Kicking off Hawkeye fever- Pregame 

Man charged 

for '99 murder 

IJLIIIU.-. 

The Dally Iowan 

A Wyoming man charged 

Thursday with the 1999 firstdegree 

murder of John Helble 

might have visited the former 

North Liberty man before 

allegedly shooting him twice in 

the head, police said. 

Family members of Helble, 

then 28, said the victim kept a 

low profile before he was murdered 

in his Lot 48 trailer on 

Holiday Lodge Road in North 

Liberty on Feb. 23, 1999. 

They say they had never 

heard of the accused Andrew 

Rich. Police say Rich, 44, is originally 

from Greybull, Wyo., and 

has been serving a 50-month 

sentence for federal firearm 

charges in Minnesota since 

December. 

"Nobody knew who Andrew 

was," said Robert Helble, 

John's nephew. "John was 

quiet. He never told much 

about his lifestyle." 

Authorities are unsure when 

they will extradite Rich from 

the Federal Correctional Institution 

in Waseca, Minn., said 

Assistant Johnson County 

Attorney Linda Paulson. 

H Rich contests extradition, it 

might be weeks before he faces 

trial in Johnson County, abe said. 

Authorities said Rich's arrest 

warrant was signed Thursday 

morning after investigators 

thoroughly reviewed the case. 

Rich had been charged with 

possession of a controlled s.ubstance 

in 1999 in Greybull and 

interfering with law enforcement 

and resisting arrest on 

Feb. 18, 2000 - one year after 

the murder, said Greybull Police 

ChiefRick Urbanski. 

When authorities arrived at 

Rich's Greybull residence for federal 

firearm charges in February 

of 2000, he threatened to kill 

himself with a loaded 12-gauge 

shotgun, said former Greybull

Objections halt city 

charter additions

The Daily Iowan 

Proposed amendments to the 

city's Home Rule Charter will 

not likely come before local voters 

in November after a city 

committee on Thursday upheld 

citizens' objections to each one. 

Supporters, who had gathered 

1,600 signatures through a 

petition drive, hoped the 

amendments would promote 

better accountability in local 

government and drastically 

change police practices. 

But the committee, consisting 

of Mayor Ernie Lehman, Councilor 

Ross Wilburn, and city 

clerk Marian Karr, unanimously 

upheld an objection concerning 

incorrect wording to the first 

amendment, and voted 2-1 to 

uphold two other complaints 

dealing with the process. 

The committee overturned all 

12 other complaints, which 

ranged from other concerns with 

the amendment's wording to 

miBBing dates on the petitions. 

Attorney Bruce Nestor for Citizens 

for Acoountable Local Government 

said supporters plan to 

file an appeal through the court 

system, asking a judge to direct 

the council to put the amendments 

on the Nov. 6 ballot. 

Nestor said he and others are 

disappointed that a three-person 

committee can deny voters 

the right to be heard, especially 

when one of the three isn't even 

an elected official. He thinks 

there are many legal concerns 

about the process and decisions 

themselves. 

"The committee voted, and 

not the city council," Nestor 

said, "and that is a difference of 

legal opinion." 

The petitions for the amendments 

were filed Aug. 20 to the 

City Clerk's office. There were 

almost 1,600 signatures collected, 

which is more than double 

the 784 required signatures. 

Iowa City resident Susan 

Horowitz said she strongly disagrees 

with the petition because 

she thinks many peovle signed 

it without understanding its 

possible ramifications. 

"' can only hope that people 

take it seriously enough to be 

informed and listen to both 

sides, • she said. 

City Attorney Eleanor Dilkes 

was present to discuss the legalities 

of the oppositions, which she 

specified in a memo Wednesday. 

Committee members said 

some opposition complaints 

were based on political ideas 

rather than legalities. 

At the end of the meeting, 

Lehman said he was sorry in 

some respects that the votes 

were only allowed to be based on 

legal sufficiency.

IJRIWIIIIJ a 

Associated Press 

, DURBAN, South Africa - on the eve 

of a U.N. conference against racism, 

angry Arab activists broke up a news conference 

by Jewish groups and the Rev. 

Jesse Jackson warned Ufat the Middle 

East conflict should not overshadow other 

key issues. 

U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan, 

meanwhile, was pelted by complaints by 

leaders of ethnic minorities worried their 

causes will be ignored at the gathering 

that begins today. 

During a question-and-answer session 

at a civil-rights forum, he was challenged 

to defend the conference's final draft document 

by representatives of Latinos, 

indigenous people, Caribbean citizens, 

and Dalits, known as the untouchable 

caste in India. 

All felt their cause was not being 

emphasized enough, if at all. 

Twice the secretary-general was interrupted 

by shouts from the crowd, once by 

Palestinians and once by a Dalit representative. 

"Let's have a dialogue. Let's have a serious 

dialogue," "'nrian admonished the 

' 

Dalit representative. 

Upon his arrival in Durban, Jackson 

said efforts to label Israel a racist state 

threatened to overshadow other issues at 

the conference, which runs until Sept. 7. 

"'llbe iss~ tJf racism is too big to reduce 

it to the controversy about the Middle 

East," Jackson toldrthe Associated Press. 

"One can be against the settlements, 

against the 88888Sination of leaders and 

not have to label Israel as a racist state. 'If, 

one goes into labeling, there are a lot bt 

labels to go around." 

Representatives from more than a hun-' 

dred countries were expected to attend 

the gathering. About 15 heads of state, 

many from Africa, were expected to lead 

their delegations. 

The United States announced Wedn~ 

day it was sending only a midlevel deler_l;: 

tion in response to language it considera 

anti-Semitic in the draft resolution. 

Canada's Foreign Affairs Minister John 

Manley said Thursday he too would stay 

home-and for the same reason. 

"What is important is what we do after 

the conference. Not the declaration and 

the papers adopted," Annan said. 

Earlier, Jewish groups at the civilrights 

form told a press conference they

"What is remarkable is that

states, few would make the university 

a top priority," said Sid

people of Iowa being dedicated

· The Daily Iowan 

Rep. Greg Ganske, R-Iowa, 

said Thursday that he knows he 

is going to have to run a near-perfect 

campaign to knock off incumbent 

Sen. 'Ibm Harkin, D-lowa, 

• 'in the 2002 elections. 

But the Des Moines Republican 

said he is very optimistic that 

he can win what is being billed by 

both the Democratic and Repub- 

, lican senatorial committees as 

one of the top match ups in the 

country. 

"I think people recognize that 

Tom Harkin runs tough campaigns, 

but Greg Ganske has run 

some pretty good ~ampaigns, 

too," Ganske told the DI during a 

wide-ranging interview. "I think 

that's part of the reason why people 

are thinking that this will be 

a pretty good race." 

The Republican representative, 

who took a break from his 

medical practice in the mid 1990s 

to run for the U.S. House ofRepresentatiyes, 

beat a 36-yearincumbent 

in 1994. 

Harkin, a Democrat who has 

served in Congress since the mid 

1970s, also beat an incumbent in 

1984 to win the seat h~ has held

Congressman Greg Gansky listens to College of Medicine Dean Robert 

Kelch at the new Medical Education and Biomedical Research Facility. 

ever since. He was the first Iowa 

Democrat to ever win a third 

Senate term. 

But Ganske pointed out that 

Harkin's margins of victory 

have been getting increasingly 

smaller. 

He said to win the election he 

will have to get his message out 

on radio and television, form a 

good grassroots organization, and 

compose a good campaign staff. 

Thursday's stop at the UI Hospitals 

and Clinics, though, was 

merely an informational visit and 

a homecoming for Ganske, who 

did his undergraduate studies 

and also attended medical school 

at the UI. 

Ganske, a reconstructive plastic 

surgeon, first talked with Professor 

Michael Welsh about cystic 

fibrosis research. He then took a 

tour mthe new Medical Education 

and Biomedical Research Facility, 

which is still under construction. 

As Ganske looked out the window 

of the building, he said he 

didn't see the same buildings he 

saw during his medical schooling. 

Overall, though, he said he was 

very impressed. 

"''m a little bit biased because 

fm a graduate of this program, 

but I honestly think this is one of 

the top medical schools in the 

world, particularly for teaching 

medical students," he said. 

With the election more than a 

year away, Ganske is still concentrating 

on his current duties in 

the House. 

By putting more money into 

the economy through tax cuts 

and lowering energy costs, 

Ganske said the government 

will be able to help the economy, 

which would in turn create 

more high-paying jobs for college 

graduates. 

"I would love to see younger 

workers become richer," Ganske 

said .

Student government leaders 

say they are preparing to combat 

what they believe will be a recommended 

10 to 15 percent 

tuition increase for next school 

year. 

ill Student Government President 

Nick Klenske said his group 

is finishing plans to rally for a 

lower tuition hike. Plans call for a 

letter-writing campaign, presentations 

to the state oflowa Board 

oe Regents, and a "tuition tour," 

in order to inform student groups 

who opt to have UISG representatives 

come and speak. 

The regents' board office staff 

will release its recommended 

tuition hike Sept. 5. The board 

will consider the increase in September 

and is expected to make 

any increase official in October. 

Officials have been predicting 

a large tuition hike since the

state cut $42 million from the 

regents' universities last spring. 

A 15 percent increase would 

boost tuition and fees $530 for instate 

students and $1,795 for outof 

state students for the 2002- 

2003 school year. This year in· 

state students pay $3,522, while 

out-of state students pay $11,950. 

"We encourage students to 

come to meetings and write 

regents," Klenske said. "We're 

going to make this really visible. I 

think students need to play an 

active role. It would be good to 

have students in the audience 

when they make a decision in 

October. " 

The UISG has been in contact 

with student governments at the 

University of Northern Iowa and 

Iowa State University and will 

continue communication with 

them throughout the process. 

Klenske said he is very concerned 

with students who may

the future. If a 10 percent 

increase in tuition occurs next 

year and continues to rise in the 

future with inflation, a person's 

tuition could rise 60 percent by 

the time he or she is a senior, 

Klenske said. 

"fve had a lot of out-of-state 

students speak with me about 

their concern of not being able to 

afford school," KJenske said. 

"How can you plan for an 

increase every year? There's a lot 

oflong-term effects that we won't 

know about for a while." 

Steve Parrott, the director of 

university relations, said the UI 

couldn't predict the severity of 

the hike but didn't feel that it 

would have a large impact on student 

enrollment. 

"Yes, it's going to affect students, 

but it's still going to be the 

lowest in the Big 'Thn. That's still 

a bargain," Parrott said. "When 

students continue to come (to the 

Ul), that's a good indication that 

students value their education 

here. This is the largest freshman 

class we've had since 1986." 

Regent David Fisher said he 

didn't want to speculate on the 

percentage of the increase but 

expects a rise to occur. Despite an 

increase, Fisher said he doesn't 

believe a second hike will affect 

enrollment because of the high 

numbers of students registering 

for classes at all three state 

schools this fall. 

"I know there will be an 

increase, but right now it's a little 

premature for me to speak about 

how much," he said. "Tuition 

increases haven't seemed to 

affect the demand for enrollment. 

Other universities are raising 

their tuition. Iowa universities 

are the among the lowest in the 

country." 

Despite student opposition to 

an increase, Fisher said that it is 

nece888l'Y to maintain each of the 

state's universities.

Month-long search for sex 

offender ends in Illinois 

........ 


Illinois police arrested a 

Coralville man wanted on out· 

standing sexual abuse charges 

and accused of a string of sexual 

offenses in the Iowa City area, 

including two incidences in a UI 

locker room. 

Antonio Foster, 29, was arrested 

by local police in Kankakee, 

Ill., Wednesday on a routine traf. 

fie stop, said Coralville police Lt. 

Ron Wenman. Coralville police 

had been searching for Foster 

since July 20 after he walked 

away from pretrial supervision. 

The repeat offender faces charges 

of second-degree sexual abuse. 

The Kankakee police charged 

Foster with a ttempting to 

obstruct justice and resisting 

arrest, according to Kankakee 

County Sheriff's records. 

Foster's only outstanding 

offense in Coralville is an alleged 

sexual assault of a night clerk at 

the Ramada Westfield Inn, 1-80 

and Highway 965 North, on July 

16, said Wenman. Police records 

show Foster allegedly forced the 

44-year-old female clerk into a 

back room, threatened her, and 

performed a sex act on her. 

Foster will be transferred to 

the Johnson County Jail after 

Kankakee police process his 

charges there, Wenman said, 

adding that he is unsure how 

long the process will take. 

Kankakee police would not

Foster bas a history of sexual 

offenses in the Iowa City area, 

acoording to Johnson County District 

Court records. 

• On April10, Foster held and 

assaulted a woman in the UI 

Field House locker room. He is 

also accused of pushing a woman 

at the same location on Feb. 25, 

causing the victim elbow and 

lower back injuries. Foster's 

actions led the university to 

equip the locker room with security 

buzzers and better locks.

and pushed a woman near 

her buttocks at Bames and Noble 

Booksellers at the Coral Ridge 

Mall. Foster lefl; the scene af\er

she confronted him. He was 

arrested later that night for public

• On April 12, at the Motel 6, 

810 1 Ave. Coralville, Foster

crotch, made several sexual 

statements, forced her into a 

bathroom, and ordered her to

County program could save $32,000 

- ly.llcklll'n••• 


Johnson County taxpayers 

would save about $32,000 to 

sepd low-risk prisoners to clasself 

on pretrial release rather 

then transporting inmates to 

a.oother jail, 6th Judicial Distijct 

officials said Thureday. 

An intensive pretrial release 

program for non-threatening 

offenders would initially cost 

the county an estimated 

$268,000, said Steve Street, 6th 

Judicial District parole/probation 

supervisor. On average, the 

county has been spending about 

$300,000 annually to transport 

iqmates to other county jails, 

according to Jeffrey Home, the 

county budget coordinator. 

" "I really like it because it 

would not only offer us an 

opportunity to relieve the overcrowding 

at the jail but would 

also give us an opportunity to 

g'ive treatment," said County 

Supervisor Carol Thompson. 

; The program, presented by 

representatives of the 6th Judicial 

District Department of Corrections, 

would allow individuals 

who don't qualify for traditional 

pretrial release to live at 

home. Electronic monitoring, 

curfew checks, and substance 

abuse and mental-health counseling 

would be required. 

"The difference between the 

traditional and the intensive 

program is the frequency of contact 

and intensity of treatment 

provided," Street said. 

An offender's possible threat 

to the community, employment 

status, permanent housing situation, 

and possible substanceabuse 

problems are factors considered 

for admittance to the 

program. 

"'t definitely deserves a closer 

look," said Supervisor Sally 

Stutsman, who said the program 

would save county dollars. 

"There are still some questions 

and things we have to check 

into." 

Thompson said she and 

Supervisor Pat Harney worked 

cJosely with plan developers to 

create a fair budget. If implemented, 

new employees would 

need to be hired and would use 

rented computer monitors, she 

said. 

In other board news, supervisors 

voted to purchase a 

Dubuque Street property for the 

expansion of county offices. 

The $270,000 property was 

paid for out of the Capital Projects 

Fund. It is located north of 

the Johnson County Ambulance 

Service on 808 S. Dubuque St. 

The move to purchase the property 

was the result of months of 

negotiation between the county 

and the property owners. 

Supervisor Terrence Neuzil 

said he was initially "pretty hesitant" 

to support the purchase 

because the county has a lot of 

space needs that it must consider 

when lboking at potential 

purchases. 

This property has a two-story 

building with office space on the 

bottom that might be used by 

the Johnson County Ambulance 

and the 6th Judicial District if 

its new program is approved, 

supervisors said. 

The second floor contains 

apartments the city will likely 

continue to offer for rent. There 

is also a storage building for the 

county to store records and 18 

parking spaces.

A UI law student became 

the third candidate under the 

age of 30 to join the Iowa City 

City Council race as the deadline 

to file papers for seeking a 

council seat came to a close 

yer:~terday. 

Jacob Felderman, 24, of 

4366 E. Court St., filed papers 

Thursday to become the second 

UI law student to enter 

the race, joining his friend and 

c)assmate Colby Friend. 

IDCumbent Connie Champion 

and local activist Brandon 

~ss also filed papers yesterday, 

seeking a spot on the Nov. 

6 ballot. 

"I hope that we are both 

elected to prove to everyone 

that students are serious 

about issues in Iowa City," Felderman 

said. 

Felderman said he is convinced 

he will have no problems 

balancing a seat on the 

council with his academic 

career even though he filed his 

papers on the last day because 

he was busy with school. 

"Most of the current council 

members are businessmen 

with fuJI-time jobs, and I've 

spoken with them, so I know 

what to expect," Felderman 

said. 

Both Felderman and Friend 

told the DI that their campaigns 

will'revolve around students 

in a city council that typically 

represents the older 

community. 

Champion, who filed for reelection 

in District B, said it's 

great for young people to get 

involved in politics because it 

doesn't happen often. 

"Whether they win or lose, it 

will be a great experience and 

they may remain involved in 

politics in the future," Champion 

said, adding that she 

never doubted running for 

another four-year term. 

Ross, 1822 Rochester Ave., 

was unavailable for comment 

Thursday but has participated 

in city affairs, such as the dispute 

to extend First Avenue. 

Mayor Ernie Lehman and 

Councilor Mike O'Donnell are 

also seeking re-elections, both 

for at-large seats. Primaries 

will be held Oct. 9, when the 

candidates wiJI be narrowed 

from nine to four prior to the 

election. 

Other candidates running 

for the two at-large seats are: 

former UI student Brian 

Davis, 23; Leah Cohen, 49; 

John Robertson, 44; and Aaron 

Winter, 31. District B candidates 

are: Tim Borchardt, 41; 

and Charles Major, 52.

YI works with Microsoft against piracy 

. 

- lyllctlllrlglll 


The UI will work out a licensing 

agreement with the 

Microsoft Corp. to avoid a possible 

lawsuit for students and 

employees pirating software 

from campus computers, a UI 

vire president said Thursday. 

Universities all over the 

country are working with the 

sQitware giant on site licenses,

against the illegal use of 

Microsoft products, said Douglas

UI from possible legal prob-

"'bviously, whenever anybody 

uees inteUectuaJ property, the 

owner wants to protect the property," 

True said. "The best way to 

avoid a lawsuit is to enter a 

lieensing agreement. We want to 

PfOpel'ly pay for and legally have 

theSe products on campus." 

"'David Dobbins, UI chief infor 

J11Attion officer, said he hasn't 

heard of a lawsuit filed by 

Microsoft against the university 

aDd would not say how much a 

alf.e license would cost the UI. 

"We believe we are in compliea:e," 

he said. -ntis is an experieoce 

to upgrade old machines. 

The nature of the license protects 

us from possible lawsuits. This is 

not a response to any threat." 

An agreement that will allow 

faculty members to upgrade 

tbirir computers will be finalized 

'1ttbin the next two weeks at a 

cost of just under $300,000, 

Dobbins said. The student 

license would allow every student, 

on or off campus, to 

tUJirade their computers and 

aeeess such products as

Fire a.cause of high-priced gas 

ly "-" llnllly 


Students trekking home for 

the Labor Day weekend might 

find themselves digging for extra 

bills to afford gas prices that were 

jacked up this week. 

Iowa gas prices have increased 

more than 40 cents per gallon in 

the last month, up to about $1.72 

for regular unleaded gas, compared 

to $1.30 a month ago, 

according to the AAA Web site.

~udge upholds 

gay-adoption ban 

MIAMI (AP) - A federal judge 

Thursday upheld Florida's ban on 

adoptions by gays, accepting the 

state's argument that married heterosexual 

coupl_es provide a more 

stable home for children. 

U.S. District Judge James 

lawrence King said that two gay 

men who challenged the law failed 

to demonstrate that "homosexual 

families are equivalently stable, 

are able to provide proper gender 

identification, or are no more 

socially stigmatizing than married 

heterosexual families." 

The ruling drew sharp criticism 

from civil-rights groups, who said 

an appeal is likely. An organization 

devoted to traditional family values 

praised the decision in the 

closely watched case, which could 

ultimately reach the U.S. Supreme 

Court. 

Mississippi and Utah also ban 

adoptions by same-sex couples. 

But the Florida law is considered 

the nation's toughest, prohibiting 

adoptions by any gay or 

lesbian individual or couple. It was 

passed In 1977, the same year 

fermer beauty queen Anita Bryant 

led a crusade to overturn a Dade 

County ordinance banning discrimination 

against gays. 

Steven Lofton and Douglas 

Houghton challenged the law as 

discriminatory after being told 

they could not adopt children in 

their care.

meet even higher gas prices if 

they wait to buy their gasoline, as 

prices are an even steeper, at 

$1.77 per gallon for regular 

unleaded fuel, once they Cl'088 the 

Mississippi. 

The increased prices are due 

to the upcoming Labor Day holiday, 

a prime time for traveling, 

said Matthew Lange, a service 

station attendant at Amoco Station, 

102 E. Burlington St. He 

said he thinks gas price hikes 

have not had a significant effect 

on business and he doesn't predict 

they will. 

"If you're going somewhere, 

you have to buy your gas. 

Sure the customers complain 

about it, but they still pay it. 

What are you going to do, not pay 

another $4--$8 bucks and not take 

your trip? You gotta be pretty 

hard up for cash to do that." 

Prices at Lange's station have 

risen steadily from $1.36 a week 

ago to $1.80 on Thursday for 

unleaded fuel, he said. 

As UI senior Josh Lindell 

filled his gas tank at Handimart 

Food Stores on 204 N. Dubuque 

St., he said prices are keeping 

him in Iowa City for the weekend. 

"I would leave if the gas 

prices weren't so high," he said 

But UI senior Mike Ostrander 

said he's going all the way aCl'088 

the state to his home in Clear 

Lake regardless of the rising 

prices. 

"' think it's pathetic that oil 

companies pick weekends that 

they know everyone's going to be 

traveling to spike the gas prices," 

he said. "'t hurts the lowly consumer 

like me." 

AAA spokesman Barb Buchholz 

said the prices naturally 

increase when there is heavy 

travel, due to supply and 

demand. 

"'t is not intentional for the 

. NATION STUDENTS: 

gas prices to rise before holidays," 

she said "' predict that the prices 

will now stabilize for the weekend, 

and then go down in the 

next couple of days." 

In order to BOften the blow of 

the refinery fire to Citgo Petroleum 

Co. and soften the price 

increase in the Midwestern gas 

market, the Environmental Prcr 

tection Agency has relaxed airquality 

standards on the gasoline 

that the business produces and 

sells. 

Bruce Buckheit, the director 

of the EPA air enforcement division, 

says the negative impact on 

the environment will be minimal. 

The EPA has mandated Citgo 

to pay the Treasury Department 

approximately 14 cents for every 

gallon sold in exchange for selling 

the lower quality gas that is less 

expensive to manufacture.

Old South, ris~s again 

.,..., ...... 


TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - Fraternities 

and sororities are the 

last bastion of the Old South at 

the University of Alabama. 

White-columned sorority 

houses resembling Tara, the 

plantation home from Gone Wuh

Drive. Confederate flags hang in 

bedroom windows a few blocks 

away on fraternity row., 

And the organizations themselves 

are nearly as racially segregated 

as a dime-store lunch 

counter during the days of Jim 

Crow. 

None of the 37 white fraternities 

and sororities at Alabama 

has ever accepted a black. And 

only a few whites have ever 

joined the eight traditionally 

black organizations. Black 

organizations even have their 

own governing council. 

But now, with another rush 

season starting next week-and 

a flare-up last spring over bigotry 

on campus-the university 

president and some faculty 

members are pushing for an end 

to the racial division. 

"We clearly cannot tolerate 

that," said President Andrew 

Sorensen, 

A similar racial divide can be 

found in fraternity and sorority 

houses across the South and,

Police ChiefWm Farnsworth. 

Rich was then booked into a 

hospital where he was placed 

on suicide watch, Farnsworth 

said. 

Greybull police assisted Iowa 

authorities in the murder inves· 

tigation by conducting a background 

check, he said. Rich was 

unemployed when he lived in 

Greybull and took frequent trips 

around Wyoming with his girl· 

friend, he said. 

"So they finally popped him 

with murder, huh?" Farnsworth 

said. "We figured all along he 

did it, but they finally put it 

together." 

Steve Conlon, assistant 

director for the Iowa Division 

of Criminal Investigations, 

said he is confident charges 

will stand. 

Farnsworth said when Iowa 

investigators came to assist in 

serving a search warrant for the 

firearm charges, they took saliva 

samples from Rich's vehicle 

and his pet dog. 

They were trying to determine 

if the saliva belonged to 

Ric)l's dog, or a dog reported 

missing from Helble's former 

residence, Farnsworth said. He 

said he didn't recall if police positively 

linked the two. 

Firearms were also reportedly 

missing from Helble's residence. 

Iowa pollee said they linked 

them to Rich, but Johnson 

County Chief Deputy Duane 

Lewis would not tell reportel;'s 

during a press conference 

Thursday how investigators 

made the connection. 

Investigators waited until all 

leads were exhausted before 

deciding to charge Rich with 

first-degree murder, Conlon 

said.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) - A 

mother and five children were 

found dead In their home late 

Thursday, pollee said. 

"Th~re is a lot of trauma," said 

Sioux City Police Chief Joe Frisbie. "It 

Is evident that this Is not a suicide. 

"It appears that all six persons 

have been murdered;" Frisbie said. 

"There Is no question we have a 

homicide here, probably the worst we 

have seen in this community ever." 

Frisbie said the children ranged 

in age from 5 to 12. 

The bodies were found by a baby 

sitter shortly before 6 p.m. In their 

home at 311 West St., a low 

Income westside neighborhood. 

Authorities would not say how they 

died, but apparently the bodies had 

been in the home for a few days. 

Police said they received a call of 

two children found on the second 

floor of the home. When officers 

arrive"d, they found the bodies of 

five children and their mother. 

Frisbie was unable to confirm the 

names of the six victims Thursdat 

night as pollee hadn1 obtained i 

search warrant until after 9 p.m. 

The scene drew onlookers as pollcf 

waited outside the home and waited 

for the warrant. 

Pollee also reported that a man ..

.Bush heads back to D.C. 'recharged' 

By Sandra Sobleral 


WASHINGTON - After 26 

days away, President Bush and 

his wife returned Thursday to 

· I Washington for a fall season 

that begins with their first state 

dinner, then quickly turns to the 

far less glamorous business of 

• federal budgeting. 

Bush and his wife, Laura 

Bush, stepped off Marine One 

and into Washington's summer 

_. heat, greeted by approximately 

!50 people. 

"Our batteries are charged," 

Bush told fellow Texans as he 

., said a temporary goodbye 

Wednesday and braced for battie 

with Congress over government 

spending. It was raining 

heavily as Bush, carrying his 

Scottish terrier, Barney, and 

accompanied by his wife left 

Texas for Washington on Thursday. 

The president said he was 

looking forward to getting back 

to work "and ready to work with 

folks on both sides of the aisle" 

as the House and Senate scramble 

to pass 13 spending bills to 

keep the government running 

after the current fiscal year 

ends Sept. 30. 

He planned to talk strategy in 

several White House staff meetings 

on today. 

Bush outlined his priorities in 

a Wednesday speech to the 

American Legion: big increases 

in defense and education spending, 

protections for HMO 

patients, and Medicare coverage 

for prescription drugs. 

Democrats, pointing to new 

economic projections from the 

nonpartisan Congressional 

Budget Office, say Bush can't 

pay for any of these promises 

without breaking one of his 

most central campaign promises 

- to not use Social Security 

reserves to cover general budget 

shortfalls. 

The CBO says the shrinking 

budget surplus, the product of 

Bush's tax cut and a slowing 

economy, will force the government 

to tap some $9 billion of 

the Social Security reserves this 

year and next. 

In a preview of the rough ride 

Democrats planned to give him, 

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D 

N .Y., bemoaned to her constituents 

Wednesday "the bole 

that this tax cut has dug for us." 

Congressional Democratic leaders 

demanded to meet with Bush 

and have him explain bow he 

plans to pay for everything without 

touching Social Security. 

Bush, meanwhile, said he will 

take his case directly to the public, 

with trips around the country 

beginning on Labor Day 

when he travels to Detroit and 

Green Bay, Wis.

· GOP beat Democrats in voter turnout 

By Will Lester 


WASHINGTON - Republicans 

did a more effective job than 

Democrats in getting their parties' 

voters to turn out for the 

i 2000 presidential election, a 

voter report shows. 

Democratic voter registration 

• If continued a steady decline that 

started in the 1960s, according to 

the study released Thursday by 

a nonpartisan research group. 

~ "We had an increase in voter 

turnout because of an increase in 

grass-roots activity," said Curtis 

Gans, the director of the Committee 

for the Study of the Amer 

4 

ican Electorate. 

Voter turnout was at 51.2 per 

' cent of the voting age population 

- 105,399,313 voters - an 

increase of 2.2 percentage points 

from1996. 

Much of the turnout increase 

was in the ''battleground states" 

in whlch the presidential campaigns 

were concentrated. The 

turnout increase in those states 

More than 50 arrested 

in Ecstasy bust 

DENVER (AP) - More than 50 

~ people were arrested in Colorado 

and California on Wednesday in 

what federal drug agents said were 

., three of the nation's biggest Ecstasy 

rings. 

Asa Hutchinson, the head of the 

Drug Enforcement Administration, 

said the defendants flooded communities 

in Colorado with Ecstasy and 

other so-called club drugs, as well 

as LSD, methamphetamine, and 

marijuana. 

was twice the turnout increase 

elsewhere. 

'The Republicans did a better 

job and used their money more 

effectively than the Democrats in 

grass-roots work," Gans said. 

Republicans increased their 

turnout in every state and the 

District of Columbia. The Democratic 

Party increased turnout in 

29 states and lost in 21 states. 

Gans suggested this was due 

partly to the depressed voter 

turnout the GOP had in 1996. He 

also cited the larger financial 

commitment the party made to 

voter turnout, while Democrats 

relied more on such outside 

groups as labor, blacks, and environmentalists. 

"When you're right on the 

issues, you don't have to spend as 

much money to turn out and vote 

for you," said Bill Buck, a 

spokesman for the Democratic 

National Committee. "We have a 

number of gioups who are well 

organized and wjth us on the 

issues who do a great job of turning 

out voters." 

Registration went down to an 

estimated 65 percent of the voting-age 

population despite the 

National Voter Registration 

Act, known as the motor-voter 

law, as well as the increasing 

availability of online voter 

forms and other efforts to make 

registration easier. 

It was the first drop in registration 

since the motor-voter law 

was enacted in 1995. 

Some election reforms, such as 

early voting and all-mail voting, 

have done little to help turnout, 

and in the case of early voting 

may have actually hurt turnout 

in some states. 

Of all the reforms in election 

laws, the most effective at 

enhancing voter turnout 

appeared to be Election Day registration, 

now used in a handful 

of states. 

A significant development 

was the continuing rise in the 

number of people unwilling to 

identify with either party, Gans 

said. He estimated that independents 

make up about one-

Three of those indicted are 

blamed in the death of a 16-year-old 

girl, and they could be sentenced to 

life in prison if convicted, authorities 

said. 

Brittney Chambers died in 

January after taking Ecstasy that her 

friends bought for her 16th birthday 

party in suburban Denver. She went 

into a coma after taking the pill and 

died'a few days later. 

"As Brittney's friends and family 

can tell us, Ecstasy is an agony," 

Hutchinson said. 

The investigation was named 

Operation Green Clover, for an 

Ecstasy pill in the shape of a clover. 

Fifty-five people were arrested In 

Colorado and California on 

Wednesday 011 state and federal 

charges. Eleven others were being 

sought. 

The charges include distribution 

of Ecstasy, conspiracy, and distribution 

resulting In death. 

Officers in California and Colorado 

seized 85,000 Ecstasy tablets, 2.5 

kilograms of cocaine, 320 pounds of 

marijuana, five pounds of methamphetamine,

$1 .36 million in cash, 13 vehicles, 

and 36 weapons.

with approximately 1 percent 

in the 1920s. 

Democrats make up about

continue to have a registration 

edge on Republicans, who make 

up roughly one-fourth, he said. 

Democrats made up almost ~

Editorial 

Rethinking over puni~hments 

All aCI'088 the United States, 

jails and prisons are bursting at 

the seams because of overcrowding. 

Altogether, roughly 2 million 

people are housed in our 

nation's correctional facilities. 

This is especially evident here in 

Johnson County, where overcrowding 

has reached critical 

levels. While some of the prisoners 

are certainly dangerous, 

many of them are incarcerated 

for public intoxication, a minor, 

nonviolent crime. Luckily, officials 

from the 6th Judicial 

District have realized that overcrowding 

is a serious problem 

and are attempting to come up 

with possible solutions. 

Housing prisoners in an overcrowded 

jail is completely unacceptable. 

The cramped conditions 

lead to friction between 

prisoners and guards and 

among the prisoners themselves. 

Tempers can flare up, 

and violence often breaks out. 

This puts the well-being of the 

prisoners in jeopardy. According 

to the Bill of Rights, it is prohibited 

to inflict cruel or unusual 

punishment on prisoners. 

Therefore, by housing them in a 

potentially dangerous, violent 

situation, the government is 

We need to

our jailing policies

unsucessful 

strategy. 

effectively violating their constitutional 

rights. While many 

people feel that criminals 

deserve whatever happens to 

them in jail, is it truly fair for 

someone who had a few too 

many drinks to get severely 

beaten because the police crowd 

everyone together in cramped 

conditions? 

Besides the civil and human 

rights aspects of overcrowding, 

there is also the cost to consider. 

Right now, county officials are 

debating transporting prisoners 

to other jails in order to alleviate 

the critical overcrowding experienced 

at the county jail. Tbe projected 

annual cost of this transportation 

is roughly $300,000. 

County Budget Coordinator 

Jeffrey Home justifies this by 

saying rehabilitation cost:B might 

exceed this. What he does not 

seem to realize is that in the long 

run, all money spent on transportation 

is lost, like interest on a 

loan. Money spent on rehabilitation, 

however, is an investment 

that will pay for itself in fewer 

repeat offenders and less overcrowding 

in the future. With 

prison populations continuing to 

rise, the costs will continue to skyrocket 

unless we can come up 

with alternatives to throwing 

everyone in lockup. 

Jail is not the place for drunks. 

Jail is for violent criminals who 

pose a direct threat to themselves 

and others. Drunks and other 

drug abusers belong in drug-abuse 

awareness classes and treatment 

centers. The end goal should be to 

give them the tools to escape drug 

abuse and become productive 

members of society again. The current 

overcrowding problem gives 

Johnson County prison officials a 

perfect chance to review their current 

strategies for dealing with 

intoxicated persons. Rather than 

throw more money at an obvioosly 

\lll8llaB!Sful strategy of universal 

incarooration, perhaps it is time to 

seriously consider the alternatives: 

education and rehabilitation. 

Letter to the Editor 

The Vagina Letters, 

Act I 

I would like to take this opportunity 

to thank Holly Eggleston for 

so poignantly illustrating why a 

show such as The Vagina 

Monologues is so important and 

necessary in American society 

today. Her naive comments only 

serve to represent the very ignorance 

that The Vagina Monologues 

are trying to combat. 

If Ms. Eggleston were to actually 

see the show (which I highly 

recommend) she would discover 

that it is not about a sex war, or a 

rampage of feminism, as she suggests. 

It is about vocabulary. 

Things that remain unnamed are 

without power and without validity. 

Because most parents are 

uncomfortable even saying the 

word "vagina," let alone talking to 

their daughters about it, little girls 

are left thinking that their vaginas 

are inherently ."bad places." This 

is one of the main reasons that 

survivors of child sexual abuse 

often believe that the abuse was 

their fault. 

Ms. Eggleston needs to get out 

of her fantasy world and realize 

that problems of abuse, female

Milosevic decries treatment 

By Althony Deutsch 


THE HAGUE, Netherlands 

Fonner Yugoslav President Slobodan 

Milosevic clashed with 

U.N. judges at the war-crimes 

tribunal Thursday, complaining 

of discrimination and isolation 

in prison. Minutes later, prosecutors 

announced they will 

indict him on charges of genocide. 

During a combative 46- 

minute hearing, the former 

leader said he is so closely 

watched that he has not been 

able to speak in private to his 

lawyers, his wife, or even to his 

2~:1"year-old grandson, Marko, 

who visited him on his 60th 

birthday. 

The hearing was the second 

face-off this month between the 

dictator who ran Yugoslavia 

through 13 years and four wars, 

and the rurnonsense British presiding 

judge who repeatedly cut 

Milosevic off and insisted his 

courtroom would not be a platform 

for political harangues. 

Milosevic faces four counts of 

war crimes for the murder and 

persecution of ethnic Albanians 

in Kosovo in 1999. He was transferred 

to The Hague, Nether· 

lands, by Serbian authorities on 

June28. 

Chief Prosecutor Carla Del 

Ponte said she will file new 

indictments against Milosevic 

on Oct. 1 for alleged crimes in 

Bosnia and Croatia in the first 

half of the 1990s, including a 

genocide charge for Bosnia. 

Those indictments would be 

combined with Kosovo charges 

and would likely go to trial in 

the autumn of 2002, she said. 

"We will issue an indictment 

for genocide in Bosnia, possibly 

Croatia," Del Ponte told journalists. 

In the courtroom, Milosevic 

called the tribunal a "political 

tool~ that lacked jurisdiction. He 

charged the tribunal with discrimination 

and keeping him 

from meeting confidentially with 

his family and legal advisers. 

"Why I am isolated from the 

persons who would like to see 

me?" he asked Judge Richard 

May. "I have the right to communicate." 

Milosevic's tone was defiant, 

yet more respectful than at his 

first appearance in July, when 

he told the judge, "that's your 

problem" when asked if he wanted 

the indictment read in court. 

May gave Milosevic more freedom 

to speak than before, but he 

shut down Milosevic's microphone 

when the defendant went 

off into tangents. "We are not 

going to listen to these political 

arguments,~ he said. 

May reminded Milosevic he 

will be granted the right to confidentiality 

with attorneys if he 

appoints formal representation. 

He agreed to "look into the matters" 

of detention raised by the 

former president. 

Milosevic stuck to his lonedefense 

approach and refused to 

appoint an attorney. 

The three-judge panel 

appointed a "friend of the court" 

to ensure Milosevic's legal rights 

are protected. But it turned 

down a request by the prosecution 

to appoint a defense attorney, 

saying it was Milosevic's 

right to defend himself. 

May said the appointed 

lawrer would help prepare pretrial 

motions, Cl'088-examine witr 

neeses and make objections on 

Milosevic's behalf. 

In the former Yugoslavia this 

week, investigators revealed at 

least four common burial sites 

across Serbia-graves that contain 

the tangled remains of at 

least 800 victims of a brutal 

1998-99 crackdown on ethnic 

Albanians in Kosovo. 

May set a rough timetable for 

the Kosovo trial, saying a trial 

date will be set within the first 

two months of next year. A final 

pretrial hearing was scheduled 

for Jan. 9, 2002, but the date 

could be altered depending on 

the progress of pretrial preparations. 

The next status hearing 

will be Oct. 29. 

Milosevic protested that he 

was barred from speaking to the 

media. Last week was warned 

he could lose prison privileges 

after he telephoned a U.S. television 

network to be interviewed. 

Middle East truce hopes dim 

By Mark Livia 


JERUSALEM - Three 

Palestinians were killed and 30 

wounded Thursday in clashes 

with Israeli troops, dimming 

hopes that a limited U.S.· 

backed truce in one Palestinian 

town might spread to other 

areas of the West Bank. 

Also Thursday, an Israeli was 

gunned down by a IWlSked man 

in a Palestinian village as he sat 

in a restaurant he had helped a 

friend establish. 

In contrast, calm prevailed in 

the town ofBeitJalla after Israeli 

forces withdrew just before day· 

break Thursday, ending a twoday 

operation aimed at stopping 

Palestinian gunfire at a Jewish 

neighborhood across a valley, in a 

disputed part of Jerusalem. . 

The Israelis pulled out following 

an understanding negotiated 

by Israeli Foreign Minister 

Shimon Peres and Palestinian 

leader Yasser Arafat with the 

involvement of Secretary of 

State Colin Powell and European 

diplomats. 

In Washington, the State 

Department spokesman Richard 

Boucher said the United States 

was encouraged by the Beit Jalla 

understanding and that he hoped 

it would lead to security cooperation 

between the two sides. 

In the divided West Bank city 

ofHebron, however, street battles 

erupted after the funeral of an 

officer in Force 17, an elite unit of 

Arafat's secUrity forces, who was 

killed in a clash Wednesday. 

Gunmen took cover behind 

buildings and fired at Israeli 

tanks in the Israel-controlled 

sector of Hebron, drawing 

return fire. A 50-year-old Palestinian 

doctor was shot and 

killed as he ran to retrieve his 

car. Palestinians said he was 

J)ot involved in the fighting. 

The Israeli military aaid the 

e.ltchanges of fire went on 

throughout the day. They denied 

a Palestinian assertion that an 

Israeli tank entered the Palestinian 

section of the city. Most of 

Hebron was handed over to 

Palestinian control in 1997, but 

Israel still controls the center, 

where about 500 Jewish settlers 

live in three enclaves among tens 

of thousands of Palestinians. 

Another firelight broke out in 

the northern part of the West 

Bank. One Palestinian was 

killed and nine wounded in the 

clash, Palestinian doctors said. 

Earlier, Israeli troops shot 

and wounded two Palestinians 

near the camp. Palestinians 

said they were members of the 

radical Islamic Jihad and that 

Israel had targeted them for 

killing. The Israeli military 

would not confirm this, saying 

only that they were planting a 

bomb. 

Underpopulated 

Australia fights to kaap 

out asyl1111 Sllklll 

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) - 

Australia Is roughly the size of the 

continental United States, with a population 

of only 19 million, and It has a 

long tradition of Immigration, dating 

to the 18th century, when It was used 

as a dumping ground for boatloads of 

British criminals. 

So why Is this country, one of the 

richest In the Asia-Pacific region, 

fighting so hard to keep out one cargo 

ship of refugees? 

Prime Minister John Howard 

sparked a diplomatic wrangle with 

Norway and Indonesia after refusing a 

Norwegian ship permission to enter 

Australian waters with Its cargo of 

about 460 refugees, mostly Afghans, 

who were picked up Monday from a 

sinking I ndoneslan ferry. 

"We simply cannot allow a situation 

to develop where Australia Is seen 

around the world as a country of easy 

destination" for asylum seekers, 

Howard said in explaining his decision. 

In May, the government estimated 

the cost of dealing with unauthorized 

arrivills would reach $127 million a 

year by 2002-()3.

While backing Howard's tolfl 

stance, the opposition labor Party Ill

Satin, Agassi move to 3rd round 

., ..... 


NEW YORK- Andre Agassi 

anxiously waited through two 

sets for a sign of mortality from 

his relentless opponent, and it 

finally came when Nicolas 

Massu double-faulted on set 

point. 

"C'monl" Agassi shouted as 

the serve landed an inch wide, 

symbolic of the margin by 

which he escaped Thursday at 

the U.S. Open. 

Confronted with a barrage of 

remarkable shotmaking from 

Massu, Agassi bung on until the 

Chilean cooled off. With the 

tense victory, 6-7 (4), 6-4,6-2, 7-6 

(1), the second-seeded Agassi 

advanced to the third round. 

"My experience tells me that 

was a great one to kind of 

sneak through there," the twotime 

Open champion said. "He 

wasn't giving an inch from the 

beginning, and neither was 1." 

After losing the first set, 

Agassi was in danger of losing 

the second. He struggled to 

hold serve for a 5-4 lead, then 

took the set when Massu hit 

only his second double fault. 

With that one errant shot, 

Sparks

Charlotte 

., ...... FI"ff' 


CHARLOTTE, N.C. - The 

heavily favored Los Angeles 

Sparks got a jump on their bid 

for their first WNBA title, getting 

24 points and eight 

rebounds from Lisa Leslie in a 

75-66 victory over the Charlotte 

Sting in Game 1 of the league 

finals Thursday night. 

Leslie showed why she was 

the MVP of both the regular season 

and the AU-Star game with a 

dominating second-half performance 

to rally the Sparks from an 

11-point deficit 

DeLisha Milton added 19 

points and Tamecka Dixon 

scored 12 for the Sparks. 

The Sparks need only to win 

one game on their home floor - 

where they are 18-1 this Bea80Jl 

- to close out the bestrof-three 

series and join their counterpart, 

the Los Angeles Lakers, as 

champions this season. 

Game 2 is Saturday. 

The Sting, who started the 

season 1-10 before turning 

things around and winning the 

Eastern Conference title, got 18 

points from Andrea Stinson. 

At first, the game seemed like 

a showdown between Stinson 

and Leslie and their different 

styles ofbasketball. 

They cloeed out the first half 

by exchanging baskets - Stinson 

making fancy jumpers using 

tricky dribbling and behind the 

back passes, and Leslie answering 

by lowering her shoulder and 

driving the ball to the basket on 

consecutive poeaessions 

But Stinson got the last word 

of the hal£ She missed on a running 

jumper in the final seconds 

of the half, but scrambled for her 

own rebound, caught it in the air 

and heaved it hack up and in for 

a 39-35 Charlotte lead at the 

break. 

Stinson gave way to Allison 

Feaster at the start of the second 

half, giving the former L.A. 

reserve ample opportunities to 

run the offense. She did, acoring 

on three oonaecutive jumpers to 

pad Charlotte's lead to 48-39. 

r 

momentum immediately shifted 

to Agassi. Massu, 10 years 

younger at 21, was nonetheless 

weary from doing most of the 

running and began spraying his 

shots. 

"Over the course of a match, 

that's an important ingredient 

for me - that an opponent is 

having to work hard," Agassi 

said. 

Defending champion Marat 

Safin also survived a tough 

test, nearly exhausting his 

allotment of tiebreakers but 

outlasting Ivan Ljubicic, 7-6 

(5), 6-7 (2), 7-6 (5), 7-6 (5). 

Despite the marathons, the 

Open remained largely upsetfree. 

Jennifer Capriati 

advanced to the third round by 

beating Evie Dominikovic, 6-2, 

6-0, defending champion Venus 

Williams beat Meilen Tu, 6-2, 

6·2, and French Open runnerup 

Kim Clijsters beat American 

Allison Bradshaw, 6-3, 6-2. 

Capriati and her brother, 

Steven, were eliminated in the 

opening round of mixed doubles. 

On the men's side, a recurrent 

shoulder injury forced 

American Jan-Michael Gambill 

to retire trailing Mikhail 

Youzhny, 6-4,4-1.

Spruced-up museum ready to art out 

ByJIIIIIRolpll 


In an attempt to attract students 

when it reopens today, 

the UI Museum of Art has reinstalled 

some co11ections, added 

a coffee bar and a museum 

store, and extended its hours. 

Museum Director Howard 

Collinson and the museum staff 

have devoted more space to the 

university's collection "in a way 

that makes it more accessible to 

people without a prior knowledge 

of art," he said. 

While other museums don't 

explain art as a whole, he said, 

he wants the museum to be 

about art, not a museum of art, 

focusing instead on the functions 

art plays in life. 

"The museum's works have 

been installed in a different 

visual style to make it a little 

more modem," Collinson said. 

Within the different galleries, 

works have been placed 

together by theme rather than 

by medium. By putting similar 

pieces together, people can 

compare the pieces and understand 

the art better, he said. 

Themes within the European 

and American Art gallery 

include geometric abstraction, 

abstract expressionism, antirational 

art, cubism, expressionism, 

and the human figure. 

Halogen lights have also been 

installed throughout the museum, 

changing the appearance of 

paintings, said Pamela Trimpe, 

the museum's curator of painting 

and sculpture. 

"It brings out the blues and 

yellows," she said, especially in 

Jackson Pollock's Mural. 

A new gallery is devoted to 

Native American art, featuring 

Hopi, Navajo, and Pueblo 

works. The African Art gallery 

has doubled in size with an 

open storage display, allowing 

for all new installation of more 

pieces, including furniture. 

"The co11ection was strong in 

arts with religion and ritual," 

said Victoria Ravine, the curator 

of Arts of Africa, Oceania, 

and the Americas. "I'm interested 

in arts with a function 

that anyone can understand." 

New pieces include a palace 

wan plaque from the kingdom 

of Benin, a Nigerian door, and 

a Nigerian mask. The African 

collection has also been divided 

by themes, including ideal 

beauty, divination, abstraction, 

and masks, Ravine said. 

The museum has expanded 

into computer art and video art, 

with a new projection room continually 

playing artists' videos. 

Currently on display is a temporary 

exhibit - Gillian Wearing's 

Drunk, a video presentation 

using three screens. 

While only about 20 percent 

of the university's 12,000-piece 

collection is currently on display, 

the museum is "getting out 

a larger percentage of the collec-

tion," Trimpe said. 

Introductory videos to African, 

European, and American art as 

well as an overall introduction to 

the museum will be available in 

the Focus One Gallery during 

museum hours, she said. 

A new coffee bar overlooks 

the Iowa River, offering coffees, 

other beverages, and snacks. 

Located next to the coffee bar, 

a new museum store offers 

posters, cards, and books, 

among other items. 

The Division of Performing 

Arts will hold Friday night concerts 

in the sculpture area beginning 

Sept. 28. 

Collinson said he hopes the 

changes "make the museum 

more lively, intellectually and 

visually," while being able to 

"integrate the museum into 

the life of the university." 

Students will go to the museum 

if interesting art is presented 

in interesting ways, he 

said. Art student Emily McFarland 

agreed. 

"It's always been a great 

place," she said. "' think a lot of 

people would like that kind of 

surrounding, with the coffee 

shop. It's a nice place to get 

away from things." 

Admission to the museum is 

free. Beginning today, and 

every Wednesday, Saturday, 

and Sunday, the museum will 

be open from noon-5 p.m. 

Thursdays and Fridays .it will 

be open noon-10 p.m.

How God appeared in a 

dream: "Perfect teeth. Nice 

smell. A class act all the way." 

The family religion: "You 

know, the one with all the wellmeaning 

rules that don't work 

in real life. Uh, Christianity." 

Church signboard slogan: 

"God Welcomes His Victims." 

This is just a very small sample 

of one-liners about religion 

from "The Simpsons." 

For 12 seasons and counting, 

the animated series has mined 

religious subjects for laughs 

like no other show on television. 

The staple of the Fox network 

has sometimes been 

called sacrilegious - rather 

than satirical - for its jabs at 

clergy and the faithful alike. 

But religious commentators, 

especially this year, have 

looked at the animated series 

and found plenty to like. 

In a rare coincidence, two 

leading Protestant magazines, 

the liberal Christian Century 

and conservative Christianity 

Today, simultaneously ran 

friendly cover stories on the 

show. Christian Century said 

it's appreciated in religious eircles, 

while Chris~iq.nJJy 1bday 

hailed the good-guy characterization 

of the Simpsons' evangelical 

neighbor, Ned Flanders. 

An anthology, "The Simpsons" 

and Philosophy: The D'oh! 

of Homer (Open Court), reported 

religion was an element in 

70 percent of randomly selected 

episodes and the major theme 

in 10 percent. 

The latest analysis, which 

will be published Saturday, 

asserts that - strange as it 

might seem - the cartoon 

"more accurately reflects the 

faith lives of Americans than 

any other show in the medium." 

(1he Slmpsons] more accurately reflects 

the faith lives of Amettcans than •Y other 

show In the medium. 

In The Gospel According to 

"The Simpsonii" ~We~tmi~ster 

John Knox), Mark Pinsky 

notes that the characters regularly 

pray, attend worship, and 

discuss humanity's inescapable 

religious questions. God's existence 

is unquestioned, and He 

sometimes intervenes directly 

in the preposterous plots. 

Pinsky, the religion writer for 

the Orlando Sentinel, also notes 

that, despite ridiculing everything 

in sight, the show is basically 

pro-family and usually 

lets a rough morality triumph. 

According to Pinsky's estimate, 

80 percent of the show's 

writers over the past dozen 

years he,ve been either skeptics 

or atheists. Several, however, 

have called themselves believing 

Christians. 

For all its barbs, however, 

"The Simpsons" rarely mentions 

Jesus and steers clear of 

explicit Christian teachings, 

Pinsky says. He says that, in 

the end, the show may actually 

cloak a "sacred essence in 

the guise of profane storytelling." 

He concludes that 

"whether the series, once 

considered so anti-authoritarian, 

is subversive or supportive 

of faith is largely in 

the eye of the beholder."

U.S. winning streak snapped by China 

lr Pill Alllllldlr 


BEIJING- The Great Wall 

was just a little too tall. 

A 46-game winning streak for 

the U.S. men's basketball team 

at the University Games ended 

Thursday when Yao Ming-one 

of three 7-footers who make up 

China's "Walking Great Wall" 

front line - blocked Melvin 

Ely's putback to preserve an 83- 

82 victory. 

The United States bad won a 

record six-straight gold medals 

at these sort of mini-Olympics 

for college students, with players 

such as Tim Duncan and 

Allen Iverson contributing to 

the streak. 

"Things just didn't go our 

way, and we ended up the short 

end of the stick," U.S. coach 

Jerry Dunn said. 

On Thursday, China jumped 

to an 11-0 lead as the Americans 

missed their first seven shots 

and was ahead 81-70 with about 

3~ minutes left before the U.S. 

team came back. 

Juan Dixon, a member of 

Maryland's Final Four team 

this year, hit three of four U.S. 

3-pointers down the stretch. 

After his second 3-pointer 

cut the deficit to 81-79, Zhang 

Cheng's layup made it 83-79. 

Dixon then hit another 3, giving 

him a game-high 26 points 

and making it a one-point contest 

with 35 seconds left. 

The United States then had 

three chances to go ahead. 

Dixon missed a jumper on 

the ensuing U.S. possession. 

The Americans got the rebound 

'OK, we got some 

out of a tavern' 

By Jill Litke 


Some lessons are tougher to 

remember than others. 

The last time the NFL was 

forced to call in understudies 

was 1987, when a players' 

strike stretched three games 

into the regular season. After 

a particularly inept performance 

by a Los Angeles Rams 

team packed with replacement 

players, reporters cornered 

then-coach John Robinson. 

"It's not like we're getting 

them out of a tavern somewhere," 

he protested. 

But then Robinson thought 

about it for a second. A deal 

had already been signed to 

bring his real team back in 

time for the fourth game. A sly 

smile creased his lips. 

"OK," Robinson said. "We 

got some out of a tavern." 

If the NFL had conducted a 

survey anytime in the last 

decade concerning which part 

of the game needed shoring 

up, officiating would have 

been the runaway winner. 

Fans whose teams wind up on 

the wrong side of a call 

already assume that official 

was recruited out of a tavern. 

Just wait until they see their 

replacements. 

The NFL kicked off its final 

round of preseason games 

with a revolving cast of officials 

drawn from NFL Europe, 

Arena Football, and the college 

ranks. The league is being 

purposely vague about the last 

group because several conferences 

were less than thrilled 

about allowing their on-field 

officials to work pro games. 

On the players' side, at 

least, expectations aren't high. 

Detroit defensive end 

Robert Porcher's logic was 

flawless when asked whether 

officials from NFL Europe and 

the Arena League are professionals. 

"I don't see too many players 

from those leagues in the 

NFL," he said. 

The NFL said it had no 

other choice after bargaining 

talks that had already 

stretched over the better part 

of a year broke off this week. 

The argument is over money, 

but at the core of the dispute is 

the more interesting spat: 

Whether NFL officials are fullor 

part-time employees. 

"It's seasonal work, six 

months at best, no matter how 

you total it up," league 

spokesman Greg Aiello said a 

few hours before kickoff. 

"That's the way it's worked for 

82 years." 

The league's latest five-year 

proposal reflects that thinking. 

It offers the 119 officials a 

40 percent raise next year, 

double the salary in year two 

and then a series of singledigit 

bumps. The NFL calculates 

that by the end of the 

deal, they will be among the 

top 5 percent of wage earners 

in America - but still below 

what their counterparts in the 

NBA, NHL, and Major League 

Baseball make. 

Veteran player-agent Tom 

Condon, who represents the 

officials, originally asked for 

parity with the other leagues 

- and offered to switch the 

work force to full-time officials. 

The union's executive 

board surveyed members and 

determined they were already 

averaging 40-hour work weeks 

- if the time they put in during 

the six months they're on 

call was spread out over the 

course of a year. 

"Our officials do a great job 

and we have all the respect in 

the world for them," Aiello 

said. "But some of them watch 

'Monday Night Football' and 

count that. Some probably go 

to sleep at night reading the 

rulebook instead of a novel 

and count that. 

"Besides," he added, "if we 

move to full-time jobs, we'd 

lose a lot of our veteran officials. 

Most of them already 

have careers they're not willing 

to sacrifice." 

Condon agrees some number 

of veterans would leave, 

but for different reasons. 

"The guys who would leave 

are the ones who already find 

their work for the NFL is 

bleeding into their other job 

and hurting their chances to 

make progress," he said. 

but were called for a sideline 

violation that had their coaches 

jumping in protest. 

After a scramble under the 

basket led to China's 17th 

turnover, the United States 

picked up the loose ball and 

scrambled for one final opportunity. 

But Texas power forward 

Chris Owens- Jesse Owens' 

grand nephew - missed a short 

shot under heavy pressure. The 

6-foot-10 Ely grabbed the 

rebound and put up a hook shot 

that 7-foot-5 Yao swatted away, 

drawing cries from the U.S. team 

for a goaltending call that never 

came. 

"Chris and I were just down 

there battling, trying to get a 

quick shot," Ely said. "We got one 

up, but it didn't go in. We shouldn't 

have put ourselves in that 

predicament in the beginning, so 

we have to live with it. But we 

can still get a medal and that's 

what we're going to do." 

With a crowd estimated at 

5,000 going crazy and waving 

red flags, the Chinese players 

celebrated as if they already 

had won the gold medal, jumping 

into each other's arms at 

center court. 

Shouts of "U-S-AI" from a 

small group of backers were 

nearly drowned by chants of 

"Chi-na!" as the Americans 

went on a 19-6 run bridging 

the first and second quarters to 

go ahead for the first time, 33- 

32, when China was called for 

goaltending on a dunk attempt 

by Ely. The U.S. team led, 42- 

40, at halftime.

SATILJIRDAV 

Almonte's age still unofficial 

Lucky 6oys 

By Andres Gala 


SANTO DOMINGO, 

Dominican Republic - An 

empty desk delayed the official 

word on whether pitching 

star Danny Almonte is too old 

for Little League. 

Investigators extended the 

suspense Thursday, putting off 

an announcement on the boy's 

real age. 

That decision could either 

vindicate the young pitcher or 

strip his New York team of its 

thiwd-place title in the Little 

League World Series. 

Victor Romero of the public 

records office traveled to 

Almonte's hometown of Moca, 

about 90 miles north of the 

capital, on Wednesday to try to 

determine whether the boy is 

12 years old, the Little League 

limit, or 14. 

He was expected to 

announce his findings Thursday, 

but the president of the 

registrar's office never showed 

up. Results of the investigation 

will be released today, 

Romero said. No time was set. 

"I believe in Danny," Billy 

Joel Gonzalez, a 12-year-old 

who plays for the Trinidad 

Sanchez Little League team in 

Santo Domingo, said Thursday. 

"If they ever offered me 

the chance to play for the 

major leagues and asked me to 

change my age I would do it." 

Stephen D. Keener, the 

president and chief executive 

officer of Little League Baseball 

based in South 

Williamsport, Pa., said they 

would abide by the Dominican 

government's ruling and then 

determine what, if any, action 

would be taken. 

Last year, Danny moved 

with his father to the Bronx, 

N.Y., pnd began playing Little 

Leag{{e baseball. He threw the 

first perfect game in the Little 

League World Series since 

1957 before the Rolando Paulino 

All-Stars were defeated by 

Apopka, Florida. Danny finished 

the tournament with 46 

strikeouts. 

Danny's mother, Sonia Rojas 

Breton, has a handwritten 

photocopied birth certificate 

that says Danny was born 

April 7, 1989. Ten blocks from 

her house in Moca, the town's 

official records office has 

another birth certificate that 

says Danny was born April 7, 

1987. 

Another handwritten document 

from Dr. Toribio Bencosme 

Hospital in Moca states

that a woman named Rojas 

gave birth to a boy there on 

April 7, 1987. Rojas, who says 

she gave birth to Danny at 

home in the nearby town of 

Jamao, insists all documents 

but hers are false. 

"I know where I gave birth 

to my son and it wasn't in a 

hospital," Rojas told the Associated 

Press Wednesday. 

Ermenia de la Rosa, the 

director of the Escuela Evangelica 

Alianza in Moca where 

Danny's mother said both 

Danny and his brother Juan 

were enrolled, said Wednesday 

that Danny was never a student 

there, although his brother 

had been. She did not know 

his exact age.

Sandstrum said students 

would have another week to 

order tickets for the 2001 season, 

but aft:er Sept. 7, the ticket 

office would not accept any more 

orders. 

The office has not yet determined 

the amount of ticket sales 

because the offices have been 

busy selling tickets for Iowa's 

football opener this weekend. 

"We're in the process of doing 

orders right now, and quite honestly, 

we're focused on our first

OM THE EDITOR 

Handling of fight 

caused departure 

Jeremy Schnitker 

After spending days trying to make 

sense of Jon Beutjer's side and the Iowa 

coaches' side of the story surrounding 

the quarterback's departure from the 

Iowa team and his fight with roommate 

and teamate Sam Aiello, I really haven't 

come up with any conclusion other than 

that the situation was handled poorly by 

both sides. 

Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz had a 

right to keep the story quiet since it 

regarded two young men on his football 

team. It's easy to see why he didn't 

want their names thrown around in the 

newspaper: He wanted to protect his 

players and keep off-field incidents out 

of the public's eye. The desire to keep 

the situation in-house was a noble one. 

What wasn't noble, however, was 

that once the media slowly began to 

find out what happened, Ferentz and 

his staff didn't come out immediately 

and clear up the situation. 

Had he done so, Beutjer may still be 

a Hawkeye. 

Beutjer, who had been told by coaches 

that the altercation was "like a 

brother's fight," that this sort of thing 

happens, and that it's not that big of a 

deal, had every reason to be upset. Getting 

knocked uncounscious by your roomate 

is a serious matter and should 

have been adressed as one. Beutjer and 

Aiello weren't brothers, and this sort of 

thing does not happen all the time. If it 

does, then there's something wrong too. 

Denying its seriousness only made 

the media more hungry and Beutjer 

more detached. 

When somebody gets attacked, beaten 

up and sent to the hospital, it's a 

serious matter. Denying that from the 

get-go was what escalated the incident 

to the mushroom it became. That 

denial had a big influence in the departure 

oflowa's back-up quaterback. 

The situation wasn't a real big deal, 

but it wasn't a non-issue, especially to 

Beutjer and his family. Football players 

get in fights. Roommates get in fights. 

But rarely do they get in fights that 

send somebody to the hospital. 

Imagine for once if this were you, or 

your son. He was attacked by a 300- 

pound roommate, sent to the hospital 

only to have coaches tell him that he 

should continue living with that same 

roommate and pretend that nothing big. 

happened. According to Beutjer, that 

was what Iowa offensive coordinator 

Ken O'Keefe told him to do. That would 

make any young college kid uncomfortable, 

and make any parent worry about 

their child's safey. 

Ferentz should have known that. 

I hesitate to blame Ferentz wholly for 

the departure. He is a stand-up guy, and 

for the past two years, has coached a 

clean program, Beutjer was the one that 

made the decision to leave Iowa. Ifhe 

felt uncomfortable, rm sure it wasn't a 

conscious effort by Ferentz and his 

coaching staff. 

The staff took the wrong approach on 

two ends. For one, if something's not a 

big deal, as the situation was portrayed 

early on, then tell all the details. !fit's a 

non-issue, then what's there to hide? 

Secondly, if someone gets attacked by 

an Iowa player, whether that person is 

on the team or not, it should be considered 

a serious matter. 

I get the feeling that Ferentz now 

knows this was a serious issue from 

day one and that it should have been 

adressed as one. 

Hopefully he and his staff learned 

something from this, and another player 

doesn't leave feeling betrayed by a 

coaching staff that I'm sure had no 

intent to betray their future starting 

quarterback.

"Kirk is doing a great job. 

Iowa will surprise a lot of 

people who didn't pick it 

to finish very high this 

year." 

- Ron Turner, 

Illinois Head Coach 

By Todd Brommelkamp 

• The Daily Iowan 

Once upon a time, the Iowa football 

program toiled in mediocrity for two 

seasons under a new bead coach. There 

were occasional signs of life and the 

occasional victory. Then, in the third 

season, something magical happened: 

The team came from nowhere, won the 

Big Ten title, and remained in contention 

for it nearly every season 

through the next 20 years. 

It isn't a fairy tale, though it bas 

many elements of a classic fable. It 

actually happened for the Hawkeyes 

during the 1981 season. The third-year 

head coach wasn't Cinderella or Snow 

White, but Hayden Fry, who went on to 

become Iowa's winningest coach with 

143 victories. 

The thought of a drastic turnaround 

such as the one experienced by the 

rags-to-riches, Rose Bowl-bound 

Hawkeyes of '81 has to appeal to current 

Iowa third-year coach Kirk Ferentz. 

After all, he- was a first-year 

assistant on Fry's staff that season and 

witnessed first-hand the effect the 

reversal of fortune had on the program. 

The experience left an impression on 

the young offensive-line coach, as did 

the eight other seasons during which 

he was a member of the Iowa staff. 

"I worked with Coach (Fry) for nine 

years, and nobody has done more to 

shape my vision of what college football 

should be like," Ferentz said. 

In fact, one can't help but notice Ferentz's 

preoccupation with that 1981 

season. At both the Big Ten media 

gathering in Chicago and at Iowa's 

press function, he mentioned that this 

season will be the 20th anniversary of 

that performance. Ferentz's point was 

to show how much parity there has 

been in the conference since the '81 

season; nine of the conference's 11 

teams have been to Pasadena since. 

It would be easy to say the third-year 

equation is a big coincidence if it 

weren't for all the other success stories 

just like it in the Big Ten, most notable 

among them Ron Turner at Illinois and 

Glen Mason at Minnesota. 

In 1997, Turner's first season with 

the lllini, they limped to a forgettable 

0-11 record before climbing to a 3-8 

mark in 1998. In year three of the 

Turner regime, Illinois turned heads 

with an 8-4 finish and a 63-21 pounding 

of Virginia in the MicronPC.com

COACH FERENTZ 

IThe Dllily Iowan -'PREGMfE • fridlty/ Augtistdi, 2001 - 5 

Third time's a charm? 

Kirk Ferentz is hoping to earn 

success in season No. 3 

bowl. While be isn't a believer in 

time lines, Turner pointed out that 

Iowa is moving in the right direction. 

"A program like Iowa may only 

have a couple wins, but it has a lot of 

things in place for them to do well," 

he said. "Other places, it's going to 

take some time." 

. Turner believes this may be the 

year the Hawkeyes break out in the 

Big Ten, and he was mildly relieved 

Iowa was left off the lllini's schedule 

for the next few seasons. 

"Kirk is doing a great job," he 

said. "Iowa will surprise a lot of people 

who didn't pick it to finish very 

high this year." 

Minnesota's Mason took a similar 

path to success, though he had 

things slightly easier. The Gophers 

finished 3-9 under his direction in 

1997 before improving to 5-6 the 

next year and going 8-4 in 1999 to 

represent the Big Ten in the Sun 

Bowl. 

"If the people in charge [coaches] 

have a good mindset, people won't 

remember how long it took to build 

a winner as long as you build it 

right," he said. "If you look at the 

Iowa program, it has definitely gotten 

better." 

Ferentz himself subscribes to the 

building-block process. In the past 

two years, he has surrounded himself 

with the type of players and 

coaches he believes it will take to 

succeed in the Big Ten. 

"Relationships take time to be 

established," Ferentz said. "If 

they're going to be lasting and 

strong, it takes a while to get comfortable." 

After fielding teams made up pri· 

marily of Fry's recruits, Ferentz has 

been able to bring in his own talent 

and has finally gotten everyone on 

the same page as far as offensive 

and defensive schemes. Last year's 

Top-25 recruiting class, and the 

Iowa coaches' commitment to riding 

out the tedious process of rebuilding, 

show the program ia rapidly 

beading in the right direction. 

When asked directly whether he 

believes in a third-year succeu plan 

for the 2001 Hawkeyes, Ferentz was 

cautiously optimistic. 

•rm not sure there's a strict formula 

for it,• he said. "Obviously, we 

all want it to be a breakthrough 

year for us, but we still have a lot of 

work to do." 

While a perfect ending to this storybook 

tale seems unlikely, given 

the Rose Bowl will serve as the BCS 

Championship this season, Ferentz 

has tried his best to plant the seeds 

of happy thoughts in the heads of 

Hawkeye fans everywhere. 

"I'm not the most patient guy in 

the world," he said. "We'd love to 

have it happen this year, and realistically, 

we have a chance for that to 

happen." 

Whether Ferentz's story has a 

happy ending will binge heavily on 

how the team performs this year, 

starting Saturday against Kent 

State.

BIG TEN CAPSULES 

Big Ten race a wide open one 

A woman's love for roses is rivaled 

only by that of a Big Ten football player. 

And this year the Rose Bowl represents 

all a Big Ten player could want, as 

it takes its turn as the national title 

game in the Bowl Championship Series. 

But, for the first time since 194 7, it 

appears as if the conference will be 

absent from Southern California, as 

such Big 12 schools as Oklahoma and 

Texas and Big East teams including 

Miami and Virginia Tech make a run 

for the roses and the national title. 

Of course, several Big Ten coaches 

are unwilling to entertain the idea 

that their conference won't be represented 

in Pasadena on Jan. 3, but the 

absence of a dominant team and the 

early exit of several stars from 

around the league have left the Big 

Ten race wide open. 

Here's a brief breakdown of each 

team in the conference: 

NORTHWESTERN 

WHY IT WILL WIN: The Wildcats have the 

talent and the schedule. 

The absence of Big 

Ten power Michigan 

and feisty Wisconsin 

from their slate of 

games eases the load. 

Plus, Northwestern 

returns all but one 

starter from its explosive offense of a year ago. 

WHY IT WON'T WIN: Opposing coaches 

have begun to decipher NU's scoring attack, 

as evidenced by late-season losses to Iowa 

(17-27) and Nebraska (17-66). And the 

Wildcats defense, which was near the bottom 

of the Big Ten, is not good enough to 

keep them in games. 

PLAYERS TO WATCH: Senior running 

back Damien Anderson, senior quarterback 

Zak Kustok, and senior linebacker Billy Silva. 

COACH'S COMMENT: "I just remind the 

guys that the same experts who picked us 

last are the same experts who are picking us 

first," said Randy Walker. "It's about gaining 

respect, and these guys earned a lot of 

respect after last season." 

MICHIBAII 

WHY IT WIU WIN: Face it, it's Michigan. 

The team alWays seems to have enough talent 

to be in contention. The 

Wolverines' hopes are 

bolstered by an ~ 

impllM!d defense and · 

a favorable schedule 

- it won't play 

Northwestern but wiH 

host an Ohio State 

team that has made beating Michigan its personal 

mission. 

WHY IT WON'T WIN: David Terrell and 

Anthony Thomas are Chicago Bears, and Drew 

Henson Is a New York Yriee. These three 

accounted for more than 5,000 yards last season, 

and they leave holes that will be tough to 

fill. 

PLAYERS TO WATCH: Senior wide receiver 

Marquise Walker, sophomore quarterbaCk 

John Navarre. and senior linebacker Larry 

Foote. 

COACH'S COMMENT: "I like our team," said 

lloyd Carr. "I like their work ethic. I like their 

attitude, and I look forward to this season." 

OHIO STATE 

WHY IT WILL WIN: John Cooper is gone, 

along with his lackluster reign. Enter Jim 

Tressel, a fiery guy and 

proven winner from 

Youngstown State. He 

appears to have instilled 

discipline and chemistry 

in this talented but 

often underachieving 

roster. This may be the 

most dangerous team in the conference. 

WHY IT WON'T WIN: Tressel might be Ohio 

State's biggest cheerleader, but that doesn't 

translate into wins, especially in his first season. 

The offense lost a list of stars, and questions 

still surround senior quarterback Steve 

Bellisari's ability to lead this team to victory 

consistently. 

PLAYERS TO WATCH: Bellisari, junior 

safety Mike Doss, and junior linebacker Matt 

Wilhelm. 

COACH'S COMMENT: "Being around all of 

the great people in the Big Ten is a joy," 

Tressel said. "It is a very real responsibility 

to live up to the reputations of these great 

institutions. Every day is a learning process, 

and it's been real fun ." 

PURDUE 

WHY IT WILL WIN: The Boilermakers will 

stay competitive behind their defense. Yes, their 

defense. Serving as kid brother to the mighty 

offense of the past four seasons. the defense 

will now take center stage, particularly in the 

first several weeks. Ten starters return on one 

of the top collective units in the Big Ten. 

WHY IT WON'T WIN: Simply put, Drew 

Brees and all his passing records are gone, 

leaving redshirt freshman Brandon Hance in 

charge. Hance has thrown nine passes in his 

collegiate career. 

PLAYERS TO WATCH: Hance, senior tight 

end Tim Stratton, and senior defensive end 

Akin Ayodele. 

COACH'S COMMENT: "Drew was one of 

the best players in college football, but we 

have to move on," said Joe Tiller. MWe return 

1 0 of 11 starters on defense. and the one we 

lost we replace with a very athletic 6-2 corner, 

so we can upgrade that one position." 

IWNOIS 

WHY IT WIU WIN: Senior Kurt Kittner is 

one of the best quarterbacks in college football 

and perhaps the most intelligent. The 

Fighting lllini's 5-6 record last year was a 

step back, but Kittner's prized target - 

sophomore wide receiver Brandon Uoyd - 

is back after breaking his leg last year. 

WHY IT WON'T 

Wit Illinois may have 

the offensiYe talent to 

play with anyone, but 

the defense will hold 

this team back. Mike 

Cassity is the new 

defensive coordinator. 

and while his schemes appear menacing, It 

remains uncertain whether he has the players 

told I off. 

PLAYERS TO WATCH: Kittner, Lloyd, and 

senior halfback Rocky Harvey 

COACH'S COMMENT: "We need to find a 

way to regain our confidence in order to win 

the big games in the fourth quarter," said 

Ron Turner. "This is a conference where 

seven or eight teams have a shot at winning 

the Big Ten ." 

MICHIGAN STATE 

WHY IT WILL WIN: The Spartans have a key 

tool to a successful season - a dominant 

ground game. Senior tailback T.J. Duckett is a 

solid 252 pounds with the power and speed to 

change games. Defensively, Michigan State 

returns six starters on an aggressive unit that 

led the Big Ten last year, giving up just under 

320 yards a game. 

WHY IT WON'T WIN: Duckett and the 

defense carried the Spartans last season to no 

avail, and it appears as 

if they will be forced 

into similar roles this 

year. The offensive line 

is inexperienced, and 

the Spartans' continue 

to juggle between senior 

quarterback Ryan 

Van Dyke and sophomore John Smoker. 

PLAYERS TO WATCH: Duckett, sophomore 

wide receiver Charles Rogers, and 

senior linebacker Josh Thornhill 

COACH'S COMMENT: "I have very high 

expectations for this program," said Bobby 

Williams. 'We have made some changes with 

the players we are recruiting and from an organizational 

standpoint Now, we need to improve 

on our wins and loses." 

PENN STATE 

WHY IT WILL WIN: Two victories is all 

legendary coach Joe Paterno needs to pass 

Bear Bryant as the winningest coach In 

Division-! football. The Nittany Lions have a 

decent backfield, want to win for Paterno, 

and want to shut up the skeptics who say 

this program is going downhill. 

WHY IT WON'T WIN: The swagger Is 

gone in Happy Valley, 

and to make matters 

worse, Penn State 

will need young, 

unproven players to 

contribute at key 

positions - a formula 

not often viewed as 

successful. Junior quarterback Matt 

Senneca has never started a college game 

and was a defensive star in high school. 

PLAYERS TO WATCH: Senneca, junior 

defensive tackle Jimmy Kennedy, and senior 

tailback Eric McCoo. 

COACH'S COMMENT: "It's been tough," 

Joe Paterno said. "I don't think I did a very 

good job last year." 

WISCOISIN 

WHY IT WI.L WIN: Quarterbacks Brooks 

Bollinger and Jim Sorgi are both proven winners, 

and the team feels confident with either 

behind center. Consequentt;, the Badgers have 

altered their offensive attack from a gnawing 

ground game to a more spread design - a 

trend that has translated into victories for a vari· 

ety of schools. 

WHY IT WON'T WIN: Wisconsin is making 

a transition from its traditional (and successful) 

run-first, 

pass-second offense. 

Why? The three men 

vying for playing time 

are redshirt freshmen, 

which seems to be a 

theme throughout. 

Youngsters will be 

called on and expected to respond, and it's 

tough to project whether they will step up. 

PLAYERS TO WATCH: Senior defensive end 

Wendell Bryant, freshman tailback Anthony 

Davis, and senior linebacker Greisen. 

COACH'S COMMENT: "Offensively, you'd 

like to be strong at the quarterback position," 

said Barry Alvarez. "I think they complement 

each other really well." 

INDIANA 

WHY IT WILL WIN: Senior Antwaan 

Randle El is IU football. He is arguably the 

most athletic, exciting player around. He is 

nearly impossible to stop no matter where 

he plays, and the points the Hoosiers put up 

are a direct reflection of his talent. 

WHY IT WON'T WIN: Randle El's individual 

efforts impress NFL scouts, but they 

don't win games. 

Besides, coach Cam 

Cameron moved 

Randle El to wide 

receiver to allow 

younger quarterbacks 

to play. Maybe 

Cameron should make another bold move 

and use his supreme athlete on IU's struggling 

defense. 

PLAYERS TO WATCH: Randle El, junior 

quarterback Tommy Jones, and senior linebacker 

Justin Smith. 

COACH'S COMMENT: "This is the best 

football team we have had at Indiana," 

Cameron said. "We increased our speed dra· 

matically and had a great spring game. 

Overall, we had our best off-season and 

brought in our best recruiting class ever." 

MINNESOTA 

WHY IT WIU WIN: The Golden Gophers 

will score. Nine starters return on offense, 

along with kicker Dan Nystrom, who is looking 

to rebound from a disappointing season. 

WHY IT WON'T WIN: The defense collapsed 

last season, prompting coach Glen Mason to 

overtlaul his staff. And 

while many of those 

ineffective players are 

gone, replacing them 

with inexperienced 

ones doesn't exactly 

excite the team. 

PLAYERS TO 

Wm:tt Senior wide receiver Ron Johnson, 

junior running back Tellis Redmon, and junior 

punter Preston Grueoing. 

1 

COACH'S cm•IBfT: "The challenge now Is 

to be consistent and go to three bowls in a row, 

which has never happened at Minnesota." 

Mason said. 'We have a realstic chance of 

going to a bowl MrJ year, and that's big. •

JON BEUTJER'S DEPARTURE 

r r: r tJ , ~ ·, ·, • 'I l • ~ 

Beutje· keeping options open, 

looking at Div. II and Div. III 

By Melinda Mawdsley 


A week full of excitement and hype 

for the 2001 Iowa football team was 

overshadowed by two surprise phone 

calls. 

The first came Tuesday, when sophomore 

Jon Beutjer briefly informed 

coach Kirk Ferentz of his decision to 

transfer. 

The second came Wednesday, when 

the former Hawkeye quarterback 

elaborated on his reasons for leaving 

the Hawkeyes. 

An upset Beutjer said he was transferring 

because he was distraught 

over the portrayal and handling of his 

fight with teammate and roommate 

Sam Aiello in late July. 

"This was the hardest decision I've 

made in my life," Beutjer said from 

his home in Wheaton, TIL, on Wednesday. 

"But I had to take care of myself. 

I left Iowa because I couldn't take the 

betrayal I felt from head coach Kirk 

Ferentz and my position coach Ken 

O'Keefe." 

At first glance, it was thought 

maybe Beutjer was upset because he 

didn't get the starting nod for Saturday's 

season opener against Kent State 

"This was the hardest decision 

Pve made in my life. But I had to 

take care of myself." 

- Jon Beutjer 

former Ul quaterback 

and left because the coaches opted for 

Kyle McCann and guaranteed playing 

time to then-No. 3 Brad Banks. 

Not 80, said Beutjer. That announcement 

only made it easier to leave. He 

said his decision to transfer was made 

on Aug. 24 -two days before he 

learned he would be the back-up. 

Beutjer said he was assaulted by 

Aiello over a $22 cable bill on July 25 

and suffered a concussion - the third 

of his prep and college career. 

From the time the incident 

occurred until he spoke out on 

Wednesday, Beutjer said, the coaches 

have played down the seriousness 

of the incident, and that angered 

him. He said it got to the point 

where be couldn't even look the 

coaches in the eye. 

"'felt it would remain a distraction 

until the truth 

came out," he said. "I love my teammates, 

the fans, the support - everything 

about Iowa. But I could not play 

for coaches that do not support me 

and whom I cannot trust." 

Beutjer left for his parent's house 

on Tuesday morning. That afternoon 

was the first Ferentz learned of his 

former player's decision. 

"I came out of a team meeting and 

got a phone call about five minutes 

after I got into my office," Ferentz 

said Tuesday. "He [Beutjer) told me 

very briefly that his desire was to 

transfer to another school." 

Even though Beutjer and his family 

disagree with the way the incident 

was dealt with, Ferentz and Athletics 

Director Bob Bowlsby stand by the 

their handling of the situation. Fer- 

entz said Aiello was clearly in the 

wrong and has been punished inhouse 

for the incident. 

"There is a structure for dealing 

with such things, and this was dealt 

with in an appropriate manner," 

Bowlsby said Thursday. 

Aiello is expected to start at right 

guard against Kent State. 

Beutjer has received his release 

from Iowa, and he said he's considering 

a variety of options, including 

other Big Ten schools. He may also 

select a Division II or II school so he 

can play both football and basketball. 

Ferentz said he did address the 

team following Beutjer's departure 

and was pleased with the Hawks' ability 

to maintain focus and practice 

hard. He reiterated that overcoming 

adversity is the key to a successful 

season, which the Hawkeyes seem 

poised to achieve for the first time 

since his arrival in 1999. 

"I'm confident our guys will react in 

a positive manner," he said. "And I 

think our guys are ready to take on 

whatever challenges confront us, and 

this is certainly one."

Kent State returns 17 starters 

lyiiiUIIIIIIIIwdlllf 


Dean Pees chuckled when asked if 

there are similarities between Iowa 

and his Kent State program. 

He said even though both schools 

return nearly 20 starters and more than 

40 lettermen while spending the summer 

milling over naming their starting 

quarterbacks, the parallels end there. 

"'owa is going through a little bit of 

a slump," Pees said. "Theirs is a program 

with a rich tradition, and I really 

see them getting it back. We're trying 

to build a program that hasn't 

been around for 20 years." 

But taking an active role in rebuilding 

a program isn't new turf for Pees. 

He served as defensive coordinator 

under George Perles and Nick Saban 

at Michigan State from 1995-97. In 

the four years prior to Pees' arrival, 

the Spartans compiled a 14-31 record. 

In Pee ' hort time in East Lansing, 

he helped take the Spartans to three 

con ecutive bowl games and turned

their defense into one of the top 20 in 

the country. 

Then a call came from Kent State. 

Pees knew he wasn't taking over for a 

legend or even for a mediocre coach. He 

was in charge of simply making the 

Gt>lden Flashes a competitive program. 

"' knew somewhat what I was getting 

into," he said. "I kind of relish the 

fact that I didn't have to live up to 

anyone's standard . I wanted the 

opportunity. Even though our record 

is terrible, it's been rewarding." 

Kent State has a 3-30 record in the 

three years since Pees took over. The 

Golden Flashes haven't had a winning 

record ince 1987 when they fin- 

. 

. ,. . 

ished 7-4. 

However, Pees believes his program 

is turning a corner. He said in order to 

become a championship team, the 

players first have to be a competitive 

one. In his first season, the Golden 

Flashes went 0-11. Two years ago, 

they picked up two wins. Last season, 

Kent State put together a 1-10 record. 

Pees also points out that the competitive 

fire he's trying to instill in his 

team began to surlace last eason. 

The Flashes beat Central Michigan in 

double overtime and suffered three 

defeats by seven points or fewer. 

As a coach searching for positives, 

Pees will chalk tho e up as moral 

victorie . 

"We're a lot closer than we've been 

before," he aid.·"Kids understand 

that we were in games last year." 

Senior co-captain Brian Hallett 

arrived on the Kent campu the ame 

year as Pees. 

Hallett has endured three- traight 

ea on of defeat and di appointment, 

but he stands by his coach and 

... 

the direction Pees is taking his program. 

"' love playing for coach Pees," Hallett 

said. "His heart is completely in 

Kent State. He wants to win, I think, 

more than anyone on the team. I just 

want to win 80 badly for him." 

Hallett anchors an offensive line 

that will try to provide ample protection 

for sophomore quarterback Jeff 

Valentino and senior tailback Chante 

Murphy, the team's defending offensiveMVP. 

The knock on Kent State's offense 

is its predictability and lack of bigplay 

guys. 

But sometimes those 27-point 

underdog put up the biggest fight. 

That element of urprise is what the 

Cklldeo Flashes are counting on. 

"A lot of people will think this team 

is a pushover: Hallett said. "I 

thought we played well last year, and 

we've played well against the Big Ten 

schools."

Filling a tight vacancy 

5 

Dallas Clark 

and Erik Jensen 

are fighting for 

playing time 

By Jesse Steinfeldt 


Solid blocking, stretching the 

defense, and making possession 

receptions are all duties that Iowa 

coach Kirk Ferentz hopes his tight 

ends will accomplish this coming 

season. However, he enters the 2001 

campaign without a proven commodity 

at this integral offensive position, 

a void that can potentially hinder 

the promising Hawkeye offense. 

Last year's tight-end minutes 

were dominated by the graduated 

Kyle Trippeer and converted tackle 

Robert Gallery. The candidates to 

fill this void are sophomore Erik 

Jensen and junior Dallas Clark. Neither 

is a necessarily prototypical 

tight end, but both have the opportunity 

to develop into solid performers 

by benefiting from the wide-open 

status of the position. 

"The coaching staff loves competition 

and heated battles," said Clark 

at Iowa's media day on Aug. 10. "The 

next two weeks of two-a-days will be 

the deciding factor [on who starts]." 

Jensen is the only returning tight 

end with experience, lettering last 

season and hauling in two passes for 

37 yards and a touchdown against 

Ohio State. A 6-3, 259-pound former 

fullback from Wisconsin, he 

describes himself as a strong blocker 

who needs work on running routes 

and getting open downfield. 

"I hope to get a couple of catches 

here and there, but I don't pay 

attention to stats. I want to do my 

best, play hard, and contribute to 

the team," Jensen said. 

Clark is the more enigmatic candidate, 

having converted from linebacker 

this spring. With the Jensen 

Harmony Hauser/The Daily Iowan 

Iowa tight ends Erik Jensen, left, and Dallas Clark are battling for the top spot. Currently Clark, a junior, is listed as No. 1 on 

the depth chart. · 

absent in spring practice because of 

an injury, the coaches got a good 

extended look at Clark, a former 

walk-on from Livermore, at his new 

position, and they were impressed. 

An athletic and agile player, Clark 

could be a legitimate receiving threat 

over the middle. However, his neophyte 

status may render him a bit behind the 

eight ball in terms of intangible tightend 

skills. Nonetheless, Clark is picking 

up things on the fly. 

"The team wanted me to put on 

more weight, but I am a strong 243 

[pounds]," he said. "I am learning 

the concept of the offense, what I am 

doing, what my role is. I am beginning 

to see the whole picture in 

order to become a better player." 

The transition from defense to 

offense has also given Clark a newfound 

appreciation for the skills necessary 

to satisfy the offensive line 

requirements of the position. 

"I have the utmost respect for those 

guys," he said in reference to his offensive-line 

teammates. "You'd think they 

are just a bunch of unathletic 300-pound 

guys pushing each other, but they have 

tremendous skills. Right now, blocking 

is tougher for me; I am more natural at 

catching." 

Tony Jackson, a redshirt freshman, 

also made an impression on 

the coaching staff in spring practice 

by getting lots of reps in Jensen's 

absence. With .continued improvement, 

he may be the tight end of the 

future for Iowa. If neither Clark nor 

Jensen steps up, it could happen as 

soon as this fall. 

Ferentz is optimistic that this 

temporary uncertainty at tight end 

will work itself out as the candidates 

fight for playing time. 

"These three players give us a solid 

nucleus going into the fall," he said. 

Solid is acceptable for now, but 

maybe at least one of these guys wi11 

develop into a steady player, perhaps 

even a spectacular one.

Todd Brommelkamp 

I'm having a little trouble looking 

into my crystal ball right now. It's 

been clouded by all the preseason 

magazines I've read; seems everyone 

is down on the Big Ten these days. It's 

the hip thing to do. Even the Big Ten 

coaches don't know what to think of 

the 2001 season, other than to say its 

anyone's game. Well, almost anyone's 

game. (Sorry, Indiana.) 

Who knows what the college football 

gods have in store for the most 

powerful Midwestern football conference 

this season? (Sorry, Mid-American 

Conference.) However, this will be 

a tough first week for most of the Big 

Ten, and there could be a few mild 

surprises. 

Illinois at California 

Let the Reisman hype begin. I, for 

one, have gotten many a mile out of 

my complimentary Kurt·Kittner-for 

Heisman reporter's pad I was given at 

media day, though it isn't half as cool 

as our new Antwaan Randle El mouse 

pad. Too bad I don't

Ron Turner's crew 

gets started down the 

road toward another 

mediocre season with 

a West Coast swing 

against one of the most boring teams 

in the PAC-10. While the Bears may 

play conservative football, they will 

be impro'(ed over last year's 3-8 

record, and the first team to find this 

out will be the lllini. 

California 24, Dlinois 21 

Miami (Ohio) at Michigan 

No doubt several Hawkeye fans will 

be looking for the outcome of this 

game to gauge the 

strength of the Red- Q 0 

Hawks. Don't bother. Mmjlili.ti+ 

Michigan isn't the Q\7Q 

type of team that 

allows one to accurately 

gauge a mid-major's ability on 

the gridiron. 

Even without QB Drew Henson, 

who's fielding ground balls in - of all 

places - Columbus, Ohio, the 

Wolverines should be able to start 

their quest for a Big Ten champi~ 

onship relatively unscathed. 

Michiran 43, Miami 10 

Miami, Fla., at Penn State 

Would the real Miami please stand 

up? I'm very confused 

right now. 

Looks like the 

folks in State College 

might have 

been a little 

befuddled, too, 

when they made this whopper the 

season opener. 

Joe Pa will have an uphill climb to 

tie Bear Bryant's record for most victories 

by a Division I coach when 

Larry Coker makes his Miami debut.

Purdue at Cincinnati 

Someone not named Brees will be 

running the Boilermakers 

offense when 

Purdue tangles with 

the pesky Bearcats. 

Redshirt frosh Brandon 

Hance is the 

lucky man with very 

large shoes to fill. 

Cincinnati nearly stunned Wisconsin 

last season and may come close to 

pulling one out again against another 

Big Ten foe. The Bearcats' defensive 

issues may make Hance's starting 

debut remind folks in West Lafayette 

of Brees, if only for a week.

Wisconsin at Oregon 

And you thought Barry Alvarez had 

a bad limp now. 'Just wait until after 

this one. 

Perhaps the most entertaining of 

all first-week games for the Big Ten is 

this matchup 

featuring the ~ 

·~ ·~ 

truly mighty 

Oregon Ducks 

and Big Ten 

leader (if only for 

a week) Badgers. 

Entertaining only because Iowa fans 

take great pleasure in watching the 

Badgers lose, even more so when they 

lose badly. 

Enjoy this one, Hawkeye fans; the 

Badgers may not lose many other 

games this season.

Hawks won't dominate on Sat. 

Melinda Mawdsley 

Last season, Iowa's "D" earned a 

"D" after finishing near the bottom of 

the Big Ten in every defensive 

category. 

So why have members of the Hawkeye 

defense tossed the word "domination" 

around with straight faces and 

confident voices? 

Because the guys in the 2001 unit 

believe the improvements made the 

course of the past year will allow 

them to command the flow of games 

this time around. 

Iowa will still kick-off against KSU, 

but instead of opening with Kansas 

State, Kent State comes to town. 

The Hawkeyes have done their 

whole "thou shall respect thy opponent" 

speech," which is understandable 

considering they are coming off a 

3-9 season, but this year's defense is 

faster and more athletic, than in 

recent memory. 

Senior Aaron Kampman looks for 

the defense to go three-and-out in its 

first series. 

Senior Derrick Pickens said that he 

doesn't want Iowa's defense to surrender 

any points - any. 

He wasn't kidding, and he wasn't 

the only defensive veteran that felt 

the unit could make a statement Saturday 

by controlling Kent State. 

"Defensively, I want to go out there 

and just completely hit them as hard 

as we can to make them second-guess 

why they are coming to Kinnick Stadium," 

said senior Matt Stockdale. "I 

want this defense to be so hyped and 

stoked with a full amount of energy." 

If his teammates are half as excited 

to begin the season as Stockdale is, 

then the Golden Flashes might want 

to pop a few extra painkillers. 

Still, Iowa finished last season by 

letting Minnesota make a fourthquarter 

comeback for the win. 

However, I expect the defense to put 

on a strong show against an experienced 

Kent State offense, albeit one 

that lacks any proven play-makers or 

winners. 

Iowa's offensive attack lost its own 

talented quarterback after sophomore 

Jon Beutjer decided to transfer earlier 

this week. 

However, he wasn't slated to start. 

Heck, he wasn't slated to play. 

Besides McCann, Iow.a coach Kirk 

Ferentz made it clear he plans on 

using junior-college transfer Brand 

Banks' mobility and athleticism to 

complement McCann. 

True, many felt Beutjer had a 

bright future at Iowa, but the 

Haw keyes are looking to take the next 

step now. 

If the team can put this distraction 

aside, which Ferentz seems confident 

it will do, then Kent State's talented 

linebacking unit should be the only 

thing that worries Iowa. 

Their specialty? Stopping the run. 

They are going after Iowa's star 

Ladell Betts. 

Good luck. 

I predict Iowa's defense will shine 

on Saturday and the offense to rally 

behind McCann, just as many players 

said they would do before learning of 

Beutjer's decision to leave the team. 

McCann appears confident, carrying 

himself as if he never doubted
