Former football player
The most common drugs that schools test for are marijuana (98 percent), cocaine (97 percent) and amphenatamine (95 percent).
> An average of 242 samples are sent to the NCAA for annual testing at an average cost of $8,118.
figures
Athletes who test positive during an Athletics Department-given drug test aren't suspended until after their second offense. First offenses often result in extra running and mandatory counseling.
"It's rehearsed," Swanson said. "They tell you you're going to have to do three or four sessions with some kind of counselor or psychiatrist. They just sit there and talk to you about drugs. It's real elementary."
KANSAS' POLICY
Jason Swanson stands self-consciously in a bathroom. He's not alone.An employee of Drug Free Sport, who he just met, watches Swanson as he washes his hands, drops his pants and urinates into a cup.
Less than a week later, Swanson, home in California for Christmas, gets a phone call from team physician Larry Magee. Swanson fears what comes next. About a week before his random drug test, he smoked marijuana with friends. Magee informs Swanson, then a junior quarterback for the 2004 Kansas football team, that he failed the Athletics Department's drug test. He was relieved when Magee recited the department's more lenient sanctions imposed on first-time drug offenders.
Swanson said he was retested every 40 days and had to do extra running time in the morning.
Had he failed a drug test administered by the NCAA, Swanson would have been suspended from the team for his entire senior year. College drug testing is a puzzling system of policies, procedures and penalties wherein the discipline dished out to an athlete depends on who busted the offender. The NCAA, conferences and individual schools all test for banned drugs, but each is free to impose widely varying penalties for identical offenses. For example, the NCAA
"I didn't miss any playing time, practice time, nothing," he said.
suspends an athlete for one year for marijuana use; Kansas requires counseling, more drug screening and extra running. The Big 12 Conference doesn't test for marijuana but instead focuses on performance enhancing drugs.
Testing is also more haphazard than random. Some Kansas athletes said they were here four years without ever being tested, even though KU policy requires all incoming athletes to be tested when they arrive.
"It doesn't matter what the punishments are, people are going to do what they do" Swanson said. "The punishment usually is just running, which we do all the time anyway."
While the NCAA and contenences come down hard on drug use, individual schools try to deter drug use with policies that the athletes don't always take seriously.
WHY THEY TEST
Kay Hawes, director of media relations with Drug Free Sport, said most colleges tested their athletes to put a stop to drug use before the NCAA found out Hawes didn't mention the NCAAs stifter penalties.

Local Burger earns national attention
Sundance series focuses on environment
BY DANAE DESHAZER
The network's upcoming series, "Big Ideas for a Small Planet," focuses on people that are concerned with health and the environment.
Local Burger, a downtown Lawrence restaurant, will be featured in a new Sundance Channel series for its commitment to providing organic meals that are healthy and fast. The Sundance Channel finished filming Thursday on location and will air the episode in February.
CAFE COOKING
"Local Burger fits into this focus because we serve local foods. When you do that, you decrease fuel usage and support the local economy. People don't realize that they feel bad after eating other foods because of the additives or loss of nutritional value. Our food is clean, no hor-

Man injured in K-State bus wreck moves to rehabilitation wing
BY ERICK R. SCHMIDT
Victim's condition improves to fair
A man injured in a fan-bus accident Nov. 18 has been upgraded from serious to fair condition and is now in the rehabilitation wing of the University of Kansas Hospital in Kansas City, Kan.
Christian Ori Orr of Hays was injured on the Cat Tracker bus before last season's Kansas vs. Kansas State football game. The bus ran into the leaving Hill Road overpass that connects the Daisy Hill residence halls to West Campus, John Green of
Shawnee was killed in the accident. Orr was transported to the hospital in critical condition.
The Douglas County District Attorney's office is considering whether charges will be filed in the accident against the driver of the bus. The driver, Brent Simonsson of Salina, had a restricted driver's license at the time of the accident. Simonsson's license had been restricted because of prior DUI convictions, and he was not licensed to drive a commercial vehicle.
Cheryl Wright, assistant to the district attorney, said no timeline had been set for whether charges would be filed. In early December, Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson requested more

Ice storm causes clean-up
BY JOSEPH HUNT
Facilities operations workers at The University of Kansas were left scrambling to clear off ice this weekend because of the cold temperatures. Workers began clearing snow and ice Saturday as it continued to fall. Larry Rawlings, assistant director of faci-
operations construction, said clearing the ice was a tough job.
"A good share of facilities operations has been involved," Rawlings said. "We use different equipment, depending on whether the ice has been treated first."

Legal dispute halts Kansan off-campus distribution
BY ASHLEE KIELER
Proposed off-campus distribution of The University Daily Kansan has been postponed until distribution issues between the newspaper and the Lawrence Journal-World can be resolved.
The proposed expansion of the paper would include a number of locations on Massachusetts Street.
a few businesses on 23rd Street. area grocery stores and a handful of apartment complexes.
Malcolm Gibson, general manager of The Kansan, said the availability of The Kansan only on campus worked for a time, however he said the nature of the student had changed.
"We're trying to reach out to the students," Gibson said.
Students continue to limit their
visits to campus, while places such as Massachusetts Street attract students for shopping, eating and entertainment. A drop in readership prompted the plans for distribution off campus, Gibson said.
Gibson estimated that each off campus distribution site would have two to five papers.
The restriction of university newspapers brings about freedom of
speech issues, said Adam Goldstein, attorney advocate for the Student Press Law Center.
"Legally there is no reason for the restriction of a campus newspaper, as long as it is run by the students," Goldstein said.
Goldstein said he saw no situation in which a speech restriction could be implemented based on unfair competition because The Kansan
was a learning tool for students.
A similar situation occurred in the late 1990s between the Iowa State Daily and the Ames Tribune. The Tribune sued the Daily because of the Daily's off campus distribution
"The issues were settled out of court, with restrictions for off campus distribution, but not a complete ban," said Mark Witherspoon, Editorial Advisor of the Daily.
The Kansan Board, including professors, the Kansan staff and representatives of the School of Journalism, will discuss circulation issues at a meeting Wednesday.

mones or pesticides," said Hilary Brown, owner of Local Burger, 714 Vermont St.
Local Burger buys naturally raised meat and vegetables from local farms, most of which are located in a 20 mile radius of Lawrence. Homepun Hill Farm in Baldwin City sells grass-finished beef and lamb to Local Burger. Grass-finished cattle take 24 to 26 months to become fully grown and are raised solely on grass, which is high in vitamin E and Omega 3 fatty acids. This is double the time it takes for commercially raised cattle. Typically, cattle from commercial providers are fed soy and corn, which are high in fat and additives.
"It's a niche market, but it's a growing market. It may not ever become mainstream, but many people with health concerns come to change their diet. They want something lower in fat and lower in cholesterol," said Debbie Yarnell, owner of Homespun Hill Farm.
Thursday Local Burger started filming another project, "Localize Me." It is a spin-off of the Morgan Spurlock documentary, "Super Size Me." The documentary will follow the journey of unhealthy and overweight 29-year-old Lawrence resident Daniel Fisher. He will eat all of his meals at Local Burger for 30 days to see if his health changes.
"I go out to eat everyday out of convenience. I hardly ever make my own food. Now I am 300 pounds, and I want to see that come down," Fisher said. "At the end of the day, I'm tired. I want to have more energy."
Two Lawrence doctors, David Dunlap of First Med Physicians Assistant and Farhang Khosh of Natural Medical Care, examined Fisher before he started the project and will monitor his health throughout the project.
"We hope to see big changes. It's a lower fat diet, so his cholesterol
should go down. It's a lower calorie diet, so his weight should go down. It's a lower salt diet, so his blood pressure should go down." Dunlap said. "He will also have better energy in general and more fuel to get him going through the day."
Brown opened Local Burger in Sept. 2005 after living a life of multiple food intolerances and allergies. She was surprised at the impact a change in diet could have on a person's health.
"I wanted to do something that was accessible for everyone, not just a fancy restaurant, but a restaurant for the whole marketplace, from a construction worker to a vegetarian," Brown said.

Andy Stanton of Hays is a close friend of Orr and said he hadn't spoken to Orr's family recently and didn't know specifics about his reha-

Stanton set up a benefit fund for Orr's family through the Lawrence branch of Sunflower Bank, 4831 Quail Crest Place, in November 2006. Stanton said more than $3,000 had been donated when he last checked the fund before Christmas.
"It's amazing, the contribution we've seen". Stanton said.

Before attempting to break the ice, crews spread magnesium chloride over it in an attempt to melt it.
Clearing the ice is important to students and it may affect whether students come to class.
"I wouldn't come to school in the morning if they didn't clear the ice." Leawood freshman, Max Hanger said. "I don't wanna fall, it's just another reason to stay in bed."
Some students had to change travel plans at the end of winter break. Kari Trendle, St. Louis sophomore, drove home last Saturday instead of Monday to avoid delays.
Parking lots on campus were also treated to help clear the ice. Facilities operations and the parking department hoped that this, combined with the sun, would melt most of the ice in the parking lots.

"I didn't want to have to worry about the roads being even worse than they were," Trendle said. "It was scary because my windshield wiper jets had frozen over."

DRAMA COMPETITION
Playwrights to compete in Iowa
BY BETHANY BUNCH
Three playwrights from the University of Kansas have four plays
competing for awards at a festival next week in Ames, Iowa.
Emily Laut,
2005 graduate,
Tim Macy,
Topeka graduate
student, and
Whitney Reece
Rowland, Olathe
Laut
junior, are the three playwrights representing the University at the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival.
Their productions will be considered for an all expenses paid trip to the national festival at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., this spring.
"Having a staged reading at KCACTF will be exciting. I anticipate a great mixing and expanding
of ideas that will make me want to write more." Laut said.
Paul Lim, professor of English, founded the English Alternative Theatre in 1989 to produce student plays. Since then, 20 KU playwrights, whose plays were presented by the theater, have won awards at various levels of competitions sponsored by the festival.
Laut wrote her play, "Painting the Town," for Lim's Playwriting I class. Lim gives all of his students the chance to submit their plays to the festival.
"He bends over backwards to help students with the submission process because he is very excited to show student-written drama." Laud said.
Rowland
Lau's play and Rowland's "Suicide by Punchbowl" are two of six 10-
minute plays chosen to be presented as staged readings at the festival.
---
Macy's "Leaves of Words" is based on real events surrounding the disappearance of Randy Leach who was
last seen at a pre-
graduation party
April 15, 1988,
in Linwood.
The play was presented
this past October
by the English
Alternative
Theatre. Lim
said Macys's play
Macy
generated a lot of publicity going into the festival.
Macy researched the event for a year and spent six to eight months writing the play. Lim said the play was revised four or five times and that Macy continued to edit while the play was in rehearsal.
"Leaves of Words" is competing for the Michael Kanin National Student Playwright Award and the
David Mark Cohen Playwriting Award.
"Lights Fade, Curtain," a one-act play, also by Rowland, is about a playwright returning home to visit his dying mother, while his family is concerned that he has come back to use them as characters in his next play.
Macy's "Leaves of Words" will have a benefit performance at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the Lawrence Arts Center, 9th and New Hampshire streets, before leaving Sunday for Ames.
"We're hoping people who didn't get to see the play in October will be able to before we leave for the festival in Iowa," Lim said.

The University of Kansas Athletics Department plans to celebrate National Girls and Women in Sports Day on Saturday. The Athletics Department will hold a field day at 5:30 p.m. at the Horeisi Family Athletics Center before the women's basketball game against Iowa State, a luncheon for former KU student athletes before the game and a halftime ceremony for the former student athletes are planned.
Fits you.
The Athletics Department also held an essay contest for local sixth-grade students. The students were required to write about a 'hero', which was a woman who inspired them to be active in sports and positively impacted their lives. A Schwegler Elementary student won the contest and two students from Hillcrest Elementary tied for second. These students and their classmates were invited to participate in the field day. Anderson said about 75 elementary students will participate in the field day. It is used as an opportunity for students to do something they might not normally do.
Anderson said. The 10 scholarship sports are basketball, cross country, golf, rowing, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, tennis, track and field and volleyball. Elementary students participating in the event will be doing activities related to this sports.
Kathy Rose-Mockry, program director for the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, helped publicize the event. She said she hoped this year's events would encourage young women to attend more games and cheer on current women.
Field day, ceremony to recognize athletes
National Girls and Women in Sports day began in 1987, but this was only the second year the University had recognized it. According to the official National Girls and Women in Sports Web site, it was started in remembrance of Flo Hyman, a volleyball player who died because of a heart problem in 1986. Hyman was a three-time All-American at the University of Houston and captain of the 1984 US Olympics team.
About 50 current student athletes representing all 10 women's scholarship sports will lead the field day,
The day is celebrated nationally on Feb. 7, but the Athletics Department chose Saturday for the event because it was the closest weekend home game to the seventh. This would also allow for more elementary students to attend.

DRUG TESTING (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Kansas'policy
The NCAA require individual institutions to test their athletes, but most Division I institutions have a testing program in place.
Percentage of Division I athletes who reported using drugs
Drug 1993 1997 2001 2005
Amphetamines 2.1 2.5 3.2 4.0
Anabolic steroids 1.9 1.2 1.6 1.2
Ephedrine N/A 3.0 2.4 2.4
Nutritional Supplements N/A N/A 46.0 33.4
Alcohol 86.3 79.2 80.5 74.7
Cocaine/crack 0.6 1.2 1.8 2.0
Marijuana/hashish 17.6 26.4 26.3 17.3
Even though the NCAA, Big 12 and Kansas employ the same Kansas City, Mo., firm, Drug Free Sport, to administer drug tests, the penalties for the same offense uncovered by the same company for violating the same NCAA rules depends on who paid for the test. NCAA rules don't require member institutions to report failed drug tests, and schools set their own penalties. Penalties for athletes who fail Kansas' drug tests vary depending on whether they are a first-time or repeat offender.
N/A indicates questions were not asked about that drug in a given year.
Source: NCAA 2005 Survey of Member Institutions
For first-time offenders like Swanson, the athlete's coach, sport supervisor, team physician, director of sports medicine and staff athletic trainer are notified, as well as the athlete's parents and/or spouse. The athlete also enters a mandatory counseling and rehabilitation program and is tested once every 40 days for the next year.
Catherine Odson/KANSAN
Hassan Johnson, a former Kansas football player, said he was never tested. Johnson was in his fourth year when he left the team before the 2006 season.
Second-time offenders face the same penalties and are suspended from 10 percent of scheduled games or two games, whichever is less.
Third-time offenders are permanently suspended and lose their athletic scholarships and financial aid.
Almost everyone's testing
According to a 2005 NCAA survey, 91 percent of Division I-A schools have their own drug-testing program. The Kansas athletics department began drug testing 10 years ago and has introduced changes since then.
Magee said the department was changing its program so athletes were tested at least twice by their junior year. The first test would be given soon after they arrive on campus. Although these procedures are already written into the policy, some athletes slip through the cracks.
Matt Baty, a Kansas baseball player who finished his eligibility last season, said he was tested only once during his four years at Kansas. His test occurred soon after he arrived on campus his freshman year.
Magee said he was not surprised some athletes had gone through their careers without ever being tested, but said that should not continue to happen with the changes.
Why they test
Kay Hawes, director of media relations with Drug Free Sport, said most colleges tested their own athletes to put a stop to drug use before the NCAA found out.
"One reason to do it is to avoid the public embarrassment of having somebody test positive in an NCAA test," said Hawes, who didn't mention the NCAA's stiffer penalties that could sideline KU players.
Kansas athletes are subject to random tests at any time during the aca
demic year by the NCAA, the Big 12 or the department. Drug Free Sport administers the test for all three entities and charges $150 per test, $175 if street drugs are included. The NCAA now tests athletes during the summer months, which started last summer with football and baseball players. Frank Uryasz, president of Drug Free Sport, said more sports would be tested this coming summer.
Magee said the NCAA and Big 12 usually tested athletes chosen at random on campus two or three times per year and during Big 12 championships and NCAA postseason play. The NCAA only tests for street drugs during championship competition but always tests for performance-enhancing drugs. During NCAA random drug testing, a school's football team is always tested and then another sport is chosen based on the likelihood of anabolic steroid use in that sport.
Who gets tested
Magee said the University tested about 60 new athletes in the first few months of the school year and about 15 to 20 athletes each month after that. Drug Free Sport chooses which athletes are tested using a number generator that randomly selects athletes from a squad list.
For Kansas' drug test, athletes are informed the day before. With the
NCAA, athletes are called early the same day. If an athlete does not show for an NCAA screening, it counts as a failed drug test.
During the drug test, an athlete is taken to a bathroom
who told him they were able to cheat the system.
Uryasz said athletes have tried to cheat by bringing in someone else's urine, manipulating the sample by adding compounds to the urine to make it difficult to test or by overhydrating and diluting the test.
by a Drug Free Sport proctor and must follow precise instructions with the proctor watching.
"Those attempts are not successful if the validator is doing his job," Urvasz said.
When athletes over-hydrate and water down results, they have to stay until they are able to provide a concentrated sample. Urysz said.
Magee said the department had never caught a KU athlete foiling a drug test.
"If you've ever tried going to the bathroom when somebody is watching, it's kind of hard to do."
"They understand it's going to be a situation where they really can't cheat," he said.
The urine sample is screened for all of the classes of drugs banned by the NCAA during a KU drug test or an NCAA championship drug test, including stimulants such as methamphetamine, cocaine, anabolic steroids, diuretics, growth hormones and street drugs, such as marijuana. During a Big 12 or random NCAA test, they test only for performance-enhancing drugs such as steroids. Drug Free Sport also screens for urine manipulators and masking agents used to skew drug testing during all tests.
"If you've ever tried going to the bathroom when somebody is watching, it's kind of hard to do," Baty, the baseball player, said.
Despite the presence of a proctor,
Swanson said he's had teammates.

lators and two for steroids
In a survey of student athletes by the NCAA in 2005, only 1.2 percent of the 8,543 Division 1 athletes sampled admitted to using steroids. In comparison, 17.3 percent said they had used marijuana.
Swanson, Baty, Johnson and former baseball player lared Schweitzer said that they had not witnessed steroid use by KU athletes.
"Not here," Swanson said. "The guys are too little to be on steroids."
However, both Baty and Schweitzer said they had teammates from other schools on summer teams who used steroids during the summer months when they weren't being tested. Schweitzer said he was never tempted to join in.
"I just always played baseball and was good at it and I never had to take steroids to be good at it so why would I start taking steroids?" he asked. "I big of got into it. I'm not that big of a guy to begin with. I never got into taking steroids and trying to get bigger."
If a Kansas athlete arrived on steroids, he or she could still leave with a clean slate. New student athletes who test positive for any drugs face the same penalties as any first-time offenders, but that positive test doesn't count as a strike against the athlete. If that athlete tested positive again, it would count as a first offense.
Magee said coaches were not allowed to kick a player off the team after a first drug offense, although he said a player who violated other team rules and tested positive for drugs could be dismissed.
Weak penalties
Swanson tested positive during a random drug test given by Kansas. He said he was then tested 12 to 15 times during the next year. One of those tests was an NCAA test that Swanson and about 30 other teammates were randomly selected to take before the Fort Worth Bowl.
Swanson was critical of the counseling sessions he was required to attend after a positive test. Swanson said he had to fill out a drug awareness packet, which included information on heroin and meth.
"I'm like. I just smoked a blunt. That's all I did," he said. "It's like real unnecessary but it's just what they do. I understand. I did it without any quarrel. I didn't put up a fight. I just did it. It wasn't that bad."
It was, in fact, a slap on the wrist for Swanson, who would have missed his entire senior season had the NCAA given the test. Until colleges have more comprehensive programs and stiffer penalties, Swanson said athletes would continue to not take drug tests seriously.
"It'd be way different," he said

Excess oil supply leads to lower prices
STAN CHOE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Oil prices briefly fell below $50 per barrel Thursday for the first time since May 25, 2005, after the government reported larger-than-expected jumps in crude oil and gasoline inventories.
Gasoline prices decreased from $1.84 a gallon to $1.79 Thursday afternoon in Cleveland.
"There's no doubt that this is significant," said Phil Flynn of Alaron Trading Corp. "If you're a bull, the only thing you can hold your hat on is they didn't close below $50."
Oil has dropped 17 percent since the end of 2006 amid weeks of mild winter weather in the U.S. Northeast, a key consumer of heating fuels, and growing energy stockpiles.
Scott Shaw/ASSOCIATED PRESS
The price for a barrel of light, sweet crude for February delivery fell as low as $49.90 on the New York Mercantile Exchange but spent only a moment below the $50 threshold. It settled at $50.48, down $1.76 from Wednesday's settlement price.
Jim Ritterbusch, president of Ritterbusch & Associates, said prices could continue to fall toward $47 in the next two weeks, unless the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries calls for a meeting.
"The market is still seeking a bottom," he said, "and we had another bearish element tossed at it in the
U. S. crude oil stocks rose by 6.8 million barrels to 321.5 million, according to a report by the Energy Information Administration. Analysts had been expecting an increase of just 325,000 barrels, according to a Dow Jones Newswire survey. The EIA said inventories are above the upper end of the average range for this time of year.
form of these negative weekly statistics"
Gasoline inventories, meanwhile,
rose by 3.5 million barrels to 216.8 million, above analysts' expectations of a 2.6 million barrel rise. Distillate fuel inventories, which include heating oil, rose by 900,000 barrels to 141.9 million barrels, compared with analysts' expectations of a 1.3 million barrel rise.
The EIA said inventories for both gasoline and distillate fuels are at or above the upper end of the average range for this time of year.
ICE futures exchange fell $1.03 to
$5.75.
March Brent crude on London's
Heating oil lost 2.9 cents to $1.4707 a gallon while natural gas futures rose 9 cents to $6.324 per 1,000 cubic feet.
Gasoline prices fell 2.3 cents to $1.3553 a gallon.
Earlier in the day, prices were buffeted by a recent cold spell in the Northeast U.S. and forecasts of slow demand growth from the International Energy Agency.
In lowering expectations for this year as well revising last year's figures downward, the Paris-based IEA cited mild winter weather that has crimped energy demand and weaker expectations for U.S. economic growth.
In its closely watched monthly oil market report, the energy watchdog forecast global oil demand growth this year of 85.77 million barrels a day, down 160,000 barrels a day. And it said oil demand growth last year was 120,000 barrels a day lower.
Saudi oil minister Ali Naimi, who earlier this week said he opposed calls from other OPEC members for new cuts in production, announced Thursday his country planned to increase its crude oil production capacity nearly 40 percent by 2009 and double its refining size over the next five years to keep pace.
POLITICS
Congress changes ethics standards
JIM ABRAMS ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The Senate, responding to voter frustration with corruption and special interest influence in Washington, on Thursday overwhelmingly approved far-reaching ethics and lobbying reform legislation.
Under the bill, passed 96-2, senators will give up gifts and free travel from lobbyists, pay more for travel on corporate jets and make themselves more accountable for the pet projects they insert into bills.
Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., who made the bill his first initiative as head of the Senate, called it the "most significant legislation in ethics and lobbying reform we've had in the history of this country."
The Senate did resect the idea of setting up an independent office to investigate the ethical breaches of members. But it said that spouses of sitting members will no longer be able to lobby the Senate and lobbyists can no longer pay for extravagant parties for members at
national conventions.
Passage of the bill came a day after the measure appeared dead, the victim of a test of will between the two parties.
Republicans were angry they could not get a vote on a proposal giving the president, with congressional approval, more power to kill single spending items in larger bills. So GOP senators voted against a resolution needed to move the bill to final passage.
"I believe that we owe it to the voters as well as the institution to come to a fair agreement and pass this legislation."
On Thursday morning, both sides accused the other of killing the bill and betraying the trust of voters who had demanded that Congress clean up its act.
"What this maneuver shows is that the Republican leadership hasn't learned the lessons of the 2006 election," said Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y.
CRIME
The Democrat leadership does not have to kill this legislation" countered Republican leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.
Idaho man charged with murder of child
JOHN MILLER
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOISE, Idaho = A man convicted in the 2005 slavings of three members of an idaho family was charged Thursday in U.S. District Court with kidnapping the family's two youngest children and killing one of them.
News of the indictment came hours after authorities in California said they were planning to charge Duncan with the 1997 kidnapping and murder of a 10-year-old boy whose bound, nude body was buried under a rock pile in the desert.
The indictment accuses Duncan of kidnapping Dylan Groene, 9, and his sister Shasta, then 8 years old, sexually abusing both and later killing Dylan in Montana.
Shasta was rescued as she and Duncan ate at a Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, restaurant in July 2005; about seven weeks after the abduction.
The indictment against Joseph Edward Duncan III, issued by a federal grand jury in Coeur d'Alene, will allow the government to seek the death penalty, U.S. Attorney Tom Moss said.
Duncan is also considered the prime suspect in the slayings of two children near Seattle.
Among the charges against
Duncan, 43, in the idaho case are kidnapping resulting in death, sexual abuse of both children and firearms counts.
The grand jury alleged that Duncan killed Dylan in an "especially heinous, cruel, and depraved manner," according to federal prosecutors. "The grand jury also found that the child's killing involved torture and serious physical abuse."
Roger Peven, Duncan's Idaho defense attorney, told The Associated Press late Thursday that the federal case will be resolved before any additional cases are tried in state court. He said his client would plead not guilty Friday.
"This will get the process going." Peven said. "We've been anticipating it for quite some time."
On Tuesday, federal prosecutors in Idaho charged Duncan with driving a stolen vehicle across state lines. The charge was considered a placeholder to make sure he was not extradited for crimes in other states before the federal case was completed.
Duncan already pleaded guilty last October to first-degree murder and kidnapping for the 2005 slayings of Brenda Groene, her fiance and her 13-year-old son. Duncan was sentenced to life for the kidnapping counts but has not been sentenced on the murder counts.

》 OUR VIEW
Current politicians ignore opportunity
As students return from winter break, we are greeted with the dawn of a new year that brings the aura of promise and potential to our nation's capital. With the annual reset of the calendar year, our elected leaders gain a new chance to set aside partisan concerns and truly work for the betterment of Americans.
Unfortunately, early indications point to our leaders squandering yet another opportunity to work together, which is an especially disappointing development in light of the current military sacrifices. Nancy Pelosi, the much-heralded first female Speaker of the House, has already devolved into a sad caricature. Her ceremonial elevation to the post focused mostly on surrounding her with dozens of children in an attempt to burnish her母权ly credentials and dispel the stigma of the San Francisco Liberal Feminist.
If the Democrats put as much effort into a coherent war policy as they did into a publicity parade, perhaps we could have more hope for the upcoming legislative term. The Democratic leadership has already planned "symbolic votes" on the President's Iraq policy, which may be the very definition of time wasted.
President Bush has done no better with his second chance. In a sickeningly sweet Wall Street Journal column, the President detailed his bipartisan hopes and dreams for the upcoming year, and began an early effort to shift expectations across the aisle.
So who — if anyone — can students look to for hope in Washington before all attention turns to the 2008 elections? The answer may be Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, who was tapped by the President to serve as bipartisan ambassador-in-chief, Paulson, who cultivated close contacts with Democrats, private sector elites and foreign governments during his time leading investment bank Goldman Sachs, is the ideal candidate for voice of the administration. His free-market training leads him to instinctively find the best and most efficient path to success, regardless of partisan concerns.
Not surprisingly, he soon resumed his flippant posture and declared an increase in troop levels — a move transparently described as a "surge" to avoid comparisons to Vietnam-era "escalation" — essentially a continual doubling of a bet on a far more significant scale. In choosing to override the voice of the Iraq Study Group, his leading generals and the American people's stunning rebuke of his policies in November, the President signaled that he is no more willing than Speaker Pelosi to put political calculation on the back burner.
Such skills will prove invaluable as Republicans and Democrats attempt to tackle substantial policy challenges in 2007. Students should not hesitate to hold members of both political parties accountable for upcoming successes and failures.

Liberal arts lead to informed public
COMMENTARY
As college students we struggle from time to time with thoughts of the future. We know what we want to do: be happy, have enough money to be comfortable and have a great family. We just don't know how to get there.
This is difficult to explain to our parents' generation. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, less than half as many people attended a postsecondary institution a generation ago as do today. So it makes sense that admitting to a communications major draws the inevitable: "What are you going to do?"
A liberal arts education is not for everyone.

be acquired; the ability to acquire these skills, sometimes independently, is more important.
In a way, liberal arts students specialize in being generalists. A liberal educa
tion creates proficient, well rounded and independent thinkers schooled in critical thinking.
The importance of creating well-rounded and independently thinking citizens goes beyond a pay check. Aristotle wrote in "Politics" that "there is a certain kind of education that children must be given not because it is useful or necessary but because it is noble and suitable for a free person." It is both a product and prerequisite of a functional democracy to possess a liberally educated population.
Research demonstrates that college graduates are more likely to participate in their communities than non-graduates. The knowledge acquired from a liberal arts education, as well as improved civic participation, is not a product solely of one's class, but is a personal accomplishment.
Finally, liberal arts institutions promote the progression of ideas. Although not a physically useful tool, the character "V" in "V for Vendetta" was right when he said "there are not enough bullets in the world to stop an idea." The freedoms we possess today are, after all, products of ideas. No engineering teat or medical miracle can create liberty or democracy. Ideas, although not a replacement for vocations, are just as important. Thinking is powerful. And a liberal arts education teaches students to think.
So the next time someone asks you what you're going to do with your major, remind him or her to thank liberal arts majors like you for the liberties the arts have created. Or just grin and remind yourself that, according to the U.S. Department of Education, those with college degrees earn twice as much as those without.

"Muck Fizzou"T-shirts keep students off camera during coverage of KU vs. MU
On Monday the heated rivalry between the Kansas Jayhawks and Missouri Tigers was reignited inside Allen Fieldhouse. The gates opened and the students poured in, decked out in their crimson and blue, and filled the highly-sought after student sections to the brim.
Meanwhile, in the 53-foot long high-definition production truck for ESPN's first night of "Student

on getting any air time. Because the game is in high definition, Dennis must be aware of the wider frame that HD allows, and rule out even more shots.
Think about it. ESPN comes to one of the most storied arenas in all of college basketball to kick off a week dedicated to student spirit, and it can't even show most of the students in the crowd.
Reporter Holly Rowe had to ask a student wearing one of the shirts to move out of the shot before she did an in game report from the student section. The lajhayk faithful go crazy when they're on television. Why, then, would students sabotage their own efforts to be shown on TV and, perhaps more importantly, a director's attempts to capture the tremendous atmosphere that epito-

Cornish bound for bowl

KANSAS VS. TEXAS TECH, 3 P.M., SATURDAY
While Bill Self's squad plays its next game in Lubbock, Texas, on Saturday, a record-setting Jayhawk will be involved in a different game in Houston.
Jon Cornish, Kansas all time single-season leading rusher, will play in the East West Shrine Bowl. He was the first Jayhawk invited since safety Carl Nesmith went in 2000. Cornish will compete for the West roster coached by Dan Reeves. Cornish will split time with fellow Big 12 running backs Stevie Hicks of Iowa State and Selvin Young of Texas. Jackie Battle of Houston is the last running back for the West squad.
WHO WILL IT BE?
The game will be televised on ESPN2 at 6 p.m. Saturday.
More than half of the players in the Shrine Bowl, 55 of 103, were drafted last year and 312 Shrine Bowl alumni were on an NFL roster at the beginning of last season.
Right now, Cornish is expected to be a late first-day to early second-day draft pick.
Edited by Sharla Shivers
While Cornish was the home run player for the football team the past two seasons, coach Mark Mangino has signed other running backs similar to Cornish with Jake Sharp, Angus Quigley, Carmen Boyd-Anderson and Gary Green in the backfield.
While the new offensive coordinator, Ed Warinner, who last coached the offensive line at Illinois, is not a home-run hire, it will be hard to do worse than Quartaro. Yes, Warinner comes from the worst team in the Big Ten, Illinois, which was 2-10. His offensive line, however, led the No.1 rushing team in the Big Ten and the No.10 team in the nation.
Kansan columnist Drew Davison is an Overland Park senior in journalism.
Football season is still eight months away, but there is room for excitement with Cornishis promise of an NFI career and a new offensive coordinator.
Cornish, who runs the 40-yard dash in 4.55 seconds, improved his draft status with his ability to play special teams. Most NFL draft Web sites have Cornish in the No. 12 to 14 range. No KU players were drafted last year, but Cornish is likely to be picked this year.
When Warinner was previously at Kansas, he coached some of KU's better offensive lineman of late such as Joe Vaughn, Bob Whitaker and David Ochoa. He was also at Kansas when Cesar Rodriguez was a freshman.
Not to mention the offense will be free of the shackles former offensive coordinator Nick Quartaro put on them. Hopefully that means no more bubble screens or shovel passes. That is nothing against the spread offense, but Quartaro and the coaching staff invented ways to blow 16-point (Texas A&M), 17-point (Oklahoma State) and 18 point (Baylor) leads last season.
Boyd-Anderson, 6-4 foot 1, 200-pound back from Jacksonville, Texas, has the potential to become a play-maker like Cornish, who is 6-0, 205, for Mangino's team. Boyd-Anderson, who runs a 40-yard dash in 4.5 seconds, should compete for playing time next season.

Jayhawks look for players to step up in road battle with Red Raiders
BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS
The lajayhawks' grind-it-out victory against Iowa State last Saturday looked nothing like Monday's shootout against Missouri. And that's exactly the way coach Bill Selt likes it.
"The different styles will make the team better, because it makes you prepare for different ways to play" he said.
He's also seen differ-

The Red Raiders will give the Jay hawks
"His is a very, very detailed offense that is designed to take advantage of defensive break-downs." Self said. "They'll be the best offensive team we played this year in terms of execution."
Three players have emerged this year as scoring threats for the Red Raiders, Senior guard Jarrus Jackson and junior guard Martin Zacken each come into the game averaging double-digit points. They've been joined recently by senior forward Jon Plefka, who started the season slow but has scored 31 points in the last three games.
The motion system tries to set screens and move all five players around the court in an attempt to create an open shot. Self said that when the system is executed well, it is not designed to get the ball to a particular spot, but it can be moved anywhere on the court.
No matter how many points Jackson, Zeno and Pletka score, the face of the program is coach Bob Knight. Earlier this month, Knight became the winningest coach in the history of Division I men's basketball.
"it's an unbelievable accomplishment," Self said. "Not only to win that many games, but to stay in the business that long."
Knight will have to come up with an answer for Brandon Rush. The sophomore forward has been coming up big on both offense and defense recently.
"Since we've gone to Carolina, Brandon has played probably as well as anybody." Self said. "He's been a force on both ends."

'Hawks prepare for home meet

Saturday, each individual will be looking to shine as the KU team plays host at the layhawk Invitational, its lone home meet of the indoor season.
The KU track and field team understands that early in the season, it's more about individual improvement than the team's placement.
The all day meet will be held at Anschutz Sports Pavilion. Junior captain Paul Hefferon said he hopes the meet will act as a confidence booster for the team.

Jayhawks hungry for Iowa State win
BY CASE KEEFER
Despite the victory, Kansas is 0-4 in Big 12 Conference play.
Shaquina Mosley did it all in Wednesday night's win against Sacramento State.
Mosley, a senior guard, had a career-high 11 rebounds, a season-high seven assists and ten points. Her play elevated Kansas to snap its seven game losing streak. More importantly, her career night provided the layhawks with some much-needed momentum going into a conference game against Iowa State on Saturday.
"We ought to be the hungriest team for a win in America," Coach Bonnie Hentrickson said.
The game at Allen Fieldhouse win be Kansas' second shot at winning against the Cyclones. The lajhaways lost in Ames, Iowa, two weeks ago, 61-50.
In the defeat, Iowa State senior guard Lyndsey Medders led the team with 17 points and five assists. She shouldn't make as big of an impact this time around against Kansas senior guard Sharita Smith.
Smith has started two games in a row and has proven to be the jayhawks' most reliable defender.
Kansas also gave up a combined 30 points to junior forward Toccara Ross and sophomore forward Nicky Weiben. If the layhawks are going to stop the two forwards, they might have to do it without sophomore forward Maria Zimic.
"Sharita's defensive effort and intensity have worked for us when these young kids are floundering." Henrickson said. "It's good to have 'nurse leadership.'
Although medically cleared to play, Zinic missed Wednesday night's game because of a stress fracture in her tibia.
Zinc will not play unless she feels comfortable, Henrickson said.
In her absence, freshman forwards Sade Morris, Porscha Weddington and Danielle McCray will continue to see more minutes in their rotation. The three are confident they can team up with junior forward Taylor McIntosh to shut down the talented Iowa State front court.
Last time the teams faced, freshman guard Kelly Kohn shot 45 percent and had a team-high 12 points. Since then, Kohn has struggled with her shooting and has made only 21 of 63 field goals.
"She's just throwing it up there," Henrickson said. "She has to calm down and get her confidence back."
"We just have to buckle down and defend," Morris said, "If our defense leads our offense we will win the game."
If Kohn, the team's leading scorer with 11.2 points per game, continues to miss shots early against the Cyclones, the offensive burden will fall upon the shoulders of Mosley and McCray.
McCray scored 27 points in the jayhawks' last two games. On Saturday, however, she will be playing against one of the Big 12's best defenders, Nicky Weiben. Weiben has a total of 31 blocks this season.
Thanks to Mosley's burst of positive energy, the team is in good spirits and is confident about Saturday.
"We know the game will be close," Mosley said. "We just have got to keep fighting and pushing."

Regional and national media's take on Kansas athletics
"The temperature doesn't matter. Students will still line up outside to get into Phog Allen, and once they're in the building, they don't keep quiet. Head there on a day when these students have the white rally-balloon bats and the sound is deafening. Everyone seems to be outfitted in blue, with face paint seemingly a priority. I'm sure I've lost a bit of hearing in this place."
— ESPN.com columnist Andy Katz on the atmosphere at Allen Fieldhouse on Jan. 16, 2007.
"Consider that Kansas decided that the safety of its student body, and the image of its stellar basketball program, was above one selfish, volatile, immature individual who repeatedly had demonstrated he didn't deserve to be on scholarship, representing the university. Then, consider that Oregon State saw that the Kansas decision as a golden opportunity."
Oregonian columnist John Canzano on former Kansas basketball player's C.J. Giles transfer to Oregon State University on Jan. 14, 2007
"Bill Self can thank the schedule-makers. If there are any leftover asterisks in the aftermath of Barry Bonds' home-run chases of Hank Aaron and Mark McGwire, we need one for the Big 12 basketball race. The Jayhawks will win the championship for one reason and one reason only. They play in the North Division."
—Austin American-Statesman columnist Kirk Bohls on the Big 12 schedule on Jan. 5, 2007.
"One should be wary about drawing too many conclusions from a 30-point blowout, but the Jayhawks demonstrated once again they may have the best 'A' game in the country. When they are at their best — as they were on Thursday night — there is nobody better."
—S1.com columnist Seth Davis on Kansas' victory against Oklahoma State on Jan. 11, 2007.
"The fact that it took the University of Kansas to show OSU how it should recognize its most iconic coach of the modern era is embarrassing, and it can only be hoped Oklahoma State will someday follow the Jayhawks' lead."

Coaches vote Jayhawks
No. 6 in Big 12 Conference
The Big 12 Conference softball coaches' poll was released Thursday, and the Jayhawks are predicted to finish sixth in the conference this spring.
Texas A&M, who received eight of 10 first-place votes, is the preseason No.1 in the conference.
The Aggies are followed by Baylor, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Texas, which was the 2006 regular season champion, in the top five.
The bottom five are Kansas,
Oklahoma State, Missouri, Texas
Tech and Iowa State.
Last season, Texas A&M was also the preseason No. 1 pick and finished league play in fourth place.
Kansas tied for fifth place with Oklahoma and went on to defeat the Sooners in the Big 12 championship tournament in Oklahoma City.
The Jayhawks return 10 letter winners to the 2007 team, including pitcher Kassie Humphreys.
For the second consecutive year, the Jayhawks played in an NCAA regional tournament. A loss to Washington ended their season with a record of 36-26.
Kansas will start its season Feb. 8 at UC Santa Barbara in the Campbell-Cartier Classic. Their first home game will be March 9 against Drake.

BIG 12FASTBREAK
Big 12 writer Mark Dent's take on the men's conference race.
Raise your glasses to...
Raise your glasses to... Texas (13-4, 3-1) and
Oklahoma State (16-2, 2-1)
These two teams deserve all the praise in the world after playing one of the best games in Big 12 history Tuesday night. In case you missed it, here's the summary. Oklahoma State won in triple overtime 105-103, after Cowboy Mongoose and Longhorn Kevin Durant put their teams on their shoulders for the extra 15 minutes.
Send a congratulations Facebook message to...
D. J. Augustin, Texas
Picking Durant would be too easy for this week's honor. Don't worry, the leading candidate for National Player of the Year will have plenty of opportunities to be chosen. Anyway, the freshman Augustin is averaging 14.3 points per game in Big 12 play and leads the conference in assists at 7.5 per game. In the Oklahoma State game, Augustin tied the game at the end of regulation, and again at the end of the first overtime.
Start off conversations with these topics...
Snow Daze — No winter wonderlands here. Oklahoma State coulddrive to Lincoln to play Nebraska because of bad weather last weekend, and snow also caused Colorado to cancel two non-conference games
this season. Now they're expecting major snowfall in Lubbock, Texas, forcing Kansas to leave a day early.
40 Minutes of "What the Hell?"
- Missouri ran Mike Anderson's full-court pressure to perfection in non-conference play, losing only two games, but the Tigers have lost all four of their conference games. The problem? Matt Lawrence. He struggled in Missouri's first three Big 12 losses, but scored 19 points against Kansas. If he plays well, the Tigers could still win seven conference games.
Eddie Must Be Proud — Oklahoma State coach Sean Sutton did his best to mimic his dad Eddie's trademark grimaces Tuesday night against Texas. Sean's facial expressions were almost as goblin-like as his father's, and he even one-upped the former coach by nearly fainting in the huddle during a time out.
Iowa State's True Colors? — The Cyclones seemed to have put their last place finish in the Battle of Iowa behind them — Iowa State (11-7, 2-2) lost to Northern Iowa, Iowa and Drake — by beating Missouri and Nebraska and taking Kansas to overtime. But after Wednesday's loss to Colorado and two upcoming road games against Oklahoma State and Texas A&M, first year coach Greg McDermott's team is likely to endure a four-game losing streak.
Keep a close watch on the race for irrelevance...
Colorado (5-9, 1-3) appeared to be a shoe-in for this award, but Missouri has really made a strong case with an 0-4 start in conference play. The Tigers played masterfully in their first Big 12 game, choking away a 16 point second half lead and then losing at the buzzer like only Missouri could. The Buffaloos looked good early with three losses by an average of 22 points, but they really hurt their cause by defeating Iowa State on Wednesday. Look for Colorado to get back on the right track by losing at Nebraska on Saturday.
You probably said 'Oh my God'about...
Byron Eaton, Oklahoma State
This one was unbelievable. In the second half against Texas, Eaton sprinted to the sideline on the right wing as the shot clock wound down. In the same motion, Eaton jumped to save the ball, turned around slightly in the air and scooped and shot the ball for a 30-foot three-pointer at the shot clock buzzer.

BASKETBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
Missouri on Monday. The nail-bitter included 20 lead changes and a last-second three-point attempt from Missouri that would have tied the game.
"They did a lot of running," freshman forward Darrell Arthur said. "That pressure was pretty tough."
In the second half, the Tigers backed off into a zone defense, allowing Collins to get open from behind the arc and play his best game as a lavihawk.
"I don't know if I remember one individual taking over a big game quite like Sherron did," Self said.
Arthur and Collins showed no signs of their youth down the stretch
— the two freshmen scored 14 of the lavhaws' last 16 points.
The last time the Red Raiders played host to Kansas, it was freshman Sasha Kaun who found himself in the spotlight. Texas Tech's Darryl Dora hit a three-pointer with three seconds left in the second overtime to win the game 80-79. Kaun was defending Dora at the time, and was able to get a hand in his face.
"It was just a great shot," Kaun said. "And it was a really good game."
The team will have plenty of time to watch tape of that game
After that, they'll face the motion offense that is unique among Big 12 teams. But that's the way they want it, because it helps them prepare for March.
ing snowstorm. Self said the players and coaches will have a team dinner together, which is something they haven't had the opportunity to do on the road this year.

ASSAULT
Navy player faces court-martial
ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLLEGE PARK, Md. — Rape and drug charges were dropped against a former Navy football player, but the Naval Academy said Thursday it will court-martial him on lesser counts.
Kenny Ray Morrison was accused of using a date rape drug to assault the women in separate incidents,
but testimony from expert witnesses during pretrial hearings cast doubt on whether the women had been drugged.
Morrison is now charged with two counts of indecent assault and two counts of conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman. He previously faced more serious charges of rape and distribution of the drug GHB.
Despite the lesser charges, academy Superintendent Vice Adm Rodney Rempt decided that Morrison will face the most serious form of military hearing; a general court-martial. In a statement, the academy said Rempt made the decision "after careful consideration of all available evidence."
"These cases are always sad," Rempt said.

MELBOURNE, Australia — Rafael Nadal kept his composure in a 7-5, 6-3, 4-6, 6-2 win Thursday over Philipp Kohlschreiber and reached the third round of the Australian Open.
After zinging a shot into Nadal's left hand at 1 1 in the second set, Kohlschreiber went right at Nadal again in the next game, knocking him down with another laser. Nadal blocked it back as he fell away and dropped his racket, allowing the German to hit an easy winner. Nadal got up slowly, looking over his shoulder and shaking his head.

Nadal makes third round
Spain's Rafael Nadal reacts after winning his second round match against Germany's Philipp Kohlschreiber at the Australian Open tennis tournament in Melbourne on Thursday. Nadal won in four sets, 7-5, 6-3, 4-6, 2-1.
It took more than a few stingers to intimidate Nadal, who spent a record 78 weeks at No.2 in the rankings behind Roger Federer. But the Spaniard did not help himself, losing his serve three times in the third set.
PRO-TENNIS
Top seeded Maria Sharapova was even faster, winning 6-0, 6-3 over Russian compatriot Anastasia Rodionova in 58 minutes. Three other Russians — No. 9 Dinara Safina, No. 12 Anna Chakvetadze and No. 22 Vera Zvonareva — joined Sharapova in the third round in her half of the draw.
Today Russian women feature in all the singles matches on the center court.
Fifth seeded Nadia Petrova opens against 2005 Australian Open winner Serena Williams followed by an all-Russian match between No. 3 Svetlana Kuznetsova and Maria Kirilenko.
LA TENIS
Another Russian, U.S. Open semifinalist Mikhail Youzhny faces top-ranked Federer in a men's match. Defending champion Federer is on a 32-match winning streak overall and has lost only once in his last 22 matches at Melbourne Park.
In other matches fifth-seeded James Blake defeated Alex Kuznetsov 6-4, 6-1, 6-2. He now faces another American, Robby Ginepri, and has no plans of shaving for the occasion. Blake said he never shaves while he's winning in a tournament.
In the women's bracket Kim Clijsters and Martina Hingis moved closer to another quarterfinal showdown as they raced into the third round. Clijsters, who recently decided this will be her last season on the tour, took 59 minutes in a 6-3, 6-0 defeat of japan's Akiko Morigami. Hingis was nine minutes slower in her 6-2, 6-2 win over Russian Alla Kudryavtseva.
Third-seeded Nikolay Davydenko, No. 8 David Nalbandian, No. 10 Fernando Gonzalez, No. 15 Andy Murray and local favorite Lleyton Hewitt advanced to the third round.

The Jayhawk baseball team practices in its indoor hitting facility during the winter months. Having their own space helps the players keep up with competition from warmer climates.

Facility helps team endure practice
When the Jayhawk baseball team reported back to Lawrence on Jan. 11, the temperatures reached the mid-60s and provided a pleasant day to lay the infield at Hoglund Ballpark in preparation for the upcoming season.
BY ALISSA BAUER
When the team arrived for practice the next morning, the Kansas weather arrived. The temperature dropped more than 50 degress overnight and ice storms were underway.
Coach Ritch Price said the indoor- hitting facility, built down the right-field line at Hogglund Ballpark, was a saving grace.
This is the second full year the Jayhawks have used the facility.
Without the burden of snow and ice, opponents such as Hawaii at Hilo, Stanford and the array of Texas teams are practicing outside just as they would in April and May.
Kansas doesn't have it as easy, but the team has used the facility to make the best of its situation.
Prior to the completion of the baseball-only indoor facility, the team's only indoor practice space was the Anschutz Sports Pavilion.
Junior infielder Erik Morrison said the situation wasn't ideal.
"It's so hard to see in there and then you've got to fight to get time with other teams in there," he said. "So this is cool. We can get on a good schedule and come in here whenever we want."
With the early start to its pre-season, Price thinks the team should
be in decent shape.
The team opens its season on Feb 1 at Hawaii at Hilo.
"We're actually about two weeks ahead of most of the teams in the Midwest," he said. "I'm a big believer that January and February are more important than the fall."

Donation to fund new clubhouse
BASEBALL
BY SHAWN SHROYER
The first pitch of 2007 has yet to be thrown, but the Kansas baseball team already has a reason to look forward to 2008.
Thanks to a $600,000 donation by two men, coach Ritch Price's ball club will be moved out of its locker room in the Wagnon Student Athlete Center and into a new clubhouse in Hoglund Ballpark this time next year.
"It's just a very generous gift by those two gentlemen and it should allow us to continue to enhance our facilities and continue to help us in the recruiting process," Price said. "I couldn't be more thrilled."
Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director of external affairs, said the department had yet to hire a construction company because the scope of the project is unconfirmed.
Marchiony did confirm that construction on the clubhouse was scheduled to begin in May and should be completed around the end of October or early November.
"We're going to be sending out bids to determine which construction company will be used," Marchiony said.
Although it's too early to know the specific amenities of the clubhouse, Price said Lew Perkins, athletics director, and Sean Lester, associate athletics director of internal affairs, have welcomed his ideas on the clubhouse.
"I've been allowed to sit down and talk about what things are important to the players," Price
said. "Lew and Sean Lester have been very, very good about letting me have that input as a baseball guy about what we need, how we can get it to best serve our players and be a first-class facility for 25 years, long after I'm gone and the next head baseball coach takes over."
Last season a video board was installed in the right field scoreboard, and in 2005 a hitting facility was built along the right field foul line.
"That's one of the great things that Lew brings to the table: everything he does, he does first class," Price said. "It's going to be a phenomenal facility."
Kansan sportswriter Shawn Shroyer can be contacted at sshroyer@ kansan.com.
The clubhouse will be built behind the dugout on the first base side of the field, beneath the bleachers.
The donation for the clubhouse was announced at halftime of the Dec. 23 Kansas men's basketball game.
Edited by Trevan McGee
The addition of a clubhouse to Hoglund Ballpark will be the third major upgrade for the stadium in three years.
The donors' identities have remained anonymous, but Price and Marchiony said the men would be recognized at a home baseball game sometime this season. No date has been chosen yet to honor the donors.

Coach returns to Jayhawks
BY ASHER FUSCO
Kansas football coach Mark Mangino did not need to look too far in search of a new offensive coordinator.
On Monday, Mangino filled the position with Ed Warinner, who coached with the Kansas program in 2003 and 2004.
Warinner replaces Nick Quartaro,
Warinner replies who resigned in late December. Warinner will also be responsible for coaching the quarterbacks. Warinner most recently served as the run-game coordinator and offensive line coach at the University of Illinois for two seasons. Prior to coaching at Illinois, he coached the offensive line and coordinated the running offense at Kansas.
Warinner
M. K. RUSKIN
Before originally joining the Kansas coaching staff in 2003, Warinner held various positions at Air Force, Army, Michigan State and
Akron.
Throughout his coaching career Warinner has gained a reputation as a mastermind of the run game. Last season, Illinois finished 10th nationally and first in the Big Ten Conference in rushing yards per game using Warinner's blocking schemes. During his tenure at Army, he oversaw one of the best running offenses in the nation. The Black Knights averaged more than 275 rushing yards per game in several different seasons.
In his previous two-year stint at Kansas, Warinner helped orchestrate an efficient offense that helped lead the jayhawks to the 2003 Tangerine Bowl, averaging more than 130 rushing yards per game.
The Jayhawk offense Warinner stands to inherit has not proven nearly as potent. The now-departed Jon Cornish ran for a school record 1,457 yards last season, but the offense never seemed to find its rhythm because of inexperience at the quarterback position and the lack of a downfield-receiving threat.
In 2007, the Jayhawks will lose three starters on the offensive line.
including second team All-Big 12 center David Ochoa. Warinner may need to rely heavily on junior college transfers and previously untested lajy hawkins.
In a press release Mangino said, "He is a bright, innovative coach who has the necessary leadership qualities needed to maximize the production of our offensive talent."
Luckily for Kansas, Warinner has a proven track record when it comes to getting the most from his players. Several of his players, including Adrian Jones of the New York lets and Ben Miller of the Cleveland Browns, have gone on to play in the NFL.
The first order of business for Warinner and the rest of the Kansas coaching staff is to secure commitments from next year's incoming class. Recruits can sign their national letters of intent beginning Feb. 1.

Kansas to open play indoors
》 TENNIS
BY RUSTIN DODD
The Kansas women's tennis team will open its season this Saturday at the First Serve Tennis Center, 5200 Clinton Parkway.
The Jayhawks will play host to the Indiana Hoosiers at 9 a.m. The two teams competed in the Indiana University Hoosier Classic in October.
"Iliza (dvēvea) and Edina played very well during the fall, and
The layhawks have several key contributors returning this year, including the 2006 team MVP Elizaveta Avdeeva, Obninsk, Russia, junior. Avdevea was named to the 2006 All-Big 12 singles and doubles teams, and she led the layhawks with 18 singles victories.
Other key returning contributors include Ksenia Bukina, Obninsk, Russia, sophomore, who was Devieva's doubles partner last spring, and Edina Horvath, Budapest, Hungary, sophomore. Horvath and Devieva won the Doubles Championship at the ITA Central Regional Championships in Tulsa, Oka, during the fall season.
we think they will be able to carry that over to this season." Lauren Hommell, Roswell, Ga., junior, said.
Hommell, Stephane Smith, Salina junior, and Yuliana Swistun, Ufa, Russia, sophomore, also return, giving the jayhawks a total of six returning players. Kuniugida Dorn, Sopron, Hungary, freshman, is the lone newcomer on the team.
There are no seniors on the roster, but Homnell has stepped up at practice and provided a vocal presence.
"Lauren's a great leader" Smith said. "She tries to keep everyone motivated during practice."
Hommel struggled with injuries during the fall season, but has embraced the leadership role.
"I just try to be loud and vocal and pump everyone up" she said.
To continue the program's recent upswing behind fourth-year coach Amy Hall-Holt, the team will have to utilize the chemistry it developed during the fall.
"We came together as a team in the fall, and I think we can continue that into this spring" she said.
Under Hall-Holt, the layhawks finished 14-11 last year and tied for 8th in the Big 12 Conference.
The team defeated Colorado in the first round of the Big 12 Championships before bowing to nationally ranked Baylor. The large question will be whether the Jayhawks can translate their recent success against the Big 12 North schools to the perennial powers in the Big 12 South Kansas went 1-5 against the Big 12 South, including a 0-4 record against the state of Texas, while the team went 3-2 in the Big 12 North with victories against Colorado, Iowa State and Missouri.
"Our goal is to make the NCAA tournament." Hornmeld said. "That's big for us. We want to break into the top 30."
The team peaked last year at No.62 in the FILA women's tennis rankings.

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL PREVIEW
KANSAS VS. IOWA STATE 7 P.M., SATURDAY, ALLEN FIELDHOUSE
Offense
iowa State enters Saturday's match-up with a losing record in conference play. The team's poor start can be attributed to its lack of production on the offensive end. Senior Lyndsey Medders shoots only 35 percent from the field and was held to 2-for-10 shooting by Kansas earlier in the month. However, the Iowa State offense is an efficient scoring machine compared to that of Kansas. The Jayhawks are currently last in the Big 12 Conference in both points per game and field goal percentage.
Defense
Advantage:
AIRLANDS
Neither team has enjoyed much success on defense so far this season. Iowa State's lone defensive standout is 6-foot-4 sophomore Nicky Wieber. Wieben has blocked 31 shots this season while pulling down more than six rebounds per game. Kansas has an intimidating defensive presence of its own in junior guard Taylor McNlntosh. She frequently uses her long arms to alter opponents' shots. Unfortunately for the Jayhawks, McNlntosh spends much of her time on the bench because of foul trouble.
Momentum
The Cyclones have encountered more than their fair share of adversity in the early stages of conference play. The Jayhawks have come up short in all of their Big 12 games.Both teams are going through rough stretches,but the young Kansas squad is in far worse shape than the veteran-led Iowa State team

NAACP urges silence in case
DUKE LACROSSE CASE
JFK
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DURHAM, N.C. — The state chapter of the NAACP on Thursday called on those involved with the Duke lacrosse sexual assault case — from defense attorneys to state bar officials — to stop talking publicly while the state attorney general's office begins its review.
Karen Tam/ASSOCIATED PRESS
North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper answers questions, Saturday Jan. 13 in Raleigh, N.C., after he announced his office agreed to assume control of the sexual assault case against three Duke University lacrosse players at the request of District Attorney Mike Nifong.
"We sincerely believe that the high level of public scrutiny and controversy involved in this matter is unwarranted and threatens to pervert the truth-finding process," said the Rev. William Barber, president of the North Carolina chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
No parties involved in the case have indicated whether they plan to stop speaking publicly.
Durham County District Attorney Mike Nifong, under heavy criticism for his handling of the case, asked the attorney general's office this month to take over the prosecution — a decision Barber said his organization applauded.
Until turning the case over to
state prosecutors, Nifong led the investigation into allegations that a 28-year-old black student at North Carolina Central University, hired to perform as a stripper, was raped and beaten by three white men at a March 13 party thrown by Duke's highly ranked lacrosse team.
In late December, after the accuser changed a key detail in her account, Nifong dropped the rape charges. Legal experts have said there appears to be little evidence to support the remaining charges against Dave Evans, Collin Finnerty and Reade Seligmann.

Clemson's first losing streak of the season could be attributed to bad timing.
Ranked teams suffer losses
North Carolina, playing for the first time since losing its No. 1 ranking, beat Clemson 77-55 on Wednesday night, the Tigers' second straight loss after starting the season with 17 consecutive wins.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Freshman Brandon Wright had 17 points on 8-of-10 shooting for the fourth-ranked Tar Heels (16-2, 3-1 Atlantic Coast Conference), who lost 94-88 at Virginia Tech last Saturday.
The Tigers (17-2, 3-2) were the
last beaten team in Division I until losing 92-87 at Maryland on Saturday.
Four other ranked teams lost Wednesday: Vanderbilt beat No. 10 Alabama 94-73; Villanova defeated No. 20 Notre Dame 102-87; Auburn downed No. 22 Tennessee 83-80; and Florida State beat No. 23 Virginia Tech 82-73.
James Mays and Cliff Hammonds both had 15 points for the Tigers.
K. C. Rivers, Clemson'sleading scorer, was held to four points. Clemson was 23-of-68 from the field, 4-of-19 from 5-point range and 5-of-19 from the free-throw line.

Judge orders Jerry Seinfeld to pay broker's commission
NEW YORK — Jerry Seinfeld's high-priced Manhattan home is going to cost him more than he thought, about $100,000 more.
house and made a deal to buy it without Cohen after they were unable to reach her and she failed to return their calls.
A Manhattan judge has ruled the 52-year-old comedian owes about that much as a commission to the broker who helped him find a town house on the Upper West Side that he and wife Jessica bought for $3.95 million in February 2005.
Seinfeld had argued that the broker, Tamara Cohen, didn't deserve the commission because she failed to show the West 82nd Street brownstone on the Jewish Sabbath, the day the Seinfelds wanted to see it.
The Seinfelds looked at the
Cohen said she had told the Seinfield she observed the Jewish Sabbath and couldn't work between Friday evening and sun-down Saturday. But the Seinfields told the court they didn't know why Cohen didn't return their calls
State Supreme Court Justice Rolando Accosta said "the evidence clearly indicates she served as the Seinfelds' real estate broker" and that she had shown them a number of residences before finding the town house.
The judge also noted that Cohen had agreed with Maximillan Sanchez, the broker who listed the house for its owners, to split evenly a 5 percent or 6 percent fee, her half paid by the Seinfelds and
"The only real issue here, as far as the court is concerned," Accosta said in his decision earlier this month, "is whether the broker's fee was 5 or 6 percent."
his half paid by the owners of the house.
The judge ordered a trial to determine how much Cohen should get. At 5 percent, the total fee would be $197,500 and Seinfeld would owe Cohen $98,750; at 6 percent, the fee would be $237,000 and Cohen's cut would be $118,500.
Seinfeld's lawyer, Richard Menaker, wasn't immediately available, his office said.
Cohen's lawyer, Steven Landy, said he was "gratified and happy with the decision, and we believe it was the correct one."
TELEVISION "American Idol" draws nearly 40 million viewers
Associated Press
PASADENA, Calif. — The parade of awful amateurs on "American Idol" attracted viewers in staggering numbers this week as the series continues to grow in popularity.
An estimated 36.9 million people watched the two-hour special on Fox Wednesday night, only slightly down from the 37.3 million who tuned in for Tuesday's two-hour season premiere, according to Nielsen Media Research.
To put the numbers into per
They were the two biggest nights of prime-time entertainment on Fox since the show first aired nearly two decades ago.
The audience for what host Ryan Seacrest dubbed the "weirdest turnout in history" on Wednesday was 17 percent bigger than the corresponding night a year ago. Nielsen said.
spective, the most popular show on TV so far this season, ABC's "Desperate Housewives," averages 20.7 million viewers a week — or a little more than half of what "Idol" delivered upon its return.
Wednesday's edition featured hopefuls from Seattle, one of seven cities where auditions were held last summer. And it provided plenty of fodder for cantankerous judge Simon Cowell.
"What the bloody hell was that?" judge Simon Cowell said after enduring a unique version of "Unchained Melody" adding, "It was almost non-human."
To another woman who insisted a drink of water would smooth her delivery, Cowell replied: "You could lie in a bath with your mouth open and you couldn't sing."
The ratings performance of "American Idol" defies traditional television rules, where series in their sixth season would normally see a slip in popularity. As gleeful as that made the people at Fox, it
depressed their network rivals.
"There always that hope that the next iteration of "American idol; will show some weakness," said Nancy Tellem, president of the CBS Paramount Network "and clearly it hasn't."
Fox's rivals jokingly — it appears — refer to "American idol" as the death star. NBC entertainment president Kevin Reilly said he was ready to declare the television season over on Tuesday, before Fox storms past everyone in the ratings.
Reilly said a network has to "rope-a-dope a little bit" to get through the "American Idol" onslaught. CBS has tended to have the most success, where a show like "NCIS" appeals to a different audience.
"Our shows hang in there OK," said CBS scheduling chief Kelly Kahl. "The other guys kind of get vaporized."

TIP-OFF
WHAT'S AT STAKE
Kansas comes into the game as the best team in the Big 12, and the matchup is one that fans won't be lining up out the door to watch. As is usually the case for a top team, there's much less to gain then there is to lose. Kansas cannot move up in the rankings by winning, only down by losing.
STAR WATCH
Freshman guard Sherron Collins had a breakout
COLLEGE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
game against Missouri. Afterward, coach Bill Self said that he'd never seen a player dominate a rivalry game
the way that Collins did down the stretch. The key for him is to build off of a big outing without letting it get to his head – he's just a freshman, and inconsistency comes with the territory.
QUESTION MARK
Can Kansas overcome "The DePaul Factor?" The Jayhawks have a bad tendency to come out flat in games that don't matter. It hasn't happened since playing DePaul, and a spirited effort in Ames may be proof that the Jayhawks have moved past that, but fans will get nervous if the Red Raiders can take a lead in the second half.
3 REASONS KUWINS
ONE: Foul trouble doesn't hurt the Jayhawks like it used to. Now that Sasha Kaun has fully recovered from injury and Darnell Jackson has developed into a solid presence off the bench, the Jayhawks can afford to lose one of their big men without major harm.
TWO: Sherron Collins is hot right now. Mario Chalmers doesn't need to lose sleep over his starting spot, instead he should be thrilled that the Jayhawks have a sixth man like Collins – a luxury even some championship teams don't have.
**THREE:** No distractions in Lubbock. Forget the bright lights of Las Vegas or the exciting nightlife in Austin. Lubbock sits in a dry county, meaning the players won't even be able to get a six pack the night before the game. The bar scene makes studying game tape look like an attractive option.
RED STORM BREWING? Jayhawks look to avoid first Big 12 loss
COUNTDOWN TO TIP-OFF GAME DAY
KANSAS VS TEXAS TECH 3 p.m., Saturday, United Spirit Arena, Lubbock, Texas, ESPN
Kansas 16-2,3-0 Big 12
Offense
Being exposed to several types of defenses has helped Kansas perfect its various offenses. The Jayhawks right now are performing best against zone defenses. The play is for Julian Wright to get the ball inside and feed it to a Kansas three-point shooter. When the shots are falling, defenses second-guess their strategy very quickly. Against man-to-man defenses, the Jayhawks will rely on their big men to play a smart game and stay out of foul trouble. It helps that Darnell Jackson has emerged as a viable bench player over the past month. Jackson isn't expected to do anything flashy when he enters, but provides the rebounding presence that the Jayhawks need.
KU KU KU
Texas Tech 13-5,2-1
Offense
---
Texas Tech has three players who can consistently score in Jarrius Jackson, Charlie Burgess and Martin Zeno, and the team shoots nearly 44 percent from behind the arc. The only problem is that the Red Raiders don't shoot enough three-pointers — they attempt less trets than anyone in the conference. Outside of the big three of Burgess, Zeno and Jackson, Tech has few scoring options. Knight seems to have a revolving door rotation for frontcourt players Damir Suljagic, Michael Prince, Jon Plefka, Darryl Dora and Esmir Rizivz have all started the this year. The common thread for all of them — all are mediocre offensive players.
Defense
At this point, Kansas' defense has to be considered the best in the Big 12. The anchor is Brandon Rush, who gets assigned to the opposing team's best shooter in the final minutes of games. Because of his size, he can play almost every position on the floor. He also gets some helpful advice from his mom, who calls him on game days and tells him to attack the basket. The only problem the Jayhawks had against Missouri is that early in the game the Tigers were able to get back on offense before the Jayhawks, allowing them transition points. But toward the end of the half, Kansas adjusted and stopped the fast break for the remainder of the game.
TTT
KU
The Jayhawks have an undefeated Big 12 record and have already won a game in a tough road enviroment — winning in overtime against Iowa State in Ames. Still, coach Bill Self knows that when teams play Kansas, they bring their best game — it's the bullseye that comes with being a highly touted team. That means the team can't overlook Texas Tech, because the Red Raiders will likely play their best game of the season on their home court. It's unfair to expect a blowout in a game like this, but fans should certainly expect Kansas to leave Lubbock with a victory.

Defense
Maybe Bob Knight has gotten soft in his old age, because this team doesn't have the toughness characteristic of his past squads. Texas Tech is dead last in the conference in rebounding margin and second-to-last in field goal defense. But despite the apparent shortcomings, the Red Raiders have only allowed seven of their 18 opponents to score 70 points or more. To have a chance in this game, Texas Tech's big men Damir Suljagic and Michael Prince will have their hands full with Sasha Kaun and Julian Wright. Neither is tall enough for Kaun, or athletic enough to successfully guard Wright.
A
Momentum
When Bob Knight won his 800th game on New Year's Day, the victory did more than seal Knight's place in history. It lifted a tremendous burden off Knight's and the players' shoulders. They had been distracted when media dissected the present team and Knight's teams of the past for two weeks. Now the Red Raiders are ready to roll and have already won two conference games against Oklahoma and Kansas State. The only thing keeping Tech down is a close loss to Baylor last Saturday.

WHAT'S AT STAKE
For this basketball season to be really great, Texas Tech needs to make the NCAA Tournament. A victory against Kansas would certainly increase the team's chances to make the field of 65.The Red Raiders only have two victories against possible tournament teams, Arkansas and New Mexico, and those teams are far from guaranteed to make it.

the Red Raiders. In four out of five of their losses, Zeno has scored less than his average.
QUESTION MARK
Can Bob Knight beat the Jayhawks? Knight has more career victories than any coach in NCAA Division 1 history, but he turns into a whiter-haired Kiss Woolridge against Kansas. His Indiana and Texas Tech teams have gone 2-10 against the Jayhawks since 1990. That record includes a 40 point undressing in the 2002 Big 12 tournament and a 34 point teasting last year.
3 REASONSTTWINS
ONE! Home Cookin' United Spirt Arena isn't the toughest place to play, but the Red Raiders only lost twice in Lubbock two years ago. The Red Raiders have only lost one game at home this season.
**TWO:** Charlie Burgess — The junior is due for a big game after posting sub-par shooting efforts against Baylor and Kansas State. Burgess also rebounds extremely well for a 6'1" guard. He's grabbed six or more rebounds six times this season.
THREE. 2005 Redux — It was Valentine's Day heartbreak for Kansas two years ago. The Red Raiders went toe to toe with the Jayhawks on Feb. 14 for 40 minutes and two overtime periods, finally winning 80-79 after a controversial traveling call.

Zeno
Rush had no trouble shredding the Red Raider defense last year on his way to a career-high 24 points. Zeno is the player that needs to hold Rush in check for Texas Tech to have any chance. Rush's best bet is to drive against the slightly less athletic Zeno. A major part of Zeno's offensive game is free throws. He averages almost seven attempts per game. If Rush guards Zeno (there's a chance he'll guard Jarrius Jackson part of the time), he should be quick enough to prevent him from getting to the basket and drawing fouls.

sled down a hill in Marvin's Grove, the wooded, grassy area near the Campain.
Lawrence received about 6 inches of snow during the weekend.
From canoes to mattresses to cardboard boxes, students tried it all when sliding down the hills on campus during Saturday's 6-inch snowfall.
Kelli Haug, Salina junior, went sledding with her friends Saturday night on the hill behind Carruth-O'Leary Hall. Haug estimated 200 other students were sledding on the same hill at midnight.
"Alumni have always talked about sledding and the tradition of it," Haag said. "I will always have that memory."
Andrea Potter, Branson, Mo,
sophomore, also went sledding
Saturday night. She said that even
though she was sore because of it,
she do it all over again.
"It's a hippy snowman." Folmsbee said.
Sai Folmbsie, Topeka freshman,

Bruce Jones, meteorologist at KSN7 2 News in Topeka, said that
the best sledding conditions are in the coldest weather. Saturday night, temperatures were just below freezing.
"When it gets to 32 degrees the snow starts to melt." Jones said. "As it warms up, the snow gets stickier and sleds don't go quite as fast as they would in weather in the teens."
Folksmile said the versatility of the snow was what made it so enjoyable.
"Some people choose to ride it, some choose to sculpt it." Folmsbee said. "More aggressive people choose to fight with it, but people from anywhere can come together and frolic in the snow."
While Saturday's snowfall meant fun in the snow for some students, it meant more work for Facilities Operations workers who dear off sidewalks. Facilities Operations staff members were on alert as weather forecasters called for snow.

Kansas senator seeks presidential nomination
BY TYLER HARBERT
Amid fantail and ceremony,
U.S. Sen. Sam Brownback (R-Kan.)
added his name to the lengthening
list of presidential candidates for
2008 on Saturday.
More than 200 supporters gathered at Heritage Hall in the Kansas Exposentre in Topeka. Though most present weren't surprised by his bid, Brownback insisted his decision raised some eyebrows.
"There are a number of my friends, family and teachers who are shocked," he said.
Accompanied by his wife Mary
and their five children, Brownback encouraged his conservative platform by calling for more traditional foundations in the United States regarding faith, freedom and families.
Brownback outlined several other bases for his campaign, including supporting marriage between only a man and a woman, for giving people more choices with their Social Security and for finding more ways to conquer cancer.
"We need to rebuild families, he said. "We need stronger family in this country."
"It's time to put this killer to death." he said.

He said having a candidate from Kansas could generate more interest in the 2008 election around the political science department and it could increase the number of student internships on the campaign.
Burdett Loomis, professor of political science, said Brownback is the "purist social conservative" currently vying for the presidency, which gives him a clear constituency. But Loomis said America is presently moving more to the center of the political line, meaning Brownback will need to find other

》 STUDENT SENATE
Delta Force gears up for April
BY ASHLEE KIELER
Delta Force officially entered the 2007 Student Senate elections Friday with the announcement of its presidential and vice-presidential candidates.
The party selected Ryan Rowan, Kansas City, Mo., junior, as its presidential candidate. Rowan's running mate is John Cross, Kansas City, Mo., junior.
Rowan and Cross have yet to officially release their platforms, but they agreed that student awareness was a top priority in the April elections.
"We want to educate students so they know their options on campus," Rowan said.
Rowan, who currently holds the Student Senate seat on the National Pan-Hellenic Council, said he believed it was important for students to know where their student fees went. Student Senate oversees the handling of student fees.
Cross, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences senator, said students should be educated on the serious issues regarding the University as a way to improve campus life. If elected, he said he would strive to "give back to the community that he loves."
Rowan and Cross said they believed they could offer the student body and campus a new sense of value through their work with Delta Force.
"People make promises that they don't follow through on," Rowan said. "If we make a promise, we'll stand by it."
Rowan said he and Cross aimed to instill their core values of leadership, accountability and integrity.
Delta Force was the second coalition to announce its candidates for the elections. Ignite named Adam Hurly, Sioux Falls, S.D., sophomore, as its presidential candidate and Austin Kelly, Lawrence junior, as its vice-presidential candidate at the end of the fall semester.

>> EMERGENCY VEHICLES
Traditional red to replace outdated models
BY ERICK R. SCHMIDT
Douglas County emergency workers will soon be seeing red.
For the first time since the 1970s, the Lawrence Douglas County Fire Medical department's emergency response units will be the traditional red design. More than half of the current vehicles are light green.
The change is part of an effort to replace the department's aging fleet with more modern, updated equipment. The sirens and lights on all
vehicles will be updated to those of the newest models, making them as recognizable as possible.
Chief Mark Bradford said safety was the department's main concern for making the changes.
"With MP33 and stereos, now it's a visual sort of thing." Bradford said. "The LED lighting gets your attention, and that what's we need — to catch your attention."
The department had certain guidelines for safety requirements, but color was not part of the safety concern. Instead, the color change
was just a move back to the traditional look of emergency response vehicles, Bradford said.
"In the early 70s, color was of importance. They determined green was the best color. Now it's about sound and lighting," he said.
The move will also be cost effective for the department. A less-complicated logo will be used on all new vehicles, meaning an easier, cheaper application than those currently featured.
Funding for the change will come mostly from a replacement
program operated by the county, Bradford said. The department routinely changes out older vehicles with better, newer replacements. The department has a few options: it could either purchase the vehicles or lease them through an increasingly popular method similar to that of leasing a car.
Purchasing equipment can become costly, with some vehicles costing as much as $750,000. When the department leases equipment rather than buying it, the department is able to plan the annual

"There really isn't a cost other than replacement," Bradford said. "We're not going out to paint everything."
budget more accurately. Bradtoro said while the change would be visible to motorists, taxpayers wouldn't see any difference in their pocketbooks.

Spotlight on Organizations: One in Four
BY JACQUE LUMSDEN
The numbers may be scary,but don't worry; Although One In Four may sound like a math organization, it isn't.
Will Sellers, Sterling. Va., senior, said One In Four is an all male group dedicated to educating men about sexual assault and rape, and teaching them how to help a sexual assault survivor.
The organization is fairly new to the University of Kansas. Sellers, the founder and current president, founded the group last semester in November. However, the group
didn't become an official chapter of the national organization until Dec. 5,2006.
A transfer student from James
Madison University, where he was involved in the group. Sellers decided the University needed a group dedicated to preventing sexual assault.
While the

For the upcoming semester the group is planning a 24-hour campout. Sellers said this would help raise awareness about the large number of women who were raped or sexually assaulted in 24 hours.
Sellers
"Men should get involved if they would like to do something about the statistic that one in four women will be raped or sexually assaulted by the time they graduate college"
Meeting times have not been scheduled for this semester.
Sellers said.

"The organization stands for what it means to be a true man," Sellers said. "A man who is a walking symbol of respect, dignity, care, and integrity."

Water line break causes damage for residents
A water line broke at about 10 am. Friday near 945 Massachusetts St. As of Friday morning, officials did not know what caused the break or where exactly it was located.
"We're trying to control the water and minimize damages," said Shaun Coffey, division chief of Lawrence Douglas County Fire and Medical.
Firefighters inspected inside the Mobile Communications Centre cell phone store, but the water also affected other tenants.
Rusty Glenn, El Dorado senior lives above the store. He said he heard some alarms but noticed nothing wrong. A couple minutes later, he went out into the hall and felt water on his feet.
"Water was crashing down everywhere," Glenn said. "In some spots it was a couple inches deep."

Avoiding work keeps woman from benefits
DES MOINES, Iowa — An administrative judge has denied unemployment benefits to a woman who was fired from her job for keeping a journal detailing her efforts to avoid work.
Emmalee Bauer, 25, of Elkhart, was a Sheraton hotel sales coordinator. A supervisor told her to stop writing on company time, but Bauer wrote her 300 single-spaced page journal, on her work computer.
Bauer was fired for misuse of company time after a supervisor discovered the journal last year. Judge Susan Ackerman denied Bauer's request for unemployment last week.

BROWNBACK (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
issues that people will support
"He wants to become better known but when he does become better known, it's going to be a problem for him." Loomis said.
During his speech, Brownback pushed various national issues such as North America becoming more energy self-reliant in the next 15 years, protecting human life at all stages and embracing the country's national motto of "In God we trust."
"The last thing we need in America is to take God out of our public lives and institutions," Brownback said.
Brownback recently returned from Afghanistan and Iraq and said that America must take the bipartisan stance in order to keep the will to win the wars being fought in those countries. The 2008 presidential hopeful has a slight edge over his opponents on international issues because of his recent travels.
But if Brownback wants a legitimate shot at becoming president, Haider-Markel said the senator will need to take a stance on a major issue such as the War in Iraq.
Kansan staff writer Tyler Harbert can be contacted at tharbert@ kansan.com.
"I think it's probably his time to run, but the likelihood he'll be able to stay in and affect the direction and the tone of the race seems unlikely to me," Haider-Markel said.

TRANSPORTATION
Bus talks continue
BY MATT ERICKSON
Lawrence and University of Kansas officials may soon begin discussions on increasing coordination between the Lawrence Transit System, known as the T, and KU on Wheels bus lines.
During winter break, the city commission received a report recommending a complete merger of the two bus systems and directed city staff to discuss possibilities with the University, Mayor Mike Amxv said.
"We're proceeding in the way we think that's best, and that is to have city staff meet with officials from the University and KU on Wheels to see if a plan can be put together," Amyx said.
"There needs to be continued discussion and negotiation about things," Galante said.
Cliff Galante, city public transit administrator, said he hoped talks between the city and the University would begin within two weeks.
Jason Boots, student body president, said serious discussions could wait until after a special student election in mid-February that could eliminate the bus pass system and could give all students unlimited bus
Boots said one of the University's main concerns was that students retain input and leadership on the University bus system.
"We've taken a lot of pride over the years that our program has been complexly student-funded and student-run," Boots said.
Galante said that the city wouldn't be able to spend any more money on transit than it does now.
He said the most likely immediate changes to the two bus systems would be ones not requiring additional funding. More expensive changes, such as adding routes or replacing vehicles, may need to be phased in during later years, Galante said.
Amys said he thought the city and the University may be able to come back to the city commission with a plan sometime in the middle of this year. However, he said he couldn't predict what decisions they might reach.

Unmanned aircraft takes shape
》 POLAR RESEARCH
BY BRIAN LEWIS-JONES
Flying an airplane for hours over a barren white ocean of polar ice can be a potentially dangerous situation for a pilot. That's why during the next month, KU aerospace engineers will review the design of an unmanned aircraft capable of flying over the Antarctic on its own.
Rick Hale, associate professor of aerospace engineering, said estimated melting rates needed to be more
closely examined. A small amount of water between the glacier and the bedrock could cause ice to slip into the ocean, where it would melt more quickly.
Bill Donovan, Osawatomie graduate student and chief designer, said the aircraft, weighing half a ton with a 27-foot wingspan, would be able to measure ice thickness using wing mounted radar devices. Donovan and his team, working with the Center for Remote Sensing and Ice Sheets, are participating in an international research project to estimate the glacial melting rate in polar regions.
Aboard a U.S. Air Force cargo airplane last month, Donovan and Hale flew from Christchurch, New Zealand, to McMurdo Station, Antarctica, to better understand flying conditions. The two spent three weeks in Antarctica test-flying a smaller aircraft at McMurdo Station and on the West Antarctic Ice Sheet.
"Many days the sky was gray, the snow was white and you can't see the horizon." Hale said. "The pilot just gets washed out. That's very dangerous."
The proposed unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) would take off and land by remote control. Autopilot would control the UAV for much of its journey.

Eudget situation needs honest action
In testimony before Congress last week, Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke worried of a growing threat to both the American economy and the federal budget. His concern was not the profligate war spending, nor the mounting national debt. Not even the astonishing spending rates and negative savings rates of American consumers worried Bernanke on this day. The most immediate concern in his eyes is the looming debt presented by unfunded entitlement programs.
Bering lawmakers by telling them the right time to address the problem was "about 10 years ago". Bernanke put into stark words exactly how serious this budget menace could become. Federal allocations for Social Security and Medicare will almost double over the next two decades if funding is not addressed, requiring more borrowing by the federal government to cover the shortfall. These events will coincide with the massive influx of retirements by Baby Boomers, further complicating an already discouraging prospect.
Early in the Bush administration, previous Fed chairman Alan Greenspan gave a similar warning but still endorsed the impending tax cuts, provided they were accompanied by reductions in federal spending. The promised cuts cut never materialized, lost in the shuffle of slow economic growth and the swelling costs of the war in Iraq. Washington's ruling party also discovered, like so many before them, that the ability to control budgets is the most transfixing and corrupt-
But the time for the trumpy of political concerns is over. No longer can our federal government continue to pass the bill for these entitlement programs to future generations. No potential solution, including budget cuts and tax increases, should be off the table in this discussion, as the consequences are too significant and ominous to be bogged down in tired soundbites and campaign retraits. Students should not allow elected leaders to pay lip service to such problems while hoping for a budgetary elixir years down the road.
Both sides have made modest attempts in recent years to address these problems, but the efforts have so far spiraled into little more than warring philosophical and political camps. President Bush's ill-conceived semi-privatization plan for Social Security was quickly trampled by relevant special interest groups and old-line Democrats who campaign on little else. Conspicuously absent from the Democrats' feverish opposition to the President's plan was any sensible alternative, aside from the same tired lines of "supporting our seniors" and "risky stock market gamble." Perhaps both parties now find themselves secretly yearning for the days of the Clinton surplus and his desire to "save Social Security first."

"Freedom" journals stop violence
COMMENTARY
Based on a true story, the movie "Freedom Writers" tells the story of neglected, "unteachable" students living in gang-ruled Los Angeles neighborhoods during the post-Rodney King era of 1994.
Anyone who has seen "Dangerous Minds" might think that "Freedom Writers" is just another unconventional teacher makes a difference movie—but it's not. The extra time and effort the teacher, Erin Gruwell, puts toward her class deserves the Nobel Peace Prize.
Griwell, played by two-time Academy Award winner Hilary Swank, is a fresh-out of college English teacher who wants to make a difference in the racially integrated Wilson High School in Long Beach, Calif.
Instead of being segregated by the school system, Gruwell's class is self-segregated into African Americans, Latinos, Hispanics and Cambodians.
When a caricature depicting one of the African-American students with big lips and a big nose gets
Cuieless to the harsh reality of the school she chose to teach, where students come to classes armed, fights break out daily and teachers are more like babysitters. Gruwell walks into the classroom with poise and excitement. She quickly realizes the situation she's gotten herself into.
BY JODI ANN HOLOPIREK
When the assignment is completed, Gruwell combines her students' stories and asks them to come up with a name to call themselves. They chose Freedom Writers after the Freedom Riders who fought against segregation during the Civil Rights Movement.
KANSAN COLUMNIST
OPINION@KANSAN.COM
In 1999, the Freedom Writer's came full circle by publishing their journal entries in "The Freedom Writers Diary."
Using Anne Frank's diary as her model, Gruwell gives each student a blank journal to write in. They can write stories, lyrics or poems or draw pictures in it to explain how they understand and what they think about.
This form of creative expression helped the Freedom Writers see the importance of their own lives and the lives of others. It's sad Gruwell's students had to learn about the ignorance and destruction of the Nazis before they could see the ignorance and destruction they were doling out.
If more teachers put the effort that Gruwell did into their work, "at-risk" students might respond better to education and find a path leading away from violence. However, with the No Child Left Behind rules now hovering over teacher's heads, they have little to no time to give to students individually. As a result, students are filling further behind because they're receiving less personalized instruction to help them succeed.
Many of the students that Gruwell originally taught graduated high school and college and helped her create the Freedom Writers Foundation. The foundation focuses its efforts on helping teachers learn how they can reach at risk youth by bringing students and educators together in an environment that promotes acceptance and embraces diversity.
Soon she has the students reading "The Diary of Anne Frank" and comparing the violence going on in the book to the violence they see everyday.

Remember 34th anniversary of Roe vs. Wade
>> LETTER TO THE EDITOR
A baby's birth is a blessed event, celebrated by family and friends as they welcome the newborn into the world. Nine months earlier, the baby's DNA played a complex symphony as the miracle of life began. Roe v. Wade shattered this peaceful scene in 1973, tossing aside 36 state laws. Roe is an embarrassment to the legal profession and complicates medical ethics for doctors.
Feminists including Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony vigorously opposed abortion as a form of male domination in society. Americans embrace a culture of life that values every individual and our law should too.
The Hippocratic Oath, through which doctors promised to care for and help patients and were forbidden to perform abortions, was forever changed by seven lawyers. Perverting rights designed for former slaves, the Court said "liberty" equals abortion.
Steve Johnson Overland Park law student
If Roe is ever overturned, we can decide abortion democratically as intelligent women and men.

The Truman Presidential Museum and Library is relevant for several reasons. First, it's entertaining. One exhibit leads you through typical American scenes from 1945-1953 that encompass Truman's years in office. You see a mother playing with her children, a refrigerator full of classic American food and a TV playing old Westerns.
In the next room you are faced with a different reality. Europe after World War II. In this exhibit there are bare cupboards and black-and-white footage lining the wall depicting starvation and government brutality.
The exhibits in the Truman Museum reflect a president and a nation in a time of great international turmoil. Sound familiar? Reflecting on our country during other crises we can understand how the conflict affected our nation.
As students at the University of Kansas we hold a privileged position in the world. It is our duty to repay this position by understanding our history and working to create a more positive international environment.
As Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and Truman scholar David McCullough wrote: "History is a guide to navigation in perilous times. History is who we are and why we are the way we are." It helps to take a look back at how America got involved in past conflicts and how Americans were affected.
Then, like now, America is far removed from the harsh realities of international struggle. When Koffi Annan gave his final speech as United Nations secretary general at the museum late last year he praised Truman's foreign policy and called for American leadership in the "Truman tradition" to face global challenges.

Pelosi makes statement
BY ERICA WERNER ASSOCIATED PRESS
A NEW DIMENSION
J. Scott Applewhite/ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Sworn in just over two weeks ago as the first female speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi wasted no time showing who's boss.
House Democratic Leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., center, celebrates with fellow Democrats at an election-night rally in Washington in this Nov. 7, 2006, file photo. At left, chairman of the House Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Rep. Emanuel Rangel (D-III.), and from right, chairman of the Democratic Senate Campaign Committee Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), and Senate Democratic Leader Rep. Harry Reid (D-Nev.).
The California Democrat rammed six major bills through the House at breakneck speed, stomped out smoking privileges near the House floor, partially sidelined a powerful Democratic committee chairman and decided she liked traditionally Republican office space so much she claimed it for herself.
By Democra's timekeeping, she did it all in far under the 100 legislative hours she had allotted.
"We did what we promised the American people we would," Pelosi declared on Friday, pledging it was "just the beginning."
Pelosi's initial agenda, completed Thursday, included measures with wide popular support: increasing the minimum wage, broadening stem cell research, allowing government bargaining on Medicare drug prices, cutting student loan costs, putting in
place terrorism-fighting recommendations from the Sept. 11 commission and rolling back energy company tax breaks.
Each bill passed with bipartisan majorities and Pelosi triumphantly
gaveled down the votes, at one point banging the gavel so enthusiastically that it left a small dent in the podium.
Now Democrats will have to move on to thorier topics.
Manning avoids meltdown
>> SUPER BOWL XLI
BY EDDIE PELLS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
INDIANAPOLIS — A comeback, a drive, a legacy. And yes — finally — Peyton Manning gets his Super Bowl trip, too.
Football's most prolific quarterback put on a show for the ages Sunday, rallying the Indianapolis Colts from 18 points down and driving them 80 yards for the winning score in a wildly entertaining 38-34 victory over the New England Patriots.
Joseph Addat capped Manning's late drive with the winning score, a 3-yard run with 1 minute left to help the Colts (15-4) complete the rally and send coach Tony Dungy to his first Super Bowl — and a very special one.
In his nine years in the league, Manning has never played in a game like this AFC championship contest. He threw for 349 yards and one touchdown and brought his team back from a 21-3 deficit.
Dungy and the Colts will face the Chicago Bears and his good friend Lovie Smith in Miami in two weeks. Together they are the first
black coaches to make the Super Bowl in its 41 years.
After Indy's last touchdown, Manning was on the sideline, his head down -he couldn't bear to watch. New England's Tom Brady
— he of the three Super Bowl rings
— threw an interception to Marlin Jackson and the RCA Dome crowd went wild. One kneel down later and Manning ripped off his helmet to celebrate.
Not only was it tawni for Manning, the All-Pro, All Everything son of Archie, it was a riveting, back-and-forth showcase of two of the NFLs.
best teams, best quarterbacks, and yet another example of why football is America's favorite sport.
It was anything but by the-book, and that started becoming obvious when New England left guard Logan Mankins opened the scoring by pouncing on a fumbled hand-off between Brady and Laurence Maroney that squirted into the Indy end zone midway through the first quarter.
"Walking the Dream"
It got worse from there for Manning, but the game morphed from another Manning meltdown into something much more.

Texas Tech 69
Kansas 64
January 20, 2007
Anytime Kansas threatened to pull the game back, the team was unable to get the basket that would kill Texas Tech's momentum.
BASKEBALL (CONTINUED FROM 12A)
"We just weren't getting things we usually get, like fast breaks and transition points", sophomore guard Brandon Rush said.
With the clock ticking off the final minutes, the Jayhawks finally strung together a rally and tied the game. Self called his final timeout with 25 seconds remaining and the team down three.
He wanted to score a quick twopoint basket and then foul Texas Tech. The play called for freshman forward Darrrell Arthur to get the ball inside, or for Rush to take the pass and feed Arthur. Both were covered, so the inbounds pass went to freshman guard Sherron Collins.
"I tried to drive it at first," Collins said. "They cut off the drive, so I just made a step-back move and took the three."
"We didn't anticipate him shooting a three, but we weren't going to get a better look than that." Self said.
"I thought he had a lot of guts taking it." Robinson said.
Self agreed.
Collins missed the shot, but Rush and Arthur were waiting under the basket.
"It rolled down my hand," Rush said, adding that he was unable to
"I thought he was going to tip it in," Arthur said. "But then I went up and it just rolled out, and they got the long rebound."
control the tip.
"That pretty much summed up the game for us," Robinson said.
It was the first conference loss for the layhawks, who will likely fall from their No. 5 ranking when the new Associated Press Top 25 poll is released this afternoon.
"We definitely have to get a win" Robinson said.
The team will have the opportunity to redeem itself on the road Wednesday when it heats to Waco, Texas, to face Baylor. Baylor comes into the game with an 11-7 record after losing to Oklahoma on Saturday.
It will be an issue of getting the offense to keep up with the defense, which carried the team Saturday. Self was asked after the game if he was baffled by sophomore forward Julian Wright's shot selection. He had launched a three-pointer early in the game. Self said it wasn't just about Wright.
"I thought our whole team offensively was baffling," he said.

Arthur, Collins start to take the reins
BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS
LUBBOCK, Texas — Forward Darrell Arthur and guard Sherron Collins may not have starting spots, but the two freshmen have become regular contributors to the team in their first seasons at the University of Kansas.
Collinss had a huge night against Missouri, scoring 23 points to lead the team. He and Arthur combined to score 14 of the game's final 16 points.
"When he was recruiting us, Coach told us we were going to be a big part of the team," Arthur said.
More importantly, with the game on the line coach Bill Self left the two freshmen in for what would have been the game-tying shot. Arthur and Collins were both integral parts of the play, and Collins ended up taking the shot.
On a team with no seniors, that opportunity came sooner rather than later. Against Texas Tech, Collins played for 28 minutes and Arthur got 27, more playing time than three of the starters.
The two came to Kansas as high school McDonald's All-Americans but are having to adjust to playing at the college level. Collins said that he had to work to block out the crowd on the road.
"it's a lot tougher," he said. "Today it was like we were at an NBA game or something. They can get pretty loud. You've just got to have blinders
on and play your game.'
As the two continue to mature, they have been rewarded with more time on the court. Self said that he had been pleased with their development, but that they still need to work to sustain that for a full season to become elite players.
"I'm just trying to help my team as much as I can," Collins said. "Whatever I can do to help."
Jayhawks wait out crazed fans
fans
Texas Tech fans stormed the court immediately after the victory without waiting for players to clear out. The Jayhawks had to wait on the bench for a group of security guards to escort them out.
"I didn't want to be on ESPN tonight for the wrong reasons," Russell Robinson said.
Brandon Rush added that he was surprised it even happened.
"It's January. It is still early," he said.
The Bob Knight Show
An announced crowd of 11,400 was thinner than usual because of snow and ice in the area. As always, Tech coach Bob Knight had his own take on this.
"It's only snow. You can drive through it." Knight told reporters after the game. "Guys tell me, 'Now coach, we're going to go hunting Saturday and it's going to be cold.' I told them, 'Cold my ass, You don't

The bad weather didn't leave the student section vacant however. The Daily Toreader, the Texas Tech school newspaper, reported that Saturday's student attendance was the largest since Knight began coaching.
Guards in foul trouble
Sophomore guard Mario Chalmers fouled out of the game with one minute to play and was replaced by Sherron Collins. Junior guard Russell Robinson also battled foul trouble for most of the game.
With 9:43 to play, Robinson committed his fourth foul. He said the key was to remind the referees of the situation he was in.

Texas A&M's victory against Oklahoma State Saturday night set the stage for a big game when the two meet in Lawrence. ESPN will televise the Feb. 3 game as part of its College Gameday series, and the winner will be the frontrunner for the Big 12 Conference regular season championship.

the court. Jackson scored 15 points for the Red Raiders in their upset of the Jayhawks.
> Easy there. Texas Tech fans.
I know you're excited about dethroning the top-ranked team in the Big 12 Conference, but Saturday's game was no reason to rush the court. It wasn't a historic victory — the Jayhawks were defeated in Lubbock two years ago. It wasn't a particularly exciting victory — the Red Raiders led by a sizable margin for most of the second half. And it wasn't a significant victory — this is January, after all. If you want to be treated like one of the conference's elite teams, act like one and stay in the stands.
> Texas Tech coach Bob Knight has one of the most fun teams in America to watch. The motion offense
is a ballet of players moving around the court to create openings for themselves and their teammates. It's a demanding system, but Knight's players run it flawlessly and rarely make mistakes.
> Write it down: Julian Wright will be out of his slump by mid-February. He will be fine as soon as he tightens up his shot selection and gets some "confidence baskets": easy layups and free throws that will help re-establish his shooting range. Jayhawk fans have a history of shouting that the sky is falling, like when Brandon Rush went through a slump in December, but it's just something that happens to young players.
> Knight sometimes sends his son Pat, an assistant coach, to answer questions from reporters after games, but Saturday he made an appearance in the media room. He joked about how every time he wins a game, he builds on his record for most games won in a career by a coach. "I couldn't believe all those fans coming on the floor until I realized that we broke the record again," he said. He also offered this line when asked whether the team could build on the momentum it gained today. "You'd like to do that, but you're not dealing with robots that you press buttons. You're dealing with kids."

ENTERTAINMENT Arm fracture knocks Barker off+44's European tour
LOS ANGELES — Drummer Travis Barker is leaving a European tour with his new band +44 because of an unhealed fractured arm.
Barker, 31, will return to Los Angeles to be treated. The band, fronted by former Blink-182 singer and bassist Mark Hoppus, has not announced a replacement drummer.
The former Blink-182 drummer had been on tour despite a fractured right arm he suffered Sept. 9 while filming a video, according to Interscope Records.
A message left at Interscope Records was not immediately returned Sunday.
Barker starred in the MTV reality series "Meet the Barkers" with former Miss USA Shanna Moakler, to whom he was married at the time. The show documented the former couple's lavish wedding and lifestyle.
'Titanic' almost shipwrecked actor DiCaprio's career
NEW YORK — Leonardo Di-Caprio wanted to give up acting for a time after the hit movie "Titanic."
DiCaprio was back to being considered "another piece of cute meat" after the 1997 film's spectacular box office success, an image he had wanted to get away from after his days on the cover of teen magazines, he told Newsweek for editions on newsstands Monday.
"It was pretty dishearring to be objectified like that. I wanted to stop acting for a little bit," he said.
at the magazine's Oscar panel discussion with other actors. "It changed my life in a lot of ways, but at the same time, I can't say that it didn't give me opportunities. It made me, for the first time, in control of my career."
After many successful movies and critical acclaim, DiCaprio said he loves acting.
"There's no other art form in the world that affects me more. There's nothing that I walk away from feeling transformed by the way I do with cinema," he said.
DiCaprio starred in a cast featuring Jack Nicholson, Matt Damon and others in "The Departed" which earned Martin Scorsese a Golden Globe for best director.

Kansas wins one, loses two
BY RUSTIN DODD
The Kansas women's tennis team concluded a difficult opening weekend by defeating Drake 4-1 at the First Serve Tennis Center Sunday night.
The team suffered a season-opening loss to Tulsa, 6-1, on Saturday, followed by a 4-3 loss to Tulsa Sunday. It was capped off by an injury to sophomore Ksenia Bukina that caused her to retire during her match against Indiana and default her single matches on Sunday.
"It's tough," coach Amy Hall Holt said. "I credit the girls for working through it, but every time we step out on the court, we have to be prepared."
The team was helped on the court by its No. 1 doubles duo, juniors Elizaveta Avdeveva and Edina Horvath. They finished a perfect opening weekend with an 8-victory against Drake. They also notched victories against Indiana and Julaa.
"Today we came with more energy, supported each other, and played well." Avdeevsa said.
Avedeva also faired well on the singles side. The junior used a punishing baseline attack to win two
matches at No. 1 singles on Sunday.
After a straight-sets victory against Tulsa, Adeeva fought back against Veronika Lesova of Drake to win 4-6, 6-1, 6-3, and clinch the Jayhawks first dual victory of the season.
"I thought, I have to win, I have to win." Avdeevae said. "I don't know about the other courts, so I had to stay focused and win."
Hall-Holt was pleased with the ability of her reigning team MVP to comeback against Lesova.
"Eliza has always been a tough competitor; with her work ethic and drive," she said. "I am very pleased with her performance."
The victory of the day belonged to Kunigunda Dorn. The newcomer notched her first career dual victory on Sunday against Kindys Grimes of Tulsa, 3-6, 6-4, 6-0.
"I'm pleased with the way she grinded," Hall-Holt said, "She proved herself today."
Dorn followed that up with a straight-sets victory against Drake.

Career highs can't hold off Cyclones
BY CASE KEEFER
WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
Coach Bonnie Henrickson described senior forward Shaquina Mosley's performance during
F. D. MIDGETT
Mosley
Conference game, 75-48.
"We do as good of a job as anybody guarding the three, but they found our weakness in the post and took advantage," Henrickson said. "That's what good teams do."
The Jayhawks forced the Cyclones leader, guard Lyndssey Medders, to commit more turnovers than assists, but her Cyclones teammates
stepped up to outpace the lajhawys in scoring. Forward Toccara Ross had 16 points and a career high 15 rebounds on the bench. Forward Nicky Weiben added 17 points.
"The guards are doing a great job defending," said Kansas freshman forward Porscha Weddington. "The posts just really didn't step it up."
After setting season highs in rebounds and assists earlier in the week, Mosley added a pair of career highs in points, with 19, and minutes, with 36, against Iowa State.
Mosley also had one of her best nights on defense. She had three steals, making her a main reason for the lack of production from Medders. Despite her individual efforts and Henrickson's praise, Mosley said she wasn't satisfied.
"it's a loss so I don't consider this a great game?" Mosley said.
Kelly Kohn's offensive woes continued. The freshman guard, who
entered the game as the teams' leading scorer with 11.2 points per game, was only 1-for-9 from the field with three points.
"Her focus hasn't been good, her concentration hasn't been good," Henrickson said. "She has not been herself and is not playing like she's capable of."
With a minute left in the first half, Iowa State went on a 10-2 run that translated into a 19-point lead. The Jayhawks then scored on its final three possessions of the half. With 30 seconds remaining, Weddington went up strong with an offensive rebound and was fouled. She made both shots from the free throw line to cut the lead down to 39-25. The Cyclones raced down the court and Ross made an easy layup. Kansas got the in-bounds pass in quickly and Mosley beat the buzzer with a near half-court shot to make the score 41-28 at halftime.
Unfortunately for the bayhawks, the impressive end to the half did not continue when they returned to the floor. For most of the second half, Kansas trailed by more than 20 and shot only 22 percent.
One positive to come out of the second half were the minutes logged by freshman center Rebecca Feickert. After receiving little playing time throughout the season, she played 12 minutes against the Cyclones, grabbing two rebounds and hitting a three-point shot in the process.
"If she gets her feet set she can make a shot," Henrickson said. "She's been getting more reps with the first group in practice."

Mosley takes on new roles
BY ASHER FUSCO
The University Daily Kansan
Kansas' number one priority in Saturday night's game against Iowa State was to control star senior Lyndsey Medders. Shaquina Mosley took the job but her efforts along with those of her fellow teammates were not enough for a victory. The team lost its fifth Big 12 Conference game 75-48.
Kansas only ran with Iowa State for the first five minutes of the game before matters got out of hand. The Cyclones went on a 12-0 run in the first half and were able to put together short spurs of offense whenever the lajwahys threatened.
On a night full of sloppy and inconsistent play, Mosey's performance was the sole contributing aspect of the game. The senior made her mark with four three-pointers, including a half-court heave that barely beat the halftime buzzer.
In a Kansas offense that looked disjointed, Mosley maintained focus and scored a career-high 19 points.
Despite her offensive performance, some of Mosley's quieter contributions drew the most praise.
"shaq was aggressive and confident," said coach Bonnie Hendricks. "She is starting to use her athleticism to become a better player."
Mosley has not always enjoyed this kind of success during her career as a lajawk. Arriving as a highly scouted transfer from Central Arizona College last season, she struggled to mesh with Henrickson's coaching style and sat on the bench for much of the first half of this season.
For most of her 36 minutes on the court, Mosley guarded Medders. She grabbed three steals and held Medders, a preseason All-American, to a quiet 12 points.
Mosley has posted double-digit scoring totals in six of the team's last eight games. "I've played well in the last few games," Mosley said. "But I know I can always play better."

Offense struggles as Kansas loses its first Big 12 game
BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS
LUBBOCK, Texas — After sitting in their hotel rooms for two days waiting out an ice storm, the Jayhawks were eager to play some basketball Saturday. Perhaps a little too eager.
Texas Tech took advantage of early turnovers and Kansas struggled to get open shots as the Jayhawks lost 69-64.
"I thought offensively we showed
no patience, especially in the first half' coach kill Self. said
During that time the Jayhawk offense made just 12 of 30 shots, including a handful of ill-advised shots that came with plenty of time remaining on the shot clock.
Self noted that junior center Sasha Kaun touched the ball only three times in the first half. The Jayhawks fixed that problem in the second half, scoring their points exclusively under the basket for the
first 11 minutes.
"An emphasis at halftime was to get the ball inside," junior guard Russell Robinson said. "That was our advantage in the game, and that's what we did in the second half."
The Red Raiders countered with a barrage of three-pointers from an unlikely source — forward Darryl Dora. The 6-foot-9 senior launched eight of them, landing three. The backup found himself in the spotlight two years ago when he made
the game-winning shot to defeat Kansas in double overtime.
"Maybe the moon was right," Texas Tech coach Bob Knight said, "if I knew, I wouldn't be talking to you people."
In Knight's motion offense, any player can emerge as the star on a given night. Teammates set picks for each other and try to create open shots.

Jayhawks break records at home
》 TRACK AND FIELD
BY TAYLOR BERN
Three women broke facility records Saturday at the Jayhawk Invitational, Kansas' home meet.
Junior Kate Sultanova and freshman Brittany Parker set new Anschutz Pavilion records with their vaults. Sultanova captured first place at 13.03.50, edging out Parker, whose best attempt put her at 13.01.50.
Sophomore Ashley Brown also set a facility record with her preliminary time of 8.48 in the 60-meter hurdles. The time was just shy of the NCAA provisional cut-off, which serves as a qualifier to the NCAA indoor meet.
"I just missed provisionally qualifying for nationals, and I set a new record here, so that was pretty sweet," Brown said. "I got out a little too hard in my final and goofed up part of it, but I'm just going to be happy today with my 8.48."
Freshman pole vaulter Jordan Scott won for the men, and cleared a height of 17-00.75, which met the NCAA provisional requirements.
Another bonus of the home meet was it's smaller size and that it gave athletes the opportunity to compete in events that they rarely race in because there was less competition. Junior Crystal Manning enjoyed her time in the 60-meter dash, an event she never raced in before Saturday
Kansas took first place in 16 events and provisionally qualified three pole vaulters.
Manning won the 60 in 7.74 and finished third in the 200.
Men's junior distance runners Colby Wissel and Paul Hefferon claimed victories in the 1-mile and 3,000, respectively. Wissel took the 3000 with a time of 8.20,22, while Hefferon took

RIVALRY
Game moves to Arrowhead
BY NATHAN GILL AND BRIAN
LEWIS-JONES
The Kansas City Chiefs announced yesterday that the next two Kansas-Mizzou rivalry games would be played at Arrowhead Stadium.
Many Lawrencians are at least disappointed about the move; local businesses are expressing concern over losing business. Willie Wilkerson, manager of Jayhawk Spirit, was worried that the games' new location would hurt his business
selling official Jayhawk merchandise.
"It saddened me a lot," Wilkerson said. "I think the University is getting a little greedy."
Wilkerson said home games brought customers, some from other states, and agreed that the move is bad for Lawrence's business community.

Businesses affected by higher wage
Senate considers $2.10 pay increase
The minimum wage increase passing through Congress will affect Lawrence businesses to varying degrees. For some, it may cut into profits, but for others it may have little effect.
BY MATT ERICKSON
The House passed a bill earlier this month that would raise the federal minimum wage to $7.25 an hour from the current minimum wage of $5.15, cnn.com reported. The wage would increase in smaller increments until reaching $7.25 in about two years.
The Senate is considering the bill this week.
A Washington Post article from earlier this month said that 16 percent of workers in Kansas would be affected by such an increase, compared to about 9 percent of workers nationwide.
Todd Cohen, interim director of University Relations, said the University's minimum wage for student employees is $7 an hour. It was raised before last semester, the third increase since 2002. Cohen said the University's student minimum wage will probably surpass $7.25 by the time the federal wage reaches that level.
Rod Ernst, owner of Ernst & Son Hardware at 826 Massachusetts St., said that a raise of the minimum wage to 7.25 would make it more difficult for him to compete against larger hardware retailers. The raise of the minimum wage would make it more difficult for him to cut jobs, increase product volume or raise prices than it would be for larger stores.
"In my business, when you you're dealing with these box stores, I can't compete with them head-on as it is." Ernst said.
Ernst said he pays all of his employees more than the current minimum wage, but he said many of them make less than $7 per hour. He said a wage increase would definitely cut into his profits.
"We're working on a pretty short margin already with what the rent prices are," Ernst said. "Something's going to have to be made up somewhere."

Moore proposes bill to cut student loan interest
BY TYLER HARBERT
Life would be easier for Caitlin Gibbs if she didn't need a loan to pay her tuition.
Like many other students, the Dodge City sophomore has borrowed money from the federal government every semester since she began at the University of Kansas in 2005.
"I wouldn't borrow unless I had to," she said.
Because the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill last week that would slice interest rates on government loans in half, her plight may become a little less burdensome.
U. S. Rep. Dennis Moore (D-Kansas) supported the bill which easily slid through the Democrat-

Information from Moore's Website
each year until 2011 when the rate will hit 3.4 percent, or half of the current 6.8 percent.
A representative for Moore said the bill, called the College Student Relief Act of 2007, must still be passed through the Senate and
signed by the president before it can be enacted. There is no set time for the bill to reach the Senate.
"I just wouldn't have the stress of figuring out how I'm going to pay for next semester," Gibbs said.
Stephanie Covington, associate director of the Office of Student Financial Aid, said if the bill is finalized it could impact more than 6,000 students.
She usually works 16 hours a week in the Watson Library for some extra money and said she hopes the bill will aid her during her final two years of school.
Her records show that 6,736 undergraduates borrowed federal subsidized loans during the 2005-06 school year, the most recent year
Gibbs estimated she borrowed $1,500 in federal loans and used some grant money to pay for her tuition and fees this semester.

"We're just happy there's some relief for students," Covington said. "We support anything that helps make college more affordable for students."
"It will affect quite a few of our graduates" she said.
Covington said more students may see this as an option, but it's difficult to gauge whether or not her office will see a significant change in the amount of borrowers.

City to consider registry
BY MATT ERICKSON
Domestic same-sex couples and unmarried, domestic heterosexual couples in Lawrence may soon be able to document their relationships with the city.
The city commission received a report on the creation of a domestic-partner registry at its Jan. 9 meeting and directed the city staff to work out the details.
The registry would allow same-sex or opposite-sex couples who live together in long-term relationships and are economically connected to register their relationships with the city, according to a memo from the city's legal services department.
Dennis "Boog" Highberger, city commissioner, said the registry could help employees in these relationships claim benefits, like health insurance, for their partners.
"It would be a place for people who are not married and have an ongoing relationship to register it," Highberger said. "There are a lot of companies who provide partner benefits as long as there's evidence that a partner exists."
However, the proposed ordinance would not require the city or any business to provide any benefits
to domestic partners, Mike Rundt, commissioner who introduced the bill, said, it would only provide documentation for employees of companies that do offer those benefits.
Jonathan Pryor, Columbus senior and director of KU Queers & Allies, said the registry would give local same-sex couples an opportunity they'd never had before.
"I think the most intangible benefit will be the symbol the registry would represent to individuals." Pryor said. "It would provide a way for people to show their commitment to their partners that they have never been able to do legally."
Rundle said the adoption of a domestic-partner registry would serve as a statement for Lawrence.
"I think the people in the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community view this as an affirmation that Lawrence truly does take a stand against discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and for equal rights," Rundle said.
Rundle and Highberger said they had received e-mails from citizens opposing a domestic-partner registry, saying that citizens in Kansas had voiced their disapproval of legal same-sex unions when they passed
the 2005 constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage.
Kathy Egbert, Lawrence resident,
e mailed Rundle to ask him not to
support the registry.
"Because Kansans who voted upheld the idea that a marriage is only between a man and woman, I believe to enact laws or ordinances that belittle or eat away at that legislation are inappropriate." Egbert said.
However, Highberger said he thought most Lawrence residents would support the measure, saying that the marriage amendment was unpopular in Lawrence.
Highberger and Rundle both said they thought a majority of the commission would support the idea of a domestic-partner registry once an ordinance is drawn up.
Mike Amys, mayor, said that the city staff would bring the ordinance before the state attorney general once it is drafted to make sure it won't violate the 2005 marriage amendment passed in Kansas.

Senator criticizes Iraq, New Orleans funding
BY BECKY BOHRER ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW ORLEANS — U.S. Sen. Jim Webb, D-Va., set to deliver the Democratic rebuffal to Tuesday's State of the Union address, suggested Monday that the United States is spending too much on reconstruction in Iraq while ignoring the rebuilding of New Orleans.
Webb said his "gut instinct" tells him not to support more funding for Iraq without a full accounting of
the money already spent there.
"I were putting all this money into Iraq and ignoring New Orleans, then were doing something wrong," he told reporters during a teleconference.
But. Webb, a freshman senator, stopped short of calling for money earmarked for Iraq to be diverted to New Orleans, which, he said, has languished in the nearly 17 months since Hurricane Katrina.
Adam Sharp, a spokesman for Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., said that the federal government has
a role to play in meeting future funding needs but that he didn't know how great that role would be. Congress already has allocated more than $100 billion to rebuild the Gulf Coast, Sharp said, and those funds must be distributed efficiently and accounted for.
Webb said he believes the Bush administration mishandled the city's recovery and said the city's struggles have "kind of fallen off the national radar screen over the last year."

Long said the fee turned out fewer students than expected in the fall.

The new KU Fit schedule is more concise in order to get people in and out of the classes more convenient, and is more regular from day to day. Katie Mekler, Shawnee senior and KU Fit instructor, said students were complaining that the schedule was confusing since it was completely different every day of the week, with different classes and times. In addition to new classes, more classes will be offered more than once a week to give students a regular routine.
"What I'm hoping for this spring is to add more diversity to the schedule at times more applicable to faculty staff, as well as a variety of classes to find a niche for interests that people might have." Long said.
To introduce the new classes and learn of other opportunities, students can attend Rec Fest tonight from 5:30 to 8 p.m. at the Student Recreation and Fitness Center. Students can participate in continuous 20 minute teaser sessions of the new fit classes that include cardiovascular and strength training. There will also be drawings for prizes, free fit passes and personal trainers. Long said Rec Fest is a way that students can try out the new classes and decide what

OUR VIEW
Bush speech should outline Iraq goals
Tonight's State of the Union address will be the sixth of the Bush presidency, a two-term tumult that has seen drastic changes in many aspects of American life. When Bush entered office, we had no Patriot Act, no war on terror, and no hint of the other vestigial evidence of the Bush era that will be superjacent to American culture for years after he leaves office.
So what should we expect from Bush in tonight's address, and what should we want to hear? The war in Iraq is clearly the prevailing media issue and political talking point, and the speech should be apportioned accordingly. We know enough of Bush to not hold our collective breath for an hourlong meculpa, but it is not unreasonable to expect a more conciliatory tone from the President, along with continued acknowledgement of error that began in his recent address. The "stay the course" mentality that helped Bush win reelection is no longer viable, as illuminated by recent opinion polls, and the White House speechwriters will attempt to shift accountability to the fledgling Iraqi government.
In the war portion of the speech, students should want more than tired platitudes from Bush. We have seen the rationale for the war shift from "imminent threat" to "spreading liberty," and our patience with the phrase-of-the-month reasoning has

worn thin. Bush needs to clearly articulate both the desired goal and the strategy for reaching that goal; all the troop surges in the world are meaningless if the mission is not defined.
McKay Stangler for the editorial board
Expect Bush to devote a surprising amount of text to domestic issues, and only partially to distract from the Iraq imbroglio. Bush is reaching the point in his administration when he starts thinking about his legacy, and a series of solid domestic accomplishments could help him as much as it helped his predecessor. A few ideas are already known, including the proposed tax deduction for workers who purchase health insurance or use employer-supported plans. If Bush can put a dent in the disturbingly high number of Americans without health insurance, history will remember him more kindly.

JANUARY AUGUST DAMN GLOBAL WARMING GR5
Global warming needs attention
COMMENTARY
While you were kicking it in your parents' basement, oozing charm for bigger tips at Applebee's, or "studying" the Lawrence bar scene in preparation for that pesky MCAT this spring, the media were not on winter break. They were steadfastly reporting about single most important conflict in the mind of the American public: the Rosie O'Donnell/Donald Trump feud. This crash of a titanic ego into an iceberg of hair (which also happened to have a titanic ego, albeit underwater) drew Americans to their televisions like teenage boys to a movie featuring Kate Winslet's breasts. And just like the movie Titanic, this clash of titans will probably last a Very, Long, Time.
But if you are like me, and afford celebrities religious devotion only on major holidays, there was another news item to divert us from this public display of self-importance.

These alarming statistics have been attributed to El Nino (Spanish for "little boy who makes a warm spot in the Pacific Ocean") and global warming. El Nino is a natural occurrence, as those of you who have been in the shallow end of a public swimming pool
As you stood in the green grass in early January, wearing nothing but sandals and a smile, you may have heard that 2006 was the warmest year on record in the United States. Worldwide, 2006 was the sixth warmest year on record.
Global warming, however, has been scientifically linked to emission of greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere in common industrial processes. The combustion of dead prehistoric life in the form of oil, gas and coal releases heat-trapping carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
The guilty parties involved include both energy producers (especially the petroleum industry) and energy consumers (you and me). Recently, two major contributors to global warming have horribly increased their emissions. Carbon dioxide from the mouths of Rosie O'Donnell and Donald Trump has turned the New York's winter climate from dreary to tropical.
The consensus among scientists not employed by the Bush administration is that humans and their industrial prowess have played some role in climate change. Anyone who has turned on his or her television, opened on a newspaper or walked within a 2,000-mile radius of Al Gore has heard all of the tired facts
and doomday scenarios associated with global warming. No problem, you say. Surely we can defeat the scorching summers with the miracle of air conditioning. And there is something to be said for a Winter Break that feels like Spring Break. So here are a couple of headlines you may have missed.
1. Exxon Cuts Ties to Global Warming Skeptics
Claiming "the issue has evolved," the oil behemoth Exxon Mobil has stopped funding an anti-global warming think tank. This is a promising shift from earth is flat skepticism to "the earth is round, now let's deal with it."
2. Polar Bears are Drowning
As the polar ice caps melt, bears are forced to swim deadly distances. This is bad news if you are a polar bear or a fan of these cuddly creatures. This is good if you realize that while listing polar bears as threatened species, the Bush administration's department of the interior first acknowledged human influence on climate change.
Apart from the devastating environmental impact of global warming, consider what would have happened if we had baked the planet a century earlier. No icebergs. No tragic shipwreck. No Kate Winslet and Leo DiCaprio romance. No cinema classic.

Minimum-wage raise a weak way to help poor
Well, the Democrats have been in Congress for less than a month now, and they are already up to their well-intended but misguided policy-making. Their recently acquired majority was sworn in on January 4, and less than a week later the House had passed its bill concerning an increase in minimum wage. This policy is well-intended because it is good to give more money to the poorest workers in society. But it's misguided because, not only will it fail to achieve its goal of giving money to poor people, but it will distract from better method of attaining that goal.
One consequence of an involuntary increase in wage is the plight of the employers. When forced to
pay employees more, the bossman, to keep the business going, would have to either lay off employees and make remaining ones work fewer or harder hours, reduce spending on employee benefits or take up illegal practices such as smuggling or racketeering.
Another disadvantage is that it keeps people from thinking about and taking advantage of better programs. My personal favorite anti-poverty government program (and who doesn't have one?) is the magnificent yet underhyped Earned Income Tax Credit.

included. It gives the lowest income taxpayers breaks in their taxes or refunds, instead of present policy of taking more of their money and then somehow finding a way to give it back to them via poorly managed social welfare programs.
What makes ETTC better than increasing minimum wage is that it cuts out the ridiculous and fum
bling middleman, government, and is more focused on helping the nation's poor. Only about 25 percent of people working for minimum wage are at or near the poverty line. Many are teenagers or college kids with night and weekend jobs. But 100 percent of recipients of a tax credit made for the poor are poor.
Unfortunately the IRS says that nearly one quarter of those eligible for EITC do not receive their credit because they don't know about it or don't think that they can receive it, resulting in billions of dollars left unclaimed every year. The good news is that there are several programs nationwide whose specific purpose is to help those who deserve this credit to receive it.
All Milton Friedman mumbo-jumbo aside, if the Democrats and labor unions are really working for low-income workers, as they claim, then they should stop infringing on the rights of employers for the purpose of helping teenagers purchase Papa Roach tickets, and should instead work on and with policies that directly aid these workers, like EITC. Because if it's a program that Reagan thought was worth half a hoot, then by George, there has got to be something to it.

This study showed that relationship satisfaction strongly correlates with the level of self-disclosure of the individuals in the relationship. Interviewed couples that reported a higher level of self-disclosure during their first semi-annual interview were more likely to still be together by their second interview. Also, this study showed that a higher level of self-disclosure closely correlated with the length of a relationship.

Professor wins Japanese award
王清平
獲得獎品
Andrew T. Tsubaki, professor emeritus of theatre and film at the University of Kansas receives the Order of the Sacred Treason "(Zuzhu Shojishou)" Friday night. The award was granted by the Emperor of Japan, and was given by the Consulate General of Japan, Ka'i Shinoda. Tsubaki was recognized not only for his teaching, but for serving as the Executive Director of the Greater Kansas City Japan Festival since 1997.
BY BETHANY BUNCH
Andrew Tsubaki, professor emeritus of theatre and film at the University of Kansas, received an award on behalf of the emperor of Japan Friday.
Tsubaki received the Order of the Sacred Treasure, recognizing his lifetime devotion to spreading Japanese culture through education. The award was affixed with the great seal from the imperial power of lapan.
Kenji Shinoda, consultate general of Japan, presented Tsukibai with a medal and a large, framed award at a ceremony at the Marriott Country Club Plaza Hotel in Kansas City, Mo.
Tsubaki taught and directed the theater productions at the University from 1968 to 2000. He said he enjoyed directing because it allowed him to lead a group of people to "create his image."
"After I got to KU in 1968, I started directing and I found joy in being a director," he said.
Ron Willis, retired department chair of theatre and film and film director, worked with Tsubaki until retiring.
"Talking about Andrew is a pleasure," Willis said. "He is such a pleasant man and extremely kind and gentle. He is an outstanding contributor to this country's awareness
of Japanese culture in general and more specifically, theatre"
Tsubaki retired in 2000 but continues to teach martial arts classes. Shinoda said Tsubaki's lectures are in demand from Japan to Italy and coast-to-coast because he provides new insight into Japanese cultures.
Tsubaki has served as head instructor of the Kansas Ki Society, an organization that provides martial
arts training, and as the Executive Director of the Greater Kansas City Japan Festival since 1997. Tsubaki coordinates so much of the Japan Festival that he said he himself is the festival. He is also a member of the Lawrence Sister Cities Advisory Board.
Of 4,028 candidates, the Order of the Sacred Treasure was awarded to only three Japanese natives this
year. The other two recipients live in Thailand and Australia. The last time the award was given in the Kansas City area was 30 years ago.

disappointed to see a game of such caliber taken off Lawrence's roster.
"A home game is a significant event to the community." Squier said. "Restaurants, bars, clothing stores - merchants of all types."
Lew Perkins, athletics director at the University of Kansas, said the Athletics Department is trying to be sensitive to the local merchants' concerns. Another home game is scheduled to replace the Missouri match and make up for the lost revenue from the rivalry game.
Nancy Longhurst, general manager of The Eldridge, a historic Lawrence hotel, said KU games attracted a flood of business and that reservations filled up soon after game schedules were announced.
"We love KU football," Longhurst
said. "We prefer they stay here in town, but we are very supportive of the Athletics Department."
However, both universities will benefit from the move.
Each team is guaranteed $1 million for each game, similar to what the University makes at an average home game. Perkins said. In the 2007 season, Kansas will be the home team against Missouri during Thanksgiving Day weekend. Missouri will play host in 2008.
Perkins said the game at Arrowhead would be included in Jayhawk football season ticket packages. Perkins said stand-alone tickets would cost about $50 to $60, although the 70,000 Chiefs season ticket holders would have priority in purchasing tickets.
Not everyone felt the change was bad. Heidi Johnson, Overland Park junior, was positive about the move.
"I think it would be good because youd get fans from both schools," Johnson said. Johnson said she would definitely attend a KU football game in Kansas City, Mo.
"It's only half an hour," Johnson said.
Carl Peterson, the president of the Chiefs, said the late Lamar Hunt, founder of the Chiefs wanted "the oldest rivalry west of the Mississippi" played at Arrowhead.
"I think it'll be something tremendously special for Kansas City," Peterson said.
Some businesses could benefit from the move.
Mike Hawk, who works with
sound equipment for the Jackpot Salon, said some bars equipped with television sets could see more customers on game night.
"You don't have to compete with the game in town." Hawk said.
Hawk also said that if the lajahwens won games at Arrowhead, students couldn't triumphantly dislodge goal-posts from Memorial Stadium and parade about town, an activity that brings many celebrities to area bars.

embodied his message of social responsibility in one question. "How brave are you?"
Those attending the celebration were challenged to remember the sacrifices made by people such as King, Kimbrough urged everyone to be aware of the issues society faces today and be strong enough to "fight the fight."
After a standing ovation, Barbara Ballard, associate director of the Dole Institute of Politics, continued to spur on the assembly. Ballard reminded the young people attending the celebration that King and his message would be lost without them remembering, and following their own mission in life.
"We want students to know that they are now part of the movement to keep his legacy alive." Ballard said.
Students in the assembly sat in somber reflection as each speaker discussed the importance of being individuals and working towards a common goal.
"It's important for us because he thought we should all join together as a group," Nicole Robinson, Junction City freshman, said.
Near the closing of last night's celebration, Marlesa Roney, vice provost for student success, summarized the impact King had on America's history. Using ideas emphasized by Kimbrough, Roney stressed the importance of helping shape the nation for the success and happiness of all. "Take a position on a topic. Be brave. Be a nonconformist."
Rooney's message was reinforced by one of the many inspirational excerpts of King's speeches mentioned during the celebration.
"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."

ENTERTAINMENT Nightclub to take hiatus until new home found
NEW YORK — The Copacabana, the famed nightclub that entertained the smart set with a young Frank Sinatra in the '40s and was the inspiration for Barry Manilow's signature song in the '70s, is looking for a new home again.

Athletes' grades better than par last semester
BY KYLE CARTER
The only time Chelsey Pryor ever had to take an exam proctored on the road, she took two in the same weekend after competing in a golf tournament.
Pryor, Washington, Penn., senior, is one of 236 student-athletes who made the honor role last semester, and 37 student-athletes who earned a 4.0 grade point average, a record for the University.
Pryor finished her 36th hole of the day at the tournament in Manhattan soaked and exhausted. She then took a biology test, administered by her academic advisor, Glenn Quick, in the hotel conference room. The next day she took

Quick, an assistant athletics director who oversees academic and career counseling for student athletes, said it's ultimately up to the students to make the commitment to be successful academically.

At the beginning of each semester, student-athletes meet with a counselor to assess their tutoring needs and their progress toward graduation. Tutors must have at least a 3.5 GPA in the subject they're hired to help with and previous tutoring experience.
Buskirk said the tutors go through training to learn how to present material effectively and aid the student-athletes without doing the work for them.
Pryor said she usually met with a tutor twice a week for an hour and a half each time.
"My biology tutor saved my life," she said. "He taught it in a way I could understand."
Pryor will graduate this spring as a three-time Academic All-American. She said the help given to her by tutors and advisers in the athletics department inspired her to pursue a career in athletic administration.
"I'll never be able to repay them for what they've done," she said. "No my way to do that is to try to help other athletes as much as they've helped me."

Lawmakers introduced a bill Jan. 16 to the Senate Judiciary Committee that would create a separate, harsher felony punishment for injuring or killing a pregnant woman.
Currently, murdering a pregnant woman in the state of Kansas would result in normal murder charges.

"We need to make it very clear that the state of Kansas is not going to tolerate crimes against a woman that wants that baby, that child," Loganbill said.
In a conference call, Thursday, Loganbill emphasized that the bill is meant to protect women and reduce domestic violence.
"I believe it answers the problem we have with domestic violence against women, women who are beaten and murdered because they happen to be pregnant," Loganbill said. "If you are going after a woman that you know is pregnant you ought to do harder time and longer time."
While lawmakers focus on domestic violence, students' opinions of the bill were heavily influenced by thoughts on abortion.

many believe he has actively helped push the state GOP to the right.
"Senator Brownback has got to reach out to traditional Republicans, and he doesn't seem too eager to do that," Ryan Wright, executive director of the moderate Kansas Traditional Republican Majority, said Monday. "That leaves their votes up for grabs."
Brownback kicked off his GOP presidential campaign Saturday, entering a field that could include as many as 10 contenders, including Arizona Sen. John McCain, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. While McCain, Giuliani and Romney all are better known nationally, Brownback enjoys solid support among conservative Christians.
In his announcement, Brownback declared, "I am a conservative and I'm proud of being a conservative". He spoke about promoting a "culture of life" and preserving marriage as a union of a man and a woman.
But his speech also included broader themes, including a call for the United States to fight for the downtrodden. He also said the nation is too divided and, "We need reconciliation."
After his remarks, Brownback expressed confidence that his positions reflect most Republican's views, despite 2016 elections that gave Democrats control of Congress. He said most Americans are "center-right" in their politics.
"This last election was about Iraq and corruption," he said. "It isn't about basic directions as far as the philosophy of the country."
House Speaker Melvin Neufeld, a fellow conservative, said Brownback has moved toward the center. He cited Brownback's support for an eventual path to citizenship for millions of illegal immigrants.

1. "texas A&M (16-2, 4-0)
Billy Gillespie is quietly doing one of the best coaching jobs in the country this season.
2. Kansas (16-3, 3-2)
A loss to Baylor would send the Jayhawks into a serious tailspin.
3. Oklahoma State (16-3,
2-2)
Cowboys are right in the thick of the conference title race.
4. Texas (13-5, 3-1)
Kevin Durant is clearly the
Big 12's player of the year. 5. Texas Tech (14-5, 3-1)
Red Raiders could sneak into the conference's top four before the season is over.
6. Kansas State (13-6, 3-2)
Won three straight since starting 0-2 in Big 12 play.
starting 0-2 in Big 12 play.
7. Iowa State (11-8, 2-3)
A victory in next two games
— Oklahoma State and Texas

Texas sues merchant over anti-Longhorn design
COLLEGE STATION, Texas — "Saw 'em off" a logo often seen printed on T-shirts and other apparel, is at the center of a legal dispute between the University of Texas and a College Station merchant.
The Texas Board of Regents filed a formal legal complaint against College Station-based Aggieland Outfitters and its parent company, Kalcorp Enterprises, for manipulating the Texas Longhorn silhouette on the products.
"Defendants' unauthorized use of Texas Marks complained herein is likely to cause confusion, to cause mistake, or to deceive customers." wrote Louis T. Pirkey, an attorney representing the Board of Regents, in the complaint
Merchandise with the logo has been sold since 1997, and there have not been any complaints, until now, said Fadi Kalaouze, owner of Aggieland Outfitters and Kalcorp.
Kalaouze attempted to trademark the logo, but was denied by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
Both the office of the Board of Regents and the public affairs office at Texas were contacted. Texas neither was available for comment.
"...Texas's complaint is a legally baseless display of poor sportsmanship; according to Kalcorn's motion to dismiss.
The suit was filed Dec. 4, just days after Texas A&M University had beaten Texas in football on Nov. 24.

Kentucky takes a tumble after 11-game win streak
LEXINGTON, Ky. — The Vanderbilt men's basketball coach, Kevin Stallings, whose team had just won for a second consecutive time at Rupp Arena, chuckled when a reporter asked him about Kentucky's inability to handle success. Laughing at the irony — given that UK had won 11 consecutive games — Stallings shook his head, rubbed his hand across his face and said, "Success in Lexington sometimes has a different definition, doesn't it?" he asked.
He's right.
The amazing thing is not that Kentucky lost to Vanderbilt, it's that the limited Wildcats were able to win 11 in a row in the first place. The Cats are still too prone to offensive breakdowns and they shied away from the physical Commodores in the opening minutes.
But to suggest that the Wildcats aren't able to handle success is a little over the too.
That's a problem that has plagued coaches since the invention of the whistle. When your team is flying high, how do you keep it focused on the task at hand? After he failed to find a way to do that, Tubby Smith vowed to change his approach in practice.
"It's all about attitude; coming to practice with the right mental frame," the Kentucky head coach said. "I've got to be a little more comfortable (in practice)."
Judging by postgame comments from Smith and his players, Kentucky's practices last
week were poor. If that's true, perhaps being upset at home by Vandy will inspire the Cats to work a little harder in their new practice facility.
Kentucky Kernel
Durant is good,but Texas more than one-man show
Texas freshman Kevin Durant's early season dominance is widely known among Big 12 coaches, fans and the NBA general managers who could make the 6-foot-9 sensation the No.1 pick in the 2007 draft.
But with Durant floating back to earth after a sub-par performance in the Longhorns' 76-69 road loss at Villanova on Saturday (12 points, eight rebounds), the emergence of teammates such as Big 12 rookie of the week D.J. Augustin has opposing coaches quick to point out the talents of Durant's supporting cast.
"It's not just Kevin Durant. They've got a very, very talented basketball team," said Nebraska coach Doc Sadler, whose Huskers (12-5, 1-2) host Texas (13-5, 3-1) Wednesday night. "It's not just a one-man show."
Augustin, a freshman guard from New Orleans, scored 19 points while dishing out nine assists and collecting seven rebounds in an epic 105-103 triple-overtime loss to Oklahoma State on Jan. 16.
He followed that performance with a career-high tying 25 points in the loss to Villanova, hitting five 3-point shots.

Big 12 replaces players
BASEBALL
BY SHAWN SHROYER
The 2006 MLB Draft claimed six Jayhawks, including Kansas' state leaders in wins, ERA, strikeouts, saves, batting average, RBI, and assists. Here's a list of each school's top player to go pro from 2006 along with the frontrunners to fill their shoes in 2007.
No.4 Texas
Who's gone? Centerfielder Drew Stubbs — 8th overall pick by the Cincinnati Reds
2006 states: 12 HR, 58 RBLI, 1 O19
SLG, 6 R, 26 RB, 342 BA, 443 AH
Who's in? Freshman outfielder Clint Stubbs
Analysis: Texas has more experienced outfielders, but none of them have the last name "Stubbs." That should be enough to make Clint the leading candidate to fill his older brother's spot. Clint earned all-area and all district honors as a senior in high school, hitting .392 with one home run and 22 stolen bases.
No.17 Nebraska
Who's gone? Right-handed pitcher Joba Chamberlain — 41st overall pick by the New York Yankees
2006 stats: 6-5 W-L, 3.93 ERA,
255 BAA, 102 SQ, 89.1 P
Analysis: Last season the attention was on Chamberlain and right-hander Johnny Dorn. Dorn is back and will be the team's No.1 starter, so Watson must duplicate his 2006 stats (10-2 W-L, 2.78 ERA, 69 SO, 100.1 IP) as the No.2 starter.
Who's in? Junior left-handed starter Tony Watson
Bavlor
Who's gone? Left-handed pitcher Cory VanAllen — 151st overall pick by the Washington Nationals
2006 stats: 8-5 W-L, 4-14 ERA,
240 BAA, 56 SO, 88.2 IP
Who's in? Junior right-handed starter RAND Linebaugh
Analysis: Linebaugh was a midweek starter for the Bears last season, but should crack the weekend rotation in 2007. His numbers as a sophomore indicate he'll be up to the challenge.
ERA,.206 BAA, 60 SO, 63.1 IP
Who's in? Sophomore right, handed close Paul Smyth
Analysis: Smyth is in the unenviable position of replacing a legend, but he at least had a year to learn from Czyz. Despite a 6.13 ERA in 2006, Smyth showed excellent control for a freshman with only three wild pitches and 15 walks in 54.1 innings.
Who's gone? Right-handed pitcher Don Czyz — 215th overall pick by the Florida Marlins
Kansas
Kansas State
Who's gone? Third baseman jared Goedert - 281st overall pick by the Cleveland Indians
2006 state5: 12 HR, 46 RB, 1,075
OPS, 55 R, 337 BA, 184 AB
Who's in? Sophomore third baseman Nate Tenbrink
2006 stats: 19 SV, 6-0 W-L, 1.56
Analysis: Tenbrink started 10 games as a freshman and has since bulked up to improve his power numbers and compliment his defense. If Tenbrink isn't ready, junior Sean Smith could be after hitting. 423 with nine home runs as a sophomore at Indian Hills CC.
2006 stats: 7-3 W-L, 2.25 ERA, 1 SHO, 208 BAA, 78 SC, 80 IP
Missouri
Who's gone? Right-handed pitcher Max Scherzer — 11th overall pick by the Arizona Diamondbacks
Who's in? Sophomore left-hand.
ed starter Rick Zagone
Analysis: Zagone was an afterthought in Missouri's weekend rotation last season, but hell have the spotlight to himself after the depart
tures of Scherzer and Nathan Culp. Zagone should be able to improve upon a solid freshman campaign
Oklahoma
Who's in? Junior third baseman
Vincent Biancamano
2006 states; 13 IHR, 67 RBJ, L067
OPS, C9, R87, BAK, 256 AB
Who's in? Junior third baseman Matt Mangini
Analysis: Last season's Newcomer of the Year and Co-Player of the Year Tyler Mach moved from third base to second base, so the pressure is actually on Mangint to make up for the loss of Ford.
2006 stats: 12 HR, 68 RBI, _573
SLG, 50 R, _319 BIA, 213 AB
Who's gone? Third baseman Ryan Rohlinger — 176th overall pick by the San Francisco Giants
Analysis: Biancamano hit five home runs and had 35 RBI last season as the captain of his juco team. He spent his freshman year at Arizona State and started 11 games, so it shouldn't take him long to adjust to D-1 competition.

Oklahoma State
Who's gone? Second baseman Shelby Ford — 80th overall pick by the Pittsburgh Pirates

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAS
BIG 12FASTBREAK
Bio 12 writer Mark Dent's take on the men's conference race
TUESDAY. JANUARY 23. 2007
Start off conversations with these topics...
OKLAHOMA IS OK
The Sooners' leading scorer, Longar Longar, was suspended, most think unfairly, for two games for an elbowing incident against Texas Tech. Oklahoma, which is short on offensive power even with Longar, split games against Texas and Nebraska without him. In Longar's first game back, he scored 10 points off the bench in a 91-51 victory against Baylor. Oklahoma played at Oklahoma State last night (after this deadline), and it will be interesting to see how the Sooners (11-6, 3-2)
do against top conference competition with Longar.
DOC'S DA NAME
This one is for Scott (Anyone else who wants a topic covered or has a question, email the Big 12 Fastbreak at the address listed at the end). No team or coach in this conference has flown under the radar like Nebraska and Doc Sadler — admit it; you didn't even know he was their coach. The Cornhuskers (12-5, 1-2) should fare well in the future under Sadler, a former UTEP coach and Billy Gillispie disciple. On Wednesday, Nebraska has a good chance to spring an upset at home against Texas, which has lost two games in a row and still be
recovering from last week's triple overtime classic against Oklahoma State.
MAYBE HE NEEDS A HUG
Kansas State coach Bob Huggins complained (in words that can't be printed here) about the lack of a student fan base after the Wildcats' victory last Wednesday in Manhattan. Some how, some way, Huggins always finds a way stir up controversy.
UNDERGROUND RAILROAD
Texas A&M could be secretly running away with this conference. If theAggies win in Lubbock against the Red Raiders Wednesday and
then win two home games, they will be 7-0 with a chance to take the conference lead for good when they play the Jayhawks on Feb. 3.
Raise your glasses to...
KANSAS STATE (13-6, 3-2)
THE Wildcats have been tearing it up ever since freshman Bill Walker tore his ACL. Last Wednesday, Baylor led K-State by 10 late in the game before the Wildcats came back to win. Last Saturday, it got even better for purple lovers. Kansas State dropped Iowa State with ease at Hilton Coliseum. Right now, the Wildcats are in fifth place in the Big 12, and their next two conference games, Missouri and Nebraska at home, are gimmees.
Keep a close watch on the race for irrelevance...
ESPN's College Gameday is missing on this deperable delight.
No other game in this conference has more disaster potential than Wednesday's matchup between Missouri (11-6, 0-4) and Colorado (5-10, 1-4) at the Coors Events Center. The Tigers could have a tough time losing this one after playing like a real winner against Kansas in their last game. As for the Buffaloes, they played inspired basketball by scoring only 13 first half points against Nebraska on Saturday. In the end, Colorado is way too horrific to allow Missouri to lose this one.
Send a congratulations Facebook message to...
DARRYL DORA, TEXAS TECH
True, the Jayhawks gave this for ward 100 feet of room anytime he touched the ball, but Dora still had to make seven of his 13 shots on his way to a game-high 19 points in Tech's 69-64 upset. He never really caught fire during the game, instead he spread out his scoring enough to
hurt Kansas multiple times. Dora the Jayhawk 'Horra' has made Kansas fans' lives miserable in two of the past three years. In 2005, he nailed a three-pointer to upend then No. 2 Kansas, which started a three-game losing streak for the Jayhawks.
You probably said 'Oh my God' about...
MARTIN ZENO, TEXAS TECH
Sorry Jayhawk 'tans for bringing this game up again, but Zenos dunk symbolized Techs triumph last Saturday. Zeno took off running after Kansas guard Sherron Collins missed on a three-pointer that would have tied the game. The Red Raiders rebounded his miss and passed the ball to Zeno in stride, who finished with a flush and sealed the upset.

been "speeding a little bit" and was on her way to get a hamburger because she had filmed a music video all day without eating.
The hotel heirss, singer, actress and handbag designer said she had consumed only a single margarita at a charity event that evening.

Bears fans didn't like losing Arthur to a Big 12 rival, but Rogers told the Waco Tribute-Herald that he understood the decision.
"It hurt a little, but he made the best decision for himself and his family," he said. "He's still a good friend."
Both have had successful transitions to the college game, and have been mentioned as potential NBA players.
Robinson said that Arthur has been a valuable addition to the team, and thinks he's ready to handle the hostile crowd that will await him on Wednesday.
"I'm pretty sure they're not going to be too happy about it," he said. "But he's tough-minded and hopefully he'll be ready to play."

QUOTES FROM COACH
BILL SELF'S WEEKLY PRESS
CONFERENCE, HELD MON-
DAY AFTERNOON:
Why high school teammates facing each other in college is not rare:
think this happens more than what you'd think, but in this case, because it was blown up to be Baylor against Kansas, maybe there was more attention drawn to it. I think [Darell] will be more excited to play against Kevin than to play again Baylor I can't see that being a big deal."
"In all honestly, kids from our region, more often than not, they stay in the Big 12 region, I
On Texas Tech storming the court:
"I'm all into people having a good time and enthusiasm. I'm not knocking storming the court, I just wish there was some way to keep them away from the players. You're going to have one student who is going to unintentionally chicken wing a guy, and hell be lying on the floor. That's all it takes."
Scouting Baylor:
"They are dangerous, period. I don't know if the other night (deefing Texas Tech 73-70) makes them more dangerous. They've got six guys that will all get 20 minutes a night, and they've got a lot of balance, like us. They are a dangerous team. They've been in a lot of games."
BIG 12 (CONTINUED FROM 12A)
Kansas coach Bill Self after a 68-64
Jawhawk victory in overtime.
"They're a lot better than what people projected them to be," Self said. "Look at what that staff has done. They sign five guys and four of them are playing a ton of minutes. They had a great recruiting year in two weeks."
While McDermott, Sadler and Anderson have found Big 12 life difficult, Huggins, Sutton and Oklahoma's Jeff Capel have been enjoying success. Capel's Sooners just crushed Baylor, winning 91-51, Oklahoma State outlasted Texas in triple overtime last Tuesday and is a favorite to finish in the top three in the conference.
Huggins has perhaps been the
most impressive. Kansas State lost its best player, Bill Walker, to a torn ACL in its first conference game against Texas A&M. The loss had huge ramifications for the Wildcat offense.
"Bill's got a great basketball IQ on top of being a great talent," Huggins said after the injury. "We had been working on plays with him in it over break and now we need to reconfigure things to the way it was before Bill."
Well, the reconfiguration has worked. Kansas State lost its first game to Texas Tech without Walker, but has won three straight since. The three-game winning streak has lifted the Wildcats into fifth place in the conference.
But the four teams that Kansas State is looking up at in the standings all have one characteristic in common — they are all led by experienced Big 12 coaches, proving that the establishment is still king, at least for now.
"The three years I've been here, it's by far the most balanced," Gillispe said about the Big 12. "You have to continue to improve as players, as coaches and as a fan base to keep your head above water in this league."

Fast pace key to success
To win, Self must allow players to increase game tempo
Something just has not meshed with the Kansas basketball team this season.
The team may be the most talented and the deepest in America, with arguments to be made for North Carolina and Florida. However, on any given night it is difficult to know which Kansas team will show up, the one that beat Florida and Oklahoma State, or the one that struggled at Texas Tech and DePaul.
I think that a lot of the problems Kansas has had in the past three games is its inability to run and pick up the tempo. That might be because of the offense that Kansas runs, usually a half court, high-low style that Kansas has used since Bill Self arrived in 2003.
Kansas looked great against Florida when it ran up and down the court with the reigning champions.
Kansas was unable to pull out the win, but that brief spurt showed me what Kansas needs to do against teams that decide they want to slow the game down. Kansas needs to press on every made basket. That will force the other team into bad

decisions and lengthen the game.
Against Missouri more than a week ago, 'Tigers' coach Mike Anderson, who usually runs a "40 Minutes of Hell" style, conceded to Kansas' athletic ability and did not press, thus slowing down the game. It nearly worked, with Kansas pulling out a slim three point victory.
It has been said that the more possessions there are in a game, the decreased likelihood that an upset will occur. That is because the more talented team will be more likely to exploit the deficiencies of the less talented team.
No one is arguing that Texas Tech is a better team than Kansas.
They are better coached, but Bobby Knight does not have the talent that Bill Self has. Self needs to realize that his team needs to play faster. They need to press constantly, even when they are leading.

I don't pretend to know what Self knows. He has the opportunity to evaluate these players every day in practice, I get the opportunity to
However, from just watching the games, it appears that Kansas needs to play faster. The Jayhawks need to use the athletic ability that caused them to be ranked so highly in the pre-season.
Kansas has some of the most talented defensive guards in the nation, and enabling them to use those talents on the entire court through pressing, and not just in half-court sets, is going to rattle other teams.
Self and the lajahaves have talked a lot this season about not stepping on the throats of opponents when they lead by 10 to 15 points. This has enabled teams to stay in games, and come tournament time, it could lead to the same result that we've seen the last two seasons.
Playing at a faster pace will work well with the athleticism that this team has and will make it more likely for those 10 point leads to end up as 25 point leads.
This team still can make a Final Four, but it is going to have to do it by using its athletic ability.

Despite the early struggles she has encountered, Kemp has used the athleticism and tenacious demeanor to her advantage that served her well in her time at Kansas.

A press release from her Romanian team describes Kemp as a very intelligent player with the size and strength to create problems for opposing teams.
UNIVERSITY DANCE COMPANY
Though she is enjoying her experience playing professionally, she is still determined to coach women's basketball someday.
Nearly 6,000 miles from home, Kemp knows she has no control over the puzzling language or odd cuisine. However, she is still able to control the area directly surrounding the basket with authority. Maybe life in Romania is not as foreign as it seems.

Rivalry move bad for KU
BY TRAVIS ROBINETT
KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST
TRОВИНТЬ@KANSAN.COM
Jayhawk fans have one less chance to tear down the goal posts next season. Kansas is set to play Missouri in Arrowhead Stadium for the next two years, and security most likely won't let any unauthorized personnel on the field.
That's the only good news about this new deal from where I sit. Details of ticket sales and money surpluses for the University of Kansas aside this is not a good thing for Kansas football program.
Before Athletic Director Lew Perkins agreed to the two-year deal he should have read up on Kansas football's recent history. Can Kansas win away from home? Not often.
After five seasons of conference games, coach Mark Mangino has only managed two wins outside of Lawrence: Iowa State last year and Missouri three seasons ago. With Chase Daniel returning for the Tigers, the jayhawks probably won't stand a chance on a neutral field.
Next season Kansas will play five conference games away from the safety net of Memorial Stadium. This is also the last year before Kansas has to play Texas and Oklahoma again. We shouldn't be giving away a home game.
This is bad news for Mangino who is in a make-or-break year. This deal should have waited until Kansas football had a stronger footing. Sure Kansas has earned bowl eligibility three of the past four seasons, but not once it has had a winning conference record.
The athletic department may ask "But what about the television contracts and the recruiting advantages that will come of this?" OK, the game will be televised. So what? Last season's game was on ABC but hardly broadcast to anyone. Only Kansas, Missouri and tiny slivers of Nebraska and Iowa were able to watch.
Not even Texas, a state with four Big 12 schools, watched the Border Showdownd. Most of the nation was shown Florida vs. Florida State instead No recruit who didn't already know about Kansas saw that game.
It doesn't make sense to move the game to Arrowhead. The only type of regular season game played on a neutral field is a big-named rivalry. Texas and Oklahoma play in Dallas. Florida plays Georgia in Jacksonville. Both games are national spectacles of intense competition between established powers in college football. Those games often decide which team finishes at the top of the conference and which must wait until next year.
The only thing this game will decide is regional bragging rights and which minor bowl game Kansas and Missouri will play in. Also, because alcohol is served at Arrowhead stadium, we might get to see which student body would win in a brawl, that is if the students even attend (the game is during Thanksgiving break).
Oh, and one last thing to think about. Kansas will play Missouri in Missouri every time the game is at Arrowhead. That is definitely not a good thing.

Old friend becomes foe
BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS
When Darrell Arthur returns home to Texas Wednesday night, he probably won't receive a warm welcome.
"I think Darrell might get a few boos," junior guard Russell Robinson said.
The lavahwaks head to Texas to face Baylor, the school that Arthur almost went to. He said the crowd won't be entirely against him, though.
He'll also see a familiar face on the court with him. Baylor forward Kevin Rogers was a high school teammate of Arthur's at South Oak Cliff in Dallas.
"I'm going to have some family members there, so I think it will go both ways," he said.
This year, both have emerged as top players in the Big 12 Conference. Rogers is in the conference's top 15 in blocked shots, offensive rebounds and defensive rebounds.
Arthur's stats aren't as gaudy, mainly because he has to share time with established players like junior Sasha Kaun and sophomore Julian Wright.
Both have received significant amount of playing time, and the two former teammates will likely guard each other for a good portion of Wednesday's game.
"I think that may be a little bit overblowed," coach Bill Self said. "I think he'll be more excited to play against Kevin than to play against Baylor."
Rogers and Arthur were friends in high school, and teamed up to win the Texas state championship during their senior year.
KANSAN FILE PHOTO
For a few months, it looked like they would be reunited at Baylor. But it came to decision time, and Arthur began to feel torn.
"People were calling me every day trying to see where I was going to go," he said. "They were getting kind of upset that I hadn't picked a

The new coaches helped the Big 12 compile an impressive record in non-conference play.
The six rookies combined for a 63-19 record in the season's first half. Included in that mark are wins against Arkansas, Southern California, Pittsburgh, Syracuse and Creighton, all of which solidified the Big 12 as one of the best conferences in the country.
"It's a great league, one of the better leagues in the country," Anderson said. "This league from top to bottom is as good as any league."
Anderson has found that out the hard way.
He, along with two of the six other new coaches, has struggled out of the gate in G1 12 play. After an 11-2 start, the Tigers have dropped all four of their conference games. At Nebraska. Doc Sadler lost his first two conference games before his team blew out Colorado last Saturday.

Ex-'Hawk faces new obstacles
Former Kansas basketball player Crystal Kemp is well on her way to becoming the newest addition to the list.
According to the CIA World Factbook, Romania's main imports include products like fuel, machinery, and metal.
BY ASHER FUSCO
Kemp starts career with Romanian team
After a brilliant career at Kansas chock-full of accolades and achievements, Kemp recently left the United States to continue her basketball career in Romania.
Kemp finished her four-year college stint among Kansas' all-time leaders in points, rebounds, field goal percentage, and blocked shots. At 6-
foot 2, she stood out as one of the most intimidating and polished players in the Big 12 Conference throughout her tenure at Kansas.
Kemp
BEST WOMEN'S GROUP
"Crystal was one of the best
post players I've coached," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "She used her size to her advantage and had great touch in the lane."
Immediately after her final game as a Jayhawk, Kemp planned on continuing her basketball career as a coach. In the months following her Kansas career, she attended several seminars and served as an intern to learn more about coaching.
"The time difference is eight hours ahead." Kemp said in an email interview. "It's challenging trying to talk and communicate with family and friends."
Adding to her already long list of apprehensions was the fact that the Topeka native had never been outside of the United States.
Along with discovering the nuances of dining in a country where, Kemp said, "the ketchup tastes like cranberry sauce," she had to overcome the subtle differences between American and Romanian basketball.
In Europe, games are divided into four 10-minute quarters with no media time-outs, giving players fewer opportunities to rest.
During the same time, Kemp attended the WNBA scouting combine. Although she was not selected in the 2006 WNBA draft, Kemps interest in playing basketball was rekindled. Working alongside coach Henrickson, Kemp was able to sign a contract with a team based in Romania, Livas Biandra Taroviste.
Kemp completed her degree at the University of Kansas in December and then flew to Romania. When she arrived in Europe, the season was already underway.
The toughest challenge Kemp has faced is the language barrier. With only three teammates who speak passable English, Kemp must wait for a translator to relay messages from the coaching staff. She often catches herself shouting commands to her teammates in English by instinct, only to realize the other players have no idea what she is saying.
"Playing in Romania is definitely a lot different than playing in America," Kemp said. "But like any player I just play the game."

Officials prepare for influenza spread
BY DANAE DESHAZER
身
As students return to campus, the germs and illnesses from their hometowns follow.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment reported sporadic influenza activity in the south-central and northeast areas of Kansas. Although the flu hasn't hit Lawrence hard yet, it's predicted to hit soon.
"We haven't seen a lot of cases yet," said Patricia Denning, chief of staff at Watkins Memorial Health Center. "We are waiting for prevalence."
Denning said a significant amount of flu, cases were reported in Kansas City during winter break and now that the semester has started, she anticipated it will be on campus soon.
Denning would not release an exact number of flu cases at Watkins; however, she said there were few reported so far this year. About 100 flu vaccinations are still available at Watkins, which Denning said was normal for this time in the season. Sheryl Tirol-Goodwin, communications coordinator for the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department, said there was still
plenty of the vaccine left at the local health department, 200 Maine St.
Tirol Goodwin said the flu season typically ran from October to March, but seemed to peak in January and February.
"We do have few cases of flu in the county, but just because we have a few, doesn't mean that number can't grow," Tirol-Goodwin said. "It's really unpredictable."
virus. However, the influenza virus changes through time and KDHE recommends yearly vaccinations. The flu vaccine at Watkins is $15 for students and $21 at the health department.
Denning said it was not too late to get a vaccination, and that she urged every student to do so. The state health department reported that the vaccine was about 80 percent effective in preventing illness from the
If students aren't interested in a vaccine, Tirol Goodwin urges them to practice healthy habits, such as washing their hands and covering their mouth when they cough.

their daily commute from Johnson County to Lawrence. Fellow seniors Julie Wolfe of Shawnee and Joel Bakian of Overland Park comprise the traveling group along with Cook. The group has been traveling together for three years. All three are pharmacy students and have similar class schedules, so timing isn't usually a problem.
"In any car pool, there's usually that one person who's not on time, who you have to wait around on," Cook said, looking at Wolfe and laughing. "But we've never had a real problem."
Margretta de Vries, administrative associate for the Parking Department, said that car pooling on campus hadn't been as successful as she would have liked, but that several options had been considered. She said that there was room in the department's rules to develop a plan that would give students incentive to car pool, but
that no decision had materialized on how to go about such a change.
"There would be more use if we had more car pooling permits or a program," de Vries said. "But we don't have it worked out. There are so many ways to do it."
Some possible plans could save students money because the cost of a permit could be divided between multiple users.

ROTC
Surge leaves cadets in class
BY TYLER HARBERT
President Bush's push for an influx of more than 20,000 troops in Iraq will not change the ROTC program protocol at the University of Kansas.
"We're a four-year program," Maj. Gary Farley, executive officer for the KU Army ROTC program said. "We're not accelerating; we'll have the same curriculum, the same standards."
The purpose of the ROTC program is to train cadets to become "warrior leaders," while earning a four-year degree. That philosophy hasn't changed since the president's highly-debated announcement, Farley said.
"If anything there's more relevance or purpose to their training," he said.
The program gives cadets hands-on on training to equip them with the leadership skills necessary for active duty, he said.
Farley said he hadn't noticed an increase in anxiety among cadets about the up-coming troop surge.
"The ROTC cadets know we're a nation at war up-front," he said. "They know what they're getting into."
Two cadets, Lt. Col. Noah Rees, battalion commander and Lecompton senior, and Sgt. Maj Mark Anderson, Mission Hills junior, said they were indifferent to the surge.
"What happens with war doesn't affect the ROTC program at the rate we progress through it," Rees said. "Even if not in Iraq, I'm confident I'll have to serve and I'm willing to do whatever is necessary."
Graduated cadets come out of the program as second heutenants, but their training isn't complete. Farley said. From there they go to more specialized training, which could last for up to a year before being stationed with a platoon.
Cadet Major Mike Beamon, battalion executive officer and Lenexa senior, said there were no definite odds on whether he would go to war because of the training time line.

Who's Who at KU
Jack Connor
BY RACHEL BURCHFIELD
Standing at a foot-3, Jack Connor is hard to miss on campus. But even if the Overland Park junior was of a different stature, it would be difficult to miss his presence at the University of Kansas.
Coinon, a journalism major, or on three separate advisory boards
at the University — the Chancellor's Advisory Board for Intercollegiate Athletics and advisory boards for both KJKH and Legal Services for Students. He also serves on the executive board for the Jayhawker Towers Tenants Association. His involvement in the latter organization gave Connor the opportunity to serve as the towers' representative to Student Senate, where he is a member of the
Student Rights Committee. Connor is also a member of the Delta Force coalition.
"I look at myself as someone who wants to improve campus and get involved," he said. "I love KU so much that I want to give back by being involved and by giving my talents back through advisory boards and Student Senate."
Connor, a second generation Jayhawk, has been a lifelong KU supporter. He grew up attending KU sporting events and his hometown's close
proximity to Lawrence made attending the University a natural choice. As he prepared to graduate from Rockhurst High School in Kansas City, Mo., in 2004, he applied to
other schools but figured that he would end up at the University, his first-choice school. Since arriving on campus, Connor has become involved in a number of student groups and has held a steady job at Watson Library working as a student assistant.
Connor is a campus leader, a layhawk fan and taller than the average American male. But if asked, how would Connor describe himself to others?
"The word 'awesome' comes to mind because it describes me pretty well and how I think of myself," he said. "The second word would be 'humble.'"

The second outbreak of the deadly HSN1 bird flu this year was found in hens in Thailand's northeastern province of Nong Khai when it was confirmed by laboratory tests after the deaths of about 200 chickens were reported last week, a veterinarian of livestock development said.

50-year-old car ready to be unearthed for contest
TULSA, Okla. — Organizers of a coming out party for a brand new 1957 Plymouth Belvedere could use some help.
The car, buried under the lawn of the Tulsa County Courthouse in 1957, is scheduled to be unearthed June 15 as part of the Oklahoma Centennial.
Promoters are looking for people who helped lower the car into its crypt in 1957 to shed some light on what to expect when the car is unearthed. There's speculation the car may have turned into a pile of rust. Or that it's in pristine condition and worth thousands of dollars. Efforts were made to preserve it, but it's unclear if moisture has gotten to the metal and caused rust.
When the car was buried, a contest was announced to award the car and a $100 savings account
to the person who came closest to guessing Tulsa's population in 2007.
Organizers concede that finding that person with the winning guess or his or her heirs may not be easy. Guesses were sealed in a steel container buried with the car.

KU-MU game move disappoints commission
Mayor Mike Amyx said at Tuesday night's city commission meeting he planned to send a letter from the city commission to the University of Kansas athletics department expressing the commission's disappointment with the decision to move the Missouri football game to Kansas City, Mo., for the next two years.
Amyx said businesses, workers and athletics fans would all be hurt by the moving of the game.
"I ask the question: What is tradition worth?" Amyx said.
"Well, I found out."

CITY COMMISSION
Candidates file for upcoming primary
BY MATT ERICKSON
Three city commission seats are up for election this year. David Schauner and Dennis "Boog" Highberger are running for re-election along with seven other candidate hopefuls.The deadline to apply for the race was noon Tuesday.The primary election will be held Feb.27 to narrow the field of candidates from nine to six.
David Schauner
Jake Davis, another candidate who filed, could not be reached for comment by press time.
David Schauner, who works as general counsel for the Kansas National Education Association, has served on the city commission since 2003.
He has lived in Lawrence for six years.
Schauner
Schauner said he had supported the commission's efforts to make the Lawrence Transit System, the T, more convenient for students and to ensure better inspections of rental properties. He said he wanted to increase coordination between the T and KU on Wheels.
PETER PARKER
"I think it's probably something we just don't have a choice about, ultimately," Schauner said. "Clearly, it's more and more difficult to park around campus."
Dennis "Boog" Highberger
Dennis "Boog" Highberger, an attorney for the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.
has lived in Lawrence since 1977. He was the former student body vice president at the University of Kansas and has bachelor's and law degrees from the University.
Highberger said he supported the city's smoking ordinance, which he said made many students' lives better.
A. A. ROBERTS
Highberger
"You can go out to a bar without getting lung <ancer>. Highberger said."
He said he also wanted resource conservation and environmental protection to be priorities for the city.
Michael Limburg
Michael Limbury, who works for Amart Garage Doors, runs twice for the Olathe city council and has
also participated in campaigns and contract negotiations with his worker's union. He has lived in Lawrence for five years.
Limburg said he wanted to bring more manufacturing industries to Lawrence, which he said could provide jobs for University graduates. He said he opposed the commission's
B. S. Bhasin
Limburg
proposed domestic partner registry because he said it would have little effect and might allow people to look up the names of registered same-sex couples and harass them.
"It has no legal binding whatsoever, and it's going to be a public record for anyone," Limburg said.
Mike Dever
Mike Dever, owner of GuideWire Consulting. earned his bachelor's degree at the University. He has lived in Lawrence for
He has lived in Lawrence for 19 years.
Dever said, if elected, he would work to lower realestate taxes, something he said could save students money.
"By reducing the cost of real estate taxes, in effect, we can lower the cost of rent for the people who are only leasing the
houses or apartments in town,' Dever said.
Dever
Dever said his other priorities included attracting businesses to Lawrence and improving traffic flow.
Rob Chestnut
Rob Chestnut moved back to Lawrence in 2001. after leaving in 1985. He grew up in
Lawrence and received bachelor's and master's degrees from the University. He is the chief financial officer for Allen Press, Inc.
Chestnut said he wanted to attract new businesses to Lawrence that would provide jobs for University graduates.
Chestnut
"An improved local job
market for graduating seniors would allow the community to retain some of the talented young people who leave the community each year," Chestnut said.
He said he also wanted to improve the Lawrence Public Library and local recreational facilities without raising property taxes.
Sam Fields
Sam Fields, a bail bondsman who owns Applejack's and AJ's bonding companies, also
works as an insurance agent. He attended classes at the University as a nontraditional student when he first came to Lawrence in 1989.
Fields said he wanted to build a new library at the former location of the Riverfront Mall. He said he missed the view and the design of the building.
I am a native of the United States. I grew up in a family with strong values and a commitment to education. My passion for teaching and learning began at an early age, and I have since continued to excel in my studies. I am a highly motivated student who is dedicated to achieving her goals. I am also a proud member of our school community and will be proud to serve in any way that benefits our students.
"There been a whole generation of young people in Lawrence who've grown up and never seen the inside of that building." Fields said.
Fields
James Bush
James Bush, pastor of First Southern Baptist Church, moved to Lawrence in 2002.
Bush said he wanted to focus on Lawrence's economy.
He said he wanted Lawrence to be a place where more University students could get a job after graduating instead of moving elsewhere.
"Primarily, I want to work to improve our local economy," Bush said. "I think just as all politics are local, all economy is local."

The previous process required students to obtain a contract on their own and return it before deadline. Now, students have the necessary paperwork at their door, ready and waiting.

DNA clears charges against two men
BY JOHN KEKIS ASSOCIATED PRESS
AUBURN, N.Y. — Two inmates—a convicted rapist in Georgia and a man who was unjustly convicted of murder in New York but helped find the real killer from his prison cell—were granted their freedom Tuesday after DNA tests proved their innocence.
Innocence Project co-director
Peter Neufeld said he had never seen a case like that of Roy Brown, whose 1992 murder conviction was thrown out by a judge.
"Armed only with a notebook, stamps and a copy of the state's Freedom of Information Law, Roy Brown identified the true perpetrator from a prison cell," said Nina Morrison, an attorney at the Innocence Project.
Frail from severe liver disease.
Brown said bitterly at a news conference after his release: "This was an abortion, an abortion of justice. They could have saved me all this bell."
Brown, 46, was convicted of stabbing and strangling Sabina Kulakowski. He was found guilty mostly on the strength of bite marks on her nude body that a prosecution witness linked to Brown.

After numerous appeals were rejected, Brown filed a Freedom of Information request four years ago and paid $28.50 for copies of all the documents in his case. He found four affidavits relating to Barry Bench, the brother of Kulakowski's ex-boyfriend.
Neither Brown nor his lawyers had previously seen the afidavits, which convinced Brown that Bench was the killer. Brown sent a letter from prison to Bench in 2003, accusing him of the murder. Several days later, Bench committed suicide by stepping in front of a train.
Williams was convicted in a 1985 attack on a woman at an apartment complex parking lot. The woman identified him as her attacker. But DNA tests on genetic material from a rape kit examination cleared Williams.
"We are convinced today Mr. Williams was not responsible for this," Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard said.
Cayuga County District Attorney James B. Vargason ordered Bench's body exhumed to extract DNA, and
"I just think it's absolutely phene-

Celebrity obsession endangers politics
The obsession with celebrity has permeated the bowels of every medium, influenced daily rituals and has now filibustered politics. Celebrity endorsements of candidates are common place. To get attention—particularly with a younger voting bloc—political parties need to make celebrities out of their front runners.
Former President John E. Kennedy was the inventor of the celebrity politician. He was the George Clooney of politics during his time. He had the swagger, the good looks and knew how to appeal to his fan base, or voters. President Bill Clinton took this celebrity politician idea to the stratosphere. From discussing his underwear preferences on MTV to playing the saxophone on popular nighttime talk show "Arsenio Hall". Clinton made a name for himself. He had personality and emulated a cool that was lacking in politics at the time.
This same sentiment has recently erupted with the captivating Barack Obama. This Democratic senator from Illinois would be on the cover of "Entertainment Weekly's" "TT List" issue if the magazine focused on politics. Obama has

Voters need to research the candidates in the 2008 Presidential election. Find major platform points that are important to you. Examine a politician's voting history.Before openly supporting a candidate on your Facebook page, make sure that candidate represents you in the same way that you want your favorite music section to describe you.Jumping onto a cultural phenomenon, such as celebrity status, is difficult to avoid. Just remember that at one time people believed the world would end in the year 2000, supported Sen. Joseph McCarthy and believed the "Macarena" was cool. Those same people are probably embarrassed by their lack of individuality and research skills.

Consider habitat in all issues
COMMENTARY
The environment is not partisan. It has no hidden agenda and no moral motives. It does not discriminate. You might not like freezing rain pelting down and turning everything into a treacherous ice patch, but you probably won't go out and protest against it. The environment is not an issue. It is our habitat, the context in which we live; the source of our food, our water, our shelter and even the particles that make up our bodies.
BELEN TREVIN
A common misconception today is that the environment is something "out there;" that people are separate, and things are only natural if humans are absent. This couldn't be further from the truth People and the environment have developed together, shaping each other for as long as people have existed. Consider the native prairie that is the picture of Kansas' natural environment; it would disappear without periodic burnings initiated by people.
We are, in fact, tremendously adept at changing the environment to suit our needs. Human ingenuity has developed incredible technology to control the environment: light bulbs to conquer darkness, climate-controlled housing to combat the weather, irrigation, vaccinations, ter-

tilizer. The list is endless and these controls have undoubtedly improved our quality of life.
According to John Muir, the first president of the Sierra Club, the problem with controlling the environment, however, begins when we overlook the fact that "when we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the Universe."
For this reason, identifying something as an "environmental problem" is misleading. Think of the hot topic today: global climate change. As people release more and more carbon into the atmosphere, the greenhouse effect intensifies and the earth warms. The warming is problematic because, among other things, it intensifies storms, melts ice and threatens to extinguish islands and costal cities.
Regardless of whether you think that people have contributed to the global warming trend, you will have
to deal with its consequences. These could range from economic effects if lower Manhattan floods, to health issues of an increased mosquito habitat—increased malaria—to the agricultural nightmare of shifting climate regimes, to polar bear extinction if arctic ice continues to melt.
Therefore, I propose that, starting now, we cease thinking of the environment as an issue to be debated. Instead, we must realize that we are imbedded within it and that it affects every aspect of our lives.
Taking care of the environment means taking care of ourselves. The environment should not be the issue; it should be considered in every issue.
So next time you are walking through the icy mess on campus, let your mind wander to those polar bears that have to continue swimming because they can't find any ice to climb. Then remember what Muin said and how it applies to the situation. We are hitched to everything. If we let the polar bear's Arctic habitat melt away, then our habitat will eventually flood. It is not just an "environmental issue."

COMMENTARY
Lax standards, grade inflation lead to weak minds
In a world where some schools consider getting rid of athletic competition, the honor roll and red ink for fear of hurting children's feelings, one has to ask: Are we breeding a generation of wimps?
Completing a degree should be a pinnacle of education reserved for the driven few, regardless of their class or wealth. Too often now, it's an excuse to spend four years—or five, or six—slacking. Even graduate school is becoming an excuse to prolong the inevitable period before unemployment. Is this what college is meant to be?
More and more people, both in America and in Britain, receive college degrees. Are we better educated, or has everyone fallen to the same low standard?
In Britain, A-Level scores—simi
lar to our AP exams—have consistently risen during the past several years. The vast majority of students not only pass, but a quarter of all students receive an A. Britain's younger generation claims to have gotten smarter through the years, while Britain's older generation points to easier tests and a lower pass threshold. In some cases, it's possible to pass with a 35 percent. In America, are rising SAT scores evidence of a smarter generation?
Whatever British and American students say, there's really no empirical evidence to suggest, despite rising test scores, students are any smarter than their parents and grandparents.
The BBC did a report on the rising A Level scores, and found that employers in Britain were frustrated
Fernandez
at new graduates' inability to do basic math and writing. At least some of these same students must have scored well in their math and writing A Levels to qualify for a college degree. As for American students, ask the average American teenager to find Iraq on a map and you'll have your answer.

to know who among that quarter really understood the material and who simply benefited from lowered testing standards?
If an employer has 10 job applicants and they all have the exact same English degree, how should the employer differentiate between the best and brightest if our governments have mandated that everyone must be the best and the brightest? Eventually, a bachelor's degree, once prestigious, will be little more than an expensive piece of paper, even for those who did put tote effort.

prestige away from those for whom a degree is a sincere mission. It also attempts to trap students who might not want to go to college—or who might not be able to do the work—by saying that if they don't complete a degree, they've somehow failed. That isn't the case.
Our educational systems have a choice to make. We can either push the self-esteem, egalitarian agenda at the expense of tomorrow's workforce or we can finally admit that, while everyone should be allowed the same opportunities, everyone shouldn't be expected to use the opportunities equally.

I suffer from this first-day-of- class fear that increases the heart rate right after I tell the rest of the students what my major is and what I want to do with it.
I don't fear not knowing what I want to do. I am told by my adviser and countless other students we go to college to find that out.
"They make you tell your name, where you're from, and your major. And they always ask what you are looking to get out of the class. As if the name of the class didn't give that away."
Mehlsauab thinks as soon as teachers start demanding generalities, such as your favorite movie, you put up a front. You have to carefully select the film that gives the best first impressions. "Donnie Darko" is a solid answer.
But at the end of the day, after all the favorite ice cream flavors and actors are named, Mehlstaub and I both dread that first day for the same reason.
"I'm afraid of sounding superficial," he said.
"Are you superficial?" I ask him. "It sounds like it"
I ask him what his favorite movie is and he laughs. This might be the first time anyone has asked him that and not wanted to know his name and where he is from.
"The problem [with the first day of class] is that teachers assume you aren't social." my friend Max Mhelistaub, says while sitting at his desk still enrolling in classes. He assures me the delay isn't to avoid any awkward introductions.
I do know what I want to do after four years, but as the kids around the room declare doctor, lawyer, pre-law or engineer; I suddenly think that what I'm about to say doesn't fit in.
Now it is his turn. He asks me what I want to do with my English major. I tell him I want to be a high school English teacher.

After walking past the store front and through the glass door of Aladdin's Cafe, customers are greeted with the overwhelming scent of curry, cilantro, and hummus. Meditative-sounding Middle-Eastern music plays in the background as customers chat and eat hummus and falafels in their booths.
Stepping inside any of the ethnic restaurants in Lawrence is not only an experience for the taste buds, but for the rest of the senses. Festive artwork adorns the walls and tables, while ethnic music plays loudly from each corner of the room. Smells seem to literally touch the tongue, as the texture and feel of each dish adds to the anticipation of the first whether it be Mexican, Thai or Greek.

his culture through food.
"We are the only restaurant in Lawrence to offer Middle-Eastern food, and most of our customers
and never tried it before coming in," he said.
"But when they do, they like it, and they want to come back again and again."
Iskandrani also said the Middle-Eastern style of food the restaurant offers was much healthier than a lot of the other options, including hamburgers or pizza.

Aladdin's Café caters to both its omnivorous and vegetarian customers. The shawmash chicken and the falalels have proven to be the most popular choices, he said.
"Basically, we want to expose the palate
The most popular dish at Thai House is the Pad Thai, which, Caldon said is proof that people are stepping out of their comfort zones to try different things.
"So many people are scared of Thai food at first because they think it will all be very hot," Caldon said. "The level of spice can be altered, but either way the flavors are explosive and addictive."
Some would rather order the spinach enchilada at La Familia Café, 733 New Hampshire St.
"Basically, we want to expose the palate to the different flavors of Thai food through spices and also through levels of taste."
The Mexican restaurant gives a more home-cooking feel for those from Mexico and also

those new to the taste of the country's food.
"Our food is influenced by the cooking my mother used to do." Philip Rodriguez, La Familia owner, said.
While our stomachs are being filled, the ambiance in the restaurants can be just as festive.
"The artwork in our restaurant gives people the feeling of being overseas,"
Iskandrani said, "The speakers also add to our restaurant, as many people have never heard Middle-Eastern music before."
From the hot sauce in the chili con queso at La Familia Café to a quick lunch at The Mad Greek, taste buds everywhere can be given the opportunity to spice it up a little.

KANSAS VS. BAYLOR, 7 TONIGHT, CHANNEL 15
>> SECOND ROUND OR BUST
KANSAS
Kansas needs to fulfill hype
BY ERIC JORGENSEN
EJORGENSEN@KANSAN.COM
KANSAN FILE PHOTO
Sasha Kaun leads the Big 12 Conference in shooting percentage, but he didn't shoot the ball for the first 17 minutes in Saturday's loss at Texas Tech. Coach Chishot Bill self wants to better utilize the big men against Baylor tonight.
Kansas coach Bill Self once said about his recruiting that if there were scholarships available he would offer his remaining ones to the best athletes left in the field, regardless of position.
Nick Collison wasn't the best athlete, but at least his team knew how to crush opponents when they were supposed to.
If Kansas doesn't destroy, let alone defeat, Baylor tonight, what's left of the fans lust for this talented team will stay in Waco, Texas.
Maybe Kansas fans are just spoiled.
The Jayhawks are a good team and will finish well above 20 victories this season, but when the team is billed as the most talented in Kansas history and is preseason picked to win the national championship, fans expect teams like Oral Roberts, DePaul and Texas Tech to remain in obscurity, and not become the reason I drank a little too much that night.
Starting tonight, it's time for these "big-time" players to actually play like it, and not just for one game. They need to stop just being athletes and start playing their positions.
Russell Robinson needs to feed the post and get everyone else going.
Brandon Rush needs to slash to the basket and get himself open off screens and cuts.
Julian Wright needs to use his mismatches to draw double teams and dish it off to Sasha Kaun or Darrell Arthur for easy shots around the rim.
If they continue to not play like a team on offense, then Self should just call the same play again and again.

Kansas looks to slow down game plan against Baylor
BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS
When reviewing Saturday's loss to Texas Tech, Kansas coach Bill Self counted the number of times where the Jayhawks "wasted" a possession. He counted times when a bad shot was taken, the ball was thrown away or a turnover happened before the offense could get in place.
"Some turnovers are okay if you try to do what you're supposed to do," he said. "But we wasted 22 possessions where we did not do what we were supposed to do. That's just too high of a number."
Junior guard Russell Robinson said that the team has to slow down and run its offense, instead of everybody trying to take things into their own hands.
The Jayhawks will look to correct that problem tonight. They face the Baylor Bears at 7 p.m. in Waco, Texas.
"Everybody had good intentions," he said. "This team has no selfish people. But sometimes you can get in your mind that you have to make a play to change the game, and that hurts the chemistry."
Instead of looking immediately for a three-point shot, the guards will be asked to slow down the game, and place a greater emphasis on getting the ball inside.
Self wants the ball handlers to understand that the Jayhawk big guys — junior center Sasha Kaun, sophomore forward Julian Wright and freshman forward Darrell Arthur — have a size and skill advantage against their competition. Kaun is leading the Big 12 in shooting percentage, but didn't get his first shot opportunity until 17 minutes into Saturday's game.
"That's ridiculous." Self said. "That's us not really understanding how to take advantage of what we think should be an advantage for us."
The guards won't be the only
ones making adjustments. On Saturday, the layhawks missed 11 lay-ups, an alarming number for a shot that should come automatically to most Big 12 players.
Arthur said that at times the big men went soft and might have been worried about their lay-ups getting blocked.
"I think I just need to get up and dunk more," he said. "I was a little bit anxious trying to get them up there, so I wasn't taking my time. I just need to gather myself and go strong."
If they can get the opportunities, the layhawks should have
an easier time tonight against the Bears. Baylor's strength comes mainly at the guard position, and Robinson is prepared for a spirited effort from those defenders.
"We're going to get everybody's best punch. That's why a lot of us came here," he said. "I think it does wear on us, but that's something we kind of expected coming to Kansas."
He'll play alongside sophomore guard Mario Chalmers and freshman guard Sherron Collins tonight, attempting to slow down the game and cut down the wasted possessions that Self counted in.
Saturday's game.
"When you get in the league, everybody said to play faster, faster, faster!" Self said. "We're playing too fast. We're trying to score early when it's not there."
It may not be as fun to watch as the run-and-gun style, but the Jayhawks are betting that by keeping the game slow that they can overpower the Bears tonight.

Baylor garners respect
>> BIG 12 BASKETBALL
BY MARK DENT
No Kansas basketball player would be foolish enough to give Baylor bulletin board material again.
Six years ago, former Jayhawk, Kenny Gregory was quoted as saying these words after two losses against Iowa State and Missouri: "It's not like we lost to Baylor."
A week later, Kansas went to Waco, Texas, and promptly fell behind by 25 points at halftime before losing 85-77 in what was one of the most surprising losses of the Roy Williams era.
Oh how times have changed. No longer is Baylor the Big 12 Conference bottom feeder and an embarrassment to lose to, and no longer do Kansas players even dare take the Bears as lightly as Gregory once did.
"They are just a good, solid team," junior center Sasha Kaun said.
Junior guard Russell Robinson expressed similar respect.
" Their guards are real good," he said.
It's been a long and tragic process, but in its 11th year in the Big 12, Baylor is becoming a respectable program with the help of coach Scott Drew.
Anything resembling respectability seemed unattainable for the Bears since they joined the Big 12 in 1996. After finishing 500 in conference play in 1998, Baylor has finished 6-10 or worse every year since, including an 0-16 mark in 1999.
None of those poor statistics hurt the Bears as much as the scandal that embroiled the team in 2003.
Former player Carlton Dotson was convicted of killing teammate Patrick Dennehy, and in the aftermath, it was revealed that then-coach Dave Bliss committed several rules infractions. The NCAA put the program on probation. Bliss resigned and Baylor needed a miracle worker to resurrect its basketball team.
Enter Drew.
Drew, who worked as assistant and head coach at Valparaiso from 1993 to 2003, came to Waco, Texas, with a reputation as a great recruiter

Freshman improves in Big 12 play

"We all just stood there and thought, 'Wow, she just dunked the ball.'" Mosley said.
Though coach Bonnie Henrickson didn't witness Weddington's dunk, she didn't seem quite as surprised as the rest of the crowd.
"She's athletic and plays around

"I wasn't down there to see it but of
the five people that told me, I believe
two of them."
The Jayhawks will need her best game yet to slow the production Kansas State forward Claire Coggins, who averages 13 points a game.
Weddington is expected to make her eighth start of the season at Kansas State tonight.
When Weddington didn't come off the bench at the beginning of the season, Henrickson said the freshman simply wasn't ready yet and didn't know when her time would come. Not only has her time come in the middle of Big 12 Conference play, but Weddington could be the best post option the lawhaves have.
"She's been a great presence inside,"
Mosley said. "Especially with Marja
out right now."
Sophomore forward Marjia Zinic has missed the last two games with a stress fracture in her tibia and when, or if, she returns has not been determined.
In conference play, Weddington leads all Big 12 freshmen, averaging more than five rebounds per game. She also has been getting better at going up strong with offensive rebounds in an attempt to turn them into fouls or points.
Kansas has not missed a beat with
Weldington in her place.
"We're trying to build her confidence up," Mosley said. "She can elevate really well because she's so strong."
Although Weddington is averaging just four points a game in Big 12 play, it's the consistency the Jayhawks need in the post.
That's something Zinc struggled with earlier in the year. She would often score double digits in one game, but follow that with lackluster stats
tics in both points and rebounds in the next game. Weddington has no doubt that her consistency will yield more impressive numbers later in the season.
"There's a lot of room for improvement," she said, "I feel like I can be more effective on offense."
Weddington was one of seven highly touted recruits Kansas landed last year. The daughter of former Green Bay Packer's linebacker Michael Weddington was named all-district four years in high school and all-state in her junior and senior seasons.

NBA age restriction good for college fans
When the NBA decided to institute an age limit requiring players to be 19 years old to enter the draft, potential early entry candidates complained that the rule was unfair and rightfully so.
But their loss is college basketball fans gain.
BY KAYVON SARRAF
Nearly every night, fans have a chance to tune in and watch superstar talent that has no business ever setting foot on a college campus.
KANSAN.COLUMNIST
K_SARRAF@KANSAN.COM
A week ago, we had the pleasure of witnessing one of the greatest games in Big 12 Conference history when Oklahoma State defeated Texas 105-103 in triple overtime. Leading the way for Texas with 37 points and 11 rebounds was 6-foot-10 phenom Kevin Durant. For those that have not yet seen Durant play, tune in while you have the chance. Durant has a combination of size and skill that may come around once in decade. He is still exneperienced and will have off nights, as evidenced by his 4-for-15 shooting game against Villanova. But his averages of 24 points and 12 rebounds a game make him a legitimate candidate for National Player of the Year honors.
"Monster" really is the only word that can describe Oden. At 280 pounds and coordination not seen from a big man since a kid from LSU named Shaquille O'Neal entered the league. Oden puts the fear of God into any opponent who enters the lane. He made Indiana's All-Big Ten Conference center DJ. White look like a child, blocking four shots while holding him to 3-for-14 shooting. Hes also averaging 15 points and nine rebounds per game shooting left handed while his surgically repaired right wrist heals.
Durant's play has even garnered discussion of him possibly being the No.1 overall pick in June's NBA draft, ahead of Ohio State's seven-foot monster Greg Oden.
Durant and Oden are just a few of the players who would otherwise likely be in the NBA, a league recently focused more on drafting potential than proven production, as evidenced by the seven high school players taken in the first round in 2004. Versatile forward Brandon Wright is No. 2 North Carolina's second-leading score.
Thaddeus Young and Javaris Crittenson have led Georgia Tech to a 13-5 record following an abysmal 10-17 campaign a season ago. Daequan Cook, Mike Conley Jr., and David Lighty team with Oden to help the Buckeyes to a top five ranking and give them perhaps the nation's best freshman class since Michigan's Fab Five in 1992. D.J. Augustin and Damion James team with Durant to make Texas a team that no one wants to face come March, despite the departures of three players to the NBA, Kansas' Darrell Arthur is the Jayhawks' second-leading scorer and has admitted he would have considered the draft. Imagine the Jayhawks without Arthur this season.
Thanks to the age limit, "youth" is no longer an excuse. The Jayhawks, whose major contributors include two freshmen, three sophomores and three juniors, are one of the more veteran teams ranked in the top ten. Florida won the national title a season ago starting four sophomores, North Carolina's top nine includes five freshmen and three sophomores, while UCLAs top eight includes five sophomores and three juniors.
Washington big man Spencer Hawes has post moves not seen since Nick Collision was around and Arizona's human pogo stick Chase Budinger makes Arizona one of the buds most entertaining teams.
That's not all.
The time to win in college basketball is now. Talented players will not be around for long. Teams led by freshmen will make runs to the Final Four. So sit back and enjoy the gift given to us college basketball fans alike by the NBA.

DUKE LACROSSE
Attorney receives extension to respond to State Bar
DURHAM, N.C. — Mike Nifong, the Durham district attorney who removed himself from the Duke lacrosse sexual assault case has received an extension to respond to the ethics complaint filed against him by the North Carolina State Bar for his handling of the allegations.
He was initially scheduled to answer by Tuesday. His lawyer, David Freedman, said he was given
more time, though the deadline was unsure.
The State Bar complaint alleges that Nifong violated ethics rules by making public comments about the lacrosse team in the early weeks of the case.
Three players have been charged with sexual offense and kidnapping stemming from a March 13,2006, team party at which a stripper hired by the team said she was attacked.

PROJECTED 2007 LINEUP
BIG CHANGES UPCOMING FOR BASEBALL
BY ALISSA BAUER
Editors Note: With the start of the baseball season less than two weeks away, Kansan baseball reporter Alissa Bauer offers her projections on the starting lineup for the upcoming season.
After returning an almost complete lineup from the 2005 season, Kansas had the seniors and the experience to be successful in 2006.
Seizing the opportunity, the layhawks won their first Big 12 Tournament Championship, advancing to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1994.
However, in the final game of 2006, half of the jayhawks' starting position players, plus the game's starting pitcher and the closer, were on their last year of eligibility. The first four hitters in that 2006 season finale lineup combined for a .321 batting average on the season and included several All-Big 12 players.
This year, those first tour hitters are gone.
"It's going to be different," said Erik Morrison, junior third baseman turned shortstop. "I don't even know how to say it — it's going to be different."
The holes left in the top half of the 2006 lineup are balanced by the second half of the order that returns this season. Though Kansas did lose its leading RBI man and the player with the highest batting average, a fair share of offensive power is back this spring.
ly trailed Gus Milner with 52 RBI Junior outfielder Brock Simpson garnered lead off experience during former center fielder Matt Baty's nearly six-week long injury recovery last season.
Morrison led the l Jayhawks with 14 home runs last season and bare-
"There's definitely some big shoes to fill, but if you look at our production in the latter half of the lineup towards the end of last year, you know the capability is there," Morrison said.
The addition of the third Price brother to sport a Jayhawk uniform, Robby, is expected to pay off quickly. The four-time first-team All-Sunflower Conference player from Lawrence's Free State High School is likely to start at third base on opening day, moving Morrison to shortstop.
"It's their time to move in," Morrison said of the freshmen and new players. "And either take the challenge and step up or take the challenge and fail. But failure is not an option on this team, so were going to battle through it."
Junior outfielder John Allman, who picked up an All Big 12 second team nod last season, is the only true starter slated to return to the outfield. Although limited, Simpson did prove his ability to play right field, while junior Casey Larson is a prime candidate for center.
Despite the extensive lineup alterations, nothing will look more different in 2007 than the Jayhawks pitching staff.
Not one weekend starter will retake the mound this spring.
Starters Kodiak Quick and Ricky Fairchild each completed their eligibility last season and currently pitch with Major League organizations. Left-handed Sean Land would have returned for his senior season, but he was one of the record-high seven jayhawks to be taken in last year's Major League Baseball draft.
Price and his staff went to work and brought in arms from a variety of places, including big-name baseball universities.
Junior letty Zach Ashwood comes to Kansas this season from Texas Christian University and sophomore right-hander Brett Bollman transferred from Arkansas this fall.
Sophomore southpaw Nick Czyz continuously improved on the mound last season, peaking with his victory against Nebraska in the championship game of the Big 12 Tournament. He will be a likely contender for a spot in the rotation, but it's replacing his older brother Don, who was named National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association Stopper of the Year, that is likely to create the biggest challenge.
"I think that we'll be fine," Ashblood said. "We have a good staff it's just that nobody knows about it since most of the guys are young"
Price made sure to work sophomore right-hander Paul Smyth in at closer knowing full well someone would have to step up and fill the large shoes Czry left behind.

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL PREVIEW
KANSAS VS. KANSAS STATE 7TONIGHT, BRAMLAGE COLISEUM, MANHATTAN, FSN
Offense
Freshman guard Kelly Kohn had established herself as Kansas' primary scoring threat earlier in the season. She's still the team's leading scorer, averaging 10.7 points per game, but has fallen into a slump. In the last two games, Kohn has scored only seven points while shooting just 11 percent from the field. Shaquina Mosley has done everything in her power to balance Kohn's troubles. The senior guard scored a career-high 19 points against Iowa State on Saturday. The Jayhawks will need someone else to assist Mosley in the scoring department tonight. Kansas State's offensive production has been consistent all year. Forward Claire Coggins and guard Kimberly Dietz are both averaging double digits in points.
Defense
Advantage:
C
If Kansas State has done its homework, the Wildcats will implement a zone defense against Kansas. The Jayhawk offense has looked uncomfortable all year against the zone. Iowa State's decision to run the zone held Kansas to 48 points on 28 percent shooting. Senior guard Sharita Smith and junior forward Taylor Mcntosh are in the starting lineup solely for defense. Even with the two, Kansas' defense has given up an average of 68 points to conference opponents. The Wildcats are holding opponents to 34 percent shooting, and forward Shana Wheeler has 36 blocks. Kansas State also has a size advantage, especially with Kansas sophomore forward Marija Zinic injured. The Wildcats will look to exploit the mismatch and grind out points in the paint.
Momentum
Kansas State has lost two straight games after being ranked No. 25 in the nation. The losses, however, were both to Big 12 opponents on the road. Kansas finally broke its seven game losing streak a week ago with a victory against Sacramento State, but they followed that performance with an embarrassing 27 point loss to Iowa State. The Jayhawks are still looking for their first conference win and currently sit at 0-5 in the Big 12 Conference. The Wildcats are 2-3 in conference play but are eager to get back to a national ranking with an overall record of 14-4. It's been more than five years since Kansas last defeated Kansas State, which puts all the pressure on the lavwhaws.

NHL
Disputes persist for Penguins Arena negotiations force team to threaten to leave city
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PITTSBURGH Gov. Ed Rendell said Tuesday that should arena negotiations with the Pittsburgh Penguins break down and the team decided to move, the state might ask the National Hockey League to intercede.
Rendell, responding to Penguins owner Mario Lemieux's comments that last week's arena talks had taken a step backward, said the latest proposal was so good that he couldn't imagine that the NHL would allow the Penguins to leave.
Rendell said the latest proposal called for the Penguins to pay less than 18 percent of the arena's cost — a reference to the percentage of PNC Park's construction covered by the Pirates. The Penguins' arena is projected at $290 million, but could cost more.
The state's other major sports teams — the NFLs Eagles and Steelers, the NBAs 76ers, the NFLs Flyers and baseball's Phillies — all paid a higher percentage. Rendell said. Philadelphia's 76ers and Flyers share the Wachovia Center, which was built mostly with private funds.
As one incentive, the Penguins would keep all revenue for non-hockey events, except for some parking fees — a provision that could not
them millions of dollars per year.
However, Lemieux said he was "very disappointed" with Thursday's negotiations involving the team and state, county and city leaders.
The Penguins were surprised when they were asked to share development rights near Mellon Arena with Detroit businessman Don Barden. The successful bidder for a Pittsburgh slot machines parlor, Barden has agreed to contribute $7.5 million per year to the arena.
"As always, we're going to explore our options," Lemieux said in Dallas, where he was attending the NHL All-Star game. "When we get a deal we like, we'll sign it."
Penguins officials, including Lemieux, visited Kansas City immediately before the first round of arena talks Jan. 4. The team is weighing whether to visit Houston's Tovota Center.
"Sooner or later, we're just going to make a decision and go with it," Lemieux said.
At his All-Star news conference Tuesday, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said there was no set date for the Penguins to decide whether to stay or leave.
"My hope is that a building on terms that make sense to the fram
chise will be achievable in Pittsburgh and this will become a non-issue." Bettman said, "But at some point in the not-too-distant future, in a matter of weeks, we have to start focusing with some certainty on what the (2007-08) schedule is going to look like.
"Time is of the essence, but I wouldn't want to portray an urgency today," he said.
The Penguins, despite playing in the NHL's oldest arena, are considered one of the league's strongest U.S. franchises. They are playing to nearly 95 percent of arena capacity — a much higher percentage than teams based in Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, Washington, Miami and Atlanta.
Despite the lack of progress last week. Rendell said he was not discouraged.
"I've done about four of these stadium negotiations either as mayor (of Philadelphia) or governor and this is the way it goes." Rendell said. "One side says things are looking good, then the other side says 'No, you haven't satisfied our demands, we're going to look elsewhere.' There's give and take."

>> KANSAS VS. K-STATE, 7 TONIGHT, FSN
'Hawks need strong showing Wildcats have owned season series the past four years
BY ASHER FUSCO
More than 2,000 days have passed since the Kansas women's basketball team last defeated Kansas State.
Since January of 2001, the Wildcats have handed the Jayhawks 11 straight losses by an average margin of 21 points.
"They have a lot of talented kids," Henrickson said. "Their freshmen are a year older and wiser."
To call this once healthy rivalry one-sided would be an enormous understatement, but the Jayhawks will have to overcome more than history when they visit the Wildcats Wednesday night. After languishing near the bottom of the Big 12 standings for many years, Kansas State has emerged as a team worthy of respect.
Coach Bonnie Henrickson has failed to defeat Kansas State in five tries and knows her team will face a stiff challenge in Manhattan.
Kansas State's most valuable asset is its smothering defense.
Though the Wildcats are in the midst of a two-game losing streak, they have posted a 14-4 overall record and spent one week in the Top 25 this season.
Forward Shana Wheeler has performed admirably on the defensive end in the place of injured for
ward Marlies Gipson. Wheeler's 36 blocked shots have helped the Wild-cats hold opponents to a stifling 34 percent field goal percentage.
Kansas State's main offensive duties are split equally between two guards, Claire Coggins and Kimberly Dietz. The two guards
have combined to attempt almost half of the team's field goals this season, and each is averaging more than 12 points per contest.
to avoid becoming its own worst enemy. The lajahawks' play has been frustrating in recent weeks because of inconsistent contributions.
In addition to a talented group of players, Kansas State

will have an electric environment at Bramlage Coliseum working to its advantage Wednesday. Though the Kansas State faithful have been notoriously hesitant to embrace the men's basketball program, the fans seem to turn out in drove in support of the women's team.
"They have an absolutely great atmosphere." Henrickson said. "It's a great fan base that has been very supportive and helps them be successful at home."
With out injured sophomore forward Marija Zinic, Kansas has struggled to score or defend in the low post. Freshman forward Porscha Weddington and junior forward Taylor McIntosh have shown flashes of strong play but have struggled against larger opponents in the team's five conference losses.
No matter how Kansas State plays Wednesday, Kansas will have
Whether it is Kohn, McIntosh or some other Jayhawk, someone will need to step up if the Jayhawks hope to reverse the course of history in Manhattan.

Roddick dominates down under
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MELBOURNE, Australia — Andy Roddick was ruthless, treating his close friend like little more than warmup fodder for his semifinal showdown with Roger Federer.
The 2003 U.S. Open champion flattened Mardy Fish without blinking Tuesday, making only four unforced errors in a 6-2, 6-2, 6-2

"I tried my best to kind of put our friendship to the back of my head," Roddick said. "You know, it's

Next up is how to beat Federer, something he has not managed since Montreal in 2003. That was the year he ended at No.1 and collected his only major title.

Timberwolves fire second-year coach
Minnesota Timberwolves head coach Dwane Casey coaches his now-former team in an NBA basketball game against the Houston Rockets on Jan. 7. The Timberwolves fired Casey on Tuesday. Assistant coach Randy Wittman will replace him.
Jim Mone/ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Casey, in his first head coaching job, was unable to solve the Timberwolves' inconsistencies and push them back into the thick of the competitive Western Conference, prompting vice president of basketball operations Kevin McHale to make the move.
MINNEAPOLIS — The Timberwolves fired coach Dwane Casey on Tuesday, one day after Minnesota lost its fourth consecutive game and only 1 1/2 seasons since he took over.
"We were at a point as a team where we were just treading water," McHale said. "The ups and downs, we just couldn't find any consistency."
The Timberwolves looked to be turning the corner at the start of the new year, when they opened 2007 with seven victories in their first eight games.
But they lost their next four games, including one to Phoenix without leading scorers Kevin Garnett and Ricky Davis, who were suspended. Garnett was suspended by the league for a confrontation with Detroit's Antonio McDVess, while Davis was suspended by the team for acting out during Friday night's game with the Pistons.
Casey and his agent did not immediately return messages left by The Associated Press.
Assistant coach Randy Wittman will take over as interim coach. The Wolves brought Wittman and longtime assistant Bob Ociepka onto Casey's staff for this season, hoping an influx of experience on the bench would help the first-time head coach with his game management.
That wasn't good enough for Wolves owner Glen Taylor, who wants his team to return to the form that made it a Western Conference finalist in 2004.
While the teams has shown some improvement this season, especially in closing out close games, the inconsistencies on both ends of the floor left them 20-20 following Monday night's 106-91 loss at Utah.
"We just had these unbelievable
swings inside of a week, inside of a game," McHale said. "We were just very erratic."
Now it's Wittman's turn. It will be his second try as a head coach, having compiled a 62-102 record
in two seasons with Cleveland from 1999-01.
Wittman is plenty familiar with the Timberwolves, having served as an assistant here in three different stints for a total of 10 seasons.
"He knows Kevin, our top player, very, very well." McHale said. "Witt's going to be the coach for the rest of the year. I fully anticipate Randy being here a long time."

and getting to the basket.
I call that play "Sherron Collins."
Recently, Collins has been the only player with the fortitude to consistently get to the basket. Brandon Rush has shown some glimpses of his genius in the lane, but they've been scarce at best. If players like Rush, Wright and Collins can slash to the basket it will open up opportunities for easy plays to the post or kick out for an open three.
It was this style of ball, paired with our good defense, that helped us defeat national players like Florida and Oklahoma State.
I don't want my criticism to sound like bashing.
I'm just venting along with the rest of the Jayhawk nation. They're still my pick to beat North Carolina in the championship this year, 98-17. Sasha Kaun will dominate Tyler Hansbrough.
For tonight though, the team needs that motivation to heat up and play like the studs they are. One point of motivation for tonight's game is Darrell Arthur. He, at one point, was actually going to play for Baylor, not Kansas.
That decision is like contemplating being the CEO of Microsoft versus mopping bathrooms at Dairy Queen. Sure, you could get free ice cream, but then again you still work at Dairy Queen.
Baylor will have that little spark to get back at Arthur, which will hopefully show them what they missed out on by leading Kansas to a 20-point victory.
Another concept to think about for tonight's game is the level of competition Baylor will give us. Baylor is roughly as good as, say, a first-round opponent that Kansas could face come March. The Jayhawks should use this game as practice to see what it's like to beat a team you're supposed to, and then move on from it and beat other teams you're supposed to.
Regardless of what their motive turns out to be, it's time for the Jayhawks to play like the superstars they are. And I would expect them to figure out their roles by the midpoint of conference play and to be playing at full force in time for March Madness.

One of Drew's top recruiting coups is guard Aaron Bruce, who Self called "a legitimate, big time guard." Bruce, a native Australian, was named 2004 Big 12 Freshman of the Year after averaging 18.2 points per game. His numbers are down slightly this year, in part because of the talent Drew has assembled around him.
"They went through so many negative things four of five years ago and they're back to the point where they are competing for high quality guys," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "It's only a matter of time before they're getting those guys consistently, and they've got some already."
Tweety Carter as players who average nine points or more. Rogers, jerrells, Dugat and Carter were top 100 recruits in high school, providing proof that Drew can draw top talent to Baylor.
Baylor's record doesn't sparkle this season. The Bears are 1-4 in conference games, but they lost to Oklahoma State on the road by four and led Kansas State in the last 10 minutes before falling.

Just because the Indianapolis Colts will represent the vastly superior AFC doesn't make them a Superinch in Miami.
Bears still viable contenders despite Colts-favoring odds
While the AFC went 40-24 against the NFC, including 3-1 for the Colts, the Chicago Bears aren't exactly an also-ran out of the weaker conference. Their 15-3 record is no mirage, even if 13 of those victories came within the NFC.
For more pertinent numbers, try
these: 44 takeaways during the season, tops in the league, and another five in the playoffs. The four in the NFC title game against New Orleans, the top-rated offense in football, led to a rout.
And these: Chicago has scored 66 points in two postseason games. That 33-point average is far better than Indy's 25.3.
Put the stats aside, though, because what the Bears achieved in 2006 and the first month of 2007 generally was against softer opposition than what the Colts faced. Look to this, instead; Chicago has just as many playmakers as Indy. It's just as well coached. It has five players with Super Bowl experience; the Colts have five who could play on Feb. 4.
Plus, the Bears still have a mamoth boulder on their shoulder, even as a conference champion.
"We know what they're saying, that no matter who we would have played in the Super Bowl, wed be underdogs," safety Chris Harris said. "We use that as fuel."
doesn't deserve the acclaim. But the best Bears team in two decades could get somewhat ignored.
Peyton Manning is likely to get more attention in Miami and more air time and more headlines than all of the Bears combined. Not that the best quarterback of his generation
"As far as us being underdogs, if you look at what all the Colts bring to the table, I could see why they would make us underdogs," Bears coach Lovei Smith said, "but we've been in that role before and our guys like the underdog role.
"I wouldn't bet against the Bears if I were a betting man."
Neither would we with a 7 point spread. Here's a few reasons why the Bears just might do what the Patriots managed in 2002 and the Broncos in 1998, and upset a solid favorite.
There is a major mismatch here on kick returns. The Bears have the
Further along on the special teams theme, while Indy's Adam Vinatieri is the best clutch place-kicker in history. Chicago's Robbie Gould has had one of the most impressive seasons ever. Gould showed he has plenty of Vinatieri in him with a 49-yard field goal in overtime to defeat Seattle in the Bears' first playoff game.
Last Sunday, Ellis Hobbs, hardly in Hester's class, had six kickoff returns for 220 yards, including 80- and 40-yarders that set up scores for New England.

ENTERTAINMENT Anchor says resignation from her post not forced
CHICAGO - Elizabeth Vargas told Oprah Winfrey that she wasn't forced out as co-anchor of ABC's "World News Tonight," but decided to step down when she became pregnant with her second child.
"I was finding it more and more difficult to do that job the way I wanted to do it, which is 100 percent ... and still be a great mother,' Vargas, 44, said Tuesday on "The Oprah Winfrey Show."
Vargas, who is now co-hosting the network's newsmagazine, "20/20", said she learned she was pregnant just before her co-anchor, Bob Woodruff, was seriously injured by a roadside bomb in Iraq on Jan. 29, 2006.
"It was becoming difficult to juggle all that, do the job I wanted to do, and to be the mother I wanted to be," she told Winfrey.
In May, ABC, which is owned by the Walt Disney Co., announced that it had appointed Charles Gibson as anchor of the nightly news program.
Vargas said that when she announced she was stepping down, there was unfair criticism of ABC that she was pushed out of the job because she was pregnant.
Vargas gave birth to another son, Samuel Wyatt, in August.

Serena squeaks into semis Limited play doesn't stop Williams from advancing
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MELBOURNE, Australia — Serena Williams willed herself to win.
Sluggish early and constantly facing break points, she found just enough Tuesday to defeat 16th-seeded Shahar Peer 3-6, 6-2, 8-6 to advance to the Australian Open semifinals.
The former No. 1 player, who came in unseeded after playing only four matches last year due to injury and briefly dropping out of the top 100, stayed alive in her pursuit of an eighth Grand Slam title.
"I am the ultimate competitor" William said.
"Definitely ready to create some more carnage," she added with a smile. "I feel absolutely no pressure. I don't think anyone thought I would get this far, except for me and my mom."
Williams struggled at times against Peer, who was only able to convert three of 13 break opportunities. Williams also was able to shrug off letting a 4-1 lead slip away in the deciding set and then have to break Peer to stay in the match.
"I get so calm," Williams said of difficult patches. "I'm floating. I feel so happy. It just relaxes me and releases. It's just a pity it doesn't happen when I wake up 4."
American Serena Williams plays against Israel's Shahar Peer in her quarterfinal match Tuesday at the Australian Open tennis tournament in Melbourne, Australia. Williams won, 3-6 2-8 8-6.
Williams next faces 17-year-old Nicole Vaidisova, who defeated fellow Czech Lucie Safarova 6-1, 6-4.
What the Williams-Peer match lacked in skill — they combined for 83 unforced errors to 50 winners — it made up for in drama.
Williams, who said she has been fighting a bad cough, was moving like every point was a chore. She shrieked after errors as Peer jumped ahead 3-0 and was in disbelief as the Israeli finished off the first set.
"I think I put a little pressure on
Williams conceded a number of points, barely moving. Normally, she would be picking on Peer's weak serves, but instead was bashing them long or into the net.
myself going into this quarterfinal," Williams said. "I think I came out a little flat, started out a little slow. Maybe I was just a little nervous."
Peer had her chances to put the match away but abruptly lost her focus in the second set. Serving at 2-2, 15-30, she double-faulted, then committed six consecutive unforced errors.
Exp
Williams, urging herself on with shouts of "Come on!" and slaps to her thigh, took the last four games of the set and showed flashes of her old brilliance, smacking three of her 11 aces in one game.
"I actually got more confident in my serve as the match got on," Williams said. "I just started hitting it better, started feeling more confident about it."
But the problems continued. Williams faced break points in five of her seven service games in the deciding set. She broke Peer to jump ahead 3-1, only to see the Israeli tie it up at 4-4
Mark Baker/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Williams fended off five break
points in her next two service games.
Serving at 6-7, Peer sent a backhand
volley long to set up match point,
then a backhand wide.
Williams was given little chance coming into the tournament amid
questions about her fitness and preparation, and the victory was sweet vindication.
talking bad. You don't just knock someone so hard when they're trying just to make it. No one knows what I went through off the court. No one knows anything that I've been through."
NBA
Nuggets new start a success Mid-season roster changes don't deter Denver's drive
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — Maybe this wasn't the best year for George Karl to take his team on the road for some training camp bonding.
These Denver Nuggets aren't the same ones who gathered in Durango in October.
Joe Smith, Andre Miller, Earl Boykins and Julius Hodge are all playing in the Eastern Conference now. Kenyon Martin is a sidelined spectator, and the backcourt now consists of Allen Iverson and Steve Blake.
In their minds, the Nuggets' season started anew Monday night when Carmelo Anthony, the NBA's leading scorer, returned from his 15—game punishment for fighting and teamed with A.I. for 51 points, 13 assists, countless highlights and abundant open looks all around in an emphatic win over Memphis.
"It was fun," Iverson said. "The future looks bright for us."
Just wait, advised Anthony.
With everybody getting open shots and Marcus Camby holding things down in the paint, the Nuggets suddenly look like a contender.
"We have something really special," forward Eduardo Najera said.
"We ain't even clicking the way we're going to be clicking next month or the month after that," he said. "March and April, that's the best time to click. I think once we get our stuff together, it's going to be trouble."
"The chemistry is going to get better with everybody, not just me and Carmelo," Iverson concurred. "Everybody hasn't clicked so far. We need more games and time to practice together."
A seven time All-Star acquired from Philadelphia last month, Iverson insists he's thrilled to play
second fiddle to Melo. Having a second superstar on his team along with a pass-first point guard allows him a freedom he's never had in his 11 NBA seasons.
game-high 28 points against the Grizzlies.
"He missed a lot of shots that he usually can make with his eyes closed," Iverson said. "But that is all about having timing and getting into a rhythm. For someone that hasn't played in 15 games, he looked like an All-Star to me."
"I have been on teams where I scored 50 points
"March and April, that's the best time to click. I think once we get our stuff together, it's going to be trouble."
CARMELO ANTHONY Forward
and lost," Iverson said. "That is tough. And when you have so many good players around you, it makes it that much easier and makes the game that much more fun. I'm not saying that I don't play 110 percent anyway. I'm going to do that regardless, because I will never disrespect the talent that God gave me.
Iverson is already calling this the most talented team he've ever been on, and that's saying a lot for a guy who led the Sixers to the NBA finals in 2001.
"I play 110, but I don't have to do all the things I had to do in Philadelphia. Here, I feel like if I go out and struggle, we can still win the game."
Anthony struggled with his shooting touch, missing all eight of his jumpers, but still managed a
"It's not even close," Iverson said. "I could go through the
whole squid and name somebody that can impact a game. I have never been a part of a team like that. I feel like I can play four more quarters. Usually after a game, I'm done."
Anthony, too, is refreshed, about the only positive result from his five-week ban from basketball for punching Knicks guard Mardy Collins on Dec. 16.
"I'm not saying that I'm glad that incident happened," Anthony said, "but in a way, I am glad that I got a break, got a chance to sit back and analyze things and get my mind together and see what I need to do out there on the court and off the court."

KU TIP-OFF WHAT'S AT STAKE
KU
TIP-OFF
A loss would likely bring back out the naysayers who went into hiding after a string of big victories to open the month. The Jayhawks are also playing to protect their position at the top of the Big 12. Right now, Texas A&M is the only team that is undefeated in conference play, and Kansas doesn't want to fall two games back.
STAR WATCH
Junior center Sasha Kaun will be at the heart of the Jay-
Karen
hawk offense tonight, and will probably have the opportunity to score in the double-digits by the time the first half has
ended. "We have to understand what our strengths are and take advantage of them," coach Bill Self said Monday. Translations Sasha needs the ball more.
QUESTION MARK
CAN THE JAYHAWKS MAKE
THEIR LAYUPS?
Coach Bill Self expressed frustration at the 11 laysups that the team missed in Lubbock. "We work too hard to get them to not take advantage of them," he said. Look for the forwards to correct the problem with more dunks than usual.
3 REASONS KUWINS
ONE — The defense is too good not to, Kansas' defense has been playing tremendously over the past month, and no matter how few points the Jayhawks score, it's likely the Bears will score fewer.
TWO — Julian Wright will re-emerge as an offensive threat. His shot selection has been confusing recently, but against a Baylor team that is strong on guards he will play more of a true forward position.
**THREE** — It's not really a road game. Baylor will have a tame atmosphere compared to the last two arenas Kansas has played in.
COUNTDOWN TO TIP-OFF GAME DAY
BEARING DOWN Jayhawks look to get back on winning track
KANSAS VS. BAYLOR 7 p.m.Tonight, Ferrell Center, Waco, Texas, Channel 15
Kansas 16-3,3-1 Big 12
Offense
The Jayhawks will try to slow down the tempo on offense after rushing shots throughout Saturday's game. An emphasis will be getting junior center Sasha Kaun plenty of opportunities to use his size advantage under the basket
The team is also struggling to find its identity in crunch time. The Jayhawks have seven players who each share their load of the work. Coach Bill Self said that having balance was a huge blessing, but it could also be a curse. Toward the end of the game, he'll draw up the plays for whomever has the hot hand that day.
KU KU
Defense
To improve the defense's performance, more also needs to happen under the net on offense. Self may ask more players to try for offensive rebounds, which will cut down on the number of players back to set up defensively.
You have to nitpick to find things that are wrong with the Jayhawk defense. Shredding apart Texas Tech's motion offense was the latest in a long line of accomplishments for the unit.
KU KU KU KU
Baylor 11-7, 1-4 Big 12
Offense
The Bears have one of the conference's best backcourts with Curtis Jerrells, Aaron Bruce and Henry Dugat. Freshman Tweetie Carter comes off the bench to further strengthen this group of guards. The four guards are a big reason Baylor is second in three-pointers made in the Big 12. Inside, sophomore Kevin Rogers teams up with this group to make it a formidable offensive unit. The only problem is the offense underachieves against good teams. Baylor scored 90 points or more against teams such as Angelo State and Prairie View A&M, but against conference opponents, the Bears are putting up less than 63 points per game.
BBB
Ninety-one. That's all anyone needs to know about this sorry defensive bunch. The Bears gave up 91 points to Oklahoma, which hadn't scored more than 80 points in more than a month, and lost by 40 points last Saturday. Baylor has one of the worst defenses in the Big 12 mainly because it can't force turnovers. The Bears average only 6.2 steals per game and are 11th in turnover margin. For an underdog to have a chance, it needs to produce turnovers.

Saturday was the Jayhawks first conference loss, so there's no way of knowing exactly how the team will react. The Jayhawks will be favored to win, and as long as they can execute their offense, they shouldn't have much of a problem with the Bears. Going on the road also won't be as much of a problem at Baylor. The first two conference road games were against Iowa State and Texas Tech, schools that have a loud and large fan base. Baylor doesn't have the same level of support, and its proximity to Dallas will allow a large number of Kansas alumni will make the trek in for the game.

long Baylor more than a zero for category would be a crime. the way the Bears got handled by the Sooners last weekend is unforgivable. Before the season started, Baylor was a darkhorse pick to finish in the top half of the league and now only Missouri has less Big 12 victories. If Baylor wants to be a contender in this conference or even stay out of the cellar, it can't get stomped by an average Oklahoma team. That result and the loss to Kansas State in which Baylor gave up an 11-point second half lead have sapped any momentum this team gained after defeating Texas Tech on Jan. 13.

TIP-OFF
WHAT'S AT STAKE?
Legitimacy. Baylor at the very least needs to play competitively tonight against Kansas. After losing by 40 to Oklahoma, Baylor has to show that it isn't the same group that was laughed at for much of the Big 12 existence. A strong showing or a victory gives Baylor a chance to turn around its so-far disappointing season.
STAR WATCH
Freshman guard Tweety Carter has the potential to be a big time scorer. He's only averaging 9.5 points per game, but he can put up points in a hurry. The Reserve Christian School (La.) product scored 5.748 points in
CENTER
Carter
four years, good for second on the all-time high school scoring list. He should also be inspired after a 2-for-10 shooting performance against Oklahoma.
**THREE** — Sophomore Curtis Jerrells had a big game against Kansas last year, scoring 17 points. Jerrells is a dangerous three-point shooter, and the Jayhawks have had a tendency to give up too many shots from long range this season — only two Big 12 teams have allowed more attempts.
HOW BIG OF AN IMPACT WILL AARON BRUCE HAVE?
Bruce, Baylor's third-leading scorer, has been in a shooting slump more than a year. He averaged about 18 points per game on 47 percent shooting his freshman season but hasn't been the same. Now, Bruce is averaging only 11.4 points per game on 41 percent shooting. If Bruce is on, as he was when he lit up Texas Tech for 24 points in a victory, Baylor has a chance to beat anyone in this conference.
**TWO** — Unlike its opponent, Kansas is under a lot of pressure. Losing two straight conference games would be considered blasphemy by Jayhawk fans. If Baylor jumps out on Kansas early, Kansas' burden could get even heavier, opening the door for an upset.
QUESTION MARK
ONE — Baylor has no pressure.Even the NIT appears to be a long shot. Baylor can come out relaxed against Kansas and simply hope for the best.

BREAKING NEWS
These two high school teammates could easily be on the same college team. Arthur nearly went to Baylor, and Rogers was recruited by Kansas. Rogers, a sophomore, has had an extra year to hone his game in college, but Arthur is probably the better player. Arthur has more polished low post moves and is a better shot blocker, with 37 swats compared to 20 for Rogers. That said, Arthur could have the jitters since he will be playing close to his Dallas home, giving Rogers the opportunity to shine in this duel.

Unlike current guidelines, which cannot regulate individual bars, the city would be able to restrict a piece of land's license to sell alcohol. Music venues that serve alcohol would fall under the guidelines as well.
Corliss said the object of the plan was not to harass owners, but to improve the safety of the entire industry and surrounding businesses.

Funding for research increases nearly 50 percent

PARKING

Facility threatens student parking
The consistent construction delays of the replacement parking lot near Memorial Stadium are prolonging students' and officials' anxieties about available parking.
The new lot will replace spaces removed from yellow lots 59 and 91, immediately southeast and southwest of the stadium, to make room for the Anderson Family Football Complex. The parking lot is set to be built on the hill between JRP Hall and Memorial Stadium. It was originally set to begin construction last fall, said Warren Corman, University architect, but construction proposals were consistently over budget. The University was also waiting on a storm water permit that they received this week. Corman said that Turner Construction would begin the construction once the budget issues are solved.
Corman estimated that the lot would use about $1.5 million of the football facility's $31 million budget, Corman said the replacement lot would be finished before the other lots were torn up.
Previous plans for the project estimated that 419 spots would be displaced, but Corman said that number was not concrete. He said that he hoped it would be closer to 280. Corman said the goal for the new lot is to replace every spot but plans are still under way and are

A new transit service called the K-10 Connector Route is transporting students between the University of Kansas Lawrence and Edwards campuses, Johnson County Community College and Haskell Indian Nations University.
The new route was a result of student requests and a study done by the Kansas Department of Transportation that called for using Kansas Highway 10 for a commuter express service.

Q&A with
Professor Michelle Hayes
I teach in the Music and Dance department, but I teach dance.
2. Why did you decide to teach at the University of Kansas?
1. In what department do you teach?
BY RICHELLE BUSER
I graduated from the dance program at KU in 1991. I danced professionally, worked as the artistic director at the Colorado Dance Festival and had worked on several funding panels. I had become too busy to teach dance and I just really felt that it was my true calling. When my mentor, a KU teacher of mine, retired last year, there was an opening for her job. I decided I wanted to live as an artist and teach again.
3. What is your favorite thing to do outside of dance?
After graduating from KU, I eventually went to the University of California at Riverside where I earned my PH in dance history and theory.
I love experiencing live music, doing yoga and reading.
4. Where did you get your degree?
5. What is your favorite thing about Lawrence?
I love that Lawrence combines
cosmopolitan art, culture and food with the simplicity of a small town.
6. What is something your students don't know about you?
7. If you had any other career,
what would it be? Why?
Before becoming a professor, I was constantly performing. At their age, I was working hard and knew that dancing was my calling. I have always been a passionate performer.
I would be a midwife. I would love to be a guardian of new life coming into the world.
9. What was the best class you took while in college?
10. If you lived anywhere besides Lawrence, where would it be? Why?
8. What's your favorite food?
Olive oil. I love Mediterranean
food and all of my favorites con-
tain olive oil.
An English class about African American writers. It was truly life changing.
I'd enjoy living in Spain. The flamenco is my favorite dance, and if I lived in Spain I would be minutes away from others that enjoy this dance. It's difficult to find people that share my interest for the flamenco here in Kansas.

Jumping wallaby sighted in Pennsylvania backyard
FLEETWOOD, Pa. — Berks County Humane Society employees are trying to get the jump on a wallaby
Residents have reported seeing the creature hopping around town. It's unclear how one ended up about 50 miles northwest of Philadelphia.
Wallabies, which look similar to kangaroos, are native to Australia and Papua New Guinea.
The agency received its first report of a wallaby sighting on Monday from a man who had seen the animal in his backyard over the weekend, humane society officer Dylan Heckart said.
Officials have since set traps baited with food in areas where the creature has been seen, said Heckart.
Members of the public were advised to keep their distance if they spot the animal.
"They're violent when confined or restrained! Heckart said Tuesday, noting wallabies' powerful kicking legs. "They can definitely injure a human being badly."
The Leigh Valley Zoo, 20 miles away in Schneckville, said it was not missing a wallaby.
Third time's the charm for Parakeet owner
BRADENTON, Fla. — Teaching a parakeet to putt is no tap-in.
David Cota spent months training his parakeet A., to use a tiny titter to sink putts on a miniature green.

A. J. can also dunk a tiny basketball on a tiny court. He rolls over. He shakes. He plays dead.
The 5-inch-tall bird became an Internet video star thanks to Web sites like YouTube. A.J. also has a MySpace page and a Web site.
Cota, 38, owes his fame to two dead parakeets.
The first bird belonged to a college girlfriend. Cota was left to care for it, and it died.
"A fluke," he insists. He tried to slip in a replacement parakeet — and ended up single with plenty of free time to train his new pet parakeet, ...

Reverend and Rabbi share kidneys, accord
PHILADELPHIA — Talk about in-
terfaith association Methodist Rev. Karen Onesti has donated a kidney to Reform Rabbi Andrew Bossoy.
The two leaders of congregations in the Philadelphia suburbs of Mount Laurel, N.J., underwent kidney transplant surgery Tuesday, said Rick Cushman, spokesman for the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, where the procedure was performed.
"Everything went exceptionally well," Cushman said. "The procedure was a success and the prognosis is success."
The surgery took just over 3/12 hours. By Tuesday night, both patients were awake and visiting with their families.
The clerics have known each other for four years.

Class joins film and Internet
TECHNOLOGY
Graduate film students entered the world of cyberspace this week.
The department of theater and film offered a new class this semester for graduate students. The class introduces students to life in cyber culture and teaches about theory and production of films in cyber space.
"It's a groundbreaking class." Stacey Fox, technical director in film studies, said.
Similar to classes being taught at institutions like New York University and Harvard University, the class puts the University's film program up to the educational standard held by these universities in regards to technology, Catherine Preston, professor of theater and film, said.
Preston and Fox co-teach the class called New Media and Cyber Culture.
"New Media and Cyber Culture offers students the philosophy they need if they are going to be writing, teaching, researching or critiquing films," Preston said.
Fox believes the class gives students the tools to both produce and critique.
"You can't critique a film unless you've made one yourself." Fox said.
The class gives graduate students the opportunity to produce MACHINIMA. While obtaining the tools they need to teach and research within the field, MACHINIMA is the combination of film and machines within a synthetic world to create a product with graphics similar to those in video games.
Brian Faucette, Boone, N.C.
"With technology rapidly changing the class will help me to know what film is, how it's distributed and how people are going to interact on a daily basis," Fauccite said.
doctoral student enrolled in the new media class. Faucette said he thought the class would benefit him as an aspiring teacher.
The class is essentially two parts, interaction and studies. The interactive portion of the class allows for the students to enter the cyber culture though secondlife.com, a Web site where students create an animated character called an avatar to portray themselves, much like World of Warcraft. Fox holds her office hours through Second Life, rather than in her office. Students use the character they created to talk to and interact with Fox's character via the Internet.
The studies portion of the class focuses on issues in net neutrality, the exploration of manipulating time and space and media reform.
"In class we'll put theory and practice together," Faucette said of the classes.components.
Next semester Fox and Preston plan to offer similar classes for undergraduate students.
"People tend to look at a new technology like it will create a utopia by solving all of our problems or a dystopia in that society will suffer from it. We are informing these grad students to teach it as a social and cultural tool," Preston said.

KU, Haskell students unite to help Lawrence community
SERVICE
BY KATY BLAIR
The University of Kansas and Haskell Indian Nations University are teaming up this semester to improve the Lawrence community.
Students in a sociology course at the University and a social welfare course at Haskell are committing to community service hours for a new service learning project. This combined effort is designed to assist various volunteer agencies in Lawrence.
"We have worked a lot to realize this event, but the work has really just begun." Tanya Golash-Boza, professor of sociology at the University, said.
Students involved in the project met Wednesday night at Haskell's Stidham Union to discuss the project and choose the agencies they will work with.
The project includes several agencies in Lawrence such as the Boys and Girls Club, Douglas County AIDS Project and Lawrence Community Shelter. As volunteer only, these agencies expect the students to have a great impact on their ability to help the community.
"Students are my best volunteers, by far. They are more committed and more engaged," Don Huggins, senior scientist and director of the Lawrence Community Shelter, said
Corinne Fetter, of AmeriCorps*Vista at the KU Center for Service Learning, and Rebecca Moore, Title Three Strengthening Institution program director, began the program eager to unite KU and Haskell students in a common goal.
"This is a bridge program, an important step forward in terms of relations." Moore said.
Not only will the project help
"It about building a healthy community, and people need to be connected to do that," Fetter said.
Lawrence residents facing homelessness, hunger and dangers such as abuse, but it will also strengthen the communication and interaction between the two universities.
Each student involved in the service learning project will perform 20 hours of community service for the spring semester. A total of eight agencies attended the meeting to explain their needs and enlist volunteers.
"The one thing these folks need the most is a friend". Huegens said.
The student volunteers will work with children and adults in the community as mentors, tutors and companions.
"We should try to do it more often, I think we are intimidated by each other because of racial or ethnic differences. It will help us both in the long run," Eric Magallan, Haskell freshman, said.
Both universities and agency representatives are hopeful that the program will benefit everyone involved.
Students will have the opportunity to work in the morning, afternoon or evening, in order to avoid conflicts with their class schedules. The service learning project intends to reinforce the students' coursework through their service, said Fetter.
Throughout the spring semester, volunteers and administrators of the program will meet on both campuses to report on their experiences and progress.

New passport rules complicate travel
>> TRAVEL
BY NATHAN GILL
Spring break travelers beware — you now need a passport to fly.
New travel requirements, developed by the Department of State and the Department of Homeland Security, took effect Tuesday, Eric Blum, spokesman for US Customs and Border Protections, said all travelers returning by air to the United States from Canada, Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean and Bermuda must present a passport or other valid document to enter the country.
Tim Davey, a travel advisor for STA Travel, recommended that students planning to travel outside the US make checking passport rules for their destination country a priority. He said travelers should check the Web site travel state.gov for country-specific travel information.
Alma, Quebec, graduate student, crosses the border between Canada and the United States two or three times a year. She said the change didn't affect her.
"I've had my passport for years," Boudrias said.
Boudrias said having a passport made travel easier. She also said the new requirements were a disappointment.
"I think it's very sad," Boudrias said. "It used to be one of the most unguarded borders in the world."
"I think it's very sad. It used to be one of the most unguarded borders in the world."

Tedesco said
her office's biggest concern was getting students tr
apply for passports early enough.
Travelers can obtain U.S. passports from Lawrence's main post office at 645 Vermont St. Adult passports cost $97 and take six weeks or longer to process. Travelers can pay an extra $60 for expedited service, which takes only two weeks. Both options require photographs, which are not included in the passport's cost.
"The earlier we can get a student to apply, the easier their life is going to be," Gornbeck "Tedesco said.

Beckham wax figure unveiled
BROOKLYN, NEW YORK - BRIAN LENOVA AND MIAMI HEARSE WERE INCLUDED IN A CEREMONY OF HONOR FOR MAYOR JEFFERSON'S DEATH.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — In terms of soccer skills, this David Beckham can't hold a candle to the real one.
Waxen figures of Beckham, one of the biggest soccer stars in the world, and his wife, Victoria, a former Spice Girl, were unveiled Tuesday at the Madame Tussauds New York wax museum.
The figures, imported from
London, will be on display for two weeks. Their appearance was in honor of the real Beckhams' hotly anticipated move to the United States in the spring, and took place to the strains of Neil Diamond's "America," the museum said.
David Beckham, known as Becks, and his pop star wife, known as Posh, announced earlier this month that they'd be moving to Los Angeles. He signed a five-year contract with the Los Angeles Galaxy soccer team, and
she's been seen in the area hunting for a home for their family.
Their wax figures were decked out in American flags for their U.S. debut, Becks, 31, is dressed in a tuxedo, while 32-year-old Posh is wearing a green gown with a long slit on the side.
The waxy couple are posed at the Times Square museum with her head resting on his chest and his arm wrapped around her shoulder.
Grey's star in counseling after use of anti-gay slur
LOS ANGELES — Isaiah Washington, who plays a doctor on "Grey's Anatomy," is in therapy for his use of an anti-gay slur against a cast mate.
"I regard this as a necessary step toward understanding why I did what I did and making sure it never happens again," Washington said.
Washington reportedly used the slur "faggot" about co-star T.R. Knight last October. The issue boiled up again at the Jan. 15 Golden Globes when he denied using the epithet.
Federline ad offensive to fast-food places, workers
Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company's 30-second spot shows Federline, who is estranged from pop princess Brittney Spears, performing in a glitzy music video. The punch line is that he's daydreaming — while cooking french fries at a fast-foo joint.
COLUMBUS, Ohio — A restaurant trade group said it was insulted by an insurance company's planned Super Bowl ad that stars Kevin Federline as a fast-food worker.
The ad amounts to a "strong and direct insult to the 12.8 million Americans who work in the restaurant industry" wrote National Restaurant Association President Steven Anderson.

Sex, relationships trump career
Universities may prepare students for a career, but they do not commonly provide students with lessons on maintaining a happy and healthy life outside of their careers.
Relationships and sex are important aspects of life. "When students graduate they're going to spend eight to nine hours a day at a job," says Dr. Dennis Dailey, a former professor of human sexuality at the University of Kansas. "They are also going to spend eight or nine hours with family, in relationships, in bed. Anything you can do that enriches that part of their life is worth doing."
Less than 10 years ago, Dailey taught a University course on human sexuality that was popular, controversial and often wait-listed. Today, Dailey works as a sex therapist and continues to teach a course on human sexuality at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread. His non-credit class, Human Sexuality in Everyday Life, is well attended by students and non-students who want a more holistic understanding of sexual relations. Some even take the course multiple times.
The class' popularity is not the only sign that there is a greater need for sex education.
Daily said 50 percent of marriages ended in divorce and a large percentage of couples suffered from sexual dysfunction. As a sex therapist, Dailey also has found that many of his clients would give up the wealth and the status they earned through their careers to have more positive relationships with their families and spouses.
University students are often provided with opportunities to pursue exceptional careers. Dailey accurately asserts that many students lack sufficient means to study the part of their lives that will determine their happiness even more than financial gain. In an increasingly superficial and materialistic society, many lose sight of the importance of meaningful and intimate connections. Sex, as an act solely intended to gain physical pleasure, becomes unsatisfying.
Fortunately, students at the University have the opportunity to learn about this aspect of life as well as their future careers. To learn more about Dr. Dennis Dailey's course, students can contact the ECM center by phone, at 843-4933, or in person

Unwrapping cool
》
I'm uncool.
MICHAEL RUSSELL
PETER DENHARDT
I can't decide if I'm uncool by choice, or because I don't try to be, but the result is the same. Until recently, my only friend on MySpace was Tom. Now that number has been my wife.
BRANDON MINISTER
KANSAN COLUMNIST
OPINION@KANSAN.COM
When I was younger, being uncool was pretty, well, uncool. My parents would try to cheer me up by telling me that uncool people end up ruling the world. "Look at Bill Gates," they said. "That guy is like a black hole of coolness. Once you cross his event horizon, there is no return to cool."
Celebrities are notorious for describing how uncool they were in high school. They say they were "geeky" or "awkward". What they really mean is, "I wasn't as successful as I am now". Because in no universe would Brad Pitt or Halle Berry ever quality as uncool. Will Smith has so much superfluous cool that, upon hearing a Third World nation was suffering a severe shortage of cool, he took a damp in a freezer bag and shipped it there with instructions to bury it in their uncoolest city and water it every day for a week. Today that city is known as Dubai.
Being cool is difficult to master because it's so nebulous. What is "cool," anyway? It's what everyone decides is cool, yet changing your tastes to match is the least cool thing
you can do. You can't force cool.
In the end, cool must come to you unexpectedly and unsolicited, like a Nobel Prize or malaria. You have to pick a persona and wait for popular culture to decide that you are cool. One day you might wake up and your ugly purse or those awful shoes will miraculously have become cool. Then you will be able to lean your head to one side, close your eyes to bored slits, and say blithely, "I was cool before it was even cool to be cool."
And right about then, as that last sylable leaves your lips, everyone else will have moved on. You will be back down here with me, in uncoolness. You will come to me seeking comfort, and I will kick you in the shin for thinking you were better than me. Because you're not. At least I know I'm uncool. And that's pretty cool. Isn't it?

On talking to this friend, I saw that she showed no remorse about the circumstances, nor did she have any objection to using Plan B as a permanent backup plan when no protection was available.
This was appalling because I don't believe my friend is an anomaly. I think there are other girls who will use Plan B as birth control — or
guys who will pressure them to—but that is not its intended use. When used as intended, Plan B is a pregnancy block for rape or sexual assault victims. It is also only 89 percent according to the FDA Web site—whereas condoms are about

98 percent effective—according to the Mayo Clinic Web site. It has relatively mild side effects, such as nausea, headaches or dizziness that last for one to two days, according to the DuraMed Web site. However, with its now easy access with near anonymity, more women will be resorting to it regularly.
I am not against Plan B being used once or twice to safeguard against a pregnancy with a sexual predator or the occasional drunken mistake. In those cases, the physical and emotional side effects from taking Plan B will likely be less significant than those of getting pregnant. Also, Plan B is not an "abortion pill" like Miteplex, which — according to the FDA — will keep a necessary hormone from the fertilized and attached fetus, preventing it from developing. If the fertilized egg has already attached to the womb, Plan
B will not be effective. Some pro-life advocates define the point of conception as when the egg first meets the sperm; others define it as when the fertilized egg is implanted in.
in the uterus. I agree with the second definition, and thus don't believe that Plan B pill causes an abortion. Therefore, I find nothing wrong with the existence of Plan B. What I am against is misusing it and its over-the-counter status.
Previously, you had to make an appointment with a doctor or nurse to be counseled before you were given a prescription. You would be asked about your sexual encounter and told how the pill works to prevent pregnancy. However, the FDA decided to no longer require the mandatory counseling when it gave the pill an over-the-counter status. This has led to some women, such as my friend, running out to obtain
a serious pill with no idea how it works.
Some women are mature enough to use Plan B as it was intended; as an emergency contraceptive only. But, to accommodate those who aren't as mature$^4$ is it really such a hardship to go
through a little counseling? Women are making a serious decision when they decide to take Plan B, and it seems like the FDA is treating it too lightly.
There are other options besides making the pill prescription only again. A shorter counseling section could be made mandatory for women getting Plan B for the first time. Also, the number of times that a woman bought Plan B could be monitored and a restriction could be set on many times a woman could obtain it.
These options aren't foolproof. But they would curb the too-casual use of the pill. The FDA has a responsibility to make this pill more difficult to get, so women don't abuse a serious drug.

>> COMMENTARY
No Child Left Behind needs more state and federal interaction
Teachers' unions hate the No Child Left Behind Act because it forces teachers to spend class time on test taking skills. Principals grumble about the disaggregation of test scores into subgroups based on ethnicity and income. Those who pushed the standards based reforms point out that states are in control of the standards and can easily lower the bar to allow their students to pass.
Many complain loudly that the law represents an unfunded intrusion of federal power into a matter rightly belonging in the hands of
the states.
When it passed in 2001 with bipartisan support and was signed into law in 2002, the act was hailed as a bipartisan solution to the problem in public education. But it is the latest in a series of compromises dating back to the first Bush administration.
It's clear that as it comes up for reauthorization — NCLB is only the name of the latest version of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, dating back to 1965
— that some changes need to be made.
The only way to make NCLB work in its current form is for the federal government to take control of making the standards or to convince the states that they have a stake in making sure the reforms work.
I am a very positive and confident person. I enjoy working with people and helping them achieve their goals. I am also proud of my achievements and the positive impact that they have on others.

Panel begins work on state-wide smoking ban

JOHN HANNA ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — A bill aimed at imposing a statewide ban on smoking in most public places, including restaurants and many bars, is being rewritten by the Senate Judiciary Committee.
The panel began working on the bill Wednesday but didn't finish, and Chairman John Vratil, R-Leawood, said he isn't sure when a revised version will be ready.
However, the senator pushing the measure, David Wysong, R-Mission, isn't discouraged with the committee'sinkering.
"I think it's moving along" he said after its meeting.
The committee added amendments that narrowed the bill's scope, exempting veterans homes. Veterans Administration hospitals, nursing homes and halls run by veterans and fraternal groups from any ban.

"They need to take a look at how dense downtown is and how it thins out as you go west," Harwood said. "I can't believe they have the audacity to reach up to the top of the hill."
But Corliss said the plan was intended to promote city-wide
safety across the board, and that bars without trouble didn't have anything to fear.
"This plan would just give us the ability to have pieces of land examined one-by-one," Corliss said. "I don't think they have anything to fear."
Harwood was skeptical of any steps that might change the policy of bars away from downtown.

Bush's plans for war anger Senate
DAVID ESPO
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — In a calculated snub of President Bush, the Democratic-controlled Senate Foreign Relations Committee dismissed plans for a troop buildup in Iraq on Wednesday as "not in the national interest" of the United States.
"The president has made his decision," Vice President Dick Cheney fired back, a response that made it clear the administration would go ahead anyway. "We need to get the job done."
The 12-9 committee vote, mostly along party lines, capped hours of debate in which Republicans and Democrats vented their frustration and anger — both with the administration and their own past unwillingness to change the course of a war that has claimed the lives of more than 3,000 U.S. troops.
"There is no strategy. This is a pingpong game with American lives," said Republican Sen. Chuck
Hagel was the only one of 10 committee Republicans to support the nonbinding measure. Several of the panel's 11 Democrats said they favored stronger legislation to register their opposition to the war.
"This Congress was never meant to be a rubber stamp," added Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., "Read the Constitution. The Congress has the power to declare war. And on multiple occasions, we used our power to end conflicts."
Hagel of Nebraska.
In the wake of midterm election losses, Bush announced two weeks that he would order an additional 21,500 troops into the war zone. In Tuesday night's State of the Union address, he implored skeptical lawmakers to give the strategy a chance.
Bush got his answer in less than 24 hours, the timing dictated by Democrats, and Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Del., the panel's chairman, said tougher measures were likely to follow.
Margretta de Vries, administrative associate at KU Parking and Transit, said students have shown interest in the service.
She said students have been calling with questions.
But some students would still rather drive than ride a bus.

"I like my own little personal time," said Colin Pilant, a student at JCCC who commutes from Lawrence. "I like to listen to some music before I go to class. A bunch of people all loud and smelly; I wouldn't like that."
"It's about $85 a month more economical, and I have more time to do homework while I'm on the bus."

KANSAS ROARS BACK AFTER TOUGH DEFEAT IN LUBBOCK
When Kansas lost to Texas Tech on Saturday, Kansas players and fans were treated to a sight they're all too familiar with: Students and fans storm the court.
KU

— Edited by Mark Vierthaler
Kealing is a Chesterfield, Mo., senior in journalism and political science.
When Nebraska comes to town this coming season, or when it's Kansas State's turn to visit Lawrence in 2008, students and fans need to stay off the field. Students and fans should confine their revelry to the stands and local bars.
At his weekly press conference Monday, coach Bill Self said 50 percent of the time Kansas lost on the road, fans of the home team stormed the court. While the number is probably more of a guess, and likely a bit overstated, Self was visibly upset by the behavior.
Kansas football fans need to at least pretend like they're used to winning. Enough with rushing the field. Enough with tearing down the goalposts. Take some advice from Bill Self and leave the playing surface to the players.
Self's remarks became the hot topic on message boards and local talk radio by Monday night. And while some talk show hosts tried to maintain a sense of balance and analysis of the basketball situation, countless fans turned to simply bashing opponents as tactless and as fans not used to winning.
Sure, there was the victory against Texas in 2002 when a few foolish fans tried to run the floor, but the vast majority stuck to their seats and booed those who were spoiling the sacred floor.
Kansas football fans, that is.
Probably valid points, and points that could serve as a lesson for Kansas fans too.
WACOWAKE-UP
Kansas football fans, that is,
In the past two seasons, Kansas
fans have torn down the goal-
posts four times in 2005 against
Missouri, Nebraska and Iowa
and in 2006 against K-State.
Sure, tooball players have pads and aren't as vulnerable to rabid fans, but in 2005 Charles Gordon, NFL quarterback, had a run in that could have proved injuring. A Kansas fan stepped on his ankle on the way to the goal posts.
Enough already. Kansas fans are rightly indignant that their basketball players — virtually gods of Jayhawk land — are endangered by the actions of foolish fans. Kansas fans should share the same concerns for their football players.
I can't be sure, but Id guess Chuck would have been quite upset if his college career had ended early because of a fan stepping on his ankle.
Storming the court — or the field — is a sign of a program that isn't used to winning. In the past five years — and probably long before that — Kansas fans have never stormed James Naismith Court en masse.

Sloppy offense forces Jayhawks to 12th-straight loss against Wildcats
BY ASHER FUSCO
MANHATTAN — Kansas had chance after chance to leave Bramlage Coliseum with a victory Wednesday night, but came away empty-handed.
The Jayhawks saw their last chance slip away on a series of missed shots on the final possession of the name.
Kansas lost to Kansas State 59-55 in a game that was sloppy, but hotly contested throughout.
The loss was the Jayhawks 12th straight to the Wildcats.
It was defensive intensity that allowed Kansas to stay in a game that looked like a mismatch at the start. Kansas State jumped out to an 8-1 lead in the first two minutes of
action, only to have their lead cut to three just two minutes later.
After trailing by seven points at halftime, the lavhawks turned up the pressure on the Wildcats, holding them scoreless for a five-minute stretch early in the second half.
The crowd fell silent when freshman forward Danielle McCray put the Jayhawks on top 41-39 with 12:18 remaining.

Neutral ground a poor decision
YOU ARE WAY OUT OF THIS GAME.
BY C. L. MOOR
BY C.J. MOORE
KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST
CJMOORE@KANSAN.COM
It sure sounded like a genius plan. Kansas and Missouri athletic departments made the decision this week to move the annual Kansas-Missouri hatefest to a neutral site, Arrowhead Stadium.
Let's pack thousands of students from two opposing schools that absolutely despise each other together in the same stadium, mix in some alcohol and see what ensues. The real Border War must take place in the parking lot, not the playing field.
Athletics Director Lew Perkins might as well have said the heck with the environment, pleasing the students or the outcome of the game, moving the game away from Lawrence and Columbia just made more cents. But it doesn't make much sense.
It's a shame too, because Kansas football was starting to become the "it" thing to do on a fall Saturday in Lawrence. The Jlayhaws have developed an actual home field advantage. The team has won 11 of 13 games the past two years at Memorial Stadium while going 2-9 away from Lawrence over that time span.
Jayhawk fans have started to show up to wave the wheat in record numbers. Fans arrive early in the morning to tailgate. It's an all-day experience.
Students and alumni have finally embraced the football team. So how does the Athletics Department choose to thank the KU faithful?
Well, by moving the most anticipated game of the year, of course.
Take a look at the 2007 home schedule now. It's quite a doozy Powerhouses Central Michigan, Southeast Louisiana, Toledo and Florida International fill the nonconference home slate. Northwestern Appalachian State Tech was all booked. Big 12 powers Baylor and Iowa State both travel to Lawrence next season, leaving one home game on the schedule that should actually make football fans excited to spend a Saturday away from their couches, the Nebraska game.
But, hey, playing against the Tigers in Lawrence just wasn't going to bring in the almighty dollar.
Speaking of which, shouldn't Perkins and company ease up on chasing the green at every opportunity?
I could understand this move back when Perkins arrived, although it still would have been a bad idea. Back then the Kansas Athletics Department was near the bottom of the Big 12 Conference in bringing in revenues. The department was in debt.
But things have changed.
Kansas ranked third in the Big 12 last year in total revenues, generating nearly $70 million. Kansas now has the most profitable athletics department in the conference. Kansas athletics generated $22.5 million more revenue than its expenses last year. And it's because of Perkins.
Hes made the right moves. He's made a few people mad along the way, but he's played the game the way it has to be played. However, this is just unnecessary.
Sure, Kansas will receive at least $1 million for playing the game at Arrowhead for the next two years. That may look like a big number to college students rummaging through the couch cushions for some change to help pay for a slice at the Wheel, but that's chump change for Perkins. All he would have to do is say "pretty please" and recent donors to the department Dana Anderson, Tom Kivisto or some other rich alum would hand over that kind of money without hesitation.
This shouldn't be about money. This game is for the fans and the players. And now it's an inconvenience for the fans and a disadvantage for the team. The Jayhawks have owned the Tigers the past two games at Memorial Stadium. And next season with almost all of coach Mark Mangino's roster back a year older, combined with an easy Big 12 South schedule with no Oklahoma and no Texas, Kansas has a shot at playing a meaningful game in the regular season finale. Maybe playing for a Big 12 North title (Hey, it's January, let me dream).
It's too late to stop Perkins and his money-hungry cronies now, but make sure this game is back where it belongs, on campus, in 2009. Write a letter. Make a phone call. Let them know you're not happy.
And finally, hit them where it hurts the most – in the wallet. Instead of paying $25 for parking and tailgating on a slab of concrete with beautiful 1-70 and a Denny's as a backdrop, then watching football with a bunch of Tiger fans, boycott the game until it returns to the Free State.

Once a year, Lawrence residents are invited to celebrate the return of the eagles to Clinton State Park. The 11th annual Kaw Valley Eagle Day event was on Sunday at Free State High School. The event was presented by the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks in association with U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and lavahk Audubon Society.

The free event featured an injured five year-old bald eagle and a golden eagle from the Prairie Park Nature Center. It also included five special presentations and more than 10 exhibits for people of all ages.
Two of the presentations were given by KU professors, Kelly Kindscher and Chip Taylor. Kindscher, courtesy associate professor in the division of biological studies, spoke on wildflowers in Douglas County.
"I encourage people to use the prairie." Kindscher said, "Wild harvesters do not hurt it; only converting the land to other uses affects it negatively."

District attorney faces charges from state bar
AARON BEARD
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Mike Nifong — who withdrew from the case earlier this month — could be disbarred if convicted by a disciplinary board.
RALEIGH, N.C. — The state bar lodged new and more serious ethics charges Wednesday against the district attorney in the Duke lacrosse case, accusing him of withholding evidence from the defense and lying to both the court and bar investigators.
The bar previously charged Nifong with making misleading and prejudicial comments about the athletes under suspicion.
The new charges are tied to Nifong's decision to use a private lab for DNA testing as his office investigated allegations three men raped a 28 year-old stripper at a team party last March.
Those tests uncovered genetic material from several men on the woman's underwear and body, but none from any lacrosse player. The bar complaint alleges that those results were not released to the defense and that Nifong repeatedly said in court he had turned over all evidence that could benefit the defense.
"If these allegations are true and if they don't justify disbar
ment, then I'm not sure what does," said Joseph Kennedy, a law professor at the University of North Carolina. "It's hard for me to imagine a more serious set of allegations against a prosecutor."
The new charges "have significantly increased the chances (for a serious sanction, possibly including suspension or disbarment," said Thomas Metzloff, a Duke law professor and member of the bar's ethics committee, which is not involved in prosecuting the case against Nifong.
Nitong's trial on the ethics charges is set for May, though bar officials said Wednesday they expect it to be delayed until June.
He declined to comment Wednesday.
"I'd say any time any charges are filed with the state bar, they're all serious, and we want to make sure we handle them all properly," said his attorney David Freedman.
Citing the conflict of interest created by the ethics charges, Nifong asked the North Carolina attorney general's office to take over the lacrosse case.
JBS
Nifong dropped rape charges against the three athletes in December after the accuser changed a key detail in her account, but the players are still charged with sexual offense and kidnapping.

Gonzalez advances to semi-finals
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MELBOURNE, Australia — Rafael Nadal limped out of the Australian Open complaining his leg was too sore to challenge Fernando Gonzalez in the quarterfinals. With Gonzalez stinging winners past him from both the forehand and backhand sides, even a fit Nadal might have struggled.
The 10th-seeded Gonzalez had 41 winners in a 6-2, 6-4, 6-3 upset over the second-seeded Nadal on Wednesday, earning him a semifinal spot along with top-tanked Roger Federer, Andy Roddick and Tommy Haas.
Gonzalez, who will be playing in the semifinals of a Grand Slam tournament for the first time, will get a day off to watch Thursday's semifinal between defending champion Federer and sixth-seeded Roddick. Gonzalez will face Tommy Haas Friday.
French Open champion Nadal was the only player to beat Federer at this stage of a tournament last year, doing it four times in finals. Federer was 91-1 against everyone else — his only other loss an upset to Andy Murray at Cincinnati.
It was a five-setter against Murray on Monday that Nadal thinks derailed his prospects of making the Australian Open final.
"I can't run a lot," he said Wednesday. "It was difficult to play one match like this, quarterfinals of one Grand Slam, with pain. If I am playing bad, well, you can go home and say disappointing. But today I just say, 'Well, I can't do more. I try my best.'"
He called for a medical time-out in the third set and went to the locker room for treatment on his upper left leg and buttock.
Gonzalez was hardly a contender until he beat local favorite Lleyton Hewitt in the third round and fith-seeded James Blake in the fourth. The 26-year-old Chilean won 12 of 15 matches to end 2006 and made
three finals — losing two to Federer.
He always had a powerful forehand but was too erratic with it, often criticized for swinging and missing too many times on big points. But since starting work last year with Larry Stefanki, who coached John McEnroe and helped Marcelo Rios and Yevgeny Kafelnikov reach No. 1, Gonzalez has been improving.
"I used to just hit, hit, hit, and maybe I win the point — now I have other strategies," he said. "I am playing great tennis. I can do great things in my game."
He had support from Chilean supporters wrapped in flags and chanting in Spanish.

League cracks down on drug users
Stricter penalties enacted for athletes who use performance enhancers
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — The NFL is going deeper into the wallets of players who get caught using steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs.
After four months of sometimes intense negotiations, the league and union announced Wednesday more extensive testing for performance-enhancing drugs and the addition of the blood-boosting substance EPO to its list of banned substances.
The union also agreed that players suspended after testing positive will, for the first time, forfeit a portion of their signing bonuses in addition to the salary they will lose during their time away. That is significant because the signing bonuses often are the only guaranteed portion of a player's salary and can be larger than salaries, which sometimes are kept artificially low to keep the team under the salary cap.
"It is important that the NFL and its players continue to be leaders on the issue of illegal and dangerous performance-enhancing drugs in sports," NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said. "These latest improvements will help ensure that we continue to have a strong and effective program. As we have done in the past, we will review and modify the policy on an ongoing basis."
urine testing for EPO in 2005. Rob Manfred, MLB's executive vice president for labor relations, said Wednesday there were no positives among the 500 samples tested.
The enhancements to the drug policy were pending for almost six months — from about the time Goodell succeeded Paul Tagliabue as commissioner. The league and union began negotiating on additional tests and substances in September, but didn't reach agreement until this week.
Those discussions followed reaction to a story in the Charlotte Observer on steroid prescriptions given to Carolina Panthers players by a South Carolina doctor in 2003.
NCAA
In addition to the new test for EPO, the agreement included an increase from seven to 10 of the number of players on each team randomly tested each week during the season for steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs. That means there will be 12,000 tests each season, up from the current 10,000.
"These changes show what sports leagues and their players' associations can accomplish when they set their minds to eradicating steroids from their sports," said Rep. Tom Davis, R.Va.
The new policy will make the NFL the only North American sports league to regularly test for EPO. Urine was be tested, not blood, for EPO. Baseball did a round of
NCAA Athletic director named association commissioner
Johnson will succeed Ralph McFillen, who will retire June 30 after 10 years as commissioner.
OVERLAND PARK — Texas A&M Commerce athletic director Jim Johnson was named Tuesday as the next commissioner of the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association.
The MIAA, based in Overland Park, is made up of 10 NCAA Division II schools.
"I'm humbled by this selection. The MIAA is clearly one of the leading Division II conferences in the country and the opportunity to serve as the commissioner is an honor," Johnson said. "I look forward to continuing to build on the foundation Ralph has established." —Associated Press
Johnson has been in his post at Texas A&M-Commerce, also a member of NCAA Division II, since July 2005. He is also chairman of the Division II Membership Committee.

Harsh crowd doesn't daunt young players
Four-way tie for Big 12 Conference
BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS
WACO, Texas - Darrell Arthur did his talking on the court, but Sandra Arthur used a more direct method in dealing with Baylor's fans.
"I heard my mom talking back to them," he said. "She told them to look at the score."
He said that during the day he was anxious to get the game under way, and once it started he was so nervous he started playing too fast and speeding up the game.
Kansas' 82-56 victory was enough to keep most of the crowd quiet during Arthur's first game at the school he passed over for Kansas, but he still heard the boos when he checked into the game.
Compounding the pressure, it was also his first game against former high school teammate Kevin Rogers, who plays under the basket as a sophomore.
Both players agreed afterward that it was weird.
as a sophomore for Baylor.
"We played together only a couple years ago." Arthur said of their time at South Oak Cliff High School in Dallas.
Arthur entered
Animal entered the game at the first full time out. On his first drive, he fumbled the ball while driving to the lane. On the second drive he was fouled, giving him two free throws, which he turned into his first points of the game.
Outside of that group, he didn't get a lot of love from the crowd at the Ferrell Center.
"People don't get it nationally based on the little bit I've heard. Add in Oklahoma State and how many leagues in America have five teams that good?"
He was cheered on by a group of 20-30 family members seated behind the lajayawk bench. Most of them were wearing Arthur's 90 jersey.
"Freshmen go through that stuff," he said. "I think he was sped up."
"He still got some good looks off," Rush said. "But I was able to stay in front of him."
said, but added that the crowd was harsh to all the Jayhawks. He laughed when remembering one insult.
Even after that basket the student section kept on him, cheering loudly when he missed a dunk in the second half. Coach Bill Self said that it was good he was able to get this out of the way in a game that wasn't close.
Sophomore guard Brandon Rush defended Baylor guard Aaron Bruce for most of the game. Bruce is one of Baylord's best shooters, but Rush was able to hold him to just 3-of-12 from the field.
Four-wav tie:
Rush on Bruce:
Texas Tech defeated its second high-profile opponent of the week with a victory against Texas A&M last night. The Big 12 is now in a four-way tie between the teams with 4-1 conference records: Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech and Kansas.
"They were on me real hard," he
Self used that statistic to lobby for the Big 12 nationally.
"They told Sherron that he looked like Gary Coleman."
BILL SELF
Head Coach
"People don't get it nationally, based on the little bit I've heard," he said. "Add in Oklahoma State, and how many leagues in America have five teams that good?"
Morningstar shines:
guard Brady Morningstar made the most of his two minutes of playing time, scoring four points. The second was off a spin move that he described as "putting a little shake in my game"
He was substituted out to allow walk on Brad Witherspoon to play the final seconds.
Junior forward Darnell Jackson played nine minutes as he continues to recover from a bruised back. He said that while it hurts, he has still been able to play and practice on a regular basis.
"I don't even know how I did it," he said. "It's good, but it's going to take a while to fully heal."

Straight games in double figures in scoring for Sherron Collins.
With Baylor on a 7-0 run in the first half and the Jayhawks struggling to get the ball inside, Russell Robinson launched a long three-point shot not what the team was looking for. It rolled in, breaking the Baylor rally and allowing Kansas to hold its lead into halftime. It's hard to find big shots in a game like Wednesday's, but Self must have breathed a huge sigh of relief when Robinson's shot snuck in.
Coach Scott Drew has done a great job rebuilding the Baylor program, but it's obvious what he's missing: an inside presence. Kevin Rogers is a great player, but he's going to need some help when he goes against the best teams in the Big 12. It's going to be tough for the Bears to make the NIT this year, but they'll slowly mature into a national force as long as Drew is at the helm.
There was a strong turnout of Jayhawk fans at the Ferrell Center on Wednesday. The same could not be said of Baylor fans. In an arena that only holds 10,284, there is no excuse for fans to leave a third of the tickets unsold for a marquee game like Kansas. Before the game, the "Let's go Jayhawks" chant overpowered the Baylor fans' cheering.
Michael Phillips
The theme among conference officials this year has been to let the players play, which favors Kansas when the Jayhawks can get the ball inside. Sasha Kaun, Julian Wright and Darrell Arthur are all playing so well they are interchangeable - meaning Kansas can play a little faster and bump a little harder than teams without that depth.
At the beginning of the year, Darrell Arthur looked like the freshman that would have the biggest impact on this year's team. Now five games into conference play, Sherron Collins has emerged into an offensive force and one of the best clutch shooters around. Arthur is still playing at the same consistent level – he gets a free pass from this game for extenuating circumstances – but Collins gets better every time he takes the court.

After missing 11 laysups on Saturday, the Jayhaws went a perfect 11-for-11 on Wednesday against Baylor. In the first half, the Jayhawks emphasized getting the ball down low, but in the second half the guards began to take over the game. For Baylor, it was a rough shooting night all-around. Most interesting, though, is how poorly the Bears did from behind the three-point line. They went for 22 in the one area of the game they have consistently excelled in this year. Shot chart information was compiled by Baylor Athletics.
VICTORY (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
said.
Self kept on his players to maintain their intensity throughout the first half and into the second half. Baylor relies heavily on its guards, and the coach didn't want them to get off a couple quick three-pointers and make the game close.
He had nothing to worry about, as the layhawks came out in the start of the second half with just as much offensive finesse as the first half. Baylor started making its shots as well, but Self said it only created the illusion of a faster-moving game.
"Both teams were scoring, and from a fan's standpoint, that prettier to watch." Self said. "But from a coach's standpoint, I didn't think the pace was picked up much."
The scoring slowed down again in the final minutes as the Kansas bench emptied and the starters left to an ovation from the Jayhawk fans in the crowd.
The layhawks return home on Saturday for an afternoon game against Colorado, where they'll look to dominate as a team once again.

Penguins' future still unclear
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PITTSBURGH — After talking with a co-owner of the Penguins, Gov. Ed Rendell is optimistic that a new arena agreement can be reached to keep the team in Pittsburgh.
In a phone conversation Tuesday night, Rendell and co owner Ron Burkle discussed some of the arena issues that needed to be clarified and agreed to work on them.
This followed several days of exchanges between the governor and Mario Lemieux, the Penguins chairman and former star player.
"We want to reach an agreement. We think we're getting closer." Rendell said Wednesday. "We're hopeful."
Burkle is also talking with Pittsburgh mayor Luke Ravenstahl and Allegheny County chief executive Dan Oquirto.
At the NHL All Star game in Dallas this week, Lemieux said the time was drawing near for the Penguins to decide whether to stay or to relocate — possibly to Kansas City.
from a redevelopment of the Mellon Arena site with casino operator Don Barden.
Lemieux said last week's negotiating session with Rendell, county and city leaders took a step backward because of a request the team share revenues
"We all agreed it's important for the Penguins to stay in Pittsburgh and that's what we all want."

Barden has agreed to contribute $7.5 million per year toward a new arena, but also wants to redevelop the area around Mellon Arena.

On Tuesday, Rendell said the proposal
"Remember, when commissioner (Gary) Bettman came to Pittsburgh, he said loud and clear that if an offer on a stadium was a good offer, given the strength of the fan base here, that they wouldn't move," Rendell said.
During a Nov. 28 meeting with Ravenstahl and Onorato, Bettman said, "We all agreed it's important for the Penguins to stay in Pittsburgh and that's what we all want."
Aiming for the atmosphere
The Penguins are the only Pennsylvania major pro sports team playing in an arena or stadium that is more than 10 years old.

note.
What Dave Ruigh and I learned during our first week as Jayplay editors...
- The emergency room can be a dangerous place (page 4).
- There are always more events we could put on the calendar — if we cut the photos (page 3).
- We each have a 2.08 percent chance of being diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (page 7).
- Two gallons of water
  - without going Wii — is too much (page 6).
- "They" won't let you take peanut butter on an airplane.
- One can of Sparks costs $1.68 at Neighborhood Liquors, 1906 Massachusetts St.(page 11).

- Snow/ice storms are perfect reasons to meet your neighbors (especially if they're guys with ice scrapers)

CATCH of the week
Name: Annette "Nettie"
Fierros
Hometown and year;Phoenix senior
Major: English
Interests/hobbies: A lot of reading and cooking. Fierros plays softball and can often be found at the Phoggy Dog, 2228 Iowa St.
What she looks for in a guy:
Sense of humor, sincerity,
personality. Fierros prefers someone with original thought, sarcasm and some raunchy humor. "Motivation, ambition ... someone who works hard," she says.
Best date ever: She and her date traveled north to Flagstaff,
Ariz. and had a picnic by a meadow.
Favorite band:"I'm in love with The Format," she says. "They're from Phoenix and are just amazing." She is also in love with Chris Carrabba of Dashboard Confessional and his lyrics.
Someday,... She has always wanted to travel to italy "I love it — the food, the culture, the land, the scenery, the wine. Basically the wine," she says.
M. SARAH HARTLEY
Plans for the future: Graduating and eventually moving back to Arizona where she will hopefully get a public relations job with a professional sports team.
Funny fact: As a fifth grader, Fierros went to the emergency
room with her mom and had the unfortunate experience of seeing a homeless woman wander in and masturbate in front of everyone present.
What her friends say: "She's really in-your-face honest," says Destiny Frankenstein, Broken Arrow, Okla, senior. "She's areally great friend with a positive and caring attitude." Frankenstein lived with and played softball with Fierros. "She's definitely one of those friends you know you'll have for life."

TOP 5 MOVIE-FEST IDEAS
5. Laugh-fest
"Comedy, but with all the spoofs: Spaceballs,
Ace Ventura, Robin Hood: Men in Tights."
— Jon Arkin, Reedsburg. Wisc.senior
4. Fright-fest
"I would probably do the scary '80s movies like Friday the 13th, A Nightmare on Elm Street and Killer Klowns from Outer Space because they are creepy, scary and the gore is like no other. Also some of them get to be a bit funny, but scary enough to have a cute girl hold on to you at the same time."
— Gavin Englund, Chicago senior
"Dine with the Knights of the Round Table in King Arthur. Also you should include Excalibur and First Knight."
3. Renaissance-fest
Meagan Williams, Denver junior
MORRIS JACKS & BROOKS
HIL JOHN RICK

SPACEBALLS
2-DISC DVD SET

2. Pup-fest
"Movies with'd dog in the title. For example, Must Love Dogs, The Truth About Cats and Dogs, Dogfight, All Dogs Go To Heaven, Lady and the Tramp."
— Hallie Silber, Lawrence sophomore
1. Director-fest
"I would say a Sam Raimi directorial fest including: The Evil Dead and Army of Darkness, A Simple Plan and Spiderman 2. You could examine his thread of work as a director from the '80s doing a B film to the '90s making an intense drama, then the 2000s making a blockbuster. I think it's interesting to study a body of work, seeing what he worked on, how his artistic sense developed or declined and why he may have chosen to do those certain projects."

What to say when your friend dates a cheater
by Megan Heffley
Layla Habibi, Wichita senior, still remembers the sting she felt in her chest when she found out. She was sitting in her dorm room freshman year and her boyfriend was again talking about his "friend" from work. In the middle of the conversation, their mutual friend shouted "Oh! That girl? Isn't she the other girlfriend you're talking to?" Layla recalls the way it felt when her stomach hit the cold tiled floor and how she stormed out of the concrete room. The chill of humiliation she felt that day eventually melted away, but in the end, she says, she's glad her friend fessed up.
Knowing that your friend's boyfriend or girlfriend is knockin' boots with someone else shoves you between a boulder and a hard place. There is a way to deal, but you may want to start off by putting out your flames of rage and taking a step back. By maintaining composure and putting your friend's eternal, or even temporary, happiness first, you can find a way to put a cushion between you and that rock.
What to say
To start off, only cold, hard facts are going to get you anywhere with your friend. "Someone told me that...' isn't going to hold enough water to put out the flames when the drama explodes in your face. You should never confront this type of situation with hearsay and with things you didn't observe with your own eyes, says Jeff
King, a licensed marriage and family therapist with Shane M. Jones and Associates."Let them be in charge of how it goes down,"he says.
To do this, King says to start
"YOUR FRIEND IS JUST DOING WHAT THEY THINK IS BEST FOR YOU. THAT'S WHY YOU HAVE FRIENDS. THEY KEEP YOU IN CHECK." LIZ RUSSELL, OVERLAND PARK SENIOR
off by saying something like,
"I want to tell you something
that will be hard and painful to
hear. How would you like me
to tell you?" Your friend might
feel a numbing blanket of panic
cover every inch of his body, but
it will let your friend know that
you genuinely care about his
feelings.
A good support system
Stick around after telling your friend that his boo is cheating, but don't get too involved. You should maintain a subjective and neutral stance and give some space so that your friend and the cheating partner can work things out on their own, King says. David Scoppa, Fayetteville, Ark., senior, says he was lucky to have a good friend when his ex-girlfriend cheated on him. "I played it cool to the guy that told me, and then I found roundabout ways to find out from her," Scoppa says.
Call'em out
Another approach is to go to the cheater and tell him what you know about his "extracurricular activities." Liz Russell, Overland Park senior, believes this is the best way to intervene, "If I knew both of them, I would go to the cheater and say' Either
you tell them today or I will tell them today," Russell says. She's had first-hand experience in having to tell a friend about a loose lover. "It was absolutely awful because you know it will break their heart," Russell says. By confronting infidelity you put the situation fully in the couple's hands and prevent the risk of being the evil messenger.
If the deceitful sack of crap won't admit to cheating on your friend, it is your duty to step in. Before you jump into the fire, think about what to say. Trust your best judgment and be prepared that your friend won't want to hear what you have to say, says Dr. John Wade, a psychologist at Counseling and Psychological Services in Watkins Memorial Health Center. Feedback is a useful tool as well.
"Discuss it hypothetically, you don't have to say who it is, with
DON'T...
try to apply your own theories to the situation.
make judgments about the cheater to your friend.
get sucked into a communication triangle with both of them.
feel guilty for telling.
tell your friend in order to fulfill your own agenda.
say you saw the "warning signs."
tell them before a big test or other stressful event.
Sources: Jeff King, marriage and family therapist with Shane M. Jones and Associates, and Dr. John Wade, psychologist at Counseling and Psychological Services in Watkins Health Center
a friend or two." Wade says "This way you can see if your logic makes sense to other people."
Telling a friend her significant other is cheating on her can be difficult. Make sure you have the facts and are ready to accept your friend's reaction to the news.
Say you'll be there
In the event that your friend gets pissed at you, there are a few important things to remember. Realize that the anger isn't meant toward you even though you may be in its path, Wade says. Keep yourself calm even if you want to punch out a few teeth. The anger will soon be swallowed by pain, and your friend will need a shoulder to catch snot and tears.
"When things like this happen in life, we need our friends," Wade says.
Be supportive of your friend's decision even if you don't agree with it. If they stick with the relationship, remind yourself that at least you're not the one dating the village bicycle.

WARRING LYMPHOMA
KID SQUARE
How Jay Warring, Paola junior, overcame non- Hodgkin's lymphoma
by Bart Vandever
At the age of 13, just as eighth grade was scheduled to begin and most kids were worrying about how baggy their pants should be and what backpack to buy, Jay Warring, Paola junior, was worrying about his diagnosis.
The doctors had told him he had non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) a potentially deadly disease. This is when his battle began.
The new beginning
NHL is more likely to be life-threatening if the patient is young and can lead to death within a year, says Ronald L. Stephens, medical director of the Oncology Center at Lawrence Memorial Hospital. Luckily, Warring's lymphoma had not advanced severely, and he was diagnosed as a stage-two level out of a possible four.
The doctors at Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Mo., informed Warrring's family that he had an 80-percent chance of survival. He immediately began chemotherapy by way of injection every two weeks.
When the therapy began, fever, night sweats and weight loss followed, and Warring was in and out of the hospital on a regular basis. But someone was always by his side — Warring's mother, Catherine, spent every day with him in the hospital and his grandparents moved into the Warring house for support.
"What was important before you found out he had cancer isn't important anymore. Everything then focused on that within our family. We spent all our energy trying to get him well," Catherine Warring says.
While his treatment was

been accepted into actor Paul Newman's Hole in the Wall Gang Camp, a retreat in Connecticut for terminally ill children. Soon after, he was on a flight to to enroll in the camp that changed his life.

nurses awaited Warring as he entered the arched gates of the camp. Located off of main roads and nestled in the serene forests of the countryside, the camp was like a miniature village with cabins dotting the landscape. There, Warring spent much of his time with kids far younger than himself.
"I think seeing and meeting all those people was more traumatizing than actually being sick. A lot of them didn't make it too much longer. Some didn't make it out of a two-week session at camp." Warring says.
One incident in particular has remained in Warring's mind. A young camper with AIDS, who was both missing a leg and often in a wheelchair, decided to scale the majority of a 40-foot climbing wall with no hesitation and no help. "He never let his physical state stop him. It's just one of those moments that really sticks with you forever," Warring says.
Warring returned from the camp newly charged and
inspired to fight and conquer his disease. And eventually he did.
The radiation was deemed a success, but in its wake the disease left Warring exhausted and often sick. He slept around 18 hours a night and, as his freshman year of high school went along, bouts of mono took

The rate of NHL diagnoses has skyrocketed in the last 40 years and is now being called an epidemic. As of 2001, the lifetime risk for being diagnosed with the disease was 2.08 percent.

and Practices on Oncology
their toll. As Warring missed more school, the pressure to catch up dug at him each day until he made the hard choice to drop out during his sophomore year.
"He had just missed so much of the high school things like prom. At that point he just couldn't relate to his classmates as much," Catherine Warring says.
The battle continues...
After dropping out, Warring concentrated on eating well and working out. In time he completed his GED and enrolled in classes at Johnson County Community College. There, he found that getting back into the school routine was easier said than done.
"For a while I had no idea how to study, nor did I have any idea what I wanted to do or how to go about doing it," he says. Then, turning to the strength he had built up over the years, Warring worked hard, passed his classes and decided to enroll at KU as a nursing major, a decision inspired by the help he had received at camp.
Now,Warring is succeeding in classes at the University. He switched his major as he developed an interest in anthropology and he is conducting research on undocumented workers under Bartholomew C. Dean, associate professor of anthropology.
"Your mind is the most resilient thing in the world," Warring says. "It can keep you sane through finals, through family tragedy, through anything."

It's 1:30 p.m. and Sarah has slept through her 9 a.m. class for the second time this week. Maybe her cell phone died, and the alarm she set on it never went off. She snatches the phone from under her pillow and flips it open. It's on. She doesn't remember falling asleep last night and feels exhausted. She wishes she didn't have to get out of bed at all.
The Wichita senior frantically stuffs the mass of papers scattered across her bedroom floor into her backpack and rushes out the door wearing the same hooded sweatshirt she passed out in the night before. Her head pounds as she makes the 30-minute trek to campus, hoping she will make it to her 2:30 class on time.
Sarah is greggy because she took two 5-milligram Percocet tablets last night. Percocet is commonly prescribed to relieve moderate to severe pain. She got it from a friend to calm her nerves while studying. The pills don't usually knock her out for that long, she says. "I was too stressed out I was worrying my ass off," she says.
Most people who take prescription medications use them properly, but others use painkillers and depressants recreationally as party drugs or to "relax." The 2005 National Household Survey on Drug Abuse revealed that 6.9 million young adults aged 18 to 25 had abused prescription drugs
Of those surveyed for 2005 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, 59.8 percent of those who misused prescription painkillers say they got them from a friend.

at least once. Using these drugs without a prescription might lead to jail time and can lead to physical dependence, liver damage and possibly death.
Pill-poppin'partying
Partying with a cocktail of alcohol and prescription painkillers or sedatives seems to be a growing trend.
Sarah last popped a pill at a weekend house party to loosen up. She felt really happy, she says, but after a few vodka drinks she couldn't get off the couch. She thought the pill was Vicodin — it was round, light-blue and inscribed "Roche 10." It feels good, really good, especially with alcohol, she says. "It made me forget about everything else."
According to the pill identification Web site drugs.com, Sarah's "Vicodin" was actually a 10-milligram dose of Valium, a sedative, or central nervous system (CNS) depressant commonly prescribed to reduce anxiety. Sarah trusts her friends who dispense the prescription pills to her, so it doesn't bother her that she doesn't know exactly what she's taking.
Relief from the stresses of school, family and everyday life are Sarah's reasons for using prescription painkillers and sedatives. It makes her feel more relaxed and carefree than using alcohol alone, and she can drink less to get her desired effects, she says.
Fatal attraction
Hydrocodone (Lortab, Vicodin) is listed as one of the U.S. Drug EnforcementAdministration's drugs of concern. It is the most commonly
prescribed painkiller, with more than 124 million prescriptions dispensed last year. It is generally abused for its narcotic effects of euphoria and relaxation, and is often combined with alcohol. In 2005, hydrocodone caused 42,491 emergency room visits, more than any other pharmaceutical narcotic, according to the DEA.
The addiction debate
When used properly, painkillers work by blocking pain signals going to the brain or by interfering with the brain's interpretation of the signals. "So if someone punched you, it isn't going to hurt," says Cathy Thrasher, head of pharmacy at Watkins Memorial Health Center.
The negative side effects of painkillers are exacerbated when alcohol is added to the mix. The pills cause drowsiness, deaten responses and slow actions. The most lethal consequence is an increased chance of respiratory depression, says Thrasher. When that happens, the body loses its ability to breathe, which can lead to death.
Painkillers can effectively mitigate chronic pain, but they can also lead to addiction. Some experts
Thrasher says a problem bigger than the drug's physical effects is the amount of acetaminophen it contains. A typical painkiller contains 500 milligrams of acetaminophen, and the liver can only handle 4,000 milligrams of acetaminophen per day. So if, for example, eight painkillers are taken in one day, combined with alcohol that is also metabolized in the liver, there is a high chance for liver damage. Thrasher says.

believe the pills can be taken safely for years with minimal risk of addiction, while others recognize the risk of severe dependency.
These commonly prescribed drugs can cause individuals' bodies to start feeling that they need the drugs in order to feel normal. Some users experience feelings of withdrawal even when using their prescription as directed.
Brebcca, Topeka senior, had a prescription for Lortab after she had knee surgery a few months ago. She took her medication as prescribed, and when the pain in herkine went away, she quit taking the medication. "I began to feel really nervous and uncomfortable. Then I would take another Lortab, and feel normal again," she says.
Rebecca believes she was experiencing withdrawal from her extended use of painkillers, but after her prescription ran out, she was forced to quit taking them cold turkey, she says. "I was really worried I had become addicted, but the uncomfortable feeling eventually went away." The "uncomfortable feeling" was nervousness and an inability to fall asleep. These symptoms appeared on days she didn't take her prescription and lasted for several weeks.
Addiction usually occurs because some people who use the prescription drugs experience a euphoric effect, says Andrew Barclay, a doctor at Preferred Medical Associates in Andover. About 5 percent of patients prescribed these drugs experience withdrawal symptoms, which are commonly sweating, nausea and abdominal pain. The longer a person has a prescription, the more likely addiction will occur, Barclay says.
Using the drugs without a
prescription doesn't necessarily mean a person is more at risk for addiction or the negative side effects than if they are using them as prescribed." A drug is a drug is a drug, to anyone," Barclay says.
Although Sarah now frequently misuses prescription pills, she was first prescribed painkillers after she had her wisdom teeth taken out when she was 14 years old. "The pain was unbearable and the Lortabs helped. Then I realized they not only relieved my pain but improved my mood," she says.
A few days after the procedure the pain was gone, but three Lortabs remained in Sarah's medicine cabinet. "I took them all at once and felt great all day," she says. Sarah didn't think she was addicted to Lortab, but if she could have refilled her prescription she would have, she says.
Getting the hook-up
It never crossed Sarah's mind to use the drugs recreationally before her friends told her about it and gave her a few pills. Now she always obtains the drugs from friends, she says.
She got her latest batch of unidentified painkillers from a friend who cleans the house of an elderly woman who has hundreds of the "happy pills" lining her medicine cabinet. The friend takes small quantities at a time, hoping the woman will never notice. Because the friend knocked off the pills for free, Sarah doesn't have to pay for them either, she says.
Obtaining prescription pills through friends is common. According to the 2005 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, 59.8 percent of those surveyed who misused prescription painkillers reported that the source of the drug was a friend or relative. Another 16.8
percent reported they they got the drug from one doctor. Only 4.3 percent got the pain relievers from a drug dealer or other stranger and 0.8 percent reported buying the drug on the internet.
According to a 2005 report by the National Institute of Drug Abuse, narcotics providers should notice any increases in the amount of the drug the patient needs, as well as frequent requests for refills before the prescription is set to expire. Doctors should also be aware that abusers may engage in "doctor shopping" by visiting several doctors or pharmacies to obtain multiple prescriptions.
Dr. Barclay says he can usually tell when patients are attempting to obtain a prescription when they don't need one."I have a number of patients who try to get them over the phone on the weekends and say my partner prescribed them," he says. However, this method typically doesn't work because the rules of his practice prohibit him from filling these prescriptions without seeing the patient himself.
Watkins pharmacy also notices when patients try to fill multiple prescriptions before they should have run out. "We are used to what their prescription patterns are, then that raises a red flag," says Thrasher, the head of pharmacy.
Risky business
In addition to the health risks, misusing prescription drugs is illegal. Painkillers containing hydrocodone (Lortab, Vicodin, Percocet) and oxycodone (OxyContin) are considered Schedule II controlled substances under the Controlled Substance Act of 1970 (CSA). They are listed among other highly-abused drugs such as methamphetamine and cocaine. Sedatives (Vallium, Xanax) are considered Schedule IV.
Federal law prohibits buying controlled substances without a valid prescription from a doctor. This means there must be an actual relationship with the doctor, and most state laws require a physical

The CSA mandates that the first offense of simple possession carry a sentence of up to one year in jail, a fine of $1,000 or both. The consequences increase with multiple offenses.
Prescription drugs that come from foreign countries can also be ordered from Web sites. Some of these sites provide prescriptions written by "cyber doctors" through online questionnaires. These are not considered valid prescriptions and trying to fill one may be punishable by imprisonment under federal law. It is also a felony to import drugs into the United States

Sarah doesn't have a problem taking painkillers, although it is written directly on the bottle, "CAUTION: Federal law prohibits transfer of this drug to any person other than the patient for whom prescribed."

TEN WARNING SIGNS OF PRESCRIPTION PAINKILLER DEPENDENCY
Usage increase Over time, it is common for individuals taking prescription medications to grow tolerant of the effects of their prescribed dose.
Change in personality Changes in a person's normal behavior can be a sign of dependency. Shifts in energy, mood and concentration may occur as everyday responsibilities become secondary to relief the prescription provides.
Social withdrawal
Social withdrawal A person experiencing a dependency problem may withdraw from family, friends and other social interaction.
Change in daily habits and appearance
Time spent obtaining prescriptions
and appearance Dependency may result in poor hygiene or a change in sleeping and eating habits.
top priority.
Time spent obtaining prescriptions A dependant person will spend large amounts of time driving great distances and visiting multiple doctors to obtain the drugs. Watch for signs that he or she seems preoccupied with a quest for medication, demonstrating that the drug has become their
Ongoing use
Ongoing use
Continued use after a medical condition has improved will result in the person needing prescription extensions.
The person might talk of how they need just a little longer on the medication in order to get well. He or she might also complain frequently about doctors who refused to write the prescription for one reason or another.
Increased sensitivity Normal sights, sounds and emotions might become overly stimulating to the person. Hallucinations are also possible.
Blackouts and forgetfulness Another clear indication of dependence is when the person regularly forgets what's happened and suffers blackouts.
Defensiveness Abusers can become very defensive if they feel their secret is being discovered. They might even react to simple requests or questions by lashing out.
Neglect responsibilities
A dependent person may call in sick to work more often, or neglect school and bills.

DRUNK AND AWAKE

Alcohol and caffeine in the same can
by Erika Bentson
After a week spending hours staring at a computer screen, Krista Suter, Shawnee junior, stumbles around like a zombie with bloodshot eyes and a throbbing headache. Suter, an illustration major, has been working on projects all week. She's tried to keep stress at bay and can't believe she finally made it to Friday.
Suter really wants to go out and give her liver a workout, but she needs something to keep her from passing out. Luckily, she can drink a beverage that will wake her up and get her drunk.
Without caffeine and alcohol, the lifestyle of a college student wouldn't be the same. So mixing the two was inevitable. There have been Red Bull-and-vodka concoctions and Jager bombs for years, but now companies like Miller and Anheuser-Busch have released malt beverages with the caffeine already mixed in. These beverages, like Bud Extra and Sparks, are what Chris McKinney, assistant manager at Mass Beverage, 3131 Neider Road, calls hybrid drinks, blending alcohol, caffeine, ginseng and taurine.
Anheuser-Busch introduced
Krista Suter, Shawnee junior, drinks from a can of Sparks Light after finishing her homework.
Bud Extra in Feb. 2006, second to its cousins, Tilt and Tilt Green, which were introduced in 2005.
The market is booming, says Mike Bourneuf, team leader at O'Malley Beverage, 2050 Packer Ct. Sales from last year have risen 70 percent.
The drinks are intended for a younger crowd, especially those who want to party all day, Bourneuf says. It's a good alternative when you're going to be drinking for a long time, like on St. Patrick's Day and during Mardi Gras, and you need something to break the monotonous cycle of beer after beer, he says.
In case you were worried that mixing alcohol, a depressant, and caffeine, a stimulant, will create opposite effects on your body, relax. Unless you have a serious medical condition, drinking these things shouldn't hurt you.
TILLY
SPARKS
LIGHT
says Terry Riordan, a physician at Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine, 346 Maine St. He added that some may think that, by drinking caffeine along with alcohol, they will be able to stay alert and do things they wouldn't normally do when drinking, like drive. The alcohol will still dull your brain, even along with the caffeine, Riordan says.
The next time you're feeling sluggish and need something to help you to the bar, try a drink that has the best of both worlds. And if you're working to slim down, Sparks and Tilt come in reduced calorie formulas. But as always, never drink and drive.

health tip
Vinegar is good on salad, but great on hair and skin
Vinegar is a versatile beauty product that fits a college student's budget. It's a great aftershave for men — just splash a little on your face after shaving. A mixture of half apple cider vinegar and half warm water can help control oily skin.Vinegar also works in hair — just add about a tablespoon as you are rinsing for extra conditioning, or massage vinegar into your scalp before shampooing to help control dandruff.

Loni Hosking Year:1989 Degree: Sculpture Hometown: Wichita
Back in the day: Because of her rebel streak, Hosking dropped out of high school during her senior year and moved to Lawrence to earn a GED and start early at KU. She began as a theatre design major, but it was too regimented for her style. "I go into the Art and Design Building and it just felt so great," she says. "To me, college was all about freedom and fun. When I first started going to KU, I liked art and called myself creative, but by the time I graduated I called myself an artist."
Today: Hosking has designed clothes for three years, but decided a long time ago that she was going
to make art that did more than collect dust. She learned business skills by managing WaxMan Candles, 609 Massachusetts St., and opened her own boutique last March. Eco Boutiquet, 918 Massachusetts St., is developed around recycled fashions from Hosking's clothing line, Eco Couture, and her designer name, Loni Bo Bonny.
If you stain your favorite T-shirt with red wine, don't even think about that trash can. Hosking can take the sleeves, combine them with three stupid shirts, and volla, you have a new favorite dress." it puts it on a one-of-a-kind level." Hosking says," I cater to the unique individual."
Approximately 30 local artists sell their work on consignment at Eco Boutique. Hosking also imports things like incense and pop-can tab purses to compliment the local work.
Recycling is sexy: Hosking has been a thrift shopper for 23 years and says that if you go in with an open mind,you can see many other uses for things. At her boutique one can find skirts made from five different recycled garments, neckties with odd additions and green underwear with white lace and a patch that reads, "Love your Wetlands." It's re-thinking it for reuse and squeezing every bit of life out of something. Hosking says, "We live a throwaway kind
OLEE
of life.It's just taking this trash and making it this treasure."
The average price of a garment is $25. Purses range from$ 10 to $200.
Why her job is kick-ass! Her goal is to recycle and have a cool job. Being able to grow up and have your own store that will sell your art, that's what you want to do when you graduate college as an artist, she says.
If you would like to sell your work at Eco Boutique, Hosking is all for it. contact her (785) 856-8905.

BACK TO SEED
A story about a forgotten space, and one student's dedication to it
Aaron Olsen, Overland Park junior, and Greg Hill, Brentwood, Tenn., junior, work in the plot of land Olsen turned into a garden. Olsen tried to recruit a larger group to help with the garden, but was unsuccessful.
.
BORN AND BLOOMING IN THE GARDEN
JAMES M. HENDERSON
PHOTOS COURTESY OF AARON OLSEN
by Frank Tankard
Pardon me if this story isn't about anything that you will care about — if all it's about is an empty space that maybe nobody except one guy ever cared about.
A year and a half ago I wrote a story for The Kansan about Aaron Olsen. He was starting a garden on campus, on a piece of land that had been abandoned five years earlier and had become somewhat of an eyesore — the type of eyesore people might have complained about if it was in a more prominent place.
As it was, this piece of land sat in a forgotten corner of campus. Even describing where it is proves difficult; It's on the east side of campus, near the scholarship halls, behind the University Relations building, which is behind Smith Hall (the building in front of the Kansas Union with
the Moses statue in front of it).
Just know this: it was a weed patch, and when I heard about Olsen's design to turn it into a garden, I figured it would make an easy story. What I didn't figure was how Olsen's effort would stick in my mind, or how sorry I'd be to see the garden in its current state.
What Olsen, then a sophomore, set out to do was turn the weed patch, which he'd walked through every day on his way to campus from K.K. Amini Scholarship Hall, into a nice, vegetable-producing garden.
This simple act may not sound like much to you, but to the story — one student's effort to turn a weed patch into a garden — held all sorts of higher, parable-like implications: man vs. nature, growth vs. decay, caring vs. neglect, action vs. idleness.
Think of every time you've stepped around a broken bottle
on the sidewalk, driven past a weedy parking lot, or walked by a spray-painted wall. Think of every time you've thought, "Somebody ought to do something about that."
THE GARDEN'S NOT REALLY WHAT'S MOST EFFICIENT. WHAT SUPPORTS THE COMMUNITY MOST,WHAT DRIVES VOLUNTEERING AND GETS STUDENTS INVOLVED IS REALLY MORE IMPORTANT."
AARON OLSEN,
OVERLAND PARK JUNIOR
But moving from desire to action is no small task. It takes time, effort, planning, dedication, blah blah blah. Not fun stuff. And that's where Olsen was able to turn the corner — he continued to care when the work got dull.
He told me a year and a half ago, soon after hed first sunk his shovel into the soil, that it would take at least a year before the plot of land really started to resemble a garden.
"The way I think about it, it would maybe be more efficient to have a fundraising event and take the money to Costco or Sam's Club and buy some cans of beans or something," he said then. "The garden's not really what's most efficient. What supports the community most, what drives volunteering and gets students involved is really more important."
Over the course of the fall and spring semesters, with shovels, hammers and hands, Olsen and the small group of volunteers he enlisted slowly nurtured the weed patch into something that started to resemble a garden. The work was slow and tedious.
First, with help from Facilities Operations, they tore down the abandoned playground equipment that had sat rusting in the five years since Hilltop Child Development Center moved away. They broke down the dilapidated deck. They shoveled out the gravel that covered the soil. They started to build garden beds, using boards from the deck and the playground equipment, and used some of the gravel to fill paths between the beds.
Olsen worked tirelessly — shoveling, driving nails into boards, weeding, planting. This patch of land was his baby.
In the spring, Olsen and his volunteers filled the beds with topsoil and started planting. Soon enough, up sprouted tomatoes, peas, rosemary, basil, carrots. It wasn't yet what Olsen had envisioned — there wasn't enough produce to make a
substantial donation to a soup kitchen —but from a weed patch, food had started growing.
This is why the state of the garden today is so spiirting. Pass through it and you see only sparse signs of the months of labor: a hose buried in weeds, a group of tree stumps arranged as seats, some boards nailed together. Just a neglected piece of land, one of several you walk past every day.
Olsen has been studying in Spain since September. Last spring, he held a meeting with the idea of finding people to tend to the garden while he was gone. Few showed up.
In July, Olsen will return. He says he will work to restore the space. Below the weeds, the structure for a garden is there. For now, this neglected corner of campus — where beauty once started to grow — waits for him.

WHAT I LEFT BEHIN
Corona Extra
In spite of the age difference,the bond between me and my little sister is timeless
OLD NAVY
I said goodbye to my little sister, Kitty, on a hot mid-August afternoon. We'd all driven up to college together — Mom, Dad, Kitty and me. The car ride was sad and quiet. Kitty was seven years old and had cried when I told her I was moving away. I wished I could bring her. Maybe she could live with me and my three roommates in the scholarship hall, I thought.
The day Kitty was born was the longest, boringest day of my life. There was no school, so I spent the day at my aunt and uncle's house while my parents were at the hospital. My aunt tried to keep me entertained by dealing out game after game of "War" in front of the TV. "Do you ever watch soap operas?" "No," I said. We watched one after another, and the clock moved like it was underwater.
Early that evening, my dad called and my aunt took me to the hospital. I was 11 and in fifth grade
hospital. I was 11 and in fifth grade — an only child. My family had recently bought a 1987 Chrysler New Yorker and a piano, sold our house and my dad's motorcycle and moved from Farmington, N.M., to Overland Park and family. Before we moved, our shaggy old sheep dog, Henry, my lifelong companion, had grown so sick that all he could do was lie in the
same place in our back yard with flies buzzing all over him. The vet was no place for this dog to die, so my dad took him to the desert and shot him.
And now I was riding to the hospital, a boy with no dog, few friends, parents bugging him to
take piano lessons,
glad to get away
from Days of Our
Lives and anxious
about meeting his
little sister.
When I got there my mom was sitting on a bed and my dad was holding my sister in the corner of the room. "Do you want to hold her?" he asked. He put her

My dad and I drove home that night and my mom and Kitty stayed at the hospital. It snowed a little on the way home and I looked out the window. Suddenly, the new school and the piano and the dead dog and the new house and everything else fell away. I was too old to be ambivalent about my new sister. I knew a line had been drawn down the middle of my childhood; pre-Kitty and post-Kitty.

house, with a 1994 Oldsmobile Cutlass instead of the New Yorker and a two-year-old maltese dog named Molly. I had taken piano lessons for a few years and now it was Kitty's turn.

went to Catholic school and my dad coached her soccer team.She was smart and liked drawing and writing. She liked staying up late and sleeping in and the first thing she said every school day was "I hate this day."She was funny. In the winter she loved sledding and never complained
One day that summer we were squabbling about something and I told her, "Well, in a month I'll be moving out and you won't have to worry about me anymore." She stopped talking and her eyes welled up. I realized then that, though she knew I was

In high school, I was busy with school and friends and track, and I wasn't home a lot, but we always got along well. I would tickle her and throw her around on the couch and take her with me on errands and we would play Rock Paper Scissors — the kind where you lick your finger and slap the loser on the arm. We had inside jokes that no one else thought were funny.

Move-in day came unceremoniously in August. Everything was bustling at Battenfield Scholarship Hall with talk of carpet and trips to Target, and I met my roommates and the guys across the hall. I kept looking out of the corner of my eye at the little girl standing quietly next to her mom. We walked back to the car and I shook my dad's hand and hugged my mom. Kitty stood quietly, not crying but with teary eyes. I picked her up, hugged her and set her down. Then I went back inside to all these new people and college.
These days my parents live in the same house and drive a 1998 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight (I drive the 1994 Cullas!) Kitty is
in fifth grade, the same grade I was in when she was born, and she is done taking piano lessons. Her hair isn't as curly as it used to be and she likes animals. Since I started college she's had three chickens, two rabbits, a hamster, a fish, a cat, two mice and the dog, Molly, of course.
She has my cell number memorized. I have her picture in my wallet and on my desk in my apartment. When I come home I still tickle her and we still have jokes. She and my mom are in the process of boxing up all of my things at home and she is going to move into my room, which is about two inches bigger than hers. I'll be graduating in May and I won't be moving back home. But that's OK, Kitty and I know that no matter where we are in our lives, we have a connection that is timeless.

Freedom Writers
MOVIE
[Two women] seated in a room, one holding a small object and the other looking at it.
Freedom Writers tries to be the literary version of Stand and Deliver, but don't dismiss it just because it doesn't match the emotion or capture the inner-city life as poignantly as that 1988 Oscar-nominated film. Though it lacks the singular student presence that Lou Diamond Phillips brought to Jaime Escalte's calculus class, Writers still delivers, on the shoulders of two-time Oscar winner Hilary Swank.
Inspired by real events, Writers depicts a mid-90s Long Beach, Calif., who says Snowp turf) tarnished by the violence of the Rodney King riots. Enter Erin Growell (swank), a bright-eyed, Starbucks-sipping first-time teacher from the burbs (at one point she tells a student to "striptribin"), prepared to hand out copies of Homer's Odyssey to her students, most of whom hover around a fifth grade reading level. Like the other teacher-inspired-student flicks, 'Miss G' comes to realize that earning the respect of her students requires more than a passing on of comma usage rules, and through the adaptation of her methods to match her streetwise freshmen, Room 203 slowly but surely becomes a safe haven from the outside
maelstrom of gang violence, dilapidated neighborhoods and disenchanted faculty members.
Swank pulls off the teacher look by trading in her Million Dollar Baby boxing gloves for chalk and conservative skirts, and she's able to channel the raw energy she brought with a right hook into the more refined (but only slightly)
classroom.
Hindering Swank's performance is an average screenplay more insistent on verbally force-feeding the urban plight than visually developing it, rendering the incessant "you don't know what it's like out there" rants cliched.

All of a Sudden I Miss Everyone MUSIC by Explosions in the Sky
Explosions in the Sky have made a name for themselves over the last few years with their ambient anthems. Strictly instrumental, Explosions rely on the music to paint an emotional landscape.
Two years in the making All of a Sudden I Miss Everyone finds the group continuing their signature sound. The album starts strongly with "The Birth and Death of the Day" with its crashing emotions and blistering energy. The album remains pretty good, but nothing comes close to topping the opening track.
Like all ambient music, it can listen listeners easily. How many seven-minute songs can you hear without losing interest? Perhaps CDs and mp3s are the wrong format for ambient music. It seems more suited to a live setting, when the sound can
swallow you, or a movie in which the music helps to bring emotion to a story.
Both of those things seem to work for Explosions, as they wrote the music for Friday Night Lights and frequently tour. They'll be at the Bottleneck on March 31, where you'll have a chance to truly understand what their music is all about.

Freshman forward, Danielle McCray, grimaces as she struggles to keep control of the ball during Wednesday games in Bramage Coliseum against Kansas State. McCray scored five points for the Jawhays and brought down three rebounds. Kansas lost to Kansas State 59-55.
BY CASE KEEFER
MANHATTAN — In a game where Kansas did so many things right, tree throw shooting doomed the jayhawks in Wednesday night's loss.
But Kansas was only 39 percent from the free throw line, including multiple misses at the most crucial points of the game.
The lav Hawks out rebounded the bigger Kansas State Wildcat team by 23 and shot a higher percentage from the field.
"Obviously the glaring statistic was the free throws," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "But shooting 7-of-18 and still having a chance to win shows a lot."
Kansas often looked anxious from the line and seemed to throw shots up without much concentration. Part of that could be blamed on the noise at Bramlage Coliseum. The attendance on Wednesday was 6,597. That's nearly triple what the jayhawks are used to at their own home games.
The Jayhawks dropped their 12th straight to the Wildcats.
Henrickson said the poor free throw shooting had nothing to do with the pressure associated with breaking the skid.
"We don't talk about the streak," she said. "It has nothing to do with that."
Freshman guard Kelly Kohn had the most trouble converting fouls
into points.
Kohn blew past defenders and got to the basket easily all night. In the first half, she raced from the perimeter twice to go up strong to
the basket and was fouled. She then missed all four free throw attempts.
The layhawks were only 1-for-8 for free throws in the first half. Appropriately, Kansas went into the locker room down seven at half time.
"I think it's just a mental thing," Kohn said. "I didn't step up to the line with confidence."
Nothing changed in the second half until it was too late.
"We're the best free throw shooting team in practice that I've ever coached," Henrickson said. "I promise we're not like this."
With 2:48 remaining in the game, freshman guard LaChelda Jacobs was sent to the foul line with a chance to tie the game at 53. Jacobs clanked one off of the back iron and short armed the other.
Right on cue, during the following Wildcat possession, freshman guard Shalec Lehning was fouled and made both free throws. Kansas State shot 68 percent from the line for the game, which translated into 15 points.
Down four with 48 seconds left, senior guard Shaquina Mosley made both her shots from the free-throw line. This gave Kansas the opportunity to send the game into overtime as time expired, but much like their performance from the free throw line, the opportunity was wasted when the ball didn't find the basket.
Kansas will now have to wait a little over three weeks for another shot at finally beating Kansas State

Kansas struggled to convert not only on its final opportunity, but at many key moments throughout the game.

ing from the field, but made up for it with her absolutely dominant performance on the glass. She helped Kansas out rebound Kansas State by a margin of 54 to 31.
Senior guard Shaquina Mosley enjoyed yet another impressive performance on both sides of the ball. Mosley scored 17 points and pulled down seven rebounds to accompany her four assists. As has become routine in recent weeks, Mosley played superb defense.
As usual, Mosley was called upon to cover the opposition's most explosive scorer, in this case senior guard Claire Coggins. Mosley blanketed Coggins, allowing her to score only two points in the second half.
"Defensively, I thought we were good," said coach Bonnie Henrickson. "We were able to get up off our feet on the boards."
"Shaq had the speed, intensity, and pride to stay with her," said Henrickson. "I thought she got her to rush a little bit."
"It is a tough place to play with the rivalry," said freshman guard Kelly Kohn. "There are some things we can take out of this game that are positive."
All things considered, Kansas may have played its best game of the season in a hostile environment packed with purple-clad Wildcat faithful.

Bush advocates health care
Health care is too expensive for small businesses and individuals to afford, President Bush said Thursday at a roundtable discussion at Saint Luke's Hospital in Lee's Summit, Mo.

President George W. Bush arrived in Kansas City on Thursday, President Bush awarded a local volunteer for service in the Mid-America Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) and toured St. Lukes Hospital in Lee's Summit, Mo.
Sarah Leonard/KANSAN
He further explained the health care reform policy he introduced during his State of the Union address on Tuesday. Bush plan would support independent, privatized health care. This would keep health insurance and jobs separate. "People change jobs seven or eight times in this country before they turn 35," Bush said. "So you better have a moveable health plan."
Bush said that changes were needed to enable consumers to control their own health insurance.
Bush said that technology that helps doctors treat patients quickly and effectively needed to become more widespread.
"When a hospital modernizes, when you go from files to electronics, it helps hold the cost of health care down." Bush said.
Storing information electronically would make another part of Bush's plan possible: price transparency. Price transparency allows consumers to see how much they will be spending on health care. Bush congratulated Saint Luke's Hospital for using advanced technology that allows for price transparency.
"This hospital system has been willing to place its prices and its quality ratings out for consumers to see." Bush said. "Health care is an interesting industry, in that where a lot of times you have no idea of the price of the service your paying for."
Bush said that if consumers knew what they were getting and how much they were spending, they would make better purchasing decisions. Secretary of Health and Human Services Mike Leavitt agreed.
"People need to have access to their own records in a way that is convenient to them," Leavitt said. "Once you have cost and quality, you're now making decisions based on value."
Esmealda Wergn, a waitress in Overland Park and a mother of two, was on a panel of people who spoke with Bush. She said good health insurance was too expensive for her

》 ATHLETICS DIRECTOR
Perkins honored at USC-Aiken

Kansan File Photo
The University of South Carolina at Aiken unveiled plans to name a Wall of Champions after Kansas Athletics Director Lew Perkins earlier this month.
USC-Aiken Athletics Director Randy Warrick said the wall would include a timeline of prominent coaches, athletes and administrators from the university's history. Perkins coached basketball there from 1969 until 1979 and served as athletics director from 1969 until 1980.
Lew Perkins, KU athletics director, is honored by Randy Warick, USC-Aiken athletics director, for his contribution to the USC-Aiken athletics department.
During Perkins' tenure, the athletics program switched from the NAIA competition to NCAA
Division II. Warrick said that Perkins was the driving force behind that change as well as the large increase in the number of programs offered. When Perkins started as athletics director
"Nobody had more of an influence on the development of our program than Lew", Warrick said. "My vision was to do something to connect our former athletes with our current situation."
The wall will be part of a new convocation center that will include trophy cases and the Lew Perkins Wall of Champions, similar to the Booth Family Hall of Athletics at the front of Allen Fieldhouse. Warrick estimated the project would be completed by April.
to become the associate athletics director at the University of Pennsylvania.
RANDY WARRICK
Athletics Director, USC-Aiken
Warrick estimated that only four or five scholarship sports were available. He said there are now 11 scholarship sports at UC-Aiken. Perkins hired Warrick as the baseball coach, and was succeeded by him when Perkins left UC-Aiken
"Nobody had more of an influence on the development of our program than Lew."
The plans were revealed to
perkins before the Kansas vs. South Carolina basketball game in Columbia at a brunch attended by many of Perkins' former players from USC-Aiken. Warrick said he planned the surprise with the help of
Perkins' wife Gwen.
Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony said a few people in the Kansas Athletics Department knew of the plans beforehand as well.
"It was so out of left field that Lew never suspected anything," he said.
The original plan was to surprise Perkins with the plans in his suite at the game, but when Perkins invited many of his former players to a brunch earlier in the day. Warrick decided to unveil the plans then.
Perkins said they succeeded in keeping the secret from him.
"I was overwhelmed when they did it," he said. "I was totally caught off-guard."
Perkins said that he learned the ropes of college athletics during his time at USC-Aiken.
"Because of the size of the university, I did a lot of hands-on things," he said. "I taped ankles and my wife washed the clothes. I drove the school bus I learned a lot about it just because I had to do it all."
Warrick said that USC-Aken also has an endowed scholarship for athletes in Perkins' name. The university awarded him an honorary Doctor of Education degree in May 2005.

Satellites planned statewide Remote voting possible for 2008
BY TYLER HARBERT
Even though the next general election is more than a year away, Douglas County Clerk Jamie Shew is working hard to make sure voting in the future is as simple as possible.
"If the bill passes we would institute satellite voting in 2008," Shew said.
Shew was in Topeka last week pushing for statewide satellite voting, which allows registered voters to cast their ballots at places other than their designated precincts. The Kansas Legislature is considering a bill that would allow satellite voting in all counties.
Currently, only counties with populations of more than 250,000
"If they went home during an election they could have access from their counties."
in Kansas are permitted to institute satellite voting. Only two Kansas counties, Sedgwick and Johnson, currently qualify to use satellite voting. The new bill would allow each county to decide whether or not to implement satellite voting.
"It provides them another level of access to vote," Shew said. "If they went home during an election they could have access from their own counties."
JAMIE SHEW

Clerk
The bill
Shew, who is a proponent of paper-based balloting, said satellite voting wouldn't affect the county's use of paper ballots. Touch-screen voting technology would not be implemented, he said.
Even without buying new machines, Shew estimates satellite voting would cost the county between $6,000 and $7,000 for larger elections.
would permit voters to cast advance ballots at locations outside of the county courthouse, including places on and near campus.
He said satellite voting could also benefit new students who aren't familiar with their precincts or the county courthouse, and it could allow voting on Saturday.
Shew said advance satellite voting could help encourage student turnout.
Two KU students, Kelly Weddle, Topeka freshman, and Sarah Zimmerman, Lawrence freshman, both volunteered to help at the polls during the 2006 general election in the 10th Precinct, which falls predominately on campus and includes campus housing.
When voters came in on election day, the two students made sure the voters were in their correct precinct.
"I had people turn up in the wrong place who may have just given up," Weddle said. Still, Weddle said satellite voting might be more confusing than convenient.
"I think it would be harder to keep track of who already voted and who hadn't," she said.
Zimmerman said satellite voting might require fewer volunteer poll workers, but the process would be a

FINE ARTS
Exhibit uses new gallery
BY BRIAN LEWIS-JONES
A new gallery featuring work by fine arts majors will open this weekend on the third floor of the Art and Design Building.
The exhibition will be the first of several to open during the semester, said Sara Muzzy, coordinator of foundations at the School of Fine Arts. Thirty-four undergraduate students will have artwork on display from Sunday until Friday.
Galleries this semester will include a variety of work done by students, graduate students and faculty, including sculptures, paintings and expanded media, Muzzy said.
"It's a time when these students are trying to get their work shown," she said. "It's their opportunity."
Rehmatullah Jaghoori, Afghanistan senior, will be one of the artists contributing to the upcoming gallery. Two of his paintings, one a figure and another a landscape, will be on display.
"I love nature. I usually get my inspiration from nature; I usually get my inspiration from looking at people, from talking to people," he said.
Jaghoori, who came to the United
States in 1999, has been painting for over a decade. This is the first time his art will be in a University gallery, he said.
The gallery for undergraduate students will have its opening reception at 2 p.m. Sunday. A graduate student exhibition will be on display the following week.
All shows are free and open to the public.

MySpace, list leads to arrests

CLINT HUTH Dunlap Police Chief
Sequatchie County High School Principal Tommy Lyne said that he
declined to provide the specific wording on the posting, which has been removed.
"I am not saying we thwarted a shooting incident or an act of violence," Huth said. "On the other hand, had
this gone unchecked, down the road it could have grown into something a whole lot more serious than a list of names."
There was no evidence that the girls had weapons or that an attack had been imminent, Huth said.
The girls, ages 14 and 15, were charged with conspiracy to commit criminal homicide late Wednesday and taken to a juvenile facility. A juvenile court detention hearing was set Friday in Dunlap, about 40 miles northwest of Chattanooga.
Layne said he learned about the list Tuesday when a "young man came in with his grandmother and said his name was on the list."
No club or group was involved, said Layne, who described the girls as friends. The school has more than 600 students.
Sophomore Lakyn Ledford stayed home Thursday after learning that student athletes were on the list.
"I was very scared, my friends were scared, that's a scary thing, it can really happen," she told WTVC-TV.

Civil war nears as violence continues
BY BRIAN MURPHY ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEIRUT, Lebanon — University students loyal to Lebanon's government clashed with Hezbollah supporters Thursday, setting cars ablaze and battling with homemade clubs and stones. The mele deepened worries that Lebanon cannot contain the political and sectarian rivalries threatening to push it toward civil war.
But the fallout reaches far beyond the casualty count. The clashes, sparked by a cafeteria scuffle between pro-government Sunni Muslims and
At least three people were killed and dozens were injured before army troops backed by tanks and firing barrages of warning shots into the air dispersed most riots. The military then declared Beirut's first curfew since 1996.
It was the third straight day of violence, sparked by a Hezbollah led strike Tuesday that came ahead of a crucial gathering of donor nations in Paris. The conference Thursday raised pledges of $7.6 billion to help Prime Minister Fuad Saniora's U.S.-backed government rebuild after last summer's devastating Israel-Hezbollah war.
pro-Hezbollah Shittes, reinforced fears that Lebanon's sectarian divisions are erupting into violence as they did during the 1975-1990 civil war.
In Paris, Saniora pleaded to his countrymen to "distance themselves from tensions."
The chaos has paralyzed the government. Hezbollah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah said Wednesday that donors were backing the wrong side in the standoff and that he could topple Saniora at any time.
"No one can help a country if the people of this country don't want to help themselves" he said. "I call on your wisdom and reason."
Leaders on all sides called for calm. Nasrallah went on TV in the evening to tell followers it was a "religious duty" to get off the streets to allow security forces to keep order.
"I appeal to you in the name of Lebanon and human conscience ... It's a pity to waste Lebanon like this," said Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, a Hezbollah ally. "It is time we learn from the past."
Thursday's clashes in Beirut showed just how quickly any spark can turn into a wildfire.
The alarming violence has stunned supporters of both sides. But the leadership of both camps do not appear to be backing down.

Now playing tax evasion
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — Grammy-winning trumpeter Phil Driscoll was sentenced Thursday to a year and a day in prison for using his gospel music ministry in an income-tax evasion scheme.
BY BILL POOVEY ASSOCIATED PRESS
U. S. District Judge Curtis L. Collier allowed Driscoll 45 days to report to prison and agreed to decide by that March 12 deadline on Driscoll's request to remain free while he appeals his conviction.
The white-haired trumpeter said at the sentencing that he "never intended to take any money from our government, the country that I love."
"I never took a dollar that I didn't sign for," Driscoll said. "The purpose
of my life was the gift that God gave me"
Last June, a jury found Driscoll 58, guilty on charges of conspiracy and tax evasion from 1996 through 1999.
An IRS agent testified at the trial that Driscoll and his wife improperly used his Mighty Horn Ministries to shield the money and evade $128,627 in taxes.
The indictment accused Driscoll and his wife, Lynne, of scheming with Lynne Driscoll's mother, bookkeeper Christine McDonald-Blankenship, to avoid reporting personal income totaling more than $1 million.
The jury acquitted Lynne Driscoll on the conspiracy count and dead-locked on a tax evasion charge that was later dismissed.
At the end of the sentencing.
Phil Driscoll's unpaid tax total was reduced to a range of more than $30,000 but less than $80,000.
Collier did not impose a fine on Driscoll and said no restitution was due.
Driscoll recorded with several pop acts in the 1970s, including Joe Cocker, Stephen Stills, Leon Russell and Blood, Sweat and Tears. He received a Grammy in 1984.
He recorded more than 30 of his own albums of gospel and patriotic music, which he distributes through his ministry and its Web site.
Driscoll performed "America" at the dedication ceremony for Bill Clinton's presidential library in Little Rock, Ark. The judge, who was appointed by the former president, said Clinton was among those who sent him letters on Driscoll's behalf.

Technology revives cold case
BY KIM CURTIS ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — A fingerprint on a cigarette lighter, shotgun shells on and an informant helped lead to the arrests this week of eight men accused of killing a police officer in the 1970s, according to court papers released Thursday.
Some of the evidence was recovered using forensic techniques that didn't exist 30 years ago, according to the document, which was used to obtain an arrest warrant in the case.
Prosecutes say members of the Black Liberation Army, a violent offshoot of the Black Panthers, stormed the lobby of a San Francisco police station the night of Aug. 29, 1971, killing Sgt. John V. Young with a shotgun and injuring a civilian clerk with gunfire.
Prosecutors allege that Francisco Torres, Herman Bell and Henry Watson Jones staged the attack; that John Bowman, Richard Brown and Harold Taylor were the lookouts; and that Ray Michael Boudreaux and Ronald Bridgeforth were the getaway drivers.
Anthony Bottom was supposed
to be part of the attack team, but he was arrested the night before after attempting to fire a machine gun at a police sergeant, prosecutors say.
Bowman died of liver cancer in December, and Bridgeforth is believed to have fled the country. The seven others were arrested Tuesday on charges of murder and conspiracy to commit murder. An eighth, Richard O'Neal, was charged with conspiracy.
On the night of the shotgun siege,
police recovered items including a
ball point pen, a key, a cigarette
lighter, shotgun shells and backshot.
Torres' lawyer did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
Advances in the recovery of fingerprints helped a forensic investigator in 2003 match the prints on the lighter to Torres, according to the affidavit used to obtain his arrest warrant.
An unidentified informant, who was provided with immunity from prosecution and financial assistance for housing relocation, identified the men responsible for the attack in 2005, the affidavit said. The informant also told investigators that Bell criticized Torres for "dropping some item at the scene".
The affidavit also said that in 2004, an FBI investigator matched five of the 15 shotgun shells recovered from the crime scene to spent shells recovered from a shotgun found at Bell's New Orleans home in 1973. Police lost the shotgun in the years after it was recovered.
The Young case was reopened in 1999 and in 2005, but several suspects called to testify at grand jury hearings refused to testify both times.
Police also said that Bottom confessed to police in 1971 that he organized the police station attack.
Two years after the killing, Taylor and Bowman were arrested in New Orleans, but a judge dismissed the charges in 1976 because of allegations the men had been tortured by police officers during an interrogation. The duo became anti-torture advocates and vowed not to testify before a grand jury until the officers they accused of beating them were brought to justice.
Two defense lawyers said Wednesday they believe the new charges are retaliation for the former Panthers' torture allegations.

>> ACCIDENT
Car crash during filming puts Kidman in hospital
LOS ANGELES — Nicole Kidman was taken to a hospital after the Jaguar she was in crashed early Thursday during downtown shooting of "The Invasion," police said.
Kidman, 39, was examined at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and then released a short time later.
The jaguar was being towed by a camera rig that skidded while taking a corner and caused Kidman's car to hit a pole on West Sixth Street, police said. The actress was wearing a seat belt.
Warner Bros., a unit of Time Warner Inc., also said production
continued after the crash and Kidman was expected back on the set Thursday.
The Oscar-winning actress was involved in a scene involving an escape from zombie-like characters who are on the hood of the car.

Today is an 8
It's not a good time to go racing boldly forward. To win this battle, a more circultous route is recommended.
CANCER (June 22-July 22)
Today is a 7
There are more opportunities for socializing now. Don't talk about your recent successes however, or how much you've gained.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is 9
New rules and regulations inhibit your expression. It won't be long until you find a way to be effective, within the system.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Today is a 7
You're starting to wish you could run away from your regular job, but you can't. Don't make yourself sick with worry; start making plans for a nice vacation.

Today is a 7
You can get some rest, if you can stop worrying about money. The bottom line is this: it's not about money. It's about love.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.18)
Today is a 6
You've been very busy for the last few weeks. Spend an evening at home. Somebody or something there needs more of your attention. How long since you watered your plants?
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

University should waive fitness fee
With Americans constantly wanting and consuming more, it's predictable that they would begin to weigh more. The National Center for Health Statistics found that 64 percent of U.S. adults were overweight or obese. This number shouldn't be a shock because media have recently played up many feature stories about the dangers of obesity. What may be surprising, however, is that the NCHS also found that 59 percent of U.S. adults were not physically active at all.
The enjoyment and habit-forming benefits of physical activity are like anything else; they're easier to ingrain early in life rather than later. KU students are lucky to have the Robinson Recreation Center on campus to serve their fitness needs. Robinson recently offered a free week of KU Fit Classes, which ends on Sunday. While the free weights and cardio machines are open year-round and free of charge to current students, the Fit Classes require a fee of $45 per semester.
This fee should already be covered by student fees. Often that $45 does not guarantee a spot in the desired fitness class. When classes are limited to 30, people must be
turned away unless they get to the class up to 30 minutes prior to warming up. Students don't even try that hard to get signed into a full academic class.
With this high demand, many don't even break a sweat. College years include one of the biggest body image battles most will face. Lifestyle changes and poor eating choices are also rough on the body. An institution that wants to churn out healthy minds and bodies must re-evaluate this fee.
Some students cannot afford $45 per semester for Tae-Bo lessons. In fact, many students are eating Ramen noodles just scraping to get by. KU can offer free newspapers to the student body and $8 of printing per semester, surely it can cover the fitness fee. KU needs to reassess its student needs and demands and make those a priority. Students may not be pressuring the Administration for this fee to be covered, but the University must take notice of what its students are waiting in line for.

Bible has basis for self-judgment too
COMMENTARY
Many people who are against homosexuality claim God's word as the basis for their convictions. However many of them don't apply God's other teachings to their own lives.
One of the most well known preachers of God's "zero tolerance for homosexuality" policy is Fred Phelps, pastor of Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka.
For anyone unfamiliar with Phelps, he has become famous worldwide for using phrases like "God Hates America," "God Hats Fags" and is known for rioting at the funerals of fallen homosexual soldiers.
While Westboro's Web site lists biblical reasons why homosexuals "will burn in hell for all eternity" unless they "listen to the preaching of Westboro Baptist Church," the site takes the claims too far by attacking homosexuals on personal levels disconnected with sexual orientation.
Among the malevolent claims are,"17 percent of fags eat and/or rub the feces of their partners on themselves" and "about 50 percent of the women on death row are dykes." The fact that the site gives sources for the claims is irrelevant; in today's technology-based society, statistics on the Internet can be
BY FRANCESCA CHAMBERS
However, the current Pope gives a more appropriate solution to the issue while still taking a strong stance against the lifestyle. In a "Letter to the Bishops of the Catholic Church On the Pastoral Care of Homosexual Persons" in 1986 then-cardinal Ratzinger preached, "Therefore special concern and pastoral attention should be directed to those who have this condition, lest they be led to believe that the living out of this orientation in homosexual activity is a morally acceptable option. It is not."
As Phelps claims that the term "gay Christian" is an oxymoron, the Pope reveals contradictory values in the term "violent Christian" by stating, "It is deplorable that homosexual persons have been and are the object of violent malice in speech or in action. Such treatment deserves condemnation from the Church's pastors wherever it occurs."
I do not believe in the divine
right of the Pope, nor am I Catholic. Even so, it would do Phelps and other Americans good to follow the words of the Pope. If people are going to claim the Bible is the written word of God, then they cannot pick and choose which scriptures to live by.
Sure, there's biblical basis for opposing homosexuality. First Corinthians 6:9b-10 states, "Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God."
But there's biblical basis for violent judgment too. "For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you," reads Matthew 7:1.
Americans have the right to believe in whatever or whomever they want. Their relationship with God, or lack of one, is no one's business but their own. People need to start being less concerned with the actions of others and more concerned about saving themselves from "eternal damnation."

>> LETTER TO THE EDITOR
King's Christianity underreported
Despite Monday's chill I reluctantly climbed Mount Oread in honor of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. My hesitation want due to the cold weather, but my skepticism. "They're going to strip his significance bare of all its Christian content," I thought.
But I was wrong. The Multicultural Resource Center and Office of Multicultural Affairs did a fantastic job honoring King, as well as highlighting the Christian message that he embodied. The exhortations of Walter Kimbrough were relevant, deep, and engaging.
He did not shy away from insisting that King's life emulated the life of Jesus; King knew that "the cross that we bear precedes the crown that we wear," Kimbrough said. The Inspirational Gospel Voices lived up to their name not simply by inspiring, but also by proclaiming the good news of a majestic God.
The write-up in the Kansan, however, disappointed me. It portrayed King's vision and the event in the denuded and glossy way that Kimb艰 warned against.
Though one might hope it an accident that "Rev" usually vanishes
from King's name in newsprint, it's hard to believe that the profound spiritual tone of the entire evening could have escaped the notice of the reporter.
The message was not just that all should be non-conformists and take a stand for his or her beliefs, but that they should be personally transformed and stand up for what is right. That is what Kimbrough said, and that is what King did.

Libraries maintain a treasury of untapped resources
BY RACHAEL HUFFMAN
KANSAN COLUMNIST
OPINION@KANSAN.COM
I wouldn't date a man, who didn't enjoy reading, and I feel sorry for people who see reading as a chore and not a pleasure. After all, anything you really need to know can be found on the Internet, right?
Not right. You can't find the feeling of curling up, stepping outside time, and turning the worn pages of a well-loved book. A good book won't only keep you company, but will transport you to a whole new world.
When I was little, my mother would take us to the library every week. It was a magical and wondrous place to my childhood self. It housed a multitude of adventures that would become, at times, some of my closest friends. Of all the gifts that my parents have given to me, my love of reading is the one I treasure the most. Reading still remains one of my favorite escapes.
The campus libraries offer this pleasure at a price that even a college student can afford. free. As KU students, we have access to roughly 3.6 million volumes. The library grows by more than a mile of bookshelves each year. Students complaining about the rising cost of books should first look in the library, where they can check out things at no cost.
Beyond the seven libraries on campus, KU takes part in an interlibrary loan system. By filling out a simple online form, you can borrow books, movies and music from other large schools. If you still haven't found what you're looking for, you can request that the library order the book. Most of the books for classes can be found through one of these three options.
The library is much more than just a quiet place to study or a really hot place to have sex; it's an amazing resource that you should take advantage of before you graduate. Not sure what you're looking for? Campus libraries employ a veritable army of people — including me
— to help you figure out what the right resources are for you and to make sure you get access to them. These people work hard to keep the library functioning properly and things in order. Of all the things I am going to miss about being in college, having access to the campus library system is one of the big ones.
Use it while you can.

Time Inc. sells titles as shares drop
BY SETH SUTEL ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Magazine publisher Time Inc. said Thursday it is selling 18 of its smaller titles including Popular Science, Field & Stream and Parenting to Swedish publisher
Bonnier Magazine Group.
The sale marked the latest effort by the magazine company to restructure its business and adapt as readers and advertisers increasingly look to the Internet.
Up for sale last fall, the price was between $220 million and $230 million, according to two people fami-
iar with the transaction who spoke on condition of anonymity because the financial terms have not been officially disclosed.
The combined company would become a major U.S. magazine publisher with annual revenue of more than $350 million.
Time Inc. has been struggling
amid the changes, reporting a 5.9 percent decline in profits for the nine-month period ending last September. Last period, revenues slipped 0.6 percent.
The family-owned Bonnier Group has been a dominant presence in Swedish media for decades.

NATION Reputed Klansman stands trial for 1964 slayings
JACKSON, Miss. — A reputed Ku Klux Klansman accused in the 1964 slayings of two black men pleaded not guilty Thursday, and in a measure of how things have changed across the South, the judge was a black woman. 71-year-old James Ford Seale was arrested Wednesday on federal charges of kidnapping and conspiracy. Prosecutors said Charles Eddie Moore and Henry Hezekiah Dee, both 19, were seized and beaten by Klansmen, then thrown into the Mississippi River to drown.
A second white man long suspected in the attack, reputed KKK member Charles Marcus Edwards, 72, has not been charged.
Seale and Edwards were arrested in the case in 1964. But the FBI — consumed by the search for three civil rights workers who had disappeared that same summer
turned the case over to local authorities, who promptly threw out all charges. The U.S. Justice Department reopened the case in 2000.
On Thursday, U.S. Magistrate Linda R. Anderson told Seale if convicted, the charges would carry up to life in prison.
Seale was jailed for a bail hearing on Monday. His trial is scheduled for April 2.

Buffaloes' troubles only stand to worsen
PETER SCHMIDT
BY DREW DAVISON
KANSAN COLUMNIST
DDAVISON@KANSAN.COM
Congratulations, Colorado! You have sunk below Baylor as the worst basketball program in the Big 12 Conference this season — and possibly ever.
Ricardo Patton, Colorado coach, virtually quit in October when he said he would not seek or accept a contract extension.
But what did Colorado Athletics Director Mike Bohn, a Kansas alumnus, do? Let Patton ride out what may become the worst season in Colorado basketball history.
Patton has been the Buffaloes coach for 11 years, the longest tenure of any current Big 12 coach. He had immediate success, taking the Buffs to the NCAA tournament in his first full season at the helm, 1996-1997, with the help of All-American guard Chauncey Billups.
He has taken Colorado to one other NCAA tournament and four NIT's. Yes, that sounds awful to Kansas fans, but Colorado fans should love it. Before the 1996 season, it hadn't been to an NCAA tournament since Lyndon B. Johnson was president (1969).
Nonetheless, Colorado should have fired Patton when he announced he was not going to come back next season. The team is in disarray. It lost by 14 to Missouri on Wednesday and has just one conference victory this season. Last year, the Buffaloes went a respectable 20-11, but right now they're 5-11.
Colorado's problems started in 2003 when the football recruiting scandal broke, and the entire department has yet to get back on two feet.
Basically, three years ago, the Colorado athletics department was a sinking ship going down faster than Richard Roby's NBA draft stock is now.
But Bohn, who took the AD job in 2005, has shown signs of getting the entire department back on track.
Although the football team went an abysmal 2-10 last season, Dan Hawkins has shown he can build competitive football programs. Boise State, where Hawkins was previously head coach, beat Oklahoma in this year's Festa Bowl.
But, it will take Colorado some time to rebuild its athletics department and climb out of the cellar.
The basketball team exemplifies how low a program can fall. When Patton said he was not going to coach past this season, you knew this team would be a joke. Nothing against Patton, he will land on his feet somewhere and have another coaching job next season, but the motivation level is non-existent.
Colorado has been walked over by most opponents, including Air Force (38-point spread), Texas (24-point spread), Oklahoma (24-point

Freshman forward Darrrell Arthur goes in to the Jayhawks matchup with Colorado coming off an eight-point performance against Baylor on Jan. 24. Kansas takes on the Buffaloes at 12:30 p.m. Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse.
Jayhawks look to keep focus against Big 12's worst team
BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS
On first glance, Saturday's game between Kansas and Colorado looks like a mismatch. That's because it is.
The Buffalooes enter as the Big 12's worst team, and the Jayhawks are in a four-way tie for first place in the conference.
But coach Bill Self won't be leaving anything to chance. He knows that on any night in the Big 12, upsets can happen.
"Our league is really good," he said. "It's by far the best it has been since I got here."
The Jawahaws are coming off an 82-56 thumping of Baylor on Wednesday. The team finished its Texas trip 1-1, and the team is ready to play a game at home again. The last game in Lawrence was on Jan. 15, before school was in session.
"It will feel good to have the fans there," sophomore forward Julian Wright said.
For the players, it will also be an opportunity to escape from the rough treatment they faced from the fans in Texas.
First a record student turn-out stormed the court after the Jayhawks lost to Tech, and then a group of hecklers made themselves heard in a quiet and empty arena at Baylor.
"I heard some things," sophomore guard Brandon Rush said. "You're going to lose in the first round, that's the one I was mainly hearing."
Even those fans eventually lost interest as the layhawks took a 28-point lead toward the end of the game. Rush said he began to drift off defensively, but after Self velled
at him for missing an assignment, he was able to get back into the game.
One challenge this year for the jayhawks has been protecting the lead after getting off to a fast start. Against Texas Tech the team came out blazing, taking an 8-0 lead before going flat and falling behind.
"We've got to learn to play with a lead and stay focused," Wright said. "Keep the other team from making a big run."
Wright and his teammates were able to do that on Wednesday, aided by a poor shooting performance by Baylor. The game was also an offensive renaissance for Wright, who had been struggling with his shot selection.
"I focused on making the easy play and getting the opponents to feed off of that," he said. "When you shoot the ball the way we did, it gives everybody confidence."
They have the opportunity to do that again against Colorado, which has been allowing its opponents to shoot 47 percent in conference play.
Kansas will also look to make use of the home-court advantage, which could come into play if the game gets close. That may not sound likely, but freshman forward Darrell Arthur has already learned about the dangers of conference play.
"In the Big 12, everybody's going to be coming at us real strong," he said.

KANSAS VS. NEBRASKA, 7 P.M. SATURDAY
Kansas needs wins Smith, Mosley contribute to defensive effort
BY CASE KEEFER
Kansas is improving.
After being dominated at home by Iowa State on Saturday, the javahaws bounced back and nearly pulled off an improbable win in Manhattan on Wednesday.
The team will have to continue the upward climb for a chance to get its first conference win in Lincoln, Neb., against the Cornhuskers on Saturday.
All the areas the Jayhawks struggled with against the Cyclones, they fixed in a 59-55 loss to the Wildcats. Despite that, Kansas now stands at 0-6 in Big 12 Conference play.
"As hard as we're fighting and working right now, there's no way we'll keep getting losses"; freshman guard Kelly Kohn said. "We're going to get a win."
Farlier in the month the Jayhawks played competitively against the Cornhuskers in Lawrence before eventually falling 63-54. For the most part, coach Bonnie Henrickson liked
what she saw out of her team in the loss.
"We did some things that gave us a chance to win," she said, "so we'll probably just tweak the game plan we had."
Kansas did against Nebraska was limit point guard Kiera Hardy's prowess. Hardy is averaging 18 points a game in Big 12 play, but against the Jayhawks, she had only 11 points on 4-for-11 shooting.
The most impressive thing
It was the dual play of senior guards Sharita Smith and Shaquina Mosley that stopped Hardy. Smith has always been primarily a defensive player but Mosley has stepped up her efforts recently. In each of the lahwawks last two games, Mosley has successfully defended the opponents' leading scoreer.

"Shaq's got a chance to become

Mosley has also been Kansas' best scorer recently. In the last three games, she has averaged a team-high 16 points.
Kohn and freshman forward Danielle McCray should team up with Mosley to provide the majority of the offense Saturday. Both Kohn and McCray scored 13 points in a tough environment against
Kansas State. They will be expected to do the same at the Devaney Center.
"What's good about these kids is they played at big AAU and high school programs," Henrickson said, "so they don't fear anything."

Regional and national media's take on Kansas athletics
"The two athletic departments stand to make more money in the deal, but Lawrence and Columbia lose out. And so do fans, who will miss the great college atmosphere that accompanies this rivalry. It troubled me two years ago when KU Athletic Director Lew Perkins, in search of more almighty revenue, moved the Jayhawks' home game with Oklahoma to Arrowhead. The KU-Missouri move is even more difficult to understand. If Mangino is right, and the Tigers are KU's biggest rival, wouldn't you want to play this game on your turf, in front of your students?"
Wichita Eagle columnist Bob Lutz, Jan. 23
"it's unfair to suggest that either school jumped without a second thought at the golden ring dangled by the Chiefs. Sure, the $1 million payout per team for each of the two years was a difference-maker. But in fairness, both schools held off similar overtures for years until the offer became something they couldn't refuse. The addition of a 12th game on the college schedule changed the economic picture, KU athletic director Lew Perkins said."
—Topeka Capital Journal columnist Rick Dean, Jan. 23
There's a well-established hierarchy in college football, and it goes like this. Money's a strong first, followed by alumni (who have the money). Next are the athletes who are given money (scholarships) to sell tickets and bring in more money. That leaves students (who have very little money) at the bottom. The two-year move of the Missouri-Kansas football game to Kansas City might create several winners, but it will certainly leave about 60,000 losers — the students of both schools.
Columbia Missourian columnist Bryan Wendell, Jan. 23
"Officials from both schools insist the agreement is merely a trial balloon, and clearly at least one side isn't completely convinced it will work. Otherwise, the agreement would have been longer. Still, just in case, cherish the memories of the last time you looked from your seat with Missouri in town and saw blankets on the hill, the last time you walked through the parking lot, the scent of hot dogs warming your spirits, the Mizzoou-bashing banners everywhere. Oh well, here's the good news: Sources say the Nebraska game isn't in any danger of being moved to Omaha."

And when the 26-year-old rookie added yet another birdie, he even started taking away some of Woods' fans.
"I don't know if they know who I am or what was going on," Snedeker said. "But they were sure rooting me on like they were my best friend. It was great."
The only time Snedeker had ever been 9-under par through nine holes was sitting in front of a monitor playing a Tiger Woods video game. He knew that wasn't the case Thursday in the Buick Invitational because Woods was two groups ahead of him on the North Course at Torrey Pines, and well behind him on the scoreboard.
So was his opening round of the year.
Snedeker flirted with goat's magic number by reaching 10 under through 10 holes, before the birds dried up and a 59 fell out of reach. He settled for an 11-under 61 that tied the course record and gave him a two-shot edge over leader Charlie Wi.
"The whole front nine was a blur," said Snedeker, who couldn't recall how he birdied some of the holes, much less what those holes even looked like. But he generated the biggest buzz at the Buick Invitational, where Woods opened

with a 60 in his bid for a seventh straight PGA Tour victory and was reduced to a supporting role.
A former U.S. Amateur Public Links champion who turned pro after tying for 41st in the '04 Masters, Snedeker quickly became the star attraction on a spectacular day in San Diego.
Rookie shines at Buick Invitational
Starting his first round at No. 10, Snedeker went eight holes before making a par and was 9 under through nine holes, tying the PGA Tour record for nine holes on a par 36. That's when the thought of a 59 first came into view.
"I tried to tee my ball up on No. 1 and the ball fell out of my hand I was shaking so bad," he said. "That's when I knew I had a chance."
He piped a 3-wood out of the rough within 10 feet for eagle, but had to settle for birdie when the putt caught the left lip. Two holes later, his wedge on the par-3 third covered the flag and stopped 3 feet away as the gallery — growing by the shot — roared. Make it and he goes to 11 under through 12 holes, needing only two more birds to reach the magic number. But he tell short and closed his round with a 10-foot birdie on the par-5 ninth.

'Nothing like drama to spice up the sequins and spins'

KANSAN.COM
SPOKANE, Wash. — The rivalry is on, and round one goes to Evan Lysacek.
Lysacek edged Johnny Weir in the men's short program at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships on Thursday night. Lysacek finished with a personal-best 78.99 points after his first clean short program in about a year, putting him less than a point ahead of Weir. The three-time national champion scored 78.14 points.
"I got close," Weir said. "I'm going to keep fighting. To be in second place at the national championships, even though I've won three, its still
a great honor.  ... It ain't over until the fat lady sings."
The free skate is Saturday. The women's short program was later Thursday.
Rivalities are part of what makes figure skating so much fun. Nancy-Tonya and the "Whack Heard 'Round the World," the Battle of the Brians, dueling Carinnes — there's nothing like a little drama to spice up the sequins and spins.
"In general, we're friendly," said Weir, who text-messaged Lysacek to wish him a happy Orthodox Christmas. "At competitions, we have to hate each other a lot."
Lysacek and Weir have been more contemporaries than rivals the last few years. Lysacek had the advantage internationally, winning bronze medals at the last two world championships and finishing ahead of Weir in Turin. Weir has three U.S. titles, though, and those come with some serious bragging rights.
"it's good for U.S. skating." Weir said. "If Evan hadn't skated so well, I probably wouldn't have been pushed to the level I was pushed."
That was obviously a joke. But the competition is anything but.
the rivalry has been kicked up a notch this year. Lysacek had a strong Grand Prix season while Weir struggled, and he came into nationals as much of an underdog as a three-time champion can be.

His footwork was intricate, but what set it apart was the intensity with which he performed it. Every step had purpose, from the bottom of his toepicks to the tips of his fingers.
Skating to music from "The Last Temptation of Christ," Lysacek's face and body conveyed passion so well, even the fans in the rafters could feel it. He opened with a beautiful triple axel, carving the ice with a perfect edge on the landing.
Lysacek has struggled with his short programs the last year, so much so even his family started asking him about it. There were no problems Thursday.
His only flaw was a slight travel on one of his spins.
"I'm good at the short program and always have been. ... It's hard when you get an idea in your head, and it's hard not to get that idea in your head when you're hearing it and reading it." Lysseck said. "It's like, I'm trying people. I'm doing my best."
"When I'm really well trained, really well-prepared and really want to win something, nothing can stop me." Lysace said. "I was so happy and relieved, I can't put it into words."
"It was just this weight lifted off of my shoulders."
And it put the pressure firmly on Weir.
That's the other great thing about rivalries: You never know what the next competition is going to bring.
Though Lysacek is in first place, the difference between the two is nothing. A more creative element here, a tighter spin there and the results in the free skate could easily flip. Ryan Bradley is in third place.
"I tell him to keep his eye on the skating, not the title. I think that's a death knell," said Frank Carroll, Lysacek's coach, "You can't get caught up in that, or it's not going to work."

Texas victory crucial
BY RUSTIN DODD
The Kansas Women's tennis team has an added incentive entering its Big 12 Conference opener against Texas.
In addition to a crucial conference victory, the team will also be fighting for its first series victory against the Longhorns.
That's right, in 18 dual matches against Texas, Kansas has come away without a single series victory.
The stakes might be higher in this early season showdown, but expect Kansas to respond as they would in any Big 12 Conference match.
"Any conference match, the players know the importance," coach Amy Hall-Holt said. "They know they have to step up."
Kansas is coming off a 1-2 opening weekend, but Hall-Holt thinks the jayhawks might have a few advantages against the 20th ranked Longhorns.
"This is their first week playing," Hall-Holt said. "We have three matches under our belt. We have been playing and practicing inside, and they have been playing outside."
The indoor conditions at the First Serve Tennis Center, 5200 Clinton
Parkway, might give Texas problems, but the Longhorns still pose quite a challenge for the Layhawks. Texas defeated Kansas 6-1 last season with Kansas' lone victory coming from 2006 alumna Christine Skoda. "Texas has plenty of returning firepower, and has added a few

young guns to the mix, Petra Dizdar,
a three-time All-Big 12 selection,
returns to the fold, and freshman
Sarah Lancaster is currently ranked
70th in the ITA singles rankings.
Coach Hall-Holt, however, is more focused on her own freshman. "They have new freshmen that we do not have any info on, but we have Kumi Dorn."
Dorn, freshman, has proved to be an asset to Hall-Holt's squad after compiling an 8-7 record in the fall and starting off the spring season with a 2-1 mark. Kansas will look to Dorn and Elizaveta Avdeeva to score points during the singles portion of play, and hope that Avdeeva and doubles partner, Edina Horvath, can continue their 3-0 winning streak.
The dual will begin at noon this Saturday at the First Serve Tennis Center.
Kansas will also hope that Ksenia Bukina and Stephanie Smith can rebound from injuries. Bukina missed two matches last weekend and Smith has yet to be cleared to play.

The contest marks both the final home and Big 12 Conference duel of the season for the 5-1 Jayhawks. Iowa State comes to Lawrence with three straight losses.
The KU women's swimming and diving team face Iowa State this weekend in their last Big 12 competition of the season.
Sitting at 1-1 in conference meets, this weekend's contest presents Kansas with an opportunity to break .500 before the Big 12 Championships on Feb. 14 through 17.
Today's events begin at 6 p.m. and will be preceded by a ceremony honoring the team's seven seniors. Co-captain Jenny Short, senior, played an instrumental role in the team's last competition, sweeping both backstroke events as well as helping the 200 yard medley relay and 400 yard freestyle relay teams to first place finishes.
The recognition ceremony is scheduled to take place approximately 15 minutes before the first event kicks off. The second day of action begins at 10 a.m. on Saturday.
Because of the limited availability of parking expected because of the men's basketball game, those attending Saturday's portion of the meet can park in lot 34 located on the corner of Illinois Street and Sunnyside Avenue. Both parts of the meet are free to the public.

Wilkes returns to lineup, earns style points
BY BRIAN BAINUM DAILY CALIFORNIAN
BERKELEY, Calif. — If his recent play is any indication, Omar Wilkes is now completely healthy, which is good news for a Cal men's basketball team that has had its share of injuries in the 2006-07 season.
Wilkes scored 17 points on 7-of-9 shooting in 30 minutes in the
Bears' 92.84 loss Saturday at Oregon Wilkes connected on 3-of-4 3-pointers and was one of the reasons Cal was able to keep it close with the now-No.7 Ducks.
"He really had a good game," Bears coach Ben Braun said. "His play has been a factor for us."
Wilkes missed the Stanford game Jan. 3 with an injured tbone. He did not start against Washington
"We established the tempo well in the first half," Braun said. "We went away from that in the second half. When the shots are going down for you, you think it's always going to be that way."
State, but has since returned as a starter for Cal's last three games.
Braun was pleased with the style of play the Bears displayed Saturday against Oregon.

KANSAS VS. NEBRASKA 7 P.M., SATURDAY, BOB DEVANEY CENTER
**Momentum** — Kansas played its best game of the conference season in a hard-fought loss at Kansas State on Jan. 24. The Jayhawks out-rebounded and out-hustled the Wildcats, nearly pulling off an unlikely upset. The fact that Kansas keeps fighting hard for a win game after game reflects well on the senior leadership of Mosley and Sharita Smith. The Jayhawks' optimistic demeanor suggests that a win may be on the horizon. Nebraska is coming off of a deflating one-point loss at Texas A&M, and could overlook this weekend's match-up, which comes just four days before an important game against Iowa State. Nebraska may be the more talented team, but Kansas has shown it has the heart to keep games close.

Offense — Nebraska has posted a 16-4 record and inched its way into the Top 25 on the shoulders of its impressive offense. The Cornhuskers are led by one of the most prolific tandems in the Big 12 Conference. Senior guard Kiera Hardy provides flashy ball handling and an accurate outside shot, while sophomore forward Kelsey Griffin fills the role of low post scorer. Nebraska has been consistent all season long, scoring 60 points or more in every game. The Jayhawks have struggled in almost every way imaginable on offense this season. Kansas ranks near or at the bottom of the conference in nearly every statistical category and is recovering from a free throw debacle at Kansas State in which it shot 7-for-18 from the line.
"If you aren't going to use the tickets, let somebody else use them," Huggins said during a conference call Thursday. "That's what I was trying to say, and I don't regret that."

Defense — Kansas' feisty defense has been the team's strength all season long. The young Jayhawks are not one of the best defensive teams in the conference, but they have improved steadily in recent weeks. The emergence of senior guard Shaquina Mosley could be the reason. Since taking over the role of starting point guard, Mosley has become the catalyst for a defense that forces turnovers and applies stiffing pressure on the perimeter. Nebraska is not a poor defensive basketball team, but they struggle to create turnovers. Although both stand tall at 6-foot-2, forwards Griffin and Chelsea Aubry have combined to block only 10 shots this season. Junior forward Danielle Page has provided the Huskers strong post defense, blocking 26 shots. However, Page's productivity has been curtailed by her tendency to frequently commit fouls. The forward is logging only 16 minutes per contest and has fouled out twice this season.

Disturbing dismissals
Boston College looks to fill shoes of former key players
BY JOHN TADDEI ASSOCIATED PRESS
DURHAM, N.C. — After a 5-0 start in ACC play, Boston College sat atop the conference standings
with whispers of serious ACC title contention beginning to amplify.
Those whispers were all but silenced Wednesday when the Eagles dismissed center
Williams
SCOTT M. HUGHES
Sean Williams and forward Akida McLain from the team.
Both players had a history of off the court issues and each had been suspended twice previously during their careers for violating team rules.
An early front-runner for the National Defensive Player of the
year, the 6 book

In 15 games this season, Williams tallied an ACC-best 75 blocks while averaging 12.1 points and 7.0 rebounds per
Tournament hopes, head coach Al Skinner remains confident that Boston College can adjust to the loss of Williams and the 6-foot-8 McLain.
The gaping hole left in the Eagles' lineup became immediately apparent, as they limped to a 74-54 loss to No.19 Clemson on Saturday.
"The most important thing is that some people that didn't play, we have to get them into the position quickly to play and have a bigger role." Skinner said. "It's not something that happens

Freshman forward Porscha Weddington pulled down a career-high 12 rebounds, which led Kansas to out-rebound Kansas State 54-21. Out of those 54, 19 of them were offensive boards. Henrickson thinks one of the keys to winning will be converting those offensive rebounds into points.

Kansas, on the other hand, is coming off a win at Baylor on Wednesday. Julian Wright played out of his mindtypebasketballlike most Jayhawk fans were expecting the entire season. Brandon Rush actually attacked the rim and led Kansas in scoring. If the Jayhawks are on like they were Wednesday, Saturday's game should be over by

Olympic skater seeks championship title
BY NANCY ARMOUR ASSOCIATED PRESS
SPOKANE, Wash. — One more night like this, and Kinnie Meissner should have a national title to go with her world championship.
Meissner skated a short program Thursday night that was enough to give her the early lead in the U.S. Figure Skating Championships. There were still 11 skaters to go, but her main competition of Emily Hughes had already skated.
"I heard the crowd's reaction, so I knew (Emily) skated good. More
competition," said Meissner.
Meissner's score of 65.69 points gave her a comfortable lead over Hughes.
Most skaters win a national title before a world championship. But not Meissner. In one of the biggest surprises ever at the world championships, Meissner beat Fumie Suguri and Sasha Cohen.
"The national title would be great," Meissner said. "In the United States, that's the big thing. I've always been going for that. I'd be happy with that. Now the short's over with, one more step."
Juniors outnumber seniors 3-to-1

Younger players become leaders after losing many to graduation, MLB draft
BY ALISSA BAUER
As irony would have it, the layhawks that returned eight seniors to its roster last season bring back half that amount in 2007. While Kansas was overloaded with seniors last spring, the team's senior leadership took a sizable cut this year.
Now just six days away from opening their season in Hawaii, the Jayhawk juniors and seniors are swapping roles. Where the most playing experience generally falls on the side of the senior, in 2007, junior is the new senior.
“你 almost forced into being comfortable with it,” junior shortstop Erik Morrison said of the junior leadership role. “Because if you uncomfortable with it, things aren't going to go smoothly, so 1 kind of take it as my turn to do whatever I can for this team.”
The 13 juniors on Kansas roster more than triple the four layhawks back for their senior season. The caliber of senior talent on last year's

native is the only Jayhawk senior to have spent his entire collegiate career at Kansas.
Parzyk and sophomore catcher Buck Afnir split playing time for the first part of the season. In the latter half, coach Ritch Price stuck with Afnir, who had found a groove at the plate. Parzyk saw the most starts with 27 games behind the plate. He had 81 at bats.
Kelling started one game and finished 2006 with 12 official at bats, racking up a .417 batting average.
Even when combining all three of the 2007 senior position players' playing time, they totalled just 191 at bats and started no more than half of the jayhawks' 68 games. Three of the four starting juniors, which include Simpson, Morrison and Allman, individually collected more than the seniors' combined number of at bats.
A Kansas baseball player holds off on an incoming pitch. As the layhawks prepare for their season opener less than a week away, much of the guidance has come from the 13-strong junior class.

great," junior outfielder John Allman said. "We've been playing together for the past three years now and we really mesh well. We have a good team — a lot of guys with a lot of talent. Those seniors are going to have to step up and
fill roles, too. We're going to have to count on everyone this year since we lost so many guys."
Allman, Morrison and junior second baseman Ryne Price lead the group of what coach Price calls impact players. These players are expected to take the reigns of this
Hitting over .350 with runners in scoring position last year, Allman's 52 RBI tied Morrison for the most of any returning starter.
"We've gelled together real well. It's a real close knit team," Morrison said. "I think with keeping everybody close with the older guys allows the younger guys to feel more confident to where they can almost step up and start their season as a sophomore already. They've already worked their freshman kinks out."
Although Ryne Price started 28 games last season because of a wrist injury, the junior still managed nine home runs and a spot on the Big 12 Championship All-Tournament team.
Junior outfielder Brock Simpson used a season of unpredictable starts to ready himself for leadership.
Simpson saw time in 61 games and started 47 times. He answered
when called upon and finished last season hitting 293 and led his team in triples (6).
But Casey Larson, a junior college transfer, along with the rest of the enormous junior class, doesn't worry about who will lead the team. Although the juniors outnumber all the classes, and the seniors more than three-to-one, every Jayhawk knows that true team leadership can come from anywhere.
"I think everyone's pretty much a leader on this team, no matter what year they are." Larson said. "A lot of the guys see what the older guys do and try to follow their ways. To me that's leadership: paving a road for other people to follow."

NCAA FOOTBALL
BY BRETT TINDER
DAILY TARGUM
NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. — Rutgers faithful aren't the only ones sky high after the football team's recent success.
Nine assistant football coaches are receiving hefty raises, many of which are double-digit percentage increases.
The pay raises come as the University is forced to cancel 450 course selections and layoff 825 employees as they crumbles to cover an $80 million shortfall in funding.
The full-time assistant coaches, many of whom already earn six-figure salaries, are receiving the raises as the team comes off of its historic 11-2 season and first-ever bowl game win.
Recruiting coordinator and tight ends coach Joseph Susan saw an increase of 15 percent to $144,000.
Offensive coordinator Craig Very Steege got a raise of $13,400, bringing his pay to $185,000. Assistant offensive coordinator John McNulty got a pay hike of nearly $30,000.
Each coach was also awarded one month's pay and another $7,200 car stipend.
According to Rutgers athletics department policy, employees' salary adjustments are based on performance. Senior Associate Athletic Director for Communications John Wooding said.
"We are being competitive in the market place we are in," Wooding said.
Not all Rutgers sports teams are so lucky.
Even with the team's recent success, the program has a way to go before it can break even. It generally takes consistent winning seasons for a program to turn a profit, but Athletic Director Robert E. Mulcahy III hopes with increased ticket revenues the team can be self-sustaining as early as next year. Season-ticket sales for football have already doubled.
In addition to the academic
and administrative cutbacks, the University cut six Olympic sports teams, a move that will save an estimated $800,000.
Glemm Pantel, a member of Save Our Sports, says his organization has always been supportive of the football team, but wants to see funding more evenly distributed.
"The student-athletes on the eliminated teams are, by virtue of their stellar athletic and academic records, similarly deserving of such respect from the athletic department and the University's Board of Governors."
The University increased the football team's budget to $13 million and has no plans to reinstate the six sports that will be phased down to the club level by the end of this academic year.
Mulcahy said the pay raises and the six cut sports are unrelated.
"The decision to transition six sports into club status stands," he said.
Advocates of saving the sports, though, continue their efforts.
In late November, SOS members offered to donate $400,000 to cover the program's costs for the upcoming season, but were turned down by the athletic department and BOG. The coalition has since raised more than $655,000.
The group also garnered the support of BOG member George R. Zoffinger, who issued a statement in December urging the University to reinstate the sports.
Assemblyman Patrick Diegnan, D-South Plainfield, who serves as chairman of the Assembly Committee Higher Education, drafted a nonbinding resolution late last year that expressed the same sentiment. The committee passed the resolution.
Wooding declined to say whether the athletic department is still in contact with the group.
University officials said the football team's budget had to be increased this year to compensate for rising costs of utilities and travel.

KU TIP-OFF
WHAT'S AT STAKE
The Jayhawks would remain in the four-way tie for first place in the Big 12 with a victory. With Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, and Kansas all knotted up, every victory will be key to finishing high in the conference - and securing a high tournament seed.
STAR WATCH
Sophomore forward Julian Wright busted out of a short slump with a dominating performance against Baylor. Wright
Wright
said he made an effort to contribute in all areas of the game, instead of just scoring points. If he has another game like
Wednesday's, he will reclaim his spot as one of the team's best players.
QUESTION MARK
CAN KANSAS BE PATIENT AGAINST AN OPPONENT LIKE COLORADO?
While not a great team, Baylor had good enough players that a comeback was not impossible. If the Jayhawks can take a big lead in the first few minutes Saturday, will they be able to keep their focus and put away the Buffaloes?
3 REASONS KU WINS
ONE — Somebody will step up. There are enough good players on the team that even if a few Jayhawks have a bad game, somebody else will have the hot hand and knock down shots.
TWO — Colorado is not very good. Even Missouri was able to beat this team by double-digits. If the Buffaloes pulled out an upset, it would be the Jayhawks' worst loss of the season. The Buffaloes only win was against Iowa State, who isn't as good as everyone initially though.
**THREE** — Home court advantage. Students haven't been able to see a game since school resumed last Friday. They'll likely show up in droves for a Saturday afternoon game.
COUNTDOWN TO TIP-OFF GAME DAY
HURTIN'HERD Jayhawk's take on Big 12's worst team KANSASVS. COLORADO 12:30 p.m.Saturday, Allen Fieldhouse, Channel 15
Kansas 17-3,4-1 Big 12
Offense
In the first half against Baylor, Kansas returned to its bread-and-butter of getting the ball inside the paint. But coach Bill Self pointed out after the game that while the offense was better, there is still room for improvement. In the first half, Kansas shot 64 percent from the field, and in the second half Baylor outshot the Jayhawks 42.4 percent to 39.4 percent. Also, knowing when to press for a basket and when to slow down and run a play is a tough skill – and one the Kansas guards are still perfecting.
KU KU KU
Defense
This might be the best defense in America. Granted, it helps when the opponent goes 1-for-17 to open the game, as Baylor did on Wednesday, but the Jayhawks contributed to that with airtight defense and good communication among teammates. There's no reason to think that they won't hold the Buffaloes to a low point total.
KU KU KU KU
Colorado 5-11, 1-5
Offense
It is highly unlikely that Colorado's anemic offense will muster more than 65 points against Kansas' defense, which is one of the Big 12's best. Junior guard Richard Roby, who thought about entering the NBA Draft last June, leads the Buffaloes in scoring, but his numbers have gone down significantly since last season. Roby's downward spiral has shot Colorado to the bottom of nearly offensive category in the Big 12. The only good news is that freshman Xavier Silas has led the team in scoring the past three games, showing that someone else on the team is capable of making a basket.
P
It's hard to tell which is worse for Colorado: its offense or its defense. Give the nod to the D. Any opponent that plays against the Buffaloes is likely to have its best offensive game of the season, because on average, Colorado allows 78.8 points per game in the Big 12. Only two Big 12 teams average more points per game than that, so it is extremely hard not to have a field day against the Buffaloes' defense. A lack of big men contributes to Colorado's defensive problems. Only one player taller than 6'9" averages more than 10 minutes per game.

Momentum
Everything went well for the Jayhawks on Wednesday, and now they get to play at home for the first time in almost two weeks. Having their own fan support instead of rowdy Texas Tech fans, or booing Baylor fans, Kansas should prevail against cellar-dweller Colorado. The team also appears to be fully healthy:
Sasha Kaun’s pre-season injury is behind him, and Darnell Jackson said he is able to play despite nursing a bruised back.
Momentum
Coach Ricardo Patton resigned before the season started but stayed around to coach one more season. Everyone knew this team would have a down year with eight freshman on the roster, but Patton's resignation basically guaranteed that this could be the worst season in team history. As bad as Colorado is, it has still managed to win one conference game against Iowa State. While that doesn't give the Buffaloes any chance to compete for the Big 12 title, it at least means they know how to win. Winning at Kansas will be tough, almost impossible, but last week's victory against the Cyclone has given the Buffaloees shred of confidence.

CU
TIP-OFF
WHAT'S AT STAKE?
Pride. The Buffaloes have nothing to play for, and realistically, they haven't had anything to play for the entire season. At no point this year did Colorado have any chance for postseason play or even a winning record. The players can only play hard during Saturday's game and hope for the best.

Silas
Nebraska and Missouri, Silas,
a guard, is already a good all-
around player. He's shooting

QUESTION MARK
CAN COLORADO WIN IN ALLEN FIELDHOUSE?
The last time the Buffalofoes beat the Jayhawks in Lawrence was in 1983. That year, Larry Brown's boys lost to Tom Apke's team 75-74. Kansas has only lost to its neighboring state five times in Allen Fieldhouse history.
3 REASONS CU WINS
ONE — A scoring explosion. Richard Roby has scored 30 or more points twice this season. For Colorado to have a chance, Roby will need to score a minimum of 25 points.
TWO — Karma. The ball is bound to bounce Colorado's way sometime this year. After having everything go wrong from Ricardo Patton's resignation to snowed out games, perhaps something will finally go right for the Buffaloes.
**THREE** — Tae Kwon Do. TV commentators used to harp about how Patton practiced martial arts in his spare time and how it made his Colorado teams tougher. To win this game, the Buffaloes will need anything to give them a lift, even Tae Kwan Do.

If these two guard each other during the game, it will be a match-up of two steady, experienced players. Coleman is the only senior for the Buffaloes who gets a decent amount of playing time and helps his team in other ways than scoring. He hands out the most assists and grabs the second-most rebounds of anyone on his team. Robinson has struggled at times this season, but he is still Kansas' most experienced ball-handler. Against Baylor, he had four assists and only one turnover.

Construction of a 12th scholarship hall will begin this spring after a $4 million donation.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway announced the plans at a ceremony Saturday.
of his parents, Floyd and Kathryn Krebiel. The scholarship hall will be named after Krebiel's mother and father in honor of their own contributions to the University of Kansas.
Carl Krehbiel, 1970 graduate donated the money to fund the construction of the new hall in honor
"We value the University very much," Krebbiel said. "It prepared me very well for the things I did subsequently, and I welcome the opportunity to give back to KU."
Krehbiel said he also plans to build a trust fund for the hall to avoid deferred maintenance issues.
Krehbiel's family has a long-standing connection to the University and the residence halls. His father, the late Floyd Krehbiel, lived in Battenfeld Scholarship Hall, and his mother, Kathryn, lived in Corbin Hall. Carl lived in Stephenson Scholarship Hall while

The new scholarship hall will be built adjacent to Rieger Scholarship Hall on the north side. Construction plans are very similar to Rieger's design, with a few improvements.
such as temperature control in the restrooms.
"The most necessary thing in building this hall is educational support," said Cayla Witty, president of the All Scholarship Hall Council. "You have an extended family to help out."

Local grocery stores prepare for aftermath of California freeze

Oranges, lemons, lettuce and avocados will be in higher demand for the next few weeks after freezing temperatures Jan. 12 to 16 in California damaged a significant portion of the crops. About $1 billion in crops were damaged by the weather.
Local grocery stores, such as Hy Vee, receive most of their fresh citrus crops from California.
Mark Johnston, produce man
He said that prices of fresh lettuce are expected to rise, but that the fluctuation shouldn't be too drastic because Hy-Vee receives a portion of its lettuce from Arizona.
"Our company warehouse was able to stock up," Johnston said. "But the prices should go up in about a week."
ager at Hy-Vee, 3504 Clinton Parkway, said that the produce would still be in stock, just at higher prices.
manager at Hy-Vee, 4000 W. 6th St., said that while more than 80 percent of the California citrus crop was destroyed, buying orange juice shouldn't be a problem.
"A lot of the oranges, if they aren't on the tree real long, they can pull them off and use them for juice," Kirk said. "Plus most of the oranges for juice come out of Florida."
Doug Kirk, assistant produce
Johnston said the avocado supply wasn't suffering as badly because his store purchased those fruits in advance. A large amount of avocados are being used to prepare guacamole for upcoming Super Bowl parties.
The price for orange juice might actually go down as the demand for bulk navel oranges increases, he said.

Renowned playwright directs actors
>> THEATER
BY BETHANY BUNCH
A Californian playwright made his way to Lawrence last week to work with University of Kansas theater students who are staging his play, "Lilly Plants a Garden."
José Cruz González wrote the play in 2001, and it has been performed three times. This is the play's first production at a university.
"It's really cool to see different interpretations of your work," Gonzalez said. "It's been great to work with these students and

.
He isn't able to make it to every production of his play, but enjoys it when he can, Gonzalez said.
"The first night we were real nervous because we wanted to impress him," she said.
Gonzalez said he "totally sympathizes" and tried to make student actors comfortable to overcome anxiety.
Gonzalez took a more observant approach when working with the students. He stopped the act to make comments and suggestions, while director jeanne Klein worked hands-on with the actors.
"I have to literally put myself in their shoes," Klein said. "I can't direct from the chair."
After the initial nerves passed. Persinger said she and the cast enjoyed working with Gonzalez.

Persinger said.
"Lilly Plants a Garden" will debut at 1 p.m. Feb. 5 at the Inge Theatre in Murphy Hall.
Gonzalez is an associate professor of Theatre Arts and Dance at California State University at Los Angeles. He teaches theater, playwriting and directing. He has published more than 20 plays.

Comedian Jim Gaffigan brings "Beyond the Pale" tour to West Campus
BY BETHANY BUNCH
Gaffigan, known for his pale face and faint-voiced commentary on his own jokes, came to Lawrence as part
Comedian Jim Gaffigan walked onto the Lied Center stage Saturday night to an uproar of applause and walked off with a standing ovation from a sold-out crowd.
"I like to make people feel comfortable." Gaffigan said with sarcastic overtones "That's

why I talk about things like Jesus."
Lawrence was the fifth stop on the "Beyond the Pale" tour.
"This may have been my favorite show," Gaffigan said after the show. "I felt an energy and enthusiasm here. It was great."
After the show Gaffigan continued to work the crowd by signing autographs and taking pictures with fans. The line of fans waiting to talk to Gaffigan formed quickly after his Saturday performance, wrapping all the way around the theater. Near the middle of the line stood Brandi McClure, Topeka graduate student.
McClure watched the show from the third row. She said she and her friends planned on going right after they found out about it.
"The Hot Pockets joke was the best part," McClure said, referring to Gaffigan's popular joke about his disdain for Hot Pockets.
The "Beyond the Paley" tour makes stops all over the country and ends in late April. Gaffigan said he rode a bus from his Friday night show in Evansville, Ind., to Lawrence on Saturday.
"It was a hell of a long ride," Gatfigan said.
From Lawrence, Gaffigan traveled to Cedar Rapids, Iowa, for his next show. Gaffigan's publicist, Arlen Marmel, said the "Beyond the Pale" tour came as a byproduct of "Pale Force," the superhero crime fighting duo of Gaffian and Conan O'Brien.
The animated shorts were created by Gaffigan and are now running as webisodes on NBC.com.
Gaffigan can be seen doing stand-up on Comedy Central or on TBS' new series, "My Boys."

Spotlight on Organizations
KU Juggling Club
BY MEGAN HIRT
The juggling club got its start in 1992, but faded from existence when the founding members graduated. The organization reemerged in 2004, and now has about 10 regular jugglers who meet twice a week.
"jugling is much easier than you think," said juggling club president Tio Duiermeir, Lawrence junior. "So many people think they're uncoordinated, but as long as you can move your arms, you can do it."
Juggling is the art of manipulating objects using the body. Doeermeier said this ranged from the simultaneous throwing and catching of objects with the hands to using the shoulders, neck and chest. This variation is known as contact juggling, where
College students are experts in juggling classes, work and social lives. Members of the KU juggling Club tots things like axes and torches into that mix.
the object never leaves the body.
"It's not a performance; it's just us having fun." Duermeier said.
During winter break, four members of the juggling club attended the World Juggling Federation training camp in Las Vegas. Duermeirie said the jugglers performed outside Hobbs, 700 Massachusetts St., to help fund their trip to the camp, which brought together jugglers from across the country for four days of instructional workshops.
in April for the Little Apple Juggling Festival. Duermerie said the club hoped to create a juggling festival of its own in Lawrence.
"It would be a great way to get more people out," he said, adding that an annual festival would help to keep the club going after its current members were no longer at the University.
The group will head to Manhattan
The club received some unfortunate press last summer when a large portion of its juggling equipment was stolen during a juggling festival in Omaha, Neb. Although the theft was covered on local news programs, Duermeyer said the equipment was never found.
The juggling club continued on despite the setback. The group
is happy to do performances upon request and to pass along their skills
"We're glad to teach at any meetings," said Duermeier, who estimated that most people can learn to juggle in about 15 minutes.
The juggling club meets at 7 p.m. on Tuesdays and at 1 p.m. on Saturdays at Wescoe Beach or inside the Kansas Union on colder days. The clubs full schedule can be found online at www.kujuggling.org and questions can be sent to juggle@ku.edu.

"Conservation leads to us saving

Davis also said he thought the smoking ban intruded on the rights of smokers and business owners.
A 10-year Lawrence resident, Davis is working to finish his bachelor's degree in economics from the University of Kansas.

Wire route starts debate
>> STATE
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEWTON — Some landowners and government officials voiced concerns about Westar Energy's proposed route for a high-voltage transmission line.
While nearly 75 percent of the proposed route follows existing transmission lines, one of the exceptions is eight miles in Harvey County, where Brian Krehbiel owns 160 acres.
Krehbiel said he was stunned when he saw the proposed route.
"The only area I'd consider to be sensitive from an environmental standpoint from the whole grid is smack dab in the middle of where they want to put the line through." Krehbiel said.
Westar officials said they took the public's concerns into consideration when selecting the route and chose a route that would cause the least disruption.
Krebbiel's property includes a $200,000 home and eight ponds.
"A guy from Wichita developed it in the 40s and 50s as a wildlife area," Krehbiel said. "He built a lake for recreational fishing. I don't think the grass has ever been touched."
Other parts of the area are wetlands used by migratory birds. The water table is only 12 to 15 feet below the surface in some places, he said.
The land also includes tree shelterbelts. Krehbiel said he was worried that installing the line through the area would require bulldoizing thousands of trees. And he's concerned about potential health effects of having high voltage line 250 yards from his house.
The Harvey County Commission today will consider sending a letter to Westar and the Kansas Corporation Commission opposing the proposed route.
"Our discussion was we would prefer to see this line run to existing right-of-way instead of going through the middle of sand hills," said Councilman Ron Krehbiel, who is not related to Brian.

ENTERTAINMENT Immigrant director wins Sundance best film award
PARK CITY, Utah — Sundance Film Festival's grand-jury prize for best U.S. drama went to "Padre Nuestro," an immigrant saga about a Mexican teen's heartbreaking search for his father in America.
"Manda Bala (Send a Bullet)," another Latin American story recounting government corruption and kidnapping in Brazil, earned the grand-jury award Saturday in the U.S. documentary competition at the festival, the nation's top showcase for independent film.
"Grace Is Gone," a tear-jerker starring John Cusack as a father who takes his young daughters on a road trip to postpone breaking the news that their Army sergeant mother has been killed in Iraq, won
the audience award for favorite U.S. drama as chosen by balloting among Sundance movie-goers.
Writer-director James C. Strouse won the Waldo Salt screenwriting award for "Grace Is Gone."
The U.S. audience award for documentaries went to Irene Taylor Brodsky* "Hear and Now," a portrait of her aging, deaf parents as they undergo risky surgery that could allow them to hear.
Writer-director Christopher Zalla's debut film "Padre Nuestro" is the story of a Mexican youth (Jorge Adrian Espindola) who sneaks into the United States to find the father (Jesus Ochoa) he never met, only to have his identity usurped by a conniving fellow illegal immigrant (Armando Hernandez) he meets along the way.
"Padre Nuestro" followed last year's "Quinceanera" as the second straight Mexican-immigrant tale
to win top dramatic honors at Sundance.
Jason Kohns"Manda Bala" connects such discharge elements as a frog farm used as a front for money-laundering and a plastic surgeon who works on mutilated kidnap victims to capture the violence pervading life in Brazil.
The jury prize for world cinema was awarded to the Israeli film "Sweet Mud," director Dror Shaul's narrative of a boy coping with his mother's mental illness on a kibbutz in the 1970s.
The Danish film "Enemies of Happiness," Eva Mulvad and Anja Al Erhayem's study of an Afghan woman who bucks patriarchal tradition and runs in her country's 2005 parliamentary election, won the documentary jury prize for world cinema.

》 OUR VIEW
Students require textbook solutions
Of all of the hassles involved in beginning a new semester, buying books is the worst.
Many students simply find it challenging to afford the average cost of a semester's books, and, while some professors seem to understand the financial strain that book-buying places on students, others do not appear to be too concerned Obliging students often buy books that are under-used in class, unnecessarily new or freely available through online reserves.
Students with any sort of monetary concern loathe the book buying time of year.
There are ways that professors can help:
This is that dreaded time of year when students go to the bookstore with heavy hearts and credit cards or checkbooks in hand. It is not only costly, it is tedious. If some necessary books are unavailable, students must go to another bookstore. A few grueling hours in the purchase line and several hundred dollars later, the process is finished, unless, of course, students decide to switch classes.
Eliminate unnecessary books If a few paragraphs are all that is necessary from a book, it's not worthwhile for students. Place a copy in the library, but please don't make students buy
it.
If it's not necessary to buy a new edition, continue with the old.
If there are any way possible, get copyright permission for a book. Copied materials can be bundled in a package and sold for a flat fee or put online.
Shop around. If the difference between a $60 book and an $80 book is a nice map, students would rather buy the cheap book and Google a map.
Bargain and bid. KU Professor Craig Martin did this for his biology classes to ensure that his students obtained the best deal possible on their biology books. He is adored by biology students for his efforts.
If more professors used these tactics, they would significantly help students. Certain strategies might even help the professor by removing the middle man: the bookstore. As students know, no bookstore means less pay and less hassle.
Professors can teach efficiently without burdening students with unnecessary expenses. Consider this a plea to professors: We, the students with dwindling bank accounts and wallets, would greatly appreciate your help.

Roe v. Wade is rooted in legal precedent
In a recent Letter to the Editor, Stephen Johnson commented that Roe v. Wade was a bad law and that it "complicates medical ethics," but the truth is that Roe is a great piece of legislation because it is based upon volumes of legal precedent.
Using the Constitutional protections against slavery to invoke rights for an unborn child that is not viable outside of the womb is not a sound argument. This would be insinatu-
ing that the rights of something that exists symbiotically somehow take priority over those of its host.

Remove feminist stigma
BY LIZ STUEWE
---
BY LIZ STWELE
KANSAN COLUMNIST
OPINION@KANSAN.COM
Patriarchy is the belief in the superiority of men over women, and it is a problem both at the University of Kansas and in our country. Patriarchy is subtle and hard to pick out. In my physics class the other day my professor asked a question about gravity involving an astronaut and a pen. "What," he asked, "will happen if she drops the pen on the moon?" He followed it with an explanation about basic physics that I'm sure was important, but honestly I don't remember. It was a surprise — even for me — to hear the professor refer to the astronaut as a "she." Patriarchy has taught us that tough, dangerous jobs are the domain of men, not women.
There are a number of students on this campus who believe in gender equality but wouldn't call themself a feminist. Try it sometime; ask the person sitting next to you in class if he or she is a feminist. You will likely hear, "Hell no!", "Yes!" or the frustrating "No, but I believe women and men should be equals."
Why do men and women fear being labeled a feminist? It would be easy to put the blame for the demonization of feminism on conservatives such as Rush Limbaugh who brought the term "feminazi" into popular dialog. Limbaugh might have one of the biggest soap boxes around, but it is still the responsibility of true feminists to raise awareness, to properly articulate their message of equality and to proclaim that America still needs feminists in order to overcome patriarchy.
The first step to understanding feminism is to admit we live in a patriarchal society. Judith Lorber wrote in "The Social Construction of Gender," that talking about gender in our society is "the equivalent of fish talking about water." We are so entrenched in a society that places the accomplishments and needs of men above those of women that thinking about patriarchy is "like thinking about whether the sun will come up"
It is important for people to think about, discuss and explore gender roles in their everyday lives. If you spend the time to think about sexism and how it plays out in everyday life, you will begin to understand feminists. It is the job of feminists at the University to continue to spread knowledge and support all members of campus. Patriarchy damages the ability of women to participate fully in society. By recognizing and confronting gender issues in our daily lives we can work toward a truly egalitarian society. We can destroy patriarchy by proudly proclaiming to everyone that we are feminists.

WASHINGTON — In an action branded a backdoor draft by some critics, the military has held tens of thousand of soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines on the job and in war zones beyond their retirement dates or enlistment length.
It is a widely disliked practice that the Pentagon, under new Defense Secretary Robert Gates, is trying to figure out how to cut back on.
Gates has ordered that the practice, known as "stop loss," must "be minimized." At the same time, he is looking for ways to decrease the hardships troops and their families endure, recruit more people for a larger military and reassess how the

NATION Judge prevents workers from finishing projects
YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, Calif. — The plunging waterfalls and soaring crabs chiseled by the Merced River draw millions of visitors each year, but the crowds are precisely what threatens the waterway and the park.
In November, a federal judge barred crews from finishing $60 million in construction projects in Yosemite Valley, siding with a small group of environmentalists who sued the federal government, saying further commercial development would bring greater numbers of visitors, thus threatening the Merced's fragile ecosystem.

WORLD Attacks kills 250 militants, five children in Iraq
BAGHDAD — U.S.-backed Iraqi troops attacked insurgents on Sunday allegedly plotting to kill pilgrims at a major Shiite Muslim religious festival. Iraqi officials estimated some 250 militants died in the daylong battle near Najaf. A U.S. helicopter crashed during the fight, killing two American soldiers.
Mortar shells, meanwhile, hit the courtyard of a girls' school in a mostly Sunni Arab neighborhood of Baghdad, killing five pupils and

U. N. officials deplored the attack, calling the apparent targeting of children "an unforgivable crime."
Two car bombs exploded within a half hour in the northern city of Kirkuk, killing 11 people and wounding 34, police Brig. Gen. Sarhad Qader said. Three ethnic groups — Arabs, Kurds and Turkomen — are in a bitter struggle for control of that oil-rich area.
In addition to confirming the two Americans killed in the helicopter crash near Najaf, the U.S. command announced three combat deaths from Saturday, one Marine in the Sunni insurgent stronghold of Anbar province and two Army soldiers in the Baghdad area.
Authorities said Iraqi soldiers supported by U.S. aircraft fought all day with a large group of insurgents in the Zaraf area, about 12 miles northeast of the Shiite holy city of Najaf.

'Soft' and showy play to stay home as Kansas travels north to Nebraska
BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS
One thing needs to be cleared up about Julian Wright's monster embarrassment of a monster jam.
"You can't count that as a missed dunk because he didn't get the ball off the floor," coach Bill Self said.
The sophomore forward was attempting to do a full rotation with his
arm when he bobbled the ball and hit the floor.
"I wouldn't have the cahones to try the windmill in front of 16,000 people," sophomore guard Brandon Rush joked. "He tried to play it off by laying down on the ground like he was hurt."
Highlight shows have replayed the moment into oblivion, and Wright's pride has had a short time to heal, but the play may

"Our big, guys play soft," Selt said.
It may seem like nitpicking after a 97-74 beating of Colorado;
Junior Russell Robinson, sophomores Mario Chalmers and Brandon Rush and freshman Sherron Collins all finished with double-digit scoring, something none of the big men could boast.

Robinson regains confidence stops hesitating during games
Thinking is usually a good thing - except if you're Russell Robinson.
In basketball, there's a fine line between making the smart play and thinking too much. The latter had admittedly been Robinson's problem for most of the last month.
"Before, I was pushing it." Robinson said after tying his season high with 12 points in Saturday's victory against Colorado. "I was hunting a little bit. Now I'm just letting it come."
On Saturday, Robinson nailed
Just a few weeks ago, Robinson often appeared to hesitate, even before taking a wide open shot. That split-second thought, questioning whether to pass or shoot, would throw him off. Not surprisingly, he missed the shot.
The last few games have been a different story, though.

That's all Robinson's ever needed to do. He's never been asked to lead the team in scoring or to make the key basket in the clutch. All he's ever had to do is make smart decisions.
No stopping. No thinking.Just shooting.

Although freshmen have scored 60 percent of Kansas' points this season, it was the upperclassman that stepped up offensively Saturday. Junior guard Taylor McIntosh, who is known for her defensive prowess,
"Our response was disappointing. I think we hung our heads, got upset and didn't show much poise in the second half."
Kansas was prepared for a close game, and the main task would be shutting down Cornhusker forward Kelsey Griffin.
BONNIE HENRICKSON Kansas coach
That didn't happen. Griffin attacked the rim with ease and finished the game with a season high 24 points. She added 10 rebounds for her ninth double-double of the year. Senior guard Shaquina Mosley had the Jayhawks only double-double of
7 in the conference. Since taking charge of the Kansas program, Henrickson is only 1-13 against ranked opponents.

"Scoring isn't my first priority," McIntosh said. "We were moving the ball more and getting open shots."
For the third consecutive game, Mosley led the lawhavas
with 18 points. Mosley was relatively quiet in the second half after scoring 15 in the first.
"I think our seniors lost their poise, and they got to be the best kids I have on the road." Henrickson said. "I can't be worried about their emotions."
With just more than a minute remaining in the first half, Kansas caught some breaks and had a chance to take the lead.

Texas takes 19th straight from Kansas
BY RUSTIN DODD
When it comes to women's college tennis, don't mess with Texas. The Longhorns continued their dominance against the layhawks Saturday with a 6-1 victory and an all-time record of 19-0 against Kansas.
The No. 1 doubles duo of junior Elizaveta Avdeeva and sophomore Edina Horvath at 4.0 after defeating Sarah Lancaster and Courtney Zault 8-4. However, the momentum swung toward the Longhorns when the No. 3 doubles team of Ksenia Bukina and Yuliana Svistun fell 9-8 (3) in a tiebreaker.
"It's probably the best doubles that I've seen us play this year, and unfortunately, we couldn't carry that intensity level over to singles," said
Kansas coach Amy Hall-Holt $ _{4} $
No. 20 Texas took control during singles and used a deep lineup to take five of six matches in straight sets.
Avdeeva was the lone spark for Kansas in the singles matches. Avdeeva, competing at No.1, defeated All-Big 12 player Petra Dizdar 6-2, 7-5 (7), 6-3.

Hall-Holt expressed disappointment in the loss.
"We always build up high hopes for Texas," she said.
Kansas fell to 1-3 on the season, and Texas improved to 2-0.

Nebraska coach Connie Yori was whistled for a technical foul after arguing what she thought was a travel.
Freshman forward Danielle McCray made one of two from the foul line. With 36 seconds remaining, freshman forward Sade Morris hit a wide open three-pointer from the corner.
On the following Nebraska possession, the Jayhawks played their best defense of the night, which forced a shot-clock violation. This set up Mosley to make her second buzer-beating shot in three games to end the first half with the score tied at 39.
Kansas couldn't carry the
momentum into the second half.
The Cornhuskers got off to a blazing
14-4 run to begin the half and never
looked back.
"We said in the locker room that both teams were capable of making a run, but wed have to weather the storm." Henrickson said. "We didn't do that."

The Jayhawks were outscored 39-

Thrower weighs in at first DeHart Invitational prepares Jayhawks for track ahead
BY TAYLOR BERN
Egor Agafonov continued his dominance at the DeHart Invitational on Saturday, posting a season-best throw of 71-02.50 in the weight throw to win the event and automatically qualify for the NCAA Indoor Championships in March.
Agatonov's victory highlighted an impressive showing for the University of Kansas at the meet held in Albuquerque, N.M.
Agafonov, a junior and the defending Big 12 Conference champion in the weight throw, has won the event at every meet this season and now holds the record for the second best throw in the nation.
Other jayhawks also performed well and fought for qualifying results.
Three women met the NCAA provisional requirements on Saturday, two of them in the pole vault. A provisional requirement means an individual may or may not qualify for
the Indoor Championships depending on the results of other competitors from across the nation.
Junior Kate Sultanova and freshman Britany Parker each surpassed their season-best heights and improved upon their provisional
marks in the pole vault. Sultanova finished second overall, clearing a height of 13-08.25 and Parker came in third with a vault of 13-04.25. Sultanova finished first and
Agafanov
Parker finished second at last week's jayhawk Invitational.
Junior Crystal Manning also met the NCAA provisional mark in the triple jump with her leap of 42-03.50. Manning, who finished fourth in the triple jump at last year's Big 12 Indoor Championships, placed 12th at Saturday's meet.
Junior Colby Wissel took the gold
medal in the men's one mile run with a time of 4:18.42, while sophomore Ashley Brown narrowly missed the NCAA provisional mark for the second straight week, winning the 60-meter hurdles with a career-best 8.43 seconds.
Sophomore Zlata Tarasova placed fourth in the women's weight throw with a toss of 61-10.25 and sophomore Julius luis finished third in the 60-meter hurdles at 8.15.
The layhawk women finished in seventh place and the men took tenth despite leaving their middle distance runners back in Lawrence to prepare for this weekend's upcoming meet.
The lajhawks return to action Feb. 2 and 3, when they travel to Lincoln, Neb., for the Husker Invitational.

Second half snaps hopes
BY ASHER FUSCO
FECKERT 40 1
LINCOLN, Neb. — The Kansas women's basketball team matched the Nebraska Cornhuskers in nearly every facet of the game for the first 20 minutes Saturday night. Unfortunately for the lajahawks, the game didn't end at halftime.
Sarah Leonard/KANSAN
A game that was tied 39-39 at halftime slowly slipped from the Jayhawks' grasp, ending in a 78-58 Cornhouser victory.
Rebecba Feickert, freshman forward, goes up for a block against Nebraska for Danielle Page. Kansas, tied into half-time, failed to enter the second half and lost 58-78.
The first half contained arguably some of Kansas' strongest play so far this season. At times, Kansas looked like a team full of veterans, playing tight defense and running its offense efficiently.
When senior guard Shaquina Mosley beat the halftime buzzer with a long jump shot, the teams stood toe-to-heel in most statistical categories. Both teams shot 54 percent from the field and turned the ball over at the same rate.
In the opening half, the team performed in ways they had not previously been able to.
Junior forward Taylor McIntosh took advantage of frequent mismatches to post a career-high 16 points. With Nebraska focusing its efforts on freshman guard Kelly Kohn, McIntosh often found herself shooting over shorter defenders.
"Nebraska switched on a lot of screens so I was able to post up on a lot of guards." McIntosh said.
For as well as Nebraska played
Nebraska forwards Kelsey Griffin and Danielle Page were the two players the Jayhawks had trouble controlling. Griffin's ability to score her 24 points both off the dribble and on the offensive boards was too much for Kansas to handle. Page stretched the defense thin with her shooting touch and tired the Jayhawk defenders, putting up 17 points along the way.
When the teams took the floor at the beginning of the second half, the tone of the game changed almost immediately; the Cornhuskers consistently piled on points and added to their lead.
in Saturday's second half, Kansas failed to grant itself any favors. The Jayhawks fell back on old habits, making mental mistakes and playing tentatively on offense. Kansas was stuck in slow motion on defense, and messy play resulted in free throws and easy baskets for Nebraska.
Kansas' late struggles could be attributed to several factors. Foul trouble plagued McIntosh and freshman forward Porscha Weddington, which caused them to hold back on defense for fear of fouling out. Without injured sophomore center Marija Zinic, Kansas lacked depth and had few post options off the bench.
A lack of focus was also a problem. Kohn and Moseley were scarce.
seen for most of the second half,
combining to score just five points.
Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson did not fall back on excuses to explain her teams inconsistency.
"Give credit to Nebraska for making a run," Henrickson said. "We needed to weather the storm, and we did not do that."
The Jahawks remain winless in conference play this season, and unless the team learns to put together two consistent halves of basketball, a conference victory might continue to be unattainable.

SCHNEIDER (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
"He's worked on it and he's back to being where he was when he was confident." Self said. "I'm pleased with Russell in that regard."
When Robinson struggled with his shots and decision making earlier in the season, opponents often backed off him, choosing to focus on his backcourt mates Brandon Rush, Mario Chalmers and Sherron Collins. Those three were able to take on the double team just fine, but it shouldn't have to be that way. A Robinson who's making shots within the offense makes everyone around him better simply because they don't have to deal with an extra defender.
All four can take the ball to the rim, as well as take the shot from the outside. Forcing opponents, like Nebraska tonight, to come out and guard each one individually, instead of doubling Chalmers or Rush, is certainly to the Jayhawks'
advantage. Both Chalmers and Rush could easily take nearly every guard in conference off the dribble to the basket without much trouble.
"That's tough because you can't over-help on one particular person," Robinson said.
No one expects the point guard to lead the team in scoring, but the fact that Robinson can easily go for double-digits is a good sign, especially as the conference race heats up.
Down the road, if either Chalmers or Rush has an off night, it's good to know Robinson's regained the confidence he's needed to take — and make — a key shot.

BASKETBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
"We've just got to get our big men back in double figures." Chalmers said. "They've been carrying us the last few games."
Self said the inside players needed to start playing more aggressively.
"We've got too many finees guys out there right now," he said. "Getting a jump ball out of an inside possession is pitiful."
Rush said the team might have been soft at times, but the lack of rebounds was the result of Colorado's guards taking long shots that bounced back to them.
The defense will have a different look tonight. Nebraska runs a four-guard formation, leaving only one big man in the paint, center Aleks Maric. Kaun will likely guard him a majority of the time, leaving Wright and freshman forward Darrrell Arthur to run with the guards.
That could be a challenge for the
two, having just played on Saturday, but Self said that the team would be ready.
"It's not that bad to play Saturday Monday," he said. "The tournament games are Thursday-Saturday or Friday-Sunday."
He added that since he arrived at Kansas, the team has played in 13 Big Monday games, and only four of them have been at home.
"We're one of the top teams in the Big 12, so it's a big deal for the other teams," Chalmers said.
Rush knows the Jayhawks must be prepared for the Huskers' best shot tonight.
"There's the pressure that you've got to perform," he said. "One play can change a game."

The Jayhawks have held every opponent this season to under 50 percent shooting. Colorado finished at 44 percent. That's not bad, but the Buffalooes also didn't take many shots. They relied on guard Richard Roby to carry the team, and he scored 5 of the team's 11 first-half baskets. The Jayhawks had a lot more green around the perimeter than they usually do — they finished the game 11 for 17 from behind the three-point line. Shot chart information: compiled by Kansas Athletics.
Roby's efforts don't go unnoticed
BY MARK DENT
Richard Roby only had to beg one person for attention Saturday.
It was late in the first half, and the Colorado guard nearly ran into sophomore guard Brandon Rush trying to intercept a pass. After Roby tipped the ball, it rolled out of bounds, and the Jayhawks gained possession.
Believing he knocked the ball off Rush, he pleaded to the official, "You didn't see it. You didn't see it."
Roby didn't have to yell at anyone else to get them to notice the match-up between him and Rush. All eyes were on the two guards as they provided enough offensive fireworks to keep fans interested during a routine 97-74 Kansas victory.
By the time Roby walked off the court with 2:45 left in the game to a generous round of applause, he had torched the Allen Fieldhouse nets for 30 points. Rush, who had exited a few minutes earlier, tied a season high with 21 points.
"I heard that he said something in the paper about how he was going to stop me, but I challenged
myself to go out there and compete every possession." Roby said. "We were just two competitors out there trying to win the ballgame"
Early on, Rush was unquestionably the more competitive of the two. He dominated Roby offensively and defensively at the beginning of the first half. Rush scored on a pull-up jump shot to give his team a 4-0 lead and followed it up by finishing a fast-break dunk despite an obvious shove from Roby. No foul was called on the play, and Rush, visibly upset, stared down the referee for a few seconds.
20 minutes. Defensively, Rush also shined. Roby didn't attempt a field goal until the 11-minute mark and
"It made me mad a little bit," he said, "but you got to keep playing."
He channeled his anger well throughout the rest of the first half, finishing with 15 points, four rebounds and two assists in the first
turned the van over five times.

that I've seen him play."
The two switched roles in the second half as Roby heated up for the Buffaloes. Rush said he tried to limit his opponent's easy shots, but it didn't matter. Roby created his own looks on a variety of drives and crossovers.
"I think he's one of the best offensive players I've played against," Rush said. "He finds a way to score no matter what by getting to the free-throw line and just taking over the game."
"He had a hot start and really took the ball to the basket," Roby said. "It is one of the better games
That was evident when he almost single-handedly brought Colorado back in the game. He scored 10 early second-half points to bring his team
with nine at the 12-minute mark. But his individual heroes weren't enough to stop Kansas. Of course, Rush had plenty do with that.
A minute after Roby brought the Buffalooes to within nine, Rush made a crucial three-pointer in the left corner to extend the layhawks' lead to 68-54. Colorado never came close the rest of the way.
"The best players are supposed to carry your team and do what they have to do," said Kansas coach Bill Self. "Offensively, he's going to score points, and he needs to be our best perimeter defender."
Kansan sportswriter Mark Dent can be contacted at mdent@kansan.com.
Rush continued a streak of solid outings with his play Saturday. In his past four games, he averaged 16.3 points and 7.3 rebounds while guarding explosive scors such as Roby, Baylor's Aaron Bruce and Missouri's Matt Lawrence.

ONDAY JANUARY 29, 2007
KU TIP-OFF
WHAT'S AT STAKE
The Jayhawks once again find themselves in the national TV spotlight, something the 'Huskers are not accustomed to. It's another opportunity to show off to the country - and the NCAA selection committee. With five teams fighting for the Big 12 title this year, it's going to be crucial for Kansas to win games like this one.
STAR WATCH
Junior center Sasha Kaun
M. AYRIZAMENEH
Kaun
will patrol the paint tonight for the Jayhawks, and Nebraska's four-guard of defense means he'll have to do it alone. That could give
Kaun the opportunity to rack up gaudy numbers in the rebounds and blocks categories.
QUESTION MARK
WHICH JULIAN WRIGHT WILL COME TO PLAY?
Against Baylor, Wright was as good as he can be, turning in a complete performance on both sides of the court. That wasn't the case Saturday against Colorado, when he tried too hard to make spectacular plays. He's one of the best players in the Big 12. He just has to recognize that and quit trying to prove it every night. The numbers will come if he plays good fundamental basketball.
3 REASONS KU WINS
ONE — Sasha Kaun is a beast inside. The only way to get him out of the game is by hitting him in the unmentionables, and even that only sidelined him for five minutes.
TWO — The Jayhawk guards are on fire. They made over 50 percent of their three-pointers on Saturday, and while that is too much to expect on a nightly basis, it's still encouraging to know that they can make the shot.
**THREE** — Nobody in Nebraska cares. It's almost spring football time, and the second-string offensive linemen are getting more attention than the new basketball coach. It's hard enough to build a winning Big 12 team with fan support — it's even harder when youre also trying to let people know your team exists.
COUNTDOWN TO TIP-OFF GAME DAY
BIG GAME, BIG MONDAY 'Hawks face crucial game against'Huskers KANSAS VS. NEBRASKA 8 Tonight. Devaney Center. ESPN
Kansas 18-3,5-1 Big 12
Offense
Nobody expects Kansas to put up 97 points, although last year it did score 96 against Nebraska at home. Expect a patient game of ball control as coach Bill Self continues to train the team to run his offense. If the 'Huskers fall into a zone defenJe, expect Brandon Rush to take a couple of steps back and start hitting from three-point range. The Jayhawks will also continue their season-long quest for consistency. Some nights it's the guards carrying the big men, and sometimes it's the other way around. In an ideal world, all five starters would finish with about 12 points. That's wishful thinking, but getting both a forward and a guard in double-figures would be a step in the right direction.
KU KU KU
Defense
Colorado's Richard Roby was the only matchup problem on Saturday, but he is an NBA talent and was rarely double-teamed by the Kansas defense. The feature matchup tonight will be on the inside as center Sasha Kaun takes on Nebraska's Aleks Maric. If Kaun can establish a rebounding presence early, Nebraska will have to bring guards inside to help crash the boards.
Offense
The Jayhawk guards should be prepared for a long night of running, but with Mario Chalmers, Russell Robinson, Brandon Rush and Sherron Collins all playing terrific defense recently, this side of the court won't keep Self awake at night.
Nebraska's offense is best described as efficient. The Cornhuskers don't run up and down the court and score 100 points every night, but they make the best of everyone of their possessions with good shooting. Only Texas A&M has a better field goal percentage than Nebraska. Depth also aids the Husker offense; six players score seven or more points per game and all of them shoot 42 percent or better from the field.

Momentum
The Jayhawks went a perfect 3-0 last season against the Huskers, including a victory at the Big 12 Tournament in Dallas. Nebraska will be ready for Kansas – a Big Monday game at home is the perfect time to pull off an upset victory – but the Jayhawks have the talent to withstand the Huskers' best punch. Look for the game to be close at halftime, Lut lopsided when the final whistle blows.

Defense
Take a look at Nebraska's defense in terms of forcing turnovers and rebounding well and it doesn't look good. Actually, it looks awful. But somehow the 'Huskers, who rank dead last in rebounding and ninth in steals, allow their opponents to score only about 61 points per game. Their most impressive defensive effort came last week when they held the high-scoring Texas Longhorns to 62 points. Nebraska will have trouble doing the same against a hot Kansas team, but it should be able to keep the Jayhawks under 75.
Momentum
Nebraska is a solid all-around team, but it hasn't proven to be a winner yet. Saturday night, Nebraska got drilled by Kansas State in Manhattan 61-45 and looked lifeless, just as the 'Huskers have nearly all conference season. Except for the close game against the Longhorns, the Huskers have been sleepwalking. Doc Sadler is known as a good coach and an even better recruiter, but he hasn't won any marquee games since an early victory against Creighton. Winning a Big Monday game against Kansas with only one day to prepare after Saturday's loss will probably be too much to ask for.

TIP-OFF
WHAT'S AT STAKE?
Nebraska is in the same boat as Baylor and Colorado right now as big 12 teams with only one victory, if the Huskers are able to upset the Jayhawks, they will be back in the chase for finishing in the top half of the conference. A victory is crucial, because Nebraska has a rough schedule ahead with road games at Missouri and Texas Tech before a home game against Texas ARM
STAR WATCH
**Aleks Maric** is the best player in the league besides Texas' Kevin Durant. He is the main reason Nebraska is so efficient. The Australian shoots better than anyone else in the Big 12 and he defends
well, too. Maric averages 7.9 rebounds per game and can stop some of the game's best low-post players. Last year he held Louisiana's Paul
1234567890
Maric
Millsap, who is now in the NBA, to eight points while forcing six turnovers.
QUESTION MARK
DOES NEBRASKA HAVE ENOUGH EXPERIENCE?
Only two starters return from last season, and eight of the Huskers' 12 players are freshmen or sophomores. So far in the Big 12 season, they have shown this inexperience by stumbling in winnable games such as ones against Iowa State and Kansas State.
3 REASONS NU WINS
ONE — The Devaney Center. Nebraska is a tough team to defeat at home. It just lost its first home game of the year last week against Texas. Kansas won easily in Lincoln last season, but the Jayhawks routinely play close games there and lost as recently as 2004.
TWO — A mismatch. Most of the time, Nebraska plays a four-guard lineup, meaning someone for Kansas will have to guard a smaller, quicker opponent. Missouri was the last team the Jayhawks played that did something similar to this, and the Tigers scored 77 points.
**THREE** — Desperation. Right now, the Huskers need a victory any way possible. They only lost by one against Texas, but it still counts as a loss. Nebraska has only one victory in the Big 12 and that was against Colorado. A real victory is needed as soon as possible.

Maric
The last time Kaun played against this good of an opposing center he had his best game of the season in an 87-57 thrashing of Oklahoma State. That game, Kaun scored 16 points against Mario Boggan on a variety of dunks and turnarounds near the basket. More importantly, Kaun and Kansas' other post players held Boggan to 4 of 16 shooting. If Kaun does well against Maric tonight, he will establish himself as one of the top centers in the conference.

THE Underground
» UNDERGROUND OVERFLOW
Crowded eatery raises safety concerns
BY ERICK R. SCHMIDT
On any given weekday in the basement of Wescoe Hall, students pack the hallways, doorways and any other open space they can find. It's time for lunch, and students have nowhere to go.
An hour later, the hallways are scattered with pizza boxes, empty plastic bottles and crumpled newspapers. It's the difference an hour makes.
The Underground opened in September 2004 as an on-campus eatery with a convenient, central location. A week before the opening, then-assistant director of retail Michael Myers said The Underground was expected to double the daily traffic of the former Wescoe Terrace from 1,500 to up to 3,000 customers daily.
Two years later, the eatery now sees between 3,200 and 4,000 each day, said Jason Arnett, manager of The Underground. He said 80 percent of those visitors came between
11 a.m. and 1 p.m.
"Ive seen it crammed to the gills," Arnett said. "People were sitting on the counters. It concerns me."
Arnett's estimation means The Underground serves between 2,500 and 3,200 within two hours of each day. Arnett estimated that more than 500 students were sometimes In The Underground at one time. Those numbers, combined with recent sub-freezing outdoor temperatures and a seating capacity of 354 often force customers into nearby hallways to eat their lunches. The most common destination is the hallway directly east of The Underground.
Shalan Mill, Overland Park junior, said she only goes to The Underground once a month because of the crowd. When she can't find seating, she said she pretends to check her e-mail at the computers outside of The Underground just to get a seat.

"It's horrible." Mill said. "But it's
Students sitting in the hallways around the area sometimes make it difficult for the staff to do its job during busy points of the day. Arnett said. Sometimes, he said, the students inadvertently blocked
employees from emptying the trash or getting to a storage area.
"They don't want to move, and I understand that," Arnett said "I'm just worried about them getting

Since November, the women's wings on lower levels of Oliver Hall have played host to mice. After the women leave for the day, the mice busy themselves with ransacking food, cozying up in clothes and skirting through the halls of the building.
"I just want them out," said Megan Baumchen, Sunrise Beach, Mo., freshman.
The first mouse was seen before Thanksgiving break, and numerous have been spotted since. Concerned about a serious health
issue, third floor residents reported the infestation to the Oliver complex director shortly before winter break. What they saw upon return to campus was disappointing.
Glue traps had been placed in rooms with sightings, but the only mouse that met its end was one that lie on the floor, nowhere near a trap.
"The glue traps don't work," Baumchen said. "So we bought spring traps instead. We caught three mice, in one room, in one night."
caught in the room traps might have been caught in traps placed in other areas of the building.
Avila said he had worked for facility businesses for many years and glue traps had always been successful.
Vince Avila, associate director of housing maintenance, had another explanation for the sticky-trap scenario. He said mice that weren't
Last Wednesday evening, a mouse raid was successful. Third floor residents staked out a room with Fruit-Loop laden traps, catching three, and maintenance used glue traps, catching five. However, there may still be the "one that got away".

Faculty nominates students for award
Four from Kansas to compete for nationwide honor
Four University of Kansas undergraduate students received nominations from department faculty for the prestigious Barry M. Goldwater scholarship, which awards students nationwide who intend to pursue research careers in mathematics, natural sciences or engineering.
BY DANAE DESHAZER
Kyle Hesed, Otis junior; Stephanie Hill, Shawnee sophomore; Heather Owen, Leawood junior; and Laura Stiles, Prairie Village junior, will compete nationally with more than 1,000 other applicants to receive one of the coveted $7,500 scholarships awarded.
The Goldwater foundation will announce its final scholars and alternates in March. The foundation intends to award 300 scholarships this year. Last year the foundation awarded 323 scholarships.
Over the past six years, the University has accumulated 18 Goldwater scholarships, more than any other Big 12 school. Bruce Twarog, professor of physics and astronomy, said. Overall, KU ranks seventh in total Goldwater scholarships received out of 500 public universities. The KU department of physics and astronomy has produced more scholars than any other Big 12 department, with 10 scholarship recipients under its belt.
"I think our department has extremely high quality students," Twarog said. "We work hard to make sure our majors work with faculty on doing research. That's a key item."
Sue Lorenz, KU faculty representative for the Goldwater scholarship, said Goldwater is supporting this research so that students can discover new knowledge for the future.
Nominee Stephanie Hill started her research experience as a freshman in the medicinal

Study abroad participation increases
>> NATIONAL RANKING
BY NATHAN GILL
A recent study abroad survey ranked the University of Kansas first in the Big 12 and eighth nationwide in the number of undergraduate students who studied abroad.
The 2006 Open Doors Report, a survey conducted by the Institute of International Education, stated that 26 percent of undergraduates studied abroad in 2004-2005. The report reflects a four-year trend of study abroad growth at the University.
Susan Gronbeck-Tedesco, director of the office of study abroad, said she thinks students understand the value of an international education.
"I think students themselves have
passed that the world is changing
and they need to prepare themselves in a different way," Gronbeck-Tedesco said.

Profane language may be prohibited in China
SHANGHAI, China — Watch your language. This is Shanghai.
China's financial center is considering a law against using swear words in public, according to reports Monday, a sign of just how far the city has come from its famously profane 19th century dockside origins.
Newspapers and a government spokesman said the ban could be included in a law targeting spitting, littering, smoking, jawwalking and other behavior deemed disruptive or anti-social.
In recent years, Shanghai has sought to shake a reputation for rude behavior among residents.

Library displays rare historical book
BY TYLER HARBERT
The Spencer Research Library appropriately celebrated Kansas 146th birthday on Monday by showcasing one of its newest acquisitions
The library held a reception for donors who helped attain the book, "Kanzas and Nebraska: the History, Geographical and Physical Characteristics, and Political Position of Those Territories," which is believed to be the first book written about Kansas.
"It's our responsibility to provide this kind of access to scholars of Kansas history," Lorraine Harcombe, dean of libraries, said.
Haricombe said the book, published in 1854, the same year Kansas became a territory, will be on display for the public until Feb. 16 and will then be added to the library's collection of historical Kansas documents.
Written by Edward Everett Hale, the book is of great significance because it was inscribed by Hale to Elt Thayer, the founder of the New England Emigrant Aid Society, which worked to make sure Kansas didn't institute slavery.
"He continued to pour in money until Kansas was a free state," Karl Gridley, donor and local historian, said.
Gridley said that without Thayer's impact, Kansas could have become a slave state.
He said he initially wondered why the price of the book was so high when he found it from a dealer in San Francisco, because the book was not rare. After reading the unusual inscription, Gridley realized why the book was so important. He then raised funds in conjunction with the
Historic Mount Oread Fund to bring the book to the University.
Rebecca Smith, director of public relations and advancement for the University Libraries, said Gridley and his parents Marilyn and Roy, along with Katie and Kenneth Armitage and Jeffrey Thomas, also donated to the purchase of the book.
Smith said that because the book was attained through private donors and because the final price may not yet be decided, she didn't know the exact cost of the book.
But Smith said the book will be one of the preeminent resources in the Spencer Research Library.
"Based on the inscription, it's an incredible artifact and were fortunate to have it in our collection," she said.
Haricom said the libraries don't typically give special attention to
Kansas' anniversary each year, but the dedication on Monday could prompt future state-centered initiatives.
"The Spencer is open to scholars and researchers from all over the world." Haricombe said. "This is where we have probably the most comprehensive Kansas collection."
Virgil W. Dean, editor of the journal "Kansas History," said that the inscription dedicated to Thayer makes the book significant to Kansas and adds to the extensive records at the Spencer Research Library.
"It ites flesh out the collection of materials." Dean said.

hurt. If there was a fire, I don't even want to think about it."
Graduate student Nathan Cox has an office adjacent to the main hallway and said the problem had existed for more than two years. He said the noise was occasionally a problem, but that his main concern was for students who had to sit on the floor to eat.
"I feel bad that they have nowhere to go." Cox said. "I often have people sitting out here in the hallway, and I think I have a student waiting for me, but they're just eating."
Arnett's attempts to investigate any possible fire code violations have gone unreturned, he said. The building is not due for a remodel until 2014, so Arnett said he'll just have to work around the problem.
"I want students to be happy, and I want them to be safe," Arnett said. "Sometimes happiness and safety don't go hand in-hand."

Julie Bergene, Gardner freshman. Slipping from its trap, the mouse scurried behind Bergenes dresser.
The area behind the dresser is thought to be the problem for the infestation, Bergene said. Each room contains two dressers, and behind each is a small hole through which wires are routed. The hole leaves enough space for the mice to travel room to room throughout the hall.
"I saw a couple of them running around on the wires, like they were playing a game," Bergene said. "It's unsanitary. They carry disease. The problem needs to be taken care of."
The women of Oliver expressed concern not only for the sanitation of their living areas, but the cost of replacing food, cleaning personal items and buying traps when they felt the problem was not being resolved.
Mouse feces were found in dresser drawers of the intested rooms. Food bags were chewed into and wrappers ripped to
shreds. Baumchen was one resident who had to dispose of tainted food, sighing as she said the mouse "ate all my Riccola."
Diana Robertson, interim director of housing, said they try to be responsive.
"Our goal is to work with the students to eliminate food sources." Robertson said. A small crumb can be a meal for a mouse due to its small size. Therefore, students are encouraged to clean and keep their rooms as food-free as possible.
One reason the mice have immigrated to the residence hall might be the ground work being done on the soccer fields near Oliver. Avila said if mice are disturbed, they will try finding another quieter home.
Once the complaints were made, maintenance began treating the infestation with glue traps. This was the first step in the extermination process, and Avila said it was 90% successful for University maintenance. However, as more complaints were made by hall residents,
maintenance moved to the second step, poison. This particular poison does not kill mice immediately, but leaves them thirsty, to entice them into leaving the building to find water. University maintenance no longer uses spring traps.
"All you can do is try to get rid of them." Avila said. "We don't consider it a problem unless we keep catching them."
No complaints of mice have been reported since last Wednesday's raid, Avila said. Bergene agreed that she had not seen or heard any mice since Wednesday, even with her escape possibly still alive. The dining facility in Oliver has not had any rodent problems, but has taken preventative measures to ensure a sanitary kitchen and cafeteria for the students.

The four students nominated show potential in areas varying from medical imaging technology research to research and development of space vehicles. Kyle Hesed, who is pursuing his undergraduate degree in biology, hopes to one day contribute to education and conservation through teaching.
"The variety of different kinds of life in the world is pretty amazing to me." Hesed said. "Amphibians and reptiles interest me in particular."

LOS ANGELES — Niki Taylor filed a federal slander lawsuit against E! Entertainment for alleged intentional infliction of emotional distress with its profile of the model in the new series "Blvd. of Broken Dreams."
The U.S. District Court suit, filed Friday, also alleged fraud, breach of contract and invasion of privacy claiming E! Entertainment representatives falsely claimed the show would focus on Taylor's current life.
Instead, the suit said, defendants E! Entertainment Television Inc., E! Networks Productions Inc. and a producer focused on Taylor's past hardships and characterized her as a celebrity "who risked everything ... and lost."

Safe Ride donations cheaper than DUI
College and alcohol go together like Bacardi and Cola. Inevitably in a city such as Lawrence there are going to be a multitude of drunken college kids each weekend. This will never change. The problem is that each of those drunken students needs to get home from their choice watering hole at the end of the night. Getting behind the wheel of a car after a few drinks is not acceptable, but it happens.
Lawrence city officials and the Lawrence Police Department are taking the necessary steps to curb drunk driving. As many students know, Safe Ride is a popular alternative to waking up a sober roommate to get home. Safe Ride (785-864-7233) offers students, with student identification, a free ride home from the bars.
However, with such high demand and even fewer Safe Ride drivers, many students give up and find an alternative way home. Busy phone lines and long waits have been known to deter students from utilizing this helpful service. Safe Ride is working to the best of its ability
to provide an invaluable service to a large intoxicated population. The University just has a very large population.
A helpful solution to an even more helpful Safe Ride is to require a small fee per ride. Safe riders can now tip, but most riders are college students living on a tight budget. Spending that last three dollars on a beer means no tip money. By creating a small fee per ride, that is much cheaper than a taxi, Safe Ride can afford to hire more drivers. More drivers mean more Safe Ride phone calls answered and more intoxicated students get home safely. Students should program the Safe Ride number into their cell phones. This service is one that shouldn't ever be passed up when needed. However, a minor restructuring of the service could result in fewer DUIs and a safer Lawrence. A few dollars riding费 is much cheaper than a DUI and the legal fees incurred throughout that horrific process.

Your friend dies tomorrow. In a car accident. This car accident was 50 percent preventable.
This is hypothetical, yet realistic. The leading cause of death in those aged 16-24 is car accidents. A drunk driver is involved in 56 percent of all accidents according to the "Journal of American College Health."
Drunk driving 'has become such a taboo topic today. We have been weighing our comfort, convenience and entertainment over the safety of others for too long.

"No one wants to come pick me up."
If you decide to stay in for a night. Set your Facebook status as "Staying in, Please, call if you need a sober ride." You will help others be responsible without having to feel like they are putting you out. Also, next time they stay in, they may offer you a ride too.
Club with three girl friends. It cost us each $4. I would hope that your safety, and that of others, is worth at least that much. If you are on a budget, have one less drink. Then you will get home safely and you will have less of a hangover.
"Safe Ride's phone lines are always busy."
Let's put that four dollars towards our Safe Ride semesterly fee. We currently pay $6 a semester, and they are already trying to secure call waiting for their phones and increase their number of cars, according to Jessica Mortinger, transportation coordinator for KU on Wheels.
"I am only endangering myself."

Campus BLAST, a student organization, has partnered with local bars (the Jazzahaus, Red Lyon and the Ranch are included) to give free soda to sober drivers.

Drive your friend to the bar. Have that friend take you to your car the next morning. If you are worried about it getting broken into, leave it at a well-lit spot near or right off Massachusetts Street.
"I'm trying to hook-up with someone tonight."
No problem. Have a safe ride with your friend prepared as soon as it is time to head "some place a little quieter." How considerate of you to have a warm car ready and waiting for your new interest!
Going out and having a good time shouldn't come to a matter of life and death.It's time to start taking responsibility. Choose the easiest, most convenient solution to drinking and driving for you, and implement it in your group of friends.

We're all in this together, working to close the educational achievement gap
>> LETTER TO THE EDITOR
A year ago my application for a marketing internship in Dallas, Texas was rejected, sending me home for the summer with no internship, no job and no plans on how I would spend my time. Arriving home with an empty plate. I was expected to assist my mother in her elementary special education classroom as a way to "earn my keep." I had no intention of ever becoming a teacher, but, this is when my life began to change.
"to ensure that one day, all children in this nation will have the opportunity to attain an excellent education." I learned about the reality of the problem. Like the fact that by the time a low-income student is in fourth grade, he or she is already three-grade levels behind students in higher-performing schools. If you were unaware of the achievement gap in our country, hopefully you are catching a glimpse of it now.
all majors, but all understand the urgency of addressing the achievement gap. A 2005 Phi Delta Kappa/Gallup Poll reveals that the general public believes the achievement gap is related to lack of parental involvement, student interest, and upbringing. Teach For America has discovered that high expectations, school leadership, and teacher effectiveness have a great influence on impoverished students. They recognize that every corps member has the opportunity to institute change on his or her own, and each has the determination to do so.
I returned to the University in the fall with a new appreciation of education. I attended a Teach For America information session out of curiosity after reading its mission statement
now is the time to do it. We have the power — and the responsibility — to address this issue in our classrooms and in our careers beyond the classroom. I will serve as a 2007 corps member and teach elementary education in inner city Chicago. I do not know what the next couple years hold for me. But, I know that I must embrace the unexpected and take this life-changing opportunity head-on in hopes of making an impact on America's youth and narrowing the achievement gap.
Since Teach For America was founded seventen years ago, over 17,000 college graduates have made a difference in low-income schools. Corps members come from any and

》 COMMENTARY
Remember walking through the halls of elementary school beneath signs that read, "Believe in yourself," and "You're awesome!"? We all approve of helping kids to feel good about themselves, but in the scramble for good feelings, we may have created a society of people afraid to fail.
BY SAM SCHNEIDER
Finding success after failure
I saw an example of this on ESPN as the Texas Tech mob rushed the court in the layhawks' January 20 loss. The camera panned to the Kansas team exiting the court with towels draped on their shoulders. As if sickened, the camera then panned to more exciting shots of Bobby Knight.
KANSAN COLUMNIST
OPINION@KANSAN.COM
That's about the extent of what today's television producers will show us. We see a few courtesy shots of the losing team and possibly one interview with the losing coach. That's it.
If we began to appreciate opportunities offered by failure, a change would come. First, wed see more people pursuing careers that scared them instead of ones that felt safe.
In their book "The Leadership Challenge," authors James Kouzes and Barry Posner said, "Failure plays an important role in success. Recall the times when you tried to learn a new game. . . Did you get it perfect the very first day? Not likely."
We never question this, but imagine if, as the last shot of a basketball game rimmed out, the losing team was immediately beset by interviewers asking, "How can you do better next time?" and, "What did you learn about yourself from this game?"
Simple things would happen; people would buck up and apologize to each other instead of holding grudges. In short, wed see a lot more people with smiles on their faces because their old, mundane lives faded away and each day became a new adventure once again.
From kindergarten on, we reward children for what they get right. How many of us got back our seventh grade spelling tests and studied the words we missed? I'm sure some did, but I didn't.
Even now we slave all night on a paper in order to hand it to our professor who scrawls comments all over it. Then when we get it back we flap through the pages to find the letter grade written at the end, as if all the work meant nothing.
Schneider is a Topeka junior in English.
Instead, we focus on winners and minimize what ought to be a key learning experience: failure.

'Hawks thrash'Huskers
BY MARK DENT
Kansas 76 Nebraska 56 January 29, 2007
LINCOLN, Neb. - This was not a run.
Runs are short scoring bursts. They span a few minutes and lead to scores such as 12-2 or 16-4.
It allowed a marathon
No, Nebraska didn't allow a run. It allowed a marathon
Nebraska went 13 minutes and 43 seconds without a basket, and Kansas took advantage by scoring 27 straight points. The drought allowed the jayhawks to coast the rest of the way for a 76-56 victory.
"The game was over early really," Nebraska coach Doc Sadler said. "I told the guys at halftime the game is over."
Yes, the game was over really early, at the 16:09 mark to be exact.
Cornhuskers' freshman guard Ryan Anderson then sank a three-pointer to cut the Jayhawks lead in half at 12.6. From then on, the unimaginable happened.
Sophomore guard Brandon Rush hit two straight three-point shots, and Kansas was up by 12. Freshman forward Darrrell Arthur grabbed an offensive rebound and tipped it in. 20-6. Rush scored a couple more points. Then it was freshman guard Sherron Collins' turn. He gave the
Jayhawks a 23-point lead. Nebraska especially had nothing going its way when sophomore forward Julian Wright made a three-pointer. It was only the third one he's made all season.
"I think we were just star-struck; I really do," Sadler said. "I think they got hit so hard, so quick that it dominoed, and it was over."
Kansas made everything on its way to a 39-6 lead, but Nebraska's players couldn't hit any of their shots. Seven different players combined to miss 13 shots and a free throw. That free throw could have snapped the Huskers out of the slump a couple of minutes earlier, but junior center Aleks Marie's attempt rimmed out.
Free throw shooting was actually Maric's smallest problem. Nebraska's leading scorer at 17.6 points per game didn't even attempt his first field goal until 12 minutes had already elapsed, Arthur, junior center Sasha Kaun and junior forward Darnell Jackson took turns holding him in check.
They bumped and bruised the taller Maric every time he entered the paint. Their physical play forced him into two travels and limited him to only five touches in the first 10 minutes. The banner defensive performance against Marc came only two days after Kansas coach Bill Self called his big men "soft."
"He got a couple of fouls early, which helped us a lot," Self said. "I thought we defended him well in the first half."
For a while, Nebraska seemed destined to go to the locker room with only six points, but it heated up enough at the end to score 10 quick points and finish with 16. In the second half, the Huskers shot much better. Anderson even ended up with 19 points on six three-pointers. But in the end, the first half drought was too crippling for Nebraska to have a prayer in the final 20 minutes.
The Jayhawks, who had a reputation for letting teams stay in the game too long earlier this season, suffocated the Huskers shortly after the opening tip.
"They're a great basketball team all-around," Anderson said. "They don't change. They just keep doing what they do and play hard."

In the first half, the Jayhawks were hitting from everywhere and the Cornhuskers were missing from everywhere. Especially notable was Nebraska's lack of an inside presence. With Aleks Maric, junior center, shooting only twice in the first half, it was hard for the team to get the ball moving through the paint.

Russell Robinson, junior guard, dribbles past Nebraska during Monday's game
View from press row:
Sometimes players just need to make a certain shot. I think that Julian Wright has spent the past two weeks needing a three-point basket to fully regain his confidence. After hitting it with six minutes to play in the first half, he made a swishing motion and allowed himself to smile while running back downcourt. The three-pointer had helped define his identity as a forward who could play the perimeter, and getting it back will be huge for him.
If junior forward Aleks Maric jumps to the NBA at the
end of the season, Nebraska is going to be hurting inside. When he left the game, the average height of the five players Nebraska had in the game was 6-foot-2. That might fly in the Missouri Valley, but not in the Big 12. Coach Doc Sadler needs Maric back in a big-time way.
We are far enough into the season that Brandon Rush can finally play without worrying about the "Preseason All-America" label. It's a shame that all of Rush's good games have been viewed through that filter, because without it
he would be celebrated for what he is: One of five great players on the court for the Jayhawks at any given time. Can't we let that be enough?
It was a tough night for the Nebraska students. They arrived at the Devaney Center early in the morning for prime seats - a rarity at the football-mad school. After making some noise at the start, they took a seat at the eight-minute time-out. How bad was it? Inflatable mascot Lil' Red had a deflated head for a portion of the game.

Outfielder Preston Wilson signs Cardinals contract
ST. LOUIS — The St. Louis Cardinals signed free agent outfielder Preston Wilson to a one-year contract on Monday, retaining a member of their first World Series championship team in 24 years.
Wilson, 32, batted .243 with eight home runs and 17 RBIs in 32 games with the Cardinals after signing as a free agent in August. He totaled 17 homers and 72 homers last season with St. Louis and Houston, which released him
earlier in August.
In his first postseason appearance, Wilson was the Cardinals' primary left fielder and appeared in 13 games, including all five games in the World Series. He batted .200 in 35 at-bats with two RBIs in the postseason, but had the game-winning RBI double in Game 5 of the NLCS.
Wilson gives the Cardinals outfield depth with the ability to play all three spots. He also provides insurance behind Chris Duncan, who hit 22 homers in about a half-season as a rookie. Wilson and the left-handed hitting Duncan
Wilson has played for six teams in all or part of nine seasons, including the Mets, Marlins, Rockies and Senators. His best season was in 2003 when he had 64 homers and 141 RBIs for the Rockies.
platooned much of the time.
Wilson batted .269 with nine homers and 55 RBIs for Houston but was released due to a lack of power.
With the Cardinals he helped overcome center fielder Jim Edmonds' month-long absence due to post-concussion syndrome.

Missouri (13-6, 2-4)
Jayhawk Bookstore...at the top of Naismith Hill
It was only a matter of time before Mike Anderson's team broke out of its early conference slump. The Tigers are too talented and too well-coached to be at the bottom of the Big 12 Conference. The victory against Colorado last Wednesday was expected, but Missouri did something Kansas and Texas A&M couldn't do when it dominated Texas Tech last Saturday. Three of Mizzou's next four games are in Columbia and the road game is at Iowa State, so it wouldn't be a stretch to see the Tigers extend their winning streak to six.

Durant
Sure. Durant is so good that this award could practically be named after him, but he outdid himself this week. The freshman had his worst game in recent memory. Jan. 20 against Villanova, scoring 12 points in the first and only one in the second half in a big loss. Redemption came in the form of two outstanding efforts
THE MAGON WHEEL
LAWRENCE, IL
THE MAGIC WRECK
LAWRENCE IS
against Neoraska and Baylor. In his first game, Durant rolled Cornhushner Aleks Mari on his way to 26 points and 15 rebounds. Against Baylor, Durant made 13 of 15 free throws.
all of which helped his team escape with a too close 84-79 victory. Countdown until opposing coaches can start rejoicing about his early entry into the NBA: 148 days.
Start a conversation with these topics...
UnBearable — Another week like this and Baylar will be toe to toe with Colorado in the race for irrelence. The Bears got blowed away by Kansas last Wednesday, with the only positive being that just 17 people witnessed it. They did play competitively against Texas, but then blew it by having a cold stretch in the second half.
Oakland Red Raiders — Was that Aaron Brooks out there at point guard for Texas Tech against Missouri on Saturday? It might as well have been the offensively inept Oakland Raiders quarterback, because Tech went more than 10 minutes without scoring a single point. Luckily, the Big 12 doesn't keep track of humiliating statistics, because this one probably would have been a record.
Saturday's Second Best Game
Saturday's Second Best Game — The Kansas State vs. Texas match-up is flying way under the radar. If the Wildcats take care of business at home against Missouri on
Wednesday, they would be in second place with a victory against the Longhorns.
The DoraWatch — As Kansas fans already know, Darryl Dora scored 18 points against the Jayhawks in Texas Tech's upset. The Fastbreak bets Dora won't reach double-digits the rest of this year. So far, Dora has lived up to the billing. Last week, he had nine points against Texas A&M before missing his lone field goal attempt at Missouri.
Keep a close watch on the race for irrelevance... — Colorado's Richard Roby must be regretting his decision not to enter the NBA Draft. Here is Roby's lament about his decision in the form of Gilgamesh's famous cry for his dead friend Enkidu from the classic story "The Epic of Gilgamesh." Shouldn't I be a pro, cashing checks; shouldn't I be getting pine splinters from sitting on the bench? Ricardo, my coach whom I trusted so dearly, who would have been fired years ago if not for Chauncey Billups; the fate of resignation has overwhelmed him. For 10 more games I must suffer; thinking, if I shoot the ball enough perhaps I can still go in the first round.
You probably said 'Oh my God'about...
Julian Wright, Kansas
Apologies to Mr. Wright for having to bring up his um, well, embarrassing dunk from the Colorado game, but no one has ever missed one like that. Although Wright missed badly on his throw-down, here's hoping he continues to try to do the outstanding. Basketball is about having fun, and Wright always appears to have more fun than anyone else on the court.

aware of the mental toughness needed to be a successful closer. But Price said Garcia was also mentally ready to pitch out of the bullpen against Division I competition.
"He's got tremendous work ethic and I don't think he's afraid at all." Price said. "I don't think he is intimidated by anything."
Even if both pitchers' minds are sound, their arms will also have to handle the workload Czyz carried last season. This is where Smyth might have the advantage needed to pull ahead in the closer race.
Since his high school days, Smyth has conditioned his arm to be ready to pitch any day of the week. Not only was Smyth second on the team in appearances last season, he was also fifth in innings, behind Czyz and the team's three weekend starters.
Early in conference play last season, Smyth proved how much work his arm could handle. He pitched a season high five innings in the first game of the Nebraska series on March 25. By April 2 he added three more appearances and five more innings.
"I'm pretty resilient and I can bounce back pretty well." Smyth said. "However many innings they throw at me, I'd be happy to take them."
Garcia, on the other hand,

was a starter for the Mountaineers. While he pitched nearly 30 more innings than Smyth, most of those came with plenty of rest between appearances. It may take him time to adjust to pitching all out several times a week.
Despite the tight battle between the two, it hasn't gotten personal. Each one is comfortable knowing that the set-up role will go to whoever doesn't get the closer job.
"It's definitely a healthy competition." Smyth said. "We're very good friends and, if anything, we're just making each other better."
When Kansas takes on Hawai-i Hilo in a five-game series this week, Price will get a chance to compare the two in game situations. He said he planned to give each reliever two appearances on the Big Island.

his role will be when his new intro song debuts at Hogland, Smyth is focused on everything he learned from Cavz.
"Donnie would always tell me that the coaches were grooming me to eventually fill his shoes." Smyth said. "He taught me to take the game pitch by pitch because in the closer role, it's such an emotional roller coaster. You could be coming in just to get some work when you're up 5-0 or you could come in with runners on second and third, nobody
out, against Texas, you've got their hitter in the lineup coming up and you've got to freeze three guys in a row."
P.
If Smyth can succeed in such situations as regularly as his predecessor did, the bottom of the ninth at Hoglund will be sublime indeed.

Ralph Schoenfeld
BY RYAN COLAIANNIST
KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST
RCOLAIANNIST@KANSAN.COM
It has been more than a week since the athletics departments at Kansas and Missouri announced the move of the Border Showdown football game to Arrowhead Stadium.
I was not sure what to think when I first heard that the site would be moved. As a graduating senior, I have been fortunate to see two Kansas victories at Memorial Stadium against Missouri and have mixed emotions in seeing the game moved.
It makes sense for both athletics departments to move the game on a financial basis. The $1 million guaranteed money
that Missouri and Kansas will receive each year is nearly double what those departments can expect from a regular home game at either Memorial Stadium or Faurot Field.
The complaints by local businesses make sense, especially when you look at Kansas' home schedule next season. Who really gets excited for Central Michigan and Florida International? But these businesses have the luxury of seven home games in Lawrence. Since the NCAA now allows 12 regular season games, it gives Lawrence businesses one more home game than they had previously been used to. Yes, the only real marquee home game in Lawrence next year is Nebraska, but businesses will have ample opportunity to make money during the seven games.
The problem is these two teams are not national players. Since the inception of the Big 12 Conference, the game has had no influence on who wins the conference or even who wins the North division. It is
going to be difficult for this game to excite people on a national scale. Sure people in Kansas and Missouri are going to be excited, but why should someone from Florida or California care about this game? It will likely only determine which team will go to one of those bowl games with long-winded corporate names.
If this game is going to be a success and try to mimic what Florida and Georgia or Oklahoma and Texas have, the athletics directors need to be very careful in how they set this game up.
River Shootout each year is special because you can distinctly tell that the stadium is evenly split. Seeing burn orange on one side and deep red on the other is a great sight.
Second, sell from the bottom up. Do not release tickets in the upper deck until those in the lower bowl have been sold. That will eliminate a potentially embarrassing look
Just because the students aren't paying top dollar for the seats doesn't mean that they should be scattered around the upper deck.
First, the fans of the two team need to be split by side. Sell tickets to Missouri fans on one side of the stadium and sell tickets to Kansas fans on the other. Watching the Red

of empty seats. That would make both programs look terrible and likely eliminate this idea from being extended past the two years that has been agreed on.
I'm a gine someone turning the game on and seeing pockets
Third, include a ticket to the
game in the student ticket package.
Yes, I understand that the game is during Thanksgiving break, but the students are a huge part of this rivalry, and thousands of students from Johnson County and Wichita will likely make the trip to Kansas City for the game. Without them, this will look like an NFL pre-season game. If the athletics department doesn't want to include the ticket in the package, make sure that tickets are available to students for $10.
Fourth, establish actual student sections. Students need to be seated together in the lower level. Just because the students aren't paying top dollar for the seats doesn't mean that they should be scattered around the upper deck.
Lew Perkins and Mike Alden can ensure that this game is a success if they do it right.

CREAMED CORN
Jayhawks use hot start, stifling defense to blow by Cornhuskers
KANSAS
24
BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS
LINCOLN, Neb. - The layhawks had heard the gripes. The big men play soft, there is no consistency, Kansas can't put away opponents.
During the past few weeks those complaints piled up like the brownish, dirty snow outside Allen Fieldhouse, an unsightly mess that was becoming an annoyance.
Monday night, the Jayhawks finally melted away those doubts with a sizzling defensive performance in a 76-56 rout of the
Nebraska Cornhuskers.
"We didn't plan to come out there and blow them out like that," sophomore for ward Brandon Rush said. "But they weren't making shots."
He had no such problems against Nebraska. Wright scored the first eight games of the game and threw in one of his trademark thunder-dunks in the second half to announce that he was back.
On this year's team, nobody knows more about those expectations and sophomore forward Julian Wright. After a strong showing against Baylor, he came back down to earth against Colorado in a game that included a missed dunk.
"We didn't plan to come out there and blow them out like that. But they just weren't making shots."
"I usually don't come out that aggressive," he said. "We were

the Huskers dismal offensive per formance, the lahayws still played close to perfect in the first half. Coming just days after defeating Baylor by 26 and Colorado by 23. Monday's performance may have been enough to silence even the biggest doubters.
"Part of playing at Kansas is that there are high expectations," junior guard Russell Robinson said. "No matter how good you do, it's not going to be good enough unless you cut down the

shot attempts in the first half, making it impossible for Nebraska to move the ball through the paint. The stagnation resulted in a 13:39 stretch where Nebraska didn't score.
"Julian and Brandon were both great. They made the easy plays and moved the ball," Self said. "And they were both aggressive, which was great to see."
By the time the second half began the game was already out of hand. Nebraska cut into the Kansas lead, but two time-outs by the layhawks and a media

Competition for closer position
KANSAS
Paul Smyth, sophomore pitcher, prepares for new responsibilities after a solid freshman season. Closer and set-up positions are available on the roster.
Amanda Sellers/KANSA
With the Kansas baseball season opener merely two days away, Paul Smyth hopes Sublime's "Pawn Shop" will soon be the song that takes away any expectations opposing hitters have for a comeback in Hoglund Ballpark. Each pitcher has an intro song that plays as he enters the game.
BY SHAWN SHROYER
Smyth is a sophomore reliever for the Jayhawks and, although a year of tutelage under former closer Don Czyz has given him the inside track to earning the closer job, transfer Hiarali Garcia is pushing Smyth for the role.
When it comes to closers, intro songs are just as important as over-powering fastballs or off-speed pitches that buckle batters' knees.
"Because we lost so many people, it seems like almost every single role is open." Smyth said. "Really anyone can step in anywhere."
J
Although Smyth appeared to be the incumbent for the closer role this season, Garcia has become a serious candidate for the role since his arrival from Eastern Oklahoma State in the fall.
Smyth was a key component of Kansas' bullpen last season, setting the school record for appearances by a freshman with 36; second only to Czyz's 37 on the season. Smyth finished the season with a 5-1 record and one save as Czyz's set-up man. Facing tougher competition, however, Smyth's ERA and pitching ratios weren't as impressive as Garcia's with a 6.13 ERA and 37 strikeouts to 72 hits and 15 walks in 54.1 innings.
But stats alone won't be enough to replace Czyz. As a closer, Czyz had the killer instinct necessary to seal a victory regardless of the situation and the short-term memory that helps closers put bad outings behind them.
and it's easy to see why with the numbers he posted in 2006. In 12 starts and 82.2 innings pitched, Garcia finished with a 6-3 record, a 2.58 ERA, 89 strikeouts, and only 69 hits and 22 walks surrendered.
Smyth has been a relief pitcher most of his career, so he's well

Coaches rank Jayhawks near bottom in poll
However, 2006 proved that much could change between the preseason and postseason. Last season Kansas tied for eight in the preseason conference voting with 24 points, but eventually finished fifth in the regular season standings and swept the Big 12 Championship, defeating Nebraska 9-7 in the title game.

.
The Big 12 Baseball Pre-season Coaches Poll was released Monday and the Jayhawks were picked to finish ninth out of 10 teams with 22 points in the voting, despite their Big 12 Championship victory last year.
Despite its success last season, Kansas lost a chunk of its impact players to the MLB Amateur Draft and graduation, including its entire weekend rotation and the top four players in its batting order. This likely contributed to its low standing in the poll.

Legendary color man distracting
Vitale losing focus
BY TRAVIS ROBINETT
KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST
TROBINETT@KANSAN.COM
Dick Vitale is easily ESPN's best-known college-basketball commentator. He's coming to Lawrence this Saturday to call the Texas A&M game. Some love his shtick while others find it annoying. But his style aside, he's just not as good as he used to be. For some reason, Vitale can't stay focused these days.
On Jan. 22, Mike Rutherford,
a dedicated Louisville fan, took
notes on Vitale's performance during
the Cardinal's game against the
Connecticut Huskies. Rutherford
wrote down every topic Vitale
discussed other than the game at hand,
then published the results on his
blog, www.cardchronic.com.
It seems that Vitale, college basketball's all-time greatest ambassador, recently came down with a severe case of attention deficit disorder. According to the list, he went off topic 156 times. I didn't believe it was possible. "The list is 100 percent real," Rutherford said in an e-mail. "Actually there were a couple of times Vitale just tossed out the last names of people I'd never heard of, so the list is probably three or four items shorter than it should be.
He's never shy to praise Kansas basketball. He gave Nick Collison a standing ovation for his performance against Texas in 2003, a classy moment most Jayhawk fans will never forget. He also helps charitable causes like the Jimmy V Foundation, which fights cancer. Really, Vitale is a great guy and by every account he used to be an awe some announcer.
Rutherford's list includes: Duke, Kansas, the Indianapolis Colts, Mike Kryzewski, the New York Yankees, Duke's 1986 team, Maria Sharapova, Bill Parcells, Johnny Dawkins (former Duke basketball player), Rosie O'Donnell, Donald Trump and Awesome Baby (his race horse), just to name a dozen.
"If you watch an old college game on ESPN Classic you'll realize that he used to be a great color man," Rutherford said. "I recognize all that he's done for college basketball and appreciate it."
"I do kind of hope Vitale saw it," Rutherford said. "Not necessarily because I want to embarrass him or anything, but because I want him to realize that people are tired of this."
Vitale deserves unlimited credit for giving college basketball a fun and familiar face for many years. There's no denying his enthusiasm for the game and his appreciation of all its aspects, especially its great fans.
Some fans will never get tired of Vitale. His appeal is still widespread. He'll never get tired of announcing games either. Everywhere he goes fans carry a pedestal for him.
But his job is to watch the game and comment on what's happening. It's as simple as that, and he hasn't been doing it. So please, Dick, leave the off-topic remarks for the dinner table and just call the game.
Robinett is an Austin, Texas senior in journalism.

ACCIDENT
Student dies in rollover wreck

A 23-year-old KU student was killed in a rollover accident that injured one other man south of Lawrence Tuesday morning.
and was pronounced dead at the scene. He was not wearing a seat belt.
Kyle Almeida, Warrenburg, Mo., senior, was driving a 1997 Ford Taurus on East 1600 Road around 2:30 a.m. Tuesday when he lost control of the vehicle. Douglas County deputies reported Almeida had been ejected from the vehicle

The investigation is still ongoing, but initial information showed that the vehicle was traveling south and rolled multiple times before coming to rest in a ditch.

Almeida graduated from Warrensburg High School in 2002. He attended Baker University before transferring to KU in 2004.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway made a statement following the announcement of the accident.
"On behalf of the entire KU community, I want to express profound sorrow at the tragic death of Kyle Almeida," Hemenway said in the statement. "I offer our deepest sympathies to Kyle's family and friends. He will be missed."
Keith Diaz Moore, chairman and associate professor of architecture, also released a statement Tuesday.
"His optimistic, easy-going style let Kyle play an important social role in his cohort, which makes this loss particularly devastating." Diaz said in a statement. "Architectural education demands many hours spent in our small studio classes, and this leads to a lasting social, almost
familial bond among students and faculty. For those of us that knew Kyle under those circumstances, our hope is that we shall learn from his sweet and gentle nature and his ever present smile. He will be sorely missed."

involve means using environmental and financial resources efficiently.
Campus sustainability traits included administrative commitment to environmental policies, green building and energy use. Investment traits included endowment transparency and investment priorities.
"The university is created to serve the common good and educate people," Orlowski said. Part of that is looking out for the environmental good, he said.
In the report's three financial categories, the University received two failing grades, one for not revealing the location of its endowment holdings and one for not making statements about shareholder decisions public.

University opens sustainability center
BY DANAE DESHAZER
After the work of a nine-person sustainability task force, the first University of Kansas Center for Sustainability opened Tuesday afternoon with an office in Carruth-O'Leary Hall.
Stacey White, director of academic programs at the center, said the center would sponsor externally funded research, student-based research projects, new service learning courses, and student ambassadors to work with other student organizations to increase awareness. The minimal funding for the center comes from the student tuition enhancement
White said sustainability was develop
ment that meets the needs of the present without compromising future generations.
In Fall 2004, the sustainability task force began researching the potential of an area for external research and project implementation that focuses on producing a more sustainable campus.
Jeff Severin, director of the center, said the administration was interested in making the University more environmentally responsible. There was also a student proposal for an environmental center. These two issues combined created the idea of the center and its goals.

Independent study to test feasibility of water recycling
BY BRIAN LEWIS-JONES
A group of students hopes to help the University of Kansas conserve water and save money.
Studie Red Corn, Shawnee junior, created a new independent study with Bryan Young, assistant professor of civil, environmental and architectural engineering, for students to assess the feasibility of storing runoff water on campus for later irrigation use.
"It's not a lecture class," Red Corn said. "It's actually going out and finding solutions to these things."
The independent study, which attracted
o
15 students to its first session, originated from a resolution Red Corn proposed to Student Senate last year.
Student Senate loaned $30,000 for plan development of a runoff water storage system, an amount that must be paid back within 10 years.
The students in the course will focus on a small area of campus to evaluate effectiveness of such a water system, Red Corn said.
"The idea is to let the students lead the way on the course", said Young.

Kelley Puckett
BY HALI BAKER
Studying pharmacy is a challenging route to choose as an undergraduate, but add a husband and two children to that and life becomes even more demanding. Kelley Puckett, a 27-year old Kirkland, Wash., junior.
lives a life that many students would find impossible to manage.
Each morning her husband, Sean,
loads their two sons, Tristan, 4,
and Deklan, 2, in the family's only car
and takes them to daycare and
drives to work.
Puckett catches the bus and rides
to the University of Kansas. She said she spread her schedule out from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. so she can do homework and study in between classes.
"I can't go home and just start doing homework". Puckett said.
As soon as she finishes on campus, Puckett changes from dedicated student to hardworking mom. She cooks supper and gets the boys ready for bed. It's about 8 p.m., before she can begin her homework. Puckett said she tried to go to sleep around 10 or 11 p.m.
"The hardest part is feeling like I'm putting enough time into everything," she said. "I there's not enough time in the day to get it all done."
Puckett has always encountered difficulty finding a place to fit in at college. She said she was younger than most of her classmates at her
last school. Now, her role is reversed; Puckett is older than the majority of the student body.
In an effort to get involved on campus, Puckett participates in the Non-Traditional Student Foundation. The group helps her network with other non-traditional students so she can feel included among an overwhelmingly younger population.
Although she didn't picture herself as a college student at age 27, Puckett has no complaints.
"You deal with what you go," she said. "I'm thankful for everything 1 get to do."

Misfired bullet hits neighbor on toilet
CASPER, Wyo. — A man accidentally discharged a new pistol he was unfamiliar with, firing a bullet that nicked his arm and eventually struck a man using the bathroom in another building, police said.
However, since the bullet traveled through two walls, across a courtyard and ricocheted off a shower wall, it left only a small brusque on the chest of the man it hit, and he did not require treatment, police said.
The incident occurred about noon Sunday.
"it's one of those freak happenings," police Sgt. Mark Trimble said Monday.
Trimble said Erick Hovermale of Casper was cited for misdemeanor discharging a firearm in city limits.

STUDENT SENATE ELECTION
United Students join race
BY ASHLEE KIELER
A new coalition joined the race for Student Senate this semester with the formation of United Students, which hoped to bring a new, fresh outlook to the race.
Hannah Love, Dodge City junior, will be running for student body president with Ray Wittlinger. Olathe junior, as her running mate
United Students formed from the need students and friends expressed to Love and Wittlinger for a new student coalition that could offer something more, Love said.
Students believed there was a need to create an energetic coalition that was inclusive to all students, Wittlinger said.
Love, currently a junior/senior college of liberal arts and sciences senator, said United Students' first meeting had a positive showing.
"We have a lot of supporters already, supporters who want to run for senate seats, graduating seniors who offer support." Wittlinger said.
Love and Wittlinger don't have their platforms hammered out yet, but they did know that they wanted United Students to stand for.
"We don't want to be a student council, we want to be a student senate. We want to relate to students and faculty." Love said.
"We want to make sure Student Senate isn't distant from any group on campus," Wittlinger said.
Love believes she will make
a good student body president because of her work ethic and ability to work well with faculty.
"Hannah has a way to articulate what students want to administration." Wittlinger said.
Wittlinger said his ability to relate to senators and what Student Senate does to students will give him an edge come election time.
"If we say we're going to do something we are going to do it and show students how we plan to do it," Wittlinger said.

Scottish Fest invigorates arts center
BY RICHELLE BUSER
The outside of the Lawrence Arts Center is a dull gray. But through the metal doors the atmosphere transformed into a cultural wonderland. The festival inside filled the building with the sites, sounds and smells of Scotland In its 11th year, the annual Scottish Fest invited people to enjoy the country's traditions on Sunday.
Booths offered visitors a glimpse into the life of Scots. One booth gave interested athletes the opportunity to participate in traditional Scottish games. In 2007, the Kansas City Scottish Highland Games is celebrating its 30th year. There were seven games, most of which involve throwing weights, but these events are not restricted to muscular men.
Men under 190 pounds could participate in the lightweight category. This group, along with groups of men older than forty and female competitors, threw weights that were significantly lighter. Men who
weighed more than 190 pounds challenged themselves and showed their strength with heavier weights.
Others could show off their talents by performing both traditional and national Scottish dances. This art form has been mastered during the last 2,000 years and combines strength, speed and grace.
Each individual dancer performed with two others in front of judges that evaluated them on a number of categories. Whether

competing or watching, these high land dances were an exciting event for all.
"There's something for everyone to enjoy, whether athletic or not," said Lori Henderson, the athletic director for the Kansas City Scottish Highland Games. "Vendors at the Games sell Celtic jewelry and this year the Elders, one of the most
foods such as marmalade cake and snack mixes gave visitors many options to choose. The chef, Cordelia Brown, not only
created numerous treats but also performed in one of the bands at Scottish Fest. Along with Brown's band, Forest Green, others including Uncle Dirtytoes and Douglas Phenix performed.
One of the most identifiable representations of Scottish culture was the bagpipes. Both the site and sound of bagpipers is a unique
experience of Scottish music. The Pipers of the Plains, a group of men from Topeka, played while adoried in plaid kills, button-up shirts and coordinating socks, shoes, sweaters and caps. The group has performed throughout the area, including at the inaugurations of Kansas governors and for the Kansas National Guard. At Scottish Fest, the pipers tapped their feet to the music while entertaining audiences with classic Scottish tunes and other popular songs.
The Lawrence Scottish Fest provided a glimpse into another world and was an eye-opening experience. Whether a Scot or just someone curious about the country and its people, this event was an educational yet fun environment for everyone.

Drunk driver warns of dangers
BY KYLE CARTER
Mark Sterner woke up in a hospital bed after two weeks in a coma with no idea where he was or how he got there. He could spend up to a 45 years in prison and faced the realization that he killed three of his best friends in a drunk-driving accident.
Sterner spoke to more than 200 people at 6:30 and more than 400 people at 8 Tuesday night at the Kansas Union Ballroom about the night that changed his life.
"I relieve the worst night of my life over and over with complete strangers so that nobody else has to go through what I go through," he said during the speech.
That night, recorded by the group of friends on a shaky home video, began with shots of Jagermister and Rumplenizn in a Florida hotel room. Next the group drove to a bar that Sterner said was about 35 minutes away. With the camera still rolling and beers in hand, the group hit 100 mph on a winding road with a speed limit of 35 mph.
"Tonight's gonna be one of those nights," a voice said off camera.
The group danced, yelled and sang off-key at the bar. Upon leaving, Sterner said they argued in the parking lot about who would drive. It was their sixth night on spring break and each of the five took turns staying sober the first five nights. That night they decided that the least drunk would drive home. They decided on Sterner.
Less than 15 minutes later, three were dead.
Sterner was critically injured, and the fifth man, Sterner's roommate for all four years of college, was only slightly injured. Sterner said that his former roommate refused to talk to him since that night.
Photographs of the wreckage
showed a mangled Lincoln Towncar, the front end smashed, one of the front wheels bent sideways and the passenger's side door wide open, crumpled up against the car's body.
Sterner served a reduced sentence of three years in a maximum security prison in the company of rapists, murderers and other violent criminals.
He was charged with three counts of felony second-degree manslaughter. After his release, a judge ordered him to serve 12 years of probation.
Joe Santaudaria, Dallas sophomore, said he thought drunk driving was extremely prevalent on campus. He attended the event with many of his fraternity brothers and said they take turns as sober drivers for B.A.D.D., Brothers Against Drunk Driving.
Sterner said that he doesn't speak to seek forgiveness or as a part of his probation, but rather to prevent others from making a mistake that would cause them to suffer for the rest of their lives.
"I killed my friends and that's my real punishment," he said. "That's my life sentence."
Sterner said he had spoken to more than a million students across the country, but turned down requests to appear on Oprah, Montel and other talk shows so that the families of his deceased friends did not have to relive the tragedy through the national media.
"See, life's all about choices." Sterner said near the end of the program. "I got in that car. I knew I was drunk, but I thought I could get us home. I was wrong."

SLAB submits textbook bill
Legislation would remove tax from all required books
BY JOE HUNT
Students who hope to spend less on textbooks may be in luck. Textbooks and other required media may become tax free.
The Student Legislative Awareness Board submitted a bill on Wednesday to the Kansas Legislature proposing that any textbook required by a public or private college or university be exempt from sales tax, Ian Staples, Student Senate legislative director, said that this was an easy way for students to reduce the cost of education without harming universities.
"As opposed to lowering the rate of tuition and directly affecting the budget of the University, we can just do this," Staples said.
According to a July 2005 report by the Government Accountability
Office, textbook prices have risen at twice the rate of annual inflation in the last 20 years, averaging out to a 7 percent increase per year.
Tom Retonde, manager of
jayhawk Bookstore, 1420 Crescent
Rd., said the bill was a good idea.
"I think anytime you can get a tax break on anything, it's a good situation," Retonde said. "It would be great for students."
Retonde said it would be easy to program jayhawk Bookstores computers to not charge tax on text books, "as long as we had a student ID to verify purchase," she said.
Tim Norris, director of KU Bookstores, agreed that it would be easy to implement changes in the computer system. Departments and professors at the University don't pay sales tax on educational merchandise and that students
shouldn't have to either, he said.
"I spent almost $300 on three books this semester." Towns said.
"I don't know where those taxes are going, but it'll be nice not to deal with them."
For students, it's about saving on booklets. Anna Towns, Hays sophomore, said she spent a lot more than she would have liked.
"I remember growing up in Michigan, books and magazines were not sales taxed." Norris said. "It was about the free spread of information"
As of now, there is no date set for voting on the bill.

Bill would ban discrimination
》 SEXUAL ORIENTATION LEGISLATION
BY TYLER HARBERT
A new bill proposed in the Senate Federal and State Affairs Committee would prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation in Kansas.
Jason Pryor, Columbus senior and Queers and Allies director, said he was excited at the possibility.
"It would be one more step closer to equality," he said.
Though he said he hadn't personally been discriminated against, Pryor said he could face problems if he decided to make a long-term commitment with a partner.
"Like with anything else, it takes time to gain acceptance and equality," he said.
A similar bill was introduced in 2003 but died during the last legislative session because of a similar Kansas marriage amendment that was introduced at the same time,
said Thomas Witt, state chair for the Kansas Equality Coalition.
Witt and his coalition authored the new bill and introduced it at the statehouse about two weeks ago. He hoped the revised version of the bill would have more success.
"I think it's going to be a little different this time around; he said.
Though every major city in Kansas has an Equality Coalition chapter, Witt said Lawrence was the only area that has a citywide ban against discrimination. He said similar statutes in Shawnee and Topeka only protected state employees.
Witt said the bill was significant because it attempted to provide equal rights for all Kansans.
"People get fired for being gay; people get kicked out of houses for being gay." Witt said.
Stephanie Bottoms, Omaha.
Neb., senior and communications director for Queers and Allies, said she hadn't been discriminated against in housing or employment, but said she sometimes got dirty looks and comments.
Bottoms said she wasn't familiar with the proposed bill but was doubtful about sexual orientation measures getting passed in the Midwest. She said any areas where similar laws were introduced helped the LGBT community.
"I feel like it's too early in passing, but not in getting our voice out there and telling people this is a concern of ours and we want to be treated as equals." Bottoms said.

Rape victim jailed from old warrant
CRIME
BY PHIL DAVIS ASSOCIATED PRESS
TAMPA, Fla. — A woman who told police she had been raped was jailed after officers found an old warrant accusing her of failing to pay restitution for a 2003 theft arrest.
The employee, who has worked for a tail health care contractor for about six months, was placed on administrative leave, DAngela said.
While she was behind bars, according to Vic Moore, the college student's attorney, a jail worker refused to give her a second dose of the morning-after contraceptive pill because of the worker's religious convictions.
The 21-year-old college student was released Monday only after her attorney reported her plight to the local media,
"Shocked. Stunned. Outraged I don't have words to describe it," Moore said "She is not a victim of any one person. She is a victim of the
system. There's just got to be some humanity involved when it's a victim of rape"
Moore said it was too soon to say if his client would sue. Her first priority was making sure detectives find her attacker.
Tampa Police Chief Steve Hogue said the arrest led to a new policy that tells officers not to arrest a crime victim who has suffered injury or mental trauma whenever "reasonably possible." The agency also apologized to the student.
Jennifer Dritt, executive director of the Florida Council Against Sexual Violence, wanted more explanation from the jail, saying the woman's arrest "makes people think law enforcement doesn't have a victim-centered approach."
"Obviously, any policy that allow a sexual battery victim to spend night in jail is a flawed policy," polic spokeswoman Laure McElroy said.
Tampa attorney Jennifer D Angelo, who represents the jail worker, said Tuesday that her client is prohibited from giving inmates any medication without specific orders. The worker insists she never discussed religion with the woman who reported being raped.
"She was mortified at what was being reported in the press," said
The sheriff's office, which runs the jail, said in a statement Tuesday that it is investigating the complaint and declined to comment further.

SUSTAINABILITY (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Jen Humphrey, Kansas University Endowment Association spokeswoman, said it was difficult to make shareholder decisions public because they constantly changed. She also said there was a competitive advantage to keeping investment strategies private and that the association had never heard of the Sustainable Endowments Institute.
"KU Endowment does strive to be transparent, as does our annual report," Humphrey said.
The University scored an A in the report's administration category, which applauded the actions of the University's provost, Student Senate and environmental programs.
Several organizations work with environmental issues at the University.
The Environmental Stewardship Program manages the University's recycling program. Jeff Severin,
director of the Environmental Sustainability Center, said there were more than 500 recycling bins on campus. The program recycles office paper, newspaper, aluminum cans, plastic bottles and glass.
"We need to do our best job as stewards of the resources that are available to us." Severin said.
Severin said the program recycled 527 tons of waste in the last fiscal year and made $25,000.
"It generates some revenue to cover some operating costs." Severin said.
John Cross, Kansas City, Mo. junior, is a member of Student Senate's Environmental Advisory Board. Cross said the board worked with University organizations, including KU Environics and 20/20 Vision, on environmental issues.
Cross said last semester the board worked to increase the number of recycle bins on campus, made sure the Athletics Department's planned rowing boathouse wouldn't endanger bald eagles and created a class to study water conservation on campus.
"We look at anything and everything concerning sustainability on campus," Cross said.
Orlowski said that out of the 100 universities surveyed, the University's C- was an average score.
"I think it's important for the University to spearhead the movement for sustainability," Cross said.
"The grades are important," Orlowski said. "But people should be focused on the policies and initiatives assigned to them."

FIRE SAFETY
Sprinkler program overcrowded
BY MATT ERICKSON
A number of businesses have applied for the city's new Downtown Sprinkler Program — so many that the city will have to reject some of them.
The program reduces the cost of installing fire sprinkler systems for businesses that qualify. Kevin Doyle, city infrastructure and development coordinator, said. Twelve businesses had applied for the program as of Monday, with about five more likely to apply soon. Doyle and City Manager David Corliss drafted the specifics of the program.
"It's a pretty tremendous incentive program in terms of magnitude," Doyle said, "so it does not surprise me at all that there are going to be a number of businesses that express interest."
The program will reimburse businesses for up to 75 percent of the cost of installing sprinkler systems. Doyle said the system would cost the average downtown building $30,000 to $40,000.
The program also will provide the necessary tap to the city's water line, which would normally cost about $5,000, for a flat fee of $3,000, Doyle said. Multiple buildings can share the same tap.
The $250,000 budgeted for the program by the city commission probably won't allow the city to accept even all the businesses that have already applied, Doyle said. Businesses have until March 2 to apply.
Doyle said the city would give preference to businesses that are located on Massachusetts Street or have tenants unstairs.
City Commissioner Dennis "Boog" Highberger said the program could help make downtown safer without intruding on anyone's rights.
"I think the attractiveness of this program is that it's voluntary and not mandatory," Highberger said. "I see it as a partnership that's in everybody's best interest."
Paley Properties and Investments owns the properties of several businesses that have applied for the
program. Company co-owner Judy Paley said she didn't want downtown to fall victim to a major fire.
"I really hope that other businesses will be able to put in sprinkler systems." Paley said. "Or, I should say, I hope they're willing to."
Paley also said she hoped insurance companies would provide breaks to businesses that installed sprinkler systems.
Doyle said only 13 percent of the 202 commercial buildings downtown had full fire-sprinkler systems and only 9 percent had partial systems — leaving 78 percent of the buildings with no sprinkler system at all.
"There is an understanding that if there were a large fire in one of the downtown businesses, it could take out a significant portion of downtown." Doyle said.

GREYWATER (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Young said speakers would be brought in during the semester to discuss design constraints and current storm water issues.
Cindy Strecker, energy program manager, said that in the 2006 fiscal year, the University put 103 million gallons of water into Lawrence's sewer system. Currently, the City of Lawrence charges the University $4.25 per thousand gallons of water that goes down the drain, she said.
could reuse the water for irrigation on campus. He said if the project worked, it would pay itself back.
Red Corn said that by capturing and storing water that runs off roofs and roads, the University
"Students are learning and the University is benefiting." Red Corn said.
Red Corn said students in the independent study would also look at water retention, or keeping the water temporarily in a pond. In addition, students would study vegetated swales, which are used to filter storm water through plant life before it gets to creeks and streams.
Young said water would likely either be stored in an underground storage tank or a pond. He said that many people used to store water in cisterns, similar to what the independent study is proposing.
"People are looking back at it and saying, 'Oh, we can do this,' " Young said.
"Even if no material comes out of the class, students will learn a whole lot." Red Corn said.
The first part of the course will involve students collecting information on storm water management techniques. Students will then split up into groups and pitch separate feasibility studies. Red Corn said the end goal would be two to three feasibility studies with cost analyses.

CENTER (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
In October, Provost Richard Lariviere approved a three year trial of the center to see the achievement of its goals.
"There's an over-arching goal for the center of getting as many areas of campus involved in this project," Severin said. "Everyone on campus can participate and feel like they are a part of the center. We want to make the idea of sustainability part of our daily life on campus."
To start spreading the idea of sustainability on campus, David Orr will present the lecture "Rumors of Unfathomable Things: Climate Change and the Human Prospect," at 7 tonight at the Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
White said Orr was often revered as the thought leader on this subject and focuses on what higher education institutions could be doing to foster a sustainable future.
Orr said the main focus of his lecture was climate change. He will also talk about how students can develop a career and life that matters by joining the effort of sustainability.
"The evidence is now clear that we are running a one-time experiment with the Earth and it's turning out badly taster than anyone thought possible, even a few years ago," Orr said. "It is the eighth inning and we're down a couple of runs."
Severin said that Orr's lecture was in perfect timing with the prevalence of the idea of sustainability at the University and the opening of the new center.
Severin said sustainability was an all-encompassing spectrum of ideas.
"Sustainability isn't necessarily just environmental." Severin said. "It encompasses economics, promoting prosperity and social justice. It has a broad reaching focus."

WORLD Castro appears healthier in recent videotape
HAVANA — Cuban state television station on Tuesday showed a video of a heavier looking Fidel Castro meeting and speaking with Venezuela President Hugo Chavez, the first images of the allying leader shown in three months
The report said the 10-minute video clip was taped on Monday
The newest images seemed to be aimed at debunking the most recent round of reports about Castro's health, including a report in the Spanish newspaper El Pais that described his health as "grave."
during a two-hour private meeting in Havana.
Both leaders appeared to take pains in the video to make clear when the session occurred. Chavez was heard saying that it
began at 3 p.m. on Jan 29. Castro read aloud a headline of a Saturday article from the Argentine newspaper Clarin.
Castro, who was standing, looked more alert and heavier than in previous images that had showed him much more thin and frail. Dressed in a red, white and blue track suit, Castro was shown sitting and drinking orange juice.

Microsoft releases new Windows operating system
RALEIGH, N.C. — Retailers around the world stayed open through the wee hours of Tuesday morning to sell the long-awaited Windows Vista operating system, even though most knew customers wouldn't be lining up out the door.
Microsoft says PC users will want to upgrade to Vista for its 3-D user interface and speedy desktop search function. The Redmond, Wash., software maker also tours Vista's improved security and parental controls.
But consumers whose computers work fine with XP may not see a compelling reason to switch.
"I want to see how many problems there are, what kinds of bugs are in it," Kathleen Calvin said after leaving a Best Buy in Brooklyn, Ohio, empty-handed. "There have been problems when softwares came out before. I just want to make sure it's something that's going to work well."
During the past few weeks, shelves in the computer section at one Best Buy in New York have been essentially bare, as consumer lost interest in laptops running Vista's predecessor, Windows XP, and the retailer cleared space to sell new machines running Vista.
Though consumers can download Vista over the Web for the first time, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer told one audience that, as in the past, most consumers will switch to Vista only when they buy new computers.

Soaring campaign funds obscene
Recent news from the escalating 2008 presidential campaign foretold what many frustrated citizens have long suspected: the 2004 contest may have been the swan song of publicly financed campaigns. When Sen. Hillary Clinton announced that she was forging public financing for both primaries and the general election, we may have witnessed the last gasp of the campaign finance reform movement. Even Sen. John McCain, that stalwart of "straight talk," moved to remove his name from pending legislation of same subject, perhaps the symbolic fatal blow to his own efforts.
The drive to keep private money out of public elections predates the births of most University of Kansas students and has encountered significant free speech questions; namely, to what extent does a contribution constitute expression? But the most recent developments point to concerns of a more ethical nature: how can a candidate ignore the lure of private money without succumbing to the corruption of influence-buying and favor-currying?
The public financing system would have given Sen. Clinton about $150 million to spend, and by rejecting the money and its accompanying restrictions she is betting that she can raise and spend much more than that. With the proliferation of wealthy individual donors,
corporations hedging their bets with apportioned donations, and private groups spending copious amounts on a candidate's behalf, she is almost certainly correct. The Federal Election Commission says it expects spending by eventual 2008 candidates to exceed $1 billion.
Ours is a nation that prides itself on staging free and fair elections, but also on the free market principles that dictate many of our economic decisions. The suggestion that strict spending limits should be enforced, or that all campaigns should be funded only by public dollars, often seems like a suspicious affront to our libertarian core. In our media-saturated society, it would be nearly impossible to enforce any ban on privately funded campaign messages.
We face in the coming years the difficult task of bridging the divide between free speech and free spending, a dilemma complicated by the Maginot Line that is campaign finance law, a set of regulations that is easy to avoid and defeat. The total demise of campaign finance regulation is hardly a fait accompli, but Congress must act quickly to construct a fair and tempered system that preserves free speech but ferrets out corruption.

Both the imperialistic nature and the political hypocrisy relate to the U.S. as an institution. It would be wrong to blame individual Americans for the result of foreign policy and events passed, but theoretically people are responsible for government, especially in a democracy.

Resentment towards the U.S. is justified, but it's the U.S. who holds the key to diminish this attitude. Mistakes will happen, and those in power will always be under more scrutiny.
U.S. can reduce bully reputation
The United States' image around the world has been deteriorating the past few years. According to a poll by the BBC conducted in 18 countries, only 29 percent of people interviewed believed the U.S. had a positive influence in the world. That's not really surprising considering Americas current foreign policy, but resentment against America has always existed. Is this resentment justified? The short answer is yes.
To understand why a group of people has a certain point of view you can't examine the situation only from your historical context. You need to attempt to understand what led to the development of that perspective.
The U.S. is an economic,political,cultural and military empire. The world's economy and the U.N. are subordinate to American interests. The invasion of American culture in other countries is undeniable. Around the world,American movies and songs are played,people are buying Big Macs and English is being learned.
The same way colonial Americans resented Britain in the 18th century, people from other countries hold a grudge toward America and the power it exerts over the world.

resentment is the constant hypocrisy in America's history. Ever since America established itself as an independent nation it has preached values that it considered essential — particularly liberty, justice and objecting totalitarianism. These values, although preached, have been consistently secondary to national interests.
P. B. K.
America claims to despise totalitarian regimes, but in practice it's another story. If the U.S. is, and wants to be viewed as a bastion of freedom, why did it support coups detat in South America that replaced democratically elected governments with brutal dictatorships? During this traumatic period thousands of people were killed and the military regularly practiced torture methods taught by the U.S. Students and artists labeled as "subversive" were targeted. This explains the resentment the student movement in South America has against America. The coups might
America needs to be humble and avoid self-righteousness. Just because the U.S. is the only remaining superpower doesn't mean it should act irresponsibly or ignore mistakes from the past. To truly achieve an ethical coexistence on the international level the U.S. needs to practice what it preaches, and understand how its power affects people around the world. It should constructively use that power, avoid acting unilaterally, and respect other countries' cultures and interests.

Old celebrities shouldn't relive glory
"You wanted the best, and you've got it. The hottest band in the land..." For decades, the rock band KISS has introduced themselves onstage with this mantra. Even though they still toured last year, their two founding members, Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons, are both nearly 60.
HOW TO GET OUT OF IRAC
A few months after the KISS tour in Japan, the first previews of "Rocky Balboa" appeared. More recently, news of the new "Indiana Jones" and "Die Hard" movies was released. The original films in each of these series debuted more than 20 years ago, as blockbusters that turned the leading actors into superstars.
I'm a big KISS fan. I'm a member of the KISS Army, their fan club, but the band is "old school." Everywhere you look today aging superstars are trying to revive their most famed days.

these epics appear cheap. They're hollow in comparison to the original series. Given the drop in quality in new installments, why do it?
It might be because producers can't think of anything better than Rocky versus geriatrics. Or maybe these performers love these roles.
Harrison Ford, star of the "Indiana Jones" series claimed it was one of his favorite roles and, if given the opportunity, the only one he would do again. Similarly, front man Paul Stanley performs with KISS because of his great love for performing and the band's hundreds of loyal fans.

It's important that new generations are introduced to these performers. They should be introduced to the roles that made them stars, but not in a revival of that role. As for the stars themselves, they should keep working, but on new projects, and remember when they were "King of the Nighttime World."
Just because a performer loves a role, doesn't mean he or she should do it. At a certain point you become too old to be an action star or a sex symbol, and should think about doing other things. Harrison Ford doesn’t need to go back and cheapen one of his most beloved characters. The same could be said for Paul Starley, who recently went on a successful tour to promote his new solo album.

Learning about art worthwhile

BY BRYAN DYKMAN
Dennis
KANSAN COLUMNIST
OPINION@KANSAN.COM
In the next two days, before the First Friday art galleries opening in downtown Kansas City, I am going to learn how to evaluate art.
/
Usually the critique is handed to me in some textbook. I know that the "Mona Lisa" is good. I know about the grin and how it infuriated the men of the day because they couldn't figure out what she was smiling about.
This is where Luke Underwood, a freshman, comes in.
The problem is I'll be looking at pieces that are fresh off the easel. My sense of evaluation will need an artist to help sharpen it.
Luke was Shawnee Mission North's representative to the Shooting Star competition his senior year in high school, where he toured one of the sponsor's private galleries. He heard this persistent conversation there with a few "old guys" that sounded something like this: "This one is good. This one is bad. I just bought a new BMW."
I think I can do that.
This is the type of behavior I'm looking to correct. I lack a background that is rich in art history, but Luke thinks I can make up for this by creating a dialogue. Does the composition work? Is it pleasing to the eye? Does it feel intentional?
It would be great to get some dialogue going on Friday. Then I'm reminded that not all the people there are looking for a discussion on aesthetics. A lot of them are looking for a free glass of wine and a maybe a little bohemian tingle. Open forums on composition tend to be left in the doorway when free cocktails are involved.
"For every piece that is hung on the wall, you will find someone who is willing to defend it." Luke said. "You will also find someone who hates it. But it's the dialogue that counts. The goal is to try to reach some kind of consensus, so that each person can come to a more objective view."
Because I feel so compelled to evaluate this art, Luke thinks that I need to start working on some pieces of my own. It's only after I've been through the process that I'll be able to make any discussion-based sense out of it.
I feel like I am back to canvas one. I'll walk into that first gallery and still be unable to offer anything beyond "it's good or it's bad" I'm not even going to pretend I can afford a BMW.
I should give up and try some of that free wine, but Luke reminded me, "I think the reason that you find it so pressing to learn how to evaluate art is because you have some sort of emotional attachment to it."
I have less than two days.

Young, old feel effects of ageism
KU research: Discrimination seen, perceived in workplace and everyday life
BY BRIAN LEWIS-JONES
Age isn't always in the eye of the beholder.
Young adults, ages 17 to 25, and adults older than 64 see themselves as the targets of ageism, according to recent research by three University of Kansas professors. Ageism is discrimination based on age.
The study, conducted by Teri Garstka, Mary Lee Hummert and Nyla Branscombe from the University and Michael Schmitt from Purdue University, found that while ageism was not psychologically harmful to young adults, older adults reported lower self-esteem and a diminished feeling of control.
The research, published in the Journal of Psychology and Aging, also found that because of ageism, older adults identified more with their age group. Group identification provided a feeling of acceptance and eased psychologically damaging
effects.
"It's our natural tendency to categorize people and think of ourselves in our own groups," said Hummert, vice provost for faculty support.
Age is a unique social category
because it changes throughout a person's lifespan, unlike other social categories like race or gender, said Branscombe, professor of psychology.
Many young adults cited age discrimination in
group to advance to.
Even though age discrimination did not harm the well-being of young adults, it was still something that Andrew Corson experienced.

the form of legal restrictions, such as purchasing alcohol or voting, according to the study.
Hummert said ageism had few psychological effects on young adults because their age group was temporary, whereas older adults had no age
more, tried to buy tobacco when he was of legal age using a temporary pink-colored paper license. When the cashier wouldn't accept the document, their conversation escalated to a five-minute
argument that resulted in shouting and obscenities. Still, Corson said he wasn't bitter about skeptic store clerks.
"For bars and buying tobacco, that's just legal discrimination," Corson said. "They have to by law."
For older adults, age discrimination was evident in the workplace, even though laws were implemented in the late 1960s that prohibited businesses from basing hiring decisions on age, said David Ekerd, director of the KU Gerontology Center.
"After all this time, it's still thought that older people are not better workers." Ekerdt said.
People may also lose self-worth in old age because they typically withdraw from major roles in their job and their family, Ekerdt said. Older people could gain a sense of group identification by becoming more active in their church or community, he said.

'Hawks search for offense Inconsistent scoring leads to winless Big 12 Conference record

With the way things have been going for Texas Tech and Kansas, the University might just as well save some energy and leave the scoreboard turned off tonight.
The offensively challenged Jayhawks play host to the Lady Raiders, who have had some problems of their own when it comes to scoring.

Self wants intensity as season winds down
BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS
While the layhawks are warming up before games, Bill sell won't be found on the Allen Fieldhouse court.
"I don't watch warm-ups," the men's basketball coach said. "Because Id just get mad."
That level of focus and intensity has helped him guide the layhawks to the top of the Big 12 Conference this season. And with the postseason around the corner, he won't be toning it down anytime soon.
That's why when junior guard Rodrick Stewart missed a dunk in
the final minutes of Monday's 76-
56 blowout of Nebraska, Self wasn't
about to ignore the play.
"I have a hard time letting things go," he said. "That's just how I coach, and I'm sure that's how I'll always coach."
There are only 42 days until the first-round games of the NCAA tournament begin. The time between now and then is an opportunity for the layhawks to put the finishing touches on their offense and win some big games against conference foes.

Let's be original creative for ESPN
it's time to put our game day faces on.
This Saturday will be more than just the biggest conference game of the season — it will be Kansas fans' best opportunity to showcase our talents as the best fans in the country.
ESPN College GameDay will set up shop in Allen Fieldhouse and broadcast throughout the day, including the Kansas game against Texas A&M. During a College GameDay broadcast, the cameras constantly catch fans in the back ground talking up their team. The cameras also will randomly scan the crowd, which allows for us fans to be the biggest idiots we can be on national television for two seconds.
BY ERIC JORGENSEN
In those two seconds you have to make your image last. It is up to you to make UConn, Duke and UCLA fans say, "Yep, they're the best." Or if they go to North Carolina, "Daggum! Them's the best fans in all' Dixie. Yipe!"
First, here is something that absolutely no one should do: Every time a camera scans the crowd and I see a group of people all leaning forward, holding up one finger and yelling, "We're number one." I want to punch the person next to me.
If you are so unoriginal that when a camera hits you, all you can think to do is scream like a teenage girl on MTV's Total Request Live and hold up number one, then move to the back and let someone with brainpower take over.

EJORGENSEN@KANSAN.COM
To reinforce our position as the best fans in the country, we need to really take it to the max this Saturday. So, let's brainstorm some ideas that will show some loyalty to our team and make every other school tealous.
Instead, if you're going to yell, make sure everyone else in the building is yelling with you. There should be a never-ending roar that deafens everyone working for ESPN. If they are able to easily broadcast all day, we aren't doing our jobs. I want to see ESPN basketball commentator Digger Phelps turn around and scream at us to shut up and throw a highlighter that matches his tie at us.
Go out and yell your lungs out.
Enjoy the attention while we have it
Saturday's game will be the second of the three biggest games of the year — the first being Oklahoma State and the third being against Texas. Sweeping these teams would be an impressive feat and would give Kansas the confidence it needs to make a March tournament run.
With that said, it's important to not let down against the Aggies. Coach Billy Gillispie is a former assistant to Kansas coach Bill Self, so we can expect to play a team very similar to our own. These kinds of

Spring season kicks off Basketball gets more than 200 teams
The Student Recreation and Fitness Center's spring intramural sports season tipped off Sunday, with the first five-on-five basketball games beginning early in the afternoon.
Interest is high again this year, as more than 200 teams are signed up to compete. Pool play will run throughout the next three weeks and teams will be seeded for a tournament that will be held after pool play is complete.
Students have the opportunity to compete in many separate divisions and are not restricted to just one team. The open divisions for both men and women are generally the most popular, as students have the chance to play in either the competitive or recreational sections. Students are also allowed to play on a co-recreational team as well, which also attracts many organizations and groups of friends.
Play consists of two 20-minute halves, with a running clock that only stops during the last two minutes of each contest. One time-out is allotted to each team per half, as well as a three-minute halftime. In co-recreational games, any two-pointer made by a female player counts for three points, while three-pointers they make count for four and free throws for two apiece.
Assistant director of sport programs Kurt Schooley said 224 basketball teams were registered to play this year and 16 additional teams had been put on a waiting list.
"The interest in intramural basketball is pretty similar to last year." Schooley said.

As always, students were very
This year, the open divisions feature teams named "Good If It Goes," 12 Amazing 4 Words" and "Shake and Bake," while the co-recreational division includes "Big Bucks No Whammes" and the "Slobberknuckers."
In one Monday night game, "2 Amazing 4 Words" defeated "The Architects." 41.34
"It was our first time playing together and we had a balanced attack of guards and big men," Landon Lukens, Medicine Lodge junior, said.
Many other intramural sports and games are being offered this spring, including bowling doubles to Texas Hold 'Em to a bench press competition. One change that has been made this year is holding the regular soccer competition in the spring instead of holding it in the fall. The 3-on-3 soccer competition is now held during the fall semester. Soccer will begin play on March 26.
One new sport being offered is Wallyball. Registration begins Feb. 22.
"Wallyball is like volleyball in a racquetball court." Schooley said. "There are four people on each side, and shots can be played off of the walls."
Racquetball doubles and table tennis doubles are the next sports that will be offered this semester. Sign-ups for these two sports run through Thursday and registration can be done at www.recreation. ku.edu.

For Texas' Durant, NBA can wait Freshman phenom may stave off pros, improve skills on college courts
AUSTIN, Texas -- The answer was a simple one for Kevin Durant.
While Durant has mentioned that the thought of the NBA does cross
Once everyone heard that Durant was headed to Texas, they knew the Longhorns would only get to enjoy him for one season. Let's face it, without the NBA age limit that requires players to be one year removed from high school in order to enter the draft, Durant would have likely bypassed college.
Heck, he even joked about buying a new arena for the Longhorns. In reality, one day he could, if he wanted. However, the new shot clock might come later than expected.
After witnessing yet another malfunction with the Erwin Center shot clock this past weekend against Baylor, Durant offered to help out with the costs of fixing it once he signs his first NBA contract.
his mind from time to time, he leaves most of the talk about his future fortunes up to the national media and fans.
Not only is he leading the conference in scoring (32.7 ppg) and rebounds (13 rpg), Durant is now
And with the season he's having, it's not a stretch of the imagination to still feel that he's gone after this season.
being mentioned as a top candidate for the National Player of the Year award.
The Longhorns aren't even halfway through conference play yet.
When Durant was named the Big 12 Conference Player of the Week on Monday, he set a new Big 12 record for most weekly awards in one year with seven: Three Player of the Week honors and four Rookie of the Week awards. He was also named Dick Vitale's "Diaper Dandy of the Week" for the second time this season.
But if Durant had to make up his mind right now about whether or not he wanted to leave college for the NBA, the answer might not be as simple as most expect.
One of the special things about
Durant is that he only cares about getting better on both ends of the court. He knows the money is there waiting for him, whenever he decides to leave college. He also knows that Barnes and his staff can help him become an even better basketball player as he spends more time at Texas.
So, while it's really too early to tell whether or not Durant will stay in college, don't be too surprised if at the end of this season he comes back for his sophomore year.
And if he does decide to stay, the Longhorns could always hit up a player like T.J. Ford for a new shot clock.
The new arena can wait on Durant.

Jayhawks head to paradise
Not quite two weeks into enduring bitterly cold walks to class, icecovered roadways and daily indoor practices, the baseball team headed for warmer temperatures.
The team left Tuesday for the sunny skies and warm beaches of Hawaii. When Thursday's season opener rolls around, the team will be fully acclimated to the forecasted 78 degree Hawaii weather, pushing memories of the Kansas tundra briefly from their minds.
Kansas starts a five-game series against Hawai'i-Hilo Thursday.
Warm it is. Vacation it is not.
"They're a scrappy team," sophomore closer Paul Smyth said. "You're not going there for a vacation. The goal is to go there and pick up five wins. If we're not winning five, then we feel like we've failed."
For the past five years that Kansas has made the trip to Hawaii, coach Ritch Price and his players have made it clear that the trip is all baseball. Price is known for using the trip similarly to the way Major League Baseball uses spring training, because the team travels to Hawaii for quality competition and a chance to get outside in prime
baseball playing weather.
With a 10-1 record in the past two seasons against the Vulcans, the focus is predominantly baseball.
“There’s not a lot of downtime,” junior outfitter Brock Simpson said. “It’s not a vacation at all; we treat it very businesslike.”
Simpson said a typical day in Hawaii involved waking up, eating breakfast and occasional free time before heading to the ballpark for warm ups and game time.
Players are usually able to squeeze some fun into their free time.
"Our hotel was right by the ocean, by this beach," Simpson said, recalling last year's trip. "There was this big stone thing we were jumping off into the water."
"I love to jump off rocks and do things like that whenever possible." Smyth said. "Growing up you're by the coast, you find cliffs to jump off and go swimming in the ocean. It's second nature."
Smyth was the first to take the plunge.
Their break ended that afternoon and the lavahawks headed to the ballpark for the task at hand. But the Vulcans shared more than their good weather with their opponents.
"The Hawaiians are really, really social," Simpson said. "So we were talking with them before the game and we were telling them about it. Come to find out they say that's some of the most shark-infested water in all of Hawaii — big-time tiger sharks. I don't think we'll be doing that again this year. But it was a great time — until we found out."
Coach Price did not join them on the cliff-diving adventure. In fact, he chose to fill his spare hours with baseball. Last season, Price's youngest son, Robby, now a freshman at Kansas, joined the Jayhawks on their trip to Hawaii.
"As wed just finished jumping off the rock and swimming in the ocean, we started walking along one of the streets," Smyth said. "We see Robby and Coach Price. Coach Price is carrying a bucket of balls because he just finished throwing batting practice to Robby. So he's there 100 percent baseball. There's no other question, even in your free time."

BASKETBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
In the first two weeks of February the team will take on Texas A&M, which is currently leading the south division, and arch-rivals Kansas State and Missouri. Russell Robinson said those games would get the team ready for March.
"We're not talking about it, but we know each one of these games is going to help prepare us," the junior guard said.
On Monday, Selt was especially pleased with the performance of sophomore guard Brandon Rush and sophomore forward Julian Wright. The two dominated the early portion of the game, and at halftime the other three starters — Robinson, junior center Sasha Kaun and sophomore guard Mario Chalmer's — had only three points between them.
The hot hands of Rush and Wright helped out an offense that has been shooting the ball well since conference play began.
"We said all along we had better shooters than what we shot." Self said. "Hopefully that's just the law of averages prevailing."
He's also coaching the players to take easier shots than the highlight-reel plays they sometimes try to make.
"Basketball is a lot easier game — and it's a lot more fun to watch — when you're making easy plays." Self said he tells the team, "You add up a lot of easy plays and they'll look great."
That's what has happened on the offensive end in the past three games. The team shot 50 percent
against Baylor and 55 percent against Colorado. The 45 percent Kansas shot against Nebraska was weighed down in part by the second half, when the team's backups entered the game.
Now with tougher games on the horizon, the Jayhawks will look to sustain that momentum through the end of the conference schedule and into the tournament. Their coach won't let them do it any other way.
“There’s only like 40 days until the big dance starts,” he said. “It’s not asking too much to be focused for that amount of time.”

JORGENSEN
(CONTINUED FROM 1B)
games are never easy.
If Kansas can match a stingy Texas A&M team on the defensive side and wear it down on offense with constant motion and attempts to draw fouls, Kansas should be able to grind out a victory.
Texas A&M is as well known for its defense as Kansas, if not more. So, if the final scores are the 50s or low 60s, it is likely the game will be decided in the final seconds. However, if Kansas can really push its offense and get the score into the 70s or 80s, Texas A&M won't be able to keep up and Kansas should win by 10.
The layhawks need a big victory against the Aggies to truly solidify themselves as a team who can defeat anyone. Victories against top-ranked teams like Florida, Oklahoma State and Texas A&M would be an impressive resume for halfway through the season.

feels a little bit more comfortable." Morrison said. "I get more confidence when I come off the infield and go up for an at-bat. I feel confident in what I'm doing. I feel fluid."
BASEBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
Coach Ritch Price recruited Morrison to someday fill Ritchie's spot at short and he's already noticed that Morrison is better suited to play shortstop.
"The hardest ball that Erik has trouble with is a ball that's right at him". Price said. "Third base is a reactionary position, but at shortstop he has more time before the ball's on him."
Instead of having to focus extra attention on defense, Morrison has been able to help Robby take over at third base.

Like Morrison, Robby has had to learn a new position as a freshman. Robby played third base this past summer, but at times still had questions about where he should position himself. He said having Morrison right by his side made it easier to learn the position.
In addition to learning a new position, Robby has had to deal with comparisons to his older brothers. But Robby said living up to his brothers' standards was secondary to contributing as a freshman.
"There's always that extra attention on me," Robby said. "We're just looking for guys to step up and hopefully I'm one of those guys who can get it done."
Not that Morrison needed any reminder of Robby's abilities after years of playing together, but he had no doubt that Robby was going to be fine in his old spot.
As Robby ran across the team's indoor practice facility. Morrison pointed to him and said, "That freshman there is going to be good."

COMMENTARY
College basketball analysis covers wide spectrum
A's ESPN's College GameDay
A LMSN's College GameDay prepares to come to town. it is remarkable to think how well known sports talking heads have become. Phrases such as "diaper dandy" and "send it in" are now part of fans' everyday vernacular. Lost in the fray is the broadcaster who actually makes the game more enjoyable to watch. Without further ado, I give you the best and worst play-by-play and color men in college basketball.
Best play-by-play
Kevin Harlan, CBS. He is simply the best in the business. His combination of a booming voice and dramatic flair makes any game he does feel like a big game. His trademark "right between the eyes" call remains his trademark, and he gets bonus points for being a Kansas alumnus.
BY KAYVON SARRAF
KANSAN COLUMNIST
KSARRAF@KANSAN.COM
Dan Shulman, ESPN: Shulman somehow manages to stay on top of the action despite being paired with a maniac like Dick Vitale. He rarely makes mistakes.
Dave Armstrong, ESPN Regional! He is the king of the cheesy pun. Armstrong once mentioned that "nobody perspires like Russell Robinson" during the Ball State game. Yes, he said that.
Worst play-by-play
Brent Musberger, ESPN: No comment necessary for those who have heard Musberger.
Jay Bilas, ESPN and CBS: A former Duke, but he is still able to remain unbiased and provide actual game analysis, which is rare these days.
Best color
Bill Raftery, ESPN and CBS. The game may be starting to pass him by, but he is still lovable for his catchphrases such as "to the tin" and "a little lingerie on the deck."
Jon Sunvold, ESPN Regional:
It's a shame ESPN dumped Sunvold in favor of Fran Fraschilla for Big 12 games.
Doug Gottlieb, ESPN: The former Oklahoma State point guard
once most famous for wearing his shorts backwards against Kansas has become a solid analyst. He provides a Big 12 perspective to the nation and is not afraid to speak his mind.
Worst color
Dick Vitale: Dickie V. has become a caricature of his old self. Watch a 1980s game on ESPN Classic and he actually analyzed games. Now he spends the whole game screaming and ranting.
foolish.
Billy Packer, CBS: Packer often provides valuable insight, but often fails to do his homework on teams and says things that make him look
KANSANCLASSIFIEDS
Digger Phelps, ESPN: He's not really a color man, but as a studio analyst few say more outlandish things, such as last week's comment that Texas Tech is the Big 12's best team. He loses points for always holding a highlighter that matches his tie色. But as Gottlieb said on Kansas City radio last week, this may not be a bad thing because it keeps viewers' minds off his words.

Defense key for Wildcats
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MANHATTAN — Much has changed since Kansas State and Missouri last met on Jan. 13 in Columbia, Mo.
Going into that game, both teams were winless in the Big 12 and seemingly headed for the sort of stumbling, bumbling, non-tournament seasons that usually accompany coaching changes.
The Wildcats, under coach Bob Huggins, won 85-81 and haven't lost since, compiling a five-game overall winning streak that has run their record to 13-6 overall and 4-2 in the

league and sparked talk among fans of a possible NCAA playoff berth.
Missouri, under first year head coach Mike Anderson, went on to lose its next two and fall to 0-4 in the Big 12, before winning two straight.
When the two old rivals from Big Eight days have their rematch Wednesday night in Bramlage Coliseum, they'll have a lot more to play for than anyone three weeks
ago would have guessed.
In their most recent game, the Tigers [13.6, 2-4 Big 12] defeated what everyone considered the hottest team in the conference,

3 freshman, had one game where he blocked a school-record eight shots. The team total of 91 blocks is just four short of what Kansas State had all last season. Bennett's 41 blocks have already shattered the team freshman record.
"I think we've done a great job of team defense," Huggins said. "And then offensively, we've had different guys step up."

"One of the things in conference play is you've got to go with more urgency," said Anderson. "We're starting to see more of that now. In the Kansas game, I thought we played with a sense of urgency that allows us to have a chance to win."

No. 10 Texas A&M.
BOB HUGGINS Kansas State Coach
Defense is what Huggins' Wildcats do best. Jason Bennett, their 7-footing his mind after his mom told him she would prefer that he play for the Tigers.
Kansas State has reeled off wins over Baylor, Iowa State and Nebraska since its trip to Columbia, giving the Wildcats their first four-game conference win streak since the Big 12 was formed. Throw in a defeat of Illinois State and Kansas State takes a five-game winning spree into their 8 p.m. tip-off against the Tigers.

On Monday, he was chosen the Big 12 rookie of the week for the third time this season after averaging 14.5 points and 4.5 assists in back-to back victories.
"My biggest concern was the defensive side of the ball, but he's focusing more on defense and not necessarily just trying to steal the basketball," Anderson said.
"Also, he's having a better understanding of what I want him to do: to trust his teammates. He can score. But the greatest players in basketball are guys who distribute the ball, make the great pass. So he's learning to trust his teammates."

Freshmen guards Kelly Kohn and LaChelda jacobs provided much of the jayhawks' offense during the first few games of the season.
The two guards have not done much since.
Kohn's last 20 point effort was on Jan. 13. Since that game, she has averaged a little over five points per game on 8 for 36 shooting.
Jacobs has not scored in doublefigures since Jan. 6 and has been inconsistent on the defensive end. Since that date, Jacobs has 15 turnovers and only 12 points.
"We've been very undisciplined."
Henrickson said. "We bit our
selves and wasted a lot of possessions."
Kansas' youth could be exploited by a Texas Tech team that starts three seniors. The Lady Raiders savvy upperclassmen are all major contributors on the defensive end, and could make for a long night for the turnover-prone Jayhawks.
Texas Tech's biggest problem on offense is shooting the basketball. Forward Alesha Robertson is the Lady Raiders' leading scorer, with 13.3 points per game, but has made only 37 percent of her field-goal attempts. As a team, Texas Tech is shooting just a shade more than 40
percent for the season.
The key to tonight's game could be the pace of play.
Edited by James Pinick
Kansas will need to slow the game down and force Texas Tech to try to create shots in their half-court offense. If the Lady Raiders manage to speed up the pace and create turnovers, the Jayhawks could find themselves in the loss column once again.
Kansan sportswriter Asher Fusco can be contacted at afusco@kansan.com.
WOMEN'S BASKETBALL PREVIEW
KANSAS VS. TEXAS TECH 7 TONIGHT ALLEN FIELDHOUSE
Offense:
The Lady Raiders have one thing on offense that the Jayhawks lack: consistency. Averaging 16 points in the last four games, senior guard Shaquina Mosley has emerged as Kansas' go to scorer. Another top contributor, however, has been erratic and difficult to predict from game to game. For example, freshman guard Kelly Kohn followed a 13-point performance at Kansas State with only two points at Nebraska. Against the Cornhuskers, junior forward Taylor Mcintosh exploded for a career-high 16 points. She is only averaging 5.4 points per game this year. Alesha Robertson, Chesley Dabbs and Patrice Edwards are all averaging double digits in conference play for Texas Tech. Fans looking for offense may not find it Wednesday at Allen Fieldhouse. Kansas is only shooting 37 percent from the field in Big 12 Conference play. Texas Tech's numbers aren't much better; it is shooting 39 percent. The Lady Raiders also average five more points per game than the Jayhawks.
Defense:
Advantage:
Kansas may be last in the Big 12 at 0-7, but it undoubtedly has one of the best perimeter defenses in the conference. In each of the last three games, the Jayhawks have faced a dominant guard and each time forced her to score below her season average. The only problem is Texas Tech doesn't have an outstanding guard and relies on strong post play. The Lady Raiders will pass it inside in an attempt to create easy points for Robertson and Edwards. Kansas freshman forward Porscha Weddington is averaging eight rebounds in the last three games, which is limiting opponents' second-chance points. She will have to do more than just rebound against the Lady Raiders, though, Texas Tech has one defensive standout. Erin Myrick has 42 blocks on the season, only eight fewer than the Jayhawks have as a team. Unless the Lady Raiders change their offensive philosophy to attempt more three-pointers, they have a decisive edge against the Jayhawks.
T
Momentum:
The Jayhawks are returning home after two straight conference road games. The young team should be excited to play in front of its own crowd. Texas Tech is coming off an overtime loss to sixth-ranked Oklahoma and a 49-43 victory against Texas. The Lady Raiders are only 2-6 on the road this season but have to feel relieved when looking at the next two teams they will face away from home. After Kansas on Wednesday, Texas Tech will travel to Boulder to take on Colorado. The Jayhawks and the Buffaloes are the cellar dwellers of oak Big 12 at a combined 2-12 record. The Lady Raiders will look at the road trip as an opportunity to reverse their poor play and improve their 4-3 conference record.
