Jayhawks extend Manhattan winning streak to 22
The Jayhawks' top three scorers — senior forward Wayne Simien, senior guard Keith Langford and sophomore guard J.R. Giddens — combined for 65 of the Jayhawks' 74 points as the Kansas men's basketball team improved its Big 12 Conference record to 9-0. The Jayhawks have a two-game lead in the conference. PAGE 18
COLUMN: Miles has off night, but other starters pick up slack
Senior guard Aaron Miles has run the point for the jayhawks for four years, but had one of the worst games of his career last night, turning the ball over eight times and scoring just one point. His teammates did just enough to escape Manhattan with a victory, however, and Miles should still be considered for postseason honors, columnist Jack Weinstein says. PAGE 18
Women's basketball misses last shot, falls to Oklahoma State
Junior guard Eric Hallman, who led the jayhawks with 15 points, missed a desperation three-point attempt that would have tied the game, and the jayhawks fell, 57-54. The Cowgirls denied the jayhawks their fourth conference victory, which would have been their best total in five seasons. PAGE 1B

If any user does use the network inappropriately, Facebook will kick the person off the Web site, Hughes said. Students can also block particular users from seeing their profile by going to the privacy options page.
"We're confident that our members are intelligent enough not to give out any personal information that they want to be public." Hughes said in an e-mail.
Internet users use Facebook for more than just to meet fellow college students. Giving too much information could make students vulnerable to identity theft and stalking.
Devon Vaughan, Versailles, Mo., sophomore, encountered the risk of revealing too much information.
Chris Hughes, co-founder of Facebook, said in an e-mail that Facebook was a secure Web site with a "miriad of privacy options."
A man found her class schedule on Facebook — an online social network aimed to connect the college population.
He began constantly sending her instant messages asking her about her hobbies, classes, and friends. Finally, she blocked him from sending messages.
While Facebook is a fun, social networking system for some students, it may put users at risk. Posting a real telephone number or address could create a dangerous situation, said Kathy Rose-Mockry, director of the
Family Taylor Women's Resource Center.
"I would have never thought some one would go as far as stalking me, but it turned out to get pretty creepy." Vaughan said.
Through Facebook, students are able to create a profile as well as post their school courses, a picture of themselves and even put up their cell phone numbers and home addresses.
Once created, the profile can be viewed by peers at their school who are signed up for Facebook and those added as friends. Students don't know who might look at their profile, write down their information and show up at their door the next day.
Rose-Mockry warned students about stalking. She said that it was not just females victims, but men can also be stalked. Added to that is "fun harassment," where a person repeatedly calls or "cyber stalks" an individual by e-mailing them excessively. A student can become a victim of identity theft if they post enough personal information.
Capt. Schuyler Bailey, KU Public Safety Office spokesman, warned students to post a limited amount of information about them, especially regarding addresses and date of birth. It is information that other people do not need to know.
Bailey reminded students that even if their school is the only one to directly see the profile, they don't know every user that accesses their profiles.

Museum offers student night

Oh yeah, and some Japanese art, too.
STUDENT NIGHT
Wanted: University students with little art knowledge for a night of food, drinks and music at the Spencer Museum of Art.
Oh yeah, and some japanese art, too. The art museum, located south of Strong Hall, is hosting its first student night, "Tradition & Modernity" from 7 to 9 p.m., at the Asian gallery in the museum.
The event is the art museum's student advisory committee's first attempt to attract students who don't regularly attend art events or who are in non-art oriented disciplines.
Students who study architecture, civil engineering, mathematics, and poetry can benefit from visiting the museum, Kristina Mitchell, education director of the art museum, said.
"I think there's lots of people on campus that don't even know we have an art museum — or anything about it at all." Geneviève Boyle, student advisory committee member and Salina sophomore, said.
"Right now we've got that Tokyo woodblock show upstairs that's focused on a time in Japanese history after an earthquake in the '20s," Mitchell said. "If you're an East Asian history student, print making, architecture or even civil engineering, I

mean, it would be interesting to see how the city rebuilt itself."
The museum will also offer a related tour of "Tokyo: The Imperial Capitol," on Feb. 24.
The exhibit features a series of early 20th century woodblock prints entitled, "One Hundred Pictures of Great Tokyo in the Showa Era," by Koizumi Kishio.
The art museum's permanent collection of woodblock prints from the Edo era (1615-1868) will also be shown.
Saralyn Reece Hardy, the new director of the art museum, who is taking over in March, is expected to attend this event. This is the first student event that Hardy will attend.
"I am excited about the energy of students," Hardy said. "Students can frame compelling questions about what the art museum should be and the role that an art museum should have on a university."
Visitors will be served Japanese teas and pastries. Some KJHK DJs will play Japanese pop music.
"I like the media mix," Meredith Vacek, student advisory board member and Lawrence nontraditional student, said. "It will stimulate multiple senses. There's something for the sight, something for the cars and something for the taste buds."
The student advisory committee wants to break the stereotype that art museums are boring places where people have to be quiet, and instead create a comfortable place that stimulates conversation, Vacek said.
Some students visit the art museum for class assignments, but not for pleasure. Sarah Malekyar, Overland Park junior, and Cali McIntosh, Dallas, Texas, sophomore, said they studied art there for their Greek and Roman Mythology class.
A second student night is scheduled for May 12. The museum is also preparing a campus-wide survey to get student feedback about the museum, Rula Andriessen, Salina freshman, said.
The advisory committee was formed last fall as a way to get more student influence into the museum, Mitchell said.
"They just really care about the museum." Mitchell said. "We're a University art museum and we're here for them. Students are our mission."
About 100,000 people visit the art museum annually. Bill Woodard director of communications for the art museum, said.

What would get you to go to the Spencer Museum of Art?
"Events that deal with students majors and interests."
— Kay Konda, Spearville senior
"Better advertisement.
I don't really know about what exhibits are going on. Free refreshments would be good, too."
Compiled by Neil Mulka
"If they had more exhibits I'm excited about or even if I knew about them. Perhaps some modern art."
LeAnna Kemp,
Kansas City, Mo., junior
"I like art, every kind of art — especially contemporary art. Something from the 16th century or 20th century art would be great."
— James Martell,
Mexico City graduate student
"If there was an exhibit of a well-known artist, I would go if there was a big name. Maybe Matisse, or Picasso, or Pollock."
Cali McIntosh,
Dallas sophomore
