Alexander relishes spring drills

Everyone is entitled to one moment.
For Kansas quarterback Jay Alexander, his moment came in late October 1998 when he led the Jayhawks to an upset of then 17thranked Colorado. For that one week, Alexander was known simply as "the man."

Even though such a name is usually reserved for basketball players around the hoops-crazy Kansas campus, Alexander took the newfound success in stride and was called upon the following week to repeat the feat against Kansas State.
The result was a 54-6 shellacking at the hands of the Wildcats, and talk around campus turned off the new quarterback.
Spring drills have given Alexander a chance to look forward to the future.
"It was great," Alexander said of his sudden success. "I just had a good time out there playing, helping my team out as best I could."
But during spring drills, Alexander has found himself back with the second team, watching quarterback Zac Wegner toss the pigskin like he never missed a beat.
Alexander, who arrived at the University last fall, said he was counting on his experiences and knowledge of the system to carry him during his second round of practices with the team.
"I know so much more about the offense," Alexander said, comparing himself now to where he was last fall. The added knowledge of the offense may or may not mean more playing time for Alexander in the upcoming season, Allen said.
"It's critical for him to get better." Allen said. "He did a good job for us, but he kind of tailed off. It's important for him to continue to climb that ladder."

Freshman excels by winning 10 straight
Kansas had its second scrimage of the spring yesterday, as both the offense and defense went full tilt for about half an hour. The team wraps up its series of three practices in three days today.

On a college tennis team, every position, from No. 1 singles to No.6 singles, shares equal importance.
Quentin Blakeen, Charlotte freshman who plays No. 5 and No. 6 singles, has proved that the Kansas men's tennis team this season by providing consistency in the lower half of the lineup.
wining consistency in the tower halfway Sunday against Colorado, Blakeney, 10-1 this season, won his 10th-straight match, the longest winning streak since Trent Tucker won 18 in 1997. Before Sunday, the season's longest winning streak had been nine by No. 18 LeUlis.
Blakeney also has proved that he can win under pressure. In the team's first Big 12 Conference match, Blakeney claimed the decisive victory against Nebraska by defeating Kal Rieke, helping the team to a 4-3 win. He beat Rieke in three sets 6-4, 3-6, 6-4.
"I didn't know I was trying to break Luis's record until I saw it in the paper," Blakeney said. "I was very surprised."
His win Sunday contributed to the team's 4-3 victory against Colorado in a match where the upper half of the lineup faltered, leaving it to freshmen Blakeney, Alex Barragan and Rodrigo Echaguarà to produce the victory.
Eklegaray to provide Blakeney also has been a steady presence in No. 3 doubles, accumulating a 7-2 record with partner Eckagaray.

advantage, so the person who wants to win the most is usually going to win. You can't walk in thinking you have an easy win. You have to be ready for a dogfight every time.
Teammate Kenny Powell said Blakeney contributed to the team by providing a strong work ethic and unselfish attitude.
"He's a coach's dream," Powell said. "He's not arrogant, and he's very open and willing to learn. He works hard, he isn't selfish and he puts the team first. Even without winning 10 in a row, he brings a lot to the team because that's just who he is."
bakeney started playing tennis when he was about 10 with his father, Jonathan. His skills continued to develop through high school as his coach, Calvin Davis, taught him strategy to compliment his talent.
In high school, Blakeney was ranked 20th in the nation in doubles and 64th in singles. He played on four state championship teams.

Robinson is Running Out Of Time... And Students Are Running Out Of Choices
Robinson is running...out of time, out of space, and out on students.
- 90 percent of students are in favor of new a facility, now,and want to help pay for it.
- The Recreation Task Force met with and heard from thousands of students.
- They want a new facility, now.
- I the time to give it to them is now.
- Without a new facility, Robinson will continue to...
- Provide fewer and fewer hours for students use, and more hours for academic use.
- Provide the least amount of space for the largest student body in Kansas.
- Compare poorly with K-State, who's Peterson rec. center is twice the size of Robinson.
Why Now?
- Bond prices are lower today than the have been for years.
- Every year we wait, inflation raises the cost of a new facility $400,000.
- Our generation has an unique opportunity to leave behind a campus service like the union was left for us.
Guarantees
- At Kansas State, when they passed a similar referendum, recreation became the number one service to students on campus. That can happen here at KU.
- With a building of this new facility, recreation space at KU will double
- If you vote yes for the referendum your recreation fee will only be raised once, this is guaranteed from the State bonding procedures.
