CLAS diferential tuition possible
Incoming dean is working on a proposal for a differential tuition system for improvements
t CLAS
By Tom SlaughTer
tslaughter@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Students in the College of Lib-
eral Arts and Sciences may have
to start thinking about their tu-
ition rates increasing in the com-
ing months, a trend common in
other professional schools.
Joseph Steinmetz, the incom-
ing dean of liberal arts and sci-
ences, is working on a proposal
that would make the college the
final professional school to ac-
cept a differential tuition system.
The college voted down a similar
proposal in 2004, proposed by
then-dean Kim Wilcox.
Todd Bradley, Wichita junior,
said he was unhappy about the
idea.
We pay tuition to take classes.
I dont understand why you have
to pay another fee, Bradley said.
Differential tuition is a system
used to raise money for various
improvements. Amenities like
classroom technology, money to
hire more faculty and funds for
student projects are all allowed
through differential tuition in
other professional schools.
William L. Eakin, vice provost
for administration and finance,
said that a proposal is going to
require research from Steinmetz.
The dean of the school has
to prove that he has the support
of the students in the school for
differential, Eakin said. He said
that Steinmetz will have to com-
municate with as many students
as possible.
The proposal would have to be
sent to the Board of Regents in
order to be approved, and Eakin
said the University could not go
to the Regents without strong
student support.
He said that
the proposal
would have to
be put together
by March 1,
2007, because
proposals were
made to the Re-
gents by May 1.
Eakin said
that there were
approxi matel y
300,000 credit
hours taken per
year in the col-
lege, so while
no proposed in-
crease has been made, the college
would stand to earn a significant
amount of money. The School of
Journalism has the lowest dif-
ferential tuition fee among the
Universitys professional schools
at $12.50 per credit hour, while
other schools
have fees
higher than
$100.
One con-
cern that stu-
dents might
have about the
increase in tu-
ition is that
tuition rates
for the Univer-
sity as a whole
are increasing
yearly, mean-
ing students
might already
be seeing amenities that have al-
ready been paid for.
The challenge is after five
years of KU already spending,
students would feel like they
dont need to pay for things they
already have, Eakin said.
However, that doesnt mean
students wouldnt be in favor of
an increase.
Is there something that stu-
dents in the college would get
excited about to say Yeah, I want
that? Eakin said. I think its
possible that theres a package
they would support.
Jon Southern, Shawnee senior,
said that while he doesnt like the
idea, he would pay what was nec-
essary.
I ll pay whatever theyre go-
ing to raise me. I need my de-
gree, and its too close to worry,
he said.
Steinmetz and Wilcox were
unavailable for comment.

Dining services across the Uni-
versity of Kansas campus are getting
a makeover this summer.
Some of the updates include
new food choices and expan-
sion to The Market in the Kansas
Union to help relieve congestion.
Along with the already existing
Brellas Sandwich Crafers, AFC
Sushi and Pizza Hut, Te Market
will also ofer fve new venues with
everything from Chipotle-style bur-
ritos to a pasta bar.
Te Corner Bakery, one of the
new additions, will ofer bakery
items from both Joes Bakery, 616 W.
Ninth St. and Miss Mollys Mufns.
It will take the place of Freshens
Smoothie Company and Pulse
Cofee Bar, both of which will move
to the fourth foor of the Kansas
Union.
Sharing the area with The
Corner Bakery
will be Garden
Gourmet,
which will pro-
vide hot panini
sandwiches,
soups and a
salad bar.
Eri Kirib-
ayashi, Japan
senior and em-
ployee at The
Market, said
he was looking
forward to
the changes,
especially the
addition of the
salad bar.
You want
a variety, espe-
cially if you eat
here every-
day, she said.
Im defnitely
excited about
more food choices.
Some of the new features at Te
Market will replace similar selec-
tions. Boulevard Grill will serve
hamburgers and chicken sandwiches
in place of Burger King.
Taking the place of Pepperstix will
be Quesarito, which will serve burritos
and quesadillas. Next to Quesarito will
be Fresco Cuisine, the pasta bar.
In addition to additional food op-
tions, Te Market is also expanding
to help decrease congestion during
busy hours.
Originally, there were six
cash registers that were spread
throughout The Market. With the
expansion, all six registers have
been placed together next to the
exit.
Along with the renovations to
Te Market, KU dining services has
also created a new convenience in
Hashinger Hall to help with stu-
dents busy schedules.
The Studio, which will be lo-
cated in Hashinger, will offer grab-
and-go options with late-night
hours. It will be open Monday
through Friday 10 a.m. to 4:30
p.m. and also from 7 p.m. to 1 a.m.
Te Studio will ofer Brellas
Sandwich Crafers, Hot Stuf Pizza
and burritos. Along with the food
options, Te Studio will also have a
convenience
store.
Tere will
be many
open seating
arrange-
ments, such
as a freplace
with sof-
seating
around it and
an outside
deck with
tables and
chairs, Nona
Golledge,
associate
director for
KU residen-
tial dining
services,
said.
For
entertain-
ment, dining
services
added a stage for poetry readings,
guitar playing or anything else,
Golledge said.
The Studio wasnt designed to
take students away from Mrs. Es,
located in Lewis Hall, according
to Golledge. She said the idea was
that they would complement each
other.
Its just another location where
we are trying to ofer late-night
service, Golledge said.
Along with renovations to Te
Market, Te Underground in
Wescoe Hall is adding Freshens
Smoothie Company, which will be
adjoined to the cofee bar.
Golledge said Freshens Smoothie
Company was so popular in Te
Market that they wanted to bring it
to Te Underground.
In addition to the changes
to The Market and the Under-
ground, the Westlake Deli and
Market on the third floor of the
Union will become a Miltons
Cafe. There is already a Miltons
coffee bar on the first floor,
which will remain in the same
location.
Te new Miltons Cafe is designed to
resemble Miltons, 920 Massachusetts
St. David Lewis, owner of Miltons,
wants to hang student art in the cafe
and has planned a similar menu.

Enroll & Pay upgrades in progress
clubs GEar stolEn
Theft leaves jugglers without vital performance gadgets
tom Slaughter
tslaughter@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The Enroll & Pay system is be-
ing upgraded, which will make it
easier to use for students, faculty
and parents.
Te upgrades are focused on al-
lowing easier navigation through the
Web site for users.
Martin Maina, Kenya graduate
student in International Studies, said
that the system didnt have many
problems for the most part, but that
sometimes its difcult to log in to.
Bob Turvey, associate admin-
istrator for Student Success, said
that while the current system was
considered cutting edge in the
spring of 2003, they knew that the
system was not what it needed to be
in 2006.
Sheri Phillips, information sys-
tems analyst for the Ofce of Stu-
dent S\uccess, said that the current
version made it difcult for users to
access all of their information be-
cause they had
to follow difer-
ent links to view
each piece of
data.
Te self-
serve aspect was
not the most
user-f ri endl y,
Phillips said.
With the new
version, users
will be able to see
all of their academic and personal
data on one page, as opposed to hav-
ing to follow links to view each piece
of information.
The page will include informa-
tion about enrollment, gradu-
ation and class schedules, as
well as addresses and telephone
numbers that each student gave
to the University. Turvey said
that students
holds will
be displayed
more clearly
in the up-
dated version
because stu-
dents often
dont follow
links to find
out about
their holds,
and during
enrollment periods they are in-
formed that they cannot enroll
in classes.
Tats been very frustrating for
people, Turvey said.
Another feature in the updated
version will allow students to select
which classes they want to enroll in
before their actual enrollment ap-
pointment. At the time of the ap-
pointment users will simply press
a button and, assuming the classes
arent full, enrollment will be com-
plete.
Turvey said that about one or
two dozen schools have already
made the upgrade, but that the
University was still ahead of a sig-
nificant proportion of academic in-
stitutions across the world in terms
of updating the current version. He
said that feedback from other insti-
tutions that used the new system
had been positive.
While the system will become eas-
ier to use, the improvements havent
come without a price.
Turvey said that the University
originally bought a yearly contract
for the sofware with PeopleSof,
which has since merged with Or-
acle, for approximately $145,000.
However, when making the deci-
sion for an upgrade, the University
had to pay an upgrade lab $70,000
for initial work and a group of con-
sultants $20,000 for additional work
last summer.
Turvey said that while he does re-
ceive complaints many of which
are from parents students have
not been negatively outspoken about
the system.
I think its fne the way it is, Brent
Pitts, Olathe sophomore, said.
Tat doesnt mean however, that
an upgrade wouldnt be benefcial.
If its going to be more user-friend-
ly, all the better, Maina said.

The morning of June 4th be-
came a day of surprises for the
University of Kansas Juggling
Club and the individuals who
stole their belongings.
Justin Gramarye and Brad-
ley Barger, two members of the
club, were in Omaha, Neb., when
someone broke into Gramaryes
Toyota Camry and stole $4,000 in
belongings.
The stolen items included
a unicycle, a laptop and four
bags containing balls, beanbags,
torches, devil sticks and cigar
boxes.
The men were the only mem-
bers of the club who attended the
Flatland Juggling Festival in Ne-
braska.
Gramarye, treasurer of the
club, said he thought the laptop,
which was in plain view of pass-
ersby, may have been motivation
for the thieves.
I think they thought the bags
were something they could sell,
then they opened them up later
and went, Ah, Gramarye said.
Tio Duermeier, club president,
said the theft occurred between
9 a.m. and 10 a.m. when the club
members were in a park throwing
boomerangs.
Duermeier, who was not pres-
ent in Omaha, said the club was
at a loss without the items. The
club has 11 members who per-
form at various locations around
the campus and Lawrence.
The club had previously bought
equipment with funds from Stu-
dent Senate
at the end of
the spring se-
mester. The
thieves stole
the equip-
ment that was
p u r c h a s e d
with the
funds given
to the club by
Student Sen-
ate.
We had
all that we
just got, Du-
ermeier said.
Then we lost it all.
Gramarye said the club planned
to ask Student Senate for more
funds, but would have to wait
because it happened while Stu-
dent Senate was out of session.
He said he had no idea what to
expect because the items were
stolen.
If the club received additional
funding from Student Senate,
Gramarye said it would definitely
replace the stolen items.
However, Gramarye said if
Student Senate didnt give them
additional funds the club would
come up with the money on its
own through fundraisers and ad-
ditional per-
formances.
It will hap-
pen eventually,
Gramarye said.
Te stu-
dents reported
the thef to the
Omaha police
department, but
Gramarye and
Barger said they
werent expect-
ing anything.
Due r me i e r
said the club
received a do-
nation of $10 from a woman who
said she heard about the robbery.
People have contacted us say-
ing they want to help out, Gram-
arye said. Its great.

Erika Hirano, Japan graduate stu-
dent, grew up in a house full of teach-
ers. Next spring when she completes her
thesis, Hirano will join the familys tra-
dition as a foreign language educator.
Hiranos father is a professor of
European classical music at a univer-
sity in Japan, and her mother taught
piano lessons out of the home.
Hiranos maternal grandparents
were also teachers. Her grandmother
taught university-level nutrition and
her grandfather taught high school
history. Her uncle on her mothers
side is also a high school teacher of
chemistry and physics.
Hirano said that being around so
many teachers growing up infuenced
her decision in becoming a teacher.
She said by being around family
members students she learned how her
relatives treated them, which helped her
improve her teaching skills.
Hirano came to the United States
from Kanagawa University in Japan
six years ago for a cultural exchange
program. She spent one year at the
University of Kansas, then returned
to Kanagawa University for her se-
nior year and graduated with a major
in English and a minor in education.

Manrique Cartin, Costa Rica senior,
said he rarely gets sick. But this summer,
hes been visiting Watkins Memorial Health
Center, east of Robinson Center, more fre-
quently because of a sore throat and irri-
tated eyes and nose.
His allergies were worse at the beginning
of the summer, but Cartin said hed noticed
things foating around lately, and thought that
might have had something to do with it.
If you can see stuf, Cartin said, I think
its pretty bad.
Allergens in the air vary constantly, but this
year has had higher-than-average amounts of
tree and grass pollen, said Dr. James Ransom,
an allergist at the Allergy and Asthma Clinic
in Topeka, 1123 S.W. Gage Blvd.
In addition to the pollen, outdoor mold
is also negatively afecting people, the worst
of which was a mold called alternaria,
Ransom said.
Agricultural or soil mold is one of the most
prominent allergens in the air, especially be-
cause of the wheat harvest, which tends to
scatter mold spores into the air, he said.

Hirano said she had always
wanted to come to the United
States, and afer her study abroad
experience, she decided she want-
ed to stay.
She said the culture was so
different, and that she enjoyed
the experience because she
learned something new every
day.
Te American culture ap-
pealed to her because of events
she saw in magazines and movies
while growing up in Japan.
Te portrayals of America
in magazines and movies made
me think that I could do certain
things in America that I would be
unable to do in Japan, she said.
People always want what they do
not have.
Afer graduation, Hirano
worked a few part-time jobs for
two years, before returning to the
University to earn her masters
degree in Foreign Language Edu-
cation.
She has completed two years
in her program and will start re-
search on her thesis Te Ben-
efts and Difculties in Utilizing
Japanese Songs for Acquiring
Japanese Pitch as a Second Lan-
guage in the fall.
Hirano, a graduate teaching
assistant in the east asian lan-
guages department, teaches el-
ementary and intermediate Japa-
nese at the University, but taught
high school English when she
lived in Japan.
Hirano said she prefers to
teach college level, because she
can concentrate solely on the
languages.
In middle school, high school,
there are a lot more things to do
besides teaching one subject, she
said.
Hirano said she receives
satisfaction from teaching
through her students and their
enthusiasm in learning Japa-
nese.
I really like teaching because
students are really motivated, she
said. Teyre taking Japanese be-
cause they want to take it.
Hirano hasnt decided if she
will stay in the United States or
return to Japan afer her thesis is
completed.

Ransom also said that ragweed
a weed very prominent in
this area was particularly
problematic to allergy suffer-
ers.
Ben Combes, Inman senior,
said that his allergies have lasted
longer into the summer than nor-
mal.
Combes said that it was in-
convenient for him because
hed be sitting in class and his
nose would start running. He
said he always had to carry tis-
sues with him.
Actually, its kind of embar-
rassing, Combes said.
People who have never
had allergy symptoms before
could usually tell the differ-
ence between those symp-
toms and other illnesses. Al-
lergies were usually coupled
with itchy eyes and nose, and
fevers were often an indica-
tion of a cold or flu, Dr. Rob-
ert Brown, staff physician at
Watkins said.
Matt Milburn, Rogers, Ark.,
senior, said that whenever hed
been outside hed been sneezing
more than usual and his eyes were
watery. He said that if he didnt
take medication frst, hed sufer
all day.
His symptoms didnt even exist
before this summer.
I dont like it, Milburn said.
Ive never been a big pill per-
son. Its just another thing I have
to add to my list of things to do
every day.
And the pill taking may not
stop. Ransom said tree pollen
reflects the moisture from the
previous year, and with this
information people could
assume that the fall weeds
would be troublesome as
well.

Jacob Shipley, 2001 alumnus and former manager of The Crossing
A local bars future is uncertain af-
ter the sale of its property June 19.
Manhattan attorney, Robert Pot-
trof, a Kansas Law graduate, bought
the property that houses Te Cross-
ing, 618 W. 12th St., from Lida Mar-
tin according to Dave Boulter, owner
of Te Crossing.
Pottrof did not return repeated
calls.
INTENTIONS
Pottrof has indicated that he in-
tends to tear down the building to
build a fve-story residential complex
with retail stores on the bottomfoor,
Boulter said. Te Crossings owner
added that some things would need
to change for that to happen, includ-
ing the sale of the property next to
it, occupied by Yellow Sub and Head
Rush. Some zoning laws would also
have to change, Boulter said.
At this point, that is all speculation.
Pottrof has not bought the YellowSub
property. Te Crossing still belongs to
Boulter and zoning law changes are
only being discussed by the city.
I dont know whats going to hap-
pen, Boulter said.
If Yellow Sub lef its current loca-
tion at 624 W. 12th St., it would be
the sandwich shops decision, Bob
Jones, Yellow Subs owner said.
Jones said he had a long-termlease
with the property owner Jef Morrow
and as far as the future is concerned,
nothing has changed.
Jef said its business as usual,
Jones said, indicating that Morrow
continues to tell him that he doesnt
want to redevelop the corner of 12th
and Indiana streets.
As far as Jones is concerned, noth-
ing is really going on. Te developer
is exploring opportunities, he said.
Before Pottrof purchased the
property, Boulter was in negotia-
tions with a group of people to sell
Te Crossing. Andrew Lynn, a 2001
Washburn University graduate who
now lives in Orlando, Fla., was one of
those people. Lynn spoke on behalf
of the group Beanies Crossing LLC.
Lynn and his partners were still
considering purchasing Te Crossing
and operating it as long as the lease
would allow. A decision could come
this week, he said.
PETITION
University of Kansas students and
Lawrence residents have spoken out
about the possible demolition of Te
Crossing for an apartment complex
in an online petition created by Rob-
bie Gieser, Andover sophomore.
Gieser started the petition afer
reading about Te Crossings pos-
sible fate. He said he did it because
nobody else had.
Gieser said that he thinks Law-
rence, or any town for that matter,
should keep the things that make it
unique and historic.
If this could sway the new own-
ers to keep it running, that would be
something truly special, Gieser said.
More than 4,700 people signed
the petition, which has since been
disabled and is no longer available to
be viewed or signed.
Boulter isnt as concerned about
the future or legacy of Te Crossing
as those who signed the petition. He
described Pottrof as the atypical de-
veloper because hes not a bottom
line guy. He looks beyond the num-
bers, Boulter said.
I think hell do whats practical
from a real estate point of view, but
fnd a way to do something from a
sentimental point of view, he said.
Boulter said he thought it would
work out for everyone and people
would be pleased with the way it
turned out.
A BIT OF HISTORY
Te Rock Chalk Caf known
today as Te Crossing has endured
fve other names and several changes
in ownership and numerous changes
to the type of establishment it has
been since it frst opened in 1923.
One thing has remained constant.
Te little watering hole at the corner
of 12th and Indiana streets has al-
ways been a favorite of KU students,
alumni and Lawrence residents.
Te land where Te Crossing now
sits was once the site of the Univer-
sitys campus stables. Students rode
their horses up 12th street, which
was the least sloped street leading up
to campus. Tey would leave their
horses and walk to class, according
to Jacob Shipley, a 2001 alumnus and
former manager of Te Crossing.
Its been a watering hole for both
students and horses for some time,
Shipley said.
What is now known as Yellow
Sub began when Te Crossing was
called Te Flagship International
in the mid-1970s. At that time, Te
Crossing was remolded so the front
resembled the back of a ship, Shipley
said. Yellow Sub moved to its current
location in the late-1970s.
Te Crossing has also seen a num-
ber of diferent types of clientele walk
through its door. Its been a hippie
bar, a punk bar and a fraternity and
sorority bar during its time, Boul-
ter said. He added one of the goals
when he and his partners bought Te
Crossing was that they wantedit to be a
bar that all types of personalities could
coexist in. It was important to themto
do away with any type-casting.
Tere are no stereotypes, Boul-
ter said. No one group dominates
Te Crossing anymore.
LOST MEMORIES
With the future of Te Crossing in
doubt, in doubt also are the memories
that could have been created there.
Aaron Blair, Leavenworth senior
and manager, who has been a bar-
tender at Te Crossing for the past
three years has heard a number of
stories while standing behind the bar,
which is littered with so many years
of signatures and drawings, it might
as well be grafti.
He said people would come in
who were 70 years old and say, Yeah,
I remember this place.
A man proposed to his wife and
they both wrote their name on the bar,
he said. Tey came back afer they were
married and cut of the piece of wood.
Te Crossing is as much of an in-
stitution as anything else at KU, Tony
Esparza, a 2001 alumnus said. Its hard
to know that nothing is how it was
when you went through.
Esparza said he used to live two
blocks away on Ohio Street and would
stop by Te Crossing on his way home
fromclass on Fridays.
Lisa Meinen, a 2005 alumna said
Te Crossing was close enoughtocam-
pus that a student could grab a beer be-
tween classes.
What other bar is on the bus line?
she said.
Blair said its a tradition thing. He
imagined visiting Te Crossing when
he returned to campus for a football
game or to see friends.
Im not going to have that, Blair
said, adding that it wasnt just him, but
the whole University that would miss
out. People are going to walk by and
talk about what happened. Teyre
going to say Te Crossing used to be
here.

BY DAVID GERMAIN
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES Superman
may not be the worlds greatest su-
perhero at the box of ce, but the
Man of Steel still fares well.
Superman Returns took in
$52.15 million over opening week-
end, lifing its fve-day total since
its debut Wednesday to $84.2 mil-
lion, according to studio estimates
Sunday.
That puts the Warner Bros.
film ahead of the premiere of
last years Batman Begins, an-
other Warner superhero revival,
which took in $48.7 million over
its opening weekend and $72.9
million in its first five days. But
Superman Returns finished far
behind Sonys Spider-Man 2,
the record-holder for best five-
day openings, with $152.4 mil-
lion over Fourth of July weekend
in 2004.
Te weekends other new wide
release, 20th Century Foxs Te
Devil Wears Prada, debuted far
stronger than expected to come in
second with $27 million. Industry
analysts had expected the movie,
starring Meryl Streep and Anne
Hathaway, to debut at less than $20
million.
Te previous weekends No. 1
movie, Sonys Adam Sandler com-
edy Click, fell to third place with
$19.4 million, raising its 10-day to-
tal to $77.9 million.
Hollywoods overall revenues
rose for the seventh straight
weekend. The top 12 movies
took in $140.1 million, up 5 per-
cent from Fourth of July week-
end last year. If estimates hold, it
would be the second-best Fourth
of July weekend ever, behind the
$158.4 million haul in 2004, ac-
cording to Paul Dergarabedian,
president of box-office tracker
Exhibitor Relations.
The first big-screen adven-
ture for the Man of Steel in
19 years, Superman Returns
traces the comic-book heros
homecoming after a mysteri-
ous five-year absence. Played
by newcomer Brandon Routh,
Superman finds lady love Lois
Lane (Kate Bosworth) has a son
and a new man in her life, while
archenemy Lex Luthor (Kevin
Spacey) has hatched a plot to
control the world.
Directed by Bryan Singer, who
made the blockbusters X-Men
and X2: X-Men United, Super-
man Returns earned favorable
reviews. A Superman fan since
boyhood, Singer passed on doing
a third X-Men to make Super-
man Returns afer Warner let him
throw out previous Man of Steel
scripts and start from scratch with
his own story.
Bryan is just such a bright and
creative individual. He had his
own vision, and he was right and
did a great job, said Dan Fellman,
Warner head of distribution.
Te movie should hit $110 mil-
lion by Tuesday, Fellman said.
Superman Returns had big
returns in 76 huge-screen IMAX
theaters, most of which ran the
movie incorporating 3-D foot-
age in many action sequences.
About $5 million of the films
grosses came from IMAX the-
aters.
The Devil Wears Prada,
adapted from Lauren Weisberg-
ers best-selling novel, stars Ha-
thaway as an aspiring journalist
who reluctantly takes a job at
a top fashion magazine, where
she works for a tyrannical editor
(Streep).
The movies audience was
four-fifths women, who turned
out in far bigger numbers than
20th Century Fox had predict-
ed.
I dont know what to say. Tis
is beyond my expectations, said
Bruce Snyder, the studios head of
distribution.
Estimated ticket sales for Friday
through Sunday at U.S. and Cana-
dian theaters, according to Exhibi-
tor Relations Co. Inc. Final fgures
through July 4 will be released to-
day.
1. Superman Returns,
$52.15 million.

Te NCAA has awarded the Uni-
versity of Kansas a CHOICES pro-
gram grant, which is a program that
promotes alcohol education and
prevention on college campuses.
It demonstrates that students have
choices to make about responsible
alcohol consumption, Mary Wilfert,
NCAA associate director of educa-
tion outreach, said.
As one of the 15 grant recipients,
the University will receive $30,000
paid out in increments of $15,000,
$10,000 and $5,000 over the next
three years. According to the NCAA
Web site, about $3.85 million has
been awarded since the program be-
gan in 1991. Wilfert said Anheuser-
Busch partnered with the NCAA
to fund campus-wide prevention
eforts and contributed an initial $2
million to start the program.
Te goal is for the University to
fnd other sources of funding for the
program by the time the three-year
period ends, Susan Hofman, Stu-
dent Union Activities advisor, said.
Were going to, along with every-
one else, change the culture of ideas
about alcohol at KU, Hofman said.
While the NCAA awarded the
grant, it does not only apply to stu-
dent athletes, Hofman said. She
added that she thought the grant
was awarded to the University be-
cause it branched out past the ath-
letics department.

ganizations that will work together

Summer is in full swing and that
means a few summertime traditions
are in order: Grotesque heat, base-
ball and weddings.
And given that this time of year
is the slowest of the sports calen-
dar, Im going to share with you a
little trip I made to Tiger Town, aka
Columbia, Mo., this past weekend
to participate in a wedding, which
had both the intensity and aura of a
championship tilt.
For starters, my connection to the
wedding was my cousin, Dan Davis,
the groom the opening day start-
er if you will. Dan played football at
Mizzou for three years and four of
the eight groomsmen were former
Mizzou footballers as well.
Yeah, eight groomsmen, needless
to say, the average height and weight
of this wedding party compared fa-
vorably to any other wedding party
in America that day.
So where was I in the pecking
order? Te best man. My job? Well,
considering this was the frst time Id
ever been in a wedding, save for my
stellar performance as a ring bearer
20 years ago, I didnt really know.
Tis is what I was told: take care
of the groom, hand a ring to the
priest and give a toast at the recep-
tion. I could do that.
But while that all sounds so
simple, theres a lot to consider. Tis
is the biggest day of the bride and

with other departments to develop programs
to educate and promote responsible choices
about alcohol consumption. Te depart-
ments include the Student Involvement and
Leadership Center, Ofce of Multicultural
Afairs, Department of Student Housing and
New Student Orientation. Hofman said the
money would be spread equally among the
departments involved.
Programs like Hawk Nights, an activity or-
ganized by SUA, is an example of a program
designed to give students an alternative to go-
ing out drinking and is an example of the type
of program that will be funded by the grant,
Hofman said.
Campus administrators, faculty and staf,
coaches, student leaders, student athletes
and especially the Student-Athlete Advisory
Committee, a group of representatives from
all 18 varsity sports, would participate in all
aspects of the program.
Mike Harrity, coordinator of Student-Ath-
lete Development, co-authored the proposal
with Melissa Smith, former manager of the
Wellness Resource Center at Watkins Memo-
rial Health Center. Harrity and Smith were
unavailable for comment.
Each University names its program. At the
University, the program will be referred to as
Rock Chalk Responsible CHOICES.

grooms lives in most cases. As the best man,
you have to make sure that nothing goes
wrong, i.e. no drunken escapades the night
before the wedding, no losing the rings before
the wedding and without question, youve got
to nail the toast.
Te toast is like the bottom of the ninth.
Teres two outs and youve got one more guy
to get out and then its celebration time. Tears,
champagne and people are singing your praises.
Screw it up? Ten youre remembered as
the guy who was the lone bad spot in what
was an otherwise perfect day. And for as long
as that wedding is remembered, or anniver-
saries as they tend to be called, its always
brought up.
Tat sure was a great wedding until Fred
gave that awful speech about the goat-tipping
at the reception... What the hell was that?
So that was it for me. Dont ruin the wed-
ding. Months of preparation by people who
have a much deeper interest in the day than
me are leaving it up to one guy to seal the deal.
Wow.
Saturday. Wedding day. Game time.
Te wedding went of without a hitch. Te
I dos were fawlessly executed, tears were
shed and the rings were handed to the priest
as smoothly as a Trent Green to Larry John-
son exchange.
Ten came the pictures. Uhh, those were
more like two-a-day practices. You have to par-
ticipate, youre not really happy about it but you
know it was worth the efort afer its over.
Afer the pictures came the trip to the re-
ception. While we had some transportation
issues arriving to the reception late it was
okay because all the while Im getting into
closer mode... My time to shine is coming.
We arrive at the reception. Te place is
packed. Te lights are dimmed and were
welcomed in with the opening music from
the Chicago Bulls introductions... Te atmo-
sphere was electric.
People took their seats, some food was eat-
en and then the moment of truth came.
Toast time.
Te brides closer by committee maid and
matron of honor went frst, putting more
pressure on me. 1-2-3 inning. Sat em down
in order! Te ladies did a fabulous job with a
poem that they both recited and told stories
that melted the coldest of hearts.
Now it was my turn. I grabbed the mic con-
fdently and delved into a quick two or three
tales of Dan and mys hardships growing up,
sofening the crowd before I hit em with the
100 mph heater a 14-line sonnet rhyme
scheme intact that I penned that morning.
Teir bats didnt even make it of their
shoulders. Frozen.
Hands clapped, more tears were shed and
champagne was toasted. A celebration fol-
lowed and I retired to the showers... well, I
retired somewhere.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. It didnt take
much coaxing from President Bush
to get Japanese Prime Minister Ju-
nichiro Koizumi to croon some Elvis
tunes Friday at the king of rock n
rolls Graceland mansion.
Youre a pretty good Elvis singer,
Bush told Koizumi, an avid Elvis Pre-
sley fan.
Tat was all the prodding the free-
wheeling prime minister needed.
Love me tender, love me sweet,
Koizumi sang.
We need a karaoke machine,
joked Priscilla Presley, mother of
Presleys only child, Lisa Marie. Koi-
zumi donned a pair of sunglasses
that Elvis wore in the 1972 concert
flm, Elvis on Tour, and hugged
Lisa Marie. Hold me close. Hold me
tight, he sang to her.
Ten Koizumi bent down, swung
his arm as if strumming a guitar and
sang, Glory, glory, hallelujah, a re-
frain from the Battle Hymn of the
Republic, also part of the Presley
repertoire.
Te visit to Graceland was the
highlight of the outgoing Japanese
leaders two-day visit with Bush, a
kind of sayonara summit to illus-
trate how their personal friendship
has helped bring U.S.-Japan relations
closer than at any time since the end
of World War II.
Tis visit here shows that not
only am I personally fond of the
prime minister, but the ties between
our peoples are very strong as well,
Bush said.
It was Bushs frst visit to Presleys
white brick mansion.
My frst visit, too, Koizumi said,
standing in a gaudy, wood-paneled
den known as the Jungle Room, a
place where Presley hung out with
his buddies. Its like a dream with
President Bush and Presleys daugh-
ter.
Bush, frst lady Laura Bush and
Koizumi drove through the gates of
Graceland in a shiny, black limou-
sine adorned with the fags of both
nations. It was as if they were making
a formal diplomatic visit.
Afer they got out, the scene
turned surreal.
Here was Bush, who didnt stop of
at the Taj Mahal while in India, tour-
ing the home of a music star who
died in his bathroom of heart disease
and drug abuse in 1977.
Instead of walking down red
carpets to review troops, Bush and
Koizumi strode over green shag that
lined the foors and ceiling of the
den.
Instead of elegant furniture and
chandeliers, they posed for photos
in a room decorated with white ce-
ramic monkeys and wooden chairs
with armrests carved in the shape of
animal heads.
Graceland was closed to tourists
when Lisa Marie and her mother es-
corted the dignitaries around the 14-
acre estate, showing them the glossy
black baby-grand piano, a 15-foot
white sofa in the living room, Pres-
leys burial site and his gold records,
guitars and costumes.
Bush and Koizumi werent al-
lowed to peek at the private quarters
upstairs.
It was all Elvis all day.
Along with anti-war protesters
along the motorcade route, four El-
vis impersonators in white jumpsuits
sang Dont be Cruel in the Inter-
national Fund for Animal Welfares
protest to urge a halt to illegal Japa-
nese whaling.
Elvis tunes were playing over the
public address system aboard Air
Force One as Bush and Koizumi few
here. Elvis movies were available
upon request.
Bush was in such a good mood
that he bought a round of lemonade
for some members of the traveling
press.

(March 21-April 19)
HHHH After the recent
happenings, you will be
pleased to settle down and
relate to one person instead
of a group. Frustration deal-
ing with a friend or trying to
force your way might not be
worth it.
Tonight: Quality time with some-
one you care about.
TAURUS
(April 20-May 20)
HHHH Pressure might force
you to want to stall. You might
not even want to go to work, or
you might want to vanish out
of the limelight. Whatever you
choose is fne and A-OK. Some
time away from the pressure
might be just what the doctor
ordered.
Tonight: Say yes.
GEMINI
(May 21-June 20)
HHH Pace yourself. What oc-
curs in the morning might sim-
ply be a preview of what lies
ahead. Wanting to step away
from problems is a very nor-
mal reaction. Dont put yourself
down and allow these events to
unfurl.
Tonight: Get some extra R and R.
CANCER

HHHH Money matters could

A risk could be ill-advised. Walk
the conservative path.
Tonight: Easy does it.
LEO
(July 23-Aug. 22)
HHH Extremes punctuate your
mood and decisions. Many peo-
ple might tell you what is going

it. Think positively. Your temper
easily rages if you feel attacked.
Maybe the motives involved are
different.
Tonight: At home.

HHHH If you choose to kiss di-
plomacy goodbye, any addition-
al fourish could add to the fery
nature of the situation. Facts,
just facts, dear Virgo. Handling
uncomfortable feelings could
be a different issue.
Tonight: Take your time.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
HHH Your expenses could
easily get out of whack. You
might want to think more care-
fully before you leap into ac-
tion. Hassles greet those who
are unwilling to get past their
problems. Someone could be in
a bad mood. Know when to step
out of the line of fre.
Tonight: As you like.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
HHH Investigate what might
be happening with others.
Pressure builds as you juggle
home and family. You have a
lot to do, but perhaps you still
want to take your time han-
dling different issues. Preci-
sion goes far.
Tonight: All smiles.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
HHH Take your time and think
rather than walk into a pro-
vocative situation. You might be
better off working behind the
scenes or closing your door.
Though you might not be able to
be as expansive as you would
like, you still get a lot done.
Tonight: Get some extra sleep.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
HHHH You might be ready to
move on a key project or bring
friends together. Someone
key to this operation might be
dragging his or her heels. Use
this slowdown to positively en-
hance what you have in mind.
You can never be too sure of
yourself.
Tonight: Have a good time with
friends.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
HHHH Take a step forward
and assume a leadership po-
sition. Though you could deal
with some touchy or negative
people, you easily get past
any hassles. You deal with
someone directly, though he
or she might not be able to
understand where you are
coming from.
Tonight: A must show.
PISCES
(Feb. 19-March 20)
HHHH Take the high road.
Think positively about a new
break or different approach.
You could pressure yourself
even more than necessary.
Know when to cut back and
say enough. You have style and
know-how.
Tonight: Take in a different per-
spective.

SPOTLIGHT: Pat Green
At 8 p.m. on Sunday, July 9, Pat Green will take the stage at the Beaumont
Club in Kansas City, Mo. Green is continuously increasing in popularity as he
tours with artists such as Kenny Chesney, Gretchen Wilson and Keith Urban.
Te country artist has appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman and
has also been featured in magazines including People and Esquire.
Green, who is originally from Texas, didnt begin his singing career at
the top of the celebrity ladder. Instead of immediately shooting for fame
and fortune, Green took a common-appeal approach to his job. Playing live
performances to win the support of fellow Texans, Green was able to gather
a group of loyal followers. His wish was to produce independent albums.
Tis aspiration led him to sign his frst major label contract with a company
in New York. Green was able to have more freedom with his songs by select-
ing the smaller label.
During his contract in New York, Green recorded his frst fve albums:
Live at Billy Bobs Texas, Tree Days, Wave on Wave, Dont Break My Heart
Again and Lucky Ones.
Recently, Green signed with BNA Records and is now striving to make
his name known to everyone. Even though he has received three Grammy
nominations and is going to be touring with the Dave Matthews Band in
August, Green still hasnt reached as many people as hed like to. Greens
new album, Cannonball, will be hitting stores this August. Feels Just Like It
Should, the frst single from the upcoming album, was the highest-debut-
ing single on the Country Charts this year, making its appearance at No. 32.
If this is any indication of the albums success, then Cannonball should give
Green the extra push he needs to achieve the level of major country star.
Te show is open to all ages, and tickets cost $19.00. Tickets are available
through ticketmaster.com or by calling (816) 561-2560.
