Music, camping festival heats up Clinton Lake
By ReBekah ScapeRlanda
rscaperlanda@kansan.com
An estimated crowd of about
20,000 people will attend the Wakar-
usa Music and Camping Festival this
weekend at Clinton State Park.
Since the festivals start in 2004,
the number of bands has almost
doubled and expected attendance
has almost tripled. The larger events
means more diverse music choices
and many other non-
musical activities.
The audience can
enjoy an array of
music from Emmylou
Harris country twang
to Cakes unique rock sound. Young
bands such as Stardeath and White
Dwarfs and older bands such as the
Flaming Lips come together in one
festival to bring music lovers four
days of paradise.
I have been to every Wakarusa
since they started, Trey Hornbeck,
Leawood senior, said. Music all day
and all night for four days and all of
your friends to be with, I wouldnt
miss it for anything.
Disc golf, hiking, yoga and swim-
ming in Clinton Lake are alternative
activities.
On Sunday morning campers are
asked to bring drums
and noisemakers
to the festival drum
circle. There are also
earth-friendly activi-
ties such as recycling,
a food drive and a sweatshop-free
clothing company fashion show.
There is a lake and a beach to go
to during the days that helps when it
gets to be so damn hot that no one
even wants to move, Hornbeck said.
Sitting on the lawn in front of the
stages and listening to the bands is an
incredible feeling.
Dont forget supplies
The summer heat Clinton lake
location demands that people be pre-
pared for the outside festival condi-
tions. According to Wakarusa.com,
the Wakarusa Camping day pack
check list includes: a water bottle,
toilet paper, bandana, insect repel-
lant, sunglasses, rainwear, binoculars,
camera, film, fishing gear, sunscreen,
lunch/snack, lunch cook set and a
field survival kit. The festival also
asks people to come prepared with a
personal first aid kit. Students staying
on the campgrounds can bring their
own tent or rent a tent and sleeping
bag from the Student Recreation and
Fitness Center.
A lot of students check out equip-
ment for Wakarusa, said Mike
Dickey, assistant director of outdoor
pursuits. They check out pretty
much all of our tents. It is one of
our busier times to check out equip-
ment.
picking the music
There are 122 bands at this years
Wakarusa Music and Camping
Festival, so picking which bands to
watch can be a tough process. The
headliners take up a lot of the buzz in
advertising, but a lesser-known could
end up being a new favorite.

The KU on Wheels routes and
schedules changed Tuesday because
of fewer summer passengers and
more construction zones around
campus.
The two bus routes that will still
be in service connect campus with
downtown and some of the major
apartment complexes, including
High Pointe, Meadowbrook and
Campus Court at Naismith.
Danny Kaiser, assistant director
of KU Parking and Transit, said con-
struction zones and street closures
caused some detours and limits for
the bus service. In one example, pas-
sengers have to stop at Bailey Hall to
get to the Kansas Union because
buses cannot get across Jayhawk
Boulevard. Kaiser also said the con-
struction near 19th and Louisiana
streets blocked the bus route from
serving the area this summer.
In the summertime, our rider-
ship has always been pretty low
anyway, Kaiser said. There are not
a lot of students who absolutely rely
on the bus in the summer time.
The Oread Inn construction
project will affect some of the fall
bus routes that use Oread Avenue.
Those routes will have to detour
down Louisiana Street and return
to campus via Mississippi Street.
Alternatives for students who
dont have an access to the KU
buses in their neighborhood
because of reduced summer
routes include driving or using
the city bus system.
Derek Meier, Independence
sophomore and transportation
coordinator for KU on Wheels,
said besides purchasing parking
permits, students could park at
the residence hall lots that were
open to public during the summer.
The Park and Ride Express, which
travels near the residence halls, is
free to anyone.
The city bus system offers route
8, which runs across campus and
connects downtown with 23rd
Street and Ousdahl Road. This route
has also been adjusted because of
construction zones around campus,
according to the
Lawrence Transit
System Web site.
Regardless of
those alternatives,
the KU on Wheels
summer routes create inconvenience
to some students who rely on the
KU bus service.
Kayla Fox, Lawrence sophomore,
who lives near the corner of 23rd
and Louisiana streets, said she rode
a bike or walked to get to campus.
She said she did not own a car and
used a KU bus only when it rained
or she had an early morning class.
It takes about 30 minutes to
walk to campus, Fox said. If it
rains, Ill try to get a ride from my
friends in the summer.
The KU transit system will
return to the regular bus routes and
schedules in the fall, but passengers
should expect a few modifications
of the service.
Two major adjustments will be
the the elimination of the Night
Campus Express and the merger of
the Naismith and Oliver route and
23rd and Louisiana route.
Kaiser said the Night Campus
Express was not a good use of funds
because it didnt have many pas-
sengers and the Park and Ride buses
and campus circulators operate dur-
ing the evening.
He said the merg-
er of the two routes
should add buses to
other routes.
One bus will be
added to the Sixth and Crestline
route and two will serve the Park
and Ride buses during busy times.
Meier said those adjustments should
increase efficiency and service avail-
ability of the KU buses.
KU on Wheels will introduce
the fare-free bus system in the fall,
which allows anyone on campus
to take a KU bus without paying.
Passengers off campus will be able
to board the bus by showing their
KUIDs.
Kaiser said he expected the num-
ber of passengers to increase because
of the new system.

Road construction
restricts campus
BY DEEPA SAMPAT
dsampat@kansan.com
Drivers will have limited access
through campus this summer
because of construction projects on
Jayhawk Boulevard and Mississippi
Street. The street closings will also
alter bus routes through campus.
The $8.8 million project will take
place over a three-year period, with
the majority of the construction
occurring this summer.
Jim Modig, director of design and
construction management, said the
construction repaired steam tunnels
around campus, which posed a threat
to workers. He said the department
completed a structural analysis of the
steam tunnels a few years ago.
It identified a number of tunnels
that were in structural failing condi-
tion, Modig said. We were putting
our workers in very poor working
conditions.
Modig said the repairs would
make the tunnels meet safety codes
and last for the next century.
Margaretta de Vries, senior
administrative associate for KU
Parking and Transit, said the con-
struction closed Jayhawk Boulevard
between Mississippi Street and Lilac
Lane. She said Mississippi Street was
also closed from Memorial Drive to
Jayhawk Boulevard. de Vries said the
only parking area that was closed was
the north end of Memorial Drive and
the area on Jayhawk Boulevard inside
the construction zone.
Everything else just has more
limited access, de Vries said.
She said Parking and Transit
removed parking from one side of
Memorial Drive for the summer to
give buses better visibility on the road.
Because of the limited parking, de
Vries said parking in the Mississippi
Street garage was free to people with
staff permits, but because student
parking spaces would not be affected
by the construction, yellow or Park
and Ride permits would not be valid
in the garage.
de Vries said the construction on
campus roads along with construc-
tion of the Oread Inn and at 19th and
Louisiana streets would limit and
alter campus and city bus routes.
Derek Meier, Independence soph-
omore and transportation coordina-
tor, said that because summer classes
were in session, students should
familiarize themselves with the bus
route changes to avoid frustration.
Students have to be aware that if
they are leaving the Kansan Union
on a bus they have to board by the
Spencer Museum instead top of the
Union, Meier said. I think initially
that will cause confusion.
Meier said that the new bus routes
shouldnt cause any delays and should
take an equal amount of time to get
through campus as current routes
do.
Modig said that Jayhawk Boulevard
would reopen by the beginning of
the fall semester and that additional
construction would take place by
Lippincott Hall and Dyche Hall. He
said work inside the steam tunnels
would be ongoing but ready by the
October heating season.

Peggy Sampson had never experi-
enced anything like this.
Sampson has worked at the
University of Kansas for six years
as a coordinator for the Universitys
Audio-Reader program. But on May
21, Sampson stood in a sunny field
in Scott county and watched a curi-
ous buffalo protect her calf.
They looked at us pretty suspi-
ciously, Sampson said.
Howd Sampson find herself just
feet from a herd of more than a hun-
dred buffalo? Sampson was a first-
time participant in the Universitys
annual Wheat State Whirlwind tour,
a five-day tour through the state of
Kansas. From May 19 to May 23,
more than 40 KU faculty members
participated in this years tour. In its
11th year, the tour was designed to
give faculty members an up close look
at some overlooked parts of Kansas.
Margey Frederick, a special events
and visitor services coordinator for
University communications, helped
coordinate the tour.
Its a way acquaint our new facul-
ty and staff with where our students
are from, and with rural Kansas,
Frederick said.
Fr e d e r i c k
said the tour
tried to expand
beyond the
usual Kansas
l a n d m a r k s
along I-70.
S a m p s o n
said, This trip
is something
Ive always
wanted to do.
In my work, I
travel a lot, but
mostly its up and down I-70.
The tour itinerary included
a stop at the Brown v. Board of
Education Historical Site in Topeka,
and visits to Landoll Corp. in
Marysville, Lake Wilson, the historic
African-American pioneer com-
munity Nicodemus, Fort Larned,
the Underground Salt Museum
in Hutchinson, the Kansas Law
Enforcement Training Center near
Yoder, and of course an afternoon
with a buffalo herd at Duff ranch in
Scott county.
It only took a
few moments for
Debra Hedden,
an associate pro-
fessor in music
education and
music therapy,
to comfirm that
the Buffalo were,
indeed, the
best part.
Hedden has
been at the
University for five
years, but she had never been a trav-
eler on the tour before.
It was a fabulous trip, Hedden
said.
Hedden said the trip was culmi-
nated with a visit to the Highland
Ranch in the middle of the Flint
Hills.
Its one of the most idyllic spots
Ive ever been, Hedden said.
Sampson said the tour also helped
her become acquainted with her KU
colleagues.
Its amazing to hear what these
people do on a regular basis,
Sampson said.
Sampson said shell remember the
kindness of the people she met along
the way and, of course the buffalo.
You only see stuff like that in
westerns, Sampson said.

Mike Elwell, chapter adviser for
Sigma Nu, visited members of its
colony four times a week last year.
He had to ensure they took proper
steps to prevent hazing and drinking,
received good grades and worked
on their petition to re-charter the
fraternity.
According to Elwell, the national
fraternity of Sigma Nu has told the
colony to start planning a date for its
re-chartering ceremony.
From an alum standpoint, its
nice to see this back on track, Elwell
said.

The University of Kansas depart-
ment of chemistry selected 10 parit-
icipants from different schools across
the country for its summer research
program. For the past 20 years,
the program has allowed students
research experience and encouraged
students to seek an advanced degree
in chemistry.
The Research Experience for
Undergraduates (REU) is a 10-week
program, targeting sophomores and
juniors from smaller institutions
with no advance degree in chemis-
try. The program is paid for by the
National Science Foundation (NSF).
Mikhail Barybin, program coor-
dinator, said REU gave undergradu-
ates their first real-life research expe-
rience. Barybin was an undergrad at
the University of Minnesota when he
participated in a REU program.
REU also offers professional
development seminars. Selected stu-
dents can partake in two seminars:
one that introduces students to a
career in chemistry and the other
that helps them to develop profes-
sional skills. Speakers were invited
to the program to talk with stu-
dents and share information about
an advanced degree in chemistry.
Barybin said although the pro-
gram was not primarily a recruiting
tool for the University, a number of
past participants went to graduate
school or became mentors.
Jimmie Weaver, Duncan, Okla.,
graduate student, in organic chemis-
try, participated in the REU program
in 2003 and is now a mentor. He com-
pleted the undergraduate program at
Southern Nazarene University and
took the summer REU program at
the University. He said the program
gave him the opportunity to do real
life research.
This program sets you up nicely
for what its like to be in a lab,
Weaver said.
Weaver said he thought the pro-
gram achieved its goal by giving
experience to students from smaller
universities where there was not a
lot of research opportunities. He
said REU helped him confirm his
decision to pursue a career in chem-
istry.
If it wasnt for the program, I
wouldve been hesitant to go into
that field, Weaver said.
Barybin said very few students
went through the program and real-
ized that they didnt want to pursue
a career in chemical science.
Students were matched with
faculty advisors and graduate and
post graduate mentors for guidance
during the program. Barybin said
participants worked on individual
research projects, which were pre-
sented at the end of the program at
the national and regional conven-
tion.
Weaver said during his pro-
gram, his adviser was attentive and
involved with him. He said that the
University was where students could
come and get the attention of a fac-
ulty mentor.
His past experience helped him
to mentor his student participants.
Weaver said he could relate to the
undergraduates in the program.
Ive asked the question they ask,
he said. So when they come to me,
I can give the logical approach to
answering the question.
Amanda Glass, Emporia gradu-
ate student, said her mentor was
also attentive. Glass participated in
REU in 2005 as an undergraduate at
Emporia State.
I had an amazing mentor. I still
go to him, Glass said.
Glass said REU was a good tool
of recruitment and encouraged stu-
dents to pursue an advanced degree
in chemistry. She said the program
encouraged her decision. Glass said
she hoped students were excited
about chemistry and continued to
learn about science.
Where science can be frustrat-
ing, there are fewer things that could
be more rewarding, Glass said.

Summer program provides research oppotunities
By chriStine DAmico
cdamico@kansan.com
A 22-year-old Lawrence man was
indicted on federal charges of alleg-
edly purchasing child pornography.
On May 22, Channing Burgess
was indicted for two reported pur-
chases of child pornography on Dec.
18, 2006 and Aug. 17, 2007.
The Lawrence man is one of
four caught in the federal govern-
ments recent child pornography
raid. Also included in the charges
are a 44-year-old Leavenworth man,
a 36-year-old Atchison man and a
29-year-old Gardner man.
According to U.S. District
Attorney Eric Melgren, the four cases
are not related.
According to the indictment, he
allegedly paid $79.99 twice, once in
December 2006 and once in August
2007, for his membership to the site.
The Lawrence man is facing
charges of purchase and possession
of child pornography. If convicted,
he could face at least 5 years and not
more than 20 years in prison and a
fine up to $250,000 for the purchase
charge and another 10 years $250,000
for the possession charge.
The case was filed through a
Department of Justice program enti-
tled Project Safe Childhood. Project
Safe Childhood coordinates state
and federal resources to better target
users and producers of childhood
pornography.
The case was one of four Kansas
cases filed with Project Safe in the
beginning months of 2008 along with
12 other possible cases.
Information concerning the charg-
es is being withheld until the summons
meeting for the defendants.
At this point, there is not much on
public record about the crime, said
Jim Cross, public information officer
for U.S. Attorney Eric Melgren.
The Lawrence man will face charg-
es on June 10 in federal court.

roller derby
Girls get physical, shed scripted past
BY BRYAN CISLER
bcisler@kansan.com
Rachel Traders friends couldnt
believe it when she tried out for a
roller derby league in Kansas City,
Mo. At the time, Trader was a
19-year-old biology major working
for Sprint hardly the image of a
typical roller derby girl.
When I tell people I do roller
derby they say I dont see you as
that type of girl, but really there is no
that type of girl. We have people of
all kinds doing this, Trader said.
Once a month at Hale Arena in
Kansas City, Mo., 80 girls lace-up
their skates and
compete for
the Kansas City
Roller Warriors,
an all-female roll-
er derby league.
Each player has a
skater name, and
Trader unleashes
her alter ego,
Archie Lee, in the
rink. A member of
the Dreadnought
Dorothys, skating
in front of thousands of people gives
Trader an opportunity to show fans
an aggressive side to her personality.
You really are a different type of
person, and that is the joy of having
a different kind of name, Trader
said. It is a different feeling to
have an outlet to blow off that steam
because a lot of us dont have a way
outside roller derby to get rid of that
stress.
The league was started four years
ago when the girls would practice in
parking lots filled with broken glass
and debris. Word spread about the
women, and the league quickly drew
fans. An average crowd at Hale
Arena ranges from 1,000 to 3,000
people. There are even plans for a
reality TV show about the league,
that will air on Metro Sports in
Kansas City next fall.
It is not only skaters who get into
the action, but fans as well.
Roller derby fans are also passion-
ate about the league.
Mary Burleson drove from
Arkansas to cheer on The
Knockouts in last Saturdays event.
Burleson, who sported a white wig
and a long blue dress, serves as the
teams unofficial mascot, and has
been a fan of the league since it
began.
You have girls beating up on each
other, Burleson
said, There
is no greater
entertainment if
you ask me.
Currently, the
league is trying
to showcase its
athletic side, and
shed unwanted
s t e r e o t y p e s
from its past. In
the 1970s bouts
were scripted,
putting roller derby in a category
with pro wrestling, rather than an
actual sport.
Tonya Hagedorn, Lawrence resi-
dent and police call dispatcher, is
constantly asked whether the sport
is real.
We dont work this hard in prac-
tice to not try our hardest to win,
said Hagedorn, who made the team
despite breaking her arm in tryouts.
The girls practice three times a
week, and injuries range from torn
ligaments to concussions.
For Joy Durham, also known as
DurHammer, roller derby takes a lot
more effort than people think.
I played soccer for eight years
and that was nothing compared to
this in terms of how physical this is,
Durham said. You have to be a seri-
ous athlete to play roller derby, you
cant just do this for fun.
Brooke Leavitt, one of the founders
of the Kansas City Roller Warriors,

realizing how tough it is. Leavitt,
who skates with only one arm after
a bus accident left her handicapped

finally has the right mix of girls.
Knowing that there is 80 girls

give it their all is what is so special
about this league, Leavitt said.

Kansas Citys 30th annual Gay
Pride Festival gave KU students and
others a chance to celebrate their
sexuality last weekend.
The celebration spanned three
days and included music, merchan-
dise giveaways, free HIV and STD
testing, food and drinks and a vari-
ety of vendor booths at Liberty
Memorial Park in Kansas City, Mo..
The entertainment varied from sing-
ers Martha Wash and Deborah Cox
to the dance group DC Cowboys.
This year the festival moved to a
different side of Liberty Memorial
Park to accommodate the growing
number of participants. The Kansas
City Gay Pride Organization esti-
mated that more than 17,000 people
participated last year and this year
was expected to exceed that num-
ber.
Andrew Kuttler, Wichita senior,
said the festival was not all about
partying for him.
The pride festival is just a time
to let things go and come together,
Kuttler said. Its about being proud
of who you are, not necessar-
ily because you are gay, but just
because you are proud of who you
are as a person.
Not all of the KU students
who attended the festival were
gay, though. Gabrielle McBride, a
Leawood junior, has come the last
three years in a row to support her
gay friends.
When I come to the festival, it
is like I feel what [my gay friends]
feel all the time, McBride said.
Here, I have a hard time picking
out the straight people and for
them that is every day because
they have a hard time picking out
the gay people.
For Austin Young, Tonganoxie
junior, and his boyfriend of one
year, Tyler Long, a junior at
Ottawa University, this was their
first time at the festival.
It is my first time to be around a
lot of gay people and just celebrate
my sexuality, Young said. It gives
you a real sense of community.
Billy Griffin, Leawood junior,
likes the festival because of the
relaxed atmosphere and remembers
his first time, three years ago, as
being slightly scary.
I didnt know what to expect,
Griffin said. Everything was so
new. I had just come out, but now
Im in my element here. Im not the
odd person out.
With free admission, many fami-
lies come to enjoy the festivities
during the day at the park, while an
older crowd enjoyed the music and
dancing at night.
Its not as scandalous as people
might think, McBride said. Its
not like people are making out
everywhere. Its just about pride
and friends.

Car bomb kills eight

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP)
An apparent car bomb exploded out-
side the Danish embassy in Pakistans
capital on Monday, killing at least
eight people and wounding dozens
more, officials and witnesses said.
The blast echoed through
Islamabad and left a crater more
than three feet deep in the road
in front of the embassy. Shattered
glass, fallen masonry and dozens of
wrecked vehicles littered the area. A
plume of smoke rose above the scene
as people, some bloodied, ran back
and forth in a state of panic.
Amir Ali, deputy commission-

were killed and six were wounded,
although witnesses said many more
were injured by flying debris. There
was no immediate information on

Korean War Memorial

The names are in alphabetical
order. William B. AskrenJohn
AstBayard Atwood.
Forty-four names in all. Theyre
a reminder of the Kansas students
who lost their lives in a war that
began 58 years ago this month. The
Universitys Korean War Memorial
sits on the hill above Potter Lake.
The Memorial turned three-years-
old in April.
Its easy to miss the memorial, or
at least miss its significance. A single
sculpture of twisted metal John
Haveners Korean Cranes Rising
sits in the middle of a brick circle,
while the plaque with the names is a
few feet away.
The plaque reads:
This memorial commemorates the
contest that began on June 25, 1950,
when North Korean military forces
crossed the 38th parallel and launched
a massive invasion of South Korea
A few shriveled up flowers lay
beneath the sculpture, and the list
of the names keeps on going. Carl F.

Lawrence residents with
Sunflower Broadband began seeing
changes to their favorite TV chan-
nels early Monday.
Sunflower Broadband made its
digital transition complete, now
providing 247 channels of digital,
premium and high-definition qual-
ity to customers. However, not all
transitions have been smooth.
Apartment complexes around
Lawrence that provide tenants with
cable specials have been working
with Sunflower Broadband to con-
tinue to provide cable service to
residents in light of the transition.
Residents must have either a digi-
tal TV or digital cable transition box
in order to view the new digital cable
channels and may need to upgrade
cable services from limited basic
cable to expanded basic cable.
We have been absolutely trying
everything to work with our apart-
ments over the past few months to
accommodate the transition, said
Patrick Knorr, Sunflower Broadband
general manager. We are a bit stuck
right now. Not everyone is happy
with the options.
Cable subscribers who do not
have digital capabilities will still
be able to view 37 channels that
Sunflower provides in analog for-
mat. However, some channels resi-
dents previously had may no longer
be available.
While Knorr estimates only about
10 percent of their customers are
unsatisfied with the new options,
local apartment complexes like The
Reserve, 2511 W. 31st St., whose
cable service is included in tenants
rent, are still in negotiations with the
cable company.
Part of the process we are going
through is in an effort to make sure
that we provide residents with quali-
ty cable service that meets and hope-
fully exceeds their needs, said Kelli
Scheuerman, community manager
at The Reserve.
Sunflower Broadband installed
optional digital cable boxes to
The Reserve residents last August.
For those apartment complexes
who did not receive digital boxes,
Sunflower will provide one digital
converter box for free for 12 months.
Additional boxes must be rented
from Sunflower. Negotiations will
continue for about another month.
We are viewing this as an oppor-
tunity to explore what is the best
option for our residents whether
that service continues to be through
Sunflower or not, Scheuerman said.
Meadowbrook Apartments and
Townhomes, 2601 Dover Sq., offers
special cable packages for residents
who pay Meadowbrook directly for
expanded cable. New special rates
will apply for residents but they may
still need to pick up a digital transi-
tion box or rent more for additional
TVs.
Brianne Koester, Hoisington
senior and Meadowbrook resident,
went to pick up her digital cable
transition box from Sunflower
before the June 2 deadline, but was
disappointed that residents receive
only one box for free.
My roommate would have to
pay more for another box to get the
same channels we get in our liv-
ing room, Koester said. I think it
would be more customer-friendly if
they would give us more than one.
Knorr said that Sunflowers digi-
tal cable boxes were more expen-
sive than other satellite providers.
In spite of the cost, Knorr said they
provided a high-quality of channel
service to cable subscribers.
Lawrence residents are not the
only ones who are being affected by
the digital transition era. According
to the Federal Communication
Commission Web site, by February
2009, broadcasters such as ABC,
NBC, CBS, FOX and PBS must stop
distributing their signal in an ana-
log format. The FCC has strongly
encouraged cable TV operators to
transition to all-digital distribution.

Cable provider gets upgrade
BY MANDY EARLES

Environmentally conscious
music fanatics can win concert tick-
ets by participating in Recycalusa,
a program that collects trash at
Wakarusa Music and Camping
Festival.
Becky Clark and Rylan Ortiz,
Kansas State University alumni, will
run Recycalusa, and lead its 140
volunteers.
Students for Environmental
Action at Kansas State started
Recycalusa four years ago, after
forming a coalition with KU
Environs. Since the programs start,
25,000 pounds of recycling has been
diverted from landfills. This years
goal is to collect 10,000 pounds,
2,000 more pounds than last year.
By getting everyone involved,
Ortiz hopes people will become more
aware of recycling and where they
can recycle in their own communi-
ties. Clark also said this program
encouraged people to do the right
thing, and made them think about
recycling even when they home.
Recycalusa volunteers will hand
out recycling bags to festival goers.
If concert attendees fill up their bag,
they can turn it into the Recycalusa
booth, receive free merchandise
and enter in a raffle to win a motor-
cycle and free tickets to next weeks
festival.
A Recycalusa booth will be set up
where local businesses and bands
can also donate merchandise, like
CDs and posters.
Volunteers come from around
the nation, but many are return-
ing from Kansas State and the
University.
Ryan Callihan, Lenexa senior,
said this would be his second year
volunteering for Recycalusa.
The best part is the feeling of
accomplishment, Callihan said.
Ashley Ferguson, Overland Park
senior, said it was Callihan who
introduced her to the program, and
recruited her to work as a volun-
teer.
They [the volunteers] are really
driven and they really want to help,
Ferguson said.

In the fight for unity among our
cultures, religions and politics, two KU
women stand up unified, but fatally in
contrast. They are taking the summer
as an opportunity to both express and
promote their drastically contradic-
tory opinions in order to enlighten
you on the beauty of diversity and
prove that in spite of it all, we can
all just get along.
This week Yelena and Jessica
examine how the concept of femi-
ninity in the American mindset is
constantly evolving. How do women
cope with their societal expectations
and how should men respond?
Yelena: We have come such a long
way from stay at home moms whose
primary concern is getting dinner
on the table. Some women, includ-
ing myself, do not want a family. We
put our careers first. Consequently,
we disregard the newfound role of
super-mom who does it all with
kids in tow. It is not necessarily a bad
position for women in society, more
can be said for focusing efforts on a
specific goal and achieving it instead
of spreading oneself too thin.
Jessica: Before we talk about how
much a woman can put on her plate,
lets examine the real issue: What is
femininity? No matter how different
we are among each other, women
have qualities inherently wonderful
and unique from men. We have to
get away from the idea that in order
to be successful women, we must
deny our gender. We need to stand up
and be the best we can be as women.
That means accepting our differences
from men, not as weaknesses, but
advantages. Then we can work
with men to further society in a
self-fulfilling way.
Yelena: The role of women
carries so much more weight
today than ever before. Of course
with the upcoming election, we
have prominent figures, such as
Hillary Clinton, who are striving
to accomplish a previously unat-
tainable goals. Regardless of your
political standpoint, this is a tri-
umph for our sex, and it will allow
us to go further than ever before
in the political spectrum. Perhaps
now, when a seven-year-old girl
says she wants to be president
someday, it will be plausible.
Jessica: I agree that Hillarys suc-
cess (not yet reached, I might add)
is extraordinary. Yet I think without
the support of her family she would
not be in that position. Does that
mean I think that she is not quali-
fied? Absolutely not. In fact, I think
she is better than Obama because of
her experience in the White House:
an experience she would not have
received without Bill Clinton. On
that note, I think that women should
not be ashamed to rely on their fami-
lies as support in their careers. Men
and women have complementing
abilities. Hillary is a great example of
a successful woman, but she is also a
good wife and mother. That is not a
bad thing.
Yelena: The concept of a success-
ful woman has a variety of aspects.
One womans success may be a family
with children, while anothers may be
a solid career. Women have evolved
from meek background figures to
prominent sex symbols. Take a look
at one of the top rated shows on E!s
Playboys The Girls Next Door. It
shows women using their bodies to
feature success. I am offended these
women would demean themselves
for a mans attention. With that said,
it is a means to an end. Only women
can do such a thing in todays society,
and that shows progress among
women. That is proof of our ability
to benefit from our sexuality. The
women on the show have received
fame as well as money, i.e. success.
If men did not want this women
would find other ways to achieve
success.
Jessica: Women today, as in every
other generation, have an innate
desire within them to be recognized
as women, beautiful women. Some
define their beauty in different ways:
money, careers or sexual attention.
No matter how the definition is
skewed, every woman wants some-
one to appreciate her femininity.
The women on that show are seek-
ing attention to fill a void that this
generation has created in making
women objects for a mans selfish
and impermanent desires. Women
have so much more to offer than
the superficial and short-lived beauty
men pay for. Men, if you want to live
up to your own masculinity, you need
to find the truly successful woman:
the one who respects herself by mak-
ing you fight for what it is that makes
her beautiful. And I promise, the
prize is much greater.

Jayhawk dirty talk
By Peter Soto
ADVICE
Have you ever wanted to ask a
question about sex that you thought
was too embarrassing to ask your
friends? Have you ever wanted rela-
tionship advice from an unbiased
party? Have you ever wanted an
outside opinion on whether to try
a ridiculously named sex position?
Do you wonder how long the aver-
age penis is when it is erect? (This
may seem like a male oriented ques-
tion, but I guarentee some women
out there want to know.)
This column is you chance to
ask those questions and get hon-
est, straight-forward answers and
advice.
I want you to benefit from the
many shameless questions I have
asked during my life. Because of
my experiences asking for advice,
I have decided to write this weekly
column for those of you who need
your whole question answered, not
just part of it. When I am answer-
ing your question, I will be writing
for you. That doesnt mean others
cant learn from your question, it
just means that I will only be con-
cerned with you and your specific
question at that moment.
Sometimes your question is too
complex for one simple answer and
thats where I come in. I dont claim
to know everything, but I want to
help you. I am willing to put in the
time to answer your questions by
combining research, professional
opinion and my own advice to
form a mixture of entertainment
and education. The point of this
column is to help you, the reader,
find the right answer. This little
space in the newspaper will act
as an anonymous, personal, thor-
ough dialogue between you and I.
Others will be able to benefit from
your questions too, because I bet if
youre asking the question, theyre
probably wondering the answer as
well.
By the way, studies have shown
it is 5.1 inches to 5.7 inches.

If so, summer could bring back-

rim-rattling dunks, a low-key week-
end at the lake and a mausoleum put
on display.
After all, theres
more to summer than
just sitting poolside.
Kansas City Power
and Light District and
the College Basketball Experience:
All summer
Though college basketball lives
in Allen Fieldhouse each winter, it
summers a few miles east in Kansas
City, Mo.
The College Basketball Experience
is a two-level interactive museum on
the edge of the Power and Light
District in downtown Kansas City,
Mo. The museum, attached to the
Sprint Center, works as a convenient
daytime companion to the Power and
Light Districts bustling nightlife.
The activities combined with the
museum make it an easy place to
spend a day, said Brian Kelly, who
brought his family to the College
Basketball Experience. The whole
area has a lot of neat stuff to do.
The top level of the
College Basketball
Experience caters to
active visitors the
level contains several
basketball courts tai-
lor-made for dunking and shooting
competitions. Downstairs, fans can
brush up on college basketball his-
tory with help from computers that
offer information on past coaches
and players.
Its not a museum, its an expe-
rience, said Jeff Gelb, College
Basketball Experience Coordinator
of Facilities and Operations. Its
designed so people can pick up a ball
and actually experience what col-
lege basketball is about shooting,
dunking. They can become part of
the game.
The museum sits across the street
from KC Live!, the Power and Light
Districts main entertainment hub.
The outdoor venue, which hosts
free weekly concerts throughout the
summer, is surrounded by bars and
restaurants such as Gordon Biersch
Brewery and Makers Mark Bourbon
House.
College World Series: June 14 to
June 25
Kansas baseball may have fallen
short of the postseason this year,
but some college baseball teams are
heading down the home stretch, hop-
ing for a trip to Rosenblatt Stadium.
Omaha, Neb., will host the College
World Series from June 14 to June 25.
The eight-team, double-elimination
tournament will crown college base-
balls national champion. Kansas is
not eligible for the College World
Series, but the event does not cater
solely to fans of specific teams. For
nearly two weeks, Omaha fills with
baseball fanatics of all allegiances.
The College World Series has
become an early summer Omaha tra-
dition. Rosenblatt Stadium has host-
ed the tournament since 1950 and
Omaha is under contract to hold the
World Series each year until 2035.
The College World Series is spe-
cial because of the tradition, said
Catherine Morrisey, executive direc-
tor of College World Series of Omaha
Incorporated. The sport has true
purity. Its a beautiful rendition of the
game, and its stunning to watch.
The series becomes an event for
the entire area surrounding the sta-
dium. Max Utsler, a KU professor
who will work his third straight year
as a scout at the series this month,
said everyone in the four-block area
of the stadium rented out their front
yard to vendors.
In the back yards of the houses,
folks set up beer gardens, Utsler
said.
A 10-game ticket costs $70 and
single-game general admission tick-
ets cost $10.
For those in need of a break from
baseball, Utsler suggested a daytrip
to the Henry Doorly Zoo, which is
adjacent to the stadium. The Old
Market district, which is two miles
north of Rosenblatt Stadium, is home
to many bars and restaurants such as
The Upstream Brewery, which offers
10 microbrews.
Lollapalooza: August 1 to August 3
The festival that made alternative
rock mainstream is back with a few
more genres in tow.
Lollapalooza, held August 1 to
August 3 at Grant Park in down-
town Chicago, boasts headliners as
diverse as Radiohead, Kanye West
and Wilco. A $190, three-day pass
buys an opportunity to see 108 per-
formers.
Its really festive and mostly a young
crowd, Courtney Bregar, Chicago
junior, said. Its a huge deal here

showcased underground rock and
grunge before fading out at the end
of the decade. Lollapalooza returned
in 2005 as an annual event set in
Chicago with a focus on delivering
more diverse performers.
The 2008 lineup includes main-
stream and under-the-radar artists
from genres such as hard rock with
Rage Against the Machine, hip-hop
with Lupe Fiasco and acoustic with
Iron and Wine.
Though vendors are plentiful
within the festivals fences, exit and
re-entry are allowed at Lollapalooza.
Grant Parks central location provides
the opportunity to stray from the
music for sightseeing or eating in
downtown Chicago. The park sits on
Lake Shore Drive, seven blocks from
the Sears Tower and is surrounded by
dining and shopping opportunities.
Oak Street Beachstro is a favorite
restaurant of mine, Bregar said. Its
right on the beach, and its open to
the outside.
Lake of the Ozarks: All summer
Ask Jim Divincen which Lake of
the Ozarks area golf course he likes
best, and he wont offer any recom-
mendations. Its not that Divincen
dislikes golf, but the Tri-County
Lodging Association administrator
cant name a favorite because there
are too many he enjoys playing.
If the Lake of the Ozarks, located
in central Missouri about 170 miles
east of Lawrence, has a problem, it
could be the overwhelming number
of activities it offers visitors. And
thats not a bad problem to have.
The lake, bordered by two state
parks, is popular for all sorts of boat-
ing. Fishing is common in the morn-
ing, jet skiing is the most popular
afternoon attraction and nighttime
provides an opportunity to visit Party
Cove, a mile-long stretch of the lake
frequented by revelers.
Its a pretty chill atmosphere,
Matt Guerra, Wichita sophomore,
said. The coolest thing was how
close everything was to the water.
The Lake of the Ozarks provides
plenty of dining and entertainment
choices for visitors on a budget. With
39 restaurants along the waterfront
and more than 100 retail stores in the
area, travelers have plenty of options.
The green fees at the areas 16 golf
courses arent especially steep, either.
Some of the biggest names in golf
have designed the courses, Divincen
said. Its very affordable, coming
from a big city where you might pay
$100 to play.
Western Kansas: All summer
Western Kansas has its fair share
of wide-open spaces, but the miles
between Lawrence and the Colorado
border have more attractions than
meets the eye.
Interstate 70 spans 422 miles
across Kansas, from the urban sprawl
of Kansas City to the flat fields near
the states western border. From
Lawrence west, the highway is dot-
ted with a days worth of quirky and
interesting locations.
One of western Kansas most
unusual structures is The Garden of
Eden, a building erected to honor
the 20th century populist move-
ment. The home-turned-museum,
built nearly 100 years ago by sculptor
and social commentator Samuel P.
Dinsmoor, contains more than 200
sculptures and oak, redwood and
walnut dcor.
The biggest attraction is the
architecture, Garden of Eden tour
guide Brandie Stoneburgh said. It all
tells a story. Everything has some sort
of meaning behind it.
Perhaps even odder than the
building are its contents. Visitors can
view Dinsmoors decomposing body
through a pane of glass. The sculptor
died in 1932.
Its really crazy and totally
unique, said Kayla Regan, Wichita
junior, who visited The Garden of
Eden with her parents. Youre not
going to find something that insane
in the rest of Kansas.
The towns between Lucas and
Lawrence also provide daytrips. The
Cozy Inn, wedged into a small build-
ing in downtown Salina, serves tiny
and inexpensive burgers. Abilene, a
town of fewer than 7,000 residents, is
home to the Eisenhower Museum and
Library and the famous fried chicken
of the Brookville Hotel, which was
put on the map by traveling soldiers
during World War II.
Parkville, Mo: All summer
About 10 miles north of down-
town Kansas City, Highway 9 sits
wedged between the Missouri river
and tree-dotted bluffs. As the busy
thoroughfare becomes a quiet lane,
Parkville, Mo., appears.
Parkville, home to Park University,
is a town of about 4,000 with the
character of a mini-Massachusetts
Street. The college sits on a hill north
of the town, overlooking the several
blocks of shops and restaurants that
comprise downtown.
Parkville is popular because its
such an eclectic area, said Gloria
Heifner, an employee at Northland
Exposure Artists Gallery in Parkville.
The stores offer unique experienc-
es.
In two block space, downtown
Parkville offers Argentinian, Italian
and French cuisine in addition to
the microbrews, pizza and sand-
wiches available at the Power Plant
Restaurant and Brewery.
Theres an old, traditional home-
town feel here, Power Plant owner
Scott Gardner said.

Top bars to visit this summer
Here are some eco-friendly tips
to keep your lawn looking its best
and promote a healthy environ-
ment.
1. Have your soil tested. Jennifer
Smith, a horticulture agent with the
Douglas County Extension Office,
said tests could help check pH lev-
els and help determine what could
and couldnt grow in your yard.

2. Dont bag your grass clip-
pings. Smith said leaving the clip-
pings on the lawn helped recycle
plant nutrients. This conserves
more water and less fertilizer is
needed.
3. Mow your lawn when the
grass is almost three to four inch-
es. Smith said this decreased the
number of times needed to mow
and helped your grass withstand
pest attacks.

Its summertime in Lawrence.
Students have left and been replaced
with construction zones. With such
a dramatic shift in the population, its
easy to end up at a popular college
bar and find the stools empty. Here
are the top bars to visit this summer.
5. louises west
1307 w 7th st.
During the school year, this water-
ing hole might not be on the top of
many lists, but when summertime
comes this bar shows its double life.
It may not be the roomiest bar in
town, but dont let that fool you. Its
cozy nature and scooner-sized beer
options attract all kinds of summer
residents.
Its definitely a niche bar, employ-
ee Brett Schowalter said. West will
continue with or without students,
but in the summer time there is defi-
nitely an influx.
4. cadillac ranch
2515 w 6th st.
If a dance floor more suits your
fancy, then head uptown to The
Ranch. Patrons can break down the
beat to an array of popular music.
Once youve built up a sweat, head
to the large outdoor patio. Beware
that it may not be a place for a quiet-
conversation, though.
3. Jet lag lounge
610 Florida st.
The next stop to put on your night
out list, Jet Lag. This bar is filled
with plenty of people and amazingly
priced drinks.
2. replay lounge
946 Massachusetts st.
The happening places in the
summer are different than during
the school year because their clien-
teles dont necessarily go to college,
Jayhawk Taxi driver Shawn Hoefler
said. He was right. After dropping
me off at the Replay, I realized live
music and a large patio was the per-
fect equation for a great night out.
The summer really picks up.
The size of the bar doubles with
how big the patio is and its a great
atmosphere, Lacey Doherty, Olathe
junior, said.
1. Quintons Bar and deli
615 Massachusetts st.
Its a lot more relaxed in the sum-
mer, more fun to drink at and more
mature atmosphere, 2007 graduate
Valerie Thudium said.
With two patios and four bars,
including the season-fitting ice bar,
Quintons laid-back environment can
suit everyone in a social group.
So, while out this summer, venture
to new places, try new social scenes
and mingle with the summer social
crowd around Lawrence.

Louises West patrons Patrick Buchanan and Brett Schowalter enjoy a couple of drinks at their
favorite summertime bar. Many other bars in Lawrence ofer fun for those summer downtimes.
If youre looking for a great way
to spend a summer night with
your friends, look no further than
your backyard. Creating a bonfire
can instantly warm up a summer
breeze. If you try to make this
camping classic on the ground,
you may cause a fire. For safety,
find a small or medium charcoal
grill to prepare your bonfire.
Remove the wiring from your
grill. Gather dry wood, sticks and
leaves and stack them in your grill.
Make sure they are dry because
damp wood causes more smoke.
Splash a tiny bit of lighter fluid
onto the wood and carefully light it
on fire. Prod the wood to keep the
fire going. As the fire burns low,
add more wood and leaves.
Once your bonfire is going, cozy
up and enjoy the flames. A fun way
to enjoy the bonfire is making
smores by buying graham crack-
ers, chocolate and marshmallows.
Get wire hangers from your closet
and unbend them to make roast-
ing utensils. Roast the marshmal-
lows on your hangers in your new
bonfire and enjoy the tasty treat.
Keep water or a hose near by in
order to control the flames if they
get too large. When youre finished
with your bonfire, make sure all
the flames are extinguished before
you go inside. Bonfires are fun, but
lighting your friends on fire does
not make for a fun night.
One of the best things about
summer is having some beer with
your friends around a bonfire in
the middle of nowhere, Margie
Rolwes, 2008 graduate, said. You
can have someone blasting a radio
from a car and its always fun. I
love grabbing a bag of marshmal-
lows and just hanging out by the
fire.

Revamp
clothes
with old
buttons
If youve ever noticed the spare
buttons sewn inside your button-
down clothing, stop wasting that
untapped potential and revitalize
your dull old clothes by sewing on
the buttons.
Gather a variety of buttons. Choose
a purse, plain jacket, shirt or jeans to
decorate. You can add spice with some
unusually big buttons. Sometimes
using contrasting colors works well.
Ask Grandma if it would be all right to
modify her ancient hand-me-downs.
Experiment with button placement
before you start sewing. Photograph
or sketch your final design to refer-
ence as a guide. There arent many
rules for this, so be creative and have
fun.
For each button, slide a half yard
of thread through the eye of a needle.
A needle threader makes this easy
for you. Fold the thread in half and
tie two or three firm knots at the
end. Push the needle up through the
back of side of the fabric and through
one of the holes in the button. Then
push the needle back down through
the next hole and through the fabric.
Repeat this three times for each hole.
End with a secure double-knot at the
inside of the clothing.
A needle and threads are available
at Hobby Lobby, 1801 W. 23rd St. You
can find antique buttons at the lower
floor of Lawrence Antique Mall, 830
Massachusetts St.
Enjoy your transformed clothes
and wear them boldly!

Poof Pastry
Laura Kitzmiller, Prairie
Village junior, shares her quick
and easy recipe for getting a cheap
sugar rush.
ingredients
1 can of Pillsbury crescent
rolls
1 bag of marshmallows
1/8 stick of butter
Dash of sugar
Dash of cinnamon

directions
Place one marshmallow inside
each crescent roll. Put each roll
on a cookie sheet and bake for
eight to 10 minutes.
Watch and theyll poof up,
Kitzmiller said, while taking a
break from work at Pita Pit, 1011
Massachusetts Street.
Melt the butter in a bowl and
dip the crescent roll in butter after
taking rolls out of the oven.
With your pastry now satu-
rated in butter, roll it in an already
prepared bowl of cinnamon and
sugar and enjoy.
Its just ridiculously sugary
and awesome, Kitzmiller said.
Kitzmiller swears shes a bit of
a health nut at heart. But even she
has succumbed to the Poof Pastry
urge a time or two. After all, how
can you resist the unusual combi-
nation of butter, sugar, cinnamon
and marshmallows?
Its just a good, cheap dessert
if youre bored and you want a
snack, she said. Its pretty easy,
pretty fast and fun. And it serves
a lot of people.

Salmonella outbreak linked
to uncooked tomatoes
ATLANTA An outbreak of sal-
monella food poisoning frst linked
to uncooked tomatoes has now
been reported in nine states, U.S.
health ofcials said Tuesday.
Lab tests have confrmed 40
illnesses in Texas and New Mexico
as the same type of salmonella,
right down to the genetic fnger-
print. An investigation by Texas
and New Mexico health authorities
and the Indian Health Service tied
those cases to uncooked, raw, large
tomatoes.
At least 17 people in Texas and
New Mexico have been hospital-
ized. None have died, according to
the U.S. Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention.
Another 30 people have be-
come sick with the same Salmo-
nella Saintpaul infection in Arizona,
Utah, Colorado, Kansas, Idaho, Illi-
nois and Indiana. CDC investigators
are looking into whether tomatoes
were culprits there, too.
In Texas and New Mexico, raw
large tomatoes including Roma
and red round tomatoes were
found to be a common factor in
the 40 illnesses.

of Sigma Nu were replaced. Alumni
hosted events in Kansas to recruit
new leadership.
Jordan Herbert, Olathe sophomore
and Sigma Nu president, said the col-
ony worked hard to write a 400-page
petition to present to the national
fraternity, located in Lexington, Va.
They must demonstrate they can
form a lasting organization.
You have to prove to the nation-
al chapter that youre working to
be a rock chapter, which embodies
everything good about a fraternity,
Herbert said.
According to Herbert, Sigma Nu
has 23 members this semester, and
they are anticipating 50 members for
next semester.
Were getting back into Greek
activities and philanthropy. Now
were trying to reach out to the com-
munity and the University, Herbert
said.
Herbert said he believed the
national fraternity should perform
a re-chartering ceremony before
October.
Brad Beacham, executive director
of Sigma Nu Fraternity, Inc., said he
would be surprised if the Sigma Nu
colony was not ready for their char-
ter by the end of the year.
The fraternity is delighted at the
wonderful work out student mem-
bers have done over the course of this
last academic year, Beacham said.
The national fraternity needs to
evaluate a colonys petition before
granting a charter, but Beacham
believes the KU colony is very close
to completion. John Gofcha, Salina
sophomore, helped with philanthro-
py projects such as Cans for Chemo
to help re-gain the colonys charter.
Since we were restarting, there
were lots of leadership positions
open, and you could jump right in,
Gofcha said.
Gofcha hopes Sigma Nu will make
strides in its grades and participation
on campus next year.
Were really looking forward to
the re-chartering ceremony, Gofcha
said.

Festival ofers 5Rhythms
Before dancing to the tunes of
your favorite band at the Wakarusa
Festival, take advantage of the many
yoga and healing sessions offered
every morning of the festival.
This is the second year Laura
Martin-Eagle, instructor at Be Moved
Studio, 2 E. 7th St., will be leading
sessions at the festival. Martin-Eagle
will teach 5Rhythms practice, which
is a type of dance movement meant
to help participants be conscious of
their bodies and their movements.
Martin-Eagle said that she would
lead the 5Rhythms practice at the
Wakarusa Festival differently than
she usually did at the studio.
I will be facilitating movement
in peoples bodies as a way to con-
nect to a deeper part of themselves,
allowing different parts of their bod-
ies to speak, she said.
Martin-Eagle said that no mat-
ter what a persons experience
level, everyone could participate in
5Rhythms. She said that she thought
it would be especially beneficial to
patrons of the Wakarusa Festival.
A lot of these kids are very recep-
tive to movement and there seems to
be this idea that you can move your-
self and lose your body while danc-
ing, she said. I tend to teach that
you can find your body by dancing.
Not only does the 5Rhythms
practice help to create awareness
of ones body, but it also helps to
maintain ones mental health. (said
Martin-Eagle?)
A clenched jaw or raised shoulder
may be a sign of harboring anxiety,
Martin-Eagle said. Allowing those
places to move allows the anxiety to
move out as well.

BOOK REVIEW
From the get-go, The Strangers
is saddled with the weight of its
genre. Movie-goers know how hor-
ror films tend to end, which makes
writer-director Brian Bertinos duty
quite a bit more difficult. Given the
predictability of the films plot and
the inevitability of its events, Bertino
does a stand-up job.
The film opens with a look-ahead
scene that shines light on the dark
and dreary crime scene created dur-
ing the next 80 minutes. Bertino
lends humanity to his protago-
nists by painting James Hoyt (Scott
Speedman) and Kristen McKay (Liv
Tyler) as detached pieces in a rela-
tionship gone wrong.
The bitter lovers dispute becomes
the least of their worries as the movie
progresses and masked intruders ter-
rorize the couple at their remote
country home. Speedman and Tyler,
who dont deliver much dialogue,
offer believable performances.
Though The Strangers falls
back on old tricks of the horror
genre to trigger scares, it often suc-
ceeds because of the masterful use of
music and camera angles. The film
is Bertinos directorial debut, but he
synchronizes the films ambient score
with the action with veteran preci-
sion.
The Strangers is more formulaic
than it is revolutionary, but Bertinos
deft work is enough to provide an
unsettling experience.

Youve seen teen pop stars come
and go, writing one-hit wonders
then vanishing into the night. If
theyre lucky, they could gener-
ate enough scandal publicity long
enough to drop another album and
redeem themselves. But one won-
ders about teen pop star Robyn.
Robyn, who graced pop charts in
1997 with her hit, Show Me Love,
has now returned to beat the charts
again. In her self-titled album,
Robyn, she introduces a funky,
pop-electro sound. The songs are
written and produced by her label,
Konichiwa. Now, all grown up, the
28-year-old delivers confidence and
attitude in Konichiwa Bitches and
flaunts her uniqueness in Whos
that Girl. Shes stepped out of the
norm and produced a new flavor
that people can dance to with songs
like Cobrastyle and Bum Like
You.
Robyn is an album people
would enjoy. So in the words of
Robyns song, Konichiwa Bitches,
check the scenario: Im a bust your
ear drum leave your head ringin
with the ringa ding dong.

Rebel fighters ripped Sierra
Leone apart during the 1990s,
killing soldiers and civilians with
unimaginable brutality.
Ishmael Beah watched the hor-
ror first-hand, serving as a child
soldier for the army as recounted
in A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of
a Boy Soldier.
Coerced by his military superiors
into drug use and rewarded for his
lethalness, Beah was promoted in the
ranks, and loyal to the war cause.
An intervention by UNICEF sud-
denly thrust Beah into a peaceful
environment, but did little to stop
the demons left by years of war.
Beahs memoir of the civil war in
Sierra Leone is a riveting reminder
of the evils of war, and its life-alter-
ing effect on everything it touches.
Beahs story is gut-wrenching
and capable of making your skin
crawl, as he details the slow deaths
of civilians. His message is also up-
lifiting, a reminder that an average
person can overcome horrendous
obstacles.

fOOd REVIEW
Yummys lives up
to its tasty name
Option was the first word that
came to my mind after visiting
Yummys Over the Top Frozen
Yogurt. This is because Yummys,
1119 Massachusetts St., gives its
customers more options for how
they want to build the perfect ice
cream, excuse me, frozen yogurt
sundae, than any other ice cream/
frozen yogurt shop in town.
When I walked inside, I chose
between a regular dish and a waffle
cone dish. I went with the regular
dish because I already planned to
consume enough sugar to make
pixie sticks jealous. Then nine soft-
serve frozen yogurt pumps greeted
me. As curious as peanut butter
frozen yogurt made me, I could
not resist the classic vanilla and
chocolate swirl.
Next I moved down the counter
to the sauce station, which featured
nine different sauces. Call me bor-
ing, but I am not a guy who sees hot
fudge and turns it down, although
it was nice to know I could have
chosen from raspberry sauce or
melted marshmallows.
I skipped over the fruit and baked
goods station, and I did appreciate
the concept of brownie chunks and
cheesecake bits as toppings.
Finally, I arrived at the candy
station. By candy, I mean 36
choices ranging from classics
like sprinkles and gummy worms
to more unusual choices such as
Capn Crunch. I yielded to my all-
time favorite topping, crunched up
Oreos, and decided to call it a
sundae.
At Yummys, customers pay 42
cents per ounce of sundae. This
leaves the door open for customers
to decide how much they want to
pile on. People like me may want to
stick to the basics, but others, like
the kid in front of me, may want
to see how a nine-flavor combo
tastes.
Yummys has the most options
and is the pinnacle of frozen yogurt
in Lawrence.

MENS BASKETBALL
NBA-hopefuls grades called into question
BY CASE KEEFER
ckeefer@kansan.com
Darrell Arthur is expected to be
picked in the first round of the NBA
Draft this month because of a suc-
cessful college career at Kansas, but
one of Arthurs high school teachers
is alleging that he shouldnt have
been eligible to play in college at all.
Winford Ashmore, Arthurs fresh-
man algebra teacher at South Oak
Cliff High School in Dallas, told
WFAA-TV that Arthurs grade was
changed from failing to passing in
his 2002 class. The Dallas television
station investigated the claims and
reported that Arthurs math grade
was also changed the next year.
If Arthur didnt pass high school
algebra, he wouldnt have been eli-
gible to play Division-I college bas-
ketball. James Mays Jr., Arthurs high
school basketball coach, denied the
report and said he was upset that the
television station would release the
story without sufficient information.
Were disappointed and frustrated
at the same time, Mays said. These
allegations are completely untrue.
The Dallas Independent School
District is conducting its own inves-
tigation to determine if any grade-
changing took place. If the school
district finds that Arthurs grades
were tampered with, South Oak Cliff
would likely have to forfeit its 2005
state championship.
Stacey Osburn, the NCAAs asso-
ciate director of public relations,
couldnt answer the question about
how this would affect the KU nation-
al championship.
Until the Dallas Independent
School District has concluded its
investigation, it is premature for the
NCAA to speculate on this matter,
she said.
WFAA-TV, however, reported in
its initial story that an NCAA official
said a university could be forced to
forfeit all games if an ineligible player
was used. Like all NCAA athletes,
Arthur was ruled eligible to compete
by the NCAA Clearinghouse before
arriving on campus in 2006.
Jim Marchiony, associate athletics
director, said that while Arthur pass-
ing through the clearinghouse didnt
absolve the University of all respon-
sibility, he didnt think the University
was involved in any wrongdoing.
I would be much more concerned
if I thought that Darrell or anybody
from Kansas had done anything
improper, Marchiony said. I know
thats not the case.
Marchiony added that the
Athletics Department had not been
given any notification of when the
school districts investigation would
be completed.
Everyone involved is waiting for
the investigation to run its course,
including Kansas basketball coach
Bill Self.
Im sure the high school and the
school district will do a good job
determining the facts, Self said in a
statement. It would be premature
and inappropriate for anyone to com-
ment any further until the process in
Dallas takes its course.
Arthur has not commented on
the situation, either. He attended the
NBA Pre-Draft Camp in Orlando
last week where he told reporters he
intended to remain in the draft.
Mays has been in contact with Arthur
since WFAAs story first aired. He said
that while Arthur was disappointed by
the allegations, he wasnt letting it dis-
tract him from preparing for his life as a
professional basketball player.
Mays also said he planned to pur-
sue legal action against both Ashmore
and the television station. Ashmore
declined to comment.

VOLLEYBALL
Camp grooms local talent
BY JESSE TEMPLE
jtemple@kansan.com
Katie Martincich bent her knees,
shuffling between three volleyballs
placed on the floor at mid-court
Saturday afternoon inside the
Horejsi Family Athletics Center.
Thirty wide-eyed summer campers
watched from the baseline as the
Shawnee junior demonstrated prop-
er footwork and setting technique.
The moment passed in less than
two minutes. But symbolically,
Martincichs career as a Jayhawk
volleyballer had come full circle.
Not long ago, she was the one star-
ing up from the very same baseline,
hoping to be a collegiate player her-
self.
Martincich is one of many cur-
rent and former KU volleyball play-
ers who grew up attending head
coach Ray Bechards camp as mid-
dle and high schoolers. Martincich,
Emily Brown, Savannah Noyes and
Jenna Kaiser, key components to
last seasons roster, all made the
trek to the summer camp growing
up. So did former Jayhawks and
local products Jamie Mathewson
and Dani Wittman, who still return
to teach lessons at the camp.
Ive probably been here since
I was 12 years old, Martincich
said. Its kind of fun to be able to
know what (the campers) are going
through, but now Im actually play-
ing here.
KU assistant coach Christi Posey
said it was no coincidence that sce-
nario plays out.
I think it helps to establish rela-
tionships with the coaching staff
and also the players, Posey said.
What better way to find out if
your coach is going to be a jerk or
somebody who you can work with?
Certainly, you can develop some
camaraderie with future players.
That was just the way it devel-
oped for Martincich, who said she
became good friends with Brown at
the KU camp when the two were in
high school.
It actually was a pretty big deal,
Martincich said. I knew Emily
pretty well. We were suitemates at
one of the camps. Neither one of
us had committed at that point. So,
it was like, If shes going, then Im
going to go.
Because both local players
attended camp in a smaller setting,
the two were able to feel a level of
comfort they may not have found
at larger, national summer volley-
ball camps a significant advan-
tage at the University, according to
Bechard.
My own daughter went to a
variety of camps all over the coun-
try, and she found out this might
be as good of a camp as what she
had, Bechard said. Sometimes its
Lets get outside of Lawrence and
experience something different. But
those kids usually come back. I
think it means we must be doing a
good job.
The University is doing a good
job of maintaining players from its
own state. Last years roster featured
seven players from Kansas, many
of whom attended Bechards camp
while being recruited.
I feel like there is a lot more
coach-on-camper attention at KU,
Martincich said. Some national
camps have a lot of kids there and
its hard to get much one on one
time.
According to Posey, single-day
camp ratios stay about six players to
one coach and even the Universitys
largest camps never have a ratio of
more than 12-to-1. National camps,
on the other hand, have much larger
ratios.
We just think you can begin to
develop some quality relationships
and hopefully build on that for the
next level, Posey said.
Last weekend, nearly 300 camp-
ers between 6th and 12th grade
came to Kansas three-day volleyball
camp, which focused on setting, hit-
ting and defense. Another 200 were
expected for the overnight camp,
which began on Tuesday and runs
until Friday.
Its likely that a future Jayhawk
or two lies somewhere in those
500 campers. Perhaps someday
they, like Martinich, will return to
Horejsi Center as Jayhawks to leave
an impression on young campers
watching drills from the baseline.
Its nice that you feel like when
you put some work in, there is a
little bit of a reward to have those
kids come back to be on scholar-
ship, Posey said.
Top fve moments in Kansas sports

5. May 16, 2008: Egot Agafonov
wins Big 12 title in hammer throw
Its not even fair. For the third
straight year, senior thrower Egor
Agafonov won the hammer throw at
the Big 12 Championship. Hes the
only athlete to ever accomplish the
feat.
4. November 3, 2007: Kansas
76, Nebraska 39
Led by quarterback Todd
Reesing, the Jayhawk offense went
berserk against national pow-
erhouse Nebraska. Kansas scored
touchdowns on 10 straight offen-
sive possessions and Reesing threw
for six touchdowns.
3. April 5, 2008: NCAA Final
Four Kansas 84, North Carolina 66
The Jayhawks went on an unprec-
edented 40-12 run to open the game
against the Tarheels in San Antonio.
They completely embarrased Tyler
Hansbrough, the national player
of the year, and old friend Roy
Williams along the way.
2. January 3, 2008: FedEx
Orange Bowl Kansas 24, Virginia
Tech 21
Not only did Kansas make its
first Bowl Championship Series
bowl game, but it also made the
most of it. The Jayhawks put away
the heavily favored Hokies and
capped off a dream season behind
Orange Bowl Most Valuable Player
Aqib Talibs first quarter intercep-
tion return for a touchdown.
1. April 7, 2008: National
Championship
With 2:12 left in regulation,
the Jayhawks trailed the Memphis
Tigers by nine and all hope seemed
to be lost. But Sherron Collins stole
an in-bounds pass and drained
a three, the Tigers missed some
free throws and Mario Chalmers
hit the shot. The rest is history:
Kansas 75, Memphis 68.
