Marijuana advocate to speak
Marijuana advocate to speak

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
An author and marijuana advocate will sign books and speak about legalizing marijuana tonight at 8 in The Jackpot Saloon, 943 Massachusetts St.
Ed Rosenthal, author of books such as "Marijuana Success: Grow a Great Garden," and "Marijuana Question? Ask Ed," said the government has arbitrarily made the drug illegal.
"It's only illegal for political reasons," Rosenthal said. "Peo-
ple that have been convicted are becoming political prisoners, and it's creating incredible damages for society."
Laura Green, executive director for the Drug Policy Forum of Kansas, asked Rosenthal to speak in Lawrence. She said one of the main reasons was to promote the upcoming Students for Sensible Drug Policy conference in Columbia, Mo., March 3-5. The group provides outreach programs and public health solutions.

Student loans no longer at risk
BY KRISTEN JARBOE

KANAS STAFF WRITER
The municipal court will now carry cases involving possession of marijuana, instead of the district court. The Lawrence City Commission passed the ordinance Tuesday night by a 3-2 vote. The consequences of the ordinance are effective immediately.
Mayor
The student loans of people caught with marijuana will no longer be affected. Because of the Higher Education Act Drug Provision, individuals convicted in state court of drug use typically lose their current financial aid.
The version that was passed set the fine at $200. There were two proposed versions originally: one involving a fine of $100 and a mandatory evaluation of the offended and the other involving a $300 fine with no mandatory evaluation. The new version with the changed fine to $200 includes the mandatory evaluation. The mandatory evaluation of the ordinance was supported by all five commissioners.
Before the ordinance was passed, the city followed Kansas law, in which first-time marijuana prosecutions were punishable by a fine of up to $2,500 and one year in jail.
court, then
Commissioner Mike Amyx, who has in the past supported the $300 fine, was the first to propose the $200 compromise. Commissioners David Schauner and Sue Hack agreed.
May 4, 2013
Dennis "Boog" Highberger, who supported the $100 version, was curious about their reasoning.
"It seems like a separate issue in regards to the fine," he said. "I'm not hearing any justification for a suffer fine."
Hack said, "There's a line that I think I have to draw. It's not enough to discourage people from doing this."
Amiya thought this was enough to discourage people, "If this is the way to get offenders to our municipal
concern
this is the way to do it. What's it worth to save the student loans?"
The issue of the second conviction of possession of marijuana being a felony was brought up by Schauer to Scott J. Miller, who wrote the two-version memorandum. Schauer wanted to make sure that offenders knew of this before they committed a second offense. Miller said it was possible for the judge to issue a warning for first-time offenders.
Highberger agreed with Schauner's
and said, "It's outrageous that the second offense is a felony. I would strongly encourage judges to inform the public of this."
Kim Richter, a KU Medical Center employee and concerned parent, has been working with the commissioners with this ordinance since August. She made a statement at the 6:35 p.m. meeting held at City Hall, 6 E. Sixth St., and continues to strongly favor an evaluation of the offender.

Transportation would benefit from fee increase
BY NICOLE KELLEY
nkelley@kansan.com
KANKSAN STAFF WRITER
It's 1:30 a.m. at a house party on the edge of town, and the time has come to find a safe way home after a night of drinking. Numerous calls have been made to SafeRide, but after 20 minutes of busy signals a decision is made to risk it and drive home.
KU on Wheels is trying to reduce the frequency of situations like this.
The transportation board has asked Student Senate to consider increasing the campus transportation fee to help cover the rising cost of fuel and increase the number of SafeRide dispatchers.
"No one likes to see fees increase," said Jessica Mortinger, Hays junior and KU on Wheels transportation coordinator. She said fee increases were inevitable in order to maintain service over an extended period of time.
The bills have been approved by the finance committee and will be voted on by the full Student Senate tonight. They will either approve the bills or put them on the ballot as a referendum in the Student Senate election.
The last time KU on Wheels asked for a fee increase was in 1999. Mortinger said the $2 increase went to SafeRide. She said people couldn't expect to have the same level of service without increasing funds.

KU on Wheels requested to split the fee and separate SafeRide from other transportation expenses. Students would pay $4 to SafeRide and $14 to transportation. At the end of the year, any money SafeRide had left would carry over, rather than transferred extra funds to transportation funds.
KU on Wheels has written two additional bills that would increase the SafeRide fee to $6 and the transportation fee to $16. If both bills pass, students would see a $4 increase to their campus fees.
"I think it's a fair thing to do," Nate Johnson, Manhattan sophomore, said. "It's a small increase compared to other things."

Delivery drivers face pizza perils

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The Lawrence Police Department is investigating the armed robberies of a Domino's pizza-delivery driver and a Gumby's delivery driver that occurred almost within 24 hours of each other.
Both drivers were robbed at gunpoint. The Domino's driver was robbed of $20 in cash, and the
Gumby's driver was robbed of his cell phone and $150 in cash.
Both robberies occurred at GraystoneApartments, 2500 W. Sixth St. The Domino's driver was robbed

The two incidents were only two months removed from the December 2005 robbery of a Pizza Shuttle delivery driver in the 2500 block of Redbud Lane. In that incident the delivery driver was struck over the head with a metal object, beaten and robbed of his pizza and $27.50.

Jeanne Shaheen, former governor of New Hampshire, Barbara Lee, founder of the Barbara Lee Family Foundation, and Jane Swift, former governor of Massachusetts, gave a lecture at the Dole Institute of Politics yesterday. The lecture "Chief Executive; Women as Governors" was part of the Institute's "The First Woman President" lecture series.
SPEAKER
Robert J. Dole
Institute of Politics
Lee said voters were gradually becoming more comfortable with seeing women in positions of political power. She said a large mass of women must run for office and win in order to create change and equality for women.

Lee said people in Kansas were ahead of the game. While
Former women governors Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire and Jane Swift of Massachusetts spoke on a panel about the challenges of having a family and holding political office to a crowd of more than 100 people Tuesday night.
Panel stresses career, family
It was the last of five events at the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics Presidential Lecture Series.
The panel was moderated by Barbara Lee, a promoter of women gaining political power. She is also founder of the Barbara Lee Family Foundation, which studies women in politics.
30 states have never had a woman governor, Kansas is one of only three states to have had two. Governor Sebelius, who was in the audience was elected years after the first woman governor of Kansas, Joan Finney. Sebelius was recently named by the White House Project, which promotes a woman to the presidency of the U.S., as one of eight potential first woman presidents.
Kansas also gave women the right to vote in 1912, eight years earlier than the rest of the United States. It also had the first woman mayor.
Swift said the key was to have women with both a family and political office. She said successful women in office don't have families for the most part,
Former Governor Jane Swift gave birth to twins while she was in office. She stressed the need for maternity leave, saying the state of Massachusetts has no such program for its government employees. She also said that women have a hard time reentering politics after taking time off for their families.
but that many young women were expressing the desire to have families. Therefore, the only way to expand women in politics was to find a way for them to do both.
Former Governor Jeanne Shaheen said that while she was fortunate enough to have three daughters who were all older than Swift's when she was running for office, she still had to find a balance. She said her oldest daughter took a semester off college to help with her campaign. And her husband, a judge, did the same thing. In that way she showed that not only could she manage a family but also a political office. The only tricky part, she said, was making sure it didn't look like her husband was calling the shots.
All of the women agreed that the key to having the first woman president was to see more women in office with both a successful political career and a family. That way, women can gain more political offices while still having a family.

Senators pitch new projects at open forum
BY NICOLE KELLEY
nkelley@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Twenty non-Senate affiliated students attended the event and listened to speeches by senators about new projects.
Student Senate held an open forum Tuesday night to allow students to meet and talk to senators about such issues as tuition, parking finances and Senate outreach.
Nolan T. Jones, Pittsburg junior and communications director for Senate, said it was a success in his eyes because only two non-affiliated students attended a similar forum last year.
The two big issues that were focused on during the meeting were a proposed guaranteed tuition plan and the effects of the new Park-and-Ride program.
Nick Sterner, student body president, presented the idea of a guaranteed tuition plan where students would know exactly what they would pay for tuition all four years at the University of Kansas, without the fear it would increase.
He said it was a rare program across the country but that the University was seriously looking into it to avoid making students deal with another big tuition increase, such as the one experienced in the last four years.
Jason Boots, Plano, Texas, senior and Student Senate Executive Committee Chairman, said the parking department was trying to make the new Park-and-Ride program more attractive to students.
It has increased all parking permits, except the Park and Ride permit, by $20, and has added five new buses.
Ashley Coleman, Shawnee sophomore and co-program chairwoman of the Black Student Union, said she thought the forum was a good opportunity for students to talk to the senators, but she didn't agree with the new parking ideas.
She said not everyone was able to afford the increased price of parking permits. Coleman plans to bring up the issue at the general assembly of the next BSU meeting so everyone can be aware of the effects of the program.

Johnson, who lives off campus and rides the bus every day, said he enjoyed the bus system. He said he would ride the bus even if the fees increased.
Mortinger said the increases were necessary to continue running an effective and comprehensive system.
She said the increase would benefit students because it would allow free services like SafeRide and Night Campus Express to continue.
In addition to increasing the fee, the transportation board will increase the cost of annual bus passes by $10 and semester passes by $5.
Mortinger said KU on Wheels would need to reduce the distance to some of the existing bus routes to maintain fiscal responsibility.

Lawmakers clean up Congress
BY JIM ABRAMS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON - The public would know when a senator has a drink on a lobbyist's tab or quietly inserts a pet project into legislation under a measure that won unanimous approval Tuesday by a Senate committee.
The 17-0 Rules Committee vote was the Senate's first stab at cleaning up the image of lawmakers tamished two months ago when former lobbyist Jack Abramoff pleaded guilty in a federal corruption investigation involving the use of millions of dollars to influence policy.
In the one party-line vote of the day, the panel rejected a Democratic alternative, offered by ranking Democrat Christopher Dodd of Connecticut, that he said would add some badly needed muscle to the proposal. Dodd's plan would have gone
The measure, sponsored by committee chairman Trent Lott, R-Miss., emphasizes greater transparency in interactions with lobbyists; Democrats on the panel, while generally favorable to provisions in the measure, said they didn't go far enough.
beyond Lott's ban on gifts from lobbyists to prohibit meals paid for by lobbyists and further restricted privately funded travel.
It also would have increased the moratorium for lawmakers accepting a lobbying job to two years—Lott's proposal retains
year waiting period—and required mandatory annual ethics training for congressional employees.

report on events attended during the trip and the names of accompanying lobbyists.
Members catching rides on corporate jets for official trips would have to list the names of all those on the plane, including lobbyists.
Privately funded trips would have to be preapproved by the Senate ethics committee and members would have to file a
Under Lott's proposal, lawmakers could still accept food and drinks from a lobbyist but would have to post the values of their meals on their Web sites within 15 days.
Harry Reid, D-Nev., said his party would continue working for "real reform" when the lobbying issue reaches the Senate floor. "The current proposal simply does not go far enough to put tough new rules on lobbying."
Sen. Daniel Inouye D-Hawaii
The reputation of the Senate is at stake, said Den. Daniel Inouye, D-Hawaii, a Rules Committee member, in calling for strong lobbying reform
measures. Currently, he said,
"The used car salesman is about one notch above us."
The Rules Committee vote was the first in a series of actions in coming weeks intended to reduce the taint of scandal as legislators face disillusioned voters in an election year. The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee on Thursday takes up a more comprehensive bill, sponsored by Sens. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Joe Lieberman, D-Conn. The full Senate could consider a combination of the two bills as early as next week.

Volunteers represent the University well
OUR OPINION
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 1, 2006
One particular post-graduate profession is growing significantly at the University of Kansas: The Peace Corps. Fifty-two KU alumni are serving in locations around the world, making the University 18th in the nation among large colleges and universities with graduates who join the Peace Corps. The University previously ranked 23rd in 2004 with 41 volunteers. In 2002 the University did not rank.
COS.
To the University's credit, it has made the largest jump in ranking among its group in recent years.
We congratulate the volunteers for contributing to this impressive ranking. It's not an easy endeavor to travel to a remote part of the world and work for 27 months on a very limited stipend. In doing so, these volunteers make a considerable difference in the places they are assigned and also have a chance to learn a new language, live in another culture and develop practical working skills.
The success of the program's recruiting in Lawrence can be credited to a number of people and organizations on campus. In particular, Betty Baron, Peace Corps coordinator at KU, has been instrumental in recruiting volunteers for the Peace Corps. Since she began working at her position in 2001, she has worked durelessly to encourage and inform students. Provost David Shulenburger also has long been an advocate for education on international issues. He requested the creation of a Task Force on Internationalization in 2002 to recommended ways to increase global awareness for students.
Stance: We salute the large number of KU graduates who join the Peace Corps.
Issue: The Peace Corps and KU alumni.
The Peace Corps volunteers deserve recognition for giving the University another positive distinction to be proud of.
All of this has translated into the University's success in sending a substantial number of graduates into the Peace Corps. In fact, since the program's start in 1960, 815 KU alumni have served, making us the 38th producer of all time for the Peace Corps, which has had more than 182,000 volunteers in 138 countries.
Students themselves have demonstrated a keen interest in exploring the globe and serving others. Statistics from 2004 say than more than 1,000 University of Kansas students study abroad each year, according to University Relations. That put the University fourth among public universities in the proportion of its students studying abroad. The Center for Community Outreach, the University's student-run volunteer organization, has more than 1,400 volunteers.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Double-check facts
This letter is in response to the article published in Monday's University Daily Kansan about the Swim team.
First of all, if you are going to write about a sport please make sure that you have your information and terms correct. For further reference: We were not in College Station, Texas, we were at Mizzou in Columbia, Mo. Swimmers do not compete in tournaments, we compete at swim meets. Our next "tournament" happens to be Nationalists and Zones, which deserves a little recognition in itself. It does not occur on Mar. 8 but, rather, Diving Zones are Mar. 10 to 12 and Swimming Nationals are Mar. 16 to 18.
Also, you spelled Jenny Short's
capture an audience outside of our team and our friends because it lacked any value. It was similar to reading a statistics page, considering it only focused on our placing and not on the accomplishments of our amazing Big 12 team.
Finally, your article failed to
The quotes chosen for the article lacked any sort of reflection on our team and our accomplishments as well. I hope that in the future articles focused on our team have a lot more effort and style put into the writing. Kansas athletes work hard and the little recognition that some of our teams get should not be as embarrassing as what we read Monday. Thank you.

'No-frills sex' can be just as exciting as kinky toys
▼ COMMENTARY
the Trojan condoms Website lists more than 10 different varieties of the average condom designed to induce greater pleasure and enhance the bedroom experience. There is the "Mint Tingle" condom, the "Twisted Pleasure" condom, the "Warm Sensations" condom and even a Trojan "Vibrating Ring," a battery operated contraption designed to increase satisfaction
Amy T.
A 2005 report from Jerry Ropelato for Top Ten Reviews, a consumer research company, said the pornography industry pulled in $57 billion dollars worldwide. Under that umbrella, phone sex, sex clubs, adult videos and novelties pulled in about $30.5 billion. Entire industries are devoted to making people feel, look, think and act sexier, and, not to mention, have better sex.
These days it seems as if everyone is looking for ways to enhance or increase sexual activity. More and more products are flying off the shelves as more and more options are being introduced. This makes trips to the local grocery, lingerie or adult bookstore a veritable headache because of the endless options. The mountain of options begs these really important questions: ribbed or natural latex, red lace or black leather, strawberry- or

bubble-gum-flavored lube?
Do we really need so many reinforcements to better our sex lives? What happened to our parents' generation, when sneaking out of the house to make out at Look Out Point was all the foreplay that was needed?
But we are living in this generation, an era where we can buy new vaginas from Dr. 90210, pop pills to hold our erections or even strap on a vibrating condom. In this over-stimulated, over-indulged, over-excited age, can we have sex naturally, without creams, videos or Botox?
I wanted to know if "no-frills sex" was still alive, and enjoyable, in our modern day lives, so I went to my friends for their insight. I asked them what their best experiences were like. Ironically, most of them said their most memorable experiences had nothing to do with slapping on tingle-inducing lubes, wearing kinky costumes,

watching explicit videos or reading Kama Sutra books. For many, sex was best when it was natural and in the moment, without external influences.
It didn't seem to matter whether their partners were serious significant others or random acquaintances, the real pleasure was in the simplicity of the encounter itself. Many mentioned their experiences were so good because they were so free of outside influences.
While broadening horizons and trying new things is beneficial to sexual activity, there is still something to be said about no-frills sex. After all, as long as there's a place in this world for giant dildos and mint-flavored condoms, there will be a place for no-frills sex.

Take time to enjoy pleasant weather
DAVID ARMSTRONG

This is always the time of year when it's the hardest to make it to class. It can be difficult to get out of bed on a cold winter day, but there's no denying the urge to simply be outside instead of in a classroom on a gorgeous spring day. I'm not advocating skipping class, but students shouldn't consume themselves so much with professional tunnel vision that they forget to stop and enjoy life.
At least some professors are kind enough to take their students outdoors. At the same time, though, this is almost more tortuous.
I experienced this a few times last semester. I felt like a dog trapped inside an electric fence, watching people as they laughed and skipped home from class, or threw a Frisbee with no desire to behave or pay attention to a lecture
The challenge is convincing oneself to actually go inside an overheated or chilly classroom — or worse, one without windows — to learn for a few hours. I truly enjoy learning, but I'd rather lie on the ground and stare at the sky on beautiful spring days.
Many of us get into jobs and extracurricular activities that we don't even want to be doing in the first place. I don't regret any of the money I earned working, and I really don't mind the time I spent volunteering when I would rather have been helping out somewhere else. But looking back, I wish I would've realized that I could have changed my mind about how I spent my time
I now realize that I have a choice. For all of the hours that I spent trapped behind that electric fence, so to speak, I could have probably had a whole extra spring season of laughing, skipping, smelling flowers and riding that natural high that I get when it's "nice" outside.
Do what you want to do and be who you want to be. Or keep going to meetings you don't want to be at, with the illusion that you are preparing yourself for a life you're excited about living. Again, the message isn't to dodge meetings, but to avoid their undesirability in the first place. Follow your heart and everything shall be grand.
I'm not saying you shouldn't go to class or be an active participant in your community. What I am saying is don't get involved with resume-building tasks if they're not something you're truly proud of and can appreciate.
Armstrong is a Overland Park senior in anthropology.
I've invested a lot of time and energy on lackluster "résumé-builders" to prepare for the "real world," but the problem is that it isn't my real world for which I've been preparing. Rather, the world according to certain ideologists who seem to be too scared to get shocked by running outside of their known barriers.

The University group is using hard work and sweat to top last year's result in Detroit's Formula SAE contest this year
BY DIRK NEWTON
editor@kansan.com
KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
While much of the student body is throwing down beers at the local bars or arguing with their burger-joint manager, a group of men in the KU engineering department is sweating it out in the garage at room 1109 in Learned Hall.
Perhaps you've passed by the room, which is cluttered with formula-style race cars and reeks of burnt rubber. Maybe you've been sitting in a classroom in the lower level of Learned and heard a deep roar coming from the basement. That could be the sound from any of the five cars that the school has built in the past. The students periodically test them and studying their design.
The group builds the cars from start to finish, and 90 percent of the parts and body are made and put together by the students themselves. The wheels, tires and engine are some of the few things they don't construct.
The body of the car is molded from carbon sheets in a massive oven and takes more than a week of eight- to 10-hour days to finish. The University is one of five schools in the competition believed to be using the lighter and stronger carbon body. The material is expensive and hard to come by, but Cytec Engineered Materials of New Jersey aided the Society of Automotive Engineers.
"It has a shelf life at zero degrees for aerospace quality and past that they can't use it on planes." Erich Ohlde, Lindsburg junior, said. "Basically we get about $130,000 worth of carbon fiber for free, but we don't go around bragging about it."
Early blueprints of the new car's suspension are on their design-room chalkboard. Nick Roberts, Olathe senior, said, "I won't even try to go into that," citing the elaborate formulas involved.
The program isn't new on campus. It has consistently placed highly in the Detroit Formula SAE competition since it first participated in 1995.
In the past, engineering students have used the first six months of the school year designing the car and the next three months building it by hand. If all went well, they got to test drive the car for a week.
The team's 12th-place finish last year was credited to the lack of pre-race testing because of an engine malfunction in the days leading up to the event.
"We had a top-10 car last year and could've even finished as high as top-five but the engine wasn't getting about one-third of its horsepower," Roberts said.
The team expects this year's car to finish in the top five, and each of them said there was a good chance it could win the whole thing.
to win, however, they might need some extra help. The team is undermanned this year and is looking for assistance from anyone who is willing to do so. They need help with mechanics and presentation and marketing.
There is no pay for helping, but the team says the experience alone is worth the time. People can volunteer by contacting team members via their Web site .jayhaukmotorsports.com
The team also is still looking for sponsors for the vehicle.
Edited by Matt Wilson
"We try to sell the entire design of our car and we pitch it to judges as if they're manufacturer's." Chris Hedden, Pratt junior, said. "So, what we have to do is talk about the market for the car, how we built the car, and we have to sell to them that this is a reasonable design."

Hallman at end of tough road
Wilson
Jared Soares/Kansan
Clutch shots have become a hallmark of Hallman's career, especially in her senior season. Even though fellow senior Crystal Kemp is the focus of Kansas' offense, it's Hallman that gets the ball in the clutch. Opponents often double-team Kemp in the paint leaving Hallman open on the wing. Hallman's ability to make a pass or get to the basket is why Henrickson gives the ball to her in critical situations.
Senior Guard Eric Hallman has ridden a roller coaster of emotions in her years at KU. She'll play her final regular-season game home Thursday against KSU.
"The fact that she puts the ball in my hands sets me up for shots that I know that I can make and

take every day in practice, that gives me a lot of confidence," Hallman said. "I want that pressure."
"I want that pressure."
The pressure on Hallman to come up with clutch baskets has never been greater than in conference play this season. With postseason hopes hanging in the balance, Hallman hit game-winning shots in both games against Iowa State this season.
sons ago and a suspension earlier this season.
For Hallman, those shots paled in comparison to a basket she made earlier in the season. Kansas trailed by three points with 26 seconds remaining against Wisconsin in December, when Hallman hit the game-tying shot.

KANSAN SENIOR SPORTSWRIVER
Editor's note: The Kansan will profile all three women's basketball seniors this week, leading up to Thursday's game against Kansas State.
For Erica Hallman, there's just something about the second half.
The second half is when she's been most comfortable all season, knocking down clutch shots
Whether it's the mounting pressure as the game winds down or the rush of adrenaline she feels as her shots fall, Hallman lives for the final 20 minutes.
"My brother always called me a second-half player," Hallman said. "I have struggled a lot this season in the first half, but I'm a shooter and I'm a scorer, and I got a lot of confidence in myself and Bonnie has a lot of confidence in me."
The best evidence of her love for the second half came Saturday against Missouri. Hallman scored 20 of her career-high 29 points in the second half of the overtime victory against the Tigers.
Confidence has been key for Hallman on and off the floor in her four years at Kansas. Though she's never lost her confidence, it was definitely shaken by a coaching change two sea-

Tonight in Allen Fieldhouse, Kansas seniors will play their final home game.
The seniors were part of former coach Roy Williams' next-to-last recruiting class at the University of Kansas, with the exception of guard Jeff Hawkins, who took a redshirt during the 2001-2002 season. The group of Hawkins, former forward Moulaye Niang, forward Christian Moody and guard Stephen Vinson were not the most talented players to ever don the crimson and blue. However, their hard work and hustle in practice and in game action have helped the Jayhawks put together a stellar four-year run.
During the seniors' time on campus and on the court, the Jayhawks have had tons of success. Together, the seniors have posted a record of 97-31, which includes a 49-13 mark in Big 12 games and an 8-3 record in the NCAA tournament. The Jayhawks reached the national championship game in 2003
the class' freshman season and won two Big 12 Conference titles. There is still a chance they could add a third conference crown this season.
SEE WILSON ON PAGE 3B
Moody emerged as a big contributor last season when forward Wayne Simien was injured halfway through the year. He played great basketball and was trusted to spell Simien upon his return. That flexibility helped the Jayhawks win a share of the conference title. CBS announcer Billy Packer went so far to say Moody was the greatest walk-on in the history of college basketball during a game at Kentucky, which Kansas won and Moody tallied a team-high 11 points and seven rebounds.
As for this year, Hawkins helped hold the team together. With the team foundering at 10-6 and questions about its tournament hope circulating, Hawkins turned in some stellar performances. Hawkins has always played suffocating defense, but the number that sticks out is his 38 percent three-point shooting on the season, which ranks second on the team. His five-for-five performance against Nebraska in January helped the Jayhawks start their season-high 10-game winning streak.

Emotions will touch Moody
BY RYAN COLIAIANNI
colaianni@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR SWITTERWRITER
He's been called the greatest walk-on of all-time by CBS' Billy Packer.
He has won the hearts of numerous Kansas basketball fans.
Tonight, he will play his final game at Allen Fieldhouse.
Christian Moody, the nice, personable guy from Asheville, N.C., arrived at Kansas in 2002 with little chance of making much of an impression.
He battled against former Jayhawks Nick Collison and Wayne Simien in practice, but it wasn't until coach Bill Self arrived that his minutes began to pick up. He started for nearly all of the 2004-05 season, which earned him a scholarship this season.
"There are some guys out there that pay their own way because they're promised something at the end," Self said. "When you talk about a guy that goes somewhere with no anticipation of being a scholarship guy or being a starter or a guy to impact a program, you'd have to put Christian right at the top of every list."
He single-handedly carried Kansas in a January 2005 game against Kentucky, when the Jayhawks were without the services of Simien. Moody scored 11 points, which led to Packer making the infamous statement.
"it's an honor for him to put those words together close to my name," Moody said.
This season, Moody's role has changed. Instead of seeing significant time on the court, Moody has mentored the young Jayhawk post players, specifically Julian Wright.
"One big reason why the freshmen have done better here and done so well in the league is because the seniors have accepted their roles and haven't fought it." Self said. "If they had fought it, our chemistry wouldn't be near as good as it."
Earlier in the season, Moody asked Self what he wanted his role to be with Wright.
"I said, your role is to teach him and to beat him. That is a tough combination." Self said.
Despite the lack of playing time from Moody, he said that he was still having fun because the team has been playing well.
"It has been really rewarding to see how far the young guys have come. Just watching them go from being to freshmen that have never played D-1 to playing as hard as they have been and as well as they have been, has been really great to see," Moody said.
Moody said he had a lot of people to thank when he gives his speech following the game against Colorado. Many of his family members will be in attendance, and he said he would try to keep his speech short but may have a difficult time not crying.
"It is going to be hard not to, just because this place means so much to me and it feels like I have been here a long time, but not long enough." Moody said. "It is going to be a fun night, but it will be an emotional night."
Joining Moody in the starting lineup tonight will be fellow seniors Jeff Hawkins and Stephen Vinson.
"I am excited for the chance to have all three of us to start because I don't think that has ever happened before." Moody said. "I know we are going to be fired up and full of energy."

European tour a success for Gault
MARK DENT
mdent@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Holly Gault learned a lot in Europe.
For the junior defender, a trip across the Atlantic for the Under 21 National Soccer Team gave her experience against top level competition, nine days of European adventure with her teammates and a newfound dislike for tea.
WILLOWVOLS
"They had at least 15 different types of tea over in England," Gault said. "It was served with every meal and was even in the corner of the stadium to drink during the soccer games."
Loathing of tea notwithstanding, Gault's European tour could best be called a success for her and the U-21 team.
Gault, who had trained with national teams in the past but had yet to travel for a tournament with them, left for Europe on Feb. 10. The team played against the Scotland National Team and the England U-21 National Team.
Against Scotland, the U.S. team won easily by the count of 3-1 but fell to the English team 2-1 on a field that Gault noted was wet and ravaged by bad weather, which made it easier for the home team's style of play.
Amanda Sellers/KANSAN
"The Europeans play a more direct game and try to attack right away," Gault said. "U.S. teams care more about holding possession and playing with a more pretty style."
Plenty of excitement has been generated by Gault herself from all of her accomplishments during her career at Kansas. Besides playing for the U-21 National Team, Gault has twice been named First-team All Big 12 and also a First-team All American, accolades that have earned respect from teammates and her coach.
Junior defender, Holly Gault recently returned from a week-long trip playing with the U.S. Under 21 National Team. Gault was one of a few selected Big 12 athletes to participate in the program.
"Being selected to the U-21 team is a great honor for her and a reward for all of her hard work," head coach Mark Francis said. "It's a reflection of the impact she's had on the program."
Gault said she wanted to continue playing for the U-21 team as long as she could. In July, the team will play
in the Nordic Cup, the top competition for players at that age level. Gault said she wanted to make that team and also would like to be part
of the full Women's U.S. National Team at some point.

Young Royal ready for new start
MLB
BY ALAN ESKEW
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SURPRISE, Ariz. — Instead of luck making him Kansas City's starting third baseman, Mark Teahen is counting on something a little more substantial this time around—experience and ability.
One of three players acquired in the trade of Carlos Beltran. Teahen was supposed to spend 2005 gaining much-needed seasoning in the minors.
But veteran Chris Truby got hurt in spring training, and fate played its hand, handing the job to a 22-year-old Teahen who really wasn't ready.
As a rushed-to-the-majors rookie, Teahen hit .246 with seven home runs and 55 RBIs and had an embarrassing 20 errors for a team that lost a major league-worst 106 games.
Now he's feeling altogether different. He's ready to take the job on merit.
This year is totally different
"I think I learned a lot throughout the year." Teahen said. "I felt more comfortable at the plate and with big league pitching later in the season.
than last year. I came in last year, my first big league camp, trying to figure things out. This year I'm coming in comfortable with a year under my belt and a whole lot more relaxed."
He said teammate Matt Stairs gave him some hints in the batting cage last season that freed up his swing and allowed him to get "more of my body" into it.
Teahen began 2005 slowly and was put on the disabled list in April with a bad back.
"Obviously, you can't swing fully if your back is hurting you," he said. "I'm sure it affected me. Once it felt good, I started feeling more comfortable and confident."
Teahen, a left-handed hitter, rejects criticism that he lacks power and tries too often to hit to the opposite field.
"When I got drafted, I really didn't pull the ball at all, so it was valid then," he said. "This is my fifth (professional) season I'm going into, and I've definitely progressed to where I'm hitting the ball to all fields. I feel confident driving the ball everywhere on the field, so I'm not really concerned about it. I know I
drive the ball the other way better than some guys, so I might get that label I can't pull the ball. I think I use the whole field."
Tehen said he believes he can become a 20-plus home run hitter in the majors.
"I try not to read a lot of things because it might say, 'He has no power potential.' But they don't know what I really work on at the field or what I do. It is not really that accurate, and I don't worry about it.
"I know where I was and how far I've come. I know just how much further I can go, so I'm not really worried about it. I know it will show up. I know the strides I made last year."
The Royals are optimistic Teahen will develop into a Gold Glove defender, but he committed 20 errors as a rookie and had a .947 fielding percentage, the worst in the American League for players who played a minimum of 100 games at third.
The only third baseman in the AL with more errors was Detroit's Brandon Inge, who had 152 more chances and three more errors than Teahen.

"I think she's grown to recognize that she's a play maker," Henrickson said. "Whether that's the ball will be in my hands to make a pass or to take a shot and be aggressive and get to the free-throw line."
Hallman's final season started on a sour note. Henrickson suspended her for the first two games for academic reasons.
"She knows how to get to me."
Hallman said the suspension wasn't because she was a poor student, but because of bad choices. The consequence from those actions was especially painful for Hallman.
"She knows how much I loved basketball and for somebody to take that away from me, it was heartbreaking," Hallman said. "She knows how to get to me."
When Hallman returned to the team, Henrickson noticed a change in her demeanor. Henrickson said she had a meeting with Hallman after
her first day back in practice because the usually-talkative Hallman had become silent.
"I think that was an adjustment for her because she was embarrassed of what she'd done," Henrickson said. "She understood the consequences, but around her teammates, she had let them down, and it was more difficult for her to be vocal."
As the team's vocal leader, she's come to demand more of herself and her teammates as she regained her confidence.
After spending her junior season at the point guard position, Hallman returned to her natural position on the wing for her senior season. The move was made after Henrickson brought a true point guard, freshman Ivana Catic, to the program.
"I was frustrated."
The move to the wing wasn't as smooth as Hallman had anticipated, though. After a year of having complete control of the offense, she felt more pressure when she got the ball on the wing.
"I feel like I have to do something and then every touch is then magnified because I don't have it as much as I did at the point," Hallman said.
Part of her readjustment to the wing was helping Catic become more comfortable as the point guard. Catic said having
"She came in brand new in that position and that's not her original position," Catic said. "I guess she had to do as much adjustment as I've had to do, coming from high school."
Hallman make similar adjustments help take the pressure of herself.
The women's basketball program was in turmoil during Hallman's sophomore season. Coach Marian Washington took a leave of absence midway through the 2002-2003 season and eventually retired at season's end. The change occurred in the midst of a fourthstraight losing season.
Hallman was so frustrated that season she said she considered leaving Kansas if Washington hadn't left.
The coaching change proved to be a pivotal moment in Hallman's career. Henrickson's impressive resume at Virginia
As the season moved on, Hallman began to embrace her new position. Without the pressure of having to run the offense and call out defensive assignments, Hallman said she's finally been able to relax on the floor.
Her relaxed, confident style has paid off. Hallman ranks 12th in the conference in scoring, averaging 14.7 points per game.
"A change for the best."
Tech was a key factor in Hallman and her teammates buying into the new system. In seven seasons in Blacksburg, Va., Henrickson won at least 20 games and made a postseason appearance each year.
"It was a change for the best," Hallman said. "Not to take anything away from Coach Washington, but Bonnie came in and had a mind-set from the beginning that she was going to get this program turned around."
If the game is close late, she wants the ball for a chance to beat Kansas State for the first time in her career.
While the coaching change was an adjustment, it wasn't the first time for Hallman. In high school in Covington Ky., Hallman changed coaches three times in four years. She said enduring the numerous changes in high school helped her adapt to the change at Kansas.
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 3B
"Once we had the change, I knew this is where I wanted to finish out."
After battling through a position change, new coaching and a suspension, Hallman knows the best way to close out her career at Kansas.
"It would be a great way to cap it off," Hallman said.

to knock on the door of greatness when he was a freshman. His value cannot be measured by statistics, but he was certainly an asset to coach Bill Self and his staff this season.
Wilson
To some fans, tonight's ceremonies probably won't be as emotional as in past years because they will lack the star power usually seen on Senior Night. Those fans need to keep in mind that its players like Hawkins, Moody, Niang and Vinson who make the stars better every day. For that, they deserve a proper Jayhawk send-off: a standing ovation from 16,300 grateful fans.
- Wilson is a Windsor, Mo., senior in journalism.
Gault
Niang provided a link between the young Jayhawks and those that came before them. He played with the likes of Nick Collison, Kirk Hinrich and Wayne Simien, and he knew what it took for Kansas
Vinson has proven to be the type of player every good team needs. He hustles, plays strong defense and occasionally adds some offense. He is a stabilizer, often called upon when the young guards are playing recklessly or need a wakeup call. Vinson was big early in the season, when the Jayhawks were still learning how to play together.

For Gault though, the highlight of the trip was getting to watch Westham United play in a premier league soccer game.
But the trip to Europe wasn't all business. The team took in some of the best sights in Europe with trips to Big Ben, Westminster Abbey and several castles in Scotland.
"The atmosphere was so cool," Gault said. "No matter who plays, soccer in Europe is huge and it was cool to see

that much excitement."

For now, Gault is focused on the spring season and her senior year next fall, when she knows her U-21 Team experience will help.

St. Louis Cardinals outfieldier Rick Ankiel stretches during Major League Baseball spring training in Jupiter, Fla.
Knee injury benches Ankiel
Ex-phenom pitcher out 10 to
14 days.
BY CHRIS TUNNO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
JUPITER, Fla. — Rick Ankiel, the former pitching phenom trying to make the St. Louis Cardinals as an outfielder, will miss 10 to 14 days of spring training after injuring his left knee, the team said Tuesday.
Ankiel suffered the injury during an intrasquad game Monday. He had been scheduled to start Tuesday's exhibition game
in. center field against Florida Atlantic University.
An MRI on Tuesday revealed a strained patella tendon.
"Yesterday he felt a little twinge in his knee," assistant team physician Robert Shivey said. "It was pretty well localized to the bottom end of his kneecap, in the patellar tendon."
"We're going to reevaluate him in 10 days, two weeks, and hopefully he'll be ready to go by then." Shivley said.
Ankiel, 26, had been impressive in spring workouts. He batted a combined .259 with 21 home runs and 75 RBIs in 85 games split between Double-A Springfield and Class A Quad Cities last season.
Ankiel was considered a can't-miss left-hander when the Cardinals chose him in the second round out of high school in the 1997 draft. His pitching career was derailed in the 2000 playoffs when he threw nine wild pitches in four postseason innings, and he never recovered.
He was always considered a very good hitter for a pitcher, with a .207 career average and two homers, a double, a triple and nine RBIs in 87 major league at-bats.
In Tuesday's game, the exhibition opener for St. Louis, Scott Spiezio's pinch-hit RBI double broke a 1-1 tie in the eighth, and Reid Gorecki followed with a three-run homer. It was part of a six-run inning as the Cardinals rallied to beat Florida Atlantic 6-1.
Florida Atlantic's lone run came in the seventh when Cardinals first baseman Chris Duncan missed a throw from pitcher Rich Randles. None of the Cardinals anticipated starters plaved in the game.
The Cardinals have no game Wednesday and play their first spring training game against a major league team Thursday, hosting the New York Mets.
The Cardinals announced that catcher Yadier Molina and outfieldler John Rodriguez have agreed to one-year contracts. Terms were not disclosed.

Sudden insights head your way. You could be surprised at how a different perspective helps you in your interpersonal interactions.
You have a definite way with words. Others might let you know they don't agree.
Tonight: Discussions could become interesting.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) **
You can be sure everyone is changing directions. Might you have put someone into a niche? If you are surprised by others' reactions or behavior, this way of thinking could be at the root.
Tonight: Get some extra R and R.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) *****
Someone you think you understand acts up in an unexpected manner. Your high energy and sense of direction help you focus and gather others together for the same cause.
Relax, and you will get pincas.
Tonight A serious talk brings results.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) *****
You might be surprised by gossip or news.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) **★**
Your steady but direct pace will make a difference. Though you would like to be a flash of lightning, your slow, complete approach is a winner. Lighten up. Not everything has to be a major deal.
Tonight: Take in a movie.
VIRIGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) *****
Others clearly know what they want, though you will see issues quite differently. Your job right now is not to convey your message but to act on it. Others respond far better to actions than words. Your intuition guides you with a powerful person.
Tonight: Sort through your invitations.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) **
A sudden surprise could cause you to re-group your work and personal life. Consider alternatives with an eye to change and creativity. Dig up specialists rather than go with the tried-and-true.
Tonight, Someone close takes a risk
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★ ★
To have imagination and get-up-and-go is good, but even better would be to apply it to various sectors of your life. Review opinions, especially if a close friend or partner shares that he or she doesn't agree.
*Tonight. Dinner for two.*
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) *****
Lighten up, and you will dance to a new
tune. What you might not realize is how
creative you can be in the face of hassles
and problems. A relationship will sizzle if
you let go and relax.
Tonight. Let someone talk about what he or
she wants.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) **★**
Make your priorities clear so that someone can respond. You could feel a bit off or crazed by others always wanting something from you. You might feel as if the well is running dry. Only you can stop this process:
*Tonight* *Toilet*.
FRIEND OR FAUX?
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★★
Express yourself, and others will hear you.
You have a way or style about you. Consider more of what you want from an immediate situation around you. Trust in your own resourcefulness; you will get much further.
Tonight: Compare notes and ideas with someone you respect.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) * ** Curb your spending, because a necessity might impact your decisions. Sometimes you don't see the whole picture. Could this be one of these times? Only you can decide. Be sensitive to your own energy levels. Tonight: The scene needs to be at home.

PGA
I wish golf were here,the weather is beautiful
BY DOUG FERGUSON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI — Say this much about the first two months of the PGA Tour season: At least the weather was nice.
The West Coast swing usually sets the tone for the rest of the season, or at least builds excitement as golf heads toward The Players Championship and the Masters. This one had about as much buzz as the United States against Britain for the bronze medal in curling.
Four of eight tournaments were decided by three shots or more, and the Match Play Championship in effect ended with six holes remaining. Nine players won nine tournaments, which is not unusual and certainly not a bad thing, but there were no back-nine duels among the top players.
Then again, the top five players competed against each other only once.
Tiger Woods has played only nine rounds on the PGA Tour this year. Ernie Els did not show up until Riviera, and didn't stick around more than one day at La Costa. Seven of the nine winners were ranked outside the top 25 when the season began,
the exceptions being Woods and David Toms.
Maybe the Florida swing couldn't get here fast enough.
Woods is the defending champion in the Ford Championship at Doral, where a year ago he rallied in a scintillating Sunday showdown against Phil Mickelson. Nine of the top 10 players in the world ranking are at the Blue Monster, and Ford didn't even have to pay them this year.
Woods already has won, in a playoff at the Buick Invitational. But even that conjures memories of a West Coast swing that fell flat. He won in somber fashion, after Jose Maria Olazabal missed a 4-foot par put. Woods last four wins worldwide have been in playoff, a trend that might age him.
Before moving forward here are a few trends that emerged from two months on the West Coast:
Best player: The guy atop the money list is Rory Sabbatini, with a victory and two second-place finishes. He also has made the most significant climb in the world ranking, starting the year at No. 71 and moving up to No. 18.
But the best player was Chad Campbell.
Lehman hasn't seriously threatened to win, but he had backdoor top 10s at Pebble Beach and Riviera, and advanced to the semifinals of the Accenture Match Play Championship. He is 10th in the Ryder Cup standings heading into the Florida Swing.
One reason Lehman as a playing-captain might be forgotten by the end of March is the new system that awards quadruple points this year, plus a 75-point bonus for winning. And those are just regular PGA Tour events.
Sabbatini had a chance to win only one tournament, which he did at Riviera. Campbell was tied for the lead going into the final round of the Sony Open before Toms beat him by five, he won the Bob Hope Classic, and he advanced to the quarterfinals of Match Play by beating Woods.
J. B. Holmes, the 23-yearold rookie, won in Phoenix and was 10th in the standings. Arron Oberholser won his
Biggest surprise: Jack Nicklaus was the last player to win a PGA Tour event during his tenure as Ryder Cup captain. Tom Lehman played as if he wants to be the next.
Biggest swing: Any week in the Ryder Cup standings.
first PGA Tour event at Pebble Beach and moved up to sixth. Chris DiMarco was third at the start of the year, and could be out of the top 10 by the end of the week.
Slow start: It seems ludicrous to raise questions about Phil Mickelson when he has finished in the top 10 at four of his first five tournaments. But Mickelson usually makes his mark on the West Coast swing, and this was only fourth time in his 14 full seasons on the PGA Tour that he didn't have a trophy upon arriving in Florida.
It might not be until after the British Open that Lehman has any idea how his team is shaping up, and whether he needs to worry about his putting or shirt sizes.
Vijay Singh now has gone 13 consecutive starts on the PGA Tour, his longest drought since 2002.
Big promise: After winning Q-school straight out of college, J.B. Holmes pounded the TPC of Scottsdale into submission to win the FBR Open by seven shots. The kid is long, no doubt, but his age (23) and pedigree (played on the Walker Cup team last year) make his potential tantalizing.

Tiger Woods acknowledges the applause after his birdie on the third hole in his second round match against Robert Allenby at the Accenture World Golf Championship in Carlsbad, Calif. Say this much about the first two months of the PGA Tour season: At least the weather was nice.

Seniors say farewell, hope for success
KU Tip-off
ATAGLANCL
Kansas needs to understand that Colorado will come into the game desperately needing a victory to improve its NCAA tournament hopes. The Jayhawks will look to rebound from their largest loss of the season, a 25-point defeat, to the Longhorns in Austin, Texas. Kansas struggled to score against Texas and will need to regain offensive firepower if it is going to defeat Colorado.
LAST TIME OUT
Kansas was crushed, 80-55 by Texas in its biggest game of the season on Feb. 25. Freshman guard and leading scorer Brandon Rush scored only three points on 1-8 shooting. Freshman forward Julian Wright was the lone bright spot for Kansas with his 18 points against the Texas.The Longhorns shot better than 35 percent in the game. They now have a one-game lead over Kansas in the Big 12 Conference standings.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Brandon Rush.The Kansas City, Mo., native has struggled in the past four games, averaging just under 10 points per game in that span. Rush did not play well in the first half the last time these two teams met in Boulder on Jan. 11, but played better in the second half to finish with 17 points. Rush needs to be more aggressive when he has the ball, and create points by driving to the basket. The Jayhawks need Rush to perform well down the stretch if they are going to make a run in the NCAA tournament.
5 QUICK FACTS
9.75 — The scoring average for Rush in the past four games.
19 — The scoring average for Wright in the past two games.
55.1 — The field goal percentage allowed by Kansas against Texas on Feb. 25.
36. 8 — The field goal percentage average allowed by Kansas this season — still first in the nation.
18. 1 - The assists per game for Kansas, which leads the Big 12.
LOOKING AHEAD
Kansas needs to win its final two games to have a chance of catching Texas for a regular season Big 12 title. The two victories would likely lock up at least a No. 2 seed in the Big 12 Tournament in Dallas. Kansas needs to build momentum leading into the Big 12 Tournament on March 9.
KEY TO VICTORY
Forget about the Texas game. Kansas players were embarrassed by their play against Texas. They need to move on with the season. Colorado will certainly give Kansas its best game in Allen Fieldhouse, while it hopes to get into the NCAA Tournament. If Kansas forgets about Texas and regains the solid play that produced the 10-game conference winning streak, it should pull out the victory.

Kansas
OFFENSE
The Kansas offense struggled against Texas scoring just 55 points. Kansas has been unable to take care of the basketball, averaging nearly 16 turnovers per game. Julian Wright has led the offense for the past two games, averaging 19 points per game.The Kansas post players have been increasing their production while the Kansas guards Brandon Rush, Mario Chalmers and Russell Robinson have struggled with scoring.
ku ku ku
DEFENSE
The Kansas defense played its worst game of the season against Texas, allowing the Longhorns to shoot 55.1 percent. Despite that, Kansas still leads the nation in field goal defense at 36.8 percent per game. Kansas must get back to its strong defensive play, forcing steals and leading to easy baskets.
DEFENSE
ku ku ku
Colorado
COACHES
Kansas coach Bill Self has coached his young team to become one of the surprise teams in the country this season. Self led Kansas on a ten game win streak before falling to Texas Saturday. Self is likely the front runner for Big 12 Conference coach of the year, if he can get his Jayhawks back on track following the big loss. Self needs to get his team focused on the next two games and forget about the loss to Texas.
ku ku ku
Defensively, Colorado is in the middle of the pack in most categories. The team did do a good job defending the three-point shots last game against Kansas, forcing it to shoot just 2-13. One thing the Buffaloes excel in on the defensive end is blocked shots. Colorado leads the conference in blocks per game with 5.8. Three players on the roster, Copeland, Andy Osborn and Julius Ashby all have over 20 blocks on the season. In the last game against Kansas, Colorado had 11 blocked shots. Copeland, Osborn and Ashby had two blocks apiece.
OFFENSE
JJJJJJ
In Colorado's last game against Kansas, its leading scorer, Richard Roby, recorded 15 points on 6-18 shooting. Roby is Colorado's most explosive offensive player averaging 17.8 points per game.The Buffaloes other main scoring threat is senior Chris Copeland. Copeland had 22 points last time Kansas and Colorado met. He was on from three-point distance, going 4-6 on the night. On the season, he is averaging 12.3 points per game and is shooting 38 percent from three-point range.
COACHING
J J J
Head coach Ricardo Patton is in his tenth season as head coach of Colorado. Colorado has an impressive record, 18-7, but have a poorly planned schedule and a bad RPI, which could prevent it from qualifying for the NCAA Basketball Tournament. Patton has taken a little heat for not scheduling a tougher non-conference schedule that would have enabled his team to have a higher RPI. He has a senior laden team this year, and if he hopes to make any real damage in the NCAA tournament, this will be his best shot for a couple more years. Especially with the possibility of Roby bolting for the NBA.

CU Tip-off
ALAGIANCI
Colorado comes into this game in a must-win scenario. Colorado is lacking a victory against a big-time program on the road. The Buffaloes currently sit at 18-7, and on ESPN.com are projected as a 12-seed for the NCAA Tournament. But it's no secret that a loss against Kansas would hurt its tournament status and knock it to the outside looking in. Colorado is 8-6 in Big 12 Conference play, with its biggest victory at home against Oklahoma.
LAST TIME OUT
Colorado protected its home court Saturday and defeated a struggling Missouri team 78-60. Colorado dominated inside and scored 44 of its points inside the paint. Colorado struggled with its main option, the three-point shot, going 3-22 on the night. The Buffalooes found themselves in an early hole, trailing 28-13, but were able to come back putting together a 21-4 run at the end of the first half and a 17-3 run in the second half.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Sophomore guard Richard Roby, The San Bernardino, Calif., native is one of the top players in the league. It has been numored he could jump to the NBA after this season. He had an average game last time Kansas and Colorado hooked up. He will need to have an excellent game in order for Colorado to upset Kansas this time around. Freshman guard Brandon Rush or sophomore guard Russell Robinson will probably guard Roby, who is a candidate for first team All Big 12.
5 QUICK TACTS
2-5 — Colorado's road conference record. The Buffalooes are not a road team and could struggle with the loud Allen Fieldhouse crowd.
39.5 — The three-point percentage of Roby this season. He ranks in the top five in the conference in three-point shots.
2.28 — The assist-to-turnover ratio for junior guard Marcus Hall
the best in the conference. 10 The number of seniors on the Colorado roster. Colorado is an experienced team that can handle a rowdy road environment like Kansas.
15. 64 - The average amount of offensive rebounds per game for Colorado, which leads the conference.
LOOKING AHEAD
A victory on the road would most likely solidify Colorado's NCAA Tournament chances. It would also bring its conference record to 9-6 and give the team a good chance at earning the No. 4 seed in the Big 12 Tournament and gaining a first-round bye. Colorado will end its season at home against Iowa State.
KEY TO VICTORY
Get Roby involved. A lot of things need to go right in order for Colorado to pull the upset, but the most important is Roby. He can not have an average night. He is going to have to be special in order for his team to have a shot. He is capable of having a 30-point outburst and that is vital for his team to have a chance.

Bill moves to floor

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Seniors Christian Moody, Jeff Hawkins and Stephen Vinson hold up their framed jerseys last night in Allen Fieldhouse in honor of their last home game of their college careers. Christian Moody, Jeff Hawkins, Stephen Vinson and Moulaye Niang were honored last night with flowers and cheers from family and fans.
It may have taken a rare two times to get the bill out of committee, but an attempt to repeal instate tuition for undocumented residents is now on its way to the House Floor.
way to the house.
By a 12-to-8 margin, the House Federal and State Affairs Committee passed the repeal bill after rejecting it two weeks ago. The re-vote was granted by committee chairman John Edmonds (R-Great Bend) after he was asked to consider the re-vote by House Speaker Doug Mays (R-Topeka).

"I was surprised, but not much," committee chairman Edmonds said about the outcome of the vote. Edmonds said there were a couple of members absent from the meeting who had voted against the repeal earlier. Ray Cox (R-Bonner Springs) was absent after notifying the committee earlier that he would miss the meeting. Broderick Henderson (D-Kansas City) also missed the meeting, though no explanation of his absence was available.
Debate on the bill could begin as early as this Friday, yet that hinges upon its introduction to the House.
Discussion for and against the repeal lasted roughly 40 minutes in the Old Supreme Court Room in the Capitol before a vote on the measure was finally called. The discussion became emotional at times.

KANSAN SENIOR SPORTWRITER
With one minute to play in his final game at Allen Fieldhouse, senior forward Christian Moody found himself in a place he had spent much of his playing career: on the floor battling for a loose ball with Colorado players.
Moody, along with fellow seniors Jeff Hawkins and Stephen Vinson, played his last game at Allen Fieldhouse and contributed to Kansas' 75-54 victory against Colorado.
All three players started the game and helped the team jump out to a 10-2 lead in the first five minutes. Vinson guarded Colorado's top scorer, Richard Roby, and didn't allow Roby to get a shot off over him in the first five minutes.
Hawkins contributed when he hit a three-point shot for the second basket of the game, and Moody contributed a rebound, a steal and an assist in his first five minutes.
Kansas coach Bill Self said after the game that there was no plan as to how long he would play the seniors in the first half, instead, the plan was to win the game.
"I thought Stephen did great," Self said. "Roby never got any rhythm. That was due in large part to Stephen. I told all the seniors after the game, you will remember this night because you impacted this game as much as anybody on our team."
After the game, all three players, along with fellow senior Moulage Niang, spoke to the crowd in the traditional senior night speeches.
Niang was the first to speak, and thanked former coach Roy Williams for giving him an initial shot at playing basketball at Kansas. Niang also thanked Self for keeping him around this year and still allowing him to be
a part of the team.
Niang's playing career at Kansas was cut short because of nagging back injuries. That did not stop Niang from being named Second Team Academic All-Big 12 this season.
Vinson was the next to speak after Niang. He started by telling the crowd that Self invoked a time limit on speeches this year.
"Coach told us to keep it to five minutes," Vinson said during his speech. "That's usually what I am on the court for, so I would get uncomfortable if I was on here for more."
Vinson also thanked Self for keeping him on the team after Williams left for North Carolina. He said he was unsure of his future at Kansas after the coaching change, but Self never thought about getting rid of him.
Hawkins was next, and started by apologizing to the crowd for the mistakes he had made during his five years at Kansas. He apologized to the fans, his family and the coaches for disappointing them.
He also spoke about his relationship with Self. Hawkins said the two of them had ups and downs along with left and rights and had been through it all. He thanked him for all
of his support.
Moody was the final senior to speak. He was also the first player to shed any tears. He became emotional when talking about Self and told a similar story to Vinson's about not being sure about his future when Self took over.
Many of Moody's family members and friends, along with Vinson's family and friends, donned red shirts with Moody and Vinson's name on the front with the phrase "walk on" on the back.

STUDENT SENATE
OZE
Half empty or half full?
Budget reserve is running low but major problems not likely
BY NICOLLE KELLEY
nkelley@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
At Wednesday night's full Senate meeting, members passed four new bills leaving $32,285, or about 26.95 percent, remaining of the unallocated budget the Senate had at the beginning of the 2005-2006 school year. The money in that account used to fund different programs for student organizations throughout campus.
That night the committee failed two bills of the semester, its first failures, leaving it in a more comfortable position for its remaining two cycles before the start of elections.
At the start of last week's Student Senate Finance meeting, committee members were warned that if all the legislation of the night passed, only 12 percent of this year's budget would be left.
Richard Zayas, Smith-
ville, Mo., junior and Student Senate treasurer, said the warning may have scared the committee members a little, but the most important thing was to not to run out of money before every group has had a chance to ask for some.
Both Andrew Payne, Garden City junior and finance committee chairman, and Zayas said they didn't expect any group that asked for money this late in the year to have any trouble getting it as long as they met all the guidelines for funding.
"We want to spend all our money." he said. "We just want to make sure we spend it on the right things."
"We kind of take into account that a lot of groups don't have big events till spring," Zayas said. "That's why we don't spend all our money first semester."

Three KU sports - baseball, football and women's basketball - did not meet the academic progress minimum requirement. Women's basketball will not be punished, because there were not enough players to gauge academic progress.
The NCAA gave guidelines for winning an appeal, and Paul Buskirk, associate athletics director, said he thought the University would win.
"We have a tremendous case," he said.
we have a tremendous case. If Kansas does not win, football and baseball will lose one scholarship for next season.
Kansas is not alone in baseball and football academic and eligibility woes. Football and baseball were problems nationally in regards to meeting the APR, Myles Brand, NCAA president said.
Brand said 40 percent of baseball, basketball and football teams are at risk for losing scholarships in the coming years. Brand also said a total of 99 teams were in violation of the APR minimum, 90 of which are men's sports.
Currently, the APR minimum standard is a score of 925. This roughly equals a 60 percent graduation rate.

BUSINESS
Restaurants deliver cheap charge
BY ALISSA BAUER
abauer@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Local businesses know all too well the slew of orders that bombard restaurants after the 2 a.m. mark, and the wide variety of locations delivery drivers are expected to hunt through to reach the doorstep at the end of the maze no matter what time of day.
While Lawrence gas stations are charging no less than $2.10 per gallon of gas, business managers say a small fee to get food from point A to point B is the most economical way to keep delivering.
The associated press
The money Morris refers to is the quarter-per-delivery change that Pizza Shuttle tacks on the end of each delivery order. Morris preferred the term "fuel surcharge" to
"The store doesn't get any of it," Jeff Morris, Pizza Shuttle general manager, said of his restaurant's delivery change policy. "The money goes right to the driver. People have been real fine about it."
delivery charge.
Pizza Shuttle, which relies on delivery orders for approximately 70 percent of its revenue, is similar to other delivery businesses in that it relies on its employees' vehicles to transport the pizza from house to house. Drivers are reimbursed for the normal wear and tear on their cars.
Lindy Robinson, assistant dean of design and hospitality at Johnson County Community College, said that whether businesses charge an actual fee to deliver, depends on how the corporate structure is set up within their budget.
She also said that it made sense that if restaurant employees used their own cars, businesses wouldn't charge to deliver. That's mainly because tips and minimum wage are make up for the loss in gas money.
Pita Pit owner Paul Peach said, "Eventually we hope to have our own cars. Even though I think a dollar delivery charge is pretty reasonable. We'll pretty much go anywhere."
CLARIFICATION
No matter the size of the order,
Peach said the $1 surcharge is what
Pita Pit charges customers regardless
of the amount of food.
The Pita Pit's delivery area stays between 23rd Street to Iowa Street and 6th Street to Connecticut Street, but Peach said that his drivers delivered anywhere when the rush was at a minimum. In fact, Peach said only about 30 percent of the restaurant's business were from delivery orders. Most of those orders were from students. The other orders are from customers such as the hospital and the Outhouse.
"Now we're starting to get the small businesses, too," Peach said. "Those are the businesses that will keep us alive when all the students are gone in the summer."
But for now, school is in full swing. Peach said the majority of his deliveries went towards students living on Iowa or Kentucky streets and greek housing.
Not every business, however,
requires customers to fork over
the money for gas. Pepperjax Grill,
947 New Hampshire St, boasts its free delivery service all over its windows and cars.
"We wanted to hit a little bigger audience and get more on campus," Pepperjax General Manager Jeremy Trehe said. "We don't raise prices or anything if that's what you mean. It's really more of an advertising thing than anything."
Robinson disagrees.
Trehe said the company bought its own delivery cars to be able to drive the heavily decorated Peperjax-mobiles as a sort of traveling billboard. The free delivery was a perk for customers, especially since free delivery was a rare amenity in Lawrence.
"Somehow they have to charge expenses or they wouldn't be in business," Robinson said. "It's free because I don't know what I'm naving."
"That's one of the reasons we decided to go with free delivery, because so few businesses in town do it." Trehe said.

Student campus fees increased by $4
— Nicole Kelley
Members of Student Senate passed three bills submitted by KU on Wheels at Wednesday night's meeting which increased to student campus fees by $4.The first bill passed split the transportation fee so SafeRide would draw a separate fee of its own so it would retain any left over money at the end of the year. The new separate transportation fee of $14 was then increased to $16 to compensate for higher gas prices and inflation.After the separation, the new SafeRide fee of $4 was increased to $6 to add dispatchers and phone lines to the program.

An article in Wednesday's The University Daily Kansan needs clarification.The article, "Ex-director of Spencer sues Shulenburger" incorrectly paraphrased a conversation with University Relations.The word "incriminating" was never used, and during the conversation it was explained to the reporter that once a suit was filed, the University would restrict public comments because the subject was a matter of litigation.The statement should not have been attributed to University Relations and was inaccurate.

Rep. Tom Burroughs (D-Kansas City), ranking minority member of the committee said he was appalled and embarrassed by the repeal attempt and added that it was immoral and racist, slightly raising his voice throughout his explanation as he looked on sternly at other members of the committee.
Rep. Lance Kinzer (R-Olathe), argued that while he respected the different sides of the issue, he asked about the other undocumented residents who couldn't afford the instate tuition rate.
"Should we allow those who can't attend at the in-state rate to attend school free of charge?" he asked the committee.
Kinzer also said that it was unfair for international students with student visas or an American native who lives on the "east side of State Line Road" and resides in Jackson County, Mo., to have to pay the higher, nonresident tuition rate.
Rep. Becky Hutchins (R-Holton), who proposed the bill, would not say one way or the other if she was satisfied with the bill passing out of committee, but that she was now looking forward to the discussion of it on the House Floor.
Hutchins thinks the incoming freshman representatives will have a big impact on whether or not the bill will pass out of the House. According to Cindy Roupe, director of public services at the State Library, there are 36 members in the House now who did not vote against the instate tuition bill in 2004. Furthermore, that particular measure passed by an 81 to 43 margin out of the House in 2004.
Melinda Lewis, director of
policy advocacy and research at El Centro in Kansas City, Kan., said she was not at all surprised by the result of the result and said this bill was going to the House Floor not as a result of political principles, but rather "political process."
As to the chances of the bill making it out of the House, Lewis said it depended on how many people would "toe the Speaker's line" along the way.
Burroughs said he was very disappointed by the bill making it out of committee and expected a mean-spirited and heated discussion on the House Floor.
Burroughs also said that if introducing the repeal bill was the right thing to do, it should be done on Friday, which is coincidently Hispanic Day on the Hill.

Budget
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Riley Dutton, Pittsburg sophomore and member of the finance committee, said the reason more of the budget had been spent this year compared to this time last year was because the major bills the committee expect to see every year came through earlier. He said it was好 to see the budget being used up because that meant more groups were getting funding, and Senate was doing a better job getting the word out.
Payne said he thought the committee could have done a better job at the beginning of the year giving out money, but overall it was in a decent position so that there would be no major problems at the end of the year.
"I think we'll be fine if we are a little cautious on giving out exorbitant amounts of money," Payne said.
Zayas said he felt good about where the budget stood at this point as well. He said this year the committee had more new groups come to it asking for money, which put more of a strain on the budget.

While all three seniors played their last game at Allen Fieldhouse, the night belonged to announcer Max Falkenstien. Falkenstien will retire following this season after 60 years as the announcer for Kansas football and basketball.
Falkenstien was honored at half time when he was given a chance to speak to the crowd and was joined on the court by members of his family and a group of former players.
Falkenstien's night was capped when, in the south end zone of the Fieldhouse, Kansas officials unveiled a banner next to Nick Col-

lison's jersey. Falkenstier's jersey number on the banner was 60.
Falkenstien will continue to announce the remainder of the games for Kansas this season and said the saddest part was that his last game would most likely be a defeat for Kansas, barring a miracle.
"I'll look back at this as one of my favorite nights here," Self said. "I was here when Max had his named dropped from the rafters."

BUSINESS
BY DEE-ANN DURBIN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DETROIT — For the first time, all the top picks in Consumer Reports' annual vehicle guide are made by Japanese automakers.
The Honda Civic is the magazine's top small sedan, while the Toyota Highlander Hybrid is the top mid-sized sport utility vehicle, according to results released Wednesday. Vehicles from Nissan Motor Co. and Subaru, a division of Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd., round out the top picks in 10 categories.
Asian brands also fared best in the magazine's survey of vehicle reliability. Toyota Motor Corp.'s Lexus brand was first, while Honda was second and the Toyota brand was third. Ford Motor Co.'s Mercury brand was the only domestic nameplate to crack the top ten.
Consumer Reports began its top picks list in 1997. It is based on road and track tests, evaluations of comfort, convenience and fuel economy, crash protection ratings from the government and insurance industry and readers' reliability rankings. The magazine said it recently tested more than 200 vehicles to come up with its top picks.
Consumer Reports' rankings are important to automakers, even though companies can't use the ratings in their advertising. Consumer Reports spokeswoman Lauren Hackett said the April auto issue is consistently the magazine's most popular, selling more than 300,000 copies at newsstands. That's twice as many copies as its second-most popular issue, the November electronics issue.
Honda Motor Co. had the most winners, snagging top picks in five of the ten categories. Besides the redesigned Civic, the Honda Accord was the top family sedan between $20,000 and $30,000 and the Acura TL was the upscale sedan between $30,000 and $40,000.
Toyota and Subaru each had two winners, including the Subaru Forester for small SUV and the Toyota Prius for "green car."
Nissan had one, the M35 luxury sedan, which the magazine called "an excellent balance of performance, comfort and handling."
The Honda Odyssey was the top minivan and the Honda Ridgeline, which is Honda's first entry in the pickup market, was the top pickup.
Reliability rankings are based on a survey of Consumer Reports subscribers who are asked if they have had serious problems with their vehicles in the past 12 months.

MIDDLETOWN, Ohio — AK Steel Holding Corp. — relying on hardball tactics used in other labor standoffs — operated its Middletown Works plant Wednesday with salaried and replacement workers after locking out nearly 2,700 union employees.
ankermcrow.com
Both sides said they want to negotiate a new deal to replace the one that expired at midnight Tuesday, but the company said the union must accept that the independent steel maker needs to cut labor costs to survive in the increasingly global industry. Union members, picketing outside plant gates, said they'd already made sacrifices, and that the company had been antagonistic by bringing in replacement workers.
He wouldn't comment on the replacement workers. He said the plant had a stockpile of steel to meet customer demands for an unspecified time.
"We are operating in a manner that we unfortunately must do, under the circumstances," AK Steel spokesman Alan McCoy said.
"I don't feel particularly overpaid," added Bob Hauser, a 29-year employee.
The union, whose members had recently voted overwhelmingly to authorize a strike, said it had offered to keep working under the old contract.
"This is not chest-thumping This is not done to intimidate," McCoy said. "It is about serving our customers."
He said most workers understand the competitive situation, worsened by some companies that went into bankruptcy and shed labor obligations. "It's rough. They are sweeping changes. It's a lot to ask at one shot."
The union's president estimated the company had "hundreds" of replacement workers from various sources, but didn't know details. Brian Daley, president of the Armco Employees Independent Federation, said in an interview that union members were frustrated and skepti-

sifications so that workers can handle more duties. AK Steel also wants to reduce the work force and says the union's last proposal would have increased AK Steel's employment costs by $150 million over the length of the three-year, two-month proposal.
The company said its last offer would give raises to most workers, freeze the existing pension plan, force workers to pick up a greater share of health care costs and streamline job clas-

Proposal creates more questions than answers
A bill currently in committee in the Kansas Legislature offers discounted tuition to out-of-state residents who agree to stay in Kansas for five years.
The hope of Rep. Tim Owens (R-Overland Park), who proposed the bill, is that it will keep these students in the state and spur economic development.
But the dismal truth is that the bill only poses questions and more questions. So many that the bill loses any chance of doing what it is intended to do.
Here are some of the unknowns at this time:
What happens if a graduate who agrees to the proposal gets a better job offer two years into his five-year agreement? What's to prevent him from leaving if the offer is too good to pass up?
What incentive does a graduate have to stay after he has already received his or her degree at the discounted costs?
Who enforces the deal? The state? The University?
How can the state or the University get its money back if a student backs out of the deal?
Who is going to monitor where these graduates are?
Do you need to live in Kansas or work in Kansas?
How will the proposed 250 students who get the deal be chosen?
What if a student leaves the University or drops out one year after accepting the deal?
Will it be competitive? Don't smart students get scholarships already?
Will the bill be a prize for
Issue: Legislation making out-of-state tuition cheaper for select students
Stance: The bill leaves too many questions unanswered.
second-best students?
Will financial aid and need determine who gets the deal?
The University has 8,143 non-residents, is 3 percent (250 out of 8,143) of that population going to make a difference?
When will students know if they get the deal? Will the decision be made before the time students choose a university to attend?
How much money would students save?
How much money would the University lose?
Only two Big 12 schools have lower non-resident tuition and fees than the University of Kansas. How will the deal draw more students?
How many of the graduates who get the deal would have staved in Kansas anyway?
What economic benefit will 250 graduates staying in Kansas have?
Most importantly, is a break in tuition a good enough reason to stay in Kansas?
The answer to these questions may be difficult, but the answer to a policy as crazy as this is easy. No.

I THINK WE NARROWLY AVERTED an ATTACK BY DELAYING the PORTS DEAL...
For happy Republicans, ignorance really is bliss
Republicans rejoice. Turns out you are happier than your Democratic counterparts.
This isn't exactly breaking news. The Pew Research Center started surveying American happiness in 1972. Every year, Republicans top Democrats in feelings of joy.
▼ COMMENTARY
In this year's statistics, 45 percent of Republicans described themselves as "very happy," while only 30 percent of Democrats said the same.
In Pew's quest for the source of happiness, they track age, education, wealth, race, religion, marital status, pet ownership and other factors.
while pondering these statistics, I was convinced the pollsters must have missed something that would explain the happiness discrepancy. Surely something explains the link between Republicans and bliss. Ah, of course — ignorance.
The Republican-dominated Kansas State Board of Education's unflinching resolve that religion belongs in the public classroom tops the year's list for ignorance encouragement. Evolution is a tough and coma Republican will rise to the cause. The Lawrence Journal World reported that Sen. Kay O'Connor (R-Olathe) opposed the bill because it intruded too far into family affairs. Clearly the children of Kansas will be happier if protected from the dangers of abstinence education.
I'm not just talking about your run of the mill 2+2=5 ignorance here. Republican politicians are protecting our happiness through a campaign to promote and maintain ignorance.
We only have to look to our own political backyard to find many fine examples of how the GOP protects all of us from dangerous knowledge.
I think this could be a bad decision as far as happiness goes. The creepy old lady in school was better than hearing my mother stutter through describing intercourse. Kansans might be happier if we left sexed in schools.
Speaking of O'Connor, this elected woman once made statements that she didn't support a woman's right to vote. Surely she would have been happier had The Kansas City Star never informed voters of her views. Another example of how knowledge hurts happiness.
Washington Republicans would probably prefer that we stay ignorant of a long list of subjects. I'm positive they think Americans would be happier if we had never heard of Jack Abramoff, port deals or secret government wiretaps.
COURTNEY FARR
opinion@kansan.com
Next year, when the folks at Pew look at American happiness, they should add a new question to the mix:
plicated subject. Saying that some magical force just created everything is easy. And we all know that the easy answer is the happy answer.
Last year, those same underenlightened Republicans deadlocked about how to address sexual education in school. The result is that sex ed isn't required teaching now.
On a scale of 1 to 10, how ignorant do you think you are?
I remember sex ed being a nightmare. A creepy sexagenarian talking about vaginas and penises was not how I liked to start my day. And the diagrams didn't look anything like the ones in my Penthouse magazine. Thanks to Republicans though, schools can divert money away from such depressing topics as HIV, teen pregnancy and strange, itchy rashes and put those funds to some better, happier use - like sports. Sports make kids happy. Maybe the board's next good idea will be to get rid of boring history classes in favor of more basketball courts. That would have made me happier as a kid.
Farr is a Scott City senior in journalism.
But alas, last week the unhappy Kansas Senate passed a bill ensuring that sex ed will continue to be required. But when ignorance is challenged,
Henrickson: protect our house
Dear Students,
I know how important home-court advantage is in any competition and you play a huge roll in the overall excitement at athletics events at Kansas. You bring energy and pride that can intimidate any team coming in to play the Iavhawks.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Help us protect our house on Senior Night. Tickets are free for students with your KUID. Please show up and force KSU to remember the lavhawks!
We're going to need some of that energy tonight when we play Kansas State. Our seniors have never beaten the Wildcats at home and we think tonight is the perfect night to start that tradition. We need you to help make
this happen. Be loud, be proud and support your team in the crimson and blue. We know how much pride Jayhawk fans have, and we are asking you to join us today at 7 p.m. in your arena — Allen Fieldhouse.
Rock Chalk Jayhawk!
FROM KANSAN.COM Non-smoker sympathy
Thank you for expressing these views in a publication. For a non-smoker who works on campus every day, there seems hope from your article. The emotional and monetary costs of smoking are unbelievable, yet smokers try to pass their habit as something enjoyable. It is their right to enjoy life, but it cannot deny another's right to life. Smoking outdoors does not guarantee the smoke will avoid non-smokers' lungs nearby, though I wish that were possible

Politicians should treat U.A.E. like proper ally
There is no good reason to punish the U.A.E. by torpeding its business deals in the United States. Even if it is managing the ports, after all, the same Coast Guard, Department of Homeland Security and longshoremen will be responsible for handling and inspecting cargo. If politicians want to get tough on national security, perhaps they should fix systematic weaknesses in our port security instead of promoting xenophobia and trying to hurt a U.S. ally.
KIRA SAMURAI
JOSHUA GOETTING opinion@kansan.com
▼ COMMENTARY
The recent attempt of a United Arab Emirates company to purchase management rights to several major U.S. ports has raised a lot of furor. But the issue isn't really about port security. It's not even close. Instead, it seems to be about politicians who are more focused on looking tough on national security issues than governing in a fair and productive way.
Take, for instance, Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.). She jumped on this deal as yet another indication of the incompetence of the Bush Administration and has been doing nothing short of grandstanding on the issue. She has even fully supported an extremely xenophobic piece of legislation purposed by Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) that would keep foreign owned companies from managing U.S. ports. This idea is so absurd that the notoriously liberal Los Angeles Times editorial page repudiated Boxer's stand. It said, "Memo to Boxer: 13 of the 14 container terminals at the ports of L.A. and Long Beach, the biggest port complex in the U.S., are run by foreign-owned companies."
So the issue here obviously isn't a foreign company managing ports. It must be the U.A.E.'s ties to terrorism. After all, two of the 9/11 hijackers were citizens of the country. But this criterion for not doing business with companies seems a little restrictive. For instance, Germany, where the cell that planned and carried out 9/11 did most of its work, is still allowed to do business with the United States. What about Britain, whose cities include shoe-bomber Richard Reid and the perpetrators of the London subway bombings? No one has complained that British companies should have to give up the right to manage ports here. If we didn't do business with any nation that has had al-Qaida funds flow through its banking systems, then the United States shouldn't be able to do business with itself.
The crux of the matter is whether the U.A.E. is a dependable ally. The record indicates that it is. Not only have they handed over terrorists sought by the United States in connection with the bombing of the USS Cole, but also they have allowed the United States to build military bases on its soil — bases that are currently used to train Iraqi soldiers and security forces.

JONATHAN LANDRUM JR.
ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER
DECATUR, Ga. — Hurricane Katrina brought grief and loss to Zelda Richard and her family. It even drove them from their New Orleans home. But after they evacuated to Georgia, their local church followed.
"We lost some of our friends, family and everything we cherished," Richard said. "Church was the one thing that made us feel connected and gave us a sense of home."
Greater St. Stephen Full Gospel Baptist Church was a major congregation in New Orleans with 20,000 members at three locations. The largest was destroyed in Katrina's floodwaters, while the others sustained minor damage.
With many in his flock not planning to move back, Bishop Paul Morton decided to come to them. He's opened a permanent church in suburban Atlanta to serve the spiritual needs of those who have found a new life hundreds of miles from their once-flooded homes.
"We wanted to be one church in two cities." Morton said.
Richard, who attended the church in New Orleans that was destroyed, said she's been revived by the camaraderie at the Decatur church - one of the main reasons why she is staying in Georgia.
The church's staff traveled with Morton in the days and weeks following Katrina to Baton Rouge, Houston, Dallas, Memphis and Atlanta to minister to evacuees. As his two remaining churches in New
"Every giving person helped out more than they'll ever know," said Raymond Steib, first assistant pastor of the ministry.
About 2,000 people packed the new church for its first service on Jan. 29, and hundreds more were turned away because there just wasn't enough room. In just four weeks, the church's registered membership grew to 1,000. They join a ministry with up to 5,000 members attending services again at Morton's two remaining churches in New Orleans, which reopened in November.
Orleans were being repaired, Morton preached at his brother James' church in Decatur, east of Atlanta.
"For us to have this church here, it was almost like a touch of home," she said. "It was almost like a baby finding their mother. It's the one thing I can
The six family members shared two oxygen masks as they endured the toxic atmosphere in New Orleans for two days before they were able to leave. When the masks began to malfunction, they started to lose hope. But Richard said they formed a circle and prayed.
Morton said he had no plans to start a new church outside New Orleans, but eventually felt compelled to lay down roots somewhere where he could help evacuates. Under the same name of his ministry in New Orleans, Greater St. Stephen Full Gospel Baptist Church opened its doors in an abandoned strip mall in Decatur.
hold on to and remember all the good things, instead of the bad."
Richard, 43, evacuated with her two teenage daughters, sister, niece and 85-year-old mother, Mary Watson. The family didn't leave because Watson couldn't travel under doctors orders.
"We thought we were going to die," said Richard, whose family was held up on the top floor of a New Orleans hotel during the flood. "The building was shaking and the water was up to the fourth floor. So we prayed and that brought us through."
"Two hurricanes in one lifetime is enough," she said.
Watson lived through Hurricane Betsy in 1965 but said the aftermath of Katrina was much more disturbing. The family traveled through nine hotels before finally landing the Atlanta area.
Now helping as accountant at the church, Richard said the experience resonated with her when Morton preached soon after the storm about the importance of faith in desperate situations: "If you lose hope, then you can't make it," he said.
even had a speeding ticket — well, no, I had one speeding ticket "Young said.
Young, 47, waived extradition Monday, but a dispatcher at the McMinn County jail said Young was still in custody Tuesday.

Whistle-blowing case dismissed by judge
WICHITA — A federal court has dismissed much of a whistle-blower lawsuit which claimed that commercial and military planes built by The Boeing Co. contain "bogus
parts," but kept the lawsuit alive on allegations that the company retaliated against the employees.
In an order made public Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Wesley Brown said he was dismissing parts of the case because the plaintiffs were
not specific enough in their allegations that Boeing defrauded the U.S. government.
But the judge allowed them to amend and refile the complaint within 15 days.

The love affair between ESPN and ACC basketball may
well be hitting a romantic crescendo this weekend.
This Saturday, the No. 1 Duke Blue Devils will play host to the No. 15 North Carolina Tar Heels in each team's regular season finale. In a first for the network, "ESPN U: Full Circle" as it has been dubbed, will feature not one, but 10 different media outlets covering one of the games.
In addition to the Dick Vitaleinfed coverage on ESPN, ESPN2 will show the game in its entirety from the "Above the Rim" camera which we are accustomed to seeing during breaks in the action. And ESPNU will show the game from cameras planted within the "Cameron Crazies" student section while seven other ESPN entities will feature pre- and post-game coverage of the game.
(My personal favorite piece of fluff will be a pre-game piece featuring former Vice Presidential candidate John Edwards playing H-O-R-S-E with a group of Duke players. People will not have cared this little about what John Edwards is doing since he ran for Vice President.)
But, kidding aside, there is something seriously wrong here. This is all emblematic of what is wrong with ESPN and how it covers college basketball. We've all heard the battle cry of the disenfranchised Big 12 fans: "ESPN has an East Coast bias."
That may be true. But if I were a die-hard Duke or UNC fan — and had the El Camino to prove it
If Mizzou was any good, would Kansas really want this much coverage of the Border War games each year? Sure, it'd be nice to have a little more coverage from the national media, but the chances of the games living up to an entire nation's expectations each time around are pretty slim.
▼ MEN'S BASKETBALL: 75-54
— I'd be pretty pissed at ESPN right now. I'd be mad because the network has transformed a rivalry from one based on mutual hatred between two schools into one based on money and over-exposure.

The players on the Kansas bench threw their arms in the air and jumped with excitement when they saw the score on the jumbotron.
Texas A&M defeated Texas and Kansas was tied again for first place in the Big 12 Conference.
"We had our eye on that score a little bit," senior guard Stephen Vinson said. "To see that we were in a tie for the Big 12, there was some excitement on the bench."
"It's where we want to be," Vinson said. "We want to be where we control our own destiny and that's where we are right now. We are just going to try to have a couple good practices and go try and get a ring."
Freshman guard Brandon Rush responded to the news by hugging his teammates with a big smile on his face. Just four days after their 25-point loss to the Longhorns, the Jayhawks were back in the exact same position they were before that defeat — looking to win their 49th conference championship.
"They got a great win and it gives us a chance," Self said. "Certainly we are in the game."
Kansas coach Bill Self got help from his former assistant and friend, Texas A&M coach Billy Gillispie.
It was probably the biggest reaction the Kansas players had the entire night. It happened just seconds following the 75-54 victory against Colorado on Wednesday night in Allen Fieldhouse.
Kansas forced 11 steals and held Colorado to just more than 18 percent in the first half. Colorado shot 31.3 percent for the game.
The Jahawks won with solid defense.
Colorado missed 22 of its first 23 shots to contribute to the 32-15 Kansas halftime lead.
"I know there were some shots that they missed that they should have made," Vinson said. "But at the same time, we were out their fighting and they didn't have many open looks."
"We played probably as good a defense the first 15 minutes as we've played all year." Self said.

Editor's note: This is the last of the women's basketball senior profiles, leading up to today's game against Kansas State. Earlier profiles are on Kansan.com.
Crystal Kemp will be the final senior recognized tonight — the last Jayhawk to say goodbye on Senior Night.
It is a fitting finish, the teams' star saved for last, but perhaps there are other motives — other reasons to prolong the inevitable departure.
Perhaps Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson wants to hang on to the first superstar player she coached at Kansas a little bit longer.

showher she will get the all-Big 12 selection she deserves, even though she plays at Kansas, an afterthought in the current world of women's college basketball.

Out to prove it's not Bramlage

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Kansas and Kansas State meet tonight at 7 in a nationally-televised game that will draw thousands of fans to the fieldhouse, decide the Wildcats' postseason fate and provide the Kansas seniors with one last chance to defeat their in-state rival.
It wouldn't be difficult to argue that this will be the biggest women's basketball game to be played at Allen Fieldhouse since it played host to the NCAA tournament in 1997.
In case that isn't enough,
there's also Kansas State senior Jessica McFarland's thoughts on coming to Lawrence to play.
1
"I'm not sure there's really any intimidation, since it's Bramlage East," McFarland said Sunday, in reference to the thousands of Wildcat fans who are expected to make the trip to Lawrence tonight. That comment quickly found its way onto Internet message boards.
McFarland told The Kansan on Tuesday that the statement wasn't an insult, but rather a jest with an old friend, Kansas forward Crystal Kemp.

The Franchise consistently used screens and a zone defense. The team was made of student managers from the Kansas men's and women's basketball teams.
During the second half, Phi Slamma Jamma cut the lead with an 8-0 run. The team was led by Grisell and Doug Seck.

Jayhawks earn Big 12 academic honors
Three Kansas women's basketball players were named to the Academic AllBig 12 first team Wednesday.
Senior forward Crystal Kemp received the honor for the third time, and sophomore forwards Taylor McIntosh and Jamie Boyd each made their first appearance.
The qualification to make the first team is a 3.2 or better grade point average in the current semester, a 3.0 or better GPA over the previous two semesters and the players must have participated in 60 percent of their team's games.
Kemp has been the team's star this season, averaging 19 points and eight rebounds per game. She was named to the Academic All-District team as well, making her eligible for the Academic All-America distinction.
Melntosh has started as the second forward in 25 of the 26 games this season, averaging 4.5 points and 5.1 rebounds per game.
Boyd comes off the bench to spell McIntosh. Boyd has averaged 1.6 points and 1.7 rebounds in the games she has played.
Players on the team are nominated by their schools. The Big 12 named 31 players to the first team and seven players to the second team. Michael Philline

Kemp
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
In the coming months, the team will have to craft a new identity for itself. But not tonight. Tonight is Crystal's night.
Mom knows best
The Jayhawks are going to win tonight; Janice Kemp said so.
Kemp's mother, Janice, is as much a part of the Jayhawk family as any of the players. Of her three children, Crystal is the youngest and was the only one still at home a few years ago when Janice developed Graves' disease, which left her body fragile and prone to seizures.
KANSAN FILE PHOTO
At the same time, she also underwent brain surgery for an aneurism, but doctors decided it was too dangerous to repair, and it is still there.

Crystal helped care for her mother during that time, and in her junior year of high school, she decided she would attend college at Kansas, close to home.
"I try to rest a couple days before the game so I can be able to attend, but sometimes I still can't," she said. "If I'm not there, I'm there in spirit."
Janice tries to make it to all of Crystal's home games, but even getting from her home in Topeka to the games in Lawrence is a struggle.
Senior forward Crystal Kemp takes a shot against UMKC Dec. 7, 2005, at Allen Fieldhouse. This season she has averaged 18.7 points per game, which isthe best in the Big 12 north.
there in person. For two hours she shakes off her disease and shouts support to the players, waving signs and occasionally chiding the officials.
"She'll tell me what happened, and who said what about what she was yelling," Crystal said with a laugh.
The other players notice her attendance, too, and call her "Mom" when greeting her with hugs after games.
"You have to give the other girls support, too, because they're not all from Topeka," Janice explained.
doesn't have a game to attend anymore? Perhaps that is why Crystal will be recognized last.
A leader by example
During high school, she worked in that role at a local community center and enjoyed the influence she had there. Plus, it gave her a chance to stay around the game of basketball.
Kemp will likely have the opportunity to play professionally when she is finished at Kansas, but she said at some point she would like to become a coach.
"I don't see my life without basketball, so I'd like to be a part of it as long as I can," she said.
She will travel to Boston for this year's Women's Final Four, where she will participate in an event put on by the Women's Basketball Coaches Association where she can meet and network with current coaches.
Her teammates agree, and said that her work ethic and personality contributed to that.
Henrickson said coaching would be a nice fit for her because of the influence she had in the locker room.
"You can lead without being the loudest voice, and I think Crystal can. And when she does decide to speak, people listen," Henrickson said. "I've always told Crystal she is a player of influence."
Ivana Catic said, "I wish in three years I could be like our seniors are — people that can be relied on both on the court and off the court."
"Off the court, she's just a great person. I love being around her," freshman guard
It also helps that Kemp understands the game. When Henrickson arrived at Kansas, Kemp and guard Erica Hallman were both juniors. She realized right away that the two had what she called a high "basketball IQ."
During practices, Henrickson said she would sometimes look at Crystal and grin, because they both saw the exact same thing.
What will Henrickson do without her best player and team leader? Perhaps this is why Crystal will be recognized last.
Coming out of high school, Kemp was a McDonald's All-American nominee. She arrived on a Kansas team that had just gone 0-16 in conference play, so she never had a chance to ease into the lineup. She just started plaving. A lot.
During those games, she has averaged 31.2 minutes on the court. Through it all, she has never had a major injury.
A mix of finesse and toughness
Of all the statistics, perhaps none are as impressive as these: Kemp has played in all 111 games since she arrived, and started in 107 of them.
"I'm very fortunate, and that's one of the things I've been blessed about," she said.
Kemp's style of play is a mix between the finesse of basketball and the physical toughness of football. Opposing teams will often use two defenders to guard Kemp because of her tendency to terrorize defenses when left one-on-one. That often means desperate defenders will resort to bumping, pushing or elbowing her in an attempt to move her.
When she gets the ball, she often finishes the play with a finesse hook shot that regularly finds the net. This season she is averaging 18.7 points per game, better than anyone else in the Big 12 north.
Unlike during previous seasons, her scoring has not decreased as the season has progressed. The wear-and-tear of 40-minute nights may have gotten to her in the past, but not this year.
"She's had a fantastic year in the league and I'd just be shocked if she didn't," Henrickson said. "I think she deserves it and I think she's earned it."
"It's my last go-round, I don't want to regret anything," she said.
After this season, she will likely be able to pursue professional basketball, although she said she wanted to play for only a few years at the most. She also will be in the running to pick up some Big 12 postseason honors
Who will Kansas put on posters when Crystal leaves? Who will be the star of the television commercial, the player who always does the postgame interview? Perhaps questions like
these are why Crystal will be recognized last.
Leaving her mark at Kansas
After the game, Janice will tell Crystal how she did, although it might be a little biased.
"I if I had no points and turned it over 40 times, she'll still say I played great." Crystal said.
That's not something either Kemp will have to worry about. Crystal has a chance to go out by playing postseason basketball for the first time in her college career, and though it's not the big tournament, that doesn't bother her.
"It would be nice if the NCAA wish fairy could grant us that one, but the NIT is good enough for me," she said.
The achievement will be a fitting end to a basketball career during which Crystal has matured not just on the court, but off it as well.
People who recognize Janice stop her and congratulate her on Crystal's success. Some of them have followed Crystal's career from her high school days in Topeka.
This is why Crystal Kemp will be introduced last tonight. Because for the last eight years, she has played basketball with grace and flair, and she has touched many people's lives along the way.
"It brings tears to my eyes," Janice said. "I smile and say, 'That's my Crystal.'"

Basketball Notes:
The 15 first-half points scored by Colorado were the team's fewest in a first half this season.
The victory was Kansas 23rd straight against Colorado in Allen Fieldhouse.
The victory gave Kansas its 21st victory of the season, marking the 17th straight year that Kansas has posted a 21-win season.
Rush's 13 points moved him into fifth place on Kansas' all-time freshman scoring list.
Kansas hit 11 three-point shots in the game, which tied a season high.
Sophomore forward Darnell Jackson did not play in the game. Self said afterward that Jackson had been battling the flu and had been hooked up to IVs for the past few days.

Kansas built a 10-2 lead from a three-pointer by senior Jeff Hawkins and two buckets from sonhomore forward Sasha Kaun.
Senior Stephen Vinson hit a three-point shot 10 minutes into the second half, much to the delight of family members in attendance.
Freshman forward Julian Wright helped extend the lead when the seniors left the game by feeding Rush with a behind-the-back pass that Rush laid in.
Colorado went 4-for-4 during the final two minutes of the second half after they began the half making just one of 23 attempts.
Wright tomahawked a dunk which gave Kansas a 17-point lead.
Sophomore guard Russell Robinson hit Wright with a no-look pass as Wright was streaking to the basket, to throw down a thunderous dunk.

"When we have them down, we just try to keep them down and not let them back in the game." freshman guard Mario Chalmers said. "They started making a little run, but we got re-focused and brought the lead back up."
But it seemed that every time Kansas established a lead close to 20 points, Colorado would respond with a run of its own in the second half.
The Buffaloes stayed in the game with solid play on the glass, pulling down 22 offensive rebounds. Kansas finally put together a run late in the game, which gave it a 21-point lead
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
Chalmers was vital to that focus. With Kansas up just eight, he hit a three-pointer with less than five minutes to go to put Kansas up 11. After that shot, Colorado wasn't able to get another run going. This sealed the victory and enabled Kansas to forget about the big loss at Texas on Feb. 25.
Kansas overcame poor free throw shooting to get its 12th conference victory. It shot only 10-of-21 from the charity stripe. Balanced scoring was the key for Kansas on senior night. Four players were in double figures and Chalmers led the team with 14 points.
Sophomore center CJ Giles continued his solid play scoring 11 points and pulling down eight rebounds in just 23 minutes. He was active on the defensive end and blocked two shots. Kansas will face Kansas State in a revenge game in Manhattan on Saturday.

Max Falkenstien could barely get to his headset. After stepping on the floor at 6:25 last night, it took him three minutes to walk 25 feet to his chair.
Fans did not want to let him go, in what was Falkenstien's last game in Allen Fieldhouse. Knowing they had to, they simply made "Thank you Max" the theme of the night.
The fans gave Falkenstein a 40—second ovation when he first entered the court, which led to a "Thank you Max" chant.

This kind of charm and effect earned Falkenstien a retired jersey hanging in the rafters, an area reserved for legendary players. The number 60 was retired to honor his 60 years on the sideline.
Thanking and publicly recognizing his friends, he gave the crowd a little motto on basketball and the value of friendship.
Joined by his family and former players at half, he received a bronze jayhawk statue along with the retired number. Only a few fans left before the ceremony, leaving most of the 13,600 fans on their feet. As Falkenstien's broadcast partner of 22 years, Bob Davis, put it, Falkenstien was KU's "true senior" honored on senior night. Falkenstien held his composeure during the ceremony. His 5-foot-8 frame stood straight up as he never shed a tear.
He did admit though. "As my good friend Larry Brown taught me to say, 'Gosh, this sure is special.'"

life," Falkenstien said.
"As I bid my swan song, go 'Hawks."
He ended his speech with something he said he cannot say on air, only to the Jayhawk nation.
Falkenstien autographed shirts and pictures and even donned a fan's KU robe for a picture.
Their sign said, "On the eighth day God created Max. And he's been on KU radio ever since." The trio felt it was the least they could do for their favorite radio personality.
Three fans even spelled "Max" out in body paint.
"Anyone who's been here 60 years deserves a painting," Erickson said.
David Schutter, Great Bend freshman, Jason Daley and Jim Frickson, Overland Park sophomores, were those die-hards.
Daley said Falkenstein deserved nothing less than a plaque. Perhaps a retired jersey hanging in the fieldhouse will do.

Team holds 'Giants Idol'
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Scottsdale, Ariz. — Barry Bonds wore a strapless dress and a blonde wig, trying to look like Paula Abdul in front of a small gathering of fans and teammates, as the San Francisco Giants staged their version of "American Idol."
Bonds entertained and delighted everyone watching the mock contest at Giants camp in Scottsdale, Ariz., on Tuesday as young players had to sing in front of the judges.
"I'll never tell my wife to hurry up any more," Bonds said. "Because it took me forever to get ready. I'll never do that again. I couldn't get my hair right. There were a lot things I went through during the 30 minutes I was getting ready."
Giants Idol was the brainchild of Mark Sweeney, who signed with the team as a free agent in the offseason. He decided the "Idol" competition would raise some money and help spark unity after last year's disappointing season when the Giants finished under .500 for the first time since 1996.
"It was up in the air whether Barry would do this." Sweeney said. "We asked him this morning. It was almost embarrassing to have him do it."
The event raised $337 from fans that will be matched by the Giants organization and donated to the Giants Community Fund.
"It was pretty cool," said Omar Vizquel, who acted as host Ryan Seacrest. "I just thought he was going to be a judge. As long as you have fun you connect with each other."
At Vero Beach, Fla., Jeff Kent took formal batting practice for the first time this spring after having surgery on his right wrist Jan. 10 to remove scar tissue and repair a ligament. Before Tuesday, the Los Angeles Dodgers' second baseman had been hitting off a tee or with the ball being tossed from a short distance.
"We've played together for a long time," McFarland said. "I was just referring to her on that one."

It's certainly not unreasonable for Wildcat fans to make the claim: Kansas State has won nine in a row against Kansas, and as recently as two years ago, Allen Fieldhouse became engulfed in a sea of purple when the two teams met. In 2002, a crowd of 12,000 consisted almost entirely of Wildcat fans.
Times have changed, though, and the Jayhawk seniors would like nothing more than for their final home game to be the one when they finally beat Kansas State.
"Senior day is motivation in

itself," senior guard Erica Hallman said. "But that's motivation as well because it's kind of disrespectful."
During the Manhattan game, Wildcat students were out in full force, filling up the section behind the Jayhawk bench and yelling every time coach Bonnie Henrickson tried to talk to the players.
The Jayhawks will need all the help they can get, as the Wildcats will have plenty to play for. Sitting on a 7-8 conference
record, the team has to win this game to preserve its chances of making the NCAA tournament.
"We definitely need to win for that," McFarland said. "Especially since it's the last one, you want to take a win into the conference tournament."
After the game Kansas will bid farewell to senior guards Erica Hallman and Kaylee Brown and senior forward Crystal Kemp.
The three seniors have been responsible for 72 percent of Kansas's scoring during conference play, and have formed the emotional core of the team. They have speculated during the past few weeks which player will be the first to cry during the festivities.
"I think Erica will probably
be the first one to shed a few tears," Kemp said. "But we'll probably join her after we see the first person break."
Tonight's game will be played with passion on both sides, and while Kansas also has a rivalry with Missouri, Kansas State has only one target each year.
"Everybody at K-State, some of them may not know a lot about women's basketball, but they are always asking, 'Did you beat KU?'" McFarland said. "It's always good to say yes."
That's what she's been able to say during her entire college career. Tonight the Jayhawk seniors have one last chance to answer back.

Famers. And with apologies to the Dean Dome, every second game they play against each other is in the only venue in the nation that can hold a candle to Allen Fieldhouse in terms of the fans.
But at what point is it too much? According to the ESPN.com, ESPN360 is planning on running "a dedicated North Carolina-Duke channel featuring condensed versions of the top five games between the two
teams, a music video retrospective on the two teams, the full-length version of SportsCenter's Sunday Conversation with Coach K, plus a condensed version of the March 4 game."
How can this game — a regular season game at that — possibly live up to all of that? J.J. Redick could give birth during this game and I'd still be disappointed.
Look, the best things about college basketball are the moments it gives us. Bryce Drew

Labonte to drive Petty's famed No.43
CHRIS JENKINS
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Kyle Petty's improbable recruiting effort finally paid off.
For three years, Petty nagged Bobby Labonte to come drive the family team's famed No.43 car.
He'd stop Labonte on the streets of their subdivision in Trinity, N.C., where Petty jogs and Labonte rides his bicycle. They'd talk on airplane rides. One day, they ran into each other getting a bite to eat at Panera.
Petty delivered the same
plea every time: "Come drive that 43, man."
Petty was joking — at least he thought he was. Why would Labonte, the 2000 series champion, leave an elite team such as Joe Gibbs Racing for a once-dominant team that has fallen on two decades worth of hard times?
Turns out, the chance to help turn around Petty Enterprises proved more attractive to Labonte than Petty anticipated.
Todd Parrott, who won a championship with Dale Jarrett in 1999, will be Labonte's crew chief.
"He had people throwing money at him, fortune and fame and houses and cars and all kinds of stuff," Petty said.
"But in the end, this is where he chose to come."
Labonte's move is the latest and most high-profile step in a recent talent infusion that has the Petty people talking turnaround.
"In a short period of time, morale really went through the ceiling," Petty said.
team last season.
Robbie Loomis, who left the Pettys to become Jeff Gordon's crew chief in 2000, has returned to become the team's executive vice president.
Labonte and Petty both were involved in crashes in the season-opening Daytona 500, but Labonte showed the team's potential in the middle of the race by climbing into the top 10 and staying there, weaving his way to as high as sixth.
Asked to list reasonable goals for the season, Petty talks about trying to develop chemistry and becoming more consistent in the first half, then going after steady top-five and top-10 finishes in the second half.
They join Paul Andrews, another championship-winning crew chief, who came to the

'Hawks seniors face last chance to beat'Cats
KU Tip-off
SEASON IN REVIEW
After starting the season 12-0, the Jayhawks were able to win only two of their next 11 games. That streak was broken when the team won its first road game, a 57-56 overtime victory, at Iowa State. After a victory against Missouri, Kansas has to feel pretty good about its chances of making the Women's National Invitational Tournament, and beating Kansas State would all but guarantee a selection.
LAST TIME OUT
It took overtime to settle the Border Showdown, but Kansas prevailed over Missouri in an 81-71 thriller Feb. 25. A crowd of 5,467 was on hand to watch the game, which was the second largest of the season in Allen Fieldhouse. Senior guard Erica Hallman led the Jayhawks in scoring with 29, followed by Kemp's 25. The Tigers stayed in the game by the strength of their free-throw shooting; the team converted on 21-consecutive attempts, tying a school record.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Forwards not named Crystal Kemp. Sophomore Taylor McIntosh and freshman Marija Zinic will share minutes opposite Kemp in the paint. Opposing defenses have a tendency to double-team Kemp, leaving these two with open shots. They also will have to contribute on the defensive end, where they sometimes have open looks at rebounds because of all the attention placed on Kemp.
1 - The Jayhawks' ranking in the Big 12 in three-point shooting percentage.
5. QUICK FACTS
12 — The Jayhawks' ranking in the Big 12 in three-point shooting defense.
.535 — The RPI rating of Kansas, which is the 98th best in the country, according to ESPN.The Jayhawks were hurt by a weak non-conference schedule.
0 - The number of Big 12 North players who have a better scoring average than Kemp's 19 points per game.
LOOKING AHEAD
6-0  Kansas' record when the final margin is five points or less.
With a WNIT berth all but guaranteed, Kansas will look to establish momentum going into the Big 12 Tournament in Dallas next week.
Perhaps the biggest implications are for future years. If the Jayhawks can win, it will help Henrickson compete for top recruits in the state.
KEY TO VICTORY
It's now or never for the Jayhawk seniors, who face their last, and perhaps best, chance to defeat the Wildcats. The game will have the feel of the postseason, with an equal number of fans supporting both teams, the possibility of this being the last game of the season and national television coverage. The Wildcats know what it is like to play big games, and the Jayhawks can't get overwhelmed early.
Kansas vs. Kansas State, CSTV 7 tonight, Allen Fieldhouse
Kansas
OFFENSE
The question mark here is how long it will take senior guard Erica Hallman to find her shooting touch. Hallman is responsible for most of the team's scoring from behind the arc, but she is alternately hot and cold and rarely in-between. She started out cold against Missouri on Sunday before Kansas coach Bonnie Hendrickson told her to follow through more on her shot. After that point, she started hitting her shots and had a career-high 29 points in the victory.
Kansas also will have to balance playing time between junior guard Sharita Smith and freshman guard Ivana Catic. Smith has been a defensive catalyst for the team, proving she can match up with anybody in the league. Catic has been the team's only true point guard who has seen much time this season. If Kansas State starts scoring, look for Smith to get the minutes, in which case Hallman will have to pick up the slack on the offensive end.
DEFENSE
KU KU
Back in January, the Jayhawks lost a 69-63 game to the Wildcats because they had no answer for freshman forward Marlies Gipson. Gipson is a better player now than she was during that game, but Kansas shouldn't lose sleep thinking about guarding her. Senior forward Crystal Kemp has been helped on defense in recent games by sophomore forward Taylor McIntosh and freshman forward Marija Zinic.
The Wildcats don't pose any challenge for Smith beyond what she's already faced. In the past month Smith has shut down three of the Big 12's best players: Nebraska's Kierra Hardy, Iowa State's Lyndsey Medders and Missouri's LaToya Bond.
KU KU
COACHING
Henrickson has presided over the high of a 12-0 start and the low of winning only three of the first 11 conference games. She finally has room to work with the bench, as Smith and freshman forward Marija Zinic are able to relieve the starters without any drop in
quality of play. Smith has helped fill the void that was created when junior guard Shaquina Mosley failed to develop into the type of player Henrickson was looking for.
The coaching staff has installed a new offense that allows Smith to play to the shooting strengths of Hallman and senior guard Kaylee Brown. The team will no doubt be watching video of the loss to Kansas State earlier in the season to see what can be improved on.
KU KU KU KU
Michael Phillips
Kansas State
OFFENSE
Kansas State ranks near the middle of the Big 12 conference in most offensive statistics. The game could be won at the three-point line, with both teams in the top four in the conference in three-point shooting percentage. If Kansas State goes cold from behind the arc, it will be up to its young forwards to battle in the paint against an improving Kansas defense. While the Wildcats' young players are improving, the Jayhawks' experience in the paint could be too much to handle.
CCC
DEFENSE
Kansas State nearly blew a 17-point lead late in the game at Bramlage Coliseum earlier this season. Kansas was able to cut the lead down to two points. The Jayhawks proved they could put together a run against the Wildcats' defense.The key to stopping Kansas is not to control senior forward Crystal Kemp, but to stop the guards. Kansas' offense is most effective with guards driving through the lane and kicking back out to the perimeter.A zone defense, popular against Kemp, will struggle if Kansas' guards are knocking down shots.
C
COACHING
It's not quite a "decade of dominance," as Kansas State fans like to claim their football team has against Kansas, but Wildcats coach Deb Patterson has accumulated an impressive record against the Jayhawks — especially the past four seasons. Patterson is also 9-0 against Kansas in the past four seasons. She will desperately need a 10th straight victory if Kansas State hopes to continue its streak of four NCAA Tournaments in a row.The program she's built in Manhattan is the type of program Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson hopes to duplicate in Lawrence. Henrickson and her Jayhawks could be well on their way to doing just that with a victory tonight.

KSU Tip-off
SEASON IN REVIEW
Kansas State has dropped five of its last eight games since defeating Kansas on Jan. 25. This recent stretch adds additional importance to tonight's Sunflower Showdown. With a team built mainly around freshmen and sophomores, Kansas State was expected to have a rebuilding season.
LAST TIME OUT
Kansas State dropped its best chance to secure a bid in the NCAA Tournament, losing to No. 10 Baylor 79-70 at Bramlage Coliseum on Feb. 25.The Wildcats sealed their defeat by scoring only five baskets in the final 11 minutes of the game.Junior guard Twiggy McIntyre led Kansas State with 20 points.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Marlies Gipson. The
Maries Gipson. The freshmen forward scored a team-high 16 points for the Wildcats in the earlier meeting this season. On the season, Gipson shoots nearly 50 percent from the field. She is one of three forwards that Kansas State starts and could possibly be matched up with a Kansas guard on several possessions.
5 QUICK FACTS
9 The number of consecutive victories for Kansas State against Kansas in the last four seasons.
4 The number of consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances for the Wildcats under coach Deb Patterson. 6.81 The average amount of three-point field goals made per game by Kansas State.
34 The total points scored by Kansas State's forwards in the game earlier in the season.
LOOKING AHEAD
The Windsor NCAA tournament streak could end this year. If Kansas State loses tonight, it would drop its Big 12 Conference record to 7-9, a mark that won't sit well with the tournament selection committee. The team has dropped two straight games to top 10 teams and passed up a chance to get a signature victory for its tournament resume. With a loss tonight, these two teams just might meet up again in the Women's National Invitational Tournament.
KEY TO VICTORY
Kansas State must find a way to counter the emotion Kansas players will be playing with on Senior Night. In the biggest game in the rivalry in nearly five years, the key for the Wildcats will be to strike first and get the thousands of fans in purple who flocked to Allen Fieldhouse behind them. Kansas has a knack for winning close games this season, especially at home. If the score is close late in the game, Kansas State's purple reign could end tonight.

Snyder encouraged to resign one year ago
ALAN SCHER ZAGIER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Former Missouri basketball coach Quin Snyder was first encouraged by athletics director Mike Alden to consider a midseason resignation more than a year ago, according to notes from Chancellor Brady Deaton's recently concluded internal investigation.
And before what would become Snyder's final season at Missouri, Deaton and Alden in October rejected the coach's request for a public show of support and a commitment to honor his contract through 2008, Deaton's Feb. 21 notes show.
The Associated Press obtained the notes Wednesday through a public records request.
What Deaton's investigation doesn't clarify, though, is the role played by Tiger broadcaster Gary Link, a special assistant to Alden whom Snyder said delivered an ultimatum to the coach on Feb. 9, hours after Snyder told reporters he would finish out the season.
would not "divulge the contents" of his conversations with Snyder and Alden, citing confidentiality. However, Link did acknowledge serving as an intermediary between his boss and Snyder, with whom Alden acknowledged having a "close but tense" relationship.
Link told Deaton that he
"Quin, the team is not looking good," Link told Snyder, according to Deaton's notes. "We know how the book is going to end. The question is how do we write the last chapter."
According to Link and Alden, Snyder replied: "I think I
Snyder's job security was in jeopardy as early as Feb. 8, 2005, when Alden said publicly he would retain the coach through the 2005-06 season. At the same time, Alden told Snyder he needed a winning season, a finish in the top half of the Big 12 Conference and an NCAA tournament appearance to avoid losing his job, Deaton's report said.
am better off resigning." He left with six regular season games remaining.
Alden also suggested then that Snyder might want to resign
In return, "Quin was told that we would do the best we could to see that he would not be hurt financially."
in the middle of this year "if he felt that the season were going south." Deaton reported.
Snyder officially left Missouri on Feb. 14 with a seven-year record of 126-91 that included NCAA tournament appearances his first four years. He received a $574,000 contract buyout that was approved by university curators. His total compensation package at Missouri, including incentives, was worth more than
$1 million a season.
The chancellor's report describes a second conversation between Link and Snyder on Feb. 9, this time after practice. Joined by his attorney, Wally Bley, Snyder said he planned to resign but had not worked out the details.
Only then was Alden told of Snyder's intention, Deaton reported. Alden then placed three calls to Snyder that were not returned.
Alden told Deaton that he and Snyder spoke "periodically" throughout the season.

EDITOR'S NOTE
I've never been much of a nightowl. A lifelong morning person, I am a nerd in the college realm because I'm at my sharpest between 7 and 9 a.m. and seldom coherent after 1 or 2 a.m.I recently hit rock-bottom when my night-life queen roommate, an ultra-hip bartender, came home as I was getting up, around 6 a.m. I waited patiently to take a shower while she took out her contacts."Have you been drinking?" she asked, astonished. "No.I'm just...awake."I said, not
wanting to explain that I was eager to get in some reading while my brain was bright. I shuddered, thinking how ghastly I would feel going to bed at 6.
So I tip my hat to the people in Malina Osborne's article, p. 10, who defy their natural instincts, circadian rhythms and socialization to work at night. Not only do they not sleep, but they perform with a lot of responsibility — breaking up fights, calling ambulances and sniffing for pot.
It's these nocturnal creatures, from UPS loaders to security workers to dorm hall desks, who make sure the world's safe and orderly for early birds like me.
Photographs and captions in last week's laylay need clarification, in the article "No stability: Live on the street," the captions were searching for objects on the cover of laylay were reported to have addictions, in the photo page 10, the subjects were searching for objects to sit. They were searching for things that they would be going to clean a trailer that they had permission to live in, in the photo page 10, only 13 individuals Washington floorground residents.

WHEN FOOD BECOMES THE ENEMY
by Carrie Hillard
FOOD Allergic
KIT LEFFLER
The stress of living with food allergies
At the tender age of four, Nathan George, Topeka freshman, vividly remembers vomiting, being covered in itchy hives and having extreme difficulty breathing — all because he ate a cookie that contained nuts
"It was a horrible experience," George says.
A trip to the doctor would change the way he ate for the rest of his life. George, like many young children, was diagnosed with an allergy to tree nuts.
Although an individual can be allergic to any food.
Although some people can outgrow their allergies, peanuts, nuts, fish and shellfish are often life-long allergies.
A food allergy is defined as an immune system-mediated adverse reaction to foods. Food intolerances cause a variety of reactions and resemble food allergies.
Food allergies are serious. For some people, tasting or even touching a certain food can trigger a severe and potentially life-threatening reaction
eight foods account for 90 percent of all food-allergic reactions: milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts (like walnuts and cashews), fish, shellfish, soy and wheat.
but they do not have an immune system basis, Nowak-Wegrzyn says. For example, lactose intolerance is not a food allergy because the intolerance is due to the lack of an enzyme that digests milk. Lactose
Food allergies affect about 6 to 8 percent of infants and young children and 3.5 to 4 percent of adults, says Anna Nowak-Wegrzyn, M.D., assistant professor of pediatrics at Mount Sinai School of Medicine.
Influenge reactions Food allergies are serious. For some people, tasting or even touching a certain food can trigger a severe and potentially life-
Allergic reactions
intolerance causes abdominal pain, bloating and diarrhea, which are common symptoms of many food allergies.
threatening reaction. Paul Fernkopf, Topeka sophomore, found out he was allergic to peanuts when he ate some and broke out in hives in the fifth grade
Even his girlfriend has to be careful of what she eats, Fernkopf says. "If I were to kiss her after she ate a food with peanuts or peanut oil, the remnants in her mouth could cause me to have a severe allergic reaction," he says.
Food normally doesn't trigger a response from a person's immune system. But for those who suffer from food allergies, two parts of the immune system are involved, according to researchers at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease.
The first is the production of the antibody called immunoglobulin E (IgE) that circulates in the blood, and the second is a type of cell called a mast cell. People usually inherit the ability to form IgE against food allergens, but without it, food allergens survive to enter the bloodstream and travel to target organs, causing allergic reactions throughout the body.
Treatment and diet
Food allergic reactions account for an estimated 115 to 200 deaths each year in the U.S. and about 30,000 people are treated for allergic reactions in hospitals, says Robert Pacenza, executive director of the non-profit Food Allergy Initiative. Reaction protocol dictates that the allergic person goes to the hospital — but some opt to handle the reaction at home.
There is no cure for food allergies. Strict avoidance of the offending food is the only way to avoid a reaction. Benedryl and epinephrine can ward off less serious reactions. Epinephrine, or 'adrenaline,' is available by prescription and administered through a self-injected device. Fernkopf says he carries an EpiPen that he is supposed to take if he accidentally eats peanuts or something cooked in peanut oil to help his chances, but it can't prevent death.
There is a specific diet doctors have used to aid patients with food allergies.
says Hillary Kass, Nutrition Educator at the Community Mercantile, 901 Iowa.
The rotation diet is when the offending food is completely eliminated from the diet for a period of time (usually two to three weeks), and then, depending on the severity of the allergy, some people can reintroduce it back into their diet. The person must then wait four days before eating that particular food again. This process can continue as long as no reaction occurs. Some practitioners say everyone should eat this way.
"We are all predisposed to developing allergies and the over-consumption of a particular food can bring the allergy out, but if you are on a rotation diet, you won't have as much opportunity for the food allergy to develop,"Kass says.
Reading the labels
Reading the labels
On January 1,2006,the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection
Law became effective. Before this law, manufacturers used to be able to use
COMMON ALLERGIC REACTIONS TO FOOD
→a tingling sensation in the mouth
→swelling of the tongue and throat
→rash
→eczema
→hives and swelling
→vomiting
→abdominal cramps
→diarrhea
→wheezing
→difficulty breathing
→drop in blood pressure
→loss of consciousness
→death (very rarely)
Symptoms typically appear within minutes to two hours after a person has eaten the food to which he or she is allergic.
Source:American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology
the term 'natural flavors' even when the product contained major allergens.
This caused major problems for food-allergic consumers, who would have to call the manufacturer to confirm whether or not an allergen was present. The bill now requires food manufacturers to clearly state if a product contains any of the eight major food allergens.
Since the law was passed, the FDA has done a good job in explaining and interpreting codes to food manufacturers, which will help foodallergen sufferers in the long run, Pacenza says.
"Luckily I don't really care for nuts anyways,sol don't feel
like I'm missing out," George says. "But it would be nice to have the option to eat what I want without having to read labels and worry what it's made of."
BITE 101
"We have pitas to make, people." So says Phillip Peck, co-owner of The Pita Pit to his employees. Indeed. The Pita Pit satisfies the late-night crowd looking for something a little more spring break-friendly than the usual greasy postbar fare. Peck's pick for best late-night pita? "The Dagwood — there's lots of meat on that one." The

PRODUCT REVIEW
CRUNCHWRAP SUPREME
Although Taco Bell's Crunchwrap Supreme disappeared for a while, it's back and better than ever I'm normally a little hesitant to eat anything that resembles a flying saucer, but the CS has all the components needed to taste great. It is a crunchy tostada shell with beef and warm nachq cheese on one side and lettuce tomatoes and cool sour cream on the other side, all wrapped in a soft flour tortilla and grilled. My only complaint was that it was hard to add taco sauce inside the tortilla shell, but then again, it really doesn't need it. At only $1.99, it fills you up and is wallet friendly too.

A look at the spotty benefits of sunless tanners
It's 29 degrees in Lawrence and while students are beginning to feel the stress of classes, they are also extremely aware of the impending spring break. So it's not uncommon to work on a tan in the dead of winter.
Gone are the Victorian days when a pale complexion signified societal prominence and dark skin tone signified common folk who got their hands dirty. These days, we darken our hands with sprays, foams and lotions that promise to make us "three shades darker in seven days."
It's obvious from self-tanner commercials and magazine covers bearing curiously dark celebrities that these products are moving from a trendy and temporary position to a more permanent role in society. They're gaining popularity because you could stay inside for a week and still emerge as if you've been basking under the sun.
The active chemical in sunless tan lotions, or self-tanners, is dihydroxyacetone (DHA). DHA is one of few ingredients in tan-enhancing products that has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration, reports Brown University's sun protection studies and BUPA, a British health care agency, DHA darkens the skin by turning to a sugar upon application and combining with
amino acids in the skin to form melanin, which gives a brown tint to skin.
"Self tanners are basically vegetable dyes that get absorbed by the skin cells that change them to a brown tan," says Dr. Matthew Buxton, of Lawrence Dermatology, 346 Maine. Over time, manufacturers have perfected the coloring from an orange to a more natural brown tone, he says.
"Research your product and look at the ingredients in it. Be a knowledgeable consumer," advises Beth Ryszewski, general manager at Sunkissed Tan, 2540 Iowa St. If you're purchasing lotion at a tanning salon, it's important to drill the person behind the counter for information on the product, she says.
While sunless tanning is a safe alternative to sunbathing,you should be aware of the chemicals included in any lotion.
Because of more even-spread results, Ryszewski prefers using a tanning booth instead of sunless tanners. "It's not the product that's the problem, just that it's difficult to apply," she says.
Still, it's tempting to use self-tanner because it means you don't have to leave the house.
"I've used the spray tanner and I like it because I don't have the time to constantly go to tanning booths," says Rachel Vaughan,
Naperville, Ill. sophomore. Vaughan, a redhead, has fair skin and burns easily." I also use it because I don't want to end up looking like a wrinkled old hag," she says.
The main drawback to sunless tanners cited by students is the fact that, when applied incorrectly, it often leaves irregular streaks and an unnatural orange tint on the skin.
Cara Grin and Jennifer Watkins, Overland Park sophomores, have experimented with bronzes and lotions since high school. They say it's safer to visit a tanning salon for a more even and consistent outcome.
Despite spots and streaks, sunless tanners are far healthier for your body than exposure to UV rays. Overexposure to the sun's UV rays can accelerate the appearance of wrinkles on the skin and cause melanoma (skin cancer). Dr. Buxton, dermatologist, often treats college students with melanoma, many of them frequent tanners.
Buxton recommends self-tanners because whether UV rays are natural or artificial, they're all harmful for your skin.
"Tanning booths are just as bad for your skin as the sun and probably worse because there's some perpetuation of a myth that they're safe," he says.
testing tanners
The UV rays of a tanning bed may scare you off and membership to a salon might blow your pre-spring break budget. Consider visiting your local drugstore for some self-tanner. Foams, lotions and sprays range from $4.99 to $11.99.
In an attempt to break my tanning bed addiction, I set out on a mission to test the top brands and types of self-tanner. In the end, I looked like a sun-kissed rainbow of browns. Not necessarily a good thing in the middle of February, but my trial-and-error process still delivered answers.
Coppertone Sunless Tanning Bronzing Foam, $11.99
Results:Took only 30 minutes and was the darkest and most drastic change. I was almost two shades darker, but it faded radically by the second day. There wasn't much streaking, but the edges of my tan were a bit rough and the color was somewhat unrealistic. If you use the foam, make sure to rub it everywhere or it will look highly irregular.
Side Effects: After application, my "tan" was fairly sticky for the rest of the day.
L'OREAL Sublime Bronze Any
Angle Self-Tanning Spray. $9.90
Results: This was the fastest result I got in terms of a believable-looking tan. I applied the spray before bed and woke up the next morning with a visible difference. However, roommate assistance may be required, as it's supposed to be "sprayed from an arm's length."
Side Effects: "They always tell you not to breathe it in, but I always do," Vaughan warns of the spray's toxic odor. The scent isn't overwhelming at first, but after you've covered your whole body in it, you may need a breath of fresh air.
Results: Definitely the most cost efficient and reliable of the three products — I can understand why it sold out nationwide when it came on the market. After about four days, my skin was a slightly darker tone and looked healthy.
Side Effects: Using the lotion regularly may build up in skin crevices near the knuckles, knees and elbows. I could see a different shade on my feet where I had forgotten to apply the lotion.

HEALTH DID YOU KNOW
Mom always told me the white spots under my fingernails came from not drinking enough milk. Turns out she was wrong. The white spots, known to doctors as "leukonychia," are actually caused by minor injury to the base of your nails, according to www.DrWeil.com, a site maintained by Andrew Weil, a clinical professor of medicine at the University of Arizona's College of Medicine. Because the white spots don't develop until about six weeks after the injury, you probably won't remember hurting your finger. No wonder milk never helped.

Is it faith, or faking it?
by Carolyn Tharp
If you ever need to preside over a wedding or baptism, here's the solution to that little problem of becoming a minister.
Phillip Wrigley, Lawrence sophomore, didn't plan on becoming a minister. In fact, he's studying history. But when his friend told him he could become an official, ordained minister just by clicking a button, Wrigley decided to sign up. He became ordained at 15, when he
and his friend thought it would be a funny thing to do.
Nowadays, all you have to do to become a minister is apply over the internet. In "just three minutes" the Universal Life Church ordains anyone who has Internet access and wants to be a minister. The non-denominational, interfaith church accepts requests for ordination on its Web site, www.uclc.org.
However, ULC does not actually process ordinations online, says Andre Hensley, a minister with the ULC headquarters. The Web site simply takes requests and the actual ordinations are processed at ULC's headquarters in Modesto, Calif, he says.
Hensley's parents founded the church in 1959.Since then, it has ordained more than 18 million ministers in more than 80 countries.
The only requirements to become a ULC minister are a valid name and address and a background check to see if the applicant has been ordained before.
The lax prerequisites baffle other religious leaders. A
Catholic priest, for example, must have years of educational experience, including a masters degree in divinity. Father John Schmeidler, a priest at St. John the Evangelical Church, 1234 Kentucky St., says he had to complete 210 hours of graduate-level work,
Seeking religious leadership from someone ordained on ULC "would be like going to a doctor or a psychiatrist who got a degree over the Internet," Schmeidler says.
GENERAL MINISTRY BESTSELLERS
A minister has to know about the heart and soul, which takes training and experience, he says. It certainly takes longer than three minutes.
Once ordained, ULC ministers can perform weddings, funerals, baptisms, house blessings and absolve sins. Wrigley hasn't used his ordination in any formal fashion, he says, unless you count the time he blessed water and poured it on a friend.

ULC's open-door approach to ordination is a good idea.
"I don't think there's any learning you need to do to express your spirituality." Billings says. "You don't have to be taught how to do that."
ULC does offer courses for those willing to take them. Billings said he didn't want to spend the money on training.
But there's tremendous value in the education, says Peter Luckey,senior pastor at Plymouth Congregational Church, 925 Vermont St. Just being able to perform a ceremony doesn't make you a good minister.
It's not very hard to stand up in front of two people and say, 'I now pronounce you man and wife,' he says.
What a minister needs, Luckey says, is a community or church to discern whether a person really has the gift of ministry. Ministers need a community to hold them accountable and say whether they're doing a good job, he says.
ULC accepts those who have received a calling to become a minister and ordains them, Hensley says. But only God can truly ordain a person, he adds.
ULC gives everyone a chance
to voice his or her beliefs, Hensley says. Each person has the right to interpret what is right for him or herself, as long as it doesn't infringe on the rights of others, he says.
on the lights or otherwise, ULC can't verify the motivation for the 6,000-7,000 ordinations it grants each month. But even if only half of those requests are serious, that's still 3,500 ministers a month who are serious about the ministry, Hensley says.
ULC's Web site offers more than just ordination. Feeling really bad about something you did and want make it better? Click on "Instant Absolution of Sin," and you're forgiven. You can also buy one of the church's popular Ministry-In-a-Box kits — which contain books, materials, ceremonies and training to get new ministers started — for $139. The kit includes a manual, a"personalized high-quality certificate of ordination (suitable for framing)" and other certificates for ceremonies.

A HARD DAY'S NIGHT
KU students brave threats on their health and social life when they work the night shift.
BY Anilino Astorne
"Do you smell that?"
"I feel like such a dog sniffing the air."
"I don't smell it."
"I smelled it at seven this morning outside someone's door. Can you believe that?"
"I don't smell weed. Let's keep going."
For the next 45 minutes, Zach Straus prowls Ellsworth's hallways, checking the handles on fire extinguisher cases, sniffing the air for signs of misbehavior and peeking in common rooms along with three other resident assistants. This ritual always begins the Topeka senior's shift as an overnight security monitor.
While most students are sleeping soundly by 3 a.m., a select few are using this time to work. The night shift has no specific length, so long as it occurs between 8 p.m. and 8 a.m. And it's not just for strippers
and gas station attendants. College students working to pay off tuition or rent comprise some of the 5 million alternate shift workers between ages 16 and 24, according to a 2004 U.S. Labor Department study. In total, nearly 15 million work the night shift, which makes up 14.8 percent of all full-time wage and salary workers.
College students are notorious for staying up all hours of the night.Fifty-five percent of adults ages 18 to 20 go to bed past midnight, according to a study conducted by ACNielson, a marketing information company. So who can blame these scrappy getters who want to earn cash while they're already burning the midnight oil?
A firsthand look at a few KU students who work night shifts reveals that not just any Zack, Kelly or Slater can handle the rigors of the nightly grind while attending school.
Just because you can stay up all night drinking doesn't mean you can stay up all night working.
That's one of the misconceptions students have when they apply to work the 10 p.m. to 3 a.m. or the 4 a.m. to 9 a.m. shift, says Elizabeth George, supervisor for recruitment at UPS. The adjustment for working these times requires getting much less sleep than normal, which is hard for most to get used to, she says. After five years of hiring workers for these shifts, she has witnessed the revolving door of students who start the job and then burn out quickly.
New hires often get sick or have difficulty concentrating on their tasks. George says.
tasks, or forget them.
"Some students figure I've survived on three hours of sleep before so why not try it while working?" she says. "They're good for the first two days, but after three or four they can't handle it anymore."
Zach Straus, Topeka senior, moves silently along the hallway in search of misbehavior. Straus works as a security monitor for Ellsworth Hall.
George is referring to what happens to those who adjust to changes in their sleep cycle.The sleep cycle is regulated by two biological systems: sleep/wake homeostasis and the circadian rhythm,says Marci Cleary,spokesperson for the National Sleep Foundation.
After staying awake for a long period of time, sleep/wake homeostasis tells us we need to sleep. The circadian rhythm, on the other hand, regulates the timing of periods of sleepiness and wakefulness throughout the day. The rhythm is controlled by a group of neurons in the hypothalamus portion of the brain. The neurons respond to light and dark signals. When your eye perceives light, your brain thinks it's time to be awake — vice versa for darkness. When the body is exposed to light for a long time, like working at night in a brightly lit building, cues on the brain occur forcing the body to alter its normal sleep pattern to adjust. That's why those new to the late shift experience something similar to jet lag.
Tuesdays and Thursdays were the worst. She had to watch the safety monitors with fixed concentration.She
couldn't even work on her homework.
All night long she stared at the oftem-
empty screens, waiting for the shift to
end at 6 a.m. After she got off work,
it was only two more hours until her 8
a.m. class. Mondays, Wednesdays and
Fridays were a little better. On those
days, class didn't start until 10 a.m.
Tracy Blunt, Thornton, Colo,
freshman, began working nights
for the KU Public Safety office when she first arrived on campus this year. Throughout high school she held an after-school job. She wanted to do the same when she came to college and ended up working as a security monitor. Blunt knew from the start she wasn't a nocturnal person and that she would have to make some adjustments. At first she tried napping more often to make up for lost sleep, but that wasn't enough.
As the semester
wore on, her
schedule started

to take its toll. She was a straight A student in high school. In college she began to occasionally miss class because she was so tired after work. For long periods of time she would only get four hours of sleep a night. She didn't even have time for a set eating schedule.
"It was hard both physically and mentally," Blunt says. "Especially when it came to studying and my school work."
Blunt cites a number of factors, such as making the transition to college and not getting enough sleep, that prevented her from reaching her goal of a 3.5 GPA. She says it wasn't her employer's fault, but an inability to schedule classes before agreeing to work at night. Blunt says this semester she makes sure to adhere to a sleep schedule
that includes lots of naps and sleeping at set times. This has made all the difference, she says.
You have to take your sleep seriously when working at night, says Kenneth Wright, director of the Sleep & Chronobiology Lab at the University of Colorado Boulder. Wright has been studying the biological rhythms
that regulate sleep. He recommends a structured routine that workers start as soon as they are scheduled to work at night, which involves setting aside an adequate amount of time for sleep every day and a cool, dark, quiet place in which to sleep. If not, they risk encountering the inherent hazards associated with fatigue.
If people get four to six hours of sleep a night for a week, their performance will be just as bad as someone who has been awake for 24 straight hours, Wright says. Getting less than seven to nine
hours of sleep a night results in a worsening of performance every day, he says. If sleep is cut short, the body doesn't have time to complete all of the phases that help with muscle repair, memory consolidation and the release of hormones regulating appetite. This can result in side effects such as poor concentration, absenteeism, insomnia, weight gain and depression.
Getting enough sleep isn't the panacea for shift workers either, Wright says. Our bodies were not built to work during the night, he says. There are natural limits to our performance — our biological clock says so.
"Humans were meant to work during the solar day. In this 24-hour society, we expect people to be awake at all times, but there are consequences."Wright says.

The sun sets on the horizon as Friday afternoon turns into evening. Matthew Hull and his friends are eating an early dinner. His friends talk excitedly about
plans for the night, but Hull doesn't share theirenthusiasm. In less than six hours he has to be at his job at Dillons on 23rd St. He ends up going to the party with his friends but makes sure to leave before midnight so he's not late for work. He won't be done for another eight and a half hours.
Hull, Colby sophomore can't remember how many
by going out at an earlier time, like to a matinee or an early dinner, but it's just not the same.
Hull, like the majority of students in
"Some students figure they've survived on three hours of sleep before so why not try it while working. They're good for the first two days but after three or four they can't handle it anymore."

movies he hasn't been able to finish and parties he has left early because he has to work. He works every Friday and Saturday from midnight to 8:30 a.m. Hull says it's actually the times when tries to go out before work rather than stay home that are the worst. Then he has a clearer picture of what he is missing on as he heils under the sterile glow of fluorescent lights. The only times he can go out are Saturday afternoons and occasional weekday evenings. He says his friends try to help
many of students in his position, chose the night shift so he could focus on school during the week and have time to earn money. And, despite the enticing drink specials, partying on weeknights isn't an option. The trade off, however, is worth it for Hull.
"Since the week is so free for me to get all of my work done and get enough sleep, it all balances out," he says.
Zach Straus
completes his security round of Ellsworth Hall and begins to settle in at the main entrance for the night. He pulls up a chair to the check in station. Two workers behind the main desk continue their game of Monopoly Then a faint buzzing sound emits from near the two workers. Straus takes off in a moment's notice down the South wing in a spirt. He reaches the hallway door at the end and bursts it open. Angling his neck as he looks out the doorway to the outside, he again finds nothing. Another resident
has either left the building or snuck someone in.
Graveyard shift workers have to be vigilant in looking out for the safety of others and themselves. Zach Straus works two 11 p.m. to 9 a.m. shifts a week as a security monitor. He says most of the time the job requires minimal effort, but there is still the potential for greater responsibility. He has had to call ambulances and police after encountering residents who were passed out or in other states of peril, Straus says. He deals with the occasional fight. Straus has even been threatened by residents who said they would wait in the parking lot for him after work.
"Every time it's happened, though, I just tell them I will by no means fight anyone while on the clock, because I value my job a whole lot more than I desire to engage in ficticuffs."
It's not all conflict and life-threatening situations, however. Working at night can be just as mind-numbingly boring as it can be exciting. To stay alert on the job, students will revert to any means possible. Straus has his own routine. He begins with what he calls his "homework," which is reading all of the magazines that have no forwarding address from students who have moved. He'll move into either gossiping about residents or sitting blankly, staring off into space until his concentration is broken. Sometimes he'll throw a racquetball back and forth with a friend for hours. Straus says he
enjoys most of the nights because he is working with friends and they spend most of the time talking until the sun comes up.
Whether it is because they have enough time for school or they have fun doing it, students working the night shift continue to cling to their schedules despite the inherent risks. It's the lifestyle they've chosen for themselves and it suits them just fine. That is, most of the time. Straus admits there is only one time during the day
he ever has any hesitancies about what he does. It occurs during the eerily silent hours of the early morning, which he calls the "witching hour."
"It usually happens when there's only an hour left on my shift and the day is beginning but you are ending yours," he says. "As the sun rises, it's a physical reminder that you are different from everyone else and you feel worthless."
Straus, security monitor, checks one of the elevators in Ellsworth hall. He says he can't keep another job because he is so conditioned to working at nights.

en, sharpen your pencils and take note: this weekend you can learn to defend yourselves from those pesky gamekillers, or, to put it crudely, cock-blockers. A gamekiller is that
girl who professes it's a "girls' night out" or the dude who lights his farts on fire and kills the mood, preventing your potential party hook-up. Mo Rocca, a former correspondent for The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, arrives on campus Saturday to teach both sexes to recognize and handle an approaching gamekiller in a comedic "lecture" called Gamekillers 101. But more importantly, KU students want to know what color shirt Rocca will be wearing during his lecture. You may remember Rocca donning a blue KU shirt as a contributor to VH1's I Love... series, only to wear a different shirt in an unflattering shade of purple in a later installment. Rocca pleads that he just wants to keep the peace and that the warring in Kansas over his wardrobe choices must stop.
Q: So, you're fresh off the plane. Did you get anything to eat on the flight?
A:The guy next to me grabbed a huge handful of food and wolfed down about half the basket they passed around, so I only got to choose one of the fancy biscotti.
Q: No peanuts? Are you pro- or anti-plane peanuts?
A: I'm all for bringing back the honey roasted peanuts. Pretzels remind me of the television show Coach. It was pointless, but you watched it anyway because it was there.
Q: You seem to have run the gambit — you were a writer for kid's TV show Spy on the Wild, an editor for adult men's magazine Perfect 10 and, most recently, a political satirist. Is there any job you won't do?
A: I would not do pay-per-view ultimate fighting. I bruise like a grape.
Q: You seem to have an affinity for animals. You penned "All the Presidents' Pets" and host a show on Animal Planet. Do you have any pets?
A: I think my involvement with those things has been guilt abatement for not having pets. I did have two cats that were extremely dog-like and affectionate, but they've passed.
Q: Is it true that dogs are chick magnets for guys?
A: Yes, Guys with dogs are gamekillers. There are 14 kinds of gamekillers and any number of them can have a dog as an added weapon.
Q: You first wore a Rock Chalk Jayhawk shirt on the I Love the '90s series, garnering the respect and admiration of students across the KU campus, but then you had to go and wear a K-State shirt on I Love the '80s 3-D. What gives?
A. This had been a very difficult issue for me.
Let's just say that my heart is with KU. However,
we have to have peace in Kansas. Look
how traumatic things were in the Bleeding
Kansas days. K-State sent me a shirt after that
appearance, and I didn't want any hostility
over my choice of shirts. I wanted to extend an
olive branch and wear a K-State shirt. But let
me tell you this: the K-State shirt was decidedly
less attractive. That purple made me look all
washed out. Plus, it was a polyester blend shirt,
and I liked wearing the KU shirt more, which
was 100 percent cotton. Please, don't think I'm
dissing you guys. I don't mean to send mixed
signals. I really like Lawrence because it's a
more progressive place. Wichita State begged
me to wear one of their shirts, but it was made
of corn husks and honestly that's just very itchy.

MORRISON PAW THE DEVIL
One of the greatest singer-songwriters in American music history, Van Morrison, releases his newest album Pay the Devil next Tuesday. The primarily country disc features covers of old country classics ("Your Cheatin' Heart") as well as new tracks written by Morrison. He draws from country, R & B and Celtic influences, but the result is pure Morrison: vintage comfort, and soothing soul.

BEST WAY TO LEARN
HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN YOU ARE OVER SOMEONE ENOUGH TO START DATING AGAIN?
— TABATHA, SENIOR
Jessica: I think you're over someone when it no longer makes your stomach churn to hear his or her name mentioned, or when you can look at old photos of him or her without feeling like crap. Also when you no longer harbor any feelings for the person, good or bad. You may always love your ex, but don't let him or her consume your every thought. It takes more time than most are willing to wait, but make sure you're over the last one before you start dating someone new. Who wants a first date with you when you can't talk about anything but your ex?
breaks your heart? If one-night stands aren't your thing, start pursuing that boy who's caught your eye since freshman year.There are already feelings towards him to keep you from thinking about your ex and there's plenty to learn about him (that you haven't already learned from stalking). Moral of the situation: the worst thing to do is sit around and mope about being single again. Then you'll just tear yourself apart wondering what you did wrong.Get right back out there and find that guy who loves everything about you.Even that bout of public lice you got from your ex.
Brian: I don't agree with Jessica at all. How better to get over an ex than to hook up with a random hottie right after your boyfriend
IF YOU ARE DRUNK AND CHEAT ON YOUR PARTNER, DOES IT COUNT IF YOU DON'T REMEMBER? — MONA, FRESHMAN
Brian: So you mean to tell me if your boyfriend got drunk, blacked out and slept with your best friend, you wouldn't want to know about it right? What happens when you find your best friend has a baby and your boyfriend's actually the father? Don't be a moron. While what constitutes cheating can be debated the fact that you cheated cannot.
Jessica: No, because what we you don't remember doesn't count right? Even if you win up 3 weeks late and have this burning sensation in your neither regions...you NEVER had sex with that foxy-looking guy who took you home from Quintons. Just keep telling yourself that Yes, it counts! Just because you have no recollection of an event, doesn't mean it never happened.
MY MAN CAN'T MAKE ME ORGASM. WHAT SHOULD I DO? — KRISTY, JUNIOR
Jessica: First, you need to understand that a guy does not GIVE an orgasm; he's merely a facilitator helping her achieve something she can and should be able to do on her own. Technique is one thing, but knowing what YOU need and like is another. Can you have orgasm on your own? If not, don't expect him to have the magical touch. I recommend finding out what you like and then explicitly telling him what will get you off. If he follows what you say perfectly and it's still not working, perhaps the issue is more mental than physical, in which case you need to relax and talk it over with your guy. Maybe there's something going on beneath the surface that you two need to resolve. P.S. I hear the purple-and-white-striped vibrators from Priscilla's do the trick.
Brian: What you ideally would do is go back in time and make women evolve to climax faster. Guys had no problem evolving so they can have orgasms as soon as you touch them; women should have done the same. Since that isn't possible, you have to either get a better man or learn to pleasure yourself. If none of these work, I suggest you give up on men and invest in a lifetime supply of vibrators and AA batteries.
Editor's Note: Orgasm is a noun,not a verb. So "your man" can never make you orgasm. What he can do is make you have an orgasm (or not.)

Madea's Family Reunion
REVIEWS
If a Lifetime Movie and a Comedy Central series mated, their offspring would look like Madea's Family Reunion. The movie goes from melodrama to slapstick and back again in seconds.
The main story centers on the love lives of two sisters, Vanessa (Lisa Arrindell Anderson) and Lisa (Rochelle Aytes), and the sisters' relationship with their controlling, self-interested mother, who either is the devil or is doing a very good impression. Cutting through the drama of their lives like a chainsaw through a couch is their aunt Madea, a brash and brassy matriarch who dispenses justice and aphorisms, armed with a belt and the back of her hand. Previously
seen in Diary of a Mad Black Woman, Madea is the brainchild of actor Tyler Perry who wrote and directed this film. He plays three characters, including Madea herself.
Considering this is a movie where one of the female leads is played by a man, Madea's Family Reunion is surprisingly earnest
in its sentimentality. Although it gets to be too much.During the course of the movie, Vanessa learns to trust again and Lisa learns to stand on her own two feet, and they both do so in dramatic Hollywood style.
Madea's Family Reunion is sweet, sometimes funny, sometimes unbearably earnest and always predictable.

THE STORY
Some by Sea MUSIC On Fire (Igloo!)
Like a lot of other indie pop bands, Some By Sea has some good ideas. The band from Tacoma, Wash, has been building its fan base over the last few years by releasing two albums on its own label before joining The Pale Pacific and Neva Dinova at SideCho records.
Unfortunately, like a lot of other indie pop bands, Some By Sea simply doesn't know how to execute its good ideas. The average length of a song is 5-6 minutes — and nothing interesting happens the whole time. Most of the songs are full of excessive intertwining guitars and violins, sloppy drum playing and lyrics that ramble with no coherent end.
these problems continue through the final song, in which the band commits the number one cliché in rock music a 10-minute last song. The album formula of mediocre songs ending with a 12-minute "masterpiece" is overused and boring.
On Fire (igloo!) employs some good ideas, but they're sandwiched between several layers of dull throwaway parts. If you want indie pop that goes somewhere, get anything by Death Cab For
Cutie or Matt Pond PA. They have good ideas and execution.

Chris Bower
SHeDaisy Fortuneteller's Melody
MUSIC
In a grand kiss-off to the people that used to buy their records, Nashville's rebel trio, The Dixie Chicks, finally waved goodbye to country music. "We don't feel a part of (that) scene anymore," quips lead-singer Natalie Maines to a foreign magazine.
Leave it to the absolute authority on such matters to cover the situation; Rolling Stone told the story as if Nashville was supposed to be upset.
Let's pretend, for a moment,
it wasn't sales that decided The Dixie Chicks weren't country. It's goodbye for good, which brings us to SHeDAISY, the verifiable anti-Chicks. Fortunetellerer's Melody, their fourth album, looks set to fill the female-trio slot
void on country radio since the Chicks' departure.
Melody continues in the same summery, pop-drenched country of SHeDAIYS's previous work, only more solidly. There's not a dud among these tracks. These hooks can satisfy country radio for a while. "23 Days,""Kickin'In"and the lead single, "I'm Taking the Wheel," move along with brisk, breezy instrumentation, plenty of attitude and refreshing vocals (unlike Maine's unpleasant nasal twang).
Mid-tempo rockers"Bring it On Back"and "Healing Side"are intelligent, melodic reflections on real people drama.
And in "God Bless the American Housewife,"the ladies
assert themselves with a perfect blend of wit and depth. As they run through a list of housewife-like chores, it's in the line Look at me, I'm sexy as the devil when I mow the lawn that they truly distinguish themselves as modern-day super women. It's powerfully and purposefully anti-feminist.
In their recognition of real-life women, SHeDAISY does something the Chicks wouldn't dream of: empathize with their listeners. And for that, their album is loved — and bought.

Nick Connell
The Weather Man
DVD
Dave Spritzt (Nicholas Cage) makes $240,000 a year to read a teleprompter for two hours everyday. He's a Chicago meteologist with a bit of local celebrity. But, he is in reality far from the chipper Spritzt people see on television.
Poor rich boy, right? I mean he receives a huge paycheck for very little thought or effort. It seems he has it made.
But then you begin to understand. He gets fast food thrown at him when he's walking on the streets. People resent his "easy" life and tend to hold him accountable for the dismal winter. His ex-wife, Noreen (Hope Davis), is remarrying. His 11-year-old daughter, Shelly (Gemmene de la Peña), is overweight and depressed. His teenage son (Nicholas Houtt) is in rehab. And then there's his father, Robert (Michael Caine). Robert is a Pulitzer-Prize winning author and is considered a national treasure. He sets a standard
too high for Dave to ever reach.
Dave Spritz doesn't even have a degree in meteorology. He sees his life as having little substance — much like the fast food being constantly chucked at him. Nothing in his life is consistent or stable, or even consistently unstable.
IT'S SELF-SUPPORTED.
Special features on the DVD include cast and crew interviews. There's a feature about the importance of color palettes on movie sets (The Weather Man's palette was mostly beige to represent the monotony of Dave's life.). And for anyone interested in weather, there's even a feature that teaches you how to be a meteorologist. The interviews are compelling and explain the symbolism
It's only when he takes up the sport of archery that he can control something and count on accuracy. The weather is "just wind. It's more of a technical art than it is a science." And so is life.
Nicolas Lange
the Weather Main
along the way
well.
This movie isn't exactly uplifting. It represents the monotonic side of life and the reality that nothing can be predicted. But it does so in a sarcastic way, mostly thanks to Caine's wit and bluntness. You'll laugh at the often pathetic characters, and you'll relate to at least one of them.
At least, that's what I forecast.

The Wasp Factory by Iain Banks
BOOK
If someone tells me a book is totally sick, I have to go investigate. Usually I'm disappointed. I'm hard to shock but this novel held no such disappointment. It is truly one of the most disturbing, yet perversely enjoyable, novels I've ever read.The only thing I can compare it to is Chuck Palahniuk's (Fight Club, Choke) darker stuff.
the
wasp
factory
IAIN BANKS
artists of a wasp of stories
But Palahniuk after a three-day speed binge couldn't even come up with this.
So what is it?
The novel is renowned in the underground circles of cult Brit lit (more specifically, Scottish lit), and was named one of the Top 100 Novels of the Century by The Independent. In Kansas, you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone who has heard of it. After having the book recommended to me by a British citizen, I hunted through four bookstores. It was worth the frustration.
The novel's narrator is teenager Frank Cauldhame, who lives with his widower father in a small Scottish town. Frank is basically a sociopath. Much of the novel is devoted to flashbacks, in which Frank,
before turning 10, murders three children.Two were his cousins, and the third was his brother. Yeah, he's one sick mother.
The second storyline involves the escape of Frank's other brother, Eric, from a mental hospital. Frank is merely evil, but Eric is evil and bombastic, with a penchant for pyromania. As the novel progresses, Eric increasingly gets closer to the family's home and the climax forces Frank and his father to confront him.
The novel's imagery is graphic and stark (beware, it gets rough), but the true testament to the novel's perversity is that we like Frank. He's funny, intelligent and perfectly reasonable, apart from being insane. It's this empathy we have for him that truly sets the novel
apart from other horror (yeah, *horror*) novels. And the ending is a drop-kick to the gut, without being an annoying cop-out.
As to the literal,
prophetic Wasp Factory,
words cannot do it justice.
It's best to read the novel
and absorb it yourself.
If you can find the damn book, you're in for one demented joyride.

"Welcome to the most destructive racing game ever created. Full Auto is designed to give you everything you want in a racer stunning graphics intense speed, massive destruction, sleek, customized vehicles, innovative features and tough competition."

than 10 minutes. No big deal, I think.
If *Full Auto* was limited to the twenty-one customized metal machines (muscle cars, exotics, SUVs, tuners, classics and more) racing through three destructible environments packed with high-speed action, the game would rock pretty hard." No way! Twenty-one cars and a whopping three environments? That rocks like a deaf guy at a Yankal concert.
"But it rocks harder than that Way harder". No, it doesn't. Spend your $60 on drinks at the Hawk. At least that will provide you with more than 10 minutes of fun.

Busting out

Busting out
How one woman came to terms with her breasts by Carrie Hillard
They started appearing out of nowhere, two small hills of womanhood. I remember thinking, "This isn't so bad." But they didn't stop there. They kept growing and growing until my breasts became two C-cup mountains on my chest.
While other 10- and 12-year-old girls were running around braless and carefree,the thought of breasts far from their minds, the mere thought of running brought images of heaping mounds bouncing carelessly against my chest. I was positive my friends would notice. I even started to worry that any sudden movement would cause one of my breasts to fly out of my bra.
I was unprepared for dealing with the size of my bust because my mother was not large-chested. I do remember visiting my grandmother, who would gently press my head to her breasts when we hugged, as if to protect me from the cruel world. They were like two soft pillows providing comfort and love. My parents never forget to remind me to
"Thank Grandma" for my assets. Boobs must skip a generation.
One reason I noticed my breasts more was because of the attention they received from hormonal boys. The boys started having an exceedingly hard time looking at my face when I was talking; their eyes would dart downward as if my breasts were putting on a show. My naive self just thought they were being shy. The girls usually weren't harsh, though a few thought it was funny to snap my bra straps. I prayed for the day they wore real bras and I could get them back.
The drifting of the boys' eyes and the snapping of the bra straps did not bother me as much as the nicknames and jokes. The boys didn't seem to realize, or care, how much it embarrassed me. The nickname I remember the most came from a boy I barely knew who gave my breasts the nickname EEK. Much later I learned this acronym meant "Enormously Enlarged Knockers." Eventually survival instincts kicked in and I learned to ignore or play down the jabs.
I was not used to the attention my chest was bringing, nor did I care for it. My breasts started getting compared to everything from innocent fruits to guns to flotation devices. I can't count how many times I was told how huge my jugs, headlights, hooters, ta-tas or knockers were. Even my family could not refrain from chiming in. My freshman year of high school, when I was stressed about finding a job, my dad jokingly told me I could probably get one at Hooters if I really wanted to make some money, though mom quickly shot that idea down. These hills on my chest were becoming a huge burden, and it didn't take long for me to become extremely self-conscious about them.
I didn't date a lot in high school because I was afraid guys only wanted to date my chest. I thought no one could possibly want to date me because of my personality or sense of humor. I started concealing my breasts with large sweatshirts, Jackets and layered clothing. I even remember trying to wear some
of my dad's shirts, pretending it was for warmth and keeping my true reasons to myself. I never considered wearing something that accentuated my breasts. This soon changed, however, as more girls my age developed breasts, some even bigger than mine.
Because I had developed so early, it took me a while to understand why some girls wanted to show off their new assets. I still don't understand the desire of women like Pamela Anderson to stick foreign objects into their bodies to achieve a larger breast size.
It took me a while to get over my childhood breast-trauma. Once I did, I learned to be happy with what God gave me. Over time, I learned to avoid the men who stared at my chest rather than my eyes. I can now smile and say thank you when I'm complimented on my cleavage. I'm no longer self-conscious of my breasts; they are a part of me. They're now my favorite asset, and without them I wouldn't be the person I am today. Thanks, Grandma.

Ricky House, Salina freshman, is one of the top-10 finalists for PETA's Sexiest Vegetarian Alive contest. Voting for the winner ends March 31.
KU has top-10 hottest man in world (who doesn't eat meat)
BY MELINDA RICKETTS
mricketts@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
On the questionnaire for the "Sexiest Vegetarian Alive" contest Ricky House put that the best thing about being a vegetarian was "definitely the babes."
He heard about the contest through an newsletter and somewhat jokingly sent in his picture and biographical information.
That may work out for the Salina freshman who is one of 10 male finalists in the contest, sponsored by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, PETA.
Reannon Peterson, PETA manager of vegan campaigns, was on the panel that chose the finalists. She said that they were looking for people from all walks of life and that the contestants they chose vary widely including just about every profession except butchers.
"What they all had in common was they were fit, they were sexy, they were full of energy," she said.
House decided to be a vegetarian for moral and health reasons and also because of his generally non-violent attitude.
"I think it makes sense not to eat animals," he said, "and I think raising awareness is a good thing because the world could use more vegetarians."
House's roommate Matt Boyer, Salina sophomore, said that making it this far in the contest has gone to House's head.
"He reminds us, at least every hour or so, that he has been nominated to be the sexiest vegetarian." Bover said.
More than 250 men and 300 women entered the contest. Voting for finalists ends on March 31, and the winners will be announced soon afterward. People can vote for their favorite finalists at www.goveg.com.
The prizes for the winning male contestant include a $50 gift certificate from MooShoes, body cologne from Jason Natural Cosmetics, a porcelain coffee mug, vegan chocolate truffles, a box of boca "chicken" patties, and coupons for Johnny Rockets veggie burgers.

Anime-mania strikes on campus
But trend could increase stereotypes
NAKA-KON 2006

KANSAN CORRESPONDENT

Spiky hair, samurai and giant robots will be invading campus this weekend. The KU Anime Club is holding its second annual anime convention Naka-Kon in the Kansas Union Saturday and Sunday.
The convention will feature guest speakers from the world of anime — artwork, costumes, workshops and gaming competitions.
"This is a huge jump from last year," said Brian Smith, KU Anime club president. "This year it's on five floors, for two days. We have every room we can rent. Last year we were on one floor."
Naka-Kon hasn't just grown in size. Smith, Bonner Springs graduate student, said it has gone from just a handful of activities last year to more than 40 this year. He said the club wanted to make the convention more interactive by offering a wider variety of competitions, game show-style events and by having a room dedicated to video games. The game room will include popular games plus some imports not widely available in the states.
Michiko Ito, Japanese studies librarian, said that while anime may be more visible, she didn't know if she would describe it as popular now.
"How many people out of a hundred are anime fans? Two, maybe four?" she asked.
She said that anime could introduce Americans to Japanese culture, but she worried that it would have the opportunity to increase misunderstandings or stereotypes.
Contributed by KU Anime Club
"There are no long, red-haired samurai in Japan," Ito said. "It's a fantasy and younger viewers cannot always distinguish between reality and fantasy."
Still, the camaraderie and activities the convention offer are
"Most people don't have access to anime merchandise they can browse through," he said. "They can go online, but at a convention it's all right there."
big draws, Smith said. And like any convention, there is the opportunity to pick up new stuff.
Still, anime's popularity has exploded in the last few years. Ten years ago, it could have been chal
lenging to find anime videos or merchandise. Now, anime shows appear on major cable networks and many book and video stores have anime sections. Conventions pop up everywhere. Anime-cons com,a convention tracking site, lists dozens of shows planned for this year in the United States, 10 of which will be held on college campuses.

Places like the Jayhawk Walk in the Kansas Union and the images on the courts and east wall of the Student Recreation and Fitness Center may have an addition on the way. These images feature the evolution of the Jayhawk since its inception in 1912.
The Jayhawk will now sport the new KU lettering on its chest. Chancellor Robert Hemenway, along with Hal Sandy, designer of the 1946 smiling Jayhawk, announced the change for the KU lettering in September. The 1946 Jayhawk image is still used today.
The University has labeled the logo "current jayhawk." This logo was made to combine all graphics and to help the University maintain a consistent image for its brand.

Since Jan. 1, the current Jyahawk has been officially used on promotional items and apparel. The old logo that is printed on items still in stock will not be thrown out, but sold while supplies last.
The previous Jayhawks are still embedded around the University to display the University's historical pride.
"We want to acknowledge and honor the important role that the Jayhawks have played in KU history, but try to standardize the use of the current Jayhawk in current communications," said David Johnston, director of marketing.

Why don't we paint the town? And all that jazz

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The 29th annual University of Kansas Jazz festival will take place today and Saturday.
The non-competitive event, sponsored by the department of music and dance, has attracted a number of world-class performers and some of the best vocal jazz ensembles and combos across the country
Dan Gailey, director of the jazz studies program, said, "There are two main reasons the festival has continued to thrive: The exceptional guest artists we bring in every year, and the quality experience that the visiting school groups receive," he said. "The emphasis is totally on learning."
Headlinning this year's festival are vocalist Julia Dollison and drummer Peter Erskine.
The festival offers an opportunity for jazz lovers to hear music as well as an opportunity for novices to learn more about jazz music and culture.
Clinics and master classes, along with interviews from jazz musicians, give the audience an opportunity to learn more about jazz from a first-hand perspective.
Galley said the festival would give jazz more exposure and it
The festival takes place in conjunction with the KU interdisciplinary jazz studies group's colloquium, which will discuss the history of jazz in Lawrence and Kansas City. The discussion panel will focus on local area bands from the 1930s to the 1950s as well as the traveling culture of jazz during the same era.
The KU interdisciplinary group is composed of teachers from various faculty departments who are all interested in jazz and use jazz in their teachings.
Sherrie Tucker, American studies professor and member of the jazz studies group, said, "The colloquium works well in combination with the festival because people can hear the music and get a historical and cultural component about jazz."

The festival will present clinics from jazz musicians from across the country. The musicians will offer tutorials and guidance on how to play jazz instruments. They will also discuss their experience in the field of music.

"We've grown up in an era where jazz isn't played on the radio and this is true even for my generation," Gailey said. "It takes a real effort to search out the music."

The Student Senate Elections Commission held an open forum Thursday night. It give students and candidates a last chance to make any changes to the official election code.The code contains all rules involving the campaign process.
Student Senate makes changes to election code, dates, deadlines
The election day dates were moved forward because the original dates fell on the religious holiday of Passover. Students will now be able to vote online or at two physical polling sites, one at Mrs. E's and one outside of Wescoe Hall, on Tuesday, April 11, or Wednesday, April 12.
Because the election day was moved, the commission changed the deadline for coalitions to remove all campaign posters to three school days after the election. The last deadline for code violations was also moved to correspond with the date so all remaining posters could still be reported. The election code complaint filed Feb. 21 by Gina Gay, Leawood sophomore and current Black Student Union senator, which accused the Ignite coalition of libel, was dropped and the election commission did not hear the case.

Orchestra to debut this weekend
BY DEJUAN ATWAY
datway@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Mozart was born 250 years ago and the spirit of his music lives on this weekend when The University of Kansas Camerata chamber orchestra presents its first concert of the semester.
The orchestra was formed in 2003 and is primarily composed of non-music majors. The majority of students in the orchestra have declared an array of majors ranging from social welfare to astrophysics to engineering to accounting.
The concert will be at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday in Swarthout Recital Hall.
The Camerata is offered as a class for students who are interested in music and still want to participate in some form of music on campus while not declaring music as a major.
Members of Camerata find pleasure and success in a form of artistic expression while still maintaining and balancing other school demands.
The time commitments required to perform concerts and to practice has not hampered the orchestra members. Instead, many of them find a sense of satisfaction from performing in the orchestra.
Dory Ann Cochran, Manhattan freshman, said she played the violin in high school. The Camerata gave her the opportunity to stay involved in music while in college.
"The Camerata and music in general provides the opportunity to get away from the stress of preparing for a test or just day-to-day school work."
Many of the students in the Camerata cannot attend a lot of weekly practices because of prior engagements, said Vera
Volchansky, conductor of the Camerata.
The orchestra practices twice a week, on Monday and Thursday, for two and half hours.
To fill out the entire orchestra, the Camerata students are often joined by doctoral students and professional players with assistance from the School of Fine Arts.
"They are often joined by some of the best players in the school. It is a great opportunity to play with many of these players." Volchansky said.
Melissa Robinson, Kansas City, Mo., graduate student, is a solo horn player who was asked by Volchansky to participate in the orchestra to help fill out the ensemble.
Robinson said she knew that most students have many activities going on, that the members of KU Camerata know they want to participate in the orchestra.
All the students in the Camerata have some sort of musical background either from high school or prior.
"Yeah, it's a challenge to find time, but it's like anything else in life. If you want to do it, you will find the time," Robinson said.
"They have done a great job. They all have assignments, exams and other commitments," Volchansky said, "It is refreshing to see people who have no plans to do anything with music who come together for this one unified goal."
Cochran said, "At times it can be difficult to balance the amount of time needed to practice for the rehearsal or to complete the five-page paper that might be due the next day, but overall it's been a great experience and I'm very glad that I got involved."

ENTERTAINMENT Kid Rock: Sex tapes just part of rock 'n' roll
Kid Rock blames Scott Stapp for losing a sex video showing them with several strippers, but appreciates Stapp for one thing.
"What perfect timing," Rock told The Associated Press in an interview Wednesday. "I got a record coming up ... Maybe I should thank him."
The hard-partying rap- rocker, whose new live concert alur., "LiveTrucker", hit stores
Tuesday, defended his backstage antics, saying, "It's not any big revelation that this goes on in rock 'n' roll, especially with who I am."
Still, Rock laka Robert Ritchie) has fired back against Stapp's claim that the tape was stolen, saying the former Creed singer filmed the tape, which was made in Rock's motor home in 1999, and is responsible for losing it.
"He's the idiot because it's out," the 35-year-old Rock said. "I'm holding him responsible."

LAWRENCE
Roundabout jeopardizes homes
BY CARRIE WALLACE
editor@kansan.com
KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
Cal Santos, also known as Haunted Cal, was livid about a recent scary surprise. For more than a year, the house he rents at 1900 19th St., the "Haunted Kitchen," has played host to art, political and music events. But now he suddenly faces the possibility that those days might soon be over. The "Haunted Kitchen" may have to be torn down to make room for a proposed roundabout at the intersection of 19th and Louisiana streets.
The intersection at 19th and Louisiana streets is the most dangerous in Lawrence, said David Woosley, city traffic engineer. Between 2002 and 2004, 31 crashes were reported. Five of those crashes involved injuries, and five of them involved drivers under the age of 18, Woosley said.
"I feel like I'm in 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy,'" he said, referring to the opening lines of the Douglas Adams novel in which the hero wakes up to a builddozer preparing to demolish his home. "Oh well," he said, as he shrugged his shoulders. "We're gonna party till they tear it down."
During peak hours, traffic at the intersection backs up all the way to Massachusetts Street, City Engineer Terese Gorman said. Most of the accidents were
left-turn related, and round-abouts solve this type of traffic problem, she said. The safest and best solution from an engineering standpoint, she said, was a roundabout.
The intersection at 19th and Louisiana streets is the most dangerous in Lawrence, said David Woosley, city traffic engineer.
The Lawrence City Commission rejected the $1.49 million roundabout proposal in December because it said a roundabout would not be able to control Lawrence's traffic in 15 years because of its rapid growth. The commissioners thought the plan was too expensive for the short-term remedy it provided.
About 20 residents gathered at a public meeting last week to discuss the proposal. Unfortunately, the people that the proposal affects the most, homeowners in the area, were not present.
BG Consultants, a regional engineering group that paid $37,000 last month to work on this project, has drafted another proposal. This draft, centered on geometric improvements to the intersection, would cost an estimated $2.24 million, but could be as much as $3 million according to a memorandum by the Public Works Department. This roundabout could handle traffic for years to come.
If this proposal is accepted by the city commission and put on the capital improvements plan, Haunted Cal might need a
new nickname because the city would pave over the "Haunted Kitchen." Seventeen other properties would be affected and four homeowners would have to sell their homes to the city. The intersection would also be closed for up to a year.
Todd Giles has owned his home at 1900 Ohio St. for two years. He is pursuing his Ph.D. while teaching at the University of Kansas. His neighbors across the street, Yoon and Laurenza Soung, bought their home last September.
Giles and the Soungs didn't know about the proposal. The city would buy Giles' home and would take almost $10,000 of the Soung's land if the commission approves it. The Soungs said they never got a postcard about the public meeting. Giles didn't think he did either. However, Giles believes the project is justified.
"I could bitch and moan and say it's stupid, but the city could really use this, and there are only four homes," he said. "The proposal certainly seems to make sense. It would have been nice if they would have informed the residents a little more clearly than they did."
When asked why those who might be asked to remit property were not specifically told about the plan, David Hanby of BG Consultants said the draft proposal was only a project and drawings on paper until it was funded. He said he saw no reason to tell those people specifically and thought postcards sent to residents about the public meeting were sufficient.
While the city hasn't funded a complete plan yet, City Commissioner Mike Amyx said that the intersection ranked as a very high priority because it was such a dangerous intersection. He said 19th and Louisiana streets must be addressed because there are so few east-west thoroughfares.
As he surveyed the geometric improvements draft proposal for the first time, Amyx said that the commission would look at this as it did any other project. It will go on the capital improvements list while the city looks for ways to fund it. Regarding the eminent domain issue, Amyx said that the city makes "a big-time concerted effort" to avoid eminent domain. Chuck Soules, the Director of Public Works, agreed.
"We'll try to negotiate anywhere we can," he said. "We really want to avoid eminent domain."
A city commission meeting to discuss this proposal will likely happen next month.

NATION Meth use on the rise; more users seek help
Drug treatment centers have seen a substantial rise in the number of people seeking help for methamphetamine abuse, a report released Thursday said.
As trafficking in the highlyaddictive drug has spread across the country, the number of meth users admitted to substance abuse clinics more
than quadrupled from 1993 to 2003, according to a review by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.
The report was released hours before the Senate passed legislation to combat meth by limiting sales of cold medicines used to make the illegal drug.
States in the Midwest and South that had few meth abuse patients a decade ago are now seeing a sharp rise in the rate
of admissions to treatment centers, the report said.The findings mirror the trend of meth abuse moving gradually from the West, across the Midwest, and South to the East.
"It's not that the prevalence of meth is changing, but the addictive nature of this drug and the meth crisis is showing up in drug treatment programs," said Mark Weber, an associate administrator for the agency. "They're being overwhelmed
by the number of people showing up for treatment."
Nationwide, the admission rate for treatment of methamphenine or amphetamine abuse rose from 28,000 in 1993 to nearly 136,000 patients in 2003, the report said. The review analyzed data on the approximately 1.8 million patients admitted each year for substance abuse treatment.

Senate: Protests not indicative
TOPEKA — A Senate committee wants to send a strong message that the Rev. Fred Phelps and his followers, who picket funerals of U.S. soldiers, don't represent how Kansans feel.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
A message may be all the Legislature produces against people picketing and protesting funerals, although the Senate last week unanimously passed a bill restricting such activities.
The bill is before House Federal and State Affairs Committee, and Chairman John Edmonds said Wednesday he will decide within the next two weeks whether to schedule a hearing.
Meanwhile, the Senate Federal and State Affairs Committee endorsed a resolution on Wednesday saying the Legislature "condemnns in the strongest manner possible the hateful activities of Mr. Phelps and his followers."
hearing.
"I don't know if I want to create a forum for more outrage, but I may have to," said Edmonds, R-Great Bend. "We know what's in the bill. If there is a hearing, it'll be a short one."
The resolution, which goes to the Senate and has no force of law, also says legislators want the nation to know "that Mr. Phelps and his followers do not reflect the true spirit of the people of Kansas."
Senate Majority Leader Derek Schmidt predicted easy passage of the resolution.
Sponsoring Sen. Karin Brownlee, R-Olathe, called the resolution "a countering statement to Phelps' actions."
"This all gives Kansas a black eye, and we just want to make it clear that the state really is embarrassed by it and objects to it, even if we can't stop it," said Schmidt, R-Independence.
In one statement Wednesday,
The bill doesn't single out Phelps or his followers, but was prompted by their protests at soldiers' funerals around the nation.
America is about "They're coming home in body bags," the statement said, referring to soldiers. "Now God Himself is America's terrorist."
Phelps' church, Westboro Baptist in Topeka, said the resolution caused him to "dance a little impromptu jig" of joy, adding that he counts the measure as "a badge of honor."
Kansas is among at least 17 states working on legislation this year restricting protest activities around funerals, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
Phelps and his followers contend that troops killed in combat are God's vengeance for the U.S. harboring homosexuals. For years, Phelps and members of his independent church, made up mainly of family members, protested funerals of AIDS victims, but now have shifted to soldiers.
The bill doesn't single out Phelps or his followers, but was prompted by their protests at soldiers' funerals around the nation.
badge of honor. "Pastor Phelps and WBC will redouble their Gospel preaching efforts," the statement said.
In an earlier statement faxed Wednesday to news organizations, Phelps' church said, "America is doomed."
The bill bans picketing and protest marches within 300 feet of a funeral one hour before, during and two hours after the service. Violations would be a misdemeanor. State law says only that it's illegal to picket "before or about" a funeral service.

Glitter denies abuse charges
PEOPLE
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
VUNG TAU, Vietnam — British glam rocker Gary Glitter, best-known for the anthemic "Rock & Roll, Part 2" song played at sports arenas worldwide, said he pleaded innocent Thursday to charges of molesting two young Vietnamese girls at his house last year.
Glitter, 61, is accused of committing obscene acts with an 11-year-old girl and a 10-year-old girl at his rented house in the southern port city of Vung Tau.
Glitter, 61, is accused of committing obscene acts with an 11-year-old girl and a 10-year-old girl at his rented house in the southern port city of Vung Tau. He entered the courtroom flashing a "V" for victory sign and saying he was innocent.
Glitter, who won fame in the 1970s with such hits as "Do You Wanna Touch Me," faces three
to seven years in prison if convicted.
Dozens of curious onlookers crowded outside the gates of the courthouse as the armored police carrying Glitter van drove up.
The singer, whose real name is Paul Francis Gadd, was escorted by police through reporters into the yellow concrete courthouse in Ba Ria-Vung Tau province. The trial is closed to the public, but a verdict is expected to be read publicly Friday.
Tau since November. Glitter was escorted out of the court for a lunch break after 3 1/2 hours of testimony. Reporters outside asked him if the girls were lying and if he pleaded innocent, and he nodded yes in response to both.
Glitter had been held at Phuoc Co prison outside Vung
When testimony ended for the day, Glitter was led out of the courtroom, smiling but refusing to comment. Defense attorney Le Thanh Kinh said prosecutors presented their case and recommended that Glitter be sentenced to three to four years in prison before being deported.

"The festival has great jazz performances, great concerts, and it's a chance to learn from some of the best jazz musicians in the world," he said. "I think all jazz lovers will get something out of it."
The concerts featuring middle school, high school and college ensembles will take place between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. in Murphy Hall and are free to the public. The nighttime entertainment will consist of professional jazz players along with members of the KU jazz ensembles and jazz singers, which will range from $10 to $15.

▼ OUR OPINION
Increased fees improve chance of a ride home
Student Senate approved on Wednesday three proposals by KU on Wheels. The measures effectively split the $18 transportation fee so $4 of that would go to SafeRide and $14 to the rest of transportation services. In addition, there will be an increase in the SafeRide fee to $6 and the transportation fee to $16, putting the increase at a total of $4 per student. Lastly, there will be a $5 increase for KU bus passes. These monetary hikes go toward services most of us are familiar with and can agree need improvement SafeRide and the KU bus system
Could another year be complete without another request for more money from students?
- Skideck and the KO doesn't support.
But students shouldn't break out the pitchforks and torches to form an angry mob in protest of the proposed hike in student fees for transportation just yet.
As far as SafeRide goes, it is truly a worthwhile program – especially if it is allowed to operate at its full potential, which this fee increase hopes to allow. We are all familiar with the long waits for service, which is further exacerbated by our state of drunkenness at the time. So how can we expect this service to continue to operate at its current pace – or improve for that matter – without further monetary compensation? This $2 hike would help offset fuel costs and help meet student demand by increasing the number of SafeRide dispatchers, thus cutting down wait time.
Issue: A $4 increase in campus transportation fees
Stance: This could make SafeRide a more reliable service.
The KU bus system also could use the additional funding to compensate for its own increase in fuel costs and operating fees. Already the transportation committee has said it needs to pair down a number of routes again, regardless of receiving extra income or not, just to stay afloat.
Nick Sterner, Shawnee junior and student body president, said the increase still does not cover the entire budgetary needs for the KU bus system, but that it wasn't the senate's place to push everything on students.
Spending another $4 to improve transportation is a reasonable request. Students should understand and accept the increase for KU on Wheels, but with continued vigilance over whether the necessary improvements take place.
— Malinda Osborne for the editorial board
I want to begin by praising the Kansan's editorial board for returning the debate in science back to the field of science in its editorial from Tuesday. In most discussions on the theory of evolution, "evolution" gets much more attention than "theory." To read a calm editorial presenting evolution as a theory was quite refreshing.
LETTER TO THE EDITOP
Scientists should evolve attitudes about criticism
The fact of the matter is, if one doesn't want to allow for the existence of God, he or she is perfectly able to do so. I would say that the primary reason evolution has received the label of "godless" or anti-religion is that the most adamant proponents of evolution do not treat it as a scientific theory, but as anti-religious dogma. My own experience in high school biology was a perfect example. My "teacher" was so offended by the thought of anyone referring to evolution as anything but fact that he periodically mocked students who raised questions about evolution or treated it as a scientific theory.
I have encountered many proponents of evolution who react this same way—not to say that every scientist behaves like that. If someone is personally threatened when intelligent scientific critique is applied to evolution, then he or she is no more of a scientist than a priest. Evolution is not meant to be a belief system; it is a scientific theory. It has not been proven like other theories, like gravity, which we now know as law. And it is not one unified theory. There are, in fact, so many different theories of evolution that virtually no group of scientists would agree on the same one.
So let religion continue as it has - it requires neither proof nor disproof. And I will gladly let scientists continue to honestly and objectively experiment and test evolution.
The mad cow disease scare was great! No one will want to eat you if you tell them you have bird flu!

'Brokeback Mountain' deserves recognition
COMMENTARY
It's up for eight, and here are some reasons why I think "Brokeback Mountain" should walk away with at least three of the main awards it's up for: best picture, best director and Michelle Williams for best supporting actress. I also think it should win for best adapted screenplay. The other awards it is nominated for are Heath Ledger for best actor, Jake Gyllenhaal for best supporting actor, cinematography and original score. Here are some reasons why "Brokeback Mountain" should win:
The buzz around "Brokeback Mountain" has been making its way around the world since before its Dec. 9 release.
1. The gay cowboys, played by Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal, have already stolen the hearts of Americans and Brits.
Now, only two days before the 78th annual Academy Awards, it's time to see if the controversial film will live up to all the hype and actually win awards.
YUANDA LEIHEN
"Brokeback Mountain" is no stranger to being recognized as a great film. It is already the recipient of many prestigious awards. On this side of the Atlantic Ocean, it won four Golden Globe awards earlier this year, including best motion picture drama. At the Orange British Academy Film Awards in the United Kingdom, "Brokeback Mountain" also took away four.
At both of these award shows, the film was up against other actors, actresses and films that are other
ERIN WILEY opinion@kansan.com nominees this week
2. "Brokeback Mountain" has shaken up the pop culture world.
This film has made more of an impact on the American pop culture front than any other nominees in the best film category. The jokes and parodies are out there. "Brokeback Mountain" hasn't escaped much.
It is even featured on one man's Web site, www. destinationdaniel.com. He recreated scenes from the film, out of Legos. Search for "Lego Brokeback Mountain" on Google.com to check this out. He's received national media attention for his creation, being mentioned in the Seattle Times. His version is creative and shows his love for the film.
Because 'Brokeback Mountain' has been out in the public eye so much, it is the most recognized of the films, which puts it out front to win.
3. Breaking down social barriers.
This film may not be the first movie about gay cowboys, but it is the one that the current generation of moviegoers recognizes.
"Brokeback Mountain" is an amazingly sweet love story. When watching it I completely forgot it was two men. I just enjoyed seeing
two people and the love they shared for one other.
Another barrier the movie is breaking down is the idea that gay men can't be cowboys. A letter in USA Today earlier this week by a man from Texas said he found it laughable to see gay men playing ranch hands. When I read this, I was taken aback.
I worked on a mountain ranch setting this summer, with a wrangler, who just so happened to be gay. He was a damn fine wrangler, and I'm sure he wouldn't have found this man's letter laughable had he read it.
For him, and all the other people who hate that society is laughing at the idea of this film, it should win.
4. Win something of your own
Here at the University of Kansas, Student Union Activities is throwing its own Oscar Party. According to its Web site, it's giving away awards for best and worst dressed. Take advantage of this and try to win best dressed by donning the coolest cowboy duos, or win worst dressed by adorning Anne Hathaway's bleach blonde hair-do. This way even if the Academy ignores "Brokeback Mountain," it still wins awards!
If all these reasons aren't good enough for "Brokeback Mountain" to win at least one Oscar on Sunday, here are three reasons to enjoy this movie anyway. Good-looking men. Tight jeans. Cowboy hats.

COMMENTARY
Being the ripe and wise old age of 20, I always find myself assuming that I am infallible and indestructible. My lifestyle reflects this philosophy. I pull all-nighters involving surely lethal amounts of green tea and dark chocolate. I walk at night armed with only a cell phone, some orbit gum and a worn copy of Emily Dickenson through areas that my mother would probably have a hernia if she knew I ventured in without an armored guard or in the pope mobile. Believe me; eating my home-cooked culinary concoctions is enough to show how I live on the edge.
Recently I had a run with death, an experience that has left me nightmarish, thankful and with the nagging reminder that I am not the immortal woman of steel I always assumed I was.
While driving home last weekend the car in front of me kindly decided to turn without a turn signal. Not prepared for this stop, I had three not very appealing choices to make. Either run into a ditch at 70 miles an hour, hit a moving car or brake into the slow moving automobile in front of me. All of you accident survivors know the horrific and unreal seconds before a collision. My hood and the driver's side were unrecognizably smashed like crumbled white paper, in a sickening crutch that sounded like breaking bones. I needed help later to exit the car.
My ancient air bags now made evident that they were out of order. My face would have made a messy and lethal impact with the wind-shield if I hadn't been wearing — you guessed it — a seat belt.
I know, I know, you don't read the newspaper to be nagged about obvious common sense issues. You have parental units to do that. Still, according to the U.S. department of transportation, 20 percent of Americans still don't buckle up.
Something as simple as remembering to buckle up reduces the risk of injury by 65 percent. Additionally, two-thirds of those killed in automobile accidents had forgotten to buckle up.
Although this may seem like old and irrelevant information, my split second decision to wear a seat belt saved my life. Remember. On those days when you are in a hurry or only have a short distance to go, strap yourself in. Something as simple as remembering to wear a sit belt is the only reason I am able to write this article. BUCKLE UP!

Senior guard, Erica Hallman looks to pass around Wildcat defenders during Thursday night's game at Allen Fieldhouse. The Jayhawks lost their last home game of the season to the Wildcats 62-44.
---
"I thought she missed three easy shots, so I let her collect herself and let her get back in," Henrickson said.
Kemp was still able to finish as the top scorer with 19 points. The Jayhawk three-point shooters were not as lucky, missing all nine of their attempts.
"I got open looks, I just didn't knock them down," Hallman said.
Senior guard Kaylee Brown played 35 scoreless minutes, fighting an ankle injury that has kept her out of practice this week. She said the team didn't lose its confidence after falling behind early.
During the game in Manhattan on Jan. 25, the Jayhawks came back from a similar lead, something the Wildcat players said they hadn't forgotten. Kansas State played like a team on a mission, improving its conference record to 8-8, and giving the team a chance to make the NCAA tournament if it can pull off a third victory against Kansas next Tuesday.
"I had faith we were going to make a run," she said. "I had faith we were going to come back, but it didn't happen."
The prediction by Kansas State senior Jessica McFarland that Allen Fieldhouse would become "Bramlage East" didn't come true. Of the 5,000 fans, only about a third were wearing purple. That was still enough for the Wildcat players to receive a loud ovation while dancing on the court after the game.
"It was definitely a great atmosphere," Wildcat freshman forward Marlies Gipson said. "They tried to bring in some fans and shake us a little bit."
Junior forward Claire Coggins led the team with 15 points. Through the final minutes of the game, she was high-fiving teammates and running around with a large smile on her face.
"We were really pumped tonight," she said. "It's always good to win at KU."
The players currently on the Wildcat roster don't know any alternatives. Kansas State has won the last 10 meeting between the two teams. Henrickson is already working to ensure that streak doesn't continue into the future. She invited Danielle McCray, who will join the Jayhawks next year as a freshman, into the locker room to let her experience what it is like to be a part of the rivalry.

mish out that they called “I’m disappointed that it ended this way.” Kemp said. “I've had a pretty good four years here and hopefully we'll give our young teammates a chance to turn it around.”
As the clock wound down, the frustration on the seniors' faces was evident. A 10th straight loss to Kansas State on senior night was not the way they hoped to

tions, they admitted it had affected them throughout the day.
The match against the Red Raiders will be the first Big 12 match of the season for the Jayhawks. Kansas currently has a record of 5-2, while Texas Tech's record is 6-4 and 1-1 in the Big 12.
For Kansas, the match will be the fourth consecutive match in which the team will face an opponent ranked No. 75 or higher, according to the International Tennis Association.

game, you' re not thinking about anything, and everything just comes natural," said Simpson, who occasionally plays in the outfield. "But if you're DH, you got to have a real good mindset to be able to succeed."
“It's a lot harder coming off the bench as a DH because you've got to do stuff like jog between innings, like swing the bat, just to keep loose,” Simpson said.
Price said it would be ideal to have the DH in the middle of the batting order to provide a physical presence, but he has penciled the DH into the eighth slot in nine games because of the lack of production from the position. DH's have hit only as high as the fifth spot in two games. Position players are in the game from the first pitch on, DHs only step on the field when it's their turn to bat.
The four are still adjusting to the role of designated hitter, as their sub-par power numbers show.

Allman may get more time at the plate as a position player because of injuries to Jayhawk outfielders. Senior left fielder Matt Baty collided with junior center fielder Kyle Murphy in a game last weekend. Baty was injured and is unable to play, opening a spot in the outfield that Allman is most likely to fill.
is most likely to hit.
As for the DH spot, Price said there was no leading candidate to permanently fill the spot. Price said he would consider who was swinging the hottest bat in practice and try to match up a right-handed hitter against a left-handed pitcher and vice versa. However, with the options being freshmen and sophomores, Price said he was tempering his expectations for now.
Henrickson pulled the seniors
"They have a chance to help us," Price said. "We understand the development process. They're not going to step in and help us immediately. They're not ready yet."

After 60 years, Max shines once again
"There's nothing better than going to a ball game and sitting next to your buddy," Bob Davis said. "And I've been sitting next to the same buddy for 22 years."
The words from Davis, play-by-play announcer for the Jayhawk Radio Network, don't even begin to describe the scene in Allen Fieldhouse Wednesday night. Yeah, 22 years is a long time to call a game with one guy. But Davis was not the only guy Max Falkenstien has sat with. Max was broadcasting Kansas basketball games for 38 years before Davis.
The evening was great all-around for Kansas. It contained a 75-54 Kansas victory against Colorado, four senior-night speeches, and a 46-43 Texas A&M triumph against Texas that put the Jayhawks back in a first place conference tie with the Longhorns. But even with all that fun going on, Max was the
TIM HALL
thall@kansan.com
best. It was his night all the way.
Just try to fathom for one minute Max's career.
He was there in the days of Hoch Auditorium, where the Jayhawks played from 1927 to 1955. He was here when Phog Allen, the man whom Allen Fieldhouse is named after, was still coaching. He was here when the fieldhouse opened in 1955 and has broadcast every men's game there. Ever. He was here through names like Lovellette, Chamberlain, Bridges, Jo Jo, Wesley, Stallworth, Robisch, Manning, LaFrentz, Vaughn, Collison, and Hinrich. Sixty years.
For 60 years, Max sat down at press row and called Kansas basketball and football games. He struck gold with one of the best jobs on the planet. He went to KU games with a "buddy" and got paid for it. It doesn't get any better than that. And it doesn't get any better than Wednesday night either.
The halftime ceremony when Max's jersey was dropped from the rafters will go down as one of the most memorable moments in Allen Fieldhouse history. I give credit to Max for holding back tears. It was hard enough for me to keep from bowling from the stands.
Being an aspiring sports broadcaster myself made that presentation that much more special to me. To be able to see how good of a friendship Bob and Max have is a wonderful thing. Those two were able to go to every KU basketball game and football game together for 22 years.
"In 22 years of broadcasting
we never had a disagreement," Max said. "We had thousands of laughs, a few tears, great victories, crushing defeats. I'll miss Bob Davis."
It put a smile on my face to hear Max say those things. To work with your good friend for that long and to go watch basketball and football and get paid for it, well that's the life. It makes me want to do it even more.
So the legend will step down and retire after 60 years at KU. It's a number that I still can't comprehend. His name is now hanging in glory in the rafters in Allen Fieldhouse with all the other greats, where it belongs. The broadcasts just won't be the same without you, Max. Though we'll miss you, I wish you the best. And just for you, I'll end this column the same way you ended your speech: Go 'Hawks!'

SOCCER
First game gives opportunity to new starters
MARK DENT
mdent@kansan.com
On Saturday, the Kansas soccer team will be exposed to something it hasn't seen in the first three weeks of practice: a game with the correct numbers of players.
"Practice has been going well so far, but we barely have enough numbers to scrimmage," junior defender Holly Gault said.
Spring practices started on Feb.13, but the Jayhawks had been working out with a new weight coach multiple days of the week before then.
S
Kansas lost five starters from last season's squad, and its lack of depth during practices has only brought more excitement for Saturday's game against Minnesota at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex. It will be the Jayhawks' first of five games during the spring season.
Spring practices started on Feb. 13, but the Jayhawks had been working out with a new weight coach multiple days of
the week before then.
Kansas' opponent is also a young team, featuring 14 freshmen and three sophomores. The Golden Gophers finished fifth in the Big 10 this season with a 9-8-2 overall record and 6-4-0 record in conference. They lost to Illinois in the first round of the Big 10 Tournament and did not qualify for the NCAA tournament. All but three of Minnesota's games were decided by one goal last fall, and the Gophers forced seven shut-outs.
"I don't know much about Minnesota, because we didn't play them last fall," coach Mark Francis said. "I just know the girls have
been training for three weeks and need to play someone else."
After bowing out in the first round of the Big 12 Tournament to Nebraska, Kansas did not receive a trip to the NCAA tournament after making it for two straight seasons.
Gone are five seniors, including all-time Kansas leading scorer Caroline Smith, Jessica Smith, Kimberly Kartoffa, Nicole Braman, and Erin Ferguson.
Although the seniors will be missed this spring, returning players include a defensive core of AllBig 12 first team selection junior Holly Gault, junior Nikki Alvarez, sophomore Afton Sauer, and freshman Jenny Murtaugh. Along with goalkeepers sophomore Colleen Quinn and freshman Julie Hanley, the defense teamed up to force eight shut-outs last fall.
Uncertainty about this spring's Kansas squad and Saturday's opponent aside, the Jayhawks are ready to play.
Also still with the Jayhawks are All-Big 12 Newcomer selections freshmen Jessica Bush and Missy Geha.
Francis said the team had played well in practice.
"It will be exciting to watch them play someone."

TRACK AND FIELD Saturdays's qualifier last shot at tournament
The Kansas track and field team will head to Ames, Iowa, on Saturday for the Cyclone National Track and Field Qualifier.
This meet will be the last opportunity for athletes to qualify for the NCAA Indoor Championships March 10-11 in Favetteville, Ark.
Iowa State, Oregon, TCU, Texas Tech, Kentucky and Arizona State are among the teams competing on Saturday. The Jayhawk men's team is ranked No. 11 on the trackwire.com Web site for this week. Senior thrower Sheldon Battle qualified in the shot put for the Indoor Championships in January at the Arkansas Invitational. Battle and sophomore Egor Agafonov qualified in the weight throw in February at the Husker Invitational. Senior mid-distance runner Benson Chesang ran a provisionally qualifying time in the 3000-meter run of 8:00.83 to qualify for the Championships as well. Other qualifiers were senior Charisse Bachus in the long jump, senior Aaron Thompson in the 60-meter hurdles and sophomore Colby Wissel in the 3000-meter run.

SOFTBALL Hawks face five teams on three-day road trip
The Kansas softball team (5-9) will set out for another stop on its month-long road trip this weekend at the Best Western Airport Festival in Tulsa, Okla. In the three-day event at the Donna J. Hardesty Sports Complex, the Jayhawks will face five teams: Northern Iowa, Notre Dame, No. 17 Nebraska, Stephen F. Austin, and Tulsa. Kansas will end its tournament run with this road trip, the last of four. The Jayhawks are scheduled to play 60 regular season games this season. Only 22 of those are home games. Before coming home on March 8 against Missouri State, the team will be on the road for 20 games.

Kansas returns to battle with Western Illinois
BY ALISSA BAUER

WAKE STATE UNIVERSITY
Four weeks, 14 games and more than 14,000 road trip miles into the season. Kansas is playing at home for the first time.
time.
For the fourth consecutive season, Kansas (10-4) will face Western Illinois (2-6) in the first weekend of March.
Although the Jayhawks have spent the past month visiting places known to be slightly more fun than Kansas, the guys are ready to come home.
"It'll be a really big series for us," coach Ritch Price said. "We're just thrilled not to be traveling."
Instead, the Leathernecks will be stopping off in Lawrence in the middle of their own road trip. The team's first eight games were all on the road, including six straight games against Big 12 Conference teams.
While the Jayhawks spent some time in Nashville, Tenn., the Leathernecks had their hands full in Stillwater, Okla. Oklahoma State took all three games, outscoring Western Illinois 36-9 in the process.
"I have a lot of respect for him." Price said of Western Illinois coach Stan Hyman. "He plays an incredible schedule. He's biting it off big time on the

road, like we've done in the last month."
by a single girl.
"It's an important weekend so we can get three wins hopefully, and get our confidence up for Clemson next weekend," said senior first baseman Jared Schweitzer.
With the possibility of sitting as many as three starters on the bench this weekend, Kansas will have to fill holes usually manned by veterans.
Sophomore second baseman Ryne Price may join his brother, Ritchie, in the middle infield again tonight after missing the last two games in Nashville. Coach Price said earlier this week that MRI results would play a big role in deciding who would start at second base.
Sophomore outfielders John Allman and Brock Simpson are the likely candidates to take right and left field if junior centerfender Kyle Murphy is unable to start after enduring stitches to his nose and mouth because of collision with senior outfielder Matt Baty last weekend.
In that case, senior outfitfelder Gus Milner would predictably be in centerfield.
"Any team is going to face adversity during the course of a season." Price said in regard to his injury-plagued lineup. "It gives other kids the opportunity to play. Some of those guys have been waiting
for this chance. They're going to get it and they've got their hands full."
Healthy and slugging away, Milner and Schweitzer lead the Kansas offense with .411 and .390 batting averages respectively.
As for the Leathernecks, senior shortstop Ryan Schmidgall led his team against the Cowboys last weekend. Schmidgall played the two games at shortstop, going 4-7 with three singles and a triple.
Saturday
Injured, tired of traveling and excited to play at home taps into the vibe of this afternoon's opener. Forcing injuries out of focus, Price and his team are ready to play.
After taking over in centerfield for the past two games last weekend, Milner drove in five runs, adding to his teamleading 24 RBI. Not seeming to mind what position or what opponent he's playing, Milner quickly discussed the Leathernecks.
The multi-talented Schmidgall also threw 2.1 innings of relief, allowing no runs on four hits against Oklahoma State last Sunday.
"We beat them last year, that's all I know," Milner said. "But finally we get to stay home for a weekend."
"Now we've got to find a way to play through it," Price said of his injured starters. "It's over, it's done with and now we have got to move on."

Injuries
"Off the field he's like our best friend," Allman said of Baty. "You hate to see a guy go down like that, and I know that if I was in his shoes that he would step up for me. I'm just going to go out there and play for him."
Senior outfielder Gus Milner took over in center for Murphy. Milner, who typically plays right field, hit .300 in the last two games of the weekend and drove in five runs.
"I like to think of myself as just a backup center fielder playing right," Milner said. "I'm pretty comfortable there. I've been playing there my whole life till I got here. Losing Matt is going to be a big hole to fill."
Utility sophomore Brock Simpson may also be called upon to start. After the rash of injuries, Simpson stepped up to hit 3-of-8 with three RBL. Although he has just seven starts on the year, Simpson is hitting a solid .308. Simpson said he had no idea if he'd start this afternoon's game against Western Illinois.
A strained wrist ligament forced Ryne Price to sit out games two and three of last weekend in Nashville. Coach Price was awaiting results on an MRI on Wednesday to determine his son's status for this weekend. The coach has not yet determined when Ryne Price will return to the lineup. Sophomore Matt Berner doesn't have the same experience, but his first two career starts this weekend gave him an opportunity to fill Price's role at second. Berner went 1-of-5 and drove in four in his two starts.
"It's hard to walk into the dugout each day and see where you are at on the lineup card, but I've gotten as used to it as I think I can," Simpson said.

GAMEDAY
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 11
Game could deliver Big 12 title KU Kansas vs. Kansas State KSU Tip-off 3 p.m. Saturday, Bramlage Coliseum Tip-off
AT A GLANCE
Kansas has won 18 of its past 21 games, making it one of the hottest teams in the nation. Kansas has begun to get more offensive production from its front court players, with sophomore center CJ Giles becoming more of an offensive threat. Freshman forward Julian Wright is arguably the most exciting player wearing a Kansas uniform. His great passes and spectacular dunks make him a focal point on any Kansas highlight real.
Kansas used stellar defense to top Colorado, 75-54, Wednesday in Allen Fieldhouse. Kansas forced 11 steals and held Colorado to just 31 percent shooting. Colorado missed 22 of its first 23 shots after coming into the game as the conference's highest scoring team. Kansas got four players in double figures including freshman guard Mario Chalmers, who scored a team-high 14 points.
PLAYER TO WATCH
LAST TIME OUT
CJ Giles. He is probably the most integral player to a post-season run. Even though Giles does not start, Kansas needs his production to make a serious run in the NCAA tournament. Giles is now playing like the player he was expected to be when the season began. He gets offensive production and has become a force on defense, pulling down rebounds and blocking shots. Giles needs to keep that up Saturday against Kansas State to give him confidence heading into tournament play.
5 QUICK FACTS
48 - Conference titles for
48 - Conference titles for Kansas in its history of playing basketball. A victory tomorrow would ensure a 49th.
18 - Kansas victories in its past 21 games.
4 - Players in double figures in Kansas' game against Colorado.
0 -Times Kansas has lost at Kansas State's Bramlage Coliseum.
1 - Loss when Kansas starts three freshmen.
KEY TO VICTORY
Gain control of the glass. During Kansas' past two games, it has been dominated on the glass. Against Colorado it allowed 22 offensive rebounds, leading to second chance points for Colorado. Come tournament time, The Jayhawks will not be so lucky if they allow the opposition to dictate the pace via their play on the boards. Both nearly seven feet tall, centers Sasha Kaun and Giles will need to pick up the majority of the rebounding totals and Julian Wright will need to be more aggressive to play an active role in rebounding the basketball.
Kansas
OFFENSE
The Kansas offense hit 11 three-pointers in its last outing against Colorado. It will likely need to be just as hot Saturday, with Kansas State likely throwing a zone defense at Kansas. The last time these two teams met, the zone was the end of the Jayhawks, with them struggling to find any offensive continuity when the Wildcats played zone. Freshmen guards Brandon Rush and Mario Chalmers will be the two most likely players to help beat the zone. Rush is shooting better than 50 percent from beyond the arc this season. Kansas will also need to change it up by going inside to sophomore center Sasha Kaun and forward CJ Giles and then potentially kick the ball back out to their perimeter players. Giles has been more active on the boards and has been showcasing a 12-foot jumper, making him harder to guard.
Kansas State
OFFENSE
KU KU KU
DEFENSE
Offensively, Kansas State is an average team. The Wildcats are seventh in the conference in scoring with 69 points per game. Junior guard forward Cartier Martin is the team's leading scorer. He averages 18.3 points per game and is shooting 44 percent from three-point distance. In the first game against Kansas, Martin had 14 points on 6-11 shooting from the field. Overall, the team shot 45 percent from the field. Guard Clent Stewart led the team with 15 points on 5-8 shooting in Kansas State's 59-55 victory against Kansas in January. Stewart is averaging just 4.9 points per game this season. The team's second-leading scorer is David Hoskins, who is averaging 12.8 points per game. Hoskins had just six points and five assists the last time these two teams played. The wildcard for Kansas State on offense is Lance Harris. Harris is capable of scoring 20 points on any night, but sometimes he can be shut out as well.
The Kansas defense probably had its most impressive outing against Colorado, holding the Buffaloes to just 31 percent shooting. Kansas forced Colorado to miss 22 of its first 23 shots in route to building a double-digit lead early. Kansas also stole the ball 11 times, with Chalmers getting five. He leads the Big 12 in that category. Expect Kansas to pressure Kansas State early, hoping to force turnovers and get easy points in transition. The Jayhawks are allowing the lowest shooting percentage by their opponents in the conference. Kansas must stop junior guard/forward Cartier Martin Saturday if it's going to dominate Kansas State.
CCC
KU KU KU
COACHES
DEFENSE
Kansas State's zone defense was too much for Kansas the first time around, and it frustrated the team the whole game. Kansas State forced 16 Kansas turnovers last game, with nine of them coming from freshmen Mario Chalmers and Brandon Rush. The zone forced Kansas to settle for outside shots, rather than easy buckets inside with the Kansas big men. Kansas shot just 5-20 from three-point distance the first game, due in large part to Kansas State's zone. On the year, Kansas State is fifth in the conference in scoring defense, allowing 63.4 points per game. Forward Dramane Diarra leads the team with 41 blocks and ranks fifth in the conference with 1.58 blocked shots per game.
There is no doubt that Kansas coach Bill Self will have his Jayhawks mentally focused for this game. He should need to say little about the Wildcats to get his players fired up after they beat the Jayhawks at Allen Fieldhouse in January. Not only is revenge on the agenda, but first place in the Big 12 Conference is at stake also. A Kansas victory would guarantee at least a share of the conference title. A victory with a Texas loss would give the title

Jim Wooldridge is in his sixth and possibly last season as head coach of Kansas State. Wooldridge has struggled at the school after having successful turnarounds at Central Missouri
State, Louisiana Tech and Texas State. Wooldridge has been rumored to be on the hot seat, as it looks like, barring a miracle, Kansas State will miss out on the NCAA tournament again this
nationally for his coaching this season.

Wooldridge had to miss a couple of games earlier in the season because of a surgery he had to repair a disc in his neck. The trouble didn't stop there for Wooldridge. He was fined last week after Kansas State's one-point loss to Oklahoma for criticizing the officials. When Kansas State beat Kansas in January, it marked the first time a Wooldridge-coached team beat Kansas.
CA
ATAGLANCI
It's been a tough year for Kansas State. The team came into the season thinking NCAA tournament and is now hoping it can qualify for the NIT. Kansas State suffered two losses by a total of two points last week to nationally ranked Texas and Oklahoma. Besides the pair of one-point losses, Kansas State also has two-point losses to Oklahoma State, Baylor and Iowa State. The team also has a three-point loss to Missouri, the only game the Tigers have won since former head coach Quin Snyder resigned.
LAST TIME OUT
Kansas State was finally on the winning end of a close ball game. Kansas State went on the road and defeated Nebraska 66-64. Junior guard/forward Cartier Martin scored five points in the game's final 27 seconds to secure the victory. Martin led the team with 16 points while sophomore guard/forward David Hoskins contributed 14 points. After Nebraska guard Jamel White stole the ball and hit a three-point shot to cut the lead to one point with 3.1 seconds left, Martin hit a free throw to seal the deal. White's last-second attempt was blocked by guard Akeem Wright.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Martin. He is clearly the most athletic player on the team. He didn't have a huge game against Kansas the first time out, but played well enough to help the team get a victory. It will be the K-State's final home game of the year, and Martin will be doing everything in his power to send the seniors out with a season sweep of Kansas. Look for Brandon Rush to guard Martin. Whoever wins that battle could lead his team to victory.
5 QUICK FACTS
19 — Kansas State's turnovers last time against Kansas. Despite winning, Kansas State committed three more turnovers than Kansas.
23-51 — Kansas State shot less than 50 percent last time against Kansas, but its zone defense was good enough to win.
47. 8 Martin's field goal percentage, seventh in the conference.
13-3 — Kansas State's record this season at Bramlage Coliseum this season. Kansas State hasn't beaten Kansas at home since 1983.
1-12 — Wooldridge's record
1-12 - Wooldridge's record all-time against Kansas.
KEY TO VICTORY
Zone. It's all about the zone defense. Kansas has improved against it this year with freshman Mario Chalmers leading the way with his outside shooting. If Kansas State can force Kansas to put up bad shots from the outside and limit its penetration, Kansas State could steal a victory. If Kansas can play through Kansas State's zone, it will not have enough offensive firepower to stay with Kansas.

This is a must-win game for Colorado. The team looked like a no-brainer for the NCAA tournament a month ago. After being hammered by Kansas by 21 points, Colorado may be on the outside looking in. A loss to Iowa State would kill its chances at postseason play. Iowa State is looking to finish the season on a high note. The Cyclones have struggled this season and have limped to a 6-9 record in conference play. Two of the league's top scorers will face off when sophomore guard Richard Roby from Colorado and junior guard Curtis Stinson from Iowa State play against each other.

10 straight for 'Cats; but teams to rematch in Big 12 tournament

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
After a disappointing 62-44 loss on senior night, the Kansas women's basketball team received some good news. This isn't the end.
The Jayhawks will get an opportunity to break the Wildcats 10-game Sunflower Showdown winning streak Tuesday night in Dallas at the Big 12 tournament, where the two teams will meet in the first round.
The Jayhawks let the Wildcats have their way early, falling behind 11-4 by the time Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson used a timeout.
"That's the only good thing that came out of tonight," senior guard Erica Hallman said. "They outworked us, and it shows in probably every category on the stat sheet."
The lead increased to 13 with 8 minutes to play, and the Wildcats never looked back. Things became so bad that Henrickson benched senior forward Crystal Kemp, although only briefly.

Defeat makes senior night ceremonies a somber affair
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
rschneider@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR SWITWRITER
Erica Hallman fought back tears,biting her lower lip as she stood at center court with her family.
As she was joined on the floor by her teammates, the tears began to stream. She knew holding back her emotions would be tough, but following a disappointing loss to Kansas State, it was hard not to cry.
"It was just really emotional," Hallman said. "It's hard to face the fact that we're not going to play in there again after I have for four years in a row."
Kansas' three seniors, guards
Hallman and Kaylee Brown and forward Crystal Kemp entered the night with a chance to make history. The senior class had never beaten Kansas State, and a victory on senior night would be even sweeter. Instead, it was the cruelest ending to a nearly perfect script.
Following the loss, the postgame ceremony that was intended to celebrate the accomplishments of the senior class became a somber affair.
Henrickson continued her personal tradition of recognizing the seniors following the game, hoping to minimize the
"There's not a lot that's comforting right there," Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said.
emotions of a pre-game ceremony. After a short video tribute, the seniors' families presented them with a framed jersey. Unlike the men's team, they did not address the crowd.
Henrickson said it would have been difficult for the team to speak after the game because of their emotions.
For most of the game, Brown, Hallman and Kemp struggled to find a rhythm on offense. Kemp fought off double teams all evening and touched the ball only twice in the first 13 minutes. Hallman struggled to consistently knock down shots and missed several open jump shots.

Injuries strike out three starters
BY ALISSA BAUER
abauer@kansan.com
kansanSTAFF WRITER
When seven starters return to an experienced team, setting a starting lineup isn't too much of a challenge.
In 14 games this season, only four players have made a constant appearance in the Kansas baseball starting lineup.
After last weekend in Nashville, Tenn., senior outfielder Matt Baty, junior outfielder Kyle Murphy and sophomore second baseman Ryne Price returned to Lawrence having spent a large chunk of the Music City Challenge injured on the bench.
Blame injuries.
"I think the great thing about this team is that we don't have any egos," Price said. "You get a guy like Matt Baty who's a team captain and a special leader. It's not about him. He got out of the hospital last night and he's sitting here watching practice. That speaks volumes about him."
Monday's news of Baty being out for an indefinite length of time drew attention to other significant injuries. After a collision with Murphy, Baty was hospitalized for lacerations on his spleen and kidney, he said in a release on Wednesday. The incident didn't keep Baty away from the team, leading up to today's game against Western Illinois.
"It was a really tough, emotional weekend for myself and for my club." Kansas coach Ritch Price said. "Sunday against Vanderbilt was a great win. We literally won without three starting position players on the field."
Murphy was on the other end of the diving collision that put Baty out. Murphy had more than 40 stitches in his nose and mouth after the collision. He did not play again until the last three outs of last weekend in Nashville.
Murphy's status for today is uncertain. Murphy was already playing a backup role before he required a backup himself. The junior came in to replace Baty in center field against Stanford because he had more mobility at the time. Baty moved to left. Now with two-thirds of his outfield battling injury, Price must decide who will step up in their absence. Sophomore outfielder John Allman took over for Baty in left field against Lipscomb and Vanderbilt last weekend. He has 12 starts this year. Allman went 2-of-7 and scored three times in two games in left field.

▼ SAFETY
Crossing poses safety concerns
BY MIKE MOSTAFFA
mmostaffa@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Last October, as Andrew Kong turned left at a fourway stop on Irving Hil Road in his 97 Ford Windstar minivan, he slammed on his brakes when he saw a girl in the middle of the crosswalk.
It was too late. Kong, Lawrence freshman, hit a girl talking on her cell phone.
Kong said she "appeared from out of nowhere." Kong said the girl was not hurt, refused medical attention and went to her next class. Kong received a citation for failing to yield to a pedestrian.
No pedestrian shall suddenly leave a curb or other place of safety and walk into the path of a vehicle which is so close as to constitute an immediate hazard.
"She was still talking on the phone and she kept saying 'Oh my God, I just got bit by'
God, I just got hit by a car," Kong said.
With thousands of KU students on campus rushing to their classes, pedestrians struck by cars at crosswalks is not unheard of.
According to records from the KU Public Safety Office, since 2004, seven pedestrians have been hit by cars using crosswalks on campus.
cars using cranes
The latest incident occurred Feb. 23 when a KU librarian was struck using a crosswalk east of the Campanile.
In accidents like Kong's, determining whether the pedestrian or the vehicle had the right-of-way is not always easy.
According to Part A of Section 64 of the Standard Traffic Ordinance for Kansas Cities "the driver of a vehicle shall yield the right-of-way" to a pedestrian "crossing the roadway within a crosswalk."
However, Part B of the same section states "No pedestrian shall suddenly leave a curb or other place of safety and walk into the path of a vehicle which is so close as to constitute an immediate hazard." Capt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office said that the majority of the responsibility was usually on the driver, but in some instances pedestrians who were not naving attention were at fault.
"The car has to have the chance the chance to stop," Bailey said...
ger issue that he is the best person to "Everyone is doing other things," he said. "When those other things take precedent over paying attention, that is when we have a problem."
WWW.KANSAN.COM
Bailey said that the increasing use of cell phones and iPods on campus has made crosswalk safety a bigger issue then it has been in the past.
Kong said he felt terrible about the accident. Kong said that he found the girl's name in the police report and sent her flowers and candy.

New lot will benefit students

The new Park and Ride lot on West Campus has been under construction since Feb. 13, with University of Kansas

The plan is for the buses to loop Becker Drive, running from 7 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. on weekdays, but these plans haven't been finalized yet.
Shenk Complex, on the corner of Iowa Street and Clinton Parkway, borders where the lot is being built.
The complex is part of the land owned by Kansas University Endowment Association, but used by the Student Recreation and Fitness Center for sport clubs, intramurals and special events.
Recreation Services is determined to cooperate with the construction by not scheduling anything big for the complex this summer, said Mary Chappell, director of Recreation Services.
"The lot is a necessity for the University," Chappell said.

MANHATTAN-Kansas coach Bill Self walked up and down the Kansas bench, giving high fives and hugging his players and assistant coaches.
it was an emotional game for his basketball team. It accomplished something that few predicted would happen when the season began — winning a Big 12 Conference title
"I love this team," Self said following the game. "This was sweeter than any of the other ones I have had because we started 1-2. We were 1-2 and not very good. Guys got confidence, and young guys grew up and we got pretty good late. To me, I have more pride with a team that was not expected to do it and do it than a team that is expected to do it and do it."
Self's Jayhawks were just seconds away from beating in-state rival Wildcats when the celebration began.
Sophomore guard Russell Robinson threw his arms in the air while senior guard Jeff Hawkins held the ball, trying to get the Kansas fans to get loud. The victory guaranteed the Jayhawks at least a share of the Big 12 regular-season title.

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
You known them as blockers and haters, but comedian Mo Rocca calls them "gamekillers." Rocca came to the University of Kansas to present his "Gamekillers 101" tour Saturday night in Bud Hall.
"Gamekillers" are 14 groups of people, 11 men and three women, which include the "balla." "British accent guy" and "the one-upper."
Most of the gamekillers consciously want to destroy the mating game for college students while others inadvertently step in the way.
Rocca, sporting a red pair of pants along with a lab coat, quizzed audience members about their gamekiller knowledge. He also answered numerous questions about the gamekillers, "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" and everything in between.

March 6, 1947 — Daniel H. Spencer, a former professor in the School of Pharmacy at the University of Kansas, sold his home at 1014 Mississippi St. to the Kansas University Endowment Association to be used as student housing. The Endowment Association then rented it to the University for a mere $1,000 per year. Chancellor Deane W. Malott was given the task of naming the house and used an old set of silverware to come up with the name. The silverware was inscribed with "MH," and had been in circulation in Miller Hall. Using Robert Taft's "Across the Years on Mount Oread," he came across Chief Monchosia, a 19th century chief of the Kanza tribe. He named the building Monchosia Hall. After some rearrangements and restructuring of a couple of rooms, the house was set to accommodate 28 women and did to the chagrin

'Dead' man in no mood for jokes after mistake
CLEVELAND-Eighty one-year-old Myron Manders wants the Social Security Administration to know that he still is alive.The problem is,it doesn't seem to be listening.
Last November, Manders was preparing to leave a hospital where he was treated for pneumonia when a social worker said his insurance company would not pay the bill because it believed Manders died on Sept. 1.
"It was a mistake on our part and we are apologetic," he said.
William Jarrett, a Social Security spokesman in Cleveland, said Friday the mistake was due to an erroneous document. He could not disclose the error's source.
Manders' wife, Eunice, remembered that she first reacted to the news of her husband's allied demise with anger and laughter.
Jarrett said Eunice Manders has been paid a survivor's benefit, which he said is now considered an overpayment she will be responsible for paying back.

Elephant at zoo beats woman with trunk
WACO, Texas - A 25-year-old woman climbed past barriers and into an elephant's zoo exhibit, then crawled out with minor injuries after the 6,000-pound animal smacked her with its trunk.
"That's how an elephant reacts to something they would perceive as a threat," said Cameron Park Zoo director

After saying she wanted to play with the elephant, the woman climbed over a 3-feet-high wood-and-wire fence, scaled an 8-foot-tall artificial rock structure and bypassed an electric wire before jumping into the exhibit Thursday afternoon.

After the woman got out, fire and emergency crews took her to a hospital with minor injuries, including scrapes on her side and arm. Waco Fire Capt. Greg Kistler said the woman was visiting the zoo with a child and another woman.

Weeklong Carnaval celebration to begin
--parades of the Southeast in Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo. Each parade features one of the 12 schools, or groups of Samba. Sometimes an entire community with 1,000 people or more, creates a theme and centers its float around it. The school would also design, make costumes and find music for the parade.
BY ANNE WELTMER

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
An entire favela, or community of Brazilians near Rio de Janeiro put on bright costumes and added the finishing touches to their festooned float. Samba music is already playing in the background. Many of the women on the float already are wearing golden-sequined bikinis, elaborate headaddresses full of red feathers and matching glittery gold sandals with four-inch heels and straps twisted around the leg up to the knee. It's almost time for the Carnaval parade.
The students of the KU Brazilian Student Association are putting on a weeklong Carnival celebration this week for KU students to get a taste of the Brazilian Carnival the week after it actually happened in Brazil.
Festivities will include Samba dance lessons, a traditional cuisine dinner and the finale, the Carnaval party at Abe and Jake's Landing, 8 E. 6th St, on Saturday. It will feature a Brazilian band from California that specializes in traditional Carnival Samba and Axe music.
Rafael Demarco, KU BRASA president and Rio de Janeiro senior, said that although the Carnaval tradition came from the country's Portuguese Catholic roots, the celebration today is like a spring break: people decide where and with whom to spend the holiday.
The entire country shuts down for a week from the Saturday before Mardi Gras to the following Sunday, although most of the festivities stop for Ash Wednesday and then resume on Thursday, Demarco said. Schools also close their doors for the week.
Although each region of Brazil celebrates Carnaval differently, the most famous are the Samba
Terena Silva, last year's KU BRASA president and Recife, Brazil, senior, said that preparation for the parades go on yearround. Most Samba schools are professional organizations, although they do not get paid and have to work another job on the side. Silva said the schools were sponsored by a rich owner, and they made money throughout the year by charging patrons to watch the schools rehearse dances. This enables the schools to pay for the supplies for the parade.
Silva was born in Sao Paulo, but moved to Recife when she was young. She said Northern Carnaval celebrations were less tourist oriented. The Northern Carnaval is "more representative of what Carnaval really is", she said, and she said it was also more similar to Mardi Gras. The people of the villages go out in the streets in costumes and party with the bands.
"People think we run around naked during Carnaval. We don't," Silva said.
She said she's never heard of flashing people to earn beads until her friends from the University told her about it.
"It's really the most depressing time of the year for me," Silva said about being in Kansas during Brazilian Carnaval. She said she had enjoyed the KU BRASA celebration a lot, but she missed her friends at home, who call and remind her how much fun it is back in Brazil.

Tragedy strikes West Virginia again in work site accident
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MOUNDSVILLE, W.Va. — A fire broke out Saturday in a 1,000-foot-tall smokestack under construction at a coalfired power plant, briefly trapping three workers. A fourth was presumed dead, officials said.
PARKING LOTS
Three men working at the top of the stack were plucked off the structure by a Maryland State Police helicopter about 10 p.m. Saturday. They had been trapped for more than two hours above the flames.
The victim was part of a second crew working inside the stack, Marshall County Sheriff John Gruzinskas said. The sheriff initially confirmed the death, then later said the worker was presumed dead "simply because we haven't recovered the remains."
The victim's name was not immediately released.
The three workers trapped at the top of the stack were all in stable condition at area hospitals early Sunday.
"They were able to get on top of the stack and able to secure themselves on the side to stay out of the fire." Gruzinskas said.
Charles P. Saus/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Ground crews were able to communicate with the men by radio, he said, and the three remained "calm" while awaiting rescue.
Rescuers lowered a basket to the smokestack and lifted off each of the three survivors individually, Maryland State Police spokesman Greg Shipley said.
"It was windy, dark, and there was fire and smoke, so that's a challenge for the pilot and the paramedic who's operating the hoist." Shipley said.
Smoke surrounds smokestacks at American Electric Power's Kammer-Mitchell plant south of Moundsville, W.Va., about 68 miles southwest of Pittsburgh, Pa., Sunday. One worker was unaccounted for and three had to be rescued by helicopter from the top of the 1,000-foot-tall smokestack, left, after a fire broke out Saturday during construction work.
The fire broke out at American Electric Power's Kammer
Mitchell plant south of Moundsville, about 68 miles southwest of Pittsburgh.
Fire officials decided to let the fire burn itself out before trying to enter the stack, said Tom Hart, director of Marshall County Emergency Management.
Officials have been assured by AEP that the structure is sound and in no danger of collapsing.
The plant is being upgraded to bring the power station into compliance with federal air pollution regulations. The men were working for contractor Pullman Power Inc.

"We are a young team; not too many people expected much of us, but we just try to go out there and play hard every day and it paid off," Robinson said.
Texas' victory against Oklahoma on Sunday gave it the other share of the conference title
The Jayhawks will have the No. 2 seed in the Big 12 Tournament, starting Thursday.
"I would rather win it outright, there is no doubt about that, but they are still going to get 2006 on the banner up there." Self said.
The celebration spread to the locker room, where even Self joined in the jumping and velling, showing his excitement.
really don't said he was more tired from jumping around in the locker room than he was from his play on the court.
"It was without question the happiest locker room we have had all year because the guys really don't celebrate that much," Self said.
from his play on the court Before this season, Kansas was projected to finish third in the conference, behind Texas and Oklahoma.
Hawkins, who experienced last season's 12-4 conference record, said he enjoyed this title more than last year's.
"I would say it is more special because the one last year, a lot of people said we were going to do that," Hawkins said. "This year means a lot more."
"With three freshmen and two sophomores starting and young guys playing a lot of minutes, it's amazing to me that this team can go 13-3 in this league and a veteran team can go 12-4." Self said. "To think that we have a better record this year than last year is unbelievable."
Kansas withstood a second-half charge by Kansas State, who cut Kansas' 15-point half-time lead to three, midway through the second half.
The Jayhawks responded with clutch three point shooting to put the game out of reach, winning 66-52.
"The way we won today was perfect because we played well, and then they came back and outplayed us and they had to gut it out," Self said.
Bramlage Coliseum, which some Kansas fans have called "Allen Fieldhouse West," continued its hospitable ways, with Kansas winning its 23rd straight game in Manhattan.

Greg Wehl-Stephens/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
A demonstator, right, who refused to give his name, holds up a sign as he moves through a group who marched against pending stricter immigration legislation, in Portland, Ore., Saturday. A boisterous but peaceful march of about 4,000 demonstrators drummed and chanted through downtown Portland, bringing together Hispanic organizations. They were opposed to pending legislation in Congress that would bring stiff increases in migration enforcement.
Chappell's only concern about the construction is the lack of adequate signs and fencing that could result in students from the complex lingering into a dangerous construction zone, retrieving balls that might get kicked or thrown over into the construction.

Lot
Recreation Services will probably have to monitor the fields more closely, she said.
The University's construction team is trying to turn off the underground lines and connections for the complex's sprinkler system in phases, so the field's grass will still be watered. Last summer there were problems with the water connections for the field with the construction for the new Multidisciplinary Research Building.
— Edited by Lindsey St. Clair
The complex has a parking lot for students involved in the field's activities, and the new Park and Ride lot might be able to accustom overflow parking for
these students on the weekends. Construction on the new lot is planned to not interfere with the complex's parking.
Chappell said she was glad that a new stop light would be added at Clinton Parkway and Crestline Drive to help clear up the mess of traffic for students trying to get out of the parking lot. She said she was surprised that there hasn't been more accidents.
The old Park and Ride lot will be used for overflow parking for about 300 cars from Daisy Hill, Hultine said. There will also be room at the Lied Center to have parking for daytime programming.
Other funds from the $55 increase in permit prices will go to capital improvement for the lot's conditions around campus. Hultine said she didn't think that with the new parking spaces, the overselling of parking permits would raise, other than the normal yearly increase.

The presentation featured video footage of college students sharing their thoughts on the gamekillers that exist on campus and how to avoid the hazards connected with gamekillers.
The tour works in conjunction with the Axe Bodyspray commercials, which profile a gamekiller in each advertisement.
Rocca is best known for his correspondent role on "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" and as a contributor on the "Tonight Show with Jay Leno."
"My heart belongs to Lawrence; I am glad to be back. I have no patience for Missouri, and I love sunflowers," Rocca said.
In reference to an incident earlier this year, when he was
seen on the VH1 "I Love the 90s: Part Deux" series wearing a "Rock Chalk" T-shirt and later seen wearing a Kansas State shirt, Rocca said he was happy the ordeal was over.
"I think at this point I am going to wear my Wichita State shirt everywhere I go, keep it on my body. Actually, I'm going tattoo a Jayhawk on my body, like right on my left nip." Rocca said.
Student Union Activities was responsible for bringing Rocca back to the University. This is his first time back since 2004. Katie Smith, the comedy and concerts coordinator, said, "He was really funny, and the audience had a great response," she said. "I loved how he tailored it to KU and how everybody could relate to the show."

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)★★★
The basics, as well as a personal matter,
could be wearing you down. You could
revolt or do something unexpected, causing
others to act up. Be more in touch with
your feelings so that this wild act becomes less necessary. Tonight: Head home.

Gambling pays well but not in our town
gers
Kansas does have four casinos in northeast Kansas but these casinos are owned by Native Americans and the state doesn't receive any revenue from them. Currently Senate leaders have been working on a bill that would allow state-owned casinos and slot machines, and Gov. Kathleen Sebelius supports the idea. According to the Kansas City Star, the plan would call for casinos in Kansas City, Kan., and southeast Kansas.
In celebration of National Awareness Week for Problem Gambling (March 6-12), your Kansas Legislature is currently exploring the option of making gambling legal in the state.
The Kansas Legislature is stuck trying to find a proposal that would not cause serious budget problems but still fund public schools. The effectiveness of funding for public schools provided by casinos can be seen in other states. The Kansas Wins Coalition, a gambling lobbyist group, said 20 percent of casino revenue collected in Missouri went to school children there. In January alone Missouri's casinos paid $36.4 million in state and local government gambling taxes, most of which went to public schools.
At this point, state-owned casinos appear to provide a realistic solution to the school-funding dilemma. Kansans already gamble in surrounding states so they might as well spend their money at home. However, the
Issue: Legalized gambling to fund public schools
Stance: Use casinos to pay for public education, but keep them out of Lawrence.
Legislature should think twice if they ever consider building a casino in Lawrence.
Imagine — if you will — what this city would look like if it were allowed to have gambling: The flashing lights of the Granada would advertise loose nickel slots instead of touring bands; Abe & Jakes could add a casino boat on the Kaw River and KU students would be there throwing away their money on Blackjack and Texas Hold'em.
We agree with the Legislature's attempts to fund schools through legal gambling, but we hope it does not try to establish a casino in Lawrence. Giving students the option to gamble in-state is one thing, but putting it in our backyard is another. That would provide instant access to gambling and an easier incentive for those who wouldn't normally gamble in the first place.
So leave the casinos to the slot jockeys and those with nothing better to do with their free time. They can afford it.

Below are some comments from kansan.com readers regarding the current Evolution vs. Intelligent Design debate:
(Editor's note: The comments below appear unedited and altered. These comments do not necessarily reflect the opinions of The University Dalry Kaenan.)
图
"Evolution is appropriately criticized by proposing and testing alternatives.To date the only proposed alternatives are untestable (often flaky) and hence nonscientific."
"If you wish to know the identity of that man who constitutes the seed, 'designer', or input and output of the universe, read what Christ tells us in Revelation 21:13: '1 am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.' Also Paul in Colossians identifies Christ as our creator: '3y Him all'
things were created: things in heaven and on earth ...; He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together."
Immigrant children deserve rights we take for granted

COMMENTARY
In 2004, the legislature passed a law allowing undocumented immigrants to attend college in Kansas for an in-state rate if they graduated or received a GED after attending a Kansas high school for at least three years and were in the process of applying for U.S. citizenship.
I am grateful to live in America, though I realize that I haven't done anything to earn my spot here. It is by mere chance that I was not born in Haiti, the Congo or another place much less favorable. Some citizens of this country forget that it is luck that enabled them to be Americans. Take, for instance, many members of our state legislature. They apparently have made it a top priority to limit the opportunities of less fortunate citizens of other nations who move here and try to gain access to the opportunities we've had thrust upon us, just because we happened to be born here.
This seems fair. These youth, who probably made no conscious decision of their own to immigrate illegally, are given he same chance other Kansas residents are given: To attend college at a reduced rate.
This can make a big difference. At the University of Kansas, for instance, in-state tuition is about $8,000 cheaper each year than out-of-state tuition. Last fall the law affected 211 students in
Kansas, mostly at community colleges, according to the Lawrence Journal-World.
Last week, a bill that would repeal the 2004 law passed in a Kansas House of Representatives committee. Soon, the House will vote on it. Many of those 211 students are likely a few "yeas" away from toiling away at minimum-wage jobs or heading back to their home countries.
MATT ERICKSON
opinion@kansan.com
Some representatives have argued that allowing undocumented immigrants to receive in-state tuition is unfair because it is giving them a right that out-of-state students, legal citizens, don't have.
This, however, is inaccurate; because it's missing a key detail: the immigrants have to live in Kansas for at least three years before going to college. If any other student were to do the same, he or she would also receive in-state tuition.
Students in Missouri, Nebraska and other states have institutions in their home states where they can also receive in-state tuition. In no way do out-of-state
students have fewer rights or opportunities than the immigrants that this law concerns.
According to the Journal World, Governor Kathleen Sebelius and President Bush both support helping the children of undocumented immigrants receive higher education.
By attending college, these students will become productive citizens who contribute to the economy of Kansas and the United States for years to come.
Put yourself in the shoes of these students. They escaped from poverty in their home countries at a young age. Their families probably still live in below-average economic conditions. They cannot receive federal financial aid. They are doing all they can to become legal citizens.
All they want is the same opportunity afforded their peers: The opportunity to affordably attend college and ensure a prosperous life for themselves.
And our legislators apparently want to take this opportunity away.
We Americans need to realize how lucky we are to be here, and we need to see that we have an obligation to share our freedom and our opportunity with those who aren't as fortunate.

Parking 'problem' has simple solution
The Parking Department is placing the convenience of one group of students over the safety of another. It should make everyone uncomfortable that the parking ordinance was suggested and accepted when this is the end result. It suggests that other policies can slip into action at the risk of the safety of university students. It's worth thinking about. I should know, I've had a lot of time to think about it as I walk up from the stadium.
P
A new ordinance came into effect this past fall that prohibits parking in the lot east of JRP Hall from 4 to 6 a.m. This policy has its greatest affect on the group of students living on West Campus Road. Previously, students living in fraternities and sororites on West Campus Road were able to buy the corresponding parking pass and use the lot as overflow for their own too-crowded lots. The change in rules was meant to deter the students who live on campus from using the lot for long-term, overnight parking. The new parking ordinance simply opens up a few spaces closer to campus for those who commute and only use the lot during the day; safety issues do not apply to this group.
The new time restriction placed on the JRP lot requires students of West Campus Road to park their cars in the Memorial Stadium lot, which is zoned for the same parking pass as JRP. The lots are zoned for the same passes, moving the cars to another area does only that: it moves them. It doesn't open up additional parking because the two lots are meant for the same parking passes. It is merely dangerous and inconvenient.
The issue is time and not that the students parking in JRP overnight didn't have proper registration, so it doesn't add up that students aren't able to use the parking pass for the lot at times that they need it. In a Kansan article on Feb. 21, the chairman of the parking commission committee said the problem stems from students assuming it is a "right, not a privilege, to park at the university." It may be a privilege for a student to bring a car to school, but it is a right to be on equal status with all other students who have paid for the same parking pass and therefore the same parking accommodations.

'Crash,' despite its low budget, garners award for best picture
LOS ANGELES — The ensemble drama "Crash" pulled off one of the biggest upsets in Academy Awards history, winning best picture Sunday over the cowboy romance "Brokeback Mountain", which had been the front-runner.
"Crash," featuring a huge cast in crisscrossing story lines over a chaotic, 36-hour period in Los Angeles, rode a late surge of praise that lifted it past "Brokeback Mountain," a film that had won most other key Hollywood honors.
In a year of provocative films at the Oscars, "Crash" was one of the fiercest, a portrait of simmering racial and cultural
tension among blacks, whites, Hispanics, Asians and Arabs.
The other best-picture nominees emerged either out of Hollywood studios or their art-house affiliates. But "Crash" was a true Oscar rarity, shot outside the system on a tiny $6.5 million budget, then acquired by independent distributor Lionsgate at the 2004 Toronto International Film Festival.
"Crash" grossed $55 million domestically.
"For so tiny a picture, go figure," "Crash" director and co-writer Paul Haggis had said earlier in awards season.

KANSAN SENIOR SWIPTERWITHER
MANHATTAN — It's a term that all freshmen athletes are aware of. the "freshman wall."
Athletes encounter the dreaded wall when they start getting fatigued because they are playing so many more games and practices than they were in high school.
On Internet message boards Kansas fans have been saying that freshman guard Brandon Rush had hit that freshman wall, and it was a major concern heading into the NCAA Tournament.
Rush proved those critics wrong Saturday afternoon, when he poured in 24 points and grabbed six boards on route to Kansas" 66-52 victory against Kansas State.
Rush said after the game that it felt good to have another solid game after struggling for a few contests. Rush said he was starting to feel a bit tired after playing so many games.
"I feel like your body tires a bit," Rush said. "You have your days when you don't feel good and it shows on the court. My confidence wasn't down. I knew I was going to come out of it."
Saturday, Rush looked fine and healthy to most observers. He returned to his old form, drove to the basket more and played more aggressively.
Rush did struggle in the first half, shooting just 3-of-8 from the field. But he also hit a three-point bank shot at the end of the first half to extend Kansas' lead to 39-24.
Kansas State started to make it a contest in the second half, cutting the lead down to as few as three points. That is when Rush started to be more aggressive and drive to the basket.
"The point guards were finding me, and I was getting open shots," Rush said. "My shots started dropping and I was getting kind of hot."
Rush bailed out his team twice in the second half. He hit a pair of three-point shot in the corner di-

Just more than two minutes later, with Kansas State again trailing by only three points, Robinson drove to the basket again and passed it out to Rush, who calmly anthot-
three-point shot right in front of a jubilant Kansas bench. That shot would extend the lead to six points, and Kansas State would never get closer the rest of the game.

Youngsters outlast growing pains
A few weeks ago, the thought of a Big 12 Conference championship for the Kansas men's basketball team was heralded as a pipe dream at best.
JIMMY CHAYEZ
Kansas was once at 10-6 and lost consecutive games to Kansas State and Missouri this season. Growing pains along the way are to be expected for a team with its best players as freshmen and sophomores.
The same thing could be said for former Kansas coach Roy Williams and North Carolina, which lost seven players from last year's championship team.
Both teams are relying on young talent to carry them into

Kansas will play on Friday at 6 p.m. against the winner of the Oklahoma State-lowa State game.
"Iowa State is a team we beat twice, but we certainly had to play well to do it," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "Oklahoma State was a tie game with 10 minutes. They're playing a lot better now."
iowa State and Oklahoma State were two of four teams that finished in a tie for seventh place in the Big 12 Conference. Oklahoma State nearly topped Oklahoma a week ago.The Jayhawks struggled offensively against the Cowboys when they met earlier in the season.

Iowa State came into the season with high hopes for an NCAA tournament bid, but a 6-10 conference record ended those hopes. Guards Curtis Stinson and Will Blalock anchor the Cyclones.
"You shouldn't look at them as a 10 seed, you should look at them as a No. 7," Self said. "They just went on a cold streak for a couple of weeks."
Self said every coach in the league would agree that the Cyclones had talented enough players to finish in the top half of the Big 12.
Kansas defeated Iowa State twice this season: 95-85 in Ames, Iowa, and 88-75 in Lawrence.
In preparation for Kansas' game on Friday, Self gave his players the day off on Sunday.
They will practice this afternoon before traveling to Dallas for the Big 12 Tournament.

OVERLAND PARK - Dan Guilfoil smacked the hell out of the puck. He lifted it into the air from 15 feet out, and it sailed. Past one player, two, three, four, the goalie and into the back of the Missouri net.

The score went up in red letters — 3 to 3. Kansas players mobbed Guilfoil, sophomore forward. The KU side of the arena cheered wildly. The players on the KU bench pounded the boards.
The celebration didn't last long. The referee said something and skated over to the scorer's table. Players stopped celebrating. The bench grew quiet, then so did the standing-room-only crowd.
KU junior forward Ryne Tusten gets a shot off against Missouri Friday in Overland Park. Kansas lost the game 4-2 and lost again to Missouri in its last game of the season Saturday in Jefferson City, Mo., 5-4 in overtime. The Jayhawks finished the season with a record of 11-17-2.
The scoreboard changed — 3 to 2. The bench cursed. The crowd chanted angrily.
By the time the referee dropped the puck for the face-off, Kansas' momentum had drained away. Two minutes of good chances and near-goals following junior forward Nick Hantge's goal with 5:43 left morphed into reckless frustration.
"It was a pretty bad sight to see," Guilfoil said.
Missouri picked up Kansas' lost momentum and went on to score with 32 seconds left and win the game 4 to 2 Friday in Kansas' home rink, Ice Midwest in Overland Park.
The cause of death: standing in the goal crease, the most important
call in the game, which was defined by penalties. The teams combined for 56 minutes in the penalty box —29 for the 10 Kansas players who sat in the box and 27 for eight Missouri players.
Players don't know who was called for standing in front of the goal when the puck hit the net. Freshman forward Erik Bredesen was in the area, along with some other players.
Until the final Missouri goal, the game was close and hard-fought. It was senior night, the final home game for forward Steve Barbaro, defenseman Eric Mathias, forward Tyler McNally, defenseman Kyle Wilson and forward Timon Veach, a University Daily Kansan copy editor, who started the game.
"It could've been me," Bredesen said. "There were a couple of guys standing around the net. We scored the goal. That was one of the worst refs I've ever seen."
Then Hantge scored neatly, sliding the puck past the goalie after receiving a pass across the goal from freshman forward Alex Wahl. Kansas picked up momentum and dominated Missouri for the next couple of minutes, until Guilford's shot, apparent goal and

looked sluggish for more than 10 minutes, getting few good shots off.
Kansas responded five minutes later when Bredesen knocked in a goal after a long shot by junior forward Adam Crohn rebounded off Missouri goalie Keith Van Gels.
Kansas came out for the second period a step behind Missouri and was outscored 2-0. Kansas started the final period down 3-1, and

She finished the season fourth in the conference in scoring, averaging 19 points per game. The Topeka native also ranks in the top 10 in both rebounding and field-goal percentage.
Senior guard Erica Hallman was named honorable mention for the second consecutive year.
Hallman is 11th in the conference in scoring, averaging 14.7 points per game. She is also eighth in the conference in assists and second in three-point shots made.

The Kansas softball team pulled away with a 6-3 defeat of the University of Tulsa on Sunday to win the 2006 Best Western Airport Festival at the Donna J. Hardesty Sports Complex in Tulsa, Okla.
The Jayhawks finished the weekend with a record of 4-1 to move them to 9-10 on the season and closed out the 19-game road trip that spanned more than a month.
Senior pitcher/designated player Serena Settlemier (5-3) struck out six, while surrendering eight hits and two walks in her 6.2 innings of work on Sunday.
She also hit a home run and went 2-for-3 to lead the offensive.
That was Settlemier's fourth home run of the tournament, ninth of the season, and her school-best, the 31st of her career.
Kansas finished with eight hits in the victory, including a two-run home run from senior shortstop Destiny Frankenstein to add to her season total of nine.
On Saturday, Kansas pulled away with a big victory over No. 17 Nebraska, 4-0, but lost to Notre Dame, 5-2, on the second day of the tournament.

With more than five hours of the match completed, the match came down to the No. 6 spot on the team, Kansas freshman Yuliana Stivist. With Svistun down one game, she forced a tie breaker in the second set. The opponent proved to be too much for Svistun, winning in two sets against Katja Kovacic, 6-2, 7-6 (7-3), and giving Texas Tech the victory. With the loss to Texas Tech, Kansas fell to 5-3 on the season and 0-1 in Big
"I definitely thought we had opportunities," Kansas coach Amy Hall-Holt said. "We definitely had the lineup that could compete with them, and we put it out there, but some of us just didn't step up and compete the wav we should have."
The three points that Kansas managed to score were all in singles play. Freshman Ksenia Bukina, sophomore Lauren Hommell and freshman Edina Horvath all won their matches.
"We definitely got out competed; it started from doubles," Hall-Holt said.
Due to potential rainy weather, the doubles match was moved from the Robinson courts to First Serve, an indoor tennis facility in Lawrence. earlier this
season, Hall-Holt said that First Serve gave Kansas the option to play indoors and that was why Kansas played in Lawrence instead of Toneka.
The match took more than five hours to finish, mainly because First Serve has only three indoor courts, whereas the old indoor facility that Kansas played in had six.
Kansas will play two matches next weekend. One match will be on Saturday against Iowa, followed by Oklahoma State on Sunday, either at Robinson Courts or First Serve.

From the beginning, the Jayhawks were able to control the ball and had multiple shot attempts, including an open look that was counteracted by junior Holly Gault's offsides penalty.
In the twelfth minute, Kansas was able to put one into the goal. Gault passed to junior Lacey Novak, who fired a pass to freshman Sara Rogers in front of the goal. Rogers collected the pass and was barely able to squeeze the ball through the legs of Minnesota's goalkeeper to give the fayhawks a 1-0 lead.
Kansas maintained possession for most of the first half and had a few scoring opportunities, including a pass between two defenders from freshman Jessica Bush to a streaking Gault, whose upper-goal shot was barely saved by the goalkeeper.
In the 31st minute, the Gophers got on the board off of a goal kick. Kansas' defender and sophomore goalkeeper Colleen Quinn displayed the ball, and Minnesota was able to score on a kick from about 30 feet out to square the match at one, where the score remained until halftime.
During the second half, neither team attempted many shots, and Minnesota controlled possession early on.
Later in the second half, Kansas began to take control and had opportunities to score but was unable to capitalize, and the two teams played a scoreless second half.
"We played really well in the first half," Kansas coach Mark Francis said. "We weren't moving the ball as much in the second half and might have ran out of gas since we were playing with only one sub."
Francis said he was pleased with his team's overall effort.
The Jayhawks will take the field next against Yale on April 1 in Omaha, Neb.
"For our first spring game it was pretty good," Francis said. "We now know more things we need to work on."

League, players hope to strike late accord
BY DAVE GOLDBERG
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — Talks continued Sunday between the NFL and its players union amid indications they were close to a deal that would avert the mass dumping of veterans.
The negotiations, which had broken off Saturday, resumed when Gene Upshaw, executive director of the NFL Players Association, flew back to New York after returning home to Washington. Reports from inside the bargaining room pointed to progress being made a day after things seemed bleak.
One indication that a deal might be near was a decision by the league to move the deadline for trimming rosters and getting under the salary cap from 6 p.m. EST Sunday to 10 p.m.
Free agency is scheduled to begin at 12:01 a.m. Monday, but could be delayed if agreement is reached.
If there was no deal, the cap was to be set at $94.5 million. But a deal could increase it significantly, allowing teams to keep players they otherwise would have been forced to cut.
These negotiations were by far the most difficult since the NFL and the NFL Players Association first agreed to free agency and a salary cap in 1992, ending years of labor unrest that included player strikes in 1982 and 1987. The contract has been extended several times since then, most of the time with ease.
But this time, the players asked for a change in the system.
Until now, they got their
money primarily from television and ticket revenues. This time, they requested their share from all team revenues, including outside money generated by everything from parking to stadium naming rights.
That led to difficult negotiations, in part because the teams themselves are having their own dispute over that money because of the disparity in outside money made by low-revenue and high-revenue teams. Union leaders had suggested that it would be hard to reach agreement on a labor contract until the owners settled their own differences.
But in the end, they seemed ready to compromise, largely because of the pressure of impending free agency, which was supposed to begin last Friday but was put off for three days so the sides could continue talking. In fact, the talks seemed to be at a standstill last Thursday, when the owners took just 57 minutes to reject the union's last offer.
But seven hours later, the sides reversed course, agreeing to extend the free-agent deadline for three days so they could continue bargaining. That came as teams who had planned for a larger salary cap were preparing to cut large numbers of veterans, including many aging Pro Bowlers.
"Many of those players would have been cut anyway," Upshaw said Saturday, noting that veterans are cut every year but find jobs with other teams. This year, however, the extra cuts could glut the market, causing players to get less money even if they find jobs.
FORT MYERS, Fla. - Former Minnesota Twins center fielder Kirby Puckett had a stroke at his Arizona home Sunday and was taken to a hospital for surgery, the team announced from its spring training camp.

L. G. Patterson/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Junior guard Thomas Gardner poured in 23 points, including 11 in a two-minute outburst in the game's final minutes, as Missouri came from behind to beat Nebraska 64-63 on Sunday.
Gardner, who entered the game second in the Big 12 scoring race with a 19.8 point average, had a driving left-hand layup that put Missouri (12-15, 5-11) on top 62-61 with 1:06 remaining.
After Nebraska's Jason Dourisseau hit two three throws to put the Cornhuskers back up by one, Missouri missed two shots on its end and then fouled Nebraska on the ensuing inbound play.
But the Huskers' Wes Wilkinson missed the front end of a 1-and-1 and the chance to pad the lead.
The Tigers responded by working the ball inside to forward Marshall Brown, who after hesitating, converted a short jump shot to give Missouri the one-point lead with 3.3 seconds remaining.
Missouri had a chance to add to that lead in the final seconds after Nebraska's Bronson Schliep threw a full-court baseball pass out of bounds. But Brown missed his own front end of the 1-and-1, giving Nebraska one final shot.
Dourisseau narrowly missed a half-court runner, giving the crowd a 9,388 a chance to let out a collective gasp.
Wilkinson led Nebraska (17-12, 7-9) with 17 points. Center Aleks Maric added 16 points, with guard Jamel White contributing 14.
With the win, Missouri avoided a last-place Big 12 finish, earning an 11th seed in the upcoming conference tournament. Nebraska is the No. 6 seed.
Missouri took a six-point lead into halftime, 31-25. But the Tigers squandered momen
tum from that shot, getting outscored by Nebraska 9-2 in the first 3.20 of the second half. Nebraska led by as many as 8 points with 3:20 remaining in the game.
The home victory capped a trying season for Missouri, including the Feb. 10 resigna-
Snyder quit after a string of six consecutive double-digit losses, including a 26-point defeat at last-place Baylor. After an emotional home victory over
Kansas State two days later under interim coach Watkins, the Tigers lost four more games before Sunday's contest.
Kansas City could hold Super Bowl in 2015
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The National Football League announced Sunday that Kansas City would host Super Bowl XLIX in 2015 if voters approve a tax to renovate Arrowhead Stadium.
Commissioner Paul Tagliabue addressed a meeting of team officials and civic leaders by speakerphone from New York where he was engaged in a negotiations on a new collective bargaining agreement with the players union.
Tagliabue announced late last year that Kansas City
would get a SuperBowl if the renovations were made and if a rolling roof was built to make Arrowhead Stadium climate-controlled.
tions on April 4. A 3/8-cent sales tax would raise more than $500 million for renovations to Arrowhead and the Royals' Kauffman Stadium.
A separate tax would raise about $200 million to build the rolling roof, which would be used for both stadiums.

Kansas State coach Jim Wooldridge was called for a technical foul in the first half for arguing with an official.
- With Kansas up only three, Rush rattled in a three-point shot with less than 10 minutes to go. That ignited a 10-1 run for the Jayhawks to put the game out of reach.
Basketball Notes:
The victory was Kansas' 23rd straight in Manhattan and its 18th straight victory in Bramlage Coliseum.
The victory was Kansas' 19th in its past 22 games.
- The 49th conference title ties Kentucky for the most conference titles by a program.

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
3:07 — Mario Chalmers with the poke away and then Akeem Wright tries to strip his uniform off of him. After Chalmers knocks down two free throws after the intentional foul, he hits a three to give the Jayhawks' their first lead.
3:02 p.m. — Kansas State coach Jim Wooldridge is already crying to the officials. Wooldridge needs a box of tissues attached to his stylish neck brace.
3:13 — K-State timeout. Kansas on a 9-0 run.
K-State might as well forfeit because they're just delaying the inevitable. This is going to get ugly.
3:16 — Olathe North grad Tyler Hughes enters the ballgame, which screams desperation by Wooldridge.
3:22 - The camera guy took a nap and left the camera pointed toward half court. ESPN Plus probably asked some hungover hick in Manhattan to handle the equipment today.
3:26 — Wooldridge with a technical during the TV timeout. He's tossed the jacket, and he'll probably chuck the neck brace next.
3:38 — Sophomore center CJ Giles with the left-handed swat. K-State better stick to shooting threes.
3:50 — Brandon Rush with the three-point banker to send the Jayhawks into halftime with a 15-point lead. Did anyone hear him call glass?
4:29 - It's a three-point game and K-State's zone is hurting Kansas again. Trying... not to hit.. the panic... button! (Sigh of relief) Kansas comes back down the floor, and all five Jayhawks touch the ball as Rush calmly strokes a three.
4:45 — Julian Wright pickpockets Akeem Wright and gets the assist from his backside to Rush for the dunk. He's our best passer even when he's on the ground.
4:36 - Self and the bald ref shower each other with words after two straight terrible calls. Ref is going Bill 'the spit talker' Cowher on Self, and Self isn't taking it.
4:58 — Russell Robinson hits a jumper from the wing with two minutes left to make it a 12-point game. The stats don't show it, but he's been the player of the game. The kid is just gritty.
4:10 — Two minutes in K-State has cut the lead to nine. Bill Self calls a time-out.
4:59 — Rush throws a shot/pass to himself for a tip in — 24 points for Rush. Yeah, I'd say he's out of his slump.
4:17 — Rush finally scores the Jayhawks' first basket of the half.The game is starting to look earily similar to — I'm not going to go there.
5:00 — ESPN Plus shows a graphic of what was going on in the world the last time K-State beat Kansas at home (1983). And somewhere a K-State fan is contemplating jumping off a tall building — or toll barn.
K-State didn't score a field goal in the final 10:57 of the game. I guess defense really does win championships - Big 12 Championships that is.

Editor's Note: The Kansan Big 12 Power Rankings are voted on by Ryan Colaiani, Kansas men's basketball writer; Daniel Berk, Big 12 men's basketball writer; Eric Sorrentino, sports editor; and Erick R. Schmidt, associate sports editor.
Both Texas and Kansas will raise 2006 Big 12 Conference Championship banners, but only Texas will boast the title of Kansan Power Rankings champion. The Longhorns slipped up earlier in the week, but bounced back when it mattered. Kansas, which knocked off Baylor and Kansas State this week, couldn't recover in the voters' minds from the drubbing it received in Austin, Texas last Saturday.
Texas A&M might have played its way into the NCAA tournament with the upset against Texas. The Aggies are perhaps the hottest team in the conference, and nobody wants to see them in the Big 12 tournament. On the flip side of the tournament coin, Colorado needs to make some noise in the conference tourney to have a chance at the Big Dance. The Buffaloes have struggled mightily down the stretch, perhaps losing what once looked like a sure tournament bid.
In a move that defined the Big 12 this season, the teams in the bottom two-thirds of the conference were pretty much interchangeable. The league reeked of parity this season, as evidenced by Missouri's "thrilling" victory against Nebraska Sunday. A league with as many up-and-down teams as the Big 12 should make for an interesting conference tournament. Unlike years past, there doesn't seem to be a single team that has zero chance of winning the tournament, perhaps with the exception of Melvin Watkins and his Fighting Tigers, who took the prize of last place in the Kansan Power Rankings.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 18
On Saturday, Kansas faced a potentially embarrassing sweep by Kansas State when it almost blew a 15-point lead.
Then, freshman guard Brandon Rush took over the game, scoring 24 points en route to the 66-52 victory. Rush helped Kansas bring home a conference championship — its sixth in the past 10 seasons — and a league record of 13-3.
It's interesting how amidst all the panic about Kansas being worse this year than the previous three or four years, it winds up the regular season with a better Big 12 record than last year's team, which finished 12-4.
Unfortunately, North Carolina's success will likely impede the accolades that Self deserves, due to the East Coast bias that will ensure Williams taking home coach of the year. Self at least has assured himself the Big 12 coach of the year honor.
While this will likely bother the fans, Kansas players and Self probably couldn't care less.
That's why, as they head to Dallas for the Big 12 Championship to try and claim another feat that traditionally eluded them, there's intrigue.
Nobody has the slightest clue what will happen this weekend or the next four weekends. If any year there was a chance to surprise a few people, this is the year.
None of it matters now as the Jayhawks look at the calendar and see that it's March. For a team that knows no other way, it has to feel right at home.
For a team like Kansas, which is calm, cool and collected like its coach, that suits it just fine. All year, the Jayhawks heard everything from negativity and cynicism to praise and excitement from their loyal fans.

Replacement players surpass expectations

Sephomore outfielder John Allman, left, and senior infielder Ritchie Price narrowly avoid a collision in short left field during the seventh inning of the home opener against Western Illinois on Friday. The Jayhawks overcame a series of shaky defensive plays to hold off the Leathernecks 5-4.
BY SHAWN SHROYER
sshroyer@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
With Matt Baty out indefinitely and Ryne Price out for four weeks, the main concern for the Kansas baseball team was how their replacements would fare this past weekend against Western Illinois.
Kansas coach Ritch Price looked to sophomore outfielder John Allman, who started 12 of 14 games coming into the series, to replace Baty, senior outfielder, in left field. Allman started all three games of the series in left field.
Allman went 2-of-4 on Friday, tallying two RBI. Although the playing time was nothing new to Allman, seeing Baty in street clothes was a different story.
"With Baty out, it's a lot of motivation for me and all the guys on the team to play well and play for him," Allman said. "It's a bummer seeing him sitting on the bench."
Allman's bat remained hot throughout the series despite a rainout on Saturday.
in the bottom of the second inning of Sunday's first game, Allman launched his first home run of the season over the left field fence, driving in senior outfielder Gus Milner.
Allman didn't hit a home run last season until game 47, so he was glad his first of this season came early.
"It was good — felt real good to get that first one out of the wav." Allman said.
Even with the pressure of filling in for Baty, Allman went 6-of-10 in the series with two walks, four RBI and five runs scored, improving his season batting average from .229 to .293.
"It's big shoes to fill," Allman said. "I just try to go out there and do what I can to help the team, try to live up to Baty's legacy out there."
Sophomore infielder Matt Berner, a local product from
Free State High School, took over at second base for Price, sophomore infielder.
Although he appeared in 10 games last season and started two games in the Music City Challenge, Friday's start was Berner's first at Hoglund Ballpark in front of the home-town crowd.
"It was kind of funny because right after they announced us to go out on the field and did the national anthem, I told Ritchie that I kind of had some butterflies." Berner said.
Those butterflies surfaced in the first inning when he was charged with a fielding error — though it'd be his only one of the series. Berner responded in the bottom of the second inning when he singled in his first atbat of the game.
"Matt's a really low-key guy and he's one of those guys that goes about his business in a professional manner," coach Price said. "He doesn't get too hyped and he does a really good job
of controlling his emotions and I thought he made some good plains today."
After the error, Berner looked like an every-day player in the field. In the top of the seventh inning, he saved an overthrow to second base from reaching the outfield.
With a single in the seventh inning of the second game on Sunday, Berner notched his third hit in as many games.
Berner went 3-of-9 at the plate in the series, but his most satisfying moment came in the field during the final game of the weekend. With two out in the bottom of the ninth inning, Berner sent Western Illinois packing when he fielded a ground ball and threw it to first for the final out.
"It kind of brought everything around, making the first error of the first game and making the last out of the last game," Berner said.

CONTINUED FROM 18
Muddy base paths and sunny skies set the tone for a five-hour doubleheader that Kansas took from Western Illinois, 11-3 and 7-1. A Saturday rainstout pushed game two to Sunday.
Kansas ignited its offense on Sunday.
After edging Western Illinois by a 5-4 margin on Friday, Kansas hit five home runs to outscore its opponent, 18-4 on Sunday.
"You can't take anybody lightly," sophomore third baseman Erik Morrison said. "When you get someone down, I mean I hate to say it, but you kind of have to step on their throat and put them away."
Morrison went 4-for-9, with three home runs and six RBI. He has already tied his home-run mark of a year ago.
"This weather out here is unbelievable, so I give it to that for kind of getting me going." Morrison said.
Western Illinois senior left fielder Joe Pacyga was a victim

Tar Heels knock off Blue Devils
North Carolina's David Noel slam dunks during the first half of the Tarheels game against the Blue Devils Saturday in Durham, N.C. North Carolina beat Duke 83-76.
NORTH

CAROLINA
Freshmen lead team to victory
BY KEITH PARSONS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DURHAM, N.C. — North Carolina's precocious freshmen earned another victory on the road, in perhaps the toughest setting.
Tyler Hansbrough scored 27 points, fellow rookie Danny Green came up with the key defensive stop and the 13th-ranked Tar Heels held off No. 1 Duke 83-76 Saturday night in the final home game for J.J. Redick and Shelden Williams.
They ruined Senior Night at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
Bobby Frasor, yet another first-year player, converted two clutch free throws with 23 seconds remaining, and Hansbroun later made two more. That made it a five-point game, and the Blue Devils (27-3, 14-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) were done when DeMarcus Nelson's three-point shot missed everything on the other end.
Marcus Ginyard, the fourth freshmen in the rotation for North Carolina (21-6, 12-4), added 12 points and Frasor finished with 10. Green stripped Duke's Sean Dockery on a drive in the final minute when the margin was only three points.
Redick scored 18 points despite missing 15 of his final 16 shots, and Williams had 18 points, 15 rebounds and six blocks.
The Blue Devils completed the regular season with their first loss to the Tar Heels in Cameron since 2001, and will almost certainly drop from the top spot in The Associated Press poll on Monday.
Even though Duke already wrapped up the No.1 seed for the ACC tournament, they head there having lost two in a row.
Florida State upset them earlier in the week.
GOLF
Tiger hangs on for Doral title
BY DOUG FERGUSON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Despite a bogey-bogey finish on the Blue Monster, Woods closed with a 3-under 69 for a one-shot victory over David Toms and Colombian rookie Camilo Villegas in the Ford Championship at Doral, his second PGA Tour victory of the year and the 13th time he has successfully defended a title.
MIAMI - Tiger Woods played his best golf when he finally got some competition Sunday at Doral, then was at his worst when it no longer mattered.
Woods finished at 20-under 268 and never lost his lead on a breezy afternoon, and after Toms closed to within one shot with two straight birdies on the back nine, Woods found another gear.
He holed a 12-foot birdie on the 11th, then became the only player to reach the 603-yard 12th in two shots for a birdie to restore his lead to three shots.
Toms made it easier for him
at the end.
Woods, who hit a wedge over the 17th green to make his first bogey of the final round, was in the right rough on the daunting 18th hole, leading by one shot.
He watched Toms run a 60-foot birdie putts some 10 feet past the hole, then miss the par putt for his first three-putt of the week.
Woods only needed a bogey, and it showed. He hit his approach well right into a bunker, blasted out to 12 feet and two-putted for a bogey.
"Anywhere inside the bleachers and I'm fine ... just as long as I can make bogey," Woods said. "A 'W is a 'W.'"
Woods' 48th career victory enhanced his reputation as golf's best closer.
He now is 34-3 when he has at least a share of the 54- hole lead, and he has never lost in 20 tries when leading by at least two going into the last round.
He became the first repeat winner at Doral since Raymond Floyd won in 1980 and 1981.

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL North Carolina wins ACC tournament title
GREENSBORO, N.C. - Topranked North Carolina avenged its only loss and won another Atlantic Coast Conference tournament championship Sunday.
Erlana Larkins scored a career-high 26 points and had 12
rebounds to lead the Tar Heels past fourth-ranked Maryland 91-80, giving the program its second straight ACC tournament title and likely locking up a No. 1 seed for the NCAA tournament.
Ivory Latta also scored 26 to earn MVP honors for North Carolina (29-1), which has won seven straight games since a 98-95 overtime home loss to
theTerrapins last month. It was North Carolina's seventh tournament title overall and marked the second straight year that Latta was named MVP.
Jade Perry scored 18 points to lead five players in double figures for the Terrapins (28-4), who were seeking an unprecedented ninth title but first since 1989.

Three-point shots haunt Jayhawks
BY RVAN SCHNEIDER
rschneider@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR SPORTSWITTER
The Kansas women's basketball team made history with its loss Thursday night against Kansas State in Allen Fieldhouse. But it wasn't the kind it hoped to make.
The game marked the first time in the Kansas coach Bonnie Hendrickson era and in 63 games that the Jayhawks failed to make a three-point basket.
Three-point shooting has been a key in Kansas' victories and losses this season. The team shot nearly 40 percent from behind the arc in its 16 victories, but shot only 32 percent in its 11 Big 12 Conference losses. If Kansas hopes to make a run in this week's Big 12 Tournament in Dallas, it will be done behind the three-point line.
In Tuesday night's tournament game against Kansas State, the key will be to use its three-point shooting to take the pressure off senior forward Crystal Kemp in the paint.
Earlier in the season, Kansas was able to make three-pointers early, causing defenders to come out of double teams in the paint. Kemp saw easier looks at the basket because opponents had to back off the double team. She has had 50 more shots in the team's victories because of hot three-point shooting.
"It opens up the inside more for Crystal to score, because they're

worried about us shooting it outside," said senior guard Kaylee Brown.
Henrickson said her team's three-point shooting woes against Kansas State on Thursday was because of bad looks.
Both Brown and senior guard Eric Hallman finished the season ranked in the top 10 in the conference in three-pointers made. Both averaged nearly three per game. A number of those three-pointers have come off crisp passes and high screens near the three-point line.
"We weren't able to get much separation, and the shots we did get were all contested," Henrickson said.
If Kansas hopes to improve its postseason resume with a Big 12 Tournament run in Dallas, it will be up to its guards to free up the paint for Kemp, with shots behind the arc.

Monique Currie finished with 18 points but couldn't stop the Blue Devils (26-3) from failing to advance to the final for the first time in seven years.

Service's return set to fill info void

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
TUESDAY. MARCH 7. 2006
Callers to KU Info have recently heard only a weekly updated voicemail in response to their quest for KU-related information. Relief is in sight though — a new and improved KU Info is scheduled to launch April 21.
As part of a restructuring effort, the service will reopen at a new location with improved online services and a newly hired group of student employees.
"We're working pretty hard to focus on the needs of the students with this new service," said Curtis Marsh, the new director of KU Info.
KU Info is a service that provides students and the greater KU community with help navigating the University of Kansas system and the Lawrence area. It has been in existence for more than 30 years and operated out of the reference desk in Anschutz Library from 2002 until last winter break. Marsh said that KU Info received a lot of questions about enrollment, commencement and adding and dropping classes. They also answered questions about entertainment and local events.
"If we don't know the answer to a non-KU question, we will find the person or the Web site that does," Marsh said.
When KU Info reopens, it will be across from the elevators on the fourth floor in the Kansas Union where the Jay Tech info booth is located. After the move, Jay Tech will no longer exist, but the KU Info student employees will be able to answer questions related to technology and the Internet. Instant messaging and text messaging services will be added in addition to the existing means of contacting KU Info, by e-mail at kulinfo@ku.edu or by phone at 864-3506.
Marsh expects to hire about 12 student employees.The new hours will be determined based on the exact number of students hired and the hours the Kansas Union is open.
"I don't think it's going to be 24 hours when we bring it back, but I also think it's going to be an 8 to 5 thing." Marsh said.
Marsh said they have also been working to increase the content on the Web site, www.kuinfo.lib.ku.edu, so that it can serve as the primary reference for the student employees when they answer calls and e-mails. It will be a resource that students can access 24 hours a day without having to contact KU Info.
Marissa Rosenblum, Kansas City, Mo., senior, used the service once when her car was broken into and she needed the number for the police station. She said she thought she might have used the service more as an underclassman when she was less familiar with the workings of the University. She also said that the temporary lack of a physical location was likely to impact the number of users.
"I know when I used to go to Anschutz a lot, I would look at all the stuff they had out." Rosenblum said. "It was convenient."

SAFETY
A fire in a chemical hood on West Campus gave one woman minor burns Monday night.
Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical responded to an alarm at Smissman Research Laboratories, 2099 Constant Ave., about 6 p.m.
Division Chief Jerry Karr said the fire was contained in the laboratory's chemical hoods. The woman, who was in the building when the fire started, was treated for minor burns and released from Watkins Memorial Health Center, Karr said.
Karr said that by the time crews arrived on the scene, the fire was mostly put out by occupants in the building.
The charred remains of a broom were found lying on the sidewalk near the main entrance to the Smissman Research Laboratories.
Karr said he did not know if the broom was used to put out the fire.
Karr said investigators from the county and the KU Public Safety Office were investigating to determine the cause of the fire.

Recruiters to stay
Campus must keep service or lose funds
BY KRISTEN JARBOF
kjarboe@kansan.com ☐ KANSA STAFF WRITER
The University of Kansas will continue to allow military recruiters on campus as long as it accepts federal money, after a Supreme Court decision was made Monday.
The court ruled 8-0 that colleges accepting federal money must allow a military presence on campus.
Some college leaders have said they could not afford to lose federal help, which is about $35 billion a year. The University's research expenditures summary from the fiscal year of 2004 shows three-fourths of research expenditures are federal money from grants.
Regardless of some universities' objections to the Pentagon's "Don't ask, don't tell" policy on gays, the law known as the Solomon Amendment, was upheld.

"A military recruiter's mere presence on campus does not violate a law school's right to associate, regardless of how repugnant the law school considers the recruiter's message," he wrote.

In 2003, the NCAA created a landmark rating system that aimed to solidify the meaning of "student athlete," and now, two KU teams are feeling its effects.
The KU football and baseball teams are appealing the NCAA's strict
The KU football team pealing the ACNAS strict Academic Progress Rate requirements, which the teams didn't meet, the Athletics Department announced last week.
The purpose of the Academic Progress Rate is to make programs honor their commitment to student athletes and help them earn college degrees.
The Academic Progress Rate has created headaches for athletic directors, but it is all justified, said Paul Busirk, associate athletics director.
"Every scholarship decision is an APR decision." he said
Before the Academic Progress Rate went into effect, few rules existed on graduation requirements. Many schools abused student athletes by recruiting them, using up their eligibility and then not graduating them.
Buskirk said all the work that goes into academic compliance is worthwhile because it benefits the student athlete.
The Academic Progress Rate measures a team's eligibility and retention. If a team has a poor percentage of eligibility graduation, it can lose scholarships.
By the 2008-09 season, punishment could come in the form of a postseason ban, NCAA President Myles Brand said last week in a media teleconference.

A lot of elderly people he worked with had multiple ailments and needed multiple medications,he said.
"Every day those people needed one thing after another," Hanke said.
Statistics show that fewer and fewer people are going into geri-
atrics, the field of medicine that specializes in caring for the elderly people. According to The American Geriatrics Society, there are approximately 7,600 certified geriatricians, yet another 14,000 are needed to adequately care for today's elderly population.
With America's rapidly growing elderly population, the problem could grow into a crisis.

GERIATRIC STATISTICS
A shortage of geriatricians exists in the United States and is projected to worsen during the next 20 years. Currently there are approximately 7,600 certified geriatricians, but another 14,000 are needed to adequately care for the elderly population.
By 2030, the number of adults age 65 and older will nearly
double to 70 million
By 2030, the nation will need 36,000 trained geriatricians.
Adults 85 and older are the fastest-growing segment of the entire population with expected growth from 4 million today to 20 million by 2050.

Nuclear mastermind for Hussein to speak
The former nuclear mastermind of Saddam Hussein will speak at 7:30 tonight at 120 Budiq Hall.
Mahdi Obeidi served as chief scientist for Hussein and led the effort to arm Hussein with a nuclear bomb. He was director-general of Iraq's Ministry of Industry and Military Industrialization. In 2003, Obeidi voluntarily led United States weapons investigators to plans for nuclear weapons, an event that made way for his book, "The Bomb in My Garden."

Doctor says man faked blinding in car wreck

SAN RAFAEL, Calif. - A motorist accused of blinding a bicyclist in a hit-and-run accident was cleared of charges after a doctor said the victim was faking his injury.
James Arrigoni, 45, of San Anselmo, had been accused of swerving his pickup truck into a cyclist who made an obscene gesture with his finger a year ago.
Torrin Arnold, 26, of San Anselmo said he hit his head on the pavement and lost his vision.
He appeared at Arragoni's court hearings wearing dark glasses and using a cane, and

The case drew wide support from cycling enthusiasts who sponsored a fundraiser to help pay Arnold's medical bills and urged the district attorney's office to file criminal charges.
attended Braille school and was given a guide dog by a San Rafael nonprofit group, said defense attorney Jim Collins.
Prosecutor Paul Haakenson told a Marin County Superior Court judge on Thursday that he decided to drop the charges after reviewing medical records from an ophthalmologist who said Arnold was pretending to be blind.
Arnold said he plans to pursue a lawsuit against Arrigoni. "The people around me
Eat that, Lassie: Dog wakes family to fire
SOUTH BRUNSWICK, N.J.
— A newly adopted dog's noisy barking alerted a sleeping family that their home was on fire, allowing them to escape the blaze with only minor injuries.
John Cramer, 54, and his wife, Cheryl, 44, were in their second-floor bedroom when he heard the dog howling around 6:30 a.m. Sunday. When he went downstairs to comfort Toby, a Norwegian

As the smoke thickened inside the home, Cramer opened the crate to free Toby and then ran upstairs to rouse his wife and their 9-year-old daughter. Lee.
The family then quickly escaped along with Toby and Casey, another elkhound who was sleeping upstairs, but they could not save their three cats, who died in the blaze.
Investigators believe the fire began in the basement near an electrical outlet.The fire had been burning for about 30 minutes before it was discovered.

Cows on the lam in small Tennessee town
- The Associated Press
MOUNT CARMEL, Tenn.
Officials in this small town say the solution to their fugitive problem may be a new "pen." Only they're trying to round up cows, not felons.
Alderman Henry Bailey says the number of escaped cattle wandering the streets of the town is on the rise.
Because the town of 4,800 people has no facility to store large animals, Mount Carmel officials are left scrambling to find a place for the cattle.
Bailey suggested construct ing a holding pen on the
town's sewer treatment plant property, near where stray cats and dogs are held. Another solution might be better enforcement of the state's regulations on livestock fencing, he said.
"My concern is if you can't find the owner, what do you do if they're a traffic hazard or a hazard to other people?" Bailey said.
Mayor Gary Lawson said he didn't think it should be a police officer's duty to "arrest" a cow.
"We could pass an ordinance if they aren't claimed in three days we'll have a town barbecue," Lawson joked.

Learned gets wireless funding
STUDENT SENATE
BY NICOLF KELLEY
nkelley@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Student Senate gave $9,798 to the School of Engineering Wednesday to help cover the cost of installing wireless Internet in Learned Hall.
The School of Engineering is the first school to approach Senate for funding for this type of project. The entire project will cost about $22,000 and will include 12 access points throughout the building. Mehrdad Hosni, School of Engineering senator, said many students will benefit from having wireless Internet in Learned Hall now and in the future as people continue to move into a more technologically
advanced era. The School of Engineering will pay the remaining cost of the project. Hosni, Manhattan junior, said when plans were getting started, he met with the school to discuss different solutions of how to raise the remaining amount.
"Students wanted this, and Student Senate represents us," he said. "We felt it was appropriate to go through them with funds."
In the past, other schools that put wireless Internet into their buildings have used sources such as differential tuition to pay for the project.
At the Senate meeting on Wednesday, Chris Jones, School of Business senator, spoke out against Student Senate passing the bill to fund the project.
Jones, Iowa City, Iowa senior, said that because the School of Business was able to fund installing wireless Internet into Summerfield Hall, the School of Engineering should be able to do the same in Learned Hall. Jones said he felt like he would not be representing the business school if he supported funds proven that could be raised through other means.
He said the School of Engineering never planned for the funds raised through differential tuition to be used for this type of project.
Hosni said the wireless Internet project was not only important to the 1,600 engineering students, who make up 7 percent of the University population, but also to the students in the approximately 10 College of Liberal Arts and Sciences classes also held in Learned Hall.
"Having the additional funds will be able to benefit students in other ways through scholarships," Hosni said. "It's more appropriate for how differential tuition should be used."
Marynell Jones, student body vice president and Dallas senior, said that Senate would most likely give funding for wireless Internet to any school that came and asked for it. However, she said that so many schools have wireless now that she didn't expect to see many more coming to Senate to fund it.

Two Kansas sports could lose scholarships next year because they have fallen below the Academic Progress Rate, the NCAA's measure of academic success.
How's know the Academic Progress Rate in Kansas?
ACADEMIC PROGRESS RATE
Here's how the Academic Progress Rate is figured
During the course of an academic year, a player's academic success is worth four points: two for eligibility and two for retention. Those are divided by semester, meaning a player is worth two points per semester. These points are tallied like this:
A player who stays at his or her current school and is eligible earns two points.
A player who transfers while eligible earns one point.
A player who transfers and is ineligible earns zero points.
Source: Associate Athletics Director Paul Buskirk
If a team's Academic Progress Rate falls below 925 — meaning that the team earns less than 92.5 percent of all possible points — the team could lose one scholarship the next year for each player who earns zero points.
Rate
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Before the Academic Progress Rate went into effect, there were few rules on graduation requirements. Many schools abused student athletes by recruiting them, using up their eligibility and then not graduating them.
Buskirk said what the Academic Progress Rate did was add enforcement to academic reform, something that was lacking during much of the 1980s and 1990s in basketball.
UNLV didn't graduate a single basketball player who arrived between 1988 and 1995. Syracuse didn't graduate an African-American player who started playing between 1987 and 1995. Also, neither Arkansas nor Louisville graduated an African-American player who arrived between 1989 and 1995.
About a decade and a half ago, the first requirements for graduation rates went into effect. Since then, Buskirk said, Kansas has tended to track ahead of other programs when it comes to graduation rates and academic success. Kansas fared well in the latest Academic Progress Rate results, Buskirk said. Women's basketball, baseball and football all fell below the rate's minimum standard, but women's basketball will not be subjected to punishment because the team didn't have

enough players to be judged.
Ten Big 12 schools' Academic Progress Rates have been released publicly. Between Kansas and those 10 schools, Big 12 schools averaged 2.2 teams falling below the standard. Texas A&M, like Kansas, is appealing the NCAA results. Its results haven't been released on the NCAA Web site. The Kansas Athletics Department released its results to media last week.
Buskirk said the department was confident its cases for appeal in baseball and football would win once the NCAA reviewed them. He said the NCAA would likely acknowledge extenuating circumstances under which players left and wouldn't punish the department.
Because the progress rate is so new, Buskirk said he didn't know how long it typically took for the NCAA to rule on an appeal. He did say he expected a result by the end of the month.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ***
Be careful in your dealings with others.
Expenses might be a bit askew or might be coating you more than they should. Investigate what might be going on. Relax when others become controlling. Sometimes you think that someone doesn't get it.
Tonight. Your treat.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) *****
You have energy and enthusiasm, but others find you a bit irritating. Instead of illuminating a major difference of opinion, work with reality. You seem much lighter and more easygoing than many. In some way, this could evoke others' 'ire.
Tonight. Easy does it.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) **
You cannot win for losing during the daylight hours. Crankiness and difficulty with situations merge. Know when to retreat.
This act could easily define your mood. Why interfere with the obvious?
Tonight. Come out of your shell.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) *****
Aim for more of what you want, though others might test your limits. You might be confused, as someone is giving you a lot of mixed messages and reverses gear. Curb your risk-taking.
Tonight. Chill out.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) ★★★
You might try very hard to keep things together but can't because others create an uproar. You might want to head in a different direction. But no matter which way you turn, there is uproar.
Tonight. Join your friends.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) *★★★
You might need to distance yourself from others, or simply head out the door. Taking a drive or doing something totally different will help you gain a perspective. As a result, you will be able to take a strong stand.
Tonight: A must appear.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ***
Work with others, as you have little choice;
though on some level, you could find those
around you difficult. Think positively, if
you can. Laugh and enjoy yourself to the
maximum. You might need to be less vested
in what goes on.
Tonight: Run a movie.

Others challenge you, or at least this is how you see it. You might want to think before you say anything that could impact you.
Home and family matters could pressure you into being irrational.

CLAS students need better advising process
Graduating seniors have begun the process of getting out of the University. They have to start looking for something to do after school, get ripped off at bookstores one last time on announcements and caps and gowns, maybe send a few invitations, and fill out their graduation paperwork.
Yes, like every other process in universities, students need to 'apply' to graduate. The University checks the name on your degree one more time and makes sure you took all the classes necessary for a degree.
Without proper advising, some students find out at this critical point in their college lives that they didn't take the right classes. Instead of a summer of halcyon days before entering the real world, students find themselves taking that third three-by-three in American Studies no one had reminded them to get out of the way.
Nowhere is this more of a problem than in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
First of all, 17,000 students are enrolled in the college. They are divided up into 53 different departments. These large numbers add up to plenty of opportunities for students to fall through the cracks.
But the college has no unified advising system. It's not built to give students both the academic advising and career planning that the professional schools — business, journalism and others — offer. Advising is left up to departments in the school, which means students often must either do their own advising or seek out a professor for help.
That's not fair. The largest school in the University shouldn't be the hardest to get quality advising in.
For instance, unlike every other
Issue: Advising in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences
Stance: It should reflect KUs other schools.
school in the University, the college doesn't have online graduation checks. Students still must take the paperwork from Strong Hall to their department and back to be processed.
But even before graduation, the process is inadequate.
Freshmen and sophomores are met with challenges from the start. In these first two years, advising is handled through the Freshman and Sophomore Advising Center. The 10,400 students at the University in their first two years have a grand total of ten academic advisers and six faculty advisers.
That's one academic adviser for every 1,000 students and one faculty adviser for every 1,735 students.
Yet there's certainly enough faculty in the college to help with advising. There are 17,000 students with 741 faculty and about 700 graduate teaching assistants. That's one professor and one GTA for every 24 students.
In the School of Journalism there is a comparable ratio of one faculty member for every 20 students.
But until the college can gather up those resources and make them as effective as other schools, students will keep falling through the cracks. And it's hard to graduate in four if no one advises you about what to take.

Should it cost more to get a safe ride home?
YOUR OPINION
Below are some comments from kansan.com readers regarding Friday's editorial about Student Senate's proposal to increase transportation fees.
(Editor's note: The comments below appear unedited and unaltered. These comments do not necessarily reflect the opinions of The University Daily Kanan.)
"There are thousands of students who don't drink, and thousands more who are responsible enough to bring along friends to drive, call a cab, or not get drunk to the point they can't drive. There is no reason the vast majority of students should have to pay for SafeRide when
they never use it
"That is the argument for really getting rid of everything. It makes no sense for the majority of students to have to support the classes of PhD students either but for some reason we do, I bet most people have never used student legal
services, most parts of the libraries, counseling, most services in the union and 99% of clubs out there. That doesn't me we shouldn't support them. A pay as you go system would
be much more expensive and perhaps even less efficient."
"Drunk drivers affect more than themselves, not merely the students who perpetrate the crime. Malinda Osbourne is right on the money; Safe Ride should be studied and someone out there should make sure the funds it recieves are being put to the most effective use possible. Should we get up in arms about having to pay for government regulated and built roads you never use, or would we rather every single block, street, highway and every single alley had a tollboth collector on it to make sure that you don't have to pay anything unnecessarily? If we wanted to send a message that drunk driving isn't admissible, then it's up to the law enforcement and makers to create an environment of zero tolerance. There isn't a whole lot a student volunteer group who offer people a ride can do. The sad truth is that more people would end up driving drunk than responsibly arranging for a ride home. READ: Most likely underage
READ: Most likely underage people, who the government has deemed too irresponsible to
drive anyway."

Funeral protest law strays from free speech rights
COMMENTARY
It was a sad day in Anderson, Mo., on Saturday as the town gathered to mourn the death of Christopher L Marion. Marion, along with three other members of the 101st Airborne Division, was killed in Iraq by a roadside bomb. According to the Joplin Globe, hundreds of friends and strangers alike from all over the state and the midwest came to honor the memory of this brave solider. The real tragedy, however, was that Fred Phelps was not there.
Last week, Missouri passed legislation that outlawed protesting outside a funeral. The law now prevents groups like Phelp's Westboro Baptist Church from holding anti-gay attacks at funerals. While the church's spokeswoman, Shirley Phelps-Rogers, promised the Lawrence Journal-World last week that the group would be to protest no matter what the law said, no members of the Church went to Marion's funeral.
For years, Phelps has tried to spread his anti-gay message to all those willing to listen. He has warned that homosexuals are the reason for all the problems in our country, including the Iraq war. According to an article in the Lawrence Journal-World, Phelp's group has protested at funerals of homosexuals for years, but recently has focused on military fu-
and will probably try and filter out nudity and graphic violence from TV shows. It could even get to the point where groups like the KKK, whose views are very similar to Phelps', are restricted from protesting at all.
I guess what it all comes down to is this: Are all messages, including those of pure hatred, protected by our Constitution? Our founding fathers wrote the Bill of Rights to help ensure that Americans would be free and protected from oppression. So what do you do when someone, like Phelps, uses the First Amendment as justification to actively oppress Americans who are protected by the same Constitution? You do what the original founders of this country meant for us to do: Not take a vaguely written document literally, but instead interpret it and analyze it on a situational basis.
So now it is your turn to analyze the situation. Is it an infringement on our rights that Phelps is now prevented from waving vulgar and offensive signs at funerals? Or was it a violation against the ethical and moral values that govern our society that he was ever allowed to?

nerals. It is the group's belief that God is allowing soldiers in Iraq to die because we allow gays to live in our country. Unfortunately, this new Missouri law now prevents Phelps from sharing his views with the mourning loved ones of the recently deceased.
Personally, I think that this infringement of First Amendment values by the state of Missouri is an outrage. It is our right as Americans to express our feelings of hate and intolerance to anyone we please, including those mourning the deaths of loved ones. Why should people attending a funeral be prevented from hearing such important messages as "God Hates Fags" or "Queers go to Hell"?
Sadly, I'm afraid, this law is only the beginning. We are on a slippery slope now, and our government will only continue to limit our rights. If we can't protest at funerals, then it will only be a matter of time before they outlaw burning crosses in yards. They'll crack down on the media hard

Spring training for spring break
ABBY CARTER
opinion@kansan.com
It's about that time when panic attacks begin to take hold of campus. Spring break is less than two weeks away, and the bilkini doesn't look as hot as you had planned.
Don't panic — or worse, crash diet — until spring break. Stick to a clean diet and intensify your workouts a notch to lose those last five pounds. Try to steer clear of salty foods that will make you bloated and retain water. To flush excess water weight out of your system, drink more water. This will actually speed up the process. Water can help you lose weight since it fills you up. According to www.
ivillage.co.uk, water is the fuel that drives metabolism's chemical reactions. So, if you don't drink enough, you're not burning as many calories.
As far as working out goes, make sure you have a clear focus. It's easy to let your mind wander to whatever is on TV when doing cardio, but intensity is lost when you do this. Focus on why you're working out and remind yourself why it's important. This will motivate you to work harder and increase the intensity, leading to more calories being burned.
Try interval training to shock your body. Most people are used to steady-state training, where they maintain the same level throughout their workout. According to the American College of Sports Medicine, more calories are burned in short, high-intensity workouts than in long, low-intensity exercise.
You can do interval training on any type of equipment — the treadmill, stairmaster, stationary bike, elliptical, or my favorite, stadium stairs. Find a comfortable level on the piece of equipment you choose and then bump it up several levels to where you are struggling to maintain the speed or resistance. Then, after 45 seconds to 1 minute, drop back to the comfortable level and recover for a minute to a minute and a half. Repeat for about 20 minutes. Your body will love you.
Don't let all your hard work disappear as soon as spring break comes. You'd be surprised how easy it is to eat healthy when traveling, and how many opportunities you have for exercise. Step out of your normal nutrition zone and try new things. The coasts have an amazing selection of fresh seafood, vegetables and fruits. Many cruises also offer a variety of fresh fish, and different islands bring exotic foods to the table.
You can incorporate exercise wherever you're going. Save money and try to walk as much as possible. Work on your tan while playing beach volleyball or going for a run on the beach. Swimming can burn calories and can add definition to your shoulders and back. Wherever you are, use spring break as a time for relaxation, healthy eating and fun activity.

STATE
Senate to vote on casinos
S
Gambling bill would pay for education but doesn't have the votes
BY CARL MANNING THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — Even though they don't have the votes needed to pass the bill, Senate leaders say they plan to introduce a bill this week to expand gambling in Kansas, which would help pay for a court-mandated increase in public school money.
"We'll probably introduce it without the 21 votes," Senate President Steve Morris said Monday. "It's getting later in the session, and we need a way to facilitate the process."
As for the needed 21 votes, Morris (R-Hugoton) said, "We're optimistic that we'll have them."
But getting there may not be simple, said Sen. Phil Journey, a gambling opponent.
"The biggest trick will be picking up votes on the front side without losing one on the back side, because there are so
many moving pieces," said Journey (R-Haysville).
Morris declined to say how many votes he has, but Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley estimated 18 or 19 votes for the bill.
"It's time to move the process," said Hensley (D-Topeka). "Part of the problem is not having a bill. If we expect commitments, they need to know what they're committing to."
Hensley said one reason for the delay is so lawmakers can get a better idea how much the state would receive from the proposal, which includes two casinos — one in Wyandotte County and the other in southeast Kansas. The measure also calls for 7,000 slot machines divided among pari-mutuel horse and dog tracks in Frontenac, Kansas City, Wichita and Dodge City, if the town ever constructs a pari-mutuel track.
estimated at between $200 million and $300 million a year. Of that, 75 percent could be used for education and the rest for local property tax relief.
Initially, the state's share was
"We want to do it right the first time," Hensley said. "We want to be sure we're confident in the revenue estimates. Two or three years down the road, we don't want to have egg on our face."
Last week, the Senate unveiled its proposal to spend $660 million over three years to meet a Kansas Supreme Court mandate to adequately fund public education. Like a $500 million House plan unveiled the week before, it doesn't call for higher taxes.
The plan's first year can be financed with existing revenues, including cash reserves. But projections show the second and third years of increased school spending, along with other budget needs, would create a $600 million hole in the budget within three years.

pay for the school finance plan down the road. If the gambling bill fails, that leaves legislators with few options — none of them good.
"The least bad of five bad choices is gaming. If 21 senators don't agree on gaming, we'll be taking suggestions," said Senate Majority Leader Derek Schmidt (R-Independence).
The other options include raising taxes, cutting state spending, hoping state revenues will grow to meet demands, or defying the Kansas Supreme Court order to spend more money on education.
Most legislators oppose taking hikes, especially in an election year.
State revenues won't cover school funding
STATE
TOPEKA — A school finance bill will eventually make it to the House floor, but the legislator shepherding the measure through her committee said Monday it could take a while.
That's because of concerns raised late last week that a three-year, $500 million package from House leaders would exhaust state resources, absent new revenues.
The state could afford to finance the first year of the
plan with existing revenues. However, projections from legislators' staff show the next two years of the plan, along with other buget obligations, would create a shortfall that would balloon to more than $600 million by 2009.
Kathe Decker, chairwoman of the House Select Committee on School Finance, said the panel would continue working through the school finance bill, but she acknowledged that budget concerns had taken some steam out of the drive to pass it.

Don Steeples, vice president for scholarly support, represented the University last fall in a panel of five discussing various issues from the war in Iraq to reinstating the draft. The Solomon Amendment was a part of the discussion as well.
"We follow state and federal law at the University," he said. "The ROTC programs are an important part of the University, just like other programs. Students have the right to protest or participate in ROTC."
A group that included students, faculty and local residents, known as Lawrence Counter-Recruitment, conducted protests against military recruiting on campus last fall. One former member of the group declined to comment Monday and no one else could be reached.
Lynn Bretz, director of University Relations, said the University valued ROTC's campus presence, but also acknowledged that some individuals in the community opposed the "Don't ask, don't tell" policy.
"Those individuals have the right to protest the policy, just as students have the right to choose whether or not to seek career opportunities and service in the military," she said.
Capt. Amy Render, public affairs office for the Air Force recruitment service, said she was happy about the decision. ROTC programs provide a valuable service to students, she said.
"Without ROTC programs, some students might not be able to finish out their schooling," she said. "Awareness of these programs is very beneficial to students who struggle with money. This is one path to help them. It gives students the awareness to choose what they want to do, and take a career path that can be very beneficial."

According to The American Geriatrics Society, the number of adults 65 and older will nearly double to 70 million by 2030. By that time, the nation will need 36,000 trained geriatricians to care for the booming elderly population.
Swagerty said geriatricians were among the lowest-paid of all the specialty doctors. He also said that caring for elderly patients was emotionally difficult and many future doctors were interested in more glamorous
Daniel Swagerty, geriatrician and associate director of KU Medical Center's Landon Center on Aging, said there are many reasons the field of geriatrics is underserved, beginning with the pay.
fields of medicine.
"It's not as attractive to care for older adults. You have to deal with death, dying and physical rehabilitation, which is emotionally stressful but very satisfying." Swagerty said.
Swagerty believes that America may never completely fill the need for geriatricians, but there are ways to bridge the gap.
"We are currently working on ways we can emphasize geriatric training for all future medical students," Swagerty said.
He said that the government could provide more grants and tuition reimbursement programs to encourage more students into the field. He also said medical schools needed to include more geriatric training in their curriculums.

Rush receives award, history made in Big 12 Conference

KANSAN SENIOR SPORTSWRITER
For the first time in the history of the Big 12 conference, a freshman was named to the AllBig 12 first team Monday, selected by the Big 12 coaches. That freshman was Brandon Rush.
"I'm happy, but I've still got a lot of things to do the rest of the season." Rush said.
Rush averaged 14.1 points per game in the regular season and 15.1 points per game in conference games. Rush was also named Freshman of the Year.
"He deserves it. If you are going to tie for the championship at least you got to get one guy up there," Kansas coach Bill Seid said. "Brandon certainly played at a level, and led us from start to finish, that is deserving of that."
I'm happy, but I've still got a lot of things to do the rest of the season."
The first team All-Big 12 and Freshman of the Year award weren't the only pieces of hardware that Rush picked up Monday. He was named freshman of

the week for the third time this season.
Self was also named Coach of the Year for his efforts in leading a team of mainly freshmen and sophomores to a share of the Big 12 title.
Self said his staff didn't approach coaching this team differently than past seasons, but because his team was so young, he had more to teach them.
"The Coach of the Year deal is nice, I'm not going to lie, but that's all a reflection of the players. That's the way it always works," said Self, who guided his team to a 22-7 regular season after starting the season 3-4.
"Coach of the Year doesn't make a season more gratifying," Self said. "Having a team that is young win six road games and all of them being in double figures, that to me is gratifying."
"Coach really helped us a lot and taught us a lot. I think that's why we're so successful right now." freshman Mario Chalmers said.
The conference title for Self was his sixth in his past eight seasons of coaching. Besides winning the conference title last season, Self won two at Illinois and two at Tulsa.
Freshmen Julian Wright and Chalmers received honorable mention recognition from the coaches and were also named to the all-rookie team with Rush. Chalmers and Rush were the only unanimous selections to the rookie team.
“It’s a good accomplishment for us three, but we still have
a lot of work to do," Chalmers said.
Chalmers was named to the all-defensive team along with sophomore Russell Robinson. Chalmers led the conference in steals per game with 2.79 and also averaged 10.9 points per game.
"I thought Mario deserved third team, I thought Russell deserved honorable mention. But there are a lot of other coaches who say the same thing about their players." Self said.
Kansas, despite sharing the Big 12 title, did not have a trophy presentation like Texas received on Sunday. This upset some of the Kansas players.
"We shared the Big 12 title with them. We should get a presentation too," Chalmers said.
Kansas will have the opportunity to win the Big 12 Conference tournament trophy, beginning at 6 p.m. Friday in its quarterfinal match-up with either Oklahoma State or Iowa State.

Conference title deserves recognition

Kansas just won the Big 12 regular season title for the sixth time in 10 years, but that accomplishment is flying under the radar outside of Lawrence
On Saturday, "College GameNight," "SportsCenter" and ESPN.com all failed to mention Kansas' surprising championship season; although, ESPN college basketball analyst Doug Gottlieb did say, "Kansas owns Kansas State." That was nice.
But still, no one seemed to care that Kansas did what everyone thought would be nearly impossible coming into conference play — win the conference.
Why not? Because of the conference it won. Almost no one cares who wins the Big 12 this season because most people think the Big 12 stinks, except for Texas, of course, which had to win non-conference games against Villanova and Memphis to earn respect.
The most recent Power 16 poll on ESPN.com proves this. Kansas is ranked 15, with a comment about the Jayhawks said the 25-point loss at Texas confirmed the belief that the Big 12 is soft.
Kansas picked the wrong night to play poorly because apparently Texas was the only conference game that mattered this season.

After four surgeries and almost two years of rehab, Serena Settlemier will turn pro.
Settlemier, senior softball pitcher/designated hitter, was one of only 30 Division I women drafted in the 2006 National Pro Fastpitch draft two weeks ago. The Texas Thunder, a Houston franchise, drafted the Kelso, Wash., native.
Although Settlemier cannot sign with the Thunder until the conclusion of this season, she said she would definitely play in Houston.
It hasn't been an easy road for Settiemur, though. The frustration of being plagued by injuries throughout her college campaign — including a torn rotator cuff and an unusual bone-shortening surgery — left Settiemur discouraged but determined to overcome the adversity.
"I wasn't ready for my career to be over," Settlemier said. "I've worked hard all my life to pitch at the Division I level."
When Settlemier and her dad, Dan, made the trip to Lawrence before her freshman year, he told her to stay healthy.
"He told me, 'Whatever you do, don't get hurt, and don't have surgery.'" Settlemier said.
Her father's worries about injury had already been a reality with her older sister, Amy, who pitched at Utah State. Amy had three shoulder surgeries for a loose socket and never returned to softball.

Kansas to seek redemption
Losses to K-State drive players

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Kansas lost to Kansas State 62-44 Thursday on senior night in a nationally televised game that was attended by 5,000 fans.
The 6 p.m. game will not be televised, will likely not be the final game of the season for either team, and is unlikely to draw more than a handful of fans to Dallas' Reunion Arena.
Tonight's rematch will be missing those three elements.
Still, the Kansas seniors see it as a rare ninth opportunity for redemption after losing all eight
None were as embarrassing as Thursday night's blowout. Facing a young Kansas State team, Kansas players said they thought they had their best opportunity to end the streak, only to see any hopes of victory disappear before the 12-minute time-out.
games to K-State during their college tenure.
A raucous K-State contingent stayed on its feet for most of the game's final minutes, something that won't happen tonight.
Dallas is a long way to go to follow the team, especially considering that the winner will face defending national champion Baylor. That makes it unlikely that either team will bring a large following.
Both schools will likely advance to postseason play. For Kansas, it will be a birth in the Women's National Invitational Tournament. Kansas State, with an 8-8 conference record, is considered on the bubble for NCAA tournament consideration.
"I should have a better voice when it's all done," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "They'll be able to hear me."
The Wildcats will need to beat the Jayhawks and follow it up with a strong showing against the defending champion Bears to improve their chances.
Kansas arrived in Dallas on
Sunday morning and held a practice in the afternoon. Monday morning, the team practiced on the campus of Southern Methodist University, and held an afternoon shootaround in Reunion Arena.
For Kansas, the key to victory will be finding a way to build offensive momentum without relying on senior forward Crystal Kemp.

League and union agree to extent talks
NEWYORK — NFL labor negotiations took yet another surprising turn late Sunday when the league and union agreed to postpone free agency another 72 hours. The postponemet will give the sides more time to try to reach agreement on an extension to their contract.
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said the delay would give owners a chance to consider the union's latest proposal during a meeting Tuesday in Dallas.
Harold Henderson, the NFL's executive vice president for labor relations, said the union rejected a proposal that would have added $577 million for players in 2006 compared to 2005 and $1.5 billion in the six years of the extension.

Kansas, Texas share Big 12 title; Texas hogs the trophy celebration
BY DOUG TUCKER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The day before, when Kansas beat Kansas State 66-52 to clinch at least a tie with Texas, nobody from the Big 12 office was even at the game to congratulate them.
LAWRENCE — When Texas beat Oklahoma 72-48 Sunday afternoon to clinch a tie with Kansas for the Big 12 championship, the Longhorns were handed a handsome trophy to hoist in a midcourt celebration.
The co-champions from Austin were pictured in newspapers and on television proudly displaying their Big 12 trophy. The co-champions from Lawrence merely got back on their bus and went home without so much as a handshake from anybody from the conference office.

picture in the paper holding a championship trophy - can prove telling.
Needless to say, Kansas coach Bill Self and many of his fans were taken aback, and a somewhat irate Self was on the phone Monday morning with Dallas.
He heard right back from them.
"The Big 12 called me and apologized," Self said. "They
said they were sorry that our guys were not recognized, and that it was a mistake.
"Their response was, 'Bill, we made a mistake.' They said their policy is you don't recognize a team and you don't send a trophy until after it is clinched. It was a mistake by the conference office that the trophy was allowed to get to a particular school."
"The trophy was inadvertently sent to Texas due to a miscommunication from our office," said Rob Carolla, director of communications.
Carolla said part of the confusion stemmed from the fact that no one was certain heading into the final regular-season weekend who would win the title. If Kansas State had beaten Kansas and Oklahoma had beaten Texas, then the Jayhawks, Sooners
A Big 12 official told The Associated Press the problem was with the trophy company in Oklahoma City.
Post Comments
"I hope the policy is revisited because any team in our league that wins a championship is deserving of being recognized, any sport," Self said. "Whatever championship it is, you should be recognized by your conference. Obviously, we were not."
"It was just a miscommunication with our office and that's why the error occurred," Carolla said. "Kansas will have a trophy tomorrow."

Self said he's satisfied the mistake will not be repeated.

Déjà Vu.
Settlemier
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Only two weeks after Settier-mier said goodbye to her dad, she was under the knife because of a torn rotator cuff. The surgery left her in rehab for a month during the fall of 2001, before the start of softball season. The surgery didn't stop her from pitching 22 games, hitting the first home run of her career or earning all-conference honors.
If only a comeback was always that easy.
Settlemier was forced to take a medical redshirt her sophomore year after an examination of her right wrist revealed that she needed bone-shortening surgery, a procedure typically performed on the elderly. She had gone to the doctor after feeling an extremely painful grinding when she pitched.
In addition to the bone shortening, a metal plate and six screws were placed in her right lower forearm to give it stability. The scars are still visible today. Her father said the hardest thing about being away from her was making sure she was doing the right thing.
Kelly Hutsell/KANSAN
She had already been pitching with a chipped ulna, a bone extending from the elbow to the wrist, and the doctors said that the other bone in her forearm was four millimeters too long. Those four millimeters had to be shaved off.

"It was so hard to keep track of everything," he said. "We

wanted to help her choose a doctor. We looked in Portland, but there's not a lot of history with wrist problems and pitchers. They didn't know what to do, so we went to a specialist in Kansas City, and he knew exactly what it was."
Settlemier then endured a long recovery period after the bone-shortening surgery. Instead of playing or practicing with the team, she performed mundane arm exercises and physical therapy.
"After 18 months of recovery, I was so afraid to be hurt again," Settlemier said.
It wasn't an injury that struck Settlemier next, but problems caused by the metal plate that was inserted after the bone shortening. The plate was rubbing on the tendons in Settlemier's arm, creating as much pain as she felt before the surgery. Settlemier still couldn't pitch, but she became the designated pitcher for two seasons. At the end of the second season, the plate and screws were removed and she started preparing to return to the mound.
During the tumultuous time, she turned to her family for support and guidance. She said her sister, Amy, was a great person to look to for advice and inspiration. Her mother sent her one card a month with inspirational quotes, and her father pushed her through practice.
The physical and emotional rollercoaster that Settlemier endured sparked feelings of doubt and extreme frustration.
'Prove him wrong'
"At one point, I wanted to quit. I wanted to stop trying to come back," Settlemier said. "I was so frustrated that I lost a year, and had to sit out two. I want to be remembered as a good player, not for my surgeries and as someone that didn't offer anything to the team."
"She went through mental distress, tears, everything you could think of," Dan said. "When she'd come home, we'd help her mental areas and tell her, 'You're going to do OK.'"
Settlemian's dad calls her the "comeback kid."
that she was likely to never pitch again in her life. Fighting through the injuries to make a difference on the Kansas team became her ambition.
Settlemier's doctor told her
"I set high standards for myself as a person, and I wanted to prove him wrong," she said.
'Comeback kid' returns
The opportunity to play with Thunder members Amanda Freed and Christa Williams, Team USA softball Olympians, is an experience Settlemier is not willing to pass up.
Proving her doctors wrong is just what Settlemier did. She is back as one of the six seniors carrying the Kansas softball team early in the season.
On Feb. 19 In the Louisville Slugger Classic, Settlemier hit two home runs, one of which was a grand slam, and accounted for five of the nine RBI against UNLV. Last Saturday, Settlemier pitched a shutout against No. 17 Nebraska to end a 10-game 'Huskers winning streak.
"Even if I'm not starting, I'm hoping to learn a lot from them because they are some of the best," she said. "That will be a good experience in itself."
Her comeback is not only being felt in Division I softball, but in the professional realm. The Thunder drafted Settlemiier alongside Louisiana-Lafayette's Krystal Lewallen and UCLA's Emily Zaplatosch. Texas outfielder Tina Boutelle will also join Settlemiier in Houston.

Judging the Jayhawks on that game was foolish. Texas plays great at home, proven by its 24-point victory against Oklahoma on Sunday. It was also Kansas' worst game since December.
In spite of that loss, Kansas has defeated 12 of its past 13 opponents by an average of 19 points a game. Any team that hot, and with the best record in a major conference, should be in the mix of national title talk.
But not Kansas. Kansas is only a dark horse, not a favorite, because no one is predicting glory for the Jayhawks. But, then again, no one predicted a Big 12 conference title either.
But then again, to deserve credit you have to earn it. Performing well in the NCAA tournament is the best way to do that.
Kansas isn't the only Big 12 team struggling to receive the recognition it deserves. Texas A&M finished fourth in the conference with 10 Big 12 victories, which included seven victories in a row and a defeat of Texas.
Connecticut, Duke, Ohio State, Louisiana State, Gonzaga and Texas, all conference champions, are certainly mentioned when someone asks the question, "Who will win it all?"
That sounds like a tournament resumé to me, but Texas A&M's fate has yet to be decided. ESPN's Jay Bilas said that the Aggies were out because the Longhorns were their only quality victory. ESPN's "Bracketologist" Joe Lunardi has the Aggies as his last team in.
that the Missouri Valley Conference, a mid-major conference, has a chance at six.
A strong showing by Kansas and the rest of the Big 12 conference could put the Jayhawks on top of next year's pre-season polls.

with an injured ankle during the past week and a half.
"Offensively, it's glaring we have to get better looks," Henrickson said. "It's just execution of the offense."
She added that defensively, the Jayhawks will try to shut down the Wildcats' three-point shooting. Kansas allowed seven three-pointers Thursday, all of them uncontested.
The three seniors can also draw on the motivation of being beaten at home on their senior night, but getting one last chance to break the streak, even if that victory comes in a different state.

Youngsters impact Big 12's outcome
BY DANIEL BERK
dberk@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR SWIPETWISTER
It was a tough year to be a coach in the conference. Missouri coach Quin Snyder resigned after being told he would not be retained after the season.
The 2005-2006 Big 12 basketball season might be remembered more for what happened off the court,rather than what took place on the court.
Snyder was given the boot after Baylor dismantled his team on the road. 90-64.
Former Texas A&M coach Melvin Watkins took over for Snyder on an interim basis and has only won two games since.
Missouri will begin its search for a new head coach after the season. It is rumored that Mike Anderson from Alabama-Birmingham, Dana Altman from Creighton and ESPN analyst Rick Majerus are top candidates for the job.
Snyder wasn't the only Big 12 coach who didn't finish the season on the sidelines. Legendary Oklahoma State coach Eddie Sutton took a leave of absence from his team, while his son, Sean Sutton, took over.
Sutton was involved in a car accident on his way to meet his team before boarding a plane to College Station, Texas.
Sutton was later given a citation by the Stillwater, Okla., police department for driving under the influence of alcohol.
Sutton held a press conference after he took the leave of absence and announced he has a problem with alcohol and would enter a rehabilitation facility for help.
It is expected that Sutton will not coach again. Sutton.
who coached at Kentucky as well as Oklahoma State, was just six victories shy of 800 career victories.
Another coach, Jim Wooldridge from Kansas State, was also forced to miss
some time from his team. Wooldridge missed a few conference games while recovering from surgery to repair a disc problem in his neck.
When Kansas State and Missouri played each other
on Feb. 12, it marked the first time in conference history that two interim coaches coached against each other.
On the court, the season will be remembered for a number of young players making a
big impact on their team.
Heading that list is the Kansas's Player of the Year, LaMarcus Aldridge. Aldridge, a sophomore, averaged 15.4 points per game and 8.9 rebounds per game. He had a big night against Kansas, scoring 18 points on 9-of-10 shooting from the field and also grabbed eight rebounds along with four blocked shots.
Aldridge was joined by fellow sophomore Daniel Gibson to form the best inside-outside combination in the conference.
Gibson averaged 13.8 points per game and had his best game against Baylor, scoring 37 points.
The 2005-2006 season also saw normal conference contenders Texas Tech and Oklahoma State struggle.
Texas Tech coach Bobby Knight's team is young and struggled on the road all season. The Red Raiders finished the season with a conference record under 500.
Oklahoma State had to reload from a team last year that featured six seniors — including four starters — who played regularly.
Although the team pulled a huge upset when it beat Texas at home, it still struggled this season and will look to build with young players, such as sophomore guard JamesOn Curry and junior forward Mario Boggan.
A team that did finish in the bottom of the standings where most people expected it to finish was Bavlor.
Baylor couldn't play any non-conference games this season and had to wait to play its first game until January, when it played Texas Tech.
Baylor was serving a probation given by the NCAA for previous violations.
Baylor managed to surprise a few teams, including Iowa State and Texas Tech. It is a young team that should show improvements next season.

Tournament just one step
Conference tournaments are big teases. They mean nothing.
Don't chase the title. The conference tournament only provides false hopes for the K-State's of the world, teams attempting to chase down an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. And for the teams who always get asked to the dance like Kansas, winning the conference tournament means a slip-up ahead.
Since the Big Eight Conference tournament's inception in 1977, the Jayhawks have won seven conference tournament titles. And only in 1986 did that carry over into a Final Four appearance. When Roy's boys were pumping out conference tourney titles like Missouri pumps out NCAA investigations, three straight conference tourney titles from 1997 to 1999, all led to heartbreak in the NCAA tournament.
In 1997, the best team in the regular season was Kansas. Everyone thought the Jayhawks, who lost only one game in the regular season and won the Big 12 tournament, were a lock for the Final Four and probably the national title.
But then Mike Bibby and Miles Simon came along in the Sweet 16 and sent Roy, and myself, home crying. And coincidently, the Pac 10 tournament didn't exist yet. Arizona entered the tournament with fresh legs. The next year Paul Pierce and Raef LaFrentz again led Kansas to another Big 12 Conference crown and a No. 1 seed in the tournament, which got them to the second round, where traditional powerhouse Rhode Island ended the season. And that wasn't even the biggest shocker scenario for a Jayhawk conference tournament. Back in 1992, Kansas, a No. 2 seed, met with Texas-El Paso in the second round. I know, sounds more like salsa than a basketball

team. But the mighty Miners beat the Jawhaves 66-60.
So you're not convinced yet that a conference tournament championship is the key to doom and gloom in the Big Dance? Well, remember the 1988 team? OK, maybe you don't since you were watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and not the NCAA tournament. But you've heard how Danny and the Miracles won six straight games so they could cut the nets in Kansas City.
In the conference tournament that year, Kansas lost to K-State, when the Wildcats fielded somewhat teams. And in the Jayhawks next two big dance marches to the final game, 1991 and 2003, both teams lost in the conference tournament semi-finals. And in 1993 and 2002, both Final Four trips for the Jayhawks, both came off the coattails of semi-final setbacks in the conference tournament.
So don't worry about chasing the Big 12 postseason crown this week for the Baby Jayhawks. Don't flirt with a tease. My advice: lose on purpose. Get some rest. Because three straight victories down in Dallas won't win you a date with destiny. But three straight games in three straight days does lead most teams to fatigue and primed for an early exit in the NCAA tournament.

Kansas City or Dallas?
Both cities have appeal for Big 12
BY MARK DENT
mdent@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
But that time has passed.
Eddie Sutton growled and grimaced on the perennially successful Oklahoma State sideline, the University of Texas version of Luke Axtell knocked down three after three despite the handicap of his curly hair rendering him nearly blind, and the postseason tournament meant Kansas City.
Remember the early days of Big 12 basketball?
Sean Sutton is now grimming and giving hope to a surprisingly mediocre Oklahoma State team, Axtell couldn't overcome his handicap of a bad back and is now living out his dream on a Texas ranch, and the Big 12 tournament means Dallas.
After Kansas City hosted the event for 23 years, the games were moved to Dallas for 2003 and 2004. Kansas City had a shot again last year, and Dallas is the host site once again for this season's tournament. But which city is the better site?
For as basketball-crazy as Kansas City is, the city's NBA franchise, The Kansas City Kings, moved away more than
For a city to have a successful Big 12 tournament, more ingredients need to be present than those in an El Fenix fajita or a slab of ribs at Gate. Some of those necessary aspects include the arenas, nightlife, shopping, food and, of course, basketball.
Current State of Basketball
Right now, there are 17 players from the Dallas area on Big 12 teams compared with only seven players from Kansas City. Also, Dallas' talent has been much stronger in recent years with the likes of current NBA players Chris Bosh, Ike Diogu, Deron Williams, Kenyon Martin, and Desmond Mason. Kansas City's talent has not been nearly as potent as Dallas'. Only Tyronn Lue, Earl Watson, and Kareem Rush are currently representing Kansas City in the NBA, and they are all role players.
20 years ago. As for Dallas, the Mavericks are one of the most successful NBA teams in the win and cash columns.
Deciding Factor: Chris Bosh is really, really good. Dallas.
Fan Interest
When the Big Eight expanded to the Big 12, it was obvious that the state of Texas would get a few of the big events. The only problem is that fans from the original Big Eight schools are more likely to make the trip and Kansas City is closer to most of those schools than Dallas.
Deciding Factor: Cherish the good oie' days. Kansas City.
Kemper Arena has been in Kansas City's West Bottoms since 1974, and since then it has been upgraded only once in 1997. The obsoleteness of Kemper is part of the reason why the tournament has moved to the state-of-the-art American Airlines Arena, which seats 20,000. In addition to the Big 12 tournament, the arena is hosting first-round NCAA tournament games this March.
Deciding Factor: Newer is better in this case. Dallas.
Arenas
For a city to have a successful Big 12 tournament, more ingredients need to be present than those in an El Fenix fajita or a slab of ribs at Gate's.
Dining
Dallas claims to be one of the best cities for Tex-Mex, and some of the best choices include Pappasito's, the upper-class Blue Mesa, and El Fenix, which claims to be the first Tex-Mex restaurant created. Kansas City is known for two foods: steak and barbecue. More than 100 restaurants specialize in barbecue, including the nationally known Arthur Bryant's.
Deciding Factor: Pass over the plate of burnt ends. Kansas City.
Entertainment
Since the tournament doesn't last all day, there's always the matter of finding something to do between games. Kansas City has a few offerings for shopping and activities including the Country Club Plaza, Crown Center and the River Market. But all of them are at least an eight-minute drive away from Kemper. Westport is known for its nightlife as well, but it is five miles from the arena.
The Dallas Convention and Visitors Bureau boasts that Dallas has more shopping per capita than any other city in the country. Downtown areas such as Deep Ellum, West End, and Uptown offer the aforementioned shopping, plus nightlife opportunities, all located less than two miles from American Airlines Arena.
Deciding Factor: Walking Uptown sounds better than five miles of traffic. Dallas.

Padres rock Royals in spring game
TUESDAY, MARCH 7, 2006
SURPRISE, Ariz. — David Ross hit two home runs and drove in four runs and Shawn Estes pitched three scoreless innings as the San Diego Padres topped the Kansas City Royals 8-3 on Monday.
Ross hit a solo shot in the third inning off Royals left-hander Jeremy Affeldt. In the Padres' five-run fourth, he homered off Adam Bernero with Mark Bellhorn and Josh Barfield aboard.
Estes, who was making his first start for the Padres, allowed two singles, walked one and struck out two.
Affeldt, who was used strictly in relief last season but is a candidate for the Royals' rotation in spring training, also allowed a home run to Mike Cameron in the first inning. Affeldt, who took the loss, gave up two runs on three hits.
S
Chip Ambres, who the Royals acquired in a trade last July with the Boston Red Sox, hit two home runs.

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Former Kansas football and basketball player Cliff McDonald will be the grand marshal for Lawrence's Saint Patrick's Day Parade. The Parade will begin at 1 p.m. on March 17.
NFL Combine report — Former defensive end Chariton Keith attended the NFL Combine in Indianapolis, Ind., recently and ran the 40-yard dash in 4.78 seconds. Whether Keith, a 238-pound defensive lineman, will stay a defensive lineman or move to linebacker in the NFL is still up in the air.
Former cornerback/wide receiver Charles Gordon attended the combine as well. Gordon ran two sub-par 40-yard dashes at 4.53 and 4.62 seconds, respectively. He also ran a not-so-intriguing 4.27 short shuttle, which tests quickness and explosiveness, so there are concerns about whether he can be the playmaker he was at Kansas in the NFL. Gordon led the NCAA with seven interceptions in 2004. Gordon and Keith are projected to get drafted.
Todd McShay of Scouts Inc. listed Gordon as one of the combine's 10 losers on www.espn.com. McShay said Gordon lacked a true position fit in his transition from college to the NFL.
Big 12 defensive backs who performed well in the 40-yard dash included Texas' Michael Huff (4.34), Baylor's Willie Andrews (4.38) and Nebraska's Daniel Bullocks (4.38). The NFL draft is set for April 29-30.
KU Pro Day — Kansas will hold Pro Day March 15. Former linebacker Nick Reid, former wide receiver Mark Simmons and other seniors will perform workouts similar to the combine in front of NFL personnel.
Bobby Douglass, former KU All-American, will be inducted into the Kansas Sports Hall of Fame. Douglass led the Jayhawks to the Big Eight title and Orange Bowl in 1969. He continued his career in the NFL with the Chicago Bears.
- Topeka practice — On April 1, the Jayhawks will play host to one of their spring workouts in Topeka. The practice will be at 2 p.m. in Hummer Park. The event is free.

Baltimore Orioles Jay Gibbons is safe at the plate, to score as the St. Louis Cardinals catcher Gary Bennett applies the late tag in the third inning of their spring training baseball game in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., on Monday.
MLB
Cardinals cleaned by Orioles
BY DAVID GINSBURG THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Kevin Millar doubled in two runs and scored during a four-run third inning against Jason Marquis, and the Baltimore Orioles got 21 hits in a 12-8 victory against the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday.
Andy Tracy homered for the Orioles, and prospect Nick Markakis doubled twice in two at-bats. Markakis, the seventh overall pick in the 2003 draft, is 6-for-7 with four runs in 12 trips to the plate this spring — an on-base percentage of .909 over five games.
"Let's just say he's certainly
up to the competition he's facing so far," Orioles manager Sam Perlozzo said.
Making his first start of the spring, Marquis allowed two hits in two scoreless innings before coming unlugged in the third. With two outs and runners on the corners, Jay Gibbons singled in a run before Millar chased Marquis with a double to left that made it 3-3.
"For two innings I thought I did a pretty good job. I got a little fatigued in the third inning," Marquis said. "They were out there swinging, but overall I thought it went pretty good."
leff Conine followed with an

Jason Marquis
St. Louis Cardinals pitcher
RBI single off Braden Looper, putting the Orioles ahead for good. Conine went 3-for-3.
Brian Daubach and Chris Duncan homered for the Cardinals. Daubach's shot to right came off Orioles starter Jim Johnson, who yielded three runs and four hits in two innings.
Because four of the five members of Baltimore's starting rotation are involved in the World Baseball Classic, Orioles manager Sam Perlozzo went with Johnson, who was the Carolina League pitcher of the year for Class-A Frederick. But he was no match for a St. Louis lineup peppered with backups.
Millar is batting .364 in four games.
Duncan had three of the Cardinals' 11 hits.

OBITUARY
45-year-old Twins legend Puckett dies dav after stroke
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MINNEAPOLIS — Kirby Puckett died Monday, a day after the Hall of Fame outfielder had a stroke at his Arizona home. He was 45.
Fans, family remember jovial outfielder's home runs, smiles
Puckett died at St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center in Phoenix. He had been in intensive care since having surgery at another hospital following his stroke Sunday morning.
Puckett was given last rites and died in the afternoon, hospital
The bubbly, barrel-shaped Puckett carried the Twins to World Series titles in 1987 and 1991 before his career was cut short by glaucoma. His family, friends and former teammates gathered at the hospital Monday.
spokeswoman Kimberly Lodge said.
"On behalf of Major League Baseball, I am terribly saddened by the sudden passing of Kirby Puckett," commissioner Bud Selig said. "He was a Hall of Famer in every sense of the term.
"He played his entire career with the Twins and was an icon in Minnesota. But he was revered throughout the country and will be remembered wherever the game is played. Kirby was taken from us much too soon — and too quickly," he said.
Puckett broke into the majors in
1984 and had a career batting average of .318. Glaucoma left the sixtime Gold Glove center fielder and 10-time All-Star with no choice but to retire after the 1995 season when he went blind in his right eye.
Out of the game, the 5-foot-8 Puckett put on a considerable amount of weight, which concerned those close to him.
"It's a tough thing to see a guy go through something like that and come to this extent," former teammate Kent Hrbek said Monday night.
"That's what really hurt him bad, when he was forced out of the
game," he said. "I don't know if he ever recovered from it."
Asked what he would remember the most from their playing days, Hrbek quickly answered, "Just his smile, his laughter and his love for the game."
Puckett was elected to the Hall of Fame on his first try in 2001 and thrilled the crowd in Cooperstown when he said, "I'm telling you, anything is possible" during his induction speech.
His plaque praised his "everpresent smile and infectious exuberance."
"This is a sad day for the Minnesota Twins, Major League Baseball and baseball fans everywhere," Twins owner Carl Pohlad said.
Puckett's signature performance came in Game 6 of the 1991 World
Series against Atlanta. After telling anyone who would listen before the game that he would lead the Twins to victory that night at the Metrodome, he made a leaping catch against the fence and then hit a game-ending homer in the 11th inning to force a seventh game.
The next night, Minnesota's Jack Morris went all 10 innings to outlast John Smoltz and pitch the Twins to a 1-0 win for their second championship in five years.
"If we had to lose and if one person basically was the reason — you never want to lose — but you didn't mind it being Kirby Puckett. When he made the catch and when he hit the home run you could tell the whole thing had turned," Smoltz said Monday night.

Immigrant in-state tuition upheld
BY FRED A. DAVIS III

KANSAN STUDIO WRITER
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 8, 2006
The threat to repeal in-state tuition for undocumented residents came and went Tuesday on the Kansas House of Representatives floor.
An amendment proposed by Rep. Tom Holland (D-Baldwin City), reworded the body of the original in-state tuition repeal, and instead called for the bill to exact harasser penalties on companies that hire illegal immigrants.
Rep. Becky Hutchins (R-Hotton) called it "gutting the bill."
After an hour of arguing both sides of the amendment, the House voted on part A of the amendment, which subsequently killed the in-state tuition repeal, and narrowly accepted it 63-58.
Rules Committee chairman Clark Shultz (R-Lindsborg) said the amendment was pertinent to the bill before the debate started on the amendment.
Holland argued on the floor after the bill was introduced that if Kansas was serious about illegal immigration, it should not wait for federal legislation to do something about the problem. Rather, Kansas should make others take notice by focusing on the cause of illegal immigration, which he said was the companies that hire illegal immigrants.
Holland's amendment struck down the original language of the in-state tuition bill, making it about the companies that hire illegal immigrants and what the penalties would be for those that violate the proposal.
The penalties weren't agreed upon. The bill was ultimately voted to be sent back to the Federal and State Affairs Committee to be reworked with the new provisions.
That was little consolation to Hutchins because her repeal attempt was denied.
"Sixty-three people thought the current law is good, but I worry about what the courts are going to do and the effect it could have on the taxpayers," Hutchins said, referring to the lawsuit that is attempting to overturn the in-state tuition law on behalf of citizens living out of state paying nonresident tuition.
An earlier lawsuit to overturn the law was thrown out of court.

King's story still inspires
BY ANNE WELTMER

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
When Maurice King and the rest of the 1954 University of Kansas basketball team got off its train in Dallas and checked into the Hilton Hotel, King was turned away because he was black.
Instead, he had to stay in a dormitory with the players from Southern Methodist University, the opposing team.
The KU basketball team is again travelling to Dallas, this time to play in the Big 12 Conference tournament. In contrast to King's experience 52 years ago, the nine African-American and four white players will all stay under the same roof at the Fairmont Hotel.
When the team went on to Houston to play Rice University, the hotel there refused to let King stay; he spent the night at the home of a wealthy black businessman who owned a night club in Houston. Most of that first year, he couldn't stay with the rest of the team on the road.
Things have changed since 1954. King was only the second African-American basketball player at KU LeVanness Squires was the first — and the first black starter in KU history. He was repeatedly confronted by segregation in Lawrence and on the road with
the team. He proved that black athletes could overcome the oppression and helped pave the way for a young Wilt Chamberlain, who arrived at the University King's junior year.
King went on to play professional basketball for the Boston Celtics at a time when a rookie's salary was only $6,500, while the top player on the team, Bill Russell, earned only $17,000 per year. Even though King left the University a few credits short of a degree, he came back to Lawrence and finished after his basketball career ended. He then became a physical education teacher in his hometown of Kansas City and later worked at Hallmark Cards until his retirement. Today, he continues to stress
the value of education to his own children and grandchildren.
King came to the University in 1955 but like all freshman, the 6-foot-2-inch forward couldn't play until his sophomore year. When he took the court a year later, he faced the same discrimination he would meet in Dallas.
When the team went on to Houston to play Rice University, the hotel there refused to let King stay; he spent the night at the home of a wealthy black businessman who owned a night club in Houston. Most of that first year he couldn't stay with the rest of the team on the road.

Mahdi Obeidi, the former chief scientist of Iraq's nuclear weapons program, spoke to 500 people in Budig Hall Tuesday night about his experience with the Iraqi effort to create nuclear weapons.
Iraq had the potential to create hun dreds of bombs, but concentrated on a single weapon of mass destruction the country never completed, a former Iraqi scientist said.
Saddam Hussein suspended his initial desire for hundreds of bombs to create a single, more dangerous bomb in the early 1980s, Obeidi said, because of the societal implications of widespread destruction.
"How can we fight one bomb?" he said. "It is one bomb that could change the world order as we know it."
Hussein "lived in a fantasy world,"
desiring unrealistic weapons, Obeidi said. Any threat is a matter of perception, he said, and Iraq's former neurotic dictator's agenda was fueled by fear.
"Violence is an answer to fear," he said. "Saddam was afraid. He feared his neighbors, and his neighbors feared him."
Hussein wrestled scientists into his project by manipulating their fear, Obeidi said, while simultaneously convincing himself that he was armed and dangerous. Scientists worked in the program out of national pride, eager to see their country prosper, he said.
Obeidi said all of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction were disassembled in the early 1990s, and the evidence of them was hidden.
Hussein evicted United Nations weapons inspectors in 1998, when only the plans for weapons remained.

Photojournalist Gordon Parks died Tuesday afternoon at the age of 93.
Recently honored artist dies
WWW.KANSAN.COM
OBITUARY
Journalism school dean Ann Brill recently gave Parks the William Allen White Foundation's 2006 National Citation. The award is given annually to someone who has achieved
a significant accomplishment in journalism.
In his lifetime, Parks achieved fame not only as a photographer but also as a poet, author and director. He was the first African-American photographer to shoot for Life and Vogue magazines, and the first African-American to give a speech at the University of Missouri.
Rich Clarkson, fellow photographer and KU alumnus, said in addition to all the things Parks did creatively, he also played a significant role in the civil rights movement of the country.
Ben Gleeson put it perfectly when he introduced a scenario to a panel of men at the feMENismn discussion Tuesday evening. Gleeson, Lawrence senior, complained on an issue in his history class that particularly annoyed him, in which a graduate teaching assistant continuously addressed only a female student, when asking questions about a woman in history.
John G. Younger, professor of classics and humanities and Western Civilization, sarcastically told Gleeson how he could handle the issue: say that he was a transsexual and had a comment.

According to the panel, many students don't know what feminism means and how it should be addressed. The fact that males can be feminists was less known.
A commission of five men from the University decided to discuss women's issues, publicly addressing questions posed by a feminist KU student organization.
Allyson Bedford, Tulsa, Okla. senior and treasurer of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW), said the group was trying to make people on campus more aware of women's issues. She said she was pleased with the turnout to the event.

"Gordon was one of the most artistic of all Kansans, who touched so many people in so many amazing ways." he said.

"Quote of the Day"
"When a person places the proper value on freedom, there is nothing under the sun that he will not do to acquire that freedom. Whenever you hear a man saying he wants freedom, but in the next breath he is going to tell you what he won't do to get it, or what he doesn't believe in doing in order to get it, he doesn't believe in freedom."
Malcolm X
F act of the Day
What's the deal with the # symbol? It's known in the United States as the "pound sign", and is sometimes used as a symbol for a pound of weight. The British, who use the libra (£) for a pound of weight, are confused by this. The strangest name for # is "octothorpe", which is said to have been invented in the '60s by an employee of Bell Laboratories in honor of the great American athlete Jim Thorpe.

KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
Thom Alexander is the executive director of Americana Music Academy at 1419 Massachusetts St. He received a master's degree in social studies education, and is working on a second one in museum studies, Americana Music Academy was recently chosen by the city commissioners to occupy the Carnegie Library on Ninth and New Hampshire streets.
Q: What is the best thing about moving into the Carnegie Library?
A: The Carnegie Library is a totally boss building. It is three times the size of our house now, so we can support enough of a student base to grow for the next 10-20 years without moving.
Also, it gets the building opened up so the community at large can have access to it again.
The original intention of Carnegie Library was for the community to be able to access culture, letters and art. That's why I am so excited because we can do that.
Q: How will your museum studies degree help you?
A: I always planned on doing an archive of folk music history at the academy, and museum studies seemed like the most appropriate program for me to get fundamental rounding for these things. If I've got a degree I'll probably get a lot more support from museum organizations. They look at museums and help them before individual groups, so I have the opportunity to do it right and have connections for foundation money.
Who's Who at KU Alexander
Thom Alexander Director of Americana Music Academy
Q: What exactly are you archiving?
A: Primarily guitar, but I also play the bass and mandolin. I started in June of 1963.
A: The regional music roots of the area. All folk music is based on stuff that happened from the time this area was settled until now, and includes rock 'n' roll and more. But I do not want to archive jazz because it has been covered as much as it is ever going to be covered here since this is area is one of the jazz centers of the world. Folk and other music is not as documented.
Q: What instruments do you
play?
Q: What do you think is one of the biggest misconceptions about American Music Academy?
strength in the community?
the biggest misconceptions in Americana Music Academy?
A: Probably that people think we are just some sort of guitar school. Americana has a three-pronged mission. One is the archive. Two is teaching and learning to keep American roots music alive, because it is more than the guitar, it is the mandolin, dulcimer, banjo, country fiddle, bowed saw and more. And three, to increase music therapy for handicapped kids. It is a very good form of help for people with neurological disorders. It helps my son tremendously with his disability. We need to expand music therapy, and I'm going to be the guy to do it.
Q: What is Americana's greatest
strength in the community?
A: It is about making our community stronger through music and being able to help folks who don't have access to any kind of instrumentation. It is self-entertainment, something that people have been doing for thousands of years, even 30-40 years ago the tradition was strong but it's starting to get lost. People just don't pick up an instrument for the enjoyment of it. People are turned into sedentary stuff like iPods, the computer or TV. It is not something that is uniquely out of them.
Q: What is one of the challenges to teaching music?
A: Nothing is really hard as long as the teacher understands the subject matter and knows how to communicate it to people with different learning styles. You have to understand how to communicate, and a lot of people don't.
You don't want to spend a month with someone and feel like you aren't progressing. Learning and teaching comes in little teeny steps ... put them together and soon you have a long road behind you.
Q: If you had one dream day to do anything you wanted what would you do?
A: If I had one dream day I would like to sit and drink beer with Paul McCartney or Jimi Hendrix and just talk music.
Early morning pileup
This aerial view shows rescue crews as they attend to an accident Tuesday, involving 13 tractor-trailers and several cars on a foggy highway near Beille Glade, Fla. According to the Florida Highway Patrol, six people were injured and two critically in the early morning pileup. Authorities believe thick fog led to the pileup on U.S. 27 in south Florida causing a tanker truck to rear-end another from behind, causing it to exploded in flames.

King
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
On a trip to Oklahoma for a Big Seven Conference game, the team, including King, stayed in a hotel on campus. But when they got to the train station there, he followed the team into the waiting room, not realizing there was a separate room for "colored people." He was asked to leave.
The news media paid little attention to the discrimination he faced, he said.
The newspapers "were just as racist" as everyone else, he explained with his thick, baritone voice.
King said his coaches, Phog Allen and Dick Harp, ultimately got fed up with his treatment and "began to make a little noise."
When the team tried to eat at a restaurant in an air-port terminal and King was refused service, the coaches quickly arranged for a private room so the whole team could eat breakfast together. King recalled.
Jerry Waugh, Harp's assistant coach when he took over as coach in 1956, said Harp was meticulous in planning trips and insisted the team always stay together. Harp even rotated roommates for each trip so that two black players didn't always end up staring together.
When the Jajahawks went to the NCAA Regionals in 1957 in Dallas, they chose to stay in a Fort Worth-area hotel, which accepted blacks, rather than in the official tournament hotel, which didn't. No other teams at the tournament had a black player. Waugh said.
Even at home in Lawrence, King said he faced discrimination. On home game days the team ate lunch in the Kansas Union, and then all of the white players took a bus somewhere, King recalled. The coaches always told King to go home and take a nap, and he thought nothing of it. Later he'd meet the team at a small café near campus for Ovation and celery right before the game. He said he always thought it was strange that the white players all showed up together on the bus, but he figured the bus just went around and picked them up.
He later learned that the team went to the Eldridge Hotel after lunch to take a nap. Hotel management at that time refused to allow blacks.
Lawrence was a segregated city. King said, "they subscribed to it. They were going along with segregation," he said, pointing out how hard it was to find restaurants that served blacks. One sandwich shop downtown allowed blacks to order sandwiches to go, but not to sit down in the restaurant, he recalled.
Things were actually better for King than most blacks because he was a celebrity. During Christmas break, he would hang out with teammates at their all-white fraternities, and then they would all go to a movie. He could sit with his teammates, rather than in the black section of the theater, and no one objected.
"Everyone in Lawrence pretty much knew me," he said. "When you're the only brown-skinned guy out there, who's not going to know you?"
In 1955, everything changed quickly. The Eldridge began to accept King as well, and so did everyone else. Wilt Chamberlain came to the University.

Maurice E. King
Though he was just a freshman, everyone was in awe of the young player. Chamberlain had never experienced segregation on the east coast, King said, and no one wanted to upset him when he got to Kansas. Restaurants, hotels, theaters and other public places desegregated for him. "When Wilt Chamberlain came to that campus, a lot of that foolishness stopped." King said.
According to King, today's minority athletes take their acceptance for granted.
"I was busy just trying to survive," he said. "If I came to this university and failed, that was going to be a setback for other minority athletes. When I came here, I was scared to death of failure."

Chamberlain may have been the most talented player on the team, but King had talent too, a basketball star from grade school on.
"I didn't know what I was going to do," he said. "In my family, we didn't talk about stuff like that. We talked about what we would eat that night," King said.
He said dealing with segregation only added to the burden of working hard in practice — being physically exhausted and then having to go home and read 1000 pages to be prepared for class the next day.
King was born to a working class family and raised in Kansas City, Mo. His parents, Maurice King and Lillian Walker, divorced when he was five years old, and his father moved to New York City. King said his mother worked hard as a waitress and tried to find other ways to make a little extra money, but the family also relied on welfare checks.
King discovered basketball on the playground in sixth grade. People watched him play there, and soon he was invited to play on church teams at the YMCA.
Road trips were even harder. "School still goes on while you're out there on the road." he said.
King figured he would end up working at a blue-collar job after graduating high school, if he graduated at all. Not only did he graduate. King ended up being the first in his family to earn a college degree.
Joe King, his brother, recalled seeing Maurice play in Paseo Park with other kids. He played a game called "goal high," which was like basketball, only the goal had no backboard. Joe credits this game with giving Maurice his most valuable basketball skills.
The goal was made of a metal pole and a rim about three feet in circumference, Joe said. Kids would play three-on-three. Not having a backboard required more accuracy than regular basketball.
He went on to become a high school star. "Playing against other people, I found out I was pretty doggone good at it," he said.
King attended all-black R.T. Coles Vocational High School in Kansas City, Mo. There he excelled at basketball and received attention from several colleges and The Call, a local newspaper that wrote about black America, especially with regard to sports.
"It was a really big thing for a kid to have his name written up in The Call," King said.
In high school he dated many girls, including his future wife, and another girl with whom he fathered his oldest daughter, Yasmin. Though the couple never married, Yasmin did live with King later in his life.
King lived during an era when African-Americans "had to be super" to even get noticed, and King was, said Jack Bush, King's high school assistant coach.
He was thinking about attending a black college like Lincoln University or Tennessee State University, but KU assistant coach Dick Harpwent to watch King play during his junior year in high school.
Jerry Waugh, KU assistant coach, said "Reece," as his teammates called King, was a "sweet-like-candy player" and a quiet guy with a great sense of humor.
"If you were going to choose up a team, you'd want Maurice on your team." Waugh said.
Harp made him feel wanted, and his high school coach pushed King to attend KU, so that's where he ended up.
The University was the first integrated school King ever attended. While basketball came easy, he didn't think he would have made it through the University without the help of Jesse Milan, a graduate student in education, and a member and advisor for King's black fraternity, Kappa Alpha Psi. Milan said he helped "Pauncho," as he called King, develop good study habits.
After four years of playing for Kansas, the Celtics drafted King in after the 1957 season. He was Kansas' second-leading scorer in 1956, averaging of 14 points per game, and the third-leading scorer in 1957 averaging 9.7 points per
game. A few credits sh of graduation, he elected to go to the Celtics because of their prestige. The NBA had only eight teams at the time, and he felt fortunate to be offered a position.
While playing for the Celtics he was drafted into the Army, where he served a mandatory two years and played basketball for the Fifth Army team at Fort Leonard Wood, Mo. He joined several other All-Americans on that team.
While at Fort Leonard Wood he reconnected with Jelena Nicholson, whom he'd dated in high school, when King played a game against Lincoln University, Jelena, a student at Lincoln, said she'd always had a crush on King and even tried out for cheerleading in high school to be closer to him. The two married in 1958. After his time in
the Army, he went back to the Celtics but Jelena stayed home in Kansas City. The long distance relationship didn't last. The pay in the NBA at the time wasn't enough for him to support her coming to live with him in Boston. They divorced.
"Life in professional wasn't all that glamorous in those days," he said.
The Celtics traded him to the Chicago Zephyr, where he earned his highest pay in the NBA — $10.000. When the Zephyr moved to Baltimore, King stayed in Kansas City and played for the Steers of the old American Basketball League before it folded.
When he moved back to Kansas City after completing his degree at the University in 1964, he taught physical education at Northwest Junior High
for four years, and he and Jelena remarried.
In 1966, he took a part time job at Hallmark Cards and ended up leaving his teaching job two years later to be a Hallmark human resources representative. He retired in 1991.
He and Jelena like to spend time with their grandchildren, and he listens to jazz and "yesterday's rock and roll," plays cards, drinks coffee, and chats with golf friends, one of whom was his high school coach, Jack Bush.
"You don't find too many former high school students 40 years later being a close friend of a former teacher," Bush said.
Although retired, King worked with the Kansas City Board of Education to start an alternative school program, and as a small-business consultant until 2000.
He is a trustee and sings in the male choir at Concord Fortress of Hope Baptist Church. He always dresses with class: a long leather jacket cinched along the waistline, a turtleneck sweater and dress pants.
His family is close-knit and close by. His daughter, Kimberly, and her two kids see King several times a week. She said he wanted to make sure his grandchildren did well in school and keep the family tradition of attending KU
"I went to KU too," Kimberly said.
"It was the only school he allowed me to apply to. Thank goodness I got in because he would have been heartbroken."
Her eldest daughter, Danielle, 11, is tall like King and loves to play basketball in the driveway with her grandpa. She wants to go to Kansas and be just like him.
Danielle wrote a paper in school about the most important person in her life and chose King, or "Papa" as she calls him. At grandparents' night at the school, Jelena said, King was flattered but embarrassed to find out he was the subject of her paper.
If she ends up as a KU student, she will learn that her grandfather, Maurice King, won more than basketball games. Off the court, he was instrumental in winning civil rights for her and many others.

No se habla español; students need minor
OUR OPINION
The world becomes more interconnected every day. Businesses interact with overseas partners, scientists share research with colleagues halfway around the world and educators learn from the countless cultures of human civilization.
With such interaction becoming prevalent and necessary, students should do what they can to prepare for it. Unfortunately, one department in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences could be doing a little bit more.
The Department of Spanish and Portuguese at the University is one of the premier programs in Spanish and Portuguese in the nation. It was designated first in the nation in doctoral training, along with Brown University, by the National Research Council in 1995. The department is one of the largest at the University, employing more than 20 professors, dozens of graduate teaching assistants and lecturers, and more than 300 majors and 50 graduate students. It has nearly every resource necessary to an in-depth study of Spanish or Portuguese for the willing student.
But what about students who don't want to be versed in every aspect of the two languages but still want to be valuable to the global community? The department offers a major and graduate courses but no minor, unlike several other language departments at the University
What if a business student wants to to converse with business partners in the Spanish-speaking world or a social welfare student wants to know the languages when he or she goes to work for the Peace Corps or in a diverse community? Students in the arts and the sciences can also benefit from a minor in Spanish or Portuguese
Stance: Spanish and Portuguese are prevalent and students should be able to minor in them.
Issue: The lack of a Spanish or Portugese minor
Students can earn minors in German, Japanese, Hebrew and Russian, among others, but minors in Spanish and Portuguese would be especially valuable, given the languages' widespread use around the world. There is a minor in the department for those in the School of Education, but that is only one group of students who can benefit. Students could just take several classes and become fluent, but unless there is a form of certification to show employers, such education would be limited in its professional application
The department employs excellent faculty and staff and is nationally ranked for its role in education. It just needs to do more to aid students who can't dedicate their lives just to the intricacy of language and students who have other interests they wish to pursue as their future careers.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Evolution can be fact and theory at once
In last Friday's letter to the editor entitled "Scientists should evolve attitudes about criticism," David Lucas praises the Kansan's editorial staff for presenting evolution as a "theory" in a recent column regarding a signed petition calling for increased skepticism in the scientific community. The author's view, however, exposes a broader misunderstanding of the concept of evolution among the KU student body and the inadequacy of the biological curriculum taught at high schools today in the state of Kansas.
The author is correct in describing evolution as a theory, but it is also a fact. To some this may appear to be paradoxical.
Biological evolution can be simply defined as a change in the traits of living organisms over time, which can lead to the emergence of new species. Have we observed evolutionary change? Yes, both in nature and in the laboratory. The multitude of evidence includes examples such as plant and insect speciation stemming from hybridizations, the rise of antibiotic resistance in bacteria, color change in 19th century British moth populations in response to industrial pollution, speciation of house mice that are geographically isolated, fruit
flies evolving under artificial selection in laboratory settings, etc.
There are thousands of different forms of life that lived in the past but are not around today, such as our African ancestors. Fossil specimens, as well as comparative biology of contemporary species, demonstrate the interconnection of all organisms - revealing an evolutionary tree of life. There is evidence for the transition of bony fish to amphibians, amphibians to reptiles, reptiles to birds and mammals, etc.
Evolution is a fact.
With the advent of modern genetics and the understanding that DNA is the hereditary blueprint for the physical characteristics of all living organisms, evolution can be defined more specifically as a change in the frequency of gene variants in a population from one generation to the next. Genetic data has provided abundant evidence for evolutionary change within population gene pools. Molecular biology has also enabled scientists to reconstruct the evolutionary pathways and relationships of humans and other organisms from the genetic perspective.

Some hints: It comes from dark brown liquid that's been known to scald people's tongues. Its source is often an excuse to invite someone back to your place. You probably drank it this morning, you will drink it late tonight or, if you're like me, you've been drinking it all day and you have a cup of it next to you right now.
You got it! It's caffeine, found both in the environment, and in our bodies. Ninety percent of Americans ingest some form of it every day, and its most popular liquid source is coffee; more than half of Americans drink coffee every day.
To take a lethal dose of caffeine, you'd have to ingest about 10 grams – or 100 cups of coffee — but it's easier than you'd think to get close to this dose by taking caffeine pills. True caffeine poisoning can result in tremors, nausea, vomiting, confusion, delirium, seizures and high blood sugar.
So, can coffee be good for you? Definitely, if you ask the National Coffee Association. Coffee contains antioxidants, which are good for heart health and may have anti-cancer benefits. But it's not clear whether the benefits of coffee outweigh some of the negative side effects of drinking too much (like insomnia).
Caffeine may have environmental effects, too; aside from its presence in rivers, a group of Norwegian scientists found trace amounts of caffeine in the bodies of Arctic sea fish. Exactly how caffeine affects the environment isn't clear, but it's a definite footprint of human presence.
But being aware of coffee's effects on my body and the environment does spur me to think before I stumble toward my coffee pot in the morning, before I go for my mid-afternoon top-off or for one more cup late at night to keep studying.
Caffeine can affect all the body's systems: Nervous, cardiovascular, respiratory, etc. And, of course, it stimulates the nervous system. One or two cups will wake a person up, making him or her feel more alert and even better able to concentrate.
Here's some information on that molecule we all know well. In its pure form, caffeine is a white, crystalline powder that's incredibly bitter.
Given all this caffeine info,
have I, a coffee connoisseur,
put down my cup? Well ... no. I
think coffee is delicious; it's an
important part of culture on six
of the seven continents, includ-
ing my own, and it gives me
energy, at least for a short time.
On the other hand, some common negative effects are higher blood pressure, increased production of urine and stomach acid, anxiety, nervousness or grumpiness.
Caffeine works in the brain the same way that amphetamines, cocaine and heroin do although, obviously, caffeine is much milder. Caffeine works by mimicking a chemical in the brain called adenosine, which plays a part in sleepiness by slowing nerve cell

activity in the brain. Caffeine is similar enough to adenosine to plug into the adenosine receptors in cells, but it's not similar enough to have the same effect; it doesn't slow the cells down.
So it blocks the adenosine, and the brain doesn't register sleepiness. Instead, the cells speed up and more neurons fire in the brain.
These effects are short-lived; they're gone as soon as caffeine leaves the body. The bad news is that once the adrenaline wears off, you can face depression and fatigue. In other words, you crash. It's this crash that keeps people going back for more coffee, and leads to addiction.
So how much caffeine is in coffee, anyway? It depends on how it's brewed and from which type of beans, but regular old coffee potfellow coffee usually has between 80 and 118 milligrams of caffeine per five-ounce cup. The average daily coffee drinker walks around with six to 50 milligrams of caffeine in his or her bloodstream.
Not only can caffeine be addictive, but people can overdose on caffeine; taking more than 250 mg at once (either by chugging a lot of coffee, or taking a caffeine pill) can lead to restlessness, nervousness, insomnia, flushed face, upset stomach, muscle twitching, rambling flow of speech and thought in irregular heartbeats.

COMMENTARY
Organic foods worth the expense
RYAN SALAROU
DENIS SCHLAFEN
RYAN SCARROW opinion@kansan.com
One of the things that I have come to love about living in Lawrence is the incredible food that we have access to. Years ago, living in a small Kansas farm town, I thought organic food simply meant tofurkey and soy burgers. When I started browsing through the aisles at local grocery stores here, I realized that the organic movement has grown to be much more than that, and will continue to do so as our society realizes its benefits.
Simply put, it's the economy. As George Pyle, a long-time Kansas journalist and editor, makes the case in his new book "Raising Less Corn, More Hell," the long-term effects of modern, post-war industrial farming are a ticking time bomb for American agriculture. The methods, the business model, the slavish devotion to pesticides and aquifers that are hallmarks of such industrial farming are not sustainable and are potentially destabilizing for the domestic and global food markets.
I pay more now so that I can pay less later, and along the way help make American agriculture stronger in all respects. It certainly makes my whole wheat spaghetti with locally raised chicken and toasted organic sourdough taste that much better. And it tasted great already.
The amount of money that is distributed by the government to corporate farms seems like a large mountain to scale on the part of organic producers and it is. Which is why I purchase organic and natural foods when I go to the store. Yes they may cost more (which itself is a sign of the distortion in the markets, because without subsidies and pesticides, organic farming costs about the same as non-organic, and in the long-run is less costly), but that is all the more reason to buy them. Capitalism is based on incentives and demand, and the more demand created for the products and the process and benefits of organic farming (i.e. The sustainability of our resources and the health of our bodies), the more supply will come onto the market.
Scarrow is a Humboldt senior in history.
This system was not created in a vacuum, however, nor does it exist without an underlying structure. That structure takes the form of subsidies — massive subsidies from the government — a model that is duplicated across Europe in countries that can't bear to lose their local small farmers. Our subsidies typically don't go to the local small farmers, but to the large regional corporations that impose non-sustainable practices and poisons upon our farms.
General questions should be directed to the editor at editor@kansan.com.

Cancun, Mexico and South Padre Island, Texas beckon many college students to relax and party for spring break. Ten KU students will be heading southwest as well, but they are taking a road less traveled.
For the second year in a row, The Ecumenical Christian Ministries is sponsoring an alternative spring break called, "Human Rights on the Border," to El Paso, Texas, and Cuidad Juárez, Mexico. The participating students want to understand border issues, workers' rights and the effects of free trade in the biggest border community in the world, Juárez. They intend to link their experiences with activities in the Lawrence community.
"In our experience, alternative breaks get people out of the cocoon they live in to examine another culture," ECM Minister Thad Holcombe said. "In turn, your own culture becomes clearer."
Ashley Depenbusch, Hays senior, is this year's student coordinator. The evidence of "globalization of capitalism" motivated her to recruit another group to learn more about the region.
began on last year's trip, Depenbusch aims to transpose the personal testimony of those she meets, concentrating on the genocide in Juárez and general consumerism in the United States. She said one of her goals was to influence the way

people think about living their lives as consumers.
For four days in Juárez, the group will stay and work at two annunciation houses, which are volunteer programs that temporarily houses migrants, while helping them find work. It will also meet with union and labor organizers, members of the border patrol, immigration lawyers and Esther Chavez, a women's rights activist. In El Paso, they will visit an Immigration Court and stay in two more annunciation houses.
Depenbusch said that she was excited to talk with people who make a difference in the lives of Mexicans and Americans.
"The experience is more about meeting empowered groups who are active protagonists in the struggle for social justice, not passive recipients of charity or help," she said.
Before leaving, the group will meet with two professionals to better understand the issues it will study. Mark Horowitz, a former Kansas sociology professor, will share his expertise on wage and labor fairness. The group will also meet with Judith Ancel, who is an economics lecturer at University of Missouri-Kansas City, and director of the Institute for Labor Studies. She is also involved with the Cross-Border Network for Justice and Equality that is based in Kansas City. They will discuss labor issues and the North American Free Trade Agreement.
The ECM group will speak with the Kaw Valley Living Wage Alliance, church communities and the Lawrence Public Library to share their message with all Lawrence citizens, as well as the Lawrence Fair Trade group to show the ways fair trade negatively affects the community.
Depenbusch said she thought consumers were disconnected from the products
they bought because they didn't know how the product was made.
Holcombe said some businesses have taken advantage of keeping prices low at the cost of abusing workers, while strategically going to smaller towns to wipe out smaller businesses.
Depenbusch recommended that people have a sound knowledge base about companies and how they treat their workers. She said that people have to evaluate how they are going to live and how it affects their community.
"We want to promote an awareness about companies and organizations," she said. "Lawrence is a very open space in that way. People are willing to make changes."

He was rewarded by the Big 12 Conference coaches with the Big 12 Coach of the Year award Monday, but he deserves recognition from the national media as well. The national award will most likely go to the coach of a top five team in the polls, someone like Connecticut's Jim Calhoun, Memphis' John Calipari or Villanova's Jay Wright, but Self has done as well as any of them with freshmen and sophomores in the starting lineup.
---
The Kansas Jayhawks, despite starting the season 3-4 and dropping two of their first three Big 12 games, recovered to win a share of the conference title. Their NCAA tournament hopes looked bleak after back-to-back losses to Kansas State and Missouri, but now Kansas is a lock to make its 17th consecutive appearance in the Big Dance. The Jayhawks might even be as high as a No. 3 seed if they win the league tournament this weekend in Dallas.
Self's team has won 12 of its past 13 games, which included a 10-game winning streak. Only three teams in Division I have streaks longer than that right now, and they are all playing against mid-major conference schedules (Gonzaga, George Washington and Nevada). During the past 13 games, no other team has posted a better record than Kansas.
Self accomplished those feats while starting three freshmen and two sophomores. The league honored four out of those five players on Monday as well. Freshman Brandon Rush was the only rookie named first-team All-Big 12 and was the Freshman of the Year. Teammates Mario Chalmers and Julian Wright joined him on the conference's All-Freshman team. Chalmers and sophomore Russell Robinson were recognized as members of the All-Defensive team.
Looking at those facts, it is clear that no coach in the country has done a better job than Self. It may take a national championship, or at least a great performance in the national spotlight, for him to get the proper salute.
Unfortunately, the one game that most national media paid attention to was the Texas debacle. That loss was one of the worst performances by the Jayhawks this year, and killed the momentum that the Jayhawks and Self had built during the previous month. Kansas fans know that game was not representative of the body of work that their team had put together, and maybe the 'Hawks will get another chance to show that they are one of college basketball's elite.
The Jayhawks' chances of winning an NCAA title this year are slim. Assuming all of the young horses in Self's stable come back next season though, nobody will look past him for National Coach of the Year — especially when he's cutting down the nets in Atlanta at the Final Four.

Kansas (13-4) will look to extend its win streak to eight games in its last home game before embarking on yet another road trip.
The Jayhawks, ranked No. 25 in the Baseball America poll, play host to the Baker Wildcats (6-14) at 3 p.m. today. The last time the teams met, Kansas coach Ritch Price collected his 300th Division I victory, when the Jayhawks handily sat down the Wildcats, 16-6.

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
It was reminiscent of the game last Thursday night, when the three Kansas seniors came in with high hopes only to have them fall quickly. The Wildcats opened the game with a 12-0 run before the Jayhawks could put points on the board.
DALLAS — New state, same story.
After pulling close and briefly taking the lead, the Jayhawks could only watch as they were dominated on both sides of the ball, never bringing the game closer than nine points in the second half. Senior forward Crystal Kemp said the team lacked intensity down the stretch.
The women's basketball team lost 72-52 to Kansas State Tuesday night in the first round of the Big 12 tournament. It was the Jayhawks' 11th consecutive loss to the Wildcats.
"You can't teach anyone to have heart and go out there and play hard, and I don't think we did that tonight," she said.
Kansas State followed the game plan most teams have used against Kansas: set screens to create opportunities for
three-point shots against the conference's worst three-point shooting defense.
"They did a great job chasing me off screens," senior guard Erica Hallman said.
Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson went deep into her bench, giving significant minutes to Zinic, sophomore forward Jamie Boyd and junior guard Shaquina Mosley. The coach even went as far as benching Kemp at the first time-out and holding her out of the game for two minutes.
SEE SENIORS ON PAGE 8B
The team struggled to find offense beyond Kemp and Hallman. Freshman forward Marija Zinic was the third Jayhawk to hit double-digits; 12 of her 14 points came at the freethrow line.
Henrickson also was unable to get any production out of senior guard Kaylee Brown, who shot only 1-for-10 from the floor, with many of her shots coming offbalance.
"For a senior, it's tremendously disappointing for her to be that undisciplined," Henrickson said, adding that an ankle injury Brown sustained two weeks ago had healed.

DALLAS — The smile never left Shaale Lehning's face.
It didn't matter if she was being shoved to the floor by Kansas guard Erica Hallman or running over a cameraman on the floor after being fouled, the smile was always there.
It might have been because the freshman, who was playing her first postseason game of her career, exploded for a career-high 20 points.
Lehning came into the game connecting on just six of 32 three-point attempts on the season, but hit 3-of-5 three point shots against Kansas. She was a perfect 3-for-3 from three-point distance in the first half.
"I just wanted to come in and contribute in any way I could," Lehning said. "They were sort of sagging off of me on defense and once I hit my first shot, I got a lot of confidence. I didn't feel disrespected, that is just part of their defense, helping with the post players."
Lehning opened the game with a three-point shot when Hallman backed off of Lehning to help double team Kansas State freshman center JoAnn Hamlin in the post. Lehning's three was perfect, hitting nothing but net.
Coming into the game, Lehning was thought to be more of a pass-first point guard, and a guard who contributed rebounding for her team. Kansas State head coach Deb Patterson said Lehning's outburst against Kansas was just part of her maturation as a point guard.
Her next two three-point shots came at crucial moments for her team. Kansas had cut the lead down to five points at 15-10. Lehning again took advantage of a sagging Hallman to sink another three-point shot. She did it again with Kansas trailing by just two points. This time it came off of Kansas State freshman forward Marlies Gipson's penetration.
"She understands the game so well," Patterson said. "She knows when she needs to score and when she needs to do other things. I've said all along she's the best playmaking guard in the league."

"I was always told to never run from a situation," Robinson said. "I was faced with a situation similar to this with my AAU team and I made a decision to leave and it didn't work out."

Robinson glad he stayed at KU
DALLAS — Russell Robinson considered transferring from Kansas last season.
Robinson, a sophomore from New York City, saw significant playing time early during his freshman campaign, but midway through the year his playing time diminished. He longed for home, but knew he had to work through it.
Robinson learned from that decision and decided to stay at Kansas. He has proven himself as one of the best defenders in the conference, being named to the Big 12 All-Defensive team. Kansas coach Bill Self challenged Robinson to become a better defender last season and during the offseason.
For the Jayhawks, it's a good thing he didn't transfer.
The point guard has worked hard to develop his game. He has now started all but one game this season, and that was when senior guard Stephen Vinson started in his place on senior night.
Self heard the rumors last year that Robinson was considering transferring, but said Robinson's father, Russell Sr., would not let him leave.
"We told him that he isn't the best defender in the league yet," Self said. "We told him that if he's going to be the best, then he needs to become a lock-down guy that can take a guy out. He hasn't done it to a level that maybe we had hoped, but I do think that there isn't a better one-on-one defender in our league."
"His father would be totally disappointed in him if he ran from a situation that was created probably by him not doing everything that he could potentially do," Self said. "Russell wouldn't run from that."
After playing more than 10 minutes per game and averaging only 3.5 points per game last season. Robinson has been reborn this year.
"He wasn't going to let anybody beat him out this year," Self said. "There was no way that Russell Robinson was going to go through again what he did last year — he was too determined to do it."
Robinson has become the lock-down defender. Multiple times this season, Self has called him the heart and soul of this year's Kansas team.
"I'm just consistent, not real high, not real low." Robinson said. "Everybody's got a role and that's been my role this year. I just feel everyone contributes being the heart and soul."

KANSAN SPORT SWRIETER
DALLAS — After starting the season 3-4 and going 1-2 in the Maui Invitational the first week of the season, Bill Self knew his team needed to make major adjustments.
As the victories started piling up for the Kansas men's basketball team, a number of things changed along the way. Kansas started playing with more energy and had better defense.
"I thought our chemistry was fine, but I thought our morale was pitiful coming back from Maui," Self said. "I thought we wasted two weeks coming back. We were just an average team, at best. Our guys didn't have any energy or focus."
When Kansas returned from Maui it lost two of three games. The team lost by two points at home against Nevada, and then by three points in New York against St. Joseph's University.
Self said the team played without energy or desire in the game against Nevada. Freshman forward Julian Wright and freshman guard Mario Chalmers barely played. Wright logged only three minutes, and Chalmers played only 15 minutes. Chalmers came off the bench and scored four points.
Self said the freshmen weren't coming along like he hoped early in the season. The team leaned on two seniors to pull the freshmen out of their slump.
"The other thing that needs to be said about chemistry is that it's not the easiest thing being a senior starter and then have your role diminished and go to the bench." Self said. "I think Hawkins and Christian both gave us a chance to have great chemistry because they accepted a role that was different than what they started with."
Hawkins started the first 11 games before Self moved him to the bench in favor of Chalmers, who has started every game since.
Chalms played more minutes once he started turning the ball over less and playing more aggressive defense. In the three games in Maui, he turned the
ball over seven times against Arizona and shot 4-of-11 from three-point distance.
Chalmers was then moved from the point guard to shooting guard. This freed him up and allowed him to shoot more instead of having to handle the ball so much. Although his offensive numbers improved, Chalmers said the key to the Kansas turnaround was its defense.
"We weren't as good defensively then as we are now, and our experience hurt us." Chalmers said. "Our defense is really helping us stop the other team and making them shoot a low shooting percentage."
Kansas' defense really took off after the Nebraska game in late January. During a six-game stretch, Kansas held all of its opponents to under 40 percent shooting from the field. Kansas won all six games.
Both Chalmers and sophomore guard Russell Robinson were named to the Big 12 All-
Self did something else that helped lead the mid-season turnaround. He shortened practices.
Defensive Team for their play this season.

"We've had a lot of shorter practices because we go harder." Self said. "Last year or the year before it seemed that we had to go longer just to get it right. This year we can do what we need to do in shorter periods of time."
SOFTBALL KU returns home for first games at Arrocha
The Kansas softball team (9-10) will open up the home portion of its season at Arrocha Ballpark with a doubleheader against Missouri State (11-5) today at 2 p.m.

Morrison could mean a lot to getting that win. The sophomore could not be stopped against Western Illinois last weekend, hitting 6-13 and driving in six RBI. He moved up his batting average 20 percent over the weekend.
"He's got a lot of talent," Price said. "He's finally playing up to those abilities."
Still leading the team, senior outfielder Gus Milner posts a .407 average at the plate. The RBI leader failed to pick up an RBI on the weekend, despite hitting .400 for the series.
On the mound, freshman lefty Nick Czyz (0-1) is penciled in for today. In his last appearance, Czyz threw a perfect three-up, three-down inning of relief in game one Sunday.
The Wildcats went 3-1 on the weekend, sweeping William Woods University in a Saturday doubleheader, 7-3 and 9-0. They dropped the half of 6
their Sunday doubleheader to Park University 5-3, but turned the score around in game two to earn the split, 5-3.
Senior designated hitter Leon Davenport led the Wildcats offensive attack against William Woods on Saturday going 4-7, scoring three times and driving in four runs. Junior right-hander Logan Peck threw the complete game shutout in Saturday's night-cap. Peck stuck out five and walked none in the seven-inning game.

Kansas City beat Colorado 9-3

Howell, the 31st player selected in the 2004 draft is trying to earn a spot in the Royals' rotation. Kansas City has two openings in its rotation after projected starter Mark Redman had knee surgery Monday and Zack Greinke left camp Feb.26 for personal reasons and has not returned.
Last season, Howell went 3-5 with a 6.19 earned run average in 15 big league starts.
The Royals trailed 3-1 after seven innings, but scored eight runs in the eighth off Rockies relievers Mike Esposito and Judd Songster.
The inning included a three-run Esteban German homer and two-run shots by Chad Allen and Paul Phillips.

His numbers are not spectacular, averaging just 8.8 points per game, but it has been his intangibles that have made him such a gifted player. Robinson forces bad passes, which lead to easy steals for the other Kansas players.

The Kansas offense became more fluid when Self chose to move Robinson to the point guard spot in December.
But what Self is most impressed about Robinson are the things that he does when Self doesn't know it.
"Russell is the kind of guy that will go shoot on his own and doesn't care if a coach ever knows it," Self said. "Some guys, every time they step in the gym they want the coach to know it so that way they are building up brownie points.
"Russell could care less what the coaches know, he could care less what his teammates know, this is what I need to do, he has been the most rock stable, dependable guy that we have had in our program in just doing what he knows what has to get done."

Book to out Bonds' five-season steroid use
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Barry Bonds used a vast array of performance-enhancing drugs, including steroids and human growth hormone, for at least five seasons beginning in 1998, according to a book written by two San Francisco Chronicle reporters.
LI ZMA AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL
An excerpt from "Game of Shadows," which details the San Francisco slugger's extensive doping program, appears in the March 13 issue of Sports Illustrated.
"I won't even look at it. For what? There's no need to," Bonds said Tuesday at Giants camp in Scottsdale, Ariz. The Giants said Bonds would not comment any further.
Bonds, who testified before a California federal guard jury looking into steroid use by top athletes, repeatedly has denied using performance-enhancing drugs.
"I've read what was reported," Bonds' agent, Jeff Borris, told The Associated Press. "Barry is looking forward to playing this year and the improved health of his knee, and being as productive as he's ever been."
Phone messages left by the AP seeking comment from Bonds' attorney and publicist were not immediately returned Tuesday.
Baseball did not ban performance-enhancing drugs until after the 2002 season.
The seven-time NL MVP enters this season with 708 homers, seven shy of passing Babe Ruth and 48 from breaking Hank Aaron's career mark.
Authors Mark Fainaru-Wada and Lance Williams, who led the newspaper's coverage of the BALCO scandal, recount in remarkable detail the specifics of Bonds' drug regimen.
"Game of Shadows" is scheduled to be published March 27
According to the book, Bonds was using two undetectable designer steroids, informally known as the cream and the clear, plus insulin, human growth hormone and other performance enhancers by 2001, when he hit 73 home runs for the Giants to break Mark McGwire's single-season record of 70 set in 1998.
bv Gotham Books.
According to reports in The Chronicle, Bonds testified to the grand jury in late 2003 that he used a clear substance and a cream given to him by his personal trainer, Greg Anderson, who pleaded guilty in the BALCO case last July to steroid distribution and money laundering. Bonds said he didn't know that what he was using was a steroid,
BALCO, the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative run by Victor Conte, kept track of Bonds' drug use in detail, with folders and calendars that chronicled everything from schedules and quantities to his testosterone levels. Much of that information was obtained by federal agents when they raided the lab in September 2003.
Paul Sekuma/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
the newspaper reported.
In October, Anderson was sentenced to three months in prison and three months in home confinement. Conte was among three other men who also pleaded guilty to their role in supplying steroids to elite athletes.
According to the book, Bonds used several substances in various forms — by injecting himself with a syringe, taking injections from Anderson, gulping pills, putting liquid drops under his tongue or rubbing cream on his skin.
BALCO founder Victor Conte holds a photo of San Francisco Giants' Barry Bonds with the letters ZMA on his hat, a drug that Conte makes, in his office in Burlingame, Calif. According to "Game of Shadows," a book written by two San Francisco Chronicle reporters, Bonds used a vast array of performance-enhancing drugs, including steroids and human growth hormone, for at least five seasons beginning in 1998. The reporters, who based the book on a two-year investigation, included an extensive summary on their sources, including affidavits filed by BALCO investigators.
Baseball commissioner Bud
Bonds became so experienced and well-versed with the regimen that he occasionally overruled Anderson and took control of his own doping schedule, the book says.
Selig had not reviewed the material and had no comment, spokesman Rich Levin said. Selig was en route from Milwaukee to Phoenix for the World Baseball Classic.
Bonds, who will turn 42 in July, played in only 14 games last season, following three knee operations. He showed signs of his old self in his brief return, hitting five homers in 42 at-bats.
He caused a stir before spring training this year with contradicting interviews in February. Bonds told USA Today that his knee bothered him so much he would probably retire after the season, with or without the home run record. Then he told MLB.com that his knee brace felt good enough for him to possibly play 10 more seasons.

The team cut its longest-tenured player Sunday night. The sides weren't talking Monday, but the Rams remained optimistic in an agreement that would bring Bruce back for a 13th season.
"This CBA deal has kind of put things a little bit out of whack," Linehan said. "I feel very positive about resuming talks and getting that uniform back on our guy.
The 35-year-old Bruce had a salary cap figure of $10 million for next season. He was due a $1.5 million roster bonus Monday, the first day of the free agency period, as part of an $8.1 million salary. But the opening of free agency has been delayed for three more days.
Coach Scott Linehan termed the release a "temporary setback." He blamed the lack of a collective bargaining agreement for the move.
"We'll do whatever we can to make that happen."
The Rams reportedly offered a three-year deal worth about $9 million, including a $5 million contract in the first season.
Bruce was entering the final year of a seven-year. $42 million contract he signed in 2000.
Isaac has been an integral and valuable member of our organization for a long time, both on and off the field," said Jay Zygmunt, the team's president of football operations. "This has been a difficult process."
"However, we remain optimistic that a contract extension can be completed in the near future."
Bruce has been with the team since 1994, the year before it moved to the Midwest from Los Angeles, and has been to four Pro Bowls. He considered holding a news conference but decided against it.
Bruce is the Rams' career leader in receptions (813), yards receiving (12,278) and touchdowns receiving (77). He also caught the game-winning touchdown pass in the Rams' lone Super Bowl victory after the 1999 season.
His yards receiving rank 12th in NFL history.
Last season, Bruce missed five games with turf toe and had 36 receptions for 525 yards. In 2004, his last full season, he had 89 catches for 1,292 yards with six touchdowns.
Over his career, he's been durable. Bruce has played every game in seven seasons and late last season he felt pretty much like the player the Rams drafted in the second round in 1994.
The Rams have only two wide receivers under contract, Torry Holt and Dane Looker. Kevin Curtis and Shaun McDonald are restricted free agents.
Linehan said it was much to soon to worry about life without Bruce.
"Obviously, we've got to have a contingency plan, but I'm going to look at it from the standpoint that we're going to get it done," Linehan said. "We'll address that if we have to.
Heads up!
"We're talking about a guy that, to me, you don't replace."

UNC freshman earns rookie of the year award
BY KEITH PARSONS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. As expected, Tyler Hansbrough turned the competition for the Atlantic Coast Conference's Rookie of the Year into a one-man race.
unanimous first-team all-conference honors.
The North Carolina center received all 108 votes for the award announced Tuesday, a day after he became the first freshman in ACC history to earn
"That part is mind-boggling beyond your wildest dreams," Tar Heels coach Roy Williams said. "I thought Tyler would be a major force for us. In my mind, he would be a starter from day one, and he would be extremely important from day one."
It worked out exactly that way, as Hansbrough probably will become the first freshman in school history to lead his
team in scoring and rebounding.
He ranks second in the league in scoring (19 points a game) behind only Duke's J.J. Redick, and he is seventh in rebounding (7.6 rebounds a game).
"I didn't have any individual goals, but I would say it's a good accomplishment," Hansbrough said. "I thought there were some things that I struggled with at the beginning. I tried to improve on those. With this team, I got a lot of experience early, and I
think I adjusted well."
Along the way, the native of Poplar Bluff, Mo., set a Dean Smith Center scoring record with 40 points in a victory against Georgia Tech, which also broke the ACC's single-game mark for a freshman. Hansbrough capped the regular season with 27 points and 10 rebounds in North Carolina's upset at Duke. That performance helped him win his 10th rookie of the week honor.

Tonight: Happy at home.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ******

CANCER (June 21-July 22) *****
Your personality helps others see a situation or issue in a different light. Your innate creativity also makes a big difference in the outcome of events. Be willing to seek out answers and not get stuck. Your resourcefulness makes a difference.
Tonight. Try for something different
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) ****Rain between the lines, and you'll gain a brand-new perspective. Sometimes you don't realize what a remarkable difference you can make. Loosen up when dealing with a partner. You cannot always be right, though it might be nice.
Tonight: Say yes.

NFL owners to vote on proposal
BY DAVE GOLDBERG THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
GRAPEVINE, Texas — The extension of the NFL's labor agreement is now up to the owners. That's exactly what the players have been expecting all along.
The owners began meeting Tuesday at the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport to vote whether to accept the latest proposal given to them by the NFL Players Association.
But to make it financially acceptable, they will have to agree first among themselves on expanded revenue sharing, just what Gene Upshaw, the union's executive director, has been saying in more than a mere worth of it.
spread the wealth."
year's worth of talks.
There was an early note of optimism as the executive committee of the NFLs Management Council — the owners' committee that deals with labor issues — began bargaining. It came from an unlikely source: Dallas owner Jerry Jones, who has been strongly opposed to additional revenue sharing.
My gut is we're going to come up with something,but it's still up in the air.It's going to be long and drawn out and tough."
Still, this is the first time it has come up during these negotiations.
Jerry Jones Dallas Cowboys owner
"We want to play football," Jones said as he entered the meeting. "We have an obligation
"I think it's playing out exactly like we thought it would," said Kevin Mawae, the New York Jets' union representative until he was cut Sunday by the Jets. "We said as a union that in order for free agency to go off without a hitch, the owners would have to figure out how to divide up the revenue. It's not necessarily the percentage that we're asking but how they
to everyone, particularly our fans.
"My gut is we're going to come up with something, but it's still up in the air. It's going to be long and drawn out and tough."
The contract
The contract doesn't run out for another two years, though this will be the last one with a salary cap. Without an agreement, there will be no cap next year. But there also will be no minimum figure for expenditures, which could lead to the kind of imbalance with high-revenue and low-revenue teams as in such sports as baseball and European soccer.
Low-revenue teams such as Cincinnati and Indianapolis say high-revenue teams — Dallas and Philadelphia, for instance — should contribute proportionately to the player pool.

Players, fans mourn Twins star
Nation pained by death of Kirby Puckett
Minnesota Twins outfielder Torii Hunter, center, along with coaches and teammates observe a moment of silence in honor of Kirby Puckett before an exhibition game against the New York Yankees Tuesday at Legends Field in Tampa, Fla. Puckett, who played his entire career with the Twins, was part of the team that won two World Series and was inducted into baseball's Hall of Fame, died Monday.
Robert F. Rukutv/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BY DAVE CAMPBELI THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MINNEAPOLIS — In the middle of a steadily growing memorial to Kirby Puckett, outside the Metrodome and right alongside a street named for the beloved Hall of Famer, one cardboard sign stood out.
"There IS crying in baseball," the message was written, in red ink, bannered over a couple of old Puckett baseball cards taped to the corners.
All around the game, people who were close to the roly-poly outfielder who led the Minnesota Twins to two World Series titles — and even those who only watched him on TV — were saddened Tuesday by Puckett's death.
"This morning, when I got up and took a shower and watched the news, tears started coming out," said Chicago White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen, one of many contemporaries who spoke about the man whose energy, enthusiasm and exceptional skills captivated baseball fans throughout a 12-year career cut short by glaucoma in 1996.
Puckett died at 45 in a Phoenix hospital Monday afternoon, a day after having a stroke in his home.
"This is a great loss for baseball," said former Baltimore Orioles great Cal Ripken, who with Puckett was one of the
few stars of their generation who never switched teams. "Puck was one of my favorite people to compete against on the field and to be around off the field. I will always remember how Kirby played the game with joy and how he brought a smile to your face just by saying hello."
A memorial service was in the works. Funeral arrangements had not been finalized Tuesday afternoon.
"We'll take our time and go there, pay our respects and then come on back down to
spring training," Twins general manager Terry Ryan said before Minnesota played the New York Yankees in Tampa, Fla.
March is for games that don't matter, mere tuneups for the regular season, but Puckett's teammates and opponents always remarked how he never loafed — even in meaningless exhibitions.
"He was a tremendous ambassador for the team. I think Dave Winfield said the right thing: He was the only player in the history of baseball everybody loved," said Guillen, who
used to kiddingly call his son,
Oney, "Little Puck" because he was a bit chubby.
Perhaps the most poignant marker of Puckett's impact on people was outside the Metrodome, thousands of miles from those sunny spring training sites, where dozens of fans shuffled around during the noon hour on a dreary, chilly day.
There were bouquets. There were orange Wheaties boxes, commemorating the Twins' championships. There were bobblehead dolls. And plenty of personalized messages.

Seniors
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 18
The Jayhawks were leaning on their seniors, but Kansas State went the opposite direction.
The Wildcats' offensive attack was led mostly by freshmen: guard Shalee Lehming led the team with 20 points and center JoAnn Hamlin had 12 points.
"Trying to at least go off on a better note than these last two games is really one of those things I'm looking forward to," she said.
Women's basketball notes:
The Jayhawks will turn their focus to a potential bid into the WNIT. The team has a strong case with a 16-12 record and will likely be chosen Monday night to participate in the tournament.
The other five are Kansas, Colorado, Minnesota, Iowa and Missouri.
For Kemp, it will be about trying to reclaim a sense of the team's identity in her final games as a Jayhawk.
- Edited by Janiece Gatson
This was the first time these two teams have met in the state of Texas, making it the sixth state in which the rivalry has been played.
Crystal Kemp scored her 1,800th point as a Jayhawk and grabbed her 800th rebound in Tuesday's game.
No attendance was announced for the game, but Reunion Arena sat mostly empty except for a small pocket of Jayhawk fans and a slightly larger contingent of Wildcat fans, including WNBA player and former Wildcat Laurie Koehn.
Move along, little doggies
The Wildcats will play again tonight at 6 p.m. against defending national champion Baylor.

NCAA BASKETBALL
An Aggie miracle
BY STEVE BRISENDINE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
It's not quite worst to first.
But in the two years since Billy Gillispie took over Texas A&M, the Aggies have gone from 10-16 in the Big 12 to the threshold of their first NCAA tournament appearance since a first-round loss to Duke in 1987.
Add in his previous two-year stint at Texas-El Paso, where his first team won six games and his second won 24 and reached the NCAA tournament, and Gillisip is starting to gain a reputation as a miracle worker.
"I've never thought of that
"I've never thought of that — 'Is he a quick turnaround guy?' But he certainly has become that," Kansas coach Bill Self said Monday, during the Big 12 coaches' weekly conference call. "I knew he would be very successful wherever he went, but I didn't know he would take UTEP from six to 24 or A&M from zero to eight in league wins — and do it overnight, which is what he has done."
Gillispie's first Aggies team went 8-8 in the Big 12. This year's team finished the regular season 10-6 in conference play.
good for a fourth-place finish, and takes a 20-7 overall record to the Big 12 tournament.
The Aggies, who have never won a Big 12 tournament game, have a first-round bye on Thursday. That hardly seemed likely when they started conference play 3-6 before closing out the regular season with a seven-game winning streak that included a 46-43 victory over No. 8 Texas last week.
"I think the key was us hanging in there when we were 3-6," Gillispie said. "We said, 'Let's just hang in there from start to finish, play each game and see where we are."
Kansas State coach Jim Wooldridge also gave Gillispie credit for leading the Aggies' resurgence, but he quickly cut off a questioner asking him to compare Texas A&M's quick turnaround with his own struggles in six seasons with the Wildcats.
"Billy Clyde Gillispie is an outstanding basketball coach," Wooldridge said. "What he has done is really incredible. He's a guy that people in our business have seen as an up-and-coming guy ... and they played awfully well down the stretch."
Wildcats
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
This is not the first good game Lehning has had against Kansas. Last week in Kansas State's 62-44 victory against Kansas, Lehning had nine points, seven rebounds and six assists. In the first game against Kansas on Jan. 25, she had 10 points and five assists.
Lehning wasn't the only freshman to contribute for Kansas State. Hamlin also responded well to her first post-season game, going a perfect 6-for-6 from the field, scoring 12 points and grabbing seven rebounds. She also had the assignment of guarding Kansas
senior forward and leading scorer Crystal Kemp. She held Kemp to 5-for-12 shooting and kept Kemp off-balance all game.
"For JoAnn to go in and stay really active with Crystal to bang and to deny her some touches I think was huge emotionally for her team." Patterson said. "She ran the floor so extremely well. JoAnn was that player in the post that everybody was looking to, to kind of play off of and play around when you needed to and she was there for us."
Kansas State will play in the second round of the Big 12 Tournament today at 6 p.m. against Baylor.

▼ AWARENESS
Display honors victims, raises awareness
BY KRISTEN JARBOE
kjarbose@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Twenty-one white cardboard cut-outs pinned on a clothesline Wednesday in front of Stauffer Flint Hall represented dead bodies. The cut-outs stood for the reported deaths of transgender individuals killed worldwide because of anti-transgender violence in 2005.
Each cut-out had the name of the person, date the person died, how the person died, location and additional details of the death if known. The cut-outs were provided by the University of Kansas Queers and Allies organization.
"We wanted to raise awareness about the transgender community in such a silent community," Reid, Lawrence junior, said.
Shannon Reid, director and activism chair of Queers and Allies, came up with the idea.
about a subject that people didn't often hear about. She said people often heard of soldiers dying in the war or women dying because of abuse, but that transgender death is not typically heard of.
Krystol Griffin, student senator for Queers and Allies, said they wanted to raise awareness
"There is not a lot of transgender awareness out there," Griffin, Kansas City, Mo. sophomore said. "We're trying to give an equal amount of awareness."
Reid came up with the idea when she came across the Web site rememberingourdead.org that named each transgender person who died. The Web site shows the names of many transgender people who were victims of violence throughout the years, however, Griffin said Queers and Allies chose to display the names of those individuals killed last year worldwide.
"I saw the Web site and was completely moved by it," she said.
Reid wanted to convey the transgender prejudices in some way to the University. She got
the idea from a "Womyn' take Back the Night" event where participants tie-dyed or wrote on T-shirts to convey messages about violence toward women and children, and then hung the shirts on a clothesline. She said it was a powerful visual aid, and she wanted to do something similar.
"I wanted to use the clothesline idea, and I kept thinking about police chalk lines, so that's where the cut-outs came from," Reid said.
Dustin Nye, Wichita freshman,
was surprised at what he saw.
The display attracted a lot of attention from passing students who had varied reactions.
"I had no idea this stuff was going on." he said.
Sarah Fettke, Wichita freshman, said it wasn't surprising for her because she often heard about similar situations.
"It's kind of sad that it doesn't surprise that violence like this occurs," she said.

Shannon Reid, Lawrence junior, hangs cardboard cut-outs of bodies outside Stauffer-Flint Hall Wednesday. Queers and Allies hosted the display as a "Transgender Awareness Project" to call attention to prejudice experienced by the transgender community. Each cut-out represented a transgendered person who was killed last year as a result of violence against transgendered people.

Proposal suggests set tuition

which will be presented to the Board of Regents in May. Eakin said the Regents wouldn't make any decisions on the proposal yet, but the University wanted to give them an idea of the direction it was headed.
Eakin said the proposal would create challenges for the University. The University can't predict the budget for the next four years, and Eakin said that if the state cut the University's budget, the plan would restrict the University from increasing tuition to make up for the cut.

To Whom It May Concern:
To Whom It May Concern:
Susan had the flu last fall and hoped her professors would grant her an extension.
Most did, but one in particular, did not.
Susan's sociology professor refused to grant her an extension on her paper because she didn't have a doctor's note to prove her illness. Until last spring, students who missed class for any length of time could get a doctor's note from Watkins Memorial Health Center. The current injury and illness policy denies students who miss class for less than three days immediate documentation of their illness.
Patricia Denning, chief of staff at Watkins, said the University of Kansas was the only school in the Big 12 that offered any sort of doctor's notes for absences.
"We're trying to train students the way things work in the working world," she said.
Jill Kuhnheim, chair of the department of Spanish and Portuguese, said her syllabi allowed students a limited number of absences, regardless of their reason. For short illnesses, she said, doctor's notes were impractical because most students would not see the doctor in the brief time they missed class.
Denning said Watkins had seen a decrease in appointments for short-term illnesses since the policy changed.

Students can access illness documentation
Medical staff will provide, upon request, documentation of three or more consecutive days of absence due to extended illness or injury that is documented via services provided by Student Health Services or other health care provider. Documentation of shorter illnesses will not be provided by the medical staff.
Students can access copies of their medical record, including documentation of visits, by submitting a form to the records and registration department. This request can take up to ten days to complete.

City asks manager to resign
BY KRISTEN JARBOE
kjarboe@kansai.com
KANSAN STAT WRITER
City Manager Mike Wilden resigned Wednesday as requested by the Lawrence City Commission. His resignation will go into effect Friday at 5 p.m., but he will be available as a consultant during the transition period.
Mayor Dennis "Boog" Highberger said the city commission made a change to the city manager leadership position to respond to the challenges facing the Lawrence community.
"We want to emphasize that we greatly appreciate his years that he has given to the community," he said.
Wildgen was appointed to the position in 1990 and is the fifth city manager in Lawrence history.
"I would like to thank the city commissions that have served during my tenure for their support," he said in a statement released Wednesday. "I am a strong supporter of the city-manager form of government. One of the basic tenets of the form of government is the responsibility of the city commission to select and retain the city manager."
City Commissioner David Schauner said he could not comment on specifics of the matter other than Highberger's comment because it was a personnel matter. He said they wanted to focus on the future.
Schauner said Wilden did a good job as city manager.
"He was a very loyal and dedicated employee who put the city first," he said. "We're facing some upcoming challenges and are looking towards new leadership for someone to tackle those challenges."

State cookie awaits legislative approval
HARTFORD, Conn. — Some sixth-graders got a sweet civics lesson when they testified in favor of a bill to designate an official state cookie.
If the oatmeal chocolate drop cookie with a dash of nutmeg gets final legislative approval, it will take its place next to the state animal (the sperm whale), the state mineral (the garnet) and the state tate (a blue, gray green, red and yellow plaid).
Also up for consideration this year are bills to designate a state fruit (the apple), a state polka (the ballroom polka), a state aviation pioneer (Igor

The oatmeal chocolate drop cookie was the brain child of sixth-graders studying civics at St. Mary's School in Simsbury, who came up with three different variations and then asked their classmates to vote.
They also handed out samples of their cookies, which Rep. Andrew Fleischmann, D-West Hartford, declared "awesome."

Would-be robber tells tellers "just kidding"
WILLISTON, N.D. — A man wearing a ski mask walked into a bank and demanded money, then told tellers, "just kidding," authorities said.
Ryan Wright, 20, surrendered to police Monday night, said Sgt. Mark Hanson, a Williston police detective. Wright was formally charged Tuesday.
Judge David Nelson set his bail at $1,000 and ordered Wright to stay away from alcohol and bars. A preliminary hearing was set for March 21, court officials said.
"He never showed a weapon, but the tellers got quite scared and concerned and thought the worst," Hanson said.
No customers were in the bank at the time of the Feb. 17 incident, he said. Wright then went about his banking business, taking some money from his checking account and then leaving. If convicted, Wright faces up to five years in jail and a $5,000 fine.
"You don't walk into a bank with a ski mask and say 'Give me all your money.'" Hanson said. "It's just like going on an airplane and saying you have a bomb."

Ex-nuclear scientist says Hussein wanted mass destruction
Dictator 'lived in fantasy world'
By CATHERINE ODSON
codson@kansan.com
KANSA STAT WRITER
Tuesday's The University Daily Kansas incorrectly printed the second half of this story, printing a portion of another story where this story was supposed to continue from the front. The story is reprinted here in its entirety.
Iraq had the potential to create hundreds of bombs, but concentrated on a single weapon of mass destruction the country never completed, a former Iraqi scientist said.
Mahdi Obeidi, the former chief scientist of Iraq's nuclear weapons program, spoke to 500 people in Budig Hall Tuesday night about his experience with the Iraqi effort to create nuclear weapons.
Saddam Hussein suspended his initial desire for hundreds of bombs to create a single, more dangerous bomb in the early 1980s, Obidi said, because of the societal implications of widespread destruction.
Hussein "lived in a fantasy world," desiring unrealistic weapons, Obeidi said. Any threat is a matter of perception, he said, and Iraq's former neurotic dictator's agenda was fueled by fear.
"How can we fight one bomb?" he said. "It is one bomb that could change the world order as we know it."
Hussein wrestled scientists into his project by manipulating their fear, Obeidi said, while simultaneously convincing himself that he was armed and dangerous. Scientists worked in the program out of national pride, eager to see their country prosper, he said.
"Violence is an answer to fear," he said. "Saddam was afraid. He feared his neighbors, and his neighbors feared him."
Obeidi said all of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction were disassembled in the early 1990s, and the evidence of them was hidden.
Hussein evicted United Nations weapons inspectors in 1998, when only the plans for weapons remained.
However, Iraq built a nuclear threat from nothing in a short amount of time, Obeidi said, and the scientists who worked with the program still have the expertise to carry out their work. These people possess the knowledge to revive nuclear research in or out of Iraq, he said.
Obeidi's lecture, sponsored by Student Union Activities and Student Senate, was the only speech in this year's Student Lecture Series. He was invited to help students understand the current conflict in Iraq and whether the actions of the United States government were justified, something Jenny Kratz, SUA social issues chair, said he had accomplished during his speech.
"He did a great job of lying out the facts and using facts to justify the way he sees the world today," she said.
Katie Smith, Tuscon, Ariz. senior, said Obeidi's move from the center of the conflict to peace created an interesting view of the situation. His lecture provided a glimpse into a perspective not readily presented in the United States, she said.

Women take over the world
BY DEJUAN ATWAY
datway@kansan.com
KANSAN STATE WRITER
Women will hold all the power and control every government institution. Men will be forced to serve a subservient role when the curtain rises at the William Inge Memorial Theatre tonight.
The play "A Congress of Women" begins at 7:30 p.m. at Inge Theatre in Murphy Hall. It is scheduled to run through March 19.
The play, written and directed by associate professor of theatre and film Dennis Christilles, is an adaptation of the ancient Greek comedy "Ecclesiazusae" by Aristophanes.
The play depicts the lives of a revolutionary group of women who have decided to take over the government because the men in their society have displayed no signs of reliable leadership.
The play discusses how people are often enamored with images rather than ideas, Christilles said. The message of the play is that people are much more likely to buy into what you have to say if you have a catchy slogan than if you have something important and significant to say.
"The women sell change as if it was a product, but there is not a lot of content to what they have to say," Christilles said. "Even though governments may change or switch parties, without substantial planning and thought behind it, it will be the same old mess over and over again."
Christilles said he left many of the basic scenes in Aristophanes' play untouched, but updated some of the holes in the plot and modernized many of the jokes.
As with many Greek plays, the chorus plays a major role in the production. Aubree Bowen, Augusta Junior, plays Artemisia,
"I'm so excited to get an audience," she said. "We have been rehearsing a long time now; we actually started a little bit last semester. Opening night will be wonderful."
Relaxing and sitting in the actors' green room Tuesday night, echoes of anticipation grew between the actors. Dale Buchheister, Manhattan senior, who plays Aristophanes, said that rehearsing night after night in front of the cast and crew had become a monotonous task. They have all heard the same jokes and dialogue for a few months now, but the excitement and mood will change once an audience is in the stands.

Arrests made in church fires
Blazes set as a "joke" by three college students
BY JAY REEVES THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Three college students, including two aspiring actors known around campus as pranksters, were arrested Wednesday in a string of nine church fires that spread fear across Alabama last month.
Federal agents said the defendants claimed that the first few blazes were set as "a joke" and that the others were started to throw investigators off the track.
Gov. Bob Riley said the fires did not appear to be "any type of conspiracy against organized religion" or the Baptist faith,
Benjamin Nathan Moseley and Russell Lee Debusk Jr. both 19-year-old students at Birmingham-Southern College, appeared in federal court and were ordered held on church arson charges pending a hearing Friday. Matthew Lee Cloyd, 20-year-old junior at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, was also arrested.
The fires broke out at five Baptist churches in Bibb County south of Birmingham on Feb. 3 and four Baptist churches in west Alabama on Feb. 7. The federal Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agency had made the investigation its top priority, with scores of federal agents joining state and local officers.
"While all three are entitled to have their day in court, we are very hopeful that this is the end to the fear that has been rampant in West Alabama," said
Rep. Artur Davis, D-Ala
Five churches were destroyed and four damaged. In many cases, the fire was set in the sanctuary near the altar. No one was injured.
Acquaintances said DeBusk and Moseley were both amateur actors who were known as pranksters and dreamed of becoming stars. They performed in campus plays and appeared in a documentary film.
Moseley confessed to the arsons after his arrest, investigators said in court papers.
The papers said Moseley told agents that he, Cloyd and Debusk went to Bibb County in Cloyd's sport utility vehicle on Feb. 2 and set fire to five churches. A witness quoted Cloyd as saying Moseley did it "as a joke and it got out of hand."
Moseley also told agents the four fires in west Alabama were set "as a diversion to throw investigators off," an attempt that "obviously did not work," the court papers said.
Agents said previously that there appeared to be no racial pattern in the fires; some were white congregations, some were black ones. The three students are white and all either attend or previously were enrolled at Birmingham-Southern, a Methodist-affiliated liberal arts college.
Jim Parker, pastor of Ashby Baptist Church at Brierfield, a Blibb County church destroyed in the spree, said the congregation had been worried that the arsonists had some "political or religious agenda." He said he had spoken to federal agents and understood the defendants were promising students from good families.
"We really are concerned about them as people," he said. "I would just like to know what they were thinking."

Eakin said individual schools' differential tuition would continue to increase each year.
He said that even then, if a school voted to increase its differential tuition rate by more than the original amount, the University would allow it to happen.
He also said that the University would publish a table to show the constant rate of increase so that incoming students could still be able to calculate their costs for all of their four years at the University.
He said it was a complex subject that could not be handled the same way as regular tuition because of the large number of schools with differential tuition.

White House dismisses Iranian threats
BY GEORGE JAHN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
POLITICS
VIENNA, Austria — Iran threatened the United States with "harm and pain" Wednesday if the U.S. tries to use the U.N. Security Council to punish Tehran for its suspect nuclear program.
Washington warned that Tehran has enough nuclear material for up to 10 atomic bombs.
The rhetoric reflected the intensity of the debate at a meeting of the International Atomic Energy's 35-nation board over a critical report on Iran's nuclear program. The meeting ended late Wednesday, formally opening the path to Security Council action that could range from a mild statement urging compliance to sanctions or military measures.
The meeting also set the stage for a potential struggle between Washington, which seeks harsh measures against Tehran, and Moscow, which advocates a softer line.
But the head of the IEAE
— the U.N. nuclear watchdog
the US' nuclear watchdog cast approaching Security Council involvement as a continuation of diplomacy with Iran.
Mohamed ElBaradei also suggested that Washington might need to talk to Tehran directly if negotiations reach the stage of focusing on security guarantees to Tehran in exchange for concessions on its nuclear pro

Iran's ambassador to the IAEA, Ali Asghar Soltanieh, left, listens to Javad Vaeidi from the Iranian delegation during a press briefing after the afternoon session of the International Atomic Energy Agency's 35-nation board meeting on Wednesday at Vienna's International Center.
Iran claims its nuclear program is peaceful and only aimed at generating electricity, but an increasing number of countries have come to share the U.S. view that Tehran is seeking to develop atomic weapons.
The IAEA put the Security Council on alert over the issue last month but delayed any action to give more time for diplomacy under an agreement by the United States, Russia, China, France and Britain — the five permanent Security Council members that wield veto power
But formal Security Council involvement opens a new dimension because the U.N. body could impose economic and political sanctions against Iran. Such action is unlikely because
of opposition from Russia and China, which have strategic and commercial ties with Tehran.
"The United States has the power to cause harm and pain," Ali Asghar Soltanieh, the chief
Iranian delegate to the IAEA, said, reading from a statement. "So if that is the path that the U.S. wishes to choose, let the ball roll."

Google agrees to settle 'click fraud' suit
BY MICHAEL LIEDTKE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — Google Inc. has agreed to pay up to $90 million to settle a lawsuit alleging the online search engine leader overcharged thousands of advertisers who paid for bogus sales referrals generated through a ruse known as "click fraud."
The proposed settlement,
announced by the company Wednesday, would apply to all advertisers in Google's network during the past four years. Any Web site showing improper charges dating back to 2002 will be eligible for an account credit that could be used toward future ads distributed by Google.
part of that amount will be used to cover the fees of lawyers who filed the case last year in Arkansas state court. The proposed settlement still requires final court approval.
The total value of the credits available to advertisers will be lower than $90 million because
The lawsuit, filed by Lane's Gifts and Collectibles on behalf of all Google advertisers, revolves around one of the most sensitive subjects facing Google and Yahoo Inc., which runs the Internet's second largest marketing network.
Yahoo said Wednesday that it intends to fight the lawsuit's allegations.
Mountain View, Calif-based Google makes virtually all of its money from text-based advertising links that trigger commissions each time they are clicked on. Besides enriching Google, the system has been a boon for advertisers, whose sales have
been boosted by an increased traffic from prospective buwers
But sometimes scam artists repeatedly click on specific advertising links even though they have no intentions of buying anything. The motives for the malicious activity known as click fraud vary widely, but the net effect is the same: advertisers end up paying for fruitless Web traffic.

Online social network needs better safeguards
It was welcome news when MySpace.com announced it would beef up its security and screening methods last week. The online social community's announcement came after several adults were arrested for using the site to arrange sexual liaisons with minors. Better security and monitoring of the Web site is definitely a step in the right direction and the site's management should be applauded.
Unfortunately, another online social community may be taking a step in the opposite direction when it comes to the safety of its younger members. Facebook.com should do more to ensure proper use of its social Web site and educate its members about the dangers of online social interaction.
Just weeks ago, Facebook allowed its college-age users to add high school-age users and vice versa. Now anyone at a university — faculty, staff or student — can have access to the information about students as young as 13. Alumni who graduated before the Facebook phenomenon hit could pay for an Alumni Association membership, thus receiving a University e-mail with which to register on the Web site.
Issue: Online social Web site standards
Facebook's management should be taking a cue from their counterparts at MySpace, and be careful how they let members use their site. While most members might have no ulterior motives when it comes to online interaction, there is still that small percentage that may misuse the online community, and that's a risk that needs to be avoided. Fake profiles for various celebrities and other characters exist. Someone could just as easily create a realistic profile of a young man or woman to lower the defenses of those upon whom they prey.
Stance: Facebook should take precautions like MySpace to avoid abuse of its accounts.
Officials at MySpace have said that there is no completely reliable way to verify the age of users and they're right. Barring the implementation of a national identification system, the only effective way to know someone's age is to meet them in person, and even that can be misleading. But MySpace plans to inform its users about abusers of its services through an educational campaign that hopes to limit any future problems.
Facebook is an excellent resource and can add to a student's social life, but just as anything else, it can lead to problems if abused and not monitored. The Web site needs to take a cue from its counterpart and do what it can to prevent future problems.

From my experience at several universities and with several advising systems, I know that to make the most out of any advising system, the student must take primary responsibility. This is what you need to do: Read the requirements, study your ARTS form, meet with advisors and ask questions.
Each student's ARTS form displays a chart indicating which requirements (general education and major) the student still needs to fulfill.

Though I share your high regard for the Spanish language and its ever-increasing global impact, I cannot agree with the necessity of a Spanish minor. Spanish, like any other language, requires constant immersion, application and dedication, though lower classes are intensive and provide the foundation, the upper courses provide a constant source of application.
Without opportunities for application, allowing a minor would only increase the number of unprepared bilingual graduates. One element many overlook is the importance of understanding

Political/ideological bias is a problem at The University of Kansas. But, this action on part of the legislature would be a lot more meaningful if it actually meant something. In reality, this is the archetypal non-issue if there ever was one. In the end, the resolution will probably be adopted. And, some professors and students will probably be pretty upset. And, then, the politicians will issue a few press releases. And, after that, everyone will forget the whole issue. The resolution is, after all, a resolution. It has no consequences, no impact and no affect on Kansas: it—like most things politicians say—really is the epitome of blow-hardism.
In light of a recent resolution brought to the House Appropriations Committee by Rep. Becky Hutchins (R-Holton), it is interesting that Courtney Farr would choose to call Republicans ignorant.
COMMENTARY
Soukup is a Lakin sophomore in linguistics
HCR #5035 is "a concurrent resolution expressing the sense of the Kansas House of Representatives and Senate that colleges and universities should [...] secure the intellectual independence of faculty members and students, protect the principles of academic freedom, promote intellectual diversity and support the pursuit of knowledge and truth as a fundamental purpose of the university."
The resolution, which recommends universities and colleges adopt a so-called Academic Bill of rights, has already sparked some discord between academics and politicians.
Many, such as Mark Smith director of governmental relations for the American Association of University Professors, oppose the proposition, saying that it effectively allows for the government to control the discourse present within academia.

"It's important that these issues be considered on the campus, not in the government, and not have government dictating what fair and balanced is." he said.
Some supporters of the resolution say that it is a liberal bias — not republican views — that has stifled the free discussion of ideas within the classroom. They say that proactive steps need to be taken in order to correct the imbalance.
Rep. Brenda Landwehr (R-Wichita) indicates that the resolution is a reactionary blow aimed at everyone's favorite REL 124 professor. The Lawrence Journal-World quotes Landwehr as saying, "The Paul Mireckl deal showed in detail what many of us have said for many years: Students are afraid to speak out because professors say, 'It's my way or the highway.'"

Do not despair. There are intelligent and respectful leaders out there, at all levels of government. On the national level look to Rep. Dennis Moore (D-KS) for an example; again and again Moore has proven he is willing to work with and for students. On the state level, Rep. Barbara Ballard (D-Lawrence) is a true picture of leadership and treats all Kansans with respect.

Some leaders behave badly
Political leaders are falling right and left. Between the lobbyist scandals, the controversy over President Bush using domestic spying and one very sorry quail-hunting partner, it is no wonder the American public is skeptical of its leadership, and that is just on the national level. We have our own problems here in the Sunflower state.
The Speaker of the Kansas House of Representatives, Doug Mays, has a long history of acting inappropriately and not playing well with others. There is one incident that I believe is truly illustrative of his lack of leadership. The Kansas City Star reported that at the end of February the representative from Topeka declined to let the House consider a bill proposed by high school students of the Shawnee Mission school district that would declare Little Bluestem as the state grass. If this were the end of the story I would say that the legislature simply missed an opportunity to engage students in the political process, but Mays took the missed opportunity and turned it into a complete disaster. In a world of TV and cell phones, engaging youth in politics is one of the most important and challenging issues our democracy will face. And Mays tells this group of high school students that the legislature is too busy "to teach third-graders a lesson in democracy."
What lesson were you trying to teach them, Mr. Mays? Students of all ages constantly feel distanced from and ignored by the American political system. Were you hoping to reinforce this idea? As a political leader you should be setting an example for the citizens of this state, not encouraging the common idea that you couldn't care less about the youth of Kansas. We need leaders who will not discriminate based on age. I doubt you would ever treat a group of business leaders that way, Mr. Mays.

Google agrees to settle 'click fraud' suit
BY MICHAEL LIEDTKE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — Google Inc. has agreed to pay up to $90 million to settle a lawsuit alleging the online search engine leader overcharged thousands of advertisers who paid for bogus sales referrals generated through a ruse known as "click fraud."
The proposed settlement,
keting network.
announced by the company Wednesday, would apply to all advertisers in Google's network during the past four years. Any Web site showing improper charges dating back to 2002 will be eligible for an account credit that could be used toward future ads distributed by Google.
The lawsuit, filed by Lane's Gifts and Collectibles on behalf of all Google advertisers, revolves around one of the most sensitive subjects facing Google and Yahoo Inc., which runs the Internet's second largest mar-
Yahoo said Wednesday that it intends to fight the lawsuit's allegations.
The total value of the credits available to advertisers will be lower than $90 million because
part of that amount will be used to cover the fees of lawyers who filed the case last year in Arkansas state court. The proposed settlement still requires final court approval.
Mountain View, Calif.-based Google makes virtually all of its money from text-based advertising links that trigger commissions each time they are clicked on. Besides enriching Google, the system has been a boon for advertisers, whose sales have
been boosted by an increased traffic from prospective buyers.
But sometimes scam artists repeatedly click on specific advertising links even though they have no intentions of buying anything. The motives for the malicious activity known as click fraud vary widely, but the net effect is the same: advertisers end up paying for fruitless Web traffic.

OUR OPINION
Online social network needs better safeguards
It was welcome news when MySpace.com announced it would beef up its security and screening methods last week. The online social community's announcement came after several adults were arrested for using the site to arrange sexual liaisons with minors. Better security and monitoring of the Web site is definitely a step in the right direction and the site's management should be applauded.
Unfortunately, another online social community may be taking a step in the opposite direction when it comes to the safety of its younger members. Facebook.com should do more to ensure proper use of its social Web site and educate its members about the dangers of online social interaction.
Just weeks ago, Facebook allowed its college-age users to add high school-age users and vice versa. Now anyone at a university — faculty, staff or student — can have access to the information about students as young as 13. Alumni who graduated before the Facebook phenomenon hit could pay for an Alumni Association membership, thus receiving a University e-mail with which to register on the Web site.
Facebook's management should be taking a cue from their counterparts at MySpace, and be careful how they let members use their site. While most members might have no ulterior motives when it comes to online interaction, there is still that small percentage that may misuse the online community, and that's a risk that needs to be avoided. Fake profiles for various celebrities and other characters exist. Someone could just as easily create a realistic profile of a young man or woman to lower the defenses of those upon whom they prey.
Issue: Online social Web site standards
Stance: Facebook should take precautions like MySpace to avoid abuse of its accounts.
Officials at MySpace have said that there is no completely reliable way to verify the age of users and they're right. Barring the implementation of a national identification system, the only effective way to know someone's age is to meet them in person, and even that can be misleading. But MySpace plans to inform its users about abusers of its services through an educational campaign that hopes to limit any future problems.
Facebook is an excellent resource and can add to a student's social life, but just as anything else, it can lead to problems if abused and not monitored. The Web site needs to take a cue from its counterpart and do what it can to prevent future problems.

From my experience at several universities and with several advising systems, I know that to make the most out of any advising system, the student must take primary responsibility. This is what you need to do: Read the requirements, study your ARTS form, meet with advisors and ask questions.

Minor not the answer
Though I share your high regard for the Spanish language and its ever-increasing global impact, I cannot agree with the necessity of a Spanish minor Spanish, like any other language, requires constant immersion, application and dedication, though lower classes are intensive and provide the foundation, the upper courses provide a constant source of application.
the culture of the language. The upper-level courses in the department allow students to interact with professors who are dedicated to helping students understand the subtle differences within the Spanish-speaking world.
There is a certain curriculum needed to grasp the subject matter that will allow others, albeit in the business or education profession, to have a command of the language, and to appreciate the culture as well.
Without opportunities for application, allowing a minor would only increase the number of unprepared bilingual graduates. One element many overlook is the importance of understanding

Academic Bill of Rights equates to 'blow-hardism'
Other supporters have a different outlook. Rep. Mary Pilcher-Cook (R-Shawnee) sees the resolution as a preventative measure against liberal bias.
"Although I do not believe we have that problem in Kansas to the same degree, I believe our Kansas citizens would like to keep it that way," she said.

Political/ideological bias is a problem at The University of Kansas. But, this action on part of the legislature would be a lot more meaningful if it actually meant something. In reality, this is the archetypal non-issue if there ever was one. In the end, the resolution will probably be adopted. And, some professors and students will probably be pretty upset. And, then, the politicians will issue a few press releases. And, after that, everyone will forget the whole issue. The resolution is, after all, a resolution. It has no consequences, no impact and no affect on Kansas: it—like most things politicians say—really is the epitome of blow-hardism.
▼ COMMENTARY
In light of a recent resolution brought to the House Appropriations Committee by Rep. Becky Hutchins (R-Holton), it is interesting that Courtney Farn would choose to call Republicans ignorant.
HCR #5035 is "a concurrent resolution expressing the sense of the Kansas House of Representatives and Senate that colleges and universities should [...] secure the intellectual independence of faculty members and students, protect the principles of academic freedom, promote intellectual diversity and support the pursuit of knowledge and truth as a fundamental purpose of the university."
The resolution, which recommends universities and colleges adopt a so-called Academic Bill of rights, has already sparked some discord between academics and politicians.
Many, such as Mark Smith, director of governmental relations for the American Association of University Professors, oppose the proposition, saying that it effectively allows for the government to control the discourse present within academia.
ANDREW SOUKUP opinion@kansan.com
Soukup is a Lakin sophomore in linguistics
"It's important that these issues be considered on the campus, not in the government, and not have government dictating what fair and balanced is," he said.
Some supporters of the resolution say that it is a liberal bias — not republican views — that has stifled the free discussion of ideas within the classroom. They say that proactive steps need to be taken in order to correct the imbalance.
Rep. Brenda Landwehr (R-Wichita) indicates that the resolution is a reactionary blow aimed at everyone's favorite REL 124 professor. The Lawrence Journal-World quotes Landwehr as saying, "The Paul Mireckl deal showed in detail what many of us have said for many years: Students are afraid to speak out because professors say, 'It's my way or the highway.'"

The truth is that we get the kind of leaders we ask for, so it is time to let politicians know that disrespectful and discriminating behavior will not be tolerated.
Stuewe is a Lawrence sophomore in political science and American studies.
Do not despair. There are intelligent and respectful leaders out there, at all levels of government. On the national level look to Rep. Dennis Moore (D - KS) for an example; again and again Moore has proven he is willing to work with and for students. On the state level, Rep. Barbara Ballard (D-Lawrence) is a true picture of leadership and treats all Kansans with respect.

What lesson were you trying to teach them, Mr. Mays? Students of all ages constantly feel distanced from and ignored by the American political system. Were you hoping to reinforce this idea? As a political leader you should be setting an example for the citizens of this state, not encouraging the common idea that you couldn't care less about the youth of Kansas. We need leaders who will not discriminate based on age. I doubt you would ever treat a group of business leaders that wav. Mr. Mays.

Political leaders are falling right and left. Between the lobbyist scandals, the controversy over President Bush using domestic spying and one very sorry quail-hunting partner, it is no wonder the American public is skeptical of its leadership, and that is just on the national level. We have our own problems here in the Sunflower state.

The Speaker of the Kansas House of Representatives, Doug Mays, has a long history of acting inappropriately and not playing well with others. There is one incident that I believe is truly illustrative of his lack of leadership. The Kansas City Star reported that at the end of February the representative from Topeka declined to let the House consider a bill proposed by high school students of the Shawnee Mission school district that would declare Little Bluestem as the state grass. If this were the end of the story I would say that the legislature simply missed an opportunity to engage students in the political process, but Mays took the missed opportunity and turned it into a complete disaster. In a world of TV and cell phones, engaging youth in politics is one of the most important and challenging issues our democracy will face. And Mays tells this group of high school students that the legislature is too busy "to teach third-graders a lesson in democracy."

After withdrawal, only two candidates for vice provost for student success left
All three of the candidates for associate vice provost for student success have made their public presentations. Only two candidates remain however, as Katherine Sermersheim, the first candidate, has withdrawn. Whichever of the remaining two candidates is chosen will join Vice Provost Marlesa Roney and Associate Vice Provosts Rich Morrell and Kathryn Nemeth Tuttle to make up the senior leadership team for Student Success. The department of Student Success is responsible for services and programs that assist students such as KU Recreation Services and the KU Writing Center.

Long is vice president for student services at Johnson County Community College. During his presentation, Long emphasized the importance of listening to students' individual concerns rather than immediately trying to refer them to a program or service.
Long talked about enthusiastically listening to students' interests, encouraging their successes and genuinely caring about their disappointments. All of those elements were part of actively participating in students' lives he said.
"People think that their program will show that they care, but they have to care as individuals," Long said.

"For me active is a big, big word. If I can't be active in students' lives then I need to move on," he said.

She has two children, ages 2 and 4, who she said gave meaning to her life.
Focusing on the individual student was very important to her, she said,and student services needed to use the students more to find out what was important to them.

Freshman infielder Val Chapple and freshman catcher Erik Simimong collipe in the top of the 5th inning of the first of two games on Wednesday. Despite missing the catch, Kansas defeated Missouri State 11-3 and 3-0 at Arrochar Ballpark.
Wednesday night's 10-1 victory against Baker (6-
15), put Kansas (14-4) at a spot even last year's nationa
champion, Texas, cannot claim.
Under coach Ritch Price, the Jayhawks are 48-0 when they chalk up 10 or more runs, and moved to 49-0 after Wednesday night's victory.
A three-run Gus Milner bomb over the left-field fence in the bottom of the third got the game going in the Jayhawks' favor much earlier than last year's bout with the Wildcats.
After failing to drive in a run at home in the past weekend's game against Western Illinois, Milner, senior right fielder, erupted this time, knocking in four runs on four hits Wednesday afternoon.
In the bottom of the fourth, a few of his teammates decided to help out. The extra base hits came as quickly as the wind out of right field as Kansas racked up a pair of doubles coupled with a pair of home runs.
SEE BASEBALL ON PAGE 2B
"Anytime you can get three or four home runs in a game — that's always awesome," said Milner, who leads the team with a .437 batting average. "Kind of sparks the offense a little bit, gets some confidence in those guys who might not be hitting too well to get some home runs under their belts."

Self received 20 of the 24 first-place votes by the Associated Press.

Jayhawks face tough road in tourney
YOU ARE INDIVIDUALS.
TRAVIS ROBINETT
trobinett@kansan.com
The Big 12 tournament tips off today and every team in the first round must win for a chance at a NCAA tournament bid.
The first game of the day, which starts at 11:30 a.m. instead of noon this year, matches No. 8 seed Texas Tech against No. 9 seed Kansas State. The winner plays top-seed Texas on Friday. Either team should pose no problem to the Longhorns, and neither team is on the bubble. This may be a game to sleep through.
Next up is No. 5 seed Colorado versus No. 12 seed Baylor. Believe it or not, this could be the best game of the day. Baylor, which didn't play a game outside of the Big 12 this season, is playing its best basketball of the year. The Bears have won two out of their last three games. Their two victories, against Texas Tech and Iowa State, were by a combined 29 points, and the loss came by three points at Oklahoma State.
But Colorado is making its last stand, and must win at least two games to have a legitimate chance to make the NCAA tournament. A Colorado victory would match it against Texas A&M on Friday, which ESPN.com's "Bubble Watch" called a possible NCAA tournament elimination game.
The evening session starts at 6 p.m., with No. 7 seed Oklahoma State against No. 10 seed Iowa State. The winner will play none other than No. 2 seed Kansas tomorrow. Just like the movie "Alien vs. Predator" whoever wins, we lose — not necessarily the game, but it will be a tough situation either way. The Cowboys and Cyclones are arguably the two most dangerous teams playing today.
Oklahoma State is young and improving, proven by its 21-point victory against Texas and its one-point loss to Oklahoma on the road, a game the Cowboys should have won.
It seems unfair that Kansas must play one of these teams when third-seeded Oklahoma will play the winner between the No. 6 seed Nebraska and the No. 11 seed Missouri. Missouri ended its season with a home victory against Nebraska and avoided the embarrassment of finishing last place in the conference. Oklahoma should breeze by either team while Kansas will probably have to play tough to get to Saturday.
Iowa State has two experienced, All-Big 12 guards in Curtis Stinson and Will Blalock, who average a combined 34.7 points and 11.7 assists per game. Don't forget that beating a team three times in one season is a difficult task. Kansas has already defeated Iowa State twice.
Normally, you shouldn't buy into the hype of the Big 12 tournament. Neither of Kansas' Final Four teams this decade won the conference tournament. But this season, if Kansas wins, its most likely road includes Oklahoma State, Oklahoma and Texas. With those three victories, the Jayhawks could be a No. 3 seed in the NCAA tournament, which is a much easier place to than a No. 4 or No. 5 seed. For this team, the conference tournament is more important.

Freshmen in spotlight against Baker
By SHIawn SHROYER
sshroyer@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Kansas' weekend series against Western Illinois saw only two freshman pitchers throw an inning apiece for the Jayhawks. On Wednesday, Kansas showcased all five of its freshman pitches.
In their eight innings pitched, the freshmen struck out seven batters, walked five, allowed five hits and one run. After the game, Kansas coach Ritch Price had only one concern with the performances of his young pitchers.
"If they'd have thrown more strikes early in the count, I'd have been very pleased." he said.
"I just tried to remain calm, just tried to figure out what I was doing wrong." Czyz said.
Getting the starting nod for the first time at Hoglund Ballpark was lefty Nick Czyz. On Tuesday, Czyz said he wasn't feeling any nerves going into the game, but four straight balls to the first hitter he faced told a different story.
Czvz did so just in time to keep
Baker off the scoreboard in the first inning. With two out and the bases loaded, he struck out Baker center fielder Kyle King.
"It felt good," said Czyz, of getting out of the jam. "I got myself into it, so it was up to myself to get out of it."
Czyz faced the minimum number of hitters in the second inning and struck out the first two batters of the third. One Baker run after back-to-back hits in the third was the only blemish in Czyz's three innings of work that included three strikeouts. That run was Baker's only of the game, and each of the Kansas pitchers after Czyz retired the first batter they faced.
In the fourth, King came to the plate again for Baker, but a different freshman was on the mound for Kansas — left Andy Marks.
Although it was a different pitcher, it was the same result for King as he went down on strikes again. Marks surrendered a double to the next batter, but retired the side with two straight strikeouts.
RG
Marks pitched only one more inning, but was nearly perfect for the
day, giving up one hit, walking none and striking out three. With Kansas ahead 9-1 when he exited the game, Marks was awarded his first victory as a fawhawk.
"I was just glad that I threw strikes," Marks said. "Overall, I was glad that I had command of all my pitches."
Kansas used three more freshmen in the following three innings before senior Trey Randa closed the game in the ninth.
Carter Holt, who along with Czyz was the only other freshman who had pitched at home before Wednesday, was next on the hill for Kansas. Holt struggled in his first home appearance against Western Illinois, but in just one inning of work on Wednesday, Holt retired Baker in order.
Senior infielder Ritchie Price slides across home in the first inning against Baker on Wednesday. The Jayhawks defeated the Wildcats 10-1 and are now 14-4 on the season.
In the top of the seventh, lefty Ryan Anthony started out strong, striking out the first batter he faced. Anthony then had some control problems, walking two straight batters. But after Ritchie Price gunned a base runner down at the plate for the second out, Anthony fielded a grounder and tossed it to first to end the inning with no harm done.
Paul Smyth was the final freshman to take the mound for Kansas. Although he hadn't pitched since Feb. 25 he didn't show any signs of rust or nerves in his first home appearance.
"I've figured out that nerves don't really help you, you've got to kind of pump yourself up, if anything," Smyth said. "So, I just try to do my best to get as much energy into my pitches as I could."

In one inning of work, Smyth only needed seven pitches to retire Baker in order.
Freshman pitcher Andy Marks pitches during the fourth inning against Baker on Wednesday. Marks pitched in relief and earned his first victory of 2006, allowing only one hit over two innings while striking out three batters.

CONTINUED FROM 1B
Freshman first baseman Preston Land and junior catcher Dylan Parzyk led off the fourth inning with stand up doubles. Adding to the onslaught, senior Ritchie Price went yard for the first time this season. Price's two-run shot chased Baker starter Kyle Metzger (2-4) from the game with the loss after just 3.2 innings of work.
Heading back to his dugout, Price was hit with a backhanded compliment when a young Jay-
hawk fan had some words for the shortstop.
Taking Metzger's spot was right-hander Randy Sutcliffe, who hit the same wall. The first batter he faced was senior infielder Jared Schweitzer, who sent a solo shot over the left field fence. After the fourth,
"He said It's good to see you hit your first home run' in a tone that made it sound like he was surprised that it actually happened. It is kind of surprising." Price said. "Today was kind of a relaxed atmosphere so we can laugh about things like that."
1M”
We really like him. He's kind of been a little shocked mentally, getting knocked around a little bit. But he's good stuff."

Ritch Price Kansas baseball coach
Kansas held a commanding 8-1 lead.
Freshman lefties Nick Czyz and Andy Marks (1-0) took the bulk of the pitching load. They threw for the first five innings.
Czyz received a no-decision in a three walk, three hit, three strikeout, three inning outing. Marks took over in the fourth and fifth to earn the victory.
In two innings of relief, Marks allowed just one hit and fanned three Wildcat batters.
"We really like him," coach Price said of Marks. "He's kind of been a little shocked mentally, getting knocked around a little bit. But he's got good stuff."
The victory ended the Jayhawks short-lived home stand.
The team takes off tomorrow to face No. 2 Clemson this weekend.
Baseball Notes
- The first windshield fatality at Hoglund Park happened during Wednesday's game. A foul ball smashed through the back window of a black sedan.
Kansas was ranked No.25 in the Baseball America poll entering Wednesday's game.

Delta Upsilon 2 beat Theta Chi 2 56-32 Tuesday night at the Student Recreation Fitness Center to move on to the next round of the men's greek intramural basketball playoffs.
Both teams got a quick start on offense and defense. Theta Chi's Hunter McDowell, Indianapolis sophomore, hit three point-shots to help out on the scoring side. Delta Upsilon also had great three-point shooting from Nolan Seim, Salina junior.
The defensive side was ruled by Delta Upsilon with steals by Matt Metz, Wichita sophomore, Seim, and Neil Miller, Overland Park junior.
The first half ended with strong play both offensively and defensively by Delta Upsilon's Metz and Miller that led to a 27-15 lead at the half.
"Our team played good on defense tonight and we played really well against the 'zone defense,' Metz said.
Delta Upsilon got off to a slow start during the second half and did not score for the first five-and-a-half minutes. That soon changed with Metz and Eddie Dickerson, Albuquerque, N.M., freshman leading the way.
Theta Chi had a small run led by McDowell and Daniel Summerfelt, Mercer Island, Wash., junior, to try to get back in the game, but the lack of substitutes led to a tired team in the second half.
"We went on a good run in the first half, but the second half our team was really tired and we were not able to make up the deficit," Ian Stanford, Fairway freshman said.
Daniel Summerfelt, Morcer Island, Wash. junior, tries to get past Ross Reichenberger, Wichita sophomore, during an intramural basketball game Tuesday night in the Student Recreation Fitness Center. DU2 went on to beat Theta Chi 2, 56-32.
Delta Upsilon moves on to round 2 to play either Sig Ep 1 or Beta A-3 on Sunday night.

BIG 12 MEN'S BASKETBALL
BY STEPHEN HAWKINS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Conference teams searching for bids
DALLAS — When the Big 12 tournament was first played in Dallas three years ago, the league was establishing itself as a power basketball conference.
After its first tournament outside of Kansas City ended in 2003, the Big 12 had two No.1 seeds and a No.2 for the NCAA tournament. And the conference sent six teams, matching the Southeastern Conference for the most, for the fourth straight year.
A year later, after playing in Dallas again, the league's status took a severe blow. Just four teams made the 65-team NCAA field, and regular season and tournament champion Oklahoma managed only a No.2 seed.
The Big 12 is back in Big D and could end with even fewer teams getting NCAA bids this time.
Only No. 8 Texas (22-5) and No. 17 Kansas (22-7), the regular season co-champions, along
with No. 22 Oklahoma (20-7), go into this week's tournament virtually assured of NCAA berths. The Sooners won 11 of 13 games before losing 72-48 on Sunday in a game at Texas.
The conference, in its 10th season, has always had at least four teams advance.
Texas A&M (20-7) has a seven-game winning streak and a first-round bye. But the Aggies have never won a Big 12 tournament game and haven't had many impressive victories this season. They face a potential quarterfinal match-up against Colorado (19-8), which is on the NCAA bubble because of inconsistent play since winning five in a row to end January.
"I think certainly because our league has gotten better from the bottom up, the perception is that the league is down," Colorado coach Ricardo Patton said Wednesday. "I think it's opposite. I think the league has gotten better as a whole."
Enfuego
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
"All of us are used to playing varsity basketball; we know we have an advantage." said Enfuego's Bradley Stephenson, Leawood freshman. With 13 minutes remaining, Stephenson ensured DC T-Town Connection that its initial feeling of fear was no mistake as he threw down a wide-open slam dunk to make the score 20-2.
Stephenson went on to score 20 points in the game, many of which were assisted by Ryan Harms, Lenexa senior. Harms ended up with 14 of his own points. Gentry Leitner, St. Louis freshman, was a force to be reckoned with down low, where he stacked up 16 points. Dan Kowalski, Lenexa junior, proved to be an exceptional outside shooter with five three-point baskets.
There were no comebacks in sight for *DC T-Town Connection*, which entered the second half down 47-6. However, this did not alter its play. *DC T-Town Connection* kept putting forth its best effort. The team more than tripled its first-half point total during the second半.
"We kind of found a way to their weakness but also, I don't think they were trying as hard," said Cornelius Stanford, Topeka freshman.
Enfuego will continue on its quest for a championship with its second-round game tonight.

"I definitely would like to play on," senior guard Erica Hallman said. "We haven't made the post-season since I've been here."
Also helping the Jayhawks is that the WNIT will expand this year to include 40 teams, instead of the 32 that it has accepted in previous years.
Kansas' three seniors have not made the postseason during their four years at Kansas, and they look forward to the opportunity to continue their season, even if it is in the WNIT.
Despite the 4-12 conference record, the team has met the only requirement to play in the WNIT, having an overall record with more victories than losses.
Play at The Granada
It also helps that Kansas has consistently drawn big crowds to Allen Fieldhouse, compared to several of the teams liable to make the tournament, and hasn't participated in the postseason since 2000.
It has been an up-and-down year for Kansas, including a big victory against Texas in Allen Fieldhouse and an inability to win a road game until the final weeks of the season, when it beat Iowa State 57-56 in overtime.
"I think they are definitely getting strong consideration right now." Renee Carlson, assistant director of the WNIT, told The University Daily Kansan in February.
Kansas also notched a big victory against Missouri in the Border Showdown, a game that will look good on the team's WNIT resume.
of the season.
Henrickson sounded confident on Tuesday night that the team would be selected, but until next Monday night she will have to do the only thing she can: wait.
As of March 5, the team's RPI was the 100th best in the country, and 104 teams will be selected into the postseason between the two tournaments.

"I feel like we came out flat today," Bunge said. "We didn't come out here with the energy that I thought we would and that showed."
Moppin continued her dominance at the plate with a 2-for-2 effort. She drove in one run, coaxed a walk and scored twice.
"Lately, I've been going to the plate telling myself to let the ball get deep, see the ball, and have a good top hand." Moppin said. "I am seeing the ball well, and trying to jump on the first pitch I like."
Game two saw senior pitcher Kassie Humphreys (5-6) work her magic in a 3-0 shutout of the Bears.
Humphries threw seven masterful inings of softball. She allowed
four hits while striking out eight and walking one.
Bunge said that her team was getting solid pitching and doing some good things offensively, but that the defense wasn't contributing like it should.
"This team prides itself in being sound," Bunge said. "We are a good defense that is simply not playing well. We often look like the Bad News Bears out there, and we need to clean up our defense before we get into conference play."
Kansas cleaned up the defense in the second game, committing only one error. With Humphreys sending the Bears down in fashion, the Jayhawks continued to pound the ball for nine hits, but scored only three runs.

Conference title does not guarantee NCAA title
BY ERIC JORGENSEN
ejorgensen@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
In fact, it rarely means NCAA tournament success. Only four Big 12 Tournament champions have made it past the Sweet 16 in the NCAA tournament.
The trend has been the following: win the Big 12 Tournament championship, watch the NCAA championship on television.
If history is any indication, the Big 12 Tournament championships do not translate to NCAA tournament championships.
Bob Burda, assistant Big 12 Conference commissioner for communications, said teams that were fighting for a good seed in the NCAA tournament could play harder
than teams that already had guaranteed spots in the tournament.
"It's tournament time, and some teams are playing for their lives," Burda said.
There are a few exceptions to this trend. Oklahoma won the Big 12 Tournament in 2002 and Oklahoma State in 2004. Both advanced to the Final Four, but lost in those semi-final matches.
In the Big 12's 10 years of existence, no team from the conference has been the NCAA champion.
The conference's last national champion was the 1988 Kansas team that featured the likes of Danny Manning, Chris Piper, Milt Newton and Scooter Barry. That team belonged to the now extinct Big Eight conference. It defeated then Big
Eight-champion Oklahoma in the national championship game.
The last time Kansas was the Big 12 Tournament champion was the 1998-99 season, completing a three-year sweep.
However, those three seasons ended in NCAA Sweet 16 and two second round tournament losses.
No Big 12 North team has ever been the Big 12 Tournament champion, while also advancing to the Final Four.
The 1999-2000 Iowa State team, led by Marcus Fizer and Jamaal Tinsley, beat Oklahoma in the Big 12 championship, but then lost in the Elite Eight to Michigan State.

10th-inning error allowed the tiebreaking run to score, and the Nationals dropped to 1-6 in spring training with one tie. On Tuesday, the Nationals were routed by Florida 22-12.
Embarrassed manager says it's time to change
IERA, Fla. — Jim Bowden was angry at the Washington Nationals following their 7-4, 10-inning loss to the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday.
Center fielder Marlon Byrd's
"I have been embarrassed the last two days," Bowden, the Nationals' general manager, said. "There's going to be major cuts in the next 48
hours. It's time to take it to another level."
Washington tied the score at four in the ninth inning. After Byrd's error in the 10th, Junior Spivey hit a two-run single.
"I just don't know why we can't throw and catch the ball" Nationals manager Frank Robinson said.

Brewers defeat Royals during extra innings
Fielder hits 450-foot homer into the outfield
PHOENIX — Prince Fielder's strained right elbow isn't hurting his power.
WIRE AND STAFF REPORTS
Fielder hit a 450-foot homer off Joe Mays in his first at-bat Wednesday, helping the Milwaukee Brewers beat a Kansas City Royals' split squad 7-6 in 10 innings.
Fielder, whose home run landed behind the outfield berm, injured the elbow in a hitting drill last weekend.
"It really only hurts when I swing and miss, so I'll try not to do that," he quipped.
Ned Yost IV, a minor league first baseman and son of the Brewers manager, singled home the winning run with one out in the 10th.
"I'm happy for him," the elder Yost said.
David Bush, acquired from Toronto in the Lyle Overbay trade, bolstered his bid to win
"It really only hurts when I swing and miss, so I'll try not to do that."

the No. 5 spot in Milwaukee's rotation by throwing three scoreless innings.
Bush, who allowed four hits, escaped a first-and-third, one-out jam in the first inning by striking out Reggie Sanders and getting Mark Teahen to ground out.
Zach Jackson and Gabe Gross, the other two players who came to Milwaukee in the Overbay trade, also contributed to the victory. Jackson pitched allowed two runs and four hits in three innings.
Gross hit a two-run homer off Runelvys Hernandez.
Mays gave up three runs in three innings, Hernandez allowed two runs in three innings and Mike MacDougal gave up a run and two walks in his inning of work.
Trailing 6-2 in the eighth, the Royals scored four runs on five hits against Brewers reliever Dan Kolb. Non-roster player Mitch Maier contributed a two-run double to the rally.
Milwaukee missed a chance to win the game in the ninth. With one out and Carlos Corporan on third, Tony Gwynn Jr. — the son of the former San Diego Padres star — fouled off a squeeze bunt and then lifted a shallow fly to Maier, who threw out Corporan at the plate from left.
The Royals are 3-3 in spring training play. They opened up the exhibition season with a tie against the Texas Rangers on March 2.
Royals notes:
Kansas City split the rest of the series with Texas, winning 7-6 on March 3 and losing 9-8 on March 4.

WORLD BASEBALL CLASSIC
Canada upsets U.S.
31
Varitek's slam not enough to avoid loss
BY BOB BAUM

USA catcher Jason Varitek hits a grand slam against Canada during the fifth inning of round one of the World Baseball Classic at Chase Field in Phoenix. Canada got out to an early 8-0 start and won the game 8-6.
Chase Ulloy thought he had given the United States the lead
PHOENIX — Adam Stern hit .133 in 36 games for the Boston Red Sox in an injury-plagued 2005 season. Adam Loewen spent all of last year at Class A Frederick in the a Baltimore organization.
On a brisk Wednesday afternoon, they outshone the Jeters and A-Rods of Team USA, leading Canada to an surprising 8-6 victory in the first round of the inaugural World Baseball Classic.
"We like to tell everyone we can play baseball, too," Stern said. "We're not just a hockey country."
Stern hit an inside-the-park homer, drove in four runs and made two sensational catches in center.
Loewen, a 21-year-old left-hander, gave up three hits and walked three but didn't allow a run in 3-2-3 innings and got the victory.
"He pitched a heck of a game," U.S. manager Buck Martinez said, "and he showed a lot of composure for a guy that hasn't pitched about A-ball."
"The team played unbelievably behind me," Loewen said. "Stern had the game of his life."
Jason Varitek's 448-foot grand slam helped bring the United States back from an 8-0 deficit, but a Canadian team made up largely of minor leaguers held on.
Loewen escaped a bases-loaded jam in the first when Chipper Jones hit into a double play.
"It's a very quiet locker room right now," Martinez said. "I think everybody is feeling like they got kicked in the stomach."
in the eighth, flipping his bat and raising both arms in triumph after he hit a long drive to center with two on. But Stern made leaping catch at the wall near the 407-foot sign to end the inning.
A crowd of 16,993 at Chase Field alternated between booing America's futility and supportive chants of "U-S-A!"
"I thought Chase's ball was gone when he hit it," Derek Jeter said. "I mean, he crushed that ball, but you've got to hit it pretty good to get it out in that part of the park."
Canada had seven left-handed hitters in the lineup, a situation that played perfectly into the hands of lefty U.S. starter Dontele Willis, the first player to commit to playing for the Americans last summer.
But the Canadians (2-0), who had to rally in the ninth Tuesday night to beat South Africa 11-8, were patient, hit Willis hard and scored in each of the first five innings.
"I just didn't do anything right today," Willis said. "It's just one of those games."
Stern tripped in a run in the second and singled in two more in the third. Then leading off the fifth, his opposite-field fly ball skidded off the base of the bullpen fence past left fielder Matt Holliday.
As Holliday pulled up lame, Stern raced around the bases for an inside-the-park homer to put Canada up 8-0. After being examined by the trainers, Holliday stayed in the game.
The United States didn't allow a runner beyond first base in its 2-0 victory over Mexico on Wednesday, but Willis was ineffective and allowed five runs and six hits in 2-2-3 innings. He was relieved by Al Leiter, who surrendered two runs on three hits in two-thirds of an inning.
"I know for a fact we don't have the depth that some of the other countries have," Canadian manager Ernie Whitt said. "But we do have a lot of heart."

The Starts Drive On the Kind of Day You'll Need
6-Olympic, 4-Footie, 3-Breakage 1-Office
ARIES (March 21-April 19) ★★
Your instincts will take you in a new direction if you permit them to. Understanding a partner could be instrumental to your well-being. Get down to the fundamentals rather than let someone simultaneously add flourish and hassles to your day.
Tonight 'Easy does it.'
HOROSCOPES
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ****** Don't hesitate to clear complicated feelings. How you see a situation could be a lot different from reality. Consider your alternatives more carefully before you nix a wonderful offer.
Tonight: Out and about.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ***
Expenses might bother you, and with good reason. Knowing when to say "no" could have long-term implications. You work way too hard to have problems. Lighten up and relax with those around you.
Tonight: Get into a favorite sport or pastime.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) ******
You are the cat's meow no matter how you look at it. In fact, you could enjoy yourself even more if you relax and talk about what is on your mind. Express your imagination.
Others delight in what they hear.
*Tonight. As you like.*
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) **
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) **★**
Your intuitive sense comes forward. You will like what you see and what is going on. You might want to evaluate a personal situation with a bit more optimism than you have in the recent past. Looosen up.
Tonight. Take your time. Is there really a need to rush?
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) *****
Zoom in on what you want. Your friendly way mixes style and spirit. Others are only too happy to chip in and make a difference.
You have a way of expressing yourself that makes others want to help out.
Tonight: Where your friends are.
LIBRA (Sept, 23-Oct, 22) ★★★
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ★★★
Taking charge will allow you to have more say in the results. You have a way or style that draws many to you. While many do not know what to do, some do. Listen well, and you'll gain ultimately.
Tonight. You are in the spotlight.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★★★
Take a gander at all the possibilities that surround your life. You don't need to agree with others; you simply want to further a pet project. Stop trying to convince everyone that you are right. You don't need to.
Tonight: Follow the music.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) *****
If you have a nagging thought, follow it through. You might not be as sure of yourself as you would like. Someone close -- a roommate or family member -- has many more opinions than you realize. You also might not want to hear them.
Tonight: Go along with another's plans.
CAPRICORIN (Dec, 22-Jan. 19) ******
Others find you easy to get along with. You get past an immediate hassle because of your zip and get-up-and-go. You might want to rehink a situation rather than make an assumption. You aren't getting all the facts.
Tonight: Enjoy those around you.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.) **★**
Finish up as much as you can. You will want to relax, socialize and network soon. Get the heavy or unpleasant erasers and projects done. A sense of relief will make you smile as the day comes to a close. Tongtie Someone whispers money facts into your ear.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) *****
You might be very tired and exhausted with someone who keeps asking you questions.
The other possible scenario is that you could chew off another's ideas. Your creativity peaks as your imagination runs wild.
Tonight: Act like it is the weekend.

ENTERTAINMENT Boy George enters rehab on court order
Boy George, in a plea bargain deal that spared him possible jail time, agreed to enter a drug rehabilitation program and perform community service to resolve his arrest
last year on a cocaine charge.
O'Dowd
The former pop star, whose real name is George O'Dowd, entered his guilty plea Wednesday in Manhattan Criminal Court to third degree
A
false reporting of an incident.
Under the deal, O'Dowd will enter a drug program in England and perform five days of community service in Manhattan. He will pay a $1,000 fine and must avoid arrest on any charges over the next six months.
"I am relieved and happy that this case has been disposed of, and would like to thank the judge, the district attorney and my attorney, Lou Freeman, for the fair and speedy way it was dealt with," O'Dowd, 44, said in a statement. "I love New York, and am looking forward to coming back and working in the states later this year."
It was signed, "George."
He must return to court June 9 with written proof of his stay in a rehabilitation program. O'Dowd had a previous drug history, including a 1986 heroin possession arrest after two of his friends overdosed. O'Dowd entered a rehab program at that point.
If convicted at trial on the drug possession charge, O'Dowd faced a possible sentence of one to 5 1/2 years.
said BarbaraThompson, spokeswoman for the Manhat tan district attorney.
-The Associated Press
He was arrested Oct. 7, 2005, after he called 911 to report an alleged burglary in his Manhattan apartment. Officers found a small pile of cocaine next to a computer. A charge of criminal possession of a controlled substance was dropped as part of the plea bargain.
Stone willing to kiss 'anybody' for peace
Sharon Stone is ready to do her part for Mideast peace: The "Basic Instinct" actress said she "would kiss just about anybody" to end the Israel-Arab conflict.
She arrived in Israel on Tuesday for a five-day trip sponsored by the Peres Center for Peace, founded by Nobel Peace laureate Shimon Peres in 1996 to improve relations with Arabs. It's her first visit to the Holy Land.
Stone, joined by Peres at a news conference, said she couldn't solve the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Palestinians, but could use her fame to help encourage peace efforts.
"I would kiss just about
anybody for peace in the Middle East," she said Wednesday.
ALEXANDRA SCHNEIDER
During her visit, Stone planned to play soccer with a mixed group of Israeli and Palestinian chili-
dren, visit Israeli hospitals that care for Palestinian children and celebrate her 48th birthday Friday with a gala to raise
funds for children's educational and health projects.

Open Letter Regarding The Coca-Cola Company's Commitment to Water Stewardship
The Case for Action.
Freshwater has never been in greater demand for all the services it provides - from habitat to drinking water to irrigation to commercial uses. Across the planet, the most precious, shared resource is increasingly under stress.
The Coca-Cola Company and its worldwide bottling partners have a genuine commitment to adequate and equitable access to water. Water is vital to us all, and there is much work to be done to enable safe drinking water access and protect the watersheds that sustain life.
Our Commitment.
We are committed to help protect and preserve water resources and that commitment begins at home, in our operations. In 2004, we improved our water efficiency by 6% across our global bottling plants. Everyday, we continue to work hard to reduce the amount of water we use, and 2005 results will be reported in detail in our forthcoming annual environmental report.
Making a Start.
With the guidance of environmental and public health leaders, we have begun to see where and how we can help make a difference to this global challenge at a local level. By forging long-term partnerships with the United Nations Foundation, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), and others, we are actively working with communities and addressing our responsibilities to do our part.
- In India, where we have faced allegations about groundwater depletion,we have redoubled our efforts on water sustainability through investment in "rainwater harvesting" in many of our plants. Today, we return a substantial portion of the water we use to local aquifers. We've also partnered with local communities to set up rainwater harvesting projects that benefit the people who live there, including a recent initiative in Lucknow.
- In Mali, in partnership with USAID, we are starting to address community water needs by installing well hand pumps at several locations throughout the country and by working with community groups and micro-entrepreneurs to improve water access in Bamako.
- In Kenya, as with most of the African continent, many schools lack access to safe water and adequate sanitation. The greatest burden is born by girls who are often forced to drop out of school. With the Millennium Water Alliance and CARE, we are introducing Safe Water Systems in primary schools in Nyanza province.
For The Coca-Cola Company, this is just the beginning.
Learn More about Coca-Cola's progress.
Coca-Cola publishes a public report about the company's environmental challenges and progress every year. To see a copy of our most recent Environmental Report, visit www.environmentalreport.coca-cola.com.

SPEAK growing up without a mom
EDITOR'S NOTE
I've had my fair share of run-ins with the KU Parking
Department.
Like everyone else, I've had the occasional ticket for not paying the meter at the gym. I once got a ticket for not being able to park straight (like needed
P
any more proof that I can't park worth a damn). My most
recent (and by recent, I mean Monday) ticket was the result
of an unpaid meter because I only had pennies due to a late night gas station soda run (stupid soda addiction). But my all-time favorite was this year when I parked, unknowingly, in a red zone for three weeks straight
envelope patiently waiting for me.Thankfully I've never had to deal with getting towed by the parking department.Malina Osborne's story chronicles the pain and frustration that the parking department can cause.I only hope it's the kind of pain that I will never have to endure.I'll just stick to trying to learn to park within the lines.
without getting a ticket, only to one day see a lovely pink

BITE
A BITE OUT OF LIFE
by Erin Wisdom
For students, keeping kosher is no piece of cake.
It looked like an ordinary piece of cheese pizza. But when Overland Park freshman Matt Rissien flipped it over to inspect its underside, a stray pepperoni stained him in the face. For Rissien, who keeps kosher, this meant lunch was over before it began.
Maintaining Jewish dietary law is
no simple task in a dog and cheeseburger world. These rules, laid out in the Torah, the first five books of the Jewish bible, and the Talmud, a text containing rabbinical commentary on the Torah, can be especially challenging in a college environment. Away from the kosher-keeping households they grew up in, followers often struggle to find foods that meet their dietary needs, as well
A KOSHER QUICKIE
outside large metropolitan areas, many strict kosher-keepers become default vegetarians.
The law forbids not only the consumption of meat and dairy products together, but also the consumption of any meat that may have come into contact with dairy (or vice-versa) during preparation.
Approximate number of Jewish students at KU: 1700
Percentage of Jews nationwide who keep kosher: 20 percent
as to interact in social situations in which many items on the menu are off-limits.
Number of kosher-keeping Jews at KU, if national trends hold here:340
For those who are strict about keeping kosher, pork, shellfish and consuming meat and dairy products at the same time are all no-nos. Doesn't sound so difficult? Here's the catch: The regulations extend beyond the food itself to the way it's prepared. Meat is not kosher unless the animal has been slaughtered in accordance with Jewish laws that ensure its death was as merciful and painless as possible. Because kosher meat is expensive and not widely available
Some Jewish households go so far in maintaining this rule as to have separate sets of dishes and even separate refrigerators for meat and dairy products. But college students often have much less control over how their food is prepared. At restaurants and campus dining halls there's little they can do to ensure
correct meal preparation without stepping into the kitchen to supervise—and your finer establishments may frown on this.
What does this mean for Risslen, who avoids meat almost entirely and is no fan of leafy greens? Lots of cheese quesadillas, grilled cheese sandwiches and french fries, he says. He's well aware of the obstacle this places between him and a well-balanced diet.
"It's a big struggle, how to eat healthy and meet my dietary needs," he says. "I haven't figured that one out yet."
On top of the challenge of
simply finding food to eat is the added pressure social situations can bring, Michelle Domb, Dallas senior, says the greatest challenge Jewish dietary law presents is the barrier it places between those who keep it and those who don't. In any social situation with food, kosher-keeping people are faced with having to explain why they can't partake without making anyone feel awkward, she says.
good, she says. And because she doesn't mix meat and dairy, she often has to ask for dishes to be prepared specially.
Liz Cohen, Leawood sophomore,
identifies with this awkwardness,
especially when she is with a group
at a restaurant. It can be hard to find
something she can eat that sounds
Despite the practical and social difficulties of keeping kosher, Rissien says the tie it gives him to his faith justifies the effort it requires — even when friends jokingly flaunt their cheeseburgers in front of him.
"You feel like a burden," she says.
"it's a big part of my everyday life, like Judaism itself," he says. "It gives me a spiritual connection to my religion, my faith and our past."
Matt Rissien, Overland Park freshman, chows down on a veggie burger. For Rissien, maintaining a kosher diet at college means swearing off meat almost entirely.
LAYING DOWN THE LAW
The fundamentals of Jewish dietary law are found in Leviticus, a book in the Torah. Faith and obedience, rather than dietary benefit, have always been the primary reasons followers adhere to these laws. Modern science, however, has revealed health benefits that early Jewish followers could never have known.
"Leviticus 11 is profound. It's extremely logical and practical," says Lu Wing, who has a Ph.D. in biochemistry and is a professor at Calvary Chapel Bible College in Murrieta, Calif. and Azusa Pacific University in Azusa, Calif.
The chapter is divided into three categories:
Mammals
You may eat any animal that has a split hoof completely divided and that chews cud. Today, we know that ruminants — animals such as cows that chew cud have four stomachs. By the time their food has been through all four stomachs, any toxins that were in it have been removed before they can reach the parts of the animal people eat. Pigs, which are not kosher, don't have this multiple-stomach toxin-removing process.
Fish
Of all the creatures living in the water of the seas and the streams, you may eat any that have fins and scales. This law places a restriction on eating bottom-dwellers such as shellfish. While bottom-dwellers absorb toxins, fish that have fins and scales do not.
Birds
These are the birds you are to detest and not eat because they are detestable: the eagle, the vulture, the black vulture, the red kite ... The list goes on — taking a total of 20 birds off the menu. What do they all have in common? They
ingest rodents, which we now know carry rabies.
It seems these health benefits paid off for the ancient Israelites, whose life spans were significantly longer than those of others in the area.
"These guys knew nothing about microbiology." Wing says. "But through these laws, God protected them from the health risks they didn't understand."

BITE
A BITE OUT OF LIFE
by Erin Wisdom
For students, keeping kosher is no piece of cake.
It looked like an ordinary piece of cheese pizza. But when Overland Park freshman Matt Rissien flipped it over to inspect its underside, a stray pepperoni stared him in the face. For Rissien, who keeps kosher, this meant lunch was over before it began.
Maintaining Jewish dietary law is
no simple task in a hot dog and cheeseburger world. These rules, laid out in the Torah, the first five books of the Jewish bible, and the Talmud, a text containing rabbinical commentary on the Torah, can be especially challenging in a college environment. Away from the kosher-keeping households they grew up in, followers often struggle to find foods that meet their dietary needs, as well
A KOSHER QUICKIE
outside large metropolitan areas, many strict kosher-keepers become default vegetarians.
Approximate number of Jewish students at KU: 1700
The law forbids not only the consumption of meat and dairy products together, but also the consumption of any meat that may have come into contact with dairy (or vice-versa) during preparation.
- Percentage of Jews nationwide who keep kosher: 20 percent
as to interact in social situations in which many items on the menu are off-limits.
Number of kosher-keeping Jews at KU, if national trends hold here:340
For those who are strict about keeping kosher, pork, shellfish and consuming meat and dairy products at the same time are all no-nos. Doesn't sound so difficult? Here's the catch: The regulations extend beyond the food itself to the way it's prepared. Meat is not kosher unless the animal has been slaughtered in accordance with Jewish laws that ensure its death was as merciful and painless as possible. Because kosher meat is expensive and not widely available
Some Jewish households go so far in maintaining this rule as to have separate sets of dishes and even separate refrigerators for meat and dairy products. But college students often have much less control over how their food is prepared. At restaurants and campus dining halls there's little they can do to ensure
correct meal preparation without stepping into the kitchen to supervise and your finer establishments may frown on this.
What does this mean for Rissian, who avoids meat almost entirely and is no fan of leafy greens? Lots of cheese quesadillas, grilled cheese sandwiches and french fries, he says. He's well aware of the obstacle this places between him and a well-balanced diet.
“It's a big struggle, how to eat healthy and meet my dietary needs,” he says. "I haven't figured that one out yet."
On top of the challenge of
simply finding food to eat is the added pressure social situations can bring, Michelle Domb, Dallas senior, says the greatest challenge Jewish dietary law presents is the barrier it places between those who keep it and those who don't. In any social situation with food, kosher-keeping people are faced with having to explain why they can't partake without making anyone feel awkward, she says.
Liz Cohen, Leawood sophomore,
identifies with this awkwardness,
especially when she is with a group
at a restaurant. It can be hard to find
something she can eat that sounds
good, she says. And because she doesn't mix meat and dairy, she often has to ask for dishes to be prepared specially.
"You feel like a burden," she says.
Despite the practical and social difficulties of keeping kosher, Rissien says the tie it gives him to his faith justifies the effort it requires — even when friends jokingly flaunt their cheeseburgers in front of him.
"It's a big part of my everyday life, like Judaism itself," he says. "It gives me a spiritual connection to my religion, my faith and our past."
Matt Rissien, Overland Park freshman, chows down on a veggie burger. For Rissien maintaining a kosher diet at college means swearing off meat almost entirely.
LAYING DOWN THE LAW
The fundamentals of Jewish dietary law are found in Leviticus, a book in the Torah. Faith and obedience, rather than dietary benefit, have always been the primary reasons followers adhere to these laws. Modern science, however, has revealed health benefits that early Jewish followers could never have known.
"Leviticus 11 is profound. It's extremely logical and practical," says Lu Wing, who has a Ph.D. in biochemistry and is a professor at Calvary Chapel Bible College in Murrieta, Calif., and Azusa Pacific University in Azusa, Calif.
The chapter is divided into three categories:
Mammals
You may eat any animal that has a split hoof completely divided and that chews cud. Today, we know that ruminants — animals such as cows that chew cud — have four stomachs. By the time their food has been through all four stomachs, any toxins that were in it have been removed before they can reach the parts of the animal people eat. Pigs, which are not kosher, don't have this multiple-stomach toxin-removing process.
Fish
Of all the creatures living in the water of the seas and the streams, you may eat any that have fins and scales. This law places a restriction on eating bottom-dwellers such as shellfish. While bottom-dwellers absorb toxins, fish that have fins and scales do not.
Birds
These are the birds you are to detest and not eat because they are detestable: the eagle, the vulture, the black vulture, the red kite. ... The list goes on — taking a total of 20 birds off the menu. What do they all have in common? They
ingest rodents,which we now know carry rabies.
It seems these health benefits paid off for the ancient Israelites, whose life spans were significantly longer than those of others in the area.
"These guys knew nothing about microbiology." Wing says."But through these laws, God protected them from the health risks they didn't understand."

BITE MIND YOUR MANNERS
Ms Manners
If Julia Roberts' character in Pretty Woman can learn to use the correct eating utensils, so can you. The general rule is to start from the outside and work your way in. If dessert is a part of your meal (as it should be), the dessert fork and spoon will almost always be provided with the treat. If not, you will find them at the top of your plate, parallel to the table edge. Never fear five forks again.

PRODUCT REVIEW
MCDONALD'S SPICY PREMIUM CHICKEN SANDWICH
The new spicy premium sandwich joins the McDonald's premium chicken lineup. McDonald's Web site describes the sandwich as a "crispy, tender real chicken breast with a bold blend of chipotle spices." McDonald's needs to add more of the chipotle spices because the sandwich did not have the kick I was expecting. Not even the lettuce, tomatoes, mayonnaise and honey wheat tail could make up for the lack of spiciness. Although I liked the roll this sandwich didn't bring the heat. The spicy sandwich costs $3.60.

With Jim Gaffigan
C
omedian, actor and writer Jim Gaffigan has been entertaining audiences for several years with his trademark quiet observations about everyday life. In addition to doing shows on Comedy Central, he's had
appearances on Late Night with Conan O'Brien and The Late Show with David Letterman. He'll be bringing his arsenal of material about food, religion and life to the Uptown Theater in Kansas City on March 11.
Q. You got married recently. How has being
have a mentality like how has being married changed your stand-up routines?
A. My wife and I are kind of like writing partners. She's an influence. Plus, now we have two kids. I've tried to resist writing jokes about being married and having kids. When I was 19, I'd see comedians do jokes about having kids, and those types of jokes are hard to relate to. But it's definitely affected me, because I'm more exhausted. I have less time to write.
Q. Has it affected the amount of touring you'd like to do?
A. it hasn't affected it too much.It's made doing these theater dates more appealing to me.I'd rather go to any city for one night,then another city and then be home,rather than be in one city for five days,which is what you do when you do clubs.
Q. Your popularity has been growing in the last couple of years. What's it like going from clubs to theaters?
A. Small clubs are great, but big theaters are really great. It's a bigger level of excitement. Theater shows aren't distracted by a wait staff or anything like that. Plus, for the audience it makes a better date. You don't have to worry about variables such as the person next to you being drunk.
Q. Do you miss the clubs and the intimate feel?
A. Yeah, definitely. Clubs and theaters are kind of like comparing water skiing to snow skiing; they're both great. It really depends on the situation. It's just where the opportunity lies. Theaters are something special. It's like seeing a movie in a big movie theater compared to a small one.
Q. What do you think made you realize you could do this as a career?
A. The last time I did Conan, I could hear him laughing in the background. I thought I'm pretty good at this'. Even doing the cartoon series Dr.Katz: Professional Therapist 10 years ago was a big deal for me. To get on shows I like or to get opportunities to do an hour-long special on Comedy Central just feels cool.
Q. How much preparation do you do before performing a new show?
A. I'm always writing. So, it's not like I'm starting from scratch. I'm much more of an observational person compared to Lewis Black, who will look at a newspaper and say, "Wow Dick Cheney shot someone in the face, that's funny," and will do that stuff. Like, I think revolving doors are weird.
PETER BROWN
so I did things about that. I want my stuff to be something people know.
Q. Do you practice in front of friends or your wife?
A. I write ideas with my wife. It's an important partnership. We'll come up with ideas and bounce them around together.
Q. What does 2006 hold for you?
A. I don't really know. I'm just trying to enjoy it now. I don't have anything planned out, I just did a pilot for TBS that might get picked up. I've done a million pilots, though, so I don't know what will happen with that one. I'm just trying to enjoy the ride.
Q. Do you get tired of doing stand-up?
A. You can get burned out. The exhausting thing is the traveling. Sometimes you do like three shows in one night. That's insane. By the end I don't even want to hear my own voice.
Q. If you could use one word to describe your shows, what would you use?
A. That's hard.I got this one review where this guy was like,'The CD is really funny,but there is no cursing on it.' Like that is the only reason you'd buy a comedy CD. It's great to be clean, but there's this negative stink around it. You say an f-bomb,and it definitely makes it easier for people to laugh at it. But I've tried not to fall back on that crutch.
I guess maybe I'd use the word, "weird". I am weird.

Pack up your bowling bag and head to the alley
One Tuesday night, John Imming wanted to show a military friend who'd never been to KU a good time. He didn't want to take him to the bars.
the movies or spend lots of money. As they sat and thought of things to do, Imming had an idea." I knew a bowling alley had $9.90 bowling on Tuesdays," says the Topeka Junior. "So we just went." The next week, Imming invited more friends to join and the week after that as well. By summer, Imming and as many as 25 friends met every Tuesday for $9.90 bowling. He's bowled every week for the past year.
Imming isn't alone in his passion for bowling. The sport is gaining popularity in high schools and colleges throughout the United States. Tom Blasco, pro bowler, coach and instructor in Florida, cites a study that says there are 7 million games bowled
daily, 69 million bowlers and a $10 billion economic impact in the United States alone. Bowling is making its way in the world as a great recreational sport, and it's time college students took notice.

a collection of objects in a child's grave in Egypt that appeared to be used for a crude form of bowling, said Jerry Baltz, executive director of the international Bowling Museum. If he's correct, then bowling traces its ancestry to 3200 B.C. in Germany, bowling began in 300 A.D. German peasants carried a kegel (a type of club) for protection. In many churches, a parishioner would set up a kegel to represent a heathen. He rolled a stone and if he successfully knocked over the kegel, the heathen was free of sin. Eventually, when bowling made its way to the
United States in the late 1800s, a wooden bowl replaced the stone, and multiple pins replaced the kegel.
As the object of satire In movies like Kingpin and The Big Lebowski, bowling has had a tough time justifying itself as a legitimate sport.
"Bowlers don't produce a lot of sweat, do the 100-yard dash or dead-lift 500 pounds," Blasco says. "People don't really understand what it takes to become a player at a highly proficient level." While KU does boast an impressive bowling team, you don't have to be a pro to enjoy the sport. Zach Stephens, Leavenworth sophomore, says the best part about bowling is that it's recreational and competitive. "I can bowl with my friends, relax and goof around, or I can go with my brother and have fierce competition, betting and trash-talking," he says.
Besides fun and trash-talk, bowling has many social, physical and mental benefits. According to Blasco, healthy, conditioned bowlers can withstand greater amounts of stress, boost energy storage and delay the onset of fatigue.
Bowling also constitutes a workout. It can burn up to 300 calories an hour.
"Bowling allows a chance to firm and tone muscles, helping to stay trim and slim," Blasco says.
For some KU students, the best part about bowling is the social aspect.Jason Vaughan, Olathe freshman,says he likes bowling because you meet all kinds of people in bowling alleys and if you aren't into partying, it's fun on the weekend.
A night at the bowling alley is a win-win situation — it's cheap, it keeps you active and, if nothing else, it's fun.
OUT
THE ANATOMY OF A STRIKE
If all the factors of speed, axis tilt, axis rotation and proper entry angle predicated upon each style of bowler a perfect strike would happen something like this:
The ball would approach the 1-3 pocket at approximately six degrees, 60 feet away and upon impact with the 1 and 3 pins, the pins in the front row would domino into each other, meaning the 1 pin would hit the 2 pin and the 2 pin would hit the 4 pin and the 4 pin would hit the 7 pin, while the 3 pin hits the 6 pin and the 6 pin hits the 10 pin. The ball as it travels through the pocket area would hit the 5 pin, the 5 pin would take out the 8 pin and the ball would take out the 9 pin. On the perfect strike the ball only contacts four pins - the 1,3,5 and 9.

"Anyone can do it recreationally, and it's something you can do for the rest of your life; if you take it serious enough, you can make good money bowling amateur tournaments."

Reggae meets Orthodox Judaism
Matisyahu's tour of faith
The scene: a breezy Wednesday evening in Kansas City, Mo. Music fans from across the Midwest flock to the City of Fountains to enjoy a night of pure musical bliss. The venue is the Beaumont Club, in midtown Westport. The line of fans stretches for two blocks and the crowd becomes anxious with anticipation of the arrival of an eclectic reggae band known as Matisyahu.
Dutch
knowies madyahu
Matisyahu (Hebrew for Mathew), otherwise known as Mathew Miller, was born in Westchester, Penn. From the beginning of his music career, starting with his debut album Live at Stubb's, the young musician has continuously brought orthodox Judaism to the stage through intelligent lyrics and an amazing array of sounds. Matisyahu combines reggae with elements of rock and hip-hop. Band members include Matisyahu, vocals and beatbox; Jonah David, drums; Aaron Dugan, guitar; and Josh Werner, bass and keyboards. They create music packed with energy and soul.
"Lyrically, I wanted to expand on ideas that I touched upon on the first album, to get deeper into those things, to get to the essence," Matisyahu says in his bio. "Members of the band wrote the music together, different people brought different things to the table and everyone contributed creatively."
Along with the mixture of musical genres, Mattsyahu combines his music with spirituality. Mattsyahu's goal as a musician and as a person of faith is to voice his message "of peace and unity"
through his music and touch his fans through his lyrics. Songs such as "What I'm Fighting For," which consists of raw acoustic guitar melodies, and "Jesusalem,"which combines a vast array of banging drum and base beats, brings a diversity of sound, tempo and rhythm to the stage. The band is currently on tour across the United States.It's new album, Youth, was released March 7.
Kansas City's venues are notorious for hosting some of the most talented rock musicians, like Matisyahu, and country singers, DJs and MCs that are locally, nationally and internationally known. However, Lawrence also hosts a substantial amount of music events every week. Matisyahu hasn't come to Lawrence yet, but the Granada held a Matisyahu Listening Party last Thursday. I predict the band's influence, energy and positive vibes will continue to reach and inspire music fans the world over.

The top 50 musicians will be granted a Web page on www.mtvU.com with the ability to post music, lyrics and news. The mtvU audience will cast online for their favorite band, singer or rapper.
Ross Martin, vice president of programming
at mtvU, says he is currently working with the KU campus administrators on integrating the University into a mtvU."We know and have heard about a ton of bands in Kansas," Martin says."I'm absolutely psyched about this upcoming contest, and we're all huge fans of KU here at mtvU."
Martin elaborates by saying that when KU joins the mtVu family it will open up a tremendous amount of opportunities for new and fresh musicians in Kansas. So, lets make sure that Kansas and the rest of the Midwest continues to produce exceptional talent from local musicians. Rock on!

LIP BALM JUNKIE
Is the addiction fact or fiction?

Driving to Arkansas City last weekend, senior Courtney Colquhoun began to feel
the usual symptoms take over. First her lips were just dry but then the skin began to feel tight and her lips started to crack. When Colquhoun anxiously reached for her

lip balm, it was nowhere to be found.
To find out if you're truly addicted, take the 15-question quiz at http://quiz.ivillage.com/ health/tests/lipbalm. htm
Colquhoun is a self-diagnosed lip balm addict who swears by her Chapstick Lip Moisturizer SPF 15.
"I apply every 30 minutes," Colquhoun says. "I just can't live without it."
The debate over whether or not lip balm is actually addictive has been circulating for years, showing up in consumer magazine articles and on Internet sites such as lipbalmanonymous.com. Despite balm's popularity and "addicts" like Colquhoun, there is not yet proof that a physical dependency exists.
In order to call a lip balm obsession an addiction, there has to be physical dependency and an increasing need as well as withdrawal symptoms when use of the product stops, says Lawrence dermatologist Lee Bittenbender. As far as any doctors can tell, none of these exist with the soothing balm.
Other factors can imitate addiction symptoms, Bittenbender says. The lips
o sensitivities to s — preservatives
n lip balms — that can cause a symptom such as chapped lips to become persistent, he says. But he insists there is no physical addiction.
"The only addiction there couldbeperhaps a psychological addiction."

is most likely a result of the way yourlips are accustomed tofeeling while using lip balm. Your lips have natural moisturizers in them but if you use lip balm regularly, your lips feel drier without it, leading to a psychological need for balm.
While most dermatologists; refute the possibility of addiction, Lip Balm Anonymous
sympathizes with addicts. The Web site contains information about the so-called "Chapstick Conspiracy" as well as the "12 Steps and Testimony of Recovery." Though most of the content seems unreliable, it does include articles from The Chicago Tribune and a study from the University of Alabama claiming lip balm addiction
may actually exist. Although, ranked #327 in the book 505 Unbelievably Stupid Web Pages, the site shouldn't be taken too seriously.
"I have to be addicted, it's almost pathetic how much I am obsessed with my Chapstick," Colquhoun says.
Lip balm addicts can rest easy knowing this addiction is strictly psychological. But not all self-diagnosed addicts can be convinced so easily.
Whether it's a proven addiction or not, there are those like Colquhoun who will swear by their lip balms.

GRILLS GONE WILD
get grilled
KIT LEFFLER
Jayplay's Liz Nartowicz gives you the 411 on grills
Rapper Nelly's tribute song to mouth jewelry may have opened the eyes and mouths of nationwide listeners, but grills are hardly a new trend — even in the Midwest.
Rich with history, grills have re-emerged into the mainstream. This time, the gilded mouth guards have secured a spot in retail. Proving profitable to businesses and often costly to clients, grills are crossing boundaries and raising more questions than how long the fad will last.
Grills — known as fronts, plates, shines, pull outs and caps — first graced the mouths of the ancient Mayans, who rocked the flashy frONTS for reasons beyond fashion. Dental modification was a symbol of strength, status and devotion to deities, says Alicia Cardenas, cultural lion for the Association of Professional Piercers.
The association as a status symbol stayed with grills when the jewelry hit the East coast in the late '70s and early '80s. Rappers like Flavor Flav and LL Cool J dazzled the scene, making grills a hip-hop must-have. In the '90s, the Midwest began boasting bling.
"The KC area has always been saturated with grills," says Adrian Grey, KC Gold Fronts owner. "There's a large market here."
owner, there is a shop. And that market is growing. After KC Gold Fronts opened its doors in 1998, Diamonds & Diamonds, another grill store, opened in 2000. Both stores are located in Bannister Mall, 5600 E. Bannister Rd., Kansas City, Mo.
Kansas City, MN.
Topeka also will boast a shine shop as soon as this summer, says Marshall Banks, freelance grill maker. Banks currently works out his of Topeka home and says he's already done 15 grills this year.
The grill business isn't just booming in Kansas. Grills are going wild across the nation, especially on the Internet. Web sites such as mbbling.com and rapper Paul Wall's TVjohnny.net are popping up to cash in on the craze. The leading site for grills, gangstagold.com, gets more than 70,000 hits a month. And David Abrams, production manager for golditethusa.com says since Nelly's "Grillz" hit the radio, he's seen a 30 percent increase in business.
"I should write Nelly a thank-you note" he
says, "Thank God for that song."
While the average amount spent on a grill is about $200, according to ganstagold.com owner Christy Velez, Nelly's extravagant anthem has people springing for more. Instead of the classic 14-karat gold front that covers four teeth, people are now splurging for fanged, Jewel-encrusted or engraved caps that cover six teeth, both top and bottom.
To get his initials, a blue sapphire and 1.5 diamond set on his shines, Darryl Johnson, 21, shelled out an extra $150.
Abel Frederic, Ottawa University senior,
paid more than $1,200 for his eight-set, top
and bottom, 24K gold grill.
And the going rate for 22-year-old Michael Weber's full platinum set falls around $1,500.
Besides the increase in volume and cost, there's also been a change in clientele Abrams says. Caucasians, females and professionals have bought grills before, but more and more are springing for plates now, he says. Reasons for the crossover are more style-driven, says Kevin Coffey, fashion
assistant for hip-hop magazine XXL Kids are buying them without knowing what they represent, he says.
"I saw a kid checking out an AC/DC CD wearing a gold front," Coffey says. "He didn't know anything about grills. He said he only got one because of Nelly's song."
True to its beginnings, grills are more than just a fashion statement. Grills are signs of financial status, says Frederic, whose $1,200 set represents his success as a T-shirt entrepreneur. Wearing a grill isn't so much about having money as it is about earning that money, he says. Frederic's first grill was two gold caps, for which he scrimped and saved 560.
Grills also symbolize the hip-hop culture, says grill wearer Johnson.
says "It used to be a hood thing." Johnson says, "You could tell how hardcore someone was by it." He says that the fading of grills from a neighborhood-representing tradition takes away from hip-hop.
Johnson says he hopes the fad fades as such. But he doubts grills will ever be a thing of the past.

Why is it that random, thoroughly sautéed people show up to a party, uninvited, and raid the refrigerator? To these intoxicated fools, anything within reach is fair game, which includes food and beer. So, a word of advice to all party hosts: hide the beer and guard the refrigerator. And to the uninvited drunks, keep away from the fridge.

INVESTIGATION & RESEARCH
EXPLOITING THE BROADSIDE OF CRIME
AND LAWSIDE POLICE ACTION
Donna Hultine, director of the parking department, estimates fines only made up 20 percent of the department's $725,000 in revenue last year.
Every morning All Ladner parked her red 1997 Mustang convertible in the northwest corner of the third floor in the Kansas Union parking garage. The Silver Lake Junior fed the meter each time she parked, knowing she would go over the allotted time. More than once she returned to find a bright pink parking ticket on her windshield.
On a rainy day last fall, Ladner returned to find her usual spot empty. At first she panicked. Then she remembered her accrued parking tickets and realized her car had been towed from campus.
Often students' mentality on getting towed is similar to death
or STDs: they think it won't happen to them. Incidents like Ladder's, however, occur nearly every day on campus. During the 2004-2005 year, 76,977 tickets were issued on campus and A&M Towing, which contracts with
Students aren't helping their cause, however, when they display an uncanny inability to follow parking regulations.
the University, carried away 438 vehicles. Two hundred more have been towed since July 2005.
Despite these figures, the Parking Department maintains that you can go four years of college without getting towed, let alone getting a single ticket. Yet, the odds of this happening seem comparable to not getting harassed by a Senate candidate on Wescoe Beach in the spring. Those involved in the process, including students, KU parking department staff and tow truck operators, speak up on their behalf to give a better understanding of why towing happens and what each side thinks of the process.
Lost for space
Although the department has
added over 2,000 parking spaces in the last decade, constructing new buildings without considering parking solutions negates the department's attempted progress. The department manages 13,573 parking spaces in 99 lots, roadway parking areas and two parking garages. These spaces serve a campus population of approximately 30,200, including just over 25,500 students.
Limited parking spaces might not present such a fiasco if so many students didn't bring their cars to campus, the department says. Fat chance.To wit, a report compiled for the department last year on current parking conditions at the
University says "with less than 9,000 commuter permits issued versus a total commuter population of approximately 24,500 students, it would follow that a number of tickets would be issued for vehicles failing to display a parking permit."
Students aren't helping their cause, however, when they display an uncanny inability
to follow parking regulations. top offenses include "No Valid Permit," the most frequently cited violation at 38 percent of annual issuance, and parking at an expired meter, which accounts for 35 percent of tickets every year. Whether students don't want to walk up the hill, are running late or just want to park for only a few minutes, the excuses do not matter to the department if they park illegally.
Time crunch
Tristan Houghton, Shawnee senior, didn't buy a pass because she was on campus only a couple of days a week. She thought it would be economically sensible to pay a meter. Her plan didn't work out too well when she arrived late and had
to park at the Kansas Union garage because it was nearby. Because of her chronically late nature, she was towed. It happened last semester on the last day of finals. She parked in the Kansas Union parking garage without a permit, but paid the meter. After she finished her last test, she entered the garage but could not locate her teal 1994 Toyota Celica TT.
"I went from being so exhilarated from just finishing everything with school to being crushed, all in a matter of 30 seconds," she says.
Houghton says she wishes a 15 minute leeway was given for people who put money in the meter but were late getting back to their cars. Unfortunately, such things don't exist.
Alan Bloomquist, Ellensburg, Wash., junior, works as a meter monitor for the parking department. Bloomquist says nothing is more frustrating than when he hears. "I've only been parked for a few minutes."
TEN WORST LOTS BY NUMBER OF TICKETS ISSUED
These lots ranged from 25 to 100 percent of cars with tickets, but most ended up somewhere in the middle.
1) Kansas Union Parking Garage
6) Lot 107 - Near Scholarship Halls
2) Lot 129 - Behind Eaton Hall
3) Lot 35 - Near the Multicultural Resource Center

"How am I supposed to know how long they've been parked? I have no way of speculating what they've been doing or how long they've been there," he says.

"People think were wielding our power or trying to screw people over. Really, I don't care one way or another," Bloomquist says. "Usually I let them go unless the ticket has
Students behaving badly
Justin McAuley, Lawrence senior,
owed $250 worth of outstanding
tickets, yet he was nonplussed to find
his silver 2001 Audi S4 missing from
the Student Recreational Fitness
Center parking lot a few weeks ago.
While walking through the parking
lot, the meter monitor asked McAuley if the Audi was his car and told him it had been towed.
"At this point I was pretty angry so I responded to him sarcastically, 'Thanks for towing my car, buddy.' The meter guy then responded to me, 'No problem, I enjoyed doing so.'
McAuley then got in a verbal argument with the meter monitor. He says he understands it was his fault and his responsibility, but that he didn't appreciate the rudeness from the parking department members, even though he did "bitch" at them.
There is a lot more the department can do to help when people act civil, says Sarah Cook, administrative specialist with the department. Cook works in the office and says while most people are easy to work with, there are exceptions.
"I know we're not people's favorite department," Cook says. "But students choose to park illegally and that's not our fault."
Fine by me
Donna Hultine, director of the KU parking department, says the department prefers that student-
pay off tickets before a tow truck becomes necessary. They can avoid the whole ordeal by setting up a payment plan for accumulated tickets. The plan involves incremental payments and a stipulation that the student can't get another ticket until the full amount is paid.
13
Many students are accustomed to regular bills for tickets. "There are people who come in once a month and act like it's a part of going to school," Hultine says. "They definitely know the drill."
Alex Benson, Salina senior, admits getting a ticket is a waste of hard-earned money. Just last week, Benson paid off $120 in parking tickets. But his apathy was no match for monetary value. He says he tries to be diligent about where he parks on campus to avoid a ticket, but once he gets the first one, there's no turning back.
"After that I just stop caring and I figure I'll just run up a tab and pay it off at the end of the semester." Benson says. "I figure I've paid about $500 to the parking department during my time here."
That money goes to the department, an entirely self-supporting entity that earns money through parking passes and tickets. The money goes toward parking lot maintenance and construction. Hultine estimates the department will bring in a gross revenue of $4,847,000 for the 2005-2006 fiscal year, with nearly half coming from permit sales. Fines only make up 20 percent of the department's revenue, bringing $725,000 to the department last year.

The dismal parking situation, combined with students' inability to follow parking rules, creates a veritable Petri dish for tows from campus.
The department normally doesn't tow until someone first accrues parking tickets totaling $100 or more, Hultine says. Although a person with three tickets can be towed, the tickets have to be more than 10 business days old, she says. A tow can cost
$125 to $200 or more, not including the tow company fee, because you have to pay off tickets and a $50 excessive violator fee to the department. The fee exists as both a deterrent and as a means of compensating the staff's time for coordinating the tow, Hultline says.

For the past six years, Andy Moon and his wife, Michelle, have owned and operated A&M Towing, which stands for Andy and Michelle. Andy
is a man with a cheerful personality, grease under his fingernails and a love of what he does. Normally, hooking up
a vehicle to a wrecker takes only five to ten minutes for tow truck drivers, but for Andy, it takes even less time. A well-practiced professional, he expertly maneuvers around any vehicle, adeptly hooking safety chains around the tires to his tow truck, or wrecker, and placing tow lights on the rear with precision.
Every once in a while, an owner will catch him in the act, Moon says. At this point the owner can get the car released for half the price of the tow, but it's at the tow truck driver's discretion. Andy has 20 years of experience in the towing industry and has seen and heard just about everything. He says women react in four stages. First, they cry. Second, they try hitting on him. Third, they go angry and cuss him out. Finally they accept and pay.
Andy Moon, and his wife Michelle, have owned and operated A&M Towing for six years. The University contractually requires A&M Towing to only charge students $30 for towing, keeping costs minimal for cash-strapped students.
"People think we're the bad guys. I mean, I feel bad taking someone's car, but I'm not the one who got those tickets," Moon says.

In its contract with A&M Towing, the parking department requires that the company charge only $30 for towing from campus and no storage fees for the first two days. Afterwards, it is $5 a day. A&M Towing normally charges $125 for tows from private property and $30 a day for storage. Other companies charge
Keeping it real
between $80 and $125 to tow from a private property and include a $20 to $30 daily fee to store cars.
"There's some pretty high towing costs out there. We try to keep it at $30 so we don't add insult to injury, it's probably the best for students," Hultine says.
In actuality, what's best for students is adopting a realistic outlook on the parking situation at the University. There may not be a lot of spaces available, but that's a fact and something they have to deal with.
Houghton thought she had learned her lesson. But just last week she found herself running late again to her 9 a.m. class. She rationalized that because the class was only 50 minutes long, the department couldn't get a tow truck that fast. She was wrong.
was wrong.
She says she doesn't harbor any ill will toward the department or A&M Towing.
"I just wish I could stop running late," Houghton says.

Can the Internet make a match?
by Stefanie Graves
Last fall, Ryan, a Lawrence senior, did something he had never done before: he agreed to go to dinner with a woman he'd never met. Ryan was breaking the norm and using an Internet dating service to meet local singles his age.
He is not alone. The latest Nielson
NetRatings report estimates nearly 20 million people visited an online dating site just in the week of January 9, 2005, according to www. chiff.com, a Web site devoted to Internet dating statistics. With some dating sites boasting an average user age of 21, a record number of young adults are finding
interests, hobbies and the type of person he was looking for, he was able to search for women matching his profile selections.
INTERNET DATING SITES SPECIALIZING IN COLLEGE SINGES
friendship and love on the Web.
Within a few days, Ryan had been contacted (or "winked" at) by five women through his personal e-mail account.
→www.CollegeLux.com
→www.CollegeDate.com
→www.StudentDate.com
→www.CollegeFishing.com
→www.esinglemingle.com
Ryan says he decided to try a dating service because he was tired of meeting women at bars. "I was looking for a serious relationship and I wanted to meet someone who was looking for the same thing, but not drunk," he says.
The site Ryan chose, www.match.com, charged him a user fee of $15 for a one-month membership. After paying the fee and filling out a questionnaire that asked personal questions about
He soon began conversing with a woman named Crystal on a regular basis." We talked for a couple of weeks through instant messenger and e-mail," he says. Finally, they exchanged phone numbers and Ryan called to ask her on a date.
Although he was excited to meet Crystal in person, Ryan
suggested they meet in public at the restaurant. "She seemed nice, but I didn't really know her," he recalls.
Ryan's intuition was probably correct. Too often Internet users forget that going on a date with someone they've never met in person can be dangerous, warns Merav Knafo, founder of the college dating service www.CollegeFishing.com. Students think because they'll be in a public place or they've been talking to someone on
Knafo says Internet daters should never expose information that could help a stranger locate them, like a last name or the name of a dorm. Daters also should wait to reveal e-mail addresses and phone numbers until they feel safe. If you decide to meet someone in person, Knafo suggests that you tell a friend where you'll be and when they can expect you home.
the phone, they're safe.
"The week after their first meeting, Crystal called and asked Ryan on another date. The two went on several dates over the next two months, but Ryan felt that they didn't have a real connection." I was looking for more and I knew I wouldn't have it with her," he says.
Ryan says that Crystal didn't get the hint. She "called constantly and left phone messages, e-mails and instant messaged me." Over the next few weeks, Crystal left nearly 100 messages on his phone and through e-mails, he says.
While Internet dating may not be foolproof, some students do successfully start romantic relationships with someone they've met online. Christy, a Wamego sophomore in theatre design, met her former boyfriend on www.MySpace.com. When Christy put her profile and picture on MySpace last year,

Usability: ***
Free, which is rare among Internet dating sites.
Fairly easy, but it took an hour to complete my profile information. Cost:****
Members:*
Um... a little scary. Most of the singles that matched my compatibility profile didn't have pictures posted (who wants to talk to someone they can't see?) Those who did have pictures posted were the type of guys I'd hate to meet in a dark alley, late at night. And there were only six members matching my profile who live within 50 miles of Lawrence.
Overall Rating: ***
Stay away, unless you're feeling extra brave.

Usability:**
Cost:**
It took for-e-ver to register. Once you've registered, though, things go a little more smoothly.
You can post a profile for free,but the site makes you ante up before you can talk to any potential suitors.
Members: ***
Generally older and looking for serious commitments.
Overall Rating: **
It boasts that it has more marriages per match than any other dating site on the Web. If you want to find a spouse, like tomorrow, give it a try. Otherwise, steer clear.
www.match.com
Usability: ****
Easy. You can initiate a search without having to fill out a bunch of obligatory information and you can limit your search by age, distance, education or a number of other characteristics.
Cost: ***
The site offers a free 72-hour trial;
after that you have to fork over the cash.

Very impressive, but there weren't a lot of singles living close to Lawrence.

WHY DOGUYS LIE ABOUT HAVING SEVERAL SEX PARTNERS? - SILVIA, JUNIOR
Jessica: You can thank the machismo complex
for this age-old lie, Silvia. Men tend to embellish their sexual escapades for the sole sake of appearing more "masculine" and "experienced," because obviously, all women want a man who's had more girls than tickets from KU's parking department. This means he must really know what he's doing! In reality, the ones who overrate their number are doing so because they read the wrong manual to understanding women; most women don't want a guy who knows how to pleasure every female on the face of the earth; we want a guy who's willing to give us his all. So, to all you guys who like to embellish ... Quit. Besides, who wants a liar? Honesty's sexy... and less likely to give you crabs.
Brian: We lie because most of the women who are actually out trying to find sex don't want some guy who's only had sex with one or two women. She wants a man who's had thousands of orgasms with hundreds of women. She wants experience, endurance and creativity. That isn't expected from a rookie. Therefore, we lie. When guys are looking for someone to take home, they aren't trying to be as honest as possible; they're trying for the hottest girl possible. Who cares if we never see her again? Then next time we can add one more girl to our total, and we're technically not lying.

GIRLFRIEND. I MAKE HER SLEEP ON
THE COUCH. HOW DO I FIX THIS?
— BRYCE, SENIOR
Jessica:The only way to 'fax' this problem is to get used to her sleeping next to you... tool. I don't see why she puts up with sleeping on the couch or an insensitive jerk like yourself.
Brian: First off, I must commend you on having the balls to even consider telling your girlfriend to sleep on the couch. That's a very dangerous thing you did, and men will worship you for centuries to come. Since most men won't do that, or actually like sleeping with their girlfriend, here are a few suggestions. Get a bigger bed. Trade that double in for a queen, queen in for a king. If the problem is that one of you takes up too much space, try turning down the temp to make her curl up, or push her to work out with you so you both take up less room. Couples get the idea in their head that you HAVE to be cuddling in bed for it to be enjoyable. But, what could be more enjoyable than seeing her lovely face in the morning after you haven't been smothered by her all night?
INTERNET DATING CONTINUED FROM PAGE 17
she was just looking for a way to meet new friends. When an attractive man sent her a message saying that he liked her picture, she responded.
Two weeks later, the two met in person for the first time and began dating. "It kind of just happened. I never thought I'd date someone I met on the Internet." Christy says. The couple dated for two months before deciding that they were better off as friends.
Christy still talks to her ex-boyfriend once a week and visits him whenever she can.
"I feel kind of ridiculous now, but I met a really great guy, so it wound up being good," she says. "If we had lived in the same place, we'd probably
still be together."
Even if you don't find a long-term romantic partner through an Internet dating site, it can be a great way for busy students to "date hunt," says Bev Bacon, author of Meet Me... Don't Delete Me,a guide to Internet dating. You may meet a new friend or make plans for Saturday night that you wouldn't have had otherwise, she says.
Even though his first experience wasn't what he'd hoped, Ryan admits that he would be willing to try an Internet dating service again in the future. He says, "I think it can be effective. There are crazy people out there, but it is possible to meet people in non-traditional ways."

SONIC RIDERS
Chris Bower
GAME
Though I maintain that no Sonic character should be riding in any kind of vehicle, Sonic on a hoverboard does seem to fit his mentality. However, this game doesn't fall under regular Sonic games. This is more of a racing game.
The tracks are extremely difficult to race and become even harder to complete because you are required to finish in first place to advance in the story. It will take a few practice runs and some starting over to get the hang of it. Sonic Riders requires fast reaction time. A missed speed advantage or a fall off a track could mean disaster.
Racing on the hoverboards (called Extreme Gears) takes a lot of strategy. The Gears run on air and must be replenished or they stop working. It becomes a chore to have to watch where you are going on the track as well as making sure that your air meter has enough air to get you to the next air station.
However, Sonic's penchant for always looking cool comes in big — you can perform midair tricks to get more air.
The main trouble I have with the game is the voice acting. The cut scenes could have been put together better. A friend of mine pointed out that the voice of Jet the Hawk, a green hawk character, seems to be a mix of a pigeon and a '20s gangster with his squawking voice and with his "MRAWGHI" after nearly every sentence.
GAMERUCIE
The game is frustrating, but still is fun to play. The multiplayer function is entertaining. The game also has some replay value since you can collect rings and purchase new Extreme Gears. Also, if you want to see more of your favorite characters, you will have to beat the story at least once. That was my main reason for not slamming my controller down in frustration and giving up altogether. Sonic Riders
SONIC RIDERS
is an intense racing game that will take some getting used to.

Dave Chappelle's Block Party
I never watched The Chappelle Show. Not because of any beef with the concept or the man, but because of mere circumstance. My knowledge of comedian Dave Chappelle was restricted to the little-known film 200 Cigarettes, in which he played a cab driver, and recognizing him as Tom Hanks's best friend in You've Got Mail. I may not have seen his best work but I knew he was damn funny. So when I heard about Dave Chappelle's Block Party, I was intrigued.
In Dave Chappelle's Block Party, Chappelle gathers some of his famous friends — Mos Def, Kanye West and The Roots among them — and throws a block party
in Brooklyn for anyone and everyone.The film chronicles Chappelle as he organizes the show and invites everyone from little old white ladies to the entire Central State University marching band.The film also shows exclusive performances from West, including a rendition of "Jesus Walks" accompanied by the CSU marching band.It took all my strength not to get up and dance in the middle of the theater.The Fugees also reune for "Killing Me Softly."You forget how amazing Lauryn Hill is since she's been MIA for so long.
The film is best when it centers on Chappelle. I like watching musicians perform as much as the next guy, but that's why we have music videos.
Michel Gondry, director of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and many music videos, directs the film.
The documentary style follows in the vein of This Is Spinal Tap with oneliners and quick cuts.
Now, what larger purpose the film serves, I have no idea. It attempts to comment on politics, race and poverty but quickly turns into "watch Dave play with the kids" or "watch Dave in his hometown of Dayton, Ohio." It's all hilarious, but it's obvious this is just a vehicle for Chappelle to break away from his show. Even so, compared to
some of the other films out right now (ahem, Ultraviolet) its nice to see something new and genuinely funny.

16 Blocks
MOVIE
VENICE
16 Blocks begins as an unoriginal "good cop-bad cop" drama. Surprisingly and satisfyingly, it evolves into a poignant story of redemption with well-rounded and empathetic characters. Despite the cardboard beginning, it was refreshing to see minimal bloodshed in a film that is filled with bullets and handguns.
Bruce Willis plays Jack Mosely, a passionless and alcoholic New York cop. Rapper Mos Def plays Eddie Bunker, a petty criminal who is a key witness in an ongoing trial. Mosely has to get Bunker to the courthouse (16 blocks away) on time while being trailed by Mosely's shady partner, who wants Bunker dead. The film shifts from Mosely and his ex-partner's individual vendetta to a game of cat and mouse and then finally to a hostage situation. Willis delivers a dependable performance, giving Mosely a believable weathered
and jaded mindset. But from the beginning, Mos Def steals the show. He emits a refreshing charisma, comedic timing and believable sympathy; easily proving he can do it all. David Morse is also convincing as Mosely's lawless ex-partner.

SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG
It looks like a sonic the Hedgehog game. It feels like a Sonic the Hedgehog game. But why does the main character have a gun? I had high hopes for Shadow in his first starring role, but Shadow the Hedgehog doesn't stack up to what I thought it would be.
The idea of the game is good. You assume the role of Shadow and try to uncover the secrets to his past. You are equipped with the familiar
The handwritten text on the cover of the book is:

Wait, looking at the image again, it looks like a picture or a photo. The text is written in black ink.
Let me re-read the top line. It says "The handwritten text on the cover of the book."
Yes, that's correct.
Okay, I'm ready to write my own response.
One last check on the title. It's "Innocent by Katherine Johnson." I see the word "innocent" followed by the name "Katherine Johnson." That's correct.
Final check of the text:

mechanics that made other Sonic the Hedgehog, games great, but the added features make it annoying at times. Trying to complete certain paths becomes a chore, such as trying to destroy a certain type of enemy or collecting items. These options for the missions are always open and become irritating when you have to listen to characters telling you what to do.
The weapon and vehicle option is perhaps the most confusing. For one, Shadow's body should be the only weapon at the player's disposal, but trying to use weapons like a-9 mm and a sword to destroy enemies is awkward. Never should Shadow or any other Sonic character have to pick up a weapon. Also, the purpose of a Sonic game is to blast through the level at breakneck speed. The characters always boast that they are
super-fast creatures, so why must they jump in a Jeep and roll through a stage? Also, it seems this game doesn't want players to move as fast, because they will end up missing things that are crucial for completing missions and have to backtrack (which should NEVER happen in a Sonic game).
Shadow the Hedgehog does not play like a standard Sonic game, and it's a shame. I hope that they don't scrap Shadow as a character just because this game doesn't play as well as other titles. He's a great character and hopefully hell get his act together in the future.

SPEAK
LIFE AFTER DEATH
I am sorry to be unable to provide a biography. I can only provide information on the person's appearance and general background.
Growing up without a mom by Malinda Osborne
On November 4, 1985,
less than two years after I was born, my mom had her first seizure. After putting my sister and I in our play crib, she called my Dad and then an ambulance. She was later diagnosed with a brain tumor. She lost her hair from the radiation and continued to have seizures for the next three years. She died when she was 37, married, with three daughters (all younger than 11) and our family was building a new house.
When people find out my mom passed away, one of the first questions they ask
is "What's it like not having a mother?" It's like asking me what it's like to be female — I don't know any differently, and it's hard to explain.
I don't have many memories of her. I remember what she looks like mostly from pictures. Looking at them is always odd because it's like seeing a stranger who looks exactly like me — dark curly hair framing a pale-complected face with piercing blue eyes and a raffish smile. Most of what I know of her comes from stories people tell me. Each one is like a puzzle piece
Sarah C. Morrison
that creates a picture of what her personality was like.
Through these stories, my mother became a mythic figure in my childhood. Most stories were about her kindness and benevolence, like the time she bought new clothes for some neighborhood children whose apartment burned down or when she volunteered at a cancer survivor center after she was diagnosed.
When I got older I began to yearn for stories that made her seem like an actual person — someone who made mistakes and got in trouble. For a while I felt guilty for feeling this way; living up to her legacy was difficult, and I guess I just wanted to make it easier on myself.
When I allow myself to think about it, I'm almost shocked that someone who is supposed to be so integral to my life isn't there, and yet life goes on. People talk about their moms taking care of them when they're sick or telling them not to worry so much. I listen with curiosity, wondering what it would be like to have a doting parental figure.
Don't get me wrong — I love my Dad tremendously and he did a great job raising us. However, he definitely lacks maternal instincts. For instance, whenever any of us got sick with anything from the flu to food poisoning, he always suggested gargling warm salt water as the remedy. His idea of comforting us during stressful times involved the words "buck up" and a pat on the back.
Again, this is not to say
My mom attended Kansas
State University after
transferring from the University of
Kansas. I still love her, though.
1970
Sitting in my mom's lap during a visit to her mother's. I was four years old.
I was deprived of any love or affection growing up. Every member of my family was constantly loving and affectionate. My dad worked out in the morning and returned before 6 a.m. just so he could help us get ready for school. My sisters did everything from helping dress me (which explains the body suits and bulky sweaters I wore from kindergarten to third grade) to taking me on college visits in high school. My grandparents drove me everywhere and watched more than their fair share of painfully long dance recitals and soccer games.
It's now been 18 years since my mother's death and our family is doing fine. Actually, in the past year my dad got remarried, one sister got engaged and the other received her master's degree. I know my mom would be happy for all us. She wouldn't want us to stop enjoying our own lives and commiserate the loss of hers. She wanted to make us happy, and she still does, every time we think about her.

Tenants bill criticized
BY FRED A. DAVIS III
fidavis@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Opponents of a tenant's rights bill initiated by the KU Student Senate were in full attack mode Thursday at a House Committee hearing on the bill. The bill would standardize automatic renewal clauses in leases.
The legislation was debated for nearly 90 minutes as landlords and landlord groups both railed against and praised the Student Legislative Awareness
Board (SLAB) director Josh Bender for his efforts.
"Josh Bender is doing a great job," said Ed Jaskinia, testifying against the bill on behalf of the Associated Landlords of Kansas, "but he should get involved with something constructive and not destructive."
The main goals of the bill, as Bender, Sterling senior, described them, were to not only standardize automatic renewal clauses in leases, but also to eliminate predetermined lists that indicate what charges await tenants should they incur damages to their residence.
The bill would have a statewide effect on all landlords if adopted and supported by other Regents institutions, such as Kansas State and Pittsburg State. Bender said.
The bill already passed through the Senate 23-17, and now must make its way out of the committee.
Bender, who testified in support of the bill, and Ian Staples, SLAB coordinator, who was present at the hearing, said that three to four times more opponents of the legislation were present at the House Commerce and Labor Committee hearing than when
bill went through the Kansas
ate Judiciary Committee.
Roughly 20 opponents of the bill — composed mostly of landlords and landlord groups — attended the hearing.
One of those opponents was Matt Hoy, a lawyer for the Lawrence Apartments Association, which represents some 20 landlords in the Lawrence area. Hoy testified before the committee that his group was disappointed that they were not contacted by Bender to help with the bill.

School House Rock Professor knows how to jam
BY CATHERINE ODSON codson@kansan.com KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Summer doesn't seem like the right word to describe the 10 below zero temperatures Dave Besson encountered during the South Pole's "summer" season.
Sheltered from the frigid temperatures and snowy ground inside Amundsen-Scott Base, the 48-year-old professor of physics grabbed one of 10 guitars provided by the National Science Foundation in the base's arts
and crafts room. He was taking an indoor break from his outdoor research project in Antarctica during winter break.
"The National Science Foundation provides for good, wholesome, clean American fun," Besson said of the small room, about the size of a Malott Hall physics lab, nestled within the base's main building, equipped with the guitars, amplifiers and a drum kit.
In Antarctica, Besson pounded out tunes from his Kansas City-area band with the help of the
band's drummer, Michael Haines, Bentonville, Ark., senior, and one of Besson's research assistants. The music echoed through the halls of the base, but no one complained about the classic rock melodies.
Besson's strong background in research, both in the United States and Antarctica, paired with a laid-back approach to teaching, makes him a favorite among students. Outside of the classroom, he immerses himself!

He will appear on the show today on NBC Channel 27 at 2:30 p.m. and NBC Channel 41 at 4 p.m.

Lent celebrations require discipline from KU Christians
BY ANNE WELTMER
aweltner@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
A week after KU students celebrated Mardi Gras with excessive drinking and colorful beads, Christian KU students are delving into one of the most important religious seasons of the Christian calendar: Lent.
Lent is the 40-day period, excluding Sundays, before Easter. Jenny Wilson, a Roman Catholic sophomore from Alma, said she gave up fast food for Lent. She said fast food was hard to avoid as an on-the-go student, but she finds ways, like eating a salad at the Underground instead of Chick-Fil-A.
"It's through that sacrifice that helps me grow." she said.
Some people who give up something for Lent do it only Monday through Saturday for the 40 days, but Wilson said Christ didn't take a break on Sundays, so she doesn't either.
Wilson thinks that coming to the University helped her "blossom" as a Catholic. In her hometown, there were almost no Catholics and she was an outcast, she said. When she came to the University, she found support with the 7,000 to 8,000 other Catholic students on campus, especially those who were involved at the St. Lawrence Catholic Center as she is.
Of those students, about one-third come to mass regularly, and about one-sixth get deeply involved in Catholic activities such as Bible studies and group meetings through St. Lawrence, Troy Hinkel, director of theological studies, said.
He said it's not just during Lent that Catholic students were challenged to balance their faith and their education. Students have a hard time being away from home for the first time without someone
"t's through that sacrifice that helps me grow."

telling them to go to church and get involved, he said.
Those who do "recognize they are created for something deeper," Hinkel said. Those students use Lent to wipe the slate clean. Many students give up chocolate or drinking, and he said those were good sacrifices as long as the student purified their intention from possibly losing weight — if that's their motive — to living a more balanced, and therefore closer-to-God life.
Andrew Farina, a Pentacostal senior from Warren, Mich., said he gave up all computer usage besides necessary schoolwork last year. He said he replaced the time he spent playing computer games and surfing the Web with praying and getting more involved with church.
Farina said he thought most KU students had a harder time in college keeping their Lent promises because they didn't have their family or someone to hold them accountable and be supportive. He said if he were to give up dessert, at home, his family wouldn't offer any to him, but being alone on campus, he saw it all the time and thought students would have a harder time resisting.
Reverend Thad Holcombe of Ecumenical Christian Ministries said every denomination celebrates Lent differently, but all Christian students face the same challenge of juggling the University's schedule with the Christian calender.

Knight Ridder sale close to completion
MEDIA

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Final bids were coming due for Knight Ridder Inc. Thursday, the end of a process that could not only determine the future of the No. 2 newspaper publisher in the country but also provide an important read on investor sentiment toward the industry.
The San Jose, Calif.-based company is keeping quiet about
the sale process, but the interested parties are known to include The McClatchy Co., publisher of The Sacramento Bee and other newspapers; industry leader Gannett Co. as well as MediaNews Group Inc., a privately held company based in Denver.
At stake is the ownership of 32 newspapers throughout the country, including The Kansas City Star, The Philadelphia Inquirer and the Miami Herald. Knight Ridder

With Knight Ridder's stock trading in the low-$60 range recently, investors are not expecting a ferocious bidding war for the company. Merrill Lynch analyst Lauren Rich Fine wrote in a note to investors that if birds come in at the expected range of mid-$60s per share, it would be
"unlikely to excite investors."
Many investors will be looking to what price, if any, Knight Ridder may choose, to sell itself at to gauge investors' outlook on the newspaper industry, which has been large-

Profile
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
in the world of '60s and '70s rock — including being a former member of a band that was mentioned in Rolling Stone, the definitive magazine of rock 'n' roll.
In the classroom, Besson doesn't share his musical endeavors. He introduces himself and the course and hopes students won't ask questions about his personal life. Shawn Henderson, Wichita senior and one of Besson's research assistants, said the only time Besson mentioned his band in the lab was in generic discussions of weekend plans.
"It's not for show," Henderson said. "He just loves to play."
Particle Bashing
Besson's primary physics research involves watching particles explode. To do this, he uses particle accelerators — giant hollow doughnuts built underground for research. In the lab, Besson and his fellow researchers supercharge particles — sling them around—and wait to see what happens. In Antarctica, Besson collides the charged particles with ice molecules, hoping for the same effect.
Besson said it was "the nerd version of bashing in your TV set."
The artificial explosions imitate the same particle physics involved in large explosions, such as those of supernova stars. By understanding manmade explosions, Besson said, larger explosions become easier to comprehend. No matter the size of the explosion, it's all the same basic physics, he said.
At the South Pole, Besson usually skipped lunch to get more time for his research in the freezing outdoors. The walk to the base's cafeteria totaled more than a mile of travel on snow-packed roads and would have detracted from the work Besson was intent on finishing. The two weeks of hands-on research were barely enough to conduct the experiments Besson spent one full year preparing for.
Antarctica presents researchers with a unique laboratory environment because of its unspoiled surface. Over time, deposits of snow, volcanic ash and dust from events in Earth's history settled on the surface of the continent. They created a pristine climatological record that was made before industrial pollutants tainted the surface of other areas.
Antarctica shares with the surfaces of some moons of Jupiter the unique characteristic of being a floating ice cap, Besson said. Scientists suspect life under ice caps on the moons and Antarctica, making research on the continent particularly important.
Armed with research results from the South Pole and the particle accelerator at Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y., Besson hopes to create a neutrino telescope. That telescope
would enhance scientists' vision into space by allowing researchers to view neutrinos — subatomic particles that are emitted from space phenomena such as supernova explosions. Because of the telescope, scientists could explore parts of space that were formerly invisible.
A passion for physics
Regardless of Besson's impressive physics-filled resumé, becoming a physicist was not his lifelong dream.
"It wasn't like when I was a kid, I looked up in the sky and wanted to be a physicist," he said.
His mother, Gwen Besson, said physics was a logical outgrowth of Besson's studious high school years in New Jersey. Besson said he studied physics because he had to do something.
Now he sits in front of his computer, dressed in worm-down sweatshirts and an old Cornell University T-shirt, and "ponders the universe."
Besson is one of the first in and last people out of Malott Hall every day, "just because he loves his work," Henderson said. "He has a real passion for his work. It's kind of infective."
Henderson said one thing Besson did to stand out from other teachers and connect with his students was his invention of the "paper clicker."
Instead of requiring students to buy expensive computerized remotes for in-class quizzes and polls, Besson created a low-budget version from pieces of cardboard labeled with multiple-choice answers. Students cover either A, B, C or D, on the cardboard depending on what they think is the correct answer and hold their individual card up. Besson can evaluate his class's comprehension from its answers.
"It's simplistic," Besson said,
"but it works."
Hannah Swift, Olathe senior, said Besson's ability to break down complex concepts convinced her to work with him in the high-particle physics lab.
"He explains physical things in a very intuitive way," Swift said. "You get a sense of what's going on behind the math."
15 minutes of fame
Before joining the KU faculty in 1993, Besson worked as a post-doctoral researcher at Cornell. While there, Besson formed a band with two other physicists, including Chris O'Grady.
O'Grady, now a researcher at Stanford University, said he met Besson after hearing the music of '80s punk/pop band Husker Do coming from an office in the physics building where the two worked. The blaring music, he said, convinced him to stop and see who was behind the closed door.
"Most of the time you just walk down the hallway and it's just boring physicists working in their offices." O'Grady said.
gether and eventually added a third member, Brian Moeckly, another budding physicist.
The trio named their band after Moeckly's girlfriend and her particularly memorable dress. The band, Shannon's Dress, began performing around the state of New York and in historic location's like CDGB's in New York City, what Besson's mother called the "Mecca of rock music."
After they recorded their first album, "Lurch." Rolling Stone magazine requested a CD. The magazine mentioned Shannon's Dress as a top unsigned band. After that brief moment of fame, the band quickly fell back into obscurity, Besson said.
"Fortunately," Besson said, "it was immortalized in newsprint."
The two started playing to-
"You have to constantly reinvent yourself creatively," Besson said. "When you're not doing that, things get sterile pretty quickly."
The Noble Quitters
Dressed in the same red Cornell T-shirt layered over a sweatshirt, a stocking cap, jeans and Adidas sneakers. Besson almost blended in with the red walls of The Cup and Saucer, the small Kansas City,
Mo., coffee shop where his band performed recently.
Half-jokingly, he warned the crowd to finish its conversations because noise was forthcoming. The twenty-some people inside the room laughed, but quickly chatted with the other people around them as the developing guitar licks grew louder. Before long, the conversations faded away under the thunderous guitars and drums — "loud, distorted guitars," Besson calls it. The Noble Quitters sound a bit like the classic rock bands of the late '60s, including The Velvet Underground, who Besson said inspired him to play guitar.
"Not many people listened to them, but everyone that did started a band." he said.
Back in Lawrence, Besson sits in his Malott Hall office surrounded by CDs and pairs of running shoes. During his eighth research trip to Antarctica, the National Science Foundation informed Besson that a mountain spur in Antarctica had been named in his honor — the Besson Spur. He received the news during his most recent trip to the South Pole, but was not sure why that particular feature was named after him.
Even with the honor, some geographical features are better than others, he said, despite never seeing so much as a picture of the rock.
"Given a choice," he said, "I would have preferred a volcano."

and that's not the case," Hoy said.
"What concerns me most about this bill is that it's being represented to legislative bodies as a collective effort
Hoy added that his group would be "ready and willing to help craft legislation" locally to help eradicate problems such as abusive landlords.
Alicia Smiley, a First Management property manager for 13 years, said she plays the role of the middle man, dealing with both landlords and tenants.
Smiley advocated that students should take time to read their leases, and if they don't agree, they should choose another lease.
"There's a 6 to 7 percent vacancy rate in Lawrence, so there's options," Smiley said.
Despite the nearly 60-minute barrage of testimony against their bill, Bender and Staples remained optimistic after the hearing was over.
"We've been underestimated since this bill was in the Senate Judiciary Committee," Staples, Lawrence junior, said.
The future of the bill remains murkv.
as it is unclear what the Commerce and Labor Committee will do with it.
Bender said he thought the bill might not be acted upon this session and was somewhat surprised it had a hearing in the first place.
Either way, Bender likes the bill's overall chances.
"We've got four pages of rebuttal to look at, so we'll see what all was said and take a look at the issues, because the opponents didn't address the issues in the bill," Bender said. "The bill's good."

Lent
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Holcombe said some Protestant denominations celebrated Lent more than others, but in the past 40 years, the trend of bringing Lent back into the Protestant church has been rising. Still, some Christians might not even know what Lent is, Holcombe said.
Holcombe said he didn't think it was necessary to give something up for Lent; he said the focus should be not on giving something up but on adding more
thought and prayer to your life to be closer to God.
He said many Protestant denominations didn't give up something for Lent like the Roman Catholic tradition, but they do use it as a time to focus on sin and forgiveness.
He said it's a time of repentance, where estranged members of the church come back to worship, and new members take classes to become members, sometimes with a focus on an Easter Baptism.

West Campus progress deserves more attention
Believe it or not, West Campus is good for more than just additional parking lots. There you will find buildings like Higuchi Biosciences Center, Youngberg Hall Center for Research and the Smissman Research Building. Any of these ring a bell? Didn't think so. Yet all of these institutions house cutting-edge research projects that will put the University of Kansas even further into the national spotlight.
Its eventual goal is to achieve a National Cancer Institute designation as a Comprehensive Cancer Center. Such a designation requires an institution to conduct programs in all three areas of research basic, clinical and prevention and control. So far, only 39 cancer centers throughout the nation meet the requirements.
Phrases such as "top-flight research park" and "research megacomplex" have been tossed around as descriptors for this 480-acre scientific theme park. And serving as Cinderella's cast to this scientific version of Disneyland is the recently dedicated Multidisciplinary Research Building, or the MRB. This three-story, 106,000-square foot study wonderland cost $40 million.
For example, did you know that the University conducts more than $36 million in cancer research? The KU Cancer Team, housed in the Higuchi Biosciences Center, is pursuing ambitious goals such as determining causes of cancer, developing drugs with fewer side effects and new therapy techniques
Issue: University research and development west of Iowa Street
Stance: Students should familiarize themselves with West Campus.
Unfortunately, most undergraduates could care less. True, we are not directly involved with the activities happening on that side of campus. Nonetheless, students should take some time to familiarize themselves with news coming from West Campus to gain a greater understanding and appreciation for achievements made in research by the University. After all, their research is making a lot of our degrees much more valuable.
Obviously the University would not invest heavily in something unless it had a good reason, which it did. This building is being touted as a model research site for promoting collaboration and innovation. It is intended to house about 200 scientists from disciplines including chemistry, pharmaceuticals, geology and biosciences. This is only the beginning, though. Proposed plans for West Campus include the addition of a pharmacy building, said Kevin Boatright, director of research communications. He also said a third phase of construction has been confirmed for the Structural Biology Center.

Cartoon misrepresents illegal immigrants
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
I am writing to express the anger and disappointment I felt when I saw the cartoon about in-state tuition for "illegal residents" on Tuesday's opinion page.
While I respect the right of Kelli Sparks to present her opinion on this vital issue, I feel it was irresponsible journalism to present such a clearly biased cartoon on the day of the election that determined whether undocumented immigrants can receive in-state tuition in Kansas. Without any other articles or information on this controversial topic in Tuesday's paper, this cartoon delivered a powerful and uncontested message: Illegal immigrants don't deserve instate tuition.
Upon close examination, the cartoon promotes many negative stereotypes regarding undocumented immigrants. The white, presumably blond-haired American girl is portrayed as attractive and tragic. She has fulfilled her patriotic duty by working in the National Guard, and is now being penalized for it by being denied in-state tuition.
The "illegal resident," on the other hand, is portrayed as less attractive and ignorant. Her eyes look devious and her mouth is open in what seems to be anger. The only words she speaks are "No English," which suggests that since she does not
speak English, she does not have a side in the debate and does not deserve in-state tuition. Keep in mind that the proposition that would make in-state tuition possible for undocumented immigrants requires three years of study at a Kansas high school. I sincerely doubt that the only words that one would learn in those three years are "No English."
The American girl also mentions that she paid Kansas taxes while in the National Guard as a further reason why she should be given instate tuition. The immigrant's curt reply insinuates that she has not paid taxes and therefore is undeserving of the tuition break.
The cartoon glosses over one vital fact: Undocumented immigrants almost always DO pay taxes. In both sales and income tax,immigrants typically contribute more money to the federal government than they cost it in social services.
What's even more important, these immigrants are paying taxes for programs they can't even take advantage of, such as Social Security and Medicare. The cartoon is not only offensive, it's incorrect.

Trial opens old wounds prompts review of terrorism
As Zacarias Moussaoui entered the courtroom, a slowly healing wound on the American psyche was ripped open. Moussaoui, the only person to have charges brought against him stemming from the Sept. 11 terrorists attacks, stood defiant in front of the court. He said he was a member of Al-Qaeda and admitted to six accounts of conspiracy.
▼ COMMENTARY
Arrested shortly before the Sept. 11 attacks took place, Moussaoul has been charged with responsibility for the attacks. The government prosecutors are calling for his execution, claiming he is directly responsible for the 3,000 deaths because he kept quiet. Although he did not have a hand in the actual plans, or the execution of them, prosecutors allege he was aware of them. And he kept quiet.
For almost five years, the United States has dealt with the monsters that were created on the day the towers fell. We watched in horror as live TV brought the images of the collapsing buildings into our homes.
Free speech crashed face first into the gravel of good taste. Should the newspapers have run the photos? Should artists claiming artistic license be allowed to sell the images of a person falling to their death? Soon, the tragedy
Should Moussaoui die? I can honestly say I don't know. I wish I did. Will one more life taken fill the void of a person you've spent every single day of your life with? My gut tells me he should die. But one last twinge of humanity tugs me back.
and death. The events that took place on Sept. 11 are unforgivable. But, we've been marinating in a society of fear and anger for so long, there's a "Lord of the Flies"-esque desire to find at least one more scapegoat.
If he is guilty, he deserves punishment. But if he's killed, he becomes a martyr for his cause. He is spiritually prepared for death. Yes, he is an evil man, convicted of being part of an abandoned plan to fly an airplane into the White House. Yes, he's morally reprehensible. But what does death accomplish?
For God's sake, as a society we have to use our head and not our hearts. I'm not condoning his behavior. I'm not giving aid or sympathy for the terrorists. But, as Siddhartha Gotama, better known as Buddha, said, "Hatred does not cease in this world by hating, but by not hating; this is an eternal truth."

Instead of Daniel Berk's opinion on who the Big 12 first team is,why don't we use the real results instead of the made up ones that
itself became snowed under with the verbal volleys of politicians and citizens alike.
Bomb the bastards. But, who were the bastards? Soon, after an extended stay in Afghanistan, the United States deployed troops to Iraq. A brand new controversy sprang up and election campaigns were bludgeoned over our heads day after day. Eventually, the public eye began to glaze over. The deaths incurred in Afghanistan and Iraq were used as a political lever, not only by those in charge, but also by those attempting to discredit those in charge.
People still died, though. The World Trade Center is still an incredibly poignant hole in the ground. The families that lost loved ones are still searching for answers. In this muted, uncomfortable silence, we're still looking for revenge.

COMMENTARY
Fear shouldn't dictate aspiration
YELENA PAVLIK opinion@kansan.com
PENGUIN MEDIA
While dead corpses and evil villains cause us to turn heads and cover our eyes during movies, real-life fears are not as easy to conceal.
We read horror novels, spend hundreds of dollars a year supporting the newest terror boxoffice hits, and have an entire holiday dedicated to celebrating the scariest of our nightmares. People love fear.
Reservations about flying or public speaking are broad and may limit some from taking a trip across the ocean or expressing their opinion in front of a group. A majority of the fears that limit us, however, are not as easy to resolve as taking a boat instead of an airplane.
The uncertainties that hold many back are often emotionally based. Fear of getting hurt: One misses out on a fulfilling relationship. Fear of trusting: One misses out on a reliable friendship. Fear of rejection: One misses out on a promising career opportunity. Fear of losing someone: One holds on too tightly, and looses anyway. Fear of change: One fails to live.
Doubts, inhabitations and worries restrain us from living life to its fullest potential. Our psychological response to limit ourselves is normal. We instinctually maintain a sense of safety. In the end, though, it leaves many with regret and remorse for not pursuing what they believed they should have.
The goal, then, becomes not just to tackle endeavors for the sake of overcoming fear, but to understand the reasoning for certain actions and to decipher ways in which to push the boundaries.
Not to say that we need to take a hundred-foot bungee-jump and follow it by running across burning coal. Simply look at life and question what it is that you could be doing right now, but are not doing because of uncertainties.
If right now your future seems to be a business suit, brief-case and a 7 a.m. alarm five days a week, but you're really an artist at heart, perhaps you should find time to paint the Eiffel Tower in Paris before your love for art fades.
Often overlooked in daily life is the idea that we may be living a back-up plan that we created in case we couldn't accomplish what we really wanted in the first place. The problem lies in a lack of faith. We're not confident our goals and ambitions are attainable.

Evidence of ice, water found on Saturn moon
SCIENCE
BY ALICIA CHANG
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — The orbiting Cassini spacecraft has spotted what appears to be water geysers on one of Saturn's icy moons, raising the tantalizing possibility that the celestial object harbors life.
Scientists generally agree that several ingredients are needed for life to emerge, including water in liquid form and a stable
The surprising images from the moon Enceladus represent some of the most dramatic evidence yet that water in liquid form may be present beyond the Earth.
Excited by the discovery, some scientists said Enceladus should be added to the short list of places within the solar system most likely to have extraterrestrial life.
heat source. But so far, the evidence of any large amounts of water in liquid form on celestial objects beyond Earth is circumstantial and indirect, based on scientists' analysis of rocks and other data.
Cassini recently snapped high-resolution images showing geyser-like eruptions of ice particles and water vapor at Enceladus's south pole, scientists said. The pictures do not actually show any water in liquid form, but scientists believe the ice and vapor must be coming from underground reservoirs of water close to the surface.
"We have the smoking gun" that proves the existence of water, said Carolyn Porco, a Cassini imaging scientist from the Space Science Institute in Boulder, Colo. If Enceladus does harbor life, it probably consists of microbes.
DUBAI DEAL
U.S. company to control ports
BY DAVID ESPO
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Relieved Republicans in Congress said the firm had pledged full divestiture, a decision that one senator said had been approved personally by the prime minister of the United Arab Emirates.
WASHINGTON — Bowing to ferocious opposition in Congress, a Dubai-owned company signaled surrender Thursday in its quest to take over operations of U.S. ports.
"The devil is in the details," said Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid of Nevada, reflecting
"DP World will transfer fully the U.S. operations ... to a United States entity," the firm's top executive, H. Edward Bilkey, said in an announcement that capped weeks of controversy.
a sentiment expressed by numerous critics of the deal.
The announcement appeared to indicate an end to a politically tinged controversy that brought President Bush and Republicans in Congress to the brink of an election-year veto battle on a terrorism-related issue. The White House expressed satisfaction with the outcome.
A leading congressional critic of the ports deal, Rep. Peter King, applauded the decision
"We have a strong relationship with the UAE and a good partnership in the global war on terrorism and I think their decision reflects the importance of our broader relationship," he said.
"It does provide a way forward and resolve the matter," presidential spokesman Scott McClellan said.
but said he and others would wait to see the details. "It would have to be an American company with no links to DP World, and that would be a tremendous victory and very gratifying," said the New York Republican, chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee.
"This should make the issue go away," said Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist. The Tennessee Republican was one of several GOP leaders to tell President Bush earlier in the day that Congress was ready to ignore his veto threat and scuttle the deal.
Several Republican officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Frist and Sen. John Warner, R-Va., chairman of the Armed Services Committee, had been privately urging the firm to give up its plans.

DOWN THE HALL Auto-bid tourneys hurt some schools
BY TIM HALL thall@kansan.com
It's a topic that comes up a lot in today's sports world and it will probably continue. But that doesn't mean I can't stress my hatred for it. The automatic-bid tournaments placed at the end of regular season completely negate the entire season's play for some schools in the country.
Look at the poor mid-major schools for example. The future second-round-and-out Gonzaga Bulldogs just managed to beat a 12-17 Loyola Marymount team in the finals of the West Coast Conference tournament. Gonzaga was playing at home, but only managed a one-point victory after a Loyola forward missed a lay-up as time expired. My point is this: it's not fair to allow that Loyola Marymount team (if it had won) an automatic bid into the NCAA tournament with a 13-17 record when there are other schools that are legitimately better than them sitting at home or playing in the NIT.
Gonzaga is the only team that deserves to go dancing from the WCC and the selection committee knows it. The conference tournaments allow a team that didn't play well the entire season to charge up for one three-game winning streak to earn a trip to the NCAA tournament.
All fans has their favorite day in sports. Some choose the Super Bowl, others go with the college football National Championship, and even some crazies circle Daytona on their calendars.
It's not fair to the teams that play better basketball for an entire season. If LMU were to get in, teams like Maryland, Florida State, Colorado, and South Carolina should definitely get in. They play tougher schedules and have winning records.
As you read this I am in Dallas at the Big 12 tournament preparing to broadcast the KU game for KUJH. I'm loving every minute of it, but I hate the principal cf it. God forbid a team like Missouri goes on a run and wins this thing. They would just lose in the first round anyway.

For me, it's Selection Sunday. It's a day that tells us where everything is going to take place for the next fev weeks, often forcing us to book last-minute spring break plans. But I'll tell you what event in the sports year I do not circle, and never will — conference tournaments.
In 2001, the Iowa Hawkeyes rolled through the Big Ten tournament after a porous regular season. They got blasted in the second round of the NCAA tournament by Kentucky. In 2002, Ohio State won the Big Ten tournament as a No. 8 seed. They also lost in the second round of the NCAA tournament to Missouri. The conferences that are at least doing something right with this are the Big Sky and West Coast Conferences, who award schools for playing well in the regular season. Those conferences let the regular season winner play host to the conference tournament. The winner of the conference tourney still gets an auto-bid to the big dance, but at least the regular season champ has the advantage it deserves. In the WCC's case, they can go ahead and book the "Kennel" in Spokane, Wash., where Gonzaga plays, for the next 10 years.

KANSAN SENIOR SPORTSWRIVER
DALLAS — Bill Self was ready to sit down with his team for dinner and watch the Oklahoma State-Iowa State game at the team hotel on Thursday.
There was only one problem — the game was blacked out on his hotel television.
Self quickly came over to the American Airlines Center to get a glimpse of the team his Jayhawks will face today.
What Self saw was an Oklahoma State team that played
the best it has offensively this season during the game's first 25 minutes. Oklahoma State built an 18-point lead just 5 minutes into the second half.
"We did the things we needed to do to win this game," Oklahoma State coach Sean Sutton said. "We wanted to establish an
inside game."
The lead dwindled, though, with Iowa State cutting the lead to two points with less than 2 minutes to play. The Cowboys have lost many close games this season — but not last night.

Basket toss stunts are when two or more squad members toss another member roughly 15 feet in the air. Two-and-a-
half-high pyramids are when two rows of people are formed on top of one another, with a third person at the top squatting.
The AACCA told coaches and advisers via e-mail that it was considering a permanent rule change regarding tosses and pyramids, but the nationally televised incident led them to take immediate action. The association will re-evaluate the rule prior to the 2006-07 season.
"Our goal is to manage the risk associated with cheerleading and minimize the risk to participants while allowing for reasonably safe skills," the AACCA said in the e-mail. "We hope and expect that this action will help us all to reach those goals."

DANCING NACHOS
Big 12 should set new standard
BY MICHAEL
PHILLIPS
mphillips@kansan.com
DALLAS - I've got a crazy idea.
I don't know what triggered it. Maybe it was too much time in the Texas sun. Or maybe it was seeing Barry Bonds dressed as Paula Abdul. There's just no way to know.
Today in Dallas, four teams that are in the NCAA tournament will beat up four teams not likely to make the NCAA tournament. I'd like to change that.
I'm well aware that this is never going to happen. Television stations aren't exactly chomping at the bit to cover Baylor vs. Nebraska, and fans of the winning teams often enjoy making the trip to Dallas or Kansas City to follow their team.
Under my proposal, the Big 12 would allow only eight teams to participate in the season-ending tournament; the worst eight.
By doing this, the top four teams in the league would be rewarded for a terrific regular season and allowed a weekend of rest before beginning the NCAA tournament.
The lower eight would be given a second opportunity to make the tournament, which they don't really have under the current system. Let's not kid ourselves, Kansas State's odds of winning the tournament this season are about the same as Jim Wooldridge's odds of getting the Duke job. It's not gonna happen.
Television viewers would be treated to games that were better, not worse. People watch the championship games of conferences they've never heard of because they mean something. When Fairleigh-Dickinson plays Monmouth, it turns into a real game, and often a close one, when a trip to the NCAA tournament is on the line.
If the Big East and ACC saw that the Big 12 teams got an extra week, they'd be crying foul within seconds. I.J. Redick would probably write a poem about the injustice of it all.
Still, if even just one conference did this, I have to think the others would quickly follow suit. Nobody wants to be at a competitive disadvantage, in the same way that NFL teams go all-out to try to earn an off-week before the plavoffs.
The same formula would work in bigger conferences like the Big East. Currently the top 12 of the conference's 16 teams are invited. Instead, the bottom 12 would be invited, allowing a whole new group of teams to experience how futile it is to try to win four in a row.
Like I said, it's a crazy idea. However, giving the best teams in the conference a chance to rest before the real tournament has a huge upside. In addition to the extra money from putting another team in the NCAA, teams like Kansas and Texas would enter the tournament well-rested, instead of having to beat up on each other in the days before the dance.
Don't write me off so quickly. Remember, in a conference in which Bobby Knight's son can become a head coach, anything can happen.

Kansas gears up to play Clemson
BY ALISSA BAUER
abauer@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Playing the No. 3 team in the nation on the road might seem like an formidable task, but members of the Kansas baseball team are looking forward to it.
"I'm so excited," junior centerfielder Kyle Murphy said on Tuesday, two days before departing for South Carolina. "I'm ready to leave for Clemson today. You just can't deny that. It's going to be a challenge and I think everyone on this team is looking forward to it."
Kansas (14-4) will begin a 10-game road trip that starts with a three-game series against No. 3 Clemson (8-2). The first game of the series is scheduled for 3 p.m. today.
Clemson actually became a KU opponent two years ago for a unique reason — former Clemson standout and current San Diego Padres shortstop Khailil Greene.
"I was going to give him and my team the chance to go play in that environment." Price said.
The environment was Doug Kingsmore Stadium, the location of the series against Clemon this weekend. Kansas leads the series between the 1-0, but this weekend the stakes are a little heavier.
"I think that if we can survive the next four weeks on our schedule then we will be in really good shape to make the NCAA tournament." Price said.
On Wednesday, Clemson defeated William & Mary, after being down three runs in the eighth inning. Under that pressure, the Tigers put together an eight-run eighth inning.
Junior second baseman Tyler Colvin leads the way at the plate for Clemson. He leads the Tigers in batting average . (353).
homeruns (4) and RBI (10).
Faced with stiff competition all season, the Jayhawks are confident in their ability to take on teams of Clemson's caliber.
"It seems like once you play one big team that it really means you've kind of played them all," Murphy said. "It's a little added since they are No. 2, but it's nothing too spectacular."
Clemson comes into the game ranked No. 2 in the Baseball America Poll. It is No. 3 in the Collegiate Baseball Rankings.
Kansas will bring weapons of its own.
Senior outfielder Gus Milner went 4-for-5 and drove in four runs in the team's last outing against Baker. Milner leads his team with 28 RBI and a .437 batting average.
"They're going to be tough." Milner said of the Tigers. "They're going to be like Stanford quality, probably a little better pitching. We just have to focus on good defense, good pitching and clutch hitting"
Kansas has shown weakness against highly-ranked teams this season. Kansas fell to then No. 9 San Diego 17-6 and lost to USC
"I know more times than not our hitters are going to come through," senior pitcher Ricky Fairchild said. "All I can do is control what I do on the mound and as long as I make my pitches then I know the defense behind me will make plays and the runs will come."
10-1 at the Public Storage Classic in February. The Jayhawk pitching didn't have much of a chance against those deficits, but they don't see that trend repeating itself.

Kansas to play host to Jayhawk Classic
The Kansas softball team will try to build on its tournament victory last weekend by taking home the crown in the 2006 Jayhawk Classic. The Jayhawks will play Minnesota, Eastern Michigan and Portland State this weekend at Arrocha Ballpark.
Kansas (11-10) swept Missouri State in its home opener Wednesday. Coming off a 4-1 record at the Best Western Airport Festival in Tulsa, Okla., and capturing their first tournament win of the season, the Jayhawks will look to continue their winning ways. Kansas is scheduled to play at 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. both today and Saturday. Sunday's final game will be at noon.

Readers lining up for book on Barry Bonds
NEW YORK — Sneak previews of a book alleging Barry Bonds was a frequent user of steroids have apparently left readers wanting to know much more: "Game of Shadows," written by two San Francisco Chronicle reporters, jumped into the top 10 of both Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble.com after excerpts were released earlier this week.
According to publisher Gotham Books, an imprint of Penguin Group (USA), a first printing of 50,000 has already been increased nearly fourfold, to 197,000.

TRACK AND FIELD
8 Jayhawks to cap season at NCAA championships
BY JACK WEINSTEIN
sports@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWRIVER
Starting today eight Kansas track and field athletes will compete for the opportunity to become national champions and All-Americans at the NCAA Indoor Track Championships in Fayetteville, Ark.
Four individuals and four runners in the distance medley relay team will vie to have their names enshrined in the Kansas record books.
To achieve All-American status, foreign athletes need to finish in the top eight of their field. Americans need to finish
within the top eight Americans. Relay teams must finish in the top eight.
Kansas has three international athletes: sophomore thrower Egor Agafonov is from Russia, senior runner Benson Chesang is from Kenya and senior long-jumper Charisse Bacchus is from Trinidad.
The meet ends Saturday.
Today, senior Sheldon Battle and Agafonov will participate in the 35-pound weight throw.
Agafonov, currently No. 4 in the weight throw on this year's national performance list, will attempt to win a national
championship after sweeping all three of his meets this season including the Big 12 Championships.
On Saturday, Battle will also compete in the shot put. Battle will try to repeat as an All-American after finishing seventh in the shot put at last year's championships. His throw of 20.02 meters ranks second this year in the NCAA.
Senior Aaron Thompson will run the 60-meter hurdles, qualifying with a school-record time of 7.84 seconds.
Bacchus will represent the women in the long jump. Bacchus broke the KU women's
record in long jump this season with a jump of 642 meters. That jump is currently sixth on this year's national performance list.
Bacchus returns to the national championships after finishing in 10th place in both the indoor and outdoor meets in 2005.
In the distance medley relay, senior Joshy Madathil runs the 1200-meter leg, sophomore Matt Baysinger runs the 400-meter leg, senior Brandon Hodges runs the 800-meter leg, and Chesang runs the 1600-meter leg.
The men's distance medley relay team qualified for nationals with a KU record time of 9:34.91, the eighth-fastest in the NCAA.
Kansas coach Stanley Redwine said he looked forward to watching his athletes compete and saw this meet as the culmination of a year of hard work, especially for the seniors.
"They're just great people and for this to be their last indoor meet, we think a lot of them, and we want them to do extremely well," Redwine said. "Those people have only done well for us, been extremely good for us and have been great leaders on and off the track for us."
According to the Trackwire Top 25 rankings, the men's indoor team is tied for 11th nationally. Each individual and the relay team is ranked 17th or higher on this year's national performance list based on their best times or throws of the season.
The U.S. track and field and cross country coaches poll currently has the Jayhawk men at 13th in the nation.
"I want the athletes to go in and compete to the best of their potential," Redwine said. "If they can do that, they'll do well."

Coach: A-game needed against this weekend's competition
BY ANTONIO MENDOZA
amendoza@kansan.com
KANSAN SCOUTWRITER
The Kansas tennis team (5-3) will try to regroup against No. 47 Iowa on Saturday and against Oklahoma State on Sunday at Robinson Courts.
Both matches are scheduled for 11 a.m.
"Iowa is a pretty solid team and we are going to have to have our A-game coming in here," Kansas coach Amy Hall-Holt said.
The Jayhawks suffered a biting 4-3 loss to the Texas Tech Red Raiders in their Big 12 opener on March 5.
Lauren Hommell, sophmore, said, "I thought it was a heartbreaker. It came down to a tie breaker in the second set."
Iowa will come into the match against Kansas with a record of 7-2. The Hawkeyes are only 1-2 against ranked opponents, though. Iowa's two losses came
against No. 48 Denver and No.
11 Baylor.
Kansas, ranked 74 in the ITA rankings, will come into the match losing two of its past three matches. Both losses were against higher-ranked teams.
Iowa will be the second-highest ranked team Kansas has faced this season; the highest was No. 36 Indiana. Indiana defeated Kansas 5-2 on Jan. 22.
The tough schedule will be nothing new to the Jayhawks. This season, Kansas has faced five teams with a higher rank and has come out of those matches with a record of 2-3.
"I think Iowa is going to be a tough, tough match," Hommell said. "It would be a good win if we could pull it out."
Kansas will follow the match against Iowa with a Big 12 Conference match on Sunday against Oklahoma State, which will come into the match with a record of 4-4.
Oklahoma State has lost three matches in a row, and four of its past six.
"With Oklahoma State being a conference match, we've got to step up and create opportunities for ourselves and take advantage of them," Hall-Holt said.
Oklahoma State and Kansas are 0-1 in Big 12 play.
Starting this season, inclement weather has kept KU matches in Lawrence. First Serve Tennis, 5200 Clinton Parkway, is a new indoor facility that opened this season. Before this season, the Jayhawks had to move to Topeka when bad weather was in the forecast.
Foul ball fall
Bad weather has already moved one match to First Serve this season against Texas Tech.

"We don't have to get up as early, eat as early, and then waste 45 minutes driving both ways," Hommell said.

NFL owners, union strike deal
By DAVE GOLDBERG THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
GRAPEVINE, Texas — NFL owners were willing to trade nearly a billion dollars for the certainty of a salary cap rather than risk life without one.
And they waited until the last minute to do it.
But the NFL's 32 divided owners finally agreed Wednesday evening to the union's proposal, including a revenue-sharing component that will cost owners nearly a billion dollars over the next six years.
The deal will carry the NFL through the 2011 season. Two low-revenue teams, Buffalo and Cincinnati, cast the only votes against.
Commissioner Paul Tagliabue said $850 million to $900 million in players' salary will be added over the life of the deal because of the revenue-sharing component, which the union fought for throughout on-again, off-again talks. The money will come from the teams that make the most in revenue beyond the television money that is already shared. Only the top 15 revenue teams in each year will be required to pay into that part of the salary pool.
Now the league's free agency period, put off twice by protracted negotiations, will start Saturday to give teams additional time to get under the newly elevated salary cap.
The spending limit for teams will be $102 million this year, $7.5 million more than it would have been without a deal, and 20 percent higher than the 2005 figure of $85.5 million. Still, some teams may have to cut players to get under the cap.

San Francisco Giants' Barry Bonds strikes out against Los Angeles Angels pitcher Hector Carrasco in spring training on Thursday.
Bonds not talking about steroid use
By JANIE McCAULEY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TEMPE, Ariz. — If the latest round of steroids accusations is bothering Barry Bonds, he's not letting on to it.
Boos coming his way from all directions, Bonds slowly stepped into the batter's box for his first spring training appearance in two years and struck out swinging on six pitches.
No home run form yet for the San Francisco star — though he did single sharply to right in his third-inning at-bat. After that, he called it a day, leaving the ballpark in the top of the fourth
inning.
Bonds, playing in an exhibition game against the AL Westwinning Los Angeles Angels, drew some cheers Thursday during the Giants' 6-5 loss, two days after the release of excerpts from an upcoming book detailing his alleged longtime steroids regimen.
"I don't worry about that stuff," he said during a 20-minute interview session at his locker back at Scottsdale Stadium. "We can react about baseball questions or we don't have
When asked afterward about the book, Bonds said, "Baseball or nothing."
a conversation. That's my reaction."
He noted his frame of mind is still strong — Bonds has become used to blocking out all sorts of distractions in recent years.
"I haven't shot anybody yet," a smiling Bonds said of his mind-set. "I haven't killed anyone or anything, gone psycho."
It helps that many fans still adore him.
"We love you, Barry!" one man screamed during Bonds' first at-bat against Angels right-hander Hector Carrasco, the slugger's first trip to the plate in an Arizona exhibition game since 2004. His single came off
Carrasco.
After missing the entire spring schedule and most of the regular season last year while recovering from knee surgery, Bonds decided to play Thursday. He rejoined the Giants in the morning after spending Wednesday at home in California for a child custody hearing.
He plans to play again Saturday as designated hitter in a game against Oakland in Phoenix and hopes to appear in the field Sunday at home against San Diego. Bonds feels "way better" than he did at this time last year and planned a rigorous workout for Friday.

he could foresee many issues in the future.
He said an individual who is exceptional at these stunts could have no place in cheer any longer.
Someone who could have received a scholarship for their ability would no longer be able to showcase their talent to get that scholarship.
Creed said scholarships could be affected by any rule prohibiting tosse and pyramids.
If cheerleaders are limited to standing on the sideline, then any person could be capable of making a squad.
There was safety in those individuals' talents to perform those stunts, Creed said.
He said he thought that many squad members would be upset with any decision to outlaw these stunts.
"The sport can't expand when you keep putting limits on it," Creed said.
"You wouldn't be doing it if you weren't talented enough," Creed said.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ****** You might want to think before you leap into action. Your personality will melt barriers if you approach situations quietly, with a strong sense of your objectives. Sometimes it is wise to keep your opinions to yourself. Tongtie: Easy does it.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ******
Your drive helps you hit a home run. There is reason for celebration and relaxation.

*Tonight: Easy does it.*
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★★
Others seek you out and might be more observant than you realize. Decide what is acceptable and what you want to do.
Recognize that you might be more of a role model than you might like. Fun and extravagance surround real estate and family.
Tongtie: Easy does it.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ****
You come from a grounded spot and understand much more than you realize.
Someone close to you could be quite difficult. Know that you don't have to put up with it. Everything can radically change.

Tonight Easy works.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★★
Others have strong intentions. You have a winning smile and attitude in your court.
Though you might appear quite affable, you could be quite the shark if you want something. Loosen up and relax.
Tonight. Don't burt trends just to be rebellious, OK?
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) *****
It's your call what kind of day you'll have.
You are more in control than you realize.
Still, frivolous behavior might come from

serious and cause your problem.
Don't.
Tonight! Let your whimsical personality out
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) *****
Make it OK to be a bit frivolous, while still understanding that you have to work.

Tonight. Fasso does it.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★
To feel good, you might need to curb a briivous streak. Focus on getting the job done well. Fatigue will accompany accomplishment, but it is worth it. Feel free not to push yourself too hard, OK?

Lance Armstrong gives Superman's son solace
NEWYORK - Lance Armstrong spent Wednesday morning comforting 13-year-old Will Reeve, less than two days after his mother, Dana Reeve, died of lung cancer.
FRIDAY, MARCH 10.2006
"I would say that his spirits were pretty good considering that, in the last 18 months, he's lost his father, his mother and his grandmother," Armstrong told the syndicated entertainment show "Inside Edition."
"In situations like this," Armstrong said, "all you can do is say, 'Hey buddy, I'm here if you want to go hang out, if you want to play games, whatever you want to do, I'm here."
The former "Superman" actor was nearly totally paralyzed in a horse-riding accident in 1995.
Armstrong said he became close to Will during his mother's illness and the two spent time together during the last few months.
Will's father, Christopher Reeve, died in October 2004 from complications from an infection.
"I love hanging with him," the cyclist said.

Bullock to star in new film
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
But Metalious never recovered from her sudden notoriety. Her marriage fell apart, her children were harassed and the author herself received threatening calls and letters. She became a heavy drinker and died of cirrhosis in 1964, at 39.
NEW YORK — Sandra Bullock has agreed to star in a film about "Peyton Place" author Grace Metallious, whose million-selling novel scandalized the nation 50 years ago and eventually ruined the author's life.
"She was ahead of her time, but not in a self-conscious way." Foner told the AP "She was one of those people who told the truth, almost naively talked about it, and got vilified for talking about it. I'm not sure if she had the muscle to deal with it."
VIRGINIA MAY
Bullock is co-producing with Carol Baum, whose previous films include "Fly Away Home" and the remake of "Father of the Bride." Naomi Foner, whose credits include "Running on Empty" and "Bee Season," is writing the screenplay.
"Grace Metalious was a housewife with three kids running around with runny noses, living in a town (Gilmanton, N.H.) where she didn't belong, didn't fit in," Baum told The Associated Press in a recent phone interview. "Meanwhile, unbeknownst to anybody, she was writing the sexiest novel in history, in her kitchen."
Metalious' novel of sex and scandal in a small New England town, based partly on Gilmanton, was published in the fall of 1956. Although it was banned in several cities, "Peyton Place" became one of the best-selling novels in history and led to a popular movie starring Lana Turner and Hope Lange.

Wayans brothers create 'thug' cartoon
LOS ANGELES — Call it Charlie Brown with a twist.
It's name: "Thugaboo."
Brothers Keenen Ivory, Shawn and Marlon Wayans, of "Scary Movie" and "In Living Color" fame, have created a series of animated children's shows, with books and toys to follow.
The series of three specials will premiere on Nickelodeon, then air on the network's all-animation channel, Nicktoons, a network spokeswoman said Wednesday.
"It's like hard meets soft," Shawn Wayans told The Associated Press. "The thug is how they dress, kind of street, but they're good kids and they make the right decisions."
Inspired by the Wayans brothers' favorite childhood cartoons, "Thugaboo" follows the misadventures of nine kids growing up in the inner city.
Three specials are planned — an hourlong show and two half-hour programs — centered on important times in children's lives.
The first episode, set to air in August, will have a back-to-school theme, said Nickelodeon spokeswoman Marianne Romano. The second will focus on the holidays, she said. The third, called "Don't Judge a Boo by its Cover," addresses how appearances can be misleading, Shawn Wavans said.
The aim of the specials, Marlon Wayans said in a statement, is to get kids laughing "by creating characters they can relate to while entertaining their parents at the same time."
The Wayans brothers are all parents, Shawn Wayans said.
"I wanted to make the show that I want my kids to watch," he said.
Known for their irreverent comedy, the Wayans brothers most-recent film project, "White Chicks," featured co-writers Shawn and Marlon as race-swapping, cross-dressing FBI agents. Keenen Ivory directed and co-wrote the film.
"As a parent, I think it's important for kids to have a source of entertainment that deals with life in positive and comedic ways," said Keenen Ivory.

Kansas State trims awav the Wool
BY DANIEL BERK

KANSAN SPORTSWRIETER
You know folks, there has been some good
DALLAS — Everything about Jim Wooldridge's day on Thursday looked uncomfortable.
You know folks, there has been some good things happening within the program. I know it's easy to feel beat up. You want to do that because we didn't get to postseason play The immediate reaction is negative."
MARK CURRY
Jim Wooldridge Kansas State Basketball coach
From the neck brace he was wearing during the game to the post-game press conference where he was squirming in his chair avoiding questions about his job security. Wooldridge wouldn't say much except that Athletic Director Tim Weiser would hold a press conference at which time he would make an announcement.
Immediately following the game, Weiser pulled Wooldridge aside and the two had a short conversation.
Weiser made the official announcement at a press conference that Wooldridge's time as Kansas State coach was over.
"The bottom line is that we have very high expectations for our men's basketball program, and we believe that a change in the direction of the program is warranted at this time in order to achieve those goals." Weiser said.
Weiser said during the press conference that Wooldridge's job would have been saved if Kansas State were to win the Big 12 tournament championship and qualified for the NCAA tournament. Wooldridge was in his sixth year as coach of Kansas State and did not make an appearance in either the NIT or the NCAA tournament while at Kansas State. Wooldridge leaves Kansas State with a record of 83-90, including a 1-13 mark against Kansas. Wooldridge wouldn't talk about
his firing after the game, but talked about the overall disappointment of the season.
"You know folks, there has been some good things happening within the program," Wooldridge said. "I know it's easy to feel beat up. You want to do that because we didn't get to postseason play. The immediate reaction is negative."
The high point this season for Wooldridge and maybe his career at Kansas State was the
team's four-point victory at Kansas earlier in the year. It was the first time Wooldridge defeated Kansas and it snapped a 31-game KU winning streak.
Kansas coach Bill Self said he was disappointed Wooldridge wouldn't be roaming the sidelines for Kansas State anymore.
"We all around the league think Jim is a good coach and hate when this sort of thing happens around this league, and wish him the very best." Self said. "He
carried himself with such dignity dealing with the rumors about his job and also undergoing the health problems he had."
Wooldridge isn't the first coach in the conference to lose his job this season. Earlier in the year, former Missouri coach Quin Snyder resigned after being told he wasn't going to be retained after the season. Oklahoma State coach Eddie Sutton also had to take a leave of absence after being involved in a car accident and was given a citation by the Stillwater Police Department for driving under the influence of alcohol.
Fogler is the former coach at Wichita State, Vanderbilt and South Carolina. He also served as an assistant under Dean Smith and next to Roy Williams at North Carolina. Weiser said he has a long-standing relationship and friendship with Fogler.
Weiser said he would like to have a new coach in place as soon as possible. He said he would prefer to hire a coach with previous head coaching experience at a Division I school, but that was not a requirement. Weiser will enlist
the help of Eddie Fogler to select a new head coach.
Wooldridge released a statement in a press release given at Weiser's press conference.
"I am grateful for the opportunity Kansas State gave us to coach and lead this program," Wooldridge said. "We wish we could have accomplished more, but it was a great experience and I appreciate the players, staff, administration and our great fans for all they have done to support us."

Big 12 tournament kicks off in Dallas
Texas Tech's Jarris Jackson scores over Kansas State's Akeem Wright during the second half of the Big 12 tournament game Thursday in Dallas.
Texas Tech 73 Kansas St.65
DALLAS — Jarrius Jackson scored 21 points and Tanner Ogden added 14 points as Texas Tech defeated Kansas State 73-65 in the opening game of the Big 12 tournament.
Texas Tech coach Bob Knight said it was a easy decision to leave Ogden in for the majority of the second half.
Ogden, a junior forward, was averaging just six minutes a game, but provided a spark for the Red Raiders, going 5-7 from the field and dishing out three assists while playing a season-high 23 minutes.
Three minutes later, with Kansas State leading by three points, Ogden drove to the basket and was fouled. He hit both free throws to bring Texas Tech within one point.
Tony Gutierrez/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Missouri's Marcus Watkins, front, drives around Nebraska's Jamel White in the first half of the men's basketball Big 12 Championship first-round game in Dallas. Nebraska won the game, 71-64. It was the team's first victory in the Big 12 tournament since 1999. Nebraska will play Oklahoma in the quarterfinal game tonight.
"This isn't nuclear science. When he made a three, I left him in a little longer," Knight said. "And then he hit another three and I said, goddamn, I left him in a little longer. Then he made a helluva drive and I said damn, stay in there."
Ogden scored eight of the first 12 points for Texas Tech in the second half. He connected on a three-pointer to open the half. Texas Tech forward Darryl Dora drove to the basket and kicked it out to an open Ogden who hit the shot.
One minute later, Ogden hit another three-point shot that gave the Red Raiders a twopoint lead. It was a lead that Texas Tech would not give up the rest of the game.
"Before the game, coach told me to get ready, so you never know." Ogden said. "Some days he tells me to get ready and I don't ever come in. You just always have to be prepared."
Jackson went a perfect 10-10 from the free-throw line in the last minute of the game to secure the victory for Texas Tech.
Kansas State was led by sophomore guard David Hoskins, who had 25 points and seven rebounds. Senior forward Dramane Diarra added 12 points and 12 rebounds.
Texas Tech will play the No. 1 seed Texas today at 11 a.m. The winner of that game will advance to the semifinals. Kansas State will await word on a possible NIT bid.

"I just couldn't get in a rhythm," Roby said. "I didn't want to force anything, but at the end I had to find a way to get the ball in the basket, because I knew my team needed me to score."
DALLAS — Colorado set up a bracket-busting match-up against Texas A&M, but only after squeaking by Baylor 65-61 Tuesday afternoon.
shots, but then sophomore guard Richard Roby hit his first basket and the floodgates were opened.
After trailing by two at halftime, Baylor opened the half with 10 unanswered points. Colorado missed its first 12
The team missed 19 of its 24 attempts, including an uncontested shot by junior forward Tim Bush that would have tied
Despite fighting off a cold, Roby was still able to play 35 minutes of an intensely physical game.
For Baylor, the glaring problem was an inability to make the long ball.
the game in the final seconds
The Buffaloes' victory set up a game today at 2 p.m. against the Texas A&M Aggies. Both teams are considered on the bubble for the NCAA tournament. Colorado coach Ricardo Patton took a different view.
"I would be shocked if we weren't already getting serious consideration from the NCAA tournament," he said. "I think that this team has shown that it is worthy of an NCAA bid."
Michael Phillips
Nebraska 71 Missouri 64
Jamel White made a tiebreaking three-pointer with 1:15 left and followed that with a key rebound, lifting Nebraska to a 71-64 victory over Missouri in the opening round of the Big 12 tournament Thursday night.
The Cornhuskers blew a 12-point lead in the second half, but White's three-pointer from the right wing broke a 64-all tie. When Thomas Gardner missed a three-pointer at the other end, White grabbed the rebound and Missouri didn't score again.
Nebraska won its first Big 12 tournament game since 1999. The Cornhuskers also ended a three-game losing streak that included a 64-63 loss to Missouri (12-16) in the regular season finale Sunday.
the opening round of the Big 12 tournament finally ended the school's 100th season of basketball, one that didn't provide any reason for celebration.
Jason Dourisseau led Nebraska with 20 points on 8-of-12 shooting, including a slam dunk and a free throw after being fouled with 24 seconds left. Aleks Maric finished with 19 points on 7-of-10 shooting.
Nebraska plays No. 22 Oklahoma in a quarterfinal game tonight.
Jimmy McKinney had 15 points and Gardner 13 for the Tigers, who have consecutive losing seasons. Before last year, they had finished under .500 only once since their last back-to-back losing seasons in 1978-79 under coach Norm Stewart.
Coach Quin Snyder resigned Feb. 10, a day after he vowed to finish his seventh season — the first four ended in the NCAAs before NIT appearances the last two years.
Missouri's first-ever loss in
He said he was told by an athletic department employee that his contract would be terminated after the season.
In what was likely the last game for interim coach Melvin Watkins, the Tigers trailed by as many as 12 points in the second half.

They extended the lead again and defeated the Iowa State Cyclones 79-70. The victory gave Oklahoma State the right to face Kansas tonight at 6.
Self said that he remembered the Oklahoma State team that he faced just less than a month ago in Stillwater, Okla. Kansas won 64-49, but Oklahoma State led with more than 10 minutes to play. Since that loss, the Cowboys have played better on the offensive end.
"I think they have played well, really ever since we played them," Self said. "Obviously they are scoring the ball a lot better than they were. They are as athletic as any team in our league."
Oklahoma State sophomore guard JamesOn Curry, who scored 14 points Thursday night, remembers his team's loss too.
"If the game was a 30-minute game we would have won," Curry said. "The only thing we need
to address is play 40 minutes of basketball. Just go out and play hard and execute."
Curry said he knew about the youth that has led Kansas this season.
"They have a great point guard in Mario Chaliners, a defensive stopper in Russell Robinson," Curry said. "They have a lot of weapons and a great coach in coach Self. We just have to go out and play as hard as we can."
Kansas has not played a game
Oklahoma State is looking for a victory to keep its hopes alive for an NCAA tournament birth. The Cowboys will likely need to win the conference tournament if they wish to play in the NCAA tournament.
in nearly a week. Oklahoma State will be playing its second game in 24 hours, but Self said he did not expect fatigue to be a factor for the Cowboys.
"We are having more fun playing defense and running the floor," Curry said. "We are just
looking forward to a great opportunity. This is the time for character to be built."
This game will mark the second straight season that the Cowboys and the Jayhawks will square off in the conference tournament. Last season, Oklahoma State came out on top, 78-75 in the Big 12 tournament semifinals.
"Oklahoma State and Kansas has always been a great game and I think our guys are excited to be a part of it tomorrow night,"
The Jayhawks arrived in Dallas on Thursday following four practices earlier in the week.
Sutton said, following his team's victory Thursday night.
"I think that we will be excited to play, no question," Self said. "Of our practices, we have probably had three of four days that were really good. Hopefully we play like we did those days and not like the one day that wasn't very good."

The KU Lawrence campus will remain closed today because of safety concerns stemming from damage caused by Sunday's storm. Events at the Lied Center and the Dole Institute of Politics will be held as scheduled.
Lynn Bretz, KU spokeswoman, said classes would not be to allow maintenance crews additional time to recover from
the severe damage the campus suffered during the storm. Bretz estimated that 60 percent of campus buildings were damaged.
Falling debris from damaged roots, nantree tree branches and shattered glass on sidewalks posed a great enough risk to keep all non-emergency employees off campus, Bretz提. Campus roads will remain closed to vehicular traffic, but on-campus pedestrian traffic is discouraged. The KU on Wheels bus system will not be running.

A storm with 70 to 90 mph winds ripped through Lawrence Sunday morning, leaving the city and the KU campus in disrepair.
The storm was classified as a microburst, a brief but intense downward-moving current of air produced from severe thunderstorms. No one was seriously injured by the storm, but three people entered Lawrence Memorial Hospital with minor cuts and bruise.
Douglas County Emergency Management began receiving information regarding the approaching storm at about 7:30 Sunday morning. The agency sounded tornado sirens at 8:08.

The landlord of 1205 Kentucky was trapped between his white SUV and the car behind it when a vehicle collided with a parked car. The white vehicle was later moved by police. The man, who has not yet been identified, was flown to the KU Medical Center.
Man pinned by crash condition unknown
The man was identified as the landlord of 1205 Kentucky by Kevin Padawer, Memphis, Tenn., sophomore, who saw the incident. Padawer was not sure of the man's name. He said that the man had been cleaning up the house after the storm and had been getting supplies out of the back of his SUV when he was hit.
A man was life-flighted to the KU Medical Center yesterday evening after being trapped between two parked cars.
Ray Urbanek, Lawrence Police LL., said that a car hit a parked car that was behind the man's SUV. When the car was pushed forward, it sandwiched the man between the two cars.
Urbanck had not yet been informed of the man's name or condition.

Jayhawks take Big 12 Championship
Going into Sunday's Big 12 Championship, Kansas and Texas had different purposes.
Texas had different perspectives on the conference tournament. The Longhorns were shooting for the first Big 12 Conference tournament championship in the history of the school — and also the first for any Texas school. For the Jayhawks, it was an opportunity for redemption against the only team that beat them in the past 16 games, as well as a return to prominence. After winning the tournament the first three times it was played, Kansas had been shut out since 1999.
For on-location coverage from the Kansan, turn to pages 1B, 6B and 7B. And for updates throughout the tournament, check out Kansan.com for coverage, analysis and to make your opinion known.
Kansas got its redemption — as well as a No. 4 seed in the NCAA Basketball Tournament against the No. 13 seed Bradley Braves — by knocking off Texas, 80-68. It was an unlikely twist for a team that began the season 1-2. After consecutive losses to Kansas State and Missouri in mid-January, many fans were thinking NIT. But the Jayhawks finished strong, including a 10-game conference winning streak and a tie with Texas for the conference regular season title.

Kansas State trims away the Wool
BY DANIEL BERK
dberk@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR SPORTSWRIETER
"You know folks, there has been some good
DALLAS—Everything about Jim Wooldridge's day on Thursday looked uncomfortable.
You know folks, there has been some good things happening within the program. I know it's easy to feel beat up. You want to do that because we didn't get to postseason play. The immediate reaction is negative."
PARKS
From the neck brace he was wearing during the game to the post-game press conference where he was squirming in his chair avoiding questions about his job security, Wooldridge wouldn't say much except that Athletic Director Tim Weiser would hold a press conference at which time he would make an announcement.
ence that Wooldridge's time as Kansas State coach was over.
Jim Wooldrige
Kansas State Basketball coach
Immediately following the game, Weiser pulled Wooldridge aside and the two had a short conversation.
Weiser made the official announcement at a press confer-
"The bottom line is that we have very high expectations for our men's basketball program, and we believe that a change in the direction of the program is warranted at this time in order to achieve those goals." Weiser said.
Weiser said during the press conference that Wooldridge's job would have been saved if Kansas State were to win the Big 12 tournament championship and qualified for the NCAA tournament. Wooldridge was in his sixth year as coach of Kansas State and did not make an appearance in either the NIT or the NCAA tournament while at Kansas State. Wooldridge leaves Kansas State with a record of 83-90, including a 1-13 mark against Kansas. Wooldridge wouldn't talk about
"You know folks, there has been some good things happening within the program," Wooldridge said. "I know it's easy to feel beat up. You want to do that because we didn't get to postseason play. The immediate reaction is negative."
his firing after the game, but talked about the overall disappointment of the season.
The high point this season for Wooldridge and maybe his career at Kansas State was the
team's four-point victory at Kansas earlier in the year. It was the first time Wooldridge defeated Kansas and it snapped a 31-game KU winning streak.
Kansas coach Bill Self said he was disappointed Wooldridge wouldn't be roaring the sidelines for Kansas State anymore.
"We all around the league think Jim is a good coach and hate when this sort of thing happens around this league, and wish him the very best," Self said. "He
carried himself with such dignity dealing with the rumors about his job and also undergoing the health problems he had."
Wooldridge isn't the first coach in the conference to lose his job this season. Earlier in the year, former Missouri coach Quin Snyder resigned after being told he wasn't going to be retained after the season. Oklahoma State coach Eddie Sutton also had to take a leave of absence after being involved in a car accident and was given a citation by the Stillwater Police Department for driving under the influence of alcohol.
Weiser he would like to have a new coach in place as soon as possible. He said he would prefer to hire a coach with previous head coaching experience at a Division I school, but that was not a requirement. Weiser will enlist
the help of Eddie Fogler to select a new head coach.
Fogler is the former coach at Wichita State, Vanderbilt and South Carolina. He also served as an assistant under Dean Smith and next to Roy Williams at North Carolina. Weiser said he has a long-standing relationship and friendship with Fogler.
Wooldridge released a statement in a press release given at Weiser's press conference.
"I am grateful for the opportunity Kansas State gave us to coach and lead this program," Wooldridge said. "We wish we could have accomplished more, but it was a great experience and I appreciate the players, staff, administration and our great fans for all they have done to support us."

Big 12 tournament kicks off in Dallas
Texas Tech's Jarris Jackson scores over Kansas State's Akeem Wright during the second half of the Bio 12 tournament game Thursday in Dallas.
Texas Tech 73 Kansas St.65
DALLAS — Jarrius Jackson scored 21 points and Tanner Ogden added 14 points as Texas Tech defeated Kansas State 73-65 in the opening game of the Big 12 tournament.
Ogden, a junior forward, was averaging just six minutes a game, but provided a spark for the Red Raiders, going 5-7 from the field and dishing out three assists while playing a season-high 23 minutes.
Texas Tech coach Bob Knight said it was a easy decision to leave Ogden in for the majority of the second half.
Missouri's Marcus Watkins, front, drives around Nebraska's Jamel White in the first half of the men's basketball Big 12 Championship first-round game in Dallas. Nebraska won the game, 71-64. It was the team's first victory in the Big 12 tournament since 1999. Nebraska will play Oklahoma in the quarterfinal game tonight.
"This isn't nuclear science. When he made a three, I left him in a little longer," Knight said. "And then he hit another three and I said, goddamn, I left him in a little longer. Then he made a helluva drive and I said damn, stay in there."
Three minutes later, with Kansas State leading by three points, Ogden drove to the basket and was fouled. He hit both free throws to bring Texas Tech within one point.
One minute later, Ogden hit another three-point shot that gave the Red Raiders a twopoint lead. It was a lead that Texas Tech would not give up the rest of the game.
Ogden scored eight of the first 12 points for Texas Tech in the second half. He connected on a three-pointer to open the half. Texas Tech forward Darryl Dora drove to the basket and kicked it out to an open Ogden who hit the shot.
"Before the game, coach told me to get ready, so you never know," Ogden said. "Some days he tells me to get ready and I don't ever come in. You just always have to be prepared."
Tony Gutierrez/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Jackson went a perfect 10-10 from the free-throw line in the last minute of the game to secure the victory for Texas Tech.
Kansas State was led by sophomore guard David Hoskins, who had 25 points and seven rebounds. Senior forward Dramane Diarra added 12 points and 12 rebounds.
Texas Tech will play the No. 1 seed Texas today at 11 a.m. The winner of that game will advance to the semifinals. Kansas State will await word on a possible NIT bid.
Colorado 65 Baylor 61
Daniel Berk
DALLAS — Colorado set up a bracket-busting match-up against Texas A&M, but only after squeaking by Baylor 65-61 Tuesday afternoon.
"I just couldn't get in a rhythm." Roby said. "I didn't want to force anything, but at the end I had to find a way to get the ball in the basket, because I knew my team needed me to score."

After trailing by two at halftime, Baylor opened the half with 10 unanswered points. Colorado missed its first 12
Despite fighting off a cold, Roby was still able to play 35 minutes of an intensely physical game.
The team missed 19 of its 24 attempts, including an uncontested shot by junior forward Tim Bush that would have tied
For Baylor, the glaring problem was an inability to make the long ball.
the game in the final seconds.
The Buffaloes' victory set up a game today at 2 p.m. against the Texas A&M Aggies. Both teams are considered on the bubble for the NCAA tournament. Colorado coach Ricardo Patton took a different view.
"I would be shocked if we weren't already getting serious consideration from the NCAA tournament," he said. "I think that this team has shown that it is worthy of an NCAA bid."

Nebraska 71 Missouri 64
Jamel White made a tiebreaking three-pointer with 1:15 left and followed that with a key rebound, lifting Nebraska to a 71-64 victory over Missouri in the opening round of the Big 12 tournament Thursday night.
The Cornhuskers blew a 12-point lead in the second half, but White's three-pointer from the right wing broke a 64-all tie. When Thomas Gardner missed a three-pointer at the other end, White grabbed the rebound and Missouri didn't score again.
Nebraska won its first Big 12 tournament game since 1999. The Cornhuskers also ended a three-game losing streak that included a 64-63 loss to Missouri (12-16) in the regular season finale Sunday.
the opening round of the Big 12 tournament finally ended the school's 100th season of basketball, one that didn't provide any reason for celebration.
Jason Dourisseau led Nebraska with 20 points on 8-of-12 shooting, including a slam dunk and a free throw after being fouled with 24 seconds left. Aleks Maric finished with 19 points on 7-of-10 shooting.
Nebraska plays No. 22 Oklahoma in a quarterfinal game tonight.
Jimmy McKinney had 15 points and Gardner 13 for the Tigers, who have consecutive losing seasons. Before last year, they had finished under 500 only once since their last back-to-back losing seasons in 1978-79 under coach Norm Stewart.
Coach Quin Snyder resigned Feb. 10, a day after he vowed to finish his seventh season — the first four ended in the NCAAs before NIT appearances the last two years.
Missouri's first-ever loss in
He said he was told by an athletic department employee that his contract would be terminated after the season.
In what was likely the last game for interim coach Melvin Watkins, the Tigers trailed by as many as 12 points in the second half.

Self said that he remembered the Oklahoma State team that he faced just less than a month ago in Stillwater, Okla. Kansas won 64-49, but Oklahoma State led with more than 10 minutes to play. Since that loss, the Cowboys have played better on the offensive end
"I think they have played well, really ever since we played them," Self said. "Obviously they are scoring the ball a lot better than they were. They are as athletic as any team in our league."
Oklahoma State sophomore guard JamesOn. Curry, who scored 14 points Thursday night, remembers his team's loss too.
"If the game was a 30-minute game we would have won," Curry said. "The only thing we need
"They have a great point guard in Mario Chalmers, a defensive stopper in Russell Robinson," Curry said. "They have a lot of weapons and a great coach in coach Self. We just have to go out and play as hard as we can."
to address is play 40 minutes of basketball. Just go out and play hard and execute."
Curry said he knew about the youth that has led Kansas this season.
Kansas has not played a game
in nearly a week. Oklahoma State will be playing its second game in 24 hours, but Self said he did not expect fatigue to be a factor for the Cowboys.
D
Oklahoma State is looking for a victory to keep its hopes alive for an NCAA tournament birth. The Cowboys will likely need to win the conference tournament if they wish to play in the NCAA tournament.
"We are having more fun playing defense and running the floor," Curry said. "We are just
looking forward to a great opportunity. This is the time for character to be built."
"Oklahoma State and Kansas has always been a great game and I think our guys are excited to be a part of it tomorrow night,"
This game will mark the second straight season that the Cowboys and the Jayhawks will square off in the conference tournament. Last season, Oklahoma State came out on top, 78-75 in the Big 12 tournament semifinals.
Sutton said, following his team's victory Thursday night.
The Jayhawks arrived in Dallas on Thursday following four practices earlier in the week.
"I think that we will be excited to play, no question," Self said. "Of our practices, we have probably had three of four days that were really good. Hopefully we play like we did those days and not like the one day that wasn't very good."

KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
march 13 - march 18
March 13, 1897 — The University of Kansas faculty and administration salaries were reduced when the legislature announced large funding cutbacks for the University.
March 17, 1942 — In the midst of Japanese-American deportation on the west coast, Chancellor Deane W. Malot invited Japanese-American college students to the University of Kansas. He said the deportation would seem, "utterly foolish" in the "light of later years."
March 17, 1960 — University of Kansas Chancellor Franklin D.
Murphy resigned from the University after a long feud with Governor George Docking. During Docking's 1956 campaign for governor, Murphy supported the opposing Republican candidate Warren W Shaw.
Murphy said, "Democrats can only promise to continue, or at most expand, Republican programs. This should be put to the electorate so constantly and so frequently that they cannot forget it."
equipment, library holdings and an expansion of the University's physical plant.
After Docking won the election, tension between him and Murphy grew. Docking did not approve of Murphy's vision for the future of KU, which called for a large investment from the state to improve faculty's salaries, research facilities, technological
Murphy believed the funds for the University were needed immediately and "lack of vision, shortsightedness, political infighting, at the expense of adequate investment in higher education could be devastating."
Docking thought any investment in the University should go directly to student education and was skeptical of allocating state funds to academic research. He believed museums, libraries and galleries were "luxuries."
The feud between Murphy and Docking continued in The Lawrence Journal-World, The University Daily Kansan, The Topeka Capital-Journal and Salina Journal. But on March 17, 1960, after 12 years at KU, Murphy announced he was leaving KU to take the job as chancellor at UCLA. That night, a dummy of Docking was hung and burned in the company of about 600 students.
The day after Murphy's resignation, more than 4,000 students
gathered in Hoch Auditoria to protest and show their disgust of the treatment Murphy had received from Governor Docking.
Murphy's colleagues at UCLA said "through countless private kindness, Franklin D. Murphy endeared himself to a legion of admirers around the world." Two campus facilities were named in Murphy's honor, Murphy Hall and Murphy Art and Architecture Library.
March 18, 1969 — Senator Robert F. Kennedy began his presidential campaign at the University of Kansas and Kansas State University. His speech on March 18 brought over 20,000 students to Allen Fieldhouse. KU students interrupted him 38 times during the course of his speech with applause.
One of the interruptions of applause was most likely after Kennedy surprisingly commented, "The more riots that come out of our college campuses, the better the world for tomorrow."

CAMPUS Million dollar payout isn't for KU employee
KU employee Johnny Andris
won $5,000 on the TV show
"Who Wants to Be a Millionaire"
The show aired Friday on NBC.
Andris, a media relations assistant for the KU Athletics Department, was close to winning $16,000, but he got stumped by a question and used a life line to phone his dad. Because his dad wasn't sure of the answer, Andris decided to walk.
"Looking back, I wish I could've won more," he said. "I should've gone with my gut instead of walking away."
He would have won if he'd gone with his dad's answer. The question was: In 2005, a Russian astrologer filed a $300 million lawsuit against what U.S. agency for interfering with her horoscope? Out of Environmental Protection Agency, FBI, NASA and CIA, his dad gave the correct answer of NASA.
"I can't complain though, I still won money," he said. "I can't be disappointed."
Andris hasn't done anything with the money yet. He hopes to use some of it toward a trip to see the World Cup in Germany this summer. He wants to attend law school soon, but he said the money was not enough to put toward it.

Stormy Sunday roll-over
Jill Toyoshiba/THE KANSAS CITY STAR
MART
A tractor trailer carrying several giant rolls of paper overturned on northbound Interstate 435 in Kansas City, Mo., on Sunday morning. According to tow crews and a police officer on the scene, the truck was overturned by strong winds or a microrubust passing through the area. One tow operator said the rolls of paper weigh 6,000 pounds each. The truck company was RFK Transportation, of Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
Bomb explodes, kills four U.S. troops
WAR ON TERROR
KABUL, Afghanistan — A roadside bomb killed four U.S. troops passing by in an armored vehicle in eastern Afghanistan on Sunday, the deadliest attack on coalition forces in a month.
In Kabul, a suicide bombing Sunday killed two people and narrowly missed the chief of Afghanistan's upper house of parliament, and he accused Pakistani intelligence of trying to assassinate him.
BY RAHIM FAIEZ
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The two bombings were the latest in a series of militant attacks that appear to be gathering intensity four years after the outst of the hard-line Taliban regime by a U.S.-led invasion.
The four American troops died when their vehicle was hit by an improvised explosive device in the Pech Valley in Kunar province as they patrolled to keep a road open to civilian and military traffic, military spokesman Col. Jim Yonts said.
Kunar governor Asadullah Wafa said the blast went off as a convoy of six American vehicles passed at 4:15 p.m.
Yonts accused militants of launching "cowardly" attacks, placing bombs and detonating them from a distance. He said that would not deter the U.S.-led coalition from their mission of defeating Taliban and al-Qaida militants and establishing lasting security.
Sunday's bombing raised the death toll of U.S. military personnel in the region to 220 since a U.S.-led offensive toppled the Taliban regime in Afghanistan in late 2001. It was the deadliest attack since Feb. 13, when a roadside bomb killed four American troops traveling in an armored vehicle in central Uruzgan province.
Also Sunday, a car bombing in the
capital targeted Sibghatullah Mujaddedi, a Muslim cleric who briefly served as president in 1992. He now heads the new Meshran Jirga, or upper house of parliament, and leads a commission encouraging Taliban fighters to reconcile with the government.
Mujaddaj escaped with burns to his hands and face, but two bystanders, a girl on her way to school and a man on a motorbike, were killed. Five others were wounded, and the two attackers who drove the explosives-laden station wagon into the convoy died.
"The explosion was very strong. For a while I couldn't see anything. I was in the front seat of my car. I saw a big fire came toward me," the white-bearded Mujaddedi told a news conference a few hours later.
His hands were wrapped in bandages — burned when he raised them to protect his face from the blast.

Professors speak on Islamic business
While Islamic law and morality might be compliant with capitalism, Raj Bhala, KU professor of law, said doing business in Islamic society may not be easy.
Bhala and Mohamed El-Hodiri, KU professor of economics, spoke to a crowd of more than 40 people Friday at the "Doing Business in Islamic Society" breakfast seminar hosted by the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce.
The chamber's goal was to educate Lawrence business owners about overseas expansion, said Hossein Gerami, president of the chamber.
El-Hodiri said fairness and equality were two of Islam's axioms. Islam encourages capitalism as long as businesses don't harm others.
There are a few things that aren't business-friendly though, he said. Islam bans interest because in the Koran, it states that one can't take multiples of his capital. While the sale of alcohol and tobacco are prohibited, they are not against Islamic law to sell. Since Muslims cannot consume them, most countries prohibit the sale to all.
Citibank has been the most successful in Islamic society because it has adopted Islamic banking laws for those countries.
He said Muslims are honest and respect contracts because of their Islamic morality, which comes from three main sources: the Koran, the suna - the words of Mohammed- and the majority of Muslims today, who are constantly relooking and revising Islamic morals.
"No one can say we shut down the thinking process." El-Hodiri said. "If you travel to that part of the world, you can expect the hospitality of a lifetime." El-Hodiri said.
He said trade was minimal compared with the rest of the world. He said the entire Arab-Muslim world's gross domestic product was equal to that of Spain alone. Muslim banks "rip off" customers even more than Western banks because they do charge high interest rates, he said.
Bhala didn't quite agree. "I think we are trying to get along, I'm going to be a little more provocative," he said, to counter El-Hodiri's speech.
"No one can say we shut down the thinking process. If you travel to that part of the world,you can expect the hospitality of a lifetime."
Mohamed El-Hodiri Professor of Economics
He also warned against making contracts under the local laws because the religious courts might overturn even a written contract. He advised going through the international trade laws, Hong Kong or the United States to make contracts.
Bhala said private property was respected usually, but never guaranteed. Islamic society was far from democratic, he said. If one owned a house, he would always run the risk that the government might take it away, even though the scenario was unlikely.
Insurance is also a tricky matter because gambling is not allowed under Islamic law. Life insurance is not allowed because it's gambling on someone's life, Bhala said, but horse and donkey racing bets are allowed because they're considered a game of skill.
Ashlee Crowl, Topeka senior, said she attempted to learn more about Islamic business for AIESEC, of which she is a member. AIESEC promotes international internships, and this seminar helped them know more of what business people want, she said.
Ernie Cummings of Kizer-Cummings Jewelers, said he attended because he did business with people from the Islamic world and wanted to learn more about their way of doing business.
"Whenever we increase understanding, it increases ability to be more successful in business," he said.

KANSAN STAFF WRITE
The Rock Chalk Revue this weekend at the Lied Center raised close to $38,000 in revenue this year for its philanthropy.
Scott Ferguson, fundraising coordinator for the event, said that money was still trickling in and expenses still needed to be paid, so an exact amount isn't known yet.
A check for the raised amount will be presented to United Way of Douglas County during halftime at one of the first home football games this fall.
Over 4,000 people attended the revue, with an estimated 1,800 on Saturday. 1,200 Friday and 1,000 on Thursday.
Hannah Johnson, Barrington, Ill., sophomore and member of Gamma Phi Beta, is attended the revue with some of her friends on Thursday night. She said she liked the pre-show videos before each skit that showed behind the scenes information about the groups and their experience with this year's show. She said she found the show very humorous.
Phi Delta Theta and Chi Omega's "CinderEllie" swept at the awards ceremony, winning 10 of 14 awards including best overall performance and the new viewer's choice award.
Other groups and acts were Delta Upsilon and Kappa Kappa Gamma, performing "Rising Heat;" Phi Kappa Psi and Delta Gamma, performing "In the Club;" Beta Theta Pi and Kappa Alpha Theta, performing "Joes and Dolls;" and Sigma Chi and Pi Beta Phi, performing "Rockin' the Boat."
A detailed account of the awards and recipients, including the community service awards, can be found on the Rock Chalk Reve Web site.

Dinner caps Asian week
BY ANNE WELTMER
aweltmer@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
A smorgasbord of Asian cuisine spread across several long folding tables for the Asian American Student Association's ninth annual Taste of Asia dinner Friday at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries.
The event was one of many scheduled by the association for its 14th Asia Week at the University of Kansas. The week-long celebration took place "to display our culture for people so they can be more aware;" said Rachel Li, Overland Park sophomore and Taste of Asia coordinator.
The week included a lion dancing demonstration on Wescoe Beach, foreign movies, Asian karaoke origami tables, the dinner and a show Saturday night, Li said.
The dinner itself was a laidback occasion, where both association members and other KU students could get together, meet new people and enjoy the variety of Asian cuisines donated by Panda Garden, 1500 W. Sixth St., Thai Siam, 601 Kasold Drive, King Buffet, 1601 W. 23rd St., the Plum Tree, 2620 Iowa St., and other student organizations on campus. The dinner included Vietnamese, Thai, Chinese and Japanese food.
Yi Jia, Zhenjiang, China graduate student, said he came to meet friends and have some good Asian food.
Li said the dinner, along with the whole week, was a good way for the association's 30 members to get in touch with the other Asian organizations on campus and work together on the week's events.
The dinner included stewed chicken and potatoes, spring rolls, friend dumplings with curry filling, onigiri or sticky rice triangles wrapped in dried seaweed with various fillings and a special soupy dessert of tapioca, coconut milk and melons.

HOROSCOPES
ARIES (March 21-April 19) ★★★
Whether you like it or not, it is time to get back into the swing of things this Monday. You could be frustrated by others and how they relate to you. Pick and choose your words with care — all right? You don't need to cause yourself any problems. Tonight: Make it early.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) *****
Visualize more of what you want from those around you. You might not be able to see the results immediately, but you can guide conversations and situations.
Others create uprising. You need to dip into your ingenuity. Tonight: Act as if there is no tomorrow.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ★★★
No matter which way you turn, you cannot win for losing. You might not know what to do with your frustration. Think "summer"; think "bath suits." Go for the healthy choice — exercise. You don't need to join the gym either; walking will work! Tonight: Anchor in.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) ★★★
Others just might not be able to identify with what you say or your perspective. Today, the best you can do is take action with an eye to what you want.
For sure, you cannot please all of the people all of the time. Tonight: Make your life work.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★
Use discretion in what you choose to do. Clearly, others want you to carry the weight or responsibility of a situation. Ultimately, you need to take care of yourself first. You need to set limits. Tonight: Find your friends.
LUBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ***
Listen carefully to news that heads your way. Investigate and see what options you have. The unexpected pops out of the blue. Realize your limits and don't make a grandstand play. Right now, it will only backfire. Tonight: Quiet time.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ****
You have what it takes. Listen to suggestions, but be willing to flex. Whatever you decide to do, whatever decision you make, expect a challenge. Others are unpredictable. Don't try to make sense of what is happening. Tonight. Smile away.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★★★
Knowing what you want and getting it
might not happen today. You will find that
your ability to manifest gets thwarted by
someone you can generally count on.
Your creativity emerges, and you come
up with ideas. Tonight: Find your friends.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ★★★
Keep your mind on your work rather than on how things should be. Recognize that you might have to jump over your share of hurdles. Know that you can do what is necessary to hit a home run. Tonightww: Find the action.
CAPIRCORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★★★
Your ability to detach will determine just how effective you are and how good you will feel. With information and insight, you will grow and gain. Review a situation with an eye to greater success. Tonight: Allow your mind to wander.
AQUARIUS (jan. 20-Feb. 18) ***
Others certainly are sure they are right, but you might not be so sure. Controversy could lose your day into chees, and quite quickly at that. Your mind and imagination add to the power of your solution-finding abilities. Tonight: Go along with another's desires.
PISCES (Fab. 19-March 20) **** You unpredictability could be the source of your problems. Understand what you cannot control and possibly the ches that surrounds your footsteps. You aren't the victim. You are partially responsible for what is happening. Tonight: Say yes.

Students dodge disaster
BY ANNE WELTMER
AND MIKE MOSTAFFA
editor@kansan.com
KANSAN STaff WRITERS
Travis Warner, Manhattan senior, escaped the heavy winds and swirling clouds that tore through Indiana street Sunday morning, but his truck didn't.
"The irony is lawny wanted to see a tornado; now I missed it and it hit my truck," he said after a 40-foot-tall tree completely smashed the cabin of his Black Dodge Dakota Sport and filled the bed with branches in the Oread Heights parking lot at 1140 Indiana.
Warner and other University of Kansas students' lives were disrupted Sunday morning by a storm with winds from 70 to 90 mph. Those winds wreaked havoc on houses, apartments and vehicles throughout the neighborhoods around the University.
Robert Zwolinski, Chicago
sophomore, had never experienced a tornado storm. The entire house was shaking when he heard the loud boom of a giant tree uprooted and struck his 1339 Tennessee apartment.
He said he made a dash for the building's basement. The entrance to the basement was outside the building, and clad in pajama pants and a large coat, Zwolinski sprinted to the building's basement.
Kris Keckler, Gardner senior,
lives in an apartment at 1333 Tennessee
and gets up at 8 a.m. every
Sunday to go jogging.
Keckler said she had seen what she thought was a tornado touch down in a space between her house at 1335 Tennessee and her neighbor's house at 1335 Tennessee. She said that she was glad she didn't go jogging today.
Ted Henson, Kansas City senior, lives at 1339 Tennessee had his 1995 Chevy Cavalier smashed by a large branch.
Henson's apartment was upstairs and with no basement, he and a friend who spent the night didn't feel safe.
"We hit the floor; we didn't know what to do," he said.
Two cars around Warner's also were hit by the tree. It poked a hole in the back window of a light gold Nissan Altima and splintered the spoiler of a gold, two-door Honda Accord.
The only thing on Warner's mind at the moment was midterms. He said most of his homework and study material was in his car, which he can't get in to. Warner said that he had many good memories in the truck, including the first time he made out during his freshman year in high school.
"Next time you see me I'll have a sweet 2003 Nissan Sentra. It will be awesome," Warner said.

A street light lays on the ground next to the intersection of 11th and Massachusetts in downtown Lawrence. The high winds damaged several street lights in the downtown area.

The tree was chopped down by a car. It had fallen over on the road. The tree is now lying on its side, and there are branches sticking out of it. The ground around the tree is covered with dirt and debris. There is no sign of damage to the tree itself.

The high-speed winds left such a path of debris and destruction across Lawrence that Douglas County Commissioner Bob Johnson declared a state of disaster at 10:35 a.m.
Storm
Mark Cairns, duty officer for Douglas County emergency management, said it looked as if two storm cells combined over Lawrence to create the microburst. He said this type of storm was very unusual.

The storm hit Lawrence near 31st and Iowa streets and moved east. The city and campus were left needing to be cleaned of the shingles and tree limbs that covered the streets. The storm
After the storm, Douglas County Emergency Management thought the city's siren system was inoperable because an antenna on top of its control
Jonathan Holley, Topeka graduate student, said that by the time he heard a siren, a tree had crashed into his living room and an electrical box had exploded in an alley next to his house at 945 Vermont St.
The city contacted its siren company, Blue Valley Public Safety, to determine if the alarms had been sounded and if any needed repair. The company found that 30 of the 32 sirens in Douglas County had gone off successfully with the other two still uncertain.
Officials will start a damage assessment of the city at 8 a.m. today. The assessment crew's findings will determine if Lawrence is eligible to receive federal aid for areas with the most damage.
Several residents reported not hearing sirens until after the storm hit.
also caused street lights to stop working and power lines to fall in the street.
"The sirens were late," Holley said. "I walked outside and the storm was already over."
Smith said the city had no plans to remove heavy debris such as fallen trees from yards. She said residents were accountable for private property damage.
center in the Douglas County Courthouse had been damaged. No signal was received telling the agency the sirens had successfully sounded.
The American Red Cross set up a shelter at First Baptist Church, 14th Street and Kasold Drive, to supply lodging and food for those without power. The shelter closed after receiving only one visitor in five hours.
A city crew will begin collecting debris at 7 a.m. today. Smith said residents should separate woody debris from all other debris and place the material at the curb.
Damage was extensive across many parts of Lawrence. Businesses such as Weaver's Department Store, 901 Massachusetts St., Lawrence Internal Medicine, 3310 Clinton Parkway Court, and Buffalo Wild Wings, 1012 Massachusetts St., all lost of parts of roofs and suffered damage to store signs.
Many of the University's buildings also suffered from the storm. Sidewalks were littered with red roof tiles and broken tree limbs. Both campus buildings and cars parked in campus lots had windows that were broken either from the intense winds or falling debris.
Templin Residence Hall was one of the buildings on campus that was hit the hardest. The air conditioning unit on the roof of the hall was blown off and lay as a mangleed piece of metal on the
.
front lawn. Many residents' cars were crushed by falling pieces of the roof.
Karla Olsen, a spokeswoman for Westar Energy, said that as of 9:30 p.m. Sunday about 5,000 Lawrence residents were still without power. She said that at the peak of the storm, about 38,000 homes didn't have power.
"We've made really good progress, but these last ones may be the most difficult," Olsen said.
She said the company had 164 workers out in the city working to get all the power restored, which she said could happen by this evening.

Winds contort ballparks, complex
BY ERIC JORGENSEN
ejorgensen@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Twisted metal bleachers, a demolished backstop, uprooted trees, an exploded port-a-potty 200 feet from its base and dozens of onlookers shaking and staring all happened in a couple minutes.
What once was a sporting complex on southwest campus, home to Arrocha Ballpark, Hoglund Ballpark and Jayhawk Sports Complex, is now a mangled disaster.
Tornadic winds swept through the area that contains the baseball, softball and soccer fields around 8:15 Sunday morning. It destroyed most of the region, along with much of Lawrence.
Ryan Bulger, Wichita freshman, who lives in Oliver Hall, was awake before the storm hit. He watched the events unfold through his dorm window.
He said he woke up just as the thunder started rumbling. He stood at his window, watching as a 'black wall of lightning' tore through West Lawrence, bearing down on the soccer, softball and baseball fields.
"It was calm as hell, then it just started spinning," Bulger said.
He said it was still, and then the air turned violent.
Then the wind peaked, and the fixtures gave.
The wind accelerated, pushing the bleachers and scoreboards surrounding the field.
The bleachers adjacent to the soccer field were twisted in a helix and thrown on the Oliver Hall lawn.
Bulger watched as the stands behind home plate at Arrocha Ballpark were jostled, then blown through the backstop, landing and settling on the infield.
"The wind tossed the bleachers like a tow." Bulger said.
"I thought a tornado hit the parking lot," Bulger said. "It was pretty violent."
Some spectators compared the scene to the movie "War of the Worlds," with the dark clouds, lightning bursts, strong winds and widespread damage.
When the winds finally subsided, those awake began wandering toward the field. Many played parazzi, snapping photos at the garbled images.
The Athletics Department acted fast to assess the damage. Jim Marchiony, Associate Athletics Director, stood on Hoglund's infield as he and the department staff tried
Ryan Raymond, Buffalo Grove Ill., freshman, said he saw some people climbing on the overturned bleachers and outfield fences to look into the softball and baseball fields.
Hoglund Ballpark did not sustain the same damage that Arrocha did.
to decide what to do next.
"We're working on it now," Marchiony said. "We're trying to assess everything, then we will find a course of action."
Marchiony said there were no plans on where the softball team would play in the coming games.
The Kansas softball team's game against Minnesota was postponed with no makeup scheduled yet.
Bill Sward, father of Minnesota outfielder Chrisy Sward, came to town from Maplewood, Minn., to watch the game. After hearing about the damage, he and his family came to view it for themselves.
"This is pretty extensive," Sward said. "I didn't imagine it to be this bad."
It is unclear what happens next. Clearing the fields and getting them ready to play is the goal, but when that will be is undetermined.

Picking up the pieces
At the Replay Lounge, 946 Massachusetts St., the reported 70 to 90 mph winds tore away the front window facing 10th street, frame and all.
Broken signs, ripped-up awnings and smashed windows lined the streets and sidewalks of Lawrence from the downtown area to Clinton Parkway Sunday after a strong storm struck the city.
"I've never seen anything this bad," co-owner Nick Carroll said. "The wind must have hit it just right."
An employee at the Eldridge Hotel, 701 Massachusetts St., reported that the storm knocked a satellite dish off of the roof. The dish, which hadn't been used for some time, was found on the next block north in front of Liberty Hall. The storm didn't cause any major damage to the building.
of several stores whose signs lay shattered in the street. Part of its sign lay in pieces across the street from the restaurant.
At Plymouth Congregational Church, 925 Vermont St., two spires fell onto the sidewalk. Signs were posted around the taped-off area, cautioning people not to enter.
The storm also caused damage in west and south Lawrence. Lawrence Internal Medicine, 3310 Clinton Parkway, lost an entire section of its roof. The displaced piece landed directly in front of the building. Broken wooden fences were also found on 31st Street and Kasold Street along with broken telephone polls.
Other damage downtown included torn awnings at stores, including Weaver's Department Store, 901 Massachusetts St. Buffalo Wild Wings Bar and Grill, 1012 Massachusettsets St. was one
At Clinton Place Apartments,
2125 Clinton Parkway, hundreds of bricks from the front wall fell onto a parked car, smashing in the hood and windshield. The wall was next to the gas meters, but the bricks missed them.
"It's weird, the wind didn't even move the patio furniture in the back," said Matt Gammill, maintenance supervisor and resident.

Attack comes after announcement of early parliament meeting

BAGHDAD, Iraq — The feared resumption of mass sectarian violence erupted Sunday in a baghdad Shiite slum when bombers blew apart two markets shortly before sundown, killing at least 41 people and wounding about 140.
The bloody assaults on Sadr City came only minutes after Iraqi political leaders said the new parliament will convene Thursday, three days earlier than planned, as the U.S. ambassador pushed to break a stalemate over naming a unity government.
The attackers struck with car bombs, including a suicide driver and mortars at the peak shopping time, destroying dozens of market stalls and vehicles as the explosives ripped through the poor neighborhood as residents were buying food for their evening meals.
Mohaned Ali, 14, Son of Ali Hassan Mashawash cries near the casket of his father as friends and relatives offer prayers before the burial, in Najaf, 160 kilometers (100 miles) south of Baghdad, Iraq. Sunday, Mashawash was the Dean at the Collage of Engineering in Al Mustansaryah University in Baghdad and was kidnapped by unidentified gunmen a week ago. His body was found Sunday near Baghdad, according to his family.
The neighborhood was quickly sealed off by Mahdi Army militiamen of radical anti-American Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sad amid pandemonium as residents searched wildly for survivors and put charred corpses into ambulances and trucks to be taken away.
Smoke billowed into the evening sky and angry young men kicked the decapitated head of the suicide attacker, who appeared to be an African, that lay in the street at a shop door.
The nature of the attack, its use of a suicide bomber, bore the hallmarks of al-Qaida in Iraq, which has said it hoped to start a Shilite-Sunni civil conflict.
Police said they defused a third car bomb, likely preventing an even higher death toll.
Bomb blasts, rocket and gunfire also killed at least 12 other people — 10 in Baghdad — and wounded 34 Sunday.
The low thud of mortar fire periodically rumbled over the city.
The Sadr City bombers struck shortly after U.S. Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad and leaders of Iraq's main ethnic and religious blocs concluded a news

conference to announce agreement to move forward the first session of the new parliament to Thursday.
The political leaders said they would open marathon meetings on Monday in an attempt to reach agreement on a new government. Khalilzad said he would be available to join the talks at any time.
Among the issues to be discussed are how many positions various blocs will get in the new government, which will fill key posts and the government's program of action.
The first parliamentary session will take place three months after Dec. 15 elections and a month after the results were certified. It sets in motion a 60-day deadline for the legislature to elect a new president, approve the nomination of a prime minister and sign off on his Cabinet.
President Jalal Talabani, a Kurd, stood by Shiite leader Adbul-Aziz al-Hakim and other Kurdish, Sunni Arab and secular leaders to make the announcement-
ment.
Khalilzad said a permanent government needed to be in place quickly to fill the "vacuum in authority" at a time of continuing effort by "terrorists to provoke sectarian conflict."
"To deal with the threat, (there is) the need on an urgent basis to form a government of national unity." Khalilzad said.
Al-Hakim, head of the powerful Shiite Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq,
agreed that forming a government was imperative.
"There was a determination from all the leaders to assume their responsibility to deal with this crisis. We have to get Iraq out of the situation it is in now," he said, standing outside Massoud Barzani's Kurdish Democratic Party headquarters.
Formation of a strong central government is key to U.S. hopes to announce troop withdrawals beginning this summer.
Senator proposes Bush be rebuked for wiretapping

BY DOUGLASS K. DANIEL THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — A liberal Democrat and potential White House contender is proposing censuring President Bush for authorizing domestic eavesdropping, saying the White House misled Americans about its legality.
A censure resolution, which simply would scold the presi-
"The president has broken the law and, in some way, he must be held accountable." Sen. Russ Feingold, D-Wis., told The Associated Press in an interview.
Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., called the proposal "a crazy political move"

that would weaken the U.S. during wartime.
The five-page resolution to be introduced on Monday contends that Bush violated the law when, on his own, he set up the eavesdropping program within the National Security Agency in the months following the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
Bush claims that his authority as commander in chief as well as a September 2001 congressional authorization to use force in the fight against terrorism gave him the power to authorize the surveillance.
The White House had no immediate response on Sunday.
The resolution says the president "repeatedly misled the public" before the disclosure of the NSA program last December when he indicated the administration was relying on court orders to wiretap terror suspects
"The president has broken the law and, in some way, he must be held accountable."
inside the U.S.
"Congress has to reassert our system of government, and the cleanest and the most efficient way to do that is to censure the president," Feingold said. "And, hopefully, he will acknowledge that he did something wrong."
The Wisconsin Democrat, considered a presidential contender for 2008, said he had not discussed censure with other senators but that, based on criticism leveled at Bush by both Democrats and Republicans, the resolution makes sense.
Russ Feingold
Sen. D-Wis
The president's action were "in the strike zone" in terms
of being an impeachable offense, Feingold said. The senator questioned whether impeaching Bush and removing him from office
would be good for the country.
In the House, Rep. John Conyers of Michigan, the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, is pushing legislation that would call on the Republican-controlled Congress to determine whether there are grounds for impeachment.
The program granted intelligence officers the power to monitor — without court approval — the international calls and e-mails of U.S. residents, when those officers suspect terrorism may be involved.
Frist, appearing on ABC's "This Week," said that he hoped al-Qaida and other enemies of the U.S. were not listening to the infighting.
"The signal that it sends, that there is in any way a lack of support for our commander in chief who is leading us with a bold vision in a way that is making our homeland safer, is wrong." Frist said.

Mad Cow case unconfirmed
BY LIBBY QUAID
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The Agriculture Department is investigating a possible case of mad cow disease, the agency's chief veterinarian said Saturday.
The cow did not enter the human or animal food chain, Clifford said.
A routine test indicated the possible presence of the disease, said John Clifford, USDA official. The agency would not say where the animal was from.
The department is conducting more detailed tests at its laboratory in Ames, Iowa, and should have results in four to seven days.
"This inconclusive result does not mean we have found a new case of BSE." Clifford
said, giving the abbreviation for the disease's formal name, bovine spongiform encephalopathy.
"Inconclusive results are a normal component of most screening tests, which are designed to be extremely sensitive," he added in a statement.
trol believes the person got the disease while in the United Kingdom.
In response to the first case,
In humans, eating meat products contaminated with mad cow disease has been linked to more than 150 deaths worldwide from variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, a rare and fatal nerve disease.
No one is known to have contracted the disease inside the United States.
This inconclusive result does not mean we have found a new case of BSE. Inconclusive results are a normal component of most screening tests, which are designed to be extremely sensitive."
A majority of the deaths were in Britain, where there was an outbreak of mad cow disease that started in the mid-1980s. There was one case confirmed in the U.S., although the federal Centers for Disease Con-
U. S. government investigators have found two cases of mad cow disease. The first was in December 2003 in a Canadian-born cow in Washington state. The second was last June in a cow that was born and raised in Texas.
John Clifford USDA official
the Agriculture Department increased its level of testing for the disease. As of Friday, 644,603 of the nation's estimated 95 million head of cattle had been tested.
Tests are done on dead animals; there is no test for the disease in a live
cow. The department primarily tests animals that can't walk, have signs of nervous system disorder, are emaciated or injured or that have died. These animals are considered to be at greatest risk of having the disease.
Clifford said the U.S. has "a system of interlocking safeguards" against mad cow disease that protects people and health. The U.S. has a ban on adding remains of dead cattle to feed for live cattle, because eating contaminated feed is how the disease is believed to spread.
The government also requires the removal of tissues known to carry the disease when animals are slaughtered.

Israel seeks U.S. approval of new borders
INTERNATIONAJ
BY MARK LAVIE
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
JERUSALEM Acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert approached the United States with his plan to determine Israel's borders before making it public, an aide said Sunday, reflecting how crucial U.S. support would be for any initiative to separate from the Palestinians.
Ariel Sharon similarly brought the U.S. into the loop early three years ago when he embarked on his historic Gaza Strip pullout. Sharon was felled by a stroke on Jan. 4 and remains in a coma. Olmert, his closest political ally, became acting prime minister.
Olmert's spokesman, Asaf Shariv, said an aide to the acting prime minister presented
the plan to a U.S. official before Olmert disclosed it last week in interviews.
"They neither approved nor obiected to it." Shariv said.
Stewart Tuttle, a U.S. Embassy spokesman, was unable to confirm that the conversation took place.
their present West Bank locations into the larger settlement blocs, and maintain control of the strategic Jordan River valley and Jerusalem holy sites. The plan effectively leaves the rest of the territory for the Palestinians and has energized Israel's election campaign.
In his interviews, Olmert said he planed to move tens of thousands of settlers from
At least tacit U.S. approval would be critical, as the U.S. is Israel's most important ally.

Jayhawks capture title for first time since'99

KANSAN SENIOR SPORTSWITHER
DALLAS - Russell Robinson started moving up the stairs leading to the basketball net and got a little scared. He was afraid of falling. The sophomore guard didn't fall and was able to cut down a piece of the net, an action symbolizing his team capturing the Big 12 title after a 80-68 victory against the Texas Longhorns Sunday at American Airlines Center.
The victory was a fitting end to Kansas' conference season. A team that started three freshmen and two sophomores beat a more experienced Texas team
and responded by dancing on the floor and chanting "Big 12 Champs."
SEE TITLE ON PAGE 6B
"We knew not a lot of people expected us to come out and win today." Robinson said. "We had nothing to lose and everything to gain. We just came out and tried to be aggressive.
"Down the stretch, I just thought we executed and got stops defensively and, of course, rebounded the ball a lot better that we did the first time we played them." Self said.
Freshman guard Mario Chalmers was named the Big 12 tournament MVP, much to
Kansas coach Bill Self described the game as the best his team had played all season.
Freshman forward Julian Wright dazzled the crowd with his no-look passes that ended up as easy buckets for Kansas. He had what Self called the play of the tournament when he stole the ball near midcourt, drove to the basket, jumped from the near the foul line and tomahawked it home for an emphatic dunk.
the delight of his father Ronnie, who pumped his fist when his son accepted a plaque on the floor after the game. Chalmers made 15 points Sunday, most of which came though his accurate three-point shooting. Chalmers made four of his seven three-point attempts.
Hawkins' three-pointers contribute to victory

Senior guard Jeff Hawkins knew exactly whom to thank after his performance in Kansas' 80-68 victory against Texas in the Big 12 Championship game.
Hawkins' weekend was capped when he scored 13 points on 4-5 shooting from three-point distance.
It was teammate Jeremy Case, sophomore guard. Hawkins forgot to bring his ankle braces to Dallas for the tournament and borrowed Case's braces throughout the entire weekend.
three-point shooter and asked to borrow his," Hawkins said. "He said yes. I think I might be to wear them in the NCAA tournament."
Hawkins' first three-point shot came in the first half with Kansas trailing by three points. Freshman guard Mario Chalmers had just connected on a three-point shot and Hawkins made one the next trip down to tie the ball game at 21.
In the second half, Hawkins made three three-point shots. The first came after Texas had gone on an 8-0 run to bring the score to 51-47 in its favor. Hawkins made a three-point shot to cut the lead to one.

DALLAS - I'll admit it. I was wrong.
As fellow KJHK sports staffer Jason Hwang and I watched the Texas-Texas A&M game at Hooters in Dallas, I suggested that it would be better to face the Aggies, as opposed to the Texas Longhorns, on Sunday. My rationale was based on the idea that a potential loss to the Longhorns could be devastating to the young Jayhawks' morale because it would mean they'd lost twice to the only real national title contender they had faced this season.
Jason disagreed and voiced it in a way that only Jason can. After cleaning up the language, it can be boiled down to this: The stronger the team Kansas plays, the more it will benefit. Win or lose.
Sunday's triumph against Texas certainly validates that. In a game that sharply contrasted the last game between the two teams, the Jayhawks showed the Longhorns – and every other team in the NCAA tournament - how they can beat you with stout defense and an efficient offense.
There was senior guard Jeff Hawkins coming off the bench with smothering defense and 4-for-5 shooting from the land of three. There was freshman forward Julian Wright, who took the time in between highlight-reel dunks to throw Texas' Brad Buckman and LaMarcus Aldridge off their games. Aldridge had only five points, shot 1-for-5 from the field on Sunday and was in foul trouble throughout the game. In the 80-55 Texas victory earlier in the season, Aldridge had 18 points and was 9-for-10 from the field.
And who can look past freshman guard and tournament MVP Mario Chalmers? His 16 points and more than five assists per game in the Big 12 Tournament led a balanced offensive attack.
After finishing the season a winner of 16 out of 17 games, a Big 12 Conference regular season co-champion and Big 12 Tournament champion, it's tough to say what the NCAA selection committee was thinking when it gave Kansas a four seed, two seeds lower than the Texas team they just beat.
A tough draw with a possible second-round matchup against Pittsburgh now looms. That's not as daunting a game if Kansas plays like it did against Texas.
Watching the Jayhawks cut down the nets after the game on Sunday, you'd have thought it was the final week of April. But alas, their work isn't done.
Here's hoping they were just practicing their scissor-work for later.

Kansas not planning on first-round freebie
BY RYAN COLIAIANNI
colaiarni@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR SPORTSWRIETER
DALLAS — The most excited Jeff Hawkins got yesterday was probably when he saw himself on television — but not during the KU 80-68 victory against Texas.
It was likely after the game, when CBS announced that Kansas would be playing in Auburn Hills., Mich., against Bradley in the first round of the NCAA tournament on Friday.
Hawkins, senior guard, said that he was excited to go to Auburn Hills, where he had won his first AAU National Championship.
If winning in Auburn Hills worked for Hawkins, he hopes it will rub off on his teammates when they face Bradley, of the Missouri Valley Conference, as the No.4 seed.
"The Valley is a good conference," Hawkins said. "That is about all I can say right now. We didn't know who we were playing, so we really don't have that much information on them. I am sure our coaching staff is going to do a really good job of breaking down how they play."
Hawkins said that he didn't know much about Friday's opponent, but said that his teammates would not look past Bradley.
Kansas coach Bill Self said that
he expected his team to know Bradley inside and out when it takes the floor on Friday.
Self said Kansas could have been seeded higher. He said he thought the tournament selection committee made up its mind on his team's seed before the Jayhawks defeated Texas on Sunday.
The KU victory against Texas
ended less than an hour before the committee released the tournament brackets.
"We don't worry about seeds, right now, we just worry about what we need to do to win," Hawkins said. "We take it day by day."

Despite leading No. 3 Clemson by a pair of runs in the middle of the series finale, the Kansas baseball team lost the series on Sunday.
Clemson (10-3) defeated Kansas (15-6) 4-3.
P. S. K. M.
Each team came into Sunday's final game with a victory apiece. Neither team managed to score in the first four innings.
Sophomore third baseman Erik Morrison broke the scoring drought in the top of the fifth. His two-run home run, which followed a single by sophomore outfielder John Allman, put Kansas on the board for the first time in the series.
The Tigers crept their way back into the game, similar to the Jayhawks did on Saturday. Clemson put a run up in the bottom half of the fifth, cutting the Kansas lead in fifth.
Third baseman Herman Demink ied the Tigers at the plate, going 3-for-3 with a pair of RBI. When called upon in clutch occasions, Demink stepped up, knocking in runs in the fifth and the seventh to tie the game at two.
In the end, the Tigers wouldn't need bats to earn the series victory.
"It feels great to come in and win on the road with an atmosphere like this. There's more than 5,000 people in the stands—that's a great college venue."
er Ryotaro Hayakawa hit and walked two Clemson batters before senior closer Don Czyz was summoned to the mound.
With eight saves on the season, Czyz wasn't his typical dominant self. Clemson's DJ Mitchell scored on Czyz's first wild pitch and Ben Hall scored on his second.
Without a single hit in the bottom of the eighth inning, Clemson scored the winning runs, putting them up 4-2 with three outs left to play.
On the mound, senior pitcher Kodiak Quick (3-1) received the no-decision for Kansas after seven innings, during which where he scattered 11 hits, but surrendered only two runs. Because Quick came out with the game tied at 2, he received the no-decision.
Ritch Price Kansas baseball coach
Freshman lefty Andy Marks (1-1) came in to start the eighth. Despite facing just one batter, Marks took the loss as he walked right fielder
Travis Storrer, for what turned out to be the winning run. He was replaced for Hayakawa. Kansas pushed for another come-from-behind victory in the top of the ninth. Allman grounded out to second to score senior first baseman Jared Schweitzer, but the rally ended there.
Saturday: Kansas 5. Clemson 4.
A University of Kansas family connection and a pivotal home run put Kansas past Clemson on Saturday, the only Kansas victory of the series.
Don Czyz (2-0) relieved a brief Nick Czyz outing and proceeded to shut down Clemson's offense to earn the victory. Freshman first baseman Preston Land used only his seventh start of the season to his advantage. He hit the game-winning home run in the eighth to give Kansas its final lead of the day.
More than 5,000 fans watched
the Jayhawks battle back from a 4-0 deficit built in the first inning. A Morrison error in the first opened the doors for four unearned runs to score.
Kansas came back and won 6-5.
Kansas coach Ritch Price said his team had no room for such errors, but acknowledged the feeling he had for the victory.
"It feels great to come in and win on the road with an atmosphere like this," Price said. "There's more than 5,000 people in the stands — that's a great college venue."
After Kansas allowed four runs in the top of the first, the team did not score until the fourth inning. Sophomore designated hitter Brock Simpson singled to knock in senior infielder Jared Schweitzer to cut the Clemson lead to 4-1.
Although a pair of stellar defensive efforts had Morrison on his way to redemption from his errors, a two-run double in the top of the seventh smoothed over any first inning remnants. It gave Kansas its first lead of the afternoon, 5-4.
In Clemson's half of the seventh, Ricky Fairchild finally tired. He surrendered the lead and a two-run home run to Clemson's Ben Hall. Nick Czzy
was then called upon to pick up an out before his older brother Don came in to close the game.
Land took the lead back for good the next inning. His solo shot put Kansas up 6-5, all it would need to take care of Clemson.
Friday: Clemson 7, Kansas 2
Clemson jumped out to an early 4-0 lead by the end of the third inning.
Kansas snapped its eight-game win streak in front of more than 4,000 fans against No. 3 Clemson on Friday. The Tigers defeated the Jayhawks, 7-2.
Clemson's duo of Herman Demmink and Taylor Harbin led the Clemson offense, combining for five of Clemson's 12 hits.
Junior pitcher Sean Land (4-2) could not keep runners off the base paths. Price said the starter was pitching was out with a chest cold.
"The one thing he did do was battle," Price said. "That wasn't the normal Sean Land today."
At the plate, Kansas was dormant. After Morrison walked in the second inning, the Jayhawks failed to put another man on base until the seventh inning

Four Missouri Valley teams to go dancing
BY STEVE BRISENDINE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WICHITA — The Missouri Valley Conference landed four teams in the NCAA tournament Sunday, one more than the conference's previous record.
But one team that had expected a bid — Missouri State, with the conference's highest RPI rating — was left out.
The highest NCAA seeding
went to the regular-season champion, Wichita State. The Shockers, making their first appearance in the tournament since 1988, are seeded seventh in the Washington Regional.
They will meet 10th-seeded Seton Hall on Thursday in Greensboro, N.C.
Northern Iowa is seeded 10th in the Minneapolis regional, taking on seventh-seeded Georgetown on Friday in Dayton, Ohio. The Panthers helped their case with quality nonconference wins over Iowa and Louisiana State.
Mich
Southern Illinois, the conference tournament champion, went from a bubble team to an automatic qualifier. The Salukis are seeded 11th in the Atlanta Regional and play sixth-seeded West Virginia on Thursday in Auburn Hills,
Bradley also will play Friday at Auburn Hills in the Oakland Regional. The Braves are seeded 13th in the Oakland regional, and will face fourth-seeded Kansas.
Missouri State failed to get a bid despite a No. 21 RPI rating. Creighton, which had shaky NCAA hopes with a No. 42 RPI, also is headed for a likely NIT bid.
FOOTBALL Morning storms cause football practice delay
The Kansas football team canceled its open football practice Sunday afternoon following the damaging morning storms in Lawrence.
The workout was rescheduled for tomorrow at 3:30 p.m.
It is open to the public.
The athletics department will announce the location sometime tomorrow.

Storms cause players to flee courts
Kansas plays well in doubles but falls short by end of the day
BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
The Kansas tennis team topped Oklahoma State in doubles play, but after a weather delay Oklahoma State ultimately prevailed. 4-3.
Sunday's Big 12 match up between the Jayhawks and Cowpairs
was originally scheduled for 11 a.m. at the Robinson Courts. However, the morning's unsavory conditions forced the teams to take to the indoor courts located at First Serve Tennis. 5200 Clinton Parkway.
Soon after the day's doubles matches ended, tornado warnings forced the teams to flee the oncoming storm and take refuge in Allen
Despite the fact that the competition began about 45 minutes late, Kansas started strong. Kansas won two of the six matches with Liza Deveva defeating Oklahoma State's Zana Mascie 6-1,7-5. Sophomore Stephanie Smith defeated Jessica Collins 3-6,6-1,6-4. Oklahoma State won the four remaining singles matches.

In the No. 2 match, Kansas pitted sophomore Lauren Hommell and freshman Edina Horvath against Oklahoma State's Zana Massic and Yawna Allen. The match came down to the wire, as the Cowgirls triumphed 8-7.
and junior Brittany Brown easily handled the Cowgirls' duo of Lauren Simmons and Zuzanna Osinska, winning 8-4 in a match that seemed easy for the lawvahs.
Fieldhouse until further notice. Kansas won the doubles matches.
In the aftemoon's marque match up, sophomore Liza Avdee-
va and freshman Ksenia Bukina of Kansas defeated Iryna Tkachenko and Marta Tsvika to complete the Kansas sweep.
The Jawahra struggled in the early-going, falling behind 1-3, but went on a series of memorable runs to even the match. Needing just one more point to win, Bulkina fired a blazing serve past both onlooking Cowgirls that won the match with an ace.

NCAA MEN'S BASKETBALL
Wichita State shocks history with solid bid
BY STEVE BRISENDINE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WICHITA — After three straight NIT bids, Wichita State has its first NCAA tournament berth in 18 years.
The Shockers (24-8), regularseason champions of the Missouri Valley Conference, were selected Sunday as the No. 7 seed in the Washington Regional. They will face 10th-seeded Seton Hall (18-11) on Thursday in Greensboro, N.C.
Wichita State last's NCAA appearance was in 1988, a first-round loss to DePaul.
"This is something we've talked about all year, leaving our footprints in the sands of time, as coach says," senior center Paul Miller said. "It's something I know I'm proud of, to finally get to the NCAA tournament. That's something we came here to do, and it will be nice to hang that banner up there."
Despite Wichita State's loss in the semifinals of the Valley tournament, coach Mark Turgeon said he expected to be in the top half of the bracket.
"I thought we were in, but it
was a little nerve-wracking when we didn't come up the first couple of brackets," Turgeon said. "Then, to get the respect that we got, with that seven seed, that was where I thought we would be."
Wichita State failed to get an NCAA bid last year despite its second straight 20-win season, but left little doubt this year by winning its first conference title since 1987. This is the eighth appearance in the tournament for the Shockers, who made it to the Final Four in 1965.
Flying through the clouds
"We're going to take great pride in this," senior guard Cameron Ledford said. "The whole city of Wichita is, too. But it's not just us. This is what Coach Turgeon has been building since he stepped on campus."
George Long/KANSAN
And though they might have disappointed his team at the time, Turgeon said, the NIT bids helped the Shockers in the end.
"I never tried to look at the NIT as a negative," he said. "It's not easy to get into the postseason, but this (NCAA bid) is what the kids want, what the coaches want, what the fans want and what the alumni want."

Classic clinched with back nine shots
PALM BEACH GARDENS,
Fla. — Luke Donald was the last
player on the driving range Sunday
afternoon, grinning after a
series of perfect shots.
He flashed a bigger smile walking up the 18th fairway five hours later, knowing he was about to win the Honda Classic.
Donald used back-to-back birdies midway through his back nine to take the outright lead at 11 under, made a great scrambling par on the difficult 16th to preserve the margin and held off Geoff Ogilvy by two shots for his second career PGA Tour victory.
A 3-under final round of 69 was good enough for the Englishman, who hadn't won on tour since the 2002 Southern Farm Bureau Classic and pocketed a winner's check of $990,000. He made a 10-foot birdie putt at the 13th and a 25-footer on the 14th for the lead, then holed a slippery 18-footer to save par on the 16th.
All that, followed by an approach to about 4 feet for a final birdie on 18, was good enough to hold off a field that remained tightly bunched all day.
"I knew if I just played Luke Donald golf, it'd be good enough," Donald said. "It's nice to finish with a great shot like that."
Ogilvy shot a 69 to cap his wild week, featuring one double eagle, three eagles and three double bogeys. It was nearly enough to win his second straight start; after taking only one victory in his first 133 PGA Tour events, he won two weeks ago at the Match Play Championship.

To enter, students should go online to www.kuathletics.com and click on "Student Tickets" under the ticketing portion of the Web site. Follow the prompts given there.
KU students wanting to watch the Kansas men's basketball NCAA tournament games in person need to act fast. Students must enter a lottery for the chance to win tickets.

There is a $1 fee for entering, but that fee is refunded if the student is not selected to receive tickets. There is a limit of one ticket per student.
There will be three separate

Marchiony also said not going to the tournament would not mean students were bad fans; sometimes, it's just out of their control.
If selected, students have until noon on Tuesday to confirm their selection. Any cancellations must be made by 5 p.m. that same day.
Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said he expected a large amount of students to try to get tickets.

KISSIMMEE, Fla. — Edgar Renteria looks at home back in the National League.
Renteria, who left the St. Louis Cardinals as a free agent after the 2004 season for the Boston Red Sox, led the Atlanta Braves to a 4-3 win over the Cardinals on Sunday, getting two hits and three RBIs, including a two-run homer.
Renteria at home with Braves
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
"I just want to get a ring," said Renteria, who was with the world champion Florida Marlins in 1997. "It feels like I was always meant to play here."
After a difficult year with the Red Sox, Rentera said he feels comfortable with the Braves.
Renteria struggled to a career high in errors, 30 last season, and his fewest number of homers with eight, since 1998. Critics said Renteria had a hard time dealing with the constant scrutiny that comes with playing for the Red Sox.
"I never got booed before and I didn't know how to deal with that," Renteria said. "I don't have anything to prove."
Renteria feels he has been hitting the ball as well as he was in 2004, but the hits haven't been falling in. Braves manager Bobby Cox said he wasn't concerned, after Renteria's performance moved his spring hitting average to 294.
He's hitting the ball better
than anybody in this camp," Cox said. "We are thrilled to have him here. He's slugging the ball and doing great things in the middle of the infield, but I've seen him do those things a million times."
Chuck James started for the Braves and allowed two runs in three innings. James, not a strong candidate to make the Braves' rotation this season, fell into a 2-0 hole in the third inning when Chris Duncan
singled in a run and So Taguchi knocked in Jeff Suppan to give the Cardinals a 2-0 lead. Suppan went four innings for the Cardinals, allowing one run on four hits. The Braves scored when Renteria came home on a double play. The Braves scored three runs in the fifth, capped by Renteria's two-run home run off Brandon Looper. Sean White pitched two scoreless innings to close out the game for the Braves.
Center fielder Andruw Jones was a late scratch for the Braves. Jones injured his back in Puerto Rico on Thursday while participating for the Netherlands in the World Baseball Classic. Jones was taking photos in the dugout when he slipped and injured himself. Cox said Jones is day to day, but the injury isn't serious.

That dunk gave Kansas a four-point lead, and from that point on, it was all Kansas. The Jayhawks were avenging their 25-point loss to Texas a few weeks ago.
Chalmers showed emotion on the floor after he hit a three-pointer and followed that shot with a steal that he drove the other way to the basket before being fouled. A media time-out was called and Chalmers threw his arms in the air trying to get the Kansas faithful on their feet.
Wright joined Chalmers on the all-tournament team, proving that the Kansas freshmen have grown since their early struggles.
"We were able to just bounce back from when we were 1-2 and look at us now,
Wright's dunk wasn't the only highlight play — he capped his game with a 360-degree dunk in the final seconds that sealed the victory. He also passed the ball exceptionally well, specifically to sophomore center Sasha Kaun. Wright finished the game with four assists and 12 points.
"Every time we made a run, they made plays to get back in it. We knew it was going to be a dog fight. Down the stretch we got some key stops," Robinson said.
we just try to, you know, listen to coach Self and coaching staff and try to get better day by day," Wright said.
The game was a three-point barrage in the first half, with Texas and Kansas combining for 11 three-point shots in the half.
Despite the game featuring a team that is just three hours
Texas' star center LaMarcus Aldridge was a non-factor during the game, scoring just five points and playing 28 minutes because of foul trouble. The last time the two teams met, Aldridge dominated, scoring 18 points.
Freshman guard Brandon Rush hit his first two three-point shots but then went cold, missing his next five shots. Rush finished with 12 points on four of 14 shooting, but the victory was what was most important to Rush.
driving distance from Dallas, the American Airlines Center was just three-quarters full and the arena lacked atmosphere all week.
"It feels great. It feels good right now." Self said. "We finally proved to people that we can win a tough game."

Selecting one MVP proves to be impossible
Cheers to the KU guards. Not even a gash to the face could slow Robinson down this weekend. He had 22 assists during the tournament and scored 13 and 14 points in the final two games respectively. But most of all, he's the leader of this team.

No one plays harder.
Chalmers led the team in scoring during the tournament, averaging 16 points per game. He plays fearless and he is the man that Kansas looks to when it needs a big shot now — not freshman guard Brandon Rush.
MVP of Big 12 Tournament: In an effort to imitate the so-called bracketology experts, who think 176 teams will make the tournament, I'm not picking just one MVP I just can't do it. Mario Chalmers, Julian Wright, Russell Robinson and Jeff Hawkins are all just too good. I think they can share the honor.
Cheers to Kansas coach Bill Self. Self transformed the baby Jayhawks into a team nobody wants to see in March. Self should be the national coach of the year. Kansas breezed through the Big 12 Tournament like a senior-laden team who had been there before, and they definitely haven't.
Cheers to Darnell Jackson, who had his best game of his career against Nebraska — 13 points and 10 rebounds. But Jackson's best contribution was backing up Hawkins after Hawkins got fouled hard against Oklahoma State. Jackson is this team's enforcer. And that moment showed how tightly-knit these guys are. That closeness is something last year's team didn't have.
him called a few nicknames this season, but we might as well starting callight Wright Mr. Top 10, because that's where he belongs. In the Texas game, Wright made his own highlight reel and tore up Texas' 2-3 zone with his passing ability. His left-handed, 360 dunk at the end of the game should be a staple on the pregame video at games next year. His line against Texas wasn't bad either - 12 points, 4 assists, 4 steals and 6 rebounds.
Mr. Top 10: The Raptor, the Spider, the Elastic Man. I've heard
Cheers to Hawkins. I've been a critic of him, but he has showed up to play lately. His four three-pointers in the finals were huge and timely. Hawkins knows his role and I take back everything bad I've said about him this year – well, most of it.
Jeers to the announcers at the Big 12 tournament. Fred White called Brandon Rush Jaron multiple times in the Oklahoma State game. And Ron Franklin and Fran Fraschilla also had problems in the name game. Darnell Jackson got called Darnell Robinson by Franklin and Mario Jackson by Fraschilla.
Jeers to Dallas. The Big 12 Tournament belongs in Kansas City. Dallas showed no one cares about basketball in Texas by not attending the games. There wert less people in the audience that a well-attended K-State game.
Self knows a lot about Bradley because he coached in the same state when he was at Illinois.
Tournament CONTINUED FROM PAGE 18
Hawkins said that the players weren't disappointed and were just happy to see their names on the screen while they watched the selection show while in Dallas.
"I know they know their ball there." Self said. "It is a very tough first-round match-up. Whichever team, Bradley or
Sophomore center CJ Giles said he hoped the team would travel to San Diego so he could play closer to his hometown of Seattle.
Kansas is in the bracket with No. 1-seed Memphis, which likely was the weakest of the four No. 1-seeds; other No. 1-seeds included Duke, Connecticut and Villanova. Should Kansas beat Bradley, it would likely face No. 5-seed Pittsburgh in the next round.
ourselves is fortunate enough to advance, you definitely got a tough five seed."
"If you based it on seeds, I felt like we deserved a three," Self said. "How could we get a three, because it had to be done before the game is over?
"That is one of the unfortunate things of playing the late game," he said. "Based on our circumstances, we should be pleased with our seed."
Kansas fell in the first round of the tournament last year to No.14-seed Bucknell.
"I know our approach needs to be a lot better than it was last year going in to the tournament," Self said.
The Jayhawks, who are coming off a Big 12 regular season and Big 12 Tournament championship, will need to change their mindset going into the tournament. Self said.
---
The Big 12 got four teams into the NCAA tournament: Kansas, Texas, Texas A&M and Oklahoma. Self said that there were only four teams in the Big 12 that deserved to play in the NCAA tournament.

Texas forward PJ Tucker tries to get a shot at the basket as Kansas CJ Giles and Brandon Rush defend in the first half in the Big 12 Men's Championship basketball game, Sunday in Dallas.
Key plays:
Kansas has improved to 13-1 since freshmen Julian Wright, Brandon Rush and Mario Chalmers have started games.
— Ryan Colaianni
Sophomore guard Russell Robinson had 22 assists during the three-game tournament.
- Freshman guard Mario Chalmers averaged 16 points per game during the three-game tournament and was the first KU player since former guard Jeff Boschee to win the MVP award.
Kansas scored on back-to-back possessions early in the first half, thanks to crisp passing by freshman forward Julian Wright. Wright fed sophomore center Sasha Kaun for easy dunks on both possessions.
Kaun got a nice pass from senior guard Jeff Hawkins midway through the first half, and he proceeded to dunk it over Texas' Brad Buckman, who also was whistled for the foul.
Freshman guard Brandon Rush took a change late in the second half with Kansas down one. Kansas coach Bill Self responded to that play by pumping his fist.
Chalmers hit two three-point shots to start the second half to give Kansas a five point lead. Texas responded and took the lead back a few minutes later.
Texas took a four-point lead via an 8-0 run midway through the second half. Kansas responded with three-point shots from Hawkins and Chalmers to tie the game.
Texas scored just three points during a five-minute stretch late in the second half to help Kansas take the lead and notch the victory.
Ryan Colaiani
Basketball notes:
Kansas 12 three-point shots made on Sunday set a Big 12 Tournament record.
Kansas reached the 25-win plateau with the victory on Sunday. The 25 victories are the most since the 2003 season, when Kansas reached the national championship game.
Kansas' tournament title is its fourth in the 10-year history of the Big 12 Conference.

Sophomore guard Russell Robinson made a three on the next possession to give Kansas a two-point advantage.
"I just kind of lost myself into the game," Hawkins said. "I can't remember where I shot the ball at. I can't tell you that, I kind of erased that from my memory and put it all into the celebration."
After Texas forward PJ Tucker made two free throws, Hawkins grabbed an offensive rebound and dished to Robinson who was fouled and made two free throws. Texas answered and went back up one point at 61-60.
Hawkins wasn't done making big shots. Again, with Kansas trailing by two points and Texas on a 4-0 run, Hawkins made another three-point shot to give Kansas the lead.
Hawkins then made his final three-point shot of the game to give Kansas a 63-61 lead. Kansas didn't trail the remainder of the game.
"I have a lot of confidence in him right now," Self said. "When another

team plays zone, Hawkins becomes very, very valuable and Texas played a lot of zone which allowed him to get some shoulder squared jumpers. Fortunately for us, he made them. He played very well the entire three day weekend."
Hawkins said it was especially gratifying for him to have such a good weekend after the problems he had had in his five years at Kansas. Hawkins was suspended last season before the season began for behavior issues and was involved in a incident this year when he was in a car accident at a McDonald's.
"I know I have some critics, and I probably deserve them," Hawkins said. "People make mistakes, and I just try to learn from them."
Hawkins was the last player to cut down the net after Kansas' championship victory and was still wearing it around his neck in the locker room.
Fellow senior Christian Moody, forward, said he was proud of Hawkins for coming up so big in the game.
"Jeff has stepped up incredibly," Moody said. "He has been through a ton with coach and a lot of other people. I'm so proud of him. He always has such a good attitude and is a great leader for this team."

Weekend's wrap-up
Big 12 Tournament inspired physical contests
The Kansas guards were electric in the second half. Sophomore guard Russell Robinson scored 13 points on 5-7 shooting, dished out four assists and didn't turn the ball over once. His final stat line read 13 points, eight assists and four rebounds while also picking up two steals.
KANSAS 79 NEBRASKA 65
DALLAS — The victory on Saturday against Nebraska came in front of quiet crowd. Few of the Texas and Texas &M fans who were in attendance for Texas' victory earlier stayed for the game.
The game had little flow, with the two teams combining for 40 fouls and shooting 39 free throws. The victory was Kansas' third against Nebraska this season.
Robinson wasn't the only Kansas guard to have a solid game against Nebraska. Freshman guard Mario Chalmerns scored 18 points, had seven assists and grabbed six rebounds. Opposite of Robinson, Chalmerns did most of his damage in

the first half.
DALLAS — Both Kansas and Oklahoma State played physical basketball for the entire game. This was evidenced when sophomore guard Russell Robinson caught an elbow from Oklahoma State's JamesOn Curry, which created a gash above his left eye. He missed the next two minutes of the game while he was being patched up. The gash required seven stitches.
"That was obviously a huge factor when we weren't guarding like we normally guard, at least in my opinion, to get out to a lead because we made shots," Self said. "We didn't play a lot better than Nebraska, we just made shots. Certainly that cures a lot ofills."
Daniel Berk
"I knew it was an aggressive play on his part," Robinson said. "As soon as I saw the blood I said, 'oh man.' Luckily the trainer was able to get it patched up."
KANSAS 63 OKLAHOMA STATE 62
If Curry had not swung his elbows the play would have probably resulted in a steal, Robinson said.
Robinson may have only scored five points on two of 10 shooting, but it was the other things that he got done that helped his team to victory. Robinson had eight assists and had seven steals.
"He was great defensively," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "Russell is a competitor. He goes 2-of-10 and you could say he had the best stat line of the game."
The physical play summed up the game,with each team trying to do whatever it could to get an advantage.
"We needed to come here and have to fight and scratch and claw," Self said, "because we only had in league play, three games decided by single digits. We need to grind out some wins. That was a grind there."

BOSTON — Paul Pierce scored 36 points, Wally Szczerbiak added 18, and the Boston Celtics snapped the Denver Nuggets' four-game winning streak with a 106-101 victory Sunday night.

Carmelo Anthony then missed a layup on the Nuggets' possession, and Pierce iced the game for Boston with a bank shot from just inside the 3-point line.
West, who returned to the lineup after missing three games with a strained right groin, had 12 points and five assists. Gomes added 11 points and 11 rebounds and the Celtics improved to 9-5 with him in the starting lineup.

Jimmie Johnson takes it to the wire
BY MIKE HARRIS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAS VEGAS — Jimmie Johnson took advantage of a laterra caution flag Sunday at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, catching and passing Matt Kenseth in a two-lap overtime sprint to the finish in the NASCAR Nextel Cup UAW-DaimlerChrysler 400.
Johnson's No. 48 Chevrolet surged past Kenseth's No. 17 Ford on the outside after the two sped side-by-side through the third and fourth turns on the 1.5-mile oval for the final time. The winner crossed by finish line 0.115 seconds _ about half a car-length _ ahead as he led a lap for the only time in the 271-lap event.
It was Johnson's second straight win here, but this one was a lot harder than 2005 when he led 107 laps.
"That was so much fun," Johnson said. "I knew if I could get to his outside and get around him I knew the car was going to drive good. I just, didn't want to push the issue. Then they had that green-white-checker at the end."
It appeared through most of the race that Kenseth was going to get an easy win after being handed a victory two weeks ago in California when front-runners Greg Biffle and Tony Stewart succumbed to late-race engine problems.

Johnson is off to a great start in 2006, winning the Daytona 500 and finishing second in California before taking his 20th career win on Sunday. And he's doing it without crew chief Chad Knaus, banned by NASCAR for the first four races of the season after making unapproved modifications to Johnson's car in Daytona qualifying.

After getting out of the car, Kenseth said, "Nobody likes to run second. We led all day. ... If I tried any harder, we were going to wreck. I just got beat."
Local boy Kyle Busch, who ran second to Johnson last year, finished third, followed by Kasey Kahne, Jeff Gordon and Mark Martin.
A dejected Kenseth told him crew by radio his engine didn't feel strong for the restart, but he was able to hold off Johnson for a lap and a half after the green flag waved for the final time on lap 270.

Team USA clinches opener Controversial call in eighth inning may have had critical impact 67 pitch ter a k
ANAHEIM, Calif. — Alex Rodriguez came through with the winning hit for the United States after Japan appeared to get the short end of a controversial call.
Rodriguez hit a bases-loaded, two-out single in the ninth Sunday to give Team USA a 4-3 victory in the opener of Round 2 in the inaugural World Baseball Classic.
Vernon Wells opened the ninth with his third hit, and Randy Winn sacrificed, but reached first when second baseman Tsuyoshi Nishioka drew an error for coming off the base while catching third baseman Akinori Iwamura's throw.
Kyuji Fujikawa threw out Wells at third on Michael Young's attempted sacrifice, and Derek Jeter was hit by a pitch to load the bases.
Ken Griffey struck out before Rodriguez appeared to be jammed on a 1-1 pitch, but his grounder got past Fujikawa and Nishioka's sliding attempt behind second was unsuccessful.
The run was unearned because of Nishioka's error. Rodriguez went 2-for-5, making him 7-of-14 in the Classic.
An announced crowd of 32,896 attended the opener of Round 2. Mexico and South Korea were scheduled to meet later Sunday at Angel Stadium, where single games will be played Monday through Thursday to complete the second round.
Japan appeared to take a 4-3 lead off Joe Nathan in the eighth when Iwamura flied to the left with one out and the bases loaded. Nishioka beat Winn's throw home, and second base umpire Brian Knight ruled safe when Team USA appealed the play. But plate umpire Bob Davidson
overruled the call following a brief discussion with the other umpires.
It didn't seem Nishioka left early on the television replay, and Japan manager Sadaharu Oh argued to no avail.
Japan loaded the bases in the ninth on three walks before winner Brad Lidge, Team USA's sixth pitcher, struck out Hiyoshi Tamura to end the inning.
The fans began a "USA! USA!" chant for the first time in the game with one out and one on in the sixth, and Derrek Lee responded a few pitches
later by hitting a 3-1 delivery from Naoyuki Shimizu over the left-center field fence to tie the game 3-3.
Shimizu was called twice for going to his mouth while on the mound an automatic ball shortly before Lee connected. The first
came before a 2-1 pitch to Chipper Jones, who walked, and the second prior to the first pitch to Lee.
Japan robbed the Americans of at least three hits, with first baseman Michihairo Ogasawara and third baseman lwamura diving to keep grounders in the infield, and shortstop Munenori Kawasaki making an over-the-shoulder catch of a blooper hit by Ken Griffey.
Ichiro Suzuki, not known for his power, hit Jake Peavy's third pitch of the game into the right-field bleachers to give Japan a 1-0 lead.
Japan made it 3-0 in the second on a two-out, two-run single by Munenori Kawasaki, the No. 9 hitter in the lineup. Jones led off the bottom half by hitting a 3-1 pitch from Koji Uehara into the right-center field seats for his second WBC homer, making it 3-1.
Peavy, who worked three scoreless innings in Team USA's 2-0 first-round victory over Mexico, gave up three runs and five hits in five innings. He used
Euharah allowed seven hits and one run in five innings, using 75 pitches. The pitch count is up to 80 from 65 in the first round.
The Americans threatened in the first when Young reached base on second baseman Nishioka's throwing error, and Jeter beat out a bunt. But Uehara threw a called third strike past Griffey and Rodriguez grounded into a double play.

Dolphins search for a quarterback
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Miami Dolphins stepped up their search for a new quarterback on the opening day of free agency Saturday, meeting with Drew Brees in Birmingham, Ala., while also considering a trade for Daunte Culpepper.
There's competition with the Dolphins for both quarterbacks, said a person involved in negotiations, who didn't want to be identified because the team has been tight-tipped about its personnel plans.
But the Dolphins clearly are interested in a replacement for Gus Frerotte, even though Brees and Culpepper are coming off significant injuries.
Brees tore the labrum and damaged the rotator cuff in his throwing shoulder in the Chargers' final game last season and underwent surgery Jan. 5. Culpepper was a three-time Pro Bowl selection for Minnesota, but played poorly last season before tearing three ligaments in his right knee in a game Oct. 30.
While the Dolphins were trying to figure out what direction to take, many other teams were busy signing players. Among the biggest deals:
—Denver re-signed defensive end Gerald Warren to a six-year deal, and also kept running
back Ron Dayne and long snapper Mike Leach.
—DeShaun Foster agreed to a three-year, $14.5 million contract with the Carolina Panthers that finally makes him their star running back.
—Free agent safety Marlon McCree left Carolina to agree to a five-year, $16 million deal with San Diego. McCree will make $6 million in bonuses and guaranteed money in the first two years of the deal.
The San Francisco 49ers traded leading receiver Brandon Lloyd to Washington for the Redskins' third-round pick this year and their fourth-round selection in 2007. They also resigned kicker Joe Nedley.
The Browns were busy revamping their offense, signing center LeCharles Bentley, left tackle Kevin Shaffer and receiver Ioe Ieeviusic.
The Vikings signed running back Chester Taylor, kicker Ryan Longwell and linebacker Ben Leber after retaining receiver Koren Robinson and safety Willie Offord.
Six-time Pro Bowl fullback Mike Alstott, agreed to a one-year contract with Tampa Bay, the only pro team he's played for.
But where Brees and Culpepper land are two of the biggest question marks of the early free agency period.
Miami coach Nick Saban and general manager Randy Mueller flew to Birmingham, where Brees has been rehabilitating his surgically repaired right shoulder. He went 20-11 the past two seasons for San Diego, but when contract talks with the Chargers stalled, they agreed to let him test the market. New Orleans also was believed to be pursuing Brees.
Vikings coach Brad Childress said they are in talks to trade Culbeenper.
Culpepper has been at odds with the Vikings over his 10-year, $102 million contract and wants to be traded. There has been speculation that Oakland, Baltimore, St. Louis and Arizona also are interested.
The Dolphins declined to comment, but it's clear their top priority is to upgrade the quarterback position, where Frerotte started last season. He's still on the roster, but may be released or return as a backup in 2006.
Warren joined the Broncos last season and had 44 tackles, three sacks and three pass breakups. His play was a marked improvement from his stint in Cleveland, where he never lived up to high expectations after being taken third overall in 2001.
Foster spent most of the last three seasons playing in the shadow of Stephen Davis.
to terms with defensive tackle Maake Kemoeatu, who spent the past four seasons with the Baltimore Ravens. Kemoeatu agreed to a five-year deal worth $23 million, including $8 million in bonus money.
Bentley and Jurevicius grew up in Cleveland, rooting for the city's beleaguered NFL team.
"I can die happy now," said Bentley, who wore a Brown's jersey under his sports coat. "This has been my dream."
The Panthers also agreed
Bentley, who played the past four seasons for New Orleans, brings toughness, size and experience to the Browns' offensive line, which has been both inept and ignored by the team in recent years. His six-year deal is reportedly worth $36 million and includes $12.5 million in guarantees.
Jurevicius, who got a four-year deal, has played in three Super Bowls, including last season's for the Seattle Seahawks. The 31-year-old gives the Brown's dependable receiver to complement Braylon Edwards.
Lloyd was a restricted free agent for the 49ers, who drafted him in the third round three years ago. He was San Francisco's top receiver last season, catching 48 passes for 733 yards and five touchdowns for the NFL's worst offense, but alienated teammates and clashed with Mike Nolan's new coaching staff.
Alstott is the Bucs' career touchdowns leaders with 68, and his 4,917 yards rush rank second in club history. The Bucs also-re-signed defensive tackle Chris Hovan.
The St. Louis Rams inked free-agent safety Corey Chavous to a five-year contract, hoping to strengthen a defense that ranked 30th in the NFL last season. Chavous, an eight-year veteran, spent the last four seasons with Minnesota.
In other moves Saturday:
Defensive tackle Larry Trippelt and tight end Robert Royal signed with the Buffalo Bills as the team wasted no time addressing its numerous needs. Also, Eric Moulds' future could be determined by early next week after the veteran star receiver had a series of discussions with the team.
The Arizona Cardinals signed free-agent defensive tackle Kendrick Clancy to a four-year contract. Clancy played in all 16 games last season for the New York Giants, making 39 tackles, two sacks, forcing two fumbles and recovering one fumble.
Conference Land Athletics
- Defensive end Aaron Kampman signed a contract extension with the Green Bay Packers.
— The Jaguars signed free-agent cornerback Brian Williams.
TRACK Runner earns school's first championship
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Kansas State distance runner Christian Smith captured the school's first national championship since 1993 when he won the men's mile at the NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships on Saturday.
Smith, a senior from Garfield, Kan., began pulling away during the final three laps of the eight-lap race. He finished in a time of 4:12.75, becoming the third Wildcat to be a four-time indoor All-American.
"I have been thinking about this race for quite a while," said Smith, who held off a late charge from Said Ahmed of Arkansas. "I saw the opening and I went for it."
Smith led the men's team to an 11th-place finish, its best since 1993. Earlier in the year, he broke a 20-year-old national record in the men's 1,000-meter run. He also won his third straight Big 12 title in the 1,000

Cost of damages in
First estimate adds up to millions of dollars
BY FRED A. DAVIS III

KANSAN STUDIO WRITER
Six million dollars. That was the estimated dollar amount of damage caused to the KU campus at the hands of Sunday's microburst.
University officials estimated the amount Monday. Officials said that there were still parts of the campus left to be assessed for damage as of Monday and that the $6 million figure is not final.
As for who will foot the bill to repair the damages, that will be divided between federal and state monies. How much each entity will have to pony up rein Lawrence have been made an important priority. We'll make sure

split, with the federal authorities covering up to 75 percent of the damages to the disaster area.
The remaining 25 percent is generally left to local authorities, such as the county, to cover damages.
In the University's case, the state will be responsible for the damages incurred to the campus because it is state-owned. Douglas County was declared a state disaster area Sunday by the Douglas County Commission.
Of course, there is no guarantee that federal aid will cover the full 75 percent, said Paula Phillips, Douglas County Emergency Management director.
Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, in a press conference Monday morning said, "Repairs in Lawrence have been made an important priority. We'll make sure that Lawrence stays high on the radar screen."
Concerning the state's position,
The governor's press secretary, Nicole Corcoran, said that it was likely a Governor's Budget Amendment would be proposed to cover the cost of repairs to the University — once the final damage estimations are made.
Corcoran added that the State Finance Council could release money from the State Emergency Fund, but that a GBA would be the simplest way to address the issue.

So what happened? An explanation of Sunday's storm
BY CATHERINE ODSON
CODSONE.KANSA.NON.COM  KANSAN STAFF WRITER
T the storm Lawrence experienced Sunday morning brought with it winds from 70 to 90 mph but no clear indication of what happened. The National Weather Service reported that a microburst, strong winds associated with a severe thunderstorm, hit the Lawrence area, causing about $6 million in damage to the University of Kansas campus.
What happened?
Lawrence experienced a microburst, a sudden downdraft of air from the base of a thunderstorm. Curt Holderbach, meteorologist in charge at the National Weather Service Topeka office, said the highly-energized downbursts spread quickly to cause damage in a widespread area.
The microburst started southwest of Lawrence before traveling across the city. Sunday's microburst generated winds from 70 to 90 mph, speeds equal to that of an F1 tornado.

Crews continued to clean up the city and restore power all day Monday after the microburst hit Sunday morning. More than 390 residences were left without electricity Monday night, but Wester Energy spokeswoman, Karla Olsen, said that the "vast majority" would be fixed overnight. Olsen said less than 100 residences would be without electricity Tuesday morning. Cleanup will continue into the week.
A state assessment team was sent out Monday morning to look at the weather damage in the Lawrence area. The team had five members and the Douglas County Emergency Management is also helping to assess the damage.
said the team would know how much damage occurred sometime today.
City crews have already cleared debris blocking roads, while also preparing to clear the community's debris and other materials. Most of the debris should be cleared by Thursday. The crews will then move to pick up park areas, according to a city press release.
Collections began Monday at 7 a.m. for residents who placed woody debris by their curb. Lawrence residents may only haulo woody debris to city property at 1901 Wakarusa Dr. from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily through Sundav. March 19.
Monday afternoon, crews began clearing alleys in East Lawrence then moved into the remainder of the community's alleys.

College bloggers in danger of cyberstalking
A phenomenon commonly referred to as cyberstalking has become an issue with college students using Web sites such as facebook.com and myspace.com. With the rising popularity of those sites, which enable students to keep in touch with friends, meet new people and post blogs, the problem is that students aren't aware of the extent to which they are exposing themselves.

Personal information is necessary to register for Web sites, and students often give contact
According to a U.S. Department of Justice stalking and domestic violence report to Congress in May 2001, special crime units have been formed to help combat cyberstalking. More than 80 million adults have access to the Internet in the United States.
"Often times, people don't recognize what they're experiencing is a crime," said Kathy Rose-Mockry, director of Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center.

The Justice Department report mentioned a specific case in California in which an honors graduate student stalked five women at the University of San Diego. The victims received hundreds of threatening e-mails and messages.
The Lawrence Police Department doesn't have a specific category for cyberstalking, but records show 13 computer crime incidents were reported and nine stalking incidents in 2005.
Chris Hughes, spokesman for facebook.com, said that the Web site's privacy control system makes it the safest social network on the Web.

Dolphins search for a quarterback
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Miami Dolphins stepped up their search for a new quarterback on the opening day of free agency Saturday, meeting with Drew Brees in Birmingham, Ala., while also considering a trade for Daunte Culpepper.
There's competition with the Dolphins for both quarterbacks, said a person involved in negotiations, who didn't want to be identified because the team has been tight-tipped about its personnel plans.
Brees tore the labrum and damaged the rotator cuff in his throwing shoulder in the Chargers' final game last season and underwent surgery Jan. 5. Culpepper was a three-time Pro Bowl selection for Minnesota, but played poorly last season before tearing three ligaments in his right knee in a game Oct. 30.
But the Dolphins clearly are interested in a replacement for Gus Frerotte, even though Brees and Culpepper are coming off significant injuries.
While the Dolphins were trying to figure out what direction to take, many other teams were busy signing players. Among the biggest deals:
—Denver re-signed defensive end Gerard Warren to a six-year deal, and also kept running
back Ron Dayne and long snapper Mike Leach.
-DeShaun Foster agreed to a three-year, $14.5 million contract with the Carolina Panthers that finally makes him their star running back.
—Free agent safety Marlon McCree left Carolina to agree to a five-year, $16 million deal with San Diego. McCree will make $6 million in bonuses and guaranteed money in the first two years of the deal.
The Browns were busy revamping their offense, signing center LeCharles Bentley, left tackle Kevin Shaffer and receiver Joe Jurevicius.
The San Francisco 49ers traded leading receiver Brandon Lloyd to Washington for the Redskins' third-round pick this year and their fourth-round selection in 2007. They also resigned kicker Joe Nedley.
The Vikings signed running back Chester Taylor, kicker Ryan Longwell and linebacker Ben Leber after retaining receiver Koren Robinson and safety Willie Offord.
Six-time Pro Bowl fullback Mike Alstott, agreed to a one-year contract with Tampa Bay, the only pro team he's played for.
But where Brees and Culpepper land are two of the biggest question marks of the early free agency period.
Miami coach Nick Saban and general manager Randy Mueller flew to Birmingham, where Brees has been rehabilitation his surgically repaired right shoulder. He went 20-11 the past two seasons for San Diego, but when contract talks with the Chargers stalled, they agreed to let him test the market. New Orleans also was believed to be pursuing Brees.
Culpepper has been at odds with the Vikings over his 10-year, $102 million contract and wants to be traded. There has been speculation that Oakland, Baltimore, St. Louis and Arizona also are interested.
The Dolphins declined to comment, but it's clear their top priority is to upgrade the quarterback position, where Ferroteer started last season. He's still on the roster, but may be released or return as a backup in 2006.
Vikings coach Brad Childress said they are in talks to trade Culpepper.
Warren joined the Broncos last season and had 44 tackles, three sacks and three pass breakups. His play was a marked improvement from his stint in Cleveland, where he never lived up to high expectations after being taken third overall in 2001.
Foster spent most of the last three seasons playing in the shadow of Stephen Davis.
to terms with defensive tackle Maake Kemoeatu, who spent the past four seasons with the Baltimore Ravens. Kemoeatu agreed to a five-year deal worth $23 million, including $8 million in bonus money.
Bentley and Jurevicus grew up in Cleveland, rooting for the city's beleaguered NFL team.
"I can die happy now," said Bentley, who wore a Brown's jersey under his sports coat. "This has been my dream."
Bentley, who played the past four seasons for New Orleans, brings toughness, size and experience to the Browns' offensive line, which has been both inept and ignored by the team in recent years. His six-year deal is reportedly worth $36 million and includes $12.5 million in guarantees.
The Panthers also agreed
Jurevicius, who got a four-year deal, has played in three Super Bowls, including last season's for the Seattle Seahawks. The 31-year-old gives the Browns a dependable receiver to complement Braylon Edwards.
Lloyd was a restricted free agent for the 49ers, who drafted him in the third round three years ago. He was San Francisco's top receiver last season, catching 48 passes for 733 yards and five touchdowns for the NFL's worst offense, but alienated teammates and clashed with Mike Nolan's new coaching staff.
Alstott is the Bucs' career touchdowns leaders with 68, and his 4.917 yards rushing rank second in club history. The Bucs also re-signed defensive tackle Chris Hovan.
In other moves Saturday:
The Arizona Cardinals signed free-agent defensive tackle Kendrick Clancy to a four-year contract. Clancy played in all 16 games last season for the New York Giants, making 39 tackles, two sacks, forcing two fumbles and recovering one fumble.
Defensive tackle Larry Tripplett and tight end Robert Royal signed with the Buffalo Bills as the team wasted no time addressing its numerous needs. Also, Eric Moulds' future could be determined by early next week after the veteran star receiver had a series of discussions with the team.
in other moves this year.
— The St. Louis Rams inked free-agent safety Corey Chavous to a five-year contract, hoping to strengthen a defense that ranked 30th in the NFL last season. Chavous, an eight-year veteran, spent the last four seasons with Minnesota.
— The Jaguars signed free-agent cornerback Brian Williams.
— Defensive end Aaron Kampman signed a contract extension with the Green Bay Packers.
TRACK Runner earns school's first championship
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Kansas State distance runner Christian Smith captured the school's first national championship since 1993 when he won the men's mile at the NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships on Saturday.
Smith, a senior from Garfield, Kan., began pulling away during the final three laps of the eight-lap race. He finished in a time of 4:12.75, becoming the third Wildcat to be a four-time indoor All-American.
"I have been thinking about this race for quite a while," said Smith, who held off a late charge from Said Ahmed of Arkansas. "I saw the opening and I went for it."
Smith led the men's team to an 11th-place finish, its best since 1993. Earlier in the year, he broke a 20-year-old national record in the men's 1,000-meter run. He also won his third straight Big 12 title in the 1,000.
In other events, Kyle Lancaster finished second in the high jump with a clearance of 7 feet, 5 inches to earn All-American honors for Kansas State.
Breanna Eveland finished third in the pole vault, Shunte Thomas ninth in the women's 400 meters and Scott Sellers ninth in the high jump to also earn All-American honors.
The Kansas State women finished 35th.

"QUote of the Day"
"I haven't got the slightest idea how to change people, but still I keep a long list of pro-spective candidates just in case I should ever figure it out."
- Satirist David Sedaris
Fact of the Day
The original Guinness slogan "Guinness Is Good ForYou" began in the 1920s when it stemmed from market research because people told the company that they felt good after drinking a pint of it. Apparently they weren't lying either. In England, post-operative patients used to be given Guinness, as were blood donors, because of its high iron content. This practice continues in Ireland. In addition, pregnant women and nursing mothers were at one stage advised to drink Guinness — although present day advice negates this.

ODD NEWS Man drives 1,050 miles to find dog that ran away
GREEN BAY, Wis. — Truck driver John Withers says he "cried like a little girl" when his dog ran away.
So the Georgia man didn't hesitate to make the 1,050-mile drive when he heard his beloved pet had been found eight months later.
"I didn't cry, but I was very, very happy," Wethers said of his reunion with Sir Charles Nugget, a 4-year-old chow mix.
Nugget ran away last summer when Withers was making a delivery in Lena. Since then, plenty of people have spotted "a brown dog in a red collar," and many left out food but no one could catch the dog.
Then Withers got a phone call from Judy Fuller, the animal control officer in Little Suamico. She told him local folks were sure Nugget was the dog that had been hanging around town lately but nobody could get close to it.
So Withers made the drive, bringing Moose Edward, his 55-pound lab蚕herd mix.
Withers spotted Nugget on
Thursday lying motionless under a parked truck. The dog wouldn't budge and instead watched Withers and Moose play in the snow for 25 minutes before emerging.
fore finally pulling out of town with a heavy heart.
Except for a few briars and an extra-shaggy coat, Nugget looked the same. Locals had left everything from hot dogs to cooked venison to help the dog keep its weight up.
Withers had Nugget for about a year when he let the dog out for a bathroom break in Lena and the dog ran off. Withers spent seven frantic hours looking for Nugget be-
"I cried like a little girl — literally. I couldn't look at his picture. It made me cry. I couldn't look at his dog food. It made me cry" he said.
Catherine Odson
He contacted Lena Village Hall and left his phone number and a photo of Nugget with Police Chief Eric Anderson. They made sure word was spread to area humane societies. But as time went by, Witthers started to think he and his wife might never see Nugget again.

Woman proves police wrong in seatbelt fine
McMINNVILLE, Ore. — A newlywed who likes to cuddle up to her husband while he's driving can now do so without worrying about getting a ticket for a seatbelt violation.
Faith Miller of Willamina got a warning last summer from Sheriff's Deputy Darren Broome for wearing a lap belt instead of a shoulder harness.
Miller, who prefers to slide into the middle of the car's front seat, acknowledges she disregarded the warning.
"i just went back to sitting next to my husband," she told The McMinnville News-Register. "I have always sat next to him since we were married."
Valentine's Day, the Millers crossed paths with Broome again.
Then, just two days before
This time, she got a citation for $97, the first ticket Miller said she had ever received. She then began looking through Oregon's seat belt laws.
Miller found a provision requiring shoulder harnesses for children, whenever one is available, but no comparable provision for adults.
As far as she could tell, harnesses were recommended, but not required, by the Oregon law.
When Miller told Lt. Paul May at the sheriff's office about her findings, he did some research of his own and verified her findings, voiding the ticket.
State legislator lets air out of woman's car tire
MONTGOMERY, Ala. — A state lawmaker who says he got blocked in by another car decided to deflate one of the car's other tires.
State Rep. Albert Hall says he now regrets what he did
- he later learned the driver was the wife of Rep. Allen Layson, a fellow Democrat.
Hall, who wiggled his way out, said he did not let the tire all the way down.
"I just wanted her to have to stop and put some air in her tire and trouble her a little, too," he said.
Hall, a House parking committee member, said people have been blocking him in or taking his spot throughout the legislative session.

Australian finds croc in backyard pool
The latest uninvited croc to turn up in northern Sydney was a 21-inch freshwater crocodile, said Australian Reptile Park spokeswoman Mary Rayner.
"She actually caught it," Rayner said. "It was extremely angry and she bound the snout."
It was not clear how the freshwater crocodile got into the swimming pool. The species, which can grow to 10 feet, is not found in the wild anywhere near Sydney.

Willmott celebrates local 'CSA' premiere

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
An enthusiastic crowd gathered at Liberty Hall Friday to see the Lawrence debut of renowned filmmaker Kevin Willmott's film "CSA: The Confederate States of America."
Kevin Willmott, assistant professor of film, talks with friends and fans at the premiere of his film "CSA: The Confederate States of America" Friday at Liberty Hall.

Willmott, KU assistant professor of film, and a group of family and friends arrived in an SUV limousine to the pre-screening reception sponsored by the KU department of theatre and film.
Since IFC Films began showing the film last month, Willmott has attended premieres in cities ranging from New York to Memphis, Tenn., with cinema big shots such as Spike Lee. But he said that this premiere "was far more important."
"The entire cast is local. It really was a homegrown affair," Willmott said.
Ryan Carroll, Noel, Mo., senior, is one of the many local actors who volunteered their services for the film.
Carroll had been eagerly waiting for this night since the day his scene was shot from inside Oldfather Studios in 2002.
"When I was a kid I saw the movie 'Jurassic Park,' and ever

since then I've wanted to be an actor." Carroll said.
Blake said that he enjoyed the film's New York premiere but said it was special to come back home and see the movie with friends and family.
"In New York you're a little fish in a big pond. Here you're a big fish in a smaller pond," he said.
When the film was over, the audience gave the cast and crew a thunderous round of applause.

Willmott held a question-and-answer session with members of the audience. One man told Willmott he was "blown away" by certain parts of the movie, particularly a scene in which a family of slaves is sold on a slave shopping network.
Willmott told the audience that one of the greatest things about CSA's success is that "it puts a spotlight on the Lawrence film scene."
He said the local film scene promotes creativity, unlike Hollywood, which "always follows and never leads."

With press cameras reflected in the glass of his car, author Dan Brown leaves London's High Court Monday, where he gave evidence at the start of the case's third week. He is being sued by Richard Leigh and Michael Baigent, who claim he stole ideas from their book, "The Holy Blood and The Holy Grail" for his bestselling "The Da Vinci Code."
'Da Vinci Code' author testifies
BY JILL LAWLESS
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — In a rare and undesired appearance, "The Da Vinci Code" novelist Dan Brown dismissed claims that he stole the ideas of two authors as "completely fanciful," saying he read their book only after the structure of his theological thriller was in place.
In a witness statement, Brown said he was "shocked at their reaction" to his book. Under questioning by the plaintiffs' lawyer, however, Brown acknowledged that he could not always recall exact dates of milestones in the creation of his novel. Both books explore theories — dismissed by theologians — that Mary Magdalene was not a prostitute but Jesus' wife and that the couple had a child and their bloodline survived.
On Monday, the multimillionaire writer found himself on the witness stand at London's High Court, denying accusations of copyright infringement from Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh.
"It's as if you've asked me to go back five years or 10 years and asked me not only what I got for Christmas, but what order I opened the presents," he told Jonathan Rayner James, a lawyer for the plaintiffs.
Baigent and Leigh are suing "The Da Vinci Code" publisher Random House for copyright infringement, claiming Brown "appropriated the architecture" of their 1982 nonfiction book "The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail."
If Baigent and Leigh succeed in securing an injunction to bar the use of their material, they could hold up the scheduled May 19 film release of "The Da Vinci Code," starring Tom Hanks and Audrey Tautou.

Wu-Tang member to perform at Granada
BY DEJUAN ATWAY

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The saga of the Wu-Tang Clan will continue in Lawrence when one of the group members, Ghostface Killah, headlines a hip-hop concert at 8 tonight at
The Granada. Rapper M-1, of the group Dead Prez, will join him tonight.
The concert will mark the first hip-hop performance at The Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St., since the shooting incident that took place outside the nightclub on Feb. 5.
cident. Rashawn T. Anderson was arrested in Topeka and charged with Williams' murder.
After an Upset Records artist's concert, a group of about two dozen people assembled outside The Granada and an argument broke out among six people. Robert E.
Williams, a 46-year-old Topeka resident, was killed in the incident and 22-year-old Pierre Burnette of Kansas City, Kan., was also injured during the in-

not indicate whether he would increase the number of security guards at the event nor did he elaborate whether any new security measures would be taken to prevent any other acts of violence.
Logan said the music had much more to offer and this concert was for people who were to witness the power of the spoken word.
"Ghostface and M-1 are very conscious political voices that use hip-hop to send a positive message and
provide listeners to think," Logan said.
Despite the bad publicity The Granada received from the shooting incident, management
never wavered from bringing in more hip-hop talent from across the country.
"Hip-Hop music is in every bar, car, dorm room and top 40 radio. The genre has had the top 10 spots on the Billboard Charts," Logan said. "I never thought of canceling this show."
The New York-based Wutang Clan came to prominence in the early 1990s and has developed a loyal fan base throughout the world, including Colby Wallis, Overland Park junior, who plans to attend the show.
"I'm a huge Wu-Tang fan," Wallis said. "I know Ghostface has a new album out and I just wanted to check out the show. I'm not worried about anything happening down there."
Although the group has not released an album in five years, many of the members have released solo CDs.
Ghostface has released five critically acclaimed CDs and is currently on tour promoting his new CD, "Fishscale," which is scheduled to be released on March 28.

OUR OPINION
Benefits of recruitment outweigh poor policy
The Supreme Court confirmed last week the military's right to recruit students on campus, as it should have.
The problem with military recruiters stems from the Pentagon's "Don't ask, don't tell" policy on gays in the military.
The policy is a bad one. The military, like every other government organization, should not exclude members based on sexual orientation, either in theory or in practice. Not allowing soldiers to discuss their sexuality is an impractical — if not backward — way to avoid discrimination.
But the problems with the policy are not adequate excuses to keep recruiters off campus.
To ban recruiters would deny all students the opportunity to join the military and to gain access to $20,000 a year in scholarships, plus money for books, supplies and living expenses.
These scholarships help the more than 225 students enrolled in ROTC programs in the army, navy and air force at the University of Kansas. These students might well not have been able to attend college without this money.
These students are also getting quality training, which can be applied outside of the military, along with a strong dose of discipline, character and loyalty. The
Issue: Military recruitment on campus
Stance: The military's policy on gays is inappropriate, but they should still be able to recruit.
students can get good jobs after graduation and can either stay in the military or find work outside of it once they have completed their tours of duty.
One opinion on a hot-button issue like gays in the military shouldn't cut off those students who want to serve and get a college education. The benefits of the ROTC program for students who want to pursue it outweigh the problems of the "Don't ask, don't tell" policy.
A ban of recruitment would also cut off the military from attracting the brightest students into its ranks, students who might be able to change the Pentagon's policy in the future.

Men shouldn't compare child support to abortion
COMMENTARY
Move over South Dakota, there's a new debate that has hit U.S. District Court in Michigan. Called "Roe vs. Wade for Men," a lawsuit filed by the National Center for Men claims that men should be able to decline financial responsibility for children they father.
Tina Ling
LINDSEY GOLD opinion@kansan.com
The defendant, 25-year-old Matt Dubay, doesn't think he should have to pay child support for a daughter born last year to his ex-girlfriend. He claims his ex-girlfriend told him repeatedly that she could not conceive because of a physical condition. The suit, filed Thursday, addresses the issue of male reproductive rights and says that the lack of these rights violates the Fourteenth Amendment, specifically the Equal Protection clause. The suit claims that if a woman can choose between abortion, adoption or raising a child, then the father should be able to refuse the financial responsibilities. The director of the National Center for Men, Mike Felt, said in a CNN article that his mission was to "...find a way for a man to also have some say over decisions that affect his life profoundly." The organization's Web site says that Roe vs. Wade unfairly left men out of the equation. The site says that the document declares that the organization does not want to interfere with a woman's right to choose, but to encourage would-be parents to make family planning decisions together.
I agree with the basic principle that a man and a woman should make "family planning decisions"
The Due Process and Equal Protection clauses say that the federal government will not "...deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
Although the center claims that it doesn't want to disrupt a woman's right to choose, the center's actions seem counter intuitive. While the center says it wants to keep women's right to choose, it encourages men to have a part in that decision. What happens if the woman wants to abort the baby and the man wants to keep it? How would the courts intervene, or would they?
Historically, equal protection has never been applied in the way that Dubay is seeking. If the district court sides with Dubay, a chilling effect would be sent down the spine of society.
Dubay said in the CNN article that he expected to lose, but hoped his battle would spark discussion about the issue of male reproductive rights. Though a valid point, if the Supreme Court eventually accepted his case and ruled in his favor, the results would be detrimental.
Let's assume that Dubay wins. A snowball effect would roll across the nation. Men around
the country would seek the same protection to stop paying child support. These men also claim they did not want the children, and that this is reason enough not to support the children. If these men withdraw from their current financial responsibilities, a few different things are possible.
First, the mothers of the children on the receiving end of child-support checks could become more strapped for cash. This could result in family cutbacks and a decrease in the quality of life for the child. Second, if the families depend on this monthly support to make ends meet, they could plunge into poverty. Third, the government could have to pick up the slack by increasing funding for social and family programs. This extra burden would be passed onto tax pavers.
If the district court rules in favor of Dubay, Americans are turning their backs on many areas of society. John Stuart Mill would be rolling in his grave at the thought of hurting the welfare of the majority. The principle of utilitarianism, or the greatest good for the greatest number, is the best philosophy to apply in this situation. There are many men who would be affected by this decision. But thousands, if not millions, more would be thrust into poverty or into paying more taxes to help support the families. We would be doing a disservice to the children born into the situation and to society.

Storm coverage shows how a community comes together
A NOTE FROM THE EDITOR
After the storm passed — but before the sirens sounded — my initial reaction was to head back to bed and catch a few more minutes of sleep before heading in to work on a typical Monday paper. Quickly though, as my roommates and I assessed the damage and tried to find flashlights, I realized what had happened.
A few phone calls and the staff of The University Daily Kansan went into action. While many of
Like most of you, I was sound asleep at 8 a.m. on Sunday. Within 15 minutes, like most of you, I was standing on my porch with my roommates and my neighbors.
you were picking up limbs and driving around surveying the damage, the reporters and photographers of the Kansan were trying to figure out how to publish a paper and update a Web site with no power and no Internet.
With a single dial-up connection, the Kansan was the first media outlet to break news of the cancellation of class, as well as one of the first media outlets to announce that the storm warning system was not working.
And through it all, in keeping with what is indicative of our generation, the Kansan published a running blog online at its Web site. We were able to answer questions through the site's comments feature, even when all of the campus e-mail servers were down.
It's a true testament to the power of the Internet that our Web site saw a record-level traffic for
a Sunday, even when a large portion of our audience was without power or Internet.
When it all came down to it everything came together. With the help of friends and family, the faculty and staff of the School of Journalism and delivery drivers from Pizza Hut and Pita Pit, the Kansan was able to deliver photos and stories from the destruction that struck campus.
We hope you have seen the coverage and we invite you to share photos and anecdotes with us by sending an e-mail to editor@ kansan.com. We'll publish the stories and photos online at kansan.
com, where you can find complete coverage of Sunday's storm.
Publishing a daily newspaper is always an adventure, even when technology works perfectly and there are no natural disasters. When news breaks and technology malfunctions, however, the process becomes that much more interesting. The process is what drew me into the business and it's what makes me get up and come into work each day.

JUSTIN LAMORT oninion@kansan.com
Wouldn't it be nice to be able to elect someone for who they were instead of who they weren't? Both of the major parties in our country keep finding new ways to sink to new lows. America needs a change.
America deserves political change
The most blatant problem is the extremists who have come to represent the parties. The right arose from slumber in the 90s and sent forth a horde of talking heads like Bill O'Reilly and Ann Coulter. The left returned fire with Michael Moore. Instead of journalists, we are now left with commentators. What once were intelligent discussions on the airwaves have devolved into yelling and egregious spin with no end in sight.
It isn't completely hopeless. On the right there are people such as Gov. Kenny Guinn of Nevada or Sen. Olympia Snowe of Maine that show moderates can survive in the Republican big tent. On the left you see people like Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois or our own Gov. Sebelius, proving that Democrats with good ideas can unite people for the greater good.
With the 2006 elections, it's up to all of us to make our voices heard. Those in power for the sake of power count upon our apathy to ensure they stay entrenched at the top. If we start to care and make noise, the government will listen and then, and only then, will America get the change it so desperately needs.
On the right we have the Republicans, who seem to have traded their mantra of small government and fiscal responsibility for a platform of fear and big business. What great domestic platforms have they accomplished with control of the presidency and Congress? Exxon making $40 billion in profit? Taking a budget surplus and transforming it into an $8.2 trillion deficit? Perhaps stopping gays from marriage because their love isn't as good as heteros? Maybe it is the government's repeated calls for blind faith and ignoring the Constitution. Just for good measure lets add a touch of corruption such as Adam Tuff, Scooter Libby, Tom Delay, Jack Abramoff, Bill Frist, Duke Cunningham and a cast of others. America needs a change.

TALK TO US
Then there are the Democrats, whose best argument is not what they are going to do but who they aren't. Instead of arguing that the current administration has turned away from American values — such as sick people should be able to see a doctor ($36 billion cut in Medicare in the current budget), kids should get a strong education (the debacle of No Child Left Behind) and people should be able to find jobs (5.4 million more people under the poverty line since Bush's election) they squabble about the ports deal or sit dejected after years of being shouted down. America needs a change.

SUNDAY'S STORM
Monday's midterms rescheduled
Professors reformat tests devise alternative plans
BY MELINDA RICKETTS

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Sunday's microburst storm has forced professors with midterms scheduled for Monday to come up with alternative plans for giving their tests.
Scott Dicus, Kansas City,
Kan., senior, is in David Petr's
"Intro to Communication Systems" class in the School of Engineering. The midterm for the class was scheduled for Monday.
Dicus said that Petr, professor of electrical engineering and computer science, moved the test to a building on West Campus at the originally scheduled time, but then rescheduled it because of students' complaints. Students said that

they didn't study for the test because they thought it was canceled.
Dicus said that he was unable to study for the test because his power
Petr said that there had been problems with students being prepared for the midterm because of the storm and the students' complaints were part of
the reason that it was moved back.
The collective humanities and western civilization midterm was scheduled for Monday evening. About 1,700 students, the combined number from the honors and regular sections, were expected to take the test.
David Dewar, assistant director of humanities and western civilization, said that the test was canceled and that the makeup exam for Wednesday had also been canceled. The policy for taking the exam will be determined by each instructor. Dewar said that most instructors were planning on having their students take a scaled-back version of the exam during regularly scheduled class times on Wednesday or Thursday.
"I don't think it's less effective," Dewar said, "just different."
He said that the honors section would most likely have a take-home test distributed by e-mail. All of those students would have the same due date.
Katherine Clark, assistant professor of humanities and western civilizations, said in an e-mail that because the honors section had a fixed guest-lecture format, it is not possible to alter the schedule
to fit in a makeup exam during a regularly scheduled class period. Tom Kimmel, Lawrence sophomore, is in the honors section of western civilization. Kimmel said that he studied as if the test was on Monday or Tuesday.
"There was just so much uncertainty surrounding the whole thing that I wasn't really sure what to do," he said.
KU spokeswoman Lynn Bretz said that if students had any issues or questions regarding midterms they would need to contact their professors.

Aid
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
As to when federal aid might be expected, the process to request it is still ongoing. According to Phillips, to request the aid, state damage assessment teams and University officials must conclude their damage assessments and turn those numbers and as much data as possible regarding the damage over to the governor's office.
The governor then takes that information and signs a request package for public disaster assistance and forwards it to the Federal Emergency Management Agency Region 7 offices in Kansas City, Mo.
A final decision is made at the FEMA Headquarters in Washington, D.C. as to whether federal aid will be given and how much aid will be distributed if it is granted.
Phillips said that a decision from FEMA could be made within a week after it was received at the FEMA headquarters.

On Thursday, street sweeping will begin in the downtown area and then move into residential areas. Fire Chief Mark Bradford said that the Fire and Medical Department was calm and back to normal Monday. On Sunday, 60 total staff members were out in the streets fighting fires, including a number of people who were off duty. The off-duty employees who were called in were paid overtime, but Patterson said money for overtime expenditures was included in the city budget.

At 4:30 p.m. Monday, 650 Lawrence residents were still without electricity. This was a drastic change from the 38,000 residents without electricity during the peak of the storm on Sunday. Olsen said about 164 employees were working on the restoration of power lines throughout the city.
If you live off campus and need help cleaning up after the storm, these city services can help:

ties were without power at some point on Sunday. GSP-Corbin Hall did not have power until about 10 a.m. Monday. Desk assistants at GSP-Corbin said not many women stayed at the halls Sunday night. Many women stayed with friends who lived on Daisy Hill, at hotels or went home. Residence Halls on Daisy Hill were without power Sunday until about 11 a.m.
Rieger and K.K. Amini Scholarship Halls received electricity a little before 10 a.m., and Stephenson, Pearson and Sellards Scholarship Halls got power shortly after GSP-Corbin.
"Westar was replacing power lines until everyone got connected," Vince Avila, associate director of student housing maintenance, said. "They worked late into the night."
Some sororities and fraternites on West Campus Road experienced a power loss, Chi Omega sorority was without power, but members were able to stay at the Holidome Sunday night for free because of money that the sorority had budgeted in case of emergencies.
"Everything went really well, Mallory Hammersmith, president and Olathe sophomore, said. "It was nice to have that security of having a place available to stay."
She received a call Monday at 8 a.m. telling her the electricity was back on.

Microburst
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
The National Weather Service's storm prediction center reported winds of 76 mph at 8:11 a.m. Sunday morning, with another report of unknown wind speeds at 8:19 a.m. Hail up to 1.75 inches in diameter was reported west of Lawrence at 8:06 a.m.
I thought I saw a tornado. What's the difference?
Patrick Slattery, National Weather Service information officer, said tornadoes and funnel clouds, which are twisters that don't touch the ground, cause damage in a small corridor in a circular pattern.
Microbursts, such as the one Lawrence experienced Sunday morning, cause widespread damage and scatter debris along straight paths.
The damage can appear to be the same as that from a small tornado, but without the rotational influence.
"It's easy to get confused by shapes that are disguised within these storms," Slattery said.
According to initial weather service reports, there did not appear to be any tornadoes in Douglas County Sunday. Slattery said these reports were still being verified.
Microbursts are most common in conjunction with severe thunderstorms, which Holderbach said emphasized the importance of severe thunderstorm warnings.
"People need to realize that severe thunderstorms can cause significant damage," he said.
Severe thunderstorms can produce hail of .75 inches or more in diameter, tornados and winds of greater than 58 mph.
Isn't it a bit early for a severe storm?
The peak of severe weather activity in Kansas usually begins in April, but March storms are not uncommon, Holderbach said. The severe weather season usually ends in June.

Bucknell tragedy far gone
JIMMY CHAVEZ

PETER KENNEDY
It may have triggered a series of events that shaped the team that today calls itself the Big 12 Conference champions.
A year later, I returned to the scene of the crime.
Trying to dodge Sunday's severe weather, I stayed the night in Oklahoma City Sunday night, fresh off calling the Big 12 tournament for the first time ever on KJHK. I walked past the Ford Center, where Bucknell changed the fate of a school with a rich basketball tradition forever.
I couldn't help but recall everyone's faces after the loss, from players to cheerleaders to fans, even to media. Kansas, which was expected to go to the Final Four, suffered a loss so embarrassing that it triggered a cloud of gloom that would last for months.
From the wreckage, a new face took shape. Kansas coach Bill Self entered his third year at Kansas with the same energy and optimism as he approached his first one.
Some may say there was a silver lining in the loss.
The criticism Self received was undeserved. A year ago, on a Friday night in Oklahoma City, the fans, the media, and a couple — if not all — of his seniors left Self marred in the depths of despair.
In May, former guard J.R. Giddens, a distraction to the team, got involved in a fight that left him with a stab wound. A couple of months later, he left for New Mexico.
In January, the "new" Jawhawk team, mostly comprised of freshmen and sophomores, stood at 10-6, coming off consecutive losses to Kansas State and Missouri. Self once again had to hear whispers that maybe he wasn't the man for the job at Kansas.
That's why he has what it takes to bring to this University what his predecessor could not — no matter how much some people still whine about how much they miss Roy Williams.
The foundation for this year's Kansas team was laid.
Chavez is a San Antonio senior in journalism.
A year later, Oklahoma City couldn't be further away. Lawrence couldn't look brighter, minus a few trees and shingles. And as for my car, which the storm left trapped under a giant tree ... four inches to the right and today, I'd be asking you for a ride.
Two months later, Self and his team are now standing above the rest of the conference with a big grin on their faces. A week after the Big 12 blatantly disrespected the Jayhawks and presented the Texas Longhorns with the regular-season trophy that Kansas earned a share of, the Jayhawks took down the mighty Longhorns with a Texas-sized chip on their shoulders, a few stitches and a couple of high-flying Julian Wright dunks.
Self could have easily looked at his critics and shouted "I told you so," along with a few expetives. But that's not My style.
And as Wright, freshman forward, 360'd his way to the exclamation-point dunk Sunday afternoon, a team and its coach finally came of age. Sunday saw freshman guard Brandon Rush, the man whom Giddens' departure essentially paved the way for, dance around the floor at the American Airlines Center.

Kansas in postseason for first time since '00
Monday afternoon, Kansas was a yellow.

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
With nothing to do except wait for an invitation from the WNIT, coach Bonnie Henrickson went through a list of all the Division I teams, circling in red the ones that she thought were in the NCAA tournament, and highlighting in yellow the teams hoping for WNIT selections, including Kansas.
She predicted correctly, and at 9:50 p.m. received the call. Kansas will open the WNIT against Northern Iowa Thursday night in Allen Fieldhouse. A game time has not yet been announced.
"I'm not shocked by any means that we got invited," Henrickson said. "I got a little anxious. I had way too much time on my hands and didn't have any film to watch."
"We have a couple common
Henrickson said she didn't know much about either team but had compiled tapes of Northern Iowa games during the season in case the Jayhawks played the team in the postseason.
Of the 40 teams picked for the tournament, the Jayhawks were one of the last 16, meaning they are part of the preliminary round. If they win on Thursday, they will play a first-round game on Saturday against Mississippi. That game would also be in the fieldhouse.

opponents," she said. "They beat Colorado in overtime, and lost to Iowa State in Des Moines."
Kansas did the opposite, beating Iowa State twice and losing to Colorado twice.
It is Kansas' first postseason appearance since 2000, when the team lost in double-overtime to Vanderbilt in the first round of the NCAA tournament.

Senior players have opportunity for postseason

KANSAN SENIOR SPORTSWRIVER
Kansas' three seniors will experience a first in their basketball careers this week — postseason play.
Raylee Brown, Erica Hallman and Crystal Kemp will make their first postseason appearance against Northern Iowa on Thursday in the first round of the Women's National Invitational Tournament in Allen Fieldhouse.
After three years of failing to qualify for postseason play, the Jayhawks' trio of seniors get one shot to make its mark in the WNIT.
Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said the seniors were excited after hearing news of their selection late Monday night.
"It's the chance to wipe the slate clean," Henrickson said. "We're thrilled with the idea of continuing to play."
The selection marked the program's first postseason appearance since 2000 and one Henrickson said would be the legacy of this senior class.
"We talked about that with them at the end of last year and the beginning of this year for them to be able to say that when

Kansas football fans will continue seeing No. 3 in the defensive backfield next season — but it won't be former cornerback/wide receiver Charles Gordon. It will be sophomore cornerback Aqib Talib, who wore a No. 3 jersey Monday during Kansas football's second spring practice.
Gordon chose to forgo his senior season to declare for the NLA draft in April.
About 50 people attended the practice, which was open to the public. It was originally scheduled for Sunday afternoon but because of the storm, the practice was pushed to Monday.
"It's not a great environment to get tempo." he said.
Kansas football coach Mark Mangino said he only held practice indoors when absolutely necessary.
The football team hit the practice field Monday afternoon at the practice fields on the south side of Anschutz Sports Pavilion. Mangino said he liked the tempo

Jayhawks in the Zone
Last weekend's appearance a first for Kansas
BY BETTY KASPAR
bkaspar@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
For senior diver Casey Topol, diving is a mental sport, and the Zone Diving meet pushed her to her mental edge.
"It's a very tough meet," Topol said. "It can really rack on your brain."
Kansas qualified three divers for the NCAA Zone "D" regional in Columbia, Mo., last weekend.
Along with Topol, senior Robyn Karlage and junior Shelby Noonan also qualified.
If a diver qualified in one event, she could compete in all three events.
Team scores aren't considered in the event.
It was the first time the Kansas divers competed at the Zone Diving Meet.
Topol said the team did an amazing job considering the team had never gone to a zone meet.
The meet also marked the end of Karlage and Topol's career at Kansas.
On the first day of competition, Noonan lead Kansas with a score of 469.95 and finished 10th in the one-meter dive. Topol finished 14th and Karlage finished 24th.
"I didn't perform as well as I wanted to, but going into it, I just wanted to have fun and finish my career on a good note, and I think that I successfully did that," Karlage said.
"They had good events, they had rough events, but it was just a good experience." Elliot said. "It was a very high level of competition and for them to keep it together for that, it is nice to see they are that mentally tough."
On the second day, Topol was the only diver to compete in the platform competition and finished 13th with 357.7 points. In the three-meter competition, Noonan lead the way for Kansas with a 19th-place finish. Karlage finished 23rd and Topol finished 27th. Kansas diving coach Eric Elliot said the team performed well.
Topol said she was emotional at the beginning of the meet,but that her mother and Elliot had a calming effect on her.
"They had good events, they had rough events, but it was just a good experience."
Eric Elliot Kansas diving coach
"I loved ever minute of it," Topol said.
Karlage said the event was about looking to the future.
"I think the team is going to be great in the future and it's going to continue to get better." Karlage said.
Elliot agreed with the sentimentality of the event.
"It is sad for me to see them go, but I am excited for them to move onto the next chapter of their life," Elliot said, "I think all the lessons they have learned from diving such as setting goals, hard work, and the discipline it takes to reach their goals will fit in with their professional careers and the rest of their lives."
Although the divers are done, swimmers will return to action for the NCAA Championships on Thursday in Athens, Ga., and will finish up on the Saturday.

NCAA TOURNAMENT
Lack of bids disappoints conferences
KANSAS
25
Texas forward P.J. Tucker pulls a rebound away from Kansas guard Brandon Rush in the second half of the Big 12 Men's Championship basketball game Sunday in Dallas. Only four teams from the Big 12 Conference — Kansas, Texas, Texas A&M and Oklahoma — received bids to play in the NCAA tournament.
BY DOUG TUCKER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Tim Sharp/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Not having anyone from the Big 12 on the NCAA selection committee may have been costly for the conference, says Colorado coach Ricardo Patton.
Patton's Buffaloes were one of the most disappointed teams in the country on Sunday when the committee announced bids for the 65-team field. Despite a 20-9 overall record and 9-7 finish in the Big 12, the Buffaloes were snubbed by the NCAA and wound up accepting a bid to play Old Dominion in the NIT.
The Big 12 and Atlantic Coast Conferences, two of the traditional powerhouses, each got only four teams in the field. Matching them was the Missouri Valley Conference, which got a league record of four bids.
"I believe the ACC and Big 12 are definitely two of the best conferences in the country anywhere, night in and night out," said Patton. He added that many mid-major teams that got tournament bids would have difficulty achieving good records if they'd played in leagues like the Big 12.
"I would think having a balanced committee makes sense," Patton said. "I don't see any reason why it wouldn't make sense to have more representation of the different leagues and conferences."
"Without Big 12 representatives, I would doubt very seriously if anyone's making an argument for a fifth team."
Oklahoma coach Kelvin
Sampson, who'll be making his 11th trip to the NCAA tournament in 12 years, agreed.
"I would like to have seen Colorado get in because of their body of work — 9-7 in the league," said Sampson. "But I'm a Big 12 guy. There are so many deserving teams you can make a case for. I'd hate to have the committee's job. It's tough."
Oklahoma (20-8) will meet Wisconsin-Milwaukee (21-8) in the Minneapolis Regional on Thursday after losing their last two games.
"These kids will bounce back," Sampson said. "It's not like we're 8-20. We're 20-8."
Everyone agrees the hottest team in the Big 12 and possibly the country, is Kansas. After beating Texas in the Big 12 tournament title game — its 15th win in 16 games — Kansas was made a No. 4 seed and will play Bradley in the first round on Friday in Auburn Hills, Mich.
But coach Bill Self and his team were just happy to discover their homes were not damaged in a powerful storm that raked Lawrence Sunday night. Power was even temporarily knocked out in Allen Fieldhouse.
"The lights are on in Allen." Self said. "We can definitely play."
Winning three games at the Big 12 tournament on a neutral court in Dallas, and avenging an earlier loss to Texas, could be a big confidence boost for a team that starts three freshmen and two sophomores, Self said.
"Dallas did everything we hoped it would do. Playing on a neutral court helped us as well,
as far as preparing for the tournament. But I also believe good play this week doesn't guarantee good play next week," Self said.
"We're going in with momentum, but we don't play until Friday. The vast majority of teams in the tournament are on the upswing."
Also getting an NIT bid was Oklahoma State. The Cowboys (17-15) will play the Hurricanes (16-5) at Miami on Wednesday. They are only two victories short of getting to 800 for head coach Eddie Sutton, who is out on
medical leave and has not said whether he will return next season after completing treatment for what he called "a problem with alcohol."
"I think they're well aware of how many wins they need for that to occur," head coach-designate Sean Sutton said. "I think they're motivated by that. But they also want to play good basketball. I know (the 800 wins) are important to them and it's a goal to get them to that."
While Colorado is disappointed to be in the NIT, the
Nebraska Cornhuskers are pleased. They play at Hofstra on Thursday and the entire program is certain to be in a much more relaxed frame of mind after coach Barry Collier was told Sunday night that he'll be back next year.
"We think we've made some obvious and good progress," Collier said. "We'd like to make more, take bigger steps, and we're working on doing that. I'm excited about our program and looking forward to even better things for us, with the
ultimate goal of not just making the NCAA tournament, but winning games there."
He did not deny that the past few weeks of speculation about his job status was a trial.
"You learn not to get down into that mess," he said. "You've just got to keep your shoes clean and keep walking and do the job you're given.
"The best thing is to understand there's a big plan out there for all of us. If you just do your part, God's going to make things happen the way they should."
WNIT

nament wasn't held until 1982.
The Jlayhawks have appeared in the WNIT only two other times. In 1990, they were invited to what was then the National Women's Invitational Tournament. At that time it was staged as a round-robin tournament.
The team was also invited in 1977, when the NWIT was the only postseason tournament available. The first NCAA tour-
A WNIT bid is a blessing for some teams and an insult for others. Kansas has been lobbying for an invitation since the team opened the season with a 12-0 record.
Texas Tech, on the other hand,
chose to decline its invitation.
The school has enjoyed a long
history of women's basketball
success and had been invited to
16 straight NCAA tournaments.
Earlier this year, 24-year head
coach Marsha Sharp announced that she would retire at the end of the season.
Kansas State, Iowa State and Nebraska are the other three Big 12 schools to receive an invitation. For Kansas State, it is a drop from the national prominence the team has enjoyed in recent years, but still an achievement considering the Wildcats started four freshmen at times this season.
The Wildcats will also host a
first-round game. Host sites are selected by each team putting in a bid for how many fans it will draw to the game.
Henrickson said she thought that Kansas bid the minimum, though she didn't know the exact number.
Today will be the Jayhawks' second consecutive day of practice after taking off Sunday because of the weather.

"We are definitely not counting ourselves out," Kemp said following the team's victory against Missouri last month. "We just need to continue to work hard and be aggressive and have confidence."
it's all said and done that we were part of that class that got it turned around and created some momentum."
Henrickson and her team were not shy about talking about their postseason aspirations, even when hopes seemed dim.
The seniors also get another opportunity to play in Allen Fieldhouse after a disappointing loss on senior night to Kansas State. The opportunity to play another home game and an opportunity to continue her career at home was satisfying for Hallman.
"It's added motivation because I love playing at Allen Fieldhouse," Hallman said. "This year we've gotten some pretty good crowds and it's even better when the fans are in it."

Practice
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
The rest of the offense is getting accustomed to the field again as well.
Senior offensive lineman David Ochoa said this was the most comfortable he felt about the offensive line during his time playing for Kansas.
"As a unit, communication is better," he said. "We have a better understanding of what is going on around us."
Ochoa said the team grew as a unit from winter workouts and conditioning.
"From top to bottom everyone wants to get better," Ochoa said." Nobody is out here that is just throwing on a jersey."
On the defensive line, junior James McClinton will be the only returning starter from the front seven.
The football team will make up Sunday's practice on March 27, the Monday following spring break.
The football team's next practice open to the public will be April 1 in Topeka.
Senior offensive line man David Ochoa said this was the most comfortable he felt about the offensive line during his time playing for Kansas.
Football Notes:

Although his eligibility is still in question, senior defensive lineman Eric Butler participated in spring practice on Monday.
B
Butler enrolled in 2001 at Devry University, which did not have an athletics program. He then enrolled at Avila College, where he played football for one season. He wouldn't play again until he walked on to the Kansas football team last season. Five football seasons have passed since Butler first enrolled at Devry. It is still in question whether his eligibility clock should have started when he enrolled at Devry, because it doesn't have an athletics program.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You'll Have
2-Dynamic. P-Average. 3-Average. I-Offense. D-Iffense.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) ******
You might want to bring certain elements of your daily life. Do your choices work for you? If you aren't sure, today's events will give you a strong indication. Rationalizing will not work.
Tonight. Easy does it.In fact, a full retreat might be in order.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) *******
Recognize what you might be going on with those around you. Your fun nature points to changes and differences. A relationship could be taking an interesting twist. If you are attached, avoid controlling situations.
Tonight: Life goes on.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) **
You might think you are in a pressure cooker — you are not far from wrong. Somehow, others do not see situations in the same light as you. Luring them to your thought process is close to impossible right now. Tonight. You really might want to cocoon.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) *****
You hear so much, and much you hear will be conflicting information. Put your hands over your ears and make a positive decision for yourself. At this moment, others aren't reliable. Return calls and be willing to flex.
Tonight. In the midst of a whirlwind.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) *****
You might not believe all that starts up around you. If you want to rethink a decision, do so. Lighten up on the long-term implications of a money issue that is festering. You won't be ready to adapt and change the course yet.
Tonight: Don't overdo it.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ★★★
Knowing when to vanish can make all the difference in the outcome of certain situations. Understand that at present, you are your own best company, with perhaps one other person. Decoaching might make you mellow.
VIRIG (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) ****** The full moon in your sign takes you in a new direction, or perhaps down an unanticipated path. You might not realize the potential and possibilities around you. Others certainly let you know they are there! Tongtat: What you would like.
Tonight: Still unavailable.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ***** Focus on the majority and the group interest. Personal causes might be best left alone for a day or so. Someone close to you might throw an acntrum because he or she feels a need for more attention. So be it. Tonight. Where the action is.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ★★★
You could be bent out of shape and mildly disconcerted by others and their actions.
Today's full moon could hit you harder than many, as you will have to let go of certain preconceptions.
Tonight. Expect to be put late.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ***** You might want to think before you leap into action. Others might not be exactly sure what the appropriate action is. You might be part of this faction. Realize that some issues cannot be resolved immediately. Tonight: Listen to music or relax to a movie.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★★
Quite likely, you will toss your hands in the air and think positively. What might have been a problem could seem even bigger right now. You simply are in a passage, and an important one at that.
Tonight Emphasize the pluses in a relationship.
Sam Hemphill/KANSAN
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ***
Others clearly are in control, and you will not and cannot make a difference. Why try?
Investigate offers; but do not feel you have to say yes or no just now. Much more is coming down your path.
Tonight. Let others call the shots.

Bracket betting begins
BY NANCY ARMOUR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Every year about this time, Eddie Gontram's architecture firm becomes one of the most popular in the country.
Hundreds of people he doesn't know — and probably will never meet — check out his Web site, eagerly awaiting the latest news. And we're not talking about blueprints for that new day spa.
"It's March Madness," Gontrun said Monday.
"Part of it is, it's so easy to become involved," said Scott Sepich, who has run a pool for about 70 friends for the last 10 years.
Sure is. baby!
inued, brackets are everywhere these days. Printed in virtually every newspaper. Online. Passed out in neighborhoods, hospitals and church groups.
For the next three weeks, you'll find sports nuts, devoted alumni and people who don't know a layup from a loose-ball foul breaking down their picks, obsessing over little-known schools like Monmouth and Pacific, and talking trash about that 8-9 match-up.
Even the most buttoned-down offices get the fever. Instead of talk about mergers
The World Series and NBA finals have their devotees, and clever ads and queso dip make the Super Bowl an all-inclusive party. When it comes to the NCAA tournament, though, there's something in those brackets that converts even the least sports-minded people into rabid fans.
and acquisitions or tax season, watercooler chatter centers on the latest games, who's winning the pool and what the prospects are for the next round.
And the true beauty? No expertise is needed. You could render Dick Vitale speechless with your knowledge of college hoops, sweat for days over RPI and power conferences, and still lose to people who make their picks based on nicknames and uniform colors.
"My 4-year-old daughter beat me last year," Gontram admitted. "She was within a whisker of winning the whole thing."
Things have lightened up since then, but the brackets in almost every clubhouse are still serious business.
At baseball's spring training, where the start of the season is less than a month away, the real agonizing isn't over who will win the job at third base, but who will come out of the grueling Minneapolis regional.
San Francisco Giants pitching coach Dave Righetti hasn't decided if he's going to enter a pool yet, but he still spent part of his morning Monday debating whether Cal, the seventh seed in the Atlanta Regional, can make a serious run.
The Seattle Mariners are hard at work on their picks
Back in 1988, when the Dodgers were paid their annual visit by FBI agents for a talk on the evils of gambling, the feds were made to wait while the Los Angeles players finished some important business. Seems they had to finish their tournament picks.
soon after they arrived at camp Monday. The Mariners have two pools, one of the players' own brackets, and the other a random draw of the 65 teams. And across the country in Florida, St. Louis Cardinals infielder Scott Spiezio joked that someone had copied his bracket.
"I've got Duke winning it all," Spiezio said. "I've got a couple of surprises in there, but I can't say what they are. Then I'd I have to split my money."
An estimated $2.5 billion is reportedly bet on the NCAA tournament, with only $80 million bet legally in Nevada sports books.
Ah, money.
But much comes from small pools, the $5, $10 and $20 wagered by average Joes who don't otherwise gamble.
“It’s a crapshoot,” said Marienrs pitcher Jamie Moyer, who gets inside info from his father-in-law, ESPN analyst Digger Phelps. “You’re dealing with kids, 17- to 21-year-olds. That's a lot of pressure. Think of all the pressure — and the money that is bet on it, legally and illegally. It's amazing.”
Bets placed with bookies account for some of the rest, and there are plenty of big-ticket pools.
At Hodes, Ulman, Pessin and Katz, the Maryland law firm, about 80 percent of the 120 employees participate, said Kevin Bress, a partner who heads the elder law department and runs the pool.
No other company activity comes close to that.
"Not even the Christmas party." Bress said.

TRACK AND FIELD
Team 'never satisfied'
Outdoor season to begin for men and women
BY JACK WEINSTEIN
sports@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWRITER
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Lawrence welcomed back three All-Americans Sunday after the NCAA Indoor Track Championships in Fayetteville, Ark., last weekend.
"As a meet, we had some people that performed really well, and I think we had some people that tried really hard and I think of the mistakes that were made, they almost tried too hard," Kansas coach Stanley Redwine said.
Redwine said that the meet invited, on average, the top 16 national performers in each event.
On Saturday, sophomore Egor Agafonov placed second in the weight throw, which qualified him as an All-American. His throw of 76 feet and one inch was only bested by the longest throw in collegiate competition this year.
"Egor came in ranked fourth and ended up second," Redwine said. "On his fifth throw, he went out there and decided he wanted to win. That's the attitude that we want our athletes to have."
Senior Charisse Bacchus also qualified for All-America honors for the first time in her career Friday by placing fifth in the women's long jump with a jump of 20 feet, 11.75 inches. After placing 10th and missing out on becoming an All-American last year, Bacchus said that although
"It's about time." Bacchus said. "It's an accomplishment that I've had in mind for a long time. It gives me a bit of satisfaction, but I'm never satisfied. I'm always setting more and more goals."
"It feels good to be an All-American, to be the top eight in the country," Battle said. On Monday, Battle was named the Division I Men's Indoor Field Athlete of the Year for the Midwest Region by the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association.
For the second year in a row, senior Sheldon Battle is an All-American. On Friday, Battle's throw of 63 feet and four inches was good for fourth place in the shot put. In the weight throw on Saturday, Battle finished in 10th place with a throw of 69 feet. He earned All-American status by finishing as a top-eight American in the event. Even though Battle is an All-American, he didn't perform as well as he wanted to.
With a strong field in the 60-meter hurdles, senior Aaron Thompson tied his own school record of 7.84 seconds, which placed him 11th in the preliminary race. He missed qualifying for the finals by .01. Although Thompson didn't qualify for All-American honors, he took something positive away from the championships.
"I'll take some positives from it, from the experience of being here, the competition and carry it to the outdoor season so I can make it in outdoors," Thompson said.
The distance medley relay team of seniors Joshy Madathil, Brandon Hodges, Benson Chesang, and sophomore Matt
she was pleased, it was a long time coming.
"Egor came in ranked fourth and ended up second. On his fifth throw, he went out there and decided he wanted to win. That's the attitude that we wanted our athletes to have."
Baysinger ran a time of 9:46.53.
They finished in 10th place.

"It's tough to say the least, especially for the other three," Bay-singer said. "I'm a sophomore, so I have a chance to do this again and they don't. It's hard to be this close and not get it."
Baysinger described the team's finish as a bittersweet end to a good season.
The distance medley team set a school record of 934.91 running on a 320-meter track in South Bend, Ind. The track in Fayetteville was 200 meters. Madathil said one of the factors in the race was the length of the track.
"On larger tracks, there are longer straight-aways, so you don't have to run in lane two, which adds to the distance you're running and makes it a little harder to pass people when you're running farther than they are," Madathil said. "It definitely makes a difference running on a shorter track."
With the exception of Hodges, each athlete who competed in Fayetteville will compete in the outdoor season starting on March 25 with the Tulsa Duels.

Cleanup efforts shifting to parks

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
As city crews head into their fourth day of cleaning up Lawrence after Sunday's storm, attention will start to shift from sweeping debris off streets and sidewalks to cleaning up parks. Westar Energy is still working to restore power to a small number of residents.
Melinda Ricketts/KANSAN
Fred DeVictor, director of Lawrence Parks & Recreation, said the department looked at individual parks and found tree debris and hanging limbs. Crews plan to start fixing up South Park first in order to get the area ready for the annual St. Patrick's Day parade on Friday.
"Cleaning up the areas will not just happen this week," DeVictor said at the City Commission meeting Tuesday night. "We will have to work into the next few weeks."
Chuck Soules, Lawrence Public Works director, said that the city had about 200 staff members out working in the city. Many of them work 12-hour shifts. He said he went to look at the dump site at 1901 Wakarusa Dr. at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, and crews were still hauling debris.
There is also a smaller dump site at 11th and Haskell streets. The county was asked to provide extra dump trucks from contractors to help haul debris because there was such a large amount.

Conductor leads with tenacity

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Nicholas Ulijanov slams down his baton suddenly, a trace of frustration surfacing on his normally well-controlled features. He has missed a cue, and the orchestra is making mistakes. He tells them they are forgetting what they have known since they were 12 — the
simplest techniques.
Then he softens a bit with a joke about his unblunder.
"I am so old, I can forget. But you all are so young, everybody" he says in heavily accented English, hinting at his Slavic upbringing.
Now in his third year conducting the KU Symphony Orchestra, Uljanov's mission is to promote the orchestra and bring students to its performances with the same zeal
they have for attending Jayhawk basketball games.
"I cannot understand why the people go there, thousands of them stand in the long line," he said, gesturing with his hand toward Allen Fieldhouse through the window of his large, no-frills office on the first floor of Murphy Hall, "but they do not come to the music."

LEGISLATURE
Research bill in the works
BY FRED A. DAVIS III
ldavis@kansan.com
KANSAN STUDENT WRITER
A proposal that would give $5 million to the University of Kansas to build a first-class cancer research center was heard in the Kansas House Appropriations committee Tuesday.
While there was only testimony on behalf of the legislation, questions remained about the language of the bill.
Committee chairman Melvin Neufeld (R-Ingalls) said that there was some initial misunderstanding between the committee and Dr. Roy Jensen, director of the Kansas Cancer Center, about the role that the Kansas Bioscience Authority would play in the center.
Jensen said he was not opposed to the Bioscience Authority working with the center,but said that it was not appropriate to have it oversee the center. Jensen said that it was the ultimate goal of the center to have the National Cancer Institute oversee it.
Another issue mentioned was working the legislation to permit the cancer center to be an official fixture of the government to allow for a long-term commitment from lawmakers as well as to guarantee long-term funding.
Neufeld said this bill was important because of what it meant to Kansans in terms of cancer research.
Jensen, meanwhile, said he was "absolutely optimistic" about the prospects of the bill. Jensen added that the question was not whether the state government would support the bill, but rather how they would support it.
Neufeld said there were plans to work with or even add amendments to the bill during the next few days before presenting it to the committee next week.

Jensen said that although he didn't think a bill is necessary, it was important that the University remained cooperative in helping to craft satisfactory legislation.
STUDENT SENATE
didates see as some of the most pressing issues facing students.
Let the RACES begin Coalitions release platforms
DELTA FORCE
The Ignite coalition has chosen to run ten platforms, Delta Force has picked seven and $100 Fee Cut Party will not be running a platform, but will support a referendum on the election ballot.
Edited by Lindsey St. Clair
Studie Red Corn, Shawnee sophomore and presidential candidate of Delta Force Bridget Franklin, Topeka senior and vice presidential candidate of Delta Force
Support University Divestment from Sudan
Request that the University withdraw all its investments with companies that do business with the Sudanese government and pledge to withhold its business with these companies until the genocide in Sudan has ended.
Sustainability and Gray Water Create a Center for Sustainability that would serve as a resource for student and faculties to do research on pressing environmental, cultural and social issues. Also, create a campus-wide grey water system that would collect rainwater to be reused for irrigation of lawns and flower beds, saving the University over $100,000 annually.
Abolish the 10-semester limit for GTAs, because it takes the most experienced teachers out of the classroom affecting the education quality at the University. Also, work for better working conditions and benefits such as health insurance for GTAs.
Support for graduate teaching assistants during Contract Renegotiations
Noise Ordinance
Prevent University-sanctioned consequences to students living in off-campus residences as well as ensuring that the city passes fair and objective ordinances that will not directly affect students in a negative way.
Sexual Assault Reform
Increase Student-Created Media Make funding more available to student-created art and literature projects to increase the amount of various genres of publications and media on campus. Also, have Student Senate assist students in getting academic papers published more often and with greater ease.
Promote Electronic Privacy Policy Create a student-run task force that would work with the University to establish a definite policy of electronic privacy regarding student discipline and those applying for University employment. The task force would be looking at the use of sites such as facebook.com and MySpace.com as examples of how technology is becoming a greater part of student life.
Sexual Assault Reform Work with the University to clarify the current rules regarding specific consequences for certain types of sexual assault so that each case is treated justly and the safety of all attending the University is ensured.

Student Senate elections are quickly approaching and the coalitions Delta Force, Ignite and $100 Fee Cut Party, formerly known as Student Voice, have officially kicked off the campaign process.
Coalition members have chalked the sidewalks on campus to advertise their groups and set up tables in front of Wescoe Hall for students to visit to get more information regarding each coalition.
S100 FEE CUT
The coalitions have now released their platforms with the issues that, if elected, they will focus on. Each coalition's platforms propose changes to the University of Kansas that the canto their advising.

IGNITI
Chanay said the coalition wanted to reduce the student campus fees by $100. He said this issue was important because it would make paying for college easier for students, reverse the uphill climb that fees have been taking over the years and force the University and Student Senate to set priorities and be more careful with student money.
Jason Boots, Plano, Texas, senior and presidential candidate of Ignite Mel Horen, Overland Park junior and vice presidential candidate of Ignite
Work with the University and individual colleges to expand wireless Internet in classrooms, gathering spaces and living environments on campus to keep up with the continuing increase of student dependence on technology.
Wireless Campus
Help students with the rising cost of textbooks by making a University policy requiring professors to declare their textbooks earlier so stores can find more used copies, force publishers that offer bundled products to also offer individual copies and pass legislation for a tax-free textbook program.
Affordable Textbooks
Financial Aid Accessibility
Create software that would link a student's enrollment information to a site that would list all financial aid opportunities that would apply to the individual, making the search for additional aid less difficult. Also set up a service that would give students additional education concerning financial planning.
Advising
Improve advising process for undeclared junior and higher-level students, multiple major students and students interested in changing their major. Make an interactive ARTS form that makes curriculum requirements clearer and integrated into the timetable as well as creating an advising desk to give students a holistic approach
Academic Technology Borrowing Create an academic technology-borrowing center that would allow students to check out such things as cameras, video recorders and laptops to be used for class projects.
Redevelopment of Student Organizations Web site.
Create a Web site that would have an online form that gathers information from various groups and sends it to the needed department instead of organizations having to go to four different locations to register. The site also would provide online tutorials and resources for organizations that were previously difficult to locate.
Meal Plan Usability
Bike Lanes on Jayhawk Boulevard Create a bike path along Jayhawk Boulevard by moving the parallel parking spots along the side to other lots around campus, leaving room for the bike path.
Change the current meal plan system to allow students more flexibility to change their minds regarding meal plans. It would give students more time to figure out their schedules and pick a meal plan that fits their needs rather than wasting money on a plan that goes partially unused.
TODAY 66
Weekend Circulating SafeBus
Weekends Circulating Schedules To handle the high demand of SafeRide, this plan would create a circular route that would allow students to move about from area to area throughout the city with their KUID.

Week to stress storm awareness
BY CATHERINE ODSON
codson@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Matt Ubben found himself in an unusual viewing locale for Sunday morning's storm: indoors.
A five-year veteran of storm chasing, Ubben, Rosehill junior, awoke Sunday morning to a crash on his window, followed soon after by sirens. His curiosity convinced him to go outside. The weather Sunday morning, cool and dry, did not seem right for a severe storm, he said.
The Sunday morning storm kicked off Severe Weather Awareness Week in Kansas. Jennifer Stark, a meteorologist with the Topeka National Weather Service, will present the week's highlight, a Weather 101 lecture, at 7:00 tonight at the Lawrence Arts Center, 940 New Hamshire.
The KU chapter of the American Meteorological Society will be presenting information about severe weather in Kansas on Wescoe Beach all week to raise awareness of severe weather safety practices, especially among out of state students.
"It's Kansas and severe weather does happen," said Alex Perkins, AMS president.
While AMS can advocate severe weather awareness, the group itself isn't officially allowed go storm chasing or storm spotting. Donna Tucker, associate professor of geography, said organized storm chasing has been prohibited within KU organizations since before she joined the faculty in 1993.
"Storm chasing is a dangerous activity." Tucker said. She said it made perfect sense to her why the University avoided the liability of endorsing student
storm chasers.
Storm chasing poses dangers even to experienced meteorologists, said Curt Holderbach, meteorologist in charge at the National Weather Service in Topeka. The reasons for untrained spotters and chasers to stay away from severe storms range from strong winds to lightning and hail, he said.
Trained spotters work in conjunction with the National Weather Service and local emergency officials, such as Douglas County Emergency Management, Douglas County requires visual confirmation of a tornado by a spotter or law enforcement officer to sound the tornado sirens.
Spotters go through extensive training, including a spotter talk like tonight's Weather 101 lecture, and learn how to handle various weather situations, according to Mark Cairns, Douglas County Emergency Management duty officer and former spotter.
"You're trained to look for more than one way out," he said.
Chasers take more risks than spotters, Cairns said.
"Those people are really crazy." he said.
Perkins has never chased a storm,but wants to in the future.She said her background as an atmospheric science major would help her know which situations to avoid.
Before Ubben started chasing, he attended a spotter talk, similar to tonight's lecture, but said the best learning experience was working with experienced chasers. In his five years of chasing, he's seen three tornadoes and countless funnel clouds.
"It's one of the biggest rushes I've ever experienced," he said.

Tuesday's test a success after earlier worries
Lawrence's sirens sounded without fail during the statewide tornado drill yesterday afternoon, quelling concerns about their effectiveness Sunday.
The questions arose over the siren's condition Sunday afternoon when Lawrence police officers began issuing severe weather warnings from their patrol cars, a practice that Baby Newton, Douglas County Emergency Management duty officer, said Lawrence officials used prior to the installation of outdoor tornado sirens.
A siren maintenance company arrived Sunday afternoon after county officials were unable to confirm if the sirens went off during the early morning storm. The company repaired an antenna used to transmit and receive messages from the individual sirens, but concluded that the sirens had sounded and were in working condition for the entire day.
Lawrence's sirens sounded after the storm hit because Douglas County Emergency Management requires visual confirmation of a tornado either by a trained spotter or law enforcement official before sirens will be sounded, said Mark Cairns, Douglas County Emergency Management duty officer. The department received a spotter report at 8:07 a.m. and sounded the sirens at 8:08 a.m.
Sirens are not used in cases of severe thunderstorm warnings because people would stop paying attention to the recurrent warnings, Newton said.
Douglas County reserves the sirens for "take cover" situations and don't mean "go outside and look," he said.
Residents should refer to local media for an indication of when it's safe to resume normal activity.

IN THEATRES FRIDAY MARCH 17TH
Conductor
Uljanov — pronounced OoIYA-nuff — understands the appeal of sports, but does not understand why music and the arts do not enjoy the same popularity among KU students.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Ujjanov's level of dedication is evident even in casual conversation. Any attempts to elicit personal information from him quickly turn to talk of the orchestra and ways it can be improved and expanded.
In fact, Ulianov is a bit of an athlete himself. His tall, athletic frame gives credence to his recollections of playing tennis and soccer, skiking in the Alps and, although his stiff body movements make the visualization slightly more difficult, figure skating competively.
"Everyone on this campus is welcome to come to us," he said repeatedly. He wants everyone to know that the music department will work with them to find a way for them to play.
Kevin Pitts, Topeka senior, said that before Ulijanov came, expectations of the orchestra members weren't very high. If members couldn't play a part, they wouldn't be held accountable.
"The orchestra realizes how much better he has made us as a group." Pitts said.
He laughed at the prospect of having hobbies outside of his job, saying he had time for little other than his work. He said he often worked late into the night.
His students generally characterize him as firm, but fair. They credit the quality of the orchestra to his conducting ability and strictly on-task rehearsals.
Although he wasn't inclined to talk about himself, the pride was evident when he talked about the conducting workshops he set up with Gerhard Schwarz, the music director of the Seattle Symphony. Uljanov wrote him an impassioned letter about strengthening the cultural value of the music
Total Dedication
Most of his students simply call him maestro, a common term for conductors. Coming to the University two years after Brian Priestman, a father figure of a conductor, Ulijanov has injected some discipline and ideas of his own by adding a rehearsal to the weekly schedule and creating an orchestra advisory council. Such a council usually exists only in professional orchestras. The council gives students an opportunity to discuss their ideas about repertoire and the direction of the orchestra.
"To get this man to Kansas is very difficult. He is very famous. I convinced him to come to us and do this conducting workshop. It's a very important event not only for the school of music, but for the entire University."
programs at the University.
Schwarz will be here on April 17 and 18, and both he and Uljanov are hoping to create a musical version of the University of Iowa Writers' Workshop.
iowa wartz said, "That remarkable program helps identify Iowa. With that knowledge, I was intrigued to try to do something in our musical world that was significant nationally and could help identify the University of Kansas as the cultural center and force that it is."
A HISTORY OF Uljanov was born in St. Petersburg, Russia, but he was not about to divulge the year.
"I'm too old. Everybody will say, 'We have the old professor,'" he said.
He speaks five languages — Russian, German, French, Italian and English. Unfortunately, he said, English is his worst.
His resume boasts study under some of the most talented conductors in the world, including Mariss Janson, Ilja Musin and Alexander Dmitriev. He has conducting experience with well-known orchestras across Europe, Russia and South America. Notable examples include the Iceland Symphony Orchestra, Orchestre de Radio France and the Orchestre Philharmonique de Nice, also in France.
He has extensive knowledge of voice and all brass and string instruments, but his greatest strengths are the violin and the piano, both of which he has played since age 6.
Uljanov knew he wanted to be a conductor since he was 5 years old and attended his first ballet performance. He said the St. Petersburg ballet was one of the oldest and best in the world at that time. He said he believed that every child has some experience in their youth that makes a very strong impact and shapes their future and choice of profession.
"To be a great conductor, you have to be first a great performer." Ulianov said.
Currently his favorite composer is Beethoven, but he said in a month it will be different. He loves the composer whose music he is currently working on, he explained.
He came to Lawrence, which he described as a "small, nice,
very quiet city," to teach. He was taught that it is important to share your gifts with the next generation so that the art never dies.
When we came here, his wife,
Helen, and their two children,
ages 24 and 26, remained in Salzburg, Austria. Although he said
he wished to keep his private life
private, he lit up as he counted
how many days it would be until
he would see his wife.
"I miss every place I lived. Every place I lived more than two or three months, you leave some part of your heart of your life," he said.
At Work
Patrick Hauber, a Cleveland, Mo., graduate student, is one of Uljanov's three graduate conducting students. He said seeing Ulianov conduct was what made him to come to KU after graduating from the University of Missouri-Kansas City.
"The minute he steps up to the podium, it's just this electric energy that I've never seen from another conductor, not even the famous ones," Hauber said.
Hauber admitted that Ulijanov pushed his students hard, saying that although he got paid for eight hours, he usually worked far more.
"He's not the type of guy to hold your hand. He will just say what needs to be said and sometimes that will rub people the wrong way," Hauber said. "It's as natural to him as one foot in front of the other."
Ulijanov stays up until midnight many nights, thinking of new ways to do things and instituting outreach programs and partnerships. Hauber said. There are many administrative duties that accompany being a conductor.
Hauber said there were days when he would go home "mad as heck" at Uljanov, but after evaluating his own performance, he appreciated that Uljanov was a great teacher.
"If he were a mean person,he wouldn't be saying these things, he would be keeping them from us," he said.
"When you think about the budget that we don't have, and the staff that we do, it's really amazing that it gets pulled off," he said.
Although it isn't obvious, behind the polish of instruments and the formality of performance attire, a man sits in an office late into the evening, planning and devising new ways for his orchestra to be heard.

Site spotlights cheating men, warns women
BY RACHEL PARKER
rparker@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
rson
A new Web site, constructed in early November, allows women to post revenge on cheating boyfriends, fiances and husbands.
The site, dontdatehimgirl com, has become a trendy tool for women to warn other women of potential cheaters.
"My best friend dated a sleazeball, and I would so put his name in there," said Andrea Iman, Elkhart junior.
Iman said the site is funny and entertaining.
"I think it's a great resource for women," creater Tasha Cavelle Joseph said last week on the Today Show.
Joseph, a journalist, wrote a column for The Miami Herald for more than seven years. She was inspired to start the Web site after talking to friends about their relationships with cheating men.
Celebrity hotshots like Jude Law and Eric Benet have even been added to the database.
The searchable database lists men's full names, pictures and detailed descriptions of why they should be avoided.
Eric DeVault, Lawrence junior, said people wanted drama, and that's why men and women were debating the issue. The site, he said, would be another trend that stirs up drama.
He said the site could be slanderous toward men in some situations, but he was not worried about the site because he hadn't cheated on any girlfriends.
The site gives men a chance to counteract his bashing, by submitting a reply to the posting. If a man's contact information is given with the posting, he is sent an e-mail notification that he's on the Web site.
Out of more than 1,000 men who are listed, 50 to 100 have posted a reply.
Although women can post anonymously, the site keeps their information that is required for registration, in case Joseph finds false information in a post.
Joseph said the Web site, which has three other staff members, gets 580,000 hits a day and has 250,000 registered members. Maintaining the site is her full-time job. Users submit 100 men each day, and there is a backlog of about two thousand submissions that Joseph and her colleagues must sort.
Joseph updates a blog every few weeks. The blog includes "Cheaters of the Day," site promotions and funny stories about cheating men.
A countering Web site, dontdateherman.com, is in development and will be up the first week of April.

Correspondent retires after 38 years with show
NEWYORK - Mike Wallace, the hard-driving reporter who has been with "60 Minutes" since its start in 1968, said Tuesday he will retire as a regular correspondent on the show this spring.
A television news legend who was the last person an accused wrongdoer would want to see on his doorstep,
Wallace said he'll still do occasional reports for the show. CBS News President Sean McManus referred to him as a "correspondent emeritus."
Wallace, 87, has often said he'll retire "when my toes turn up."
"Well, they're just beginning to curl a trifle, which means that, as I approach my 88th birthday, it's become apparent to me that my eyes and ears, among other appurtenances, aren't quite what they used to be," he said.

Gina Penzig, spokeswoman for Westar Energy, said that almost everyone had power restored after Sunday's storm damage. However, when Westar crew members went out Tuesday to follow up their work, they discovered power lines down and houses without power that they were not aware of.
Cost and assessment of the damage will come from the Adjutant General's Office when the assessment team's information becomes available. Any federal aid the city could receive would be determined by the damage assessment.
they were not that hard."
"In storm situations, power outages can affect one single home, so it's harder to tell sometimes who has power and who does not," she said.
"This is why we're asking people to call our 800-number and let us know. Even if it's one or two people, we want them to call."
Westar electrical outage reporting line is 1-800-544-4857.
Penzig offered no specifics on any particular region in Lawrence where residents were still without power. The areas are pretty scattered, she said.
The East Lawrence Recreation Center, 1245 E. 15th St., was one of a few businesses that didn't regain power until Tuesday. The business opened back up after its power came back mid-morning.

Mass graves uncovered
BY STEVEN R. HURST
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAGHDAD, Iraq — Iraqi authorities discovered at least 87 corpses — men shot to death execution-style — as Iraq edged closer to open civil warfare. Twenty-nine of the bodies, dressed only in underwear, were dug out of a single grave Tuesday in a Shiite neighborhood of Baghdad.
Some of the bloodshed appeared to be retaliation for a bomb and mortar attack in the
Sadr City slum that killed at least 58 people and wounded more than 200 two days earlier.
Iraq's Interior Minister Bayan Jabr, meanwhile, told The Associated Press security officials had foiled a plot that would have put hundreds of al-Qaida men at critical guard posts around Baghdad's heavily fortified Green Zone, home to the U.S. and other foreign embassies, as well as the Iraqi government.
A senior Defense Ministry official said the 421 al-Qaida fighters
were recruited to storm the U.S. and British embassies and take hostages.
Several ranking Defense Ministry officials have been jailed in the plot, said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the information.
Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said Tuesday that he had not received anything definitive on the report, but cautioned that earlier accounts are often adjusted later on.

OUR OPINION
Freak storm prompts mixed responses
Sunday's wind storm blew hard through the city of Lawrence and the campus. Here's our run down of the good and bad of how the authorities and students handled the storm.
Good. Way to go Facilities Operations. With the hard work of all its employees, campus was cleaned up and made safe within 48 hours. At the peak of work on Sunday, more than 400 employees from ground and building crews were cleaning up and assessing damage. Workers stopped weekend plans and worked 10- to 12-hour shifts on Sunday.
Bad. Tornado sirens. The sirens went off late and students didn't have enough time to respond to them. Students said they didn't hear the siren wall.
Good. Classes were cancelled. Not only was this the smart thing for the University to do regarding safety and cleanup, but students got a surprise three-week and a mini-breather before Spring Break.
Bad. A poor job by the Public Safety Office in managing campus. Officers were incorrectly telling pedestrians that campus was closed. Their orders were to discourage students from being on campus, but The University Daily Kansan heard accounts from students about officers telling students they couldn't go on campus. Memorial Drive was blocked near Carruth
Issue: Official response to Sunday's storm
Stance: Overall, we applaud the University's and city's response to the unexpected damage.
and O'Leary Hall by an officer about 2 p.m. Sunday, but not on the Mississippi Street entrance. Officers later blocked both entrances.
Bad. Power outage. Students in the Oread Neighborhood didn't get power back until about midnight Sunday, and some not until Monday. Waiting to fix lines until the expected second storm, which never came, set the process back and left students in the dark.
Good. The office did cut down on campus foot traffic by Sunday afternoon.
Good. The Office of Admissions held special presentations for visitors who had campus tours scheduled for Monday. All of its staff was also working on presentations for the potential students and their families at the Visitor's Center west of Templin Hall.
Things get complicated during a fluke storm, and it's not easy to respond. Overall, the city and the University did a good job reacting to the storm.

Last week the editorial board suggested that casino gambling could benefit Kansas but that a casino shouldn't come to Lawrence.
SRI SWAMI RAMANUARA

But more casinos in Kansas will not help our state. To win at gambling, you need to understand the numbers, and they don't add up for this deal.
Kansas already has four casinos operated by Indian Tribes. Those casinos posted less than 1 percent growth last year, according to The Kansas City Star. Contrast that against the 15 percent growth experienced by tribal casinos nationwide last year.
While the gaming industry stagnates in Kansas,political lobbying for it has grown by leaps and bounds. Campaign contributions from the gaming industry have risen 300 percent in the past 6 years, according to The Wichita Eagle.
City that doesn't even exist.
Missouri made just over $400 million in tax revenue from 11 casinos last year, according to the American Gaming Association. The proponents of this bill have suggested that Kansas can earn $200 to $300 million a year on only two casinos plus slot machines at three race tracks. Of those three tracks, the Wyandotte County one would be in direct competition with one of the proposed casinos and track in Dodge
COURTNEY FARR
opinion@kansan.com
Bill 587 would put a casino in Wyandotte County and one in southeast Kansas. Trying to bank on the success of the Kansas Speedway and the surrounding area sounds great, but Kansas City already has a well established gaming industry. With four casinos in the area, the gambling market is at a saturation point — Kansas City residents don't need another place to throw dice or play slots.
If our representatives wanted to cash in on the gaming resurgence, we should have led rather than followed. Expanded gaming in Kansas 10 years ago would have been a great idea. Now, it's just bandwagon jumping. "Everyone else is doing it, so why not us" does not make good political reasoning. We don't let children use such logic and we shouldn't let our politicians either.
Missouri, Colorado and Oklahoma all have gambling establishments. Our two casinos would be put in direct competition with
those in Missouri and Oklahoma. With the glut of casinos available in surrounding states, these establishments would predominantly attract Kansans. This is opposite of the way a healthy gambling industry should act. A casino should attract outside tourism and take more money from tourists than it does locals.
If gambling revenue comes mainly from our own citizens, other Kansas businesses will suffer. Every local dollar lost to a casino is a dollar that could have gone to a Kansas-owned business and generated tax revenue for the state.
Admittedly, Kansas needs money. All governments need, or at least want, more money than they have. Gambling revenue sounds great, hundreds of millions of dollars without more taxes. But their dollar estimates don't make sense given the state of gambling in the Midwest.
My suggestion to the legislators: Give up on gambling. Put your time and our tax dollars to work building a stronger Kansas economy that continues to grow. Don't saddle us with state-owned casinos designed to siphon money away from Kansas businesses.

▼ GUEST COMMENTARY
Storm prompts unexpected unity in the face of adversity
About seven in the morning, I woke up to thunder outside my window. My cats, unfamiliar with thunderstorms, began to get ruffled. At eight, the thunder was closer and there was no sleep for me. I fully woke up with a wall of wind smashed into the side of my apartment building.
I peeked through my blinds in time to see debris spinning around and a small tree next to my parking lot getting ripped out and tossed like a toy into the street. I calmly sat down on my bed and thought to myself "Huh, a tornado." As branches and rocks hammered against my windows, I turned on the television just in time to see "Tornadoes ravage Midwest" on CNN. Then the power cut off as a crash shook the building.
I am a new graduate of the University of Michigan. I have been a student at MIT for 10 years and has taught courses in computer science, information technology, and data analysis. I am also a faculty member at MIT and have received numerous awards for my teaching and research. I am passionate about teaching and learning, and I believe that everyone can learn something new from this experience. I am looking forward to meeting you and discussing our course plans.

able to get back in. So, through the charity of one of my friends, I was able to sit in his living room and watch the damage unfold on the television screen.
I spent the day either in my car or glued to my computer and my friend's television. According to my landlord, the roof was unstable and there was a chance I would have to spend the night in a hotel. After what felt like one of the most exhausting days of my life, long hours of not knowing what was happening, I drove by the complex and there was a small piece of paper tacked to the first floor pillar. I could move back in.
By that point, it was 7 p.m., almost twelve hours after everyone in my building was put to the winds. Everyone was disheveled. Most of us hadn't showered. Five minutes after I moved in, the entire block lost power.

This was quickly followed with
weary laughter.
By then, it was almost pitch black out and the people moving back had become wraiths in the darkness. Somewhere in the darkness, a boom box came to life and began blasting Credence Clear Water Revival.
People began to sing along. One of my neighbors picked his way across the branches and bricks still littering our walkway and handed me a beer.
"Hey," he said. "At least we won."

Spring break fling can be liberating
.
▼ COMMENTARY
COURTNEY HAGEN opinion@kansan.com
Spring break is so close that you can almost taste the sticky, sweet syrup of strawberry margaritas or feel the sting of fresh snow on skin. A 2004 article from American Demographics reported that 2.14 million college students traveled for spring break in 2003. If you are like millions of other college students across this nation, you will be hitting the road headed to exotic locales or if you are really lucky, hotspots like Omaha, Tulsa or Pittsburgh.
Getting away for spring break provides a much-needed reprieve from the daily grind of life at the University of Kansas. Whether you are headed to the beach or headed home, the break brings fresh opportunities your way.
Such flippancy offers no greater time to plunge into the deep and murky waters of spring break hook-ups. The hook-up waters are never tame or easy to navigate. You have to jump in feet first, holding your breath and hope you will wash up with the tide once the ride is over. In these waters anything (and almost everything) goes. When anything goes, go with it. What happens in Cancun or Aspen stays in Cancun or Aspen.
Everything blooms in the spring, so why can't your life love? Spring break is the international mating call for all single and frisky college students. It is also probably one of the only times in one's life when the phrase "I'm sooooo drunk!" can sum up so many ideas at all once and pass as acceptable communication between adults.
There is no better time to experience a new love or reinvigorate an old one, than during spring break, when the mood is a little lighter and the sun is shining a little brighter.
While true and honest love might not hit you like a bottle of Budweiser on the head, at least the relaxation and utter frivolity of the break can bring you some much needed passion. You might not find your future spouse or life partner, but at least you might have a nice little romp in the sand or snow.
After all, if your hook-up (or lack there!) goes awry, you always have the cushion of hundreds of miles to distance you from your "Girls Gone Wild" behavior.
Though the chance to carelessly dissociate yourself from your careless behavior comes at a price. With excess comes consequence. If you are smart and lucky, the only thing you will bring home from your spring break is a nice looking tan and some really cool pictures.
So with that said, pack your bags, because your next spring break hook-up is just a few days and a plane flight or a road trip away. Be careful, have fun, and most importantly, have a drink for me!

Not-so center stage
Anthony Mattingly/KARSAN
From setting up rehearsals to announcing cues for actors, Ann Sitzman, Overland Park freshman, acts as stage manager for the KU department of Theatre & Film's production of *Ansthophanes* "A Congress of Women."
Sitzman dedicates time,energy doing work behind-the-scenes
BY MARK VIEIRDAELER
cylton@ansar.com
Before the actors arrive to paint their faces, the stage lights are fired up or the actors take the stage. Ann Sitzman unlocks the doors to the Inge Theater in Murphy Hall.
Sitzman, Overland Park freshman, stands in front of the light and soundboard. Below her, through the smudged glass of the control booth and past the light grid, she gazes at the stage and takes a deep breath.
"This is where I am for the show," Sitzman said. "Basi- cally, it's up to me to make sure the show runs smoothly."
Sitzman is the stage manager for the University of Kansas Theatre Department's production of Aristophanes" "A Congress
of Women". She sits behind the bright lights and applause, supporting the actors and the stage.
With a headset wrapped around her ears, in her black t-shirt she announces the cues to the soundboard operator. Down on the stage, a branch propped up in the background slowly slides down the backdrop. With a frustrated sigh she tramps down the stairs and props the branch up.
"They need to nail that thug or something," she said.
The branch slides back down as she walks off. Sitzman dismisses it with a wave of her hand as she heads downstairs to wrangle the actors.
I set up all the rehearsals she said. I run auditions. I took down all the blocking. I get the props out. I make sure the costumes are set."
In essence, Sitzman runs the show from her perch above the audience and actors. She said theatre is in her blood and she loved what she did, no matter whether she was back stage or facing the footlights.
"It's just this expressionistic art that shows life," she said. "it's compelling, it's interesting and it's unusual. It's this passionate form of art. It's amazing."
Beneath the stage is the green room, where the actors gather before the show. Sitzman leans against the wall next to a row of gray lockers in front of the women's locker room. Hanging on the lockers is a clipboard that the actors have to sign to let Sitzman know they're there.
"Hey, did you sign in?" she asked an actor as he walked by. He stops, shrugs sheepishly.
and admits that he didn't.
and admits that he thumts " You walked right by it" she said, grinning. "Actors"
Since she was asked to be stage manager in November, Sitzman said the show has consumed her entire life. Between making sure the costume designer is on track to making sure all props are available, she said she had spent the majority of her time in contact with one person or another.
"I had a life," she said. "I just
know I know what to do."
Dennis Christies; director of "Congress"; said choosing Sizman to be the stage manager seemed like a no-brauner after she ran lights for the fall semester production of "Popcorn"
"Ann is doing a wonderful job," he said. "Something about her made me think She'd be a great stage manager. And f
once in my life, I was right."
Christies said stage managing, a notoriously underappreciated job, involved more than simply making sure all cues were on time. The stage manager is a vital link between the actors and technical crew.
Sitzman also has the responsibility of making sure the director's vision of the play does not change as the shows wear on. She takes over the reins after the director gets the show up and running.
Despite all of this, Christilles said the show wouldn't have come together as smoothly as it did without Sitzman's help.
"This is her first time as stage manager," he said. "But you wouldn't know it from the way she has handled herself."

This isn't like last year
BY RYAN COLAIANNI
colaianini@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR SPEARTSWRITER
Stephen Vinson is tired of CBS's NCAA tournament commercials. Specifically the one shows the final play of last years Kansas-Bucknell game.
"You are trying to get excited about the tournament, but every time I watch something about it that's on there," Vinson said. "You think about it, but hopefully we will use it as a learning experience."
Kansas coach Bill Self didn't need to remind his team about what happened during last season's NCAA tournament. He joked that the media would take care of it.
"Why do I need to dwell on Bucknell when you guys will do that job for me?" Self said yesterday at his weekly conference.
Self's team no doubt remembers the loss to Bucknell during the first round of last year's tour
nament, but Self has noticed differences between last season's team and this season's team.
He said last year's team was tight when it went into the tournament and also had lost five of their last eight games, while this years team has been playing loose all season.
"A lot of that is youth," Self said of why this year's team has been so loose. "We have a bunch of young guys out there, and they don't know any better. Even when we're not playing well, they seem to enjoy playing with each other."
"I think a lot of times when you have the finality of it all, as a young team, you say. Well, I always got next year." Self said.
Senior guard Jeff Hawkins, for whom there is no "next year," said the team couldn't worry about
Bucknell because no one on the current team played an important role in that game. In addition, when Hawkins was intentionally fouled in a game against Oklahoma State last weekend, sophomore forward Darnell Jackson came to his defense. Hawkins said that probably would not have happened last season.
"It is more of a team." Hawkins said of this year's team. "The thing about last year is last year's team was a team, but we were not all one team. There were one or two people who were not all the way in and that affects chemistry. This year's team everyone is in. That's the special thing about this group."
Kansas, winners of 22 of its past 25 games, is one of the hottest teams in the country entering the NCAA tournament.
"This is a different team; we are young," sophomore guard Russell Robinson said. "No one on our team played in the
NCAA more than five minutes, so we are all excited for that." Basketball Notes;
Sophomore center CJ Giles has been battling a groin injury. Self said he expected the rest leading up to the tournament to help Giles and said that he should recover by Friday.
Freshman guard Brandon Rush was named by a first team freshman All-American by The Sporting News, the magazine announced Monday.
Allen Fieldhouse will be featured on Hardwood Heavens on the INHD Network starting tomorrow at 8:30 p.m. Narrated by Brent Musburger, Hardwood Heavens will feature the history and traditions of Allen Fieldhouse.
Kansas recruit Brady Morningstar, who has signed to play for Kansas next year, was at Allen Fieldhouse yesterday shooting before Kansas' practice.

Kansas Jayhawks hard at work getting ready for Thursday's WNIT game against Panthers
BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS
mphillips@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
If you're a KU student and planning on watching the men's NCAA tournament Thursday night, Bonnie Henrickson wants you to reconsider.
Kansas will open the WNIT against Northern Iowa Thursday at 7 p.m. in Allen Fieldhouse. Kansas officials announced Tuesday that the $8 ticket price would be waived for students with a valid KUID. The game will not be televised.
"You can't TiVo our game," the Kansas women's basketball coach said.
Kansas was selected to the tournament with a 16-12 record, including an 11-0 mark in non-conference play. The team finished the season by losing two
Should Kansas win, it would play host to Mississippi on Saturday at 2 p.m.

consecutive games to Kansas State by a combined margin of 38 points.
The coach will need a big game from senior forward Crystal Kemp, who is 6-foot-2, but will have to guard Panthers center Cassie Hager, who stands at 6-foot-7, the tallest player Kemp has matched up with all year.
"It felt like practice in October, defensively" Hendrickson said.
★ Thursday, March 16
★ 7 p.m.
★ Allen Fieldhouse
★ Free with KUID
Kansas' other players will
have their hands full on defense as well. Northern Iowa has three players who average double-figure scoring. Junior guard Sharita Smith will start for just the third time this season, replacing freshman guard Ivana Catic. Smith has struggled on the offensive end, but has provided a defensive spark for the Jayhawks, handling every opponent she has been put up against this season.
The back-to-basics practices will continue until Thursday's game. Because they were chosen to play host to the tournament, the Jayhawks will not have to travel.
It will be a nice bonus for the Jayhawks, though, who are 15-4 when playing at the fieldhouse, but only 1-8 in road games. That is mostly because of the fact that Kansas played all 11 of its nonconference games at home.
"We can't rely on the fact that we're here." Hehrickson said.
Kansas played only one other
team from the Missouri Valley Conference this year, defeating Creighton 63-52 in December. Northern Iowa lost twice to Creighton by a combined margin of only eight points.
Kansas fans will be familiar with the Missouri Valley by the time the weekend is over, as the Kansas men face Bradley on Friday night.
Henrickson also expressed disappointment on Tuesday that the Big 12 Conference landed only four teams in the NCAA tournament: Baylor, Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas A&M, and that Oklahoma, which finished 16-0 in Big 12 play, was awarded only a two seed.
The Big 12 put four of its teams in the WNIT as well. Iowa State, Kansas State and Nebraska all will play Thursday or Friday. Texas Tech declined its invitation to the tournament.

UNI will test KU's inside play with Hager
BY RVAN SCHNEIDER
rschneider@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR SWRITTER
Bonnie Henrickson didn't know the name of Northern Iowa's force in the paint, but the coach was wary of her.
Less than 24 hours after learning of her team's opponent, the Kansas coach knew the type of damage UNI's 6-foot-7-inch senior center Cassie Hager could do in Thursday night's first round game of the Women's National Invitational Tournament.
"Obviously, if we let her stand a foot from the rim all night that won't be good for us," Henrickson said. "We've got to make some adjustments and get her out from underneath the rim."
Defending Hager, the tallest player Kansas has faced all season, will be difficult considering that the Jayhawks' tallest player is five inches shorter. For most of the game, she'll be matched in the paint against Kansas' All-Big 12 forward Crystal Kemp, who is only 6-foot-2-inches tall.
On most nights, Kemp is among the tallest players on the floor, but Thursday will be much different. By comparison, Kansas men's basketball players Darnell Jackson and Christian Moody are both 6'8", just an inch taller than Hager.
Henrickson will attempt to simulate Hager's height in practice by using players from her men's practice team.
"A lot of times we don't let the guys block shots," Henrickson said. "We'll let him block shots for the next two days."
Hager paces the Panthers in several statistical categories, including blocks per game, where she ranks second in Division I. She averages 16 points, six rebounds and more than four blocks per game. And foul trouble hasn't been much of a problem for Hager this season, as she averages less than two fouls per game.

No break in coverage
As unfortunate as it is, I know that not all Kansas fans will be able to watch the NCAA tournament in person this year.
If had to guess, most KU fans will watch the Jayhawks in some form, mostly on television.
We realize that students make spring break plans that aren't in Lawrence. During spring break, our aim will be to deliver coverage that you couldn't get from purely watching television.
We've already made historic progress this semester. Two sports reporters, Daniel Berk and Michael Phillips, started a live blog from Dallas at the Big 12 Tournament.
We'll continue a live blog on kansan.com for the NCAA tournament, starting Friday in Detroit.
The University Daily Kansan won't be publishing a newspaper during break, but don't expect the sports coverage to dwindle.

Baseball exists, too
I'm calling a 20-second time out from March Madness, thanks to some early national recognition for the Kansas baseball team.
The Jayhawks (15-6), are ranked in Baseball America's top 25 poll for the second straight week. They also received votes in the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association poll and have been in the Collegiate Baseball poll this season.
Even if only barely (KU checks in at No. 25 in Baseball America), the team is receiving attention because of solid play against upperechelon competition. It's attention that is rarely seen around here.
The 'Hawks have not been afraid to go on the road to play the best teams in the nation, and that has paid off so far. Kansas won two out of three games at then-No. 19 Stanford back in early February. Stanford is now ranked No. 17 after dropping out of the rankings following its losses to Kansas.

Henrickson said one of her team's strengths, transition play, was the key to taking Hager's impact out of the game. If the Jayhawks could run and score in transition, she said it could eliminate the five-inch height disadvantage in the post.
Despite UNI's obvious height advantage, Henrickson has no plans of allowing Hager to control the paint. Instead, she wants her team to continue to be aggressive and attack the basket. A bright spot for Kansas is that Kemp can step outside the paint and take a jump shot, as well as battle inside the paint.
"We're fortunate that Crystal has a great touch and doesn't have to be a foot away from the rim to score," Henrickson said. "We still want Crystal go be aggressive and attack her."

Yankees worry for hurt Damon
BY MIKE FITZPATRICK
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TAMPA, Fla.- The New York Yankees were happy with Randy Johnson's outing Tuesday and worried about Johnny Damon's shoulder.
Johnson cruised through four efficient innings before tiring in the fifth, and New York lost to the St. Louis Cardinals 4-3.
The final score, however, was far less important to the Yankees than their center fielder's health more than 2,100 miles away in Anaheim, Calif., where Damon has been playing for the United States in the World Baseball Classic.
New York's biggest acquisition of the offseason has a sore left shoulder, the same one that hindered him late last year and weakened an already inferior throwing arm. He sat out Monday night's 7-3 loss to South Korea.
U. S. team spokesman Rob Butcher said Damon's latest aliment does not appear to be a serious injury. But this is exactly the kind of issue Yankees owner George Steinbrenner was referring to when he spoke out against the WBC.
"Nothing to say" Steinbrenner repeated twice Tuesday as he hustled to
Butcher said Damon's problem is being called "spring training shoulder," something players often get this time of year.
ward an elevator on his golf cart. "Ive said it all."
"From our standpoint, it's nothing more than a sore shoulder," Butcher said, adding that Damon is expected to be available for Thursday night's game against Mexico.
But Damon told reporters Monday night in Anaheim that he has been instructed not to throw for a few days by U.S. team trainers who consulted with New York general manager Brian Cashman.
Cashman, however, was returning to Tampa from his grandmother's funeral on Tuesday and indicated he didn't know much vet about the injury.
"I have no information on it. I will focus on that tomorrow." Cashman said through Yankees spokesman Rick Cerrope.
One thing is sure, the Yankees aren't happy about Damon hurting while far away from the team at the WBC.
"That's the thing you dread most is the injury," manager Joe Torre said. "It's sort of a helpless feeling."
Damon left Boston for a $52 million,

four-year contract with New York during the offseason. He has played in four of the Americans' five games in the inaugural WBC, going 1-for-7. Before sitting out Monday, he pinch-hit in Sunday's 4-3 victory over Japan.

This past weekend, Kansas lost two out of three games to No. 2 Clemson, again on the road, but was highly competitive on Saturday and Sunday. The Jayhawks beat the Tigers 6-5 on Saturday when freshman first baseman Preston Land hit a solo home run in the eighth inning. On Sunday, the Jayhawks led 2-1 after five innings before falling 4-3 in the late innings.
Those two series have put KU on the national baseball map. Kansas was one of only five Big 12 teams to be ranked this week, and is nipping at the heels of in-state rival Wichita State, which is ranked No. 23.
The key to continued success for the Jayhawks this year will be finishing in the upper half of the Big 12, which fields 10 teams in baseball. Kansas has never been one of the five best teams in the league, and in the same time period has not qualified for the NCAA tournament. In fact, the Jayhawks haven't been to the tournament since 1994, the year after their appearance in the College World Series.
In a traditionally strong conference like the Big 12, finishing in the top five usually gets a team into the tournament. Last season, the league's top five all made it to the tournament. Kansas' conference schedule starts this weekend at Baylor, which finished second in the conference
last year and went to the College World Series.
Kansas won 11 conference games last season and finished seventh. Fifth-place Oklahoma won 14, so to jump into the top half likely wouldn't take a huge improvement.
Coach Ritch Price has brought the Jayhawks out of the conference cellar and made them a tough team to face in his three-plus years at KU. If he and his squad can take the next step and make the NCAA tournament this season, it would go a long way toward making Kansas a force to be reckoned with in the Big 12 on a yearly basis.

Minnesota trades quarterback
BY JON KRAWCZYNSKI THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
▼ NFL
MINNEAPOLIS — The Minnesota Vikings traded Daunte Culpepper to the Miami Dolphins on Tuesday, granting the disgruntled quarterback's wish to leave the team after a subpar season that ended with a serious knee injury.
Vikings spokesman Tom West confirmed the deal, but did not give specifics. Several media reports say Minnesota received a second-round pick in return.
The deal gives Culpepper the out he wanted from Minnesota, where he made the Pro Bowl three times in seven seasons. But his relationship with the organization had deteriorated swiftly in recent weeks, when Culpepper said he felt unwanted.
The Dolphins declined to confirm the deal.
"Anything we do is contingent on a player passing a medical exam," said spokesman Harvey Greene, who declined further comment.
Culpepper is coming off a subpar season that ended Oct. 30, when he tore three ligaments in his knee during a game against Carolina. In seven games, he threw six touchdowns and 12 interceptions.
A deal had been in the works since the middle of last week, when Culpepper requested to be traded or released from his contract. Culpepper said then that he was upset by the tone of an e-mail sent to him from the Vikings' front office, but would not give details.
He said he appreciated that the team's new payer, Zygi Wilf, was willing to pay him a $6 million bonus due later this month.
"However, because of the fundamental differences I have with management regarding the approach to my personal and professional life, I think it is the best business decision for both parties to go our separate ways."
Culpepper said
The Vikings moved swiftly to accommodate Culpepper, speaking to the Dolphins and Raiders, among other teams.
Culpepper said then.

The Minnesota Vikings拔打 Dante Culpepper to the Miami Dolphins on Tuesday, granting the disgruntled quarterback's wish to leave the team after a subpar season that ended with a serious knee injury.
The trade marks the end of an era for the Vikings, who rose to unprecedented popularity in Minnesota thanks in large part to Culpepper throwing long passes to Randy Moss.
Bill Kostroun/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Vikings shipped Moss to the Raiders before last season, and now have completed the house-cleaning by sending Culpepper to Miami, which made getting a quarterback one of the team's highest priorities heading into free agency.
The Dolphins also spoke to free agent Drew Brees, but didn't want to pay the high price he was asking after shoulder surgery. Shortly after the Culpepper deal was announced, the New Orleans Saints said they agreed to a six-year contract with Brees.
Culpepper has his own injury concerns coming off the horrific knee injury against the Panthers. Even before the injury, Culpepper had fallen out of favor with fans in Minnesota during the Vikings' 2-5 start.
Veteran Brad Johnson took over when Culpepper went down, helping the Vikings to a 7-2 finish.
The Vikings were under pressure to deal Culpepper before the end of the month, or they would have been forced to pay an unhappy and injured player the $6 million bonus that was negotiated after the 2004 season.
Wilf said he was prepared to the pay the bonus, but with Culpepper's relationship with new coach Brad Childress getting off on a sour note, the team relented to Culpepper's trade demands.
The relationship was strained partly because Culpepper refused the Vikings' request that he rehab in the Twin Cities and get a
jump on learning Childress' version of the West Coast offense.
That, and the uncertainty that he would be back in time for the opening of next season, was enough for the Vikings.
Provided Culpepper passes the Dolphins' exam, it will bring to a close an up-and-down seven years as the Vikings' starting quarterback.
He burst onto the scene in 2000 in his first year as a starter, throwing for nearly 4,000 yards and 33 touchdowns to help lead the Vikings to the NFC Championship game. But that season was washed away with an embarrassing 41-0 loss to the Giants in the Meadowlands.
Culpepper had his finest season in 2004, completing nearly 70 percent of his passes with 39 touchdowns and a 110.9 rating. Only Peyton Manning's record-setting season kept Culpepper from the MVP award.
It all came crashing down last season, first with Culpepper's considerable struggles on the field and the infamous Lake Minnetonka boat party scandal. Culpepper and three other teammates were charged with several misdemeanors for alleged lewd conduct on the boat. Culpepper has proclaimed his innocence and vowed to fight them in court.

Eagles send receiver flying
By ROB MAADDI THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHILADELPHIA — Terrell Owens is free to play for any team willing to have him.
The Philadelphia Eagles released the exiled Owens on Tuesday, ending a tumultuous, two-year relationship with the wide receiver.
Owens was due a 85 million roster bonus on Wednesday, so the Eagles had to cut him or trade him before then to avoid paying him the money.
The move was a formality because Owens was kicked off the team in November following a series of incidents and infractions, including repeated criticism of quarterback Donovan McNabb.
The Eagles announced the cut in a one-sentence statement. Team officials said they would not comment.
The Eagles gave Owens and his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, permission to talk with other teams in January. The former All-Pro met with the Denver Broncos. Miami and Dallas reportedly have interest in Owens, and Kansas City president Carl Peterson has said he'd consider giving him a one-year, incentive-laden deal.
Owens helped the Eagles reach the Super Bowl in his first season in Philadelphia, but his problems started when he demanded a new contract just one year into a seven-year, $48.97 million deal.
He criticized management, feuded with McNabb, violated team policies and eventually was banished seven games into last season. An arbitrator upheld the Eagles' decision to suspend Owens without pay for four games and deactivate him the final five games.
Owens was set to earn base salaries of $770,000 plus $7.5 million in bonuses in 2006, $5.5 million in 2007, $6.5 million in 2008, $7.5 million in 2009, and $8.5 million in 2010.
It's unlikely he'll get a similar deal from another team.
The Eagles were 17-5 in games Owens played, including playoffs, and 4-9 without him. They finished 6-10 last year, missing the playoffs for the first time since 1999.
Owens came to the Eagles after eight often controversial seasons in San Francisco with a reputation for being a playmaker. However, his selfish behavior and flamboyant touchdown celebrations often overshadowed his performance on the field.
He caught 77 passes for 1,200 yards and 14 touchdowns in 2004, and made a valiant return from ankle surgery to play in Philadelphia's loss to New England in the Super Bowl.
From there, it was downhill. Owens took his first verbal shot at McNabb last April, suggesting the five-time Pro Bowl quarterback was tired in the fourth quarter against the Patriots.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Terrell Owens acknowledges the media as he arrives for his arbitration hearing Nov. 18, 2005, in Philadelphia.The Philadelphia Eagles released the exiled Owens on Tuesday March 14, 2006, ending a tumultuous, two-year relationship with the wide receiver.
From there, it was downhill.
McNabb responded harshly and the two didn't speak for a prolonged period in training camp. They briefly reconciled their relationship and performed well together on the field - Owens had 47 catches for 763 yards and six TDs in seven games last year.
Owens was sent home for one week from training camp last August after a heated dispute with coach Andy Reid that followed a shouting match with then-offensive coordinator Brad Childress.
Owens also annoyed the Eagles by breaking the dress code on road trips, parking in coaches' spots at the team's practice facility and sleeping through one team meeting, not bringing his playbook to another and refusing to open the playbook at another meeting.
In early November, the team had enough of Owens' antics after he again criticized McNabb, called the organization "classless" and fought with former
teammate Hugh Douglas
NEL
One day after the Eagles told him to go home for good, a contrite Owens pleaded for another chance in a public apology outside his home in Moore-stown, N.J., but the team was unmoved.
A five-time Pro Bowl receiver, Owens has 716 catches for 10,535 yards and 103 touchdowns, including two rushing scores, in 10 seasons in the NFL.
Saints sign quarterback to replace Brooks
BY BRETT MARTEL THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW ORLEANS — Freagent quarterback Drew Brees agreed to a six-year contract Tuesday with New Orleans, providing the Saints with a proven replacement for Aaron Brooks.
Brees is a bit of a question mark after injuring his throwing shoulder with San Diego in the final game of the season. He underwent surgery and said last
weekend he will take four or five months to be ready.
That could account for the terms of the contract, which guarantees money only in the first year. The deal calls for the Saints to pay Brees about $60 million over the life of the contract, including a $10 million bonus up front and a $12 million option in the second year.
"Drew was sufficiently impressed with the organization and the head coach in New Orleans," said Brees' agent, Tom Condon. "New Orleans was also very comfortable with the risk-reward, based on his rehabilitation from the injury, and Miami didn't have that same level of comfort, so New Orleans made a lot of sense for us."
Brooks is expected to be released by New Orleans after his worst season since taking over as the Saints starter in 2000.
With Brees as their starting quarterback, the pressure is
off the Saints to use the No. 2 choice in the draft on Southern California's Matt Leinart, who is expected to be available with Reggie Bush, the likely No.1 selection by Houston.
New Orleans, which has lost top center LeCharles Bentley and cornerback Fakir Brown to free agency, could choose another player or dangle their pick as trade bait for teams who covet the opportunity to take Leinart, the 2004 Heisman winner.

Checking scores on the sly

March's madness knows no boundary. The excitement and unpredictability of the games will not stay contained within the arena walls.
When the NCAA tournament tips into action, students across campus will monitor each game through their cell phones and laptops — during class.

Repola, like many other students, will do his best impression of a note-taker as he clicks through game-trackers on his laptop.

"I try not to show so much emotion," Repola said. "I try to be as quiet as I can."
"I probably won't be able to detect it," said David Holmes,
professor of psychology.
Holmes teaches an abnormal psychology class at 120 Budig. He endures what dozens of professors endure, a large Budig lecture hall lined with wireless Internet. It is a breeding ground

Lawrence does not qualify for federal aid
Governor Kathleen Sebelius will have a preliminary damage assessment team visit Lawrence on March 23 to assess and verify the damage from Sunday's microburst. The team is composed of federal, state and local representatives, according to a news release from Kansas Emergency Management.
The team will also determine if Douglas and Wyandotte counties and certain non profit organizations will receive federal funding for public infrastructures such as schools, roads, bridges and buildings.
Lawrence residents did not qualify for federal aid requirements. Damage to residents' homes and local businesses did not meet the minimum requirements needed to receive federal disaster assistance.
The federal minimum requirements states that 25 or more homes and businesses must have a minimum of 40 percent uninsured damage loss in order for federal assistance to be issued. The assessment teams discovered that only 12 homes sustained the required 40 percent or more damage.
Joy Moser, director of the Public Affairs office for Kansas Emergency Management, said that the preliminary team's arrival was the beginning of a lengthy process.

SPRING BREAK
Stay in control over break

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Christina Gekas, said she didn't consider herself a big drinker, but agreed she drank more on spring break trips, such as the one she took to South Padre, Texas, her freshman year.
The Eden Prairie, Minn., junior, said spring-break drinking differed from night-time binging.

tips for a safe spring break
"Chronically throughout the day you're just drinking," she said.
Patricia Denning, chief of staff at Watkins Memorial Health Center; Schuyler Bailey, KU Public Safety Office spokesman; and Bill Smith, health educator at Watkins, share their advice for a safe spring break.
Before you leave
A poll released by the American Medical Association earlier this month reinforced the stereotype of spring break as a drinking fiesta.
Eighty-three percent of the poll's respondents, 644 women who have attended college, said spring break trips included heavier drinking than college campuses.

- Always have a co-pilot
Schuyler Bailey, KU Public Safety Office spokesman, said s'students should relax and enjoy themselves during break, but be cognizant of the consequences of overdoing it.
Seventy-four percent of the poll's respondents said women used alcohol as an excuse for ostentatious behavior. People use it as an excuse to be crazy. Gekas said. Alcohol, paired with the spring break atmosphere, created what Gekas called the "what happens on spring break, stays on spring break" attitude.

Gekas agrees. After she spent a night collecting beads in a bead contest, the final round turned into flashing the crowd. Gekas withdrew.

said.
Despite the prominence of party-filled spring breaks, 81 percent of the poll's respondents supported the idea of colleges offering alternative, alcohol-free spring breaks.
Jackie Austin, Newton senior, spent one spring break with her boyfriend in Galveston, Texas. They spent their days on the beach, but rarely went out at night. Lawrence has a significant party scene, she said, so it
seemed nice to get away and really relax.
This year, she will travel back to Newton to spend time with her 4-year-old and 6-yearold brothers, who will also have spring break next week. The calmer trips are nice, she said, but she wouldn't mind taking a party trip at some point.
"Maybe next year," she said.

March's madness knows no boundary. The excitement and unpredictability of the games will not stay contained within the arena walls.
When the NCAA tournament tips into action, students across campus will monitor each game through their cell phones and laptops — during class.

Repola, like many other students, will do his best impression of a note-taker as he clicks through game-trackers on his laptop.

Others will hold their cell phones below the desk as they check score updates on the tournament. Those students watching live feeds or watching live updates will try to keep emotions and excitement intact. A bout of excitement over a good play could leave the student vulnerable to be caught.

Lawrence does not qualify for federal aid
Governor Kathleen Sebelius will have a preliminary damage assessment team visit Lawrence on March 23 to assess and verify the damage from Sunday's microburst. The team is composed of federal, state and local representatives, according to a news release from Kansas Emergency Management.
The team will also determine if Douglas and Wyandotte counties and certain non profit organizations will receive federal funding for public infrastructures such as schools, roads, bridges and buildings.
Lawrence residents did not qualify for federal aid requirements. Damage to residents' homes and local businesses did not meet the minimum requirements needed to receive federal disaster assistance.
The federal minimum requirements states that 25 or more homes and businesses must have a minimum of 40 percent uninsured damage loss in order for federal assistance to be issued. The assessment teams discovered that only 12 homes sustained the required 40 percent or more damage.
Joy Moser, director of the Public Affairs office for Kansas Emergency Management, said that the preliminary team's arrival was the beginning of a lengthy process.

SPRING BREAK
Stay in control over break

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Christina Gekas, said she didn't consider herself a big drinker, but agreed she drank more on spring break trips, such as the one she took to South Padre. Texas, her freshman year.
The Eden Prairie, Minn., junior, said spring-break drinking differed from night-time binging.

Tips for a safe spring break
patricia Denning, chief of staff at Watkins Memorial Health Center; Schuyler Bailey, KU Public Safety Office spokesman; and Bill Smith, health educator at Watkins, share their advice for a safe spring break.
"Chronically throughout the day you're just drinking," she said.
Before you leave
A poll released by the American Medical Association earlier this month reinforced the stereotype of spring break as a drinking fiesta.
Lock your doors, windows and vehicle
- Let someone know where you are going and when you plan to return.
Have your car checked
Eighty-three percent of the poll's respondents, 644 women who have attended college, said spring break trips included heavier drinking than college campuses.
On the road
- Rotate drivers, especially when driving at night
- Always have a co-pilot awake in the car
awake in the car
Wear seat belts Don't drink and drive
Seventy-four percent of the poll's respondents said women used alcohol as an excuse for ostentatious behavior. People use it as an excuse to be crazy, Gekas said. Alcohol, paired with the spring break atmosphere, created what Gekas called the "what happens on spring break, stays on spring break" attitude.
At the hotel
Use all of the locks on a door
Schuyler Bailey, KU Public Safety Office spokesman, said students should relax and enjoy themselves during break, but be cognizant of the consequences of overdoing it.
Use the peephole.

"Even though it's spring break, the sense of responsibility still needs to be in the back of your mind," he said.

Avoid water activities after drinking
Gekas agrees. After she spent a night collecting beads in a bead contest, the final round turned into flashing the crowd. Gekas withdrew. Much of the crowd was KU students, she said, and she knew she would have paid the consequences after break. Some people definitely get more out of control than others, she

What do you THINK?
I think we can go pretty deep this year. We'll either be ousted in the Sweet Sixteen by Memphis, probably. We could play either Gonzaga or UCLA, too — it's a pretty easy bracket. I say if we can get past Memphis, we'll lose to Duke in the Final Four.
The Kansas Senate voted 30-10 Wednesday to send Gov. Kathleen Sebelius a bill allowing Kansans to carry concealed weapons. Under the bill, qualified Kansans could receive a four-year permit, though carrying a concealed weapon would still be banned in courthouses, churches and libraries.

CAMPUS Endowment starts campus clean-up fund
Kansas University Endowment Association has set up a fund for donations to help with the campus recovery effort after Sunday's storm.
Since the fund was established at noon on Monday, the University has received donations from a variety of people, Jen Humphrey, senior editor of KU endowment, said.
Humphrey said several donors contributed to the recovery effort for various reasons. She said one person contributed because they were married in Danforth Chapel in 1992. Another had only been to the University once on a campus visit with his son and though his son didn't yet made the decision to go to the University, he thought that the campus was so beautiful that he decided to help with campus repairs. There was also a student who wanted to give because they weren't directly affected by the storm and wanted to help out.
Melinda Ricketts
"We're hoping that people concerned about the plight of campus being affected by the storm will give," Humphrey said.

For nearly an hour on stage, Ghost sifted through songs from all four of his previous albums as well as Wu-Tang classics like "Ice Cream" and "Protect Ya Neck." Ghost also had the crowd observe a five-second moment of silence for the late Ol' Dirty Bastard. Ghost then lead the crowd in a rendition of ODB's "Shimmy Shimmy Ya."
In a night that was reserved not only for musical performances, midway through his set, Ghost invited the girls in the crowd to the stage to dance alongside him. With the girls on stage, Ghost offered $100 'beans'—along with money being thrown from the crowd—to the girl with the best breasts. No girl chose to participate.

STUDENT SENATE
Senators must finish
hours in order to vote
Mel Horen, Overland Park junior and vice presidential candidate for ignite, was called before the StudEx committee Wednesday night for not completing her required outreach hours.
During the hearing she said she had completed the required hours, but she had written down the wrong due date to turn in the forms showing she had completed the hours.
The outreach hours that all senators are required to complete each year are meant to get the senators out into the
University of Kansas community and make more of a connection with students.
According to the Student Senate rules and regulations no action can be taken against the senators who fail to complete their hours until the end of the semester.
Horen, and 24 other senators that didn't complete their hours, were called before StudEx Wednesday. They will have until April 6 to complete the necessary hours. If those hours are not done, the senators may then not be allowed to vote at the joint Student Senate meeting at the end of the semester.

Chuck Marsh, professor of journalism, teaches Journalism 101 in Budig 110. He tells his classes if they use a laptop for class, they should sit in the back of the hall so they do not distract others. That rule won't change for the tournament.
Marsh said he would not point out a student who was tracking a game and not taking notes. He said he himself was once a student who listened to transistor radios through an earpiece that he would try to hide from his teachers. He said so long as it does not distract others, he does not mind.
Would he call a student out who shows a little too much excitement toward "taking notes?"
"I am so immature, I may point someone out," Marsh said laughing.
This year, tournament enthusiasts have a new weapon. In the past, fans could follow only updates on their cell phones or computers. This March, cbs sportsline.com is offering a free deal to watch an actual feed of a game just as it would appear on TV.
There is a limit on the number of people who can view the games, but that limit is in the hundreds of thousands.

Risks seen as small

KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
A 27-year-old Eudora man couldn't believe Lawrence Police Department seized his MAK-90 semiautomatic rifle from the trunk of his car.
The man declined to be identified for this story.
The man had been trying to sell his gun at a pawnshop Feb. 17 when police seized the weapon and cited him for having a gun within 200 feet of a bar.
The citation came under the recent revision to city ordinance 7976, which now prohibits possession of knives and firearms within 200 feet of businesses that serve alcohol.
Business owners, city management and Lawrence residents all have differing views on the ways to increase downtown safety and control weapons near nightlife spots.
City officials met with owners of alcohol-serving businesses March 6. Eileen Strong, owner of Strong's Antiques and Alnee's Coffee shop, 1025 Massachusetts St., hoped the meeting would create common goals for increasing downtown safety.
"The majority of establishments reported that they have had very few incidents that generate safety concerns," city attorney Scott Miller said. Another meeting is scheduled for April.
Business owners disagree with commissioners
At the Feb. 14 city commission
meeting, commissioners briefly mentioned the possibility of mandating closing times for bars. Jerry Neverve, co-owner of Red Lyon Tavern, 944 Massachusetts St., thinks such ideas are ignorant.
"I think everybody downtown would fight that," Nevere said. "This is a college town. If we try to curtail activity, it's going to have a significant economic impact."
In the past, City Commissioner David Schauer had questioned continuing to approve liquor licenses for downtown bars,
"You have one unfortunate incident downtown and people tend to over-react"
Jerry Neverve
Owner, Red Lyon Tavern
but Strong doubted such ideas would ever see fruition, nor does she think it should.
"I heard five years ago the City Commission isn't issuing any more liquor licenses," Strong said.
Strong said she hoped the city commission wouldn't focus on the Granada shooting, which she and Nevere said was an isolated incident.
"You have one unfortunate incident downtown and people tend to overreact," Neverve said. "The vast majority of places down
here take care of their customers.
The state level
State senators passed Senate bill 418, which allows the state to issue licenses for citizens to carry concealed weapons Wednesday 30-10.
Rep. Barbara Ballard (D-Lawrence) flatly opposed the bill.
"Kansas has some of the most lenient gun laws in the nation," Ballard said. "My constituents overwhelmingly are not in favor of concealed-carry.
Schauner also opposes concealed-carry laws.
"I think it's a negative, period." Schauner said.
Schauner also worries about self defense bills that allow a person to "shoot first and ask questions later." House bill 2577 states that a person, without attempting to flee first, can use deadly force against to prevent "great bodily harm" or to stop someone from breaking into a house.
Some Lawrence residents favor such concealed-carry and self defense laws. Lisa Day, who lives in eastern Lawrence, has spent most of her life in northeastern Kansas. She said law-abiding citizens want to protect themselves. "If criminals are afraid that their intended victims might be armed, they will think twice about committing those crimes," Day said. "Fail and prison don't scare them anymore. But death will."

IRAQ
Declassified papers show al-Qaeda presence
WASHINGTON — The Bush administration Wednesday night released the first declassified documents collected by U.S. intelligence during the Iraq war, showing among other things that Saddam Hussein's regime was monitoring reports that Iraqis and Saudis were heading to Afghanistan after the Sept. 11 attacks to fight U.S. troops.
The documents were released via a Pentagon Web site at the direction of National Intelligence Director John Negroponte.
Many were in Arabic — with no English translation — including one the administration said showed that Iraqi intelligence officials suspected al-Qaeda members were inside Iraq in 2002.
The Pentagon Web site described that document this way: "2002 Iraqi Intelligence Correspondence concerning the presence of al-Qaeda Members in
Iraq. Correspondence between IRS members on a suspicion, later confirmed, of the presence of an Al-Qaeda terrorist group. Moreover, it includes photos and names."
The release of the documents, is designed to allow lawmakers and the public to investigate what documents from Saddam's regime claimed about such issues as weapons of mass destruction and al-Qaeda before the United States invaded Iraq in March 2003.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. — One of Maria Carrillo's clients said thieves jumped him on payday because they knew he'd leave the check-cashing business with his pockets full of cash. How was he to know he could open a bank account in this country, Carrillo said, if he was still struggling to read in Spanish?
Many undocumented Latino immigrants shy away from mainstream lenders for fear that giving over personal identification could result in deportation. The USA Patriot Act requires banks to ask customers opening an account for their name, date of birth, address and a taxpayer identification number.
But in recent years, the number of products available to the undocumented has mushroomed.
In Illinois, non-citizens can now qualify for state-administered mortgage loans by providing a government-issued alternative to the Social Security number. In Kansas City, Moe., a family-owned bank with just eight branches started selling stored-value cards, a "starter" product that's not a bank ac

Dual-account cards are another popular option for clients who want to send remittances home. Many banks now offer savings accounts that feature a sub-account in Mexico, accessible via a Visa or MasterCard-branded debit card.
In Garden City, several companies are offering their employees payroll cards. It's another alternative to a bank account, and lets employers deposit workers' earnings directly to an account in the company's bank, which employees can then draw on from an ATM.
Bank of the West has installed a waterproof ATM inside the Holcomb IBP/Tyson meatpacking plant. The ATM can cash checks quickly to accommodate workers' short breaks, and can be hosed down when the factory gets a wash.

OUR OPINION
Need for slower speed: Memorial Drive unsafe
University officials are reacting appropriately to the incident. Donna Hultine, director of the KU parking department, said that parking along Memorial Drive will be reduced to one side, thus reducing the possibility of students jumping out suddenly in front of drivers. Other changes have also been proposed, from better enforcement of the 20 mile per hour speed limit to installing speed bumps at key points of the road.
It's been nearly three weeks since James Heylar was struck by a University staff member's car on Memorial Drive. Curator of graphics at the Kenneth Spencer Research Library, he was crossing the street near the Campanile when he was struck. The driver said the sun was in his eyes and prevented him from seeing Heylar.
Speed bumps seem the most applicable, especially at the crosswalks where Heylar was hit. They would not be too difficult to install and would not require constant surveillance by KU Public Safety officers, but would still

force drivers to slow down, giving them a better chance to react to anything that may appear in front of them. In one way, they would be a better speeding deterrent than officers. Students might get caught speeding by a patrolling officer, but their cars will definitely sustain damage if they hit an ever-present speed bump going too fast.
Ty Beaver for the editorial board
The University is acting in the correct way by preparing to reduce the parking on Memorial Drive and considering other changes to improve safety for pedestrians. But of all the proposed solutions, installing speed bumps that provide a constant reminder to watch the road and speedometer would be the best choice.
Greeks focus on values
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
The Feb. 24 editorial entitled "Fraternity reform focuses on manners" was a derivative of an article that appeared in Time magazine titled, "Taming the Toga." Both articles clearly misinterpreted the purpose and mission of the fraternities at the University of Kansas.
The original article in Time was addressing fraternities on a national level, and the editorial in the Kansan incorrectly made parallels to the member fraternities here.
As cited in the Kansan's editorial, there has never been a focus on unhealthy behaviors in the KU Greek community; rather, the focus has always been on building respectable men of character and value. In addition, the national push to focus
on "activities that promote healthy living and self-respect" is not only already prevalent in KU Interfraternity Council member fraternities, but is also facilitated by ongoing programming within KU's IFC, particularly with Project SafeWatch.
These initiatives by the Interfraternity Council and the member fraternities are not aimed at modifying the behaviors of fraternity men, but act as a resource for the men to use, reminding them of their continual pursuit of our greek values: scholarship, service to others, broth erhood and leadership.

Grain-based fuel alternative saves money, benefits politics
Imagine an America that could produce its own fuel source. In that America a crisis in the Middle East or South America would no longer send fuel prices up. In that America, foreign policy would not be as influenced by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries. Imagine not having to pay more than one plasma donation's worth of cash for gas for the next two weeks.
In that America, more Americans would profit from the fuel-making process. We also know, since George W. Bush opened our eyes, that an oil addiction is bad for our country. Ending the cravings for oil would greatly benefit this country and this state. This is all possible with ethanol.
Ethanol, which is commonly found in commercial grain alcohol, is a flammable liquid. It is currently used as an additive to gasoline by Casey's General Stores. However, with minor conversions to the standard internal combustion engine, ethanol could be more than just an additive. The benefits of ethanol are far reaching.
Using ethanol as a fuel source would help America determine its

own fuel prices. With its vast farmlands and yearly surplus of food, America could invest farm land into growing the grains needed to produce ethanol. The switch to ethanol would also benefit farmers by opening a new market in which Kansans could sell their goods.
PAGE 5A
Kicking the oil addiction would greatly change American foreign policy by altering its relationship with several Middle Eastern and South American countries. This change in policy would be extremely beneficial to America. With anti-American sentiment growing rapidly, a switch from oil to ethanol could save America from having to spend its resources to secure an ever-shrinking oil supply.
Some may say that using ethanol as a fuel source is a pipe-dream, but that idea is wrong and naive. Brazil has already begun
moving towards an ethanol fuel economy. According to the British Broadcasting Corporation, a majority of Brazilians have begun purchasing vehicles that can run on ethanol. They are already feeling the benefits of a home-grown fuel market. The BBC reported that Brazil has saved more than $400 billion. Ethanol costs consumers one-third the price of gasoline, and oil would have to drop almost half its value per barrel to compete with ethanol.
The benefits of kicking the oil habit through the use of ethanol are great for the citizens of Kansas. Not only would we pay less at the pump, but money would flow into the state. It would benefit the country as a whole by reducing our trade deficit and eliminating our dependence on foreign nations. If a country like Brazil can save $400 billion, imagine what an oil-hungry country like the United States could save.
So here is my challenge to Mr. Bush and the country as a whole: Push for a change to ethanol.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
The advice is out there
I suggest the editorial board do a little more research about advising. If one simply goes to www.advising.ku.edu/staff, a list of advisors for the Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center can be found.
There are 18—not 10 —professional advisors that can handle any academic situation. That does not include, however, the advisors from the departments (6), from the KU Medical Center (4), graduate advisors (1), adjunct advisers from different offices (7), and Peer Advisors (2).
Just counting the 18 professional advisors of the FSAC, the ratio comes out to 1 advisor per 578 students (not 1 per every 1000). Sounds big, but this is a "major

COMMENTARY
Why not blame Bush for weather?
P. R. MURPHY
I'm just going to come out and say it. George W. Bush hates white people. Apparently, he especially hates affluent ones and their children. What other conclusion can anyone come to after the poor reaction of the federal government to the destructive weather that struck Lawrence last weekend? It's not like President Bush can say that he didn't expect this. This part of the country is prone to horrible weather and it was only a matter of time before a tomado or a microburst hit east Lawrence.
"But Josh," you say, "why should the federal government be in charge of preparing Lawrence against something that everyone who lives here knows was bound to happen sooner or later?" I say that's the reason we have the federal government. It's too much to expect that our city commission or our chancellor or our governor or any of our representatives at the state or local level have any idea about what is going on. And it certainly ridiculous to expect them to come up with any type of contingency plan for things like this. No, it's much better to have bureaucrats in Washington doing all of these things for us. After all, that's exactly what FEMA is for.
And just as with Hurricane Katrina, the government, and especially President Bush, has let us down. I was shocked to see University employees having to cut down broken limbs and clear debris. Who does George W. Bush think he is by not sending us assistance for vital cleanup efforts? I'm on the verge of calling my senators to tell them that Bush needs to get on the ball and send someone here to clean up the pieces of plastic still on Iowa Street. The nerve of that man to expect that someone like the Lawrence Police Department should have to clean up a road hazard.
And let's not forget the fact that our warning sirens failed. I'm sure that with a little investigation, we'll find that President Bush cut funding somewhere and that's why they failed. Something as important to our safety as tornado sirens should not be paid for by the citizens of Lawrence, but by someone else, like the federal government.
Now, some will say that Lawrence should have had, and in fact did have, plans for handling the inevitable bad weather. They will probably also say that it's up to Lawrence to deal with these problems on their own instead of neglecting to do so and then expecting the federal government to come in with a complete bail out. To those people, I say you must be out of your mind. If you had the intelligence of a ferret and had watched the news at all, you must know that whenever something like this goes wrong, it's George W. Bush's fault. We had absolutely nothing to do with it.

FEDERAL LEGISLATION
Acts to limit funeral protesters
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
INDIANAPOLIS — Sen.
Evan Bayh (D-Ind.) said
Wednesday he plans to introduce the Dignity for Military Funerals Act, which would require protesters to stay 300 feet from a funeral.
"Our troops are among the most selfless and idealistic people I have met, and they should be buried with the dignity they
have earned," Bayh said in a statement.
Bayh's legislation would limit the area where protesters could gather an hour before and after funerals, as well as while the services are under way.
Meanwhile, Reps. Steve Buyer (R-Ind.), Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) and Jeff Miller (R-Fla.) announced separate plans to introduce legislation in the House that would require protestors to
stand 500 feet from funerals.
"It is outrageous, appalling and indecent for an American citizen to commit perversions against a military family grieving at their loss," Buyer said in a statement.
But attorney Shirley Phelps-Roper, a member of the Westboro Baptist Church that has protested at several military funerals, said it infringed on First Amendment freedoms.
"They're going to take the crowning jewels of the First Amendment and throw it in the trash," she said. "They think they can make us shut up. They're no different from the Taliban in Afghanistan."
The church recently has canceled planned protests in states where legislatures passed funeral limits. The group plans to travel to Washington, D.C., next month to picket Congress.

Nothing certain in tourney
When you filled out your bracket, you picked Connecticut, right? That is, unless you're a homer and picked Kansas, like me. Or maybe you picked Villanova, Duke or Memphis to win it all.
No matter how good a team is, its chances are against it. Since 1979, No.1 seeds have made it to the Final Four only 43 percent of the time, have won the national title a mere 12.96 percent of the time, and have won an average of only 3.27 games per tournament, if you count the byes they received before 1985 as victories.
They aren't bad choices, considering that each, aside from Kansas, has a No. 1 seed and hypothetically the easiest road to the Final Four in Indianapolis. Just don't be too hasty.
Need an example? Look no further than the 1996-97 Jayhawks. Entering the tournament with only one loss and five future NBA players, they were by far the best team in the country. Everyone and their mother was picking Kansas that year, but it lost to Arizona in the Sweet 16.
This year will be even tougher for the favorites to win six games in a row, since college basketball has been full of parity lately.
Connecticut and Villanova lost recently in the Big East tournament, Duke lost two of its last three regular-season games and Memphis lost late in the season to the University of Alabama-Birmingham. No team in the field of 64 is invincible.
Most of the time a team's chance depends on the breaks it receives. When Kansas won the 1988 national title, if the brackets had gone according to plan, it would have faced a No. 3 seed, a No. 2 seed and then three No. 1 seeds. Instead, every team Kansas should have played was upset by a lower seed, until they played Oklahoma in the national title game.
Don't get me wrong. Connecticut, Duke, Villanova and Memphis historically have a better chance of making the Final Four and winning it all than any other team in the tournament. Just don't assume any of them are sure things.
So if you give me a chance to take the field against the four No. 1 seeds, I'll take the field.

MEN'S BASKETBALL
Seniors fill important role
BY RYAN COLAIAanni
colaiaanni@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR SPORTSWRIETER
Kansas coach Bill Self apologized to senior forward Christian Moody on Sunday just after Kansas' 80-68 victory for the Big 12 Tournament title in Dallas.
Moody had played just six minutes in the three-day tournament and did not play against Texas or Oklahoma State. Self said he was sorry that his senior captain was unable to get in for the championship game.
"He is the best kid in the world, and he said, 'Coach, I am so happy for you.' Self said.
Moody was not upset — his team had just won a Big 12 title — and despite not playing in the game, the contributions of Moody and the two other seniors were the reason it was possible.
Moody, along with guards Stephen Vinson and Jeff Hawkins, began the season playing considerable minutes.
"It's not hard to take a back seat when you know it makes the team better," Vinson said. "I have known my role for quite some time and I'm happy as long as we are winning."
Moody and Hawkins both spent time in the starting lineup earlier this season. Hawkins started the first 11
it's not hard to take a back seat when you know it makes the team better."
Stephen Vinson Kansas guard
games of the season while Moody started seven games. Hawkins lost his spot to feshman guard Mario Chalmer while Moody lost his to freshman forward Julian Wright.
"He is still an important part of the team. He will be ready when his name is called," Self said of Moody. "He has been nothing but great as far as his mind-set, his attitude, the chemistry he has with the young guys."
Moody's job at the beginning of the season was to mentor Wright. He approached Self in December and said he understood that once the young players understood the system that they were going to help the team win more games, at the expense of Moody's minutes.
"It's definitely not that hard when you see him perform it so well and the team does it so well," Moody said of Wright and the freshmen's play this season.
Moody asked Self if the coach wanted him to tutor or to beat Wright in practice. Self told him to try to do both.
"He knew that when Julian got comfortable that there were some things that he could do that Christian wasn't going to do from an athletic standpoint," Self said.
While other seniors might have become depressed with losing their starting spots to freshmen, these seniors embraced it, and without doing that, the team might have continued its struggles after starting 3-4. Instead Kansas has won 22 of their past 25 and is one of the hottest teams in the nation entering the NCAA Tournament.
"That's one of the biggest reasons we've played well — Jeff, Stephen and Christian have all accepted their roles and have been great seniors," Self said. "You can have great senior players that aren't great in the locker room, and that kind of balances things out. Or you can have seniors that maybe don't get all the glamour or score all the points, but they allow others to be as good as they can be. That's what we have in our locker room right now. These guys have been fabulous."

'Hawks tip off WNIT

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
For the Kansas women's basketball team, playing in the WNIT tonight is a good thing. It's also a bad thing. It's also somewhere in between.
The WNIT could be the start of a return to prominence for Kansas, a school that was a pioneer in women's basketball by fielding a team before the NCAA sanctioned the sport, but has fallen on hard times recently.
"These kids can say that we were part of the class that got it turned around," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "I think they take great pride in that."
The tournament is also a disappointment. The Jayhawks started the year 12-0 and were mentioned on ESPN's Bracketology before losing nine of their next 11.

Field survives storm
BY ALISSA BAUER

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Hoglund Ballpark fared well against last Sunday's storm compared to the Jayhawk Soccer Complex and Arroa Ballpark, which suffered major damage to the bleachers and the backstop.
The few minor injuries at Hoglund, mostly cosmetic, will have plenty of time to heal before Kansas' next home game on March 29 against Wichita State.
Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said that everything should be repaired by then and that the total cost of repairs was still being calculated.
Damages sustained to the
ballpark included: a slight sag in the left-field wall and the batter's eve — which reduces glare
"We're pretty upset," junior pitcher Sean Land said. "We used to have a bullpen tree. We had all this shade during doubleheaders and stuff. We used to take care of it, water it all the time. We don't have any shade anymore."
in center field; advertising signs and the Kansas baseball tarp blown from the new scoreboard; netting disappeared from the Kansas bullpen; an infield stripped of dirt and a tree fell.
During the storm, the team was preparing for its series finale against Clemson in South Carolina. Around 9 a.m. Sunday, Kansas coach Ritch Price said he received a call from As
sociate Athletics Director Kelly Mehrtens.
Mehtens called to tell Price that a microburst hit Lawrence and that the backstop came down. Price didn't know Mehtens was talking about the backstop Kansas uses for batting practice, not the game field's backstop.
"So we feel obviously relieved," Price said. "The fallen backstop was righted and in full use during Tuesday's practice."
Price said the coaching staff and field crew spent four hours on the field on Monday, cleaning up and laying down new infield mix.
The most visible damage to the ballpark is probably the least important.

The Jayhawks meet for practice at Hoglund Ballpark on Tuesday. It was their first practice since the storm Sunday, and despite damage to the left field bullpen, the team is maintaining its regular practice schedule. Kansas does not have a game until March 29 and most of the repairs should be done by then.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL Pirates, Shockers are near-mirror images
When Seton Hall takes the court in its first-round NCAA tournament game and looks at its opponent, Wichita State, the Pirates will see a team that resembles themselves.
In fact, according to the Pirate players and head coach Louis Orr, the Shockers are almost a mirror image of the Pirates.
"I think we match up well against them. We are really very much alike," said junior guard Jamar Nutter.

Pitcher doesn't mind thin air
Player plans for success in mile high city
BY ARNIE STAPLETON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TUCSON, Ariz. — Ray King doesn't worry about Coors Field turning him from one of baseball's best left-handed setup men into just another pitcher relentlessly getting rocked in downtown Denver.
He's heard the horror stories about pitching at altitude in the hitter-friendly ballpark and he's not fazed one bit. After all, in 12 career appearances, King has compiled a 1.08 ERA in 8 1/3 innings at Coors.
"You get a breaking ball up,
it's supposed to get hit. You get a
fastball up, it's supposed to get
hit."
He insists a full season won't make a difference and that the thin air won't wear on him.
"A lot of times guys go in there and they go by what they hear instead of just going in and doing what they do," King said. "I've been fortunate to where I've had pretty good numbers going into Coors Field. I just think you go in there being a sinkerball pitcher and you throw the ball in the bottom of the zone.
Colorado Rockies catcher Danny Ardino rounds first after hitting a two-run double in the seventh inning against the Milwaukee Brewers at Hi Corbett Field in Tucson, Ariz., on Tuesday. Colorado won the game 9-5.
his walks down because the ballpark is so big a routine single can score a runner from first.
ROCKIES
A day after signing free agent right-hander Jose Mesa last December, the Rockies acquired King from St. Louis in exchange for infielder Aaron Miles and outfielder Larry Bigbie.
He said he just needs to keep
With Mesa, King and Mike DeJean serving as stoppers for All-Star closer Brian Fuentes, manager Clint Hurdle feels his team, which began hitting again over the second half of last season, will be the surprise of the NL West this season.
"Those three guys give us the most flexibility and the most talent we've ever had at the end of a game," Hurdle said. "We're going to be good."
When the Rockies were mulling their trade for King, they went to pitching coach Bob Apodaca, who tutored the stocky lefty in Milwaukee from 2000-01 and told them King would be a good fit in the bullpen and the clubhouse.
"It's more the Darryl Kyletype curveball that it affects. But the harder one that has a sharper break because it's more of a velocity pitch than an off-speed pitch is very little affected by it," Apodaca said. "Otherwise, Aaron Cook and Jason Jennings, who are sinker-slider guys, wouldn't have had success at Coors Field. Those kinds of pitchers can pitch anywhere, including Denver."
He said King's sharp sinker and nasty slider were perfect for Coors, which tends to wreck the big, looping curveballs which flatten out at altitude.
Plus, King had developed a commanding clubhouse presence during his stays in Atlanta and St. Louis after leaving Milwaukee following the 2002 season.

Kansas (13-12) will play Longwood, Also playing in the three-day tournament will be No. 16 Northwestern, Oklahoma State, San Diego State and host-school Hawaii.

NFL Owens released by Philadelphia Eagles
Owens is finally free to play for any team willing to have him after being released by the Philadelphia Eagles on Tuesday. The exiled Owens was due a $5 million roster bonus on Wednesday, so the Eagles had to cut him or trade him before then to avoid paying the money.
Terrell Owen's future employer can only hope the brasstalking wide receiver doesn't criticize teammates or coaches and disrupt the locker room.
The move was a formality because Owens was kicked off the team in November following a series of incidents and infractions, including repeated criticism of quarterback Donovan McNabb.
The Eagles gave Owens permission to talk with other teams in January, Denver, Miami and Dallas reportedly have interest in Owens. Kansas City president Carl Peterson said he'd consider giving him a one-year, incentive-laden deal. Owens helped the Eagles reach the Super Bowl in his first season in Philadelphia, but problems began when he demanded a new contract just one year into a seven-year, $48.97 million deal.

Kansas' region looking sharp
BY DANIEL BERK
dberk@kansan.com
KANSAN SE'FORD SWIMMER
Best player in the region
Here is a glance at the Oakland region and what to pay attention to in the first round.
Adam Morrison, Gonzaga. All Morrison did this season was lead the nation in scoring. The junior forward averaged 28.4 points per game this season. To put that in perspective, the most points a Kansas player scored all year in a single game was 25 by sophomore center Sasha Kaun. Morrison scored more than 40 points five times this season, including a season-high 44 points against Loyola Marymount.
Second best player in the region
Rodney Carney, Memphis. Carney is one of the most exciting players in college basketball. His highlight-reel dunks make it on SportsCenter almost every time his team takes the floor. Carney averages 17.5 points per game and more than four rebounds per game. Carney is Memphis' number one scoring option and might be the team's best defender. He usually defends the opposing team's best player. He has already guarded Morrison this year and also Duke senior guard J.J. Redick. Memphis is the No. 1 seed in the region and plays Oral Roberts in the first round Friday.
No. 8 seed Arkansas vs. No. 9 seed Bucknell. It's easy to pick the 8/9 game as the best match-up in the first round, and this region is no exception. It's an interesting game that will feature Arkansas from a major conference in the Southeastern Conference and Bucknell from the Patriot League. When the pairings were originally announced, Kansas fans in Dallas for the Big 12 Tournament booed when they saw Bucknell in the same region as Kansas. Arkansas fans probably cringed as well. Bucknell has proved it won't be intimidated in the first round, no matter who it draws. It should be a close, low-scoring game that gets decided at the end. Arkansas played Kansas this season in the Maui Invitational and won by one point.
Best match-un in the first round
Marcus Slaughter from San Diego State against Marco Killingsworth from Indiana. These are two of the most physical power forwards in all of college basketball. Slaughter scared San Diego State fans when he flirtd with the idea of jumping to the NBA. He attended the NBA pre-draft camp, before deciding to return for his junior season. Slaughter comes into the game averaging 16.6 points and 11 rebounds per game. Killingsworth, who is an inch shorter than Slaughter, but has 40 pounds on him, comes into the game averaging 17.3 points and eight rebounds a game. Killingsworth's best game of the season came against Duke when he
Best game in the first round
scored 34 points and grabbed 10 rebounds. His production slowed down, before he registered three straight double-doubles heading into the NCAA tournament.
Best chance for an upset in the first round
San Diego State against Indiana. Most analysts on ESPN were shocked when Indiana received a No. 6 seed. The team was thought to be on the bubble, but obviously wasn't. Indiana's season looked to be over when coach Mike Davis announced his resignation effective at the end of the season. Indiana struggled up until the announcement, losing six out of seven games. The Hoosiers recovered to win five out of their last seven games. The point is they are a very streaky team, and if they are not hitting their outside shots, any team is capable of beating them. San Diego State comes into the tournament as one of the hottest teams in the country. The Aztecs have won six games in a row and eight out of their last nine games. Besides boasting Slaughter, San Diego State also has the reigning Mountain West Player of the Year in junior guard Brandon Heath. Heath is averaging 18.5 points per game this season and could give Indiana defenders a headache.
Best potential second-round game
If both teams take care of business in the first round, the Kansas-Pittsburgh game looks to be the most intriguing. Pittsburgh boasts
If both teams take care of business in the first round, the Kansas-Pittsburgh game looks to be the most intriguing.
one of the best guards in the Big East in Carl Krauser. Krauser averages 15 points and nearly five assists a game. Kansas sophomore guard Russell Robinson would likely guard Krauser. Robinson was named to the All-Big 12 Defensive Team by the league's coaches this season. Those two would be a fun match-up to watch. Also, Pittsburgh has a talented big man in junior Aaron Gray. Gray is a seven-footer and will be a good match-up for Kansas big men Kaun and sophomore center CJ Giles.
This pick will not be popular among KU fans, but No. 2 seed UCLA boasts one of the best guards in the nation in sophomore Jordan Farmar. Farmar is complimented by sophomore Aaron Afflao in the back court. The two guards combine to average more than 30 points a game. UCLA is similar to Kansas in that its top four scorers are freshmen and sophomores. UCLA coach Ben Howland has turned the program around since the university fired its former coach Steve Lavin. UCLA has won seven games in a row.

Linebacker joins Browns
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Linebacker Willie McGinest signed with Cleveland on Wednesday, leaving New England to rejoin Brown's coach and former Patriots defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel.
The 34-year-old McGinest, a member of three Super Bowl winners, had been with the Patriots since getting drafted in the first round in 1994. He's the NFL career leader in postseason sacks with 16 and has 78 in the regular season. He signed a three-year, $12 million deal with $6 million in guarantees and incentives.
McGinest looked a bit out of place holding a No. 55 Browns jersey and said it seemed odd. He said he held no animosity toward New England for releasing him and looked forward to helping build the Browns into a winner.
to be a part of a family. They made me feel like family. They made me feel needed, like I could come in and help them."
The Browns were 6-10 last year in Creennel's first season and have been one of the most active teams this offseason. Cleveland has signed center LeCharles Bentley, wide receiver Joe Jurevicius, offensive lineman Kevin Shaffer, punter Dave Zastudil and defensive lineman Ted Washington.
"I didn't want to go to a team to sign a contract and get some money," said McGinest, wearing a Brown's cap. "I wanted
Meanwhile, NFC champion Seattle resigned Rocky Bernard, who led them in sacks this season. Bernard had been one of the more widely sought defensive linemen on the market. The Seahawks also re-signed wide receiver and punt returner Peter Warrick, the fourth overall pick in the 2000 draft, who they picked up when he was cut last season by Cincinnati.
Miami confirmed that it got quarterback Daunte Culpepper from Minnesota in return for a second-round draft choice. The deal was made public Tuesday.

"We're a good team," senior guard Kaylee Brown said. "We just have laps sometimes."
And for the senior class, it is somewhere in between. They admit it's not where they want to be, but it's still better than where they've been. Four years ago, the jayhawks finished their conference schedule 0-16.
Henrickson said one of the biggest struggles was creating a scouting report in such a short amount of time for two teams with whom the Jayhawks were not familiar.
"We're going to take what we can get," senior forward Crystal Kemp said. "It's just another chance to go out and get what we can."
That's exactly how the Jayhawks will approach tonight's game against Northern Iowa. Tip-off is at 7 p.m. at Allen Fieldhouse, and students will be admitted free with a valid KUID. (For more on the match-up between the two teams, see the Gameday page on page 88.)
If Kansas defeats Northern Iowa tonight, it will play Saturday afternoon against Mississippi at 2 p.m. That game would also be at Allen Fieldhouse.
"I'll look pretty rough by the time we get to Saturday, if we have that chance," Henrickson
joked.
The tournament will also be an opportunity for the young players to experience a quick turnaround. The Jayhawks have three seniors and only two juniors, and next year Henrickson will bring in a freshman class of seven players.
The coach has openly discussed the possibilities of playing in the postseason all year, and said that even though the regular season ended on a down note, the players should still be proud of their achievement.
"There were certainly some disappointing points in the season," she said. "But we have a chance to wipe the slate clean and be 0-0, and we're very thankful for that opportunity."
Kansas' appearance is not just good for itself, it is a boost to the WNIT as well. The tournament is able to stage games in a high-profile venue that has attendance well above the national average.
Fans tonight will get to see one of the final games for the senior class, but instead of dwelling on that, the seniors are looking ahead to what the younger players will accomplish in the future.
"They can have confidence going into the other seasons," Kemp said. "We know that we set the foundation for that."

Afenir and Parzyk improve catching and hitting to fill big shoes
By SHAWN SHROYER
sshroyer@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
When the Kansas baseball season started, catchers Buck Afenir and Dylan Parzyk appeared to be headed down separate paths while trying to replace former Johnny Bench Award semifinalist, Sean Richardson.
In the early running, Afenir swung the hotter bat while Parzyk wielded the more reliable glove. However, in the games since the 17-6 loss to San Diego, the two have become more complete players at and behind the plate.

those guys to fill awfully big shoes of a player who was really special for us for the two years that he started here."
Ritch Price Kansas baseball coach
"I think they've done a nice job," Kansas coach Ritch Price said. "I think we are asking those guys to fill awfully big shoes of a player who was really special for us for the two years that he started here."
Afenir was the starting catcher on opening day for the Jayhawks and responded with a hit in six of Kansas' first seven games. He struggled on defense, though, allowing several pitches to reach the backstop.

Freshman catcher Buck Afenir plays catch during practice at Hoglund Ballpark Tuesday. Afenir and junior catcher Dylan Parzyk have competed for playing time behind the plate much of the season.
Parzyk, on the other hand, didn't get his first hit until the fourth game of the season. His next hit didn't come until the San Diego game, six games later. Ironically, the San Diego game marked Parzyk's best at the plate, going 2-for-3 with a run scored and two RBI, but also marked his only flawed game on defense with his first passed ball of the season.
Parzyk hasn't allowed a passed ball since and has brought his hitting up to the same level as his defense, while Afenir is becoming more consistent behind the plate.
On the season, Afenir and Parzyk have a combined .225 batting average. In the three games after the San Diego game they have collected only one hit in 12 at bats. Since then, they have gone 6-for-26 during an eight-game span and collectively have managed one hit per game in four of the past six games. The two compiled just 10 hits in 45 at bats during their first 13 games of the season and went hilftess in five of those games.
Afenir said his improvements at the plate were a result of becoming a more disciplined hitter.
"I've been working all I can, trying to be a more selective hitter," he said. "Just trying to hit better pitches."
Parzyk has spent extra time with assistant coach Kevin Tucker to make adjustments to his swing and said he expected his batting statistics to improve with more playing time.
"It's going to come with time, you know, a couple games back-to-back, I think I could get back in that rhythm," he said. "I think it'll come around, it'll be there."

Price said he usually gave more playing time to whichever catcher was performing better defensively, regardless of offensive numbers.
"You have to be a defensive player first if you're going to be on a really good team," Price said. "With our pitching situation and how good we catch the ball in the infield, we need that guy to be a solid force behind the plate and allow our pitchers to pitch to contact and let our defense play."

Brees signs with New Orleans
AP Photo/Bill Habea
TICKETS ONLY FOR THE CITY OF MEMPHIS IN STATE OF TEXAS. MAY 27, 2015.
New Orleans Saints and former San Diego Chargers quarterback Drew Brees escorts his wife, Brittany, from a news conference at the New Orleans Saints training facility in Metairie, La. Wednesday. Brees, a free agent from the Chargers, signed a new contract with the Saints.
BY BRETT MARTEL
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW ORLEANS — All the concerns about whether hurricane damage would deter free agents from coming to New Orleans didn't stop Drew Brees.
Brees, who won 20 games in the past two seasons with the San Diego Chargers, agreed Tuesday to a six-year contract with the Saints — a team that, like its home city, is rebuilding.
The Miami Dolphins also had seriously pursued Brees, but ultimately traded for Minnesota quarterback Daunte Culpepper instead.
Brees, who turned 27 in January and has played his entire five-year career for San Diego, underwent surgery and said last weekend he will need four or five months to be ready.
Barring unforeseen complications with Brees' rehabilitation of his throwing shoulder, which he injured in the last game of the 2005 season, the Saints now have a proven replacement at quarterback for Aaron Brooks.
That could account for the terms of the contract, which guarantees money only in the first year. The deal calls for the Saints to pay Brees about $60 million over the life of the contract, including a $10 million bonus up front and a $12 million option in the second year.
"Drew was sufficiently impressed with the organization and the head coach in New Orleans," said Brees' agent, Tom Condon, referring to new Saints coach Sean Payton. "New Orleans was also very comfortable with the risk-reward, based on his rehabilitation from the injury, and Miami didn't have that same level of comfort, so New Orleans made a lot of sense for us."
Saints general manager Mickey Loomis met briefly with reporters at the Saints' suburban training facility Tuesday night, but declined to take questions.
"Obviously there are great coaches on both teams, but I just felt that energy in New Orleans," Brees said Tuesday night. "From the very beginning, there was a genuine feeling that they wanted me there. They believe I can come back from this shoulder injury and lead them to a championship. They were as confident as I am, and that meant a lot."
"I'm just here to confirm we
Brooks is expected to be released by New Orleans after his worst season since taking over as the Saints starter after Jeff Blake's injury during the 2000 season. Loomis said last week that the Saints were ready to "move on" at quarterback and that Brooks would likely be playing elsewhere next season.
have an agreement in principle with Drew to become a New Orleans Saint", Loomis said "We're real excited about that."
Loomis declined to discuss the rationale behind the structure of Brees' new contract.
New Orleans has lost top center LeCharles Bentley, defensive end Darren Howard, linebacker Sedrick Hodge and cornerback Fakir Brown to free agency.
Brees has thrown for more than 3,000 yards in three of the past four seasons. He led the Chargers to a playoff appearance in 2004.
The 32nd overall pick in the 2001 draft, Brees struggled in his first few seasons, leading the Chargers to trade Eli Manning to the New York Giants for quarterback Philp Rivers on the day of the 2004 draft.
But Rivers spent the past two seasons on the bench as Brees flourished.
NCAA TOURNAMENT
BY NANCY ARMOUR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
This year's NCAA tournament is a family affair for the Dixons.
Pittsburgh coach Jamie Dixon is taking his Panthers to the men's tournament for a third straight year. Not to be outdone, little sister Maggie led Army to its first bid in the women's field, six months after getting her first head coaching job.
"What can I tell you? It's beyond belief," said their proud father, Jim Dixon. "It's a wonderful, wonderful thing."
Historical too. The Dixons are believed to be the first brother and sister to coach in the Division-I tournament in the same year.
"It was never determined,
went from walking off the street to being a recruiting coordinator in two years."
"This is what you're going to do, be the first brother and sister in the NCAA tournament," Jim Dixon said. "You never thought about those implications. But since this is what we've got, we'll take it."
coordinator.
Maggie Dixon had thought about coaching, and even sent out a few resumes. But the talk with her brother accelerated the process.
Maggie had hoped to play in the WNBA after graduating from the University of San Diego. When the Los Angeles Sparks cut her after a tryout in May 2005, she was devastated.
Naturally, one of the first people she called was her big brother.
Maggie Dixon Army women's basketball coach
Jamie was already well into his coaching career by then. After stints at UC-Santa Barbara, Hawaii and Northern Arizona, he followed Ben Howland to Pitt in 1999 as Howland's associate head coach and recruiting
"He said, 'If you want to do this coaching thing, do something drastic.'" she recalled. "That's what I did."
A friend was moving to Chicago, and Maggie offered to drive with her. When she got to Chicago, she dropped in on DePaul coach Doug Bruno and asked if he'd hire her. Though he didn't know her, Bruno offered her a job working one of his camps.
A few weeks later, he hired her as a graduate assistant. Dixon was promoted to full-time assistant the next May, and Bruno's recruiting coordinator a
year after that. In May 2004, Bruno made her his top assistant.
"I went from walking off the street to being a recruiting coordinator in two years," Maggie Dixon said. "Jamie and I always joked that I was going to be a head coach before he was."
When Army found itself without a coach last October, two weeks before practice began, the Black Knights called Maggie Dixon.
"I knew she'd have success," Jamie Dixon said. "I knew it was going to happen, but obviously didn't know it would happen this quickly. The timing did not lend one to believe there would be immediate success in the first year."

Jayhawks prepared for Panthers
KU Tip-off
LAST TIME OUT
The saying might be that it's hard to beat a team three times in a season, but it wasn't for Kansas State. At the Big 12 Tournament in Dallas, the Wildcats dispatched the Jay-hawks 72-52 in a first-round game. The Wildcats, led by freshman Shalee Lehning's 20 points, scored 15 of the first half's final 18 points to put the game out of reach. The Jay-hawks had no answer for the Wildcat shooters, who shot 52 percent from the field.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Freshman guard Ivana Catic. Since the emergence of junior guard Sharita Smith on defense, Catic hasn't been seen as much, but if the team falls behind, she will be the first one off the bench. As the team's only true point guard, she is the most proficient at running the KU offense. However, she doesn't provide the defensive presence of Smith, and if she enters with the Jayhawks trailing, the rest of the team will have to step up on defense to ensure that the Panthers' lead doesn't get out of hand.
2000 — The last time Kansas
5 QUICK FACTS
2000 — The last time Kansas made the postseason.
3 — The number of Kansas players (senior forward Crystal Kemp and sophomore forwards Taylor McIntosh and Jamie Boyd) named to the Academic All-Big 12 first team.
4-0 — The Jayhawks' all-time record against Northern Iowa.
1-3 — Both teams' record in their last four games.
1995 — The last time the Jayhawks and Panthers met. The game was also the debut for Northern Iowa head coach Tony DiCecco
SLASON IN REVIEW
The Jayhawks came down as fast as they went up. A 12-0 start had some speculating that the Jayhawks would get ranked, but instead they lost nine of their next 11. The team was able to pull off only one road victory all season, a 57-56 overtime victory against Iowa State. That, along with home victories against Texas and Missouri, are the marque victories for this year's team.
KEY TO VICTORY
As simple as it sounds, Kansas has to make shots. If the offense isn't clicking early, the players run the risk of getting frustrated and trying to force bad passes inside the paint to Kemp. It is important for the offense to run the fastbreak and create shots early in the possession. Kansas has struggled to create shots with the shot clock winding down. If the Jayhawks can score 65 points or more, look for them to come away victorious.
Kansas vs. Northern Iowa 7 p.m., Allen Fieldhouse
Kansas
OFFENSE
It was a tough end to the season for a team that prided itself on offense at the beginning of the season. Kansas has scored more than 60 points only once in the past eight games, going 2-6 during that time. To turn things around, Kansas will need a big performance from senior guard Kaylee Brown, who has been in a shooting slump since an ankle injury a couple of weeks ago. Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said after the Big 12 tournament game that she was disappointed with Brown's decision-making and performance. Tonight will be Brown's opportunity to re-establish herself as a legitimate three-point threat alongside senior guard Erica Hallman, who is ranked fourth in the Big 12 for three-point shooting.
KU
KU
DEFENSE
The offense might be on a decline, but Kansas' defense has shown improvement in the final weeks of the season. Junior guard Sharita Smith played herself into a spot in the starting lineup after holding Missouri's LaToya Bond to four points and Iowa State's Lyndsev Medders to seven points.
The challenge for Kansas will be to spread the defense across the court. Instead of just one offensive threat, Northern Iowa has four scorers on the court and three players who average double-digit point totals. Expect Northern Iowa to set many screens. Kansas has struggled against screens before, allowing opponents to create open shots. It may not be a Big 12 team, but Northern Iowa has the size to play with one and execute a similar game plan.
KU KU KU
COACHING
Getting the Jayhawks into the postseason for the first time since 2000 is a sign that good things are in Henrickson's future. At times, Kansas has played above its potential and beaten better teams such as Texas and Missouri. But at times the Jayhawks have underperformed; Kansas lost to cellar-dweller Colorado twice during the regular season.
In the postseason there is no margin for error, and Kansas can't afford to fall into a hole early, as it has in the past two games. Henrickson and staff have done their homework, getting the scouting report assembled during a sleepless Monday night after receiving the WNIT bid. The Jayhawks also have a homecourt advantage, which they received after the Kansas administration lobbied for it with the WNIT.
KU KU KU
Michael Phillips
Northern Iowa
OFFENSE
Despite being from a mid-major conference, the Panthers can compete with major conferences. Northern Iowa has four starters averaging double-digits, including two forwards each averaging more than 14 points per game. Senior Cassie Hager, the Panthers' 6-foot-7 center, can present a challenge to teams like Kansas, which is not accustomed to guarding players over 6-foot-3. Junior forward Tara King can also step out from under the basket and shoot the three, knocking down 48 percent of her three-point shots. Kansas has had trouble with post players who can shoot from behind the arc.
UNI UNI
DEFENSE
Despite having one of the nation's best shot blockers in Hager, the Panthers have struggled at times defensively, like the Jayhawks. In the Panthers' losses late in the season, the team is giving up more than 60 points per game, yet struggling to score near its average of 62.8 per game. Even though the team features one of the nation's tallest players, the Panthers struggle to out-rebound opponents. Teams have struggled against Kansas when senior guards Erica Hallman and Kaylee Brown knock down three-point shots. If Northern Iowa allows Kansas' guards to get open looks on the perimeter, the Panthers winless streak in the post-season should continue.
UNI UNI
COACHING
Northern Iowa coach Tony DiCecco is wrapping up his 11th season in Cedar Falls, Iowa. The Panthers have over-achieved at times this season, starting the season with two victories against Illinois and Colorado. They also dropped several games that could have put them on the NCAA bubble. The team dropped both games to WNIT top seed Indiana State as well as a game against NCAA Tournament bound Iowa. Northern Iowa's sloppy finish to the season didn't help its tournament chances. The team dropped three of its last four games. This is DiCecco's third WNIT appearance. The Panthers have yet to win a postseason game under DiCecco, though.
UNI UNI
Ryan Schneider
UNI Tip-off
LAST TIME OUT
Northern Iowa lost to eventual Missouri Valley Conference champion Missouri State 62-59 in the semifinals of the conference tournament. Junior guard Jessie Biggs led the Panthers with 18 points and seven rebounds in 40 minutes on the court. Northern Iowa also had forward Tara King and center Cassie Hager in double figures. It was Northern Iowa's first loss to Missouri State this season.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Hager.The Panthers' 6-foot-7 center leads the team in scoring, averaging 16 points, six rebounds and four blocks per game. Perhaps most impressive is that she also averages less than two fouls per game.In last week's Missouri Valley Tournament, Hager averaged 16 points and seven blocks per game.
5 QUICK FACTS
2 — Hager's rank in average blocked shots per game in Division I.
3 — Number of WNIT appearances for Northern Iowa under coach Tony DiCecco.
29. 75 — Kansas' average margin of victory in its four meetings — all victories
against Northern Iowa.
2 Two consecutive WNIT champions have come from the Missouri Valley Conference.
14 — The number of players, out of 16 total, on Northern Iowa's roster from the state of Iowa. The other two are from Minnesota
SEASON IN REVIEW
The Panthers enter the preliminary round of the WNIT losing three of their last four games by a combined 10 points. Despite playing in a mid-major conference, Northern Iowa went on the road and defeated two major conference teams. It defeated NCAA Tournament-bound Missouri State twice this season, proving it can beat a tournament-quality team.
KEY TO VICTORY
Hager is tallest player the Jayhawks have faced this season. Her height is an obvious advantage for Northern Iowa in the paint. She has not faced an opponent as skilled as Kansas senior forward Crystal Kemp. Whoever wins the battle in the post will control the pace of the game. Kansas likes to run in transition, which could eliminate Hager's height advantage. If the Panthers control the tempo and maximize Hager's abilities, though, the Jayhawks' postseason visit could be short lived.
NBA
Carmelo finishes in the clutch, Nuggets beat Pacers
BY MICHAEL MAROT THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
INDIANAPOLIS — George Karl figured there was only one option when the Denver Nuggets needed a last-second shot Wednesday night — Carmelo Anthony.
So Karl did the obvious thing after calling time-out with 18.6 seconds left. He called for Anthony to isolate himself on the right side and back away from a defender. Anthony executed the play perfectly, hitting an 18-foot fadeaway with 2.2 seconds left to give the Nuggets a 101-99 victory at Indiana.
"He's a special guy, he was almost perfect tonight," Karl said. "If he misses, we probably get the tip-in anyway."
Although Andre Miller was
effective, scoring 21 points and handing out nine assists, and Marcus Camby and Ruben Patterson both scored in double figures, Anthony has simply been too good lately.
He entered the game averaging more than 29 points and connecting on more than 58 percent of his shots in March, and delivered in a similar fashion Wednesday.
He shot 12-of-25, finished with 31 points — his third straight game topping 30—and was flawless on the final play as Denver (37-29) improved to 4-1 on its seven-game road trip.
The Pacers (32-30) struggled again in the first half, falling into a deep deficit in the game's opening 6 minutes. They spent the rest of the night trying to play catch
up and have lost four of six.
Stojakovic led the Pacers with 22 points, while Stephen Jackson finished with 21 despite shooting just 6-of-21 from the field.
Indiana did manage to erase a 16-point third-quarter deficit and had a chance to win when Peja Stojakovic lined up a 3-pointer at the buzzer. But the ball rimmed out.
"The first half was disappointing again and we have to solve that," Carlisle said. "This is a very important time for us if we're going to be a team that makes the playoffs."
What upset coach Rick Carlisle was another poor start.
Both teams were short-handed.
Pacers forward Scot Pollard sat out with a bothersome foot,
and Carlisle tried to improvise by starting Austin Croshere. It was Croshere's first appearance since sustaining a concussion on Jan. 31. He logged less than 5 minutes.
"In all fairness to Austin, it was probably a mistake to put him out there." Carlisle said.
Karl had a similar issues. Before the game, the Nuggets announced that Kenyon Martin would sit out because of tendinitis in his left knee, and Camby needed X-rays on his sore left hand.
There was worse news afterward. Backup point guard Earl Boykins apparently banged his left hand during the fourth
Camby played, Martin did not. Strangely, the Nuggets are now 27-11 when either Martin or Camby don't play.
The Nuggets got started quickly, building a 21-10 lead midway through the first quarter.
The Pacers got as close as 40-35 in the first half and trailed 61-47 at halftime after the Nuggets, who shot 58 percent in the first two quarters.
Still, the injuries could not tarnish another solid shooting night from Denver — or Anthony.
The Pacers finally got going late in the third quarter, rallying from a 16-point deficit with a 7-1 run to close out the quarter. They opened the fourth with three
quarter, an injury that was later diagnosed as a fracture. He's expected to return to Denver on Thursday for further evaluation, but Karl said it's likely he could miss up to five weeks.
"I thought in the second half, we did a good job of sticking with what we had to do to give ourselves a chance," Carlisle said.
Jackson made two free throws with 3'01 left to get the Pacers within 95-93, and when Stojakovic and Anthony Johnson hit back-to-back 3-pointers, Indiana had finally tied the score at 99 with 1:10 left.
straight points to make it 82-77.

Both teams had chances to take the lead in the last minute, but Anthony delivered with usual clutch shot.
"I couldn't make a layup in this place, but I hit that shot," Anthony said. "They were all banging me a little bit. Bang me all you want, I'm going to make the shot when it counts."

SPEAK diamonds are a girl's best friend
Along with the standard fairy tales, I grew up hearing the terribil story of my parents' courtship. They met at a Halloween party; she said something so sharp about his Hulk costume that they both refused to ever repeat it. Shortly thereafter, they began the three years of dating that preceded their 24-year (this April) marriage. The details of the courtship blurred together until I got old enough to be courted myself and realized how remarkable they were. "Your dad spent all his money on me," my mom would say."I needed to fatten you up," he replied.

He would drive 30 minutes to her parents' house to pick her up, and again to drop her off at the end of the night — four times a week "We saw every movie," my mom says. "We had so much fun," my dad replies. I took for granted certain details, like the time my dad picked my mom up from her job at the hospital and bought her a new outfit at Dillard's so they could go to a nice restaurant. My dad's car (the passenger door of which he opened for her every time) didn't have a radio, so they talked the whole time during those long car rides — conversations to which they both credit their marriage.
It itseems our generation took the last vestiges of dating culture and replaced them with hooking up — a tradition that, at least to me, is hollow and pale compared to old-fashioned courtship.
What happened? Rachel Zupek's article (p.10) explores the lost art of dating, and the hook-up that replaced it. It's something all of us — single, taken, or somewhere in between — could learn from.
My mom says, "Your dad still treats me like he can't believe I ever went out with him."

A TASTE OF THAILAND
by Melissa Byrd

KIT LEFFLER
Bye-bye, burger — make room for something exotic
If you've ever wanted to try Thai food, but you don't know your panang from your pad thai, read on. Knowing a few Thai food basics will make you an expert in no time.
When I tried Thai cuisine for the first time,
Thai food essentials
I actually thought I was in a
Chinese restaurant — until I saw the menu. Dishes such as green curry beef, tom yum and chicken pad sea-ewe are far removed from the old Chinese standbys like General Tao's chicken and crab rangoon.
The helpful server gave me a tip: Thai food is generally sweet, sour, spicy or salty — sometimes a mixture of all four. In fact, in Thailand, a meal may not even be considered satisfying unless it covers
all four tastes, says Darlene Schmidt, Thai food cook, educator and enthusiast.
WANNA TRY SOME THAI?
Thai Siam, 601 Kasold Drive, 331-2525
Thai food is famous for its curries. In Thai dishes, curries usually come in three colors — green, yellow or red, says Dustin Sirsutiva, owner of Thai-Siam, 601 Kasold Dr. Green curry gets its distinctive flavor from Thai holy basil and kaffir lime leaves; yellow curry is similar to the curry powder you find in the spice aisle of any grocery store; and red curry is the spiciest of all, thanks to the inclusion of chili powder and red chilies.
Thal House, 724 Massachusetts St., 312-9991

Massachusetts St., 832-
0001
Thai meals are grand affairs, with many dishes ordered and then served simultaneously. Starters do not exist in Thai culture. A Thai menu usually consists of a curry dish, typically made with red meat or chicken; a fish dish, most often a
whole fish served over hot coals with a spicy sauce; a vegetable dish, stir-fried; and a noodle dish, stir-fried with shrimp or chicken and served with plenty of Thai jasmine rice, Schmidt says.
to order?
To drink, lager beer is common, as is ice tea (made with steeped tea) and limeonade (made with key limes).
What to order
So you decide to try a Thai restaurant. Now, what
First, be open-minded. A Thai food once told Schmidt the best Thai food looks like a mess, but tastes like heaven.
Once you get past your preconceived notions, Schmidt suggests trying one of these more famous Thai dishes:
- Tom Yum Soup — a spicy, fragrant and slightly sour soup that contains many of the key ingredients found in Thai food: lemongrass, kaffir lime, fish sauce and coconut milk. It's one of his customers' favorites, Sisutiva, Thai Siam owner, says.
- Curry — many restaurants have their own version that they make particularly well. Try Thai Green Curry.
*Pad Thai — rice noodles that are stirred with your choice or meat or tofu,
plus veggies. It is the most-ordered dish at Thai Siam by far, Srisutiva says.
Manisawn Luangamath, Olathe freshman, adores Thal cuisine and her parents are from Thailand and Laos.She recommends her favorite Thai dish: pho. Pho is a noodle soup that can be made from any kind of meat, herbs or vegetables. She also likes lad na, another noodle soup with a gravity-like consistency.
- Thai dessert — unique sweets often made with rice and coconut. "Just tasting a Thai dessert feels like stepping into the culture," Schmidt says.
Many Thai restaurants compromise flavor and spice to suit Western tastes, Srisutiva says. "The flavors are not too strong, and not too spicy" he says. "It's
missing something," His customers like the taste of authentic Thai food, so he cooks it the same as he would if he were in Thailand,
he says.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE DISH?
Megan O'Neill, St.
Louis, Junior: "Pad Thai
because it's so flavorful
and different from the
everyday bland food I
eat."
When you visit a Thai restaurant, try to order a variety of dishes. Because of the myriad flavors and textures, you will want to sample a little of everything.
Sasha Graybosch, Lincoln, Neb. sophomore: "The curries are my favorite, Red curry with tofu is the dish I usually order because it has such a unique, spicy flavor and it compliments the tofu really well."
Adam Shoffner, Derby senior:"Pad Thal. Simple, easy to fix, but tons of flavor."
When most people think of Thai food, they think spicy. But that's not necessarily true. Most Thai restaurants customize spiciness to each customer's individual preference, though nothing changes the spice of curries. Curries are naturally spicy, especially red and green curry.
To spice or not to spice?
"What we think of here in North America as hot is nothing for a Thai person," Schmidt says. "So don't be too brave or you'll end up regretting it and worst of all, you won't be able to taste anything else for the rest of the night." If you typically like your food hot, try scaling down to a medium — probably spicy enough for even the bravest tongue.
"As long as it can make my eyes water and
nose runny," Luangamath says, "that spicy food always hits the spot."

KISS THE COOK
PERFECT GUACAMOLE
Ingredients:
2 ripe avocados
½ red onion, minced
1 2 Serrano chiles, stems and seeds removed, minced
2 tablespoons cilantro leaves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon of fresh lime or lemon juice
Dash of black pepper
½ ripe tomato, seeds and pulp removed, chopped
Tortilla chips
1. Cut avocados in half. Remove pit. Scoop out avocado from the peel and put in a mixing bowl.
2. Mash avocado with fork. Mash in onion, cilantro, lemon or lime, salt and pepper. Chili peppers vary in their hotness, so start with one half of one chili pepper and add to the guacamole to your desired degree of hotness.
3. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
4. Just before serving, add tomato to the guacamole and mix. Serve with tortilla chips.
Remember that much of this is done to taste because of the variability in the fresh ingredients. Start with this recipe and adjust to your taste. You can also experiment and add salsa, sour cream or cottage cheese to your dip. Serves 2-4.

With Rogue Wave
F
From Asics high tops to pregnant rubber chicken toys, Rogue Wave has collected a range of memorabilia from their international tour. Rogue Wave is currently touring the United
States promoting their sophomore album Descended Like Vultures. They played at the Granada last month. Frontman Zach Rogue talks about strange gas station finds and boycotting television.
A: We're stopping at a gas station right now on our way to our next show in Columbia, Mo.
Q: So where are you now?
Q: Do you ever pick up any weird items while you're on the road?
A: One time we got this chicken at a gas station that you put in your hand and squeeze. A chicken fetus thing squirts out of its rectum. It was crazy but pretty entertaining.
Q: In making your second album, there's always speculation of a sophomore slump. Did that pressure affect the recording process?
A: Actually, it didn't. When you get into the studio, you don't let the outside stuff bother you. You get in there, and it's peaceful.
Q: I read a review that your first album made the reviewer want to "eat sunshine" and "crap kittens". Have you had any other strange reactions to your second album?
A: (Laughing) I've heard of that review, but I haven't read it. For the first album I read a lot of press, but when you read the bad press, it doesn't do you any good. You just carry around the negative energy from it. So, I don't read the reviews any more.
Q: You used Craigslist.com to compile the band. How did you know the members of the band were a good fit?
A: We just have a good time hanging out together. It's like when you meet new friends.
06→ JAYPLAX 03,16,2006
Q: Do you use Craigslist.com for anything else these days?
A: Soliciting prostitutes. I'm joking. It's good for free stuff. One of the guys with us now gave away his Baldwin organ on it. (Shouting in the background) I'm an organ donor! (Rogue laughs). He says he'd give away another organ if he had it.
Q: Why do you like using a Wuriltzer organ?
A: We have a Wuriltzer in the studio, but it's too fragile to take on tour. We have a keyboard that does a pretty good job simulating the sound.
The Wuriltzer makes a great distortion the more you lay into it.
Q: What's the first thing you're going to do when this tour ends?
A: We finish mid-April, so I'll definitely be seeing some baseball games. Watching the A's play is a high priority. I really want to start recording some new music, but I don't have anything planned for the next album. Oh, and I want to try to exercise and learn how to cook.
Q: Why, do you watch a lot of shows on the Food Network?
A: No, I don't watch TV anymore. I watched
Arrested Development, but it got canceled. I'm
boycoting TV because I'm mad at it.

It's Monday night, and I'm a one-woman audience left to the devices of a man and his guitar. I can't put this feeling on the shelf... take it easy on me, darling, he sings. I shift nervously in a rigid wooden booth. I chose a booth facing front and center to the stage for optimal viewing of the evening's six acts, but I realize I'm also in the direct stare of this sandy-blonde crooner. He keeps looking in my direction — or is he looking at the technician to my right. I can't say for sure, but he continues to strum his guitar and sings sweet nothings into the microphone. Besides a girl at the bar who was distracted by the bartender, I'm the only other bosomed body in the room receiving 27-year-old Kansas City musician Barclay Martin's musical affections.
And I like it.
Whether you go to be serenaded or to discover new musicians or poets, attending an open mic night offers entertainment that's cheap. Admission in Lawrence costs, at maximum, $3, and no two nights are alike, as they feature different unknown talents each week.
Amanda Haase, manager of The Bottleneck, encourages people to come to open mic nights for the chance to see "the next big thing" without the crowds. In the past, acts such as Blind Melon and Faith No More have played at The Bottleneck's open mic.
While audiences have the opportunity to discover new talent at each event, the most appeal is for the budding performers themselves. Signing up to play at an open mic event is free, and it gives new artists time to test their performance skills while gaining valuable public exposure. Martin attends shows at The Bottleneck and recently returned from a ninemonth solo tour driving across the United States in a conversion van. Martin says he's played a lot of venues, mostly around Kansas City, but wanted to play at The Bottleneck to break into the Lawrence music scene.
After Martin's set, Heather Knox, 24, KU alumina and Kansas City resident, arrives with a crowd to hear the punk band The Vultures perform. The Vultures have played several times at open mic night and at other venues in the Kansas City area. Through this and promotions on MySpace, they have developed a local following. Knox, who is dating The Vultures' bassist, has
frequented the open mic scene in both Lawrence and Kansas City for the past several years. She prefers Lawrence's open mic nights, she says. Here, university town audiences are more open to new ideas, so there is a better variety of music, she says.
Though tonight's open mic schedule includes all rock music, the sound ranges from L.I.E.'s heavy melodies to The Vane's alternative country. And because each act is limited to 15 to 30 minutes on stage, even styles not in your taste range are palatable.
Adding even more diversity to the Lawrence open mic scene, the Jazzhaus hosts open acoustic and Spanktones jams along with the poetry slam event, Fresh Ink. Knox prefers open mc events at the Jazzhaus because of its intimate setting — the candlestit tables bring the audience close to the stage.
Megan McHenry knows firsthand how powerful performing is. For the past six years, she has coordinated and performed at Fresh Ink, which features poetry ranging from the comedic to the political. "There's a vulnerability in
sharing your life and ideas through your poetry to strangers," she says. She encourages open mic "virgins" to come perform, even if they're nervous. It took McHenry several years to get used to being on stage, she says. "My voice and knees used to shake like crazy, but eventually I got comfortable with it." she says.
Whether testing the waters of the talent pool as an observer or braving the stage as a performer, attending an open mic night is a worthwhile experience to diversify your social routine.

LIFTING AGAINST THE CLOCK
by Jason Shaad
How to maximize the benefits of your workout time
SCOTT KASERMAN
At 5:16 a.m. Kristen Robben waits alone in the dark parking lot outside the Student Recreation Fitness Center. When an employee unlocks the door at 5:30 a.m., Robben is the first person to walk in. She pulls her brown hair back in a ponytail and heads for a treadmill. It's workout time.
Robben, Victoria senior, is an early bird. She burns calories before the sun rises because, between her classes and her job as a physical therapist, she doesn't have much time to spare.
Neither do a lot of students. Most of us want to look like a superstar without sacrificing partying like one. We want the most bang for our temporal buck.
If you've only got half an hour to spare a few days a week, here are a few ways to make the most of your workout.
Cardio consideration
Playing basketball or ultimate frisbee may sound like more fun, but running allows you to burn the most calories in the shortest amount of time, says Elizabeth Stewart, an exercise physiologist and a researcher at the University's Energy Balance Lab.
"Sports are more intermittent and skill driven," she says. "You'll get a better workout if you go run for 30 minutes."
But don't give up a sport right away, says Brian Tabor, Springfield, Mo., junior and personal trainer at Lawrence Athletic Club, 3201 Mesa Way. It's most important to do cardio exercises you enjoy so that you'll continue to do them, he says.
Do the big lifts
Often people focus on isolated muscles when they weight train, Tabor says.
"I always see guys working their biceps in front of the mirror," he says. "But guys can make their routine a lot better by getting more big muscle movements."
If you've only got time for one or two types of lifts, Tabor recommends full body lifts that require you to use a wide range of muscles at once. Olympic lifts like hang cleans and push presses, which involve hefting a barbell from the ground to your waist or your waist to above your head, will exercise your lower body as well as your upper body and are probably the most time-efficient exercises, Tabor says.
Superset
Rather than standing around chatting between exercise sets, alternate core body lifts with stability exercises, says Andrea Hudy, associate director of strength and conditioning for the men's basketball, women's basketball and volleyball teams. Each
set of core body lifts, like the bench press or hang cleans, should be followed by stability exercises like sit-ups. That way you let your core muscles rest for about a minute between sets without sacrificing exercise time. After the sit-ups, do another set of core lifts.
"Super-setting is the most effective way to get through a workout, especially if you're constrained by time," Hudy says.
Get your timing down
Your body reaches its physiological peak between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m.
Stewart , a physiologist, says. During this time, your metabolism is at an increased level and your body should be warmed up but not tired.
So if you've got the luxury of exercising in the afternoon, take advantage of your body's prime condition.
But if you would rather avoid the masses already heeding that advice, Stewart recommends working out early. "I'm a huge proponent of the morning," she says. "Nothing is in your way. You don't have to beat the lunch rush, and you have a positive mindset for the rest of the day."
Simple steps
If the only time you're not sitting at a desk or behind a computer is when you're walking to your next class, don't sweat it. Actually do.
Pick a route to your next class that involves a steep hill or stairs. Walking fast uphill produces almost the same cardiovascular benefits as jogging on a flat surface, Stewart says.
"It only takes five minutes and it's the quickest, most efficient thing to do," she says.
For people on the flat track from class to class, Stewart recommends buying a walking odometer. This watch-like device will count the number of steps you take during the day. For your daily hike to class to really make a physiological difference, you should take somewhere between 10,000 and 12,000 steps, Stewart says.
"People who have them are often amazed at how little they walk each day," she says.
Walking odometers can cost as little as $20 or as much as $100.You should be able to find them at most health and fitness stores.
The physiological benefits of exercise don't actually manifest themselves until you hit the sac. Your body builds muscle tissue while you sleep, so if you're sacrificing an adequate night's rest in order to hit the gym, you may not see the full fruit of your labors,
Catch enough zzzs
Tabor says.
Between seven and eight hours is adequate rest for most college students, he says. And if you can catch a nap in the early afternoon, all the better.
Keep a routine
Howeveryou maximizeyourworkout time, make sure you stay consistent. Exercising at inconsistent times or doing different workout routines every week is easier to neglect than a fitness plan that you treat like a habit.
An established routine will also cut back on excuses not to exercise, which will also keep you on good terms with former KU athletic director Bob Frederick.
"I just don't accept the excuse that people say they don't have enough time," says Frederick, interim chair of the health, sport and exercise science department."You can always find time to work out. It will make you more productive and efficient."
RHYTHM: YOU'VE GOT MORE THAN YOU MIGHT THINK
Sidney Baker views the body as a work of music. Everything has its own rhythm, he says. Your breath, heart rate, brain waves — everything dances to its own beat.
This rhythm can help people manage their fitness, says Baker, a medical doctor and the author of The Circadian Prescription: Get in Step with Your Body's Natural Rhythms to Maximize Energy, Vitality, and Longevity.
At the core of Baker's book is the concept of circadian rhythm. Circadian rhythm involves changes in everything, from your metabolism to your body temperature, during a 24-hour cycle which corresponds to your sleep/wake cycle. Basically, your body chemistry changes slightly at different times of day. When your rhythm is disturbed, you can feel off — think jet lag. But you can take advantage of your body's natural fluctuations to improve your health, Baker says.
The body processes proteins best in the morning and processes carbohydrates best at night, he says. And, finally, exercise at the same time each day or, if you're training for an athletic event, exercise at the time you expect to compete. Your body's inner rhythms will adjust themselves to your workout, which will improve your productivity during exercise, Baker says.

Samantha Samuel is pretty, smart, laid-back and funny — all the qualities of a girl you'd take home to mom. But since she's been at the University of Kansas, she's only been on one date. If you can even call it that, Collecting research for her hair, she found a guy to help her out. "I was attracted to him, but I don't know if he was attracted to me," says the Sioux Falls, S.D. graduate student. "We met for coffee, and he ended up buying it for me. I didn't really think of it as a date, but he didn't have to pay for it."
Mark Adams can count the number of dates he's had on one hand. Besides a five-year relationship, the Overland Park graduate student hasn't dated at all. "Perhaps my style of dating is just to play it cool," he says. "There are a couple people I might have worked up the courage to ask out if they hadn't been so intimidating and unreadable."
Students used to come to college looking for love. Couples dated, lived together, got engaged; now, the children of those couples have dumped the date. In 2001, the Independent Women's Forum, a conservative group, conducted a nationwide survey of 1,000 college women and only half of the seniors reported being asked out on six or more dates during their entire college career. For a variety of reasons, the traditional dinner-and-a-movie rendezvous is dead — and experts say there are good reasons to bring it back.
Let's try to define "date." Too many college students classify a date as simply meeting somewhere, says Erin
Harveth, Tulsa, Okla., junior. "In order to qualify as a date, someone needs to ask," she says. "The other person says yes, they go somewhere and whoever asked, pays."
The good old days
Back in colonial times, courtship was a formal affair. Young men and women were properly introduced before talking to each other, and the girl's mother would ask the boy to "call" on her daughter. Courting was
in a girls home (so parents could chaperone) and the process usually had one goal: marriage.
As time went on, dating became more informal. People scoffed at the idea of "going steady" before World War II because dating a lot of people meant popularity in high school, says
"In order to qualify as a date, someone needs to ask. The other person says yes, they go somewhere and whoever asked, pays." Erin Harveth, Tulsa junior
where 40 percent of fifth graders were already "dating" (i.e., holding hands and kissing).
author Beth Bailey in her book From Front Porch to Back Seat: Courtship in 20th-Century America.
Dating was on its way out when Marciana Vequist, a psychologist at Bert Nash Mental Health Center, 200 Malne St., went to college in the '70s. Women used to go to college to find a husband, and men went to find a wife; there was much more focus on courtship because it was the last opportunity for men and women to meet someone their own age, she
But the war changed everything. Women outnumbered men, and media scared girls with warnings that they would never marry because of the lack of men. Young girls began marrying in high numbers. By 1959, 47 percent of brides were under 19 and those who were older said they had gone to college solely to find a husband. This also meant dating began earlier Bailey cites a 1961 study of a middle-class Pennsylvania district
says. Now, people are focused on education and getting a career, and merely hoping to meet someone along the way.
These days,there are no prescribed rules on how dating works. It used to go unsaid that guys did everything from asking the girl out to
paying the tab. Now, there are no such rules — each is waiting for the other to make the first move. Judy Dutton, a psychotherapist in Lawrence, says one reason for this mentality is because it's become acceptable for women to do the asking.
Despite the lack of protocol, good old-fashioned chivalry wouldn't go unappreciated, at least by Samuel, who would like to have more than one so-called date while she's at KU. Some guys today are lazy, and expect girls to do the asking. "Some girls are comfortable doing that, but a lot of
girls still want to be pursued," she says. "I would love for a guy to make the first move. I'm not one to chase someone."
Nevertheless, a guy asking a girl on a date is still unusual, says Matt Katz, syndicated dating columnist for Gannett newspapers. "A guy asking a girl on a date in college may seem so traditional that it might seem desperate and she could be turned off," he says.
Technical difficulties
The change in the college dating scene really went downhill when email, Internet, instant messaging, text messaging and cell phones hit the mainstream. Technology has made relating so effortless that no one needs to go on official dates anymore, says Jeff Cohen, dating and relationship guide at dating.about.com. "It's easier than ever to flirt and stay in touch with someone," he says.
Without these gadgets, wed be forced to go on dates to learn more about someone else.Colleen Stockton, Wichita senior, blames cell phones for the demise of traditional dating. People used to have to call each other on house phones to set up a formal date; now people just use their cell phones to let someone know where they'll be, in case they'd like to join, she says.Text messaging is worse than cell phones."It's less intimate because you don't really get to know each other." Stockton says,"which is the point of a date."
Technology has changed the way men and women get together ever since Katz, the dating columnist, graduated in 2000. "I know now that kids in college are IMing each other for late-night booty calls," he says. "Everyone is walking around with a cell phone, which makes means of communication; meeting up and hooking up, easier."
UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK
STUDENTS' CENTER
Hooking up
Contrary to popular belief, meeting someone at a bar and taking him or her home does not constitute a first date; it counts as a "hook-up." To most college students, "hooking up" can mean anything from kissing to sex. In the 2001 survey done by the IWF, 91 percent of women reported a "rampant hook-up culture" on campus. Thirty-nine percent of respondents said they were virgins, 40 percent said they had hooked up, and 10 percent said they had hooked up more than six times. In an article in The Boston Globe, Kristen Richardson, campus program manager of the IWF, says "Hooking up has just become the norm. For women especially, these uncommitted, purely physical relationships can wreak havoc later on and distort their idea of relationships."
During college, students may not be looking for the commitment of a relationship, so hooking up with no strings attached is an easy way out. "Guys in college aren't really at a stage where they want a real relationship," says Brighid O'Malley, Omaha sophomore."Most of the guys I know are interested in having fun with their friends. Getting ass every now and then is just a perk."
If the distinction between hooking up and dating seems slippery, it's because a lot of the time, one leads to the other. Kathy, Shawnee Mission senior, says she's been "talking to" a guy for a couple of months. In those couple of months, she and her hookup buddy have only been on one date — after they'd hooked up at least 15 times. "I was fine with just hooking up, but I was excited that he took me to dinner and it wasn't awkward," she says. Kathy and her "friend" see each other about five days during the week; Fridays and Saturdays are a given. Even though they see each other often, she says she doesn't consider herself dating him — yet. "It will probably lead to a relationship," she says. "But I feel like even you're boyfriend and elopers on dates
The relationship factor
Most students assume that if you're in a relationship, you're dating. When you're in a relationship, you're boyfriend and girlfriend; to be dating, you must actually pursue the act of going on a date. And dating, says Dutton, a psychotherapist, is healthy for relationships. She says taking time to go out and do something special is vital in a relationship. It's about "having that commitment to be together at that time and not just because you're already there," she says."Having a deliberate focus keeps the relationship fresh and it means you're attending to it. You have to really attend to relationships to keep them alive."
Angela Rasmusson, Topeka alumna, has been involved with her boyfriend, Derick Schweppe, Topeka senior, for six and a half years. They try to go on real dates at least once or twice a week because even though they're in a relationship, it's still important to go out on a regular basis." We live together now, so it's like hanging out with my best friend all the time," she says. "We need to go out on dates to make it feel like a relationship, not just a friendship."
Costs and benefits
The benefits of dating aren't exclusive to full-fledged relationships.

Question: Is it possible for a molecule to have multiple bonds?
Answer: Yes, it is possible for a molecule to have multiple bonds. This can occur in various chemical processes and reactions, such as during reactions with other molecules or when reacting with catalysts.
KU STUDENTS SPEAK...
What is your ideal date?
"It would be fun to go out to eat and then go play air hockey, foosball or Frisbee golf. Something where you actually get to talk to people and get to know them."
- Samantha Samuel, Sioux Falls, S.D.

What's one special way you've asked someone out?
"I was known for eating Alloids and always having them available, so I offered her one. Inside the tin was written in Sharpie. This is my clever way of asking you out"
Mark Adams, Overland Park graduate student
What is the best date you've ever been on? "The guy I have been seeing took me to Free State Brewery for dinner and we just talked and laughed the whole time ... anytime a boy can make me laugh, he scores big points. He even ordered my dessert for me and then opened my car door when we left."
— Erin Harveth, Tulsa junior
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 11
A lot of students don't realize that dating is actually an important and beneficial part of life that a lot of us are missing out on. In a survey at Western Connecticut State University, 50 male students, ages 18 to 23, were questioned about the advantages and disadvantages of college dating. One hundred percent agreed that college dating has benefits: namely, high self-esteem and frequent
interaction with females. The study also found that students liked the added benefits of falling in love, finding companionship and learning what they want in future relationships.
Harveth, who has been on "too many dates to count," agrees that dating frequently helps her figure out the kind of person she'd like to be with in the future. "It's fun to date different types
rejection. You aren't alone if you find dating exciting, but agonizing and anxiety-provoking as well, says Emily Kofron, Lawrence therapist. "Men and women find dating painful because it raises hopes that are usually not met," she says. "We all hate rejection. Strange as it sounds, try not to take it personally. Often, it has more to do with the person doing the rejecting than it does about

of people and get to know them," she says. "Through that, you get to know yourself."
"Don't let the bad experience become larger than life itself. Let some time go by, get the perspective of trusted friends on what went wrong, develop a new strategy if need be, then get back in the saddle. Avoidance can become a problem in and of itself. Above all, don't take rejection personally. After all, that person may have done you a favor."
Of course, there are also some costs when it comes to dating — and not just the hole it puts in your wallet. Dating is scary. It takes guts to ask someone out because, of course, there's fear of
Emily Kofron, therapist and counselor in Lawrence
you."
Now you know why you should be dating; so what should you do if you want to go out with that supercute guy or girl from class? Take matters into your own hands, and just ask. These days, it doesn't matter what tradition says — it's acceptable for a girl to ask a guy out. Schwepe says he was surprised when longtime girlfriend Rassmusson first
asked him out, but only because he barely knew her — not because she was doing the asking. It doesn't matter who asks whom, he says, as long as there is mutual attraction and interest. "It's only one night," he says. "If you have a good time, don't worry about how you got there."
The traditional dinner date has been dumped. A 2001 survey found that 91 percent of college women reported a "rampant hook-up culture" in its stead.

WHY DO THE WHITE GIRLS AT THIS SCHOOL ALL TRY TO EXPERIMENT WITH THE BLACK GUY? THEY ACT LIKE THEY'VE NEVER SEEN US BEFORE, BUT HEY, I'M NOT COMPLAINING. JAMAL, SOPHOMORE
Brian: I like to think I'm not a guy who gets jealous, but — Jamal, I envy your situation. Maybe the white girls haven't been around many black men, so it's a by product of their curiosity. Maybe you're extremely attractive to white women. Whatever the reason, take advantage of the situation. Odds are you won't have girls throwing themselves at you the rest of your life. But have some standards and reasoning for engaging with her (commenting favorably on your jeans/shoes does not constitute a good reason). Just remember to use protection. You never know what diseases sluts are carrying.
Jessica: I'm guessing these girls are using you for a few reasons:
1) earnest curiosity,
2) to falsify or verify a myth, and 3) for the sake of the story,"I did a black guy once and it was "insert words of utter profundity here"." But really, I strongly suggest you buck up and get some self-respect. No one should ever be someone else's play toy. I'm sure there are plenty of black men who would never have sex with a woman for experimental purposes. Even if you enjoy that kind of thing like you claim, I'd think twice about what you're getting yourself in to; you're bound to lose a lot of respect by volunteering yourself to be used.
WHAT IS THE TRICK TO FINDING SOMEONE GENUINELY INTERESTED IN A RELATIONSHIP IN A COLLEGE TOWN? KEVIN, JUNIOR
Brian: There is only one way to find a relationship in a college town; post a flyer in every classroom on campus that gives every girl your phone number and a picture of you. Then any girl who likes you will call you up. Just be sure you make a note on the flyer that you are looking only for serious candidates for a relationship. If you are too proud for that, consider doing what everybody else does to meet girls: TALK TO THEM. If you aren't sure about a girl, just ask her if she likes you, if you ask and get shot down, you're in the same position as before; if she says she likes you, then you've found a candidate.
Jessica: The trick is finding another person that feels the same way you do. Think about how you'd like to meet someone. Where are you most comfortable? What do you like to do? Let's say you like coffee. Try studying or hanging out at a coffee shop. Maybe you're into the local music scene. Check out shows playing at the Granada. If you're a movie buff, check out what Liberty Hall or South Wind has to offer. Get involved on campus or join a youth group. Surround yourself with people with similar attitudes and interests. You'll be most likely to find these like-minded people in environments that make you comfortable, which will help you open up to meeting others who are also wanting a relationship. I would advise you to stray from the bar scene because typically, that's where people tend to want to have fun, not seek out relationships. Good luck, Kevin!
I HAVE A LESBIAN FRIEND WHO HAS A LONG-DISTANCE GIRLFRIEND THE PROBLEM IS MY FRIEND INVADES MY PERSONAL SPACE AND BASICALLY PUTS HER HANDS ALL OVER ME. HOW DO I TELL HER THAT THIS MAKES ME UNCOMFORTABLE? — HANNA JUNIOR
Jessica: Clearly, this girl is overstepping her boundaries and although you may not want to admit because she's a girl and you're a girl, she's sexually harassing you by giving you unwanted contact. How would you feel if it was some guy, fondling you? Creeped out in order for this to stop, you must be direct about it. If you're planning on salvaging the friendship tell her up front that you don't like her that way but that you
Brian: The only thing wrong here is that you aren't a lesbian. Imagine how much easier it would be if you just were a bisexual so your friend could put her hands all over you whenever she wanted to imagine how nice it would be
actually that's what every guy started thinking about when you and she loves to touch you if you're really have a problem with it. I tell her to stop it, if she doesn't stop, consider either telling her girlfriend or getting a boyfriend to protect you. Then you won't have to worry about her touching you with her fingers dripping in sweat softly touching your skin.

BUDDIES AROUND THE WORLD
CUDDLY BUDDIES AROUND THE WORLD
Sixty percent of American children have at least a mild degree of attachment to a soft, inanimate object some time during their life. Thirty-two percent exhibit strong attachment. The incidence of attachments to soft objects in the Netherlands, New Zealand,
and Sweden is comparable to that in the United States. Korean children have substantially fewer attachments to blankets (18 percent) than do American children. Only 5 percent of rural Italian children have transitional objects, compared to 31 percent of urban Romans and 62 percent
of foreign children living in Rome. However, just 16 percent of London's children have a special security object.

why we can't say good night to that bastion of childhood, the security blanket

"We all need something to get us through the night."
— Gary Stollak.
At some point, most of us couldn't fall asleep without something soft and comforting like a stuffed animal, blankie or pillow. But what of those who continue to curl up with their Mutsies throughout college? Psychologists say the practice is perfectly normal and more prevalent than it seems.
Security objects are items, usually soft and easily held or carried, that offer a child comfort. Typically they are used during bedtime to facilitate sleep or as a coping mechanism to help children deal with new situations.
Frank DeSalvo, director of Counseling and Psychological Services, says that we all have reminders that comfort us, and having a specific item to evoke those feelings is not an uncommon practice. This behavior may be viewed as childish, but it's really an issue of how a person finds comfort.
Attachments to various objects are typical during the first five years of life, but psychologists debate whether children should outgrow the need for security objects.
"The item provides emotional support and confidence. It also
Most adults have comfort possessions, though they may not be as sentimental as a stuffed animal. It could be a high school award that is a reminder of proven abilities. DeSalvo says.

Julianne Kueffer, Leawood junior, still has the baby blanket her grandmother crocheted for her. She says she sleeps better
when she has the blanket. She still takes it with her when she goes out of town.

professor of psychology at the University of Michigan. He says the problem begins when they live with strangers.
A blanket or pillow can provide great emotional support for those making the transition to college, Stollak says. For many, it is the first time to leave home for an extended time. Bringing a childhood relic can help alleviate homesickness. In fact, Stollak says those who feel they have to give up their dolls or blankies are more likely to start drinking alcohol as a coping mechanism.
"We all need something to get us through the night." Stollak says. "If it's a blanket or doll, then so be it. What gives us comfort should not be seen as immature."
"it's hard enough to get through college, let alone life, and people need something to comfort them during this time of transition," Stollak says.
Gremminger didn't bring Mutsie to school because she thought it would be considered dorky by others, she says. At first she felt guilty, as if she were leaving behind an old friend. The encounter with her roommate, however, reassured her that she wasn't the only one who needed a stuffed animal. By the end of the week, Gremminger had retrieved her beloved Mutsie

U.S.! by Chris Bachelder
Failure to Launch
In Failure to Launch, Sarah Jessica Parker plays Paula, a woman who is hired to "simulate a romance" with Trip (Matthew McConaughey), in order to encourage him to move out of his parents' house. Of course, Paula falls in love with Trip, and everything you would expect to happen, happens.
"The movie's only an hour long. Nobody's going to pay eight bucks to see a 60-minute movie. We need to make it longer."
And I have no problem with that. Complaining that *Failure to Launch* is unoriginal would be like ordering a pizza and yelling at the delivery boy because it has cheese on it. The problem with the movie is not that it is coated with a hot, melted layer of clichés. The problem is that the movie rushes so quickly through its routine that you never really get a chance to have any kind of reaction to it. I suspect the writers wrote during the commercial breaks of sitcoms, and never bothered to go back and edit.
And then there's the sub-plot I imagine the following conversation took place between the producers and writers:
"Yes,but how?"
"Well...we could add a sub-plot with McConaughey repeatedly getting attacked by animals."
And they did.
Failure to Launch is an enjoyable movie
Kit Fluker
in its smirking, easy-going way.It's too bad no one bothered to separate the chaff from the script. That won't be a problem if you're smitten with Matthew McConaughey (or Sarah Jessica Parker). But if you're not, you should probably get your romantic comedy fix elsewhere.

SOMETHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN
It's no secret that American politics have reached far into the tar pit. Slanders are thrown, people are humiliated and threats are made. Numerous books by partisan harpies have been published decrying the state of American politics, as it sinks deeper into the sludge. So how, you ask, is this situation rectified?
The solution, Chris Bachelder insists, is to resurrect Upton Sinclair. Sinclair was an American socialist and muckraker, most notably the author of The Jungle, which exposed secrets of the meat industry in the late 19th century. In the novel U.S.I., Leftists keep resurrecting Sinclair to help them bring about a socialist revolution. Why do they keep having to resurrect him? Every time Sinclair is resurrected, the fanatical Right keeps assassinating him.
Obviously, the novel is one big hyperbolic fable. Only about half of it is in narrative prose form; the rest is a mad amalgam of various Americana forms. One chapter is a faux book review
of a novel Sinclair wrote after being resurrected for the fourth time. Another is a letter written by Sinclair to his son.Others are phone call transcripts, letters to the editor or book jacket blurbs. The product is a funny and imaginative yet exhausting affair, as the book bounces the reader back and forth.
Bachelder's indictment of both extremes of the American political spectrum — including Sinclair himself, the epitome of one extreme — is extremely witty and clever, but perhaps too madcap and philosophical for the average reader. It's doubtful most Americans today know who Upton Sinclair even was, nor do many grasp the ideological differences of political theories. A working knowledge of both is required to know what is going on in the novel. The book's major downfall is that it could be too elitist.
In detailing the determination and redundancy of the Left and the ultra-violent hysteria of the Right, Bachelder's final thesis is that every action has consequences, and everything
in novel
chris bachelor
we do matters.The novel also describes how someone from Texas kills the resurrected Sinclair with a harpoon. If that doesn't make a statement on the state of American politics today, I don't know what does.

Spreadsheets are a girl's best friend
What happens when Breakfast at Tiffany's meets Weird Science? by Melissa Byrd
We had been dating nearly two years when it happened. My boyfriend wanted to talk about engagement rings
This surprised me. Though he is hardly the fear-of-commitment type, until recently he had been cautious about planning our future together.
His reasoning: You shouldn't speculate on the future because you don't know what will happen. To some extent, I agreed. But that didn't stop me from putting his name on Tiffany & Co.'s mailing list a few months ago.
He laughed at my not-so-sly antics. "I got something in the mail today," he said nonchalantly on the phone. I knew immediately he was talking about the eggshell blue catalog."I think someone is trying to give me a hint."
"Uh, I don't know what you're talking about," I said. "Maybe the catalog was supposed to go to your neighbor."
"Yeah, maybe." he replied, knowing full well it was lying.
When he suggested we check out rings at the mall one rainy Saturday, my jaw dropped. He grabbed my hand, took a deep breath and walked into the first store. We were immediately greeted by an over-enthusiastic saleswoman.
"What can I help you with today?" she asked with a wide smile.
He quickly answered. "Oh, we're just looking, thanks."
We walked to the glass case where the diamond rings were displayed in all their sparkling glory. I peered over and was immediately drawn to the grandest one.
The saleswoman wandered over to us again after a few minutes. "Are you sure there's nothing I can help you with?" she persisted.
"Oh, I'm just in the preliminary research stage," he replied. "I wanted to gather some information." And then he started speaking in tongues.
"So when a diamond is classified as a VW51, the value is higher than a V51 — and a D is the highest color quality, right?" he asked.
The saleswoman tilted her head and wrinkled her brow, looking confused. She obviously didn't get this kind of question (or this kind of customer) very often.
My head started to spin. VVS1.VS1.
SI2. He spouted off these letter and number combinations like Rain Man.
He turned to me and asked, "Would you rather have a VVS1, H color with a very good cut or a VS1, F color with
an ideal cut?"He sounded like he was conducting a highly complex science experiment.
step further and went to law school, a playground for people with similar predispositions. Now that he's a lawyer, and constantly surrounded by other lawyers, he is even more methodically inclined. Probabilities and logic are in his blood. Details are his life force.
He built his own computer. I bought an over-priced PC with more features than I needed because I didn't comparison shop. He likes (and is infuriatingly good at) math. I can't do basic algebra. He is relentlessly thorough. I'm impulsive. He reigns over his money with an iron fist. I take a more progressive approach to finances.
But in spite of our differences, we fit as a couple. We have rubbed off on one
another in subtle ways. I've developed > a nasty habit of double-checking that I've locked my doors or paid a bill on time. And he now knows navy socks and black shoes don't go together.
Because I classify diamonds in terms such as "sparkly," "pretty" and "big," his question was a little over my head. When I imagine my engagement ring, I picture something simple, classic and elegant; technical diamond jargon doesn't really flow with my hopeless romantic ideals.
Later, at his apartment, he called me into the computer room where he was working.
Practical, analytical and a self-proclaimed OCD sufferer, he is nothing like me in many ways. I attribute it partly to genetics, partly to his profession. He comes from a family of engineers. Of the six people in his family, five are engineers, him included. He took it a
"I want to show you something," he said.
He motioned for me to sit down. I did. He turned to me, beaming proudly, pulled up Excel on his computer and showed me a spreadsheet he made that compared diamonds.
I stifled a laugh. Diamonds may be a girl's best friend, but nothing says love like a good spreadsheet.

SUNDAY'S STORM
Taking the toll University officials release building-by-building assessment
Rachel Seymour/KANSAN
The roof on Dyche Hall sustained $500,000 worth of damage in Sunday's storm.
Total damage: $5,167,000
WWW.KANSAN.COM
The University of Kansas released its initial assessment of how much damage was done to the University campus on Thursday.
KU officials project the total will rise to $6 or $7 million.
University officials blamed deferred maintenance bills and old roofs for the extent of the damage. As of last year, the University had $133 million worth of deferred maintenance projects.
So far, the University has constructed awnings to protect people entering buildings and it has collected debris that posts an immediate danger. All buildings except Danforth Chapel and parts of Robinson Center are open and operational.
Rachel Seymour/KANSAN
Contracts for 17 projects have been let and work has begun on repairs. Damage to computer systems has yet to be determined.
Notable damaged buildings
Art and Design building: $400,000
Bailey Hall: $150,000
Computing Services: $225,000
Fraser Hall: $350,000
Green Hall: $225,000
Murphy Hall: $200,000
Robinson Center: $500,000
Snow Hall: $180,000
G.S.P. Roof: $200,000

Utilizing the storm
Campus debris used to make mulch, seats
BY NICOLE KELLEY
nkelley@kansan.com
KANKSAN STAFF WRITER
Since Sunday's storm, city and University workers have been busy throughout campus and the surrounding Lawrence area cleaning up the tree limbs and debris that covered many streets and private lawns.
The storm caused between $6 and $7 million of damage to the University. Of that damage, $5.1 million was to buildings alone with another $200,000 going to the clean-up process. With the amount of debris that was caused by the storm, the question of what should be done with it has been an issue on the minds of many clean-up crews.
Jim Long, vice president of
Facilities Planning & Management, said that more than 100 trees on campus were completely destroyed and several others suffered damage. He said the University had been using a wood chipper to make mulch with most of the tree debris.
"We've got lots of mulch, if you'd like some." Long said.
Aaron Olsen, Overland Park sophomore and director of the Campus Garden Project, found another way to bring out a positive in the storm by using the debris in a way that will benefit others.
Olsen contacted the landscaping department of KU Facility Operations and worked out a deal to reuse a few of the tree stumps removed from campus.

It's St. Patrick's Day — there's a parade, live music, and, of course, lots of drink ing.
Although Saint Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland, his feast day has become an American holiday celebrated with green parades, green clothes and green beer.
"It's kind of a getting out after the winter thing," said Roger Browning, Chairman of the Saint Patrick's Day Parade Committee.
The committee organized the five kilometer Shamrock Shuffle last week. It also organizes the approximately 100 units in the parade to
help raise money for local children's charities.

The parade starts at 1 p.m.
Bars and restaurants around town are also having specials for St. Patty's Day.
Rick's Place: Rick Younger, owner, promises to dye his dog green, but don't worry, he's using green Jell-O instead of dye to protect the dog's skin.
Tanners: Corned beef and cabbage for $6.95
and Irish fries for $4.95. Guinness drafts for $4
and $2.50 Jager shots.
Henry T's: $3 Irish ale pints.
The Granada: The bar opens at noon for the parade and will play the Kansas-Bradley game on a 30-foot big screen TV. Then Big Metal Rooster and the Cosmopolitics will play the rest of the night.
75th Street Brewery: Irish Ale T-shirts that say "Get bombed at the brewery" for $10. The brewery will be serving corned beef and cabbage, shepherd's pie, and Irish Car Bombs.

CAMPUS University study on ponds wins award
Man-made ponds have morphed run-off patterns in the United States, according to a study published by the Kansas Geographical Survey.
According to the study, these ponds collect approximately 20 percent of all run-off sedimentation. The research is the first to estimate the impact of smaller bodies of water on run-off distribution.
The report said that thousands of ponds are added each year to the 2.6 million ponds already in the U.S.The sediment ponds collect each year could fill more than 3 million boxcars with dirt.
The research was published in the journal Geomorphology and received an award from the Association of American Geographers. KU researchers Jeremy Bartley and Robert Buddemeier were two of the paper's authors.

Prosecutors ask judge to reconsider decision
The Center of Latin American Studies is showing the film "Los Inundados" at 2 p.m. Saturday at the auditorium of the Spencer Museum of Art.
They acknowledge their only hope of obtaining the death penalty for the 37-year-old Frenchman of Moroccan descent, is to persuade U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema she punished the government too harshly for tampering with trial witnesses and lying to defense attorneys.
ALEXANDRIA, Va. — Fighting for a death penalty in a 9/11 case, prosecutors are beseaching a federal judge to reconsider her decision to exclude half the government's case against confessed al-Qaida conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui.
Brickenka did not immediately respond to the motion for reconsideration that prosecutors filed Wednesday evening. She indicated earlier that she had time available Thursday to hear such a motion if it were filed.
— Edited by James Foley
Brinkema barred prosecutors from submitting any witnesses or exhibits about aviation security. Prosecutors responded in their motion that this evidence "goes to the very core of our theory of the case"
The jury has been sent home until Monday to give prosecutors time for their next step.

LODI, Calif. — When a dump truck backed into Curtis Gokey's car, he decided to sue the city for damages.

City Attorney Steve Schwabauer said this one also lacks merit because Rhonda Gokey can't sue her own
After the city denied that claim because Gokey was, in essence, suing himself, he and his wife decided to file a new claim under her name.
"You can sue your spouse for divorce, but you can't sue your spouse for negligence," Schwabauer said. "They're a married couple under California law. They're one entity. It's damage to community property."

Court error leads to 46-year-long probation
SAN DIEGO — Jean Moore is finally off probation — after 46 years.
Moore was placed on probation in 1960 after pleading guilty to embezzling several thousand dollars from her La Jolla employer. She paid back the money over the next 20 years until a court in Colorado, where she had moved,
informed her she had satisfied the terms of her probation.
But word apparently never got back to San Diego and an arrest warrant was entered into the system in 1979.
The warrant sat unnoticed for 27 years, until January, when Moore's Social Security benefits were abruptly cut off. Federal law stops payments to people with active arrest warrants.
With help from a lawyer, a Superior Court judge rescinded the warrant on Monday.

The Village Council turned down the proposal Monday night, calling it too tacky.
Chamber of Commerce president Marie Lovas made the proposal, saying it was appropriate considering an estimated 20,000 people crowd into the northeast Ohio village on weekends in March — the end of syrup-making season
just to eat pancakes.
Mayor Nick Fischbach originally said he would support the project if donations covered the cost but changed his mind after residents complained about the idea.
"We don't want a carnival atmosphere," Fischbach said. "It's just a little too sideshow for our tastes."
Lovas hopes the council will

KU Med says PolyHeme safe; study continues
"Sometimes it's an advantage not to be absolutely first," he said, "and this has been a perfect case of that."
"The analysis of this study has determined that it's kind of an apples and oranges situation," McCulloch said.
He also said that it was common for studies to add protocols and make changes as they progress.
Jim Murray, a division chief for Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical agreed, calling the current study "tremendously different" than the one published in February.

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The results of a study recently published in the Wall Street Journal suggested that PolyHeme, a blood substitute, was unsafe. The University of Kansas Medical Center and Douglas County don't agree, and plan to continue experimental trials.
In the study cited in the Wall Street Journal, patients were given a combination of up to 20 units of PolyHeme and saline. Dennis McCulloch, a spokesman for the Medical Center, said the hospital's analysis of that study determined that bad reactions in patients were the result of excess fluids and not the PolyHeme.
The trial that the Medical Center is conducting calls for patients to be given no more than six units of PolyHeme for up to 12 hours.
"There are completely different controls in this trial," he said.
PolyHeme has potential advantages over saline for trauma patients because PolyHeme can carry oxygen and saline cannot.
The study will compare the survival rate of patients who receive PolyHeme to those who receive standard care, which is saline at the site of injury and blood in the hospital.
Those who do not wish to be considered for participation in the study can obtain a free "opt out" wristband, similar to an allergy bracelet, by contacting Suzanne Porras at (913) 588-3005 or by contacting the local fire and medical department.
The study has a very narrow range of participants. Murray said the main factors were that the patient had to be an adult who was in shock and had sustained blood-penetrating trauma. Only patients who will receive treatment at the Medical Center can be part of the study. He said that most of the people flown to the Medical Center wouldn't qualify.
The study will compare the survival rate of patients who receive PolyHeme to those who receive standard care, which is saline at the site of injury and blood in the hospital.
The three counties participating are Douglas, Leavenworth and Wyandotte. The Medical Center is one of about 33 Level I trauma centers nationwide participating in the study. The study will conclude when it has had a total of 720 participants.

Bush renews pre-emptive policy
BY DEB RIECHMANN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON—On Thursday, President Bush renewed his administration's strike-first policy against terrorists and other U.S. enemies, and rebuked Iran over allegations that it is secretly amassing nuclear weapons.
The White House said that by reaffirming the pre-emptive policy, the United States was not targeting Iran. Yet the national security strategy includes harsh words for the Iranian government, which Bush says may pose the greatest challenge to the U.S.
tion with friends and allies. That is our preference," Stephen Hadley, the president's national security adviser, said about the doctrine on pre-emption.
"It simply says, that one cannot let dangers grow to the point of eminent threat to the United States without taking action, and if other measures fail, obviously we retain the right to use force."
"Our preference is to act through diplomacy in conjunce-
The 49-page report also said: North Korea poses a serious nuclear proliferation challenge; expresses dismay at rollbacks in democratic reform in Russia; brands Syria a tyranny that harbors terrorists and sponsors terrorist activity; and warns China against denying personal and
political freedoms.
"China's leaders must realize, however, that they cannot stay on this peaceful path while holding on to old ways of thinking and acting that exacerbate concerns throughout the region and the world." Bush wrote.
The report accuses Iran of meddling in Iraq and equipping the insurgency, which is threatening a fragile democracy in Baghdad. The report was released as U.S. and Iraqi forces launched the largest air assault mission against insurgents and terrorists in Iraq since the U.S.-led invasion in April 2003.
The administration is working to persuade Russia and China to support a proposed U.N. Security Council resolution demanding that Iran end its uranium enrichment program.
"This diplomatic effort must succeed if confrontation is to be avoided," Bush said. He did not elaborate on what would happen if international negotiations with Iran were to fail.
Hadley said the international effort must speak with one voice if diplomacy can succeed in getting Iran to curb this step in nuclear weapons development.
The report is an updated version of one Bush issued in 2002 that outlined the pre-emptive policy, marking the end of a deterrent military strategy that dominated the Cold War.

University prepares teachers for ESL students
BY FRED A. DAVIS III
favis@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Chances are, you won't find any of these 14 University of Kansas students on facebook. com.
This group of KU students consists of seasoned elementary school teachers and educational specialists being trained to teach the moderate influx of English as a Second Language (ESL) children attending Cordley Elementary School at the beginning of the 2006-2007 school year.
Paul Markham, associate professor of teaching and leadership, teaches their course. "Developing Intercultural
Awareness in the Second Language Classroom," the second course of the six-course ESL certification program offered through the University.
The class meets every Thursday afternoon in the library of Cordley Elementary, 1837 Vermont St. The University is working with Cordley to certify and prepare the teachers for the ESL students.
The course is not necessarily unique, in the sense that certification for teachers is always ongoing, but it's unusual because instead of heading to the University for class, the students head to Cordley.
Markham said that because these teachers have families at home and other responsibilities
not shared by typical college students, the ability for Markham to meet the students at their workplace is a huge benefit.
Cordley principal Kim Bodensteiner said it would have been very difficult for her teachers to go through the training if they had to take the class on campus.
"These teachers are working a full work week, teaching straight through," she said.
She said that with papers and assignments — and arranging things like extra day care while in class — balancing schedules can be very challenging.
Bodensteiner also said that for some, the routine of writing papers and completing assignments has to be re-learned because it has been a while since they have had to do that.
Despite the challenges of the class, the teachers in the course realize the importance of what they're learning — and how it will help with teaching the ESL students.
The course is vital to the training of the Cordley staff because Bodensteiner is projecting 25 to 30 ESL students will attend the school starting next school year. Cordley will be the second elementary school in the Lawrence School District to offer ESL education; Hillcrest Elementary is the other.
That number is expected to climb to up to 100 ESL students in the next three to four years,
Bodensteiner said, with Lawrence's rising immigrant population. Cordley, which has 200 students, will not exceed more than 100 ESL students. Funding for the ESL certification program comes from a grant received by the Lawrence Public School District in August.
Mary Barke, a second-grade teacher at Cordley, said that although taking the class on top of teaching had certainly been a balancing act, she agreed with Bodensteiner that having the class at Cordley was a huge relief.
Barke added that she was not concerned about having to adjust to the new ESL students because Cordley already has a diverse population. Barke said the biggest challenge she saw was giving students the adequate amount of time they need to learn and adjusting the curriculum to meet their needs.
Jan Jenkins, a special education teacher at Cordley, worked with ESL students six years ago. Jenkins was excited about the ESL opportunity, especially for the non-ESL students.
"The benefit will be the richness and diversity brought to the other kids," Jenkins said. "Learning different ways of living, and being exposed to that
— it's exciting to expand kids' horizons."

"In the past, I have taken jazz, tap, ballet and I have been interested in ballroom dancing for a long time now, and so I decided to give a shot for at least a couple of lessons," she said.

Ortiz said he initially started attending the club's lessons because he was "fairly bored" when he attended parties.
"I didn't drink or really socialize, so I thought I would give dancing a chance. I couldn't dance at all and it was a little embarrassed," he said. "The club offered me a way to learn how to dance and now I can dance at a nightclub or wedding."
Long said workers had been taking the waste, such as insulation that can't be reused, to the city landfill. He said the University was also trying to reuse as many of the roof tiles as possible.
He said that Facilities Operations had finished cleaning up all the debris from sidewalks and roadways on campus but still had work to do in other areas.
He said he wanted to use the stumps to put in the campus garden as seats for children.
Ron Baker, owner of Willowridge Landscaping Co., 1453 E. 800 Rd., said he had seen a noticeable increase in business since Sunday's storm.

He said he had been called out to many of the properties he regularly maintains to help with fallen tree limbs and the removal of some entire trees.
Baker said the company had a disposal site where the debris was taken. He said he had been cutting some down for firewood but planned to burn most of it when the burn ban was lifted.
He was also looking into getting a chipper so a lot of the debris could be made into mulch and then reused.
He expects to have all his client's properties back to normal by the end of next week.

LEGISLATION Senate grants easy access to emergency pill
小文同学在班级群里发了一封信，内容是：
BY COLLEEN SLEVIN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — Women would be able to go straight to a pharmacy and get emergency contraception under a bill approved by a state Senate committee on Wednesday.
Susan Wood, the former women's health director for the Food and Drug Administration, told lawmakers that it's up to the states to give women easy access to the "morning after pill" because the federal government has "turned its back on the health of women." She resigned last August after the FDA decided to postpone a decision on making the drug available over-the-counter to those over 16 even though she said the agency's researchers concluded it was safe.
Emergency contraception is sold under the name Plan B and contains two pills that contain the same ingredients as birth control pills. One is taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex and the second pill is taken 12 hours after the first. It is not the abortion drug RU-486.
"If you support women's access to regular birth control pills, then you should support women's access to emergency contraception," Wood told members of the Senate Business, Labor and Technology Committee.
The committee voted 4-3 to back House Bill 1212 and send it to the full Senate for a vote. All the Democrats voted for it and all the Republicans voted against it.
Wood said controlled studies in Scotland and San Francisco, where some women were given access to emergency contraception and others weren't, showed that availability of the drug didn't lead to more promiscuity.
However, Diane Foley, a pediatrician and adolescent gynecologist in Colorado Springs, said she was worried there was no age limit on who could get the drug and no requirement that they follow up with a doctor.
Foley said a study in the United Kingdom showed that there was an increase in the number of sexually transmitted diseases after the drug was made available.
She thinks teens could develop more sexually transmitted diseases if the drug was made available because they would bypass her and go straight to the pharmacy. Currently, she said she requires girls asking for medication to have an exam first so she can check if they have contracted any diseases.
Some high school students who have pledged to remain virgins until they are married also feared the drug would increase promiscuity and lead teens to treat sex like a game instead of something serious.

INVESTIGATION
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 5A INVESTIGATION
BY ALAN SCHER ZAGIER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Snyder not fired by announcer
Snyder "would resist public appearances and other activities in which Alden thought he should participate," the report concluded.
As Missouri begins the task of hiring Snyder's replacement, the report sheds light on a tense relationship between Alden and the coach — Snyder's seven-year tenure that colleagues said "was rocky from the start."
COLUMBIA, Mo. — An outside investigation of the Missouri basketball program concluded athletics director Mike Alden did not send a radio announcer to fire former coach Quin Snyder, but the extent of the broadcaster's role in Snyder's departure may never be completely clear.
And by October, before the start of what would become Snyder's final season, the coach avoided his boss as much as possible, "canceling or not appearing" at meetings after Alden and University of Missouri Chancellor Brady Deaton rejected Snyder's request for a public show of support and a commitment to honor his contract through 2008.
According to an 11-page report released Thursday, Tigers broadcaster Gary Link — who is also an assistant to Alden — told a pair of investigators hired by the university that "Alden gave him no directive or order to talk with Snyder" on Feb. 9, hours after Snyder told reporters he would finish out the season.
Snyder wound up quitting the next day, with six regular season games remaining and a season record of 10-11 and 3-7 in the Big 12 Conference. Snyder did not speak with the outside investigators, but previously said he believed Link was sent by Alden to deliver the hatchet.
"It is clear they have completely opposite personalities
and very different life experiences," the report said of Snyder and Alden.
Kansas City attorney Jean Paul Bradshaw II and Lebanon Daily Record Publisher, Dalton Wright, also noted deficiencies in the University's "crisis" management of the convoluted events surrounding Snyder's departure, which they said created negative and "incomplete versions" of media coverage that "did not accurately convey what had happened."
Snyder officially left Missouri on Feb. 14 with a seven-year record of 126-91 that included NCAA tournament appearances his first four years. He received a $574,000 contract buyout that was approved by University curators. His total compensation package at Missouri, including incentives, was worth more than $1 million a season.
University of Missouri system President Elson Floyd brought on the two investigators after curators criticized an earlier inquiry by Deaton as incomplete.
Snyder's departure, though messy, was not unexpected. Alden first encouraged the coach to consider a midseason resignation more than a year ago, according to both the report released Thursday and notes from Deaton's investigation into Link's role.
Link had earlier told Deaton he would not "divulge the contents" of his conversations with Snyder and Alden, citing confidentiality. This time, he cooperated with the follow-up inquiry.
Link confirmed earlier accounts that he spoke with Snyder on Feb. 9 — two days after a 26-point thrashing by Baylor. Missouri's sixth consecutive double-digit loss — after conferring with Alden.
Alden told Snyder he needed a winning season, a finish in the top half of the Big 12 and an NCAA tournament appearance to avoid losing his job.

OUR OPINION
Sunshine week notes freedom of information
The time, it is to be hoped, is gone by, when any defense would be necessary of the "liberty of the press" as one of the securities against corrupt or tyrannical government. No argument, we may suppose, can now be needed, against permitting a legislature or an executive, not identified in interest with the people, to prescribe opinions to them, and determine what doctrines or what arguments they shall be allowed to hear.
For those of you who haven't completely forgotten what you learned for your Western Civilization midterm, John Stuart Mill wrote this in his essay, "On Liberty," in 1869. His words, however, remain timely. This week we celebrated Sunshine Week, an effort launched by the American Society of Newspaper Editors to facilitate discussion on the importance of open government and freedom of information.
Forty years ago, the Freedom of Information Act was passed. The Act was intended to give Americans access, with exceptions, to federal records. Paramount to the reporting industry, this act allows investigative stories to happen, including ones published in The University Daily Kansan. Without it, our reporters would not be able to retrieve vital information for stories, such as former reporter Steve Vockrodt's coverage of sex offenders or many of our crime-related and city council articles.
But the freedom of information is not limited just to reporters. Everyone has the right to request documents and should remain vigilant of encroachments upon our right to demand that our democracy run in an open manner.
According to the Information Security Oversight Office of the National Archives and Records
Issue: The Freedom of Information Act and its affect on media
Stance: The act helps journalists and the public uncover important issues.
Administration, the annual number of classified decisions jumped from 8.6 million to 15.6 million between 2001 and 2004.The number of pages declassified dropped from 100 million in 2001 to 28.4 million in 2004.
Critics complain the FOIA is plagued by chronic backlogs, unjustified rejections and inconsistent responses. Others say government officials exploit exemptions in the act that were enacted initially to protect privacy, without a national or constitutional right. When this happens, offenses often occur without repercussions because there are no penalties assessed if a public official fails to comply after receiving the request. Citizens may appeal, but they have little recourse other than to sue.
Not to say the Bush Administration isn't making attempts to rectify wrongs. In December, President Bush issued a directive ordering federal agencies to designate a senior official as a FOIA officer who is answerable to the public. These officers are also assigned to evaluate their agency's FOIA program and make any improvements deemed necessary.
Nonetheless, it is still up to the public to defend its rights to access government information. We are, after all, the ones fighting them for the information in the first place.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Too much emphasis placed on GRE
For those of you who don't know what the GRE is, it stands for "Graduate Record Examination." With a format similar to that of the SAT, the purpose of the test is to predict future academic success of prospective graduate school students. After applying to graduate school this semester, I came to the realization that many schools may rely too heavily on GRE scores. Even though most institutions deny there being any "cut-off" score required for admission into certain graduate programs, GPAs and other supplemental materials don't pull the same weight that they used to. Decent graduate schools recommend students to score in the 90th percentile
on either the verbal or quantitative section, depending on their field of study. While taking the GRE, one may experience mayhem, joy, frustration, relief, or anger. Many people may begin to wonder about their academic future if their scores are only average. I find it hard to believe that a three-hour test is accurate in predicting academic success. Can it seriously outweigh three or more years of college coursework? If so, I suggest you learn the formula for finding the length of an arc and look up definitions for the words "charlatan" and "vituperative."

Iranian cartoon contest will cause more problems
COMMENTARY
In September 2005, one of the most controversial events in journalism occurred in Denmark. By now, everyone should know about the cartoons that the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten published depicting the Islamic prophet Muhammad. This created an uproar both in the Islamic world and the Western world.
According to the Web site that lists the rules of the contest (http://www.hamshaahr.org/images/InternationalCartoonE.jpg), its premise is to find out "What is the Limit of Western Freedom of Expression." Basically, the Iranian newspaper wants to see how far people will go in creating these cartoons. It is also testing the Western world's readiness to see cartoons about the Holocaust.
Now, an Iranian newspaper, Hamshahri, is running a contest in which entrants send in their own editorial cartoons depicting the Holocaust as retaliation for the Muhammad cartoons.
The Lawrence Journal-World published a brief about the contest earlier in the week. It reported that one entry showed Jewish people entering a pipeline. No guessing is needed to understand that this picture is depicting the mass execution of Jewish people in gas chambers.
An immediate reaction to this contest is disgust and horror. World War II ended more than 60 years ago, but that is no excuse to make a mockery out

ERIN WILEY
Some of the people that endured concentration camps lived there for many years. They lived on little or no food, were surrounded by death and disease and were forced to work long hours in any kind of weather.
If these people were sent into the camp in the mid-1930s and lived to see liberation they were in there almost 10 years. I'm 20 years old; that's half my life. The same goes for many of the students on campus. That is incomprehensible to me. These people should be respected, not mocked. There are Holocaust survivors still alive today. Have they not gone through enough already? Is it really necessary to re-open wounds with these cartoons?
This contest is not being run at a very appropriate time. There will probably never be an appropriate time for a contest like this one.
"I would hope the world is never ready for cartoons like that, the genocide and murder of any people, be it Jews in the Holocaust or anything else," Jay
Lewis, Executive Director of KU Hillel said. "It's disappointing that some people have chosen to equate the other cartoon depictions of Muhammad with cartoons depicting the mass murder of Jews. It's disappointing and offensive."
The next question is, how is this contest and the winning cartoons going to affect the future? Free speech is the root of the issue with these cartoons. Even though it may be one person's opinion that it's funny to see a cartoon mocking the Holocaust, it's not everyone's. Like the protests and outbursts of the Denmark cartoons, I believe equal, if not larger-scale, retaliations will occur.
Like the opinion page of a newspaper, editorial cartoons are also open to anyone's opinion. The topic of the Holocaust is different. It is one thing to mock a President's foreign or domestic policy, but it is quite another to mock an event that nearly destroyed a population.
It is apparent that the Iranian newspaper learned nothing from the Denmark cartoon incident. After the contest ends in May and the winning cartoons run, don't be surprised if the world angrily backlashes just like it has done once before over something as simple as a cartoon.

State must consider tribal casinos
The Kansas Senate is considering the creation of two state-owned casinos — one in Kansas City, Kan., and one in southeast Kansas. The Senate is also considering the introduction of slot machines at other venues across the state. This bill has not yet been passed, but with a court-ordered education budget increase of $500 million and no clear alternative path to collecting this money, it is a very real possibility. If it does pass, it will raise a question of social responsibility that we cannot shy away from.
JEFF VINCENT opinion@hansan.com
I am a young, curious and ambitious individual with a passion for learning and sharing knowledge. I love to travel, explore new cultures and discover the beauty of nature. I enjoy reading books, writing stories, and engaging in conversations with people from all walks of life. I am also passionate about helping others and making a positive impact on their lives.
Vincent is an Overland Park senior in English.
There are currently four casinos in the state. They are run by the Kickapoo; Prairie Band Potawatomi; Sac and Fox; and Iowa tribes under the Indian Gaming Act. It is important to note that not all tribes benefit from these enterprises. In order to participate, a tribe must be federally recognized, and many are not. Many other tribes have no interest in running gambling operations.
Nonetheless, money from these existing casinos is funneled to a variety of projects, including the development and maintenance of reservations, tuition assistance for college students and startup capital for small business initiatives.
I am no expert, but it is my estimation that the introduction of state-owned casinos in major metropolitan areas will dramatically undercut these more remote, already existing casino's earning potentials. The state government needs to take this into account before proceeding with its current course of action.
If the state goes ahead with this gambling initiative, it is imperative that studies be conducted to forecast the financial impact it will have on all of the state's citizens. Furthermore, if it is found that there will be substantial undercutting of these pre-existing casino's potential earnings, then it is the responsibility of the state to provide some sort of transitional financial cushion to these people.
The proprietors of already existing casinos do not, and ought not, have exclusive rights to the running of casinos in the state. However, as the proposed casinos will be state-owned entities, it is the responsibility of the state to recognize the potential displacement of pre-existing casinos. More importantly, we must consider the people whose lives may be dramatically altered for the worse as a result.
Renee Johnson, a member of the Mississippi Choctaw Tribe and a manager at the KU Bookstore, knows the situation firsthand.
"All tribes handle the proceeds from their casinos differently, but that money generally goes to funding all kinds of programs on reservations — everything from day care to affordable housing to college scholarships for the kids on the reservation to health care," Johnson said.

Fans and media wait after they were evacuated from Cox Arena at San Diego State University during a bomb scare before the scheduled first-round games of the NCAA Men's College Basketball Tournament, Thursday. The first game between Alabama and Marquette started 70 minutes after its scheduled start.
Bomb scare delays tournament
BY BETH HARRIS
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN DIEGO — The arena for the first-round NCAA men's tournament game between Alabama and Marquette was temporarily evacuated Thursday after bomb-sniffing dogs detected "something strange" on a food vendor's cart two hours before tip-off.
After the FBI, police and security officials checked, the alcear was given at Cox Arena nearly two hours later. The game began at 12:50 p.m. — 70 minutes after the original start time.
"Ultimately, after a period
of time, it was determined that there was not a hazard, explosive, biohazard, whatever you would like to call it, associated with that cart," said Lt. Robert McManus, incident commander for the San Diego State Police Department.
The large silver cart, filled with condiments, straws and paper towels among other items, initially drew the suspicion of one dog, McManus said. Another dog detected the same thing. Investigators removed the cart from the arena.
"Two other dogs were brought in and they didn't smell it," he said.
FBI spokeswoman Jan Caldwell initially said the dogs detected a package inside a 4 foot by 6 inch condiment container in the cart located on the upper concourse of San Diego State's arena. A bomb robot was sent to the scene, she said.
"Ultimately, there was not an object. It was the cart in general that was under suspicion when the dogs alerted on it," McManus said. Investigators were not sure what the first two dogs detected.
"Not because we thought it was still a hazard," MeManus said. "We just want to double-check and see if we can determine what substance, if any, the
dog alerted on."
The days' other games at Cox Arena were expected to start only a few minutes behind schedule, said Chris Hill, a member of the NCAA Division I basketball committee.
"We will continue to remain vigilant in our security planning throughout our tournament, and the safety and security of our student-athletes, teams and fans is paramount," the NCAA said in a statement.
The dogs are trained by the Transportation Safety Administration and have worked presidential visits to San Diego, McManus said.
GORDON PARKS
The man who 'knew no barriers'
BY CARL MANNING THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
FORT SCOTT — Gordon Parks was buried near his parents Thursday. He was eulogized at a funeral service in a church he wouldn't have entered as a child because he was black.
He was remembered as a man who used his talents as a photographer, writer, composer and filmmaker to battle racism and poverty during a life that came full circle from a humble beginning to an exulted end in his hometown.
Born in 1912, he was the youngest of 15 children. Parks lived in what he later recalled as a world of racism and poverty.
Over the years, his views tempered. Shortly before his death on March 7 at his home in New York at age 93, Parks said he considered Kansas his home and wanted to be buried near his parents.
At the service Thursday, speakers, including Gov. Kathleen Sebelius and musician-acutor Avery Brooks, talked about Parks and what he did.
"Gordon Parks was a man who knew no barriers to his own talent, and he used that talent to bring down the barriers that walled-in so many of his countrymen." Sebelius told roughly 600 people who attended.
"And he used the body of his work to blow away the blinders that kept us from seeing that the plight of the poor is the plight of us all," she said.
Looking out over the audience of blacks and whites sitting shoulder to shoulder, Brooks began speaking softly and then his voice rose.
"What a magnificent man," Brooks said. "This man knew how to live. He gave us so much to last many lifetimes."
He said Parks felt that "to stand and be counted was the only way to live."

Win or lose: It's March madness in 'Hawkland
TIM HALL thall@kansan.com
BENOIT SMITH
It has begun. The greatest tournament of the year is under way. The madness is spreading. I love this stuff.
It's too bad that Pacific couldn't pull off the double-overtime upset of Boston College Thursday, because that would have been a No. 13 seed victory against a No. 4 seed that seems to happen each year. All superstitions aside, Kansas has a game to play tonight against No. 13 seed Bradley out of the Missouri Valley Conference. In this edition of Down the Hall, I'm going to play Joe Lunardi or Andy Katz (whomever you prefer) and scout the Oakland region. For what it's worth, I won my bracket pool last year.
The Kansas Jayhawks will have no trouble getting past the Bradley Braves. Yes, Bradley does have a couple of seven-footers, but the Jayhawks are one of the premier teams in the nation right now, and there's no chance on earth that coach Self will let another Bucknell happen.
Speaking of Bucknell, did you see which team the Jayhawks might face in the Sweet Sixteen? Think it, but don't bank on it. If the Bison beat the Razorbacks in the first round, they'll likely face the top-seeded Memphis Tigers in the second. Memphis is good, but Bucknell still returned the same starting five who beat Kansas last year. I still move Memphis into the Sweet Sixteen because of Rodney Carney, Darius Washington Jr., and Shawne Williams. The Jayhawks will likely face Pittsburgh in the second round, a very difficult draw. But I pick Kansas to beat the fourth place Big East team, because Pitsburgh will have nowhere to turn to if seven-footer Aaron Gray gets into any foul trouble.
In the bottom half of the bracket are the two pacific coast teams: Gonzaga and UCLA. UCLA should use a virtual home-court advantage to coast into the Sweet Sixteen. The Bruins could potentially make it to Indianapolis without leaving the state of California.
If I predicted last night's late games correctly, Indiana and Gonzaga both won close basketball games. I've been saying for a couple of weeks that Gonzaga will be an early exit because of all those close WCC games it played in, but that was before I found out they could play San Diego State or Indiana in the second round. Adam Morrison and the mustache will take the 'Zags to the round of 16 and lose to the Bruins.
Kansas' defense will prove to be too much for Rodney Carney and John Calipari's Memphis Tigers, and the Jayhawks will meet UCLA in the regional final in Oakland for the trip to Indianapolis. Kansas and UCLA could make for a great match-up. The battle of the underappreciated. UCLA has great midsize players in Aaron Affalo and Josh Shipp and a capable seven-footer in Ryan Holllins. The Bruins will have a home-court advantage in Oakland, but I think the Kansas defense will be enough to stop the Pacific-10 champs.
I'm not a homer; I really believe that this Kansas team got a good break in the brackets and its confidence is high after beating Texas. The Jayhawks can do it, if they play tough defense, and pour in the fastbreak points off turnovers. Win or lose, it will be one crazy ride. That is what this month is all about — madness.

Jayhawks prepare for 1st round foe
BY RYN COIAIANNI

KANSAN SENIOR SPORTWRITER
AUBURN HILLS. Mich.
- Scores of all the NCAA tournament action were being reported over the loud speaker at The Palace while Kansas was on the floor Thursday.
Kansas coach Bill Self talked with CBS broadcasters Vern Lundquist and Bill Raftery at the scorer's table.
Players signed autographs in the tunnel leading to the locker room just after Rodrick Stewart, Julian Wright and others treated fans to spectacular dunks before leaving the floor.
It was not a normal practice for the Kansas Jayhawks.
The spectacle was all part of the drill for Kansas players Thursday, working out at The Palace of Auburn Hills in front of a few hundred fans, the day before their opening
round match-up with Bradley tonight.
Kansas' real practice had occurred earlier in the day at a Detroit Pistons practice facility nearby.
"It was just like practice yesterday, and just like the day before," Self said. "Our approach today was no different than if we were preparing to play a midseason game."
The team practiced earlier in the day last year before the Bucknell game, something they will not do today. Instead, Kansas will shoot around at The Palace and wait until its game.
For the second straight year, Kansas will play on Friday night, in one of the last games of the tournaments first round. It will give the players plenty of time to sit around, watch other games, and think about the game later in the day.
"Games at 9:30 are tough to play because it makes for a long, long day, but we've got our academic staff here and we can do some things like a study hall." Self said about what his team might do to pass the time before tip-off.
Kansas is hoping that tonight's game will be a start of something special. The team comes in as one of the hottest teams in the country, winning 15 of its past 16 games heading into tonight's game against Bradley.
"We are just going to come out hard every game and not think about anything that happened last year," freshman guard Mario Chalmers said. "If we play our game, we should do great in this tournament."
"If we play hard and play together, I think we are going to do great and go as far as we possibly can," sophomore center Sasha Kaun said.

KANSAN STOR WRITER
When opponents play Northern Iowa, they often resort to zone defense to shut down 6-foot-7 inch forward Cassie Hager.
Bonnie Henrickson had no such plans. The Kansas coach
Kemp succeeded and the Jayhawks picked up their first postseason victory since 1999, defeating Northern Iowa 59-49 in the preliminary round of the WNIT.
put her faith in senior forward Crystal Kemp to shut down Hager in a one-on-one match-up.
Before the game, Henrickson gave Kemp a scouting report on how to handle Hager.
"I said be physical with her and be fast around her," Henrickson said. "You might not see the results in the first half, but I thought it paid dividends in the second half, because I thought she got tired and lost her legs a little bit."

Zinic steps up, makes difference

KANSAN SENIOR SPORTWRITER
After her first postseason game, Marija Zinic sported a new look.
In a physical, contested opener to the WNIT Thursday night, the freshman forward caught an elbow in the first half from a Northern Iowa guard that resulted in the start of a black eye.
"I think she's going to put, like, two tons of makeup on,"
freshman guard Ivana Catic said, of Zinic's plan for Friday morning.
Without Zinic's aggressive play in the second half, Kansas' trip to the WNIT might have ended quickly. Zinic scored 11 of her 13 points in the second half. On numerous plays she was able to spin away from her defender in the paint for easy layups.

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. Another game, another seven-footer.
A week after beating Texas in the Big 12 Championship game and facing big man LaMarcus Aldridge, Kansas will have to
face another seven-foot tail center tonight when it plays its first round NCAA tournament game against Bradley University.
Aldridge is projected to be the first pick in the NBA Draft next season according to several draft Web sites. Another player who is mentioned on many of those same Web sites is Patrick O'Bryant.
O'Bryant, a sophomore at Bradley, is averaging 13.2 points per game and eight rebounds per contest. Kansas coach Bill Self said he knew O'Bryant was a talented player that had a bright future ahead of him.
"We just played against a real similar player in Aldridge from Texas," Self said. "Except O'Bryant is heavier than he is."
There is no doubt that he will play at the next level and be an impact guy."
O'Bryant missed the first eight games of the season because he was suspended by the NCAA for an inadvertent violation of the "extra benefit" rule during the summer. The NCAA said he made too much money this summer at a job he held.

"It made me want it more," O'Bryant said. "To sit there and watch your team for eight games and not be able to play, you come back wanting to get some revenge."
When he came back from the suspension, O'Bryant didn't miss a beat.

TENNIS K-State blasts through Kansas; ranking falls
The Kansas tennis team lost to No. 56 Kansas State on Wednesday by a score of 6-1.
The Jayhawks started off with a record of 4-1, and have lost four straight matches, are 1-5 in their past six matches.
Freshman Ksenia Bukina, who at one point this season held the No. 81 ranking in the nation, is now No. 99.
The only Jayhawk player to win a singles match against the Wildcats was sophomore Elizaveta Avdeevae against Jessica Simosa in three sets.
The loss to Kansas State gave Kansas a record of 5-6, including 0-3 in the Big 12 and tied for last place with Missouri and Iowa State.

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Just an hour and a half before the Kansas men's basketball team kicks off March Madness today, the Kansas baseball team will kick off the beginning of its Big 12 Conference season.
This season could be deemed as the most difficult non-conference schedule in Kansas history. The Jayhawks had a Rating Per Index of 100 at the end of last year. At the beginning of this year, Kansas's RPI was 26. The RPI is a ranking based on a team's intended strength of schedule.
"It's definitely been a positive for us to play the teams that we've played so far to get ready for the Big 12," sophomore third baseman Erik Morrison said. "I think this team is more ready than it was last year."
Kansas will take on No. 18 Baylor (12-5) tonight in Waco, Texas, to open the season.
Kansas has won nine of its past 11 games, but hasn't favored well against Baylor lately. The Jayhawks posted an 0-4 record against the Bears last season. Baylor, the defending Big 12 champion, is on a two-game losing skid.
On Tuesday, the Bears fell to the Houston Cougars, 5-3. Baylor hitters put up a fight in the ninth inning, closing a 5-1 gap, but could not come out on top.
Although the Jayhawks could not bring home a series victory against No. 3 Clemson last weekend, they were just five outs shy of winning Saturday and Sunday's matchups. Kansas defeated Clemson once during the three-game series.
"It was huge for us," junior pitcher Sean Land said of the victory. "It was the first time that I've been here that we were expecting to win two games while we were down there. That's a good feeling to have."
Kansas will have to face a pair of Baylor pitchers in senior Ryan LaMotta (2-2) and junior Cory VanAllen (3-1). Price said

he had a lot of respect for the pair.
“Obviously with Baylor, the strength of their club is pitching,” Price said. “Ryan LaMotta is as good as anybody in our league, and VanAllen, I think, is a second- or third-rounder out of high school. They have phenomenal pitching.”
As history shows, Kansas tends to score runs to cover for its lack of pitching.
At the plate, Baylor catcher Zach Dillon leads the team with a .340 batting average and 13 RBI on the season.
Morrison was the only Jayhawk to get a base hit in every game against Clemson last weekend, which included a two-run home run that paved the way for a game-two victory.
"I'm taking good strides to where I want to be," Morrison said. "My forte is defense — that's kind of what I feed off to hit and I haven't really played defense as well as I'm capable of. When that gets going I'll be ready to go for the Big 12."
Injured starters Ryne Price and Matt Baty will not play this weekend against Baylor. Price has a broken wrist bone and Baty lacerated his spleen and a kidney in a collision when playing against Lipscomb University.
"I think we're as ready as we could possibly be to start conference," Price said. "And if we were healthy, if we had a couple more guys, we'd be completely read."

▼ STRIKEOUTS ARE FASCIST
High hopes for Kansas at beginning of conference play
Alissa Bauer: Shawn, we've got to give props to coach Ritch Price and his squad for taking on the non-conference schedule that they have. Being 15-6 against the powerhouses they've faced on the road will be huge going into Big 12 play tonight against Baylor.
Shawn Shroyer: With the caliber of teams Kansas has played so far, I wouldn't be surprised if Price and the 'Hawks are relieved that conference play is here. They can't afford to let down this weekend, though. Eighteenth-ranked Baylor reached the College World Series last season and might be even better this year.
AB: Agreed. They certainly
can't be any worse than last year. Aces Ryan LaMotta and Cory VanAllen are throwing again for the Bears. Both did more than fine against Kansas last year, especially LaMotta. Actually, a lot of Big 12 pitchers did more than fine against Kansas. I don't see that happening in 2006; Kansas is a force this year.
SS: No doubt. Gus Milner has been an offensive juggernaut and veterans Ritchie Price and Jared Schweitzer are giving him plenty of RBI opportunities. I've been most impressed with the potential of newcomer junior outfielder Kyle Murphy. You never know if he's going to line a double off the wall or drop a

bunt for a base hit, and he can create havoc on the base paths. There's nothing more valuable than a player who can turn a single into a triple by stealing his way around the bases. Who do you see making an impact on offense for Kansas in Big 12 play who isn't making much noise right now?
AB: Well, he's not making any noise right now but we're only a week away from the return of Ryne Price. His ability to produce will boost an offense already hitting 300. That's spectacular considering Price and senior lead-off man Matt Baty have both been sidelined for the past two weeks. The pair combined to score 84 runs last season and already scored 20 times in the pre-injury days of 2006.
SS: Yeah, but the Jayhawks better hope their pitchers can stay healthy. Senior right Kodiak Quick leads all starters right now with a 1.82 ERA and 25 strikeouts, while junior Sean Land and senior Ricky Fairch-
id both lead the team with four wins. Plus, senior closer Don Czzy leads the NCAA with eight saves. After that, Kansas pitchers don't have much experience. Pitching will be the deciding factor as to who will come out on top of the Big 12. Who is going to claim the Big 12 title in May?
AB: The Jayhawks have the art of scoring runs down to a science, but the Big 12 is known for its arms. Those who can pitch, win. This year, Kansas joined the arms race, but I still see Nebraska, Texas and Baylor in the top three spots. Solid pitching is reason number one. But at number four? Yep, Kansas.
SS: I can't dispute your top
two selections. The Huskers are going to roll to another Big 12 Championship and CWS appearance. As for the defending National Champs, at one point, Texas was at 9-8. I don't see them repeating this year, but now at 14-9 they at least looked poised to make a run at another championship. Finally, in regard to the 'Hawks, five wins in their next seven games before playing Wichita State will send them well on their way to a thirdplace finish in the Big 12.

If you like where you are, you better work your butt of to stay where it is," Self said. "It's not fair, but that's the reality of the way the game is when you coach at Kansas."
Kaun said that there was a distinct difference between this year's team and last year's team in that Self recruited nearly all of the players that are playing a significant role this season.
"This time we have a young group and a very coachable group," Kaun said. "He's just doing his job coaching us and just having fun doing it."
Kaun said he thought Bradley
and Kansas were similar.
They both feature a tall front court and a quick back court.
"They are a fast team and do a tremendous job pressuring the ball," Kaun said. "It's going to be a great match-up." Basketball Notes:
Should Kansas win tonight, the time of its game Sunday may change. Currently Kansas is scheduled to play at 11 a.m., which is the lone game being played, meaning it would be a national telecast on CBS.
Depending how Kansas' and other games play out, CBS can move start times.
Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony said Thursday that Kansas would find out after its game tonight, should it win, what time it would play Sunday — either at 11 a.m. or 30 minutes following the 11 a.m. game.

He scored 17 points in his first game against Northern Iowa and grabbed 11 rebounds. His season really picked up toward the end.
He had a streak of five games in conference play where he averaged 19 points a game and the team went 4-1 during that streak.
O'Bryant arrived on NBA scouts' radar last summer when he attended the Michael Jordan Flight School in California and the Pete Newell Big Man Camp in Las Vegas. At that camp, he was roommates with Kansas sophomore center Sasha Kaun.
Kaun and O'Bryant have never played against each other in a game, but Kaun said he knew how talented the Bradley big man was, and said that it would be a challenge to slow him down in tonight's game.
"You have to make him feel you every possession, whether it's offense or defense," Kaun said. "You just have to play real physical with him. He's a big body and you have to play smart against him, you can't get in foul trouble."
O'Bryant said college recruiters doubted his desire and dedication to work hard.
Kansas will have one advantage when guarding O'Bryant and that's its depth at the forward position.
He said he used that as motivation every time he took the floor.
Kansas rotates four guys regularly, Kaun, sophomores CJ Giles and Darnell Jackson and freshman Julian Wright. Senior Christian Moody could see some minutes too.
Jackson said having so much depth at the front court positions could hurt O'Bryant when he faced off against Kansas.
"I think having so many guys available could hurt him because we all play a little different style of defense," Jackson said. "Not to mention, we'll all be fresher than he will."

Game against Ole Miss rescheduled for Sunday
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
rschneider@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR SPORTSWRIVER
After its first postseason victory in seven seasons, Kansas will take on Mississippi Sunday at 6 p.m. in Allen Fieldhouse. The Rebels had a bye in the preliminary round of the WNIT.
The game was originally scheduled for Saturday afternoon, but Mississippi had problems finding a charter flight to Lawrence.
"It is actually good because it gives us two days instead of one," Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said of the game being moved back a day. "Ole Miss is tremendously athletic."
The Rebels have one of the
nation's few point guards who averages a double-double on the season. Armintie Price, a 5-foot-9 inch guard, averages 17 points and 10 rebounds per game. Mississippi has three starters who average double-figures in points. The problem the Rebels will have against Kansas is its height. Mississippi only has one player over 6-2, while Kansas has three.
Mississippi lost in the semifinals of the Southeastern Conference Tournament to Louisiana State. 91-73.
As a team, Mississippi finished eighth in the Southeastern Conference with a 16-13 record.

When the Jayhawks were finally able to fatigue the Panthers it was a tie game at 39-39 with 9 minutes left. For the next 8 minutes, Northern Iowa did not make a shot from the field, ending any opportunity it would pull the upset and allowing Kansas to celebrate the victory in the game's final minutes. Kemp finished the game as the leading scorer, getting 18 points on 21 shots. Kemp also allowing Hager to block only two shots.
"I let her know I wasn't scared to shoot." Kemp said.
She added that it would be great preparation for players she might face if she decided to play professional basketball next year. The victory means Kansas will play the University of Mississippi on Sunday at 6 p.m. That game will be in Allen Fieldhouse. It will be the first round of the WNIT. Thursday night's game was part of the play-in round to narrow the field from 40 to 32.
"We had to prove that we were supposed to be in it," senior guard Erica Hallman said, "and I think we did a good job."
Henrickson said the team would try to build on the confidence it developed in Thursday's game, and perhaps nobody would be able to do that more than Kaylee Brown.
The senior guard had shot just 12-of-52 in her last six games, but found herself with an open look and a chance to put the game away with the Jeyhawks up seven and 3 minutes left. She drained a three and ran downcourt while getting high-fives from her teammates.
"It was good to see," Henrickson said. "It's been a while since we've seen her hit a big bucket in the corner."
Brown finished with nine points, and Hallman had 13, but the game was won inside, where Kemp and freshman forward Marija Zinic combined for 31 points. It was a typical March game, with both sides fighting for position and trying to muscle out the other players.
"At first you've got to play with the refs to see what you can do," Kemp said. "After we all figured it out we were able to go in there and get some good ones that probably should have been called on both ends."
Kansas will have two days to recover before taking the court again against Mississippi and getting another opportunity to extend the season.
"I was so anxious the entire week," freshman guard Ivana Catic said. "I couldn't sleep. I just want a chance to stay in the game and keep playing."

Freshman forward Marija Zinic defends a Northern Iowa player Thursday night in Allen Fieldhouse. Zinic played for 23 minutes and scored 13 points in the first round of the WNIT.
Zinic
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
With Northern Iowa's defense focused on stopping All-Big 12 senior forward Crystal Kemp in the paint, Zinic had numerous open looks at the basket.
"They doubled Crystal the whole time," Zinic said. "Basically, I was wide open. I was just trying to find a way to make the wide open shots."
Zinic's ability to knock down the open shots enabled Kansas to close a six-point Northern Iowa lead early in the second half. With the Jayhawks trailing by three with 9 minutes remaining, Zinic pulled down an offensive rebound, scored the basket and was fouled, giving her team the lead for good. Northern Iowa coach Tony DiCecco said Zinic was a better player than he realized when scouting Kansas before the game.
"I thought that Zinic did a good job and stepped up, which was the difference in the game," DiCecco said.
Zinic's play in the paint enabled Kemp to score easy baskets after UNI stopped doubling Kemp to focus on Zinic.
"She was able to finish tough shots," Kemp said. "She got on a roll being aggressive and that's what we need her to do."
For Zinic, the game marked the second consecutive game she scored in double figures off the bench. She scored 13 points against Northern Iowa and a career-high 14 points against Kansas State in the Big 12 Conference Tournament.
Zinic's teammates have credited part of her strong finish to the season to her adjustment to the English language. Zinic, a Novi Sad, Serbia and Montenegro, native, had never been to the United States before last fall.
"I think she had gotten more comfortable with the language and just her understanding of the game has become so much better," freshman guard Ivana Catic said.

NCAA BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT
Wisconsin-Milwaukee upsets No. 6 Oklahoma
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Wisconsin-Milwaukee Panthers have stopped surprising themselves in the NCAA tournament.
BY FRED GOODALL THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Pulling off their third major upset in two years, the 11th-seeded Horizon League champions got 24 points apiece from Joah Tucker and Boo Davis to eliminate No. 6 seed Oklahoma 82-74 in the Minneapolis Regional on Thursday.
The closest Oklahoma (20-9) got the rest of the way was six. Terrell Everett led the Sooners with 21 points, but most of his production came after it was too late.
Tucker, one of the stars in Milwaukee's stunning run to the round of 16 last season, scored nine during a 23-7 surge that carried the Panthers (22-8) to a 60-46 lead with just over seven minutes to go.
With four starters back — but without coach Bruce Pearl, now at Tennessee — from the team that upset Alabama and Boston College before losing to eventual national finalist Illinois in last year's tournament. Milwaukee had both the experience and confidence
necessary to get the job done again against an Oklahoma team that many felt underachieved in finishing third in the Big 12.
Inconsistency undermined the Sooners all season, and it looked like they could be in for a long afternoon when Tucker's high-arching three-pointer put Milwaukee up 24-14 with just over eight minutes left in the opening half.
But just as quickly as it appeared the game might be slipping away, Michael Neal hit a three-pointer and Kevin Bookout made two easy baskets to start a 17-9 run that closed Oklahoma's deficit to 33-31 at the half.
The Sooners closed the gap despite playing the last three minutes of the half without Bookout, who walked off clutching his already-taped left wrist after getting tangled with a Milwaukee player and tumbling to the floor.
The Oklahoma forward returned for the start of the second half with his wrist taped even more heavily and finished with 14 points. David Godbold had 15 points and leading scorer Taj Gray had 13 before fouling out in the closing minutes.

Boston College ends victorious in double-overtime battle
NCAA BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT
BY EDDIE PELLS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SALT LAKE CITY — Boston College got the first NCAA thriller out of the way Thursday, a double-overtime 88-76 victory that derailed scrappy Pacific and the Maraker Express.
The final overtime was anticlimacit, but the fourth-seeded Eagles (27-7) made it interesting for the first 45 minutes.
first overtime and needed a pair of free throws from Craig Smith, a 64 percent shooter, with 4.3 seconds left to send the game into the next extra period.
With nine seconds left in regulation, Pacific's star, Christian Maraker, hit an open three-pointer to tie the game at 65 — a shot the Pacific fans were cheering for even before it left his hands.
But BC held Maraker scoreless in the two overtimes and
BC trailed by six early in the
the 13th-seeded Tigers (24-8) failed in their quest to advance to the second round for the third straight year.
Everyone on the BC team but Jared Dudley took the razor to their head before the game and now, the Eagles will take their game, and their new look, into the second round of the Minneapolis regional against either Nevada or Montana.
Smith led the Eagles with 25
points and 13 rebounds and Dudley had 23 points. Tyrese Rice opened the second overtime with an alley-oop pass to Sean Williams for a dunk, then followed with a three-pointer, his only bucket of the game
— to help Boston College start pulling away.
Pacific had a bunch of nice looks early in that overtime, but Maraker (30 points, nine rebounds) and Johnny Gray each had three-pointers rim out. By
the time the Big West champs scored, they were trailing by nine with 1:45 left — playing out the string in an otherwise taut, exciting game.
rim on Pacific's next possession, the Eagles worked it to Smith, who drew contact inside against Maraker and went to the line for the tying free throws.
Mike Webb opened the first overtime with a pair of three-pointers to put Pacific ahead 71-65. BC pulled within two, but Gray (16 points) answered with another three to make it 74-69. But Dudley made a three-pointer to pull it within two and after Michael White barely grazed the
As the second overtime wore down and it became clear this would be Maraker's last college game, the small Pacific fan base got its point across — yelling "overrated" to the BC players who had to work hard against the team from Stockton, Calif.

One game at a time
KU TIP-OFF
AT A GLANCE:
Kansas comes into the tournament as one of the hottest teams in the nation. Kansas has won 22 of its past 25 games, went 13-3 in conference play and won three straight games in the conference tournament to take the title. Kansas does it with youth, with its top seven scorers being freshmen and sophomores.
CJ GILES. The sophomore center
will have his hands full when he faces Bradley's 7-footer, Patrick O'Bryant. Giles will not start, but will play an integral role when he replaces sophomore center Sasha Kaun.
PLAYER TO WATCH:
Kansas avenged a 25-point loss to Texas earlier this season by defeating the Longhorns in Dallas in the Big 12 Championship game. Freshman guard Mario Chalmers led the way for Kansas throughout the conference tournament, averaging 16 points per game. Kansas had five players in double figures in the game and held Texas center LaMarcus Aldridge to just five points.
Giles
15 - victories for Kansas in its past 16 games
LAST TIME OUT:
A
Giles needs to play good defense and use his long arms to help alter O'Bryant's shots. He also needs to make sure he does not pick up careless fouls. If Giles can stop O'Bryant, it will allow Kansas to spread its defense.
5 QUICK FACTS:
17 - consecutive NCAA tournament appearances for Kansas
2. 69 - Steals per game for freshman guard Mario Chalmers
13. 6 - points per game for freshman guard Brandon Rush
36. 8 - field goal percentage defense for Kansas, which leads the nation
KEY TO VICTORY:
Forget about the hype. It appears that nearly every national punit from Digger Phelps to Jay Bilas thinks that Kansas is going to make a significant run in the tournament this season. Kansas players need to focus on their opponent today rather than what they might do in a few weeks. That should not be difficult for Kansas, if it looks at what happened to the team last year in a first-round loss to Bucknell.
Kansas vs. Bradley 8:30 p.m., The Palace of Auburn Hills
KANSAS
OFFENSE:
Mario Ckalmers
KSAS
15
With freshman guard Brandon Rush struggling on the offensive end in recent weeks, Kansas has found other ways to get points. Freshman guard Mario Chalmers has been more active and averaged 16 points per game during the Big 12 Tournament last week en route to a Most Outstanding Player of the tournament award. Senior guard Jeff Hawkins provided a spark off the bench by hitting four of five clutch three-pointers during the Big 12 Championship game. The Kansas offense will need to get the ball inside to sophomore centers Sasha Kaun and CJ Giles to get the Bradley big men in foul trouble.
DEFENSE:
KU
KU
KU
KU
The Kansas defense is the best in the nation in field goal percentage defense, allowing its opponents to shoot just 36.8 percent from the field. Kansas does it with first team all-Big 12 defensive team guards Mario Chalmers and Russell Robinson. These two pressure opposing guards and force steals. Chalmers led the conference in steals with 2.69 per game. The Kansas post players will have their hands full guarding Bradley's Patrick O'Bryant and Marcellus Sommerville. Kaun and Giles will not be expected to do much on the offensive end, but they must find a way to stop Sommerville and O'Bryant if Kansas is going to get the victory.
COACHES:
KU KU KU
KU
There have been few coaching jobs in the country this season as impressive as
playing defense, leading to one of the most dominant defensive teams in the country. Self was honored by the Big 12 as coach of the year and most certainly will be a candidate for national coach of the year. Self needs to find a way to stop Bradley post players Sommerville and O'Bryant. If Self can find a way, it should be an easy victory for Kansas.

BRADLEY
OFFENSE:
BRAVS BRAVS BRAVS
Bradley finished the season in a flurry, winning eight of its last 10 games, and it has done it with its offense. The Braves regularly score more than 70 points a game and were the highest-scoring team in the Missouri Valley Conference with 74.4 points per game. As a team, the Braves shot 44.4 percent from the field and 32.9 percent from three-point distance. The team's leading scorer was senior Marcellus Sommerville, who averaged 15.4 points per game. He led the team with 53 three-pointers on the season. Bradley has a total of three players who average in double figures: Patrick O'Bryant, Tony Bennett and Lawrence Wright.
DEFENSE:
BU BU BU
Braves Braves Braves
Bradley boasts the Missouri Valley Conference Defensive Player of the Year in sophomore center O'Bryant. O'Bryant led the conference in blocked shots. He enters the NCAA tournament 9th nationally. O'Bryant had 69 blocks on the season, with the next closest MVC player coming in at 21. Senior guardTony Bennett was third in the MVC with two steals per game. Although Bennett led the team in steals, Bradley coach Jim Les said that junior guard J.J.Tauai was the team's best man-to-man defender. Tauai is not much of a threat on offense but starts because of his defensive abilities. Bradley's opponents shot just 39.8 percent from the field, just 2 percent more than Kansas' opponents.
BU BU
Braves Braves
Coach Les might have saved his job this year by compiling a 20-9 record. It was his first winning season at Bradley, and came in his fifth season as coach. Before
COACHES:
this season, Les' record at Bradley was 49-69. Not only is this Les' first NCAA Tournament, it is his first postseason game in his tenure at Bradley. Les played at Bradley and became the 45th coach nationally to play in the NCAA tournament and then lead his alma mater back to the tournament. Even if Les' team loses to Kansas tonight, it will still finish the year with its best winning percentage since the 1995-1996 team, which finished 22-8.
Daniel Berk
BU TIP-OFF
AT A GLANCE:
It's not difficult to find the spot when the Bradley season turned around. On Jan. 11, Bradley lost at home to Wichita State, its third loss in a row. The loss dropped the team to 2-4 in conference and 8-6 overall. After starting four new players the next game against Evansville, the team won 90-62 and then went on to finish the season 12-4.

LAST TIME OUT:
5 QUICK FACTS:
Bradley lost the Missouri Valley title game to Southern Illinois and had to wait and see if it would receive an at-large bid for the NCAA tournament. After waiting a week, the Braves found out they did receive an invitation. In the Southern Illinois game, Bradley took a one-point lead into halftime, but couldn't hold it together in the second half.
2 Final Four appearances in Bradley's school history, in 1950 and 1954.
5 Bradley's position in the Mo. Valley Conference.The team still managed to earn a NCAA tournament bid as an at-large team.
9. 2 - Bradley's steals per game, right behind Kansas' 9.7 steals per game.
13-0 -The team's record this season when Bradley has fewer fouls than its opponent.
14-4 Bradley's record on the season when it out rebounds its opponents.
KEY TO VICTORY:
Keeping Patrick O'Bryant out of foul trouble. Kansas proved last week things are easier for them when the dominant big man is on the opposing bench. Kansas found that out last weekend when it beat Texas and its center LaMarcus Aldridge wasn't in the game because of foul trouble. If the 7-foot O'Bryant is in the game, he will cause as many problems for Sasha Kaun and CJ Giles as Aldridge did. He is a sure-fire NBA player and is extremely talented.

Wichita State shocks East
Sean Ogirri had 23 points and hit six three-point shots to lead Wichita State past Seton Hall of the vaunted Big East 86-66 Thursday in the first round of the Washington regional. This gave the mid-major conference an impressive debut after hearing plenty about its haul of four NCAA tournament bids.
Paul Miller scored 15 points for the seventh-seeded Shockers (25-8). It was their first NCAA tournament game since an 83.
The coach insisted his team — which won the regular-season title, but lost in the league tournament — belonged in the NCAA tournament. He said the Shockers were eager to play a Big East school. He was proven right on both counts

GREENSBORO, N.C. Score an early victory for the Missouri Valley Conference against its critics.
Shockers make it to next round
Wichita State led just about the entire way, getting a strong first half from Ogirri and Miller
The coach insisted his team — which won the regular-season title, but lost in the league tournament — belonged in the NCAA tournament. He said the Shockers were eager to play a Big East school. He was proven right on both counts.
It was Wichita State's first tournament victory in 25 years and provided the MVC a quick bit of vindication after raising eyebrows with four bids, the same as the Atlantic Coast, Big 12 and Pac-10 conferences. The criticism included CBS analyst Billy Packer grilling selection committee chairman Craig Littlepage over the selections, which clearly bothered Wichita State coach Mark Turgeon.
to build a 20-point lead late in the half and lead by 16 at the break.
Miller scored 11 points in the first half, starting the game with a hook shot just nine seconds in. He followed that up by a jumper from the right corner on the next possession. Ogirri, meanwhile, scored 12 points on four three-point shots.
Seton Hall never got closer than 11 in the second half, ending an up-and-down season that saw the Pirates beat Pittsburgh and West Virginia and also lose to Duke by 53 points in November.
Seton Hall tried to rally, pulling to 55-44 on a three-point shot from Donald Copeland with about 12 minutes left. But the Shockers never let the Pirates get the lead below double figures.

KANSAN SENIOR SPORTSWITER
It took just minutes after Kansas' second consecutive first-round exit from the NCAA tournament to shift the focus of the men's basketball team to next season.
Seniors talked to younger members of the team after the loss to Bradley and told them not to forget the feeling of losing.
"We have had this feeling bottled up in us for 365 days, now we got to have the same feeling for 365 more days," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "It makes for a much harder offseason, but we do have a chance to be really good in the future. I really like the future of the team."
The 77-73 loss to Bradley on March 17 might not have been as shocking as the loss to Bucknell the season before. Kansas started three seniors a year ago; this season, Kansas started three freshmen and two sophomores this season.
"It makes you feel terrible just because I am still hoping I am waking up and this is like a dream, but obviously it's not," sophomore guard Russell Robinson said. "It's definitely tough. I am so sorry for the seniors, it was a terrible way to go out. I thought we were a better team."
Self said he understood the early loss would not sit well with Kansas fans. He said he wouldn't classify the season as a good one since the team didn't make a run in the post-season.

He said he didn't want to take away anything from what the team accomplished this season, though. Kansas defeated Texas on March 12 for the Big 12 Tournament title in Dallas.

Tina Blue, KU English lecturer worries about all things English

It's past midnight. She's up reading, grading papers, browsing the information super highway.
Blue
Tina Blue, English lecturer, began teaching at the University of Kansas as a grad student in 1972. She teaches English composition, critical reading and writing and
introduction to poetry. In addition to teaching, Blue devotes much of her time to her Web sites, where she writes articles
about a variety of topics, including education, poetry, writing, grammar and usage, essay-writing and handwriting.
Blue said her Grammar and Usage For The Non-Expert Web site, http://www.grammartips.homestead.com, gets about 3,000 page hits a day and she receives hundreds of fan e-mail each month. Several of her poetry, essay-writing and education articles are included in the handbook used to train new instructors at the University of Regina in Canada. Her views on poetry and penmanship have been quoted in the Kansas City Star, Hartford-Courant and the Tri-City Herald.

Hearing loss changes classroom dynamic for lecturer, students
JEFF DETERS
editor@kansan.com
KANSAN CORRESPONDANT
Tina Blue is unlike most in her profession. Blue suffers from Meniere's disease, a disorder of the inner ear that causes hearing loss and progressively worsens over time. She has hearing aids, but those do little good.
"I tend to focus on talking to the person as a person," Blue said. She said she must pay attention to people in a way that a hearing person does not. She mostly reads lips when others are speaking to her.
Blue's illness has not stopped her from being active, but it has had an effect on how she teaches.
Blue said her deafness creates obstacles, such as when students talk. Because Blue cannot tell where a voice is coming
from, she asks her students to raise their hands before speaking in class. Also to help combat this problem, Blue insists on the traditional seating arrangement rather than having her students sit in a circle.
"I run around the room a lot more than most teachers, I think because I have to stand right next to the student who is speaking," Blue said. Her hearing and close proximity can be difficult for students.
Keyh Fleck, Iowa City, Iowa, junior, a student in Blue's poetry class, said he was frustrated with Blue's hearing and was not used to talking loudly while someone was standing directly in front of him. Adjusting to Blue's style had not affected his ability to learn.
"She's a fun teacher. She still gets our attention and gets the point across," Fleck said.

KJHK to begin webcasting today
Significant damage to KJHK's transmission tower caused by the microburst earlier this month forced the radio station to go off the

According to a University press release, KJHK's antenna will be relocated to the Kansas Public Radio tower on West Campus. KJHK will begin broadcasting via webstream from its Web site beginning Monday.
Andrew Dierks, KJHK General Manager, said he was optimistic that broadcasting would resume at the end of the week.

ACADEMICS Three KU students win Goldwater scholarships
Three KU students won Barry M. Goldwater scholarships, the nation's top undergraduate award for science, engineering and mathematics.
In Canada, Spring Break is known as Reading Week.
Source: wikipedia.org
The KU recipients were: Daniel Hogan, Leawood junior in physics and mathematics; Andrew Olive, Lincoln, Neb., junior in microbiology; and Luis Vargas, Wichita sophomore in physics, astronomy and mathematics.
Laura Stiles, Prairie Village sophomore in engineering physics, received an honorable mention.
A total of 323 recipients were announced last week by the Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship and Excellence in Education Foundation in Springfield, Va.
"We congratulate our newest Goldwater winners for their academic excellence that puts them in the forefront of challenging research in the sciences, mathematics and engineering." Chancellor Robert Hemenway said in a press release.
A total of 41 KU students have received the scholarship since it was first awarded in 1989. Congress started the program in 1986 in honor of the retired United States senator from Arizona.
The award provides up to $7,500 for tuition, fees, books and room and board. Recipients who graduate in 2007 receive one year of support; those who graduate in 2008 receive two years.

"We've rescued Tilley from a life of crime and we hope to rehabilitate her so she can be a contributing dummy to our society" Olson said.
"This is just incredible," Pringle said.
Pringle also was fined $115 and ordered to hold a sign alongside the highway for four hours reading: "HOV lane not for dummies." He was pulled over and ticketed Jan. 26 for driving in the lane reserved for car pools, motorcycles, buses, and hybrid vehicles.
Pringle previously said it cost him $10 to create Tillie.
Olson said the computer tutoring company will take Tillie to various events and
later auction her off again for charity in June.

Student filmmakers' scene taken seriously
Kansan staff reports
FERNANDINA BEACH, Fla.
— A movie set at the downtown post office turned all too real for a group of high school filmmakers.
Members of the high school Spanish club were shooting a movie Thursday night when the police showed up believing a hostage crisis was going on inside the post office.
But apparently, someone saw the teens carrying toy guns into the building on Centre Street, which is the heart of the town's historical district. When they couldn't get an answer to calls
placed inside the building, they assumed the worst.
Police cordoned off the block, cleared nearby buildings and surrounded the post office ready for a hostage crisis. When a group of students left the post office, they were ordered to get on the ground, face down.
Postmaster Ron Steedley had given permission for the school group to use the post office after hours to make a movie, "Rolling Thunder." Steedley said he didn't think the student's movie would frighten anyone.
Devon Menendez, the film's director, said his film career is over.
"I'm not accepting any more offers to direct a movie," he said.

Pride Week hits campus
BY ANNE WELTMER
aweltmer@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Queers and Allies' Pride Week is its 36th annual celebration. The theme plays on Kansas' state song, "Home on the Range," and hopes to address the sometimes harsh environment Kansas provides for its lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender population.
"Kansas doesn't really represent those words sometimes," Jimmie Manning, Queers & Allies Pride Week chair, said about the lyrics and the week's theme, "Where seldom is heard a discouraging word?"
The objective is to question the viability of the lyrics in the song. Manning said.
The western theme was motivated by the Pride Week featured movie, "Brokeback Mountain," and featured speaker Kate Bornstein. Bornstein is a gender "outlaw" because she questions gender and sexuality when others don't always want her to, Manning said.
He said Brokeback Mountain was not just a "gay cowboy movie," but a movie about what straight people could lose if they ignored the LGBT community. That is one thing Queers & Allies wants to stress this week, he said.
Queers & Allies was the first LGBT rights group in the Midwest. Pride Week is meant to raise awareness for that group, and for every individual to, "reflect on and embrace" their own sexuality and gender, Manning said.
New this year are the "Fine by Me" T-shirt giveaway and the Naughty but Nice party at Liquid Wednesday to raise money for Donate Against Hate. The week kicks off with the T-shirt giveaway 10 a.m. Monday in front of Wescoc Hall.

Murder-suicide kills 7 in Seattle
BY JACKSON HOLTZ THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEATTLE — A gunman opened fire early Saturday in a home, killing six partygoers and critically injuring at least one other before committing suicide when confronted by police outdoors.
Five victims' bodies were found in several places in the rented home in the Capitol Hill neighborhood east of downtown, police said. One of three other people taken to a hospital died and the third was in stable condition, a nursing supervisor said.
"It's one of the largest crime scenes the city has ever had," said Police Chief Gil Kerlikowske.
Dozens of rounds were fired in the house, where about 20 people ranging from their early and mid teens to mid-20s had gathered after a larger party nearby in which some of the guests wore makeup "to look
as if they were dead," the chief said.
He said the shooter left the party briefly and returned with a handgun and a 20-gauge pistol-grip shotgun, which Kerlikowske described as "a weapon not designed for hunting purposes but for hunting people."
The gunman, identified only as a local man in his late 20s, also wore bandoliers of shells for the shotgun and carrying additional clips for the handgun, the chief said. In his truck, police found an assault rife and multiple "banana clips" carrying 30 bullets each.
Kerlikowske said the shooter searched through the house for partygoers. When the gunman couldn't get in to an upstairs bathroom where two people had locked themselves in, he fired rounds through the door, the chief said. The people were not injured.
whether drugs or alcohol were a factor, though Kerlikowske said marijuana and alcohol were found in the house.
Officers said they were not aware of a possible motive. Police said they did not know
Kerlikowske said an officer in the neighborhood heard shots fired at just after 7 a.m. When Officer Steve Leonard reached the scene, he found one person staggering out of the house with a gunshot wound.
The officer confronted another man who emerged with a shotgun, telling him to put the weapon down, Kerlikowske said. The man turned the gun on himself and fired a fatal shot, he said.
William Lowe, 59, who lives across the street, said he heard six shots shortly after his alarm went off. He looked out in time to see people scattering from the home, some with faces painted and hair dived.
Lowe said he saw the man with the shotgun put the barrel in his mouth and fire.

"If I didn't expect there to be fallout when you don't perform well, I shouldn't have taken the job," Self said. "One thing they should be is they should be proud of this team. If they are not proud of this team they are not Kansas fans."
Other younger players on the team said they felt bad for the seniors, but chose to use the loss as fuel for next season.
"I am really hurt for them more than myself," sophomore center CJ Giles said of the seniors. "I can just use this as motivation and work harder this summer."
The Jayhawks will return their top seven scorers next season and already have commitments from a McDonald's All-American, Chicago's Sherron Collins.
"We want to remember this for this unit, this year and remember this feeling and just
prepare twice as hard," freshman forward Julian Wright said. "It starts with conditioning, weights, individual improvement, everything that helps the team."
Freshman guard Brandon Rush, who was visibly distraught, announced that he would return to Kansas for his sophomore season. Rush lead the team in scoring with 13.5 points.
"I was still undecided at the time of the game and once the game is over I am for sure coming back next year," Rush said. "It's best for the whole team to come back next year and be strong."
Kansas will still be a young team next year, but will be more experienced because freshmen and sophomores played the majority of the team's minutes this season.
"The good thing is these guys have a chance to come back next year and try to make amends, as much as we can," Self said.
Self said that he would still
sit down with Rush in the coming weeks to discuss the possibility of him coming back this year. Rush said that he couldn't walk out on his teammates after this year.
"It's kind of sad that we don't have any more basketball left and we just have school to deal with for the rest of the year," Rush said. "That's kind of sad for me because I don't like school."
Self will continue to recruit during the offseason. He said he was primarily looking for another post player or another guard. Kansas is a finalist for high school senior power forward Darrell Arthur. The Dallas native is the top rated player who hasn't committed to a college. He is rated the 19th best high school prospect in the nation, according to rivals.com's Top 150.
"We will still be very young next year, but we will be a more veteran team," Self said.

So when Richard Schlesinger, longtime correspondent for 48 Hours and the CBS Evening News, began his research for a story on penmanship, he came across Blue's name and interviewed her over the phone in November.
Schlesinger and a CBS crew came to campus on Feb. 22, and filmed one of Blue's poetry classes. Schlesinger's piece featuring Blue is scheduled to air tonight on the CBS Evening News at 5:30 p.m.
"I'm too old to be in college, but I loved watching her teach. She has an enthusiasm for the subject that draws everyone in." Schlesinger said.
Blue is well-known for having her students write in-class essays. Over the years Blue has seen many essays that were good, bad, ugly and even unreadable. So how are students' penmanship these days?
"Bad. Terrible." Blue said. She blamed it on students' lack
of practice." They don't get graded on penmanship. The schools don't have time."
In the on-going debate about education, Blue said that learning good penmanship doesn't rank with subjects such as history, math and science.
Blue suggested children should start writing early and use the D'Nealian handwriting system, which is a script that is used to make it easier to connect cursive letters. She also suggested that schools should grade on penmanship.
Blue said the English department does not advocate lowering grades for sloppy handwriting, but teachers reserve the right to reject illegible work.
Blue does not lower grades because of bad handwriting, but always keeps a magnifying glass handy for the miniscule print.
"I just fret over it when I can't read students' writing. And since I have them do so much in-class writing, it can be a problem." Blue said.
If students' handwriting doesn't improve, or gets even
worse. Blue said she would continue having her students write in-class essays because they are an important part of learning to write well. Blue discussed the dwindling art of handwriting during her on-camera interview with Schlesinger, who was quite impressed.
"Interviewing her was a blast. She makes her points with a sense of humor and the clarity of someone who is completely comfortable with the subject matter and with her self," Schlesinger said.
Through it all, Blue seemed at ease and unaffected by the CBS hoopla.
"I don't get nervous about such things. When I am teaching, I am totally focused on teaching. When I teach poetry, students' eyes light up and they obviously really, really enjoy it. When I am talking about a subject I am interested in, I am so totally focused on my subject that I almost forget where I am," Blue said.

Demonstrators rally for immigration reform Sunday outside the Statehouse in Columbus, Ohio
Senate mulling over future of immigrants
BY NEDRA PICKLER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Founded by immigrants and praised as a haven for the oppressed, the United States now is struggling to decide the fate of as many as 12 million people living in the country illegally.
The Senate takes up the emotional debate on the heels of weekend rallies that drew hundreds of thousands of people protesting attempts to toughen laws against immigrants. Among the ideas that President Bush and members of Congress are considering:
Erecting a fence on the Mexico border to deter illegal immigration.
the country legally as custodians, dish washers, construction workers and other lowpaid employees.
Allowing foreigners to stay in
Treating people who sneak across the border as feiors to be deported.
- Allowing those working in the U.S. a path to citizenship.
Requiring them to get in line behind everyone else back in their home countries who want to become Americans.
On Monday, the Senate Judiciary Committee takes up the issue and Bush headlines a naturalization ceremony for 30 new citizens at Constitution Hall. Demonstrations are planned near the Capitol, including a prayer service with immigration advocates and clergy who plan to wear handeuffs to demonstrate the criminalization of immigration violations.
Rice said Sunday it's important that Mexico "recognize the importance of defense of the borders and of American laws."
Bush is going to Mexico this week for a meeting with the leaders of Mexico and Canada. Secretary of State Condoleezza
Protests raged across the country over the weekend, led by more than 500,000 people who marched through downtown Los Angeles on Saturday in one of the largest demonstrations for any cause in recent U.S. history. Marchers also took to the streets in Phoenix, Milwaukee, Dallas and Columbus, Ohio.
The president, working hand-in-hand with the business community that relies on cheap labor, is pressuring Congress to allow immigrants to stay in the country legally if they take a job that Americans are unwilling to do.
Judiciary Chairman Arlen Specter, R-Pa., also supports the idea and has vowed that his committee will advance a bill to the full Senate on Monday, even if they have to work "very, very late into the night."

Members of election commission empty a ballot box at a polling station in Kiev, Ukraine, Monday. The Central Election Commission said the count came from precincts abroad and put Our Ukraine ahead with 36.6 percent, followed by former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko's bloc with 22.72 percent and pro-Russian opposition leader Viktor Yanukovych's party with 14.2 percent.
Ukrainian vote rocks country
BY MARA D. BELLABY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KIEV, Ukraine — A pro-Russia party won the largest chunk of votes in Ukraine's parliamentary elections Sunday, nationwide exit polls indicated, dealing a stinging rebuke to President Viktor Yushchenko's West-leaning administration.
Polling stations shut after 15 hours, but voters who had waited in long lines and managed to get inside before the official closing time were allowed to cast ballots, choosing from more than 45 parties that sought seats in the 450-member parliament.
Viktor Yanukovych, a pro-
moscow opposition leader who lost to Yushchenko in the 2004 presidential election forced by the Orange Revolution street protests, declared his party the winner on Sunday.
"The Party of the Regions has won a convincing victory," Yanukovych said after three exit polls put his party in a comfortable first place. "We are ready to undertake responsibility for forming the Cabinet and we are calling on everyone to join us."
The polls gave Yanukovych's party anywhere from 27.5 percent to 33 percent, followed by Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko's bloc with about 23 percent, and Yushchenko's Our Ukraine
bloc with between 14. percent and 16 percent.
Yushchenko's job was not at stake, but the vote was the first since constitutional reforms trimmed presidential powers and gave broader authority to parliament, including the right to name the prime minister and much of the Cabinet.
There were also indications Yushchenko and Tymoshenko, the flamboyant heroine of the Orange Revolution's protests, might be willing to try to patch over their differences so they could form a governing coalition.
Yushchenko also seemed to hint he might even consider
working with Yanukovych.
The president's party has suffered from disillusionment over a sharp economic slowdown and the infighting among former Orange revolution allies. But Yushchenko insisted voting ended that no matter how his party did, the election was still a victory because it was the most democratic election ever held in Ukraine.
"I feel great. It's the kind of feeling you have before a victory," said Yushchenko, who wore an orange tie and stood beside his Chicago-born wife, Kathy, as he voted at Kiev's Independence Square. "Demonocratic elections always mean victory."

EU imposes ban on many African airlines

The Antonov flying valuable tin ore and two passengers out of the war-battered region made the trip safely that day. But many others don't. The European Union banned 92 airlines Wednesday from its airspace, citing safety concerns. Most of the airlines are from Africa, where planes are six times likelier to crash than elsewhere and travelers swap tales of crises averted.

In Nigeria late last year, two planes flying domestic routes crashed within seven weeks of each other killing 224 people, including dozens of schoolchildren heading home for Christmas holidays. The causes of those crashes have not been determined, but Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo has referred to an intelligence report detailing safety problems involving Nigerian airlines, including planes experiencing landing gear trouble.
In December, Obasanjo blamed corruption for some of the troubles in his country's aviation industry and called in international experts for a safety review.

Even many of Africa's larger airlines fly secondhand aircraft purchased from overseas.
"You've got the general problem of poverty and lack of government capacity. In Africa, everyone is encouraged to privatize, but there is a very important role of the state strengthening oversight and regulatory mechanisms as you open up the economy," says Princeton Lyman, a former U.S. ambassador to Nigeria, currently a Council on Foreign Affairs fellow.

Students must manage money to avoid debt
Unfortunately, many students don't have solid "money sense" or know how to curb excessive spending. Along with the cost of education, bad spending habits can propel a student into a seemingly insurmountable hole of debt. This not only endangers the student, but society at large.
Textbooks, rent, car payments, a night or two at the bars each week; the sources of student spending are limitless, ranging from the necessary to the superfluous. Good spending is a valuable skill for anyone, but especially for students who are usually on fixed incomes.
If a student only pays the minimum payment on a credit
A survey at Iowa State University found that the average student had three credit cards with a total debt of $1,000. Most students said it didn't feel like real money was being spent when a credit card was used. In another study, 40 percent of students aged 16 to 22 would buy a new pair of jeans or a similar item even if they did not have the money for it and 22 percent said they would use a credit card for the purchase.
Issue: Students' spending habits
Stance: Students must keep a tight rein on their finances to avoid years of debt in the future.
Everyone should be able to have a good time in college. The key is to not have to pay for it in the future, literally.
Such a poor sense of money and a lack of financial literacy indicates that students need to take better care of their bank accounts. Students can learn numerous practices to become or remain financially healthy and to stay that way, from understanding income and keeping good financial records to making sure to pay bills on time and maintaining a good credit history. Financial advising services are available in Lawrence and students should take advantage of them if necessary.

You can help end genocide; encourage divestment
Jennifer Weaver, sales and marketing adviser 864-7665 or jweaver@kansan.com
COMMENTARY
About a month ago, I wrote a column on the genocide in Darfur, Sudan. The government of this desert-filled African nation has helped fund the murder, displacement and rape of thousands of its own citizens during the last three years.
from Sudan in response to the genocide in Darfur. KU is not one of those universities.
This semester, the leaders of the student organizations FIGHT (Fighting Ignorance of Global Humanitarian Threats), KU for Uganda and KU UNICEF are starting a drive to pressure the University to divest from all corporations doing business in Sudan.
The first step involves the University's involvement with TIAA-CREF, an organization that handles the University's pension funds. TIAA-CREF invests in several corporations that do business in Sudan.
It may seem impossible for someone in Lawrence to do anything about this. However, there is one way that even college students can push for an end to the horrors of Darfur: Divestment, or the selling of investments for non-financial reasons. Divestment is a complicated process, so follow closely.
In 2001, TIAA-CREF's divestment from Talisman Energy pressured the corporation to withdraw from Sudan. The divestment drive on campus wants to pressure the University to investigate its investments through TIAA-CREF as well as investments through endowment funds in order to find any way the University might be indirectly funding the genocide in Sudan.
To help with the divestment push, talk to students, professors and university employees about divestment from Sudan to build awareness of the issue. Write Chancellor Hemenway to tell him you'd like the University to investigate its investments and divest from any investments in Sudan.

Few things are more powerful than money. Pulling money out from under companies that are funding genocide can save lives.
According to the Genocide Intervention Fund, a large portion of the Sudanese government's revenue comes from corporations doing business in Sudan — especially companies drilling for oil, which is an abundant resource in Sudan.
President Clinton barred U.S. businesses from operating in Sudan in 1997 because of the country's ties to Al Qaeda. However, multinational corporations are allowed to do business in Sudan and they can also be publicly traded on stock markets in the United States.
Thus, many American institutions, such as state governments, universities and pension funds, can invest money in companies that drill for oil or
Because the Sudanese government has used much of its revenue to purchase military equipment and weapons and to fund the Janjaweed militia that is responsible for the genocide in Darfur, companies doing business in Sudan are indirectly funding genocide.
Erickson is an Olathe freshman in journalism and political science.
For instance, the divestment of many governments and universities from corporations operating in South Africa during the 1980s helped create pressure to end apartheid and to establish democracy there.
If these institutions would divest from corporations operating in Sudan by pulling their money and financial support out of them, these corporations would be strongly encouraged to stop doing business in Sudan. Without investors, the businesses cannot function.
By taking away revenue, divestment can help to financially punish the Sudanese government for their policy of genocide. Also, divestment and pushes for divestment can demonstrate the desire of citizens and companies to stop the evils of genocide.
At least four universities nationwide, as well as three state governments, have divested

COMMENTARY
Last year, curiosity killed the squirrel when one ventured into a transformer on 19th Street and started a fire. The resulting power outage affected 4,000 people. Parts of the KU campus lost power, and for many, life ceased to function. Campus stores were closed, some classes were cancelled temporarily and people sat around in the dark with perplexed expressions. Who knew squirrels could have such an impact?
Occurrences like these serve to remind us of our increasing reliance on technology. The technologies that once were simply tools which made life easier, have become tools almost vital to our existence. Entire bodies of documents and records are stored in computers that seem to be about as reliable as miracle diet pills. There is not one reported case of a typewriter being infected with five different viruses that render it completely paralyzed, but typewriters were slow and not nearly as fancy as a flat-screen computer with an Intel Pentium 4 processor.

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
LINCOLN, Neb. — After losing two games in a row to No. 2 Nebraska on Saturday, Ritch Price decided to make a change to the Kansas baseball lineup.
"He provided me with an opportunity and I capitalized on it and came up with some big hits." Simpson said. "People in front of me and behind me did a great job of getting on base, giving me the opportunity to step up."
Before Kansas won on Sunday, the streak was at 21 games.
The Kansas coach moved sophomore outfielder Brock Simpson to right field and also moved him to the leadoff spot for Sunday's 7-6 victory against Nebraska (17-3, 2-1 Big 12).
Simpson responded. He led the offensive attack, going 4-of-5 with three singles and a triple to help the Jayhawks stop the 'Huskers win streak at Haymarket Park.
Kansas (17-10, 2-4 Big 12) exploded for its biggest lead of the series when it put up three runs in the top of the third inning. A Simpson triple kicked off this lead. Senior shortstop Ritchie Price followed up with an BRI single.
"We've let Kody down the last couple of weeks. He's been pitching awesome, but we haven't been giving him any run support," Ritchie Price said of senior pitcher Kodiak Quick. "So I was just happy we were able to score some runs while he was on the mound today."
"We had some guys really clutch up with some big two-out hits to put some crooked numbers on the board, but he's an exceptional young man," Price said of
After Saturday's losses, Price said his team would have its hands full again on Sunday with Nebraska starting pitcher Johnny Dorn (5-2). At the same time, Nebraska coach Mike Anderson regarded Quick (4-2) as the best pitcher on the Kansas staff.
For the first time in the series, Kansas retaliated. For the third time on Sunday, Simpson had a hand in it.
Dorn, who surrendered six runs,
twing a career worst.
Nebraska would see to it that this particular lead was short lived. In the bottom of the third inning, the 'Huskers tallied three runs of their own. Nebraska first baseman Brandon Buckman highlighted the inning, homering to right field. The solo blast into the wind was the first home run Quick has allowed this season.
Two walks and a base hit later, junior Nick Jaros was called upon to pinch hit. Jaros saw just one pitch before tagging a single to centerfield, which scored a pair of runs.
As Nebraska right fielder Luke Gorsett booted around a Simpson single, freshman first baseman Preston Land scored to tie the game at four in the fourth inning.

KANSAN SENIOR SWITTERWRI
Kansas 59 Northern Iowa 49
Kansas scored its first postseason victory in seven years with a victory against Northern Iowa in the preliminary round of the WNIT on March 16 at Allen Fieldhouse.
Despite facing UNI's 6-foot-7 forward Cassie Hager, it was Kansas' play in the post that was key in the victory. Senior forward Crystal Kemp scored a game-high 18 points and grabbed 11 rebounds. While strong play from Kemp was expected, the unexpected scoring came off the bench from freshman forward Marija Zinic. Zinic was one shy of a career-high, scoring 13 points on 50 percent shooting from the floor.
UNI's defense against Kemp enabled Zinic to get numerous looks at the basket.
"They doubled Crystal the whole time," Zinic said. "Basically, I was wide open. I was just trying to find a way to make the wide open shots."
Senior guard Erica Hallman said Kansas coach Bonnie Hendrickson told the team in a time-out that it must find a way to end the UNI run.
Kansas' defense, which struggled during the conference season, stepped up in the postseason. The Jayhawks held the Panthers scoreless for an eight-minute stretch in the second half. UNI's 49 points was the second lowest point total allowed this season by Kansas.
In previous games, opponents had used a zone defense to shut down UNI's Hager. Instead, Hendrickson decided to have Kemp match up one-on-one against Hager. Kemp held Hager to 11 points on 4-of-14 shooting from the field.
"She told us to take the fight out of them when it was 41-41 and we just didn't look back," Hallman said. "We got stops and went down to the other end and scored."

For next season's women's basketball team to repeat this season's success, which included a victory in the WNIT, it will have to rely on some new faces.

Catic was the team's only true point guard, finishing the season with an average of five assists per game. She averaged 30 minutes a game, which will make her the most experienced player on next season's roster.
Among the returning players, sophomore forward Taylor McIntosh and freshman guard Ivana Catic were the only two that were regularly in the starting lineup during the season.

McIntosh's play was inconsistent. She had four games in which she scored in double-digits, but also three games where she did not score. Next season, she will have to adjust to having more defensive pressure, because opponents will not have to worry about
Joining McIntosh inside will be freshman forward Marija Zinic.
Zinic started the season slowly but finished strong, and logged 31 minutes and a teamhigh 17 points in a WNIT loss to Mississippi.
Her progress came as she became more familiar with the English language. Zinic is originally from Serbia and Montenegro and had never set foot in the United States until a few weeks before the season. Next season she will be able to attend fall practices without having to worry about a language barrier.
At the guard position, Catic will take one of the starting spots, and the favorites to fill the other two positions will be junior guards Shaquina Mosley and Sharita Smith.
"Shaq," she came to Kansas as the National Junior College Player of the Year, but cracked the starting lineup only three times, and was suspended for two games in the middle of February.
It won't be impossible for the Jayhawks to repeat the success of this season, but with 12 freshmen and sophomores on the team, there will be an adjustment period as the players learn their new roles.
Her athletic skill will have to be combined with an ability to run the offense and play in the jayhawks' defensive system.

THE COLUMN
Seniors you're leaving too soon
You can imagine what it must be like to be a senior at the University of Kansas right now. As students return from their final spring break, they find the last eight weeks of school and emotions racing rapidly through one's mind and changing from minute to minute.
JIMMY CHAVEZ
jchavez@kansan.com
What also is prevalent is the fact that Kansas bowed out in the first round of the NCAA tournament for the second year in a row. This year's senior class will not have the opportunity to enjoy the feelings that come with the Jayhawks making a run at the Final Four.
?
This year's senior class was the last group of students at Kansas the last time the Jayhawks advanced to the Final Four. In 2003, Kansas played for the National Championship, before wilting under the pressure of a "Carmelo-ized" Syracuse team, aided by the sharp shooting of freshman Gerry McNamara.
Nevertheless, many seniors must want to stay one more year. Then again, they also look at the calendar and begin the countdown to May 21.
This team could be ranked No. 1 in October. The signs and pieces are there for the team to, come next April in Atlanta's Georgia Dome, enjoy the sweet taste of a championship, sweeter than any Georgia peach.
Bill Self took a team of mostly freshmen and sophomores and led them to 25 victories, along with both the Big 12 regular season and tournament championships. This was done while some fans were grumbling about the team being more likely to end up in the dreaded NIT. When you think of that now, it's comical. You see the dilemma now.
Two reasons why one would want to stay?
Then those graduating in a couple of months will know they left a year too soon. Next year's senior class, and everyone else for that matter, may get that title run that invoke memories of the scenes in Lawrence in 2002 and 2003.
But that's all just food for thought now, especially as senioritis really starts to set in.
First, getting a job can be as suspenseful as any national championship game.
Second, the only thing apparent about this year's first round exit was that it wasn't like last year against Bucknell.
This year's loss to Bradley was a loss that shouldn't shock many. Bradley, a mid-major from an up-and-coming conference, proved themselves worthy when they beat a very talented Pittsburgh team in the second round. It's a shame, because despite the Braves' domination in Detroit, Kansas fans have to take a strong look at what took place this year.
That loss was nothing short of shocking and resembled a punch in the gut, or perhaps a kick in other regions.

MEN'S BASKETBALL
Mizzou hires new coach
BY ALAN SCHER ZAIGER
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLUMBIA, Mo. — The University of Missouri on Sunday named Mike Anderson as its new men's basketball coach — at the same time that campus leaders were meeting to consider the future of the athletic director responsible for that hire.
Anderson, the current coach of Alabama-Birmingham, steps into a program embroiled in controversy, much of it centered on athletic director Mike Alden, who has been criticized for the handling of former coach Quin Snyder's resignation last season.
After Sunday's curators meeting, spokesman Joe Moore said no vote was taken and Alden was still on the job.
Asked if Alden is still the athletic director, Missouri-Columbia chancellor Brady Deaton said, "Yes he is." He declined further comment.
In a news release announcing Anderson's hiring, the new coach said Alden had convinced him to come to Missouri.
"Mike Alden really sold me on Missouri as a whole," Anderson said. "The fan support, the academic opportunities and of course the tremendous facilities. These aspects will allow us to attract the types of student-athletes we need to be successful. Our goal is to win a national championship and that's why we are at Missouri."
Anderson would be the first permanent black head coach in a major sport at Missouri. He is a former assistant to Nolan Richardson at Arkansas and played for Richardson at Tulsa.
As head coach at UAB for four years, Anderson had an 89-41 record with three NCAA Tournament appearances. UAB was 24-9 this season and lost to Kentucky 69-64 in the first round of the tournament.

Nebraska reigns over Kansas in Saturday games
LINCOLN, Neb.
Saturday — Game 1 — Nebraska 9, Kansas 2
Before No. 2 Nebraska (16-2, 2-0) recorded its first out of the game, Nebraska rightfielder Luke Gorsett hit the team's first grand slam of 2008 and his ninth home run of the season.
Junior left-hander Sean Land threw 50 pitches but didn't grab an out in the second inning of the 9-2 loss.
Nebraska centerfielder Bryce Nimmo singled up the middle twice in the first inning alone. He went on to record the first four-hit game of his career.
Five consecutive "Husker hitters reached base before Land (4-4) forced a fly out by Nebraska designated hitter Andy Gernch. That fly ball moved Nebraska first baseman Brandon Buckman to third, giving Nebraska catcher Jeff Christy the chance to squeeze bunt him in.
Hitting in the fifth spot in the lineup, John Allman collected three of the offense's seven hits and scored both runs.
Nimmo's second base hit of the inning scored Christy and drove in the sixth run of an inning that would have beat the Kansas offense by itself.
The top half of the Kansas lineup did not get on base for enough for Allman to drive them in. This part of the lineup went 0-for-14 at the plate.
Saturday — Game 2 — Nebraska 4, Kansas 1
Back-to-back hits and a walk loaded the bases for Nebraska in the fourth inning. Senior right-hander Ricky Fairchild worked himself into an iam.
Three consecutive strikes later, he worked himself out of it.
"I was hoping that would swing the momentum in our favor," Fairchild said. It didn't
One out into the seventh inning, Nebraska centerfielder Bryce Nimmo took off for second base.
Gunning for the out, junior catcher Dylan Parzyk threw to second base, but the ball slipped through to centerfield, allowing Nimmo to get to third base.
Junior centerfielder Kyle Murphy then tried to lay out and make a diving catch, but couldn't come up with it. Nebraska took a 2-1 lead and never looked back. What seemed to be a Kansas turnaround fell flat after Nebraska lead mounted to 4-1.

KANSAN SPORTSWRITER
LINCOLN, Neb. — Facing three of the top starting pitchers and one of the best closers in the nation, Kansas pitchers had the opportunity to gain national recognition against Nebraska.
Nebraska pitchers had the early edge. They rolled along on Saturday like the railroad cars that could be seen just beyond the right field fence.
After missing two starts because of tightness in his tricep, preseason All-American Joba Chamberlain was perfect going into the fourth inning for Nebraska. His bid for a perfect game ended when he hit senior first baseman Jared Schweitzer with a pitch. In 6.1 innings pitched, Chamberlain allowed only one run on five hits, allowed one walk and struck out six.
Sophomore outfielder John Allman was the only Jayhawk who had significant success in game one, going 3-for-4 with a home run. Before Allman's home run, Chamberlain had a no hitter and a shutout.
Opposite Chamberlain was junior pitcher Sean Land, who didn't fair as well playing against a nationally recognized team. Land was pulled after pitching only one inning and giving up a grand slam.
In game two, 2005 Collegiate Baseball Freshman All-American Tony Watson squared off against senior pitcher Ricky Fairchild. Both starters pitched more effectively than their game one counterparts, but a stagnant Kansas offense let a stellar Fairchild start go to waste.
Kansas managed just one run on three hits in seven innings off Watson before preseason All-American Brett Jensen came in to pitch two perfect innings. Watson and Jensen kept Jayhawk hitters off balance all game, combining for 12 strikeouts.
Against an offense that just finished scoring nine runs earlier in the day, Fairchild held Nebraska to three runs. With just one run of support, though, he was given the loss.
"I had real good control of all four of my pitches and I just kept mixing them up, keeping them off balance," Fairchild said.
On Sunday, Second-team preseason All-American Johnny Dorn got the start for Nebraska and senior pitcher Kodiak Quick came in with the lowest ERA among Kansas starters.
After two innings, both pitchers
looked to be on top of their games, but a shuffled Kansas offense still wasn't producing. That all changed when the third inning came around.
Kansas and Nebraska scored three runs in the third inning and combined for 12 runs in the last seven innings. Neither starter made it out of the sixth inning.
It was the first time Quick gave up at least four runs since his Feb. 12 start at Stanford, but with the help of his offense, he earned the victory.
"I don't have my best outing and the team picks me up, that's awesome," Quick said.
With Kansas up two runs, Nebraska brought in Jensen to keep the deficit from getting any bigger. At the same time, with the Jayhawks six outs away from taking the final game of the series, senior closer Don Cczyz entered the game to seal the victory.
Jensen was perfect again in two innings of work. The Cornhuskers scored a run on Czyz in the eighth to pull within one, but Czyz came away with the save.
"You can't lose three to these guys," Czyz said.

"I don't know what it was, but I was up there and relaxed," Simpson said. "The ball looked like a grapefruit coming in there."
A two-out Morrison error allowed Nebraska to score in the bottom of the fifth, but its effect was minimal.
The Jayhawk offense had finally clicked. Kansas outshit Nebraska for the first time all weekend on Sunday, 12-11.
Nebraska lefty Jared Cranston finished the inning. With three hits to his credit, Simpson singled again, driving in sophomore outfielder Allman.
Dorn surrendered a pair of hits that would chase him from the game and pave the way for the Jayhawks' second three-run inning of the game.
Down with a 1-2 count, Price was next up and guessed a fastball was coming.
He guessed correctly and sent a ball to the left field corner to score Simpson from first.
At this point, Quick's 119 pitches were enough.
Junior right hander Brendan McNamara stepped in for Quick in the sixth and did not allow a run or a hit in two innings of work.
Nearing the end of the weekend, the blanketed and bundled fans were treated to quite a show as Nebraska closer Brett Jensen and senior Don Czyz entered the game in the eighth inning.
Czyz had two runs to work with since Kansas was up 7-5. Despite allowing a run in the eighth, Czyz walked away with his ninth save of the season.
"You know you can't pitch without any runs behind you," Czyz said. "Our hitters did a great job of sticking to the plan because it all about Sunday — getting that win on Sunday."
Game Notes:
- Morrison was back at third base on Sunday after missing Saturday's doubleheader due to illness. His absence on Saturday left Kansas with three starting players out of the lineup.
- An estimated 1,000 hours of labor was needed to get the field ready to play on Saturday. Sixteen volunteers reportedly helped shovel snow during the field preparation.
The 2001 season was the last time the Kansas vs. Nebraska series was not forced to play a doubleheader due to inclement weather.

Top 5 moments of the Kansas men's basketball season
BY DANIEL BERK
dberk@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR SPORTSWIFTBLEU
Despite bowing out in the first round of the NCAA tournament to Bradley, Kansas still had some highlights from the season. Here are the top five moments from the 2005-2006 season:
1. Kansas' 80-68 victory against Texas in the championship game of the Big 12 Tournament. Freshman guard Mario Chalmers capped his weekend of stellar play with 15 points and six assists and after the game was named Most Outstanding Player of the tournament. Senior guard Jeff Hawkins also had one of his best games of the season, scoring 13 points on 4-of-5 shooting from three-point distance. He also dished out five assists. It was the first time in Kansas coach Bill Self's tenure in Lawrence that he was able to cut down the nets. Freshman forward Julian Wright was also named to the All-Tournament team. Wright had 12 points and seven rebounds in the game. Wright also had a dunk that made it on nearly every sports highlight show in the country that night when he connected on a 360-spin dunk late in the game to seal the victory.
2. Kansas' 59-58 victory over Oklahoma in Allen Fieldhouse. Kansas trailed by as many as 16 points in the game, but Chalmers hit the game-winning shot with 20 seconds remaining to secure the KU victory. Wright also had a solid outing scoring 14 points and grabbing eight boards. He also had a dazzling no look pass to freshman guard Brandon Rush in the first half. Rush had a team-high 18 points and hit two crucial three-pointers in the second half to help the comeback.
3. Rush and Self garnering postseason accolades from the Big 12 Conference. Rush was named Big 12 Freshman of the Year by the league's coaches and was named First Team All-Big 12 by the coaches as well. Rush finished the season averaging 13.5 points per game, which led the team. Rush was also named a Freshman All-American by the Sporting News. Self was named Big 12 Coach of the Year by the league's coaches and the league's media. Self led the resurrection of a team that started 3-4, but then went 22-4 the remainder of the season.
4. Kansas continued its domination of Kansas State at Bramlage Coliseum. The Jayhawks won their 23rd straight game played in Manhattan and improved to a perfect 18-0 at Bramlage Coliseum. The victory was sweet for another reason as well because it clinched at least a share of the Big 12 Championship for Kansas. The Jayhawks led by 15 at halftime, but the Wildcats clawed back and made it a close game in the second half. Kansas managed to hold on and secure the victory. Rush led the team with 24 points and six rebounds. He scored 16 of his 24 points in the second half, going 6-of-10 from the field and playing all 20 minutes in the frame. It would also mark Kansas State former coach Jim Wooldridge's last game at home as he would be fired a week later during the Big 12 Tournament.
5. Kansas' sweet redemption against Missouri After losing to Missouri by three points in overtime in Columbia, Mo., Kansas rebounded and beat its rival 79-46 in Alen Fieldhouse. Kansas played like it was playing with a chip on its shoulder, breaking out to an early 24-6 lead against Missouri. It was a lead the team would not let up again the rest of the game. Kansas had three players score in double figures with Chalmers leading the way with 14 points. Rush had 13 while Robinson contributed 10 points. Kansas shot 52 percent from the field and held Missouri to just 31 percent shooting. Kansas shot 10-of-22 from three-point distance to secure the victory.

KANSAN SENIOR SPORTWRITER
The 2005-2006 season for the Kansas Jayhawks ended in the first round of the NCAA tournament. Losing to Bradley was not the only disappointing moment of the season. Here are the top five most disappointing moments of the season:
1. Kansas' 77-73 loss to Bradley. A year after losing to Bucknell in the first round of the tournament, Kansas did it again, this time to Bradley. The Jayhawks struggled to take care of the ball, committing 18 turnovers. Big 12 Freshman of the Year Brandon Rush was held to just nine points on 4-for-14 from the field. Freshman guard Mario Chalmers and sophomore guard Russell Robinson each turned the ball over five times. Bradley led Kansas by as many as 14 points in the second half. Kansas cut the lead to as few as two points but could not get over the hump. Bradley was led by senior Marcellus Summerville who had 21 points.
2. Kansas' 59-55 loss to Kansas State in Allen Fieldhouse. Coming in the game, Kansas had a 21-game winning streak against Kansas State, but fell apart late and Kansas State came away with a victory. Kansas led by as many as 12 points in the second half, but Kansas State continued to chip away at the lead. Kansas State's comeback came because the team was able to take care of the ball. After turning the ball over 15 times in the first half, Kansas State had just four turnovers in the second half. Kansas State shot 9-for-18 from three-point distance and was led by Clent Stewart, who had 15 points. Chalmers led Kansas with 20 points.
3. Kansas' 89-86 overtime loss at Missouri. This loss came just two days after the Kansas State loss. Again, Kansas held a second half lead but could not hold on. The story of this game was Missouri junior guard Thomas Gardner, who had 40 points. Gardner hit a number of off-balanced three-point shots in the second half to keep Missouri in the game. In all, he was 7-for-14 from three-point range and 13-for-22 overall. Kansas had an opportunity to win the game when senior forward Christian Moody stepped to the line for two free throws at the end of regulation, but missed them both. Missouri took the game to overtime and eventually came away victorious.
4. Kansas' 72-70 loss to Nevada in Allen Fieldhouse. This game came a week after Kansas' disappointing showing in the Maui Invitational, in which it lost two of three games. Nevada was in control for the majority of the game and rode the hot hand of forward Nick Fazekas. Fazekas had 35 points and eight rebounds and hit two clutch three-point shots in the second half to keep Nevada out in front. Former freshman forward Micah Downs hit a three-point shot with 17 seconds left to pull Kansas within a point, but Kansas could not catch Nevada. It was just the ninth home loss in the past 11 seasons for Kansas.
5. Kansas' 80-55 loss at Texas. Kansas came into this game as one of the hottest teams in the country and Texas came into it struggling. No one told Texas that, as it rode the hot three-point shooting of freshman guard A.J. Abrams and the superior inside play of sophomore LaMarcus Aldridge. Abrams was 4-for-5 from three-point range in the first half and Aldridge was 9-for-10 from the field and scored 18 points. ESPN's College Gameday was there for the game, creating some extra hype for the game. Kansas coach Bill Self admitted later in the season that some of the extra hype got to the young team before the game. Rush was held to just three points.
Honorable mention: Kansas' 70-67 loss to St. Josephs, Kansas' disappointing 1-2 mark at the Maui Invitational and freshman forward Micah Downs transferal from the University in the middle of the season.

Recap
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
Mississippi 78 Kansas 76
Hallman's potential gamewinning three-pointer sailed wide as time expired, ending Kansas' season with a loss to Mississippi in the first round of the WNIT.
It appeared Kansas was on its way to a second straight victory in the WNIT. The Jayhawks led by five at halftime and extended their lead to 16 thanks to a 13-2 run in the opening six minutes of the second half.
Kansas' offense looked as it did during the team's record start to the season. Layups and three-pointers in transition, along with strong post defense, helped Kansas hold Mississippi scoreless for more than five minutes early in the second half. Zinic came off the bench and scored three consecutive baskets, including two off offensive rebounds during the run.
After that, the game belonged to Mississippi guard Armintie Price.
Price scored 19 points in the game's final 13 minutes as the Rebels went on a 42-24 run to close the game.
"I thought we played very well for 30 minutes and then we lost focus and intensity." Henrickson said. "This time of year we can't make excuses, you have to have answers."
Kansas had no answer for Price late in the second half. She was able to drive and slice her way through the Kansas defense for a game-high 31 points. On two plays, Price got a steal and drove the length of the floor for an easy layup. In the end, Price's athleticism and ability to get to the rim was the difference.
"We didn't have an answer for how hard they came at us off the dribble." Henrickson said.
Kansas was able to stay in the game early despite senior forward Crystal Kemp failing to score in the first half for the first time this season. Kemp only had two touches in the paint because of a strong double team from Mississippi's Shawn Goff and Ashley Awkward. The guard and forward combined to hold Kemp scoreless from the field until Kemp's layup with 13:06 remaining in the game.

TENNIS
Team enjoys new digs
BY Eric Jorgensen
ejorgensen@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Closer facility helps players focus
First Serve Tennis, the new indoor tennis facility for the Kansas tennis team, isn't perfect, but it is better than the old place.
"Anything than traveling 45 minutes is better," Kansas coach Amy Hall-Holt said.
The old place was Wood Valley Racquet club in Topeka. The team started using First Serve Tennis in Lawrence back in February.
Traveling to Topeka to practice or play in a home meet eventually took its toll, Hall-Holt said.
"You have to be mentally tough no matter what sport you play on." Hall-Holt said.
She said that playing closer to campus has helped the team focus on just playing. In addition, the team is developing a localized fan base. As First Serve continues to add clientele, the Jayhawks will continue to gain fans, Hall-Holt said.
Senior Christine Skoda said the Lawrence location had simply made tennis life easier.
"It gave us time to focus on other things and to the little things we need to when you don't have to travel an hour everyday for practice or meet," Skoda said.
First Serve is in its first year of business, so it is still new to Lawrence tennis players. As more tennis enthusiasts gain membership to the facility, Hall-Holt said more people would come watch the team compete.
First serve has sent fliers to its members advertising KU tennis meets.
As of now, First Serve has three indoor courts, which is less than most indoor tennis facilities. This has caused some slow play during meets. Many tennis facilities have at least six to eight courts.
Since First Serve opened, owner Mike Elwell said the facility planned to build more courts.
Hall-Holt said the plan was to add to the courts, but how many and where was still uncertain. She said they could construct more courts indoors, but some could also go outdoors. A lot would depend on the donors.

Hall-Holt said.
"We still have fundraising to do before anymore courts are added." Hall-Holt said.
The team just wrapped up a weekend meet against UMKC and St. Louis. The team defeated both schools.
Hall-Holt said that winning matches was the key to adding more courts.
The tennis season is starting to make a transition to primarily outdoor matches. As the weather improves, the outdoor tennis increases. As a rule, all conference play must be done outdoors. The only time the team may play indoors is if the wind is moving faster than 20 mph, if it is below 50 degrees or if it is raining.
The team will return to action Saturday against Oklahoma at home.

Ames triumphs, thanks to masterful final round
BY DOUG FERGUSON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — An embarrassing loss to Tiger Woods is in the past. A trip to the Masters might not be in his future. All that mattered to Stephen Ames was playing the best round of his life to overwhelm the best players in golf Sunday in The Players Championship.
A month after making fun of Woods. Ames won like him.
He hit impeccable iron shots to build a big lead on the treacherous TPC at Sawgrass, then let everyone collapse in a series of wrecks around him. When he had fired at his last flag, Ames had a 5-under 67 — the best round of a demanding final
round — and won by six shots against two-time U.S. Open champion Retief Goosen.
champion Retter Goosen.
"This is big," Ames said. "This is characterized as the fifth major. I beat the top players in the world."
He finished at 14-under 274, earned $1.44 million from the NBC Sports NBA Tour.
He finished at 14-under 274,
earned $1.44 million from the
richest purse on the PGA Tour
and earned an unlikely trip to
the Masters in two weeks.
Whether he goes remains to be seen.
Ames' wife, Jodi, is recovering from lung cancer. His sons, ages 9 and 6, are starting their two-week spring break and Ames has a vacation planned.
"I had no plans of playing at Augusta," he said. "My priorities have always been family first. If it comes down to that, it's probably going to be a two-week vacation ... I'd rather go on vacation, to be truthful."
The way he played on a sunbaked afternoon on Sawgrass, he might be a force at the Masters.
It was the second-toughest Sunday at The Players Championship, yet Ames made it feel like a practice round. He showed no nerves and said he felt none. His 67 from the final group was the best score by two shots.
The only blip was a double bogey on the 10th hole, when mud on his ball caused his approach to plug into a bunker, and it took him two shots to get out. His lead was cut in half to two strokes, and with the terror of the back nine awaiting, it was set up for another dramatic finish.
Instead, Ames poured it on with magnificent shots, starting with a 3-iron into 15 feet on the par-5 11th to set up a two-putt birdie. Then came an 8-iron on the par-3 13th that caught the ridge and rolled to 2 feet for birdie. He took only 12 putts on the back nine, including a 25-footer for eagle from just off the green at No. 16.
"I think I did that this week, put myself in another gear," Ames said. "It was a matter of seeing the shot and hitting the shot and not worrying about it because ... nobody was close to me to worry about it."
Ames has seen that kind of golf before.
He faced Woods in the first round of the Match Play Championship, and riled him by saying that anything could happen, "especially where he's hitting the ball." Woods turned it into the short match in 18-hole history, 9 and 8, a score that became Ames' nickname the last month.
No more.
He's now The Players champion, with a performance his peers won't soon forget.
"What am I going to do, sit down and cry about it?" Ames said of that loss. "He's the No. 1 player in the world, and he played exceptionally well for ... was it nine or 10 holes? That was it."
Ames played with Vijay Singh, who didn't make a birdie until the 11th hole and finished with a 77.

The slipper fits: George Mason upsets UConn
BY JOSEPH WHITE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — George Mason is no longer the cute little underdog. The Patriots, by golly, are going to the Final Four.
The suburban commuter school from Fairfax, Va., beat top-seeded Connecticut 86-84 in overtime Sunday in the Washington Regional final, ending the stranglehold that big-time programs have enjoyed for 27 years in college basketball's biggest showcase.
They lacked in size, athleticism and history relative to their opponent, but the 11th-seeded Patriots made up for it with tenacity.
Buoyed by a partisan crowd and playing about 20 miles from their campus, George Mason rallied after trailing by 12 late in the first half and nine early in the second. They hit six straight 3-point shots in the second half, shot 5-for-6 in overtime and outrebounded UConn 37-34 even though the Huskies have three starters taller than any of the Patriots' front court players.
The Patriots became the second double-digit seed to make the Final Four, matching LSU's run, also as an 11th seed, in 1986. The Colonial Athletic Association team is the first true outsider to crash the Final Four since Pennsylvania and Indiana State both got there in 1979. The Patriots celebrated after the final horn by standing on the press row table and saluting their fans.
All five Mason starters finished in double figures. Jai Lewis had 20, and Lamar Butler and Will Thomas each scored 19. Jim Larranaga's team kept the same five players in the game from the 10:37 mark of regulation to the very end of overtime.
George Mason (27-7), having by far the best season in school history, had never won an NCAA tournament game until it beat half of last year's Final Four — Michigan State and No. 3 seed North Carolina — back-to-back in the first two rounds. Rudy Gay scored 20, and Jeff Adrien had a career-high 17 points for Connecticut (30-4), which never could put together a complete game in the tournament. The Huskies had to rally from double-digit second-half deficits to beat Albany and Washington and barely held off Kentucky.
Folarin Campbell's tough baseline fadeaway gave the Patriots an 84-80 lead in overtime, and UConn suddenly looked like a rattled underdog from a mid-major. Rashad Anderson tossed up an airball 3-point attempt that could have cut the lead to one, and Adrien missed one of two free throws in the final 30 seconds.
But Mason gave UConn a chance to win with poor free-throw shooting. Lewis missed three attempts in the final 15 seconds — the last two with 6.1 seconds to go — giving the Huskies a final possession to tie or win. Denham Brown, who made the reverse layup at the regulation buzzer to send the
game to overtime, was off the mark from the left wing with a potential game-winning 3-point shot at the buzzer.
Throughout the game, chants of "G-M-U" and "Let's Go Mason!" reverberated off the ceiling of the Verizon Center. Green and gold, as expected, were the dominant colors, and the building reached a new-level din of enthusiasm when Tony Skinn made a 3-pointer to tie the game at 21 in the first half.
UConn started 7-for-10 from the field yet couldn't pull away from the tenacious Patriots, who somehow managed to pull down and chase rebounds despite their height disadvantage. When the Huskies went cold, missing seven straight field goals, George Mason pulled even. The second of back-to-back steals by Skinn led to two free throws by Thomas that put the Patriots ahead 29-28, their only lead of the first half.
But the Huskies responded with a 15-2 run, including four 3-point shots from four players over the final three minutes of the first half. The lead was 12 when George Mason got a boost just before halftime — Campbell's three-point play with less than one second remaining cut the deficit to single digits, 43-34, at the break.
Mason out-rebounded UCoonn 16-15 in the half, but the Huskies shot 57 percent, with Adrian going 5-for-5 for 10 points.
George Mason will play Flor ida Saturday night.

Kansas battles cancer
Center plans growth regardless of legislature
BY CATHERINE ODSON
codson@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The KU Cancer Center is prepared to grow with or without support from the Kansas Legislature.
Roy Jensen, cancer center director, said the center was finalizing financial plans to become a regional cancer center that would bring top researchers and clinical trials to Kansas.
The cancer center plans to allow Kansans access to clinical drug trials at physicians' offices throughout the state through the Midwest Cancer Alliance, part of the center's plan to be recognized by the National Cancer Institute as a comprehensive cancer center.
Despite concern, the center's

benefits would not leave the Kansas City area, the network is designed to benefit all Kansans, not "create a fortress in Kansas City." Iensen said.
Gov. Kathleen Sebelius allocated $5 million of state money to the center in her proposed budget, but legislators are wary of awarding the large sum without any attached legislation.
Legislative concern led to proposed bills to control the research and networking of the cancer center.
The House passed a bill, the ethical research act, last week that encouraged the use of adult stem cells in research by offering tax write-offs to donors, but rejected a proposal to ban human-animal hybrids.
In testimony to the House
Gov. Kathleen Sebelius allocated $5 million of state money to the center in her proposed budget, but legislators are wary of awarding the large sum without any attached legislation. Legislative concern led to proposed bills to control the research and networking of the cancer center.
Appropriations Committee, Jensen said that he saw the governor's $5 million allocation as a fixture in the state and cancer center budgets as a step toward achieving recognition from the National Cancer Institute.
Funds like those from the state can be used to cover costs grants cannot, he said.
Bill to allow donations
Members of the House taxation committee, including chairman Kenny Wilk (R-Lansing), supported the causes, but expressed concern about the $160,000 cost of amending the tax forms and equipment.
Donating money to breast cancer research could be as easy as filling out another line of a tax form. Under a bill currently in the Kansas House, Kansans would be able to directly donate to breast cancer research at the KU Cancer Center on their tax refund forms.

That cost could be a recurring expense as
The breast cancer checkoff was added to a bill requiring a checkoff for emergency military relief, providing for living expenses for family members of active duty military personnel, be added to the Kansas individual income tax form.
Kansans can currently donate to the Chickadee Checkoff, which funds the Kansas Nongame Wildlife Improvement Program, and the Senior Citizens Meals on Wheels Contribution Program.
The Chickadee checkoff is more than 20 years old, but the Meals on Wheels checkoff is only three years old.
"Once it starts," Wilk asked, "where does it stop?"
more checkoffs are added.
Last year, the Chickadee Checkoff received $142,000 of donations from 2,000 people and the Meals on Wheels program gained $202,000 from 13,500 donors.
Sen. Barbara Allen (R-Overland Park), a breast cancer survivor, said there was no clear prediction of what the new checkoff would gain financially.
She predicted a large volume of people donating small amounts of money to this popular cause.
"This broadens the whole pie of money available for cancer research," she said.
The bill passed unanimously in the Senate in February, and the House committee on taxation recommended the House pass the bill.

City upgrades to obstruct some streets
BY KRISTEN JARBOE
kjarboe@kansan.com
KANSAAN STAFF WRITER
This week. yearly improvements to water, sewer and storm sewer infrastructure will continue throughout Lawrence.
"These projects are just regular things we do all the time," Bob Skinner, field operations manager for utilities distribution, said. "Near streets such as Kansas and Vermont, we needed to get the old water lines out to have better fire protection and reliability. We've just had some maintenance issues in the past that needed to get taken care of."
These improvements will cause some traffic problems on Massachusetts Street and close Fifth Street and Mississippi to Indiana streets to through traffic.
Travelers on Massachusetts Street will encounter some delays. Utilities Engineer Philip Ciesielski said that there would be no way to get around traffic disruption. He said they wouldn't completely shut down the street and would still maintain two-way traffic. There is the possibility that the right hand, southbound lane may be closed. But alternative actions to clear up traffic are still being discussed in the contract.
Monterey Wav
The project on Monterey Way involving the storm and water line is nearly finished. Bob Skinner, field operations manager for utility distribution, said the water line was finished, but he was not sure of the street conditions. There still may be traffic issues near the surrounding streets such as Peterson Road and part of Kasold Drive.
Storm sewer improvement is being done near Iowa Street, south of 33rd Street. According to a city press release, when work on storm sewer and street widening closes 33rd Street, Transit Bus Routes seven and eight will not serve 31st or 33rd streets, east of Iowa Street.

Kasold Drive
Because of the March 12 storm damage, three large utility poles will be replaced on Kasold Drive. The work started last Friday and will continue today. Work by Westar Energy contractors will divert the northbound lanes of Kasold Drive, from 22nd Terrace to Augusta Drive. For the four-block lane closure on Kasold Drive, northbound traffic will be diverted into one southbound lane.
Sixth and Indiana streets
Sanitary sewer improvement is continuing on Sixth and Indiana streets and will be finalized in the next two to three weeks. The Utilities Department did not receive any traffic complaints near Sixth and Indiana streets. Because Sixth Street was re-paved last year, the contract allowed them to only work underneath the street and not tear it up.
17th and Massachusetts streets Sewer improvements on 17th and Massachusetts streets should begin in the next couple weeks said Dave Wagner, assistant director for the Department of Utilities. Contracts are finalized and signed by the same contractors, so as soon as work near Sixth and Indiana streets becomes finalized, work will start near Massachusetts Street.

Vermont Street
The Lawrence Department of Utilities will begin to install a new water line along Vermont Street, from 2688 Vermont St. to Nebraska Street this week. The water line at Vermont and Kansas streets is another project that will begin today and go into Wednesday. Parking will be restricted in the surrounding area.

Kemp highlights taxes' effect on dreams
BY ANNE WELTMER
aweltmer@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
In a speech that traveled to all sides of the map, Jack Kemp promoted democracy, advocated capitalism, and delivered a powerful rebuke of American tax policy, which he said prevented people from achieving the American Dream.
Kemp, Senator Bob Dole's 1996 vice presidential running mate and a member of the U.S. House of Representatives for 18 years, spoke to a crowd of 50 Business students and members of the Lawrence community at the 38th Annual J.A. Vickers Sr.
and Robert F. Vickers Sr, Memorial Lecture Series Monday night at the Lied Center.
He said democracy "is the ultimate destiny of mankind because it's the only system that works."
Kemp immediately left the podium to get a little closer to the audience, making his anecdotal speech less formal. In between interjecting stories of his professional football years and his grandchildren's skiing in Vail, Colo., he delivered a clear message about capitalism and democracy.
He said his own father was a truck driver who got a loan to start his own trucking company
in Los Angeles with just one truck. He was the only worker, and he loaded, drove and unloaded everything himself. He delivered his clients' goods on time, every time, and developed a large clientele. He was able to generate enough profit to expand his business to two trucks. Kemp said his motivation was to put his four children through college, which he never attended.
Kemp said Adam Smith's laissez faire economics were not regulated enough, but that he wasn't a Marxist.

"The tax code stinks," he said. He said capital gains taxes hurt the poor next generation that dreams of becoming rich. It keeps the woman who wants to work on welfare because if she gets a job, she not only loses the welfare check, but also gets taxed on her income. he said.

Building damage cost may continue to rise
Campus buildings that were damaged in the March 12 microburst are being temporarily fixed to prevent rain from leaking into the buildings.
About eight contractors are working on the campus, installing temporary protection on roofs and assessing the cost of permanent fixes, Jim Long, vice provost of facilities planning and management, said. A final estimation of damage is in the works. As of Friday afternoon, $5.4 million in damage was tailed to 126 buildings.
"We originally estimated between six and seven million in costs associated with the damage," Long said. "We still expect the final amount to fall in that range."

Campaign manager to talk about election
Who will foot the bill for the damage is still unclear.The University has approached both the State of Kansas and FEMA, but neither organization has formally responded to the requests. Monday, the workers moved from examining the exterior of the affected buildings to the interiors, looking for things like water damage in classrooms.
Joe Trippi, the former campaign manager for Howard Dean's 2004 presidential campaign, will give a lecture at 7:30 tonight in Hansen Hall, located inside of the Robert J. Dole Center of Politics.
The lecture, entitled "Catching Lighting in a Bottle: The Rise and Fall of the Dean Campaign", will chronicle the ups and downs the Dean campaign experienced in the 2004 election year.
Trippi was responsible for organizing a successful Internet grassroots fundraising movement as Dean's campaign manager.
Through the Internet, he started a small-donor fundraising technique with all donations averaging less than $100, all of which helped Dean raise more money than any Democratic presidential campaign in history.
Pucker up!
He is also responsible for using the Internet as a social network to connect Dean campaign supporters throughout the nation and started a campaign blog.
Both practices have now been adopted by other political campaigns.

Moore: Humor gets me through
SPEAKER
Representative fields questions at Burge Union
BY MELINDA RICKETTS
mrickets@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Monday evening Rep. Dennis Moore said that most of the issues that are facing Congress now are so grave that he has to find humor where he can.
He did just that during the open forum at the Burge Union. While he was making his opening remarks, a blue KU Young Democrats banner covering the entire wall behind him came crashing down. He quickly responded, "I hope that's not a sign of things to come."
Moore, who has already served in the U.S. House of Representatives for four terms, is planning on running for another term.
After he made a few brief remarks, he fielded questions on topics ranging from genocide to partisanship to military death gratuities.
Moore said that there are four groups of people that he primarily tries to look out for: children whose parents can't or won't look out for them, people with disabilities, senior citizens and veterans, military families and military personnel. Beyond that,
he said, he really believes in personal responsibility.
"If you're able-bodied and between 18 and 65 then you should provide for yourself," he said.
Most of his answers were heavily infused with personal anecdotes that he used to explain his views.
"I look at every issue and try to make educated, concerned judgements on issues before Congress and just act on a partisan basis," Moore said.
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 3A
He said that he felt that partisanship in Congress has reached levels that are unhealthy for the country.
"Sometimes when you're there in Congress you just feel like you're butting your head against a wall and you can't get anything accomplished," he said.
Moore ended the session on a patriotic note, talking about how far the United States has come since the civil war when only white, male, property owners could vote.
"We're still not perfect, we still have a long ways to go, but I think we have the greatest country in the whole world," he said.
Marc Langston, Whichita sophomore and president of KU Young Democrats, said that before the forum he hadn't realized that Moore was so concerned about issues regarding the military troops.
"He has worked really hard for students and I don't think he emphasized that enough being in front of students." Langston said.

Shooting kills six, ends with suicide
BY JACKSON HOLTZ THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEATTLE — The young man who killed six people at a house party over the weekend had brought three guns, more than 300 rounds of ammunition, a baseball bat and a black machete, and told guests as he blazed away, "There's plenty for everyone," authorities said Monday.
Aaron Kyle Huff, 28, was "clearly intent on doing homicidal mayhem." Deputy Police Chief Clark Kimerer said.
However, investigators still have no idea wha, he said.
"We may be asking these questions over the next year or two," Kimerer said. "Hopefully we will find some answers."
Huff committed suicide when confronted by an officer outside the house early Saturday. Toxicology results will not be available for several days, Kimerer said.
Police said the victims, many of them dressed up as zombies in black with white face paint, had met Huff earlier in the night
at a rave called "Better Off Undead" and invited him to a party at their rented home.
He killed two people on the front steps, then killed three more people in the living room and went looking for more victims. police said.
As he walked back to the party, Huff used spray paint to write "NOW" on the sidewalk and a neighbors' stairs, police said.
Huff left the party at about 7 a.m. and returned wearing bandoliers of ammunition and carrying a 12-gauge pistol-grip shotgun and a handgun.
He tried to enter a locked bathroom, jiggled the handle and fired a few rounds through the door, missing a frightened couple.
As shots rang out, neighbors called 911. When police confronted Huff, he put the shotgun in his mouth and pulled the trigger.
"What he might have done if he was able to leave this scene and continue this rampage, I sudder to contemplate," Kimerer said.

Mission resurrected; asteroids to be explored
BY ALICIA CHANG
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — NASA resurrected an ambitious mission to explore two of the solar system's largest asteroids Monday, just weeks after budget woes killed the project.
The space agency scrapped the Dawn mission this month to orbit the asteroids Ceres and Vesta, nearly half a year after it was put on hold because of cost overruns and technical problems. The project's cost is now estimated at $446 million.
NASA decided to review the cancellation after the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which managed the mission, made an appeal.
NASA Associate Administrator Rex Geveden, who led the review, said the Dawn team has made significant progress in addressing the technical problems.
"There are always pretty tall challenges, and it looks like Dawn is prepared to take those on and beat them," Geveden said.
Powered by a xenon ion engine, Dawn would be the first spacecraft to circle the asteroids Ceres and Vesta, which are in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.
Dawn is now scheduled for launch in July 2007. The mission's cost was capped at $373 million, but NASA will pony up an extra $73 million to launch the spacecraft, instead of spending $14 million to terminate it.
Powered by a xenon ion engine, Dawn would be the first spacecraft to circle Ceres and Vesta, which are in the asteroid
belt between Mars and Jupiter.
Ceres and Vesta are believed to have formed in different parts of the solar system about 4.5 billion years ago, and studying them could provide clues to how the sun and planets formed.
The delayed launch should not affect the spacecraft's arrival time, Geveden said. Dawn was scheduled to reach Vesta in 2011, then fly to Ceres in 2015.
Scientists were outraged when NASA axed the Dawn mission after a March 2 congressional budget hearing. The agency cited a report by an independent team that found more than two dozen problems that needed to be resolved.
The cancellation came at a precarious time at NASA, which had been forced to cut or delay several science projects to help pay for the development of new manned vehicles to return to the moon next decade.
Military raid, bombing halt talks
BY STEVEN R. HURST
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAGHDAD, Iraq — Shiite politicians raged at the United States and halted negotiations on a new government Monday after a military assault killed at least 16 people in what Iraqis claim was a mosque. Fresh violence erupted in the north, with 40 killed in a suicide bombing.
The firestorm of recrimination over Sunday's raid in northeast Baghdad will likely make it harder for Shiite politicians to keep a lid on their more angry followers as sectarian violence bolls over, with at least 151 dead over the two-day period. A unity government involving Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds is a benchmark for American hopes of starting to withdraw troops this summer.
There were numerous conflicting statements from Iraqis and the Americans about the raid. Iraqi police, Shilite militia officials and major politicians have all said the structure attacked was the al-Mustafa mosque. But the U.S. military disputed this, saying no mosques were entered and that the raid targeted a building used by "insurgents responsible for kidnapping and execution activities."
In a conference call with reporters early Tuesday, Lt. Gen. Peter Chiarelli, deputy commander in Iraq, and Maj. Gen. J.D. Thurman, commander of the 4th Infantry Division, which is in control of Baghdad, said 25 U.S. forces were in a backup role to 50 Iraqi Special Operations troops.
The mission, the generals said, was developed by the Iraqis on their intelligence that an Iraqi
dental technician, knidnapped 12 hours earlier because he could not come up with $20,000, was being in what they called an office complex.
"It's important to remember we had an Iraqi unit with us, an Iraqi unit of 50 folks and they told us point blank that this was not a mosque," Chiarelli said. "It's not Mustafa mosque. Mustafa mosque is located six blocks north on our maps of this location."
Associated Press reporters who visited the scene of the raid identified it as a neighborhood Shiite mosque complex. Television footage taken Monday showed crumbling walls and disarray in a compound used as a gathering place for prayer. It was filled with religious posters and strung with banners denouncing the attack.

Marci Nielsen, assistant vice chancellor for health policy, said she was thrilled the legislators were interested in meeting the cancer center's goals, but the proposed legislation wouldn't help the center.

Rep. Bonnie Sharp (D-Kansas City) said the cancer center could proceed without the detailed legislation that draws administrative power away from the experts at the center.

Despite the harsher economic conditions, Kemp encouraged students by saying that the only thing really standing in the way of their own success is themselves.

OUR OPINION
Graduating students should indulge senioritis
Spring Break is over and there's less than two months of classes left this semester. If you're a senior — graduating, that is — it's time to start thinking about senioritis.
TUESDAY, MARCH 28, 2006
Don't be afraid to give in to this thinking.
There's more beers at the Crossing, more skipped classes and more of the "Yeah, this paper's not going to get any better" rationale.
It's natural. In the last two months of schooling, students can treat themselves before that first job, that first big move or that first indefinite stay at their parents' home. There has been plenty of time to be a good student and there will be plenty of time to do well in the real world. Give yourself a little pat on the back during this transition, if you've earned it.
College is, after all, about more than just school.
Don't be stupid about it, of course. Not graduating or nearly not graduating because you didn't have the fortitude to go to classes or get work done isn't senioritis, it's moronitis.
But there's one group of students to whom this affliction's aftermath will affect more: Those who are continuing their education.
Students temporarily forgoing their foray into the real world to get more education will have their final transcripts noted.
Graduate and other post-graduate professional schools require students to turn in a transcript after graduation. Of course, by this time the student will have already been accepted into his or her school. But senioritis isn't an excuse for that odd looking 'D' in the Art of Walking class you snuck in during your senior year.
Issue: Slacking off before graduation
Stance: Seniors deserve relaxation, but they should remember how grades affect admission to post-graduate institutions.
For these students, the well-intended advice to keep studying, keep reading textbooks and keep going to class rings truer. Not only will their final senior marks be scrutinized more by schools than employers, but these students' diligence during these warm months will be appreciated more
A solid final semester gives the impression of gearing up for more rigorous study. It shows the avoidance of the habitual let-down at the end of school.
Both traits smack of being ready for post-graduate work.
And, unfortunately, and maybe unfairly, senioritis doesn't really apply to these students. The Urban Dictionary defines senioritis as an crippling disease that strikes seniors, causing laziness and a lack of studying. These undergrads aren't near the end of their college careers quite yet.
Save it for the third year of law school or the end of a masters program in economics. (Senioritis is not recommended for or diagnosed by most medical students).
Or, if you're really assiduous, go for "doctorateitis." There is nothing like the release of coasting for two months after 10 years of schooling. You'll have really earned it then.

As avian bird flu marches across Asia and Europe, talk of pandemic — worldwide illness caused by a virus no one has immunity to — is in every newspaper and on every radio and television.
Jason Shad, opinion editor
84-4924 or jshaad@kansan.com
Scientists, pharmaceutical companies and government officials are preparing for bird flu's potential arrival in the United States by tightening tracking of migratory birds, monitoring influenza cases more closely, stockpiling antiviral drugs and developing plans for vaccination and quarantine should a pandemic occur.
In the town of Iblisi, Georgia, near Russia and Turkey. two young girls died of a common strain of influenza, not bird flu. Yet the whole town has nearly shut down. School attendance decreased by half, restaurants stopped serving chicken and eggs, and the streets are emptier because people are simply staying indoors, reported the New York Times.
The psychological effects of a potential pandemic seem as serious as the physical ones. People could react as they did to Mad Cow disease — in this case, cutting out chicken to be on the safe side, which could harm the poultry industry. It has done so in Asia and Europe.
The usual conspiracy theories emerge, too. Tamiflu is manufactured by Roche, the pharmaceutical company that Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld owns stock in. According to The Insider, a United Kingdom online journal

BIRD FLU FACTS

avian flu, an influenza virus of the type H5N1, to develop into a pandemic ten years ago, said Gianofranco Pezzino, director of the Kansas Health Institute.
Although it shows signs of "pre-pandemic behavior," such as mutating into new strains and having potential to infect humans, H5N1 isn't classified as a pandemic. It's not global, and as it exists now, the virus only transfers from birds to humans — not from one human to another.
As.of March, 2006:
And it doesn't seem likely to transfer between humans anytime soon. In studies published by researchers in Japan and Holland, the virus stays too deep in the lungs to be transferred by coughing and sneezing, like the common, seasonal flu is.
But if H5N1 doesn't develop into a pandemic, some other virus probably will, and soon. As for which virus or where it will come from, it's all educated guesswork at best.
Bird flu is found in 45 countries.
"Viruses can always surprise. Viruses do what viruses do. And we don't know as much as we'd like to think we do," said Gail Hansen, state epidemiologist with the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.
The bottom line is that viruses will always keen scientists oussine
150 million birds have died or have been exter minated because of the virus.
It's this lack of a sense of control that needs to be battled the most. Preparation is necessary, both to quell the fears of American citizens and to stop or slow a pandemic if it strikes.
Evanhoe is a Derby senior in chemistry.

GRE is better measure than GPA
YOUR OPINION
Fellow seniors, if you've got some things you still want to do before you go off to the rest of your life, then the time is now. Younger classmates, you may have a bit longer. Regardless of classification, though, I give you this advice: Risk failure and go about your affairs so that your memory of them will be as devoid of the pangs of regret as possible. Then you will never be left wondering to yourself, "Did I miss out on something?"
"I hardly think GPAs are a better measure of a student's potential success. Grades are the equivalent to wooden nickels in academia. How
many times have you or a student you known negotiated their way to a better grade? How many times has a 78 percent gotten bumped up to an 80 percent, or a B by some charitable teacher? How many student take classes taught by teachers with the reputation of going easy in the gradebook and evading the teachers who
force you to earn your grade? Grades were a joke in high school and continue to be in undergraduate courses. I, for one, am glad that schools have gotten hip to the fraud that the letter grade system is and started forcing students to earn their way into admission with an objective measure of a student's skills."
Editor's note: The comment below is an online response to a March 17 letter-to-the-editor entitled, "Too much emphasis placed on GRE." The comment appears unedited.
Yet the converse of this is just as poisonous — unless we remember our short-comings, we may be apt to attribute more to ourselves than we have earned, feeling smug and beyond the trouble of engaging ourselves in new and worthy causes.
For seniors it's time for reflection
M.
COMMENTARY
SCOTT SHORTEN opinion@kansan.com
For many of us seniors whose undergraduate careers have come nearly to an end, we have a fleeting chance to take one last moment amidst our other daily events and chaos, to reflect on all that we have done with our time at this university. And more importantly, if necessary, to use what little time we have left at our disposal to tie up some of those more slippery objectives.
Shorten is a Stillwell senior in business administration.
As for myself, I have often thought about my four years here—mostly wondering whether if, in two months, I will walk away from KU knowing that I did all I could to make my college experience worthwhile from educational, organizational and, as equally important I think, social viewpoints. Will I look back on the University and beam with pride of the things I may have been able to accomplish for myself, or will I focus instead on the fact that I left so much undone and so many opportunities unrealized? Will I recall more vividly the things I have taken great satisfaction in, or the things of which I've been greatly ashamed?
Either way, I think that we would all be well-advised to appreciate both the positives and the negatives as necessary and important: The pride of successes for allowing us to hold ourselves in high esteem as we move forward into future challenges; the shame of our errors and pains of our defeats as prickly fiends to our otherwise complacent consciences, driving us to reconcilc our hearts and to rectify our wounded self-confidence. Without our pride, we run the risk of fading into the masses of men and women who lead, as Thoreau suggests, "lives of quiet desperation."

Guest worker bill approved
IMMIGRATION
BY DAVID ESPO
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The Senate Judiciary Committee approved sweeping election-year immigration legislation Monday that clears the way for 11 million illegal aliens to seek U.S. citizenship without having to first leave the country.
After days of street demonstrations that stretched from California to the grounds of the U.S. Capitol, a coalition of Democrats and Republicans also agreed to strip out proposed criminal penalties for residents found to be in this country illegally.
"All Americans wanted fairness and they got it this evening," said Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, the Massachusetts Democrat who played a pivotal role in drafting the legislation.
The 12-6 vote was unusual, with a majority of Republicans opposed to the measure even though their party controls the Senate.
Committee Chairman Arlen Specter, R-Pa., voted for the bill but signaled that some of the provisions could well be changed by the full Senate once debate begins there Tuesday.
In general, the bill is designed to strengthen the Border Patrol, create new opportunities for so-called guest workers and determine the legal future of the estimated 11 million immigrants living in the United States illegally.
At several critical points, committee Democrats showed unity while Republicans splintered. In general, GOP Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Sam Brownback of Kansas and Mike DeWine of Ohio, who is seeking re-election this fall, sided with Democrats. That created a majority that allowed them to shape the bill to their liking.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-
Calif., won approval for a five-year program to permit as many as 1.5 million agriculture workers into the country. "It will provide the agriculture industry with a legal work force and offer agriculture workers a path to citizenship," she said. The vote was 11-5, with Republicans casting all the votes in opposition.
In addition, Kennedy prevailed on a proposal to allow an additional 400,000 green cards for future immigrants, regardless of the industry where they find jobs.
"Well over 60 percent of Americans in all the polls I see think it's OK to have temporary
Sen, Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., and other conservatives said anything but a requirement for illegal immigrants to return home amounted to amnesty, and he said he had national opinion on his side.
workers, but you do not have to make them citizens," said Kyl, who is seeking re-election this fall.
"We have a fundamental difference between the way you look at them and the way I look at them," Kennedy observed later.
The committee met as several thousand demonstrators rallied at the foot of the Capitol. Many were members of the clergy who donned handcuffs and sang "We Shall Overcome," the unofficial anthem of the civil rights era.
"The first Christian value is love thy neighbor," read some of the signs.
After a weekend of enormous rallies — as many as 500,000 in Los Angeles — thousands of students walked out of class in California and Texas to protest proposals in Congress to crack down on illegal immigrants.
In Detroit, protesters waved Mexican flags as they marched to a downtown federal office building.
"Do you see the community?
Do you see how many people didn't go to work today," asked Janet Padron, a 22-year-old resident of Allen Park, Mich.
Her remark underscored one of the complexities confronting Congress and the Bush administration as they grapple with the issue of immigration.
Senators on all sides of the issue agreed that illegal workers hold thousands of jobs that otherwise would go unfilled at the wages offered.
The agriculture industry is "almost entirely dependent on undocumented workers," Feinstein said. "It is unrealistic to think the workers will go home because they work here, and the agriculture industry is dependent on them."

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
All agree on these All-Americans
Redick, the most prolific three-point scorer in college history, was a repeat choice. He and Morrison were joined on the first team Monday by Redick's teammate Shelden Williams, Randy Foye of Villanova and Brandon Roy, Washington's first All-America in 53 years.
J. J. Redick of Duke and Adam Morrison of Gonzaga spent all season locked in a bicoastal scoring race. Fittingly, they ended it as the only unanimous selections for The Associated Press' All-America men's basketball team.
Redick and Morrison gave fans a "Can you top this?" scoring competition that ended with both receiving all 72 first-team votes from members of the national media panel that selects the weekly Top 25. The voting took place before the NCAA tournament.
Morrison, the only junior on an otherwise all-senior first team, won the scoring title with a 28.4 average, just ahead of Redick's 27.4. Morrison shot 43.7 percent from 3-point range, while Redick hit 42.1 percent from beyond the arc.
Morrison said being an All-America isn't "something you think about receiving when you start your collegiate career, but to be associated with some of the great names of college basketball is an honor. I guess
"It is a testament to the type of season each of us has had," Redick said. "Adam is certainly a great player and it is an honor to be unanimous pick along with him."
This is the second time in three years there were two unanimous selections. In 2004, Jameer Nelson of Saiut Joseph's and Emeka Okafer of Connecticut were unanimous.
Redick and Williams, a senior center who averaged 18.4 points and 10.3 rebounds while shooting 58 percent from the field, are the ninth set of teammates to be selected to the first team and the first since Jason Williams and
Redick is the first repeat firstteamer since Jason Williams, another Duke guard, in 2001 and 2002.
Morrison is Gonzaga's second All-America, joining Dan Dickau in 2002.
to be a unanimous pick with J.J. seems only fitting since the two of us have been followed so closely this year. He's a great player."
"Both JJ. and Shelden are deserving of this honor. They have produced on the court at a high level all season, and throughout their entire careers at Duke," coach Mike Krzyzewski said. "They both understand that individual awards like this come about as a result of throwing themselves into what is important for our team. It is quite an accomplishment for teammates to be named first team All-America by The Associated Press."
Shane Battier of Duke in 2001.
BY JIM O'CONNELL THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Duke, the overall No.1 seed in the NCAA tournament, was the only team besides Connecticut to be ranked No.1 in the AP poll this season. The Blue Devils won both the regular season and tournament championships in the Atlantic Coast Conference.

WNIT
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 12A
KANSAS
with less than a minute left in regulation to send the game into overtime. The victory against Wisconsin marked Kansas' first victory against a major-conference team after playing mid-major schools for the first two months. Kansas overcame a 14-point deficit, the third largest in school history, to win the game. Kemp established a new career-high with 28 points.
Kansas file photo
BOTTOM 5:
Junior guard Sharita Smith guards Kansas State freshman guard Shalee Lehning during a game on March 2 in Allen Fieldhouse. Kansas' three losses to Kansas State were one of the bottom moments for the Jayhawks this season.
The streak has hit double-digits. Kansas has now dropped 11 consecutive games to its in-state rival, dating back to the 2001-2002 season. The senior class of Hallman, Kemp and Brown never defeated Kansas State in its four years at Kansas. Despite the six-
point loss in Manhattan early in the conference season, the result in the final two games was never in doubt. The three losses came by a combined 44 points.
2. Mississippi 78, Kansas 76 (March 19)
Kansas squandered a 16-point, second-half lead in its loss in the first round of the WNIT. The Jayhawks built their lead off strong
guarda Shantaq Alwaziy. The KU defense was not able to control Mississippi's Armintie Price in the final 14 minutes. The Rebels used a 29-11 run to tie the game with seven minutes remaining. Price finished with 31 points, tying the most given up all season by the Jayhawks.
bench play from Zinic and junior guard Shaquina Mosley.
3. Colorado 74, Kansas 65 (Jan. 10) /
Colorado 77, Kansas 71 (Feb. 1)
The Buffalooes finished the Big 12 season with three conference victories — two of those victories came against the Jayhawks. The Jayhawks rarely led in either game, despite strong performances from Brown in both games. Kansas' chances of moving up in the conference were hampered by this season sweep.
4. Baylor 90, Kansas 40 (Jan. 28)
The 50-point loss in Waco,
Texas, was the worst loss in program history, Kansas kept the game close for most of the first half, but the defending national champions opened up their five-point lead to 23 by halftime. Baylor scored 37 points off 23 KU turnovers in the record-setting loss. Kansas only had one player, Kemp, in double figures. She had only 10 points.
5. Missouri 64, Kansas 57 (Feb.11)
Kansas controlled the game for 35 minutes, then Bond struck for Missouri. Bond scored 12 of her game-high 31 points in the final five minutes of the game. Missouri shut down Kansas' offense with four steals on four consecutive possessions to open up a nine-point lead. The Jayhawks' three seniors scored 47 of the team's 57 points. The remaining 10 points came from freshman guard Ivana Catic and sophomore forward Taylor McIntosh.

Referee
"There have been quite a few times where I had to break up fights," Eicove said. Kurt Schooley, assistant director of Recreation Services Sport Programs, has been a Kansas high school basketball official for eight years. Schooloy said the students went through three, four-hour training sessions. He said while the training officials received was above average for intramurals, it would not turn anyone into a NCAA-quality official.
"If they're giving effort and getting better that's all I can ask," Schoolo said.
Lienhorn said even with the constant jeers from players and fans, the hours were flexible and there were numerous opportunities for advancement.
"It's the best job you can have on campus," Eichhorn said.

WOMEN'S GOLF Kansas brings home top tournament honors
The Kansas women's golf team took home first place in the Mountain View Collegiate in Catalina, Ariz. March 24-26.
The Jayhawks shot a three-day total of 884, one stroke ahead of second place Nebraska. On the final day they shot 290, the best round of golf the Jayhawks had played all season.
Individually, senior Chelsey Pryor shot a 217, which was good enough for sixth place in
the event. Sophomore Annie Giangrosso followed close behind, tying for seventh place individually with a 218. Junior Amanda Costner finished in a tie for 14th place with a 221, and senior Meredith Winkelmann shot a 228, tying for 35th. The KU victory was the team's first since the Marilynn Smith/Sunflower Invitational in the fall of 2004.
"I am so proud of our girls," Kansas coach Erin O'Neill said. "I know what this team is capable of and I hope this a springboard for the rest of the season."
Stephen Bergman
Tennis
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 12A
In the sweep against UMKC, Kansas allowed only one game point, which came in the second set of the last match in the No. 6 spot, which was held by sophomore Stephanie Smith. By adding three sweeps during spring break, Kansas now has a total of five sweeps this season. The Jayhawks have eight matches left before the Big 12 Tournament.
"We played really well, it was definitely a good, good change for us to play some teams to
get our confidence back going again." Hall-Holt said.
LSU was the highest ranked team by the International Tennis Association that Kansas has defeated this season.
"They are a really good team and I think that is what started our comeback, I guess you could call it," senior Christine Skoda said about LSU.
Freshman Ksenia Bukina overcame a losing streak during spring break. She lost her three previous singles matches to Iowa, Oklahoma State, and
Kansas State, respectively. She responded by winning her singles matches against Southern and LSU. She did not compete individually in the past two matches against UMKC and Saint Louis, forcing everyone on the team to move up one spot. Bukina competed in doubles matches against Saint Louis.
As a result of her losing streak, she has dropped from the ITA singles rankings, but still holds the No. 1 spot at Kansas.
After the four-game winning
streak, Kansas now has a record of 9-6. Because all of the matches were against non-Big 12 teams, that still leaves Kansas tied for last place in the Big 12, along with Iowa State and Missouri, with a conference record of 0-3.
The remaining eight Kansas matches will be against Big 12 opponents.
Kansas will face Oklahoma on April 1 in Lawrence at the Robinson Courts.

HOROSCOPES
ARIES (March 21-April 19) *****
You could easily be on a tear as the day begins, and beating your chest in victory by the evening. Your mood swings could be dramatic, mainly because you see life differently. A firm grip on your potential makes a difference.
Tonight. Easy does it.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) * * *
You might want to rethink a recent decision, especially if it is causing tension within a partnership or relationship. Knowing when to back out could be important. You might want to slow down and simply think through a situation.
Tonight Easy does it!
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ******
Think before you leap into action. Your smile goes a long way toward winning friends, even some who might throw a tantrum right now. You could see your way to changes that are more positive if you anchor in and don a very serious attitude.
Tonight. Smile away after all the seriousness!
CANCER (June 21-July 22) ★★★★
Your perspective might change because of information heading your way. Decide to step up to the plate and take more responsibility. If you are willing to lead and move a situation, success will surely greet you.
Tonight. Out late.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) *****
Working with individuals makes a big difference in what happens. You might want to rethink your actions, especially as you might have been unusually ornery. A serious approach draws positive results.
Tonight: Happy as can be.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) ★★★★
Others will stand up to you and force you to regroup and think through your plans. You might be a bit out of sorts as a result. You need to talk to a trusted advisor rather than react. You'll get a different slant.
Tonight: Quint works.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ****
You often have a lot to say, Today's words could be more hurtful than you realize. You might need to slow down before you cause yourself a problem. Ease up and work with someone you care about.
Tonight: Listen to the other side.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ****
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) *★★*
You might come out OK as long as you cut risking, especially financially. Clearly, you cannot determine others' responses, though you might want to. Someone might present a far different opinion from the one you are working with.
Tonight. Relax.
SAGITTIARUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) **
You could be pushing way beyond the norm.
Others simply might not be ready to hear you at all. Loosen up and work with a present situation. If you flex, the outcome will be much better - promise.
Tonight. Now, let off steam.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) *★★*
Your words could get a strong reaction, or you might be going "ouch" from someone else's reaction. You might not always know what works best. Slow down and think rather than react.
Tonight: A favorite dinner.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★
Your expenses might not be the way you like them. You can say "no" or find an alternative. Be willing to explore your options no matter what someone else does or thinks. Find tried and proven sources for suggestions.
Toptail Talk to a source
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) *****
You hit flak no matter which way you turn.
Don't let frustration get the best of you.
Stay even and find the proper path for the moment.
Answers head your way. Be easy-going, and you will enjoy yourself.
Tonight Treat yourself.

BIG 12 CONFERENCE BASEBALL
Baseball swings into conference action
Editor's note: The Kansas baseball team opened Big 12 Conference play this season against Baylor and Nebraska, going 1-2 in both series. Kansas baseball writers Allisa Bauer and Shawn Shroyer provided a team-by-team breakdown of each Big 12 Conference opponent.
No. 10 TEXAS (19-10,4-1 Big 12)
No. 10 Texas (19-10, 4-1 Bie 12)
Fast fact: The Longhorns
Fast fact. The Longhorns have appeared in three of the last four College World Series Championships, winning two (2002, 2005), and will try to become the first team to win back-to-back national championships since LSU (1996, 1997).
Key additions: Freshmen infielder Bradley Suttle and outfielder Jordan Danks were drafted last spring and now are playing well for the Longhorns, but outfielder Kyle Russell has been the most impressive Texas freshman. Russell is batting .375 with 27 hits, 18 runs, five home runs and 28 RBI.
Player to watch: Junior outfielder Drew Stubbs. He has started all 29 games for the Longhorns and is batting .314 with 33 hits, 30 runs, four home runs and 21 RBI. One pitcher to keep an eye on is sophomore Adrian Alaniz (4-0). In eight starts, Alaniz leads the team in victories and has a 1.92 ERA and 36 strikeouts, which are second best on the team.
When Texas will face Kansas: May 5-1 in Austin, Texas.
No. 3 NEBRASKA (17-3, 2-1)

last season, but

transfer outfieldier Luke Gorsett has started all but one game for Nebraska, is batting .373 and leads the team with 28 hits, nine home runs, 21 RBI and an .813 slugging percentage.
Player to watch: Nebraska's success will rest on its pitching staff, beginning with junior Joba Chamberlain (3-1). This season, Chamberlain is second on the team with a 1.32 ERA and 34 strikeouts. Senior closer Brett Jensen (3-0) is one of the top closers in the nation and has four saves in 10 appearances.
When Nebraska faced Kansas:
Nebraska won the March 25-26
series, 2-1.
No.29 MISSOURI (15-8, 5-1)
fast fact: The

Key additions:
Sophomore infielder Brock Bond transferred to Missouri from Arkansas and is batting .355 with 27 hits, 20 runs and 10 RBI. Freshman David Cales is a dual threat, having made six appearances in the field and 11 out of the bullpen.

No. 24 BAYLOR (16-8,3-3)
lefty Nathan Culp (5-2) has a 2.36 ERA and leads the team in victories, strikeouts (32) and innings pitched (45.2).
Player to watch: Junior Max Scherzer (3-1). He was named Big 12 Pitcher of the Year last season and has lived up to the preseason hype with a 2.88 ERA and 31 strikeouts in just 25 innings pitched this season. Scherzer isn't the only ace on Missouri's staff, though. Junior
Fast fact: Baylor tied Big 12
records and set program records with five players drafted in the first 10 rounds of last spring's draft and had a total of
BU
total of seven players selected in the first 15 rounds.
Key additions: Baylor's most valuable addition is a player who was on the team last year but has played a new role this year. Senior Zach Dillon led the team in RBI last season as the team's designated hitter. Now he's behind the plate playing catcher and has still been productive. Dillon is batting a team-best .370 with 27 hits, 16 runs, two home runs and 18 RBI.
Players to watch: Starting pitchers sophomore Tim Matthews, junior Cory VanAllen and senior Ryan LaMotta. The trio has a combined 8-6 record and 3.71 ERA. With a mediocre offense supporting them, these players will need a better collective winning percentage and ERA to make it to the postseason.
When Baylor faced Kansas: Baylor won the March 17-19 series, 2-1.
No. 23 OKLAHOMA (20-6, 2-1)
fast fact: 2006 will be Sunny Galloway's first full season as head coach at Oklahoma.

No. 24 KANSAS SYATE [17-3, 1-2]
Fast fact: In 1905, the Chicago Cubs visited Manhattan and defeated K-State. 13-0. The Cubs stopped in Manhattan on their way back from spring training in Arizona.
During their 16-game winning streak, the Wildcats faced only one ranked opponent, for only one game (a victory against No. 19 Wichita State on March 14).
Key addition: In his nine games played, freshman centerfielder Tyler Link is hitting .438 and has attempted and stolen five bases.
Player to watch: Senior outfielder Joe Roundy. He held a 16-game hit streak that was snapped along with his team's 16-game win streak on Saturday against Missouri. Roundy leads the team with a .468 batting average, nine doubles and 27 RBI.
When Kansas State will face Kansas: April 21 in Lawrence, and April 22-23 in Manhattan.

INTRAMURALS
Abuse fights all part of job

Chris Eichhorn does not wear glasses, yet every day at work people angrily suggest he should.
Eichhorn, Baldwin senior, is one of nearly 75 students who works as an intramural basketball official for KU Recreation Services

after every call they make.
Eichhorn could not help but grin when he recalled an incident earlier this semester when a player physically showed his displeasure with his officiating.
He said during one game he gave a player two technical fouls, both for cursing at the officials, which caused the player to be ejected.
"He just walked off without even looking back," Eichhorn said. "I couldn't believe it."
During a game this semester Eichhorn was forced to break up another scuffle in a game between two teams, one made up of KU football players.
Tempers eventually cooled, but Eichhorn said it was a fight that he was not looking forward to trying to break up.
"You're just playing for a shirt. People shouldn't get that worked up over it." Eichhorn said.
Zach Eicove, Olathe freshman, was officiating on the court next to Eichhorn's when the water bottle incident happened.
He said that in the highly competitive games, players' tempers often flare out of control. One of the main reasons players snap at the officials and other players is because most officials are the same age or even younger then the players, unlike officials in the NCAA, who are usually much older.

This was Kansas' lone victory against a team that played in the NCAA tournament. Junior guard Sharita Smith's defense on Missouri guard LaToya Bond was the deciding factor in the game. In the earlier meeting at Mizzou Arena, Bond lit up Kansas for 31 points. Smith, however, held Bond to just four points in 40 minutes in this game.

5 reasons for KU's round 1 demise
1. Inexperienced players
TRAVIS ROBINETT trobinett@kansan
Who's to blame for the Bradley disaster in the first round of the NCAA tournament? If you're pointing your finger at Kansas coach Bill Self, you shouldn't be. Here are five reasons why you can't blame Self for Kansas' first-round loss.
Playing in the tournament for the first time is tough, especially for freshmen. Even the sophomores, minus guard Russell Robinson, lacked poise, as their only tournament experience was last year watching from the bench. They played a combined 10 minutes against Bucknell; three for center Sasha Kaun and seven for center CJ Giles.
Kansas couldn't prepare for the feel of an NCAA tournament game. The teamwork wasn't there. That showed in the box score. Kansas had only 11 assists. The only three games it had fewer than 11 assists were against Arizona, Nevada and Kansas State — all losses.
2. Bad decisions at key moments
Kansas turned the ball over 18 times, leading to 22 points for Bradley off those turnovers. Some of those 18 turnovers were more timely than others. Was it Self's fault that Kaun and Robinson threw the ball to no one on two important possessions late in the game during Kansas' comeback?
As a team, Bradley averaged a mediocre 33.6 percent from three-point range. In three games in the Missouri Valley Conference tournament, Bradley went 4-of-21, 2-of-13 and 3-of-22 from three-point range. Against Kansas, the Braves went 11-of-21 from long range, putting them just above 50 percent for the game.
I am not saying the referees were biased. They called a fair game. However, the way they called the game was not in Kansas' favor. All season long Kansas relied on solid defensive basketball to force bad shots and turnovers. In turn, that led to a productive fast break offense. That's Bills Self basketball.
But against Bradley, Kansas was called for 25 fouls, with Giles and freshman guard Mario Chalmers fouling out. Bradley ended up shooting 32 free throws. The refs consistently called the Jayhawks for every touch foul they committed, taking the team away from what it does best: playing tough defense.
3. The referees
5. A crazy tournament
4. Bradley's three-pointers
Kansas pulled within three points late in the game, but never could overcome the deficit. Hypothetically, the game could have been tied had Bradley not made a desperate, deep three-point bank shot to end the first half.
This is March. It happens. Bradley's trip to the Sweet Sixteen didn't even make it the biggest Cinderella in the tournament. That honor was taken by George Mason, who made the Final Four.
So should Self be blamed? Definitely not. Blame the format of a one-and-done tournament. "March Madness" is clichéd for a reason.

KJHK to resume broadcast this week
In the middle of the lunch rush, Tyler Levy pauses from making sandwiches to turn off the Led Zepplin CD that has been skipping for the last minute.
Tyler Levy and Travis Grebenick both work at the Round Corner Cheese & Salami Shoppe, Eighth and Massachusetts streets. Usually the two would be working to the music of KJHK, but with the station off air because of damage to its tower, CDs and iPods have been used to fill the void.
The good news for KJHK fans is the station is broadcasting via its Web site, www.kjhk.org, and installation of the station's antenna could happen as early as this week.
BY MIKE MOSTAFFA
mmostaffa@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
"We get really tired of our CDs," Grebenick said. "KJHK plays a great variety of music, so you'll never hear the same song (twice)."
Andy Dierks, general manager and program adviser for KJHK, said debris from the March 12 microburst had damaged the 82-year-old radio tower behind Marvin Hall.
Dierks said a meeting that included KU staff from Facility Operations and the Design and Construction Management Office was held during spring break. They determined that the damaged old radio tower should be demolished and the station's antenna should be moved to the KANU radio tower near the Lied Center. Dierks said the University has been very helpful in this process.
"One of their main concerns was JKH," Dierks said. "They wanted to make sure the station wasn't off the air long."
Dierks said the process had been easier because the University had already planned to move the antenna to the KANU tower this summer. With much of the administration and technological work already done, the process has been relatively smooth said Dierks.

STUDENT SENATE
Senators' time management tested
BY NICOLE KELLEY
nkelley@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The time commitment required of student senators is hefty. Add school and a social life on top of that, and you get one very busy student.
For some though, come spring semester, things get even more hectic because of election season. Those senators who re-run for their office positions have to play a delicate balancing act between the elections and their other obligations within Senate.
"The hardest part is actually balancing the time. It is like taking on an additional load of
classes while campaigning, and you have to work very hard to balance it all," said body student president Nick Sterner.
Nolan T. Jones, Pittsburg junior and Senate communications director, said the most important thing was for senators to not brush off their Senate responsibilities. They still have to do their office hours, complete their outreach hours and attend a meeting every Wednesday night.
"Senate is work — long term and repetitive work. The benefits are many, but it's difficult for some to realize that getting a seat is the tip of the iceberg. If you really want to achieve something, you're going to have to be dili-

gent." Jones said.
Jason Boots, Plano, Texas, seni er, is running as the presidential candidate for Ignite. He said that during elections a lot of his friendships and studies outside of Senate take a back seat.
"Generally, everybody knows they have a lot to do, and they
just plan better and do things more efficiently," Boots said. "If I was as efficient all year as I am during elections, aside from me going crazy, I would be a star athlete, student, friend and senator."
Another issue that comes up in Senate during elections is how to keep the politics of competing
parties out of the weekly meetings and other office times.
Sterner, who is no stranger to the election process, said that most senators had enough respect for one another that they are able to separate the campaign from Senate duties in a professional manner. He said, however, that there were always some issues on a platform that could cause longer and more heated discussions in meetings.
"As a candidate, you are well aware of the lines of professionalism that should be held between coalitions and friends that you have worked with for the past year," Sterner said.

KICKING THE HABIT Support groups help women stop smoking
BY CATHERINE ODSON
codson@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Two years ago, Jessica Herken did something her high school persona would have never approved — the Leavenworth senior started smoking.
Herken started smoking socially while surrounded by friends who smoked. Within the next year, her habits shifted to daytime smoking.
"You don't realize it," she said.
Despite smoking's inherent health risks, Herken continued to smoke regularly to cope with the stress in her life.
Nearly 25 percent of college women smoke, and a quarter of today's smokers started after turning 18, according to the American Legacy Foundation, the organization that sponsors the "truth" campaign.
The foundation selected the University of Kansas as one of 12 pilot sites for the Circle of Friends program by the American Legacy Foundation. The Circle of Support, the KU branch of Circle of Friends, exists to have women support other women who are trying to quit smoking.
"Social support is important to helping anyone quit, but especially for women because they rely on friends," said Melissa Smith, manager of the Wellness Resource Center at Watkins Memorial Health Center.
Participants use a workbook from the American Legacy Foundation to identify their smoking patterns and get help establishing a circle, a group of people dedicated to providing support for quitting smokers.

Clinic offers affordable care

Two floors below Abe and Jake's Landing, a bar KU students frequent each weekend, is a place many students may not know about.
The non-profit clinic offers discounted and sometimes even free medical services to those who can't afford them. The clinic is little known because the staff would rather spend money on treating patients than on advertising.
The non-profit Heartland Medical Clinic operates five days a week from the first floor of the Riverfront Plaza, offering discounted and sometimes even free medical services to those who can't afford them. Heartland serves as a family practice and urgent care facility, and on
Heartland tries to offer only services that it can provide at lower prices than other facilities. It is largely funded by donations, as the $42 fee charged for first-time patients and $28 for subsequent visits account for less than half of its operating costs.
The clinic uses a lot of KU students as volunteers to answer phones, do filing and assist with patient care. The volunteering cuts the clinic's costs and allows pre-med and pre-nursing students a chance to get hands-on experience. This semester, the clinic has 18 student volunteers.
average it sees about 400 patients per month.
Pat Mayo, a registered nurse and one of two paid staff members at the clinic, said he really enjoyed having students around the clinic.
- "They're fun," Mayo said. "I hope I will always, always have a job where I can work with students."
The students are trained on how to take blood pressure, interview patients before they see the doctor and perform basic laboratory tests.
Heidi Waldschmidt, Derby freshman, has been volunteering at Heartland since the beginning of the semester and usually comes every Monday afternoon. She said that volunteering at the clinic had confirmed her desire to go into the medical profession.
"You get to see a lot and it's medical experience," Waldschmidt said. "They're really good about teaching us things and showing us things and letting us participate."

Who's Who at KU
Isaac Dill Parking officer
BY ERIN CASTANEDA
editor@kansan.com
KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
Isaac Dill, Lawrence senior, has been a parking officer for five years.
He said it was the first job he applied for when he came to KU.
Q: What is the biggest misconception about the parking department?
F
ID: The biggest misconception is that we enjoy our work. It's just something you have to do, but we are ticketing the car, not the people. There are lots of jobs that can do harm, such as
a fast-food burger restaurant; it makes people fat, a bank controls your money.
Q: How do you feel about the parking lot development by the Lied Center?
ID: I don't think building lots is a step in the right direction. Those students may have an uproar about this, I think they should limit those living in residence halls, and if they are freshman they shouldn't have a car. There are lots of other Big 12 universities that do that. I think emphasis should be placed on alternatives such as improving the bus system rather than taking up space with more lots.
Q: What makes you different
from the other parking officers?
ID: I am constantly in trouble. I'm not as motivated after working here for five years. I see the light at the end of the tunnel because I'm about to graduate and I'm slowing down here.
Q: Have you ever received a ticket?
ID- Yes, I have had four tickets. It's worse for employees.
Q: What are the weirdest things you've seen?
ID: I've seen people trying to make their own permits. They lost their parking privileges for a year if they get caught.
Q: What's the worst part of the job?
ID: I've been pushed and spit on when I was either ticketing or towing cars. Once we had to tow cars late at night by The Wheel because scholarship hall residents couldn't park and we were receiving a lot of complaints.
Q: What is the best thing about the job?
ID: There are some perks. Whenever I ticket a car that's in a handicap spot I feel good about what I'm doing. You see a hip athletic looking guy get out of a SUV in a handicap spot and see a granny on a walker; it's not fair to the grannies.

ODD NEWS Man mistakenly billed $4000 for four burgers
PALMDALE, Calif. — A quick meal at George Beane's neighborhood Burger King ended up costing a lot more than he expected when he got the $4,334.33 bill.
Beane ordered two Whopper Jr.s and two Rodeo cheeseburgers when he pulled up to the drive-through window last week. The cashier, however, forgot that she'd entered the $4.33 charge on his debit card and punched in the numbers again without erasing the original ones — thus creating a four-figure bill.
The electronic charge went through to George and Pat Beane's checking account Tuesday and left the couple penniless. Their mortgage payment was due and they worried
checks they had written would bounce. Pat Beane said.
Terri Woody, the restaurant manager, said Burger King officials tried to get the charge refunded. But the bank said the funds were on a three-day hold and could not be released, Pat Beane said.
Burger King did not charge the Beanes for their meal, and the couple got their $4,334.33 back on Friday.
"For those three days, those were the most expensive value burgs in history," Pat Beane said.

eHarmony won't find match for married man
EMERYVILLE, Calif. — John Claassen is suing the popular online matchmaker eHarmony for refusing to help him find a
date.The company says there's one good reason for that: He's still married.
Claassen, a 36-year-old lawyer, filed a lawsuit in Alameda County Superior Court, alleging eHarmony abridged his civil rights by refusing to match him up.
He said the company, which has an "unmarried only" policy, broke state law by discriminating against him based on his marital status. He considers himself separated.
Claassen, who is seeking $12,000 in civil penalties, said Monday he expects his divorce to be official in about two months, but that he shouldn't have to wait until then to use eHarmony.
But in an e-mail to Claassen, the company said he would be welcome to join "once your divorce is final."

Boy crawls into vending machine to get to toys

Colleen Bighley, holds her pug, "Buck," in Forest Lake, Minn. After the 2-year-old pug was hit by a car last week and broke three legs, its owners were faced with a $3,000 surgery bill they couldn't afford. Colleen Bighley shared her grief on a pug-lovers' Web site and 14 minutes after Bighley's post, a pug owner in Australia offered to donate money for the surgery. Others followed, and more than 200 donations totaling about $2,000 came in, from as far as France and Alaska.

A KU student won a prestigious Harry S. Truman Scholarship providing up to $30,000 for students going into leadership in public service, the University announced Tuesday.
The five buses would be used to operate the new Park and Ride lot currently under construction on West Campus. The Kansan previously reported that the lot would be in operation by the beginning of the Fall 2006 semester.
A memo from Cliff Galante, transit administrator for the City of Lawrence, stated that the buses would be purchased from Optima Bus Company for $269,601 each. Funds from the Federal Transit Administration would cover 80 percent of the total, and the University would pay for the remaining 20 percent.

NATIONAL SPELLING BEE
Two Kansans spell their way to D.C.
Anthony S. Bush/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
46 JOHNSON ALLEN
Aishwarya Pastapur, 10, of Johnson County, Kan., left returns the second place medal she was awarded and Kent Toland, 13, Allen County, Kan., center, returns the first place medal he was awarded Saturday during the Kansas Spelling Bee at the White Concert Hall in Topeka. A challenge was made and the two spellers had to spell a few new words, making Aishwarya and Kent co-champions.
Discrepancy allows for two champions
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 29, 2006
TOPEKA — Normally, the All-Kansas Spelling Bee is a winner-take-all affair.
But after a disputed finish Saturday, officials have decided to send two competitors to the national contest in Washington.
Fourteen-year-old Kent Toland, of Iola, was the first announced winner, beating out Olathe fifth-grader Aishwarya Pastapur. But there was a problem.
Aishwarya, 10, had misspelled "pestle." Kent got it right and then spelled "trigonometry" for the apparent win — tying his brother, Scott, who won two titles several years ago.
But Aishwarya's father, Eshwar Pastapur, protested that his daughter had been given the wrong primary pronunciation of "pestle" (the "t" is silent).
"I was like, 'Hmm, that's strange. I don't know this word," said Aishwarya, who guessed at "P-E-S-T-L-E-". "It was a foreign word to me."
Kent had asked for a secondary pronunciation, and so heard the word the right way. He spelled his last word before Aishwarya's father could lodge his appeal, but the judges ruled that she should be allowed to continue anyway.
"Before we knew it, they start- ed taking these medals off these children's necks," said Kent's mother, Karen Toland.
The ruling caught Kent off guard, too.
"I felt not ready to spell anymore," he said Monday. "I was ready to go home and relax. Any spelling bee is just a marathon."
Kent missspelled his next word, "hypolimnion." Aishwarya gave it right, then correctly spelled "teleological" for the
victory. This time, the Tolands protested, but to no avail. The first-place medal went to Aishwarya.
"It was hard to watch the kids go through that," said Christy Underwood, sales manager of The Salina Journal and one of the judges. "I won. No, I didn't. Maybe I won. I don't know.' It was hard to watch the kids go through that emotional struggle."
But on Monday, The Topeka Capital-Journal, which has hosted the state contest for the past 53 years, appealed to officials at Scripps Howard, sponsor of the national bee.
Officials there decided to declare Aishwarya and Kent
co-champions, inviting both to the national finals May 31 June 1.
"We are pleased that both children get to represent Kansas in the national bee," said Terri Benson, the newspaper's director of marketing. "They are both exceptional spellers, and we are pleased with the outcome."
Both families remain convinced they have the rightful winner — but for now, there is another competition to prepare for.
"It's all about the kids," said Bharati Pastapur, Aishwarya's mother. "And two good kids are going from one state."
Exceptions are possible on a case-by-case, basis, said Paige Kimble, director of the Scripps National Spelling Bee.
The rules do not limit each
state to one competitor, but normally each qualifying bee can have only one winner.
"If we feel that the judges erred procedurally in such a manner that it is irreparable, if there is not a way to sort out who could or should have won, we will declare co-champions in the interest of the children," Kimble said.
Kansas will have a third representative in Washington, after 9-year-old Kayya Shivashankar — also a fifth grader — won the Olathe School District's qualifying bee.
Heartland CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
On the other hand, Elizabeth Tomlin, Overland Park senior, is a psychology major and has no intentions of pursuing a medical career. She started volunteering after she broke her foot and followed a recommendation that she go to Heartland because it offered cheaper X-rays. She was impressed by her experience at the clinic.
"Everybody who works here genuinely cares about the people who come in," Tomlin said. "They're not just another patient, they know their names."
Though Heartland Church, where Tomlin worships, and the clinic only share a name by coincidence, the clinic did start as a Christian-based ministry, operating for a half day a week out of a hallway in the church.
Dennis Sale, the doctor who founded the clinic, works two other jobs so that he can donate his time to the clinic three days a week.
Although the clinic is ministry-based and geared to provide for low-income or uninsured people, they will see people of any faith or income level. When patients choose to pay for their visit with insurance that usually helps to cover the cost of a patient who could not afford to pay.
"I feel it's my ministry and that's why I do it," he said. "If I didn't feel that way I certainly don't need the extra hours and stress."

Quinlan said those trying to quit should surround themselves with as many supportive allies as possible. Within her circle, two members have quit smoking.
Patty Quinlan, nursing supervisor at Watkins, quit smoking last month with the support of her circle. Quinlan, who calls herself a "professional quitter" and has tried to quit before, said having a named group of supporters, was one of the things that made this attempt successful.
Studie Red Corn, Shawnee sophomore and presidential candidate of Delta Force, said that it took a lot of dedication to be in Senate and run for office, but that you had to keep the campaign separate from Senate. He said during Delta Force's candidate training they addressed the issue.
"We incorporate ethical standards in to our candidate training," he said. "This includes things like interacting with our opponents in a respectful manner, in and out of Student Senate. We believe that divisions in Senate should not get in the way of helping the student body."

Mark Thompson, assistant professor of health, sport and exercise science, said most estimates of the number of smokers were low because social smokers did not consider themselves true smokers. As many as 30 percent of college smokers did not admit it, he said.
Smith said many anti-smoking messages fell on deaf ears. College-aged students were the youngest to which tobacco companies can market and make up the largest group of smokers in the United States, she said.
Herken said she tried to quit smoking in the past, but other things interfered with her plans. Graduation might bring enough change to help meet that goal, she said.

Bush names new chief of staff

President Bush conflushes with Josh Bolton aboard Air Force One enroute to Portland, Maine, in January 2002. Bush named Botten, Director of the Office of Management and Budget, as chief of staff to succeed Andrew Card, on Tuesday.
BY TERENCE HUNT
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Struggling to revive his troubled presidency, President Bush replaced longtime chief of staff Andy Card with budget director Joshua Bolten on Tuesday and gave Bolten authority to make further changes in a White House staff that even Republicans have complained is tired, insular and lacking fresh ideas.
Appearing with Bush in the Oval Office, Bolten gave no hint about what, if any, shake-up he might order. But White House
officials said no one should doubt his ability to replace Bush aides. "He'll have all the authority he needs ... to make the decisions that he feels best, working with the president," White House spokesman Scott McClellan said.
Like Card, Bolten, 51, is a Washington insider whose ties reach back to Bush's 2000 campaign for the White House. Democrats — as well as some Republicans — grumbled that the new White House boss looked a lot like the old one.
directness, who's comfortable with responsibility and knows how to lead. No person is better prepared for this important position."
Before being named budget director in 2003, Bolten was Card's deputy chief of staff for policy, a colleague of such senior aides as Karl Rove and Dan Bartlett.
Alarmed by Bush's falling approval ratings and White House mistakes — from the bungled Hurricane Katrina reaction to the ill-fated deal to allow an Arab company to manage U.S. ports — Republicans have been
urging the president to bring in new advisers with fresh energy. The GOP's concerns have been heightened by anxiety over midterm congressional elections in November, Card, as chief of staff, became a target for blame.
Said Democratic National Committee communications director Karen Finney: "As the saying goes, you can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig. Unfortunately for the American people, all President Bush did today was make it clear that they should expect nothing more than the same failed policies they have come to know."

Enron trial advances; defense to make case
BY KRISTEN HAYS
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOUSTON — Federal prosecutors rested their fraud and conspiracy case Tuesday against former Enron Corp, chiefs Kenneth Lay and Jeffrey Skilling and dropped four counts against them to streamline an already complicated case.
The defendants appeared undaunted after almost two dozen witnesses bolstered the government's claim that they committed crimes at the energy trading company before it sought bankruptcy protection in December 2001.
"We're looking forward to getting on the stand and getting our case out there — the positive case." Lay told reporters outside the federal courthouse in Houston.
Their defense teams will begin presenting their case in the premier trial to emerge from Enron's rubble on Monday, but other witnesses are likely to be overshadowed by the main event, when Lay and Skilling take the stand.
"We are anxious to get our story told," said lead Skilling lawyer Daniel Petrocelli, his client at his side.
Prosecutors declined comment, as is customary during a high-profile trial.
Lay and Skilling will enter the defense phase a little lighter because U.S. District Judge Sim Lake approved a government request to drop several charges against them for which it had presented no evidence. Two counts of securities fraud and one count of lying to auditors pending against Skilling were dropped, leaving 28 criminal counts against him; and a single count of securities fraud against
Lay was dropped, leaving six in his case.
Lake denied routine requests from the defense for acquittal.
The dropped counts against Skilling stemmed from allegations the former chief executive signed a fraudulent quarterly report submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission; lied about Enron's health during a first-quarter earnings conference call; and signed a statement to auditors that vouched for fudged financial statements.
The count against Lay that was dropped grew from allegations the company founder lied to analysts about Enron's finances during a conference call.
Lay also faces a separate case related to his personal banking. In one count of bank fraud and three counts of lying to banks, prosecutors allege he obtained $75 million in loans from three banks and then reneged on an agreement with the lenders that he wouldn't use the money to carry or buy Enron stock on margin. That case will be tried without a jury before Lake, beginning while jurors in the current Enron trial begin what are expected to be lengthy deliberations.
Prosecutors say Lay and Skilling repeatedly lied about the energy company's financial health when they allegedly knew accounting maneuvers propped up an image of success.
The government built its case on the recollections of witnesses, audiotapes of conference calls with Wall Street analysts and videotapes of employee meetings.
It often lacked tungible proof such as e-mails, documents or notes. Neither Lay nor Skilling was known to use e-mail at Enron.

Union leery of immigrants
BY DAVID ESPO
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The nation's largest labor organization on Tuesday criticized plans to expand guest worker programs for immigrants seeking to come to the United States, parting company with longtime Senate Democratic allies who pushed successfully to include them in broad-based immigration legislation.
"Guest worker programs are a bad idea and harm all workers," AFL-CIO President John Sweeney said in a statement released the day after the Senate Judiciary Committee cleared an immigration bill. "They cast workers into a perennial second-class status, and unfairly put their fates into their employers' hands."
Sweeney's statement praised numerous provisions of the overall immigration legislation, particularly a part that gives illegal aliens an opportunity to apply for citizenship. Still, his criticism underscored the unusual political pressures at work as President Bush and Congress grapple with an emotional issue in the run-up to midterm elections.
Republicans have long appeared divided over the immigration issue, with Bush and some GOP members of Congress supporting temporary worker programs that other Republicans attack as amnesty for lawbreakers.
On the other hand, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.) a longtime liberal, was the target of good-natured jokes during the committee meeting for his work with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce on the immigration measure. And while Sweeney criticized the temporary worker program, the Service Employees
International Union issued a statement supporting the Judiciary Committee measure.
The legislation, to be debated on the Senate floor beginning Wednesday, includes two provisions that together could create room for nearly 2 million temporary workers.
One is a five-year temporary program for up to 1.5 million agricultural workers advanced by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) Immigrants living in the U.S. illegally as well as those outside the country would be eligible.
The other, backed by Kennedy, would create a new temporary visa to allow as many as 400,000 foreign workers into the country.
In both cases, individuals would have an opportunity to apply for citizenship after several years.
All eight Democrats on the Judiciary Committee supported both guest worker provisions on Monday, and all of them frequently work in concert with organized labor.
Feinstein said during the committee meeting that the agriculture industry was "almost entirely dependent on undocumented workers," a reference to individuals in the country illegally. She described her proposal as an attempt to assure a legal workforce. "The people are here. They're going to work regardless," she said of thousands of illegal immigrants who pick crops.
Kennedy, arguably labor's strongest voice in Congress, noted that the proposal "has the support of agribusiness and farm workers." Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont, another longtime ally of labor, said he, too, was satisfied with the program, noting that it had provisions that would help his state's dairy industry.
Sen. Charles Schumer of New York added that he had no difficulty with the provision, either, as long as there were no problems associated with farms in his state. The New York Democrat is chairman of the party's senatorial committee, which relies on labor's support.
Sweeney saw things differ-
ently.
"Guest worker programs encourage employers to turn good jobs into temporary jobs at reduced wages and diminished working conditions and contribute to the growing class of workers laboring in poverty," he said.
Sweeney issued his statement as White House spokesman Scott McClellan told reporters that Bush wants a temporary worker program included in any immigration measure that clears Congress. "Because what a temporary worker program would do is help relieve pressure on the border. It will allow our law enforcement officials and Border Patrol agents to focus on those who are coming here for the wrong reasons, the criminals and the drug dealers and the terrorists." he said.
The House has yet to pass legislation dealing with immigration issues involving workers, although it has approved a bill that calls for building a fence along 700 miles of the border with Mexico.
Majority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) who voted to approve the fence project, indicated he may change his mind based on a recent trip to the Southwest. He told reporters he had met with farmers as well as law enforcement officials and "no one in the room thought the wall would work, because if you build the wall, then you have to police the wall."

It's that time of year again, when you get attacked repeatedly by determined Student Senate candidates when walking across campus. No, you do not want their flier.

Short of making you watch propaganda films Clockwork Orange-style, they are trying to inform you about the issues they are working on. Why are they doing this? Besides an almost unhealthy enthusiasm for senate, they do this because that's the only way they think they will get through to you. And they're almost right. How many times have you said to yourself, "Why, I do say, what are those platforms the coalitions are running on this year?"
DECIDED
IMMIGRATION
Not often. Most likely, you could care less and just wait for the elections to blow over. But think about the aftermath, when these coalitions get elected and, heaven forbid, they DO make changes. You know the implementation of the paperless ticket system for the men's basketball season this year? What about the increase in student fees? All of that was decided by the current senate. It doesn't matter how you feel about those
So educate yourselves. Instead of giving a stiff arm to every candidate who approaches you, accept one of their fliers. Heck, maybe even glance over it for a few seconds so you actually know what's going on. Now the next step is going to be a bit harder: Vote in the election. So far, the average turnout has been about 15 percent of the student body. Just think: If more people such as yourself voted for the coalition whose platform you identified with, elected senators would see how much support they received for their issues and would have a greater resolve to implement them because the student body has spoken — not whispered — what it wants.

Black History Month prompts reflection
McCollum Hall ARC and the KU Bookstores sponsored an essay contest in honor of Black History Month. This year's theme was "Never too Late to Learn Black History, Our History." Below are the first- and second-place entries.
Regardless of having a star on Hollywood's "Walk of Fame," Oscar Micheaux has practically been cut out of film history.
This seems all too strange, considering the man pioneered African-American cinema and his influence is evident in the films of modern African-American filmmakers such as Spike Lee, John Singleton and Melvin Van Peebles.
Alas, Michaeaux's name is one that rarely pops up in film history courses or everyday discussion of African-American film. Some of the most astute film students have never heard of him.
This is all too distressing, considering that Micheau was the first African-American to produce and direct a feature film, "The Homesteader," in 1919.
In just less than 30 years, between 1919 and 1948, Micheaux made 44 films. Even though most of them had staggeringly low budgets, he still managed to produce at least one film per year. The films featured all or mostly black casts and were specifically geared toward African-American audiences. This is important: Major motion pictures at the time scarcely featured African Americans, and when they did, they were mainly designated to roles as servants or stereotypical "Uncle Tom" or foolish characters that could not be taken seriously at all and blatantly perpetuated stereotypes of blacks being lazy, unintelligible and unintelligent.
Micheaux not only created films as entertainment for blacks,putting African-American actors in roles similar to popular mainstream actors and actresses,but also made films that dealt with racism.
Micheaux's second feature "Within
Our Gates" was made in response to D.W. Griffith's revolutionary film "The Birth of a Nation," which depicted the Ku Klux Klan rising and saving the South. The film featured the most violently racist and horrific African-American stereotypes in film history."Within Our Gates" was quickly banned in Chicago; "The Birth of a Nation" was heavily promoted. People dressed up like Klan members on the streets promoting the movie.
"Within Our Gates" challenged all these notions of racism, which America was so eager to accept because of "The Birth of a Nation"technical achievements in filmmaking.
It was Micheaux and films like "Within Our Gates" that helped obtain African-American rights in cinema.
He proved that African Americans could play roles besides fools and servants and were just as capable of carrying a film as white Hollywood stars.
Micheaux sowed the seeds for African-American film, which became fully realized when Spike Lee made "Do the Right Thing." Although it was released 70 years after Micheaux released his first film, it finally put race and racism in the spotlight.
Micheaux was a pioneer, a maverick who went against the system to give African Americans a voice in a medium that had betrayed them.
Who knows how long it would have taken if Micheaux didn't go against Hollywood and start making movies of his own to provide a voice for his people.
The history of African Americans is one that is filled with struggle. They have struggled for recognition, for freedom and for equality. However, more important than the struggles of black people is the part of African-American history that is filled with success.
Booker T. Washington said, "Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed."
There are many African Americans who have overcome such obstacles which have made their lives and stories successes. One is Blanche Ketene Bruce.
But Bruce's grandmother knew the importance of education, and she sent one of her children with the master's son while he was being tutored.
Born in Brunswick, Mo., in 1861,
Bruce was named after his uncle, who was
the first African-American U.S. senator.
Bruce's story begins quite a bit before that. Bruce's grandparents were enslaved and not allowed to be formally educated
One of those children was Bruce's mother. When she was able to have her own family, she remembered to instill in them the importance of education. Bruce believed in this whole-heartedly and grew up wanting to educate people. He attended Lincoln University, but because Lincoln was only a two-year university, he could not obtain the teaching certificate that he wanted. So he came and enrolled at the University of Kansas.
Her child would then come home and teach the lessons of the day to all of the other children in the household, giving them the gift of literacy.
In 1885, a decade before the landmark case Plessy v. Ferguson that established the separate but equal doctrine, Bruce became the University's first
Bruce moved to Leavenworth and became the principal of Sumner School. He was the principal for 54 years. Bruce also spent time tutoring students outside of school. According to "Unsung Heroes," a module/museum in Leavenworth, Bruce is known for having tutored 1800 young men for entrance to the military service academies with only three failing to qualify.
Relatives say that he tutored nearly 3000 students at his home.
African-American graduate.
Booker T. Washington is correct in saying that success should only be measured by the obstacles overcome. The obstacles that Bruce overcame — coming from a family that lived during slavery, becoming the first African American graduate of the University — made him a success. He was an even bigger success by being a mentor, educator and role model to students for more than half a century.
Bruce's story is of great importance to black history and also to present-day society. Not only does it show that one must never give up, it also says that if something has never been done before, one should continue to follow his or her dreams. Most importantly, he was taught by his grandmother and mother the importance of education.
Through his actions, both here at the University and in Leavenworth, he taught people that education was of supreme importance. The impact that Bruce's story should have is that in the face of all that society battles — socio-economic problems, prejudice, ignorance, sexism, racism, homophobia — people must put education first.
It is the only thing that will allow anyone to truly overcome.

COMMENTARY
Exercise outside; summer is dawning
Maria Cervantes
ABBY CARTER opinion@kansan.com
Spring break may be finished but don't let that be your excuse to stop working out.
Summer is creeping up and there couldn't be a better time to work out. An even better option is to take your workout outdoors where you can enjoy a fresh perspective, according to Shane magazine.
People get bored working out every day in the same environment, which drives their workouts downhill. Trying something new, like working out outdoors, can be the jumpstart you need.
My favorite outdoor exercise is running stadium stairs. I start with a simple warmup — either walking or jogging a few laps around the track — then I take it to the stairs. When it comes to stadium stairs, the possibilities are endless.
You have numerous options in how to run the stairs and can also incorporate body-weight resistance exercises to amplify your caloric expenditure. You can do anything from running up every stair to hopping up the stairs to walking up backwards, which targets the glutes and hamstrings.
I like to add in pushups with either my hands on the railings or the bench, calf raises — standing on a stair or stadium bench — and tricep dips. You can also do walking lunges around the track and body-weight squats. To make the lungs or squats harder (since you don't have any added weight) you can slow the exercise down to further challenge yourself.
You can also do football-style drills such as shuffles and karaoke runs down the track along with sprints to take it to an even higher level. If you're new, remember to take it slow and work at your own level. Maybe the first time you attempt stadium stairs just walk up them and once you become comfortable with that you can begin running them. Always remember to cool down and stretch before heading home.
Here are some helpful tips when working out in warm weather.
Dress appropriately
— if it's hot, make sure to wear clothes that have breathable fabrics so your body doesn't overheat. Nike has a great drift collection that aids in warm weather workouts.
- Drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration.
◆ Listen to your body — if you get cramps or have trouble breathing, take it down a notch.
Whichever workout you choose to do outside,add variety and make it fun. You can add outside workouts whenever the weather is nice to compliment your inside workouts and add a new twist to your daily routine.

Union leery of immigrants
BY DAVID ESPO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON - The nation's largest labor organization on Tuesday criticized plans to expand guest worker programs for immigrants seeking to come to the United States, parting company with longtime Senate Democratic allies who pushed successfully to include them in broad-based immigration legislation.
"Guest worker programs are a bad idea and harm all workers," AFL-CIO President John Sweeney said in a statement released the day after the Senate Judiciary Committee cleared an immigration bill. "They cast workers into a perennial second-class status, and unfairly put their fates into their employers' hands."
Sweeney's statement praised numerous provisions of the overall immigration legislation, particularly a part that gives illegal aliens an opportunity to apply for citizenship. Still, his criticism underscored the unusual political pressures at work as President Bush and Congress grapple with an emotional issue in the run-up to midterm elections.
Republicans have long appeared divided over the immigration issue, with Bush and some GOP members of Congress supporting temporary worker programs that other Republicans attack as amnesty for lawbreakers.
On the other hand, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.) a longtime liberal, was the target of good-natured jokes during the committee meeting for his work with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce on the immigration measure. And while Sweeney criticized the temporary worker program, the Service Employees
International Union issued a statement supporting the Judiciary Committee measure.
The legislation, to be debated on the Senate floor beginning Wednesday, includes two provisions that together could create room for nearly 2 million temporary workers.
One is a five-year temporary program for up to 1.5 million agricultural workers advanced by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif). Immigrants living in the U.S. illegally as well as those outside the country would be eligible.
The other, backed by Kennedy, would create a new temporary visa to allow as many as 400,000 foreign workers into the country.
In both cases, individuals would have an opportunity to apply for citizenship after several years.
All eight Democrats on the Judiciary Committee supported both guest worker provisions on Monday, and all of them frequently work in concert with organized labor.
Feinstein said during the committee meeting that the agriculture industry was "almost entirely dependent on undocumented workers," a reference to individuals in the country illegally. She described her proposal as an attempt to assure a legal workforce. "The people are here. They're going to work regardless," she said of thousands of illegal immigrants who pick crops.
Kennedy, arguably labor's strongest voice in Congress, noted that the proposal "has the support of agribusiness and farm workers." Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont, another longtime ally of labor, said he, too, was satisfied with the program, noting that it had provisions that would help his state's dairy industry.
Sen. Charles Schumer of New York added that he had no difficulty with the provision, either, as long as there were no problems associated with farms in his state. The New York Democrat is chairman of the party's senatorial committee, which relies on labor's support.
Sweeney saw things differ-ently.
"Guest worker programs "encourage employers to turn good jobs into temporary jobs at reduced wages and diminished working conditions and contribute to the growing class of workers laboring in poverty," he said.
Sweeney issued his statement as White House spokesman Scott McClellan told reporters that Bush wants a temporary worker program included in any immigration measure that clears Congress. "Because what a temporary worker program would do is help relieve pressure on the border. It will allow our law enforcement officials and Border Patrol agents to focus on those who are coming here for the wrong reasons, the criminals and the drug dealers and the terrorists." he said.
The House has yet to pass legislation dealing with immigration issues involving workers, although it has approved a bill that calls for building a fence along 700 miles of the border with Mexico.
Majority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) who voted to approve the fence project, indicated he may change his mind based on a recent trip to the Southwest. He told reporters he had met with farmers as well as law enforcement officials and "no one in the room thought the wall would work, because if you build the wall, then you have to police the wall."

Issue: Student Senate candidate campaigns
Stance: Be informed to better fend off the onslaught of fliers from the coalitions.
It's that time of year again, when you get attacked repeatedly by determined Student Senate candidates when walking across campus. No, you do not want their flier. No, you would not like to hear about their platforms. Yes, you would like to shove them out of the way. Even with your iPod on full blast and both the Ignite and Delta Force buttons on your backpack, they'll find a way to penetrate your defenses and talk to you as you pass on Wescoe Beach.

Short of making you watch propaganda films Clockwork Orange-style, they are trying to inform you about the issues they are working on. Why are they doing this? Besides an almost unhealthy enthusiasm for senate, they do this because that's the only way they think they will get through to you. And they're almost right. How many times have you said to yourself, "Why, I do say, what are those platforms the coalitions are running on this year?"
Not often. Most likely, you could care less and just wait for the elections to blow over. But think about the aftermath, when these coalitions get elected and, heaven forbid, they DO make changes. You know the implementation of the paperless ticket system for the men's basketball season this year? What about the increase in student fees? All of that was decided by the current senate. It doesn't matter how you feel about those

So educate yourselves. Instead of giving a stiff arm to every candidate who approaches you, accept one of their fliers. Heck, maybe even glance over it for a few seconds so you actually know what's going on. Now the next step is going to be a bit harder: Vote in the election. So far, the average turnout has been about 15 percent of the student body. Just think: If more people such as yourself voted for the coalition whose platform you identified with, elected senators would see how much support they received for their issues and would have a greater resolve to implement them because the student body has spoken — not whispered — what it wants.
Become an engaged and informed student. That way, when they try to hand you a flier for the 15th time, you can honestly tell them, "I know your platforms and I'm going to vote. Now shove it."

Black History Month prompts reflection
McCollum Hall ARC and the KU Bookstores sponsored an essay contest in honor of Black History Month. This year's theme was "Never too Late to Learn Black History, Our History." Below are the first- and second-place entries.
Regardless of having a star on Hollywood's "Walk of Fame," Oscar Micheaux has practically been cut out of film history.
This seems all too strange, considering the man pioneered African-American cinema and his influence is evident in the films of modern African-American filmmakers such as Spike Lee, John Singleton and Melyin Van Peebles.
Alas, Micheaux's name is one that rarely pops up in film history courses or everyday discussion of African-American film. Some of the most astute film students have never heard of him.
This is all too distressing, considering that Michaels was the first African-American to produce and direct a feature film. "The Homesteader," in 1919.
In just less than 30 years, between 1919 and 1948, Micheaux made 44 films. Even though most of them had staggeringly low budgets, he still managed to produce at least one film per year. The films featured all or mostly black casts and were specifically geared toward African-American audiences. This is important: Major motion pictures at the time scarcely featured African Americans, and when they did, they were mainly designated to roles as servants or stereotypical "Uncle Tom" or foolish characters that could not be taken seriously at all and blatantly perpetuated stereotypes of blacks being lazy, unintelligible and unintelligent.
Micheaux not only created films as entertainment for blacks, putting African-American actors in roles similar to popular mainstream actors and actresses, but also made films that dealt with racism.
Micheaux's second feature "Within
Our Gates" was made in response to D.W. Griffith's revolutionary film "The Birth of a Nation," which depicted the Ku Klux Klan rising and saving the South. The film featured the most violently racist and horrific African-American stereotypes in film history. "Within Our Gates" was quickly banned in Chicago; "The Birth of a Nation" was heavily promoted. People dressed up like Klan members on the streets promoting the movie.
"Within Our Gates" challenged all these notions of racism, which America was so eager to accept because of "The Birth of a Nation" technical achievements in filmmaking.
It was Micheaux and films like "Within Our Gates" that helped obtain African-American rights in cinema.
Micheaux sowed the seeds for African-American film, which became fully realized when Spike Lee made "Do the Right Thing." Although it was released 70 years after Micheaux released his first film, it finally put race and racism in the spotlight.
He proved that African Americans could play roles besides fools and servants and were just as capable of carrying a film as white Hollywood stars.
Micheaux was a pioneer, a maverick who went against the system to give African Americans a voice in a medium that had betrayed them.
Who knows how long it would have taken if Micheaux didn't go against Hollywood and start making movies of his own to provide a voice for his people.
an Hrabe is an Olathe sophomore in theater and film. His essay placed first in the contest.
The history of African Americans is one that is filled with struggle. They have struggled for recognition, for freedom and for equality. However, more important than the struggles of black people is the part of African-American history that is filled with success.
Booker T. Washington said, "Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed."
There are many African Americans who have overcome such obstacles which have made their lives and stories successes. One is Blanche Ketene Bruce.
Born in Brunswick, Mo., in 1861,
Bruce was named after his uncle, who was
the first African-American U.S. senator.
Bruce's story begins quite a bit before that. Bruce's grandparents were enslaved and not allowed to be formally educated
But Bruce's grandmother knew the importance of education, and she sent one of her children with the master's son while he was being tutored.
Her child would then come home and teach the lessons of the day to all of the other children in the household, giving them the gift of literacy.
One of those children was Bruce's mother. When she was able to have her own family, she remembered to instill in them the importance of education. Bruce believed in this whole-heartedly and grew up wanting to educate people. He attended Lincoln University, but because Lincoln was only a two-year university, he could not obtain the teaching certificate that he wanted. So he came and enrolled at the University of Kansas.
In 1885, a decade before the landmark case Plessy v. Ferguson that established the separate but equal doctrine, Bruce became the University's first
African-American graduate.
Bruce moved to Leavenworth and became the principal of Sumner School. He was the principal for 54 years. Bruce also spent time tutoring students outside of school. According to "Unsung Heroes," a module/museum in Leavenworth, Bruce is known for having tutored 1800 young men for entrance to the military service academies with only three failing to qualify.
Booker T. Washington is correct in saying that success should only be measured by the obstacles overcome. The obstacles that Bruce overcame — coming from a family that lived during slavery, becoming the first African American graduate of the University — made him a success. He was an even bigger success by being a mentor, educator and role model to students for more than half a century.
Relatives say that he tutored nearly 3000 students at his home.
Bruce's story is of great importance to black history and also to present-day society. Not only does it show that one must never give up, it also says that if something has never been done before, one should continue to follow his or her dreams. Most importantly, he was taught by his grandmother and mother the importance of education.
Through his actions, both here at the University and in Leavenworth, he taught people that education was of supreme importance. The impact that Bruce's story should have is that in the face of all that society battles
— socio-economic problems, prejudice,
ignorance, sexism, racism, homophobia
— people must put education first.
It is the only thing that will allow anyone to truly overcome.

COMMENTARY
Exercise outside; summer is dawning
ABBY CARTER
opinion@kansan.com
Spring break may be finished but don't let that be your excuse to stop working out.
Summer is creeping up and there couldn't be a better time to work out. An even better option is to take your workout outdoors where you can enjoy a fresh perspective, according to Shane magazine.
People get bored working out every day in the same environment, which drives their workouts downhill. Trying something new, like working out outdoors, can be the jumpstart you need.
My favorite outdoor exercise is running stadium stairs. I start with a simple warmup — either walking or jogging a few laps around the track — then I take it to the stairs. When it comes to stadium stairs, the possibilities are endless.
You have numerous options in how to run the stairs and can also incorporate body-weight resistance exercises to amplify your caloric expenditure. You can do anything from running up every stair to hopping up the stairs to walking up backwards, which targets the elites and hamstrings.
I like to add in pushups with either my hands on the railings or the bench, calf raises — standing on a stair or stadium bench and tricep dips. You can also do walking lunges around the track and body-weight squats. To make the lunges or squats harder (since you don't have any added weight) you can slow the exercise down to further challenge yourself.
You can also do football-style drills such as shuffles and karaka runs down the track along with sprints to take it to an even higher level. If you're new, remember to take it slow and work at your own level. Maybe the first time you attempt stadium stairs just walk up them and once you become comfortable with that you can begin running them. Always remember to cool down and stretch before heading home.
Here are some helpful tips when working out in warm weather:
Dress appropriately
— if it's hot, make sure to wear clothes that have breathable fabrics so your body doesn't overheat. Nike has a great drift collection that aids in warm weather workouts.
- Drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration.
- Listen to your body — if you get cramps or have trouble breathing, take it down a notch.
Whichever workout you choose to do outside, add variety and make it fun. You can add outside workouts whenever the weather is nice to compliment your inside workouts and add a new twist to your daily routine.

WAR ON TERROR
Moussaoui role in 9/11 clouded
BY MATTHEW BARAKAT THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ALEXANDRIA, Va. — Two more high-ranking al-Qaida operatives cast doubt on whether Zacarias Moussaoui was involved in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, with one portraying him as a misfits who refused to follow orders, in testimony Tuesday at his death penalty trial.
The testimony of both was read to the jury, in one case because the witness is a captive whom the U.S. government did not want to appear in court.
One terrorist, identified as Sayi al-Adl, a senior member of al-Qaida's military committee, stated sometime between Sept. 1, 2001, and late July 2004, that Moussaiau was "a confirmed jihadist but was absolutely not going to take part in the Sept. 11, 2001, mission." The 9/11 Commission reported that the U.S. had recovered from a safehouse in Pakistan a letter written by al-Adl describing the various candidates considered for the Sept. 11 attacks.
The other — Waleed bin Attash, often known simply as Khalallad — is considered the mastermind of the 2000 suicide attack on the USS Cole and an early planner of the Sept. 11, 2001, plot. He said he knew of no part that Moussaoui was to have played in the 9/11 attacks. Khalallad was captured in April 2003.
Their testimony backs up the claims of Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, chief organizer of the 9/11 attacks. He said
in testimony read to the jury Monday that Moussaoui had nothing to do with the plot but was to have been used for a second wave of attacks distinct from Sept. 11.
Moussaoui said for the first time Monday that he was supposed to pilot a fifth plane in the 9/11 plot and attack the White House. He had previously denied a role in 9/11 and claimed to be part of a different plot.
The defense introduced an array of written testimony from these captives that was read to the jurors in an effort to undercut Moussaoui's dramatic testimony Monday that he was to hijack a fifth plane on Sept. 11 and fly it into the White House. His lawyers were trying to undo damage he might have done to himself when he testified against their wishes.
For example, he called Khalad daily, despite instructions to call only in an emergency, to the point where Khalad turned his cell phone off.
Khalall portrayed Moussaoui as something of a loose cannon during a trip to Malaysia in 2000, where he met members of a radical group affiliated with al-Qaida. Khallad said Moussaoui breached security measures and al-Qaida protocol.
Another witness, Mustafa Ahmed al-Hawsawi, said he had seen Moussaoui at an al-Qaida guesthouse in Kandahar, Afghanistan, in the first half of 2001, but was never introduced to him or conducted operations with him.

Cold War-era defense secretary dies
BY ELIZABETH WHITE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Caspar W. Weinberger, who oversaw the Pentagon's biggest peacetime spending increase as President Reagan's defense secretary and later was indicted for his role in the Iran-Contra affair, died Tuesday. He was 88.
Weinberger had been hospitalized in Bangor, Maine, with a high fever and pneumonia brought on by his age, according to his son, Caspar Weinberger Jr.
"He left the U.S. armed forces stronger, our country safer and the world more free," said Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld.
Weinberger served as President Nixon's budget director and was given the nickname "Cap the Knife" for his efforts to slash government spending. Yet Weinberger's best-known role may have been as Reagan's defense secretary, when the classic cold warrior presided over a cumulative $2 trillion in military spending.
Determined to ensure U.S. strategic strength to counter the Soviet Union, Weinberger pushed Congress to fund such programs as the Strategic Defense Initiative, Midgetman and MX missiles, B-1B bombers and stealth aircraft.
But it was also during this time that reports surfaced of excesses at the Pentagon, from $600 toilet seats to $400 hammers. Cartoonists had a field day portraying Weinberger with
"His legacy is a strong and free America, and for this and
for a lifetime of selfless service, a grateful nation thanks him," former first lady Nancy Reagan said Tuesday.
Supporters contended the defense buildup helped cause the collapse of the Soviet Union.
toilet seats around his neck.
In a Feb. 10, 1986, interview with The Washington Post, Reagan defended his defense secretary. "That's the same price that TWA and Delta and United pay. It is a molded cover for the entire toilet system. And, yes, it does cost about that much."
A lifelong Republican, Weinberger's early interest in politics and
Weinberger, 75 at the time, had been scheduled to stand trial in less than two weeks on charges that he concealed thousands of pages of his handwritten notes from congressional investigators and prosecutors.

government — sparked by his father, a lawyer — led him to the Pentagon and White House.
But his work also led to a trouble — federal felony charges stemming from his alleged role in the sale of weapons to Iran to finance secret, illegal aid to the Nicaraguan Contras.
He'd earlier rejected independent counsel Lawrence Walsh's plea-bargain offer to testify against his longtime friends and colleagues — including Reagan — and plead guilty to a misdemeanor.
The "arms-for-hostages" affair poisoned the closing years of Reagan's administration and permanently stained the reputations of the insiders involved.
Donald H. Rumsfeld Defense Secretary
In one of the first President Bush's final official acts after his 1992 loss to Bill Clinton, he granted Christmas Eve pardons to Weinberger and five others accused in the affair. Bush was Reagan's vice president.
Weinberger had said he was, innocent of all the charges and considered the indictment a political attack.
After the pardon was announced, Walsh alleged that "the Iran-Contra
cover-up, which has continued for more than six years, has now been completed."
Weinberger's son said Tuesday, "My father was just a world diplomat, a No. I great American patriot. He always stayed the course. He always had beliefs, he held to those beliefs."
In 1989, Weinberger, a self-described "frustrated newspaperman" — he was president of the Harvard Crimson — joined Forbes to become the magazine's fourth publisher. In 1993 he was named chairman of Forbes Inc.
Weinberger occasionally spoke out on current affairs in recent years. In 1996, he criticized then-Defense Secretary William J. Perry for refusing to
announce publicly that the U.S. would defend Taiwan If China fired missiles at the island.
He told a Nebraska group in 1999 that despite victories in the Cold War and Gulf War, the United States still faced threats
Graduating?
"Peace alone is not enough. Peace can even mean slavery sometimes. Peace and freedom is what we have to have." Weinberger said.
In 1983, he argued that a force of U.S. Marines stationed at Beirut's airport was too small and lightly armed, calling them a "disaster waiting to happen." On Oct. 22, 1983, 241 Marines and sailors were killed in attacks on the barracks.
In an interview with PBS' "Frontline" in late September 2001, Weinberger said, "The fact that I had been warning against this very thing didn't give me any slight satisfaction, I can assure of that. It was terrible to be proven right under such horrible circumstances."
Born Aug. 18, 1917, in San Francisco, Weinberger attended Harvard, graduating in 1938 and getting his law degree from Harvard in 1941. He served in the infantry in the Pacific in World War II.
He began his political career in 1952 in the California Legislature, where he took on and cleaned up a corrupt state liquor commission.
Weinberger, who called himself a "fiscal Puritan" and believed budgets should always be balanced, first demonstrated his budget-trimming talents in the late 1960s.

Kansas pride on the line
Jayhawks look to seize state supremacy against visiting WSU Shockers tonight
BY ALISSA BAUER
abauer@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITE
Known for regarding Kansas State and Missouri as major rivals, the Kansas baseball team sees No. 13 Wichita State as its main in-state foe.
"They're always thinking that they're better than us," sophomore second baseman Ryne Price said.
The teams will face off for the 59th time tonight at 7, continuing a series heavily dominated in the past by Wichita State (21-5, 1-2 Missouri Valley Conference), which leads the all-time series 38-20.
Kansas (17-10, 2-4 Big 12 Conference) showed improvement last year. In four meetings, the Jayhawks split the series with the Shockers, two games apiece.
"I think everybody gets up
for this game," sophomore outfielder Brock Simpson said. "It's kind of a battle of the best team in Kansas. It's a great in-state rivalry. We get just as up for Wichita State as we do for any series in the Big 12."
R.B.M.
Junior righthander Brendan McNamara (0-0, 3.86 ERA) will take the mound for the Jayhawks after tossing a pair of scoreless innings in Kansas's victory against No. 3
McNamara
Nebraska last Sunday. Opposite him will be sophomore leffay Max Hutson (3-0, 3.06 ERA) for the Shockers.
With the Missouri series looming this weekend, Kansas coach Ritch Price will have his starter on a pitch count and, in the event senior closer Don
Czzy is needed, he will only be called upon for one inning.
"The reality of it is that we've got to win the series against Missouri." Price said.
That doesn't mean he will overlook tonight's game by any means. Price mentioned that his team's success in midweek games would determine whether Kansas would make a trip to the NCAA tournament in June. Wichita State, the most successful baseball program in the nation over the past 29 years, would be a tough team to overlook anyway.
Second baseman Damon Sublett entered the Shockers' game last night against the No. 10 Arkansas Razorbacks on an 11-game hitting streak. The sophomore has led the offense with a .435 batting average and 22 RBL.

The Border Showdown will be a lot more interesting in the coming years, because Missouri finally got something right. The school hired a proven coach who can take the basketball program to the next level. Anderson took University of Alabama-Birmingham to the NCAA tournament in each of his last three seasons as the team's coach. Missouri hasn't been to the tournament since 2002.

The recent coaching hirings of Mike Anderson at Missouri and Bob Huggins at Kansas State should come as a welcome surprise to Kansas basketball fans.
Anderson's stated goal at his first press conference last week was to win a national title with the Tigers. You know what they say: Shoot for the moon, and even if you miss you'll land amongst the stars.
Missouri avoided messing the whole thing up by retaining athletics director Mike Alden after administrators met, allegedly to discuss his future. The brass at Missouri would have looked ridiculous had it fired Alden after allowing him to hire its new coach.
As for Kansas State, the Wildcats took a chance when they picked Huggins to try to lead their program out of basketball purgatory. Huggins' questionable past made hiring him a risk, but his success on the court is tough to argue with. He led Cincinnati to 14 consecutive trips to the NCAA tournament before he was canned in 2005 after numerous player arrests, a DUI and the team's 0.0 graduation rate.
After reading water for six years under Jim Wooldridge, the Wildcats will hope to return to the success they enjoyed when going to the NCAA tournament on a consistent basis in the mid-tolate 1980s. With a great recruiter like Huggins in the fold, the 'Cats should give the Jayhawks plenty of tough battles in the future.

Kansas hammers past UMKC

KANSAN SPORTSWRIVER
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — For Serena Settlemier, throwing a shutout the first game wasn't enough.
She helped Kansas at the plate as well with a home run in the first inning and a grand slam in the second inning of Kansas' 19-0 smothering of UMKC Tuesday night. Kansas won the first game as well, 8-0, with Settlemier on the mound.
"I do well when I relax and don't think about the pitches being thrown," Settlemier said. "We experienced slower pitching than we are used to and I just thought about keeping my weight back and getting my hands through the ball."
Kansas softball coach Tracy Bunge said the team found its confidence late in the first game, which carried over to
the second game of the doubleheader in Kansas City; Mo.
"When Serena Settlemier, who is on fire right now, comes out and hits a two-run

Hoosiers may hire Sampson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BY MICHAEL MAROT THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
INDIANAPOLIS — Oklahoma coach Kelvin Sampson and Indiana were completing contract details Tuesday that would make him the Hoosiers' next basketball coach, a person close to the negotiations told The Associated Press.
The deal was expected to be announced shortly, according to the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity because talks were not complete.
The Sampson-to-Indiana story was first reported by ESPN earlier in the day. Sampson spent the last 12 seasons at Oklahoma, re-establishing the Sooners as a national contender. This year, Oklahoma went 20-9 and lost in the first round of the NCAA tournament to Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
spokesman Pete Rhoda were not immediately returned.
Oklahoma officials declined to comment. Telephone messages left for Indiana athletic director Rick Greenspan and
TOMMY SCHUMMER
The 50-year-old Sampson would replace Mike Davis, who announced Feb. 16 he was resigning after leading the Hoosiers the past six seasons. Davis went 115-79, became the first Indiana coach to win 20 games in each of his first three seasons and led the Hoosiers to the 2002 national championship game just two seasons after Bob Knight was fired.
But when Davis resigned last month, he said he believed Indiana needed a former Hoosier to unify the pro-Knight and anti-Knight factions.
Greenspan apparently took a different approach. He turned down the opportunity to lure Iowa's Steve Alford, a former All-American who led the Hoosiers to the 1987 title.
Texas Tech coach Bob Knight, left, and Oklahoma coach Kelvin Sampson shake hands before a basketball game. Sampson was completing contract details Tuesday that would make him the Hoosiers' next basketball coach.
Sampson's name surfaced late last week after the Sooners were upset in the tournament. His hiring would give the Hoosiers a widely respected coach and proven recruiter. He has been
successful in two major conferences, the Pac-10 and Big 12, once served as president of the National Association of Basketball Coaches and has coached on five national teams.
led the Sooners to 12 straight postseason appearances, including their first Final Four trip in more than a decade. His career record is 455-257. It was Davis' Hoosiers that upset Sampson's Sooners to reach the 2002 national championship game.
In 12 seasons with the Sooners, Sampson went 279-109 and

Higher standards, perks for MU's new coach
COLUMBIA, Mo. — New Missouri basketball coach Mike Anderson will earn a minimum of $850,000 annually over the next five years — as long as he "agrees to be a loyal employee" and doesn't bad-mouth the school.
Those clauses are just some of the conduct requirements spelled out in the 22-page employment contract, which was signed Monday and released to The Associated Press on Tuesday through the state's public records laws.
Anderson, who comes to
Missouri after four years as Alabama-Birmingham coach, will also be expected to:
"Maintain a mature and rational attitude, keep emotions in control and downplay defeats";
—"Establish and maintain a frequent and systematic program of personal communication with the university's administration, faculty, staff and student body";
— "Keep public statements complimentary to the athletic program and the university";
—"Make a minimum of 30 public appearances annually at booster lunches, alumni dinners and similar community events.
No such behavioral requirements, nor a stipulated minimum number of public appearances, are found in the contracts of either Missouri football coach Gary Pinkel or Anderson's predecessor, Quin Snyder, who resigned in mid-February with six regular season games remaining.
Anderson's base salary is less than the $1,015 million a year Snyder earned before he left during his seventh season at Missouri. But the new coach's contract is loaded with more incentives than Snyder had, including an extra $10,000 for reaching at least 20 wins against Division 1 opponents and $25,000 for drawing at least 10,000 paying fans on average
to Mizzou Arena.
Anderson will be allowed up to $20,000 each year in discretionary expenses. He receives a free membership to the Country Club of Missouri and the use of two courtesy cars donated by local dealers—one fewer than Snuder had.
Should he reach all outlined goals, Anderson's yearly salary with incentives would climb to $1.465 million—a sizable increase from his base annual salary of $600,000 at UAB.
University officials were not available Tuesday to discuss the contract. Among the criticisms of
souri after serving as Mike Krzyezewski's top assistant at Duke, was his inaccessibility. Critics complained that Snyder, a native of Washington state, didn't blend in well in the Midwest, unlike his successor Norm Stewart, a Missouri native.
Among the criticisms of Snver, who came to Mis-
An external investigation of the circumstance surrounding Snyder's resignation attributed some of the tension between athletics director Mike Alden and Snyder—by the time Snyder quit the two weren't even on speaking terms—to Snyder's resistance to public appearances "in which Alden thought he should participate."
Jayhawks successful on opening weekend of outdoor season
The outdoor track and field season began for Kansas this past weekend at the Tulsa Duels meet.
TRACK
The Jayhawks were specifically dominant in the field events. Senior thrower and indoor All-American Sheldon Battle won the discus event. Sophomore Cody Roberts placed right behind him in second. Battle's toss was 177-7, while Roberts' was 177 feet.
Senior Brett Terp won the high jump event with a leap of 6-83/4.
On the track, sophomore Julius Jiles won the 110-meter hurdles with a time of 14.12.
Senior Denita Young threw 154-6 for a first place result in the women's javelin. Her effort, combined with that of junior Abby Emsick, who notched a victory in the discus event, led the way for the Jayhawk women.
Wrapping up the day, the Kansas women's 1,600-meter 'A' relay team won its race with a time of 3:45.32.
The team will compete next on April 6 in Austin, Texas, at the Texas Relays.

Sublett also serves as a relief pitcher and has been equally lethal in that role. On the mound, he leads the staff with five saves and a perfect 0.00 ERA. He has not allowed a run, earned or not, in his career as a Shocker.
"It's a huge series for us and I think it always will be," Price said. "And I have incredible respect for what Gene Stephenson's done in his 30 years at Wichita. He's the first coach to take a cold weather team and make them a national power."
Wichita State has slowed signs of weakness, however. It dropped its opening Missouri Valley series to Southern Illinois last weekend. Nonetheless, the Shockers, led by coach Gene Stephenson, are a force to be reckoned with.
For Kansas, the absence of starters Ryne Price and senior
outfielder Matt Baty has forced the Jayhawks to find replacements. Simpson and freshman first baseman Preston Land led the offense last weekend in Nebraska.
Land was the only hitter to get a hit in every game of the series, while Simpson was the catalyst behind the Jayhawks 7-6 victory on Sunday, going 4-for-5 with a triple.
"I've been seeing the ball well even though I seem to get down 0-2 in every at bat," Land said. "When you're seeing the ball well, you're hitting the ball well."
Tonight's game, the first of two this season between the teams, will have the feeling of a Big 12 game, but with a little instate pride on the line.
"We're trying to get to their level," Price said. "We want to be the best team in the state just like they do."

Injuries

Although Kansas won all three games in the Nashville, Tenn., tournament, the loss of Ryne Price and Baty was much more important. In 12 games, Price had already blasted three home runs and tallied 13 RBI. At the leadoff spot for 13 games, Baty was hitting .300 with four doubles and three stolen bases.
"I would imagine it would be next week," coach Ritch Price said of the return of the two starters. "We're going to take it easy on them practice-wise and make sure we don't have any setbacks. If we can get them back on the field by next week, it would be outstanding."
But both players are expecting a quicker return. Ryne Price talked of possibly returning for this weekend's series against Missouri, while Baty discussed being tonight's designated hitter against Wichita State.
Baty's doctor will determine, and tonight's lineup will reveal
whether the senior's optimistic predictions were correct. Baty said on Tuesday that his recovery was three to four weeks ahead of schedule.
"It's just been prayer after prayer for me," Baty said. "I serve a God that can heal me just like that. I just give him all the glory for healing me."
Baty's positive outlook and unwavering faith may be the magic behind his speedy recovery. Ritch Price's respect for his center fielder is obvious, as he played with a badly hurt knee for much of the 2005 season.
"He has incredible faith." Price said of the senior who's been with him each of his four years at Kansas. "He's one of the strongest individuals I have ever been associated with."
It's more than possible the pair of starters will return to the team together.
"We'll see how it goes today," Ryne Price said. "It should be pretty cool."
Coaches
Huggins said he was excited to be a part of the Kansas State program and felt that the situation was very similar to when he took over at Cincinnati. Considering the success he had with the Bearcats, Wildcat fans should be very excited about that statement.

Kansas will always have the premier basketball program among the three schools in this area — no question about it. Kansas's tradition is far greater than that of either Missouri or Kansas State. With these new coaches roaming the sidelines in Columbia and Manhattan, however, the match-ups between the schools will certainly have a more exciting flavor than in recent years. Before you know it, all three teams will be regulars in the NCAA tournament and will be battling each other for the Big 12 title year in and year out.

Fieldhouse

"We are quicker than most teams, so we score a lot off of fast breaks and get easy points," Iverson said.
This should be an interesting facet of the game to keep an eye on, with Phi Psi OHB's efficient outside shooting game.
An attention-grabbing individual match-up will be between Phi Psi OHB'S Harms and Delta Chi's Grant Creighton, Englewood, Colo., senior. They both lead their teams on the floor by setting the pace offensively and playing a hard-nosed style of defense.
Creighton said he has had the pleasure of playing in Allen Fieldhouse three or four times before.
Harms said his team's main goal since the beginning of the season was to get to play in the fieldhouse. Tonight these teams will get the chance to play under one of the most storied basketball venues in the nation.

St. Louis pitcher improving throw
BY DAVID GINSBURG THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.
After throwing five effective innings against the Baltimore Orioles, Jeff Suppan still had one item of business to tend to.
With his upper body virtually encased in ice, the right-hander slipped on a warmup jacket and gave his parents a hug before they headed to the airport for a flight back to California.
In his fifth start this spring, Suppan allowed one run and five hits in five innings. He struck out five and walked none.
"My whole thing was staying in the bottom part of the strike zone, even though the wind's

blowing in," he said. "These guys are a very good hitting team. I got in some jams but was able to minimize the damage, so it felt really good."
He left the game with a 2-1 lead, and his parents ended their three-week visit before the Cardinals gave away the lead.
Fortunately for Suppan, his folks weren't in Florida during his first spring training start — a disaster against the New York Mets in which he gave up nine runs and nine hits in 1 1-3 innings.
"Basically I was throwing fastballs and changeups, and I left the ball up and they did what good hitters do," he said. "Every game you look for improvement, and from that first game I had a lot to improve on."
His performance against the Orioles was his best one yet.

Suppan outpitched Orioles starter Bruce Chen, who allowed two runs and four hits in six innings.
Baltimore pulled ahead with a two-run eighth. Brian Roberts hit a leadoff triple and scored on a single by Luis Matos. Cardinals second baseman Junior Spivey then booted a potential double-play grounder, and Miguel Tejada followed with a grouder to second that Spivey picked up and threw wildly to first, allowing Matos to score the go-ahead run. Juan Encarnacion hit a two-run homer for the Cardinals, who managed only five hits off four Baltimore pitchers.

Nation's 2nd-youngest D-1 football coach starts work at K-State
BY DOUG TUCKER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MANHATTAN — Monday was raw and windy, overcast and cold.
For all Ron Prince knew, it could have been as hot and muggy as those Fourth of July celebrations he recalls from his childhood in nearby Junction City.
On the first day of his first spring practice as head coach at Kansas State, the weather was just about the last thing on the mind of the second-youngest head coach in Division I-A football.
What Prince has worked toward and dreamed of almost all his life has finally arrived. Snatched out of obscurity last fall and named to replace the retiring Bill Snyder, he is now the man in charge.
"He is the leader of the program and he is what you want to be when you're gone and everyone is talking about you," said Raheem Morris, the Wildcats' new defensive coordinator. "He hasn't laid down his legacy yet. But he will."
The son of a discipline-minded career military man, Prince, 36, is following one of the greatest legacies in Kansas State history. It was Snyder who resurrected the long-woeful program in the early '90s and built it into a national contender. When Snyder retired last fall unexpectedly, the field was renamed in his honor and Prince was unknown to just about any Kansas State fan who did not have some tie to Virginia.
But Prince knew what he wanted, and now it is his.
"You have so many moments where you're trying to get to this position and you're thinking
about it." he said Tuesday.
"I've thought about this thing quite a bit so it was good to go out and finally get to do it. It was a lot of fun."
"Somebody said, 'You couldn't have asked for a better day weather-wise.' I didn't even notice. As long as there wasn't lightning, we were going to go out there."
There is much to get done in the 15 practice days that will culminate on April 22 with the annual Purple and White game.
Most critical is making sense of the logjam at quarterback, where no fewer than five possibilities will compete. There is starting experience in Dylan Meier, Allen Webb and Allan Evridge. Also certain to get attention are two highly sought recruits — redshirt freshman Kevin Lopina and Josh Freeman, a true freshman who broke his verbal commitment to Nebraska after Prince was hired.
Picking the right quarterback could go a long way toward deciding how successful Prince's first years will be.
"It's too early to say how that's going to go," Prince said. "I'm just as interested and excited as everybody else to find out who is going to be the quarterback. There are obviously capable candidates, and I think it's going to be an exciting time for everybody.
"The two most visible people are the head football coach and the quarterback."
Starting on a good footing is also important because the Wildcats are coming off their first back-to-back losing seasons since 1989-90, the outset of Snyder's storied turnaround. A new coach and new staff must learn their players, and vice versa.

Ex-Royal returns to Kansas City
MLB
BY HOWARD ULMAN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
FORT MYERS, Fla. — Infielder Tony Graffenino was claimed off waivers Tuesday by the Kansas City Royals, returning to the team that traded him to the Boston Red Sox eight months ago.
"It's a place I'm going where I feel like I'm wanted and I should get decent playing time there," Graffenino said. "This wasn't a good situation for me."
for the Red Sox after being traded July 19, then lost his secondbase job. Boston obtained Mark Loretta from San Diego on Dec. 7 for catcher Doug Mirabelli.
He batted .319 in 51 games
Although Kansas City has second baseman Mark Grudzielanek, Graffanino thinks he should get more playing time elsewhere. But he loved his time in Boston.
"It was probably one of, if not my most favorite place I've ever played," said Graffanino, who also has been with Atlanta, Tampa Bay and the Chicago White Sox. "I loved every minute of it, playing in that stadium (Fenway Park) with those fans."
Graffanino had talked with several teams after last season and was surprised when Boston offered him salary arbitration. That meant any other team that signed him would have had to give the Red Sox a top draft choice.
"All the teams that were talking to me just pulled back," Graffanino said early this
month. He agreed to a one-year, $2.05 million deal that avoided an arbitration hearing but was told early in spring training that the Red Sox would try to send him elsewhere.
"I don't know about soured," Graffanino said. "Ideally, I would have liked for something to have been different and worked out a little sooner and got me into a place where I had a chance to maybe earn a spot on a starting position, but what am I going to complain about?"

**ARIES (March 21-April 19) ****
Your energy could be more depleted than you realize. Still, if you focus, you will experience extraordinary success.

HOROSCOPES
Tonight: A friend proves inspirational and resourceful.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) **
Right now, your perspective could be off and trigger a sense of negativity. No one knows better than you what is necessary to make your life work. You might feel like a partnership is changing in front of your eyes.
Tonight: Easy does it.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) **** You might be overwhelmed by your perspective, as well as by how someone is acting or behaving. You could be a bit uptight, as others are reacting strongly. Give yourself and those around you space.
Tonight. Easy does it.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) ★★★
Everything that is occurring could be telling you to slow down. Though you might be sure you are on the right path, today's happening could indicate otherwise. Be a cynic, and ultimately you will be better off.
Tonight. A must appearance.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)★★ You might sense changes in the offing. Your ability to grasp what might be coming down the path could be defined by your imagination. Don't worry -- just be ready to get off your pedestal and prepare to flex.
Tonight: Relax to a movie or an exotic meal
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) *** Work with others, but don't decide that anything is written in stone. In the next few weeks, you might find that what you thought was a given no longer is. Togetherness might not be the same as what you visualized.
Tonight. Easy does it.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ******
You might not be as sure of yourself as you would like. Listen to feedback regarding a partner. A relationship could be revised.
Consider your options with care in the next few weeks. What you can count on is change.
Tuesday: Others need to help their班.
Tonight: Others need to have their say.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) *\* *
Don't push yourself to do anything that seems contrary or out of whack. Listen well to someone you care about. He or she has a different sense of what works than you do. Consider a new health regime.
Tonight: Put your feet up.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
**★★★* **Pluto**, the planet of transformation, is in your sign, drawing an array of happenings and adventures. Today it does a backward jig. for some of this, you this event might be difficult. You can be sure that something better is on the way.
Tonight: Let your imagination rock and roll.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★★
Somehow you might feel as if you are cut off from others. However, if you go within and hold up a mirror, you will see otherwise.
You might be seeing a situation a lot differently as a result. You could be happier, too.
Tonight: At home.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) *****
You might discover much more about a situation or friendship that you hold close to your heart. Pushing and tugging right now will be fateful. Let information seep through rather than judge.
Tonight. Visit with a pal.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) **★**
Refuse to commit to anything financially, or you could regret the decision in the not so distant future. You can have a far bigger say in your financial development than you have had in the past. Decide so now.
Tonight. Look at your bills.

IN MEMORY
OF... PAUL DANA

Happy Birthday
2000
We Will Miss You !!!
IRL race fan Tim Mincey from West Palm Beach, Fla., displays a sign honoring Paul Dana who was killed at the Homestead-Miami Speedway in Homestead, Fla., Sunday, while driving practice laps for the Toyota Indy 300 auto race.
J. Pat Carter/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
200-mph crash kills IRL driver
BY MIKE HARRIS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The scarred, twisted remains of Paul Dana's No. 17 Panoz race car lay under a tarp Monday at Homestead-Miami Speedway, the biggest clue in a mystery that may never be solved.
Dana died Sunday after sustaining what officials described as "multiple trauma injuries" in a two-car crash during a warmup for the season-opening IRL IndyCar Series race at Homestead.
The league plans to look into the possible causes, but the only thing the computers in Dana's car or the videotape of the crash
— is likely to tell them is that the rookie driver, with all of three IRL races under his belt, kept his foot on the gas until a few tents of a second before impact.
As for why, well — the only person who could likely have answered that question was Dana himself.
Ed Carpenter's spinning car, which had crashed seconds earlier and glanced off a concrete wall, had nearly come to a halt when Dana suddenly appeared, flying off turn two on the 1.5-mile oval.
It appeared Dana never slowed, bearing down like a 200-mph missile — two hours later, he was pronounced dead. While Dana said he was 30 and listed a 1975 birthday in media guides, there were reports that he was actually 32 and born two years earlier.
The wreck left everyone wondering whether Dana even saw the caution lights flashing along the speedway walls, or heard the words of his spotter, who team officials say tried to warn of the danger ahead.
For years, drivers with little experience — and sometimes little talent — have managed to find rides at the top level of open-wheel racing by bringing family money or a sponsor to the table. And in a sport where big dollar sponsors are few and far between these days, buying a ride has become just another part of the game.
Dana wasn't rich, but he found a way to live his dream of racing cars. He worked at a variety of jobs, including mechanic, racing instructor and marketing representative to pay his way up the racing ladder.
He even wrote about auto racing for several national magazines, including Autoweek and Sports Illustrated.
But Dana, a savvy and glib young man who didn't get serious about racing until he was 20, had found sponsorship in Team Ethanol that he could bring to a team. That's how he got his ride with Rahal Letterman Racing, one of the top teams in the IRL.
He did have some success in the Indy Pro Series, the steppingstone series to IndyCar, winning one pole and one race and finishing second in the championship in 2004. But anybody in open-wheel racing will tell you it's a big step up from Indy Pro to IndyCar.
Working with Team Ethanol, Dana got an IndyCar ride in 2005 with Hemelgarn Racing.
At the Homestead opener, he finished a career-best 10th.
Unlike the death of much-beloved NASCAR superstar Dale Earnhardt in the 2001 Daytona 500, Dana's tragic death did not ignite national mourning or a series of safety-related changes.
Stripper claims rape by three Duke athletes
CRIME
BY ERMER P. DALLEY
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BY EMERY P. DALESIO
DURHAM, N.C. — Amid days of campus protests, Duke University officials and police awaited DNA test results on 46 members of the school's highly ranked lacrosse team Tuesday after an exotic dancer claimed she was raped by some of the players.
The case has roiled the campus, raised racial tensions and heightened antagonism between the affluent students at Duke, which costs about $43,000 a year, and the city of Durham, which has a large population of poor people and is about evenly divided between white and black.
"For even a college like Duke, which is in the news a lot, it's not the way you want to be known," said Philip Christoff, a 20-year-old freshman.
The rape was reported two weeks ago. A woman told police she and another dancer were hired to perform at a March
13 private party at a home just off campus. The dancer, a student at North Carolina Central University, told police she was pulled into a bathroom, beaten, choked and raped by three men.
No one has been charged.

"I needed to have the information about who will be charged," said District Attorney Mike Nifong said. "I feel pretty confident that a rape occurred."

"The circumstances of the rape indicated a deep racial motivation for some of the things that were done," Nifong said. "It makes a crime that is

by its nature one of the most offensive and invasive even more so."
Angry over the team members' silence and the university's handling of the case, Durham residents have demonstrated on and off campus in the past few days. They rallied outside the house where the alleged attack
occurred, and gathered outside of Duke provost Peter Lange's home, where they banged on pots and pans until he emerged to answer questions.
Lange said Monday that he believes "the students would be well-advised to come forward. They have chosen not to."
The district attorney said he has asked for the state crime lab to expedite DNA testing since the semester at Duke ends in about six weeks, after which he fears students will scatter from Duke's campus.
A lawyer representing several lacrosse team members did not immediately return calls Tuesday.
The university's athletic director forced the team to forfeit two games because of underage drinking and the hiring of dancers at the party. The losses gave Duke, considered a national title contender before the season began, a 6-4 record with five regular-season games to go.

Cardinal Edmonds toughs out injuries
BY R.B. FALLSTROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
JUPITER, Fla. — In mid-January, when Jim Edmonds mused about getting old and wondering whether any team would want him after his latest contract expires after the 2007 season, it sounded like a joke.
"I was scared at first," Edmonds said. "I thought, 'Oh, it'll go away and for two months it wouldn't. Shaking hands, stupid stuff like that, I was pretty sore."
After all, although his 2005 offensive numbers were his worst in five seasons with the St. Louis Cardinals, his off-year still added up to 29 homers and 89 RBIs, he won his eighth Gold Glove and started in the All-Star Game.
But when he appeared at the annual St. Louis baseball writers' dinner this winter, he said he was unable to pick up a glass of water because of persistent numbness in his right forearm and hand that still bottles him.
An MRI exam last week showed that inflammation near a nerve was causing the problem. It's an injury that Edmonds, 35, can play through, judging from his performance since seeing the doctor.
On Thursday, the Cardinals' lone outfielder holdover had two hits and two RBIs, and robbed J.D. Drew of a home run at Vero Beach against the Dodgers.
"How did he look to you?" manager Tony La Russa asked a reporter. "I'm sure he's got some soreness, but he's able to play and he needs to play."
On Friday, Edmonds hit his first home run of the spring off the Mets' Tom Glavine, even though he said he had experienced more forearm soreness than usual. On Saturday he ran a streak to six consecutive hits, continuing to warm up for the April 3 opener at Philadelphia.
He was hitting .500 in 26 at-bats with a homer and four doubles. Earlier in the spring he was sidelined by a foot injury.
Both he and the Cardinals believe the injury to his glove side stems from a new offseason weight-lifting regimen. Edmonds, who's expected to bat cleanup much of the time this season, said it slowly snuck up on him.
"There really wasn't one thing, it was just over time and trying to do some different workouts," Edmonds said. "They say it's of common to get tennis elbow, and when you're old like me..."
In midwinter, Edmonds was having so much trouble that he flew to St. Louis to have it checked out.
"I had it looked at kind of under the radar and got a cortisone shot and some medicine, and it made it go away for about two weeks," Edmonds said. "And then it came right back."
The pain has become manageable, the worst symptom of which is tingling in his fingers. The most important aspect is it does not affect his swing.
He almost feels bad talking about it. He'd rather this injury to be below the radar, too.
"It's getting a lot of attention because I had to get an MRI." Edmonds said. "It's not really that bad.
"I'm not really concerned baseball-wise, I just would like to have it feel normal or somewhat normal."
Edmonds estimates he's undergone about 60 MRI exams in the last decade, most of them dealing with aching shoulders and knees. This spring alone, he's had two such procedures. Still, he'll play through the pain, trusting team doctors who say he won't aggravate the condition.

THE ASSDCIATED PRESS
First freshman makes AP team
BY CHUCK SCHOFFNER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
In her first college game, Courtney Paris broke loose for 24 points and 10 rebounds — in only 20 minutes.
As it turned out, she was just getting warmed up.
Four months and 33 double doubles later, the Oklahoma center has become the first freshman selected for The Associated Press All-America team in women's basketball.
Augustus was a first-team pick on all 46 ballots from the national media panel that votes in the weekly Top 25, receiving the maximum 230 points. Latta had 39 first-team votes and 210 points, while Pondexter had 36 and 207, Paris 30 and 184
LSU senior Seimone Augustus was the lone unanimous choice on the team released Tuesday, and the only first-team repeater from last year. Also chosen were North Carolina junior Ivory Latta, Rutgers senior Cappie Ponderexter and Baylor senior Sophia Young.
Young 25 and 183.
Since the AP began selecting women's All-America teams in the 1994-95 season, four freshmen had made the second and third teams, including Augustus, a third-team pick in 2003.
A season filled with eye-popping numbers enabled the 6-foot-4 Paris — daughter of former NFL lineman Bubba Paris — to break into the first five.
"It's pretty weird to think that last year you're in high school, and now you get to college a few months later and you get to be with Ivory and all these other guys," Paris said. "It's humbling to be considered in the same group."
The third team included LSU's Sylvia Fowles, Georgia's Tasha Humphrey, DePaul's Khara Smith, Utah's Kim Smith and Temple's Candice Dupree.
Tennessee's freshman sensation, Candace Parker, was voted to the second team, along with Duke's Monique Currie, Ohio State's Jessica Davenport, Stanford's Candice Wiggins and Maryland's Crystal Langhorne.
Paris showed up at Oklahoma with her twin sister, Ashley, and their impact was stunning. After finishing 17-13 last season and barely making the NCAA tournament, the Sooners became the first team to go 16-0 in the Big 12 and were 51-5 overall.
"Without a doubt, she's changed the complexion of everything," Oklahoma coach Sherri Coale said.
During the regular season, Paris averaged 21.4 points, led the nation in rebounding (15.1) and made 61 percent of her shots. She reached double figures in points and rebounds in all but three games and became the first NCAA women's player with 700 points, 500 rebounds and 100 blocks in a season.
"Courtney's consistency has been uncanny," Coale said. "There's no other way to describe it. We've come to learn that one way or another, she's going to get it done."
Paris also broke a 21-year-old NCAA record with her 539 rebounds.
Augustus has played so well
and so consistently that she has become everyone's All-American. She was a unanimous selection last season, when she was the national player of the year, and was unanimous on the preseason team last November.
Her 23-point regular-season average led the nation and she shot 57.8 percent, including 51.5 percent from 3-point range.
"I feel good about it," Augustus said. "I think I've worked hard enough to be deserving of this. It's just a joy being able to go into other states and have people know who you are and appreciate what you're doing for the women's game."
Latta, North Carolina's effervescent 5-6 point guard, averaged 18.4 points and five assists in leading the Tar Heels to the ACC regular-season and tournament championships and their first No.1 ranking.
"I don't really look at what I've done individually" Latta said. "We're just a total package as a team."
But it wouldn't be the same team without her.

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
When Mikey Munden drives home after a night on the town on the weekend, he knows he is in for a long walk.
The Olathe senior lives at 1321 Tennessee St. and, like most Oread neighborhood residents, he parks his car in the alley behind his house. And like most residents who live near 14th and Tennessee streets, he usually finds his apartment parking spaces already filled.
"There have been nights I had to park two or three blocks away from my house," Munden said.
In the alleys of Ohio, Tennessee and Kentucky streets, there are numerous signs warning drivers that parking in the private lots will result in a tow. Yet night after night, these spaces are filled by patrons of nearby bars: The Hawk, The Bull and The Wheel. Drivers continue to ignore the signs and in some cases, the signs are no more than an empty threat.
Sgt. Dan Ward, spokesman for the Lawrence Police Department, said that only the owners of the property had the legal right to have cars towed from their private property.
Cars line up behind 13th and Tennessee streets Wednesday afternoon. Drivers have ignored the posted signs, which has left tennants without a place to park.

For the first time in Student Senate election history, the Student Athlete Advisory Committee will officially pick presidential and vice-presidential candidates to support.
To help make the decision,

During the town hall meeting, the Delta Force coalition also proposed the idea of creating a student athlete senate seat. Jones said it was interesting that the coalition did that without knowing that SAAC had already generated the legislation to do it.

"We know that very few people know what each party stands for so we felt it was important to educate our group."

Jones, who is part of the KU track and field team, said the group will announce which candidate the committee will back on April 5. He said the group was waiting to make the announcement until a piece of legislation that would add a student athlete representative seat to Senate was decided on. He was worried that if the committee announced who it was back-

Bridget Franklin, Topeka senior and vice president candidate for Delta Force, said the coalition was excited that student athletes were showing their support
and interest in the elections this spring.
"Delta Force wants to do as much as we can to help out student athletes, and that's something that's not going to change whether or not we win this endorsement," Franklin said.
The issue that raised the most questions during the meeting had to do with the student fee increase to the women's and nonrevenue sports that will be on a referendum on election ballots.
Jones said it was important to hear where both candidates stood on the fee increase issue because it was that most recent issue that has directly affected the student athletes.

The landlord of one student housing building on the 1200 block of Louisiana Street fixes his roof as the students living there clean up after the storm on March 13. Students should be aware of safety measures they can take during a storm.
Biblical verses and a stubborn taxpayer who helped make a monumental policy change in his state were just a couple of the items brought up Wednesday afternoon by former Colorado Senator John Andrews at the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics.
As part of Dole Fellow Alan Cobb's Study Group series, Andrews spoke candidly about how regular citizens could change the political process — without being elected to office.
Andrews used examples of people who changed his state's government. His most poignant was Douglas Bruce, a domineering, determined man whose "zeal," as Andrews described it, was his most redeeming quality in getting Colorado to finally pass a Taxpayer's Bill of Rights (TABOR), in which voters must approve any state or local tax increase.
According to Andrews, Bruce was not the most pleasant of fellows to be around, but he was the key individual who kept the
Taxpayer's Bill of Rights push going in Colorado, despite the bill not passing until the fourth time it was presented in the state legislature.
"If Bruce had decided to move away in January of 1991, then TABOR doesn't pass in 1992," Andrews said.
Throughout his lecture Wednesday, Andrews brought up more examples of regular people that made a difference and how the "mind of politics is more important than the muscle of politics."
The Colorado Taxpayer's Bill of Rights law is commonly referred to as the Bruce amendment.
To illustrate that point, he read a passage from the Old Testament that told the story of an old wise man — shunned by the town's political hierarchy — who saved his small town from facing possible extinction at the hands of a large military unit that was approaching.
While no explanation was given as to how the old man saved the town, it was the principle — of one person's ideas — that was the important factor.

Tornado season on the way
SAFETY
BY ANNE WETMER

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The microburst that hit Lawrence on March 12 marked an early beginning to tornado season. Even though it hit just a week before the start of spring, "we can get severe weather anytime of the year," said Curt Holderbach of the Topeka National Weather Service.
The peak severe weather season — when Kansas is likely to experience the most tornadoes, microbursts and thunderstorms — is in April, May and June, Holderbach said.
The National Weather Service tries to issue watches and warnings as early as possible, which is usually 15 to 20 minutes in advance but could be less, Holderbach said.
Microbursts can cover an area up to several miles wide. The storm starts above, and a downburst of wind spreads as it hits the ground. The winds can reach 70 to 90 mph. Holderbach said.
The National Weather Service isn't responsible for deciding when to sound the sirens; the local Emergency Management team is. Douglas County's
policy states that the sirens will go off when a local determination is made based on National Weather Service watches and warnings, local storm spotters, law enforcement and weather radar.
The on-duty Emergency Management officer makes the ultimate call to set off the sirens as a "take cover" warning to citizens.
If people want to be prepared, Holderbach suggests buying a NOAA Weather Radio, the official radio of the National
The radios can be purchased at electronics stores, department stores and the Douglas County Emergency Management Office, 111 E. 11th St. The radios usually cost $30 to $40.
NOAA radios have been around for more than 40 years, but new, programmable radios have been available for the past eight to 10 years, Holderbach said.

ODD NEWS Friends share more than morning sickness
COOS BAY, Ore. - Best friends since fifth grade, Tasha Riddle and Raquel Mitola are both pregnant.
They're both having twins. They experienced morning sickness and their feet became sore at the same time. They even share the same due date: June 7.
So what else could they have in common?
The four babies — three girls and a boy — have the same parents: Riddle and her husband, John.
After seven years of trying unsuccessfully to have a baby the Riddles accepted Mitola's offer to act as a surrogate mother.
Then, unexpectedly, Riddle got pregnant as well.
"We had expected to have one baby for years, and now we're gonna have four!" John Riddle told the Coos Bay newspaper, The World. "But the real exciting time will come in a couple of months."
Tasha Riddle had undergone numerous in-vitro fertilizations and miscarried 11 times.
After the last miscarriage, their fertility specialist suggested they consider a surrogate parent.
It was their final attempt at parenthood.
Mitola, who has two children of her own, said she is happy to help her friend experience motherhood.

CAMPUS Sebelius determines damages from winds
Gov. Kathleen Sebelius has requested federal aid for Douglas County and Wyandotte County, to recover from the storm that hit March 12, her office announced Wednesday.
Sebelius sent a letter to President George Bush Tuesday asking for the federal government to help restore damaged local and state infrastructure and help with debris removal.
"We want things to return to normal as quickly as possible for the KU campus and those impacted in these two counties," she said in a press release. "I appreciate President Bush's phone call expressing concern shortly after the storms, and I hope we hear back from our federal partners quickly on this request."
The University of Kansas has reported an initial assessment of $6 million in damages, including 60 percent of its buildings. The governor's office said there have been more than $5 million in damages to Douglas County.

According to a press release from University Relations, the KU Public Safety Office reported Wednesday that crimes in parking lots where surveillance cameras were installed last year dropped 23 percent.
Overall, crime reported on the Lawrence campus dropped nearly 8 percent in 2005. Except for a slight increase in 2003, the Lawrence campus has experienced a steady decline in reported crimes since 1997.

"Any time we can report a decrease in the number of reported crimes on this campus, we are extremely pleased," said Chief Ralph V. Oliver.
Mike Mostaffa
Last August security cameras were installed in 10 campus lots. The cameras, funded by the chancellor's and provost's offices, record continuously and are monitored during evening hours when classes are in session.
Reported thefts on campus decreased overall, though there was a slight increase in bike thefts. Crimes such as burglary and criminal damage to property both showed decreases.
"The University administration's support of this project was key to both its implementation and completion." Oliver said.

Ad legislation does not pass
BY RACHEL PARKER
rparker@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
A bill that would require KU media outlets to offer 10 percent of their advertising space and time to student organizations for free was defeated unanimously in a Student Senate committee meeting Wednesday night.
The legislation was put forth by senior senator Arthur Jones at the university affairs committee meeting. Jones said he thought it was part of the duty of media outlets like The University Daily Kansan, KIHK, Kiosk and the Student Writers Association to help other student groups thrive and be successful.
Most of the discussion focused on how the bill would

The legislation was put forth by senior senator Arthur Jones at the university affairs committee meetings.

Kealing, said the Kansan would lose the $50,000 if the

Jones said he didn't think the Kansan would be strapped for cash, and if so, another bill could be proposed in the fall for increased funding.
Nolan T. Jones, chairman of the Student Senate advertising sub-committee, works with the groups that are put into the "This Week On Campus" section. He and Kealing agreed that the issue at large should have been brought to conversation earlier in the year, and should
have been outside of Student Senate Committee meetings.
Arthur Jones admitted he didn't expect the bill to pass, but said he had been thinking about the issue for two years, but never said anything to battle the Kansan because he was running for election. He is graduating in May and said he wanted the proposed action to be remembered for further discussion in the future.
He took his case to the finance committee after the university affairs committee rejected the bill, The finance committee discussion proved to be more favorable toward Arthur Jones' statements, but the committee chose not to vote.

Fair provides major advice
BY JEF DETERS
editor@kansan.com
KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
The annual Majors Fair held Tuesday at the Ballroom in the Kansan Union gave students the opportunity to learn more about majors offered at the University of Kansas.
When Andrea Stecklein, El Salvador, junior, graduated from high school, she wasn't sure what college to attend and had no intention of going to the University. But after attending two colleges in El Salvador and a community college in Austin, Texas, she ended up at the University.
"My dad went to KU, and my parents kept pushing me so much." Stecklein said.
Stecklein switched her major from pre-business to pre-law and attended the SUA-sponsored event because she wanted to learn more about it.
"I had a general idea about the school, but I set up appointments with advisers. I'd rather
have more one-on-one than just reading about it on-line," Stecklein said.
Steve Nichols, president of Phi Alpha Delta Law Fraternity, an organization that networks for students pursuing careers in law, welcomed the chance to talk with students.
"We give them a lot of information," Nichols said. "They can learn about some of the coursework they need to take, and we give them a greater awareness of resources that we can provide."
Students can set up advising appointments any time. But Ryan Gove of the Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center said the Majors Fair offered a unique opportunity.
"We can sit with students one-on-one," Gove said. "But the Majors Fair gives them the chance to interact with different departments and see how many options they really have."

Candidates
All four candidates answered that they were in favor of the increase.
"I think we were able to let the athletes know that we supported what they did and that we would love to continue to get input from them on what they need as students," said Jason Boots, Plano, Texas, senior and presidential candidate for Ignite.
Jones said he was happy with the way the town hall meeting turned out.
He said he thought both parties did a good job of addressing important issues as well as providing sincere answers to the questions.
"It really got people interested and got student athletes realizing there is a lot more out there that is important outside of athletics," Jones said.
Jones said that SAAC planned to put in a aggressive effort to make student athletes more influential on campus.
He said there were more than 470 members, which means that the winning coalition of this endorsement could make a difference in the election results.

The programmable radios allow the user to either turn the radio on and listen to 24-hour forecasting, or set the radio to tone-alert mode, which means it will only turn on when the National Weather Service issues a severe weather watch or warning. When it turns on, it will sound a tone loud enough to wake up the user. The newer radios can also be programmed to turn on for watches and warnings in one
specific county, although Holderbach said it would be wise to include the surrounding counties for more warning.
Once aware of the storm, people should go to the safest place nearby by that they can. The storms pass quickly, Holderbach said, so you won't have to stay crouched in a corner for long. Hopefully when it's over, neither you nor your home will be damaged, and you can go about daily business until the next siren or NOAA radio warning.

The only way tenants can have cars towed from their parking spaces is if their landlords give them a statement in writing, giving them permission to have cars towed. The Lawrence police have to verify the letter.
Rick Kupper, Lawrence landlord, owns nine properties in Lawrence, most of them in the Oread neighborhood, including apartments at 1321 Tennessee St.
He said that drivers parking
in the alleys and taking up actual residents parking places was not a new problem.
Kupper said that some of his tenants had asked for letters of permission, but the majority had not.
Kupper recalled that one night, one of his tenants who worked nights was trying to leave for work and her car was boxed in by a car from a party next door. Kupper called a tow service to have the vehicle towed. In the

middle of the night, he drove from his Kansas City, Mo., home to Lawrence, so he could sign paper work required by a towing company. Kupper said he didn't mind the extra effort to get the car towed.
"That's just part of the job," Kupper said.

He said that the company used to receive many calls from one apartment complex located at 14th and Ohio streets, directly across the street from The Wheel. The company recently stopped towing cars from the apartment complex.
"It's just not worth the headache," Schall said.
Schaal said that the alley was too narrow for the company's large trucks to do their job without the risk of damaging other vehicles.

New Orleans officers indicted

Lawyer Joe Bruno, right, holds the door for Robert Davis, 64, a retired teacher whose beating by police on Bourbon Street on Oct. 8, 2005, in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina was caught on videotape, arrives at court to testify behind closed doors before a state grand jury in New Orleans on Wednesday.
BY MARY FOSTER
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW ORLEANS — Two fired New Orleans police officers and one current officer were indicted Wednesday in the videotaped beating of a retired teacher in the French Quarter last fall.
The Oct. 8 beating of Robert Davis,64,was caught on video by an Associated Press Television News crew covering the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
The three officers were charged with battery and other offenses.
Davis spent more than an hour testifying about the beating, which left him lying on the street, hands cuffed and blood flowing from his head and face.
The retired elementary school teacher said he was "a private citizen here on business returning to my home. There was no need for what happened."
Afterward, he told reporters that he still has headaches and back problems and even had to interrupt his testimony to take medicine.
Davis said he had returned to the storm-struck city to check on his property and was looking for a place to buy cigarettes in the French Quarter when police grabbed him.
The videotape shows an officer hitting Davis at least four times on the head. Davis twisted and flailed as he was dragged to the ground by four officers.
One officer kneed Davis and punched him twice.
District Attorney Eddie Jordan declined to say whether he showed the video to the grand jury, but he called it "very important" evidence.
When asked if the false imprisonment charge meant that Davis should not have been arrested, Jordan said that would be "a fair inference."
Officer Stewart Smith had ordered APTN producer Rich Matthews and the cameraman to stop recording.
When Matthews held up his credentials, the officer grabbed him, jabbed him in the stomach and delivered a profanity-laced tirade.
Officers Robert Evangelist, 36, and Lance Schilling, 29, were charged with battery against Davis. Smith, 50, was

Evangelist and Schilling were fired after the incident; Smith was suspended but remains with the police force.
A federal civil rights investigation also was launched.
"Without this videotape, I'm sure this case would be swept under the rug," said Davis' attorney, Joseph Bruno.
Later, he said the case gave Davis "a sense of victory because he did nothing wrong."

Houston residents feel impact of storm
BY ANGELA K. BROWN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOUSTON — Seven months after taking in about 200,000 Louisiana residents left homeless by Hurricane Katrina, Houstonians aren't feeling so hospitable anymore.
Many people in the nation's fourth-largest city complain that the influx has led to more murders and gang violence, long lines at health clinics and bus stops, and fights and greater overcrowding in the schools. Some of those claims are debatable, but the sentiment is real.
"We still feel sorry for them. We still want to help them, but it's to the point where enough is enough," said Torah Whitaker, 25, of Missouri City, a Houston suburb.

Houston received national acclaim for accepting more Katrina evacuees than any other U.S. city.
It gave them apartments, houses and health care, and held job fairs for them. Celebrities visited schools and brought gifts for the youngsters.
About 150,000 refugees remain in the greater Houston area, which has more than 4 million people. While some evacuees plan to return to Louisiana, thousands have secured their own housing and jobs and plan to make Houston their home.
But a survey last month of 765 Houston-area residents by Rice University sociologist Stephen Klineberg found that three-fourths believed that helping the refugees put a "considerable strain" on the community, and two-thirds blamed evacuates for a surge in violent crime.

Half thought Houston would be worse off if evacuees stayed, while one-fourth thought the

city would be better off.
The murder rate between the Katrina refugees' arrival in September and last week was up nearly 32 percent from the same period a year ago, Houston Police Chief Harold Hurt said.
He said some of that is attributable to Katrina refugees, but added: "I don't mean to send the message that all Katrina evacuees are involved in drug dealing, gangs and violent offenses."
Refugees were involved — as victims or suspects — in 35 of the 212 murders in that time period, Hurt said. Earlier this month, half of the 18 people arrested in an auto theft sweep were evacuees.
Angelo Edwards, a storm victim from New Orleans and vice chairman of the Katrina Survivors Association, said most evacuees are law-abiding citizens seeking jobs.

Skygazers commemorate solar eclipse
BY SUZAN FRASER
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SIDE, Turkey — Thousands of skygazers gathered in an ancient temple of Apollo and let out cheers Wednesday as a total solar eclipse turned day into twilight, casting an eerie blue glow across the sky and the Mediterranean Sea.
NASA astronomers handed out protective glasses to hundreds of Turkish children before the eclipse cut a dark swath across the sky — a band that stretched from Brazil, across West Africa, Turkey and Central Asia, then disappeared at sunset in Mongolia.

Thousands of skygazers gathered in Turkey Wednesday as a total eclipse turned the day into twilight, casting an eerie blue glow across the sky and the nearby Mediterranean Sea.
Kaan Sovturk/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The last total solar eclipse was in November 2003, but that was best viewed from sparsely populated Antarctica. Wednesday's eclipse blocked the sun in highly populated areas.
Sunni and Shiite Muslims in Iraq were summoned to mosques during the eclipse for a special prayer reserved for times of fear and natural disasters.
In Ghana, automatic street lamps switched on as the light faded, and authorities sounded emergency whistles in celebration. Schoolchildren and others across the capital, Accra, burst into applause.
In the Turkish resort of Side, a crowd of some 10,000 began cheering and whistling as the moon took its first bite out of the sun. When the moon masked the sun and Venus suddenly appeared in the blue glow of the darkened sky, another loud cheer went up.
"It's one of those experiences that makes you feel like you're part of the larger universe," said NASA astronomer Janet Luhmann who witnessed the eclipse from the ruins of an ancient Roman theater just a few hundred feet from the temple of Apollo.
As the moon covered the sun, the temperature dropped quickly and some skygazers put on sweaters.
The sun blackened and a flery rim surrounded it; the sky turned an eerie dark blue while a bright sunset red could be seen on the horizon.
There was a festive atmosphere in Side, with people
gathered on the fallen stones and collapsed columns of the temple dedicated to Apollo — god of the sun — or on rocks at a beach about 40 feet away.
A string quintet played classical music at the foot of the temple's five standing pillars and a Turkish brewery distributed free beer.
Vendors hawked eclipse T-shirts and at one point, the stargazers began waving to a nearby cruise ship.
Children sat on the ruined stone steps of the second-century Roman theater and watched as astronomers from NASA and the San Francisco-based Exploratorium museum, using
large telescope and cameras, broadcast the phenomenon live on the Web.
Many in Ghana, a deeply religious country of Christians and Muslims, said the eclipse bolstered their faith.
"I've never experienced this and we all need to pray to God and worship him. I believe it's a

Ex-president charged for war crimes
BY CLARENCE ROY- MACAULEY
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
FREETOWN, Sierra Leone — Former Liberian President Charles Taylor, captured on the run in Nigeria with sacks full of cash, was flown to Sierra Leone on Wednesday to be tried on war crimes charges.
A white U.N. helicopter carrying Taylor left neighboring Liberia and landed inside the compound of the U.N.backed war crimes tribunal that will try the former warlord, U.N. officials said. A second U.N. chopper also landed on the helipad

Tavlor then was jailed.
Taylor was captured Tuesday day night by security forces in the far northeastern border town of Gamboru, in Borno State, nearly 600 miles from the villa in southern Calabar from which he reportedly disappeared Monday night, Information Minister Frank Nweke said in a statement. He was trying to cross the border into Cameroon.
President Bush said he appreciated Nigeria's work in apprehending Taylor.
President Olusegun Obasanjo, who was visiting the White House, gave few details about Taylor's arrest except to say he
"The fact that Charles Taylor will be brought to justice in a court of law will help Liberia and is a sign of your deep desire for there to be peace in your neighborhood," Bush told Obasanjo in an Oval Office meeting.

Taylor and his son were taken into custody while the others were let go, Bello said.
A Nigerian police official said Taylor was in a vehicle with his son, an aide and a local guide when arrested.
Taylor then was flown on a plane bearing a Nigerian flag to Monrovia, Liberia, where hundreds of U.N. troops patrolled.

Major indecision not a problem for students
PAGE 7A
For students who don't
Forcing high school students to pick doesn't help anyone. For students who already know what they want to do, the option is just a formal choice that shouldn't make a difference. These students would take the same classes anyway if the school offered them. If it doesn't offer courses that appeal to these students, they are out of luck anyway.
The state of Florida is considering making high school freshmen declare a major. The proposal, by Gov.Jeb Bush, has the intention of reducing the dropout rate of high school students by tailoring their schedules to their future career plans.
Nevermind that some college students can't even decide on what their major is. The University of Kansas doesn't even require its students to declare a major until the second semester of their sophomore years.
The University has no problem with students who are undecided. A brochure for the Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center says that it's fine not to know your major right away and that one of the primary objectives of the center is to help students choose one.
Issue: High-school students selecting majors
How many college students graduate with a major and then go on to do something unrelated?
Stance: Students should not be required to decide a career path so early in life.
The more the process of choosing a major is left open, the more freedom students have to truly find a major that interests them.
know, it narrows their options by forcing them to pick a major. A major would set a course track and limit the ability to see what appeals to a student by limiting his or her ability to sample a variety of classes.

Hope and courage can lead to building a better country
▼ COMMENTARY
If the road to Little Rock has revealed anything to me, it is this. We must overcome fear in order to deal with the challenges currently facing our country.
The first weekend of Spring Break was a dreary one, but not even the gray clouds and the rain could cover the obvious poverty in the Ozark regions of Missouri and Arkansas.
It is evident from the opinion polls, the public outcry, the media coverage and the international attention that America is not living up to its potential.
I went to Little Rock because it was a chance to spend some time with my father and get out of Lawrence. I wanted to know what Little Rock had to teach me about building a better America. I had the questions and I wanted answers.
Amy R.
I found part of my answer at the William J. Clinton Presi-
The leaning shacks and the long-abandoned farms on the road to Little Rock take those external ideas about the problems in our country and bring them home, right home. My father would call this a life lesson. John Locke, our philosophical Founding Father, would call it sufficient evidence for the necessity of change in government. I call it Interstate 540.
LIZ STUEWE opinion@kansan.com
This was part of my answer. In order to be a better country we must overcome our doubts and create a broad vision of a bright future for all Americans. But how do we do this?
Clinton once wrote, "If we are driven by our vision of a better future, we will achieve it." This vision is lacking in current politics. Neither the Democratic Party nor the Republican Party has offered us a vision of a better future for America.
The second step I made that day was at Little Rock Central High School, the site of the famous civil rights battle to racially integrate public schools in 1957. Central High is an intimidating brick and stone building that towers over everything else in the neighborhood. Next door a quaint, well-restored, 1950s gas station
houses a museum about the struggle. And somewhere in between the pictures of the black students being escorted to class by the 101st Airborne Division and the words of civil rights leaders urging a peaceful coexistence of the races, I found the second part of my answer.
How do we create a vision of a hopeful, prosperous future for all Americans? Courage. The strength and courage it took for those students to attend school under such hostile and violent conditions are an example for all of us.
President Clinton stated the challenge eloquently, "History has a habit of testing us — as individuals and as a nation—a habit of demanding that we choose between our hopes and fears, between our vision of how things ought to be and an acceptance of things as they are."
This is our test. It may not be pleasant or easy, but we need an inclusive vision, as individuals and a nation, that is based on hope for the future and not the fear of the present. And we can do this by showing courage in the face of adversity.

Immigration issues require consideration, not dismissal
COMMENTARY
Immigration is a bewildering, complex problem for the United States with no clear antagonist. Who should be let in? What process should determine eligibility? Should we blame immigrants for wanting to become citizens of our country? There is no easy solution.
On one hand, Americans are somewhat culpable for the present crisis. Americans should be proud that others want to immigrate to our nation. It means that we have done something right. It means that we have something special that other people want to share in. Last time I checked, there was no great push from anyone to cross the border into China, Russia or any other country. Oppressed
and down-trodden people want to come here because we have what they do not: free markets, free speech, free press, and free religion; in a word, freedom. Our forebears saw this freedom and came running. And, now, we are free to enjoy the fruits of the sacrifices that they made.
Can we in good conscience deny that freedom to other people, even in the name of national security? Our nation has made such great strides toward promoting freedom; we cannot go on to say that these immigrants are not worthy of enjoying their freedom here, that they must do so in their respective native lands. Sure, security is a risk, and we must take every practical step to minimize
I am a lawyer. I work on cases that involve complex legal issues and require thorough research and analysis to ensure that all aspects of the case are well-represented in the final document. I also provide legal advice to clients on how to navigate the complexities of the legal process and make informed decisions about their rights and protections.
On the other hand, immigrants to the United States do not always help their situation. During demonstrations last week one might have thought that the protesters wanted Mexican, not United States citizenship. Not once did I see an American flag, only Mexican. It was reason-
that risk. But, we cannot summarily discount all foreigners as terrorists and drug dealers.
ANDREW SOUKUP opinion@kansan.com
able enough grounds to question where their true loyalties lie. Moreover, as long as our society continues to make special concessions to these new immigrants in schools, universities and the work place — such as in-state tuition for children of illegal immigrants — it is questionable whether they will ever be fully assimilated into American society. If they are not assimilated into American society, they will always remain as marginalized, second-class citizens and never enjoy the true freedoms that our nation offers.
Again, this is a complex situation. Not all immigrants receive, or even ask for, special accommodation. Not all immigrants display such affection for the
nations they left behind. It bears repeating that we cannot just categorize all immigrants into the same stereotypes. But, stereotypes are always stereotypes for a reason. There are legitimate problems that require strong laws to be enforced. No program will be perfect in its clemency toward the demoralized and exploited, nor in its justice for those who seek to take advantage of American generosity and compassion. But, the answer does not lie on the poles of unrestricted amnesty or unmitigated xenophobia. There has to be a happy medium.

Unfortunately, times have changed since the 1960s, and starting a computer company or becoming a world-class director isn't as easy as it used to be. These days, employers want degrees, not just talent, and it shows in the salaries of college graduates.According to the Times, men in their early 40s without a college degree made an average of $42,000 in 2000. Those with a four-year degree made $65,000.
I'm dropping out of school and moving to the beach. At least, that's what I tell myself at 3:00 a.m. with half a term paper done and another project to finish, for a subject I don't like and won't ever use. I'm in the sophomore slump, that period in college when I think to myself, "What the hell am I doing here?" When the pressure of college finally outweighs the distant hope of a six-figure paycheck, some students throw up their hands in frustration and say "screw it," retreating back to the safety of home to find a job or to regain sanity.
Maybe college isn't for everyone, and there's nothing wrong with taking a break from the hustle and bustle of academia. Do what makes you happy, even if that means dancing on a pole or bagging groceries. Life seems too short to waste on homework, but for now, I think I'll grit my teeth and bear it, because the next two years will set me up for my last few decades.

TALK TO US
Not every successful person in the world has a college degree. Ted Turner, founder of CNN and TBS, was expelled from Brown University in 1960 for having a girl in his room. Woody Allen went to New York University, where he dropped out because of poor grades. Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard to pursue his computer career. According to the census bureau, as of March 2005 only 36.1 percent of the population had some sort of degree. Some students leave college, planning to return and finish their degrees later. According to the New York Times, "Almost one in three Americans in their mid-twenties now fall into this group, up from one in five in the late 1960s."

There's a general consensus that any young adult not enrolled in school is a deadbeat, stalled out on the road of life. For many of us, our parents and teachers are the ones who push college onto our plates, making us swallow the belief that without a college degree, we will die alone in a box somewhere. In England, it's customary to take a year off after secondary school to explore other options before committing to a university.

Taliban attacks base
Spring feeling
BY RAHIM FAIEZ
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
U. S. and British warplanes and helicopters were called in to provide air support and a Canadian quick reaction force was sent from Kandahar to the base, where a small contingent of American and Canadian soldiers are stationed with Afghan troops in the Sangin district of the volatile Helmand province.
KANDAHAR, Afghanistan — Taliban militants launched a rare attack on a coalition base in southern Afghanistan Wednesday, killing an American and a Canadian soldier and sparking fierce U.S.-led retaliation that left 32 insurgents dead in the bloodiest fighting in months.
"Over the last five or six weeks there have been various proven attacks mainly at night by the Taliban on that base, but I think it is fair to say this is the largest we have seen thus far," British spokesman Col. Chris Vernon told reporters in Kandahar.
The battle began hours after Taliban insurgents ambushed an Afghan supply convoy as it returned to the remote forward operating base late Tuesday, killing eight Afghan soldiers, Vernon said.
Early Wednesday, the base came under a "significant Taliban attack," during which the Canadian and American soldiers were killed, Vernon said.
The attack came a day after at least 10 people were killed in two separate roadside bombings and reflected a growing intensity of militant assaults after the Taliban warned of a renewed offensive this year.

NATION Americans wary of government efforts
NEWYORK - Americans question the ability of the United States to create democracy in other countries, and are divided on whether successful efforts could even make the U.S. safer, according to a poll released Thursday.
Only 36 percent of those surveyed believe the U.S. can help spread democracy — a major objective for the Bush administration in Iraq and throughout the Middle East.
The Iraq war remains the top concern, with 22 percent naming it America's largest global problem, followed by terrorism at 13 percent.

Senior leadership played an important role in Delta Chi's intramural championship victory Wednesday night against Phi Psi OHB.
Delta Chi won 54-35 in Allen Fieldhouse.
Lee Iversen, Manhattan senior, and Grant Creighton, Engelwood, Colo., senior, seemed to be on a separate level from the other players. They energized Delta Chi with exciting plays throughout the game.
Creighton received uproars from the Delta Chi crowd as he made two steals and drew three fouls early in the game. Despite shooting only 2-of-5 from the free-throw line, Creighton had six points in the first five minutes of the game.
"I played a year of college basketball at Denver University so with more experience, I knew what to expect," Creighton said.
Gentry Leitner, St. Louis freshman, was the only Phi Psi OHB player that found his shots falling. Leitner represented nearly half of the offense for his team — he scored 17 of his team's 35 points.
"The shots we usually hit just weren't falling, and they had a big height advantage on us," Leitner said.
At halftime, the game still seemed to be in reach, with Phi Psi OHB trailing 22-14.
That was until Iverson had something to say about it. He hit

Despite Leitner shooting well and Travis Meier, Lenexa junior, doing a solid job of protecting and distributing the basketball, Phi Psi OHB never once led and were unable to make runs that had swing momentum.
Delta Chi and its fans celebrated the championship with excitement.
"It feels great, especially after falling short two of the last three years, it was nice to finally get one," Iversen said.

Confidence boost
Jayhawks defeat Shockers 8-2
BY ALISSA BAUER
abauer@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Center fielder Kenny Waddell and right fielder Matt Brown tracked a fly ball heading toward right center field on Wednesday night.
Looking up into the lights of Hoglund Ballpark, the pair of Wichita State Shockers seemed helpless — the ball hit the ground between them.
For No. 13 Wichita State (21-7,
1, 1-2), the night didn't pick up
from there. The Jayhawks defeated
the Shockers. 8-2.
Wichita State coach Gene Stephenson said his team was never really in the game after not being able to pitch.
Before Wednesday night, the Jayhawks (18-10, 2-4) described games between Wichita State and
Kansas as a way to determine which team is the best in the state.
For now, the title belongs to Kansas.
"We're definitely the best team in the state," sophomore outfielder John Allman said. "Anytime we line up against Wichita State it's a good game. We all get excited to play."
27
Allman led the Jayhawks with a 3-for-5 night. The sophomore drove in three of Kansas' eight runs.
Kansas coach Ritch Price, a little more modest, said he was pleased with his team's dominating performance, but was reluctant to give his team the superior label.
"I wouldn't go there," Price said. "If he said that I'll clobber him." Price said, referring to Allman. "It's a great rivalry, but our guys pitched better than their guys tonight."
Freshman pitcher Andy Marks delivers against Wichita State in the fourth inning at Hoglund Ballpark Wednesday night. Marks notched his second win of 2006 in relief of starter Brendan McNamera, allowing two hits, walking three batters and striking out four. The Jayhawks beat the Shockers 8-2.

Going for GOLDZONE II
BY EVAN KAFARAKIS
ekafarakis@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
The big event in the Kansas Relays, which will take place April 20 to 22, will be the GOLDZONE II, which will feature Olympic athletes competing against each other.
Tim Weaver, Relays meet director, said the response from last year's meet was great, but he expected more fans to come out this year because of the quality of athletes competing. Last year, more than 24,000 people attended the GOLDZONE event, which was the second highest attendance in relays history.
Weaver and Kansas track and field coach Stanley Redwine
announced the main events for the Kansas Relays and unveiled the GOLDZONE II poster on Wednesday.
THE GOLDZONE II event will take place from 2 to 5 p.m. Saturday, April 22, at Memorial Stadium. Two household names will compete head to head.
Olympic gold medalist Justin Gatlin, who won gold in the 100-meter dash at the 2004 Olympics in Athens, Greece, will compete against Maurice Greene in the 4x100-meter dash. Greene won gold in the 2000 Olympics in the 100-meter dash in Sydney, Australia.
Weaver said that Greene, a Kansas City, Kan., native, loved coming to the Kansas Relays to compete in front of a home crowd.
"A great track meet draws a great crowd, and to draw a great crowd, a meet must assure people that they will be entertained," Weaver said. "Last year's story was the presence of track and field's household names in Lawrence. This year is all about match-ups." Weaver said.
The unveiled poster showed just that: Gatlin on one side and Greene on the other.
"It looks like a heavyweight poster, and not by accident," Weaver said. "People love rivalries, and although they are friends off the track, on the track they are rivals."
The women's main event also attracted stars.
World champions Allyson Felix and Muna Lee and silver medalist Rachelle Smith will compete in the 100-meter dash.
"Each of our featured events will have at least two champions competing for the Relays crown and the attention of our fans," Weaver said.
Redwine said he expected to see top performances from his Kansas squad throughout the weekend as well.
"Sheldon Battle can be on the field competing with anyone during the GOLDZONE II event if he qualifies." Redwine said of the senior. "Any given day, anyone can show up."

TOPEKA'S FINEST
Early NCAA tournament exits unacceptable at Kansas
It used to mean something at the University of Kansas to make it out of the first round of the NCAA tournament.
Not since Dr. Phog Allen led the crimson and blue charge 56 years ago has Kansas lost consecutive first-round tournament games. If nothing else, Kansas coach Bill Self is in exclusive company — for the wrong reason.
Now, I know critics of Roy Williams are crying about how Williams had his fair share of
KU tournament failures.
Fans and media outlets criticized Williams after bowing out to UTEP in the second round in 1992 (between two Final Fours), or falling to eventual national champion Arizona in the Sweet Sixteen in 1997.
You're right. But I'll take Roy's four Final Fours and zero first-round exits at Kansas over mid-major meltdowns any day.
Yet Self was given a free pass for this season's tournament exit. One reason was the
team's youth — starting three freshmen and two sophomores. Other reasons included winning the Big 12 regular season and tournament championships.
OK, so the team was young. The top seven scorers were freshmen and sophomores.
One problem with the youth argument — Kansas isn't the only team in America with young players.
starting five includes four sophomores and a junior. And three of UCLA's leading tournament scorers were underclassmen.
LSU starts three freshmen and a sophomore. Florida's
Kansas won the Big 12 in a down year. Only two of the seven teams that made postseason son play (including the NIT) advanced past the first round.
Now let's look to next year.
If Rush keeps his word, then those aforementioned "Magnificent Seven" will return intact.
With that lofty ranking comes the pressure that comes with Kansas basketball territory
along with the addition of one, possibly two McDonald's All-Americans, likely landing Kansas in the preseason top five next season.
- Final Four or bust.
Also, this is now Self's program, so the excuses of a Williams hangover are gone. Will another early exit be tolerated next season if it were to happen?
It's now safe to say, for Self, the three-year grace period is over. Kansas basketball is supposed to be about national championships not just Big 12 titles. I know Kansas can't win it all every year, but we should expect better then what we've settled with for the past two years.

DURHAM, N.C. — Duke University's highly ranked lacrosse team will not play again this season until school administrators learn more about allegations that three team members raped an exotic dancer at an off-campus party, the school said.
The dancer, a student at North Carolina Central University, told police she was pulled into a bathroom, beaten, choked and raped. No one has been charged.

MEN'S GOLF
Kansas plays poorly in rain
BY ASHER FUSCO
afusco@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
The Kansas men's golf team participated in the 60th Annual Western Intercollegiate in Santa Cruz, Calif., but neither pleasant weather nor low scores were to be found.
The Jayhawks finished in 15th place in a field of 16 teams on Tuesday. Gusting winds along with pesky rain and hail fell in California. Three rounds were originally scheduled, but Kansas played only two because of the poor conditions.
Kansas did not fare well at the par-70 Pasatiempo Golf Course, posting scores of 303 and 307.
Kansas did not place an individual in the Top 20, and only one team, Cal State Northridge.
separated Kansas from the bottom of the leaderboard.
Senior Pete Krnsin turned in the best results of the week for the jayhawks, finishing in a tie for 2014 also with
A. B. C. D. E. F. G. H. I. J. K. L. M. N. O. P. Q. R. S. T. U. V. W. X. Y. Z.
an overall score of 149. Krsnich said he would make no excuses for the team's poor play, though.
29th place with Krsnich
"We just didn't play as well as we should have," Krsnich said. "We just didn't make as good of shots as we should have."
Kansas coach Ross Randall did not have a positive analysis of the situation either.
"It wasn't the weather, we just didn't play well," Randall said.
Junior Tyler Docking scored
152 and finished tied for 48th place. Usually at the top of the leaderboard, junior Gary Woodland also had his fair share of trouble, and finished tied for 58th with a 153.
When asked about his score of 159, senior Luke Trammell expressed his disappointment. He finished in a tie for 69th place.
"We probably should've played a little better, and the weather should've favored us a bit more, but we didn't really handle the weather as well as we should have." Trammell said.
In an effort to diversify the lineup, Randall inserted sophomore Joey Mundy into the equation, but Mundy fared no better than his teammates, shooting a 157 to finish in a tie for 75th.
Duke managed to hold off the rough conditions to score 577
and a first-place finish. Rob Grube of Stanford took home the individual honors after shooting a two-round 158.
The Jajahaws will try to rebound quickly from their recent struggles, as they travel to Cary, N.C., next week to compete in the Courtyard by Marriot Intercollegiate.
The team has less than a month to prepare for the Big 12 Championship, allowing the Jayhawks only a few weeks to smooth out the kinks in their swings.
However, the players seem confident about their chances as the stakes are raised. "I'm really confident that we'll have a good squad going into the Big 12, which is the ultimate key," Krsnich said.

Royals rebuild in offseason
BY ALAN ESKEW
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SURPRISE, Ariz. — Kansas City Royals manager Buddy Bell knows a bit about defense.
LM Otero/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
A six-time Gold Glove winner during his playing days, Bell cried when watching last year's Royals amass a major league-leading 125 errors.
"I never thought any other way." Bell said. "If you can't catch the ball, you're not going to win. It is not just the error. It is the plays you don't get to."
Chicago Cubs' Jerry Hairston (15) beats the pick off throw against Kansas City Royals first baseman Doug Mientkiewicz (11) during spring training exhibition baseball in Surprise, Ariz.
The Royals were active in the offseason, acquiring first baseman Doug Mientkiewicz, a Gold Glove winner in 2001 with the Minnesota Twins, and second baseman Mark Grudzielanek, who had a 990 fielding percentage last year to lead all National league second baseman.
The Royals also claimed utility infielder Tony Graffanino off waivers from the Boston Red
Sox Tuesday, adding depth to the middle infield.
Bell said he expects the acquisition of veteran Reggie Sanders, who had a .983 fielding percentage in 81 games with the Cardinals, to cover more ground in right field while helping emerging star David Dejesus in center.
TENNIS 'Hawks earn highest ranking of season
The Kansas tennis team jumped 12 spots to No. 62 this week in the FILA women's tennis rankings. It is the highest ranking of the season for the Jayhawks. After losing four matches in a row, Kansas is on a four-game winning streak. Its last four victories were against Southern, LSU, UMKC and Saint Louis. Three of those matches were 7-0 shutouts.
Kansas has eight matches remaining before the April 27 Big 12 Tournament in Waco, Texas.
Kansas' current record is 9-6 and 0-3 in Big 12 Conference play. The team will play Oklahoma on Saturday and Iowa State on Sunday. Both matches are scheduled to take place at the Robinson Courts.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL Coach joins Indiana, escapes salary freeze
INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana will hire Kelvin Sampson as its next basketball coach, delivering him from an Oklahoma team under investigation for possible recruiting violations.
Details were being worked out, and the deal was expected to be announced shortly, said a person close to the talks who requested anonymity because negotiations were ongoing.
The NCAA is looking into more than 550 impermissible phone calls to recruits by Sampson and his assistant coaches.
As part of their self-imposed sanctions, the Sooners froze Sampson's salary for a two-year period beginning in 2005 and restricted him from receiving any postseason bonuses.

You might want to raise the roof and try something different. Not everyone understands what you need to do in order to make life work. You will see life from a renewed perspective. Think positively.
Tonight. Easy does it.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ******
Sometimes you can get caught up in others' wishes. Libra is a very giving sign that cares a lot about others. Still, for your own sake, you will have to say "no" sooner or later. Knowing that you cannot be everyone's benefactor is important.
Tonight: Quality time with a special friend.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★★
Get as much done as possible before the afternoon. Others will need you and could be quite demanding. Easily, you could be pushed or feel cornered. Say "no" if you must. Your ability to read between the lines proves helpful.
Tonight: Easy does it.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★
You might be far more negative than you realize. Events around you help you gain a new perspective. Consider your options with care. Seek advice and different opinions. You will see life from a new perspective.
Tonight: You ootta do what you ootta do
CANCER (June 21-July 22) *****
Verily news, and you will like what comes
not. Everyone has a strong sense of what
works, but right now you are more on target
than many. Still, you might need to say "no"
to extravagance. Smart Moon Child!
Tonight: Happy with friends.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) *****
You solve problems and will do just that until you find you have let an important element of your personal life slide. You could be hard-pressed to cover all your bases, but you will -- as always. You are a very special person.
Twinkle Happiness for you!
Tonight: Happiness follows you.
Tonight; Slow and steady works.
CAPIRCORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ******
Every has limits -- you included. Think positively, and you will make a difference.
Do nothing halfway. You might want to rethink a situation more carefully. You might want to rethink a personal matter more carefully too.
Tonight. Easy does it.
Tonight: Take some extra time for yourself.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) *****
You are happy and positive. You see life from a much different perspective than many. By late afternoon, your good humor could dissipate. You easily could head out on retreat. Think twice before you say anything. Tonight: Happy as can be.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★
Though you might be positive about a venture this morning, you easily could change your tune by the evening. Fatigue and stress will play heavily into your mood in the p.m.
Know when to walk away or give yourself a break.
Tonight: Relax with a friend.

Rough start ends well for Kansas at Hoglund
Randall Sanders/KANSAN
McNamara struggles. Marks provides relief and gains victory

Junior pitcher Brendan McNamara delivers against Wichita state in the first inning at Hoglund Ballpark Wednesday night. McNamara earned a no-decision in the 8-2 victory, pitching three innings and allowing one run on four hits, walking two batters and striking out one.
BY SHAWN SHROYER

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Facing No. 13 Wichita State between crucial Big 12 opponents No. 3 Nebraska and No. 29 Missouri, Kansas coach Ritch Price was left with a tough decision as to which pitcher to start on Wednesday night.
Kansas' weekend aces were off limits because of the magnitude of the Missouri series this weekend.
"We have to win the series against Missouri to get back in the Big 12 race," Price said on Tuesday.
Yet, aside from being a rivalry game, Price said Wednesday's match-up against a ranked non-conference opponent would have major postseason implications.
So, in need of a pitcher who could pitch a few innings against the Shockers and not cripple the weekend rotation, Price chose his sixth different starter of the season
- junior Brendan McNamara.
The decision didn't work out as well as Price had hoped. McNamara gave up two runs, one earned, in three innings on four hits and two walks. He struck out one Wichita State player.
"I was pleased that he got into trouble and he got out of trouble and he gave us three innings," Price said.
McNamara had been consistent most of the season, allowing no runs in four of his six appearances before Wednesday. But after pitching two score-
"I was getting hot pretty much every game, so I was a little tender," McNamara said, about his throwing arm on Wednesday night after pitching on Sunday.
With the game tied 2-2 after three innings, Price looked to freshman left-hander Andy Marks (2-1).
Wichita State's offense came to a screeching halt after Marks took the mound. In three innings of work, Marks kept the Shockers off the board and surrendered only two hits, walked three and struck out four.
"Andy grew up a lot tonight," sophomore outfielder John Allman said. "That was the first time I saw him on the mound with some presence."
While Marks shut down Wichita State batters, the Kansas offense did its part to earn Marks his second victory of the year, erupting for the final six of its eight runs.
"I think they all like to see it," Marks said, about whether the rest of the Kansas pitching staff was jealous of the run support he received. "I was kind of happy to see eight runs on the board tonight no matter who was pitching."
After the game, Price said he was most impressed with how three freshman pitchers
— Marks, Nick Czyz and Paul Smyth — dominated Shocker hitters and kept senior closer Don Czyz in the bulpen so he could be fresh for the weekend.
"I think we're in really good shape." Price said.

Fans want to Shock every sport
BASEBALL
BY ERIC JORGENSEN
ejorgensen@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Despite Kansas legislators' attempts to have the University of Kansas play Wichita State each year in every sport, no arrangement was reached. The two teams regularly face off in baseball, though.
Baseball is the one time during the school year where high-stake sports match-ups occur between these two teams. It is also the only time fans from the schools partake in rivalry and bragging rights for the year.
Many Kansas and Wichita State fans alike think the interstate rivalry is weak, but is growing.
"It's light-hearted," Eric Nevels, Topeka freshman said. "I think it would be awesome if
Lance Fleming graduated from Wichita State. He said he thought Kansas put more money into its team than Wichita State, but the rivalry was growing in the last two to three years.
it was more intense when they played baseball."
Fleming said he thought the state of Kansas was represented by three schools in three sports: Wichita State for baseball, Kansas for basketball and Kansas State for football.
The improvement by the Jay-hawks against the Shockers has many Kansas students pleased and wanting to watch games at Hoglund Ballpark, said Brent Gorski, Idaho Falls, Idaho, freshman.
"I know they're ranked higher, and I'd like to beat them," Gorski said of No. 13 Wichita State.
Other fans said if the teams squared off in basketball, it would consequently make the Kansas-Wichita State baseball rivalry more intense.
Fleming said he agreed with Smith.
"I think it could be a better rivalry than K-State," Smith said. Fleming said he agreed with
Kyle Smith, Topeka freshman,
said the more the teams played,
the more bitter the rivalry would
be. Smith went as far to say if
the teams played in basketball,
it could make Wichita State the
biggest in-state rival.
"It would increase the rivalry if we started playing basketball," Fleming said. "A lot of Wichita State fans want to play them in basketball."
Kansas will face Wichita State again on April 5 in Wichita.

Confidence
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
At the top of the first, junior right-hander Brendan McNamara experienced early trouble in his first Division I start. He walked Wichita State's Waddell to lead off the game, and later overthrew first base allowing him to score.
Although McNamara got out of the first with only minor casualties, he sixed base runners after facing just 14 batters. He was out by the fourth inning, allowing a pair of runs off four hits.
Four Jayhawk pitchers followed McNamara, three of whom were freshmen. Freshman lefty Andy Marks (2-1) took the next three-ing shift, kept the Shockers off the board and picked up the victory.
"I think the fact that we beat a Top 20 team with three freshmen on the mound says a lot about our program," Price said.
Kansas collected 15 hits, four of which were off starter Max Hutson.
The KU offense didn't skip a beat after junior Jared Simon (0-1) took over in the fourth innings. The
right-hander was dealt the loss.
Throwing to his first batter of the evening, freshman first baseman Preston Land welcomed Simon by nailing a line drive into the left-field wall. Freshman catcher Buck Afenir brought Land around for the RBI.
"I thought it had a pretty good chance," Land said of the long fly ball hit into the wind coming in from left. "I thought it was, maybe, any other night it probably would've been out."
In the fifth and sixth, Kansas sent 13 batters to the plate, came up with eight hits and five runs.
Wichita State used four pitchers, none of which were overly effective. Freshman right-hander Matt Smith was the only Shocker hurler to not surrender a run, although he was tagged for three hits and a walk.
On Tuesday night, the Shockers lost an 11-inning battle to No. 10 Arkansas. Hutson was slated to start before Tuesday night's match-up, and the Jayhawks didn't see that as a major factor in Wednesday's victory.
said. "It might have had an effect on some guys and it might not have had an effect on other guys. You've got to give our pitchers credit, though, they pitched really well tonight."
With Missouri coming to town on Friday, Price made it clear how important that series is to his team and its chances of gaining ground in the Big 12 Conference. The record crowd at Hoglund Ballpark may be the fire Kansas needs to take the next two series from Missouri and Texas Tech.
"It just all depends," Land
"I think our players fed off that energy," Price said. "It was exciting to be at Hoglund Ballpark tonight."
Game Notes:
Senior outfielder Matt Baty was in full uniform in the Kansas bullpen on Wednesday night. The co-captain was cleared to play on Tuesday.
The in-state rivalry drew the largest crowd the Hog has ever seen. The attendance peaked at 2,324 fans.

Scouts to look at Kemp
TEXAS 33 10 5
Then senior forward Crystal Kemp goes up for a shot against the Texas defense in the second half of the game in Allen Fieldhouse on Jan. 3. Kemp will be working out at the WNBA pre-draft camp in Boston this weekend.
Kansan file photo

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Crystal Kemp will be feeling the pressure at the Women's Final Four in Boston this weekend.
The former forward won't be playing, but rather working out alongside 40 other players at the WNBA pre-draft camp. The camp is an opportunity for scouts to take a look at Kemp before this year's WNBA draft.
Kemp and the other prospects will work out for the scouts on Monday. Tuesday night is the women's national championship game, and Wednesday will be the WNBA draft, with all events held in Boston.
Kemp said before the season ended that she would like to continue playing basketball professionally, but for now she will just sit back and see what opportunities are made available to her.
"I haven't really looked into it too much." she said, adding that WNBA teams were not allowed to contact her during the season.
There are 14 teams in the WNBA, and three rounds in the draft, meaning a total of 42 players will be selected. The closest WNBA team to Kansas is the Minnesota Lynx.
She capped off the best season of her career by being named to the All-Big 12 first team, voted on by the league's coaches.
Because the WNBA season begins in May, players who are drafted don't have an offseason; they just jump right in with their new teams.
While in Boston, Kemp will also be participating in "So you want to be a coach?" a program put on by the Women's Basketball Coaches Association.
The program invited 50 senior basketball players to a workshop that will take place during the weekend, with the goal of preparing minority athletes to
be coaches after graduation.
During high school, Kemp worked with kids at a community center in Topeka, and said that after she was finished playing, she would like to become a coach.
Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson is also in Boston for the Final Four weekend events, and will get a chance to watch Kemp work out for the WNBA scouts on Monday afternoon.
Basketball Notebook:
Meanwhile, the rest of the women's basketball team is beginning offseason practices in Lawrence. NCAA rules state
that the players can practice for only eight hours per week. Henrickson is dividing the time so the players spend five hours in strength and conditioning and three hours on the court.
"Right now we are individualizing the strength and conditioning," Henrickson said. "We are making it specific to what each player needs to work on."
Nine players will return from this year's team; they will be joined by a freshman class of seven. Those players will begin arriving in June and July during the summer school period.

EDITOR'S NOTE
Mary Louise
This week's feature about job searching (p.10) made me feel lousy — because I need it. Bad. Not only
have I ignored the looming Real World for four years by not getting internships, but I chose a major filled with the most initiative-taking people since the gold rushers. For five semesters now, I've returned from breaks to hear my peers
Though it took a full four years for me to do it, I've finally accepted that serving won't suffice much longer, and that Fortune won't drop an income on me, like in the novels I read.
talk about internships in Boston, job offers in Chicago and skills acquired with the fierce ambition and unrelenting passion of the Journalists of Tomorrow.I spent my breaks serving beers and burgers and reading novels.
Last semester, I talked my dad into letting me stay in college playland one more year, tacked on an English major and planned on "applying" for "intentships" to "gain experience." I've only now started the process.
Not that I don't secretly hope for a plan B. This week's other articles taught me how to pack up and run away (p. 7), or hey --- maybe I'll take up the exciting life of a DJ (p. 15).

Glazed Grilled Peaches
Rinse 6 firm-ipe peaches; cut each in half and pit. Melt 6 tablespoons butter or margarine in a frying pan over medium-high heat; add 1/4 cup sugar and stir until well blended. Remove pan from heat, set peaches in butter mixture, and coat evenly.
Next, lay peaches, cut side down, on a barbeque grill over a solid bed of medium coals or medium heat on a gas grill. Cook until peaches are hot and lightly browned on the bottom. Brush tops with more butter mixture, then turn fruit over and brush cooked sides with mixture. Cook until peaches are warm but still hold their shape, 6 to 10 minutes. Makes 6 servings.

Grilling is a perfect way to bring friends together, and it isn't half bad for you either.
Benjamin Williams, Leawood medical student, grills about once a week depending on the weather, meat prices and how busy he is with school.
"I like being able to make a nice meal for my friends and myself rather than the take-out or sandwiches we would usually eat," he says.
Williams and Peppes are not alone.
Grilling is relaxing, says Matt Peppes, Leawood senior.
Over 60 percent of Americans are grilling yearround, and grill ownership has increased 10 percent from 2003, with eight out of 10 households now owning an outdoor barbecue grill or smoker, a report by the Hearth, Patio and Barbecue Association says.
Healthy grilling
More people are finding that grilling adds flavor and nourishment to many foods, says Roberta Duyff, a food
and nutrition consultant in St. Louis.
"Since grilling is a high-heat cooking method, it has fewer calories and less added fat," she says.
Learning to cook the meat the right amount of time is key. "Overcooking takes flavor away don't turn a piece of good meat into shoe leather," Duyff says. She also recommends trimming excess fat, which makes the meat healthier and cook more evenly.
PREPARE YOUR FOOD SAFELY
Follow 365 Days of Healthy Eating from the American Dietetic AssociationauthorRobertaDuyff's easy food safety guidelines to avoid contamination and even worse, a trip to the hospital with food poisoning.
Start with a clean grill grate and plan to have your cleaning supplies handy ahead of time.
Marinades and rubs tenderize meat and add flavor, but it all depends on how long the food is marinated. Duyff recommends a shorter marinating time (30 minutes to one hour) for more tender meat or
Make sure you have the grill grate adjusted so you are not cooking too close to the coals, which will cause food to cook improperly.
Cook your food to the right temperature inside.
(Hamburger = 160 degrees,
Pork = 170 degrees,
Chicken = 180 degrees.)
No thermometer? Chicken should not be pink and burgers should be brown inside.
Marinades and rubs are easy flavor boosters for any grilled dish. A marinade is a seasoned liquid that should contain an acid (such as wine, vinegar or lemon juice) to tenderize the meat. A marinade can be as simple as a salad dressing or a combination of fruit juices, oils, soy sauce, and wine. Rubs are made by combining herbs and spices and are usually dry. A little oil can be incorporated to help the rub adhere to the meat.
Separate raw and cooked meat and use clean plate and utensils for food handling.
Fuels and flavors
For gas grills, never use water until the gas is turned off.
delicate fish
Less tender meat can marinate overnight. If you don't have the time or the skill to produce your own flavorings, store-bought mixtures or a little oil and mustard can do the trick. Duyff says. Remember: aim to enhance, not overwhelm.
Williams varies marinades with meat types. For cheap steaks like the "patio steaks" at grocery stores, he uses a marinade of soy and Worcestershire sauce with dry mustard, garlic and parsley. On chicken he uses a honey mustad orange juice marinade, and if cooking kabobs, a teriyaki or a fajita marinade mix.
Fresh herbs such as oregano, sage, thyme, bay leaves and rosemary also add flavor. Molsten the herbs with water and place them directly on the coals during grilling.
"I've tried everything from red peppers to lemon garlic salt. There is a ton of possibilities," Peppes says.
Different types of charcoal and aromatic
woods can also be used for cooking and flavoring grilled foods. Hardwood chips or alder wood added to the fire early adds a woodsy flavor to your food, while mesquite charcoal burns cleanly, imparting a subtle flavor.
Get creative
Though meats and poultry are popular choices for outdoor cooking, grill food today includes an assortment of fresh vegetables, fruit and even pizza.
Williams likes to grill vegetables and fruit with his meat.
"I really like to sauté and then grill onions, bell peppers, yellow squash and zucchini. I've also grilled sweet potatoes and bananas for a tropical mashed potato dish," he says.
Take advantage of the warmer days ahead and try grilling fresh fruit or using simple marinades. You'll be amazed by the taste and your friends will keep coming back for more.

LITTLE-KNOWN.FOOD FACT
Think ordering pizza qualifies as an authentic Italian meal? Think again. While the true origin of pizza is unknown some believe it may have been invented in ancient Greece the pizza that's delivered to your door in 30 minutes or less was actually created in 1905 in New York City.

When asked to pass the salt, go the extra mile and offer the pepper, as well. Pass the shakers person to person until they reach the one who requested them. No hand-to-hand contact, though — when passing, simply set the salt and pepper on the table near the person next to you. This may not be the quickest way to get them from point A to B, but etiquette, after all, has never been about speed.

PREP YOUR PACK
by Carolyn Tharp
How
Whether you're going to Portland or Portugal, these tips can help.
Packing for a long trip is just like writing a paper you have to go back through your stuff a couple of times, savs Kerem Senqu, Istanbul, Turkey senior.
Picking the perfect pack
The size of your pack is a key factor in comfort. Meneses says. Backpacks are designed to fit different bodies and custom made for men or women. Travel packs vary in size, but many are built to fit in airplane overhead storage bins. Some also come with smaller attachable packs to take alone for dry trips.
From March to August, approximately 20 percent of sales at Backwoods, 916 Massachusetts St., are from students going on trips abroad, Adrian Meneses, manager of Backwoods, says.
Backpacking through foreign countries isn't easy, it takes preparation and planning. Not only are travelers headed to continents where people speak different languages and measure the temperature in Celsius, but travelers also have to anticipate everything they need for a long trip.
Bring the essentials,but not too much,says Meneses. Before strapping on a pack and heading across the ocean or border,take these handy hints to heart.
Meneses says to look for backpacks with concealed zippers.
Lighten your load
All you need for traveling are clothes, money and the proper documents, says Guzmán Garcia Rodriguez, Pontevedra, Spain graduate student. Rodriguez has traveled to 14 countries, staying in youth hostels and budget hotels. He packs lightly so we can easily keep track of
"You want to make it as difficult as possible for people to get into your backpack," he says.
his things.
And the less you have, the more mobile you are, Sengun says. Backpackers are always catching trains, using public transportation and moving around. A lighter load is easier on both you and the natives because you won't be bumping into them with your pack, Sengun says.
Airlines often have weight requirements for both carry-on and checked luggage. Ryanair, a United Kingdom-based airline, allows only 15 kilograms (33 pounds) for checked bags, according to ryanair.com. It charges a fee for each excess kilo, so packing light is easier on your wallet and your back.
Safety first
Tourist attractions often have thieves in the area who make a living by preying on confused tourists. When protecting yourself and your things, there's no such thing as overly-cautious.
"I sleep with my money in my socks," Rodriguez says.
Zippers with locks can be key to keeping your stuff safe. Look for Travel Sentry Certified locks, Menses says. Airport security has a master key to open them so the staff doesn't have to break them, causing you to buy more locks once you get overseas, he says.
Concealable money pouches should be like a second skin. They can strap onto your waist or hang around your neck and be tucked away under your clothes, hiding your passport, money and other valuables from pickpockets. Sengun wore one around his waist that tucked behind his belt.
Also, know where you're going. People tend to take advantage of travelers who look lost, Meneses says. And if you're traveling to a country that speaks a different language, try to know as much of it as possible, he suggests. Travelers can pick up phrase books with "how-tos" and facts about cultural differences.
The worst thing you can do is assume that everyone speaks English, Sengun says. The slightest effort to learn another language can improve your relationship and make you more welcome, he says.
You've picked a pack, thrown together the necessities and learned how to say "One beer, please," in several different languages. Now you can kiss Mom goodbye and set out to see everything from Stonehenge to the Great Wall of China.
How to book a hoste
Hostels and budget hotels are perfect places to meet other travelers. They're usually less expensive than hotels, and many hostels include guest kitchens, Internet access and breakfast. When searching for a hostel, look for cleanliness, safety and location, says Stephanie Coleman, branch manager at STA Travel in the Kansas Union. These travel tips can help you find a place to crash:
- The Internet is your friend. Web sites like hostelworld.com and hostelbookers.com provide hostel searches, ratings from past guests and online reservations. STA Travel personally researches hostels on its site, Coleman says.
- Know where you're headed. After booking your hostel, write down the directions and have a phone number handy in case you get lost. Always email to confirm that the hostel has
your reservation, says Kerem Sengun,
Istanbul, Turkey senior.
- Check out the atmosphere. If you're looking for a place to party, make sure you plan to stay somewhere without a curfew, says Kathleen Carey, Overland Park senior. She got locked out of her hostel in Barcelona late one night. If you're looking for peace and quiet, it's best not to stay in a hostel with a bar.

FASHION TREND: WIDE BELTS
Designer belts are some of the most fashionable accessories for men and women right now. Not only can you pick from a variety of styles and colors, but metalworkers and designers are even creating signature buckles that you can interchange with different bands. When it comes to the fit, you should buy a belt that is one size larger than your actual waist size, says Kathleen Herbst, employee at Weaver's, 901 Massachusetts St. As for
the width, belts are big right now...literally,

MY GIRLFRIEND TOLD ME SHE IS BISEXUAL, WILL SHE BE HAPPY BEING MONOGAMOUS WITH ME, OR WILL SHE FEEL LIKE SHE IS MISSING OUT ON SEXUAL EXPERIENCES WITH GIRLS? — JACK, SOPHOMORE
Jessica: Bless your heart, you're competing with two gender pools. It's not fair for either of you to be trapped in a relationship in which you both doubt your ability to meet the other's needs. It sounds like it's time to give her the opportunity to explore what she may be missing and, in the meantime, you can find someone who's sure you have her needs met.
Brian! I'd say you're faced with a difficult situation, but who am I kidding? You are probably one of the luckiest guys on campus. Take advantage of the situation.
Ask your lady if you could pick a girl out for the three of you. If she doesn't want a trio in the sack, at least make sure you can have the closest seat in the house.
Just be sure to let your girlfriend do who she wants.
Be open to the idea and let her be expressive.
DO GUYS LIKE TO BE BITTEN ON THE EAR, NECK, ETC.? I LIKE TO BITE, BUT NOT TOO HARD. IS THAT COOL?
— ELIZABETH, FRESHMAN
Brian: Biting is all about someone's personal preference. The best way to find out if a guy likes it is to just do it. If you ask before, the first thing he might envision is you taking a chunk out of his neck. Just take a nibble out of an insensitive area on his body. I recommend either the shoulder or the upper chest. If he likes it, try other places, possibly biting harder. Just don't get carried away and bite him below the belt. You could get punched in the face.
Jessica: Don't ask me. Ask the guy you're biting. "Do you think it's hot if I bite you here?" Playful biting may be a turn-on, but I'd run it by the guy first. As totally unsexy as that may seem, it's better than hurting him.
HOW DO YOU KNOW IF A WOMAN IS FAKING IT?
- PAUL, SENIOR
**Brian:** What? I don't know what you're talking about. I've never had a woman fake it and never will. I'm the greatest lover in the world. Women have glamms when I speak.
Jessica: The truth is. 72% of women have raked it, so it's not unrealistic to question whether your girl is too Obviously the best way to find out is to brace the subject lightly with no accusations, because it's something most women, if not all, are hesitant to talk about. Physical signs include her acting overly
theatrical or if you don't feel her muscles clench when she's coming. These are not hard-and-fast rules, but things to keep in mind if you're doubting whether she's having orgasms. Keep in mind she's not trying to fool you one of the main reasons for faking is to please a partner.
When visiting her boyfriend at an out-of-state university, Chelsie Foty, Minnetonka, Minn., senior, went to a party to meet her boyfriend's friends for the first time. Dressed up in a short, flowing skirt, Foty went to the ladies' room to freshen up. Five minutes after returning to her boyfriend and his entourage of male friends, a girl tapped Foty on the shoulder. She spun around to face the girl, just in time to hear, "Your skirt is tucked into your thong." Nice first impression.

JOB SEARCHING 101
Everything you've ever wanted to know about finding your first job
hv Melissa Byrrd
Guess which of the following job-searching faux pas Perry Golden, campus recruiter for Cerner Corporation in Kansas City, has seen students commit:
- A student walking around a career fair with her mom. The student's mother then proceeds to pick out which companies her daughter should talk to.
- A student unfamiliar with the Midwest thinking Missouri lies along the Canadian border.
- A student submitting a graph explaining the rise and fall of his GPA.
- A student submitting a résumé with a family portrait on the last page — in full color.
I know what you're thinking. Nobody in their right mind would commit any of those job-searching blunders, right? Wrong. Golden witnessed each and every one of these fatal mistakes.
College, like all good things, must come to an end. And when it does, it's critical to be armed with the skills necessary to find that first job after graduation.
With more employers expecting college degrees, students must learn how to make themselves stand out from other equally talented and
accomplished applicants. As David Gaston, director of the University Career Center, puts it, a degree is an entrance to the fair, not a ticket for a ride.
Professionals who specialize in career advice, authors, recent graduates and former students have valuable bits of wisdom to impart on what is a challenging and frustrating but, ultimately, rewarding rite of passage for all students.
How am I supposed to find a job I'll like?
Billy Jonathan Claustro Abando, Lawrence senior, needs a job, preferably in the technology field, when he graduates in May. Abando constantly fine-tunes his résumé and checks his e-mail, hoping that a company will offer him a job — a seemingly easy goal that's proving more difficult than he imagined. Especially when his mother calls him every day to ask if he has found a job vet, he says.
Gaston recommends beginning with a detailed self-assessment of what you want in a position and what skills you possess. This includes evaluating your personality, values and interests. Maybe you care about making a lot of money. Or perhaps
Abando at least knows what he wants in an entry-level job. But what if you don't even know where to start?
you are willing to sacrifice a little pay for a job you can't wait to get to every morning. You need to know what's important to you and what your talents are. "It's more on what you bring to the table than your major." Gaston says.
Make the career center your first stop when embarking on your job search, advises Louise Kursmark author of Best Résumés for College Students and New Grads.
"Exploit all your resources," Kursmark says. "Sit down and talk to people about the kinds of jobs available. Speak to actual people in the work force. Check out books." If you're really at a loss, you may even consider hiring a professional career coach, she says.
Never underestimate the importance of networking. Approximately 80 percent of jobs available are "hidden jobs," or unadvertised ones you must network to tap into. This is especially important for entry-level employees because employers would rather spend advertising dollars elsewhere, Kursmark says.
Gaston says networking is like playing six degrees of separation. Start by thinking of whom you know. If you're not comfortable with the person, don't ask for help directly. Ask for advice in an offhand way and he or she may surprise you by naming a contact. Gaston says.

THE ART OF THE COVER LETTER
- Opening paragraph: Explain who you are and why you are writing
Body: This is where you show your interest in the company Prove you did your homework and researched the company before writing the letter by including examples of what this company does that appeals to you as a potential employee. Provide examples describing how you fit the position's qualifications' - this is your sales pitch and the product you're selling is yourself.
"You get the job yourself," she says. "But connections can get your foot in the door."
you know, it's who you know" is an accurate description of jobhunting for students, says Lauren Airey, a public policy assistant for the American Farm Bureau in Washington,D.C.
One of the most difficult and dreaded tasks in the job search process is writing the cover letter. Not only is it unnatural to brag about yourself — especially in writing — but you also need to personalize each letter for the position and company you're applying for, which takes time.
The cover letter has three major components: the opening paragraph, the body (or sales pitch) and the call to action, says Gaston. The main purpose is to entice the employer to look at your resume. Here's the breakdown:
Sometimes, however, getting a job is no more than blind luck. That was the case for Amy Sullivan, a wedding coordinator for the Chicago Historical Society and a 2005 graduate. She stumbled on her job after interviewing with a catering company in Chicago. The person she interviewed with knew of a position Sullivan might be better suited for, so the interviewer faxed her resume to the Chicago Historical Society. After a 10-minute interview and two weeks of waiting, Sullivan had the job. But it was not without some serious work on her part. She made four trips to Chicago and interviewed nine times before landing her job
- Final paragraph: say thank you for the recipient's consideration, then provide a course of action, such as when you will follow up.
Do résumé really need to fit on one page?
Writing a résumé for a new graduate is tough, says Kursmark. To stand out from the heaps of résumés stacked on a recruiter's desk, it's crucial that yours is full of specific examples.
A résumé should be easy to read and concise. Typically (though
it depends on your field) the résumé should contain a three-to-five-sentence summary of your goals, Gaston says.
Descriptors are one of the most critical elements of a resume; they explain the experience you received from past jobs or activities. Use action verbs such as "managed," "developed," and "organized" and then follow with details to describe your experience. Beware of too much information, though. The last thing any employer wants to do is wade
on the one-page resume rule?
"If you genuinely have enough information, it's okay to go off onto a second page," she says. "But look at what you're saying. it needs to be relevant."
Gatson thinks it depends on the field. For education, it's more acceptable to go beyond one page; for sales and marketing, one page should be the maximum.
"It's a marketing tool, not a transcript of everything you've ever done," Gaston says.
through a river of meaningless text.
Interviewing: Necessity or torture device?
Nothing strikes more fear in the hearts of job hunters than the interview. Interviews can reduce even the most extroverted people to a bundle of nerves in a suit. (And yes, you should wear a suit.)
And where does Kursmark stand
If there was one common piece of advice career experts wanted to share about interviewing, it's this: prepare,prepare,prepare.
What's the quickest way to blow an interview with Perry Golden, campus recruiter for Cerner Corporation in Kansas City? "Be late," he says. "If you're on time, you're already 10 minutes late. It's best to arrive 15 minutes before the interview. And don't smoke. We can smell it on you."
One of the biggest mistakes students make is not researching a company before they go in to interview, says Mimi Collins, director of information for the National Association of Colleges and Employers.
"Every year we ask what advice employers would give students, and every year it's the same thing: Research the company," she says. "It's amazing how many people don't do that."
With the excess of information available online, it's hard to come up
What impressos him the most?
"When a student has done extensive research beyond the standard reading of the first page of our Web site"
with a reasonable excuse as to why you didn't do your research. Plus you can save yourself a lot of time by seeing if you are even interested in the position and the company.
Golden wants students to know two things about the interviewing process: Be honest and be selfish. "This is the one time to talk about you and your accomplishments — but of course still be honest," he says.
To prepare for an interview, a good place to start, once
again, is the career center, Career Services conducts 200 to 300 mock interviews per semester, Gatson says. Mock interviews are a great way to practice answering tough questions
and to get more comfortable with the interview process.
Practice is really what it's all about, says Randall Hansen, Stetson University marketing professor and creator of QuintCareers.com, a career development site. He suggests writing out answers to common interview questions — not to memorize them, but to be familiar with them — and to be able to tell stories that illustrate your experience. If you can have three or four bits of information you want your interviewer to know about you and stories to go along with them, you should be in pretty good shape.
What you want to do is minimize the percentage of the interview you're not prepared for, Gaston says.
WhitneyBartlow.anadministrative assistant for Stowers Medical Research, was caught off guard by the interview process.
"I didn't have any experience with business interviewing as a science major," the 2005 graduate says. Bartlow was particularly unprepared for the notorious "what is your weakness" question. "I hadn't thought about it," she says. Her advice? "Be prepared, because they are going to ask you some tough questions."
You've prepared, you've looked over your résumé and researched
the company. Now what to wear?
A suit is a necessity, says Kent McAnally, assistant director of University Career Center. And a suit is considered a matching set, either pants and jacket or skirt and jacket. Blazers and khaki pants need not apply.
Business casual is especially inappropriate for interviews, says Patty Noland, career development coordinator for the School of Journalism. "Students are used to dressing casual for classes, but they need to look the part of a professional while interviewing," she says. "You want to make a professional first impression."
Also, take care not to wear any distracting accessories. "You want people to remember you, and not the red flower on your coat," McAnally says.
You also want to be well-groomed and pay attention to the details in your ensemble. This means clipping your fingernails and shining your shoes.
"Everybody's always nervous," McAnally says. "But it's all about if you can handle the interview in a confident, composed manner."
Do 50 phone calls qualify as a nuisance?
You made it through the interview.
Now you're in a delicate situation —

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 11
and that you have the ability to take initiative by following up, but you don't want to irritate the employer. What to do?
Kursmark recommends following up with a phone call or e-mail no later than one week after the interview.
"Make it clear at the end of the interview when the next contact will be," she says. "If you don't hear from them by the date you discuss, then feel free to make the next move." More or less, make sure there's a timeline.
Be persistent, yet polite, Noland says. Employers are extremely
busy. Not only do they need to hire someone, but they have all of the tasks that go along with their job. Following up shows you are a self-starter. Employers wish more people would take the initiative and follow up, Noland says.
For Paige Worthy, a copy editor and page designer for Sun Tribune Newspapers and a 2005 graduate, persistence paid off. "I pestered the hell out of the managing editor," she says. "He wasn't in a hiring sense of mind, but I kept nagging and nagging until he asked me to come in for an interview." He eventually offered her a job.
ADVICE FROM THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN THERE
Lauren Airey, a public policy assistant for the American Farm Bureau in Washington, D.C., and a 2005 graduate: "Every job is a stepping stone. Even if you don't like what you're doing, you need to realize it's just a stepping stone."
Amy Sullivan, a wedding coordinator for the Chicago Historical Society and a 2005 graduate:
"Connections are really important. The more you have, the better off you are."
Whitney Bartlow, an administrative assistant for Stowers Medical Research and 2005 graduate;
"Research the company you want to work for. They are going to test you and you want to impress them with actual knowledge of what they do."
Paige Worthy, a copy editor and page designer for Sun Tribune Newspapers and a 2005 graduate:
"After you graduate,you have to opportunity to do something completely different.Take a risk and get out of your comfort zone."
This type of persistence can work, Noland says, but it depends on the type of job you're going for. In sales, for example, it's almost expected you will be somewhat aggressive when following up on a potential job.
What do employers really want?
When Golden looks for potential employees, he seeks out people who are well-rounded. Not only should the student be focused on school, but he or she should have also enjoyed college life by participating in organizations, clubs or intramurals, he says.
While employers aren't after one particular quality, excellent communication skills are always a must. Organizational skills, leadership skills, passion and an ability to plan long-term are all attractive qualities in a potential employee, Gaston says.
Internships and experience are necessary, even if the experience comes from a leadership position in an organization. Employers want to hear stories about how you have applied the skills you possess; it's not enough just to rattle off a list of skills in an interview.
And one final piece of advice for soon-to-be new graduates:
"Be realistic. It's your first job out of college, not a life sentence — it won't be the perfect job." Noland
1000
says. "Think about what you're passionate about. Find out what makes you eager and excited."

A family affair

The perks and pains of a sibling following you to school
by Stefanie Graves
As students, we deal with countless school, work and social responsibilities, but some have to deal with an additional variable when a sibling decides to attend the same university.
Many younger siblings feel more comfortable going to school with an older brother or sister because of the sense of familiarity, says Dr. Scott Stacey, a licensed psychotherapist at Acumen Assessments, 901 Kentucky St. An older sibling can "represent feelings of attachment, familiarity or an ease that the student felt growing up," he says.
But it's not always easy playing big brother.
"it's a challenge sometimes, having a younger brother here," says Rob Werling. Fort Scott graduate student. Although he and his sophomore brother, Brett, were fairly close growing up, Rob has had to make some adjustments to accommodate his brother's presence at KU.
The most difficult thing was making his parents understand that, while he was excited to have Brett in Lawrence, he didn't want to feel responsible for his
brother's decisions, he says, Still, Rob says that instincts sometimes kick in.
"I feel like I have to make sure things are going well for him, that his experience is up to his expectations," he says.
The sacrifices he's made were well worth it, Rob says. After living together, the brothers are closer than ever and Rob considers Brett one of his best friends. "It's been fun to live together without parents. I've learned a lot about my brother and he's taught me a lot about myself," he says.
Rivalries and having someone always looking over your shoulder can make being the younger sibling just as difficult.
Brett wanted to live in a dorm his freshman year. When his plans fell through, Rob let his brother stay with him and his roommates. Two years later, the brothers are still living together.
Ted Diepenbrock, Liberal junior, says he was excited when his older brother, George, decided to attend KU for graduate school, but that it can be hard having an older brother at the same university.
George can be patronizing, Ted says.
When a friend accidentally put a gash in Ted's head after goofing around, Ted got scolded.
It's common for siblings to develop specific personality roles, such as being the protector, Dr. Vera Rabie-Azoory says. When two siblings are close in age, one usually takes on the parenting role, says Rabie-Azoory in her online column The Truth About the Family Favorite.
It's not always easy, but having a built-in support system and someone nearby who cares has made the college experience better. Rob and Ted say. Although they've had to overcome a few hurdles, both are happy to have a brother in Lawrence.
George Diepienbrock says it's always been that way with his younger brother. On New Year's Eve, he showed up at a party to check on Ted and hung around to make sure his brother had a safe ride home.
"Our relationship wouldn't have been as close if we'd gone to different schools, definitely. It's been an experience that's affected the bond we have now and the bond we'll have throughout life," Rob savs.
Blood is thicker than conflict...
Rivalry isn't something that only kids deal with. Jealousy and competition follow many siblings into adulthood. Some of the factors that lead to sibling rivalry include:
- Stress - Stress in the life of one or both siblings can shorten fuses and cause conflict.
- Parents – if parents don't adequately teach siblings, as children, how to deal with stress, rivalries can be heightened.
- *The desire for Individuality - During college, young adults struggle to define who they are as an individual. Participating in different activities and pursuing different interests is essential.
- Attention - When friends or family don't give each sibling the same amount of attention and recognize individual achievements, it's easy for rivalries to develop.

KING KONG
It's one of those movies you need to see to be a respectable member of society. If you haven't experienced the 1972 classic, go to Woodruff Auditorium next Tuesday and see it for $1. Nominated for 11 Academy Awards and winner of three, the film is among the most heralded and revered in the history of cinema.
PINKIE THE GORGEOUS
The monster of the holiday season lands on DVD and is worth a second look. Dismissed as too long (true) and too overstuffed with effects (debatable), it is still lavish moviemaking at its best. Peter Jackson's enthusiasm for the original makes his remake, complete with its better effects, more action and Naomi Watts, a fan boy's wet dream.

FREEDOM IN THE WORLD
COCKTAIL OF THE WEEK Snakebite
1/2 pint of Woodchuck Cider or Strongbow
1/2 pint of Bully Porter Ale or Boulevard Pale Stout
Splash of Ribena, a black currant syrup
The Snakebite is an old British pub drink named for its strength or "bite".In the last 20 years, the Snakebite has been popularized in goth culture, made appealing by its purple tint and cheap potency, but at The Bourgeois Pig, 6 E. Ninth St., the drink is enjoyed by all. Russ Livingston, owner of the Bourgeois Pig, says the drink was imported to the Pig by one of their own bartenders who hailed from England. Variations of the drink appear in the northern and southern parts of England. Northern English tend to use a darker beer, while southerners use a lighter one to balance out the cider's flavor. By topping off the drink with extra from the Ribena, the Snakebite turns into a lethal concoction — oh, the pain never tasted so sweet.

The hazy, crazy life of Lawrence DJs
KIT LEFFLER
At 7 p.m. on a warm Saturday, Edwin Morales gear up for an electronic music DJ set at the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St. The crowd goes wild during Morales' two-hour set. At 9 p.m., Morales packs his records, his mixer and his turntables and jets off for another gig in Kansas City, Mo.
At midnight, his hip-hop set at club Kabal, 503 Walnut St., Kansas City, Mo., ends, and he's off on the road again to northern Kansas City to spin at a house party.
At 3 a.m. fatigue hits him hard.Morales packs his turntables and House Music records to drive back to Lawrence for one final gig at another house party. He wraps up at 6 a.m.
Morales was so tired that he fell asleep at the wheel on the way home."I woke up and barely missed hitting a guardrail on Highway 70,"he says."I was lucky."
The life of a DJ often seems to be all clubs, drugs, girls and parties. It's hard to understand the tremendous amount of effort, commitment and chaos a DJ goes through on a daily basis. The lives of DJs are complicated. But dedication keeps them doing it for years.
Morales, also known as DJ Konsept, began
spinning records in 1998. He says he's had his share of close calls and crazy situations."One time, this drunk girl knocked both of my turntables and my mixer off the unstable wooden table I was spinning on,"
Morales says, "I basically caught both turntables, one in each hand, and had to use my crotch to keep the mixer from falling and banging the tile floor."
Morales is not the only one who's had a close call. Lawrence DJ Tim Ruck recounts one night when all hell broke loose. Last year, he and his roommate, Daniel Oburn, spun records for 200 people at their house. "I didn't expect that many damn people to show up, and the cops came and busted the whole thing pretty quick," Ruck says.
His girlfriend, Toni Keener, recalls the night vividly. It was her 21st birthday and she spent it telling people to keep it down, she says.
AVERAGE COST OF DJ EQUIPMENT
Turntables $500 each
"I had to help protect the turntables from being knocked over by dozens of people." Keener says. "But, I support what Tim does."

hop. But it is extremely difficult to establish a regular spot at a venue, Ruck says.
One primary reason is that the Midwest electronic music scene remains so spread out that it's difficult to get a
Ruck, Overland Park sophomore, says that throwing DJ house parties is worth the risk. "I've had my records stolen, drunk girls puking on my living room floor, and don't get paid squat for spinning, but I love it so much."
Lawrence is full of up-and-coming talent in all music genres, especially electronic and hip
consistent crowd.
Ruck says a lot of promotion planning and networking are required to throw an event that draws a large audience. He has spun records at the Granada and Abe & Jakes, and is currently working with Daniel Osburn on Thursday evenings at EightOneFive Cafe and Nightclub.
Osburn, Newton senior, feels the same way about hosting and promoting club events. Osburn began spinning records three years ago and has since faced a constant challenge of grabbing people's attention.
"But, it's totally worth it," Osburn says. "Nothing makes me happier than throwing down tracks that people can groove to." Osburn remains hopeful that his night at EightOneFive will be a success.
Jeff Singer, owner of EightOne Five and a DJ, admires Ruck and Osburn's dedication to the electronic music scene. Singer says he has tremendous respect
for both of them."There are a lot of DJs in Lawrence, but only a few good ones, and Tim and Dan are excellent," he says.
Lawrence nightlife has changed in Singer's 18 years of DJ-ing, he says, but he's optimistic about new (and old) music fans attending his club in the future.
Kristin Doeblin, Wichita alumna, is one such fan. She says she frequently attends hip-hop and electronic music shows in both Lawrence and Kansas City. "I'm all about supporting the local shows around Lawrence," Doeblin says. "I love the fact that I live in such a diverse college town, not just culturally, but musically."
Ruck, Osburn, and Morales share one passion: They love music and love to make people dance. So, the next time you see any of these guys spinning records, remember that each pushes through late nights, noise citations and wild drunks to make you move and groove.

MUSIC
Unfortunately, this album leaves you scratching your head. *MuteMath* is full of spacey alternative rock that is sometimes good, but often boring. Their long meandering instrumentals generally left me bored and uninspired.
by MuteMath
There are four good songs. "Typical" provides a great opener to the album. Fast forward 15 minutes and you get to "Stare At The Sun,"with a great intro that could be the soundtrack to the next awful alien movie with a killer soundtrack. Skip another 15 minutes and you get to the last two tracks, "Picture" and "Stall Out,"which are a great close to the album.
Sure, four out of 12 songs is a better ratio than any Fallout Boy or Nickelback album, but four isn't enough to make this album worth buying.
MuteMath has quickly gained fans because of its constant touring and hard work. On February 9th, the band played at The Bottleneck to a sold-out audience eager to hear their blend of spacey alternative rock.Combining bouncy drumbeats and heavy organ, MuteMath's anthem-like sound has been winning over audiences night after night.

ANY WONDER BY VIOLET NINE
Straight out of Boston comes Violet Nine, a five-piece rock band with 6,784 MySpace fans, hipster rockstar fashion sense and a debut album out on April 4 — including a track already featured on the National Lampoon movie Cattle Call.
The band's MySpace page describes their music as My Bloody Valentine vs. Justin Timberlake; that's close. I describe it as The Strokes meets Our Lady Peace with a dash of Goth music. The higher points of the album
have a sort of indie rock flair, but are inevitably dragged down by clichéd heavy guitar riffs and pseudo-emo melodies.
It seems the band is trying to pull together some different genres, but fails to pull them together in a cohesive or credible way.

Bring It Back by Mates of State
Two-piece bands are becoming more and more popular, but unlike most, Mates of State abandon the guitar and uses organ, drums and two vocalists. And they manage to make two people sound as powerful as a fourperson band.
MATES OF STATE
TRAIN IT BACK
KU alumni Kori Gardner and Jason Hammel make up Mates of State and create a catchy blend of power pop. Usually power pop induces heavy vomiting, but Mates of State manages to write cheery pop songs while keeping integrity and creativity as their main focus.
★★★
On Bring It Back, their fourth full-length album, they continue writing their anthmetic pop, heavy in experimentation and hooks.
"Beautiful Dreamer" and "So Many Ways" are some of the catchiest songs I've ever heard.
"Running Out" is a great six-and-a-half minute closer, complete with a memorable refrain.
In an age in which sugary pop music is reserved for 12-year-olds, Mates of State creates memorable melodies and catchy choruses that satisfy an adult audience.

Q: How is each disc different?
A: It originally started out as two albums, a rock album and a second one that was a different style. But then we wanted to make a story with dialogue that went along with the music. Then we had one really long album.
Q: What made you decide to make a triple album?
album is awaiting release, but the band's Take Action Tour will stop by the Granada on April $ _{6} ^{th}. $
A: The first disc is a rock album. It's more mature than our old stuff. The second disc is kind of folky. Some songs have a country feel and there are some pop songs on there. The third album is a story with dialogue and music intertwined throughout.
Q: How do you feel this album is different than your last album, The Room's Too Cold?
A: We've all grown in our music styles, and we wanted to do something different. The album is still us, but it's a lot more grown-up.
Q: What's the story behind the title: The Mother, The Mechanic, and The Path?
A. "The mother" just came off the top of our heads. "The mechanic" is the rock CD. We produced it to sound bigger than the other two albums. It's higher quality. "The Path" is the story CD. It's like a journey backed with music.
Q: When is the album supposed to come out?
A: We don't know. They just pushed the release date back. It should be out within the next six months.
Q: How have things changed for the band since you released The Room's Too Cold?
A: We did a lot of touring off it and we're still touring off it. It's coming towards the end, so it kind of feels like we're beating a dead horse. We've become a new band. As soon as this new CD comes out, it'll lift our spirits.
Q: Can you support yourself financially with the money you make from the band?
A: None of us have jobs. For the most part, if we're not on tour, we're writing, so it leaves no time to have an actual job. The money #s nothing fantastic, but it's enough to get by.
Q: Why should people come see the Take Action Tour?
A: There are a lot of good bands. Plus it's for a good cause [suicide prevention]. It's a good time.

TWO TAKES: V FOR VENDETTA
MOVIE
Rated R,132 minutes
I'm scared. I'm scared for the state of things in this world. Has our government engineered my fear to serve its purpose? It's frighteningly possible, and V For Vendetta is here to call us out on our fear and beg us to take action.
A welcome relief to an inane movie season, V For Vendetta shocks, challenges, confronts and disturbs.The film doesn't care. what your political beliefs may be. It has its message and it is going to shove it down your throat.
It is 2020 and a Palpatine- esque High Chancellor is in
control of a totalitarian British government. A masked freedom fighter/terrorist named V (Hugo Weaving) threats to blow up Parliament in a year's time if the High Canonical doesn't step down. Through dumb luck, a young woman (Natalie Portman) becomes intartwined in V's plans.
I recently saw White House Press Corp reporter Helen Thomas speak on campus. One of the questions she had was, where are the activists? This is exactly what V For Vendetta asks. The film paints what essentially are
A
terrorist acts in a positive light. We want V to succeed. We want the futuristic British population to stand up and fight back. But what the film really excels at is hammering home the fact that this "fictitious" situation is much too close to our own reality. An encompassing moment is when V sets up the most elaborate (an ultimately useless) domino show ever. Dominos start with one and then they all fall into place, a worthy metaphor for the way revolutions are started.
Sure, the film has its share of schmalzt (it is a comic book movie) but at the end you're so enraptured by its message and astounded by its visuals that the schmalz doesn't matter.
At one point, V says, "People shouldn't fear their governments, governments should fear their people." After watching this film, I
couldn't agree more.
★★★★
Lindsey Ramsey
"The oppressed should rebel and they will continue to rebel and raise disturbance until their civil rights are fully restored to them."
V for Vendetta rocks. It's a political thriller that actually has something to say. The film's brilliance is evident from Natalie Portman'serie and passionate opening monologue to the films explosive and touching finale. The year is 2020 and every facet of English society is ruled by a totalitarian British government that covers up its deadly messes. The government implements curfews, the Chancellor of England controls all media and gays are taken to concentration camps. England is like Nazi Germany and America's unity has been reduced to "the Colonies." Epidemics have covered the globe and England is infested with violence, intolerance and
repression
One of the film's many strengths is its mature and passionate cast. Natalie Portman plays a young civilian named Evie whose deceased* parents were political activists. Portman portrays Evie as a smart and tough young woman. Her Queen's English accent is too shabby either British actor Stephan Rea plays a curious and good-hearted detective employed by the dictatorial Chancellor The threatening Chancellor is effectively creepy throughout. Huge Weaving brilliantly portrays the film's puppetmaster, the ominous and passionate V.
Despite the mask Weaving gives the film's violante a charming wit, intelligence and, most of all, humanity V could have easily been a laughable, and flamboyant tunic without Weaving's sincerity. The relationship between Eric and V is never defined and it keeps you guessing. Despite its effective cast.
the film has some flaws. The first half is too complicated, trying to cover too many Stories and characters. However, during the second half the plot and characters all connect together seamlessly. V For Vendetta does a wonderful job examining the threats against personal freedoms and the actions that must be taken to reclaim them. It also reveals the true man behind the mask of V and an mortality
V for Vendetta is a violent, smart and sly action film with a bleeding heart. The film's potency lies in its messages that an idea is more important than the man who encampasses it and that a little revolution is a good thing.

THE WAR ON FOOD
I'll eat it.
一
How international cuisine overthrew my dietary defenses by Tara Schupner
The menu was in German, but I placed my order confidently. I was taking a risk, but I was eager. I was in an unfamiliar country and, by God, I would try something new.
After 20 minutes,my meal arrived.
I stared at my dish, as pop-eyed as the trout goggling back at me. In horror, I silently questioned whether the fish was actually dead. Its tail, fins, scales and head were intact. I picked up my fork and poked cautiously at it.
Could I take the bold step of eating a whole, bony fish? It was something I'd never done before, but it would be a step forward in my life-long battle with my culinary demons.
I grew up an extremely picky eater. I hated food, and food hated me back. The day I realized that food hated me was when I was 11 and my mother told me I couldn't leave the table unless I ate my green beans. I sat there for an hour, slumped in my chair, arms crossed, pouting.
My mother finally conceded. One mouthful of green beans and she would release me from my misery.I carefully picked up two pieces on my fork and, grimacing, placed them in my mouth.
I immediately ran to the bathroom and threw up. My mother never asked me to eat green beans again.
It wasn't just the taste of certain foods I hated. It was also the texture. For a while, I couldn't stand lettuce because I thought it tasted and felt like the grass I ate when I was 5. I don't like apples because of their mixture of juiciness and crunchiness, or oranges because they're squishy and pulpy. I don't even like crunchy peanut butter.
But when I traveled abroad for the first time, to Italy with my high school Latin club, it was eat or starve. No longer could I avoid eating tomatoes. Tomatoes were everywhere.
When in Rome, do as the
Romans do, I reminded myself.
So, curling my toes with dread, I took that tentative first bite of a tomato-and-mozzarella pizza. As my toes uncurled and my eyes popped open, I realized that God had made it and it was good!
After I returned, I started trying foods I'd previously turned up my nose at. I compromised and started eating salad — lettuce only, with oodles of dressing. Gradually, the proportion of lettuce-to-dressing changed for the healthier I tried salted snap peas and liked them. After a friend twisted my arm, I tried her favorite Thai dish — curry chicken in coconut milk — and became a frequent Thai eater.
I also tried apple pie for the first time, discarding the apples but eating the crust and goo. Then I started eating the apples, too.
When I went to England with KU's London Review class, I tried
pie of a different sort: chicken and melted stilton cheese pie. I fell in love with it and, the next day, ordered stilton cheese by itself. I received a hunk of raw pale yellow cheese with green mold threaded throughout it. I looked at it in horror as I realized I'd eaten moldy cheese. I bravely bit into it anyway. Confronted by its rancid taste, I spat the cheese back out into my napkin. But I congratulated myself for trying it.
A year later and several countries away, I looked at my little fish and, with the history of my war on food in mind, thought: "When in Germany, do as the Germans do."
But a *whale fish?* I looked up at my family. My brother was snickering behind his hand. My mother, usually stoic, was trying to contain a fit of the giggles. They didn't believe I would eat it.
Shoving my dish to the side, I told my father to take off the fish's head.
I would not, could not eat that fish while its eyes stared back at me in condemnation.
As I kept my eyes averted, my father lopped off the head and pushed the plate back over to me. He patiently explained how to remove the bones and chew the meat carefully.
No longer hesitant, I poured the melted herb butter over the fish and dug in. It took me almost an hour to painstakingly strip the meat away from the bones and eat bite after small bite, paranoid about impaling the roof of my mouth with a fish bone.
As I looked at the heap of bare bones with satisfaction, my parents were busily persuading me that, as delicious as the fish may have been, we really did not have time for me to eat another one.

Schools' rankings on the rise
Law deans question list's relevance
BY MELINA RICKETTS
mrickets@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Both the School of Law's and School of Education's U.S. News and World Report rankings are going up, but the schools' deans are mixed on what that really means.
In the magazine's rankings of public institutions, released today, the law school's ranking went up 16 spots to 35, and the education school's five spots to 15.
Stephen McAllister, professor of law and former dean of the school, said that the rankings were sensitive to minor deviations in the report's categories and that he was not sure they were connected to the real world.
"I'm skeptical of all this from the get-go," he said. "But people pay attention to them, especially students, so you can't completely ignore them, as much as you'd like to sometimes."
Mike Davis, interim dean of the School of Law, said he agreed with McAllister for the most part. He said the law school hadn't changed since last year's rankings came out. The category that measures the school's reputation among lawyers and judges is meaningful, he said.
"That's the one thing that's concrete." he said.
But Rick Ginsberg, dean of the School of Education, said
in a press release that the new rankings were a great external validation of the strength of the graduate programs at the University.
He said high-quality students, faculty, researchers and staff should be credited for the increase.
The University's special education program also kept its No.1 ranking among public universities and the University retained its No.3 ranking for paleontology.

Jimmie Manning, Liberal graduate student and Pride Week chairman, said that the parade and rally has been a huge success in the past, and that it is time for the other groups in the conference to be part of that. At 1 p.m., Michaela D.E. Meyer, a keynote speaker who has written journal articles about queer life in the Midwest, will lecture at the Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
She will give a motivational speech for LGBT students who are making the transition into a heterosexual college atmosphere. The conference will continue until 5 p.m. at the Kansas Union with different activities and group discussions.
A lock-in tonight for those enrolled to attend the conference will help break the ice and make the conference more comfortable. The lock-in will start at 9 p.m.at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries,1204 Oread Ave.
"People will get to play games,get to know each other,mingle and socialize," Manning said.

Dorice Elliott, chairwoman of the English department, said not having an on-campus copy center had been difficult for her department.

Greek councils to collaborate for step show
BY RACHEL PARKER

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
For the first time, students from each of the greek councils will be participating in the historically minority National Pan-Hellenic Council's annual step show.
A group from the Interfraternity Council and a group from the Panhellenic Association will participate in the show with groups from each of the chapters of the NPHC.
Stepping consists of beats made with the body, like claps or stomps, and it is traditionally without music. Canes can also be used to help make beats. The strolling part of the performance is movement made in a line of unity with all participants in the group to music.
The NPHC will hold the annual event at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the Lied Center.
The show is a traditional performance that holds cultural significance for fraternities and sororities in the organization. Groups participating have been practicing since the beginning of
the semester.
The show will consist of different groups stepping, strolling and chanting, said Betsy Copeland, Sigma Lamda Gamma treasurer and participant in the show.

ODD NEWS Intoxicated hitchhiker flags down wrong car
SYDNEY, Australia - A tipsy tourist couldn't spot Ayers Rock despite parking only 100 yards away with his headlights pointing at the landmark, police said.
A 44-year-old Australian man flagged down a car late Tuesday night thinking it was carrying park rangers and asked directions to the giant red monolith jutting out of an Outback plain.
Unfortunately for the hapless tourist, the car was carrying police.
"Nonetheless, the tourist told police he and his female companion wanted directions to the rock." Northern Territory Police said in a statement. "The police officer breatha-lyzed the driver after pointing out his headlights were shining right at it"
The man was found to be driving with excess alcohol in his blood and without a license. He was ordered to appear in court on May 18.

Cantankerous cat earns restraining order
FAIRFIELD, Conn. — Lewis the cat is terrorizing his neighborhood — and now the town's animal control officer has issued the feisty feline a restraining order.
In effect, Lewis is under house arrest, forbidden to leave his home.
"He looks like Felix the Cat and has six toes on each foot,each with a long claw," said neighbor Janet Kettman "They are formidable weapons."
The neighbors said those
weapons, along with stealth, have allowed Lewis to attack at least a half dozen people and ambush an Avon lady getting out of her car.
Some of those who were attacked ended up seeking treatment at area hospitals.
Animal Control Officer Rachel Solveira arrested the cat's owner, Ruth Cisero, charging her with failing to comply with the restraining order and reckless endangerment.

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
A world music benefit concert will feature a number of new, full-length compositions from Lawrence artists, as well as a presentation of traditional Tibetan folk music. The concert will benefit two summer projects in the Qinghai Province of China.
Tendel Group is a non-profit organization that specializes in helping the rural residents of the Qinghai Province of China.
The concert, which is free and open to the public, will start at 7 p.m. Sunday at Bodyworks Downtown Massage Therapy and Yoga Studio, 13 E. Eighth St.
The concert was brought together by musician Stacey Fox and the Tendel Group. The
Solar cookers are large magnifying glasses that Tibetans in rural areas use to boil water and cook food. The solar cookers serve as an alternative energy source, which reduces the amount of expensive coal the villagers must purchase.
The concert is accepting donations to raise funds for two summer projects. The first project will fund schoolbooks for Tibetan primary school children and the second project will fund solar cookers for families in the region.
Deborah Peterson, professor of East Asian Studies, started the Tendel Group along with Jermay, a Tibetan KU graduate student.
"Many of these families only make about $50 a month and the children do not attend school because they're usually collecting fuel for their families. If we can help with these solar cookers, it helps an area with a low amount of resources," she said.
Fox, a local percussionist, is responsible for bringing together other local musicians for the event. She said the concert would feature a rare opportunity to hear new music from the artists and give back to a good
cause.
"This concert will improve the quality of living for these Tibetan areas and everybody should have a certain quality of life," she said. "I have traveled all over the world and I have learned that every culture has a drum and a voice. We hope to express that voice."
jermay said, "I don't want people to think the beneficiaries receiving help from our program are inferior or impoverished and that they need our help," he said. "We don't want people to pity them; we want people to feel like it is an interesting and worthwhile thing to do."

Genetic enhancement may 'improve' people
BY FRED A. DAVIS III
fdaisv@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
No more blind people. A world where every male is six inches taller if he chooses to be. The ability to concentrate longer — without the help of medication.
Those possibilities, and others, were discussed by Dan Brock, director of the Division of Medical Ethics at the Harvard Medical School.
PETER M. HOWARD
The potential of those dramatic changes
Brock
hinge upon genetic engineering, which Brock spoke about to a packed room of about 80 people at the Kansas Union Thursday night.
Brock's speech, "The Ethics of Using Genetics to Make People Better," centered on two main points: using genetics to prevent diseases in humans before birth and the idea of genetic enhancement to "improve" people who would otherwise have no real health problems.
The use of genetic testing is already practiced in both pre- and post-conception instances.
Diseases like Huntington's and two different types of breast cancer genes are just a sample of the genes that can be tested to see if a fetus may have the affected gene.
One problem that arises when a fetus is discovered with a disability, for instance, is whether to abort the child, or decide to raise a disabled child, Brock said.
Or should a person wait to possibly have a child without a disability, if genetic testing can indicate the child will be without a disability?
That question, while difficult, is ultimately left to the prospective parent.
specifically the disabled community, argue that eliminating the number of disabled people would reduce the support of disabled people already living.
Brock countered that argument with an analogy. He asked if support and research for lung cancer would decrease if there was a push for smoking prevention.
His second point, natural enhancement through genetics, drew substantial interest from the audience.
One audience member said that natural enhancement was akin to playing God and that misuse of it was a grave danger.
Brock replied that he did have concerns about the misuse of natural enhancement, but that possible advancements like improved memory and reduced need for sleep were viable reasons for genetic natural enhancement research.

Parks and Rec to have birthday bash

Lawrence's Parks and Recreation Department is celebrating 60 years of serving the Lawrence community Sunday. An event called "Day of Fun," which involves Delta Delta Delta sorority and Phi Kappa Psi fraternity, will commemorate the event from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at South Park, 1141 Massachusetts St.
Since the Parks and Recreation Department was established in 1946, it has been a finalist for the National Parks and Recreation Association's Gold Medal Award program

The event is open to the public. Roger Steinbrock, Parks and Recreation marketing supervisor, said many people had inquired about the day. Steinbrock organized the event.
"It's a time for us to celebrate and let people know that we've been in business for that many years," said Fred DeVictor, director of Parks and Recreation.
Ryan Lonergan, community service chairman and Mission Hills sophomore, said 20 members would help facilitate the various games. Phi Kappa Psi decided to help with this event as their "Day of Service" that the national fraternity instigates.
Delta Delta Delta has about eight people who will help mostly with face painting and working with children.
"I think it will be a really good experience to interact with kids in the community," said Caitlin Yarusso, Castle Rock, Colo., freshman. "Community service is important, including things like cleaning up trash, but I think when you're helping people you get a really good feeling."
In the event it rains Sunday, the "Day of Fun" will be held in the Lawrence Community Building, 115 W. 11th St.

"It's a way to identify other sisters and brothers in your organization." Copeland said.
Jason Oruch, IFC liaison, said that he took pride in the fact that greeks from all three groups were working together for a single event. The Plano, Texas, freshman said it was a great way to start combining all three Greek councils. The IFC helped organize a team of six from the University's fraternities, including executive board members and a chapter president, Oruch said.
Copeland said the show's cultural significance goes back in history and could be traced to what she thought were a combination of theories. One theory is rooted in the tradition of African-American slaves using beats and sounds
to communicate with each other. A second theory is that African Americans started using culture beats during the late 1800s and early 1900s on college campuses where there were less prominent groups compared to the white society that sang and serenaded at events. A master of ceremonies will announce each group during the show, giving them 15 minutes to perform. An intermission will break the six performances in half. Organizations in the NPHC will compete for a trophy. Tickets can be bought for $12 in advance through the Lied Center, University Theatre or SUA box offices. At the door, ticket prices will be $15.
An after party will follow the show in the Ballroom at the Kansas Union. The cost for the reception is $5 with a ticket, and $10 without.

If you see broken windows, missing ceiling tiles or chipped facades on buildings around campus, don't worry, the maintenance department knows. Well, then again, maybe you should worry because they can't do much about it. These problems are called "deferred maintenance projects," and they fill a list that goes on for about 30 pages and chronicles 10 years worth of window, masonry and roof problems.
Then the microburst hit and the University sustained an additional $4 million in damages. In comparison, this fiscal year the University received $4.36 million in repair and rehabilitation funds from the state legislature. To repair a single damaged roof — the University has 42, according to Mark Reiske, associate director of design and construction management — it would cost about $500,000. Normally, that is the amount in the budget that goes specifically toward roof repair each year. Reiske said his department was trying desperately to do temporary repairs on the roofs now. They have had limited success.
Last year, an evaluation conduced by the Board of Regents revealed the six state universities needed $584 million to take care of all the maintenance and repairs. The KU campus in Lawrence alone would require $168.5 million.
"They shouldn't leak if it rains, but that's about it." Reiske said.
Gov. Kathleen Sebelius' request for federal aid for repairs is a step in the right direction. The amount she requested, however, would barely cover a fraction of what is needed, and who knows if we will actually receive any money.
What's worse is the current
Issue: Deferred maintenance projects
In all likelihood, this proposal -- while realistic and necessary -- probably will not be approved because it includes one dreaded word: Taxes. Senators claim right now there is an anti-tax climate, but that is just political jargon for "election year." Essentially, Kansas schools are being told, once again, just wait another year and hope the buildings don't crumble too badly.
situation that the regents and the University are in again with funding from the state legislature. Just last week, the Regents proposed a financial package of a tax increase and bonds to subsidize the accumulated repairs at the six state schools to the State Senate budget committee. The package included a statewide $1 million property tax,$150 million in bonds and an increase in sales taxes ending in 2016.
Stance: Continued postponement is unacceptable.
The deferred maintenance situation is a problem that needs improvement soon — not next year or even a few months, but now. Who knows how long the temporary roof repairs will hold up? As students, we should let the University, regents and state legislature know we do not pay so much money to learn in classrooms with leaky roofs and broken windows. We deserve better.

War on terror should extend to Africa
GUEST COMMENTARY
During the event, we watched a documentary entitled "Invisible Children," which detailed how children in war-torn Uganda must walk for miles every day to distant cities in order to find sanctuary and a safe place to sleep. They do this out of fear of being captured and forced to fight. Most of the children are orphans, their parents killed by the war, the AIDS epidemic, or one of the many other causes of early death in Uganda.
I attended a presentation put on by KU FIGHT and KU Students for Uganda. These groups strive to raise awareness about the grave situations in Sudan, Uganda and other parts of Africa. For the past twenty years, a rebel military group known as the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) has been abducting, torturing and brainwashing children as young as five years old to become trained soldiers, forcing them to fight and kill for a cause they are too young to even understand.
The children gather together by the hundreds, piled on top of each other like so many sacks of grain, with no parents or adults to watch out for them or keep them under control. Without adult supervision, the children are forced to fend for
As I watched the film, I had to continually bite my lips and knuckles to keep from breaking down in tears. These children have done nothing to hurt anyone else. They are innocent.
themselves.
Yet every day of their existence is filled with terror. Constantly looking over their backs, they must deal with the realities of having dead or missing loved ones, all the while wondering if tonight is when they will be conscripted
These children need our help, and the only way we can do that is by pledging our time and our resources to convince our government to intervene. President Bush has declared a war on terrorism, and that is just what these rebels who abduct children are, terrorists.
If you are a traditional KU student, the average age of these children is just about half your age.
Write to your representatives and tell them that you want the situation in Uganda to end. Tell them that you want the children to finally have peace.

I am of course referring to the upcoming elections for Student Senate, and the people approaching you — the minions of either Delta Force or Ignite. Pretty much these are hyped up high school student council elections. StuCo on steroids. It's the same people from your high school running again, it's just that there's a lot more of them this time.

You might have a chance if you walk to class in the middle of the street, though I bet there's some poor sap stationed there now, too. Another method that used to work, but is not always effective now, is wearing the button of one of the groups. This was my method last year, and I was actually approached by people of the opposite party trying to convince me to change my vote. They spent more time talking to me than they would have had I been wearing no button.
Much as abstinence is the only 100-percent effective way to avoid pregnancy, not going to class is the only 100 percent effective way to avoid Delta Force and Ignite. So take a couple of weeks off and wait for this whole thing to blow over. Either that or somehow get The Kansan to run an editorial by you, where you come off as completely shallow and not caring, and have them put your smiling mug next to it.
I'll let you know next year how this one works.

When I was in high school, I was in fact one of them. I ran for president of my class as a sophomore on the misguided dream that I was going to change my school for good and help my fellow man. That dream lasted all of about ten seconds, when at the first meeting the entire time was spent
So that is why this year I, as I have for the past two years, will be picking which party I vote for based on one simple question: Who was the most attractive person that approached me, and which party was she from? Sure, each party supposedly has different views, and trust me, they are more than willing to tell you what these views are. It's just I don't care about these views and ever since Senate failed to get booze into the Jaybowl, I really doubt whether Senate could do something that either the provost or chancellor do not want.

COMMENTARY
MARK VIERTHALER opinion@kansan.com
Give them more than noise; give them music
Recently, The University Daily Kansan has been a forum for indignation concerning noise complaints holding sway over academics. Free-for-All comments have expressed outrage that "the Donkey Incident" may affect their GPA. Columnists have brought down the righteous hand of opinion to shame the powers that be. How can they deny college students the basic right of vomit-soaked carpets and blurry mornings after? Even Delta Force has fired up its lobbying machine to fight University power over off-campus noise, declaring it a key platform issue.
"But, Mark," you may be asking, "If you hold such disdain for these discussions, why are you weighing in? And more importantly, why are you just now talking about it?" And I would say to you: "Because I have writers block, and I don't get paid to be timely. As a matter of fact I don't get paid."
However, I am in full support of the University punishing us for off-campus noise complaints. If people want to be so damn noisy, I say we give them a show. But, let us not blast rap or heavy metal, for these things are old hat. People have come to expect Jay-Z shaking the windows while Greeks make awkward attempts at dancing. The Goth folks, painted in white and blasting The Cure from their Volvos of Death, elicit only a yawn even from the most prudent of noise-o-phobes.
Even the screaming highs and lows of punk evoke images of Hot Topic and angry suburban kids wearing plaid. In essence, people know what to expect from their noise complaints. If the hammer is brought down on us for making noise, it is our duty as the best and the brightest to forge a brand new hedonism.
Who can complain if we're participating in what has been dubbed "high art?"
We need to be noisy, we need to be rowdy, and we need to get into fist fights while Vivaldi blasts from every available speaker. Besides, as my buddy says: "It's what Jesus would have wanted."
"The little heathens are exposing us to the profanity of Handel!"
It's time we shattered the windows with Charles Gounod's Faust. We need to feel the thumping bass of Leos Janácek's Jenufa. It's time we send the message, not only to our landlords, but to the University itself. If you're going to spy on us, that's fine. But, we are going to confuse the hell out of you in the process.
And this leads me to my other idea: Merlot body shots...

U.S. action displeases Shiite leader
BY QASSIM ABDL-ZAHRA THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Alaa al-Mariani/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAGHDAD, Iraq — A letter from President Bush to Iraq's supreme Shiite spiritual leader, Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, was hand-delivered earlier this week, but sits unread and untranslated in the top religious figure's office, a key al-Sistani aide told The Associated Press on Thursday.
Kareem, a Iraqi boy who fled from Abu Ghraib to Najaf, plays in a migration camp in the desert north of Najaf, Iraq. Thursday. Some 33,000 Iraqis, mainly Shiites, were displaced in Iraq following the Feb. 22 attack on an important Shiite shrine north of Baghdad, an official with the International Organization for Migration said Thursday.
The aide — who has never allowed use of his name in news reports, citing al-Sistani's refusal to make any public statements himself — said the Ayatollah had laid the letter aside and did not ask for a translation because
of increasing "unhappiness" over what senior Shilite leaders see as American meddling in Iraqi attempts to form their first, permanent post-invasion government.
The aide said the person who delivered the Bush letter — he would not identify the messenger by name or nationality — said it carried Bush's thanks to al-Sistani for calling for calm among his followers in preventing the outbreak of civil war after a Shiite shrine was bombed late last month.
The messenger also was said to have explained that the letter reinforced the American position that Prime Minister Ibrahim
al-Jaafari should not be given a second term. Al-Sistani has not publicly taken sides in the dispute, but rather has called for Shite unity.
The United States was known to object to al-Jaafari's second term, but has never said so outright and in public.
But on Saturday, U.S. Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad carried a similar letter from Bush to a meeting with Abdul-Aiz al-Shakim, leader of the largest Shiite political organization, the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq.
displeasure with U.S. involvement was so deep that dignitaries in the holy city of Najaf refused to meet Khalilizad on Wednesday during ceremonies commemorating the death of the Prophet Muhammad. The Afghan-born Khalilizad is a Sunni Muslim.
The al-Sistani aide said Shiite
Elizabeth Colton, the U.S. Embassy spokeswoman, said Khalilzad had not sought any meetings and simply flew over Najaf and the nearby holy city of Karbala to witness the big processesions of Shiite faithful marking the day.
"The ambassador did a飞 over to see people on the streets of Karabala and Najaf. The ambassador did not ask to see anyone and did not go into either city." Colton told The Associated Press.
The United States is believed to oppose al-Jaafari because of his close ties and strong backing from radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, who has thousands-strong heavily armed militia that was responsible for much of the violence that hit the country after the Feb. 22 bombing of an important Shiite shrine in Samarra, north of Baghdad.
At a news conference Thursday, al-Jafairi said he had met with Khalilizad a day earlier and that the U.S. ambassador denied remarks attributed to him about the prime minister's candidacy for a new term.
"I don't care much about these matters. I look at the Iraqi people and the democratic mechanisms," al-Jaafari said.

An unidentified man wades into the sea while holding a searchlight late Thursday after a passenger ferry sank off the coast of Manama, Bahrain. Bahraini officials said the ferry was carrying up to 150 people when it sank Thursday night off the coast of Bahrain. Dozens of bodies were recovered and dozens of survivors have been rescued.

U. S. helicopters aid in recovery

MANAMA, Bahrain — A ferry carrying up to 150 people sank Thursday night in the Persian Gulf off the coast of Bahrain. Interior Minister Sheik Rashid bin Abdulla Al Khalifa said at least 52 people had been rescued.
At least 44 bodies had been recovered, the country's interior minister said. American divers and a U.S. helicopter aided the rescue effort.
The official Bahrain News Agency said the ferry was on an

evening cruise that was to last several hours. It overturned less than a mile off the coast, it said.
"There are 52 survivors and there are also 44 dead that were retrieved," Al Khalifa said on Bahrain television. "So far, the operations continue. God willing, there will be more survivors rescued."
There was no indication of what caused the ferry to sink in what appeared to be ideal weather conditions.
The government dismissed terrorism as a cause, and the news agency quoted Interior Ministry spokesman Maj. Mohammed Ben Dayna as calling the sinking an accident.
"It's too early to say what caused the accident," he said.
The passengers on board were thought to be a mix of Bahrainis, other Gulf Arab nationals and Westerners.
Ben Dayna said those rescued included foreign tourists and expatriate workers living in Bahrain.
The interior minister said most of the ferry's passengers were employees of a Bahrain-based company and that they came from several nationalities.
Cmdr. Jeff Breslau, a spokesman for the Bahrain-based Navy 5th fleet, told The Associated Press that the U.S. military was aiding the rescue effort.
"We're sending divers, small boats and a helicopter right now." Breslau said.
A pair of helicopters could be seen from the shore flying low over the site of the incident.
Rescue teams on small boats could also be seen using flash lights to help them search for survivors in the night.

Let's be honest. For men's sports, baseball has always ranked third on the list at Kansas. There's the famed basketball team, the football team, and then the baseball team.
College baseball might not ever have the popularity that happen
and football does. What I saw Wednesday night at Hoglund Ballpark, though, as Kansas defeated No. 13 Wichita State 8-2, was a Kan- don't know what better way to spend my time on a spring day than to head to the ballpark and watch baseball.
that's getting excited about its team and about baseball.
I don't know what better way to spend my time on a spring day than to head to the ballpark and watch baseball. Our generation has been filled with distaste of the sport and complaints about the games lasting too long and not enough action taking place.
It'd be tough to deduce that from Wednesday in Lawrence.
I never saw a crowd like it in my three years of attending ballgames at Hoglund Ballpark. People continued to file in to the ballpark after every seat was filled. Then it came to my attention that no one else ever saw a crowd like that at Hoglund either. It was the largest crowd — 2,324 fans — to ever watch a KU baseball game in the park's history.
Maybe people are excited about the Jayhawks' 18-10 record. Maybe they like the new scoreboard at Hoglund, which was damaged by the microburst. Or maybe they are remembering how fun it is to go to the ballpark and watch live baseball.
And you can't beat the price free for KU students and less than $10 a ticket for the general public.
Tonight the Jayhawks start a three-game series against the Missouri Tigers. It's the baseball edition of the Border Showdown and Missouri was in the Baseball America poll early in the year.
The Jayhawks always need fans to help beat the archival Tigers, so what better way to spend a Friday night? The weather should provide a perfect night to spend at the ballpark.
I just know more than 2,324 fans can fit into that ballpark. If not, maybe it's time to expand.

MU ace heats up for KU
BASEBALL

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
He has started an NCAA Regional game. He pitched for the USA National Team last summer. He could be pitching in major league ballparks as soon as this fall. But right now, there's only one game on Max Scherzer's mind — his next one.
After missing two starts because of shoulder tendinitis, Missouri's ace and junior pitcher will toe the rubber again for Missouri on Saturday opposite senior pitcher Ricky Fairchild for Kansas.
"I wasn't looking at Kansas and saying, 'I've got to be back,'" Scherzer said. "I wanted to get back as soon as I could throw."
In 2005 Scherzer set a new school record for strikeouts in a season with 131. His strikeout numbers led the Big 12 Conference, along with his 1.86 ERA.
He was named 2005 Big 12 Pitcher of the Year.
Scherzer's regular season was highlighted by a combined no-hitter on April 1, against Texas Tech. Scherzer pitched the first seven innings of the no-hitter, striking out 14 Red Raider batters.
Kansas experienced Scherzer up-close and personal on May 13 last season. The Jayhawks were fighting for position in the Big 12 and a NCAA Regional bid, but Scherzer had other plans. No Jayhawk batter crossed the plate, while 10 went down on strikes in Scherzer's seven innings on the mound. Scherzer picked up his eighth victory of the season that day.
Sophomore third baseman Erik Morrison is the only returning Jayhawk who struck out multiple times against Scherzer last year. He went 0-3 in the
game and both of his strikeouts came against Scherzer.
"He's probably the most live fastball I've ever seen," Morrison said. "He knows that he can attack guys with his fastball when he's throwing it at 96 MPH into the seventh inning. He's got guys just looking stupid in the box."
After the season, Scherzer received an honor that he said he was most proud of when he was named to the USA National Team. Scherzer traveled around the world for more than a month during the summer donning the red, white and blue.
"Getting to put on a USA jersey and lace up the cleats and looking down and seeing 'USA' on your shirt, that was a pretty cool thing to do," Scherzer said. "That experience in itself was the best thing that's happened."

Cheap hot dogs, karaoke part of marketing plan for record draw
BY ERIC JORGENSEN
ejorgensen@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
With basketball on the back burner, the Kansas Athletics Department and sports fans will turn their attention to spring baseball.
Wednesday's game against instate foe Wichita State produced 2,324 fans crowding the bleachers for Jayhawks' 8-2 victory. It was the largest attendance ever for a home KU baseball game, according to Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director. Almost 1,000 of those fans were KU students.
One of the reasons for excitement from the fans could be the increasing success of the team. Last year's team, which finished 36-28, had the best record since the 1994 team that made it to the College World Series. This year's squad, at 18-10, along with careful marketing from the Athletics Department, has led to a resurgence in baseball interest.
Students get in free with a KUID, but Assistant Director of Athletics for Marketing Andrew Steinberg said the department would offer new promotions.
For example, the home game Saturday against Missouri will feature the first ever karoke contest. Other promotions will feature the 25 cent-hot dog night.
Steinberg said he considered the
Wichita State game a huge success.
"It was a Wednesday night, the weather was beautiful and we had an in-state rival," Steinberg said. "We were tremendously thrilled with the support from the students last night."
Steinberg said he credited most of that excitement and fan attendance to Kansas coach Ritch Price and his work getting the team to such a hot start.
One goal of the department was to have the largest attendance ever for one game and for the season. They met one of those goals last night and will look to accomplish the other by season's end.
"Judging by last night, I think it's going to be a great season fan wise," Marchiony said.
As both Steinberg and Marchiony pointed out, one major factor to attendance is weather. In a sport where all the games are outside, any cold weather or rain in the air could lead to decreased fan support.
Regardless of weather, this year's team has seen an increase in student and general attendance. Through success from the team, and 25 centhot dog nights, the Jayhawks could have plenty of backing as they head into conference play.

Weekend important in hunt for conference championship

This weekend could determine if the Kansas tennis team still has a chance to win the Big 12 Championship, when the team plays conference opponents Oklahoma and Iowa State.
Kansas will face Oklahoma on Saturday and Iowa State Sunday at the Robinson Courts.
Both matches are set for 11 a.m.
Ivanovna Lukova
The Jayhawks come into the two matches winless in the Big 12 Conference at 0-3. They are 9-6 overall
Currently, there are eight teams with three conference
victories or fewer in the Big 12, so this weekend will have the potential to put Kansas in the middle of the conference standings.
All eight remaining matches for Kansas will be against conference opponents. Senior Christine Skoda said there was no real difference in preparation between non-conference and conference matches.
"You prepare all year. Preparation starts in the fall, so I don't think there is any specific preparation, just keep working hard and training." Skoda said.
Oklahoma and Iowa State also come in with unimpressive conference records. Oklahoma will come into the match with a record of 7-9 (1-3 Big 12). The lone conference victory for Oklahoma came against Missouri (6-6, 0-5 Big 12).
Last season, Kansas defeated Oklahoma, 4-3, in Norman, Okla.
"It's going to be a tough battle with them as it always is," Kansas coach Amy Hall-Holt. "We just have to be ready to come out and play."
Iowa State comes into Sunday's match winless in the Big 12 at 0-5. The Cyclones have only three total victories on the season. Last season, Kansas swept Iowa State, 7-0.
"We are looking forward to trying to get ourselves some wins in the Big 12," Hall-Holt said. "With Oklahoma and Iowa State, it would be huge wins for us this weekend."
If there is bad weather, the matches this weekend will be moved to First Serve.

The match against Yale will be the second of the spring season for Kansas, which will play a total of six games this spring. In its first match a month ago, Kansas tied Minnesota 1-1.

After shelling UMKC 27-0 in a two-game sweep Tuesday, the softball team had its momentum stopped after rain canceled two games at Arrocha Ballpark Thursday afternoon against Creighton.
Coach Tracy Bunge said she was disappointed that her squad was not able to maintain its solid play with the non-conference doubleheader.
Thunder storms swept through Lawrence Thursday. The games have been rescheduled for 2 p.m., April 20, at Arrocha Ballpark.
Kansas will play host to Oklahoma State in a Big 12 series at 2 p.m. Saturday and
"On the bright side," Bunge said, "it is another day for us to rest and recover."
Thunderstorms swept through Lawrence Thursday. The games have been rescheduled for 2 p.m., April 20, at Arrocha Ballpark.
Senior second baseman Jessica Moppin said she was looking forward to stepping out on the field against a regional opponent in Creighton.
Junior pitcher Kassie Humphreys said she was confident with her teammates' performance lately.
"You always want to play," Moppin said. "An extra day off for a conference series for the weekend is always good for us. With school and academies being our first priority, our schedules are really busy and tiring."
Humphreys went 2-for-4 with four RBI and pitched two
Bunge said the team's record hasn't indicated how well it has played in the past few weeks. Over the last two weeks, the Jayhawks are 4-4 with the two conference losses.
at 1 p.m. Sunday at Arrocha Ballpark. The Jayhawks have won 17 and lost 16 games this season, but have lost two in the Big 12.
"We feel the best we have in a while offensively and defensively." Humphreys said. "We have all parts of our team clicking. We had a solid practice on our rainout and I feel we are confident and ready to play."
With a victory over the weekend, Bunge would get her 300th victory at the helm of the Kansas softball program.
the numbers interfere with the team's focus.
She said she wouldn't let
"It's nice to keep racking up the wins, but it's really all about the kids and how they perform every game," Bunge said.
Saturday's promotions at Arrocha Ballpark will include the "Biggest Group" contest. Sunday will be Breast Cancer Awareness Day in collaboration with the Susan G. Omen Foundation and Lawrence Memorial Hospital.

Tonight. Out on the town
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ★★★
Much is going on around you; so much that you react and want to cocoon. Yes, you! Somewhere in between, you come up with a solution that please you. You do need to slow down some. Remember, you are not immortal! Tonight: Happiness comes through routine.
CAPIRCORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ******

Tonight: Entertain at home, if possible.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★★
Your responses and/or actions could be a bit off-the-wall, but somehow everything falls into place. Good news heads your way.
Why not celebrate and make the most out of the moment? Enjoy.

Scherzer NCAA BASKETBALI
FRIDAY, MARCH 31, 2006
4B THE UNIT Scherzer CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
Scherzer entered this season on three preseason All-American lists, surrounded by speculation that he would be the top pick in the 2006 MLB First-Year Player Draft.
He missed his first start of the season after slamming his pitching hand in a car door, but he bounced back with three straight victories to start the season. His second victory came over then No. 1 Florida.
Scherzer's year has been rocky ever since.
Ann Heisenfelt/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
His season took another turn for the worse, though, in his fourth start. On March 10, against Purdue, Scherzer pitched well, striking out eight players in seven innings. But he allowed three runs while his offense was shut out. He took his first loss of the season and hasn't pitched since because shoulder tendinitis.

Ann Heisenbel/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Construction workers fill out the Final Four bracket on the side of the Hyatt Regency building in Indianapolis, Thursday. Indianapolis will play host to the men's Final Four this weekend.
Scherzer said he was healthy now and ready to begin facing Big 12 opponents.
Although his status was uncertain earlier in the week, Kansas coach Ritch Price fully expected to see him pitch in the series and pitch effectively.
And Scherzer's presence alone has Fairchild looking forward to this weekend's matchup more than most.
"I'd be shocked if he wasn't out there," Price said. "He's as good as advertised."
"I'm ready for the challenge." Fairchild said. "I always like it when big name guys are throwing for the other team because that gives me more incentive to go out there and pitch my game."
As for his future, Scherzer will likely be a high draft pick in this spring's MLB draft. For now he is trying to remain focused on what he needs to do as a college pitcher.
"That's really been the challenge this year for me is making sure all the things off the field, stay off the field," Scherzer said.

LSU success not just about team
BY PAUL NEWBERRY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
INDIANAPOLIS — Glen Davis stood next to the dying man, holding up an IV bag while doctors worked furiously to save his life.
"One of his lungs had collapsed," Davis said, his voice barely above a whisper as he recounted that awful day. "He couldn't breathe. You could see him struggling for air."
In the days following Hurricane Katrina, Davis and the rest of his LSU teammates came face-to-face with unimaginable pain and incomprehensible suffering. They saw children crying out for parents who were swept away by the floodwaters. They saw parents desperately searching for sons and daughters who would never be found. They saw battered bodies and hopeless souls. They saw people die
"It makes you appreciate life at a younger age," said Davis, the Tigers' sophomore star. "You think about the choices you make in life. You want to make sure you go out the right way."
No team at the Final Four comes in with a greater sense of purpose than LSU, which can do more than just win a national championship. The Tigers can give the people back home a reason to celebrate, a reason to believe that everything will be all right, a reason to get on with their lives.
Already, their impact has been profound.
"We've helped the state a lot," said freshman guard Garrett Temple, a second-generation LSU player. "When people watch our games, they forget they're living in a trailer instead of their house in New Orleans. It feels great to know we're making people happy."
If the Tigers are carrying more of a burden than UCLA, Florida or George Mason, they also have reason to be the loosest team in Indianapolis. When you've seen as much agony as these guys have seen,
there's no reason to get all worked up about a basketball game.
"It kind of woke us up," freshman sensation Tyrus Thomas said. "It could have been any of us."
After the hurricane slammed into New Orleans, crumpled the levees and turned the Big Easy into a lake, most of the victims fled inland to Baton Rouge. The Pete Maravich Assembly Center resembled a MASH unit, the wounded scattered all over the Tigers' home court.
That's where Davis got a chance to pitch in.
A man who was hospitalized in New Orleans after a serious car accident had been moved to higher ground, but his condition worsened on the trip to Baton Rouge. While doctors performed impromptu surgery, Davis was drafted to hold the IV bag.
"They made this huge hole in his lung," he recalled. "That was crazy. I had never experienced anything like that before. You want to collapse, but you can't collapse because you're holding the IV up. They're depending on you. That was real, real tough."
There was no getting away from the misery. Temple's mother took in at least a half-dozen of the homeless, both family members and people she barely knew. Two of them are still living with her, trying to put their lives back together.
It was all in vain. Davis watched the man take his final breath.
"We would watch the news and see how much water there was," Temple said. "I can't imagine how they must have felt to see their houses going underwater like that."
Anderson must meet demands
BY ALAN SCHER ZAGIER ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER
COLUMBIA, Mo. — New Missouri basketball coach Mike Anderson will earn a minimum of $850,000 annually over the next five years — as long as he "agrees to be a loyal employee" and doesn't bad-mouth the school.
Those clauses are just some of the conduct requirements spelled out in the 22-page employment contract, which was signed Monday and released to The Associated Press on Tuesday through the state's public records laws.
Anderson, who comes to Missouri after four years as Alabama-Birmingham coach, will also be expected to:
—"maintain a mature and rational attitude, keep emotions in control and downplay defeats";
—"establish and maintain a frequent and systematic program of personal communication with the university's administration, faculty, staff and student body":
— "keep public statements complimentary to the athletic program and the university";
make a minimum of 30 public appearances annually at booster lunches, alumni dinners and similar community events.
No such behavioral requirements, nor a stipulated minimum number of public appearances, are found in the contracts of either Missouri football coach Gary Pinkel or Anderson's predecessor, Quin Snyder, who resigned in mid-February with six regular season games remaining.
Anderson's base salary is less than the $1.015 million a year Snyder earned before he left during his seventh season at Missouri.

KU First Pitch
AT A GLANCE:
The Kansas baseball team may be a rare breed, turning a sub par 3-4 record in the past two weeks into its favor. The Jayhawks won their last two match-ups with solid pitching and 27 combined hits. Wednesday night's victory against in-state rival No. 13 Wichita State in front of a record crowd at Hoglund Ballpark produced momentum for KU for the weekend.
PLAYER TO WATCH:
Brock Simpson. With senior
The Jayhawks beat the Wichita State Shockers, 8-2, Wednesday night. The generally edge-of-your-seat showdown was nothing of the sort in the first meeting with Wichita State. Kansas out hit Wichita State, 15-8.
LAST TIME OUT:
outfielder Matt Batt and sophomore second baseman Ryne Price healthy and soon to return to the lineup, the sophomore outfielder may have to find a new spot in the lineup. But the
NATIONAL LEAGUE
Simpson
question will be where. Simpson has been spectacular in the leadoff spot. He's gone 5-of-10 since Kansas coach Ritch Price moved him to the top of the lineup two games ago.
5 QUICK FACTS:
0 — The number of losses Kansas has at home this season.
3 — The number of earned runs senior closer Don Czyz has allowed in 17 appearances this season.
13 - The number of Kansas comeback victories this season. Only five victories have resulted from Kansas being ahead
8-0 Kansas' record when holding opponents to two runs or fewer.
43 - The number of stolen bases allowed by freshman catcher Buck Afenir and junior catcher Dylan Parzyk this season.
LOOKING FORWARD:
If Kansas can take the next two home series in the coming weeks, the team will be at an even 6-6 in the Big 12 and right back in the Conference pack. Should the Jayhawks hang on to two straight sweeps against Missouri and Texas Tech, they'd be sitting at 8-4 in the conference.
KEY TO VICTORY:
shopping the players when they steal bases. Kansas has done a fairly poor job of attacking aggressive runners this season. All three of the Jayhawks starting pitchers have thrown quality outings, but they are known to give multiple base hits. Those hits will be much less harmful if the Jayhawk catchers can keep runners out of scoring position.

Offense: KU KU KU
KU
Kansas continues to keep opponents guessing as to what offense it will bring game to game. While the Jayhawks got only three hits in game two of their series against the Cornhuskers, they turned around and produced 12 hits in the series finale to capture the 7-6 victory. Kansas swung the bat even better against No. 13 Wichita State on Wednesday night for 15 hits and eight runs. As a team, the Jayhawks are posting a batting average of .296, but seven of Wednesday night's starters are hitting over .300.

Offense:
Despite posting 35 errors on the season, Kansas is still experimenting and filling holes left open by senior outfielder Matt Baty and sophomore second baseman Ryne Price. The two players were cleared to play earlier this week, but coach Ritch Price said he would ease the pair back into the lineup. Although both are hopeful, Price and Baty may not see time beyond a designated hitter role this weekend. On the mound, the Jayhawk starting three, junior lefty Sean Land (4-4) and senior right-handers, Ricky Fairchild (4-2) and Kodiak Quick (4-2) will hope to have senior closer Don Czyz (3-0) finish games this weekend. Czyz is throwing a stellar 0.91 ERA and has been a reliable closer all season.

More than 70 percent of the Jayhawks victories have been comebacks. That late-inning focus is a direct correlation to the effectiveness of Price, who has said having the ability to win games late will be a key step to competing in the Big 12 Conference. Plus, Price and his staff have dealt with injuries in stride. Baty and Price are vital pieces in the Kansas lineup. Yet Price composed a lineup that has beaten national powers like Clemson, Baylor and Nebraska. His strategy to survive, as he calls it, is working.

The Missouri offense won't overpower Kansas pitching, but it is efficient in manufacturing runs.The Tigers are averaging
more than seven runs a game for the season and five runs a game in Big 12 play. Outfielders Evan Frey, sophomore, and Zane Taylor,
senior, are batting over. 400, but sophomore Jacob Priday is Missouri's leader on offense. Priday is hitting .306 and leads the team with three home runs, six doubles and 26 RBI. He has started all 24 of Missouri's games this season. Missouri's only weakness on offense is its lack of power.The Tigers have only 10 home runs as a team and a .396 team slugging percentage.
Defense:
The Tigers are averaging 1.67 errors per game for the season, but only one per game in conference play. Frey has been flawless defensively. In 25 chances he has 23 put out and two assists from the outfield and a 1.00

fielding percentage.The Tigers only concern on defense may be keeping their heads in the game when juniors Max Scherzer and Nathan Culp are on the mound. The two have struck out 63 batters in 70.2 innings, giving the defense behind them little action.
Coaches:
In his 12th season at Missouri, coach Tim Jamieson's team is 15-9 overall and 5-1 in the Big 12. After last weekend his Tigers were in first place in the Big 12 and nationally ranked again. Missouri is a team that depends on consistent

home and 7-1 in true road games. Jamieson also deserves credit for the caution he's taken with
pitching ace Max Scherzer. Rather than rush him back into the rotation, he's allowed Scherzer to fully recover from shoulder tendinitis.
MU First Pitch AT A GLANCE:
Missouri took the series against Kansas last year in Columbia, Mo., two games to one. It would love nothing more than to do the same this year in front of 2,500 Kansas fans. If it does, Missouri would be able to claim dominance against Kansas schools for the second straight year. Missouri defeated Kansas State two games to one last weekend.
Southeast Missouri State handed Missouri its first road loss of the season on Wednesday night. The 3-2 game was decided by a Redhawks walk-off home run in the ninth inning. Senior first baseman Derek Chambers was the most productive MU player on offense. He went 2-for-4 and scored a run.

ries, innings pitched (45.2) and strikeouts (32).
5 QUICK FACTS:
[ ]
5-1 — Missouri's record in the Big 12 Conference, compared to a 10-8 non-conference record.
1 — The number of losses Missouri has in true road games.
29 — Missouri's rank in the Collegiate Baseball Poll. The Tigers began the season at No. 14 in the poll and were as high as No. 10 in the Baseball America Poll.
2. 81 — Missouri's team ERA, which is fourth best in the Big J. Juniors Max Scherzer and Nathan Culp are helping keep that number low with a 2.88 ERA and a 2.36 ERA.
.402 - Senior outfielder Zane Taylor's batting average this season, tying him with Oklahoma State's Tyler Mach for fourth best in the Big 12.
LOOKING FORWARD:
A series victory would likely allow Missouri to retain its lead over Texas in the Big 12 standings, remain ranked by Collegiate Baseball, and possibly re-enter other national polls. Should the Tigers lose the series, they may soon find the Jayhawks on their heels in the Big 12.
KEY TO VICTORY:
Missouri pitchers will have to shut down a revitalized Kansas offense. Missouri's offense must find a way to put runs on the board. In Scherzer and Culp's three combined losses, Missouri's offense has produced a total of only six runs.

Nebraska (18-4, 2-1) at Kansas State (19-3, 1-2)
BU
Nebraska junior starting pitcher JoBa Chamberlain was triumphant in his return to the rotation last weekend, winning the first game of the Kansas series. He'll face a Kansas State team that, after starting the season 17-1, is 2-2 in its last four games. This series is Kansas State's opportunity to prove it is a legitimate contender in the Big 12. Senior outfielder Joe Roady leads Kansas State and the Big 12 with a .482 batting average.
T
Baylor (18-8, 3-3) at Texas Tech (20-9, 2-3)
Baylor and Texas Tech are sitting at No. 5 and No. 6 in the Big 12, respectively. Opponents are batting .273 against Baylor pitching, but Texas Tech has a .325 team batting average. Baylor will likely be toward the top of the Big 12 at season's end, but a series victory here for Texas Tech would help secure it a spot in the heart of the Big 12 Conference.
OU
QU
Texas (19-10, 4-1) at Oklahoma (20-7, 2-1)
This bitter rivalry will hit the diamond for a three-game set. Oklahoma is actually out-hitting Texas as a team, .321 to .292, but pitching could be its downfall. Texas has a 3.71 team ERA compared to Oklahoma's 4.71. Both teams have been finding ways to win all season, though, and could remain neck-and-neck all the way through May. If they do, the winner of this series may be the one that comes out on top at the end of the regular season.
