Tornadoes giveth, and theytaketh away. It appears the givethportion is going to local repairshops and cleanup crews, nowengrossed in storm-related busi-ness.

Knebel Windows, 700 S. CapitolSt., is just one company workingto clean up damages from theApril 13 tornadoes.

Employees were out the firstfew days after the storm, board-ing up broken or missing win-dows to protect the interior ofbuildings. Lately, workers havereturned to those homes and busi-nesses to finish the job.

“Pretty much everywhere thatthing hit, we’ve been working,”owner Dan Knebel said on Monday.

Workers have kept busy coveringtheir new and old customer basewith a staff of around 10, movingfrom a customary one or two servicecalls a day to eight or 10.

Service Master, a cleaning serv-ice out of Cedar Rapids, has alsobeen out cleaning up after thestorm. It has had around 10-15extra calls since the storm, com-ing during a normally busy timeof year, administrative assistantBrooke Wikcoff said.

Still, she is surprised the firmdoesn’t have more.

“We haven’t gotten as manycalls as we thought,” she said.“People are still in the process ofgathering everything they’ve lostand figuring out what needs to bedone. We’re expecting more busi-ness later.”

Wikoff said she expects work topick up when building reconstruc-tion gets done.

The employees of Quality Care,212 First St., Coralville, are justnow getting busy with storm-related nature work, as largertrees and phone poles are clearedand small debris cleanup contin-ues. Because three workers werehelping the Iowa City staff, hourshave gotten even longer.

“We’re working as many hoursas the daylight will allow thisyear,” said company Vice Presi-dent Geoff Wilming.

Spring is usually a busy time ofyear for Quality Care, but a quietseason in the auto-repair world.But this year is a little different forHarv Rundell, the owner of Harv’sAuto Body, 423 Highland Ave., whosaid his warehouse is filled with 42cars, when there are usually onlyfive or six.

The first call he received forstorm-damaged auto repairs wasat 5:30 a.m. the day after the tor-nado. That car was finished andleft the shop this week.

“It was a big boost in the armfor this businesses’ economy,” hesaid — but he was unable to esti-mate a dollar amount.

Business at John’s Grocery,401 E. Market St., has also

picked up a little, starting witha rush of people on the night ofthe storm, said UI senior andemployee Curtis Enochson. Heand co-worker D.J. Matthewssay they suspect the

semi-surge in business is due tothe Liquor House’s damage andtheir store’s proximity to down-town.

Four months.That’s the extra chunk of time a

woman today has to work to accu-mulate the same income as a manworking in the same position,according to the Iowa Commissionon the Status of Women.

“A woman would have to work 16months to earn what a man makesin 12,” the group’s executive director,Charlotte Nelson, said on Monday.

The disparity highlights the goalof Equal Pay Day, a nationwideobservance designed to raise aware-ness about women’s lagging pay-

checks — 77 cents on the dollar, com-pared with their male counterparts,according to latest census estimates.

“Any employer needs to look care-fully at the wages the employees aregetting,” Nelson said. “Sometimes,it’s a matter of not being aware. Idon’t think it’s blatant, intentionaldiscrimination, but it’s discrimina-tion all the same.”

When minority women are com-pared with men, they fare evenworse than white women. Blackfemales in the United States make66 cents on the dollar, while Latinawomen make 55 cents on the dollar.

But compared with males of thesame ethnicity, the gender gap is

smaller because minority men alsoearn less than white men, said Jen-nifer Glass, a UI sociology andwomen’s studies professor.

The UI extended its deadline Monday for con-clusion of the investigation into allegations fiveIowa football players received preferential treat-ment from a local cell-phone services provider inreturn for 2006Outback Bowl tickets.

President David Skorton andAthletics Director Bob Bowlsbyset a 30-day investigation in ajoint statement on March 23,but Bowlsby said he nowexpects a report by mid-May.

“The Office of the GeneralCounsel and the athleticsdepartment have completedmuch of the investigation, butsome aspects are still pending,”he said in a release. “Some addi-tional time will be necessary toexamine some remainingaspects of the investigation.Barring any unforeseen devel-opments, I’m anticipating thatthe report will be on my desk byabout May 15.”

General Counsel MarcusMills declined to comment onwhich aspects of the investiga-tion are still pending.

Documents obtained from anunemployment-compensationappeals hearing indicate that former IPCS Wire-less employee Jeremy Reed sold a $79.99 head-set and a $49.99 phone charger to a customer for 1 penny each, among other charges.

THE WAGE GAP• It takes a woman 16 months to earn what a man earns in 12 months for thesame job.• Women earn 77 cents for every dollar a man earns for an equivalent job in the U.S.• Women earn 73.7 cents for every dollar a man earns for an equivalent job in Iowa.• Black women earn 66 cents for every dollar, while Latinas earn 55 cents on thedollar, compared with males.• The Iowa Commission on the Status of Women expects it will take until 2040for the pay gap to disappear.

Political squabbles over thestate budget could leave Iowa’spublic universities with lessgeneral-use money than theyhad hoped for, lawmakers andUI officials said on Monday.

A budget plan being debatedin the state Senate would fill arequest from the state Board ofRegents for $40 million tofinance a supplemental fundingplan, but half of the allotmentwould be spent on specific proj-ects rather than being put intothe general fund.

The regents requested theamount be thrown into the gen-eral fund, where, they say, themoney could be used to stabilizetuition and raise facultysalaries. Lawmakers’ mostrecent offer is a jump from the$6 million in general-fund allo-cations proposed early in thesession by a House committee.

The $20 million in earmarkedmoney is to be spent among the

schools to develop the bioscienceindustry in the state.

Regent Amir Arbisser saidhe was unsure of what thefinal package might look like,but he questioned whetherearmarked funds would givethe board enough latitude indoling out the money.

A mid-year tuition increase isstill being considered, he added.

“In the last discussion I had,my expectation was that therewould be some compensationeffect on tuition,” Arbisser said.

Steve Parrott, the UI direc-tor of University Relations,

said the university will likelyreallocate $8.25 million thisyear to hold up its end of theregents’ plan, which stipulates$1 for every $2 received fromthe state be internally shuffledtoward academic goals.

The two largest disagree-ments over this year’s budgetare increases in teacher pay andcuts to Social Security benefittaxes — with legislatorsattempting to balance the mon-etary effects of both.

Gov. Tom Vilsack, talking tolegislators via phone from Cali-fornia on Monday, has also

worked to resolve the lingeringmonetary divides to little avail.

“I would say everything is influx,” Sen. Robert Dvorsky, aCoralville Democrat and co-head of the Senate Appropria-tions Committee.

The legislative stalematehas already kept lawmakerspast their projected April 18end date, but such a situationis not uncommon — last yearthe session went 21 dayslonger than had originallybeen planned.

Tim Albrecht, the communi-cations director for Speaker ofthe House Christopher Rants,R-Sioux City, said Republicanswere holding their ground tokeep spending consistent withstate revenues but anticipatedthe end of the session is near.

“We have come a long way,” hesaid, while reaffirming the taxcuts and teacher pay were themain sticking points. “There is adifferent proposal, every day,from each side.”

• While half of the proposed $40million would be for general use,the rest would be used to imple-ment an economic developmentplan, outlined in the BattelleReport.• Commissioned by the IowaDepartment of EconomicDevelopment in 2003, a study bythe Battelle Memorial Institute on

how Iowa could improve in thebioscience industry found thatstate universities should play alarge role.• A total of $20 million wouldhelp fund research in areas suchas agriculture, medicine, andpharmaceuticals and aid efforts tocommercially license new tech-nology.

The number of applications forUI Student Government posi-tions has been lower than expect-ed, and officials are citing poorcommunicationsand the April 13tornadoes aspossible causes.

The forms forthe charter andadvisory commit-tees, as well aspaid positions,were originallydue on April 21in the UISGoffice,48 IMU.

But thedeadline has been extended toApril 28 because of the smallnumber of candidates.

The groups’ tasks range fromselecting guest speakers to

advising the university librari-an, while salaried jobs includethe City Council and studentorganizations liaisons.

But one UISG officer said pri-orities changed after the April13 storms.

UISG Vice President AddisonStark said student governmentwas a little preoccupied withhelping after the twister and setregular business aside.

Stark is a nonvoting memberon the nominations committee,which appoints applicants forthe offices bearing approval fromthe two of the student senates.

He said UISG’s publishedannouncements were hastilydrawn together in the wake ofrelief efforts.He said an advertise-ment, carried in The Daily Iowan,was created at the last minute.

The notification read “Youknow how we do. Tell them,”and then advised readers to

join the organizations.“It definitely could have been

better,” said Stark, who added itwasn’t “our No. 1 priority.”

But he’s wishing for a betterresponse this time around, with

UISG planning to run a new ad.“I would hope for a few more

applications for each position,”Stark said.

One UISG official agreed withhis assessment on UISG’s alteredconcerns but still said there wereissues with the notice.

Dan Weber, the Undergradu-ate Collegiate Senate executive,said there were commentsamong nomination committeemembers about what the mes-sage meant.

“Obviously, it didn’t seem towork out the way we wanted,” hesaid. “I don’t know if word hasgotten out as well as we’d hope.”

He said 40 candidates wereevaluated on April 23, but hefelt the numbers were lacking.

“There haven’t been as manypositions filled as we wouldlike,” Weber said.

Budget may short regent schoolsTHE BATTELLE REPORT

BY MARGARET POETHE DAILY IOWAN

Nodding at the handful ofgray-haired scholars scatteredamong a crowd of fresh-facedbusiness students, the interna-tional economics columnistencouraged a bit of reminis-cence.

“We remember when tradewas a Wall Street issue,” BruceStokes said in a talk Monday atthe Pappajohn Business Build-ing. “Now, it’s a main streetissue.”

Stokes, a columnist with theWashington, D.C.-based policymagazine National Journaland a former senior fellow atthe Council on Foreign Rela-tions, made two presentationsMonday at the UI.

In an afternoon discussion,which provoked a number ofchallenges and inquiries fromthe crowd, Stokes analyzed the

effect of U.S. trade with Chinaand India in a world powerfullyshifted by globalization. Tradeis what pulls the global econo-my along, he said, and every-one, from small-business own-ers in Iowa to World Bank econ-omists, is taking notice.

His frequent references topopular opinion were not basedon intuition or journalisticexperience alone. As a memberof the Pew Global AttitudesReport research team, he ana-lyzes opinions on issues fromAmerica’s image in the world tothe rising tide of Chinese opti-mism. The project has conduct-ed more than 90,000 interviewsin 50 countries in compiling thedata, according to its website.

While trade — free or other-wise — generates endlessdebate, survey polls showAmericans are “schizophrenic”in their views on the issue, hesaid. Americans seem to want

it both ways — supporting freetrade but also protecting inter-ests, such as U.S. steel workersand the environment.

“They believe in free trade, intheory,” Stokes said, “but inpractice, they’re protectionists.”

Yet this ideology differsamong various sectors of thepopulation. While wealthyurban dwellers tend to endorsefree trade, their lower-incomerural counterparts are general-ly less enthusiastic, he said.Additionally, a divide existsbetween the sexes.

“Women are more worriedabout the future of their fami-lies than men,” he said, whichprompts their skepticism.

A tide against free trade isalso developing among farmers— a small but powerful demo-graphic that traditionallyembraces open markets. Thou-sands of miles from Iowa soil,Brazilian farmers are cultivat-

ing soybeans at competitiveprices, threatening Iowans whodepend on the crop for theirsurvival.

Labeling himself a “pes-simist,” Stokes frequently citedthe United States’ massivetrade deficit with China and adangerously high currentaccount deficit. No majorindustrial country in historyhas boasted such a figure with-out spiraling into financial cri-sis, he said.

The respected Washingtonanalyst acknowledged the com-plexity of debates on trade andglobalization and admitted hedoesn’t have a solution.Instead, he promoted the typeof analysis he offers in hiscolumns.

“We have an obligation todeal with the losers in theseglobalization games,” he said.

Tempers flared at an openforum Monday, as a smallgroup o f op inionated UIcommunity membersexpressed support for andoppos i t ion to a poss ib lesmoking ban in and aroundcampus buildings.

Five panelists from withinthe UI contributed virtuallynothing to the forum, leavingthe floor open to approxi-mately 20 impassionedattendees.

“We understand this is anissue people have really strongbeliefs about,” said Sue Buck-ley, a co-head of the task forceon smoking.

The group is reviewing pos-sible restrictions on outdoorsmoking near UI buildings andareas with authorized indoorsmoking, Buckley said.

UI junior Lindsey McCallasaid at the forum that shesuffers from smoke lingeringon people who take smokingbreaks dur ing c lasses. Aself-described “shy” person,she said she did not knowhow to complain to herteaching assistant, who hassmoked inside the classroomtwice.

“I have asthma, and it reallyaggravated me,” the 21-year-old said.

I n d o o r s o n c a m p u s,smoking is limited to twoh o t e l r o o m s i n t h e I o waH o u s e , t h e U n i v e r s i t yApartments, and on-stageat bona f ide artistic per-formances.

Performance smoking isapproved four weeks beforeproductions and allowed onlyon stages with special ventila-tion systems, said DavidMcGraw, a production stagemanager in the UI theaterdepartment.

“Right now, we’re trying to

find all the ways to minimizethe risks for the audience andfor the actors,” he said.

But UI law Professor MarcLinder said fumes suffuse theaudience when actors smoke.Smoking should be bannedinside all UI buildings, hesaid, including the apart-ments — which, he contend-ed, are “dilapidated” andallow smoke to seep fromroom to room.

“On what basis are you forc-ing me to inhale smoke?” hesaid. “Can you answer thatquestion?”

If policies were changed toprohibit smoking, disgruntledrenters could be freed fromtheir leases, said Von Stange,director of UI Residence Ser-vices.

“If somebody told me therewas something I could andcouldn’t do in my house, I’dwant someone to stand up forme, too,” Stange said. “I believeI should at least advocatesome thoughts [renters] mayhave.”

The group Clean Air forEveryone of Johnson Countywould wholeheartedly supportany future campus bans, saidBeth Ritter Ruback, projectmanager.

“Our coalition would throwits support full force into mov-ing for a totally smoke-freecampus,” she said.

The forum plans to presenta progress report on a possi-ble smoking ban to UI Presi-dent David Skorton by June.I f the main campus com-pletely bans lighting up, itwould join UI Hospitals andClinics, which will enact acomplete smoking prohibi-tion on July 1.

The health-sciences build-ings also have approval to takesimilar measures.

NATIONU.S., Japan agree onforce realignment

WASHINGTON (AP) — TheUnited States and Japan have strucka bargain over a plan to realign U.S.forces in Japan, with Japan agreeingto pay $6.1 billion of the nearly$10.3 billion cost, the Japanesedefense chief said on Sunday night.

Japanese Defense MinisterFukushiro Nukaga told reporters afterhis three-hour meeting with U.S.Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeldthat Japan wanted to have an appro-priate sharing of costs in transferring8,000 Marines from Okinawa to thePacific island of Guam.

Japan has offered to pay $2.8 bil-lion, and the remainder of its $6.1billion share would take the form ofloans to the United States. Japanwould shoulder 59 percent of therealignment cost.

“We have come to an understanding

that we both feel is in the best interestsof our two countries,” Rumsfeld saidafter the meetings.

Lt. Col. Chris Conway, a DefenseDepartment spokesman, saidRumsfeld and Nukaga held extensivediscussions, but he did not have spe-cific details of the meeting. He saidmidlevel officials from both countrieswere scheduled to meet again on theissue, Monday and today.

Nukaga said both sides agreed that

the Japan-U.S. alliance is important, notonly for Japan but also for the region.

“I had not expected that such anagreement was possible,” Nukagatold Japanese reporters, accordingto Japanese broadcast network NHK.“Japan and the United States werestill wide apart on the issue, and Ithought it won’t go anywhere unlessI directly meet with Mr. Rumsfeld fortalks aimed at a breakthrough.”

The United States had proposedin an earlier round of negotiationsthat Japan pay $7.5 billion, or 75percent, of the cost to relocateMarines. Japan had said it wouldpay about one-third of that amount.

The United States and Japan arediscussing the biggest restructuringand streamlining of the U.S. militarybased in Japan in decades.

An outline of the overall realignmentplan was announced in October and wasto be completed by the end of March.However, it bogged down over details.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. — Prose-cutors showed the most gruesomeand heart-rending photos of 9/11again on Monday and told jurorsthat only Zacarias Moussaoui’sdeath could give the victims jus-tice.The defense asked his jury tospurn retribution and not let adelusional and inept terrorist baitthem into making him a martyr.

With those final arguments,the life of the 37-year-oldFrenchman was placed in thehands of the same nine men andthree women who early thismonth found him responsible forat least one death on 9/11 eventhough he was in jail at the time.

Now they must weigh the suf-fering and the glee the con-fessed Qaeda conspirator tookin it on the witness standagainst his role, his mentalhealth and background todecide whether he deserves thedeath penalty or life in prisonwithout possibility of release.

The jurors deliberated for threehours and went home for the day.They will resume this morning.

Prosecutor David Novakshowed photos of a charred bodyin a Pentagon office, of bodyparts at the base of the WorldTrade Center, and of young chil-dren who lost a parent.

“No one can give them justicebut you,” Novak said. “You arethe voice of this nation.”

He told jurors a death penaltywould say: “We are the UnitedStates of America, and we arenot going to put up with a bunchof thugs who invoke God’s nameto kill nearly 3,000 Americans.”

Displaying a photo of theyoungest 9/11 victim — 21⁄2-year-old Christine Hansen holdingan American flag — who died onher way to Disneyland, Novakrecalled Moussaoui’s “utter lackof remorse” when he took thewitness stand and asked: “Howcan any human being rejoice inher death?”

Moussaoui “is nothing but amass murderer,” Novak said.“This defendant is pure evil.”

With such arguments, defenseattorney Gerald Zerkin said, “thegovernment opts for retribution.”But “this is about history,” hesaid. “It is about how our justicesystem responded to the worstterrorist attack on our soil.”

He said even the Nuremberg

trials of Nazis after World WarII handed out only 11 death sen-tences for “the worst atrocitiesin the history of man” and pavedthe way for reconciliation.

Moussaoui is a “a veritablecaricature of an Qaeda terrorist,”“the operative who couldn’t shootstraight” and “the only Qaedaoperative inept enough to be cap-tured before 9/11,” Zerkin said.

“He is offered as a sacrificiallamb” while no charges arebrought against 9/11 master-mind Khalid ShaikhMohammed, coordinatorRamzi Binalshihb, and othercaptured Qaeda leaders,Zerkin said.

He said the government “hasheld out the prospect of Mous-saoui’s execution as the cure” for

the pain of the victims. Butbecause their pain is so severe,“his death cannot and will notmake them better.”

Zerkin recalled other relativesof victims who testified on Mous-saoui’s behalf that they began torecover when they found ways todo something positive.

Moussaoui’s testimony abouthow he relished the pain of the

victims “is proof that he wants youto sentence him to death,” Zerkinsaid. “He is baiting you into it. Hecame to America to die in jihad,and you are his last chance.”

Instead, Zerkin said, the jurycan “confine him to a miserableexistence until he dies and givehim not the death of a jihadisthe wants but the long slowdeath of a common criminal.”

Once Judge Leonie Brinkemahad sent the jury to deliberate,rejected another defense motionto throw out the death penalty,and recessed the court, Mous-saoui, who calls the trial a cha-rade and a circus, raised hishands above his head and leftcourt smiling and applauding.

He had been defiant when leav-ing for the day’s earlier breaks,calling out: “Never get me, Ameri-ca,”“Our children will carry on thefight,” and “There’s more than oneway to skin the American pigs.”

This is the fourth death-penal-ty case in which Zerkin andNovak have faced off; Zerkin’sclients in the three earlier onesall got life sentences. Some ran-cor surfaced as each used theirclosings to criticize the other byname for an argument or line ofquestioning during the trial.

Both may have missteppedsomewhat in their closings, andon the same issue: Moussaoui’ssanity. Zerkin briefly lost trackof his outline and had to goback, almost as an afterthought,to the importance of testimonyfrom defense psychiatrists thatMoussaoui was a delusionalschizophrenic. Mental illness“affects your judgment,” he said.

Later, Novak may have forgot-ten that one female juror is amental-health researcher whenhe said that testimony “is a bunchof psycho-hogwash.” He ridiculedthe diagnosis as a “magical schiz-ophrenia” that Moussaoui couldturn on or off and that “didn’tappear in front of you all.”

ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE— President Bush is trying tocalm Americans’ outrage oversoaring gas prices by orderingan investigation into whetherthe price of gasoline has beenillegally manipulated, hisspokesman said Monday.

During the last few days,Bush asked his Energy and Jus-tice departments to openinquiries into possible cheatingin the gasoline markets, saidWhite House spokesman ScottMcClellan. Bush planned toannounce the action Tuesdayduring a speech in Washington.

Bush is under pressure to dosomething about gas prices thathave reached nearly $3 a gallon.In a new CNN poll, 69 percentof respondents said gasolineprice increases had causedthem personal hardship. Otherpolls suggest that voters favorDemocrats over Republicans onthe issue, and President Bushgets low marks for handling gasprices.

House Speaker DennisHastert, R-Ill., and SenateMajority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., urged Bush in a letter

Monday to order a federalinvestigation into any gasolineprice gouging or market specu-lation.

Senate Democratic leaderHarry Reid of Nevada dis-patched his own letter, callingfor a multi-pronged approach torestrain gas prices. Among thesteps were swift enactment ofanti-price gouging legislation,an appeal to oil companies torefrain from further priceincreases; use of more alterna-tive fuels and increased atten-tion to existing fuel-saving lawsand regulations.

Bush was working on thespeech aboard Air Force One ashe flew home Monday eveningfrom a four-day trip to Califor-nia that ended with a swing

through Las Vegas. McClellanoutlined part of the speech toreporters traveling on the plane.

McClellan said Bush also willannounce that his attorney gen-eral and Federal Trade Com-mission will send a letter to all50 state attorneys general, whohave primary authority overprice gouging, to remind themto stay on top of the issue andoffer federal help to do so. Andhe will call on energy companiesto reinvest their profits intoexpanding refining capacity,developing new technologiesand researching alternativeenergy sources.

“I think you’ll hear the presi-dent say very clearly that hewill not tolerate price gouging,”McClellan said.


the national trend.On average, female profes-

sors at regent institutionsmake $82,382 a year, com-pared with the $94,098 theirmale colleagues receive overthe same time period. For allpositions at the universities,from custodians on up, womenmake an average of $59,102,while males rake in $74,826,according to a 2004 StatusReport by the Iowa Commis-sion on the Status of Women.

But there is hope, Nelsonsaid.

Women filling the role ofinstructor at the three univer-sities make more than men,and the pay gap has “signifi-cantly decreased,” in recentyears, she said.

“We know tenure plays abig role in it, and men havebeen in the so-called pipelinelonger,” she said.

In Iowa, women earned 73.7cents in 2004 for every dollar

men made, the Iowa commis-sion found.

“It’s a disgrace,” saidPamela Stewart, a co-presi-dent for the League of WomenVoters of Johnson County. “It’san age-old idea that womenare inferior to men, which, ofcourse, isn’t true.You wouldn’tbe around if it weren’t forwomen.”

Pay equality has been in theworks since 1963, when theEqual Pay Act was passed — atime when women earnedonly 59 cents on every dollarthe men pulled in, Nelsonsaid.

Pay-equality advocates arehoping to put some musclebehind the 1963 bill. Current-ly in committee is a bill spon-sored by Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, requiring equal pay forequal work.

However, Nelson said, thebill wasn’t making muchprogress, and she noted that ithad been introduced before.

CAIRO, Egypt — Three nearlysimultaneous bombings hit anEgyptian beach resort popularwith foreigners Monday at theheight of the tourist season,killingat least 23 people a day afterOsama bin Laden issued a tapedwarning against Westerners.

The bombers struck the Sinaiseaside city of Dahab in theearly evening along a crowdedpromenade of shops, restau-rants, and bars. Interior Minis-ter Habib el-Adly said thosekilled included 20 Egyptiansand three foreigners. More than150 people were wounded.

The explosions — the thirdterror strike on a Sinai resort inunder two years — hit Dahab at7:15 p.m., when the streets werejammed with tourists strolling,shopping, or looking for arestaurant or bar for eveningfestivities by the tranquilwaters of the Gulf of Aqaba.

“There were just three loudbangs and people rushingaround,” British tourist PaulMcBeath told Sky News.“Everybody is shaken.”

Another witness said the AlCapone restaurant, one of thearea’s most popular spots, wasdestroyed.

“The tables and chairs havegone; there is nothing left,”Joseph Nazir, who owns a safaricompany in Dahab, toldBritain’s Press Association.“Everybody is panicking; a lot ofpeople are crying. We will beaffected by this for a long, longtime.”

Hotels and guesthouses werefilled with foreigners and withEgyptians celebrating the longCoptic Christian Easter week-end that coincided this year

with Shem al-Nessim, theancient holiday marking thefirst day of spring.

For years, Dahab was a popu-lar, low-key haven for youngWestern and Israeli backpack-ers drawn by prime scuba div-ing and cheap hotels, whichmainly consisted of huts set upalong the beach. In recent years,a number of more upscale hotelshave been built, including afive-star Hilton resort.

At least three Israelis werehurt in the attack, which sent asteady stream of cars back toIsrael some 65 miles to thenorth. Israeli authorities said1,800 of their citizens were inthe Sinai at the time of theblasts. However, there were farfewer Israelis vacationing inSinai than during last week’sPassover holiday.

Israel’s ambassador in Cairo,Shalom Cohen, said the Israeligovernment had warned repeat-edly against visiting the Sinai.

“Unfortunately, the warningscame true,” he told Israel’sChannel 10 TV.

President Hosni Mubarak,whose economy is heavilydependent on tourism, called theblasts a “sinful terrorist action.”

President Bush also con-demned the attacks.

“Today we saw again that theterrorists are willing to try todefine the world the way theywant to see it,” Bush said in LasVegas.

The Interior Ministry saidthe wounded included 42 Egyp-tians and 17 foreigners —including three Americans —while police put the number ofwounded at more than 150. Thediscrepancy could not be imme-diately be explained.

Police said one Russian andone Swiss were among the dead;

el-Adly would not confirm thosenationalities.

Terrorist attacks have killednearly 100 people at severaltourist resorts in the SinaiPeninsula in the past two years.

Bombings in the resorts ofTaba and Ras Shitan, near theIsraeli border, killed 34 peoplein October 2004. Suicide attack-ers in July in the resort ofSharm el-Sheik killed at least64 people, mainly tourists.

The Egyptian government hassaid the militants who carriedout the bombings were localswithout international connec-tions, but other security agencieshave said they suspect Al Qaeda.

In Washington, a U.S. coun-terterrorism official, who spokeon condition of anonymity incompliance with office policy,said it was unclear who wasbehind Monday’s attack.

Officials there have not ruledout Al Qaeda involvement buthave no evidence showing thatis the case, the official said. Nordo they have any evidence thatbin Laden’s tape was linked tothe attack.

Bruce Hoffman, a RAND terrorism expert, agreed in atelephone interview fromWashington.

“It’s an extraordinarily shortturnaround — it’s impossible tosay at this point.”

Hoffman said Egypt was oneof the most proficient MiddleEastern countries in dealingwith terrorist groups, so thisattack showed “how adept andinnovative these groups are.

“It may be that the SinaiPeninsula is [Egypt’s] Achillesheel. They’ve gone up and downthe coast and hit the maintourist resorts,” Hoffman said.

KATMANDU, Nepal —Nepal’s embattled kingappeared to defuse weeks ofmass protests that havepushed this Himalayan coun-try near the brink of anarchy,reinstating the lower house ofParliament on Monday as hisopponents had demanded.

With few choices left andhoping to avoid a bloody show-down between demonstratorsand his security forces, Gyanen-dra’s announcement cleared theway for the creation of a newConstitution that could leavehim largely powerless or eveneliminate the monarchy.

He also expressed his sympa-thies for the 14 demonstratorskilled by his security forces innearly three weeks of protests.

“We extend our heartfelt con-dolences for all those who havelost their lives in the people’smovement,” Gyanendra said inthe address, broadcast on statetelevision and radio.

Nepal’s three largest opposi-tion parties welcomed the king’scomments, and the sounds ofcelebratory shouts and whistlescould be heard in the streets ofKatmandu minutes after the11:30 p.m. speech.

Gyanendra “has addressedthe spirit of the people’s move-ment” and met the demands ofthe main opposition seven-partyalliance, said Ram ChandraPoudel, the general-secretary ofthe Nepali Congress.

The address effectively handedpower back to elected politicianshours before the largest plannedprotest yet, with hundreds ofthousands of people expected toattend.The seven parties plannedto meet Tuesday to call off theprotests, party officials said.

From now on, the seven-partyopposition alliance would “bearthe responsibility of taking the

nation on the path of nationalunity and prosperity,” Gyanen-dra said in his address.

“We are confident the nationwill forge ahead toward sustain-able peace, progress, full-fledgeddemocracy and national unity,”said the king, sitting rigidly infront of a blue backdrop decorat-ed with royal emblems.

For much of the crisis, Gya-nendra had remained silentand invisible, hidden behind

the walls of his heavily guardedcentral Katmandu palace andkept in power because of theloyalty of his army and police.

The reaction of Nepal’s Maoistguerrillas, who have seizedmuch of the rural heartland in abloody decade-long quest forpower and who had joined withthe alliance to back the protests,remained unknown.

However, their influence hassurged with the protests, and

they would almost certainlylobby for a role.

In the Chabahal neighbor-hood of Katmandu, about 50people streamed into the streetsinging and clapping.

“This is the people’s victory!Long live democracy!” theychanted.

“The people from every cornerare pleased to come and cele-brate,” said Prakash Nepal, a 40-year-old bank employee among

the crowd. Other rallies werereported elsewhere in the city.

The reinstatement of Parlia-ment was a key alliance demand.

The reinstated lower house,which the king called to conveneFriday afternoon, was to createan interim government underthe alliance’s plan, which wouldthen set up special elections foran assembly. That assembly, inturn, would write a new Consti-tution. Parliament’s lower

house holds real elected powerin Nepal’s Constitution.

The Constitution will almostcertainly bring dramatic politi-cal changes. Most oppositionleaders favor a Constitutionthat would give Nepal a ceremo-nial monarchy, or simply elimi-nate the royalty completely.

Countries with strong ties toNepal were encouraging Gya-nendra to give the oppositionalliance what it was demanding,including the reinstatement ofParliament, and an apology forthe killed demonstrators, said adiplomat, speaking on conditionof anonymity because of thesensitivity of the discussions.

Protests have rocked Kat-mandu and many other townsfor nearly three weeks, andpolice have clashed repeatedlywith demonstrators demandingGyanendra relinquish theabsolute power he seized 14months ago when he dismissedan interim government, sayinghe needed to bring order to thechaotic political situation andcrush the Maoist insurgency.

The interim government wasone of many he had named toreplace the Parliament dis-solved in 2002.

The protests and generalstrike have paralyzed the coun-try, with the capital locked downby repeated curfews, roadsblocked by protesters, and foodand fuel increasingly scarce.

Amid the increasing chaos, theState Department earlier Mondayordered all non-emergency embassystaff and family members to leaveNepal, according to an embassyspokesman,Robert Hugins.

Protests had intensified sinceFriday, when Gyanendra offeredto let the opposition alliancenominate a prime minister andform a government. On Satur-day, one march even got withina few blocks of the palace.AP writers Binaj Gurubacharya and Matthew

Rosenberg contributed to this report.

Nepal’s king accedes to opponents’ demands

Gautam Singh/Associated PressPeople celebrate on the streets as police look on late Monday night in Katmandu, Nepal, after the country’s embattled king reinstated thelower house of Parliament, a key demand of the alliance leading weeks of pro-democracy protests.

So I see that the local Republicans,student edition, are holding a weekof events designed, I guess, to pro-mote the Cause Conservative. Sort oflike a retreat in full view.

Well, great, I say. I think it’s won-derful when people of like mindsget together to share their alike-ness and to get to know one anoth-er, all six or seven of them.

All right, all right. I know full wellthat there are more than six or sevenconservatives in these environs. Theywrite me love notes all the time.

One of the events will be a dodge-ball game withthe UniversityDemocrats, and Iwish theRepublicans thebest of luck, notthat they’ll needit. I mean, quitefrankly, theRepublicansshould be able tosmear the Dems,at least in dodgeball.

I mean, histor-ically, Republicans are far more art-ful dodgers than are Democrats.

And for another thing, to steal(and then paraphrase) a line fromthe great Saul Alinsky, Democratscan’t organize a luncheon, so I’mpretty sure they’ll show up for thegame in full disarray.

Or as the great humorist WillRogers once famously quipped, I’mnot a member of any organizedpolitical party. I’m a Democrat.

One thing about the GOP shindigdoes concern me, a little bit, any-way: They’re naming each day inhonor of a famous conservativeRepublican. Yeah, it’s a little hokey,but all right. But their choices?Ronald Reagan day? Yeah, I know,Republicans revere him, but heshould have been impeached.

And Richard Nixon day? The manwas impeached by the House andresigned in utter disgrace because of theWatergate scandal (and no — Watergatewas not some kind of liberal plot; all theplotting was done within the Nixonadministration).Who in her or his rightmind would want to give Nixon a day?Why not give Jack Abramoff a day? He’sa famous Republican conservative,albeit going to prison.

What have these people beensmoking?

And where can the rest of us getsome?

You might want to ponder thosequestions a bit when you realizethey’re giving a day to George W.Bush, too. Yeah, I know — I’m notGeorge’s biggest fan. Which is prob-ably putting it a tad mildly.

But the Cowboy in Chief has beenan utter disaster. Or as Princetonhistorian Sean Wilentz puts it in TheRolling Stone, “Calamitous presi-dents, faced with enormous difficul-ties — Buchanan, Andrew Johnson,Hoover, and now Bush — have divid-ed the nation, governed erratically,and left the nation worse off. In eachcase, different factors contributed tothe failure: disastrous domestic poli-cies, foreign-policy blunders and mili-tary setbacks, executive misconduct,crises of credibility and public trust.Bush, however, is one of the raritiesin presidential history: He has notonly stumbled badly in every one ofthese key areas, he has also dis-played a weakness common amongthe greatest presidential failures —an unswerving adherence to a sim-plistic ideology that abjures devia-tion from dogma as heresy …”

And we saw yet another exampleof this on CBS’ “60 Minutes,” whena former top CIA official, TylerDrumheller, described how theBush administration “fixed” theintelligence in the run-up to theinvasion of Iraq. “It just sticks inmy craw every time I hear themsay it’s an intelligence failure. …This was a policy failure.”

Drumheller also said, “The policywas set [in the fall of 2002]. Thewar in Iraq was coming. And theywere looking for intelligence to fitinto the policy, to justify the policy.”

Many of us have been saying thisfor awhile now, but this is the firsttime a high-ranking CIA guy hassaid, basically, the Bush administra-tion willfully ignored intelligence thatdidn’t dovetail with its determinationto go to war. Drumheller not onlydetailed the CIA’s misgivings aboutthe Niger uranium deal, he droppedthis bombshell: The CIA turned thethen-Iraqi Foreign minister, NajiSabri, and he disclosed Saddam’s mil-itary secrets. At first, Drumheller,said, the administration was excited,but when Sabri said Saddam had noWMD programs, the White Houseignored the intelligence.

So yeah, College Republicans,have a day for George W. Bush. Butyou should arrange for the sun tocome up in the West, just so the dayis properly twisted.Beau Elliot wonders why the Republicans don’t have

a Warren G. Harding day. Or a Herbert Hoover day.

The generosity of many in our community after the April 13 tornadoesis a welcome sign of the character of our residents. However, the pastweek has seen even the most well-intentioned relief efforts receivescrutiny. And even though these efforts were in the most charitable spir-it, the giving parties should be sure to remember all of those experienc-ing hardship from the storm, rather than just the just highly publicizedvictims.

A charity basketball game between graduating Hawkeye athletes —Greg Brunner, Jeff Horner, Erek Hansen, Doug Thomas, and JustinWieck — and Iowa City West staff members garnered criticism forattempting to donate the money to St. Patrick’s Catholic Church. Thegame was originally scheduled in January to benefit local schools; thefive UI seniors requested to allocate some of the proceeds to St. Pat’safter the storms ripped off the building’s roof. In response, the FreedomFrom Religion Foundation of Madison, Wis., filed a complaint with IowaCity School District Superintendent Lane Plugge: “We understand theplayers often turn the events into charitable endeavors, which is highlylaudable, but they cannot do it at the expense of the U.S. Constitutionand the Iowa state Constitution.” Instead, $1,000 of the money raisedwent to the American Red Cross for general tornado relief.

While the donation’s legal basis might have been doubtful, the founda-tion’s complaint was undoubtedly tasteless: The fundraiser did not seekto send public money to a church, merely use a public court that is freelyavailable to nonreligous events as well. In the UI Year of Public

Engagement, it is ironic that an agency outside the state would criticizethe players’ choice in charities. A somewhat more significant point, aswith any donation to a specific recipient, relates to all those who do notreceive such aid.

The Alpha Chi Omega sorority house has received national attentionand breaks from nationwide chains: Target has allowed sorority mem-bers to place needed items on its gift-registry list, usually open only formarriages and bridal showers, while Perkins hosted a breakfast for thesorority free of charge. These gestures are both very kind, and the sistersare absolutely deserving of aid, but there are still numerous other dis-placed storm victims who would have greatly benefited from a free mealor a gift registry to list needed toiletries, food, clothing, or other itemslost or damaged in the storms.

There continues to be an outpouring of support and compassion forthose adversely affected by the storm. Individuals have a right to decideif they want to help a specific victim or group of victims; businessesshould follow the lead of governments by distributing aid fairly to allaffected instead of just high-profile ones. A good place to start might bethe recently created UI Student Disaster Relief Fund. It allows affectedstudents the opportunity to apply for relief through the Office ofFinancial Aid. Students can apply for the tax-deductible donations andbe evaluated on a case-by-case basis for both this most recent tornadoand any future natural disasters affecting students. Donations to thefund would be seen as practical and fair, as well as compassionate.

Mind all needy when giving

Conflict of interestIn previous columns, I’ve

often argued, to the bereavementof many, that the United Statesshould follow its interests firstand foremost. Pursuit of a moralagenda, while not always occurring at the expense of self-interest, should be a peripheralconcern. On the surface, thismay seen cold-hearted; yet, asrecent events indicate, my posi-tion simply reflects the reality ofworld politics.

Last week, Saudi Arabia andChina penned substantive agree-ments that sought to increasecooperation and facilitate moretrade. Fostering this relationshipare increasingly strained rela-tions with the United States anda growing market for oil inChina.

Prince Walid, quoted in theNew York Times, sums up the sit-uation nicely. He states, “It’s clearSaudi Arabia is going where itsinterests are, and China is goingwhere its interests are.” WhatWalid articulates is a classicsecurity dilemma. While many inthe United States may want to fol-low moral agendas, we shouldn’t,because if we don’t follow ourown interests, the other guys willfollow theirs.

The law of unintended

consequences is in effect here aswell. An additional reason thatChina is a more attractive tradepartner is because there aren’tstrings attached regarding politi-cal reform and democratization.If we were to maintain a hard lineon moral issues, such as democ-racy and reform, trade partnerscould simply look to nations thatlag just as far behind in theseareas.

The increasing power of Chinacreates a situation that is likely toget worse over the next severaldecades. Right now, China isn’tseriously challenging U.S. hege-mony, yet this could change rela-tively quickly. This is particularlydisheartening, since, as noted inthe Times article, China has pro-vided weaponry to Saudi Arabia inthe past and may be a likely sourcein the future.

From a humanistic standpoint,of course I would like to seemore respect for democracy andhuman rights throughout theworld. However, I also think wewould have less bargainingpower in moral realms if we werea less powerful state. This mayseem austere, yet so long asstates are sovereign over them-selves, this is a reality of theinternational system.

Legal fixWith more than 11 million illegal immigrants in

America, politicians must first find a way to identifythose illegally in the United States and grant themcitizenship. Instead of trying the impossible act ofremoving all illegal aliens, many of whom with chil-dren who hold American citizenship, lawmakersmust address the real problem at hand before build-ing any fences. The only reasonable way to solvethe problem of immigration is to grant illegal alienscitizenship, who will then start to pay taxes and con-tribute to the country they are already living in.

Many say that allowing these aliens to say wouldbe wrong, arguing that it would be similar to allow-ing a man who has stolen a car to keep it, assuminghe agrees to pay taxes on the car. This is, however,a very irresponsible way to approach the problem.There is no legal way to steal a car; however, immi-grating to the United States is legal for some andillegal for others. Often time, the only differencebetween the legal and illegal immigrant is a lotteryheld to see who will be accepted into the country.Because of the unfairness of this system, illegalimmigration is in no way like stealing a car andmust be dealt with compassion and respect.

Most immigrants are hard-working people whoare, for the most part, being taken advantage ofbecause of there “illegal” status. Companies oftenuse such aliens at much reduced wages, treatingthem as indentured servants, against any basichuman rights. The government must stop pretend-ing as though this problem does not exist and solvethe problem, once and for all, by granting aliens citi-zenship and starting the war on illegal immigrationfrom square one.

Official orderFollowing the storm that tore through Iowa City

on April 13, rescue workers and police rushed to thescenes to handle the mobs of people and the trafficthat slowly wound around the streets downtown. Inthe aftermath of the storm, when power lines weredown and people were bewildered from just havingbeen through a tornado, campus and city police setto work to get the town back to order.

Even in the chaos and the darkness, city officialsremained calm and collected. I was amazed as Idrove home from work that night how organized andsystematic it all seemed. It had only been a half anhour since the storms wreaked havoc on downtownIowa City, yet everything seemed to be under con-trol. However, I waited in traffic for 45 minutes as Iattempted to make my way home down Burlington.

I was also amazed at how many people I sawgoing downtown. It had not really occurred tome that it was a Thursday night, which meansthe bars were most likely crowded with people.I realized that so many people were downtownat the time of the tornado and became worriedabout friends and fellow students that may havebeen hurt by the storm. However, I could notget it out of my head the crowds of peoplegoing downtown. As if the city did not haveenough on its plate, officials had to deal withthe people roaming around downtown, trying tosneak a peek at all the damage.

It seemed almost wrong to me that people car-ried on and continued drinking and hanging out inthe midst of destruction. I think the officers andcleanup crews deserved more respect, in regardsto people evacuating the area, while they attemptedto restore order and pick up after the tornado.

It’s difficult to pinpoint whenDan Savage, America’s mostpopular sex-advice columnist,stopped being shocked.

Maybe it was after he becamedisenchanted with misguidedheterosexual advice columnists.Or, maybe it was after he start-ed his syndicated column, “Sav-age Love,” which now appears inThe Onion. The column, afterall, sees the 41-year-old answerletters about oral sex, relation-ships, and fetishes, rangingfrom the occasional guy who hassex with his mother to the occa-sional guy who eats his feces.

“And then you get a letterfrom some guy eating his moth-er’s poop,” he said in a phoneinterview with The DailyIowan. “Nothing [is shocking]anymore.”

Jaw-dropping candor is thename of the game with Savage,who will arrive at the UI todayas part of the university’s lec-ture series. He will host a ques-tion-and-answer session at 7:30p.m., free of charge, in MacbrideAuditorium.

Of course, his brassy wit isn’tlimited to sex advice. He’s alsothe editor at Seattle’s alterna-tive weekly newspaper TheStranger and a bestselling

author. His latest book, TheCommitment: Love, Sex, Mar-riage, and My Family, followshis decision to marry his part-ner of 10 years and the politicsof gay marriage.

But Savage’s main dragremains “Savage Love,” wherethe liberal pundit strives todestroy sexual taboos.

“I tend to be sort of kamikazeabout the letters,” he said. “IfI’m convinced my opinion isgoing to get me screamed at byhalf the world, those are theones I rush into the column.”

Though his advice often spitswith vulgarity, it’s also deliveredwith breakneck sincerity.

Savage defends his foul-mouthed frankness, noting adifference between opennessand offensiveness. He slings theword “faggot” freely, but eventhat, he says, doesn’t necessari-ly constitute malice.

“It can be offensive, and itcannot be offensive,” he said,citing U.S Sen. Rick Santo-rum’s disapproving commentsabout homosexual acts. “WhenRick Santorum uses the word‘homosexual,’ it sounds like aninsult, and when I do, it does-n’t.”

Savage plans to use his lectureat Macbride to court questionsfrom audience members. Written

queries can be submitted to himbefore the lecture begins, and livequestions from seated audiencemembers will be answered aswell. Also guaranteed is the intel-ligent raunchiness that defineshis support of sexual freedom.

“There’s no normal. Everyonethinks there’s one kind of sexthat normal people are havingwith their normal partners …but everyone’s a freak,” he said.“If what you’re looking for out oflife is a ‘normal’ partner — thenyou’re shit out of luck.”

For some UI freshmen, thewritten word isn’t meant onlyto be read.

In the fall of 2004, Patrick“Patch” DeLoach, a resident ofthe UI’s newly establishedIowa Writers’ Learning Com-munity floor presented fellowresidents with a chance toexpand their writing experi-ence from prose and poetry toone-act plays. The program,Free Association Student The-atre, will present the secondevening of its two-part, one-actplay showcase today at theMill Restaurant, 120 E.Burlington St., at 6:30 p.m.

This year, DeLoach willreturn to assist the currentcrop of Writers’ Learning Com-munity residents in theirattempts to produce a repeatone-act festival.

“Last year was the floor’sfirst year, and it only could doso much,” he said. “There weresome floor residents interestedin writing theatrical scripts,and they didn’t have an oppor-tunity to workshop theirpieces. This gave them thechance.”

DeLoach said the nascentcommunity hastily developedits première fest, adding thathe worked to ensure the playsunderwent proper preparation

for their debut.The first performance, on

April 12, included three playswith a combined cast and crewof, akin to last year, nearly 20undergraduate students.

Tonight’s performance of threeremaining scripts require simi-lar student effort. While thedirectors and writers for eachone-act live on the writingfloor, the floormates informally

recruited a number of theactors from the PerformingArts community in hopes ofallowing aspiring actors achance to polish plays.

Many of the scripts come

from drafts written while stu-dents were enrolled in basicplaywriting classes last semes-ter. Participants benefitedfrom a group dynamic, inwhich all helped edit eachother’s works.

After completing the scripts,writers paired with undergrad-uate directors, who togetherselected actors and began a 10-week rehearsal period incorpo-rating small props — pencils,purses, phones — and learningto make best use of the Mill’slimited stage space.

Though DeLoach no longerlives on the Writers’ Communi-ty floor, he responded to hispeers’ request that he pitch in;he will direct Karl Gronwall’splay, “My Dinner with Mara.”

“These plays have been achance for all of us to learnwhat it takes to get a group ofpeople together and really puton some theater,” Gronwallsaid. “That’s damn cool.”

Remember the 2005 Capital OneBowl? How about the 2006 OutbackBowl? Of course you do.

You recall Drew Tate’s 56-yard heaveto Warren Holloway against a brokenLSU secondary for a game-winningscore. And just seeing replays of thatterrible offside call when Floridawas reeling evokes memories ofhow badly you wanted to inflictbodily harm on the officiat-ing crew.

What you probablyhaven’t retained,though, is that line-backer AbdulHodge was absolute-ly dominating in each of the twocontests. Hodge, a late-first,early second round draftpossibility, will be a bet-ter professional line-backer than hisincredibly popular

teammate, Chad Greenway.In Iowa’s last two January show-

downs, the Fort Lauderdale, Fla.,native set a school record for tackles ina bowl game, with 16 against the

Tigers in 2005, and then sur-passed it this season withan Outback Bowl record 19stops. Impressed? The list

goes on.The dreadlocked-

headhunter finished hisillustrious career third

on the all-time tackles listat Iowa, with 453 — 47more than Greenway.

And, while Greenway wasthe more acclaimed of the two —garnering much more preseason

hype than Hodge — too many timesthroughout the season, the shaggy-

haired senior got burned on routineplays.

I heard The Sporting News hadonce called out Iowa outside line-backer Chad Greenway, saying hewas overrated. The same publica-tion said the same thing aboutthe Chicago Bears’ BrianUrlacher.

If there are any othercomparisons out therebetween the two, thenGreenway’s going to haveone hell of an NFL career.

For starters, he’s a sure first-round pick. ESPN’s Mel KiperJr. had him going in the draft’stop 10 at one time, and while hemight not go top 10 this Satur-day, Greenway has lived up to allthe hype he’s gotten thus far.

As a first-rounder, he’s goingto be looked upon by whateverteam drafts him as someonethat can be a leader in thenear future. Greenway was

one of the anchors of Iowa’s defenselast year.

Contrary to what Conference USAofficials thought they saw in lastyear’s Outback Bowl, Greenway is a

smart football player whoknows what he’s doing on spe-cial teams. That ability willnot only get him selected

higher, but it also meanshe’ll get a chance to startright away wherever hegoes.

All the scouts outthere that say he’s abad tackler need to shut

up. When Greenway’s com-ing at you, you’re goinghard to the ground. Just

ask Northwestern quarter-back Brett Basanez.The guy is an athlete with amaz-

ing speed, and he’s capable of playing

Spartans’ Brown putsname in draft

EAST LANGSING, Mich. (AP) —Michigan State junior ShannonBrown will enter his name in theNBA draft, but he hasn’t hired anagent, leaving open the possibilityof returning to college.

Brown averaged 17.2 points, 4.4rebounds, and 2.7 assists last sea-son at Michigan State and sharedteam MVP honors with Paul Davisand Maurice Ager. While he had asolid season, he didn’t finish well,scoring five points on 2-of-11shooting in a first-round loss toGeorge Mason.

The 6-4, 205-pound guard fromMaywood, Ill., is expected to com-pete at the NBA’s pre-draft camp,June 6-10 in Orlando, Fla., where hewill be able to gauge what leaguescouts think of his game. Brown isregarded as a player that is expectedto be drafted late in the first or earlyin the second round, if he stays inthe draft.

He has until June 18 to pull hisname out of the draft, which will beheld June 28.

Jason Williams and ShaquilleO’Neal each scored 22 points for theHeat, with Wade getting 21 points,seven assists, five rebounds, and foursteals. Miami held a 20-point lead inthe third quarter and saw it trimmedto four with 1:15 left, but Wade’sheroics down the stretch ensured theHeat wouldn’t suffer an epic collapse.

Missed chances and anotherdropped game pushed theIowa softball team furtherdown the Big Ten ladder.

With just two weekends ofBig Ten soft-ball remain-ing, theHawkeyesdroppedanother con-ference game,losing 12-4 toIndiana in sixinnings onSunday.Iowa’s loss,coupled withNorthwest-ern’s sweep ofMinnesota —which includ-ed a 4-3, 18-inningmarathon winfor the confer-ence-leadingWildcats —means theHawkeyes’chances of a Big Ten titleappear to have vanished.

“I don’t think the title iswithin our reach at thispoint,” coach Gayle Blevinssaid. “We felt like we prettymuch needed to win out. Atthis point, what we’re doing isworking hard to finish as highas we possibly can and putourselves in as good a positionas we can going into the con-ference tournament.”

Even with their regular-sea-son title hopes likelysquashed, the Hawkeyes arestill 9-5 in Big Ten play andsitting in fourth behind North-western, Michigan, and OhioState, which Iowa will host onFriday and Saturday at PearlField.

Before facing the Buckeyes,Iowa must tangle with Northern

Iowa tonight. The Panthers are12-33-1, 2-17 in the MissouriValley.

“It’s great. We love playingat home; our team lovesplaying at Pearl Field,”Blevins said. “Two greatopponents are coming in thisweekend, in Ohio State andPenn State. They will betough games.”

After Indiana had jumpedto an early 6-0 lead on Brit-tany Weil in the first gameof the double-header withthe Hoosiers, the Hawkeyesbattled back to trail 6-2.But Indiana pushed thelead to 9-2 and put thepunctuation on the gamewith a walk-off home runfrom Rachel Terry.

The Hawkeyes were ableto pull one back, winninggame two with a dominantWeil returning to the circlefor a complete game 3-2win, but it was too little toolate for Iowa to pull withinstriking distance of theWildcats, who sit 2.5 gamesahead of the Hawkeyes inthe standings.

“We’re too many games backto have a shot at taking them,”Blevins said.

But now, with seven-straight home games — theHawkeyes don’t go back on theroad until they close Big Tenplay at Wisconsin on May 6and 7 — Blevins feels herteam must capitalize on itstime in Iowa City.

“You want to take advan-tage of every opportunityyou have,” she said. “Westart [tonight] with North-ern Iowa, and we want toget on a good note, and fin-ish on a good note, and headinto the tournament thatway.”

First pitch with the Pan-thers is scheduled for 5 p.m.

While the rest of her team-mates take to the tennis courtand compete in their respectivedoubles matches, Iowa fresh-man Merel Beelen sits in thebleachers, waiting to take thecourt for her singles match anddo her part in helping theHawkeyes win.

“I’m really focused on thedoubles, because I l ike towatch them and see howthey compete and cheer forthem,” Beelen said. “Afterthat, I’m just focusing on mysingles.”

Iowa coach Daryl Greenanwas ecstatic when he learnedBeelen was going to makethe journey from her nativeland of the Netherlands toIowa City to play for histeam. He said he ’s beenpleased with what’s she beenable to do.

“She’s real fun to coach,”Greenan said. “She’s got agreat attitude and is realeasy-going.”

Beelen’s tennis career beganat 8, when her stepfather tookher to some courts to play.

“I just had so much fun, andsince then, I’ve been playingevery day,” she said.

As she grew older, shebegan playing in tournamentsall across the Netherlands.When it was time for herdecide what she wanted to dobeyond the Dutch equivalentof high school, she made thedecision to come to the UnitedStates.

“I just wanted to do some-thing different, and I didn’tknow what to study back home,”Beelen said. “I wanted to playtennis, and here, I can bothstudy and play tennis.”

When she began, she had todeal with speaking a differ-ent language and playing ona new type of court surface.One thing she feels helpedher make the transition washaving teammates that werealso in her shoes. The tennisteam features three other

international players, two ofwhom are also freshmen.

“It ’s kind of a comfort,knowing that there are peo-ple around you in the sameposition as you and doing thesame thing, so if you haveany problems, you go to

them,” Beelen said.One of her biggest fears

about coming to the UnitedStates was that she would gethurt. Unfortunately for her andthe rest of the Iowa team, thatnightmare became a realityright away.

She suffered what hercoach called a mild anklesprain while the team wasplaying in Colorado in Febru-ary. Beelen got back into thelineup and has been playingsingles in the No. 6 spot formost of the season, butGreenan said this year hasdefinitely been frustratingfor her.

“I knew she was frustrat-ed and anxious to get back,”he said. “She’s starting tocome around and put a littleextra time out on the court,now that she can handle itphysically.”

On April 2, in a match againstMichigan, Greenan found outBeelen was not only back butthat she was still everything hehad expected her to be when shebeat the Wolverines’ LindseyHoward.

“We needed that win totake the pressure off of[Hillary] Mintz’s match, andthat was a really big win forher,” Greenan said. “It wasjust a sign of things to come,and it showed what she’scapable of.”

Greenan is also confidentthat Beelen will only get better,as her career progresses.

“There’s no doubt, if shestays healthy, whether she’sgoing to be an important playerfor Iowa,” he said. “She’s got alot of talent, and I’m sure we’regoing to see more of that, nextyear.”

BY WILL LESTERASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — Mostbaseball fans think MajorLeague Baseball could domore to curb the use ofsteroids, and they have doubtsabout slugger Barry Bonds ashe chases the sport’s careerhome run record.

Baseball has fallen short onkeeping the sport drug-free,according to 53 percent in anAP-AOL Sports poll. Those mostlikely to feel that way are fans30 and older and those withmore education.

Almost two-thirds of fanshave unfavorable or mixedfeelings about Bonds, the SanFrancisco Giant star who ischasing the home-run recordwhile fending off accusationsthat he used steroids.

Hank Aaron holds thehome-run record of 755, fol-lowed by Babe Ruth with 714.The 41-year-old Bonds is clos-ing in on Ruth’s mark.

For many baseball fans, sus-picion about steroids is stealingthe joy from watching Bonds’bid for history.

“It’s upset me,” said WilliamDobney, a retired schoolsuperintendent and baseballfan from Grandy, N.C. “You seeguys go out there on the field,and you don’t know if they’reusing God-given strength ordrug-enhanced strength.”

Bonds has denied in sworn testi-mony ever using steroids,althoughhe acknowledged using two sub-stances that he says he didn’t knowwere steroids.Prosecutors say theybelieve the substances weresteroids.

Major League Baseball isinvestigating Bonds’ possibleinvolvement with perform-ance-enhancing drugs. Almosttwo-thirds of fans say theythink baseball is treatingBonds fairly.

Many fans say Bondsshould not be allowed intobaseball’s Hall of Fame if he’sfound to have used steroidsor other such drugs. But thetiming of any steroids usecould be crucial in publicsupport for Bonds gettinginto the Hall.

Half the fans in the poll wereasked if Bonds should be allowedinto the Hall of Fame if he is foundto have used steroids or other per-formance enhancing drugs, and61 percent of them said no.

However, the other half of thesample was asked if he shouldbe allowed in the Hall if he wasfound to have used such drugsonly before baseball enactedrules against them in 2002, and57 percent said yes. Casual fanswere most likely to shift theiropinion about allowing Bondsin the Hall, depending on thetiming of steroids use.

Nonwhites were twice aslikely as whites to say the black

outfielder should be allowedinto the Hall of Fame, if he’sfound to have used steroids.

One longtime opponent ofBonds on the playing field saysthe Giants’ outfielder definite-ly belongs in the Hall of Fame.

“He was the best player inour league, the NationalLeague, for a long time,” saidMike Scioscia, a former LosAngeles Dodger who nowmanages the Angels in theAmerican League. “What hemight or might not have donedoesn’t lessen his Hall ofFame stature.”

The first rules against steroidsagreed to by management and

the union went into effect in Sep-tember 2002. Testing began inspring training 2003, but penal-ties for failed tests weren’t inplace until 2004.

Last fall, major league play-ers and owners agreed totoughen penalties for steroiduse to a 50-game suspensionfor a first failed test, 100games for a second, and a life-time ban for a third. Under thepolicy, players are given urinetests at least twice during theseason and could face morerandom testing.

One critic of baseball’s drugpolicy is Dr. Gary Wadler, asteroids expert based at New

York University MedicalSchool. Baseball should doblood testing, expand the listof prohibited substances, andhave a more ambitious sched-ule of random testing, hesaid.

Wadler said it appears thatbaseball is more committedto getting rid of steroids, buthe had reservations aboutthe current policy.

“It’s better than no testing atall, but it’s significantly shortof the gold standard,” he said.

Major League Baseballspokesman Richard Levinresponded: “We have the tough-est drug testing program inprofessional sports, right now.”

Almost two-thirds of base-ball fans, 63 percent, saythey care “a lot” if playersuse steroids or other per-formance-enhancing drugs.Those most likely to care alot were fans who closely fol-l ow basebal l , were moreeducated, and older.

“The new baseball rules aresufficient, but they had to bedragged kicking and screamingto this,” said 60-year-old fan

Samuel Spear of Mount Vernon,N.Y. Spear said his view ofBonds is “basically unfavorable.”

“If he took steroids, he’s acheater,” Spear said. “It’s assimple as that.”

The AP-AOL Sports pollo f 793 basebal l fans wasconducted by Ipsos, aninternational polling firm,April 10-12 and April 18-20and has a margin of sam-pling error of plus or minus3.5 percentage points.

for whoever takes me in.”Iowa took Johnson in

pretty quickly — he showedearly that he would be anasset in the secondary for along t ime. A four-yearstarter, he helped theHawkeyes to their best runin school history. Not a coin-cidence.

“I feel like I invested a lotat Iowa and made thingshappen,” he said. “I’ve beenunder the radar all my life,out of high school, and I’min the same spot now.”

Johnson knows his namewon’t be called on day one ofthe draft , and he under-stands it may not even becalled on day two.

“If that is the case, I’ll gofrom there, and hopefullysomeone will pick me up asa free agent,” he said.

ESPN.com has him as the32nd-best available corner-back, with all but one ofthose players ahead of himhaving more “ideal” size.

“Sure, my size is a weak-ness, or at least that’s whateverybody says,” Johnsonsaid. “But my ball skills andawareness aren’t bad.”

No kidding. He was a ballhawk as a Hawkeye, makingbig plays in big games andbecoming a weapon ondefense.

“It would be interesting tosee the stat on how many[All-Big Ten] guys haven’tbeen drafted,” said BrianFeltes, a representative ofJohnson’s at Infinite SportsConcepts. “So there woulddefinitely be a degree of dis-appointment.”

However, Feltes believesJohnson ’s name wi l l becalled sometime in the sixthor seventh round.

“It’s hard to tell, becauseit ’s so crazy at the end,”Feltes said. “Teams are justtaking chances on guys atthat point, but I would expecthim to fit in around there.”

For Johnson, “fitting in” is anew concept, because at Iowa,he always stood out. And now,he has to wait, as playerswith more inches, rather thanmore skills, are drafted.

“I’ve been doing this mywhole life,” Johnson said. “Ishowed I could cover at Iowaon both sides, and I showed Icould play nickel. And what-ever role I’m in, I’ll accept.”

He might end up being a

third- or fourth-string cor-nerback in the NFL, askedto roam the middle and doexactly what he did in col-lege — send the other team’soffense back to the bench. Orhe might not. Either way,Johnson is approaching itthe same way he always has.With open arms.

“I ’ve been small all mylife,” Johnson said, with alaugh. “This isn’t new to me,

but we’ll see what happens.”E-mail DI reporter Bryan Bamonte at:

up the $100. “It was a sad time.”The youngster needed a place

where death, money, and all theother haunts of growing up onthe tough streets of Tampa,Fla., would disappear. His per-fect place — the football field. Itwas an outlet for his frustra-tions, fears, and ferocity.

“It got so bad,” Brenda Allensaid. “I had to break down andtell him.”

The admission was as big ablow a blossoming young grid-iron stud could take — a shyAntwan couldn’t hold back thetears.

Her job as a health aide at astate immunization clinic didn’tprovide for much extra cashafter the bills were paid. Shesupported Antwan and his olderbrother, Michael, with the helpof other family members.

As the deadline approachedfor the summer league, oneother person became eternallylinked with the Allen clan. Butto this day, no one knows whohe or she is.

In a stunt straight out ofGreat Expectations, an anony-mous person paid the fee at thelast minute — Antwan couldwipe away the tears and tradethem for some eye black.

“Low and behold, the Lordsent someone my way,” saidBrenda Allen, a stomach-cancersurvivor.

Antwan Allen said he stillwould like to thank whoever itwas.

The next possible crises for

the Allen family will come thisweekend, as the NFL draft com-mences. Antwan Allen is likelyto go undrafted, but an invita-tion to sign with a team andcompete for a spot during train-ing camp is a possibility.

“It’s always been a dream ofmine to play at the next level,”he said. “I will play for any teamthat wants me.

“However I can get on thefield, I’ll take it.”

Antwan might find himselfon the bench or as a special-teams contributor at the start ofthe pro season. He said red-shirting as a freshman at Iowawas good preparation for that.

“I learned a whole lot thatseason,” he said. “I wish I wouldhave learned more and watchedmore film.

“If it happens, it happens. Ifnot, there’s always anotherroad.”

Drew Boylhart, a draft ana-lyst forwww.thehuddlereport.com, saidAllen shows good speed, thoughnot good enough for the nextlevel. He added that corner-backs such as him are a dime adozen.

“I’ve heard it all my life,” saidAntwan about the critiques.“My first defensive-backs coachin high school told me I would-n’t be able to play there. Mystrength coaches here told me Iwouldn’t be able to play here.”

He’ll have to prove themwrong, one more time.

GREENWAY CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

What Greenway lacks intechnique and tackling, hemakes up for with his top-endspeed. Hodge, a tad slowerthan Greenway, doesn’t havethat luxury. He’s an old-school,hit-you-in-the-mouth type oflinebacker. Hodge is similar toMiami Dolphin Zach Thomas.Both are undersized. Neitherhas Greenway-esque velocity.But what they lack in aesthet-ics, they make up for with hus-tle and heart. In case you werewondering, Thomas hasrecorded 1,400 tacklesthroughout his 10-year tenurein South Florida.

Greenway is a sexy prospect.With speed, agility, and size, theMount Vernon, S.D., native willcreate mismatch problems fornumerous NFL offensive coor-dinators. Hodge is a machine,though. Expect the undersizedlinebacker — whose biggestintangible is the size of hisimmeasurable heart — to daz-zle fans for years to come.

BY DAVE GOLDBERGASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — A week ago,there were rumors out of Houstonthat had the Texans leaning awayfrom taking Reggie Bush with theNo. 1 pick and toward MarioWilliams, the North CarolinaState defensive end who is sup-posed to be a cross between JuliusPeppers and Lawrence Taylor.

Indeed, they even began talk-ing with Williams. Disinforma-tion, perhaps, but standard.

More than any other, this drafthas been full of that kind of thing.

On the web. On talk radio.Everywhere. The NFL draft,which will take place Saturdayand April 30 at Radio CityMusic Hall, has become foot-ball’s most overanalyzed event,even by the people in charge.What prospective draftees didon the field last fall has beenforgotten in the tempest fromJanuary through April.

Consider Vince Young’s Won-derlic score. LenDale White’sweight gain and hamstringinjury. Jimmy Williams’ sup-posedly lackadaisical attitude.And the endless debate overwhether Jay Cutler, the Van-derbilt quarterback, belongswith Matt Leinart and Young atthe top of the quarterback pool.

Remember that the draft is reallya crapshoot. First-rounders oftenfail, second-rounders and lower suc-ceed,asdid linebacker Lofa Tatupu,who as a second-round rookie lastseason led a defense that helpedSeattle to an NFC championship.

Remember also that everyonelies. Or says nothing.

“You know this is a time whennobody really ever really kind oftells the truth about what theyplan to do,” Miami coach NickSaban said last week. “I certainlywould never deceive you in any-thing that I told you, so ratherthan deceive you, I would justrather not tell you certain things.”

“Certain things” almost surelystart with Bush, described bysome as the next Gale Sayers.Or the next Barry Sanders. He’sa unique talent who can turn agame on one play.

So when Paul Tagliabue calls toorder his final NFL draft as com-missioner, HOUSTON will use it onREGGIE BUSH, RB, Southern Cal.

2. NEW ORLEANS. Aftersigning Drew Brees, the Saintsbrought in Leinart for a work-out. Is that because Brees iscoming off shoulder surgery? Oris it to suggest to the Titans andJets that they have to trade upto get him? Linebacker A.J.Hawk — but more likely:D’BRICKASHAW FERGUSON,OT, Virginia.

3. TENNESSEE. NormChow, the offensive coordinator,had the same job at SouthernCal and tutored Leinart. TheTitans might like Vince Young,but MATT LEINART, QB,Southern Cal, is the safer pick.

4. NEW YORK JETS. Theyhave a sore-shouldered ChadPennington and the newlyobtained Patrick Ramsey. Bothare ifs, so they could move up tosecond for Leinart — with the

29th and 35th picks as bait. Ifnot, MARIO WILLIAMS, DE,North Carolina State.

5. GREEN BAY. One reasonBrett Favre keeps putting offhis decision on retirement is thesorry state of the Packers. A.J.HAWK, LB, Ohio State, won’tturn them around for Favre’slast season but eventuallyshould be an impact player.

6. SAN FRANCISCO. Anotherteam that needs everything andcould move up using the newlyacquired 22nd pick for Williamsor Hawk. If not, VERNONDAVIS, TE, Maryland, seems tobe a special athlete at a positionthat’s in vogue.

7. OAKLAND. The Raidershave Aaron Brooks, who finallywore out the Saints’ patience.VINCE YOUNG, QB, Texas, isan Al Davis type pick who mightbe something special.

8. BUFFALO. One mistake ayear ago was letting PatWilliams go to the Vikings.Williams is listed at 320 pounds.Maybe 420? Whatever, BRO-DRICK BUNKLEY, DT, FloridaState is a svelte 306 — or so theysay. He fits the purpose.

9. DETROIT. The Lions havetaken Charles Rogers, RoyWilliams, and Mike Williamsthe last three years and for avariety of reasons still don’thave a healthy No. 1 widereceiver. Roy is from Texas, as isMIKE HUFF, DB, Texas.

10. ARIZONA. No matter howgood Larry Fitzgerald is (he’svery good), the Cardinals mighthave been better off with Ben

Roethlisberger or Philip Riverstwo years ago. Kurt Warner wasEli Manning’s caddie in NewYork, so he can do the same forJAY CUTLER, QB, Vanderbilt.Dennis Green has actually saidhe’ll take him here if he falls;see above for untruths.

11. ST. LOUIS. The Ramsreplaced coach Mike Martz withScott Linehan, another offen-sive guy. But they need defense,especially at tackle. HALOTINGATA, DT, Oregon, eventhough the Rams have usedthree first-round picks at thatposition since 2001.

12. CLEVELAND. TheBrowns were aggressive duringthe off-season, signing LB WillieMcGinest from New England tohelp Romeo Crennel’s youngcharges learn the 3-4 defense.Willie can be especially usefulwith KAMERION WIMBLEY,DE/LB, Florida State, who Cren-nel hopes will stay healthierthan the last two No. 1s, KellenWinslow and Braylon Edwards.

13. BALTIMORE. Would takeYoung or Cutler. Instead, a book-end for Jonathan Ogden, WIN-STON JUSTICE, OT, the thirdSouthern Cal player chosen.

14. PHILADELPHIA. TheEagles like aggressive defend-ers, a description that fitsERNIE SIMS, LB, FloridaState. The reservation is fiveconcussions in college.

15. DENVER. Tatum Bell is apart-timer, and so is RonDayne. The Bengals alwaysseem to get productive runningbacks late, but why not the

explosive DE ANGELOWILLIAMS, RB, Memphis.

16. MIAMI. Sam Madison wasa salary-cap casualty. JIMMYWILLIAMS, DB, Virginia Tech,has been falling for a variety ofreasons. Not past this spot.

17. MINNESOTA. One of abunch of teams that could uselinebackers in a draft with a lotof good ones. CHAD GREEN-WAY, LB, Iowa.

20. KANSAS CITY. Fresh bloodfor the annual defensive overhaul.TYE HILL, CB, Clemson.

21. NEW ENGLAND. BillBelichick was a young assistantin the Meadowlands when RobCarpenter was a Giants run-ning back. Rob’s son, BOBBYCARPENTER, LB, Ohio State.

22. SAN FRANCISCO. The49ers got this pick in a deal withDenver and might try to package itto move up for Hawk or Williams.If not, MANNY LAWSON,DE/LB, North Carolina State, amuch-needed pass rusher.

23. TAMPA BAY. Brian Kellyand Ronde Barber are 31 and30, respectively, but old enoughto start breaking in ANTONIOCROMARTIE, CB, FloridaState, who can take his time

recovering from a knee injury.24. CINCINNATI. No one in

Cincinnati remembers when theBengals drafted this low.Defense is still a need. DONTEWHITNER, S, Ohio State.

25. NEW YORK GIANTS.They were set to take a line-backer. Now they have LaVarArrington, making the needmore pressing. ASHTONYOUBOUTY, CB, Ohio State,although they could trade downfor needed defensive tackle helpor even a running back.

26. CHICAGO. Plenty ofdefense. Desperate for offense.CHAD JACKSON, WR, Florida.
