his car keys and left his

oUI vs. dUI: what’s the dIffereNCe?
WhAt’s An OUI?
Operating under the infuence is the city charge for
driving a vehicle under the infuence of alcohol. OUIs
are given by Lawrence and KU police offcers only.
OUI charges are handled through the Municipal Court.
WhAt’s A DUI?
Driving under the infuence of alcohol is a charge giv-
en by state law enforcement offcers such as sheriffs.
DUI charges are handled through a district court in the
state. Generally, fnes and punishments are greater if
the offender gets a DUI instead of an OUI.

Graduating greek students can still stay in-
volved in the greek community even as they leave
campus and enter the working world. Different
fraternity and sorority national headquarters hire
consultants to help advocate their organizations.
Chapter consultants are typically representa-
tives of a national organization who visit local
chapters to assist with general chapter operations,
special areas a chapter is focusing on, and recruit-
ment efforts, said Laura Bauer, program director
for fraternity and sorority life.
Consultants spend four to fve days with each
chapter organization.
Anna Clovis, Fairfax, Okla., alumna, is a full-
time chapter consultant for Alpha Chi Omega.
Clovis said she loved her job because it’s a chal-
lenging, multi-fashioned position that allowed her
to travel.
She said you could look at the business like a
franchise of a chain restaurant.
She works during her one-year contract to help
out the different franchises, making sure they are
on their feet. She said she spoke with each chap-
ter about leadership, risk management and chap-
ter management, and helped with any necessary
tasks before moving on to the next.
The position still has its diffculties. Clovis said
it’s temporary and it required a lot of change and
fexibility.
Bauer traveled as a consultant for Delta Zeta
for the 2000-2001 school year.
She said most people didn’t get the opportunity
in their jobs to travel and work with people across
the country. An organization can hire anywhere
between fve and 15 consultants, who visit the dif-
ferent chapters at least once a semester.
Clovis said the structure in her organization
was unique in that she only conducted on-site
visits 60 percent of her time, whereas most other
organizations’ consultants travel 100 percent of
their time.
The other 40 percent she works from her home
in Lawrence.
Bauer said the attributes picked up as a greek
consultant were transferable to other career paths.
They must be adaptable to their environments,
have good customer service skills and the ability
to work with large groups.
Fraternities also hire consultants. Scott Fer-
guson, interfraternity council president, said the
fraternity chapter consultants had a two-year po-
sition, unlike the one-year positions offered for
sorority chapter consultants.
More information on chapter consultants and
the process of becoming one can be found by con-
tacting a specifc national organization.

Wednesday was Becca Ingra-
ham’s lucky day. The meter she
parked at on Daisy Hill ran out
of time, but she escaped without
a ticket.
It’s not an uncommon prac-
tice for KU students to not pay
when they park at a meter. In
fact, it’s what a majority of stu-
dents who park at meters do.
A study commissioned by the
Parking Department last year said
that only 30 percent of the occu-
pied parking meters on campus
are paid at any given time. There
are 262 meters total.

Representatives of the Salvation Army agreed
fundraising for a new building will be completed
by the end of this year.
A public meeting was held Wednesday night to
discuss eight new points to add to the site plan for
the new location of the Salvation Army, at Haskell
Avenue and 19th Street.
One of the eight points that the Salvation Army
touched on included what services the Salva-
tion Army would provide, such as mental health
services, recreational programs and recovery
groups. It also said that services would be refused
to homeless who came intoxicated. They then
would be offered transportation to the Lawrence
Community Shelter or the Lawrence Police De-
partment. The Salvation Army also would “not
knowingly admit sex offenders into the homeless
rehabilitative residential program.” Every person
in the program would be screened by the KDI Of-
fender Registry.
Rebecca Simmons, director of social services for
the Salvation Army, spoke on behalf of the various
services that would be offered at the new location,
because they weren’t available before. She said that
programs would help determine why the person was
homeless and give hope to them not being home-
less again. Helen Hartnett, KU assistant professor
of social welfare and a member of the Community
Commission on Homeless, said during public com-
ment, that she was concerned with the new points
being added because they involved other agencies
that were not present at Wednesday’s meeting.
“I think the issue is broader than this, it is not
just about one agency, not just one neighbor-
hood,” she said.
Justine Burton, a Lawrence resident from the
surrounding neighborhood of the new location,
expressed concerns with the Salvation Army be-
ing near a park where families lived.
“I fear that the park will become a haven for
them,” Burton said. “People like to hang out at
the current Salvation Army, and I see that. I feel
that if the new location is brought to the east side,
the same thing is going to happen.”

t volunteerism
Richard Friesner, the Albuquerque, N.M., grad-
uate student who ran back and forth on Jayhawk
Boulevard Wednesday to encourage donations for
Jubilee Café, reached — and surpassed — his goal
of $3,000 about 8:45 that night.
Friesner raised almost $4,000 for Jubilee Café, a
program through the Center for Community Out-
reach that provides a restaurant-style breakfast to
needy citizens every Tuesday and Friday morn-
ing.
To reach his goal, Friesner was prepared to run
for 72 hours with three two-hour breaks as his

The KU Bookstores annual
sidewalk sale began Wednesday
at the front plaza of the Kansas
Union, but had to end the frst
day early because of rain.
The sale gave shoppers the
opportunity to purchase clothes,
stickers and other University of
Kansas merchandise at a dis-
counted rate.
Jessica Hopkins, Bonner
Springs senior, visited the sale
when she got out of class yes-
terday.
“I like to shop,” Hopkins said,
wearing a KU workout jacket.
“Half my clothes are KU.”
Hopkins purchased baby
clothes for a friend and a KU
shirt for her dad.
Steve Rhodes, assistant direc-
tor of the KU Bookstores, said
business had been good even
though the weather wasn’t.
Rain forced bookstore em-
ployees to end the sale about
12:30 p.m. Wednesday, but
Rhodes thought the sale would
go until 4 p.m. today. He said
hooded sweatshirts and $5 T-
shirts were popular clothes, and
most items were sold at a 50 per-
cent discount or greater.
The annual sale is necessary,
he said, because the bookstores
need to move old items to make
room for new merchandise in
the fall. Unsold items from the
sale will return to the book-
store.
All sale proceeds go to stu-
dent programs.

Meters
continued from page 1a
Why don’t KU students pay
the meters? One theory is that
it’s easier just to pay the fne
than to put change in the meter.
Ingraham, Lenexa freshman,
said she usually tried to pay, but
came up short at times.
“Since it’s like three minutes
for a nickel, it doesn’t do me
much good,” she said.
Meter costs range from $1 an
hour on Daisy Hill to $1.50 an
hour at the Burge Union.
According to the study, en-
titled Ten-Year Parking Strategy
Final Report, the fne is viewed
by some not as a penalty for
breaking the law, but as the go-
ing rate for parking in a given
spot. At the time of the study, in
2004, the fne was $5 for park-
ing at an expired meter. It was
recommended by the study that
the department raise the penalty,
and it is currently $10.
“There are lots of tickets be-
cause people are willing to pay the
price for the convenience of the
spaces they want,” the study said.
It also offers a word of caution
for students who think they can
escape before fnding a pink ticket
on their car. More than one out of
every three violators gets caught,
making for what they study calls, a
very effcient “capture rate.”
Cars can get ticketed multiple
times in a day. Donna Hultine,
director of parking services, said a
vehicle could be re-ticketed every
time it exceeded the posted length
on a meter. If a non payer parks
at a 20-minute meter, he can be
ticketed every 20 minutes; at an
hour-long meter, he can be tick-
eted every hour. Hultine said it
was not unheard of for students
to use the meters as an alterna-
tive to other parking lots.
“I do know that there are stu-
dents who prefer to use metered
parking rather than buy a per-
mit,” she said.
The University of Kansas also
has an advantage over tradition-
al meter sites, such as the city of
Lawrence, because it is better at
demanding payment for tickets.
Students who don’t pay a ticket
are unable to enroll in classes.
That threat appears to be what
motivates students to pay the
ticket. Within the frst month af-
ter writing a ticket, 55 percent of
the fnes have been paid. Vince
Meserko, Overland Park sopho-
more, belongs to that group.
“I always try to pay right away
and get it taken care of,” he said.
Other students take their
time, but within one year, 87
percent of all tickets get paid.
The study said those violations
add up to $725,000 a year for the
parking department. That is far
more than the $90,000 in coins
that people drop into the meter
each year. Ingraham has contribut-
ed her fair share to both amounts.
Since arriving at the University
last semester, she said she had re-
ceived at least four tickets.
“I think I’ve paid more in
parking tickets than I have for
food or books,” she said.

Victims of faked birth
urged to come forward
INDEPENDENCE, Mo. — Pros-
ecutors pleaded Wednesday
for victims of a scam in which
a couple faked the birth of
sextuplets to come forward so
that charges could possibly be
upgraded.
Sarah and Kris Everson, of
Grain Valley, appeared in Jack-
son County Circuit Court for a
preliminary hearing, which was
continued until June 21. The
Eversons are charged with theft
for soliciting gifts from neigh-
bors after concocting a complex
tale of their multiple births.
Mike Sanders, the Jackson
County prosecutor, said an
investigation into how much
the couple actually collected
was ongoing, but the total was
more than $3,500. The amount
was believed to be higher,
he said, but authorities need
those who gave to the couple
to acknowledge they were
scammed.
Charges could be upgraded
if the tally were to reach
$25,000.
Grain Valley community
leaders have said Sarah, who
is 45, and Kris, 34, came to
them in March, saying they
had delivered six critically ill
babies and needed help.
Within days of the story
appearing on the front of the
local paper here, The Examin-
er, the couple was barraged by
questions from the media and
ultimately admitted to report-
ers and police that the entire
thing was a lie. They said they
needed the cash.

When police showed up,
Switzer was too drunk to dis-
tinguish his driver’s license from
other cards, so he handed his
entire wallet to the offcer.
“I’m never going to drink and
drive again,” he said about his
experience. “I can tell you that
because it’s just a huge hassle. It
changes the way you live.”
Switzer, now a senior from
Shawnee, was one of 83 KU stu-
dents busted and punished for
operating a vehicle under the in-
fuence of alcohol in Lawrence
in 2005. He and the other of-
fenders learned that the costs go
far beyond the fnes, court costs,
attorney fees and lost driving
privileges. Those costs can in-
clude alcohol evaluations and
counseling, drastically higher
insurance premiums, and a di-
minished social life and future
job prospects.
The long process
Dana Schongar, who tried to
follow another car from a frater-
nity party to his friend’s place at
Highpointe Apartments at 6th
and Iowa streets, ended up on
the opposite side of the road curb
asleep at the wheel at 6th and
Kasold Drive. He was awakened
by a cop tapping on his window.
Schongar, Lenexa senior,
had to take a feld sobriety test,
which he barely remembers oth-
er than that he failed it. What
usually happens is walking a
straight line, standing on one
leg, and/or saying the ABC’s
backwards.
Police are required to have
special training to perform a
breathalizer, and neither arrest-
ing offcer did, so Switzer and
Schongar had to go to jail to
do it. Switzer’s car was totaled,
but Schongar’s was OK. They
couldn’t leave their cars in the
street, so they had to be towed.
The Lawrence Police Depart-
ment has cars towed by Hill-
crest Wrecker and Garage Inc.
at the owner’s expense for a fee
of $80.
Both men had to wait 20 min-
utes before taking the breatha-
lizer. J.C. Gilroy, a former po-
liceman and Lawrence lawyer
who specializes in operating
under the infuence cases, said
that during that time the driver
can’t chew gum, eat or drink to
make sure the test results aren’t
altered.
If an uncertifed offcer per-
forms the test, the evidence
can’t be used in court.
The legal limit for people
under age 21 who have been
drinking and driving is .02. If
the blood alcohol content is be-
tween .02 and .08, a driver will
get an OUI and lose his license
for 30 days. If it’s above .08, he
will lose his license for one year.
For a driver over 21, the blood
alcohol content can be up to .08
before he will get an OUI.
Switzer was three weeks
ahead of his 21st birthday. That
means his blood alcohol con-
tent had to be less than 0.02 to
pass the breathalizer test.
His was .196. He lost his li-
cense for a year.
Driver’s licenses are not
taken away by the court; the
Driver Control Bureau at the
state level handles restricting of
licenses.
According to the Kansas
Department of Transportation
Web site, the cost of reinstating
a suspended license is $100 for
the frst offense and goes up for
each offense after that.
Schongar escaped without
losing his license only because
the offcer who performed the
breathalizer did not show up for
his court date, and his lawyer ar-
gued that it couldn’t be proven
that he was too intoxicated to
drive without that offcer pres-
ent.

Blood alcohol content is the con-
centration of alcohol in blood, measured,
by volume, as a percentage. For example,
a BAC of 0.20% means 1 part per 500 in
an individual’s blood is alcohol. In most
countries, the blood alcohol content
is measured and reported as grams
of alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood
(g/100ml).

Both Schongar and Switzer
had to spend a night in jail.
Bondsmen will bail people out
for a charge of 10 percent of the
bail, but neither got bailed out.
If the driver doesn’t show up in
court for his arraignment, or frst
appearance, where the charges
are formally read, a warrant for
his arrest is issued, and he loses
his bail money, Gilroy said.
Once out of jail, both men
could drive until their arraign-
ment dates. During that time,
Schongar got a lawyer and Swit-
zer applied for a diversion with
the help of his lawyer father.
Diversions usually require an
alcohol evaluation, at least an
eight-hour alcohol information
school taught by a counselor,
license suspension for a given
amount of time depending on
the age and blood alcohol con-
tent of the person, community
service, payment of a fee for the
diversion and generally staying
out of trouble with the law for
one year.
Switzer had to do all of that
except that he had individualized
alcohol counseling over a longer
period of time rather than eight
hours in a class. After that time
has passed and all requirements
are met, the person can have the
OUI taken off his record.
For people with more than
one offense, diversions are al-
most never given, said Jerry
Little, the Lawrence city pros-
ecutor. The fne increases with
each OUI, and the third is con-
sidered a felony and the case is
moved from Municipal to Dis-
trict Court.

monetary losses
Getting an OUI costs more
than a fne, though the costs
vary drastically for each person.
Fines range from $500 to
$1,000, Lawrence Municipal
Court costs are $42 and bail
costs vary. If a diversion is grant-
ed, the driver pays $150 for an
alcohol prevention fund fee that
goes toward his alcohol evalu-
ation and at least $80 for the
minimum eight-hour session. A
lawyer charges between $500
and $750 for a diversion, Gilroy
said. He charges $750, but if he
has to go to court, it would be
$1,000 to $1,500. The diversion
fee, about $750, can vary as well,
and the towing costs $80.
Schongar said he paid $500
for bail, $1,500 for a lawyer,
and $700 for a diversion, but es-
caped other fees because he did
not lose his license. He said he
had money saved up from work-
ing and could afford the cost
without his parents’ help.
“It was a pretty nice chunk of
my own change,” he said.
Another chunk of change
OUI offenders will pay in the fu-
ture, when they can start driving
again, is a higher insurance pre-
mium — if they can get insur-
ance at all. Switzer had to buy a
bike and otherwise pay the cost
of transportation to work or
school. He will also eventually
face the cost of buying a new car
and possible trouble getting fu-
ture jobs.
Some insurance companies
won’t insure drivers who have
an OUI, especially those be-
tween the ages of 16 and 21,
Carrie Sink of Charlton Manley
Insurance Agency said. Of the
nine insurance companies her
agency represents, only two,
Progressive and Victorias, will
insure OUI offenders. Sink said
an OUI could bump a driver’s
insurance premium from $1,500
per year to more than $2,000.
Switzer is still feeling the eco-
nomic impact of his OUI. With-
out a driver’s license, he had to
give up his high-paying waiter
job at Carrabba’s Italian Grill
in Kansas City. Instead, he now
rides his red Trek mountain bike
up the street from his apartment
in Meadowbrook Apartments,
Bob Billings Parkway and Crest-
line Drive, to his low-paying job
at Mr. Goodcents, Bob Billings
and Kasold. He said he even
rides his bike to bars occasion-
ally.
Although he did get work, he
said some applications asked
whether he had received an
OUI.
Jennifer Pozzuolo of Man-
power Inc., a job placement
company in Lawrence, said
not having a driver’s license
can restrict where you work.
Because many jobs may re-
quire driving machinery,
she said some employers
won’t hire anyone with
a criminal record in the
last seven to 10 years.
David Gaston of KU
Career Services said get-
ting an OUI can even
affect job prospects after
college graduation.
He said most compa-
nies may still hire offend-
ers as long as they are
up front about the OUI
on the application. Many
employers hire out background
checks, he said, so if you don’t
declare a diverted OUI, you
should hire someone yourself
to do a background check and
make sure they don’t fnd it on
your record before not includ-
ing it on the application.
Sales jobs that involve driv-
ing are usually not an option be-
cause the company may not be
able to insure the person.
social impact
Switzer’s OUI has limited his
social life.
“I’m still feeling the burn ev-
ery day, through almost any ac-
tivity,” he said a year and three
months after his OUI.
Switzer’s new job at Mr.
Goodcents gives him less mon-
ey to spend on dating, which
doesn’t happen anyway unless
the girl is willing to provide
transportation.
He worked his 20 hours of
community service in his home-
town of Shawnee during the
summer.
“What I thought was going to
be a huge bummer was actually
cool,” he said about working
at a drop-off for old furniture,
clothing and other items to be
resold for proft benefting the
poor. He liked the people he
worked with, and it was a hum-
bling experience, he said.

Switzer avoids getting drunk
when he goes out because his
one-year unsupervised proba-
tion requires a spotless criminal
record. That means no fghts, no
drugs, no buying alcohol for mi-
nors, no drinking and driving,
no stealing, or any other minor
offense.
“Any time there could be po-
lice involved, I want to not be
involved,” he said, explaining
that he stays away from rowdy
house parties most of the time.
Both of Switzer’s roommates
have also had past OUIs, so they
help him out with rides. Five
or six months
before he lost
his license, his
roommate Scott
got his back.
Switzer drove
him around, so
now Scott is
reciprocating.
He said fam-
ily and friends
who in the
beginning of-
fered him rides
are becoming
“annoyed” six
months later.
His parents
were glad he
wasn’t hurt, dis-
couraged him
from continuing
to drink, and
have refused to
help him buy
another car
when his year-
long license sus-
pension ends.
S c h o n g a r
said that he still
goes out and
drinks, but nev-
er drives after-
ward. He works
as a bartender
at Fatso’s, 1016
Massachusetts
St., and lives
within blocks of
downtown.
“I walk wher-
ever I go and if I can’t, I stay
there,” he said.
Schongar said because he
paid for his OUI by himself,
he and his parents are on
good terms. They recognize it
as a mistake, and he proved
that he could handle it on his
own.
He said he offers himself as
an example of why his friends
shouldn’t drink and drive.
Psychology and treatment
Although 83 KU students
were busted for driving drunk
last year, many more did it with-
out ticket or injury, according
to Lawrence alcohol counselor
Scott Black.
“We know there are about
400 DUIs a month,” Black
said. “There should be 10,000.
They’ve all done it before. They
just got caught now.”
Those who get caught spend
time with counselors like Black.
A frst-time OUI offender with
no criminal record usually at-
tends an eight-hour alcohol
education class after an alcohol
evaluation. Those with alcohol
abuse problems face extensive
outpatient counseling.
“The alcohol is more impor-
tant than something else in their
life,” he said about such binge
drinkers, who are more likely to
be males than females partially
because of peer pressure.
Black said women get drunk
faster because they don’t have
as strong a stomach lining, so
alcohol goes more quickly to
their bloodstream and brain.
For men, it takes longer, which
can ultimately be worse because
they can drink much more.
By the time Switzer took the
breathalizer, his blood alcohol
was at .196, way over the .08
legal limit. His
alcohol coun-
selor told him
later he should
not have been
able to even
walk out the
door and get
in his car to
drive home
that night,
much less be
making good
d e c i s i o n s
a b o u t
driving.
“ I
wa s n’ t
c o n -
c e r ne d
a b o u t
my abil-
ity to
d r i v e
home, ”
he said,
because
h e ’ d
done it
so many
t i m e s
bef ore.
He said
he tried
hard to concen-
trate and be at-
tentive by turn-
ing off the radio
and gripping
the wheel at 10
o’clock and 2
o’clock.
Black said, “They usually
think they are fne. That’s 50
percent of the cases I run into.”
Switzer said he hasn’t given
up drinking. He tried to be
sober for a few weeks, and
proudly told his counselor
he’d made it, only to find out
true sobriety takes at least six
months.
Discouraged by staying home
much of the time by himself,
and by his friends’ lack of sup-
port, he said he decided to go
out again, and that he can’t go
out without drinking.
“It’s just not me,” he said.
People who binge drink black
out, make bad decisions and of-
ten get into trouble.
That was what happened to
Schongar. He’d been at a Phi
Kappa Theta fraternity party
drinking beer and hard liquor
but lost track of how much. Af-
ter the party, he was supposed
to follow another car to his
friend’s place at Highpointe.
Somewhere along the way, he
got lost and ended up about a
mile away, where he had driv-
en up on the curb, and then
passed out.
“This is all speculation,” he
said. “I don’t remember too
much of that night.”
He said he remembered bits
and pieces of failing his feld
sobriety test when the cop got
there, and then sobered up in
jail waiting to take the breatha-
lizer.
Danger and prevention
Switzer survived his wreck
with few scratches and Schon-
gar got lucky and avoided hit-
ting anything, but others were
not so fortunate. According
to the Kansas Department of
Transportation, 116 died in al-
cohol-related automobile acci-
dents in 2004.
When that happens, an OUI
offender can end up in prison
for years if someone dies be-
cause the driver was drunk.
Jerry Little, city prosecutor,
said if a drunken driver has an
accident that kills someone, he
would be charged with either
voluntary or involuntary man-
slaughter.
Brian Hunt, one of Lawrence
Memorial Hospital’s emer-
gency room doctors, has seen
and treated many injuries from
drunken driving.
The worst was when he was
coroner for Linn County. A
young woman drove home from
a bar drunk, didn’t make a curve
in the road, and her car went
airborne over a barbed-wire
fence and into a feld. In midair,
she was thrown from the vehicle
and it landed on top of her, kill-
ing her instantly.
Hunt said when he stood
above her looking down, her
face looked almost normal, but
when he bent over and looked
at her from the side, he saw her
head had been squashed to two
inches thick and her brain was
lying next to her in the grass.
Her death might have been
prevented had she been sober
or wearing a seat belt.
“Rarely do people who are
drinking put on their seat belt,”
Hunt said.
Because intoxicated people
can’t think clearly when decid-
ing whether to drink and drive,
Scott Black, the alcohol coun-
selor, suggests fnding a signal
that can trigger your memory
about the hazards of an OUI.
One of his patients put an or-
ange fashing light on her steer-
ing wheel that said “DUI” so
that when she got in the car, she
would see it and remember not
to drive.
Adding it all up
Neither Switzer nor Schongar
have stopped drinking, but both
say they have found a middle
ground: drink, but don’t drive.
In the end, drunken driving of-
fenders suffer losses far beyond
the expected ticket and court
costs.
Switzer and Schongar
learned the lesson that all of it
— the wrecked cars, the $2,000
to $4,000 in fnes, lawyer costs,
diversion fees and towing, the
limited social life, the higher in-
surance premiums, the night in
jail — could have been avoided
by fnding a sober ride home.

Burton also worries about homeless having
drugs and alcohol near children in the area.
The current location is not big enough to hold
all the activities the Salvation Army wants to offer,
Wesley Dalberg, pastor and administrator of the
Salvation Army, said. The current Salvation Army
location, 946 New Hampshire, is 50 years old.
Dalberg said the facility was inadequate, such as
not having handicapped parking spaces available.
The current building will not be retained at all by
the Salvation Army and will be sold.
The site plan for the new location was approved
in May 2004 and an extension was made in May
2005. The Salvation Army has been continuing its
efforts to fundraise.
“We can’t start digging a hole in the ground un-
til we have all the money,” Richard Zinn, member
of the Salvation Army advisory board, said at the
meeting.
The new location is also easily accessible by
public transportation. He noted that they prefer
to build in a residential neighborhood because
they are trying to reach other people, not just the
homeless.
Approving the new site plan with the new
points will appear on the city commission agenda
at any time now. However, city commission meet-
ings will not be held May 23 or May 30.

TOPEKA - A compromise version of a po-
litically popular measure to strengthen penal-
ties for child molesters and other sex offenders
was shot down Wednesday by House members
who disapproved of it being tied to a proposal
to allow private prisons in Kansas.
The 74-49 vote sent the measure back to
House-Senate negotiators with an eye toward
dividing the two issues so they can be voted on
separately. The Senate approved the bundled
bill Tuesday by a 33-7 margin.
As a compromise bill, each chamber had to
accept or reject it without making changes.
Senators previously approved a private pris-
on bill but later insisted it be bundled with the
tougher penalties for child molesters, known
as “Jessica’s Law.”
The House last year refused to debate the
issue of private prisons and did not take it
up this year.
“We’ll go back to conference and ask them
to strip private prisons out,” said Rep. Mike
O’Neal, his chamber’s lead negotiator.
Senate Majority Leader Derek Schmidt said
his chamber stands frm.
“The Senate position is they need to be a
packaged deal,” said Schmidt, R-Indepen-
dence.
As for private prisons dooming Jessica’s
Law, Schmidt said, “That would be a terrible
outcome. That’s why we need to reach agree-
ment on enacting both pieces.”
Senators argue the two should be tied be-
cause Jessica’s Law will result in more people
imprisoned and private prisons will be an op-
tion the state could consider rather than build-
ing its own facilities.
“You can pass the policy but not build the
beds which would be irresponsible,” said
O’Neal, R-Hutchinson.
Leading the opposition was Rep. Kenny
Wilk, R-Lansing, who said, “They’re trying to
force-feed us. The House wants a clean vote on
Jessica’s Law.”

With good reason, our society
should celebrate people of various
ethnicities, races and cultures
receiving higher education in
increasing numbers. Nonetheless,
we cannot neglect another mar-
ginalized demographic that hasn’t
made gains in this area — those
from low-income backgrounds.
Historically, this population has
not attended college as much as
their middle-or upper-class coun-
terparts, but has been able to secure
low-skill, well-paying jobs. Now,
the labor force has changed and
having a college degree is practi-
cally required to secure any sort of
high-paying employment. Unfortu-
nately, not having a degree remains
the norm for people from low-in-
come backgrounds with one of the
biggest deterrents being — what
else — not enough money.
Fortunately for low-income
families in Kansas, the state
legislature is considering House
Bill 2722, a measure that would
establish a three-year pilot pro-
gram that would give an incentive
for lower-class families to establish
higher education savings accounts.
Those who qualify, meaning
Kansas residents that do not have
a household income that exceeds
200 percent of the federal poverty
level, could start to apply for the
program beginning fiscal year
2007. The families can invest as
much as they want, but each year
the government will only match
a maximum of $600 a year with
$100 as the minimum. In the first
year the program would allow no
more than 400 applications. As of
the end of March, the bill was in
the Ways and Means committee of
the state legislature.
Already, 35 states have enacted
some similar form of legislation,
according to the Center for Social
Development. This is a proven, vi-
able solution for low-income fami-
lies because it helps reinforce the
importance of higher education
for these families, which might
not have been the case otherwise,
especially when their children
might be the first in the family to
attend college. This program also
promotes financial responsibility
and gives low-income families
aid where it is most desperately
needed. If these people are will-
ing enough to dedicate portions
of their income to helping their
children have a promising future,
then they should be supported in
that endeavor.
In the end, everyone benefits
from this because after the kids
graduate from college, they can
contribute to a potential rise in
new jobs, increased earnings, new
or improved homes and reduced
reliance on welfare.
The Kansas legislature should
be commended for considering this
bill and encouraged to pass it into
law as soon as possible. Support
it for the improvements it could
make for the local economy, if not
for the benefit to others, as well.

Issue: A House bill
designed to help low-
income families save
money for education
Stance: We commend
the legislature for aiding
this demographic
The problem of illegal immigra-
tion is once again in the news.
Demonstrations on Monday
showed that this isn’t a problem
that will go away anytime soon.
But there seems to be no clear-
cut way to solve it. One side of
the debate advocates such severe
measures as building a wall across
the U.S.-Mexico border and mak-
ing it a felony to illegally enter
this country. The other side seems
to advocate total amnesty and a
complete disregard for our laws.
For most people, neither of these
two extremes seems attractive.
However, there’s no reason why
these two views can’t be com-
bined to create a fair and compre-
hensive immigration plan that is
amenable to both sides.
First, we must recognize that
immigrants who are here already
are important to our economy. We
can’t just go on a crusade to round
up all illegal immigrants and bus
them back home. Instead, we
need to give illegal immigrants the
chance to become documented
as guest workers and to get on
the path to citizenship. Because
they’ve already broken the law,
they should be put at the back
of the line for citizenship so that
people who have already applied
to immigrate legally aren’t penal-
ized for following the rules.
Second, we must make it easier
for people to immigrate legally to
our country. Right now, quotas
for legal immigrants are very low,
and this is in part because the
huge numbers of illegal immi-
grants who come to this country
everyday. Once we get tough on
the border, it will be easier, and
probably necessary, to increase the
number of guest workers.
After a period of time, though,
say a year, we should start really
cracking down on illegal immigra-
tion. By then, we will have acted
in good faith with illegal immi-
grants and given them a chance,
after they’ve already broken
the law, to make things right by
becoming documented. If they
decide to continue to disregard
the law after that, then it will be
very difficult to have sympathy
for them because there’s only so
much that can be done to help
them if they refuse to play by the
rules and obey the laws of our
country.
One of the first things that we
should do to crack down illegal
immigration is to make it more
difficult to cross into America.
This doesn’t have to include a
giant barrier stretching from coast
to coast, but it should involve a
“virtual wall” that uses technology
and increased law enforcement.
We should also begin to deport
illegal immigrants. This doesn’t
mean that police should go out
looking for them, but we should
start to deport those illegal im-
migrants whom we find because
they were pulled over for speed-
ing, turned in by their neighbors,
or otherwise come to the attention
of law enforcement.
The other thing that we will
need to do to curtail illegal immi-
gration is to make it unattractive
to come to this country illegally.
This will have to involve getting
tough on employers who break
the law by hiring illegal immi-
grants. After years of lax enforce-
ment, the Bush administration
seems to have gotten the message
across that employers are as much
at fault as illegal immigrants.
The administration recently
announced a tougher stance on
rogue employers.
We should also begin to tax re-
mittances sent to foreign countries
by people who can’t prove their
citizenship. This will make it less
attractive for illegal immigrants to
earn a living in the United States
and will also help to pay for the
huge burden that they put on
social services in this country.
In sum, we should give illegal
immigrants another chance to do
the right thing and to become doc-
umented. We should also make
it more attractive for immigrants
to take the legal route to coming
here. But we can’t go on forever
without enforcing our laws. Once
we’ve given illegal immigrants the
opportunity to make things right,
we should start to make illegal
immigration unattractive to those
who wish to come here and also
to those in this country that want
to see illegal immigrants come
here. In this way, we may not
solve the problem entirely, but it
will definitely be a good start.

On the surface, it would appear
the Constitution is still serving us
well. Absent a few episodes, the
Constitution still seems the product
of minds far ahead of their time. We
figure the Founding Fathers got it
right the first time, and that there is
no better system of governance and
we shouldn’t think there might be.
This is not what the Founding
Fathers wanted. Thomas Jefferson
called for a “permanent revolu-
tion,” that each generation recon-
nect with the Constitution and
breathe new life into it as deemed
necessary by modern life. Case in
point: proportional representation.
If you recall, our Congressmen
and women are elected from single
member districts based simply on
getting a plurality of votes. This
system works great for representing
your city or region, but that’s it. If
49 percent of the electorate votes
for the other guy, they might as well
have not even voted at all.
To put it in real numbers,
Republican representatives in
2004 got a 55 million to 52 million
margin over Democrats, yet carried
a 230-200 majority to completely
shut out the minority party and
their respective voters. In the
Senate, Democrats actually got 44
million votes to the GOP’s 39 mil-
lion, yet not only did they not win
the Senate, they lost seats. Consider
that 98 percent of congressional
incumbents are re-elected, despite
stagnant approval ratings, and we
see an electoral system that is woe-
fully out of touch with its citizens.
Which is where proportional
representation comes in. It’s
focused on apportioning legisla-
tive seats based on how many
votes a party gets. If 60 percent of
people vote for the Democrats, they
should get 60 percent of the seats.
If 10 percent vote Libertarian, then
that tenth must be represented.
Proportional representation
opens up the political spectrum. It
forces accountability. It allows for
constituencies of ideas rather than
geographic space. It reduces nega-
tive campaigning as voters would
have multiple choices who could
win. As Hendrik Hertzberg of the
New Yorker wrote, “If Americans
hate politicians, maybe it’s because
our chaotic pile of political systems
offers so many perverse incentives
for politicians to behave badly.”
So why not use this enlightened
electoral process? I have no doubt
the Founding Fathers would have
included it in the Constitution
— had they known about it. It
wasn’t until the 19th century that
proportional representation was re-
fined for European nations. Several
U.S. cities have used PR, but the
politicians have such a stranglehold
on the elections that they refuse to
cede any power to minor parties or
even — gasp! — the voters.
The Constitution can and
should be changed to include
this much-needed improvement.
The benefits are incalculable. The
Founding Fathers would be proud,
because we would have taken this
great document — and government
— into our own hands.

Someone keeps calling the
Free-for-All complaining about

effing Mrs. E’s menu Web page,
please?”
I called in and left a response

How can I contact this

not maintaining the menus.
The Mrs. E’s menus are

20% discount for students

NEW YORK - Children will
soon have to wait until school’s
out to pop the top on sugary soft
drinks blamed for much of the
rise in childhood obesity.
Non-diet sodas will be yanked
from schools, and other drinks
will be downsized under a deal
announced Wednesday by for-
mer President Bill Clinton and
the nation’s largest beverage dis-
tributors.
“This is a truly bold step
forward in the struggle to help
35 million young people lead
healthier lives,” said Clinton,
whose foundation has targeted
obesity in children for the past
year. “This one policy can add
years and years and years to the
lives of a very large number of
young people.”
Most elementary schools are
already soda-free. But under the
new deal, beverage companies
agreed to sell only water, un-
sweetened juice and low-fat and
non-fat milk to elementary and
middle schools. Diet sodas and
sports drinks will remain in high
schools.
The agreement, to be phased
in over the next three years, was
brokered by the Alliance for a
Healthier Generation, a col-
laboration between the William
J. Clinton Presidential Founda-
tion and the American Heart
Association.
It involves industry lead-
ers Cadbury Schweppes PLC,
Coca-Cola Co. and PepsiCo Inc.
as well as the American Bever-
age Association, which together
control 87 percent of the public
and private school drink mar-
ket. Offcials said they hoped
the other 13 percent would fol-
low suit.
Ann Cooper, an advocate for
healthy school lunches who
directs the food program for
public schools in Berkeley, Ca-
lif., called the deal a good frst
step.
“Any agreement that limits
high-fructose corn syrup and
sugar and non-nutrient foods
that are served in schools is
good, but I don’t think it goes
far enough,” she said, citing the
calories in sports drinks and
some favored milks.
The move follows a mount-
ing wave of regulation by
school boards and legislators
alarmed by the health prob-
lems that can follow child-
hood obesity. Soda has been a
particular target because of its
high calories and popularity
among children.
Anne Bryant, executive di-
rector of the National School
Boards Association, said she
welcomed it. “We’re pleased
that the parties have decided
that there is no need for litiga-
tion, because litigation is a ter-
rible waste of time and money,”
she said.
John Sicher, editor and pub-
lisher of Beverage Digest, which
compiles extensive data on the
beverage industry, said the deal
would have no impact on the
$63 billion beverage industry’s
bottom line.
“The sale of sugar-carbonated
sodas in schools is a tiny, tiny
part of their overall volume,”
said Sicher. “Financially, on the
big companies, it will have virtu-
ally no impact.”
He applauded the move for
its impact “in terms of respon-
sibility and accountability to the
consumer.”
Under the agreement, high
schools will still be able sell
low-calorie drinks with fewer
than 10 calories a serving, as
well as up to 12-ounce servings
of juice, sports drinks and low-
fat and nonfat milk.
The serving sizes for juice and
milk will shrink to 10 ounces
for middle school students and
8 ounces for elementary school
students. Diet sodas and sports
drinks won’t be sold in middle
and elementary schools, and
full-sugar soda and whole milk
will no longer be offered to any
schools.
School sales of sports drinks,
diet sodas and bottled water
have been on the rise in recent
years, while sugary sodas bought
by students have been falling,
according to a recent ABA re-
port. But regular soda, averag-
ing 150 calories a can, is still the
most popular drink, accounting
for 45 percent of drinks sold in
schools in 2005, according to
the report.
The new rules will apply
to beverages sold on school
grounds during the regular
school day and at after-school
activities such as band and choir
practice.
Beverage industry offcials
who joined Clinton at a news
conference in his Manhattan of-
fce said the agreement was not
an admission that their products
are unhealthy.
“This is about where we sell
our products, not about the
products themselves,” said
Dawn Hudson, CEO of Pep-
siCo for North America. “We
believe that all our products
have a place in a well-bal-
anced diet and proper, active
lifestyle.”

TOPEKA - Legislators start-
ed negotiations Wednesday on
school fnance issues, after the
House rejected a three-year,
$532.7 million plan assembled a
day earlier.
Finding a compromise plan
that will satisfy a Kansas Su-
preme Court mandate to in-
crease spending on schools has
fallen to three senators and three
House members.
Negotiators reviewed the con-
tents of a plan the Senate passed
last week and one the House
passed in March. No action was
taken and more talks still were
possible Thursday morning.
“We have a Chevy and a Cadil-
lac. I’m not going to say which is
which,” said Rep. Kathe Decker,
(R-Clay Center), lead House ne-
gotiator.
The House plan, defeated 69-
55, had the backing of Speaker
Doug Mays, (R-Topeka), and
other GOP leaders. He said
there will be no more attempts
to draft a new House plan to
take into negotiations with sen-
ators.
“We will get something even-
tually,” Mays said.
The Senate approved a plan
last week to phase in a $541
million increase in spending on
public schools over three years.
In March, a coalition of Demo-
crats and moderate Republicans
forced a three-year, $633 million
plan through the House.
Mays and Senate Majority
Leader Derek Schmidt, (R-In-
dependence), said negotiations
could go quickly but were likely
to get hung up over policy provi-
sions sought by House members
to make schools more account-
able and to fulfll some mem-
bers’ desire to give local districts
greater authority to increase
property taxes.
Mays and other GOP leaders
could have initiated talks last
week with the Senate over the
fnal version of school fnance
legislation. But they wanted to
have another debate, hoping to
narrow the scope of the discus-
sions — and ultimately the size
of any fnal plan.
Both chambers would rely on
existing state revenues to fund
their proposals, though budget
projections show the third year
could cause the state to exhaust
all available revenues and be
faced with a defcit, something
prohibited by state law. Last
year, the Supreme Court ruled
that the state wasn’t spending
enough on its public schools or
distributing the dollars fairly.

It didn’t take long for new
Kansas State basketball coach
Bob Huggins to have an effect
in the Big 12 Conference.
Kansas State hired Hug-
gins offcially on March 23 and
landed two big-time recruits less
than a month later.
Huggins signed a fve-star re-
cruit in Jason Bennett, a 7-foot-
2 center from Florida. Accord-
ing to rivals.com, Bennett is the
30th ranked player in the 2006
recruiting class. Huggins also
landed a four-star guard from
Florida, Blake Young. Young
was one of the top junior col-
lege recruits in the country and
is expected to have an immedi-
ate effect in Manhattan.
With the hiring of Huggins,
some things will change for
Kansas coach Bill Self, but not
the way he talks about the Kan-
sas program.
“I’m sure there will be a time
when we go head-to-head on a
recruit,” Self said. “That hasn’t
happened since I have been
here. But, we’re not going to
change the way we recruit just
because Kansas State hired a
new head coach.”
Before coming to K-State,
Huggins coached at the Universi-
ty of Cincinnati for 16 years. The
university let Huggins go last fall
for issues he was having off the
court. However, on the court, he
was one of the most successful
coaches in the past decade. Hug-
gins has a current streak of 14
consecutive NCAA tournaments
and said he hoped to continue
that tradition at K-State.
Some of Huggins’ off-the-court
problems included being pulled
over for speeding and being issued
a DUI and having low graduation
rates for his players at Cincinnati.
Huggins said he wasn’t worried
about people being concerned
with his reputation.
“I would venture to say that
the people who are my critics
have never met me, they have
never met my players, and they
haven’t spent 10 seconds on the
campus with our guys,” Huggins
said at the press conference the
day he was hired.
Huggins won’t be the only
coach in the conference trying
to make a good frst impression.
There will be new head coaches
at Oklahoma, Iowa State and
Missouri as well.
Self said coaching against the
new coaches won’t be that dif-
ferent than when he frst came
to Kansas in 2003.
“Some teams will play a dif-
ferent style, but for the most part
it will be similar to what we have
seen in the past,” Self said. “It
won’t affect Kansas that much.
We want our league to get better,
and it’s happening.”
Mike Anderson will take
over the coaching duties at Mis-
souri. Anderson comes from
the University of Alabama-
Birmingham. He coached just
four seasons in Birmingham
and compiled an 89-41 record.
Anderson’s team qualifed for
the NCAA tournament for the
last three consecutive seasons
and in his frst season as head
coach. Included in his three
consecutive tournament ap-
pearances was a loss to Kan-
sas in the 2004 Tournament. In
Self’s frst year as coach, Kansas
prevailed in the Sweet 16 and
defeated Anderson’s Alabama-
Birmingham team.
Missouri hasn’t reached the
NCAA tournament since 2002
and Anderson said that was clear-
ly the frst goal for the program.
Anderson will bring a new
style of basketball to Missouri. At
Alabama-Birmingham, Ander-
son became famous for coach-
ing teams that often ran the fast
break and played in transition.
Anderson’s style of basketball
became known as the “fastest 40
minutes in basketball.”
“Some folks call it Run-and-
Gun, but it’s actually Run-and-
Execute,” Anderson said. “Our
style is attack basketball with an
emphasis on the defensive end
of the foor.”
Joining Anderson as new head
coaches in the conference will
be Jeff Capel at Oklahoma and
Greg McDermott at Iowa State.
Capel is a graduate of Duke
University and has coached
the last few seasons at Virginia
Commonwealth University. Ca-
pel will be the youngest head
coach in the conference at just
31 years old.
Self said he thought it would be
hard on Capel at frst, but that he
brought a good resume and should
ft in well in the conference.

Coming out of high school,
the only Kansas roster John All-
man appeared
destined for was
the Kansas foot-
ball team’s.
If he were to
pursue a career
in baseball, the
junior college
route seemed
most likely. But
through chance,
faith and hard work, Allman is
now the starting left felder for
the Kansas baseball team.
Chance came into play while
Allman was on a recruiting visit
with the football team. The base-
ball team was playing a week-
end series against Nebraska at
Hoglund Ballpark at the time,
so Allman decided to take in a
game. He fell in love with Kan-
sas baseball on the spot. How-
ever, only by faith did Allman
actually get his foot in the door.
The faith came from Allman’s
high school baseball coach, Kyle
Reid, believing that he could play
at the collegiate level. Kansas
coach Ritch Price believed Allman
could produce at the collegiate lev-
el. Allman has had faith in himself,
too, knowing that if he put forth
the effort, he would succeed.
“He was a late bloomer in
high school and his high school
coach called me and asked me
if I would give him a chance
to walk on and go through the
tryout periods and, if he wasn’t
ready, send him back to junior
college to play,” Price said.
No Guarantees
Price put Allman on the ros-
ter, but didn’t give him any guar-
antees. He told Allman he would
have to work hard to prove he
deserved a spot on the team.
That was all he needed to hear.
“I just had that football men-
tality, where I just come in and
work my butt off every day,” All-
man said.
Early on, Price couldn’t help
but notice this attitude in Allman,
who was named frst team all-con-
ference twice in football and base-
ball while at Rockwood-Summit
High School in Fenton, Mo.
Price said Allman was raw
when he came to Kansas, but he
kept him on the team because
he could see Allman was on the
brink of transforming from an
athlete to a baseball player.

Before a two-hour rain delay,
the Kansas softball team was be-

for a third straight loss.
Then, Serena Settlemier
struck again.
Settlemier smashed the sec-
ond pitch over the left-feld fence
for a two-run home run after the
game was restarted in the bottom
sixth inning. The home run gave
Kansas the 2-1 victory against
Wichita State Wednesday after-
noon at Arrocha Ballpark.
“The amazing Serena comes
through again,” Kansas coach
Tracy Bunge said. “She was look-
ing for a pitch and I think she got
that pitch. There was no doubt.”
The game was delayed be-
cause of lightning near the ball-
park while Settlemier stood at
the plate and freshman center
felder Stevie Crisosto was on
frst base with two outs in the
sixth inning. Kansas trailed 1-0
before the delay.
Settlemier said she felt more
mental pressure as she waited
at Anschutz Pavilion during the
rain delay knowing she would
be at the plate when the game
resumed.

▼ THE COLUMN
Mavericks coach’s diligence pays off
Dallas Mavericks coach Av-
ery Johnson has to feel proud
of himself as much as he
should feel proud of his team.
But that’s never been his style.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be the
subject of any column. That’s
because that would indicate
complacency, something that
makes the former player turned
coach cringe.
Around these parts, Johnson’s
exploits aren’t that well docu-
mented, and that’s too bad. But
his story serves as an example of
how one person can persevere,
even when everyone says you’re
not good enough.
To start, Avery Johnson
wasn’t given a fair chance to be-
gin with. Standing at 5-foot-11,
Johnson went undrafted out of
tiny Southern University. Faced
with the prospects of never play-
ing professional basketball, he
played in the old United States
Basketball League for a couple
of years before signing a free
agent contract with the Seattle
Supersonics and later with the
San Antonio Spurs in 1990.
Today, he is heralded as a
hero in San Antonio. You could
imagine how hard it is to believe
that he went from San Antonio,
Denver, Houston and back to
San Antonio. Every time he was
cut, he was told it was because
he wasn’t good enough to play
in the NBA. In 1994, he signed
with Golden State and from
there, his career began a meta-
morphosis; he became a student
of the game.
He learned from experienced
players and hall of fame coach-
es.
Johnson soon became a fan
favorite, because of his tenacity
and never give up attitude. He
became the vocal, spiritual, and
floor leader on a team that pe-
rennially won between 55 and
60 games.
NBA guard Damon Stou-
damire, then with the Portland
Trail Blazers, said in 1999 that
no team with Avery Johnson
would ever win an NBA Cham-
pionship. In that year’s Western
Conference Finals, Johnson led
the Spurs to a dominating four-
game sweep of Stoudamire’s
Blazers. But his greatest vindi-
cation came late in June of that
year, when of all people, he hit
the winning shot that propelled
San Antonio to its first champi-
onship.
He played a few more years,
eventually being replaced by
Tony Parker before retiring with
Dallas in 2004 to become an as-
sistant with the Mavericks. Last
year, Johnson, who had been
expected to one day become an
NBA coach, saw that day come
earlier than expected, when for-
mer Mavs coach Don Nelson
stepped down and handed the
reigns to Johnson.
This year, “The Little Gen-
eral” has come full circle. When
Hurricane Katrina left Johnson’s
native New Orleans marred
amidst billions of dollars of
damage, he extended a hand to
his high school coach to join the
Mavericks as one of his assistant
coaches.
Former teammates and
coaches would say it is simply
just Avery being Avery. Always a
leader off the court as much as
he’s ever been on the court, he is
greatly admired in San Antonio.
This year, he was awarded the
NBA’s Coach Of The Year honor.
Leading the Mavericks, Johnson
has displayed the knowledge
he’s acquired from playing for
Hall of Fame coaches such as
Larry Brown, Don Nelson, and
Gregg Popovich.
His story is unique in that it
is a tale of perseverance, of defy-
ing the odds. Now, as his team
awaits its second round oppo-
nent in this year’s NBA playoffs,
Johnson likely works as if Game
7 of the NBA Finals were to-
morrow night. Because after all,
any differently and it would be
guaranteed that no would know
who Avery Johnson was.

Kansas State to play
Xavier in Cincinnati
MANHATTAN - New Kansas
State basketball coach Bob
Huggins has at least two more
games to coach in Cincin-
nati — but not against the
Bearcats.
On Tuesday Kansas State an-
nounced a three-year contract
with Xavier, Cincinnati’s cross-
town rival. The two teams will
play at U.S. Arena in Cincinnati
the next two seasons, then at
Bramlage Coliseum in Manhat-
tan the following year.
“Cincinnati has been great
to me,” said Huggins, who
coached Cincinnati for 16 years
before agreeing to leave in Au-
gust 2005 following a drunken
driving conviction and a clash
with the school’s president.
“We are very excited to play a
top-notch program as Xavier. I
would like to thank Xavier and
U.S. Bank Arena for giving me
the opportunity to return to
Cincinnati. The fans there have
always supported me, and it
will be my honor to coach in
front of them once again.”

KENTUCKY DERBY
Men given opportunity
to win after tragedy
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Two
accidents 16 days apart on
their favorite types of horses
forever altered the lives of
jockey Alex Solis and trainer
Dan Hendricks.
A horse named Brother
Derek has changed things, too,
giving both men a opportunity
late in their careers to win
their first Kentucky Derby. The
colt carries a four-race winning
streak and two families’ hopes
into America’s greatest race
Saturday.
Solis got tossed from the
saddle when his horse clipped
heels and fell in a race at Del
Mar on July 7, 2004. Barely
two weeks later, Hendricks
came flying off a jump at his
favorite California motocross
course and crashed. The self-
described “small” jump was
one he had successfully made
hundreds of times before.

“It was like watching a profes-
sional football player go through
those agility drills,” Price said. “I
thought if we could transfer some
of that athleticism to baseball skills,
he had a chance to help us.”
Athleticism aside, Allman,
now a sophomore, was redshirt-
ed his freshman year so Price
could refne his skills and fnd a
position for him on the feld.
Reid said he played Allman at
second base and catcher in high
school.
As a senior, he was runner-up
for the Missouri High School
Baseball Player of the Year, but
he didn’t fare well as a catcher at
the Division I level. As a result,
Allman shuffed through several
positions at Kansas.
“I came here as a catcher,
then they moved me to frst base
and then they moved me to the
outfeld, so that’s where I’m at
now.” Allman said.
In addition to the struggles of
learning new positions, Allman
also had to deal with not playing
his freshman year because of the
redshirt — something he wasn’t
used to doing after playing foot-
ball, basketball and baseball all
four years in high school.
“It was tough not being able
to play, especially that frst year,
knowing I’m going to be on the
bench,” Allman said. “It eats
you up a little bit.”
Getting His Chance
Price said he didn’t expect
Allman to contribute until his
third year in the program, but
Allman’s dedication during his
redshirt year to becoming a
complete player at a new posi-
tion paid off. In 2005, his sec-
ond year at Kansas and frst on
the active roster, Allman played
in 46 of Kansas’ 64 games and
batted .350, which was the sec-
ond-best batting average on the
team.
This season, Allman has start-
ed 48 of Kansas’ 51 games and
has appeared in all but one. His
average is nearly identical to last
season’s at .349, but his power
numbers are hardly comparable.
Allman has more than doubled
his RBI total from 15 to 37. His
total bases are up from 45 to 92.
“I am so proud of him,” Reid
said. “He has earned exactly
what he’s gotten because he’s a
hard, hard worker.”
Hard Work Pays Off
So what brought Allman up
to the level he’s at today? Reid
hasn’t coached Allman in three
years, but there was no doubt in
his mind what has served All-
man best at Kansas.
“Work ethic,” Reid said. “He
just has a relentless work ethic,
will not be denied, will fght you
tooth and nail, is not just a seri-
ous competitor, but a composed
competitor.”
Price confrmed what Reid
suspected.
“He gives you everything he’s
got every day he walks on the
feld and he does the same thing
in the weight room, he does the
same thing in his conditioning
program, he does the same thing
in practice every day and I think
that’s the reason why he’s ad-
vanced so quickly,” Price said.
Looking ahead to 2007, Kan-
sas will be without current se-
nior outfelders Matt Baty and
Gus Milner, all but assuring All-
man a starting spot again next
year.
Then again, if anything were
guaranteed, Allman probably
wouldn’t be starting for Kansas.
Allman said the last thing on his
mind would be to abandon his
hard-working mentality.
“That’s how I got here and
I’m not going to change the way
that I’ve been working,” Allman
said. “I’m never satisfed with
where I’m at.”

“I talked to a few of my team-
mates, Nettie and Heather,” the
senior pitcher said, referring to
senior left felder Nettie Fierros
and senior right felder Heather
Stanley. “They told me just to
wait on that inside pitch.”
Before continuing her at-bat,
Settlemier had Stanley throw
her nearly 50 inside pitches in
the bullpen so she would be
ready when the game resumed.
Sure enough, the pitch was
inside. Settlemier was ready and
took advantage of the opportunity.
She recorded Kansas’ only hit of
the game and her 21st home run
of the season, a school record.
“This is defnitely the most
dramatic moment of my career,”
Settlemier said.
Wichita State held Kansas
hitless before the rain delay. The
Jayhawks managed just four
base runners, all on walks, in
fve innings. Kansas stranded its
best opportunity to manufacture
runs in the fourth inning, leav-
ing two runners on base.
Bunge said she was afraid
with the rain stopping play, a
runner on base and her best
hitter at the plate, that the Jay-
hawks wouldn’t get an opportu-
nity to decide the game on the
feld.
“Right after the rain delay, I
thought, ‘Here’s our best shot,’”
Bunge said. “I’m thinking we
should do whatever we can to at
least fnish this game and give us
a chance to get on the feld and
earn it.”
Junior pitcher Kassie Hum-
phreys, 13-16, had another
strong outing after struggling
last weekend against Oklahoma.
On Wednesday, Humphreys al-
lowed one run, four hits, struck
out seven and walked one in the
complete game effort.
Despite the heavy rain during
the delay, the infeld was playable
after the grounds crew worked
on it. The infeld dirt does not
absorb water. Instead the water
beads off, keeping the dirt solid.
“It’s still not, obviously, ideal,”
Bunge said of the feld condi-
tions. “But the amount of water
that came down, on any other
feld, we weren’t playing.”
A doubleheader was sched-
uled on Wednesday, but Bunge
and Wichita State coach Mike
Perniciaro decided to not play
the second game.
Kansas will play host to Iowa
State in the fnal home series of
the season beginning Saturday

Rockies end
losing streak
The AssociATed Press
DENVER - Jeff Francis allowed
four hits over seven innings for his
frst win in six starts this season
and the Colorado Rockies ended
a two-game losing streak with a
3-0 victory against the Cincinnati
Reds on Wednesday night.
Francis (1-2) struck out fve
and walked one in winning for
the frst time since Sept. 28 at At-
lanta, his last start last season.
Jose Mesa pitched a scoreless
eighth inning and Brian Fuentes
worked the ninth to complete
the Rockies’ frst shutout of the
season and earn his sixth save.
Matt Holliday was 3-for-4 with a
two-run double and Danny Ardoin
had an RBI single for Colorado.
Francis worked out of trouble
in the frst and second innings.
He got Edwin Encarnacion to
pop out with two outs and two
on in the frst, and he left Bran-
don Phillips stranded at third in
the second. Rich Aurilia doubled
with two outs in the third and
Francis retired the next 11 hitters
before giving up a one-out single
to Austin Kearns in the seventh.
Cincinnati had its two-game
winning streak snapped. The Reds
entered the game with the best re-
cord in the majors (19-8) and were
off to their best start since 1990,
when they began 21-7.
Brandon Claussen (2-3) al-
lowed three runs and seven hits
in 6 2-3 innings. He struck out
fve and walked two.
The Rockies scored all their
runs in the ffth. Ardoin drove
in the frst run with a single and
Holliday made it 3-0 with the
two-out double over the head of
center felder Ryan Freel.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — If the
NASCAR community had one
universal wish for Kyle Busch
on his 21st birthday, it probably
would be for him to start behav-
ing like an adult.
Busch, one of the youngest
drivers in the Nextel Cup series,
has been under constant criti-
cism this season for reckless or
immature behavior. He’s twice
tangled with series champion
Tony Stewart, wrecked race
leader Michel Jourdain Jr. in
Mexico City, took the brunt of
the blame for aggressive driving
in Daytona and was ticketed for
reckless driving in Richmond,
Va.
Most recently, he gave Casey
Mears a retaliatory bump un-
der the red flag at Phoenix that
earned him a five-lap penalty
and a severe tongue-lashing
from NASCAR president Mike
Helton.
“The guy is really fast and
he’s got a lot of talent, but he re-
ally does a lot of stupid stuff _
and that’s across the board, that
feeling throughout the garage,”
Mears said. “When he grows up,
he’s going to be a real good race
car driver.”
Busch’s rivals eagerly await
that day. He celebrated his 21st
birthday on Tuesday and is rap-
idly closing in on a time when
he won’t be able to shrug off his
errors as youthful mistakes.
For now, much of what he’s
done can be attributed to im-
maturity.
“You’ve got to remember how
old he is,” said four-time series
champion Jeff Gordon, Busch’s
teammate at Hendrick Motors-
ports. “He’s got pressure on him.
He’s got a tremendous amount
of talent. He has a great team.
“I think a lot of times when
you’re young you’re so under
the microscope, everybody is
coming down on you and the
whole world is watching and it’s
hard for you to take all that in at
times. It only makes it tougher
for yourself.”
It doesn’t help that he’s the
kid brother of Kurt Busch, who
had more than his share of mis-
steps in his first four Nextel Cup
seasons. During that time, Kurt
Busch became one of the most
disliked drivers in NASCAR
_ both in the garage and the
grandstands.
It’s possible that Kyle is pay-
ing the price for brother’s sins.
He wondered if he’d maybe have
a smoother ride if he wasn’t one
of the “Busch Brothers.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The
Kansas City Royals lost yet
again Tuesday, a 4-1 setback in
Detroit. With the worst record
in the majors, who could fault a
fan for taking a nose dive from
the bandwagon — much less
selling his allegiance?
Chad Carroll auctioned off 25
years of loyalty to the Royals on
eBay on Tuesday, along with jer-
seys, hats, baseballs and other
memorabilia.
And in a spate of irony, faith-
fulness to a club with one of the
smallest payrolls in Major League
Baseball sold for a paltry $278.47.
“It really does feel like a big
weight has been lifted,” Carroll,
34, who lives in Maryland but
grew up listening to Kansas City
games from his home in Iowa,
told The Kansas City Star. “I re-
ally can’t tell you how good it
feels. I really can’t.”
A group of nine friends bid
for Carroll’s freedom, splitting
the cost and earning the right to
select his new favorite team.
They outbid the T-Bones, a
minor league team, and saved
Carroll from being held hos-
tage by yet another Kansas City
franchise. They also outbid Ya-
hoo Sports baseball columnist
Jeff Passan, who planned to ask
readers to choose the new focus
of Carroll’s admiration.
“We didn’t think it would be
right if somebody else got to
name his new team,” said Dan
Young, Carroll’s best friend. “We
don’t know who it’s going to be.
We just know it’s not going to be
the Royals anymore.”
His friends say they saw it
coming.
Year after year, Carroll would
adhere to the baseball cliche of
“wait ‘til next year.” He prom-
ised his buddies the Royals
would finish third in the divi-
sion, at the very least.
“Year after year he’d say, ‘Next
year’s going to be our year,’”
Young said. “After a while, you
could see it. He wouldn’t talk
about the new guys, and he’d
talk more and more about the
George Brett era.”
After this season’s 2-13 start
and an 11-game slide, Carroll
cut Burgos and his ties to the
entire organization. Relics from
the Royals’ 1985 World Series
championship came down, balls
signed by Bob Hamelin and An-
gel Berroa went out the door, and
a breath of fresh air wafted in.
Caroll’s last game will be May
12, when Kansas City plays Bal-
timore.
“It started off as a joke,”
said Carroll, who has taken a
shine to the Cleveland Indi-
ans. “But now I’m completely
serious. Now I can concentrate
on other teams in other sports
that have caused me pain and
misery.”

DENVER — Not that long
ago, it looked like Steve Ko-
nowalchuk’s season was over.
Then the Colorado Avalanche
extended their season by sneak-
ing into the playoffs and upset-
ting Dallas in the first round.
Now Konowalchuk is back,
too.
The 33-year-old forward —
sidelined since November with
a broken right wrist — returned
to practice Wednesday.
He was also cleared to play in
the Western Conference semifi-
nals.
“It feels like my first game _
probably times 10 because we’re
in the second round of the play-
offs,” Konowalchuk said. “The
wrist felt great. I’m ready to go.”
The team’s medical staff gave
Konowalchuk the OK to return
to the ice Tuesday, when his
teammates got back from their
48-hour break after their quick
elimination of the second-seed-
ed Stars.
“Originally I was told the
whole season,” he said. “At
best we would had to make it
to the Stanley Cup Finals to get
a chance. But with the training
staff and the doctors and seeing
the progress I made, I think they
lightened up a little bit on their
original plan. And here I am.”
Konowalchuk’s quicker-than-
anticipated recovery and unex-
pected return provided an im-
mense psychological boost for
the Avs, who lost leading scorer
Marek Svatos to a broken right
shoulder last month.
Captain Joe Sakic compared
it to picking up a top free agent
out of the blue.
“He’s so valuable not only
on the ice but in the dressing
room,” Sakic said. “The way
he plays, he plays hard, he’s in
front of the net creating havoc.
It’s huge for us to get him back
at this time.”
The Avalanche missed Ko-
nowalchuk’s hard-nosed style
for the final 61 games of the reg-
ular season and the first round
of the playoffs.
“He brings a ton of grit. He
plays a simple game, a hard
game, one that is hard to play
against. And that’s what we
need,” Rob Blake, a defense-
man, said.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHHH
Though you could be overwhelmed by what
drops on your plate, you have the ingenuity
to clear it out. Someone might be helpful
if you just ask. You don’t need to carry the
world on your shoulders.
Tonight: Go with an offbeat idea.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH
You might want to rethink a situation before
accepting it as it is. Someone might be
pushing you very hard to have you think like
he or she does. Be willing to head down
a different avenue. You’ll discover how
unpredictable someone else can be.
Tonight: Happy at home.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH
Your ability to communicate sharpens to a
new level of understanding. Ask for greater
feedback, thus enlisting others in a project.
Ultimately, you discover that cooperation
makes nearly every project or situation
easier.
Tonight: Hang out.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH
Take your time and check out a money risk.
What seems extraordinarily high or out of
whack is. Don’t question your judgment.
Your ability to do something differently or
come up with a solution makes a difference.
Tonight: Treat someone to dinner.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH
Extremes hit, though you are more than ca-
pable of handling them. On some level you
could feel pulled in two separate directions.
Establish better understanding, and you will
be much happier. Think positively and work
with others.
Tonight: As you wish.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH
Envision your life in a way that will please
you. You will fnd that you have many more
alternatives than you realize. Be open to
someone else’s suggestions. You might be
delighted by the end results of a change.
Tonight: Take your time.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH
Emphasize Lady Luck and opportunity, both
of whom are likely to knock on your door
presently. You will want to follow through on
what works for the majority, not necessarily
for you. Success will greet you as a result.
Tonight: Enjoy your friends.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH
Through accepting your responsibilities,
you will gain the kind of acknowledgment
you have always wanted. Listen well to
what a child or creative person in your life
asks. Think positively when dealing with a
creative risk.
Tonight: On top of your life.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH
You might want to follow through on an
important call. Someone at a distance could
be involved. You are coming from a securer
spot than you have been in a while. Your
mind could be working overtime.
Tonight: Try a new type of cuisine.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH
Deal with others directly. You might want
to get past an immediate hurdle or change.
Your friends and those around you might
push you to a new level. Think twice about
a key fnancial or emotional relationship.
Tonight: Togetherness works.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH
Others really want to assume more than
their share of responsibility and/or control.
Make sure that if you let go, someone else
understands his or her role. Your profes-
sional or community life demands your
attention.
Tonight: Say yes to an invitation.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH
You have so much energy touched by a high
level of mental activity, you will blaze a new
trail at work. You need to change gears and
go for what you want. Information heads
your way. Don’t be surprised if you are on
overload.
Tonight: Do whatever you need to do to
relax.

▼ OBITUARY
Tiger Woods’ father dies after battling cancer
BY DOUG FERGUSON
AP GOLF WRITER
Earl Woods, who was more de-
termined to raise a good son than a
great golfer and became the architect
and driving force behind Tiger Woods’
phenomenal career, died Wednesday
morning at his home in Cypress, Calif.
He was 74.
“My dad was my best friend and
greatest role model, and I will miss him
deeply,” Tiger Woods said on his Web
site. “I’m overwhelmed when I think of
all of the great things he accomplished
in his life. He was an amazing dad,
coach, mentor, soldier, husband and
friend. I wouldn’t be where I am today
without him, and I’m honored to con-
tinue his legacy of sharing and caring.”
A habitual smoker who had heart
bypass surgery in 1986, Woods was
diagnosed with prostate cancer in
1998 and was treated with radiation.
But the cancer returned in 2004 and
spread throughout his body.
Last month, he was too frail to trav-
el to the Masters for the first time.
The last tournament Woods attend-
ed was the Target World Challenge in
December 2004, when his son rallied
to win and then donated $1.25 million
to the Tiger Woods Foundation that
his father helped him establish. The
Tiger Woods Learning Center, another
vision inspired by his father, opened
in February.
Woods decided not to play in the
Wachovia Championship this week
in Charlotte, N.C. Two of his best
friends on tour, Mark O’Meara and
John Cook, withdrew from the tour-
nament and flew to California to be
with him.
Jack Nicklaus, who also was 30
when his father died, said he had
long “admired and related to the close
bond” shared by Tiger and Earl.
“My father was my best friend, my
mentor and perhaps my greatest sup-
port system. Earl was all of that to Ti-
ger,” he said.
“I knew Tiger was special the day
he was born,” Earl Woods said in a
May 2000 interview with The Associ-
ated Press.
Tiger Woods set records that might
never be broken by winning three
straight U.S. Junior titles, followed by
three straight U.S. Amateurs.
Earl Woods, fa-
ther of golf star
Tiger Woods,
holds one of
his son’s first
golf clubs while
standing in the
family garage in
Cypress, Calif.,
April, 11, 2001.
The net behind
him was use for
driving practice.
Earl Woods died
Wednesday,
May 3, 2006,
at his home in
Cypress. He was
74.

The April 23 hail storm
caused big problems at Robin-
son Gymnasium. Steam pipes
that serviced the main pool
melted, which forced the pool
to close until repairs could be
completed.
Bernie Kish, director of facili-
ties at Robinson, said the repairs
have been time consuming, but
he hoped the pool would be re-
opened by May 15, but could be
as late or later than May 19.
The power went out in the
gym during the hailstorm.
When power was restored,
valves that usually keep steam
from going back into the pipes
failed.
The steam re-entered the
pipes, causing them to melt,
which created a leak under-
neath the pool.
The system was installed
in 1965 and used the pipes to
control pool temperature.
The new valves for the steam
system will be installed after re-
pairs to the pipes are complet-
ed.
Kish was concerned about
the effect the closing would
have on swimming and div-
ing camp, which begins May
29.
Although the lap pool re-
mains open, the divers have
been practicing at Lawrence
Free State High School, be-
cause the lap pool is not deep
enough for a diving board.
Swimmers have been prac-
ticing in the lap pool.
But junior Lisa Tilson, swim-
mer and University Daily Kan-
san correspondent, said the
pool was too small for the 25-
plus people on the swim team.
Tilson said the team was
swimming the same amount of
yardage as they would with two
pools, but that the practices
were less effective.
“We have a lot more indi-
vidualized training with two
pools and right now we are
all cramped in one pool,” she
said.
“It is putting a damper on
what we can do training-
wise.”
Open swim times have not
been affected by the closing of
the main pool.
The costs for repairs were
being covered by the Univer-
sity.

DENVER — The Denver
Nuggets have a lengthy list of
pressing matters to address in
the offseason, and the most
important is fnding another
shooter to complement rising
star Carmelo Anthony.
“How about four?” coach
George Karl cracked. “Can we
get a big man who can make a
shot? Can we get a true shooter
on a three-point line? Maybe a
scorer and a shooter? A pen-
etrator?”
Hey, might as well dream big.
The Nuggets have plenty of
time to ponder their moves now
that they’ve made an early exit
from the playoffs for the third
straight year.
A season flled with injuries,
inconsistency and insubordina-
tion has left Karl contemplating
his future in coaching. General
manager Kiki Vandeweghe is
also unsure about his future in
Denver with his contract set to
expire Aug. 1.
So, it might very well be some-
body else’s mess to clean up.
There’s no urgency to get a
new personnel man in place
because the Nuggets don’t own
a first-round pick in the June
28 draft. But they do have six
players who are set to become
free agents and Anthony is eli-
gible for a contract extension
for upward of $80 million.
First, the Nuggets are going
to have to fgure out what to do
with forward Kenyon Martin,
whose tirade during the playoffs
over his lack of playing time led
to his suspension and could re-
sult in his ticket out of town.
The Nuggets’ fatal faw was
poor shooting, especially in the
playoffs.
Karl said the club went for
defense last summer and again
at the trade deadline, acquiring
Reggie Evans and Ruben Patter-
son instead of another shooter.
The newcomers helped
Denver clinch its first divi-
sion title in 18 years but the
Nuggets couldn’t overcome
their lack of scoring from the
perimeter in their first-round
thumping by the Los Angeles
Clippers.
“We had a chance to pick up
Ronald Murray and we decided
to go with the energy guys,”
Karl said. “It was very, very hard
watching your team basically be
controlled because you couldn’t
make shots.”
Still, Karl insisted that losing
to the Clippers wasn’t anything
to be ashamed of.
“They have seven guys on
that team that can get 30 on
any night,” he said. “How many
guys on our team if we leave
them in the gym all day can get
30?”
With so many injuries, it was
diffcult for Karl to put together a
cohesive lineup, and that meant
chemistry never developed.
“We need to have guys in
there who are committed to
doing things the right way, not
bickering and fghting among
each other, not worry about
whose team it is, who takes the
majority of the shots,” Marcus
Camby said. “The common goal
should be to go out there and
win. For the most part of the
season we were very selfsh in
that aspect.”
Anthony agreed and suggest-
ed he wanted to sit down with
management this offseason
to go over players who could
come in and help the Nuggets
get better: “I don’t want to be
like Kevin Garnett and take
eight years to get out of the frst
round.”
Karl said he understood their
frustration.
“I don’t want to point fn-
gers or blame anybody, but I got
back into the game to get back
into the gym, to get back with a
basketball family,” he said. “And
this year’s family was a little dys-
functional.”
Never before had Karl dealt
with so many injuries, the most
costly being the loss of forward
Nene, who went down in the
season opener with a knee
injury that sidelined him all
year.
“I think it took a pillar of our
foundation away,” Karl said.
Karl said fans will ultimate-
ly look at the divisional ban-
ner that will hang in the Pepsi
Center and appreciate what
the team accomplished this
year, when
Anthony took a major step
toward superstardom and
gritty players such as Edu-
ardo Najera and Francisco
Elson played beyond expec-
tations.
All that was overshadowed by
the problems that plagued the
team, from injuries to infghting,
from front-offce uncertainties
to locker room turmoil.
“The dysfunction always gets
the attention,” Karl said. “The
crazy always gets the magnify-
ing glass.
“You had chaos above and
on the team. You had it all over
the place. Coming in and get-
ting an energy in this team was
an art.”
Ultimately, Karl said, he was
simply proud of his team for its
perseverance.
“I would defnitely say there’s
more magic to this team than
mystery,” Karl said. “Now we
have to solve the mysteries.”

The pool in Robinson Gym is empty after steam melted pipes beneath the
pool. The pool will remain closed for the remainder of the semester.
