people tend to have
better organs, she said. No ifs,
ands or buts that the younger we
are, the healthier we are.
Donation gives second chance
Andy Miller will forever be
grateful to the family who, five
years ago, allowed him to have a
better life.
Miller got in a car accident
when he was 16 years old.
Doctors ran blood tests and dis-
covered he had kidney reflux dis-
ease.
Some of the urine was pushed
back into the kidneys rather
than leaving completely through
the urethra. That meant parts of
the kidney broke off, Miller said.
After two years of medication,
doctors placed Miller on dialy-
sis. For the Louisburg resident,
this was the worst part.
Dialysis can be an exhausting
process for people with failing
kidneys because it consumes a
lot of time, said Julie Duncan,
nurse and communication cen-
ter supervisor at the Midwest
Transplant Network.
Kidney dialysis re-creates the
basic, but important, task of fil-
tering out the urine and accom-
panying waste, such as excess
vitamins. The blood is diverted

before doctors can find a perfect match. Because the candidates
need a perfectly-matched organ, the wait can take several years.

from the body, run through a fil-
tering machine and then back
into the body.
Depending on their kidney
function, patients have to undergo
the process two to three times per
week. Each process from sitting
in the waiting room to recovery
takes up to several hours.
A lot of people can live a very
long time on dialysis, but thats
not how they want to live,
Duncan said.
Thats why the majority of
patients choose to get kidney
transplants so they can live
more of a normal life, Duncan
said. Miller was on dialysis for one
year before his name was added to
the transplant waiting list.
Twice he thought the wait had
ended when doctors found possi-
ble donors, only to be told the
kidneys did not match perfectly.
The false alarms was disappoint-
ing at first, Miller said, but he
knew the hospital was working
hard to find him a new kidney.
It was a sign of hope that I
would get a transplant.
Finally, after waiting nine
months, he got a new kidney. The
organ came from a 22-year-old
man who died from a brain tumor.
You wouldnt believe how
thankful I was, he said. I dont
know where I would be without
it. Your body can only take so
much dialysis.
He is now 24 years old, but
the 23 pills he takes every day
so his body wont reject the
transplanted kidney help
remind him of the life-saving gift
he received five years ago.
Miller plans to return the
favor one day. Hes been a regis-
tered organ donor since he got
his license at 16 years old.
Gift inspires others
Linda Meigs, Connors mother,
said she thought her son became a
donor because he hated to waste.
He was very environmentally
conscious, she said. I think he
would be pleased his function-
ing organs would be useful and
would save other lives.
Connors twin brother, Doug,
who turned 20 on Feb. 25, has
been a registered donor since he
was 16 years old.
I think its a great thing. Just
a little check of a box can
change a life completely, Doug
said. Its not like youre going to
use your body after you die. You
might as well give it to someone
else.
Some of Connors friends in
Omaha and at the University
are now considering to put
their names on the donor reg-
istry.
Steve Rue, who has known
Connor since their sophomore
year in high school, placed his
name on the Nebraska registry
when he renewed his drivers
license two months after
Connors death.
The number of lives Connor
saved with his organs inspired
Rue to change his feelings about
organ donations. Its pretty
crazy to think seven people could
be saved, he said.
Neal Bierman isnt registered
because he said he was unaware of
the process when he got his license
at 16. But since Connors death,
Bierman, who has known Connor
his entire life, has made it his goal
to register his
name when
he renews his
license in
August. He
said Connor
always asked
his friends if
they were
donors.
Connor
was really
big on it,
B i e r m a n
said.
Connors
donations also gave Timon Veach,
Pittsburgh, Pa., senior more rea-
sons to become a donor.
I thought it was pretty
noble, said Veach, who knew
Connor from the KU hockey
team. He said laziness had kept
him from adding his name, but
he planned to register one day. I
think about Connor every day
since he left, he said.
Waiting...
Two short weeks after Connor
died, Linda
Meigs sent her
first letter to
the Nebraska
O r g a n
R e c o v e r y
System to
send on to the
four people
w h o d
received his
large intestine,
liver and both
kidneys.
I was hop-
ing to meet
the people who had a part of
Connor, his mother said.
The Nebraska system and the
Midwest Transplant Network
dont allow the families of the
donor and recipients to meet
until one year has passed. Then,
the Midwest Transplant Network
will release each partys confiden-
tial information as long as all par-
ties give consent, Schons said.
Many recipients, as well as
donor families, may be appre-
hensive about communicating,
said Chris Dunham, community
liaison for the Nebraska Organ
Recovery System.
Many recipients have told her it
was hard for them to sit down and
write a letter, thanking someone
for saving their lives. Some of them
have also told her they feared not
meeting certain expectations of the
donors family, she said.
Donor families dont want
to forget about their family
member, but they may also
want to move on with their
lives.
Five months later, Linda
Meigs continues to wait for a
response.
But she understands.
Were on different sides of
the table, Meigs said. Were
grieving and theyre healing.

Todays Birthday. Theres a stack of
stuff youve been avoiding, and unfor-
tunately, its in between you and peace
of mind. Tidy up and increase satisfac-
tion this year.
Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is an
8. Its full speed ahead again, this time
taking a few financial precautions. You
can talk freely but dont, for now, tell
how much money you have.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) Today is a 6.
As you go through your stack of stuff,
youll be amazed to find the pieces
youve been looking for. The answer is
obvious.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) Today is an
8. The coast is clear again. Gather with
friends to celebrate. Whatever youve
accomplished is something you didnt
have before, so its worth a party.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) Today is a 6.
Continue to do a complicated task as
carefully as you can. Don't worry
about doing it effortlessly, that's not
even necessary. Your diligence is mak-
ing you points.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is a 7. The
smart ones finally realize that youre
their key to success. Youre the one
who can tie all the necessary compo-
nents together.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Today is a 7.
The money for household improve-
ments is available now. Youve thought
long enough about how to spend it.
Now its time to go shopping.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Today is a 7.
The secret to your success appears to
be through another person. You often
do better with a partner, in this case, a
bold and brassy one.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Today is a 7.
Using your wit and energy, you can
win an extra reward. Take on the chal-
lenge; it won't be that hard. Besides,
you need the money.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Today is a
7. Loved ones overload you with love
and admiration. You look spectacular
in their eyes. No point in arguing with
them.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today is a
6. Use what youve recently discovered
to improve your living style. Talk it
over with family, and find ways to
compromise.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Today is
an 8. More conversation is required,
and a lot more study. Figure out the
answers to all the questions before
proceeding.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Today is a 7.
Conditions are good for making
money now. No extra work is required.
It may be necessary, though, to ask for
what youve got coming.

Registered sex offender Leroy
Hendricks should be allowed to move
into Lawrence. The widely known
Hendricks has been the subject of
debate in town recently, and with good
reason. Who would want him? When
he challenged a new sexual predator
law in 1997, the Supreme Court called
his case chilling. He was once quoted
as saying the only way he would stop
molesting children was if he died.
None of that should matter.
The legal system in the United States
offers justice to all, including those who
perform lewd acts which disgust the rest
of us. Hendricks was sentenced to 10
years in prison, and he served that. Just
as he was finishing his sentence, Kansas
legislature passed a law that allowed
criminals like Hendricks to be sentenced
to more time in a psychological facility.
Now after 10 years in that system, hes
being released under strict guidelines.
If Hendricks moves to Lawrence, he
will be under constant surveillance that
amounts essentially to the highest
degree of house arrest. This measure will
cost the state of Kansas an estimated
$278,000 for the first 15 months alone.
In short, he wont be roaming the streets.
Leroy Hendricks is 70 years old, and
in declining health. It would be unjusti-
fied to say he is no longer a threat, but
one fact is unmistakably clear: he has
served his sentence. Its doubtful that the
parents of his victims would agree that
the 20 years spent in incarceration can
make up for his crimes. But according to
the legal system that we all depend on
everyday, his time for release has come.
Why isnt there the same amount of
outrage about citizens who have been
convicted of driving under the influence
of alcohol time and again? Those people
pose as much a risk to the public as sex-
ual predators like Hendricks. Its
because in our society, we reserve a spe-
cial place in our minds for sex criminals.
Its easier to watch a story on the news
about a drunk driver killing a pedestrian
than it is to imagine a child being raped.
But that is not a reason to petition to
keep Hendricks out of Lawrence.
Is it a scary thought to know that
someone with such a violent past is living
across the street? Yes. But are citizens in
the legal position to decline this man his
right to live a somewhat normal life? So
the answer, as hard as it may be to accept,
is that Hendricks has served his time and
deserves to be part of the community.

Hee who destroyes a goode Book, kills
reason it selfe. Thomas Milton,
Areopagitica, 1644
This week, a small-town school board in
rural Pennsylvania snatched The Buffalo
Tree, by Adam Rapp, from the curriculum
of the local high school.
America has a long history of arbitrarily
banning books hell, the whole world
does, for that matter and its usually in
the name of some rabid religious fervor
fueled by a powerful, albeit brief, wave of
conservative thought.
This weeks unfortunate incident in
Pennsylvania is no different. The rural com-
munity there thought that Rapps coming-of-
age novel wasnt appropriate, just as rural
communities here in Kansas thought the
same of We All Fall Down, Annie On My
Mind, The Giver and countless others.
But these last few rounds of banned
books feels different. The whole thing
reeks of Big Politics in America and hid-
ing just behind that, Big Religion.
See, when books had been banned in the
past, the banning body would list a few
words they didnt like, gather a group to
complain, and get the book pulled for a
year or so, before the issue dried up and
went away. In almost every notable case,
books found their way back onto shelves in
schools and libraries.
But now, the attacks have a different per-
spective: that the words and, moreover, the
ideas in these books are simply unnecessary
parts of American life: That the speech in
banned books is worthless, and not pro-
tected by the first amendment.
If the parties intention is to deny stu-
dents access to ideas with which the party
disagrees, it is a violation of the First
Amendment, writes Claire Mullally, an
intellectual-property lawyer who writes
columns on book banning for the First
Amendment Center.
The Supreme Court agrees with Mullally,
but conservative teachers, parents and
librarians dont seem to care much. And as
the gulf between liberalism and religious
conservatism widens, those wanting to ban
books because of their words and ideas
suddenly have a voiceand a microphone.
Parents who dare to speak up when
their children are assaulted with sexually
explicit and violent material are not cen-
sorsand most definitely not []threats
to intellectual freedom. Tom Minnery, vice
president of public policy for Focus on the
Family, a conservative watchdog group,
said in a statement.
Focus on the Family has done a fine job,
in both activism and advocacy, of likening
any sentiment they dont want to hear or
read to hard-core pornography, some-
thing they claim national library associa-
tions feverishly support.
A powerful sentiment, to be certain. And
their message is spreading, giving conserva-
tive parents and teachers the green light to
pull books off of school library shelves at
their whim, all while using the fear of
pornography to justify their degradation of
the First Amendment.
If this type of book is in our school,
then why not have Hustler and Penthouse
in the school library? Pennsylvania school
board member Otto W. Voit III said to the
AP about Rapps book.
Exactly, Mr. Voit. Im know parents all
over Muhlenberg are smitten that you made
the connection between Rapps book and
porno. Because if you hadnt, they might be
left with the mistaken idea that they were
just words on a page
Now, assuredly, parents are scared silly.
Oh my, they must be thinking. If we
dont act, our kids will be reading
Penthouse at school, during study hall!
Okay, it seems foolish to think reason-
able parents and teacher believe what Mr.
Voit said. But it must be having some
effect, or else Minnery and his cronies
wouldnt bother saying it.
If the effect is fear, it may not be the actu-
al goal. For conservative morality to flour-
ish in any society, children must build its
foundation.
Book banning satisfies their need to feel
in control of their childrens lives, wrote
Judy Blume, a popular childrens author, in
an anti-censorship project for Random
House. This fear is often disguised as
moral outrage.
And Minnerys outrage isnt just moral,
its social. How dare our society even have
books with these words and ideas in them,
his group seems to be saying.
But the fabric of the First Amendment is
woven with the voices, words and ideas of a
democracy. Unfortunately for Minnery and
other conservatives, that means ideas that
they might not like or find comfortable.
And if some parents dont want their
child reading certain books, fine by me.
But freedom of speech and expression are
not choices one parent or teacher can make
for everyone in a group.
Because thats not democracy. Maybe
parents should spend a little less time on
witch-hunts for books and more time teach-
ing our kids what makes democracy work.
Knox is a Kansas City, Mo., senior in journalism
Youth is
a universal
time of dis-
covery and
l e a r n i n g ,
regardless of
where we
grow up. As
m o s t l y
t w e n t y -
somethings, most of us have
forgotten the simple lessons of
childhood.
However, college is like a
second childhood, and some-
times we need to remember the
lessons we learned so we can
grow up and take our place in
the real world. Some of the
lessons are timeless, like these
four:
1. Sharing is caring. This
seems like common sense, but
people sometimes forget how
important sharing is. As chil-
dren, we are taught to share
our toys and candy, and to
bring enough for everyone in
the class. Of course, we cant
bring enough of anything to
share with everyone in all our
classes, but we can share in
other ways.
Discussions and conversa-
tions are much better when
everyone involved shares what
they think. Inviting people
over for dinner is a good way
for people to share their
homes and their culinary skills
or lack thereof. It may
sound cheesy, but so was
handing valentines to every-
one in the class. Everyone still
ended up with something to
smile about.
2. If you cant say anything
nice, dont say anything at all.
Gossip and rumors are just as
common in college as they
were in grade school, if not
more so.
Only now they can be much
more damaging, as the conse-
quences for a ruined reputation
might be a job or an office, not
just what your classmates
think.
Gossip and talking behind
peoples backs is still as useless
as it was when we were kids.
You dont have to like a per-
son, and venting is all right as
long as what you say is not
harmful, but idle chatter and
talking badly about someone is
not worth the time or the oxy-
gen.
3 .
Count to
ten. The
stress of col-
lege is
enough to
drive even
the most sta-
ble person
crazy.
Around finals, or any impor-
tant deadline, tempers are short
and sparks fly. As children,
whenever we got angry, we were
told to count to ten before say-
ing or doing anything, to stop
us from making bad decisions.
As adults, the technique still
works.
Taking a moment to step
back, count to ten, and reeval-
uate the situation with a clear-
er head usually helps to avoid
a potentially explosive situa-
tion.
4. Too much candy gives you
a stomachache. Most of us
remember Halloween nights,
coming home with pounds of
candy, and eating most of it that
night, and suffering an upset
stomach later. College students
are known for their lack of
moderation.
While not true for everyone,
most people have indulged in a
night of drinking and partying,
or staying up late studying or
just because, and woken up the
next morning to say never
again, only to repeat the
process the next weekend.
Anything can be bad for you
in large doses, and the wisdom
gained from the experience of
eating a pound of candy in a
single night should be enough
to remind any college student
that everything is better in mod-
eration.
Overall, the lessons we learn
as children are meant to serve
us as adults, reminding us that
there are some things that never
change, no matter how old we
get.
We are still learning some
lessons, and college, as a sec-
ond childhood, is often the last
chance we have to make the
mistakes of a child before
becoming adults.
Remembering the lessons we
learned the first time around
makes the college experience
much more fulfilling.

First high
school
player
commits
This time, its for real.
A day after his father
announced that he was coming
to Kansas on April 19, Dwight
Lewis said he hadnt made a
decision yet. Now hes made
up his mind: Hes going to be a
Jayhawk. The 6-foot-5 junior
combo guard from Archbishop
Rummel High School verbally
committed to Kansas yester-
day.
The decision came after meet-
ing with his family and high
school basketball coach,
according to rivals.com.
I have given a commitment
to Kansas, Lewis told
rivals.com. I really made this
decision on Monday night. It
feels good to get the process
over with. I am really excited
about the idea of playing for
Kansas.
Lewis told the recruiting
Web site that he visited
Kansas last week and that his
family was pleased with his
decision.
My parents love and support
the decision that I have made,
he added. Its a great opportu-
nity for me. The coaches at
Kansas are great, the players are
great and Kansas has an excel-
lent tradition.
He is the 84th-ranked high
school basketball player in the
class of 2006 and is the 21st-
ranked small forward, according
to rivals.com.
Lewis averaged 27 points,
nine rebounds and 4.5 assists as
a junior, and he was considering
Oklahoma and Louisiana State
as well as Kansas. He is the first
player in the class of 2006 to
commit to Kansas coach Bill
Self.

Softball loss
may decide
Showdown
Its amazing what a little Border Showdown
will do to get the fans out to an Olympic sporting
event.
Not only was last nights 3-0 loss to Missouri
the softball teams largest crowd of the season, it
also brought out a slew of local athletics stars.
Football coach Mark Mangino was there, accom-
panied by his wife Mary Jane. Linebackers Nick
Reid and Kevin Kane, seniors-to-be, showed up
with a group of friends. Womens basketball coach
Bonnie Henrickson also came out to support the
team.
The crowd of more than 500 saw the Jayhawks
play a pretty good game at the beginning and a
pretty good game at the end. In fact, if you take
away Missouris third inning, the game was prac-
tically perfect.
Kansas had base runners in several innings but
missed several opportunities to score. The
Jayhawks even managed to accumulate four hits
in the first inning without getting a single run
across the plate (a double play allowed Missouri
to stay out of trouble).
Softball coach Tracy Bunge and her team not
only squandered an opportunity to put Kansas
back in the race for the Border Showdown title,
but they also blew an opportunity to show its
biggest crowd of fans that it was worth coming out
for another game.
We all know the history, especially since we
beat them last time, Kathy McVey, pitcher and

Kansas falls to Missouri
Jayhawks face Big 12 tournament
The Kansas softball team lost to
Border Showdown rival No. 18
Missouri yesterday, 3-0, at Arrocha
Ballpark.
Janessa Roening, Missouri right
fielder, led the Tigers to victory with
a three-run home run off of Serena
Settlemier, junior pitcher, in the bot-
tom of the third inning.
It was a curveball, and she did a
good job with her hands,
Settlemier said. It was a good job
on her part.
Roening was named USA Softball
National Player of the Week after
helping Missouri take down the top
team in the conference, Texas A&M,
last week.
There was little action throughout
the game other than the Missouri
homer.
It was a well-pitched, well-played
ballgame, Kansas coach Tracy
Bunge said.
She said the team knew the Tigers
were coming in with confidence
after a big weekend against the
Aggies.
Missouri came in with a better
game plan, Bunge said.
She said she had a lot of respect
for the Tiger offense, and there was a
good reason they were No. 18 in the
country.
The Jayhawks got four hits in the
first inning, but they werent able to
capitalize. When they knocked off
Missouri on April 13, they leapt out
to an early lead, allowing them to
settle down.

Frankenstein, who had one hit in
three at-bats, said the team was only

Shocker series split
WICHITA The Kansas
baseball team (30-21, 6-11 Big
12 Conference) opened last
nights game, like it has so many
others, on a hitting rally. But,
the game turned into a pitchers
duel before the Jayhawks
wrapped up the 5-3 victory
against the Wichita State
Shockers (38-15, 11-4 Missouri
Valley Conference).
In the last of four in-state
rivalry games this season, the
two teams continued their
streak of putting on a good
show for a crowd full of
S h o c k e r
a n d
J a y h a wk
fans and
split the
series at
two games
apiece on
the year.
It was a big win for us, jun-
ior first baseman Jared
Schweitzer said. This is a
tough place to play.
Hot bats early in the evening
caused the lead to shift back and
forth before the game stabilized
at a tie for much of the night.
Senior catcher Sean
Richardson blasted a three-run
shot, his fourth of the season,
over the left field fence in the
top of the first and gave Kansas
an early 3-0 lead, giving the
false impression that the game
would develop into the expect-
ed slugfest.
It felt good, Richardson
said. Its been a long time since
Ive done that, so I didnt really
know what to do.
The Shockers answered right
back in the bottom of the first
off the bat of first baseman
Derek Schermerhorn, cutting
the Kansas lead to two.
Schermerhorn went 1-4 and
drove in two runs in the contest.
Continuing to chip away at
the lead, the Shockers hit two
more runs in the bottom of the
third. Left fielder Phil Napolitan
and second baseman Damon
Sublett both scored in the
inning and tied the game at
three. Napolitan led the
Shockers going 2-4 and scoring
two of their three runs.
We get the three spot in the
first and they tied it up in the
third, Kansas coach Ritch
Price said. But we kept com-
peting and we made some big-
time plays defensively.
After the first, the generally
explosive Jayhawk offense went
quiet as freshman left-hander
Rob Musgrave (1-0) blanked the
Kansas bats through the fifth
inning before right-hander Kohl
Nanney relieved him.
Musgrave received a no-deci-
sion and a dose of bad luck, as
he was tagged for three runs in
his four innings pitched, and all
three were unearned.
It was frustrating. He tied
our guys up pretty good, Price
said. You can tell our guys like
the fastball, theres no doubt
about that.
The Jayhawks started a fresh-
man of their own in right-han-
der Tyson Corley (1-0). Corley,
who had a previous career high
of three strikeouts , sat seven
Shocker batters down on strikes
and walked only one.
Were really proud of him,
Price said. The progress hes
made in three months is phe-
nomenal. Hes got a chance to
help us.
Corley hit his stride in the
fifth inning, retiring 10 batters
in a row during one stretch
between the fifth and the sev-
enth innings. Corley allowed
just three runs and scattered
seven hits in his 6 2/3 innings of
work.

Jumper to leave
record, legacy
At the Kansas Relays two weeks
ago, Brooklyn Hann finished second
to last place in the womens invitation-
al 100-meter hurdles. Despite running
against professional athletes from all
over the world, she was disappointed.
I did terrible, Hann,
Sacramento, Calif.
senior, said after
the race. But
hopefully Ill do
better in the triple
jump.
The triple jump
had already start-
ed. After a quick
stretch, Hann
entered the third
flight of the
womens triple jump. She dominated
it. She jumped 43-feet-3.75-inches,
defeating Team Nikes Vanitta
Kinard by two inches in front of a
hometown crowd.
Performances like this show why
Hann has remained among the top
triple jumpers in the Big 12 Conference.
Her composure under pressure and
relaxed competitiveness give her an
edge above her competition.
I do better when Im relaxed,
Hann said. Ill get nervous if I get
too psyched out.
The University of Kansas hurdles
coach Elisha Brewer said she had
noticed the psychological effect on
Hanns performances.
The key for her is to help her
relax and go into the meet with the
right frame of mind, Brewer said.
In high school, Hann lettered four
years in track and field. She made it
to state finals in the triple jump, 100-
meter hurdles and 300-meter hurdles.
She chose Kansas from other pro-
grams such as University of Nevada
and University of California-Berkeley.
Hanns mother, Deborah, didnt
have much time to see her daughter
compete in high school. But she
made it to Palo Alto, Calif., when
Hann made it to the junior nationals
three years ago. Hann jumped 41-
feet-8.75-inches, finishing first.
She was really excited, Deborah
Hann said. I could tell because I
could hear her screaming.
Coming off a successful indoor sea-
son, where she placed 10th at the
national championships, she has set a
goal for her last three weeks as a
Jayhawk: to re-set the womens outdoor
triple jump record for the third time,
making it harder for the Universitys
next Brooklyn Hann to defeat.
She first broke the record in 2002
with a jump of 42-feet-11-inches. She
defeated her own record in April at the
Tom Botts Invitational in Columbia,
Mo. with a jump of 43-feet-7-inches.
You want your senior year to go
out with a bang, Brewer said. We
wanted this to be her best year.
Hanns success in the triple jump
provided gust into the dusty record
books. Before Hann, the Jayhawk
who came closest to the record was
Yolanda Taylor in 1988. Her record
at the time was 41-feet-10-inches.
Hann is not an outspoken leader,
Brewer said.
Im satisfied, Hann said. I have
no regrets,

FOOTBALL
Kansas lands commitment
from cornerback Webb
After landing wide receiver Xavier Rambo
just three days ago, the Kansas football team
received another verbal commitment, this time
from Rambos teammate, Anthony Webb,
according to rivals.com.
Webb was a first-team all-state selection
last year, racking up 11 interceptions during
his junior season at the cornerback posi-
tion.
Webb and Rambo are both juniors at Wilmer
Hutchins High School.
Webb took an unofficial visit last week
to Texas. He was also considering
Oklahoma, Nebraska and Texas A&M
among others.
According to rivals.com, Webb is nearly as
fast as Rambo and runs a 4.5-second 40-yard
dash. Rambo runs a 4.4.
Kansas is getting a great player and per-
son. He has the instincts it takes to play cor-
ner at the Big 12 level, Wilmer Hutchins
coach Mike Robinson told the recruiting Web
site. Hes one of those players that comes
along in every 10 years. He researched
Kansas a lot after Xavier committed.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. Trainer Nick
Zito has the favorite for the
Kentucky Derby again, this time
with Bellamy Road, owned by
Yankees boss George
Steinbrenner.
Bellamy Road was made the 5-2

drew the No. 16 post yesterday.
The No. 16 post has produced
three Derby winners: Thunder
Gulch in 1995, Charismatic in 1999
and Monarchos in 2001.
A full field of 20 3-year-olds was
entered for the 1 1/4-mile race, with
Afleet Alex the second choice at 9-2.
Bandini was the third choice at 6-1.
Bellamy Road is one of five Zito
horses in the field, equaling the
record by Hall of Famer D. Wayne
Lukas in 1996.
Zitos other horses are High Fly
at 8-1 (No. 11 post); Noble
Causeway at 12-1 (No. 4 post); Sun

SAN DIEGO Ryan Kleskos
second home run tied the game
in the ninth inning, and Miguel
Ojeda singled in the winning run
with two outs in the 12th as the
San Diego Padres defeated
Colorado 8-7 yesterday, giving
the Rockies their eighth-straight
loss.
There were seven homers at
Petco Park, which has been criti-
cized by Padres sluggers for its
spacious outfield.
Klesko hit a leadoff homer to
right in the ninth on an 0-1 pitch
from Chin-Hui Tsao to tie the
game at 7.
Mark Loretta started the rally
in the 12th when he was hit by
the first pitch from Marcos
Carvajal (0-1). Brian Giles
walked before Phil Nevin and
Klesko struck out. The runners
advanced on Carvajals wild
pitch before Ojeda lofted a sin-

Perkins recognized for achievements
The University of Kansas
Athletics Department has
brought in more than $60 mil-
lion in the last two weeks
between contracts with adidas
and ESPN, but this week has
been particularly rewarding for
Athletics Director Lew Perkins.
Perkins was elected to the
Board of Trustees for the
Naismith Memorial Basketball
Hall of Fame on Tuesday. He also
will receive an honorary educa-
tion degree from the University of
South Carolina Aiken tonight,
where he was a coach and athlet-
ics director for 11 years.
Perkins said he was thrilled
to join the board of trustees.
The game of basketball has
made a tremendous impact on
my life, he said. I now have a
great opportunity to give back to
the game I love. It means even
more to me now that Im at
Kansas, where Dr. Naismith
coached and began the great
legacy that is Kansas basketball.
Jim Marchiony, associate ath-
letics director for external
affairs, said Perkins election to
the hall of fame board reflected
well on the University.
Whenever someone is recog-
nized like this, it points out the
fact that Kansas is a pretty spe-
cial place with a lot of accom-
plished people, Marchiony said.
The hall of fame is recogniz-
ing Perkins long-time contribu-
tions to mens and womens bas-
ketball and the visionary role he
can play in the hall of fames
future, Marchiony said.
The hall of fame looks for
board of trustee members who
are passionate about basketball
and have an interest in promot-
ing the game, said Scott
Zuffelato, vice president for
advancement for the hall of fame.
Lew was the perfect candi-
date because he has spent his
lifetime in basketball, Zuffelato
said. He has a tremendous pas-
sion for the game.
Zuf f e l a t o
said the 39
board mem-
bers upheld
the bylaws of
the organiza-
tion, helped
dictate poli-
cies and
attended meet-
ings, which
were held
twice a year. He also said the
hall of fame was nonprofit, so it
needed candidates who could
help raise money. This also
made Perkins a good choice.
Zuffelato said that, in
Perkins case, having a candi-
date with connections to the
University of Kansas was also
important. Fifteen hall of famers
are KU alumni, which is
remarkable, he said.
The Naismith Memorial
Basketball Hall of Fame building
was founded on Feb. 17, 1968, on
the Springfield College campus in
Springfield, Mass. The first induc-
tion class in 1959 included Ed
Hickox, a Springfield College bas-
ketball coach and National
Association of Basketball Coaches
president, and James Naismith, the
founder of basketball and the first
Kansas coach. Zuffelato said 263
people were now enshrined.
In addition to receiving an
honorary degree, Perkins also
will deliver the commencement
address tonight at USC Aiken.
He served as the schools athlet-
ics director from 1969 to 1980
and was the head basketball
coach from 1969 to 1979.
During those years, the universi-
ty grew from a junior college to
a four-year institution.
USC Aiken will award Perkins
the degree for his achievements
in intercollegiate athletics, his
role in developing the USC
Aiken campus and for his per-
sonal commitment to upholding
high standards and ethical prin-
ciples in all aspects of his life.
Perkins received the National
Invitation Tournament s Man of
the Year award in March and
the 2000 National Athletic
Director of the Year Award,
while at the University of
Connecticut. He has been at the
University of Kansas since June
2003 and has been athletics
director at the University of
Maryland and Wichita State.
Perkins also was a highly-
recruited basketball player in
his youth and played for the
University of Iowa under hall of
fame coach and KU alumnus
Ralph Miller.

KANSAN SENIOR STAFF WRITER
Senior leader excelled despite slow start
Becca Zarazan doesnt define
her career with swimming
efforts, but with the coaches
and teammates that have made
her career enjoyable.
Passion for the sport drove
Zarazan, senior swimmer and
co-captain, to be one of the best
swimmers in Kansas. She was a
three-time letter winner at Blue
Valley North High School in
Kansas City, Mo., where she
broke records in the 200 free-
style and 100 freestyle. She also
was a member of the record-
breaking 200 medley relay and
400 freestyle relay teams. Blue
Valley North took first place at
the state meet in 1999, second
place in 2000 and third place
during Zarazans senior year in
2001. At the 2001 state meet,
Zarazan captured second place
in the 100 butterfly.
Ive always been a butterfli-
er, Zarazan said. It was my
event, my baby. I loved swim-
ming butterfly.
Kansas has not always been
her home. She has lived in
Houston, Chicago, Phoenix and
Overland Park. Her family lives
in Southlake, Texas, a suburb of
Dallas.
Z a r a z a n
also was not
always a
swimmer. She
played soccer
as a high-
school fresh-
man, but her
season was cut
short by a hip
injury. She
decided to try
out for swimming as a sopho-
more where, unlike many of her
teammates who had swum for
years, she had only one year of
previous swimming experience
in middle school.
I absolutely fell in love with
the sport, my team and my
coach, she said.
Zarazan knew that she want-
ed to be a collegiate athlete.
Athletics have always been
important to her family,
Zarazan said.
My dad played football for
Drake, Zarazan said. My
mom was a gymnast there, too.
As college approached in
2001, Zarazan decided that she
would swim at Colorado State
University. In her freshman
campaign with the Rams, she
finished seventh place in the
200 butterfly and sixth place in
the 100 butterfly at the
Mountain West Conference
Championship in 2002. She
also was a part of the All-
Academic Mountain West
Conference team.
Despite a successful season at
Colorado State, unexpected
family problems led Zarazan
back to the Kansas City area.
I wanted to be closer to my
family during that time,
Zarazan said.
Although Zarazan was a
member of the KU sophomore
class in 2002, she fit in well with
the freshmen class and new
coach Clark Campbell.
I was torn between two
classes, Zarazan said. It was
like being a freshman all over
again.
Campbell said that he was
aware of the significant time
Zarazan had spent in the pool
while at Colorado State.
It became more a matter of
helping her continue to
develop, Campbell said.
From the beginning of her
Jayhawk career, Zarazans goal
wasnt to be a captain, she said.
My goal was to be the best
for my team, she said.
Campbell, however, said he
could see Zarazan as a leader
from the beginning. He said it
was the little things that started
to add up.
She always gave 100 per-
cent, Campbell said. If people
came to her, she was always
willing to help people one-on-
one. She was not afraid of
work.
Zarazan served as co-captain
this year alongside seniors Amy
Gruber and Miranda Isaac. The
three created a competitive
training environment, Zarazan
said.
Zarazan was a major con-
tributor in the butterfly and free-
style events, although she did
not end her career on the note
that she wanted to, she said.
Zarazans best time in the 100
butterfly was a 56.06, set her
junior year, but her fastest time
senior year was just a 58.38
recorded at the Big 12
Conference Championships.
It happened so fast with
such intensity, Zarazan said.
Now Im starting to be Becca
the grown-up, not Becca the
athlete.
Zarazan is considering a
career publishing after she grad-
uates in December, and she is
particularly interested in the
magazine industry. Whatever life
may bring her after graduation,
swimming has her prepared.
Swimming teaches you a lot
about heart, love-hate relation-
ships, determination, loyalty
and communication, Zarazan
said.

NASCAR returns
for Mothers Day
DARLINGTON, S.C. Dale
Jarrett shrugs his shoulders
when he looks at what has
become of the old country track
he used to visit when his daddy
went racing.
Gone is the big scoreboard
and play structure at Darlington
Raceway where Jarrett would
climb while his father, Ned,
mixed it up with NASCAR stars
of the 1960s. Now, rising up
around the tracks perimeter is
a multimillion-dollar lighting
system.
And Darlingtons first official
night race, the Dodge Charger
500 on Saturday, is also a
NASCAR departure running
on Mothers Day weekend, nor-
mally an off week in Nextel
Cup.
At first, Darlington president
Chris Browning saw the switch
to Mothers Day weekend as
one more step toward the
eventual demise of the long-
time Nextel Cup venue. Then
he realized demographics had
changed in the past two
decades.
He said studies show that
NASCAR spectators have shift-
ed in the past two decades
from about 70 percent men and
30 percent women to almost
50-50. That means more fami-
lies are bringing mom along to
watch the race with them,
Browning said.

Beery good time on The Hill
WICHITA The University
of Kansas has many great
atmospheres for its sporting
events. None, however, are
quite the same as the one that
Wichita State fans enjoy on
baseball game day.
Located just beyond the out-
field wall is an area affectionate-
ly known by Shockers fans as
The Hill. There youll find
Shockers fans of all kinds, from
small children to twenty-some-
thing students to men and
women who, over the years,
have seen their fair share of
baseball.
The tradition is nothing new.
Before there was a fence
between the parking lot and
outfield wall, people would
back their pickup trucks up to
the fence and enjoy the game
while tailgating. Now, a manned
gate provides the entrance to
the grassy area. The rules, how-
ever, have remained mostly the
same: bring your own beer, just
as long as its not in a glass bot-
tle.
There is nothing like a night
of cheap entertainment to a col-
lege student. The Hill has pro-
vided such an opportunity for
the past three springs for
Wichita State junior Josh
Kinnevan. He and his cronies sit
on a rock ledge, drink beer and
heckle opposing outfielders. To
them, its one of the things that
keeps them coming back to Eck
Stadium.
Its a great deal, Kinnevan
said. Its free with your student
ID, so all it costs you is the price
of your beer.
Kinnevan said hed seen
some crazy things on The Hill.
There was a game once where
somebody brought a keg in, he
said. That was pretty funny.
Young and old alike take part
in the fun. Les Howard, who
has been attending Shocker
games regularly since 1992, is
one of the mainstays of The Hill.
He and a group of his fellow
fans decided to take their sup-
port to another level three years
ago when the started a club
called the Captain Morgan
Marauders. They started with
three members and now have
nine or 10, depending on whom
you talk to.
Everyone out here knows
us, Howard said before greet-
ing a teenage Wichita State sup-
porter with a handshake.
Nobody can walk past us with-
out slapping my hand and say-
ing Shocker fan, Shocker fan!
For KU fans that live in the
Wichita area, games like
Wednesdays provide a rare
opportunity to see their
Jayhawks in action. Marcus
Jauregui, 1999 KU graduate,
takes advantage of the outstand-
ing atmosphere by attending
nearly every Wichita State home
game, no matter whom the
Shockers are playing.
Its a great place to hang out
and meet people you wouldnt
get a chance to talk to other-
wise, Jauregui said. It adds a
lot to the game.
He said he usually cheers for
the Shockers, but he enjoys get-
ting a chance to support the
Jayhawks.
I wear my KU stuff whenev-
er I can, Jauregui said. I get
some crap out here, but its fun.
The possibility of seeing a
setup similar to Wichitas in
Lawrence is unlikely. Current
University of Kansas policy pro-
hibits the sale of alcohol on
campus, including at sporting
events. The proposal to be con-
sidered Saturday by the
Universitys Memorial
Corporation Board would allow
beer sales only at the Jaybowl.
There is also no place adja-
cent to the stadium that lends
itself to a scene like The Hill.
Kansas baseball coach Ritch
Price, however, said that he
would be open to the idea of
beer at Hoglund Ballpark if it
helped the program.
If it would increase atten-
dance, I think it would be worth
exploring, Price said.
Jauregui said that it would
entice him to visit Lawrence
more often for baseball games.
That would be great, he
said. I used to enjoy the games
when I was there, but it would
create a more fun environment
for the fans for sure.
Prices main worry would be
crowd control if patrons were
irresponsible.
The only problem would be
security if fans had too much to
drink and got obnoxious.
Howard said The Hill was a
place where parents can bring
their families and not worry
about things getting out of con-
trol.
Its a family out here, he said.
Everybody just has a good time.

NBA
Wizards defeat Bulls at buzzer
CHICAGO Gilbert Arenas
foiled a remarkable comeback
by the Chicago Bulls and
pushed the Washington Wizards
within one victory of the second
round of the playoffs.
Arenas hit a 14-foot jumper at
the buzzer last night, sending
Washington to a dramatic 112-
110 victory and a 3-2 series lead.
Game 6 is tomorrow at the MCI
Center.
Chicagos Jannero Pargo hit a
three-point shot, his third of the
fourth quarter, to tie the game
with 5.2 seconds remaining.
But after a time-out, Arenas
took the ball out front, moved
left with former Kansas guard
Kirk Hinrich guarding him and
hit one of the biggest shots of
his career.
Larry Hughes scored a career
playoff-high 33 points for the
Wizards, who had a 10-point
lead with 41 seconds to go.
The Wizards have beaten the
Bulls 10 straight times on their
home floor, and another victory
would make Washington just
the ninth team to come back
from a 0-2 deficit in a seven-
game series.
A pair of three-pointers by
Pargo and another by Hinrich
with 11.6 seconds left cut the
lead to 109-107.
Hughes then sank the second
of two free throws with 11.4 sec-
onds to go to put Washington
up by three. The Wizards then
fouled Hinrich before he could
get off a 3-pointer with 9.2 sec-
onds left.
Hinrich missed both, but
scrambled for the ball and
somehow flipped it to Pargo,
who hit a 3-pointer from the left
side to tie it.
But Arenas, who finished
with 16 points on just 5-for-14
shooting, put an end to the cel-
ebration.

able to get two hits the rest of the
game because it was pressing.
In front of the biggest crowd
this season, 508 in attendance,
the Hawks stranded five runners.
We would have liked to get this
one and got more points for the
Border Showdown, Bunge said.
Kansas will finish the regular
season on the road against
another conference opponent,
Iowa State, in Ames, Iowa.
Bunge said the Cyclones had
been improving, and the
Jayhawks would have their work
cut out for them. With the Big 12
Conference Tournament right
around the corner, the Jayhawks
need these victories to avoid
playing in the play-in game.
We have to win two, period. If
we dont win, were going to be in
seventh place and well have to be
in the play-in game, Bunge said.
If they were in the play-in
game, it would be a difficult
road for the Jayhawks. First,
they would have to win the play-
in game at 5 p.m. on May 11.
Then, at 7:30 p.m., they
would be set to take on the No.
2 seed in the tournament.

the teams only senior, said after the game, which
was senior night. We were pretty confident.
McVey said the team could have been too
confident but didnt take Missouri for granted.
Kansas had been on an eight-game winning
streak, including sweeping then-No. 5 Oklahoma.
Sure Missouri is ranked No. 18, but this game was
at home in the comfy confines of Arrocha
Ballpark. Theres no reason the team let this
Border Showdown slip away.
We would have liked to have had this one,
Bunge said. We would have liked to have gotten
some more points for the Border Showdown.
This years Border Showdown has been a bit
rough for the Jayhawks. They bolted out to an
early lead with victories in football, soccer and
mens cross country, only to see the Tigers whittle
away the lead with victories in volleyball and
swimming, among other sports. Kansas was able
to pull back ahead through the basketball season,
but Missouri has slowly regained the lead.
Last nights softball game put Missouri far
enough ahead that Kansas is going to need a lot of
help to claim its third consecutive Border
Showdown title. Kansas needs to take all three
baseball games against the nationally-ranked
Tigers, pick up a point each from the mens and
womens cross country teams and also get at least
two victories from Big 12 and NCAA Tournament
victories against Missouri.
Its not likely to happen. Not only is Missouris
baseball team awfully good, but Kansas team is
awfully streaky. Sure the team has taken games
from top-tier opponents, but it has yet to sweep a
series against a quality opponent.
The Border Showdown came down to just one
pitch. Junior pitcher Serena Settlemier let one
pitch hang in the exact wrong spot, resulting in a
home run.
Too bad. Maybe next year.

Corley is a strange ranger,
Richardson said. I think it helps that
hes so clueless but in a good way. He
pitched great.
After allowing a base runner in the sev-
enth, Corley was relieved by sophomore
left-hander Sean Land (4-4). Land fin-
ished the seventh before junior right-han-
der Kodiak Quick (9-5) took over in the
eighth. Hitless since the fifth, junior out-
fielder A.J. Van Slyke tagged a single in
the eighth, only to be caught in a run-
down between first and second.
The Shockers mounted a longer-lived
rally in their half of the eighth, although
it proved to be just as useless. With two
on and only one out, Quick worked out
of the jam by inducing the double play
ball that ended the inning.
The Jayhawks broke the scoring
drought in the top of the ninth.
Sophomore left-hander Noah Booth (4-
6) walked Richardson before first base-
man Jared Schweitzer knocked a double
into left field.
Richardson then scored the game-win-
ning run on a dropped third strike play.
Schweitzer would add the insurance run
after freshman second baseman Ryne
Price collected the sacrifice fly.
Schweitzers double extended his hitting
streak to 20 games, just one behind
Kansas record holder Ryan Baty, who
held a 21-game streak last season.
I was getting a little nervous, but I
tried not to think about it, Schweitzer
said about the streak. All the guys on the
team were rooting me on in my last at
bat. It was nice to get a hit. I was
relieved.
Quick took home the win after allow-
ing no runs and no hits in the bottom of
the eighth. Booth took the loss for
Wichita State. He allowed two runs on
two hits in his two-inning appearance.
Junior closer Don Czyz picked up his
eighth save as he allowed no runs in the
ninth inning.
Kansas will take on the No. 3 Texas
Longhorns in a three-game series at
Hoglund Ballpark this weekend.

Royals lose 13th in 17 games
CHICAGO A.J. Pierzynski
hit a two-run homer and the
Chicago White Sox defeated the
Kansas City Royals 4-2 last
night for their fourth straight
victory.
While Chicago improved the
best record in the major leagues
to 20-7, the last-place Royals
lost for the 14th time in 17
games and dropped to 7-20
despite outhitting the White Sox
9-6.
Jermaine Dyes RBI single
broke a 1-1 tie in the fourth,
and Pierzynski followed with
his second homer of the season.
Aaron Rowand started the rally
with a two-out bloop single and
scored on Dyes hit.
Freddy Garcia (3-1) gave up
two runs and eight hits in 6 1/3
innings and Dustin
Hermanson, Chicagos fifth
pitcher, got five straight outs for
his fourth save.
Runelvys Hernandez (1-4)
lost his fourth straight decision,
giving up four runs and six hits
in 7 1/3 innings. All but one of
batters who reached on the first
five hits Hernandez allowed
scored.
Garcia was in and out of jams
all game and his bullpen inherit-
ed one in the seventh. Garcia
was pulled with one out and
two men on.
After a passed ball advanced
the runners to second and
third, and Neal Cotts loaded
the bases with a walk to Ruben
Gotay. Cliff Politte relieved and
gave up Mike Sweeneys sacri-
fice fly to center, with Mark
Teahen sliding to just beat the
throw from Rowand on a close
play. Politte then struck out
Ken Harvey to end the inning.
Kansas City took a 1-0 lead in
the third on Sweeneys two-out
double. Shortstop Juan Uribes
relay throw to Pierzynski at the
plate was in time to catch David
DeJesus, but the ball sailed a lit-
tle wide and Pierzynski couldnt
hold on.

Cardinals, Rolen back in the saddle
CINCINNATI Only 26
games into the season, the St.
Louis Cardinals have reached
their first goal. Theyre 10 games
over the break-even mark and
looking good.
Scott Rolen returned from a
sore back and hit a two-run
homer Wednesday night, spark-
ing the Cardinals to a 7-3 victo-
ry and three-game sweep of the
Cincinnati Reds.
Mark Mulders seven shutout
innings helped St. Louis
improve the NLs best record to
18-8, the Cardinals best start
since 1948. Getting 10 games
over .500 was the first of man-
ager Tony La Russas many goals
for the defending NL champi-
ons.
It didnt take them long.
Its a step, La Russa said.
If thats the only step we take
this year, it will have been a
disappointing season. But
thats how you get there, step
by step.
St. Louis got swept by
Boston in the World Series
last season, but retooled its
lineup and replenished a
pitching staff thats been one
of the majors best so far.
Mulder (4-1), acquired from
Oakland in December, kept it
going against a struggling line-
up.
The left-hander allowed
only three singles two of
them infield hits over seven
innings.
He retired his last 13 batters
and didnt allow a runner past
first base.
