Matt Zennier rocked gently in his chair Wednesday in a Johnson County courtroom, anxiously waiting for the judge to set a trial date for the murder of his wife Teri, a former KU graduate student.
Not more than five feet away from Zenner sat the man charged with killing his wife, 18-year-old Andrew Ellmaker. While Zenner sat with a group of family and friends, Ellmaker sat between two prison guards, slowly moving his chair left to right and staring at the ground with a lifeless gaze.
Zenner and his family appeared to be taking the tragic events in stride but admitted that seeing Ellmaker was emotionally tough.

Lawrence's new title: second meanest city in the treatment of the homeless. The title was given Wed., Jan. 11 by the National Coalition for the Homeless and the National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty.
But with the work of services such as the Salvation Army, Lawrence Interdenominational Nutrition Kitchen (LINK) and Jubilee Café, Salvation Army Shelter Manager Matthew Faulk was surprised at the placement.
"That ranking was ridiculous," Faulk said. "Meanest ... What does that mean? You can't make a deduction like that."
According to the National Coalition for the Homeless Web site, the rankings are based on one or more of the following criteria: the number of anti-homeless laws in the city, the enforcement of those laws and severities of penalties, the

Singing prisoners to perform at local church
By DEJUAN ATWAY
datway@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Freedom is an elusive aspiration for inmates at Lansing Correctional Facility. Prison officials monitor every aspect of their lives, telling them when to eat, sleep and work.
They are known as the East Hill Singers, and they will perform a concert entitled "How Can I Keep From Singing" at 4 p.m. Sunday at First Presbyterian Church, 2415 Clinton Parkway.
But 20 of those inmates find freedom through song.
of about 20 inmates and anywhere from 30 to 50 volunteer singers from metropolitan Kansas City, Topeka and Lawrence areas.
The chorus received its name from the minimum security east wing unit of the correctional facility where the prisoners reside. The group consists
The East Hill Singers are a part of Arts in Prison Inc., a Kansas City, Kan., organization that specializes in programs for inmates. The nonprofit organization offers curricula such as creative writing, gardening, guitar lessons and drama.
Elvera Voth, the founder of Arts in Prison Inc. and conductor of the chorus, said the chorus helped build confidence among the inmates.
"When I started Arts in Prison, I realized how much need there is in the prison system for the arts," she said. "The time they spend in the singing program and other programs will help them learn
more about themselves. Some of these guys will be our neighbors."
The chorus stretches the vocal landscape and encompasses several genres, from rap to classical music to American folk songs. The inmates also offer personal narrations about their lives during the concert.
Nancy Meis, executive director of Arts in Prison Inc., said the choir served the purpose of providing hope to the inmates and the belief that they could readjust to life once they were released from prison.
"So many inmates have told us that it has changed their lives," she said. "It sounds surprising to hear that about an art class."
The group's most recent performance, held Jan. 8 at Blessed Sacrament
ment Church in Kansas City, Kan., was met with some opposition. A group of about 50 people showed up at the door of the packed church to kneel and pray the rosary in disapproval of the concert being held in a Catholic church, according to The Kansas City Kansan.
Linda Bridges, the office administrator of First Presbyterian Church, said she believed Sunday's concert would be an enlightening experience for everyone in attendance.
"They have an excellent reputation, and the church is looking forward to the event," she said. "Prison ministry is something we have wanted to do for a while; it presents an opportunity for the gentlemen to reconcile with society."

A NEW YEAR IN ANOTHER WORLD
NOTICE
by James Foley
福禄不孕
Ringing in 2006, Japanese-style
Every day the sun slowly sank below the horizon at 4:30 and extinguished even the smallest flame of warmth from our bodies. New Year's Eve was no exception. It had been cold and dark for hours by the time we navigated the cramped, yet eerily quiet streets to our destination—the local shrine. The entire town seemed to be standing, waiting in twin single-file lines to step up to the altar and complete the annual ritual. Chatter was minimal. The loudest sound audible was the ringing of bells as each patron approached the altar, tossed money into the offering box, pulled a nearby rope to ring one of the bells, and made a wish. Afterward, visitors kept warm around a bonfire while enjoying a hot cup of thick, heady, amazake—a sweet, non-alcoholic rice drink traditionally drunk around the New Year.
This was New Year's Eve in Japan. No one was puking or screaming or kissing. No one wore goofy hats or sparkly accessories. No liquor or drugs were burning holes in our memories. Four friends and I were visiting Japan during winter break, and at the shrine on New Year's Eve we were the only foreigners in sight, uninitiated to this Japanese tradition.
Experiencing New Year's in Japan is completely different from America. In Japan, it's a holiday traditionally spent at home with family. They don't throw a big party, and there no giant countdown; making a trip to a shrine is the main event. There's also a New Year's cuisine called osechi that is only eaten during the holiday. Each osechi dish has a meaning, such as good health, longevity or fertility.
As the clock struck midnight, Japan collectively said goodbye to 2005. From the enormously popular shrines in the middle of a megalopolis like Tokyo or Osaka, to unknown ones in off-the-map towns like Fuchinobe, where we spent the evening, people gathered to celebrate. According to an article in www.about.com by Shizuko Mishima, a Japan travel writer, the bells ring in Buddhist temples 108 times at the beginning of the New
Year to expel the 108 attachments humans have to their eos.
Other than the bells, Japan is quiet on New Year's. Jim Piller, Lawrence Junior, who studies at Obirin University in Fuchinobe, says he likes the low-key aspect of New Year's in Japan. "It's not just some excuse to get wasted and not remember," he says. "It's more personal and spiritual. The whole way it's done in America is stupid."
An hour's train ride away, in greater Tokyo—one of the world's most populated cities—the scene was strangely similar. David Titterington, a 2005 KU graduate living and teaching English in Japan, says even the streets of Tokyo were "quiet and holy" on New Year's Eve. He says he spent the evening at a public bathhouse, completed the traditional ritual at a local shrine at midnight and then went home to sleep to the sound of temple bells.
Makiko Imamura, a graduate student from Sapporo, Japan, has lived in America for almost two years and has experienced New Year's in both the American and Japanese ways. She says one of the strangest differences in New Year's customs between the two cultures is the way you wish someone a happy New Year. In Japan, when you see someone for the first time in the New Year, you say in very polite, eloquent Japanese akemashite omedetou gozaimasu, which implies that a new year has begun and that's time to revitalize and shine brightly in a new life. Here in America, our only salutation is a blunt, informal "Happy New Year," or a sloppy drunken kiss.
For anybody not educated in Japanese culture and history, the anticlimactic Japanese New Year may come as a surprise. Kathy Piller, Lawrence senior, who traveled to Japan over break to visit her brother, Jim, says she expected New Year's to be similar to America. She says that it marks a new beginning better, and that it wasn't just another excuse to get wasted. "It's a ritual," she says, "but not necessarily religious, just personal."

GET READY FOR THE BEAKEND
BY DAVID ARMSTRONG
editor@kansan.com
KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
If you're back in town and looking to get down to some local sounds, then look no further than Lawrence's very own downtown.
Whether you're an experienced rocker that knows every venue in Lawrence, or have always wanted to catch a live show but never got around to it, tonight will be a great opportunity to check out the music scene on Massachusetts Street.
You'll need the next few hours to rest up if you want to get down on a serious groove for the rest of the night. The second round of local sounds start with a CD release party at The Granada Theater, 1020 Massachusetts St. Tri Point Paradox is the main act, but you won't want to miss The Brody Buster Band beforehand. Arguably Lawrence's best harmonica player, Brody Buster and his band will begin with what Brody calls a "rocky-blues" feel. Tri Point Paradox is calming, yet exciting, with a climactic-rock funky soul that is poetically spun and relaxing. The show starts at 9 p.m. and admission is $4.
Though the music scene is not limited to downtown, a plethora of local artists will perform at venues up and down Massachusetts Street tonight. Literally, all of these venues are within one block of each other.
Red Lyon Tavern, 944 Massachusetts St., is more of an Irish pub than a music venue, but it makes exceptions. The band Rowan, described by the bartender as a "traditional Irish band," will start the night off at 5:30 p.m.
If you want to mix it up a bit, a great deal of music is yet to be heard. Two more local shows start at 10 p.m. at venues directly across the street from one another.
At The Jackpot Saloon, 943 Massachusetts St., for $4 ($5 if you're under 21) you get to see three bands. The headlining act, Paper Airplanes, is from Wichita, but Long Division and Davan are both local. Paper Airplanes refers to itself as Indie Pop, which makes sense, because the band is influenced by '60s Pop and Indie Rock and compares its sound to bands such as Built to Spill and Pavement. Davan feels somewhat wanderlust in an almost clairvoyant, similar to the band TV on the Radio way, starting peculiarly slow, yet tempting the listener into a trusty finish. Long Division is a harder rock band that shows lots of emotion, transitioning in and out of head banging and head nodding.
If you're not diggin' what youre hearing throughout the night, just hop on over to another venue. You may feel like you're wasting your money by only listening to a song or two and then leaving, but think of it this way. At least you are supporting your local bands, checking out the downtown music community and taking a chance to give yourself something new to listen to.
For a buck a band, head across the street to The Replay Lounge, 946 Massachusetts St., where famous Lawrence bands Ad Astra Per Aspera and Conner will also take the stage at 10 p.m. Conner is friendly to the ears with a touch of pop and light punk. Ad Astra Per Aspera has properly named itself because the band rocks with a multidimensional emphasis, bringing psychosomatic movement into a mysteriously confirming intensity.

Fact of the day
Ohio, which is remembered as the 17th state in the union, technically was not admitted into the union until 150 years after its recognition inception. When President Jefferson recognized Ohio as a state in 1803, the custom of declaring statehood through Congress was not yet established. After researchers figured this out, President Eisenhower signed an act that fixed this mistake on August 7, 1953, which established that Ohio was admitted as a state on March 1, 1803.

Fire causes blanket of smoke
LAWRENCE
KANSAN STAFF REPORT
editor@kansan.com
Smoke from a large house fire stretched from Clinton Parkway north to Sixth Street and south to 31st Street on Wednesday.
One KU student reported the odor of smoke was discernible from inside her house more than three blocks away. Another said the roads surrounding the area were patchy with smoke.
No one was injured but the damage to a family's home, appeared extensive.
The house is in the 4400 block of W.24th Place, near Clinton Parkway and Inverness Road. The fire started in the basement. The cause was under investigation, said Jerry Karr, Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical division chief.
Firefighters spent more than an hour-and-a-half trying to gain control of the blaze. Eventually they knocked out portions of the door and cut holes into the side of the house to combat the fire.
"Basement fires are really hard. Any time you have a basement fire, it's hard to gain access," Karr said.
Karr said six people were at home when the fire began, five children and one adult. Chris Gillespie, the home's owner, said as soon as he smelled smoke, he got his children out of the house. He also took the cars from the garage.
Jen Banks, Buffalo Grove, Ill. sophomore, lives in The Legends apartment complex on West 24th Street. The house neighbors the apartments on the west side of the building.
Instead of the smoke, it was the large gathering of people outside that caught her attention. She eventually drove out to see the effects of smoke on the road herself.
"We're on the other side so it didn't really bother us," Banks said. "I just know there was really thick smoke on the road."

Dean hired; provost candidate to visit New dean hopes to improve CLAS 1st of 5 choices to visit
Joseph Steinmetz, who will take over as dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences in July, describes himself as an avid reader and a terrible golf player. He has a wife of 30 years, two sons and a startlingly pleasant laugh.
He is leaving Indiana University after almost two decades as the executive associate dean of the College of Arts and Sciences to take over his new position at the University.
Barbara Romzek, interim dean of the College, said that Indiana University and the University of Kansas are "similar institutions with a similar student profile."
"I think his background will serve him well and he'll surely be able to step in at KU fairly quickly." Romzek said.
PETER L. MURPHY
Romzek has served as interim dean since Kim Wilcox left the position last July to become provost at Michigan State University. Romzek will continue as dean until Steinmetz assumes the position on July 1.
Steinmetz began at Indiana as a psychology professor, then moved on to serve as the chair of the department for 10 years. He has worked recently in the dean's office, first as a senior adviser and then in the executive associate dean position that he currently occupies.
Steinmetz's areas of study include clinical science, neural science and cognitive science. He said he intended to move his
neural science lab to Kansas and hoped to eventually teach.
Steinmetz
"I think it was a combination of his overall experience in terms of his academic career, teaching, research and administrative experience and his ability to describe a clear vision of the future for the
college at KU," chemistry professor Craig Lunte said. Lunte served on the search committee that selected Steinmetz as a replacement for Wilcox.
Steinmetz said that he was exceedingly accessible and that he greatly valued insights from faculty and students. Rather than focusing on making any major changes, he said he planned to "strengthen and aggressively move forward" existing programs.
"I think the worst thing to do is just be complacent and stand still with departments and programs that are there. I think it's really important that you continue to try to get good programs even better." Steinmetz said.
Regarding tuition increases, Steinmetz pointed out that all state institutions are struggling as a result of decreases in state funding. The major way to compensate for such deficiencies would be through tuition, as long as the tuition improved the experience.
"Ithink that students in general don't mind tuition increments if they're getting something for those increments." Steinmetz said.
Virginia Sapiro was announced as the first of five finalists in the provost search yesterday.
Sapiro, 54, is currently at the University of Wisconsin. Madison is serving as interim provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs as well as associate vice chancellor for teaching and learning.
— Edited by Erick R. Schmidt
"She is going to be the first candidate of what the committee feels is a very distinguished group of candidates," said Jeff Aube, chairman of the provost search committee and professor of medicinal chemistry. "I think that everybody involved in the University is looking for somebody who can serve the entire University of Kansas and somebody who can do so fairly and responsibly."
On Monday, Sapiro will begin her three-day visit to campus with a public presentation at the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics from 4 to 5 p.m., followed by a public reception.
"I've heard a lot of great things about the University and about the campus and about Lawrence, but I've never been there, so this is going to be a very exciting trip for me," Sapiro said.
Nick Sterner, Student Senate president and search committee member, said that it was important for students, faculty and staff to attend the public sessions and read the online information about the candidates.
"The feedback part of this process is the most integral part," Sterner said.
The four additional candidates will visit campus between Feb. 1 and Feb. 14.

THE FENG SHUI GUIDE TO LOVE
As we approach the Chinese New Year, test your Feng Shui knowledge and find out how this ancient art of placement could improve your love life. by Katie Moyer
Online dating. The Karma Sutra Couples' therapy, Feng Shui. Wait, Feng Shu? Yep. Although it may not be widely known as a guide to finding love or a quick fix for rekindling a relationship, this ancient Chinese art is applicable to every aspect of your life, including the love part.
According to Stephanie Roberts of www.fastfengshui.com, the key principle of Feng Shui is that everything is connected energetically. In other words, your thoughts, feelings and emotions are directly influenced by your surroundings. By using certain guidelines in placing and arranging things around you — furniture, art, plants, clutter — you introduce either a positive or negative flow of life energy. Negative energy in your home, Roberts says, could contribute to problems with either finding love or maintaining a healthy relationship.
Feng Shui guru Debbie Spirt explains that steps can be taken to create a positive environment for love to bloom. Feeling a little wilted? Take this quiz to find out how you can use Feng Shui to find your spring fling.
1. According to Feng Shui beliefs, which part of the home represents the couple or love sector?
a.south
b.southwest
c.northeast
Answer: b. Southwest. According to DeSpirt, there are eight main compass directions in your personal space, one of which is the love sector. DeSpirt cites an instance when a client of hers complained of poor communication with her spouse. The southwest corner of the home had a broken phone outlet, wires hanging loose from the wall. After having it replaced, the couple's communication began to improve. Implementing cures like this one, she says, can create a better relationship with your partner.
2. What kind of sheets should be on your bed for romantic love making?
a.pink or green satin sheets
b.red satin sheets
c.white Egyptian cotton sheets
Answer:a. pink or green satin sheets. Pink or green sheets, however, along with the scent of roses, dim lighting and soft music create a positive energy flow for a romantic Feng Shui mood. DEspart explains that red satin sheets and red light bulbs in two lamps beside the bed are better for hot passionate sex.
3. What cures, or objects of Feng Shui importance, can be placed in pairs around your home to increase your chances in love?
a. mandarin ducks
b. bamboo plants
c. roosters
Answer: a and b. mandarin ducks and bamboo plants. DeSpirt says that mandarin ducks are a Chinese symbol of love because they are mates for life.Two bamboo plants placed side by side are also great for enhancing the energy of love.She suggests that as you water the plant, visualize your love growing or beginning, and as each new leaf appears you will continue to see your love grow.
4. What does Feng Shui say about past relationships?
a. Make amends with your ex.
b. Burn their apartment down.
c. Remove all items in your house that remind you of past relationships.
Answer: c. Remove all ex memorabilia.
According to DeSpirt, Feng Shui makes your home environment reflect your inner desires. If you're looking for new love, throw away or store old love letters, photos and gifts given to you by a past boyfriend or girlfriend. She also says that you should get rid of old bed sheets, especially if you were sexually intimate on them with a past lover.
5. What Feng Shul step can you take when looking for love?
a. Place a similar side table on either side of the bed.
b. Move your bed an inch or two to change the flow of energy in the room.
c. Open the windows every day to let the old energy out.
d. all of the above
ing items in pairs throughout the house, keeping the southwest corners of the home clear of clutter and placing Feng Shui cures in the southwest corners are also helpful for maintaining positive energy.
Answer: d. all of the above. These are all ways Feng Shui can aid your love life, DeSpirit says. By understanding how energy works couples can harness the energy to keep their relationship vibrant and healthy. Writing your intentions of what you want from your relationship, plac-

Policy requires the write stuff
BY FRED A. DAVIS III

KANSAN SCREW WRITER
Prospective Jayhawks looking to enroll at the University of Kansas in fall 2007 will have an additional item to complete with their admissions package a writing component.
At the monthly Kansas Board of Regents Meeting in Topeka on Wednesday, David Shulenburger, provost and executive vice chancellor, proposed the measure that would make the writing component a required part of admissions.
As part of the proposal, six of the universities within the Kansas Board of Regents, as well as Washburn University in Topeka, would require the ACT or SAT writing test as part of the admissions process. One member school, Fort Hays State University, already has its own writing test that it administers to students at orientation. Therefore, the regents left it to the discretion of each university to decide whether the would require the ACT or SAT from students.
The writing test itself is a relatively new feature of both
the ACT and SAT. The ACT began offering the writing test as an optional 50-minute essay for an additional $14 last year. The essay is optional because not all universities require a student to submit the written component for admissions, said Ken Gullette, director of media relations for the ACT. The writing test for the SAT exam is mandatory.
The purpose behind adding the written component to the admissions process was not to deter students from attending KU, according to Shulenberger. Instead, he said it would serve as
a tool for advisors to determine a prospective student's writing comprehension and to help with placement. Also, state law establishes admissions criteria, making it illegal to use the writing score as a grounds for acceptance to the university since it is not a part of the pre-existing admissions criteria.
Currently, only four other Big 12 schools - Baylor, Texas, Texas A&M and Texas Tech - require a student to submit the writing test. The requirement began last year at those schools.

STUDENT SENATE
Rising textbook costs target of new campaign

KANKSAN STAFF WRITER
For the average student, college is an expensive experience in which textbooks account for a significant part of that overall cost. The Governmental Accountability Office recently reported that the price of textbooks and supplies has risen at twice the rate of inflation during the past two decades. It now accounts for about 26 percent of tuition and fees for a four-year public institution.
Student Senate has joined Student Public Interest Research Groups, a national organization, to contact publishers to stop bundling. Bundling is packaging textbooks with additional material related to the same topic. Senate also contacted the organization to stop the release of unnecessary new editions that cause textbook prices to rise.
The textbook issue is starting to gain national attention as more universities join in and write resolutions of their own,
said Hannah Love, Dodge City sophomore and College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Senator.
Love said they were trying to get publishers to understand that additional materials included in the bundles, such as CD-ROMs, were driving up the cost of new books in ways that only benefited the publishers. She said that a majority of the time bundling was not necessary and that was why they were encouraging publishers to change.
Bruce Hildebrand, executive director of higher education for the Association of American Publishers, said that the reason more bundles were being used was because the publishers were beginning to take on new responsibilities.
"They wouldn't be getting snippy with us if they weren't worried about it," said Love. "They were of course going to deny it because that's how they make their profits. They are increasing their profits, so obviously they are doing something."
In the past, universities would provide extra course materials such as language workbooks and study guides. Now that schools are no longer doing this, publishers have taken over and are now offering these as bundles.
In addition to contacting the publishers directly, Student Senate is trying to encourage more professors to let the bookstores know which books they will be using as early as possible so more used books can be found.
"Professors actually create the textbook market. We really value their participation in this process because we know they want to keep prices low for students," said Tim Norris, director of bookstores for the KU Memorial Unions.
When professors get their adoptions turned in sooner, it allows the bookstores to buy more books back at the end of the semester saving students even more money.
"This is the most immediate band aid that we can use to cover up the big problem. It's no where near the solution that needs to be happening." Love said.

Brian: So, when you watch a porn do you prefer to watch it where a girl is lying completely silent on the bed as the guy is going about his business, or would you rather listen to her scream her lungs out? Exactly. So, since you are in a porn-like situation, you need to take advantage of it. Keep the girl screaming, in fact, try to make her scream louder. No one makes your roommates stay in the apartment when you two are going at it like horny beasts, so if they choose to stay, then they have to listen to your pleasure. Tell your rooms they can use your sound effects as a starting point for their own pleasure trip.
Jessica: Isn't it funny how guys love it when they've got front row seats to the screams of delight, but think it's annoying otherwise? Bummer. Luckily, you've got the better deal and some options. You can do it at her place or your place when people aren't home or you could always kiss her when she's wailing away. If that doesn't shut her up, gently put your fingers in her mouth, put a pillow over her head, or offer a blanket for her to bite on. I'm sure she'll be too preoccupied with moaning to notice you're trying to get her to lay off the screaming.

JOYCE, SENIOR
Brian: Sometimes people won't see things just because someone points it out to them. When we are in relationships, we tend to be blind to our significant other's flaws. It may be hard to take, but the only way your roomie will ever realize what is actually happening may take a very long time and a very monumental event to catch her attention. Try to just talk to her about what behaviors you are noticing and what you think she needs to do. The best thing you can do at this point is to be completely honest with her so that she knows
Jessica: Unfortunately, I don't know that there's much else you can do, other than be a good, supportive friend. Expose her to people who build her up (including available men with big hearts whom you know she'll be attracted to). Anything to make her see how great she is and what she really deserves.

ELLIOTT, JUNIOR
Brian: Don't think you have to accomplish your mission any time soon. Take your time and get noticed in class, if she ever needs something in class, be the first to give it to her. Also, try to get into the same project or study group with her or ask her for help with some subject on a random night. It'll get you in the door. Then hopefully you can do some more pushing later on that night.

I know you from somewhere aren't you, 'insert common friend's name here'$^a$'friend." See where that takes you and if she doesn't remember you, so what. Continue talking with her in class and eventually ask her out for coffee or ice cream. Those are the best two casual dates that don't scream." I want to get in your pants."

"Praise be to Allah, the cherisher and sustainer of the worlds; most gracious, most merciful; master of the day of Judgment."
In the name by Katie Moyer A look behind the veil into the life of a Muslim woman of Allah
It's 6 a.m. and Jonama Qaddour, Overland Park senior, kneels on her prayer rug in her room, eyes closed as she faces the horizon in the east, toward Mecca. Hands clasped, Qaddour recites certain verses from the Quran, beginning with the opening chapter, or the Fatiha. The first four verses translate in English to "In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds; Most Gracious, Most Merciful; Master of the Day of Judgment." She bows to Allah, her forehead resting on the woven rug, palms on the floor beside her.
She rises on to bare feet. As she awakens from her spiritual trance, Qaddour returns to the worries of an average 22-year-old procrastinating college student, remembering she has a 10-page political science paper due that afternoon.
Qaddour is one of an estimated seven million Muslims, or followers of Islam, in the United States. Although a substantial figure, Islam accounts for only one percent of religion in the United States. Qaddour's minority status is visible as she walks with an air of mysterious modesty among other students at the University of Kansas. Her veil, or hijab, is a testament of faith she chooses to wear every day. Beneath the veil, however, one can find not only the long, dark hair revealed only to her family and other women, but also the beauty and ideals of a misunderstood religion.
The basics of Islam
Islam is the second largest and the fastest-growing religion in the world. The word "Islam" means "submission," which reflects the central principle of
submitting to God's will. For Muslims, Islam is both a religion and a way of life, says Beverly Mack, professor in African studies and co-producer of a documentary Because We are Beautiful: Muslim Women at a Midwestern University. Muslims, she explains, believe in one God (or Allah in Arabic), the Day of Judgment and individual accountability for their actions. Muslims also believe that the Prophet Muhammad is the founder of Islam, and that the Quran contains the literal word of God revealed to him by the angel Gabriel over a 20-year period.
Like Christians, who make up the largest religion in the world, Muslims believe in the virgin birth and the second coming of Jesus. However, they disagree with the Christian belief that Jesus died by crucifixion; instead, they believe he ascended into heaven from the cross, therefore also dismissing the Christian belief in his resurrection. The two faiths also accept the existence of the afterlife, eternal paradise and eternal hell. Muslims believe salvation can be achieved through correct belief, good deeds and the completion of the Five Pillars. One becomes a Muslim by declaring that "There is no deity but God, and Muhammad is the messenger of God." This announcement of faith is the first of the Five Pillars of the Islamic faith.
The Five Pillars of faith The basis of Qaddour's religious conviction is formed by the Five Pillars
The Quran is the sacred book of Islam. Verses from the Quran are used in Muslim prayer.
of the Islamic faith, which encompass the fundamental beliefs and practices shared by all Muslims. The pillars are the profession of faith, prayer, charity, fasting and the pilgrimage.The first pillar, the profession of faith is known in Arabic as shahadah.
Qaddour's parents instilled Muslim values in her and her five younger siblings at an early age. Her father also gave his children a sense of identity with their home country, Syria, where Qaddour was born and lived until she was 2. She hopes to do the same for her children by purchasing a home in Damascus, where she can take her family every summer. "It is my goal, once I'm a mother, to make sure my kids know where they come from," Dqadour says.
Qaddour felt her faith deepening when her family moved from Colorado to Kansas during her ninth grade year, when she attended an Islamic school in the Greater Kansas City area. There, Qaddour became comfortable with covering. The Quran teaches followers of Islam that women should begin wearing the hijab at puberty. In Colorado, her father allowed Qaddour to wait until she felt ready to cover. At the

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
C. Richard "Rick" Snyder, professor of clinical psychology, died of cancer Wednesday morning. The M. Erik Wright distinguished professor was diagnosed with the disease shortly after Christmas 2005.
Snyder's daughter, Staci Kemerling, said she would remember her father for his graciousness and kindness.
"He was just a good person that everyone enjoyed being around," she said.
In his years at the University, Snyder won 51 research
awards and 27 teaching awards, including the student-bestowed HOPE, Award in 1991 and 2004. The HOPE Award is given annually to outstanding educators. He authored and edited 23 books, including six on the psychology of hope, his primary research interest but also something he exemplified in his everyday life.
"Rick Snyder was a living advertisement for his psychology of hope, always engaged and positive," Chancellor Robert Hemenway said in a press release Wednesday.
He joined the University of Kansas in 1972 as an assistant professor of psychology. He directed the clinical psychology program from 1974 to 2001.
Snyder earned a bachelor's degree from Southern Methodist University and master's and doctoral degrees from Vanderbilt University. He also held an honorary doctorate from Indiana Wesleyan University, awarded in 2005.
Snyder is survived by his wife, Rebecca; two sons, Zachary Snyder and James Kemerling; a daughter; and two grandchildren. Services are yet to be announced.

A member of the KU faculty since 1988. Ashe also served as senior curator with the KU
Peter Luckey, pastor at the Plymouth Congregational Church, gave the eulogy at Ashe's funeral and described Ashe as a person with "immense curiosity of the natural world." Luckey added that when Ashe would take trips with his wife and son, he would stop and
capture bugs in his hand and explain the bugs to his son.
Ashe's wife, Aagie, said that Steve was the same person at work and home — a positive person who loved life and his family.
In memoriam, the Steve Ashe Scholarship Fund has been created and contributions to it should be sent through the Kansas University Endowment Association.

Expansion approved
BY CATHERINE ODSON
codson@kansan.com
KANSAN STEFF WRITER
The Board of Regents approved a $20 million, 45,000-square-foot addition to the Structural Biology Center on West Campus Thursday.
The addition is the third and final portion of the center and will house the KU High Throughput Screening lab and the KU Center of Excellence in Chemical Methodologies and Library Development, both of which are now in the Life Sciences Research Laboratory at 15th and Waka-
rusa streets.
Both pharmaceutical labs work on drug discovery and development, two of the University's research strengths, said Jim Roberts, vice provost for research. The work done by the two groups will also support the cancer center at the University of Kansas Medical Center.
The Life Sciences Research Laboratory will welcome an expanded Center of Environmentally Beneficial Catalysis, an engineering research center.
The University of Kansas initially constructed the center to consolidate commonly used equipment and resources so all
researchers could access them.
State bonds, issued by the Kansas Development Finance Authority, will finance the entire construction project. Kevin Boutright, director of communications at the University, said the debt incurred by the bonds would be paid with grant money appropriated for research overhead costs. No student money will be used.
Construction will begin on the addition this spring and extend west of the current center, with the first occupants moving in April 2007.

general political climate toward homeless people in the city, local advocate support for the meanest designation, the city's history of criminalization measures and the existence of pending or recently enacted criminalization legislation in the city.
Mark, who is homeless and asked to keep his last name anonymous, agreed with Faulk. Mark has been unemployed since May, which caused him to lose his apartment. He currently sleeps at the Salvation Army.
"If you're like me and you get kicked out of your apartment, Lawrence is the best town to be in," Mark said. "There are a lot of resources here. You're not going to sleep in the cold, and you're not going to starve."
Cindy Kirner has lived in Lawrence for 20 years and was homeless at one point during her time here.
"When I was homeless, Lawrence went out of its way for the homeless by providing clothing, food, resources for housing and transportation," Kirner said. "It is not a mean city at all."

other hearings were set for March and April of 2006.
This means Zenner and his family will be spending more time in the courtroom, and more time with Ellmaker.
"How can you begin the healing process when every two months you have to face him again? It's like a wound that just keeps getting reopened," Zenner said.
Dioszeghy said he will have to look at the case as a whole and review how evidence was collected. But Dioszeghy also admits the examination of Ellmaker's mental state will be a major piece to his defense argument.
In the meantime, Ellmaker's defense attorney, Joe Dioszeghy, will be preparing to argue that Ellmaker lacked the mental state required to be conscious of his actions.
"We have three experts who are ready to testify Andrew did not have the mental capacity required to be in control of his actions," Dioszeghy said.

All of these efforts support the center's primary goal to gain designated status by the National Cancer Institute. The center hopes to achieve this status by 2010.
He said the cancer center still has work to do, but the building blocks are in place to reach their goals.
Jensen accomplished this same goal with another center while working at Vanderbilt University.
Sebelius and Jensen both asked all Kansans for their support in cancer research and prevention.
"We've made a lot of progress in a relatively short amount of time," he said.
"There is simply no reason to believe that we can't win this war on cancer," Sebelius said.
"It is a goal worthy of state investment and support. And it is a goal, when achieved, which will enrich the lives of every Kansan."

Islamic school, covering was part of the girls' uniform requirement, she says. Although at first she took her veil off as soon as she left school, she soon felt that covering was part of her and her faith. She practiced wearing her veil out in public. After some practice and prayer, covering became part of her daily routine. "It's a part of who I am now," Qaddaid says, "and something no one can take from me."
Mack explains that the purpose of wearing the hijab is mainly for modesty. Qaddour agrees, saying that covering forces people to focus on a woman's face instead of the rest of her outward appearance, placing more importance on inward beauty. The black veil frames her face and brings out her dark, smiling, perfectly-lined almond eyes, making her a picture of mysterious beauty. But Qaddour doesn't date. When she's ready she will decide whom she wishes to marry, but until then her father acts as the middleman,
"I can pray anywhere, even on the second floor of Anschutz Library."
—Jomana Qaddour, Overland Park senior
taking inquiries from young Muslim men interested in his daughter. Qaddour says her dad will occasionally get excited about a prospective suitor, urging her to consider. "My father thinks
everyone's ready for marriage, especially me," she says as as she smiles and rolls her eyes lovingly, "But I'm just not ready yet."
Qaddour says Islam contains restrictions, but because she has chosen this religion, she willingly accepts them. She still does everything she enjoys. Muslims aren't allowed to drink alcohol, but she says she doesn't mind at all and finds other ways to have fun with her friends. She enjoys going to the movies and plays, shopping and jet skiing. While swimming and skiing, she wears a bathing suit, underneath her hijab and a lightweight shirt and pants. Qaddour laughs as she recounts a story about her sister and a friend falling off a jet ski and losing their veils in the process. When the lifeguards came out to retrieve them, all they cared about was getting some towels to cover their hair with. "It was a funny image," she says with a smile. "The first thing I saw when they came back to shore was bright green towels wrapped on their heads."
Odddour's prayer rituals are also an important part of her religion and the second of the five pillars of faith. Muslims are instructed to pray five times daily, at dawn, midday, afternoon, evening and night — according to the time of sunrise and sunset. According to Thomas Lippman, author of Understanding Islam, each part of the prayer ritual is marked by a change of position: standing, bending to put hands on the knees, kneeling with palms on the thighs and kneeling with the forehead on the floor. Qaddour explains that kneeling in prayer, for her, is an act of humility to God. She is devout in her obedience wto God through prayer, often taking breaks from class for a moment to pray in a hallway, unwilling to allow her schedule to compromise her duties as a Muslim." I can pray anywhere," she says, "even on the second floor of the Anschutz Library in a little place us Muslim students call 'the masjid' a arabic for a place of worship, or mosque in English — just because it's big enough to fit in a lot of us."

Pitt plans to adopt lolie's two children
SANTA MONICA, Calif. - A judge granted a request Thursday by Angelina Jolie to change the names of her two children to reflect that Brad Pitt intends to become their adoptive father.
"The court granted the name change," lawyer Evan Spiegel, who represents Jolie, told reporters outside court. He did not take questions.
Difficulty Level ★★★★
1/20
Neither Jolie nor Pitt, who costarred in the film "Mr. & Mrs. Smith," attended the hearing.
The names of the children will become Zahara Marley Jolie-Pitt and Maddox Chivan Jolie-Pitt. Zahara celebrated her first birthday on Jan. 8. Maddox, a boy, is 4.

Prayer isn't limited to these five daily rituals, she says. Throughout the day, Qaddour listens to the Quran and remains connected to God through prayer.She often prays to herself,saying "Allahu Akbar," or "God is greatest." According to Mack, Muslims use this phrase to express happiness, surprise, regret, thankfulness, fear or approval, reinforcing their belief that all things come from God.
The third pillar of faith is the zakah, or the mandatory donation to charity. According to Lippman, the most common practice is to donate 2.5 percent of the amount of cash an individual holds in savings or investments annually. Regardless of the amount, the obligation of zakah is consistent with the responsibility of a Muslim to do what he or she is able to help those less fortunate. Qaddour, for example, is a member of KU UNICEF. "Being a good Muslim isn't just about praying and reading the Quran," she says.
The fast during the month of Ramadan is the fourth pillar of faith. It began in early October in 2005, but because it is set according to the lunar calendar, Ramadan occurs on different dates every year. The Islamic holiday is an annual 28-day fast in celebration of the first Quranic verses that were revealed to Muhammad. During this time, from dusk until dawn Muslims are to go without eating, smoking, drinking and, for married couples, the pleasures of the flesh, such as sexual intercourse. Fasting, Qaddour says, is a way for Muslims to cleanse themselves spiritually as well as remain mindful and compassionate

towards the hungry.
At the end of Ramadan, Muslims celebrate a holiday known as Eid al-Fitr. Similar to the Christian and secular celebration of Christmas, Muslims enjoy gifts and specially prepared foods and sweets, as well as a special congregational Eid worship at the mosque, where Muslims join together for fellowship and prayer.
dured any major hateful treatment because of her religion. But because Syria has been accused of harboring terrorists, she feels the media portrays her home country negatively. She remembers the beautiful historic sites where she felt a connection with her Islamic ancestors. These memories, she says, inspire feelings of pride and loyalty, not hostility and terror."I will never be ashamed of where I'm from," Qaddour says.
The last pillar of faith is the hajj, or the pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia that all Muslims are obligated to make once in their lives. It is the one event that all Islamic sects participate in. The two major sects within Islam are the Shilite and the Sunni. Mack says they differ more geographically than in beliefs. The pilgrimage is used to teach Muslims that God is merciful and just to those who obey him, and also the importance of putting off worldly concerns to commune with God. Some countries even add the word hajj, or pilgrim, to a Muslim's name who has returned from Mecca. Quaddour hopes to visit this most holy city someday.
Although her roots will always be in Syria and she enjoys visiting, Qaddour feels more at home in the United States. She says that she is used to being a minority and is comfortable

with it. Because she wears the hijab daily, curious people ask her about Islam. If anything has changed for her since 9/11, she says, it's a stronger motivation to teach people about her faith. The more people know about Islam, she says, the less it will be connected with violence and terrorism. Muslim extremists have given Islam a bad name, she says, and the violence contradicts with the fundamentals of the religion.
Qaddour explains that Islam comes from the word "salaam," which is Arabic for peace. "That's what Islam brings me," she says, "peace that everything is in God's hands and there
is life after death." Through her and other devout Muslims' actions, she hopes to show Americans that Islam is a peaceful religion. Her veil, she says, is a personal choice. But it's a choice people notice. Covering is an opportunity to break the negative stereotypes and create positive associations with Islam. "Because everything I do," Qaddour says, "is in the name of Allah."
Jomana Qaddour, left, and Asmaa Albadawi, wear a traditional hijab every day. The veil helps to preserve their modesty, an important virtue for these Muslim women.

Those who do can teach more
After serving in the governor's office for the past year, Burdett Loomis, professor of political science, is returning to the University. His teaching ability, knowledge and happiness with his profession will be further enriched by his experiences, to the benefit of his future students.
Students need to have professors who have firsthand experience in their fields. The experience allows professors to teach for utility and not just theory. Loomis' sabbatical from teaching to practice what he preaches in the classroom will lend him even more respect than he commanded before, all because he's been doing what he teaches.
His knowledge of his field will be up to date and current and he will have developed
Loomis said in the Lawrence Journal-World that he was returning because he preferred the role of an academic. His students can take comfort knowing that he wants to be teaching, that he wants to work with them to make them the best in his field.

The University should do more to let faculty take breaks from teaching. The benefits such breaks provide definitely seem to be worth any inconvenience such respites might cause.

Unsafe parking should warrant more concern
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
I have a major problem with the parking at GSP/Corbin.
Two nights ago I was forced to park on a dark and dangerous street corner, Tenth and Ohio streets, behind the back lot of Corbin because the parking lot was full. There were no lights or blue phones around.
The next morning I found a ticket on my windshield for parking "on a public highway or street." Because of the lack of sufficient parking, I now owe $30 that I don't have. I do have a solution to the problem.
If students can bring cars to campus, the University of Kansas needs to be willing to accommodate the students who choose to do so.

It would create a safer place for the women of GSP/Corbin to park and allow them to walk safely back to their hall.

COMMENTARY
Kansas River deserves care from Lawrence residents
The Kansas River has made Kansas' list of impaired waters again. A body of water is deemed to be impaired when it fails to meet standards of cleanliness and general health approved by the Environmental Protection Agency. These standards are based, in part, upon the water's designated use*
Common uses include drinking water supply, wildlife preservation, primary and secondary contact recreation (e.g., swimming and boating) and agriculture.
The Kansas River supports all of these. In doing so, it is a part of the life of everyone in Lawrence. As such, it is the right and responsibility of every citizen — even those who only live here for part of the year — to enjoy and protect it.
The Clean Water Act is a major piece of legislation aimed at protecting the nation's waters.
Contaminants that threaten waterways are divided into two categories, based upon their respective origins. Point-source contaminants come from a single, identifiable point, such as a wastewater treatment plant. Non-point sources are generally the result of storm runoff.
Alison Reber, executive director of the Kaw Valley Heritage Alliance, a local non-
JEFF VINCENT
evinian@hancan.com
opinion@kansas.com profit organization that works to preserve and enrich the Kansas River Watershed, said the act had "allowed for incredible improvements in the quality of our waterways, but we still have a long haul ahead of us."
The act has been most effective at combating point-source contamination. Don Hamera, environmental protection specialist with the EPA, said "point source contaminants haven't been eliminated, but they have been dealt with to the extent that current technology allows."
Still, Kansas' impaired waters list consists of more than 1,600 segments of rivers, lakes and streams throughout the state. The primary cause of this is nonpoint source contamination.
The major difficulty in addressing non-point sources is the vastness of the problem. Non-point source pollution is washed into waterways from the entire area that drains to

them, or to their tributaries.
them, or to their tributaries. In order to deal with such a problem, relatively simple practices need to be implemented, and their success monitored, on a grand scale. This is where we come in.
"We know what needs to be done, it's just a matter of getting out there and doing it," Reber said.
This includes things like planting trees and grasses along waterways in order to slow erosion and to filter runoff before it enters the water, and monitoring waters in order to measure success and thereby encourage more action.
There are many opportunities to become involved through this type of volunteer work. These are organized through a grassroots approach, in the form of conservation districts in every county in the state, as well as organizations such as the KVHA.
These entities coordinate the many interested parties, as well as educate and appeal to local populations of private landholders who are generally encouraged to implement environmentally friendly land management techniques.
We, the student body, are in a unique position to carry knowledge and energy from the Lawrence community to our homes during breaks. We can encourage our local communities to act for the preservation and enrichment of the State's waterways, which naturally lends itself to the enrichment of the Kansas River.
Other than volunteering, we have the power to effect real change by living conscientiously every day.
"Pick up after your pet," said Hamera. "It's not glamorous, but it makes a difference."
Maintain your vehicle to avoid fluid loss. This stuff ends up in the river.
However we choose to do it, and whatever level of energy we commit to it, it is imperative that we all become aware of this problem and address it in some way.

Celebrities offer poor models
America has gone to the celebrities. We are obsessed. Hardly a day goes by when a hot new item of gossip about Brad and Angelina, or some other equally appealing celebrity, doesn't make headlines across the nation. I've even had conversations with people who say things like, I am more upset that Nick and Jessica broke up than I am that you and your old boyfriend split.
Nuria Rodriguez
It seems that it has become the social norm in this country to know every little detail about all the A-List celebrites' personal lives.
Of course they are interesting, but at the same time I must wonder why it has come to this, especially when normal people want their lives kept completely private. This is most likely due to how accessible everything is in this technologically advanced age.
The Internet has become a tool to purchase anything and everything, and eBay has become one large marketplace to buy items that have to do with celebrities. Yes, autographs can be purchased, but people are

actually buying more crazy items like T-shirts that are exactly like Brittney Spears wore, or even small pieces of a dress that she wore in a Pepsi commercial. I see no point in owning this stuff.
Print and broadcast media are also churning out information to the American public at a rapid rate. Without these outlets, no one would know who wore what outfit, what secret make-out session happened at a premier party and who dumped whom.
According to the Consumer Magazine Advertising Source, an advertising resource published by leading industry magazines, popular entertainment magazines such as US Weekly, Entertainment Weekly and National Enquirer sell
roughly 5 million copies through subscriptions and on the newsstands, on a weekly basis.
Shows like "The Fabulous Life Of," on VH1 and the "101 Countdown Entertainment Specials" series on E! Entertainment Television also give a rather intimate glance at all that is the celebrity glamour.
It seems like nothing in these celebrities' lives is kept from the general public. Not only the good stuff, the bad stuff is revealed too, which is another reason why it is hard to believe people leading normal lives emulate them.
Stars lead lives that are just as tough, if not tougher than the average person's life. Their drug abuse, eating disorders and tumultuous love lives are splashed everywhere.
In recent history, mega-stars like Lindsay Lohan and Whitney Houston have admitted to using drugs. In Female First, a women's lifestyle magazine from the United Kingdom, Kelly Osbourne blamed her drug abuse on fame. Lohan and Mary-Kate Olsen have
notoriously suffered from eating disorders.
I don't think I need to mention the quick flings, or long relationships that end in bitter divorces that plague Hollywood.
Average Americans, meaning non-celebrities, suffer from these problems too. Living life as a person not in the spotlight is tough to but, I do not understand why we witness these stars battling addictions and other problems yet still strive to mirror their lives.
We are young and experiencing quite possibly the best four, or five, years of our lives: College. So put down those gossip rags and stop trying to emulate celebrities.
Live your own life. Take the time spent here making memories, having fun, building relationships, making them work and living with what we have, instead of striving to be something that isn't all its cracked up to be.

Dan Wilson, Tom Greatorex,
Si McCabe
he three malnourished lads from Leeds, England in Black Wire have already found success across the pond with their self-titled debut album and legendary live show
(fellow Leeds export Kaiser Chiefs wrote"I Predict A Riot" about one of their gigs) but have yet to break into the American pop conscience. That will likely change this Valentine's Day when their new album, Where the Fuck Are Black Wire, a bass-heavy, post-punk spasm, is released stateside. Front man Dan Wilson took 15 minutes out of his busy day to talk about the utility of the drum machine and what America means for the band's future.
Q: You're doing a lot of press at the moment. Do you dislike that aspect of releasing an album?
A: No, not at all. It's still a new thing for me, so I think it's cool. Every journalist I talk to has a different opinion about our album; it's nice to hear what people think about it.
Q: You're doing a short tour of the States soon. Have you been to America before?
A: I was in New York City for three days not too long ago with Tom, our bass player. I loved it completely.
Q1: I know you've had a lot of success in the U.K., so what are your thoughts on coming to America?
A: I'd love to get over in America and it will be
interesting to see if that happens.I want to get through to as many people as I can; it doesn't matter where they live as long as they like the music.
Q: The band has an odd set-up for a three-piece: two guitars, a bass and a drum machine. Why don't you guys have a drummer?
A:That stems from the time when we were just starting the band. We didn't know anyone who could play the drums and we just happened to have a drum machine, and we've stuck with it since.
Q: How do people react to it? So few bands permanently employ a drum machine. A: Early on, most people at our shows were a bit taken aback by it.I think it kind of confused them that we had a drum machine but weren't playing electroclash. But it's not that big of a deal anymore.
Q: I heard that the Kaiser Chiefs were so inspired by one of your live shows they wrote a song about it ("I Predict A Riot"). Are you friends with those guys?
A: Well, they're from Leeds as well, so we know them. We try to see them when we're both in town. Leeds is a small place with a lot of bands, so you're always running into other musicians.
We definitely identify with that community - no two bands from there sound alike.

STUDENT HOUSING
Security jeopardized
BY RACHEL PARKER
rparker@kansan.com
KANSAN SKIP WRITEER
Students who applied for housing via the online application put out by the Department of Student Housing were alerted through either an e-mail or a letter that their private information might have been exposed.
"That information was given years ago; I didn't think I had to worry about it," she said.
A computer file with names, addresses, birth dates, phone numbers, social security numbers and credit card numbers was found accessible to the public on Dec. 16. The lack of security affected students who applied and paid an application fee online between April 29, 2001, and Dec. 16, 2005.
Becky Derdoski, Minneapolis, Minn., junior, applied online for residency in the 2003-2004 school year.
A similar incident occurred in April 2004 when the University disclosed that hackers might have tampered with records on a computer server of perscriptions at the Watkins Memorial Health Center's pharmacy. That case was reported to the FBI.
The housing department shut down its housing application Web site after a routine computer check showed that security measures were not working correctly.
"It is something that happens a lot at universities, unfortunately. We want to make sure we take care of every precaution, and make everyone fully aware." Cohen said.
While no evidence pertaining to unlawful use of student information has been discovered, the threat to students is still prevalent. The notification sent out to possibly affected students advised them to place fraud alert through wwwku.edu/identity or to call the housing department with any questions.
Out of about 9,200 online applicants in the past few years, only students that gave contact information were notified. Not all affected students still attend the University. Since Jan. 18, 154 phone calls and 52 e-mails have been received in response to the incident, according to Department of Student Housing records.
The Web site has been shut down and applications are now being taken manually until a new, secure site is up and working.

TECHNOLOGY
New design for KU Web site
BY ANNE WELTEM
aweltmer@kansan.com
KANSAN SHIFT WRITER
Designers premiered the new University of Kansas Web site on Tuesday with high expectations.
Todd Cohen, associate director of University Relations, said the University had three main goals for the new Web site: to incorporate the newly-adopted KU logo and identity; to look and feel easy to use; and to keep the same format for easy recognition of the University's Web site and its links.
Cohen said the new Web site offered a "current students" page with information catering to the needs and interests of students, something the old Web site didn't have at all.
The new site also has what he called "persistent navigation," which means each page has the same head and footer, the same links, and everything is located in the same place to make things easier to find.
"You won't click and look like you went somewhere else entirely," Cohen said.
Finally, Cohen said the new site included more pictures and facts about the University's history and its present to help prospective students, faculty and other visitors get a feel for Kansas.
Ian Horner, Mission Hills senior majoring in art history and painting, said his first impression of the new Web site was that it looked nicer. He said he thought it would improve the image of the school.
Horner said it had a "better design" and it was "cleaner, more professional."
Allison Rose Lopez, KU Public Relations and Marketing manager, said beside the cost of the actual logo design, phasing in KU's new image didn't cost anything extra. KU web communications department designed the Web site inhouse.
Cohen said the designers waited until the new logo came out to re-design the site.
The deadline for implementing the new design is the end of January for all of the departments at the University to redesign their own Web pages. As of now, it's still a work in progress.

Hottie toddies
Stayin' warm with hot winter beverages with a little something extra by Rory Flynn
01
It's freakin' freezing outside. Socializing with friends at a winter house party, you soon realize one thing: holding that frigid keg cup of Natty has only further chilled your tattered, winter-torn soul. Enter: one red-faced Cory Bates, tucking a large pot under one arm and wielding a soup ladie in the other. Like a shivering mad scientist, he flips on the stove and starts pouring bottles of hard alcohol and apple cider, stopping only to taste its readiness.
Bates, St. Louis senior, says making spiked apple cider is very simple."I have only made a couple batches but so far the cider has been quite a success at winter parties," Bates says. Bates uses only three ingredients: apple cider, cinnamon, and Southern Comfort. He prefers using more expensive brands of apple cider rather than the cheaper brands because the cheaper ones taste too sweet.
Spiked apple cider is just one hot alcoholic beverage that you can order around town or brew yourself to warm up during these long winter
months.
The Bourgeois Pig, by $9^{th}$ and Massachusetts Streets, has several hot alcoholic drinks on its menu. The small, cozy bar doubles as a coffee shop. The menu offers an array of "corrected" warm drinks. The menu includes traditional hot alcoholic beverages like Irish Coffee and Spiked Cider as well as elaborate drinks, like the Venetian Latte — an Amaretto, Korbel brandy, espresso and steamed milk mix. The "corrected" beverages start at $4.50, but if your wallet allows, try the $8.50 Millionaire's coffee, made with Kahlua, Bailey's, Grand Marnier, Frangelico, coffee and whipped cream. Bartender Jamie Zoeller says he serves many of the drinks during winter.
The more popular of these warm alcoholic drinks generally include coffee, tea or hot chocolate; other tasty creations include mulled wine, hot toddies and mead.
What do you mean, mead?
Mead is a beverage created
from fermented honey and water that predates both wine and beer, according to www.aboutmead.com. Also called honey wine, it can be mulled with spices similar to warm apple cider and has a reputation as an aphrodiaci.. To test the love potion out for yourself, visit the Replay Lounge at $10^{th}$ and Massachusetts Streets, where mead is served on the heated back patio throughout the winter. The Replay Lounge also serves Hot Melted Andes drinks (consisting of hot chocolate and Rumplemintz Liqueur) and hot toddies. Replay Lounge bartender Amanda Meyers recommends a hot toddy, a whiskey-butter-cinnamon combo, for a sore throat.
Puttin' the pot on
Making these hot drinks can be quite easy. According to www. barnonedrinks.com, the liquor should be heated separately before the other drinks. Never heat liquor to a boiling point or the alcohol will boil out of it.

ATHLETICS DEPARTMENT
Jayhawks raise bar
BY ERIC JORGENSEN
ejorgensen@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The cover of the University of Kansas Athletics Department five-year strategic plan features a pristine Kansas sky. That sky is what the department is aiming for with its recently released plan to make Kansas the nation's premier athletics institution.
"We want this athletic department to be one other athletic departments strive to be like," said Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director. "That goes from teams to quality of coaches to money raised and quality of facilities."
The department released its strategic plan last week in a 23-page booklet named "Unparalleled Excellence." The plan covers everything from facility construction and renovation to increased strength of schedules to improved halftime shows.
The goals of the plan started coming to life last year, including the new video boards at Memorial Stadium and Allen Field-
house. A few of the noteworthy goals in the plan are:
Increase football revenue
The department's goal is to increase football revenue 10 percent each year for the next five years.
"The first goal is to increase season ticket holders," Marchiony said. "The second is to sell more game-day tickets."
Marchiony said the key would be more winning football seasons and successful marketing.
Strengthen ability to maintain and recruit coaches of "high value"
The department recognizes the importance of keeping its coaches when other programs come knocking, Marchiony said. The plan stated that the department wanted to create an environment that would draw coaching prospects and retain current coaches.
"It's what needs to be done to keep the coach," Marchiony said. "It's a combination of providing a good package with an atmosphere that would make someone not want to leave."
Increase number of female coaches and staff.
In the past three years, tennis, women's golf and women's basketball all hired female head coaches. The department wants to continue monitoring potential female coaches and personnel for future positions, according to the plan.
Kansas women's tennis coach Amy Hall-Holt is in her third season as head coach and her eighth season at the University. Hall-Holl said there were plenty of opportunities for female coaches in the department and that she had received good treatment.
"I've been treated with nothing but open arms," Hall-Holt said.
Increase fundraising goal
The department hopes to increase its donations and fundraising income by 10 percent each year for five years.
Kirtland said the Williams Fund, an athletics scholarship fund, used techniques such as increasing the amount of money required to obtain game tickets
to encourage more donations.
The department's goal to add and upgrade facilities will not include a new basketball arena.
Allen Fieldhouse received upgrades last summer and will continue to be home to basketball for years to come, according to outlines of the plan.
"Allen Fieldhouse is an important part of the University and Lawrence's history," Marchiony said. "That was not even part of the thought process."
Marchiony said there would be no new arena in the next 10 years.
The department is convinced its goals are within reach. Marchiony said the strategic-plan is a challenge. However, he said the purpose was to make the University more appealing for student-athletes and the students, and the department would work hard to make these goals reality.

Tough schedule pays off for KU
BY ALISSA BAUER
abauer@kansu.com
KANASAN STAFF WRITER
This spring's preseason Ratings Percentage Index (RPI) rankings, posted last month on SEbaseball com, lists the Jawahars at No. 26. Primarily based on each team's overall intended strength of schedule, that No. 26 spot is 74 spots higher than Kansas began last season.
The Jayhawks have taken another step in the right direction to reach the NCAA tournament by scheduling tougher teams to play.
"The hard part is that we have to play now. It's one thing to have those kinds of expectations. It's another thing to play up to that level."
Winning games in what SEbaseball.com calls a "power conference" like the Big 12, automatically gives the team a postseason look. Tack on the weight of their non-conference schedule and, if Kansas can record its fourth consecutive 30-win season, it will be nearly impossible to deny the trip to Price's team.
"Obviously it's exciting to pick up a Baseball America and see that they're projecting us to be in the field." Coach Ritch Price said.
Price said he was pleased with his team's work ethic. He added that his team could secure a comfortable top 20 RPI spot by winning a few games and series here and there against top opponents going into the Big 12 season.
"We've made significant steps in the last three years and have experienced players back," Price said. "When I did the schedule. I wanted to make sure that there was absolutely no way that we got left out of the tourney if our kids went out and elevated our play one more notch this spring."
To prepare, the Jayhawks started work on Saturday, practicing five times a day in the week leading up to the spring semester.
The Jayhawks will play their first 15 games away from home, and only stop in Lawrence long enough to play four games before another 10 name road stint.
"The key with this team, with all due respect to our freshman, but we're a veteran team," Baty said. "We have a lot of experience. It's time to make a stand for Kansas baseball this year."
Baty, one of the three team captains, showed similar confidence in the season ahead.

▼ WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
OKLAHOMA STATE VS. KANSAS 1 P.M. SUNDAY AT ALLEN FIELDHOUSE
KU
Kansas Javhawks (12-3, 1-3 Big 12)
Player to watch:
Freshman guard Ivana Catic has turned heads with her spectacular play on the offensive side of the ball, but has struggled against Big 12 Conference competition on defense. In the same way that the Jayhawks can count on Catic to make a big pass, they need her to make stops on the other end of the court.
Kay to victory:
Opponents have defeated Kansas with zone defenses that keep the ball from getting inside to senior forward Crystal Kemp. When the Cowgirls start to move defenders closer to the basket, the Jayhawks' three-point duo of senior guards Erica Hallman and Kaylee Brown will be called on to hit some big shots. Season in review.
Entering the season, the Jay
hawks just wanted to play somewhere in March. After a 12-0 start, the Jayhawks started to get national attention, including a spot on ESPN's Bracketology. A three-game losing streak has brought fans back to earth, but winning Sunday would put the Big Dance back into play.
Previous Meeting:
After a huge February victory against Missouri in 2005, Kansas failed to build momentum, losing to Oklahoma State 57-54 in Stillwater, Okla.
The 'Hawks led most of the game, but surrendered the lead with four minutes to play. The team's record dropped to 10-11. Kansas did not reach .500 for the remainder of the season.

WOLVERGREEN
SAIGO
Oklahoma State Cowgirls (6-10, 0-5 Big 12)
Player to watch:
Junior center Whitney Pegram enters the game as the team's leading scorer, averaging 17 points and 5.6 rebounds a game. Pegram is a force on the defensive end. She ranks sixth in the nation in blocked shots. Key to victory:
Pegram could present a defensive problem, matched up against Kansas senior forward Crystal Kemp. If Pegram can hold Kemp under her season average of 19.5 points per game, the Cowgirls could pull out a victory. The key for Oklahoma State will be to shut down Kemp and force Kansas' streaky shooting guards to make shots.
Season in review:
The Cowgirls come to Lawrence under new coach Kurt Budke on a five-game losing streak. The only games Oklahoma State has won this season have come at home against the likes of Arkansas-Pine Bluff and Texas Â&M-Commerce. Playing away from Gallagher-IBal Arena hasn't been as kind. The team has dropped 23 consecutive road games dating back to the 2003 season.
Previous meeting:
Previous meeting:
The Cowgirls won only their second and final conference game last season against the Jayhawks. They won 57-54 in Stillwater, Okla. A 15-3 Oklahoma State run early in the second half sealed the victory against a cold-shooting Kansas team. Junior center Christian Hood, the Cowgirls' only returning starter, scored 12 points and pulled down seven rebounds. The victory was Oklahoma State's last conference victory.

Hope remains for young team
I went out to the movies Wednesday night and of course I saw the one sports movie that's currently playing — "Glory Road."
The University of Kansas was well-represented in the film. One of the longest scenes in the movie was of the Final Four game between Kansas and Texas Western in which Texas Western prevailed.
I personally loved the film, which is ranked the number one movie at the box office, according to imdb.com. It was no "Hoosiers," but it was a well-done sports movie that told the story of the national champion 1966 Texas Western Miners.
Aside from sending the message to treat all athletes equally, regardless of race, the movie effectively represented the history and pride of Kansas basketball, especially in 1966.
One thing I have learned from being a student at Kansas for
TIM HALL

the past three years is that the Jayhawks have passionate fans who will stay behind the team no matter what. But like all schools, there are always critical fans who get overly upset after two straight losses. If you want proof, just check out today's edition of the "Free for All."
But this season should come as no surprise.
This season, the basketball team is 10-6. It has lost two in a row. However, I like to think the team has won seven of its last nine.
Inconsistencies will naturally creep up on a team that starts
But you can bet the young Jayhawks will protect their home court and not let a three-game losing streak occur. Even though they are young, they are capable of realizing the importance of tomorrow's game.
The Jayhawks will face one of the better Cornhusker teams in the past decade tomorrow. Coach Barry Collier has his team and his fans energetic and ready to play at 12-4. Fans rushed the court after a home victory against Oklahoma. Nebraska also won on the road at Kansas State.
Before you get quick to jump on Kansas coach Bill Self for losing to Kansas State for the first time in 12 years or senior forward Christian Moody for missing two free throws, just realize that we all have the oppor-
two freshmen and two sophomores. Let's not forget the Jayhawks have the entire Big 12 schedule in front of them.
After I saw Glory Road I thought of how we are able to enjoy college basketball for what it is. We don't have to deal with the hate and the racism that Texas Western endured. Haskins paved the way for the advancement of NCAA basketball to make it what it is today—a sport in which the best players can play regardless of their race.
We've come a long way since 1966 even here at Kansas. Four of five KU starters are African American. So instead of being critical of a young team, let's all just be grateful to be a part of this rich history. Let's go out there and play Kansas basketball.
unity to be a part of the third winningest program in Divison I basketball history. We have the privilege to bring in the most talented players in the country year after year.

REVIEWS
Brokeback Mountain
MOVIE
The understated and mournful film, *Brokeback Mountain* based on Annie Proulx's short story, tells the story of a love between two cowboys that survived but could never flourish, due to prejudices, inner fears and society. Heath Ledger plays Ennis Del Mar, a withdrawn man who speaks in a baritone ruff mumble Jake Glyenhaal playing Jake Twist, a loquacious young dreamer. Both actors give outstanding and mature performances. While herding sheep together one summer, the men pass the time by talking about their pasts, goals and girlfriends while falling in love. After their first intimate encounter, both Jack and Ennis firmly say they are straight but soon find themselves in each other's arms. Their watchful and gruff owner abruptly halts their summer job and with it their burgeoning
relationship. Once down from Brokeback Mountain, Ennis and Jack go their separate ways, marry their sweethearts and raise families but nevertheless still long for each other.The effects of their love affair have tortuous and ruinous effects, causing each marriage to slowly unravel. The film's real heartbreak is told through the eyes
of Ennis's quiet but suspecting wife,
Elma. Michelle Williams gives a gut wrenching performance as a lonely and deserted wife who knows she isn't wanted.
Heath Ledger gives a superb performance in his transformation into Ennis. His gruff speech, lazy strut and wrinkled pained eyes describe a man
afraid of his own passion, who ultimately suffers under his own fears. Jake Gyllenhaal brings out his character'sdisappointment and frustration seamlessly. The scenery is stunning and vast, a perfect backdrop to such emotional turmoil. Brokeback Mountain's two biggest flaws are its sluggish pace and under-development of Ennis and
Jack's relationship, in the beginning. This emotional film depicts a love whose secrecy haunts and nearly suffocates all participants. But mostly, it displays the agony and ecstasy created in the silence of unspoken words.

Prince of Persia:
GAMES
The Two Thrones
Once again, the Prince of Persia has returned for another great game. Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones has brought back the mechanics that made the first two in the trilogy so great. Creators brought back the puzzle mechanics
PRINCE OF PERSIA
THE TWOTH ROWS
from Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time and have kept the Free Form Combat System of Prince of Persia: Warrior Witin.
Also, the addition of the Dark Prince character makes the game more interesting. In essence, it makes the Free Form Combat better for handling mobs. However, with his always-depleting life, it makes platforming more difficult. Players don't have time to look over the landscape and get a feel of where they want to go. it's like being chased by
the Dahaka while knowing instant death is near you if you don't keep moving. The Dark Prince adds to the feel of the game. His constant hassling of. the Princeof Persia adds colorful commentary to the Prince's trials and tribulations.
With the addition of the Speed Kill system, it gives players another choice of how to play the game. They can utilize the Speed Kill system to dispense enemies quickly, giving tactful advantages, or they can choose to ignore and engage in Free Form
combat. Players have more freedom to choose how they want to play the game.
The Two Thrones combines the mechanics that made the first two games popular, making it a terrific ending to the Sands of Time Trilogy. It is a must-have for both fans of the series and platform gaming fans.

MUSIC
THE STROKES First Impressions of Earth
Once you think that you finally got the catchy hooks, groovin' guitars, and toe tapping beats of The Strokes' last album, Room on Fire, out of your head; there are fourteen more tunes to get stuck in there long after you get out of your car or turn off you ipod. The Strokes' latest release, First Impressions of Earth, maintains the velvety smooth, uber-cool sound that characterized their last two albums, but this time they seem to have acquired a bit of a harder edge.
With their first single, "Juicebox," it becomes obvious that this is a grittier album. It still has their identifiable style, but it's often louder and faster. However, all the songs don't necessarily follow
in this mood. The album does some exploring as the band meanders between synth-string medleys ("Ask, Me, Anything"), guitar intros that are reminiscent of joy Division ("Killing Lies"), and even a less raspy Tom Walks style drunken slurring ("15 Minutes"). For each song still retains the sexy old school classic rock stylings that are The Stokes.

KANSAN SPORTSWITTER
Evan Kafarakis
It's been a rollercoaster ride for the Kansas men's basketball team this season, with a number of key victories and losses coming both at home and on the road. Below is a list of the best and worst of the action that took place during winter break.
THE BEST:
1. Kansas 73, Kentucky 46
Jan. 7.2006
After the team's early-season struggles in the EA Sports Maui Invitational followed by losses against St. Joseph's and Nevada, it was clear that Kansas was ready to show that it was once again one of the elite teams in the country. Kansas came out of the gate running and never looked back, building a double-digit lead in the game's opening minutes. The team never let the lead go. Freshman Brandon Rush led the way, scoring a career-high 24 points and grabbing 12 rebounds.
2. Kansas 69, California 56
Dec.10.2005
Dec.10,2005
Kansas played its annual game in Kansas City, Mo., desperately seeking a victory after falling to St. Joseph's earlier in the week. It appeared to be more of the same struggles when the game started, with Kansas falling behind early. Senior Stephen Vinson gave the Jayhawks a surprise spark, however, and logged a career-high 25 minutes. His defensive effort and effective ball handling helped Kansas move to 4-4.
Rachel Sevmour/KANSAN
3. Kansas 75, Colorado 63
There was no letdown following the team's big victory against Kentucky, playing on the road for the first time of the season in Boulder. While the Kansas guards
Jan. 11,2006
struggled early, the play of senior Christian Moody and sophomore Darnell Jackson kept the Jayhawks in the game in the first half. Moody scored a career-high 18 points in the game and Brandon Rush added 17 points, all in the second half, to help Kansas win its conference opener.
4. Kansas 85, Northern Colorado 62
WRIST 34
Dec, 22, 2005
In his return from a nine-game suspension, Darnell Jackson poured in a career-high 12 points and helped the Jayhawks move past Northern Colorado. Kansas jumped out to a big lead early and never looked back in a crisp game played by the Jayhawks, hoping to build confidence after losing numerous close games early in the season.
5. Kansas 63, Pepperdine 43
Dec. 19.2005
— Antonio Mendoza
Kansas came out of the gate quickly in this post-finals contest, scoring 25 points in the first nine minutes of the game, but then the offense became non-existent. The team shot poorly and was unable to get into a consistent offensive rhythm. The final score had more to do with the lesser opponent than it did with dominant play by Kansas.
Coming into the first game of the new year, it was safe to say that the Jayhawks were looking ahead on the schedule rather than to that night's contest. It showed early, with Yale taking the lead with just three minutes remaining in the first half. From that point on, however, Kansas dominated and appeared ready to face Kentucky.
Jan. 4. 2006
6. Kansas 87, Yale 46
Christian Moody, senior forward, holds onto the ball for the Jayhawks during the first half of the game against Kansas State last Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse. The Jayhawks led 26-18 at halftime but fell to the Wildcats 59-55.
7. Kansas 73. New Orleans
56
Kansas appeared to take the opponent lightly in the opening 18 minutes, leading by just
Dec, 29, 2005
4 points with halftime approaching. The Jayhawks charged into halftime, however, and took a 15-point lead. Kansas continued its improved play in the second half, thanks to the play of freshman guard Mario Chalmers, who came off the bench and scored 8 points and dished out 5 assists.
1. Kansas State 59, Kansas
55
THE WORST:
jan. 14, 2006
Coming into the Big 12 home opener, the Jayhawks had reeled off seven straight victories, but that streak was not as important as the 31-game winning streak against their in-state rival. Kansas appeared to control Kansas State for the first 30 minutes of the game and opened up a 12-point lead with less than 10 minutes to go. The Wildcats then switched to a 2-3 zone and
Jan. 14,2006
Kansas lost all offensive rhythm. The loss ended the fourth-longest winning streak against a single opponent in the country.
2. Missouri 89, Kansas 86 (OT)
Jan. 16, 2006
It was unclear how the Jayhawks would react to losing a rivalry game and then turning around to play another. It was a back-and-forth game early, with the Tigers taking the halftime lead. Kansas came out energized in the second half, building a 9 point lead and leading by 7 with less than 40 seconds remaining. Kansas then missed five free-throws, including two by Christian Moody with 0.4 seconds remaining that would have won the game. Instead, the contest went into overtime and the Jayhawks fell in heartbreaking fashion.

Match Point
REVIEWS
MOVIE
PENGUIN STREET
In tennis when the ball hits the net there is a moment in which it could go either way. Luck determines who comes out victorious. The same can be said for moments in life and it is this preoccupation with luck that concerns Match Point. Woody Allen's latest is, thankfully, (ahem, Anything Else) not your average Woody Allen film.
Chris (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) is a former tennis pro now reduced to giving the British elite tennis lessons. One day he meets Tom (Matthew Goode) who instantly takes him in, and introduces him to his upper crust family including his beautiful, yet fragile, sister, Chloe (Emily Mortimer). Chris immediately latches on to the wealthy lifestyle afforded to him by his attachment to Chloe. Enter Nola (Scarlett Johansson), Tom's fiancée and a little bundle of seduction. Chris and Nola quickly engage a lurid affair and soon Chris must choose between his life of comfort and a life of passion.
Allen blends the genres of romance, comedy and erotic thriller
beautifully. Match Point is intense when you least expect it and you find your mind boggled that the man behind The Curse of the Jade Scorpion could possibly have directed it, let alone written it. The cynicism on display makes for an uncomfortable experience that feels almost illicit. These characters are not good people, yet we are on their side. Allen's ability

THEATRE
A RAISIN IN THE SUN
The Kansas City Repertory Theater's production of Lorraine Hansberry's play A Raisin in the Sun opened Friday night to a packed auditorium. Directed by Lou Bellamy, the production of the 1950's play about dreams and hardship among the member's of a black family in the south side of Chicago did not disappoint. The sets and the costumes were particularly noteworthy in their affect of realism.
The cast was proficient with Franchelle Stewart Dorn blazing the trail as Lena Younger. Dorn's ability to carry her character through the ups and downs of the story enthralled the audience, bringing both laughter and reverent silence at the appropriate times.
Shana Williams and David Alan Anderson both gave passable performances as Ruth and Walter Lee Younger. They played the emotion of the story rather well but sometimes coherence was sacrificed for shouting. Bakesta King was an entertaining Beneatha Younger, gamling the play with wonderful mood swings and excellent stem looks. Rasson Wofford's young Travis, Adeoye's Asagai, Kyle Haden's George Murchison, Larry Paulsen's Karl Linder, and Damron Armstrong's Bobo also lent highlight to the show.
Full of feeling, comedy, importance and the lessons of life's dreams and realities; KCRT's performance fills a Kansas City evening perfectly. The show is well worth the price of admission and almost worth the drive to the University of Missouri's Kansas City campus.

Fort Worth Bowl victory helps morale and recruiting
FOOTBALL
BY DREW DAVISON

KANSAN SPORTSWRITER
Kansas may have secured a recruiting foothold in the state by defeating a Texas team in Fort Worth. The bowl victory could also pay dividends for Kansas in the long run with a boost in team confidence.
Nearly two months before the bowl game, after Colorado beat Kansas 44-13 in Boulder, few pictured the Jayhawks making a postseason appearance. Questions arose about the coaching staff. But following that loss in Boulder, the fourth of the team's conference schedule, senior quarterback Jason Swanson's improved play sparked KU's resurgence.
Kansas finished the season on a roll, winning four of its last five games, losing only to eventual national champion, Texas, in Austin.
Freshman cornerback Aqib Talib showed the potential to be a top defensive back in the Big 12 by replacing junior Charles Gordon in several defensive sets. Junior running back Jon Cornish stepped up and became the home run hitter the team seemed to lose before the season when junior John Randle was dismissed from the team. Players such as
The game marked the first bowl victory in two chances for Kansas coach Mark Mangino and the first for the program since 1995. Even after beating Missouri for the third straight time and snapping a 36-game losing streak to Nebraska, questions still arose about Mangino.
With the impressive bowl victory, the football program seems to be on the rise in Lawrence.
freshman Mike Rivera, junior Eric Washington and freshman Brandon Duncan filled the gaps on special teams and will have the opportunity to replace outgoing seniors Nick Reid, Charlton Keith and Kevin Kane.
If the Jayhawks are able to carry their momentum from the bowl game into next season, they may be in the mix for the Big 12 North title. Kansas will also have the advantage of a Big 12 schedule, including 2005 cellar dwellers Oklahoma State, Texas A&M, and Baylor rather than bowl teams Texas, Oklahoma, and Texas Tech.

The Cardigans MUSIC Super Extra Gravity
You might remember The Cardigans, the friendly Swedish pop band, from their 1997 hit, "Lovefool", which made them stars thanks to the Romeo and Juliet soundtrack. Back then, The Cardigans stuck to writing cute dance songs, but since then they've grown up and made some great albums, most of which have been ignored by music fans.
In 1998, Gran Turismo saw them writing more serious songs with heavy electronic experimentation and yielded the hit "My Favourite Game". After a long break, they returned with their most serious album to date, 2004's Long Gone Before Daylight.
Their most recent effort, Super Extra Gravity, sees them finding middle ground. They manage to write serious songs while still having some fun — evident on such tracks as the first single, "I Need Some Fine Wine and You, You Need To Be Nicer" (four words behind the longest song title ever, Brand New's "Good To Know That If I Ever Need Attention All I Have To Do Is
Die").
Nina Persson's vocals shine on such tracks as the jazzy "Overload" and the emotional "Holy Love." Another favorite is "In The Round"; a laid back mid-tempo
song with subtle piano by Lasse Johansson that helps to give it that late night feel. It's an album full of catchy tracks and memorable melodies.
With Super Extra Gravity,
The Cardigans manage to make a pop album that, unlike most other pop albums, you won't be embarrassed to buy and won't find it in the $1 bin next to Hanson's Middle Of Nowhere.
Unfortunatelylythisalbum hasn't been released in the United States, yet. You can find import copies of it through online stores such
as www.bestbuy.com or www.amazon.com.

FISHING FOR HOPE
by Chris Raine
by Chris Raine
The story of a man's doomed fish giving him the courage to swim on.
T
he winter had been rough. In late January, my girlfriend of five years broke up with me
for the guy she'd been dating since early January. In February, my car broke down twice; the repairs cost me more than $600. In March, my grandfather suffered a fatal stroke, leaving my grandmother to fend for herself in the Minnesota hinterland. The weather was cold, the days were short, and the nights were lonely. But I did not despair. I still had my aquarium.
The 38-gallon glass-and-plastic beauty occupied the southwest corner of my spacious three bedroom apartment. Largely ignored by my roommates, it was my baby, and over the past three years I had cultivated a thriving underwater ecosystem with no fewer than five different species of fish. There were three mature Silver Dollars, two very large Red Barbs
known as the Barb Brothers,
Sharky (an iridescent shark),
Ropey (a ropefish) and Marcus
the Plecatamus.
Loneliness never lasted long while gazing lovingly into my living room water world. My fish would dance, play, eat food right out of my fingertips. So long as my fish lived, my hope refused to die.
Alas — like my girlfriend, my grandfather and my car's carburetor — the fish were not long for this world.
Sometime in the early afternoon of April 5,2005,while I was in the shower rinsing away the last vestiges of a wicked hangover, a leak sprung near the base of the aquatic habitat. Exiting the shower, I glanced over at the one thing left that brought light and joy to my life and noticed that the plastic plants inside were drooping mightily. Upon closer inspection, I saw that there was an inch of water left inside the tank, and the fish were
splashing about, confused,
frightened. Shrieking in horror
and still wrapped only in a
towel, I quickly dumped out the
refuse in the trash can across
the kitchen floor, put a new
bag inside, and began filling
the impromptu fish refuge with
lukewarm water.
I managed to fill the trash can half way, treated the water with a conditioner to create a suitable environment for the survivors, and grabbed my trust net, usually reserved for fishing out the decaying bodies of those deemed unsuitable for the tank by Marcus the Plecostamus. First were the three Silver Dollars, who suffered worst in the 1 inch of water because of their 3 inch height. I next netted the Barb Brothers, who were rather calm and reserved about the situation, and then Marcus the Plecostamus as well as Sharky, who required the removal of most of the remaining
Minutes passed.
aquarium ornaments due to their size/quickness. Capturing Ropey proved to be most difficult due to the now browned water dirtied by years of filth, gathering within the gravel.
I then realized that this was the last time I'd see my friends. For three years they'd lived with me, afforded me company and comfort, provided a daily renewal of hope that beautiful things could, in fact, survive and thrive despite this harsh, cruel world. Tomorrow I would wake up alone. I would have only myself to feed in the evening. I would have only my light to turn off at night.
Tear in eye, I loaded the friend-filled trash container into my car and headed off to Pet World to donate my fish. "They're so big," remarked the kind, sorrowful woman at the store. "They sure are," I replied. "The biggest and best fish I've ever known. Make sure they find a good home." I shed one
perfect tear. It fell solemnly into their makeshift refuge, a final gift for my dearest friends.
The fish left me a final gift as well: a moist, glistening example of triumph in the face of adversity. During the aquarium leak debacle, as deadly air began to fill their gills, my fish did not give in to despair — as fish are wont to do). They fought, flopped around and survived against impossible odds. The last image I have of my brave little friends is not one of joyful swimming amongst the brightly colored artificial aquarium plants, nor of the Barb Brothers eagerly eating brine shrimp pellets out of my trembling fingers. It is that of Marcus the Plecostamus, the virtuous chieftain of the school, looking up at me out of that kitchen wastebasket and saying "Thank you, kind master. Because of you we have lived."
"Now, so must you."

Drew Davison
Defensive coordinator heads to Wisconsin
Dave Doeren, co-defensive coordinator for the Kansas football team, accepted a job at Wisconsin as co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach.
Doeren has been on the Kansas staff since 2002. He coached the linebackers and served as recruiting coordinator before he was promoted last summer to co-defensive coordinator.
Doeren helped build a defense that ranked first in the Big 12 Conference and third nationally against the run. He also coached senior linebacker Nick Reid, who won the 2005 Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year.
Senior linebackers Banks Floodman, Kevin Kane and Brandon Perkins all earned honorable mention All-Big 12 this season as well.
"Dave has done an outstanding job on our coaching staff," Kansas coach Mark Mangino said. He worked hard towards our success both on the field and in recruiting."
Doeren joins first-year Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema, who will replace former Wisconsin coach Barry Alvarez.

Blaney replaces Dave Doeren as recruitment coordinator. Doeren became an

Vaccines found ineffective against flu virus

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
WHAT DO YOU HAVE?
Flu medications are in short supply at Watkins Memorial Health Center after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found two common antiviral medications ineffective against the virus.
Signs and Symptoms Cold Flu
Fever, chills Low fever, if any Usual, can be high
Headache Rare Usual
Aches and pains Mild, if any Often severe
Patigue, weakness Mild, if any Often severe
Runny, stuffy nose Common Sometimes
Sneezing Usual Sometimes
Sore throat Common Sometimes
Cough Hacking cough Can become severe

The CDC announced in a Jan. 14 health alert that the drugs amantadine and rimantadine are ineffective against 91 percent of this year's influenza strains. Last year, only 11 percent of tested samples were resistant, which increased from 5 percent in 2004.
"It's morbidity increased over the last three years," said Patricia Denning, chief of staff at Watkins Memorial Health Center.
The CDC recommended os-
Watkins still has some flu shots, and the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department, located at 200 S. Maine St., has 52 vaccine shots remaining. Because of the threat of a flu outbreak, students in the Watkins waiting area may be asked to wear a mask to prevent spreading the disease.
eltamivir, commonly known as Tamiflu, and zanamivir, also known as Relenza, as effective antivirals. At Watkins, priority for the drugs will be given to high-risk patients with extenuating circumstances, Denning said. For a healthy person, Tamiflu, even if taken within 48 hours of the disease's onset, would only shorten the illness by one day.
Cathy Thrasher, chief pharmacist at Watkins, said that over-the-counter treatment would depend on the particular symptoms a patient experienced
Because Watkins no longer gives out doctors' notes for short-term illnesses, Denning said students should contact their professors directly regarding absences.
"Every student's going to be different on what symptoms affect them and how severe they are," Thrasher said.

The best thing students can do is prevent contracting the illness, Denning said. A healthy lifestyle, including three balanced meals, lots of fluids, adequate sleep and exercise, contributes to the body's ability to fight the flu. Many people are reluctant to get a flu shot, but it's one of the best prevention methods, Denning said.
The "Cover Your Cough" campaign, sponsored by the CDC, encourages students in bathrooms and hallways across campus to contain germs by not coughing into their hands or the air. Dening said prompt disposal of used tissues and frequent hand washing add to the process of containing germs.
"Stop and think about your lecture halls," Denning said. "You're sitting shoulder to shoulder with people."

Going to the dark side

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
When John Armel, Lenexa senior, drives his black 1997 Toyota Camry through the streets of Lawrence, he feels almost invisible. And with the jet-black tint that covers all of his windows, he pretty much is invisible to the other drivers on the road.
While Armel's windows provide his ride with privacy, solar protection and a certain visual appeal, they also are illegal in the state of Kansas.
Armel decided to have his windows tinted at a local shop last year to block sun rays and provide privacy while he drives.
"If I'm in a car that does not have tinted windows I feel weird, like everyone is looking at me." Armel said.
A Kansas statute states that no vehicle can have a window tint of less than 35 percent. A
Popular car embellishment illegal in state of Kansas
window with 35 percent tint has the ability to block 65 percent of visible light.
Armel's driver's and passenger's side windows are covered with 20 percent tint, while the back and rear windows are covered with 5 percent tint. That means 80 percent of light is blocked in the front side windows and 95 percent is blocked in the back.
"About two-thirds of everyone that comes in asks for a tint that is darker then 35 percent," he said.
Tom Patel, owner of University Audio, 2319 Louisiana St., has provided window-tinting services for 22 years. While Patel said he and his employees abided by state laws, most of the customers who came in wanted an illegal tint.
Window tint laws differ from state to state. The driver is subject to the laws of the state the vehi-
Armel said he was much more worried about getting a speeding ticket than receiving a citation for his illegal windows.
While the Lawrence Police Department and police across the state have the ability to check the percentage of tint in windows, that has not stopped drivers like Armel from illegally tinting their windows.
"I've been pulled over three times since I've got my windows tinted, and each time the officer never mentioned anything about it," he said.
Lawrence police use a meter that, when held to a window, measures the percent of tint, Ward said.

STUDENT HOUSING
Renovations on track
BY RACHEL PARKER
rparker@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
"We got that bad month and it made us a little nervous for awhile," said Ken Stoner, director of the Department of Student Housing, referring to inclement winter weather late last semester.
Hashinger Hall renovations are right on schedule for the resident hall to open in the fall. Mild winter conditions have kept the construction workers on track.
The renovations, which started in May, will not exceed the estimated project cost of $12.6 million.The new building will accommodate about 360 students during the next school year.
An exclusive look into the construction site showed major changes for students coming in during the next school year, with the hall still focusing on theater and art.
The theater on the third floor will be wider, with higher ceilings and storage areas to store props and supplies for performances. New dining accommodations will also be on this floor for residents to grab a quick snack or chat over coffee. A deck will also be built out back for those wanting to lounge and eat.
Other additions will include sinks in every student's room and insulated windows and walls to decrease energy consumption as well as lower natural gas expenses. Stoner said.

Winter break brings historical triumph to women's team
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER

KANSAN STAFF WRITERS
The Kansas women's basketball team made history during winter break. The Jayhawks were 12-0, the best start in KU women's basketball history. Below is a list in order of the best and worst action that took place during break.
BEST:
1. Kansas 70, Texas 61
Jan. 3, 2006
Kansas knocked off its first ranked team since the 2001 season when it defeated No. 23 Texas at Allen Fieldhouse. Kansas led for nearly the entire game and snapped a six-game losing streak to Texas.
Dec.30.2005
2. Kansas 75, LaSalle 72
Dec. 30, 2003 The Jayhawks defeated all their non-conference opponents for the first time in school history, but not without a fight. The key to the KU victory was the final three minutes of the game, where Kansas outscored LaSalle 11-1.
3. Kansas 90, Wisconsin 87 (2 OT)
Dec.11,2005
The Jayhawks defeated the Badgers in double-overtime to improve their record to 7-0. An improbable last-second three extended the game at the end of the first overtime, but the Jayhawks bounced back and dominated the second extra period.
4. Kansas 63, Creighton 52
Dec.21,2005
A zone defense in the second half helped Kansas keep its record perfect
heading into the holiday break. The Jayhawks went on a nine-point run while keeping the Bluejays scoreless to open up a two-point halftime lead.
Dec.28,2005
Kansas tied its best start in school history in front of a season-high 3,622 fans. After struggling offensively in the first half, the Jayhawks got back to their most efficient offense- finding senior forward Crystal Kemp in the paint.
6. Kansas 73, Florida International 65
Dec.18.2005
While Florida International didn't win the game, it provided Kansas's future opponents with some help.
The Panthers' 3-2 zone stymied the Javwhaws.
1. Nebraska 73, Kansas 61
Jan. 7, 2006
WORST:
The first loss of the season also served as notice to how difficult the Big 12 schedule would be. Kemp turned 14 looks into 23 points, but Nebraska's zone defense kept her from receiving the ball in the second half.
2. Colorado 74, Kansas 65
Jan. 10,2006
A physical performance from the Buffaloos helped them break a second-half deadlock with 13 ans answered points.
7. Torey A&M 8, Kansas 64.
Jan. 15, 2006
The Aggies were able to knock down open shots all afternoon and torched the KU defense. Kansas lost its third straight game and first home game of the season.

'Hawks must be angry to beat'Huskers
KU Tip-off
Kansas vs. Nebraska 3 p.m., Saturday, Allen Fieldhouse
AT A GLANCE
Kansas comes into this game against Nebraska reeling. The Jayhawks lost to its biggest rivals, Kansas State and Missouri, in back-to-back games. These losses crushed any momentum the Jayhawks previously gained. Kansas had won seven straight games, including victories over California and Kentucky, before playing Kansas State at Allen Fieldhouse.
Kansas missed five free throws down the stretch to allow Missouri back into the game. The Tigers won in overtime. Senior forward Christian Moody had an opportunity to win the game at the end of regulation, but missed two free throws as time expired. Kansas lost the game 89-86.
LAST TIME OUT
PLAYER TO WATCH
Moody. After missing the potential game-winning free throws on Monday, his attitude and performance on the court will set the tone for the game and, arguably, the rest of the season. The Asheville, N.C., former walk-on will need to provide senior leadership and give Kansas energy with his ability to create second chances off of loose rebounds. A positive attitude from Moody will help the entire team get over last Monday's loss in Columbia, Mo.
Kansas
OFFENSE
The Kansas offense looked fluid against Missouri on Monday night, but it was unable to close the door on its border rival. The Jayhawks missed free throws enabled the Tigers to send the game into overtime and win. Missouri did not play much zone defense, but Kansas showed its inability to penetrate against a zone against Kansas State. If Nebraska uses a zone defense, Kansas will have troubles.
KU KU KU
DEFENSE
The defense has been a pleasant surprise this season. While playing mainly against freshmen and sophomores, the team has been one of the top defensive teams in the country based on opponents' field goal percentage. Nebraska features a balanced scoring attack with three players averaging in double figures. The Kansas defense must recognize which player is "hot" and neutralize that player. The team was unable to do that with Missouri's Thomas Gardner.
KU KU KU KU
COACHES
Kansas has appeared lost and out of sync at times. That has been a direct reflection of the coaching staff. After the team's struggles with zone defense against Kansas State, Kansas coach Bill Self needs to have his team prepared to beat the zone if it is going to make a run at the NCAA tournament.
NN
On offense, senior forward Wes Wilkinson leads the Cornhuskers. The Grand Island, Neb., native is averaging 12.7 points per game. He is also shooting more than 50 percent from three-point distance, converting 33 of his 61 attempts. Nebraska also has a solid duo at the guard positions in senior Jason Dourisseau and sophomore Joe McCray. Kansas fans may remember McCray from last season when he scored 19 points in Allen Fieldhouse in Nebraska's 59-57 loss. McCray had an open three-point shot from the left wing to win the game last season, but did not convert it. As a team, Nebraska is 10th in the Big 12 Conference in scoring offense, scoring just 69.9 points per game.
DEFENSE
OFFENSE
Nebraska is near the middle of the pack in most defensive categories in the conference. The team is allowing 63.6 points per game, which is good for sixth in the conference. Wilkinson might be the team's top defender with his average of 2.27 blocks per game, which leads the Big 12. Wilkinson has accounted for 34 of the team's 60 blocks on the season and leads the team in rebounding. McCray is also a pesky defender and leads the team in steals with 22.
NNN
Nebraska
COACHES
Barry Collier is in his sixth season as the coach of Nebraska. In his five previous seasons, Collier has yet to lead his team to the NCAA tournament. Collier and the Cornhuskers have only reached the NIT once and lost in the third round. Collier's team has never finished above seventh in the conference and limped to a 14-14 finish last season. Overall, Collier is 70-77 at Nebraska.

NN
KEY TO VICTORY
KU
- Keep the foot on the gas. Kansas has struggled to put teams away this season.
If Kansas gets an eight-to 10-point lead, it needs to finish and work to extend the lead. Kansas cannot allow Nebraska to creep back into the game and pull out a victory, like Kansas State and Missouri did. A conference record of 1-3 would heavily diminish Kansas's chances of playing in the NCAA tournament.

AT A GLANCE
Nebraska comes into Lawrence with a record of 14-4. Its most prominent victory coming at home against Oklahoma. The Cornhuskers escaped, 59-58, which gave their first conference victory of the season. Since then, Nebraska has defeated Kansas State on the road and lost to Iowa State at home. Out of conference, Nebraska had its most notable loss at the hands of its in-state rival, Creighton. Nebraska was blown out, 70-44. Nebraska's best victory outside the Big 12 Conference came against Marquette.
THE S
LAST TIME OUT
Even though Wes Wilkinson accumulated a double-double, Nebraska lost to Iowa St. 88-75 on Tuesday in front of a season-high crowd of 11,271 at home. A victory would have given the "Huskers its best conference start in 30 years.
1
PLAYER TO WATCH
Although he hasn't been the team's best player, Kansas fans might want to focus on guard Joe McCray. The sophomore got in the heads of KU players last year and drew loud boos for yelling and pumping his fists at the Kansas faithful. He provided the team with a spark it had lacked in previous games with Kansas and almost helped his team pull off the upset. Sophomore guard Russell Robinson or freshman guard Brandon Rush will guard McCray on Saturday.
52. 98 The free-throw percentage of guard Jason Dourisseau. If the game is close near the end and comes down to free throws, this is the player Kansas will look to foul.

A victory in Allen Fieldhouse would be a huge confidence booster for Nebraska. It would bring its conference record to 3-1 and give it a decent shot at making the NCAA tournament. The Cornhuskers will continue their road trip after Saturday and travel to Boulder to play the Colorado Buffaloos. A loss against Kansas would knock Nebraska's conference record to 2-2. The Cornhuskers started 2-0 in conference play.

KEY TO VICTORY
- Nebraska will face an angry Kansas team coming off a two-game losing streak. In order to win, Nebraska will have to jump out to an early lead and take KU fans out of the game. Also, Nebraska will have to take care of the ball and not turn it over as many times as it has.

School has been in session for a full week, which means that a new routine should be starting to sink in. That's all the more reason to mix things up a bit this weekend.
If posters aren't your thing, kick on your walking shoes and throw on a jacket. With the unseasonably warm temperatures this month, take advantage of the opportunity to be outside without a parka by making your way to the Downtown Friday Gallery Walk. It's free, and only happens on select Fridays from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Usually about a dozen galleries between Seventh Street and 10th Street participate.
As always, there's tons of fun to be had in this town of ours, it's just a matter of scratching beneath the surface to find affordable local entertainment. Student Union Activities has plenty planned at the Kansas Union this weekend.

The Lawrence Arts Center, 940 New Hampshire St., is a good place to pick up a map and start the adventure.
Looking at so much art can make your eyes spin. To get your ears engaged, just continue the art walk down to Sixth and Massachusetts streets where Yonder Mountain String Band will kick off its Cabin Fever 2006 Tour tonight and Saturday night at Liberty Hall.
There's also a ton of stuff happening tonight at the Kansas Union. Show up about 9 p.m., but don't forget your p.j.'s Student Union Activities is hosting its Winter Unionfest Pajama Party where pianist and vocalist Ross Copperman will be performing. There will also be a Scrabble tournament, a miniature golf course, a caricature artist and a scavenger hunt, all with a lot of prizes.

While McClendon was working for Google, he co-founded Keyhole, which was then acquired by Google.
"I just modified it slightly one day a couple years ago," he said. "Last year, Keyhole was renamed Google Earth, released as a free product, and the rest is history."
It looks like Lawrence is at the center of the earth — at least, according to Google Earth it is. More specifically, Meadowbrook Apartments, near the intersection of Bob Billings Parkway and Crestline Drive, is at the center of the earth.
Brian McClendon, director of engineering for Google Earth is responsible for the Web site. He lived in Lawrence for 15 years and eventually graduated from the University of Kansas with a Bachelors of Science in Electrical Engineering in 1986.

"We're really happy about it," said Roberta Floyd, resident manager.
Molly Bachand, Kansas City, Kan., senior, said, "It's interesting that of all the places in the world it could land, it lands here in Lawrence."
To actually see Lawrence though, the zoom feature has to be used. Someone who does not know of the Lawrence connection may never see it.
"It'd be cool if, as soon as you opened up the Google Earth site, it zoomed in on Lawrence on its own," Bachand said. "But it's still weird to think that it looks like we're at the center."

PALESTINIAN ELECTION
World shocked by Hamas victory
BY RAVI NESSMAN
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
RAMALLAH, West Bank — Islamic militant Hamas' landslide victory in Palestinian elections unnerved the world Thursday, darkening prospects for Mideast peace and ending four decades of rule by the corruption-riddled Fatah Party.
The parliamentary victory stunned even Hamas leaders, who mounted a well-organized campaign but have no experience in government. They offered to share power with President Mahmoud Abbas, the Fatah chief, who said he may go around the new government to talk peace with Israel.
Underscoring the tensions between the secular Fatah and fundamentalist Hamas, some 3,000 supporters of the militant group marched through Ramallah and raised their party's green flag over the Palestinian parliament. Fatah supporters tried to lower the banner. The two sides fought for about 30 minutes, throwing stones and breaking windows in the building.
year to a four-year term as president of the Palestinian Authority, has yet to decide how closely to work with a group that built its clout through suicide bombings. But his Fatah Party decided not to join a Hamas government, said Fatah legislator Saab Frekat.
Abbas, who was elected last
"We will be a loyal opposition and rebuild the party," Erekat said, after meeting with Abbas.
Hamas won a clear majority in Wednesday's vote, capturing 76 of the 132 seats in parliament, according to official, near-complete results released Thursday. The results of the popular vote were not announced.
But leaders across the world demanded that Hamas, which is branded a terror group by the U.S. and European Union, renounce violence and recognize Israel.
"If your platform is the destruction of Israel, it means you're not a partner in peace, and we're interested in peace," President Bush said in Washington.
Hamas members, and senior Cabinet officials held an emergency meeting to discuss the repercussions of the vote. Acting Foreign Minister Tzizi Livni asked the EU not to deal with a "terror government."
Acting Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said Israel will not negotiate with a Palestinian government that includes
Hamas leaders immediately took to the international — and even Israeli — airwaves to send out a moderate message.
"Don't be afraid," Ismail Haniyeh, a Hamas leader, told the BBC.
At a victory news conference late Thursday, however, Haniyeh said Hamas will "complete the liberation of other parts of Palestine." He did not say which territories he was referring to or how he would go about it.
Hamas has largely adhered to the cease-fire declared last February, while a smaller militant group, Islamic Jihad, carried out six suicide bombings against Israelis during that period.
The Islamic group quickly reached out to Abbas to try to work out a partnership, Haniyeh said, adding that he did not expect the Palestinian leader to resign.
fore the vote they would be content to be a junior partner in the next government. The group campaigned mainly on cleaning up the Palestinian Authority — downplaying the conflict with Israel — and Zahar said Thursday that Hamas planned to overhaul the government.
"We are going to change every aspect, as regards the economy, as regards industry, as regards agriculture, as regards social aid, as regards health, administration, education," he said.
Hamas leaders had said be-
Some experts believed the Hamas victory would force it to moderate. Others feared it would embolden the group to remake Palestinian life in keeping with its strict interpretation of Islam.
"We don't want the Palestinian people and cause to be isolated. We don't want a theocracy," said independent lawmaker Hanan Ashrawi. "Hamas promises reform, sure they will do that, I would like to see reform. But what worries me is things like legislation on education, culture, social welfare, the ramifications for peace in the future."

Universities boycott Coke
BY NICole KELLEY
nkelley@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Twelve universities have suspended contracts with the Coca-Cola Company after allegations surfaced about abuse to workers and the environment at the company's foreign plants.
A group at the university called Coalition to Cut the Contract with Coca-Cola claims the company was behind the deaths of eight union members in Colombia through its partnership with paramilitary forces. The Coalition also claims that in India, Coca-Cola depleted the groundwater supply, causing an increased number of pesticides found in the water and soil. Coca-Cola denied any of this happened.
Lindsey Rogers, University of
One of the schools leading the charge is the University of Michigan, which, after being contacted to take action by factory workers in Colombia, suspended its contract with the company.
Michigan sophomore and member of the Coalition to Cut the Contract with Coca-Cola, said, "Coke likes to say that they're not responsible for the action in their bottling camps, but somehow when paramilitary blockade the roads they find a way to get through."
The University of Kansas has a contract with Coca-Cola worth $15.7 million over a 10-year span. In the 2004-2005 school year, a total of 28,563 Coke products were sold in vending machines throughout campus.
SUSPENSION OF COCA-COLA CONTRACTS
Kerry Kerr, Coca-Cola spokeswoman, said the company plans to hire an impartial, independent third-party to access the situation in Colombia. Coca-Cola also wants to meet with the University of Michigan to address the boycott, she said.
Theresa Klinkenberg, chief financial officer of the University, said no specific concerns about the subject from students had been brought to her attention. She said she couldn't speculate about the action the University would take.
< The allegations brought against Coca-Cola have spurred 12 universities to join forces and suspend all sales of Coke products on their campuses.

"We are committed to work with all those schools so they have the facts and we can continue to have a partnership with them in the future." Kerr said.
"I don't think that's good enough," Rogers said. "There have been investigations in the past. The real issue is whether or not they are going to fix these problems."
Rogers said Coca-Cola sent the coalition a letter explaining what the company was going to do, but she wasn't satisfied.

tor for KU Student Senate, said the allegations against CocaCola need to be fully investigated before any decision regarding the stance of the University can be made.
"At the end of the day, unless you're a Pepsi fan, I highly doubt most members of the student body want their Senate to jump up and lead a charge against Coke unless something substantial in terms of humanitarian issues was proven," Jones said.

Union ballroom shakes down in first Jayrock talent show
BY LISA TILSON
editor@kansan.com
KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
More than 300 student athletes filled the Kansas Union Ballroom last night to kick off the first ever "jayrock," an all-athlete talent show.
Jayrock featured performances from singing and dancing to "Saturday Night Live" style skits from eight KU athletic teams, including men's golf, volleyball, swimming and diving, men's and women's
track, baseball, rowing and soccer.
The idea for Jayrock was inspired by a similar event held annually at the University of Michigan. Even though Jayrock was much smaller than Michigan's show, the Student Athlete Advisory Committee, a board of representatives from KU athletic teams, has high hopes for its future.
"It will hopefully be a new tradition for KU athletics," said Tayler Eldridge, a Santa Cruz, Calif., senior on the rowing team who
serves on the advisory committee.
The event started at 6:30 p.m. with dinner and socializing and was highlighted by eight performances that ended at 8:30. Athletics Director Lew Perkins sat front and center to enjoy all of the comedy.
"All the athletes are always so busy with practices and competitions, this is a great forum for them to all be together to socialize, relax and really have fun," Perkins said.

STATE
Bill could revoke immigrant tuition aid
Assigned to the Federal and State Affairs Committee, the proposal, HB-2615, was introduced Jan. 17 by Rep. Becky Hutchins (R-Holton). The legislation the bill is attempting to repeal, passed in 2004, grants in-state tuition to illegal immigrants who have attained at least three years at and graduated from a Kansas school.
A recently introduced proposal to repeal the illegal immigration/in-state tuition act is headed for a committee hearing next Wednesday.
The bill must go through
a number of steps before it makes it to the House floor, but if it does, Rep. Barbara Ballard (D-Lawrence), said she would vote against it.
"People think that the bill allows immigrants to go to school for free, but that's not the case," Ballard said of the original legislation. "These students have been in Kansas for most of their lives, so they're not truly immigrants."
Hutchins said she would have introduced the bill last year, but put it off when Kris Kobach filed a lawsuit against the state of Kansas on behalf of out-of-state students. He argued that they shouldn't have to pay more for tuition than illegal immigrants. The lawsuit
was eventually thrown out based on procedural grounds, but that ruling is under appeal.
Hutchins noted that a federal law enacted in 1996 prohibits illegal immigrants from receiving post-secondary benefits if U.S. citizens can't receive the same.
Rep. Richard Kelsey, (R-Goddard), a member of both the Higher Education and Federal and State Affairs Committees, views the move as political posturing.
"I'll be personally surprised if this goes through," Kelsey said. "I have to question what the motives are, but as a politician, I see what they're trying to do."

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The statue of longtime coach Phog Allen stands guard over the new 26,000-square-foot Booth Family Hall of Athletics. In his vintage practice sweats, he stands as a reminder of his hard work that went on in the building behind him.
For decades, names and faces entered the arena to form a rich basketball tradition through determination and steadfast loyalty.
On Saturday, all the history,
myth and legend of Kansas
basketball and athletics received a permanent home in the 26,000-square-foot Booth Family Hall of Athletics, bringing with it swarms of emotions and rekindled memories of seasons past.
Children and grandchildren of the late Gilbert and Betty Booth donated $5 million for the creation of the Hall.
"It typifies Kansas athletics," Chancellor Robert Hemenway said. "Everyone is overwhelmed."
Within the doors of the Hall is a giant projection screen recounting Kansas sports moments. Inside are countless artifacts, numerous statistics, legendary names and priceless memories.
One timeless piece of Kansas history drew much of the attention during the opening minutes of the Hall — longtime
University of Kansas basketball radio broadcaster Max Falkenstien wandering through the hall.
Falkenstien put his personal collection of championship rings and memorabilia on display for the opening. The Hall rekindled old memories for the 81-year-old Falkenstien.
The University basketball broadcaster of 60 years said the interactive championship gallery was one of his favorites and reminded him of some of the all-time best Kansas teams.
Among the thousands of fans rushed with emotion was a couple standing over the inlaid Jayhawk in the middle of the Hall. The couple stood embracing, their eyes filled with tears.
Casey and Michael Arnold, sophomore twin sisters from Telluride, Colo., unable to
focus on a particular image, gazed at whatever lay in front of them. Both stood in adoration.
"You walk in and you see all the tradition. It makes us unique. There is no comparison." Michael said.
"It made me emotional," Casey said. "It's a dream come true. I was born and raised a Jayhawk. I can't believe it. The first marks of basketball are on that court," referring to the old center court mounted on the west wall.

Their straggler friend quickly pulled her hair back into a loosepony tail. In a matter of minutes she finished her make-up and reapplied her mascara after a long work shift that kept her friends waiting on their seeming workaholic friend.
Laughing, drinking and dressed to go out, the group of friends waited impatiently for their straggler friend to finish getting ready.
This scenario plays out all too often for students who pay their way through school. Although most college students — 92 percent according to the National Center for Education Statistics have, or have had, a paying job at some point in their collegiate careers. The balance between going to school, having a social life and working to pay for school continues to be, while a beneficial learning tool, a constant struggle.

Spare time is hard to come by no matter who you are, but according to the National Center for Education Statistics almost all of the 16.7 million students enrolled in two or four-year colleges have a job, or had one somewhere along the road to their degrees. Although $129 billion was dished out to students through loans and financial aid in the 2004-2005 school year according to collegeboard.com, student earnings can go a long way toward paying the bills, or just toward boozing.

Prisoners receive standing ovation

The prisoners filed into the church one by one, equipped with solemn looks on their faces. They seemed at peace with the situation and no one in the church seemed to care that they were inmates. Their past indiscrements were forgotten for at least two hours.
Lead by Elvera Voth, their small-in-stature but determined leader and conductor, the East Hill Singers arrived in Lawrence yesterday afternoon. The chorus performed at the First Presbyterian Church, 2415 Clinton Parkway.
The East Hill Singers are a chorus comprised of inmates from the Lansing Correctional Facility and volunteer singers from the metropolitan Topeka, Kansas City and Lawrence areas.
The chorus brought in a full house. Old and young crammed into the church to hear the concert. There was no available parking at the church and the room quickly became standing room only.
Nancy Meis, executive director of Arts in Prison Inc., said the East Hill Singers are used to having many people show up to their shows but the response from the Lawrence community was excellent.
"After ten years of doing incredible shows, people have come to expect variety and quality out of our shows." Meis said. "The inmates never forget these experiences'
Jeffery, an inmate whose last name is being withheld to protect the rights of his victim, said that has appreciated his time with the chorus. "You don't have to have a great singing voice to be in this group.

given to public areas where students can gather to study either in the floor lobby or in the middle of each wing.
For the moment, spaceships, peace signs and other funky artwork can still be seen painted on the lower level floor walls, but when the hall is finished, the walls will be blank for new artists to leave their mark.
Perhaps one of the most striking new architectural differences involves the main floor hallway.
Instead of the traditional straight walkway, a curvy pathway will break off into individual rooms, including a conference room, a costume and sewing room for theatrical performances and a multipurpose workroom.
For students who lived in Hashinger and want to live there again, residency is guaranteed through a program called "Home Away From Hash" aimed at keeping the hall traditions alive.
McCollum Hall has two floors for these students to help them feel like they never left. These students have the priority option of filling out an intent to return application that would give them access to residency in Hashinger when it reopens next year before any other applicants.
Liza Murray, Paola freshman, who lives in McCollum one floor above the Home Away From Hash participants, said she noticed a difference between the former Hashinger residents and the rest of the hall's residents.
"There are more posters on the walls and doors. The floor is a lot more decorated," she said.
Traditional Hashinger events are still carried on at McCollum, including Open Mic Night, Elevator Music, and Hash-O-Ween.

Robber holds up bank with pellet gun
BY OLIVIA MUNOZ THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
EXETER. Calif. — Ending a 10 1/2-hour standoff, SWAT officers stormed a bank Thursday and seized a robber who had taken eight hostages with what turned out to be a pellet gun, authorities said.
The officers moved in after using a pack of Kool cigarettes to trick the man into letting go of his last hostage in the predawn hours. They left the cigarettes just outside the front door, and when he let the hostage retrieve them, officers pulled her to safety.
No injuries were reported.
"This is a great ending for everybody involved," sheriff's Lt. Keith Douglas said.
Jess Martinez, 47, an unemployed car salesman, was being held on bank robbery and hostage-taking charges, according to police. He turned down a request by The Associated Press for an interview.
Martinez entered the Bank of America branch Wednesday afternoon and demanded money, police said.
He took eight people hostage after employees alerted police, but released three of them within 10 minutes, and set two more free about 10 p.m. in exchange for fried chicken, authorities said.
After midnight, the three remaining hostages _ all bank employees _ tried to escape, but Martinez grabbed one and pulled her back inside, Police Chief Clifton Bush said.
About 3:30 a.m., as police were rescuing the final hostage, another SWAT team stormed the bank and captured Martinez without a struggle, authorities said.

During negotiations, some of the hostages were able to call family members.
Margie Riportella, who with her baby daughter was among those first released, said the man was carrying a briefcase and appeared to be unstable.
She said he kept all the hostages in the middle of the room.
A police officer escorts a hostage out of the Bank of America in Exeter, Calif., Wednesday, during a standoff with an armed suspect holding multiple hostages in Exeter, Calif. The man accused of holding a group of bank employees hostage for 10 hours in the small California town has been booked for bank robbery and seven counts of holding hostages.

Kansas regents J. W. Gleed and William Allen White voted for ending the KU football program entirely. A state-wide debate ensued.
The University's football team made it through in the end, but it was a close call.
Kansas regents J. W. Gleed and William Allen White proposed to the board the ending the KU football program entirely and replacing it with rugby. They weren't without cause, considering the scandals around KU football at the time.
When the football team failed to live up to its initial success (14-1-1 from 1891 to 1892), it allowed players who were not passing their classes or not enrolled to play.
The players' safety was also at question, as they wore little protective gear. One player named Bert Serf from Doane College in Nebraska died during a game against Kansas in 1896.
Complaints and concerns mounted in the years to come along with scandals involving ineligible players and narcotics.

Huge Katrina bill paid, no questions
Frank Wilczek, Nobel Prize-winning physicist, autographs his book, "Longing for the Harmonies" Friday evening after his speech in the Spencer Museum of Art. The speech was titled "The Universe is a Strange Place" and compared the universe to a lava lamp.

The inspector general's office reviewed six of the tasks that have been paid for by the Federal Aviation Administration.

Nobel winner explains the universe

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Physics fans packed the Spencer Museum of Art for an explanation of the universe Friday night. Frank Wilczek, winner of the 2004 Nobel Prize in physics, offered his award-winning theories on the universe, including multicolored illustrations and a comparison to a lava lamp.
Museum officials encouraged overflow audience members to sit in the front of the auditorium and stand along the back wall, but some students found that even getting inside was not an option. Maggie VanSpeybroeck, Arcata, Calif., freshman, said she hoped to get pieces from the lecture from her hallway seat but couldn't hear most of it.
Without the visual components, the lecture was more difficult to understand than she had initially predicted.
"I expected it'd be one of those humorous, fun lectures, but I don't think I would have understood it." she said.
Wilczek was challenged by the idea of creating ordinary, concrete matter from the small building blocks of physics that weigh nearly nothing.
"You can't put little scales in there to see what they weigh," Wilczek said.
Wilczek turned to an algebraic mutation of Einstein's e = mc2 to explain this. By arranging the equation as m = e/c, it reveals mass comes from the energy created by minute particles and
enlimines "the ugly concept of mass" and puts it "in terms of the more beautiful energy," he said. Mass is derived from the energy and speeds of the particles, giving weight to the particles.
Wilczek also talked about unordinary matter, the dark matter and energy that appears to fill the empty regions of space. Ordinary matter dominates the world we are familiar with. Dark matter clumps around galaxies, but is usually invisible outside of its gravitational influence; dark energy is energy we can't see spread evenly throughout space. Wilczek said that the two regions account
for 95 percent of all matter.
"In quantum field theory, we discovered that what appears to us as empty space is in reality a wildly, dynamic fluctuating medium," Wilczek said.
When this medium is disturbed, the energy changes. The result, Wilczek said, looks like a lava lamp, with clumps of energy and particles moving about.
ered shapes most experimental studies in modern particle physics.
Michael Murray, assistant professor of physics, said Wilczek's work allowed physicists to identify and classify different particles. "He brought order to the chaos
"He brought order to the chaos of high-energy physics," he said.
Wilczek summarized his speech by saying the world we understand is both strange and beautiful. Humankind still has a lot to learn, he said, but working for understanding will lead us to that.

But it opened a new inquiry by counterterror officials who are analyzing the bin Laden audiotape for clues about when and where it was made and, most importantly, whether it sends a signal to carry out his threat.
Intelligence analysts were scrutinizing the recording for

Lawmakers demand safer mines

BY VICKI SMITH
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHARLESTON, W.Va. — In death, 14 West Virginia coal miners have achieved something that just a month ago seemed an unlikely goal: Labor, industry and lawmakers are united in demanding that a dangerous subterranean occupation be made safer.
The bodies of Don I. Bragg, 33, and Ellery "Elvis" Hatfield, 47, were found Saturday, two days after a conveyor belt caught fire inside the Alma mine in southern West Virginia. Their deaths came just weeks after a Jan. 2 mine explosion that led to the deaths of 12 other miners exposed to carbon monoxide inside the Sago Mine in the northern part of the state.
"This is a time for all of us who share responsibility for mining safety to come together and look for ways to make mining safer," said Carol Raulston, spokeswoman for the National Mining Association in Washington. "We have made dramatic improvements over the last 15 years, but there's more to be done."
UMW president Cecil Roberts said Congress and state legislatures must take steps to ensure existing regulations are strictly enforced.
"We must also develop new initiatives that will give every miner a vastly improved chance to walk out of a mine after an accident, alive and well and safe in the arms of their loved ones," he said.
Hours after the bodies of two missing miners were found Saturday in Aracoma Coal's Alma No. 1 mine at Melville, Gov. Joe Manechin and West Virginia's congressional delegation called for a major overhaul of state and federal mine safety laws.
A Senate Appropriations subcommittee schedules hearings
Both the National Mining Association and the United Mine Workers of America said Sunday that they, too, will press for change.
Manchin said he would ask West Virginia lawmakers on Monday to pass three bills being written over the weekend to improve rapid response to mine emergencies and set up electronic tracking technology for lost miners and reserve oxygen stations underground. He also plans to meet with federal lawmakers.
The Bush administration is reviewing safety equipment in mines after scrapping similar initiatives started by the Clinton administration. Miners' advocates said pulling those initiatives stopped potentially important safety rules from becoming reality; the Republicans cited changing priorities and resource concerns.
The Mine Health and Safety Act was written a year after a 1968 explosion at Farmington that killed 78 miners, including Manchin's uncle. Federal laws governing the construction of mine drainage settling ponds were adopted after 125 people where killed when an impoundment gave way in 1972 and flooded communities along Buffalo Creek, less than 20 miles from the Alma mine.
The owner of the Sago Mine, International Coal Group Inc., isn't waiting for federal action. President Ben Hatfield says he's already formed a team to pursue change.
"When people get mad, they're more likely to do something," said
"We must put into place common sense proposals like these that will provide improved safe-
Nationally, there were 22 mine deaths in 2005, a record low. Three of those were in West Virginia, the nation's second-largest coal producer.
Sen. John Rockefeller(D-West Viginia) who was with Manchin when the families of the Alma miners were told the men were dead. "When I go back to Congress ... what's happened at Sago and what's happened here, there's got to be a lot of mad people."
on mine safety Monday, and U.S. Sen. Mike Enzi (R-Wyoming) who chairs the Senate Health Education Labor and Pensions Committee, which oversees mine safety, also planned a hearing.
If Manchin's effort results in federal action, it could be the third time that a West Virginia tragedy has had nationwide ramifications.

ty and security for miners and their families," said Sen. Jeff Bingaman(D-New Mexico) which has the nation's fifth-largest underground coal mine.

Internet companies must protect users
The federal government's geting interested in what you're searching for on the Internet
Last week, federal investigators tried to get Internet search records from Google, Microsoft, Yahoo and America Online to combat child pornography.
While Microsoft, Yahoo and America Online turned in the information, Google didn't.
For refusing, the Justice Department is taking Google to court to try to get its search records.
Microsoft, Yahoo and America Online justified record away their records because the records don't have any ties to whoever searched them. No personal information was given with the information. At least not yet. The administration has been cavalier so far in gathering intelligence.
Google not surrendering its information lets the government know it'll stand up for the privacy of its users.
This is certainly a message the federal government needs to hear from time to time.
No matter how you feel about the government's request or other intelligence gathering practices — if no one challenges the government, it will only grow bolder.
Critics have challenged President George Bush over
Issue: Privacy and the government
Stance: We support Google's attempt to protect user privacy.
his wiretapping of suspected Al Qaeda operatives' calls to the United States. The criticism forced the administration to defend its actions, as it should do. Bush defended his actions in his speech in Manhattan.
This administration, concerned with intelligence about terrorism and pornography, should be working to protect the country from both threats.
But if no one takes the time to look at what the government is doing or to stand up and says no to a request, there is no incentive for the government to consider what it's doing.
Google's concerns about privacy and free speech are warranted, and so are the government's concerns about terrorism and child pornography. If Google had acted as its rivals Microsoft, Yahoo and American Online did, who would be questioning the government's request?

Kelli Sparks/KANSAN
According to the news the past several years, especially within the last few months, it has come to my attention that we got short-changed somewhere along the line with what God does and doesn't want us to do.
shed. The Cats on that gay The New York Times recently reported that New Orleans mayor, Ray Nagin is jumping on the "holy wrath" bandwagon.
God is pissed, and by all accounts he doesn't seem to be taking it any more. Consider: Jerry Falwell helpfully informed us 9/11 was God's version of a kick in the nuts because of gays and their "unholy" ways.
Pat Robertson, good friend of God and national crazy person, let us in on the fact that God
Surely God is mad at America," quoth Nagin in his semi-infamous Martin Luther King Day speech. "He sent us hurricane after hurricane after hurricane, and it's destroyed and put stress on this country."
The true question is what is more offensive: The fact that incredible amounts of pain and suffering on thousands of people can be so easily pigeon holed as, "Well, you brought it upon yourselves," or that a public leader is using the celebration of a civil rights icon to chide a nation.
Allowed, all of these men are entitled to their opinions. The already much-maligned Nagin has not done himself a favor by throwing himself in with the likes of Falwell and Robertson. After catching flak for his handling of the hurricane situation, you would think the man would be walking on eggshells. That doesn't seem to be the case, however, with his apparent willingness to join the "creepy religious guy" club.
What's more frightening is that someone who isn't known for insane ramblings is so quick
to point to divine intervention. This little shot off at the mouth (which caught little attention, because of his vaguely racist comments elsewhere in the speech) is indicative of the swing to the religious right this country has been making bit by bit.
When our own government officials are taking us back to the hellfire and brimstone days, we're in danger of alienating a large cross-section of the population that isn't completely insane. Obviously Mr. Nagin feels that God was upset about something, and he has every right to feel that way. He shouldn't have belittled the victims of New Orleans by saying the death and destruction could have been prevented if we hadn't rubbed
a certain deity the wrong way. It seems to be a tad disingenuous. We expect that from the nut jobs, not from the mayor of one of the most famous cities in the United States.
Granted, Nagin did apologize for his comments, but anymore that's become standard procedure for politician screw-ups. It's high time to stop attributing all the pain and destruction in the world on the fact that America is a modern day Sodom and Gomorrah.
Then again, if Nagin, Robertson and Falwell are right, it's time we start stocking up on duct tape and plastic tarp.

COMMENTARY
University should put best foot backward
The next time you see a person walking backward on campus, take a good, long stare at him or her.
Unless it is just some random person walking backward (which is not out of the question on this campus) then it is most likely a KU Ambasador giving another fun- and fact-filled tour of our beautiful campus to some wide-eyed high school seniors and their parents.
In fact, chances are that many of you reading this right now went on one or more of these tours yourself before deciding to come to the University of Kansas. Carnegie Research, in a 2004 survey conducted for the University, found that campus tours were one of the most influential factors for incoming students. They ranked number one above athletics and everything else. It is scary to find out how much sway KU Ambassadors hold on incoming students, especially when you consider that KU Ambassadors will take just about anybody.
I used to be a KU Ambassador. That's right. Once a week I would lead a pack of high school seniors and their folks around campus all the while telling these prospective stu-

So I went to the interview where I was grilled with tough questions like "Can you walk backwards?" and (no lie) "Do you have a pair of walking shoes?" I passed with flying colors, and in no time I was getting lost with packs of students in Strong Hall.
The process involved to be a KU Ambassador should be much stricter and more rigid. I gave one tour with a fellow KU Ambassador who just happened to be in a sorority and who — although the tour consisted of two men and one woman, who said she was indifferent to the Greek system
just happened to mention her sorority and how you should join a sorority approximately 4,000 times. By the end of the tour I was convinced to join a sorority.
Meanwhile I smiled and attempted to answer the parents' questions as truthfully as I could. Which usually wasn't very truthfully at all. Don't get me wrong. I wouldn't lie on purpose. I would just try to keep everything positive and Grated, which sometimes meant avoiding parents' questions all together. Exchanges during my tours would often sound something like this:
Concerned Parent: "Why do you keep avoiding our questions?"
dors are hard-working students who really, really (read: scarily) care about the University. The problem is that if these tours are so influential all it takes is one bad apple for the University to lose a National Merit Scholar or an honors student.
KU Ambassadors shouldn't be a recruiting program for the greeks, and it shouldn't accept people who join out of spite, like me. A way to fix this would be to start paying the KU Ambassadors who are currently volunteers. By paying Ambassadors, the University could make it a real job and therefore have much stricter rules.
Rules that include "no kilts."

So we made a bet: We would find the most shallow, drugged, unqualified person possible, a.k.a. me, and see if they would accept me.

Blowout
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
The Jayhawks shot 72.4 percent from the field in the first half, which gave Kansas a 51-30 lead at half.
The outside shooting counteracted a zone defense Nebraska displayed early in the game.
Anthony Mattingly/KANSAN
Kansas, which couldn't break through Kansas State's defensive zone last week, penetrated the Nebraska zone and passed the ball to the perimeter for open shots. The Jayhawks were stellar from beyond the arc, going 11-of-18.
"As long as everybody is ready and prepared to come in and do what they are supposed to do, know their role. I think we can have a lot of nights like this," senior guard Hawkins said.
Rush said he had felt that anything he or his teammates shot would go in during the first half.
While the margin of victory was huge for the Jayhawks, Self said the team had not played as well as the score indicated.
"We just kept throwing it back up, and everything was dropping." Rush said.
The Kansas City, Mo., native had 17 points and went 3-of-4 from three-point range.
"I got the feeling that it was one of those, 'no, no, no, no, good shot,' days because we shot a lot of long threes early." Self said. "We didn't play as well as we shot it but we shot the ball great."
After back-to-back losses, the Jayhawks desperately needed a victory to get their season back on track for what the team hopes will be an eventual NCAA Tournament run.
Robinson provided defensive pressure, which sparked the Jayhawks in the first half.
"This is a big confidence builder and now we just have to continue to focus in," Hawkins said.
"So far it has been the most complete game," Robinson said.
He had clutch steals that led to easy baskets in transition. Kansas scored 37 points off of turnovers and got 55 points from the bench.
A group of Jayhawk fans check out an exhibit at the opening of the Booth Family Hall of Athletics before saturday's game against Nebraska. This new addition of Allen Fieldhouse contains decades of KU history.
The majority of the bench points came from three players: Hawkins, sophomore forward Darnell Jackson and freshman forward Julian Wright.
Those three players combined for 42 points. Wright displayed highlight-reel ability with three dunks in the game.
CRIMSON & BLUE
Jackson and Wright made up for a struggling front court. Starting sophomore center Sasha Kaun couldn't grab rebounds, which led Self to insert Wright and Jackson into the lineup.
Kaun and senior Christian Moody had just one defensive rebound at halftime and that prompted Self to make the change.
Basketball Notes:
Sophomore center CJ Giles played just five minutes and Self said if the game had been closer, Giles would not have played.
Self said that Giles had played little because he had missed class on Friday.
Former Kansas basketball player Walt Wesley was there Saturday. Wesley played from 1964-66 and has his jersey hanging from the rafters of Allen Fieldhouse.
Freshman guard Micah Downs was ill and didn't play. Self said that Downs would have seen more significant play time in that game if he hadn't been sick,

Hall
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Cameras snapped and heads twisted as each fan tried to absorb the Hall. Many fans said there were too many items to view in a short amount of time. That didn't stop them from trying, though.
"It's almost overpowering. You really see the power and tradition of Kansas athletics," said Matt Kelley, Lenexa junior.
Some left with chills, more with smiles, all with another KU story to tell friends and family following the 96-54 bludgeoning of Nebraska. Kansas fans exited the Hall, walking past Phog Allen one more time. Upon their return, they will fix their gaze on the giant figure, requesting permission to enter the doors of tradition and history.
"I don't know how they work so many hours per week," said Ann Hartley, Associate Director of the University Career Center. "The hard thing about it is that you miss the advantages involved with school while you're here."
Working
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Hartley said the University employed around 4,500 students, but didn't know exactly how many University students have off-campus jobs. Undergraduate students held the largest portion of on-campus jobs with 2,500. Graduate teaching assistants and graduate research assistants comprised the rest.
- Edited by Janiece Gatson
"There's certainly a real convenience to working on-campus," Hartley said. "It probably helps with retention rates, too. You would be less likely to drop out of school."
Brian Lewis, a Hutchinson sophomore currently studying sports management who works as a facility assistant at the Student Recreation and Fitness Center, acknowledged the benefits of working on campus.
He said he had increased his work schedule from 10 to 15 hours per week this semester because he planned to study abroad in the future and knew he should start saving.
"Earning your own money — there's something to be said about that," Lewis said. "I don't like asking for money, even though I do it. I wish everyone had to earn their own money."
Not all students feel that way. Colin Kastrup, St. Louis sophomore, said not working helped him concentrate on his coursework.
"I feel sorry for them," he said of students who work. "I wish they had the opportunity to not work. I definitely feel guilty."
Kastrup, double-majoring in film and Spanish, receives money from his parents. His parents wouldn't allow him to work during his freshman year, and although they allow it now, he said they want him to keep his priorities in line.
They just think school is more
important right now," Kastrup said.
Kastrup had a job in high school and works as a restaurant cook when he heads to St. Louis over winter and summer breaks. At school, however, Kastrup deals with an excess amount of time on his hands.
Hartley hinted at this working versus not working dilemma. She emphasized the importance of being involved with school functions, such as games and organizations and having the time to take internships geared toward their future careers.In order to have that time, students have very little free time remaining to earn money for expenses.
Herein lies the problem: if students are working they don't have time for school, but if they only focus on school, too much free time may accumulate.
Boswell said the lessons learned from balancing being a student and working, including time and money management, would help her forever.
Although most jobs are not ones that students will likely pursue for their careers, Hartley thinks the experience is still beneficial.
Learning time and money management may prove someday to be as necessary as the classes students enroll in, but for now it's the struggle between those that work and those that don't get the attention.
- Edited by Janiece Gatson
Jessie Boswell, Buhler sophomore, sees both sides of the fence. The psychology major works two jobs, one on-campus and one off, totaling 20 to 25 hours per week. She spends 8 to 10 hours per week as a desk assistant in the math department at Snow Hall. For the remaining hours, Boswell works as a sales associate at Maurice's on Massachusetts Street.
"If you weren't involved with any activities and you didn't work, your employers in the future will wonder, 'Well, what were you doing?" Hartley said.

JayWalk doesn't walk the line
It's time to give a wake-up call to the campus safety advisory board on how money is being spent on campus safety.
Case in point: JayWalk. It's a service program that offers to walk students to their cars or any building on campus.
It operates from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. from Sunday through Thursday out of posts at Anschutz Library and GSP-Corbin Hall.
No one could give a definitive answer on exactly how many volunteers and users of the program there were each semester but reports indicate the number for both groups hovers around 40 to 50.
Andrew Schmidt, Lawrence sophomore, volunteered with JayWalk during the 2004-2005 school year. He worked one or two two-hour shifts a week and walked six people the entire year
He said it was a good service but people just didn't use it.
Student Senate implemented the program Fall 2003 as one of the political platforms of KUnited's campaign from the previous spring semester.
Like the yellow bike program, JayWalk exists as another testament to Senate bureaucracy and impractical ideas realized at the students' expense.
Approximately $120,000 comes from the $2 student safety fee everyone pays each
semester. The campus safety advisory board, made up of student senators, is charged with spending that on capital improvements like improving lighting, adding crosswalks and maintaining the blue phones.
After three years, there has been enough time to critically evaluate the program and make adjustments. It also does not address the other safety concerns of students, like the more unsafe surrounding areas off-campus, where poor lighting and sidewalks are a problem.
JayWalk received $12,800 this year to spend on Internet and phone usage, promotion and other incidentals. Each year, however, the program ends up with nearly $1,000 of unspent money, yet JayWalk saw an increase of $2,100 in funding from the previous year.
Students can just as easily call a friend or carry mace rather than take an awkward stroll with two strangers.
Student Senate needs to get realistic about its goals to help student safety and reevaluate Jaywalk.
Malinda Osborne, for the Editorial Board
Despite its coordinator's best efforts, the program is impractical and thus doomed from the start.
Alito comes through at ease, unscathed
COMMENTARY
COMMENTARY
JOSHUA GOETTING opinion@kansan.com
Just when some of us thought that winter break couldn't get any more boring, along came the Alito hearings.
While no one expected these hearings to be a three-ring circus of fun and excitement, Alito's opponents had, up to the beginning of the hearings, raised quite a few issues that could easily have sent him the way of former candidate Harriet Miers.
However, in a less-than-exciting style, Alito turned what had the potential to be serious challenges to his nomination into so much hot air. In fact, it seemed during most of the hearings that the senators remarks and questions took up more time than Alito's responses.
To most who watched, this seemed to be because Alito answered questions so succinctly and concisely and with such solid reasoning that senators had no choice but to speak in verbose circles in vain attempts to come up with any sort of follow-up.
As for the serious accusations made against Alito, all of them appear to have been disproven.
For instance, the accusations that Alito is a closet bigot with ties to an unsavvy organization at Princeton have been totally refuted. What was proven was that that Alito had only a subscription to a magazine published by Concerned Alumni
of Princeton (CAP) and this subscription was the result of his desire to see ROTC return to the Princeton campus and not of his dislike for minorities.
It also came out that, far from being a racist and sexist publication, the CAP magazine had only been targeted due to a single article that decried the rising enrollment of women and minorities at Princeton, which turned out to be an entirely satirical piece.
Although it is the right of senators to delay votes like this for up to a week, the beginning of the hearings were already held up by a week with the understanding that they wouldn't be delayed later. That makes this latest postponement look like a cheap stalk tactic.
Not only could senators not make hay of Alito's answers about some of his more notable rulings, but the American Bar Association, which asked Alito many of the same questions about his judicial reasoning, found his answers satisfactory enough to give him its highest rating.
Despite all of this, Democrat senators stalled the Judicial Committee vote on Alito for a week because several senators would have had to hurry back to Washington from Martin Luther King Day celebrations.
It seems that once again Senate Democrats are attempting to obstruct the elevation of a highly qualified judge because they don't agree with that judge's philosophy, but this ploy has been defeated before, and, it should definitely be defeated again.
I was really enjoying being at home during winter break. Away from the dining halls, I got to eat hearty, tasty meals that weren't on a regular two-week rotation. I was getting into a pretty good groove of sleeping until ridiculously obscene hours of the day for no good reason, reaching an all-time record of 5:30 p.m. once. But most of all I just enjoyed being lazy and having no responsibility.
Rise and shine, freshmen; second semester dawns
♦ Goeting is a Leavenworth senior in political science and East Asian languages and cultures
Last Monday I could tell that adjusting back to college life would be difficult. That was when I made the big, impressive splash I was hoping for in my first semester on the staff of this newspaper by stumbling into the first day of Kansan orientation half an hour late, still gregory after sleeping through my alarm.
So, personally, I wasn't looking forward to the start of school terribly much.
Freshmen around campus have varying perspectives on returning to school after winter break. While some don't return at all, others feel relieved at coming back to school for a second semester.
"It was actually a really good feeling." Nick Reed, St. Louis freshman, said. "College isn't like high school because over break you can't hang out with the people you go to school with."
According to surveys conducted by the Institutional Re

search Office, the percentage of freshmen who don't return for their second semester has hovered around seven percent in recent years, Kathryn Nemeth Tuttle, associate vice provost for student success, said.
"There are many complex reasons why students don't continue," She said. "Probably about half leave for academic reasons and about half for personal or financial reasons."
Reed said the only time he had ever thought about leaving the University was the second day after he arrived in August, when he didn't know anyone here. But now that he's gotten to know people, he said leaving was the last thing he would do.
"It's actually very difficult for students to be dismissed after the first semester," she said.
But that's exactly what happened to Zach Johnson, a Topeka freshman last semester. He received a letter during break telling him that he had not met the University's academic
Tuttle said that most students left of their own accord, rather than being asked to leave.
standards and that he had been dismissed as a student. This is understandable, though.
Johnson lived on my dorm floor last semester, and he's definitely not stupid, lazy or unmotivated. He just never went to class because he had other concerns. He poured a lot of his energy into playing guitar, and he was planning to transfer to a sound engineering school in Florida, anyway.
This is what I suspect is the

case for most freshmen who don't come back for a second semester — they just realize that the University, or even college in general, just isn't right for them.
Those of us who choose to keep going with school, though, will continue to wage battles against procrastination, lack of sleep, and boring lectures with our heads held high, no matter how much we would like to continue sleeping well past noon every day

COMMENTARY
Fuel alternative tastes yummy
In the last few years, it has become increasingly clear that an alternative to gasoline needs to be developed. Car manufacturers have made great strides in this area by producing hybrid cars, which use the internal combustion engine of a regular vehicle along with a battery and an electric motor.
These cars are great, and we have all heard celebrities swear by them, but there is a slight problem: You pretty much have to be a celebrity to get one. Solar-powered cars have been looked into also, but even if a car could be powered on solar energy alone, that car would cost a bundle.
Cars with the ability to run on natural gas and hydrogen are available. Natural gas is made up of hydrocarbons and is produced from gas wells. Natural gas burns very cleanly and it is not nearly as hazardous to the
Dan Becker, of the Sierra Club, spoke to the Star about the potential harm to the environment due to the amount of fertilizer needed to grow crops used in biodiesel fuel.
Becker said in the article. "If you really want to listen to Willie Nelson, go buy one of his records and play it in a hybrid."
Despite not necessarily being beneficial to the environment, biodiesel is an inexpensive source of fuel. Plus, it is a great way to feel better about eating French fries.
A lot of fries have to be made for fuel cars with the grease. Those fries really should not go to waste. I mean, it's for a good cause.

environment as other fuels.
Hydrogen is abundant. We would never have to worry about running out of hydrogen to power our cars. A car running on hydrogen could get almost 5,000 miles out of one tank! How's that for efficient? So why don't we all have these amazing natural gas and hydrogen vehicles? Once again, the problem lies in the expense of such a purchase.
Willie Nelson is a fan of this fuel alternative and has even gone so far as to invent his own form of biodiesel called BioWillie.

Mike Lewis, who runs the center, said in the PBS article that the center takes cooking oil from local restaurants and turns it into a source of fuel. Animal fats, soybeans and corn are other substances from which biodiesel can be made.
So what can we regular folks use as an alternative to gasoline? One option is biodiesel
PBS posted an article on its Web site describing the use of biodiesel at the Regional Transportation Center in San Diego. At the center, people can fill their fuel tanks with biodiesel made from french fry grease and other oils.

Eighth place no prize for Jayhawks
BY SHAWN SHROYER
sshroyer@kansan.com
KANSA SPORTWRITER
If the final standings were based on the preseason Big 12 Coaches poll, the Jayhawks would finish eighth this year. But Kansas plans to use the 2005 season to prove that prediction wrong.
Kansas coach Ritch Price said he did not intend for his team to finish in the Top 25. "In our conference we've got several baseball schools that are perennial Top 25 programs and have been for a long time," Price said. "We think we can
finish in the first five, but the bottom line is you got to get it done on the field."
Kansas will get that opportunity against 10 teams that made the 2005 NCAA tournament and a Texas A&M squad that is ranked No. 29 in the Preseason Rosenblatt Report's Top 35.
Despite having to face additional ranked opponents such as Southern California, Clemson, Baylor, Nebraska and defending national champion Texas on the road, players said they were up to the challenge.
Kansas is coming off its third straight 30-win season. The Jayhawks will also return seven position players who started last season and two starting pitchers.
The Cleveland Indians drafted starting outfielder Gus Milner in the amateur draft after last season, yet Milner decided to return to Kansas for his senior season instead to prove a point.
"Everybody looks down on KU," Milner said. "We've got a lot of returning people and last year, we were pretty experienced, so I think we could make a push for a lot better than eighth place this year."
to the team is senior pitcher Ricky Fairchild, who transferred from Tulane. Tulane reached the College World Series last season. He said the Jayhawks fate this season will rely on how far the pitching staff takes them.
"Our hitters are really swinging the bat well, both in the fall and now in the spring, and our pitchers are starting to come around. We have a lot of young guys that have a lot of promise. I think our season's going to be determined on how well they pitch," he said.
"There's no reason we can't
be top five in the Big 12 and Top 25 in the country," senior outfielder Matt Baty said.
Baty said he agreed with the preseason ranking of eighth, though, because Kansas had yet to prove itself. Baty has different aspirations for this season.
"Our goal is to make a regional," Baty said. "Our first year, our goal was to make it to the Big 12 tournament. Now we've reached that goal two times out of three years. Now it's time to make a regional and make a stand for KU baseball."

'Horns lead the way in conference play
BY STEPHEN HAWKINS
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DALLAS — As always, the expectations are high for the Texas Longhorns after they won their second national championship in four years. The preseason hype for Missouri is a new experience.
The Tigers are the only Big 12 team besides the unanimously top-ranked Longhorns listed in each of the three major preseason polls. The Tigers are coming off their third straight NCAA tournament appearance, but the 40 wins last season were their most since 1991.
Missouri has all of its position starters back except All-Big 12 outfielder James Boone (.340, 8 home runs and 7 RBIs). The Tigers return their top two starting pitches juniors Max Scherzer (9-4, 1.86 ERA) and Nathan Culp (9-2, 3.50), a left-hander.
Texas lost five position starters, including three senior infielders. While they return six pitchers, they have to find a replacement for closer J. Brent Cox (8-3, 19 saves, 1.73).
Baylor, which has to replace three top pitchers, was picked fourth by the Big 12 coaches, followed by Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas A&M, Kansas,
Texas Tech and Kansas State.
Nebraska won a school-record and NCAA-high 57 games last season. Among the Cornhuskers' 15 returning lettermen are pitchers Joba Chamberlain (10-2, 2.81), Johnny Dorn (12-2, 2.16) and Brett Jensen (3-5, 16 saves, 1.96).
Oklahoma, with eight position starters and three starting pitchers back from another NCAA regional team, and Texas A&M have new head coaches.
Sunny Galloway led the Sooners to a 12-6 record as interim coach at the end of last season after coach Larry Cochell resigned after making racially insensitive marks.
Kansas plays the earliest opener in the Big 12, Wednesday at Hawaii-Hilo. Senior first baseman Jared Schweitzer (.366, 7 HRs, 32 RBIs) is among six returning starters.
Larry Hays goes into his 20th season at Texas Tech, which has to replace six position starters. Hays has 730 of his 1,425 victories (fourth among active coaches) with the Red Raiders.
Kansas State third-year coach Brad Hill can depend on 20 returning lettermen from last year's 30-25 squad. That includes eight pitchers, with the weekend starting rotation intact.

Subpoena seeks internet records
SAN FRANCISCO - Google Inc. is rebuffing the Bush administration's demand for a peek at what millions of people have been looking up on the Internet's leading search engine
— a request that underscores the potential for online databases to become tools for government surveillance.
Mountain View-based Google has refused to comply with a White House subpoena first issued last summer, prompting U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales this week to ask a federal judge in San Jose for an order to hand over the requested records.
The government wants a list all requests entered into Google's search engine during an unspecified single week — a breakdown that could conceivably span tens of millions of queries. In addition, it seeks 1 million randomly selected Web addresses from various Google databases.
Yahoo Inc., which runs the Internet's second-most used search engine behind Google, confirmed Thursday that it had complied with a similar government subpoena.
In court papers that the San Jose Mercury News reported on after seeing them Wednesday, the Bush administration depicts the information as vital in its effort to restore online child protection laws that have been struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court.
Although the government says it isn't seeking any data that ties personal information to search requests, the subpoena still raises serious privacy concerns, experts said. Those worries have been magnified by recent revelations that the White House authorized eavesdropping on civilian communications after the Sept. 11 attacks without obtaining court approval.
"Search engines now play such an important part in our daily lives that many people probably contact Google more often than they do their own mother," said Thomas Burke, a San Francisco attorney who has handled several prominent cases involving privacy issues.
"Just as most people would be upset if the government wanted to know how much you called your mother and what you talked about, they should be upset about this, too."
The content of search request sometimes contain information about the person making the query.
For instance, it's not unusual for search requests to include names, medical profiles or Social Security information, said Pam Dixon, executive director for the World Privacy Forum.
"This is exactly the kind of thing we have been worrying about with search engines for some time," Dixon said. "Google should be commended for fighting this."
Every other search engine served similar subpoenas by the Bush administration has complied so far, according to court documents. The cooperating search engines weren't identified.
Sunnyvale, Calif.-based Yahoo stressed that it didn't reveal any personal information. "We are rigorous defenders of our users' privacy." Yahoo spokeswoman Mary Osako said Thursday. "In our opinion, this is not a privacy issue."
Microsoft Corp. MSN, the No. 3 search engine, declined to say whether it even received a similar subpoena. "MSN works closely with law enforcement officials worldwide to assist them when requested," the company said in a statement.
As the Internet's dominant search engine, Google has built
up a valuable storehouse of information that "makes it a very attractive target for law enforcement," said Chris Hoofnagle, senior counsel for the Electronic Privacy Information Center.
The Department of Justice argues that Google's cooperation is essential in its effort to simulate how people navigate the Web.
In a separate case in Pennsylvania, the Bush administration is trying to prove that Internet filters don't do an adequate job of preventing children from accessing online pornography and other objectionable destinations.
Obtaining the subpoenaed information from Google "would assist the government in its efforts to understand the behavior of current Web users, (and) to estimate how often Web users encounter harmful-to-minors material in the course of their searches," the Justice Department wrote in a brief filed Wednesday
Google — whose motto when it went public in 2004 was "do no evil" — contends that submitting to the subpoena would represent a betrayal to its users, even if all personal information is stripped from the search terms sought by the government.
"Google's acceding to the request would suggest that it is willing to reveal information about those who use its services. This is not a perception that Google can accept," company attorney Ashok Ramani wrote in a letter included in the government's filing.
Complying with the subpoena also wound threaten to expose some of Google's "crown-jewel trade secrets," Ramani wrote. Google is particularly concerned that the information could be used to deduce the size of its index and how many computers it uses to crunch the requests.

'Hawks must control Stinson, Blalock
KU Tip-off
ATA GLANCE
Kansas has shot better than 50 percent from the field in seven of its past nine games. The Jayhawks have been in a solid offensive rhythm lately. They had four players in double-digits in scoring Wednesday night against Texas A&M in College Station, Texas.
Russell Robinson. The sophomore guard has scored in double figures in each of the past four games and Self's decision to move Robinson to the point guard position is paying huge dividends.

LAST TIME OUT
18 — Assists per game for the Jayhawks this season, first in the conference
0 — Number of Kansas opponents that have shot better than 50 percent in a game this season
♦ A 16-0 run to start the second half helped Kansas erase a 2-point halftime deficit against Texas A&M. Kansas developed a lead it would not give back.
Freshman guard Brandon Rush poured in 22 points in the 83-73 victory.
24 - Career-high point total for Robinson against Texas A&M
7 — Number of times in the past nine games that the Jayhawks have shot better than 50 percent from the field
14. 4 Point average in conference games this season for freshman guard Mario Chalmers.
LOOKING AHEAD
- Securing another road victory Saturday against Iowa State would do wonders for Kansas' run toward an NCAA tournament bid. After two consecutive conference losses, Kansas has now won two straight conference games against Nebraska and Texas A&M.
KEY TO VICTORY
- Stop the Iowa State guards. Juniors Curtis Stinson and Will Blalock are two of the most agile guards in the Big 12. Chalmers and Robinson will have to keep up the stellar defensive pressure they've shown in recent weeks to stop Stinson and Blalock. If the Jayhawks can contain those two players, they should come out with an easy victory.

Offense
The Kansas offense is hitting its stride at the right time during Big 12 Conference play. The Jaybawks have shot 50 percent or better in seven of their past nine games, including a 64.8 percent effort Wednesday night against Texas A&M. Solid guard play from freshman Mario Chalmers and sophomore Russell Robinson contributed to better play by the KU offense. Chalmers is averaging better than 14 points per game in Big 12 conference play. Robinson stepped up againstTexas A&M with a career-high 24 points.
Rating: 3.5

Defense
The Jayhawks continue to give opponents tough defensive looks, holding nearly all teams to under 40 percent shooting from the field. Kansas plays aggressive, pressure defense, with full court presses or close man-to-man coverage in half court sets. The defense has provided critical steals and turnovers, which has led to easy buckets on the other end of the court. Kansas will need to continue to play solid defense on the road Saturday in Ames, Iowa.
Rating: 3.5

Coaches
A 2-2 zone, implemented during the second half of Kansas' 10-point victory in College Station, Texas, gave Texas A&M headaches on offense. Kansas coach Bill Self's decision limited Texas A&M's ability to drive to the basket and get easy buckets. Self and his coaching staff will need to continue to make critical adjustments tomorrow in order to stop the penetration of Iowa State guards Curtis Stinson and Will Blialock. Rating: 3

Coaching
In his third season as Iowa State's coach, it appears Wayne Morgan has the program headed in the right direction. He came to Ames in 2002 as an assistant coach and took over the head coaching job after Iowa State fired former coach Larry Eustachy. In his first season, Morgan took his team to the NIT Tournament. The next year, he became the first coach in Iowa State history to lead the team to two road victories against ranked teams, Iowa State beat Kansas and Texas on the road last year. Last season, Iowa State had a better showing, making the NCAA Tournament. It advanced to the second round. Iowa State's appearance in the tournament was its 13th bid overall and first since 2001.

- Iowa State comes into Saturday's game against Kansas needing a victory to stay near the top of the Big 12 Conference standings. Iowa State enters the game with a 3-3 conference record.
The Cyclones lost in overtime at home to Texas A&M last weekend. Iowa State's victories in the conference have come against Missouri, Kansas State and Nebraska.
LAST TIME OUT
- Iowa State didn't do something Kansas couldn't do: win at Missouri, Iowa State pounded Missouri on its home floor, 82-58. The Cyclones had four players score in double figures. Perhaps the most impressive part of the victory was shutting down Missouri's one-two punch of Thomas Gardner and Jimmy McKinney.The two combined to shoot 7-of-21 from the field.
PLAYER TO WATCH
- Curtis Stinson,The junior guard proved last year that he could single-handedly defeat Kansas when he scored 29 points in a 63-61 Iowa State victory in Allen Fieldhouse. He has the ability to carry his teammates on his back and take over games.

LOOKING AHEAD
After hosting Kansas, Iowa State will get a week off. The Cyclones are scheduled to play Colorado at home when they return to action.
KEY TO VICTORY
Utilize the ability of Stinson and Blalock. The speedy guards will look to penetrate the Kansas defense and drive to the basket to find open post men. If Stinson is able to get loose from Kansas guards Russell Robinson and Mario Chalmers, it could be a long night for Kansas.

This game could potentially be the only Texas loss all year in conference play. The No. 5 ranked Longhorns have looked impressive in their first five conference games, compiling a 5-0 record. The key for Oklahoma will be to stop the exciting Daniel Gibson from Texas. Gibson, a sophomore guard, scored 37 points in a victory against Baylor last weekend. Oklahoma comes into the game after beating Baylor Wednesday night. Oklahoma is the only other Big 12 team besides Texas ranked in the Top 25.

After winning its first 12 games with offense, the women's basketball team went a different direction yesterday and won a game with dominating defense.

The Jayhawks claimed their 13th victory by defeating Oklahoma State 66-46. The 46 points allowed were the
fewest Kansas has allowed all season.
"It's very important that we play well on the defensive end, because there's going to be nights we can't score," senior guard Erica Hallman said.
The impressive numbers also included a 35-6 scoring run by the Jayhawks, during which the Cowgirls were unable to score a basket for 11 straight minutes.
"We were an awfully good defensive team last year, and we need to get back to that," Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said.
The Cowgirls entered the game averaging 63.8 points
per game, the worst in the conference.
"We have got to be the easiest team to defend in the Big 12," Oklahoma State coach Kurt Budke said.
For Hallman, the game against Oklahoma State was an opportunity to break out of a slump.
"I've been struggling the last three games, but I had a really good week of practice," she said. "I just tried to play a complete game."

Hallman did that well, adding six rebounds and seven assists to her 14 points.

She regained her balance and called for the ball. After getting the ball in the paint, all it took was a simple turnaround to find open space.
Crystal Kemp was bumped out of the lane and nearly knocked down as she tried to fight off a pesky double team.
She scored at will in the second half, consistently finding an open seam in Oklahoma State's zone defense. She had nearly半分 of the Jayhawks' points during a 35-6 run in an 18-minute stretch of play late in the first half and early in the second half.
Kemp, senior forward, scored a game-high 25 points and pulled down a season-high 13 rebounds in Kansas' victory against Oklahoma State yesterday.
Once open, Crystal Kemp is nearly impossible to stop.
"I thought Crystal was fantastic in the paint," Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "There was a lot of contact and traffic in the lane, but she handled it very well."
Kemp continued her domination in the paint, personally outscoring all of Oklahoma State's post players.
"I knew they'd do that," Kemp said of the zone defense. "It's just a matter of taking my time and not rushing anything."

Hawkins rains three-pointers on Nebraska

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
By the time Jeff Hawkins hit his second three-point shot during Kansas' 96-54 victory against Nebraska Saturday, he had already surpassed his point total from his previous four games.
Hawkins made up for his low point production Saturday when he scored 17 points in 18 minutes and was a perfect 5-of-5 from three-point distance.
The senior guard came into the game scoring only four points in his previous four games. He didn't register a point against Kentucky, Colorado or Kansas State.
"Once I hit my first shot, it gives me more confidence to shoot the second one," Hawkins said. "Once I hit my first couple shots, I just got the mind set I could make any shot I take."
hit his first three-pointer. He came off a screen and the ball rattled around the cylinder before dropping in. It was Hawkins' first three-point shot since Jan. 4.
It didn't take long for Hawkins' presence to be felt. Kansas was leading 10-7 early in the first half when Hawkins

Hawkins hit his second shot minutes later after he received a pass from freshman guard Brandon Rush. This time, the ball didn't have to touch the rim
"I was starting Jeff when he wasn't scoring a point," Self said. "When a guy comes in and plays well, naturally he stays out there longer, but he is in our rotation. He will stay in our rotation."
Jeff Hawkins, senior guard, races to a loose ball during the first half of Saturday's game against Nebraska. Hawkins scored 14 points by the end of the first half. Kansas defeated Nebraska 96-56.
Kansas coach Bill Self said he never thought of reducing Hawkins' playing time before the Nebraska game because his scoring production was down.
Hawkins started the first 11 games for Kansas this season, but he was moved to the bench in favor of freshman guard Mario Chalmers. Since then, Hawkins has still played frequently in the past six games.
Hawkins did most of his damage in the first half when he scored 14 of his 17 points.
His third three-pointer would come off a fast break when sophomore guard Jeremy Case passed the ball to Hawkins, who set his feet and launched another three-pointer.
Besides his three-point
shooting display, Hawkins was also bothering the Nebraska guards all game forcing turnovers and creating fast break opportunities for Kansas.

The Gameday page was new during football season that provided readers with important players and statistics to watch for. This semester we will continue with that format for basketball. The Gameday page will include men's basketball games and big games for the women's basketball team as well
In keeping the Gameday page, we'd like to bring change to the sports page.
We're working on game stories being more personal. We want you to read the stories and learn something new, whether you attended the games or not. We'd like to take you beyond the box scores and convey the actions and emotions of the games.
We hope our columns make you think about the topic presented and formulate your own opinions.
Columns will be done differently this semester. For the first time in recent memory, the reader will know who will write columns on four days of the week.
Everything in the sports section will be well-researched, from the opinion columns to the sports feature stories. Our aim is to deliver news to the students with all the proper facts. We're not perfect, though. To that effect, we encourage you to tell us what's working

We'd also like to deliver sports action at the University in ways other than columns and game stories. This can be achieved with spotlights on athletes away from their game, from the most well-known faces to pickup game superheroes.
The renovation of Kansan.com will also add a new element to our sports coverage. Blogs, breaking stories and extended coverage will be featured on the new-and-improved Web site.
We hope that you will get involved and establish an identity with us, whether it's by picking up the paper or checking out our content online.

Senior center fielder Matt Batty, right, senior closer Don Czyz, center, and senior shortstop Ritchie Price, will serve as the Jayhawk captains this season. Kansas takes on Hawaii-Hilo on Feb. 1. The Jayhawk's first home game will be against San Diego on Feb. 18.
New season brings changes

KAANS STAFF WRITER
It feels different.
A line of Kansas baseball players patiently answered all of the questions addressed to them during media day Thursday afternoon with something different in their voices.
"We don't really have any tradition here as a baseball school," said senior outfielder Gus Milner. "Everybody expects us to finish in the lower half of the Big 12. I'm expecting us to go top five."
Last year's team became the first Kansas baseball team ever to record three consecutive 30-win seasons.
As a team, the goal has always been to finish the season in June at the NCAA tournament rather than the Big 12 Tournament in May. This season, Kansas expects more.
This season, Kansas is expecting different results.
Kansas will return its entire starting infield from a season ago. It will return seven position players in total.
Senior outfielder Matt Baty, senior closer Don Czyz and senior shortstop Ritchie Price were selected to lead the Jayhawks as team captains.
"They're the three freshmen that started with me four years ago, and they're also our three impact players," said Price. "They go about the game the right way. It's an honor to be associated with those guys."
The captains proved that they could provide leadership with their performances last season. Baty led Kansas with 75 hits and kept a
consistent. .306 batting average as a leadoff hitter. In 36 appearances, Czyz struck out 60 batters, while Price served as Kansas' ironman. He started all 64 games.
"My biggest goal for our coaching staff is to take this team to the final step," Price said. "We've turned the program around, we've had some success, and now if I could get this team to the NCAA tournament, it would be a great legacy for those three seniors to leave the program with."
Five more seniors will join them, including Milner. The early departure of A.J. Van Slyke to the professional level left Milner as the leading candidate to the Jayhawks' power hitter. Last season, Milner hit nine home runs and drove in 45 RBI.
"I want to be that guy for the team," said Milner. "We have enough talent to do this. We'll try to make a nice, little Cinderella story for KU."
The story will include competitive games against No. 1 Texas and No. 2 Clemson in Baseball America's top 25, an increased difficulty different from previous seasons.
A top five finish in the Big 12 will likely secure Kansas a spot in the NCAA tournament.
"I think we'll definitely make the regional," said senior pitcher Kodiak Quick. "I think we've got a really good team. Our defense has all returned, we've got a great outfield and middle. I think we've got the arms to get there. Now it's just a matter of living up to our potential, and I think we can do it."
That confidence is what makes this team different.

Baylor Bears (14-3, 5-3 Big 12)

Baylor cannot look ahead to next Monday's game in Baton Rouge, La., when it will play No. 4 Louisiana State. Kansas will be hungry for its first conference road win.
Key to Victory:
Season in Review;
The defending national champions have already lost as many games as they
lost all of last season. Missouri ended Baylor's 30-game winning streak earlier this year in Columbia, Mo. The Bears are currently fifth in the conference and have dropped two of their last four games.
Baylor defeated Kansas by 10 on senior night in Lawrence last season. The game marked Baylor's sixth victory in a row against Kansas.

Kansas Jayhawks (13-4, 2-4 Big 12)
Freshman guard/forward Sophronia Sallard played significant minutes in Manhattan Wednesday. She allows the team to use a different look with four guards playing at one time. With that line up, senior forward Crystal Kemp has the opportunity to play in the paint.
Kansas will have to find a way to keep Baylor under 70 points, which has only been done five times this season.
Kev to victory:
"They're just athletic on the perimeter, and we've got to be able to match that," Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said.
Player to watch:
Season in review:
The Jayhawks have struggled to find a winning combination of players
in Big 12 Conference play, with Kemp being the only player who has consistently played well. Look for Henrickson to use multiple substitutions early to determine who has the hot hand.

Kansas lost to Kansas State 69-63 in Manhattan Wednesday night. The Jayhawks struggled to play defense in the paint, allowing the Wildcats to mount a 16-4 run over a seven-minute stretch.
Previous game:
"It's hard to win in this league and we can't have lapses like that," Henrickson said.

The funny thing about KU basketball, now that football season is over, is the attitude of many students and fans. It always seems to change dramatically from game to game.
Listen up, you fickle fans: It's a young team after all
One moment, after an ugly home loss against Kansas State and another on the road against Missouri, the town sank into a near depression. Most talk of the team began with the letters NIT.
Then less than a week later, everyone was hugs and giggles after Kansas' 96-54 blowout of Nebraska Saturday.
That is the main difference with basketball at the University compared to all other sports. The fans are quick to reverse their opinion. It's either feast or famine. Sometimes I feel bad for the

SPORTS COLUMN coaches and the players. It seems like neither can ever truly please the fans.
Fans and students seem to think the 2002 or 2003 Jayhawks will just walk onto the court. I get the feeling that though they don't admit it, they expect Kirk Hinrich, Nick Collison, Drew Gooden or even Roy Williams to walk through the door. This attitude is ridiculous and needs to be overcome.
Sometimes I wonder if coach Bill Self has any regrets about coming to Kansas. Basketball minds such as Jerry Tarkanian, Rick Majerus and Jay Bilas have each recently called Self one of America's best young coaches. Several schools would sacrifice their first-born to hire a coach with Self's respectability.
NFL
Ironically, Self doesn't seem to command the same respect as he gets outside of Lawrence. In fact, Self resembles Texas football coach Mack Brown.
Year after year Self has had fantastic recruiting classes and has produced teams that won a lot of games. But, because of missed opportunities in games here and there, Self has received criticism. The resemblance to the criticism Brown had endured through the years is almost eerie.
Of course, people who frequent talk radio and message boards are the most brutal, but it isn't only Self. Before winning the national championship three weeks ago, Brown, like Self, had to hear criticism of many of his players. In Self's case, he's dealing with mostly freshmen and sophomores who are trying to find their niche at Kansas. At the same time, they have to please the fans night in and night out by pretending to be among the likes of Duke and Connecticut.
That doesn't mean that they won't join those elite ranks again one day, but the key words are "one day." This team is young. It's not nearly as bad as some people say, and it's not as good as others
Strange match-up set for Super Bowl XL
After that, Self and his players might begin traveling down the same road Brown and his players did this year. If they find the same fortune at the end of that road, then they will receive an abundance of praise and a few well-deserved apologies as well.
like to think. It is a very young team that is looking to find a happy medium, and once it does it will give fans their first real excitement in nearly three years. If all holds true, this team will make the NCAA Basketball Tournament this season and then proceed to win at least a few more games than it did in last year's visit.

SEATTLE - The contrasts between the Steelers and the Seahawks make this a fascinating Super Bowl matchup.
Going into its sixth championship game, Pittsburgh would seem like a seasoned contender. Seattle, by contrast, is untested. The Seahawks are going for the first time in their 30-year history and last week won their first playoff game in 21 years.
The Seahawks entered the playoffs as the NFC's top-seeded team. The Steelers were the last seed in the AFC, the first sixth-seed ever to make it to the big game.

And look for other subplots: the coaching similarities, the Seahawks' outstanding rookie linebackers — and a close, hard fought game.
The way these teams are playing now make that seem like a real possibility: Seattle's 34-14 victory over Carolina in the NFC title game Sunday was its 13th win in 14 games. And Pittsburgh's 34-17 win in Denver was its seventh in a row.

Campus police at George Washington University have used Facebook to snoop for underage drinking in parties. Parents use Facebook to check on their children. Now employers and even the career centers at the University
of Kansas use Facebook to evaluate students who are being considered for KU jobs.
"We hire students to work in our office and professional staff and we do look at their Facebook entries," said Mary Andrade Carlson, assistant director of the University Career Center. "It gives us better insight to how they truly present themselves."
Carlson uses Facebook regularly to evaluate hiring prospects for a particular job or just to find contacts in a particular field to invite to alumni panel presentations.
Facebook, an online networking site for college stu
dents, was created by Harvard students who wanted to post traditional yearbooks online.
Facebook spokesman Chris Hughes said he had not been aware of any employer using Facebook to assess potential employees.
Jolene Byer, assistant director of the Business Career Services Center at the School of Business, said an employer at a recent conference had mentioned using Facebook to screen candidates for a job.
"One person had posted a suggestive picture, and another talked about being drunk all the time," Byer said. "One had a fairly vanilla profile,

and that person got it."
"There's an illusion of privacy, but the information is out there," Byer said. "It can help you or hurt you at some point."
A manager's job is to make sure an employee fits his company, Byer said. If he sees on
Facebook that all a candidate ever does is party and post suggestive photos online, then that person might be a problem.
After the Kansas Association of Colleges and Employers conference last November, Byer explored KU student profiles on facebook.com.
"I found things that could get people fired," Byer said. "It was something I had never thought of before this conference."
Carlson and Byer both warned against mentioning your company on Facebook.
"We recently had an employer contact a career service."
es office on campus because a student had mentioned negative information about their company on a Facebook profile." Carlson said.
Byer said to use common sense. Can something you post online come back to haunt you?
The career centers at KU are planning to better inform students of the risks of posting private information online.
"Facebook is a fun tool." Carlson said, "but there's no reason to look like an idiot in your profile."

Attorneys bring case against ID to University
BY KRISTEN JARBOE
kjarboe@kansan.com
KANSA STAFF WRITER
In a Dover, Pa., case, a judge ruled the curriculum for intelligent design was unconstitutional because it violated the separation of church and state.
Kansas science standards also should be declared unconstitutional, said Jack Krebs, president of Kansas Citizens for Science.
He said the Kansas science standards expect teachers to teach intelligent design, changing the definition of science to include supernatural causation. Krebs said this violated the separation of church and state.
He spoke to more than 100 people at the Dole Institute of Politics Saturday as part of a forum called "Intelligent Design, Kansas Science Education and the Law."
He also was an adviser to Rothschild and Harvey during their case.
Attorney's Eric Rothschild and Steve Harvey, who argued against teaching intelligent design in the classroom in the Dover, Pa., case. ioined Krebs in the discussion.
Also joining them was Richard Katskee, the assistant legal director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State.
"We're here partly to say Pennsylvania is with Kansas."
Rothschild said, "Kansas has been a state that's probably been dealing with this issue the longest in recent times among the states who are confronting this opposition to teach evolution.
The Kansas State Board of Education revised science standards last year, which now include criticism of evolution in the curriculum.
Hume Feldman, associate professor of Physics and Astronomy, spoke about the series of lectures he has organized.
He said the University would educate students about what he considered to be the true definition of science.
Five lectures are planned for the spring and five in the fall, but dates are not set.
"Science is being re-defined as we sit here, and I think KU should take a leading role," Feldman said.
Pedro Irigonegaray, who argued against including criticism of evolution in science curricula at the Board of Education science hearings in May, also was at the discussion.
"Anyone from Kansas who loves this state, I think, has to be thinking, 'How far are we going to let the pendulum swing?' Irigonegaray said.
"I would suggest to you that the message that we as a group are sending is not one of a legal plug. It's not one of a thread of litigation. It's more in terms of a warning saying, 'Please pay attention.' Instead of being unaware, let's become aware of what's happening and how can we make it better."

Housing director to leave Kansas
Ken Stoner, director of the Department of Student Housing, is leaving the University of Kansas in early March to take a position at the University of Tennessee.
Stoner has been employed by the University for more than twenty years, and has won numerous awards during his term at the University including an Outstanding Faculty Award from the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators and a research and publication award from the Association of College and University of Housing Officers.
He was earlier recognized within the association as one of only two individuals in the United States that is an expert in all four domains of housing administration: residence education, business and fiscal management, physical plant and maintenance, and dining services.
"The department and the University will lose a great man," said Nona Golledge, assistant director of the Department of Student Housing.

New coalition names candidates

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
There will be a new coalition on ballots in April's Student Senate elections. Members of the coalition, called Ignite, unveiled their new party, officially kicking off their campaign process.
The presidential candidate for Ignite is Jason Boots, Plano, Texas, senior and current Student Senate Executive Committee chairman. The vice-presidential candidate is Mel Horen, Overland Park junior and current College of Liberal Arts and Sciences senator.
Both candidates ran under the KUited platforms in past elections. They said that as discussions about
elections started this year, the decision was made that it was time to do something new for the campus. They said
"It's going to be pretty obvious when they look at our new vision that we are very different than KUnited." Boots said.

what ideas and concerns they had. She said they wanted to be the first group to reach out to more students and make more of a connection between the student body and the Student Senate.
Right now, he said, there was a gap between the student body and Student Senate. Boots said to close the gap they needed strong lines of communication with students on campus.
"Previous Student Senates and coalitions have been 'open' to students, but simply being open isn't enough," Boots said. "In order to truly attain the input from our fellow students, we must approach them and ask for it."

Dancers near perfect at championships
BY ERIK JORGENSEN

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Only one University of Kansas team has finished in the top five nationally in the past three seasons — the Rock Chalk Dancers.
WDY
Rachel Seymour/KANSAN
Senior Rock Chalk Dancer Darcy Hiebsch, center, takes to the court with the dance team during a time out in the Kansas basketball game last Saturday. On Jan. 15 the dance team placed third at the College National Championships in Orlando.
The dance team finished third in the College National Championships on Jan.15 in Orlando.
The Rock Chalk Dancers continued a trend that started two years ago, when they finished second. They placed fifth last year.
Perhaps the most impressive aspect of the team's three-year run is that only 25 squads are allowed to compete at the national championships. The tournament field was selected through audition tapes sent in by each team.
The third-place finish in the most competitive division has solidified the team's place as a national dance powerhouse.
"The team has really come together," coach Tasha Ruble said.
Ruble said the team received more national recognition and performed at a near-perfect caliber. Some dancers agreed with Ruble
and acknowledged that they have become revered as a national power.
"It gave me a great deal of pride to place in the top five for the third year in a row," Christina Gekas, Eden Prairie, Minn., junior, said. "The program has built a lot these last three years. Before three years ago no one knew about us; now, we have national respect."
The dancers also finished 11th in the Hip Hop competition.
Their ability to make the national championships year in and year out has taken its toll, according to team members. Long hours of endless dancing, cardiovascular training and repetition of their routines are in the job description for the dancers.
Taking each of those ingredients to the next level is how the team said they continually succeeded on the national stage.
Andrea Hill, Omaha, Neb., sophomore, said the consistency of the team's placing at nationals has not surprised her. She said the team worked on routines all summer and fall. Before the national championship, the team practiced seven hours a day for two weeks.
"Our dedication and loyalty to the team helps," Hill said. "We worked our butts off for nationals. We came back a week earlier than last year to practice. We practice as much if not more than other teams."
Kelly Cure, Bloomington, Minn, sophomore, said
that bruising, sweat-induced practices was the only way to stay ahead of the competition.
"Nationals practice is really intense. You feel like you can't move afterward. It's a marathon, it's a battle." Cure said.
Hill said she thought the
team was as close to perfect as possible in Orlando.
"We performed amazing," Hill said. "We did the best we possibly could with our routine. It's a great feeling to know that all your hard work paid off."

January 30,1884
Evolution became a popular topic in the 1880s and the 1890s. KU's fifth chancellor, Francis Huntington Snow, announced he would give a lecture series about evolution. Originally trained to be a congressionalist minister, Snow became a strong believer in evolution while still retaining his Christian beliefs.
"The god of the Bible and the god of nature are one," he said in June 1867.
During his first years as a science and mathematics teacher, Snow seemed to reject many of Darwin's ideas, but some of his sermons reflected otherwise.
The lectures Snow gave through the KU extension program were extremely popular. But with popularity also came scrutiny. He stood by his beliefs in both evolution and Christianity, denying attacks that he was an atheist.
"Evolution is fully in accordance with the scriptures and with Christianity," he said.
February 2.1916
A crowd of over 4,000
people gathered in 10-degree weather to welcome President Woodrow Wilson to Lawrence with the "Rock Chalk" chant.
KU students and faculty were excused from classes until 10:30 to hear the president speak. The crowd greeted him at the train station, where he spoke for about three minutes.
The short speech left a disappointed crowd of Lawrence residents. The headline in the Kansan the following morning read, "Wilson Only Smiled," and continued, "No Attempt Made to Tell of Preparedness Plan."
Wilson's preparedness plan was the topic of many of the speeches he gave across the western part of the nation. The plan promoted involvement in the U.S. Navy and Army because of what was happening in World War I. Wilson gave two speeches in Kansas that year, one in Topeka and one in Kansas City.

Bush addresses energy anxieties in speech
WASHINGTON — Trying to calm anxieties about soaring energy costs, President Bush is using his State of the Union address this week to focus on a package of energy of proposals aimed at bringing fuel-saving technologies out of the lab and into use.
Americans were hit with the biggest jump in energy prices in 15 years in 2005, and worries about the cost of gas and heating oil have damped spirits about the economy despite other recent encouraging signs.

The journey back home
Professor hired to help return parts of history
BY CATHERINE ODSON
codson@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The University of Kansas has hired an expert to oversee the return of Native American artifacts to their tribes.
The artifacts were formerly part of a Museum of Anthropology, now known as the Anthropological Research and Cultural Collections and have been stored in Spooner Hall since the museum closed in 2002 because of budget cuts.
Johnna Van Noy, New Braunfels, Texas, graduate student, was one student who raised concerns last spring about the well-being of the collection.
"We wanted the University to realize the resources they had in the collection," she said, citing poor storage and lack of funding as detrimental to the artifacts. "Students taking an interest in taking care of these collections really turned heads at the administrative level." Van Noy said.
Foor will assess the University's holdings of ethnographic goods, cultural and sacred goods not associated with burial rights.
The University hired Thomas Foor, professor emeritus of anthropology at the University of Montana, earlier this month to sort the artifacts.
The national Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, commonly referred to as NAGPRA, passed in 1990 requires full inventories of all Native American human remains and burial goods
Thomas Foor, professor emeritus of anthropology at the University of Montane, displays a pair of cotton thread moccasins with Cree glass beadwork. Foor said they were a great example of what is in the collection that was being cataloged for the Anthropological Research and Cultural Collections.
Von Noy said with this step, the University was on the way to doing what is right.

The University met statutory deadlines in 1993 and 1995, Mary Adair, interim director of the Anthropological Research and Cultural Collections said that under NAGPRA, over 750,000 Native American artifacts have been surveyed in efforts to reunite federally recognized tribes with remnants of their histories that had been held by museums.
Bobbi Rahder, lecturer in Indigenous Nation Studies, said hiring a NAGPRA coordinator would help the University better understand what artifacts the collection holds.
"It's a really positive step to providing better care of the collections." she said.
Rahder's students will meet with Foor and then possibly have the opportunity to work
The University's collection is pretty typical of all museums — lots of donations with little documentation, Rahder said.
Foor is working to overturn false, stereotyped classifications by looking for distinct design differences.
"The information available to us is always changing, so it's important to re-examine materials in light of what we know today," he said.
Foor's strategy for cataloging the items involves reviewing any paperwork accompanying the artifacts, including the original paperwork from the former owner.

After completing the inventory, the University will provide tribal governments with a summary of items that could be culturally significant.
Individual tribes will send representatives to determine which items should be returned to them.
require, said Michael Yellow Bird, director of the Indigenous Nations Studies program.
Getting a maximum number of tribes involved would help give the artifacts the constant care and attention they
The immense sacred value of some items requires them to receive attention and ceremonies that were ignored while they sat in the museum, he said.
There is "no way to ever store those collections that could ever be respectful," he said.

Basketball cheers and jeers
Cheers to the opening of the Booth Family Hall of Athletics. It was packed before the game.
Cheers to the KU fans. The energy in the fieldhouse was unusually high for a day game. The place was packed despite two straight losses.
Best line: "Last year I thought Joe McCray might turn out to be a good player, then he went and became a fat kid in the offseason."
Best cheer of the day. "Just like football."
Worst sign: "Kansas basketball, it's awesome baby." Dick Vitale was not in Allen Fieldhouse.
Best nickname: "Jack it up Jeremy" for sophomore guard Jeremy Case.
Cheers to freshman forward Julian Wright. He brought the house down with all three of his dunks.
Poor fan etiquette to the fan who shouted
"Missouri" as Christian Moody hit his second free throw.
Jeers to the ushers who took away students' signs before the game. Yeah, they might have been a bit inappropriate, but we are in college and there is some amendment that permits freedom of speech.
The Rock Chalk Chant began with 2:56 left in the game.

A 16-0 run in the first half put the game out of reach. It was fueled by strong defensive play and clutch three-point shooting. Sophomore guard Russell Robinson dominated that stretch and scored eight of the 16 points.

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Every year as a girl, Carol To兰 rushed to the television to watch the Miss America pageant. She never imagined that one day she would be participating in competitions that would lead her down a similar path.
Toland, Iola graduate student, started to first compete as a freshman at the University of Kansas. While she is currently taking a break from competing to focus on graduate school, she has not ruled out the possibility of contending again. Toland said the amount of work and time commitment needed to perform well at the events could be exhausting.
Toland is among a handful of KU students who compete in beauty pageants. The contestants are judged from everything from physical fitness, community service activities to their critical platform idea. The platform is where they state a position on a significant issue in society. Most of the contestants have to change many of the aspects in their daily lives.
"The local competitions can be very competitive," Toland said. "I have seen girls compete all season long to win a title and not win a single competition. It can be a tough experience."
Tami Dreitz, Plains senior, who won the title of Miss Cheney Lake for the state of Kansas in Oct., knows the toll the beauty pageant circuit can take on participants.
"You can't have junk food, you have to take care of your body and you have to be dedicated to your platform issue," Dreitz said. "You can't just show up and pretend to be interested in helping people."
The contestants invest in many ways in every competition. Contestants delve into finances as well as emotional and physical investments to participate in pageants.
"It takes a lot of money to compete in these pageants; you pay for everything yourself,"
Dreitz said. "You pay for wardrobe, coaches; it can all add up very quickly."
Dreitz said the entire pageant system was made up of volunteers. Without community support and sponsorship from local businesses, many of the pageants could not take place.
Toland and Dreitz both said that the competitions had made them better people and would help them later in life. Dreizt said that even as difficult and uncomfortable as the swimsuit portion of the event is, she could see a benefit in it.
"It would be difficult for anyone to stand up there and do that," she said. "But the self confidence that I have gained from competing is invaluable and will help in my future career."
Toland also said she had used the competitions as a tool to help her learn how to separate herself in the job market.
"The biggest lessons I have learned are how to present myself in person as well as how to present myself on paper," she said. "In interview settings, that past experience can really help you."
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Dreitz and Toland both know the stereotypes that exist of participants in the events, and they are quick to dismiss those preconceived ideas.
Dreitz encourages any skeptics to visit a pageant.
"It is hard for people to see past the image of pageant girl, but it's been amazing how many wonderful and supportive friends I have met through the pageant system." Toland said. "It's nothing like the movies or anything like that."
"I encourage people to come out and see how talented many of the contestants are. Just come once and it will change your outlook," she said.

Juveniles' sex life privacy in jeopardy
WICHITA - A federal lawsuit over Kansas Attorneys General Phill Kline's opinion requiring health care providers to report underage sex between consenting youths could help determine how much privacy adolescents have when it comes to their sex lives.
The Center for Reproductive Rights, a New York advocacy group, sued in 2003, contending that forced reporting of consensual sex discourages adolescents from seeking counseling or medical treatment.
On Monday, the federal civil rights case comes to trial before U.S. District Judge J. Thomas Marten in Wichita.
The issues in the case could set a legal precedent across the nation because federal courts have not dealt much with the rights of adolescents to informational privacy, said Bonnie Scott Jones, attorney for the Center
for Reproductive Rights.
In July 2005, Kline issued an opinion that said the state's 1982 reporting statue requires doctors, nurses, psychiatrists, social workers and others to report underage sex, even if it is consensual. He contended the reporting was required because such sex inherently involves abuse of a child.
Kansas argued before the appeals court that children have no right to privacy about information about their consensual sexual activity because sex involving someone under 16 is illegal in Kansas.
Kline's opinion differed from one issued in 1992 by one of his predecessors, Robert Stephan, who said health care professionals had some discretion in whether to report sexual activity.

Freshman Brandon Rush and Nebraska's Jason Dourisseau fell on the ground while diving for a loose ball. Julian Wright, also involved in the mess, man aged to stay on his feet. The Jayhawks managed to hold the Huskers' to only 54 points.
Texas best in Kansan Big 12 Power Rankings
Editor's Note: The Kansan Big 12 Power Rankings are voted on by Ryan Colaianni and Daniel Berk, Kansas men's basketball writers, as well as Eric Sorrentino, sports editor, and Erick R. Schmidt, associate sports editor.
The men's power rankings open up the spring semester the same way the fall semester ended in football — with Texas atop the polls. The Longhorns have had difficult non-conference games against No. 12 Virginia, No. 23 Iowa, No. 1 Duke, No. 4 Memphis and No. 3 Villa-nova. They're still 16-2 and the only team in the conference that hasn't lost a Big 12 game.
Kansas starts the power rankings in the upper half of the conference after its 42-point victory against Nebraska on Saturday.
The Jayhawks are now 2-2 in conference play and will turn their focus to Texas A&M on Wednesday.
Kansas State earned the third spot this week, after its threegame winning streak against Kansas, Texas A&M and Missouri. The Wildcats have to go on the road for their next two games against Colorado and Baylor.
The Bears have yet to win a game and have lost by an average of 22 points. The four conference games they have played have not been competitive.
By no means are these rankings set in stone. Ten of the 12 teams in the conference are within one game of each other.

Hawkins
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
Sophomore guard Russell Robinson, who has started all 17 games this season, is usually the player responsible for guarding Hawkins in practice. He said going against Hawkins has made his game stronger.
"He helps a lot because he is a great on-the-ball defender," Robinson said. "He gets me game ready. Jeff is a good player and I think this is good for him because he hasn't had that good of a game the last two games."
Hawkins' day ended early in the second half when the game was well in
control. When it ended, Hawkins was two points off his career best of 19 and had his second career 5-of-5 game from three-point distance. The other came last year against Baylor.
Hawkins is one of three seniors on the roster, along with forward Christian Moody and guard Stephen Vinson. Hawkins registered the most minutes of those three seniors against Nebraska
"As a senior you have to talk to your teammates and keep everybody's head on the same page," Hawkins said. "You have to keep everybody's spirits up and not let them get down, and that's what I try to do."

MONDAY. JANUARY 23, 2006
HOROSCOPES
ARIES (March 21-Agil 19) *★★★*
What you think will happen might not. Visualize, but don't take another's word as absolute. In fact, you could be irritated if you depend on someone too much. Act and be the independent Aries we all know.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ★★★★ INITIATION could be building, as you might feel that you are running around chasing your tail. You could prevent feeling a bit crazed by stopping and sorting through your plans and priorities. Curb your temper, if possible.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) *** Dive into your work or a project. Your mind could easily drift, causing a mistake or flub-up of some kind. Concentrate and complete as much as you can. A walk or some exercise midday could eliminate stress. A more defined schedule could help your tension level.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) ★★★★
Deal with others directly. Someone who usually gives you good information could be quite confusing. A friend pushes you, which helps your creativity bubble up. Be happy with a child or loved one.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) *★★ You might want to back off rather than trigger someone. You could be more playful than others would like. If you take a strong stand right now, you could find yourself in the middle of controversy.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ******
You might be on the phone more than you'd like as you integrate new information. You could be uncomfortable with what someone shares. You need to get your own facts and be less dependent on others.
SUROPJU (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★★★☆
You have get-up-and-go, but at the same time, you could find that others are very contentious. Are they envious? You might not have the answer, but you will certainly hear from others, and not always in a pleasant way.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ★★★ Risk-taking could backfire, putting you in a very uncomfortable position. You might want to rethink a decision. A partner or associate could become quite difficult if pushed. Be the diplomatic Libra.
Caleb Goellner/KANSAN
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ★★★ The less said, the luckier you will be. Sometimes being discreet and not being out there works better. Be ready to take a lesson in diplomacy. You will like the end results. Your energy might overwhelm others.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)★★★
**You zero in on long-term desires,
as you are far more up to snuff than
you have been in a long time. Listen
to what is being shared, and work
through opinions. You aren't always
right, you know.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★
Pressure builds. Others expect you to walk your talk. Will you? Can you? You might be able to do what many cannot. Others respond to what you say. In fact, you get a lot of praise from others.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★★☆
You need to take the high road, especially as others are triggered. You will see that a difference of opinion is beneficial to everyone involved. Make calls and take a project off the top shelf. You'll get a lot done, quickly.

Community takes part in Chinese New Year

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The Chinese Students and Scholars Friendship Association shared a Chinese tradition with a crowd of over 300 people Saturday night at its annual Chinese
New Year show at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
The show featured CSSFA and University and Lawrence community members in a 13 act show. The show included traditional music, martial arts, singing, skits and even a fashion show.

On a smaller scale, CSSPA brought that celebration to the University Saturday night.
In attendance were not only some of the over 200 members of the club, but also members of the University, Lawrence and Kansas City communities.
The occasion was eclectic in all senses. Red New Year charms that bring luck and happiness hung from the doors and were
carried throughout the auditorium by those in attendance.
People in bright-colored, traditional clothing moved in and out of the auditorium, pausing to chat and watch the performances and children playing in the aisles with plastic dinosaurs.
with modern elements, such as references to Monica and Chandler in the television show "Friends" and Kate Winslet and Leonardo Dicaprio's characters "flying" at the bow of the Titanic to Celine Dion's popular theme song. A dinner of special food for the Chinese New Year followed the performances, said Ji Hong, Wuxi sophomore and CSSFA webmaster. The dinner included dumplings and oolong tea, a mix of red and black tea. Red is the symbol for happiness and good luck in the New Year, Hong said.
Lei Zhang, a researcher in the chemistry department, attended with his family. Zhang's wife, Rongti Li, said she is from Shandong and enjoyed the show.
The martial arts act showed demonstrations not only from China, but Japan, Brazil and Korea.
One of the skits incorporated a traditional Chinese story called "Journey to the West"

WAR IN IRAQ
ABC's anchor, cameraman seriously injured in Iraq
DAVID BAUDER
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — ABC "World News Tonight" co-anchor Bob Woodruff and a cameraman were seriously injured Sunday when the Iraqi Army vehicle they were traveling in was attacked with an explosive device.
Both journalist suffered head injuries, and Woodruff also has broken bones. They were in stable condition following surgery at a U.S. military hospital in Iraq, and due to be evacuated to medical facilities in Germany, probably overnight, said ABC News President David Westin.
"We take this as good news, but the next few days will be critical." Westin said.
Woodruff and Doug Vogt, an award-winning cameraman, were embedded with the 4th Infantry Division and traveling
in a convoy with U.S. and Iraqi troops near Taji, about 12 miles north of Baghdad.
They were wearing body armor and helmets but were standing up in the hatch of the mechanized vehicle when the device exploded, exposing them to shrapnel. An Iraqi soldier was also hurt in the explosion.
ABC said the men were in the Iraqi vehicle considered less secure than U.S. military equipment — to get the perspective of the Iraqi military. They were aware the Iraqi forces are the frequent targets of insurgent attacks, the network said.
"He wanted to get out and report the story and not be locked in and taking information from someone else who was experiencing it," ABC senior producer Kate Felsen said.
She said she spoke with Woodruff and Vogt after the attack.
"Doug was conscious, and I was able to reassure him we were getting them care. I spoke to Bob also and walked with them to the helicopter," Felsen said
The U.S. military confirmed that Woodruff and Vogt were injured in the midday attack and said an investigation is under way.
Woodruff, a father of four, has been at ABC News since 1996 He grew up in Michigan and became a corporate lawyer in New
York, but changed fields soon after a stint teaching law in Beijing in 1989 and helping CBS News during the Tiananmen Square uprising.
NBC "Nightly News" anchor Brian Williams said he had been in touch with Woodruff's family and is praying for the families of both men.
"There is no way to cover the story in Iraq without exposure to danger," he said.

Crystal Kemp, Jayhawk forward, gaurds Cowgirl Amanda Foster during the Sunday game against Oklahoma State. Kemp led the lady Jayhawks' defense with one block, one steal, and 11 defensive rebounds.

KEMP
Kemp scored her points on only eight shots from the field and a perfect nine-for-nine mark from the free-throw stripe.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
She secured her sixth double-double of the season two minutes into the second half.
Despite the impressive numbers, it wasn't anything out of the ordinary for Kemp.
Just another performance she has delivered on a regular basis this season.
The Topeka native ranks in the top 10 of several Big 12 Conference categories this season, including scoring and rebounding.
MONDAY JANUARY 23. 2006
Kemp is second in the conference in scoring, only twenteths of a point behind Baylor's Sophia Young, last year's most valuable player in the Final Four.
Her performance this season, especially in conference play, has sparked discussion that this might be the best stretch of Kemp's career.
"I would say so," Kemp said.
"My teammates are finding me and they're giving me the confidence to go out there and play strong."

DEFENSE
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
The Jayhawks snapped a three-game losing streak with the victory and their 13-3 record is the most wins by a Kansas team since 1999.
Offensively, the Jayhawks relied once again on Crystal Kemp. After being named the Big 12 Player of the Week during both December and January, she has consistently drawn double-teams from opponents.
Yesterday was no different as the Cowgirls used a 2-3 zone defense to make sure somebody was pushing or bumping into Kemp at all

Last season Kemp's scoring average decreased during conference play, but it has gone up this year, and increased to 20 points per game after she scored 25 yesterday.
"She's an awfully strong kid, she can take that pretty well." Henrickson said.
The zone defense allowed Kemp to find teammates open for three-pointers after she got the ball inside.
times.
"My teammates have done a good job of letting me know they're open," Kemp said. "I've become a better passer out of the double team."
Henrickson watched her team struggle early against
the zone, and after falling behind 15-7 she called a time-out. During the break, she reemphasized the lessons from the week's practices.
"All this week in practice we worked on the zone." Hallman said. "Once we got the hang of what they were trying to do, we executed."
The team won't have much time to enjoy the victory. Wednesday the Jayhawks travel to Manhattan to take on Kansas State, followed by a Saturday road game against defending national champion Baylor.

SWIMMING
Winter training reveals strengths
BY BETTY KASPAR
bkaspar@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
The difference for junior Jenny Short is the preparation of the women's swimming and diving team.
Over winter break, the team went through training camp in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. with greater intensity than in past years. Instead of just practicing once a day, the team practiced twice a day. The purpose of the camp was to get the athletes to their highest level of fitness and to strengthen their endurance
"I think that when you leave your own home it takes you out of your little comfort zone," she said. "We were pushed at a different level and had rigorous training. By tearing you down, it just builds you back up when you get home and you get back into a schedule."
"Coming out of the training camp people are really tired and sore, but I think that we showed amazing resilience to it because we did so well for how tired we were," senior co-captain Emily Rusch said. "I was really impressed with how everyone swam."
the team became extremely fit. The next goal will be to become faster as they develop the endurance to swim longer. The training did something else: it helped bring the team closer together.
"We got to come together as a team because we spent a lot of time together. We had a team bonding activity where we all said what we appreciated about everyone and became closer as a whole," senior co-captain Gina Gnatzig said.
Kansas coach Clark Campbell said he felt as though the training camp had been a success because
Campbell said he credited the progress the team made this year to senior leadership.
"I attribute a lot of this to the captains and our seniors—they have been great leaders this year. We feel like on our team we don't have any freshmen. They are starting their second semester at school, but they have grown up really quick and I feel it is because of upper classmen leadership," Campbell said. The freshman have been able to feel the support from the upperclassmen. They have been performing at a high level and are some of the fastest players on the team.
Freshmen Ashley Leidigh and Danielle Herrmann set new school records this season in the 100-meter Butterfly and the 100-meter Breaststroke events.
Leidigh said the seniors kept
"They are always there and they are always positive. They know it is really tough for us so they give us a lot of encouragement," Leidigh said.
the team on task and have made the adjustment from high school to college go smoothly.
The team participated in two meets over break. Kansas finished third in the Florida International Relays and beat Nebraska to become 2-0 in the Big 12 Conference. Fatigue had an effect on their times, but the swimmers were still able to compete at a level that allowed them to do well.
"I was really tired and I didn't put up the best times," Leidigh said. "I still swam well, but I could have swam faster. It was harder to race because I was exhausted."
Campbell said he was confident in his team and the progress it has made over winter break. "We're plugging right along and we're definitely doing the things on a daily basis that we have to do to be a great team. I just believe that before you are great you have to be consistently good." Campbell said.
The swimming team will be in action again when it faces Drury on Jan. 27 in Lawrence.

Students must keep online data secure
A few safety precautions go without saying for students in college. Things like parking your car in a well-lit area or not bringing your real ID along with your fake one when going to the bars.
Now, added to that list, is maintaining a respectable Facebook profile.
Students cannot afford to be naive about who has access to their profile and the possible consequences of posting anything incriminating. Anyone with a.edu e-mail address has access, which can include alumni working at companies who hire recent graduates as well as KU staff, faculty and administrators.
According to the Web site's privacy policy, Facebook.com "may be required to disclose customer information pursuant to lawful requests, such as subpoenas or court orders, or in compliance with applicable laws." Students at Penn State learned about this policy the hard way when campus police identified and apprehended 50 students who rushed the field after their team beat Ohio State, because students were pictured in a Facebook group.
A University of Oklahoma student underwent an investigation by the Secret Service in November after posting "We could all donate a dollar and raise millions of dollars to hire an assassin to kill the president and replace him with a monkey."
While these case are extremely
Issue: Wild and crazy Facebook.com profiles
Stance: Students must be careful about what they post online.
First of all, use the security features that are available on the Web site. This allows you to control who can search for you and what they can see in your profile. Second, refrain from posting that "hilarious" picture of yourself holding a joint and drinking a forty, especially if you're under age. And finally, it's not necessary to make information like phone numbers, home addresses or course schedules available.
unfortunate and an encroachment upon civil liberties, they also demonstrate the increasing use of surveillance in our society that has become a fact of life. Students need to take matters into their own hands.
Malinda Osbourne for the editorial board
Let's put it this way. If "Beer" and "Mary Jane" can join Facebook, an ambitious, middle-aged stalker could do the same. Your resulting Facebook profile may not seem as colorful or self-expressive, but it's a lot better than not getting that job because you had to join the "Do Drugs and Have Sex With Random People" group.
Moore has support
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
and in record numbers.
Alissa Bauer's editorializing in her recent report of Representative Dennis Moore's visit to campus is unwarranted and inaccurate. Student support for the Democratic Party isn't merely a "perception" as she asserts. The fact that a majority of students at the University of Kansas support the Democratic Party is incontrovertible.
While the Congressman enjoys wide support from students of a diverse background at the University,including Democrats and Republicans alike, he will always have detractors like Lawrence's Anarchist group, Solidarity,but they don't speak for the University or its Student Population.
In the previous election, every student neighborhood showed its overwhelming support not only for the Democratic Party, but for Moore as well.

be funny, but the inept actions of our state board of education is doing its best to make it a punch line.
We all know of the evolution debate. Enough trees have died to make us aware that we should realize faith and science operate on different premises. That doesn't necessarily make one right or one wrong. It just means that only one meets the criteria for a science class.
The failure of the BOE is more than primordial pools and pasta deities. It is the BOE's repeated choice of politics over children that I find the most disturbing.
The same 6-4 majority that made us part of Leno's monologue also hired Bob Corkins as the state education commissioner in October. He's the first person to hold this position in the last 80 years without serving as a superintendent first. He's never been a principal or a teacher. His education experience is in operating very small, conservative think tanks.
This background was deemed worthy enough for Kansas taxpayers to pay his $140,000 a year salary, which is considerably more than even
So why was a man with virtually no education and management experience hired?
In an article published by the Johnson County Sun, Sen. John Vratil (R-Leawood), vice chairman of the Senate Education Committee, said the appointment seemed "sort of like making Saddam Hussein president of the United States."
We should be ashamed that someone so unqualified was given the job to ensure the future for the children in Kansas.
I agree we need change in our school system that is more than dollars and cents, but denying the necessity of money is ludicrous. Before any real progress can be made, we need qualified people who want to improve education.

During the president's visit to Manhattan on Jan. 23, a KSU student did something that not everyone in the world was able to do: She questioned her leader.
According to the Los Angeles Times, the question was "Recently, $12.7 billion was cut from education, and I was just wondering, how is that supposed to help our futures?"
The president responded as if he were confused, and it seemed that he couldn't hear the question. It wasn't until after the student repeated her question that she got an answer that neither she nor the rest of
NEIL SPECTOR opinion@kansan.com the audience expected.
the audience expected.
The same Times article reported that President Bush responded by saying, "I think what we did was reform the student-loan program. We're not cutting money out of it. In other words, people aren't going to be cut off the program. We're just making sure it works better."
When I realized that this was the intention of the president, I had to laugh.
I laughed because the new plan does more than just cut the budget for federal student loans; it also increases the interest rates of current loans. How is this making things better?
Through this budget cut, funds are not only being taken away from student loans but also from single mothers and foster parents, among other people. How can the president live with himself knowing that he is providing a tax break for people who have an annual income of more than $1 million? Does he know that there are many other people out there who have a greater need for that money? If he did, this plan would not exist.
This whole arrangement
is not smart at all. It has the sole intention of taking from the needy and giving to the rich. Where is the justice in that? Why take away from the people who have legitimate needs while others who have more than enough receive a break?
George Bush is in his second term and he is doing things that prove to everyone that he has nothing to lose. Only a President with nothing to lose could support such a plan, because he no longer needs the support of the American people. If he did, a plan like this would be nowhere on his radar.

President George W. Bush speaks to a crowd of about 9,500 Monday at Kansas State University's Bramlage Coliseum while Sens. Pat Roberts (R-Kan.) and Sam Brownback (R-Kan.) look on. He discussed the War on Terror and justified his controversial decision to tap phone conversations between U.S. citizens and alleged al-Qaeda operatives.

KANSAN SENSIOR STAFF WRITE
MANHATTAN — During a speech at Kansas State University Monday, President George W. Bush emphasized that good intelligence is necessary for the defending of the country, a top priority after Sept. 11.
Bush talked about staying
ahead in the War on Terror in front of 9,500 students, faculty, guests and army personnel from Fort Riley in K-State's Bramlage Coliseum.
His remarks come during a time when Bush is under fire for using wiretaps to listen to conversations between alleged al-Qaeda operatives and people in the United States. Bush defended his decisions, saying he
acted within the law.
when he entered the arena. The crowd did "the wave" and included several students who lined up lettered shirts that read "K-S-U (heart)-B-U-S-H." But not everyone in attendance was supportive of the president, and protestors were present alongside the line of people waiting to enter the coliseum.

"If they're making a phone call into the U.S., we want to know why," Bush said. "If I wanted to break the law, why do you think I was briefing Congress?"
He went on to say "We need good intelligence to locate the dark corners of the world in these people's minds."
Bush received a long applause from the energetic crowd
KU lacks presidential appearances
BY JOHN JORDAN
jjordan@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR SCORE WRITER
The last time an active president came to Lawrence — not the University — was when Woodrow Wilson came to drum up support for World War I 90 years ago.
MANHATTAN President Bush's trip to Kansas State University hits a sore spot for KU speech programmers: While no acting president has ever spoken at the University of Kansas, K-State has had three in the past 36 years.
At K-State, Richard Nixon spoke in 1970, Ronald Reagan in 1982, and Bush on Monday.
Jonathan Earle, associate director of programming for the Dole institute of Politics, said he hoped to end the shutout in presidential lectures.
"This has always bothered me as a KU person," Earle said. "But our days of being skunked are over."
The history of the Landon Lecture Series, which has
been around since 1966, is what has attracted presidential speakers to K-State, said Charles Reagan, chairman of the lecture series.
Also, Earle said K-State having Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kan.) as an alumnus helped bring Bush to Manhattan.
With the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics now at the University, Earle said he was confident the University would attract a sitting president.
The University has had its fair share of presidents speak before or after taking office. Bill Clinton spoke in 2004, Jimmy Carter came for the dedication of the Dole Institute in 2003, Gerald Ford spoke in 1978, George H.W. Bush came while he was CIA director in 1976, and John F. Kennedy spoke in 1957.
Allie Moore, a K-State sophomore from Oberlin, said everyone should get to see a president.
"It's unfortunate they can't share this experience," she said of KU students.

Student lobbyists aim to change lease laws
BY NICOLE KELLEY
nkelley@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
For sometenants, dealing with landlords can be a nightmare. From the confusing wording of leases to losing most of your security deposit for unknown reasons, renting in a college town can be a daunting task.
The bill would create uniform lease renewal rules for landlords that are not addressed in the current law. Landlords would have to give their tenants adequate time and notice of the lease renewal deadline. Landlords
But soon leasing in Lawrence may become easier if the Kansas Legislature passes a new bill created by the Student Legislature Awareness Board, a KU student group that lobbies the state legislature on student-related issues. The bill is aimed at making the Kansas Residential Landlord and Tenant Act less confusing.
The bill addresses lease renewal clauses. The clauses require renters to tell landlords they want to opt out of their leases before a certain date to keep their leases from automatically being renewed.
would also have the responsibility to make sure the renters are aware of the clause in the lease before it is signed.
The bill would also add new guidelines that require landlords to give renters the option for a walk-through with their landlords one week prior to the move-out date. Tenants would then be aware of the items that could be deducted from their security deposit, giving them time to fix the problems.
But Ted Kuether, property manager of Midwest Property Management, said a bill such as this could hurt every landlord in Kansas. He said that landlords would have a harder time recovering money lost because of damage caused by renters.
Josh Bender, Sterling senior and legislative director of SLAB, said the bill would benefit renters by allowing them to know up front what's coming with lease renewals and check-out.
"I definitely think the thought behind it is well-intended, but I think it's too extreme and too broad," Kuether said. "It's not focusing on the problem enough. It's just kind of glazing over it. I don't think it's an effective solution."
Bender said that he was willing to comprise with landlords and that any landlord who was currently acting in good faith wouldn't even realize the law had changed.
Bender has been working with Sen. Marci Francisco (D-Lawrence) to get the bill ready for its committee review. Francisco said she had some initial concerns about the specific language they were proposing and whether some points were a duplication of the existing act.
"I think it's going to-bring up an interesting discussion," Francisco said. "I think there will be an amendment rather than the bill being passed as presented."
She encouraged students who have had bad experiences to read the bill and contact their state representatives to tell their stories so the legislature could make sure that the issues the bill was addressing actually existed.
The bill is now waiting in the hands of the judiciary committee. A date has not yet been set for committee hearings.

The facade includes large windows and decorative woodwork. In the foreground, there are two large sculptures by Solomon R.

Building community one haircut at a time
Da Shop works to provide more than a great haircut
ALL SINCE 1945

Le'Ona Lytes, 16-year-old Lawrence resident, gets her hair dried in the mural room of Da Shop. The hair salon is the only African-American owned, downtown Lawrence business.
STORY AND PHOTOS BY JARED SOARES
From the outside, Da Shop,
1109 Massachusetts St., looks like
a barbershop and salon that only
caters toward African Americans.
"We do specialize in black hair, but we do all types of hair and not many people know that," said Janine Colter, stylist and proprietor of the only African-American-owned downtown Lawrence business. What has been Da Shop's main concern since it opened in the
spring of 1999 is providing quality haircuts in a friendly environment
"I'm a doctor man. They come to me to get healed; everybody feels better once they get a cut from me," said Tim Nelson, a barber at the shop, who goes by Nellie.
Da Shop has four barber chairs but only two employees, Colter and Nellie.
The atmosphere of the shop is one that emits a vibe of community that transcends skin pigment. The sounds of the Kansas City, Mo. radio station Hot 103 Jamz fills the air of Da Shop as
waiting customers create a cacophony of conversation from current events to high school football. Regulars often visit during lunch breaks. Da Shop specializes in haircuts, but the downtown Lawrence business offers a venue for fellowship with a friendly neighborhood feel.
"I feel blessed that we have this central location, it's a place where people can fellowship and have a voice," Colter said.

Provost candidate visits campus
BY MELINA RICKETTS
mrickets@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The first of five candidates for KU provost, Virginia Sapiro, spent much of her speech Monday focusing on two themes: education as the center of a public research university and collective responsibility.
The University of Kansas is in the process of interviewing candidates to replace Provost David Shulenburger. In September, Shulenburger announced his retirement as provost, effective this summer.
The provost search committee announced Sapiro, 54, as the first candidate on Thursday.
She currently serves as interim provost at the University of Wisconsin, as well as vice chancellor for academic affairs and associate vice chancellor for teaching and learning.
Addressing a 200-person crowd of mostly faculty and administrators at the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics, Sapiro said public universities were going through a difficult time because states were simultaneously increasing expectations and decreasing funding.
She said public universities had
Robert J. Dole

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
to hold themselves accountable for providing public access to education in a way that private universities didn't.
"We are society's primary source of knowledge and maybe, upon occasion, if we're lucky, wisdom," Sapiro said.
She said that although she believed excellence was a collective responsibility, people had different degrees of personal responsibility.
Virginia Sapiro, KU provost finalist, shares with faculty members her ideas on what a public research university should be at the Dole Institute of Politics Monday. Sapiro is the first of five finalists announced by the provost search committee.
She stressed the need for diverse approaches to research, pointing out that if its goal was finding out what wasn't known, then increasing the diversity of perspectives would improve the odds of reaching that goal.
"Our complexity and diversity is both our challenge and our opportunity." she said.
Following her speech, Sapiro responded to questions on topics ranging from compensating for a lack of state funding to the invasion of political issues on academia.
She said she was surprised that the state was not contributing more to help with the $168.5 million in deferred maintenance at the University.
With only a touch of humor, she remarked that having shelter for students to study was a basic educational need — a need that
includes having "both the building and the roof."
When asked about an issue recently raised in the news in which an alumni group at UCLA reportedly paid students to spy on left-wing professors, she responded that it was "a grotesque misjudgment of what a university needs to be" and that it "put a chilling effect on discussion."
Jeff Aube, professor of medicinal chemistry and chairman of the provost search committee, said, "I think we're off to a great start. This is the first of a very qualified string of candidates and I'm looking forward to seeing the rest."
The provost search committee will release the name of the next candidate on Jan. 30.

SPEAKER
Intelligent design supporter explains scientific theory
BY CATHERINE ODSON
codson@kansan.org
KANSAN STaff WRITE
Insistent, assertive questions nagged Monday night's speaker, who felt his explanation of the scientific evidence of intelligent design fell upon "deaf ears."
Audience members awarded both applause and laughter to the questioners who stepped publicly into the controversy over intelligent design in Kansas.
William A. Dembski, the Carl F. H. Henry Professor of Science and Theology at Southern Seminary in Louisville, Ky., said in his speech at the Lied Center that gaps in the scientific story of evolution led toward a still-developing theory of intelligent design.
"Darwin was a great man," Dembski said. "His theory was a great idea. And yet, it's not the whole story."
Mark Brown, campus director for Campus Crusade for Christ, said his organization wanted to host a discussion on intelligent design because of the large amount of misinformation circulating about the theory.
"There is an academic background behind it," he said. "It's not just theology masquerading as science."
Brown said truth should be a friend to both science and religion and that neither side should exclude concepts from the other side.
"Scientists shouldn't be scared of divine intervention in the natural world," he said.
Evolution theory is "a window into biological history," Dembski said. But the real explanation derives from the question, "What is design?"
From an initial purpose, a designer formulates a plan to produce the design, a process Dembski said applied to everything from space shuttles to cake.
Intelligent design adheres to the same concepts as any other design. Dembski defines intelligent design as "the study of patterns in nature that are best explained as the result of intelligence."
Fred Pawlicki, Lied Center associate director, estimated more than 1,200 people attended the lecture. The Lied Center evaluates events at its facility by how the audience
"C
"Scientists shouldn't be scared of divine intervention in the natural wold."
Mark Brown Campus director for Camus Crusade for Christ
reacts, he said. In this case, the audience seemed to be particularly engaged — even bursting into laughter at both questions and answers.
"I thought that this speaker was quite logical." Pawliki said. "People wanted to hear what he said."
Despite the hour-long lecture and subsequent discussion, at least one student still felt Dembski didn't answer many of the questions about intelligent design that the audience had.
"I'm just not sure that he presented any proof that intelligent design works," Lauren Tice, Overland Park sophomore, said. "He didn't convince me."

Death prompts look at greek safety
OKLAHOMA CITY — The death of a University of Oklahoma fraternity member at a Stillwater, Okla., party has brought scrutiny of the safety measures of predominantly black Greek-lettered organizations.
Paul Shanor, a member of Alpha Phi Alpha's OU chapter, died Jan. 15 after he was shot at a Holiday Inn in Stillwater, Okla. Three others were injured.
Two men arrested in the crime were not students of any university or fraternity members, police said.
The tragedy reflects violence in society, but not Alpha Phi Alpha, said Jonathan Easter, an OU graduate from Oklahoma City.
"This is a random occurrence that happens around the country very frequently at many different venues other than black fraternities." Easter said.
Oklahoma State University is temporarily banning campus parties hosted by Pan-Hellenic groups. It is the second ban in 18 months.
The moratorium should not last long while administrators study ways to make events safer, Oklahoma State University spokesman Gary Shutt said.

No great stars just solid teamwork
MICHAEL PHILLIPS
MPHILLIPS@KANSAN.COM
AMES, Iowa — What is it with kids these days, anywav?
The Jayhawks rolled over Iowa State 95-85 Saturday, not with a superstar performance, but with five players in double figures.
The team effort stands in contrast to today's generally accepted style of play, which involves one player scoring the points, blocking the shots, running the offense and banging his chest.
Outside of Julian Wright's early dunks, SportsCenter must have had to comb the game tape multiple times to find enough material for the highlight reel.
Don't these guys watch television? Don't they know the surest way to fame is to score 81 points like NBA superstar Kobe Bryant, defy triple-teams and knock down three-pointers that have to cross time zones?
"I don't think so. I can barely see myself scoring 50," freshman guard Brandon Rush ioked.
Rush is the biggest offender of them all. As a late addition to the team, he was supposed to lead the Jayhawks to a title before bolting to the NBA. Analysts guessed that Kansas coach Bill Self would have to restrain him from being trigger happy.
Of course, Rush also recognizes what a powerful duo he has in sophomore guard Russell Robinson and freshman guard Mario Chalmers.
Instead, the coach punishes Rush with time running on the treadmill every time he *doesn't* shoot the ball.
Chalmers scored a whisper-quiet 21 points to lead all Jahawks on Saturday. Neither him nor Rush ran special patterns in the offense or counted on picks set especially for them. Instead, they spread the court, started the ball in the center and passed to the outside whenever a shot became available.
"You want to try to force the issue, but not force the issue, basically." Robinson said. "You want to attack, but not get out of control."
Robinson was as close to an indispensable player as the Jayhawks had. Self faced a decision when Robinson drew his second foul early in the first half. He decided to sit the leading scorer at that point.
"I knew we were rolling the dice a little bit, but it was worth the risk." Self said.
Not many coaches have the luxury of sitting the best player of the day and knowing another will step up, but Self isn't most coaches.
Instead of going with the hot hand or picking two or three players to carry the team, he has allowed 10 players to share the load. When it backfires, it looks clumsy and uncoordinated; when it works, it's a throwback to when games were won with bounce passing and tempo instead of thunder dunks and shoe deals.
The question before the season was if Self could find enough time for three McDonald's All-Americans. Two numbers Saturday provided us with the answer.
The first number is eight: the number of Jayhawks who played double-digit minutes. The second is zero: the number of Jayhawks who whined about their playing time after the game.
That will never fly in the NBA, but for this team it might just be the winning formula.

MEN'S BASKETBALL: 95-85
KU guards effective in win

KANSAN SENior, SPORTWRITER
AMES, Iowa — Russell Robinson sat on the bench and watched after he picked up his second foul with 7:58 remaining in the first half of Saturday's game against Iowa State.
Kansas led by 10 at the time. With the sophomore guard on the bench, Iowa State cut the Kansas lead to three by half-time.
Kansas coach Bill Self left Robinson on the bench despite the Cyclones' comeback.
"Do you sub him in with two minutes left in the half and risk him getting a foul with two minutes?" Self said. "I knew we were rolling the dice."
Robinson re-entered the game to start the second half and helped the Jayhawks go on a 17-3 run, which led them to a 95-85 victory. Kansas never trailed in the game.
The gamble paid off.
Robinson scored 15 of his 18 points in the second half,but as he sat on the bench he thought about getting back into the
"The second half, he was great," Self said of Robinson. "He keyed our run in the second half to get us off to a pretty good start."
"I just knew you can't win or lose the game in the first half," Robinson said. "I knew we had to learn from it and come out in the second half with a lot of energy and I think we did that."
rhythm of the game.
"He helps relieve pressure a lot on me and Mario, and he is starting to become a real good scorer." Rush said. "He was just ready to get back out there. He was pretty mad about getting the two fouls and having to sit on the bench."
Freshman guard Brandon Rush said he had been nervous in the first half when Iowa State went on its run. He also knew there was another half to play and that Robinson would be rested to start the second half.
LANSAS 1 1
Kansas went on its secondhalf run by forcing turnovers on defense and effectively passing on offense.
On one possession, freshman guard Mario Chalmers stole the ball and took it down the court himself. He leaned into an Iowa State defender to draw the foul and still managed to convert the basket for an opportunity for a three-point play. Chalmers pumped his fist in celebration after he made the layup.

Richardson, who ated last ye Ritch P. Jayhawks must find someone new to squat behind the plate. "That's bit hole have our club now." Price s
the catcher's position. "We lost a player that's basically played every inning of every game and was an impact player for us."
Of the Jayhawks' 64 games last season, Richardson started 61 of them. His 19 doubles led the team and the 45 runs he drove in tied for the second most of any Kansas batter. Given 463 chances, Richardson tallied just 10 errors.
Losing the two-year starter leaves a rather sizable hole, but Price has a plan.
Two of them, actually.
Plan one: freshman Buck Afenir
Plan two: junior Dylan Parzyk.
Almost identical in height and weight, Afenir and Parzyk bring a lot to the table in terms of providing a solid backstop.
"It's a huge thought," Afenir said of taking over at catcher. "I've heard a lot about Sean Richardson. He's from where I'm from, so I know a lot about him."
Senior pitcher Kodiak Quick, likely the No. 1 or No. 2 starter, knows the difficulty of replacing Richardson but thinks the Jayhawks are on their way to doing so.
"I've thrown to both these guys and I think they're both doing really well," Quaid said. "They
don't have quite the experience Sean had, but he was a senior."
Parzyk has a bruised thigh, which, although minor, has slowed his early-season practices. While a sophomore at Palomar, Parzyk hit 328 and led his team with 37 RBI. He was voted team MVP and was named to the All-
Pacific Coast Conference first team.

Loss to Baylor sets record defeat
Y MICHAEL PHILIPS

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
On the plus side, things can't get any worse.
The Kansas women's basketball team lost to Baylor 90-40 on Saturday afternoon in Waco, Texas. The loss was the worst in the 37-year history of the program.
"They're good. They're very, very good," Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "It's just disappointing we didn't compete."
The Baylor Bears improved their record to 15-3, good enough for No. 9 in the nation.
Henrickson said that Baylor's status as defending NCAA tournament champion wasn't an excuse for the lopsided defeat.
"If you show up like that, it doesn't matter who it is or where it is, you're going to get beat in
The usually reliable duo of seniors, Erica Hallman and Kaylee Brown also struggled. Hallman missed all four of her three-point attempts, and Brown had just seven points and four turnovers in 18 minutes of play.
After helping keep the score close for the first 12 minutes, senior forward Crystal Kemp drew her second foul. Without her inside presence, Baylor went on a 21-2 run.
Kemp finished as the leading scorer for the Jayhawks
this league," Henrickson said. "We've got to point the finger at ourselves and get some things right."
Kansas' 40 points will enter the record books as the fourth fewest points scored in a game.
"We don't have the wiggle room for Kaylee to be so bad and Crystal to get in foul trouble." Henrickson said.
"She gave us what we wanted — what we've been asking of her." Henrickson said.
The Lady Bears dominated almost every statistical category. They were able to turn 25 Jayhawks turnovers into 37 points, and brought in 45 rebounds to the Jayhawks' 25.
Senior center Sophia Young led Baylor in scoring with 17 points. Six Baylor players reached double-digits, including three bench players.
Henrickson found a bright spot in sophomore forward Taylor McIntosh. After sharing minutes with freshman Marija Zinic over the past few weeks, McIntosh played for 29 minutes, collecting five rebounds and turning the ball over only twice.
with only 10 points in just 23 minutes. That ties as her lowest scoring output of the season and her fewest points since Dec. 5.
The Jayhawks will try to avenge an earlier road loss on Wednesday night when the Colorado Buffaloes visit Allen Fieldhouse. Tip-off is at 7 p.m.
Kansas drops to 1-5 on the season, and is just 2-5 in the Big 12.
Notes:
- Junior guard Shaquina Mosley started the game in place of freshman Ivana Catic. Mosley went 2-8 shooting, but was able to grab five rebounds.
- Attendancewasannounced at 7,672, the 11th largest crowd in Baylor history and the largest crowd Kansas has had all season.
- The game was televised nationally by CSTV, one of three appearances Kansas will make on the network this season.

U. S. Rep. Emanuel Cleaver II (D-Mo.) spoke Monday at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansan Union as part of the "Walking the Dream" event and luminaria march. Cleaver stressed King's vision of peace in relation to the war in Iraq. He also spoke about giving aid to hurricane survivors.
Keeping the dream alive
BY DEJUAN ATWAY
datway@kansan.com
KANSAN STaff WRITE
A diverse community braved a cold night to trek from Strong Hall to the Kansas Union as part of the "Walking the Dream" event and luminaria march Monday night.
The purpose of the event was to honor and celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s life and vision. King's legacy was remembered last night as U.S. Rep. Emanuel Cleaver II gave a speech linking the civil rights leader's past to issues that affect America in the present.
Cleaver's political career began in Kansas City when he was elected a councilman in 1979. In 1991 he made history when he was elected the first African-American mayor of Kansas City, Mo. He was re-elected in 1995. Cleaver is currently serving his
first term in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Cleaver challenged the youth of America to fight injustices in the world. He used King's message of fighting for the voiceless and powerless to confront the problems that exist in modern America.
Cleaver discussed how King championed programs for those trapped in poverty and who were disenfranchised. He also said he believed King would be vehemently against the war in Iraq.
Cleaver pointed out that King would have taken a stand against the treatment of the poor in New Orleans and along the Gulf Coast and how the national debt impacted the government's reaction to Hurricane Katrina.
This is the second year the Office of Multicultural Affairs and the Multicultural Resource Center has sponsored a celebration of King's birthday. Santos Nunez, program director of the Multicultural Resource Center, said the event was planned to continue annually and hoped it would grow in size and carry on King's message.
Cleaver closed his speech by challenging the audience to look in the mirror if they wanted King's dream to become a reality.
Kristen Guillot, president of the Black Student Union, said he believed that King's struggle would never finish as long as injustice occurred in the world.
"He would be happy with the progress we have made as a country, but I think he would definitely strive for more," Guillot said.

Lawmakers pass mine safety bill
BY LAWRENCE MESSINA THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHARLESTON, W.Va. - After 14 coal mining deaths in three weeks, West Virginia lawmakers unanimously passed a bill Monday that would require mines to use electronic devices to track trapped miners and stockpile oxygen to keep them alive until help arrives.
The Senate and House both acted with remarkable haste at the urging of Gov. Joe Manchin, who unveiled the legislation about 11 a.m. and pressed lawmakers to pass it by the end of the day.
"We can't afford to wait any longer," Manchin said after two miners were found dead over the weekend in a mine fire in Melville. Three weeks ago, 12 miners died after an explosion at the Sago Mine.
The federal Mine Safety and Health Administration enforces federal safety laws, but states can pass more stringent mining regulations if they want to.
— behind Wyoming — will have to comply by the end of February.
"It could be that it's the quickest response to coal reform in the state's history," said Robert Rupp, a political science professor at West Virginia Wesleyan College.
"I just wish they would have done it before and maybe I'd have my daddy here with me," said Brittany Hatfield, 18, whose father, Ellery "Elvis" Hatfield, died last week as a result of the mine fire.
Once the governor signs the bill, coal companies in the nation's No. 2 coal mining state
Manchin's legislation will require improved communications and the electronic tracking of coal miners underground.
as well as faster emergency response and the storage of additional air supplies underground.
"No miner's family is going to have to endure what we all endured for 90 hours over the past three weeks," the governor said.
If the 14 miners who died in two accidents since Jan. 2 had been wearing tracking devices, "we could have concentrated all our efforts, all our resources on that one location," Manchin said.
The owner of the Sago Mine, International Coal Group Inc., had not reviewed the bill, but "we certainly support prompt, achievable advancements in technology for communications and rescue to improve miners' safety," said Charles Snavely, a company vice president.
"These deaths I believe were entirely preventable," said Sen. Robert C, Byrd, D-W Va. "And we owe the families of these deceased and noble and great and brave man a hard look of what happened and why."
The state Senate passed the bill without debate, 32-0, with two absences. The vote in the House of Delegates was 93-0, with seven absences. Because of slight changes, the bill was sent back to the Senate, where it was again accepted and sent on to Manchin.
In Washington, meanwhile the Senate opened a hearing on mine safety.
Manchin's call for quick action came as the state medical examiner was to release the bodies of the 47-year-old Hatfield and Don I. Bragg, 33, to their families.
The two men died last week as a result of a conveyor belt fire at the Aracoma Coal Alma No. 1 mine. Their bodies were found nearly two days after the blaze began to spread thick smoke in the mine.

Bush
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
In his speech, which was part of K-State's Landon Lecture series, Bush also said his values guided his decisions as a president. These values came from Texas, Bush said, and were something Kansans had as well.
Col. Lee Staab agreed with Bush. The Hays native said Bush shared the values of strong conviction and leading by example that
people in the Heartland have.
Staab sat with the 800 other military personnel from Fort Riley, where he has been stationed for seven months. Staab had been stationed in Germany.
Bush also talked about his strategy for Iraq. He said the invasion was necessary because Saddam Hussein was a threat, and now a president must stop threats.
"There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that the world is a safer and better place with the removal
of Saddam Hussein," Bush said
Bush said the plan now was to continue to hunt terrorists and train Iraqi security forces. He said he hoped to decrease the amount of U.S. forces from 165,000 to 138,000 this year, based on advice from ground commanders.
Democracy in Iraq will lead to peace, and our generation - the students in the audience - will be part of history. Bush said.
'Da Vinci Code' opens film festival
PEOPLE
Edited by Gabriella Souza
PARIS — Case cracked:
"The Da Vinci Code" will be the opening-night movie at the Cannes Film Festival in May, organizers said.
Based on Dan Brown's esoteric thriller about codebreaking and conspiracy, the film will debut at the Riviera festival and in French theaters on May 17, the festival said Saturday.
The rest of the world will have to wait two days, until May 19.
The adaptation by Oscar-winning director Ron Howard ("A Beautiful Mind") has an international cast led by Tom Hanks and Audrey Tautou.
Like the novel, the movie is set largely in France:The story line opens with the murder of the curator of the Louvre Museum in Paris.
Early this month, the Louvre said the movie's producers were trying to decide between the museum and the Cannes festival as a site for the European premiere. The movie will not be in the running for prizes at Cannes.
Hong Kong's Wong Kar-wai, director of "In the Mood for Love," presides over this year's jury at the
festival, which runs May 17-28.
Organizers at the glitzy festival try to strike a balance between crowd-pleasers and critically acclaimed films, and between Hollywood blockbusters and art house flicks.

DiMaggio items for sale in New York
NEWYORK - More than 1,000 items of Joe DiMaggio memorabilia, including his 1947 Most Valuable Player Award plaque and a signed photo of Marilyn Monroe, will be auctioned in May, Hunt Auctions Inc. announced Monday.
The sale also includes DiMaggio's record-breaking 45th consecutive hit baseball from his 56-game streak in 1941 and a set of World Series rings from 1936 to 1996 presented to DiMaggio by the Yankees.
DiMaggio, called "the greatest all-around player I ever saw" by Ted Williams, played for the Yankees from 1936 to 1942 and from 1946 to 1951.
The auction will take place May 19-20 at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in Times Square.
He played in 13 All-Star games and won three MVP awards. He died in 1999.
A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital in Hollywood, Fla.
The Associated Press Even after Cannes, Braff still a 'scrub'
PASADENA, Calif. — His colleagues at "Scrubs" wouldn't let Zach Braff get a big head after the success of his movie, "Garden State."
"I was at Sundance feeling very proud of myself," Braff said Sunday, "and the very first thing I had to do when I came back was a scene where I was wearing a full clown suit and having children hit me with balloons."
And that, snickered executive producer Bill Lawrence, didn't even make it on the show.
By design, the medical spoof is getting siller and siller in its fifth season. Lawrence said.
For one of Tuesday's episodes, producers dug a trench to film an elaborate scene where Braff's character rides a scooter into a puddle and then pops out of another, nearby puddle.
"Twenty-one seconds, $70,000," Lawrence said. "Thank you, NBC. It made us laugh."

the swimming and diving team's senior night victory Friday against Drury wasn't just for the seniors. It was also to honor Kansas coach Clark Campbell.
Campbell won his 100th career meet with the team's victory.
"It is a milestone, but that is all it is. The only reason you get 100 wins or 200 wins or 300 wins is because you have athletes that hate to lose." Campbell said.
The team defeated Drury, winning 12 of the 13 events with a score of 157-70.
"If we would have won it would have been Clark's 100th win, which was in the back of our mind," senior co-captain Gina Gnatzig said.
"It's a happy and sad mixed together. You are really happy for the seniors but at the same time you are sad that it's the last home meet. But I think our team is really focused on the long term of Big 12 and NCAA, so they know that this is part of the process of just getting to that meet," Campbell said.
Before the meet, Campbell said he had been afraid that emotions may have an effect on the athletes' performance. Campbell said he had been pleased that emotions did not play a role in their performances.
The Jawhaws began the night winning the 200-yard medley relay. Junior Lia Pogioli followed with a victory in the 1000-yard freestyle.
"I think with it being a senior night and it being our last home meet, that we had a lot of energy to go out there and just win and give it all we had," senior Megan Boecker said.
Also, Gnatzig won the 200-yard freestyle and the 100-yard freestyle. Senior Lindsey Urbatchka picked up victories in the 50-year freestyle and the
100-vard butterfly.
100-yard butterfly. The divers also won both events, with Junior Shelby Noonan winning the 1-meter springboard and the 3-meter springboard. Seniors Casey Topol and Robyn Karlage finished behind Noonan in the 1-meter competition.
Freshmen Danielle Herrmann finished first in the 200-yard individual medley and the 100-yard breaststroke, Junior Jenny Short won the 100-yard backstroke and Sophomore Terri Schramka won the 500-yard freestyle.
"I think that we were just all so excited and proud to have finished the four years and be a part of something so great. We have a couple meets left, but to end this at Robinson it really means a lot," senior co-captian Emily Rusch said.
The team will compete against Iowa State on Feb. 3 and 4 in Ames. The meet will be different than those in the past because the events will be rearranged and swimmers will participate in events they haven't this year. Campbell said it was to help prepare both teams for the Big 12 Championships.

The Kansas football team officially ended its 2005 season with an awards ceremony Saturday night at the Lied Center. Senior defensive end Charlton Keith and senior linebacker Nick Reid were named co-defensive most valuable players and junior running back Jon Cornish received the offensive most valuable player award. Freshman kicker Scott Webb took home special teams' most valuable player.
Variable player Chancellor Robert Hemenway and Athletics Director Lew Perkins spoke to the team. Hemenway and Perkins thanked the seniors for setting the future for Kansas football.
Coach Mark Mangino said it had been a good ride with the seniors. He said that they had paved the way, but that the team still needed to "keep sawing wood."
Junior cornerback/wide receiver Charles Gordon, who decided to forgo his senior season and enter the 2006 NFL draft, was honored for postseason All-Big 12 accolades.
Senior linebacker Kevin Kane received the Don Fambrough Award, which is given to the team's most unselfish player. Sophomore fullback Brandon McAnderson and junior safety Jerome Kemp earned most improved offensive and defensive player awards, respectively.

Immigrant students deserve in-state price
Imagine being the son or daughter of an illegal immigrant in Kansas. Your parents work in the community, and you are about to graduate from high school. It has been a tough move, leaving your home country, but you have made new friends here in Kansas.
In fact, some of them are getting ready to go to school at the University of Kansas. Although you are nervous about leaving home, you too are thinking about college. You want to learn about the world, be the first person ever in your family to go to college. Your parents are a little leery about you leaving, but they want to see you better off than them.
You look forward to getting a job, a job that, unlike your parents' jobs, pays well and is something you want to do. It is the dream of every immigrant. It's the American dream.
But one Kansas legislator is trying to block this dream. Last week, Rep. Becky Hutchins, R-Holton, introduced legislation to repeal a Kansas law that grants in-state tuition to illegal immigrants. To qualify, immigrants must have attended a Kansas High School for at
least three years and graduated. They also must be applying for residency.
Although your family worked in Kansas,paid taxes in Kansas and put you in school in Kansas,the bill would force you to pay out-of-state tuition.
For full-time students, that means paying nearly three times as much in tuition,$6,638 compared to just $2,412. For you, the difference in tuition would be the difference in going to college.
If Hutchins gets the law repealed, no college for you.
And at what gain? The state trades a potential college graduate for a few thousand dollars in subsidized tuition.
Giving children of illegal immigrants in-state tuition rates isn't going to break the bank and it's not going put a burden on Kansas tax-payers.
But not doing so would hamper the opportunities of immigrants who came to America to truly improve their lot in life. Let's think about them when thinking about this law.

New Science Standards mask religious agenda
The legal decision in the Dover, Pa., case that Intelligent Design is religion and not science provides additional evidence that a few religious groups are attempting to change science education so there is less conflict between their religious beliefs and the way science is taught to students in public schools.
Another example of this can be found in Kansas. The six conservatives on the Kansas State School Board have carefully crafted their changes to the Kansas Science Standards to disguise them to look like science when in fact they are driven by religion. They have violated the integrity of science because what they are doing is based in religion, not in science.
because these theories are not in opposition to their beliefs.
These religious fundamentalists see evolution as a threat to their religious beliefs. They only attack the Theory of Evolution. If they really wanted to encourage critical thinking, as they claim, why not mention other theories in biology, such as the Cell Theory, the Germ Theory of Disease and the Chromosomal Theory of Heredity. There has not been one word about questioning these theories
The greatest and most informed criticism of all theories in science comes from the scientific community itself. This grist mill of science constantly demands that principles, concepts and theories in science up to past, current and future research.
The National Academies of Sciences in Washington, D.C., (one of the most prestigious science institutions in the world), The American Association for the Advancement of Science and the National Science Teachers Association vigorously support the Theory of Evolution because it is the best current explanation that we have for understanding our biological and physical world. The members of these organizations know solid science.
Healthy diet, exercise can yield better bodies by spring break
What the six conservative members of the school board are doing to the Kansas Science Standards is a misapplication of both religion and science. Their actions will seriously confuse students about both.
COMMENTARY
You hate being out of shape, yet you think you have to be in shape to work out at the gym to compete with the frequent visitors who look amazing. It's a vicious cycle.
If you keep putting off your ambitions to get fit,you will never step foot in a gym. However much you believe you have to be in shape to work out at the gym, it's just another excuse formulated to further prolong starting an exercise program.
Unfortunately, most people fall off the wagon by February or March and weight loss yet again floats to the back of their minds. Don't let this happen to you.
According to Weight Watcher's International, losing weight is one of the most popular New Year's resolutions.
If your New Year's resolution is to sculpt your body into a worship-worthy masterpiece, go about it in a realistic way. If you go full force into any exercise or nutrition program, chances are, you won't stick with it.
So, make a deal with yourself that you'll go to the gym three

times a week instead of seven, and don't restrict yourself completely when it comes to food. Eating healthy can still taste good and it shouldn't be a punishment.
Nutrition is crucial in reaching any fitness goal, whether it be building muscle losing weight or increasing performance. I cannot stress the enormous role nutrition plavs.
I have trained a variety of clients, from a 350-pound scale tiper to a 94-pound soccer mom.
Of all my clients, those who ate reasonably well and consistently worked out saw remarkable success compared to those who frequented the gym three times a day and ate anything they wanted.
Exercise is not a cure for weight loss,it just aids in the process.
Here are a few simple tips for
improving your diet:
- Try to decrease the size and increase the frequency of your meals. This will speed up your metabolism and help shrink the size of your stomach. According to bodybuildingforyou.com eating six small meals a day will help you burn fat, build muscle and be on the way to achieving the body of your dreams.
- Try to incorporate more whole grain products such as oatmeal, brown rice and whole - wheat breads or pastas. Look for a fiber content of at least three grams. Fiber will help keep you fuller longer.
- Add a handful of nuts into your day. Nuts have the "good" monounsaturated fat, which can actually help to promote weight loss.
When starting a new exercise program, remember form is the make-it-or-break-it factor.
What is the use of squatting 450 pounds if you can't even perform one squat correctly?
All you are doing is training your body to use your muscles incorrectly, which will transfer to everyday things and cause your body to be out of alignment, leading to injury.
I have yet to see one person at the student recreation center who can execute a squat correctly.
Trust me boys, it is not a turn-on if you grab a set of eighty-pound dumbbells and have to arch your back like an Alaskan whale to whip the weight up for a bicep curl.
You also need to make sure you hit every major muscle group, which includes chest, back, shoulders, biceps, triceps and legs.
Muscle not only burns fat, it also gives the appearance of looking leaner.
Most importantly, have fun and add variety. Try adding a group exercise class, like boot camp or S.E.T to cross train and increase the intensity of your workouts.
Group exercise is great because it's free, you have someone else pushing you and you receive all the benefits of personal training without the cost.

COMMENTARY
Appreciate privilege, strive to improve
It sometimes takes a step away from our daily routine to recognize certain things that otherwise might have gone unnoticed before. For me, that step away was spending two weeks in our country's neighbor to the south (Mexico, for you non-geography majors).
SAM SUNYAN
I admit that my purposes for going down there were not nearly as noble as, say, a mission trip or to build homes for poor families, but I did get a healthy dose of reality about our world nonetheless. While there I was continuously barrared by countless vendors peddling their wares at virtually every corner.
"How could anyone make a decent living selling this junk?" I thought.
The answer, I later determined, was that no one could; at least not as we would define decent by our standards.
SCOTT SHORTEN opinion@kansan.com
This prompted me to further investigate how fortunate and remarkably wealthy we all are compared with the rest of the world. Here's what I found—According to the CIA's World Factbook, in 2005 the United States had more
than $13 trillion in gross domestic product (an indicator of standard of living, for you non-Econ majors), accounting for about 30 percent of the entire world of 192 recognized nations! Our unemployment rate is one-sixth that of the world average, and as an American you can expect to live an average of 13 years longer than someone living elsewhere.
By simply reading this very article, you prove yourself to be better off than as much as 50 percent of most African and Middle-Eastern countries.
Now, I don't write this to brag about how great we are. I write simply to re-affirm what tremendous advantages this country has earned for itself over the past 229 years. Yes, we are at the top of
We have an occasion to learn this semester, to learn things that will allow us to continually outperform our global competitors in the future.
the list in many categories, but we would be wise to acknowledge the notion that complacency with where we currently will undoubtedly lead to a decline in those rankings.
At every moment we are either getting better or getting worse;we do not have the luxury of staying the same.
Don't think for a second that because we have done well in the past that we will be able to ride that wave of economic prosperity indefinitely into the future, especially with growing competition from developing markets around the world who would love nothing more than to wrest away our fortunes.
With all of this in mind, we can now see what a golden opportunity we are presented with this semester. An occasion which, cumulatively, can lead to a better and more prosperous United States of America, and one which is not afforded to much of the rest of the world. We have an occasion to learn this semester. To learn things that will allow us to continually outperform our global competitors in the future.
Do you want to ensure that postityer will enjoy the same advantages you've had so far? Do you want to see the United States stay at the top of the hierarchy of wealth?
It all starts here. Make yourself more valuable, and in turn also the United States, by applying yourself to your studies and activities, by making the most of your time this semester and by refusing to rest idly on your laurels.
Best wishes this spring in all of your endeavors!

Team wins on home turf

KANSAN SPORTSWRIVER
TOPEKA — The Kansas tennis team gained its second shutout of the season after defeating Drake 7-0 on Saturday.
Anthony Mattingly/KANSAN
The match was Kansas' third of the spring season and the first one in Kansas at the Wood Valley Racquet Club in Topeka.
SINCE 1948
"Topeka has been our home turf, until the facility here in Lawrence opens up," Kansas coach Amy Hall-Holt said.
The team will practice indoors in Lawrence for the remainder of the season at First Serve Tennis, 5200 Clinton Parkway.
In Topeka, Kansas competed in six individual matches and three doubles matches. The doubles matches counted as one total point, and the six individual matches counted as one point each.
"That right there definitely says it all, a 7-0 win, being in our home facility," Hall-Holt said. "The girls all played hard in practice, and it all paid off in our match today."
Kansas put up two shutouts against Drake in the nine matches.
The first came in an 8-0 doubles match victory, which featured sophomore Elizaveta Avdeeva and freshman Ksenia Bukina.
Freshman Ksenia Bukina returns the ball to her opponent in Saturday's meet in Topeka. She clinched victory in both her single and double matches and is ranked 79th in the nation by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association.
Bukina, an Obninsk, Russia native, is ranked 79th nationally by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association rankings.
In the second shutout, freshman Edina Horvath won her match in two straight games, 6-0, 6-0.
No matches were played beyond two sets.
"I thought we took advantage of playing a little bit of a weaker team and got some confidence to go on the road for the next month," sophomore Lauren Hommell said.
Hommell and Horvath won in doubles competition.
Kansas' month-long road trip will start in Salt Lake City on Saturday. It ends March 5.
when Kansas will play host to Texas Tech, the first Big 12 match of the season.

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
The Kansas track and field team had a successful showing against 41 other area schools on Saturday in the Jayhawk Invitational at Anschutz Sports Pavilion.
The women were victorious in the 60-meter dash, triple jump, shot put, pole vault and the 3,200-meter relay for the Jayhawks, while the men dominated the distance runs.
The meet featured close to 850 athletes. Teams scores were not tallied.
"Overall, I was impressed with individuals throughout the day," Kansas coach Stanley Redwine said.
Former Jayhawk Charlie Gruber, running for Team Nike, won the event with a time of 4:02.59. He was followed by Kansas sophomore Colby Wissel at 4:08.13. Wissel said he had been happy to break 4:10.
Tiffany Cherry won the 60-meter dash in 7.51 seconds, a personal best. Cherry, who had changed her warm-up routine by listening to Yolanda Adams' "Never Give Up" pre-race, said she had wanted to build off of the victory and reach the NCAA Indoor Championships this year.
On the women's side, senior
Not to be outdone, the men's team also finished well. Senior Cameron Schwehr easily won the
Sophomore Crystal Manning and junior Shatoya Hill placed first and second, respectively, in the triple jump. Manning jumped 40-4 in the finals to secure the victory.
Freshman Stephanie Horton won the women's shot put with a throw of 15.08 meters. Junior Abby Emsick finished right behind her with a throw of 13.77 meters.
Keeping with the distance theme, the mile and half-mile runs were dominated by Kansas runners, led by a familiar face.
3,000-meter run with a time of 8:45:25. The Colbert, Wash., native said he had been working toward becoming an All-American by the end of his career at Kansas.
Matt Baysinger won the 600-yard run with a time of 1:10.99. Baysinger won the event last week as well at the Kansas/Kansas State/Missouri Triangular.
Joshy Madatilh won the 1000-meter run with a time of 2:24.83.
feron finished third at 4:11.17,
and senior Erik Sloan was fourth
at 4:12.32.
The 800-meter run saw the Jayhawks sweep the podium. Junior Michael Rost won with a time of 1.53.54. Senior Brandon Hodges was a close second at 1.53.46 and junior Adrian Ludwig placed third at 1.54.09.
Senior thrower Sheldon Battle did not compete. Because he had already qualified for the NCAA Indoor Championships in the weight throw and shot put, Redwine said he had felt no need for Battle to participate.
Redwine said Battle would compete next week in Lincoln, Neb., along with his teammates at the two-day Husker Invitational. The event begins Friday.

Second start for Wright shows his improvements
BY DANIEL BERK
dberk@kansan.com*
KANSAN SENIOR SWIFTWRITER
What a difference one game can make
After making his first career college start last Wednesday against Texas A&M, freshman forward Julian Wright looked much more comfortable in his second career start Saturday at Iowa State.
Wright struggled in his first start, playing only six minutes and not registering any points. Against Iowa State, he had 13 points, eight rebounds, four assists and four blocked shots in 25 minutes.
His day got off to a good start when he scored the first two points for Kansas. On the opening possession, Wright got the ball on top of three-point line, and no Iowa State defender picked him up. Wright drove to the basket and dunked with two hands to give Kansas the early 2-0 lead.
"We got a break today in that Julian got a dunk to start the game," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "I'm sure that removed a lot of the litters right there."
Self said after the Texas A&M game that Wright hadn't played often because it wasn't his style of basketball. Texas A&M's big men were strong and physical, a style of play Wright was still adjusting to.
The Iowa State game was more Wright's style. Iowa State's defense was playing a full court press against Kansas much of the game, and Self said he felt comfortable having Wright in against the zone press.
"He didn't play poorly against A&M. He just didn't play that game," Self said. "We went a different direction. Against a zone, Julian is our best big guy as far as passing the ball. He doesn't always make the plays we want. The end result is usually pretty good."
It has been a learning experience for Wright, who still made a few mistakes against Iowa State. Wright had three turnovers, all of which came in the first half. In the opening minutes of the game. Wright missed a couple of easy rebounds, going up for the ball with just one hand instead of two. Wright also had an early turnover trying to bring the ball up the court against Iowa State's full court pressure.
After nearly every mistake, Wright looked over to the bench to receive more instruction from Self. Wright admitted after the game that there was still a lot he was trying to learn at the college level.
"Every possession I'm out there, I try to improve and learn," Wright said. "I really haven't had to handle the ball that much since high school. But it was good to play against pressure. You just have to adjust to whoever you're playing that day."
Wright found himself in another position he had yet to be in this season. He was at the free throw line late in the game shooting to secure a Kansas victory.
In total, Wright was 7-8 from the line and 3-6 from the field. The 13 points he scored were the most he had scored in conference play.
"Julian's coming around big time," freshman guard Mario Chalmers said. "He passes like a guard. A lot of times he'll kick it back to me or Russell for open shots. So when he's out there, it opens up our offense a lot."

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
Robinson was one of five Jayhawks who scored in double figures. Robinson, Chalmers and Rush combined for 59 points, while freshman forward Julian Wright and sophomore forward Darnell Jackson combined for 26 points.
The victory was the Jayhawks' third straight and the second straight on the road.
"I am surprised by our shooting percentages, but I do think we are taking good shots," Self said.
The Jayhawks shot the ball well, shooting nearly 60 percent for the game. It was the fourth straight contest that Kansas shot better than 50 percent from the field.
Kansas played good defense as well. The Jayhawks held the Cyclones to 37 percent shooting.
The KU guards were effective on stopping Iowa State's standout guards, Curtis Stinson and Will Blalock. They held them to just 13-of-36 shooting from the field. Kansas guards went 19-of-29.
"I don't want to say it was a draw, because that takes away from Stinson and Blalock and Clark; that's arguably the best perimeter in our league," Self said. "Mario and Russell and Brandon all played very well. When they play well they are about as good as any guards around, in my opinion."
Kansas returns home to take on Texas Tech tonight at 8 in Allen Fieldhouse.
Basketball Notes:
On the road again.
Kansas' three road conference victories are the most in the Big 12 Conference.
On the road again:
The Jayhawks lead the nation in field goal percentage defense, only allowing their opponents to make 35.8 percent of their shots.
Stellar defense
Freshman firepower
Rush continues to extend his scoring in conference play. He now averages 17 points per game against conference foes.
Home court disadvantage?
Iowa State lost its third straight game at home. It was the first time since the 2001-02 season that the Cyclones have lost three straight at Hilton Coliseum.

A victory against predictions; KU triumphs over Iowa State
By CJ MOORE
cjmore@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWITTER
Who scheduled this game at 11 a.m. ? Kansas is 2-0 this season in 11 a.m. games, however. Here's hoping the Hilton magic doesn't wake up until 2 p.m.
10:58 a.m. — Both Digger Phelps and Jay Bilas pick Iowa State. It's time to embrace the underdog.
11:08 — Kansas coach Bill Self does the motor boat with his lips because of four early turnovers. Self's hair will either fall out or go gray by the end of this season.
11:00 — Fran Fraschilla and Ron Franklin are calling the game again. Do they do any other games besides Kansas games?
11:26 — Fraschilla said Kansas had no outside shooting on the court. Freshman guard Mario Chalmers immediately hits a three. Nice insight, Fran.
11:15 — Gonzaga standout Adam Morrison no longer has the nicest mustache in college basketball. Iowa State coach Wayne Morgan wins by a landslide.
1. 如图所示，图中电源电压为 $12V$ ，电路中元件正常工作时，电阻 $R_{1}$ 的阻值为___Ω。
11:45 - Iowa State's Anthony Davis has missed three lavups in a row. I'm now a fan of Davis.
11:50 — Halftime. Kansas has 13 first-half turnovers, has taken 10 fewer field goal attempts than Iowa State and is still winning 38-35, thanks to a 9-of-10 performance from the free throw line.
12:21 p.m. — Russell Robinson hits a three-point shot. He's taking over. Kansas adds 17 with Robinson in the game.
12:43 — Iowa State's players are about to get in a fight with each other after sophomore forward Darnell Jackson gets fouled. It's usually a good sign when the other team is fighting.
12:46 — Self finally smiled after Robinson's bank shot. That makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.
12:52 — Freshman forward Julian Wright (52 percent on the season) goes 6-of-6 from the line. Jinx! He missed the very next free throw attempt.
1:00 — Fran just referenced the Missouri game. Why does he have to do that?
1. 07- Kansas converts 12 straight free throws down the stretch. That ended the game.
A huge victory. Kansas wins and manages to score 95 points with 21 turnovers at the same time.

Key plays:
Freshman forward Julian Wright got the Jayhawks going on their first possession of the game, driving into the lane and throwing down a dunk.
Wright would later score in the opening minutes with an alley-oop pass from sophomore guard Russell Robinson. Robinson would hit freshman guard Brandon Rush for another dunk a few possessions later.
After sitting on the bench for most of the first half, Robinson scored two quick points early in the second half and led the Jayhawks to a 17-3 run.
On that run, freshman guard Mario Chalmer sparked Kansas by stealing the ball and going coast-to-coast for the layup plus the foul.
Quotes:
"Their best offense was us turning the ball over today. Especially when they had their run." Kansas coach Bill Self said about Iowa State.
"We got pretty nervous, but we had a whole 20 more minutes to play." Rush said about how the team felt during Iowa State's first-half run.
"I told them that we are still better off than when we started." Self said about his team's three-point lead at halftime.
"I was thinking he was going to come back to me. I thought he might put me back in the first half,' Robinson said about sitting on the bench after picking up two fouls.

Kansas claims third place Texas still ranks at top
Kansas moved up two places from last week to claim the third spot this week. The Jayhawks never trailed behind the Iowa State Cyclones on Saturday. Kansas will play its next two games at home against Texas Tech and Oklahoma. Freshman guard Brandon Rush continues to have a successful freshman campaign — he is shooting more than 50 percent from long range this season. Kansas only trails first-place Texas by one game.
Editor's Note: The Kansan Big 12 Power Rankings are voted on by Ryan Colaianni and Daniel Berk, Kansas men's basketball writers, as well as Eric Sorrentino, sports editor, and Erick R. Schmidt, associate sports editor.
Despite Oklahoma defeating Texas Saturday night, the voters kept Texas at the top spot for the second week of the Big 12 basketball power rankings. Key losses against Missouri and Nebraska factored into the Sooners not grabbing the number one spot. Texas has only lost one conference game.
Missouri dropped a steep seven spots this week to 11th in the power rankings. The Tigers have dropped four of their last five conference games. The most recent came in a 65-52 loss to Nebraska in Lincoln. Thomas Gardner continued to pour in points. He had 22 in the game off a 6-of-12 performance from three-point range.
Baylor still has not won a Big 12 Conference game. The Bears are 0-6 and continue to hold down the 12th and final spot of the power rankings. If Baylor wants to win a game, it should take advantage of the opportunity in the next three games — at home against Kansas State and Missouri and on the road at Nebraska. After this stretch, Baylor will play on the road at Oklahoma and Texas.

Wright
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 10A
"He has improved a ton; he is getting to where he can play his position better," Self said. "There is not a big guy in America that passes the ball better than what Julian Wright does."
Wright has 28 assists on the year and is a gifted passer. He has a unique ability to move quickly down the lane past defenders and either look for a shot or pass the ball to an open teammate.
Self said that other than sophomore center C.J. Giles, Wright was the only playmaker in the team's front court.
Wright has displayed instances of maturity for his age.
He understands his role, despite his preseason accolades. Following games, he does not complain about how many minutes he played. He said he only cared that the best players were on the floor to give Kansas an opportunity to win.
This has created a positive mindset, even after mistakes.
"I'm always trying to keep everyone's spirit high. Coaches get on me when I put my head down after a mistake, so now I'm just trying to clap after a mistake and after a good pass, just clap all the time." Wright said
After Saturday, Wright said he would not be selfish when other players were on the floor instead of him.
Wright's minutes have fluctuated from game to game, but Self said he would continue to put trust into the former McDonalds All-American.
"What we try to do this time of the year is not worry about one play because if you get subbed it is not because you didn't make the play it is because Coach wants something else out there," Wright said.
"He is one of those guys that you have to put out there and you are going to have to trust because it may not go perfect the whole time," Self said. "But over time, I think he will become a guy that can deliver for you."

players to give the starters a breather, but said she wouldn't give them time until they were ready.
"They don't get a lot of wiggle room," Henrickson said. "You've got to get in there and produce."
The team only played one game last week, so Henrickson used the opportunity to take three bench players aside for additional coaching; freshman guard Sophronia Sallard and junior guards Shaquina Mosley and Sharita Smith.
Henrickson referred to them as "the three amigos" and said she wanted them to band together to produce in the coming weeks. They had a great week of practice, she said.
"Even in a three-hour practice, you don't get a 15-minute conversation with the players, so it was good for us to talk
about roles and what's expected." Henrickson said.
If the team can come out of Manhattan with a victory, it would be the first time any player on the current roster would have defeated the Wildcats.
Kansas State has dominated the in-state battle in recent years, but the class that had been responsible for its success graduated last year, giving the Jahawk seniors their best — and last — opportunity to leave Manhattan with a victory.
"It's just another road game. I don't think we're worried about how many times we've lost to them or anything like that," Kemp said.
Still, a win in Manhattan would re-establish the Jayhawks as the dominant team in the state, as well as give them a road victory. This would help their tournament chances immensely in March.

TENNIS

KANSAN.SPORTWRITER
Kansas Jayhawks tennis team opened the spring season Sunday in Bloomington, Ind., by playing the Ball State Cardinals and the Indiana Hoosiers.
The team came home with a 1-1 record, defeating Ball State and falling to Indiana.
The two matches were the first of 24 this season for the Jayhawks.
No Ball State player won more than three games in a single set, and six Kansas players swept their Ball State counterparts.
"This was a great way to start the season," coach Amy Hall-Holt said. "Obviously, we would like to be coming home 2-0, but we feel like we played very well against a tough Indiana team."
Kansas won two out of seven matches against Indiana, but the two matches came against Indiana's top-ranked players. Freshman Ksenia Bukina, ranked No. 79 by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association, defeated No. 98 senior Sarah Batty and Kansas sophomore Elizaveta Avdeeva defeated junior Laura McGaffigan, who was ranked No. 100 nationally.
"I felt that everyone had a good day against Ball State, and it was also great to see Ksenia and Elizaveta have success against Indiana's top two players," Hall-Holt said.
The Jayhawks also played the Hoosiers and the Cardinals in three doubles matches. The Jayhawks won two out of three against the Cardinals but dropped all three to the Hoosiers.

WOMEN'S GOLF
BY STEPHEN BERGMAN

KANSAN SPORTSWRIETER
Golf isn't the first thing that comes to mind when students think of winter break. But the cold weather and the holidays didn't stop the women's golf team from utilizing its offseason.
Coach Erin O'Neil said it would be that kind of dedication that would lead the team to success in the spring.
During the break, several players found the time to get on the greens at their hometown courses and others participated in tournaments. Senior Chelsey Pryor won the ORU Shootout.
"Chelsey Pryor leads by example, she's an Academic All-American," O'Neil said. "I see us right now in the middle of the pack in the Big 12, which of course is a very tough conference."
O'Neil said that the team was in the process of accomplishing things that haven't been done at the University, with regards to success as a unit. She said hopes were high for the season, which will officially begin Feb. 6 with the team's first practice.
"We have a different set of expectations. The girls are set on creating history here at KU," O'Neil said. "This season there's a pretty good schedule, team, courses. Our main goal is to try to get to regionals and I believe we can do that. It's a very talented bunch in general with some solid senior leadership."

CANCER (June 21- July 22) ***** You might want to understand what is going on with a partner or friend. Sometimes asking too many questions could incur irritation rather than bring forth answers. Step back and observe more. You'll find answers through this approach.
GEMINI (May 21 June 20) ★★★ Find an expert to get advice from before committing to any particular course of action. Your researching and willingness to listen help you. As you follow through, you will see even more responsibilities drop in your lap.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) **** Others command, and you need to respond. Sometimes you get too tired for your own good and then get cranky. Adjust and do whatever you need to do. Your imagination helps you over any hurdle in your path.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★★ You are high energy. Others might respond negatively to your pushing. Be smart and try the power of suggestion. Listen to what someone says without making a judgment. He or she needs to blow off steam. Give 100 percent of yourself no matter what project you take on.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) **** Slow down and take your time. Deal with other matters more directly. You will see some fast changes. Your instincts are right-on about a professional matter or public appearance. A boss or parent can be quite willful.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) **** Your enthusiasm might actually irritate someone else. If you think you can deal with his or her mood, all the better. Concentrate on what you need to accomplish, and don't let others interrupt until you are done.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★ ★
Expenses could be awesome. Be careful.
You might want to dote on a child or
loved one. Try to keep the costs down,
Q? Postpone a discussion until later
this afternoon, when you feel better and
under control.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) **** If you use your imagination, you can jump through nearly any hoop. An associate might be difficult, and pleasing him or her could be impossible. In any case, on plan putting in some extra hours, if need be.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★★ You can deal with another's upset. You could be jolted by what comes down your path. Understanding helps you relax when dealing with others. Recognize what works. Late afternoon, your humor helps ease pressure.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
****Your ability to flex is tested. If you are able to adjust, everything flows as you would like; otherwise, frustration builds. You will want to head home early – the sooner, the better. You will feel more comfortable there.

ATHLETICS DEPARTMENT
Athletes earn record GPAs
BY SHAWN SHROYER
sshroyer@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Kansas Athletics had an impressive fall semester in the classroom with 12 teams posting 3.0 grade point averages or better and two teams setting team GPA records.
FALL 2005 TEAM GPAS
The volleyball team earned a 3.49 GPA that tied the alltime, all-team record at Kansas previously achieved by the women's tennis team in Spring 2005.
The baseball team raised its GPA from 2.57 last spring to a team record of 2.96.
Fifteen members of the team earned a 3.0 GPA or higher and were named to the athletic department's honor roll.
Freshman Kevin Bedford and redshirt freshmen Justin Ellrick and Nick Faunce earned perfect 4.0 GPAs for the baseball team.
Volleyball — 3.49 (team record)
Baseball — 2.96 (team record)
Men's Basketball — 2.82
Women's Basketball — 3.00
Football — 2.40
Men's Golf — 3.05
Women's Golf — 3.26
Rowing — 3.02
Softball — 3.19
"Coach was real big on everybody doing well in the classroom, same as doing well on the field," Ellrich said.
Soccer — 3.00
Swimming & Diving — 3.26
Tennis — 3.28
Men's Track & Field — 2.92
Men's Cross Country — 3.02
Women's Track & Field — 3.06
Women's Cross Country — 3.20
All Sports Combined — 2.91
"So, it was definitely a big thrill for us, actually, to do as good as we did."
The extra effort Ellrich and his teammates put forth in the classroom did not go unnoticed by their coach.
Source: Kansas Athletics Department
"They understood the importance and they were much more focused about it than in the past," coach Ritch Price said. "I think they're trying to become Jayhawk scholars, trying to get those GPAs over 3.0 so that they can have a chance to be successful in life too."
Price said he didn't expect GPAs to suffer in the spring semester despite the hectic schedule the athletes would face.
"I think any student athlete does an incredible job of budgeting their time and players know that they have to be responsible for their academics and they have to make sure that no matter how much we travel or where a game is scheduled, they still have to get those responsibilities taken care of," Price said.

Steelers coach Cowher back in big one
NFL

David Zalubowski/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BY ALAN ROBINSON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Bill Cowher, right, argues a call with line judge Mark Steinkerchner during the second quarter against Denver in the AFC Championship football game in Denver on Sunday.
DENVER — Bill Belichick was too smart, and Tom Brady and John Elway were too good.
Steelers coach Bill Cowher made it to the AFC championship game five times, an enviable record for any coach. The problem: He lost four times, and some in Pittsburgh became convinced the Belichicks and Elways weren't the problem, but that not-good-enough-Bill was.
seeded teams to reach the Super Bowl.
The Steelers' surprise advance to only their second Super Bowl in 26 years offers some redemption for Cowher, who acknowledged after last year's 41-27 AFC title game loss to New England at home that not winning a Super Bowl was a "void" in his career.
Great regular-season coach? For sure — Cowher is among the top 15 in NFL career victories. Get him in the playoffs, against the top coaches, and he'll be overmatched.
But no other coach accomplished what Cowher did with a 34-17 AFC championship victory Sunday in Denver: Take a sixth-seeded team on the road and beat the Nos. 1, 2 and 3-
Even the team's patient-asJob ownership put some pressure on Cowher after the Steelers missed out after going 15-1 last season.
Shortly after that latest disappointment, team president Art Rooney said, "It's time for us to win another Super Bowl."
Funny, but Cowher looks a whole lot smarter now after taking the Steelers to Cincinnati, Indianapolis and Denver in successive weeks and winning, twice by two-touchdown margins.

KU can't lose focus against Texas Tech
KU Tip-off
LAST TIME OUT
Kansas used a 17-3 run in the second half to win its third straight game, defeating Iowa State 95-85 in Ames, Iowa. Five players scored in double figures and the team's three startin guards combined for 59 points.
76. 8 — Kansas' free throw percentage in its past two games.
PLAYER TO WATCH
35. 8 — Field goal percentage the Jayhawks have allowed this season - best in the nation.
Darnell Jackson. The sophomore forward has provided an offensive presence in the paint for the Jayhawks in recent weeks, scoring in double figures in the past three games. Jackson will not have to guard taller players tonight because Texas Tech's tallest player reaches just 6 feet 9 inches.
14. 5 — Points per game for sophomore guard Russell Robinson.
KEY TO VICTORY
3 QUICK FACTS
Keep up the guard production. Freshman guards Brandon Rush and Mario Chalmers and sophomore guard Russell Robinson have been productive in Big 12 Conference play and will need to continue their strong offensive and defensive production for the Jayhawks to win tonight.
Kansas vs. Texas Tech, ESPN 8 p.m., Monday, Allen Fieldhouse
Kansas
OFFENSE
What more could the offense ask for than four straight games of shooting better than 50 percent from the field?The past few weeks sophomore guard Russell Robinson has emerged as a scoring point guard, and freshman guard Mario Chalmers has become comfortable playing at the Big 12 Conference level. The guard production will need to continue tonight and the rest of the season. Kansas has had limited inside scoring options.
KU KU KU
DEFENSE
The KU defensive pressure has ignited its three straight victories. Robinson and Chalmers have been solid defenders and have created crucial turnovers. Freshman forward Julian Wright has picked up his game on the defensive end. He blocked four shots against Iowa State. The Jayhawks will need to continue their solid defensive play against the Red Raiders, who have one of the most prominent in-game coaches in America, Bobby Knight.
Texas Tech OFFENSE
KU KU KU KU
Jarrius Jackson and Martin Zeno lead Texas Tech on offense. Jackson comes into tonight's game averaging 19.5 points per game and is shooting 45 percent from three-point distance. Jackson is a big reason why Texas Tech leads the conference in three-point shooting, hitting 39 percent of its attempts. Zeno comes into the game averaging 16.5 points per game and shoots over 50 percent from the field this season.
TTT
Ryan Colaianni
DEFENSE
Texas Tech is in the middle of most defensive categories in the Big 12 Conference. The Red Raiders come into the game allowing an average of 68.2 points per game, which is ninth in the conference. Opponents are shooting 42 percent from the field, which is sixth best in the conference. Zeno is the team's leading rebounder at 5.5 rebounds per game. As a team, Texas Tech's 5.75 steals per game are lowest in the conference.

LAST TIME OUT
PLAYER TO WATCH
Texas Tech returned to its winning ways Saturday, defeating Oklahoma State 92-90 in overtime. Jarrus Jackson led the team with 26 points and hit a three-point shot near the end of regulation to send the game into overtime. Texas Tech had five players score in double figures.
Jackson. He leads the conference in minutes played and is in the top 10 in scoring. Jackson has probably been coach Bobby Knight's best recruit since coming to Texas Tech. Jackson has yet to face Kansas' guards Russell Robinson and Mario Chalmers this season, and that will be a key match up in determining the winner of the game.
3 QUICK FACTS
833 — The number of victories Knight has compiled in his coaching tenure.
99 — Texas Tech's three-point shots made on the season out of 253 attempts. Tech's 39 percent in three-point shots lead the conference.
307 — The Red Raiders' turnovers this season. They are averaging 15.4 per game.
KEY TO VICTORY
Jackson will have to play a great game for Texas Tech. He will be a load to guard for sophomore guard Russell Robinson and freshman guard Mario Chalmers.

"It's going to raise the bar," Parzyk said about competing with Afenir for the starting spot. "It'll raise our level of play, going back and forth. See who wants it more."
Although Afenir is younger, he is already following the example of his major league uncle, former catcher Troy Afenir. Price said Afenir would get the nod for opening day in Hawaii, but that does not mean the starting spot is his.
"It's a lot of pressure, but I think I've learned a lot just being around these guys and coach," Afenir said.
Afenir also was recruited by
Stanford and Arizona before signing with the Jawhaws.
In no way, though, are the coaches counting him out.
"He's been very impressive the last two weeks," Price said. "He's a high profile guy out of high school and he has been well-prepared to play in this conference."
Price said he was happy with both of his prospective catchers, but that the bruise on Parzyk's thigh had set him back a little.
"We like him as well." Price said of Parzyk. "We feel like we have two guys capable of filling that hole."

Freshman forward Juilan Wright drives to the basket hard during a fast break early in the second half against Nebraska on Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse. Wright went on to score a total of 12 points as the Jayhawks defeated the Cornhuskers 96-54.
Wright has right stuff
Upbeat freshman boosts morale
BY RYAN COLAIANNI rcolaianni@kansan.com KANSAN SENIOR SWITCHWRITER
Julian Wright sprinted down the floor and found a streaking Russell Robinson for two points. A few possessions later, Wright drove to the basket and threw down a thunderous dunk.
Those were just two instances in which the freshman forward shined in Saturday's thumping of Nebraska. He scored 12 points in 21 minutes.
Wright, the preseason Big 12 Freshman of the Year, has displayed more awareness on the floor recently. Last week's passing and scoring display against Nebraska could be a sign that he is ready to help out a Kansas team that has lost two of its past three games.
"I am starting to get comfortable just trying to be active and using my length to my advantage by getting out in the passing lanes," Wright said.
the 6-foot-8 freshman scored 12 points against Nebraska and has shown signs of brilliance throughout the season. Kansas coach Bill Self said his teammates have reaped the benefits.
Wright, a Chicago Heights, Ill., native, has had to adjust to a new position, in the power forward spot. Wright came to Kansas playing on the wing, which is similar to the position that freshman guard Brandon Rush plays now. At his new position in the post, Wright is usually matched against taller and stronger players.
"Julian is growing up. He is starting to learn where he fits in at," Self said. "He is picking his spots pretty good. He is definitely an energy guy. He comes in and brings a lot of energy off the bench."

Jayhawks to depend on bench for victory
BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
PERIOD
When the women's basketball team plays Kansas State tomorrow night, the Jayhawks will see something they aren't used to: substitutions.
The Wildcats have nine players who average at least 10 minutes per game and they have only one senior.
In contrast, the Jayhawks have relied on four starters, three of whom are seniors—senior forward Crystal Kemp, senior guards Erica Hallman and Kaylee Brown, plus freshman guard ivana Catic. The fifth position has been split between sophomore forward Taylor McIntosh and freshman forward Marija Zinic.
Senior guard Kaylee Brown, left, junior guard Shaquina Mosley, center, and freshman guard Katie Smith look up from the bench at coach Bonnie Hennickson during Sunday's game against Oklahoma State. Brown is one of six players who has dominated playing time for the Jayhawks, but, in the coming weeks, Mosley is expected to see more minutes on the court.
Those six have played 83 percent of the minutes this season, and they won't spend much time resting to morrow night at 7 p.m. when the Jayhawks hope to snap an eight-game losing streak to the Wildcats.

A TEXAN'S TAKE
Self should start Wright and Jackson over Giles and Kaun
The sophomore center missed class on Friday, which led Kansas coach Bill Self to bench him for the first half of the 96-54 blowout.
Kansas was up 32 points before CJ Giles entered the game against Nebraska on Saturday.
Missing the first day of class could end up costing Giles more than a courtside view from the bench for just one game.
If Saturday's game was any indication of who will start at the end of the year, Giles shouldn't be included. Self's impatience with Giles' classroom absence carried over to the court as well.
C. D. WILLIAMS
BY ERIC SORRENTINO
esorrentino@kansan.com
Giles was in the game for only 1:14 before Self put him back on the pine. Giles missed his only shot attempt of the game, in which he tried to make an immediate impact along the baseline. Instead of laying the ball in, he tried to emphatically dunk it. He shook the basket, but the ball went
Self's removal of Giles proved to be effective. Sophimore forward Darnell Jackson and freshman forward Julian Wright have outplayed the starting frontcourt of Giles and sophomore center Sasha Kaun.

flying across the other side of the rim.
Jackson has proven himself on the court as well.
That's something Kaun just doesn't do. He has more trips to the free-throw line than any other KU player — 62 — but has consistently failed to convert these trips into points. He has made only 35 free throws.
Jackson bangs his right fist against his chest every time he makes a free throw. Whatever he's doing has worked — he's made 18-of-22 free throws, compared to Giles' 10-of-24. When Kansas looks inside, it needs to have players in the

The Jayhawks have found a backcourt that they can rely on, with freshman guard Mario Chalmers and sophomore guard Russell Robinson. Freshman guard Brandon Rush is an obvious starter playing the three position because of the impressive stats he puts up.
Kansas should complete the frontcourt the same way it started the second half against Nebraska — with Wright and Jackson.

Design firm selected

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Top-ranked architects may build new football facility
The Athletics Department has reportedly selected HNTB, an architecture firm with offices in Kansas City, Mo., and Overland Park, to build a new football facility near Memorial Stadium.
A spokeswoman from HOK, an architecture firm with an office in Kansas City, Mo., said HOK was notified Jan. 3 that HNTB received the design rights.
HOK was in competition with HNTB to design the project.
A representative for HNTB would not confirm the contract. HNTB interviewed for the contract in December, said Randy Bredar, a HNTB architect who specializes in sports.
"I don't know how we did it," he said.
Bredar referred all further questions to Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony.
Marchiony would not confirm whether HNTB was selected to
design the facilities.
"We're still dotting the i's and crossing the 't'," he said.
An official announcement outlining the department's plans for the facility could come as early as Thursday, he said, and the Athletics Department would hold a ceremony to unveil them.
The two firms are highly ranked in Engineering News-Record's ranking of the top 500 design firms. In 2005, HOK ranked first
and HNTB ranked second.
HNTB's resumé includes several projects in athletics.
It designed Invesco Field at Mile High Stadium for the Denver Broncos, renovations and improvements to the University of Georgia's Sanford Stadium, Oregon State University's Reser Stadium, and Ohio State University's Ohio Stadium, according to HNTB's Web site.

STUDENT SENATE
Coalition chooses nominees
BY NICOLE KELLEY
nkelley@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
In its 10th anniversary as a coalition, new Delta Force candidates want to address campaign finance.
The coalition announced Raymond "Studie" Red Corn as its presidential candidate and Bridget Franklin as his running mate Monday.
Red Corn, Shawnee sophomore, has been the First Nations Student Association senator for the past two years.
Franklin, Topeka junior, is in her first year as a junior/senior College of Liberal Arts and Sciences senator.
The coalition's campaign will focus on issues students face on and off campus, Red Corn said.
Delta Force will address social, environmental and educational concerns to reinvigorate student interest in current common social issues.
Official platforms will be announced in March.
"You will see an organization that stands by what it believes in by running a campaign that does business with socially responsible companies and that works to reduce the large amounts of waste usually created from elections," he said.
One waste Delta Force wants to examine is excessive campaign spending.
Red Corn said coalitions had spent $5,000 to $6,000 on campaigns, an amount not all students could spend.
"We want every student to have a voice on this campus, not just those who can afford it," he said.
Red Corn said that he wanted to be able to show students that they have the power to initiate change within the community.
Delta Force has always tried to make a difference, and it will continue to do so in the future. he said.
"We have a tradition of integrity and valuing student opinion and student voice. We have a lot of experience fighting for students and the changes students want to see on campus," Craig said.
Stephanie Craig, Edmond, Okla., senior and holdover senator with Delta Force, said the coalition had always been an advocate for students.

Downs' transfer will be the sixth by a men's basketball player since Self arrived in Lawrence nearly three years ago.
During Saturday's victory, Downs was the lone Kansas player not to play. At one point in the second half, Kansas coach Bill Self approached Downs on the bench and spoke with him, but did not insert the 6-8 guard into the game. Self said
afterwards that Downs was too sick to play and that it would have been a good opportunity for Downs to see significant playing time.
Micah's tenure as a Kansas basketball player only lasted one semester," Self said. "Micah has decided to go home to resolve some personal issues. We wish Micah and his family the best."
Downs saw significant playing time from mid-November to mid-December, but inconsistency eventually led to fewer minutes. For the season, Downs averaged just 4.3 points per minute.
When Downs was in High school and was committed to Kansas, his father, Steve, said that Micah would declare for the NBA draft. Steve Downs later retracted that statement
I apologize to my former teammates and coaches for leaving at mid-year. I feel I can best deal with some personal problems closer to home that have been weighing on me over the last few months."

and Micah arrived on campus during the summer.
"Our family appreciates the treatment of Micah by the Kansas coaches, players and administration," Steve Downs said in a statement. "This is not a basketball issue. At this time in his life, being closer
to home will hopefully enable Micah to resolve some of his issues. We thank Kansas for its support and wish them the best of luck."

Authorities can view profiles on facebook.com

KANANS STAFF WRITER
The Web site facebook. com, known for connecting old friends and starting new friendships, may cause users unexpected trouble with the law.
Police have reportedly been monitoring the networking Web site for large parties at at least two universities. Though University of Kansas officials said they hadn't used the Web site to monitor the site's 22,000 KU members, they do have the capability of doing so.
The New York Times reported that Kyle Stoneman, a student at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., was convinced his party was broken up by the campus security force because he had posted it on facebook. Officers discovered underage drinkers at the party.
Stoneman and his friends fought back. They again posted a party on facebook, but this time when the university police showed up, they found cake and cookies with the word "beer" on them and a "cake-pong" table instead of a beer-pong table.
Other cases like Stoneman's occurred at schools such as the University of Kentucky and Northern Kentucky University, when students posted pictures of themselves illegally drinking in dorm rooms, according to The Courier Journal of Louisville, Ky.
No such accounts have been
reported at the University, but it would be easy for any employee of the University with a KU e-mail account, including the KU Public Safety Office, to set up a facebook account to monitor students.
Schuyler Bailey, spokesman for the office, said the department had no plans to monitor the Web site.
There are additional problems on top of getting in trouble with the law. At the University of Missouri, a task force has gone into effect for this semester to inform students about the consequences of facebook. Students are being educated in classrooms about the problems of putting personal information on their profiles.
"Students think facebook is just a one-on-one conversation, but it's not," said Mary Jo Banken, director of the MU News Bureau. "It's not a place to post a lot of information about yourself that is available for anyone to see."
"People are too trusting," Eversole said. "They put way too much information on there. Those who put their class schedules up there are just asking to get robbed or be stalked."
Ann Eversole, KU assistant to the vice provost for student success and dean of students, said she had heard comments about students posting photos to the site that show inappropriate behavior.

For a campus perceived as supportive of the Democratic Party, the reception was only lukewarm for U.S. Rep. Dennis Moore (D-Kan.) Tuesday night at the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics.
Moore said he had been invited to the home of an individual affiliated with the Peace and Justice Coalition in Lawrence before speaking at the institute. After a "nice conversation," Moore said protestors blocked his path as he left for the Dole Institute.
"They have the absolute right to speak their opinion — agree or disagree," he said. "Frankly, if it were just me I wouldn't mind, but I was late getting here."
Moore made it obvious, however, that the handful of students opposing him didn't hinder his excitement to speak to members of the Multicultural Scholars Program, of which approximately 120 students and 12 faculty advisers were in attendance. The Multicultural Scholars Program hosted the congressman's speech, "Balanced Budgets and Values: Leadership in 2006."

Police: Pepper spray use was appropriate
BY MIKE MOSTAFFA
mmostaffa@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The KU Public Safety Office determined an officer's use of pepper spray on a group of Jawhawk fans carrying goal posts after the KU football team's victory against Missouri in October was appropriate.
"Given the fact the officer felt like he was being charged, we found the officer's use of the spray justified." Chief Ralph Oliver said.
After the emotional victory, a group of fans carried a large piece of one of the goal posts from Memorial Stadium toward Massachusetts Street. A second group carrying another part of the disembled posts followed.
Brian Bizjack, Tulsa, Olka, junior who was part of the first group, said when the officers had asked the group to put the post down at 13th and Tennessee streets, the students complied. The second group was determined to parade its post down Massachusetts Street and had ignored the
officer's command, he said.
"He got angry after they ignored him," Bizjack said. "He told them a bunch of times."
Bizjack said he had seen an officer use pepper spray after the group dropped the posts and left the area. He said he hadn't seen the officer spray anyone directly in the face, but saw the officer staggering.
"He had his hands on his face and it looked like the cop who used the spray got the worst of it." Bizjack said.
The department wanted the

students to celebrate after a victory, but in a safe manner, rather than by carrying goal posts across busy intersections, Oliver said.
Oliver said in his 20 year career in law enforcement for the KU Public Safety Office, this was the first time he'd dealt with an incident involving an officer using pepper spray.

CHICAGO BAR & GRILL

Restaurant closes; students lose jobs
A sign that read, "Sorry for the inconvenience but this location is closed," greeted customers looking for lunch at Uno Chicago Grill Monday.
The restaurant, 3333 Iowa St., closed Monday. It offered a bar and grill atmosphere and was part of a national chain that featured deep dish, Chicagos-style pizza.
TUESDAY, JANUARY 31, 2006
The managers informed employees Monday morning they would no longer have a job at the establishment, said JuliAnn Bauer, Winfield sophomore and server at Uno. Bauer said she was surprised by the news.
"Somebody at work had mentioned it, but when we asked the managers, they all said that they couldn't say anything," she said.
Bauer said Saturday, her last day at work, was actually pretty busy and had a normal crowd.
Danny Barkofske, Prairie Village sophomore, and also a server at Uno, said he had a feeling that Uno would close because the servers weren't making that much money.
Members of management for Uno would not comment on the
situation, and the corporate offices could not be reached for comment.
Bauer said the management staff was trying its best to ease the pain of employees losing their jobs by assisting them with locating new jobs because of the abrupt closure of the restaurant.
"They are calling other restaurants in the area to see if they can help out anybody," Bauer said. "I lucked out because I found new job last week. But it's hard for me to be happy because my friends are out of a job."

Rescued well baby marries at 19
MIDLAND, Texas — "Baby Jessica," whose dramatic rescue from an abandoned Texas well was televised across the country 18 years ago, got married in a private ceremony, People magazine reported on its Web site.
Crews struggled for 58 hours to rescue Jessica McClure after she fell into an 8-inch-wide pipe in October 1987.
The two met at a day care center where Morales' sister worked with McClure, according to the magazine.
The celebrity magazine reported that McClure, now 19, married Daniel Morales, 32, at a rural church outside Midland, Texas, on Saturday. A sign on the door instructed guests not to take pictures or video, the magazine said.
The Associated Press
The case of 18-month-old Jessica created a nationwide sensation. Emergency crews rescued her — a dramatic moment covered on live television — after digging a parallel shaft and then breaking through the wall of the well.
SAG Awards surprise front-runners
LOS ANGELES — What had looked like a predictable Academy Awards season grew more intriguing with a few surprise winners at the Screen Actors Guild Awards Sunday.
The ensemble drama "Crash" beat out Oscar front-runner "Brokeback Mountain" for the overall cast honor, the guild's equivalent of a best-film prize.
Sandra Bullock expressed mild wonder backstage about the outcome.
"I'm still a little surprised. Not that they won," Bullock said, referring to her co-stars, "but that I was part of the group that won."
Reese Witherspoon, as singer June Carter in "Walk the Line," won best actress over presumed Oscar favorite Felicity Huffman of "Transamerica."
And Paul Giamatti, of the boxing drama "Cinderella Man," earned the guild's supporting-actor honor over George Clooney of the oil-industry thriller "Syriana."
The guild's other film prizes were more predictable. Philip Seymour Hoffman took the best-actor prize for his role as author Truman Capote in "Capote," and Rachel Weisz earned the supporting-actress honor for the murder thriller "The Constant Gardener," in which she plays a rabble-rousing humanitarian-aid worker.

Bathroom peepholes cause student to move
BY MIKE MOSTAFFA

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Heather Yates, a 27-year Olathe doctoral student, had been living at The Oaks, near the intersection of 23rd and Iowa streets, for only a few weeks after transferring to the University from the University of Missouri-Kansas City this semester.
Finding small peepholes in her bathroom last week compelled a KU student to move after only a month at her former apartment.
The mirror had been scratched with an object, Yates said, creating a spot on the mirror that made
"I can't sleep at night, and I just don't feel safe," Yates said.
Her father discovered the holes while using the bathroom during a family visit. What appeared to be a smudge on Yates' bathroom mirror turned out to be much more.
Above the spot on the mirror was a small hole in the wall's drywall and another hole about one and a half inches in length, she said. The two holes in the drywall align to enable a clear view of her bathroom, and further, into her bedroom.
it possible for someone to see through the other side.
She moved her possessions out of her apartment Monday. She found a new residency west of Iowa.
Yates is not satisfied with the Lawrence Police Department's investigation or the apartment manager's handling of her situation.
"Police and management are not taking this seriously, and that is absolutely ridiculous." she said.
Kim Murphree, a Lawrence Police spokeswoman, said police were still in the early stages of the investigation. She said undisturbed cobwebs behind the wall indicated that no
one had been spying there recently.
"We take every incident of this nature very seriously," Murphree said.
Murphree said although the responding officers did not observe any evidence of a video recording device attached to the wall, the department was looking into the incident.
Management at The Oaks could not be reached for comment Monday.

Military man, student and CBS TV fan returns to Kansas, family and friends after traveling a long, interesting road to the University
BY ANDREA CHAO
editor@kansan.com
CORRESPONDENT
Chris Evans is a University of Kansas student with unusual interests and life experiences ranging from riding his motorcycle to competing
in martial arts fights to serving in the U.S. Army.
"I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with my life, but I wanted to do something that was meaningful," Evans said.
E v- ans, 25, returned to Kansas after serving in the Army. He is in his first semester at the University of Kansas and is studying pre-architecture.
"I wanted to be close to my family," said Evans, who was born in Kansas City, Mo., and grew up in Topeka. "My parents begged me to come back home."
ORG LUCKY
Evans is a self-proclaimed "beach bur."
After living in Texas and Florida, coming back to Kansas has been somewhat of a
culture shock, he said.
"I can't go into a place without a shirt," Evans said. "I just want to know why people here are so uptight."
After graduating from Topeka's Seaman High School, Evans moved to Houston. He earned an associate's degree in automotive engineering and technology in 1999. In 2000, he decided to join the Army.
Now, a typical day for Evans is similar to that of many college students. He unwinds from school and work by cooking dinner and watching TV. His favorite shows include "CSI" and "Two and a Half Men."
What Evans does to
fund his education -
martial arts - is not
as typical. He said
he has been doing
martial arts since
he was six. Now
he earns $500 to
$1000 per fight,
depending on the competi-
tion.
"One of my best friends started it," he said, "and I said 'Hey, why don't I try it?"
Evans de-
nothed himself
Evans described himself as a typical college student with a slightly broader understanding of life. Family and friends are priorities for Evans, as well as his motorcycle His short-term goals include finishing college and attending graduate school.
"My overall
goal is I want to
retire comfortably at 50, on the beach," Evans said. "I hope to be happily married someday."

MULTICULTURALISM
Roadshow aims at diversity
BY ANNE WELTMER
aweltmer@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
This week kicked off the third annual Multicultural Roadshow, put on every spring by the KU Office of Admissions and Scholarships.
As opposed to the fall Rock Chalk Roadshow, which is for all students, the Multicultural Roadshow is directed toward minority students in Kansas, said Lisa Pinamonti Kress, director of the Office of Admissions and Scholarships.
Pinamonti Kress said the Multicultural Roadshow has increased the number of minority applicants, but did not know by how many.
The University does not offer special scholarships for these students. All of the scholarships offered are based on the quality of applicants, Pinamonti Kress said. The Endowment Meritorious scholarship is awarded to students who "enhance the diversity of the student body," according to the KU Office of Admissions and Scholarships Web site. Pinamonti Kress said that all students, not just minorities, are eligible for the award.
This year the Roadshow will go to Wichita, Kansas City and Topeka each week for two weeks.
Office staff members will make stops at high schools, middle schools, civic organizations, churches, and other places that receive University information less frequently. Kerri Lesh, KU admissions counselor, said they would drop off brochures and invite people to attend formal receptions scheduled for next week.
During the formal receptions in each city, there will be question and answer sessions, prize give-aways, pictures with Baby Jay, information tables for various University departments and programs, and a keynote speaker who will discuss how to pay for college and student services at the University. The KU Alumni Association will provide pizza.
Two groups that always send representatives are the Office of Multicultural Affairs and the Multicultural Resource Center, Juan Izaguirre, assistant director of the office, said. He went to Wichita last year and Kansas City the year before.
Izaguirre said, "I think it's a good time because it gives parents and students time to get a glimpse," of the University.
He said it was convenient for parents and students to meet not only representatives from the University, but also representatives from majors they are interested in.
Lesh said drop-offs were made in Topeka and Wichita on Monday and Kansas City on Tuesday. Next week, receptions will be held in Wichita on Monday, Topeka on Tuesday, and Kansas City on Wednesday.

KANSAN STAFF WRITE
Robin Jennison, GOP gubernatorial candidate, tells University of Kansas students that an increase in taxes will improve the state's overall economy during a KU College Republicans meeting at the Kansas Union on Tuesday night. He also spoke about the need for improvements in Kansas school districts.
That stern accusation came from Robin Jennison, the former Kansas house speaker who has entered the Kansas gubernatorial race, Tuesday night at the Kansas Union as the KU College Republicans opened their Gubernatorial Series.
"People elect a governor to make the tough decisions. Gov. Sebelius has not done that."
The first of three speakers that will take part in the series, Jennison made clear what his first priority as governor would be — fixing school finance in the state of Kansas.
Anna Faltermieer/KANSAN
Jennison spent a good part of his nearly hour-long speech lamenting how the current school finance formula — a state operated system — had taken money from other state projects such as the highway program, transportation and welfare. He called the current formula, which has been in place since 1992, "unsustainable."
He said taxation and the raising of money should be left up to the individual school districts, with the state subsidizing the counties — an idea that Jennison said worked before a restructuring of the school finance formula in 1992. Currently, money is distributed to each school district by the state, a policy that he said was inefficient because each district has specific needs.
Jennison continued to hammer away at Sebelius, saying she shied away from her duty as governor during last year's legislative decision on funding state schools and instead turned the decision over to the state Supreme Court.
Improving the state's economy was another issue that Jennison said was vital to Kansas' development.
"Johnson County cannot carry Kansas forever," he said, referring to the economic load that
the county carries for the state. "Johnson County is the best thing to happen to Kansas in a while; without it, Kansas would be sucking wind."
He added that the state needed to do more to encourage economic development throughout the state.
When asked about the recent attempt to repeal the illegal immigrant in-state tuition act, Jennison said he would support the movement. This is despite Jennison's still said immigration had been a major boon to his native western Kansas. Jennison hails from Healy, located 60 miles northeast of Garden City.

Students donate nearly 4,000 hours of service
The Center for Community Outreach, a volunteer organization for students on campus, provided nearly $70,000 worth of services to Lawrence and Douglas County. Nearly 4,000 hours of volunteer time was contributed between August and December of 2005.
Nicole Kelley
Last semester, CCO organized such programs as its annual "Trick or Treat So Kids Can Eat" on Halloween, where over 1,600 cans were collected for local homeless shelters. In the upcoming semester, plans are in the works for the "Into the Streets Week" campaign which will take place April 23 to 29.
t e. 51! N O W S - S
One hour of community service was equal to $17.55 which is based on the average hourly earnings and fringe benefits of all production on private, non-farm payrolls, not including supervisory workers. The Bureau of Labor Statistics developed the formula.
CAMPUS Steam whistle to blow at correct time today
The steam whistle typically heard throughout the University of Kansas campus to signal the beginning and end of classes should be accurate today.
After three days of sound ing five minutes late because of classes ending at 15 minutes past the hour instead of 20 minutes past the hour, the whistle was to be adjusted for today's classes.
George Cone, system director of mechanical systems, said yesterday he didn't know class schedules had changed. Facilities and Operations received word of the problem yesterday.
Don Steeples, Vice Provost for Scholarly Support, assured that the whistle would be accurate today. When the times were changed, adjusting the whistle wasn't part of the program, he said.
"in this is the most serious problem we encounter, we'll be lucky." Steeples said.

White House blocks inquiry
HURRICANE KATRINA
BY LARA JAKES JORDAN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The White House is crippling a Senate inquiry into the government's sluggish response to Hurricane Katrina by barring administration officials from answering questions and failing to hand over documents, senators leading the investigation said Tuesday.
In some cases, staff at the White House and other federal agencies have refused to be interviewed by congressional investigators, said the top Republican and Democrat on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. In addition, agency officials won't answer seemingly innocuous questions about times and dates of meetings and telephone calls with the White House, the senators said.
A White House spokesman said the administration is committed to working with separate Senate and House investigations of the Katrina response but wants to protect the confidentiality of presidential advisers.
"No one believes that the govern
ment responded adequately," said Sen. Joe Lieberman, D-Conn. "And we can't put that story together if people feel they're under a gag order from the White House."
Sen. Susan Collins, of Maine, the committee's Republican chair, said she respects the White House's reluctance to reveal advice to President Bush from his top aides, which is generally covered by executive privilege.
Still, she criticized the dearth of information from agency officials about their contacts with the White House.
"We are entitled to know if someone from the Department of Homeland Security calls someone at the White House during this whole crisis period," Collins said. "So I think the White House has gone too far in restricting basic information about who called whom on what day."
She added, "It is completely inappropriate" for the White House to bar agency officials from talking to the Senate committee.
White House spokesman Trent Duffy said the administration's dep
uty homeland security adviser, Ken Rapuano, has briefed House and Senate lawmakers on the federal response. A "lessons learned" report from Homeland Security Adviser Frances Fragos Townsend also is expected in coming weeks, Duffy said.
but he defended the administration's decision to prohibit White House staffers or other presidential advisers from testifying before Congress.
"There is a deliberate process, and the White House has always said it wants to cooperate with the committee but preserve any president's ability to get advice from advisers on a confidential basis," Duffy said. "And that's a critical need for any U.S. president and that is continuing influence how we cooperate with the committees."
Collins and Lieberman sidestepped questions about whether they plan to subpoena the White House to get the information they seek, though Collins said she does not believe subpoenaing the Homeland Security Department is necessary.

Club sports request Senate ad space
BY NICOLE KELLEY
nkelley@kansan.com
KANSAI STEFF WRIITE
The Student Senate Kansan Advertising Sub-committee is debating whether it should allow University club sports to use advertising space it provides to other campus organizations in the University Daily Kansan.
The sports clubs are already receiving money from KU Recreation Services, prompting the committee's reluctance on the issue. Built into their campus fees, students paid $62 to the KU Recreation Services, $2.25 of which was allocated to the various club sports. The committee must decide it would be fair for sports clubs to receive funding for advertising from two different organizations.
Any group that meets the requirements for general funding through Senate is also eligible to use the advertising space that has already been purchased. Sports clubs haven't used this space because of a rule that restricts Senate from using funds from two separate places for the same purpose.
"I think the main concern is one of money crossing over from the place it's being allocated," said Nolan T. Jones, Pittsburgh junior and communications director for KU Student Senate.
"In other words, I guess double-dipping is the main concern."
Senate is obligated to offer as many services to as many groups as possible. Jason Boots, Plano, Texas senior and Student Senate Executive Committee chairman, said. On an average day, Student Senate runs advertisements for 10 groups but has space for 16. It would not cost the Senate any additional amount if sports clubs were allowed to join.
"If we can do something for more groups without increasing our cost, I don't see why we wouldn't want to do it," Boots said.
The amount of funding a sports club receives from KU Recreational Services depends on the size of the club and the amount of money it brings in through fundraising. Of the money each club receives, the maximum amount that can be spent for advertising is restricted to $175.
"I definitely think we should be a part of it," Stephen Elliott, Anthony senior and president of KU Crew, said. "Sport club is like any other student organization on campus. The only difference is ours is of a competitive and athletic nature."
The Student Senate Kansan Advertising Sub-committee will hold a meeting this week to decide the issue. No meeting date has been set.

Brownback clarifies recent 'fruits'comment
Republican Sen. Sam Brownback, a potential presidential candidate, said Monday that he meant no offense to homosexuals when he used the word "fruits" in a recent interview
with Rolling Stone magazine.
In a lengthy profile titled "God's Senator," the magazine quotes the Kansas Republican as criticizing countries like Sweden that allow civil unions between same-sex couples.
"You'll know them by their fruits," Brownback said, quoting a biblical passage from Matthew.

Late eats go healthy
BY KRISTEN JARBOE

KANSAIN STAFF WRITE
Restaurants catering to the late-night bar crowd are trying to incorporate healthier food into their menus.
Pita Pit, 1011 Massachusetts St., which opened Jan. 20, is open until 3 a.m. daily with an emphasis on health food：“Fresh Thinking, Healthy Eating” is its motto.
"There's nothing greasy, nothing fried here," said Phillip Peck, one of Pita Pit's three owners. "Customers can go online to see how few calories are in our food."
Students immediately responded to the healthy alternative.
Traditional fast food restaurants, not usually known for their healthy food, also offer healthy alternatives, though sometimes you have to ask for them. Taco Bell, which stays open until 3 a.m., offers a freesco salsa that can be substituted for cheese.
"Our first Friday and Saturday that we were open, we got slammed by students coming in from the bars," Peck said. "It was pretty loud in here. The word had spread fast through Lawrence."
McDonald's restaurants offer a fruit and walnut salad, a fruit parfait, apple dippers, chocolate milk and white milk, and a variety of salads with low-fat dressing. The locations on 23rd and 6th streets are open 24 hours a day.
The restaurants' busiest times are Friday and Saturday nights between 1 a.m. and 3 a.m. with nurses, doctors, third-shift employees and, of course, students, said Patrick Manning, marketing supervisor for the four Lawrence McDonald's.
"McDonald's is at the top of sales every month, and this is mostly due to University students," Manning said.

Tryaki, a restaurant at 701 W. 23rd St., offers healthy food as well in its Chinese and Asian foods, said owner Sunny Liu. Its menu choices include fish, tuna, smoked salmon and salad. Tryaki delivers until 3 a.m. on Friday and Saturday.
"Our night hours are much busier than the lunch time," Liu said. "There's usually Friday and Saturday night parties and students are always hungry after that and call in."

Burns named as provost candidate
Jack Burns was announced as the second of five candidates for the provost position Monday.
Burns, 53, currently serves as the vice president for academic affairs and research for the three University of Colorado campuses.
Burns will be visiting campus for three days and give a public presentation entitled "What is KU's role in a flat world?" 4 p.m. Thursday at the Dole Institute of Politics.
He said although he did not have a preconceived agenda for his visit, he was already aware of issues with faculty salaries, classroom buildings and deferred maintenance projects.
The goal of his visit is to listen to what students, faculty and staff think the University needs. Burns said.
The second candidate for dean of the School of Social Welfare, Kimberly J. Strom-Gottfried, met with faculty and staff Monday afternoon.
Ann Weick, the current dean of Social Welfare, will retire at the end of spring semester.
Another issue Burns said he was a "big believer" in was learning communities, where students with similar academic interests live together. Burns said that his son was a member of one during his freshman year and that studies have shown the communities yield better grades and higher retention rates for freshmen.

University should publish evaluations
At the end of each semester, students are required to fill out course evaluations. Although professors urge us to consider these with the utmost importance, because they have an effect on the teachers' tenure and salary, for students they mean nothing but a waste of time. But what if we were allowed to see student evaluations before we enrolled in classes?
Given that the current state in which students receive information on professors is disheartening, Student Senate created an end of the semester online evaluation made public that mirrored the paper course evaluations; however, it contained a major difference: It was voluntary. The lack of incentive ensures its failure.
Making these course evaluations public can only serve to further faculty accountability and improve the quality of education for students. This isn't about helping students peruse classes seeking to find a "lenient" teacher or one with an easy workload. Instead, these course evaluations will aid them in finding classes that are best suited and most interesting to them. It also will benefit teachers by filling their classes with students who want to be in their classes, which means students would be more willing to participate and produce better work.
The Web site has a disclaimer
that says, "In a class of 55 students, if only three filled out an evaluation, those results won't really teach you anything. In fact, the three who bothered to fill out an evaluation have a good chance of being either very happy or very unhappy with the class."
In the end, students remain the victim in this current situation where the poorly conducted surveys are available publicly and the more legitimate course evaluations are withheld.
Yet that's exactly the situation. Most of the teacher's receive only a handful of ratings, if that. Another Web site with public student evaluations is ratemyprofessor.com. The national site seems to draw more students but the rating methods are dubious at best. The system uses rating factors such as "easiness," "helpfulness," "clarity" and the dubious "hotness total" to determine the quality of a professor.
Students will always inquire about the reputations of professors one way or another. It might as well be from a credible source. After all, we are supposed to be open and honest in our opinions on the course evaluations. Why can't the University be open with the students as well?

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Future of sport fans should be phoggy
Not available. I couldn't have thought of a better way to describe our "camping" program and student section.
On Monday I walked into Allen Fieldhouse to check out the new Hall of Athletics. I walked down the hall looking for campers and was pretty surprised. No campers. Then I saw the camping sign-up sheet, with camping suspensions listed at the top. Sure enough, a four-day suspension. The reason: "N/A."
Now, the suspension concept is well thought out and there are unwritten rules for the whole system. To avoid any confusion on the sheet, some well-intentioned student fan left space to announce suspension times and reasons. One valid suspension was listed, "Men's away basketball game, 2 hours."
Just like our student-fan organization, and, in the end, student support of our beloved team. They should have just written "We didn't feel like camping." Through a lack of accountability students have begun abusing the system in wavs just like this.
It is glaringly apparent, though, that our students and fans need better representation and organization.
I have camped each season for the last four years, and I strongly feel that both student-fan participation and the camping program are broken. I love my school and my Jayhawks, and while it hurts to see and admit the problems, we should re-evaluate how our fan program compares to the likes of Duke, Illinois, Michigan State
and many others.
In the camping world, the integrity of the system is in question as many groups often illegitimately add their names back to lists after missing "roll-calls." These problems and others, like cheating allegations directed at several of the well-established camping groups, occur every year. All of this, though, comes with the territory when you have a system lacking any formal, democratic leadership or organization.
I'm not suggesting we institute midnight yell practices like Texas A&M or the tenting seen at Duke. But without well-established fan organization and leadership, these programs are not even options. The future is up to you, the students.
I have my own vision,
"The Phog." Its members'
exclusive shirts reading
"Beware," filling the student
section with a "blue phog."
Membership would eventually
become selective and
exclusive and include incentives like seating at games, similar to the Orange-crush at Illinois.
SIXTH GROUP like this requires the help of both the student series and the Athletics Department, everyone's interest to improve the game-day experience and give the program a stronger imagine. But "The Phog" is just my idea. It's up to you, the students, to decide what the future will hold.

Science mixes with politics, culture and your personal life every day. Think of all the topics in the news where science flirts — or clashes — with society: Evolution versus intelligent design debates, stem cell research controversies, global warming concerns and avian bird flu fears.
strange, the same hormones could have health effects on other animals or people. Just another factor to consider if you're taking the pill.
Whether you're a science buff or aren't, there's an undeniable connection between science and you that's foolish, even dangerous, to ignore. Ignoring its impact on your life means you're not trusting science; you're trusting in escience — the absence of knowledge, or ignorance.
Here's a quick Q&A to illustrate how a basic understanding of science can help you form educated opinions.
Q. If birds are the ones getting avian flu,why are scientists worried about a human pandemic?
A. The H5N1 influenza virus strain (avian flu) has been infecting the media, as well as people and birds in Western Europe and Asia since 2003. Right now, The World Health Organization reports 149 people in Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Thailand, Turkey and Vietnam who have contracted bird flu. The concern is that the virus will mutate and pass from person to person, which could cause a pandemic. Knowing more about how viruses are spread can keep avian flu and other animal viruses in check.
A. Brain development begins at week three, and speeds up around week 25. Knowing details about the cellular development of fetuses might seem a little too detailed, but understanding more about how the classic egg-sperm combo actually turns into a baby can help you gauge your stance on stem cell research and abortion.
These topics involve your health decisions. They influence laws that will affect your life. They drive international politics. It's crucial that you know as much as you can about how the world works and how you fit into it. To do so, instead of ncescience, use science.
Q. At what point in its growth does a fetus develop neural and cognitive abilities?

- Evanhoe is a Derby senior in chemistry.
BECCA EVANHOE opinion@kansan.com
Q. Do birth control pills have any environmental effects?
A. About 12 million American women use hormonal birth control. Studies in the last decade have revealed that excess hormones from the pill are, well, peed out by women into wastewater. The hormones aren't removed by water treatment plants, and move on to the environment where they seem to alter the sexes of some amphibians and fish. In short, birth control hormones can turn male frogs into female frogs. Why does it matter? Other than being completely
Q. What are genetically modified foods.
A. From one perspective, farmers have been "genetically modifying" foods for thousands of years through selective breeding, but it's all been external; they select a few specific plants or animals with the traits they want (like big, fat ears of corn or a chicken's ability to lay enormous eggs), and breed them the "natural" way. Today's concept of genetically modified (GM) foods means scientists have manipulated the actual genes of plants and animals to get those traits. Some GM processes even aim to put extra vitamins or pesticides in these foods. Knowing more about these processes can help you decide if you want to put GM foods in your body.
A. It's undeniable that the Earth's climate is getting warmer. But it's important to note how much warmer it's gotten in the last hundred years, and how quickly the warming has happened. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the world's climate has warmed by 5 to 9 degrees Fahrenheit since the last ice age, 18,000 to 20,000 years ago. Are we to blame for this round of heating? Most environmental scientists will answer a resounding yes. Our automobile and industry exhaust is leading to a so-called unnatural jump in the Earth's temperature.
Q. True or false: Global warming is part of the Earth's natural cycle of cooling and heating.

Politicians duke it out on Capitol Hill
Welcome to the Washington Death Match, where big-time players in the political wrestling arena savagely fight to the death.
This brawl has been intense since Big Man Bush stepped into the arena, backed up by his tag-teammate, Iron Fist Dick. For those of you that haven't had your political cherry popped, the current fight for power on Capitol Hill resembles an uncontrolled catfight — claws sharpened and fangs bared. This battle introduces a new level of mudslinging, each party taking every chance to hit the other below the belt.
The Conservatives have been beating down on the Liberals, and if the Democrats want to get out of this ring on top, they're going to have to step up their game and pack more power behind their punches. Unfortunately, neither party can really win this dispute until they start working together.
The left wing's recent assaults have been based on the secrecy of the Bush administration and the questionable legality of some of its actions.
Republicans swung right back
P. Y. S. KOCH
BETSY MCLEOD
opinion@kansan.com
when Bush, in a January speech to Veterans of Foreign Wars, accused liberals of "giving comfort to our adversaries" and showing "irresponsible behavior" in blocking an extension on the USA Patriot Act.
Democrats responded to the attack and smacked Republicans in the face with a challenge on Congress' ethics, accusing the right wing of doublespeak and using the party's influences to help special interest groups. This blow to the Republicans was a double whammy in light of the Jack Abramoff scandal. Therefore, it will be interesting to see exactly how the neo-cons strike back.
Let's get it on!
- McLeed is an Overland Park sophomore in English and journalism.
Ah, yes, the rivalry between the parties has never been fiercer, and America hasn't been this
divided since the Civil War. The American people can now rightly be suspicious of the intentions of every politician on the hill thanks to lobbying scandals and slanted media coverage.
It seems like everyone is on the defensive, from Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, who apologized to 33 Republican senators after he singled them out for ethical corruption, to George W.himself, who reprimanded Democrats for not supporting the Republican's efforts to fight terrorism.
In a January 11 Associated Press article, Democratic National Committee communications director Karen Finney responded to Bush's frustration with liberal criticism by retorting, "The Bush administration's attack, distract and distort tactics reflect a Nixonian paranoia that is un-American. It's shameful that once again the Bush administration resorted to attacking the patriotism of fellow Americans rather than answering legitimate questions surrounding the president's failures in Iraq."
Ouch, that's got to sting.
But don't despair, fellow Americans, former presidents Bill Clinton and George Bush Sr., along with Bob Dole and Senator John McCain, have been working together to promote bipartisanship. The two parties have worked together in the past. Hopefully we can pull this thing we call a country together and work toward bandaging our bleeding morale. For now, enjoy the fight and make sure to get a good seat, because the forecast for the upcoming months is deliciously vicious.
The bottom line is, although the economy has prospered, the middle class is shrinking and the gap between the rich and the poor is growing. The government's delayed response to hurricane Katrina and confessions of bribery and fraud remind us exactly how large that gap is, and how out of touch our representatives are with the people they represent.

The twelfthman Jayhawk fans go the distance
Jayhawk fans go the distance in the name of KU spirit
At count point in time after an emergency
By Ashley Pate Kansan correspondent
Most students left campus after finals to enjoy winter break and the upcoming holiday season. But vacation couldn't keep some die-hard fans away from Fort Worth, Texas for the Jayhawk's 10th bowl game appearance, this time in the Fort Worth Bowl against the University of Houston.
Ryan Boehler and Zach Pope, Olathe juniors, drove to Fort Worth with two friends the night before the game. Pope drove the entire eight
hours while his buddies slept and listened to music.
Molly Tye, Lawrence senior, also drove south on Interstate 35 to Fort Worth with some friends. Tye said she was a big football fan, and wanted to support friends on the team.
"We wanted to support the football team as much as we do the basketball team, and we wanted to see them win," Pope said.
"You could tell that the players were really excited and the fans were feeding off their
Before the game it was obvious that the Kansas fans would overpower the Houston fans with a sea of blue in the stands. Outside of Amon G. Carter Stadium were two invitation-only tents, one for Houston and one for Kansas. Boehler said he noticed that the Kansas tent was completely packed.
excitement," Tye said. "There was a lot of energy between the players and the fans."
"We looked at the Houston tent and there was maybe four
people there," Boehler said.
Kansas overpowered Houston, winning 42-13, but the celebration didn't stop on the field. Many fans ventured downtown after the game to eat. Tye and
While Boehler and Pope were waiting in the stands for the game to start, the marching band performed on the field.
"For some reason the band didn't play the alma mater, so we started singing it with some guys we'd met before the game. Soon everyone was singing it," Boehler said.
Tye said she was sitting in a restaurant with some of the basketball players and fans when "We Are the Champions" by Queen started playing.
her friends were there among many other Kansas fans.
Boehler and Pope, however, couldn't join in the singing, because they had to head home immediately after the
game, arriving in Olathe at 7 a.m. the next morning, Boehler said. Many students and Kansas fans did the same because of family holiday plans.
Despite the distance and the limited amount of time spent in Fort Worth, the trip was worth it to fans.
"I don't just go to the football or basketball games, I support all sports," Tye said. "Of course I'd go again."

OUR OPINION
Volunteering worth more than money
PAGE 5A
More than 1,300 students volunteered during the fall semester. Their efforts were split among causes such as collecting food for the needy, cleaning up historic sites, aiding the victims of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and mentoring children.
The announcement by the Center for Community Outreach that the work of those students was worth $70,000 is an indicator of how important volunteering is. CCO's financial estimate that all that service was worth $17.55 an hour may be a tad inflated, but that does not discount the inherent value and need for such work.
Most college-aged people do not appear to be community-oriented. In its 2005 report, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that those in their early 20s volunteered the least of any age group, behind those 65 and older. What's more, those who work part-time or are unemployed volunteer less than those with full-time jobs. The stereotype that college students are activists may just be that ... a stereotype.
Enjoying the college experience is something all students should do, but there is also a need to give back to the community. Sixty-six programs have

Stance: More students should realize the value of volunteering.
connections through CCO, 15 of them specifically supported by the center. Students can contribute in numerous ways, from working at the Lawrence Public Library to playing with animals at the Douglas County Humane Society.
Besides being a benefit to the community, individuals gain from volunteering. The Partners in Community Service at Auburn University gives numerous benefits for volunteering, ranging from developing new skills that can be used in one's career to building confidence.
The important thing to do is to volunteer, and that takes self-motivation. The bureau reported that two out of five people start volunteering by taking the initiative and approaching service organizations.
Go out and volunteer.
Your time may not be worth $17.55,but it's still worth a lot.

Samuel Alito will soon be confirmed as the next justice of the Supreme Court. You will not miss this news event when it happens, for it will
be marked by much discussion over the future of Roe v. Wade, the landmark abortion case.
Being in Lawrence, there is no doubt that much of this talk, and concurrent handwringing, will come from the left, but it may be time for them to think about some new political realities and perhaps even consider the unthinkable: Quietly letting Roe die.
make them then?
This may be anathema, as I am sure it was to my feminist theory class when I proposed it last semester; after all, it is a bit counter intuitive to think that making abortion bans a straight-up election issue may well bring about the destruction of the Republican Party. But as Joshua Green explained in an Atlantic Monthly article last January, there may be a light at the end of the tunnel for Liberals.
Influence Money Recognition among the 30 percent of voters who bother to show up
RIP
WY
For years, the major pro- life contingent of the GOP, and the Christian groups that support them, has gotten away with making outlandish statements and introducing legislation that they know would never get past a Supreme Court that includes Sandra Day O'Connor. Why
at the midterm elections. This has served them well in keeping the culture wars alive long enough to create such vaunted demographics as 'values voters.'
However, a clear majority of Americans are pro-choice; the details of parental notification or funding for access may be muddled, but when push comes to shove, most people want that choice, and want others to have it.
If the Supreme Court no longer stands in the way of legislatures and Congress in banning abortion, all of a sudden those Americans have a reason to go to the polls. Quite simply, we are lazy; yes we elect a president who nominates justices, and a Senate that confirms them, but if it is not a clear decision with immediate consequences, then we are not to be bothered.
With Roe overturned, and the next election perhaps the trigger that may shut down abortion clinics in a state or across the country, suddenly the Republican Party could see itself split asunder between its moderates and extremists while trying desperately not to become a minority party under generations of young people, now gaining the vote. They have known nothing but an America of choice.
Liberals may cringe at the thought of putting one of their most cherished rights up to a vote, but that shows the timidity of the left in general, and the Democratic Party in particular, in engaging the political debate of the country.
Kevin McKernan/KANSAN
Liberals may cringe at the thought of putting one of their most cherished rights up to a vote, but that shows the timidity of the left in general, and the Democratic Party in particular, in engaging the political debate
of the country. Rather than relying on courts, the prochoice movement should be out making its case to the electorate and putting the debate on its own terms. In a representative democracy, a showdown at the ballot box it is vastly preferable to the political waltz that presidential nominees and potential justices are currently forced to dance to.
If the Democrats cannot make their case to an American public that is with them, if they shrink from an opportunity to win back the national mandate, they then have nobody else to blame for their failure. After thirty years and hundreds of millions of dollars spent on the culture wars, it is time to stop the hand-wringing, step up, and win the damn thing.

COMMENTARY
Ecology worthy of more study, recognition
It's not my job to hug trees. I am an ecologist. As a young scientist, I already have experienced several occasions where, upon describing myself as an ecologist, I have been pegged as a Birkenstock-wearing tree-hugger who communicates with squirrels through ESP.
The all-too-common confusion between environmentalism and the science of ecology is generally frustrating, but when other scientists make this mistake, it's particularly infuriating. How did ecology get this mistaken identity, and why is it perpetuated even among scientists?
FREDERICK T.
Ecologists study the interactions that organisms have with each other and with their surroundings. It is "big-picture" biology and, like other sciences, it makes observations, asks questions, formulates hypotheses, runs experiments and draws conclusions about the way the world works. Ecology is involved with accounting for the species on earth and for describing the roles they play in the natural world, affecting creatures other than themselves.
This large-scale view of the natural world can have great benefits for humans. Take for example the conundrum of
HEATHER YORK

the avian flu. Until recently, the flu was unheard of; now it makes headlines. Where did the disease come from, and how does it spread? Can it make it to the United States? To Kansas?
Some of my colleagues in ecology and evolutionary biology here at the University are answering these very questions not by peering through a microscope but instead by figuring out which bird species serve as hosts for the disease. By determining the ways in which these birds interact with their environments, ecologists can predict where the birds may migrate, which in turn explains the extent to which the flu will spread. By learning more about the flu's hosts and their relationships with their surroundings, we come to know more about the disease itself. Aah, the beauty of ecology.
All of this aside, as an undergraduate at another institution, I was shocked
All of this aside, as an undergraduate at another institution, I was shocked that so many science majors had either scant ecological training or none at all, yet, as an ecology major, I took courses in physics, chemistry, and all aspects of biology. I can't imagine calling myself a scientist without having had these courses, but a similar sentiment wasn't necessarily shared by my friends with other majors.
that so many science majors had either scant ecological training or none at all, yet as an ecology major, I took courses in physics, chemistry, and all aspects of biology. I can't imagine calling myself a scientist without having had these courses, but a similar sentiment wasn't necessarily shared by my friends with other majors. The general
take on it was that they studied the real nitty-gritty of the universe and that studying the larger scheme of things is a pretty fluffy endeavor.
Unfortunately, there is an example of this thinking that's outside of my undergraduate experience but even closer to home: The recently implemented Kansas Biosciences Initiative, which has a goal of bringing Kansas to the forefront of biological research. While the name suggests inclusion of all aspects of biology, there is very little focus on ecological research in favor of studies based in genetics, biochemistry, pharmaceuticals and the like.
While I do not dispute the importance of these fields to the greater good, it is shameful that studying relationships between diseases and hosts, pests and crops, and invasive and native species isn't viewed in the same light. As a branch of biology, ecology is essential to studies of life on earth and makes invaluable contributions to humankind.
Never mind the hugging. Without ecology, biology cannot see the forest for the trees.

MTV actor charged in hit-and-run fatality
NEWYORK — An actor who appeared in the MTV series "Undressed" has been charged with fatally striking a graduate student with his vehicle and then fleeing the scene.
Wole Parks, who played Brett in the sixth season of the soap opera, pleaded not guilty Monday to charges of
operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated, leaving the scene of an accident and third-degree aggravated, unlicensed operation, officials said.
The collision early Sunday killed 25-year-old Hannah Engle, a nonprofit management and Judaic studies student at New York University.
Parks, 23, had a previous drunk-driving conviction and a suspended license, said prosecutor Jonathan Eisenberg.

'Earl' actress pleased with complexity of role
PASADENA, Calif. — Jaime Pressly says Joy, her breakout character on NBC's "My Name Is Earl," is more than a dozen characters from the South rolled into one.
"I've thoroughly enjoyed playing her from the day I set foot on that set," the 28-year-old actress said Sunday.
Specifically, Pressly says she modeled the way Joy talks from three states: a nasally tone from Virginia, the
way some Arkansas women talk out the side of their mouths and her own fast-talking North Carolina accent
The range she's shown with Joy has enabled her to break down stereotypes about her as an actress, she said.

Three players scored in double figures and 11 different KU players
Rush, who tied a career high with 24 points and also hauled in 11 rebounds, led the Jayhawks. It was the eighth straight game that Rush scored in double figures.
Rush helped put the game away early in the second half, scoring 12 points in the half's opening eight minutes. Rush drove into the lane for baskets and poured in three-point shots. He drilled 4-of-6 long-distance attempts.
The reverse dunk in the second half wasn't Rush's lone big jam. Rush dunked the ball again in the first half. He stole the ball, sprinted to the basket.
leaped into the air and threw his arm backward for a tomahawk slam.
In front of a raucous crowd, Kansas won its fourth straight contest.
"I don't want to play Kansas right now," Rush said. "Those boys are tough right now."
Raskethall Notes:
Chalmers shines
Freshman guard Mario Chalmers was named Big 12 Rookie of the Week by the conference on Monday. Chalmers averaged 18 points and 6.5 assists during two games last week. Chalmers is the second player from Kansas to be named player of the week.
Chasing greatness
After Rush's 24 points, he currently is averaging 14.6 points per game, which has tied him for the most points per game as a freshman with Danny Manning.
Back in the groove
Sophomore center Sasha Kaun's double-digit scoring effort was the first from Kaun since a Jan. 4 game against Yale.
Halftime honor
The Kansas women's volleyball team was recognized at halftime by athletics director Lew Perkins.

Decisive plays that led to the victory against TTU
After Rush hit a three-point shot from senior guard Jeff Hawkins, senior guard Steven Vinson hit another three-point shot on the next possession to make the score 43-20 with 1:11 to play.
At the 14:43 mark in the first half, freshman guard Brandon Rush missed a shot, got his own rebound and scored to give Kansas a 15-4 lead.
A rush went on a personal 7.0 run to open the second half, which was capped by a layup with 11.56 remaining to make the score 63 40. In his run, Rush had a three pointer and a dunk as well.
At the 9:43 mark of the second half, sophomore forward Darnell Jackson went up to grab an offensive rebound and dunked it on his way down to cap a 14.0 Kansas run. Daniel Run.

Skill and size wins

KANSAN SENIOR SPORTSWITTER

Kansas outrebounded Texas Tech 55-28 and had 18 offensive rebounds. In their last game, the Jayhawks had only six offensive rebounds in their 95-85 victory against Iowa State.
The legendary coach, who has just about seen it all, couldn't bear to watch anymore. After sophomore forward Darnell Jackson snagged another offensive rebound and slammed the ball with two hands, Knight had enough.
While Julian Wright hugged teammate Sasha Kaun on the sideline with a wide smile on his face, Texas Tech coach Bobby Knight put his head in his lap.
The offensive rebounds and exciting put backs were a large reason Kansas was able to defeat Texas Tech 86-52 Monday night.
Kansas started the rebounding clinic early and didn't let up. On the first possession of the game, sophomore guard Russell Robinson missed on a jump shot, but Wright was there to put it back right away and give the Jayhawks an early lead.
Knight said after the game the reason Kansas was able to be so successful on the offensive glass was because of its quickness.
Self was searching for a combination of big men that worked well with the improving play of the starting guards. He started Kaun and Wright together for the third time in a row and seemed to be settling in on a big man rotation.
Wright started his third game in a row Monday night alongside Kaun and both were aggressive early. They gave the KU guards second and third opportunities to score on possessions.
"We had a size advantage tonight, so we thought that was something we obviously had to take advantage of that," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "I thought Sasha and Julian both got us off to a good start. But everyone got in there tonight and did some good things."
"Quickness is more important to them," Knight said. "Their big kids are mobile. They move well. It is a team that has been coached very well, and they get the most out of themselves."
"Before the game, coach told us to crash the boards," Jackson said. "Mainly, he told Brandon to crash the offensive glass. We just took care of business and went out there and did what coach told us to do."
Wright assisted on three of Kaun's five baskets in the game.
Kansas outrebounded Texas Tech 28-12 in the first half. The Jayhawks had 12 offensive rebounds in the first half; the Red Raiders had two.
"I do know this: I believe Sasha benefits more than anyone else playing with Julian," Self said. "He does the best job of sealing, and Julian does the best job of finding the open man."

Basketball cheers and jeers
Knight doesn't have the best fashion sense.
Best fan attire: The person in the front row dressed up like texas tech coach Bobby Knight. The logo patches on the black sweater made the outfit.
Best sign: "Could young kornheiser take Wilbon?" I'm keeping my fingers crossed for that to make tomorrow's 'Pardon the Interruption' on LSPN. Michael Wilbon better give the baby lay hawks some credit.
Unexpected appearance at the Fieldhouses SportsCenter anchors Scott Van Pelt and Neil Everett.
Everett got away with wearing the Hawaiian shirt because that's kind of his thing and at least it was Kansas blue
Worst gear: The texas tech red and black striped warm up pants
Best tan line: "This game is so unexciting because we're crushing them. And I'm loving it." Cheers: Freshman guard Brandon Rush. Please give the KU

This allows players six years to graduate. The rate for this year's freshman class will not be calculated until 2012. The six departed players will not be factored in.
The NCAA requires a 50 percent graduation rate. NCAA Representative Eric Christianson said the NCAA would not punish schools that fell below the 50 percent line until at least 2008. At that time, probation would likely be the first punishment administered.
Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said paying close attention to student athletes' performances in the classroom was vital to keeping the graduation success rate intact.
"You have to monitor everything closely," he said. "It can affect the amount of scholarships you get next year."

As for Kansas State, well, Kansas needs some revenge for that game, and will come out extra-focused. The same applies for Missouri. Kansas should be favored in every game except against Texas on Feb. 25 in Austin, Texas. But again, the way the layhawkeyes are playing, there is no reason they can't win. Who knows how good they will be by then? They are every bit as talented as the Longhorns, if not more so, and could be better players by game time.
Okay, so a 14-2 conference record isn't likely, but it is possible. A 10-6 record is certainly within reach. A team with the No. 1 shooting percentage defense in the country and a sudden offensive burst of 90 points per game during the past five games, no team will want to see Kansas in its bracket on Selection Sunday when, not if, the Jayhawks are selected.

MVP at top of game
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DETROIT — There is somebody who can beat NFL MVP Shaun Alexander at his own game.
Erik Anderson, the founder of the American Foundation for ... Chess?
Alexander said the Seattle-area entrepreneur was the last person to beat him at one of his many loves outside of football.
"Yep, first or second week of the season. But he got lucky," Alexander said, feigning disgust.
Alexander is at the top of his day-job profession this week, a potential Seahawks free agent, league rushing champion and NFL record holder with 28 touchdowns this season. And he is about to play in its ultimate
game, Sunday's Super Bowl against Pittsburgh.
Yet chess is just one of the many sides to Alexander that the nation never sees.
Much of the nation doesn't know Alexander has a foundation in his name that focuses on leadership and character modeling for fatherless, teenage men.
"I love seeing young men go finish high school, going to college, getting married. It's a great honor to help kids do that," he said.
Anderson's nonprofit chess federation has also started a program to teach chess to grade-school children across the country to improve critical thinking, math and problem-solving skills.
Hanging with kids, that's another game Alexander loves to play.

No.4 Villanova survives rallies beats Louisville
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHILADELPHIA — Allan Ray matched his season high with 26 points and No. 4 Villanova equaled its best start in the Big East with a 79-73 victory against Louisville on Monday night.
The Wildcats (16-2, 7-1) twice seemed to have control of the game with a double-digit lead but the Cardinals (14-7, 2-6) pulled close twice before losing for the fifth time in six games.
As usual, Villanova relied on its four guards for almost all of its offense. Mike Nardi had 20 points, Randy Foye added 19, all but two in the first half, and Kyle Lowry had eight. They came into the game accounting for 79 percent of the Wildeats' points and the four had all but
five of the points in the 72-70 last-second win over Notre Dame on Saturday.
Villanova started 7-1 in the Big East in 1982-83.
Taquan Dean had 23 points and seven assists for Louisville, which continues to struggle in its first season in the Big East. The Cardinals, who were ranked seventh in the preseason poll and reached as high as No. 4 during the season, fell out of the Top 25 on Monday.
Villanova had an 11-point lead in the first half that Louisville cut to five at the half. The Wildcats again used the three-pointer, they finished with 14, to pull away to a 63-48 lead, but the Cardinals chipped away by going inside and they got within 70-69 with 3:40 to play on a basket by David Padgett.

Owens visits Denver in search of trade
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Terrell Owens and his agent visited Denver on Monday, talking with coach Mike Shanahan to see if he might be a fit with the Broncos.
Owens is under contract with Philadelphia, but the Eagles have given him permission to seek a trade.
there was no deal, told The Associated Press the volatile receiver had a good meeting with Shanahan.
Owens and his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, were shown by KCNC-TV at the Denver airport on their way out of town Monday night.
Denver is a suitor, and a person familiar with the negotiations, who spoke on condition he not be identified because
The coach does have a history of taking chances on so-called risky players. Some, like Gerard Warren and Todd Sauerbrun, have worked out. Others, like Maurice Clarett and Dale Carter, haven't.
"Whoever that guy might be ... there's always a possibility if somebody handles himself the right way, they could come into this organization," Shanahan said. "But they're going to have to live by the standards we practice."
The day after the Broncos lost to Pittsburgh in the AFC championship game, several Broncos said they would welcome Owens in their locker room.
"If it would work anywhere, I think it would work here because of the guys in the locker
room," center Tom Nalen said. "Guys would keep him straight. I think he'd conform. He'd fit in here."
In November, the Eagles suspended Owens for the remainder of the season for his repeated criticism of the team, Donovan McNabb and several other issues.
Owens is due $7.5 million if the Eagles keep him on their roster after March 1. He has five seasons remaining on the $49 million contract he signed in 2004.

Canfield OVERNOR
Ken Canfield, founder of the Kansas City-based National Center for Fathering, stands with members of his family as he announces his candidacy for the Republican gubernatorial nomination Tuesday at Clark Elementary School in Wichita.
GOP candidate joins race
BY ROXANA HEGEMAN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WICHITA — Ken Canfield, author of several books and articles on fathering, jumped Tuesday into the race for the Republican gubernatorial nomination.
Canfield came back to the Wichita elementary school he attended as a child to make the announcement in the first stop in a statewide tour that will take him to nine cities over the next two days. The Wichita native lives in Overland Park.
"It is true I have not been involved directly in the political process ... The bottom line: I am not a politician," he said about cheering 75 supporters who gathered in the Clark Elementary School gymnasium. "But what I bring to the mainstream is something new and fresh — that ingenuity, that drive, that pioneering spirit that I learned."
Canfield, 52, founded the Kansas City-based National Center for Fathering in 1990. The private, nonprofit group provides training and support for fathers to become mentors
for their children. The program was praised by First Lady Laura Bush during her visit to Kansas City last October.
Canfield has written several books and articles on the subject, including "7 Secrets of Effective Fathers" and "The Heart of a Father." He was one of the founding members of former Vice President Al Gore's private-sector Father to Father initiative.
In a statement, he said, "The reason I'm running for public office is simple. Kansas families and businesses are seeking a governor who can provide the vision and leadership to guide our state to a more prosperous future."
While short on specifics, his first campaign stop touched on some of the issues framing his campaign better schools and a better business climate to promote growth.
"If we are going to grow as a state, we are going to have to be pro-growth, pro-business," he told supporters.
Canfield said he wants to take Kansas schools from good
to great.
"To do so we must examine how we allocate resources to our schools to insure that the maximum amount of resources are invested in our teachers, and encourage parental involvement in our children's education," he said in a letter posted on his Web site.
At the same time, he said, the state must develop a tax policy that encourages growth.
"The principle of simple and low tax rates are necessary for our economy to be strong and vibrant," he wrote.
Pressed for specifics on how he was going to balance his stated goals of better schools with low business taxes, Canfield replied that it is a complex, challenging issue. He said this early in the campaign he had not yet formed a position on whether the state was spending enough on education or studied the thick budgets.
Canfield joins a growing field of Republicans hoping to unseat Democratic Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, who is expected to run again.

"This is an inspiration to me, it really is," Moore said to open his speech. "You are the students who really understand the need of a quality education, and are helping others get the same, I see this great leadership."
Primarily discussing money and our nation's problems with it. Moore touched on the increasing national debt, now at $8.1 trillion, dwindling social security funds and public schooling spending. His voice cracked when he retold stories of U.S. troops' economic struggles.
Moore's speech lasted less than half an hour, but he had time to touch on many subjects, starting with the "debt tax" and closing with a story about passing legislation requiring the
ty, but had a hard time believing everything he said.
"He's looking for some things that aren't reality," Cullors said. "The whole 'putting your money where your mouth is' part, when the national deficit is $8.1 trillion, I don't know how much more you can put out."
United States to cover the travel expenses troops acquire while on their two-week "Rest and Recuperation Leave Plan."
Kasey Cullors, St. Louis junior, was glad to see the congressman speak at the Universi-
"Whatever you think of our situation in Iraq, we have an obligation to support our troops and their families," Moore said.
He also expressed distaste toward the death gratuity benefit, or the money those left behind receive upon losing a family member, which is $12,000. Moore is pushing to raise the payment to $100,000.
Renate Mai-Dalton, director of the multicultural scholars program and associate professor of business, said all in attendance would benefit from Moore's speech.
"The least we can do is put our money where our mouth is," Moore said of supporting American soldiers. "A measure of value is not always what people say, but where we spend our money."
"We consider our students as leaders on campus," Mai-Dalton said. "It's good for our students to hear from outside the campus on the direction our country is going. We're not in our own little world in Kansas."

St. Louis to hire Haslett
ST. LOUIS — The last of Jim Haslett's six seasons as New Orleans Saints coach was a disaster built upon the devastation wrought by Hurricane Katrina.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Away from that turmoil and the 3-13 record it produced, he'll try to rebuild his career as the St. Louis Rams' defensive coordinator.
"He's a guy who has been through it all, and it won't be long before he has a head coach again," new Rams coach Scott Linhan said Tuesday. "I know that and I'm realistic about it."
NFL
"I really believe he's exactly what we're looking for."
But, as he said in his introductory news conference, choosing a defensive coordinator was his most important hire.
The Rams also named Greg Olson as offensive coordinator. He spent the past two seasons with Detroit, first as quarterbacks coach.
("If) he gets another head coaching job, that's a good thing, that means we've done well." Linehan said. "My job is to hire a good staff under Jim so that we can promote within.
"I wouldn't look at that as a risk, I'd look at it as a win-win situation."
NFL/MLB
Chiefs, Royals agree to stay
BY DAVID TWIDDY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Chiefs and the Royals on Tuesday signed agreements that would keep them at their Kansas City stadiums through 2031.
The new stadium leases, replacing ones that would have expired in 2015, are contingent on Jackson County voters approving a pair of tax issues that would help pay for millions of dollars in renovations to Arrowhead and Kauffman stadiums, which are owned by the Jackson County Sports Complex Authority and leased to the Chiefs and Royals, respectively.
Moments after Chiefs owner Lamar Hunt and Royals president Dan Glass, son of owner David Glass, signed the leases, county legislators voted unanimously to put a 3/8-cent sales tax and a "compensating user tax" on the April 4 ballot in jackson County.
"I think we took a big step forward," said county legislator and former Chiefs player Fred Arbanas.
The focus now shifts to persuading voters to approve the taxes. Hunt and Glass said their organizations would contribute heavily to any campaign, as they did in an unsuccessful attempt last year to impose a stadium renovation tax in five counties in the two-state metropolitan area.
Jackson County officials said they have run out of money to pay for repairs at the stadiums and fear they would default on the leases next year, possibly allowing the teams to move elsewhere.
Free throws CONTINUED FROM PAGE 11A
at the stripe. Two of its best free throw shooters, Wayne Simien and Aaron Miles, got to the line for a majority of the attempts and were able to get in a rhythm. Simien, who shot 82 percent from the line, attempted 6.7 free throws a game.
This year, Kaun frequents the line most often for the Jayhawks. However, he is only attempting 3.6 free throws per game. Giles only averages 1.5 free throw attempts per game.
So how are the Jayhawks supposed to improve their free throw woes?
"Practice," said freshman guard Brandon Rush, who shoots 74 percent from the line. "That's all it takes is practice. We practice a lot on free throws but I just think they need to come in on their own time and practice on them."
Kaun estimated he shot 50 to 100 free throws per day in practice, but admitted practice free throws and game free throws were two totally different beasts.
"When you're shooting on your own, you're relaxed and by yourself, but when you're shooting them in a game, there's more pressure out there," Kaun said.
Kaun is one example that a player can improve his shooting with a little coaching. He
said that coaches suggested to him earlier in the season to get a wider base while at the line. Last season, Kaun shot 33 percent from the line and in the preseason opener against Fort Havs State, he was 5-for-10.
Moody appears to have undergone a similar transformation since the Missouri game. Before the Nebraska game, Moody paused twice during his shooting motion, once at his chin and then again at the top right before his release.
Against Nebraska, Moody had a noticeably more fluid motion with no pauses. The change resulted in a 2-for-3 performance from the line.
Mooody said he was ready to put the Missouri misses behind him, and Self still has faith in his senior forward. At his press conference last Thursday, Self said he would prefer to have Moody at the free throw line in a clutch situation than any other player on the team. Moody is ready to face the challenge again.
"I feel he has a lot of confidence in me." Moody said of Self. "He's really stressed that and emphasized that over the last few days and if I have the opportunity to be in that position again, I want to be there and have those shots to take again."

NHL
A heart-wrenching goodbye
BY ALAN ROBINSON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PITTSBURGH — Unlike many aging superstars, Mario Lemieux's problem wasn't that his heart was no longer in the game. Rather, his heart no longer allowed him play the game the way he had always played it.
The Lemieux way — with greatness and grace, with dominating skills but also with a quiet dignity — may prove very difficult for future generations of hockey players to rival.
Lemieux, his Hall of Fame talen eroded by an ongoing heart problem, retired from the Pittsburgh Penguins for the second time Tuesday in a long, productive yet star-crossed career, but this time was different.
This was the last retirement, and the tears in his eyes and the quiver in his voice said so. So did the proud but sad looks on the faces of wife Nathalie, their four children and the Penguins players who gathered to say goodbye, even though it visibly pained all to do so.
"This is it." Lemieux said, "and it hurts."
Lemieu, the NHL's seventh-leading career scorer with 1,723 points, practiced the last several weeks with the intent of playing again. But after several repeat
The 40-year-old Penguins owner-player learned in early December he has atrial fibrillation, an irregular heartbeat that can cause his pulse to flutter wildly and must be controlled by medication. He returned Dec. 16 against Buffalo, but the problem flared up again in the third period and he has not played since.
episodes of an irregular pulse, he decided his health should be his primary consideration, especially with a raft of new stars turning the NHL into a faster, younger man's game.
"If I could play this game at a decent level, I'd come back and play," Lemieux said. "This is really a new NHL and it's built on speed and young guys."
Lemieux is also experiencing side effects with his medication, and he may undergo surgery to correct the problem. He spoke Tuesday to Toronto coach Pat Quinn, who told Lemieux he had the same operation and has felt much better since he did.
M. B. E. M. C.
"I don't want to take pills the rest of my life," Lemieux said. "It's not something I want to go through."
Lemieux also was the first major pro sports star to buy the team for which he played, assembling a group that bought the team in federal bankruptcy court in 1999. He insisted the stress he is under as an owner — the franchise is for sale, and may relocate without a new arena — did not affect the decision to retire as a player.
"I don't feel great when I wake up. Even to this day I am not feeling 100 percent, and it's frustrating to me," he said.
Still, the 13-time All-Star returned so many times from injuries and operations, setbacks and layoffs, personal crises and even cancer, this decision came as a surprise. After all, this was a man who missed a month of the 1992-93 season with Hodgkin's disease, or cancer of the lymph nodes, yet easily won the scoring title.
The 6-foot-4, 230-pound Lemieux had seven goals and 15

Pittsburgh Penguins hockey great Mario Lemieux plays during an emotional moment at his news conference in Pittsburgh where he announced his retirement as a player on Tuesday. Lemieux finished his career with 690 goals and 1,033 assists for 1,723 points in 915 games over 17 seasons, all with the Penguins.
assists in 26 games this season, averaging more than a point a game until the heart problem worsened a few weeks into the season.
At least No. 66 has someone to pass the mantle to — 18-year-old Sidney Crosby, the Penguins'
rookie superstar in waiting who was briefly Lemieux's linemate and remains his housemate. The two were on the same line when Lemieux had three assists Nov. 3 against the Islanders, one of Lemieux's six multipoint games this season.

HOROSCOPES
ARES (March 21-April 19) ★★★★
Mumble to yourself rather than share.
Do independent research. You could get a surprising revelation. Intuitively, you know what works and what you need to do. Trust an associate who has a dynamic suggestion.
Sam Patrick/KANSAN
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ******You might be surprised by a meeting or a friend. You certainly have more to think about than you initially considered. Pick up the phone. Plans made for a mini-trip or get-together need attention.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) *****
Listen to someone who is in charge, or who thinks he is. You could be taken aback by this person once more. You might want to think about a partner or associate who always gives you good advice.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) ★★★★ Don't be too frightened to take a risk if a partner agrees and backs you up. You might want to think differently, no longer locking yourself into conventional thinking. Sign up for a workshop or a seminar.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★
Work with a partner, even though you could be joked by his or her attitude or ideas. By now, you should be used to his or her behavior. Be more nurturing with this person, especially if you would like to improve the quality of your home life.

Others help a stronger role than usual in determining your plans. You might be stunned by the direction you day takes.
Keep the lines of communication open, especially with a child or loved one.
Caring flows.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) *****
Adjust to new technology that makes your life easier. Extremes mark decisions and events. You are coming from a good spot. Check out a property investment carefully. You might want to spend more than you'd planned.
TUESDAY, JANUARY 31, 2006
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) *****
Your creativity peaks because of a dream or an incident in the morning.
You speak in a way that makes others want to be close to you. Your magnetism could overwhelm quite a few people. Share some of your wilder ideas.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ★★ ★
Stay calm, or at least act calm. You might feel as if you are sitting on top of Mount Vesuvius. Your efforts toward family or a property matter will pay off. Just stay cool. Your instincts will guide you even if your mind doesn't!
CAPIRCORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ******
Your smile saves the day for many. Work with, rather than challenge, inconsistency. If you want to try something totally different, do so, but also know that you could shake up a person or two.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★ You might very well cause a problem for yourself. Learn to let others know how you feel in a less expensive manner. Meet demands. You could be on the verge of a promotion or community acknowledgment.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ***** You could stun others once more, as you do a reversal. Realize that others' reactions are normal; your behavior might be slightly different from the norm! News opens doors. Sign up for a workshop or class.

BIG 12 BASKETBALL
Stand-out players get noticed in Big 12 conference play
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — At a time of year when the best players are beginning to separate themselves from the rest of the pack, some unfamiliar faces are making big noise in the Big 12.
Drawing rave notices at Colorado is sophomore Richard Roby. After averaging 16 points as a freshman, Roby has been the Buffaloes' leading scorer during a five-game winning streak, averaging almost 26 points in a span that has lifted Colorado to
Kansas State junior Cartier Martin is also drawing accolades. Martin had 24 points last week against Colorado, the fourth time in the last five games he has led the Wildcats in scoring.
within half a game of Texas in the conference race.
At Texas A&M, junior guard Acie Law has scored in double digits in all but one game this season. He has 127 points in his last six games.
Taking his game to an even higher level is Texas guard Daniel Gibson. Already a scorer and play-maker deluxe, Gibson has become one of the Big 12's top perimeter defenders.

Detroit renovates its look for Super Bowl XL
DETROIT — Before the Super Bowl kickoff this weekend, private planes will land here, limousines will clog the streets, and lavish parties will be thrown for those with famous names or lots of money.
Much of the rest of Detroit, though, is a landscape dotted with burned-out buildings, where liquor stores abound but supermarkets are hard to come by, and where drugs, violence and unemployment are everyday realities.
Officials in the nation's poorest big city see hosting the game as a huge boost. They say it will be a catalyst for further development and provide a chance to improve Detroit's gritty reputation. They hope visitors will take note of new restaurants, clubs and lofts downtown. To make sure the city makes a good impression, dilapidated buildings have been torn down, roads repaired and landmarks renovated.

Downs he goes: What happened?
Freshman Micah Downs is just another player in a long line of talent that transferred from Kansas since the Bill Self era began.
Downs said he left because he wanted be close to home while he sifted through "personal problems." His dad, Steve Downs, said his decision had nothing to do with basketball.

unhappy they were left out of the rotation and found different schools where talent wasn't as plentiful. The other two transfers, David Padgett and J.R. Giddens, were out of Self's hands. Giddens needed out of Lawrence, and Padgett was a constant target of the student body. None of these transfers should be equated to a problem with Self.

Self takes as many good players as he can. In his first two recruiting classes, he signed 10 players who were talented enough to play right away. Combining that talent with current players means not everyone can play. Lack of playing time was a concern at least three of the six players who left Kansas in Self's first three years.

BUNT 'EM OVER
Mediocrity: Not that bad for KU fans
BY MATT WILSON
mwilson@kansan.com
A loss to Texas A&M by Kansas tonight in College Station would undoubtedly cause Jayhawk Nation to lose its mind.
The Aggies, who have never finished in the top half of the Big 12 since their inception in 1996, would leapfrog the 'Hawks in the conference standings with a victory in Reed Arena tonight. They would be ecstatic.
The lajhawks have never lost three Big 12 games earlier than Feb. 7. That statistic would be out the window with a loss tonight.
I love it.
Not only is the prospect of a perennial power like Kansas losing to annual bottom- dweller like Texas A&M a great thing for lower tier teams, but it creates excitement for fans all across the league. That includes you, Jayhawk faithful.
The Big 12 has never been as fun to watch as it is this season, and it's because of the balance. If you chop Texas and Baylor from the equation, every team in the league standings is within one game of every other team. Three teams are tied for second place at 3-2, three teams are tied for fifth place at 2-2, and the four teams that round out that group are 2-3.
four teams that play.
I know it's early, but that coziness makes for exciting games with added importance. Last Saturday alone saw two road teams upset home favorites when Texas A&M upended Iowa State and Colorado won at Oklahoma State.
Put those games together with Kansas State's impressive work recently and you've got a tasty stew of parity. After K-State's stunning victory at Allen Fieldhouse, coach Jim Woolridge's squad blew Texas A&M out of the water and took Missouri behind the woodshed in subsequent games. The Wildcats, 3-2, are in the hunt for the first time since the last time they made the NCAA tournament in 1996.
Take a look at the top four teams in the conference standings. You have Texas, no surprise, at No.1. No one will threaten them for the league title this year, but the battle for second will be very interesting.
the Oakes Going into tonight's games, Colorado, Kansas State and Missouri are tied for second, and Kansas is in a fifth place tie. With games remaining against each of those teams, the Jayhawks will be playing face to face against the teams they look to displace.
KANSAS 2
NORWEGIA
10
A quick look down the ladder reveals Oklahoma and Texas Tech, two other traditionally solid teams which will make a push for the postseason and have aspirations of knocking off Kansas when they visit Lawrence in the next couple of weeks.
In the past, how often could you say you've been excited about the Big 12 conference tournament? You'll be able to say it this year. In all likelihood, the Jayhawks will need a victory or two in Dallas to have a shot at the Big Dance. In past seasons, Kansas has had its ticket punched, and occasionally even had its seed locked, heading into the often meaningless exercise that is the conference tournament.
Russell Robinson guards Nebraska's Jamel White during Saturday's game in Allen Fieldhouse. The Jayhawks rank in the top of the Big 12 Conference in steals and blocked shots.
Kansas fans should be excited. It is nice to be a lock for the NCAA tournament every year, but it's also incredibly boring. This season is a breath of fresh air, a chance to see life through the eyes of most other Division I programs.
If the tight standings live up to potential for chaos, the last six weeks of the season should be a lot of fun.
That's good sun, joyful day.
The situation makes every game important. For example, the jayhawks close the regular season in Manhattan. That game may very well decide the postseason fate of both Kansas and Kansas State, with potential for the winner to attend the NCAA Basketball Tournament and the loser slipping to the to the NIT. How often in the past 15 years could you say that about the Sunflower Showdown?

That's good stuff. Jayhawk fans.

'Hawks getting defensive
Self confident team will further improve numbers for blocks, steals
BY DANIEL BERK
dberk@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR SPORTWRIETER
Anthony Mattingly/KANSAN
The Kansas men's basketball team has had an up and down season this year, but one thing has remained consistent: a tough defense.
Kansas enters tonight's game against Texas A&M holding opponents to shooting just 35 percent from the field, leading the Big 12 Conference.
With young players playing the majority of the minutes this year, Kansas coach Bill Self has had to preach defense more than in years past. It has paid off. Self is optimistic about the Kansas defense.
"Down the road in the future, the rest of this season, this could be a team that creates a ton of havoc and gives people fits," Self said.
Much of the reason Kansas has been so successful on the defensive end has been because of stellar perimeter defense.
Self said he was pleased with the defense of the guards.
"Russell really has gotten to be a sound defender in the half court and Mario is getting there," Self said. "They both have active hands and could create some havoc."
Robinson and Chalmers are both in the top ten in the conference in steals. Chalmers is second in the conference averaging 2.47 steals per game and Robinson ranks eighth in the conference averaging 1.94 steals per game.
Robinson said the coaches had been stressing defense a lot in practice and that the work in practice was translating into the games.
"The goal is to get teams out of their comfort zone," Robinson said. "We want to make them do things they are not comfortable doing and hopefully force some turnovers. Our first shot defense has been pretty good this season and we will continue to get better
at it."
One area Self said he would like to see improvement was defensive rebounding. This season Self has rotated five players at the power forward and center positions.
Sophomores CJ Giles and Sasha Kaun saw the majority of the minutes at the beginning of the season, but because of their lack of rebounding, both have seen less time recently.
In the team's first four conference games, the two have combined for just more than six rebounds per game. Self has turned to sophomore Darnell Jackson and freshman Julian Wright lately to provide more of a presence
rebounding the ball.
rebounding. Self said he was disappointed with the rebounding and said there should have been more production from the bigger guys like Giles, Kaun and Jackson.
"There is no excuse collectively not to get at least 15 rebounds a game from those three," Self said. "If they combine for 45 minutes those guys should get 15 rebounds and that just hasn't been happening lately. We just haven’t been as aggressive in those three spots as far as going after the ball."
Self said the team would continue to play half-court defense rather than pressing the opponent and playing
full-court pressure. He said that was just the type of team they were, and they would continue to play to their strengths.
Another area of defense where Kansas has excelled this season has been blocked shots. Kansas is second in the conference with 102 blocked shots on the season, led by Giles' 29 blocks and Kaun's 16 blocks.
Self said the blocks had been a big part of the defense because pressure from Robinson and Chalmers had forced opponents to make bad decisions and take poor shots.

Free throw woes troubling
BY CJ MOORE
cjmoore@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
The two free throws that Christian Moody missed last Monday against Missouri were supposed to be routine shots.
It's 15 feet away from the basket. No defenders. Ten seconds to shoot.
In the Jayhawks' six losses this season, they have shot 59.1 percent from the free throw line, while their opponents in those games have combined to shoot 71.6 percent.
Moody had the outcome of the game on his shoulders. The misses were costly, but Kansas' struggles at the line in losses is nothing new.
Well, it's not that easy.
Free throws could have swung the outcome in the Jayhawks favor in five of their six losses.
In those games, Kansas has lost by a combined 13 points.
If the team makes all of its free throws in the six defeats, Kansas only loses to Arizona.
That might be a little unrealistic. However, if they make half of the misses in those games, Kansas wins outright against Arkansas, St. Joseph's and Missouri. The Nevada game would go to overtime, but Kansas would still lose to Kansas State.
The Jayhawks' record would be 15-2,assuring they pulled it out in overtine against Nevada, and there would be no worries of the possibility of having their bubble burst in March and ending the streak of 16 straight NCAA appearances.
Now, back to reality. The Jayhawks are 11-6 (2-2 in the Big 12 Conference) and continue to have problems at the charity stripe.
So from where does the problem stem?
First, Kansas' big men have had troubles at the line. It's not only Moody, who is shooting 48 percent, but also sophomore centers Sasha Kaun (54 percent) and CJ Giles (42 percent), and freshman forward Julian Wright (52 percent).
Kansas coach Bill Self had a theory on the poor foul shooting.
"I think one thing that all shooters have struggles with is when they don't shoot very many of them. You can simulate in practice," Self said. "But when you're only shooting two per game or one here and one there. It's little bit different because you really don't get a chance to get a rhythm."
Self pointed to last year's team, who shot 69.5 percent at

Brandon Rush got loose in the open court during the second half and went up to throw down a reverse dunk.
Besides thinking about making the dunk, the freshman guard said he was thinking about
another accomplishment — getting the acrobatic highlight on ESPN SportsCenter's Top 10
With two SportsCenter an chors in attendance last night, there was a good chance that Rush saw himself various times on television after Kansas' 86-52 victory against Texas Tech.
"He's pretty quick-witted. He's got a lot of one-liners after a game," Kansas coach Bill Self said about Rush wanting to make SportsCenter.
"It was real fun just to go down and make an easy basket." Rush said.
The Jayhawks played their third game in six days, but saved the best showing for last. Kansas created 12 turnovers and ran well in transition to produce points.
Nearly nothing went wrong for Kansas last night. Whether it was a Julian Wright shot, which hit sharply off the rim, straight into the air and back down through the basket, or a Darnell Jackson dunk off a missed offensive shot, the Jayhawks dominated the game from start to finish.

Early exits won't draw sanctions

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Micah Downs became the sixth Kansas men's basketball player in the past three years to leave the University when he quit the team last week.
The departures will not hurt the team's academic success rate, said Associate Athletics Director Paul Buskirk. A low academic success rate can bring sanctions from the NCAA.
When transferring players are academically eligible to play, their exits do not affect the team's academic success rate, Buskirk said.
SIX MEN GONE IN THREE YEARS
The academic success rate is measured in two ways:
The first is the Academic Progress Rate, which measures player retention and academic eligibility. This is used as a short-term method of measuring student athletes' academic success.
The second is the Graduation Success Rate, which measures the long-term success of a program.

KANSAH STAFF WRITE
With only nine games remaining for the women's basketball team, time is running out to earn a spot in postseason play.
Last year, the NCAA invited six teams from the Big 12 Conference to the NCAA tournament. The Jayhawks are currently sixth in the conference with a 13-5 record, but are only 2-5 against Big 12 competition
They have an opportunity to improve that record at the Wednesday night game against Colorado and a Saturday afternoon game against Iowa State. Both games will be at Allen Fieldhouse.
"We really don't have a lot of wiggle room," she said. "If you're going to get in the game, you've got to give us something."
Senior forward Crystal Kemp was on the floor only 23 minutes on Saturday. She usually plays close to the entire 40 minutes of the game. Senior guards Kaylee Brown and Erica Hallman scored a combined 11 points. The duo is
It was an especially rough game for the three seniors, who have been counted on to carry the team for most of the season.
Kansas coach Bonnie Hendrickson said that all five players she had on the court had to produce for Kansas to succeed and earn a postseason berth.
It will also be an opportunity to rebound after a 90-40 loss to Baylor on Saturday afternoon, the worst loss in Kansas women's basketball history.
BALL STANDINGS
Kansas will likely have to win six more conference games to make the NCAA tournament this season.

Oklahoma 7-0 17-4
Missouri 5-2 15-4

recent history suggests Kansas will have to go 8-8 in its conference schedule to make the NCAA tournament. This means the team will need to win all of its home games in addition to one victory outside of Allen Fieldhouse.
It's very possible that the Jayhawks get to play in March this year, but the clock is ticking.
The other four games will take place on the road, where the Jayhawks have yet to win a game this season. They will not have an easy time the rest of the way, visiting South teams such as Texas Tech and Oklahoma in addition to Missouri and Iowa State.
Of the final nine games, Kansas plays five at home against the five other Big 12 North teams. As is usually the case, the South conference is stronger than the North, with five of the top seven teams coming from that division

Remember when KU fans were worried, some even doubtful, about whether this young Kansas basketball team would make the NCAA Basketball Tournament following two straight losses to Kansas State and Missouri? It shouldn't be hard, because it was only two weeks ago.
Now, after four straight victories, Kansas has quietly played its way off the bubble. These improved Jayhawks are

Javhawks can make the end if they continue playing strong
Ten conference victories will be the magic number for the Jayhawks, meaning that they
need five more victories. Since the inception of the Big 12 Conference 10 years ago, only two postseason-eligible teams with double-digit conference victories have been left out of the NCAA tournament: Colorado in 2004 and Nebraska in 1999. But Colorado and Nebraska don't have Kansas' name recognition.
Why stop at 10 conference victories? The way the team is playing, it's possible Kansas could win and finish the
year with a 14-2 conference record. That and a Big 12 tournament championship could put Kansas as high as a No. 2 seed.
Take a look at Kansas' upcoming schedule. The Jayhawks still have an opportunity to win their sixth Big 12 title. They are second in the Big 12 standings at 5-2, only one game behind Texas. From here on out, Kansas plays Oklahoma, Missouri, Iowa State, Baylor and Colorado at home, and Nebraska,
Out of those teams, which ones are really threats to knock Kansas off? Baylor?
No way. The Bears are winless in conference play. Colorado and Iowa State? Not in Allen Fieldhouse, after Kansas already knocked both off on their home courts.

defeated Texas in Norman, but the game is in Lawrence. Oklahoma has already struggled on the road with the likes of Nebraska and Texas A&M.

LAST TIME OUT
The Jayhawks shot 72 percent from the field in the first half to put the Cornhuskers away early. But they continued to play hard in the second half, cruising to a 42-point victory.The victory snapped a two-game losing streak for Kansas and displayed the performance that Kansas coach Bill Self had been looking for.Kansas will look to build on the big victory on the road and gain momentum going into the heart of Big 12 Conference play.
14. 5 — Points per game in Big 12 Conference play by freshman guard Mario Chalmers.
35. 5 — Field goal percentage allowed by the Kansas defense this season, ranking first in the nation in field goal defense.
KEY TO VICTORY

PLAYER TO WATCH
Julian Wright. The freshman forward was able to get his offensive game going against Nebraska and provided some crucial assists in the passing game as well. Wright needs to step up in a big way if the other Kansas post men continue their recent struggles.
18. 41 - Average number of assists for Kansas as a team this season, which tops the conference.
Get post production. Kansas got just 6 points from its starting post players against Nebraska, but was still able to notch a victory. This won't be acceptable tonight because Texas A&M brings a strong post presence in sophomore forward Joseph Jones. Wright and sophomore forward Darnell Jackson were impressive in the Jayhawks' last outing and could provide the necessary post production.

The Kansas offense exploded against Nebraska on Saturday, scoring 96 points and winning by 42. It was the largest margin of victory in Big 12 Conference play since 1998. The offense capitalized on 11 three-pointers and a balanced scoring effort with five players scoring in double figures. This gave the Jayhawks one of their most complete victories of the year.

Texas A&M enters tonight's game against Kansas after a strong offensive performance in which it scored 86 points in an overtime victory against Iowa State. Junior guard Acie Law has started all 15 games he has played this season and shoots more than 50 percent from the field. Kansas coach Bill Self said Law was one of the premier players in the Big 12 Conference. The other main catalyst on offense is sophomore forward Joseph Jones. Jones gives the team a presence down low and also shoots more than 50 percent from the field.
DEFENSE
As a team, the Aggies are third in the Big 12 Conference allowing only 59.3 points per game. Jones is the team's best rebounder averaging 7.1 rebounds per game. The Aggies don't have a second player that averages more than four rebounds per game. While Jones is a strong rebounder, he only has six blocks in 15 games. The Aggies lack a blocking presence down low. Junior Marlon Pompey leads the team with just 18 blocks. Law is the team's best perimeter defender and leads the team in steals with 28.

COACHES
In just his fourth season as a head coach, Texas A&M coach Billy Gillespie already has led two impressive turnarounds. In his first season at the University ofTexas-EI Paso, he went 6-24. One season later, UTEP had a record of 24-8 and qualified for the NCAA tournament. When he arrived atTexas A&M, he took over a team that went 7-21 the season before he arrived and 0-16 in Big 12 Conference play. Last year, in Gillespie's first season as coach, the Aggies enjoyed a 21-10 season and a berth in the NIT, which was the school's first postseason appearance in 11 seasons.

KEY TO VICTORY
Get Law involved. Law has the ability to score 40 points and single-handedly beat Kansas like Missouri's Thomas Gardner did last week. Kansas sophomore guard Russell Robinson, freshman guard Mario Chalmers and senior guard Jeff Hawkins will have to play solid perimeter defense to force Law into making bad decisions and passing more than he shoots.
Outside shooting crucial for KU to win

LAST TIME OUT
KEY TO VICTORY
Three-point shooting is a discipline with a distinct home crowd advantage. The Jayhawk guards will have to tune out the Wildcat faithful and make some shots to take the pressure off Kemp inside. If Kansas can hit shots from outside, Kansas State will have to take its attention away from Kemp to guard the proimeter players.
Kansas stopped a threegame skid by beating up the Oklahoma State Cowgirls 66-46. The defense was stingy and the game was put away with a 36-7 run. Forty-six points were the fewest allowed by the Kansas defense all season.

DEFENSE
As Crystal Kemp goes, so do the Jayhawks. The senior forward leads the team in scoring and her teammates look for her every trip downcourt despite the doubleteam attention she consistently draws. The offense also threatens opponents from behind the arc, where senior guards Erica Hallman and Kaylee Brown have been the reason Kansas leads the Big 12 in three-point shooting.
KU KU KU
Defense has not been the Jayhawks' strength this season, and the result has been a lack of fast-break opportunities for an otherwise productive offensive team. The huge performance against Oklahoma State looked good, but it will take a similar performance against a conference contender like Kansas State before Kansas can move forward.
KU
COACHES
Coaches are like officials; they go completely unnoticed until they mess something up, and Bonnie Henrickson hasn't. When the team started struggling against the zone against the Cowgirls, Henrickson devoted an entire week of practice to beating the zone. Even with a two-day turnaround, the Jayhawks will be ready to play.

The Wildcats offense, like the Jayhawks, centers on strong post play. Junior forward Clair Coggins leads the Wildcats with 13.1 points per game. Coggins scored a career-high 26 points, including six three-pointers in the Wildcats one-point overtime loss on Sunday at Texas. Kansas State starts two freshmen, Marlies Gipson and JoAnn Hamlin, in the post alongside Coggins. As a team, Kansas State ranks 10th in the Big 12 Conference in scoring offense, averaging 59.3 points per game.
---
Defensive pressure in the post is the key to stopping Kansas senior forward Crystal Kemp. Expect the Wildcats to play zone defense, which has given the Jayhawks trouble at times this season. Kansas State is holding its opponents to 38 percent shooting from the field, good for sixth in the conference. The Wildcats also block nearly six shots per game.
COACHES
During the past four season, Deb Patterson has quietly become one of nation's best coaches. Since the 2002 season, Kansas State is 104-27, including four straight trips to the NCAA tournament. The Wildcats are on track for their fifth consecutive season of at least 20 victories and a postseason bid.

KSU Tip-off
3 QUICK FACTS
Junior forward Claire Coggins is one of the best players Kansas has seen all season. At 5-foot-11, Coggins can score in the paint and beyond the arc. Look for Coggins to see open looks all night long, against a Kansas defense that has struggled in conference play.
Kansas State fell by one in overtime at Texas. The Wildcats had a chance to end the game in regulation, but freshman Shalee Lehning missed two free-throws with 75 seconds left with the game tied.
25. 5 - The Wildcat's average margin of victory in their eight straight victories against the Jayhawks.
PLAYER TO WATCH
71. 2 — Kansas State's team free throw percentage, third-best in the conference.
5,328 - Average attendance at Bramlage Coliseum this season.
KEY TO VICTORY
Kansas State has dominated the series since 2002, especially at home at Bramlage Coliseum. If Kansas State can rattle freshman point guard Ivana Catic early and get the crowd involved, look for another purple pounding. Look for the Wildcats to play zone and force the Jayhawks' streaky shooting guards to beat them with jump shots.

The Replay Lounge has decided to revamp its patio, mainly due to the smoking ordinance banning smoking in Lawrence businesses.
The nightclub, 946 Massachusetts St., is adding a 20-foot addition to its patio, which will have an awning that covers
boots outside. The completion date is set for St. Patrick's Day.
It is also adding new picnic tables and booths inside. Nick Carroll, owner, estimated that the renovations would cost 20 percent of the Lounge's value.
Carroll said that although the inside renovations were something the Lounge has wanted to do for a few years, much of
the work was prompted by the smoking ban.
"Patios are really important to businesses now," Carroll said. "Surrounding areas, like Kansas City, are not on the same playing field anymore.
We [Lawrence] have something they don't have, and they're not coming here anymore."

Attention from e-mail doesn't hinder group

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The Society of Open-Minded Atheists and Agnostics has come out of the dispute involving an intelligent design class with high hopes for the spring semester.
The group was caught in the middle of a controversy late last semester when its adviser, Paul Mirecki, professor of religious studies, said in e-mails to the SOMA list server that his proposed class would serve as a "nice slap" in the "big fat face" of religious fundamentalists.
After being criticized by University of Kansas officials and state legislators, Mirecki withdrew the class and resigned as chairman of the department of religious studies.
During the ordeal, Andrew Stangl, SOMA president for two years and Wichita junior, became a regular source for news stories.
"All eyes were on us," he said.
Though dealing with the media was a tax on his own time and resources, he said the group gained from the attention.
SOMA was unified in support of Mirecki, and the group grew in size because the coverage raised awareness and many new people joined its e-mail list server.
Stangl said SOMA was just as diverse as any other secular organization and he didn't want it to be known as a group "opposite of believers," but rather an open-minded group of people who don't necessarily believe in a higher being.
"The KU students of SOMA are a great bunch of students," Mirecki said. "They're all mom and apple pie."

In response to whether he was planning to sue the University or the Douglas County Sheriff's Department, he said only, "My lawyer is looking into the situation."

Walking through the dimly lit room on Malott's sixth floor, he passed a tiny chalkboard to his left and a plaid couch on his right. His path led the way to his office, and it became clear that this setting was exactly what you would imagine a physicist's lair to look like.
A brief handshake and a genuine smile later, Danny Marafatia, assistant professor of physics, settled into his desk chair ready to discuss the prestigious Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) award to which he had just been named. The bare white walls and bright lights of his office contrasted the first room greatly.
He pointed to a calendar, the only artwork on any of the four walls.
"Do you put a lot of posters up?"
The quiet, reserved physicist image quickly melted away, and
On November 23 of last year, Marfatia and his colleagues in the department of physics and astronomy learned of his winning the CAREER award from the National Science Foundation. According to Marfatia, every willing, non-tenured assistant professor at four-year research universities in the United States submits proposals to compete for this award.
Marfatia was more than happy to explain the nature of his complicated work. While he spoke, the assistant professor of physics and astronomy never once acted insulted at the fact that his craft is overlooked by most and under-appreciated by just as many.
Maratia works for Mariana.
"I don't really care," he said of the quietness of his success.
"I'm happy that I found it, and that's all that matters. I do it for me. If it benefits the world, that's fine."
On January 13, the University of Kansas released that information to everyone else.
Marfatia works for Marfatia.
"There was so much preamble that it wasn't a surprise." Marfatia said of his anti-climatic reaction after receiving the official word on the award. "They were sending me e-mails asking me about funding. I was expecting it by the time it actually came."
Although there is no lavish banquet or gigantic plaque to show for his effort, Marfatia will cash in on a five-year, $400,000 grant. The money from the CAREER award will be dispersed in chunks of $80,000 per-year over the next five years.
"Summer salary," he laughed.
"I'm being facetious, I mean it's true, but hiring a post-doctorate researcher to work with me is important."
He is dedicated to his study of neutrinos, a little known fundamental particle, but already has plans for the first part of his grant.
Probably because conducting post-doctorate research at Boston University was Marfatia's previous stop before being hired
at the University just four semesters ago.
"We had more than 50 candidates for the position. We picked Danny because he was the best theorist with the best fit," said John Ralston, professor of physics and colleague of Marfatia
If questioned, many would reply that it is his uncanny understanding of physics and neutrino particles that Marfatia has and others lack. However, a closer look reveals that it's not his prestigious work that sets him apart, but rather the extent to which he loves his job.
"We're all quite busy and tend to work too much. We all enjoy every part of our jobs. Teaching is great because in teaching all the equations really work out. I tell people I'm a physic-holic." Ralston said.
Without ever obtaining a bachelor's degree, Marfatia obtained his master's degree of mathematics in India and went

"I do. I understand the way some people are trying to justify it, that he was trying to identify potential terrorists. If it were just that, it would be fine. There is a lot of concern that he might actually be using it to listen to dissenters from left-wing groups because they disagree with provisions of the Patriot Act. If he did abuse his power, I don't know if I would go as far as impeachment. As for the people who are responsible for the wire tapping, they ought to get into quite a lot of trouble for it because it is a pretty serious offense."
+ Ben Cohen, Topeka freshman
"Yes, definitely. The current law, as I understand it, the FISA (Federal Intelligence Security Act), did allow them to go in front of a special secure court and get a warrant and in time sensitive measures tap the wire; and any lives they may have saved with the information would have achieved their purpose. They could have done it legally. I'm not really sure what the administration was trying to do by ignoring this law."
+ Sara Shannon, Ottawa freshman
"I don't feel like all of this can be directly blamed on George Bush. I'm sure he took a part in it, but it isn't entirely his doing. I believe it was a little inappropriate; but even though civil liberties are important the threats to our country need to be avoided."
- Courtney Brax, Hutchinson freshman
PETER C. MAYE
"I think it was more invasive than it was protective. It crossed a lot of boundaries, and I just don't think it was relevant. Considering he didn't have adequate proof and it wasn't approved, I think he stepped over the line. I think they should investigate a little more because this seems totally unjust to me."

Student Senate covers fees
BY NICOLA KELLEY
nkelley@kansan.com
KANSAN ST. WRITER
Student Senate has agreed to cover registration fees for the annual Big 12 Black Student Government Conference so students of the Black Student Union can attend. Senate has covered the fees only three times in the last 29 years.
Senate gave the group $5,440 to cover the registration fees of the 50 students who will be attending the conference, which will be held Feb. 23 to Feb. 25 at Iowa State University.
were eligible for help.
In the past, Senate had a rule that did not allow it to fund conference trips for most student organizations. Two years ago a group of senators wrote a bill to change this rule so more groups
Delia Kimbrel, vice chairwoman of multicultural affairs, said the group of senators she worked with to get the rule changed wanted groups to be allowed the same funding because they also benefit from the conferences they attend.
The Wichita senior said the Big 12 Conference was important for these groups because it would give them an opportunity to meet students like themselves that are dealing with similar issues. She said these issues included being a mostly black group on a mostly white campus.
Yana Delkah, Black Student Union treasurer, said it was nice to get the registration funded by Senate. However, the Lawrence senior also said that it seemed
like the other schools at the conference got more help and were able to bring more students because of it. She said they had to limit the amount of fundraising money they used for the conference so they were still able to fund the other activities they hosted throughout the year.
"There are a lot of things they teach at these workshops that give you the strength and makes you want to work harder when you get back to the school," Delkhah said. "By having students go to these conferences and come back and take on leadership roles it brings in diversity and unites the university."
Pamela Scott, associate director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs, said in addition to the workshops, the participants would have a chance to make
strong connections with students from other schools while participating in activities such choir and talent shows put on by conference participants,
"This conference, I really believe in it so much, and I always felt like I got so much more information on how to be all you can be in anything you do," Scott said.
Along with the amount the group received from Senate, the Black Student Union also did fundraising to cover all the other expenses of the trip. Members of the group sold magazines and worked with a credit card company to collect applications from students. Last semester they operated a concession stand at all home football games.

Despite protest, the Colonel stays
FRANKFORT, Ky. — With a bust in the balance, Kentucky's governor is siding with Colonel Sanders over Pamela Anderson.
Gov. Ernie Fletcher wrote the actress to say a bust of the KFC founder will stay in the Kentucky Capitol, despite Anderson's claim that Sanders is a symbol of cruelty to chickens.
She responded to the governor's decision by letter Tuesday, saying Sanders' chief legacy is a company "that mutilates God's creatures."
In her letters to Fletcher, the actress detailed alleged abuses of chickens by KFC suppliers. She said workers in a slaughterhouse in West Virginia have been filmed tearing the heads off live birds and boiling the chickens alive.
KFC has called Anderson's attack on Sanders a misguided publicity stunt.

KU creates more options for nurses
BY FRED A DAVIE III
fdavis@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Jillian Bauhs likes the idea of being a part of something cutting-edge. The Clinical Nurse Leader program, or CNL, a pilot program at the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan., provides her that opportunity.
The CNL program is a "New Nurse" model created by the American Association of Colleges of Nurses. Because of the dire need of nurses in a rapidly growing health care industry, the AACN in 1999 that a new approach
was needed to recruit more nurses. Thus, the CNL program was devised.
Aimed at non-traditional students, the CNL is a generic, entry-level masters program intended for those who have completed a degree — which does not necessarily require a medical background — and want to become a nurse. The CNL program pays special attention to bedside care.
"This is an innovative program," said Karen Miller, dean of the school of nursing. Aside from the Med Center, there are 90 CNL programs underway in 35 states and Puerto Rico, according to the

AACN's Web site.
Different from a standard nursing degree, which requires four-and-a-half years, the CNL is a three-year commitment that consists of two years of school and the final year spent working at a hospital. For those participating in the Med Center's CNL program, the year will be spent at the KU Med Center Hospital or Children's Mercy Hospital, Miller said.
"To get done with school and have a masters degree after completing the program seemed like a pretty palatable idea," she said.
Bauhs, who graduated in May with a degree in Spanish, came to the University with the hopes of graduating in four years with degrees in both nursing and Spanish. She soon realized if she wanted to travel abroad and learn Spanish, the nursing degree and

the drive to the Med Center campus in Kansas City, Kan., would have to wait.
"This job has never been done before, so convincing others of the importance of continuity of care will be important," she said.

A group of students participated in Taglit-birthright Israel over winter break. The trip was fully funded by anonymous donors. The program has sent a total of 20,000 KU students over the course of its existence. The national Taglit-birthright program has sent a total of 100,000 students.
"I always viewed camels as being intimidating because they have the capability of spitting, but once I was on it I had no worries, and all I could think about was 'wow, how often do I get to ride a camel?'" she said.
Students take trip to Israel over break
KU Hillel Director Jay Lewis said the KU group traveled with students from Kent State University and eight soldiers the students' ages or just a bit older from the Israeli military.
Hermanson also enjoyed some of her less spiritual experiences, like riding a camel.
Hermanson said the soldiers seemed so much older and "more aware of the outside world." She said seeing the soldiers was interesting because Israeli youth must join the army right out of high school. A man has to join for three years and a woman for two. Unlike Taglit-birthright, the soldiers don't view touring Israel as a trip that everyone has a right to take. They believe they deserve to tour the country because they've been successful in the military.

"Words cannot describe Masada. We were forced to get out of bed before the sun rose. At first I was not looking forward to it, but once I made it and saw the sun rise it was by far the most beautiful thing ever.
Standing among the noisy crowds in front of the famously indestructible Kotel, or Western Wall, Elena Hermanson said she felt like it was silent. The Overland Park freshman was able to "have her moment" as she stood in front of the only wall that remained standing when Jerusalem was destroyed years ago.
"I just stood there in awe watching,' she said. "I felt closer to myself."
Hermanson also had a memorable experience on top of Mount Masada.
Hermanson took part in Taglit-birthright Israel, which sends Jewish students to Israel. From Jan. 7 to 18, 19 Jewish students from the University of Kansas and a Hillel staff member, Farrah Green, went to Israel. Any Jewish youth age 18 to 26 who has not been on a peer trip to Israel is eligible to receive the trip. The trip includes airfare, transportation, lodging and two meals a day. The program is funded totally by anonymous donors, Green said.
"We were forced to get out of bed before the sun rose. At first I was not looking forward to it, but once I made it and saw the sun rise it was by far the most beautiful thing ever."

"It it was really special to have it in Jerusalem in the Holy Land." Hallman said.
Hallman also enjoyed the non-religious aspects of the trip, like swimming in the Dead Sea. She said it wasn't really like swimming at all.
For Alexis Hallman, Olathe senior, her visit to Israel was a coming of age. Most Jews have their bar mitzvah or bat mitzvah when they turn 13. This is a celebration where each young adult formally commits to Judaism and its commandments and only occurs after studying the Torah and memorizing special prayers. Though Hallman had her bat mitzvah at 22, she was amongst friends in Jerusalem.
Elena Hermanson Overland Park freshman
"It was more like trying really hard to get your legs underneath you, getting tired, and ending up just floating around on your back,"
It was Green's fourth trip to Israel, and rather than having the first-time-in-Israel excitement herself, she was most excited to see it in the students that she took.
Her favorite part of the trip was hearing the Muslim cult prayers in the mosques right next to Jewish temples.
She said it was nice to see two of the major religions of the world practicing their religions in the same vicinity peacefully despite all of the conflict around the world.
Hermanson also did not feel threatened by the conflict around her. She said she "felt completely safe. There were soldiers everywhere."
"It was weird to see it all together," she said. "I think it's a beautiful thing."
"It felt completely normal to me. I felt safe walking anywhere because there were lots of people out doing the same thing I was," she said. "The guards that traveled with us did not add tension, so I didn't really think about the conflicts that are taking place. I just viewed them as normal people that carried guns."
In total, Hillel has sent a total of 20,000 KU students to Israel through Taglit-birthright. The national program has sent 100,000 students total.
For some Jewish students, traveling to Israel is an investigation into the rich history of the Jewish people. For others, it's a deeply spiritual experience.

Carroll said places like the Cadillac Ranch and the Hawk were able to adjust to the ban with
their patio space. But a nightclub like Last Call, was not.
"Businesses get the best sales when they have patios," Carroll said. "The patio becomes a big concern to patrons."
While the inside of the Lounge gets its renovations, the outside work, prompted by the smoking bar, will benefit patrons as well.
Last Call and Coyote's owner Dennis Steffes said he noticed a drastic drop in business at Last Call when the ordinance went into effect. Coyote's has a patio, but he said business had gone down there as well.
"It will be a nicer environment now," Carroll said. "People who want to sit outside won't have to worry about the sun or rain bother them."

on to earn his doctorate in physics from the University of Wisconsin in 2001.
From there, the assistant professor did three years of postdoctorate research in Boston. During that time, Marfatia said the "neutrino revolution" occurred.
"The experiments are very difficult to carry out, and for the last 30 years we've been confused," Marfatia said. "Now we understand them much better than we did earlier but not nearly enough."
A major requirement of CAREER award winners is that they are untenured teachers conducting experiments while continuing to instruct classes. This spring will mark Marfatia's third semester of teaching.
"People often think phys-ics is hard. It's not — it's easy."
Ralston said. "Physics is fun. People might find physics hard when they learn the wrong things in the wrong way and can't unlearn them. Still we push the edges of physics, where it is not so hard as mysterious. As someone recently said, it's a strange, strange, strange, strange universe."
On a perfect day, Marfatia said he would spend less time teaching and running in and out of meetings and more time on his work, but he is accepting and excited about the students taking his only class of the semester, "Modern Physics."
"Even though it's at a very junior level, I'm going to enjoy it totally," Marfatia said of the class. "They're going to be exposed to relativity and quantum mechanics for the first time in their lives. It's my chance to tell them about some of the most beautiful theories mankind ever created."
Talking to the Bombay native, it is clear that his priority lies with his research, but Marfatia has the goal of becoming a full professor penciled into his future. He does not plan on that taking the typical six years to associate professor followed by six years to full professor.
"I don't want to spend 12 years, and I hope it's not that far away, but that's not unreasonable," Marfatia said.
According to him, this is his dream job, but the award-winning teacher refuses to believe this has been his lifelong ambition.
"I think some physicists like to say, 'yeah I've wanted to be a physicist since I was six.' Not me," he said.

Senate stance takes publishers to task
Student checkbooks are already taxed heavily by increasing tuition and energy costs, not to mention the need to pay rent and grocery bills. Rising textbook prices are the last thing KU students need, and Student Senate is going in the right direction by joining a national movement that is talking to publishers and other groups to keep those prices in check.
Textbook prices have increased at twice the rate of inflation for the past two decades and now account for more than a quarter of the total cost of tuition at public, four-year universities. Those costs are tied to several factors, including the bundling of other materials with textbooks and the frequent issuing of new editions, student senator Hannah Love said.
In a letter to the American Association of Publishers, Love cited a survey conducted by Student Public Interest Research Groups of professors at 12 universities in California and Oregon. Seventy-two percent of professors polled said that new editions of the five most commonly used textbooks were necessary half the time, if not less. Sixty-five percent of the faculty said they rarely or never used bundled materials.
To join with SPIRG's activities, Senate drafted a resolution to encourage professors to give preference to publishers that do not require bundling or frequent new editions. The bill also encourages
professors to submit book lists earlier so more used books can be found and it encourages the University to create more forums for students to find used textbooks.
The Senate's efforts to work with national advocacy groups in this matter are encouraging. Keeping the cost of education down for students is a priority and worthy of the Senate's attention.
Publishers have complained that the movement is too broad. In the Lawrence Journal-World, Bruce Hildebrand, a director with the American Association of Publishers, said bundling fills the role once held by universities when providing additional resources. He also asserted that a report from the Government Accountability Office on rising textbook costs was flawed and inaccurate.
Hildebrand's criticism is hollow, though. If schools require additional materials, publishers could always offer them as options with additional costs. Frequent reeditions are not only expensive but wasteful, preventing students from selling their textbooks back at the end of the semester.
While Senate cannot force change, its actions are definitely in the interest of students.

COMMENTARY
Preserve Lawrence's identity: shop local
Picture this: it's a chilly winter evening, and you're about to get very familiar with that intimidating anthropology textbook. In preparation for this endeavor, you decide you need a warm, caffeinated beverage to get you through the next couple of hours. You come to the corner of 7th and Massachusetts streets and make the crucial decision Starbucks or La Prima Tazza? You could pick the expensive coffee, stale atmosphere and uniformed employees at Starbucks, or you could choose the original, inexpensive, friendly barista with local art and funky music at La Prima Tazza. If you chose LPT, you've made the right choice: to go local.
Local businesses not only bring character to a town and help define it; they also provide jobs and support for the community. One of the definitive qualities of Lawrence
— and specifically downtown — is the abundance of unique, locally owned businesses operated by people just like you and me. Imagine Mass. Street without places like Henry's, Milton's, The Jazzhaus or La Parrilla. The flavor of the aforementioned businesses gives Lawrence a contagious excitement.
businesses provide 45 percent of the U.S. private payroll.Additionally,60 to 80 percent of new jobs in the last decade were provided by small businesses, according to the 2005 U.S. Bureau of Census.
According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, a small business is defined as an independent business with fewer than 500 employees. This same source states that there are an estimated 24.7 million local businesses in the United States, creating employment for roughly 47.7 million Americans. Small
Employees are also generally treated better. The U.S. Information Bureau's report states that most local businesses are owned by local proprietors, which allows for flexibility in both scheduling and pay.
Aside from providing jobs, local businesses are more apt to support their communities because they have a genuine interest in their well-being. According to the U.S. Information Bureau on Small Business and the Corporation's 2005 report, small businesses are successful because their owners know their customers personally. This not only allows for a more pleasant atmosphere, but also for better adaptation to changing economic conditions. If owners actually live among their customers, they can understand their demographics better.
It is clear that there are just as many economic reasons to support the 'little guy' as there are romantic. By choosing Yello Sub over subway, La Prima Tazza over Starbucks, Sylas and Maddy's over Coldstone, or Wheat State Pizza over Domino's, jobs are preserved and Lawrence remains the oasis that it is.

Heather Leger, Derby senior and cochairwoman of KU Students for Life, said we needed to emphasize the worth of the woman's life, and that abortion does nothing to further that end.
The march is a predominantly political affair (hence being held in the capital), and its intended audience is the politicians and court justices
"This march affirms to women that their lives, from conception, have a measurable worth and dignity that cannot
be denied by anyone," she said.
Abortion will never end, regardless of its legality, until those facing that decision know that there are people who care about and love them. If they do not find the compassion they need to face their struggles, we have effectively sentenced a child to death through our negligence.
Hopefully, the march will do more than change the hearts of politicians. It is my hope and the hope of all 300-some-thousand at the march that it will work to change the hearts of mothers and fathers of unborn children.

COMMENTARY
Stem cell research has been a widely debated issue during the last few years. According to sciencecoalition.org a stem cell is "a 'generic' cell that can make exact copies of itself indefinitely. It is a precursor cell that has the ability to make specialized cells for various tissues in the body (such as heart muscle, brain tissue and liver tissue)." These cells can be used to replace others that are not functioning properly, curing or reducing the effects of ailments such as diabetes, Alzheimer's, heart disease, cancer and many others. Stem cells come from many different places such as embryos, umbilical cords and the placenta.
As a Type I diabetic, I have a different perspective than most on stem cell research. What may seem like a distant problem to be solved by politicians in Washington is an urgent, daily battle for those of us living with diseases that could be cured

by stem cell research. People approve or disapprove of the practice based on personal beliefs, and any time a debate centers on ethics and religion, arguments become contentious.
We may never agree on this or any other issue. The goal here is to find a balance, a compromise that is in the best interest of the citizens of this country. Because of its influence and financial power, the United States government is in a unique position to help the scientific community make great advances in the field of stem cell research. Is our government using this authority to
Our current presidential administration has said that it supported stem cell research as long as the cells used in experiments were not embryonic. In 2001, President Bush made comments from his Crawford ranch where he recognized that removing federal money from embryonic studies greatly reduced the healing potential of stem cells. Bush said in a radio address that "most scientists, at least today, believed that research on embryonic stem cells offered the most promise because these cells had the potential to develop in all of the tissues in the body".
the best of its ability? It is time to re-evaluate the federal restrictions on stem cell research.
Bush said in the address that his rejection of embryonic research was based on his personal belief about when life began. He has the right to hold and express this belief, but why should American policy be based on his beliefs?
Recently, Fred Steeper, a long-time Republican pollster, conducted a survey of 800 registered Kansas voters about their feelings on stem cell research. According to his analysis of the survey,"substantial majorities of Kansas's voters approve of both types of embryonic stem cell research." The report also stated that "the voters' support of embryonic stem cell research exists both before and after they hear major arguments made by opponents and supporters."
Kansas is only one state, but the survey results indicate that informed Americans support embryonic stem cell research. It is time that our government reflected those values by increasing funding to stem cell research programs.

Zone
CONTINUED FROM 12A
"Mario and Russell really got comfortable to start the second half, and they keyed it without a question. I thought that they played great," Self said.
Robinson said that he and Chalmers fed off of each other and that both were able to score.
Chalmers and Robinson set the tone early in the second half and helped dictate the play during the remainder of the game. After the 16-0 run, the game slowed down, because the officials began to call a much tighter game. They called 38 fouls in the second half and sent the Jayhawks to the line 36 times.
The Jayhawks shot 75 percent from the line last night, and Robinson missed one, getting 12 of his career-high 24 points at the stripe.
In other games this season, the Jayhawks have died at the free-throw line. Wednesday night, they lived.
Jackson scored 11 first-half points, five of which came from free throws when he was aggressive inside.
Consistently, Jackson found himself on the receiving end of perfect feeds from the guards, which he either laid in or
slammed home.
"I just try to keep focused and take open shots and let the game come to me." Robinson said.
The Aggies' leading scorer, Acie Law, got off to a fast start in the first half, scoring seven points in the first seven minutes of the game.
With so many fouls being called, Self chose to switch from a man-to-man defense to a three-two zone in the middle of the second half. The zone gave the Aggies fits, and they were unable to get any offense going.
Robinson, after hitting a three-point shot early in the first half, didn't score again until the second half. It was his defensive pressure, however, along with Chalmers' eight assists that enabled Kansas to move to 3-2 in conference play.
Kansas got solid production from its post players, especially sophomore Darnell Jackson who scored 12 points with nine rebounds.
Self said that going to the zone was a major factor in limiting Law's ability to get into the paint and draw fouls.
Sophomore center CJ Giles appeared to be more active on the offensive and defensive end than in previous weeks. Giles altered shots and got to the net where he slammed home an allyoop off of an in-bounds play.
It was downhill from there though. Law had just 10 points in the rest of the game.
"Russell is a good kid and he and Hawk (Jeff Hawkins) did a good job collectively on him the rest of the first half," Self said.
Basketball Notes:
Freshman Julian Wright made his first career start but played just six minutes. Self said Wright's minutes were limited because Self wanted a bigger lineup.
Sophomore guard Rodrick Stewart saw his most significant time of the season, when Self inserted him into the game midway through the first half.
◆ The fans in attendance attempted to "white out" Reed Arena, with nearly all fans wearing white. The 12,110 fans in Reed arena were the season's largest crowd.
Kansas radio broadcaster Max Falkenstein was recognized before the game and was presented with a basketball, signed by the Texas A&M team. This will be the final time Falkenstein will be in College Station for a game.
♦ The Kansas victory against Texas A&M makes the Jayhawks 11-0 all-time against the Aggies.
Kansas attempted 44 free throws, the most since the 1997 season. The 33 made free throws were also the most since 1997.

Teammates surprised by Downs' departure
BY RYAN COLAIANNI
rcolaianni@kansan.com
KANSAN SEHOR. SPORTSWITHER
COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Russell Robinson might start to think that his roommates don't like him.
Freshman guard Micah Downs left the University of Kansas and the basketball team on Tuesday. This had Robinson, sophomore guard, thinking of last season, when former Kansas forward Alex Galindo chose to leave the team as well. Both were Robinson's roommates.
Robinson said he could tell that Downs didn't feel comfortable.
"I felt that he gave an effort to try
and keep a good attitude," Robinson said. "I just think that he was overwhelmed — being away from home is really tough for a freshman, period."
Downs cited personal reasons for his transfer after he averaged 4.3 points in 13 games this season.
Freshman guard Brandon Rush said he had no idea of Downs' departure.
Robinson did not see Downs for two days leading up to his departure.
times, during the season a little bit, but I tried not to focus on it and just tried to get better." Robinson said.
Robinson almost put himself in a similar situation last year, but decided to stay.
"I didn't even know he was leaving." Rush said. "It was real surprising, but I wish him well."
"I thought he was in there, because he is just that quiet." Robinson said. "I just thought he was in there, and then I didn't see him for two days."
I came very close a couple of
Robinson said he had not called Downs in the time between Tuesday and Wednesday night's victory because it would have been a distraction while Kansas prepared to play at Texas A&M.
Robinson said he would likely call Downs Wednesday night after the game.

After Robinson's three-point
Sophomore guard Russell Robinson hit a three-point shot with 15:08 left in the second half, which capped a 16-0 run. Robinson had seven points during that run. It marked the second time in the last two games that Kansas went on a 16-0 run. During the Nebraska game last Saturday, Robinson scored eight points in the Kansas 16-0 run.
shot, Texas A&M went on an 8-0 run. Josh Carter and Dominique Kirk hit back-to-back three-pointers to start the run followed by two free throws. Freshman guard Mario Chalmers hit a layup to end the comeback with 12:56 to play in the game and stretched Kansas' lead back to eight.
After a pair of Joseph Jones free throws shrunk the Kansas lead to four, Robinson
and Chalmers scored eight unanswered points.Two Chalmers free throws made the score 62-50 with 7:51 to play.
Sophomore forward Darnell Jackson hit his second of two free throws with 0:53 to play in the game. That would start a streak of seven consecutive KU free throws to put the game out of reach.

Diary from a diehard basketball fan
By CJ MOORE
cjmoore@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
After two straight losses to Kansas State and Missouri, I thought it was unhealthy to hold in all my built up angst. As a result, I kept a running game diary during games so I could vent.
7:07 — Its "white out" night in College Station, Texas. All the fans are sporting white T-shirts. I say they didn't take this far enough. Why not white suits for the coaches? How about all-white uniforms for the cheerleaders?
7:13 — Sophomore center CJ Giles checks in the game. He must have found his way to class Monday.
7:24 --- Dave Armstrong gives
7:28 — Sophomore guard Rodrick Stewart enters the game early. Still no senior forward Christian Moody.
8:11 — Sophomore center Sasha Kaun throws it down hard to start the second half. Does he say, "I crush you," when he dunks on people? If not, he should.
8:15 — Rush leaps up and slams home an alley-oop pass. If that doesn't make SportsCenter's
us the first inevitable play on words from Acie Law's name after sophomore forward Darnell Jackson's follow-up dunk. "Darnell Jackson fought the law and the law didn't win," he said.
8:09 — There someone in the student section wearing a red shirt.
Did he not get the memo? Kick him out! Better vet, expel him.
Top 10, Missouri graduate John Anderson must have been at the controls.
8:23 Texas A&M doesn't score its first basket of the second half until this point. Whatever Self said at half, he needs to bottle up and save it for later in the season.
8:29 — Is anyone else curious about the long story on Law's arm, a.k.a. his tattoo?
9:14 — Rush with the unconventional four-point play — he makes his first free throw, misses the second, grabs the board and puts home another layup despite the foul. That followed with another free throw — just as he planned it of course.

Adjust your plans. A conversation takes you in a new direction. You need to update your frame of reference as a result of a key situation. Come from a point of being centered when making a decision. Tonight: Head home. You need time.
**BOUNCE (NO.2 EARTH 27)**
A changing financial situation could have you verbalizing and brainstorming. Expenses could be out of whack. Listen to news, but don't jump to conclusions. Talk to others, schedule meetings and visit with friends. Listen to what is being shared.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) *★★★*
Use the daylight hours. Your personality impresses someone who counts. You need to know when to back off. If you do, you could be the all-time winner. Invite a friend or loved one out to dinner. Tonight. Your treat.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ****
Your lively manner and decisive thoughts make a difference to all the people around you. Understand what others think is the first step in helping them change their mind. A discussion will be successful if you follow this piece of advice. Think positively.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) **** Use the daylight hours to plan and understand. Your ability to be resourceful and sleuth out problems helps you come out smelling like roses. Schedule people-type activities for later in the afternoon.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★★
You are in the limelight. Verbalize your thoughts or an important hunch. You are on top of a question or an issue. You'll gain if you follow through on a meeting in which you need to bring others together.

Defensive troubles continue for Kansas

KANSAN SENIOR SPORTSWRIVER
MANHATTAN — Any defensive momentum the Kansas women's basketball team gained in its previous game vanished in a purple haze Wednesday night.
Kansas continued its defensive struggle in Big 12 Conference games this season in last night's loss at Kansas State.
Kansas State's freshman post players thrived scoring 22 points against a Kansas defense focused on leading scorer Claire Coggins.
Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said she was disappointed her team was not able to defend Kansas State better one-on-one.
"We gave them too many easy shots from the post, and they made them," Henrickson said.
One of the most telling possessions came with the Jayhawks trailing by seven early in the second half. After a missed three-point shot, Wildcat forwards Jessica McFarland and Claire Coggins each snagged offensive rebounds. McFarland was able to get open in the paint and knocked down a short jumper.
Despite holding Coggins to 12 points, Kansas gave up 38 total points to Kansas State players in the paint.
As has been the case most of the season, the Jayhawks have struggled to defend in the middle of game, especially in the post. Kansas trailed by only two at halftime, but poor defense in the paint was key in Kansas State's second-half run.
The chance to go against an experienced player like Kemp excited several of the Wildcats young post players.
Senior forward Crystal Kemp said she was getting forced low in the paint, enabling the Wildcats to shoot their shots right over her head.
"I could have defended better," Kemp said. "That's poor defense on my part."
calls young post-grad students, “In a way I was fired up,” freshman forward Marlies Gipson said. "Our focus was to go in there and try to stop her together."
Instead, the Jayhawks were unable to stop the Wildcats in the post and continued to struggle defensively.

sturges.
"I think we just pick about four or five minutes where we decide not to play," Henrickson said. "We can't have laps like that."
Maybe those legend shoes will fit after all.
Women's basketball notebook;
Sophomore forward Jamie Boyd returned to the lineup after missing Sunday's game due to injury. She re-entered the game midway through the second half.
A large crowd of 7,128 was on-hand to watch the game. The crowd filled up both sides of the arena and a small portion of the seats behind the baskets, and the student section was full with the exception of the top two rows. The students were positioned right behind the KU bench and yelled during time-outs when Henrickson attempted to coach the players.
Kansas wore red uniforms for the first time in decades. The uniforms are identical to the red uniforms the Kansas men's team wore. Henrickson said the team was going to wear them during a home game before Christmas, but got superstitious. The team was undefeated at the time.
"I don't think you rattle those young kids," the coach said. "We recruit them tough."
After converting all three free-throw attempts in the first half, Kansas struggled at the line in the second half, going only 6-of-15. Freshman guard Ivana Catic missed all four of her attempts.
Kansas has yet to pick up a victory on the road and will have a tough time this weekend. On Saturday the team visits defending national champion Baylor at 3 p.m. in a game televised on CSTV.

Kobe nearly shatters 44-year-old record
Kobe Bryant could always score.The NBA star scored 81 points, almost single-handedly taming the Toronto Raptors at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
That achievement threatened the NBA's all-time mark of 100 set by Wilt Chamberlain 44 years ago.
Afterward, with his wife, Vanessa, and his 3-year-old daughter, Bryant struggled to put the accomplishment in perspective.
Not so the NBA. Always on the lookout for marketing angles, the league is hawking a commemorative jersey with "81" on the front and Bryant's name on the back. Sales will provide a revealing glimpse of whether Kobe can shoot his way back into America's heart.
"To sit here and say I grasp what happened tonight, 'I'd be lying,' he said after Sunday's shooting spree.
The Lakers, are 22-19 and holding down the sixth spot in the conference. Even on the road, where taunts and boos continue, no one in the crowd dares take their eyes off him.
INTRAMURALS

Online sign-up now available
There is a new process to register an intramural team at the University this semester.
The Student Fitness Recreation Center introduced an online registration process to make signing up faster and easier for students. The new system started two days ago for basketball intramurals. Basketball sign-up ended last night at 6 p.m.
Ryan Boehler, Olathe junior, said he received an error message when he tried to register his team. The system told Boehler that it was overloaded with users. The message forced him to register at the rec center.
Some students experienced problems with the new online system.
Kurt Schooley, director of intramurals, said that a student could occasionally receive a "Query Error" message when the system was overwhelmed
with users. Schooley said this was not a problem and students were able to register with the online system a few minutes later.
Boehler said the system had its advantages, despite the message he received. He was able to log into the system from home after manually registering at the rec center.
"The feature that I liked the most was that I could add players to my roster without having to go to the recreation center,"
Boehler said.
Boehler said he still had to go to the rec center if he wanted to change the day his team played, though.
Schooloy said he encouraged any student who experienced problems with the new system to contact the rec center.
"As of right now, we have 149 teams signed up, so I would say it has been pretty successful," he said.

Garrett Kohl, Olathe sophomore, said his only complaint was from the information the new system asked for. Kohl said he was forced to retrieve the 16-digit ISO number on the front of each KUID to register. He said it would have been easier to provide the more well-known seven-digit KUID numbers from his team.

Pacers, Kings swap players to fill team gaps
BY MICHAEL MAROT THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
INDIANAPOLIS — Ron Artest is no longer the Indiana Pacers' problem.
The volatile forward was traded Wednesday to the Sacramento Kings for former all-star Peia Stojakovic.
The deal ends a turmoil-filled career for Artest in Indiana, and eliminates the biggest distraction the Pacers faced this season.
"We're gamblers," Kings co-owner Gavin Maloof said before Sacramento played the Knicks in New York on Wednesday night. "So we're going to take a chance on him."
Artest first requested a trade in December, after it was rumored that he would be dealt to the Kings for Stojakovic. The Pacers deactivated Artest after his trade demand.
And when it appeared Artest would, indeed, be heading to the Kings on Tuesday, he reportedly balked at playing in Sacramento. Artest changed his mind after meeting with Walsh at Conseco Fieldhouse on earlier Wednesday.
Indiana spent several weeks searching for the right deal, nearly sending Artest to the Los Angeles Clippers before reviving talks with the Kings in recent days.
This trade has actually been rumored for three years,
with the Kings thought to have needed Artest's defense as much as the Pacers needed Stoiakovic's offense.
Artest is due to make $7.15 million next season and $7.8 million in 2007-08, with an $8.45 million player option for 2008-09.
"He's one of the best shooters in the league and we definitely feel he can help us right awaw."
"Obviously, we're very happy about getting a player of (Stojakovic's) caliber," Pacers president Larry Bird said in a statement.
But it also rids the Pacers of a player who has made the inexplicable seem routine.
He was suspended for the final 73 games and the playoffs last season after charging into the stands and fighting with Detroit Pistons fans in one of the nastiest sports brawls in U.S. history.
During his career in Indiana, Artest also was disciplined for kicking a ball into the stands, throwing a television camera and twice jawed with Miami Heat coach Pat Riley during games.
Since coming to Indiana in February 2002, Artest has been one of the Pacers' top players — when he has stayed on the court.
He earned an All-Star berth and recognition as the NBA's defensive player of the year in 2003-04.
“O
"Obviously, we're very happy about getting a player of (Stojakovic's) caliber."
Larry Bird Pacers president
He led the league in steals and averaged 19.4 points per game this season before his trade request.
PANA 15
But Stojakovic gives Indiana a new start.
He was the Kings' longestenured player, joining the club as an unheralded 21-year-old rookie in 1998 and becoming a three-time AllStar.
Stojakovic seems likely to earn a hefty contract when he is rumored to become a free agent this summer after declining his $8.2 million option for next season, perhaps getting the maximum deal. Instead, this season has been dismal for the Serbian star.
He is averaging just 16.5 points per game, his lowest total since his second NBA season, while making just 40.3 percent of his shots, along with 5.3 rebounds and 2.2 assists.
Darron Cummings/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
He has been bothered by various injuries and missed eight games this season.
Indiana Pacers' Ron Artest dunks against the Washington Wizards during the second quarter of a preseason game in Indianapolis, on Oct. 28. The Pacers traded Artest to the Sacramento Kings for Peja Stojakovic.
The Pacers have struggled without Artest. They were 10-
6 in games he played and are 11-14 without him, losing five of their last six — including a 30-point loss to Cleveland on Tuesday night. Jermaine
O'Neal has hinted that players might be concerned about possibly getting traded along with Artest, and it could be affecting their performance.

'Hawks slam past Aggies

KANSAN SENIOR SPORTSWITHER
COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Whether it was slarming home an ally-oop dunk over a Texas A&M defender or rolling in a clutch lay-up and picking up the foul with less than three minutes to play, the Aggie faithful saw it all from Brandon Rush.
Rush, freshman guard, sparked the Jayhawks in the opening few minutes of the second half — including that
monster dunk over Aggie Chris Walker — all part of a 16-0 run that Kansas used to build its way to an 83-73 victory against Texas A&M.
"We played great to start the second half, and I think we were pretty fortunate that they missed some shots, but we defended them a lot better," Kansas coach Bill Seid said.
Rush was aggressive throughout the game, getting to the basket and either dunking or pushing home short floaters from the lane.

Kansas needed that run to start the second half, after trailing 33-31 at halftime. Rush, with the help of freshman guard Mario Chalmers and sophomore guard Russell Robinson, were able to get the Jayhawks going and to silence a raucous Aggie crowd.

New facility curbs team travel
BY ERIC JORGENSEN
ejorgensen@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Indoor tennis will return to Lawrence on Monday when First Serve Tennis opens at 5200 Clinton Parkway.
Alvamar Racquet Club, the former indoor home to the Jayhawks, was bought out and turned into a private school, Bishop Seabury Academy, three years ago.
The arrival will also mark the return of an indoor tennis facility for the Kansas tennis team
Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said the Athletics Department would pay First Serve Tennis $10,000 per month for use of the facility.
He said the department could subsidize the courts for three to four months during the winter instead of being forced to build and maintain its own
facility for the entire year.
The new facility will create an opportunity for the tennis team that it didn't have in the other cities.
The University has eight outdoor courts, but no indoor courts of its own.
Since the departure of Alvamar's tennis facility, the team had been traveling to Topeka or Kansas City, Kan. for indoor courts on wet or cold days.
In return, Lawrence resident Mike Elwell has a guaranteed income to start and sustain his developing business.
"I think its going to help with getting more students out for support," Kansas coach Amy Hall-Holt said.
Marchiony said the local facility would also help Kansas recruit good players in the area.
This year's roster has five of its nine players hail from outside of the country. Only one player, sophomore Stephanie Smith, is from Kansas.
Hall-Holt said the local facility would be more appealing to local players than a facility 30-45 minutes away.
Liwell purchased the facility, formerly Sport 2 Sport, and remodeled the inside to accommodate tennis play. Currently there are three indoor courts. Liwell said he planned to add one more indoor court and six outdoor courts in the coming months.
He said many of the courts would be catered to fit the needs of the Kansas tennis team.
"Without KU's commitment I would not have tackled this," Elwell said.
The tennis team's first home meet this spring will be Saturday in Topeka against Drake.

Comeback falls short at K-State
KANSAS 50 KANSAS 23
MANHATTAN — It's not easy to fill the shoes of a legend.
Senior guard Erica Hallman tries to break away from Kansas State defenders during the second half of Wednesday night's game in Manhattan.
Kansas State freshman Marties Gipson ran onto the court underneath banners of Wildcat All-Americans Kendra Wecker and Nicole Ohlde.
She was introduced after video highlights of WNBA stars Wecker and Laurie Koehn.
During a time-out, the announcer reminded Gipson that Wecker and Koehn's teams never lost to Kansas.
The fans insisted on Jayhawk
blood, which Gipson delivered in the form of a 69-63 victory, the Wildcats' ninth straight against the Jayhawks.
Holding a two-point lead at halftime won Gipson no applause from a packed Bramlage Coliseum crowd.
Kansas' senior class of forward Crystal Kemp and guards Erica Hallman and Kaylee Brown will finish their careers winless in Manhattan.
"It hurts real bad," Hallman said. "We're good enough to beat Kansas State at Kansas State, but we came up short."
The Wildcats opened up the second half with a 16-4 run, tear
ing up the Jayhawks over a stretch of seven minutes. They constantly found teammates in the paint for easy baskets.
It wasn't an easy victory, though.
"Coach told us we weren't playing with enough intensity." Gipson said. "We came out in the second half fired up and ready to go."
After Gipson left the game due to foul trouble, the Jayhawks responded with a 17-4 run of their own, bringing the game as close as two points with 20 seconds remaining.
Kansas State Junior guard Claire Coggins stepped up to the freethrow line three times in the final minute of the game. She hit 5-of-6 shots on those three trips.
Toward the end of the game, Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson went to her bench, something she's been hesitant to do in Big 12 competition. Freshman guard Sophronia Sallard played 15 minutes and provided Kansas with a four-guard set.
Hallman initiated the comeback, using screens to find open shots. She finished the game with 18 points, second only to Kemp's 20.
Henrickson said she played Sallard because Kemp was often double-teamed. The Wildcats were left with only three defenders to guard four Kansas shooters.
Junior guard Shaquina Mosley played only 13 minutes, but a majority of them were during the Kansas run. She was conscious of the ball on every possession and did not turn the ball over as she did earlier in the season.
"I think it was hard for her at the beginning of the season. I think now she's getting the hang of things." Brown said, pointing to her head to indicate Mosley's mental progress.

LIFE OF BRIAN
Underclassmen aren't to blame for slow start
If the most fashionable thing to say about this year's men's basketball team is "not playing well enough," as my colleague Jimmy Chavez suggested on Monday, then certainly the second most fashionable thing to say is "it's OK because this team is young."
A 12-6 record is certainly not what Kansas fans have grown accustomed to, but you certainly can't blame the underclassmen. It's scary to imagine where this team would be without its studfilled freshmen and sophomore classes. Kansas could easily be under .500.
It was a freshman, guard Brandon Rush, who brought Kansas back into the game against Arkansas in Maui. His three-pointer with less than three minutes left actually gave the Jayhawks a one-point lead.
The question to ask is where would Kansas be — or rather, how much better would Kansas be — without the upperclassmen.
It was a freshman, the nowdeparted Micah Downs, who kept the Jayhawks alive against Nevada. His three-point shot with 0:17 left brought Kansas within a point. His shot was the most clutch of any Jayhawk this season.
But it was a senior, guard jeff Hawkins, whose late turnovers and ill-advised, blocked three-point attempt with 0:12 left cost the game.
PETER C. HANCOCK

But when Nevada missed
BY BRIAN WACKER
bwacker@kansan.com
one of two free throws on the ensuing possession, it was a senior, Hawkins, who cost the Jayhawks a game. Coach Bill Self took Downs out of the game and let Hawkins wildly dribble the ball coast-to-coast. He nearly stepped out-of-bounds before forcing a pass to sophomore CJ Giles, whose subsequent shot was blocked.
Sure, the block was probably a blown call, but Self should know as well as anyone that he can never depend on getting a foul called at the end of the game. Plus, does anyone actually believe Giles would have made his free throws had the foul been called?
It was two seniors, Hawkins and forward Christian Moody, who logged a combined total of 30 minutes against Kansas State but came away with zero points and six personal fouls for their time. I guess their "senior leadership" wasn't enough to crack the simple 2-3 zone the Wildcats played.
And it was a senior, Moody,
who couldn't come through
in the clutch against Missouri.
I doubt I need to tell
you, but any player playing at
Sophomore Darnell Jackson is proving to be a force down low, and until last night was perhaps the only steady free-throw shooter (24-32) on the team. And sophomore Russell Robinson was huge last night with 24 points, going 12-of-13 from the charity stripe.
Kansas — walk-on or otherwise — must be able to knock down a single free throw in that situation.
Last night, Self started five underclassmen while Moody and Hawkins combined played for a total of 20 minutes, taking only one shot.
All the while, it has been freshmen and sophomores who have kept Kansas afloat. Despite an off game or two, Rush has assumed the role of the go-to scorer quite well. Freshman Mario Chalmers is averaging 14.6 points per game over the last five games, including a refreshing 8-of-8 from the free throw line Wednesday night.
The result: A huge road victory at a crucial point in the conference season.
Here's to hoping that Self continues to trust his younger players to step up and assume the roles that his seniors haven't been able to fill.

EDITOR'S NOTE
I've wondered why I found my Lawrence house depressing. I figured it was just the fact that we can't afford to have it above 60 degrees, or that we've had three keegers and
never bothered to mop up the "beer pong room." Katie Moyer's Feng Shui article (page 8) made me realize it may not be just the shivering or the stale beer smell, but the negative energy that comes from them, along with the exposed wire in the kitchen and the mismatched Neil Diamond-Parisian scene poster pair in the living room.
Yes, it's all about the new ideas. This semester
we're trying a lot of new things for Jayplay: it's been trimmed lean in some places and fattened up in others. We've reworked, reorganized, redesigned and gussied up the magazine to make it easier and more fun for you to read. We're offering new short pieces (find your drunk food of the week, page 4) and more of your stories (see Mortifying Moments, page 9).
This issue we offer a new cultural perspective: read Katie Moyer's story about life for a practicing Muslim KU student (page 10), or James Foley's about the Japanese new year tradition.
If you have any new ideas for us, any complaints or questions, write us at jayplay06@gmail.com. We want to hear your voice.

Say good-bye to that scene.Little deep-dish pizzas are here to save the night.

TASTING TOFU
by Kelsie Smith
It's not just for hippies anymore...
to www.soyfoods.com, tofu is a soft, cheese-like food (they mean in texture) made by curdling hot soymilk with a coagulant (often calcium sulfate).
Tofu gets a bad rap. Its pale color and rubbery consistency have kept many Americans away. But as health-conscious eaters begin to accept the benefits of soy protein, it may be time for tofu's second first impression.
One of the best attributes of tofu, O'Connor says, is its malleability — it can be frozen and thawed, blended and marinated; it can be molded into a mock-Thanksgiving turkey or mashed like potatoes. And if you want to try a locally-made variety, buy from Lawrence's own Central Soy Foods, 710 E. 22nd St., where the tofu is made from Kansan soybeans.
For years tofu has been associated with veggie-eating hippies. Nancy O'Connor, education and outreach director at The Merc, 901 Iowa St., says there are a couple reasons tofu has had a tough time in American cuisine. For one, O'Connor says, since tofu didn't originate in the States, it makes our fast food-driven society leery.
So if it's not like cheese (which you know if you've ever tried it), then what is it? According
Whether you love it or hate it, mash it or mold it, O'Connor knows one thing is for sure.
"Tofu is an easy food to pick fun at," she says. "It's a lightning rod for people who want to poke fun at natural foods. But really, it's
"Tofu," she says, "is simply unlike anything else."
When cooking with tofu, O'Connor says it's important to think of the white block you're dealing with as an ingredient – not an end product. "You don't eat tofu like you eat cheese," she adds.
another option in a varied diet for a protein source that doesn't have any cholesterol, is pretty affordable and pretty versatile."
Still, O'Connor, who teaches tofu cooking classes at The Merc, says poorly prepared tofu is enough to turn anyone away for good, and that many people who have tried tofu and didn't like it probably just had a dish that was poorly prepared.
WANNA TRY IT? HERE'S A SIMPLE RECIPE FOR PAN-FRIED TOFU JUST HEAT SOME OIL AND SOY SAUCE IN A PAN, CUT SOME FIRM TOFU INTO SLICES, AND FRY IT 7-10 MINUTES ON EACH SIDE.
Tofu made from Kansan soybeans is available from Central Soy Foods, 710 E. 22nd St. Tofu is a versatile product and an alternate source of protein.
TYPES OF TOFU
Types most often found in grocery stores:
Firm tofu: Use this any time you want the tofu to keep its shape (stir fries, soups, on the grill). This type of tofu is higher in protein, fat and calcium than other forms of tofu.
Silken tofu: Made by a slightly different process that causes a creamy, custard-like product. It works well in pureed or blended dishes.
Soft tofu: A good choice for recipes that include blended tofu.

FASHION TREND Cropped is cuter
Ballerina cardigans. Cropped sweaters.Tie front cardigans.Shrugs For women this winter, the shorter the sweater, the better. Even though it may look like they're walking around with half of their shirt missing, the cropped sweater rests at the top of this season's hottest fashion trends, and for good reason.The versatility of the cropped sweater means you can still show off your favorite tank top in the dead of winter without worrying about frostbite.The short sweater trend also makes layering clothing easy and sexy. Be warned,the cropped trend shouldn't apply to turtlenecks. If it's frigid enough to cover your neck,why not extend the same courtesy to your mid-section?
