Chancellor Robert Hemenway
will announce today that Richard
Lariviere has been selected as the
new provost.
Lariviere, 56, is the dean of liber-
al arts at the University of Texas at
Austin, the largest college of liberal
arts in the United States.
I am deeply honored and very
excited at the prospect of working
with the faculty and the adminis-
tration at KU, Lariviere said.
He will take over the position
on June 1.
The thing that Im looking for-
ward to the most is working with a
group of faculty and students that
are among the most congenial that
I have ever seen, he said.
Hemenway will make the an-
nouncement and welcome Lariv-
iere and his wife to the University
of Kansas at 10:30 a.m. at the Ad-

He has energy, imagination
and superb standards, Faulkner
said.
Larivieres wife, Janis Lariviere,

Education in July. She is project
coordinator for the University of
Texas College of Natural Sciences.
Lariviere will succeed David
Shulenburger, who will step down
this summer and assume the posi-

Grant Colleges.
Lariviere is a scholar of Sanskrit

Robert and Gladys Sanders
wrote a full-price offer to buy
their frst house, but they were
refused by the house builder be-
cause they are black.
But the Sanders were deter-
mined. They knew a lawsuit
would take too long and they
could lose the house, so they
went about it in a different way.
Thats when they had a white
neighbor at Sunfower Apart-
ments at the University of Kan-
sas call to make an appointment
with another realtor. Gladys
said people could tell a black
voice on the phone, so neighbor
Gwen Greenberg helped out.
It was illegal for realtors to
deny them, Greenberg said.
I just forced the law. Nothing
spectacular.
Greenberg made an appoint-
ment to see the same house the
following evening. The house,
809 W. 29th St., was brand new
and in Lawrences newest neigh-
borhood: Indian Hills. It would
be a great place to raise a family
because Broken Arrow Elemen-
tary was scheduled to be built
soon after.
The next night Robert and
Gladys Sanders arrived, looked
at the property carefully and
handed the realtor a down pay-
ment to purchase the home they
had been hoping for. They quiet-
ly signed the contract that night.
We looked at the house as if
wed never seen it before, Glad-
ys said.
Thats essentially how the
Sanders family became the frst
to desegregate a whites-only
neighborhood in Lawrence in
1968.
It wasnt quite that simple,
however. The frst time the Sand-
ers saw the house was just days
earlier with their realtor, Glen
Kappelman. After they made an
offer, the builder, Russ Jones, re-
fused.
The Sanders thought the
seemingly friendly white neigh-
bor theyd spoken to while look-
ing at the house the frst time
had been spying for the builder.
Kappelman called the Sand-
ers in the morning and said the
builder had refused their offer.
On the Sanders second try,
after the contract was present-
ed to Jones, he tried to refuse
it again, but it was already too
far along. He said the deal was
fraudulent because Greenberg
had called instead to make the
appointment.
Thats when the Sanders
called a lawyer. Covenants for
Indian Hills purchasers said that
no black family could move in.
But in 1968, Lawrence passed a
fair housing ordinance to deseg-
regate the city; it just wasnt be-
ing enforced.

The Lawrence City Com-
mission passed an ordinance
Tuesdays that weapons can-
not be taken within 200 feet
of a drinking establishment,
which redefned the current
city code.
LaTonia Coleman, whose
husband was killed in the
shooting near the Granada
early Sunday, Feb. 5, said, We
looked at Lawrence as a place
where we could raise our son
because we felt safe here.
Protection has to be up-
graded, she said.
Now that ordinance number
7976 has been adopted, sec-
tion 14-408 of the Code of the
City of Lawrence states: Close
proximity, means property any
part of which is within 200 feet,
except that if any portion of the
contiguous area of a park, un-
improved lot, parking garage or
parking lot is within 200 feet
then the entire contiguous area
of the parking lot or parking ga-
rage is within close proximity.
People with encased fre-
arms in their vehicles driving
by a drinking establishment on
the way to another destination
would not be subject to pros-
ecution.
According to the memo-
randum sent by Lawrence
staff attorney Scott Miller in
January 2006, the Lawrence
Police Department asked the
city commission to review the
ordinance because it was not
specifc. The unclear terms in-
cluded close proximity and
dangerous weapon.
The memorandum stated
that a number of handguns had
been observed near drinking
establishments in the down-
town area and revision needed
to be looked at immediately.
A person going into a bar
can carry a folding pocketknife
if the blade is no longer than
four inches and establishments
can keep knives for dining pur-
poses, according to the revised
section. Other terms such as
drinking establishment and
possession also were more
clearly defned.
Miller said this policy ap-
plied to restaurants and any
other establishment with a li-
quor license.
I think its helpful to clarify
this ordinance, Mayor Den-
nis Highberger said. I hope
the ordinance will discour-
age people from showing up
at Lawrence bars with loaded
weapons.
Commissioner David Schaun-
er said the memorandum was
discussed in January, but the re-
cent Granada shooting proved
its relevance.
At the meeting, all of the res-
idents and commissioners who
spoke expressed that this was
not suffcient to controlling the
problem and agreed that fur-
ther discussion should be given
to the topic in future meetings.

The Graduate Teaching Assis-
tants Coalition rallied yesterday
in front of Strong Hall to pressure
the University to negotiate a new
contract.
Members of the coalition used
megaphones, drums and signs
with phrases like We take edu-
cation seriously, do you? to at-
tract the attention of those on
campus.
Others were handing out fyers
in front of Wescoe Hall including
information about the coalition.
The participating GTAC mem-
bers wore T-shirts with individual
letters and numbers that read
10 semester limit, and lined up
holding hands on the Strong Hall
lawn to play a game of Red Rover.
People were asked to put on a
GTAC T-shirt and try and break
the line.
Brian Azcona, co-president of
the coalition, played the part of a
KU Bureaucrat, wearing a tie and
jacket, a briefcase and a pig mask
trying to stop the GTAs from
breaking the line.
We arent just being funny,
Azcona said. Were setting an
example for the undergraduates.
Since the previous contract
expired last spring, GTAs are
pressing for higher salaries, more
benefts such as health care and
the removal of the limit of semes-
ters they are allowed to teach.
They also want the University to
educate new GTAs about their
contracts with the University and
make them aware of the coali-
tion.
The GTAC wants the Univer-
sity to schedule more meetings
on school days so they can nego-
tiate a new contract. There were
numerous fall meetings and one
article was agreed on, but there
were only three meetings sched-
uled for this semester.

The Kansas City Ronald Mc-
Donald House Charities paid
tribute to former volunteer and
resident Nicole Bingham Tues-
day morning. The organization
honored the former KU stu-
dent who died in October in the
Boardwalk Apartments fre by
dedicating one its rooms in her
memory.
Binghams friends and family
members gathered at the open-
ing ceremonies of the newest
Ronald McDonald House at
25th and Cherry Streets, near
Childrens Mercy Hospital in
Kansas City, Mo.
Nicoles mother, Nancy
Bingham, said her daughter
cherished the volunteer work
she did for the charity with her
sorority, Alpha Delta Pi, 1600
Oxford Road.
One of the main reasons she
joined ADPI was their affliation
with the house, Bingham said.
Nicole began volunteering
in part because she wanted to
make the guests experiences
as enjoyable as her own. In the
summer of 1999, she and her
mother had a brief stay in a
Ronald McDonald House after
Nicoles heart surgery.
The people at the Ronald
McDonald House were always
there for us, Bingham said.
The new house is already ac-
commodating its frst guests. Jeff
and Chris De Voss, both KU
graduates, will be staying in a
suite with their 7-year-old son,
Nicholas, while he prepares for
a bone marrow transplant.
Nicholas, who suffers from a
genetic disorder called cerebral
adrenoleukodystrophy, began
his frst day of chemotherapy
today in preparation for surgery.
Jeff said he was doing well and
they had been busy with puzzles
and video games.
It really provides a home
away from home, Jeff said.
The new house is composed
of 29 bedrooms and 12 long-
term suites, more than doubling
its earlier capacity.
The house provides a haven
where families like the De Voss
can maintain comfortable rou-
tines during their stressful time,
said Anne Jerome, executive of
Kansas City Ronald McDonald
House Charities. Families stay-
ing at the house are referred by
doctors and social workers.
Our mission is to reduce the
burden of childhood illness on
children and their families, Je-
rome said.

Still near the beginning of its
exhaustive 44 city North Amer-
ica tour, the critically acclaimed
Soweto Gospel Choir will make
its frst trip to Lawrence.
The South African-based
choir will perform tonight at
7:30 p.m. at the Lied Center. The
26 member choir has performed
all over the world in the last year
and a half, including a concert
in New York that was sold out
for more than six months.
The groups frst album, Voic-
es from Heaven, which was re-
leased last year, reached number
one on the Billboard World Mu-
sic chart in the United States.
In January the choir released its
second album, Blessed.
The members dress in tra-
ditional African garb and mix
their vocal performances with
energetic dance numbers and
conventional African musical
instruments. They also perform
songs in six of South Africas
eleven offcial languages.
The choir has performed for
former South African President
Nelson Mandela and Archbish-
op Desmond Tutu. In Novem-
ber, the group performed with
Diana Ross and Christina Agu-
ilera to raise money for the fght
against hunger.
The group also participates
in other philanthropic efforts
across the world. For instance,
it helped raise over $200,000 to
help Nkosis Haven, a South Af-
rican-based orphanage for AIDS
infected mothers and children,
to provide food, clothing and
other basic necessities.
Kimberly Mouser, assistant
director of the University of
Missouri Concert Series, said
the Soweto Gospel choir per-
formed in Columbia Monday
night and had attracted an ani-
mated audience.
The concert was packed.
They had the audience clapping,
dancing and really into the per-
formance, she said. I thought
it was absolutely wonderful.
The Lied Center has pre-
sented African gospel perform-
ers before, including Ladysmith
Black Mambazo. Tim Van Leer,
executive director of the Lied
Center, said the Soweto Gospel
choir offered an opportunity to
keep bringing in rich music and
play host to a diverse group of
entertainers from Africa.
I saw them at the Univer-
sity of Iowa, and they were out-
standing. The way they blend
their voices and how well the
artists communicate with the
audience, Van Leer said. It
was truly a joy to hear them
sing.
Ticket prices range from
$11.50 for students and children
to $28 for the general public.
1960s soul singer Otis Reddings most famous song, (Sittin on) the Dock
of the Bay did not become popular until after Reddings death. Bonus fact:
The song was recorded only three days before the plane crash that ended
his life. The song became famous the next year, becoming his frst #1 single.

Even after his death in 1999, Wilt
Chamberlains massive 7-foot-1 frame
casts a large shadow on the history of
Lawrence. The legendary basketball fg-
ure will be the subject of a speech at 7
p.m. tonight in Ellsworth Hall.
Aram Goudsouzian, University of
Memphis history professor, will give
a lecture about Chamberlains role in
the desegregation of Lawrence as well
as the political impact African-Ameri-
cans have had in motion pictures and
sports.
He was the most preeminent black
person in Kansas during his KU tenure,
Goudsouzian said. He was something
of a transitional fgure, a black celebrity,
who in this context transcended race.
Chamberlain was a member of the
KU basketball team from 1955 to 1958
and still holds KU career records for
most rebounds and points per game
averages. As a sophomore, he led the
University to the national champion-
ship game in 1957 before losing in tri-
ple overtime to North Carolina, 54-53.
Chamberlain left after his junior year to
sign a lucrative contract from the Har-
lem Globetrotters.
Goudsouzian also will discuss the
colossal expectations heaped on Cham-
berlain, and how many KU fans felt his
time in Lawrence was a disappoint-
ment.
Chamberlain opened the eyes of
Lawrence citizens toward the ugly reali-
ties that Jim Crow laws represented, said
Bill Tuttle, professor of American stud-
ies. But he never publicly challenged
the de facto segregation that existed in
the city.
He did have a lot to do with deseg-
regating restaurants and barbershops in
Lawrence, he said. But he chose his
battles wisely because he never con-
fronted the fraternity and sorority sys-
tems, which to this day are essentially
still segregated.
He forced the broader public to
consider him as an individual, as a
man with pride, faults and idiosyncra-
sies and enormous charm, Goudsou-
zian said. Chamberlain was some-
thing of a campus celebrity from the
moment he arrived in Kansas in the
fall of 1955.
Goudsouzian said he had initially
intended to write a novel about the leg-
endary rivalry between Chamberlain
and Boston Celtics great Bill Russell,
but he discovered a treasure trove of
material about Chamberlain during his
research.
Andrew Mohr, Overland Park junior
and history major, said he planned to
attend the lecture because of the impor-
tant social change that was ushered in
shortly after Chamberlain departed
from Lawrence.
He is still considered the most
dominant player ever to play at KU
and lived a fascinating life, Mohr
said. I would love to know more
about his personal life.

The interim dean of the Department of
Student Housing was named Tuesday at the
University of Kansas. Diana Robertson, associ-
ate director of student housing, will take the

nessee.
Stoner is leaving the University after 20
years to take the position of interim assistant

tive director of housing.
Robertson has worked with Stoner at the
University since 1999. She has held positions
in the Department of Student Housing at both

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas - The
hunting accident that produced a raft
of Dick Cheney jokes and was briefy
a source of merriment at the White
House took a more serious turn Tues-
day.
Harry Whittington, the 78-year-old
lawyer shot by Cheney, suffered a mild
heart attack after a shotgun pellet in
his chest traveled to his heart, hospital
offcials said.
Whittington was immediately
moved back to the intensive care unit
and will be watched for a week to
make sure more of the metal pellets do
not move to other vital organs. He was
reported in stable condition.
Just hours earlier, the chief White
House spokesman joked that the
burnt orange school colors of the visit-
ing University of Texas championship
football team should not be confused
for hunters safety gear.
The orange that theyre wearing
is not because theyre concerned that
the vice president may be there, said
White House press secretary Scott Mc-
Clellan. Thats why Im wearing it.
Whittington suffered a silent heart
attack obstructed blood fow, but
without the classic heart-attack symp-
toms of pain and pressure, according
to doctors at Christus Spohn Hospital
Corpus Christi-Memorial.
The doctors said they decided to
treat the situation conservatively and
leave the pellet alone rather than op-
erate to remove it. They said they are
extremely optimistic Whittington will
recover and live a healthy life with the
pellet left in place.
Asked whether the pellet could
move farther into his heart and be-
come fatal, hospital offcials said that
was a hypothetical question they
could not answer.
Hospital offcials said they were not
concerned about the six to 200 other
pieces of birdshot that might still be
lodged in Whittingtons body. Cheney
was using 7 1/2 shot from a 28-gauge
shotgun. Shotgun pellets are typically
made of steel or lead; the pellets in a
7 1/2 shot are just under a tenth of an
inch in diameter.
Cheney watched the news confer-
ence where doctors described Whit-
tingtons complications. Then the vice
president called him, wished him well
and asked if there was anything that
he needed.
The vice president said that he
stood ready to assist. Mr. Whitting-
tons spirits were good, but obviously
his situation deserves the careful mon-
itoring that his doctors are providing,
the vice presidents offce said in a
statement.
Cheney, an experienced hunter, has
not spoken publicly about the acci-
dent, which took place Saturday night
while the vice president was aiming
for a quail. Critics of the Bush admin-
istration called for more answers from
Cheney himself.
The furor over the accident and the
White House delay in making it public
are part of the secretive nature of this
administration, said Senate Demo-
cratic Leader Harry Reid of Nevada.
I think its time the American people
heard from the vice president.
Whittington has said through hos-
pital offcials that he did not want to
comment on the shooting. A young
man at Whittingtons Austin home
who identifed himself as his grandson
said Tuesday he did not have time to
talk to a reporter and closed the door.
Before hospital offcials announced
details of Whittingtons condition, the
hunting accident had produced lots of
Cheney jokes on late-night television.
I think Cheney is starting to lose
it, Jay Leno said. After he shot the
guy he screamed, `Anyone else want to
call domestic wiretapping illegal?!

ticultural Affairs has helped
boost the retention rate of
students for the HAWK Link
and Transitions programs to
a record 88 percent.
Transitions, which started
Fall 2005 provides academic
support for sophomores. It
targets minority students,
but is open to anyone. The
program is similar to HAWK
Link, the academic support
and retention program for
freshmen.
Transitions has 30 sopho-
more participants. HAWK
Link, in its sixth year, has
about 300 students.
Juan Izaguirre, assistant
director of the OMA and
HAWK Link director, said
students were lost in the sys-
tem. He said freshmen got
support from HAWK Link,
then return as sophomores
and had nothing to help them
get back on track.
I got so much help with
scholarships, said Christo-
pher Reine, Kansas City, Mo.
,sophomore, Transitions par-
ticipant and former HAWK
Link student. It kinda got
me to come back.
Aida Garcia, Transitions
director, said the program
has many activities at semi-
nars that take place about
once every month. Activities
include meeting with promi-
nent student leaders like
student body president Nick
Sterner, advanced academic
advising and meetings with
HAWK Link students.
Garcia stressed the impor-
tance of the relationship be-
tween HAWK Link students
and Transitions students.
She said the sophomores are
valuable mentors. She said
the groups meet occasion-
ally to play games and hang
out.
Izaguirre said that previ-
ously the OMA focused al-
most exclusively on freshmen
and seniors. Seniors met with
staff about graduation checks
and career counseling, and
freshman were taught how to
navigate campus.

Enron executive takes stand,
calls operations goofy
By Kristen HAys
tHe assOCiateD Press
HOUSTON - A top trader
who enjoyed a place in the in-
ner circle of Jeffrey Skilling, for-
mer Enron Corp. chief, testifed
Tuesday that a partnership set
up to help the company meet
its earnings targets looked odd
to him.
It looked goofy to me, Ken-
neth Rice said of a partnership
run by Andrew Fastow, former
Enron chief fnancial offcer,
that existed almost exclusively
to conduct transactions with the
parent company.
Rice was the former head of
the companys highly touted
broadband unit that never lived
up to its hype and crashed along
with the parent into bankruptcy
proceedings in December 2001.
He took the stand Tuesday as
the governments second witness
in the fraud and conspiracy trial
of Enron founder Kenneth Lay
and former Chief Executive Of-
fcer Skilling. His follows seven
days of testimony from Enrons
former investor-relations chief,
Mark Koenig.
Rice appeared comfortable,
though his eyes remained fo-
cused on jurors or prosecutor
Sean Berkowitz rather than the
defendants. Skilling watched
him intently, while Lay took
notes.
He described Skilling as a
hands-on boss, who saw broad-
band as an important venture
that could help increase Enrons
stock price.
With that in mind, Rice said
the broadband unit struggled
throughout 2000 to contain loss-
es and show progress in gaining
market share after he, Skilling
and others unveiled it with a
fourish at an analyst conference
in January that year. The unit of-
ten met earnings targets by sell-
ing inoperative fber-optic cable
or an interest in future revenue
from a video-on-demand ven-
ture that later fopped.
Some of those deals were
done with LJM, the Fastow-led
partnership that helped Enron
meet earnings targets.
Rice said he asked Skilling
whether it was proper for a part-
nership run by Enrons CFO to
do deals with Enron. He said
Skilling explained that LJM
could do transactions fast and
that he thought it was an im-
portant thing for Enron to do.
Though Rice called the setup
goofy, his unit turned to LJM
to meet earnings targets.
Rice, Fastow and Koenig are
among 16 ex-Enron executives
who have pleaded guilty and are
cooperating with prosecutors in
hopes of receiving lenient pun-
ishments. Fastow is expected to
be a key prosecution witness.
Koenig, who was Enrons
chief liaison with Wall Street,
described strictly work relation-
ships with his former bosses.
Rice and Skilling were friends
as well, but have yet to face off
in a courtroom.

Attorney Stephen Murphy of the U. S. Department of Justice speaks Tuesday
at the Windsor, Ontario, headquarters of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
Murphy revealed details regarding an international ring which smuggled
people from several countries both ways across the Canada-U.S. border.
Fourteen people were arrested in Toronto, Windsor, Detroit and New York.
Smuggling ring busted Rally
continued from page 1a
The University has offered six
meeting dates for the spring, but
the GTAC doesnt want to meet
during those times. Lynn Bretz,
University spokeswoman, said
the coalition had declined to
meet over winter break and
spring break, a time when the
GTAs are still being paid.
The previous contract expired
last spring, and the coalition de-
clined to meet over the summer
to negotiate a salary increase,
which is when the University
plans its next years budget,
Bretz said. GTAs have received
a 10 percent increase in their
salaries each year for the past
three years.
Azcona said the proposed
consecutive meeting dates over
spring break would do nothing
because time is needed between
meetings for research and com-
munication. GTAs also have
conferences that week, he said.
This is the third GTAC rally
since last spring. The coalition
will continue to operate under
the previous contract through
the Kansas Association of Pub-
lic Employees until a new one is
negotiated.
Sanders
Most people were not comfort-
able with anyone that was differ-
ent from them, Greenberg said.
What Bob and Gladys did, it was
hard. It was a really, really rough
time in Lawrence. There were still
a lot of problems between the two
communities.
Petey Cerf, another Lawrence
resident, donated the money to
pay for the Sanders lawyer, James
W. Paddock, now a retired District
Court Judge for Douglas County.
My mother was vigorously op-
posed to segregation, but I guess
thats news to no one, said Wil-
liam Dann, Cerfs son.
Paddock said the restrictive cov-
enant for Indian Hills conficted
with the new fair housing ordi-
nance for the city.
This is why the builder was
reluctant, Paddock said. He said
the builder was afraid of offending
the other residents of the neighbor-
hood.
The builder, Russ Jones, said he
didnt remember racial restrictions
in the covenants of Indian Hills.
I didnt want to sell them the
house, he said.
He said he had built a lot of
homes in the neighborhood and
felt like he owed it to his previous
customers to refuse the sale.
It was a period of racial ten-
sion, Jones said.
Because it was sold through the
realtor, Jones said, any legal prob-
lems came from the realtor, but he
didnt remember any.
The case never went to trial.
Paddock said he called the real-
tor and told him he couldnt keep
the Sanders from buying the house,
and that it was against the law in
Lawrence to discriminate based on
race, even if a white woman had
called for their appointment and
misled the realtor. He then wrote a
letter to the builder, and eventually
the case was dropped.
The Sanders moved into the
home in June of 1968. Gladys said
the next door neighbor, who she
suspected of informing the builder
that the Sanders were black, never
spoke to them the ten years they
lived there.
He was retired military, so I
was surprised he was so racist, she
said.
The military had been integrated
since the Korean War.
She said he had pretended they
didnt exist, even when her children
would say hi. The neighbors wife
and son would speak to them, but
only if he werent around.
Gladys said when her daughter,
Sylvia, and son, William, would ask
why the neighbor wouldnt talk to
them, she would have to say he just
wasnt nice and that they werent
bad children.
Theyve moved three times
since then. Now they live in a
bigger, newer home in west Law-
rence, a signifcant improvement
from the Sunfower Apartments
and their frst home in Indian
Hills. This time, thanks to their
previous efforts, they had no
trouble purchasing the home they
wanted.
Ban
Its going to take more than
this ordinance we have before
us this evening, Commission-
er Mike Amyx said.
Schauner said, This is kind
of a feel good ordinance that
doesnt really give police much
more.
Highberger said, If some-
one wants to commit a violent
act, this ordinance isnt going
to stop it.
Tyler Torneden, door man-
ager for Abe and Jakes,
said the club hadnt had any
weapons problems, but he
had heard of other drinking
establishments having prob-
lems. He said this ordinance
was definitely something that
should be looked into more
closely.
If the ordinance was vio-
lated, the person would be ex-
pected to pay a fine of no more
than $2,500, spend one year in
jail or both. It is equivalent to
a class A misdemeanor under
Kansas law and is the penalty
established by K.S. A. 21-4201
for criminal use of weapons,
according to the ordinance.
The section regarding the
firearms of the City Code was
originally adopted in 1984. It
prohibited the possession of
firearms, knives with blades
longer than three inches and
other deadly weapons in close
proximity to a business that
serves liquor or cereal malt
beverages.

He loves me, he loves me not
By Tara BurgharT
CHICAGO A Cook Coun-
ty Jail guard told investigators he
helped six inmates escape over
the weekend in an attempt to
infuence the election for sheriff,
newspapers reported Tuesday.
The guard said he was trying
to embarrass outgoing county
Sheriff Michael Sheahan and his
chief of staff, Tom Dart, who is
running for sheriff, The Chicago
Sun-Times and Chicago Tribune
reported, citing unidentifed law
enforcement sources.
Representatives for the sher-
iffs offce, which controls the
jail, did not immediately return
calls Tuesday from The Associ-
ated Press.
No charges had been fled in
the jailbreak as of midday Tues-
day. All six inmates have been
captured.
Also Tuesday, the Police De-
partment said offcers received a
tip about an escape plot at the
jail hours before the breakout,
and that someone involved in
that case had knowledge ... of
what was going to occur, police
spokeswoman Monique Bond
said. Offcers followed proper
procedure and reported the tip
to sheriffs offce, she said.
The sheriffs offce did not re-
turn calls.
The guard initially said he
had been overpowered by the
inmates at the understaffed jail.
But according to the reports,
he changed his story and said
he was trying to boost the cam-
paign of Richard Remus, who
is seeking for the Democratic
nomination for sheriff.
Remus dismissed that theory.
An offcer is going to sacri-
fce his life or family for politi-
cal gain for somebody else? Its
beyond my understanding of
human nature I cant see it,
Remus said. This sounds like
Cook County politics at its fn-
est.
Remus said he once was the
guards supervisor at the jail, but
is not the mans friend.
The jailbreak was the third at
the Cook County Jail in the past
10 months. No inmates had es-
caped in the previous decade.
It was at least the second time
in recent months that the ques-
tion of staff complicity has been
raised.

Iran resumes
use of uranium
Guard helps six inmates escape
By ali akBar Dareini
TEHRAN, Iran Iran has
resumed small-scale enrichment
of uranium, a senior Iranian
nuclear negotiator said Tues-
day a defant declaration in
the face of global opposition to
Irans atomic program.
The resumption still leaves
Iran a long way from reaching
the stage the world fears most:
large-scale enrichment of ura-
nium a process that can pro-
duce fuel for an atomic bomb.
Javad Vaeidi, deputy secre-
tary of Irans Supreme National
Security Council, in announcing
the small-scale enrichment, also
told reporters that Iran would
resume negotiations with Mos-
cow on Feb. 20 over its plan to
enrich Iranian uranium on Rus-
sian soil a proposal designed
to allay fears that Iran will build
nuclear weapons.
The talks with Russia remain
valid, Vaeidi said, adding that
an Iranian delegation would go
to Moscow.
The negotiations with Russia
had been due to resume Thurs-
day, but Iran said Monday they
were postponed indefnitely.
Vaeidi gave no indication
whether Iran was looking more
favorably at the plan now that
international pressure over its
nuclear program was increasing.
Iran has repeatedly said the Rus-
sian plan can be complementary
to Irans nuclear program but
that Tehran would not accept
any requirement to scrap ura-
nium enrichment in Natanz.
Vaeidi said enrichment of ura-
nium resumed last week at Na-
tanz, the countrys main enrich-
ment plant, but that Iran had
not resumed large-scale enrich-
ment, as required for producing
fuel for nuclear reactors.
In Israel, Yuval Steinitz, chair-
man of the Knessets defense and
foreign affairs committee, said
Tuesdays announcement from
Iran made it clear that time is
running out.
If the Iranians will not be
blocked, in due course they will
obtain a nuclear weapon, he
told The Associated Press. This
will be a devastating threat not
only to Israel and the Middle
East but also to Europe and the
United States.
Later Tuesday, Vice President
Gholamreza Aghazadeh said
resumption of uranium enrich-
ment work was very limited.
It cant be used even at semi-
industrial level. Its only at the
laboratory stage for analyzing
research activities. This sort of
enrichment cannot be used (for
producing nuclear fuel), he
said.
According to authoritative re-
ports, Iran had 164 centrifuges
in Natanz sealed by the IAEA in
2003. The seals were removed
last month when Iran resumed
nuclear research. And Iranian
offcials have indicated that Iran
may possess up to 2,000 centri-
fuges.
For a large-scale enrichment
of uranium, Iran has to build up
to 60,000 centrifuges
Top Iranian offcials have
confrmed in the past that the
Iranian military had built nu-
clear centrifuges for civilian use
and that Iran was capable of
mass producing them.
The world has long sought to
stop Iran from enriching ura-
nium, fearing that the process
would bring it to the threshold
of possessing nuclear bombs.
On Feb. 4, the International
Atomic Energy Agency reported
Iran to the U.N. Security Coun-
cil and called on its government
to suspend all enrichment-re-
lated activities.
Instead, Iran suspended cer-
tain aspects of its co-operation
with the IAEA.

COMMENTARY OUR OPINION
Consider students;
stop the bickering
Before
you rent,
study the
landlord
It just wouldnt be the spring
semester without graduate
teaching assistant contract
negotiations.
Once again, the Graduate
Teaching Assistant Coalition
and the University of Kansas
administration are debating
the specics of contracts with
the University. Both sides have
their own ways of hampering
discussions, ranging from inex-
ible scheduling and agendas to
demonstrations of discontent.
The ire that accompanies
these negotiations does nothing
for progress or for students at
the University. The last negotia-
tions lasted 22 months, during
which GTAs and administra-
tion ofcials seemed more
concerned with smiting the
other party than coming to a
fair compromise.
Both parties need to realize
that they have to work together.
GTAs have a right to fair pay
and treatment. The University
administration needs to stop
considering the GTAC as a
vengeful enemy and view it
more as a business partner. The
coalition is only looking out for
its members interests, just as the
administration is looking out for
the Universitys interests.
GTAs need to remember
why they are getting paid. If a
GTA is more concerned about
his work benets through the
University than planning an ef-
fective lesson or leaving time to
work with students, their pupils
are the ones who will suffer.
Such a situation could also lend
to University ofcials perceiv-
ing that GTAs have not com-
pleting their ends of the bargain
when it comes to a contract.
What both parties should
consider is how their negotia-
tions will affect students. How
will allowing or not allowing
GTAs to teach more than 10
semesters affect teaching? How
would a possible salary raise
affect teaching? The classroom
should be the primary interest,
not any one groups prestige or
pocketbook.
Cooperation is key in any
negotiation and until both the
University and the GTAC un-
derstand this, they will be more
concerned with bickering than
improving education.
Ty Beaver for the editorial
board
It was 2 a.m. and I still could
not sleep. Maybe a snack and
something to drink would help. I
put my feet on the ground, and to
my surprise there was something
very cold and very wet on the oor.
I came to the conclusion that one
of my roommates must have spilled
God knows what. I used a towel to
cover the spot, got my snack, and
went back to bed. After all, I had to
be at work in six hours.
Over the next couple of days, it
became obvious that I was hasty
in blaming my friends. No number
of towels could induce the spot to
leave my oor. After two weeks of
this nonsense I called my landlord
and reported the problem. Over
the next six months, the spot on
my oor grew and despite weekly
calls, my management company
did little to x the problem. The
dilemma became so obscene that
mold grew in the crevice where
the carpet meets the wall.
Only six months ago, I was a
rst-time renter, but in that time
Ive dealt with my management
company so often that they should
have been paying me. I decided
that I should get some tips.
Tim Shaftel, professor of
accounting, said, Theres no
agreement in the world that will
resolve the issues. A good com-
pany with solid management
will do the right thing.
This advice leads to an im-
portant step for students look-
ing to rent a home. Look into
your future landlords. Talk to
the current tenants of the home
you are looking to rent.
Shaftel said, If you move into
a place that looks like a rat hole, it
got that way somehow.
If a management company
has done little or nothing to get a
home ready before you move in,
how are they going to respond to
the problems that occur during
your tenancy?
Rob Hulse, president of the
Lawrence Board of Realty ad-
vises rst-time renters to ask for
references from a landlord and
check them. If your prospective
landlord cannot give you a short
list of people who would say
good things about them, what
does that say about the landlord?
Both Shaftel and Hulse said
you should read a document
before you sign it. Though most of
us have heard this several times,
it needs to be reiterated. I can say
that I did not read my lease in
depth before I signed it.
Dont let the possibility of a
minor problem drive you away
from renting or leasing a home.
It can be a great experience
which can teach students sev-
eral things about life and living
with other people. Hulse said,
Most tenants and landlords
do a great job. So dont worry
about having problems. But if
you run into them, you should
know how to take care of them.

Choose quality over
quantity for best results
Standing in the wake of
another Valentines Day, I am
reminded of a promise I made
to myself at the start of this
year. My resolution of sorts was
all about quality over quantity
because I vowed to love better
than to love much.
Perhaps my personal New
Years pact was the result of some
unconscious evaluation of a
deep-seeded need to nd comfort,
depth and happiness in just one
person. Maybe it was some sort
of quarter-life crisis, the inner
ticking of a clock that reminds
me that I am one year closer to
the real world, complete with a
job, a family and a picket fence.
But what I really think prompted
my resolution was a sense of
maturity. Just as I am one year
closer to the real world, I am also
a year older and a year wiser. My
tastes, desires and opinions have
changed and I have found that it
is no longer how many people I
open up to, but who and when.
After suffering constant media
bombardments with the Nick and
Jessica and Brad and Jen de-
bacles, I found myself becoming
more and more cynical about the
ease with which my peers and ce-
lebrities entered into and ran out
of relationships. Those around
me, including myself, nd it so
easy to throw caution to the wind
and welcome a variety of eeting
romances into our lives. I made
my pact in hopes of discovering
whether healthy, monogamous
relationships could survive and
ourish in this post-modern age
that encourages sheer quantity
over quality.
On my quest, I elicited the
insight of the notorious Dennis
Dailey, professor emeritus. I sat
down one afternoon to pick
Daileys brain about monogamy
and intimate relationships.
I quickly discovered that Dailey
and I both agreed that experienc-
ing different relationships and
people was an important part of
discovering the sort of person I
wanted to end up with in the fu-
ture. Ironically, and perhaps not so
efciently, it took opening myself
up to different things to discover
exactly what I didnt want.
While Dailey said dating
around was important in estab-
lishing ideas and needs, he also
listed the benets of a commit-
ted, monogamous relationship:
Emotional and physical stability,
freedom from feelings of betrayal
and sexual comfort. These things
are all great if and only if
you are with the right person
at the right time. But what hap-
pens when that sense of stability
or desire changes? What hap-
pens when what was right at the
time isnt right anymore?
All too often our society seems
to expect marriage as a result of
a committed, monogamous rela-
tionship. But what happens when
that union is entered into too
quickly? What does it say about
our world when our celebrities
are running into and out of mar-
riages and engagements with as
much ease as Olympic triathletes
reach the nish line? Can we live
and love in a world that doesnt
expect this kind of behavior from
everyone? Perhaps this kind of
world provoked my resolution to
learn how to experience a smart-
er, greater kind of love instead of
relationship after relationship.
Ironically, I am horried that I
cant handle and am not ready for
this kind of a love. Dailey remind-
ed me that many relationships
at this young stage in life are still
somewhat supercial. Dont get
me wrong. I think I might be up to
the challenge, but at the same time
I know that resolutions are usually
made to be broken. With Dailys
reminder echoing in my mind, I
know that am still young and I
am still growing. I understand that
I can comfortably get away with
running in and out of relation-
ships for at least a few more years.
The thought of being with only
one person for the rest of my life
still petries me, and I guess that
is a sign that my resolution is still
merely a goal and not yet a motto
by which to live and die.
Yet it is nice to know that
if and when the time comes
for the most important and
meaningful relationship of my
life, I will be ready to accept it
and relish it. I know that day
will be long time coming. For
now I will focus on the here
and now and if I can do that by
sometimes putting a little more
effort into those I let close, then
I know I am one step closer to
loving better.
Until next time...

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Column valued but insensitive
I am writing this letter to clarify
some misconceptions that may
have materialized with regard to
disability issues on campus. First,
the KU On Wheels lift van takes
students to campus events and
meetings in addition to classes.
AbleHawks appreciates efforts
made to expand this service
during the last year and hopes it
continues. I should also add that
no AbleHawks member cur-
rently serves on the Transportation
Board; although we do hope to
work with this entity.
The University Daily Kansans
coverage on disability leaves some-
thing to be desired as well. The
editorial boards recognition of the
lift van services disadvantages is
welcome; however the used of the
outdated term handicapped to
describe students with disabilities
is troubling. This term is offen-
sive to the disability community
because of the inferior status and
attitude of pity it connotes toward
people with disabilities. Check
www.lsi.ku.edu/lsi/internal/
guidelines.html for more informa-
tion on this topic.
Its commendable that that the
Kansan notes the importance of
accessibility for all campus mem-
bers. In the future, I hope to see
more coverage along with a better
representation of the intricacies
inherent in this issue.

Same race, similar age and different sex
are all defning characteristics of societys
formula of a normal couple. However,
many students at the University of Kan-
sas do not ft into that equation.
A romantic dinner and a Valentine sur-
prise is what senior Brian Isham, Wichita
junior, has in store for boyfriend Andy
Chester, St. Louis junior.
Were going to do the typical thing
and go to dinner, Isham said. Its going
to be relatively romantic.
Isham and Chester met through Ishams
roommate, and they have been dating for
about six months. Although the couple is
comfortable with their relationship, not
everyone considers it as legitimate as a
heterosexual relationship.
Ive never been personally attacked,
but sometimes it can be awkward, Isham
said. Its not that theyre are attacking
us, they just consider us less valid. Its
kind of offensive.
Others opinions do not affect Ishams
view of the relationship.
It doesnt bother me. I know exactly
how I feel, and thats enough for me,
Isham said.
Intercultural couples provide other
examples of nontraditional relation-
ships. Sophomores Brent Becker,
Hutchinson, and Neisha Fernandes, a
native of Kuwait, have experienced this
frst hand. Becker is white, and Fer-
nandes is Indian.
I think it enhances the relationship,
Becker said. Being different races and
from different countries provides a lot
more exploration. I encourage interracial
dating. You gain more perspective.
The couple met about a year ago at a
Halloween party and has been dating for
four months. Neither Becker nor Fer-
nandes has experienced much adversity
because of dating outside of their races.
So far people have accepted us as a
normal couple, Fernandes said.
Becker and Fernandes planned to go
out to dinner.
Its important to me to express my
love, Becker said, and Valentines Day
is a good time to do it.
The holiday has special signifcance
for Fernandes this year.
It wasnt that important until this
year, Fernades said. This is my frst real
relationship, and it means more now that
Im with somebody.
For Leavenworth freshman Ashley
Matzeder and her boyfriend, age differ-
ence and distance are both obstacles.
Matzeder is a college student studying
applied behavior sciences, while her boy-
friend, a 16-year-old sophomore in high
school, lives in Illinois.
He gets a lot of congratulations for
having an older girlfriend, Matzeder
said. For me, its kind of the reverse.
Sometimes I get made fun of, but I dont
really care.
Neither family has a problem with the
relationship, but Matzeders family was
hesitant at frst.
My family is still adjusting, Matzeder
said. They just dont want to see me get
hurt. His doesnt care. Theyre both pret-
ty OK with it.
The couple met online and did not
meet in person until their one-year an-
niversary.
We met in a homework help chat
room, Matzeder said. But we ended up
not talking about homework at all.
After getting to know each other
through e-mail and telephone con-
versations, the couple realized how
much they had in common. After a
couple of months of communication,
Matzeder and her boyfriend devel-
oped a relationship.
When you only get to talk to some-
one online and on the phone, you fo-
cus on thoughts and emotions, not
just the physical stuff, Matzeder said.
You get to know each other spiritu-
ally.
For long-distance couples, celebrat-
ing Valentines Day can be a challenge.
Matzeder and her boyfriend have sched-
uled a phone date, but not being able to
be together is frustrating.
Its hard because all of my friends
and roommates have boyfriends here,
and I dont get to be with the person Im
supposed to be with, Matzeder said.
Theres nothing we can do.
Despite the distance between Illinois
and Kansas, the age difference and their
nontraditional meeting, Matzeder and
her boyfriend continue to maintain a
strong relationship.
People need to realize that even
though were unconventional, I love him
to death, Matzeder said.
Love triumphs
Couples remain strong in
spite of pressure that comes
from nontraditional romance

Andy Ches-
ter, St. Louis
junior, and
Brian Isham,
Wichita junior,
joke about the
simplicity of
their relation-
ship. Chester
and Isham have
been openly
dating for six
months. Its
really nice to be
with someone
you care about,
Isham said.

When architect Bob Krohn
and his team sat down to de-
sign the Booth Family Hall of
Athletics, they had a daunt-
ing task ahead. They had to
create a state-of-the-art facil-
ity and attach it to a building
more than 50 years old.
One month after its open-
ing, fans are still flocking to
Krohns complement to Allen
Fieldhouse.
The best part is we havent
heard anything bad, said
Krohn, an architect at HOK
Sport + Venue + Event in Kan-
sas City, Mo. People seem to
really like to go through there.
When they designed the
Hall, designers tried to make
it blend with the fieldhouse.
To maintain the fieldhouses
traditional atmosphere, the
team used Manhattan White
Limestone from the same
quarry the original rocks were
taken from, Krohn said. The
doors at the entrance of the
Hall are the same blue doors
that were at the old entrance
of the fieldhouse.
The intent was for the new
addition not to stand out from
the original structure. A natu-
ral feel was something the
Athletics Department made
clear it wanted from HOKs
design, said Jim Marchiony,
Associate Athletics Director.
We said that we had ev-
ery intention of constructing
the Hall of Athletics so that it
would blend with the exterior
of the fieldhouse, Marchiony
said.
Krohn and company took
those guidelines and created
a similar looking structure.
We didnt want the build-
ing to be completely differ-
ent, Krohn said. I think
here, the idea was respectful
of the building.
HOK kept the height of
the building as low as pos-
sible. This allows the metal-
lic words Allen Fieldhouse
to be visible on the building
from Naismith Drive. It also
allows the original windows
below the words to be visible,
which still creates natural
light in the arena while pre-
serving its original look.
Although a natural feel was
important during the plan-
ning stages, uniqueness was
also important. Krohn said
the building still needed to
convey the history of Kansas
athletics on the inside.
Gina Leo, an HOK spokes-
woman, said her frm knew the
importance of preserving the
feel of an original building.
If you can imagine being
an alumni, a lot of your col-
lege experience is based on
game day, Leo said.

Few college baseball players
get the opportunity to travel to
Omahas Rosenblatt Stadium
wearing a freshly-sewn patch that
reads College World Series.
Senior pitcher Ricky Fairch-
ild was one of those fortu-
nate few, reaching the College
World Series last season as a
member of the Tulane Green
Wave. Now he is working to-
ward doing the same for the
Kansas Jayhawks.
Its something thats every col-
lege baseball players dream, and
I think everybody deserves to ex-
perience it at some point, either
as a fan or as a player, Fairchild
said. Id like to get back.
The chances of Fairchild mak-
ing back-to-back College World
Series appearances might seem
unrealistic, but the odds were
against him last year as well.
As Baseball Americas No. 1
prospect in the National Base-
ball Congress World Series in
the summer of 2003, Fairchild
had the potential for a profes-
sional contract.
That was until the end of that
year. Fairchild underwent Tom-
my John surgery and missed the
rest of the 2004 season.
Despite the setback, Fairchild
was determined to return to the
mound. With a positive outlook,
faith in his doctors and physical
therapists and dedication to his
therapy regimen, he fnally re-
turned in 2005.
The frst time out there was a
little nerve-racking, just because
theres that fear in the back of
your mind that, What if it hap-
pens again? Fairchild said. I
didnt want to try to go 100 per-
cent for fear that it might hurt,
but then after I got in the rhythm
for a little while and my arm was
feeling good, I didnt really have
any problems.
That season, as a senior by ac-
ademic standards, he fulflled his
dream of reaching the College
World Series. Although the No. 1
seeded Green Wave failed to win
the championship, Fairchild said
he cherished the experience.
Fairchild graduated from Tu-
lane that spring, but decided not
to let his baseball career end.
With an extra year of eligibil-
ity because of the medical red-
shirt he took in 2004, he began
searching for a school closer to
his native Dallas.
There was only one problem:
Fairchilds coach at Tulane,
Rick Jones, denied his request
to release him to play at a Tex-
as school because of Tulanes
proximity.
As a result, Fairchild looked
for up-and-coming programs.
Kansas ft that criteria.
Fairchild said Hurricane Ka-
trina did not play a factor in his
decision to transfer to Kansas.
He committed to Kansas a week
before Katrina struck Louisi-
ana.
Even before Fairchild threw a
pitch in Lawrence, Kansas coach
Ritch Price said Fairchilds pres-
ence on the roster could only im-
prove the teams chances of go-
ing deep into the postseason.
The fact that he pitched at
Tulane in a Top 25 program and
hes been to the College World
Series, I thought he could really
bring some experience to our
staff that could be a great addi-
tion, Price said.
Fairchild only pitched as a
reliever at Tulane last season.
This season, Fairchild is a regu-
lar KU starter.
Hes done great, senior clos-
er Don Czyz said. I really didnt
expect him to come in here and
contribute as much as he did, but
hes already had two great starts
and hes defning his role as the
Saturday starter on this team and
thats something that we defnite-
ly needed.
In 10 1/3 innings of work this
season, Fairchild is 2-0 with a
2.61 ERA and fve strikeouts. He
has allowed only three earned
runs for No. 30 Kansas.
Fairchild has also proven to
be a valuable source of knowl-
edge for younger pitchers on
the team.
I go to Ricky mostly because
he has the most experience,
freshman pitcher Andy Marks
said. Hes been everywhere.
Being a native of Texas,
Fairchild said he looked forward
to playing against the Longhorns
the most but tries to keep from
looking too far into the future.
He will face No. 9 San Diego,
who swept then-No. 1 Texas two
weeks ago, on Saturday in the
Public Storage Classic.
In the near term, I cant
wait for this weekend, he said.
Whoever Im pitching against,
Im ready for that challenge.
New pitcher vital
Lisa Lipovac/KANSAN
Senior pitcher Ricky Fairchild transferred to KU from Tulane this season.
Fairchild went with Tulane to the College World Series last season.
I hope we havent seen the last
of legendary Oklahoma State
basketball coach Eddie Sutton
on the Cowboys sideline.
It would be a shame to see a
true college basketball legend
go out this way. He didnt coach
Oklahoma State against Kansas
on Monday, and will miss the rest
of the season after a car accident
last Friday sent him to the hospi-
tal. Sutton had been suffering from
back and neck pain all season and
was considering leaving the team
even before the accident.
Sutton doesnt receive the
credit he deserves on the na-
tional level, and he barely re-
ceives such credit around the
Midwest. Just look at the mans
credentials. His 794 career
coaching victories place him
eighth among the all-time Divi-
sion I leaders, ahead of revered
coaches like Phog Allen, John
Wooden and Lou Henson. Even
one of the men the Gallagher-
Iba Arena at Oklahoma State
is named after, Henry Iba, had
fewer victories than Sutton.
Only the best coach in basket-
ball history, Dean Smith, posted
more wins in his frst 35 years of
coaching than Sutton. Sutton has
taken his teams to the NCAA Bas-
ketball Tournament in 26 of 35
seasons at Creighton, Arkansas,
Kentucky and Oklahoma State.
In 15 seasons with the Cow-
boys before this year, his pro-
gram reached the tournament 13
times. To put that into perspec-
tive, Oklahoma State had only
made it to the Big Dance once in
the 25 years before Sutton took
over in 1990.
Sutton lacks a national cham-
pionship, but that should not
deter from his legacy or his Hall
of Fame status. Two Final Four
appearances at Oklahoma State
and one at Arkansas solidify his
place among the games elite.

After rattling off eight straight
victories, including four within
the past nine days, the Kansas
Jayhawks will now have four
full days of rest before facing the
Missouri Tigers on Saturday.
For some players, the layoff
will be welcomed with open
arms. The break will give them
a chance to rest injuries and
time to prepare for Missouri,
who shocked the team earlier
in the season in an overtime
thriller.
It feels good to have a couple
of days off, freshman guard
Mario Chalmers said. We
have a lot to work on though
to get ready for Missouri.
Chalmers has been a big
part of Kansas winning streak,
scoring in double fgures in
four straight games and being
named Big 12 Player of the
Week for his play against Ne-
braska and Iowa State.
With the past four games be-
ing played in such a small time
frame, freshman guard Bran-
don Rush said he wanted to
keep playing.
I think it is pretty good
that we have played this many
games in a row, Rush said.
We are going to take a quick
break and come back Saturday
and be ready for Missouri.
Rush said he thought that
Kansas was in better shape
than most of the teams that
they had played this season be-
cause of the treadmill work the
team has done at practice.
Kansas has won 15 of its
past 17 games, but this week
was the frst time its been
ranked in the national polls.
The Jayhawks were No. 22 in
both the coaches poll and the
Associated Press poll, which
were released Monday.
During the past eight games,
Selfs Jayhawks have averaged
80 points per game. Self said he
thought that the way the team
had been scoring was a reason
why the national coaches and
media had begun to take notice.
It has been a gradual pro-
cess, and the reason people
think we are playing so better
now is because we are scor-
ing the ball well, but we have
guarded and rebounded for the
most part during that stretch,
Self said.
Self has also seen his team
struggle at times during the
streak, including the frst 30
minutes of Mondays victory
against Oklahoma State.
We have become a decent
spurt team. We said all along
that we could be good at that,
Self said. We are not going
to play well for 40 minutes
because we are going to play
young through a period of
time, but when we play good,
we are pretty good.
Kansas now starts three
freshmen whose minutes per
game have increased, giving
more experience for his young
players.
The confdence is just grow-
ing. Those are some young kids
out there playing fairly fear-
less, Self said.

TURINO, Italy Finally,
what Canada has been waiting
for: hockey.
No more talk about Wayne
Gretzkys link to an alleged
gambling ring OK, at least
until he pokes his head into
one of the two rinks at the Turin
Olympics.
Or discussion about pos-
sible distractions for the play-
ers, who make
up what may be
the best Cana-
dian Olympic
team ever.
They say
whats going
on with Gretz-
ky has noth-
ing to do with
them winning
another gold.
The players
are pretty much
insulated here,
Gretzky said after arriving Tues-
day. Distractions dont matter
to them. Theyre here to play
the game ... and theyre ready to
play.
The games start today with
Canada playing Italy in what
could be a 10-goal game or
more.
The United States, silver
medalists in 2002 in Salt Lake
City while Canada won its frst
gold in 50 years, takes on Latvia
in the frst of its fve round-robin
games in pool play.
The Olympics stir a Super
Bowl-like reaction in Canada,
only everybody roots for the
same team. TV ratings for Can-
adas gold-medal win in 2002
were among the highest ever in
the country.
And this team, put together
mostly by executive director
Gretzky, is seen as the gold
medal favorite.
A New Jersey-based gambling
investigation alleges Rick Toc-
chet, Gretzkys top assistant
coach with the Phoenix Coy-
otes, fnanced an illegal betting
ring that supposably drew $1.7
million in bets in the weeks
leading to the Super Bowl.
Gretzky has
not been ques-
tioned, but his
wife, actress
Janet Jones, is
alleged to have
placed bets with
the group.
And the tim-
ing couldnt
have been
worse lead-
ing one Cana-
dian newspa-
per to question
if the probe was intentionally
timed to hurt Canadas chances
and improve the United States
in the Olympics.
The NHL only wishes Ameri-
cans paid such close attention
to hockey.
Canadas players are acting as
if Gretzkys troubles arent their
own, since he wont be taking
any shifts or leading any odd-
man rushes even though, at
age 45, the NHLs all-time lead-
ing scorer probably could.
Were excited hes coming
and that hell be a part of that,
team captain Joe Sakic said.
I know people are trying to
bring up, Whats going on with
Wayne? ... Its not an issue.

SESTRIERE, Italy Young
Ted Ligety gave the United
States the Olympic gold medal
that Bode Miller couldnt de-
liver Tuesday night, uncorking
two dynamic slalom runs to
win the mens combined and
break the Americans bad luck
in Alpine skiing.
The 21-year-old skier from
Park City, Utah, in his first
Olympics, had a combined
time of 3 minutes, 9.35 sec-
onds for the downhill and two
slalom runs. Ivica Kostelic of
Croatia won the silver medal,
53-hundredths of a second be-
hind the American at 3:09.88.
Rainer Schoenfelder of Aus-
tria captured the bronze at
3:10.67.
Austrian favorite Benjamin
Raich, the leader going into
the fnal slalom run, skied off
course, setting off a red-white-
and-blue celebration at the fn-
ish area.
Its incredible, Ligety said.
I cant believe it (happened) in
combined because Im not very
good in downhill.
He said it would have been
even better if Raich had fn-
ished.
I would prefer to win stand-
ing up to him, Ligety said.
U.S. skiers Steven Nyman
and Scott Macartney tackled
Ligety, and the three team-
mates rolled in the snow to-
gether. They rose, and Ligety
waved an American fag while
he was propped on the others
shoulders.
Im not surprised hes on the
podium, U.S. mens coach Phil
McNichol said. Im a bit sur-
prised he won gold.
It was only the fourth Olym-
pic Alpine gold medal ever for
U.S. men.
Ligety burst onto the world
scene with two thirds and a sec-
ond in this, his second World
Cup season, and it seemed only
a question of when, not if he
would be a winner.
It couldnt have come at a
better time for the frustrated
Americans.
Youve just got to get in the
starting gate and throw down
whatever youve got, Ligety said.
What he had was two near-
fawless slalom runs the nights
fastest at 43.84 seconds in his
clinching second run and 44.09
seconds in the frst, .01 slower
than the best time of that leg.
On the fnal run, he attacked
the steep part of the course at
the start but gained most of his
time with a sweep through the
middle section, dashing between
gates with a perfect aggressive
rhythm.
Miller was disqualifed for strad-
dling a gate in the frst run, just
when he seemed to have built a
commanding lead for his elusive
frst Olympic gold medal.
The disqualifcation gave the
lead temporarily to Raich, who had
trailed Miller by nearly a second.
The U.S. team decided not to
protest
We looked at it enough times,
said program director Jesse Hunt.
Were satisfed.
Miller was nonchalant.
Ive straddled probably more
times that most people have fn-
ished the slalom, he told reporters
at the bottom of the run.
If its clear, its clear, Miller said.

as of Tuesdays events
By Barry Wilner
TURINO, Italy Evgeni
Plushenkos biggest fan Tuesday
night was his closest competitor
U.S. champion Johnny Weir.
Weir marveled at the 90.66
points the Russian star put up
in the Olympic mens short pro-
gram. Plushenkos personal best
gave him more than a 10-point
lead over the three-time U.S.
champ, a massive gap.
Its wild. I didnt think any-
one would get above 80.00,
Weir said.
Plushenko soared far beyond
it and pretty much put the gold
medal in his pocket, even if he
wouldnt say so.
Its a lot of pressure right
now, guys, come on, Plushenko
said. Nothing happened. I just
skated today perfect and did my
job.
Plushenko, winner of three
world titles, was Weirs pick for
gold before the Olympics be-
gan and Weir still doesnt think
theres much of a chance hell
lose in Thursday nights free
skate.
If he falls three times, maybe,
just maybe someone can squeeze
by, Weir said.
From the moment he stepped
on the ice until the conclusion
of his short program to Puccinis
Tosca, Plushenko never fashed
even a hint of a smile. This was
all business and business was
good for the 2002 Olympic silver
medalist.
He nailed every element, from
a quad toe loop-triple toe loop
combination to a solid triple axel
to complex footwork into a triple
lutz. Only when his fnal combi-
nation spin ended did he lighten
up, going from intense concen-
tration to a series of fst pumps.
He seemed more relieved than
excited.
I am very happy I achieved a
new personal best, said Plush-
enko, who admitted he was a
little bit sick earlier this week.
I did it in the Olympic Games.
It is very important to me. Every-
thing was clean.
The recently married Plush-
enko clowned it up when his
score was posted. He kissed his
wedding ring and blew kisses
into the camera for his wife,
Maria.
A nice Valentines Day pres-
ent.
Weir got one, too a person-
al-best 80.00 score.
Its over, its done, its Valen-
tines Day and I can go buy my-
self a rose and some chocolate,
he said.
World champion Stephane
Lambiel was third with 79.04
points.
Im going to fght, Lambiel
said. I have to check whats
wrong for the free program.
When the event favorite posts
that kind of number, particularly
out of the second slot among 30
skaters, the chase can be futile.
As it was for Jeff Buttle, the
2005 world silver medalist trying
to become Canadas frst mens
Olympic champion.
His playful routine to Sing
Sing Sing was ruined by a fall on
a triple axel. He fnished sixth.
Obviously, Ive been getting
more pressure than I am used to,
but I should be able to handle
that, he said. More than any-
thing, it was the pressure I put on
myself.
Im not even going to think
about a medal, he said.
Lambiel was the next top con-
tender, skating to a new Cirque
du Soleil program.
It pays to show something
new and refreshing, he said.
It also pays to hit everything
you try.
He eliminated any chance for
frst place with his opening ele-
ment, cutting a triple axel into a
double. Its a jump he tends to
struggle with, but Lambiel didnt
let it destroy his program.
Some excellent spins, includ-
ing one where he touches his
boot in mid-spin, and a quad-
triple combination were enough
for third, but barely within sight
of Plushenko.
I was supposed to do the
triple, I was prepared for it, he
said. I dont know what hap-
pened. I opened too early.
Lambiel won the world cham-
pionships in great part because
Plushenko had groin problems
that eventually required surgery.
Weir fnished fourth in that
event, but on Tuesday his elegant
portrayal of a swan featured
perhaps the best triple axel of
the night and a superb pancake
spin.
His triple fip was shaky,
though, as were some other
spins, and he didnt hold posi-
tion very well on his fnal spin.
Its good, it defnitely was
not my best. I didnt feel my best
and I was tripping all over at the
end, he said. Ive been touted
as Americas next medal hope.
As long as I go well, I cant see
why not. I will defnitely race for
silver.
Teammates Evan Lysacek
and Matt Savoie wont. Lysacek
crashed on his opening triple
axel, seemed to recover, but later
cut a triple fip to a double, en-
suring he would plummet in
the standings. The 2005 world
bronze medalist stood 10th, two
spots in back of Savoie.
I had an off night, not good to
do it at the Olympics, Lysacek
said. Maybe because it was the
Olympics I wanted to prepare
that much more and it kind of
backfred.
Maybe I sensed the wall
coming up too close, Lysacek
said. Maybe I pulled up too
soon.
United States 2006 pairs fgure skating champion John Baldwin holds up
an American fag while Evan Lysacek of the United States prepares for his
performance at the Mens Figure Skating short program at the Turin 2006
Winter Olympic Games in Turino, Italy, on Tuesday. Baldwin competed in the
pairs fnals competition Monday, Feb. 13 but failed to win a medal.

Kansas senior outfelder Matt Baty said he
would play this weekend in the Public Storage
Classic in Los Angeles.
Baty re-aggravated a knee injury that he has
had throughout his career with the Jayhawks.
He missed the last three innings of Sundays
game against Stanford after his knee gave out
while felding a ground ball in center feld.
Ive been bouncing back from injuries all
four years here, Baty said. Theres nothing to
worry about. Ill be ready to play come game
time.
Kansas coach Ritch Price could not comment
on the extent of Batys injury on Sunday night,
and left it up to Baty to inform reporters of his
status.
Although he did not practice on Tuesday, Baty
said he had no plans to sit out this weekend.
No. 30 Kansas will take on No. 9 San Diego,
USC and Vanderbilt in the tournament, which
starts Friday.

Southern Illinois coach
has tumor removed,
expected to recover
CARBONDALE, Ill. South-
ern Illinois football coach Jerry
Kill said Tuesday he had a can-
cerous tumor removed from
one of his kidneys last month,
having opted to wait a couple
of months to have the op-
eration until after the Salukis
season was over.
Kill, 44, said he expected a
full recovery and that doctors
have found no evidence the
cancer had spread.
Im doing fne, said Kill,
whose cancer was frst re-
ported Tuesday by the South-
ern Illinoisan newspaper in
Carbondale, home of the Salu-
kis. Cancer is just an obstacle
thats come up, and now I have
to overcome it.
Kill, who told the Salukis
of the cancer last week, said
doctors have been scrutiniz-
ing whether the cancer was
linked to a series of seizures
Kill weathered last fall, includ-
ing one on the sidelines in the
waning seconds of an Oct. 15
home loss to Illinois State.
Theres a possibility the
medical issues are related, Kill
said.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)HHH You
could easily feel as if you are in the
trenches. News or gossip might force
you to put your thinking cap on. You
will be able to sort through what is real-
istic and worthwhile to pursue. Others
could give you false advice.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)HHHHH
A confict might occur between what
you think you want to do and the
end results. Your light and frivolous
side doesnt always emerge, but sure
enough, today you yes, you might
get faky. A partner reacts.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Con-
tinue maintaining a low profle, for your
own sake. Others could be inordinately
touchy and diffcult. You might not want
to deal with them, though youll have
little choice. Others could get a bit up-
pity. You can handle it.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH
Speak your mind loud and clear.
Someone you need to deal with care-
fully could be in an absolute twit. Hold
on tight and dont lose your temper, as
you might need to revamp your plans.
Important information heads in your
direction. Return calls.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH You
might not be sure how you want to
handle a personal matter. Risk-taking is
a no-no right now. Dont be surprised
at what occurs if you lie back and let
others play out their agendas. Let them
see the results.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH
Review a personal matter, knowing
that you might need to make a mental
or physical adjustment. This change
is as hard as you want to make it. You
have every ability to cruise through any
boomerangs if you detach.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH You
might easily stick your foot in your
mouth, causing a lot of problems. You
will want to muzzle yourself, espe-
cially after a potential incident. Work on
detaching, and youll become far more
comfortable in your skin.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH
Aim for precisely what you want,
though dont be surprised if it costs
you a bit more than you think. Use the
daylight hours, when you naturally
have more punch. Use the later day for
refection and thought.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH
Let problems bypass you as if they
were waves and you were the skipper
of a boat. You will love what eventually
comes down. Others will simply want
to jump in and join you.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH
Though you might be upset or swallow-
ing anger, refuse to jump to a conclu-
sion. Seek out facts before you make
a mistake or a judgment. You might
change your perspective.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH
As you determine your limits, you
would be wise to test them on a close
friend or associate. You truly might not
want to hear what he or she says, but
you absolutely must. How you view a
friend changes.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH
Others could drive you stark raving
mad if you let them. Dont. Remember
who you are and where you are coming
from OK? Review a situation openly.
Something or someone could easily
change his tune if you dont corner him.

6B THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 2006 SPORTS
Sutton
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
Suttons character should
also warrant respect. His Fi-
nal Four team in 2004 was
made up of eight transfer
students, one of which, John
Lucas, who had gone through
the Baylor mess the year be-
fore.
Four of the five starters,
including Lucas, came from
major universities and sought
a better opportunity at Okla-
homa State under Sutton. The
old coach gave them a home
in Stillwater, and somehow
molded a championship-cali-
ber team that went 31-4 and
won the Big 12 title.
Sutton was also at the heart
of the ultimate show of class
and sportsmanship that I will
remember from my time at
the University of Kansas, Se-
nior Day at Allen Fieldhouse
in 2003. As time was winding
down on a Jayhawk victory
over the Cowboys, Sutton
walked over to the Kansas
bench and shook hands with
seniors Kirk Hinrich and
Nick Collison, two of the
most recent Kansas basket-
ball legends.
He didnt have to do it; his
team was being smoked and
ended up losing by 18 points.
But Im sure nobody in atten-
dance that day will forget the
appreciation Sutton showed
for two men who contributed
to the success of the sport he
loved.
A legend like Sutton should
go out on his own terms. His
son, Sean, is waiting in the
wings, but hopefully Eddie will
get healthy and return for one
last season next year. His young
team will be mature by then,
and could help him make a run
at the Big 12 Championship.
I would like to see he and

The Kansas track and field
team should be rested with
more than a week left until the
Big 12 Indoor Championship.
After four weekends com-
peting across the Midwest
from Iowa to Arkansas, the
team will have this weekend
off.
The past four weeks, the
team has been improving, and
thats what were looking for,
coach Stanley Redwine said.
Leading the way for the Jay-
hawks has been the throwing
tandem of senior Sheldon Bat-
tle and sophomore Egor Aga-
fonov. Battle qualified for the
NCAA Indoor Championships
in both events.
Hopefully I can stay con-
sistent with my technique
and can continue to compete
well, Battle said.
Agafonov, who started
competing with the Jayhawks
at the Husker Invitational
two weeks ago, has added an-
other punch to the field side
of the team.
Both throwers were ranked
on trackwire.com, a Web
site that ranks college track
athletes and teams. The site
ranked Battle No. 2 in the na-
tion in the shot put and No.
8 in the weight throw. Aga-
fonov ranked No. 1 in the
weight throw.
Also catching a spot the
Dandy Dozen list was Kan-
sas middle-distance runner
Benson Chesang at No. 10.
Chesang said it was his first
time to be ranked in anything,
and that it was a good feeling.
My goals this year are to
win indoor, get to nationals
and win, Chesang said.
Redwine said that although
he didnt follow the Web site,
the rankings could motivate
the team.
Its an honor to the ath-
letes to be ranked, Redwine
said. It can be a good thing
for them.
Other Big 12 teams ranked
on the Web site were No. 2
Texas, No. 6 Nebraska and
No. 15 Texas A&M.
The Big 12 Championship
will take place February 24 to
25 in Lincoln, Neb.

Reebok shoe campaign
BY MARK JEWELL
CANTON, Mass. The im-
ages that sell Reebok sneak-
ers these days are edgy.
One ad depicts the devil.
Another has fingerprints on
what appears to be a police
booking form, as rapper 50
Cent advises buyers to take
advantage of today because
tomorrow is not promised.
A controversial television
ad last year had 50 Cent, a
former drug dealer who has
rapped about being shot nine
times, counting aloud the bul-
lets that were fired at him.
The rapper laughs and then
looks into the camera as a
voiceover asks, Who do you
plan to massacre next? The
ad was withdrawn in Great
Britain.
Reeboks I am what I am
campaign is a significant shift
for the sneaker brand that
first gained traction pitch-
ing subtly styled, lightweight
shoes to American women
who embraced the aerobics
phenomenon of the 1980s.
These days, however,
theres more money in selling
to teenage malesa reality
not lost upon Adidas-Salo-
mon AG, which completed a
$3.8 billion buyout of Ree-
bok International Ltd. Jan.
31 and plans to keep the Ree-
bok brand name alive. Ree-
boks profits rose more than
20 percent in both 2003 and
2004, and were up 37 percent
through the first nine months
of last year.
Adidas must now decide
whether to stick with a mar-
keting campaign that has
yielded short-term sales gains
among younger consumers.
But the campaign is anger-
ing activistsalthough it has
spurred no boycottsand
industry analysts say it also
risks alienating customers
who prize sneaker perfor-
mance over fashion.
Promotion and marketing
footwear, or any clothing, is
not, and must not be a mon-
eymaking tool referencing
gun violence, drugs or gangs,
said Liz Bishop-Goldsmith,
president of Rosedale, N.Y.-
based Mothers Against Guns.
Reebok, which has also fea-
tured rapper Jay-Z, has gone
further than market leader
Nike Inc. and other rivals in
embracing hip-hop culture
and youth-oriented entertain-
ment alongside athletics.
Reeboks hip-hop foray
began in 2002 with the street-
inspired RbK line, and in
November the company an-
nounced it would begin pro-
ducing Reebok-branded TV
programs for a new Comcast
Corp. on-demand hip-hop
channel.
Reeboks chief marketing
officer, Dennis Baldwin, said
market research conducted
after a late 1990s sales down-
turn revealed Reebok needed
to retrench in response to a
changing youth market.

Tip-off
Husker game to determine Hawks future
OFFENSE
A lackluster offensive performance at Missouri
raised eyebrows, as offense has typically been the
strength of this team. Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson
attributed it to her players standing around while one
player tried to make a play by herself. Kansas main
offensive threats, senior forward Crystal Kemp and se-
nior guard Erica Hallman, usually play almost all of the
game, so its important for them to be active, especially
toward the end of a long season. The problems arent
a mystery, or as Henrickson put it: Theres nothing
wrong with the offenses we run.
DEFENSE
Sophomore forward Taylor McIntosh has come on
strong, and her rebounding has helped the Jayhawks
immensely. Still, the negatives far outweigh the posi-
tives in this category. The most important thing for
Kansas will be to adjust when Nebraska starts using
motion and sets picks to create open shots. If the Jay-
hawks defenders cant follow the ball, the Cornhusk-
ers will take advantage of every opportunity.
Michael Phillips
No Kansas team wants to
lose to Missouri, and certainly
not in the fashion the Jay-
hawks did on Saturday. After
leading the frst 34 minutes
of the game, the Jayhawks
watched the Tigers make a late
run for a 64-57 victory. The loss
almost certainly eliminates
Kansas chance of playing in
the NCAA Tournament.
Freshman guard Ivana Catic.
With the suspension of junior
guard Shaquina Mosley, there
is no margin of error for Catic.
She must have a big game,
or she will allow Nebraskas
defense to double-team senior
guard Erica Hallman.
2 The number of games
Kansas has won in its last 10.
15 The number of times
senior forward Crystal Kemp
has been the leading scorer
this season.
2001 The last year a Jay-
hawk was named to the Aca-
demic All-District Team before
Kemp was named last week.
If the Jayhawks are go-
ing to make a late-season
run into the WNIT, this is
the game to do it. Tonights
game is probably the most
favorable for the rest of the
season, and will be a good
gauge as to whether the
Jayhawks are fghting out the
season or packing up and go-
ing home for the offseason.
Nebraska started slowly
on Saturday and lost 69-50 to
Texas A&M. Freshman forward
Kelsey Griffn played one of
the best games of her career
against the Aggies. Griffn
scored 20 points on 9-of-10
shooting from the feld, along
with fve rebounds and three
steals.
Junior guard Kiera Hardy is
one of the Big 12 Conferences
top guards. Shes eighth on
the conference scoring list,
averaging 17 points a game.
In the previous meeting be-
tween the two teams, Hardy
scored a game-high 26 points,
including four three-pointers.
3 The number of consecu-
tive losses by the Cornhusk-
ers.
51.9 Nebraskas feld goal
percentage in its earlier meet-
ing with Kansas last month.
68.5 The Cornhuskers aver-
age point total per game.
Kansas could not an-
swer Hardys hot shooting
when the two teams met in
January in Lincoln, Neb. The
Jayhawks have had diffi-
culty in conference play this
season on defense; several
opponents have shot at least
40 percent from the field
against them. If Hardy can
catch fire again, it could be
a long night defensively for
Kansas.
OFFENSE
The Cornhuskers have a solid inside-outside
combination in Kelsey Griffn and Kiera Hardy.
Both rank in the top 10 in the conference in scor-
ing. Nebraska ranks in the middle of the pack
in the conference in both scoring and feld goal
percentage. Effective play from Griffn and Hardy
was too much in the frst meeting, and it could
be again tonight.
DEFENSE
A zone defense in the teams earlier meeting
sent Kansas offense into a deep funk. The zone
can be effective against the Jayhawks, especial-
ly if the three-point shots arent falling. For Ne-
braska, the key will be denying Kansas access
into the paint with senior forward Crystal Kemp.
If it can limit Kemps touches, it forces Kansas
streaky shooting guards to win the game.

Missouri to investigate
Snyders departure
COLUMBIA, Mo. The
University of Missouri will
investigate the handling of
coach Quin Snyders sudden
departure last week, univer-
sity officials said Tuesday.
Snyder stepped down on
Friday, a day after vowing to
finish his seventh season at
the school. The Kansas City
Star reported that athletic di-
rector Mike Alden sent Gary
Link, a basketball analyst
who is also his special assis-
tant, to inform Snyder that
he would not be retained.
The investigation appar-
ently will begin with an in-
terview of Link, who has had
no comment about his role
in the matter. Alden has said
that he asked Link to gauge
how hes doing but not to
inform Snyder that he was a
lame duck. He did not return
phone calls Tuesday.
Missouri won its first
game without Snyder on
Sunday, ending a six-game
losing streak behind interim
coach Melvin Watkins, and
is 11-11 (4-7 Big 12) with
five regular-season games
remaining.
University spokesman
Joe Moore said Elson Floyd,
president of the University
of Missouris four-campus
system, asked Chancellor
Brady Deaton to investigate
the situation. Chad Moller,
the schools sports informa-
tion director, also confirmed
the decision.
Dr. Floyd did ask Chancel-
lor Deaton to look into some
questions regarding events
surrounding Coach Snyders
decision to depart, Moore said.
He declined further comment.
Wooldridge returns to
team after surgery
MANHATTAN, Kan. Kan-
sas State head coach Jim
Wooldridge will be back with
the team Wednesday night at
Texas Tech, one week after he
underwent neck surgery.
The school said he returned
to practice on Tuesday and felt
well enough to make the trip
to Lubbock, Texas. He missed
two games, a victory against
Iowa State and a loss at Mis-
souri. Wooldridge planned to
travel separately on Wednes-
day.
The 50-year-old Wooldridge
underwent a successful op-
eration that lasted nearly two
hours on Feb. 8.
Doctors removed a bulg-
ing disk in his neck and fused
the C3-4 vertebrae. He was
released from the hospital the
next day.
Mass Beverage: Changing the Way You Buy Liquor
Five months ago, a liquor store called Mass Beverage
opened in south Lawrence and has raised the standard
for customer service, selection, and low prices.
According to Yellowbook.com, there are more than 25
liquor stores in Lawrence. Most of them are cramped
spaces nlled with the same choices, but Mass Beverage
is not an average liquor store.
Located near Target at 3131 Nieder Rd., Mass
Beverage is one of the nrst liquor stores in Lawrence to
make customer service a real priority. Unlike other
liquor stores where the clerks are there to inspect your
I.D. and take your money, the sta at Mass Beverage
circulates through the store to help you nnd the
perfect wine or spirit you are after.
Kasey Lemos, an employee at Mass Beverage, says the
sta makes each customer a priority.
We make sure students get exactly what they need,
and we can answer any liquor questions they have,"
said Lemos.

SWIG
Of course, Lemos is accustomed to answering
questions. In addition to having a great sta, Mass
Beverage also provides the widest variety of wine, beer
and liquor in Lawrence.
In fact, Mass Beverage is so committed to its
customers they have a request list. Kelly Steinle works
at Mass Beverage and says patrons feel important when
something is ordered just for them.
Our customer request list is another big benent to
shopping at Mass Beverage," said Steinle. ere aren't
many places that care about their customers as much as
we do."

In addition to these benents, Mass Beverage is also one
of the most aordable places to buy your wine, beer and
