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.

meeting on Tuesday. Some state regulations are more stringent than Lawrence law, some are less, Miller said. 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.
no smoking in places without openings in their walls that are equal in size to at least 30 percent of the wall area. The former Lawrence standard was 20 percent. only 20 percent of hotel rooms may be designated as smoking rooms. Previously, 25 percent was permitted.
will no longer be exceptions for conference rooms, smoking break rooms or meeting rooms. will be deemed tobacco infractions, rather than misdemeanor offenses.

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.

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.

Trying to remember how we got here? Heres what has happened the past week:
Friday, June 4
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

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.

Wilson said the club holds ceremonies for a variety of purposes. It starts with a God-given thought, Wilson said. Someone might be in need of prayers or they are worried about certain family members. They can be for birthdays, funeral services, many things. It starts with a thought and it leads to service. LeRoy said that NAC members dont consider peyote, their medicine, a drug and that she has seen miracles many people would not believe. But the meetings dont require everyone to use the medicine. You can certainly go to it and not use the medicine, LeRoy said. The medicine is a holy sacrament to us. Some people say you just go there to trip, but its holy to us. We would never insult that. Jeffrey Elizondo, a senior from Oklahoma, is the president of the NAC club at Haskell. Elizondo said people from all over the state and other parts of the country come to pray for various causes. Its someplace to pray when you are far from home, Elizondo said. A lot of students here miss their families. Elizondo said the meetings go from sundown until morning and include singing, drumming and
praying all night. The NACs hierarchy also means men and women have different responsibilities. Adrian Primaux, a junior from South Dakota and a member of the NAC club, gained the title of roadman, the leader of ceremonies, two years ago and has since led five ceremonies. Primaux said he tries to attend ceremonies at least every other weekend. The most important thing about the ceremonies for me is praying, Primaux said. Were praying for lives, health, happiness and a good road or life. Everybodys seeking the same things.

they still were looking for a young girl missing from the albert Pike Recreation area campground. But state Police capt. Fletcher said searchers werent sure if the girl whose body they found was the same one reported missing by her family. 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.

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.

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.

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.

The game would end in a tie, a disappointment for the better Mexico and a Well... OK! for South Africa. I am looking forward to tomorrows or todays, depending on when you read this U.S.-England match. If I can get emotionally involved in a South Africa-Mexico game, I hope I dont go overboard and punch an Englishman tomorrow night. Any result would be fantastic, but I still want
to the Yanks to play aggressive and try to nab three points. Im expecting the vuvuzela buzz to be my alarm clock tomorrow, but Ive realized that I need to embrace the noise instead of frown upon it. Maybe Ill be up buzzing too, even though my vuvuzela skills are lacking. Ill work on it.

NORMAN, Okla. Texas isnt the only Big 12 school looking into
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.
