The hazy morning light on Mount Oread mixed with dew and produced a serene mist. He silently observed, tak- Destinations in all directions would provide comfort and sustenance and a place with plentiful resources to build a nest. The hour struck 9 o ' clock, and the chimes broke the morning calm. He fluffed his feathers and proudly pushed his crimson breast outward in preparation for take-off. His view was limitless. i , ' xT . -t. . .... e sat on his unmade single bed on the eighth floor of Ellsworth Hall glancing at the bare cement wall. The pairs of beds, desks and chairs were his only company for the moment. Flustered parents and freshmen rushed by outside his dorm-room door struggling to carry uggage and refrigerators simultaneously. As he wiped the sweat from his brow, he paused from the unpacking and pulled out his cass schedule. English 101, Math 115, Psychology 104 and Biology 100. A voice startled him, and his new roommate extended a hand and a warm smile. He saw that his flight would be smooth. e drove his Ford Explorer expertly down Iowa Street. He had already memorized all the routes to his new apartment. His phone had been chirping all morning. Old friends were back in town and ready to hit Flanigan ' s that night. His life at the University of Kansas was settled, and )nzon was clear SI e hurried through the Union to reach the Community for Center Outreach office in time for his office hours. Trekking up the hill from Macroeconomics in Summerfield to the Union in ten minutes was a challenge in the winter, but not one he couldn ' t handle by junior year. Office time was spent taking applications for Alternative Spring Break an event he looked forward e relaxed on the aluminum stands of Memorial Stadium shielding his eyes from the blinding sun. Chancellor Hemenway ' s words of wisdom struck a chord. Looking back, he was proud of his time at the University as Hilltopper, editor of the Kdnsan, CCO leader. But now, he could see beyond the sea of black gowns to his future at the Portland Oregonian. A_nd the Jayhawl sits, forever perched regally upon Mount Oread, welcoming generation afte generation, hie has witnessed the rise of the Phog, the championship 1 988 Men ' s Basketball team, the burning of Hoch Auditorium and each publication of the University Daily Kdnsan. Evoving with the University, his view is timeless. Jayhawk Boulevard was always packed with an eclectic mix of students, faculty and the Lawrence community. Photo by Brad Dreier The view from atop Mount Oread was breathtaking. Patches of crimson and blue and the shades of the Golden Valley brilliantly coored the Kansas andscape as did KU students. All ethnicities blended together along Jayhawk Boulevard; they walked as one group. They called places from Kansas to Thai and home and each anded in Lawrence with a sightly different perspec- tive. Some had a world view and some knew ony the farmands surrounding Hays. Combined these perspectives transformed into a single KU vision. )espite their diverse individua goa s KU stu- dents united with a common desire to become Jayhawks and make the most of their KU experi- ence. Nestled in their niches Jayhawks created their own unique visions for the University of Kansas and the future. Passport to Homecoming ition etched into Americana found its place at the University once again when the Passport to the Id homecoming festivities graced campus in late October with the annual parade and football game. Numerous floats and the University of Kansas Marching Band provided the entertainment for the Friday, Oct. 20 parade. The Kansas football team entertained spirited fans the next day by defeating Colorado 23-15, the Jayhawks ' second straight homecoming win against the Buffaloes. Kimberly Thompson, Springfield, Mo., junior, contributed to the homecoming spirit. Thompson, a member of the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority, spent two hours during the week pomping the Kappa Alpha Theta Phi Delta Theta float. Pomping involved putting colored tissue into chicken wire on floats. Despite the work, Thompson enjoyed the homecoming festivities. I liked the homecoming parade; the announcers were funny, she said. There was a good crowd at the game, and a bunch of people were tailgating. After attending Oklahoma ' s and Missouri ' s homecomings this year, Thompson said those schools involved the alumni more than the University, and they also had homecoming royalty. But she liked not having crownings in Lawrence. Some students spent time with visiting alumni. Kathryn Moore, Edina, Minn., senior and Alpha Delta Pi sorority member, enjoyed time with alum- nae. A bunch of alums from my sorority went with us to the bars that evening, Moore said. We went to the Jet Lag. Many of them hadn ' t been there since it was remodeled. Some of the alumnae also had some words of wisdom. They all kept saying ' You should stay in school ' and ' College is the best time of your life, ' Moore said. But I want to graduate. The influx of alumni also meant hectic times for other students. Koby Hartman, Clifton senior, was a cook at Sports Page Brewery. It was mainly a KU crowd, Hartman said about the restaurant on homecoming game day. It was just a crazy day. Also crazy were some fans at the Colorado game. A handful of KU students stormed the field to tear down the goal posts, but they were booed by students in the stands. Many fans didn ' t think a win against a 1-5 Colorado team warranted goal-post destruction. That was ridiculous, but at the same time, it was funny, Tyler Huslig, Kinsley junior, said. Story by Shawn Linenberger Photos by Lori Amey I ' D color guard paused its routine momentarily to rest. The team prac- ticed four days a week for performances. Students lined up along Jayhawk Blvd. in front of Wescoe where the largest crowd gathers. The marching band played tunes for the color guard to twirl to. Sigma Kappa and Triangle members rode along their float, waving to students and Lawrence residents. 11 (J Z Z i i i Massachusetts Street compromised its local, eclectic feel for pairs of trendy flare jeans.

A center for creativity and individuality, Massachusetts Street always had drawn the diverse student population of the University of Kansas. A collection of independ- ent record stores, trendy used-clothing shops and cozy coffee shops, the unique strip attracted students who sought something a little different maybe a vintage skirt or a rare Descendents CD. But at the north end of the street sat a newer set of build- ings. Chain clothing stores sprang up in the 600 block and received mixed reactions. The Gap and Abercrombie and Fitch welcomed neighbors Eddie Bauer in September and American Eagle in November. Some students said the stores filled a cloth- ing market void in Lawrence, while others bemoaned a corpo- rate intrusion that could take away from the character and atmosphere of downtown. David Mazzarese, Overland Park senior, said Lawrence needed stores such as The Gap and Abercrombie and Fitch because many students donned the stores ' fashions. Driving to Overland Park everytime I want to go to Abercrombie and Fitch would be a hassle, he said. It fits in Lawrence because so many people wear the clothes. Ken Gillaspie, manager of Eddie Bauer, said that the new store ' s location was profitable, and that business in Lawrence was good. He said that 30 percent of Eddie Bauer ' s business came from students, and that they benefitted from being located BORDERS BOOKS ' MUSIC CAFE near The Gap. It ' s going to help all of us, he said of the stores ' grouping. People are coming down to this destination; it tends to bring the entire family down. Commercialization in a town that supported its locals was a concern. Ellen Wise, manager of Arizona Trading Company, a buy- sell-trade establishment, said the new stores would be a positive addition to the community. If anything we ' re going to see more stuff, she said about her store ' s business. The more stores we have in town, the more variety we ' ll have. People have money and they ' ll want that outlet. I don ' t think if it had an adverse affect on Lawrence the community would support it, but this has always been a pro- local business town. Terah Davis, Bucklin junior, said she preferred the old eclectic flavor of Massachusetts Street. The local shops are quaint, and I think that maybe they could have put the trendy chain stores somewhere else in town, she said. The trend of commercialization on Massachusetts Street, however, added to the diverse sampling of stores. The shopping experience in Lawrence became richer with the additions; there truly was something for everyone.

Story by Amanda Hay Pho tos by Brad Dreier 13 diggin our duds Clothes-minded KU students produced a fashionably diverse campus. To wear or not to wear? That was no longer the question. Fashion trends at the University of Kansas were as diverse as the students were. Milling through the masses on Wescoe Beach, one could find students decked out in the latest spaghetti-strap tank top design from Abercrombie and Fitch, as well as individuals proudly exhibiting a rare find from a second-hand shop. There were the extremes those who matched plaids and florals or opted for no shoes - and there were the mainstream in pairs of comfy jeans and baby t-shirts. But each ensemble was a unique form of self-expression. The clothing worn on campus could not be characterized as standard. Despite the trends of modern culture, a stroll down Jayhawk Boulevard lent access to nearly all types of styles. No two people dress alike, said Kandice Sanaie, Yates Center freshman. I am amazed by the many different styles and especially by how accepting people are of fashion eccentricities at KU. While KU students were known for pushing extreme limits with fashion, they were all inter- ested hi one thing comfort. This interest resulted in numerous outfits highlighting comfort and style. Jeans with sweaters or t-shirts often were seen. Comfort on campus is essential when sitting through hours of lectures and discussions, said Kim Brower, Overland Park junior. Evidence of following fashion trends was seen on the streets of campus as well. Many students found it exciting to adopt for their own wardrobes the newest trends in fashions found in maga- zines and television. I like dressing trendy, said Sarah Osbem, Piper sophomore. It ' s always different, so it makes me feel adventurous. Other students opted for a style popularized in the 1960s and 1970s. Nearly all students sport- ed jeans with flared ankles or jeans with pattern designs at the ankle. I don ' t like the tapered look, I like my jeans to flare out, said Amy Randolph, Lenexa jun- ior. I think bootcut jeans are just more comfortable. All students ' styles were accepted by their peers on campus, evidence that students at the University encouraged individuality and creative expression inside the classroom and out on the Boulevard. Story by Alana Terry Photos by Brad Dreier 14 fashion - Clockwise from left: With the challenging terrain of Mount Oread, students ' fashions often depended on weather shorts in October wasn ' t unusual. Girls often found comfort in the form of jeans and plain, clingy t-shirts. Comfort was the top priority for KU students who wanted to relax in odd places on cam- pus. I I I z n; l E Top: Dance competitions often took place at The Granada when serious club kids wanted to strut their stuff. Bottom: Louise ' s Downtown offered a laid-back alternative to up-beat dance clubs. During the daytime, students crammed for tests, bus- tled to class and pretended to stay awake in Economics. But magically, as the sky faded from blue to black, students were consumed by the thoughts of a night on the town. Lawrence provided an exciting nighttime outlet for almost every student ' s preference. I go to Brown Bear on Fridays, not only because it ' s ladies night, but I really like the atmosphere, said Angela Ramos, Overland Park senior. The music they play is really unique. Filled with commotion from the top floor to the bottom, stu- dents at Brown Bear were found shooting pool, relaxing with friends or dancing to their favorite tunes. Drink specials even brought students in as early as Monday nights. Down a few blocks from the Brown Bear, dance fanatics were found at Coco Loco and The Granada. While Coco Loco offered a unique mix of Latin Salsa and R B, The Granada offered club beats, retro and even live music. Almost every Saturday I am in Coco Loco. I love meringue dancing, said J. R. Mendoza, Topeka senior. Sometimes I even dance in the meringue competitions there. A sea of green and blue neon sticks signaled unofficial dance competitions at The Granada. These dancers who frequent the club used the neon to highlight their intricate, quick moves. I like The Granada because the atmosphere is fun, said Kim Traskowsky, Olathe senior. Watching all different types of people dance is really cool and the music is unique. For a more low-key evening some students frequented Johnny ' s Tavern or even coffee shops. Sometimes I go to Johnny ' s when I want to relax and for- get about everything. said Brandon Adams, Kansas City senior. It ' s also cool to hear live bands play. Going to a movie or popping some movies in the VCR at home was also a form of escape from daily campus stress. I like to go to the movies or rent movies at least during the time my mind is free from piles of books to read and papers to write, said Dave Mazzarese, Kansas City senior. As the dark sky began to give way to the sun again, students drifted off to sleep. Their dreams were filled with visions of their next nighttime excursions. Story by Jana Caffrey Photos by Jamie Roper Students found that dancing at The Granada was a great stress-reliever after a tough week of classes. z I I I I I I KU students learned as much from life as they did in the classroom while away from Lawrence. Top: Nick Probst, Des Moines senior, spent the summer studying in Eutin, Germany. Traveling by train was the quickest and easiest way to get around Europe. Bottom: Probst posed by a piece of the Berlin Wall that had been covered with art. T I; DIB b learned 3m life as the while away It was just another Monday morning for Mike Gekas, St.Charles, 111., senior. The alarm went off, he brushed his teeth and gulped down juice on his way out the door. But then, the regular morning routine began to differ from what other University of Kansas students experienced. He hopped on his red woman ' s bicycle (loaned to him by Danish Aunt Goule) with the handy basket strapped to the front to catch his train to Copenhagen on time. Mondays were actually one of the best days of the week. For Gekas, living and studying in Denmark gave him a reason to want to get out of bed. The first day of the week was set up for excur- sions to see Danish architecture, museums and landmarks. The whole program tried to get students out with Monday field trips and sketch classes on Wednesdays in the city, he said. I ' ve seen every major museum in Copenhagen and one of them I ' ve seen five times. Gekas chose the Scandanavian landscape because it was a region he didn ' t know much about and was pleased with the tight-knit culture of only five million people. There is no high crime except for theft. No guns or murder like I hear in the first five minutes of the Chicago news, said Gekas. Gekas opted to live with a Danish- and English-speaking family to further immerse himself in that culture, while having only a week-long crash course in the Danish language. At the end of the trip he was not fluent but said he could read signs and get the gist of what he needed to know. However, the more he learned about life from simply being in that environment, the less he wanted to go to class. I didn ' t work as hard as I usually do because in Kansas, there is no time limit to see things, he said. In Copenhagen, it ' s hard to stay in studio when I could go to Sweden for the weekend. If I had the chance to take a trip to Prague, I ' d go. I told myself that I was in Europe and that I should experience as much as I could. Gekas went to Sweden and the Czech Republic and also Russia, Estonia, Switzerland, France, Italy and Greece. Nick Probst, Des Moines, Iowa, senior in vocal performance, made a similar rounding of European countries in the summer. He attended a language institute in Eutin, Germany, after only four months of foreign language experience. Like Gekas, Probst asked to stay with a German family and was placed with a single, older woman who didn ' t speak English. He attended field trips to cultural events, museums and castles. He also researched the life and works of Beethoven and presented it in a five-minute speech in German. Most of Probst ' s learning took place outside of the classroom where he learned more than grammar. One of his favorite experiences was when he took a solo trip to Lindau, Germany. I went to the train station and started scanning the board to figure out where I wanted to go, he said. It was the most freeing feeling to not have any plans. I knew I ' d be alone and I ' d have to work harder. Both Gekas and Probst tried to break out of the American mindset and experience the world outside of U.S. borders. Once back on Kansas ground, they were already planning their next trips. I will always want to go abroad, Probst said. It ' s part of who I am.

Brennan, St. Louis senior, and Andy Wagner, Fruitland, Mo., senior, enjoyed the view of the Alps in Story by Andrea Darr Contributed photos free your mind Campus provided several outlets for a plethora of opinions. The University of Kansas ' campus was literally a forum for free speech. Students exercising their first amendment rights used the sidewalks to scrib- ble their thoughts on, or they called the University Daily Kansan ' s Free For All line. Free speech outlets were plentiful. Kansan editors decided to add Free For All to provide an anonymous forum for students to voice their opinions. Students called in and left a 20-second message on any subject, and selected comments were published on the Kansan ' s opinion page. Students welcomed the column, and it became one of the most-read features of the paper. Jacob Eubanks, Topeka sophomore, was one of many fans of the column. I enjoy reading it every day, he said. It ' s the only thing 1 read in the paper. It ' s really funny. One of Eubanks ' favorite quotes was: So many freshman girls, so little time. Chris Claus, Kansas City sophomore, said he thought the idea for the column was a gre at idea. It lets people get their opinions out, he said. Matt Leeper, Topeka sophomore, agreed with Claus. It ' s a great thing that students can voice their opinion, he said. It ' s OK for stu- dents to berate things. Isn ' t that what the first amendment freedom of speech is for? Chalk messages pervade campus as well. People use the sidewalks to announce campus and local events, promote Web sites or wish their friends a happy birthday. It made my friend ' s day when I wrote ' Happy Birthday ' at all the entrances of Stauffer-Flint, said Jana Caffrey, Liberty, Mo., senior. I could tell she was a little bit embarrassed, but I knew she was glad I did it. Students messages weren ' t always as accepted. On Oct. 10, Queers Allies mem- bers wrote messages about Coming Out Day in front of the Kansas Union. The next morning, Facilities Operations employees found some profane messages, such as It ' s a lot sweeter when both have a peter, and they erased them. Though free speech fueled controversy, KU students appreciated a campus envi- ronment that allowed them to voice their opinions. As Willie McDowell, Topeka freshman, put it, Mmm, free for all. Now that ' s a good idea! Story by Jodi Danziger Photos by Trent Guyer Clockwise from left: Colorful words sprinkled the campus as stu- dents exercised their free speech rights with chalk messages. Bulletin boards across campus provided an outlet for free expression. Campus was literally an easel for students to voice their opinions on important issues such as discrimination. Uncommon Labor ob hunting was a stressful time for most University of Kansas students. They had their bills to pay, clothes to buy, books to accumulate. Some settled for the everyday jobs of grocery store clerk, waitress or cloth- ing retailer. But there were a handful of students that ventured into the unusual. Students looked for the strange and unusual tasks on campus and off. Some students brought along the jobs that they were already used to before college. Becky Young, Atchison freshman, followed in her moth- er and sister ' s footsteps - as a clown. Young had performed as a clown since she was seventeen and charged $50 to $100 dollars an hour for some clown entertainment. I perform once or twice a month; that ' s pretty good for clowning, Young said. Twisting balloons, juggling and just clowning around were in her repertoire, yet she was not the con- ventional clown. Young wore blue face paint, instead of the traditional white, and a long curly rainbow col- ored wig. Summer Clown Camp was on Young ' s schedule over the summer where she was the youngest clown. We learned how to put our make-up on better, juggle, twist balloons - it was a lot of fun, Young said. Although Young said that she would not mind being a clown forever, it was not her primary source of income. It can be so draining, Young said. Hannah Bergstrom, Loveland, Colo., junior, encountered her share of Lawrence celebrities at Alvamar Country Club, where she was the beverage cart girl. Bergstrom had former University of Kansas basketball player Jacque Vaughn tell her that she was unlucky. He was having a bad game and jokingly blamed it on me, Bergstrom said. During the summer and into the fall, if the weather permitted, Bergstrom drove the cart filled with beer, All-Sport, water and other beverages around the golf course. Not only had she catered to Vaughn, she had served the likes of Roy Williams, Terry Allen, Scot Pollard, Danny Manning and state Senator Sandy Praeger. The job got hot, but she said it was worth it. I talk to some of these guys a lot now, Bergstrom said. There were also some unique on-campus jobs that allowed students to learn while they worked. Alex Schippers, Hoxie sophomore, worked for the Services for Students with Disabilities on campus. She had many responsibilities, but recording novels and class readings on audio tape for the blind and learning dis- abled was the main responsibility. She had deadlines for when the tapes had to be turned in, but for the most part, she could pick her own hours. I can work anywhere from five to twenty hours per week, she said. She did run into some problems though. I had to read a novel with a lot of Spanish in it, Schippers said. I have no background in Spanish. She ran into the same problem with a book that contained Japanese. To alleviate the problem, Schippers had to look up the pronunciations of each word and try to pronounce them on the tape. According to Schippers, there are some pros and cons to the job. I get to work at home, Schippers said. But it ' s hard to sit down and read someone else ' s book when I have my own reading to do.

This unusual job earned her 50 to $100 an hour. 864-3506 here could a student find a professor ' s office hours, the number of trees that were on cam- pus and how many dimples were on a golf ball without leaving the house? The University of Kansas Information Center at 864-3506 was the place to find the answers to these questions and hundreds more. More commonly known as KU Info, the information service center started in 1970 as a rumor control center for campus. Over time, students wanted to find out more than just ques- tions about the University of Kansas. KU Info became technologically advanced and used Internet newspaper articles and a system called Rolodex. We used it one time on a scavenger hunt to see who donated the 43rd bell in the Campanile, said Sherry Hoover, Parkville, Mo., sophomore. Jessica Zahn, Wamego junior, began working for KU Info and found her job to be anything but boring. I get general off-the-wall things, but they usually all related to sex somehow, Zahn said. I ' ve had people ask how long a pig ' s orgasm is or how long a kangaroo ' s orgasm is. When you type that on the Internet, you pull up some weird Web sites! Students trusted KU Info employees especially for information on classes. I called them for lab times and schedules, said Vincent Piraneo, Leavenworth sophomore. It seems like they know pretty much everything. Not only could one get information from KU Info over the phone, but they also had a Web site on the KU homepage. The site contained information about the University, cities in Kansas, the state of Kansas, the stock market, food, drinks and much more. 1 have friends that have graduated, moved to Chicago and they still call KU Info. said Jeff Potter, St. Louis senior.. By the way, your professor ' s office hours are Tuesdays from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m., fall break doesn ' t start until 2001, there are 17,851 trees on campus and 366 dimples on a golf ball.

Real-World Training ometimes the best preparation for a career is through an internship, and University of Kansas students often chose to spend their semester, summer, winter or spring break at an internship. Every fall, the search for summer internships began- just weeks after the semester kicked off. Students painstakingly put together or updated a resume, carefully proofreading it. They signed up for interviews, shopped for business clothes and studied up on potential employers. Chris Stoppel, Washington senior, was an accounting intern at Koch Industries in Wichita last summer. He researched pipeline freight rates, confirmed they were being paid for and updated the financial models. Stoppel said internships were a great way to meet other people. Koch Industries has 15 students from Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma as summer interns. Stoppel said he kept in touch with several of his fel- low interns even after the summer ended. I think it helps you realize what ' s actually out there, and what you might actually like to do, Stoppel said. With Koch, I found something I like to do that I didn ' t think I ' d be interested in doing. It helped me decide on a career and what I will look for in my first job. He learned about the company at a campus career fair during the fall and signed up for an interview through the business career center. A few weeks after his interview, the company offered Stoppel an internship. Not all internships were awarded so quickly. Some companies accepted applications until the first of the year and did not decide who received the internships until the first of the year. Other companies accept- ed and notified recipients in the spring. Mindie Miller, Lawrence graduate student, completed a two-week, for-credit reporting internship at the Lawrence Journal-World during winter break of 1999. Her editors liked what they saw and offered her a summer internship. Miller said she gained confidence and valuable experience from her internship. She wrote at least one, if not two, stories a day as a full-time reporter. Even though she had been a reporter and campus editor for the University Daily Kansan, her internship gave her a different perspective. It was good real-world experience to be in another newsroom other than the Kansan Miller said. It ' s just nice to see what it ' s like at a professional operation, and it ' s also nice to talk to veteran reporters who have been on the job for awhile.

Queers and Allies embraced, accepted students ' sexuality. Gay, Lesbian, bisexual and transgendered students at the University of Kansas could find support and friendship through KU Queers and Allies. The organization was active in educating the campus and the Lawrence community. The group had information booths for National Coming Out Day in October, helped with World AIDS Day in December and organized Gay Pride week in the spring. Perhaps the most popular event of the celebrations was the drag show which took place outside the Kansas Union. It traditionally attracted cheering crowds. Members also shared their coming out stories and encounters with prejudice with students and community members through Speakers ' Bureau. People could ask questions, and sometimes the questions showed the stereotypes that still existed. Andy Anderson, director of the group and Lawrence junior said, People still have these weird ideas about what it means to be gay. People tend to think that gay men are about sex and les- bians are about cuddling and togetherness. Jeremy Wolff, Derby junior, agreed. There ' s a lot of stuff the general population doesn ' t know, he said. People just don ' t have any experience with the queer community. There ' s a lot of stereotypes because they don ' t know any differently. The group did more than educate, though; it also served as a support system for those exploring their sexuality and those who were gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgendered. KU Queers and Allies had weekly support groups and offered weekly peer coun- seling. Wolff came out about two years ago. He said it was easier than he thought but said there were some problems. When I came out, I didn ' t have any gay friends, he said. I didn ' t have anyone to talk to. Sean Rigby transferred to the University from Cowley Community College and found the environment different. While he didn ' t encounter problems at his former school, Rigby also did- n ' t find others he could relate with. The community college did- n ' t have an organization for Queer students. No one else on campus was out. I was the only gay student at Cowley, he said. other ' s Students took time from their hectic schedules to catch up with friends at Teller ' s family night. Story by Warisa Chulindra Photos by Jamie Roper . us vows Falling In love and getting married happened easily for one couple. For some University of Kansas students, their college years included playing the field and finding that special someone to spend the rest of their lives with. High school sweethearts Ben and Erin McDaniel never played the field because they found each other before coming to the University. They were married after their first year here and will celebrate their second anniversary this summer. Ben had asked Erin to marry him four months after they started dating they were 16. It was like we were both daydreaming, Erin said. Ben decided when we were in high school that we would eventually get married, and he convinced me. The reaction varied when people learned that Ben, 22 and a Newton senior, and Erin, 2 1 and Newton junior, are married. When I was engaged, people would seem really excited. They ' d say, ' Let me see your ring, ' Erin said. But it seemed like when I got married it wasn ' t as cool. Some people, especially girls, will say, ' That ' s so cute. ' What I don ' t like is when people give me a look and ask me, ' How old are you? ' Erin said getting married was all she wanted, as opposed to the flirting and dating that goes with college. They want to have wild, crazy college years, she said. That didn ' t really appeal to me. I ' m a very settled person. I like having my quiet lifestyle. Spending time together sometimes could be a challenge even though they were married. Ben said, You have to prioritize time when you ' re married. It ' s easy to think you ' re doing something together when you ' re just sitting in the same room doing homework. The couple called Stouffer Place home. They had more expenses since they ' d been married so they didn ' t go out as much. Instead, they spent their nights at home watching television and playing Scrabble. Being a married college student didn ' t take much adjustment. It ' s not much different from the average student who lives in an apartment, Erin said. 1 just have a roommate who I have a special relationship with.

Vegetarianism was a lifestyle among University of Kansas students. The trend had grown for several reasons, including health. A vegetarian diet can be as good, or better, than the traditional American diet, said Mary Hise, nutritionist at the University. Hise said the benefit of this diet included improved health from decreased fat intake and higher levels of fiber. Vanessa Stucky, Newton senior, chose vegetarianism for several reasons. Cruelty toward animals and the gross feeling she had when eating meat made the list. She said the strongest influence was her first roommate at the University, also a vege- tarian. Stucky looked at the health benefits of a lacto-ovo vegetarian diet and saw that healthy eating, without eating meat, was the best decision to make. Kendall Irwin, Russell sophomore, chose the meatless option for a different reason. When my grandpa had a heart attack, my whole family sort of went that way, Irwin said. Eating red meat, espe- cially, hurt the heart. Although a vegetarian diet has posi- tive aspects, Hise warned of the risks of vegetarianism. Most risks come from the lack of certain vitamins and nutrients that a diet with meat provided.

Stucky used supplements on a regular basis, but Irwin wanted to do things the natural way and refrained from supplement use. Lawrence had many options for those who chose a vegetarian lifestyle. Stucky and Irwin both agreed that sal- ads and soups constituted the bulk of their diet, and eating in a restaurant was not a big problem. There ' s usually three or four vegetar- ian things, Stucky said. When grocery shopping, Stucky pre- ferred natural and health foods. Hy-Vee and Dillons had small sections devoted to natural foods, but the Community Mercantile Co-Op, known as the Merc, supplied vegetarians with more options. The Merc strove to provide healthy food for people and provide education on how to prepare it, said Nancy O ' Connor, nutrition educator and marketing coordi- nator for the Merc. The Merc served anyone with a wide variety of natural and organic food options. O ' Connor said that employees were trained in food preparation and the store frequently offered classes in the community instructing individuals on the health benefits and preparation methods or organic and natural foods. I was concerned with what went into my body, Irwin said. That ' s why I became a vegetarian.

Eyes on the Prize just as students started getting comfortable with life at college, senior year brought will it the reality of leaving school and finding a job. Career Centers across campus helped students find connections with local and national employers. Several schools on campus offered on-line career services that allowed students to learn about available jobs and interview opportunities. I really liked being able to see all of the job and interview opportunities day-by- day through the Internet, said Joy Bennefeld, Olathe senior. I could look for a job at any time of the day and research on jobs that seemed interesting. The Career Services also informed students of career fairs. The Business Career Fair featured 105 companies and attracted about 1,000 students. It targeted graduating seniors and students looking for internships. The Business Career Fair creates an awesome opportunity for students and employers to meet, interact and connect, said Lisa Leroux-Smith, Director of Program Coordination for the School of Business. Most students were grateful for the opportunity to meet employers without hav- ing to leave campus. I went to the Business Career Fair because I thought it would be a great oppor- tunity for me to learn about local employers in the business field, said Sharon Majerle, Olathe senior. I got a great interview opportunity through connections I made at the fair. Because the event included such a large number of companies and attracted such large numbers of students, the day was characterized by some as slightly hectic. I would describe that day as organized chaos, said Thomas Lervik, Jr., Mulvane senior. It ' s great to see companies at KU, not great when it feels like herding cattle. As long as students put forth effort in their future career planning the University ' s career services were there to support them in their endevours.

The Business Career Fair took place in October. Just Relax he University of Kansas prided itself on being diverse, but there was one thing students had in common: stress. Stress was a part of every student ' s life, but most stu- dents found a way to balance school, work and their involvement in organizations and clubs. Kelly Bietka, Leavenworth freshman, balanced fifteen hours of classes and two jobs. Bietka worked fifteen hours a week at Blockbuster and still found time to go to meetings for the Pre-Journalism Club and PRSSA, the public relations club. It ' s budgeted time that helps me study, said Bietka. You ' ve gotta eat, you ' ve gotta sleep, but you ' ve gotta study, too. When she had time, she released stress by going shopping or watching movies with her friends. Though some students dealt with stress by relaxing with friends, others found that going to local bars and parties was the answer. After a hard week of classes, I look forward to going to parties with my friends, said Erin Brower, Overland Park freshman. The weekend is for fun and not worrying about what happened during the week. Stress just didn ' t exist for some students, no matter how busy they were. I ' m an easy-going person, said Kara Warner, Fort Collins, Colo., sophomore. I always feel like everything will work itself out and getting stressed about it will only make it worse. For some students, eliminating stress was as easy as planning for the week ahead. I learned how and when to skip classes, Tanner Norris, Topeka senior said. With my plan you always go to class on Fridays so that you can get extra credit points. No matter what kind of stress students dealt with, they always had the support and sympathy of their peers who were experiencing the same problems. Story by Kim Brower Photos by Brad Dreier Erin Brower, Overland Park freshman, took a time out from the day outside Wescoe Hall. z z z I I I Tutors and mentors were available across campus for students, community to utilize. Tnere is a Writer ' s Roost on the Main Floor of Watson! 7: ' %m- :0 pm ' The Writer ' s Roost assisted students who needed help with paper assignments. The Roost offered loca tions on campus and in the residence halls. Reading with children, helping international students brush up on their English, or coaching a fellow class- mate through a difficult math problem were all ways University of Kansas students could act as tutors and mentors. A new program to the University was Mentors in the Lives of Children. Bob McKenney, program coordinator and Clinton. Mo., junior, said the purpose of MILK was to create a meaning- ful relationship between KU students and the community. Volunteers spent an hour and a half a week at the Boys and Girls Club or an afterschool program, helping teachers and staff with activities. The best way to get involved with the community is with the children, McKenny said. They ' re still at the age where we ' re a role model, but we ' re still considered cool. Students could also get involved with Students Tutoring for Literacy. While the focus was on reading, the program also helped with math, science and directions. Volunteers could pick from 14 sites ranging from the Adult Learning Center to Daisy Hill to local elementary schools. The program also offered indi- vidual tutoring. Lana Moaveni, program co-coordinator and a Leawood sen- ior, said that the tutoring was about more than helping people understand their assignments. Our big goal is developing relationships with people in the community and on the campus, she said. It gives you a lot of different perspectives. It ' s a chance to venture out of your own comfort zone. Writer ' s Roost was another program that allowed students to help their peers in writing. The peer tutors were trained over a few months and were then able to give feedback on drafts for papers, help in writing resumes and cover letters and any other kinds of writing. Inside the Roost were a study area, computers for printing, emailing and Web exploring. No matter what problem a student may have had in their classes or career planning they had to look no farther than to their peers in campus programs for support. Peer tutoring and mentoring was an effective resource at the University. Story by Warisa Chulindra Photos by Trent Guyer changing faces Schools prepareJnor the future with renovations and new curricula. The Schools of Education, Fine Arts and Journalism made big changes from the inside out. While Education and Fine Arts renovated their edifices, the School of Journalism revamped and updated its curriculum. The Education School moved from Bailey Hall to the completely recon- structed J.R. Pearson building, which formerly served as a Residence Hall. Education students encountering the new building found a student commons area, computer and math labs, computer classrooms and a 100-seat lecture hall. The new building is a lot nicer than Bailey was, said Julie Majerle, Olathe sophomore. Everything here is new, and my classrooms are comfortable in size. Murphy Hall, home of music and fine arts, was rejuvinated with the addition of new rehearsal rooms, instrumental and choral rooms, a blackbox theater and a library. While the outside of the School of Journalism, Stauffer-Flint Hall, appeared unchanged, the classes within had transformed. To accomodate to the evolving world of journalism and business, the curriculum expanded to cover more aspects of the media. The convergence consisted of a multimedia approach. I like being exposed to all of the current media options, said Amanda Woolen, Kansas City, Kan., senior. With the impact of the Internet in the business world right now it ' s helpful for me to understand the whole field. Changes in the curriculum allowed students to take classes outside of their specific emphases. I think it ' s a good system, said Kelly Bietka, Leavenworth freshman. As freshmen we don ' t know and have to decide our major blindly. In Journalism I0l we get to learn all aspects of mass media and chose our major from that. Campus buildings and curriculums evolved in order to make students more prepared for their future careers. Because, as many students liked to temporarily for- get, their was life after college.

Murphy Hall also received a face lift, which included a blackbox theater. 413 z I I I z New garage opened more parking spaces for all who attended the University. Top: The new garage was perfect housing for cars during home football games. Bottom: More than 800 parking spots were available for students and faculty. Aline of blue, white, black and red cars lined the top level of the car garage. A student carefully examined the number assigned to the space that he just parked in. 5091 he thought over and over again as he approached a pay station. Sometimes I repeat the number so much that I forget it by the time I got to a pay station, said Rachel Avant, Wichita senior. The Union Parking garage, located just north of the Kansas Union, was completed before the 2000-200 1 school year. It contained 1 1 spots for faculty, 200 spots for students and 500 spots for $ 1 an hour parking available to anyone. The 200 student spots were determined by a lottery in which certain students got a spot assigned to them. The only students that were not allowed to buy a pass for the Union Garage were residence hall students because the parking garage had already oversold the amout of parking passes for the residence halls. At the beginning of the school year, the spots were not being filled. I know that if I woke up late for class, I could always get a spot there because there were always spots open, said Julie Persons, Lawrence senior. The only bad thing was that it cost me an arm and a leg to park there all day. Vistors and students who did not have a permit to park there had to pay $1 per hour for the spot they parked in. The Parking Department had to increase the cost of parking per hour because it cost them almost $ 1 million a year in order to pay for the $7.6 million bond from the Kansas Development Finance Authority by April 1, 2014. The Parking Department also charged $10 per parking stall for foot- ball game days. They sold 370 spaces for the first home game and 271 for the second. Even with the costs, some students preferred the Union Parking garage over any other student lot. I would rather pay a dollar an hour than go fight the stall-hungry drivers in the other parking lots, Persons said. I love my car too much to put it through that much stress. Story by Amanda Hay Photos by Brad Dreier Some students found that parking in the garage was easier than fighting for spots in the parking lots requiring permits. A Catch on the Net e dotted all of his i ' s and crossed all of his t ' s with perfection. Of course, there was no other way he could have, the computer screen did not allow it any other way. Stacey Love, Overland Park senior, met Steve Kainth, an English artist who lives outside of Manchester, England, on the Internet. It was in a Yahoo! chat room where she knew that there was something special. I talk to a couple of other guys on the Internet. One is from Canada and two from California, Love said. But none of them were like this guy. Because there was a six-hour difference between Love and Kainth, they had to find different means of communication. They talked through e-mails, which Love said she had saved thousands of, and used the telephone whenever their pocketbooks permitted. Calling cards are the key, Love said. Kainth, being an artist, decided that he was going to paint an impression of what he thought she looked like because they had not seen one another. The result was a piece of art that would not only impress Love on its arrival, but also art col- lectors in England offered thousands for it. He had people offering money for the painting, Love said. But he refused to sell it. Because of the painting ' s size, some of the air-mail flights refused to ship it. After a $900 bill for the cost of air mail, Love received it and hung it up in her living room. Kainth received a picture of Love in the process of shipping the painting. Love received vari- ous pictures and had a photo collage on her computer screen. We are both really attracted to each other, but geography keeps us apart, Love said.

Many students found that TLC in the pets they owned traditional and unconven- tional. I have my fish swimming around the base of a large flower vase, said Alex Schippers, Hoxie sophomore. He is my centerpiece. Schippers and her roommate Laura King, Wichita sophomore, chose to have fish because Colony Woods had restrictions on what pets were allowed. I have had a fish since I was little, King said. I just wanted to have one at school as well. Fish seemed to be a popular pick among students. Employees at local pet stores, such as Pet World and Jayhawk Tropical Fish, Inc., said they did a lot of business with students. We sold a lot of small freshwater fish to students, said George Sabel, employee of Jayhawk Tropical Fish, Inc. We occasionally have people request octopus, and we have even sold a few to people who are serious about keeping one. Many apartment complexes did not allow pets, but the restrictions did not stop some students. Loni Symonds, Benton junior, owned pets even though her apartment complex did not allow it. I have two rabbits and two mice, Loni said. Rabbits and mice are quiet, so they are less noticeable. Plus, the rabbits are so furry and the mice are so cute. I just love them. Ryan Bell and Cory Sheedy, Wichita juniors, rented a house instead of an apart- ment, which made it possible to own pets. Both own cats. I ' ve been around cats all my life, so I was happy when my girlfriend gave me a cat for my birthday, Sheedy said. Sheedy and Bell both agreed that cats were easy animals to take care of. As long as you leave them food and a clean box and give them your attention when they want it, cats can pretty much take care of themselves, Bell said. If you have thir- ty minutes to kill, just sit watch the cats be stupid. Teachers as well as students enjoyed the company of pets. Thomas Stidham, assis- tant director of bands, had two dogs, two cats and a rabbit. Not all the animals were orig- inally his. The rabbit and one dog were gifts to my daughter which she left behind when she moved away, Stidham said. One of the cats is a stray that has adopted my wife and I. You could call me a pet person. What I love the most about my pets is getting to come home in the evening and see them and to know that they are happy to see me. Story by Andrew Shaner Photos by Trent Guyer Clockwise from left: These feathery friends were an alternative pet to the average cat or dog. Students also opted for furry fun with rabbits. Curious kittens sometimes found themselves in apart- ments where they weren ' t allowed. I I I Local bands provided students with live music on a nightly basis. Lawrence was recognized for its music scene. Live bands played almost every night somewhere in town. As the cloud of smoke in the bar cleared, the guitarist looked up and saw a stream of people moving with the beat of the song - his song. A rush of adrenaline came over him as he played his last chord and the songstress up front sang her last melody. It was the band ' s home town and the crowd loved their music. Lawrence had many local and mainstream band venues to choose from. Bars such as the Bottleneck, Jazzhaus and the Brownbear Brewing Co., provided outlets for live music. I like it when I hear a lot about the band before I go, especially if they say the band is good, said Andrea Gilligan, Emporia senior. That way, I know that there is going to be a good show. From jazz to grunge, reggae to rock, the bar scene had tried to cater to the different tastes of the students that attended the bars because most of the bars made their money from students. The local music scene in Lawrence is great because it allows for local musicians to share their talents and for students to enjoy good music at a more affordable price than big concerts, said Lindsy Robinson, Chicago junior. Choosing a local band to play at a bar is a cumbersome task for some bar owners. Al Jacobson, manager at the Bottleneck, came up with an easy way to audition bands to play. I ' ve been at the club eleven years and almost every Monday night I come in and watch local bands put on their shows during Open Mic Night, Jacobson said. I take notes during each band and get a contact number. That is how we choose which bands to play on other nights of the week. Open Mic Nights were open to the public so every student could get a taste of the diversity of the music. The Bottleneck, among others, tried to feature a local band at least once a week. However, because the bar scene in Lawrence was a pop- ular venue, regional and national artists also took up time to perform. I really enjoy going to the Bottleneck because it is a cool place to hang out and they have good bands play there, said Dan Moore, Chicago junior. I would much rather hang out in a place with live music than go to a dance club. Moore said that he liked to see such local acts as the Sugadaddies and J.J. Five perform. Made up of seven University of Kansas students, the Sugadaddies were a popular local band among students. They played what they considered to be funk, soul and a tad bit of rock. Branching out from the local band scene, the Sugadaddies traveled to such places as Colorado and Nebraska, and had released two CD ' s. We love playing in Lawrence, said Dash Williamson, drummer. The people in Lawrence are always nice and make a point to get up and dance to our music. The crowd makes our music. Williamson also played in a local band, PBR All-Stars, which played at Pat ' s Blue Rib ' n Barbecue on Sunday nights. The local band scene was also a place for bands from other cities to feature their shows that made them a favorite in their original towns. Bands such as Nineteen Eighty, formerly known as Shaft in Wichita, was trying to make as big of a mark as they left in Wichita. We are playing the same type of music as we played before, but are working on all new material, said Jace Wilbert, lead guitarist. Lawrence is a new type of crowd and we are working on making a name for us here. I hope it all works out. University students were receptive to local bands. They took to the scene and called it their own. It gives something different to Lawrence that most towns don ' t have. Gilligan said. It makes Lawrence unique.

Live Wire U students ' views of their world were literally at their fingertips with access to the Digital Jayhawk, KUJH and the University ' s radio station, KJHK. As media converged at the University, students could find news, information and entertainment, on the radio and online, to enhance their perspectives on life at the University. The Digital Jayhawk acted as an online news resource with direct links to KUJH, the University ' s broadcast television station, and KJHK. Christopher Ryan, former instructor of journalism, came to the University on a two-year appointment to develop the site, which served as a model for media convergence. The student-run site posted digitized KUJH news each night. KUJH headlines, text and video were placed on the site. Broadcast students ' feature projects were displayed on the site as well. The Digital Jayhawk also featured the KJHK Companion, which had links to the music playing on the station. The site also featured My DJ, a personalized site tailored to an individual ' s news and information pref- erences. Students could select their favorite news sources and categories that would appear each time they logged in. Links to other information were available, such as local calendars and class home pages. One could create a second personal page that was set up to find all Internet stories. That way, one wouldn ' t have to go to each site, Ryan said. A journalism student also could refer prospective employers to Digital Jayhawk-linked site that contained all of their clips. Other Digital Jayhawk features included discussion forums, e-cards, an alumni database and the new Apartment Department, on which landlords could list apartments for rent, and students could search for roommates and sublets. Ryan said the site had been received well and that it was unique to the University to the best of his knowledge. This is how we see the news industry progressing, he said. Ryan said that each news organization had its own identity, but resources, such as the Digital Jayhawk, helped those organizations deliver news better and faster. In addition to satisfying the news needs of users, the Digital Jayhawk also was a tool for students to learn how to sell certain types of news to people and how to manage news, television and radio all at once. Ryan, who left the University last year, expressed his connection to the project. It ' s my child, but children have to grow up and walk on their own, he said of the site. Ann Brill, professor of journalism, arrived with online expertise to carry on the Digital Jayhawk with the students. Ryan said he would still be in touch to advise the operation. KJHK touted itself as The Sound Alternative in Lawrence. The innovative station combined hip-hop, punk, ska, bluegrass, jazz, classical, techno and local music into a melting pot of musical beats. Programs included Breakfast for Beat Lovers, Bedlam a Go Go, and Blood and Chocolate. The station ' s music programs were complimented by up-to-date news and sports broadcasts and information. KJ was the first radio station in the world to broadcast continuously over the Internet. The station ' s Web site offered live music a mouse click away. In the age of media convergence, the weather-beaten wooden Kansan bins weren ' t the only place a stu- dent could find news and entertainment on campus.

It was something that some students adopted individually after leaving home and coming to college. Several groups on campus provided guidance on val- and were a forum for religious discussion. A small sample of these organiza- tions included the Catholic Professional Student Society, United Methodist Campus Ministry, Indonesian Christian Fellowship, and Latter-Day Saint Student Association. The Catholic Professional Student Society (CPSS) consisted of students who were preparing to enter the professional world after graduation. Activities included discussion of ethical situations in the workplace, professional speakers and social events. I think that CPSS is beneficial for students because it exposes them to moral and ethical issues that they are likely to see in the real world, Mike Schmitz, Holton junior and member of CPSS said. They have the opportunity to develop a value system consistent with their religious beliefs that will guide them through the difficult situations they will encounter in the workplace. United Methodist Campus Ministry (UMCM) had a main goal to unite students, faculty, and staff of the University, and people in the Lawrence community in Christian fel- lowship. UMCM ' s activities ranged from bible studies and service projects, to more spe- cific activities such as Radical Christians, a bible study for people with non-traditional beliefs about their religion and the Bible. We want to share the love of God to all people through acts of kindness and serv- ice, Andrea Slagle, Ness City senior and student associate for UMCM said. The Indonesian Christian Fellowship (ICF) was an organization focused on peo- ple of Indonesia. The mission of ICF was to prepare and equip every member to be a whole Christian and to integrate knowledge and faith in family, church and community. We have an activity every Saturday evening at the Free Methodist Church, Erlinda Tjhai, a senior from Indonesia and overseer of ICF said. We watch videos about Indonesia and the Christian faith, invite speakers, study the bible, and have picnics and camp-outs. The main purpose of the Latter-Day Saint Student Association (LDSSA) was to help students draw closer to Jesus Christ through scripture study, prayer, Sunday services and gospel classes. Members also participated in socials, dances and service projects. Every member of LDSSA should strive to achieve a personal relationship with God, Matt Garrett, Olathe junior and president of LDSSA said. Our desires to be better people and to know more concerning God ' s plan for us are greatly strengthened. We also manage to have a good time!

' rtainment Miotearts- The Lied Center, the imposing structure on West Campus, was the heart of arts at The University of Kansas and in Lawrence. Promoting music, dance and theater was a goal that reached beyond the boundaries of campus and into the community. Mainly a presenting house, the Lied center worked with touring companies across the nation and provided venues for national and local shows. The center ' s eighth season included musicals, such as Anything Goes, Man of La Mancha and renowned composer Philip Glass ' Dracula: The Music and Film; and musical performances, such as the Berlin Chamber Orchestra, the Girls Choir of Harlem, the Indigo Girls and Chicago. In addition, plays, such as Waiting for Godot, were per- formed. The center also presented several of the University ' s guest speakers. Julian Bond spoke about the evolution of rock ' n ' roll. Tim Jansen, Overland Park senior, attended Anything Goes and said the musical ' s quality was very good for an off-Broadway touring pro- duction. I was surprised at how great it was, he said. They were really good, and the dancing was excellent. It was a fun time. Jansen said that he would attend Lied Center events in the future and that it was a good alternative form of entertainment. Students weren ' t the only audience the center catered to. The Lied Center was involved in the arts in the community as well. It played an active role in promoting arts-in-education with Lawrence public schools. In addition, families who attended the Family Series presenta- tions were allowed to participate in the performance, which encouraged parents and children learning together. Behind-the-stage options were available, too, for those who wanted to pursue them. The center invited eager volunteers to take on behind- the-scenes tasks. Throughout the season, the Lied Center touched the lives of patrons, children, families and communities.

Mental determination brought the salvation of the cool-down. A complete workout was tolling, but the rewards were bountiful. Each week, hundred of students went to fitness centers in an attempt to keep their bod- ies in shape. With several of these centers in town, students were able to choose a workout environment suitable to their tastes. Lawrence Athletic Club (LAC) had a membership of about 4,000 to 5,000 people. They offered specialized workout classes, personal training and a wide array of exercise equipment. Our club is very clean, and the equipment we have to offer is brand new, Blair Barr, sales representative said. We also have day care so busy parents can work out and still have their children nearby. Exercise routines for many students were based on strict regimes. For students balanc- ing classes, activities and jobs, exercise time needed to be planned and scheduled. Monica Hahn, Memphis, Term., senior, said she belonged to Sixth Street Fitness, and she went five to six times a week. I take step aerobics, yoga and cardio classes there pretty often, she said. I also use the free weights and cardio equipment. Building muscles was the main goal for some students. I go to LAC to lift weights, Chris Davenport, Salina junior said . I have belonged there for two years. I like it because it ' s designed to work out. There ' s none of that fluff that comes with some other clubs. Body Boutique, a fitness center solely for women, offered comfort for women who did not like working out in a coed situation. Amber Anda, fitness instructor and consultant, said class sizes ranged from three to 25 girls. Our most popular classes are step aerobics, kickboxing and yoga, Anda said. The environment is comfortable because the class sizes are small.

A new Internet system, called Blackboard, was implemented this school year to improve learning and teaching. The system was started to enhance communications between teachers and students, and students and peers. Features of the system allowed users to check their grades, review announcements by the instructor, read updated syllabi, administer quizzes, print study guides and become aware of links that per- tain to that course all on a virtual discussion board. Although the system was new in 2000, students caught on pretty quickly to all of its details and found it helpful. I use it often to check new announcements from my instructors, assignments and to take quizzes, Julia Wagman, Houston, Texas, senior said. I like it because I can keep in touch with my professor and other people in class. 1 think it ' s a really good idea and all classes should do it. Implimentation of the Blackboard system is a process that took several months and involved the work of several people. The University had formally been using a program called Web Course in a Box, but that program was difficult to use, inflexible and had few important features. With two committees to assist with this project, we examined several course management soft- ware and discovered Blackboard, Susan Zvacek, Director of Instructional Development and Support said. It has been installed at hundreds of universities and community colleges worldwide. Blackboard was a program available for use by all instructors and students. The program was made to transform the role of the instructor to more of a coach, mentor or guide. Students could talk to teachers regarding the class discussion after class if the student did not feel comfortable speaking in class. Many students enjoyed being able to keep in touch with fellow classmates on the system if they missed a class or meeting. In two of my classes we have on-going group projects so I usually use the Blackboard to keep in touch with them, Troy Karlin, Lawrence senior said. It ' s good to post ideas, get feedback from the group and the instructor and to keep in touch if one of us misses class. The system helps students improve communication, team and computer skills as a supplement to what is learned in courses. On the Blackboard, students can begin or continue class discussions and have time to think about their contributions to the conversation and reflect on what others say, Zvacek said. Being able to really think about the topic of discussion is something that a face-to-face class session cannot provide.

A relief for students who had little money leftover after a month of bills and rent. Student Union Activities (SUA) planned diligently to bring enter- tainment and educational activities to the University of Kansas, charging little or no money. Twelve board members and eight coordinators of SUA planned events that includ- ed forums, feature films, spectrum films, public relations, fine arts, recreation and live music. Live music, guest lecturers and early movie screenings were the most popular events. Jenny Weaver, Topeka senior, said she ' d been to see movies there several times. Having free movies is a really good thing, and I always see people I know there, she said. Another feature I like is that, after the viewing, they often show facts about the actors that you would not normally see in a movie theater. This year, students could buy an SUA movie card for $35.00 and see up to 60 cur- rent and classic films. Some movies on the menu for showing were Mission Impossible II, The Patriot and Godfather I, II, III. Looking for something out of the ordinary often brought students to SUA events. Some attended the events to have a good time and others went to learn from speakers and performances. Last spring I went to see this couple that had been on 20 20 and they said they were ghost hunters, Jessie Pointer, Pleasanton junior said. The wife had special powers and could sense the presence of ghosts. It was really interesting, there were a lot of people there and I think it was free. It was one of the goals of SUA to provide activities that attracted different types of students and adults of Lawrence. In November, Yaron Svoray, an ex-Israeli commando and author of In Hitler ' s Shadow spoke of his infiltration of the Neo-Nazi movement at a free SUA event. We are here to present a diverse schedule of educational, recreational and multi- cultural activities, Liz Schneider, Wakine junior and President of SUA said . We also try to involve the Lawrence community through co-sponsorships and publicity, and we wel- come the citizens of Lawrence to all SUA events. A part of the organization also planned an arts and crafts bazaar, art contests and performing arts shows. This gave students the chance to be exposed to different types of art work and activities that they would normally not find in Lawrence.

Guides for the Future Iking backward without falling was a talent very few people had. Walking backward while speaking to groups of about 15 people and making a good impression at the same time was a quality that was even more rare. At the University of Kansas approximately 80 people possessed that talent. These people were KU Student Ambassadors. An elite group of students were chosen to give campus tours to prospective students and their families. Often, the first impression high school students got of the University came from these student ambassa- dors. Between 60 and 65 percent of new students made their decision based on the tour. Student contact was rated the number one factor in deciding which university to attend. Each student ambassador went through a half-semester training session in order to learn everything there was to know about the University, its students, campus and history. Did you know that if you kissed your significant other under the campanile you were destined to marry? Did you know Budig Hall was built in 1927 to house Dr. Naismith ' s Game and students could only purchase tickets for even numbered games or odd numbered games? Did you know Professor Bailey developed the Rock Chalk Chant? Did you know the statue in front of Lippencott Hall depicted an engi- neering and law student shaking hands in order to end their long-time rivalry? Did you know that helium was discovered in Bailey Hall? These are all questions that KU Student Ambassadors could answer. Being a student ambassador was a volunteer position that required students to give tours when they were available, work one hour in the office per week and give five special tours in a semester. Most student ambassadors were involved in many activities on campus, but they still found time to help recruit new stu- dents. Part of my job as an ambassador is to tell prospective students about KU and also about my experi- ence here, said Monica White. Tulsa sophomore. I have had a wonderful experience at KU so far, and I love telling people about it. 1 get such a rush when I finish a tour and the high school students are so excit- ed about coming to KU.

I I U From spiders to sex, students had the chance to take out-of- the ordinary classes. Top: Long enrollment lines included a mass of students rushing to sign up for classes such as Dennis Dailey ' s popular Human Sexuality class. Bottom: A student concentrated on firing her metalsmithing project. F j JIKIKS.BW lerstosex, iad the takeout-of- tfy classes, Jennifer Vorgin sat in one the 500-person Budig lecture halls as 20- foot penises were being projected on two of the three big screens in the room. I learned that the length of a man ' s erect penis is nine inches instead of six,,, said Vorgin, Kansas City, Kan., senior. I didn ' t know that.,, Vorign was among hundreds of other University of Kansas stu- dents who had taken Dennis Daily ' s Human Sexuality class. The sex class was the most popular class on campus and all 500 seats were usu- ally filled in the first couple of enrollment days. I learned some crazy stuff that you can ' t learn anywhere else unless you go buy some crazy sex books,,, Vorgin said. Although Dailey ' s class was the most popular, the University offered many other classes that covered subjects ranging from spiders to witches, guns to scuba diving. Bill Parker, Lawrence junior, chose to take advanced scuba diving to get his deep diver and rescue diver certification. Parker already had recreation scuba diving certification, but he wanted to go deeper than 60 feet. It ' s kinda like jumping out of an airplane,,, Parker said. When you go deeper, it is not something that everyone does, which is exciting.,, Debra Graber, interim associate director of University Relations, had gone to many classes offered at the University over the years. She had been to classes such as Biology 509: The Biology of Spiders where live specimen coexisted with the students. Jeff Studebaker, Lenexa senior, said he took the class because he was afraid of spiders. After being in the class, I ' ve learned that there ' s nothing to be afraid of,,, Studebaker said. A requirement of the class was to keep and observe a spider at home. Studebaker caught a wolf spider, which he learned was not harm- ful to humans. A basic firearms class was offered in which students got the chance to learn more about different guns, the safety of guns and how to shoot various firearms. Melissa Peacock, Newark, Calif, senior, took the class to learn more about guns. I actually had never seen a gun in real life,,, Peacock said. When I got to fire some of the guns, the recoil was something unex- pected.,, The class not only met in a classroom in Robinson Center, but it also met at the Shooting Range in the basement of the Community Building at 1 1th and Vermont streets. Vorgin said extraordinary classes were essential to the learn- ing experiece. Sex class was just one of those infamous classes,,, Vorgin said. When you are at KU you should take it.,, Story by Mindy Sigle Photos by Tracee Anderson Students examined a slide in a science course. up for classes lasses such as i i i i i Movies proved to be an entertainment or an obsession to some students.

Or the time when Johnny walked up to Baby ' s par- nts and said, Nobody puts Baby in a corner ? These are just a ew scenes in memorable movies that movie lovers could recite by icart. My favorite scene is, as goofy as it sounds, from the movie Toy itoiy when Buzz Lightyear goes to fly for the first time, said Brian homas. Piano, Texas, freshman. Thomas had a growing collection of DVD ' s, most of which were .ction movies. He did have other interests, such as movies that Kevin mith directed. Mallrats is my favorite, said Thomas. I still need Clerks, but it osts $40. and I have to buy food. Thomas also went online to experiment with the independent ' ilms that could be downloaded. Thomas had been a fan of independ- nt films since his friends had made a few. He was also a big fan of the movie theaters, going at least once or ice a week. Ever since I can remember, I went to movies, said Thomas. There were many places students could rent movies, from Indie ult classics at Liberty Hall to new releases at Blockbuster. Mario Bonilla, shift supervisor at Blockbuster on west 6th street, was often asked to recommend movies to customers. I saw this one movie that was really strange. It was a bad horror film with a scene when a guy has sex with a mannequin. I couldn ' t believe that I was watching it, but I just had to finish it. When a couple asked me for a strange movie, I recommended that one and got very mixed reactions from them, he said. Bonilla said that often the one copy of the movie Waiting for Guthman was almost always checked out. The strangest thing that someone did for a movie? Bonilla said that it was an incident he did not want to get involved in. A girl and two guys came in and they wanted to know if we had an ' adult room ' , he said. Then she flashed one of our male workers for a free movie. I think that he gave it to her.

At night, campus had a differ- ent atmosphere it was almost a dark, desolate place where few students filled the sidewalks. I hate going to the library at night,,, said Kelly Hood, Overland Park senior. I always have to park where there is no light, and I never know who is hiding in the bushes ready to jump out at me.,, Although the University had 23 emergency phones (blue phones) along campus streets and 33 blue phones inside each building, some students still did not feel safe at night. I want to be able to go to the library without being afraid,,, Hood said. I think they need to do some- thing about the lighting on campus.,, Troy Mailen, public safety officer for the University, said that there had been a 45 percent decrease in burglaries and theft in the past two years. Some of that decrease was attributed to the increased participa- tion from the administration. They had been promoting a safe campus by funding for more safety programs and supported educational programs to prevent crime and promote safety on campus. Freshmen were an important group to target, Mailen said, because residence halls were prone to crime. Freshmen were required to attend the Smart Choices program during enrollment, which was designed to inform incoming students about safety, security and health issues. They also were given some guidelines on how to keep safe while staying in a residence hall. Some of the guidelines included always locking your door and never leaving your backpack unattended because books were a hot commodity during finals time. Pamela Pulliam, Clearwater freshman, said that she sometimes did not feel the need to lock her door in her 10th floor Ellsworth room. Everyone knows everyone else on that floor,,, Pulliam said. Plus I don ' t keep anything of value in my dorm room, like my diamonds or my stuff that my grandpa made.,, The only time that Pulliam felt unsafe on Daisy Hill was when she came home late at night and could not find a close parking space. When I can ' t find a space, I usually park my car right out front at one of the meters and then ran upstairs and forced a couple of my guy friends to park my car with me so they could walk me back to the dorm,,, Pulliam said. Story by Courtney Craigmile Photo by Todd Barrett Safe Thinking The University Public Safety Office issued some guidelines to ensure safety of students and faculty while they were on campus. Don ' t leave belongings unattended in public places Always lock the door to your room or apartment every time you leave Travel in pairs or groups and always walk in well-lit areas Have your room or car keys in your hand when approaching your room or car Check your car before you get in to be sure no one is hiding inside Be alert and keep looking around when using ATMs and pay phones Carry your purse or backpack close to your body and grip it tight If you are mugged, give your attacker what they want and walk away :mergency phones were located across campus for nighttime afety. ( Honey matters Students livferlfrugally when cash is low and expenses are high. College expenses went beyond tuition and books. Students needed money for rent, food and other living expenses, not to mention those dreaded credit card bills. And everyone needed some cash for a night on the town once in a while. Palvih Bhana, Lawrence senior, had worked part-time since coming to the University of Kansas, but during her fall semester, she decided to take a break because she was getting burned out. She wanted to focus on school and extracurricular activities. Aside from being active at her scholarship hall, Margaret Amini, Bhana also served as president of the Student Alumni Association. It was her first semester without a job, and Bhana could feel the toll in her pock- ets despite saving money from a full-time summer job. My parents and friends always say, ' Enjoy it now because you ' ll be working the rest of your life,,, she said. But it ' s hard being a college student because you have a lot of expenses.,, These expenses were for classes, credit card, phone bills and organization fees. If she wanted to have dinner or go out with friends, that also required cash. Bhana sometimes borrowed money from family and friends or dipped into her saving account when she over- spent her weekly budget. Like some students, Bhana considered quick solutions for cash, such as donating plasma. I decided against that, though, because sometimes it doesn ' t have a good effect on people,,, Bhana said. If I get faint giving blood, giving plasma is probably worse.,, But there were other ways to cut corners: shopping at thrift stores, clipping coupons and picking up supplies from mom or dad. Amanda Tyson, Melvern senior, juggled a social welfare praticum, classes and a 25-hour-a-week job. Even though she had scholarships and loans, working was necessary not only to pay for rent, food and bills but also for the care of her two cats, car payments and car insurance. She bought cheap food and sometimes loaded up on groceries at her grandmoth- er ' s or parents ' homes. When things get really tight, I use my credit card,,, Tyson said. The beginning of the semester is the only good time because of my scholarship money. It ' s the only time I use money wastefully.,, Story by Warisa Chulindra Photos by Todd Barrett U2 Money matters ruled students ' lives, even on campus. The Union housed ATMs for Commerce Bank, Capitol Federal and First Star. Commerce Bank also had a branch in the Kansas Union as well as another ATMatWescoe Hall. u z (J Students found art to be a relaxing and therapeutic form of self-expression. Top: Lacey Croco, Lisle, III., sophomore, studied her paint selection before applying the glaze to her ceramic piece at Sun Fire Ceramics. Bottom: Jasmin Smith, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore, dried a portion of her bowl. Lacey McLain, Overland Park senior, crafted a ceramic snowman for her mother. With strokes of brilliant color or a few cherished knick-knacks, anyone could create a personalized piece of art. Art activities provided an outlet for self-expression. From painting to scrapbooking, students found creativity to be a unique pastime and a great stress-reliever. Cecily Curran, Tulsa, Okla., senior, said she had been doing Modge Podge since she was in high school. Modge Podge is a glaze that mounts objects onto surfaces. She said she liked making picture frames for her- self and her friends by putting her favorite objects and stickers on them similar to a collage. I really like to make stuff with Modge Podge when I have free time,,, she said. It ' s fun and it ' s an expression of myself.,, Stephanie Holman, Bernardsville, N.J., senior, said that art was her creative outlet, too, and she did it when she went home for the day. Holman studied abroad in Great Britain, where she got the idea to paint a canvas with the British flag. She incorporated scraps from British magazines and post cards. Holman also created picture frames with beer caps. She said she used her talent to create gifts for her fami- ly members. In downtown Lawrence, Sun Fire Ceramics allowed customers to design and paint pre-made ceramic pieces. At our store, you can choose from several different ceramic pieces and begin designing your piece with stencils, ideas from books or sim- ply painting freely,,, owner Cheryl Roth said. Sun Fire had 25 colors of glazes to choose from, and once the art work was finished, it was fired. The customer could pick it up three to five days later. At that point, all pieces were dishwasher and microwave safe, she said. Students found this store to be a fun alternative when they had free time and an opportunity for gift giving. Sun Fire was especially busy during the holidays. I painted a snowman candle holder for my mom there,,, Lacey McLain, Overland Park senior said. Painting was really fun, and it seemed to release some stress after a busy week.,, Story by Jana Caffrey Photos by Alison Swindler ' Sarah Zaragoza, Leawood sophomore, and Smith painted ceramics with glaze paints and stencils at Sun Fire Ceramics, 1002 New Hampshire. Practical Wheels rui ruising down Jayhawk Boulevard in a hot sports car or a new sports utility vehicle was a dream for many students. When shopping for cars, students looked for practical, dependable cars rather than luxurious ones. Many students came to the University with the car they bought or received from their parents the year they turned 1 6. Often, the cars they drove were clunkers, barely able to get them from school to their home- towns for holidays and summers. I drive a 4-door Saturn, Ben Blanton, Liberty, Mo., freshman said. It gets me from point A to point B, but it ' s not really great. When I graduate I want to buy an SUV either a Jeep or an Explorer. I ' m plan- ning to move to Colorado when I graduate, so an SUV would be more practical. I also like the rugged look of them. Local automobile dealerships said the most popular cars among college-aged adults were low-priced but sporty looking. The car that seems to sell most successful to college students is the Chevrolet Cavelier, Leonard Collins, sales representative at Crown Toyota, said. The Cavelier sells more than the Toyota Echo does; I think because it is low priced and more sporty looking than the Echo. Students who were often strained for money visited car dealerships to test drive cars and research their favorite models for future purchases. Sales representatives at car dealerships said that when cars for college students were purchased it was usually with monetary support from parents. I drive a Z28 Camero. I ' ve had it since I was 16, Anna Carlton, Dallas freshman said. My parents picked it out for me, and I like it a lot. It has had very few problems. The national popularity of SUVs definitely applied to students at the University. Students liked the height and feeling of power when driving the large vehicles. Our most popular car in terms of college students is the Xterra, Dale York, sales manager said. I think they like it because it ' s an SUV. It has that Generation X look, and it ' s lower priced than many of the other SUVs on the market right now. Some students did not own a car and instead relied on friends for transportation. I ' m from New Jersey, so it ' s easier to fly back and forth than to drive home, Todd Buono, Garfield, N.J., junior said. I used to drive a Camero, but I don ' t really miss not having it. My roommates help me out a lot when I need to go somewhere. Story by Jana Caffrey Photos by Todd Barrett he Volkswagen ' s new bug design was popular for students who ould afford a new car. SUVs proved popular among students who wanted a sporty look and liked to travel. iikes were sufficient transportation for those living in dorms or ho lived far from home and couldn ' t bring a car to school. Trucks could carry fewer people but were popular for friends who needed help moving. 7 U opportunities to explore volunteerism. Students who were looking for volunteer opportunities went straight to the place that had been serving the University of Kansas for 10 years, the Center for Community Outreach (CCO). Started in 1990 by Student Body President Michael Schreiner, CCO had been an essential organization for various volunteer opportunities. Home to approximately 5,000 volunteers, CCO offered opportunities from the Jubilee Cafe, which served Lawrence ' s homeless in a restaurant style environment, to Alternative Breaks, in which students were sent to different cities around the nation over weekends, winter break and spring break. Jubilee Cafe served breakfast on Tuesday and Friday mornings from 6 a.m. to 9:30 am. Volunteers prepared, served and cleaned up after anyone who wished to have a free breakfast. They also got the chance to visit with them and get to know them as people and not just as homeless people. The idea is to instill respect into homeless people ' s lives that they don ' t get at a soup kitchen,,, Melissa Black, Lawrence senior and Co-director of CCO, said. I get to see a lot of familiar faces and it ' s nice to know that you have made an impact on their life for them to keep in contact with you.,, One of the more popular volunteer programs that CCO offered was Alternative Breaks (AB) which began in 1 994 with a single spring break trip. AB allowed students to volunteer in different environments across the nation. Eric Snider, Wichita senior and AB representative, said that the program centered around five universal social issues: hunger and homelessness, health and wellness, the environment, cultural diversity and education. AB required students to enroll in a class that met one day a week to learn about the effects and importance of these issues. Those five issues affect everyone,,, Snider said. One of the misconceptions is that those issues are just related to people in social welfare.,, AB was trying to incorporate more sites related to woman ' s issues and sites that dealt with refugees from other countries. Snider said that most people volunteered to help the community and gain a better sense of the world and themselves. The lessons you learn along the way are what sticks with you,,, he said.

With their signature entrance onto the football field and their provoca- tion of University of Kansas spirit and pride, they have been a staple for home football games. I always get worked up for the crowd, Ryan Lynch, Lenexa sen- ior said. Lynch had also been a staple for the band because he had been marching for 10 years. I always said that as long as I was in school, I would always make time for the marching band, Lynch said. Luckily, my schedule has allowed me to. The Marching Jayhawks rehearsed on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays from 3:30 p.m. to 5:20 p.m. with dress rehearsals the mornings of the home games. They also marched in the homecoming parade every year. There was some travel involved to away football games and tournaments. At the beginning of the year, there was some controversy involved with where the band was to sit in the stadium. The band was placed in the north bowl section of Memorial Stadium, which was supposed to help maximize the sound from the band. But with the help of student complaints, the Marching Jayhawks got moved back to the student sec- tion, where it was traditionally. The band has always been at a high level of excellence, Lynch said. Not only was there a high level work and practice involved, some band students enjoyed the social aspect as well. You get to meet a lot of people and make a lot of friends, said Andrea Gilligan, Emporia senior. I ' ll bet that about 90% of the stu- dents involved do it because of the social aspect.

Harman burned his own Cds and had a collection of approximately 150 songs downloaded from the popular site for free music. filhanestii From country to rap, students downloaded free music from the hotly-debated Napster. Uenf said Incessant words and catchy melodies flew through Tish Merritt ' s head. She was thinking of the songs she heard on the radio when she was little, so she logged onto her computer. When you get one of those old-school songs in your head that you really want to hear and you haven ' t heard since you were five, all you have to do is download it, said Merritt, Liberty, Mo., sophomore. With an estimated 32 million users, Napster was a major source for free music using the MP3 format. Started by 19-year-old Shawn Fanning in his Northwestern University dorm room, Napster allowed users to freely trade music from their computers ' hard drives. Merritt said that she just downloaded the music to sample different artists enough to buy their CDs, however, she said she knew people that downloaded songs and made entire CDs that they sold or gave to other people. I didn ' t want to do it at first, but my friend had like 300 songs downloaded, and we would listen to songs from a long time ago, Merritt said. Napster was so popular on college campuses nationwide that some campuses, such as the University of Michigan, Stanford and Duke Universities banned the use of Napster. Because the colleges ' Inter net or Ethernet connections were faster, it was easier to download songs that would take hours at home. This caused congestion on various college networks. Not only was it a problem for some college campuses, but it had its effects on the music industry as well. Artists, such as Metallica and Eminem, were fighting to take Napster off the Internet because they said it was a form of piracy and it violated the copyright laws. I think that it should be illegal, but I will take advantage of it while I can, said Josh Harman, Beloit freshman. Along with their many friends who used Napster, Merritt and Harman both had extensive collections of downloaded songs. They began thinking of what they were going to do if Napster or other free music sites got shut down. I guess I will be broke, buying CDs again, Merritt said. Story by Mindy Sigle Photos by Todd Barrett Tish Merritt, Liberty, Mo., sophomore, checked her collection of about 200 songs downloaded from Napster. Merritt ' s friend was the one who got her started on it when they were looking up songs from their past. party essentials WhaHvould a party be without red plastic cups and cops? Partying was a near-universal experience on many college campuses, and students at the University of Kansas experienced their fair share of keg beer, deafening beat- infused runes, drink-drenched floors and wall-to-wall people parties. The necessities to a good party are a good atmosphere, a great guy-to-girl ratio, a good quantity of alcohol and a great variety of music, Thomas Lervik Jr., Mulvane senior, said. Lervik and his roommates had thrown four parties in the past year. The reason: to have a good time, Lervik said. Parties required weeks of preparation to get everything in order. Lervik said that he and his roommates started planning about three or four weeks in advance. That way, they got the word out, made sure everyone they wanted to come did not have plans, and deter- mined the theme they wanted their party to have. About three days before the party, the group ordered kegs. Lervik recommended getting three or four kegs enough to keep everyone happy. I wouldn ' t buy one keg and then invite 30 people, Lervik said. One of the keys to throwing a great party is not to run out of alcohol early. However, throwing a party could be fairly expensive and most hosts often charged their guests for a cup. Lervik said that by calculating a dollar per keg, he could determine the price - if a party had three kegs, the entry fee would be $3. The goal of charging was to at least break even. But if the police came, the hosts would take a loss on the night. The best way to handle the police was to take measures to prevent them from having a reason to come. If you can party responsibly and party with a good decibel level, there shouldn ' t be any problems with the cops, Lervik said. When they did show, Lervik said it usually took about 1 5 minutes to get the party down to a size that the police didn ' t have a problem with. However, even with a smaller group of people, the inevitable could happen. I always try to invite just the people that I know, Jana Smoot, Chanute junior, said. But you never know what ' s going to happen who ' s going to puke on what, who ' s fighting, what authorities are going to show up, who ' s going to be crying, what shape your house is going to be in when the party is over.

Three years later, Lunaria was estab- lished, offering tarot readings, Tai Chi and yoga classes as well as mas- sage therapy. It also sold items ranging from essential oils to actual mas- sage tables. The shop had a wheel-chair accessible massage area because the massage tables were located on the upper floor of the center. When I was little, I was an insomniac child, and my older sis- ter would massage my back to put me to sleep, Channel said. When it was time to chose a career, Channel decided to go against everything her parents taught her. I had to follow my heart my heart told me to follow mas- sage, Channel said. Channel also taught massage therapy classes at Lunaria ' s Bodywork Institute, located at 6th and Florida streets, where the Tai Chi and yoga classes were located. Emily Unruh, Lawrence senior, had taken yoga classes in the past to relieve stress and do something good for herself. I wanted something that was just for me and focus on just myself, Unruh said. I was so busy with work and school that I didn ' t have any time for myself. Unruh had heard of Lunaria through a family friend, Aubrey Wallace, who worked there. Wallace was a massage therapist. I knew that getting a massage from Aubrey could take away some of my stress and negative energy, Unruh said. Needing an unconventional answer to some questions about life after a break up, Unruh turned to a tarot reading from Lunaria ' s owner Anna. The reading gave me sight into the fact that I had made the right decision for that point in my life, and it was time for me to grow and rediscover myself as a person, Unruh said. When she read the cards, there was some very shocking stuff stuff that I hadn ' t told her that was read from the cards and completely true, she said.

Men and women marched to the beat offered by the boots as they made their way. They were just typical college students getting through college with the assistance and responsibilities associated with the Reserve Officer Training Corp. (ROTC). It offers students practical leadership experience, said Capt. Kevin Garner, assistant professor of mil- itary science. Following World War I, the University of Kansas integrated the first ROTC classes. These classes were based on the Army ROTC, Naval ROTC joined the ranks after World War II and Air Force ROTC separat- ed from Army ROTC two years after the birth of the Air Force in 1947. At the time, KU was one of 19 col- leges that had all three branches. The ROTC program came under scrutiny after four students were killed during protests on the campus at Kent State University. An ad hoc University Senate committee examined the existence of the three branches on campus. All three branches survived the ordeal and were allowed on campus. Russell Childress, Belton, Mo., senior, joined the Marine Naval ROTC program because it gave him leadership skills and something to do during college. They offered college scholarships and I figured that it would be a good starting point in my career, Childress said. The movie Top Gun really inspired me. Childress wants to go onto navigating aircraft after he finished college. After each student goes through college and gets a four-year degree, the United States military com- missions the graduated students with a second lieutenant position, or its equivalent, in whatever branch they were trained in. Physical training was not the only training that the students did. They were also taught life skills such as problems solving, leadership and other essential skills they needed to travel through life in the military. Childress did not think that people needed to take the ROTC program lightly. Our jobs are very dangerous, Childress said. If we are not structured and careful, lives could be lost.

One lump or two? ea cups clinked. Bach ' s Concerto No. 3 danced through the room. A soft murmuring of conversations mixed in the air. It was Afternoon Tea at the Union. Beginning last school year, the Union began sponsoring free teas, coffees and sweet finger foods in the Traditions area of the Kansas Union lobby. Local businesses, such as the Bayleaf, The Merc and Brits, helped sponsor the weekly event. This weekly event started because KU students, faculty and staff did not have an opportunity to meet informally, Susan Elkins, Program Director of Student Organizations said. I also find that everyone is more gracious there: it seems that all people speak more politely while drinking tea. Students said they heard of the event by walking by it in the Kansas Union and by word-of-mouth. The mood of the event was casual but elegant. The tea and coffee labels were eloquent and the tea cups were nice. The tea flavors ranged from regular herbal tea to strawberry-kiwi fknored tea. Hot cocoa and fruit punch were also served. Hot tea, coffee and cocoa were popular during the fall and winter seasons. Some afternoons, students and faculty could be found playing the piano in the room. The soft notes of the piano set the mood of the event and helped to release tensions of the coffee-breaking guests. Although it had not been going on long, some students had already made this activity a weekly tradition among their friends. I ' ve been coming here almost every Thursday afternoon with a group of my friends since it start- ed. Debbie Berkowitz, Palatine, 111., senior said. There ' s really nothing else like it on campus. The unique atmosphere captured the attention of many students. The atmosphere was different here than many of the busy, chaotic cafeterias on campus. This is a weekly outing for my friends and I, Akilah YaDullah, Overland Park junior said. I like it because it ' s something different music from the piano or stereo is really peaceful. The event attracted instructors and other faculty as well. It was an opportunity for instructors to mingle with their students and get to know them at a more casual level. It was also successful in providing an atmosphere outside of their offices to converse with other instructors and faculty members.

Mouth-watering cuisine was found throughout Lawrence in both large chain restau- rants and in small local joints. Students hankering for a succulant steak, a Mediterranean krass pastry or a warm submarine sandwich found it easily with a short walk or drive. Atmosphere was an important factor for many students when choosing where to go on a Friday evening. Most enjoyed a comfortable, friendly atmosphere when eating with friends. Located in Lawrence for about 10 years, Henry T ' s was a popular place for students to eat and watch sports events with their friends. Henry T ' s is my favorite restaurant. It ' s got a great atmosphere, said Adam Lampinstein, Dallas senior. It ' s a tradition for me and my friends; we ' ve been going there since freshman year. It ' s probably the best ranch in town! New restaurants, such as Aladdin Cafe, offered Greek and Mediterranean cuisine and provided a unique ethnic atmosphere. With Mediterranean music playing in the back- ground, students enjoyed foods like hummus, falafel and gyros. Chains such as Chili ' s, Old Chicago, and Applebee ' s were popular, as well. Chili ' s served grilled items and American food. Chili ' s owners said they had had success at many of their Kansas City locations and opened in Lawrence because they believed it would be an extension of that market. Chili ' s is probably my favorite restaurant here, said Emily Burt, Salina junior. They have lots of vegetarian items on the menu, and that atmosphere is great. It ' s upbeat and reflects the spirit of Lawrence. Yello Sub had served KU students for 20 years. The restaurant started by selling a few sandwich varieties at the Crossing, and as it grew, it moved next door and broadened its menu. It grew to include 46 warm subs, such as the Creamy Club, the Green Turkey and the Yello Sub. Quick, tasty meals were found at Mojo ' s. It was famous for its hot chicken wings but also served other American foods, such as barbecue sandwiches, cheese fries and Chicago-style hot dogs. Quinton ' s menu included a wide variety of sandwiches and rich soups, which were served in bread bowls. The friendly bar had televisions hanging from the ceiling and a juke box that always pumped someone ' s favorite tunes. I really enjoy Quinton ' s, said Erin Solomon, Olathe senior. They have a great atmosphere and their food is always good. I usually order their soup in a breadbowl. T .

Coffee shops in Lawrence offered a plethora of atmosphere and beverages to tension- filled students. Coffee shops provided environments conducive to studying, but also for hanging out with friends. The patrons of the shops varied according to time of day and day of the week. Students and business people were found sampling coffee over piles of papers for class and work during the day hours. The night time hours brought a more relaxed crowd that usually came to visit with friends. We ' re busy in the mornings and evenings everyday. Students come here to relax and study. In the evening I notice more students coming to visit with friends rather than to study, said Patrice Wilcher, a barista at Henry ' s. Henry ' s cafe in downtown Lawrence was two years old. Their drink makers, called baristas, served up about 30 different coffee blends using 20 syrups. Their most popular drink was Cafe Mocha which was a cof- fee blend using chocolate. The cost of that drink ranged from $2.35 to $3.60, depending on serving size. The atmosphere was diverse because the store attracted students as well as Lawrence residents. Going for coffee was such a popular activity when students had free time that local coffee shops were often full. Lunch time is really crowded here, between 1 1 and noon we are always packed, said Rachel Messent, barista at Milton ' s Coffee and Wine. On the weekends we are usually busy all day with customers who are shopping downtown. Milton ' s Coffee and Wine had been in town for three years, serving a wide variety of drinks. It offered 16 gourmet coffees and six house coffees. Also on the menu were 1 1 herbal teas, six black teas and five green teas. Their most frequently requested beverage was David ' s Blend, which included hazelnut and cinnamon flavorings. The price for that blend was a cool $1.25. La Prima Tazza, a coffee house, which had been in Lawrence for 10 years, provided an eclectic atmosphere and wide-variety menu. We have a mixed atmosphere, studious people can come here to work and concentrate in a relaxed setting, but people also come here with friends for fun, said Laurel Wimberg, manager of La Prima Tazza. The most popular drink at La Prima Tazza was the latte, whic h cost about $2.50. They also offered 30 other coffee blends. Whether it was to focus on school work or find escape from stud- ies, students appreciated the warm atmosphere of local coffee shops.

They even produced a few surprises, namely in beach volleyball, women ' s weightlifting, equestrian, platform diving, tae kwon do and Greco-Roman wrestling. In all, the United States finished first in total medals (97) as well as gold medals (39). Perhaps the most hyped story heading into the 2000 summer games was Marion Jones ' quest for five gold medals in track field certainly a lofty goal considering no female American athlete had ever accomplished such a feat. Unfortunately, her goals and golds were compro- mised by her husband ' s drug scandal and an awkward long jump technique. She walked away, respectively, with three gold medals (100m and 200m sprints; 4x400 relay) and two bronze medals (long jump; 1x400 relay). It was th most medals won by any female track and field athlet: in a single Olympics.

The computers were sold for as little as S20 a piece. Most of them were recovered by police after a tip from Crime Stoppers. 36 Days n the end, the media were right all along and didn ' t even know it. On election night 2000, one of the closest pres- idential races in history seesawed back and forth into the wee hours of the morning until most major networks finally declared George W. Bush the vic- tor of Florida, seemingly clinching his place as the nation ' s 43rd president. But we all knew it wasn ' t that easy. Early voting returns from Florida prompted the networks initially to declare Al Gore as that state ' s winner, giving him an undeniable edge in the elec- toral count. But when Florida learned of its prema- ture prognostications, it pulled itself back into the neutral column. Shortly after 2:00 a.m., the networks pro- nounced Bush the next president and many newspa- pers, big and small, followed suit. Americans who went to bed early awoke Nov. 8 to find headlines declaring Bush the winner. One of those papers was The University Daily Kansan. But what had really transpired between the time of the networks ' declaration of victory and their eventual reneging two hours later was something no Hollywood screenwriter could have ever dreamed up- After calling the Texas governor to congratulate him on the victory, Gore was preparing to deliver his concession speech at a Nashville rally when his aides informed him that the vote count in Florida was closer than previously thought. Gore called Bush back, and the ensuing exchange became part of election lore. Let me make sure I understand, said Bush, Time reported. You ' re calling me back to retract your concession? Gore replied, You don ' t have to get snippy about this. Focus on Florida The excruciatingly close vote tally in the Sunshine State resulted in an automatic recount under state law. While the machine recount got underway, attorneys for both Gore and Bush descended on Florida for what would ultimately be five weeks of legal maneuvering and court chal- lenges. After the machine recount was processed, the Associated Press reported that Bush held a slim lead of only 327 votes. But thanks to the infamous but- terfly ballot controversy that swelled up from Palm Beach County, Gore ' s team asked for four heavily Democratic counties to recount their ballots by hand. The GOP immediately retaliated by challeng- ing the validity of the hand recounts in court, and the media began to focus on the suddenly crucial role Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris, a Republican sympathizer whose job it was to certify the state ' s vote count. In past elections, Harris ' duties were seen largely as sy mbolic. But with Bush hanging on by the slimmest of margins, and with the outcome of the presidential election seemingly in her hands, some Democrats began to wonder publicly if she could remain impartial.

The Florida Supreme Court eventually stepped in and prevented Harris from certifying the results until it could hear a motion by the Gore team to con- tinue hand recounts. On Nov. 2 1 , the state high court gave counties five more days to complete their recounts. Bush appealed that ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court, and political analysts were divided about whether the highest court in the country would take the case. Meanwhile, Miami-Dade County, which contained a high concentration of Democratic vot- ers, decided to drop its recount, saying it didn ' t have time to complete it by the newly appointed deadline. Two days before Harris prepared to certify the results, the US. Supreme Court agreed to hear Bush ' s appeal. When the recount deadline expired on Nov. 26, Harris certified Bush the winner of Florida by 537 votes. She didn ' t include the manual recount num- bers from Palm Beach County because it finished two hours late. With the certification completed, Bush announced plans to begin the transition to the White House, but Gore hadn ' t yet used all of his legal options. His lawyers challenged the certification results in a Tallahassee circuit court. That attempt failed, however, so on Dec. 4 the Gore team once again appealed to the Florida Supreme Court at the same time the U.S. Supreme Court asked the state ' s high court to explain why it ordered a recount extension. In a narrow 4 to 3 decision, the Florida Supreme Court ruled the circuit court was wrong to reject Gore ' s challenge of the state certification. It ordered the continued counting of undervotes, or ballots without a clear vote for president, in all Florida counties, a process many of the counties had nearly completed. Undaunted, Bush again asked the U.S. Supreme Court to step in, which it did. The high court ordered all Florida recounts to desist until it could deliver its ruling. End of the road On Dec. 12, in a 5 to 4 decision, divided pri- marily down ideological lines, the U.S. Supreme Court overruled the Florida high court and said no further recounts in that state could be conducted because there was no standardized method to add up the disputed ballots. The next evening Gore conceded the presiden- cy to Bush on national television and promised that he wouldn ' t call back. Tonight, for the sake of our unity of the peo- ple and the strength of our democracy, I offer my concession, Gore said.

Athletic officials at North Carolina, meanwhile, were left scrambling to fill their still-vacant basketball coaching position.

Sept. 2000- A secretive group in New York, called The Second Coming Project, believed it had found a way to hasten the return of Jesus Christ. It wanted to clone him. This group had a wide range of religious back- grounds, but the members all believed modern technology could bring back Jesus to per- form miracles or perhaps usher in world peace. To obtain the DNA sam- ples necessary for the cloning, the group planned to petition any number of people who claimed to possess a Christian relic that contained a part of Jesus ' body, such as the Shroud of Turin. Once a sample was col- lected, the group ' s next step was to find a scientist willing to do the cloning procedure for free. If the cloned Jesus fetus was successful, then it would be placed inside a volunteer woman ' s womb. She didn ' t necessarily have to be a virgin. While cloning technology would leave room for alterna- tive and back-up Jesuses, the group only wanted to start with one. And once the Savior was re-born, the group didn ' t plan on influencing him with any of their own beliefs. Oct. 2000-Patrons at the Tropicana Casino Resort in Atlantic City, N.J., exercised while they gambled using the Pedal ' n Play, a slot machine attached to a stationary bicy- cle.

Mel Carnahan defeated incumbent Republican Sen. John Ashcroft for a seat in the U.S. Senate. Widow Jean Carnahan, 66, had already agreed to take her husband ' s seat if he won the elec- tion, and Ashcroft decided not to challenge the out- come in court. Voters had elected deceased candidates to the House three times in American history, but this was the first time a candidate was elected to the Senate posthumously. It was also the first time the widow didn ' t have time to replace her husband ' s name on the ballot with her own. The crash Mel Carnahan ' s son, Randy, was flying the Cessna 335 when it crashed in rainy weather on Oct. 1 6. The two men and a top campaign aide were on board on their way to a campaign rally in New Madrid, Mo., when Randy Carnahan reported to St. Louis approach controllers that he was having prob- lems with his gyroscope, the artificial horizon instrument that tells the pilot if the plane is level to the ground. While Randy Carnahan may have become dis- oriented, investigators believe the Cessna might have had engine problems as well, based on eyewit- ness reports and clues from the wreckage. The race Mel Carnahan and John Ashcroft had been long-time political rivals. Ashcroft had served as Missouri ' s governor before he was elected to the Senate. But after Carnahan ' s death, Ashcroft imme- diately pulled his television ads for a short time and found it increasingly difficult to run against a posthumous opponent. Meanwhile, Jean Carnahan was flooded with state-wide sympathy and support, and during a mas- sive memorial service at the state capitol in Jefferson City four days after the crash, which President Clinton, Vice President Al Gore, and their wives attended, daughter Robin Carnahan told the crowd, Dad, we won ' t let the fire go out.,, In response to the outpouring of mutual sorrow felt by the people of Missouri, Jean Carnahan decid- ed to accept the offer of her husband ' s successor, Gov. Roger Wilson, and carry on Mel Carnahan ' s legacy by accepting his Senate seat if the outcome was in his favor. The Carnahan campaign and a thousand volun- teers then banded together and began mailing out letters and I ' m Still for Mel,, buttons. Polls leading up to the election showed Mel Carnahan with a nar- row lead. On election day, Ashcroft and Carnahan traded leads in the vote tally until the polls in the heavily Democrat St. Louis County finally closed. It was those votes that ultimately provided Carnahan with the vote margin necessary for victory. Story by Danny Phillips Photo courtesy of AP UDB on Former Missouri Gov.

The National Traffic Highway Safety Administration investigated 1 1 9 deaths and more than 500 injuries linked to the faulty tires. In addition, at least 3.500 complaints and 200 lawsuits were filed worldwide against Firestone and the Ford Motor Co. CEOs from both Firestone and Ford were called to testify on Capitol Hill about what they knew and when they knew it. The companies blamed each other for the faulty tires, which were pro- duced primarily at Firestone ' s Decatur, III., tire plant by replacement workers during a strike. In the wake of the recall. Congress passed a landmark auto safety bill that requires jail time for company execu- tives who try to conceal safety problems. It also increased automaker safety standards and provides punishment exemp- tion for whistle-blowers w ho report the problem quickly. Ralph Nader ' s consumer advocacy group. Public Citizen, opposed the bill because it believed the legisla- tion was too weak and would allow guilty executives to get off the hook through the whistler blower clause Starbucks Employees Win $87 Million Oct. 25, 2000--A Starbucks manager in Los Angeles collected SI from each of her 12 employ- ees to purchase lottery tickets. One of those tickets was the $87 million jackpot winner, instantly turn- ing Mary Champaine and her employees into multi- millionaires. Before taxes, each employee was to receive $6.7 million in 26 annual payments. One of the employees is only 1 6 years old, however, so her share went to her mother. Despite her newfound wealth, Champaine opened the store the next morning and had no immediate plans to quit her job. She planned to spend part of her winnings on a new fence for her home. Playstation 2 Frenzy Oct. 26, 2000-Many people waited in line overnight for the chance to purchase a Playstation 2; Abortion In A Pill Amidst heated controversy, the FDA approved Europe ' s RU-486 drug. Story by Danny Phillips Photo courtesy of AP Sept. 28, 2000-When the Food and Drug Administration finally approved the European abor- tion pill mifepristone, better known as RU-486, for nationwide use, it was met with mixed reactions. Anti-abortionists condemned the approval, fear- ing that it would increase the number of medical abor- tions and pose an additional health risk to women seeking to terminate their pregnancies. Meanwhile, abortion proponents applauded the FDA ' s decision, including the KU Pro-Choice Coalition and the Planned Parenthood Federation of America. They believed RU-486 would provide greater accessibility and privacy for those who didn ' t want a surgical abortion or be harassed by protesters. The drug blocks an essential pregnancy hormone called progesterone and could be administered only within the first seven weeks of pregnancy. During the first doctor ' s visit a woman takes three mifepristone pills orally, and if the fetus isn ' t expelled within two days, she then returns to the doctor to take another pilll that induces contractions. A third visit is usually,; required so the doctor can determine if the abortion; actually occurred. RU-486 is more than 90 percent effective, but if ii fails to terminate the pregnancy, then a surgical abor- tion is required. In rare cases, complications can occur including severe bleeding. There was a limited amount of options where women could receive the drug in Lawrence, anc Watkins Memorial Health Center wasn ' t offering RU- 486 because it lacked the necessary equipment to trea any potential complications. In addition, many states that already had parenta notification laws planned to extend those regulations to RU-486. Thirty-two states require at least one par- ent to be notified before a girl 17 or younger has ai abortion.

That caused a flurry of sup- port from his classmates and free speech advocates. While the student had planned all along to protest the homecoming process if he won. he never really thought he would get the crown. 1 1 is parents hoped to remove the suspension from his permanent record so he could attend college.

The teenager was driving home when the offi- cer pulled her over because he suspected the car contained a rock of crack cocaine. But before he could verify the substance, which turned out not to be cocaine, he put the teen in the back of his patrol car and ordered the search three times. The teenager ' s mom approached the officer when she realized her daughter had been pulled over, but the officer told her to go into her apart- ment until he could complete his investigation. The police department ' s internal review found the officer ' s conduct unbecoming and improper. In addition, it said the teenager ' s bikini was not large enough to conceal weapons or drugs. Oct. 23, 2000-A county judge in Fayetteville, Ga., wanted a stronger deterrent than fines to curtail chronic speeders, so he required them to put neon-green How Am I Driving?,, bumper stickers on their cars.

Of the 100 stickers the judge had handed out in the first five months of the pro- gram, most of them went to drivers under 25 years of age. Nov. 4, 2000-A couple from the Chicago area had just bought a Ford Expedition from a rental company, but when they tried to roll down the windows, they would only go down halfway. They took the SUV to a dealership so the windows could be fixed, and it didn ' t take long for the mechanics to determine the problem. More than 49 pounds of marijuana worth $25,000 was found stuffed inside the side panels, apparently left behind by drug traffickers who aban- doned the rental vehicle before they got caught. When the couple returned to the dealership, they were shocked to see so much mari- juana and their new SUV ripped apart. Hertz gave the couple a more expensive 2000 Ford Expedition as a replacement. sdssemcy At K-mart Nov. 4, 2000-A Milwaukee man was sentenced to one year of probation for indecent exposure after a K- mart shopper found him mas- turbating in his truck in the parking lot.

Attack On USS Cole Claimed 17 Lives he worst terrorist attack on U.S. military per- sonnel in three years occurred when the USS Cole, a guided missile destroyer with a crew of 350 sailors, docked in a Yemeni port for refueling Oct. 12, 2000. Around noon, a small boat with two men aboard approached the side of the ship and stood at attention just before detonating a high-explosive charge. The explosion blew a massive hole, 40 feet high and 40 feet wide, in the side of the Cole and killed 17 sailors while wounding 39 others. The most seriously injured were taken to a military installation in Germany for treatment. A week later, a memorial was held at Norfolk Naval Station in Virginia, the Cole ' s home port. Family members of the deceased and some of the sailors who were injured in the attack were among those in attendance. President Clinton addressed the crowd of mourners and vowed: To those who attacked them, we say, ' You will not find a safe harbor. We will find you, and justice will prevail. ' He then began slowly reading aloud the names of the men and women who died aboard the Cole. On the opposite coast, a smaller memorial serv- ice was held a few hours later by the Pacific Fleet and the 32nd Street Naval Station in San Diego. The crippled destroyer eventually made its way back to the states by mid-December with the help of a Norwegian heavy-lift ship. The cost for repairing the ship was estimated at $240 million.

Presumed dead, they were the victims of a collision with an American submarine, the USS Greenville. The Greenville was performing training exercises of the coast of Hawaii with 16 civilians on board. Just before the submarine ' s crew per- formed its emergency surfacing drill, the captain conducted a periscope search of the water sur- face and didn ' t see any ships. He was informed that the Japanese vessel, Ehime Maru, was in the area, but a crew member later told investigators that the civilians on board prevented him from doing his job completely. Just before the Greenville surfaced, it turned 180 degrees, attempting to ascend away from the ship, but in reality it was headed right for it. When the sub- marine reached the top, it slammed into the fish- ing vessel, causing the boat to sink. There were 13 Japanese students on board the Ehime Maru, and four of them presumably went down with the ship. The relatives of those missing became angry with the United States and believed it was trying to protect the subma- rine ' s captain and crew. In response to their grief, the Pentagon sent an admiral to Japan with a letter of apology from President George W. Bush. The relatives wanted to see the sunken vessel brought up from the ocean floor so the remains of their loved ones could be recovered, but no attempts had yet been made.

Close Call Former KU star Paul Pierce survived 11 stab wounds during a nightclub brawl Story by Danny Phillips Photos courtesy of AP The Niagra from Erie, Pa., passed by the Statue of Liberty in New York harbor during OpSail 2000, July, 4, 2000. More than 150 tall ships from 20 countries were present at the event, which was started by President John F. Kennedy in 1961 to promote cultural exchanges. Sept. 25, 2000 Looking back, ex-Jayhawk and current Boston Celtics starter Paul Pierce admitted he ' s fortunate to be alive. That ' s because he was stabbed nearly a dozen times at a nightclub in Boston ' s theater district last September. Even though most of his injuries were superficial, one stab wound extended seven inches into his chest, requiring lung surgery. Three men have since been arrested and charged with assault and battery with a deadly weapon. They all pleaded innocent and awaited trial. Prosecutors claimed that one of the men came up behind Pierce in the club ' s poolroom and hit him in the back of the head with a bottle. That ' s when the other two men joined in the fight and began stabbing Pierce, prosecutors said. The motive was still under investiga- tion in December. The Celtics began their training camp without their 23-year-old star forward, and Pierce was forced to sit during three preseason games, but fewer than six Man used pretzel snack to rob store Nov. 2000 An unemployed British man used a Twiglet, a small pretzel-like snack no larger than a person ' s pinky finger, to rob a wine store.

The final four everyone will remember from 2000 was Richard, Rudy, Sue and Kelly, the last contestants remaining on the Survivor island. The hit CBS show bucked conventional sum- mertime wisdom by airing 13 original episodes while most networks were showing reruns. And the gamble paid off. The first Survivor episode was watched by 15 million viewers, according to Nielsen Media Research, but that was nothing compared to the series finale in August, which had 5 1 .7 viewers tune in. In all, Survivor was the highest-rated summer TV program in the past 13 years, ranking second only to the Super Bowl in 2000. Especially good for CBS and its advertisers was that a majority of the viewers were from the coveted 1 8-49 age range. The island Sixteen castaways began the show on Pulau Tiga island, but by the final episode 39 days later, the competition had been whittled down to only four Richard Hatch, Rudy Boesch, Susan Hawk and Kelly Wiglesworth. Two more survival games left only Richard and Kelly standing, and it was up to a council of seven former castaways, including Susan and Richard, to decide who would be the ultimate victor. Susan wasn ' t fond of either of the finalists, calling Richard a snake and Kelly a rat. Ultimately, she cast her support for Richard, and after the other votes were tallied, Richard survived by a margin of only one vote, earning him the $1 million grand prize and a Pontiac Aztek. The winner Richard, who became an instant national celebrity after taking off his clothes and roaming around on the beach nearly nude, made good on his episode one prediction when he said I ' ve got the million-dollar check written in my name. In fact, he said it was he who initiated alliance between Rudy, Susan and Kelly that guaranteed him a spot on the island until at least the final episode. He also managed to stretch out his 15-minutes of fame by frequenting talk shows, appearing on awards shows and writing a book called 101 Survival Secrets: How to Make $1 Million, Lose 100 pounds and Live Happily Ever After. Richard was offered half a million dollars to write a tell-all book about what happened on the island behind the scenes, but because of his contract with CBS, which allowed the network to control how the contestants benefited from their fame, the book wasn ' t allowed to be written. After remodeling his home, Richard invested a majority of his winnings and donated a portion to a home for troubled youth. Story by Danny Phillips Photo courtesy of AP UUS Survivor )rc rat.

June 26, 2000 After 10 years of racing to suc- cessfully map the entire human DNA sequence, two competing research teams reached the finish line at the same time. The end result was a rough blueprint of the human body on a genetic level, and scientists believed this breakthrough would lead to the advancement of new drugs and the ability to determine a person ' s suscepti- bility to illnesses. Doctors predicted they might even develop custom treatments based on individual genet- ic profiles. Celera Genomics, a private research laboratory based in Rockville, Md., and a consortium of in terna- tional, publicly funded scientists, known as the Human Genome Project, announced on the same day last sum- mer that they had successfully mapped the human genome. Both groups, along with President Clinton and British Prime Minister Tony Blair, hailed the accom- plishment as a medical milestone that would revolu- tionize the way medicine was practiced and the way diseases were treated.

Baltimore Ravens: From Cellar To Super nee again, the preseason prognosticators got it wrong. While most sports writers were banking on the Rams to repeat, the Redskins to make a charge, or the Raiders to break their jinx, almost nobody gave the Baltimore Ravens or New York Giants a second glance. Certainly, no one was foolish to stake his or her reputation on the prediction that either of those teams would make it to the playoffs, let alone win a championship. But the fools put the wise to shame. With a stifling defense and a rejuvenated quar- terback, the Ravens torched the Giants 34-7 in Super Bowl XXXV It was the first championship for the Ravens as a franchise, and it was the first Super Bowl win for the city of Baltimore in 30 years. Both teams rode into the final showdown on the backs of their relentless defenses, but the Ravens, led by Super Bowl MVP linebacker Ray Lewis, proved they were supreme. Baltimore didn ' t allow New York an offensive touchdown, and by yielding the fewest points in a 16-game season, it made its claim as one of the best NFL defenses of all time. For Lewis, the year leading up to his team ' s improbable success was a complete turnaround. He was in Atlanta during Super Bowl XXXIV, and after an altercation at a post-game nightclub party, he was suspected of a double murder. Eventually he reached a plea agreement with prosecutors. He pled guilty to misdemeanor obstruction of justice, and in return the prosecutors dropped the murder and aggravated assault charges. The other Ravens player with a storybook year was quarterback Trent Dilfer. He was all but ban- ished from his first team, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, before arriving in Baltimore, and his nay sayers said he could never win the big one. But not only did he win a championship, he returned to the Buccaneers home stadium to do it. Dilfer was practically flawless during the Super Bowl, throwing for 153 yards and a touchdown. After scoring the first seven points of the game, the Ravens never looked back. The third quarter was wild, with both teams scoring a combined 21 points in less than 40 sec- onds. First, Baltimore defensive back Duane Starks began the scoring deluge by intercepting Giants quarterback Kerry Collins and running it in for a touchdown. On the ensuing kickoff, Giants return man Ron Dixon raced 97 yards for a score, breathing new life into the flailing New York team. But that rejuvena- tion was short lived. When the Giants kicked off to Baltimore, Jermaine Lewis ran 84 yards for a touch- down.

A passenger train was traveling from Newcastle to London at more than 100 mph on one of the fastest tracks in England when it collided with a Land Rover jeep that had driven off the road and fallen down an embankment onto the tracks. The collision caused the passenger train to derail and smash into a freight train that was traveling in the opposite direction on a parallel track. All nine cars of the passengers train derailed, and some were thrown into a nearby field, trapping some passengers inside for eight hours. When the passenger train conductor saw the jeep on the tracks, he tried to apply the emergency brakes, but it was too late. The Land Rover was pushed several hundred yards down the tracks. About 1 00 people were on board the passenger train. Authorities had decided not to remove the bodies of the deceased from the wreckage in order to aid the investigation. They didn ' t know why the jeep drove off the road, but bad weather might have played a role. Napster ' s future uncertain Feb. 2001 Napster may have received the kiss of death when an appeals court ruled that the on-line music sharing service knew that its users were violating copyright laws when allowing them to downloa ' d music from its server. The service was allowed to remain open, how- ever, until a lower court redrafted its injunction against Napster. The music industry filed a lawsuit against Napster in 1 999 because it claimed the service was stealing billions of dollars in revenue from them. Napster boasted more than 50 million users, all of whom could download an unlimited number of songs. Since the appeals court ' s ruling, Napster had offered to pay the music industry $1 billion during the next five years. Napster would get the money by turning itself into a subscription-based service. Users would have to pay a monthly fee, and some faithful Napster users were outraged when they Selma Elected Perkin: Former epicenter of civil rights struggle elected first black mayor. Story by Danny Phillips Contributed Photo Sept. 13, 2000 When Selma, Ala., elected busi- nessman James Perkins to office, it was the first time the city infamous for its role in the civil rights struggle opted for an African- American mayor. Perkins defeated nine-term incumbent Joe Smitherman, 70, a former segregationist who had managed to hold off Perkins in two previous elections. Selma gained national attention in 1965 just six months after Smitherman first won the mayor ' s office. Civil rights marchers were met by police armed with tear gas and clubs. The bloody encounter helped lead the passage of the 1 965 Voting Rights Act. Smitherman once referred to Martin Luther King Jr. as Martin Luther Coon, but over the years ho began to shed his segregationist policies. Only 355 blacks were registered voters when he first took offict in 1964, but in Sept. 2000, when Perkins finally defeat : ed Smitherman, the electorate had shifted to nearly 6! percent black. Even though Smitherman campaigned openly to African Americans, he did not get the 50 percent need, ed to avoid a run-off like he had in every other election Smitherman chose not to contest the election results. Perkins ' grass-roots campaign involved mostH young volunteers. He ran his campaign out of a small house and won the mayoral race by about 60 percent. Bar sold candy, gave away liquor Feb. 13 After state officials in Newington, Conn., revoked a bar ' s liquor permit for selling alcohol to minors, the bar continued to operate and tried to cir- cumvent the setback by charging S2 for a bite-size Snickers bar and then giving away liquor with each purchase.

He pur- chased the slickers over the Internet at S3 a piece. At first he was only going to donate 1 .000 rain- coats, but a preacher convinced him to up the total. icard the news. Under the new plan, Napster would limit its :xchange rate to 128k, which would greatly decrease the speed at which the music could be downloaded and lessen the sound quality. Also, idditional fee would be required to burn the music o CDs or transfer it to portable devices. Regardless, the music industry had been unim- jressed with the offer. And whatever the final out- :ome of the Napster debate, the future of on-line music swapping would undoubetly continue. Users would be able to migrate to other Internet services that were harder to regulate, such as Gnutella, because they are pure peer-to-peer sharing services. Congress had also agreed to hold hearings about Napster and the future of music on the Internet. James Perkins sat at his new desk just before being sworn in as the first black mayor of Selma, Ala., Oct. 2.

Shameful sign for thief reduced jail time Feb. 2001 A former funeral home employee who stole money from envelopes was given the chance to shave 40 days of his jail sentence by wearing a sign around his neck that read I stole money from families of the dead. After the man pled guilty to theft, the judge in the case, who was known for his shame tactics, sentenced the thief to 100 days in jail. That sentence could have been reduced if the man agreed to wear the sign. weird news Dead woman sent to junkyard Feb. 13 A car accident in Aizuwakamatsu, Fukushima, sent a woman and her 7-year-old daughter to the hospital with light head injuries. Amazingly, neither the police nor the firefighters who responded to the accident noticed that another woman was dead in the backseat of the car. The car was sent to the junkyard, and it wasn ' t until six hours later when the family of the woman driving the car went to pick up some things left behind that they noticed the elderly woman, who was an acquaintance of the driver, lying face down in the back seat. An autopsy later revealed that the woman had died of a strong blow to her heart and most likely died at the moment of impact. Police apologized for the oversight. Camera caught hood ornament robber Feb. 13 A young pret- zel shop manager in South 1 -luntington, N.Y., wanted a hood ornament for his car, so he told one of his 1 5-year-old employees that if he stole one from the parking lot he would get a raise. The employee took up the offer, but he was caught in the act on a st ore security camera. The 1 5-year-old was charged with petty larceny and released to his parents, but the 22-year- old manager was arrested and charged with conspiracy and possession of stolen property. Seven Texas Inmates Captured In Colorado nmate George Rivas didn ' t want to die an old man in prison. That ' s what prompted him and six other cohorts to bust out of n maximum-security Texas prison Dec. 13, 2000. For 43 days, police and FBI launched a massive manhunt for the Texas Seven, and it was a tip from America s Most Wanted view- ers that ultimately led to their capture. Rivas was serving life in prison for aggravated robbery, and on that fateful day in December he and his fellow inmates made their break during lunchtime. When the prison guards returned from their break, the inmates overpowered them and fled the jail. Before making their way to Colorado, however, they robbed a sporting goods store in Irving, Texas, on Christmas Eve. During that robbery, the Texas Seven gunned down police officer Aubrey Hawkins and then ran over his body with their vehicle. In an interview after his capture, Rivas took full responsibility for Hawkins ' murder and said he expected to be executed for the crime. While the manhunt was underway, the seven inmates took refuge in sleepy Woodland Park, Colo. They didn ' t maintain a low profile, but they were able to convince the residents of the RV park that they were just missionaries passing through to California. On Jan. 22, police, prompted by several tips, located five of the escapees in Woodland Park. Three of them, including ringleader Rivas, were captured at a convenience store. The other two were surrounded by law enforcement in their motor home. One surrendered; but escapee Larry Harper, convicted of aggravated sexual assault, committed suicide. The final two inmates, Patrick Murphy Jr. and Donald Newbury, were able to escape police bri efly, but two days later authorities found them holed up in a Colorado Springs Holiday Inn hotel room. The police negotiated with them for several hours, but the escapees refused to surrender until they were granted an interview with a local TV reporter. Police agreed to the request, and each escapee was given five minutes to talk. During their inter- views they railed against the Texas prison system. The reporter made sure not to bring up any hot-but- ton issues as to avoid angering the escapees. The Dallas district attorney didn ' t plan to offer any of the captured inmates plea bargains, and if they were extradited back to Texas, they could all face the death penalty.

NT Story by Shawn Linenberaer % Photos bvTrent Guver Dancing ' s not a sport. Some people would agree with that statement, but don ' t tell Crimson Girls coach Cathy Jarzemkoski that. I think it ' s a sport, Jarzemkoski said. There is training, and there is an ultimate goal to achieve in national competitions. The Crimson Girls had trained extensively. The squad spent six to eight hours each day during winter break preparing for the College Cheerleading and Dance Nationals from Jan. 11 to 14 at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Fla. Jarzemkoski was quick to point out that her girls logged more practice hours during break than the men ' s basketball team. The hard work apparently paid off. The Crimson Girls, one of 16 teams chosen from a pool of 30 to compete in the finals of the national competition, finished 1 2th. Just being selected to compete was an honor for the team. The Crimson Girls received an invitation based on their performance in a videotaped dance rou- tine that was critiqued by a panel of judges. While placing high at nationals was important, the Crimson Girls ' captain, Alissa Criger, said bonding as a team and getting to know other dancers from across the country were their top priorities. It was great, Criger said. We had so much fun. I was so proud of the girls. It was Criger ' s third appearance at the national competition. Last year, the team placed ninth after another 12th-place finish in 1999. Criger, a junior from Omaha, Neb., said competing had been a challenge this year because the team lacked experience. With the exception of three juniors, the Crimson Girls were comprised of all freshmen and sophomores. Still, Criger was impressed with their performance. We would have liked to have done better, but I think we did well, she said. I think the highlight of the trip for me was getting to know the girls better. Funding from the University covered much of the trip ' s cost, but the team also did fund-raisers, such as playing host to dance clinics and selling team posters to raise extra money. Jarzemkoski said the Crimson Girls ' success stemmed from extensive time devoted to training. But the stringent practice schedule really took its toll. It ' s really hard since they don ' t get to have much of a Christmas break like most kids, Jarzemkoski said. They don ' t get to go home like most students do. It really tests their dedication. Jarzemkoski said the rigorous training schedule endured by each team member proved that they were athletes and not just girls participating in an activity, as people often say. It ' s always been, ' Are they athletes, or are they not? ' she said. With the practice they went through before the competition, it ' s definitely an art and a sport, she said. In addition to competitions, the Crimson Girls performed at various com- munity events in Lawrence. But their number one priority was dancing during Kansas basketball games. Criger said performing in Allen Fieldhouse in front of more than 16,000 fans was an experience like no other. It ' s unreal, she said. It just gives me goose bumps because it ' s so rich in tradi- tion. UMSr rv o 1 AT BP SI UM Top Left: Yell-leaders ran around the track waving flags that spelled Kansas.

A brief sketch: 1 ) Jayhawks fail to go to post-season, but seem optimistic for next year. 2) Spring practice start; Jayhawks supposidly on rise. 3) A few talented, NFL-caliber players spark interest in program; hype begins. Kansas has safety Carl Nesmith and running back Moran Morris. 4) Season starts. Jayhawks lose a game they should not; suffer for rest of season. 5) As wins become sparse, fans stop showing up at Memorial Stadium. 6) Jayhawks fail to go to a bowl game. 7) Go back to step one; repeat Kansas ' 2000 football season, at the beginning, had more hype than Lou Bega ' s Mambo No. 5 video. But as the season progressed, it didn ' t get sweeter. Kansas opened with a disappointing loss at Southern Methodist that set the tone for a disappointing season. Coach Terry Allen recalled at the end of Kansas ' 4-7 season that the loss in Dallas may have kept the Jayhawks away from a bowl game for the fifth consecutive year. I remember walking away from the locker room wondering if that one was going to come back and haunt us, Allen said. It did. Although, there were some bright spots. The Jayhawks trounced Missouri again on Oct. 14, giving Kansas a glimmer of hope that the fourth year in Lawrence would be a charm for Allen. Kansas then beat Colorado, which meant the Jayhawks would need to win only two of its last four games to be bowl-eligible. But a last play, hail Mary pass fell short the next week at home against Texas Tech, and the Jayhawks lost their last three games to Nebraska, Texas, and Iowa State. After the final loss to Iowa State, on a cold, dreary day in Ames, Allen reflected on the season and what could have been. Senior linebacker Tim Bowers, the brainiac of the Kansas squad, could not believe it was over. It seems like it was just yesterday that I got here, Bowers said. The players didnt want to talk about all the disappointments they had this season, but the dashed hopes weighed on Allen ' s heart. As the TV cam- eras turned off at Allen ' s post-game press conference at Iowa State, Allen raised his head and said, ' It ' s been a bummer. 138 football 2000 Kansas Football ept. 2 at Southern Methodist 31-17(L) ept. 16 ALABAMA-BIRMINGHAM 23-20(W) ept. 23 SOUTHERN ILLINOIS 42-0(W) ept. 30 at Oklahoma 34-1 6(L) )ct. 7 KANSAS STATE 52-1 3(L) )ct. 14 at Missouri 38-1 7(W) )ct. 21 COLORADO 23-1 5(W) )ct. 28 TEXAS TECH 45-39(L) Jov. 4 at Nebraska 56-1 7(L) Jov. 11 TEXAS 51-16(L) Jov. 18 at Iowa State 38-1 7(L) Top left: KU scored a touchdown against Texas while fans and teammates jumped for joy.

After finishing the 1 999-00 season in fifth place in the Big 12 Conference and losing in the second round of the NCAA Tournament to Duke, the Jayhawks returned with a renewed sense of conviction and three sophomores who were the cream of the Big 12 crop. Kirk Hinrich, Drew Gooden and Nick Collison held Kansas together when it easily could have cracked, keeping the Jayhawks near the top of the conference. The Jayhawks finished the season in a three-way tie for second with Oklahoma and Texas in the Big 12 Conference. Back on Top Kansas earned a No. 4 seed in the Midwest Regional, its 30th NCAA Tournament appearance. In the first round, The Jayhawks took on No. 13 Cal-State Northridge in Dayton, Ohio. The ' Hawks won, 99-75, and stretched their NCAA-leading first- round winning streak to 18 games. In the second round the Kansas took on Syracuse and defeated the Orangemen convincingly, 87-58. The win marked Kansas ' return to the Sweet Sixteen after a four-year hiatus. The win also brought a new mascot. Kansas coach Roy Williams introduced Stank ' Em, a stuffed monkey symbolizing the string of second round losses as the monkey on his back. The monkey, though, couldn ' t help the Jayhawks take care of business against Illinois in San Antonio. Despite four Illini fouling out, Kansas couldn ' t overcome Illinois ' physical play and lost 80-64. Kansas finished the season 26-7 and ranked No. 7. Shooting percentage was a huge key for the Jayhawks, and they led the nation for much of the sea- son, shooting better than 50 percent. Early in preseason, he drilled that into our heads what was a good shot for this team, said Gooden, who contemplated heading for the NBA, but opted for another year in Lawrence. Everybody on this team picks their points on the court for their scor- ing, and we ' re leading the country in field goal percentage. I have to give Coach Williams all the credit for that. Although Gooden gave Williams credit for making Kansas take good shots, it was the players who were knocking those shots down at a lethal clip. Collison kept his percentage around the 60 percent mark for a good portion of the sea- son while Gooden and senior Kenny Gregory both hit better than 50 percent of their shots. With the big guys hitting shots down low, it left guards such as Hinrich wide open from behind the three-point line, and the Kansas perimeter players made opponents pay. Hinrich was shooting near 50 percent from behind the three- point arch, leading the Big 12. He is very consistent, Williams said of Hinrich. He is a tough, competitive kid. He is one of those that you love because he only cares about one thing and that ' s the ' W ' at the end of the game. I truly believe that if Kirk Hinrich were to go a game and not score a single point, as long as our team won, it wouldn ' t bother him in the least. But it wasn ' t just Hinrich that only cared about winning instead of individual numbers. Kansas ' team was full of unselfish players, whose only concern was chalking up numbers in the ' W ' column. I like the chemistry of this team, Williams said. I like how they are concerned about winning. I like that fact that, so far, when its been crunch time, they have been willing to compete. Every time there has been a chance to draw a line in the sand and stand up, they have done that, and I like that part of it.

Story bv Chris Wristen %- Photos bv Todd Barrett TThe Kansas soccer team entered its 2000 campaign on a mission make it to the Big 12 Conference tournament or die trying. The top eight teams in the conference would make it to the tourna- ment, which was held in San Antonio, and after five seasons, the Jayhawks had yet to make it to the dance. Their best finish was ninth in 1999. Kansas was close to achieving its goal, but must have either beat Baylor or Missouri in the next two weeks or get help from other teams in the conference if its dream was to become a reality. That goal wouldn ' t be easy to achieve. Kansas split games for its first seven weeks before being swept in the eighth. After that week the ' Hawks stood 7-9 overall, 3-5 in the conference with two weeks remaining. The Jayhawks were in the thick of the confer- ence race but they still had work to do. The seven seniors: Colleen Colvin, Emma Di Cesare, Meghann Haven, Lindsey Horner, Johanna Larsson, Katie Lents and Kylie Watts had paved the way, but not without the help of some newcomers. Sophomore Layla Young and freshman Sarah Gonzalez split time at goalkeeper while sophomore Pardis Brown and Carmel Kaplinger made immediate impacts on the Jayhawks. Also in the mix was freshman Maggie Mason, a starter in the midfield who has spent time training with the Canadian national team. Records were set as well. Coach Mark Francis became the winningest coach in Kansas soccer history in just a year and a half at the helm. Colvin became the career goals leader and was number two in career pints behind Haven. Junior Natalie Hoogveld was number three on that list. Junior Melanie Schroeder tied the single season assists record with eight. With two weeks remaining in the season the Jayhawks were still on the outside looking in, but if they earned a bid in the conference tourna- ment, then it would be played in November 1 - 4 in San Antonio.

Bottom: Brooke Reves attempted to block a Sooner ' s shot, but the Hawks eventually lost, 88-64. s fc f Fresh Faces It wasn ' t the best season for the Kansas women ' s basketball team. In fact, judging by the standards coach Marian Washington has set in her 28 years at Kansas, the 2000-01 season was hard to handle. In the history of both the Big 8 and Big 12 conferences, Kansas never finished lower than sixth. The Jayhawks finished this sea- son in ninth place with a 12-17 record. It was only Washington ' s fifth losing season and first since 1988-89. The season ' s highlights were a 70-60 win against No. 21 Texas on Feb. 3 in Austin and a 69-61 win against No. 6 Iowa State on Feb. 17. I think our expectation every year here at Kansas is to win, Washington said. You never go into the year expecting to lose. I don ' t know that anyone who ' s associated with this program expects anything other than to win. However, the Jayhawks ' sub-par season didn ' t come out of the blue. Kansas lost a huge portion of its offense to graduation with the departure of Lynn Pride and Suzi Raymant. To combat the holes in the offense, Washington turned to junior college transfers and freshmen, who did not fill the holes left by Pride and Raymant. You also have to be realistic, and I knew in the back of my mind that we would have to rely on a bunch of new faces, Washington said. Of the three transfers, junior KC Hilgenkamp was the only one who produced. Dalchon Brown was part of a revolving door at center, and Fernanda Bosi returned to Brazil for personal reasons. The constant for Kansas was its seniors. Forwards Jaclyn Johnson, Brooke Reves and guard Jennifer Jackson joined the 1 ,000-point club this sea- son. It feels really good to reach that plateau, Johnson said. The elite women of Kansas basketball reach 1 ,000 points, and it just feels really good to be in their company. Washington, who had coached 1,000- point players like Lynette Woodard and Pride, said she was proud to coach the latest member of the club. I ' m delighted for her, Washington said. Any time any of our players reach that mile- stone, I think it ' s outstanding and something she ' s going to treasure the rest of her life. Story by Zac Hunter Photos By Todd Barrett and Christina Neff Kansar? OH, CANADA Scott Russell took first in Canadian Olympic Trials, but he fell short of a trip Down Under. For Scott Russell, the Sydney Olympics were 14 feet away. The Windsor, Ontario, Canada, senior placed first in the javelin at the Canadian Olympic Trials on Aug. 13, but the top spot didn ' t translate into an automatic bid for Sydney. For an athlete to qualify for the Olympics, he or she must meet one of the two standards A or B. Those who made the A standard were the elite of the elite. Those who made the B stan- dard had little chance to win a medal but were qualified enough to com- pete with the big boys. Russell may have been the best in the great North, but he had only thrown well enough to make the B standard in the javelin. And even though his personal best - 259 feet was only 14 feet off the A standard, the Canadian Olympic Committee decided that only A standard athletes in track and field would be sent Down Under. Any country can take up to three athletes who meet the A stan- dard, said Doug Reynolds, Kansas throw- ing coach. Every coun- try can send one athlete who meets the B stan- dard, so they had the option to send him because he made the B standard. Russell didn ' t even get to celebrate being No. 1 in Canada in his event before the disappointment of missing his Olympic bid set in. Basically I knew at the trials that I wasn ' t going, Russell said. I was told that if I could repeat the 259 feet that I threw at the Dr. Pepper Invitational in March, then there was a chance that they might send me, I threw 75 meters (247.5 feet) instead. So Russell participated in the Games in much the same way that most KU students did by slouching on his couch in front of the television. And, interestingly enough, Reynolds was even closer than Russell to the games viewing them from the sidelines rather than in his Lazy Boy. Reynolds didn ' t have a hand in coaching Russell - that job was done by former Kansas throws coach Lorri LaRowe but he did compete as an athlete in the discus at the United States Olympic Trials. We had 10 or 15 guys with the A standard in the discus, said Reynolds, who finished fourth at the US. Trials. He also said that if it had been his choice, he would have sent Russell to Sydney. My ideas about developing athletes differ from the CanadianOlympic Committee ' s, Reynolds said. I think that if they had sent him, he certainly wouldn ' t have medaled, but he ' s young and has nowhere else to go but up. Having a chance to compete at that level would have raised the bar for him. So now Russell looks toward representing Canada the next games. Athens, Greece in 2004. . . , Russell said. If my body holds togeth- er, then I ' ll make a run for it. Reynolds has faith that the 6-foot-9, 275 pound Russell will still be the top of his game four years from now. I ' m sure he ' ll be at the Olympics in 2004, Reynolds said. I think his body will hold up and that he ' ll have a chance to medal.

The Jayhawks started the season by winning its own Jayhawk Classic and starting 10-0. But two four-game losing streaks found their way into the schedule, but the Jayhawks managed to finish the season on a positive note. Kansas swept Oklahoma in its final game in Norman, Okla. The win pushed the Kansas record to 15-14, and was its second straight winning seasons for the first time since 1992-93. I ' m really happy that our seniors are able to leave the program on a winning note, said Kansas coach Ray Bechard. All four of them had fine matches tonight and contributed to the win. As a volleyball team, we are headed in a positive direction and their contributions to this pro- gram are immeasurable. Senior Amy Myatt set the record for most kills in a season with 457. She broke the record of Judy Desch, who had owned the record since 1987. Amy really put togeth- er one solid season, said Bechard. I am very proud of her hard work and all of her accomplishments during her career at KU. The record is something that she can be very proud of. While the team was enjoying a winning season on the court, it also was enjoying a productive season in the classroom. Kansas had five players named to the Academic All-Big 12 team. Seniors Myatt and Sara Kidd and sophomore Kylie Thomas were named to the first team and senior Nancy Bell and sophomore Jamie Morningstar were named to the second team. The University of Kansas and the KU athletics department couldn ' t be happier for these young women, said Bechard. They ' ve worked hard during their careers to receive this honor and each of them represent what is good about college athletics. Although the season didn ' t turn out how Kansas wanted with an NCAA Tournament bid, the Jayhawks did have rea- son for celebration. The Jayhawks traveled to Indiana for the Purdue Mortar Board Premier Tournament where they defeated Western Michigan, Eastern Kentucky and the host team, Purdue. We really came out hard, said junior setter Molly LaMere. We were kind of anxious to see how we ' d play together in a com- petitive environment, but everybody came out to play hard and win. But perhaps the biggest win for the Jayhawks came early in the conference sea- son, when they beat Colorado, a team they had- n ' t defeated since 1987. The game went all five matches, the fifth ending in rally scoring, where a point can be earned even without serving. That rally scoring gets tough on the nerves, but we pulled it out, Bechard said. But, like I told the girls before that (fifth) game, all you have to do is believe in yourself. n, Story bv Michael Sudhalter Photos bv Lori Amev Imagine the Kansas basketball team walking into a sold-out Allen Fieldhouse without Roy Williams or any coach at all. Would the team still qualify for the NCAA Tournament? The Kansas men ' s club soccer team completed a similar task in the fall by placing second at the Midwest Regional Finals in Lubbock, Texas. Its second place status qualified the Jayhawks for the national tournament in Austin, Texas, Nov. 16 to 18. The Jayhawks, led by Jared Coffin, Stamford, Conn., junior, and Chris Pirotte, Olathe graduate student, finished 4 -1 during a five game, 48-hour stretch. The four victories against Baylor, Texas-El Paso, Southwest Texas State and Wichita State came after an 8-2-2 season record against the likes of Central Missouri State, Kansas State, Northwest Missouri State, Pittsburg State and Washington University (St. Louis). Coffin said he was content with the play of the mostly junior-laden team. We have a lot of people who are motivated to play, Coffin said. Baylor looked past us, and we surprised them. The team had competed in the national finals at Phoenix in 1997 and 1998, but this was the first time they had earned the right to compete at nationals. This team actually qualified for nationals instead of being placed there, Pirotte said. Qualification made it a big step. The team also was thrilled to play in the second part of the twinbill at Arrowhead Stadium. The Jayhawks had lost to archrival K-State during the previous season at Arrowhead. Playing in Arrowhead in front of so many fans was a great experi- ence, said Greg Bowlin, Parkville, Mo., senior. Bowlin, who interned as a sales and marketing representative for the Kansas City Wizards, pointed out that the area ' s strong interest in youth and high school soccer programs had benefited the Jayhawks club pro- gram. Playing at the club level in college is a step up, Law said. A lot of the players are physically bigger. The club level also forced teams to play many games in a matter of days, which often ate away at the endurance of the players. In many cases, including the Midwest Championship, endurance could be a deciding fac- tor. I think we need to play Texas Tech early in nationals while we are still fresh, Coffin said. U54D KU Men ' s soccer club practiced their moves on the field. The club earned its stripes by compet- ing in several national competitions. This year may have just been a preview. The season proved that the future looked bright for coach Stanley Redwine and the Kansas cross country teams. Both the men ' s and women ' s teams were very young, and both showed a lot of promise for the 2001 season. Junior Charlie Gruber qualified for the NCAA Championships individually and finished 61 st in Ames, Iowa on Nov. 20. The Jayhawk men and women will return every scoring runner next season and should move up in the Big 1 2 ranks said assistant coach Doug Clark. We had no seniors in our top 7 this year, and feel really good about that for next season, Clark said. Both teams improved, and we ' re right on the brink of respectability. Freshman Paige Higgins was the top Jayhawk finisher at the District V Regionals, said that the lack of senior leadership hurt Kansas this year, but would pay off in the long run. Having no seniors was hard this year, and that makes next year exciting, said Higgins, Littleton, Colo., freshman. That made us step up more this year, and the juniors really stepped into that role. On the Horizon Higgins and fellow freshmen Lauren Brownrigg and Laura Lavoie established themselves as a strong class for the future. Lavoie led Kansas in every meet except for the District V Regionals. Sophomore Bridget Morissey and juniors Katy Eisenmenger and Eve Lamborn were consistent runners for the Jayhawk women this year. Clark said that even more consistency would be the determining fac- tor for next year. We need more consistency and that comes with experience, said Clark We never had five people run good on the same day. 80 per- cent of coaches around the country would probably also say that, but By Ryan Malashock Photos By Brad Dreier Kansan the other 20 percent are the teams that are at nationals. While the Kansas women are relatively young, a veteran men squad was primed for a run at the NCAA Championships. The junin class of Gruber, Brent Behrens, Pete Prince. Mark Menefee and Brei Blachly would give the Kansas men the strong senior leadership neet ed to succeed. Giving us another year to improve and train will only make i better, said Behrens, Atalissa, Iowa, junior. There is really not an one thing for us to work on in the off-season other than just to keti training hard. Clark said that next year could be the men ' s chance to break om the national scene. Next season could be great for the men, Clark said. With the experience they should make a run at the NCAA Championships. ' ' Mark Men simian Laura I s a-ly and wer look -ct-place.

Burs coming to Ki and qualified Haves TESTING NEW WATERS New Gome A FEW NEW FACES COULD BE SEEN AT THE HELM OF SOME JAYHAWK PROGRAMS THIS YEAR AS FIVE COACHES STARTED THEIR FIRST SEASONS. Doug Dickinson began his first year as the men ' s swimming coach, while Cathy Burgess took over the women ' s team. Both replaced Gary Kempf, who took an administrative position in the athletics department after coaching Kansas swimming for 24 years. Dickinson came to Kansas from Austin, Texas, where he was pool manager and aquatics director at Barton Creek Country Club. Dickinson was also a volunteer assistant for the Texas Longhorns in 1997-98. He pursued his master ' s degree in sports management at Texas while in Austin. Burgess became coach after spending two years as an assistant at Kansas. She was an assistant coach at Davidson before coming to Kansas. During her collegiate career at North Carolina, Burgess was a four-time Atlantic Coast Conference selection and qualified for the 1992 Olympic Trials in the 200 backstroke. I have great confidence in the leadership skills and technical expertise which Cathy and Doug bring to the leadership of the program, said athletics director Bob Frederick of Burgess and Dickinson. Burgess Dickinson Story by Shawn Linenberger Contributed Photos Another coach stepped in for a long-time Jayhawk as Stanley Redwine became track coach in the fall. He replaced Gary Schwartz, who was replaced after serving as men ' s and women ' s coach since 1988. Redwine also replaced Schwartz as cross country coach. Redwine came to Kansas from the University of Tulsa, where he coached track and cross country for six years. Before coaching at Tulsa. Redwine was an assistant for 1 1 years at Arkansas, his alma mater. He was a four-time all-American during his collegiate career as a Razorback. Frederick was also pleased with the future of the Kansas track and cross country teams. He said Redwine ' s experiences at Tulsa and a premiere program at Arkansas were only exceeded by his character. Stanley Redwine is a champion, Frederick said. Redwine The last two coaches entering their first years at Kansas were men ' s tennis coach Ross Nwachukwu and women ' s coach Kilmeny Waterman. Nwachukwu replaced Mark Riley, who took the coaching position at Pennsylvania; Waterman filled the position left by Jenny Garrity, who left to coach at UNC- Wilmington. Nwachukwu became the new men ' tennis coach on Sept. 18, 2000. He was an assistant under Mark Riley for one year. He was also an assistant under Riley five years ago at Drake where Nwachukwu also played collegiately. He compiled four Missouri Valley Conference championships while at Drake and advanced to the 1 994 NCAA Championships in singles competition his senior year. Waterman also had some familiarity with Kansas. She was an assistant with the Jayhawks during 1993-95. Kansas finished 1993 ranked No. 7 nationally and was the Big Eight champion. Waterman left Kansas to coach at Wyoming for four seasons as the Cowgirls ' first coach. Before coming back to Kansas, she was the tennis instructor at the Plaza Tennis Center in Kansas City, Mo. Waterman also had professional success, ranking as high as No. 2 nationally on the Mothers Daughters Doubles circuit with her mother, Jennifer.

LOSING GROUND iheBiellE Because of lacking revenue, the KU Athletics Department axed two men ' s sports: tennis and swimming and diving. A new start turned into an abrupt finish for the Kansas men ' s swimming and diving and tennis teams. First-year coaches Doug Dickinson (swimming) and Ross Nwachukwu (tennis) looked for new jobs after the Kansas Athletics Department discontinued the two sports in intercolle- giate athletics, citing budget problems as reasoning for the deci- sion. Without the prospects of significant additional revenue sources on the horizon, we have no alternative but to discontinue two sports, said Bob Frederick, Athletics Director, on March 4. This was the first team cut since men ' s and women ' s gym- nastics were axed in 1980. Frederick said that three major issues led to the move. First, scholarship expenses during the last three years had added nearly one million dollars to the KUAC budget. Second, the department ' s commitment to equity and compliance with fed- eral law related to financial aid, operating budgets and participa- tion opportunities had greatly increased the department ' s overall cost. Third, since joining the Big 12 Conference, the travel budg- et had increased by 1 1 5 percent. The elimination of the two programs translated into a budg- et reduction of $600,000 for the next year and the possibility of roughly $3.6 million during the next five years. The tennis team had one of the top doubles teams in the nation in sophomore Eleazar Magallan and junior Rodrigo Echagaray, while the men ' s team struggled to last-place finish in the Big 12. But team performances were not factors in discontin- uing the designated sports. I want to make it clear that the elimination of these two sports is not related in any way to performance, Frederick said. Only five other Big 12 teams had men ' s swimming, while eight conference teams had men ' s tennis. While it saddens me deeply to eliminate sports, I want to emphasize that one of our goals in making these budget moves is to help those remaining 1 8 sports and more than 500 student-ath- letes be more competitive in the Big 12 Conference, Frederick said. Slightly more saddened by the move were Dickinson and Nwachukwu. Both coaches were more concerned with their ath- letes ' futures than where they would be employed. I ' m extremely disappointed, Nwachukwu said. I wish the Athletics Department could have found a different solutions to its financial problems. This hurts so bad. It ' s not a selfish hurt because it hurts each and every one of the young men, and (assis- tant coach Elliott (McDermed) are all affected by this. Dickinson also expressed problems with the move. I ' m thoroughly disappointed, Dickinson said. I don ' t like the idea of taking away opportunities from student-athletes who were asked to come here and be a part of this program. Dickinson said he would work to make transition smooth for his swimmers. The department offered to honor scholarships for the duration of the athletes ' education at the University. But the scholarships didn ' t seem to help the shock the ath- letes had. They were destroyed and they all have a million questions, Dickinson said. I can ' t answer them all, but I can do what is needed to get them where they need to go. Nwachukwu shared Dickinson ' s sentiments about the future of his players. Part of my job description changes today, Nwachukwu said. I won ' t be recruiting anymore, but instead I ' ll be doing everything I can do to help these young men find a university that has both excellent academics and an excellent tennis program like the University of Kansas.

TENNIS LOVE The Kansas tennis teams embarked on the season with fresh starts. After finishing a 10-11 season, the Kansas men ' s team began 2001 with a new coach. Ross Nwachukwu started his first season as coach on the men ' s side. Nwachukwu was an assistant last year under former coach Mark Riley. I am excited to be able to carry on the Jayhawk tradition that Mark has con- tinued for the last four years, Nwachukwu said after becoming the ninth men ' s coach in Kansas tennis his- tory. I was fortunate to be able to work with Mark at KU and am very honored that Dr. Bob Frederick has confidence in me to lead this program. I look forward to having a very successful year with a great group of student-athletes. For the women ' s team, Kilmeny Waterman also began her first season as coach at Kansas. Waterman, who was an assistant from 1993-95, returned as the Jayhawks ' coach after spending four years as coach at Wyoming. In her first stint at Kansas, Waterman helped coach the ' Hawks to a Big Eight Conference title in 1 994 when the Jayhawks finished the season ranked No. 7 nationally. I am very excited for this opportu- nity, Waterman said after replacing Jenny Garity as coach last July. I am going to work very hard to build on the strong tradition of tennis at the University of Kansas. It is wonderful to be back at Kansas and in Lawrence. Nwachukwu and Waterman started their tenures with strong players. Men ' s junior Rodrigo Echagaray and sopho- more Eleazar Magallan were named to the Big 12 Preseason All-Conference Tennis Team. This honor shows you that these two young men are holding up the Kansas Tennis tradition, Nwachukwu said. We ' ve always had tremen- dous players representing the University of Kansas and these two young men are continuing that proudly. Echaga ray and Magallan also reached the consolation bracket finals at the Rolex National Intercollegiate Indoor Championships this win- ter. The two Jayhawks defeated the No. 3 and No. 10 doubles teams in the country at the tourna- ment before losing to UCLA ' s Jean-Noel Ginda and Jean-Julien Rojer. For the Kansas women, junior Monica Sekulov began the spring season as the highest ranked Jayhawk at No. 10 regionally. Three other KU players, freshman Tiffany Chang (No. 15), sophomore Cheryl Mallaiah (No. 17) and senior Brooke Chiller (No. 20) were also ranked in the regional singles rankings. The Jayhawks were represented in the regional doubles rankings. Chiller and fellow senior Julia Sidorova had the No. 1 1 position, while Mallaiah and Chang were No. 13. Story by Shawn Linenberger Photos by Jeff Jacobson KUAC The Kansas Softball team may have put itself behind the eight ball to start the season. After finishing last year at 30-32, the Jayhawks played No. 1 UCLA, No. 4 Alabama, No. 6 Arizona State, No. 9 Stanford, 10 Washington, No. 20 Oregon and No. 24 UMass. And along with nonconference teams, the Jayhawks took on ranked Big 1 2 Conference teams, including defending national champion Oklahoma. After starting 5-1, the Jayhawks dropped four games in Las Vegas, the site of the UNLV Classic. However, Kansas managed to salvage a win in the last game, rallying to beat Southern Utah in the late innings. We had a lot of bad fortune this weekend and that is not always a good thing in Vegas, said Kansas coach Tracy Bunge. It was very important for us to take home a win today. It would have been devas- tating to finish the weekend 0-5 after starting the season so well two weeks ago. This win is huge for our confidence and the kids handled a lot of adversity. Big-time Schedule And it didn ' t get any easier for the Jayhawks, as they traveled to Columbus, Ga., for the NCAF Leadoff Classic. The 24-team field was stocked with softball powerhouses, including No. 4 Alabama and No. 6 Arizona State. But the Jayhawks found a way to get through their tough schedule. Kansas lost to Alabama but defeated Arizona State and Umass before dropping a game to Washington. Freshman pitcher Kara Pierce pitched a complete game, three- hit gem, which included five strikeouts for the 4- 1 win against UMass. Tabb (junior catcher Leah Tabb) had a lot to do with it because she would make sure that I was in it on every pitch and she kept me fired up, said Pierce. It feels great to finally break through againsj a ranked team. Kansas softball had the same problems that everyone else in Kansas had in the winter. The cold weather kept the team inside, which wasn ' t a good thing when the games are normally played out side. It ' s really scary that we haven ' t been able to be out on the dir to take ground balls, said Bunge, who was in her fifth season at Kansas. Using the turf inside is great for repetition, but it can als lead to some bad habits. Whatever problems the Jayhawks had with a difficult schedule] and the weather, one thing was for sure: there were no problems within the clubhouse. Junior Shelly Musser said the team ' s excite- ment for the game and unity would see them through. We already have a lot of team chemistry, she said.

He appeared to have the Jayhawks headed in the right direction. After finishing last year ' s Big 12 Conference Indoor Championships in 10th place, the men ' s team finished this year in ninth, less than 10 points out of sixth place. Nebraska, Texas A M and Texas took the top three spots. Kansas senior Scott Russell broke his own Big 12 record with a weight throw toss of 75 feet, 10 inches. The throw was 2 feet four inches better than his previous record and was the world record for the 2001 indoor track season. Fellow teammate Ryan Speers finished ninth with a 55-9 throw. Russell continued a successful indoor season with the throw. It feels great to win the first men ' s final today, Russell said after his record-breaking throw. I definitely knew I had a record. It was mine before and I set it again. I was focusing on coming out and getting a good enough start, which I didn ' t do. I had to change what I wanted to do and come back in the finals and get a good mark. All-American Charlie Gruber also continued an impressive indoor season. He grabbed the first points in the Indoor Championships, finishing in third place in the mile with a time of 4 minute 5.94 seconds. Senior Andy Morris placed second in the heptathlon with a personal best 5,468 points. Senior Andy Tate finished third in the 3,000 meters with a 8:20.84 time. Senior Jabari Wamble finished fifth in the 400 meter dash, while junior Brian Blachly finished 7th in the 1 ,000 meters. Kansas also found improvement on the women ' s side. The Jayhawks finished in 12th place in the team totals last year, but finished this year ' s Big 12 Indoor with 32 points in ninth place. Nebraska also won the women ' s title, with Texas and Kansas State rounding out the top three. Senior All-American Andrea Branson took second place in the pole vault with a 12-6 jump. The effort earned her provisional qualification for the NCAA Championships. Ashley Pyle also competed in the pole vault and finished in fifth with a vault of 11-6 1 4. Senior Sherre-Khan Blackmon finished in seventh place in the 600-yard dash, while junior Katy Eisenmenger finished the 1,000 meters in fourth place with a 2:52.15 time. Freshman Laura took fifth in the 800 meters and junior Jennifer Foster took eighth in the shot put. Overall, Redwine was satisfied with the Big 12 performances. The women did excellent, Redwine said. They did everything that we asked of them. We came in thinking that they could score 3 1 points and they scored 32 points and that ' s great. I think finishing 9th this year from 12th last year is a great accomplishment for our women ' s team. 1 64 Track Far left: Charlie Gruber crossed the finish line at the Jayhawk Invitational, Feb. 2, 2001, in which the Jayhawks hosted 41 teams from around the mid-west.

The Jayhawks were stocked with pitchers and outfielders, and they thought this could be the year good things could happen for them. And from the looks of things, that just might have happened. Kansas raced out to a 6- 1 record before it lost a tight 5-4 game to Northwestern in the Rawlings Tournament. The Jayhawks entered their first tournament having only prac- ticed on an actual baseball diamond twice, but that didn ' t deter them. But you always say in baseball that hope springs eternal, and our plan is still to overcome it and win, said Kansas coach Bobby Randall. And Kansas ' record, which included winning the first four games, was not because teams were rolling over. It was quite the opposite. Every team down there is going to save their best pitcher for us, for the Big 12 team. The same thing happened last week, Randall said, referring to the Round Rock Classic the Jayhawks played in at Round Rock, Texas. When you wear that Big 12 logo, it ' s going to Hawks Hit Home So what was the key to Kansas ' unity? It was senior leadership, according to Randall. The best part of the offseason was that we had seven seniors who were so good in the offseason, Randall said. They ' ve bought into our system and led the rest of the team. Part of that leadership was pitcher Pete Smart, who was the ace of the Kansas staff and who much of the season ' s success depended on. He got the Jayhawks off to a great start in the first game, pitching 6 2 3 shutout innings against Texas Christian. Smart also threw seven strikeouts in the inning. While the quick start was something to be confident about, it by By Zac Hunter Photos by Jeff Jacobsen KUAC no means assured Kansas of a winning season. Last year, th Jayhawks started 8-1, but f inished the season 25-30. Junior third baseman Ryan Klocksien set his eyes on improve ment as opposed to winning every game. If the Jayhawks could better every time out, the winning would come. I think it ' s bigger to get better every time out than to just games, said Klocksien. Last year we started out 8-1. but 1 felt thi; we didn ' t improve every game. In the tournament, you could tell th;i we were doing better each game and we need to keep doing that.

The women ' s lacrosse team praticed at Anschutz Sports Pavilion vearss NETTING WINS 168 Lacrosse The Kansas women ' s lacrosse club would use its fall experi- ence as a springboard into its regular season next semester. The Jayhawks, who returned fifteen members from last year ' s squad split a two game set with regional division rival Truman State. Despite the experience that the Jayhawks have, they will also need to integrate ten new members into the program. Kansas coach Dave Wiley, a former collegiate player at Division III Wittenburg, said that most of his experienced players hail from other states in the Midwest, while inexperienced Kansans learn the game quickly. Our main recruiting areas are St. Louis and Denver, Wiley said. But we also have Kansas natives who pick up the game when they come to college. Although the majori- ty of the Jayhawk roster consisted of Midwestern players, the team would have a goaltender from one of the nation ' s lacrosse hotbeds. Amy Fortney, Syracuse, N.Y., junior, transferred to Kansas from Hamilton College in upstate New York where she did not play for the lacrosse team. However, lacrosse was a required part of her physical educa- tion curriculum in grade school. In the game of lacrosse, it is a challenge to read other team ' s offenses and to keep the defense informed, Fortney said. This team has a lot of potential. The team realized that it must develop unity in order to reach its full potential. A few members of the team were just learning about the transition between playing an individ- ual sport and a team sport. Lacrosse is an excit- ing team sport, said Jill Tisdale, Lawrence junior. It has been a big adjust- ment from the individual game of tennis. Lauren Waterson, Manhattan sophomore, who was on her high school ' s swimming team, said she enjoyed the team atmosphere of lacrosse more than other sports that she had played in the past. Lacrosse has a lot less individual focus than swimming did, Waterson said. It is nice to be a part of a team again. Although they had had some success in previous seasons, Jesse Bird, club president and Olathe soph- omore, said the team would set its goal higher for the upcoming season. The Jayhawks aspired to place second in their seven team division, which also included Illinois, Iowa, Knox College, Missouri, Truman State an Washington University-St. Louis. If the ' Hawks reached their goal of placing in the top two, they would travel to Toledo, Ohio, in the spring for the Women ' s Collegiate Lacrosse League Championships.

The Jayhawks finished the 2000 season ranked No. 20 after missing Central Regional finals by four-tenths of a second. That team defeated then-No. 20 Massachusetts en route to the Knecht Cup. The ' Hawks also won the unofficial Big 12 Conference title for the third straight year. Coming off of that season, Kansas embarked on just its sixth season in collegiate varsity rowing, but with difficulty ahead. The Jayhawks lost 10 seniors to graduation Sara Canfield, Keesha Cravens, Kristi Dubiel, Lettie Ebbs, Stacie Frain, Laura Hubert, Tara Lynn, Risa Petty, Ellen Remsing and coxswain Nikia Rosenberger. Only senior Heather Muir returned with first varsity eight boat experience. Still, Kansas perceived the year as a reloading, not a rebuilding year. In the fall, Kansas won the Sunflower Showdown beating Kansas State 15-11, picking up where it left off last season. We were very pleased to have won the Sunflower Showdown Cup for the second year in a row, said Kansas coach Rob Catloth. As a team, I think we showed a lot of depth even though we did lose the Varsity Eight race. But, it ' s a good start for the spring when everything counts. The cupboard wasn ' t completely bare. The Jayhawks had six seniors on the roster Ali Brox, Julie Geiger, Shannon Gribbin, Angela Kratochvil, Muir, coxswain Jen Page and Alane Thomas. Sprinkle in junior Andrea Buch, and sophomores such as Galina Levin and Jen Van Ruyven, and Kansas appeared to have a quality lineup. So far this season, erg machine times are getting faster overall, Thomas said. If we keep this up we could have a shot at NCAA ' s. Aside from the Sunflower Showdown against K-State in November, Kansas ' fall season consisted of head races, competition spanning roughly three miles under bridges and around curves. Kansas grabbed two silver medals at the Head of the Iowa Regatta in Des Moines, Iowa, in October. The main rowing season took place in the spring with sprint races consisting of 2,000- meter distances. Preparing for the spring season wasn ' t a problem. For the seniors, the rowing rebuilding project was ahead of schedule. I think it ' s going really well, Brox said. We ' re ahead of where we were last year. We ' re better prepared this year than we ' ve been in the last four years. Our underlying goal is NCAAs - KU rowing has never been there. tiotos i route to ite arsity ffiftisti licking up vetything ter-Ali indAlane d Jen Van id. If we ill season Brox oflOOO- ar.

Bn disappointing. I face them again The womei lw of five fj ni Senior co-c DIVING IN Young Jayhawks swam for better performances in difficult conference. The Kansas swimming and diving teams found some treach- erous waters this season. First-year women ' s coach Cathy Burgess saw her team finish in sixth place out of six teams in the Big 12 Conference champi- onships in Austin, Texas. While the women finished the season at 3-5, the men finished 0-6 despite performances by Brian Soria. The sophomore won the 1 ,000-freestyle event in all six of Kansas ' dual competitions. On the women ' s side, Kansas competed with perennial powers Texas and Nebraska. The Jayhawks almost defeated the ' Huskers for the second straight year, losing 125-1 18 in Lincoln, Neb. In the Big 12 Conference championships, though, Texas won the first 17 events on its way to claiming 997.5 points, a confer- ence record. Although Texas used home pool advantage en route to a com- manding con- ference title, Burgess saw Kansas closer to the top in the future. I can ' t be too upset because we had some great races and a number of life- time bests, Burgess said. Obviously finishing in sixth place is disappointing, but we were able to see glimpses of what lies ahead for this program and our young swimmers realize just how close we are from beating those teams, and we will be hungry to face them again next season. The women would lose two seniors next year, but return four of five finalists from the Big 1 2 Championships. Senior co-captains Carolyn Grevers and Jenny Fuller were in their last year as Jayhawk swimmers. Grevers, the school record- holder in the 100 breaststroke was also a 2000 Olympic trialist. She took seventh in the 100 freestyle at the Big 12 Championships and made NCAA consideration time in the 1 00 freestyle and 100 breaststroke for the NCAA Championships. One Jayhawk who would return was sophomore Beth Schryer, who captured fourth in the 1 ,650-yard freestyle. It was just her second 1,650-yard race this season. She also led all Jayhawks with three top-eight finishes at the Big 12 Championships. In women ' s diving, junior Rebecca McFall led Kansas by taking fifth place in the Big 12 three-meter diving competition. She also claimed the consolation championship in the one-meter dive, taking ninth place overall. Men ' s div- ing also had some bright glimpses of the future. Freshman Antoine Lewis reached the championship finals of the men ' s one- meter diving competition in the Big 12 championships. He took eighth place in the finals, while fellow freshman Anthony DiGiacco won the consolation title, good for ninth place. Jayhawk diving coach Kevin Lawrence was impressed with his young divers performances. For Antoine to reach the finals as a freshman is a big accomplishment, Lawrence said. Both guys stepped up as fresh- man and did really well. N Story by Shawn Linenberger Photos courtesy of the Kansan ix unassuming freshmen stepped upon Mount Oread ide-eyed and excited. The transition to college opened countless opportunities and these six took advantage of the offer. Four years later they were named as 2001 Hilltoppers for their outstanding contri- butions to the University and Lawrence. The award honored their excellence in academ- ics ea dership and service. 2001 Hilltoppers shared a singe trait: vision. Though each Hilltopper ' s vision var- ied from Internationa to oca broad to focused they all dedicated themseves to a cause they cared about. By doing so they all made a difference on the Hill and deserve a I ii r place in our collective memory.

INVOLVING HERSELF WITH NUMEROUS ORGANIZATIONS, ACTIVITIES AND A fiill load of classes took extremely good time management. A lot of people ask me ' How do you do it? ' she said. If I do not get my eight hours, I can ' t do what I do. Krebs came to the University wanting to study music. However, she felt as if something were missing in her life. I felt like I really needed to be more involved, she said. I felt disconnected from the University. In the five years that Krebs was at the University, she was involved in 26 activities on campus and 10 activ- ities off campus. She also juggled two majors American Studies and Sociology and a three-year rela- tionship. My boyfriend always tells me that I have far more time and energy dedicated to school and extra cir- cular activities than anyone he has known, she said. Krebs was a major player in the lobbying for public transportation and bike lanes in Lawrence and was a Student Senate senator for four years. She did not consider herself a typical student. After two years of harping, my boyfriend has convinced me to go out with him on a regular basi s. I have kinda had to make an effort to make time with my friends. I am doing better this year, Krebs said with a smile and reminiscent look in her eye. Krebs lived with her older brother, Jesse, who was a composer and graduate from the University, and Mark Bradshaw, Walnut senior and fellow Hilltopper award winner. Krebs said that their living room had been transformed into a demi-recording studio because her brother was working on music for an inde- pendent movie. Mark and I would come home and there would be all these musicians playing live music in our liv- ing room, she said. Aside from school, Krebs was a big fan of mystery novels, movies and going out with her friends. She also took a yoga class, taught by her mother, with her father on Saturday mornings. Krebs said that it was invigorating and helped her become more efficient and reflective with her busy schedule. With all of the club meetings and lobbying, Krebs was thankful for her experiences at the University. I have learned a lot of skills and made connections with a lot of people. I think that it has prepared me for my life for the next 80 years because you know I plan on living until I am 102, she said with a giggle. Story by Mindy Sigle Photo by Todd Barrett . hristi Canon With Music Mentors, she used her talents to foster a love for music in grade school and junior high students. To those whom much is given, much should be returned. According to Martina M. Thompson, project coor- dinator of the after-school program at Central Junior High, Christie Garton lived by this motto. Garton had participated in community service projects since her freshman year, and was a strong believer in using one ' s talents to help others. So, by her own initiati ve, she started the Music Mentors program in Lawrence public schools in the fall of 1999. The program paired musically talented K.U students with grade school and jun- ior high students for an after-school music mentorship. Garton said that she wanted to give less-fortunate students the opportunities she had to take private music lessons. I wanted to give back with a talent that I had, said Garton, who had played musical instruments since she was five. Every child ' s education should have music in it. It was a need I knew wasn ' t being met. Garton also knew that the University was a unique, useful resource to propel her program. KU has so many talented students that can serve as mentors and not only encourage music, but also to encourage younger students to consider college, she said. A lot of kids don ' t have the dream to go to college. Through the program, kids in kindergarten through ninth grade had access to instruction on all instruments piano, guitar, drums as well as voice. Each semester, the group organized recitals at Brandon Woods Nursing Home, which allowed some of the students to play for their grandparents, Garton said. Confident in her talented ensemble and knowing that former President Clinton supported music education, Garton wrote to Clinton to request a recital at the White House. In December, the group was invited to perform for invited guests at the East Room in the White House. One of the student-mentor pairs performed a guitar solo that the student wrote with his mentor. Garton said she hoped the trip would inspire the students. Doing something like that, at that age, I would think anything is possible. In addition to maintaining a 3.96 GPA and orchestrating Music Mentors, Garton found time to devote her efforts to creating a self-defense class for KU women. One didn ' t exist before Carton ' s. Her business savvy, flu- ency in French and interest in international business led her to write the U.S. case study on governments and women in business while she was an intern for the Department of Commerce. The study was presented at the Conference on Women Entrepreneurs in France, which she attended. As for the future, Garton planned on attending law school. But following graduation, she considered doing research in France or continuing work on Music Mentors while working in the area. Eventually, she said she want- ed to work as a consultant in non-profit or international law. Garton remembered reading past Hilltopper ' s achievments and could not imagine herself as one. But she fol- lowed her own advice: If you stay with the things you love and work hard to become the best in that area, you will succeed. Story by Mandy Hay Photo by Lori Amey I - ' He impacted lives locally and across America by connecting students to the community. E.J. REEDY WAS NOT THE FIRST JAYHAWK OF HIS FAMILY. FOLLOWING IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF HIS GRAND- father, father and brother, Reedy arrived ready to make a difference. He worked tirelessly to build organi- zations that connected students to the community. He was the co-director, site leader and volunteer for different Alternative Break trips at the University. These trips were the most meaningful to him out of the 12 activities he was involved with. I really enjoyed the Alternative Break trips because I got to meet so many passionate people, said Reedy, Topeka senior. You get to know people at another level on these trips that you wouldn ' t nor- mally have a chance to. It really changed my perspective on a lot of my views and really on my life as a whole. Reedy was also a director for the Center for Community Outreach. There, he helped implement four new city-wide service events and worked to connect students, the University and community agencies. In making connections with the community, he was mindful to organize them to stay strong after he left. I may not always live in Lawrence, but I feel I have left behind my mark with organizations and with future leaders that will continue to serve the KU and larger community for years to come, said Reedy. To save students money and time, Reedy founded KU Textbook Exchange. Through this, he facil- itated the exchange of used textbooks among students. He also volunteered at Big Brothers Big Sisters. He mentored a 10-year-old boy for a year, and he explained that it helped him manage his life better. It was a lot of fun being a Big Brother; he actually taught me how to rollerblade, said Reedy. It was helpful for me to spend time with him because when I ' m around children, it reminds me to enjoy life and not get too caught up with school. His peers and employers were continually impressed with his ability to give his time and effort to impact individuals and the community. E.J. looks at life as a vast opportunity to help others, said Sally Frost Mason, dean of liberal arts and sciences. He is dedicated to helping improve the human condition with a strong sense of personal responsibility and infectious optimism. In the future, Reedy hoped to work for a non-profit organization or a governmental organization. His life would likely always include supporting and benefiting others because that was his passion. I have learned how important it is to interact with all kinds of people, said Reedy, You have to continuously test yourself to grow and try to keep learning by going out of the normal bounds of life. Story by Jana Caffrey Photo by Todd Barrett rs.He ill ! - fJU Giving the University a good name topped her priorities. WHEN YEMI ADEYANJU WAS DECIDING WHERE TO LIVE WHEN SHE ATTENDED THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, SHE never considered a scholarship hall. Four years later she became the president of Watkins Scholarship Hall. And that decision to live in a scholarship hall became one that she was most proud of during her KU career. I know that I ' ve made an effect, said Adeyanju, Lawrence senior, about her involvement in the hall. Adeyanju ' s influence extends beyond her living arrangement to the rest of Mount Oread and the com- munity. Her activities ranged from orientation assistant and basketball ambassador to Jubilee Cafe volun- teer and Bible school teacher for 1 - to 3- year-olds. She said her most important activity was her position as an orientation assistant. As an orientation assistant, I ' m the first impression of KU people see, she said. And if they have a good experience with me, they ' ll come to KU. Kristin Adkinson, associate director of new student orientation, said that Adeyanju was irreplaceable. Yemi brought a calming, fun and reassuring presence to the staff, said Adkinson. Her sincerity and genuineness were ever present, and she could always be counted on to give more than was asked of her. In addition to her on-campus activities, Adeyanju lent her time to the community. She had been a Youth Friends mentor, a literacy tutor, and she became involved in her church. Trinity Episcopal, by teaching Bible lessons to young children. People who don ' t volunteer are missing out, she said. Tom Volek, associate professor of journalism, said Adeyanju ' s activities made her a leader on the hill. I can tell you, there is no better representative of this university, said Volek. Adkinson also said her instincts told her Adeyanju would be a perfect representative of the University. Yemi is an absolute gem and her work ethic, virtue and sensitivity are beyond reproach, she said. Story by Mandy Hay Photo by Todd Barrett He welcomed new experiences and savored each moment of helping others. REACHING OUT TO NEW AND PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS WAS AN IMPORTANT PART OF CURTIS SLOAN ' S daily life each year at the University. He maintained a position as a K.U Ambassador for four years and also assisted in New Student Orientation and International Student Services. He helped students become acquainted with campus and Lawrence, hoping to get them involved in campus activities. I really enjoyed being an Ambassador because I didn ' t want new students to make mistakes I made by sitting in their dorm rooms all day, said Sloan, Powhattan senior. I think it ' s important for more people to get involved because it helps in meeting new people and allows you to get more out of your col- lege experience. Curt was described by his employers in International Student Services as being an effective com- municator and having a great ability to relate to and make new international students feel comfortable. Our new students the last two fall terms loved it when Curt taught them to sing the Alma Mater, said Dr. Joe D. Potts, Director of International Student Services. We didn ' t ask him to do that; he volun- teered. His efforts to assist others did not end on campus. He attended the 2001 Alternative Spring Break trip to New York City to work with AIDS victims. During the 2000 elections he was a legislative intern for Barbara Ballard. His involvement in that election saturated his passion for politics and could prove to be valuable in his future career. In five years I hope to be doing some kind of public service, maybe I will run for a government- elected office, said Sloan. I also think I would enjoy teaching at the University level or working for a Congressman. I think I would learn a lot from a job like that. While he didn ' t consider himself heroic and spoke of only having been to five states, his peers and employers called him a true professional who continuously reached out to connect with people. Perhaps one of Curtis ' greatest qualities is that he is a risk-taker, said Kristin L. Adkinson, Associate Director of New Student Orientation. He is willing to open himself up to new ideas, to chal- lenge his beliefs and attitudes, and to look at issues from all angles. As he prepared for graduation, he looked back to see four years of meaningful experiences, which he hoped would prepare him for law school and his future career. The most important thing I learned in college was to get the most out of college and life. You have to open up to new experiences, said Sloan. We have to make the conscious effort to see new things and savor the experiences we are going through everyday.

MARK BRADSHAW HAD LET HIS LOVE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT LEAD HIS COLLEGE CAREER. LIKE A GROW- ing tree, Bradshaw has expanded his knowledge and activism within his five years at the University of Kansas. The main thing is that I pick things that I love, said Bradshaw. It ' s a break for me to do gardening and play with kids. Bradshaw was the co-founder of the GROW Community Garden Project at the Center for Community Outreach (CCO). With this project, he gave children who came to the Lawrence Boys and Girls center a chance to help the environment. Bradshaw said that they had had a steady crop of chil- dren signed up for the project. CCO was also looking to include more elementary schools around the city. It is good for conveying the love of nature that they wouldn ' t get in class, he said. Volunteerism had been the basis of Bradshaw ' s college career. He went on four trips with CCO ' s Alternative Breaks program, participated as Community Service chair in both the All-Scholarship Hall Council and the Grace Pearson Scholarship Hall and was involved in numerous environmental programs. With these programs, I am learning things that are more applicable, said Bradshaw. In 2000, Bradshaw won the Harry S. Truman Scholar award in public service and the Morris K. Udall Scholar award in environmental policy. Coming from the small Kansas town of Walnut, and being the youngest of nine siblings, Bradshaw was, at first, overwhelmed by the University. It wasn ' t long till he realized that he had to embrace it. He found himself meeting friends, one of whom was fellow Hilltopper Holly Krebs. The two became close because they were involved in the same things. Sophomore year (Holly Krebs and I) just about killed ourselves being involved in everything, he said. We bounced new ideas off of each other for things to be involved with. All the involvement and busy schedule paid off for Bradshaw, who will be working in Washington D.C. for a year in the Department of Agriculture. Bradshaw saw all of his involvement as educational virtue. Some things you learn from a book and sometimes it doesn ' t match up with your experiences in the real world, he said. I feel like I really know how the University works and that I have really lived in Lawrence.

Down the Boulevard in a tiny office Center for Community Outreach members enthusiastically prepared for Alternative Spring Break. More than 350 organizations created the backbone of invovement at the University of Kansas. KU students could focus their view of the University by finding their niche in these organizations. Those with concerns about politics the environment the community health diversity reigion or women ' s issues could find a home in a KU organization. Even those with obscure interests such as sketch comedy or gospel choir had an outlet. More than simply addressing student concerns KU organizations encouraged a proactive college experience. Invoved students made their marks on the University and the Lawrence community by joining fellow students to expand their horizons and make a difference. Drive and dedication offered KU students and inside look at the University.

Editors ' notes f Creating a book that is sup- posed to sum up one year of college life for 25,000 students is no easy task. Add hard-to- reach sources, an all new staff and an editor who has never before put together a publica- tion of this magnitude, and you get one stressed-out editor. I have to say that it was the most challenging part of my career, but I am thankful for that. Fall semester was a tumultuous time for me, and I found refuge in holing myself up in the office for six- to- seven hours at a time. I had great aspirations at the beginning of the summer, but by the end, I was concen- trating on just getting it done. After not being hired until mid-September, with the first deadline fast approaching, I began the struggle to catch up with things that should have been started the April before, like hiring the staff, cre- ating a theme, designing templates and planning for events. I had no idea of what I was getting into. Because classes were our first priorities, I understand that things couldn ' t always be done at the exact time I wanted them. OK, so we missed a few deadlines, well, all of them, and we hardly put in our combined 20 hours a week necessary to keep our office, but that doesn ' t mean we didn ' t work ardently when we had to. Mandy: Sometimes I think I hogged the work, but then I thought that no one really likes to work, so I just did it. I don ' t know if this upset you because I left you out of some of the decisions, but you pulled through for me. You wrote the division copy, put up with my harassing you about harassing the sororities and fraternities to turn in their house pictures, and when I left town for a week, you suffered your own nervous breakdown during deadline. Thanks for everything. Jana Mindy: You two were the backbone of the book. You start- ed it off and got me prepared for what I needed to do next. I don ' t think we were all in the office at the same time, but I know you were there and did your work well. I enjoyed listening to your gos- sip, which made me laugh when I was taking myself too seriously. I wish I would have gotten to know all of you on a more personal level. Matt: Great job in creating ads and getting our name out there. Hey, whatever happened to the Website you were supposed to create? Tyler: Glad I didn ' t have to deal with the finances, too. A tax form, what ' s that? I never wanted you to tell me what I could and could- n ' t do for money ' s sake, but in the end, it turned out all right. Todd: You were just some kid who brought in his high school port- folio in the middle of one of our meetings, but you turned out to be the key element in pulling us together. I know you had like 17 biol- ogy and physics honors labs to work on and you still were able to take half the pictures in the book. I can ' t say thanks enough. Danny: Where would I find pages to send without you?! Always on time, hardly needing edits, a pleasure to work with - if you ever need a recommendation letter, I ' m your woman. Listening to the radio at 5 p.m. on Fridays will never be the same without you. I ' m glad we were able to rock out together. Shawn: I know I wasn ' t in on your little friend name-calling deal but I would call you my friend any day. I ' m sorry we couldn ' t have gotten to know each other, although, there was that button-pop- ping incident that still embarrasses me to this day. Way to pull through for me at the end - 1 appreciate your work. Andie Di Edit OK, I ' ll admit that there were times this year when I wondered i agreed to return... and take on more responsibility. I am always thankful at the end of the year that I was a part of this process capturing life in a 300-page book. What I can see from my bird ' s eye view is that we assembled an extremely talented staff, and I must give them all much love. It always amazes me to see the fin ished product, and you guys will love it too. We did it, guys, and hey, at least we get our names embosse on the book and no one else does. Isn ' t that incentive enough Andie: Thanks for t; ing on the responsibi ty. I know we were la most of the time, but Ithink it turned out pre Ity well, don ' t you? W Jmade a good team, land I think we both Ineeded each other. I (wouldn ' t wish this on anyone as a solo project, would you? Didn ' t think so :) But seri- ously, your design is really great and you should be proud of it!! Jana: I owe you everything for taking on Student Life. But I knew you ' d do an excellent job, just like you always do. I don ' t think realize how intelligent and talented you are. I know you will go so far and do so much good. I ' m lucky to know you! I ' m glad you decided to work on this with me; you made dad proud! Just think, four years ago we wanted to start our own magazine, and now we ' re published. It ' s not called Awesome, but it ' s close! You are the greatest person in my life, and I will miss you more than you will ever realize when May busts us. YB Love 4-Eva. Todd: You saved us. We would have been lost without you! Than you so much for tackling this job; we appreciated you more than you realized. I think you might be the only one of use who wasn ' t expendable! Your photos were awesome, and I hope you never give photography up. You certainly have a gift. Good luck for the rest of your time here on the Hill. Shawn: Friend, I know that 428 Kansas Union was the last place you wanted to be. But remember, it ' s YOUR Union. I want you to know that your efforts never went unappreciated.

Without our organization, the book would have never been finished and e Jayhawker would be MIA for the year.

Matt thanks for getting the word out about the yearbook and how wonderful it is. Also, thank you for your personal support and guid- ance through my many guycapades. Shawn Thanks for dealing with all of the sports stars of KU. We all know how hard that is. Keep up your dancing at the Yacht Club. Danny Those damn ever-changing current events. Hey, next time you see me in Louise ' s you can buy me an amaretto sour. I also owe thanks to all of the many writers and photographers that offered their talents to the Jayhawker. It wouldn ' t exist if it weren ' t for your help. I guess this isn ' t much of a taste of what the real world is like, but we have many real memories to remind us of our humble begin- nings. Mindy Sigle Campus Life Edit I ' ve always gotten a kick out of getting paid to write stories. I ' ve never had the pleasure of working on a yearbook staff before this, and I ' m amazed at the amount of work and planning that goes into it. I was only responsible for my own little news section, and I cer- tainly didn ' t envy the job of my editors, Andie and Mandy. I have great admiration for what they I had to go through to make this yearbook a reality. You guys were basically on your own and you persevered. It didn ' t go unnoticed, at least by me. Thanks for being such great friends. I hope when you guys make it big on a major news- paper or magazine that you don ' t forget me. I ' ve been pol- ishing my resume. Danny Phillips News Editor From the moment Hay begged me to work on the ' Hawker with her this year I knew I was in for a superb adventure. It was a rocky road, but I was delighted to apply the YB skills I had been neglect- ing since my high school days. We had some good times in our 10 by 12 office (with a view of the spankin ' new garage) and by some miracle produced a kickin ' yearbook with one functional computer. Now that ' s an extraordinary deed! Andie: Thanks for being our editor and having confidence in us to get the job done! It was a crazy trip but we got it done. Cropping pictures is an art, especially when you try to do it freehand. Too bad we found the good cropping pencils a few months too late! HA! It really is amazing we got this book finished! Take care and good luck! Mandy: I ' m so glad you dragged me into the chaos that is the Hawker. In the end it was transformed into a beautiful butterfly mainly because you ' re a star! The evenings and weekends we spent in the office cranking out spreads were quite special, partic- ularly when Dave joined us. We really need to talk to someone about changing the name of the book to the Hayhawker. I think we did a pretty good job considering our devotion to the other campus publication. I can ' t even articulate how much I will miss you when we leave the hill. Thank you for everything Hay. Mindy: Girl, you crack me up. I don ' t know what I would have done without your operatic singing during some of those first dead- lines. We whipped up a pretty fabulous campus life section with almost no free time between us! We ' re all that. Shawn: Friend, we had so many good times this year inside and outside of the Hawker office. I will never forget the chair-breaking incident. You do make me laugh! Thanks for being our Sporto, especially during second semester when you were big stuff at the Kansan! Did you say BAG PHONE??? Good luck Friend! I will miss you greatly. Danny: You are the king of news. Thanks for being so punctual with your stories all the time! Your hard work made our job much easier! I also have to give props to you for being the master of the front page of the Kansan all spring semester. You rock! Trent: Guyer, all I have to say is you are da bomb diggity! Thanks for all the time and effort you put into the book, I know you were busy with Marketing and BM stuff all year. Don ' t forget about me when you are the CEO of a certain insect company! Take care homie! Todd: What can I say? We are forever in debt to the amount of work you put into this book. If I had the power I would crown you King. Thank you for being so patient and diligent. I know you took over for Guyer at such a busy time and I am so grateful for that! Good luck with everything Todd! Matt: You really are an Ad Wiz. Thanks for all the time you put into advertising the book! Sorry I was sucked away from the cre- ative side. Maybe someday I can manag e the products you write for! Good luck and take care! Tyler: It was delightful to work with you and to get to know you...l had heard so much about you from my roommate! Thanks for being patient with us and making sure that all of our reporters and photogs were paid. Good luck Mr. Business! Warisa: You are a great writer. Thank you so much for writing so many stories for me. I was blown away with your writing style and I ' m sure you will be a great asset for any paper you chose to work for! You are such a sweet person and I ' m glad I got to get to know you this year. Take care and keep smiling! Zac: Our trusty sporto reporter, what would we have done without you? You can whip up stories like no other. Should we have been surprised with your abilities? I mean, you do drive a family sedan. Thanks for everything. I hope our therapy sessions were as enjoy- able for you as they were for me. Good luck with everything on whichever coast you end up on! Maybe we ' re a little less sane, but we got the book finished! Bird ' : Eye View is a pretty phenomenal idea if you ask me! Jayhawker 2001 rules! Jana Caffre Campus Life Editc A path between the Kansas Union and Stauffer-Flint Hall has forever marked by the steps of my size 13 shoes. My sports duti involved time at the Kansan as associate sports editor and at the Jayhawker as sports editor. Luckily I was able to recruit Kansan sportswriters to this publication as well. I hope their stories will remind Jayhawks of 2000-01 Kansas Athletics down the road. This wouldn ' t be possible without the Sportos. Ifc ' meMffieyw ::; Zac Hunter: Holycow!!! That ' s somethin ' else m ' friend. Your relentless work in providing numerous sports stories is extremely apprecitated that ' s what I ' m talkin ' about. Michael Sudhalter: Thanks for your willingness to crank out sto- ries that we re a change of pace for the yearbook. To Sarah Warren: Once a sporto, always a sporto. Your feature track story was superb. Your talent shows that there ' s no reason for you to cross over to news writing. Shawn Hutchinson: Thanks for covering for me at the Kansan when, um, deadlines were looming at the Jayhawker. Thank you for always being there for me. Jason Franchuk: Thanks for bringing your experienced writing tc the yearbook. Hey look, your name ' s in here twice now. Booner Soomer!! Andie Darr: Thanks for leading us and for your patience. Hope you have some left. Danny Phillips: You probably think you ' re big stuff because the story about Roy staying is in your section. It ' s probably best it was a major news event. Jana Caffrey: Friend. From that time when we had delivered Kansan newspapers at Meadowbrook on that murky day, you always were willing to help me out when I needed it, whic h was most of the time. That pertains especially to the Jayhawker. You were great at splitting time between Kansan advertising and Jayhawker editing and writing. Good times, neat fun. Trent Guyer: Hello Trent GUUUUUyer. I enjoyed the discussions of our rural Kansas roots. If we tried really hard, we could eventu- ally talk about someone who happens to be a mutual friend from the sticks. Good luck in Moundridge. The reunion between a vil- lage and its cell phone will be great. Thank you for getting the photo side of the yearbook on its feet in the first semester. Todd Barrett: You did a fine job stepping in as the spring photo editor. You were asked to do a great deal and you answered ever task promptly. Thank you for your help in the sports department. Mandy Hay: Last and far from least. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be the sports editor. What were you dooooing? limed out tote a jr jjfc starts year.

My roommate, Matt, ' old me that they were looking for a Business Manager and that I would be great for the job. I have never really been involved with organizations on campus and so I figure that I would give it a go. It turned out to be a great decision. I have had a lot of fun with the staff this year. First going into the job, I thought that it would be farely easy. I mean, I would write some checks, pay some bills, and do some budget work here and there. Oh no, not at all as ' easy as I had anticipated. However, it was better than anticipated. While my actual work with the making of the yearbook was limited, i can still say that I learned a lot about it. I saw the entire staff 5 yearbook.

Tyler Baker Business Manager on that murky day, you en I needed it, w h = : College is truly a microcosm of life. In the beginning, we are brown into a world that was considerably brighter and more hectic than the life had grown accustomed. There are so many things to learn and decipher, and as soon as you think you have figured it out, it is all over and a new challenge emerges. The Jayhawker fits into this scheme perfectly. As a lowly freshman stumbling through the union, I though it would be interesting to take photographs for the yearbook. It seemed like a good way to get involved and earn some of the spending money that all college students never seem to have. When I got the job, I received a few assignments from the photo : editor, Trent. They were difficult at first because I didn ' t know exactly how things worked on the staff and exactly what Andie was yoyforownS jJoo c ' ng for. After a few phone calls, the photos were taken and d for your patience. Hop Hire big stufl because tl Son J ' s probably best- ansam imes, neat fun. r I enjoyed the discuss = hard, e could e to be a mutuall tank you for 9 9 ' in the first semester. everything fell into place. At semester, after only one or two months on the staff, Trent left for a position at the Kansan. I was asked if I wanted the position as photo editor. I agreed, and Bam!, an onslaught of photo assign- tments rolled in. Our final deadline was cut, so nearly half of the [sports, all organiza- tions, the scrapbook, ihilltoppers and division photos were due in lone months time. Mixed with a schedule consisting of physics, chemistry II, and hon- ors biology, I thought I was going to go insane. Taking baby steps, all the various tasks were accomplished and the first chapter of my collegiate yearbook career had come to an end. Although I finally have things figured out, the new challenge is emerging. I am the only member on the staff who is returning next year. I would like to thank everyone on the staff who has assisted me in the transition this year, especially Jana, Mandy and most of all Trent, who, although not on staff, bent over backward to assist in any way possible. Todd Barrett Photo Editor It ' s been quite a year, hasn ' t it? Apparently the world has NOT ended with the millennium shift; Jesus has not come back to judge the living and the dead; and the four horsemen have not reared their ugly heads. Therefore we have had to put away our Welcome Aliens, take us away signs and recycle them into XFL signs - be prepared to recycle them again. We have survived two season of Survivor, go figure. I hope all of the Y2K merchandising fad did not break anyone ' s bank account. Of course, I say this while listening to my Willennium mp3, by Will Smith, that I down- loaded off Napster, start to party like its 2099, and watch my mil- lennium countdown sign click off the centuries, decades, years, days, hours, minutes, and seconds until the next millennium. However, since the world has not ended, my time as the Marketing Director of the Jayhawker Yearbook had to continue. While trying to sell yearbooks and coordinating the advertising, I have learned that owning a yearbook is uncool, to the general KU population, which has me puzzled. I know I ' m preaching to the choir on this, but the yearbook is a great timepiece and what better way to show your kids what you looked like at the millennium shift? Maybe peo- ple are afraid some of the stories might provide dirt on them for future blackmailers? Maybe people have a preconceived notion that the yearbook is only about the Greek community? I ' m sorry, that ' s called the Oracle. The yearbook is University of Kansas as a whole, plus news that has gone on in the world that year. I ' m just .saying be proud of your school, Ibe proud of your memories, and Ibe proud of the events that hap- Ipened in 2000-2001, or at least Iknow your past to survive the next (millennium. iGood luck, God ' s speed, and Jkeep on partying like it ' s 2099! Matt Thomas Marketing Director A few people still milled about on campus at the end of another day waiting for the bus or a night class. Photo by Todd Barrett you ' ve made it this far in the book we thank you. At the awker we abored for months searching for just the right ange at which to display the University of Kansas.
