KJHK settles into new home

Since May 6, KJHK has been broadcasting from its new studios on the third floor of the Kansas Union. Tom Johnson, general manager and program adviser said the KJHK staff is using the summer to find a balance between their old rock n roll headquarters, The Shack, and their new, cleaner home.

before, Johnson said. You basically had a couple mics somewhere else but you couldnt really just kick it over and quality-wise it wouldnt be as good. Johnson said the KJHK staff has already received feedback from listeners on the improved sound quality. Listeners say it sounds huge-er. Its just as loud as any commercial station, Johnson said.

The music library in the new KJHK studios is lined with CDs and vinyl records, not unlike the library at the Shack. Its a consolidation and expansion of our previous operations, Johnson said. The music library is a multipurpose room. It should give us plenty of space in the long term. The room is also used as an instudio performance space. Two and a half years ago, the KJHK staff began a digital archiving project that has been completed and will launch in the coming months. Most of these CDs have been backed up on a digital format so that you can do a search that links to all of our reviews, Johnson said. Were going to bring that online this fall.

walls in the new studios replaced broken turntables and graffitipacked doorways in the Shack. Still, Johnson said the staff planned to retrieve some pieces that had nostalgic rock history. Were trying to figure out whats the best way for us to bring some of our old personality into this new space because we basically started with a blank canvas, Johnson said. One of the main differences between the Shack and the Union studios is the ability to be seen by viewers. With thousands of people passing through the Union, Johnson said the station has become more integrated into the KU community. Youre part of something bigger rather than youre sequestered at the end of campus in a small building, Johnson said. And a small building that albeit is extremely cool is not necessarily functional or reliable.

Wait... WHAT happened?!


BATAVIA, N.Y. It wasnt on the menu, but customers at a western New York restaurant got an up-close look at some venison on the hoof. Management and customers say a deer crashed through a window at an Applebees in Batavia just after 7 p.m. Sunday. Customer Bruce Beck, who was visiting from Wisconsin, says the deer nearly slid into the booth next to his before veering away and running through the restaurant. Witnesses say people were able to herd the deer out the front door. No one was hurt.

Police said four customers in a vehicle at a Wendys drive-thru lane midday Saturday claimed their order was incorrect. Police said they hurled drinks, hamburgers and fries at an employee inside. Police said the employee then threw food at the vehicle, hitting it with a drink, ketchup and fries, and two people from the vehicle went inside the restaurant, where they fought with employees. Two of the customers were arrested on charges of assault. The employee had scrapes and abrasions, but didnt need medical attention. Police said employees blamed the fight on a communication breakdown.

We are required by law to change the ordinance, if were going to have one, to incorporate those provisions that are stricter as defined by the state. Miller said the aspects of the Lawrence ordinance that were defined by broader terms in state law would remain intact. State law more narrowly defines smoking near access points, banning smoking within a 10-foot radius of a doorway or window. This provision has significant implications on downtown business owners who dont have the property necessary to accommodate regulations and maintain outdoor smoking areas.

I honestly think it should be up to the business owner, but I also understand the rationale behind wanting to protect people from secondhand smoke. Tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable disease for smokers, but Bruner said it also had significant drawbacks for nonsmokers. He said secondhand smoke was highly associated with cardiovascular risk, and in cities with similar indoor smoking bans, the risk of heart attack decreased by 15 to 25 percent. The University has defined its own smoking regulations since 1993. Though Lawrence adopts the 10-foot provision, the University requires smokers to maintain a distance of 20 feet from doorways.

Suburban staycation replaces pricey travel


y older brother is in South Africa for the World Cup. My little brother is about to go to the Dominican Republic. One of my friends is headed to Spain next week, and another just got back from China. So you might think Id be a little bit jealous that I will spend 100 percent of my summer living in my parents house in Kansas. Nonsense.

with a part-time, minimum wage budget. For example, itd be great to visit an authentic South American pueblo (Im a Spanish major, dont worry

about it), but its also expensive. But put on a sombrero, make a quick Taco Bell run, and flip on a Telemundo soap opera and itll feel like a fiesta in your own living room. While Kansas might be short on exotic natural destinations, a little creativity can go a long way. Grab a couple of blow-up rafts from the kids section of any department store and head to any of Kansas many creeks during an intense Midwest thunderstorm. After about 20 minutes itll feel just like the Amazon rainforest during monsoon season, at least until the clouds clear up and you

start hearing little girls ringing their bicycle bells just beyond the trees (which is a total buzzkill). Even your own bedroom can be turned into an expensive vacation. Just set the air conditioning about 85 degrees like my parents insist on doing, set up a mosquito net above your bed, and every morning feels like waking up in a hut somewhere along the equator. Thanks, mom.

Studying abroad develops self-confidence

hat better place start things off than in Bonn, Germany: headquarters of Deutsche Welle, Germanys international broadcasters, and my home for nearly five months last spring. By the time this column is published, Ill hopefully be recovered from jet lag and have partially regained my yearlong-dormant German skills. Ill have retraced my favorite path along the Rhine River and have made my way to James Joyce, a lively Irish pub in Bonns city center. Nostalgic sentiments aside Ill save the rest for my blog my return to Bonn also reminds me of the indispensable experience I gained from studying abroad here last year. To the advantage of KU students, study abroad ranks high among the Universitys priorities. The University ranks 11th nationally in study abroad participation, according to a report by The Institute of International Education.

Foreign Telegraph

By michael holtz
mholtz@kansan.com Over 25 percent of KU undergraduates have completed study abroad programs. A wide variety of programs and readily available financial aid makes it possible for many students. For an aspiring foreign correspondent such as myself, the benefits of studying abroad seem obvious. I returned to Lawrence with improved language skills, months of travel experience and a fresh global perspective. Yet participation in a study abroad program provides benefits outside of academic and career development. A study published in 2004 found that 96 percent of students who had studied

abroad noticed an increase in selfconfidence. Ninety-seven percent of those surveyed said studying abroad served as a catalyst for increased maturity. I couldnt agree more. There are few experiences Ive had as liberating and overwhelming as when I stepped off the plane at Frankfurt International Airport last March. Allow me to explain. With the exception of driving between Topeka and Lawrence, I had never traveled by myself until my transcontinental flight from Kansas City to Frankfurt. I landed in Germany feeling tired, anxious and alone. After some initial confusion at the train station in Frankfurt, I was on a two-hour train ride to Bonn. I arrived with a backpack the airline had lost my luggage and it wouldnt arrive for another week and the address of the Bonn Universitys International Club where I was to check in. I filled out the paperwork, picked

up some handouts, and received my housing assignment. Once I was finished, a driver dropped me off at my apartment. After 24 hours of constant traveling, I had finally made it. In a sense, I was home. I matured quickly that first day. The sudden realization of being 4500 miles from home in an unfamiliar country without friends or family would have the same effect on anyone. I also noticed an immediate rise in my self-confidence. Speaking a language I only partially knew with people I had never met required it. The language-learning experience was often frustrating and sometimes even embarrassing. In the end it was all part of the study abroad experience, the same one that allowed me to return to Bonn as mature and confident as ever.

Engineers seek redemption in California


BY RICHELLE BUSER
rbuser@kansan.com After unforeseen complications during its last competition, the Jayhawk Motorsports team has a chance to redeem itself this week at a Formula SAE competition in Fontana, Calif. The team is comprised of University students who design and develop a race car throughout the school year. Students from around the world unite to compete in Formula SAE competitions where they can showcase their projects. The Jayhawk Motorsports team placed nineteenth out of 102 teams at the Michigan Formula SAE competition in mid-May. Tim McClintock, power train team leader and 2010 engineering physics graduate from Council Grove, said there was a reason they didnt place higher. We had our gaskets fail in Detroit, but we figured it out before and swapped in a spare engine. We didnt realize the spare engine was already damaged, McClintock said. Those engine issues forced the team to miss two events of the competition. Despite complications, the team finished in the top 10 in the design, presentation and endurance Ryan Waggoner/KANSAN categories. James Borner, a sophomore from Durango, University of Engineering Communications Coordinator Cody Colo., and Tim McClintock, a 2010 graduate from Howard said he is confident the Council Grove, work on Jayhawk Motorsports team will have better results at the SAE Formula 1 car at their lab in Learned Hall last week.

Sacred Journey hits another bump in the legal system


By Janene Gier
jgier@kansan.com Just as the K2 chaos seemed to quiet, Sacred Journey experienced more legal trouble this time in the form of a hefty tax bill. Officials entered Sacred Journey, 1103 Massachusetts St., Thursday morning to confiscate a Chinese herbal supplement and money, and to tax Sacred Journeys owner, Natalie McAnulla. Matthew Rader, a sophomore from Kansas City and employee of Sacred Journey, said the tax bill was more than $300,000. McAnulla said the pills, called Que She, were confiscated because they contained a banned ingredient she was not aware of. Apparently it has fenfluramine in it. They told me this. They just came in and took it all and drug taxed me 200 dollars per pill I had in stock. They took every penny I had in the store from the safe to the change box. The FDA removed fenfluramine, more commonly known as Fen-Phen, from the market in 1997 because of the potential risk to the heart. Rhonda Janke, an associate professor of horticulture at Kansas State University, said she wasnt familiar with the herb Que She. If its known for weight loss there might be a good chance the herb does contain the fenfluramine compound, Janke said. Que She is touted on many websites, such as Bouncingbearbotanicals. com, for its weight loss effects, but the product is no longer available for purchase. Bouncing Bears Botanicals, which sells products such as salvia and hallucinogenic mushrooms and formerly sold to Sacred Journey, could not be reached for comment. Id say about the store in general that theyre kind of looking to fulfill a demand for legal highs essentially and any situation where you are doing that is very grey legally, Trey Regan, a junior from Wichita, said. Regan said this kind of thing makes people expect that Sacred Journey will be shut down. He said hes not sure that people should be selling those kinds of things to any willing customer. Lydia Shontz, the Sacred Journey manager, said she arrived to work about 15 minutes after the officials showed up last Thursday and said they didnt leave until about 3 p.m. The store remained closed for the rest of the day. Cary Engle, owner of neighboring Englewood Florist, 1101 Mass., said it was a slow summer day and he didnt know officials had entered and closed Sacred Journey that day. The last time they came, there were police cars lined up around the corner. I havent noticed anything going on over there today, Engle

he Big 12 held meetings in kansas city, mo. this week and one of the proposals that surfaced involved six members of the conference to move to the Pac-10. athletic director Lew Perkins didnt attend the past three meetings because of a schedule conflict, but he is not worried about where the state of the Big 12 is headed. Based on a considerable amount of work by commissioner dan Beebe and others, Perkins said in a release Friday, I am very encouraged as these meetings end about the strength and viability of the Big 12 conference. I respect the candidness of everyone who attended these meetings. we engaged cooperatively in a positive manner to work toward the goal that I think everyone wants, and I can say that I feel very good about the future of the Big

what does this mean for kansas?

Tuesday, June 8
he Big 12 was still intact, but its future remained shaky. much was discussed, but definitive answers about the future of the Big 12 were hard to come by. Big 12 commissioner dan Beebe just showed his optimism that the conference would retain its current members. I am comfortable, he said during a press conference following Fridays meetings. There is a process that were going through, but based on the conversations that weve had, I think were in a good position. among the schools in consideration to join the Pac-10 are Texas, Texas Tech, Texas a&m, oklahoma, oklahoma state, and either colorado or Baylor. kansas, kansas state, Iowa state and either Baylor or colorado whichever gets left out of Pac-10 talks would have to find a new location if this Big 12 blow-

12. we at kansas athletics know that the Big 12 is one of the best conferences in the country, and we are confident about its future. I appreciate all of those at ku who have worked very hard to keep the Big 12 at the forefront of intercollegiate athletics. we all must stay patient and let this process take its course, but at the end of the day I am convinced that the Big 12 will remain, as it is today, a national leader. among the schools in consideration to join the Pac-10 are Texas, Texas Tech, Texas a&m, colorado, oklahoma and oklahoma state. chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little was kept abreast on the situation as well. Lew has kept me informed as these meetings progressed. I share his optimism about the Big 12 and look forward to working with my colleagues to ensure a strong future for the conference.

up happens. Right now, speculation has the jayhawks going to the mountain west or possibly to a yet-to-be formed super conference if they should be left out. Beebe said he had several reasons to be confident that the league would remain as is, namely because of the strength the Big 12 shows every season. I dont blame those other conferences for looking at our institutions, he said. Theyre valuable institutions with a lot of great history and tradition and could add a lot. But I think that we have a compelling case for why these 12 should stay together. He said the Big 12 would like to explore options to expand the league, even though he said 12 teams seemed to be the appropriate number.

10 teams by coming out at the eleventh hour with promises of massive television contracts in 2011. What happened here yesterday was the most positive news that our league couldve

possibly got, Bill Self said, but even more so, from a selfish standpoint, the University of Kansas couldve had. But the question now must be posed: Whats next for Kansas?

First and foremost, it can stop worrying about winding up outside a BCS conference. Second, it will drastically alter the Kansas schedule in both football and basketball, starting with the 2011 season.

Wednesday, June 9
n a move that could spell the apocalypse for the Big 12 conference, the Pac-10 is looking to extend offers for membership to Texas, Texas Tech, Texas a&m, oklahoma and oklahoma state in addition to already offering colorado, a source familiar with the negotiations told esPn.coms Ted miller. Texas legislators had been pushing for Baylor to be the sixth school included, rather than colorado, but it is believed that the draw of the denver television market sixteenth largest in the country was the deciding factor. one Big 12 football coach told esPn. coms mark schlabach that, should nebraska accept an invitation to join the Big Ten and it was reported earlier today that they had - it would lead to the dissolution of the Big 12, according to his athletics director and university

Sunday, June 13

president. should the six schools receiving offers from the Pac-10 accept them - it likely hinges entirely on Texas decision - it would be a doomsday scenario for kansas and the other four remaining Big 12 teams, which would be left without a conference. ncaa rules state that a conference must have at least six teams with five years of playing experience together, so the remaining five would likely have to separate to find homes. It is rumored that even if the five Big 12 south schools with offers decline, the Pac-10 will look to expand to 12 teams, with colorado priority number one, according to a report at chicagobreakingsports.com.

he university of Texas has likely single-handedly put a halt to conference realignment by rejecting a membership invite from the Pac-10 and committing to the Big 12. Larry scott, commissioner of the Pac10 conference, confirmed to the dallas morning news that the Longhorns would not be joining the Pac-10, essentially saving the Big 12 (and setting off small parties in Lawrence; manhattan, kans.; ames, Iowa; waco, Tex.; and columbia, mo. in the process). In a brief phone conversation with the morning news, scott said: weve been informed by university of Texas president Bill Powers that Texas will stay with the Big 12. we have not received definitive details about this decision. It is our understanding that Texas was going to meet the terms that we have

proposed. at least three schools considering defection - Texas Tech, oklahoma and oklahoma state - will follow Texas in whatever decision it makes. The morning news is also reporting that, under Big 12 commissioner dan Beebes plan to save the conference, Texas a&m will also remain in the Big 12, negating recent serious flirtations with the sec. Beebe told the 10 remaining Big 12 schools that, upon the conferences renewal of its television contract in 2011, the schools will see an increase in revenue distribution from as little as $7 million per school to $17 million per school each year.

Coaches Bill Self and Turner Gill gave a press conference regarding their thoughts about the recent activity inside the Big IX. They both optimistically answered questions about recruiting possibilities and KUs future in the conference.

In football, instead of breaking the remaining 10 schools into two divisions like the Big 12 always has, each school will play all the others, expanding the conference schedule from eight to nine games. Instead of having years off, the Jayhawks will face conference powers Texas and Oklahoma every year. When the Jayhawks took advantage of a schedule lacking appearances by either the Longhorns or Sooners in 2008 and made an incredible run to the Orange Bowl, theyll have to work their way past every school in the

FOOTBALL

conference not just a chosen few. It will make new coach Turner Gills job a little more difficult. After all, the Jayhawks are a combined 29-76 against those two schools in football. Gill, as is his style, focused on the positives of the situation most notably, the ability to recruit prospect-laden Texas more than ever. Its a great opportunity for parents to see their son play two to three times for sure a year, Gill said. Then you talk about their whole career and it gets up into the four to six times. So it gives a great opportunity for people in Texas to see their son and not have to travel a whole lot.

In basketball, the conference schedule will be a double round robin format, with each team playing a home-and-home series against all the others. Its an attractive option because each school will visit every other every season, letting some of the conference powers, for example Texas and Kansas, develop deeper rivalries. Big 12 Commissioner Dan Beebe expressed excitement at the concept of schools hosting the conferences basketball powers every year. Certainly Kansas has had a lot of

BASKETBALL

success, Beebe said. Theres a lot of excitement about having a team like Kansas come to your arena every year. Its also notable that the defection of Colorado and Nebraska made the conference a noticeably stronger basketball conference. Nine of the remaining 10 schools at least received votes for the top 25 last season, and seven were ranked at some point during the year. Even Self noted that the conference would be stronger without the downtrodden in a basketball sense, at least pair. I think were better off than weve

ever been, Self said. And thats not taking anything away from Nebraska and Colorado, but were a true league now. How many leagues in the country get the chance to really play for a true championship in the BCS? But Kansas still remains the team to beat in basketball, and the top contenders remain in conference to try to do so. So Kansas world will change because of conference realignment. But only slightly. And the Big 12 is still home.

New study question benefits of test prep


BY KIRSTEN KWON
kkwon@kansan.com For many high school seniors, the letters A-C-T or S-A-T mean hours of studying, a lack of sleep and living in a constant state of anxiety. To prepare for admissions tests, college prep companies such as Kaplan and Princeton Review offer courses designed to help students improve their college admission test scores. Stephanie Miller, a senior from San Diego, said it was the norm for students at her high school to enroll in test prep courses. Miller took a twohour course two nights a week in the weeks leading up to her test date. My score went up significantly so it really helped, Miller said. It also applied to just taking tests in general. But according to a 2009 report by the National Association for College Admission Counseling, students benefit far less from college test prep than advertised. The research found that students gain an average of 30 points on the SAT and less than one point on the ACT from prep courses. Students might be drawn to these help courses by advertising , Our SAT Ultimate Classroom students average a score improvement of 255 points, as the Princeton Review claimed. Kristen Campbell, director of college prep programs at Kaplan Test Prep and Admissions, said these types of ads should be proven if they are printed. Campbell said that students should be careful to trust claims about score improvement. We would caution consumers to be careful about test prep players that make score gain claims as these claims are often unreliable or inflated, Campbell said. In May, the Princeton Review voluntarily stopped making claims regarding their test prep courses and how many points students could improve on admission tests with the help of their services. The National Advertising Division of the Coucncil of Better Business Bureaus said removing the ads was necessary and appropriate. Lisa Pinamonti Kress, director of KU Admissions and Scholarships, said college test prep could give students an idea of the types of questions theyll be asked to answer. I think that if a student takes the exam the first time and theyre not satisfied with their score it could be beneficial to them, Pinamonti Kress said. I know some students have test anxiety so it could help them be better prepared. Pinamonti Kress said that while test scores were important for admissions to the University, they were only one of the three requirements needed for admission. Scholarship recipients, though, typically have an ACT scoref above 27. The score is important when it comes to scholarships, Pinamonti Kress said. We look at things like their GPA and their test score on the application.

they still were looking for a young girl missing from the albert Pike Recreation area campground. But state Police capt.

Police will wait to announce the girls name until her identity is confirmed by dental records or dna, Fletcher said. dozens of people were feared missing after the pre-dawn

Friday flood, but authorities narrowed their search sunday to just one person known to have been camping at the albert Pike Recreation area. They said they believe many others first feared missing were camping in other parts of the state, without cell phone coverage. state police and other agencies were to decide monday night whether to continue the search Tuesday, spokesman Bill sadler said.

Students cut it off to give Philly challenges ban back for Locks of Love on gays in Boy Scouts
BY HANNAH JENNISON
hjennison@kansan.com Dani Marvin thinks about how she has the ability to help people with cancer as scissors fight to cut off 12 inches of thick hair. It allows them to still feel normal and beautiful while they may feel down most of the time, Marvin, a senior from Shawnee, said. The first time Marvin donated her hair, she was a sophomore in high school. I did it for one of my moms best friends, Sarah. She died of breast cancer. She was a strong soul and left a lot of people to mourn over her young death. The second time she donated was during her junior year in college. Why be selfish and try and get this cute haircut when you can make someone elses life just a little better, Marvin said. Locks of Love is a non-profit organization that creates hairpieces for financially disadvantaged children who are suffering from long-term medical hair loss. In our store alone we probably do 10 to 14 students per semester. Kathy Frye, Lawrence Great Clips manager, said. Frye said she had one client who has donated her hair three or four times. When she was in elementary school, one of her friends passed away from cancer, Frye said. Some people who donate their hair dont have specific reasons for donating. They just want to help out the kids who need hair. Little kids get made fun of if theyre bald because kids dont understand that kind of thing, especially if the bald child is a girl, Frye said. Lauren Suter, a senior from Shawnee, said that she donated 12 inches of hair during spring break. I had been growing out my hair for a while and decided to cut it all off during the spring. I wanted to cut it off earlier but I knew that the longer the hair, the more it could benefit a child, Suter said. Although some people get instant gratification after donating their hair to such a good cause, cutting off 10 or more inches of hair can be a stressful situation. It was weird donating my hair. One, I lost 12 inches. And two, it was odd to think that another child would be wearing my hair. As good as it made me feel to know I was benefiting a life, it was odd to think about how exactly I was doing so, Suter said. For more information on Locks of Love, visit www.locksoflove.org.

PHILADELPHIA City lawyers called on local Boy Scout officials to muster the courage of their convictions and challenge their national groups ban on gays as a trial over government funding opened Tuesday. The city of Philadelphia wants to end its $1-a-year lease to the local Boy Scouts chapter unless it rejects a Boy Scouts of America policy banning avowed gays. The city says the national rule violates a local law banning discrimination on sexual-orientation and other grounds. Local scout chapters, including the Cradle of Liberty Council in Philadelphia, have struggled in recent years to satisfy both public and private funders as well as their

national leaderships dictums. The Boy Scout oath calls for members to be morally straight, which the national group interprets to mean that gays cannot participate. In 2004, the Philadelphia chapter agreed to ban any unlawful discrimination. But the city said the policy didnt go far enough, given that the U.S. Supreme Court in 2000 had said scouts and other private organizations can legally restrict membership. The city tried for years to get them to (muster) ... the courage of their convictions, lawyer David Smith, representing the city, told jurors Monday in opening statements. You cant go on speaking out of both sides of your mouth because we, the government, cannot subsidize that kind of conduct.

Mycological Society hunts mushrooms on campus


tdwyer@kansan.com
Sherry Kay cant remember how long shes been hunting mushrooms or exactly when she started. I started doing this with my mother when I was just a child, Kay said. And Im old. Regardless of when she started, she doesnt plan on stopping soon. Kay, the president of the Kaw Valley Mycological Society, hosted the groups monthly mushroom hunt Saturday despite cool temperatures and intermittent rain. Kay and her husband of 35 years, Richard, founded the society 25 years ago. About 15 people usually show up for their monthly hunts though the uncooperative weather, Richard said, kept the group at 10 last weekend. Richard has a better idea of when he started hunting mushrooms because it coincides with him meeting Sherry.

Off the wall

BY TIM DWYER

It must have been maybe 35 years ago. I just celebrated my 35th wedding anniversary and my wife was interested in foraging in the city, so I would go out on walks with her and we got more interested and we got some books and we started going out to places in the country, he said. He stressed that it doesnt take the wilderness to forage, though. He said their first forays into hunting together often involved just walking around campus when Sherry was in graduate school at the University. You dont have to go very far to hunt, Richard said. For example, the pine trees in front of Watson Library are always a good place, or the ones on the west side of Strong Hall. Theres a lot of great mushrooming right there on campus. Last weekend alone, the group found four mushrooms that had previously not been found in Kansas.

Its the rain, Sherry said. It brings out a lot of new and different types of mushrooms. Sherry said the Mycological Society often provides dried specimens for the University of Kansas herbarium, located in Bridwell Laboratory on the West Campus, in order to preserve both the mushroom specimen and the molecular genetics therein. Two of the more popular mushrooms the group found this weekend were chanterelles, which are orange or yellow and funnelshaped, and laetiporus, or chicken of the woods, which is said to resemble the flavor and appearance of white chicken meat when cooked. Chanterelle season is beginning. They are so beautiful, and we had a lovely batch. We found well over 100 on Saturday. We also found chicken of the woods; its bright on the top, yellow on the underside. Its a real delicious edible mushroom.

Constant buzz surrounds World Cup


JOHANNESBURG For me, the 2010 World Cup didnt start with a bang. It was more like a buzz. I was trying to fully recover from any lingering jet-lag symptoms before the bumblebee-like vuvuzela buzz came roaring through my window. Approximate time? 5 a.m. Thursday here, approximately 10 p.m. Wednesday in Lawrence. A full nine hours before the opening ceremony and 11 hours before the cgoble@kansan.com first actual game, I knew this thing, the first World Cup on African soil,

Spectators blow noisemakers known as vuvuzelas at the World Cup in South Africa. Kansan writer Clark Goble said the buzz from the vuvuzelas began nine hours before the first game.

was on like Donkey Kong. We had a shuttle arranged to leave from our hotel at 10 a.m., expecting the ride to take more than two hours. However, our shuttle had a new driver: a wily South African with a deep knowledge of the streets. We took back roads until we hit the major traffic outside Soccer City and made it in a little over an hour. With the free time, we decided to check out the Soccer City itself. Not a

ton of things to do, but the number of people watching surpassed anything Ive been a part of. You had the Bafana Bafana faithful the South African fans completely decked out in green and gold, a vuvuzela at everyones hip. You had the Mexican fans, some playing into common stereotypes with others shaking wooden noisemakers like they were getting paid to do it. The third group was us: the non-

partisan fans expecting to head back home with blown eardrums. We saw a few England fans milling around, and I can tell you that my passion for cheering against them was already building. We headed in around 1 p.m. and began to realize what we were getting ourselves into. The speakers were blaring already, so we figured that

Pujols, Boot Camp numbers decline Cardinals Fewer enroll in rec center classes during summer whip Mariners
BY R.B. FALLSTROM
associated Press ST. LOUIS Albert Pujols took one off the noggin for his team on a perfect day at the plate and stand-in cleanup hitter Ryan Ludwick homered to help the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Seattle Mariners 9-3 on Monday night. Pujols singled three times and walked twice as the Cardinals bounced back after totaling 19 runs during a 1-5 West Coast swing that dropped them out of the NL Central lead. Plus, he stayed in the game after a throw to the plate glanced off his helmet ear flap in the fifth. Ludwick finished with four RBIs and Adam Wainwright (9-4) pitched into the eighth after a shaky start. Matt Holliday also was a success batting second for the first time in his career, getting two hits and scoring twice. The Mariners have lost six of seven, fizzling after Ichiro Suzuki hit the second pitch of the game for his 31st career leadoff homer tying Chuck Knoblauch for 10th place. Suzuki also doubled in the eighth for his major league-leading 31st multihit game. Luke French (0-1) replaced struggling Ian Snell in the rotation and allowed four runs in four innings. Colby Rasmus homered in a fourrun fifth off Snell, one of the runs scoring when Pujols broke for the plate on David Freeses chopper to third and was struck by Jose Lopezs errant throw. Pujols was helped off the field by teammate Yadier Molina after receiving treatment from a trainer, but just moments later was chatting with teammates in the dugout. The Mariners had two runs on three hits in the first against Wainwright (9-4), and no runs and one hit over the next six innings. It was Wainwrights 21st consecutive home start with three or fewer runs on his line, the longest streak in major league history, according to research by the Elias Sports Bureau. dents can still become recruits is called The Survivor Test, an and join the Boot Camp challenge initiation test aimed to gauge stuby signing up for one of three dif- dents abilities and eventually compare their them with the last sesAlex Miller has been training ferent times twice per week.

Soccer, Skype connect Free State to German pub


BY COREY THIBODEAUX
cthibodeaux@kansan.com The Free State Brewing Co. and St. Michaelis Brauhaus in Eutin, Germany about 4,600 miles apart came together for the duration of the World Cup match up between the United States and England Saturday. The two breweries, which already had an existing relationship, were able to connect before the game and during halftime with the help of Skype. Andrew Toth, a senior from Colby, helped set up the event and thought a group of Lawrence natives currently in Eutin would enjoy experiencing the game with their fellow Americans. The people on their side thought it would be nice to give Americans a place to watch the game, Toth said. And since were here watching it, its a good opportunity to go ahead and get connected with them. About 30 high school and college students are currently in Eutin, a sister city of Lawrence. About 10 KU students and 10 Lawrence High students will spend six weeks in Eutin for language camp. Ten other Kansas students will intern for six weeks. Frank Baron, a professor of German languages and literatures, has a close connection to Eutin and St. Brauhaus from taking students there on trips. In 1993, he said, the Eutin brewery sent 13 glasses to Free State Brewing Co. to establish a sort of partnership. That was the first effort to make a connection between the two breweries, Baron said. The connections go even further than just sister cities. Mat Luck, a KU graduate, met his wife, Fran, at his host familys house in Eutin in 2000.

they must be forced to turn them up to counter the loud fan noise. Good thing the free giveaway for this tilt was a package of earplugs. The opening ceremony had everything you wanted: uniqueness, a fantastic recognition of African history and... R. Kelly? Seriously, the fans got rock-concert-loud for the entrance of R. Kelly. Not sure the Bafana Bafana faithful completely understand the guys criminal history. I kept the earplugs in my jacket, but I was glad I didnt throw them away when the game prepared for kickoff. This place made Allen Fieldhouse sound like an early-morning English classroom. I popped in my earplugs and realized that it was still loud. It was a five-minute feeling Ive experienced in single-second increments only one time before: when I accidentally left my stereo speakers turned up on full. There wasnt much brilliant soccer in the first half, and you could tell that South Africa was the lesser team. No matter. The crowd had to pull this team to the second round, and they clearly understand that. I took out my earplugs early in the half to better experience the game. Halftime was

Its great for the fans and exciting for the players too. were well aware of the history of the two teams at the world cup, especially 1950, but times have moved on since then. we look at it as a big challenge and one that were thrilled to have. I think that england and ourselves are favorites to qualify from the group, even though algeria and slovenia both came through great situations to get to the world cup: algeria with a historic win in sudan, slovenia beating Russia in the european play-offs.

more than a bathroom break it was a brief escape from the noise vacuum. Ten minutes into the second half, South Africa collectively went bonkers. Siphiwe Tshabalala, a name that will adorn South Africas sports page tomorrow, launched a strike into the corner of the net. The underdog Bafana Bafana were on top. For the next 24 minutes, Soccer City was a party with no music other than the blaring vuvuzelas occasionally creating a beat. The dancing was contagious: I found myself doing a vuvuzela-like Tomahawk chant and providing the CHARGE note on that whole CHARGE chant. But Mexicos Rafa Marquez became unmarked on a cross and turned off the music with an equalizing goal.

Kerr wins rain-delayed State farm classic


AssociAted Press
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. The flu didnt get to Cristie Kerr during the week. The weather didnt get to her over the weekend. And none of her competitors could stop her from collecting a second LPGA State Farm Classic championship Monday. Its pretty amazing, Kerr said. An amazing, long week. Kerr held off late challenges by Anna Nordqvist and Na Yeon Choi at the rain-delayed tournament, shooting a 3-under 69 in the final round at Panther Creek Country Club to secure the first LPGA Tour victory by an American since Michelle Wie won the Lorena Ochoa Invitational in November. Kerr, who also won the title in 2004, finished at 22-under 266, a shot ahead of Nordqvist and Choi. Kerr led after third-round play was completed Sunday morning and would have been the champ if the fourth round had been washed out. But with more than half the round completed when heavy rains and lightning rolled in Sunday, tour officials decided to try to finish the tournament Monday. Kerr never wavered. After Saturdays delay, she made six more birdies to finish with a 63. Monday, she birdied three holes before an inconsequential bogey on 18. Kerr said the stormy conditions Sunday helped her. It was actually to my advantage that they called play last evening, because I was just exhausted, she said. I didnt sleep well at all on Saturday night, just up coughing the whole night. Kerr came down with flu-like symptoms early in the week and then weathered two storm postponements that left birdie putts on the course to post rounds of 67-67-63-69. She missed the green and bogied 18 on Monday, but with a two-shot lead over Nordqvist and Choi, her twoputt was good for the victory.

whether it should start its own TV network. Oklahoma athletic director joe Castiglione said Tuesday that the Sooners are also interested in the possibility. He says the school has

already invested $3 million in a high-definition video facility on campus. He says the school doesnt have a time frame for the project and is still deciding how the network

would be made available to customers and fans. He says research suggests the network could be a success. Texas agreed to stay in the Big 12 this week in part after getting as-

surances that it retains local media rights, including the possibility of a Longhorns network.
