Law dean resigns to teach
McAllister also wants time with family
BY ERIC SORRENTO
esrentringo@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
After five years as dean of the law school, Stephen R. McAllister will resign from his position on Aug. 15 and return to the KU School of Law as a professor.
A search committee for a replacement dean has not been organized yet, said Lynn Bretz of University Relations.
Search efforts will begin sometime this semester.
The 42-year-old said that being with his family during the holidays contributed to his decision.
"I would like to spend more time with my family and kids," McAllister said. "I feel like I'm still young and there are lots of things I can do."
He and his wife, Suzanne Carey McAllister, have four children and are expecting another daughter in February.
Dedicated to building projects at Green Hall, he will remain dean until August when improvements are scheduled to be completed.
More than $350,000 was raised to remodel Green Hall.
1980
New furniture, lighting and an entryway are included in the plans.
MCALLISTER
The building will contain a new student conference room and a new kitchen and lounging area.
McAllister said that the second building improvement would bring new technology to Snell Courtroom in Green Hall, in order for the school to keep up with technology in the law field.
Michael J. Davis, professor of law, said that he worked with McAllister to set up functions for KU alumni. He said that the law school continuously improved under McAllister's leadership.
"I think that the whole faculty is pleased that he's staying with us," Davis
said. "He's a terrific teacher, a hard worker and will be a productive member of the faculty for the rest of his time here."
McAllister said he would teach three classes when he returned to the University of Kansas as a professor in August. He said that teaching his class in constitutional law was what he was best suited to do. McAllister will also teach courses on constitutional litigation and torts, a required first-year course for law students.

The recently finished Hall Center for the Humanities lights up along Sunnyside Drive. Faculty and staff moved in to the newly renovated building on Jan. 10. The arches were saved from the University of Kansas' old Powerhouse.
New humanities site features historic facade
Hall Center moves to new building that incorporates old Powerhouse arches

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The Hall Center for the Humanities has preserved the oldest building on campus from the inside out. Contractors built the new center within three of the Powerhouse's four walls, which maintained its original arcade of
six arches that faces Sunnyside Avenue. Steel beams were placed between the new building and the top of the arcade and the east wall to keep them from falling down.
"I think this is an eloquent testament to the value of conserving and treasuring KU architecture," said Marilyn Gridley, past president of the Historic Mount Oread Fund. "We're very fortunate the
Hall family and the administration found this way to incorporate them."
Preparations for the new $6.2 million building began in 2001 when the humanities department announced a $4.07 million donation from the Hall Family Foundation. State funds provided $1.89 million and the additional

Protest boycotts spending money
Local backlash at Bush inauguration
BY JASON SHAAD
jshaad@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
To protest the expense of the war in Iraq and President Bush's second inauguration today, Allan Hanson has decided to leave his wallet at home. He won't go grocery shopping or fill his car with gas.
He won't spend a dime.
He won't spend a time.
Hanson, professor of anthropology and member of the Lawrence Coalition for Peace and Justice, is protesting by participating in "Not One Damn Dime Day," a protest based on boycotting all consumer spending today.
The economic boycott is meant to make a connection between the number of American corporations profiteering from the war in Iraq and people's disgust with that, he said.
According to the Web site, www.notonedamndime.com, the goal of the protest is not to spend any money for 24 hours.

Harry Shaffer, professor of economics, is participating in the boycott with Hanson.
Lawrence businessman Matt
Sullivan isn't worried either.
"We just want to send the message that we don't agree with the war in Iraq or the celebration of the inauguration during a war." Shaffer said.
He found out about the boycott through an e-mail. Despite the economic implications of the boycott, Shaffer said he did not think the protest would harm local businesses. No more than 5 percent of any population participates in protests, said Ronald Francisco, professor of political science.

Allan Hanson, professor of anthropology and member of the Lawrence Coalition for Peace and Justice, thumbed through a copy of Cows,Pigs, Wars and Witches yesterday in his office in preparation of a mock inauguration of President Bush.

'The Wall Street Journal' to be free across campus
BY DANIEL BERK
dberk@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
John Williams, educational sales rep.
Students had been requesting the newspaper for several semesters, Jeff Dunlap, student body vice president, said.
Money that was found after a financial audit will fund the program, Dunlap said.
By the end of this month, The Wall Street Journal will be available to students campus wide through efforts of the Student Senate.
The University of Kansas is the first college to offer the newspaper campus wide.
"The reason why we are working with Kansas is because they picked us," Williams said. "It was very refreshing working with the Student Senate because they are working solely for the students."
The program is separate from the newspaper readership program, which offers the Lawrence Journal World, The Kansas City Star, USA Today and The New York Times.
resentative for The Wall Street Journal, said there is a simple reason why the publication is working with the University.
Issues of the newspaper will be available in open, free-standing units. KUIDs will not be required.
Bins will be stationed at various
locations throughout campus including Budig Hall, Watson Library and the Kansas Union.
In addition to offering the publication, The Wall Street Journal will also have experts from around the country come to the University to lecture faculty on certain subjects and integrate the newspaper into the curriculum more.
Christopher Anderson, associate professor of business, said he was excited about the addition of The Wall Street Journal to campus because it would help his students stay informed and educated on current events.
"Now that the newspaper is available, I will be less hesitant to assign readings from it," Anderson said. "I have always encouraged my students to
read The Wall Street Journal because it is an excellent source of news and I think this will benefit students greatly."
The newspaper offers two types of programs to colleges. The first is journalism education, where the newspaper works directly with professors of a designated school or major. The second type of program is the academic partnership, where the newspaper is offered on campus.
Both programs will be instituted at the University.
Williams said he hoped that having The Wall Street Journal on campus would help students prepare for life after college.
WALL STREET LOCATIONS
The Wall Street Journal will be available at six locations on campus.
■ Summerfield Hall
■ Budig Hall
■ Spahr Engineering Library
■ Anschutz Library
■ Kansas Union
He said regardless of a student's major or what school they're in, the biggest

benefit the newspaper offers is to inform students about current world events.
The program also includes 675 electronic subscriptions.

6. Any team may call roll at any time.
7. Camping can be suspended if there is a justifiable reason, a majority of the present teams agree and a notice is posted with the date and time that camping will resume. Any team arriving during suspension may add their name to the list.
8. When campers are asked to exit the fieldhouse to line up before game time, one or more groups must be in charge of lining up the teams.
9. Be courteous of other groups.
1. Camping will take place from 6 a.m., until 10
n. m. every weekday and weekend
How does camping for basketball games work? KU Athletics doesn't administer or oversee camp in any way. Basically, a group signs up at the beginning, and has to be represented by at least one person from 6 a.m. to midnight, every day. If your roll is taken and a group has no representative, they lose their place in line. Check out the more detailed rules here.
3. Each team may consist of no more than 30 members. Half of this number, up to 15, may enter the fieldhouse when the doors are opened.
4. Camping for a game cannot begin until 6 a.m., following the preceding home game.
p. 121. If the fieldhouse is closed, it will be put to a vote by the teams if camping should continue. If voted to continue, camping will be in the parking garage. If suspended, a list will be posted and teams can add their names.
5. Camping will be suspended for one hour prior to an out-of-town game and will resume one hour after the end.

Judge: former director must settle dispute out of court
Judge Michael J. Malone ruled last Friday that the former director of the University of Kansas Alumni Association must settle his dispute outside of court through arbitration.
Fred Williams sued the association for breach of contract and defamation when it fired him on May 27, 2004, after 21 years of employment.
Williams argued that the wording in his contract did not show mutual agreement between the two parties to arbitrate.
The contract stated that the parties desired to resolve all disputes without resorting to litigation. He also argued that arbitration did not cover the defamation claim.
Dani Litt
In his memorandum of decision, Malone also said that all proceedings in case must be stopped until arbitration is finished.
Judge Malone ruled that the parties had "agreed to arbitrate, not litigate," based on the language in the contract.
Lighting fixture causes fire in Spencer Research Library
On Jan. 7, a small fire broke out in a spare room of the Spencer Research Library.
A student employee was in the room when a lighting fixture caught fire. The melting plastic then fell to the floor, igniting the carpet.
The actual cause of the fixture's ma function remains unknown. Sheryl Williams, curator of the Kansas
Rick Clement, a special collections librarian, had already extinguished the fire by the time KU Public Safety Officers arrived.
Upon investigation, only the fixture and a small carpeted area were reported damaged. None of the library's collections were harmed.
Collection, said she suspected the filter placed over the light was a possible culprit. The filters protected the collection from lighting and have accumulated plenty of dust over the years.

University alumnus donates $10million for economics
The Kansas University Endowment Association and the department of economics have received a $10 million donation from a KU alumnus.
Charley W, Oswald, a 1951 graduate in economics, donated the gift. Oswald, who now lives in Custer, S.D., also donated $10 million in 2001.
Oswald's gift in 2001 was used to create two distinguished faculty positions, said Joe Sicilian, chairman of the department of economics. Oswald's current gift will help create a third distinguished professorship, Sicilian said. Some of the donation will also be used to fund guest speakers and faculty and student travel fees.
Jason Shaad
"It's encouraging that his goals are the same as ours," Sicilian said.
Sicilian said Oswald believed strongly in the benefits on an undergraduate program in economics.
Alumnus donation to attract molecular biologist University
Irving S. Johnson, a 1953 University graduate, donated more than $500,000 to fund a professorship in molecular biology
Thanks to a recent donation, another molecular biologist will be joining the University of Kansas.
The Hall Family Foundation of Kansas City, Mo., matched the gift, bringing the total to $1 million.
Kathy Suprenant, chairwoman of molecular biology, said the professorship would act as a catalyst to bring prestigious faculty and students to the University.
A search will be organized once
additional funding from the state is secured. Rob Weaver, associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said that the college would ask the Kansas Partnership for Faculty of Distinction Program to provide further funds.
The program encourages gifts by private donors to help recruit and retain outstanding faculty.
Suprenant said she wasn't sure who they would recruit, but it would be a first-rate scientist with an excellent career in molecular biology.

New procedure helps police respond to noise complaints
The Lawrence Police Department announced a new procedure yesterday for handling noise complaints.
Under the new procedure, officers may issue a citation without contacting the complainant. This will allow officers to handle more complaints and address them much faster during the weekends, which are their busiest times.
The department receives an average of eight to 10 noise complaints each night from Thursday to Saturday, said Sgt. Dan Ward, department spokesman.
Complaints are also usually higher during holidays.

Fire at apartment complex causes $3.000 in damages
Last Halloween, for example, the police department had approximately 70 noise complaints and didn't have the resources to respond to them all, Ward said.

The Fire Department responded to the call at 5:23 a.m., after the occupant of the apartment called to report a fire. Fire fighters arrived at the scene and found the fire on a wooden balcony, not inside the apartment.
The fire was ruled accidental in nature and was believed to have been started by an "inappropriate discharge of smoking material," Bradford said.

Governors seek meeting on Canadian prescription sales
WINNIPEG, Manitoba — Gov. Kathleen Sebelius and five other state governors will try to convince Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin not to choke off cross-border sales of prescription drugs.
Sebelius and the governors of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Utah, North Dakota and Maine sent Martin a letter yesterday asking for a face—to—face meeting in Ottawa.
Martin's government has been considering restrictions that would shut down Internet drug sales to U.S. customers seeking cheaper medications.
"It is imperative that the Canadian government realize that the restriction of prescription drug supplies could mean the difference between life and death for many Americans, many of whom are residents of our states," the governors said in the letter.
Canadian Health Minister Uijal Dosanjh has repeatedly outlined his concerns that "Canada can not be the drugstore to the United States." He fears the cross-border trade could cause drug shortages in Canada and threaten the country's regulated pricing system.

Shooting victim remembered
Kansas City freshman was known for his independence, dedication and humor
BY JOSHUA BICKEL
jbickel@kansan.com
KANSA STAFT WINTER
Christopher Martell boarded a bus bound for Mexico City last year, alone, to visit his grandparents.
When he arrived at his destination, his grandparents were not there to pick him up.
So he hailed a taxi and found his way to his grandparents' house.
Independence characterized Martell, an 18-year-old freshman from Kansas City, Kan., who accidentally shot himself and died Dec. 22, 2004. A bullet hit a main artery in his leg, said his father, Miguel Martell.
His body was found the next afternoon in his car.
His father said Martell had no problem traveling by himself to a place he'd never been. In fact, he wanted to do it.
"He always wanted to do things on his own," his father said.
His father guessed that he was giving someone a ride home when the accident happened.
"He was always giving rides home to his friends and family," his father said.
"He wanted to be a clown
Martell graduated with honors last spring from the Sumner Academy for Arts and Sciences in Kansas City, Kan., and was
when he was a kid. He always liked to make you laugh."

Christopher Martell's father
studying computer engineering at the University of Kansas. After graduation, his father said Martell planned to work for a company designing video games.
"He was a very hard worker," his father said. "He would work double shifts just so he could have more money for
school."
But even though Martell took some things seriously, he wasn't afraid to bring humor to even the most serious situation.
"He wanted to be a clown when he was a kid," Martell's father said. "He always liked to make you laugh."
"He was the kind of person who wanted to help you," his father said.
But the thing people who knew Martell will remember the most was his dedication to his friends and his family, which he demonstrated by giving rides to his grandmother or cracking a joke just to make his friends feel better.

Israeli and Palestinian peace talks continue
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Israeli and Palestinian leaders met yesterday to discuss ways to stop militants from firing rockets and mortars in Gaza, heading off the possibility of a large-scale Israeli invasion to curb the surging violence.
The decision came as the top Palestinian security chief ordered a deployment of troops along the Gaza-Israel frontier to stop the attacks — the first concrete step to rein in militants since the election of Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas.
Israel broke off contacts with Abbas' government after a Jan. 13 attack on a vital Gaza-Israel crossing point killed six Israelis. But the ban came under criticism from the United States, the United Nations, Egypt and Jordan — and it lasted only a few days.
coordinate security steps."
After a meeting of his Security Cabinet yesterday, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's office issued a statement saying "a security meeting will be held at the field commander level to
Israeli officials said the meeting convened at the Erez crossing between northern Gaza and Israel. Brig. Gen. Aviv Kochavi, representing the Israelis, met Palestinian public security director Maj. Gen. Moussa Arafat. Israel Army Radio reported that Arafat presented a detailed plan to deploy hundreds of armed police in the border area to halt the rocket fire, and Kochavi was to deliver it to Israel's defense minister.
Israel's Security Cabinet was considering military action to stop the barrages of mortars and rockets aimed at Jewish settlements and Israeli towns just outside Gaza, when the Palestinian leadership called for security talks toward cooperation in ending the violence, officials said.
The sudden turnabout defused escalating tension that appeared to be leading toward an Israeli invasion, clashes with Palestinian gunmen and possibly dozens of casualties.
The appeal, coupled with the decision by the Palestinian police commander to deploy forces
along the border to stop the rocket attacks, was enough for Israel's new, more moderate government to put off a military strike and give renewed talks a chance.
Dalia Itzik, a Cabinet minister from the dovish Labor Party, said Israeli pressure led to Palestinian pledges for action. "It's good that they're going to talk," she told Army Radio. Sharon brought Labor into his coalition government to provide crucial backing for his Gaza pullout plan, and its presence is likely to moderate government policy.
However, the Security Cabinet also approved military action if talks fail. Sharon noted both options on Wednesday.
"Israel is prepared to cooperate with the Palestinians on condition that there is no terrorism," Sharon said in a meeting with a top EU official, according to a statement from his office. "If the Palestinians take the right steps, we will be able to cooperate and coordinate on certain matters regarding the disengagement plan."
because of lack of Palestinian cooperation, implying that if talks fail, Israel will take action.
But he warned that Israel is not prepared to take losses
Gaza strongman Mohammed Dahlan, who is close to Abbas, said restoring calm depends on Israel, not the Palestinians. "We hope that the peace process will have a chance and we hope that Israel will initiate positive initiatives by stopping the aggression and the killing," he told reporters after a meeting of leaders from Abbas' Fatah Party.
Abbas, meanwhile, was edging toward a truce agreement with militant groups, according to a participant in the talks, Fatah representative Ziad Abu Amr. "The parties were never closer to an agreement than they are now," he said.
After meeting with Abbas, however, Islamic Jihad official Mohammed Hindi was noncommittal. "We discussed all the items linked to the Palestinian political arena including the subject of calming down the situation," he said. "We agreed to continue our discussions and we will meet again very soon."
International students affected by tsunami
BY ESTUARDO GARCIA
egarcia@kansan.com
KANSAN STAT WRITE
It was about 1:30 the morning of Dec.26,2004,when Samadhi Vitharana received a phone call. There had been an earthquake near her home country of Sri Lanka.
The tsunami hit the coastal cities along the Indian Ocean, claiming more than 200,000 lives and leaving over one million homeless. As the spring semester of the University of Kansas begins, these students will have to focus on classes as their home countries focus on rebuilding.
Vitharana, a pharmaceutical chemistry postdoctoral researcher, worried about her mother and father, whose house was located five minutes away from the coast. She immediately got on the phone, but was not able to reach her parents. She tried calling several different numbers, but was unsuccessful.
Of the total international student population at the University, 363 students come from countries that were ravaged by last month's tsunami. Vitharana is one of the eight international students who come from Sri Lanka. Two hundred fifty-six students are from India, 54 from Malaysia, 28 from Indonesia and 17 from Thailand, according to International Student and Scholar Services.
"I was very happy to hear their voices because I didn't know what was happening." Vitharana said. "The details about the individual countries were not exposed at that time."
Ten hours later, Vitharana's parents were able to contact her and tell her they were OK and staying at a friend's house farther inland.
Vitharana and other Sri Lankan students have already
raised money for victims of the tsunami disaster in Sri Lanka. With the help of the American Red Cross, they have set up tables at Checkers Foods, 2500 Louisiana, and have gone door-to-door at Stouffer Place raising money. The group also has plans on setting up a table at Wal-Mart, 3300 Iowa. They have raised nearly $1,000.
Nuttee Sakkullaphat, a graduate engineering student from Bangkok, was enjoying a ski trip in New Hampshire when the tsunami hit Thailand. He too received a phone call informing him about the tsunami.
"The first thing I asked was if there was any warning," Sakkullaphat said. "Even if there was a warning, how do you evacuate people from an island like Phuket?"
Like many others, both Vitharana and Sakkullaphat had to wait for hours before they were able to contact their loved ones back home. Fortunately, Sakkullaphat's parents also live in Bangkok, in the northern part of Thailand, and were not directly affected by the tsunami.
When news about the tsunami reached the the university administration, it immediately made plans to contact international students and students abroad. Monday morning, Joe Potts, director of ISSS, sent out an e-mail to all the students on behalf of Chancellor Robert Hemenway.
He said that they have not had much response from their students. So far, the students who have family in those areas have not reported any loss of life or a lot of property destruction. He said it is still too early to tell what, if any, impact the tsunami had on enrollment of students from these areas.

New term, same old issues; students must be informed
Today marks the inauguration of George W. Bush's second term as the 43rd president of the United States. In the wake of last month's tsunami, much of the attention on Bush's inaugural ball has focused on the money donated for the festivities in lieu of aid for tsunami victims. While this is an understandably important issue, The University Daily Kansan is tired of this being the only focus during this tumultuous time.
The next four years will be filled with historic events, both on domestic and international levels. As Americans, it is imperative to keep up on politics. Simply because the election is over, the importance it carried is not. Whether you were elated or disgusted, the election outcome is irrelevant. Bush promised to be a unifier in his second term, and it remains to be seen that holds true. Either way, the country can look forward to addressing many issues during Bush's second term.
The White House has announced that "Celebrating Freedom, Honoring Service" has been selected for today's theme. Presidential Inaugural Committee Chairman Jeanne Johnson Phillips said, "We are a nation at war, and it is fitting that the inaugural events reflect not only the great sacrifices made by our troops everyday to protect our freedom, but also the cherished ideals that make our nation so unique." This theme ties into one of the foremost issues in America's immediate future — our actions and presence in Iraq and the Middle East.
Iraq will be either a great victory for this country or a catastrophe on the level of Vietnam. Whether or not Americans agree with Bush's decision to go into Iraq is moot, and we need to stop debating this dead issue. John Kerry understood this and said so during the campaign. Americans need to look at how to accomplish our goals and get out of Iraq. The solutions to this problem range from pulling out immediately to sustaining a continued presence in the country for years to come.
An issue closely related to America's presence in Iraq is oil and energy. The funding of alternative fuels, drilling for oil in wildlife preserves and foreign dependence on oil are all important issues that will be addressed.
Focus on international issues has been strong lately, but America will be faced with possible changes domestically, as well, in the next four years.
Bush pledged to pass a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage during the first few months of his second term. Several states passed similar amendments to their individual constitutions last November. Despite the landslide victories in all of these states, this is an issue of heated discussion.
Federal taxes are another hot-button issue for Americans. This administration will impose new taxes and tax cuts that are questionable in the minds of some Americans while pleasing others.
So what does this all mean? Why should any of us care?
Education funding hits close to home for all of us. The actions of Bush and others in Washington, along with legislators in Topeka, will have a direct effect on the lives of each and every member of the University's community.
These are questions many of us are no doubt asking ourselves.
As members of an academic community, it is our duty to inform ourselves. Our lives and our children's will be affected. In a democracy, it is our duty to keep up with politics, and express our approval or lack thereof.
The Kansan does not mean to preach. Many of us are as guilty as the rest of the community when it comes to allowing the importance of politics to slip in non-election years. Keep yourself educated this time. Read and watch several media outlets. Avoid sources that are notorious for presenting biased views. Most importantly, form your own opinions and make them known.
The Kansan will be doing its best to keep you informed this semester. Read, learn and be a part of the process.

Hey Bill, did you hear the Pres is spending $40 mill on his inauguration? How self-glorifying. Do you know how many tsunami victims we could save with that money!? Ah ha-ha! God I'm a genius.
Actually George, all the money came from private donors. But I'm guessing the money you spend on personal grooming and award shows could save more lives. Too bad Holly wood loves itself too much.
Paige Higgins/KANSAN
Speak truth on inauguration
At 11 a.m. today, George W. Bush will place his hand on a Bible and swear to uphold the Constitution of the United States for another four years as our 43rd president. A parade of 14 floats and 45 marching bands will follow at 1:30 p.m. Tonight's Commander-in-Chief Ball begins at 7:30.
CORPORATOCRACY
As the Bushies celebrate, cashing in millions more than the President initially offered to victims of last month's tsunami disaster, other Americans will come together for a different purpose.
GOLF SUITE CENTER
During the parade along Pennsylvania Avenue, protesters aim to blend into the crowd and turn their backs on the president. The A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition has planned a massive march at the Capitol, hoping for a turnout comparable to the one four years ago when tens of thousands of Americans stopped the procession of Bush's limousine.
So what's with all the hoopla? Bush did win the popular vote. Shouldn't we just kick back and let him celebrate his victory this time?
The answer is a resounding. "No!"
The president responded on Feb. 18: "You know, the size of protests is like deciding, well, I'm going to decide policy based upon a focus group."
On the weekend of Feb. 15, 2003, 1,600 people in Lawrence joined 15 million protesters from around the globe in demonstrating against the invasion of Iraq. It was the largest antiwar demonstration in human history.
STEPHEN SHUPE
sshupe@kansan.com
So, first of all, we should protest out of spite.
And we should protest Bush's
"There have been some cases when the heat got on, they left the battlefield," he said. "That's unacceptable."
This, from a man who supported the Vietnam War but actively avoided fighting in it.
We should protest the tyranny of multinational corporations and the American President who represents them, not us. As finance chair of the Presidential Inauguration Committee, Nancy Kinder has been in charge of raising $45 million for the week's festivities, according to a Dec. 12, 2004, online article in the Houston Chronicle. Her husband, Richard Kinder, is the former president of Enron, the Houston-based oil company that was Bush's top corporate contributor.
Enron is known stateside for gouging Californians with outrageous energy bills. In India, the company is known for a "sweetheart deal" that may represent the most far-reaching case of corporate fraud in the country's history.
In an essay written by the preeminent New Delhi activist Arundhati Roy,
"The Reincarnation of Rumpelstiltskin," she recounts how Enron bribed members of the Maharashtra state government. A contract was signed, with a payout to Enron almost double what Indian law allows in power projects. After months of paying unaffordable bills, the government ruled that it would be cheaper to pay mandatory fixed charges in the contract than to actually buy any of the company's power. In January 2001, Enron announced that it would auction off government properties listed as collateral in the contract if Maharashtra failed to pay all of the bills.
Today, the equivalent of 60 percent of India's rural development budget is mortgaged to Enron. Meanwhile, Human Rights Watch accused the Maharashtra government and the company — the President's sugar daddy — of complicity in human rights abuses in India.
We should protest the privatization of Social Security, the whoring out of national health to HMOs, the depletion of our planet's natural resources and the erosion of civil liberties.
But most of all, we should protest because there is no one else left not the mainstream media,not the weak and centrist opposition party,not the regulatory commissions filled with corporate lobbyists—to hold the powerful accountable.

Bush's term potentially promising
There is no reason to absolutely fear the next four years of your life.
As a now fully legitimate president of the most powerful nation in the world, George W. Bush will have another opportunity to strengthen America at home and its reputation abroad. That is an opportunity which he deserves.
This country has a tradition of accepting the will of the people, which is the basis of a democracy. After an intense and fiery election, the president's return is the will of the people.
HERE'S TO YOU
RAY WITTLINGER
opinion@kansan.com
HERE'S TO YOU
When President Bush is sworn in for his second term today, he will do so with a full hand of Republicans behind him. Despite his unprecedented power, there must be a message of optimism that spreads to members of both parties and in every blue or red state there is.
A Democrat myself, I understand the disappointment of complete Republican control of Congress and the White House. Somewhere along the way, the Democratic Party many believed could turn this country around has gone from hope to gloom.
In many ways, this new term can still find room for the values of those on the left. Former President Bill Clinton said he was the only person in America who liked both John Kerry and Bush; he just knew they saw the world differently. While you think of what arguments are to come, remember what successes could be on the way.
The battle for abortion rights and appointing justices is inevitable in this country. Bush's justices should not be selected for their desire to overturn abortion rights, but should rather be someone selected on their ability to uphold the law regardless of political pressure or their own political feelings.
Also there is the prospect of troops returning home and Iraq governing itself again. Americans want to see the troops return soon, but not before the success of a secure Iraqi election.
America has a tradition of achieving success by reaching across the aisle. This custom dates back to the framers of the Constitution. Presidents and legislators since have understood the divide in ideas for making America better and were willing to close it. Bush
Not every great idea was swept out the door with Kerry's loss nor was each solidified with the president's victory. The opportunity that lies in front of Bush now is the prospect of compromise.
shouldn't be thought of any differently.
shouldn't be thought of any differently. Bush may be the most politically divisive figure in modern American history. But since his first term, Bush has grown as a president. He's learned to become a diplomat instead of a cowboy. He recently apologized for remarks like "dead or alive" and "bring 'em on." Bush now realizes the Oval Office is a far cry from old Western films.
Historically, presidents have faced enormous challenges in second terms. Removing the campaign for re-election often suppresses the idea of accountability for the chief executive. It is simply not in America's best interests to see this president fail in his final term. Regardless of political affiliation or personal resentment, understand that Bush will represent the United States to an apprehensive international community. For that, he needs the support of both parties.
Think of this as the 44th presidency of the United States. While technically it is not of course, there still lies the promise of new leadership. Unknowns are plentiful as we move into these next four years with the second inauguration of President Bush. Fight and question what you disagree with. That is the greatest thing about our democracy. But at the same time attempt to be optimistic now as a nation, not just a party.

Ice storm remnants pose threat
Current warm-up poses threat to Kansas residents
BY JASON SAAD
jshaad@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The winter ice storm from early January caused extensive damage throughout the state and limited damage in Lawrence. As weather warms up this week, ice will melt and refreeze causing dangerous road conditions. Facilities Operations crews are continuing to clean up fallen tree limbs and uprooted trees.
Damage on campus was minimal, said Vince Avila, associate director of Student Housing.
One heating line froze in Ellsworth Hall and some food spoiled while refrigerators were out of power during the storm.
Power outages lasted for a few hours and no major damage to university housing facilities occurred. Avila said.
According to a report from Kansas Emergency Management, the storm caused
an estimated $40 million in damages statewide. Governor Kathleen Beelius proclaimed 56 counties, including Douglas County, to be in a state of disaster emergency.
Mike Akulow, meteorologist for the National Weather Service forecast office in Topeka, said Lawrence was not as badly damaged as other areas.
"We got more sleet than the freezing rain around Wichita," Akulow said. "Sleet doesn't stick as much, so it wasn't as bad here."
Temperatures will rise this week, causing frozen tree limbs and ice to thaw, Akulow said. Ice that melts during the day could refreeze at night, resulting in dangerous driving conditions, Akulow said. Stressed tree limbs could also expand and break as temperatures rise, he said.
Westar Energy, the state's largest energy provider, reported that 211,000 customers lost power because of the ice storm, with 121,000 customers out of power in Wichita alone. More than 11,000 customers in Lawrence lost power.
The company enlisted repair crews from various states to fix
Saturday is the last day residents can take tree limbs and branches to Lawrence's brush drop-off site.
LIMB DROP-OFF
Where: 1420 E. 11th St.
Hours: 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday
Cost: Free Saturday, $3 to $4 a truckload after that
**How:** Bundles should not exceed 5 feet in length, 18 inches in diameter or 65 pounds per bundle.
Tree limbs and brush from a citizen's private property may be taken to the location free of charge. (In April, it costs $3-4 a truckload). The limbs will be chipped and used as mulch throughout the city. Private tree materials not taken to the drop-off site need to be properly bundled for city refuse collection during its weekly scheduled pick up. Materials need to be bundled and placed with trash for removal. It will be taken to the landfill.

14th Street entrance closed until March

KANAN STAFF WRITE
The 14th Stb construction, which was started last June, is part of a two-phase project to work on the steam tunnels underneath and run fiber optic cables to the new scholarship hall.
Students no longer have to walk around construction on Jayhawk Boulevard, but the 14th Street entrance will remain closed until the end of March.
Altmar Construction will resume digging the first week of February when it will finish the second and final phase of the steam tunnel project.
The construction workers will place data communication pipes along 14th Street. Networking and Telecommunication Systems will use the pipes to run fiber optic cables to Spooner Hall, the Juanita Strait House and the new Rieger Scholarship Hall on Ohio Street.
Construction crews completed the steam tunnel renovation
more than a month before its original February completion date, but 14th Street will not reopen.
Construction workers tore out curbs and sidewalks along the street, which would have made it difficult to re-open said Doug
Riat, facilities and operations director.
"I don't see any value in reopening 14th Street," Riat said. "Rather than re-open it for a month and close it again, the decision has been made to keep it closed."
Lawson said there would be a few days when scholarship hall residents would not be allowed to park their cars in the alley between Louisiana and Ohio Streets.
Construction of the steam tunnel between Lippincott, Dyche and Spooner Halls, began last May after the commencement ceremony.
The $1.5 million project was necessary because the tunnel's old age inhibited the value of its service and made it unsafe.
The construction paid off said Ryan McCarty, Bay City, Mich., graduate student. It looks nice now that it is completed, he said. He will not miss the construction that spilled onto Jayhawk Boulevard.
"I'm just glad I don't have to walk in the road," McCarty said.

Violence escalates in Iraq as election approaches
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAGHDAD. Iraq
BAGHDAD, Iraq Insurgents unleashed a wave of five car bombings across the capital yesterday, killing about a dozen people, despite stepped-up U.S. and Iraqi measures to protect this month's elections. North of Baghdad, insurgents killed a British security officer.
Iraiq police also said insurgents kidnapped a Japanese engineer, but today officials in Tokyo cast doubt on the report, saying they had no information on the incident.
Gunmen also fired on the Baghdad office of a major Kurdish party and two senior officials escaped assassination in separate attacks in the north.
The U.S. military put the death toll from the day's Baghdad bombings at 26, saying the number was based on initial reports at the scene. Iraqi officials gave a lower toll
12 people killed in the bombings and one at the Kurdish office.
Sunni Muslim insurgents have threatened to disrupt the elections, and the five car
bombings — four within a span of 90 minutes — underscored the grave threat facing Iraqis at this watershed in their history. U.S. and Iraqi forces have stepped up raids and arrests in Baghdad, Mosul and other troublespots as the elections approach.
Nevertheless, the attacks had little effect on preparations for the Jan. 30 balloting, in which Iraqi will choose a 275-member National Assembly and regional legislatures. At Baghdad airport, Iraqi authorities yesterday received the largest shipment of
Elections official Farid Avar said 90,000 ballot boxes had already been flown to Iraq along with millions of ballots printed mostly in Canada and Australia.
ballot boxes and other elections equipment to date.
Throughout the morning yesterday, the routine clatter of big city traffic was punctuated by the crisp sound of distant explosions. U.S.military helicopters rattled low overhead, roaming the bright blue sky for any sign of trouble.
Al Qaeda's branch in Iraq claimed responsibility for the
first of the day's blasts, which occurred about 7 a.m. at the Australian Embassy in the capital. A truck packed with explosives blew up outside the concrete barriers in front of the embassy, killing two people and wounding several, including two Australian soldiers.
"A lion of monotheism and faith ... carried out a martyrdom operation nearby the Australian Embassy," the group Al Qaeda in Iraq said in an Internet statement. The group is led by Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, who has allied himself with Osama bin Laden's terror network.
Lt. Col, Steven Boylan, director of the U.S. military press center, said U.S. officials could not explain the discrepancy between the American and Iraqi figures "but we are holding to our numbers."
A half-hour after the embassy blast, another car bomb exploded at a police station next to a hospital in eastern Baghdad. The U.S. military said 18 were killed there, but the Iraqi Interior Ministry put the death toll at six, including a police woman.
HALL CENTER: New home adds needed space
CONTINUED FROM 1A
$260,000 came from private donations, Bailey said. The Center was moved into the new structure by Ian. 10.
Victor Bailey, director of the Hall Center, said lack of space was the main reason to construct the new building, located southwest of Watson Library. "It's quite frustrating creating a seminar and finding a location," Bailey said. "If you can just hold more and tell people it's in the Hall Center would be nice."
To solve this problem, contractors built a 25-person seminar room, where speakers can give lectures, in addition to a 120-seat conference hall along the Powerhouse's original west wall.
The new building, at 14,700
square feet, is double the size of the old Hall Center.
Built in the 1880s, the Powerhouse was the primary source for heating and electricity for the University, according to kuhistory.com.
On March 22, 1898, lightning struck the building and burned it to the ground. Only the stone arcade and its smokestack survived the fire. Before the new Hall Center took over the site, the building was used by Facilities Operations.
The Hall Center supports interdisciplinary research in the humanities, arts and social sciences among faculty members and graduate students at the University of Kansas, according to the center's mission statement. The center will not be used for classroom
teaching.
The center includes additional space in the the basement, and there is a vacant room on the second floor. Bailey said that room could turn into another conference room or three more offices.
The room would have to remain vacant, however because the department ran out of funding, Bailey said.
Amy Potter, a Hall Center graduate student assistant, said the larger building would be a great place to hold lectures.
"I think it allows for more opportunity for the center," said Potter, Overland Park graduate student in geography. "It's a larger space, it can allow for more people."
Edited by John Scheirman
CONTINUED FROM 1A
He said he heard of protests such as "Not One Damn Dime Day," but had never seen them have any economic effect.
PROTEST: Economic boycott for symbolic effect
"You would still be paying for heat, DSL and water," Haider-Markel said. "I guess that is the great trap of our economy. You can't live for free in civilization."
But Hanson said a total lack of spending or forcing a drag in the economy was not the focus of protest.
"I don't think it will have any lasting impact on the economy, but that is not the point," he said. "It's a symbolic effect. It should show the great number of people that are still dissatisfied with Bush."
Many students may join in the
protest without even knowing it.
Brandon Gay, December graduate, said he didn't plan on participating in the protest, but would not spend money anyway.
"I'm broke," said Gay, former member of the KU Young Democrats. "So I'll probably partake involuntarily."
Instead of protesting, Elizabeth Moss, vice president of the KU College Republicans, said she and other members would spend today watching the inauguration with the Douglas County Republics.
Moss said she favored people expressing their opinions but would not participate in the boycott.
"I would be very hesitant of any kind of protesting that limited free trade," Moss said. "It's something that is so against my
mindset that I don't think I would ever do that."
Although the boycott is a quieter form of protest, Hanson said he would still be out on the streets organizing group protests.
Hanson said the Lawrence Coalition for Peace and Justice would partake in a mock inaugural of its own.
The coalition will hold its "I Have A Dream" inauguration at 5:30 p.m. today on the steps of the Douglas County Courthouse.
The event will involve an inaugural speech addressing what action the coalition would like to see taken during the next four years.

McCray ignores jeering
BY KELLI ROBINETT
krobinett@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWRIVER
Not too many people outside the state of Nebraska knew the name Joe McCray before the Kansas men's basketball team escaped with a two-point home victory against Nebraska last night.
After the referees issued the double technical, the fans in Allen Fieldhouse got involved and jeered McCray for the rest of the contest. The student sections mercilessly booed him every time he touched the ball.
But after he scored a game-high 19 points and got involved in a second half skirmish with senior Kansas guard Mike Lee, it's a safe bet Kansas fans will be mentioning him in the same breath as recently graduated Colorado center David Harrison, whose every action sent Jayhawk fans into a roar of boos.
"I didn't even think to think about that," Lee said with a grin after being asked if the crowd treated McCray the same way they did Harrison. "The crowd always has our back so I knew whether I was wrong or right in that situation they were on my side."
"We got tangled up on the floor. I felt like he kicked me." Lee said. "Maybe he did, maybe he didn't. I let my emotions get the best of me and said some things I shouldn't have said."
Lee and McCray collided with each other at the 5:31 mark of the second half, after both players dove for a loose ball. Both players rose from the confrontation heated, and after the two were separated they each received technical fouls.
During free throws the crowd went as far as to chant "You suck" at the Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., native.
"I just blocked that out," McCray said. "Everywhere you go, fans are going to say what they're going to say. I just kept playing hard. I am a freshman, but I just play hard and give everything that I have."
Kansas survives despite mistakes
"The ref. can make the right call and people say, 'You can't call that. You're blind,'" Lee said. "That's how your home crowd should be."

The fans in Allen Fieldhouse held their breaths. J.R. Giddens hung suspended in the air. Nebraska guard Corey Simms released a wide-open three-pointer that would have pulled off one of the biggest upsets of the year.
Whew! He missed.
That final play summarized Kansas' 59-57 victory against Nebraska pretty accurately. The Javahawks just got lucky.
"If that shot falls, we lose," senior guard Mike Lee said. "So yeah, it was luck."
With 20 seconds left in the game and the Huskers down by only two, Nebraska coach Barry Collier called a timeout to draw up a play.
"They tried to back-door Keith at the high post." Kansas coach Bill Self said. "When it got down to eight seconds they just tried to go get a shot."
That was when the Jayhawks made a defensive mistake that could have cost them the game.
The ball ended up in the hands of Simms, who was guarded by senior guard Keith Langford. Sophomore guard J.R. Giddens came over to help after Simms beat Langford on the ball fake.
According to Self, a big no-no.
"We ran to double team a guarded guy and left the guy wide open," Self said. "You have to be sound at the end of the game and stick to principles, and we didn't do that."
Kansas didn't do a lot of things. For one, they didn't make free throws. They also didn't rebound.
The Jayhawks shot just 54 percent from the free throw line and were outrebounded 43-36.
Self said if his team would have made free throws, the game wouldn't have come down to the final seconds.
"You make your free throws and you win the game comfortably," Self said. "But that is just part of being ready to play, and tonight we didn't deserve to make free throws because we weren't ready to play."
It started as early as the pregame warm-ups,when Self said he noticed that his team didn't look particularly inspired.
"I could tell in shootaround that we didn't have that much of a bounce in our step," he said.
Unfortunately for the Jayhawks, it wasn't just in the shootaround. The first 20 minutes of last night's game may have been the worst half of basketball the Jayhawkes have played all year. It took

Kansas sports are changing.
Nonrevenue sports are thriving as well. The soccer team won its first Big 12 Championship and is primed to threaten for future national titles. The volleyball and soccer teams, guided by well-respected coaches, are on the verge of becoming regular visitors to the postseason.
Changing the way you look at sports
As with any semester-long undertaking, plans will change as the reporters and editors of this section learn what works and what doesn't.
A new women's basketball coach, just the first in more than 35 years, has experienced mixed success with a tough schedule.
As editors, we hope that you will help steepen our staff's learning curve with e-mail feedback and comments on the Web site.
The bowling team has established itself as one of the top squads in the country, and we have seen former track star Charlie Gruber represent the United States and the University of Kansas in the Olympic Games.
Kansan.com will become a destination for Jayhawk fans with breaking news, up-to-the-minute game coverage and, in time, multimedia content which will bring readers closer to the games.
To adapt to the changing face of Jayhawk athletics, The University Daily Kansan is changing the way it covers sports. This semester, one of the largest, most talented sports staffs in the newspaper's 100 years of production will add coverage of nonrevenue sports, such as track and field and golf, and out-of-season teams, such as soccer and volleyball.
Whatever changes we make for the spring semester, our goal is to provide readers with news relevant to fans and peers of the athletes that fans admire.
Club sports, such as bowling and ice hockey, will see increased attention, as well. The goal is to fill the pages of the Kansan with news you can't find anywhere else.
Jayhawk fans have had much to be proud of in the last year, but they are hoping for an even better conclusion. Sixteen of our peers have a chance to sing "One Shining Moment" in the shadow of the St. Louis arch on April 4, while hoisting Kansas' first NCAA Championship trophy in more than a decade.
Look at our section as fans and as peers of KU student athletes.
Highlighting the changes in sports will be the new kansan.com as well as more fact-based, timely sports commentary from three regular columnists, all of whom have spent time as reporters.
That men's basketball team has already done amazing things, and the Kansan will follow the squad until the end of its season, whether it's in St. Louis or, with deep reporting, fact-based opinion pieces and a revamped Web site so readers can follow the team when they're away from campus.

KUjuniorwinschampionship, securesTeamUSAposition
Rhino Page, Lawrence junior, won the USA Bowling National Amateur Championship in Dallas during Jan. 9-14, by beating a field of 135.
Page finished with a 12,812-pin total over 56 games: 24 qualifying games and 32 match games.
Page never fell out of the top three through the entire tournament, reaching the number one spot on the fifth day of competition. He held onto the top spot the following two days. On the last day Page went 6-2 in match games, improving his record to 21-11, and increased his 88-pin lead on the second place bowler to a 227-pin advantage.
The title means Page will return to the Team USA bowling team in 2005. He received a spot on the team after finishing third at last year's Amateur Championship. Page was a member of the Junior Team USA in 2001 and 2002.
"It's great to be on the team again and that's what's most important," Page said. "Winning it is secondary, although it's exciting to be able to compete at the World Cup."
Fellow Jayhawk bowler Kelly Zapf, Rochester, N.Y., senior, also competed at the Amateur Championship. Zapf made the cut of 24, but finished the tournament in 21st, finishing the match games with an 8-16 record.

The Kansas women's rowing team didn't let the frozen water halt its winter training. All it took was a two-week trip down south to a warmer climate.
The team returned Tuesday evening from winter training in Austin, Texas. Coach Rob Catloth said the team makes the trip yearly to build up fitness and improve technique. Until the winter training, the team could only train indoors. It had not been on water since November.
"Getting back on the water helps the team remember why they're training," Catloth said.
Everyday training consisted of getting up at 8:15 a.m. and taking a three - to four-mile run. The team then hit the water and rowed until about noon. The team was back on the water from 3 p.m. until about 6 p.m.

Botched free-throw attempts end Wake Forest shot record
Wake Forest's NCAA free-throw record ended at a most inopportune time.
After getting fouled with four seconds left, Taron Downey had the Demon Deacons' first missed free throw in 51 attempts and No. 3 Wake Forest went on to lose to Florida State 91-83 in overtime Tuesday night.
Todd Galloway scored nine straight points in overtime to help Florida State snap Wake Forest's 10-game streak.
"It felt good when it left my hand," said Downey. "But you know, it happens like that sometimes."
Wake Forest made 32 straight Saturday in a 95-82 victory over North Carolina and its first 18 on Tuesday night before Downey's miss. Wake Forest's 50 straight free throws eclipsed the mark of 49 set in 1991 by Indiana State.

Bowling teams hit the lanes with new talent
Newest players show promise leading into Blue and Gold Classic
By JASON ELMQUIST
jelmquist@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
The Kansas men's and women's bowling teams look to two national stars to guide them through the season's second half. The Kansas bowling team has strung together several top 10 finishes in the season's first months and also look for guidance through April's Intercollegiate Bowling Championship tournament.
The men's team looked to defend its 2004 IBC title when it started its season in October.
The team had lost four members from last year's championship team to graduation. The team did not miss a beat as it started off the season with two victories at the Midwest
Collegiate Championship and the Mid-States Tournament. The team then lost top bowler, Rhino Page, for the rest of the fall semester when he headed off to play with the Team USA bowling team.
Losing Page did not hinder the team at first, as it reeled off top-five finishes in its next three tournaments. The absence of the Lawrence junior has meant more opportunities for others, coach Mark Fine said.
The team was ranked third by collegebowling.com heading into winter break. After the Colgate Invitational and the Keystone Quaker Classic, the team broke its streak of top-five finishes and it did not even finish in the top 10. At the Colgate they finished 14th overall and were 11th overall at the
Page said he wanted his return to add fire to the team.
Keystone.
"I'm going to make sure these guys are ready to play, without a doubt," he said.
While the men are working on defending their national title, the women's team is looking to improve on last year's fifth-place finish at the IBC.
So far the women have seen the same sort of success that the men have, as they have finished in the top 10 in all seven tournaments. They have finished second in two tournaments, the Midwest Collegiate Championship and the Jayhawk Classic, while their worst showing was an eighth-place finish at the National Team Match Games.
Kelly Zapf, Rochester, N.Y.
senior, was part of the past two women's teams that finished in the top five at the IBC. In her senior campaign, she has finished with three top-five finishes and five top 10s. Only once this season has Zapf not finished in the top 20 at a tournament.
Besides Zapf, the women's team has three other bowlers who returned from last year's team.
The other two slots have been filled by freshmen, who have impressed Zapf and Fine.
"All of our freshman have really stepped up to the plate," Fine said. Zapf said that she expected more from this team because she wanted to leave on top.
"We have a lot more talent than we've had in years past," said Zapf.

Baseball team needs big hitters to step up to the plate

KANSAN SPORTSWITHER
The heart of the Kansas baseball team's lineup is gone, along with most of last season's run production. The team will look to three upperclassmen to fill the void left by Ryan Baty, Matt Tribble and Travis Metcalf — last season's Jayhawk version of Mantle, Gehrig and DiMaggio.
Last May, Baty and Tribble finished their Kansas baseball careers as seniors. Metcalf cut his career a year short when the Texas Rangers drafted him in June.
"Those are three of the best players I've coached in my career," coach Ritch Price said.
Without a doubt, the absence of the "big three," as Price refers to them, will shake up the lineup. Last season, Baty and Metcalf accounted for 50 of the team's home runs. Metcalf broke the program record when he finished
the season with 18. Baty set his own record by holding down a 21-game hit streak, the longest ever in Kansas baseball history.
Tribble committed only two errors in 226 chances in his career, and held the previous long hit streak of 20 games.
Together these guys led the team into ranking first in the Big 12 conference for batting average, hitting .316 as a team and posting their second consecutive 30-victory season. The trouble now is continuing the trend of offensive improvement without the "big three." Price said the number one task was to find suitable replacements to fill the run-producing bulk of the lineup.
All three were named to the 2005 Preseason All-Big 12 second team on January 13.
The next round of dominating hitters could be junior Matt Baty, junior Ritchie Price and senior Sean Richardson.
last year with 69 RBI while hitting a solid .332. He knocked 12 home runs and stole eight bases last season. His performance earned him the team's most valuable player honor.
Price raked in 47 RBI along with a 395 batting average.
Baty will lead off again this
Price and Baty have gained serious experience, now starting for their third year. During their freshman season they were two of only seven freshman who started in the Big 12. Coach Price will utilize their talents as he tinkers with the lineup in the pre-season.
"They are three of the best hitters in our conference." Coach Price said of this year's hitting trio. "Those three are looking forward to this challenge."
Matt Baty secured the leadoff spot in 2004 by hitting a consistent .344 and stealing 26 bases. Baty also led the Big 12 in runs scored with 62.
season, as the ability to reach base and quickness between the bases becomes increasingly important without the home run support like last season.
Richardson, who hit better than .400, will move from the two hole to the three.
Also expected to erupt at the plate is right fielder A. J. Van Slyke. Price said the junior was ready for a breakout season.
Andy Scholl will take over in the clean up spot. Coach Price acknowledged his progress last season during his first year at Kansas after transferring from Lamar Community College.
"We will do a better job of hitting with runners in scoring position." Price said.
More steals and hit-and-runs will weigh heavily into the new mix as well, he said. Whatever the goal, new leaders must emerge for the jayhawks to have success.

Jayhawks emerge from break battle-tested
BY MIRANDA LENNING
mlenning@kansan.com
mlenningSWATERSTWER
The No. 2 Kansas Jayhawks are sitting pretty at 14-0 after last night's victory against the Nebraska Cornhuskers. They may be one of only four undefeated teams in college basketball. They may have survived their first road stretch without a loss
But while school was out for winter break, their season took a few unexpected twists.
The most serious was the injury to All-American candidate Wayne Simien. The senior forward suffered ligament damage to his left thumb in Kansas' 64-60 victory against South Carolina on Dec. 18 and underwent surgery on Dec. 20.
Simien missed games against Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Georgia Tech, Texas A&M and Kentucky.
Simien's injury led to another twist, but this one was or the better.
Enter C.J. Giles, Alex Galindo, Sasha Kaun and Darnell Jackson.
Kansas' four freshman big guys, who had struggled in the Jayhawks' first seven games, stepped up to help Kansas win four straight in Simien's absence.
"I thought if we did what we were supposed to do, like win at home, we'd be OK," Coach Bill Self said. "But when we lost Wayne, I said, 'Let's just keep it together.'"
Kansas proved it was a legitimate National Championship contender in pressure situations, which included games against No. 9 Georgia Tech and No. 8 Kentucky without its best player.
The Jayhawks did more than keep it together. They improved their team chemistry, displayed senior leadership and received major contributions from their freshmen.

Senior guard Keith Langford showed that he was out of his early season slump for good. He scored 21 points and pulled down seven rebounds.
Galindo rose to the challenge scoring 14 points in 17 minutes of play and pulling down seven rebounds. Freshman guard Russell Robinson contributed 12 points to the Jayhawks' victory.
Aaron Miles dished out six assists, becoming the Big 12 Conference's all-time assist leader.

Rylan Howe/KANSAN
On a day most known for watching BCS Bowl games, the Kansas Jayhawks were the lead story on SportsCenter.
Kansas avenged last year's Elite Eight loss to Georgia Tech in a game that mirrored last year's contest for most of the afternoon.
The Jayhawks trailed by as many as 16 in the first half, but they were able to pull within seven at the half.
But the Jayhawks came out firing in the second half. They pulled within a possession several times in the second half, but they weren't able to tie the game until Langford hit a three-point shot that tied the game at 61 with just more than a minute left to play.

Georgia Tech guard Will Bynum missed the front end of a one-and-one that would have given the Yellow Jackets the lead. Regulation expired with the game still tied at 61.
Keith Langford, senior guard, went airborne past Damion Staple, Iowa State senior forward, Wednesday at midfield. Coliseum, Langford led the Jayhawks with 18 points during the 71-66 victory against the Cyclones.
The lead changed three times during the overtime, but Langford hit a jumper, giving Kansas a one-point lead with just under a minute left in the extra period.
After Georgia Tech guard Isma'il Muhammad hit one of two free throws to tie the game at 68. Langford once again hit the game-deciding shot.
"I told Aaron to give me the ball and everyone else to get out of the way," Langford said of the game-winning shot.
With three seconds left in the game, Langford nailed a pull-up jumper from the free throw line to give the Jayhawks the 70-68 win.
Miles dished out his 808th assist, giving him the Kansas record.

Kansas looked to legitimize its undefeated record by winning on the road on Jan. 9, but what a place to open the road season.
More than 24,000 fans crammed into Rupp Arena in Lexington, Ky., to root against the layhawks.
Kansas trailed at halftime 25-21, but it came out of the locker room energized and took the lead with about 15 minutes left in the game.
In what is becoming typical Kansas fashion, the game came down to the wire. With Kansas clinging to a slim lead, senior guard Mike Lee nailed a baseline three-point shot that put the lavhawks up 61-56.
A Kentucky three-point shot on the ensuing possession made things interesting, but the Jayhawks won their first road game, 65-59.
The Jayhawks left Lexington battered and bruised. Langford suffered a severe concussion while diving for a loose ball late in the second half of the game and missed the deciding minutes of action. Junior forward Christian Moody sprained his ankle and did not return to the game. Robinson took a shot to the eye and suffered from a scratched cornea.
Kansas 71, Iowa State 66
Kansas came into its second straight road game pretty beat up. It was questionable whether Langford would play because of his concussion, and Christian Moody was not expected to play.
Kansas fans had nothing to fear. Several weeks earlier than expected, senior forward Wayne Simien returned to the lineup and played 37 minutes. He had to play with a bulky splint on his left hand, but that didn't seem to bother him too much.
He scored 13 points and pulled down nine rebounds leading the Jayhawks to their second straight road win.
After the game Self chuckled at the status of his team's health.
"We are the walking wounded," he said. "We just have to keep on trucking."
Kansas 76, Colorado 61
In just his second game back, Wayne Simien put up a whipping 23 points and tied his career high in rebounds with 17.
But the only problem for the Jayhawks was that Simien seemed to be the only one rebounding.
Colorado boasted a 13-4
advantage on the offensive boards at halftime, causing Self to go ballistic on his team in the locker room.
"That is what kept them in the game," Self said of the rebounding situation.
The Buffaloes certainly got themselves in the game in the second half after trailing for all of the first. They pulled within one point with about 11 minutes left in the game.
all of his 11 second-half points in a five-minute stretch that gave the Jayhawks a 62-56 advantage. Kansas won the game 76-61.
But the Kansas seniors showed some toughness, scoring all of the Jayhawks' next 18 points. Langford took the game into his own hands. He scored
The Jayhawks have shown that they can win in pressure situations. Senior leadership combined with an improving freshman class have made Kansas successful thus far.
They proved themselves by beating two nationally ranked opponents and winning on the road. They have also put themselves in good position in the Big 12.
But for some reason, they always find themselves in a close
game.
"We have to do a better job of putting the foot on someone's throat when we have a chance to blow the game open." Moody said.
Self said that's because his team is still not where it needs to be.
"By no means do I consider us a finished product or have what it takes to win on the road," Self said. "We want to play our best ball in February and we are working to that goal each game."

Kansas women's basketball loses to three ranked teams, scores a few victories
T*

pbrand@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWINTER
With a schedule full of tough road games against high-ranked teams, the women's basketball team encountered a winter break schedule similar to the men's team.Unlike the men's team, though, tough losses in tight games have plagued a Kansas team that is currently 7-8 (0-4 Big 12 Conference).
The following is a rundown of the winter break action for the Jayhawks.
Kansas 84. Dartmouth 51
The hot-shooting Jayhawks trounced the Big Green with great shooting and a second half where Kansas outscored Dartmouth 43-20.
The Jayhawks were 50 percent from the field. Junior forward Crystal Kemp led on the inside and had 24 points.Deft passing by junior guard Erica Hallman produced 13 assists, tying for second on the University's single-game-assist list. Kaylee Brown, junior guard, scored a career-high 18 points and set the tone from the perimeter.
Creighton 68. Kansas 63
The first road game during break was the layhawk's second
road defeat as Creighton maintained a steady lead throughout.
Tough defense by the Jayhawks forced nine turnovers, but offensively the shots did not fall.
Hallman scored 20 points, senior guard Aquanita Burras had 13 and Kemp added 16 points and 17 rebounds. The other five Jayhawks combined for only 14 points. As a team, Kansas shot 35 percent.
Kansas 71. San Diego State 45
A suffocating defense with tight ball pressure forced 20 Aztec turnovers as the Jayhawks rolled to an easy victory at home.
Hallman and Kemp teamed up for 35 points and Brown had 11 to dominate the visitors. Every Jayhawk who entered the game scored.
Kansas notched its first road victory as the Jayhawks pulled ahead in the second half after leading 32-28 at the half. Balanced scoring keyed the game for Kansas with five players in double figures.
Kansas 80, Ball State 66
Burras scored a game-high 20 points as Kansas extended its second-half lead by shooting 54 percent in the second half. The Jayhawks held Kate Endress,
Ball State's leading scorer, to only 6-of-25 shooting.
No. 7 Texas 66. Kansas 51
Trailing only 47-43 in the second half, Kansas eventually fell to its second-ranked opponent of the year in Austin, Tex. The Longhorns pulled ahead late in the second half, hitting 12-of-14 free throws.
Hallman was the leading Jayhawk scorer with 20 points, while Kemp and Burras added 10 each. Tiffany Jackson and Heather Schreiber had a huge game for Texas, combining for 39 points in the Longhorn victory.
No.22 Kansas State 63. Kansas 45
After the Jayhawks jumped to a quick 17-8 lead, the Wildcats came back to tie the score at 26 by the half. Brown put up 11 of her team-high 13 points in the first half.
The early first-half momentum quickly dissipated in the second half as Kansas State's Kendra Wecker scored 12 of her 18 points after halftime.
Kansas shot 28 percent from the field in the second half while Kansas State shot 50 percent.
A season-best crowd of 5,551 gathered at Allen Fieldhouse for the in-state rivalry in which the Wildcats now hold a seven-game
No.24 Iowa State 70. Kansas 37
The Jayhawks never challenged the Cyclones in the home defeat. Four players scored double figures for Iowa State, but Kansas had no players with more than eight points.
An entire game of cold shots ended with the Jayhawks shooting 25 percent, while the Cyclone sharpshooters worked to extend the lead allgame long. The 37 points tied for second alltime in terms of scoring futility in the program's history.
Texas A&M 62, Kansas 60
The Jahawks nearly nabbed their first conference victory, but a furious comeback left them one score short on the road. After trailing by as many as 18 points, Kansas roared back to tie the game at 60 with only 1:05 remaining. A fade-away jumper at the last second by Aggie guard A'Quonesia Franklin secured a dramatic victory for the home team.
Burras tied her career high with 24 points to help Kansas get back in the game. Hallman dished out nine assists, but the Jayhawks are still awaiting their first Big 12 victory.

Crystal Kemp, junior forward, takes the ball up between Megan Ronvohde, Iowa State sophomore guard, and Lisa Krener, Iowa State senior forward. Kemp had seven points and nine rebounds during the 70-37 loss against the Cyclones.

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
The Big 12 Champion Jayhawk soccer team is still flying high after a record-season season.
SoccerBuzz, the leading magazine that covers NCAA women's soccer, honored five Kansas players and coach Mark Francis with post-season awards. Voting for the honors is done by Division I coaches and the SoccerBuzz staff.
Senior goalkeeper Meghan Miller, sophomore defender Holly
Gault and junior forward Caroline Smith received All-American accolades from the magazine. Gault earned first-team honors, while Miller was selected to the second team and Smith received honorable mention.
Miller led all Big 12 Conference goalkeepers in goals-against with a .57 average and save percentage with an impressive .881. Miller also finished second in the conference with 11 shutouts during the season.
Gault's defensive skills earned her first team honors. The
J a y h a w k defense only allowed 13 goals all season and had a team goals-against average of .55, which ranked ninth in the country at the end of the season.

SoccerBuzz also named senior midfielder Amy Geha with second team All-Central Region honors. Geha finished with four goals and five assists, 13 overall points, which put her tied for fourth on the team.
Freshman defender Afton Sauer was announced as the only Jayhawk on the Central Region All-Freshman. Sauer came on strong in her first year

CONTINUED FROM 1B
Senior guard Mike Lee came off of the bench to force back-to-back steals and five straight points by freshman Alex Galindo. Senior forward Wayne Simien played just three minutes in the first half because of two early fouls, and Langford had just one point.
"If you would have said that our starters were only going to have four (combined) points at halftime, I would have said that we were in trouble," Self said.
In trouble is where the Jayhawks found themselves, trailing at the half. 24-21.
For about the first five minutes of the second half, things got surprisingly better. Kansas opened the half with a 12-0 run that put them up 33-24.
"We had good energy, we pushed the ball, we rebounded, but that was the only highlight." Self said.
Kansas' momentum didn't stop Nebraska. They rattled off seven straight points and even had an opportunity to tie the game. But Nebraska forward Aleks Maric failed to hit a free throw that would have eveened the game at 42.

"They made shots when they had to," Lee said.
If that surge by the Cornhuskers didn't get the Jayhawks fired up, the curious officiating certainly did. The officials called double technical fouls on Lee and Nebraska guard Joe McCray with about

five minutes left in the game. McCray kicked Lee in the gut after they both dove for a loose ball out of bounds. Lee said some choice words to McCray and the referee caught him talking. On the next two possessions, the official called touch fouls on Keith Langford, but when Langford was clocked in the face on the other end of the court, no foul was called. That sent Kansas fans into a frenzy of boos and expletives directed at the referees.
The Jayhawks traded baskets with the Huskers for the rest of the game but could have kept it out of the clutch if they would have made free throws in the games crucial minutes. Kansas shot just 2-7 from the charity stripe in the last three and a half minutes of the game.
"Anytime you come out and let another team have a shot to win the game in your house, that is bad," Lee said. "We have got to do some things better as a team."
Free-throw shooting should be on that list. But ask Self and he'll tell you the thing this team needs to improve on the most is rebounding.
"If we rebounded like men, we would be a pretty good team," he said.

On the recruiting end, Kansas received 15 verbal commitments from high school seniors, including a commitment from www.rivals.com's top prospect in the state of Kansas, Kerry Meier.
Meier, a dual-threat quarterback from Pittsburgh, is a three-star recruit, according to www.rivals.com. Meier passed for nearly 1,000 yards and nine touchdowns this season. He also was the team's second leading rusher with 634 yards.

"He had some wonderful choices, to ponder, I think it was a very difficult process," Pittsburg High coach Merle Clark said. "Really, all those offers were on the table as early as last spring. He gave it some careful deliberation, and I think he made a good choice.
The 6-foot-4,209 pound, senior was not just the team's quarterback but he also played on the defensive side, intercepting three passes.

Sophomore guard J.R. Giddens evades Nebraska's freshman guard, Joe McCray, during last night's game in Allen Fieldhouse. The game ended in a close Jayhawk victory. 59-57.
CONTINUED FROM 1B
JEERING: Boos don't stop McCray's scoring
Despite the negative attention from Jayhawk fans, McCray turned in one of the finest games of his young college basketball career and seemed to play his best basketball when he received the most taunting.
"It's not so much that he responded to the crowd as much as it was a big game," Nebraska coach Barry Collier said. "He wants to be in it and I think he played well."
He played 35 minutes, scored 19 points, pulled down seven rebounds, and if it weren't for a late three-point attempt rattling in and out, he may have helped Nebraska pull one of the greatest upsets in the program's history.
"I think we did a good job on him, and he got 19," said Kansas coach Bill Self. "He's certainly going to be one of the best scorers in our league for the next four years."
It's hard to disagree with Self, as McCray looked more like a seasoned veteran in yesterday's match-up than a true freshman. McCray has been the catalyst for the Cornhuskers all season long as he is the team's leading scorer and averages 15.2 points a game.
Kansas fans will get another opportunity to ridicule McCray on Feb. 5 in Lincoln, Neb., but when asked if he would place any special emphasis on that game, like Harrison used to, McCray said he would not.
"I'm just trying to go game by game and win some. If we play with a high intensity, that will be it."

Ice causes messy pile-up
Cars parked in Alumni Place lot collide after ice forms on pavement

Seven cars were discovered compacted in the Alumni Place parking lot behind The Wheel Pizza Company, 507 W. 14th St. The KU Parking Department blocked off an area of spaces on the south side of the parking lot. Ice had formed on the pavement after water dripped from pipes at a nearby apartment complex.

The Alumni Place parking lot looked like a miniature demolition derby arena yesterday morning.
Seven cars were found compacted into each other on an icy incline on the south side of the lot, which is located south of The Wheel Pizza Company. 507 W.14th St.
The pipe was connected to drainage pipes from the apartments and a device in the ground.
Water was trickling into the parking lot yesterday morning from a pipe behird Kinney Coach apartments, 1430 Louisiana St., which was west of the collision.
Warren Zimmerman, owner of Kinney Coach apartments, was unavailable for comment.
David Gage, owner of Gage Management Services and Emery Place Apartments, said that water had flowed downhill from the University of Kansas campus. Emery Place Apartments is directly east of Kinney Coach apartments.

University of Kansas officials will close KU Printing Services this spring after several years of dwindling business. An exact closing date has not been determined.
Changes in printing technology, primarily through the wide use of electronic printing, have affected the service's profits, said Marilu Goodyear, vice president for information services.
KU Printing Services prints forms and documents for the University's Lawrence campus. The business made $2.5 million in printing jobs last year, a decrease of $500 thousand from three years ago. Goodwear said.
Unfortunately the decision means University employees will lose their jobs. The University has downsized the printing services from 40 employees three years ago to 20.
"My staff is pretty disappointed," Dennis Smith, print shop manager, said. "They feel like they've been let down by the University. They feel like they did all this for nothing."
Smith said the department of human resources had worked with his employees, but it could be difficult for

State money would go toward damaged structures across campus
BY DANIEL BERK

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The Board of Regents presented these deferred maintenance problems to the Legislative last October.
Now that the Legislature is in session, it's reviewing the presentation and researching further.
The six Kansas state universities have $584 million of maintenance problems, ranging from cracked sidewalks to collapsed ceilings.
Though deferred maintenance sounds small, it's not, said Jim Modig. director of Design and Construction Management.
Modig pointed out a few different areas on campus where deferred maintenance could be identified.
STUDENT SENATE
At Blake Hall, located southeast of Watson Library, air handling units are over 30 years-old. Modig said if a part broke and was not replaced in time, the
building could lose heating and cooling.
Murphy Hall, located north of Allen Fieldhouse, has gaps between the windows and the brick on the building's exterior. He said if those problems weren't fixed, brick could start falling from the building.
"I relate the problems we have to having a 20-year-old furnace in your basement at home," Modig said. "It might look fine from the outside, but on the inside there could be bad pipes causing it to fail."
"Part of what make our University so special are the older buildings we

have on campus," Boatright said. "It's important the public understands what we have to do to take care of the buildings on campus, and it should be a concern to all students because it affects safety and quality of education."
Members of Student Senate will travel to Topeka to meet with the Kansas Board of Regents this semester to try to help correct the current situation.
Deferred maintenance is the number one priority when Student Senate begins going to Topeka, said Katie Wolff, Student Senate legislative director.

Students will collaborate to raise money for the disaster relief effort
Several University of Kansas organizations are working together to raise money for tsunami relief.
Members of Delta Force, Panhellenic, International Students and Scholars Organization and the University chapter of the United Nations Children's Fund pledged fund-raising time to help victims
The collective fund raising will be called the KU Tsunami Relief Campaign. Each group will donate time for fund raising in upcoming events.
The first event occurred Wednesday at the Kansas men's basketball game against Nebraska. A table at Allen Fieldhouse collected donations for the Red Cross. The campaign will hold a similar event at the women's game

The wooden deck behind Quinton's Bar & Deli is gone. It has been a popular Lawrence hangout for more than ten years, owner Steve Gaudreau said.
Because of the smoking ban, Gaudreau said, things needed to change.
A two-level, enclosed concrete smoking deck will be built behind the bar to accommodate smoking customers.
The renovations at Quinton's, 615 Massachusetts St., are part of a common trend among local businesses to attract clientele.
The smoking ban has forced other bars to come up with creative ideas for patios and decks.

Reclaim your figure the old-fashioned way.
Lose the winter weight
By Jennifer Voldness, Jayplay writer
Break is over. The Lawrence nightlife is calling your name. You're ready to go out like a rock star and dress like one, too. Your Friday night outfit is laid out on the bed and you can't wait to show off your new "hot" jeans. There's just one problem: you can't get them past your hips. Panic sets in. A month of eating stale Christmas cookies and watching the Seinfeld DVDs has caught up with you from your thighs to your stomach. It may seem as though you're doomed for eternity to sweatpants, but fret not. Follow these easy steps to shed those holiday pounds that seem to creep up from nowhere.
Get active
You may not be able to wear those hot
jeans right away, but it won't be long before you're turning heads in those Sevens the way you had envisioned. It's going to take a little bit of effort, however. The easy and obvious solution is to go to the Student Fitness Recreation Center and hop on the treadmill. But if your athletic drive is next to nil, try incorporating activities into your day that are fun and don't seem like a chore. When was the last time you went ice-skating? You can burn more than 200 calories an hour gliding around on a pond with your sweetie. Winter doesn't have to be a sedentary season. Sledding is another great option to get you moving. According to Health Status Internet Assessments, one hour of sledding can burn more than 300 calories. It won't feel like work, and the pounds you gained
eating all that fruitcake will melt off in no time.
Eat better!
I know, I know, this one is going to be tough at first. But getting back on a healthy track will not only enhance your figure, it'll make you more focused and give you more energy. Drink lots of water as well. People get more dehydrated in the wintertime than any other season, so it's important to keep liquids like tea and juices around. Avoid soda as much as possible. It may be a tempting treat, but in the long run, it'll considerably slow down the weight-loss process.
Go out, don't pig out
We're all guilty of drunk late-night
snacking, and nothing sounds better at 2 in the morning than Wheel pizza. But if you want to slim down, drunk eating is not going to help. To help curb late-night cravings, make sure you eat before going out. Obviously, this won't work for everyone. For some people, food before bed is a necessity, and if this sounds like you, just avoid greasy fast food joints. They'll get you into the most trouble. Instead, opt for things like crackers or pretzels, which are low in calories but will fill you up quickly.
It's time to put down the eggnog and order an egg-white omelet. Grab your new iPod and jog to the gym. Remember, spring break is less than three months away; it's time to get serious. Welcome back!
Five sickest food moments of all time
As you follow our stellar advice on local bites this semester, remember that viewing unsavory content while you eat is inadvisable. Glimpse something stomach-churning and soon you'll be chucking up your pizza pie. Here's a list of disgusting movies and the moments you'll want to keep as far away as possible from yourself and a TV tray.
- Audrey II eats the shopkeeper in Little Shop of Horrors.
- Divine chomps on doggy doo (for real) in Pink Flamingos.
- Hopkins cooks a piece of Ray Liotta's brain and feeds it to him in Hannibal,
- Anthony Hopkins serves up Jessica Lange's kids as pie in Titus.
- Nicolas Cage gobbles up a cockroach (for real) in Vampire's Kiss.

BROTHERHOOD
The what, why and how of obsessive-compulsive disorder
For nearly an hour, Briana McAtee lies in bed having a silent argument with herself.
"Did I? Yes, you did. No, I didn't." She is convinced she switched the oven off, but a part of her refuses to believe. In reality, the oven is off. Deep down she knows it.
McAtee, Wichita senior, has tendencies of obsession-compulsive disorder (OCD). OCD is one of the most common anxiety disorders in the United States. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, 3.3 million adults have OCD.
Jack Nicholson's character in As Good As It Gets (1997) provides a pretty good example of the disorder with his incessant bouts of hand washing, avoidance of stepping on cracks and refusal to use the silverware supplied at restaurants. For those of you who didn't catch the flick, OCD involves uncontrollable thoughts and feelings that are followed by actions to relieve them. In other words, Nicholson's character is obsessed with germ contamination, therefore he relieves his obsession by compulsively washing his hands.
While there isn't a single proven cause for OCD, mental health experts have pinpointed how the brain works with the disorder. Basically, the rationale part of the brain (orbital front cortex) fails while the error-detecting part of the brain (anterior cingulate) keeps telling the person something is wrong. This is why McAtee has
small arguments with herself. She knows everything is fine, but that little annoyance in her brain keeps flashing a red light, overriding her rationality.
Leaving OCD untreated is a big no-no. The disorder is strongly linked to other life-debilitating disorders such as anorexia and depression. It can also hinder personal and professional relationships and lead to drug and alcohol abuse.
It was always an ordeal for McAtee to leave the house with her father, who also has OCD. He would constantly drive back home to be sure the garage door was shut, or that he had turned off the coffee pot or locked the front door. These moments can be classified as life-impairing.
If you think you have OCD, it is important to seek help from a health professional. But before you take a stroll to the clinic, consider taking the OCD self-test provided by the Anxiety Disorders Association of America at www.adaa.org.
Assess your actions
Consider your options
There is a difference between little obsessions and serious annoyances. If you are one who cannot keep the television volume set at an odd number, or leave the room without fluffing the pillows, you're just plain anal. But, if you have experiences that truly interfere with your normal routine, you may have OCD.
Medication is the most sought-after treatment, but also has the highest relapse rate of about 80 percent. People are more often encouraged to treat their OCD with medicine because they either want a quick fix or they are just unaware of the other options.
Psychotherapy is the other option, with a relapse rate of about 20 percent. With this type of therapy, people learn to attack their compulsions using techniques to reduce or stop them. For example, a person who constantly washes his hands may be trained to gradually reduce this behavior by only washing his hands before a meal or after using the restroom as opposed to every time he touches something.
For more information about OCD and treatment options, contact Counseling and Psychological Services on campus at 864-2277.
Patients of psychotherapy also learn to understand how their thoughts work and increase a cognitive understanding of the disorder. Every time McAtee doubts her actions, she resists the urge to satisfy the compulsion. So instead of getting up to check the oven, McAtee experiences a silent spell of uncertain thoughts and ultimately overcomes the need to reassure herself.

If your home smells a little funky when you return from break, follow his recipe from
Anne Marie Helmenstine chemistry guide at www.about.com - to make your own gel air freshener.
Ingredients:
1 cup distilled water Essential oil or other concentrated fragrance 2 packages unflavored gelatin 1/2 teaspoonful vodka empty jar
Boil 1/2 cup of the water and stir in gelatin until it
dissolves. Remove the mixture from the heat and stir in the rest of the water. Add about five to 10 drops of essential oil and the vodka, which keeps the gel from molding. You could have an alcohol-scented fragrance by using schnapps instead of vodka, Helmenstine says. Just make sure the
schnapps smell complements your other fragrance. Pour the mixture into a jar and place it in the refrigerator until it sets.

hatter madhatter madhatta
By Liz Beggs, Jayplay writer
My
buddy's old man once downed 67 beers at a company picnic. Legend has it Wade Boggs swallowed 64 during a cross-country flight. These are what I call great feats of alcohol consumption. Trying to drink that many in a week turned out to be harder than expected, and yet it was with that hope that I began my seven-day search for some of the best drink specials in Lawrence.
Monday
$2 well drinks, West Coast Saloon, 2222
lowa St.
Starting the evening out at West Coast Saloon proved to be a wise decision. Their $2 wells washed down the best burger I have had in town, and the advice of the guy sitting to my left provided me with a gem I will always hold close: "Good drinkers always leave themselves two ways out." If I had known that, I could have saved myself a lot of money and a suspended license in Ohio.
West Coast is laid-back bar that deals mostly with locals, graduate students and fifth-year seniors. David Dick, co-owner of West Coast Saloon, says that students come to West Coast for conversation and drinks, not to hear the beat of techno in the background.
***Also check out Jet Lag for $3.64-ounce pitchers of domestic beer**
Tuesday
$1 well drinks, it's Brother'sl Bar and Grill,
1105 Massachusetts St.
The crowd at It's Brother's! was nonexistent, but people are only part of the reason we venture out. I made my way to the bar in a hurry where a tall pitcher of beer sat on the bar top, so cold that condensation appeared on the glass. The barkeep handed me a pint, and I poured myself some salvation. After taking the first gulp, I realize something was not quite right. My glass smelled of rotten sponge. Quickly switching it out to a plastic cup solved the problem and got the night back on track.
**Also check out The Jazzhaus, 926 1/2 Massachusetts St., for $1.50 almost anything**
Wednesday
$3 double Red Bull and vodka, Johnny's Tavern, 410 N. Second St.
Normally low-key, Wednesday night at Johnny's Tavern turns the bar into one of the hottest spots in Lawrence. With the DJ spinning rap and R&B, bar-goers groove on a make shift dance floor. Hip-hop being the unspoken theme of the night, I overhear the girl next to me say to her friend, "I'm a big-booty bitch that likes them thick with their mind right." Have another, sweetie.
Thursday
$1.75 domestic schooners, Louise's Downtown, 1099 Massachusetts St.
Thursday at Downtown is hardly a secret. People usually line up down the sidewalk, stand elbow to elbow in the bar and have to suck in their guts to make their way around. Minimal discomfort when you consider the reward.
Also check out Jack Flanigan's Bar & Grill, 806 W.24" st., for $1.50*cais**
Friday
$2 anythings, The Cadillac Ranch, 2515 W. Sixth St.
Typically, the first people on the dance floor are either an older drunk couple groping each other or a small group of
girls goofing around. The Ranch was no exception. With beats like Prince and Blondie, the floor quickly filled with patrons drunk off the $2 anything special. But it wasn't until the DJ blasted Britney Spears that the action started and a brunette broke out in the whole "I'm a Slave 4 U" routine.
**Also check out Last Call for $2 any- things**
Saturday
$2.50 big beers, The Phoggy Dog, 2228
lowa St.
Located at 23rd and Iowa Streets, it surprised me that students frequented The Phoggy Dog. Situated perfectly on the Fieldhouse bus route, Darren White, Topeka bartender, says that the Dog usually draws a good game crowd, and tonight was no exception. After a Saturday night victory over Colorado, people were ready to party, and inexpensive beer loosened up the group.
**Also check out The Replay Lounge, 946
Massachusetts St., for $2 Skyy**
$2 Bloody Marys, Louise's West, 1307 W.
Seventh St.
Sunday
One of the best cures for a hangover, it is no surprise that after a hard night of partying, a majority of Lawrence bars offer some sort of Bloody Mary special on Sunday. West serves the best in town-that's why Jocelyn Babcock, bartender and KU graduate, started coming to Louise's West even before she worked there. The crowd is perfect for a relaxed Sunday afternoon, and if you decide to keep drinking, even better for a wild night.
**Also check out Quinton's Bar and Deli,
615 Massachusetts, for $2 23-ounce
draws**

It's cold outside and you're looking to unfreeze your insides. Cozy up to the bar and order yourself an Irish coffee. The drink debuted 1942 at a restaurant inside Foynes Airport in Ireland. It was there that Chef Joe Sheridan mixed coffee, brown sugar and fine whisky topped with
whipped cream and then
served the drink to cold, weary travelers. The town of Foynes continues to host an annual Irish Coffee Festival. Sheridan moved to San Francisco in 1952, where he worked at the Buena Vista Café. As a result, the San Fran café has gained an interna-

2 ounces Bushmills Irish Whisky
2 teaspoons brown sugar
5-6 ounces freshly brewed,

Stir ingredients in a coffee or wine glass and top with lightly whipped cream.
The true flavor comes by drinking the hot coffee and Irish whiskey through the cream.

The band:

Turn up the synthesizers and keyboards. It's time for some geeky power-pop from Orange County's Hellogoodbye! The band's debut EP, released on Drive-Thru Records, provides some danceable, melodic, and just plain fun tunes that will take on Weezer or Reggie and the Full Effect in a chess match any day. Geek jokes aside, Hellogoodbye's music is actually sophisticated and versatile, never letting up on the energy. The band plans on going on a national tour at the end of January, and a full-length album, which vocalist Forrest Kline is currently writing, is set to release in late May.
Jayplay writer chats with vocalist/guitarist Forrest Kline about Saved by the Bell and the prom:
The origin of your band name comes from three sources: the Beatles song, the abstract meaning of everyone coming and going, and Screech saying the phrase in the Hawaii episode of Saved by the Bell. What is your favorite Saved by the Bell episode?
Dude, every single one of them is so good. I recently bought the DVDs, and I had forgotten how bad the acting really was, yet that's what makes it so beautiful. I think one episode that sticks out is the "Buddy Bands" episode, in which there's a class project to
start up a company, and Zack and the gang create and sell these friendship bracelets that become pretty popular at school. But the bracelets take a big hit when Mr. Belding, the principal, buys one because then they are not cool anymore.
Of course. And the song was really created for that reason. It just happened to end up on the EP. We made a song for Jesse called "Jesse Buy A Corsage" for a girl to be asked to the homecoming dance.
"Jesse Buy Nothing... Go to Prom Anyways" is a truly insane song about asking a girl to prom. The song actually was made for keyboardist Jesse Kurvink so that he could ask a girl to prom. Did the girl say yes?
No, not really. It's funny, because Jesse was the organizer of that prom. He was a member of the ASB(Assembled Student Body) and junior class president. This guy, Paul White, was senior class president, and he didn't do a whole lot. The only reason why he ran for class president in the first place is because he thought it would be funny. So the prom really didn't turn out that well. I didn't even go. In fact, I went to one high school dance the entire time I was in high school, and that was some "medium" dance like homecoming or something. And I left early.
Speaking of prom, did students at your high school take prom very seriously?
No two shows the band puts on are alike. You guys went onstage once in soccer uniformsand give out yellow cards for inappropriate use of the
hands. What are some future theme showsyou have planned?
Well, I don't know yet. The themes are mostly spur of the moment, like if we happened to go to a costume store that day or something. We just go with what we see. We are planning an acoustic show, which is not so fun, but will be fun because it's not so fun. I will drag out some banjos and a bunch of crazy stuff. There'll be a hoedown and maybe some storytime. We
www.hellogoodbye.net
also want to have a song where everyone's parents play. All of our dads, except mine, are musicians, and I think we are going to have them play a Frank Sinatra cover. Chris's dad is also a drummer, and he used to actually play with Frank Sinatra, and his grandpa performed with him as well. Jesse's dad also plays piano so maybe they could do a duet. Marcus's dad plays guitar, so he could join him. My dad doesn't play anything, though.
Which of the characters at Disneyland do you like the best?
Aladdin is definitely the best.
What's a guilty pleasure of yours in terms of what kind of music you listen to?
Well, technically I don't believe in the term "guilty pleasure," but I suppose something
that I sort of like that I would say kind of fits that category would be Christina Aguilera's "Beautiful." "Baby Spice's new album would fit that category. Maybe 'Burn' by Usher or
"Toxic" by Britney Spears.
What's the most disguising thing you've ever had to do?
Be on tour with Jesse.
What does Jesse do?
Well, he chews loudly when he eats, and white spit foams
around his mouth. And he has zits on his butt. But girls really like him. Something else did that was disgusting was I had to eat a big mix of random food, including ketchup, ranch dressing, marmalade jelly, hob fries and some other stuff. Usually I can eat anything, but I physically could not eat this because there was also like ___ of table salt in the food. All I had to do was eat one spoonful to get $20, but my body would not let me swallow the stuff.
What kind of girl would you rather date, a girl who is obsessed with The OC or a girl who is obsessed with Nascar racing?
That's a tough one, but I would have to say a girl who watches The OC, even though I really don't like it.

Young Christian fundamentalists learn to deal with the conflicts in their hearts and in the hearts of others.
Students sometimes find it difficult to balance student life with their religious life. Waking up for Sunday service can limit Saturday night fun.
Photos by Kit Leffler

Every Sunday, Kyle King wakes at nine or so in the morning when most of his K.K. Amini Scholarship Hall is still asleep. He showers and throws on some slacks and a polo, takes the first pick of the donuts down in the kitchen, knocks on a couple doors to see if anyone wants to come with, and heads to Christ Community Church for songs and a sermon.
On this particular Sunday, he and the rest of the congregation - a disproportionate amount of which is college students - start the service by standing and singing, reading the lyrics of the selected hymns from a large projection screen that hangs on the wall. A six-member band at the front plays along to the songs. Three women belt out the vocals and three men play guitar, bass and drums.
The son of a Baptist preacher in rural Ness City, King's been going to church on Sundays his entire life. The ritual is embedded into his weekly routine like school or anything else.
The pervasive feeling is one of jubilation. Yet the day's message is decidedly apocalyptic.
After a pre-sermon baptism during which a young boy is immersed in water – "Just because the water is lukewarm doesn't mean I want you to be that way as a Christian," the pastor says as he dunks the boy into the tub – the sermon begins.
Today's message, "Ready or not here He comes," is about the second coming of Christ and fabled Armageddon's first phase, which believers come to as The Rapture. It's the precursor to the end of the world, when God's people are supposedly swept up into heaven to be rescued from the impending reign of the Antichrist.
The pastor's sermon serves as a warning extolling Christianity's exclusive right to salvation.
"We can be sincerely wrong and sincerely headed in the wrong direction," the pastor says of society's emphasis on acceptance of all faiths.
But the sermon is also a declaration of hope, at least for Christians.
"Don't dread the coming of the Lord, look forward to it," he says. King sits silently and absorbs the uncompromising speech, and
doesn't speak of it during the car ride home. Instead, he talks of an upcoming lit test and his aspirations of someday being a fiction writer. In person, King is anything but imposing. Bashful and bespectacled, he instead has an aura of easygoing acceptance, seemingly unlike the fundamentalist religion he adheres to.
But that implicit conflict is just part of the person King is, and it's something he shares with the numerous other fundamentalist Christians on campus. It's about finding individual identity in a rigid belief system and existing in a tolerant society, while espousing beliefs that most don't consider tolerant.
---
Many Christians become wary at the mere mentioning of the word "fundamentalism." Hesitation seeps into their voice, and their words become guarded. "How do you define it," they'll ask, or "what do you mean?"
Few words connote such a broad variety of meanings in contemporary society, and depending on who's doing the defining it, fundamentalism can refer to idealism or close-mindedness. Christians want to know what label is being pinned on them.
"It started as an innocent term describing people who believe the basics," says Lanny Maddox, executive director of the University's Campus Christians group. "In some camps, 'fundamentalist' has come to mean radically illogical, highly prejudiced, hateful bigots."
The word has been used to characterize the bombers of abortion clinics and segregationists who decry the so-called "mongrelization of the races." Joel Carpenter, author of Revive Us Again: The Reawakening of American Fundamentalism, says the label, should only be used to describe Christians of this hostile, militant nature. He says these militant fundamentalists are fighting a "culture war to restore the country to the Christian contingent." As for people such as King, who lives according to a strict Christian code but is not exactly militant, Carpenter labels them "conservative" Christians.
Others, like Maddox, interpret the word more generously, and on the University campus, there are non-militant Christians such as King who would describe themselves as fundamentalists. King says his idea of fundamentalism comes down to believing in the inerrancy of the Bible – that “it's all true in one way or another,” – and believing that Christ is the only means of salvation. Timothy Miller, professor of religious studies, also emphasizes the importance of “truth” when describing fundamentalism. “Fundamentalism, if nothing else, gives answers,” he says. “It's firm. This is it. This is the truth. No question.”
These are key ways that fundamentalism distinguishes itself from Christianity's more progressive forms, which often interpret the Bible in a more academic way and don't always make the same claim to heavenly exclusivity.
This fundamentalism is not an identity that restricts itself to any particular
denomination, and in fact, some of these students refuse to affiliate with a denomination. "I just got to a point where I felt like that was emphasizing the differences," says Mary Westfall, Blue Springs, Mo., senior. "The point is all those things are Christianity."
King's experience at the University of Kansas has relaxed his ideas on some spects of Christianity. For instance, he now considers drunkenness a sin, not drinking.
These students like Mary aren't the wildeyed tent revivalists collapsing in fits to the ground and speaking in tongues, and they aren't God's warriors risen from the moral lassitude of the "flower child" 60s to wreck the Lord's vengeance. They are people who believe the right way to live is according to the infallible guidance of the Bible, which holds the answers to all of life's questions.
Still, whether they proclaim their faith loudly or hold it silently in their heart, they are philosophically black sheep on the University campus, in part because their beliefs conflict with more conventional social values.
***
King's experience coming to college is a case in point.
Ness City, where he grew up, wasn't exactly a haven for Christian morality. King says it wasn't uncommon, for example, to see drunks and unlicensed 14-year-olds cruising the main drag on a Friday night, and his high school, like most others around the country, had its share of problems with alcohol and drugs.
Nevertheless, on the surface at least, the dusty, no-stoplight burg southwest of Hays was full of staunch conservatives, and while people might take a kids-will-bekids approach to underage drinking, the environment was by no means as permissive as, say, Lawrence.
So, while the University is only 330 or so miles up U.S. 283 and east on l-70 from the flat, red-brick house where King lived the last 11 years of his childhood, culturally, the divide can't be measured in miles, and King's three-going-on-four years of college have mellowed out his perception of certain aspects of Christian morality.
His attitude toward drinking is his first example. The first drink King ever had was on his $21^{\text{st}}$ birthday just this last summer. "I went to $75^{\text{th}}$ Street Brewery, and I tried some sort of wheat beer," King says. "Then she brought out this shot of something, and I drank it much to everyone's amazement." Up until that point, King's alcohol intake had been limited to Communion wine because he was convinced that ANY drinking was a sin.
Upon coming to Lawrence, however, he investigated the issue more closely in the Bible and concluded that drunkenness was the sin, not drinking per say. No other authority but the Bible could have changed his mind on the issue, because as a fundamentalist, that is where King turns to discern the truth.
Perhaps a touchier issue is King's feelings regarding homosexuality. Among the denizens of Ness City, being openly gay
So don't expect to see King stumbling back from The Wheel on a Saturday night, blitzed out of his skull, but he doesn't see anything wrong with the occasional beer.
was about as common as sprouting wings and flying away. In Lawrence, obviously, at the school lovingly coined "Gay U" by western Kansas homophobes, the orientation is more acceptable.
King had never even met a gay person before he came to college. Since then, he's known a couple just within the confines of K.K. Amini.
Here, King doesn't see the same gray area in the Bible that he discovered with drinking. He still thinks the behavior is wrong. But if nothing else, he says being in Lawrence has chinked away at his sense of self-righteousness concerning the issue.
"You see sin in other people and see what I do that the Bible says is wrong is just as bad as what they do," King says, meaning that he sees his own sin as no less serious than the sin he considers homosexuality. King's statement won't soon be celebrated by any gay-rights activists, but it's as far as he feels the Bible lets him go.
***
Besides intolerance, another social criticism commonly applied to Christian fundamentalism is that it subjugates women. It flys in the face of a culture still trying to unshackle itself from a patriarchal past. As such, the stereotypical notion of women minding the home while their fearless-leader husbands are off making all the money doesn't sit well with most people.
Maybe that's why it is surprising to meet Mary Westfall, who in one breath describes her dreams of earning a medical degree and being a pediatrician, and in the next, talks about how she believes in the submission model of marriage, where the wife does serve the husband.
Implicitly, she seems like a walking contradiction. On the one hand, there is nothing dainty or dependent about her. Everything from her purposeful walk to her unwavering gaze to her smooth, articulate voice conveys a sense of capability. And yet, here she is seeming to endorse an attitude that diminishes her.
Of course, she doesn't see it that way. Sure, she says, the Bible puts the man at the head of the household, and some groups have used this to subvert the interests of women, but the Bible also says that men should respect and lay down their lives, if necessary, for their wives. There's a give-and-take there that most people fail to notice, though Westfall doesn't blame them for not seeing it. "People aren't going to understand a relationship based on mutual submission," she says. "God honors servants over all."
Westfall hasn't always thought that way. Toward the end of high school, actually, though she had grown up in a Christian family, she found herself gravitating away from those roots into a phase where she didn't know what she believed. Westfall attributes her period of disillusionment mostly to the hard time she had stomaching the idea that Christians were the only ones saved.
So she came to the University and studied other religions to try and fill the void. She read texts from Buddhism and Hinduism. She hung out with people of different faiths, looking for the answers that eluded her.
As for her feelings about the relationship between men and women at this point, she didn't think much of anything. "I CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE don't really know a whole lot of girls reflecting on their model of marriage," she says.
Despite all the searching, Westfall eventually found herself returning to a familiar place. After a solid year of uncertainty, it was still the Bible that rang the most true to her. "It came down to me that the faith that made sense was the faith I'd left behind," she says.
With her restored faith, Westfall studied the Bible with renewed focus, and from there, developed her conclusions about marriage and the roles of men and women. Though she admits the Bible leaves room for other interpretations, she likes this one the best because, in her mind, it is the most straightforwardly presented. It is also the model of her parents' marriage, which resembles what she someday hopes to get for herself, though not necessarily anytime soon.
And don't ever expect her to give up her dreams of being a pediatrician for any husband. Westfall says that's not part of the deal. "I believe God is calling me to be a doctor," she says.
***
There are some, like Campus Christians' Maddox, who claim that the University environment is somewhat hostile to Christian fundamentalism. This hostility, he says, takes the form of a general attitude on campus that undermines Christian values.
Probably few would be surprised at this claim, and fewer still would complain
about it. Maddox's beef is with the University's tolerant, "everything is OK" philosophy, which seems impossible to get around in a setting that doesn't lay claim to any specific faith. And beyond faith, the education-oriented nature of the University can also be construed as a threat to fundamentalist values, says Professor Paul Mirecki, chairman of religious studies department. "Time at the University is a time for learning rather than solidifying," he says.
She adds that Christians have brought some of it on themselves. From money- grubbing televangelists to hypocritical moralists, people claiming to represent Christ have "done some pretty horrible things."
things.
Evangelizing, or spreading the Gospel, is also a way Christian fundamentalists can arouse animosity against their religion - particularly when they get in peoples' faces and pursue aggressive confrontations about faith and being saved.
"Christianity is the un-cool religion," Westfall says, recalling instances where her philosophy has been called out in class, where people have called her brainwashed and a non-thinker. "As kids, we tend to be indoctrinated with 'don't offend Moslems, don't offend Hindus,' but it seems to be OK to just rip into Christianity."
But though the University does not endorse any specific faith, and should therefore theoretically treat them all equally, some still believe Christianity is viewed with more than its fair share of criticism.
Westfall doesn't participate in "street evangelism," which involves confronting random people, but Lee Bickerstaff does.
Bickerstaff, Emporia senior, is co-chairman of the Campus Crusade for Christ's evangelism committee, and frequently, he can be seen roaming the sidewalks of Wescoe Beach or some other campus locale, handing out spiritual surveys or just talking to people about Christ. Bickerstaff says he tries to minimize negative reactions by being as unimposing as possible, and for the most part, he finds people receptive to his message even if not necessarily in agreement with it.
Nevertheless, Bickerstaff has personally felt the backlash that evangelism sometimes inspires. His sophomore year, he was the centerpiece of a Christian campaign that involved a couple hundred students wearing red-tee shirts around campus that were emblazoned with yellow lettering that proclaimed, "I agree with Lee."
What did everyone agree with Lee on? That Jesus Christ is the son of God and he died for peoples' sins and everything else in the Christian mantra. The week-long campaign was a way for Christians on campus to show their solidarity and proclaim their faith, and also to stimulate University-wide dialogue on the subject which is a central idea behind their evangelical efforts.
Needless to say, there were those on campus who disparaged the campaign because they said it pushed faith on peo-
ple, and Bickerstaff,' as the mascot of the effort, attracted many personal attacks. He says he would walk around campus and see chalked-out messages that threatened him and even insulted his family, all because of the "I Agree with Lee" teeshirts.
But most negative reactions to evangelism, he asserts, are a good deal tamer. People usually don't go out of their way to heckle him. Most of the time, they prefer to simply ignore him.
King's experience with faith-based ostracism is similarly mild. The occasional weirdness he encounters with people on campus is no different or no more severe than when the Catholic kids used to make fun of him in good old Ness City.
But he's used to it, and as is his way, he accepts it His fundamentalist faith, though it sometimes pushes him into conflict, is as much a part of him as his love for writing or any other aspect of his personality, and he survives the occasional struggles it brings, much like he survived being the pastor's kid all those years growing up. He surrounds himself with some good friends, and now, his girlfriend of 18 months, and with them and his God to confide in, it's "survivable."
And it's not like people even make fun of him now. Mostly, it's just this underlying sense of awkwardness and a guilt that people sometimes feel around him, as if he's secretly judging every move they make, which he says is ridiculous.

Students with arthritis cope with their disability by spreading awareness to other students
By Jayme Wiley, Jayplay writer
It's 9:15 in the morning and class starts at 9:30. After searching for that treasured parking spot for the last 15 minutes, you're just now arriving on campus, and you know you have to run in order to make it on time. At 9:29, sighing because you made it to class on time, you are slightly winded from the running you just endured. Now imagine the same scenario, but you are a student with a physical disability in which running is not an option. Daily life as a student has to be readjusted. Imagine being in a wheelchair and waiting five minutes for an elevator or using a dog to guide you through the crowds outside Wescoe.
These are just a few of the adjustments students with disabilities make during their daily life on campus.
Stephanie Schmid, El Paso, Texas, sophomore, is a student with a physical disability. She has JRA, or Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis. Her disability is different from most because it isn't something one can see. JRA affects the joints in her knees every day, although some days are worse than others. Schmid says that she doesn't expect people to know that something is wrong with her. She doesn't really bring it up unless they ask because she says the typical response will be: "No way! You're too young to have
arthritis; my grandma has that."
She wants others to know she is a normal young adult. "I have no doubt that there are some people who speak more slowly to students in wheelchairs, who walk slowly, etc.," she says. "Just because their legs don't work doesn't mean that their mind doesn't work either. I mean, hey, we went to college," Schmid says.
Schmid isn't the only student with JRA. Katey Birge, Denver junior, is experiencing the same thing. Birge suffers from JRA just as Schmid does but also deals with a condition called Sydenham's Chorea. Sydenham's Chorea is an immune disorder that attacks the immune system and
fights against it instead of with it. it affects the brain stem, joints and tissues.
A typical day for Birge consists of trying to survive in a world where her disease is often misconstrued as laziness. She avoids taking the stairs and other activities that put pressure on her joints. She says having a disability has given her strength in many other areas. She has compassion for others; she knows that there is more going on with a person than what the eye can see.

Both Birge and Schmid are working with an organization on campus called Able-Hawks. This organization is there as a support group for those with any kind of disability. Its mission is to create awareness of disability issues on campus.
Zach Coble, Winfield sophomore and president of AbleHawks, says he knows that AbleHawks is a young organization, but it has great potential. He says the organization is always trying to find ways to help those with disabilities on campus, whether it be structurally or mentally.
Schmid became involved with the Able-Hawks around the time it began, and Birge joined around October of 2004. Both are enjoying the work the organization does on campus as well as making friends in the process.
"I am hopeful that in the future we can act as advocates for students who are having trouble obtaining the accessibility options they may require for classes," says Coble. "In addition, I would like to do a campus-wide awareness event that promotes disability history and culture."
"I am around people who understand. We help each other cope and help educate others, I believe," Birge says.

Iconic songwriter Neil Sedaka, in his infinite wisdom, was dead-on when he wrote, "breaking up is hard to do," but that doesn't mean there aren't ways to make it easier. If you're teetering on the edge of relationship failure, but you're just not sure how to end it, look no further than breakitoff.com, which bills itself as the "official site of breaking up with your love interest."
At first glance, the site looks a little too jovial for its subject matter, but behind the design is a collection of content well-suited for the site's stated pur-
pose. Visitors can read and garner insight from stories of other people's breakups; they can submit their own stories, post advice requests on a message board and take a quiz designed to assess whether they should break up with their partner.
The Web site won't do the dirty deed for you if breaking up is what you decide to do, but if you have questions about how to let your special someone down, breakitoff.com is one place to turn for answers.

Jessi: If I could make it easier on both of you, I'd let you switch bodies for a day and you could tell her what you need when you're crying over every Hallmark commercial craving M&M's and pretzels. The truth is, it's different for every girl, so ask what she would like from you and if that includes a tummy-rub spoon, you better give it to her. Along with a delicious bass.
Chris: "Switch bodies?" Jessi, that'll never work! Idiot! When girls are in their crazy week, you're well-advised to steer clear. But if you have to interact with her, bring drugs, food and don't say anything!
Q
At the end of last semester, my girlfriend started going through a quarter-life crisis. She lost her job, she never went to class and all she did was watch TV and eat. I want her to do well this semester. What can i do to help?

Jen, senior
Chris: She's depressed or she's a living example of the new American dream - unemployed, uneducated and a slave to TV and junk food. Call it a quarter-life crisis or call it self-sabotage, but at the root of this issue are bigger emotional problems. Talk to her and offer to help get her started on the right foot. And turn off MTV.
Jessi: Your friend hit a bout of depression and there is plenty you can do. Tell her how much you care about her and that you noticed a change. Offer to help her find a job or go to the gym with her to get her off the couch. She needs you to help her remember who she is. If you feel you've done all you can do, don't hesitate to get her to a doctor. Best of luck.
Q
I'm currently sleeping with a very well-endowed guy, I really haven't slept with that many people, and I'm worried when we break up I'll be too loose and other guys will think I'm a slut. Am I retarded?

Jessi: You're right. You're walleried out for life! KIDDING! Actually your vaginal muscles are amazing, so when you and your big beau are no more, never fear because after a while (like a few months) your vagina will return to its near virgin-like state of "tight." And do kegels exercises if you're really worried.
Chris: Why would you want to be tight again? You're living in the past man! Don't you know the hot new fad of 2005 is crazy-loose vaginas!

The Life Aquatic (☆☆☆)
R. 118 minutes, South Wind 12
Smiles are an endangered species in Wes Anderson movies. This is the case in his past films such as Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaums, and also in his latest, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. In all of these movies his characters move through the plot doing and saying ridiculous things with deadpan expressions, and it is one of the reason why his films are so loved: Watching something so
---
offbeat and bizarre that's taken so seriously that gives the viewers a sense that they are the only ones getting the joke. The Life Aquatic follows the same formula, but different from Anderson's past films, it hurts the film more than it helps it. But the film has enough quirks and offbeat humor to bring enough smiles to the viewer's face to make it worth seeing.
Bill Murray plays the title character, Steve Zissou, an aging oceanographer and documentary filmmaker, in search of the shark that are his friend so he can exact
his revenge upon it. Among his crew is Steve's estranged son (Owen Wilson), an eccentric and lovable mechanic (William
Dafoe), a pregnant journalist (Cate Blanchett) and a safety expert and guitar player (Seu Jorge) who translates David Bowie songs into Portuguese and sings them at random times during the movie. During the voyage, Steve and his crew encounter pirates and a three-legged dog, break and enter into an underwater research lab and have a run-in with a rather large creature known as a jaguar shark.
The biggest flaw in The Life Aquatic is that its characters look like they are having a miserable time doing remarkable things, and it makes it difficult to have fun watching them. But it's the little things that save this movie. How cool would it be to have a random guy singing David Bowie songs in Portuguese to cheer you up when you're having a bad day? Maybe in Wes Anderson's next movie, the characters will find pleasure in the little things like that.

The Aviator
1/2)
PG-13, 166 minutes, South Wind 12
The Aviator is a biopic about a man with dreams greater than the world wanted them to be: Howard Hughes. This film, directed by Martin Scorsese and starring a talented and diverse ensemble including Leonardo DiCaprio, cast almost perfectly, captures the man and his accom-
plishments. It also shows how Hughes wasn't able to handle the greatness of his own life.
The film starts in the late 1920s with Hughes already a millionaire businessman and focused on a career in the movie business. His film Hell's Angels would become the most expensive movie of its time because of Hughes's obsession with perfection, drawing out production and
Hughes his millions back and famous in the process.
THE JOHN W. HOWE BASE
This opening act of The Aviator is indicative of the rest of the film. Hughes settles for nothing less than the greatness that leads to his downfall. After Hell's Angels, Hughes goes on to court Katharine Hepburn (Cate Blanchett), design and pilot the fastest plane ever built and build the largest aircraft of its
eventually having to finance it himself just to see it finished. Making the film bankrupts him, but when he finished, Hell's Angels is successful and made
time, becoming the world's richest man in the process.
The talented supporting cast includes Blanchett, Jude Law, John C. Reilly and Kate Beckinsale. Blanchett's portrayal of Hepburn stands out among them. She does a good job of inhabiting her character and not letting herself become a living caricature. Scorsese's film lets Hughes's life speak for itself and its grandeur, and as a result, is pure entertainment.

House of Flying
Daggers (✩✩✩)
PG-13, 119 minutes, Liberty Hall
In 859 China, near the fall of the Tang Dynasty, a rebel group called the House of Flying Daggers is fighting the corrupt and incompetent government. One of the rebels, Mei (Ziyi Zhang), is captured while posing as a showgirl at the Peony Pavilion brothel. Meanwhile, two imperial guards, Jin (Takeshi Kaneshiro) and Leo (Andy Lau), hatch a plan to infiltrate the rebels.
Jin pretends to rescue Mei, hoping she'll lead him to the House of Flying Daggers. For three days, through a forest strewn with fallen golden leaves, Mei, who's blind, and Jin, who's having second
thoughts, head north toward the rebel base, fighting off Mei's pursuers and quickly falling in love.
This is the premise for Zhang Yimou's ravishing, gravity defying, deliriouslyromantic martial-arts masterpiece House of Flying Daggers. Yimou also directed last fall's Jet Li hit Hero, which was visually stunning but emotionally cool. Here, Yimou combines
formal virtuosity with an emotional potency rarely seen in action pictures.

Coach Carter (★★)
PG-13,137 minutes,
South WInd 12
Samuel L. Jackson has the most commanding and intense presence of any actor of his generation. If there's one thing he's taught audiences it is that you do not mess with this guy. Because of this, he is the perfect actor to play the title character in Coach Carter, a high school basketball coach who demands that his players put more time into their lives off the court than on it. It's hard to not like a movie like this because it has good intentions and its heart is in the right place, but it's not enough to elevate it above any other inspirational sports movie.
Coach Carter was inspired by the life of Ken Carter, a basketball coach at a California high school in the late 1990s. Carter made his players sign a contract saying they would maintain a 2.3 GPA, attend all
of their classes, sit in the front row of those classes and wear ties on
game days. The team consists of the usual band of misfits, disrespectful and rebellious players who don't like the idea of a new coach coming into their gym and ordering them around. It's no surprise that before long Coach Carter has the team turned completely around on the basketball court, improving the team's record from four victories to being undefeated.
feits games until the team meets the goals he has set.
But when Carter learns the team members haven't been performing up to the academic standards he set for them, he locks the gym and forthree-point shots at the buzzer that we've all seen too many times before.
IT BEGINS ON THE STREETS.
IT ENDS HERE
SMUILT LINCOLN
COACH CARTER
Jackson uses as much screen presence as he can here. I can't imagine anyone else more suited for the part. When he walks onto that court and tells his players to address himself and everyone else as "sirs" you know damn well they're going to do it. But what drags Coach Carter down are the sports movie clichés. There are a few last-second, slow motion,

For fans of Fox's period sitcom That '70s Show, the generous charm, deadpan delivery and exquisite comic timing of Topher Grace are no secret. Now the rest of us can share the wealth with Paul Weitz's new film, the endearing comedy-drama In Good Company. Grace is Carter Duryea, a rising young star in a
has just acquired Sports America, the nation's number-one sports magazine, and Carter is chosen to lead the periodical's advertising department. That means taking the job of Dan Foreman (Dennis Quaid), a seasoned family man now pushing 52.
Dan's humiliation is doubled when he learns his new boss is only 26. Further complicating his life are a newly pregnant wife (Marg Helgenberger) and a suddenly distant daughter (Scarlett Johansson) who falls hard for Carter.
Weitz seamlessly blends broad comedy and emotional pathos. With this and 2002's About a Boy, he's developed a light-fingered tone with an emphasis on flawed, three-dimensional characters.
David Paymer and Kevin Chapman movingly embody two working stiffs victimized by corporate takeover. At the opposite end of the spectrum is Globecom tycoon
Teddy K, played by a slyly cast Malcolm McDowell, still a tyrant all those years after A Clockwork Orange and Caligula.
Quaid is just as affable here he was in 2002's The Rookie. Johanson, another consistent performer, gives a delicate, understated performance, particularly in the extended sequence where she seduces Carter. And Grace shows off a deeper dramatic side that should serve him well in a long career.
Though ambition isn't its strong suit, In Good Company has the same complex view of the world that made About a Boy so unforgettable. Weitz's vision of a new kind of extended American family will warm your heart.

The Arcade Fire Funeral
Few albums in recent memory name-check Haitian dictators, employ whistling kettles or come with liner notes packaged as a funeral pamphlet. The Arcade Fire manages to do not one, but all of these things on Funeral, its debut album. Additionally, long-forgotten and oft-misunderstood instruments such as xylophone and accordion are invited to mingle among the guitars and pianos. It's this unconventional daring that makes the Arcade Fire so refreshing.
The album's first half acts as a quasi-conceptual suite of four tracks entitled "Neighborhood," and are explorations into the mind and behavior of people in general. On "Neighborhood #4 (7 Kettles)," frontman Win Butler states none too cryptically, "My eyes are covered by the hands of my unborn kids, but my heart keeps watchin' through the skin of my eyelids," while the aforementioned kettle whistles contentedly.
The album's best track also happens to be its most telling. On "Rebellion (Lies)," each band member enters into the song independently, like role players gathering onstage. Heard individually, it's clear that there are no virtuosos present; each player could be called average or adequate at best. But once they all enter, it's clear that this band's strength is as an ensemble. In that vein, the Arcade Fire is a great band in the truest sense of the word and ironically, Funeral, is just the beginning.

Prince of Persia: Warrior Within
The Prince of Persia has returned. No longer is he on a quest for redemption. Now, he is in a fight for his very life. And this time, he can't afford to be softhearted. Prince of Persia: Warrior Within has a darker and more mature tone.
The story for Warrior Within takes place a few years after the end of the events from Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. The past years have been hard on the Prince. He has become a skilled warrior on the battlefield. When he returns to Babylon, Dahaka, a being whose sole purpose is to kill the Prince, chases him. Since he has been chased by Dahaka, the Prince has not eaten or slept. It will not stop until he is dead. The Prince soon discovers that the Dahaka was created when the Prince distorted the timeline with the Dagger of Time. The Prince must now travel to when and where the Sands of Time were created and stop the Dahaka's creation.
The new look for the Prince has a darker tone than The Sands of Time. His personality has become harsher and more serious. It fits well with the more mature take on the story.
In this game, you must still solve puzzles and run upon walls, which is now integrated with a new fighting aspect. In the previous game, the player would run along walls and then come to an area filled with bad guys. Now both areas have become one. It seems to have more of an emphasis on fighting than on solving puzzles.
Other new aspects of the game are the Free Form Fighting System and optional
dual wielding. With free-form combat, the player can do numerous things to dispatch an enemy. For example, once he grabs an enemy, he can strangle the enemy, slice him in half at the torso or take his weapon and decapitate him. This gives players the option of creating a fighting style that is customizable. It is now possible to steal the weapons from

opponents, and pick up any you find in the area. When the Prince had two weapons, more combat actions can be performed and work well when surrounded by several opponents.
The environment around the Prince has become even more interactive. Traps in the first game could always spell doom for the Prince, but now he can use them to his advantage. Players can now activate traps with switches and kill enemies without even having to touch them. Also, more combat options have been added such as being able to swing on poles and using a sword in a devastating swing attack to fight enemies.
The Prince must still do high-risk acrobatics, but the ones in Warrior Within are more difficult to spot than in the previous game. The environment looks more blended, and it gets difficult to notice immediately where the Prince should go next.
One main mood that the game has in it is fear. When the Dahaka shows up, the player has no choice but to get away from it as quickly as possible. This doesn't give the player the luxury to look at the area to see where they should go next. They must rely on instincts and hope they have chosen the right path.
The player can still utilize time powers in Warrior Within. He can slow down time, rewind mistakes he has made and hasten the progression of a battle. New powers have also been added to the Prince's arsenal, as such time travel. Time travel is key when trying to solve puzzles.
Prince of Persia: Warrior Within is a great sequel. The story has evolved and the new aspects to the combat are a great addition. The only thing I think could have been better is the music, which is a bit of a step down from the previous game.

Jak 3
PS2
Jak 3 is the final installment of developer Naughty Dog's very successful Jak and Daxter series. Jak 3 contains many of the elements that made the series successful in the first place while only marginally improving the formula. By saying this I don't mean to say that Jak 3 is a bad game; its not.
After the end of Jak 2, Jak and Daxter, along with Pecker, their monkey/bird friend, are thrown out of Haven City into the harsh desert known as "The Wasteland." They get picked up by a group of people who have started a whole colony of outcasts from Haven City. From there, Jak must prove his worth by fighting enemies in the arena and completing dangerous missions outside the colony with the aid of a slew of off-road monstrosities.
This time around Jak is granted special "light Jak powers" by the Precursors (Precursors are the ancient race who had great technical prowess). With his light powers, Jak can slow time for all those around him to a crawl while he is able to move freely. Light-Jak flight is one of the coolest-looking things of the entire game. Jak's body glows and he sprouts tendril-like wings.
This part is where I had the most fun. You start out with one vehicle (the Power Wheels-esque Tough Puppy). Eventually you can work your way up to six different vehicles with different attributes. One of my favorites, the Dune Hopper, lets you charge up the shocks for incredible jumping power. Missions with these vehicles range from racing a group of Metal Heads, finding uncovered artifacts and corraling a group of desert lizards.
There are many secrets to be unlocked including weapon upgrades, vehicle
upgrades, invincibility, unlimited light/dark Jak powers and the untold story of the mysterious Precursors. If you're a fan of the series or enjoy action/platformers, play this game.

How my first screenplay summoned childhood wounds Robin Williams and the devil
Ext. Suburban Home - Day. A suburban housewife opens the front door. Two little blond girls, both cute as a button, hold out a cookie apiece on the porch. The housewife smiles and takes one of the cookies. The girls giggle as she chews. The woman's smile fades and her head explodes in a wave of strawberry jam, splattering the little girls as they continue to giggle.
So begins the macabre little story of The Realm, a 15-page screenplay I wrote in the fall of 2000. I was attending a small fine arts college in Miami. My screenwriting professor had written a film produced by Quentin Tarantino. He seemed intrigued by my idea.
In film school, you're taught to boil your movie idea down to a single sentence. Here was mine: It's like Dead Poets Society, except Robin Williams is the Devil. Neat, huh? My professor thought so.
The hero of The Realm, Byron Beauchamp, attends a private school for boys. Byron is unpopular. He writes freakish stories and draws freakish pictures, so the school counselor decides to put him in a class for troubled kids. All the boys in the class have an interest in horror writing. So does their instructor, the Robin Williams/Devil character.
Turns out Williams uses his class to spread evil in the world. The boys' horror stories come true, so the unfortunate happenings in the stories happen to real people. Ultimately Byron rebels and writes a piece to trap Williams in his own game. In the thrilling finale, a train mows down Williams mere moments after Byron leaps off the track to safety.
While sculpting this convoluted story down to a filmable form, I noticed how closely parts of Byron's story resembled my own. Who was this Byron Beauchamp character I had created?
In elementary school, I hung out with a close-knit group of friends. Except we weren't really friends, what we were was extremely cruel to one another - the kind
Was I Byron? Was he me?
of cruelty kids are capable of when they sense weakness. Bullies bullying each other – that was the group. On birthdays, the birthday boy would endure a series of taunts until finally he ran weeping into his house for the comfort of his mother's arms. Nothing was ever simply fun; a layer of meanness saturated everything. I became withdrawn from the group, even feigning sickness. Finally one afternoon I found myself confiding in one of them, two boys sitting in a living room talking like adults. Of course he ratted me out to the rest of the group, and I became something of an outcast.
The next few school years were difficult ones. My former "friends" spread vicious rumors about me; people smiled and pointed a lot. I inevitably I developed revenge fantasies in which I whipped the tar out of them in front of the whole school, and these fed my interests in writing. I recently opened a shoebox and reread some of the stories I wrote. Freakish stuff.
In the final draft of The Realm, I added a
new character, a little boy who follows Byron wherever he goes - an imaginary friend. The presence of this boy disturbs Byron; whenever he appears, Byron begins bleeding from his nose.
In film school, you're taught that the main character of your movie needs an arc, some sort of goal to achieve. Byron's goal is to get rid of this little boy. His writing exorciizes the demons that haunt him, ridding him of the experiences the little boy represents.
Now I think I'm Byron, and he's me, and we're both that little boy. Ext. Train Tracks - Night. The shadow of the train passes over Byron as he begins to lift himself off the gravel. A little hand reaches down to help him up. Byron takes it, then reaches into his pocket and pulls out a handkerchief. He puts it to his nose but sees there is no blood. The boy smiles at him and walks away. The handkerchief falls to the gravel, and, without looking back, the little boy disappears.

In the final draft of The Realm, I added a
new character, a little boy who follows Byron wherever he goes - an imaginary friend. The presence of this boy disturbs Byron; whenever he appears, Byron begins bleeding from his nose.
In film school, you're taught that the main character of your movie needs an arc, some sort of goal to achieve. Byron's goal is to get rid of this little boy. His writing exorcizes the demons that haunt him, ridding him of the experiences the little boy represents.
Now I think I'm Byron, and he's me, and we're both that little boy.
Ext. Train Tracks - Night. The shadow of the train passes over Byron as he begins to lift himself off the gravel. A little hand reaches down to help him up. Byron takes it, then reaches into his pocket and pulls out a handkerchief. He puts it to his nose but sees there is no blood. The boy smiles at him and walks away. The handkerchief falls to the gravel, and, without looking back, the little boy disappears.

SURVIVES: Self upset with performance
them almost five minutes to get on the scoreboard, and they didn't have any kind of spark until the 13-minute mark in the half.
CONTINUED FROM 1B
Senior guard Mike Lee came off of the bench to force back-to-back steals and five straight points by freshman Alex Galindo. Senior forward Wayne Simien played just three minutes in the first half because of two early foils, and Langford had just one point.
"If you would have said that our starters were only going to have four (combined) points at halftime, I would have said that we were in trouble," Self said
In trouble is where the Jayhawks found themselves, trailing at the half, 24-21.
For about the first five minutes of the second half, things got surprisingly better. Kansas opened the half with a 12-0 run that put them up 33-24.
"We had good energy, we pushed the ball, we rebounded, but that was the only highlight." Self said.

Kansas' momentum didn't stop Nebraska. They rattled off seven straight points and even had an opportunity to tie the game. But Nebraska forward Aleks Maric failed to hit a free throw that would have evened the game at 42.
If that surge by the Cornhuskers didn't get the Jayhawks fired up, the curious officiating certainly did. The officials called double technical fouls on Lee and Nebraska guard Joe McCray with about
"They made shots when they had to," Lee said.
"I if we rebounded like men,we would be a pretty good team."

five minutes left in the game. McCray kicked Lee in the gut after they both dove for a loose ball out of bounds. Lee said some choice words to McCray and the referee caught him talking. On the next two possessions, the official called touch fouls on Keith Langford, but when Langford was clocked in the face on the other end of the court, no foul was called. That sent Kansas fans into a frenzy of boos and expletives directed at the referees.
The lajhwarks traded baskets with the Huskers for the rest of the game but could have kept it out of the clutch if they would have made free throws in the games crucial minutes. Kansas shot just 2-7 from the charity stripe in the last three and a half minutes of the game.
"Anytime you come out and let another team have a shot to win the game in your house, that is bad." Lee said. "We have got to do some things better as a team."
Free-throw shooting should be on that list. But ask Self and he'll tell you the thing this team needs to improve on the most is rebounding.
"If we rebounded like men, we would be a pretty good team," he said.

RECRUITS: Fifteen recruits committed
in front of cameras or are not used to the interview process." Collins said.
Collins is in his second year at the University.
**
On the recruiting end, Kansas received 15 verbal commitments from high school seniors, including a commitment from www.rivals.com's top prospect in the state of Kansas, Kerry Meier.
Meier, a dual-threat quarterback from Pittsburg, is a three-star recruit, according to www.rivals.com. Meier passed for nearly 1,000 yards and nine touchdowns this season. He also was the team's second leading rusher with 654 yards.
Meier is the brother of current Kansas State quarterback Dylan Meier. Meier
received offers from Kansas State, Texas A&M, The University of Texas El Paso, Tulsa and Texas Christian University.
"He had some wonderful choices, to ponder, I think it was a very difficult process," Pittsburg High coach Merle Clark said. "Really, all those offers were on the table as early as last spring. He gave it some careful deliberation, and I think he made a good choice.
The 6-foot-4, 209 pound, senior was not just the team's quarterback but he also played on the defensive side, intercepting three passes.
Meier also served as the teams place-kicker and punter.
All commitments will become binding on Feb. 1, national signing day.

Sophomore guard J.R. Giddens evades Nebraska's freshman guard, Joe McCray, during last night's game in Allen Fieldhouse. The game ended in a close Jayhawk victory, 59-57.
JEERING: Boos don't stop McCray's scoring CONTINUED FROM 1B
Despite the negative attention from Jayhawk fans, McCray turned in one of the finest games of his young college basketball career and seemed to play his best basketball when he received the most taunting.
"It's not so much that he responded to the crowd as much as it was a big game," Nebraska coach Barry Collier said. "He wants to be in it and I think he played well."
He played 35 minutes, scored 19 points, pulled down seven rebounds, and if it weren't for a late three-point attempt rattling in and out, he may have helped Nebraska pull one of the greatest upsets in the program's history.
"I think we did a good job on him, and he got 19," said Kansas coach Bill Self. "He's certainly going to be one of the best scorers in our league for the next four years."
It's hard to disagree with Self, as McCray looked more like a seasoned veteran in yesterday's match-up than a true freshman. McCray has been the catalyst for the Cornhuskers all season long as he is the team's leading scorer and averages 15.2 points a game.
Kansas fans will get another opportunity to ridicule McCray on Feb. 5 in Lincoln, Neb., but when asked if he would place any special emphasis on that game, like Harrison used to, McCray said he would not.
"I'm just trying to go game by game and win some. If we play with a high intensity, that will be it."

Ice causes messy pile-up
Cars parked in Alumni Place lot collide after ice forms on pavement
Seven cars were discovered compacted in the Alumni Place parking lot behind The Wheel Pizza Company, 507 W. 14th St. The KU Parking Department blocked off an area of spaces on the south side of the parking lot. Ice had formed on the pavement after water dripped from pipes at a nearby apartment complex.

The Alumni Place parking lot looked like a miniature demolition derby arena yesterday morning.
Seven cars were found compacted into each other on an icy incline on the south side of the lot, which is located south of The Wheel Pizza Company, 507 W.14th St.
The pipe was connected to drainage pipes from the apartments and a device in the ground.
Water was trickling into the parking lot yesterday morning from a pipe behind Kinney Coach apartments, 1430 Louisiana St., which was west of the collision.
Warren Zimmerman, owner of Kinney Coach apartments, was unavailable for comment.
David Gage, owner of Gage Management Services and Emery Place Apartments, said that water had flowed downhill from the University of Kansas campus. Emery Place Apartments is directly east of Kinney Coach apartments.

KU service to lay off employees

KANKSAN STAFF WRITER
University of Kansas officials will close KU Printing Services this spring after several years of dwindling business. An exact closing date has not been determined.
Changes in printing technology, primarily through the wide use of electronic printing, have affected the service's profits, said Marilu Goodyear, vice provost for information services.
KU Printing Services prints forms and documents for the University's Lawrence campus. The business made $2.5 million in printing jobs last year, a decrease of $500 thousand from three years ago, Goodyear said.
Unfortunately the decision means University employees will lose their jobs. The University has downsized the printing services from 40 employees three years ago to 20.
"My staff is pretty disappointed," Dennis Smith, print shop manager, said. "They feel like they've been let down by the University. They feel like they did all this for nothing."
Smith said the department of human resources had worked with his employees, but it could be difficult for

The Board of Regents presented these deferred maintenance problems to the Legislative last October.
The six Kansas state universities have $584 million of maintenance problems, ranging from cracked sidewalks to collapsed ceilings.

Murphy Hall, located north of Allen Fieldhouse, has gaps between the windows and the brick on the building's exterior. He said if those problems weren't fixed, brick could start falling from the building.
"I relate the problems we have to having a 20-year-old furnace in your basement at home," Modig said. "It might look fine from the outside, but on the inside there could be bad pipes causing it to fail."

The wooden deck behind Quinton's Bar & Deli is gone. It has been a popular Lawrence hangout for more than ten years, owner Steve Gaudreau said.
Because of the smoking ban, Gaudreau said, thins needed to change.
A two-level, enclosed concrete smoking deck will be built behind the bar to accommodate smoking customers.
The renovations at Quinton's, 615 Massachusetts St., are part of a common trend among local businesses to attract clientele.
The smoking ban has forced other bars to come up with creative ideas for patios and decks.
Kaspar's Bar and Grill, 5115 W. 6th St., roped off a segment in front of the establishment to create a patio. The space is not as expansive as some of the bars downtown, but Kaspar's strip mall location leaves few alternatives.
Louise's Bar Downtown, 1009 Massachusetts St., erected a new deck last summer.

KU students respond quickly to seizure in Kansas Union
Paramedics responded to a KU student having a seizure in the Kansas Union about 11 a.m. yesterday, said Lisa Kring, Kansas Union conference coordinator.
The KU Public Safety Office and Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical arrived at the scene around 11:00 yesterday morning and transported the student to Lawrence Memorial Hospital, Kring said.
She also said that the student was conscious when the paramedics arrived.
"I could still tell that he was a little bit shaken-up, though," Kring said.
Kring said she was impressed with the six or seven students who witnessed the incident and immediately called for help.

FUNDS: Regents don't foresee quick fix to problems
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Center, the total amount of money needed for repairs has reached $237 million. Boatright said.
As the Legislature meets, Boatright said it was important that the public and students at the University realize the future impacts of ignoring deferred maintenance.
The six state universities currently spend about $10 million each year on maintenance through the Educational Building Fund.
When Chancellor Hemenway made his presentation to the Regents last June, he proposed that given the size and age of the facilities, $74 million should be invested.
That same figure was proposed when the Regents gave updates to the Legislature in October. No formal proposal has been made yet, and the Regents do not expect an immediate solution.

Bicycles will be given away to children of Stouffer Place apartments during a winter party Saturday at the Burge Union. Mark Kalusha, Lawrence junior and president of the Stouffer Neighborhood Association, said he was surprised the association could obtain such nice bicycles for the children.
Winter party raffle to give away bikes

Stouffer Place Apartments, campus housing for married students, will give away 10 bicycles to residents' children during a winter party tomorrow.
The winter party will take place at 1 p.m. in the Relays Room of the Burge Union and the bike giveaway is scheduled for 3 p.m.
The Lansing Correctional Facility helped refurbish the bicycles for children of Stouffer Place residents, a first in the winter party's eight-year history. Last summer, Student Housing donated 200 abandoned bicycles to the Lansing recycling program.
"This is an opportunity to really give back to the community," said Eric Grospitch, adviser to the Stouffer Neighborhood Association. "On the 22nd, we're going to have 10 kids walk away with a bike who most likely have not ever owned one in their lives."
Zhiming Dai, graduate student from China, is a resident of Stoufler Place and the treasurer of the Stoufler Neighborhood Association. Dai said the event
cost about $800 and that he expected 100 people to attend.
"Many of us are from different countries, so I would like to get to know as many people as possible." Dai said.
The winter party will feature a variety of carnival-style games for the children, including radio-controlled car racing. Coffee, hot chocolate, juice, cookies and ice cream will be served.
Mark Kalusha, president of the Stouffe Neighborhood Association, said that 54 children live at Stouffer Place Apartments. Kalusha, Bronx, N.Y., junior, said he passed around a flyer for the event to the 286 units of Stouffer Place Apartments. Residents were advised to fill out and return a form indicating how many children they have and whether they own a bicycle. Kalusha will hold a raffle with the returned forms to see who receives the bicycles at the winter party.
"We are a very busy community in the sense that most of us have families and are also working and studying," Kalusha said. "This is an opportunity for us to come together and meet each other's kids."

Aside from noticing his name at the bottom of a political cartoon in the University Daily Kansan, many people didn't know that Connor Meigs, a hockey player for the University of Kansas' club team, was an accomplished artist. He won numerous awards throughout his 19 years, many of which he kept private.

Connor and his twin brother, Doug, a student at the University of Missouri, were driving to their grandmother's house on Dec. 20 to play board games with their family when their car slid on black ice into a pickup truck just miles from their home.
Both brothers were brought to

"He was a very creative artist," said his mother, Linda Meigs. "He was full of potential and promise."
John Hachmeister, professor of art, said it was the deep feeling that Meigs put in his work and his willingness to help students that set him apart from the rest.

"He is already deeply missed," Hachmeister said. "Not just by faculty, but by the students as well."
He was also an avid reader. He read about environmental
art and architecture. He left behind numerous notebooks filled with his thoughts about art.
"There was a literary side to him that I never knew," his mother said.
In his death, Meigs saved seven others' lives. Meigs was an organ donor and donated both of his kidneys, his liver, pancreas, heart valves, tissue recovery, long bone and cornea.
Linda Meigs said her son's art would be displayed at the Florence Mill this summer from June 1 through Aug. 31. The exhibit will be open Tuesdays through Sundays from 1 to 5 p.m. at 9102 N. 30th St. in Omaha, Neb.
The historical mill, which Meigs helped restore since he was 14, will be named the Connor Meigs Memorial Gallery.
Meigs is survived by his father John Meigs; mother, Linda Meigs; twin brother, Doug Meigs; brother, Brandon Meigs of Chicago; and sister Katherine Meigs of Tempe, Ariz.
A service and celebration of his life was held in his honor on Dec. 29 at Central Presbyterian Church in Omaha, Neb.

Professor loses battle with cancer
BY JOSHUA BICKEL
jbicket@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Andrew Debicki, professor of Spanish and Portuguese, died yesterday after a battle with cancer that lasted almost two years. He was 70.
Colleagues who knew him will remember him as a tremendous scholar who never let others, or himself, dwell on his disease. He remained dedicated to his work and the University, said Danny Anderson, chairman of the department of Spanish and Portuguese.
"He always liked to know what was going on and was very involved in university life," Anderson said.
Patricia Manning, professor of Spanish and Portuguese, met
Debicki four years ago when she first came to the University of Kansas. Debicki, a well-known professor, befriended her almost immediately. For the past few years, Debicki has been her role model.
"He was a tremendous mentor," Manning said. "He had literally read everything I've ever written."
A teacher and scholar until his death, Debicki often guest lectured for western civilization and Spanish classes while fighting cancer.
His colleagues also said that he was very supportive of everyone he worked with and always went out of his way to help new faculty members, especially young professors.
Diana Carlin, dean of the Graduate School, said that
Debicki helped her prepare for her job when she was first hired and that he was the first to call and congratulate her when she became dean. She said he set the standard for her and personified everything good about a teacher.
"He was always instructive and anything he said always made an impression," Carlin said.
He also remained an enthusiastic fan of KU basketball and didn't let his disease stop him from attending the Jan. 5 basketball game at Kentucky or watching last Saturday's match-up with Colorado on TV with a friend.
services are scheduled for 10 a.m. Saturday at St. Lawrence
A rosary is scheduled for 7 p.m. at Warren-MeElwain Mortuary, 120 W. 13th St, followed by visitation until 8:30 p.m.
Catholic Center, 1631 Crescent Road. The family suggests memorials to the KU Endowment Association for the St. Lawrence Catholic Center or to the Andrew P and Mary-Elizabeth Debicki Graduate Fellowship. It may be sent in care of the mortuary.
Debicki is survived by Mary-Elizabeth Debicki, wife, of Lawrence; two daughters, Mary Beth of Whitewater, Kan., Margaret Cooney of S. Pasadena, Calif.; two stepdaughters, Melissa Pedron of Elizabethtown, Ky., Betsy Burrus of Nashville, Tenn.; two stepsons, Michael Gwin of Jackson, Miss., Christopher Gwin of Atlanta; a brother, Father John P.

Students have opportunity to help out in tsunami relief
Every year it seems the post-holiday mood in this country is one of distress and despair. Not only are people deeper in debt than they were three months ago, they are also wider in the waist. This mood took a turn for the worse as the images from Southeast Asia poured in over the television
Opening the checkbook was the first response of many — a responsible one that received much media and political attention.
but no one talked about how satisfying or fulfilling it was to give these gifts. Witnessing the smile on a sibling's face after opening a gift is one of the warmest feelings you can have in life.
warmest feelings you can have in the world. Working to be a part of this relief effort halfway around the world has the same effect. As the unbelievable pictures and horrendous stories sank in, it became clear how important compassion is in today's globalized world
According to the American Red Cross, benevolent Americans have contributed almost $194 million directly to the organization and nearly $400 million total to other relief organizations since the Dec. 26, 2004 tsunami.
While this ongoing effort by individual Americans and relief organizations is commendable, what responsibility does the student body have in this effort?
Students currently find themselves working through new semester schedules and worrying about books or whether they will have enough money to go out this weekend.
Belonging to a large and powerful community such as the University of Kansas and living in a globalized world brings new responsibilities. Students are likely to meet someone from Southeast Asia on campus - students from India, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand.
Those who have been directly affected by the tsunami's destruction are closer than we might realize. This is why the student body's response must be large and powerful.
Monetary contributions to international relief organizations are the most powerful tool in executing this response. The best way to contribute is to visit www.usaid.gov or to contact the Douglas County chapter of the American Red Cross. Simply writing a check or wiring money should only be the beginning.
U. N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan hit the mark on Jan. 6 when he said, "What happened on Dec. 26, 2004, was an unprecedented global catastrophe. It requires an unprecedented global response."
This response must begin on the grass-roots level at the University in student organizations.
organizations. As organizational and chapter meetings begin the next week, whatever their original purpose, I challenge their leaders and members to find unique ways to help.
It could be easy to forget that hundreds of thousands of Asians are without clean drinking water as you and your friends go out this weekend.
Trying to find something positive and uplifting about the deaths of more than 226,000 people is like trying to find a needle in a haystack.
Remembering that even one person has the power to make hundreds of people smile in regions of total dismay gives the world hope in a time of despair.

Bush's inauguration forgets victims
AUSTIN, YEAH BABY!
Greed, corruption, stupidity. I find it sad that these are the first words that come to mind when I describe the president of my country.
Yesterday America once again inaugurated President George W. Bush, a tradition that started with another George W. — Washington that is — in 1789 The New York Times reported earlier this week that Bush's inaugural committee received almost $40 million in donations for the festivities. Taking the tragedy overseas into account, there were better ways to spend this money.
AUSTEN, YEAH BABY.
A tsunami struck coastlines from Southeast Asia to Africa on Dec. 26 killing more than 226,000 people. It caused billions of dollars in damage. Bush didn't respond immediately because he was hard at work being president. Where was he? At his ranch in Crawford, Texas.
Bush should have given up his inauguration festivities and sent the money to the more worthy cause.
The United States donated $350 million to the tsunami victims. Bush encouraged private donors to send more but said he had no plans to increase America's donation. Unfortunately, our nation seems greedy when countries such as Germany donate $663 million. Australia donated $764 million. Even Japan's $500 million makes our donation look paltry.
AUSTIN CASTER
acaster@kansan.com
In 2001, more than 20,000 Americans protested Bush's inugura-
tion. Protesters threw bottles, tomatoes and even eggs at Bush's motorcade. According to The Associated Press, there hadn't been a crowd of protesters that large since Nixon's 1973 inauguration at the height of the Vietnam War.
Bush's inauguration committee said all donations for the festivities came from private donors. The Associated Press reported that corporations such as AT&T, Bank of America and the United Parcel Service donated and pharmaceutical company Bristol-Myers Squibb donated $250,000 each. Other corporations such as Pepsi-Cola, Tyson Foods and the Goldman-Sachs Group donated $100,000 each. The New York Times reported that two-thirds, or about $25 million, came from major companies.
This is where the corruption takes place. I can understand why corporations would want to be on Bush's good side. According to The New York Times, many of these companies are regulated by the government and spend millions of dollars each year to influence Congress' and the president's decisions. During his first term, Bush awarded Halliburton, the company from which Dick Cheney retired, a nobid contract. That means no other company could compete for the business.
After the inauguration, Bush and his corporate sponsors partied as people in Sri Lanka, Indonesia and Thailand mourned their dead and worked to rebuild their lives. People reported that Oscar de la Renta designed a dress for Laura Bush that would "get her through 10 balls." How humanitarian of her to wear the same dress to all 10 balls.
Bush's corporate sponsors should want Southeast Asia up and running, so they don't have to resort to hiring Americans. Workers in factories overseas make items such as Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen's Wal-Mart clothing line because labor laws are not as strict, US Weekly reported. Discount stores claim the process is more economic and the reason why they can offer cheaper prices. Unfortunately when these corporations send jobs overseas, Americans lose their jobs.
The only part of the inauguration I looked forward to was hearing "Bushisms" such as "transhipment" and "nacular." I wonder which one of his misprunciations "Saturday Night Live" will make fun of this weekend.

Humans too reliant on electricity
COMMENTARY
In a college home, we are surrounded by devices to entertain us. We have radios, computers, TVs and video games. Good or bad, we have lots of things to keep us busy, and these things all need electricity to work.
On the night of Jan. 4, an ice storm knocked the power out for several hours in parts of Lawrence. Suddenly, devices we took for granted couldn't entertain us anymore.
---
JOHN JORDAN
opinion@kansan.com
The storm flaunted one of our weaknesses: We rely on things rather than ourselves to keep us occupied.
But these devices are unnecessary. We don't need to get recreation from gadgets. A power outage is not the end of the world. During the storm, two options presented themselves: Stay in the house and find something to do, or leave.
After eating dinner, we were getting, ready to watch what was supposed to be "The Best Bowl Game Ever" and wham, all the lights went out. We lit candles and got out flashlights. After 15 minutes, one roommate left and went to some place that had power.
Here's what happened to my roommates and me that night:
Then we found a way to cheat. Another roommate had a PowerBook, so we watched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind on it. At first, I admit, I felt guilty about this, because I thought we'd be able to occupy ourselves with each other's company. But the intimacy of our house, sitting huddled and uncomfortable around the glow of the computer, made the movie seem different, and added some humanity to the machine.
After finishing the movie, we settled back into our dark house. The temperature dropped considerably inside. We had nothing to do, and no one wanted to sleep.
After talking, arguing and joking,
one roommate decided to read a scary
story from a book. He read two sentences
and quit. Maybe we can think of
our own story instead, we decided.
This is something that only happens if you
have no power. It's great.
We told some stories about bludgeoned campers, talked about scary movies and books, and then came up with an original story. We killed an hour conversing. We didn't have TV, computers, lights, heat, yet one hour flew by.
While I was lying in bed and thinking about how cold it would get, I saw my alarm clock turn on and flash "12:00." The power was back on.
Then we noticed that the power company had a truck working on the power lines on our block.
That night we all had a good time. Instead of watching TV or going out, we stayed in and talked. It was quiet, dark and peaceful. We were able to escape the distractions of all — or at
Around 11 p.m. we traded off flashlights to brush our teeth, and headed to bed.
least most of — our electric gadgets for a night and keep ourselves entertained.
But others such as Meghan Kinley, Plainsfield, Ill., junior, and her roommate took the easy way out.
After returning to a dark street from eating out, Kinley and her roommate filled their home with candles. Kinley said that without power for the TV or computer, they were too bored to stick around their apartment.
"The only thing we had was our cell phones." Kinley said. So after half an hour, they called a friend and headed to a fully powered house.
Many students would have done the exact same thing.
A 2002 study by Harris Interactive found that 88 percent of college students own a computer.
An Internet magazine, Student Affairs On-Line, reported last year that nearly 80 percent of college students have cell phones. They're an indispensable part of college life. Yet somehow, students in the past managed to get through school without them.
Television sets lie in most college homes and on every dorm floor.
The ubiquity of technology in our lives can make a day without it can seem like a crisis. Students can't occupy themselves without something to play with or watch.
But somehow when the power went out, my roommates and I managed to have a good night. Unfortunately, it took a power outage for us to get away from our stuff.

The Spencer Museum of Art didn't have to go far to find its new director.
Saralyn Reece Hardy, director and curator of the Salina Art Center, will take over the position March 14. The art museum named her director Dec. 16.
Hardy will replace interim director Frederick Pawliki. According to an article in last August's University Daily Kansan, the previous director, Andrea Norris, was fired March 2.

According to the Salina Art Center Web site, www.salinaartcenter.org, the gallery grew from a seasonal, volunteer-run gallery when it opened in 1978 to a year-round gallery with national and international exhibits that attract more than 40,000 visitors yearly.
"I see Saralyn as a visionary," said Carolyn Chinn Lewis, assistant director of the Spencer museum. "Her enthusiasm and ability to move the museum forward is exciting to all of us."
Hardy was a special project coordinator at the Spencer museum from 1977 to 1979. She earned her bachelor's degree in integrated arts from the University in 1976 and a master's degree in American studies in 1994.

"I must say I am very excited to interact with students
because of the amazing mix of student population," Hardy said. "Students guide and energize the Spencer museum."
This event is being put together with help from the museum's student advisory board.
The advisory board, which was launched last fall, focuses on increasing student involvement and input on museum events and programs, said Kristina Mitchell, education curator for the museum.

"The advisory board will have a larger role," Andriessen, Sioux City, Iowa, freshman, said. "We're going to try to make it more student friendly. We want to make it more open to many students."
Rula Andriessen, advisory
During the first few months as director of the museum, Hardy will take into consideration what the student body needs and wants from the museum. No specific changes have been planned.
"I'm hoping to go in as kind of a cartographer," she said. "I want to listen for specific opportunities there. I take my cues from the place itself. I hope to have a number of interviews with students."

"The ice gets to be three inches thick in the winter," Gage said of the Emery Place parking lot.
The University fixed the problem five years ago, but the leaks began again in November, he said.
To keep icy areas safe, the Parking Department puts sand on icy areas by request or complaint, said Shima Ortiz, KU parking field student supervisor.
"We're doing our best to sand the ice," said Jamie Nishimura,
Mililani, Hawaii, sophomore and KU Parking Department worker. "We might rope off that area."
Ortiz called students whose cars were involved in the accident as well as two other students who parked near the accident and were in danger of sliding.
The KU Public Safety Office and the KU Parking Department worked beginning about 10:30 a.m. to remove the cars from the icy area. The area was blocked off later that afternoon.
No one was injured in the pile-up.

The price tag for the new deck is around $160,000.
Renovations to the deck itself are not the only expenditures for the bar. The heaters alone will cost $4,000 apiece.
Some anti-smoking ban residents tried to petition Lawrence's city commission to put the ban on the November ballot. Because too few signatures were raised, the ban will remain uncontested.

Student playwrights showcase works at competition
By NEIL MULKA
nmuluka@kansan.com
KANSAN STAR WRITER
Members of the Two Crow family come to terms with their past, and each other, in an Indian Health Service hospital waiting room. Their arguments, confessions and reconciliations echo off the pea soup-colored walls and the cracked linoleum floor as a family member dies.
These families and their struggles are the focus of two plays, Weaving the Rain and The Option, written by KU students Dianne Yeaquho Reyner, Meers, Okla., graduate student, and Libby Dean, Bucyrus senior.
Another family, a mother and her teenage son, have "the talk" over dinner. It's their first conversation since the son's father died four months ago.

Both plays are competing in
Yeaquho Reyner, member of the Kiowa Nations, said Weaving the Rain was a full-length play that examined how the family's personal choices, history and U.S. policies contributed to its dysfunction.
"I didn't try to make it about 'look at all the bad things the white people have done to us,'" Yeahquo Reyner said. "I wanted to tell a story that Native and non-Native audiences can understand: that there's still hope for families."
Dean, Bucyrus senior, said her play got a staged reading, a performance where actors perform with a copy of the script in hand.
Weaving the Rain performed yesterday at the St. Louis competition. It competed against five full-length plays at the national level.
She said it was the first time her play had been performed.
If Yeahquo Reyner's play wins the national competition, her script will be published, and she will receive a paid workshop at the Sundance Institute, a foundation dedicated to artistic development.
Dean's play, The Option, is a one-act, 10-minute play that shows a mother and son rekindling their relationship.
In this comedy the mother tries to relate to her football-playing son by explaining sex to him using football metaphors.
“In the beginning they answer each other with one-word answers,” Dean said. “It's the first time they try to reach out to each other.”

Dean's play is in the Region V 10-Minute Play division with five other plays in the competition. Region V includes Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota.
If Dean's play wins the regional competition, it will be invited to compete nationally in Washington D.C. in April.

A woman in a light dress sits on a bench, holding a baby in her lap. The baby is kneeling on the ground, looking up at the woman with an expression of care and affection. The background is a plain wall with a table and plant pots.
Both plays were written in Paul Lim's playwriting classes. Lim, a KU English professor and a judge for last year's contest, entered the scripts into the competition.
"If you have class of 15 you know what ones are worth nurturing," Lim said, "I am very proud of both of the playwrights."

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
Showdown nears
BY PAUL BRAND AND BJ RAINS

KANSAN SPORTWRITERS
www.kansan.com
In a bitter rivalry where both teams are riding four-game losing streaks, something has to give.
For Kansas, 7-8 (0-4 Big 12), the end result of Saturday's game against Missouri could be the Kansas Women's basketball team first Big 12 Conference victory. The home contest against the Tigers, 7-9 (1-4), at 7 p.m. tonight seems to be the most promising chance yet for the Jayhawks to
snare that elusive victory.
The rivalry against the Tigers should bring an emotional factor to a Kansas team that is coming off a stinging loss at Texas A&M.
Had the Jayhawks avoided that tough road defeat, the victory would have boosted the confidence of a Kansas team that now holds a 1-4 record in road games. Instead of riding a wave of confidence into the Border Showdown, the question remains how the Jayhawks will respond to back-to-back thrillers.

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — When Mario Chalmers looked across the court during the Bass Pro Tournament of Champions, a high school basketball event, he may have been confused.
Sharing the spotlight in the tournament were Poplar Bluff High forward Tyler Hansbrough and Memphis White Station guard J.P. Prince, two players he didn't figure to face until next season. Chalmers has signed a national
letter of intent to play for the University of Kansas, while the other two have also signed to play for top basketball programs.
Hansbrough, the No. 2 player in this year's class according to rivals.com, has signed to play for the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and former Kansas coach Roy Williams.
The 6-foot-2 Chalmers traveled with his Anchorage, Alaska, high school team, the Bartlett Golden Bears, to compete last weekend. Sell-out crowds of more than 8,300 watched each day's action.
Prince, one of this year's top guards, has signed to play for the University of Arizona and coach Lute Olsen.
"I have a feeling that we will be meeting up again in college someday," Chalmers said. "Hopefully it will be in the Final Four."
In last Friday's first-round game, Chalmers and Hansbrough put on a show. Though Chalmers' game was impressive, Hansbrough turned in the play of the game with a reverse-360 slam dunk in the second quarter.

Three seniors head for Hawaii

The game will be broadcast on ESPN starting at 6 p.m. tomorrow.
Seniors Joe Vaughn, David McMillan and Brandon Rideau will be participating in the 59th annual Hula Bowl in Maui, Hawaii. The game showcases top seniors. The last Jayhawk in the game was Isaac Bvrd. who played in 1996.

McMilian was dominant part of the defensive line as a defensive end during his senior season. He led the team with seven sacks. During McMillan's career he accumulated 15

The three will play for the West team, which is being coached by Oregon's Mike Bellotti and Georgia's Mark Richt. Many other players from the Big 12 Conference will also be participating, including Texas Tech senior quarterback Sunny Cumbie.
The players were selected to participate in the game by a committee of five former coaches who are members of the American Football Coaches Association.

Jayhawks continually show grit, resilience
I don't know about you, but I wasn't worried Wednesday night when the Nebraska men's basketball team led Kansas by three at the break.
Maybe even more impressive than the Jayhawks' undefeated start is their propensity to win games where they've trailed with less than five minutes to go - games that include marquee matchups with top-rated opponents Kentucky and Georgia Tech.
And even when the Cornhuskers stuck with the Jayhawks in the second half and senior Nebraska guard Corey Simms had an opportunity to win the game in the closing seconds with a three-pointer, I didn't break a sweat. I knew Simms' shot was going to rim out and that Kansas was going to improve to 14-0. This team just finds ways to win when games are on the line.
That's a far cry from last year when Kansas was winless in such games. Richmond comes to mind, when the Jayhawks were unable to hold onto a four-point lead against the Spiders at Allen Fieldhouse with about a minute to go. Bad memories also surface the Elite Eight game against Georgia Tech, when Kansas made a miraculous comeback to push the game into overtime, only to fall short in the end.
Just ask Kentucky, which battled back from an eight-point deficit on its home court to take a one-point lead over Kansas late in the second half, only to have the game stolen away for good when senior guard Aaron Miles calmly drove the lane on Kansas' next possession and nailed a scoop layup, oblivious to the 24,000 fans willing against him.
Yes, this year's team is different, and resiliency is its hallmark.
Or, even better, ask the Yellow Jackets, who could not have looked any more in-control of a game when it used its attacking defense to jump out to a 16-point lead over the scrambling Jayhawks at Allen Fieldhouse on New Year's Day. Georgia Tech's early effort was for naught: Kansas won in overtime, 70-68, after senior guard Keith Langford's stone cold turnaround jumper.
This season has seen close game after close game for Kansas, causing some pundits to question the team's dominance compared to ESPN favorites North Carolina and Illinois. But it's hard to argue with a 14-0 record, especially when it's achieved while playing the Ratings Percentage Indexes' toughest schedule in the nation. It's also hard to argue with a team that has so many players capable of stepping up in crucial moments.

Weekend's Triangular meet to measure team's progress
The KU/KSU/MU Triangular track meet this weekend will give the Kansas track teams an early barometer of how they fare against other schools in the Big 12 Conference.
At the meet last year, the Kansas men's 4x400 meter 'A team placed first with an overall time of 3:14.06.
Although the men's track roster has forgone significant changes from last season, competition has forced team members to fill in the voids before this year's triangular meet, which begins today.
Jeremy Mims, Iowa City, Iowa, senior, will lead the relay team today in Manhattan.
"I think we will do pretty well at the meet," Mims said. "Young guys are starting to figure out what they need to in order to compete."
in order to follow Mims will be followed by sophomore Mark Gdowski, freshman Julius Jiles and freshman Matt Baysinger. Mims said the competition increased weekly in order to fill the four spots on the 'A team.
"The new guys, the freshmen and transfers, force the other people to step up because they don't want to lose their spot," he said.
Last year, Kansas State won the Triangular meet and proceeded to place second in the Big 12 Conference Indoor Championships. Kansas placed ninth and Missouri placed last. This meet will determine the amount of progress they have made from last season. If Kansas scores closer to Kansas State overall and far above Missouri's scores, it could indicate improvement.
"We are in pretty good shape and I think we are headed in the right direction," coach Stanley Redwine said.
Kansas will also have a chance to gain a lead on Missouri in the Border Showdown.
"It's a big meet, especially between conference rivals. Its about bragging rights," Mims said.

The NCAA Board of Directors is considering a plan to make uniform schedule start dates for Division I baseball.

The change is proposed to even the competition between cold-weather programs, such as Kansas', and warm-weather programs, such as Texas'.
and warn weather programs no earlier than Feb. 1 and games about March 1, according to the proposal presented at the NCAA convention in Grapevine, Texas. If the proposal were approved, it would take effect in 2007 and with the support of most coaches in the nation, said Kansas coach Ritch Price.
Despite the momentum that the proposal has gained among coaches, Kansas senior associate athletics director Larry Keating does not believe that it will pass.
"Any time they back up the season, it will be advantageous to cold-weather schools," Price said. "I think it will also increase the attendance for those schools, including Kansas."
One such issue is the length of the season. Under the new plan, the playoffs would be pushed back about two weeks and the College World Series would extend into July. This would cause financial problems for some schools
"I think it is too early in the legislative process," Keating said. "This is the first effort that has gotten this far, but I don't think it is written correctly. There are too many issues to deal with."
because they would have to house players well after the spring semester had finished.
Some have proposed cutting the length of the season to offset the late start, but that is something that Price said he did not want to see happen.
"As a baseball guy, I can't support cutting games," he said. "Reducing the season reduces the opportunity for kids to compete and advance their skills."
Price said he hoped the rule change would ultimately lead to better competition and better baseball throughout the country.
"Anytime you can improve the weather situation, you will increase the quality of baseball and the game will prosper," he said.

Villanova's Wildcats came close to knocking off one of the nation's four unbeaten men's college basketball teams Wednesday night.
They fell just short in their 67-66 loss to Boston College, but they'll get another crack at one of college basketball's perfect records on Saturday.
After barely surviving the Nebraska Cornhuskers, the Kansas men's basketball team will bring their undefeated record to Villanova. The last time a队 did that, West Virginia left its undefeated record in Philadelphia.
"Villanova is a team that is capable of beating anybody, anywhere, especially on their home court," Kansas coach Bill Self
The Jahawks' ugly performance at home against Nebraska earned them an extra long practice session yesterday. They also spent some time watching film of Villanova's nail-biter against Boston College.
said.
Villanova led Boston College by six points with two minutes left in the game. But BC had the home-court advantage and held the Wildcats scoreless for the final minute and a half of the game. Villanova currently sits at seventh in the Big East Conference with 10-4 record and a 2-3 conference record.
The Wildcats are led by their backcourt guards Randy Foye, Mike Nardi and Allan Ray. The three are combining for almost 30 points per game.
Like the Jayhawks, who played
four games without senior forward Wayne Simien, the Wildcats have suffered from some injuries of their own.
Star forward Curtis Sumpt missed two games with a sprained right knee. The Brooklyn junior was second on the team in scoring, averaging just more than 16 points per game. He has, however, played in the Wildcats' last two games.
Villanova will also play without power forward Jason Fraser, who has sat out the Wildcats' last two games with a fractured right hand. Forward Will Sheridan will start in his place.
Coming off of what he called "our weakest performance of the season," Self said the Jayhawks have to be mentally ready for a tough road game.
"We are excited to play Villanova," he said. "We will have

to go into that game with a better approach," Self said.
Basketball notes:
Junior forward Christian Moody has been nursing a sprained ankle since the Jayhawks Jan. 15 game against Kentucky. He didn't play in the Jayhawks' game against Iowa State and saw minimal time against Colorado. Freshman C.J. Giles started in his place the last three games, but Moody is expected to return to the starting line-up Saturday. He started the second half of Wednesday's game in place of Giles who did not return to the game.

KU pole vaulter breaks state record
BY PATRICK SHEHAN
pshehan@kansan.com
KANSAN SWITTERWRIER
Ekaterina Sultanova set the Kansas record for women's pole vaulting last Friday at the Arkansas Invitational. Her effort of 13 feet 7.25 inches merited first place at the meet. She finished ahead of teammate Amy Linnen, who placed second in the meet with 12 feet 11.5 inches. The record-setting jump came in Sultanova's second collegiate meet.
"Ekaterina is a great story," Kansas coach Stanley Wredwine said of the Krasnodar, Russia, freshman. "She is a great competitor and she has a very bright future."
I am a teacher in the primary school. I have been teaching for 10 years and I love to teach children. I enjoy working with them and helping them learn. I am a friendly and caring teacher who is always willing to help students with any difficulties they may face.
Combined with contributions from Linnen and Libby Harmon, Sultanova adds much depth to an already stellar pole vaulting.
team. Sultanova broke the previous record of 13 feet 1.75 inches set by Andrea Branson in 2000.
SULTANOVA
"I're really exciting," Sultanano said after breaking of the record. "But I want to jump higher. I want to clear 14."
vault at the Russian Championships by jumping 13 feet 1.5 inches.She said she noticed differences in the training methods in Russia and the United States.
She placed second in the pole
She said increases in weight training and longevity of the running drills were the main differences between the two countries.
"The training is much harder here than Russia," she said.
Freshman runner Matt Baysinger said he tried to communicate with her by using an Internet translation site.
Sultanova, who was once ranked 19th-best pole vaulter in Russia, had to adjust to competitions in a foreign country.
"The people and the culture is the main difference," she said.
"She didn't know any English when she got here so I tried typing in expressions and translating them to Russian. It was great for both of us to get over the language barrier," he said.
The combination of training regimens and influence from more experienced jumpers, Sultanova might break national records as well. Linnen holds the national record of 14 feet 10.25 inches.
"The more experienced girls, like Amy push me to become a better pole-vaulter," Sultanova said.

COLUMN: 'Hawks showed strength many times WOMEN: Coaches, players ready for Showdown
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Examples abound.
Junior forward Christian Moody, already vastly improved from seasons past, showed he could perform when it mattered when he led the team with 11 points and grabbed seven rebounds against Kentucky, earning player-of-the-game honors. Freshman forward C.J. Giles also played probably his best game to date against the Wildcats, hitting all five of his shot attempts and recording six rebounds even though foul trouble limited him to only 17 minutes of playing time.
Freshman Alex Galindo went from junk time to clock time. It
was his guarded three in overtime against Georgia Tech that cut into what was then a fourpoint lead for the Yellow Jackets. In the following game against Texas A&M, it was Galindo, with another three-pointer, who broke a tie with the Aggies with less than a minute to go.
And, of course, there are always the stalwarts: Langford, Miles, senior forward Wayne Simien and senior guard Mike Lee. Those four have made careers out of seizing opportunities on the court, hitting clutch shots, making timely passes, and being where they need to be when they need to be there.
Kansas isn't crushing opponents — not yet, at least, and the Jayhawks aren't putting up 90 points a game, nor will they. And sometimes, like Wednesday night against the 'Huskers, they're needed a little bit of luck in their corner, but they're making shots and stops when they need to, and different players are doing it.
And come March, it won't be the flash-and-dash glitz that cuts down the nets in St. Louis, it'll be the "been there, done that" swagger of experience and grit, which Kansas is showing it has in abundance.

action with the team after transferring from Kansas State last winter, she has started each of her eight games and averaged a team-high 14.3 points per game. She averages 33.5 minutes per game and is a 70 percent foul shooter.
Besides Brooks, the Tigers have two other viable scoring options. Junior guard LeToya Bond and junior center Christelle N'Garsanet both average more than 12 points per game. Bond, who plays a team-high 34 minutes per game, also averages four assists per contest. N'Garsanet grabs a team high 6.3 rebounds a
game and has a team high 28 blocks. She is one of four Tigers who stand 6-foot-3. That size concerns coach Henrickson.
"We go from playing one of the smallest teams in the conference in A&M to playing one of the biggest teams in the conference in Missouri," Henrickson said. "They are huge."
To win, Kansas will have to rebound better than it has in previous games. Against a team with the size of Missouri, boxing out is the key, Henrickson said.
"We need to rebound with more effort," she said. "We need to box out better. It's all about effort and intensity, and we
need to step it up in both of those areas."
In the all-time series, Kansas remains ahead of Missouri 34-31 and holds a 15-10 edge in Lawrence. Last season, both teams stole road victories with the Jayhawks' 55-52 victory in Columbia, Mo. and a 76-49 loss at home.
Besides the storied intensity of the rivalry and the importance of the key conference match-up, the contest is worth 1.5 points in the third annual Kansas/Missouri Border Showdown. Kansas currently leads this season's edition by a count of 7.5 to 5.5.

CHALMERS: Recruit chooses Kansas over three other teams, ready to play in Allen Fieldhouse
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Hansbrough finished with 36 points, nine rebounds and, unofficially, eight slam dunks.
Chalmers had a more balanced stat line. He finished with 27 points, eight rebounds, seven steals and six assists. He managed all of this in spite of being double-teamed throughout the game and often facing a third defender when he had the ball.
With a stronger supporting east, Chalmers' numbers could have been higher. His teammates missed several lay-ups and short-range shots, failing to convert Chalmers' assists.
Chalmers' father, Ronnie, is the coach of the Bartlett Golden Bears. Though his team lost to Poplar Bluff 86-57. Ronnie was pleased after the game.
"He's been playing out standing," he said. "You can tell that he matured a lot over the summer and improved his game on both ends of the court."
Either here ... or there
Mario chose Kansas over Georgia Tech. Wake Forest University and Arizona. Surprisingly, Mario has never actually seen a game in Allen Fieldhouse, having only been for Late Night in the Phog.
"To me, its just another arena. I've played in front of big crowds before, but this time it will be easier for me because it will be my fans, and I'll feel welcome," Mario said.
After watching the Jayhawks defeat Georgia Tech on ESPN, Mario knew he had made the right decision.
"Lawrence is a basketball town, and that's what I really liked," he said. "Everybody follows the Jayhawks up there. Plus, I really like the up-tempo style that they play."
Hansbrough made a different decision, choosing North Carolina over several other schools, including Kansas. Hansbrough said Williams was the biggest factor in his decision to play in Chapel Hill.
"I love the way he develops his big men," Hansbrough said. "It basically came down to me liking coach Williams
"He's so explosive. He'll be an
impact player for us. He and Russell Robinson together will create a lot of havoc."
Men's basketball coach

better than the coaches at the other schools."
Playing time was also a factor for Hansbrough, who looked at the teams' situations and felt his best chance to play right away was at North Carolina.
"I feel that I can step in to North Carolina and make an impact right away," Hansbrough said. "I will get a lot more playing time than I could have gotten at Kansas."
S*ar of tomorrow
Coach Bill Self drove to Springfield Sunday morning after returning from Kansas' 76-61 victory against Colorado. Self said he was excited about pairing Mario
with freshman guard Russell Robinson in the backcourt next season.
"He's so explosive," Self said of Mario. "He'll be an impact player for us. He and Russell Robinson together will create a lot of havoc."
Jayhawk fans have reason to be excited about Mario's arrival: He averages 27.6 points and 7.4 steals per game. His no-look passes, among other things, have earned him the nickname "Super Mario."
"He's a magician out there on the court. Mario has the great ability to see things happen before they actually do," Ronnie said.
Shay Wildeboor of rivals.com is also quick to praise the talented guard. Wildeboor, who follows Kansas basketball recruiting and has watched Mario play several times, said he was the real deal and a nightmare on defense.
Ronnie said his son could score 40 to 50 points per game, if he wanted.
Mario said he would rather dish out assists than accumulate points, however.
"I try to get all of my teammates involved," Mario said. "If I need to score, I can score."
Ronnie has coached his son since sixth grade, so watching from the stands will be a new experience for him and will take some time to get used to, he said.
"It's going to be tough," he said. "I try not to think about it, but when this season ends, it's all going to hit me."
He is even considering retiring from high school coaching after this season.
It will also be tough for Mario, who will have to take directions from someone new.
"It will be a little weird, but to be honest, coach Self is almost the same coach as my dad. They believe in a lot of the same principles," he said.
Cheering on the Jayhawks 2,700 miles away
Mario was born and raised in Anchorage, but most of his extended family lives in North Carolina. The Air Force transferred his father to Alaska in 1982.
Because Mario cannot make it to Allen Fieldhouse, he and
his family gather around the television in their house and cheer for the Jayhawks by watching as many games as they can.
Surely he is imagining a time a few years from now when those same people will be gathered together in that same room watching him play in that same crimson and blue.
"We've watched almost every game on TV," Ronnie said. "We're following them very closely and are rooting for them hard."
While watching, Mario has noticed sophomore guard J.R. Giddens' No. 15 jersey. Mario wears that number for Bartlett and has worn it his entire life. He doesn't plan on having to switch numbers either, he said.
"I'm going to try and talk J.R. into letting me have it," he said.
Regardless of what number Mario wears next season, Jayhawk fans should be excited. "Super Mario" is coming to town.

Kansas coach Bill Self and assistant coach Joe Dooley can't bear to watch after a turnover during the second half of the game on Saturday. Kansas gave up the ball 22 times resulting in 35 points for the Villanova Wildcats. Villanova upset the Jayhawks 83-62 at the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia. It was the Javhwaks' worst loss under Self.
'HAWKS DROP THE BALL
Villanova exposes KU flaws
BY MIRANDA LENNING
mlenning@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR SPORTWRITER
PHILADELPHIA — It wasn't in his body language after the game. His tone of voice wasn't harsh. But the words that came out of coach Bill Self's mouth after Kansas' demoralizing 83-62 loss to Villanova were so brutally honest, it was hard not to feel his anger.
"This has been coming," Self said. "We put a lot of Band-Aids on our defiencies."
Self said those deficiencies were "camouflaged with good team defense" and "opportunistic" rebounds
"T his has been
coming. We put a lot of Band- Aids on our deficiencies."
Bill Self Kansas basketball coach
which allowed the Jayhawks to win games. Villanova exposed those flaws, Self said.
By the time Villanova was done exposing the Jayhawks, Kansas' undefeated 14-0 record was left on the floor of the Wachovia Center. The team was bringing its 14-1 record back to Lawrence.
Everyone should have seen it coming though. The Jayhawks did in fact struggle against Iowa State. They surrendered a big lead in Boulder and let Colorado back in the game. And then there was the Nebraska game that Kansas didn't really win; Nebraska simply lost.
www.kansan.com
But is this the same team that rallied together for a come-from-behind victory against Georgia Tech and then outplaced Kentucky?
Self would tell you that it isn't.
He said that his team hasn't been as focused as they should be since the Kentucky game.
"When we played Kentucky away from home, we were so focused because we knew that we had to do the little things that it takes to win," Self said. "Now we are just showing up."
On Saturday in Philadelphia, the
team may not have even done that. Physically yeah, they were present. But their minds- and their hearts didn't seem to be there.
Senior guard Mike Lee said the problems started long before the ball tipped. During the warm-ups nobody spoke to each other. There was a serious lack of energy, he said.
"Coach Manning pulled me aside
during the shoot-around and said 'Mike, you've gotta get these guys going.'"
What was surprising was how Villanova's junior forward Curtis Sumpter dominated; he gathered 13 first-half points.
Lee said he started clapping, patting his teammates on the back, trying to get them into the game. But there was no response.
Considering the Jayhawks' first-half struggles this year, it wasn't surprising that they trailed at halftime 41-34.
But still, Kansas was in the game. It had in fact trailed at the half in several games this year, and the Jayhawks had won each of their last five games by six points or less.

"While we will be campaigning for the next couple of months, we will also have an activist focus," Jardon, Overland Park sophomore, said. "We want to help the outside community as much as we can and help improve the community."
After the kickoff party, Sterner and Jones will dedicate most of March to campaigning for office, leading up to the mid-April elections.
Sterner said he and Jones would try to meet as many people as possible during the next month. At the end of February KUnited will have a kickoff party celebrating the candidates running in the spring. They plan to visit campus organizations and develop a platform.
Craig served as the secretary of the Multicultural Affairs Committee and this year is a replacement junior/senior senator. A replacement senator joins the Senate at semester Jardin and Craig will dedicate their next month reaching out to outside programs and seeing what Student Senate can do for them.
Jardon and Craig will also work on putting together Delta Force's platform during the next month.
Delta Force will hold an informational meeting at the Kansas Union Thursday for any students who want to learn more about their organization and their involvement in the community.

Former 'Tonight Show' legend dies
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Johnny Carson, the quick-witted "Tonight Show" host who became a national institution putting his viewers to bed for 30 years with a smooth nightcap of celebrity banter, died Sunday. He was 79.
Carson died early Sunday morning, according to his nephew, Jeff Sotzing. "He was surrounded by his family, whose loss will be immeasurable," Sotzing told The Associated Press.
He did not provide further details, but NBC said Carson died of emphysema—a respiratory disease that can be attributed to smoking - at his Malibu home.
COLIN SCHNEIDER
CARSON
Carson often had a cigarette in hand in the early years of "Tonight," eventually dropping on the air-habit when smoking on TV became frowned on. But he remained a heavy smoker for some
years afterward, said a former associate who spoke on condition of anonymity.
The boyish-looking Nebraska native with the disarming grin was a star who
"Heeeere's Johnny!" was the booming announcement from sidekick Ed McMahon that ushered Carson out to the stage.
managed never to distance himself from his audience.
Carson's personal life could not match the perfection of his career. Carson was married four times, divorced three. In 1991, one of his three sons, 39-year-old Ricky, was killed in a car accident.
Nearly all of Carson's professional life was spent in television, from his postwar start at Nebraska stations in the late 1940s to his three decades with
NBC's "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson."
Carson made his debut as "Tonight" host in October 1962 and quickly won over audiences. In the '80s, Carson was reportedly the highest-paid performer in television history with a $5 million "Tonight" show salary alone.
Carson won a Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor, in 1992, with the first President Bush saying. "With decency and style he's made America laugh and think." In 1993, he was celebrated by the prestigious Kennedy Center Honors for career achievement.

The first Ralph N. Adams Award in Bioanalytical Chemistry will be presented on Feb. 28 at the Pittsburgh Conference in Orlando, Fla., to Iowa State Professor Edward Yeung.
New award named in honor of deceased KU professor
The award, which includes a plaque $2,500 honorarium, and a symposium, was funded by former students, colleges, family and friends, said Lisa Boley, Adams' daughter.
Boley, also a benefits specialist in the department of Human Resources at the University, said Adams' former students came up with the idea for the award and organized it after his death in 2002.
Adams, whose nickname "Buzz" was given to him when he was a WWII pilot, was a professor at the University of Kansas from 1955 to 1992. He specialized in bioanalytical chemistry and neurochemistry.
"He was one of the fathers of bioan- alytical chemistry," said Craig Lunte, professor of chemistry. "So it is appropriate that there is an award in this area in his honor."
The award will be presented annually at the conference to a professor in analytical chemistry.

Philip C. Kissam, professor of law, died in a hospital in Burlington, Vt., on Dec. 23, 2004, after a battle with cancer. He was 63.
Colleagues of Kissam remember him as a scholar dedicated to his work and to his teaching.
"He was a true intellectual in the best sense," Webb Hecker said, associate dean of the School of Law.
Stephen McAllister, dean of the School of Law, remembered Kissam as an engaged colleague who was very curious intellectually and was always helpful and dedicated to his students. McAllister said that Kissam devoted a lot of time to working with his students and critiquing their work.

"His reputation from most of the students was that he was very helpful and spent a lot of
time with t he m , " McAllister said.
KISSAM
his teaching, his students and the cultivation of new ideas in the field of legal education was a big part of his life.
Sandy McKenzie, a law professor who joined the faculty in 1979, said that Kissam was he first introduction to academia life. They had been friends for the day she began teaching at the University of Kansas, she said.
Kissam, she said, was always thinking about new ways of teaching law and usually planned his classes far in advance.
about projects in the future," McKenzie said. "Most of the time, he would plan two semesters ahead of everyone else."
Aside from being a dedicated scholar, friends and family remember Kissam as a kind, gentle man who was "never one to rock the boat." McAllister said.
"He did voice his opinio when he needed to," he said.
Survivors include his wife Brenda, Lawrence; his son Jonathan, Burlington, Vt.; a daughter Ariane, Burlington, Vt.; his mother, Ruth Kissam, Sarasota, Fla.; his sister, Bonnie, Sarasota, Fla.; his brother, Toby, Northport, N.Y.; and two grandchildren.

Flu vaccine opens to all

Officials encouraging students to get immunization
Student Health Services will offer flu vaccinations to all students and faculty beginning today after months of a nationwide vaccination restriction.
The Centers for Disease Control and the Kansas Department of Health and Environment are urging everyone to be vaccinated. Lawrence Memorial Hospital will also have FluMist available starting today.
The CDC restricted vaccinations in October because of a shortage of injection doses. Chiron, a U.S. influenza vaccination supplier, failed a supply inspection after contaminated doses had been identified. Chiron provides about half of the doses for the country.
FluMist, a nasal mist form of the immunization, is available despite the shortage.
GET VACCINATED
Watkins Health Center will offer FluMist — by appointment only — for $25, which is $10 more than the injection.

The inhaled immunization increases the chance for side effects, said Myra Strother, Watkins chief of staff.
It is for this reason that high risk individuals will not be given FluMist. High-risk individuals include anyone 65 years of age or older, those with long-term heart or lung disease or any other illness needing close medical attention, and those who provide care to high-risk individuals.
Flu-like symptoms such as a sore throat, fever and coughing are among possible side effects.
Effects usually last one to two days and are mild, she said.
Strother said there had been flu-like cases in Lawrence.
Though Watkins staff has not diagnosed any cases yet, flu usually spreads on campus at the beginning of the spring semester.
"Students go through infected areas over the break and bring it back with them." Strother said.
For Strother, it's a constant fight to advise students of the need to get vaccinated.
"They think 'aww, I'm not gonna get it' but they are just as much at risk," Strother said.
Other ways to avoid contracting the flu is frequent handwashing, cat well, exercise and get plenty of rest. Strother said. People with flu-like symptoms are encouraged to make an appointment at Watkins.
Approximately 700 students were vaccinated last semester when a clinic for high-risk individuals was offered at Watkins. Strother said around 1000 students are vaccinated annually by Watkins.

No creationism in school no evolution in church
As members of an academic community, students of the University of Kansas should be aware that as a result of the election, the Kansas State Board of Education now has a 6-4 anti-evolution majority consisting of those who are supportive of teaching "alternative theories" to counter evolution.
Kansas received in 1999 when the board voted to remove references to the theory of evolution on state assessment tests that are intended to measure student competency. The embarrassment ended when the standards were repealed in 2001, but the controversy returns as the standards are once again being revised and supporters of Intelligent Design theory denounce evolution in the curriculum.
It is essential that students be taught the theory of evolution and they can then decide personally what they would like to believe. Although our middle school and high school years are behind us, we still have an interest in preserving the educational integrity of our community.
Having a thorough education is advantageous to college students. Entrance exams, such as the SAT, include questions based on the knowledge of the subject. At the university, evolution is taught as a fact beyond a reasonable doubt.
Students who did not receive a satisfactory explanation of natural selection may also hold common misconceptions such as man descending from monkeys instead of what the theory truly states; that both have a common ancestor. Also, it is the cornerstone of modern biology.
Opponents of evolution attempt to attack Darwin by using Intelligent Design theory which provides a more sophisticated rebutal of natural selection than pure creationism as it does not specify the designer as God. On their Web site, intelligentdesignnetwork.org, "objectivity in the origins science" is stated as their aim. The theory says natural selection cannot adequately explain the complexity of life today and everything must have been created by an intelligent designer.
However, ScientificAmerican.com reports that they lack credibility and the backing of the scientific community who continue to view evolution as the best explanation of the diversity of life. Also ID theorists have been accused of disguising their religious agenda in scientific jargon to prove the existence of God.
Evolution is uncontested scientifically
but like all sciences, it welcomes scrutiny and alternative theories. A philosophical or religiously based argument has no relevance in science. Science consists of forming and testing hypotheses based on observable evidence.
The lack of scientific backing and religious motivations of ID theory and their religious motivations bring forth many concerns with the theory being taught as an alternative to evolution.
Primarily, science has nothing to do with proving or disproving the existence of God and furthermore to teach such a theory as science in the classroom in the United States would be unconstitutional. The 1987 case of Edwards v. Aguillard stated that creationism should not receive equal time because it violated the First Amendment clause prohibiting the establishment of religion.
The concern over separation of church and state has been a heavily discussed issue since the elections as it became apparent how increasingly polarized our country has become. The New York Times reported on April 8, 2001 that George W. Bush holds the position "that children should be exposed to both creationism and evolution in school". Will separation of church and state potentially be in danger over the next four years?
There will be four hearings in which the evaluation of state science standards will be open to the public. Information on these meetings are on the Kansas Department of Education Web site, www.ksde.org.
These are more than just school board hearings. Depending on one's perspective, one could partake in the fight for schools to present alternatives to evolution. After all, some feel that its claims threaten the validity of their religious convictions. Or it could be seen as the struggle against anti-intellectualism and the violation of the constitution.
The debate should not be framed in terms of choosing either science or religion. The curriculum should reflect teaching religion as religion and science as science. Evolution has no place in Sunday school just as Creationism has no place in a science class.

'Jesus' not an agent for self-interests
COMMENTARY
Jesus Johnson, with his cross sitting in the shadows of his shoes as he sat in Jesusmaryandjoseph, Kansas, straightens his bow tie and combs his flowing mullet in all its glory.
With the television in the background rejoicing the glorious news of the re-election of George W. Bush, Jesus thought, "Life is good".
As a youngster, Jesus learned the important moral values he would need to live a pious life from the First Christian Church on Main Street. Yet, Jesus thought to himself, the rest of the world isn't as safe as this sleepy hollow in Kansas, a haven tucked away in the arms of the good Lord.
(1)
"George Bush." Jesus exclaimed to his wife Charlene, "is just the soldier the good Lord needs in leading this country down the righteous path."
Four months earlier, on a cool spring morning, Jesus arose from a peacefulsleep, reading a passage from the Good Book.
That Monday morning had begun like any other; however, upon turning on the radio, Jesus' calmness quickly changed into a feeling of uneasiness and disgust.
The radio announced San Francisco's defiance of the law of California: the legalization of gay marriage.
DEVIN SIKES
opinion@kansan.com
As the months passed and the election approached, Jesus held rallies across Kansas, preaching that "Dub-Ya" was God's chosen one to lead America down the righteous moral path.
"Dat dem der faggots Rosie O'Donnell and her lesbian girl friend are queerer den a dang $3 bill." Jesus thought angrily.
The final month before the election.
Jesus became more nervous than ever.
News polls and national media had the election going down 40 the wire.
"Sure to be as close as 2000." Rather exclaimed.
"Kerry, the ridiculous flip-flooper can't make up his mind!" stated O'Reilly, who snickered with the classy grin of a car salesman. The townsfolk gathered in the First Christian Church on Main Street to watch each presidential debate, cheering raucously when Bush spoke and booing demonically after John Kerry's rebuttal.
On the night of Nov. 1, Jesus kissed his son, John David, on the forehead and tucked him in bed. Slipping into his night-gown, he turned off his lamp, prayed to the Lord for his omniscient guidance and slipped away into a comfortable sleep.
Weeks after the election, Jesus began to see his Christian brothers demanding a constitutional ban on gay marriage, abortion and other moral values they shared.
Spitting out Skoal into his Mountain Dew can, Jesus realized that he had used hate as the catalyst to promote self-interest politics.
In a country that is the land of opportunity for so many, Jesus realized he was
one of many whose hate infringed upon the dreams and goals of others.
Jesus was not alone: People of all colors, creeds and backgrounds had lobbied for their respective interests instead of the most important article, the proliferation of their country for future generations.
"Concentrating all on self," Jesus thought, "a country will never be able to establish a solid economy, progressive educational system and a responsible social state which protects its citizens.
"All men are created equal," "read Jesus aloud at Sunday service, "We will hardly reach this goal whilst selfishly pursuing our political advantages the way we all have."
Passionately, Jesus exclaimed, "A country is only as good as its weakest link and we've got a lot of work to do!"
The crowd burst into cheers, cats and dogs embraced one another and the silly rabbit got his Trix. Like his Jewish predecessor, Jesus was not a follower, but a leader providing inspiration and hope for others.
In a country where over forty percent of its citizens believe that it is not necessary to believe in God to be moral and have good values, according to The Economist, Jesus believed that perhaps America wasn't in such bad shape after all. In a spectacular moment of inspiration and spontaneous humility, Jesus bought everyone a Coke and all was right with the world.

Bush gets it right with immigration policy
As someone who voted for John Kerry, I must admit that George W. Bush has done well for himself since the election. Naming the most diverse cabinet in American history and deploying more troops to Iraq to end the mess faster.
A PRINCE IN THE PULPIT
Bush also plans to overhaul the nation's immigration policy. As it stands, our borders are closed. Gone are the days of "Give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free" from the Statue of Liberty.
PETE PRINCE
opinion@kansan.com

Now, the tired in boats from Cuba, the poor in truck-beds from Mexico, and the huddled masses from southeast Asia are repeatedly forced back to their homelands. Bush says that the United States needs an immigration system "that serves the American economy and reflects the American dream." Under his proposed system, more than 8 million illegal immigrants could obtain temporary worker status in the United States.
America is a nation of immigrants; we have always valued immigration, and depended on it. There are jobs in the United States that Americans aren't willing to take. Oftentimes, immigrants from poorer nations are willing to take these jobs and they provide for their families by doing so. With the changes that Bush is proposing, our labor laws will protect the new immigrants and they will be able to earn better wages. The border patrol would no longer have to track down immigrants who plan on working hard and obeying our laws.
entering our country.
Rather, the border patrol would have more time and money to stop drug trafficking and preventing terrorists from
Bush proposed this plan early in 2004 and again in December. It is important that he reaffirmed his commitment to this plan after suspicions that he initially proposed it as a campaign ploy to increase his appeal to Latinos.
Congress is split on this immigration issue, but not by party. Democratic senator Ted Kennedy has stated that the current immigration policy "is unjust and unacceptable."
Republican representative Thomas Tancredo said that he will oppose any policy that rewards lawbreakers.
The Latino community is also split over the proposed policy. LULAC supports Bush, saying that it is a step in the right direction, but Raul Yzaguirre, president of the National Council of La Raza — which claims to be the nation's largest Latino civil rights organization — said that the plan "appears to offer the business community full access to the immigrant workers it needs, while providing very little to the workers themselves." But Bush's proposal offers a legal way for immigrants to come to America and work under good
labor laws and to earn a decent wage.
Our immigration system should be built with a chance for anyone wishing to live in the U.S. to find and hold a job. A short time period, 6 months or a year, should be offered to immigrants to live here and land a job.
Then they can work towards citizenship as they continue to live in our communities. If an immigrant is unable or unwilling to find and hold a job, then send them back to their homelands after the allotted time period.
Immigrants should be offered the same benefits as any American and should be protected under our labor laws. They're treated so poorly in this country, even in Kansas in the slaughterhouses of the meat packing industry, workers are subjected to dangerous environments but have no voice because they are here illegally. Under a new system, those workers might have a chance to better those conditions.
The proposal does not support amnesty — giving away citizenship like candy. But, it does offer a way for these immigrants to work, and make a home for themselves. They can also pursue American citizenship. Since the birth of our nation, we have housed all people looking for a better life. If you do not have Native American blood in your body then you are a descent of immigrants. We need to open our borders again to people pursuing the American dream, wholeheartedly, and legally.

The beginning of another semester has residence hall students moving back in, preparing for another five months of school, coping with cold temperatures and dreading the ringing sound that wakes them up in the middle of the night; a fire alarm.
If a fire alarm goes off in a residence hall, everyone must evacuate the building, regardless of the situation that caused the alarm, said Diana Robertson, associate director of Student Housing.
Ryan Delcotto, Topeka freshman, said that false alarms last semester at McColum Hall were more prevalent during the night.
"I remember one time where we had to stay out until 5 a.m." Delcotto said.
He said that he recalled another instance when he fell asleep in his car with the heat on after someone pulled a false fire alarm. He woke up the next morning to find out that his car battery dead. Delcotto said that in one instance McCollum residents evacuated the building three times in one night because of false alarms.

Jason Ptaszek, Minnetonka, Minn., freshman, said that an individual pulled a false alarm in McColllum for every game that the New York Yankees lost to the Boston Red Sox in the American League Championship Series last year.
Robertson said that the residence halls hold floor meetings to stress the importance of fire alarm safety at the beginning of the year. However, that has not stopped students in the past

Mark Bradford, Fire and Medical Deputy Chief for the city of Lawrence, said that damaging a fire alarm could result in a felony charge that would stay on an individual's permanent record. Bradford said that fines for pulling a false fire alarm range from $50 to $500.
Some residence halls on campus have better false alarm records than others. Neil Spector, Buffalo Grove, Ill., junior, lives in Lewis and said that false alarms are not continuously an issue.
"We never know whether or not it's a false alarm until we arrive." Bradford said. "It desensitizes our crew."
"I think Lewis and Templin are more academically geared and the people know when the right time is to play and when the time is to study," Spector said.

Arm wrestlers battle at The Ranch

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Charles Medecock, Lenexa (left) battles Eric Duerksen, Pittsburgh, Saturday night at The Ranch in the touring World Championship Arm wrestling (WCA) tournaments. Contestants paid $10 to take on other wrestlers in the WCA event, which is widely gaining more popularity and hoping to gain status similar to that of the WWF.
A crowd gathers around two brawny men and a nine-foot-tall steel machine called "The Enforcer." The man grip levers as the beer-swilling crop yells insults and encouragements at the competitors.
Chris Miller/KANSAN
The refs yell "go!" The men pull on their levers — biceps bulging.
Their facial expressions look like someone just poured boiling water on them as they struggle against each other.
This was World Championship Arm wrestling at The Cadillac Ranch. 2515 W. 6th St.
Approximately 15 people participated in the event Saturday night, which is less than the usual turnout, said Trevor Arends, president of the Over The Top Entertainment.
Usually 30-50 people participate during a tournament. Arends said the $10 entry in a college town was probably the biggest factor hampering the participation.
"That's what, like, 10 drinks at this place?" he said.

"This is about 10 percent of what arm wrestling is all about." Terfler said. "This is just sheer strength."
Talley Houlk, who placed first place in the women's competition, said she didn't like the machine either. It lacked human element, she said.
"You don't have the sweaty palms," Houk said, "It's not the actual force of someone."
Houk said her brother, Lucas Houk, participates in state arm wrestling competitions and didn't come to the WCA tournament because of the machine.
Mike Ritchie, Manhattan resident, said he enjoyed participating despite not liking the machine.
Ritchey, who lost in the first round of play, offered this bit of advice.

Motor fatalities more likely on rural roads
MANHATTAN — The bulk of fatal traffic crashes occur on the state's rural roads although most noninjury and nonfatal accidents take place on urban roadways, according to a new
research study. The prevalence of speeding in rural areas, the reduced likelihood of drivers using seat belts and the difficulty rescue workers have in reaching the crashes were listed as possible reasons.
The study, which was written by a Kansas State University civil engineering professor, found that about 75 percent of
fatal traffic crashes occur on the state's rural roads.
Relying on annual observation surveys taken by the Kansas Department of Transportation, the researchers found that although 80 percent of motorists and front-seat passengers traveling on rural interstate routes wear seat belts, only 59 percent buckle up on
the less-traveled county roads.
Researcher Sunundo Dissanayake listed speeding as a concern. She said that driving over the speed limit is one of the major causes in many severe highway crashes. Also possibly contributing to the rural fatalities, rescuers need more time to reach the victims of rural crashes.

FLAWS: Hawks look to turn loss into a positive
CONTINUED FROM 1A
Coming out of the locker room, however, Kansas played much worse, while Villanova played even better.
The Wildcats went on a 12-2 run to open the half. Four Kansas points later, they exploded for a 12-0 run that widened their lead to 72-40 with about seven and a half minutes left in the game.
Ballgame
As the Villanova fan chanted "Q-V-E-R-R-A-T-E-D," even the most loyal KU fan had to wonder if they were right.
Kansas finished the game with 22 turnovers, the most of the season.
They allowed Sumpter to go 5-6 from behind the arc and finish with 25 points. Guard Allen Ray shot 4-7 from three-point land and led all scorers with 27 points.
Villanova actually led by 32 points after their 12-0 run.
Self was so fed up with his team that he yanked all of his starters from the game. For about five minutes, when the

game was getting out of hand,
the Jayhawks played with freshmen forward Darnell Jackson and Sasha Kaun, senior guard Mike Lee and the rarely used guards junior Jeff Hawkins and sophomore Nick Bahe.
"Coach has made it clear in the last couple of games that if guys don't cut it on the court, they are coming out," senior forward Wayne Simien said.
Self might have been trying to make a point by sitting his starters.
It seemed like Self thought it was more important to play the right way than win a non-conference road game.
"With our ranking and with the popularity of our players nationally with the media, I think you can get a false sense of who you are." Self said. "We weren't as good as our record and we are not as bad as we played today."
But he didn't have to make a point after the game. The Jayhawks' appalling performance spoke for itself.
The Jayhawks said they want to turn this loss into a positive. Self said it should be an attention-getter for his team to stop "just showing up" and focus on the things that earned them their biggest wins of the year.
"When you do a lot of good things, you can push away the negatives, the truth," Lee said. "We will have to turn this game into a positive."

KU FIRST: University to add 65 professorships
CONTINUED FROM 1A
"People need to know you need great private support to have a great school." Hogland said.
University officials announced the campaign on Sept. 7, 2001, with a set goal of $500 million. However, half of that goal had already been reached during the campaign's silent phase, which began on July 1, 1998. John Scarffe said, director of the KU Endowment Association. A silent phase in a champaign is the time before the champaign is announced to the public.
Despite the economic slump after Sept. 11, the initial goal was reached in November 2003 more than a year before its scheduled December 2004 conclusion, Scarfe said. The Endowment Association set the new goal at
$600 million the following February. More than 100,000 people donated to the campaign. Scarfe said the gifts ranged from a $5 or $10 phone donation to a $43.7 million donation from the Hall Family Foundation. The Hall donation was the largest single donation in the University history.
"It makes you feel proud and humbled that those two letters—'K' and 'U' — generate so much support," Chancellor Robert Hemenway said. "They really care about the next generation of students."
Hemenway said he was excited about the 65 new professorships that would come from the campaign. "It's good to talk specifically about professorship and what it means to the University," he said.
the KU Endowment Association, said he had felt a sense of relief since the campaign's end. He said he was pleased that students and faculty will enjoy the benefits soon, such as when the students would move into the new Rieger Scholarship Hall.
Dale Seuferling, president of
The KU First campaign, which more than doubled "Campaign Kansas," was only the third major fundraising campaign in the University's history.
Campaign Kansas raised $265.3 million from 1987 to 1992. The University's first fundraising campaign, called "Program for Progress," raised $21 million from 1966 to 1969. That total was the country's second largest total raised by a university at that time. Scarffe said.

Kansas defeats Missouri for season's first Big 12 victory
PAUL BRAND
pbrand@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
The wait was long, but it was worth it. Bonnie Henrickson could not have asked for a more exciting and heart-pounding introduction to the Border Showdown, a 63-61 victory over Missouri.
In a roller coaster game that featured 18 lead changes, Kansas, 8-8 (1-4 Big 12), earned its first conference victory of the season in an interesting reversal of fortune of last Saturday's last-second 62-60 defeat at Texas A&M.
"I am very happy for our players," Henrickson said. "They are all very excited about this win, and they should be."
"We discussed as a group after the A&M game about rebounding," Henrickson said.
And the Jayhawks responded by grabbing 15 offensive rebounds, one of the keys to the game for Kansas.
KANSAS

"We won the battle of the boards, and that was critical for us," Henrickson said.
Instead of a repeat of the late shot against the Aggies, the Jayhawks closed out the victory using solid defense that kept the Tigers off the scoreboard for the last 3:24 of the game.
Although Kansas managed to score only four points in the last six minutes, senior guard Aquanita Burras' steal and
breakaway layup at the 1:19 mark put the Jayhawks ahead for good, 63-61. After penetrating the passing lane, Burras tightroped the sideline and went the distance for the score.
Burras finished the showdown with 12 points and four steals.
Missouri had an opportunity to win the game on its last possession, but Tiffany Brooks missed an open three-point shot with 15 seconds left to seal the Tigers' fate.
"It was a great opportunity." Brooks said. "I just couldn't knock it down."
The back-and-forth contest, which Missouri led 31-26 at halftime, was filled with lightning quick offensive spurs that made for a nervous atmosphere.
"That is the scariest thing at home." Burras said. "It was nerve-racking."
Kansas struck first and jumped out to an early 16-6 lead over the Tigers, but the Kansas offense quickly cooled.
In response to 'the early Jayhawk lead, Missouri closed out the first period on a 25-10 run that placed it at a five-point halftime advantage.

Scoring on its first three possessions after the intermission, Kansas regained the advantage, pulling ahead 32-31 by the 18:26 mark.

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
In the days leading up to Saturday night's game vs. Missouri, coach Bonnie Henrickson stressed rebounding. She wanted her players to be tougher and fight harder for positioning.
It must have worked, as the smaller Jayhawks out rebounded the much bigger Tigers 35-30 en route to a 63-61 victory.
The main contributor was junior forward Crystal Kemp. After pulling down only three rebounds in the first half, Kemp went off and grabbed 11 in the second half. She finished with a game-high 14 rebounds, seven offensive and seven defensive.
"Kemp was incredible on the glass, especially on the offensive end." Missouri coach Cindy Stein said. "It's like she has suction cups on her hands, when she grabs some of those rebounds."
Kemp's average was 8.3 rebounds per game.
Even she was surprised by her strong performance against a Missouri team that features six players over 6-foot-1. "I'm kind of shocked myself," Kemp said. "I'm not really sure why they didn't box me out, but I'll take it."
Henrickson attributes Kemp's success to her positioning. She put herself in good position to grab the rebounds, she said.
"Crystal did a great job of just sitting in the stance and playing the athletic position." Henrickson said. "She really cleaned up on the defensive boards."

Philadelphia fans have two teams to cheer for
PHILADELPHIA — It was hard not to feel good for Philadelphia sports fans this weekend.
Thousands of fans rushed the court when the Villanova Wildcats beat the Javahawks on Saturday.
As the fans left the court, amidst the cursing and yammering directed at the pack of Kansas fans behind the student section, my crimson-clad colleagues said they were surprised by the good behavior of the infamous Philly fanatics.
There was taunting and a constant stream of choice words and gestures, but no shoving, hat-snatching or beer-spilling from the fans who had enjoyed the Wachovia Center's happy hour leading up to tin-off.
Kansas fans in Philadelphia, just like those in the Midwest, were flummoxed and furious at the Jayhawks' inability to rebound or string together more than two consecutive baskets.
Several fans were more worried about the impending NFC Championship game hosted by their beloved Eagles.
Most of the Jayhawks' 22 turnovers came at the worst possible times, much to the delight of the snowed-in crowd.
After all, Philly fans have pelted Santa Claus with snowballs during an Eagles game and cheered when $ ^{a} $ an opposing player suffered a neck injury.
"Villanova exposed us." Kansas coach Bill Self said bluntly after the game.
Given the team's performance, Kansas fans at the game braced for the worst.

Senior guard Keith Langford and freshman center Sasha Kaun block Randy Foye, Villanova junior guard. Kaun blocked three shots and scored 11 points during 18 minutes in the Jawhacks' 83-62 loss against Villanova.
"I didn't know that I was going to play that much, but coach Townsend told me to be ready." Hawkins said.
Self said Hawkins' effort in practice combined with his performance early on in Saturday's game earned him more minutes.
Hawkins has played just 12 combined minutes all year, but saw 17 minutes of action on Saturday. Even though freshman Russell Robinson was the first point guard off the bench, he was removed from the game after committing two turnovers in just one minute of first-half play.
"Jeff has been better in practice." Self said. "We gave Russell a chance to play first, but when things didn't work out, I put Leff in."
The play that will be talked about the most when mentioning Hawkins will most likely be the punch in the stomach he took from Villanova freshman guard Kyle Lowry.

"It was nothing personal," Self said. "We just weren't playing well."
After he pulled his starters out of the game early in the second half, Self went with a combination of freshmen forwards Sasha Kaun and Darnell Jackson, and guards Mike Lee, senior, Jeff Hawkins, junior, and Nick Bahe, sonhomore.
PHILADELPHIA — Their jerseys read "Kansas," but you might not have recognized a lot of the Jayhawks on the court in Saturday's 83-62 loss to Villanova.
Whether Kansas coach Bill Self tried to send a message to his stars, or looked for some energy off the bench, he played some lineups that Kansas fans haven't seen all year.
Right before the half. Lowry threw a punch to Hawkins' stomach. The official saw it and ejected Lowry from the game.
It might have knocked the wind out of Hawkins' but he kept playing. He finished the game with four points and an assist.
Hawkins' performance was one of the few positives the jayhaws can take from Saturday's game. Freshman Sasha Kaun is another.

Close games catch up with the men's basketball team
All the Jayhawks close calls over the past few weeks finally caught up to them on Saturday
It was bound to happen.
SPORTS COMMENTARY
No team can consistently get behind five, 10 points every game and expect to come back each time. We tried to pretend that the close wins thus far were a sign of a great team that simply refused to lose.
RYAN COLAIANNI sports@kansan.com
After the huge win at Kentucky, I honestly thought this team could win out. But as the Jayhawks struggled through wins at Iowa State and Colorado, and don't get me started on the narrow win against Nebraska AT HOME last week, I realized that this team took steps backwards since the win in Lexington, Ky.
So far this season, the Jayhawks have been unable to put teams away. They have consistently developed nine or ten point leads, but then been unable to increase it to 20 points or more. This allows opposing teams to hang around and be in games at the end with a chance to cause an upset.
I guess if they had to lose this year, a nonconference road game was the way to do it. But it was the way the team lost that was the biggest concern. For the second straight game, the Jayhawks were reckless with the basketball, committing 22 turnovers which led to 43 points for Villanova.
The final score of the game was also a little deceiving as Kansas trailed by as many as 37 late in the second half, but was able to close the gap a little, when facing Villanova's scrubs.
You do have to give Villanova some
credit though; they played a nearly flawless game. On Saturday, Villanova made 11 of 17 from the three point line, good for better than 63 percent. It's tough to beat a team with those numbers, just look at Villanova's performance in the 1985 NCAA Championship against Georgetown.
Despite having a player ejected and their lead cut to four just before halftime, the Wildcats responded and the Jayhawks did not. In the blink of an eye, Villanova went on an unbelievable run.
Saturday, a poor performance combined with Villanova's three-point shooting, made it a very long day for the lavwhaws.
A team that is so senior led should never have let a game get so out of hand. Coach Bill Self tried numerous lineups to get the ship going in the right direction but to no avail. At one point Self had a lineup of role players Darnell Jackson, freshman forward, Michael Lee, senior guard, Sasha Kahn, freshman forward, Nick Bahe, sophomore guard, and Jeff Hawkins, junior guard, on the court, but it simply did not work. Even when he put the starters back in with ten minutes to go, Simien and company could not stop the bleeding. Self tried everything. Heck! He played nine guys for 10 or more minutes.
This is a game that could haunt the Jayhawks for the rest of the season. Villanova could have delivered a mental blow so strong that it could derail the hopes and dreams of this team.
Self's not convinced that is the case, however.
"We've been kind of living on the razor's edge for the last couple of games, and I hate that this happened, but a little humiliation may do us all good," Self said after the loss in Philadelphia.
You can look at the Villanova loss as a wake up call. However, there have been so many potential wake up call games this season. From trailing late against Vermont in the first game of the season, to nearly falling to Nebraska last week, close-calls have been common place. The team clearly has not responded to the closest games.
Tomorrow's contest at Baylor will give us the first indication of how this team will perform for the rest of the season. It's funny to think that a game against lowly Baylor could define the rest of the season. This team is at a crossroads. They can let this devastating loss ruin their season and their title hopes, or respond to this game with a vengeance and deliver a knockout punch. With the number of seniors on this team, I am optimistic they will get going in the right direction.

McNabb and Eagles are finally Super Bowl bound
PHILADELPHIH — His smile can light up a locker room, even a stadium. Yesterday, Donovan McNabb lit up the city.
Break out the cheesesteaks, because this long-suffering quarterback is taking the Philadelphia Eagles to the Super Bowl at last.
"I'm excited with this win, everybody in the Philadelphia area is excited," McNabb said after yesterday's 27 10 victory over Atlanta gave the Eagles their first NFC championship since the 1980 season.
"We know what happened the last three years, but this year was special
and we have no reason to stop now."
McNabb exuded a quiet confidence all week, and his teammates took his cue. That frigid rush of wind swirling over the East Coast over the weekend was no arctic blast. That was the biggest sigh of relief this place has breathed in decades.
History has not been kind to Philadelphia sports lately. Nothing was more agonizing than the NFC title losses, though, and McNabb struggled through all of them.
McNabb was on his way to becoming the quarterback who couldn't win the big ones. He put that notion to rest by throwing two touchdown passes to Chad Lewis and staring down the doubters, along with the Atlanta defense.

MEN'S BASKETBALL
Former KU basketball player signs with New Jersey Nets
It's been a long wait for former Kansas basketball sharpshooter Billy Thomas, but at the age of 29 he is finally a rookie in the NBA.
Tomas, who played at Kansas from 1995 to 1998, spent time playing basketball overseas and in several American minor league systems until signing a 10-day contract with the New Jersey Nets last week. So far, he has appeared in one game and pulled down two rebounds and dished one assist. He has yet to score.
Before receiving his opportunity to play in the NBA, Thomas played for the Dakota Wizards of the CBA. Thomas led the league in three-point field goals.
During his time at Kansas he made 269 three-pointers, the second most of any Jayhawk. He graduated as Kansas' all-time leading three-point shooter, but Jeff Boschee eventually passed him with 338.
He will join former Jayhawk teammate Jacque Vaughn, who has played for the Nets all season.

Men's bowling takes first at Blue and Gold Invitational
Kansas' men's bowling team bounced back from its last two tournaments, where it finished out of the top 10, with a win at the 8th Annual Blue and Gold Invitational in South Bend,
Ind. this weekend.
The first place finish was the team's first since October, before junior Rhino Page left to play with the national team. Page is coming off a win at the U.S. National Amateur Championship and took first place in the Blue and Gold. Page had a 220-pin average. His teammate, junior Pat Eighmy, finished second overall with a 216-pin average.
Heading into the second, and final,
day of competition, the men's team
was trailing Saginaw Valley by 80 pins.
The team faced off with Saginaw
Valley and beat them by 301 pins.
"The men played outstanding with difficult nine conditions and avoided having any bad games," coach Mike Fine said. "They bowled over 1,000 in each of the last six games of the tournament."
The men's team faced a field of 33, which included nine of the top 10 teams in the nation.
"It was important for the team to come back strong after their last showing," Fine said. "They were able to reestablish themselves as a dominant team."
The women's team also competed at the Blue and Gold, finishing sixth out of a field of 15. The team finished with a pin total of 7,646. The sixthplace finish continues the women's run of top-10 finishes in all tournaments this season.
"The women just never could get on a roll," Fine said. "Their spare shooting was good. The good thing is, they are continually getting better."
Senior Kelly Zapf led the women's team with a 182-pin average, finishing eighth overall. Junior Kelly Sanders was second on the team with a 171-pin
average.
Both teams will next head to Omaha, Neb. to compete in the Maverick Husker Classic on Feb. 5-6.

FOOTBALL
Awards banquet honors outstanding football players
At the annual Kansas football awards banquet, senior center Joe Vaughn and sophomore cornerback Charles Gordon were named the team's offensive and defensive most valuable players, respectively.
Gordon tied for the most interceptions in all of Division I-A with seven. Gordon received the Ray Evans Award, which is given to the defensive MVP. Those interceptions earned Gordon first team all-Big 12 honors from the coaches and The Associated Press. Gordon was also named a third team All-American by The Associated Press.
Vaughn, who transferred from Northeastern Oklahoma A&M after his sophomore season, started all 24 games in his two years with the Kansas program. At the banquet Vaughn was also named offensive lineman of the year in addition to receiving the John Hadl Award for offensive MVP. Vaughn was named second team all-Big 12 by the Associated Press and the coaches last season. On Saturday
Vaughn also participated in the annual Hula Bowl, which showcases top seniors from across the country.
Other seniors picking up awards on Saturday were tight end Lyonel Anderson and wide receiver Brandon Rideau. The two were named the team's most-improved offensive players. Anderson caught 33 passes for 328 yards and three touchdowns. Rideau led all receivers in receptions, with 51, yards, with 597, and touchdowns, with seven.
Gabriel Toomey, who decided after the season to leave the team because of a nagging injury, was awarded the Gale Sayers Award for most courageous player along with junior Nick Reid. Toomey had 54 tackles on the year, and Reed led the team with 109 tackles.

Sophomore Tricia Tindall finished second during heat two of the 200-yard butterfly against Truman State at the University's home dual meet. The meet ended with a 177-103 Jawhawk victory.
Swimmers break losing streak
BY KELLY REYNOLDS

KANSAN SPORTSWINTER
It was almost a sigh of relief Friday night when the Kansas swimming and diving team defeated Truman State at the Robinson Natatorium.
The University's team won 177-103. Swimmers earn an allotted number of points for each race in which they place.
After returning from Nebraska with their fourth Big 12 Conference defeat, the Jayhawks were "simply beat-up," coach Clark Campbell said.
"We got pummeled by Nebraska, and to tell you the truth, we were scared coming into this meet against Truman State," Campbell said.
The team returned from a training trip to the Bahamas before leaving for Nebraska a little more than a week ago. Campbell said it was one of the team's best training trips and the women trained harder on this
trip than ever before.
"Coming off of this training trip we had girls sick, but we needed to focus on going from training mode to race m o d e . " Campbell said.

The swim and dive team did not have time to rest before the meet.
"We're in the middle of hard training and we're not supposed to feel rested," senior captain Miranda Isaac said.
Truman State is the four-time NCAA Division II National Champion. The Bulldogs are 5-2 in dual meets and defeated Missouri 108-96. The Missouri Tigers served the University one of its four Big 12 Conference defeats this season in late October.
PETER DAVIDSON
With the exception of three events, Kansas swept first place. Isaac performed well in both of
her events. She faced Truman State's Michaela Osborn in the 100-yard and 200- yard breaststroke events. Osborn touched the wall in the 100-meter race 5

seconds before Isaac, but the roles were reversed in the 200. Isaac captured first place by almost a second with a time of 2:22.36.
"I was thinking 'get the job done.' I didn't want her to make a move first," Isaac said.
Other stand-out performances included those of senior captain Amy Gruber, freshman Terri Schramka, sophomore Lia Poglioli and senior captain Becca Zarazan.
Junior Lindsey Urbatchka took first place in the 100-yard butterfly with a time of 57.02. a swim with which Campbell was
impressed.
"She had a great training trip and a great swim today," Campbell said.
On the diving front, sophomore Jenny Roberts took first place in the 1-meter diving event with a final score of 258.15. Junior Casey Topol walked away as the winner of the 3-meter competition with a score of 283.80.
The Jayhawks were pleased with their victory.
"We really stepped up after a hard week," Isaac said. "We were more worried about focusing on ourselves and how we were doing."
The Jayhawks face back-toback away meets on Jan. 28 and 29 against Drury and Arkansas, but Campbell is confident in the team.
"We're healing from our training trip, getting into race mode, and we came out of this meet a couple of steps ahead."

Welcome back to Kansas.
Oh yeah, this is going to be great.

Last piece of ice in Kansas.
Todav's Birthday (01-24-05).
Today's birthday (01-24-05)
There are complications associated with travel this year, but they don't have to stop you.
Sure, planning and work are required, but that just makes the prize sweeter.
Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is a 6
Clean up the mess, including apologizing, if necessary. Arrange your social calendar to have some cuddle time tonight.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today is a 7.
Use what you've learned in the past to help you reach your next big decision. Don't be stopped where you were before, however. There's no fun in that.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
Today is a 6.
Your natural curiosity is about to get tweaked again. In order to get where you want to go, there's a whole lot more to learn. Dig in.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Today is a 7.
It's a little too soon to mail.
It's a little too soon to make
HOROSCOPES
more changes in your living arrangements. There's more money coming in for the next few days. Make your decision after then.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Today is a 6.
This is not a good day to take risks, even if you feel confident you are right. The odds are better that things won't go as expected. Proceed with caution.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Today is a 7
Today is a 7.
Finding the perfect gift for a person who usually does without is a worthwhile gesture. Others are inspired to do the same, and old hurts are healed.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Today is a 7.
Don't be too exuberant or overenthusiastic. No giggling or jumping up and down, either. Be cool, and you'll make more points.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Today is a 7.
Some of the paperwork that's
been plaguing you never has to
be done. Sort through and discard that, and do the other stuff.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Today is a 7.
If you're the one with the checkbook, you have to enforce the rules. It's a tough job, but you can do it. Simply ignore temptation.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today is a 6.
Figure out what you're going to need, and how much it's going to cost. Spend more time on the discussion and you'll spend less money in the stores.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.18) Today is a 6.
Take care when traveling — the course will be more complex than expected. It's best to drive defensively, so you don't get blindsided. Otherwise, enjoy.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today is a 7.
An outing to visit friends is still slightly out of reach. Continue to add to your savings account, and visit via phone instead.

BRAGGING: Hawks rack up Border Showdown points
CONTINUED FROM 1B
play of Kansas juniors, forward Crystal Kemp and guard Erica Hallman.
Producing from the perimeter and dishing the ball to Kemp, Hallman put up 16 points and posted six assists. She accounted for all of the Kansas scoring from long-range by hitting four of seven three-point attempts, including both of her second-half shots.
In one two-minute stretch in the second half, Hallman nailed two three-point shots, recorded two assists and one steal. The burst of life helped Kansas score on six consecutive possessions to keep pace with the Tigers.
"Everything was clicking offensively," Hallman said. "We got some looks on threes and
everyone was knocking their shots down."
Accurate shooting from the perimeter after halftime helped pave the way for Kemp's huge second half.
Kemp finished with 22 points and 14 rebounds, seven of which came on the offensive end. The offensive rebounds proved vital to the Kansas team, which was faced with a Missouri team that featured a much taller lineup.
"Once Erica started hitting outside shots, it really made things easier for me," Kemp said. "She deserves a lot of credit for our inside game."
"She was incredible," Missouri coach Cindy Stein said of Kemp. "It is like she has suction cups on her hands for rebounds."
The loss pushed Missouri to 7-10 (1-5) and extended its loss

Senior guard Aquanita Burras drives to the basket during the first half of the home game against Missouri Saturday night. Burras had 12 points and four steals for the game, and the Jayhawks left with a 63-81 victory.
KEMP: Dominating the court
CONTINUED FROM 1B
Saturday night's victory. She also finished with a game-high 22 points, just four shy of her career mark. Down the stretch, she took the game into her own hands, scoring 14 points in the second half. Whenever the Jayhawks needed a big basket, Kemp had the answer.
"I was just thinking that I had to score," Kemp said. "The fact that they did not double team was a plus. I felt that one-on-one I had a really good chance to score, so I just did what I had to do."
Her teammates are used to seeing dominating performances from Kemp out on the court, but even they were impressed by her performance on Saturday.
"She had a great game," junior guard Eric Hallman said. "She played 59 minutes, and they were all productive minutes."
"Nobody can stop Crystal
when she gets going. She needs to be a machine like that all of the time for us on the boards."
Hallman added 16 points of her own and contributed six assists in the win.
Aquanita Burras
In those team-high 39 minutes, Kemp also added four assists and two blocks. She was 11 for 15 from the field which helped her
improve a field goal shooting percentage, which already ranks among the league's best.
"Nobody can stop Crystal when she gets going," senior guard Aquamita Burras said. "She needs to be a machine like that all of the time for us on the boards."
Burras played 38 minutes and contributed 12 points.
If the Jayhawks hope to start a winning streak on the road in Colorado tomorrow, they will need Kemp to continue doing what she did Saturday.

Basketball Notes:
■ As if the Jayhawks didn't have enough problems on their
hands after Saturday's game...
On top of the game meltdown,
their charter flight got canceled
because of a snow storm in
Philadelphia.
They had to stay an additional night in the city and took an early flight out yesterday morning.
Freshman C.J. Giles did not play in Saturday's game because of a bruised foot.
- The 21-point loss was the worst suffered by Kansas seniors Mike Lee, Keith Langford, Aaron Miles and Wayne Simien.
Only three undefeated teams remain in NCAA men's college basketball: Duke, Illinois and Boston College. BC pulled out a one-point victory, at home, against Villanova last Wednesday.
Self said that he could have played but he chose not to insert him. Giles will wear a boot on the foot for a while, Self said.
Forward Moulaye Niang did not travel with the team to Philadelphia because he was sick with the flu.

PHILLY FANS:
CONTINUED FROM 1B
But we sat in our seats, watched the fans leave, deflected "Kansas sucks" and other thoughtful comments and exited, at least physically, unscathed. One fan even congratulated us on the Jayhawks recent success.
Championship-starved city deserves its victories
dued by the recent successes of their other local sports teams.
Perhaps the fans were sub-
"Villanova today, the Eagles tomorrow," one fan yelled as he left the court.
And he was right. After three consecutive losses in the conference championship game, the Eagles will play in the second Super Bowl in franchise history on Feb. 6.
"The city needed this. We were due," said Ken Michaels, Philadelphia sports fan since the 1960s.
Eight major cities in the United States have professional sports teams in all four major sports: baseball, basketball, football and hockey. Philly is the only city without a championship in the last 11 years. Th
city's last major championship, a Flyers' Stanley Cup victory, came 18 years ago.
So try to be happy for the country's most championship-starved major market.
After all, it was just a nonconference game.

Police issuing more citations for noise
BY JOUSHUA BICKEL
jbickel@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Partygoers at a house on the 1200 block of Louisiana Street saw the Lawrence Police Department's new noise ordinance in action Saturday night.
A police officer came to the house around midnight and told everyone to go home after a neighbor called to complain about the noise. The residents of the house quickly ushered out as many people as they could to avoid a noise citation.
"It's gotta stop," said David Holroyd, a Lawrence resident for 32 years and the neighbor who called the police. "They need to realize that there's other people around here."
This weekend, the Lawrence Police Department began enforcing a new way of reporting noise disturbances. Now officers don't have to contact the complaining party to issue a noise citation.
This makes it easier for police to enforce the noise ordinance and issue

Admissions takes show on road
Multicultural Road Show focuses recruitment on minority students

dltt@kansan.com STAFF WINTER
University of Kansas admissions representatives will travel to Wichita, Topeka and Kansas City, Kan., this week as part of the Multicultural Road Show. The road show emphasizes recruitment of minority students at the University.
Kerri Lesh, Multicultural Road Show coordinator, said the road show was the spring spin-off of the Rock Chalk Road Show, which targeted recruitment in Western and Central
Kansas in the fall.
"The difference is that the Multicultural Road Show is more focused," said Lesh, who is also an admissions counselor. "It is tweaked as to who we are looking for and invite."
Five admissions representatives will visit community centers, churches, boys and girls clubs, other nonprofit organizations, middle schools and high schools. The representatives will leave information about the University and meet with students to discuss the University as a possibility for them.
ered any official statistics, but the program has received a good response said Claudia Mercado, assistant director of admissions and scholarships.
According to University Relations, in 2004 the number of minority firsttime freshmen rose 10 percent, and the overall minority enrollment rose 4 percent.
The reception includes representatives from the Office of Multicultural Affairs and the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics. Among topics discussed are KU traditions, athletics, academics and financial aid. The evening concludes with door prizes, refreshments and pictures with Baby Jay.
"We don't expect to see immediate results," Mercado said. "If it was a program of direct results, it would be promoted to seniors rather than being marketed to those as young as 5th grade.
High school students in 9th to 12th grades are invited to a reception in the

New name and focus for CLAS department
BY NATE KARLIN
nkarin@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
After 40 years of existence at the University of Kansas, the department of Human Development and Family Life has changed its name and its focus.
The department, which is housed in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, is now called Applied Behavioral Science. The change was made at the start of this semester.
In addition to the new title, the department will also place more emphasis on developmental disabilities and applied behavior, as well as other studies in human behavior.
The name change was initiated about four years ago with the hiring
"H ow do the
students tell their parents what Human Development and Family Life is? It's kind of hard."
Ed Morris ABS chairman
of two faculty members who specialize in developmental disabilities, said Ed Morris, professor and ABS chairman.
The former department was a combination of behavioral, developmental and cognitive psychology, but the department had to change its focus after several professors resigned.
The focus of the HDFL department, which began in 1964, never adequately described the department's greatest strength of applied behavior, Morris said.
"How do the students tell their parents what Human Development and Family Life is? It's kind of hard," he said. "Applied Behavioral Science makes a lot better sense."

Luminary walk honors civil rights activist

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The crowd gathered under the light from a street lamp in front of Wescoe Hall last night as Santos Nuñez, director of the Multicultural Resource Center welcomed them to the "Walking the Dream" luminary march.
The event comes a week after Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday. Robert Page, director of the office of multicultural affairs, said this was the first time that the University had held a campuswide event honoring King's legacy.
At each milestone students lit a candle and spoke about King's life.
The participants silently marched down Jayhawk Boulevard holding luminaries in remembrance of King. The walk centered on five key milestones in King's life: his birth, graduation from Morehouse College in Atlanta, writing "Letter from Birmingham Jail" after his arrest, his famous 1963 "I Have a Dream" speech and his assassination on April 4, 1968.
"The luminary walk is depicting just how much the struggle was for equality and for racial justice," Page said.
THE HIGH SCHOOL MARKETING COMPANY
The Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc., in which King was once a member, worked in conjunction with the MRC on the "Walking the Dream" presentation.
The walk was used as a reminder of past marches that King organized.
Inspirational Gospel Voices, a University-affiliated gospel group, performed before and after Dupree's speech. Marlesa Roney, vice provost of student success, closed the ceremony with a final speech.
"I'm hoping people will experience a life that was truly amazing. Hopefully people will be touched by the strife that he had to go to," said Anthony Brown, Grandview senior and president of the Upsilon chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha.
Tim Dupree, the first black prosecutor in Emporia, was the keynote speaker. Among topics he discussed were the challenges King faced and his accomplishments.
Candles were left under the Jayhawk statue in front of the entrance of the Kansas Union. The lights flickered as students continued into the building for the remainder of the program.
About 35 people participated in the march

The KU Public Safety Office is currently investigating a break-in in the Military Science Building, located south of Budig Hall.
The incident occurred sometime between 12:05 and 3:35 a.m. on Jan. 20.

Two windows valued at $100 each were damaged.

Weekend snowstorm still hinders New Englanders DENNIS, Mass. — Commuters
across the Northeast straggled back to work on icy roads and packed trains Monday as the region struggled to dig out from a paralyzing weekend blizzard.
Some Massachusetts residents were trapped at home.
Massachusetts saw the most snow 38 inches in cities north and south of Boston. As much as 21 inches of snow blanketed parts of New Jersey, where the morning commute was crippled by delays of more than an hour.
Cities to the south of Boston got heavy, wet snow that that turned to ice in single-digit overnight weather. In Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket scattered power outages persisted and roads remained unplowed yesterday afternoon.
Many towns had abandoned plowing efforts while wind piled the heavy snow into gigantic drifts.
A state of emergency remains in effect for Massachusetts.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Federal transportation officials say it could be more than a year before they know why a twin-engine plane crashed into an affluent neighborhood of suburban Kansas City, Kan., last week, killing all five people aboard.
National Transportation Safety Board investigators finished their work Saturday night at the crash site in Overland Park, NTSB spokesman Mitch Gallo said. He said it was too early to speculate about a possible cause of the Friday morning crash.
The agency could make its final determination in 12 to 18 months.
The Cessna 421C Golden Eagle III crashed shortly after taking off from Johnson County Executive Airport. It clipped a street lamp and several trees as it broke up, then hit the home of former Kansas City Royals pitcher Jason Grimsley.
Killed in the crash were Lewis Bradley Smith, 73, of Kansas City, Mo.; Armour D. Stephenson Jr., 49; his wife, Shirley F. Stephenson, 46, both of Lee's Summit; Kevin W. Holzer, 50; and pilot James L. Kingston, 60, both of Stilwell. Kevin W. Holzer, 50, also of Stilwell.

Lawmakers debate death penalty rewrite
TOPEKA, Kan. — Legislators should wait for a potential U.S. Supreme Court decision before attempting to rewrite the state's death penalty law, the parents of a capital murder victim said yesterday.
Barbara and Duane Oblander, of Goddard, attended a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on a bill drafted in response to a Kansas Supreme Court decision in December that struck down the 1994 law. Attorney General Phill Kline plans to appeal the ruling to the nation's high court.
The Oblanders agreed with prosecutors who worry the U.S. Supreme Court won't review the Kansas court's decision if legislators rewrite the law.
Left turns prohibited on 23rd Street
In a 4-3 decision, the Kansas court said the state's death penalty law was unconstitutional because of a provision on how juries weigh evidence for and against imposing a death sentence. The law says that if the evidence is about equal — which prosecutors contend will be rare — a jury must recommend death.

A series of 12 signs located along 23rd Street between Louisiana Street and Haskell Avenue now restrict left turns to relieve rush-hour traffic.
The signs, which read "No Left Turn," prohibit left turns between 4 and 6 p.m. onto seven streets along 23rd Street.
The area has experienced a high number of traffic accidents, most of which have been rear-end accidents, said Chuck Soules, director of the city's Public Works department.
The signs will go through a trial period during which the city will determine their effectiveness this spring. Soules said.
"I've been on that darn street, and it's bad, especially between four and six and during KU games," Soules said. "You just inch forward."
As part of the trial process, the department has created a link on its Web site at www.lawrencepublicworks.org to gather feedback on the signs.
"We've already had several people say that it's about time we did this." Soules said. "But there has been some concern that this will limit residents' access to neighborhoods and cause more congestion at the Louisiana intersection."
For Michele Williams, Park Hill neighborhood resident, the project poses both a problem and a solution.
"I think it will improve traffic congestion during rush hour," Williams said. "But I think congestion at 23rd and Louisiana will happen. It takes a large amount of traffic, especially when University employees leave work and come down Louisiana."
The main entry into Park Hill is through Vermont Street, where left turns have been prohibited. Park Hill neighborhood is located southeast of the intersection of 23rd and Louisiana Streets.
Williams now uses Louisiana Street to get home, she said.
Ashley Burkemper, St. Louis junior, works at Endless Summer Tan, 2223 Louisiana St. Congested traffic on
Louisiana often made left turns difficult, but the signs should make a difference, Burkemper said.
The signs are usually effective if they're noticed and enforced, said David Woosley, city traffic engineer.
Orange flags are attached to each of the signs to make them more noticeable.
Disobeying the sign is prohibited by law. Enforcement is currently in an educational enforcement stage, said Sgt. Dan Ward, Lawrence Police Department spokesman.
During this stage police will issue warnings instead of citations. Ward said.
If the signs relieve accident rates and congestion, the city will consider installing similar signs along Iowa Street between 9th and 15th Streets, Soules said.
"We would like to see accidents reduced and safety improved," Soules said. "It has worked in Kansas City and Topeka, so we think it will work here."

Research may lead to greater yield from Kansas oil wells
By TY BEAVER
teaver@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WINTER
The sight of an abandoned oil pump in the fields throughout Kansas isn't rare. Jenn-Tai Liang, associate professor of chemical and petroleum engineering, and his fellow researchers may be able to change that.
Thanks to a $1 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy, Liang will be able to study the use of molecules called biosurfacants to recover oil from reservoirs in carbonate rock. Such reservoirs are common in central and western
Kansas, where wells are idle due to high operating costs and stranded oil.
"At times, you're pumping out ten times more water than oil," Kansas Geological Survey senior scientist Tim Carr said.
Surfacants are used to produce oil from wells that no longer flow naturally or are resistant to waterflooding. Surfacants work in a way similar to dishwashing detergent. Currently, chemical surfacants in high concentrations are injected into an oil well with water. The surfacant interacts with the rock of the reservoir to make it more water-absorbent. The rock then
sucks up the water while releasing trapped oil.
Chemical surfacants are expensive, however, and many smaller oil companies and operators cannot afford them. They could also be harmful toward the environment. Liang said that while a goal of the project was to make the technology available to private enterprise, that wasn't why the Department of Energy was funding the project.
"The DOE is particularly interested in the environmental aspect of the project," Liang said. "Their entire mission is advocating the beneficial reuse
of organic materials to produce energy."
Working with the KU School of Engineering's Tertiary Oil Recovery Project and the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory, Liang will study how dilute concentrations of biosurfacant interact with carbonate reservoirs and how much oil can be drawn with their use. One of the project's goals is to understand why the surfacant makes the rock more water-absorbent. The biosurfacant is the product of a bacteria feeding off high-starch agricultural waste from potato, rice, or wheat processing plants. It is
the same bacteria used to clean the Exxon Valdez oil spill in 1989.
Kansas produces a significant amount of the oil in the United States. KU engineer Richard Pancake said much of that oil was high quality by market standards, with an API gravity of 40 and low sulfur content. And there is no shortage. Pancake estimated that 60 percent of the supply was still in the ground. Carr said that Liang's research could potentially add 30 more years of recovery to the states reservoirs.

Iraq's success hinges on election's outcome
On Jan. 30 President George W. Bush will watch with eyes fixed on a television screen anxiously awaiting the results of the Iraqi democratic election. What few around him will notice is that hiding behind his confident demeanor will be a desperate and nervous man.
Although re-elected to a second term, the outcome of the Jan. 30 election and the following results will not only set the tone for the rest of Bush's presidency, but it may also be the moment for which he is remembered for in history. The results of the election will be the deciding factor about the success of a questionable and heavily debated war.
The world in which the newly elected leaders will find themselves will be a violent and uncertain will. American soldiers are at work training an Iraqi military, and the shurta (police) are beginning to enforce law, if only in a few areas. But this was unable to stop the killing of Baghdad's governor, Ali al-Haidari, on Jan. 4. It seems Iraq sees bloodshed on a daily basis. United States military personnel are almost helpless to most threats like concealed bombs or remote detonated devices. A lot must be done in the coming months if Iraq is to stage a democratic government.
A struggling security force is not the only problem Iraq faces. The election will be contested amongst more than a dozen political parties, the divisions of which represent many of the religious and ethnic differences found throughout the country. Furthering complication is the forecasted election boycott by Iraq's Sunni population. This will allow an almost certain domination by the Shia majority.
Not to be counted out, however, are the Kurds, a Christian minority, who are predicted to win many votes in the northern provinces. Other groups vying for seats in the new government
include Turkomen, Yazidis and a few others representing Christian minorities. Just as diverse as the candidates are the platforms they represent. Ranging from liberal secularism to communism, the Iraqi population will have a diverse selection to choose from.
But even if the election goes well there is still one glaring factor impeding success. Can a democracy function in an Islamic state? Many Muslims will not be ready for the secularism democracy will bring to the country, which raises fears of a fast disintegration of the newvl formed government.
When one thinks of the problems America has with the separation between church and state, such as creationism as science, prayer in school and the suppression of "foreign" religions, it is hard to even begin to forecast the problems that a state such as Iraq will have. All Washington can hope for is the election of a more secularized ruler who will be able to wrangle the issue of Islam within the state and be sensitive to the other religious minorities within Iraq.
Whatever the outcome, Americans will feel the results of the election quickly. The success of the new government will solidify a presently hazy and undecided exit strategy for U.S. military forces. On the flip side a debacle with the election or the time there after will most certainly spell more time in Iraq for American G.I.s.
It is almost impossible to predict how the election will turn out and even more difficult to forecast how a new Iraq will shape itself. The only thing that is certain is that whatever happens will take time. There will be highs and lows, but through all of it one must be as Bush will be on Jan. 30 — optimistic and hopeful.

Democrats need to overhaul image
At the Democratic National Convention, the hip-hop group Black Eyed Peas played a tweaked version of their song, "Let's Get Retarded." Shortly thereafter, the Democrats nominated John Kerry. Six months later, and two and a half months after the Democratic Party cemented its position as a large minority party in American politics, that situation points to just one of the problems the Democrats have faced and will continue to face in their continuing quest for American political dominance. If the Democrats want anything more than pity from swing voters in America, they'll need to make some changes.
COMMENTARY
Shortly after the election, an Internet
The Black Eyed Peas incident was not the only example of the Democrats' mix of music and politics. The marriage between the donkey party and pop culture was obvious during the election. From the Hollywood Bush-bashing parties to Rock for Change concerts to MTV's "non-partisan" Rock the Vote campaign urging young people — reliable liberals but unreliable voters — to "Vote or Die," Democrats put their hopes on P. Diddy, Eminem and the 18-24 voting bloc. The plan back-fired. The "mobilized" young voters didn't swing the election for Kerry, and Bush was able to use the popculture pandering as a campaign tool when he made note that Kerry called a group of Hollywood liberal millionaires "the heart of America." Maybe if the Democrats treated young people as an intelligent and concerned demographic instead of voters in a popularity contest, they'd have a better chance at mobilizing would-be young voters.
VINCE MYERS
opinion@kansan.com
Since the map surfaced, many liberals have mocked the red states with the term "jesusland." I suppose it's easier to lose an election if you can mock the victors afterwards as blindly faithful zealots. Though many faithful Christians within the red states are probably not terribly insulted by the name, they do understand that it isn't meant as a compliment.
Democrats must realize they can't win a presidential election, nor can they win control of Congress, without winning support from some of those red states. If you need people to support you, mocking them is not the best idea. Not that I mind — so long as Democrats alienate Jesusland, this will be a Republican nation. For their own sake, though, Democrats might try understanding religion instead of mocking it.
During the election season, the
Democrats promoted themselves as the anti-Bush option. Now that the election is over, the Democrats ought to be preparing a platform for the 2006 and 2008 elections. Instead, they seem to be relying on the same "Anything But Bush" dogma that got them into this mess in the first place.
That problem is well-illustrated by the recent debates over new chairman of the Democratic National Committee. When former Indiana congressman Tim Roemer announced his candidacy for the chairmanship, the Democratic pro-choice union went up-in-arms over Roemer's pro-life stance.
The Democrats are unwilling to embrace a chairman who agrees with Bush. As Massachusetts Democratic Party Chairman Phil Johnston said in a written statement, "It would be extremely foolish if the DNC were lead by a chair who agrees with the Bush administration's position on abortion."
Foolish? It's foolish that Democrats are content with a party vision built only on opposing Bush — the same vision that cost them in 2004. Apparently, dissent is disallowed in Democratic circles.
The Democrats need a public relations makeover. The party has defendable positions that even we feeble Jesuslandians could understand if presented in the right light. Democrats will see progress when they find a way to connect with the religious and create a platform for making the country better. It will also help if they abstain from getting retarded.

Cosmetic surgery careening to trend
A few weeks ago during an everyday chat with some girlfriends, I discovered something shocking. Plastic surgery is now normal. Not only is it normal, my friends seemed to consider it a simple solution to the problems of aging on the female body.
COMMENTARY
As I listened to my friends discuss eye lifts, boob jobs, botox and liposuction, the words seemed to run together in my head.
I was surprised that my friends, who seemed so self-confident, so comfortable with who they are, were instead comfortable with turning into plastic, Barbie-like figurines. How could the same girls who made fun of the airbrushed models in the Victoria's Secret catalog completely change their opinions when it was their own bodies?
GABRIELLA SOUZA opinion@kansan.com
I decided to research the issue of plastic surgery with an open mind, thinking, even if it was not for me, maybe there were a few justified reason s for this seemingly unnecessary evil. I asked one of my friends for her reason behind plastic surgery.
1
At first she was hesitant, but after a little probing, she admitted to wanting to "better her physical appearance," and that this was a "less drastic change than liposuction or butt implants."
I took an online quiz, which asked,
"Should You Get Plastic Surgery?"
When I got my results back, I was an "ideal candidate" for a little nip and tuck.
"The ideal candidate is one who really likes who she is and the way she looks, with the exception of one feature that she wants to change," said Z. Paul Lorenc, M.D., in his book, A Little Work: Behind the Doors of a Park Avenue Plastic Surgeon.
This seemed unrealistic. Apparently, the perfect candidate for plastic surgery is someone with one flaw that she hates about herself and spends time obsessing about a bumpy nose, a slightly smaller upper lip or a tubby tummy. Instead of loving all of herself and understanding that her so-called flaw is part of who she is, she sees it as the one imperfection that ruins her beauty.
Statistics published by the American Institute of Plastic Surgery report that 45 percent of plastic surgery patients were repeat patients in 2003, a number that increases every year. This means that in
numerous cases, women who have one surgery suddenly find another body part they hate and decide to change it.
This frame of mind leads to surgeries stemming from a body dismorphic disorder, which occurs when someone has unrealistic expectations for what she believes she should look like, said board certified psychiatrist Renee Kohanski in an article published by the Northeastern University School of Journalism.
Kohanski said that with this disorder, women will never be satisfied no matter how much work they have done.
I did not see how someone with a body dismorphic disorder could possibly be self-confident in the beginning. This was all the evidence I needed to prove that this potential fix for an annoying body will not fix anything.
I ended my research wondering if plastic surgery would become an accepted part of life. I wondered if trips to the plastic surgeon were a fix to whatever ails. I hoped our culture would never stoop to such materialism.
But I realized that the only control I had over this was to live my life the way I wanted. It is up to everyone else to decide what to do with theirs.

Ruling expands police use of drug dog searches
WASHINGTON
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON The Supreme Court ruled yesterday that police can have dogs check motorists' vehicles for drugs even if officers have no particular reason to suspect illegal activity.
The 6-2 opinion, written by Justice John Paul Stevens, stipulates police dogs may sniff only the outside of a car after a motorist is lawfully stopped for a traffic violation, such as speeding or failing to stop at a stop sign.
But privacy rights advocates said the ruling would lead to far more traffic stops as a way to find drugs. They also warned that the decision could open the door to more expansive searches, from sniffs inside the vehicle to checks of parked cars and pedestrians on the street.
Before yesterday's ruling, the Supreme Court had authorized drug dogs primarily to sniff luggage at airports.
"The use of dogs is intimidating," said Harvey Grossman, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union in Chicago. "Thousands of motorists have called complaining about suddenly finding their cars surrounded by policemen and drug
dogs. Now no one is safe from this major intrusion into our lives."
Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan, who argued the case, called the ruling a victory for law enforcement in the war on drugs.
The case involves Roy Caballes, who was stopped by Illinois police in 1998 for driving 6 mph over the speed limit. Although Caballes lawfully produced his driver's license, troopers brought over a drug dog after noticing air freshener in the car and noting Caballes appeared nervous.
The dog indicated drugs were in the trunk, and police searched it even though Caballes refused to give permission. They found $250,000 worth of marijuana, and Caballes was convicted of drug trafficking.
The verdict was thrown out by the Illinois Supreme Court, which ruled the search was improper because police had no particular reason to suspect Caballes had drugs.
In his opinion, Stevens reversed the state court ruling, saying the intrusion was too minimal to invoke constitutional protection.
"A dog sniff conducted during a concededly lawful traffic stop that reveals no information
other than the location of a substance that no individual has any right to possess does not violate the Fourth Amendment." Stevens wrote.
In a dissent, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg bemoaned what she called the broadening of police search powers, saying the use of drug dogs would make routine traffic stops longer and more adversarial. She was joined in her dissent by Justice David H. Souter.
The court has long held that traffic stops should be brief since police often use them as a pretext to question motorists about other suspected illegal activity. Critics argue that authorities now will have wide power to check a car without consent, even if a police dog proved to be wrong about the presence of drugs.
"Under today's decision, every traffic stop could become an occasion to call in the dogs, to the distress and embarrassment of the law-abiding population." Ginsburg wrote, citing the danger that police could soon conduct "suspicionless, dog-accompanied drug sweeps" of parked cars or cars stopped at red lights.
The state of Illinois' appeal was supported by 28 states and several law enforcement groups.
NEW NAME: Old name confusing to students
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
The change has not hurt enrollment, Morris said. In fact, he said he hoped it would aid undergraduate recruitment.
Some students said they thought the name change would be beneficial.
Many students don't consider HDFL a serious major because they don't understand what it teaches, said Kelly K忍giestin, San Antonio junior
and HDFL minor.
"ABS, I think, makes it up there with other majors that aren't blowoff majors." Keniestein said.
She said she would continue with the HDFL program because she didn't have enough time to complete the additional three hours added to the major.
"It's a more defining, more accurate name for the major," Simpson, Tulsa, Okla., senior, said of ABS.
Students who joined the HDFL program before the Fall 2004 semester have a choice to graduate with an HDFL major or to switch to ABS. Students who joined the department last semester or after, however, must graduate with an ABS major.

Google technology to index broadcast television content
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — Google Inc. is using its popular Internet search technology to find information and images broadcast on television, continuing a recent effort to extend its reach beyond the Web.
The Mountain View-based company planned to introduce the new video service today; it will be operated separately from the search engine offered on Google's home page.
The feature pinpoints content previously aired on a variety of television networks by scanning through the closed caption text that many programmers offer.
Google's service, which began storing information last month, includes programming from ABC, PBS, Fox News and C-SPAN.
people's lives," said Jonathan Rosenberg, Google's vice president of product management. "Ultimately, we would like to have all TV programming indexed."
"We think TV is a big part of
Search engine analyst Charlene Li of Forrester Research said Google's latest innovation was likely to disappoint many people because it doesn't provide a direct link to watch the previously broadcast programming.
Google instead is displaying up to five still video images from the indexed television programs, as well as snippets from the show's narrative.
The search results also will provide a breakdown on when the program aired and when an episode is scheduled to be repeated.
Local programming information will be available for those who provide a ZIP code.
Rival search engine Yahoo Inc. also has been tinkering with a product that finds video available for Webcasts.
Hoping to counter Google's initiative, Yahoo planned to step up the promotion of its video search tools today.
If the Google and Yahoo services attract a following, more television programmers may be compelled to provide better online access to their content. Li said. "Video search is going to be a very long-term play."
The TV product represents Google's latest attempt to get a better handle on the reams of information that isn't stored on Web pages.
The company recently set out to scan millions of books from several major libraries into its search engine and is offering a program that finds material stored on computer hard drives.
PARTY: Enforced ordinance may end loud parties

citations rather than just responding to complaints, said Sgt. Dan Ward of the Lawrence Police Department.
The new way of reporting noise disturbances will help officers handle the situation in a more timely manner, Ward said. It allows the 10 to 12 officers responsible for the entire city to respond to other, more serious crimes, he said.
This weekend the police department issued three noise citations and received 24 calls of noise disturbances. The citations were issued because the police officer was called back to the scene of the disturbance, Ward said.
"Before, we never used to issue citations, so this is definitely an increase." Ward said.
The police department receives eight to 10 noise disturbance calls every Thursday, Friday and Saturday on average, Ward said.
Ward said he hoped heavier enforcement of the noise ordinance would lead to a decrease in the number of calls.
Ricky McClure, Dallas sophomore, said that he had hosted parties where police responded. He said he tried to work with his neighbors to avoid a call to the police department.
It's when McClure's neighbors don't come to him first that bothers him.
"If my neighbors don't inform me, what the hell do I do?" he said.
Despite the new procedure for reporting noise disturbances, the police probably
won't target students specifically, McClure said. The police are just doing their job, he said.
Holroyd said he hoped the new style of enforcement would deter late-night parties and the litter that usually follows.
"I don't care if there's a party, they just need to stop earlier," Holroyd said.
Once the the party on Louisiana Street broke up, Holroyd called a friend, who owned the house where the party was.
He said he didn't expect as many noisy parties next door.
"It's not the first time I've called him," he said. "But it will be the last."

MILES: Senior has good shot at assists record
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 10A
score as much as those other point guards. He doesn't have to. Miles has never even been close to the first scoring option for the Jayhawks. In his three plus years at Kansas, he has never been better than the fourth of fifth scoring option. Playing alongside All-American's Drew Gooden and Nick Collison, and Kirk Hinrich as well, doesn't afford a point guard many opportunities to be selfish. The Jayhawks have never needed his offense.
What he has done is become a better passer, a better rebounder, a more tenacious defender, and he never shies away from the big moment — such as the shot in Columbia two years ago, against Missouri, which tied the game and sent the match to overtime. These qualities alone make him
an elite point guard. Miles will not drop 20 points on a given night, but you can always count on him to set his teammates up, take care of the ball, defend without regard and play as hard as he can.
On top of that, Miles has a chance to become the fifth player in NCAA history to reach 1000 career assists. Including the regular season, if the Hawks were to make it into the finals of the Big 12 tournament and NCAA tournament, KU would play 21 more games. Miles would have to average 7.52 assists per game to reach 1000. He'll probably fall a little short finishing in the neighborhood of 975 career assists. Kansas doesn't shoot well enough or score enough for Miles to rack up the assists.
If you want Miles to score more, he needs to take more shots. This season Miles is averaging a miniscule 5.9 field goal attempts per game. Compare that with Diener (13.4), Thomas (12.8), Paul (9.6), Jack (9.2), and Felton (7.8). If Miles took as many shots per game as them, his offensive numbers would be similar, if not better. You have to take into consideration that most of the point guards on the Cousy Award list are number one scoring options for their teams, especially Thomas, Diener, and Jack.
Kansas' biggest weakness this season has been it's inability to score in bunches and to score consistently. If Miles wants a chance for the Cousy Award, 1,000 assists, or to hold a big trophy at the end of the season, he may have to do something he's never had to do before. Score.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
As Tom Brady prepares for his third Super Bowl and Ben Roethlisberger heads home, Roethlisberger's playoff struggles only accentuate how remarkable Brady's 8-0 postseason record is.
Brady threw two touchdown passes in the Patriots' 41-27 victory against Pittsburgh in Sunday's AFC championship game.
Brady took over in 2001 for the injured Drew Bledsoe in the second regular-season game after throwing just three passes as a rookie. Four months later, he was the Super Bowl MVP.
"I've had so many good people around me to help me. It's a team effort, not my effort," he said.
New England is a 7-point favorite over Philadelphia as New England seeks to win its third Super Bowl in four seasons on Feb. 6 in Jacksonville.
But Brady is a remarkable athlete himself. To find out just how remarkable, one need only look as far as Roethlisberger's playoff troubles.
Sunday's win broke the record set a decade ago by Troy Aikman for playoff victories by a quarterback at the start of a career.
He had the best rookie season ever by a quarterback, with 14 straight wins, eight more than the next best. But he hit the wall in the AFC championship game.

two-point victory.
The difference in these previous two contests was a more potent offensive attack coming out of the locker room.
Scoring production has been an issue for the second half Jayhawks, but against both the Aggies and the Tigers, they have achieved above-average scoring production. The Jayhawks offense averages 28 points per game after the break, but has put up more than 55, on average, in the last two outings.
cution was solid," Henrickson said. "We got kind of soft, but turned it on to finish the second half."
Although the Jayhawks fought back against the Aggies, the game was lost on rebounding. The Jayhawks surrendered 18 offensive boards to the Aggies while grabbbing only nine.
"I thought our offensive exe-

spark for Kansas against Missouri was an impressive showing on the boards against a taller Missouri team. Junior forward Crystal Kemp led the way by grabbing 14 rebounds, seven of which were offensive.
The second chances created easy scores that helped Kansas secure its first conference victory in a highly contested game.
Keying the late offensive
With a victory over Colorado, Kansas would take sole possession of ninth place in the conference.

running is the alternative.

Setting goals establishes a better routine, whether for running or exercising in general. Whether it's reaching a specific weight, training for a race, or merely wanting to look better for spring break, setting a target gives a person more motivation to accomplish it, Aschemeyer said.
"Having a goal is the best idea," she said. "If it's a 5K race, or even a one-mile race, it could be losing weight, depending on the person."

"It's easy to find excuses to get out of it," Gardner said. "You got to push yourself and be disciplined."
Running does not force students to embrace solidarity, however. Gardner said he thought social running added another motivational factor to training.
"When you run with your friends, you all work together," he said. "One inspires the other, and you all feel better."

Conference tennis teams offer stiff competition
BY RAHUL SHARMA
sports@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWINTER
Editor's note: With the spring tennis season underway, Kansan sportswriter Rahul Sharma will preview every team in the Big 12 Conference this week. This is part one of the four-part series.
Texas
In the Big 12, the team to beat is still Texas.
TEXAS
LONGHORN8
Coach Jeff Moore, in his 23rd year with the Longhorns, has become synonymous with success. In the 2004 spring season, Moore and the Longhorns posted an 11-0 record and claimed the Big 12 regular-season championship.
For Moore, repeating will be a matter of consistency.
"We have to focus on competing consistently, match in and match out." Moore said. "My coaching style is based on holding high standards. I truly believe the higher the standards, the higher the achievements."
PATRICIA DUBBLE
For 2005, his goal is no different.
VIEIRA
"The team would like to win both titles this year." Moore added. "We are coming off the best fall season since I've been here."
one player in particular, sophomore Petra Dizdar, who last season competed at the number one singles slot, posted a 9-2 singles mark in the Big 12.
"She's matured and demonstrated excellent attitude in her training." Moore said.
Dizdar was named freshman Big 12 Player of the Year and also earned all-conference honors. Joining Dizdar will be junior Katie Ruckert, who was also named to the all-conference team.
"Katie is more experienced than anyone on our team," Moore said. "I expect her to have a great year."
PETER M. BROCKER
Ruckert played at the number two singles slot, earning a teambest 29 singles victories for the
SALURI
Longhorns last season and also contributed in doubles, as she and junior Kendra Strohm were awarded all-conference honors in doubles.
The talent exists for Texas
to continue its success, but Texas also lacks experience, as there are no seniors on the roster.
"Our players are going to have to play at a high level." Moore said. "As coaches, we are looking for consistency in both the singles and doubles."
When it comes to consistent success in the Big 12, there's Texas.
ATM
PETER
Texas A&M
and then there is Texas A&M.
The Aggies, under two-time Big 12 Coach of the Year Bobby Kleinecke, finished second behind in-state rival Texas in the regular season.
"We're hoping to continue on," Kleinecke said. "We have some holes to fill, but if we can fill those holes, we have an excellent shot."
The holes refer to all-
RUCKERT
conference star Jessica Roland and former A&M standout Roberta Spencer. All eyes will look to senior Helga Vieira to lead the Aggies in 2005.
"She is going to have to step up," Kleinecke said. "Helga is the type of player who can handle the pressure."
Vieira possesses a baseline game equipped with a solid forehand. Senior Lauren Walker, a transfer from Florida State, is considered one of the Aggies' top competitors.
POLICE
Junior Nicki Mechem also will play a vital role for the Aggies this season. Mechem possesses a wide array of shot selection and has improved her serve during the course of a year.
DIZDAR
Three freshmen enter the mix this year:
A n n a
Blagodarova,
Tiffany Clifford
and Marisa
D russ s.
Klinecke said all three have bought into the team concept.
Expect Blagodarova to make an immediate impact.
"She's very talented," Kleinecke said. "Anna likes to dictate the game."
For the tennis faithful down in Norman, Okla, life is going to be tough without Anda Perianu. The two-time
OJ
COONERS
Oklahoma
Perhaps the toughest challenge for any player at Oklahoma rests on the shoulders of senior Heather Saluri,
Big 12 Player of the Year and three-time all-conference selection has graduated.
SOONERS
who advanced to the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA championships alongside Perianu. Saluri, considered a doubles threat, is going to have to make the necessary adjustments to maintain the type of player she was with Perianu in the lineup.
Seniors Jessica Braver and Bethany Griffin provide veteran talent for the Sooners, as both combined for nine singles victories last fall.
Sophomore Gabby Baker registered a fantastic spring season from a year ago, as she compiled a combined 28-7 record in both the singles and doubles competition. She posted a solid fall season and enters 2005 ranked in the top 100 singles players in the country.
Sophomore Irina Lykina is coming off a solid freshman campaign, as she registered 10 wins in the conference.
The schedule for the Sooners is grueling, as six teams that qualified for the 2004 NCAA tournament are set to face Oklahoma in 2005.
Jayhawks put loss behind them, look ahead to Baylor
Edited by Azita Tafreshi
BY MIRANDA LENNING
mlenning@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWITTER
One disappointing loss, an unexpected overnight stay in Philadelphia, and a pantless bus driver later, things are starting to return to normal for the Kansas men's basketball program.
Yesterday the team gathered in Allen Fieldhouse for its first full practice since Saturday's 83-62 loss to Villanova with one thing on its mind: to put this past weekend behind them and focus on playing Baylor tonight.
"This is the biggest game of the season for us right now," Kansas coach Bill Self said.
and it was 5 p.m. before the luvhayks arrived in Lawrence.
It's no wonder the Jayhawks want to forget this weekend. After Saturday's embarrassing loss, their charter flight back to Lawrence was unable to take off because of a blizzard in Philadelphia, so they had to stay an extra night. Their plane didn't leave until Sunday afternoon,
Just one of the many delays for the Jayhawks came at the airport in Topeka. Their bus driver had torn his pants, and they had to wait for someone to bring their driver new pants.
"It was not the best weekend," Self said yesterday. "But we can learn from it. We played miserably, we coached miserably, and we had some bad weather."
All of the delays cut into the Jayhawks' practice time on Sunday, but they had plenty of time to watch film while they were cooped up in the hotel on Saturday night.
"That was good for us," senior guard Aaron Miles said. "We had time to have a meeting and watch tape and talk about some things."
Miles said they learned several important lessons that could eventually improve their team chemistry.
"We are not invincible." Miles
said. "We'll have to win some close games, and we can't wait until we're down to come back."
One of the problems that he has noticed lately is that Kansas hasn't had the same energy and motivation shown early in the season.
"In the big games, the energy is there," Miles said. "But in games that are not as big of games, players have to have energy. We have to bring energy every game."
Mostly what the Jayhawks have been talking about is putting the Villanova game behind them.
"I told them after we watched tape, 'I don't want to talk about this anymore.'" Self said.
After yesterday's practice, the Jayhawks hopped on another bus, this one heading to Waco, Texas. They will take on the Baylor Bears at 6:30 tonight.
"Now we just have to focus on conference play and our goals to win the Big 12," senior forward Wayne Siem said.
Self said it was good that the Jayhawks had another game so quickly.
"The best thing is that there is a quick turnaround," he said. "Our guys need to see the ball going in and have some success."
Giles Out
Before practice yesterday, freshman center C.J. Giles hobbled across the court with an oversized orthopedic boot on his right foot. He dribbled to the free-throw line and put up a lackcluster jumper while balancing on one foot.
For the next couple of weeks. Hudy and Giles will be spending a lot of time together considering that all he can do with his bruised right foot is shoot and lift weights.
"I am going to try to get up to 260." the 235-pound Giles said.
Giles said he landed on his
He made his debut in the boot before the Iowa State game, but he didn't have to wear it all the time.
"I tried to see if I could play through the pain." Giles said.
foot the wrong way after slamming down an alley-oop pass from senior guard Keith Langford during the Kentucky game on Jan. 9.
"I hate this foot man," Giles joked. "I have to wear this thing everywhere."
Giles continued to practice with the injury, but it got worse.
Ideally, Giles said that he would like to return for the Missouri game next Monday, but he doesn't think that is likely. An MRI yesterday confirmed that the injury was no more serious than a bruise, but Giles will likely be out for at least two weeks.

INSIDE THE PARK
DONALD J. PARKER
JACK WEINSTEIN
jweinstein@kansan.com
Many members of the national media as well as coaches across the country have figured out that Aaron Miles is one of the nation's top point guards. However, he is not considered to be one of the nation's elite point guards.
Miles rates among best in nation
If you visit ESPN.com and read one of the archived articles college basketball analyst Andy Katz has written, you may discover the shrine Katz has to Wake Forest sophomore point guard Chris Paul. Katz vehemently believes Paul is the front-runner for National Player of the Year, not to mention God's gift to college basketball.
If you've ever watched a North Carolina game televised on one of the ESPN networks, you may have noticed how much analyst Dick Vitale loves to talk about Tar Heels junior point guard Raymond Felton. It's hard not to notice Vitale drooling all over the microphone as he raves about Felton's greatness and future NBA potential.
These college basketball analysts like Aaron Miles, but you'll rarely hear his name in the same sentence as Felton or Paul.
On Jan. 13, the 2005 Bob Cousy Award candidates were announced. Miles was chosen along with 18 others to be part of a list that recognizes college basketball's top point guard, in all three NCAA divisions. At the time the list of candidates was released, Miles was averaging 9.2 points and 7.1 assists per game. Other notable candidates include Georgia Tech's junior Jarret Jack (14.8 ppg, 4.7 apg), Marquette's senior Travis Dienner (20.9, 6.6). Notre Dame's senior Chris Thomas (15.5, 6.7), Paul (14.3, 6.4) and of course Felton (10.6, 7.7).
If you look closely at Felton's line, his statistics are nearly identical to those of Miles, yet Felton gets all of the national attention.
Miles is arguably having his best season offensively, but he doesn't
Miles is, without a doubt, a great point guard, but he won't win this award. His statistics aren't flashy enough. He doesn't score enough, he isn't showy enough and honestly, I doubt he cares. This award, like many others, relies heavily on individual statistics. It doesn't rely enough on team success, leadership, toughness and performing in the clutch, all reasons why Miles should seriously be considered for this award.

Senior guard Aaron Miles tries to take a charge from Allan Ray, Villanova junior guard, during Saturday's game. Ray led all scorers with 27 points, which led to Villanova's victory against the Jayhawks.
Bearing down against Baylor
'Hawks need to stop freshman guard
BY KELLI ROBINETT
krobinett@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Baylor coach Scott Drew may have been as upset as Kansas coach Bill Self after the Villanova Wildcats easily defeated the Jayhawks by 21 points on Saturday.
Instead of facing a carefree, undefeated Jayhawk squad at 6:30 tonight in Waco, Texas, Drew will encounter an angry, one-loss team that is hungry for revenge.
"I think most people across the country agree they're going to be pretty focused from the start." Drew said. "They're going to try to make a statement."
The Bears have lost three games in a row to the Jayhawks, and last defeated them during the 2000-2001 season. The then-No. 6 Jayhawks sleepwalked into Waco, fell behind by 25 points at halftime and lost 85-77.
But after Saturday's debacle in Philadelphia, Kansas players said there wasn't much chance of another Jayhawk letdown.
"We'll try to spin a negative into a positive," senior forward Wayne Simien said of the Villanova loss. "Learn from it, come out and tighten things up and be ready to resume conference play."
Not good news for a team that has just one returning scholarship athlete, and only six overall.
The Bears (9-6, 1-3 Big 12) are one of the country's least experienced teams. This year's lineup includes nine underclassmen. Crippled by NCAA sanctions that followed a major scandal under former coach Dave Bliss, Baylor returns just three players from last season's roster, two of whom are walk-ons.
Despite the tough times that Baylor has dealt with, its second-year coach has exceeded expectations.
With nine wins thus far, Drew already has bettered last season's win total of eight, and the Bears have impressive victories against Colorado and at Purdue.
One of the main reasons the Bears are opening eyes around the conference is freshman guard Aaron Bruce. He currently is the third-highest scoring freshman in the country, averaging 16.1 points per game.
He leads all Big 12 Conference freshmen in scoring, field-goal percentage (49.7), three-point field-goal percentage (41.7) and free-throw percentage (88.5).
Bruce, a Horsham, Australia, native is such a highly touted newcomer that ESPN commentator Dick Vitale included him in his "Super Six All-Diapier Dandie" preseason team, which consisted of five other standout freshman.
"Aaron Bruce, for us, has been very impressive," Drew said. "He has a great opportunity. Not many freshmen across the country get to play as many minutes as he does with our situation."
Freshman forward Tim Bush has also shown promise in his first year, as both he and Bruce have won Big 12 Conference Rookie of the Week honors.
Kansas will look to slow these two freshman down and improve from its last game, when the Jayhawks surrendered a season-high 83 points.
Self admitted that wouldn't be easy, as Baylor's style of play differed from a lot teams the Jayhawks play.
That style of play includes attempting nearly 20 three-pointers per game, which has allowed four Baylor players to maintain double-digit scoring averages. When the Bears get hot they seldom lose, owning an 11-0 record under Drew when they score more than 70 points.

Jayhawks aim to best Buffaloes

Prior to last Saturday's 63-61 victory against Missouri, the Kansas women's basketball team had lost four games in a row. The first conference victory of the season ended that streak.
"We will definitely build off of this," Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "We will learn from our mistakes and build off the positives.
Tonight's face-off against Colorado offers Kansas, B-8 (1-4 Big 12), its best
opportunity of the season to notch another conference road victory.
The Buffaloes have defeated the Jayhawks in eight straight meetings, including a 19-point decision in Boulder, Colo., last season. But Kansas has reason for optimism as it takes to the road for an 8 p.m. tip-off.
This season's Buffalo team has changed from last year's squad that finished 22-8 and earned a Top 20 ranking.
Four starters are gone from last season's team, and Colorado has dropped four of its last five contests. Just like Kansas, its lone conference victory
came against Missouri.
In their last conference match-up, Colorado lost an overtime game to the last-place Oklahoma State, 76-70.
The Jayhawks should take advantage of its success in protecting the ball against the Buffaloos, who average more than 20 turnovers per outing. The Jayhawks rank 29th nationally and commit less than 15 turnovers a game.
The Jayhawks have posted a 1-4 record on the road and are winless in both games during the conference road schedule.
Troubled early in the season by second-half collapses, Kansas has put together two consecutive solid second halves in games against Texas A&M and Missouri.
Against Texas A&M, Kansas erased an 11-point first half deficit to tie the game with only one minute remaining, but eventually fell 62-60.
Saturday's victory against Missouri saw Kansas at a five-point disadvantage going into the break, but a strong second half performance created the

Pipe thought to be used as a sleeping place
BY JOSHUA BICKEL
jbickel@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFP WRITER
Residents of K.K. Amini Scholarship Hall may see members of the KU Public Safety Office patrolling their area more.
A homeless person is believed to have been sleeping in an exhaust pipe
near the south side of the scholarship hall, according to a KU Public Safety Office report. Keith Visocsky, physical plant supervisor, discovered that the vent cover had been missing from the exhaust pipe every morning last week.
A KU Public Safety officer examined the scene after Viscosity reported
Visocsky believed that a homeless person had been sleeping there to stay warm during the night, but the KU Public Safety Office has found no evidence that anyone had been there.
it at approximately 10 a.m. or Monday. The officer found the vent cover off of the pipe about 10 feet away. The officer reported that air pressure from the pipe may have blown the vent cover off.
Ken Stoner, director of student housing, said that air pressure alone couldn't remove a vent cover from a pipe but that a person would have to remove it.
Capt. Schuyler Bailey, KU Public Safety Office spokesman, said that while sleeping in a pipe is not encouraged, the public safety office can't do anything about it.
"It's not against the law," Bailey said. "All we can do is advise the person sleeping there not to do it."
Stoner said that the Department of Student Housing was aware of homeless people sleeping next to vents and in exhaust pipes to stay warm, but he said that it wasn't a huge concern.
"We're aware that this happens from time to time," Stoner said. "But it isn't a big problem."
Stoner said that when the department does discover that a homeless person has been sleeping in an exhaust pipe, a padlock is put on the vent cover so that it can no longer be removed.
According to the police report, Visocsky planned to screw the vent cover to the pipe so that the homeless person he suspected of sleeping there could no longer get inside.
Bailey said that the KU Public Safety Office will pay extra attention to that area for the next few days.

Coored band craze continues
KU Hillel, Louise's, join bracelet bandwagon
BY ADAM LAND
aland@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The craze that began with the yellow LiveStrong bracelet has become a trendy way to skip cover charges and to show spirit and awareness. Presidential candidates, congressmen and even basketball coach Bill Self wear the LiveStrong bracelet. Bracelets are $1 and proceeds go to cancer research.
Different colored bracelets began springing up across the nation and are a trendy way to raise money. Bands range in causes and colors.
Bruce Hommid, president of Columbus Fundraising, an Ohio-based manufacturer of wristbands, said the company sells 50,000 wristbands month.
"We have seen a jump in sales of the wristbands," said Hommid. "I think this should continue for at least a few more months."
University of Kansas' Hillet Foundation, a Lawrence bar and a local scholarship fund are among the newest organizations to buy into the increasingly popular plastic wristbands.
Columbus Fundraising sells the majority of its wristbands for fundraising, said Hommid. However, he has seen a slight rise from private businesses.
KU Hillel began selling a similar royal blue bracelet in December. They say "Yisrael," which is "Israel" in Hebrew.
Pollie Kenn, program director of KU Hillel Foundation, said Hillel bought 10,000 wristbands that cost $7,500.
"We want the bracelets to be conversation starters," Kenn said. "These bracelets are really good ways to advocate our cause."
KU Hillel sold 7,000 bracelets to approximately 40 other universities. The organization purchased the bracelets through a grant given to the organization, Kenn said.
One of the first local bracelets to surface was the purple "Teri Tough" bands last semester. The bracelets
benefit a scholarship fund that was set up in honor of Teri Lea Mathis Zenner, Olathe graduate student, who was murdered in August. She was in the home of a Johnson County Mental Health client when she was killed.
Her husband, Matt Zenner, purchased 10,000 bracelets to support the scholarship fund and to increase violence awareness.
Zenner said the wristbands are $2 and the scholarship will be available to students pursuing a master's degree in social work.
"Teri Tough" bands were purchased in bulk in November.

Mozart, we're not in Italy anymore.
When audience members watch KU Opera's opening night performance of Mozart's "Cosi Fan Tutte," they won't be in an 18th century villa.
They'll be in the more familiar confines of a 1950s Kansas home.
Tim Ocel, artistic director of KU Opera, said the idea to remake "Cosi" came to him while furniture shopping in north Lawrence and reflecting upon his work with William Inge's plays, a Kansas-born plawright.
"I was driving past the grain elevator and all these houses," said Ocel, associate professor of opera. "And I've directed William Inge plays, and I know this is William Inge territory."
He said somehow exploring Lawrence and thinking about "Cosi" blended together.
The opera is more accessible to audiences because it's a remake and English translation of the original version, said Holly Wrench, Marshfield doctorate student who plays Dorabello.
While "Cosi's" setting has changed, the story stays the same. A man, Don Alfonso, bets two soldiers, Guglielmo and Ferrando, that their lovers will cheat on them if they go to fight in the Korean War.
The soldiers accept Alfonso's bet and try to woo each other's lover in disguise. The women then fall in love with the disguised men and lose their honor.
"Cosi" is about the loss of innocence but is also a psychological comedy, Ocel said.
MARRIAGE LOVE
"It's not very nice, and it's not particularly pleasant — the outcome," he said. "I mean, can you imagine two guys betting on their girlfriends' fidelities? This is a joke, I mean, it's a bet. But the girls don't know it."
Holly Wrensch, Marshfield doctorate student, and Gina Galati, St. Louis graduate student, rehearse a scene from their upcoming opera "Cosi fan Tutte." The opera, rewritten and updated by Tim Ocel, KU professor, held a dress rehearsal yesterday evening at the Black Box Theater in Murphy Hall in final preparations for opening night this Friday.
Because of the lack of attention-grabbing comedy, achieving the comedic effect was the most difficult part of the opera, said Julie Maykowski, who plays Despina.

As election looms hostage makes plea
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAGHDAD, Iraq — An American kidnapped in November pleaded for his life in a video aired yesterday, and at least a dozen Iraqis died in Baghdad as political violence continued to plague the country five days before Sunday's crucial elections for a new National Assembly.
"I am please asking for help because my life is in danger because it's been proved I worked for American forces," Hallums said.
Hallums was seized by gunmen Nov. 1 along with Robert Tarongoy of the Philippines at their compound in Baghdad's Mansour district. The two worked for a Saudi company that does catering for the Iraqi army.
On a day the U.S. military announced that six American soldiers died, Iraqi police engaged in fierce shootouts with insurgents, including gunmen who were handing out leaflets warning Iraqis not to vote or risk seeing their families' blood "wash the streets of Baghdad."
In Westminster, Calif., his daughter, Carrie Cooper, 29, said she last saw him at a family reunion last June.
In the hostage video, a bearded Roy Hallmalls speaking with a rifle pointed at his head, said he had been taken by a "resistance group" because "I have worked with American forces." He appealed to Arab leaders to save his life.
"My heart's broken to see my dad with a gun to his head. ... He's fearless and he wanted to help the people there and rebuild Iraq," she told KNBC-TV.
Hallums' former wife, Susan Hallams, urged President Bush to help the captive and urged the kidnappers to let him go.
"Please release him. He's never hurt anybody in his life. He's only done good things. He's a wonderful father and grandfather, and he's kind and I know that you can see that he's kind," she said at her home in Corona, Calif.
The U.S. military announced that a Bradley armored vehicle rolled into a canal northeast of Baghdad during a combat patrol Monday night, killing five American soldiers and injuring two from the Army's 1st Infantry Division. The accident, which was under investigation, occurred near the town of Khan Bani Saad during a sandstorm, it said.
A sixth U.S. soldier died Monday of wounds from a roadside bomb that blasted an American patrol in Baghdad, the military said.
A 23-year-old KU student was verbally assaulted around 3 a.m. on Jan. 24 between Lilac Lane and Alumni Place, a KU Public Safety Office spokesman said.
DA reviewing complaint involving verbal assault!
At least 1,378 members of the U.S. military have died since the beginning of the Iraq war in March 2003, according to an Associated Press count.
The victim was walking home when a car approached and people inside made threatening comments, said Capt. Schuyler Bailey of KU Public Safety.
Bailey said the safety office later identified and questioned the suspects.
The case has been sent to Douglas County Municipal court for review by the District Attorney.

Dog wins 'hero pet' award for saving young girl's life
SALINA — When he saw the wounds that punctured poor Osh Gosh's body from his jaw to his shoulder, veterinarian Norman Morrow knew the golden retriever had been the victim of a vicious attack.
STATE
"He had multiple, very severe, deep puncture wounds," said Morrow, who owns Animal Clinic in Salina.
"We spent a lot of time working on him."
And Morrow spent a long time, too, thinking about what would have happened if Osh Gosh hadn't diverted the attention of two pit bull dogs that were attacking one of Osh Gosh's owners, 3-year-old Caitlyn Forsberg.
Forsberg was attacked May 4 as she played in the back yard of her father's Salina home. As it was, Caitlyn suffered 16 deep cuts on her face, and a torn eyelid and tear duct that had to be surgically repaired.
"I don't know what he (Osh Gosh) did, how he intervened in this circumstance," Morrow said. "But in my own mind, had he not been there that particular afternoon, circumstances might have been much worse than what they were."
"I just think Caitlyn's a very lucky little girl."
During the association's annual meeting, Morrow presented Osh Gosh with the organization's Hero Pet of the Year award — a plaque presented during a banquet this month at the Airport Hilton in Wichita.
Forsberg said he was a little surprised his 7-year-old golden retriever was honored, "but he definitely deserved it."
The attack on Caitlyn, which was one of several in Salina this past spring and summer, led to revisions to the city's animal control ordinances and the banning of new pit bull dogs in the community.
The dogs that attacked Osh Gosh and Caitlyn were euthanized at the request of their owner.
Osh Gosh survived the attack and is doing fine, Forsberg said.

KANSAN STAFF WRITE
The University of Kansas School of Engineering and the department of physics and astronomy are making the stars more accessible to students.
Researchers, led by University faculty, unveiled an ultra-lightweight, 16-inch telescope prototype at the winter meeting of the American Astronomical Society, held Jan. 9-13.
KU researchers and those with San Diego State University, Dartmouth College and Composite Mirror Applications have worked since May of 2003 to develop a one-meter telescope that weighs one-tenth its normal weight. Dual grants from the National Science Foundation and the National Aerospace Agency are funding the project's
goal to use lightweight materials instead of the traditional glass and steel support structure.
"We've spent half our contract just trying to figure out what to do," Richard Hale, associate professor of aerospace engineering, said. "There's no guidebook or manual for this."
Barbara Anthony-Twarog, professor of physics and astronomy, said the project's final telescope will give astronomy students a better opportunity to do research. Anthony-Twarog is in charge of developing the software that will operate the telescope. The software will aim to operate the observatory remotely and robotically. Instead of traveling to observatories, a computer with an Internet connection is all a researcher needs.
The program would allow researchers to enter coordinates and have the telescope take pic
tures and send them electronically to the user.
"Travel to an observatory just isn't feasible," Anthony-Twarog said. "It's too much time, too much money."
"What if you have a telescope for seven nights and six of those seven are cloudy?" Swift said.
Hannah Swift, Olathe junior and president of Astronomical Associates of Lawrence, said telescope time is one of the limiting factors of astronomical research.
The telescope is scheduled for completion in January 2006. It will be installed at SDSU's Mount Laguna Observatory.
Hale and Anthony-Twarog said that the price of ultra-lightweight telescopes would be more expensive than conventional models, but that could change.

Rice receives mixed reviews
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — One Senate Democrat called Condoleezza Rice a liar yesterday, and others said she was an apologist for Bush administration failures in Iraq, but she remained on track for confirmation as secretary of state.
Rice, who has been President Bush's White House national security adviser for four years, was one of the loudest voices urging war, Democrats said. She repeatedly deceived members of Congress and Americans at large about justifications for the war, said Sen. Mark Dayton, D-Minn.
"I don't like impugning anyone's integrity, but I really don't like being lied to," Dayton said. "Repeatedly, flagrantly, intentionally."
Rice is expected to win confirmation on Wednesday. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., predicted that Rice would
have "an overwhelming majority" of votes.
Sen. Richard Lugar, R-Ind., cautioned against "inflammatory rhetoric that is designed merely to create partisan advantage or to settle partisan scores."
Rice would succeed Colin Powell, who often found himself on the outside looking in with Bush's close circle of war and national security advisers.
"My vote against this nominee is my statement that this administration's lies must stop now," Dayton said in opposing Rice's nomination on the Senate floor.
By contrast, Rice is a trusted Bush loyalist. As a principal architect of the Iraq invasion and the administration's war on terrorism, she shares blame for overstating the threat posed by Saddam Hussein, Democrats said.
Politicians rarely use the word "lie," preferring some of the milder terms other Democrats
used yesterday.
"There was no reason to go to war in Iraq when we did, the way we did and for the false reasons we were given," said Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass.
"Dr. Rice is responsible for some of the most overblown rhetoric that the administration used to scare the American people," Sen. Robert Byrd, D-W.Va. said.
Rice is not directly responsible for intelligence failures prior to the Iraq war that overestimated Saddam's nuclear capability, said Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich. "But she is responsible for her own distortions and exaggerations of the intelligence which was provided to her," Levin said.
The Senate set aside most of the day yesterday to debate the Rice nomination after Democrats revolted against a plan to confirm Rice last week, on the same day that Bush took his oath for a second term.
'Aviator' gets most nominations
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — Martin Scorsese may finally be positioned for Academy Awards glory, but his Howard Hughes epic "The Aviator" will have to duke it out with Clint Eastwood's boxing drama.
The other best-picture contenders were "Finding Neverland," a whimsical portrait of the creation of J.M. Barrie's "Peter Pan"; "Ray," a fiery film biography of Ray Charles; and "Sideways," a quirky romance about the misadventures of two buddies on a wine-tasting road trip.
The best-picture and director honors are shaping up as a two-film race between Scorsese's and Eastwood's flicks, with "The Aviator" having the inside track as front-runner by leading the pack with 11 nominations yesterday.

U.S. government, Church should favor "wrapping it"
Controversy sprung out of the Catholic church in Spain last week, as Juan Antonio Martinez Camino, spokesman for the Spanish Bishops Conference told reporters that "Condoms have a place in the global prevention of AIDS." Because condoms go against religious beliefs, Catholics around the world were enraged. The church hierarchy later proclaimed that no changes had been made in the church doctrine.
It will be feverishly debated whether this is hypocrisy on the part of the church or a step forward in the fight against AIDS. More importantly though, Americans need to take a look at the big picture and answer a question about sexuality in our own lives: Are we being realistic with the way we educate our children about sex?
The commotion coming out of Spain affects everyone, including those outside the Catholic church. Martinez Camino admitted that the sexual climate in the world is a dangerous one, and that changes need to be made. The Catholic church is essentially going against its own stance on an important issue.
The answer, quite simply, is no. According to a 2002 report in Newsweek, more than one third of U.S. high schools teach an abstinence-only curriculum. Congress recently passed a bill allotting $131 million for abstinence-only education, nearly $60 million more than in 1998.
It's a policy that President Bush brought with him from his days as governor of Texas. During his tenure in the Longhorn state, Texas ranked last in the country in the decline of pregnancies for girls ages 15 to 17-years old.
This comes from the Union of Concerned Scientists, a coalition that supports a more comprehensive sexual education curriculum. This would mean classes that promote abstinence as a first option, but also educate students on protecting themselves if they choose to become sexually active.
The Newsweek report claimed that groups like the Sexuality Information and Education Council (SIECUS) support the more well-rounded approach to sexual education, and with good reason.
The Catholic church's change of opinion admits that people are engaging in out-of-wedlock sexual action. As long as this is happening, there might as well be action to make the action safer. It is not productive for President Bush and his administration to pretend that telling kids not to have sex is proper education and then send them out into the world to figure out the dangers on their own.
The driving force behind abstinence only education is religious fervor. By blocking students' rights to education regarding so-called "safe-sex" alternatives, the government is forcing their own family values onto students. Where are children from single-family homes supposed to side on the issue of waiting until marriage for sex? And for homosexuals who aren't able to legally marry? These kinds of exclusions do not occur in a more balanced curriculum, where everyone is given the same facts and allowed to make their own decision.
Instead, our own leaders should want teens to be knowledgeable and safe, not naive and at risk.
The government cannot control whether or not teens are having sex. But as long as they are funding education to protect the health of teens, it is their responsibility to do the most effective job possible. Remaining abstinent is obviously the safest measure against HIV, but at least one group has decided it's not reality to assume everyone will do so. Our government should follow the trend.

Wake Bush up from delusional dream
Dear George W. Bush.
CORPORATOCRACY
As you begin your second and final term, I have a few words of advice:
Do yourself. Mr. President
Be yourself, Mr. President.
With 51 percent of the popular vote,
you have nothing left to prove. So will
the real Slim Shady please stand up?
First, stop pretending you support the troops. On Oct. 2, 2002, Air Force Magazine reported that your administration opposed a Senate addition to the Iraq supplemental bill that would have added $1.3 billion to veterans' health care. As your ill-fated war in Iraq births a new generation of amputees abroad, tax cuts to the rich funnel away public trust at home. Veterans' hospitals in New York, Pittsburgh, Kentucky, Ohio, Mississippi, California and your home state of Texas have closed since you pushed your unaffordable tax cuts.
PENGULIAN PINGULIAN
Stop pretending you have a divine mission to "spread freedom." Do you mean the freedom to torture in Abu Ghaib Prison? To where is this freedom spreading, exactly?
STEHPEN SHUPE

Stop pretending the election in Afghanistan was a triumph for democracy. In October of 2004, the war-ruined country of Afghanistan "elected" Hamid Karzai to serve as its president.
My favorite fact about Karzai: When you appointed him to serve as the interim president of Afghanistan on Dec. 31, 2001, he stacked his government — a government you openly supported — with the country's mujahdeen warlords. These same warlords massacred 40,000 civilians in Kabul between 1992 and 1994, laying waste to the country's economy and making waste for the Taliban.
My second favorite fact: In his past
W
What did your administration have to gain by appointing Karzai interim president? We know that Enron stood to benefit from the pipeline project's fruition. Donald Rumsfeld and trade representative Robert Zoellick held stock in the company. Oh, and another chief benefactor was Halliburton, Dick Cheney's old stomping ground.
In a blistering series of reports written for the online version of the Nation magazine, the journalist Christian Parenti exposed the October election as "a farce" that was "besieged by a wave of fraud and technical errors." With no system to verify the identity of voters, pre-registration soared. So high, in fact, that in the four provinces along Afghanistan's eastern border, 140 percent of the adult population was registered to vote. In Khost, warlords told the elders there that if they failed to vote for Karzai their homes would be burned to the ground. On election day, the proliferation of fake voting cards meant people were able to vote multiple times. Karzai's opponents
A pipeline deal was signed two years into Karzai's interim presidency. The mujahedeen thugs still make up the Karzai government. Still, you say freedom is on the march. Is freedom code for corporate domination?
renounced his election as illegitimate.
Parenti wrote: "In short, there is no rule of law in Afghanistan, and there is no security, so there can be no free and fair election."
Which brings us to Iraq. Stop pretending America's Mesopotamian misadventure is part of the so-called war on terror. Rolling Stone reported in November that as much as 85 percent of the Iraqi population supports the resistance. Are they all terrorists? Ordinary citizens as well as trained fighters now make up the estimated 200,000 insurgents, with 40,000 involved in hardcore fighting and the rest providing direct support.
"We fight with our friends and brothers, and every day we lose, but we continue to fight because this is our country," a young fighter in Moqtaq al-Sadr's now-disbanded Mahdi Army told Rolling Stone. "We cannot accept that foreigners will occupy our land — that is our belief. We believe that we are right."
The election is over, Mr. President. Time to take off that cowboy hat and brush off your Wall Street duds.
Yours truly,
Stephen.

Poor funding sacrifices education
COMMENTARY
One of the most important parts of children's development is the quality of education they receive while growing up. For most children in the United States, they get that education through the public school system. Primary and secondary education of some type is mandatory in the U.S. While some parents choose alternative methods of education, the majority of children will go through the public education system.
SARA ZAFAR

I am a software engineer. I have been working in the field of data science for over 10 years. I specialize in machine learning and natural language processing. I have also worked on web analytics and user experience design. I am a strong communicator and a good team player. I am committed to providing high-quality solutions to my clients.
For this reason, the public education system is a very important part of the development of children and teenagers and should be an area of concern for the public as a whole. The children who process through the public education system are the people who will eventually run the country, and the quality of education they get is crucial to their development into intelligent and creative individuals. There is a delicate balance in place when considering a developing mind's requirements for a fulfilling education that teaches children to push the limits of their potential.
States such as Kansas have varying budgets for education, but none of them ranks near the top of the expenditures for each state. Renovations, athletics programs and improvement on standardized test scores are ranked much higher on the list of state concerns. Increasingly, the decrease in overall state budgets has led to a cut in education funds. Because of these budgetary adjustments, school boards must decide how to allocate these funds. School buildings are outdated and
in need of repair, and there are the usual expenditures such as bussing and teacher salaries. Something has to take the brunt of the decrease in funds, and often, the first programs to receive budgetary cuts are the arts, including music, theater, and visual art.
Already this attitude permeates the university level, where the arts and "soft" sciences, such as sociology and political science are under-funded compared to the hard, industry sciences. The closing of the anthropology museum at the University two years ago due to lack of funds, while the research sciences receive millions of dollars in grants and awards is indicative of a culture that favors the sciences.
While these "extracurricular" classes may seem expendable when compared to basic language, science and mathematic skills, those skills are worth little if a child has no understanding of what he or she is learning. According to the Americans for the Arts organization, exposure to music and understanding its basic forms is essential to a child's ability to form problem-solving skills and make creative solutions. Art classes also help strengthen the creativity centers of the brain, as well as allowing children to stretch their own creative limits.
Budget cuts force schools to hire teachers at a much lower salary, often resulting in teacher lay-offs because there simply is not enough money in the system. The quality education that is provided by a teacher who cares is one of the most memorable and impacting to a child. Also, as a result of fewer, more inexperienced teachers, class sizes increase and children get less individual attention. Individual attention is important in fostering confidence and security in children during their formative years.
The solution is to raise revenues for the education budget. The Kansas Board of Education statistics from 2000 showed that raising taxes is the usual solution, although a large part of the public objects to tax increases. However, tax revenues are the body of what funds most government programs. If today's children do not receive a full, balanced education, they will be less capable of dealing with large-scale problems in the future. Those opposed to a slight, but vital increase in taxation, which will ultimately lead to an increase in revenue for state education programs should take note of the fact that they will place their world into the hands of these children, and ask themselves if a few more dollars a year is worth it.

Administration projects $427 billion shortfall
WASHINGTON — The White House will project that this year's federal deficit will hit $427 billion, a senior administration official said yesterday, a record amount partly driven by wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The official, among three who briefed reporters on condition of anonymity, said the estimate was a conservative one that assumed some higher spending than other analysts use.
Last February, the White House projected that the 2004 shortfall would hit $521 billion, only to see it come in at $412 billion.
The official said the figure represented progress because it would be smaller than last year's record $412 billion shortfall when compared to the size of the growing U.S. economy. That ratio is a key measure of the deficit's potency.
The number was among a blizzard of figures released yesterday that illustrated how federal deficits remain a problem that Bush and Congress must reckon with.

SHARING SOUND BY SHANE KUCERA
If Napster had nine lives, it only has a few left.
Napster's newest reincarnation, Napster on Campus, offers its regular services of late — legal music downloading for a fee — to college students for a discounted price through their university.
The University of Kansas could be next in line for a legal university-wide downloading service program, and Napster on Campus could be the service of choice. Student Senate has composed a task force to look into downloading services for the University for two reasons: to avoid further legal action from the music industry against students and, simply, for entertainment.
Because of the music industry's law suits and other problems associated with illegal file-sharing such as the susceptibility to computer viruses, nine universities across the country have teamed up with the Napster on Campus legal downloading service to provide discounted, legal downloads for all students. Cornell, George Washington University, University of Miami, Middlebury College, Penn State, University of Rochester, University of Southern California, Vanderbilt University and Wright State University are currently using Napster's service, either for a trial period or as a permanent legal music service for its students.
Recording industry takes action
The Recording Industry Association of America is filing lawsuits across the nation in an attempt to curb illegal file-sharing. In 2004 the RIAA struck in Lawrence by suing three KU students for illegal downloading. Charlil Johnson, one of the KU students, was sued for $440,000 by the RIAA and settled for approximately $3,000. The prosecution for illegal downloading has been requiring settlements of either $750 per song or a $3,000 penalty. John Fogarty, Napster associate director of business
development, says it is in everyone's best interest to see Napster used on college campuses. "File-sharing is an experience we want students to take advantage of in a legal setting." he says.
The normal subscription price for Napster is $9.95 per month, but with the help of label partners, Fogarty says prices can be deeply discounted, up to 70 percent, for a university.
Colleges that use Napster's service offer a number of different payment plans. The most unique payment plan of the nine universities currently using Napster's program is Cornell, which has corporate sponsors that fund most of the downloading service. Fogarty says it is most common for a university to contract to have the program provided to all students rather than giving the individual student the option to subscribe.
Jeff Dunlap, student body vice president, says the University will be looking to students for financial support of the program because funding opportunities are limited.
Ted Frederickson, professor of journalism who teaches a class on Internet law, says that universities cannot be sued for copyright infringement as long as the university cooperates when it is informed that students are illegally sharing files. Frederickson says this puts universities in an uncomfortable position of having to police online behavior of students—a position that could be solved by a University-provided legal music service. He also points out that, ironically, such a program would create a major exception in the University's policy that says its computer network is to be used only for university business and educational purposes.
Benefits of a legal music program such as Napster on Campus include legal access to over 800,000 songs, custom playlists and commercial-free radio. Legal music downloading programs can
also guarantee quality along with security for the students. Music labels provide their songs directly to the program so a user does not have to be concerned about corrupt files or viruses. Vincent Buhr, ResNet residential communication consultant, says that he doesn't believe illegal downloading is a serious issue, but a legal downloading service could help with virus-related problems.
Reason for hesitation
Downloading services such as Napster use "tethered downloading," a service that is similar to renting a movie — only you get to keep the movie, or song, until your subscription runs out. With tethered下载ing, songs cannot be burned onto a CD or moved to an MP3 player unless the user pays $0.99 per track or $9.95 per album.
"Those prices could get steep really fast," Chance Heinz, Garden City sophomore says. "But, a buck a song or 10 bucks for a CD isn't too bad for what prices are at today."
Money, of course, is a major concern with the downloading service for universities. Jael Hull, San Antonio sophomore, and Mark Miller, Olathe senior, agree that if the University decides to contract with a service provider the fee should be optional for all students, similar to how bus passes and sports packages are paid for.
Gregory D. Freix, director of information systems for the School of Business, says that it is important to look into the opportunity cost of implementing such a program at the University. "Anytime you spend money in one area, you don't have money for something else, and I don't think any of us at KU are rolling in dough." Freix says.
Napster on other campuses
Why here and why now?
Cornell University: Corporate sponsors fund most of the cost and an unrestricted gifts fund in Student and Academic Services covers the remainder.
Dunlap, who is a member of the task force looking into the downloading service, says that student fees already pay for a variety of programs that are of a personal interest, such as the Newspaper Readership Program and Legal Services for Students. A downloading service is not a huge departure from the norm, Dunlap says.
Cornell University: Corporate sponsors fund most of the cost and an unrestricted gifts fund in Student and Academic Services covers the remainder.
George Washington University: Now in the pilot-program phase, residence hall students receive a subscription paid for by the university.
Penn State: All students pay a flat fee for the program through their technology fee.
University of Southern California: Students have the option to use the program for $10 per semester or $20 for the full academic year.

Threes drown Bears

KANSAN SPORTSWITTER
WACO, Texas — Before the Jayhawks boarded the bus for the airport on Monday, everyone had his own idea about what needed to come from the trip to play the Baylor Bears.
Senior guard Aaron Miles said he thought the team needed to come out and make a statement.
Kansas coach Bill Self said they needed to see the ball go through the hoop.
Well, all missions accomplished.
The Jayhawks put on a shooting clinic last night, setting a school record with 16 three-pointers in the team's 86-66 victory against the Bears. The previous record, 15, dated back to Dec. 10, 1994.
Leading the charge from behind the arc was junior guard Jeff Hawkins.
Maybe it was his new hair cut. Perhaps, it was the soft Bears zone. Or maybe, the guy his teammates call "Hawk" has a new approach to his role with the lahwaks.
Last night, the junior guard went 5-

APPLICATIONS READY KU students looking for NCAA Tournament tickets must apply to the KU ticket office by Feb. 11 for student seats. A limited number of student tickets will be available for sites where the Jayhawks play in March's tournament. Applications for each site will be entered into a lottery, and winners will be posted at Allen Fieldhouse and on kuathletics.com on March 1. Student applications are available in the east lobby of Allen Fieldhouse.
for-5 from three-point land, scoring 15 points in just 15 minutes of play. His outside shooting helped Kansas land the record and finish the game shooting 59 percent on three-pointers.
"Everyone had something to do with it, but Hawk had the most to do with it." Self said.
See the story on page 8B for more basketball information.
Hawkins' recent contributions are his first since last season. It's no secret that he has seen his fair share of distractions this year. He was suspended

from the team from the first day of classes until late September for behavioral issues.
But Self said that Hawkins hung in there even when things weren't going his way.
"But he has kept a great attitude; he's matured." Self said. "It just goes to show you that if you keep a good attitude all the time, when your number is called, you're ready."
It seemed like everyone in a jayhawk uniform was ready though, quite a difference from the recent lackluster performances the Jayhaws have put on.
"He's a great kid, but he kind of got in the doghouse for a couple of months." Self said.
The defeat against the Villanova Wildcats made this an important game in the eyes of the Jayhawks, Self said. He was clearly happy with the way they responded.

'Hawks pounce on Buffs errors

Kansas, however, made it worse for Colorado by hitting the Buffaloes with a painful 65-60 road defeat.
Two programs came into last night's women's basketball game with a lot of growing pains.
Numerous missed opportunities by Colorado and enough late conversions on the offensive end for Kansas, 9-8 (2-4 Big 12), produced the Jayhawks' second consecutive victory in the Big 12 and their first road conference triumph of the season.
In the game's final minute, junior forward Crystal Kemp and junior guard Erica Hallman made two free throws each, cementing the outcome.
The Buffalooes, 8-1 (9-5), squander several opportunities to tie the game down the stretch and hit just 7-of-15 free throws for the game.

While leading 61-58, Jayhawk Kaylee Brown, junior guard, was called for an offensive foul on a moving screen, giving the Buffaloes the ball back with only 1:06 remaining in the game. Colorado failed to convert a wide-open three-point attempt by sophomore forward Anna Nedovic as well as the subsequent offensive put-back.
While Colorado failed to close well, Kansas converted when it counted most. Hallman's two free throws with two seconds on the clock produced the
On the ensuing Jawahk possession, Kemp nailed two free throws, giving Kansas a comfortable 63-58 lead with 38 seconds left. Kemp finished by matching her 15 points with 15 rebounds.
The next possession yielded another chance for Colorado to close the gap, but the Kansas inside defense forced Buffalo freshman forward Jackie McFarland into a missed layup.

"Down the stretch we had some good possessions," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "I'm really excited about our ability to finish."
Kansas' early offense was led by Hallman, who scored 11 quick points on penetration moves and perimeter shooting. Hallman concluded the game with 18 points, seven assists and six rebounds.
Kemp picked up where she left off against Missouri and opened up the game by dominating the boards. Kemp grabbed nine early rebounds and actually led the entire Colorado roster in rebounding all the way until late in the first half.

volleyball player may join basketball team
Both teams started well in an upand-down first half that included 13 lead changes and solid play by both.
A team that has been lacking depth all season could get some help soon. Ashley Michaels, senior middle blocker for the KU volleyball team, may join the women's basketball team for the remainder of this season.
Beau White, sports information director, said Michaels was with the team on a trial basis to determine if she wanted to become a member for the rest of the season. The trial period will last until Michaels and KU women's basketball coach Bonnie Henrickson are both happy with the arrangements, White said.
Gina was also at the team's game last night in Boston, Colo. Michaels is 6-foot-2 and would add much-needed height to the Jayhawk team. The tallest player is junior forward Crystal Kemp, who also stands at 6-foot-2.
Michaela attended the Missouri game on Saturday as a special guest of Hodgkinson. She was also at the team's game last night in Boulder, Colo.
Michaelss played basketball in high school at Watheme High School and would help to spell three starters who average more than 33 minutes a game.
Michaels led the volleyball team in blocks this season. The team advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament for the second consecutive season.

Hobbies break routine
Editor's Note: This is the first story in a regular series which will profile students who take part in recreational sports. If you hunt, fish, climb rocks, go canoeing or are an expert spelunker, the Kansan would like to share those stories, and perhaps take part. Please contact Caleb Regan by calling the Kansan sports desk or e-mailing him at cregan@kansan.com.
Student life, for the most part, is a routine. We have certain classes on certain days, try to finish the crossword in a couple hours, try to dodge the folks handing out pamphlets, then go to Louise's on Thursday nights and see how many $1.75 schooners we can hoist before last call. Even meals become routine as we frequent the same restaurants for the same specials, such as Taco-Tuesdays at Set 'Em Up Jacks.
That is why it's important to have hobbies and recreational activities that we enjoy.

Whether it is fishing, biking, skateboarding or something else you enjoy, hobbies are important for more happiness and a better quality of life.

Students' quality of life decreases
when they can't participate in these activities, said Jill Urkoski, associate director of fitness and staff development at the Student Recreation Fitness Center.
"Any time you can enjoy doing something such as a hobby, it only helps psychologically and often times increases your health. In any case, it's beneficial to your health by being a mental escape."
Students who飞-fished with a river floating by and hills or mountains surrounding them will tell you catching fish is a bonus. Sure, that is why you are out there, but it's therapeutic just to be in that atmosphere, providing the mental escape that Urkoski explained.
either an intellectual or physical hobby are 2.5 times less likely to get Alzheimers. Obviously, intellectual activities — such as crosswords, reading, etc. — are the most beneficial, but physical activities can stimulate the mind just as much as word games.
According to a recent study done by "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences" appearing in "USA Today," adults ages 20 to 60 who participated
Navigating your way up a rock-climbing wall for example definitely requires mental capacity. The health benefits are evident.
There are other aspects of the benefits of sports recreation. Bel McCoy, Lawrence freshman, said. His main recreational activities include rollerblading, running and yoga.
"Not only does it tone muscle and help clear my mind, anything physical I do makes me more energetic and happy. That improves my relationships with friends and family."
So whether you're a sports fan, I hope the new recreational sports beat will have something for everyone. In the weeks to come I will profile different types of sports recreation, and maybe it will provoke someone to take up a new hobby that will lead to a new enjoyment.

Track and field preparing for Jayhawk Invitational
BY PATRICK SHEHAN
pshehan@kansan.com
KANSAN SWIPTERWRI
The KU track and field team is in the midst of a break to recover from the 15th Annual MU-KU-KSU Triangular last Friday. The break will give the team time to prepare for a meet of their own, the Jayhawk Invitational this Friday.
At the Triangular, Kansas placed third as a team, eight points behind Missouri, and 29 points behind winner Kansas State. The team racked up notable individual finishes including an NCAA qualifier.
Junior thrower Sheldon Battle qualified for nationals twice in the shot put, 59'1.5", and the weight throw, 67'7.5". Battle's weight throw was the second longest in University history.
Sprinter Aaron Thompson also comes into the Jayhawk Invitational with momentum. He placed second at the Arkansas Invitational in the 60-meter dash with the time of 6.93 seconds, finishing behind former Kansas stand-out Leo Bookman University graduate. At the Triangular Thompson recorded two first-place finishes in the 60-meter dash, with the time of 6.87 seconds and the 60-meter hurdles with the time of 8.09 seconds.
"This year is different from last year, because Leo's not here," Jeremy Mims, senior runner, said. "But a lot of us are stepping up."
Thompson and other runners are helping to make up for the famous graduate's absence.
The KU men's 4-by-400 meter relay team, led by Mims, won its second event at the Triangular in as many years, finishing with a time of 3 minutes. 17.38 seconds.
"He's really stepping up," Stanley Redwine, track head coach, said of Mims.
Brooklyn Hann continues to perform well in the triple jump after qualifying
Mims also finished first in the 600-meter race with the time of 1 minute 10.89 seconds.
Jacobs won the women's 400-meter dash in front of Garret with the times of 57.58 seconds and 57.85 seconds.
For the women's team, Tiffany Cherry, junior sprinter, won in the 60-meter dash with the time of 7.66 seconds. Cherry holds the KU record for the women's 60-meter dash, from last year's Big 12 Championships. With Octavia Garret, sophomore sprinter, and freshman Cortney Jacobs successively finishing close on her heels, Cherry's times continue to get faster as the year progresses.
As the Jayhawks continue to qualify individually for nationals meet by meet, Redwine said overall improvement would come meet by meet.
Although the Jayhawk Invitational is not a scored meet, it gives individuals the chance to record NCAA provisional qualifying performances. It also gives fans an opportunity to watch a Division I track meet on campus before the Kansas Relays, the team's second hosted meet, in April.
"When runners get faster times, it's only pushing the other runners to match that time." Redwine said after the Triangular.
for nationals at the Arkansas Invitational with the distance of 42' 3.25" tying her school record, which was set two years ago at the Alex Wilson Invitational.
"You always want to put on a good show when you're hosting it," Redwine said. "Hopefully we will have a good turnout and that our runners will perform".
Kansas will compete against other regional schools, including Emporia State, Pittsburg State and University of Missouri-Kansas City. Field events begin at 11 a.m. on Friday, and track events begin at noon.

Owens may be ready for Super Bowl
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHILADELPHIA — Terrell Owens doctor said yesterday he will not give the All-Pro receiver clearance to play in the Super Bowl.
Owens saw his doctor yesterday, one day after telling reporters he would play against the New England Patriots on Feb. 6.
Mark Myerson, Owens' doctor, said he's pleased with Owens' recuperation, but maintains the surgery requires a recovery period of eight to 10 weeks. Myerson said in a statement last night that any attempt to accelerate the rehabilitation process poses the same risk for injury.
Owens said he plans to be in uniform for the Eagles in Jacksonville, Fla. The Eagles' doctors and training staff should have the final say on Owens' status.
"Spiritually I've been healed and I believe that I'll be out there on that field Sunday, regardless of what anybody says." Owens said Monday night, before going to Baltimore for his weekly checkup with Myerson.
Owens was expected to test his injured ankle on the field this week and could try running as early as today.
Myerson inserted two screws in Owens' right ankle and a plate on the outside of the ankle three days after he was injured against Dallas on Dec. 19. By not clearing Owens to play, Myerson is absolved of any blame should Owens go against his wishes and then re-injure the ankle.
Fall ball benefits Jayhawk baseball team
BY AULISA BAUER
abauer@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWITHER
The Kansas baseball team uses its annual preseason trip to Hawaii to prepare for upcoming games and conference play. But the actual preseason starts much earlier.
For a limited number of days in October, the Jayhawks grabbed the opportunity to scrimmage each other in a handful of series. During these exhibitions, the team fielded two full lineups as designated captains picked their teams to face off against their teammates.
"We probably play 15 games in the fall, some are six innings, some are seven," coach Ritch Price said. "Fall ball is really important for where players start on the depth chart."
Not only does fall ball serve as a preseason for the club's returning starters, new transfers and freshmen, it also is an opportunity for walk-ons to try out for the team. That is, if they can make the
A NCAA rule states that each baseball team is given 132 days to play an entire season. The number of days used to play the spring season is automatically subtracted from 132. Whatever is left are the days available for playing the nontraditional season, "fall ball." Only 14 days remained after subtracting this year's spring season.
team in only 14 days.
"It's really difficult to make the team as a walk-on, but we do want to give them a chance. You'd have to be really good to walk on and in 14 days show the skills it would take to make a Division-I team." Price said.
In fact, several schools have done away with walk-on tryouts. Price said he believed in looking at everyone who comes out, but he said he had to set aside time to evaluate his scholarship players' off-season progress.
"When you only have 14 days, you can't cheat your own club." said Price.
Cheating the club is certainly not on the agenda in these packed few weeks.
Price said he and his staff worked to get the freshmen and transfer players acquainted with each other and for them to get their first feel of what Big 12 Conference baseball is all about.
Fall ball is the best way for the coaches to see who improved, worked hard and developed new skills during the summer season. Price said. It also proved useful in designing each player's individual winter workouts.
"We ask ourselves 'can their role now change from what it was the previous year?'" he said.
The returning starters took the chance to simply go out and play some ball. The real test is for the freshmen.
"They usually come in as the best player in their league. It is the first time they are really put under pressure." Price said.
He said the Hawaii trip, which begins on Feb. 4 this season, would allow position players to get the maximum number of at bats. Pitchers will each get an opportunity to pitch twice. The Hawai preseason trip helps coaches decide who has improved enough to start in the regular season. Price said.
The fall preseason also gives each player the chance to get used to each other and to the new level of play.
Price said he made his assessment of Kansas' most improved player during fall ball.
"John Allman was the most improved player from where he was a year ago to the progress he made this fall," Price said. He said that Allman, who took a redshirt last year, impressed him enough during the preseason to earn a starting spot in Hawaii.
Although it would be more beneficial for the Jayhawks if they were allowed to play an actual opponent in the fall, when it comes to baseball they take what they can get.
"We would like to play someone else in the fall. The intersquad games are the only alternative we really have," said Price.

Big 12 tennis teams improve
BY RAHUL SHARMA
rsharma@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWINTER
Editor's note: With the spring tennis season underway, Kansas sportswriter Rahul Sharma will preview every team in the Big 12 Conference this week. This is part one of the four-part series.
Bavlor
BU
Coming off a fourth-place Big 12 Conference finish in the 2004 season, the Baylor Bears continue to make strides.
Third-year coach Joey Scrivano led Baylor to its first ever Big 12 regular season championship in 2003. The team's goals remain the same.
"Our goals have been the same since day one," Scrivano says. "And that's to be the best program in the country."
WALTER
Baylor sophomore Carolin Walter is an all-conference performer in both the singles and doubles competitions. She is coming off an exceptional fall
a 6-2 record in singles.
"Last season, Carolin was the best player we had in our program," Scrivano said. "Her game is built around the serve."
Scrivano said he intended to expand Walter's versatility.
Sophomore Zuzana Cerna
reached the quarterfinals of the Intercollegiate Tennis Association's Southwest Regionals and won the doubles bracket alongside junior Daniela Covello.
"Cerna is one of the more talented players," Scrivano said. "She has improved a lot and could emerge as the top player for us."
One name to look out for is freshman Zuzana Zemenova. Scrivano said Zemenova was the most athletic player he had ever coached.
Because of a lack of seniors, Scrivano said he believed the Bears' success would depend on his players' mental maturity.
"I feel we have the athletes in place, but our attitude is going to determine how far we go," he said.
The Bears will be strong contenders for the Big 12 title come April.
Colorado
The Colorado Buffalooes have established themselves as a consistent program. Since coach Nicole Kenneally's arrival in 2001, the Buffaloes have progressively improved, finishing fifth in the conference last year.
CU
大和幸香
Sophomore Lynzee Kever enters her second season, having posted a successful freshman stint in 2004. The O k l a h o m a native competed at the top of the Buffalo's
KEVER
lineup and captured first team all Big 12 honors. She also was named the 2004 ITA Central Region Rookie of the Year. Kever registered 12 victories in the singles competition as a freshman and also contributed in the doubles.
With 54 career singles victories at Colorado, senior Kendra Strandemo posted a 9-3 mark in singles in 2004 conference play. Strandemo, alongside her doubles partner, junior Jessica Vanderdys, began the 2005 campaign ranked 52nd in the latest ITA Division I rankings.
Sophomore Martina Sedivec hopes to build off last season's momentum. The Canada native won five of her last six matches to close out the 2004 campaign.
Junior Jenny Hanson continues to show signs of improvement.
Three freshmen — Allison Quinn, Veera Nurmi and Brooke Stern — will be competing for extended playtime for Colorado. The lineup has a lot of balance to challenge the top programs in the conference.
TACO HIGH SCHOOL
Missouri
Once at the depths of the Big 12, the Missouri
Tigers have become a stead mid-level force.
Under coach Blake Starkey, the Tigers have gained the status of a respectable program over the last two seasons. In 2004, Missouri finished sixth in the conference with a 14-9 regular season record. Starkey, who began his tenure in 1997, is a simple coach who understands the process in the development
of his players. As a husband and father of two young children, Starkey possesses many perspectives on life and attributed his success to his family.
"I see things differently." Starkey said. "I want my players feeling comfortable. I want to be a coach that my own daughter feels comfortable with."

Sevcikova, a

Starkey said.
SEVCIKOVA
Sevicikova has the all-court game and is at her best when she attacks the net.
"She is a very gifted athlete,' he said.
Senior Mary Barry really developed her game last year If healthy, Barry is projected to be at the number three slot in singles.
Senior Carolyn Kramer, a Virginia Tech transfer, is another athletic talent who should contribute in 2005.
Junior Hana Kraftova is trying to overcome a poor Fall season. She is a solid baseliner and her toughest critic. Starkey said.
For Starkey, getting beaten is acceptable; losing is not.
"I don't expect my team to lose," he said. "If we focus on putting ourselves in position to win, then the wins will take care of themselves."

MANHATTAN — Kendra Wecker scored 26 points and grabbed 15 rebounds to lead No. 16 Kansas State to a 74-52
Fresh off a U.S. Amateur Championship, junior Rhino Page returned to the collegiate stage with a bang.
Page finished first overall and propelled the University of Kansas men's bowling team to victory. The men's bowling team has not won any tournaments since the first two of the season.
Page has participated in only three tournaments this season and the team took first in all three. While Page was with the Team USA bowling team, the KU men's team played in several tournaments. Most notable was a fourteenth place and an eleventh place finish during semester break.
Teammate Dan Ahl said the team needed to bowl well to make up for Page's absence. "It has made us a little more versatile," Ahl said.
Page was named the Most Outstanding Player on last year's championship team. He said finishing first at the Blue and Gold
Coach Mike Fine said he and his players joked after their latest victory that the team is now a "fully operational death star" with Page's return.
"I've overcome so many obstacles," Page said. "My confidence just keeps building. Right now it's the highest my confidence has ever been."
Invitational was special.
"We are a complete team again, which we've not had since the second tournament of the season." Ahl said.
Several players feel that the team has unlimited potential because of Page.
"The three victories feel really good," Page said. "But we want to go undefeated the rest of the season."
While the team aims to defend its title, the players expressed that they know they have to keep working on their game.
"We've got to practice hard, work hard and get better," Ahl said.
"There is no letting up because we can be beaten by anyone on any day."

The race is a 2000-meter sprint race; a fight to the finish line. And depending on the wind, it can last more than six or seven minutes. But ending those minutes with a victory is what each rower anticipates.
For the KU women's rowing team, this potential feeling will not come until March.
And even though there is no competition, the pressure remains to prepare for upcoming competitions. The team will focus on conditioning and building endurance.
"We do exercises that make us get to the point of being worn out," senior coxswain Crystal Reed said. "But that feeling will
come in a race where you have to keep going."
Reed is one of the coxswains, the individuals who steer the boat, call out strategies and set the rate of the boat. She does not row in a race, but works out with the rowers.
"We do the same reps as the rowers, just less weight," she said. "It shows the rowers that we work as hard as they do and shows that we are all part of the same team."
The team's training builds up the team with respect and hard work. The training serves as a way to support the teammates and pump each other up, Reed said.
Because the rowing team is not competitive on the water yet, they will continue to build up that attitude.
"We start to get that competitive edge going during our workouts," senior rower Erin
"We do exercises that
make us get to the point of being worn out. But that feeling will come in a race where you have to keep going."

Senior coxswain
Hennessey said. "We begin to build up our mental toughness."
The rowers also compete against their own teammates, so there is more pressure involved to succeed.
"With rowing, not only are you competing against other teams, but you have to compete for your seat in the boat." Hennessey said. "So you are

"They have really changed things up, so workouts aren't that monotonous," Reed said of the coaches. "We are so limited to what we can do so it's hard not to get restless. But that just makes us more excited for the water. Building up this team really gets us ready for our competition on the river."
That day will come March 26 in Austin, Texas, when the team will meet its biggest competition, Reed said.
"Texas is an incredible team year after year," she said. "It's hard to race them first. But we have improved as a team, putting us at a higher level. That first race is the first testament to the season. It sets the tone."

Federer outplays Agassi at Australian Open, looks to semis
I start to feel comfortable. Before we start though, I always look at our opponent, and then find the girl in my same seat, and know I can take her."
— Edited by Austin Caster
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MELBOURNE. Australia Roger Federer is playing so perfectly right now that he made Andre Agassi look average.
Defending champion Federer beat the eight-time major winner 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 yesterday in the Australian Open quarterfinals, taking the punch right out of the best counter-puncher on the circuit.
Federer hit 22 aces and extended his winning streak to 26 matches. He's also won 24 in a row against opponents ranked in the top 10.
"He just outplayed me," Agassi said. "He was too good. I would suggest to his next opponent that he doesn't look to me for advice."
That would be fourth-seeded Marat Safin, who lost to Federer in last year's Australian Open final and will face him this year
in the semifinals. Safin ousted No. 20 Dominik Hrbaty 6-2, 6-4, 6-2 and will be far fresher against Federer than in 2004, when the Russian had spent more than 18 hours on court through six matches.
The other men's quarterfinals are No. 2 Andy Roddick vs. No. 26 Nikolay Davydenko, and No. 3 Lleyton Hewitt vs. No. 9 David Naldanband.
Agassi, who withstood a record 51 aces by Joachim Johansson in the fourth round, had some answers for Federer's serve. But eventually the relentless forehands and half-volleys that Federer peppered from all parts of the court were simply too much.
"I came with high expectations. I wanted tonight to be memorable, but it's one I'd probably prefer to forget." Agassi said. "I never got my teeth into it, and when I don't get my teeth
into a match, I can look pretty ordinary."
Federer mesmerized the 15,535 fans at Rod Laver Arena with his array of shots, an eerie hush hanging over the usually vocal pro-Agassi crowd. Rare shouts of "Come on, Andre!" replaced the roars that normally echo around the stadium when Agassi is pounding winners from the baseline.
There was no high drama, nothing like the U.S. Open quarterfinal last September, when Federer won a five-set epic that spanned two days because of a rain delay and ended in high winds.
Federer easily dispatched the 34-year-old Agassi this time, improving to 5-3 head-to-head.
Federer broke Agassi in the sixth game, then saved four break points while serving for the set. A third ace in that game gave Federer his third set point,
and he took a service return from Agassi and turned it into a backhand winner down the line on the next point to seal it.
"I have no secrets," Federer said. "It's like roulette. I always pick the right numbers."
He broke Agassi in the opening games of the second and third sets.
"I always got the good start into each set so I think that made a difference," Federer said. "I could play with the confidence; he couldn't really. So that allowed me to take chances.
"I served perfectly — he never broke me. So I think that's what made me win."
Even Federer was amazed to learn he'd lost only seven points in his last eight service games, calling that "very surprising — especially against Andre."
Federer's 11 titles in 2004 included three Grand Slam events, making him the first man
since Mats Wilander in 1988 to win a trio of majors in a season. Now he's trying to become the first to win three straight Slams since Pete Sampras added the 1994 Australian Open to his wins at the Wimbledon and the U.S. Open in 1993.
Williams easily won her quarterfinal, eliminating No. 2 Amelie Mauresmo 6-2, 6-2, while Sharapova was on the verge of exhaustion when she clinched a 4-6, 6-2, 6-2 over U.S. Open champion Svetlana Kuznetsova in 2 hours, 17 minutes in the baking sun.
Serena Williams once won four straight majors — from the 2002 French Open through the 2003 Australian Open — but she hasn't played that well lately. She'll face Maria Sharapova in the Australian semifinals in a rematch of last year's Wimbledon final.
"I thought I couldn't go any
more." Sharapova said.
Williams was mostly bothered by the persistent talk that she and sister Venus have lost the aura they heid when they won a total of 10 majors from 1999-03.
"I'm tired of not saying anything, but that's not fair. We've been practicing really hard. We've had some serious injuries," she said.
She also discussed the death of half-sister Vetundo Price.
"We have a very, very, very close family," Williams said. "To be in some situation that we've been placed in the past little over a year, it's not easy to come out and just perform at your best when you realize there are so many things that are so important.
"We're not declining. I don't have to win this tournament to prove anything. I know that I'm one of the best players out here."

MADISON, Wis. — Topranked Illinois ended Wisconsin's 38-game home winning streak, the nation's longest, beating the Badgers 75-65 last night by scoring 14 of the game's final 15 points.
Led by Luther Head's 18 points, Illinois, 20-0, 6-0 Big Ten, snapped a five-game losing streak in Madison and became the first team to beat the Badgers at the Kohl Center since Wake Forest on Dec. 4, 2002.
The 18th-ranked Badgers, 13-4, 4-2, who led by eight points midway through the second half, fell to 53-3 at home under coach Bo Ryan, including 26-1 in the Big Ten.
Wisconsin took at 64-61 lead on Alando Tucker's drive to the basket with 4:31 left. But dreams of Wisconsin's first victory against a top-ranked opponent since beating Ohio State in 1962 soon faded.
The Badgers' most recent home win came when they scored the final 11 points of the game to beat Michigan State 62-59.
James Augustine, who was limited by foul trouble to 4 minutes in the first half, made two free throws with 4:11 left and Jack Ingram did the same at 3:39, putting the Illini ahead for good, 65-64.
Augustine, who scored 12 of his 14 points in the second half, added consecutive dunks to make it 69-64.
The only break in Illinois' run came when Kammron Taylor made one free throw with 1:07 left to make it 71-65.
Deron Williams added 13 points for Illinois and Roger Powell Jr. had 11.
Tucker had 16 points for Wisconsin and Sharif Chambliss added 14 and Mike Wilkinson 13.
The Badgers, who trailed 35-
33 at halftime, were just 5-of-12
from the free throw line and Illinois was 17-of-20.
With the score tied at 44 in the opening minutes of the second half, the Badgers committed two loose ball fouls on one possession and appeared to be cracking under the pressure.
Instead, they were about to take control — at least for a while.
Powell missed a jumper and Tucker hit an open 3-pointer at the other end. After Brown stole Tucker's in-bounds pass, Ray Nixon made an acrobatic block of Brown on a fast break and Tucker scored again to make it 49-44.
Williams turned it over and Taylor's basket made it 51-44.
Tucker's 3-pointer made it 56-48, and the Badgers had a chance to go up by double digits
— the most the Illini had trailed this season was by nine at Purdue on Jan. 8 — but Andreas Helmigk traveled and the Badgers unraveled.
Rich McBride's 3-pointer was followed by two free throws from Williams and two more from Head. After Taylor's basket gave the Badgers a 58-55 lead, Ingram hit consecutive threes to cap Illinois' 13-2 run and give the Illini a 61-58 lead.

POUNCE: Kansas banks on Colorado's mistakes
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
Justin Tafova/The Campus Press
Key play from the bench was provided by sophomore guard Sharita Smith, who scored eight points in the opening 20 minutes of play. A three-point shot from Smith as the halftime buzzer sounded gave the Jayhawks a 34-33 advantage at the break.

"Sharla gave us huge minutes." Henrickson said.
And the success of Smith's shot going into halftime was the result of a last-minute practice before the game.
"There's a reason we went over that in the shoot around," Henrickson said of the play that yielded Smith's first-half buzzer beater.
The momentum of the first-half ending play seemed to carry over as Kansas scored on its first possession out of the gate, but the offense slowed down abruptly.
In the opening four minutes after the break, Kansas committed four turnovers. Colorado took advantage and produced an 8-0 run to take the lead by five, 41-36.
Jayhawks junior guard Erica Hallman takes a shot over Colorado Buffaloes sophomore forward Anna Nedovic during last night's game in Boulder. The 'Hawks defeated the Buffaloes 65-60.
"We were so ugly offensively coming out in the second half," Henrickson said.
A quick five-point burst tied the game, and neither team made a push to pull away for the remainder of the contest.
Kemp, who was whistled for two first-half fouls, picked up her third foul at the 15:31 mark. The Jayhawk offense sputtered a little but survived the absence of its leading scorer using a defense that held the Buffalooes
within easy striking distance.
Kansas steadily tested the Colorado defense and two crucial Kemp baseline jump shots helped seal the victory for the Jayhawks.
The next road trip for Kansas
is on Saturday when the Jayhawks travel to Nebraska. Tip-off is scheduled for 1:05 p.m.

Hawkins back in game with three-point sharpshooting
WACO. Texas — People outside the Kansas basketball program may wonder where junior guard Jeff Hawkins' perfect three-point shooting performance came from last night.
Not his teammates though.
"In practice he does that all the time," senior guard Aaron Miles said. "His shot is so effortless and smooth, he can shoot," Miles said.
Miles recalled Hawkin's performance against Texas Christian on Dec. 31, 2003, when he scored a career high 19 points, including nailing five three-pointers.
Hawkins was in fact suspended from the team for about six weeks at the start of the season for behavioral reasons. He wasn't exactly on Kansas coach Bill Self's good side.
Last night, he matched that shooting performance shooting 5-for-5 from behind the arc and scoring 15 points in 13 minutes of play. But that was the first time since his game against TCU that he showed signs of being a consistent player for the layhawks.
Seeing how his teammates aren't surprised by the recent break out of the junior guard, it is obvious that they know something that most Kansas fans don't.
But despite the negative energy, Hawkins has remained positive and his teammates have stuck by him.
I am the manager of a team that plays in the league.
"From day one, I wanted to work hard
HAWKINS
and prepare myself, even when I wasn't playing," Hawkins said. "I kept going in practice, challenging the starting five. I just knew that coach would put me in at some point and when he gave me that chance, I would be ready."
Well, whatever he did, it got Self's attention. Hawkins has moved ahead of freshman Russell Robinson in the Jayhawk guard rotation. He played 17 minutes against Villanova and 13 minutes last night.
Self said he expects Hawkins' role to increase
"I see him playing himself into our rotation," Self said "Next game, he will be in our rotation. He would have been even if he didn't hit shots. He deserves to play."
Self doesn't have to convince the players that Hawkins deserved to be out there. Senior guard Keith Langford said he has known that all along.
"We never gave up on him," Langford said. "He went from
not even being on the team to getting serious minutes and making shots and that is helping everybody else out."
Hawkins attributes his red-hot shooting performance last night to a boost in confidence and a new mentality.
Last year, after the TCU game, Hawkins said he settled with his good performance.
"I was happy with what I accomplished," Hawkins said. "I thought that I was on top of the world and realistically I wasn't."
"Now I am just trying to have the mindset I am going to get my teammates better and work hard every day."
Basketball Notes:
Freshman CJ. Giles didn't make the trip to Baylor because of a bruised right foot. He is expected to be in a cast for the next couple of weeks.
No, freshman Russell Robinson is not injured. He just didn't play last night. Self said that he tried to insert Robinson in at the end of the game. But Robinson declined, offering his minutes to some of the guys who don't get to play as much.
The Jayhawks shot 53 percent from the field, 59 percent from three-point range and 77 percent from the free-throw line.

THREES: Accuracy earns Hawks a solid victory that Kansas is ready for a diffi
"I thought we visibly we had a change in attitude," he said. "We seemed to be a refocused group."
that Kansas is ready for a difficult run of Big 12 games.
If there was ever an opportune time for the Jayhawks to regain their focus, this was it. With Big 12 Conference games against Texas and Missouri coming up, Kansas will need focus and confidence.
Last night was an indication
"We need to be confident offensively and we need to see the ball go in, but it would be nice to see if we do it against Texas on Saturday," Self said. "But we needed this game."
Their hot shooting started early. They went 8-for-16 from
The Jayhawks exploded with a 15-2 run, but this time they didn't let up.
long range in the first half, including three each from Hawkins and sophomore guard J.R. Giddens. The Jayhawks had 24 points off threes, two less than the Bears' total halftime score.
Hawkins, who had nine points in six minutes of play, hit back-to-back threes with 10 minutes left in the half, giving the lavwhaves a 24-10 lead.
Kansas extended its lead to a 41-26 halftime advantage by
Despite Kansas' 15-point halftime lead, Miles still wasn't satisfied.
adding four more three-pointers late in the first period. Giddens, who up an errant shot early in the half, silenced the loud "AIR BALL" cheers from the fans by knocking down a pair of threes. Miles added one of his own.
"We could have put the foot down a little harder," Miles laughed. "We led by 15 at half and what did we win by? 20? Yeah, we could have squeezed
a little harder."
It almost looked like the Jayhawks might fall into their trend of surrendering large second half leads and creating close games, but the 'Hawks held tough.
The Jayhawks only stumble in the second half came when Bears junior guard Kevis Shipman hit consecutive three-pointers. Senior guard Keith Langford's high school teammate, junior guard Tommy Swanson, added another one with just more than 14 minutes to play, pulling the Bears to within eight, 51-43.
The Jayhawks let everyone know that it's going to take more than an embarrassing loss to hold that team down.
In the end, Kansas was just too much for a Baylor team with only six scholarship players.
The lajahawks went on a 10-1 run highlighted by back-to-back threes by Miles and Hawkins.

Beer on the agenda
Senate to vote on Union sales
BY DANIEL BERK
dberk@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Alcohol sales are one step closer to happening at the Kansas Union. Last night both the University Affairs and Student Rights committees passed a petition in the Student Senate asking the University to investigate allowing 3.2 percent beer to be sold in the Union.
Beer was last sold in the Union in 1997. Steve Munch, student body president and Bellevue, Neb., junior, and John Wilson, communications director, presented the petition.
Wilson, Lawton, Okla., senior, said "I'm very happy that we can move forward with this."
The petition will be presented to full Senate next Wednesday, and if passed, the petition will be viewed by the Memorial Corporation Board on Feb. 5.
The Memorial Corporation Board is made up of students, faculty, administrators and alumni. If the Board decides the petition is worth pursuing, it would then be passed on to the provost and the chancellor for a final decision.
Alcohol is allowed only at University functions, in the scholarship skyboxes at Memorial Stadium, during tailating at Memorial Stadium.
Munch and Wilson proposed that Hawk's Nest and Jaybowl in the Union be allowed to sell alcohol. David Mucci, director of the Memorial Unions and member of the Memorial Corporation Board, said he had looked at the resolution and that he thought it was a reasonable request.
"This seems like something that could eventually be accommodated," Mucci said. "The premise seems valid to me because I think it would be a good place for students to drink responsibly."
Mucci said that when the University offered beer at the Union in the past, the financial impact was minimal because there were not a lot of sales.
"People wanted to have a quiet time and have their beer to accommodate them. I would be very surprised if this is not how it would be if beer is sold in the future at the Union." Mucci said.
To ensure that only people of legal age drink, the University would adopt rules like those at Kansas State University. Mucci said the Jaybowl would give wristbands to people over 21 years of age, and that no pitchers of beer would be sold.
The University's Hawk Nights program might be affected by campus alcohol sales. The program's goal is to reduce underage drinking by giving students free alternatives to drinking.
Trisha Gresnick, the advisor to Hawk Nights, said Union alcohol sales might be a good thing because it could promote responsible drinking and it would give students a more controlled environment to drink in. But, Gresnick added, because the University is a dry campus, alcohol sales would take away from the University's mission a little bit.
Brunson's
"I'm indifferent right now," Gresnick said. "It would probably increase the Jaybowl activity, which is a good thing, but I am not sure it is in line with our university."
Gresnick said it remained to be seen whether Hawk Nights would lose money because of this decision. Hawk Nights gets money from the Alcohol Tax Grant, which gives money to organizations that offer alternatives to drinking and because some of their activities happen at the Jaybowl, it might affect the program in a negative way.

KSU,WSU examples for campus liquor sales

KANANS STAFF WRITER
In the Student Senate's petition last night was a clause about the presence of alcohol on other college campuses in Kansas.
According to the clause, the Board of Regents left the decision to sell alcohol on campus to individual universities. But sales must be done responsibly to prevent minors from consuming alcohol in order for the board to approve the petition.
Kansas State University and Wichita State University both sell 3.2 beer at their student unions.
And since 1995, Kansas State has sold 3.2 percent beer at its student union with no major incidents.
The beer is sold in the student recreation center at the union, which is similar to University of Kansas' Ivbowl.
The recreation center has bowling lanes, billiards and other arcade games. It does have strict rules about controlling the use of beer at the center.
All staff members at the center have to go through training from police on how to detect fake IDs and prevent underage drinking. Customers are only sold one beer at a time and pitchers are not sold. Additionally, the center uses different cups from those that serve soda or other beverages.
On busy nights, the recreation center will often give out wristbands to customers older than 21 to control minor consumption.

Melting plastic was dripping from one of the fluorescent light fixtures near the copy machine to the ground. When Perchellet left the room to alert someone, Rick Clement, special collections librarian, heard her boots pounding in the hall and investigated. He found the fire and put it out with two squirts from a fire extinguisher.
On Jan. 7, Celine Percheillet, Manhattan senior, was working in a copy room of the Spencer Research Library. After copying her papers, she sat at a table to sort through the stack she was compiling.
The University of Kansas is conducting an investigation because of the incident. KU officials are working with the contractor that installed the lights,
"After I sat down, I heard a series of loud drips," Perchelet said. "I turned around and saw the drips, and the carpet burst into flame."
Now other campus buildings may be at risk from the same problem.

Amy Gruber, senior swimmer, practices the butterfly stroke in the pool at the Robinson Center. Gruber competes in butterfly and freestyle events and is team captain.
Senior provides direction
BY KELLY REYNOLDS
kreynolds@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWINTER
In her final season as a Jayhawk, senior captain Amy Gruber will leave a legacy of positive leadership for the swimming and diving program.
She's a leader, a motivator and a hard worker who guides the team to success. With senior captains Becca Zarazan and Miranda Isaac by her side, there is nothing, she thinks, the team can't overcome.
Gruber is from Bigelow, Ark., but her family has moved to North Carolina She began swimming in a summer club when she was just five years old. When she was six, her mother introduced her to year-round swimming.
"I was like, 'Swimming all year? All right!'" Gruber said. "The team and competition have kept me going."
Swimming is arguably one of the most individual team sports. Each swimmer must compete individually in races, and each diver must compete individually in the diving rounds. The points combine for a team score.
So how does a captain and leader bring team camaraderie to such an individual sport?
"By keeping a positive attitude," Gruber said. "We're designated leaders."
"It's not role play. We're role models, especially for the incoming freshmen."
Leaders are often inspired by idols that they've always admired, but not Gruber.
"I look up to girls on the team who might not be as fast but show up every day, put the same commitment in and don't necessarily see the results of their hard work," she said.
Gruber first visited Kansas in December of her senior year of high school, when Cathy Burgess was the swimming coach. She immediately knew she wanted to come to Kansas.
"You just know where you belong.' said Gruber.
- Gruber was the Jayhawks' only representative at the NCAA championships last March. She swam the 50-yard and 100-yard freestyle, along with the 100-yard butterfly. She was also a member of the 2004 Summer National Team that competed in Palo Alto, Calif., at Stanford University. Captains Becca Zarazan and Miranda Isaac were also on that team.
Gruber specializes in the freestyle and butterfly events. Against Truman State last Friday, she clocked in at 1:53.32 in the 200-yard freestyle, taking first place and collecting nine points. She added 18 more points with victories in the 50 and 100-yd freestyle.
Gruber's not all business, though.
She's a fan of the "Harry Potter" books and the "Shrek" movies, and she's also a music fan.
"My favorite song right now is 'Beautiful Soul' by Jesse McCartney," Gruber said.
Like Gruber, the team leaves time for fun in the locker room before meets.
"At home meets, there's so much energy." Gruber said. "We have the music on, and everyone is singing and being silly."
The light atmosphere takes the pressure off, but the team becomes focused when it leaves the locker room, Gruber said. In upcoming meets, Gruber and the team are looking forward to challenging Drury and Arkansas.
"Just like Truman State, Drury is a Division II school and we've never swam them before." Gruber said. "They all want to beat KU, so they'll be out for us."
She's also looking forward to returning to her home state of Arkansas for a good match-up and to see a few of her friends from high school.
"I have a few friends that go to Arkansas, and they beat us two years ago." Gruber said.
Kansas competes against Drury on Jan. 28 and Arkansas on Jan. 29.

effort to raise money and bring awareness to the tsunami victims. Elena Larson, Lindsborg freshman, braved the cold to attend last night's event.
"It was meaningful for those who were here to show our support," she said. Since classes have started, the "KU Campaign for Tsunami Relief" has planned fundraisers, speakers and a dinner to raise relief money. They have collected money in front of Wesco Hall and inside the Kansas Union lobby. Volunteers for the campaign also attended the Kansas basketball games last week in Allen Fieldhouse.
"We have raised nearly $500 with our on-campus efforts," Jennifer Donnally, Lawrence junior, said. "It's so amazing, the students' generosity. It has been an uplifting process."
Donnally said that she and Rashida Banjee, doctoral student and president of KU UNICEF, were happy with yesterday's turnout despite the cold weather.
Before last night's vigil, Donnally had asked Don Steeples, professor of geology and vice provost for scholarly support, to repeat a lecture that he gave earlier this month.
Steeples said he knew there would be a lot of lives lost following the magnitude 9.0 earthquake. The earthquake that hit Southeast Asia was the fourth largest earthquake in the last hundred years.
"I knew that the numbers from Indonesia were going to be huge because that's where the shaking would have been greatest, that's where the tsunami would have been greatest." he said.
of the Lied Center, 10 days after the tsunami hit. He said he received many e-mails and phone calls urging him to talk about it. Steeples essentially compressed three lectures from his Earthquakes and Natural Disasters class.
Steeples first gave the lecture to a standing-room only crowd in the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics, west
"I've taught this stuff for many years," he said. "There was a lot of misleading stuff floating around in the news media."
For last night's lecture, Steeples removed pictures and video focusing on the damage and added a three-minute clip that demonstrated how an earthquake occurs underground and added a section that explained the lack of dead animals among the devastation.
KU UNICEF has fundraising planned until Feb. 4 with an international dinner planned for early February.

Dole fellows want to spark excitement for politics
Democrat, Republican to share campaign experiences during their semester-long tenures at the institute
BY JASON SHAAD
jshaad@ku.edu
KANSAY STAFF WRITER
The Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics introduced its first pair of Dole Senior Fellows yesterday as part of what institute director Bill Lacy called "an attempt to demystify politics."
Senior fellows Steven Jacques and Adam Taff have the practical experience to clarify political processes for students and the community. Lacy said.
Both senior fellows will have open offices at the institute this semester and will reside on campus, Taff said.
He said he would spend a significant amount of time on campus, in classrooms and at community gatherings.
Jacques, a White House staffer
for the Carter and Clinton administrations, recently finished working as a senior advance consultant for Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry's presidential campaign.

"There is no better mission than public higher education." Jacques said. "Politics is an honorable profession and this is a great opportunity to do a little pay back and show students and the community how it works."
Taff was the 2002 Republican nominee to run against Democrat Dennis Moore for Kansas' 3rd Congressional District seat.
Taff gained 47 percent of the vote but narrowly lost to Moore, who had 50 percent, according to the Kansas Secretary of State's Web site, www.kssos.org. Taff lost the Republican primary in 2004 for the same seat to Kris Kobach.
Taff said he was looking forward to working with Jaques,
even though the two belong to different political parties.
"I think that what Steven and I are doing is working for the common good." Taff said. "Everybody has different views, but we must find a way to work together, and that's what we're going to do."
As part of the institute's attempt to clarify politics, the fellows will play host to workshops for debate and information on the political process. Jacques said the goal for the workshops was that they would help students feel comfortable getting more involved in politics.
He said he had worked with several college students during the Kerry campaign and wanted to show more students how to get to that point.
"Politics is an honorable profession

Taff said he would compile a series of articles outlining how to run a successful campaign and what pitfalls campaigns
can encounter.
Part of the institute's plan this semester is to maintain the level of student political involvement that resulted from the presidential election, said Jonathan Earle, assistant director of the institute.
Earle said the fellows would help maintain that involvement by allowing students to get a first-hand perspective on what goes on in campaigning and elections.
The institute is holding a reception tonight to welcome Jacques and Taff. The reception is at 5 p.m. in the Dole Institute, 2350 Petefish Drive, located on West Campus next to the Lied Center. The event is free and open to students.
Ellsworth Hall offers students major assistance

3E program offers surveys, personality tests

Sarah Tucker was one of more than a thousand University of Kansas freshmen who were undecided on their majors last year, according to the Office of Institutional Research and Planning.
The Kansas City, Kan., freshman said she may major in English or film, but in her second semester, she was still unsure. Because of tools used by the Experience Excellence in Ellsworth, or the 3E program, Tucker is comfortable pursuing the two. The 3E program assists undecided freshmen in choosing a major.
To live in Ellsworth, the 570 residents are required to complete two personality assessment surveys, the Strong Interest Inventory and the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator.

Hayner said that the Ellsworth staff stressed the importance of 3E from the beginning of the year.

Sorem said that two computers were stolen from Eaton Hall over break, one from a classroom that had no surveillance cameras, and one that controls a large video board in the main lobby of the building.
He added that the new computer was well-secured to the wall. Sorem speculated that whoever stole the computer from one of the Eaton Hall labs used a window in the classroom to remove the computer and avoid the surveillance cameras in the commons area nearby.
He said the classroom the computer was stolen from would have surveillance cameras installed as soon as possible and that a security guard would continue to patrol the building every day.
Capt. Schuyler Bailey, KU Public Safety Office spokesman, said that all reported crime is down on campus.

EDITORIAL BOARD

There's a world outside the United States that matters
Young people in Ukraine, the largest state on the western border of Russia, realized it was time to protect their democratic future, and, in the last two months, some fought for a change. The Ukrainian "Orange Revolution" demonstrated that people should stand up for their beliefs and appreciate every opportunity. It also reminded young people across the world that they should always keep an eye on international events, which could influence foreign relations and U.S. policy.
The revolution, named after the color of Victor Yushchenko's party, Our Ukraine, ignited after fraudulent elections. In November, the electoral commission announced the new president: Moscow-backed Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych. Observers of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, however, called the election turnouts "highly suspicious and unrealistic." As a result, supporters of the Western-learning Yushchenko poured into the streets. Demonstrations continued until last Sunday when the new president, Victor Yushchenko, was sworn in.
Although the elections are done, students should continue following the events in the region. Changes in the Ukrainian government will influence future U.S.-Russian relations. The relationship between the United States and Russia has been one of cooperation determined by self-interest.
In the last four years, the U.S. foreign policy team ignored internal matters of the Russian state such as lack of democratic institutions, free press and human rights.
Yet, with Ukraine, the United States had to take a stand. Secretary of State Colin Powell said that Washington was "deeply disturbed by the extensive and credible reports of fraud." Support for Yushchenko was clear, as were the conflicting views of President George W. Bush and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Another factor that might shake the Bush-Putin relationship is the recent U.S. interest in new military bases in Eastern Europe, namely Bulgaria and Romania. This poses a question of whether the United States would take advantage of another strategically-positioned country, which would enhance NATO's capabilities. Ukraine has partnership agreements with the EU and NATO, but is not a member. The goal of Ukraine's new president is to incorporate the state into modern Europe, and so, he might also lead Ukraine into NATO. Yet, Russia has always viewed Ukraine as one of its satellites and it is likely that Putin would try to prevent U.S. presence on Ukrainian territory.
On the other hand, as BBC world correspondents write, events on the western border of Russia could influence future liberalization of the state. Since January, President Putin has faced rare criticism and street demonstrations.
No matter what turn Russian politics take, Eastern Europe has changed and so will U.S. foreign policy. Therefore, it is important to remember that change comes from the inside, and no matter where it occurs, it will influence the global political agenda.
Today, international leaders have the ability to affect the life of every person. Also, the United States is the world's strongest military power, and U.S. citizens can influence the lives of people who are thousands of miles away. Thus, as an educated person who has the right to vote, every college student must stay informed. Students should take advantage of the various information sources.
They should appreciate the opportunity to go to school in a free state and be exposed to different perspectives. It is a student's civic duty to form an opinion and express it. Because, as the Ukrainians showed once again, there is no way people can be heard if they do not raise their voices.

Tsunami forewarning half-hearted
A tragedy has come out of the recent violent tsunami. Hundreds of millions of dollars raised to aid victims has stemmed from the tragedy. But for speculators, that aid isn't enough. What it really comes down to is that people feel the need to blame somebody or some country.
COMMENTARY
COMMENTARY
On the Web site japantoday.com Neil Western wrote an article about a far-fetched theory that claimed aliens were responsible for the tsunami.
Apparently, the earth's rotation was wobly and the earthquake fixed it. So it looks now as though aliens are trying to help humans instead of hurting them or destroying them, as movies and science fiction suggest.
In an article in The Seoul Times, Gautaman Bhaskaran wrote that India was to blame for the 10,000 deaths in India. Certain Indian cities, he said, formed because of tsunami incidents many years ago.
Bhaskaran said the Indian administration knew what effects the Indian Ocean could have on civilians surrounding it. He claimed the Indian administration basically chose to ignore predictions of the tsunami by staying out of the Pacific Tsunami

Warning System. Doing so prevented Indian officials from gaining knowledge of the tsunami. He even said India had paid for its foolishness. A tragic thought, but he's just looking for someone to blame.
More realistic, and more believable than the alien theory, is the claim that the United States was responsible for the tsunami. Dozens of articles state the United States, which was working with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, knew of the deadly tidal wave in the Indian Ocean about five hours before the earthquake.
In the Dec. 29, 2004, edition of The Washington Times, Jeff LaDouce, director of the National Weather Service's Pacific Region and head of the
That so-called bulletin must have been the e-mail sent to officials in Indonesia.
But no phone call was made about the earthquake, which LaDouce said was not a "tsunami-producer."
The phone calls that were made were directed to people at the U.S. Navy base in Indonesia. Tsunami-producer or not, the defenseless people in Indonesia had every right to know what was about to change their lives.
Who knows what could have happened if just one call was made to the Indonesian government. The lack of equipment and knowledge caused 220,000 deaths to those living around the Indian Ocean. Except for the Americans at the base.
The pain far worse than the wounds, dehydration and hunger is the pain these victims felt after losing one or more — or all — of their family members. Anybody can be blamed, but it won't take back the results of the deadly tsunami.

Greek stereotypes silly, irrelevant
Greek and nongreek status is well on its way to becoming the newest trend in personality traits. With 18 percent of female students and 14 percent of male students part of greek life on campus, distinctions will naturally be drawn inside and out.
But it is far-fetched to say that each of the University of Kansas' nearly 21.000 undergraduate students can be grouped into two exclusive categories.
HERE'S TO YOU
You are probably in the minority at the University if you have never been asked what greek house you belong to.
HERE'S TO YOU
Whether the infamous question is simply an expression or is truly profiling when you've been introduced is debatable. But a great divide still exists between those who are greek and those who aren't.
Being green and having best friends that are not, I know all of the stereotypes and nicknames that are out there. But I still don't fully understand their significance.
RAY WITTLINGER
rwittlinger@kansan.com
Too often, it seems that a certain bar or club has been labeled "fratastic" or greek-only. Certain ways of wearing clothes or dressing for class seem to be attributed to one or a few sororities.
It often even goes as far as what clubs or campus organizations are OK to join based on your status as independent or a greek.
At a university such as ours, I have always believed that being greek and being nongreek have something to offer. Some students prefer their own space and mingling in a residence hall or apartment building with members of the opposite sex. Others thoroughly enjoy brotherhood, sisterhood or all the parties in between. Nowhere, though, does it say those two people have to be polar opposites.
If someone in my pledge class introduces me to his girlfriend and feels compelled to tell me that she is not in a house or feels excited to tell me which one she belongs to, that's up to him.
Frankly, I could care less. I hope that I can someday ask a girl if she's in a sorority and receive a simple yes or no, rather than "Oh, of course I am" or "God no, do I look like am?"
There are many reasons why a person would join a certain house or not join any.
While I am a proponent of the greek system, I have to confess that I have never bought into the idea of definitely being more successful in life when affiliated with a house. Benefits and connections are certainly plentiful and helpful, but they're just not limited to a few.
At this point in life, people seem to find their own way to unwind after a long week of lectures and quizzes. While in Lawrence, it is nearly impossible not to find some sort of fun.
Whether you drink, cruise the bars, play poker, watch movies or just hang out around someone's room, it shouldn't matter if the person standing next to you lives with 80 guys on Emery Road or just with four of his best friends on Massachusetts Street.

EXAMPLES: Bowling with beer
CONTINUED FROM 1A
David Mucci, director of the Kansas Memorial Union, said similar security would be used if alcohol was ever sold at the Union. Terry Eddy, Kansas State recreation manager, said that at first she did not really support the issue because she thought it would lead to irresponsible drinking and unnecessary problems on campus. She has since changed her mind.
"This program continues to be a plus both for our union and our university," Eddy said. "This provides students with a controlled place to drink responsibly and relax."
Eddy said that typically if students are drinking to get drunk, they will go to Aggieville. Aggieville is on the banks of the Kansas River and consists of retail stores, restaurants and night spots. Eddy said that the recreation center provides more
of a relaxed atmosphere.
Eric Herman, Kansas State student says that he doesn't look at the recreation center as a drinking establishment.
"I've never gone there just to drink," Herman said. "I've gone with a group of friends and bowled, and some of the guys I'm with have gotten a beer or two, but it's not a place that we go out to regularly."
"Bowling and beer go together," Bernard Pitts, the director of the union, said. "We wanted to provide our students with a place where they could go bowl and also have a drink."
Bowling is a big reason that Kansas State decided to bring alcohol to the union. The university has numerous bowling leagues for students.
Football stadium skyboxes are the only other location, where Kansas State sells alcohol.

University and Chevron officials are perplexed as to the cause of the fire. Steve Spurgeon, Chevron marketing manager, said they were looking at the fluorescent bulb and powering device as possible culprits. Perchellet was unable to see
The independent testing company was brought in because neither the manufacturers nor Chevron had ever encountered this situation, Spurgeon said.
The investigation will take one month, he said.
University officials would like to think the fire was an isolated incident, but Riat said they would rather err on the side of caution than assume a one-in-a million chance.

WORTHY: Team has come far
— Edited by Ross Fitch
Too many fouls. of course.
And there's the pattern. Henrickson is quite a coach. And while it required $500,000 alone to buy out her old contract with Virginia Tech, the money appears to be well-spent.
She's proven she can motivate and unite a team that was known to have problems. During the last few years rumors swirled of fights and arguments in practices. The concept of team was clearly foreign to the women's basketball program.
In just one year, Henrickson has swept out a bad apple or two and has built a winner out of role players. Granted, a 500 record is hardly something to trumpet, but the team has pulled down a couple of conference victories and has hung tough with several ranked opponents.
Not bad for a team expected to lay a goose egg in the conference.
Henrickson has appeared in seven straight postseason tournaments, Women's NIT and NCAA Tournaments. Don't get used to that, though, because even with a short squad — in both height and numbers — she's accomplished more than expected.
Really, after the last few seasons, things can only go up.
Henrickson is fond of saying that, at almost any opportunity she can get, if you're not with the team, you're against it. That might not be true, but who am I to judge?
Back to where this started,
true fans come in many colors.
Maybe it's time to give the women's team a chance.

ENVIES: Fieldhouse jealousy
during home football games — to support the basketball team
CONTINUED FROM 10A
Not exactly the same kind of effort Kansas coach Bill Self needs to put forth, knowing not only that every home game will be sold out, but that students will be camping out for prime seats. It is not just the big games when KU fans camp out, Self said.
Barnes has visited Allen Fieldhouse three times in his coaching career, losing on each occasion.
"There were 25 fans out there on Saturday night when we got back from Villanova," he said.
Every game went down to the wire, though, and he got a taste of how the raucous Kansas fans can help lift their team to victory.
"People in the seats do wonders for team morale." Self said. "It's amazing how players can feel the energy in the building."
Self complimented KU fans for
always rising to the occasion when the team needed them most.
"They're supposed to be your sixth man and give you a lift when things aren't going the best," he said.
The other aspect of Kansas basketball that Barnes admires is Allen Fieldhouse. Even though the Frank Erwin Center is the only Big 12 arena larger than Allen Fieldhouse, he relishes every opportunity he gets to play in the Phog.
Despite all his experience, if he could choose any stadium, to move to Austin, Texas, for his Longhorns to play their home games in, it would be Allen Fieldhouse, he said.
"You've got to like the old fieldhouse feel," Barnes said. "It's unique in the fact that, well, it's a fieldhouse. I think anyone who plays there realizes it's one of the unique places to play in college basketball."

BIG JOHNNY FOO-FOO A zine with local origins spreads its quirkiness abroad
BY NEIL MIUKA
nmuika@kansan.com
KANSAN STFF WRITER
The content contains a fake advice column from the rap artist Jermaine Dupri, a review of an elementary school lunch, and a persuasive essay about the benefits of drinking at work.
This is just a sample of "Johnny America," a literary zine edited by Jonathan Holley, Topeka graduate student, and Emily Lawton, 2000 graduate. A zine is another name for a small, independent magazine. Zines are usually cut, pasted and Xeroxed, but "Johnny America" is actually printed.
What started in 1998 as a literary exchange between Holley and Lawton has grown into a Web site and a 48-page zine that distributes 200 copies throughout the upper-Midwest, New York City and Melbourne, Australia. The duo tries to publish it three times a year, but only put out two issues in 2004.

They gave each other assignments to write creative stories and
The Web site describes Johnny America as "a small magazine of fiction, humor, and other miscellany."
Lawton described it as ironically self-important with a focus on content with a sense of humor.
It contains serious stories, but with twists of humor, Holley said.
The editors are not interested in poetry. The Web site has a disclaimer that warns submitters that it will be rejected. They accept about one third of the submissions they receive.
"It was the funniest thing I read in a long time and I really like it." Ian Spiridigliozzi, 2002 graduate said. "I want to say it's quintessentially Midwestern. It's sardonic. They play with genres very well."
It was the humor of "Johnny America" that inspired

"It doesn't set any sales records or break anybody's bank," said Corcoran. "But people know it's there and they come up here, buy it and people come in here asking for it.
There are also "Johnny
America" stickers, matches and pins featuring the starry-eyed rabbit, Johnny America himself, for sale on the zine's Web site.
Holley said that "Johnny America" is also part of a nonprofit organization called the Moon Rabbit Drinking Club & Benevolence Society, which was formed in Kansas for literary purposes.
He said if the zine survives for a couple more years it will qualify for money from the state and maybe put out a "Johnny America" anthology.
Lawton said he thought that Holley applied for the nonprofit status for a different reason.
"He wanted to get a discount for a book," Lawton said. "I think it was an architecture book."

'Hawks to face improved teams
BY RANUL SHARMA
rsharma@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWINTER
NEBRASKA
The highest-ranked singles player from the Big 12 Conference entering the 2005 season, senior Gitte Ostermann is the most accomplished tennis player in the conference, and she belongs to the Cornhuskers. Ranked No 19 in the country, Ostermann, a three-time All-Big 12 Conference first-team selection, is a solid candidate for Big 12 Player of the Year honors in 2005.
Ostermann won the ITA Regional championship in Tulsa, Okla., during fall season and posted a 7-1 record in singles.
BROWNING
"She is capable of competing with anyone in the country," Scott Jacobson, who is entering his 15th year as coach at Nebraska, said. "She had a great fall. She's been healthy as she's ever been."
Junior Pamela Castillejos has seen her stock rise during the last season. Castillejos had an excellent start to the fall season in 2004, as she won three out of four singles matches against conference opponents.
"Pamela has the all-court game and runs very well," Jacobson said.
Jacobson said freshman Imkе Reimers was the most talented recruit he had ever brought to Nebraska. Reimers possesses an all-court game as well, as evident in her style of serve and volley coupled with slugging balls from the baseline.
Senior Katie Garcia, the hometown hero from Lincoln, could fulfill the leadership role for the Cornhuskers, Jacobson said. In fact, Garcia has been named team captain for the third straight season. Jacobson expects Garcia to contribute greatly in the doubles competition.
Juniors Jennifer Cremieux and Milena Schulz-Gartner will seek more playing time in hopes of contributing in both singles and doubles. Ewelina Skaza, a junior transfer from the University of Miami (Fla.), tallied a solid exhibition in the fall season.
With the talent level at Nebraska, this could be the year the Cornhuskers make a serious run for the conference title. Jacobson.
who has led Nebraska to nine straight winning seasons, sure thinks so.
"The skill level is the highest it's ever been in the 14 years I've been here." Jacobson said. "We have the strength, but we got to stay healthy."
TEXAS TECH
With programs like Texas, Texas A&M and Baylor consistently competing for the Big 12 title, Texas Tech is sometimes overshadowed in the Lone Star State. It doesn't help that the Red Raiders have finished eighth or worse in the conference since 1997.
"We want to increase our ranking in the Big 12," coach Cari Groce said. "We would like to improve our regular season record as well."
Groce, before arriving in Lubbock, Texas, led Washington State to four NCAA tournament appearances. In her second season at Texas Tech, Groce understands the nature of competition. In 2004, Groce guided the Red Raiders to 11 victories for the first time since 1998.
With four freshmen on the roster, Texas Tech is a young team with potential.
Freshman Janet Durham, Groce said, could emerge into one of the best players to ever attend the program.
"Janet's come in and worked really hard," Groce said. "She will be one of our top doubles player."
Freshman Amandine Perot is expected to make an immediate impact.
"She will add depth to the team
1
MASNIC
and add another solid player."
The two remaining freshmen, Cigdem Duru and Erin Hunter, are both strong players who will seek plenty of action in 2005. Groce said. Hunter's game includes aggressive baseline play and big ground strokes.
"Erin is picking up our system very quickly." Groce said.
Junior Tara Browning is the team's captain, and Katja Kovacic is a fierce competitor who doesn't mind letting her emotions out, Groce said.
"We need to get accustomed to playing at the high level," Groce says. "For us, preparation is going to be the key."
In Stillwater, Okla., the women's tennis program will experience another season of rebuilding. Last year, Oklahoma State placed 10th in the conference, 12 matches under .500. This comes just three years after the Cowgirls won a share of the Big 12 title alongside the Texas Longhorns in 2001.
OKLAHOMA STATE
"I have a very young team," coach Julius Lubicz-Majewski, the 2001 Big 12 coach of the year, said.
In fact, Oklahoma State has lost eight players during the last two seasons, adding to the difficulty of sustaining veteran talent.
Oklahoma State's run of five straight winning seasons came to an end last season as the Cowgirls lost seven different matches by a final of 4-3.
In 2005, Oklahoma State's roster consists of three incoming freshmen. Expect Iryna Tkachenko to make an immediate impact. Tkachenko is an up- and coming talent in the Big 12. Junior Sandra Blajer is developing as a player, but junior Zana Masnic will be the one to watch, Lubicz-Majewski said. Masnic, who competed at the fourth singles slot in 2004, is expected to compete at the second singles spot behind Tkachenko.

"Zana may surprise some people," Lubiz-Majewski stated.
Lubicz-Majewski said the progress of his team in 2005 would depend on the under-classmen's hard work.
"We are going to teach the kids of dealing with pressure, especially with a young team," he said. "If my players try hard, that is OK with me."

Network to broadcast its new road show live from Allen Fieldhouse

Steven Bartkoski/KANSAN
The original floor and the trophy case in Allen Field house is where ESPN College GameDay will be broadcasting to see the No. 6 Jayhawks play host to the No. 16 Texas Longhorns. GameDay will shoot three different shows on Saturday, including one at 10 a.m. that will include the first 40 groups of student campers as the fans.

if you've ever flipped your television to ESPN on Saturday during college football season, you're probably familiar with College GameDay.
The live telecast features well-known ESPN announcers sitting at a table with cheerleaders, mascots and frenzied fans in the background.
It's basically a two-day promotional event for the school of choice; a chance for fans to go on national television and show the whole country how great their school is.
This year, ESPN College GameDay added a new show to its agenda, a college basketball road show. Its second ever college basketball road show stop! Lawrence.
The whole GameDay gang will be in town to see the No. 6 Kansas Jayhawks play host to the No. 16 Texas Longhorns.
The crew will arrive tomorrow and broadcast live shows on Friday and Saturday from the east lobby of Allen Fieldhouse in the trophy case area.
Rece Davis, analysts Jay Bilas and Digger Phelps and ESPN senior writer Andy Katz will host the shows. Dick Vitale, who will provide color commentary for the game, will join the team for Saturday's later shows.
The crew will do four to five hours of shooting on Friday, including a live segment for ESPN News. It will also tape segments for SportsCenter, GameDay producer Barry Sacks said.
Cold Pizza, ESPN's morning show, will also broadcast live from Allen Fieldhouse on Friday.
The doors to Allen Fieldhouse will be open from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. for all fans to participate in the filming of Cold Pizza, producer Rosemary O'Brien said.
If you flip your TV to ESPN tomorrow or Saturday, you will probably see the well-known announcers live at your school, with your cheerleaders and
your fans in the background.
Sacks said he encouraged everyone to get in on the action.
"The student body is welcome to join us for all of the shows." Sacks said. "We encourage them to be active and show school spirit."
Tipoff is at 8 p.m. on Saturday, but the ESPN festivities begin in the morning.
GameDay will shoot three shows from Allen Fieldhouse on Saturday.
The first will be a live, three-hour show at 10 a.m. During the morning show, the analysts will talk college basketball and pick the projected winners of all of Saturday's games, including the winner of the Kansas vs. Texas game, Sacks said.
Kansas coach Bill Self is expected to appear live on the show, and ESPN will also do a feature story on junior walk-on forward Christian Moody.
The fans for the 10 a.m. show will be the first 40 groups of student campers.
Later in the evening, ESPN will broadcast at 7 p.m. This show will be limited to ticketed fans only, according to KU media relations.
Following the game, there will be an 11 p.m. broadcast that will appear on SportsCenter. The crew will talk postgame and select Saturday's plays of the day.
Sacks said ESPN encouraged all fans attending the game to wear their school colors.
Think all of this excitement has gone to the players' heads?
Nah.
"I just want to play the game, man," senior guard Aaron Miles said. "We're just focused on Texas."
The Longhorns will come into Saturday's game with a 15-4 record, including a Big 12 loss to Oklahoma
"The student body is welcome to join us for all of
the shows. We encourage them to be active and show school spirit."

last Saturday.
"Texas is having some personnel problems, just like we did when Wayne went out," Self said. "But they will be ready. This is a big game for us."
They will play without starting point guard PJ. Tucker.
If Kansas can hold off Texas, they will move to 6-0 in the Big 12.

Women's coach proves to be worthy
Before you get the wrong idea, this is not the obligatory "you have to go to all Kansas sporting events to be a true fan" column.
Approaching this season, it's fair to say that expectations for the women's basketball team were fairly low, at least outside the program. At the Big 12 Conference media day back in October, the pundit seemed fairly certain that the Jayhawks were looking at an 0-16 conference record and many, many struggles.
The team stumbled out of the gate with a homecourt season-opening loss to Texas — the Mavericks. Texas is certainly a hot spot for athletics, but Arlington isn't the school that usually crops up as a national powerhouse.
A late charge and just plain cold shooting dealt the lajhawks an early loss.
"The result isn't going to change unless we make changes. There isn't one thing, it's literally probably 50 different things," coach Bonnie Henrickson said after the game.
Fifty changes later, the team met Dartmouth out of the Ivy League on a quiet day just after finals concluded. About 2,000 fans were treated to some kind of a show.

Kansas jumped out to a quick lead and rolled over the Big Green, 84-51. Few members of the media were there, but those of us who were present heard Henrickson continue to pick
Demand high for tickets
More than a thousand students who tried to get tickets to upcoming Kansas men's basketball games against Texas and Missouri during this week's redemption period were entered into a lottery and will be notified of their status today.

so winning students will receive tickets to Saturday's game against Texas and Monday's game against Missouri. Students awaiting their lottery fate were frustured with the new system. Last year, students were guaranteed tickets during a week-long redemption period.
"It'll suck if I don't get them, but I guess it's a pretty fair system." Luke Fast, Salina senior, said. "I'll just try to watch the games on TV."
He said 1,050 students who tried to redeem on Tuesday were entered into a lottery for the remaining 200 student tickets. The drawing is all-or-nothing
director Jim Marchiony said everyone who went on Mon d ay received a ticket.
Marchiony said the new system was instituted to create a less-packed student section.
"We've been working very closely with the fire marshal to be sure that there is no overcrowding," he said.
Students who entered the lottery but do not get tickets will be entitled to a refund of $5 per game, Marchiony said.

Coach envies Jayhawk spirit
Longhorns lacking supportive fans, tradition
KELLIE ROBINETT

KANSAN SPORTSWITER
Barnes got his first taste of the Kansas mystique six years ago and has said nothing but good things since. Texas has a 3-4 record against Kansas under Barnes. The rivalry between the two teams has become so intense that ESPN is broadcasting its basketball version of "College Gameday," which the network sends to what it considers to be the best game of the week, live from Allen Fieldhouse before the contest.
When Texas coach Rick Barnes first went to Texas in 1998, he left behind a successful Clemson program. It played second fiddle to the tradition-rich Atlantic Coast Conference teams such as Duke and North Carolina. So Barnes left because he simply wanted more.
He envisioned playing in front of sell-out crowds every night, national ranking conference titles and Final Fours. He wanted to coach for an elite program in a major conference. In other words, he dreamed of turning Texas basketball into a program that could rival Kansas.
"I have great respect for Kansas and that, program and tradition," Barnes said. "I think every team in the league looks forward to when Kansas comes in every year or every other year."
The Longhorn coach thinks so highly of the matchup that, in the past, he has suggested playing Kansas twice a year. Once in a nonconference game to create even more of a rivalry.
"Everyone likes those league rival-
ies," he said. "Everyone in the league,
This yearly contest has become a premier match both because the two have played some of the greatest games in Big 12 Conference history, and because of the success, Barnes has achieved at Texas thus far.
not just Texas, knows about and respects Kansas and their tradition."
He has guided the Longhorns to the NCAA Tournament six straight times, and reached the Final Four in 2003. Texas also joins Kansas as one of five teams that have reached the Sweet Sixteen each of the last three years.
Compiling a record of 156-62, which is an average of 23.5 wins a year, he has turned Texas into a yearly contender for the conference title.
His success has increased the number of nationally televised games at the Frank Erwin Center, which recently underwent $52 million worth of renovations.
Still, as good as Texas has been under Barnes, he has not received the same kind of support from the army of burnt orange, football-loving Texans that the Kansas basketball team receives on a daily basis.
Playing in a stadium that holds close to 17,000 fans, Texas, on average, has only filled 9,907 seats a game this season. More than 16,000 fans came out to watch Texas take on Oklahoma State, but that is the only time the Longhorns have their house full.
At 11 home games this year, fewer than 10.000 fans attended six times.
Barnes has grown so annoyed with the lack of support that he has pleaded with Texas fans — on the jumbotron

Swingers
Couples sway away from monogamy and discover that sometimes more really is sexier.

C. ..
Jyndi walks in the front door of a very familiar home. Her friends are having a little get-together. The straps from her silky black dress cling to her shoulders as she rings the doorbell. She strolls inside, immediately checks out everyone at the party and asks her host to mix her a cocktail. Strong. She eyes a couple sitting on the couch across the room. Glancing over to a mirror on the wall, she makes sure she still looks as hot as she did when she left home. She picks up her drink and approaches the couple. They're lounging on a couch, legs intertwined, revealing the woman's smooth upper thigh. They strike up a conversation with her about the weather. Or politics. Or sports. It doesn't matter. The dialogue soon turns to the matter at hand. So what sort of stuff are you in to? Do you like to role-play? Do you both want to stay together all night?
Cyndi swings. She has more sex with more people and more often than most people can imagine. She's been doing it since she was 16 years old. She's lived in a female-male-female triad relationship for two-and-a-half years. She and her partners in the relationship founded LACouples, the largest swing club in California. Now what would compel a young woman like Cyndi to get involved in this lifestyle? "Because sex is good and that pleasure is good for you," she says.
A definitive answer as to why swangers swing is hard to find. Too often swinging is associated with practices like "key clubs" — a popular movement in the 1970s in which husbands would throw their house keys into a hat and their wives would then pick the keys whose owners would then become their sexual partners for the night. It's also called "wife-swapping."
How to get started
While key clubs and wife swapping focus on individuals, swinging has evolved into an alternative lifestyle that combines sexual non-monogamy and emotional monogamy in the couples that practice it.
...
Tony Lazzeratta, executive director for North American Swing Club Association (NASCA) International, the largest legitimate association of swinging clubs in the world, says that the stigma surrounding swinging is unfounded. "In reality," he says, "swinging is a lifestyle of social activities for couples in committed relationships to be in a social, sensual environment with other like-minded couples."
According to a study of more than 1,000 swingers in a 2000 edition of the Electronic Journal of Human Sexuality by researchers at Bellarmine University, figures vary from 2 to 15 percent of couples in America have incorporated a form of swinging into their relationships at least once. Lazzeratta says the low end of that range is more likely. When it comes down to the people who actually do swing, the people are about as mainstream as they come. The study even goes as far to say that swinging couples are more likely to be politically conservative than anything else.
Vol. 2 issue18 1.27.05
Republican swingers? These aren't your typical "sexual deviants." They could be firemen, attorneys, teachers and doctors. Lazzeratta says he even knows of a few sportcasters for Los Angeles professional teams that have been known to show up at the club with their roles. The stud
You have to be in a real relationship with
also suggests that most swingers are more likely to be less racist, less sexist and less homophobic than the general population.
Lazzeratta estimates between 60 to 70 percent of swing gatherings take place in people's homes. Typically, a couple that has been swinging for a while will plan a party for about 10 couples. They will tell some couples that they know swing and ask them to bring a coupe or two who may be interested in giving it a try.
a real person to attend most swing parties. Unless you're a woman. Sorry single guys, but you can imagine the problems if you went in alone. The ratio of boys to girls would be worse than a D&B party. And don't think you can bring a friend and play her off as your girlfriend. Tony Lazzeratta says that experienced swingsers have a way picking you out in a crowd and you won't be asked to come back.
Your first task will be to talk to your partner. As almost every relationship expert will tell you, the worst thing you can do with swinging is enter into it while having doubts.
After you've made it past the toughest stage, you'll want to talk to some couples with experience. Cyndi says that a couple should learn as much as possible before starting. There's nothing wrong with knowing too much.
Still interested? Get on the Web. There are more clubs, groups and chat rooms for swinging on the Web than there are hairs on your head. Swingers always love to meet newbies.
The bottom line is that you need to communicate with your partner and make sure it is something you both want. Be confident about your choice. If you believe your relationship will grow and prosper, who's to say you can't do it?
A swing party looks like any other party on the surface.
Cocktails. Hors d'ouvres. Men talk about football. Couples stick together throughout the night. As Lazzeretta puts it, "It's not every man or woman for themselves. Swinging is about the experience as a couple."
After a few drinks, the conversations start to deviate a bit. Couples begin to probe each other with questions like "Do you want to play?" and "What are you into?" From there, anything is possible. Foursomes. Eightsomes. Sixteensomes. Some head to the bedroom. Some are in the middle of the action. Some just watch. But most importantly, as Lazzeratta says, the couple decides what to do together.
Not every couple that goes to swing parties end up in the midst of an orgy. Couples may accept or decline an invitation for play. A couple is more than welcome to attend a party and only have sex with each other. In fact, they don't even have to have sex. Lazzeratta says 30 to 40 percent of couples go to parties just to be a part of the sensual environment. Plenty of attendees are comfortable just watching.
The other major places for swinging are commercial swinging clubs. However, these are not as popular for a number of reasons. First off, commercial clubs are membership-driven. Most couples won't want to pay a $40 fee for a night at a club when they can have a similar experience at a private swingers party at someone's home for free. Also, commercial clubs are a tough business to run.

Arranged marriage myths stereotypes dispelled
By Samara Nazir, Jayplay writer
For Sheba Shaffie, a psychiatrist in Overland Park, the marriage process all happened so fast. Her soon-to-be husband Khalid was visiting Pakistan with the intention of finding a wife. His sister-in-law recommended Shaffie, who was interning at the hospital where she worked. Khalid visited Shaffie at the hospital on Feb. 2, 1978, and 15 days later, once both families had made the final arrangements, Shaffie and Khalid were married.
in a predominately love-marriage society, the concept of an arranged marriage may seem startling. But, a majority of people in several Middle Eastern, South and East Asian countries prefer the process. Women are usually not forced into arranged marriages but agree to them for family values and religious, cultural and even personal beliefs.
Shaffie defines arranged marriages as a process without courtship, where an agreement of marriage is made but not forced upon either side. Arranged marriages hold both cultural and religious significance. Arranged marriage is

the process preferred by the Pakistani community where Sheba grew up, so she learned to understand and accept it.
In fact Shaffie even recommends arranged marriages. She says parents, who are making the decision, are the ones who know you the best and go through particular care in picking someone for you.
"When you go to buy a shirt, you look at it from every angle," Shaffie says. "You try it on, show it to your friends and family and are always willing to get an experts advice." Why not take the same care with marriage?
For Shaffie, there was also the excitement of getting to know someone in a completely new situation. Plus, she says, she's able to learn and adjust to Khalid's personality and traits throughout her marriage.

Feeling a little down this winter? That's OK, everyone gets a little sad now and then. But if you feel depressed every time winter comes around you may have a problem. You may have the winter blues.
While the name doesn't sound all that serious, the winter blues is a type of depression that hits annually. In fact, it's the less-extreme version of Seasonal Affective Disorder—when feelings of sadness or depression come with the winter and leave when the seasons change.
Studies show that 10 million people experience SAD every year, while 25 million have the winter blues, says Indira Hogan, counselor at KU's Counseling and Psychological Services. Women ages 18 to 30 make up 60 to 90 percent of those afflicted with the disorder. And don't let the name fool you. Symptoms can show up as early as September and last until April, she says.
Besides depression, other symptoms of SAD include decreased amounts of energy, changes in

the sleep cycle, problems with concentration, memory and motivation, withdrawal from social situations, cravings for foods high in sugar and carbohydrates, an increase in anxiety and irritability, lack of interest in usual activities and difficulties in managing stress and daily routines. If these symptoms are repeated for at least two years in succession, chances are SAD is at work.
But what causes the winter blues? During the winter, shorter days mean less of a chance for the body to get sunlight. Natural light is linked to the body's

regulate hormone levels and increases levels of serotonin. "People feel like they can take on the world after working out," says Josh Magaha, a personal trainer at the Student Fitness Recreation Center. The Basehor senior says exercise results in feelings of increased energy—not decreased energy as most would assume.
production of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that is thought to relieve depression. Also, the longer nights encourage sleeping and the production of the sleep hormone melatonin. Higher levels of melatonin are linked to causes of depression.
To help alleviate symptoms of the winter blues, Hogan suggests setting a regular sleep schedule and making sure to fall asleep and wake up at the same time every day. Also, try to arrange your environment to let as much natural light in as possible. These steps will help regulate your levels of melatonin and serotonin. "The most important thing is sunlight, sunlight, sunlight," Hogan says. She also suggests being outdoors as much as possible.
If you know that you suffer from SAD, Hogan advises getting on an exercise routine before symptoms start to show themselves, as it will be harder to set a routine
It's also important to stay socially active and to educate those around you about the winter blues. This way your family and friends will be able to offer support when you need it, she says.
Exercise is another option because physical activity helps
later. And the routine doesn't have to be complex. Magaha, who is also the manager of the recreation center's cardiovascular resistance training program, often advises his clients to just go outside and do something such as walking, running, walking a pet or playing catch with friends.
And while these solutions will usually work for the winter blues or mild cases of SAD, more extreme cases may need other types of therapy. People who experience severe cases should seek professional help from a counselor, psychiatrist or social worker, Hogan says. Professionals are able to help discuss the issues and may also suggest other solutions such as light therapy. For example, SAD sufferers can sit in front of light boxes that simulate natural light, regulating their serotonin levels.
For most sufferers of the winter blues, making a few additions to their daily lives will help alleviate their symptoms. "Usually by implementing small changes, people can lead fulfilling lives for years," Hogan says.

wanted to experience something different.
Although a male strip show may seem slightly overwhelming at first, the end of the night is sure to see smiles on all your friends' faces (especially after a lap dance) Christine Davidson, Kansan sales executive and Overland Park senior, gathered up her group of friends to attend the Playgirl night at Coyote's. "I've never been to anything like that before. At first I was really shy. Later in the evening I was feeling more comfortable and the dancers pulled me up onstage and gave me a lap dance. It was like an inside joke the whole semester." Davidson says.
Nudity is not allowed onstage, all dancers must wear thongs when performing. And of course, you can sit in the back and still take in the action from a safe distance.
The strip show spectacular usually begins with a solo dancer dressed in costume, shakin' his stuff to some cheesy beats. The always-popular fireman or policeman stripper frequently appears at some point in the beginning. When the crowd becomes more comfortable the dancers come out in groups, some dressed as the Village People.
Throughout the night, girls can pay to sit onstage and receive their own special dances. McKee describes the experience as humorous, like something you might see on TV.
Lauren Foremsky, Topeka senior, thought the male strippers would perform more of a show. She was shocked to find out the night was more hands-on. "They came down off the stage to accept dollars. Sometimes the dancers would lift girls up and twirl them above their heads," she says.
your night out at a male strip club will be out of the ordinary but memorable. If you're up for a little camaraderie with the girls, why not try cheering for the Chippendale-like dancers as they perform their routine to the "Y.M.C.A."? One wild night out of your comfort zone might be just what you've been looking for.

Jessi: I suggest bringing your boyfriend to a family function and let him get to know your brother before you tell him. Once he figures out how awesome your family is, explain to him that your brother is gay, and that there is no need to feel uncomfortable in his presence. Crafty, eh?
My brother is gay and my boyfriend is homophobic. I'm nervous to tell my boyfriend, but I feel like I should. How would you bring it up?
Chris: Talk to your bro and see what he suggests. But I think Jessi's idea is money. Were your boyfriend to know your brother was gay prior to meeting him, he'd have a pre-determined opinion of him. It's much better for them to meet, hang out, and days or weeks later have the cat come out of the bag. But by "cat," I mean your brother and by "bag," I mean the closet.

Swingers CONTINUED FROM 1B
There is no such thing as a swing club permit. So clubs have to obtain an adult entertainment permit, which is very difficult to get in many counties. Even with these obstacles, commercial clubs are expanding anyway, according to NASCA International.

Swinging can be a way for a couple to explore and expand its sex life into edgier territory. "It's like mountain climbing in the Himalayas," says Joy Davidson, licensed sex therapist in Seattle and author of the new book, "Fearless Sex." "It's more about the adventure of it all than it is the sex."
Davidson has worked with a number of couples in open relationships. She says as long as both partners are sure about trying the lifestyle, swinging can be a wonderful thing for their relationship. The Bellarine survey agrees. It shows that more than 62 percent of swingers experienced positive changes in their relationships. Thirty-five percent said their happiness level in the relationship stayed the same and only 1.7 percent became less happy.
Only 1.7 percent? What about all of the jealousy that is sure to arise from swinging? Gloria Brame, a licensed sex therapist from Georgia says she has never seen swinging destroy a marriage. She says that most couples who jump into swinging are well-educated on the activity and have talked with each other about it.
Brame goes as far to say that swinging is a great way to avoid marriage-threatening problems. Couples who swing have very little to worry about infidelity because each partner can fulfill his or her sexual urges to have sex with other people while his or her partner is there. "The great thing is that

The swinging world may be the most misunderstood sexual lifestyle out there. Long gone are the days of key clubs and wife-swapping. Those practices are more deviant because they don't focus on the couple experiencing the sexuality together. Most people, according to Lazzeratta, still think there's a stigma out there that says swinging is a hardcore, purely sex-oriented practice," he says. "It's just not that way." Swinging can be a powerful experience for couples on an emotional and spiritual level, he says.
swingers never have to lie," Brame says.
Probably the biggest misconception about swinging is that the man in the relationship is the instigator, Davidson says. She says in her practice she has seen quite the opposite. Very often it is the woman who enjoys herself the most and wants to go back. They don't just come along for the ride. This usually isn't a problem for the men, who typically get more excited about swinging when they're aware of their female partner's excitement.
Davidson attributes these women's strong opinions of swinging to the feelings they experience when they are there. "The swing world is powered by women," she says. The environment at a swing function is very safe, which makes it conducive to the sexual empowerment of women who otherwise feel sexually inhibited. In most situations, it is the woman deciding what the couple will do while they are at the party. They decide with whom the couple will play and what they'll do. The environment offers a woman protection, support, empowerment and confidence. That translates to a more sexually open relationship with her partner.
Swinging can have its drawbacks for couples. Cyndi has seen more than her fair share of tough situations arise from unhealthy swinging. She says swinging is really only designed for people in healthy relationships based on good communication. She says that when couples swing, "good relationships become even more solid while bad relationships just blow up."
Sex therapists and marriage counselors agree the swinging lifestyle isn't one to be taken lightly. The emotional baggage accompanying swinging alone is enough reason for a couple to avoid it, says Elaine Phillips, licensed sexologist from Bloomington, Ill.
Phillips says there is danger surrounding the swinging lifestyle that can be clouded by the fantasy-like intrigue of sexual non-monogamy. "A couple can look at swinging and see nothing but fun, uninhibited sex," she says, "They don't really see all the consequences that come along with it."
Another issue, Phillips notes, is that too often one member of the relationship is much more interested in participating. Swinging is a lifestyle to be shared between both partners of a relationship. If one member is not totally committed to it, jealousy and pain will likely result.
Most sex therapists agree couples should never enter into swinging thinking it will cure the ills of its relationships. Swinging is not a therapeutic practice. "Couples should only start swinging if they know they can handle it," Phillips says.
Arranged CONTINUED FROM 1B
marriage is a possibility. But, she stresses that in no way are arranged marriages as forced upon women in the Arab-Islamic tradition, as many in the United States seem to think. Also, if she were to find someone on her own, it would be acceptable in her family, she says.
According to Quaddour, the father primarily handles the marriage process in the Arab-American culture. If a suitor is interested, he approaches her father and says something like, "I am interested in your daughter and would like to meet her."
In such a scenario, Quaddour's father would then get to know the guy through others who know him. If the suitor is someone Quaddour might be interested in, and meets his criteria, her father would then suggest she get to know him as well.
"It is important to know what influences a person's behavior, or how religious he is, and if his values and ideas are similar to mine and my family," Quaddour says. Parents taking the time to learn this information is why she says she thinks the Islamic divorce rate is lower than the American divorce rate.
Hamed Ghazali, Islamic scholar and principal of the Islamic School of
Greater Kansas City, agrees that the elimination process of potential candidates provides safety in a marriage and contributes to fewer divorces.
The misunderstanding of forced arranged marriages, Ghazali says, arises from misinterpreting Islamic beliefs. For instance, it is stated in Islamic scripture that a woman must have the consent of her parents before marrying. This can be misinterpreted as the parents having full authority over their daughter's marriage. He understands that requiring parents consent may sometimes lead to forced marriages, but states that such cases seldom occur and have little religious merit to back them.
Arranged marriages are also custom in the Indian culture. Seeing her grandparents still in love and witnessing her parents successful marriage, both in arranged marriages, Deepti Mathur, Topeka senior, prefers to have a traditional arranged marriage based on personal preference.
To her, arranged marriages are more realistic because people have a different mentality going into them. It isn't just about love; it also incorporates other aspects of a person's life.
Arranged marriages in the Indian culture work through family networking. Mathur's parents, as well as her relatives, will collectively look for someone who will match well with her personality. It brings unity among family members because everyone has a role in
Once her parents find someone they are interested in, the parents of both families arrange a time to meet. A person marries into a family, not just to the individual person, so it is important for the families to connect. If things go well, the parents introduce their children. After the guy and girl get to know each other, they tell their parents if they are interested in marrying each other or not.
the process, and each person is enthusiastic about making it work, she says.
Although no exact statistic for arranged marriages is available, The U.S. News and World report does state that approximately 95 percent of marriages in India are arranged, and divorce is seldom heard of.
Shaffie, Quaddour and Mathur acknowledge the negative connotation associated with arranged marriages in Western society. From a professional viewpoint as a psychiatrist, Shaffie thinks that lack of opportunities for people in the Western culture to experience or talk about arranged marriages causes preconceived notions that the process is forced. Americans hear about arranged marriages through the media, which pick dramatic stories to portray. Shaffie suggests that those in or accustomed to arranged marriages educate others on the matter because, after 27 years of being happily married, Shaffie says she has found no reason for regret.

Feeling a little down this winter? That's OK, everyone gets a little sad now and then. But if you feel depressed every time winter comes around you may have a problem. You may have the winter blues.
By Donovan Atkinson, Jayplay writer
If winter equals irritability or isolation, you may suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder
while the name doesn't sound all that serious, the winter blues is a type of depression that hits annually. In fact, it's the less-extreme version of Seasonal Affective Disorder—when feelings of sadness or depression come with the winter and leave when the seasons change.
Studies show that 10 million people experience SAD every year, while 25万 have the winter blues, says Indira Hogan, counselor at KU's Counseling and Psychological Services. Women ages 18 to 30 make up 60 to 90 percent of those afflicted with the disorder. And don't let the name fool you. Symptoms can show up as early as September and last until April, she says.
Besides depression, other symptoms of SAD include decreased amounts of energy, changes in
the sleep cycle, problems with concentration, memory and motivation, withdrawal from social situations, cravings for foods high in sugar and carbohydrates, an increase in anxiety and irritability, lack of interest in usual activities and difficulties in managing stress and daily routines. If these symptoms are repeated for at least two years in succession, chances are SAD is at work.

Davidson has worked with a number of couples in open relationships. She says as long as both partners are sure about trying the lifestyle, swinging can be a wonderful thing for their relationship. The Bellarmine survey agrees. It shows that more than 62 percent of swingers experienced positive changes in their relationships. Thirty-five percent said their happiness level in the relationship stayed the same and only 1.7 percent became less happy.
Only 1.7 percent? What about all of the jealousy that is sure to arise from swinging? Gloria Brame, a licensed sex therapist from Georgia says she has never seen swinging destroy a marriage. She says that most couples who jump into swinging are well-educated on the activity and have talked with each other about it.
Brame goes as far to say that swinging is a great way to avoid marriage-threatening problems. Couples who swing have very little to worry about infidelity because each partner can fulfill his or her sexual urges to have sex with other people while his or her partner is there. "The great thing is that
"I it's like mountain climbing in the Himalayas. It's more about the adventure of it all than it is the sex."

The swinging world may be the most misunderstood sexual lifestyle out there. Long gone are the days of key clubs and wife-swapping. Those practices are more deviant because they don't focus on the couple experiencing the sexuality together. Most people, according to Lazzeratta, still think there's a stigma out there that says swinging is a hardcore, purely sex-oriented practice," he says. "It's just not that way." Swinging can be a powerful experience for couples on an emotional and spiritual level, he says.
swingers never have to lie," Brame says.
Probably the biggest misconception about swinging is that the man in the relationship is the instigator, Davidson says. She says in her practice she has seen quite the opposite. Very often it is the woman who enjoys herself the most and wants to go back. They don't just come along for the ride. This usually isn't a problem for the men, who typically get more excited about swinging when they're aware of their female partner's excitement.
Davidson attributes these women's strong opinions of swinging to the feelings they experience when they are there. "The swing world is powered by women," she says. The environment at a swing function is very safe, which makes it conducive to the sexual empowerment of women who otherwise feel sexually inhibited. In most situations, it is the woman deciding what the couple will do while they are at the party. They decide with whom the couple will play and what they'll do. The environment offers a woman protection, support, empowerment and confidence. That translates to a more sexually open relationship with her partner.
Swinging can have its drawbacks for couples. Cyndi has seen more than her fair share of tough situations arise from unhealthy swinging. She says swinging is really only designed for people in healthy relationships based on good communication. She says that when couples swing, "good relationships become even more solid while bad relationships just blow up."
Phillips says there is danger surrounding the swinging lifestyle that can be clouded by the fantasy-like intrigue of sexual non-monogamy. "A couple can look at swinging and see nothing but fun, uninhibited sex," she says, "They don't really see all the consequences that come along with it."
Sex therapists and marriage counselors agree the swinging lifestyle isn't one to be taken lightly. The emotional baggage accompanying swinging alone is enough reason for a couple to avoid it, says Elaine Phillips, licensed sexologist from Bloomington, Ill.
Another issue, Phillips notes, is that too often one member of the relationship is much more interested in participating. Swinging is a lifestyle to be shared between both partners of a relationship. If one member is not totally committed to it, jealousy and pain will likely result.
Most sex therapists agree couples should never enter into swinging thinking it will cure the ills of its relationships. Swinging is not a therapeutic practice. "Couples should only start swinging if they know they can handle it," Phillips says.
Arranged CONTINUED FROM 1B
marriage is a possibility. But, she stresses that in no way are arranged marriages as forced upon women in the Arab-Islamic tradition, as many in the United States seem to think. Also, if she were to find someone on her own it would be acceptable in her family, she says.
According to Quaddour, the father primarily handles the marriage process in the Arab-American culture. If a suitor is interested, he approaches her father and says something like, "I am interested in your daughter and would like to meet her."
In such a scenario, Quaddour's father would then get to know the guy through others who know him. If the suitor is someone Quaddour might be interested in, and meets his criteria, her father would then suggest she get to know him as well.
"It is important to know what influences a person's behavior, or how religious he is, and if his values and ideas are similar to mine and my family's," Quaddour says. Parents taking the time to learn this information is why she says she thinks the Islamic divorce rate is lower than the American divorce rate.
Hamed Ghazali, Islamic scholar and principal of the Islamic School of
Greater Kansas City, agrees that the elimination process of potential candidates provides safety in a marriage and contributes to fewer divorces.
The misunderstanding of forced arranged marriages, Ghazali says, arises from misinterpreting Islamic beliefs. For instance, it is stated in Islamic scripture that a woman must have the consent of her parents before marrying. This can be misinterpreted as the parents having full authority over their daughter's marriage. He understands that requiring parents consent may sometimes lead to forced marriages, but states that such cases seldom occur and have little religious merit to back them.
Arranged marriages are also custom in the Indian culture. Seeing her grandparents still in love and witnessing her parents successful marriage, both in arranged marriages, Deepti Mathur, Topeka senior, prefers to have a traditional arranged marriage based on personal preference.
To her, arranged marriages are more realistic because people have a different mentality going into them. It isn't just about love; it also incorporates other aspects of a person's life.
Arranged marriages in the Indian culture work through family networking. Mathur's parents, as well as her relatives, will collectively look for someone who will match well with her personality. It brings unity among family members because everyone has a role in
the process, and each person is enthusiastic about making it work, she says.
Once her parents find someone they are interested in, the parents of both families arrange a time to meet. A person marries into a family, not just to the individual person, so it is important for the families to connect. If things go well, the parents introduce their children. After the guy and girl get to know each other, they tell their parents if they are interested in marrying each other or not.
Although no exact statistic for arranged marriages is available, The U.S. News and World report does state that approximately 95 percent of marriages in India are arranged, and divorce is seldom heard of.
Shaffie, Quaddour and Mathur acknowledge the negative connotation associated with arranged marriages in Western society. From a professional viewpoint as a psychiatrist, Shaffie thinks that lack of opportunities for people in the Western culture to experience or talk about arranged marriages causes preconceived notions that the process is forced. Americans hear about arranged marriages through the media, which pick dramatic stories to portray. Shaffie suggests that those in or accustomed to arranged marriages educate others on the matter because, after 27 years of being happily married, Shaffie says she has found no reason for regret.

Get your Kix Start the day off right and fuel up on breakfast
By Anja Winikka, Jayplay writer
When Rob Ralston, Olathe freshman, wakes up in the morning the first thing he does is grab something to eat. Be it a granola bar and a bottle of apple juice from his room or an entire plate of eggs, bacon and toast from Oliver dining hall, he's got to eat. "I'm just always hungry when I wake up," he explains. After his meal, Ralston's ready to start his day. For some students, it's just that easy. Their bodies tell them it's time to eat. But for others, breakfast seems like an insignificant time-waster. Lauren Jones, Wichita junior, says she's not a morning person. She gets up in the morning, goes to class and then eats lunch. "I really don't like breakfast food," she says.
Listen Up
Watkins dietitian Anne Chapman says students need breakfast because it helps to regulate their metabolism. "The body has been in a fasting state for a number of hours," she says. "Eating something soon after awakening sends the brain a message to speed up the body's organs." A study from the Loyola University in New Orleans

...head to Kansan.com. Jayplay writer Maha Masud teaches you how to make a quick noodle stir-fry using any standard package of Ramen noodles.
The best meals contain the most food groups, Chapman says. So don't just grab a donut at the gas station on your way to class. Think variety when deciding what to eat. Chapman suggests a piece of whole grain bread with a teaspoon of peanut butter, a glass of skim milk and a piece of fruit. It contains four of the five food groups, so it's well-balanced.
snows that students who eat breakfast in the morning have higher memory retention than those who do not.
The key is nutrition. Breakfast foods that are high in sugar are not healthy or helpful, Chapman explains. Fast-food breakfasts will leave you feeling sluggish with far more calories than you need to start the day. Breakfast cereals high in sugar will boost your blood sugar quickly so you feel temporarily energized, but soon after blood sugar levels plummet, leaving you feeling worn out and hungry again.
Think Balance
Feel Good
Missed your first alarm and worried about making it to class on time? There are some alternatives to skipping the morning meal. Chapman says to look for a granola bar that contains fiber and some protein (about 7 grams).
If you're not into granola bars, you could blend a smoothie. Throw together some yogurt, fresh or frozen fruit and fruit juice or milk in a food processor.
On the Run
You should make sure you give your body something to get it running. "Even a glass of milk is a better breakfast than no breakfast," Chapman says.
So make a point to get some food in your system before hiking up the Hill to class. Give your day a jump-start — pull a Rob Ralston and eat your breakfast.

NCAA sets new academic rules
By Ross Fitch
fritch@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR STAFF WRITER
Student-athletes now have a significant incentive to stay in the classroom: their teams will suffer if they don't progress toward a degree.
On Jan. 10, the NCAA Division I Board of Directors, led by University of Kansas chancellor Robert Hemenway, passed an academic reform policy requiring teams to maintain an Academic Progress Rate of 925, which is roughly equivalent to a projected 50 percent graduation rate. The scores will

be determined through a point system in which each team earns one point for eligibility and graduation of each player, and one point for player retention each term.
If teams fail to meet the new requirement, they will face penalties that restrict replacing
the scholarship of an academically inelegible athlete who leaves the school. The maximum penalty will be 10 percent of a team's financial aid limit.
meaning two scholarships each could be lost for men's and women's basketball, and nine for football. Penalties are at the discretion of the NCAA.
The penalties will not be imposed immediately. The NCAA will collect data from each school and issue preliminary reports to let teams know where they stand, said Paul Buskirk, Kansas associate athletics director for student support services. The actual penalties would start being applied incrementally next fall and into 2006.
According to 2003-2004 APR data, more than half of all schools have at least one team that would have been penalized if the policy was currently in effect.
Teams could also be banned from preseason tournaments and postseason games and playoffs. Problems that persist for four consecutive years could result in losing membership in NCAA's Division I.
The data show that about 30 percent of football, 25 percent of baseball and
20 percent of men's basketball teams would be affected.
"Now, not only do student-athletes have to remain eligible and proceed toward a degree, but their institutions and their teams will receive significant penalties if they do not maintain academic standards," Hemenway said.
"Life isn't only basketball," freshman basketball forward Alex Galindo said. "You never know what's going to happen."
"Whether you're an athlete or not, you're here to get an education," Matt Hoge, Olathe senior, said.
Genevieve Boyle, Salina sophomore, said student-athletes shouldn't get any special treatment.
Other students, such as student senators, are as busy as student-athletes

Former KU quarterback enters hotel business
BY ADAM LAND
aland@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFP WRITER
Carpeting that once covered the floor of the Eldridge Hotel is now gone. The checkered marble floor that gleamed decades ago is now covered in dust from construction. The hotel that stands at seventh and Massachusetts streets is a Lawrence landmark and was recently acquired by University of Kansas alumni.
Bobby Douglass, former KU quarterback who played most of his career with the Chicago Bears, and KU Alumni Mitch and Susan Chaney of Texas, along with local investors, paid $2.92 million at bankruptcy auction for the historic hotel. The Douglass-Chaney group plans on dropping $1.5 million in renovations.
Douglass attended the University from 1966 to 1968. He played quarterback and led the Jayhawks to the Orange Bowl in 1968. His name is featured on the north side of Memorial Stadium, which he said was a great honor.
Even though he lives in Chicago. Douglass said he kept coming back to Lawrence.
Renovating a local landmark
During one trip back to Lawrence, Douglass stayed at the Eldridge Hotel while visiting his daughter who attends the University. The hotel was a little run-down, but Douglass thought it had promise.

Accreditation to begin next week
Thorough evaluations to enable federal funding
BY DANI LITT
dlitt@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITE
Next week, the entire University of Kansas will undergo review for accreditation by the Higher Learning Commission, a branch of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.
"Accreditation is a review of how the University is doing according to its mission," said Barbara Romzek, chair of the steering committee and associate dean of social sciences.
"Without the accreditation, students would not be eligible for financial aid and faculty and staff are not eligible for federal research grants," she said. "As a result, there would be fewer students and fewer faculty."
Accreditation gives the University federal funding for loans and financial aid. Romzek said.
Each school also goes through individual accreditation that is not related to the University's accreditation, said Lynn Bretz, director of University Relations. The schools are accredited by their own national professional organizations.
Deborah Teeter, director of Institutional Research and Planning, said the University could be accredited for up to 10 years and has been accredited for the full 10 years she has been at the University.
The accreditation consists of a self-study, similar to a self-evaluation, done by the University and a site visit by a 12-member team of outside academics from major research universities in the Midwest.
The outside academics are trained,

Lawrence taking homeless services seriously
BY JASON SHAAD
jshaad@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Members of the Lawrence Task Force on Homeless Services have spent much of January mulling over recommendations from different community groups about how to improve homeless services, including mental health services and alcoholism programs.

The task force published a preliminary report last fall and has since met with groups that included homeless people, service providers and business owners, among others, to discuss its
Mayor Mike Rundle, director of the task force, said the draft report focused on creating a city-wide approach to gaps in homeless services, including a need for a better case management system. Case management involves working with homeless people to improve their living and employment situations.
"The thought is that if you're chronically homeless, you're sort of in a revolving door where you don't think you can get out." he said.

One gap the task force addressed was the availability of mental health services. Helen Hartnett, assistant professor of
A similar concern is how to help people suffering from alcoholism, said Rich Forney, Salvation Army administrator and task force member. Forney said that The Salvation Army, 946 New Hampshire St., had its own alcohol detoxification center, but that it had been used about eight times in the last two and a half years. He said there was a serious need for a farther-reaching program.

Other areas for improvement included emergency and shelter services, housing programs and job programs. Forney said
these services needed centralization.
In the report, business owners expressed a need to eliminate the perception that Lawrence is an "open city" that welcomes transients.
A report from Downtown Lawrence Inc. also suggested a centralized service located away from the downtown area in order to decrease loitering and panhandling.
Dawn Thompson, owner of Children's Orchard, 742 Massachusetts St., said panhandlers discouraged people from entering some stores, and ordinances needed to be established to prevent this.

The next meeting is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. in the City Commission Room at City Hall, 6 E. Sixth St. Members will discuss the process and will vote on recommendations. The task force will present its final report to the City Commission in late spring.
Feedback from various stakeholders is crucial to make the task force's final report a success. Hartnett said.

He made a few phone calls inquiring about the ownership and three months later was at the auction for the hotel with other investors he met. Douglass and the other investors with him eventually outbid a trio of local investors.
"I've come back four to five times a year," said Douglass. "I really love the University and the town. Lawrence was great to me when I was here."
David Longhurst, hotel interim manager, said the hotel, restaurant and bar would all be renovated. The renovations will not destroy the building's historic look, he said. Douglass said he enjoyed the history of the hotel and hoped to attract more customers.
The Eldridge tentatively plans to reopen in May 2005, Longhurst said, with the bar and restaurant opening at the same time.
The hotel's 48 suites will have new carpeting, beds and fully refurbished bathrooms. Longhurst said. The rates for the old rooms were $99 to $139. Douglass said although the new rates were not set, the rates would be comparable.
The hotel will renovate the Jayhawker bar into a bar and grille, expanding the seating from around 50 to 80.
The restaurant will not have more seating but the management will renovate the floor and furnishings while retaining the historic look of the establishment. Douglass said.
The menu also is not set, but Douglass and Longhurst said the items would accommodate a variety of tastes. The management plans for the new renovations and menu to bring in a diverse clientele.
"If someone wants a $25 steak they can get it," Douglass said. "If you want a hamburger, you can get it."
The restaurant plans to also host and offer a wide range of events, he said. The management wants to host KU athletics department fundraisers, charity events and other events needing a ballroom-type setting.

Insurgent campaign against Iraqi election intensifies
As part of an intensifying campaign of intimidation, an Al Qaeda affiliate led by Jordanian terror mastermind Abu Musab al-Zarqawi posted a videotape on the Internet showing the murder of a candidate from the party of interim Prime Minister Ayad Allawi.
BAGHDAD, Iraq — Insurgents stepped up attacks Thursday against polling centers across Iraq, killing at least a dozen people, including a U.S. Marine, in the rebel campaign to frighten Iraqis away from participating in this weekend's election.
The tape included a warning to Allawi personally: "You traitor, wait for the angel of death."
To protect voters on Sunday, hundreds of American soldiers began moving out of their garrison on the western edge of Baghdad to take up positions at smaller bases throughout the city to respond more quickly to any election day attacks.
Sunni Muslim insurgents have threatened to disrupt the balloting, when Iraqis choose a National
Assembly and governing councils. Voters in the Kurdish self-governing area of the north will select a new regional parliament.

Anniversary of Holocaust liberation remembered
BRZEZINKA, Poland --- Snowflakes swirled around the crematoriums and barbed wire of Auschwitz, and a shrill train whistle pierced the silence as frail survivors and humbled world leaders remembered the victims of the Holocaust on Thursday, the 60th
anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi death camp.
Candles flickered in the darkening winter gloom of the sprawling site, which Israeli President Moshe Katsav called "the capital of the kingdom of death."
During World War II, 1.5 million people — mostly Jews — were killed at the site. The haunting commemoration was held at the place where new arrivals stumbled out of cattle cars and were met by Nazi doctors who chose a few to be worked to death while the rest were sent immediately to gas chambers.

The Center for East Asian Studies will provide friendliness, entertainment and a crash course on how to make Chinese dumplings at the East Asian Lunar New Year party today.
The Lunar New Year is the biggest holiday of the year in Chinese culture, said Sheree Willis, director of the China Kansas Asia Scholars Program.
Anyone can attend the free gathering, which is scheduled from 2 to 4 p.m. today at the Ecumenical Christian
Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave. The party will feature live singers and food. Willis said that the dumplings, symbolizing wealth in Chinese culture, would be the main attraction.
"Everyone will be able to choose from vegetarian, meat and ground pork fillings for the dumplings." Willis said.
The East Asian Lunar New Year takes place on the American calendar on Feb. 9. The party will provide a preview of what is traditionally celebrated in China for 15 consecutive days. Willis said the party attracted 300 people last year and she expected more than 300

Jun Fu, accounting specialist for the Center for East Asian studies, said that another Chinese tradition involved asking the eldest member in the household for money in a red envelope.
New Year's food includes sticky rice cakes, melon seeds and long noodles.
This will be the first year that the party also honors the Korean New Year because Korea celebrates the Lunar New Year as well. Willis said. Students studying Korean at the University will sing songs and teach the audience how to say "Happy New Year" in Korean, she said.

"I'm looking forward to the party showing what the Chinese New Year is really like."Ruan said.
The color red is associated with good fortune in Chinese culture, and many individuals wear red for the New Year, Fu said. She said that money in red envelopes would be given away at the party as part of several door prizes.
Ruan said that she celebrated the New Year in China at a young age, and she remembered that students had two weeks off from school for the holiday. She also said that her family and friends often set off firecrackers, which were supposed to scare

University noted for enrollment Higher education magazine praises increased Hispanic numbers
BY ESTUANDO GARCIA
egarcia@kansan.com
KANSAN START WRITER
"Hispanic Outlook Magazine in Higher Education" named the University of Kansas in their "Publisher's Pick List," in December. The list recognizes schools that focus on recruiting and graduating Hispanic students.
Currently there are 844 Hispanic students at the University, which accounts for 3.1 percent of the student body. This is an increase from five years ago when 608 students were enrolled.
happy with the numbers.
Although Ann Brill, dean of journalism, said she was happy with the ranking, she was not
The magazine also ranked the School of Journalism 19th in their top 25 schools granting bachelor's degrees in journalism and mass communication. The magazine states the growing number of Hispanics in the field of journalism is the result of "explosive growth" in Spanish-language newspapers and broadcast stations.
"When you look at the data, I'm not impressed," she said. "When you look at that, I think we could do better — we should do better."
The school's minority enrollment was 10.9 percent in the fall of 2003, while minorities in the state of Kansas made up 13.9 percent of the population.
The University has expanded and developed new programs to increase minority enrollment at the University. Hawk Link, a program developed in 1998, was developed to primarily help students of color succeed at the University. The Multicultural Scholars program is another program that supports students financially with scholarships and scholastically with tutors and advisors.
"We are a competitive school, we aren't a regular university like any other. We have a great graduation and we have things to offer for any and all students," said Juan Izaguirre, assistant director of the office of multicultural affairs.
Road Show sent University faculty and staff from different departments to Wichita, Topeka and Kansas City, Kan., to convince under-represented students in Kansas to come to the University. Janice Davis, recruitment coordinator for the William Allen White School of Journalism, said it needed to focus on getting more potential students to attend the event.
This week, the Multicultural
Izaquirre said certain key issues, such as the cost of tuition and the University's location kept certain students from being interested.
"The first reason why they wouldn't choose KU is because of the price," said Izaguirre. "We like to break it down for students and see how much it will cost to go to school."
Students and parents can sit down with advisers and go through different financial options and contact departments in regards to scholarships and programs giving financial aid.
Salary release suit yields new open records provision
TOPEKA — The unsuccessful fight waged by the University of Kansas to keep secret its athletic director's pay package could earn the Jayhawks a new place in state law.
A so-called "Lew Perkins Provision," requiring the compensation of all public employees be made open to the public, was among a series of proposed changes to the Kansas Open Records Act outlined Thursday.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
- Edited by Lori Bettes
The package, presented by Attorney General Phill Kline, legislators and representatives of the Kansas Press Association and Kansas Association of Broadcasters, would attempt to reform the open records act by increasing public access to government activities at the state and local level, as well as organizations that receive public money.
Several media organizations, including the publisher of The Lawrence Journal-World and
Along with the Perkins provision, the changes would include a constitutional amendment requiring a two-thirds vote of the Legislature to create any new exemption to the open meetings law. That question would be put to voters in November 2006.
The Associated Press, won a lawsuit against the University requiring the school to disclose Perkins' compensation package.
Doug Anstaett, president of the press association, said the fight over access to the Perkins contract demonstrated the need for the constitutional amendment despite efforts over the past two decades by legislators to specify which records and meetings must be open.
"The press still encounters misapplication of the law and even hostility in isolated cases," Anstaett said.
California, Florida, Louisiana, Montana and New Hampshire have similar constitutional amendments that require a super-majority of legislators to make changes to open records
law. Kline said.
The package also includes creating an office public integrity in the attorney general's office charged with overseeing how open records complaints are disposed of by district attorneys. It would also clarify the procedures for filing a complaint with the attorney general's office.
Other changes would require private entities that receive more than 50 percent of their operating budgets from any combination of state, federal or local governments to be subject to the records act, and would redefine the "personal privacy" exemption to narrow its use. The new definition would clarify that an unwanted invasion of privacy would constitute "information that would be highly offensive to a reasonable person and not of legitimate concern to the public."
Sen. Tim Huelskamp (R-Fowler), chairman of the Senate Elections and Local Government Committee, said the proposals would give more power to citizens.

Marriage amendment denies social justice
The proposed state constitutional ban on same-sex marriage goes far beyond being unnecessary and inherently discriminatory.
It is an invasion of the separation of church and state and stands against the basic principles we as Americans value most: our life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
The proposed equality for all Kansans at stake.

The amendment reads as follows:
(a) The marriage contract is to be considered in law as a civil contract. Marriage shall be constituted by one man and one woman only. All
Legally discriminating against a group of people, whether it is

other marriages are declared to be contrary to the public policy of this state and are void.
(b) No relationship, other than a marriage, shall be recognized by the state as entitling the parties to the rights or incidents of marriage.
The proposed legal definition for a civil marriage expresses the biblical criteria of marriage as being solely between a man and a woman. It shows complete disregard for first amendment protection from the establishment of religion.
As expressed on glad.org, a Web site for a gay rights advocacy group, every religion has absolute autonomy in determining its requirements for marriage.
But the religious rite of marriage is a spiritual union and grants no legal protections and responsibilities.

Legally discriminating against a group of people, whether it is based on race, gender or sexual preference, sends a clear message of inferiority and limits personal freedom.
It's ironic that the Constitution that grants Americans their civil liberties is used as a means to take away legal rights from members of the gay community. Will same-sex marriage really erode the significance of traditional marriage?
This battle is only prevalent because some members of society, under the pretext of morality, do not approve of the homosexual lifestyle.
This is not about religious interpretations of the definition of marriage. It is not even an endorsement for homosexuality, which is not the current issue at stake.
It is about justice. On April 5, Kansans should cast their ballots in accordance with individual freedom and fairness for all.

Libraries dilute KU Info's purpose
COMMENTARY
If you have had a question, KU Info has had an answer only a phone call away for more than 30 years. An independent group of close-knit, highly-trained staffers have been available to KU students, alumni and anyone who could dial 864-3506.
COMMUNITY
But this venerable KU institution is being forced into regular library staff. Without its independence and own employees, the real KU Info no longer exists.
The KU Libraries have made major changes to KU Info in the last few months. If the University of Kansas does nothing to stop the changes taking place, KU Info's 55-year run will cease.
The libraries' integration of their resources have taken Susan Elkins' staff away. And now KU Info and library staff are becoming one entity.
JOHN JORDAN
jjordan@kansan.com
The changes were so drastic that Elkins, the program's director for 14 years, retired and 10 of her staffers quit.
Former employee Molly Tucker, Prairie Village junior, said the changes stripped away KU Info's ability to answer questions.
"I felt that the Library has a different vision of what information service is to be like, one that doesn't fit what I think," Elkins said. "I felt like my integrity was being compromised."
"They weren't respecting our tradition." Tucker said.
These changes directly affect the staff's ability to do its job. They respond well to a multitude of questions for two reasons. First, they're well prepared. They must pass a thorough hiring process and, once
Staff selection was critical, Elkins said. The application contains a larger quantity and variety of questions than you would find on a normal University application. Those questions revealed more about a person than normal qualifications. Elkins said.
After the application process, Elkins conducted interviews in groups. She said this allowed her to see the students interact with each other and work as a group
Next, students had one-on-one interviews. Elkins said she looked for warm, funny and engaging people.
"I could not be more proud of hard working, dedicated students," Elkins said.
Training was equally important.
New employees first took an hourlong tour of KU Info's walls, which are littered with sheets of information. The rookies then study the walls from four to six hours and did a scavenger hunt with a questionnaire to test their knowledge. These walls were the main source of quick information for KU
Info, but have since been taken down by the library administration.
After initial training, students would then work with a partner on the phones until they could go solo. Elkins said it took about two months for the workers to proficiently answer the phones.
The libraries' plans for KU Info don't match the quality and commitment put forth by Elkins. Bill Myers, director of library development, said KU Libraries were progressively integrating KU Info into information and information desks. He said the vision was to provide students access to information they needed to succeed academically at the University.
Myers said comprehensive training would include orientation in print and on-line resources, catalog and databases, computer and reference assistance and customer service principles.
This vision and training do not match the goals and work Elkins and her staff put in, and without that commitment, KU Info will lose its sense of community and hard work that has made it an exceptional and unique service to the student body for so long.
"I hope that whatever happens to KU Info, whoever is in charge will put the best interests of the students first," Elkins said. "And I know they will."
Looking at what's happening to KU Info, students' interests are not being put first. I only wish I had as much optimism about KU Info's future as Elkins does.

Ah, the decline of the National Basketball Association. Gone are the days of classy superstars like Michael Jordan and Larry Bird, only to be replaced by such reputable thugs, rape suspects and malcontents as Ron Artest, Kobe Bryant and Jermaine O'Neal. The NBA has sunk so low so fast the Titanic would be jealous.

But wait! The same guys who beat up fans and cheat on their wives with teenage hotel employees are out to do what they can to save the world. On Jan. 6 and 7, seven NBA players pledged to donate $1,000 for each point they scored to UNICEF for relief efforts in the wake of the Indian Ocean tsunami. Among those philanthropic souls: Kobe Bryant, Jermaine O' Neal, and the much-aligned former University of Michigan "bad boy," Jalen Rose.
In 2002, Rose was implicated in a scandal from his Wolverine years in which he was accused of accepting money from a booster. On Friday night, Rose not only shelled out a grand for each of the 21 points he scored against the Milwaukee Bucks, he decided to base his contribution on his career-high 44-point game performance and donate a whopping $44,000. Indirectly, one could suppose, we should thank the booster, Ed Martin, for his generous contribution to UNICEF and for making the world a better place by paying college students for doing nothing. Maybe someday, Martin probably thought, my illegal deeds will help the victimized and downtrodden. In light of his charitable acts, Martin should be let off the hook and awarded for such honorable intentions, with Rose right alongside him.
Why not Kobe and Jermaine too? So what if you cheated on your wife with an unstable teenager who claims you forced her to have sex with you? I'm sure that was the only time it happened and hey, the case was dismissed anyway. And Jermaine, thanks for stepping up to the plate and making some dunks for the less fortunate. That totally makes up for the dunking you did on that Detroit fan's head in November!
Now I don't want to downplay or desecrate the generosity of these players and the good their donations will ultimately do. Maybe the players are trying to atone
for their past transgressions. On the other hand, maybe this is all a marketing scheme dreamed up by super-agent Arn Tellem, whose SFX agency represents all seven of the ballers involved in the "Shoot-a-Thon" and who has announced that he will match the highest donation made by any of the players.
At this time of despair and tragedy in Southeast Asia, every dollar is helpful and if a few troubled athletes and an überich agent gain a few sympathy points in the process, then so be it. There is even the chance that the "Shoot-a-Thon," which ultimately raised $263,000 for the relief effort, will inspire some of the folks at home to spare some change from their own pockets. That is, if there is anyone out there who still pays attention to the NBA for any reason other than to witness barrical brawls and criminal trials.
So, are these scandalous stars heroes or something slightly less valorous? Should their good deeds wash away their mistakes? Are they changed men? Or maybe it is more pertinent to ask if anyone even cares. I applaud the players' generosity, but the "Shoot-a-Thon" was an obvious marketing ploy. Will the players be redeemed in the public eye? Only time and jersey sales will tell.

Gay couple files lawsuit to overturn marriage ban
SANTA ANA, Calif. — Calling gays "the most oppressed minority since slavery," an attorney for a gay couple urged a judge yesterday to overturn California and federal laws banning same-sex marriage.
The lawsuit is one of only a few challenges to gay marriage bans that are pending in federal court.
California recognizes only marriages between a man and a woman.
Christopher Hammer and Arthur Smelt applied for a marriage license from
Orange County last year and filed suit after they were turned down.
Lawyers for the county, state and federal governments and two private groups backing California's ban on gay marriage argued that the couple have failed to prove they have been victims of unconstitutional discrimination.
Same-sex couples can register in the statewide domestic partners registry and are protected against discrimination by legislation, said Christopher Krueger, a lawyer for the California attorney general's office.
The Associated Press
"This isn't slavery and segregation," Krueger said.
ACCREDITATION: Evaluators to meet with students, faculty

School of Medicine-Wichita. The committee has spent the last two years completing the self-study and writing the self-study report.
"Some universities create a separate office for accreditation," Romzek said. "We decided to do with existing staff on a more modest budget."
The report discussed significant changes at the University since 1994, the last time the University was accredited. It also responded to concerns stated by the 1994 consultant-evaluators and discussed the University based on the Higher Learning Commission's five criteria.
Romzek said some of the changes discussed in the report included the following: qualified admissions policy, increased retention and graduation rates, increased student initiatives, $455 million in building projects, tuition enhancement and new information systems such as Blackboard, the Kyou Portal, and online library systems.
Romzek said each consultant-evaluator received a package of about 11 pounds of information including the selfstudy report, the student handbook and various appendices to read before the site evaluation.
To prepare for the site visit, Teeter said the steering committee released the self-study reporter in December and has held briefings with staff and faculty to get them ready to discuss the report.
"There is no special sprucing up," Romzek said. "We are just doing what we would need to normally do."
The consultant-evaluators will visit the Lawrence campus, the Edwards campus and Med Center campus. The evaluators will be on the Lawrence campus from Jan. 30 to Feb. 2.
During the visit, evaluators will have scheduled meetings with various faculty, staff and students on campus to review the University.
"There are structured and unstructured times," Romzek said. "The evaluators have the license to stop and ask questions to anyone if they want to."

Police investigate package from BTKkiller
WICHITA — Investigators have tracked down a missing communication that may have come from the BTK serial killer, leading police to again appeal to the public for help in solving the case
Tuesday that led police to a suspicious package in a rural area northwest of Wichita. That postcard also inquired about an earlier undiscovered communication, which police said they found Wednesday night.
Wichita television station KAKE received a postcard
Police believe the package could be connected to BTK and have submitted its contents to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, police Lt. Ken Landwehr said yesterday. He
did not elaborate on its contents and refused to take questions from reporters.
BTK, which stands for "Bind, Torture, Kill," has been linked to eight unsolved killings from 1974 through 1986. He resur-faced in March with letters to media and police.
police wanted to talk to anyone who may have seen any suspicious activity in the area between Jan. 14 and 25.
The package referenced in the postcard, which the sender called communication number eight, was found on North Seneca Street. Landwehr said
KAKE aired footage of the package, a Post Toasties cereal box, weighted down with a brick, leaning against a traffic sign along a road. The letter T on the name Toasties was circled on the box, and the letter B written was written above it with the letter K below.

HEMENWAY'S CONTRIBUTION
Chancellor Hemenway described his term as "two busy years of putting in place an academic reform for the ongoing future." Here are the highlights of his tenure as chairman.
October 2002: A policy was adopted that required college freshmen to complete 24 hours of course work and have at least a 1.8 GPA. The policy also required the completion of 40,60 and 80 percent of requirements for degrees by the end of the second, third and fourth years.
February 2004: An NCAA Recruiting Task Force was formed in response to recruitment violations in the NCAA. Its mission was to review recruiting rules and recommend possible new standards.
April 2004: Board approved an incentives/disincentives
program that included scholarship penalties and the loss of eligibility for various postseason and preseason tournaments. It was similar to the policy approved by the Board Jan. 10,2005.

and they're still expected to attend every class, she said.
Kansas baseball coach Ritch Price wasn't worried about adhering to the change.
Galindo said he would even take a diploma over an NCAA championship. He also said he planned to fulfill a promise to his mother to graduate.
In his two years at the University, Price said all of his 13 seniors graduated.
For Price, academic success starts at recruitment.
"If you recruit kids who belong at the school academically, you're not going to have a problem," he said.
More current data was not available because it is being calculated by the NCAA, Buskirk
The most recent graduation rate data available to the public for KU student-athletes is based on the freshman class of 1997. Based on the data, the graduation rate for student-athletes on scholarships was 63 percent, compared to 58 percent for all students.
Marchiony credited good interaction between the student-athletes and the faculty.
said. The first figures will come back next month, he said.
"We have historically done a very good job with academics," said Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director of external affairs. "Never has that been the case more that it is right now."
Three teams achieved team record GPAs: men's track and field, 3.36; men's basketball, 2.88; and baseball, 2.83. The basketball and baseball teams each achieved higher GPAs than the University average for males, which was 2.81.
"This will be our way of knowing where we stand," he said. "This is the NCAA's wakeup call."
Statistics from the Fall 2004 semester show that KU student-athletes must be doing something right. They recorded their best academic performance for a fall semester — a 2.91 grade point average — in the athletics department's history. Their GPA was only slightly below the all-University average of 2.93.
THE 10 PERCENT CAP
Here is a breakdown of the maximum possible contemporaneous penalties that would be imposed by a 10 percent cap on a team's financial aid limit.

"Institutions which do the right thing, like Kansas, serve as a model for a healthy intercollegiate system," he said.

J. R. Giddens on his memories about Texas: "Oh, they are not good memories, man," the sophomore guard laughed.
The Jajhwaks suffered a pair of losses to the Longhorns last year during his freshman season—including an 82-67 loss in Austin, Kansas' largest loss ever against Texas, and a 64-60 defeat in the semifinal round of the Big 12 tournament.
Kansas coach Bill Self has had even less success against Texas. He is 0-4, but he swears it's not that bad.
"One was when I was coaching at Oral Roberts," Self said. "That doesn't count."
Tomorrow's game pitting the Jayhawks against the Longhorns will count, and it'll be played under a microscope. ESPN's College GameDay will be in the house, along with ESPN's morning show, Cold Pizza, as well as Dick Vitale. That means for the next couple of days people will be talking about the Jayhawks — lot.
"You get 10 hours of free exposure," Self said. "It is great exposure for the team and for Kansas."
Self said he was a little concerned about the effect this extra hype would have on the players, but he just might have the solution.
"Maybe we could fix it so they can't watch TV and just play Playstation all day." Self said.

Defense crucial to season rally Women look forward to tough match-up against Nebraska
BY PAUL BRAND
pbrand@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWRIETER
The Kansas women's basketball team has shaken its woes by producing two narrow conference victories, including the team's first Big 12 road victory.
Since adding wins to its tally, the Jayhawks are much more comfortable with the prospect of traveling to Nebraska on Saturday.
Second-half pushes during the Missouri and Colorado games placed the Jayhawks, 9-8 (2-4 Big 12), in the win column and should help revive the team's season.
"I think it's obviously good for us being able to win down the stretch," coach Bonnie Henrickson said.
In the 65-60 victory at Colorado, Kansas hit key shots late in the game both from the field and at the free-throw line.
Junior forward Crystal Kemp and junior guard Erica Hallman have carried a lot of the burden.
"A lot of burden rests on returning players late in the game," Henrickson said.
Late-game heroes and seasoned players are the indispensable elements to the team's comeback, Henrickson said.
Kemp, who posted a monstrous 15 rebounds and 15 points against Colorado, stepped outside and nailed two baseline jumpers late in the contest to land the victory. Hitting both free throws down the stretch, Kemp proved again that she could help carry Kansas in critical moments of the game.
On the perimeter, Hallman's shooting ability has convinced Henrickson that she can also perform in key situations.
"I feel confident that Erica will knock them down," Hendrickson said.
But, it is not only the upperclassmen who have come through for the Javhawks.
At Colorado, sophomore guard Sharita Smith posted what could be a breakout performance on both the
“

offensive and defensive ends.
Smith scored eight points off the bench, a tremendous improvement over her season average of 2.1. She made both of her three-point shots and gave the Jayhawks another outside threat.
"There were a couple of shots that she wasn't happy about," Henrickson said. "But her energy level on defense was great."
The Jayhawks have been consistent on defense throughout the first-half. However, offense troubles throughout the season have wasted some solid performances on the defensive end.
Such was not the case against the Buffaloes, but the Jayhawks will have their hands full against the Cornhuskers. 11-7 (3-3).
For the Huskers, sophomore Kiera Hardy will present the Jayhawks with a challenge on defense.
"She's a bit of a match-up issue," Henrickson said. "We can't shut her down, but we will try to slow her down."
The reeling Huskers, who have lost three straight, present another opportunity for the Jayhawks to steal another road victory.
The game against Nebraska tips off at 7 p.m.
Michaels update
Former volleyball player Ashley Michaels has been practicing on a regular basis with the team. However, she remains on a trial period. Henrickson said a decision concerning Michaels' future with the basketball program would be delivered soon.
"Ashley and I had a conversation," Henrickson said. "We both want the same things."

Waterski club rocks despite landlock
Most people probably don't think water skiing when they think Kansas.
Wheat fields and college hoops, yes. Horizons that seem to stretch into forever, yes. Big farms and small towns, yes. But water skiing, no.
There's no ocean in Kansas, and there aren't many impressive lakes. The biggest body of water the Sunflower State can claim is Milford Reservoir, northwest of Junction City — not a pond at 16,020 acres, but not exactly the aquatic sports capital of the Midwest, either.
And yet, at the University of Kansas, experts are in our midst. Not just experts, but champions, or near-champions, anyway. The Kansas water ski club team took second in its region in the fall and finished seventh in the country, including a second-place finish by the women. The team members beat out most of their fellow Midwestern states and put on a performance that rivaled those of waterproud universities in the East and West.
Eat that. coastal communities!
Amy Bing, Wichita junior and the club's president, couldn't count how many members the club had because new faces frequently show up at the private lake off K-10 where the group practices. Some, like Bing, are experts who've been skiing almost as long as they've been walking. Others have never put on a pair of skis and just want a taste of what it's like. She said there were about 15 students who regularly traveled and competed.
Those 15 are resting now — hibernating, if you will — until the cold Kansas winter gives way to spring and the ice melts off the lakes for good. But they're already thinking about next season and fundraising to ensure there will be a next season for many years to come. They always have water skiing on the brain. It's their drug of choice, their friendly addiction, and if not for the hypothermic cold, they'd be out here now in wet suits and goggles getting their fix.
Club member Brian Gibson started water skiing when he was a little kid, first being tugged around in the family pool by his dad, then doing it for real in the very un-pool-like confines of Missouri's Table Rock Lake.
Gibson, Springfield, Mo., senior, competes now in jump, slalom and trick all three of the categories of water ski competition.
"The biggest adrenaline rush is jumping," Gibson said. "Once you hit, most people are instantly addicted."

Conference, is looking to return to the same level that won it conference championships in 1997 and 1998.
The team has changed since then
but second-year coach Amy Hall-Holt said she was excited about this year's team.
Hall-Holt served as an assistant with the team before picking up the coaching iob.
"Even though we are a young team, I see a lot of potential in them to help us win a lot of matches and become a great team." Hall-Holt said.
Arguably the top player entering this season for Kansas, Skoda is an experienced player who is coming off a disappointing fall season.
"She knows she has a hard role to play of playing in the top position." Hall-Holt said. "She knows she needs to step up and lead this team."
Skoda will be looked upon to embrace the leadership role in 2005.

Junior Luiza Louireiro has vastly improved her level of fitness from a season ago. Hall-Holt said. The native of Brasilia, Brazil, who is one of only two juniors on the young roster, will have to contribute in both the singles and doubles.
Sophomores Brittany Brown and Ashley Filberth possess the understanding of what it takes to compete in a demanding conference such as the Big 12.
Four freshmen — Anna Jackson, Stephanie Smith, Lauren Hommell and Elizaveta Avdeeva — make up the bulk of the lineup. Lauren Hommell endured
It will be important for the Jayhawks to stay consistent this season.
"She is going to help us in a big way," the coach said.
a competitive fall season, earning victories in her first three singles matches. Smith is a tough competitor who is consistently working her way up the lineup, Hall-Holt said. Jackson was limited because of an injury much of the fall season.
The new name to watch is Elizaveta Avdeeva, Hall-Holt said the Russian prospect was a very talented player.
"Our goal for this season is to be more competitive in the Big 12," Hall-Holt said. "We have tried to express to the players how important it is to compete for every point and give 110 percent in practice and match play."
One name to keep in mind will be assistant coach Frank Polito. Hired as an assistant to Hall-Holt's staff last July, Polito provides valuable experience as a coach. His expertise added to Hall-Holt's, may be the catalyst to the ongoing development of one of the youngest squad's in the Big 12.

The Kansas State Wildcats want to use this season to improve last year's disappointing 11thplace finish.

Softballteamtofacestrong opposition in South division
The University of Kansas softball team is projected to finish eighth in the Big 12 Conference this year, according to a poll of conference coaches released this week.
The South division appears to be stronger than the
BIG 12 CONFERENCE
North this season, with Texas as the favorite to win, followed by Oklahoma. Texas A&M and Baylor.
The 2005 season looks promising, however, as the Jayhawks have 10 returning letter winners — including seven starters — along with four newcomers. The team has been practicing for the past week and a half, preparing for its season-opening tournament, the Arizona Pepsi Classic, Feb. 4 through 6 in Tuscon, Ariz.
Kansas will play Oklahoma State and Arizona to open the 2005 season.

Texas to play without two 'best' players
BY KELLI ROBINETT
krobinet@kansan.com
KANSAAN STAFF WRITER
The No. 16 Texas Longhorns will not be at full strength when they take the court against the No. 6 Kansas Jayhawks on Saturday.
During the course of the past few weeks Texas has lost standout freshman forward LaMarcus Aldridge to injury, and leading scorer sophomore guard P.J. Tucker was ruled academically ineligible for the remainder of the season.
Still, Kansas coach Bill Self, who is winless in four games against Texas, knows the Longhorns pose a threat to the Jayhawks with or without two of their best players.
"One thing that Texas has is bodies," he said. "Is it a loss for them? Absolutely. But that's why you want to have jobs like Kansas and Texas. You can recruit, and when bad things happen you have guys ready to step in, and they certainly have guys to step in."
Self said he didn't think there was much of a drop-off from Aldridge to his replacement, Brad Buckman, because he was a McDonald's All-American coming out of high school.
"The difference is that they are not going to have as many big guys as they have in the past," he said. "But they are still good."
The Kansas front court will have a difficult time overcoming the physical inside play that Texas brings to the table. The Longhorns gang of big men bang with opponents on the inside and contest every rebound.
Things got so heated down low when Texas played Memphis that senior center Jason Klotz punched a Tiger forward in the stomach after the two fought for position.
Junior forward Christian Moody knows this all too well, and is preparing for nothing less than a free-for-all in the paint.
"It will definitely be a battle," he said. "They've got a lot of great big guys that like to be aggressive, and we've got to match that intensity inside."
The Longhorns also have a full cast of capable guards to replace Tucker, who is no longer playing because he failed to pass the NCAA minimum of six passed credit hours last semester.
Since adjusting to regularly playing without Tucker and Aldridge, the Longhorns have not taken much of a step back. In their first game without their two stars they gave the Oklahoma Sooners all they could handle in Norman, Okla., and defeated the Texas Tech Red Raiders by seven at home in their last game.
One of the main reasons their play has not dropped off is freshman guard Daniel Gibson. The Houston native who nearly committed to Kansas has made a strong case for not only Big 12 freshman of the year, but the national award as well.
"He's very competitive," Texas coach Rick Barnes said. "He wants to take the big shot and thinks every shot is going to go in. He're really learning how to run a basketball team."
Gibson, who recently won Big 12 rookie of the week honors, averages 13.6 points per game and has been clutch for the Longhorns so far. He has turned in key performances, such as scoring 27 points and pulling down 10 rebounds in a win against Oklahoma State.
"He has really stepped his game up in the absence of Tucker," Self said. "He has the chance to be mentioned in the same breath as T.J. Ford. He is having as good of a freshman year as anyone in America."
Gibson hasn't been alone in the relief effort. Baylor transfer and senior guard Kenny Taylor has proved to be a solid addition to the Longhorn lineup, and junior guard Kenton Paulino has also given Texas a lift.

After joining the baseball staff two years ago, Abney said he looked forward to putting his own recruits into the rotation this season. He said the guys they recruited now were more suited to throw in the Big 12's high-pressure games.
"We finally have three dominant starters that can win us three games on the weekends, no matter who we face," junior left-fielder Matt Batt vallied.
Not only are the newly recruited pitchers stronger and have slightly more endurance, they are also finally starting to close the gap between the pitching speeds of Kansas and of those in the rest of the conference.
He also noted that even guys not in the starting rotation would be ready as well.
"You have to have a plan from August all the way through to the end of the season." Abney said.
But starting this February, a stronger, better-equipped staff is taking over the mound.
After last season's performance in the Big 12, Kansas pitching may seem less than credible.
Kansas pitching coach Steve Abney said he knew the importance of being prepared for Big 12 opponents. He said he realized the difficulty involved in getting anything by power-hitting teams like Texas and Nebraska.
"As a whole, the staff is a lot better this year," senior catcher Sean Richardson said.
Abney may not have his rotation fully developed at this point, but he does have expectations and predictions for the upcoming season.
"I think the balance between Land, Zagurski. Quick, Schambach and Czyz is really good," Abney said. "Zagurski needs to lead, Czyz will lead by example as will Schambach."
With the season starting in less than a week, decisions about who will throw and what each player's role will be must be made.
The team's preseason trip to Hawaii, which will begin Feb. 4, will provide some insight into the players' improvements and in how they throw in pressure situations.
"I think the best thing I can do is make myself available to the younger guys," Zagurski said of his leadership role. "As a pitcher the best thing you can do is keep your team in the game."
Mike Zagurski, senior LHP, had a 4.81 ERA in 19 appearances. He has a 4-4 record from last season but has added pitches for 2005.
Don Czyz, junior RHP, posted the best ERA in 2004 with a 3.77 in 33 appearances. By the end of last season, Abney said he saw Czyz's potential as a tough closer and planned to use him in the final innings this year, too.
5. 26 ERA in 25 appearances last spring and will most likely start this season.
But sophomore Sean Land is predicted to be the most intimidating piece of the rotation.
Clint Schambach, senior RHP, had a
"Sean Land has made vast improvements from last season. He's been our most consistent guy," said Zagurski.
At the moment, Land leads the pitching staff in raw speed. His fastball tops out at more than 90 mph.
Ryan Knippschild carried a heavy load last year, in terms of innings pitched but his graduation forces more of the load to be carried by transfers and freshmen.
Freshmen LHPs Logan Murphy and Kyle Klem are shaping up to be good foundations for the future of Kansas baseball. Abney said.
Red Lyon Tavern

Plus, "Murphy's got a big presence."
Senior RHP Mike Fitch transferred from Southeast Missouri State with a 5-5 record and a 6.33 ERA in 2004. Junior LHP Travis Goset came in from Palomar College with a 3.98 ERA in 2004. Kodiak Quick, junior RHP, spent his last two seasons at Stanford before transferring to Kansas this fall.
"This group has been the most rewarding," Abney said of the teams he has coached.
Together, the players will form a revamped pitching line up designed to face the most formidable Big 12 opponents.

New coach sets to whip lagging Nuggets into shape
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — George Karl had been involved with basketball since the seventh grade, so not having it in his life for nearly two years left him feeling empty.
Now that he's headed back to the NBA, Karl has a greater appreciation for what the game has meant to him.
Out of the NBA since the Bucks fired him in 2003, Karl headed back to Milwaukee yesterday to take over as coach of the underachieving Denver Nuggets. He's expected to be on the bench tonight, making his debut with the Nuggets against his former team.
One of the favorites in the Western Conference at the start of the season, Denver hasn't lived up to the expectations that came with adding All-Star power forward Kenyon Martin to a team that had reached the playoffs for the first time in nine years.
Plagued by injuries and inconsistencies, the Nuggets got off to a horrible start and haven't really recovered. Coach Jeff Bzdelik lost his job Dec. 28, and Denver has been only marginally better under interim coach Michael Cooper, entering tonight's game
17-25 and 12 1/2 games out of first place in the Northwest Division.
Karl brings plenty of credibility, ranking 13th all-time with 708 victories and leading his teams to five division titles and 13 playoff appearances in 16 seasons. He has also had experience turning around underachieving teams.
Karl helped Seattle reach the playoffs in 1991-92 and led the Sonics to three 60-victory seasons in five years, including a trip to the 1996 NBA Finals.
"He's clearly one of the best coaches in the NBA, has always been so and his record exhibits that," Nuggets GM Kiki Vandwehe said.
Karl can be feisty and confrontational, but it might be just what the Nuggets need.
With a lineup that includes Martin, Carmelo Anthony, Andre Miller and Marcus Camby, Denver certainly doesn't lack talent. What the Nuggets seem to need is motivation.
Things got better under Cooper, who will stay on as an assistant, but Denver still only won four of 14 games and had trouble closing out the close ones. Injuries have taken a toll,
but there were too many times when players stood around on defense or failed to run hard on the break.
Karl isn't likely to stand for lackadaisical effort. He's had clashes with players at just about every stop in his coaching career, but always seems to get the best out of them. Besides, the time off has allowed him to take a book at his approach to coaching.
"I feel pretty confident that I'm going to be better because of what happened in Milwaukee," said Karl.
Given that, Karl already has set his sights on getting Anthony to shape up.
A star as a rookie last season, Anthony has had some growing pains this year. He had a difficult summer that included a clash with coach Larry Brown at the Olympics, a fight at a New York nightclub, then was caught with marijuana in his backpack during the preseason. The charge was dropped after a friend said the pot was his.
Anthony has had plenty of troubles on the court as well, struggling with shooting woes and ankle injuries. If the Nuggets are going to have success, Karl knows it will start with Anthony.

Intramural basketball in high demand
By Michael Phillips
mphillips@kansan.com
KANAN SPORTWRITER
Intramural basketball registrations closed early on Wednesday, which resulted in a waiting list for some teams.
Organizers placed 65 teams on the waiting list, including 45 mens teams, 17 corec teams, and three womens teams.
on the list if they receive a spot.
Organizers will contact teams
Registered teams that failed to attend the managers meeting last night will lose their spots to teams on the wait list.
The program already increased the number of available slots this season because the pre-holiday tournament had above-capacity registration.
Kitley Jewell. Lawrence freshman, was on a team that was cut from that tournament.
He made sure his team registered early this time around. It signed up on Tuesday morning and received a slot.
This year marks the first time that a waiting list has been implemented for intramural basketball, said Kurt Schooley.
assistant director of sports programs.
Jewell said he would not be opposed to lengthening the season to accommodate more teams.
The season has expanded once already this year. Sunday play begins earlier in the afternoon this year to avoid taking up all available courts at any given time.
The shortage of spots will not affect the Rock Chalk Classic basketball tournament, which will be held on campus from March 18 to 20.
Teams will pay a $250 registration fee for the tournament. The winning team will receive free entry into the National Intramural Basketball Championships in Atlanta.
This is the first time the University of Kansas has hosted the tournament, which will attract top intramural teams from across the Midwest.
That tournament will be "soft-capped" at 36 entries, meaning it can expand if there is high demand, Schooloy said.

BASKETBALL: Good start key

He was serious.
Giddens said that shouldn't be a problem. He said the team understands the importance of this game.
After giving a 20-point whooping to Baylor, Self said he thought his team was refocused. The last thing he wants is for the players to get distracted by all of the hoopla surrounding the game.
Right now, it does seem like the beginning of the season within the Jayhawks' program because Self is unsure of his rotation on Saturday. The starting lineup will remain the same, but because of the elevated play of junior guard Jeff Hawkins and a recent injury to freshman forward C.J. Giles, there has been some shuffling further down the depth chart.
"We need to win this game to win the Big 12," he said. "The Big 12 is like a second season, you got to start over."
Right now there are 11 players who could see minutes in Saturday's game.
"We need to get it down to nine." Self said. "It's hard to play 11 guys. We would be better off playing with nine."
Self said he preferred playing nine players, because with the quality of his starting lineup, it's difficult to distribute the remaining minutes among four players instead of six. A smaller lineup, Self said, means players will practice harder to earn more minutes.
Having 11 men on the lineup means that one of the perimeter bench players—freshman guard Russell Robinson, Hawkins or senior Mike Lee—will probably not play. The same goes for freshman forwards Alex Galindo and Darnell Jackson in the post. Self said freshman forward Sasha Kaun would play for sure.
"We are not set on who is going to play every game," Self said. "Game situations and practice situations will determine that."
Yesterday was Kansas' first practice since its game against Baylor, leaving significant time for minutes to be earned or lost.
However, before practice, Robinson, said he didn't expect to play in Saturday's game.
"This is a big game," Robinson said. "I really don't expect to be playing, but if my name is called, I have to be ready."
Robinson's name was called on Tuesday against Baylor, but he chose not to go into the game, which raised a few eyebrows.
Self said it was no big deal, but does think that Robinson is disappointed with his lack of minutes.
"He's probably a bit frustrated, not belligerently frustrated, but frustrated," Self said. "I can see where he is coming from. I don't necessarily agree with it, but I can see it."
Robinson averaged almost 17 minutes per game in the Jayhawks' first 10 contests of the season, but in the last six games, his minutes have fallen to just 6 minutes per game.
One of the reasons for the decrease is because of the inspired play of Hawkins, who has moved up past Robinson in the pecking order. But Robinson also has an ugly 19-27 assist-to-turnover ratio, causing Self to hesitate before inserting the freshman into critical game situations.
"You always hear about the freshman wall," Robinson said. "You never think that it will happen to you, but it happened to me. I just have to revert back to the things that got me off to a good start."
Getting off to a good start will be the key for the Jayhawks tomorrow. With the exception of Tuesday's victory, Kansas hasn't come out with first-half energy since its Jan. 9 game against Kentucky.
In their 20-point rout of Baylor, Kansas showed energy for 40 minutes.
Junior forward Christian Moody said the Jawhaws need to do the same thing tomorrow in order to compete with Texas.
"They're going to want to come here and win," Moody said. "We are going to have to be intense and focused for the whole game."

Fans pack Fieldhouse to camp for Mizzou
MONDAY, JANUARY 31, 2005

mLENNING SENIOR SPORTSWITER
For a Sunday morning, Allen Fieldhouse sure was packed yesterday. About 1,250 students crawled out of bed to sign their groups up for the student camping lottery for tonight's basketball game against the Missouri Tigers.
The drawing is usually done with poker chips, but because of the large turnout, students thought it would be smarter to draw numbers out of a bucket, said Adam Lohoefener, who has been heading the lottery for three years.
The way the lottery is designed, students can form groups of between five and 30 people. Every fifth person in the group gets to draw for their team.
But this year, Lohoefener, Oberlin senior, was afraid there weren't enough chips to accommodate the number of people who wanted to get into the lottery.
"We only have 500 poker chips, and that would mean that there could be only a maximum of 1,500 people here," Lohoefener said. "And I am not sure there isn't more."
It turns out that they would have been fine using the chips, but Llohoefener said this was the most people he had ever seen come out for the lottery — even for a Missouri game. That's mainly because there was only one day of camping before the game, so students didn't have many opportunities to add their names to the list later in the week.
Eighty-one groups entered the lottery yesterday morning. Lohoefener said 65 groups entered for the Missouri game last year, and about 70 entered in 2003.
"More people always get involved for Missouri." Lohoefener said, "but this is definitely one of the larger groups."
So, out of all of those people, who has the best seats tomorrow night?
Jim Erickson, Overland Park freshman, pulled the number one out of the bucket. He was literally shaking with excitement as his group, 'Jen Field,' huddled around him, congratulating him for earning them first pick of seats.

The Missouri men's basketball team's visit to Allen Fieldhouse may do more than bring up old rivalries.
The 6 p.m. tip-off is expected to increase traffic and safety issues. Faculty and University of Kansas employees received an e-mail from the KU parking department urging those with flexible schedules to leave before 5 p.m.

Hultine said that red and blue parking lots, not yellow lots, often cause the most difficulties. Parking employees will announce the restriction at the Student Recreation Fitness Center

'GameDay' comes to the Phog
ESPN live telecast brings screaming fans with posters to the Fieldhouse Saturday morning

KANSAN SPORTSWRITER
Hundreds of dedicated campers showed up, bright and early, at Allen Fieldhouse Saturday morning for their opportunity to be a part of ESPN's "College GameDay."
Some fans showed up with painted faces, others held homemade signs in the air, while others simply screamed at the top of their lungs, giving the east lobby of Allen Fieldhouse a rock concert atmosphere.
"This was definitely worth camping out for," Brad Gillette, Chicago junior, said. "The show was great. To have 'GameDav' here is just unbelievable."
ROCK CHALK
Gillette stood near the back of the crowd, flashing a sign that of an upside down Longhorn crying. He was positioned in prime view of the television cameras, directly behind ESPN analysts Rece Davis, Digger Phelps and Jay Bilas. His sign, along with several others, could be seen throughout the broadcast.
Not every fan was lucky enough to be in the general viewing area. The Kansas trophy case blocked people to the left and right of the set. That didn't seem to matter to the faithful KU fans, though.
"We didn't come to get on TV. We're here for the atmosphere," said Brad Jurgensmeier, Marion, Ill., freshman, who was standing to the far left of the television set behind the trophy case. "This is just awesome."

This is Santacruz's first year working as a deskie in Elsworth and he plans to keep working there in the future. Santacruz said he knows most of the residents by face if not by name. "I get to see 500 kids a day," Santacruz said. "I get to meet a lot of people and it's a lot of fun."

'Deskies' offer friendly face
About 200 students applied to be a deskie last year in residence halls
BY ERIC SORRENTINO

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The student struggled as he tried to drag the keg of beer into the building. Luis Santacruz, Asuncion, Paraguay, sophomore, could not believe what he was seeing while he was working on a Saturday night. Santacruz does not work at a Lawrence bar; he works at Ellsworth Hall.
Santaezruz said that he immediately took the keg outside the building and called for security backup. This is just one of the many jobs of a desk assistant, security monitor, or "deskie" as
referred to by residence hall students. However, the job requires more social-oriented skills because the situations are not often as extreme as the one Santacruz dealt with.
"We just wrote up a report for that instance because that was the only time anything like that had ever happened," Santacruz said.
The desk assistant position has been a desired position for students in the last year. Carlos Martinez, San Juan, Puerto Rico, freshman and Ellsworth deskie, said that when he applied for the last summer, he was one of approximately 200 applicants. Being recommended by two residence assistants from the Freshman Summer Institute program enhanced his chances, he said.
Desk assistants start at $6 an hour.
Patrick Quinn, desk manager in
Ellsworth Hall, makes the final decisions on the staff members.
"We give priority to sophomores and people who live in the halls," Quinn said. "Another big aspect is interviewing and recommendations from RA's and staff."
Deskies issue out disciplinary measures in respect to security but they also serve as a friendly face for residence hall students. Martinez said that he tries to make residents feel at home when he works behind the desk.
"Half the people I know at Ellsworth I met specifically through the front desk." Martinez said.
Santacruz said that he became interested in the desk assistant position by playing board games, watching DVDs and talking with other deskies.

Free election breaks 'barrier of fear'
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAGHDAD, Iraq — Iraqis embraced democracy in large numbers yesterday, standing in long lines to vote in defiance of mortar attacks, suicide bombers and boycott calls. The elderly, the young and women in veils cast ballots in Iraq's first free election in a half-century.

"We are Arabs, we are not scared and we are not cowards," Hekeib said.
With helicopters flying low and gunfire close by, at least 200 voters stood calmly in line at midday outside one polling station in the heart of Baghdad.
Inside, the tight security included at least four body searches, and a ban on lighters, cell phone batteries, cigarette packs and even pens.
One election volunteer escorted a blind man back to his home after he cast his vote. A woman too frail to walk by herself arrived on a cart pushed by a young relative. Entire families showed up in their finest clothes.

Jackson denounces media; leaks 'disgusting and false'
SANTA MARIA, Calif. — The child molestation case against Michael Jackson is finally ready for a trial that promises to be like no other.
Jury selection begins Monday, with Jackson expected to appear, in a case that has become a symbol of the American obsession with celebrity.
Early Saturday, Jackson issued a court-approved video statement on his Web site, calling recent media leaks in the case "disgusting and false" and predicting he would be acquitted.
"Please keep an open mind and let me have my day in court," Jackson said, looking directly into the camera. "I deserve a fair trial like every other American citizen. I will be acquitted and vindicated when the truth is told."

Holding up a birthday cake and two bouquets of flowers, Siri Ingvarsson and Gunhild Gaellstedt seemed bewildered by the media attention and the photographers huddled around them in the living room of Gaellstedt's apartment.

Patrons brave weather
Flurries drift to town, enthusiasts drift to art venues

Samantha Miller, Emporia State junior, looks at the photography section of the art display Friday evening at the Lawrence Arts Center. Miller traveled in the snowy weather along with other students and local residents to see her professor's, and other artists', work.
While snow flurried onto the streets of downtown Lawrence Friday evening, people drifted from venue to venue for the Downtown Gallery Walk.
Eleven venues scattered on Massachusetts and New Hampshire streets hosted the art show.
Sheila Wilkins, coordinator for the event, said she was worried that the weather would keep people away.
The theme, "The Human Form," came from a scheduling coincidence with Robert Brawley's show opening at the Lawrence Art Center, said Rick Mitchell, director of the center.
Brawley, professor of art, displayed "Nude Study #25," conte on paper and "Billie," graphite on paper.
"Quite frankly, it's beautiful outside." Wake Mitchell, Baldwin City freshman, said. "It's just a little slick."
David Titterington, Prairie Village senior, said he enjoyed seeing all of his painting professors in one room discussing art
Friday marked the first time the Gallery Walk had a theme since its inception in the late 1990s. Wilkins said.
Mitchell was one of the hundrds of people who braved the weather for art.
at the art center.
"Whenever I see art I am always surprised," Titterington said, "It's magical. Art is language — language of the right brain."
While Wilkins said there was a good turnout for the Gallery Walk, Mitchell said there was a lack of students at the event.
"I am definitely not as well informed about art events," Mitchell said. "But I think a lot of people think 'Well I don't know much about this and I'm afraid I'm going to look dumb if I like this painting."
Jill Kleinhans, owner of the Olive Gallery & Art Supply, 15 E. Eight St., said the Gallery Walk catered more toward
Lawrence residents than students, but it did offer a wide variety of art to experience for everyone.
The Gallery Walk gave art patrons the opportunity to meet the artists whose work was shown.
"It's an institutional way to get people to look at art," Diane Hornberg, owner of Diane's Artisan Gallery. 801 Massachusetts St., said, "And it's fun. It's a party."
The next Gallery Walk is scheduled for April 22. Lawrence hosts four walks yearly.

Students rally for gay marriage
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — Holding signs and chanting, "Straight, gay, it's all OK," more than 100 students rallied yesterday near the Statehouse against a proposed state ban on same-sex marriage and civil unions for gay couples
Only traditionally married couples would be entitled to benefits associated with marriage under a proposed amendment to the Kauai Constitution. The House expects to vote on it Wednesday, and supporters hope the measure will go on the ballot April 5.
Most participants were college and high school students, many from the Kansas City metropolitan area.

They stood on opposite sides of the street between the Statehouse and the Kansas Judicial Center, urging motorists to honk in support and cheering loudly when drivers did. They also chanted, "This is what democracy looks like."
Aishlinn O'Connor, a 15-year old high school sophomore from Prairie Village, said she organized the rally because she believes the amendment goes against an American tradition of expanding civil rights.

Censorship bill indication of deteriorating civil rights
www.kansan.com
Now that the door has opened to banning gay marriage in this country, how far will society go?
If Gerald Allen has his way, much further than simple marriage bans.
Allen is a representative in the Alabama congress. Last December, he pre-filed a piece of legislation for consideration in Alabama's legislature. Basically, the bill states that any piece of writing — be it novel, textbook, play, or otherwise — containing references to homosexuality would be banned from the state.
The next session of the Alabama legislature starts tomorrow, and Allen's will be one of the first bills discussed.
This bill means banning textbooks in college sexuality classrooms. This means banning novels with gay
characters. This means plays such as "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof". This means much of the writing of Shakespeare.
This bill means banning textbooks in college sexuality classrooms. This means banning novels with gay characters. This means much of the writing of Shakespeare.
According to Allen himself, all of the aforementioned writings should be disregarded permanently. "I guess we dig a big hole and dump them in and bury them," he said when questioned about his bill's intentions.
It is noteworthy to mention that in the past few months President Bush has met with Allen five times to discuss this bill.
same position in Kansas as Allen does in Alabama.
While we do not know the content of their discussions, this is a very high frequency of meetings between the president and a mere state representative.
This is an open-and-shut case of censorship, plain and simple. Allen disagrees with the content of these writings, and wants to ban them. More specifically, he wants to remove them from library shelves and have them destroyed, as he has repeatedly stated.
The rest of us can stand up for our rights by making our disapproval known and by opposing such future
Even disregarding Bush's possible support of this issue, its presence in Alabama requires our attention. First and foremost, students from Alabama must stand up against this open and blatant censorship.
When was the last time Bush met with Barbara Ballard? She serves the

legislation in our own states.
Allen justified his position by stating that he was only trying to protect Alabamians. He has repeatedly expressed fears that librarians and teachers will alter "society's fabric in the minds of our children."
These fears are unfounded, and this action is uncalled for. Then again, perhaps we should be protecting the children of the country from the blasphemous writings of Shakespeare. Let's add Mark Twain, Tennessee Williams and Oscar Wilde to that list.
While we are at it, let's keep everyone from reading the First Amendment to our Constitution, which expressly forbids such censorship.
Allen defends his bill by claiming that it isn't censorship. "For instance," he states, "there's a reason we have stop lights." As Gary Taylor of London's Guardian states, who can argue with something as logical as a stop light? That is. of course, unless the stop light never turns green.
Thanks to Allen, his bill, and this kind of thinking, Americans — gay and straight — might be sitting at this intersection for a long time.

STDs everywhere, use a condom
THE NOT HAVING SEX COLUMN
Condoms have been a popular news topic lately.
As you may have read in a recent University Daily Kansan editorial, a priest and spokesman for the Catholic Spanish Bishops Conference appeared to condone the use of condoms. His statement created some commotion. I imagine men and women running out of their office buildings, taking up an excited cheer as they pour into the streets.
P.
"Quick!" they say. "Let's do it before they change their minds!"
The spokesman, however, only narrowly acknowledged the role of the condom in AIDS prevention.
He did not refer to the condom as a means of artificial contraception, a practice the Roman Catholic Church rigorously opposes. Following the priest's remark, the church in Spain emphasized this opposition in an online statement.
WHEATON ELKINS
welkins@kansan.com
The topic of prophylactic use is an important one for college students, many of whom use the opportunity of a higher education to have sex.
According to Sandra Hadl, a nurse at Watkins Memorial Health Center, studies indicate that eighty percent of college students engage in sexual activities.
But beware. There are many sexually transmitted diseases.
"The two most common we see are chlamydia and HPV, which causes genital warts," said Hadl. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious
Diseases states that the "surest way to avoid transmission of" STDs is abstinence.
But consistent and correct use of latex condoms can reduce the chances of infection in those who are sexually active.
To find out how many University of Kansas students use condoms, I conducted a scientific poll. I questioned extensively a randomly picked male subject. The results of the survey are listed below:
Me: Do you wear condoms?
Him. Yes.
Me: During sex?
Him: Uh. Yeah.
The conclusion was of the one-man survey I conducted, one hundred percent use protection.
Unfortunately, females fared worse. Of the several women I surveyed, none said they wear condoms. This indicates to me that men are much more responsible, much more responsive to the need for safe sex.
Note: There are *r*male condoms, which the World Health Organization says are stronger than latex. I'm just not certain that they're "worn."
Know that, when it comes to prophylactics, not all are equal.
Reuters reported in early January that the Consumers Union, a nonprofit organization that publishes the magazine Consumer Reports, had tested the strength of several brands of condom by filling them with air.
Reuters quotes a description of the inflated condoms by Consumer Reports senior editor Nancv Metcalf.
"You end up with a balloon 3 feet tall and a foot wide. They can really stretch an amazing amount," she said. Men sometimes make similar claims, often with dubious results.
According to the report, an Extra Sensitive Lubricated Latex condom made by Durex performed best. Other prophylactics by Durex, Lifestyles and Thevfit also performed well.
Ironically, a "melon-colored" condom dispensed by Planned Parenthood was the worst, popping during the test.
Now, personally, I don't use condoms. Then again, I've never even kissed a girl. But don't be like me. Always wear a condom. Especially during sex.
Elkins is a St. Joseph, Mo., senior in English.
Democrats could be in worse shape
A resounding Republican victory last November left Democrats a minority in the legislature and on the outside looking into the White House.
But since the election, the media has focused its attention on the downfall of the Democratic Party as we know it. With a three percent margin of victory, the media said that Bush's re-election helped land the crippling blow leaving Democrats in shambles to helplessly wither away. A Nov. 14, 2004 column in the Washington Post referred to Democrats as now "a largely irrelevant voice whistling in an unfamiliar wind."
This partisan scrutiny is an exaggeration at best. If 75,000 vote in Ohio had gone for Kerry instead of Bush, we might now be talking the same way about republicans.
COMMENTARY
ROBERT BROCK
rbrock@kansan.com
It is a discernible fact that the democrats face major internal problems. The party failed in 2004 to send one clear message to its constituents while republicans effectively accomplished this feat. The party must immediately determine its base and its image. In this respect, it is evident that the republicans are ahead of the democrats at this point, but democrats are not in as much trouble as it seems.
Prepare to hear this same slanted mockery, though, until the Democrats claim a victory somewhere, anywhere. The media exaggerates the strengths and weaknesses of either party when they are un or down.
A.
The media treated President Clinton's victories in 1992 and 1996 in similar
When Bush claimed victory about two months ago, did the media suddenly forget the unique stature of this particular election and the events that made it impossible for Kerry to ever gain any ground? Social issues were an element of Bush's re-election, but Sept. 11 and the risk of terrorism, and Bush's wartime incumbency versus Kerry's weaknesses — "flip flopper" — were incessantly downplayed in the election's aftermath when it should have been most evident. Terrorism was the key issue and Bush's firm stance resonated more than Kerry's indecisiveness. Domestic issues, Kerry's strong suit, were thus neglected and overshadowed by terrorism. That is the story of Bush's
"landslide" victory. Bush held the upper hand from day one and squandered any chance Kerry ever had of winning. He never looked back — he never had to.
Now its always the moral values, the energized religious right, the growing Hispanic vote veering conservative that seem to haunt the defunct democrats every waking hour, making them run for the hills. While these elements played in the democrats' defeat, they overshadowed the number of first-time voters and young voters that went decisively democrat in 2004 — constituent that may play greater roles in future elections. Nor do you hear about a Republican Party that suffers from an internal struggle itself. Its own party members are divided over issues such as Iraq and social security.
Democrats should worry about their party in the short-term, but it shouldn't dunk its head under water yet. The party does need to stand back and analyze the dilemmas that surfaced with Kerry's defeat. It needs to take stronger stances on issues. It needs to be specific about what it will do different than republicans. How will it fight the war on terror? How will it apportion taxes? How will it balance the budget? This must start with the election of a savvy DNC Chairman in February. With Bush in his last term, the 2008 election is wide open. That gives democrats a visible time frame to refine their message and connect to Americans.

PARKING: Staff faces lot issues
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
before ticketing. Hultine said the parking department hadn't towed a vehicle because of the restriction. Parking isn't the only problem. Ashley Denneler, Colby senior, walks to her evening theater and film class. She said that she uses more caution on game nights.
"People are usually willing to stop, but sometimes they're incompetent." Denneler said.
Not everyone has difficulties. Laura Johnson, an administrative assistant with the School of Business, said she doesn't have problems parking in lot 54 by Murphy Hall. She doesn't leave until after 5 p.m. most days, and expects to have problems only if
she needs to return.
The staff at Watkins Health Center learned to work around basketball games. Myra Strother, chief of staff, said problems with the parking department aren't as common as they were in the past. Students who need care will be able to find parking. Staff can encounter problems if they are called in late or need to attend meetings off campus.
"We had one staff member who had to park four blocks away just to come to work." Strother said.
In case of an anticipated celebration on campus, staff will arrive early or make other arrangements.

CAMP: Tigers 'just suck'
guy told me I had drawn number
pole. I couldn't believe it."
Erickson said 'Jen Field,' a group of 25 from Naismith Hall, would sit in the front row of the student section behind the basket closest to the Kansas bench
"This is the biggest game of the year," Erickson said. "It is a huge rivalry, and it is an awesome game, even though they suck this year."
This was Erickson's first time at the lottery, but he said he came especially for the Missouri game.
That was the general consensus around Allen Fieldhouse yesterday morning. Students forgot that it was 8 a.m. and that they had been out late celebrating the Jayhawks' big victory against the Texas Longhorns the night before.
Missouri is coming to town.
"I don't know how to describe it. They just suck," January Bailey, Wichita senior, said of the Tigers.
Kansas fans want to prove that they are the best in America, and they want to do it against border rival Missouri.
"Could the guy who wore the Tiger suit last year please wear that again?" said Brett Mathews, Shawnee sophomore, referring to a student at last year's Missouri game. "He needs to bring the sign, 'I eat poop,' with him, too."
GAMEDAY: Crowd impresses
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
The show featured interviews with Bill Self and Danny Manning and a profile of junior forward Christian Moody that Self said was one of the best pieces he'd ever seen. But the main focus was the mass of Kansas fans.
Before the 10 a.m. show began, Phelips addressed the audience and told them that for the next hour the show was theirs. He said this was their chance to show America why Kansas has the best fans in the country.
The already raucous crowd reached new heights at that point, and began the rock chalk chant minutes into the show. It got so loud at one point that the noise registered a decibel reading of 117, six decibels higher than last week's taping at Connecticut.
Bilas, who played basketball at Duke, said he nearly committed to Kansas when former coach Ted Owens recruited him. Though he is a former Blue Devil, he said he could not choose Cameron Indoor Arena over Allen Fieldhouse. He said the Phog was to college basketball what St. Andrews was to golf.
"It's too close to call," he said "it's like the difference between Yankee Stadium and Wrigley Field. I mean what's better? You get a special feeling when you go into each one of them that's unparalleled."
"I love it here," Bilas said. "This is one of the great venues in all of sports. To be able to be here all day and show people what it's like, all around the country, it's an honor for us."
One of the reasons that the ESPN crew loved it so much was because they were treated like A-
Even Phelps, who received boos from a number of students because he picked Villanova to defeat Kansas last week, appealed to the crowd. He said the small doses of heckling didn't bother him, and he continually waved to the crowd to rile it up and gave the "horns down" sign during a commercial break.
list celebrities all day.
"Fans are entitled to their opinion. I don't think there's anything wrong with that," Phelps, a former Notre Dame coach, said. "You've got to just tell what you feel is out there. Last week I felt Villanova beating Kansas and went with it. I smelled Curtis Sumpter to have a break out game, and he had 25. That's what they pay me to do."
"That's why I knocked off seven number one teams while I was at Notre Dame, because I have a feel for the game and coached the game. Coming from where I was in the past I am able to take that over and give it to
the fans that want to watch me on TV."
Davis was the most popular anchor, though. After Phelps and Bilas chose Oklahoma State as the most dangerous team in the NCAA, Davis looked at the crowd and said, "Well, I like Kansas."
"Was I thinking about shameless pandering to the crowd before hand?" he said with a chuckle. "I was just trying to have a little fun with the crowd. I do like Kansas, though."
He also said that the basketball version of "College GameDay" was going to be a success because of the spectacular fans he had seen so far.
"We're going to let this show grow and develop its own personality and have its own interaction with the fans," Davis said. "Largely because of the two student bodies we've seen so far, the show is off to a great start."

DESKIES: Serve as security
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
"The main thing that drew me to becoming a deskie was the fact that I was going to meet a lot of people," Santacruz said.
said the deskies took away any natural uneasiness he had.
At night deskies serve as the primary security guards for the residence halls. Santacruz said that the University could have chosen private security but he thought students felt comfortable with the deskies' handling common problems at night.
Guernsey said that the deskie staff was polite in asking him to see what was inside the cooler. All the deskie found was Mug root beer inside.
Stephen Guernsey, Olathe
freshman and McCollum resident, said that he brought a cooler into his residence hall after 1 p.m., which is when students are required to swipe their KUID cards to get in the residence halls.
Working at the front desk gives deskies the ability to deal with repeated problems with their residence halls. Kathy Zolla, Denver senior, said that the Jayhawker Towers have had a problem with lockouts, particularly students keeping loaned keys after they've been locked out.
Zolla said that the towers changed the lock on every door and each student had to retain a new key with their KUID.
trying to sneak alcohol into the residence halls was the most common problem that he dealt with. He said that Ellsworth has a three-strike policy when it comes to suspicion of alcohol and serious noise complaints.
Santacruz said that students
Zolla said that she enjoyed working as a deskie so much that she is now one of the longest tenured towers deskies at two-and-a-half years.
"I even met my boyfriend from being a deskie at the towers." Zolla said.

Today's Birthday (01-31-05)
You may have to let go of something you've been holding onto.
It's nice, but it's not as good as what you'll get after you advance.
Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is an 8.
Today is an 8.
Don't be disrespectful, even if all your friends agree. And don't pile onto a person who's weak. That's beneath your dignity.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) Today is a 5.
Postpone an outing until the job is finished. Then use it to celebrate. Grant yourself a reward that means something special to you.
Today is a 10.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
Everything seems to be going your way, but try not to be impatient. There's one thing you won't be able to get yet, but you don't have to give up on it. Persevere.
Today is a 5.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
You do need to take someone else's wishes into consideration, but once that's done, a lovely compromise can be arranged. There's plenty for all.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
is important to show you're dependable now. Others, some of them very highly influential, want to lean on you. Stand firm, and the synergy works.
Today is an 8.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Today is a 5.
Accept an opportunity to make some extra cash, but not if it's going to wreck domestic plans already made. Better call and see if it's OK for you to work overtime.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Today is an 8.
As you explore possibilities and imagine consequences, you'll discover which paths you want to take and which ones to avoid. This is good. Don't hurry.

subtle opulence and technical sophistication can be achieved.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today is a 5.
Don't be ashamed or frustrated if you're feeling less confident than you'd like. This could actually work in your favor. Let others help you for a change.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Today is a 9.
As you roll along with the flow, pay attention to where you're going. You can steer around the barriers that pop up quite easily, if you're watching.
Today is a 5.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Today in a F
You don't have to tell how much you have. In fact, you probably shouldn't. It's not disrespectful at all to keep your finances private. So, do it.

Nightclub offers new amenities
Chris Miller/KANSAN
Former Flanigans reopens with new management
Stephanie Achten, Topeka resident, and Stephanie Dobler, Topeka junior, dance the night away Saturday at the newly remodeled Liquid Dance Club, 804 W. 24th St. The club, which used to be Jack Flanigans Bar and Grill, held its grand opening Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, and had a line with a two-hour wait.

aland@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Lines surrounded Liquid Night Club Thursday night in the building that once housed lack Flanigans Bar & Grill.
The new nightclub, located at 804 W. 24th St., opened Thursday. The club offers a night-club scene that is usually found on the east and west coasts, Steve Lisman, co-owner, said. The owners of Liquid have renovated the entire bar, giving small amenities to the customers.
"We had about 600 to 700 people in and out of the bar on Thursday night alone," said coowner Danni Thompson. "We had to turn away 300 people."
The owners of Liquid renovated the 9,000-square-foot bar and the 1,500-square-foot patio during the past year. A private contractor did much of the renovations. The owners did some of the labor and provided the capital.
"We wanted to give the public something they could not find around here," Thompson said.
The nightclub will still cater to patrons between 18 and 20, as well as people of legal drinking age. The bar is split into two sections. The 18-and-older section has a dance floor, two bars and a smoking area. The 21- and-older section has a bar,
dance floor and pool table.
The club's owners also added a VIP section to the 18-and-older area where customers of legal drinking age may purchase top-shelf bottles of liquor for $100 apiece. The patrons will receive a chilled bottle, strainer, mixers and shot glasses for their purchase.
The owners placed monitors in the bathroom that show the dance floor, Thompson said.
"I thought Flanigans did decently well before," said Jeremy Parr, Topeka senior. "This place is a lot nicer and cleaner than Flanigans."
The bar requires a cover Thursday through Saturday. The cost is $5 without a KUID and $2 with it. With the expanded bar, Lisman said the owners had to hire more staff. Flanigans had about 20 people on staff. Liquid has 38 people on staff and the owners expect to have about 60 employees before the hiring process finishes.
The nightclub also offers private parties and catering options. Pricing varies for parties and catering but the bar does have an on-site chef. Thompson said the bar could accommodate a party from four to 500 people.
The new nightclub still offers secondary services Flanigans provided. A party bus can be rented for $60 an hour and the bus is set for interior renovation in the coming months, Lisman said.
The kitchen, which Flanigans used, may be reopened in the future, Thompson said. The owners plan to have a pizza window and an outdoor grill.
"We have really tried to give our customers all the little things," Lisman said.

Sundance Film Festival.
Sundance Festival presents awards
PARK CITY, Utah — The family drama "Forty Shades of Blue," centering on a modern Oedipal triangle involving a music producer, a Russian wife half his age and his son, won top dramatic honors at the
"Why We Fight," examining the chronically militant stance of the United States during the last half century, took Sundance's grand jury prize for documentaries.
Awards were presented Saturday, with top winners screening one last time yesterday as the
11-day independent-film showcase ended in Park City, Utah.
The audience award for dramatic films, chosen in voting by Sundance film-goers, went to "Hustle & Flow," the tale of a two-bit pimp and drug-dealer (Terrence Howard) who enlists an odd assortment of allies in a bid to break into the hip-hop music scene.
Directed and co-written by Ira Sachs, "Forty Shades of Blue" stars Rip Torn as the aging husband, Dina Korzun as his Russian bride and Darren Burrows as the estranged son whose visit hurls their lives into turmoil.
Multiple fire trucks no cause for alarm
BY JOSHUA BICKEL
jbickel@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Students may have noticed more than a few fire trucks on campus last week after an unexpected number of fire alarms were reported.
Six fire alarms were reported in Kansas University-owned buildings between Monday, Jan. 24 and last Friday, according to Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical reports.
"It's not normal to have that many in a week," said Leslie Rollins, physical plant senior supervisor.
There was an electrical fire in Fraser Hall on Tuesday and one at the KU Small Business Development Center, 734 Vermont St., on Thursday. The other four were either accidental activations or alarm system malfunctions.
Two of the alarms were the results of actual fires.
Capt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office said despite these malfunctions, all the fire alarms on campus were working properly.
"They're doing what they're supposed to do," Bailey said. "But sometimes there are malfunctions."
Chief Mark Bradford, Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical spokesman, said this many fire alarms wasn't a big deal.
"Sometimes we, as humans, are stupid and set off the alarm by accident," Bradford said.
He also added that it's common for maintenance work in a building to trigger a fire alarm accidentally.
Last Tuesday, for example, a fire alarm in the Kansas Union was triggered after dust from maintenance work set off a smoke detector and then the fire alarm.
Alarms cannot distinguish between dust and smoke, Bradford said.

false, the fire department will usually still investigate the scene and the alarm will continue to sound until the the Office or Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical gives the all clear. Rollins said.
Rollins doesn't see a growing trend in the number of fire alarms on campus.
"It goes in spurts," he said. "Sometimes we go a week or two with none and sometimes we have as many as last week."

Jayhawks confident ready for border rivalry with Tigers
BY MIRANDA LENNING
mlenning@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR SPORTWRITER
The Jayhawks put a Texas-sized whooping on the Longhorns Saturday night, and they did it in style.
In front of a national television audience, with "College GameDay" and Dick Vitale in the house, the Jayhawks put on a display of monster dunks, acrobatic shots and long-range three-pointers.
RELATED NEWS
See the story about basketball seniors on page 7B.
But Kansas players won't have much time to bask in the glory of this victory. Only one day separates Saturday's victory from tonight's match-up against Kansas' border rival, the Missouri Tigers.
Kansas coach Bill Self said his team's 90-65 victory against the No.13 Longhorns was its most complete game of the season.
"We can get all happy over this, but we are only halfway done," Self said. "Our guys, hopefully they won't celebrate very much because we know that we have Mizzou coming."
They do have reason to be happy though. Saturday's victory improved Kansas to 6-0 and isolated them in first place in the Big 12 Conference. Oklahoma was also undefeated going into Saturday, but Oklahoma lost on the road against Iowa State, putting the Sooners one game behind the Jayhawks at 5-1.
Missouri is 10-10 overall and ranked ninth in the conference.

'Hawks to face erratic Tigers
Rival team struggling this season
BY KELLI ROBINET
krobinet@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWITTER
Kansas and Missouri are teams heading in opposite directions.
Missouri has also suffered defeats in five of its last six games and limps into tonight's match up with a 2-5 Big 12 Conference record.
The Jayhawks are coming off one of their best games of the season, an 85-60 victory against Texas, while the Tigers are reeling after losing to Kansas State, at home, for the first time in 20 years
34
Comference record.
Things are so low in Columbia, Mo.,
that Missouri coach Quin Snyder may well be out of a job at the end of the season.
Still, after hearing about Missouri's most recent loss, the Jayhawk players said they expected to see an inspired Tiger squad in Lawrence tonight.
"Strugglng or not, it doesn't really matter in a game of this magnitude," senior forward Wayne Simien said. "We know they're going to come in and give us their best shot, and we're going to be ready for that."
The preverbal "best shot" that Missouri gives Kansas every year in Allen Fieldhouse could be more intense than ever, because if the Tigers can find a way to win, it could turn the team's season around, senior guard Mike Lee said.
"But I don't ever want to lose to Missouri," he said. "You play to win every game, and we're going to approach it like any other game."
One of the few bright spots on the Tigers team so far has been the play of sophomore forward Linas Kleiza. He averages 16 points a game and has five double-doubles this year. Shutting down Kleiza and the rest of the Missouri front line will be a main priority for Kansas.
Despite being swept by Kansas State and losing to the likes of Davidson, Missouri can play with anyone in the country for a single game. Missouri owns impressive victories against Gonzaga and Indiana. It also played tough against Oklahoma State and Illinois, but lost close games in the closing minutes.
Courtney Kuhlen/KANSAN
Junior forward Christian Moody goes up for a shot during the first half of the game against Texas.
But I don't ever want to lose to Missouri. You
play to win every game, and we're going to approach it like any other game."
Bill Self
Kansas basketball coach
Senior guard Jason Conley leads the way for the Tigers from the perimeter, as he is averaging 10.1 points and 5.5 rebounds a game. Sophomore guard Thomas Gardner leads the team in three-point shooting and averages nine points a game.
"Missouri has guys like Kleiza that can go for 25 a night." Self said. "We've got to stop them from the start."
Much like with the Texas game, contesting outside shots will be a key factor. The Tigers like to shoot from the perimeter and are a difficult team to defeat when they are making shots.

Mangino improves football recruiting
On Wednesday, the Kansas football team will receive commitments from more than 20 high school and junior college players to play for the lavhawks next season.
The commitments show that coach Mark Mangino and his staff are closing the gap with their Big 12 Conference rivals in recruiting.
A teacher at my high school, who was a manager for the Oklahoma football team during her time at that university, had nothing but good things to say about Mangino when he took over the job at Kansas, but Oklahoma fans may start to worry if Mangino continues to improve his recruiting classes.
- Mangino was one of the country's best recruiters when he was the offensive coordinator for Bob Stoops at Oklahoma.

LINCOLN, Neb. — A Jayhawk team that rode a two-game winning streak into Nebraska came out firing again from long range, but the Cornhuskers proved to be an elusive target for the Jayhawks' third consecutive Big 12 Conference victory.
Kansas, 9-9 (2-5 Big 12), hung with Nebraska for the first 20 minutes of play, but Jayhawk miscues and shoots lappes brought another conference defeat, 59-48.
While the Kansas offense managed the ball
RELATED NEWS
well in the first half, 15 second-half turnovers provided instant offense and enough ammunition for the Cornhuskers to pull away. Nebraska, 12-7 (4-3), scored 20 points off turnovers.
See story about Kaylee Brown on page 8B.
Inside scoring keyed the regular offensive sets for Nebraska, which scored 32 points in the paint. Cornhusker freshman forward Danielle Page came off the bench for 12 points and grabbed 11 rebounds.
"Their pressure was good," Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "Our offense became their offense."
The usual offensive leader for Nebraska, Kiera Hardy, was held down by Kansas in the first half with two points, but closed out with 17.
"I thought we did a good job on Hardy for the first 30 minutes," Henrickson said.
Despite the shutdown of Hardy, the sophomore guard woke up following halftime.
"She's a streaky person," junior forward Crystal Kemp said of Hardy. "Once the mental part comes, the physical comes, too."
As Hardy found her stroke and the Kansas offense slowed because of execution problems, Nebraska expanded its advantage and took over the game. For the first 20 minutes, the game appeared to be heading for another close finish as

Junior guard Kaylee Brown led the way for the Jayhawks in the first half with 11 points, making all four of her shots from the floor, including three attempts from behind the three-point line. Brown's long range shots provided eight point in less than a minute to spark the early offense.
"Kaylee Brown hit some tough shots and hit some shots on busted plays," Henrickson said.
Defensive focus on Crystal Kemp and on-ball screens opened up the floor for Brown to shoot from outside. Brown scored only four after the break to close with 15.
"When we have Crystal Kemp down low and they're pinching her, things open up." Brown said.
With Brown's perimeter scoring gone, the Jayhawk offense shifted to Kemp. Kemp's scoring was limited to eight points because of Nebraska's tall starting lineup that features three players over six feet tall.
Following the quick start from the floor in the first 10 minutes. Brown sat out the rest of the half with foul trouble.
The Cornhusker front line dominated the scoring and accounted for 20 of the 28 first half points. Kemp scored 10 points and was held to six rebounds. Hardy looked to open up her offense in the second half with a three-pointer on Nebraska's opening possession and a quick score on the next Cornhusker trip down the floor.
The early strikes for Hardy, a Kansas City, Mo., native, woke up the Big 12's second leading scorer as she finished with 15 second half points.

Track and field wins 14 first places
Tiffany Cherry and Brooklyn Hann have five first place finishes for the women's team
By Patrick SHEHAN

KANSAN SPORTSWATER
The Kansas Track and Field team put on a show Friday at the Jayhawk Invitational in the Anschutz Sports Pavilion, earning 14 first-place finishes. In front of fans and families alike, the Jayhawks competed against 35 teams, including Big 12 foe Oklahoma State and regional schools Emporia State, Pittsburg State and Wichita State.
Kansas teammates Tiffany Cherry and Brooklyn Hann led the women's side with five first-place finishes.
Cherry, junior sprinter, placed first in the women's 60-meter dash with a time of 7.56 seconds. Hann, senior sprinter, electrified the home crowd
when she finished the 60-meter hurdles with a time of 8.52 seconds, the second fastest time in Kansas women's history. Hann owns the all-time women's 60-meter dash record with the time of 7.45 seconds, which she ran last year at the Big 12 Championships.
Kansas' underclassmen placed well at the home event.
Freshman Matt Baysinger won the 600-yard race, his first career victory, with a time of 1:11.44. Sophomore Mark Gdowski pushed Baysinger in the same heat and placed fourth with a time of 1:12.75. Gdowski, a middle-distance runner, topped his previous personal best at last year's Jayhawk Invitational.
Freshmen placed in distance events
as well. Freshman distance runner Connie Abbott won the women's mile run with a time of 5:17.71, and freshman Colby Wissel won the 3,000-meter race with a time of 8:26.26.
Freshman spinner Julius Jiles finished sixth in the 60-meter hurdles with a time of 8.17 seconds.
Kansas coach Stanley Redwine said he was pleased with the his young team's success.
"We had a lot of freshmen that performed well today, and that is very exciting" Redwine said.
Redwine said, however, that the upperclassmen should not be overlooked. Senior thrower Sheldon Battle continued his streak of national qualifying weight throws with his throw of 65' 4.25".
Senior Amy Linnen won the women's pole vault with the jump of 12-feet-5.5-inches. Junior Jeremy Mims, a middle-distance runner from Iowa City, Iowa, won the 800 meter run with a time of 1:51.48.
Coach Redwine said he thought the Jayhawks could build on the weekend's success.
"Our team is starting to do what we are expecting them to do and what they are capable of doing," Redwine said. "It is always great to have those performances at home."
Former Jayhawk national champion and All-American Leo Bookman won the 60-meters and the 200-meters while competing for Team Nike.

Safin, Williams win Australian Open, earn Grand Slam titles
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MELBOURNE, Australia -- Seeing somebody else unravel was different for Marat Safin. So was winning the Australian Open.
After losing two of the last three finals at Melbourne Park, Safin defeated Lleyton Hewitt 1-6, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4 last night, deflating a crowd hungering for an Australian winner. This was the Russian's second Grand Slam tournament title, his other coming at the 2000 U.S. Open against Pete Sampras in the final.
Safin, who defeated top-ranked Roger Federer in the semifinals, was called the worthiest of champions by Hewitt.
"You knocked off the guy who's nearly been impossible," Hewitt told Safin. "You thoroughly deserve it."
After the third-seeded Hewitt shanked a forehand on match point, Safin was surprisingly subdued, making only one fist pump. Hewitt told him, "Mate, too good."
Hewitt was hoping to be the first Australian man to win the national championship since Mark Edmondson
in 1976. And he seemed in command and on his way in the first set, making only one unforced error. He led 3-0 in the third set and Safin was on the edge, smashing his racket into the court three times in eight points.
But that seemed to clear his head while Hewitt lost his. The Aussie became enraged at a line judge who called him for a foot fault on a break point in the seventh game of the third set. Hewitt saved the break point and then screamed at the line judge, pointing his finger twice at his face. That earned Hewitt a code violation from the
umpire.
"I'm human and I'm disappointed — to come that close, train so hard to put yourself in a position — it's hard to take at the moment," said Hewitt, who will replace Andy Roddick at No. 2 in the rankings. "Making a U.S. Open final, a Masters Cup final, and now an Australian Open final, I'm obviously doing something right. But would have been nice to get one of them."
Serena Williams ended Russia's domination of the women's majors a day earlier, winning her first Grand Slam
Earlier yesterday, Australians Scott Draper and Samantha Stosur, a wildcard pair playing together for the first time, won the mixed doubles, defeating Kevin Ullyett of Zimbabwe and Liezel Huber of South Africa 6-2, 2-6, 7-6 (6).
final in 18 months and her seventh overall with a 2-6, 6-3, 6-0 victory over top-ranked Lindsay Davenport.
"For some reason, all the stars have lined up and we've had a cracker tournament," tournament director Paul McNamee said. "This was one out of the box. Just savor this, it's rarely like this."

RECRUITING: Mangino targets 'upper-echelon players'
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
Kansas' top junior college transfer who will sign on Wednesday is defensive end Rodney Allen. Allen played for Garden City Community College the past seasons where he had 10 sacks last year and was selected as a junior college All-American. A four-star recruit according to rivals.com, Allen chose to play with the Jayhawks despite receiving offers from Kansas State, Oklahoma State and Iowa State. In fact, Kansas State appeared to be front-runner with Allen until he visited the Kansas campus just more than a week ago.
Mangino and his staff almost didn't get Allen to visit the school, as Allen nearly canceled the visit to commit to Kansas State. At one point, Allen said he was 80 percent sure that he would become a Wildcat. But after Allen visited Lawrence, he was sold. Mangino's recruiting prowess and his ability to lure players away from other schools has never been stronger.
Mangino has always been fond of junior college players, as many of them make immediate impacts as Jayhawks, and he has done a great job of recognizing the talent that is needed to play at the Big 12 level.
Just look at last year's team. The defense would not have been nearly as strong without the additions of cornerback Theo Baines and defensive lineman Jermial Ashley. The offensive line would have been significantly weaker without Joe Vaughn. All three of those players were junior college transfers and played large roles immediately after joining the team.
Mangino found a way last season to beat Kansas State on the football field for the first time in more than a decade, but now he is also winning the in-
state recruiting battle. The Jayhawks will sign the top player from the state, quarterback Kerry Meier. It is amazing that Mangino was able to get Meier, considering his brother Dylan is currently Kansas State's quarterback, and his other brother, Shad, played for the Wildcats and is now the tight end for the Tennessee Titans. The Jayhawks nabbed three out of the top four high school players from the Sunflower state.
While most of the players coming in next year are threestar recruits, that does not mean that Mangino is not receiving interest from the upper-echelon players. In fact, Mangino nearly received a visit from the top player in the state of Texas, tight end Martellus Bennett. Kansas recruited against the best programs in the country: Texas, Miami, Oklahoma, Louisiana State and Texas A&M.
Unfortunately, the Jayhawks didn't nab Bennett, but Mangino did show the rest of the Big 12 something: He is not going to concede the best players in the country to Oklahoma, Texas or other prestigious programs. With a few more years of strong play on the field, complete with bowl game appearances and maybe even a Big 12 title, Mangino will be able to go after top players with a great chance of getting them to wear the crimson and blue.
Mangino and his staff have the program headed in the right direction on the football field, as expectations will be very high next year.
But he is also doing an outstanding job off the field, bringing in the necessary talent that will bring Kansas to the next level, where it can be a basketball AND a football school.

Seniors Wayne Simien, Keith Langford, Mike Lee and Aaron Miles have a special stake in tonight's game against the Titers, as their last opportunity to play Mizzou at Allen Fieldhouse. The seniors have never lost to Missouri at home.
BY MIRANDA LENNING
mlenning@kansan.com
KANSAN, SENIOR SPORTWRITER
Not that the Kansas vs. Missouri game needed added incentive, but for the Kansas seniors, it just might have it.
This is the final time Aaron Miles, Keith Langford, Mike Lee and Wayne Simien will face the Tigers in Allen Fieldhouse, where this group of seniors has never lost to Missouri.
In fact, the four seniors have pretty much had the upper hand in the series for their entire careers.
They own a 7-1 overall record against the Tigers and haven't lost to them in Kansas or Missouri. The seniors' one slip was in the 2003 Big 12 Conference tournament in Dallas.
"The win our freshman year felt good, but it felt good our sophomore year and junior years too," senior guard Aaron Miles said. "It's always nice to beat them."
The thing is, the rivalry is so heated, it doesn't matter what kind of year the teams are having — they will always get up for this
— they will always get up for this game.
Langford. On Saturday, after the Jayhawks' 90-65 victory against Texas, Langford didn't know that the Tigers had lost on their home court to the Kansas State Wildcats.
Just ask senior guard Keith
But for right now, the senior Jayhawks are focused on having their way with the Tigers one last time in Allen Fieldhouse.

win this game."
If Kansas can beat Missouri, it would be in good position at the top of the Big 12 Conference. Right now, the Jayhawks are 6-0, with a one-game lead over
"One of our goals is to win a conference championship, and in order to do that, you have to take care of business, especially at home," Miles said. "That is why it is so important for us to
Langford said the Jayhawks were trying to let everyone know that they were going to have to get through Kansas to get to the Big 12 Conference trophy.
"Kansas is always on top of the race," Langford said. "We want people to know the road is going to go through here."

RIVALRY: Tigers still a threat
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
Texas, Missouri lost at home to Kansas State on Saturday.
Kansas coach Bill Self isn't fooled by Missouri's .500 record. He said that was not indicative of the Tigers' talent.
The Tigers' scoring attack, when balanced, features four legitimate scoring threats sophomore forward Linas Kleiza, sophomore guard Thomas Gardner, junior guard Jimmy McKinney and senior guard Jason Conley
"There's four guys right there who can go for 15 to 20 to 25 every night, so we need to do something to make sure they
don't get off to a good start," Self said.
Combine their talent with a desire to defeat Kansas, and the Jayhawks could have a tough game on their hands.
"They'll play very hard," Self said. "Hopefully they won't play great, because we'll do some things well ourselves."
Miles said it didn't matter whether Missouri was struggling. The Tigers always bring their A-game to Lawrence.
"Regardless of how Missouri is playing, when Kansas and Missouri play, that is their best game," Miles said.
The 25-point defeat was the Longhorns' largest margin of defeat in coach Rick Barnes' seven years at Texas.
Kansas played arguably its best game of the season on
Despite all of the high-flying jams, the lopsided score and the amount of fans packed into the fieldhouse, Self said the most impressive element of Saturday's game was Kansas' cohesive play.
Saturday. The Jayhawks got off to a big lead, and for the first time this season against a good team, they didn't surrender it.
"We rebounded the ball well, we executed well, got the shots we wanted and we played great team defense," Self said.
His team forced the Longhorns into 20 turnovers and converted 29 points off of
them.
Senior guard Keith Langford said Saturday's victory put the Jayhawks one step closer to their goal of winning a conference championship. Tonight's game is just another stepping stone, he said.
But as high as the Jayhawks are, Missouri, which sits at 2-5 in the Big 12 Conference, is equally low, and Saturday's home defeat didn't help. Langford said he wanted to make sure the Jayhawks don't do anything to improve the Tigers' spirits.
"Going into the game, they'll be coming off a loss," Langford said. "We want to kick 'em while they're down."

KANSAN SPORTSWITTER
LINCOLN, Neb. — A gun show was held next door to the Kansas women's basketball game against Nebraska on Saturday, but Kansas junior guard Kaylee Brown performed some sharp shooting of her own.
Brown came out on fire during the Jayhawks' 59-48 defeat to the Cornhuskers, hitting her first five shots. In the first 10 minutes of the game, she went 3-3 from behind the three-point line. Some of her success, she said, was due to the Cornhuskers tight defense on junior forward Crystal Kemp.
"When we have Crystal inside and they pinch down on her, it opens up the outside," Brown said. "I was able to knock down some shots today."
Brown was well on her way to a career night before she was whistled for her second foul with just less than 10 minutes remaining in the first half. As the Jayhawks struggled on offense, Brown sat on the bench and watched for the remainder of the first half.
She started the second half and her hot shooting continued. She scored on the team's opening possession, hitting a midrange jumper that gave the Jayhawks the lead, 29-28. She missed for the first time three minutes into the second half when her three-point attempt
clanked the iron. Foul trouble once again forced Brown to the bench, where she watched as the game slipped away.
Brown finished with a team high 15 points on 6-of-9 shooting, including 3-of-4 behind the arc. After the game, Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said she was pleased with Brown's contributions.
"Kaylee hit some tough shots," Henrickson said. "Two of them were off of busted plays."
On Saturday, Brown was the key contributor for a Kansas team that has been lacked a go-to scorer. Because of that, a different player has to step up her game each night, Henrickson said.
"We don't have a 30-points-anight scorer or a six-blocks-agame defender," Henrickson said. "Our kids have to understand that they have to bring what they can bring every single night, no matter where, no matter when, no matter who. We just didn't do that tonight."
Freshman guard Taylor McIntosh has been more aggressive lately. Earlier in the season, she was reluctant to attack the basket, but she has become more aggressive and comfortable with taking the ball to the hoop, Henrickson said.
Game Notes
"No one is going to guard her 15 feet from the rim," said Henrickson. "We've worked on it a lot in practice, and tried talking her into driving the lane. A
lot of times, she's standing in front of the rim, and her kid is over there doubling Crystal, and she has the ball. She needs to go to the rim and make a play."
McIntosh may have tried a little too hard on Saturday. She was called for a charge when she knocked over a Nebraska player, while driving to the rim.
After committing eight turnovers in the game's first 20 minutes, the Jayhawks committed 15 turnovers in the second half. At one point in the second period, they committed turnovers on five straight possessions.
"I thought we were soft, and didn't handle any pressure in the passing lane. We were not very strong with the basketball." Henrickson said.
Nebraska stepped up its defensive pressure in the second half, but Kemp attributed most of the turnovers to poor execution by the lahawks.
"I think we broke down," said Kemp, who had 10 points and six rebounds in 39 minutes of action. "There were times when we were frustrated because we didn't get our first look to fall, and we kind of forced up our second and third looks when things just weren't there for us."
*The crowd of 4,012 at The Devaney Center for Saturday night's game was a season high for Nebraska. In contrast, Kansas' season high was 5,551 when it hosted Kansas State on Jan 8.
No.25 Brigham Young defeats Kansas

After rallying last week to defeat Illinois State, the Kansas tennis team (1-1) struggled to sustain any sort of rhythm in a 7-0 defeat to No. 25 Brigham Young University on Saturday in Overland Park.
Four Jayhawks lost in straight sets.
Junior Christine Skoda fell to Olga Boulytcheva, 1-6, 0-6. Skoda, who leads the team with
"We still have a lot to work on," Kansas coach Amy Hall-Holt said after the match.
31 career singles victories, has dropped both of her matches this season.
Freshman Lauren Hommell,
who posted the second-most
victories on the team in the fall,
behind Stephanie Smith, was
ousted by Anastasia Sourkova,
3-6. 3-6. Smith was also defeated
in straight set fashion to doubles
specialist Dolly Chang. 1-6. 0-6.
Junior Luiza Loureiro fared no
better, as the Brazilian native
was defeated by Hadley
MacFarlane. 2-6. 4-6.
Despite the poor performance in singles, Saturday did mark the debut of Kansas freshman Elizaveta Avdeeva. A highly
touted player from Obninsk, Russia, Avdeeva gave the Cougars' Lauren Jones quite a scare in the singles match. Having taken the first set 6-1, Avdeeva lost her momentum as Jones stormed back to claim the next two sets, 1-6, 1-6.
Brigham Young's Sofia Holden knocked off sophomore Brittany Brown in come-from-behind fashion, 3-6, 7-5, 1-0 (4) Brown, who won the first set, saw a second-set lead slip from her raquet during Holden's late-match rally.
The Cougars swept the doubles competition, winning all three matches. Lauren Jones and
Dolly Chang took care of business in the top slot, as the doubles tandem disposed of Hommell and Avdeeva, 8-4. Then, Hadley MacFarlane and Anastasia Sourkova continued the exceptional play for Brigham Young by knocking off Brown and Sophomore Ashley Filberth, 8-5. Olga Boultcheva and Sofia Holden defeated Skoda and Loureiro, 8-3.
"We are just a few points away from being where we want to be as a team," Hall-Holt said. "It is all about competing and being tough."

FALLS: Second half turnovers haunt the Jayhawks
CONTINUED FROM 1B
After a perfect first half, Brown started up again following the intermission by nailing another long distance shot on the first Jayhawk possession. Then Brown's hot hand cooled as she missed her next two shots and then was removed from the game at the 13:47 mark with her third foul.
As the perimeter scoring slowed to a halt, Kansas' inside game also stalled and the Jayhawks put up only 10 points in the first 12:32 of the second half. During this stretch, the
Cormhuskers enhanced its lead to 12 points. 49-37.
Turnovers that fueled the Nebraska run plagued the entire Kansas second half. While the Jayhawks committed eight turnovers in the first half, Kansas gave it away 15 times in the second frame. Junior guard Erica Hallman, the second leading scorer for the Jayhawks, scored 12 points on only four-for-15 shooting. Hallman recorded eight assists, but turned the ball over six times. Kansas hosts Oklahoma at 7 p.m. Wednesday.
