BY BRIAN LEWIS-JONES The donation could potentially raise the number of students who have studied abroad from one in-four to one-in-two within the next 1 five years. Larry D. Horner and his wife, Donna Manning Horner, gave half a million dollars to the University for study abroad scholarships. PETER PARKER Horner Susan Gronbeck-Tedesco, director of the Office of Study Abroad, said the money would be invested and the interest would go toward study abroad scholarships, helping both graduate and undergraduate students study abroad for years to come. Steven Groene, Salina sophomore, applied for a scholarship through the Office of Study Abroad this week. Groene plans to study in Dakar, Senegal next semester. He said the cost of study abroad was a slight concern at first because of slightly higher tuition and excluded costs, such as airfare and a passport. "There's a myth in higher education that if you study abroad, you'll have to stay longer," she said. "That's simply not true." She said both the cost and time commitment involved with study abroad deterred many students from even applying for the program. "It was amazing how many things I hadn't initially budgeted for, like health insurance," he said. "However, I went back to my parents and we renegotiated their and my own contributions and found a way to make it work." Currently, the Office of Study Abroad gives $60,000 per year in scholarships, Gronbeck Tedesco said. The Horners' donation will increase this amount to $90,000. Gronbeck Tedescho said most study abroad donations, which typically range from $25 to $1,000, come from alumni who have studied overseas.

Photo illustration by Anna Faltermier/KANSAN Local bars deal with thefts ranging from key shells to mixing spoons. According to Ebony Simon, a bartender at Louise's Bar Downtown common hot items i Students gain at bars' expense BY ERICK R. SCHMIDT Ebony Simon knows how to spot a small-time crook in his bar. He's got an eye for it. "If you've got a bulge on your way out that you didn't have when you got there, you probably stole something," Simon said. Simon is a bartender and doorman at Louise's Bar Downtown, 1009 Massachusetts St. Like many of his peers, he has grown accustomed to customers trying to get away with theft — petty and otherwise. An employee at The Hawk, 1340 Ohio St., reported the theft of ten keg Bartenders, doormen watch crowds to keep patrons from taking souvenirs shells from the bar last week, but bartenders said most bar burglaries were on a smaller scale. Simon, for example said he only knew of one incident when people tried to steal keg shells, but they were caught by a doorman. He said the most common objects of attention at Louise's were the bar's trademark Schooner glasses. Sometimes people try to walk out of the bar holding the glasses, with beer still in them. Other items that frequently go missing include tip jars, shot glasses and other things that patrons think will look cool in their houses. "Everybody and their mother wants a Schooner." Simon said. Danny Loentel, bartender at The Sandbar, 17 E. 8th St., said the fastest disappearing items at his bar were Guinness spoons, which are used for mixing Black and Tan beers. Loentel said the spoons only cost a few dollars, but it was annoying when they went missing. "We had one, it got stolen, so we got a new one. It got stolen." I tentled with a sigh. "I guess it's a cool little trick, to save that you stole it." Loentel could only laugh at the second-most commonly "stolen" item; glasses that the bar gives away as part of its Bahama Mama promotion. He said he commonly saw people try to sneak away with the decorated glasses, even though they SEE HAWK ON PAGE 5A POLITICS Strategists debate role of primaries BY TYLER HARBERT Lightning outside didn't stop a political thunderstorm inside the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics Wednesday evening during the final installation of the 2007 Presidential Lecture Series. David Yepsen, a political columnist for the Des Moines Register, was joined by Tom Rath, a republican political strategist, and Jonathan Epstein, a democratic political strategist, in a panel discussion called, "Winning the Nomination." The panel focused on the Iowa presidential caucus and the New Hampshire presidential primary. Dole Institute director Bill Lacy mediated the discussion. Yepsen joked with the crowd of more than 100 people about the one reason why the Iowa caucus continues to be a key battleground for presidential candidates. "Uh, they're first," he said. Rath tried to steal some of Yepsen's thunder when he was asked what was so unique about the New Hampshire primary. "It was first," Rath said. Yepsen said Iowa and New Hampshire fought back and forth beginning in the early 1970s about which state got to be the initial hot spot for deciding which candidates would advance in their parties and which ones would be left scrambling for their parties' bid for presidential candidate. He said the two states made a deal in 1983 that would designate Iowa as home of the first caucus and New Hampshire home of the first SEE STRATEGY ON PAGE 5A >> STUDENT SUCCESS Web site urges students to avoid late-night studying BY DANAE DESHAZER Students who procrastinate, stay up cramming or study for long blocks of time, are engaging in study behavior that is more harmful than helpful, said R. L. Kaplan, creator of Smart-Kit.com. Kaplan, a board-certified neurologist, created the Web site in 2006 to offer students an understanding of how their minds work in relation to their study habits. "The whole goal of the Web site is to present helpful information for Studies on the Web site show that if students go without sleep for 19 or more hours at a time, their brains operate at a .1 percent blood alcohol content. The legal driving limit is .08 in Kansas. Instead of pulling an all-nighter to study before a big test, students might as well hit the bars. students to use their brains more effectively and efficiently so that they can get better grades." Kaplan said. Many students stay up cramming the night before a big test. Some use caffeine and prescription drugs to stay attentive and awake during studying. Kaplan said drugs like Adderall and Ritalin had negative effects on students who were using them without a prescription. Exercising for 30 minutes is an effective way to mimic the positive effects of these drugs, such as improved focus and memory, he said. John Wade, staff psychologist at KU Clinical and Psychological Services, said bad study habits were especially prevalent during midterm and finals times. Wade said more time and energy was used to help students stay awake Wade all students needed an adequate amount of sleep or their when pulling an all-nighter than was used to help them retain information. Psychologically, students became emotionally depleted. "When a baby needs sleep, the impact on the mood is very visible and small things become very frustrating." Wade said. "When we're adults, we're not going to do it at the same level, but the same basic principle applies."

KINNAM BY CHELSEA MAGRUDER Who Tim Miller, professor or religious studies, Bachelor of Arts in classics, doctorate in American studies How long have you been at the University?: If you count attending as a student, 40 years, but if you are counting years teaching it is 30 years. What attracted you to reli- gion2? It is an interesting thing because it is a universal activity that everybody in the world takes some part in. It is a way in which people try and make sense of things in their life. What types of hobbies do you have? I write a column in *The Lawrencian*. I write about local politics, local affairs and about almost anything I care to write about. If you could be any religious figure who would you be? Why? I would have to say the Dali Lama. He fully embodies his religious outlook on life. Not to mention he is a good human being. Who is your hero or your idol? I have a lot of people who I look up to and who have inspired me throughout my career. J. Gordon Melton from Santa Barbara was very influential to me because he pointed me in good directions. I also admire Eileen Barker a sociologist from the London School of Economics because of the way she looks at things and writes about them. What religion do you find most fascinating? I like any religion that embodies both belief and practice. If I had to pick one though, I would pick Quaker. Quakers embody tolerant beliefs and they actually strive to make the world a better place to be. What would you do if you won the Powerball? I wouldn't quit my job or anything. I love teaching and I'm going to retire soon anyway. What is the most interesting place you have been?: China during 1978 was probably my most interesting travel destination. I visited there when the United States had no diplomatic affiliations with China. The people there were very warm and welcoming though. The only weird part was that a lot of people stared at me because they weren't use to westerners. It was an odd feeling to be have everyone looking at you. What are your thoughts on creationism in Kansas schools? I don't believe it should be taught as an alternative theory to science because it is not a science. I have no problem with it being taught as a social studies course, but there is no reason for it to be taught as a science. Edited by Mark Vierthaler Tee time I'll just go with the first one.

In the instance of an officer being called to a house, Ward said students should cooperate. commission meetings and several neighborhood association meetings. "It's an effort to open up the lines of communication between the police department and the citizens of Lawrence," said Sgt. Dan Ward, who oversees the program. While officers in attendance of city commission meetings has not been ordinary in the past, Mayor Mike Amyx said he enjoyed having the officers present, "I think it's gone very well. I feel very comfortable with them there." Amyx said, "I think folks are getting the opportunity to talk to them, and that's a good thing to have." "They should realize the officer has no option but to issue a citation if there has been an earlier warning issued at that address." Ward said. The city took a harsher stance on noise violations at the beginning of 2006, including the creation of a stricter "nuisance" ordinance that punished repeat offenders. DAN WARD Lawrence Police Sergeant Ward said the program Ward said the increase in enforcement led to a 12 percent decrease in the amount of reported violations in 2006, and that the resource officer program was the next logical step. Ward said the officers would review convictions on a monthly basis and send violators to City Hall for possible additional penalties. Ward said the easiest way for students to keep the officers off their had been well-received in its initial months of existence. Not all duties of the resource officers are focused on noise complaints. When the city saw a trend of vehicle burglaries outside of workout facilities in January, the officers provided all gyms with fliers. Ward said they hadn't seen any related problems since then. "People are happy to have a person within the police department they can contact with a problem," Ward said. "Before, they had problems they thought maybe were too small. Now no problem is too small." Kansan staff writer Erick R. Schmidt can be contacted at eschmidt@kansan.com. Edited by Mark Vierthaler University asks for students' opinions >> ADMINISTRATION University of Kansas students who received an electronic survey last week should not be too quick to send it to the recycle bin. They have a chance to give the University a piece of their minds. Adrienne Sadovsky, an analyst for institutional research and planning, said the National Survey of Student Engagement was recently sent to 4,000 randomly selected University freshmen and seniors. The survey, which asks students about academic personal experiences, is aimed to help the University improve the undergraduate services it provides. "We want for them to not just walk away with a degree," Sadovsky said. "We want them to walk away with a rich, thorough, deep experience." Sadovsky said the survey would help the University identify strengths and weaknesses in its programs so it could take action toward improvement. She said it was a quick and easy way students could give back to the KU community. Illian Kinzie, associate director of Indiana University's center for postsecondary research, the institution in charge of the survey, said student responses would help the University. "The institution is getting direct information from you." Kinzie said. Lynn Britz, University of Kansas spokeswoman, said that results from past surveys had helped produce the University's global awareness program, undergraduate research certification and service learning certification, which she said helped students get engaged in their studies. "We realized from what we were learning from the students that programs like these energized the students and kept them involved in their schoolwork." Bretz said. "It's really making us reassess the whole freshmen experience" Kinzie said she thought the University was a place that took student responses seriously. She said she had been to the University several times to evaluate how it involved students in decision-making, because students had identified that as a strength in previous surveys. "I think KU does a good job of seeking student input that matters to the institution." Kinzie said. Bretz said it was a mutual exchange. "It's been, really, a two-way street," Bretz said. "Students working with us and us working with students to develop these programs." Sadovsky said this was the third time the University had commissioned the survey. She said the survey was first given in 2001, and again in 2004. Sadovsky said the 2004 data took about 3 1/2 months to process, but was not sure when the 2007 data would be ready. Sadovsky said interested students, including those not selected for the survey, could see the survey online at http://nsee.iub.edu/pdf/NSE2007_US_English_paper.pdf "We want our students to be well-rounded and exposed to myriad new situations and experiences," Sadovsky said.

Most of the lost "post-paid" customers came from the Nextel side, which has been struggling with network quality issues. Nextel's subscribers are especially valuable because many of them are business users with higher monthly bills. The company, based in Reston, Va., with operational headquarters in Overland Park, reported earning $261 million, or 9 cents per share, during the October-December period, compared with $195 million, or 7 cents per share, a year earlier. The company's customer base grew by 742,000 customers during the quarter, ending the year at 53.1 million. But that number reflected gains in less valuable "pay as-you-go" customers, whereas monthly subscribers, who tend to generate ASSOCIATED PRESS Sprint Next Corp, a wireless carrier with headquarters in Overland Park, has increased revenue this quarter, but lost most of its valuable, high-quality customers. Chief Executive Gary Forsee told analysts in a conference call that the company has invested heavily in the Nextel network to avoid dropped calls and poor signal quality. Sprint Nextel also is attempting to weed out low-quality customers through tougher credit requirements. Chief Financial Officer Paul Saleh said that would continue to hamstring growth in the first quarter, but that he expected post-paid customer numbers to begin rising in the second quarter. The company first warned of disappointing subscriber numbers in January, adding that it planned to cut 5,000 jobs. Forsee said he expected most of those cuts to be completed by April 1, saving the company $400 million annually. Average revenue per post-paid user declined during the quarter to $60.

See Kansan.com for more opinions and Free for All comments THURSDAY, MARCH 1, 2007 WWW.KANSAN.COM THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN OPINION PAGE 4A 》 OUR VIEW Follow celebrity lead and volunteer As of 2005 Oprah has donated an estimated $253 million out of her own pocket, nearly 20 percent of her net worth. Most students can't fathom 253 million of anything; textbooks purchases, 253 million pot holes...nothing. While this donation is commendable, other celebrities making that kind of money should use their fame and fortune to give back to others. We should expect rock stars, athletes and actors to be socially accountable. Not all celebrities can be Bonos or Oprah, but they can all do something. Even if they're only donating time, fame and money for appearances, at least they are donating. Backing a good cause always offers more of a reason to admire that person. Perhaps backing Angelina Jolie for her work with the United Nations' High Commission for Refugees can rub off and inspire not only a new hairstyle, but also a giving mood. The average KU student can't donate $253 million, nor can the average American, but we can donate our time. For those hardcore do-gooders there's the Peace Corps. For those that care just as much but aren't able to commit that kind of time. Lawrence has many local philanthropy groups for students to volunteer. You may not be a Super Bowl XLI champion like Tony Dungy, but you can volunteer as a mentor for Big Brothers Big Sisters, Dungy's choice philanthropy project. Here in Lawrence (785-843-7559) the Big Brothers Big Sisters Organization is always looking for volunteers to be a positive role model in the lives of kids. Most of us won't have a television career like Zach Braff, but we can donate blood or clothing to the American Red Cross, his choice charity. The local branch of the American Red Cross (785-843-3550) always needs assistance in any form. While most of us cannot control our income, we can control our legacy. We can't choose what problems plague our world, or even our neighborhoods, but we can choose to do something about them. We may not have the bling, or the private jet, but comparatively, we can do just as much good as our favorite celebrities do, or should. — Tasha Riggins for the editorial board. COMMENTARY Newspapers changing to lighter Internet content 》 M. B. MORRIS The printed newspaper, whats good about it these days? Its the preferred method of fish wrapping, and it can function as the poor man's wrapping paper. But when it comes BY BRANDON MINSTER KANSAN COLUMNIST OPINION@KANSAN.COM to getting up-to-date information the printed newspaper is, as the kids say these days, broke and busted. Internet news is the new hotness. In today's action-packed world, up to-the-minute news reports are a necessity. Just the other day Britney Spears checked into and then back out of rehab before the printed newspaper could be bothered to get my fingers inky. As any talk show pundit will yell at you, the American economy has entered the Information Age, meaning pornography is more valuable than ever before. Plans to list Internet porn providers on the NASDAQ were scrapped when it became apparent there was no computer powerful enough to handle the trading volume expected. The Internet has at least a dozen non-porn related uses, and one of them is news. Even the University Daily Kansan has a Web site, where my disturbing black-and white mug shot is rendered in all its grotesque full-color glory. Of course, the proliferation of Internet news sites has led to a new, looser definition of news I've seen summaries of "American Idol" "Lost" and "Desperate Housewives" presented as news. I've seen analysis of a hypothetical presidential election match up between Barrack Obama and Megatron, even though the election is 20 months away and Megatron isn't even constitutionally eligible, as he is a native of Cybertron. News agencies are not in business to lose money. Like any other industry, they see something that sells and they market it to death. Right now what sells is "news lite," a brand of information that fills the head without requiring any actual thinking. Why read what presidential candidates have to say about issues when you can read what Jay Leno and David Letterman have to say about presidential candidates? In the Information Age the following qualifies as news: George W. Bush is stupid. Hillary Clinton is a woman Barrack Obama is black Iraq is Vietnam. Britney Spears is bald Gasoline is expensive. I could go on all day writing tomorrow's news headlines, but I've got more pressing concerns. I found an "Amazing Race" article with a discussion section and I want to post a bunch of uninformed opinions. Then I'll do some serious research on an Internet news site that summarizes the platforms of the Deception and Autobot parties. In this election, my future is at stake.

I thought it would have sort of a mystical, Bohemian atmosphere where BY JENNY HARTZ creative individuals could search for truth and change the world one work at a time. However, when I found out it was actually a center for students to go to get advice and help with papers, I thought, "Oh well, I need not to go there. I write English good." Although I may be a strong English student, that doesn't mean the writing center can't be helpful to me. It is open to all students who should all take advantage of this free service. BY JENNY HARTZ KANSAN COLUMNIST OPINION@KANSAN.COM The center helps students focus on the writing process from all aspects ranging from brainstorming, to revising to banging your head on the wall in frustration. You can go in with just your assignment sheet and blank brain and the writing center can help you. I should probably define what I mean by help. I'm currently enrolled in the class you take to become a writing consultant, and I was surprised at what the role of a writing tutor really entails. We've discovered the tutors' main focus to help produce better writers, not better writing. The tutors are not there to do the work for you. They are not grammar Nazis who will take a pen and shoot down all your imperfect punctuation marks leaving your paper to earn an 'A' They will, however, show you techniques you can use to help your ideas flow better. They can teach you how to fix your mistakes and ask you a lot of questions which might get you thinking in a new way, or just thinking in general. The center not only teaches how to write, but it can be a good place to have someone take a fresh look at your paper and get critical feedback. Although a writing consultant probably doesn't understand quantum physics (who does?) they can still read your lab report and tell you if it makes sense. In fact, having someone who doesn't know what you're writing about can help because if they come out of your paper completely understanding what's going on, then you've written a great paper. If he or she doesn't understand, you now know you need to make your points clearer. The main writing center is on the fourth floor of Wescoe; yet there are many places on campus called Writer's Roosts. To find the center nearest you, go to www.writingku.edu. Remember, going to the writing center doesn't mean you are accepting defeat and admitting you're a bad writer. Collaboration is a key element to writing. You're being a smart writer by using your resources. It's the "write" thing to do. Hartz is a sophomore in creative writing.

EDITORIAL BOARD Gabrielle Suzua, Nicole Kelley, Patrick Ross, Courtney Hagen, Natalie Johnson, Alison Kieler, Tasha Riggins and McKay Stangler 1 --- THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN NEWS 5A >> STUDENT UNION ACTIVITIES Casino flavorings draw students to Jazz Night BY BETHANY BUNCH The Kansas Ballroom was all jazzed up Wednesday night as students played casino-style games, munched on hors doeuvres and listened to live jazz music in a dimly lit room. Last night was the first "jazz Gala," presented by Student Union Activities. Tanner Burns, Wichita junior, and SUAs live music coordinator, said he wanted the event to become an annual affair. "It was really fun. Especially to beat Jennifer." Osborne said of a friend of hers. Students crowded around roulette, craps and Texas Hold'em tables. Guests were given $1,100 in poker chips as they arrived. At the end of the evening, students with the most chips were given prizes. Burns said the first place winner received tickets to "Ada," a broadway musical coming to the Led Center in mid April. The second place winner got a gift certificate for free dance lessons from a local dance studio. Mollie Osborne, Tonganoxie freshman, even learned how to play craps at the event. SUAs Web site said jazz "is one genre of music that does not get enough play in the Lawrence area," and that they planned the event to give jazz a venue. The soulful style of local band Afro-Jazz Experiment played and sang to set the mood. Afro-Jazz Experiment is made up of a drummer, guitarist, bass guitarist or cellist and a trumpet player who doubles as singer. "This is a little less than we were expecting." Burns said. "But the weather was bad and this is the first year for the event." Amy Bradshaw, Lawrence freshman, was in the union to watch "Little Miss Sunshine," but followed her ears into the ballroom. "Anyone who plays this well is worth listening to." Bradshaw said. Kansan staff writer Bethany Bunch can be contacted at bbunchek kansan.com. Burns said SUA began planning the event in November.

The panel of experts on presidential primaries wrapped up this year's Presidential Lecture Series. primary. "New Hampshire tells you what the score is and it tells you very early" he said. Rath, who is the former attorney general of New Hampshire, said the two campaign battlegrounds are important because the press continually tries to cover presidential elections much like it does a baseball game. Yepson said that no candidate who had ever placed lower than third in an Iowa caucus had gone on to win his party's ticket. Epstein said he remembered working for John Kerry's campaign in 2004 when he and other campaign workers made thousands of calls a night to voters in Iowa, trying to establish relationships with them. "We tried to build as large a net as possible." Epstein said. The panelists also discussed what they called the compression of the presidential election calendar. Because "New Hampshire tells you what the score is and it tells you very early." TOM RATH Republican political strategist Another topic was the amount of money presidential hopefuls need to even get their campaigns in motion Yepsen and Epstein estimated it will take $20 million to even enter and have a chance in the presidential race this year, while Rath said he thinks it would take more than $60 million to have a shot at winning the White House. Contact JoAnna Giffin at 816-501-3601 for more information. MBA@Avila.edu Governor Kathleen Sebelius attended the discussion. She said she has known Rath for 40 years and her son once worked with Epstein on a campaign. Kansan staff writer Tyler Harbert can be contacted at tharbert@ kansan.com.

After graduation, he worked as the chief executive officer for an international auditing, tax and advisory service. He also served on the board of directors for ConocoPhillips. Birch said he came to the University in 2004 as an international executive in residence. He spoke with students about escalating gas prices and the importance of China as a market for US business.

No other Fox show has ever held so much of the "American Idol" audience, the network said. NEW YORK — Fox may have found a family-friendly hit to accompany "American Idol" after its new game "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader" debuted to record numbers on Tuesday. HAWK The show was seen by 26.5 million viewers, making it the most watched series debut in Fox network history and the most popular debut of any series since 1998, according to Nielsen Media Research. It's an almost irresistible television concept: quizzing adults on knowledge found in elementary-school textbooks, with real-life fifth graders standing by to offer help and serve up embarrassment. Fox is airing the game directly after television's biggest hit, "American Idol," on three days this week. It will settle March 15 into a more difficult time slot, thursdays at 8 p.m. ET. That will force series creator Mark Burnett to compete against himself, since Burnett's show "Survivor" airs on CBS at the same time. were included in the price of the drink.

ROLLING ```>> K-STATE BASKETBALL School bans chickens at games Use of live props to mock Jayhawk mascot alarms activists ASSOCIATED PRESS MANHATTAN - The Kansas State athletic department issued an open letter to fans this week after an animal rights group objected to mistreatment of chickens at a basketball game. For years, Kansas State students have has smuggled live chickens into games against Kansas, then thrown them onto the court and behind the opposing bench before tip-off. The students intend for the chickens to mock their rival's jayhawk mascot. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals responded to the latest incident during a game Feb. 19 by sending a letter to university president Jon Whelad, claiming at least three chickens were thrown on the court during player introductions. The letter described chickens as "very intelligent and inquisitive animals" that appeared to have been subjected to "deafening noise, bright lights, terror, abusive handling and likely death for the sake of amusement." Kansas State University has said it would not comment on the complaint, but the athletic department issued a statement Tuesday saying it considers live, non-service animals "contraband." NASA Any fans caught with animals or caught throwing any object onto a playing surface will be ejected from the game and could face prosecution. "These actions severely tarnish the image of our University, its athletics teams and the majority of our outstanding fans and supporters and while viewed by many as harmless pranks, these acts are likely illegal," the letter said. The act hasn't done much to will the Wildcats to victory. The Jayhawks beat Kansas State 71-62, running their overall winning streak in Manhattan to 24 games.

Lawmakers gave the space agency the same amount of money it received in 2006.

The craft, called the Orion, won't fly until early 2015, tour to six months later than planned, NASA administrator Michael Griffin told lawmakers. The delay is the result of a $545 That's more time the U.S. will go without any manned spaceflight capability— the Space Shuttle is slated for retirement in 2010: KANSANCLASSIFIEDS Griffin said the gap between the shuttle's retirement and Orion's debut raises practical and strategic concerns. "When you don't fly for four or more years, people become stale ... facilities degrade. It's not a good thing," he said. "Our human space-flight expertise will be depleted to a certain extent." The Orion is the ship designed to carry astronauts to the moon and later to Mars. Bush called for a return to the moon by 2020.

That's what happened when football was king and every other sport groveled at its feet. THE UNIVERSITY DAIRY KANSAN THURSDAY MARCH 1, 2007 FOOTBALL (CONTINUED FROM 12A) Becoming good at both sports wasn't easy, but the two schools have done it by following similar steps. EMERGING GIANTS EMERGENCY GIANTS Friday night lights only used to shine for football in Texas. For years, any ball that wasn't shaped like a cone was thrown out into the desert landscape. This obsession with football and near alienation of basketball hurt Texas and Texas A&M. Native Texans such as Larry Johnson, Mike Dunleave, Mookie Blaylock and Grant Holley barely gave "A really good football program can be a detraction in building a basketball program," said Jeff Schmahl, Texas A&M's associate athletics director. "Football could be too much of a focus. At the big time basketball schools like Kentucky, Kansas, North Carolina and Duke, the focus is on the basketball team." Instead of focusing on the negative of an overbearing football pro 10.2023 THINKING OF GOING TO LAW SCHOOL? gram, Texas and Texas A&M used their teams' power to benefit basketball. Be Prepared! Enroll in KU Continuing Education's new Course begins April 22! Save $100 Register by April 16 Both schools have one of the best football atmospheres in the country. More than 82,000 fans flock to Kyle Field for each A&M home game. With the cheapest season tickets going for $375, the Aggies take in some serious revenue. Same with the Longhorns. Darrell K. Royal Texas Memorial Stadium attracts $5,000 people to each game, and new renovations will raise its capacity to 90,000. The cheapest season tickets go for $365. LSAT Test Prep Course. A&M and Texas have started using more of the money their football teams bring in to finance other sports, namely basketball. Texas' associate athletics director Christine Klonsky said everything at the Erwin Center, the Longhorns' basketball arena, was sparkling new. Texas also recently built Cooley Pavilion, a $12 million dollar basketball practice facility. KU CONTINUING EDUCATION The University of Kansas Those atmosphere can also entice recruits. Both schools regularly bring recruits to football games, and it has helped. In-state stars such as TJ. Ford and Acie Law IV chose Texas and Texas A&M, respectively. None of this could be possible without football. For complete information or to register, visit www.ContinuingEd ku edu or call 785-864-5823 "Football has a significant impact on the entire operation of athletics," Klonsky said. "It's the engine that drives the train." At Kansas, it has been the exact opposite. Basketball has been the school's main source of pride and revenue. Ohio State, Texas and Texas A&M have shown that football schools can become successful at basketball, but can a good basketball school sustain a football program capable of winning the Big 12? VICE-VERSA The Jayhawk football program has been somewhat revived in recent years. Kansas has been to two bowl games in Mark Mangino's first five seasons. That's an accomplishment compared to what fans witnessed during former coach Terry Allen's reign of terror, but the Jayhawks aren't competing for Big 12 titles like the Longhorn and Aggie basketball teams. The Athletics Department has tried to emphasize football, knowing that having a strong football program is great for the rest of the university. "A good football program helps all other sports and the university at large," Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony said. "It's a rallying point for alumni and fans and publicizes the athletics department and university." To strengthen football, Kansas plans to build a new practice facility, which will be completed in late summer 2008. The athletics department also inked Mangino to a new five-year contract last fall. Texas coach Rick Barnes has been at the school for nine years. He's led the Longhorns to the NCAA Tournament each season, made it to the school's third Final Four and advanced to the Sweet 16 four of the last five seasons. Allen Fieldhouse may be sold out for every game, but it doesn't bring in nearly as much revenue as a game at Kyle Field. Plus, Kansas is fighting history. Other historical basketball schools such as Duke, North Carolina, UCLA and Kentucky haven't been able to sustain success in football either. But turning a basketball school into a football school is tougher. A successful basketball team is about more than just extravagant new facilities. When asked why their basketball teams are on the rise, Klonsky and Schmnball both quickly said it was their teams' coaches. So until the Jayhawks can compete for conference titles in both sports, all Kansas can do is look at a school such as Ohio State to know that having success in football and basketball is more than a dream. Hof said, "We're living proof that it's a positive rather than a negative to have a traditionally powerful program." KEEPING THE STRENGTH Barnes has accomplished quite a bit, but A&M coach Billy Gillspis has been a miracle worker. He's guided the Aggies to the top of the Big 12 in his third season. The year before he came, A&M finished 0-16 in league play. He single-handedly "Rick came in and told us immediately our facilities were nice but weren't what he needed for teaching and training his sport." Clonsky said. "He knew what he wanted, so he taught us." Now, colleges are finding ways to hold onto their coaches. The goal for the Athletics Departments at A&M and Texas is to create a perfect situation for their coach. That way, he wouldn't find a more attractive place to go. thrown out the Aggies' reputation as a football only school. "From the outside looking in, it's been erased," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "With Texas being a football state, maybe it'll never catch it as far as interest and tradition with the football jeam. But there's no coach in America who thinks A&M is only a football program." Schools known for football used to have trouble holding onto their coaches. As soon as one had success, hed bolt for a place that cared more about basketball. Lon Kruger jumped ship at Florida to go to Illinois. Leonard Hamilton said goodbye to Miami and hello to the NBA. Texas has accommodated Barnes in every way possible. That's how Texas got the idea of building Cookey Pavilion. It has been so successful that athletic directors from UCLA, Kentucky, Tennessee and, surprise surprise, Texas A&M have visited to get ideas for building their own facilities.

Giddens, Omar Wilkes and Nick Bahe should be giving their senior speeches at Allen Fieldhouse. But Padgett got his feelings hurt, Giddens went and got stabbed, Wilkes got homesick and Bahe wanted to trade his cheerleading role for playing time. Their departures have been a blessing in disguise — sort of. BY C.J MOORE BY C.J. MOORE If Padgett stayed, C.J. Giles would have been somebody else's headache — there's the 'sort of' part of the equation. With Padgett, Darrell Arthur would probably be a Baylor Bear. Remember Arthur had a dream that he was a Jayhawk, but he would have woken up and realized Self was all out of scholarships had Padgett stayed. KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST CJMOORE@KANSAN.COM If Giddens had stayed, there wouldn't have been a roster spot for Brandon Rush and hed either be at Mizzou or Indiana. If Wilkes didn't get homesick, either Russell Robinson or Mario Chalmers would probably be playing elsewhere. And if Bahe stayed, hed still be giving high fives. His departure didn't affect much. Padgett's transfer was the one head-scratcher of the group. He had a starting spot waiting for him his sophomore season and probably would have been a focal point of Bill Self's high-low offense. But you had to kind of feel for the guy. He made the mistake of arriving on campus a year after Nick Collison left. He was immediately anointed the next Great White Hope. But beyond needing to duck when he entered a room, Padgett resembled Collison as much as George W. Bush resembles Bill Clinton as a president. KU students alienated Padgett his freshman season by filling the free-for all with Padgett bashing. He became the anti-Chuck Norris. Even though he had a decent season for a freshman with no athletic ability - 6.5 points per game and 4.5 rebounds - he wasn't Collson. Padgett was in the good graces of KU fans for about a day or two after his line drive buzzer-beating jumper beat the Tigers in Columbia. Then, fans again realized he wasn't Collison and went back to bashing. It didn't help his cause that Papa Padgett was back in Reno crying about the way Self used the big man. Self put Padgett at the top of his high-low offense, which utilized the big man's best attribute, his ability to knock down the 18-footer. But Papa Padgett became convinced that his lumbering 6-foot-11 son should be playing on the perimeter. Padgett transferred to Louisville thinking that he would get the chance to show his perimeter skills He was even once listed as a small forward in a preview of the college basketball season. Not surprisingly, when he hasn't been injured, Padgett has spent his time playing center for the Cardinals. Giddens' career started with such promise. He helped the Jayhawks advance to the Elite Eight his freshman season and almost sent the Jayhawks to their third- straight Final Four when he made a three-pointer that sent the Georgia Tech game to overtime. But then Giddens' head got as big as Barry Bonds. He obviously didn't spend much time working on his game between his freshmen and sophomore seasons and his one strength, three-point shooting, turned into a weakness. He still couldn't dribble and he became a turnover machine because of his insistence on jumping in the air to pass the ball (usually to the other team). Even though he only made 33.7 percent of his three-pointers his sophomore season, Giddens kept jacking up shots and became the first Kansas player in recent memory to be booed by the home crowd. Then Giddens went and got stabbed All indications are that he provoked the stabbing. It still didn't make it right but the fact that he put himself in that situation made it so Self had to cut ties. It's one of the best decisions Self ever made. Giddens was recently suspended indetinitely by coach Ritchie McKay at New Mexico. Had Self kept Giddens, he probably would have been a cancer on this year's team that seems to get along with each other so well. Wilkes would have never hurt the layhawks. He would have been a nice role player off the bench with a positive attitude. But he wanted to be more than a role player and wanted to be close to home and he's gotten that at California, where he's been a starter the past two seasons. If the four former layhawks had stuck around, the layhawks roster would look a lot different. And instead of playing this Saturday for the Big 12 title and the chance at No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament, the layhawks would probably be trying to fight off K-State for third place in the conference standings.

Senior Eetisha Riddle is fifth in the Big 12 in scoring at just over 16 points per game and eighth in field goal percentage at 51 percent. --savor the ONLY Authentic European Spanish Cuisine in Lawrence at Momentum: On the surface, neither of these teams have much to play for. The Tigers and the Jayhawks both have cemented themselves at the bottom of the Big 12 going into the conference tournament. But there's still plenty of motivation for the rivals to feed off of in this Border Showdown. Buy one appetizer, get the 2nd 1/2 price when you mention ad! Advantage: There's a chance that senior guard Shaquina Mosley will be unable to play Thursday. Mosley is still recovering from a concussion sustained Saturday in a game against Colorado. If Mosley is forced to watch the game from the bench, the Jayhawks are going to be in trouble. In the month of February Kansas has gone 3-3 riding the shoulders of Mosley. In that time span, she is averaging nearly 14 points per game and has hit two buzzer-beaters. both of these teams have shown flashes of brilliance on the defensive end, but haven't been able to sustain it for the length of the season. Kansas is ranked 11th in opponent field goal percentage and 10th in rebounding defense. The Jayhawks glaring weakness has been in the frontcourt. Without an imposing presence in the post, Kansas is last in rebounding margin in the Big 12. Kansas will have revenge on its mind. The loss to Missouri earlier in Advantage: Riddle and Savant each are averaging nearly eight rebounds a game. But don't get the wrong impression, just because Missouri can rebound doesn't mean it can play defense. The Tigers are last in opponent field goal percentage and in the bottom half of the conference in steals and blocked shots. Olé Tapas guu the season snapped a two-game winning streak. The 10-point loss was one of the Jayhawks weaker performances of the year. Winning two of their last three, the Tigers seem to finally be bringing it all together to end the season.

My roommate tells me Kansas fans wearing multiple colors is a good thing, and something that should be encouraged. I am respect the idea of originality, but I think it's somewhat hypocritical to cry for originality when fans spend most of the game clapping in unison, cheering in unison, standing and sitting in unison and then conclude the game by saying the Rock Chalk chant in unison Imagine that for a minute: everyone saying the Rock Chalk chant either with different words or starting at different times. The effect of the Rock Chalk chant would be dramatically lessened. Wearing similar colors does the same thing. There's no reason for the Athletics Department to develop a flash video advocating a blackout, like K.State. There's no reason for the Athletics Department to put BLUEOUT on the schedule it maintains on its Web site, like Missouri. What's important is that fans of the Kansas Jayhawks buy in to the notion of making their presence known to opposing players. Wearing a consistent color is one way to do that. I suppose it's also worth noting that — unlike the chatter I've seen on message boards — my call for color uniformity is not in response to any experience. Rather, it's based on a deeply held belief I have that Kansas fans can make a better account of themselves by trying to show off what they can do as a group. Students have done an admirable job of putting on the blue for games. It's time to start getting after the other fans to do their part. For the last home game, for any NCAA tournament game, and for football season this fall, put on a Kansas blue shirt and show your pride in the lawyers.

Kohn is shooting just 35 percent in Big 12 play but her 49 to 29 assist to turnover ratio is the best on the team. If Mosey is cleared to play, her presence will only add to the jayhawk's impressive defense. Senior guards Mosey and Sharita Smith have picked up their levels of play on defense as the season has progressed. The seniors want to build enough momentum in their final regular season game to carry them deep into the conference tournament. WOMEN (CONTINUED FROM 12A) "They'll be loose but focused," Henrickson said. "The end of the regular season gives us a chance to start over." Kansan sportswriter Asher Fusco can be contacted at afusco@ kansan.com. This time around things will look different on both sides, Texas will put as many as four freshmen in its starting lineup, and Kansas freshmen Sherron Collins and Darrell Arthur will face the Longhorns for the first time. That excitement hasn't translated into good basketball. Two years ago Kansas won 90-65 in Lawrence, and in 2006 Texas won by the same margin, beating Kansas 80-55 in Austin. Edited by Jyl Unruh "They've got some freshmen that have been key players for them," sophomore guard Mario Chalmers said. "Kevin Durant has really been good." play this season. The match-up has drawn national attention during the past two years, as ESPN GameDay has shown up for both of the games. Durant is a freshman forward for the Longhorns and the player who most consider a lock to be named national player of the year. BASKETBALL (CONTINUED FROM 12A) "He's going to make a lot of shots" sophomore forward julian Wright said. "We're just not going to worry about the shots he makes." Durant has been averaging 24.7 points per game so far this season, a number that has gone up since conference play began. Hell be vital to Texas' success Saturday. On top of the conference title, both teams will be playing for seeding at the Big 12 tournament. With such a bottleneck of talent at the top, teams are looking for any edge they can get in the days leading up to the NCAA tournament. The team is selected by the National Association of Basketball Coaches, which will also select an All-American team out of the All-District winners. Sophomore guard Brandon Rush and Wright were named to the District 12 First Team on Wednesday, which includes several Weight leads the team in rebounds with eight per game.

CELEBRITIES Paris Hilton could face jail time Heiress violates probation by driving without license ASSOCIATED PRESS WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Paris Hilton could have her probation revoked — possibly resulting in jail time — if she is found to have been driving with a suspended license because it would violate conditions of her previous sentence for reckless driving, authorities said Wednesday. The 26 year old hotel heiress and star of "The Simple Life" was ticketed for misdemeanor driving with a suspended license after her blue Bentley Continental GTC was pulled over on Sunset Boulevard on Tuesday, Los Angeles County sheriff's Sgt Duane Allen Jr. said. She was stopped about 11 p.m. after authorities saw the car speeding with its headlights off, Allen said. "Our office is waiting to obtain a copy of the citation," said Nick Velasquez, a spokesman for the Los Angeles city attorney's office. "Once we're able to verify that Miss Hilton was driving the vehicle, we will request that the court revoke her probation and set a probation violation hearing." Hilton could face up to 90 days in jail if a judge finds she violated her probation, he said. "That is certainly one of the possibilities," Velasquez said. "The judge would make that determination." MADHOUSE ENTERTAINMENT BORN LISH GAS ISH GAS A call to Hilton spokesman Elliot Mintz wasn't immediately returned. In January, Hilton pleaded no contest to alcohol-related reckless driving stemming from a Sept. 7 arrest in Hollywood. She was sentenced to 36 months' probation, alcohol education and $1,500 in fines. Mintz said Hilton didn't realize the car's headlights weren't on because she had just left a parking structure that was brightly lit. She was told by police she was stopped for not having the headlights turned on. Speeding was not mentioned, Mintz said. Earlier, Mintz said Hilton was on her way home Tuesday from buying DVDs at Virgin Megastore in West Hollywood after spending the day at home for a photo shoot. ASSOCIATED PRESS "When she called me, she asked if her license was suspended," Mintz said early Wednesday. "If that's the case, she and I are unaware of it." Hilton was picked up by a friend and taken home after the incident. 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging. 》 HOROSCOPE You're very attractive now but you don't feel very much like working.

Hawk Topics writer Chris Raine (page 16) balances Grey's Anatomy every week. But last Thursday's episode had me sigging with the characters. I have those. Last week's Grey's was about 'people.' Friends' Best friends. Count them as family friends. Unnumbered. Last week, as Jayplay was about to go to print, we realized we needed a photo of a Big Mac. My vegetarian friend Autumn braved the drive-thru and delivered the sandwich. Jackie, my sister, is the count-them-as-family kind of family. When photos fell through for this week's Jayplay, she spent Monday and Tuesday creating art that we weren't even sure we would print. I needed her, and she was there. 07 09 I ♥ NY 05 15 10 WORLD WARCRAFT BURNING CRUSADES When Christina stood at the foot of Meredith's bed during last weeks Grey's, I imagined it was Jackie, Cam or Autumn fighting for life. And I imagined Chris Raine making fun of that fight, cried, and I laughed. Laughing and the crying at the same time... that's what makes Grey's Anatomy — and my family — great. And my best friend (happy birthday, Cam) bought me a doughnut. He drove a crew of drunk people to Joe's Bakery, and remembered that blueberry cake doughnuts always make me feel better. It may seem like a pastry to you, but to me it meant understanding. I guess I'm a lot like Dani Hurst, who writes on page 19 that an egg roll can help on a bad day, even if it's not kosher. 19 Becka Cremer, co-editor calendar 03 MUSIC AND EVENTS George Strait, Glenn Kotche and more health 05 WHITENING WORKSHOP Tips to get that Hollywood smile out 07 A LOOK INSIDE What's in your handbag? contact 09 HELPED OUT KU Queers & Allies opens doors for everyone feature 10 ECO-CHIC A trashy twist on haute couture TAKING THE STAGE Tanner Walle reveals The Future of Tape ALTERNATE REALITY World of Warcraft video game or addiction? speak 19 MY BIG FAT KOSHER LIFE Dani Hurst and the battle in the buffet line JAYPLAYERS EDITORS>MAKIN' IT HAPPEN Becka Cremer Dave Rugh CLERK $\Rightarrow$ GETS AROUND TOWN Michael Peterson DESIGNERS $\rightarrow$ MAKE IT PRETTY Katherine Loeck Bryan Marvin PHOTOGRAPHERS $\rightarrow$ MCGUYVER STUFF Amanda Sellers Anna Faltmeier HEALTH $\Rightarrow$ GOOD FOR YOU Lindsey St. Clair Kim Wallace Elyse Weldner PEOPLE→KNOW EVERYONE Sam Carlson Jennifer Denny Anne Weltmer OUT→HIT THETOWN Matt Elder Courtney Hagen Jaime Netzer NOTICE→TAKE NOTE OF IT Laura Evers Dani Hurst Katrina Mohr CONTACT ➤HELP YOUR LOVE LIFE Matthew Foster Nicole Korman CREATIVE CONSULTANT→FOUR SEA CREATURES Carol Holstead WRITE TO US jayplay07@gmail.com JAYPLAY The University Daily Kansan 111 Stauffer-Flint Hall 1435 Jayhawk Blvd. Lawrence, KS 66045 02→ JAYPLAY 03.01.2007 VOLUME 4, ISSUE 21 C Ca lae le d ndalr alr THURSDAY Gallery Exhibit: The Dead Sea Scrolls.

Whatevers going down the toilet will end up plastering your personal hygiene items, including toothbrushes, toilet paper and contact lens cases that are near the toilet. Chuck Gerba, a professor of environmental microbiology at the University of Arizona, conducted an experiment in the mid-1970s that examined the aerosols created from toilet flushing. He found that the floors and sinks near the toilet were covered with water droplets that continued to fall from the air up to four hours after flushing. You're brushing your teeth with whatever you just flushed down the toilet,"he says. Diseases such as Hepatitis A and bacterial dysentery can develop from these water germs, Gerba says.

She can also remember the challenge of trying to keep the saliva from inching toward her teeth and peeling off the $40 product that was clinging gingerly to her smile. Eventually, Kessinger, Overland Park senior, found that the only way to subdue the spit was to hold her mouth open for the entire 30-minute period that Crest advises the Whitestrite be worn. The uncomfortable process proved to be too high maintenance for her tastes, she says. So when Kessinger won a professional teeth-bleaching treatment at a church auction last November, she was ready to try a new approach to brighten her smile. Today, seeing the results of the professional treatment, Kessinger says she wishes she would have spent the $300 the treatment costs to get the results sooner. And she's not alone. Between 1996 and 2000, the teeth-whitening industry grew 300 percent, according to the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. And in 2000, Americans spent $1.3 billion on professional teeth-whitening procedures. But without a degree in dentistry, the countless teeth-whitening options lining the shelves of the grocery store's oral hygiene aisle and piling up at your dentist's office can be confusing and overwhelming. So follow along as we break down the mechanics, the methods and the myths behind getting that Hollywood smile. Your teeth suffer from two kinds of staining, says Kylie Siruta, a student in the division of dental hygiene at the UMKC School of Dentistry. Intrinsic stains are those found on your tooth's dentin layer, the area between the outer enamel and the inner blood and nerve center of a tooth. The dentin is naturally yellow, says Siruta, so it's there you find the cause of the yellow, orange or light brown shading that pops up in your smile. Only peroxide-based chemicals are successful in removing these deeper stains. Lighter, extrinsic stains can appear on the enamel as a result of everyday contact with dark beverages or from smoking. Whitening toothpaste that include an abrasive ingredient can physically scrape these surface stains from the enamel, Siruta says. But keep in mind that these toothpastes do not contain peroxide ingredients and are incapable of bleaching or lightening the shade of your teeth. Only two bleaching agents are capable of penetrating the tooth and whitening the naturally yellow dentin layer: carbamide peroxide and hydrogen peroxide. When they come into contact with the tooth, these agents break down and the resulting oxidizing process works to dissolve the extrinsic and intrinsic stains, making the teeth appear whiter and brighter. Siruata says. The difference between the two bleaching agents — the amount of time the chemicals stay active — is one factor that separates professional treatments prescribed to you by your dentist and at-home whitening treatments such as Crest Whitestrips. The most commonly used active ingredient in professional bleaching treatments is carbamide peroxide because it maintains its concentration longer, Siruta says. Because of the more inert chemical reaction occurring with the use of carbamide peroxide, it will be active for 6 to 8 hours if left on the teeth, says David Cohen, an assistant professor of dentistry at UMKC. The varying percentages of hydrogen peroxide found in the six types of Crest Whitestrips will only stay active for about 30 minutes. Cohen says. Another factor that influences the results of any whitening treatment, and one that separates at-home and professional treatments, is the dilution of the bleaching agent when it comes into contact with saliva. Siruta says. One professional treatment option that minimizes the chance of dilution is the whitening tray. An in-office mold is taken of your teeth, so that when you take the tray home and inject the carbamide peroxide it's form fitted to your teeth, keeping out any excess saliva that could rinse the bleaching agent off the teeth. At the offices of Galen Van Blairicum, 3310 Mesa Way, whitening trays cost from $250-350, depending on what percentage of the bleaching agent you and the dentist decide is best for you. The universal-fit Crest Whitestrips and brush-on whitening gels do not provide the same protection from dilution or the same custom fit that guarantees strong chemical-tooth contact. And even though the most expensive option for Crest Whitestrips is only $44.98, Kelly Clark, Overland Park junior, decided to pay for professional whitening trays after hearing her friends complain that their Whitestrips did not sit on every tooth the same, causing bleaching inconsistencies. It was the time commitment that prevented Brad Bailey, Overland Park graduate student, from continuing to use Crest Whitestrips after only one week of treatment. "It got to the point that the last thing on my mind was putting them on for an hour," Bailey says. To cater to individuals like Bailey who want to complete the whitening process in one sitting, or for those who need to see immediate results, there are Using trays and whitening gel prescribed by a dentist is a reliable way to a whiter smile. AT-HOME WHITENING TREATMENTS YOU CAN FIND IN YOUR KITCHEN Apply a mixture of lemon juice and salt to teeth. Combine bi-carbonate soda with water and use as a toothpaste. Use dried and powdered bay leaves mixed with dried orange peels. Rub the inner white part of an orange peel against your teeth. Source: Oliver Turner at www.buzzle.com in-office professional treatments that contain even stronger percentages of the bleaching treatments. At Cohen's private practice, this treatment of 38 percent carbamide peroxide costs $550 but takes only 45 minutes. The bottom line is that the results of whitening treatments depend on the strength of the chemical and the amount of time the bleaching agent is allowed to spend on the teeth. Stronger ingredients that stay active longer and custom-made and supervised treatments cost more but can provide faster results. All you have to decide now is how much your smile is worth. 03. 01.2007 JAYPLAY <05 HAPPY HOUR MENU IN THE JAYHAWKER BAR AT THE ELDRIDGE MONDAY THRU FRIDAY, 4PM TO 6PM $1.95 PER APPETIZER, WITH THE PURCHASE OF A DRINK IN THE JAYHAWKER ONLY- BUFFALO WINGS (HOT OR MILD) FRIED PORTABELLA MUSHROOMS SPINACH & ARTICHOKE DIP CHEESE QUESADILLA Pineapple Chicken Salad SAUTEED MUSSELS TRADITIONAL BRUSCHETTA HAMBURGER SLIDERS WEEKLY DRINK FEATURES MONDAY: $2.00 BOULEVARD DRAWS TUESDAY: $5.00 ALL WINES BY GLASS WEDNESDAY: $2.50 IMPORT BOTTLES THURSDAY: 2 FOR 1 MARTINI'S & 2 FOR 1 DOMESTIC BOTTLES FRIDAY: FEATURED WINE SATURDAY: FEATURED WINE SUNDAY: $3.50 ABSOLUT BLOODY MARY [the jayhawker] COTTON CUP WESCOEwit A1 Girl 1: I thought you gave up chocolate.

Penhorwood and his sister combined a love for art with their desire to help when they founded pretty.darn:swell. online at www.prettydarnswell.com. The site sells submitted artwork with a portion of each sale benefiting a charity of the artist's choice. The Web site has raised more than $10,000 for almost 100 different charities, Penhorwood says. Here's how it works: Artists send in their work, specifying to which charity they would like to donate. Penhorwood then chooses which artists will be featured on the site. The rest is up to buyers. Each print costs $20 —$ 10 stays with pretty.darn:swell to cover the printing and shipping, $5 goes back to the artist, and the remaining$ 5 goes to the chosen charity. The pieces are as diverse as the charities they sponsor, which range from the Special P Olympics to animal protection agencies, and no credentials are required to submit a piece. Penhorwood wants people to feel like they're contributing something by supporting artists and worthy causes, he says. "It's only $20," he says. "You could buy your friends some coffee with that money, or you could give back."

Thanks to rising interest, many people are taking a peek inside other people's handbags. by Courtney Hagen Andrea Potter has just returned home from her job with an apartment management company. Happy to be done with a long, trying day at work, the Branson, Mo., junior walks through the door of Rieger Scholarship Hall swinging her bright pink handbag. In her purse is a small collection of the things she relies on each day, from the necessary (reading glasses) to the not so necessary (glittery lip gloss). Potter likes her bag because it holds everything she needs, but every once in awhile she can't resist looking at what other people are carrying. "There's a whole lot of different styles out there and they really show off a person's style," Potter says. Thanks to the rise of a new media and technology subculture, Potter is free to indulge her voyeuristic desire to take a look at, and inside, other people's handbags. Currently there are a number of Web sites that allow for the posting and dissecting of users' handbags and the contents that fill them. To this global audience, A special thread on Flickr.com, the photo sharing Web site, is dedicated entirely to over 2,000 photos posted by users of the personal items they carry in their bags each day. Other sites, like InsideMyBag.com, allow users to email photos of their bags to be posted and shared with viewers around the world. privacy is off limits. Users post pictures of anything and everything they have inside their bags, from watercolor sets and laptops to sunglasses and iPods, for all to see. The items show off a wide spectrum of the lives they represent and, for some, are becoming a valid form of artistic expression. Saralyn Reece Hardy, director of the Spencer Museum of Art, recognizes the appeal these sites have because of their tendency to expose the art of utility in everyday life. Hardy thinks a cultural desire for individually defining aspects of life fuels the growth of this idea. "There are small, personal items that mean things only for the person carrying them." Reece Hardy says. "The personal items that are sometimes concealed can be as beautiful and satisfying as public objects, too." The handbags and the items leave small, archival imprints about what the carrier is doing or where they are going on a certain day, says Sherry Williams, curator of the Kansas Collection at the Spencer Research Library. "I suppose in a way people's papers document what they do." Williams says. "The contents of your purse on any given day could define what you do or who you are." Whether the handbags and their contents have any deeper meaning doesn't matter much for Potter. For now, she's just interested in looking.

Officially, they went to check things out because they served together on Student Senate, which funds the group. But according to Gonzalez-Hoch, she and Campbell went to find out what the group does and, she says half jokingly,"We wanted to go so he could be the Q and me the A." KU Queers & Allies, also known as Q & A, intimidated Campbell because it was perceived as a dating service. He convinced Gonzalez-Hoch to go along as a "comfort blanket." Campbell came out while he was still in high school. He says that because he did he was booed on his high school's home court while serving as an escort for the homecoming queen and was kicked out of the Boy Scouts of America two days after attaining the rank of Eagle Scout. Even his parents had trouble accepting that he was gay. "My father used to give me a lot of hurt about it and it took my mother several months to acknowledge it," he says. "Before I was at KU, the reactions people had to my homosexuality were largely negative." At the University Campbell was shocked because although he knew his sexual orientation would be a problem for some people on campus, he says he never heard anything negative. Since then, he's also been surprised by the support for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community around the city. "I was also a bit surprised when I moved into the dorms, because Naismith is sort of a haven for gay students," he says. "On my floor alone, there were five gay men. My roommate, by chance, was gay. It was just a lot to get used to." Campbell says he searched for a way to participate in the LGBT community and found the club scene more like a habit than an "BEFORE I WAS AT KU, THE REACTIONS PEOPLE HAD TO MY HOMOSEXUALITY WERE LARGELY NEGATIVE." - RYAN CAMPBELL, OLATHE SOPHOMORE outlet in which to participate. "liquid was sort of an addiction I had for a while, because it seemed to be the best outlet for the gay community in Lawrence," he says. Queers & Allies, he thought, would be a better way to participate in the gay community in Lawrence,rather than Naismith Hall and Liquid Bar & Nightclub, 804 W.24th St. A flexible identity "Labels are for jars, not people," says an old friend of KU Queers & Allies communications director Stephanie Bottoms, Omaha, Neb., senior Bottoms uses that quote to explain that she believes sexual orientation is a spectrum, not a fixed condition. She joined Queens & Allies because she wanted to help change its image away from that of a dating service and toward a mechanism of change within the community she says. "Since being here, I've learned that it's not all about parties and dating. That's just the main thing that gets advertised." Bottoms says. "So I've helped to get the word out about our other programs and events." She has spread the word. about the group's sponsored lectures, discussions and social events. Bottoms says. Queers & Allies offers an arena for LGBT and non-LGBT individuals to proactively pursue common political and social objectives, and it provides counseling for people who are struggling with sexuality issues. KAY Jessica Rojas, Olathe junior, says she benefited from the counseling available from Queers & Allies. She began questioning her sexual orientation when she was 18 years old and remained uncertain for about a year. Then she came to the University and heard about the group, Rojas says. "Q & A opened my eyes and myself to who I am," "Rojas says."I am so much happier now that I can understand myself. I've been able to get involved and realize that I can be myself." Rojas originally identified herself as bisexual, but she says that through the friends and environment within Queers & Allies she eventually became more comfortable and now identifies herself as a lesbian. Listen, talk, enjoy or join Queers & Allies sponsors a variety of events to encourage group participation. The group meets weekly, alternating between social and business meetings. Their most recent social meeting was the first ever Queer Hawk Bowling, to which they invited anyone who was interested bowl for free. Last semester they offered another first-time event, Q & A with Q & A, an open-discussion forum. Anyone can join the organization simply by attending the meetings, says Jonathan Pryor Queers & Allies director. In February, the group helped pay for Esera Tuaolo to speak at the University. Tuaolo announced he was gay after retiring from professional football and since then has spoken at universities around the country about tolerance. Tuaolo says that there was a small LGBT group at the college he attended but that he Ryan Campbell, Olathe sophomore,received annegative reaction when he came out in high school, but in college, Campbell found Queers & Allies and a place to belong. PHOTOS/ SARAH LEONARD never considered it an option to join because he thought he would lose his football scholarship and his chance to help his family financially by playing in the NFL. "It's all up to them if they feel it's safe enough to come out," Tuaolo says. "But when they come out, we as a community must rally around them and show support." Ryan Campbell's involvement in Queers & Allies has helped show his mother that his involvement in the LGBT community is something that he's passionate about. ("She has realized that) this is a culture of people who accept each other and embrace each other and are here to stay," he says. And he stresses that the relationships he has with non-LGBT individuals like his mother and Nancy Gonzalez Hoch are important because they serve as ambassadors and lead by example. "I think that reaching out to straight individuals really serves as a bridge to less accessible people who would probably be more close-minded, because a gay person telling a straight person that it's OK to be gay is nothing even comparable to a straight person telling another straight person that." 03. 01.2007 JAYPLAY < 09 Eco Loni Hosking reconstructs multiple old garments into one-of-a-kind curve-hugging dresses. Lindsey Owen, Wichita senior, makes fashionable handbags out of men's neck ties. Lawrence artists turn the old into the new. by Lindsey St. Clair As the world becomes more eco-conscious, it's no surprise that some Lawrence artists and designers have turned to the old adage "reduce, reuse, recycle." It's not a new concept, but it is growing in popularity. At Ecoboutiquo, a boutique that features garments and accessories made out of mostly recycled materials, reopening March 6 at 13 E. Eighth St., local artists have another outlet in which to sell their creations. "Renewable resources are the way to go," says Andrea Moreau, an Ecoboutiquo shopper. "It's not just the way of the future, it's the way of now." As for the creations of Ecoboutiquo owner and designer Loni Hosking, "It's rock n' roll couture as far as I'm concerned," Moreau says. Loni Hosking She's been a thrift-store shopper ever since she was allowed to make her own decisions about what to wear, Hosking says. Since then, she's been rethinking clothing. Now, under the designer name Lonibonbny she creates one-of-a-kind skirts, dresses, shirts and handbags, ranging in price from $15 to$ 100. She makes her skirts, dresses and shirts out of clothing she finds while shopping at thrift stores and yard sales. Friends also supply her with new materials when they clean out their closets. Hosking reconstructs three or four old garments to make one new garment. She especially loves to use fabrics that stretch and hug curves, as well as cool prints, she says. A line of formal gowns Hosking created for Planet Fashion, a fashion show sponsored by Ecoboutiquo last November at Liberty Hall, 642 Massachusetts St., exemplifies her style. She made a dress entirely out of old slips ($150) that nobody had thought of wearing since the early '90s. She can't wait for a hip high-schooler to scoop up one of her Eco-couture dresses to wear to prom, Hosking says. Hosking's mother, also a clothing designer, taught her how to sew. However, unlike her mother, a patient seamstress, Hosking prefers to "bunch it together and cram it through the machine." Hosking also created a line of handbags made out of restructured tube rubber from recycled tires. The handbags come in all shapes and sizes with embellishments such as studs, fringe and oversized clothespins. GUEST SPEAKER KU alum Bob Ebendorf, an artist internationally renowned for his work with found objects and recyclables, will give a public lecture on Thursday, March 8 at 7 p.m. in the Big 12 Room of the Kansas Union. Hosking isn't the only one breathing new life into the obsolete. She sells work from about 30 other local artists in her boutique. Lindsey Owen She now makes and sells bans Lindsey Owen, Wichita senior, worked with Hosking at Waxman Candles, 609 Massachusetts St. When Hosking saw Owen's first bag, made entirely out of discarded neckties sewn together, it was love at first sight. So Owen made more. makes and sells bags made from ties in all shapes and sizes, from clutches to knitting tags that range in price from $15 to$ 75. For extra flair, Owen adds stitching and decorative handles to the bags. She also makes belts, bracelets that snap and headbands out of ties. Owen says she usually buys her ties at the Disabled American Veterans thrift store in Wichta (they cheap there), or gets them from people she knows, like her brother, who just gave her a whole trash bag full of ties from an estate sale in Qallas. She likes to add lace and other feminine touches to her pieces to contradict the notion that ties come from old men.

Less than 25 percent of trash is recycled. More than 70 percent of trash could be recycled. Source: www.learner.org look. O'Connor also made a bunch of scarves out of similar materials, mixing and matching the colors and patterns for drama. The scarves cost between $7 to$ 15 at Ecoboutiquo. He also plans to add skirts made out of recycled T-shirts, as well as modified T-shirts and sweatshirts to his collection by spring. makes his bags, which cost here from $10 to$ 40, out of red fabric he finds in dumpsters thrift stores.

"All it is recycling," he says. "If you see something in a dumpster that you want, you should grab it. It's our duty as human beings." Suzanne Perry Self-described eco-artist Suzanne Perry doesn't go dumpster diving to find the materials she uses to make her glass block lamps — she goes to the University of Kansas library, where she used to work. Perry uses recycled plastic book jackets for the surface design on her lampshades. "Instead of being thrown away, I use them,"she says. She draws and transfers her original sketches to the glass blocks themselves (exactly how she does it is her secret). The base is made up of recycled steel wire made from crushed cars, which is a way to get steel without mining ore, she says. Designs on the lamps range from martins to the Eiffel tower and prices range from $40 to$ 60, depending on where you buy it. She's even licensed to create Jayhawk lamps, because she attended KU more than 30 years ago to get a master's in French and never left Lawrence. She got the idea for the lamps after she figured out how to separate the plastic from discarded book jackets when making paper bead earrings and necklaces out of them. Now her idea is trademarked and she sells them to national catalogs, including Femail Creations, a catalog of artwork by women, and After 5 Catalog, a barware catalog. Although the lamps used to be more educational before recycling became more common, she says, she's just really happy that people like what she makes. Even the former governor of Missouri's wife liked her lamps so much she custom-ordered one for the governor's mansion. Try this on for size On Tuesday head to Ecoboutiquo's new location, 13 E. Eighth St., to see the eco-friendly items these artists have crafted. "Who says recycling can't be fashionable and sexy," Loni Hosking says. NOT JUST LOCAL Found objects are one of the things that inspired artist Larry Krone, whose art has been shown at the Whitney Museum at Philip Morris in New York, to make art. He made "More Love Hours (No Charge)" from old clothes that were damaged or torn. "I took out the good parts and put it back together," he says. He also creates art out of booze bottles left from him drinking (especially Jack Daniels) or found in recycling bins, by etching words inside the glass. He's happy his art doesn't contribute to the unnecessary waste in this country, he says. Cory O'Connor creates unique handbags with decorative shapes out of used fabric. Loni Hosking restructures tube rubber from recycled tires into trendy handbags. She constructed the dress entirely out of old slips.

WE USED TO LIVE TOGETHER AND NOW WE'RE GETTING READY TO LIVE APART. I KNOW MY CLINGINESS IS PUSHING HIM AWAY, BUT I FEEL LIKE I DON'T KNOW HOW TO ACT ANY OTHER WAY. I WANT TO SPEND ALL OF MY TIME WITH HIM. WHAT DO I DO? with Niloofar Shahmohammadi JILL, JUNIOR What do you do? You stop being clingy. Right now. The number one reason why women cling to their boyfriends like leeches is insecurity. You might think your sense of security in a relationship comes from your significant other, but this is exactly the kind of distorted thinking that creates more barnacles. My friend's mother told her (and she now constantly repeats) that "No one can make you feel anything." You choose how you feel because feelings develop unconsciously. Imagine if you had the best boyfriend in the world, who constantly reassured you of his love, sent you flowers every day and never looked at other women. If you felt internally insecure, it wouldn't matter how big of a bouquet he bought you, because you would always have a nagging fear that one day he might leave you. Or that he would cheat on you. If he goes on a family trip for the weekend and you don't hear from him, you would start to wonder if he's angry with you, and if things have changed. Now compare that with someone who is internally secure. It won't matter if she and her boyfriend have a fight and don't speak for a few days.She knows he loves her and she trusts that everything will be OK. She doesn't hear from him for a couple of days? His phone battery must have died and he must have lost his charger. She always thinks positively until he gives her a reason to think otherwise. So you need to start telling yourself that he loves you. That he wouldn't have moved in with you and stayed with you for a year (despite your neediness) if he wasn't in love with you. You need to start dating yourself, doing things without him, instead of hanging around him all the time. I GAVE MY GIRLFRIENDA BLENDER FOR VALENTINE'S DAY AND SHE'S BEEN ACTING PRETTY DISTANT EVER SINCE. WHAT DID I DO WRONG? The only reason you want to spend all of your time with him is because you want constant validation from him that he cares. And if you haven't gotten enough of it on a particular day, you think the longer you hang out the more of that reassurance you can get. But the opposite is true. Stay away for awhile and you'll become more attractive. He'll give you more of that reassurance when he does see you and you'll love yourself more when you don't resemble a blood-sucking worm. BILLY, FRESHMAN Oh, Billy! What did you do wrong?! You bought her a blender! Did you puree your brains with it before you bought it for her? Women want a romantic gift for V-Day, even if it as clichéd as a heart-shaped box of chocolates. She probably thinks the blender was an indication that you're not that crazy about her, when really it just means you're crazy. Consider yourself lucky that she didn't stick your ass in it and hit "whip" as soon as she opened it. But since she refrained, there's probably still hope in the form of Hallmark. Get her a really sappy card. have some flowers delivered and attach a note that says something cheesy like "Sorry I 'minced' up. I love you. Please forgive me." Then, use the blender to make her a really damn good dinner. And next year, stick to flowers and candy, or for some variety, a snuggly teddy bear.

TANNER WALLE THE FUTURE OF TAPE COURTESY OF TANNER WALLE Singer-songwriter Tanner Walle will release his second CD and make a contribution to the United Way this weekend. by Matt Elder Tanner Walle, frontman for Lawrence cover band The Wobbly H, is proving that his musical palette extends beyond singing other people's songs. Walle, 23-year-old Lawrence resident, will unveil his sophomore solo album, The Future of Tape, March 2 at the Granada Theater, 1020 Massachusetts St. "It's not until you hear his original stuff that you get a real sense of him," Mark Barrath, St. Louis senior, says. "Him being known as the singer for The Wobbly H just doesn't do him justice or show his true talents." Though Walle's new album draws from the same subtle melodies and jazzy guitar work as his debut, It Was, his partnership with producer Jerett Fulton is leading him in a new musical direction. Trying to compare his sophomore album to his debut is like trying to compare night and day, Walle says. The Future of Tape is an electro-pop collection that relies on both organic and electronic grooves, as well as Walle's delicate vocals and acoustic guitar work. "It's 21st-century singer-songwriter," says Fulton, owner of Mixtape Soundlab, 735 1/2 New Hampshire St. "We've helped him find a brand new sound." That sound will be shared with the public March 2 at the Granada Theater for the first time. Walle contribute some of the proceeds from the night to Rock Chalk Revue, an annual fundraiser for the United Way. Rock Chalk Revue is one of the largest student-run philanthropies in the United States, and past shows have raised more than $50,000. In addition to contributing the sales of an 'EP that includes several tracks from The Future of Tape., Walle is donating all ticket sales from his CD release party at the Granada Theater to the United Way. Walle's EPs will be available at the Lied Centerbeforeandafterthe Rock Chalk Revue performances. He is eager for the opportunity to share his fresh batch of originals with a new audience."It's great for both entities,"he says."Either way money is going to be raised.It's a surefire thing." Scott Campbell, fundraising coordinator for the 2007 Rock Chalk Revue, says it will be talent show of sorts for the participating organizations. Walle's talents will help raise money for the United Way, and that the organization plans to incorporate Rock Chalk Artists into future performances because of this year's projected success, Campbell says. Singer-songwriter Tanner Walle will play at the Granada Theater on March 2.

In fact, he was dead yet against it. He had witnessed friends become addicted to the game and decided that wasn't going to be him. In 2005, he decided to innocently try it out to see what all the fuss was about. But once he sat down, he didn't want to get up. The online computer game World of Warcraft, released in November 2004, has become nothing short of a phenomenon. Nith eight million players worldwide, two million of those in North America In the beginning, Coquillette played an average of 40 hours per week. Although he now plays 10 hours a week at the most, when he started playing. WoW turned communicate with each other through text, a system similar to instant messaging. Through this system, gamers can make their characters flirt, tell jokes, dance, and even strip. ILLUSTRATION/KATIETEBOW "IT ALLOWS YOU TO LEAD SOMEONE ELSE'S LIFE. IT FREES YOU FROM A LOT OF THE EMOTIONAL BAGGAGE OF REAL LIFE AND, IN A WAY, GIVES YOU A VACATION." —WILL COQUILLETTE, LENEXA JUNIOR alone, it's safe to say this is not "just a video game." A massively multiplayer online role-playing game (or MMORPG for short), NoW allows its users to enter an alternate reality in which they can create their own characters, fight off enemies and live in a world completely separate from their own. In fact, the opportunity to escape is one of the game's most appealing qualities. If you play the game enough, it allows you to lead someone else's life," Coquillette says. "It frees you from a lot of the emotional paddle of real life and, in a way, gives you a vacation." To enter WoW is to enter another dimension. In the game, players live in a world of fantasy and adventure. They can explore snow-covered mountains, sand dunes, forests and ice bridges, all with the beauty of 3-D animation. Gamers can also walk through logging companies and castles, intermittently fighting off beasts and demons along the way. WoW also gives gamers the opportunity to talk to each other out loud with microphones, using software such as TeamSpeak or Ventrilo. If players do not have this software, they can into an alternate reality for him. WoW players can easily lose perspective of the real world while playing the game, causing them to view their own life as a "drag" in comparison, says Anne Owen, a licensed psychologist in Lawrence. "It can be a lot like a drug addiction," she says. "People give up on aspects of their life that could be fulfilling because their focus is on playing the game." Real-world interaction World of Warcraft also interacts with the real world, increasing its appeal. According to Coquillette, the economics surrounding the game account for much of the allure. While playing the game, players earn gold that propels their character further into each level. Sometimes, instead of keeping the gold for themselves, players put the gold up for sale on eBay and make a substantial profit. Although Coquillette hasn't done this, he says it's also possible for the player to sell their entire account on eBay. Damon Smith, Houston junior, received $500 for his account when he sold it on eBay, but believes he could have had$ 1,500 if he had sold the account as soon as he stopped, instead of allowing the account to remain idle for three months. The game also lets users interact socially, allowing them to work together to complete a goal. In WoW, the object of the game is to move to the next level. By joining a guild, you can agree to play with other people to further advance in the game and gain experience and gold. Gaining gold and items, or "loot," better equips the player to face more difficult enemies further along in the game. While playing, users can talk to each other through messaging systems and audible dialogue, oftentimes forming new friendships that transfer to real life. Smith has only made a few friends through the game,although he has heard that some couples meet while playing WoW and get married, he says. The game's other large appeal is the rush of accomplishment and power users get from playing the game. Every level is designed to help the player gain experience. As a player moves up each level, he or she becomes more powerful by collecting gold, and it becomes increasingly more difficult to travel to the next part of the game. "People like to be powerful," Coquillette says. "The game is full of rewards like that." Addiction factor Addiction factor With all the appeal of WoW, Smith believes it has turned into an addiction. Since beginning the game, Smith has quit three times, most recently last August, due to the time commitment it demanded. He has yet to start up again. "For people who play the game, it's like a second life to them. You can't just quit a life," Smith says. Much like Coquillette, Smith found that the game distracted him from his real life, sometimes to an overwhelming degree. Smith became dedicated to playing every night when he joined with 39 other players in his guild to complete a challenge for bragging rights and new equipment for their CONTINUED ON PAGE 16➤ 03.01.2007 JAYPLAY ←15 CONTINUED FROM PAGE 15 characters. At the end of the challenge, the 40 players faced a boss, which is extremely hard to beat, Smith says. During the summer, it was not unusual for Smith to play eight hours every day, reducing his playing to three hours when school started. "It seemed like a job. It stopped being fun, because I'd always have to prepare to play the game," he says. According to Smith, half of all WoW users are addicted. Addictions to video games can be destructive, Owen says. "People know when it's getting out of balance because their time with friends and family suffers" she says. "It's a lot like drug addiction, in that their focus becomes when they're going to play the game. They give up on aspects of their life that could be fulfilling because they don't put their energy into real-life experiences." Fearing that he could become addicted, Smith decided to quit just nine months after he started. Attempting to go cold turkey did little to keep him away from the game. Shortly after he quit, he began playing again. Video game addiction is like compulsive gambling. Owen says, "It's just one more hand, one more roll," she says. "The rest of the world fades away into this accomplishment, this level." In order to stop video game addiction, Owen says, someone close to the person should monitor his or her time spent on the computer. The person will need a lot of support because of the emptiness they will feel if their game is taken away. They need to realize what they've given up for the game. After March 2006, Smith decided to wean himself off the game slowly for a six-month period. He hasn't played since. Even though some people take it to the extreme, WoW can be a fun, interactive way to go on an adventure with thousands of other gamers.

She was encouraged by the faculty of the KU Law School and decided to pursue a law degree at a time when very few women did. Grad life: Immediately after graduating from the University of Kansas, Tacha attended the University of Michigan Law School and received her degree in 1971. She became a White House fellow and special assistant to the secretary of the U.S. Department of Labor until 1972, but moved back to Kansas when she married a high school basketball coach in Concordia. One year later, she joined the KU Law faculty. In 1985, Tacha was appointed by President Ronald Reagan to the U.S. Court of Appeals and confirmed with the help of Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole. Today: Judge Tacha was promoted to Chief Judge of the U.S.Court of Appeals for the Tenth District in 2001 and remains on the bench today. Although the Tenth District includes Kansas, Oklahoma, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming, she still lives in Lawrence, where she and her husband raised their four children. She is a member of the Judicial Conference of the United States, which includes the chief judge and one district court judge from every district in the country. With the other judges, she helps set policy for all federal courts in the U.S. She says: Judge Tacha likes her job because it's interesting and she's always being challenged intellectually.

CONCERT Hello Stranger Touning behind their self-titled debut CD, Hello Stranger invaded the Replay Lounge on Wednesday, Feb. 21, playing to a small group of people ready to hear some dance-rock mixed with new wave and disco. But unlike several bands in the genre, Hello Stranger didn't fill their set with dirty dance-punk, and lead singer Juliette Commagere didn't try to sound British. Instead, their smartly crafted pop songs (reminiscent of The Cardigans, Fleetwood Mac and The Sounds) demanded attention, with their killer hooks and solid grooves anchored by drummer Joachim Cooder and bassist Ben Messelbeck. "Her in These Lights" featured soaring keys and a strong halftime groove, while "Dancing For No One" had a mysterious disco feel. Guitarist Jared Smith lost his guitar strap during the song, but never stopped giving his all as the band continued to put energy into every beat. On "We Used to Talk" the band got quiet for a few minutes and showcased a great bluesy lead from Smith. It was great to see a dance-rock band play a laidback song without having to explode at the end. "On "Es Tu Vida," Hello Stranger showcased one of its neatest talents — playing a song completely in Spanish and actually pulling it off without sounding like a cheap gimmick. They closed the powerful set with "Which Side Is Mine," which showed the band truly focused with the locked-in rhythm section and clapping assistance from the audience. Since you missed your chance to see them, your best bet is to pick up their self-titled debut and fall in love, because simply put, every song is good. Chris Brower CONCERT Midnight Movies JUNGLE Los Angeles' Midnight Movies brought their psychedelic rock to the Bottleneck on Tuesday, Feb. 20. Playing in a good-sized audience, they meandered through a set full of driving anthems and droning vocals. The set opened with"Lion Song," which started with subtle tambourine and a low and steady feel before building to a quicker tempo with fiery guitar leads from Larry Schemel subtle background vocals from drummer Sandra Vu, and thumping bass. From there, the set continued in a similar fashion of slow, quiet intros building to fast tempos, with driving guitar and somewhat off-key vocals. Throughout the set, the band looked awkward and aloof, as if they were jamming on the material for the first time. Though this hurt them in some ways, it matched the imagery of the songs: mysterious, confusing art rock with a heavy low end. Yet it did little to liven up their repetitive set. Midnight Movies' new album, Lion The Girl, comes out April 24. Chris Brower the number 23 The Number 23 MOVIE Jim Carrey and director Joel Schumacher make a terrible duo. They last teamed up on 1995's Batman Forever, with disastrous results, and don't fare much better in The Number 23. Jim Carrey plays Walter Sparrow, a dog-catcher who receives a book from his wife (Virginia Madsen) on his birthday. The book is titled *The Number 23*. The book revolves around suicide and murder, which seem to be related to the number 23. As Walter reads, he starts to notice that his life parallels the book in many ways, and that the most important events in his life relate to the number 23. Digging into the past, Walter discovers a mysterious murder and realizes that the number 23 may be more than just a coincidence. This is the classic case of the movie that tries too hard. Throughout, The Number 23 tries to be creepy, but comes off as extremely dull and unintentionally humorous. For example, a mysterious, all- knowing dog shows up at the scene of coincidences, but instead of looking menacing, he challenges viewers to hold back their laughter. There's also the parallel book universe, filmed in mellow blacks, whites and reds. Here, it's evident that Schumacher tries to evoke 1950s and 60s noir but fails miserably, as the scenes come across as cheesy. But the film's biggest flaw is in the title. It turns out that the number 23 is neither a curse nor a blessing, but a gimmick. The movie isn't very frightening in the first place, but take away that number and it just doesn't add up.

The grease glistens on the perfectly wrapped folds of the crispy dough envelopes, and I can almost feel the satisfying crunch against my tongue. My mouth waters, I follow the buffet line, my eyes dancing over the burnt orange crab legs reaching out of the steaming tray, beckoning me. My brow furrows, and I start to sweat. Further down the line, curly pink shrimp tails seem to spill out over the rim of a bowl of cocktail sauce, teasing me. I quickly grab a bowl by Dani Hurst of egg drop soup and a handful of crispy noodles and run back to my table. Penelope S. Grace I didn't always follow a kosher diet. I learned the main rules back when I was in first or second grade of Hebrew school — don't mix milk and meat and don't eat pork or shellfish — but my mother was pretty lax about our eating habits because we just weren't that religious. We didn't go to synagogue regularly. We didn't mingle with a lot of other Jewish families. We didn't even know the names of the months of the Jewish calendar. Looking back now, though, I see that we were always culturally Jewish, and we did the things that most people expect Jews to do: we celebrated Chanukah, my family went to synagogue on high holy days, and my older sister and I attended Hebrew school for a few years. My family, much like the other Jewish families we knew, also tended to overdo the "no pork" part, avoiding pigs altogether (my mom wouldn't even shop at Piggly Wiggly grocery stores because of the pig on the sign). I remember the exact point in my life when I decided to make the switch to a kosher diet. I had just come back from a 10-day trip to Israel, an environment in which the people were beautiful — tan and slender, with big eyes and welcoming smiles — and the food was unusually delicious (especially for being kosher). Every day we ate kosher dishes that were more delicious than any I had ever had back in Kansas; warm, crisp falafel (smashed chickpeas rolled into balls and fried) on soft pita bread, stacked high with fresh salads and tangy sauces, and juicy shawarma (slices of marinated meat roasted on a rotating spit) that melted in your mouth before you even had a chance to chew it three times. These foods were abundant in Israel, on every street corner and in every restaurant. I was convinced that my transition to an all-kosher diet would be a smooth and satisfying one. I could not have been more wrong. Coming home was a gastronomic disappointment. Instead of finding fresh falafel and shawarma on every corner, I was stuck with the less appetizing versions of the foods I used to relish: plain hamburgers replaced scrumptious bacon cheeseburgers, boring cheese pizzas replaced flavorful pepperoni pizzas, and I couldn't eat shrimp or lobster or crab, ever. And it just kept getting worse. My dietary makeover gradually leaked into the tiniest parts of my life, like my snack foods. For instance, I remember the very last powdered gem donut I ever ate. It was spring break, and my friends and I were lounging around a hotel room. Each one of us had bought a favorite treat to share with the group, and mine had been a bag of Hostess powdered gem donuts. I offered one to a vegetarian friend, but she declined it on the basis that they contained beef fat. I didn't believe her, and shoved one in my mouth. Then I checked the ingredients, just for fun, only to find that she had been right. Then I saw the dreaded words: Contains milk products. I almost choked on the damned thing. Beef fat and milk — meat and milk mixed together. That was a kosher faux pas, a no-no, a cardinal rule never to be broken. I slowly chewed the remainder of the donut in my mouth and swallowed carefully, eyes shut tight, afraid a bolt of lightning would strike me down then and there. I rolled the top of the bag shut and sadly gave them away. That was the start of what is now my barter system with G-d (The lack of an "o" in the word is similar to not taking the Lord's name in vain, an old Hebrew school habit I never broke). After that, food took on a much more significant role. It wasn't merely nourishment for my body, but was a way to express my Judaism in a manner that made sense to me. I knew I could never follow every kosher law as strictly as G-d would want, so I began to think in terms of spiritual negotiation. if, for instance, I followed the main laws as well as I could, then when a monster craving hit, a little piece of bacon would go unpunished. If I checked the labels of the bread I bought and made sure there was no milk in case I made a turkey sandwich, then G-d just might overlook that taco I ate that I "forgot" to order without cheese. If I'd had a particularly rough week, G-d would not begrudge me a small shrimp cocktail. And maybe, just maybe, if I didn't eat that sausage, egg and cheese McMuffin that desperately desired, then G-d wouldn't be sat at me for dating a non-Jew. I saw it as give and take, weighing my options and choosing the lesser of two evils. That way, I got instant gratification; I felt that my kosher decisions were impacting my life now, rather than waiting for their benefits on Judgment Day. This has become my permanent view of how things work. Instead of being bitter about the foods I'm no longer allowed to enjoy every day, I can withstand cravings easier because I haven't completely abolished those foods from my life. I've never had a one-on-one with G-d, so I have no idea how He feels about the whole set-up. However, I've gotten no indication that He's severely upset. Some people might call it cheating. Frankly, it just might be. But it's the only way I can justify the importance of a kosher diet in my life. I'm healthier because of my switch to a more kosher diet, but I'm happier because of my new way of approaching it. Nothing else really matters. Now pass me an egg roll. It's been a rough week. verely ight ly, 's y 03. 01.2007 JAYPLAY < 19 Weekly Specials @ Kansan.com Thu Fri Sat Sun Mon Tues Wed $.99 Draws (including Boulevard Wheat) 1/2 price Margantas$ 3 Amaretto Sours $5.24oz.

Football schools try for basketball power while Kansas does opposite BY MARK DENT When Tom Hof, Ohio State's associate athletic director, found out a reporter from Lawrence had called him, he wanted to make sure he returned the call. Hof used to be the ticket manager for the Kansas Athletics Department in the early 1980s. He gushed about how he met his wife there and how much he enjoyed living in the city. Hof definitely misses Lawrence, but it's doubtful that he would even want to think about leaving his situation right now. You see, Ohio State is the envy of just about every other college in the country. The Buckeyes made it to the BCS National Championship game in football this year before losing to Florida, and the basketball team is currently ranked No.1 in the country. For the second straight season, the Buckeyes have locked up Big 10 titles in football and basketball. Ohio State has done what few other college athletic programs have — it has built basketball and football programs that have been consistently successful. "There's a tremendous amount of pride," Hof said. "Pretty much the entire community is proud. It's great a time to be a Buckeye." It's a goal that Kansas has not been able to achieve, but is working toward. TWO IN ONE The Aggies are tied for second place with Texas and beat the Jayhawks at home last month.

They built consistently good basketball programs without compromising any of their football tradition. Texas won the national championship in 2006 and was a late season slide away from winning the Big 12 for the second season in a row last fall. A&M has been somewhat down compared to the days of Bear Bryant, but the Aggies had their best year under coach Dennis Franchione last fall. SEE FOOTBALL ON PAGE 8A 》 WOMEN'S BASKETBALL Freshmen crucial for win against Missouri BY ASHER FUSCO A late season match-up between two of the worst teams in the Big 12 Conference might seem irrelevant, but Kansas coach Bonnie Hendrickson sees the importance of tonight's game at Missouri. "We're still playing hard!" Henrickson said. "This game is potentially a great momentum builder." Along with crucial momentum for next week's conference tournament, the winner will take home border showdown bragging rights. Kansas lost the last time the teams met, 67-57, but the Feb. 14 game was close until the final minutes. If the Jayhawks can exact some revenge, it will be Henrickson's fourth victory against the Tigers in seven tries. In that game, Kansas had no answer for Missouri center EeTisha Riddle. The 6-foot-3-inch forward scored 15 points, tallied 12 rebounds and dished out six assists. Kansas junior guard Taylor McIntosh got into foul trouble early and tentatively guarded Riddle for much of the contest. "They just took control of the game early," Henrickson said. "We couldn't defend Riddle." Riddle is the Tigers' most potent offensive weapon, but she is not the only standout the lashawks will have to deal with. Forward Carlyn Savant and guard Tiffany Brooks present tough match-ups for Kansas freshman forward Danielle McCray and freshman guard Kelly John. Savant and Brooks are averaging more than 11 points per game, and Savant is averaging eight rebounds per game. Kansas will counter Missouri's capable offense with a group of players who have started to fulfill their potential in the past several weeks. Freshman forward Sade Morris, Kohn and McCray have become one of the best young trios in the conference. McCray has been the most efficient Jayhawk during conference play. She makes 38 percent of her three-point attempts and scores 12 points per game. Considering senior guard Shaquina Mosley is recovering from a concussion and may not play tonight, Kohn will need to step up and put the offensive load on her shoulders.

Texas defeated Texas A&M Wednesday night, leaving Kansas in sole possession of first place in the conference. To win the title, the lajayhaws must win their last game of the season — against the Longhorns. The two teams face off at 11 a.m. Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse. If Kansas loses to Texas, the two teams will tie for the conference championship. Texas A&M could then create a three-way tie by defeating Missouri later that day. Jayhawk coach Bill Self isn't going to get caught up in the math, though. "The good thing is, we know we have a chance to play for the league title" he said.

The completion date is set for December 2008. Strong, Wescoe and Fraser Halls will be the first buildings to receive wireless. The expansion, which has a price tag of $2.6 million, will begin immediately, and Denise Stephens, vice provost of Information Services and chief information officer. The new blanket of wireless will be in all academic areas, such as classrooms, academic labs and common rooms, Stephens said. Student Senate passed a bill on Jan. 31 securing funds for the initiative. Students will see an increase in campus fees of $5 each semester for the next five years, which will be about $254,000 a year. The University agreed to match student funding and foot the bill for operations and maintenance. The first stage of the project will likely go unnoticed. It begins by setting up the technical equipment changes to support the expansion; With funding in place, work will begin on the back end. Stephens said. Stephens said. "The campus currently receives about 16 percent wireless coverage," Stephens said. "When the expansion is completed, we will have close to 100 percent coverage." Allison Lopez, public relations and marketing manager for Information Services, said there will be 700 new wireless access points installed during the expansion, increasing total access points to 900. "This reflects the time we live in," Stephens said. "People want access to networks and their information Stephens said the expansion came at the right time. wherever they are." Lopez said a larger list of buildings getting the expansion will be available later this spring. Clay Turner, Tulsa, Okla., senior, agreed that students should be able to access the Internet no matter where they were on campus. "Sometimes the signal in Wescoe is so low you can't get access," Turner said. Kansan staff writer Ashlee Kieler can be contacted at akieler@kansan.com.

Installation of a new waterline will disrupt parking and traffic on parts of Massachusetts Street downtown this spring and summer, but the work should be wrapped up by early fall. by the weekend of commencement which takes place May 20. The project is a continuation of the waterline replacement that limited parking and traffic on Massachusetts Street from Seventh to Ninth streets last summer. The project began in other downtown areas two years ago. Immediately after commencement, work would begin on Massachusetts Street from 11th to Ninth streets. The city hopes to be done with this section by early September, in time for the start of the football season.

The group will be giving out free Krispy Kreme donuts to the first 750 students who arrive at Allen Fieldhouse, starting at 9 a.m. A live band featuring three KU football players will play before the game. Christian Moody will speak about the groups priorities to the students who show up. Rock Chalk Responsible Choices is a student group funded by a $2.75 million grant given to the NCAA from Anheuser-Busch to help prevent alcohol abuse on college campuses. The Rock Chalk Responsible Choices group at Kansas aims to "combat the irresponsible choices that can arise in a perceived thriving party scene," according to www.ncaa.org. Nick Sterner, the group's president, said he wanted to increase awareness about future events and entertain students in an alcohol-free environment. "We just want to add to the atmosphere, give everybody some sugar and hopefully get people pumped up for the game." Sterner said. Dan Parker, McPherson junior, camped out with a group from Pearson Scholarship Hall for the game and said he would be there Saturday morning for the event. "I'll be up here camping out anyway, so it's nice to have something to do other than working on my homework." Parker said. Sterner said the group planned to host pre-game events for football games next fall as well, possibly featuring a band playing on the hill.

Who needs partying on a beach when you can see the world's largest ball of twine or the world's largest hand-dug well? Small towns in Kansas often have some sort of unusual attraction to lure drivers off the roads and out of their cars. In Sedan, it's a yellow brick road. In Greensburg, it's a thousand-pound meteorite and a really deep well. It doesn't really matter how exciting the diversion sounds, travelers like Lindsay Cullen, Madison, Wisc., sophomore, said sometimes it's just nice to get off the road. "You want somewhere with shade, because it's hot outside." Cullen said. "When I'm just bored in the car, I need to get out." The World's Largest Ball of Twine Take the world's largest ball of twine, for example. Located in Cawker City, it was started in a barn by a bored farmer. The ball is made of nearly 8 million feet of twine. It has been a work in progress since 1953, and Linda Clover, official caretaker, said anyone could add to it free of charge. The following six places may not be as exciting as Cancun, but they sound interesting. "Ive found yarn on it. I've found string on it. I've found a little bit of everything on it." Clover said. The ball is so large it was moved to its own roofted area. Now it's accessible 24 hours a day. Clover said that the ball was surprisingly popular with students. The Dalton Defenders Museum "During spring break they just come here like crazy," Clover said. "It's just lots of fun. We know people joke about it, but we don't mind that." In Coffeyville, tourists can go to the Dalton Defenders Museum. The museum honors the brave citizens of Coffeyville that died in a gunfire with the Dalton brothers.

As temporary residents of Women's Transitional Care Services, they live together, pool their resources and make friends with one another. Blood, bruises, depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder aren't uncommon here. This is the struggle that Eva Vlach, volunteer program director for WTCS, has seen countless women endure. "It's very amazing to see how in six weeks, a woman will go from having a trash bag over her stuff to having a job and a life," she said. A small group of students at the University of Kansas are organizing a talent and performance show to help victims of domestic violence. Maria Thorson, Milwaukee graduate student, helped organize the show, called "Genius of Women." Donations will go to the Salvation Army to help abused women and children. Liz Miller, graduate teaching assistant in women's studies, said violence against women was still very pervasive in society and at times went unreported. The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence Web site said that in 2001, women comprised 85 percent of domestic abuse victims. Vlach said women went back to their abuser an average of seven times before they left permanently. Love, poverty and religion were all reasons why women returned to their abusers. "You don't go to the shelter if you have some kind of a safety net," she said. Vlach said the goal of WTCS was to help connect women with the resources they needed to meet their goals. Sometimes all they needed was a place to stay. Women sometimes stayed in an abusive relationship for the safety of their children, Vlach said. Women often brought their children with them to the shelter. At times they outnumbered adults. Some of the children were angry, some were sad; others were embarrassed just to live at the shelter Still. Vlach said children were exceptionally resilient. "It's amazing how strong they are in those situations," she said. Generally, children who get settied into the shelter get into school and do quite well. Vlach said. However, domestic abuse can set off defiant actions, clingy tendencies, withdrawal, bed-wetting and bullying in children. Thorson brought the "Genius of Women" idea from Saint Louis University where she helped organize a similar talent show. This is the first year for the show at the University, but it is something Thorson hopes will be an annual event. The show, free to the public, will take place at 8:30 p.m. March 30 in the Murphy Hall choir room. It will feature students performing monologues, original musical compositions, dancers and poetry.

Edited by Trevan McGee 》 REFUGEE CAMP Critics question conversion Evangelical Christians work to spread religion in Africa "We want to bring these children to Christ." Pastor George Pukwerkiy BY KATY POWNALL ASSOCIATED PRESS Aler, Uganda — "Telephone to Jesus. Hello?" the children of Aler refugee camp sing, their bare feet thumping the ground as they dance wildly in their concrete chapel. Most camp residents have never used a phone, but they are learning about Jesus. The Rev. Franklin Graham, son of famed evangelist Billy Graham, smiled as he watched the children — members of a club run by Samaritan's Purse, the Christian missionary organization he leads. Christian evangelicals have been coming to Africa for centuries. Critics accuse them of taking advantage of vulnerable communities — forcing people to abandon traditional beliefs in exchange for desperately needed goods and medicine. Graham, though, says his group is meeting spiritual as well as physical needs, and he's proud of what has been accomplished. told Graham. "You have a pastor's heart," the American responded, slapping him on the back. Purkweri said the war in northern Uganda has exposed children to many horrors. "This generation is our hope for the future," he said. "They are seeing lots of bad things that divert them from Christ and can corrupt their hearts. We bring them back." Graham flew his private jet to East Africa last month with a 20-member delegation, including former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, to check on the work of Samarian's Purse. Randall Balmer, professor of American religious history at Columbia University, said the influence of groups like Graham's can be far-reaching. "One of the most common criticisms of evangelicals is that they are looking for cultural conversions as well as spiritual ones," he said. "They want to change the way people dress and behave." Graham, however, is adamant that his organization helps the world's sick and suffering regardless of their religious beliefs. Humanitarian assistance only earns the Christians a hearing for the gospel they teach, he said. As a minister, he said, "I want to help people physically, I want to help them with their hurt, with their pain, but I want to do that so I can tell them about God's son, Jesus Christ. The conversion we do is through persuasion, through reasoning. ... They will receive material help from us regardless." Samaritan's Purse receives the vast majority of its considerable funding from private donations, which enables Graham to operate independently and quickly. "Financially I'm not dependent on government, which is why I'm free to preach the Bible," Graham said. "Our money comes from Christians. ... An average gift would be under $100 dollars a year, but we have millions of people who support us. That gives us an advantage because when there is a crisis. I don't have to wait and write a proposal." TELECOMMUNICATIONS Wireless companies take tax fight against Missouri cities to court BY DAVID TWIDDY ASSOCIATED PRESS phone customers. KANSAS CITY, Mo. — With up to $600 million at stake, wireless companies have filed suit against hundreds of Missouri cities in the past month, claiming they're paying taxes that they shouldn't be. The wireless companies' answer? We don't sell telephones. At issue are local laws, created in the 1940s and 1950s, that allow cities to levy taxes and fees on tele- "Our technology was not around when these were made. Our technology is based on radio waves," said Cheryl Bini Armbrecht, a spokeswoman for Verizon Wireless, which has filed suit against cities in Cass, Clay and Jackson counties. Sprint Nextel Corp. has filed its own round of suits in 51 cun- ties. Both companies are seeking a refund of telephone taxes they've paid under protest since last year. "What were saying is for these laws to be extended to wireless, there needs to be a new law approved by voters," said Sprint Nextel spokesman John Taylor. Gary Markenson, executive director of the Missouri Municipal League, disagrees with the companies, pointing out that at least part of a wireless call travels over regular telephone lines. "A cell phone is a telephone," he said. "Since these telephone taxes were put into place, there've been all sorts of changes _ cordless phones, car phones and now cell phones. This is an issue wed like to see decided by the court." The decision could have big ramifications for the loser. Markenson estimates cities take in $50 million to $60 million in taxes from traditional landline customers every year — a figure that's been dropping as people switch to wireless or Internet telephones — and believes cell phones could generate $75 million more. If judges agree the tax applies to cell phone companies, they could be on the hook for $300 million to $600 million in back taxes, he said. Cities began suing wireless companies five years ago, seeking payment of those taxes. The General Assembly tried to resolve the issue in 2005, passing a law that prevented local governments from collecting the back taxes and limiting what they could charge in the future. But the Missouri Supreme Court last year overturned the law as unconstitutional. PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO REVIEW OUR RESUME. Naturally, you want your nursing career to get off to a great start.

"We are really hoping to rest recreate the success we had last year, he said. Gieselski said the waterline being replaced was more than 120 years old. He said the new lines would make it easier for businesses to install fire sprinkler systems.

The plan will go before the city commission Tuesday for approval. "What happens to downtown happens to all of us, good and bad." Schumm said. Edited by Kelly Lanigan >> IRAQIWAR Militants could join Taliban BY TOM RAUM ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON—VicePresident Dick Cheney said Thursday night that a too-soon withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq could send victorious militants spreading out with some flocking to Afghanistan to fight alongside a regrouping Taliban. He demanded that the Democratic-controlled Congress support President Bush's military buildup "on time and in full." Speaking before a receptive audience of conservatives, the vice president — just back from a trip that included unannounced stops in Afghanistan and Pakistan — sharply criticized efforts by some Democrats to restrict funds for additional troops or to place restrictions on their deployment. While noting that the House had already passed a nonbinding resolution, tion voicing opposition to Bush's Iraq policy. Cheney said that "very soon both houses of Congress will have to vote on a piece of legislation that is binding." The legislation would, among other things, help pay for the additional 21,500 troops Bush is sending to Iraq. "I sincerely hope the discussion this time will be about winning in Iraq, not about posturing on Capitol Hill. Anyone can say they support the troops, and we should take them at their word. But the proof will come when its time to provide the money and the support," Cheney said. "We expect the House and the Senate to meet those needs on time and in full." The vice president spoke at an annual dinner of the Conservative Political Action Conference. The audience included conservative activists, leaders and policymakers Cheney mentioned his just-ended visits to Afghanistan and Pakistan. In Afghanistan, a bombing at the gate of the military base where the vice president was staying killed 23 people, including two Americans. The Taliban claimed the attack was aimed at Cheney, but officials said it posed no real threat to him. During his visit to Pakistan, Cheney expressed concern to President Gen. Pervez Musharraf over al Qaida's regrouping inside Pakistan's tribal regions and an expected Taliban spring offensive in neighboring Afghanistan. "If our coalition withdrew before Iraqis could defend themselves, radical factions would battle for dominance. The violence would likely spread throughout the country and be very difficult to contain. Having tasted victory in Iraq, the (militants) would look for new missions. Many would head for Afghanistan to fight alongside the Taliban." Cheney said. ENTERTAINMENT Radio station pays for Brown's release from jail CANTON, Mass. — Bobby Brown's release after three nights in the county jail was the result of a radio station paying the $19,150 the R&B singer owed in late child-support payments and court fees, the station said Thursday. Hot 99.5 FM, which broadcasts in the Washington D.C.area, intervened following on-air discussion and two days of negotiation with Brown's attorney, the host of the stations "The Kane Show," told The Associated Press. "In exchange for the money, he agreed to be an employee of our radio station for one week," where he will discuss what he did wrong and how he could turn his life around, said Kane, who goes by one name. "We are going to have a very open and candid conversation." Brown was released at 7:45 p.m. Wednesday. A judge had ordered Brown held in the Norfolk Brown will travel to Washington D.C. and be on the air with Kane for the morning show beginning Monday. He also will make public appearances for the radio station County jail in Dedham until he paid after constables arrested the singer while he was watching his daughter's cheerleading competition at a local high school. "Once Friday rolls around, he's done and released — and he's on his own," Kane said. Associated Press STRANGE (CONTINUED FROM 1A) The Dalton's were notoriously bank and train robbers of the late 1800s. After robbing a Coffeville bank in 1882, the townpeople killed a few of the brothers and ended their reign of terror. There is still an old jail in the alley next to the museum, where one of the surviving Daltons was held. 54 Samuel Dinsmoor stands in front of a segment of his concrete Garden of Eden. Dinsmoor created the sculpture garden in 1902 and was mummified after his death in 1932. Woody DePontier, manager, said that the museum holds a special reenactment of the event every year. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO "We have a shoot out every October (and) kill the Dalton's again." DePontier said. "Everybody comes out to watch." In the museum visitors can also see a replica of what was once the largest piece of hail ever recorded. Debontier said that although a new piece of hail found in Nebraska was bigger, Coffeyvilles was still the heaviest. The museum costs $3 to enter and is open 9 p.m. to 5 p.m. except on major holidays. The Dalton Gang Escape Tunnel Travelers that are interested in the Daltons can stop by the Dalton Gang Museum and Escape Tunnel in Meade. Run by Marc Ferguson, the museum is built next to a house owned by Eva Dalton in the 1880s. Years after she sold the house in 1892, the new residents discovered a secret tunnel leading from the house to the barn 95 feet away. Ferguson said the tunnel was found under the floorboards of the pantry. While it's original size required a grown man to hunch to get through, the tunnel has been expanded to allow tourists access. Visitors can check out the tunnel from 9 p.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sundays. It is closed on major holidays. Admission is $2. "It's a real piece of history here." Ferguson said. "It's very scenic. It's just a fun place. Plus I usually dress like a cowboy." The Big Well and Thousand-Pound Meteorite Although the meteorite weighs more than one thousand pounds, it Greensburg is the site of a thousand-pound meteorite and a deep well. The Big Well Tourism Center offers visitors a chance to descend 109 feet down. The meteorite can be seen in the guest shop. Karen Martin, manager, said that the meteorite was found by a farmer in 1949 with the help of a mine detector. is only about 17 inches tall and 20 inches wide. Martin said it was 4.6 billion years old, having fallen to Earth 20,000 years ago. "Think about this, we have a well that's 109 feet under the Earth, and we have a meteorite that fell from way out in the universe somewhere." Martin said. "Isn't that funny? It's kind of like we have the whole universe covered from top to bottom." Both attractions are open to the public from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and 9 a.m. to noon Sunday. Admission to the well is $2, the meteorite is free. The Garden of Eden One of the oldest tourist attractions in Kansas is The Garden of Eden. Located in Lucas and created in 1907, the garden consisted of about 150 concrete sculptures that ranged from 18 to 40 feet in height. Lynn Schneider, tour guide, said that all of the sculptures were created by Samuel Dinsmoor. Dinsmoor himself was actually mummified inside the garden after his death in 1982. His corpse is still visible through glass. "It has some very interesting views," Schneider said. "It's considered quirky. People can't hardly believe they're going to see him in his coffin." Tours are offered for $6. The garden is open from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. in March and April. Hours change depending on the season. The Yellow Brick Road Movie fans looking for Oz can travel down the Yellow Brick Road in Sedan free of charge. Nineteen years in the making, the road is four-feet wide and almost a mile long. Nita Jones, tourism volunteer, said that the road was made up of 11,700 bricks. Each brick is 8x11 inches, and can be purchased and personalized for $25. "We have a celeb section. Bricks have been purchased by Bob Hope, Whoopi Goldberg," Jones said. "People put all kind of sentimental messages on there." Jones said that it was the world's largest yellow brick road, weaving through sidewalks of downtown Sedan. On May 26 of every year, the town has a festival in which Dorothy look a likes go down the road in a parade. Kansan staff writer Joe Hunt can be contacted at jhunt@kansan. com.

Across campus and at the University of Kansas Medical Center, $300 million worth of "deferred maintenance" waited patiently. Most of the needed repairs are in Lawrence. Last week, the Lawrence journal- World listed numerous expenditures to renovate Strong Hall, some of which seem superfluous. For example, a $1,300 icemaker wax added to the kitchen and three radiator covers to the provost office totaled more than $8,000. Seriously? With roots to repair, who need icemakers in Kansas winter weather? The provost's radiator covers probably keep his office toasty warm, but did they really require $8,000? Maybe the construction crew that built these covers, the University's Facilities Operations, should learn a few lessons from do-it-your- self guides. Online sites provide instructions for how to build a radiator cover for far less than $1,000. Wiser expenditures could have saved a few extra thousand for the pot hoiled parking lots or the tileless roofs. Not that a few thousand makes much of a dent in $300 million. With ever increasing maintenance projects at the University, the latest makeovers in Strong Hall could be perceived as an injustice to students. Despite that, the decision to renovate top administrator's office areas was reasonable. In fact, these administrative people understand something about deferred maintenance. The paint jobs in administrator's offices were the first in 13 years. One of the old kitchen sinks didn't work. The replaced furniture was more than 30 years old, and it wasn't even trashed — it was placed elsewhere on campus where furniture was older yet. The exorbitant cost of deferred maintenance is unfortunate, but it is not a result of bad budgeting. Yearly, new maintenance problems arise, and because the University lacks funds to address them, the cost of deferred maintenance on the Lawrence campus alone increases by $20 million per year. The state of Kansas provides only $4.4 million for its yearly upkeep. The University campus com prises 200 buildings and 1,000 acres. It's not easy to maintain. Students should credit our administrators for dealing with the problem and should allow them a little renovation on their own section of the campus without complaint. Deferred maintenance will just have to wait. Non-smokers deserve smoke-free campus Alison Kieler for the editorial board. COMMENTARY I thought I knew how long 20 feet was, but apparently I was wrong. There's a sign posted clearly on the doors of Malott Hall, which says, "SMOKE FREE ENTRANCE: No smoking within 20 feet." Yet every morning when I trudge up, I pass through a cloud of smoke, courtesy of a crowd of smokers huddled not three feet from the door. P. H. KIDNEY I understand it's cold and windy, and not the best condition to feed your habit. I'm sure smokers feel they should be able to smoke without snow blowing into their face or rain extinguishing their cigarettes. But the non-smoking students and faculty shouldn't be punished by their decision to smoke. We deserve to be able to walk to class in a smoke-free environment. Thankfully, some organizations are starting to respect that. BROSE GENTRY KANSAN COLUMNIST OPINION@KANSAN.COM On Sept. 1 of last year, the University of Kansas Medical Center's campus became smoke-free. This may seem like a drastic or controversial decision, but it's necessary if smokers refuse to follow posted restrictions. Most workplaces — approximately 70 percent, according to the American Lung Association — have gone to a smoke-free policy. Though much of campus is outside, we all still have to walk to class. There's no way around that. Therefore, the entire campus can be seen as one entity, much like an office, which is why it's not unreasonable to make the entire campus smoke free. Some may view this as a restriction of personal liberties. However, smoking does not affect only you. When someone smokes a cigarette he or she is also forcing others to accept the consequences of the bad decision. According to the American Lung Association, even short exposure to second-hand smoke can cause "blood platelets to become stickier, damage the lining of blood vessels, decrease coronary flow velocity reserves, and reduce heart rate variability". As a result, non-smokers that are exposed to secondhand smoke regularly are 25 percent more likely to have coronary heart diseases. Secondhand smoke also contains many of the same chemicals found in first-hand smoke, such as "formaldehyde, vinyl chloride and arsenic ammonia." According to Cancer Research UK, an independent organization dedicated to cancer research, arsenic ammonia kills the lungs cilia, tiny hairs that line the airways and clear toxins. With fewer cilia, it's much easier for toxic chemicals to stick in the lungs. Non-smokers are being subjected to similar health risks, but we have no choice in the matter so I have no sympathy for smokers who complain about the possibility of not being able to smoke on campus. Hopefully, the University will eventually recognize the benefits of making our campus smoke-free. Until that happens, smokers should obey posted restrictions. I'm sorry that smokers have an addiction that needs to be fed, but my lungs are pink, and I like to keep them that way. Smoke if you must. Just don't do it where other people have to breathe your smoke against their will. Gentry is a Kansas City, Kan., sophomore in English.

Grant Snider/KANSAN >> COMMENTARY Criminalizing leaving children in cars unfortunately necessary Every day in the United States, mothers, fathers and baby sitters leave children alone in the car. It might be for 10 minutes, or it might be for an hour. Regardless, it shouldn't happen. Last week, the Kansas Senate Transportation Committee reviewed a bill that would require anyone who leaves a child in the car to pay a $25 fine. The bill states that, "it shall be unlawful for any driver who is 16 years of age or older to leave a child 8 years of age or less unattended and unsupervised in a motor vehicle." Offenders could pay as much as $500 if they leave a child in the car more than once within three years. BY KAITLYN SYRING The bill is a positive one, and one that I support. However, it's unfortunate that the bill is necessary. It's sad that this is a problem in the U.S. KANSAN COLUMNIST OPINION@KANSAN.COM When I was little, my mom and dad carted my older sister and me everywhere. If Mom had to run errands, we went. Megan would climb in the car while Mom held me, and, together, they would get my car seat adjusted. Then, I'd get buckled up. Mom would make sure Megan had her seat belt on and say, "I love you, buckle up." Megan had learned the phrase in kindergarten class. Then, off wed go to the grocery store OPINION@KANSAN.COM or the video store or Dillard's. Mom would perform the tedious task of getting me out of the car seat, only to put me back in after 10 or 20 minutes in the store. It didn't matter. We were going in with her. She liked having us along, and we sure loved going. We had very astute feedback for lipstick selections and macaron brands. It was the same with my Dad. If he wanted to go to the driving range, we went with him. He didn't mind going through the car seat rigmarole. He enjoyed having us along, even when we threw his golf balls so we could leave earlier. Those trips are my favorite memories and his favorite stories to tell. Maybe Megan and I were just lucky. But that shouldn't be it. Don't mothers and fathers want to take their children along? Is enforcing a fine the only way children can get out of the car? When parents leave their children in the car, they miss According to Kids and Cars, a nonprofit organization dedicated to preventing deaths of children in non-traffic, motor-vehicle-related accidents, 219 children in the U.S. died last year from incidents that involved being left unattended in or around a motor vehicle. This year, the total is 12 deaths, as of Feb. 18. These fatalities include being backed over, being strangled by power windows and developing hyperthermia or heatstroke from a car that was too hot or too cold. out on great times. However, if the company of children is not enough incentive, leaving children in the car is a safety issue as well. Children left alone in cars are also at risk of abduction. The Kids and Cars Web site features several articles about children who were abducted this way. Mothers, fathers, baby sitters, just don't do it. Don't leave children unattended in a car. It only takes a few minutes for something awful to happen. Take the children with you. Such a simple act keeps them safe and could turn in to a priceless memory for all. >> TALK TO US Gabriella Souza editor 864-4854 or gsouza@ikansan.com Nicole Kelley. managing editor 864-4854 or nkelley@kansan.com Courtney Hagen, opinion editor 864-4924 or chagen@ikansan.com Patrick Ross, managing editor 864-4854 or pross@kansan.com Natalie Johnson associate opinion editor 864-4924 or njohnson@kansan.com Lindsey Shirac, business manager 864-4014 or ishirack@kansan.com Jackie Schaffer, sales manager 864-4462 or jschaffer@kansan.com Malcim Gibson, general manager, news adviser 184-367-2667 email us at malgimgibson@hotmail.com Jennifer Weaver, sales and marketing adviser 864-7666 or jweaver@kansan.com >> SUBMISSIONS The Kansan welcomes letters to the editor and guest columns submitted by students, faculty and alumni.

Sunday marked the holiday of Purim for the leishish religion. Purim celebrates the deliverance of Jews from Haman and the King of Persia. Haman was an adviser to the king who persuaded him to decree the extermination of all Jews. Because Queen Esther revealed her Jewish identity to the king and appealed to him to save the Jews. Haman's plans were destroyed and he was hanged. jewish people now celebrate Purim as a day of utter happiness for overcoming their enemies, said Rabbi Zalman Tiechtel of the Chabad Jewish Center. "The universal message is, whenever we are faced with challenges, if we stand together as a community, we can overcome anything," said Tiechtel. "I like spending the holiday with my family, but here there's just one main place where everybody celebrates together." Members of the Chabad Jewish Center traveled around campus to bring the holiday to students in campus housing. Trechtel said the holiday was for everyone, and he hoped non-Jewish students would learn more about the celebration. Matt Rissien, Kansas City, Kan., sophomore, said the best part of Purim was that everyone enjoyed themselves with singing, dancing and eating. Rissien said a command for the The celebration also includes at least two readings of the Book of Esther, or Megillah, and a feast to close out the holiday. MATT RISSIEN Kansas City, Kan., sophomore holiday stated that Jews should drink until they don't know the difference between the vilain and hero of the Megillah story.

Edited bv Mark Vierthaler Research proves profitable 》 ENTREPRENEURSHIP Professors create companies, sell products based on their on-campus studies BY NATHAN GILL Some entrepreneurial professors at The University of Kansas not only teach classes and work in laboratories; they also sell the products of their research. James Baxendale, director of technology transfer and intellectual property, said KU researchers constantly produced and marketed products, from educational videos to new cancer drugs. Valentino Stella, professor of pharmaceutical chemistry, said he had invented and co-invented several pharmaceutical products that led to the creation of three different companies. One of those companies is Lenexa-based CyDex Inc., which found in 1993. CyDex uses Captisol, a molecule Stella invented at the University, which improves the solubility, effectiveness and safety of drugs. Captisol makes some drugs more effective in liquid form, allowing patients to better inhale, inject or ingest their medications. Captisol is used in four drugs that are sold commercially, including one that helps stop vomiting in dogs, Stella said. "I'm not just doing research," Stella said. "But 1 seem to have a knack for finding products." Susan Gauch, professor of electrical engineering and computer science, founded the company Veatros in 2002 with her husband John, who is also a professor of electrical engineering and computer science. She said their company sold computer software that allowed broadcasters and television advertisers to know where; when and how many times targeted commercials were played around the world. "its kind of like a commercial spotting system," Gauch said. She said their product assures advertisers that their commercials were being played and lets them know what their competitors were doing. Gauch said she and her husband ran Velatos out of the basement of their Lawrence home. Previous clients include Turner Broadcasting System Inc. Baxendale said successful companies based off University research yielded many benefits. He said they attracted faculty, revenue and notoriety to the University, created jobs for the community and ultimately helped people.

Police tracked down Stephen Grant about 225 miles north of the suburban Detroit community where body parts believed to be those of his wife were discovered. He was in stable condition and was being treated for frostbite and hypothermia under police guard at a hospital. Grant was wearing only slacks, a shirt and socks when he was captured nearly 10 hours after he abandoned a truck and set out on foot in Wilderness State Park near the tip of Michigan's Lower Peninsula, Emmet County Sheriff Pete Wallin said. He had no weapons and did not resist. "I don't think he probably could have made it much longer in those kind of conditions," Wallin said during a news conference. "I wouldn't want to be out there unless I was dressed for it." Grant, 37, will be returned to Macbeth County for arraignment in the death of Tara Lynn Grant, a 34-year-old businesswoman and mother of two who disappeared last month. A torso found in the family home and other body parts found in a park near their home were believed to be hers. Tara Grant last was seen Feb. 9, and police said the couple had argued that day over her business travels abroad. Her husband reported her missing five days later; he has steadfastly maintained his innocence. Macomb County Sheriff Mark Hackel said Stephen Grant fled in a friend's pickup Friday hours after police executed a search warrant on Grant's home. Police found Grant three miles from the truck.

He said that every citizen has the responsibility of improving the world. Clinton speaks in Manhattan Lecture focuses on stabilizing natural resources, conflict in Middle East, healthcare policy BY TYLER HARBERT MANHATTAN — Former President Bill Clinton said his lecture was going to be a trip through his mind. "It might be scary," Clinton said during his visit to Bramlage. Coliseum at Kansas State University. Clinton spoke to about 9,000 people Friday in Manhattan about national and international relations. He said the line between the two was fading. Clinton said every concerned citizen, regardless of political party or anything else, needed a framework for understanding how local actions affected global issues and vice versa. "I think we have to take care of us too, but we can't take care of America's next generation unless we take care of the world," he said. Clinton said he questioned himself regularly about how his actions affected a changing world. He said interdependence and sustainability were always outcomes he tried to reach. "The world we live in today, we just, we can't keep going this way," he said. Clinton cited top-soil erosion and under-stocked fishing areas as evidence of climate change, which he said was the predominant reason for instability. He also said that unlike the previous centuries, Americans constantly felt vulnerable because of Sept. 11 and fear of incurable diseases like bird flu. He said America needed a strong security policy to enforce and help create a more sustainable world. Then, he pointed to a group of several hundred soldiers from Fort Riley and Fort Leavenworth who attended the lecture. "We have to have a security policy like these people," Clinton said, and the coliseum erupted into applause. "You always got to have politics at work with the militants," he said. That part of the lecture hit home for Spc. Robert Mather, who is stationed at Fort Riley. He then said that during times of conflict, the military could only be successful if the U.S. had strong diplomatic solutions and strove for peace at the same time. Mather said heliked that Clinton gave soldiers a lot of credit during his speech. He particularly enjoyed when Clinton pushed for diplomacy instead of violence when dealing with a restless Middle East. "That means we don't have to leave our families and go do a bunch of nonsense?" Mather said. "We can't keep going with the health care system we've got," Clinton said. Another big issue for Clinton was universal healthcare coverage. He said that 60 percent of an American's income was spent on health care, and that no other developed nation spent more than 11 percent. He also said the U.S. insured 84 percent of its citizens while all other developed nations were able to insure all of their citizens. Clinton also touched on public education, job growth and the increasing role of technology in the workplace while fielding several questions from the audience. He ended his lecture by asking the audience who was responsible for improving the world. "Whether in or out of government, you are," Clinton said. >> STUDENT SENATE Kansan staff writer Tyler Harbert can be contacted at tharbert@ kansan.com. Bill passes to purchase more accessible buses next fall - Edited by Carissa Pedigo BY ASHLEE KIELER Students will see newer buses and new fees -when they return to campus in the fall. Student Senate passed a bill last Wednesday that increased student transportation fees $20 each semester to have money for new buses. The increase will bring in $1,015,160 each year. The referendum failed at a special election on Feb. 13 and 14 because too few students showed up to vote. Election rules state that 10 percent of the student body must vote for the referendum to be passed, but only 5 percent voted at the special election. The bill was also voted down by the Senate Finance Committee on Feb. 21, which kept it from going to full Senate. However, the Student Senate Executive Committee exercised its power to review the bill itself and passed it to full Senate. The first 30 buses purchased will be 10 to 15 years newer than those currently in use. The more modern buses will be equipped with wheelchair lifts or low-floor entrances and top exhaust. "It is important that Student Senate stepped up to the plate and made the move to acquire cleaner accessible buses for the bus system that they run", said Jessica Mortingen, Hays senior and Student Senate transportation board member. Katey Birge, Denver senior and president of AbleHawks, said the passage of the bill was historic because the University had been in violation of Americans with Disabilities Act standards. "Many students couldn't use the buses even though they paid the fees," Birge said, can use them." The newer buses will also influence the image of the University, said Jason Boots, Plano, Texas, senior and student body president. The condition, functionality and cleanliness of the buses affect vehicle "Now, everyone sions of the campus, he said. "We project a "We project a negative image with old buses that spew particulate matter and aren't suitable for our entire community." JASON BOOTS Student body president affect visitors' and students' impres- bility was such an issue because negative image with old buses that spew particulate matter and aren't suitable for our entire community." Boots said. Kate Edell, Rochester, Minn., junior, said she didn't realize accessi- ness issue of the lift vans in use. Boots said he expected to have the first fleet of buses running by next fall. He said he hoped to be able to purchase three brand new buses each year after that. "It's kind of a ridiculous to have to pay that much, but if it's more convenient, it's OK." Edell said.

LONDON — Paul McCartney and his estranged wife, Heather Mills McCartney, appeared in London's High Court Thursday for a preliminary hearing in their divorce case. Mills McCartney, 38, said nothing as she arrived at the courthouse for the closed session. The former Beatle arrived at the court's back door soon after. Mills McCartney left through a back door about half an hour later. McCartney whistled and snapped his fingers as he left the building after the two-hour hearing, flashing a peace sign to photographers stationed outside the court's parking lot before being driven off in a waiting car. The former model, 38, and the 64-year-old musician separated in May 2006 after four years of marriage and began divorce proceedings in July. They have a 3-year-old daughter, Beatrice. British law forbids publishing details of allegations in divorce cases. Mills McCartney began legal action against a number of media outlets after disparaging claims about her husband, alleged to have been contained in divorce court papers drawn up on her behalf, were reported in the press.

"That means we don't have to leave our families" and go do a bunch of nonsense. Mather said. Mather said he liked that Clinton gave soldiers a lot of credit during his speech. He particularly enjoyed when Clinton pushed for diplomacy instead of violence when dealing with a restless Middle East. Another big issue for Clinton was universal healthcare coverage. "We can't keep going with the health care system we've got." Clinton said. He said that 60 percent of an American's income was spent on health care, and that no other developed nation spent more than 11 percent. He also said the U.S. insured 84 percent of its citizens while all other developed nations were able to insure all of their citizens. Clinton also touched on public education, job growth and the increasing role of technology in the workplace while fielding several questions from the audience. FRI He ended his lecture by asking the audience who was responsible for improving the world. "Whether in or out of government, you are?" Clinton said.

Student Senate passed a bill last Wednesday that increased student transportation fees $20 each semester to have money for new buses. The increase will bring in $1,015,160 each year. The referendum failed at a special election on Feb. 13 and 14 because too few students showed up to vote. Election rules state that 10 percent of the student body must vote for the referendum to be passed, but only 5 percent voted at the special election. The bill was also voted down by the Senate Finance Committee on Feb. 21, which kept it from going to full Senate. However, the Student Senate Executive Committee exercised its power to review the bill itself and passed it to full Senate. The first 30 buses purchased will be 10 to 15 years newer than those currently in use. The more modern buses will be equipped with wheelchair lifts or low-floor entrances and top exhaust. "It is important that Student Senate stepped up to the plate and made the move to acquire cleaner accessible buses for the bus system that they run" said Jessica Mortinger. Hays senior and Student Senate transportation board member. Katey Birge, Denver senior and president of AbleHawks, said the passage of the bill was historic because the University had been in violation of Americans with Disabilities Act standards. "Many students couldn't use the buses even though they paid the The newer buses will also influence the image of the University, said Jason Boots, Plano, Texas, senior and student body president.

He said he hoped to be able to purchase three brand new buses each year after that. Kansan staff writer Ashlee Kieler can be contacted at akieler@kansan.com.

LONDON — Paul McCartney and his estranged wife, Heather Mills McCartney, appeared in London's High Court Thursday for a preliminary hearing in their divorce case. Mills McCartney, 38, said nothing as she arrived at the courthouse for the closed session. The former Beatle arrived at the court's back door soon after. McCartney whistled and snapped his fingers as he left the building after the two-hour hearing, flashing a peace sign to photographers stationed outside the court's parking lot before being driven off in a waiting car. Mills McCartney left through a back door about half an hour later. The former model, 38, and the 64- year-old musician separated in May 2006 after four years of marriage and began divorce proceedings in July. They have a 3-year-old daughter, Beatrice. British law forbids publishing details of allegations in divorce cases.

Outspoken critics of illegal immigration called for a bcoccott and said the bank could be supporting terrorists and drug traffickers. Some outraged customers closed accounts and sent back their cards, chopped into little pieces. The bank's chief executive, Ken Lewis, admitted that "finding oneself in the middle of a heated national debate is never pleasant." But Bank of America isn't the first to offer such a card: Citigroup Inc, said it has done so for years, and Wells Fargo & Co. says it's thinking about it. The cards are merely the latest progression for an industry that has spent millions to attract customers in the country's growing Latino community — and among the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants living in the United States. They also reflect a fact faced by every retail business in the United States. While they can't legally employ undocumented workers, there are few, if any, restrictions on welcoming them as customers. "As a business owner, you sell to whomever comes into your store. You sell to whomever buys from you online. It's easy, normally," said Steven Camarota, director of research at the Center for Immigration Studies in Washington. "Just in some cases where specific identification is needed, like in financial services, it's more complicated." But getting less so. Last month, Bank of America said it had started a pilot program in the Los Angeles area last late year that didn't require a Social Security number to sign up for a credit card. The Charlotte-based bank insists the card isn't specifically designed to attract illegal immigrants, and says that so far, it has not. The bank hasn't decided if it will offer the card elsewhere, but it would likely be popular with a population that generally lacks access to something as common in most American wallets as the dollar bill and a driver's license. large market," said Jim Johnson, director of the Urban Investment Strategies Center at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. "The bank is just the latest example of a major corporation recognizing the impact of doing business with Hispanics." "It's a no-brainer. It's a very In 2005, the nation's 6.6 million illegal immigrant families had an average annual income of $29,500 and accounted for nearly $200 billion in purchasing power, a figure that's only expected to grow, said Pew Hispanic Center demographer Jeff Passel. "They are impacting the economy," Passel said. "The unauthorized are explicitly coming for an economic basis." While credit card use among the nation's 42 million Hispanics is on the rise, a substantial number of Latino households don't have access to credit, according a survey conducted by the National Council of La Raza, which found that 80 percent of American households use credit cards compared with only 56 percent of Hispanic households.

Tornadoes kill 13 in Alabama ASSOCIATED PRESS ENTERPRIZE, Ala. — Apparent tornadoes killed at least 13 people in Alabama on Thursday, including eight at a high school where students were trapped under a collapsed roof, state officials said. State Emergency Management Agency spokeswoman Yasamie Richardson said eight fatalities "are in relation to the high school but whether they are all students or some students and teachers were not sure." WEATHER House Speaker Seth Hammett. at the statehouse in Montgomery, announced that five people had died at Miller's Ferry in west Alabama; where another apparent tornado tore into mobile homes. Martha Rodriguez, a 15-year-old sophomore, said she had left the school about five minutes before the storm hit. When she returned, a hall at the school had collapsed, she said. "The stadium was destroyed and there were cars tipped over in the parking lot and trees were ripped out. There were trees and wood everywhere. It was just horrible." she said. More than 40 people were brought in to an Enterprise hospital as a violent storm front crossed the state. The same system was blamed for a tornado that killed a 7-year-old girl in Missouri. Several school systems across Alabama closed or dismissed students early Thursday as the storm front approached from the west, extending the length of the state. "The clouds were so dark that all the lights out here came on," said Walter Thornton, who works at Enterprise Municipal Airport. ROCK CHALK SHAMROCK ...and more St. Patty's t-shirts available now.

Texas star draws comparisons to Kansas' legendary champion ANSAS 25 BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS OKLA 35 ASSOCIATED PRESS When Danny Manning led the layhawks to the NCAA title in 1988, he became the measuring stick for players who carry their team to greatness. KANSAN FILE PHOTO It's taken 19 years, but Texas phenom Kevin Durant might be the player to take the baton from Manning and establish a new standard for greatness in college basketball. The difference? Durant is an 18-year-old freshman. Anybody who is even remotely associated with college basketball is taking a turn heaping praise on Durant. Kansas coach Bill Self said he would be the best player in the conference — before he ever stepped onto the court in Austin. In 1988, Danny Manning led Kansas to its latest NCAA Championship. Can Texas' Kevin Durant, who is only a freshman, do the same for the Longhorns? So far he has averaged 24.7 points per game and has led his team to two victory vietnamese against OSU and TEXAS &M. "I think he's hands down the best player in the country, and probably the best freshman to ever have played, and probably the most talented college player in the last 30 years." Self said. "Name one senior more talented than this guy" Manning agrees, citing some of his childhood idols for comparison. The best "I like Oscar Robertson, Magic Johnson and Larry Bird," he said. "Kevin Durant is definitely in that echelon." "I said to him, 'Look. I don't want you to think that our success or failure is on you.'" Barnes said. "I was probably saying that to make him relax, because I didn't believe it for one second." Early in the conference schedule, as the national spotlight began to shine on Durant, he went into coach Rick Barnes' office to talk about the pressure. Barnes tried to calm the freshman's nerves. Durant is dangerous because he can dominate the game in several different ways. At 6-foot-9, he towers over opponents and leads the team in blocks. But he also has the versatility of a smaller player, and leads the team in steals. Even with all that, he's known for his scoring ability. He's averaging almost 25 points per game, and a graph of those shots wouldn't reveal any pattern. He can thunderdunk from under the basket, swish a hook shot from outside the paint and make three-point shots that drop the jaws of NBA players. Not that he'll tell you that, though. He hanged his chest after hitting a key three-pointer Wednesday night. "He told me, 'Coach, I don't want it to be about me. I have great teammates, and they deserve as much attention as I'm getting right now,'" Barnes said. which is about as much as he'll ever be seen hyping himself up. Talking to Barnes after the Villanova game, he questioned why the focus was on him. It's now rare to get Durant to agree to an interview, and when he does, he uses it as a platform to praise his teammates. When a Danny Manning vs. Kevin Durant Kevin Durant's 2006-07 season is almost statistically identical to Danny Manning's 1987-88 season. Here's a look at how the two years stack up.

But that doesn't stop other Big 12 coaches from singling him out for praise. SEE MANNING ON PAGE 2B Durant dominates conference history SINCE 2001 BY DREW DAVISON BY DREW DAVISON KANSAN COLUMNIST DDAVISON@KANSAN.COM March is finally here. The one month most college students dream of, from March Madness to spring break to spring training, has arrived. It is, without a doubt, the best month of the year. Saturday, the layhawks can start the month off right by winning the Big 12 regular season outright. Coach Bill Self has high hopes for the game. He said Thursday that he expected it to be one of the best atmospheres since held been at Kansas. Self wants it to be at the top of his list, up there with Michigan State in 2003, and Oklahoma State and Georgia Tech in 2005. While the students will pack into the Fieldhouse and cheer on the Hawks, there is one player that can take away the regular season title: Texas Kevin Durant. This isn't to knock on Texas guard D.J. Augustin, who is having a great year, too. But Durant is the one guy who creates match-up problems for Kansas, as well as every team he's faced. Self said sophomore forward Julian Wright would have the tall order of guarding Durant, at least to start. Wright is agile and athletic enough to guard Durant in the low post and on the perimeter. But the more interesting match-up would be putting freshman forward Darrell Arthur on Durant. That is, if Arthur stays out of foul trouble. Arthur is more physical down low and may be able to force Durant to take bad shots. But who an I kidding? Kansas should just hope to contain Durant with whomever it can The stats Durant averages are ridiculous; 25 points, 12 rebounds, 48 percent from the field and 41 percent from three-point range. This is unheard of, especially in the Big 12, where stat lines for forwards usually SEE DAVISON ON PAGE 2B BORDER WAR Late-game layup finalizes last victory BY ASHER FUSCO COLUMBIA, Mo. — With 56 seconds remaining in the game, Taylor McIntosh found herself in unfamiliar territory: the junior forward had the ball in her hands with the game on the line. McIntosh clutch layup broke a tie and helped propel the Jayhawks to a 70-66 victory against Missouri. After leading comfortably for most of the game, Kansas took control of the ball with just more than one minute remaining and the game tied at 64. Freshman guard Kelly Kohn drove hard to her right and dribbed past the defender. As Kohn approached the basket, several Missouri players attempted to wedge themselves between her and the hoop. With nowhere else to turn, she effortlessly dished the ball to McIntosh, who was standing alone in front of the rim. McIntosh's basket gave her 17 points, a career high. She made 8 of 10 field goals and pulled down five rebounds. McIntosh's assertiveness on the offensive end is a welcome change from the passive tendencies she often displayed earlier in the season. Despite her 50 percent field goal shooting, McIntosh rarely demanded the ball and infrequently attacked the boo. "We talked about Kelly taking a pull-up jumper," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "But Taylor was begging for the ball in the lane. Kelly made an unselfish read and a great pass."

Season opener rescheduled for Saturday This spring, Jayhawk baseball just isn't Jayhawk baseball without a little weather interference, and the Western Illinois series didn't break the trend. BY ALISSA BAUER On Thursday, Kansas pushed back the start of its home opener for the fifth time. The Western Illinois series, slated to start Saturday and finish with a double-header Sunday, has been changed. The double-header Sunday at Hoghund Ballpark still stands, but the series will wrap up Monday afternoon. Nevertheless, Kansas (7-5) is determined to finally get a game in at home.

Self said, "But Danny took that team and won a national championship, and those are six very important games." "I think he's hands down the best player in the country, and probably the best freshman to ever have played." Manning led the Jayhawks to the 1988 NCAA title as a senior, then played 15 seasons in the NBA. He or Wilt Chamberlain hold virtually every Kansas record, and former broadcaster Max Falkenstein said those were the two best players fed seen play for Kansas. Manning is currently on the Jayhawk staff as the director of student-athlete development. His numbers as a senior are almost directly comparable to Durant's as a freshman (see chart), but Manning gives the nod to Durant. BILL SELF Kansas Coach "He's so much better than me as a player. It's not comparable," Manning said. "He's filling up the stat sheet, and he buys into the team It's something that Manning got to practice three times before leading the Jayhawks to the title. He did it as a No. 6 seed Texas will likely enter the tournament much higher. Manning were to face Durant, what would the layhawk great do to stop him? "You can't," he said, shaking his head. "He does it all." He's the engine The task of guarding Durant on Saturday will go to sophomore forward Julian Wright, but he'll need some help. "We're not going to get into a one-on-one contest, because he's too talented." Wright said. Against Texas A&M, Durant was double teamed the entire time, but still managed to score 30 points in a double-overtime victory. Kansas will substitute players in and out throughout the game in the hopes of keeping a fresh player on him at all times. Wright said the team will try to limit his rebounding, but the layhawks know he will be hard to contain. "He obviously makes that team go," Wright said, " he's the engine." Don't expect a Jayhawk double team to be effective. Durant is used to being pushed and pulled from all directions. "Every single night people come at him with one guy, two guys or three guys," Barnes said. "For him to do what he's done has been amazing." Forget about class The Boston Celtics and the Memphis Grizzlies are batting for the title of worst team in the NBA. Yet when the draft comes around, neither of them will be losers. Durant and Ohio State's Greg Durant and Oden. Jr. are the two top prospects Coming into the season, the 7-foot Oden was the consensus No. 1 pick, but Durant's play this year has thrust him back into the conversation. It'a a topic that Durant isn't going to address until after the season. When he steps onto the Allen Fieldhouse court Saturday, Durant has the opportunity to take the first step in that journey and win a share of the Big 12 title. Regardless of the outcome, he'll likely sweep every important postseason award. "You can put what he's done That's the same way Manning left Kansas in 1988. Of course, Kevin Durant wasn't even alive when that happened. For now, the 18-year-old superstar is content to score 30 points a night, create just as many points for his teammates and let everybody else do the talking for him. small forward," Barnes said. "Kevin has been everywhere for us." "He'll have time when the Final Four is over with" Barnes said. "He just wants to enjoy what he's doing right now." "He told me,'Coach, I don't want it to be about me. I have great teammates, and they deserve as much attention as I'm getting." The last player to make it to the Final Four in a similar situation was Syracuse's Carmelo Anthony in 2003; but Anthony had a veteran supporting cast, and didn't have to carry the load for his team as often. up against any basketball player in the country," Barnes said. "Forget about class." RICK BARNES Texas Coach, speaking of Durant "They used Carmelo mostly as a The awards committees are ignoring Durant's youth, but it's not going to disappear anytime soon. In the near future, the measuring stick for college basketball greatness will have a new word on it. Freshman. 54567 Kansan senior sportswriter Michael Phillips can be contacted at mphillips@kansan.com. - Edited by Will McCullough DAVISON (CONTINUED FROM 1B) Self said Durant was the best player the Big 12 had ever had. Well, coach, let's think of some great Big 12 players: Kirk Hinrich and Paul Pierce, both former Jayshawks: Andre Emmett of Texas Tech: Maucer Fizer and Jamaal Tinsley of Iowa State; and T1. Ford of Texas. Of course, I'm leaving several off, but Self is right. The Big 12 hasn't seen a player dominate the wav Durant has. read 12 points and 11 rebounds. On top of that, he is arguably in the midst of the best season an individual has ever had in college basketball. Self went as far as saying Durant could carry Texas on his back all the way in the Big Dance, similar to what Danny Manning did for Kansas in 1988. I don't know if Texas is that good, but it might just be No doubt, on Saturday one of the best players college basketball has ever seen will play in the best venue in college basketball, Allen Fieldhouse. At least, as Self said, Durant won't be making a return trip. Luckily for Kansas and the Big 12, Durant is likely to jump to the NBA after the season. Note: Another good match-up, which has been overlooked because of Durant, is Augustin and freshman guard Sherron Collins, two of the premier point guards in the league.

Senior outfielder Kyle Murphy and junior outfielder John Allman are the only layhawks behind 300.* K Edited by Kelly Lanigan now, some effects still seemed to be lingering, namely against Oral Roberts on Tuesday. The 9-1 loss at the hands of the Golden Eagles was the worst this year. "It's definitely a little bit of a wake up call," senior center fielder Kyle Murphy said. "But we're making some mistakes that were not going to make in a couple months." Murphy also said he didn't think the team's confidence had dropped. Murphy was the only Jayhawk to score against Oral Roberts. He joins junior left fielder John Allman as one of only two Jayhawks hitting over .300. With only a pair of layhawks surpassing the .300 mark, the Leathernecks of Western Illinois will have the advantage at the plate. As a team, Western Illinois will enter the series hitting .308.

McIntosh said. "I've just been trying to make myself more available to get the ball." Junior guard McNittos was not the only layhawk upperclassman to record some impressive statistics Thursday night. Senior guard Shaquina Mosley recovered from a concussion suffered last weekend to score a career high 26 points on 11-for-23 shooting. Mosley's driving layup with less than 14 seconds on the clock put Kansas on top to stay. MIZZI 3 The stellar performances of Mosley and Mcintosh made up for the shaky defense of sophomore center Marija Zinic and a foul-plagued game from Kohn. Danielle McCray, freshman forward, takes a shot over the outstretched hand of a Missouri defender. Thursday night's win in Columbia moved the Jayhawks into the 11th seed going in to the Big 12 tournament. When Kohn picked up two fouls in the first two minutes of the game, Mosley rose to the occasion, scoring 12 points in the first half. If she was still feeling the effect of Saturday's injury, she hid it well. "I thought she was a little tentative at first with the ball," Henrickson said. "But later she started to look like the Shaq of old." Late in the first half, the Tigers managed to scrap together a 12-3 run by exploiting Zinic's lack of agility on the defensive end. During this three-minute stretch, Missouri forward EeTisha Riddle scored nine points to the Jaihawks' three. Fortunately for Kansas, freshman forward Danielle McCray was able to team with McIntosh to stop the bleeding and keep the lead at six points entering halftime. It was a close game for the entire second half, with Missouri grabbing its only lead, 43-42, with 14:28 remaining. From that point on, Mosley scored 10 points and McLintosh added six as Kansas put the finishing touches on its fourth victory of the conference season. Kansas' victory not only put a damper on Missouri's senior night festivities, but also gave the team the 11th seed in next week's Big 12 tournament. The Jayhawks' 4-12 conference record is tied for last in the Big 12 but by virtue of a tiebreaker, they push Kansas State to the bottom of the bracket.

The concussion she sustained would be no factor in stopping her from what she does best; making big plays when the Jayhawks need them. COLUMBIA, Mo. — Under normal circumstances, it would come as no surprise that senior guard Shaquina Mosley led Kansas to a 70-66 victory against Missouri. With 14:29 left in the second half, the Tigers took their first lead of the game off a three-pointer "We just needed this game really bad," Mosley said, "and I wanted to do everything in my power to help the team to win." "That was a lot of confidence in our medical staff," coach Bonnie Henrickson said, "and her trusting that we wouldn't put her in a situation where she was in danger." What made Mosley's career high 26-point performance on Thursday so impressive was that it came only five days after a concussion suffered against Colorado. Henrickson said the decision to play was ultimately up to Mosley. That decision wasn't very hard to make. As soon as Mosley found out she was cleared to play, she knew what she was going to do. from Marchele Campbell. Mosley answered by gliding to the basket to make sure the Missouri lead didn't last. "It's her ability to take off from the perimeter and hang and hang and hang." Henrickson said. "Not many people can hang with her." It wasn't only her ability to score that had an impact. Mosley displayed toughness and determination on the defensive end as well. The game was tied at 64 with 1:21 remaining when it seemed that the Jayhawks had just committed a costly turnover. But Mosley raced down the floor and dove on the loose ball to cause a jump ball, disregarding her own well-being for the sake of her team. With 15 seconds remaining the game was still tied. It was no surprise who Kansas went to when it needed something big to happen. Mosley raced from the top off the key to the right for a contested layup that bounced in to make the score 68-66. "It ites like every game with a couple of seconds left, I set a screen for her and she dribbles off and makes it," junior forward Taylor McIntosh said. "I'm just waiting behind her in case it doesn't go in but she always makes it." Despite ending her regular season career on such a high note, Mosley was more content with how Kansas overcame its adversity in the season. "It just feels really nice to get some wins in," she said. "Like I was saying earlier in the season after that seven-game losing streak, we're a better team than the way we were playing."

MEN'S BASKETBALL Triple threat coming to Kansas BY MARK DENT When Conner Teahan arrives in Lawrence this fall, he'll quickly find a counterpart in freshman guard Sherron Collins. Like Collins, who was a three-sport star in high school. Teahan hasn't found too many challenges when it comes to athletics. The Rockhurst senior is a scoring machine in basketball for his Kansas City, Mo., high school. He led his football team to the state semifinals as the quarterback when he was a junior. And as for baseball? Well, he doesn't actually play the sport, but that's only because he doesn't want to. "From what I've heard, he could've played baseball," Rockhurst basketball coach Mark Nusbaum said. "Supposedly he was a very good pitcher when he was younger." Also like Collins, Teahan decided to play basketball in college. He recently announced his intentions to walk on at Kansas next season. He joins McDonald's All American Cole Aldrich and Tyrell Reed, who plays on the Pump 'N' Run AU队 with Teahan, as members of Kansas' 2007 recruiting class. Teahan, who averages 25 points and 8 rebounds per game for his 18-9 Rockhurst team, received an offer from Wichita State and interest from Kansas State and Missouri. None of those teams enticed Teahan. His decision to become a Jayhawk was a nobrainer. "I've always watched KU and loved KU since I was a little kid," he said. "They made me feel like I was welcome and could be a contributor down the road." That's apparent judging by the complete game Teahan will bring to Kansas. At 6'5", he creates match-up nightmares on the basketball court. "He's not just a slasher, and he's not just a shooter." Nusbaum said. "If you get up on him, he'll take it to the hole. And if you back off him, he can shoot over you." Nusbaum also said people would be surprised by Teahan's athletic ability and deceptive quickness, skills that he honed from four years on the grid-iron. Rockhurst routinely has one of the top 25 teams in the country, and he has been the starting quarterback for the last two years. Teahan could have played the sport in college if he wanted, but he said basketball was always his true love. Football helped Teahan improve speed and it made him tougher, but he also said it was a distraction at times. I haven't been able to focus on bas ketball completely because of football." Tealan said. "I know my abilities and with only one focus, I think I'll be able to improve more." He may not get a chance to showcase his abilities on the court next season. Unless some Kansas players unexpectedly enter the draft, the layhawks will be stocked at Teahan's guard position. That's OK for Teahan, though. He knows his chances could be limited next year but sees plenty of opportunities down the road. Two or three years from now, he hopes to be playing significant minutes every night. "I'm just going to do whatever the coaches tell me to do," he said. "I don't know exactly what that will be, but I want to make the team better." Kansan sportswriter Mark Dent can be contacted at mdent@kansan. com. Edited by Trevan McGee 》COWBOY CUT Bledsoe, five others released BY DAVE GOLDBERG ASSOCIATED PRESS ASSOCIATED PRESS — As expected, the Dallas Cowboys cut Drew Bledsoe on Thursday. Bledsoe, who lost his quarterback job to Tony Romo after six turnover- and Tony plaged starts last season, was one of a number of aging players cut Thursday as teams adjusted their rosters to get more salary cap room for the free agent period that begins Friday. Joe Horn, one of the leaders of the New Orleans Saints during their 2005 season in Hurricane Katrina-enforced exile, also was cut. The 35 year old wide receiver, whose image did a 180-degree turn after Katrina forced the team from its home and left it to spend that year in Texas, was let go at his own request after he declined to take a pay cut. He could come back "Joe really wanted to see where his value is around the league for his services," general manager Mickey Loomis said. "With as much as Joe has meant to the Saints and to New Orleans, we don't want to impede his desire to do so, and we have kept the door open for him to return to our team." Among the other transactions Thursday: Wide receiver Keenan McCardell, who turned 37 in January, was released by San Diego. San Diego also let go two troubled players: linebacker Steve Foley, who missed the season after being shot by a policeman, and safety Terrence Kiel, who pleaded guilty last month to felony and misdemeanor drug charges for shipping codeine-based cough syrup to Texas. San Francisco waived receiver Antonio Bryant, just one season after signing him to a lucrative four year, free-agent contract. Bryant caught 40 passes for a team-leading 733 yards last season, but repeatedly ran afoul of coach Mike Nolan's disciplinary standards. Bryant was arrested in November after a wild escape in his orange Lamborghini, and he later angered Nolan for being late to a team meeting. Bryant ended last season midway through a four-game suspension for violating the NFLs substance-abuse policy. Pittsburgh cut linebacker Joey Porter, an outspoken sack specialist whose trash-talking was one of the subplots leading up to the 2006 Super Bowl, won by the Steelers.

Big 12 officials will be on hand with two conference championship trophies, but Kansas is hoping only one of them gets brought out. If the Jayhawks win, they win the title outright. Otherwise, they split it with the Longhorns and Aggies. Either way, it's the 50th conference title for Kansas—the most of any team in the country. STAR WATCH Sophomore guard Brandon Rush struggled in recent games, but coach Bill Self wasn't Rush ready to call it a slump just yet." He's in a little bit of a funk — that's a better word, he said. "I think he's put a little too much pressure on himself and when he does that he gets a little tentative." Rush has the perfect opportunity to break out during Saturday's game, as he is unlikely to go up against Kevin Durant for most of the game QUESTION MARK Will the freshmen handle the pressure? After a rough night on Wednesday, Sherron Collins and Darrell Arthur look to bounce back in front of a home crowd. A strong showing would also give them momentum heading into the tournament. 3 REASONS KUWINS ONE — Julian Wright is good. He's been inconsistent at times this season, but he'll come ready to play on Saturday for his biggest assignment of the year. Wright's success won't be measured in points, but rather in how well he can stop Durant. TWO — Home-court advantage. This will be the biggest home game of the year for Kansas, and the fans will respond accordingly. THREE — No senior night. It's one of those things that distracts the players, and in a big-game situation, nobody wants that. The Jayhawks won't have anybody thinking about their speech instead of their guarding assignment. COUNTDOWN TO TIP-OFF GAME DAY EYES OF THE BIG 12 ARE UPON THEM Kansas looks to secure outright conference championship KANSAS VS.TEXAS 11 A.M.Saturday, Allen Fieldhouse,CBS Kansas 26-4,13-2 Big 12 Offense After a strong showing from sophomore guard Mario Chalmers on Wednesday, all three of the Kansas guards have had big games in the month of February. We may get a glimpse on Saturday of who will take over the team in March. Coach Bill Self hasn't announced whether freshman guard Sherron Collins or junior guard Mario Chalmers will get the start, but it's a safe bet that both will play a significant share of minutes. On the inside, freshman forward Darrell Arthur had done a good job of staying out of foul trouble until Wednesday's game. He'll need to play significant minutes to keep junior center Sasha Kaun well-rested for his battles in the paint. Texas 22-7,12-3 Big 12 KU KU KU KU "A lot of teams have tried a lot of different strategies on him." Self said. "We may have to try them all." The player most likely to guard Durant is sophomore forward Julian Wright, who matches up well physically with Durant as a tall player who can also play outside of the paint. Wright can't do it alone, though, and when the Jayhawks focus on Durant, that's when his teammates shine. Defense The Jayhawk defense has traditionally been the team's strong point, but it's impossible to find an example of a team finding a way to contain the Texas offense. During Wednesday's game, Texas A&M switched to a triangle defense, but freshman guard A.J. Abrams started connecting from three-point range, rendering the Aggie defense useless. And all that is before you get to the problem of the Kevin Durant matchup. KU KU KU KU Offense Momentum It may be an 11 a.m. tip-off, but the Kansas crowd is going to come to the fieldhouse ready to go. Self said he expects the atmosphere to rival the three best games he's been to in the For anyone not named Kevin Durant on Texas, the offense used to be simple. Stand and watch Durant do whatever he wants. Then, if he gets stopped, hope you're open for a three-pointer. That's changed during the Longhorns' recent six-game win streak which culminated with a victory against Texas A&M Wednesday night. In that game, Durant still scored 30 points, but other Texas players were involved. DJ. Augustin scored 25, A.J. Abrams added 16 and Damion James finished with a career-high 22. The only downside is that the Longhorn bench only scored four points. And even if Texas resorts back to its Durant-watching ways, it is still good enough to at least challenge Kansas. Defense Defense is Texas' second priority. The Longhorns want to outscore teams rather than try to stop them. The reason for this is simple, none of their players are that good at defense. Durant is a terrific athlete, but he gets beat inside by bigger, physical players. Augustin is quick, but he's just a freshman and still needs to develop his defense more. Abrams and Connor Atchley are shooters and basically nothing else. Although Texas isn't the best of defensive teams, it can still play well in grind-it-out affairs. Last week, Texas beat Oklahoma 68-58 and beat Baylor 68-67 two weeks ago. Brandon Rush fieldhouse — against Michigan State, Georgia Tech, and two years ago against Oklahoma State. "I hope our fans would be just as excited about this game," he said. "It will be a fabulous atmosphere." He added that it would probably also be the only chance fans get to see Kevin Durant take the court at the fieldhouse. KU KU KU KU Michael Phillips E Momentum On "Pardon the Interruption" on Tuesday, ESPN analyst Jay Bilas said Kansas was the hottest team in the country right now. He may be right, but Texas is awfully close, especially after its win against A&M. No one would have thought the Longhorns would have the chance to play for the Big 12 title at the beginning of the season. Sure, Durant being a star was a no-brainer, but Texas had to replace five starters from last year. Rick Barnes should be in the discussion for Big 12 Coach of the Year because of the quick rebuilding job he's done this season. He's taken lots of talent and shaped it into a team that could make a run deep in the NCAA tournament. Durant will likely have a big game Saturday like he always does, but it's Texas' other players that will make the difference. If Augustin, Abrams and James step up again, the Longhorns have a great chance to pull an upset. Mark Dent UT TIP-OFF WHAT'S AT STAKE? If Texas wins, it will finish in first place with Kansas and Texas A&M. Perhaps more importantly, a victory tomorrow and a good performance in the Big 12 Tournament could give the Longhorns a three seed in the NCAA tournament. This one is a no brainer. STAR WATCH Kevin Durant should be the national player of the year. He is the best freshman to play college basketball in quite some time. Actually, he's one of the best players, regardless of class, to play. Durant is about more than stats, too. He's hit several clutch shots this season, including one that gave his team a four-point lead late in regulation PETER NOWA Durant Will Texas be exhausted? QUESTION MARK The Big 12 title is on the line, but the Longhorns could come out flat. They just played their best game of the season Wednesday night and might still be hungover. That game also took two overtimes to complete, so Texas could also be physically exhausted. And for a team that likes to run, that can't be good. 3 REASONS UTWINS ONE — The Longhorns got blown out of the water the last time they played in Lawrence. But in 2003, Kansas needed 24 points and 23 rebounds from Nick Collison to escape with a 90-87 victory. The Longhorns won't be intimidated by the Phog. TWO — Texas had made 34 more three-pointers than any other team in the Big 12. Plus, all of the Longhorns' players are a threat if let loose on the perimeter. Maybe it's just me, but it's a scary thought to envision Sasha Kaun having to guard someone tightly beyond the three-point line. THREE — Kansas ruined Texas' season twice last year. First, the Jayhawks took away their chances of being outright Big 12 regular-season champs by playing better down the stretch. Then, in the Big 12 Tournament, Kansas foiled Texas again by smacking the Long-horns around in the championship game. Texas can get Kansas back by winning Saturday and stealing a share of the Big 12 title. JAYHAWK STATS | Player | Avg. Min. | FG-FGA | 3FG-3FGA | FT-FTA | Avg.

TANGIER Collins Sherron Collins 5'11"200 vs. D.J.Augustin 5'11"175 BRENDAN MCGOWN Augustin Collins and Augustin are two of the best freshmen point guards in the country. Both guards are water-bug quick and can light it up from the outside. Augustin is coming off one his best performances of the season and has been playing better than he has all year during Texas' six-game win streak. Collins, known for stepping up in big games, fell flat Monday at Oklahoma. He didn't score a point. He'll have the opportunity to redeem himself against a worthy foe Saturday.

The victory gave Kansas its 50th conference championship and 1,900 program victory. Anna Faltermeier/KANSAN KU ku BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS 90 The Texas Longhorns were moving the ball through pressure defense easily, and star freshman Kevin Durant was making highlight-reel shots from everywhere on the court. So what did coach Bill Self do? He told his players to back off of Durant. "We said to make Durant beat us, because everybody else was lighting us up," he said. "Just try to keep the other guys under wraps." That, combined with a textbook example of the law of averages, fueled a second-half comeback that led to a 90-86 Kansas victory. The Longhorns shot 11-for-14 — 79 percent — from three-point range in the first half, including a perfect 5-for-5 from Durant. That number plummeted to just 19 percent in the second half. Meanwhile, the Jayhawks never dropped below 50 percent from behind the arc, not panicking or rushing shots during the Longhorns' hot streak. "It's a long game," sophomore guard Mario Chalmers said. "We just wanted to keep playing the way we were defensively."

A mystery triggered this week by the bizarre discovery of the carcass of a 3-foot-long shark in a freshwater river in northern Austria ended Saturday when a man confessed he had put it there as a joke. The prankster, an apprentice chef working at a hotel in the province of Upper Austria, told the newspaper Oesterreich that he put the dead shark in the river Voekckia after it began to smell while he was thawing it out for a buffet. The discovery earlier this week caused a stir, with Austrian experts hard-pressed to explain what a shark was doing in a freshwater river in the landlocked alpine country.

GREG GRIESENAUER MONDAY ENTERTAINMENT 'Entourage' actor speaks At Aspen comedy festival ASPEN, Colo. — Adrian Gremier says he isn't having to work hard playing Vince Chase on the HBO hit series "Entrantage." "This show is about friendship and having the time of your lives." Grenier said during an appearance for the U.S. Comedy Arts Festival. "All we have to do is have fun all day long." In Aspen to speak on a panel for the festival late Saturday, three of the shows leads and its executive producer dined at the hot spot Matsuhisa and partied at the private Caribou Club. Grenier, who has appeared in more than 20 films during his short career, said he has more in common with Chase than differences. "I always say I'm a B' actor playing an A-list celebrity," he said. "A lot of values of Vince's are like mine. Being true to your friends, being humble, appreciating your circumstances and loving New York." "Entrourage" follows the antics of Chase and his pack of lifelong friends who also double as his manager and go-fers as they navi gate a cutthroat Hollywood For a feast of omon bhagyes, chagati broads, biryans, papad- ums, a specially prepared fish dish and vegetables on the side, the bill will top $3,900, plus travel and accommodation for the restaurant's head chef.

MONDAY, MARCH 5, 2007 WWW.KANSAN.COM EDITORIAL: Twenty years ago students across the country were vocalizing their opinions. Today, many aren't physically speaking out. See Kansan.com for more opinions and Free for All comments THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN OPINION PAGE 7A 》 OUR VIEW Students need to voice their opinions Student protests that were so powerful in past decades have become all but non-existent here in America today. Maybe it's the new medium, maybe it's the issues or maybe it's just apathy. Today's student groups are either working for a cause so far detached from their every day lives or they're using various mediums to connect rather than standing on a street corner yelling with a sign. Students in Iran, Chile and many other countries still protest. American students are noticeably lacking in this category. While we do not see the atrocities day-in and day-out that many of these other active student protesting countries do, American students have an abundance of issues right here in the United States to get loud about. So why do we walk to class with our iPods in rather than a sign in our hand? Students in America have access to modern technology that allow them to post their frustrations on a blog. Instead of standing outside a local official's office with signs, students can protest by posting on a blog that speaks out against their issue of choice. Supporting the people of Sudan has been reduced to a Facebook group now. Acknowledging that the ethnic cleansing going on in Darfur is wrong is a start. Feeling passionate enough about the issue to take that extra step is even better. We're extremely lucky as Americans. We have it better than most. Yet, there are still many issues in our own backyard that need addressing. The old adage "Actions speak louder than words" is sometimes true. Letters, blogs and Facebook support shouldn't stop. However, there's something to be said about a group uniting under an issue that they all feel passionately about. Not to mention, people yelling with signs always garners attention. — Tasha Riggins for the editorial board.

While low-budget films often lack the thrill of computer-generated graphics, popular songs and famous actors (though this last trend is diminishing), the plots are most often character-driven, making the stories more detailed, intricate and intimate. These films are beautiful in how they capture the little moments of everyday life. They're not about some hero saving the day. They're about people making difficult decisions that affect the people around them. These films mirror everyday life more accurately by focusing on the problems of one or two characters. Sometimes, the problems are resolved, sometimes they're not. With Johnny Depp as the lead and special effects involved in Maryann B. BY JODI ANN HOLOPIREK KANSAN COLUMNIST OPINION@KANSAN.COM Most notable in low-budget films is the profusion of acclaimed actors jumping on the bandwagon. Years ago, when prominent actors were seen in low-budget, artsy films, rumors would circulate about their careers being in trouble. Now, famed actors vigorously search out films like "Crash" because they know it will add depth to their filmography. Their hard work for little pay has proven successful for them, too. Just last week, the Academy Awards gave the Best Supporting Actor award to Alan Arkan for his role in "Little Miss Sunshine" "Pan's Labyrinth" won for Best Art Direction and Cinematography. And Ryan Gosling was nominated for Best Actor in "Half Nelson." And that's just a partial list of low-budget films in this year's Blockbusters such as "The Departed," "Casino Royale" and the "Harry Potter" films won't be going away anytime soon. However, with low-budget films becoming more popular, audiences should expect more artsy, character-driven movies flooding the theaters soon. Academy Awards. Last year, "Crash" won Best Picture.

DEMOCRATIC IRAQ STATE GRS Grant Snider/KANSAN >> LETTER TO THE EDITOR Everyone should consider all smoking facts After reading the commentary piece by Cassie Gentry, I got a little frightened that I may be killing people inadvertently! Then I wizened up and decided to do some research. In the Surgeon General's Report from 1987, it states that "sustained exposure to second-hand smoke was equivalent to smoking about two cigarettes a day". Scary, until you learn that sustained means to "maintain at length without interruption or weakening". In other words, if you sit in a room for more than thirty minutes and are continuously breathing in second hand smoke, you are at risk for much of the same health risks as a smoker. Smoking is obviously bad, because there is little to no ventilation. Gentry also mentions how many chemicals are found in second hand smoke, and how detrimental to non-smokers these are. This is also scary until you realize "(smoke) is diluted by the air in the room before it is inhaled and is therefore less concentrated than second hand smoke (alone), according to the Office of Health and Safety. If you are merely passing through a cloud of smoke on your way inside a building, or vice versa, even the Surgeon General wouldn't deem that a serious health risk. Tera Carlile Liberal junior The trio made up of former Dispatch front man Chad Urmstom, Chuck Fay and Mike Naianian create uncommonly good music about uncommon topics. All three members of the band are incredibly talented and they play their reggae-rock inspired music with energy and sing-along melodies. Their Web site describes them as combining the "anti-establishment politics of Rage Against the Machine (with) the revolutionary lyrics of Bob Marley." At the Bottleneck, they demonstrated their ability to address uncommon issues eloquently by playing songs about everything from war to elderly rights and challenges of the lower class. Anti-war rhetoric can often get overwhelming and frustrating, especially as the situation in Iraq gets worse and worse, but the song "Camilo," performed on Feb. 23, offers a breath of fresh air. Urmstom wrote the song in 2004 after Staff Sergeant Camilo Mejia was imprisoned for refusing to fight in Iraq. It is a beautiful song, but what makes it special is that it is more than just an song: it's an anthem for action. Listening to the ecstatic crowd sing along with Urmstom, "oh my country won't you call out?" cannot help but inspire both hope and faith. It inspires not only faith in contemporary music, but hope that no matter what problems our country faces we can overcome them. 》TALK TO US >> COMMENTARY Gabriella Souza, editor 864-4854 or gsouza@ikansan.com Stuewe is a Lawrence junior in political science and American studies.

The game also changed when Durant went down midway through the second half, re aggravating an ankle injury that he suffered during practice on Friday. He said he would be treated this week and remained optimistic that he would be ready to play Friday at the Big 12 Conference tournament. With Durant out of the game, Kansas outscored Texas 10-7.

The festival featured educational and performance opportunities for students, and live concerts for the general public. The festival was a non-competitive venue for regional high schools to perform and for world-class jazz musicians and educators to be heard, including Gary Foster, KU alumnus and professional jazz musician. Eric Beahan, Derby sophomore wails on his saxophone Friday evening at the Lied Center. Beahan is a member of the KU Jazz Combo I. Combo I is composed of some of the most accomplished musicians in the KU Jazz Studies Program. Beahan and other members of the ensemble played for "Jazz at KU: The First 35 Years," "Friday and Saturday evening." "I'm honored and flattered to be back at KU." Foster said. "I give credit everyday to what I learned here." Standing on on Foster's list of accomplishments was a performance last week at the Oscars. He also played on the sound tracks of "The Simpsons," "Family Gun" and "Star Wars." The jazz band from Lincoln Southeast High School in Lincoln, Neb., performed Saturday evening at the Lied Center. The high school has come to the festival every year every Nate Bond, Lincoln Southeast alto saxophone player, was at the festival for the third year. "It's a different experience every time." Bond said. "The festival has helped my skills quite a bit." Foster said music students had a great opportunity at the University to be successful, and attributed great faculty to his success. "I living a dream, doing what I love," Foster said. "I feel like I did something right." The festival coincided with the 35th anniversary of the KU Jazz Studies Program. Dan Gailey, director of jazz studies, said having both anniversaries the same weekend helped distinguished alumni to the event. "It is also a chance for us to celebrate the contributions of many talented musicians and directors who were instrumental in getting our jazz program established as one of the nation's premier programs," he said.

Rosenthal was protesting McDonald's low wages for farm workers. Local groups fight for immigrants' rights BY KATY BLAIR Lawrence activist groups are battling a growing problem in southern Florida — immigrant slavery. About 20 members of the Lawrence Fair Food association and Apoyo Trabajador, a University of Kansas student group, fought the elements Friday at the East Sixth Street McDonald's to protest the exploitation of farmers who supply tomatoes to the chain. Students at the demonstration held a sign that read, "McDonald's Dirty Laundry equals Farm workers' Sweat and Blood." Passing cars honked and the wind whipped their clothing filled with filth jeans and T-shirts, which represented impoverished conditions of the workers, but the demonstration continued. Cory Fischer-Hoffman, Philadelphia graduate student, said the demonstrators fought for the Coalition of Immokalee Workers, a group of farmers in southern Florida who gathered to fight for better wages. Many of those farmers are immigrants from Haiti, Central America and Mexico, looking for work to send money back to their families. The tomato farmers pick two tons of tomatoes to earn $50 for that workday, Fischer-Hoffman said. "It's an enormous amount of work just so they can survive." Fischer-Hoffman said. "Their rights to organize are not protected by U.S. laws, and they're taken advantage of by suppliers who know they can get away with paying workers low wages." Students in Apoyo Trabaiadora thought the demonstration was a good way to initiate for immigrant farmers. "We hope that this helps call the attention of the decision-makers at McDonald's to actually do something about this," said Mauricio Herrera, Alajuela, Costa Rica, graduate student. Gary Vaughn, senior store manager for McDonald's, declined to comment on the demonstration. In April, Lawrence Fair Food and Apoyo Trabajador intend to travel to McDonald's headquarters in Oak Brook, Ill., to protest for better wages and more integrity for immigrant farm workers. "McDonald's is such an important player in the fast food industry that whatever kinds of changes they make can really set a precedent for other fast food corporations." Fischer-Hoffman said. "They have the potential to support farm workers and we demand they use that power." Kansan staff writer Katy Blair can be contacted at kblair@kansan.com.

The Jayhawks won the first game 15-5 and the second 6-3. Baseball team gets a 'W' BY ALISSA BAUER It finally happened. Kansas (9-5) played its first series at home after weeks of canceled games. The Jayhawks used its home field advantage to win the series finale 6-3. The run-rule victory that Kansas laid on Western Illinois (6-7) in eight innings in game one of Sunday's doubleheader was motivation enough for the Leathernecks to get going in game two. The Leathernecks jumped on the board first in the nightcap. One of Kansas' five errors in game two put the first base runner of the game aboard, and Western Illinois made it count. First baseman Matt Newquist gave his team an early 1-0 edge with an RBI single. Junior infielder Erik Morrison gave Kansas the lead with an RBI single to left that scored Allman. The Jayhawks erased that deficit in a matter of minutes. In their first at bat, freshman third baseman Robby Price tagged his first triple of the season to right field. Junior left fielder John Allman followed suit with a double to right scored Robby Price. "I've felt good, I've been hitting balls right at people," Morrison said. "It was time that I put some in the gap. I definitely made progress from last weekend to now. Hopefully I can keep on the track and keep making prowess." Morrison struck again in the bottom of the third. With two down, Morrison singled, sparking a triple by junior second baseman Ryne Price followed by a base hit by struggling junior right fielder Brock Simpson. This was Simpson's first hit in three weeks. "I like leading off and all, but I think it was obviously time for me to go back and get in the middle of the lineup and watch some other guys do good, and let me hit them in," Simpson said. Afenir and Land belted home runs to lead off the fourth and fifth innings. Price mentioned earlier this season that he needed sophomores Buck Afenir and Preston Land to get their bats going as well to have success. They listened. The five errors the jayhaws put up in game two had more to do with the Leathernecks' scoring than the five hits. When junior right-hander Andres Esquibel relieved starting sophomore lefty Nick Czyz in the top of the sixth, Western Illinois had cut the lead to 6-3. "We took ground balls inside today on the turf. That's what we've done all week," Price said. "We had not taken ground balls until we played the game today on our new infield. It'll be really nice once we have a chance to finish it up." Still fighting defeat, Western Illinois center fielder Travis Check hustled to beat a diving play by Ryne Price. Right-handed closer Paul Smyth allowed them no room to breath in the ninth. "I thought they were outstanding," Price said. "I thought Nick Czyz was good, I thought Esquibel was good. Smyth has been really special every time we've given him the baseball so far." Kansas will face Tabor College at home on Tuesday. THE ONLY LAND LOCKED HARBOUR THAT MAKES SENSE. HARBOUR LIGHTS SINCE 1936 1031 MASSACHUSETTS Kansan sportswriter Alissa Bauer can be contacted at abauer@ kansan.com. Edited by Stacey Couch Hoglund Ballpark has a way of curing Kansas' woes. Home sweet Hoglund BY SHAWN SHROYER "I just kept running hard," Alenir said. "I almost passed the guy at first." Entering game one of Sunday's doubleheader, Kansas was fighting a four-game losing streak and averaging 3.6 runs through its last seven games. But it came as no surprise that those trends were derailed in Kansas' home opener. THINKING OF GOING TO LAW SCHOOL? Be Prepared! Leath's outing ended after the fourth, but he actually fared far better than the pitcher who followed him — Frank Zenick. Behind the best offensive output of the season, Kansas run-ruled Western Illinois 15-5 in eight innings in the first game. "When you're on a four game losing streak, you need a 'W' first," coach Ritch Price said. "We certainly needed that and we certainly needed to be on our own field." Up until the fourth inning, Western Illinois starting pitcher Quinn Leath (0-2) had pitched admirably, but his luck soon ran out, Junior shortstop Eric Morrison led off the inning with a single. Leath walked junior outfielder Brock Simpson and designated hitter Joe Servais not long after, bringing sophomore catcher Buck Alenir to the plate with the bases loaded. 2018年10月23日 第76版 The Jayhawks took their time lighting up the scoreboard, though. Before coming up to bat in the fourth, Kansas was up just 2-1. Atenir connected with the second pitch for a grand slam over the left-center wall. He said he had no idea it was going out when he hit it. Save $100 Register by April 16 After seven batters and 18 pitches, In the midst of Kansas' offensive onslaught in the first five innings, three Jayhawks snapped out of slumps. Morrison and Afenir had been struggling a bit at the plate entering Sunday. Morrison had one hit in his last 10 at-bats while Afenir had one in his last eight at-bats. However, Simpson was stuck in a monumental funk, with just one hit in his previous 31 at-bats. The trio feasted on Leathern neck pitching, though, going a combined 8-for-10. Morrison ended game one just a triple shy of hitting for the cycle, with two RBI, three runs and a stolen base. Afenir added a single to his grand slam. Simpson, who hit in the seventh spot in the order instead of his usual leadoff spot, had two triples, two RBI, three runs and a stolen base. "I was going for it," Morrison said. "I wanted the cycle." Course begins April 22! Zenisken had allowed back to-back home runs, a triple, a single, two walks, six runs, a wild pitch and just six strikes. Heading into his final at bat, Morrison said he knew he needed a triple for the cycle, but when Price held the runner ahead of him at third base, he had no choice to settle for another double. Had Price sent the runner, it would have been a different story. Sophomore first baseman Preston Land hit the first of the home runs, sending his over the high wall in dead center, driving in junior left fielder John Allman, which resulted in a pitching change. Ashwood didn't wear down until the sixth inning, allowing four runs on three hits. KU CONTINUING EDUCATION The University of Louisiana On the mound for Kansas, junior left hander Zach Ashwood (2-1) stretched his scoreless inning streak to seven innings before an uneared run scored in the fourth inning. "He did a really nice job." Price said. "For five innings, the only run we gave up behind him was an unearned run. If he can give us five innings and keep us in the ball game, as good as our bullpen is, then we like our chances."

As it turned out, Kansas' home opener proved to be worth the wait. Ashwood was relieved by freshman right-hander Thomas Marcin in the seventh and the Jawahaws pushed their 15th run across the plate in the eighth inning to end the game prematurely. "Our home opener just kept getting pushed back and pushed back and we've been anxious to get out here and play in front of our home crowd, so it feels great," Simpson said.

Six Jayhawks pick up honors from conference coaches Six Jayhawks received postseason awards from the Big 12 Conference coaches on Sunday. Leading the way was sophomore guard Mario Chalermers; who was named Co-Defensive Player of the Year along with Oklahoma State's Marcus Dove. Making the All-Big 12 first team were sophomore guard Brandon Rush and sophomore forward Julian Wright. Due to voting ties, six players made the first team this year. Coach Bill Self said in a statement that he was pleased that the Big 12 recognized several players from the team. "This just shows we have a team full of good players," he said. Chalmer was also named to the All-Big 12 third team, and freshmen Darrell Arthur and Sherron Collins received honorable mention. Rounding out the awards, junior guard Russell Robinson was named to the all-defensive team along with Chalmer, and Arthur and Collins both made the all-rookie队. As expected, Texas forward Kevin Durant swept the big awards, including Big 12 Player of the Year Durant and Texas A&M guard Ace Law were the two players unanimously selected to the All-Big 12 first team. Conference hopes high for Atlanta If you believe the so-called college basketball experts, then the Big 12 Conference is experiencing a down year. But in reality, it's exactly the opposite. Michael Phillips The Big 12 is the only conference in the country where any of its top three teams could make their way to Atlanta for the Final Four. Kansas, Texas and Texas A&M are all capable of continuing their hot runs in the NCAA tournament. No other conference can top that. The Big Ten has two teams capable, but that's still one short of the Big 12. The Pacific-10, Atlantic Coast, Big East and Southeastern Conferences all only have one team able to make it to Atlanta. The reasons that Kansas can make it to the Final Four are well-documented. The depth, defense and talent of the lahayhs make them one of the nation's best teams. Texas A&M, of course, defeated Kansas at Allen Fieldhouse last month and split the regular season series with rival Texas. Guard Acie Law leads the Aggies, who boast one of the country's top defenses. Texas is led by the nation's best player, freshman forward Kevin Durant. He proved in the first half Saturday that he's capable of single-handedly beating the opponent. Looking at the way Durant played before his second half ankle injury, it's hard to see how the Longhorns lost eight games this season. Kansas, Texas, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State have all sent teams to the Final Four in the 11-year history of the league. It's not hard to imagine the league's top three teams this season knocking off at least a couple of those teams. The middle- and lower-tier teams in the Big 12 have been better in years past, but theyre not the reason BY RYAN SCHNEIDER KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST RSCHNEIDER@KANSAN.COM the Big 12 is the best conference in the country. The way to measure the strength of a conference is based on how its top teams perform in the NCAA tournament. It shouldn't be a stretch to pencil Texas, Texas A&M and Kansas in at least the Sweet Sixteen based on the way all three have played in the past few weeks. Again, outside of the Big Ten, it's hard to imagine any other conference having more than two teams advance that far in the tournament. Even the Big 12's "bubble teams" Texas Tech and Kansas State, are capable of putting together a run in the tournament. I don't expect either team to make it past the second round, but with Bob Knight and Bob Huggins, either team is capable of an upset. But the Big 12 doesn't need either of those teams to make it to solidify its spot as the nation's top conference, Kansas, Texas and Texas A&M have done that in the last few weeks. The Big 12 won't have the most tournament bids, or even multiple No.1 seeds, but its top three teams are a better trio than any other conference can put together.

Edited by Stacey Couch 1234567890 Kansas Texas KU Texas Kansas KU Michael Phillips/KANSAN it's not hard to notice that Texas was on fire from behind the three-point line in the first half, but it's also interesting to note that each of those clumps represents a different player's spot. The lowest one was Kevin Durant, the top one is AJ. Abrams and most of the dots at the top of the arc belong to D.J. Augustin. For the Jayhawks their success this year has often been a result of getting the ball inside the paint, and Saturday was no different. In the first half, Kansas scored just 12 points in the paint. The team increased that number to 22 in the second半场. Sarah Leonard/KANSAN Julian Wright, sophomore forward, powers through the lane against Texas forward Kevin Durant.

BY MARK DENT Danny Manning was right As Durant dropped three pointers, stole the ball from guards and pulled up for mid range jumpers, he looked like a former Celtic great. He and Texas star Kevin Durant are not even comparable. Durant's display from Saturday left Kansas coach Bill Self thinking of some of the NBAs all-time greats. A different type of athlete in that he can run the floor in a way Bird could never dream of. Durant's athletic ability is far greater than Bird's. What Durant did in the first half on Saturday — 25 points on 10-for-14 shooting, including 5-for-5 from three-point range — was reminiscent of someone even more special. "He's a different type of athlete than Larry." Self said, "but Bird may be the guy." "Michael doesn't get on rolls like he got on there." Self said. Durant was Michael Jordan good. The Texas freshman scored 32 points in his team's 90-86 loss on Saturday. His 25 first half points were the most he made in a single half this season. The big half sparked his team to a 54-42 advantage. Kansas forward Julian Wright and guard Brandon Rush were the poor souls charged with defending Durant. No matter what the sophomores did, Durant found a way to score. He started the game by making a three-pointer, and followed it with a jumper to give his team an early 8-4 lead. Then, he stole the ball and dunked it. On the next possession, he shot a turnaround over Wright. By the 14:14 mark, Durant had 12 points on 4-for-4 shooting. "I didn't think he was going to miss at all," Rush said. Durant did finally miss, but he also made shots that he had no business making. Rush and Wright guarded him tightly and put their hands in his face on nearly every one of his shots. "When you're on fire, all you can do is contest." Wright said. "That's all you can do. He was on fire the first half." It only got worse when Durant awkwardly stepped on freshman forward Darrell Arthur's foot with about 11 minutes left and fell to the ground grabbing his left ankle. Durant went to the locker room. He had hurt the ankle during Friday's practice and stepping on Arthur reaggravated the injury. But an ankle The second half quickly turned sour for Durant.

"I just wanted to suck it up for my teammates. They did a great job while I was out. I just wanted to play for them." Durant did all he could the rest of the game to give his team the chance to earn that No. 1 seed. With Texas trailing 88-80 and only 26 seconds left, Durant hit a three-pointer. Longhorn guard A.J. Abrams made one after that to pull the Longhorns A chance for the Big 12 Conference title also motivated him. Texas came into Saturday on a six-game win streak that included a double-overtime victory against Texas A&M. If the Longhorns would have won, they would have clinched a three-way tie for first place in the Big 12 and would have owned the top seed in next week's Big 12 Tournament. within two. But with a chance to tie in the closing seconds, his teammates couldn't find him. Although he couldn't finish the game with a tying shot, Durant had a memorable, courageous performance in his first and likely last game at Allen Fieldhouse. "He's done a lot of good things this year," Texas coach Rick Barnes said. "What makes it impressive is what was at stake. I think he showed what he was about this game." "He's one of the best players to ever play on that court." Self said. "He's on a different level." Durant certainly showed enough to impress Self.

Durant scored 25 points in the first half. He finished with 32 points after leaving the game for a few minutes in the second half with an ankle injury. 'TIS THE SEASON... FOR GREEN BEER & BASKETBALL R "MONDAY MADNESS" — ONLY AT JAYHAWK BOOKSTORE ZOOLOGY view from press row > The Jayhawks converted just 54 percent of their free throws, a number that dipped even lower in the second half. Junior center Sasha Kaun made all three of his attempts, though. "When Sasha is your best free-throw shooter, that's a concern," coach Bill Self said. I think that comparing Texas forward Kevin Durant to Jayhawk great Danny Manning is pretty accurate. Durant definitely has the ability to take his team deep into the NCAA tournament. I see a huge upside for him in the NBA, too. He's the skill of player who will score 20 points on his first night and continue to contribute for several years. > The Big 12 has three teams that are legit title contenders — Kansas, Texas and Texas A&M—and nine teams that are bringing the conference down. The conference is like feudal Europe this year: there's no middle class. Still, look for a fourth team to get a nod to the NCAA tournament depending on who plays well in Oklahoma City next weekend. > The noise level inside Allen Fieldhouse was certainly the loudest I've ever been a part of, with the Georgia Tech game coming in a very close second. The students are always great, but when the alumni start yelling it becomes even more intimidating. My ears are still buzzing. > It wasn't just Senior Day for the band and team managers; it was also my last game at Allen Fieldhouse. From the e-mails I get to the people who stop me on campus, it still amazes me just how passionate this campus is about its basketball team.

SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY JARY BANSAN MONDAY MARCH 5,2007 SOFTBALL 'Hawks fall short BY EVAN KAFARAKIS The Kansas softball team lost in the championship game 1.0 on Sunday, falling to tournament host Tulsa at the Great Western Downtown Plaza Classic. The leyahaws had a dominating first two days at the tournament, going 4-0 through Saturday and scoring 33 combined runs. On Friday, Kansas deterbed Iowa State 7-4 in the morning and Tulsa 9-0 in the nightcap. Kansas played a doubleheader Saturday against North Texas and won both times — 7-4 in game one and 10-0 in game two. Sophomore catcher Elle Pottert hit a grand-slam home run in game one and totaled five RBI. But on Sunday, the squad fell to Tulsa as the offense went cold. The lajahwacks stranded 11 runners on base throughout the game, unable to capitalize on opportunities Senior pitcher Kassie Humphrey's struck out nine Golden Hurricanes and allowed only three hits. Itaux also run came off an error in the outfield. Finished with 18 straight road games, the Jayhawks (11-6 1) will play their home opener at Artocha Ballpark Friday for the 2007 Jayhawk Invitational. The Jayhawks will compete against Drake at 2 p.m. on Friday playing five games throughout the three-day tournament. Kansan sportswriter Evan Kafarakis can be contacted at ekafarakis@kansan.com.

Junior forward Taylor McIntosh and sophomore center Marija Zinc made the second team for maintaining GPAs between 3.00 and 3.19. Boyd and McIntosh are repeat honorees after making the cut last season. Freshmen are not eligible for Academic All Big 12 honors, so Catic and Zinc are first-time recipients of the honor. - Asher Fusco Mosley only Jayhawk named to All-Big 12 team Senior guard Shaquina Mosley earned All-Big 12 second team honors last Friday. The Big 12 coaches selected Mosley one day after she scored a career-high 26 points against Missouri. The 5-foot-6 point guard is averaging 11 points, five rebounds and four assists per game. She leads the team in points and assists and is second in rebounds. Mosley arrived at Kansas as a highly touted transfer from Central Arizona College, where she was the National Junior College Player of the Year in 2005. Mosley's first season at Kansas was a disappointment, as she only played an average of 13 minutes per game in a reserve role. This season started in a similar manner, but Mosley played her way off the bench to become one of the teams' brightest stars. Mosley was the only Jayhawk named All-Big 12.

Only two other schools have surpassed 1,900 victories — Kentucky and North Carolina — but Kansas is the only school to claim 50 career conference titles. The lahawks are the epitome of dominance. They are one of the few programs that all other programs are measured against. If Kansas State beats Kansas, its season is considered a successful one. If Texas A&M would have taken sole possession of the conference title, it would have been monumental. The feeling after Kansas's 50th championship wasn't success or the notion that it was monumental. It was simply a feeling of satisfaction, knowing that for another year the conference brought out the big guns against the lahawks nearly every game, yet Kansas still managed to maintain the Big 12 crown. On March 3, Kansas secured another season of satisfaction and furthered the lore of Kansas basketball by reaching those huge milestones. Those of us who were lucky enough to see it in person witnessed something truly special. Not only did we see the 50th conference championship and the 1900th program victory, but we saw the historic cumulation of one of the most historic sports programs in the world. BY ERIC JORGENSEN KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST EJORGENSEN.KANSAN.COM Wrapped up in all those victories and championships is basketball history, not just Kansas basketball history. The game's creator, James Naismith, was the school's first coach. The father of coaching, Forrest "Phog" Allen, spawned a new generation of coaches. Adolf Rupp and Dean Smith, both former layhawks, took Allen's knowledge and led other programs to dominance. It's ironic that the two schools those two led to success were Kentucky and North Carolina. I guess Kansas should say "You're welcome" to those schools. It took Allen's pupils to take those programs to the next level. If you follow the coaching tree even further and take a look at all the coaches that learned the Phog Allen method of coaching just through Smith, it's amazing. Roy Williams, Larry Brown and George Karl, to name a few, all learned under Smith. Wilt Chamberlain, the player responsible for more changes in basketball than any other, became a star while in a jayhawk uniform. Brown coached a Danny Manning-led team in 1988 to one of the most famous championship runs in all of sports. Brown later became the only coach in history to win an NCAA championship and an NBA championship, with the Detroit Pistons. It all comes to a head with this year's layhawk team. This is possibly the most talented Kansas team ever. Think of this layhawk fans have been stressed, frustrated and furious at the team this year, all because we expect so much more. We expect so much more from a 27-4, No. 3-ranked team in the nation. That's the kind of expectations created by decades of winning. One thing Kansas basketball history lacks is a lot of national championships. Kansas has four, although it only truly has two. The back-to-back championships in the 1920s were awarded years later as there were no championships in that era. In what has been a historic year, the exclamation point would be the first national championship in 19 years, and the first as a favorite since 1952. Regardless if this team wins a championship,it's still Kansas — the definition of consistency and dominance — and this season has been a testament of this great program.

STATE CHAMPIONS Season titles overlooked BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS There is something much faire about a regular-season championship. You can't win one with a buzzer-beating shot or a week-long hot streak. Winners have proven their excellence through the course of 16 games, at least one against every team. That lack of theatrics is why they've been overlooked for the glitzier March Madness, but winning a regular-season title remains the best way to measure a team's greatness. And nobody does it better than Kansas. A 90-86 victory against Texas meant an explosion of big, round numbers. It was the teams 1,900th victory, which was third most in the country. It was also its 50th conference title, more than any other school in the U.S. "It felt pretty good to be in our own home and cut down the nets," sophomore guard Brandon Rush said. "The crowd was going crazy. Everybody else was going crazy. It was a special day." It's a record that doesn't get much play, probably because conference championships are given out at a very inconvenient time. For the players it was also the completion of a goal they set the 6 a.m. fall practices. After a loss to Texas A&M meant they would need help to accomplish that goal, they started watching for it. In the final weeks, they followed the Big 12 race wherever they went, keeping tabs with TV, Internet and cell phones. Ultimately it came down to Saturday's match up against Texas, which proved to be a championship-caliber game. The Longhorns scored 54 first-half points, almost half of those by freshman phenom Kevin Durant. When Durant leaned back and made a scrape-the-ceiling three over sophomore forward Julian Wright, it didn't silence the crowd. Instead, 16,300 people reacted with a collective groan. They were watching greatness, but it was wearing the wrong uniform. The fans kept yelling at an ear-splitting volume, though, and were given plenty to yell about in the second half as the layhawks pushed, prodded and elbowed their way to a Big 12 title. "This was a big one for us," sophomore guard Mario Chalmers said. "We wanted to win the regular season outright." Attention spans are short in March, and before the last bits of newspaper confetti could hit the ground attention was already turning to this week's Big 12 tournament and next week's NCAA tournament. At Kansas, there's not a lot of time to enjoy the achievement that other schools spend years chasing. Even without the victory, Kansas was still guaranteed to set the record for most conference championships by a school, Kentucky has 49, but this year the Wildcats are stuck in fourth place in the Southeastern Conference East division. Sure, he said he was happy. He smiled while waving the nets to the crowd. But he couldn't bring himself to fully enjoy a conference title. Not on March 3, at least. "That's just not how it is with me," Self said. "Now the real work begins." That's why while Lew Perkins was chewing on a cigar and the players were watching the commemorative video, coach Bill Self sat behind them with something else on his mind.

Police urged all residents to take precautions to ensure their safety, and to call the police department at 832-7509 for non-emergency situations or 911 for emergency situations. BY ERICK R. SCHMIDT Ryan White said word of a skimmed intruder in his apartment complex spread quickly. "People were all saying, 'Did you hear what happened?' Did you hear what happened?" White, Dallas senior, said. "Everyone has heard what happened." White lives at The Hawker, 1011 Missouri St., where a man entered the apartment of four female students at 3 a.m. Saturday, wearing a ski mask and holding a handgun: Police said the man woke the victims one at a time and demanded their wallets and purses. When the victims told the man to enter a room in the apartment, they locked themselves in another room and called police. The man left before police arrived. Investigators had not determined whether anything was stolen from the property. Jessie Berkenfield, Chicago senior who lives at the Hawker, said everyone at the complex was talking about the burdury. "Yeah, I'm scared now," Berkenfield said. "I'm sure to lock my door anytime I leave." Kansan staff writer Erick R.

"It wasn't an issue of breaking the door in." "In the back of my mind, I'm thinking of it," she said. Berkenfield said after a day of panic, things had returned mostly to normal.

The Athletics Department is seeking legal action to stop downtown business job College.com from printing shirts that reference the University of Kansas. "Many of the shirts attach themselves to the University and are in poor taste," he said. Trademarks are words, symbols or phrases intended distinguish one company's products from another. None of the shirts in the store use specific marks protected by the University, such as the lajwhak, but that doesn't guarantee that they don't violate trademark it," Smith said. The University cited trademark infringement as the basis for the lawsuit. Trade dress, which refers to identifying features that a consumer may associate with a particular company and become confused, can also be protected. In this case, that may refer to the blue color of many of the shirts in the store and their slogans that reference Kansas Athletics in some way. Joe College.com owner Larry Sinks commented through his attorney, Bill Skepnek. Skepnek said his client's shirts do reference the University but that consumers did not confuse them with officially licensed products. "Trademark law is not intended to protect a fool," he said. "It's intended to protect a reasonable person." Sinks graduated from Lawrence High School in 1981 and began printing shirts soon after. He posted a disclaimer on his Web site and inside his store stating his products are unlicensed to prevent customers from being confused. "We believe that KU is missing the trademark law in an attempt to monopolize the right to use SEE LAWSUIT ON PAGE 3A SAFETY Traffic safety commission questions sign's accuracy BY MATT ERICKSON No parents wait to pick up their children, no crossing guards carry stop signs and few "children" cross the street who aren't old enough to purchase tobacco. But a sign at the intersection of 15th Street and Engel Road still shows a mother and daughter holding hands and crossing the road, and the speed limit sign nearby proclaims "School" across the top in yellow. Soon, though, the school zone signs will likely change to reflect their camus location. Robin Smith. Lawrence resident, brought the issue before the commission. He said the signs were out of place because the city's other school zones protected elementary-age children, not college students. The city traffic safety commission recommended Monday night to change the "School" speed limit sign to say "pedestrian crossing" and to change the intersection sign to show a single person crossing the road. "I don't think the KU students are really children needing their own special little crossing up there," he said. Smith said he frequently drove by the signs while he took his grandchildren to school, and the "school zone" designation irritated him. Changing the sign to a "pedestrian crossing" isn't meant to downplay the danger of the intersection. Smith said he knew the intersection was dangerous, but didn't want people to be looking for children walking across the street when there wouldn't be any. "Don't diminish the existing school zones," David Woosley, city transportation and traffic engineer, said the school zone signs appeared in 2000. He said several cars had crashed into pedestrians and bicyclists at that corner in the past. "If a school zone is a school zone. Lea Baker, Merriam senior, lives in Hashinger Hall and goes through the intersection often, in her car and on foot. She said she thought the intersection was unsafe. "I've been walking across the street and seriously had somebody's car stop, like, six inches from me," Baker said. She said she thought motorists' speed along 15th Street didn't matter as long as they kept control over their vehicles. The sign changes on 15th Street will now go to the city commission for approval.

KLEO KLEO Contract gives athletic teams better equipment BY KYLE CARTER Non-revenue sports have been the biggest winners in the Athletic Department's eight-year, $26.67 million sponsorship deal with Adidas. The contract began in fall 2005 when the previous deal with Nike ran out. Nike only sponsored men's basketball and football. Other sports bought shoes and apparel for athletes using money from a budget that also had to cover travel, coaching salaries, equipment and other items. Junior distance runner Paul Heffernon said the change benefitted the track and cross country teams. "We used to use the shorts from last year's uniform for training" he said During his freshman year while the Nike contract was in effect, Hefferon said he bought his own clothes to train in.

BY BRIAN LEWIS-JONES The Association of American University Presses Book, Jacket and Journal Show doesn't highlight words on the page. Instead, it focuses on the typography, design and layout of the books' covers and interiors, said Sara Henderson White, assistant to the director at the University Press of Kansas. Jurors at the AAUP in New York looked at more than 650 submitted books, jackets, covers and journals in late winter of last year. White said the exhibit, on display until March 15 at 2502 Westbrooke Circle on West Campus, would show that books aren't on their way out — the feel, layout, art and overall creativity of a book sets it apart from other sources of reading. "The way your eye looks at it and relates it to the subject matter is totally different from online," White said. Karl Janssen, advertising coordinator and marketing designer for the University Press of Kansas, located near Bob Billings Parkway and Crestline Drive, said the books on display helped provide new ideas for designing. "They're excellent, some really beautiful stuff from a design standpoint," he said. Janssen is the only designer for the University Press of Kansas. He says at times, he's working on a dozen projects at once, compiling photos, choosing typefaces and selecting colors. The books and jackets in the exhibit were published in 2005 by 127 member presses of the AAUP, including Duke, Yale, Pennsylvania State University and Oxford. The University of Kansas is a member of the group, but was not selected for this year's exhibit. The University Press of Kansas publishes about 55 publications per year from six universities in Kansas. Publications are typically in fields of political science, American studies and environmental history. Subramanian Natarajan, a retired banker from India studying to be an accountant, flipped through several of the books at the display. He said the book designs allowed him to "Each one is so beautifully designed," he said. "This is something really creative and original." Some students know the tedious nature of book design. "It usually just takes an idea, and you grow from it." Starrett said. Scott Starrett, Overland Park senior, is in his fourth semester helping to design Kiosk, a student-run art and literature book published twice per year. He said an essential part of designing the book is coming up with a new concept to help set it anart. Kansan staff writer Brian Lewis Jones can be contacted at bljones@kansan.com. CONTRACT Edited by Joe Caponio (CONTINUED FROM 1A) provided using money from the team's budget in the past. Shoes are particularly important for distance runners like Hefferon. His Adidas Boston Classics slap the pavement thousands of times during his nearly 90 miles a week of training. Hefferon wears a pair of shoes out in about two months. With Adidas supplying the footwear, he's allotted two pairs at a time and can trade an old pair out for a new one at the track office when he needs to. Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony said the inclusion of non-revenue sports was a big reason behind the change from Nike to Adidas. "Adidas saw the value, more than the other companies, of outfitting all of the Kansas teams," he said. "Nike was not as interested in outfitting all of the teams." Marchiony said about half of the $26.67 million was paid by Adidas in the form of apparel given to athletes. Not everyone jumped on the Adidas bandwagon at first. Hefferon said many of the styles preferred by he and other distance runners on the team weren't available. They often traded in the shoes at local shoe stores to get the styles they wanted. They complained to coaches and Adidas responded by providing what they needed. "Now it's not a problem," he said. "We're at a point where we have all we need." Pryor said she appreciated the inclusion of the non-revenue sports in the contract. "We know football and basketball make the money, and we understand that," she said, "but the fact that they did something for everybody was really nice." Kansan staff writer Kyle Carter can be contacted at kcarter@kansan.com. LAWSUIT Edited by Sharla Shivers (CONTINUED FROM 1A) these ideas," he said. Marchhiony said unlicensed vendors detracted from sales of licensed shirts. The Athletics Department takes 9 percent royalties on sales of licensed items and some of that money goes towards athletic scholarships. others to be circumventing the rules," he said. "There are licensees who pay a fee for the right to use the Kansas marks and it's not fair to them for Skepknek said he thinks the Athletics Department is bothered most by the content of the shirts. "I think it's a huge first amendment issue," he said. "With T-shirts, people want to adopt the message on the shirt when they put it on. I think it's clear that KU doesn't like the message and so they want to stop people from wearing these shirts, but to do that they have to stop someone from making them." University law professor Mike Kautsch said trademark infringement lawsuits were common and often involved professional and collegiate athletic teams. He said a lot of evidence would usually be required to prove that a color was a distinctive mark protected by trademark law. "In a case like this, the outcome will depend on the success of the plaintiff in proving the mark is distinctive in the way it claims," he said. Marchiony said the Athletics Department itself did not handle the legal aspects of the trial, but rather turned the issue over to the Collegiate Licensing Company to take action when they felt a product was trying to associate itself with the University. Skepnek said the case would go to trial in September.

Maddox's efforts are part of the Women's Institute for Secondary Education and Research Project (WISER) with Duke University. Maddox hopes to raise $10,000 for Maddox is currently working on planning several fundraisers. So far, fund- lowest rates for girls completion of secondary education. "In the last 18 years not a single girl who has completed her secondary education in the Muhuru Bay school district has qualified for college entrance," Cunningham said in an e-mail. "Boy, wouldn't it be great if you raised enough money to build a classroom and have it named after you, your school, your town." He explained that since these girls aren't likely to qualify for college, many families prefer not to "I'm just doing everything I can to raise as much money as I can," Maddox said. raising plans include a Bunny Hop with the greek community, a 5K walk with the Lawrence community, and a concession stand with one of the Overland Park Price Choppers and high school students of Overland Park. ANDREW CUNNINGHAM Co-founder of WISER According to the Human Rights Watch, Muhuru Bay has some of the It was in India that Maddox first met Andrew Cunningham, co-founder of WISER. Maddox and Cunningham immediately knew they had one thing in common: a desire to help people in Africa. Maddox was first inspired for this project while working for Mother Teresa's Sisters of Charity in Calcutta, India, last summer. According to the joint United Nations Program on HIV and AIDS, Muhuru Bay, Kenya has the highest percentage of HIV infected people in the country. pay the primary and secondary school fees and instead ensure their girls' place as a future bride. W I S E R 'S objectives are to achieve gender parity in Kenyan education, create educated and motivated leaders, foster international collaboration between United States and Kenyan students, and enrich the community. Through the six weeks they spent together in India and a continued communication, Maddox and Cunningham worked together to prepare Maddox for her work with WISER. "Boy, wouldn't it be great if you raised enough money to build a classroom and have it named after you, your school, your town," he said. Maddox is optimistic about her efforts. She believes this is her chance to give girls in Muhuru Bay some of the same opportunities she has. "Any amount of money we can raise will be good. Anything will help, from $1,000 to whatever." Maddox said. Kansan staff writer Allie Wilmes can be contacted at editor@kansan.com.

PET DANGER Yorkshire terriers targeted by animal kidnappers ASSOCIATED PRESS HUTCHINSON — Forget about robbing a bank, pillaging homes for jewelry or a late-night heist from the electronics store. Thieves in central Kansas are setting their sites on a vapping, lucrative alternative Yorkshire terrisons. Yorkies, the trend pet of celebrities such as Tara Reid, Brittney Spears and Carmen Electra, can fetch between $600 and $2,500 each. Sgt. Thad Pickard with the Hutchinson Police Department thinks that's one of the reasons he has been called to work at least two Yorkie-nappings in the past several months. He is also aware of another case where a missing Yorkie was found dead. "I don't know what's driving it." Pickard said. "They're a nice dog to have. They're small and they'e easy to care for and they're an expensive breed" The prized pups are missing from across the country. Families from Queens, N.Y., to Reno and Lake Tahoe, Nev., are searching for missing dogs. A security video obtained by The Associated Press last week shows armed gunmen at a Los Angles-area apartment shoveling Yorkies into a plastic garbage bag. On Saturday, four of the five missing dogs were recovered when a man turned himself for the caper. Shad Flint came home not long ago to find his Yorkie missing He reported the crime to Hutchinson police and told detectives that Megan had been "chipped" — a small device that contains an electronic serial number was embedded under the dog's skin. That along with a neighbor's detailed description of the suspect helped Flirt get Megan back. "I don't think we would have gotten the dog back without the chip," Pickard said. Connie Marcotte, of Hutchinson, nearly became another victim when she saw a teenage girl trying to lure her two Yorkies, Bubba and Rocky, through a gate in the vard. Marcotte ran outside and the girl fled, but there was no question what she was after. Marcotte found a dog carrier, leash and blanket she had left behind. "I was furtious. I was beside myself." Marcotte said. "I called my husband and told him to come home. They're our babies; both our children are grown and gone. "I just can't believe someone would go around taking other people's pets. If you want a dog, go to the pound." Suspect in serial killings faces DNA testing, life prison term CRIME ASSOCIATED PRESS KANSAS CITY, Mo. — DNA evidence may link Lorenzo Gilyard to a series of murdered women whose strangled, shoeless bodies were found in secluded spots around the city, a prosecutor said Monday as the former trash company supervisor's trial began. Gilyard, described by neighbors as mild-mannered and friendly, Gilyard had been charged with 13 killings of women and girls between 1977 and 1993, but six of those charges were dropped Monday, as expected. Prosecutors, who can refile those charges later, said the seven remaining cases were the strongest and that suppressed evidence in the other six made them harder to try. But if convicted on even one count of first-degree murder, Gilyard's only possible sentence would be life in prison without parole. Prosecutors agreed in January not to seek the death penalty as long as Gilyard's attorneys agreed to a trial before a judge without a jury. His attorneys also agreed to give up nearly all of their client's appeal rights. In opening arguments Monday,prosecutor Jim Kanatzar said crime lab experts would show Gilyard had sex with the victims near the time of their deaths. "All the victims have several things in common: All were found dead during the same one-and-a-half year period, all were left in secluded or obstructed locations, all were strangled, all showed signs that they were involved in a struggle, all were missing their shoes and all but one showed distinct signs of sexual intercourse," he said. Gilyard's attorney, Tom lacquinet, noted police at first suspected other men and pointed out that most of the victims had a history of taking rides with strange men as part of their work as prostitutes. "My client stands before you facing these accusations telling you the same thing he told police more than three years ago. He did not kill anyone," faqiocon said. Gilyard, 56, was jailed in 2004 in connection with the strangulation of 12 of the victims. Authorities added the 13th murder charge last year — a 26-year-old woman found dead on a street in 1989 with a paper towel in her mouth and strangulation marks around her neck. That charge was dropped Monday. Prosecutors began their case with the murder of Catherine M. Barry, 34, the only victim who was not known to be a prostitute. She was found in 1986 at an abandoned public works building, nude and covered in leaves and debris, with a nylon stocking around her neck. The prosecution called Carl Glazier, a retired Kansas City police officer who investigated Barry's death, to testify. In telephone conversations with his relatives, Gilyard has consistently contended he is innocent and eager to go to trial. "I know I couldn't get convicted of something I didn't do," Gilyard told a relative in one call, among more than 200 minutes of recordings The Kansas City Star recently obtained through a Missouri Sunshine Law request. Gilyard rarely discussed details of his case, but in one conversation, he talked about the DNA evidence that prosecutors say linked him to the victims. He told a friend his trial would come down to "their scientists against my scientists." Gilyard had a long history of scrapes with the law and served time for crimes including child molestation. State probation records show that from January 1969 to June 1974, he was a suspect in five rape cases, though he was never convicted. But Gilyard had been largely off the police radar in the years before his April 2004 arrest. WILDLIFE KC Zoo to help endangered amphibians ASSOCIATED PRESS KANSAS CITY, Mo — The Kansas City Zoo is offering to become a haven for frogs and salamanders that are coming perilously close to extinction. Kansas City is one of several zoos, aquariums and botanical gardens throughout the country that will be part of a worldwide "Amphibian Ark" which seeks to establish captive breeding programs to help endangered amphibians. "What's depressing about amphibians is that this is a worldwide trend," said Jeff Briggle, Experts say amphibians are good indicators of ecological health because they are sensitive to chemicals introduced to the environment and changes in wetlands, woodlands and prairies. a herpetologist for the Missouri Department of Conservation. "One third of them are declining." "We're planning to help, although we're just now getting our frogs in a row," said Liz Harmon, general curator for the Kansas City Zoo. The zoo plans to work with two species, including crawfish frogs, a local species listed in Missouri as vulnerable to becoming threatened or endangered. Crawfish frogs are cream colored with dark spots and grow up to 4 inches long. They live off crayfish or mice burrows in native prairies, and the destruction of their habitat is one reason the species is threatened. "The hope is that this would be a short term holding place until there's a place for these amphibians to go into the wild," Harmon said. Green toads of the arid western plains are among the species native to Kansas that could be helped by zoo breeding programs, said Joseph T. Collins, herpetologist at the University of Kansas.

Many recruits not immediately trained BY HOLBROOK MOHR ASSOCIATED PRESS Four months into his job, a police officer in Mississippi holds a gun to the head of an unarmed teenager and puts him in a chokehold. A rookie officer in Illinois gets into a car chase that kills a driver. And a new campus policeman in Indiana shoots an unarmed student to death. Some are blaming these harrowing episodes on what an Associated Press survey found is a common practice across the country. At least 30 states let some newly hired law enforcement officers hit the streets with a gun, a badge and little or no training. These states allow a certain grace period six months or a year in most cases, two years in Mississippi and Wisconsin — before rookies must be sent to a police academy. In many cases, these recruits are supposed to be supervised by a full-fledged officer, but that does not always happen. The risks,some say,are high. "You wouldn't want a brain surgeon who isn't properly trained. Someone shouldn't be out there carving a badge and a gain unless they are qualified to be out there," said Jeremy Spratt, program manager of the Missouri Peace Officer Standards and Training Program. No one seems to know how many untrained recruits are on the streets. But the practice appears to be most common among small town police forces and sheriff's departments. Many police chiefs interviewed for this story said that for years, they have used less than fully-trained officers without problems, and they strongly defended the practice for reasons of money and manpower. It allows departments to put new hires on the streets right away, without waiting for them to go through police academy training, which is usually a full-time, weeks- or months-long exercise during which the officer is not on duty but still on the payroll. In some places, there are waiting lists to get into the academy. Also, some police forces see the grace period as a tryout, during which the department can decide whether the officer is going to work out before it invests thousands of dollars in police academy training. (In several states, if a recruit graduates from the academy, the police force is reimbursed by the state, but not if the officer fails to finish,) "It lets the officer work for the department for an amount of time to make sure that's what they want to do and make sure that's the right person for the job" said Batesville, Miss. Police Chief Gerald Legge. "We get some people that work a few weeks and say, 'This isn't what it was like on TV and this is not for me.' Some states — Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah, Vermont and Wyoming — require training before officers are put on the force.

FOCUS on driving >> COUNTRY MUSIC Nominees were introduced by Kenny Chesney — the reigning ACM entertainer of the year — and the duo Sugarland. The announcement was made at the Country Music Hall of Fame and aired live on CBS "The Early Show" Strait nominated for eight awards Carrie Underwood received five nominations and Big & Rich got four. BY JOHN GEROME ASSOCIATED PRESS NASHVILLE, Tenn. — George Strait led the nominees announced Monday for the Academy of Country Music Awards with eight nominations, including entertainer of the year and top male vocalist. Strait, who has previously won 15 ACM awards, also was nominated as artist and producer for the album "It Just Comes Natural" and the single "Give it Away", which also was nominated for song of the year. "Whenever you get nominated, it's a reflection of a lot of people's hard work," said Cheesney, who is nominated again for entertainer of the year as well as male vocalist. "I feel like I'm still in a dream," said Underwood, the former "American idol" champ whose debut album, "Some Hearts," has sold 5 million Vocal duo Brooks & Dunn got seven nominations and Rascal Flatts earned six. Brooks & Dunn were honored in the entertainer of the year and the top vocal duo categories, and their "Hillbilly Deluxe" was nominated for album of the year. "The longer that I survive in this business the more I appreciate the fans, and the people within the business that make it possible for me to do what I love to do" said Ronnie Dunn, who also picked up a solo nomination for vocal event of the year for "I Don't Want to" with Ashley Monroe. Rascal Flatts' nominations include entertainer of the year, top vocal group, best album and best single for "What Hurts the Most." copies.

Study tries to measure size of worldwide digital content 》 EXABYTES BY BRIAN BERGSTEIN ASSOCIATED PRESS BOSTON — A new study that estimates how much digital information the world is generating (hint: a lot) finds that for the first time, there's not enough storage space to hold it all. Good thing we delete some stuff. The report, assembled by the technology research firm IDC, sought to account for all the ones and zeros that make up photos, videos, e-mails, Web pages, instant messages, phone calls and other digital content zipping around. The researchers also assumed that on average, each digital file gets replicated three times. Add it all up and IDC determined that the world generated 161 billion gigabytes — 161 exabytes — of digital information last year. Oh, the equivalents! That's like 12 stacks of books that each reach from the Earth to the sun. Or you might think of it as 3 million times the information in all the books ever written, according to IDC. You'd need more than 2 billion of the most capacious iPods on the market to get 161 iabytes. The previous best estimate came from researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, who totaled the globes information production at 5 exabytes in 2003. Still, even the 2003 figure of 5 exabytes is enormous — 37,000 Libraries of Congress. BARTONline Dropped a class? Having trouble getting your class schedule to work?

WHITE: The protests that will recognize the fourth anniversary of the Iraq war represent an annoying, outdated means of expression. TUESDAY, MARCH 6, 2007 WWW.KANSAN.COM See Kansan.com for more opinions and Free for All comments THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN OPINION PAGE 7A 》 OUR VIEW Recent gains in Iraq deserve recognition Members of the news media, even those of us toiling in the most humble of venues, are often accused of highlighting the exclusively bad news emerging from the war in Iraq. While it may be true that the bloodiest battles get the most ink, let's also acknowledge that those battles are bigger stories and events than the rebuilding of various components of Iraqi infrastructure. It is unfortunate, but also sadly true, that American deaths garner the most press attention in the faraway war, while positive news goes overlooked or ignored. Let's take time, then, to recognize two important positive developments in the war. In the last two weeks, Iraq has seen major progress in two areas. First, the three major ethnic and religious groups in the fledgling nation agreed in principle to a revenue-sharing accord with regard to Iraq's vast oil deposits. Second, the U.S. and Britain indicated that they are willing to engage in regional diplomatic talks with Iran and Syria, two heretofore blacklisted nations. These two undisputed steps forward are quite significant. The preliminary power-sharing between the three groups in Iraq's new government has been a tumultuous, and a great deal of the obstruction has stemmed from oil revenue disputes. If the Suns, Shites, and Kurds can find a way to agree in total ity on a plan to peacefully divide oil wealth, it will mark an unprecedented breakthrough in the rocky relations between those groups. Similarly, the American and British acknowledgement, however resigned it may be, that seeking regional cooperation and stability with two Middle East powers is of vital importance is encouraging. The evidence of Iran's meddling in Iraq, hyped or otherwise, is troubling and must be addressed. Iran and Syria, despite their radical and lofty rhetoric, have a vested interest in maintaining a stable Iraq. If the U.S. and Britain are prepared to at least concede their relevance in this case, the future of the Middle East looks brighter indeed. No one will be mistaking Iraq for a placid locale anytime soon. The country remains a horrific place, fraught with peril for American soldiers and Iraqi citizens alike. But before we sound the drumbeat of cynicism once again in our reporting, let us recognize that progress is being made. Someday, we can hope, the cradle of civilization at the banks of the Tigris and Euphrates will flourish once again, and the American presence will be but a distant memory. Until that point, we wish the best for all those working for peace and stability. McKay Stangler for the editorial board. >> LETTER TO THE EDITOR Free for All comment spreads intolerance This past Thursday, March 1, The University Daily Kansas Free for All printed a most obscene statement that read, "I thought palm ashes came from the Holocaust?" While a quote like this shows the ignorant nature of the caller it also demonstrates the Kansan's complete and utter disregard of their guidelines for the Free for All which state, "Kansas editors reserve the right to omit comments. Slanderous and obscene statements will not be printed." The lack of professionalism and discretion shown here by numerous members of the Kansan disappoints us severely. As American citizens we would never challenge the right to freedom of speech, but we will challenge the acts of those who are with prejudice and in need of humanizing. We hold it our responsibility, not only as Jews, but as human beings, to bring tolerance and culpability to those who contuse ignorance with humor. Signed, Signed. Liz Cohen, Elliot Kort, Bridey Maidhof, Max Stettner, Allie Stillman, Casey Topol, Sarah Zurovsky KU Hillel Executive Board COMMENTARY New times call for new ways to express discontent Recently "the wire" has been abuzz with activity concerning the upcoming fourth anniversary of the invasion of Iraq, mostly about the numerous and large protests that will recognize this event. People have scheduled and organized gatherings and marches in major cities across the nation, our very own Lawrence included. As you read this, I am sure the countless malcontents are formulating their the conflict. I mean, it's probably one of the biggest explanations for the recent shift in both the Congress and state governnerships. And a pulsing throng chanting outside people's offices just reiterates this. It is redundant, and at best a nuisance. It will likely be viewed as the equivalent of having millions of 8-year-olds screaming "Are we there yet?" from the back seat of our fine nation. slogans. But, frankly, I doubt the effectiveness of these measures, and for two reasons. It is just frightfully cliche.People have been gathering, picketing and yelling in unison for decades now. It's kind of old hat The first is that the American politicians are already aware of the widespread discontent Americans feel about The second reason is that it is just trightfully cliché. People have been gathering, picketing, and yelling in unison for decades now. It's kind of old hat. This means of expressing dissenting opinions has had its time and place, and has now outlived its PATRON HUME BY ZACH WHITE usefulness OPINION@KANSAN.COM It seems that most causes have almost had an intrinsic means of expressing themselves. Gandhi and his fight for Indian independence had hunger strikes, the American civil rights movement had long walks, and bringing back old Coke had apathy-driven boycotts. These particular forms of protest are almost associated with their original purposes, and at worst just cheapen their original uses. most effective for this particular movement to develop its own, new means of portraying itself to the people and policy makers of America and the world. I think the contemporary satire of "The Daily Show" and "Colbert Report" has done a wonderful job of bringing social and political awareness to the public, so they might be on to something. But it will take something original, and someone really intelligent, to take it the step further. And whoever it is, I wish them the best of luck in overcoming the traditional connotation of the heathen hippy currently associated with the anti-war movement.

U.S. stocks fell after trying to steady themselves. Britain's benchmark FTSE 100 fell 0.94 percent, while France's CAC 40 slid 0.73 percent and Germany's DAX dropped 1.041 percent after declines in Tokyo and other Asian markets. "The fact that the FTSE closed Friday's session virtually unchanged may have left some thinking that the recent slide in equity markets may be at an end, but triple-digit losses on the Dow ahead of the weekend break have taken their toll on Asian markets," said Matt Buckland, a trader at CMC Markets. Also sparking jitters was the yen's jump to a three-month high against the dollar as investors reversed so called yen carry trades. A decline in this trading practice, which involves borrowing money at Japan's ultra-low interest rates to invest in higher-yielding assets elsewhere, could hurt global liquidity. U. S. markets fluctuated as investors tried to size up where the market was headed. The Dow Jones industrial average traded in a 150-point range before closing near its session lows, falling 63.69, or 0.53 percent, to 12,050.41. Major Latin American markets all extended their recent downturn. In Brazil, Sao Paulo's Bovespa index finished down 2.8 percent, Mexico City's IPC index shed 2.0 percent and the IPSA index in Santiago, Chile ended 1.1 percent lower. In Buenos Aires, Argentina, the benchmark Merval index gave back 3.0 percent. Tokyo's Nikkei 225 index tell for a fifth day, tumbling 575.68 points, or 3.34 percent, to 16,642.25 points. Journalist suffers suspicious death RUSSIA ASSOCIATED PRESS MOSCOW — A military correspondent for Russia's top business daily died after falling from a fifth-story window, and some media speculated Monday that he might have been killed for his critical reporting. Ivan Safronov, the military affairs writer for Kommersant, died Friday in the fall from a window in the stairwell of his apartment building in Moscow, according to officials. His body was found by neighbors shortly afterward. According to the newspaper, the 51-year-old's hat was found on the landing between the fourth and fifth floors, along with a spilled bag of oranges. His apartment was on the third floor. Safronov, who had served as a colonel in the Russian Space Forces before joining Kommersant in 1997, frequently angered authorities with his critical reporting and was repeatedly questioned by the Federal Security Service, the main KGB successor agency, which suspected him of divulging state secrets. No charges were ever filed because Safronov was able to prove his reports were based on open sources, Kommersant said. The paper cited neighbors and other residents of the building as hearing nothing unusual at the time of the incident, around 4 p.m. Friday. With prosecutors investigating the death, Kommersant and other media suggested foul play. "The suicide theory has become dominant in the investigation, but all those who knew Ivan Safronov categorically reject it." Kommersant wrote in an article Monday. Safronov's colleagues and relatives have described him as a strong, cheerful person who would be extremely unlikely to kill himself. In December, Safronov angered the authorities when he was the first to report the third consecutive launch failure of the new Bulava intercontinental ballistic missile, which President Vladimir Putin had hailed as a basis of the nation's nuclear might for years to come. Authorities never acknowledged the launch failure. "For some reason, it is those journalists who are disliked by the authorities who die in this country," the daily Moskovsky Komsomolets said Monday. "Ivan Safronov was one of those. He knew a lot about the real situation in the army and the defense industries and he reported it." The Moscow prosecutor's office did not respond to repeated calls for comment about the investigation into his death, and neighborhood prosecutors could not immediately be reached. In a report that may have been aimed to quash speculation of foul play, the ITAR-Tass news agency quoted an unidentified law enforcement source as saying investigators had "not even any minimal information" pointing to the possibility of murder. Russia is among the most dangerous countries for journalists and is plagued by attacks on reporters who seek to expose official corruption and other abuses. The problem was highlighted by the October killing of Anna Politikovskaya, an investigative reporter and a harsh critic of human rights abuses in Chechnya. The New York based Committee to Protect Journalists said in January that 44 Russian journalists have been killed since 1992, making Russia the third-deadliest country for journalists after Iraq and Algeria during that time. Thirteen journalists have been killed in contract-style murders since Putin took office in 2000, the group said. "YOUR MOTHER IS NOT YOUR PERSONAL SERVANT, YOUNG MAN."

BAGHDAD, Iraq — A suicide car bomber turned a venerable book market into a deadly inferno and gunmen targeted Shite pilgrims Monday as suspected Sunni insurgents brought major bloodshed back into the lap of their main Shite rivals. At least 38 people died in the blast and seven pilgrims were killed.

Al-Sadr also opened the door for U.S. and Iraqi troops to enter the Mahdi stronghold of Sadr City in Baghdad — under a painstaking deal with authorities — but his loyalists are still being hunted outside the capital. "Al-Sadr and his forces could be inside siege under siege," said Alreza "Papers from the book market were floating through the air like leaflets dropped from a plane" NAEEM AL-DARAJI Health Ministry worker resisted full-scale retaliation through a combination of self-interest and intense government pressure. But the militia's leader, the radical cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, is now being cornered in new ways that have put him Nourizadeh, chief researcher at the London-based Center for Arab-Iranian Studies. "That makes them less predictable. That means they are more dangerous." One possible sign of brewing troubles was 30 bullet ridden bodies found across Baghdad. Many of those killings are blamed on Shiite death squads, and Monday's figure was the highest in weeks. And the Sunni extremists keep pressing. Within seconds, flames engulfed open-air stalls and shops brimming with books and magazines. Gas-powered generators — needed because of frequent power cuts — exploded one by one. The suicide bombing tore through booksellers and other stores on narrow Mutanabi Street, a mostly Shisler-run commercial area in Baghdad's historical heart along the Tigris River. Bloodstained pages that escaped the fire were carried away in a wind-whipped pillar of black smoke. Firefighters had to spray huge arches of water from blocks away because their trucks were too large for the warren of lanes in old Baghdad. At least 38 people died and 105 were injured, said Raad Jabar, a Health Ministry official. "Papers from the book market were floating through the air like leaflets dropped from a plane," said Naeem al-Daraji, a Health Ministry worker. But the final casualty count may not be clear until Tuesday. Fire crews still battled the blazes more than 12 hours after the attack, said civil defense Maj. Gen. Abdul Rasoul al-Zaidi.

BY TRAVIS ROBINETT KANSAN COLUMNIST @KANSAN.COM It's March Madness, the it's alliterate month of the year. But does March really need the extra adjective? It's spring break and non-stop, single elimination basketball. The best month of the year doesn't need any more advertising. The selection process is inexact and unpredictable. My advice is to just say no to "bracketology." The bracket you see on Selection Sunday is the only one that matters. What these self-proclaimed experts say does not make a difference. My point? Too much emphasis is placed on March during the five-month duration of the college basketball season. This has fans drooling for bracket projections all season, but especially now. It's like the whole world of college basket球 wants to know who's in, whos out and who the No.1 seeds will be. So the media gives into the fan's demands and pumps out "bracketologists" by the baker's dozen. By the way, a "bracketologist" is someone who believes the selection process is as an exact science and uses past trends and numbers to predict the tournament field. It's almost as if it's a new career. Using "bracket" and "prediction" in a Google search, nearly one million results turned up. Of course in reality, these "brack etologists" don't know what they're talking about. If you'd really like to know how a bracket is made, read one of the articles written after 20 reporters were shown the inside of the selection committee's process on Feb. 7. Before then, it was unexplored territory. The results of that day debunked a key myth that "bracketologists" still cling to; the importance of the RPI. ESPN's Andy Katz wrote in his report on the event: "The RPI was on the screen when teams were compared, but a team's RPI wasn't used in any argument that was discussed among the entire group." Flaws are a part of the RPI, which is a computer rating system based on winning percentage and strength of schedule. The committee acknowledges this fact, but the national experts in the media won't stop talking about the importance for a team to have wins against the RPI top 50. The committee explained how everything works to the group. Then the group became the committee for a day to make a bracket themselves. MEN'S BASKETBALL Wright's performance earns him top honors BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS The awards keep rolling in for this year's team, and Julian Wright has been the big winner so far for the layhawks. The sophomore forward was named All-Big 12 first team by both the Big 12 coaches and The Associated Press. He also was named the co-Big 12 Player of the Week. "He changes how teams have to play us," coach Bill Self said. "For a guy at his size to get 13 rebounds in a big game, it's very valuable. It is good to see that a guy can do so many things to impact a game and it not necessarily be all about points." Teammate Russell Robinson said he was impressed by Wright's performance on the boards during that game. Wright averaged 8.1 rebounds per game during the season, the most on the team. "The most impressive thing to me about Julian is his rebounding," he said. "He's a hard worker and a great player." "The Florida game may have spoiled us into thinking he should be doing those things on a consistent basis." Self said. "That's like saying Kevin Durant should be scoring 20 points every 12 minutes." But he can make baskets, too. He scored a career high 33 points against Missouri and 21 points when the Jayhawks defeated then-No. 1 Florida in Las Vegas. Wright shared the Big 12 Player of the Week award with Durant, a freshman at Texas.

KANSAN File Photo KANSAN File Photo WWOMEN'S BASKETBALL McIntosh offers offense more options Taylor McIntosh puts up a shot against a Missouri defender. Coach Bonnie Hendrickson will look to McIntosh to play a key role in today's Big 12 tournament match up against Oklahoma State in Oklahoma City, Okla. KANSAS 13 Freshmen will look to guard for help today against Oklahoma State BY CASE KEEFER It wasn't an outstanding practice, an inspirational meeting or even a great game that coach Bonnie Henrickson points out as the moment she knew Taylor McNitosh was ready to become an offensive weapon. No, Henrickson remembers a text message after a 78-58 loss to Nebraska from the tumor guard. "It was a text message I got from her after I told her she did a great job," she said. "It said 'Coach, I'm trying to be the offensive post player you've been begging for in practice'." Despite the 20-point loss, it was a turning point for the layhawks' season. McIntosh scored a then career high 16 points against the Cornhuskers. But more importantly it opened the gates for McIntosh to continue improving offensively for the rest of the season. Entering the game, she averaged just over four points per game. Since the loss at Nebraska, McIntosh is averaging over nine points per game entering the Big 12 Conference Tournament. "The guards used to get stuck and just throw up a three or try to get it to Shaq." McIntosh said, "But now with more pressure on her. I'm making myself more available to help on offense." McIntosh has scored in double figures in five of Kansas' last nine games and has been a key component to its improbable four late season conference wins. "I think she took it to heart when we were struggling so much to score inside." Henrickson said. By being a solid fixture densely in the paint, McIntosh is one of only two jayhawks that have started every game this season. But she seldom showed much scoring ability early in the season, which often led to lopsided points in the paint margins. However, Henrickson never doubted that McIntosh could become an efficient scorer and continued to challenge her. Henrickson noticed trends in McIntosh's shot that led to her optimism. "When Taylor struggles offensively, it's when she is shooting not to miss it," Henrickson said. "When she shoots it to make it, she makes tough shots." This was best evidenced by Thursday's win at Missouri. McIntosh scored a career high 17 points on 80 percent shooting from the field, connecting from many different spots on the court. The win was extra special considering when the Tigers came to Lawrence, McIntosh had one of the worst games of her season. "Against Missouri at our place, she played without an ounce of confidence in the paint, shorted everything, and got rejected." Henrickson said, "I told her you are so much better than that and you owe yourself and your teammates a lot more than that." McIntosh responded in Columbia and didn't let her flurry of stop points SEE MCINTOSH ON PAGE 6B 》 BASEBALL Players gain confidence during home games BY ALISSA BAUER After being empty for nearly an extra month, Kansas' Hoglund Ballpark is booked this week, playing host to four games in four days. Because of below-freezing temperatures and poor field conditions, the North Dakota State series was cancelled earlier this season. To make up for those games, coach Ritch Price had to find opponents to fill the gaps. The Jayhawks (9-5) face the Tabor Bluejays (5-6) this afternoon at 4 p.m. after completing their first doubleheader at home Sunday. On Wednesday, the Jayhawks play Baker. "I think the big thing is we need to get outside," Price said. "Take pre-game BP, take infield/outfield, play against somebody else's different jersey and get the confidence level up" The confidence level rose after completing a two-game sweep Sunday against Western Illinois. The Jayhawks out-scored the Leathernecks 21-8 but committed seven errors in the doubleheader. "We've been pretty solid defensively and errors are going to happen," said junior shortstop Erik Morrison was a little shaky defensively, posting two errors in the second game against Western Illinois, but he did plenty of redeeming at the plate. He enters today's game Morrison. "It's just a matter of how we rebound from the errors and come back and keep ourselves up, keep focused and keep confident and make a plus play later on in the game and redeem yourself." smoking hot after a 5-for-8, three RBI day on Sunday. Sophomore catcher Buck Afenir also found his groove at home this weekend. Afenir belted a home run in each game, one of which was a grand slam to put the first game against the Leathernecks away in early innings.

The top two teams in each division oft to play their championship game in Allen Fieldhouse. The 2007 intramural basketball tournaments officially began Sunday and feature 180 men's and women's teams that have been placed into seven different brackets. Every team got to play three pool play games before the seeding meeting that was held last Friday night at Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union. The teams with the best records were given first choice of when and who they wished to play through a lottery system, while the less successful teams were given the later picks. The men's open recreational tournament includes 55 teams, the most of any of the seven brackets. Next are the men's greek tournament, which features 36 squads, and the co-recreational and men's open competitive tournaments, which have 33 and 32 teams, respectively. Ten teams are playing in the women's open tournament, eight are competing in the men's residential hall tournament, and six teams have been placed in the women's greek tournament. Last Sunday's play began with several play-in games in the bigger brackets. By winning one of these games, a team would earn the chance to play in the second round against a team that had received a first-round bye and therefore had been given exemption from having to play an extra game. While most teams that were given the chance opted to have a first-round bye, other teams decided to play in the first round, with hopes of getting to play an extra game in the tournament. Damon Lang, Oskaloosa freshman, played on the men's open recreational Team 2 Legit 2 Quit, which fell 55-45 to Off in the Woods in the first round of play. "We played pretty well, they were just bigger than we were. Lang said. "We just couldn't come out with the win. Overall, playing intranural basketball was a pretty good experience." Most teams were scheduled to play their first games this week, but many others have to wait until as late as March 11 before playing their first tournament games. As tournament play continues, teams may be forced to play games every other day, and some teams that keep on winning face the possibility of playing two games in a single night. Nearly all of the rules are the same for the intramural basketball tournaments, but there are a few exceptions. Unlike regular season play, if a game is tied at the end of regulation, then a two minute overtime will be played. Also, any team receiving two technical fouls during a game will automatically be forced to forfeit the game. The venue for the championship game of each tournament changes, and the two top teams in each division earn the right to play their final games in Allen Fieldhouse.

Indeed, Paris figures to be an inside force for the second-seeded Sooners in the Big 12 tournament, which starts Tuesday. But with the postseason here, the Big 12 teams that are playing the best are the ones with strong point-guard play. "It looks like point guards have been putting their teams on their backs and carrying them, and that's what great ones do. They want to make plays. They want the ball in their hands at crucial times," Texas Tech coach Kristy Curry said. After a mideseason slump, 11th- ranked Oklahoma (23-4) has won five straight games after coach Sherri Coale introduced freshman Jenna Plumley at the point. Oklahoma State, winless in Big 12 play last year, surged to an 8-8 league record, a sixth-place finish and the NCAA tournament boulder thanks in good part to another freshman point guard, Andrea Riley. Fifth-seeded Iowa State (22-7) has won five straight and features the Big 12's assist leader in senior Lyndsay Medders. Junior AQuonesia Franklin helped top-seeded and 13th-ranked Texas A&M (2-5) go 5-0 this season against the league's next three seeds, Oklahoma, Baylor (24-6) and Nebraska (22-8). Junior Angela "I've never had a great team without a great point guard." Oklahoma State coach Kurt Budke said. "You're only as good as the leadership running your team." Tuesday's first-round games will pit Colorado against Texas Tech, Iowa State against Kansas State, Texas against Missouri and Oklahoma State against Kansas. The top four seeds received byes and will play Wednesday against Tuesday's winners.

Edited by Sharla Shivers Sophomore leads victory over George Mason BY HANK KURZ JR. ASSOCIATED PRESS RICHMOND, Va. — With a wild rally in the final two minutes, Virginia Commonwealth did what all those big-conference powerhouses couldn't last year — knock off George Mason in March. Eric Maynor made two key steals and scored nine straight points down the stretch, sending the top-seeded Rams to the NCAA tournament with a 65-59 victory in the Colonial Athletic Association championship game Monday night. Maynor scored on a steal and layup, then was fouled and finished the three-point play with 1:55 left. He stole the ball on the next possession and made a layup to tie it with 1:46 to go, then followed a miss by the Patriots by driving and making a leaner over Darryl Monroe with 46.5 seconds to play. After the Rams' Wil Fameni swatted away a shot by the Folarin Campbell, Maynor rebounded a missed 3-pointer and was intentionally fouled with 19.1 seconds left. He made both free throws, giving the Rams a 61-57 lead, and they held on to win, claiming their first automatic berth in the NCAA tournament since they also won in 2004. The Patriots (18-15) made a captivating run from at large entry to the Final Four last season, beating traditional powers Michigan State, North Carolina and Connecticut along the way. The Rams (27-6), who set a CAA record with 16 league wins in the regular season, reached the tournament in their first season under head coach Anthony Grant. Grant was hired away from NCAA champion Florida after Jeff Capel left for Oklahoma last April. The Rams played from behind much of the game, several times rallying to pull even before the Patriots pulled away again. The last time came on a 5-0 run to Maynor, who scored 14 of his 20 points in the second half and added seven rebounds and four assists, made sure of it, and was voted the tournament's most valuable player. Fameni added 13 points and eight rebounds and Calvin Roland scored 12 for VCU. give George Mason a 57-52 lead with 2:22 left, and this time VCU didn't stop at getting even. Roland's free throw and basket pulled the Rams even at 52, but the Patriots responded as they had all game, getting a three-point play from Thomas and two free throws from Campbell after his steal and full court drive. The Patriots got 12 points from Dre Smith and 10 each from Gabe Norwood and Will Thomas, but they scored just two points in the last 2:22 of the game. VCU had 13. Then Maynor took over, and the Patriots' improbable run to another tournament was over. George Mason was the first team in CAA history to play four games in four nights, having arrived as a sixth seed and beating No. 3 Hofstra and No. 2 Old Dominion. The Rams used an 8-2 run to take a 49-47 lead with 5:22 left. Roland started it with a dunk, Fameli scored inside, Maynor scored on a drive and lesse Pellot-Rosa scored on a putback. But once again, the Patriots answered. Norwool swished a line-drive 3-pointer from the right wing, and Thomas' basket inside gave Mason a 52-49 edge. The Patriots scored six straight early in the second half to open a 37-30 lead, their biggest to that point. But the Rams answered immediately, and Pellot-Rosa's rebound of his own missed jumper and layup tied it at 37. Reaching the top Scott K. Brown/Associated Press Over 40 Toppings To Choose From!

Edited bv Sharla Shivers WWOMEN'S BASKETBALL Jayhawks are tougher this time around BY CASE KEEFER Kansas may have defeated Missouri to end the regular season Thursday, but the result ultimately caused Oklahoma State to lose the most. Now, instead of facing a deflated Kansas State team in the first round of the Big 12 Conference Tournament in Oklahoma City today, the Cowgirls will have to play the surging lawfhaws. Less than a month ago, it seemed as if Kansas (10-19, 4-12) had cemented itself at the bottom of the Big 12 standings. Then the hawthays went 4-3 to end the season and passed Kansas State to move up to the No. 11 seed in the tournament. "Everybody this time of the year is playing for something" coach Bonnie Henrickson said, "We'll be ready, we've got good momentum going into the tournament." As the No. 6 seed, Okla h a m a State (20-9, 8-8) may need an impressive performance in Oklahoma City to get into the NCAA tournament. "We get Oklahoma State, it's another shot at them and trying to get a win." senior guard Shaquina Kansas. "Everybody this time of year is playing for something. We'll be ready, we've got good momentum going into the tournament." on the other hand, will be upsetminded and seeking revenge. The Cowgirls beat the Jayhawks 68-54 early in the conference season. BONNIE HENRICKSON Women's basketball coach Mosley said, "It's like getting a rematch." Missouri. With Mosley as the floor general the lajhayaws have fared well in rematches recently. Their last two victories have come avenging early season losses against Kansas State and Plus, much has changed since the two teams last faced. Senior guards Mosley and Sharita Smith didn't even start in the game against the Cowgirls. Since then, both have started nearly every game and Mosley is averaging 16 points a game. Smith has been pivotal defensively, holding virtually all of the players she guarded to less than their season average. "The Oklahoma State game seems like such a long time ago," Henrickson said. "But they were aggressive and jumped out on us early. We've got to better on Riley and Green." Guards Danielle Green and Andrea Riley are two of Oklahoma State's most potent offensive players. They combined for 25 points and eight assists last time against Kansas. With Moseley and Smith in the Jayhawk backcourt, the two won't find it as easy to get into a rhythm this time around. Kansas knows its poor regular season has placed it at a disadvantage in the tournament. The Jayhawks, however, are determined to use whatever means necessary to end their season on a high note. "We don't want to be able to say our last game we didn't give it our all," junior forward Taylor McIntosh said. "So we want to go in there, make a run and play as hard as we can."

Edited by Darla Slipke >> PGA Golfer turns himself in, still wins BY TIM REYNOLDS ASSOCIATED PRESS PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. — Mark Wilson was a math major at North Carolina and contesses that one of his favorite things is crossing off items on his to do lists. He can now erase the top entry on that sheet of goals. Wilson made a birdie to beat lose Coerces on the third playoff hole and win the Honda Classic at PGA National on Monday, the 32-year player's first PGA Tour victory in 111 career tries. He won a fourman playoff that began Sunday, was interrupted by darkness, then ended when he hit from 10 feet on the par-3 17th hole. "I didn't sleep very good last night at all just because I really wanted to finish it off here and win," he said. a 30-tooter — in near-dark conditions, remember — on the playoff first hole. He got into the playoff with some big putts Sunday; par from 45 feet on the 16th hole, par from 8 feet on the final regulation hole, then Some of his competitors acknowledged buckling under pressure. Wilson seemed cool the whole way. "Maybe in these moments, I'm nervous," said Cocenes, who also lost a playoff to Fred Funk last week at the tour's stop in Mexico. "Mr. Wilson, he played very good." With the win, Wilson got a $990,000 winner's check, an exemption through the 2009 season and a reprieve from making an 11th consecutive trip to the tour's qualifying school. He also vaunted 179 spots to No. 86 in the world rankings. And, if he can stay in the top 10 on the money list, he has a chance at playing the Masters for the first time. His caddie, Chris Jones, got two things: a nice cut of Wilson's earnings, and a huge sense of relief. Wilson, Coceres, Boo Weekley — who missed a 3-foot par putt Sunday on the 18th hole that would have given him his first career win — and Camilo Villegas all finished the 72 regulation holes at 5-under 275. But Wilson's score included a two-stroke penalty from his round of 66 on Friday, after Jones made a major goof. On the fifth tee Friday, Jones overheard Villegas and his caddie talking about club selection at that par 3 hole. Jones blurted out, "It's an 18 degree," referring to the hybrid club that Wilson carries in his bag. Offering advice to competitors like that is against the rules, and Wilson knew it. So he summoned a rules official at the next hole and docked himself two shots. "I felt like I almost cost us this tournament Friday," said Jones, who cried after Friday's round and was fighting tears after Wilson got the win Monday. "But he hung in there and knew I didn't mean to do it. It was just a mental error. ... A lot of guys wouldn't have even called it on themselves."

The Big 12 Freshman of the Year is averaging 13 points and four assists per game. As an added bonus, Riley's assist-to-turnover ratio is more than 1-to-1, an exceptional stat for any point guard, let alone a freshman. As a whole, the Cowgirl offense is a balanced and well-oiled machine, complete with four players averaging double-digit points per game. Kansas has had a topsy-turvy season on the offensive end. Most recently, the Jayhawks enjoyed an outstanding offensive outing in a 70-66 victory at Missouri. Junior forward Taylor McIntosh and senior guard Shaquina Mosley both had career-high point totals. Freshman forward Danielle McCray has started to show some long awaited consistency lately, scoring in double digits in three of the last four games. Defense: Advantage: Oklahoma State's defense is ranked second in the Big 12 for two reasons. Riley and Maria Cordero. Riley provides the quickness on the perimeter and Cordero the toughness under the basket. Cordero, a junior center, has 20 blocked shots to go along with 45 steals. Riley will pester the lajhawk guards constantly with her quick hands and impressive agility. Kansas' defense has improved throughout the conference season. At the beginning of the season, the lajhawks lacked the toughness and grit that lead to great defense. Sharita Smith's emergence solved that problem. The senior guard provides little in the way of offense, but never relents on defense, a trait that will be useful against the outstanding Oklahoma State murders. Advantage: 8 STATE STATE Momentum: Both teams enter the tournament on hot streaks. Kansas won three of its final six games. The team's spirit is high after spoiling Missouri's senior night celebration last week, and Mosley and McIntosh appear to be hitting their strides at the perfect time. Oklahoma State recovered from a mid-season collapse to win the final three games of the conference season. Victories against Texas and Kansas State were expected, but the Cowgirls' 63-60 victory over Nebraska was an impressive upset. Oklahoma State brings a little bit of added incentive to the Big 12 tournament: An NCAA tournament bid. If the Cowgirls manage to win one or two games in Oklahoma City this week, they will be in line for an at-large bid to the Big Dance. Advantage: STATE — Asher Fusco NFL DENVER — The Denver Broncos and running back Travis Henry have reached an agreement on a five-year deal Monday with $12 million in guaranteed bonuses. Edited by Joe Caponio BY PAT GRAHAM ASSOCIATED PRESS Broncos sign Titan running back Henry was released by the Tennessee Titans on Saturday after the two sides couldn't restructure a contract that contained an $8.3 million bonus that was due Monday. He rushed for 1,211 yards and seven touchdowns last season for Tennessee. The Broncos did not announce the signing of Henry, which was disclosed by a person familiar with the deal who requested anonymity because it had not yet been signed. The Broncos were looking for a running back after dealing last season's leading rusher Tatum Bell to Detroit — along with an offensive lineman and a fifth-round pick for cornerback Dre' Bly. The Broncos also signed special teams player/fullback Paul Smith to a three-year deal, Smith's agent Steve Baker confirmed Monday. Smith, 29, played last season for the St. Louis Rams. He has 46 carries for 210 yards in his career, which includes three seasons with Detroit and three more in San Francisco. "It's a fantastic fit for Paul," Baker said. "Denver is running back heaven.

Big 12 Coach of the Year Gary Blair's game plan revolves around tough interior defense and a balanced scoring attack. If Texas A&M has one weak spot, it is its pedestrian 6-5 record away from home. No.2 Oklahoma Don't let the No. 2 seedling fool you! The Sooners are the best team in the Big 12. Oklahoma lost three QU ended up in second place by virtue of a treblebreak, but has the potential to advance deep into both the Big 12 Tournament and the NCAA tournament. Center and Big 12 Player of the year Courtney Paris is certainly the most dominant player in the Big 12, and perhaps in the entire nation. No.3-Baylor BU Baylor has remained a staple in the Top 25 this season because of forward Bernice Mosby. Florida. Mosby was named Big 12 Newcomer of the Year and averaged 18.1 points per game. The Bears are not great on defense, but outscored their opponents often enough to finish 24-6 overall. No.4—Nebraska The Cornhaskers endured an ugly four-game losing streak late in the season but managed to hold on to the fourth seed. The senior leadership provided by forward Chelsea Aubry and guard Kiera Hardy will be the key for Nebraska in the postseason. The N pair gives Nebraska an inside-outside combination that totaled 25 points per game this season. No. 5 — Iowa State IRON STATE SCHOOL Despite guard Lindsey Meddies 35 percent mark from the field, the senior still managed to make the All Big 12 first team and led the Cyclones to five consecutive wins to close out the season. The late run placed Iowa State in a perfect position: A first place match-up against a Kansas State team that is falling apart at the seams. No. 6 — Oklahoma State 8 STATE Oklahoma States 8-8 conference record does not illustrate how strong the team truly is. The Cowgirls finished the regular season ranked third in the conference in scoring margin. Basically, Oklahoma State either blew out the opposition or barely lost. Oklahoma State has some additional motivation: An at-large NCAA bid may be possible if they earn a first-round victory. No.7 Texas At the beginning of the decade, coach Jody Conradt had turned Texas into a perennial national title contender. Those days are no longer. Texas stumbled to a 6-10 conference record and will most likely need to win the Big 12 Tournament to secure a spot in the NCAA tournament. Based on talent alone, Texas has a shot at advancing deep into the conference tournament. Colorado managed to win six conference games on the shoulders No.8- Colorado of forward Jackie McFarland. The All-Big 12 First Team honoree averaged 17 points and 11 rebounds per contest during the regular season. Other than McFarland, the Buffaloes do not possess any other threats to speak of. No. 9 — Texas Tech T After a 5-3 start in conference play, things turned sour for the Lady Raiders. They dropped seven of their final eight games and slid into the bottom-third of the standings. Tech's biggest problem is its inability to score consistently. No.10 - Missouri Missouri's 5-11 conference record can be blamed on shaky guard play. All season long, forwards Tiffany Brooks and EeTisha Riddle have combined to be one of the most physically imposing frontcourt duos in the Big 12. If the Tigers receive any positive contribution from offensively challenged guard Blair Hardiek, they have a chance to be the Cinderella team. No.11 Kansas The story of Kansas season is one of the more intriguing in the conference this year. KU After falling to 0-9 in conference, Kansas received boosts from senior guard Shaquina Mosley and a bevy of freshmen during a late stretch that pulled the team from the bottom of the conference standings. No. 12 — Kansas State This has been a frustrating year for the Wildcats. They started LAWRENCE the season 15-2 and even entered the Top 25. Then forward Marles Gipson suffered a season-ending knee injury, which effectively ended the team's season as well. They won just two of their final 13 games on the way to the bottom seed in the tournament. Edited by Joe Caponio >> NHL Penguins shuffle closer to moving to Kansas City BY ALAN ROBINSON ASSOCIATED PRESS PITTSBURGH — The Penguins moved a step closer to leaving Pittsburgh, declaring an impasse Monday in their new arena negotiations with state and local leaders and saving they will actively pursue relocation. "We have made a single-minded effort to bring this new arena to a successful conclusion and keep the team in Pittsburgh," owners Mario Lemieux and Ron Burkle said in a letter to Rendell and local government officials. "... Our good faith ettorts have not produced a deal, however, and have only added more anxiety to what we thought at best was a risky proposition for us moving forward." The breakdown in arena talks came only three days after Gov. Ed Rendell said he felt an agreement was close. It also increases the possibility the Penguins will be playing in Kansas City next season. Contact JoAnna Giffin at 816-501-3601 for more information MBA@Avila.edu MBA In the letter, Lemieux and Burke put the blame for the impasse on government officials, arguing they agreed to pay $120 million over 30 years to help build a $290 million arena and cover construction cost overruns, yet still have not reached a deal. NHI commissioner Gary Bettman became involved in the talks several weeks ago, but also has been unable to finalize an agreement. a Contact JoAnna Giffin at 816-501-3601 for more information. @Avila.edu "We can do no more." Lemieux, the longtime Penguins star, and Burkle said in the letter. The Penguins had an agreement with Isle of Capri Casinos to build the arena at no expense to the team or taxpayers in exchange for a license to build a Pittsburgh slots casino, but a state board in December chose a competing bid. On Jan. 4, the team, state, city and Allegheny County began negotiating an alternate arena funding plan.

The Topeka native began her term in the Senate in 1978 and served for 19 years. She spoke as the honored guest of the Ernie Taylor and Marilyn Stokstad Women's Leadership Lecture at the Robert J.Dole Institute of Politics Tuesday night and said that the women in leadership roles had always held onto their foundations in community and care. "Nancy Pelosi didn't get to be the Speaker of the House by batting her eyes," she said. She said women have continued to gain new roles in the last 15 years by becoming the Speaker of the House, the Secretary of State and a front-runner in the upcoming presidential election. "The good thing is, it's no longer a big deal," Kassebaum Baker said. She said her mother was the biggest influence on her decision to enter into a life of politics, even though her father, Alfred "Alf" Landon, was a former Kansas governor. "She is a down-to-earth, open-minded woman who has done so much," Proulx said. with an old friend. Before her lecture, Kassebaum Baker ate dinner with guests, including some representatives of the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority, of which she had been a member while at the University of Kansas. "It was mother who encouraged me,who really didn't even care for politics," she said. Laurel Prouls, Kappa Alpha Theta president, said she met Kassabuse Baker for the first time Tuesday, but it felt like she was sitting at a table Kassebaum Baker also said Kansas women always had a pioneering spirit, from the women who helped with work on farms to Carry Nation, a Kansas who destroyed taverns in the early 1900s to protest against the sale of alcohol. Kassebaum Baker said it was important today that politics become more balanced and that politicians reain the trust of the nation. Proulx, Liberty, Mo., sophomore, said "I'm pleased to know that there are leaders of her capacity who are still down to their roots." Proulx said. Kassebaum Baker spoke with her about her future after college and gave her insight into what she could become. Although more than 50 years removed from her own time in college, Kassebaum Baker said she continued to care about younger generations and the hoped to help young women realize the opportunities they had open for them.

Students will be given the opportunity to allow the CDC to test small blood samples of their donation for levels of mumps antibody concentrations, which can make a student more susceptible to the infection, or can protect a student from infection. Edited by James Pinick "It's a unique outbreak that we haven't seen in decades," said Margaret Cortese, CDC medical epidemiologist. "We are trying to In addition to the blood test, students will answer a questionnaire about their living situation, exposure to the mumps and possible development of mumps symptoms. Students must also give CDC permission to look at their Mumps, Measles and Rubella vaccine immunization records and other medical charts since January 2006. better understand why it occurred. We don't have all the answers, but by talking to these students, it can help us answer the remaining questions." Cortese said the University of Kansas had required two doses of the MMR vaccine since 1993. She said about 95 percent of students had received the vaccine before the outbreak. "That means the vaccine is working." Cortese said. "The other 99 percent of the roommates were protected." In a roommate study conducted by a CDC representative on campus last year, only one of 93 participating students who were roommates with someone infected with mumps ended up contracting the disease themselves. Albert Barskey, epidemiologist and CDC representative at the KU Blood Drive, said that as of Monday, 40 returning donors were participating in the study. "So far, the study is going well." Barskey said. "Students are very interested and enthusiastic." Barskey said that it was regular procedure for blood banks to keep small samples of blood donations to use for blood-type testing. The CDC will use whatever is left from the blood bank's tests for its antibody testing. "I don't mind helping out," Aude said. "Once they figure out what happened last year, they might be able to prevent problems in the future." Alyssa Aude, Green Bay, Wis., freshman, said she donated last fall and was approached by CDC representatives after donating Tuesday to participate in the study.

Edited by Ashley Thompson KANSAS TURNPIKE Senator proposes extra fee for speeders BY JOE HUNT Speeding on the Kansas Turnpike could result in higher tolls in the future. Sen. David Haley (D-Kansas City) proposed a bill to the Senate that would give turnpike officials the authority to charge drivers based on their average speed. Haley wrote the bill after Gov. Kathleen Sebelius proposed a plan to raise turnpike fees during the next seven years to help fund repairs at state universities. "I'm opposed, completely opposed, to any further increase in turnpike tolls." Haley said "Before the Kansas Turnpike Authority raises tolls on all of us who drive on the turnpike, I would hope this bill will allow raising tolls on only some of us." "People speed to get from one point to another as fast as possible," Haley said. "This would not take the place of law enforcement." The bill does not specify or suggest how much tolls would increase for those who speed, but Haley said he thought drivers should only be charged 15 or 20 cents more for every five mph above 70. Haley said that critics of the bill have pointed out that drivers could just stop off at one of the gas stations or restaurants on the turnpike and wait until their average speed dropped to legal limits. The system would record the time and location drivers entered and exited the turnpike. If drivers went from one point to another in a time span that would be impossible while driving the speed limit, they would be charged extra money. Dana Maher, Omaha senior, said that he didn't like the idea, but it was better than the alternative. "Honestly, I'd rather see it done for speeders than everyone." Maher said. Haley said that opinions of the bill in the Senate were split. shanker shanker Tommy towk, topica sophia, didn't learn, topica "I've heard pros and cons on it," Haley said. "It's a novel idea, an innovation." "I think it's unrealistic." Towle said. "Just having a standard cost would make things run smoother."

Or that there are 31 lost and found sites on campus? "There's never a dull moment, and I'm always meeting someone new" he said. Kris Morford knows all of this and more as a student assistant at the KU Info booth, located on the fourth floor in the Kansas Union. "I love my job" Morford said. "KU Info is the coolest job in the world. I learn something new and interesting every week." "Alumni still call a lot," he said, "It's not as popular with our generation, but it is held very high with the alumni. It has a deep history. It's nice to be a part of the KU Info staff in that regard." Mortford, a Patchinson senior in biology, has worked at KU since 1952. it returned to the Kansas Union in March 2006. He logs 10 hours per week at the booth, where he handles walk-ups, phone calls and e-mails about anything and everything University related. Morford said KU Info dealt with roughly 200 questions per day. Morford said he got about five random calls per day, where callers typically asked for drink specials at bars or, if it was a cold day, whether class had been canceled. More often, Morford is asked to transfer callers to other University departments or local Lawrence businesses. BRIAN MAYER Though KU Info has fundamentally the same purpose as it did many years ago, as technology has changed, so has the program. KU Info now offers a daily tip in The Mortford also occasionally received calls from alumni, who still remember KU Info's phone number — 864-3506 — which hasn't changed since KU Info's creation in the 1970s. University Daily Kansan. Daily tips can also be e-mailed to students. They can sign up for this feature at the Kyou Portal. Mortford himself has benefited from the services of KU Info. If it weren't for the program, he said, he might not know all of the deadlines that he needed to meet before graduating in May. Before Mortford was a staff member, he called KU Info himself to get answers to questions. "My favorite part of the job is helping people get through their college experience," he said. "It's nice to give people a helping hand and help them along the way. I like to provide people with what they need while at the same time learning new things about campus that I normally wouldn't know if it weren't for KU Info." Students can seek answers to their questions by visiting, calling or e-mailing KU Info every weekday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Edited by Ryan Schneider CAMPUS Low blood sugar leads to student's dizzy spells A KU Public Safety officer was called to the fourth floor of the Dole Human Development Center, south of Watson Library, at 11 Tuesday morning because a female student was having dizzy spells.

SCHMIDT The KU Public Safety Office is investigating a series of car burglaries on campus. Between 3:30 a.m. Saturday and 2:30 p.m. Sunday, four vehicles were reportedly broken into in two separate parking lots. Two vehicles were broken into in Lot 114, which is at Stouffer Place. One vehicle had a CD player stolen and damage done to the dashboard, totaling $207. The second vehicle's glove box was disheveled, but no items were taken. In Lot 105 at McCollum Hall, one vehicle had the faceplate of a CD player stolen. The damage was listed at $100. A car stereo was stolen from the other vehicle with a value of $300, plus $100 worth of damage done to the dashboard. Capt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office said no connection had been established between the burglaries, but that the possibility was being investigated because of the time span. He said the Public Safety Office was following up on the reports by checking used-goods stores for the items. Bailey reminded students to take necessary precautions when choosing parking spots. "Park in well-lit areas, with nothing of value in plain sight." Bailey said, "and remove faceplates from stereo systems." Kansan staff writer Erick R Schmidt can be contacted at eschmidt@kansan.com.

ELPHINSTONE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Oil prices lost more than $1 a barrel Monday on continued concerns about stock market declines and an indication by an OPEC official that the cartel won't cut production at its next meeting. Light, sweet crude for April delivery tumbled $1.57 to settle at $60.07 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. earlier, the contract dropped as low as $59.55 a barrel, dipping below $60 for the first time since Feb. 28. Brent crude for April also fell $1.54 to settle at $60.54 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange in London. "There's a general sort of recoil from risk in the market," said Tobin Gorey, a commodity strategist with the Commonwealth Bank of Australia in Sydney. "There are still ongoing ramifications from China's drop last Tuesday. It was a jolt to the global economy." Last Tuesday, the benchmark Shanghat Composite Index plunged 9 percent, triggering huge losses on Wall Street and other markets. The oil market still closed at a twomonth high on Thursday on the news of tightening gasoline supplies, but afterward followed the stock market's downward pull. On Monday, the Shanghai Composite Index tell 1.6 percent, while the Dow Jones industrials dropped 63.69 points to close at 12.050.41. Comments from an oil official that the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries is unlikely to call for another round of production cuts at its March meeting also undermined prices. Qatar's Oil Minister Abdullah bin Hamad al-Attiyah said the cartel won't decrease production if crude oil stays near its current basket price of $58.34 a barrel, according to Dow Jones Newswires. Oppenheimer & Co. Analyst Gadel Helfet said that OPEC aims to keep oil within $55 and $65 a barrel. "Now at $60 a barrel is the sweet spot," Gheit said. "It will not kill demand growth for oil. It will slow it, but we won't see people running to conserve energy. People will get used to it." Escalating tensions between Iran and the United States have buoyed prices lately, but reports on Monday that Iran may participate Saturday in an international conference on Iraq with the United States in attendance also may have "alleviated some of the political premium in the price" of oil, Gheit said. If both countries attend, it would be the first public U.S.-franian meeting in nearly three years. Washington is pushing for tougher U.N. sanctions on Tehran over its failure to comply with demands to halt its uranium enrichment program. Although the United States has said it has no plans for a military strike, the option has not been ruled out. Underlying fundamentals for crude oil remain supportive, analysts said. Last week's U.S. inventories report showed stockpiles of gasoline and distillates, which include heating oil and diesel fuel, dropped by a larger amount than analysts had forecast. Meanwhile, demand for products during the last four-week period rose by 7.5 percent from the same period last year. >> IRAQ WAR Bombers disrupt pilgrimage Mohammed Salman, who lost his brother in Monday's car bomb blast, grieves at the scene of the explosion in central Baghdad, Iraq, on Tuesday. A suicide car bomber turned a venerable book market into a deadly inferno Monday, killing at least 38 people. BY LAUREN FRAYER ASSOCIATED PRESS BAGHIDAD, Iraq — Two suicide bombers blew themselves up Tuesday in a crowd of Shite pilgrims streaming toward the holy city of Karbala, killing as many as 90 people in one of several attacks targeting the faithful ahead of a weekend holiday. The attack came a day after U.S. forces suffered their deadliest day in nearly a month — nine American soldiers were killed in explosions north of Baghdad, the military said Tuesday. The coordinated attack Tuesday happened on a main street in Hillah, about 60 miles south of Baghdad, said Capt. Muthana Khalid. He said up to 90 people were killed and more than 150 wounded. An Associated Press cameraman at the scene said the bombers struck a crowd of pilgrims filing into a pedestrian area. Ambulances and Iraqi police were swarming the area and there was no immediate sign of U.S. forces. Both provinces are Sunni-dominated and have seen a rise in violence since additional U.S. forces U. S. forces continued their push Tuesday into Sadr City, home to 2.5 million of the city's poorest residents as well as fighters loyal to anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr. Some 600 American soldiers searched the neighborhood's northwest quadrant, knocking on doors and searching homes, according to an Associated Press reporter traveling with them. The U.S. forces are seeking a "reconcillatory approach" to avoid a backlash on the streets, said Col. Richard Kim. One group of soldiers were met Tuesday by Iraqi children, offering them ice cream bars. Six American soldiers died when a bomb exploded Monday near their vehicles during a combat operation in Salahuddin province, the military said. Three others were wounded in the blast. Another three soldiers died the same day in a roadside bomb attack in Diyala province northeast of Baghdad. surged into Baghdad as part of a security crackdown three weeks ago. "Our hearts and prayers are with the families right now in their time of loss, and our resolve is stronger to accomplish our mission here," Donnellly said. Monday was "a very traumatic day" for U.S. troops in Iraq, said Lt. Col. Michael Donnelly, a spokesman for U.S. forces in northern Iraq. It was the deadliest day for Americans in Iraq since Feb. 7, when 11 troops were killed — seven when their helicopter was shot down north of Fallujah and four others in combat operations. The highest daily U.S. death toll since the Iraq war began was Jan. 26, 2005, when 37 Americans died in attacks. U. S. officials say as violence has fallen in Baghdad, where the joint U.S. Iraqi security crackdown was in its third week, insurgents have fled the capital for outlying areas, such as those where the soldiers were killed Monday. Saddam Hussein clan hails from Salabuddin, and the late al-Qaida in Iraq leader Abu Musa al-Zarqawi was hiding out in Diyala when he was killed by a U.S. airstrike there last summer. Direct attacks on U.S. forces in Diyala are up 70 percent since last July, according to figures provided by the U.S. military. A suicide car bomber shattered the capital's relative calm Monday, striking a famous book market in the city's oldest quarter and killing at least 38 shoppers. Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki called the bombing "a new message to the world that the terrorists oppose humanity and knowledge" The bombing was seen as an effort by Sunni insurgents to bring major bloodshed back into the capital and into the lap of its Shiite-dominated government. The provocation could also erase Washington's plans for stability during a surge of more than 20,000 additional troops into Baghdad. Meanwhile, Iraqi army units were preparing to deploy along major routes to ensure pilgrims' safety, according to a Defense Ministry statement issued Tuesday. "The Defense Ministry hopes that the citizens will continue the rituals of the pilgrimage safely under efficient security protection," the statement said. The nine U.S. deaths Monday brought to 20 the number of Americans killed in Iraq this month. At least 3,184 members of the U.S. military have died since the beginning of the Iraq war in March 2003.

He was 97. "He passed away peacefully this afternoon surrounded by his family," said Susan Hensley, vice president of public relations for E.&J. Gallo Winery. Gallo, who would have been on March 18, was born near Modesto, a then sleepy San Joaquin Valley town about 80 miles east of San Francisco. He and his late brother and business partner, Julio, grew up working in the vineyard owned by their immigrant father who came to America from Italy's famed winemaking region of Piedmont. They founded the E.&J. Gallo Winery in 1933, at the end or Prohibition, when they were still mourning the murder suicide deaths of their parents. Ernest and Julio rented a ramshackle building, and everybody in the family pitched in to make ordinary wine for 50 cents a gallon — half the going price. The Gallos made $30,000 the first year. It grew to become the world's largest wine company by volume, a title since taken by Constellation Brands of New York. But Gallo remains second, selling an estimated 75 million cases under more than 40 labels. "My brother Italo and I worked to improve the quality of wines from California and to put fine wine on American dinner tables at a price people could afford." Mr. Gallo told The Modesto Bee on his 90th birthday. "We also worked to improve the reputation of California wines here and overseas." Ernest directed sales, devised marketing strategies and kept a short leash on distribution, Julio, who died in 1993, made the wine. Gallo was no less tough on the people who worked for him as on those he battled for business. He also demanded total loyalty from his employees. In 1986, when he learned that two longtime Gallo executives were secretly planning to buy a winery of their own, he fired them on the spot. Gallo was a courtly man who affected Old World manners. But in business he was tenacious, shrewd, aggressive and secretive. He shunned publicity. The reason for the secretiveness, many of their former associates said, was the way his parents had died. Fresno County records say their rather, Joseph, shot their mother, Susie, to death in June 1933, then killed himself. That was two months before the founding of the winery. George Nikitin/ASSOCIATED PRESS George Martin/ASSOCIATED PRESS Wine magistrate Ernest Gallo speaks to delegates at the 23rd general assembly of International Office of the Vine and Wine on Aug. 10, 1993, in San Francisco. Gallo died Tuesday at his home in Modesto, Calif. He was 97.

ROCHESTER, N.Y.— Bausch & Lomb Inc., already humbled by a worldwide recall of its ReNa with MoistureLoc contact lens solution, said Tuesday it was recalling about 1.5 million bottles of ReNa MultiPius because trace amounts of iron could cause the cleaner to lose effective ness earlier than normal. The company said it had carried out a limited voluntary recall of 12 lots of its ReNo MultiPlus solution after getting three customer reports of discolored solution. No one was reported hurt, and the company believes that virtually all of the solution, made about a year ago at its plant in Greenville, S.C., has already been used by lens wearers. About a million bottles of the popular brand were distributed in the United States and another 500,000 in Canada, Korea, Taiwan and Latin America. The company has notified the Food and Drug Administration and regulators in the other affected countries of the recall. "I want to emphasize that this is completely unrelated to and different from the Moisture.loc recall' company spokeswoman Barbara Kelley said. "There have been no serious adverse events associated with this occurrence, and the possibility of a serious adverse event is remote." Bauss & Lomb determined the discoloration was caused by trace amounts of iron found in a single batch of raw material from an outside supplier. As a result, it said, the affected lots could have a shorter shelf life than the two-year expiration date. "From what they're describing, the event that occurred was relatively minor," said Penny Asbell, a professor of ophthalmology at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York. "It's definitely a different story from Moisture1oc. We now understand that certain conditions led to solution to be a very poor disinfectant. And it seems obvious now but quite honestly it wasn't obvious at the time." "The take home message from this event is most people do very well with contact lenses, but there are some risks and they can cut down those risks by following the manufacturers' recommendations." Because Bausch & Lomb has yet to close its accounting process for the year, it cannot estimate earnings per share, but it expects U.S. operations to be unprofitable because of the recall. 中野 裕子 THINKING OF GOING TO LAW SCHOOL?

Col. Tom Collins, the spokesman for NATO's International Security Assistance Force, said Tuesday. NATO advances on Taliban BY FISNIK ABRASHI ASSOCIATED PRESS KABUL, Afghanistan — NATO-led troops launched their biggest offensive yet in Afghanistan, advancing toward the Taliban in a southern stronghold for drug traffickers where hundreds of fighters have massed in recent months. One NATO soldier and four suspected militants were killed Tuesday in combat in the south. The operation, which will eventually involve 4,500 NATO troops and 1,000 Afghan soldiers, was launched Monday at the request of the Afghan government and will focus on the northern part of Helmand province, Col. Tom Collins, the spokesman for NATOS International Security Assistance Force, said Tuesday. NATO hopes it can earn the trust of a population long supportive of the Taliban, setting conditions for President Hamid Karzai's government to establish control in the world's biggest opium producing area, which has drawn hundreds of militants, including those from Central Asia, the Middle East and North Africa, Collins said. The offensive "is focused on improving security in areas where Taliban extremists, narco-traffickers and foreign terrorists are currently operating," Collins said. "Once the security situation is improved, we will begin short- and long-term reconstruction projects" Collins said NATO was working closely with the government to prevent civilian casualties, which have dogged military operations here and caused an outcry by Karzai and other Afghanis. Up to 20 civilian deaths in three incidents Sunday and Monday can be contributed to U.S. or NATO military action, Afghan officials and witnesses say. Dubbed Operation Achilles, the offensive is NATO's largest ever in the country. But it will involve only half the number of soldiers that fought in a U.S. offensive in the same region just nine months ago, when some 11,000 U.S. led troops attacked fighters during Operation Mountain Thrust. Collins said that although thousands of British, American, Canadian and Dutch troops were returning to the same region, the situation was "fundamentally different" this year. He said NATO had a much better opportunity to establish a permanent presence because more troops were in the country. Some 1,500 U.S. troops will take part in Achilles. The government has little control in many parts of northern Helmand, and the British troops stationed there battle almost daily with militants. U.S. intelligence officials say there are now more fighters in the province than anywhere else in the country. British troops have also been battling militants in the nearby district of Kajaki to enable repairs on a hydroelectric dam, which supplies close to 2 million Afghanis with electricity. 》 ART MUSEUM An ISAF statement said one soldier died Tuesday in the south during combat operations, but it gave no further details. Collins said he did not know if the fallen soldier was involved in the new operation Gen. Mohammad Zahir Azimi, the spokesman for the Afghan Defense Ministry, said four suspected militants were killed and two captured at the outset of the operation. الأرامكسي يتحرك في قمة الأمن البحرية العربية، من حيث إدارة الأمن العام بموجب المادة 14 من القانون الدولي للأمن العام. New Louvre looks to open in Persian Gulf Kamran Jebreili/ ASSOCIATED PRESS French Minister for Culture and Communications Renaud Donnelieu de Vabres, left, listens to French architect, Jean Nouvel, second right, as he explains his design of Abu Dhabi Louvre museum at the Emirates palace hotel after the signing ceremony between the government of Abu Dhabi and France for a 30-year cultural accord which will see the Louvre Abu Dhabi museum created within the Cultural district of Saadat Island in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. BY JIM KRANE ASSOCIATED PRESS ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates — France's storied Louvre museum said Tuesday it will open a new Louvre in this Persian Gulf boomtown, prompting outcries from some who accuse the museum of shilling France's patrimony for $1.3 billion in oil money. The 30-year agreement, signed by French Culture Minister Renaud Donnédieu de Vabres and the head of Abu Dhabi's tourism authority, Sheik Sultan bin Tahmoon Al Nahyan, opens the way for the Louvre Abu Dhabi to display thousands of works from some of France's best museums, such as the Louvre, the Georges Pompidou Center, the Musee d'Orsay and Versailles. The museum, designed by French architect Jean Nouvel, will be erected on the Abu Dhabi waterfront, opening sometime after 2012. Donnedieu de Vabres promised that the Paris Louvre would not sell any of its 35,000-piece collection, nor would the deal weaken France's cultural policy or its museums. But prominent figures in the French art world have accused their government of exploiting art for trade and diplomacy and said lending art will overburden French museums. Led by the art historian Didier Rykner, opponents of the Abu Dhabi scheme collected 4,700 signatures to protest it. The ruling sheiks of Abu Dhabi have agreed to spend a staggering sum to bring the Louvre to this fast-developing Arab capital. France will receive $525 million for the use of the Louvre brand alone, a gift of $33 million to renovate a wing of the Paris Louvre. The price of building Nouvel's museum design and is likely to add hundreds of millions of dollars to the cost, pushing the overall project close to $2 billion. The Louvre Abu Dhabi can expect a loan of about 300 French works during its first year, which would France has solid reasons for bringing a Louvre branch to Abu Dhabi, Donniedieu de Vabres said. He said the museum will help reinvigorate France's postcolonial stature in the Arab world. shrink as the museum acquires its own collection, organizers said. The Louvre Abu Dhabi will have to breach significant cultural barriers before it opens because representations of the human figure — even when clothed — can be a religious taboo in the Muslim world.

The proposal calls for the city to spend $1.7 million to relocate the 18.5 acres of federally protected wetlands. A commercial developer would then be allowed to fill in part of Cadillac Lake, which was once known for its bird-watching. Developers NewMarket V LLC and Eastside Development LLC will contribute more than $1 million to the wetlands project, which hinges on approval from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. They hope to create a $31 million commercial development on the land, which would add about 1,500 new jobs and generate about $10.5 million in sales tax. The plan would also alleviate a flooding problem in several Wichita neighborhoods brought on by previous development in the area surrounding Cadillac Lake. Under the proposal, the city and developers would share the $2.9 million cost of designing and digging new wetlands. UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS MEDICAL CENTER Negotiations for pact stall ASSOCIATED PRESS KANSAS CITY, Kan. — With the clock ticking toward a March 31 deadline, officials with the University of Kansas Hospital said negotiations on a new affiliation pact with the University of Kansas Medical Center are stalled. Irene Cumming, the hospital's president and chief executive, told state lawmakers in Topeka on Monday that the medical center has refused a long-term agreement that would provide $400 million in funding. The agreement would also require that the hospital remain the lead teaching hospital for the medical center. Medical center spokeswoman Amy Jordan Wooden said officials there haven't rejected the hospital's offer but they aren't likely to approve conditions that could be considered an exclusivity clause. She also said the medical center believes it can still reach an agreement with the hospital. Kansas City area leaders are pushing to realign the medical center, the university hospital and St. Luke's Health System in Kansas City, Mo., to provide new teaching and research relationships. But Kansas lawmakers and medical officials have criticized the plan, saving they were left out of negotiations and that it could siphon new doctors away from Kansas. Bill could hurt immigrant's benefits 》LEGISLATURE BY CARL MANNING ASSOCIATED PRESS Anthony S. Bush/ Associated Press TOPEKA — Hispanics are Kansas' fastest-growing ethnic group, but legislators continue to pursue immigration policies leading some of them to believe they're not really welcome. Ballet Folklorico de Topeka dancers, Adriana Cortez, 16, left, and John Alfrey, 15, perform for the people in line for lunch March 2 at the Statehouse in Topeka. The dance troop is performing as part of the activities during Hispanic Day on the Hill. Hispanics are Kansas' fastest-growing ethnic group, but legislators continue to pursue immigration policies leading some of them to believe they not welcome. While critics see that message in proposals before the Republican-controlled Legislature, backers say they're responding to demands from constituents to do something about illegal immigration. Lawmakers are considering designating English the state's official language and cracking down on voter fraud. There's talk about denying government services to illegal immigrants, while efforts to impose tougher penalties on employers who hire illegal immigrants have proven problematic. Last year, 84 proposals in 32 states became law, and 570 bills were introduced, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures This year has seen similar activity on issues like education, employment, public benefits and human trafficking. Meanwhile, there's little doubt about demographic trends. The state Hispanic population doubled between 1990 and 2000, and according to the nonpartisan, Washington-based Pew Hispanic Center, it grew an additional 19 percent between 2000 and 2005 to about 218,000 in a population of 2.7 million. A decade ago, immigration was an issue for a half dozen states, but it now spans the nation. "All of the bills send a message of a preoccupation of immigration. It's not based on anything rational," said Melinda Lewis, policy and research director for El Centro, Inc., an advocacy group in the Kansas City area. "There are immigrants in every state, and states are trying to figure out what to do because the federal government hasn't acted," said Sheri Steisel, who follows immigration issues for the NCSL. The English bill has received the most comment so far. The idea still faces criticism even though House The Pew Center estimates that up to 70,000 illegal immigrants are living in Kansas. Lewis said most are from Latin America. House Majority Leader Ray Merrick said Kansans are frustrated and worry that illegal immigrants consume resources and burden the health care system. He said when he surveys his district, "It's the No. 1 issue." members added a provision aimed at bolstering adult language education programs before approving it two weeks ago. "It's a type of racism," said Rodrigo Bonilla, of Salina, state director of the League of United Latin American Citizens. "Some people are uncomfortable to hear people speaking other languages." But Rep. Don Myers, the bills main sponsor, said Bonilla and other critics are "flat wrong." The bill is about helping non-English speakers assimilate into society, so they can fill some of the 3,000 to 5,000 new jobs the state will create over the next three years, he said. "You have to be able to communicate in a common language to get these jobs," Myers said. Denying benefits like welfare and unemployment to illegal immigrants is being pushed by Rep. Lance Kinzer, though his bill wouldn't include education and emergency medical care "The Legislature should take a strong stand that public benefits only are going to those who lawfully should receive them," said Kinzer, R.Olathe. His bill also repeals a 2004 law allowing illegal immigrants to pay lower, in state tuition at state universities if they've graduated from a Kansas high school and are seeking U.S. citizenship. "It's the worst decision they could make," said Cindy Perez, a Pittsburgh State University student from Olathe, who attended an annual Hispanic Day event at the Statehouse last week. "A lot of students are dependent on that. If they are forced to pay out-of-state tuition, there will be fewer students." Meanwhile, a Senate passed bill requires people to prove American citizenship when registering to vote by showing either a birth certificate or U.S. passport. For Those With Green in their Blood...

Sumaryanto Bronto/ Associated Press Indonesian 747 crashes, catches fire BY CHRIS BRUMMITT ASSOCIATED PRESS JAKARTA, Indonesia — A jetliner carrying more than 130 passengers and crew caught fire Wednesday as it landed on Indonesia's Java island, trapping a number of people inside the burning plane, the airline and witnesses said. Officials reported at least eight deaths. Some passengers escaped and rescues battled flames to reach those still on the Boeing 737-400, said Capt. Art Sappi, operations director of national carrier Garuda. Fire fighters put out the blaze after two hours. Sapari did not say how many people were trapped or provide a number on survivors. "I saw at least eight corps piled up at the front of the plane," said Capt. Yos Biantoro, who witnessed the fire at Yogakyarta airport in central Java. Several passengers told local media that there were many survivors. Metro TV reported that a nearby hospital was treating around 60 injured "It caught alight when it landed" said Sapari. He didn't provide any other details. The cause of the accident was unclear, but at least one passenger said the jetliner had overshot the runway. BBC. World television carried footage of raging flames poking through several windows of the passenger compartment. Witnesses said the aircraft had been gutted. Metro TV said that 133 people were listed on the plane's manifest. Among the passengers were Australian journalists and diplomatic staff who were in Indonesia in connection with a visit by Australian Foreign Minister Alexander Downer, said Australian Treasurer Peter Costello in Canberra. The foreign minister was not on the plane. One passenger who survived told local TV station RCTI TV that "before landing I felt the plane shake strongly" "There appears to have been a significant loss of life," said Australian Prime Minister John Howard. "There were up to 10 Australians on board and not all of those have been accounted for." "We overshot the runway, then I heard the sound of an explosion and ran through an emergency exit," continued passenger Muhammad Dimiyat, "I believe many passengers remained trapped on board." Another passenger described smoke in the passenger compartment "Suddenly there was smoke inside the fuselage," said Dien Syasudin, a local Islamic leader. "It hit the runway and then it landed in a rice field. ... I saw a foreigner. His clothes were on fire and I jumped from the emergency exit." Indonesia has been hit by a string of transportation disasters in recent months. In late December, a passenger ferry sank in a storm in the Java Sea, killing more than 400 people. Days later, a passenger plane operated by the budget airline Adam Air crashed into the ocean, killing all 102 people on board. A ship that sank near the capital's port left at least 50 dead. The government responded by saying it would ban local commercial airlines from operating planes more than 10 years old, though most experts say maintenance and the number of takeoffs and landings are the most important factors in preventing accidents. THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN TUESDAY MARCH 11 NEWS 7A 》 CIA TRIAL UNITED STATES PRESIDENT JOHN KENNEDY AND HIS WIFE, MARY KENNEDY. Former White House aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, left, and his wife Harriet Grant, leave federal court Tuesday after the jury reached its verdict in his peruvian trial. Libby was convicted of lying and obstructing a leak investigation. Jury finds Libby guilty BY MICHAEL J. SNIFFEN ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Vice President Dick Cheney's former chief of staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, was convicted Tuesday of lying and obstructing a leak investigation that reached into the highest levels of the Bush administration. The verdict culminated a nearly four year investigation into how CIA official Valerie Plame's name was leaked to reporters in 2003. The trial revealed how top members of the administration were eager to discredit Plame's husband, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, who accused the administration of doctoring prewar intelligence on Iraq. Libby, who was once Cheney's most trusted adviser and an assistant to President Bush, was expressionless as the jury verdict was announced on the 10th day of deliberations. He faces up to 30 years in prison when he is sentenced June 5 but under federal sentencing guidelines is likely to face far less. Defense attorneys immediately promised to ask for a new trial or appeal the conviction. The case brought new attention to the Bush administration's muchcriticized handling of weapons of mass destruction intelligence in the run up to the Iraq war. "We have every confidence Mr. Libby ultimately will be vindicated," defense attorney Theodore Wells told a throng of reporters. Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald, who has led the leak investigation, said no additional charges would be filed. That means nobody will be charged with the leak and Libby, who was not the source for the original column outing Plame, will be the only one to face trial. "I think that any administration that has to go through a prolonged news story that is unpleasant and one that is difficult — when you're under the constraints and the policy of not commenting on an ongoing criminal matter — that can be very frustrating" she said. Perino said "I would not agree" with any characterization of the verdict as embarrassing for the White House. Libby was convicted of one count of obstruction, two counts of perjury and one count of lying to the FBI about how he learned Plame's identity and whom he told. Prosecutors said he learned about Plame from Cheney and others, discussed her name with reporters and, fearing prosecution, made up a story to make those discussions seem innocuous. Libby said he told investigators his honest recollections and blamed any misstatements on a faulty memory. He was acquitted of one count of lying to the FBI about his conversation with Time magazine reporter Matthew Cooper. White House deputy press secretary Dana Perino said Bush respected the jury's verdict but "was saddened for Scooter Libby and his family." outside court said the jury had 34 poster-size pages filled with information they distilled from the trial testimony. "Even if he forgot that someone told him about Mrs. Wilson, who had told him, it seemed very unlikely he would not have remembered about Mrs. Wilson," the juror, Denis Collins, said. One juror who spoke to reporters Collins, a former Washington Post reporter, said jurors wanted to hear from others involved in the case, including Bush political adviser Karl Rove, who was one of two sources for the original leak. "I will say there was a tremendous amount of sympathy for Mr. Libby on the jury. It was said a number of times, 'What are we doing with this guy here? Wheres Rove?' Where are these other guys?" Collins said. Reaction to the conviction on Capitol Hill was swift. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid welcomed the jury's verdict and called on Bush to pledge not to pardon Libby. Before the trial began, the Justice Department had said that it had no pardon file active for Libby. "It's about time someone in the Bush Administration has been held accountable for the campaign to manipulate intelligence and discredit war critics." Reid said. Wilson and Plame have sued Libby, Cheney and several other administration officials in federal court. Attorneys at the liberal watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics, which brought the lawsuit, praised the conviction and Fitzgerald's team. $SAVE | USED AUTO PARTS | SAVE$ We have the parts you're looking for·Foreign & Domestic parts available (Engines INSTALLATION AVAILABLE (Engines) (Transmissions) (Rear Ends) (A/C Compressor) Starters Alternators (A/C Compressors) Full Line of Aftermarket Parts Available • Reconditioned Wheels Auto Glass Body Parts} WE BUY CARS!

She gave officers no indication of any threats against Emily, Parsley said, and told police that her ex husband, a property manager for the state Department of Natural Resources, had recently taken the girl to Cancun for a few days of vacation. The couple had divorced in November after 12 years of marriage, Pace said. said Tuesday. The mother-in-law, Vivian Pace, wasn't injured and told reporters outside her damaged home Tuesday about the phone call. Beth Johnson went to the Bedford Police Department the morning of the crash to file a missing person report, police Maj. Dennis Parsley said Tuesday. She said her daughter, Beth Johnson, was worried after young Emily didn't show up for school after a weekend vacation with her father. She finally reached Eric Johnson by cell phone shortly before the crash. ("Emily) was to spend the weekend with dad, and dad was supposed to bring her to school Monday morning," Parsley said. "I've got her, and you're not going to get her," he told her, according to Pace. "That was the only way he could hurt Beth. That was the only way he could get to her," she said. At Parkview Primary School in Bedford, where Emily was a first-grader, counselors were called in to help the students, Principal Sari Wood said Tuesday. State and Bedford police were treating the case as a suicide and homicide, State Police 1st Sgt. Dave Bursten said. He said they had yet to find any notes indicating Johnson's intentions with the flight, but the fact that the house was his ex-wife's mother's home raised serious questions. morning. Less than two hours later, officials said, the plane smashed into a wall of Pace's home. Johnson, a student pilot who had soled before, had taken off in a leased, single-engine Cessna from a southern Indiana airport near Bloomington on Monday Andrew Todd Fox of the National Transportation Safety Board declined to say if Johnson, 47, said anything through the plane's radio before the crash. The airport has no controller on duty, so no recording was available of any communication, he said. Pace believes the crash was deliberate. "All of those things together lead us in the direction that this was done intentionally," Bursten "We're all grieving over this," Wood said. "She just was one of those really friendly, really open little kids." PETE MAYER Darron Cummings/ASSOCIATED PRESS Vivian Pace talks about the plane that crashed into her home in Bedford, Ind.

EDITORIAL: University etitquette dinners should better address the equal role of women in the professional world. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 7, 2007 WWW.KANSAN.COM See Kansan.com for more opinions and free for All comments THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN OPINION PAGE 9A 》 OUR VIEW Dinners should empower women The University Career Center hosts routine etiquette dinners to teach students to dine with strangers in business situations. In these dinners students can learn to butter their bread properly and to appropriately pass the salt and pepper shakers. They can also learn manners that are archaically prim and sexist. At the last dinner on Feb. 27, several of the gendered instructions needed a 21st Century revision. For instance, it's true that most business executives are men. It's not in the least bit necessary to make quips about gender discrepancy in the business world while teaching students how to behave in front of "he's" as though it is unlikely that this trend will ever change. Nor is it appropriate to teach gendered mannerisms that render women dainty creatures to be cared for. Students at the etiquette dinner were told that when a woman gets up from the table, all the men need to stand up as she leaves and again when she returns. In theory, this custom is respectful. However, because the practice is extremely rare in recent American history, it is more likely to make a woman in a business setting uncomfortably aware of her gender than it is to make her feel confident of her capabilities. The considerate woman unused to this trend may even forgo a trip out of her seat just to avoid making her male acquaintances stand twice. Students at the etiquette dinner were also instructed that, before dining, men must pull out ladies' chairs before the ladies sit down. As the dinner director stated, this is a matter of common, traditional courtesy: "Ladies must be ladies." The director also quipped that kindergarteners who she teaches do not always understand this rule. She reported that some young boys ask something like, "Why do we have to do that stuff even after the women's suffrage movement?" Indeed, why do we? Tradition is not a sufficient enough explanation. For many college women, it is not only awkward if a man pulls out their chair during a business interview, it is patronizing and offensive. If a woman can't freely sit in her own chair without a man coming to her aid, how is she supposed to apply for a professional leadership position? "Ladies" should be polite, not submissive. Kindergarteners comprehend this, and so should we. It's one thing to encourage men to act gentlely on a date; it is quite another thing to teach men that they are required to "escort" women to their seats when dining in business environments. Such old-fashioned mannerisms may seem harmless but nonetheless reinforce ever-prevalent stereotypes of women's inferiority. Motivated female students already know they face an uphill battle to rise to the top in professional careers, and it's unhelpful and inappropriate for our university to reinforce stereotypes detrimental to women's success in the business world. In a persistently male-run society, women at our university need a little more help learning to politely kick butt. Education should be Congress' priority COMMENTARY Every election year, one of the hottest buzz words is "education." It needs to be changed, it needs more funding, schools aren't good enough, teachers aren't paid enough, etc. Unfortunately, once the polls close, the subject is conveniently forgotten. At the collegiate level, we are supposed to be preparing to enter the real world, but the people in charge of that world have a bad habit of ignoring our needs. If our society is going to insist that college education is truly significant, then it must be prepared to accommodate us. College is supposed to be our transition from the naive world of high school to real life. It's where we get to test the waters of society, see if we can actually fit in with our plans of being rocket scientists, history teachers or trial lawyers, then eventually decide to join the Peace Corps for a few years instead. So why must some people make it so much more - Alison Kieler for the editorial board. complicated than it needs to be? I don't mean hard classes or seemingly unusual credit requirements. Even the most successful marine biologist could stand being rounded out by an art history course or two. The problem is that a lot of people do not seem to consider the actual importance of higher education. I fully aware that it wasn't considered the norm for people to attend college until sometime around the 1960s, but that doesn't S BY BEN COHEN KANSAN COLUMNIST OPINION@KANSAN.COM College is supposed to be our transition from the naive world of high school to real life. It's where we get to test the waters of society, see if we can actually fit in with our plans of being rocket scientists, history teachers or trial lawyers, then eventually decide to join the Peace Corps for a few years instead. tion was the buzz word it always is among the candidates. But it took a massive petitioning campaign from student governments across the state of Kansas to get Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius and the state legislature to pay attention to the fact that school facilities need as much maintenance as government office buildings. It doesn't take a spifty, state of the art building to keep us on pace in our educations, but it helps if they aren't visibly crumbling We just came out of an election year, where educa change what society expects from students today, which is a degree. Most good careers jobs at marketing firms, newspapers or medical facilities require a college education. Unfortunately, the government treats education like something to look at when they are bored of arguing about funding bridges to nowhere, or what to do with women who are not going to come out of comas. All of this begs the question: Is there something wrong with our collegiate system? If so, why is its importance so stressed to us in our teenage years? "Education" needs to be recognized as something more than a buzz-word for aspiring Congressmen, or all of the time we spent worrying about applications and degrees will have been wasted.

Flushing a Koran down a toilet is also bad, but getting angry about the people who hand out New Testaments on campus is acceptable. dr Remove the stigma of ideas of tolerance In my tenure at The University of Kansas I've witnessed all varieties of opinions, protests, and outlooks. Whether it's a war protest, advocating a lifestyle, or calling to end some injustice; the apparent, overarching goal is that of the so called "tolerance movement." Some call it being "politically correct" while others label it as "liberal." No matter its name, a trend to promote tolerance and inclusion as a virtue does exist. The tolerance movement provides so much lip service to acceptance and respect of other ideas and people, but it's time that it actually took its own advice. I'm referring in part, to the "phobias" and other terms that are becoming more commonplace to label people. "Homophobic," "Islamaphobic," "bigot," "racist," "intolerant," "old-fashioned" and others are used to apply a stigma to anyone not agreeing with the goal of accepting everyone. The problem with these terms is that they go against what should be the true ideals of the tolerance movement. Examples of the tolerance movement as socially liberal ideas doubling The Council on American-Islamic Relations, the North American Man/ Boy Love Association, the LGBT community, pro-abortion groups, and other socially liberal organizations promote "tolerance" and "inclusion" as their goals and motivations. However, their actions speak against them. Ultimately, people should understand that not everyone will agree with them. There will be people who think homosexuality is sinful, or people who practice Wicca and there will always be someone who doesn't think as you do. The best is to not segregate and outcast certain views in the name of tolerance. Just come out and say it. If you don't like it, that's fine. Labeling tolerance as something it's not is just hypocritical. If you don't agree that just makes you intolerant of my beliefs. What I ask is that inclusion and tolerance apply to everyone. If people in the LGBT community want to be tolerated and included, I would hope that they'd be tolerant and inclusive of the people who disagree with their behavior. Similarly, those who say the TV show "24" is bad because it portrays Muslims as terrorists seem to have no issue with entertainment that mocks the Catholic Church. If this is the meaning of tolerance, it's far from ideal. 》 TALK TO US Gabriella Souza editor 864-4854 or gsouza@kansan.com Nicole Kelley. managing editor 864-4854 or nkelley@kansan.com Courtney Hagen. opinion editor 864-4924 or chagen@kansan.com Patrick Ross. managing editor 864-4854 or prossi@kansan.com Natalie Johnson, associate opinion editor 864-4924 or njohnson@kansan.com Lindsey Shirak, business manager 864-4014 or lishirak@kansan.com Maicalm Gibson, general manager, news adviser 864-7667 or maibsonijsansan.com James Arruda Pittsburg senior Jackie Schaffer, sales manager 864-4462 or jschaffer@kansan.com Jennifer Weaver, sales and marketing adviser 864-7666 or jweaver@kansan.com >> SUBMISSIONS The Kansan welcomes letters to the editor and guest columns submitted by students, faculty and alumni.

As the first citizens of hip-hop nation in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the arrival of Grandmaster Flash and his partners the Furious Five signals a new age. The Bronx hip-hop pioneers are part of an otherwise traditional class: R.E.M., Van Halen and a pair of fellow New York City performers, Patti Smith and the Ronettes, entering the Rock Hall on Monday. 》 ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME First hip-hop artists inducted BY LARRY MCSHANE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — AskGrandmaster Flash about hip-hop stars deserving of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and he's quick with a list of rap icons. "Afrika Bambaataa. Run-DMC. KRS-One," he says, barely pausing for a breath, "Big Daddy Kane. 1.1. Cool J. Eric B and Rakim. Tribe Called Quest. The list goes on and on." Flash left himself out, with good reason: The DJ and partners the Furious Five enter the Hall on Monday as its initial tap inductees. The Bronx hip-hop pioneers are part of an otherwise traditional class: R.E.M., Van Halen and a pair of fellow New York City performers, Patti Smith and the Ronettes. As the first citizens of hip hop nation in the Rock Hall, the arrival of Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five signals a new age at the Cleveland attraction; Smith likely marks the end of the '70s punk inductees, and the time of hip hop is upon us. "This announces the beginning of the rapa era for the Hall," said Bill Adler, a hip-hop historian — currently editing the "Eyejammie Encyclopedia of Hip-Hop" — and member of the Hall's nominating committee. "Flash and the Furious Five are going to open the floodgates." Adler, a publicist for the hugely influential Def Jam Records in the mid-1980s, offered his own list of rappers destined for induction: "The Beastie Boys, very quickly. Run-DMC and LL Cool J will get in pretty quickly. Slick Rick." Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five enter 25 years after their groundbreaking single, "The Message," about hard times in their native borough during the Reagan Administration. It was the first popular rap song with a social theme — "It's like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder how I keep from going under," went the hypnotic chorus. "One of the pivotal points in hip-hop history," said Furious Five rapper Melle Mel, who acknowledged his group initially wanted to pass on the song. The group, which also featured Kid Creole, Cowboy, Mr. Ness and Raheim before an acrimonious 1983 split between Flash and Mel, had missed induction on two previous occasions. So when word arrived of the honor this year, Flash said he was initially skeptical. "When it sank in that we were in, it was a good feeling for hip-hop." Flash said. "I think it's bigger than Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five. To get that kind of respect is good for hip-hop." Went he really lying in bed — "I usually sleep with the TV on" — when he heard the news that R.E.M. and Van Halen were in. Before he could roll over, the announcer added the name of Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five. Melle Mel recalled lying in bed >> NATURAL DISASTER "The fact that were in the Hall of Fame speaks volumes," said Melle Mel. "People try to separate hip-hop music like it stands alone, but it really doesn't. Were in with all the great groups in the history of music. It further legitimizes hip-hop." Indonesian earthquake kills 70 people, injuring hundreds BY ZAKKI HAKIM ASSOCIATED PRESS SOLOK, Indonesia — A powerful earthquake jolted western Indonesia on Tuesday, killing at least 70 people and injuring hundreds as they fled shaking hotels, homes and hospitals. Two children were crushed by debris on a playground. The 6.3-magnitude quake struck Sumatra island just before 11 a.m. SILVER CITY, INDIA—A vendor seated under a tent at the night market in Silver City, India. and was fell as far away as neighboring Malaysia and Singapore, where some tall buildings were evacuated. Several aftershocks followed, the strongest measuring 6.1, adding to tears of people already too nervous to return indoors. Many said they would sleep in front of their homes or in the hills Tuesday night. "Women were crying out in terror. We all just fled as quickly as we could," said Alpion, a welder who joined thousands of others running to higher ground, fearing a tsunami that never came. Indonesia straddles one of the world's most seismically active zones and has been hit by a string of natural disasters in recent years, the most deadly being the 2004 Asian tsunami that killed 160,000 people on Sumatra's northern tip. Indonesian residents take shelter inside a tent on Tuesday in Solok, West Sumatra, Indonesia. A powerful earthquake crumpled houses across a large swath of western Indonesia, killing at least 70 people and injuring hundreds, authorities said.

In addition, three members of one family were burned alive when their collapsed home burst into flames. Dozens of buildings were destroyed and hundreds of others were damaged, according to local police chief Lt. Col. Budi Sarwono. TV footage showed a flattened three-story home and wide cracks in the road. "My house is on the brink of collapse," said Imelda Kusmawatti, as she prepared to spend the night in an army tent with her two children and six other families. "I am still traumatized and worried about aftershocks." Patients poured into hospitals in Solok, many with broken bones and cuts, but most were treated outside because of fears of more quakes. Scores were laid out on cots on a soccer field, where they were attached to intravenous drips and given emergency care. "So far we have recovered 19 bodies and hundreds of injured people," Sarwono said of the toll in Solok. "The two hospitals are overwhelmed." At one hospital in the nearby seaside town of Padang, panicked doctors and nurses fled into the street, startled patients limping behind, according to Metro TV. Electricity remained cut in parts of the town as darkness fell. A witness in the town of Payahkumbuh said several shops in the main street had collapsed and police and soldiers were digging for survivors. Government spokesman Hasrul Piliang said the number of dead "would likely rise" because tallies from remote areas were still being collected and there were reports of other people trapped under debris. The U.S. Geological Survey said the tremor struck 20 miles below Solok. It was felt in Singapore, 265 miles away, forcing the evacuation of several older office buildings. In Malaysia's southern coastal city of Johor, citizens fled offices, buildings and shopping centers, witnesses said. U. S. earthquake expert Kerry Sieh was in Padang on a research trip when the quake struck. He fled his fourth story hotel room like other guests, stopping only to unplug his laptop. "I was pretty scared" he said, adding that the fault that spawned the quake was known as the Great Sumatran, which last ruptured in 1945. "I now know why people have a hard time remembering how long earthquakes last" Indonesia, the world's largest archipelago, is prone to seismic upheaval because of its location on the so-called Pacific "Ring of Fire", an arc of volcanos and fault lines encircling the Pacific Basin. In addition to the 2004 tsunami, an earthquake killed nearly 5,000 on lava island last year. Tuesday's quake was about 660 miles west of the Jakarta. hello spring fling.

The lajhawks did just that to defeat the Cowirts 71-62. "I have great respect for these kids that they did not cash it in," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "They did not call it quits, great energy, great enthusiasm and great pride in getting better." With the victory, Kansas advanced In front of a crowd compromised almost entirely of Cowgirl fans, the Jayhawks played with an unmatched intensity even in the face of adversity. to play third-seed Baylor at 8:30 tonight in the second round of the tournament. The game will be televised on FSN. "They showed great resiliency and great fortitude." Henrickson said. The small contingent of lajwah fans at the Cox Convention Center held their breath when junior forward Taylor McIntosh stumbled off the court after taking an elbow with 16:28 left in the game. When McIntosh returned wearing a bandage on her face, she brought a determined demeanor. "I feel more confident and it all started in practice," McIntosh said. "Ever since I got tired of losing like everyone else on the team, I stepped up to become more available." It was easy to see who the leaders were for each of the teams in the final first-round game of the tournament. For Kansas, once again it was senior guard Shaquina Mosley. For Oklahoma State, it was guard Danielle Green, someone who Mosley knew well. Two years ago, Green and Mosley teamed up and won a junior college national championship at Central Arizona. The game turned into a battle between the ex-teammates.

Big inning leads to blowout victory BY ALISSA BAUER When Kansas lost at Oral Roberts a week ago, junior shortstop Erik Morrison said the big innings his team gave up that day would happen. He added that his team needed to work towards finding big innings of its own. Kansas found some Tuesday night. The Jayhawks (10-5) took their third victory at home in as many days with an 18-2 victory against Tabor College (6-7). "That's kind of like the motto of this team — to work for the big inning, to do whatever it takes." Morrison said. Despite the lopsided final score, the Bluejays hung with the Jayhawks more than half of the game. In fact, Tabor's batters sparked first in the first. Freshman left Wally Marceli hit蓝 Jay sophomore designated hitter Alfred Wilson to lead off the game. Two batters later, Wilson scored to put the Blue Jays up 1-0. The layhawks let the lead stand through their half of the first inning, but by the second, Kansas was ready to take over. greedy, you need to go up there and want to get five hits," Morrison said.

Kansas shot just 7-for-16 from the free-throw line in the second half against Texas. Focus turns to problem areas BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS With the NCAA tournament less than 10 days away, Kansas is fine-tuning its game to withstand the pressure of an intense March showdown. Coach Bill Self and his staff have singled out two areas in particular that the team will focus on this week: free-throw shooting and rebounding. On Saturday, the lajhawks went just 7-for-16 from the free throw line in the second half – worse than they shot from the field. During practice, players shoot 25 free throws after running to simulate a game situation. The goal is to make 21, which the players say they usually do. That why few are worried. "Our free-throw shooting was atrocious down the stretch," junior guard Russell Robinson said. "As well as we played against Texas, we've still got to finish games better." "When it comes down to crunch time, I think we're going to make the big free throws at the end." sophomore guard Brandon Rush said. "If we could combine those two a little bit better, we could become a very good rebounding team," he said. The other focus is on rebounding, where the layhawks have had mixed results throughout the season. Self attributed to that to the players not blocking out very well but still fighting hard for loose balls. Junior center Sasha Kaun acknowledged the problem, saying that solution is in changing his mindset under the basket.

As a side note, I consider myself a sports freak, and I hate it when I lose an NCAA tournament pool to the people who picked their Final Fours by basing their picks on the coolest mascots. For now, I wanted to share some research I did on the relationship between a team's finish in the Big 12 Tournament compared to that team's NC.AA tournament finish. Let me say this: There's no clear-cut way of determining how a team will do in the NCAA tournament based on its Big 12 Tournament result. In fact, there absolutely no consistency between Big 12 tournament success and NCAA tournament success. This just adds to the March Madness phenomenon, and that's why I love it! The charts to the right show the Big 12 and NCAA tournaments finishes of both Kansas and the conference tournament champion. A few teams have found success in both tournaments, notably Oklahoma in 2002 and Oklahoma State in 2004. Both won the Big 12 Tournament and advanced to Final Four. BY ERIC JORGENSEN BY ERIC JORGENSEN KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST JORGENSENMARKANA.COM Two teams, Kansas, last season, and Oklahoma, in 2001, were the Big 12 Tournament champions but lost in the first round of the NCAA tournament. So, who is going to win the Big 12 tournament? It's hard to say. Kansas, Texas and Texas A&M are the obvious picks. Some of the conference's bubble teams — namely Kansas State, Oklahoma State or Texas Tech — try to make a statement could very well knock off any of the top three. But even an early loss in Oklahoma City wouldn't be all bad for Texas, Texas A&M or Kansas. A few extra days of rest and practice before an NCAA first-round game would certainly be beneficial. In any case, the games will be fun to watch. The Big 12 Tournament has seen many exciting finishes, buzzer-beaters and Cinderella stories.

Barnes was named the Associated Press Bin 12 coach of the year. BY JIM VERTUNO ASSOCIATED PRESS AUSTIN, Texas — The way Kevin Durant tore through the Big 12 and nearly carried the Texas Longhorns to a share of the league title, it was easy to forget the task coach Rick Barnes faced when the season began. Durant was just one of four freshmen starters on a team whose top returning scorer, sophomore A.J. Abrams, was a slightly built shooting guard who averaged 6.4 points last season. The Longhorns lost all five starters from a 2005-06 squad that won a school-record 30 games and nearly made it to the Final Four. Three of them — last season's Big 12 player of the year P.J. Tucker, LaMareus Aldridge and Daniel Gibson — left school early for the NBA, leaving Barnes with little to no experience to put on the court, On Tuesday, Barnes was named The Associated Press Big 12 coach of the year for turning this young and sometimes wild lineup into a squid that came within one game of sharing the league title with Kansas. It is the first time Barnes has won the honor since 1999, when he guided the Longhorns to the league crown in his first season at Texas. "This team has no ego," Barnes said. "We've shown some resiliency. We don't play as well as we think But we do play; we do compete." The first two months of the season were exciting and sometimes frustrating. Durant and freshmen DJ. Augustin and Damion James were in the starting lineup in the season opener. Barnes added justin Mason to the mix by game No. 2. They got an early victory against LSU — the team that knocked the Longhorns out of the NCAA tournament last season — and stumbled with a blowout loss to Gonzaga. Durant was already creating a buzz with his big games, but Barnes warned his team the Big 12 was a different league: tough and physical and a two-month grind. "They'll find out," Barnes said. Durant went on a scoring spree, scoring more than 30 points five times as the Longhorns went 6-2 through the first half of the league schedule before slowing down in the for four games in the second half. By midseason, Barnes also took on the role of Durant's protector against a constant barrage of questions about Durant's future. Durant hasn't said publicly what he'll do and Barnes chastised reporters for not allowing his 18-year-old prodigy to enjoy the moment.

And as George Mason, Wichita State and Bradley showed as last year, these teams can go toe-to-toe with the big boys. Let's take a look at who is capable of being this year's George Mason and turning your bracket into as much of a red mess as your last English paper. Virginia Commonwealth (27-6) Winthrop (28-4) — Big South Conference — The Eagles return five starters from a team that lost to two-seed Tennessee on a buzzer-breaker in the first round of last year's NCAA tournament. Their only losses this season have come at Texas A&M, at Wisconsin in overtime, at Maryland and at North Carolina in a game they led in the second half. The Eagles are athletic and can shoot the three, as evidenced by a 14-for-27 performance behind the arc in an impressive double-digit victory at Missouri State. Currently projected as a No. 11 seed by ESPN.com, Winthrop could be the team to make a deep run similar to George Mason a season ago. Virginia Commonwealth (2/6) — Colonial Athletic Association — The team, which was assembled by current Oklahoma coach leff Capel, won the CAA with a 14-2 record and the conference tournament with a victory against George Mason. That loss denied the Patriots a chance to repeat their magical run of a season ago. The Rams, led by the talented backcourt of B.A. Walker and Eric Maynor, have a history of putting a scare into high seeds, losing by one point to a Chris Paul-led Wake Forest squad as a 13 seed three seasons ago. It's championship week, and that means it's time for the little guy to shine. In the shadows of the big boys all year, the best mid-major teams have a chance to show the nation what they can do in their do-or-die conference tournaments, which are played with enough intensity to make them as entertaining as NCAA tournament games. Drexel (23-8)/Old Dominion (24-8) - CAA - Only one of these CAA squads is likely to receive an A. S. K. M. N. A. R. T. F. G. H. J. K. L at-large bid, but both have impressive non-conference resumes. Drexel, 13-5 in the league, posted victories at Villanova, Syracuse and Temple and a victory at Missouri Valley Conference tournament champion Creighton. Old Dominion claimed a 10-point victory at then-No. 8 Georgetown and won 12 straight before a conference tourney loss to George Mason. Both teams would be a dangerous 12 or 13 seed. BY KAYVON SARRAF KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST KSARRAF@KANSAN.COM Any Missouri Valley team — Bradley and Wichita State proved last season that the league is deep and talented, and nobody wants to see Creighton, Southern Illinois or Missouri State in its bracket. Creighton and SIU should both be seeded seven or better and should not netchup up on anyone. The Salukis, whose top non-conference victories come against Virginia Tech and at then-No. 12 Butler, play a stifling defense, giving up only 56 points per game; that will give it a chance to win any game. The Bluejays have the size to neutralize a major conference team's big men, plus they have the spirit of the Phog with them in guard Nick Babe, who is shooting 42 percent from the three-point line in 15 minutes per game. Edited by James Pinick Gonzaga (23-10) — West Coast Conference — With nine straight tournament appearances, the 'Zags are not really a mid-major anymore. Despite losing leading scorer and rebounder Josh Heytvelt to a psycheled mushroom suspension, Gonzaga is starting to come together, having won five games in a row. Everybody's favorite former jayhawk Micah Downs somehow managed to stop pouting long enough to average 16 points per game in that span.

Coaches also said that the conferences best teams were getting raw deals. Kansas is only now being considered a No. 1 seed after multiple losses by Florida and North Carolina. Texas A&M (25-5, 13-3) isn't even in the discussion for a No. 1, even though the Argies defeated Kansas at Allen Fieldhouse and played a tough non-conference schedule that included UCLA. "I kind of wondered that when we have two teams that are No. 1 seeds," Kansas State Coach Bob Huggins said about the perceived lack of respect. "Kansas, they are a No. 1 seed. Whoever doesn't think that I don't know what they've been watching." brought the Big 12 more publicity. "No one plays better ball than us from one through 12. I get tired of hearing about other leagues having seven or eight teams." The conference's problems could be because not enough people are watching. Gillispie blamed a lack of marketing for why the Big 12 was getting slighted. He said the conference wasn't doing enough to promote itself. Self also mentioned weak non-conference schedules and the Midwest location of Big 12 schools as problems. Self wasn't as adamant as Gillispie about blaming the conference's marketing, but he saw some areas that could have "Bobby Knight set the all-time wins record this year," he said. "You've got Bob Huggs who has K-State rolling. You've got maybe the best college player since 1980. You've got maybe the best clutch player in recent memory and maybe as balanced a team as there been in recent memory. You've got so many things you can sell as a league. And now all of a sudden it's BILLY GILLISPIE Texas A&M coach 'Is our league that good?' Neither Self nor Gillispie had a perfect way to solve the conference's problems. Self suggested that the coaches and conference leaders needed to devise a strategy together that might include scheduling tougher non-conference games. Both agreed that something needs to be done. "I don't know what the answer is, but I know some other leagues have it figured out," Gillispie said. "I don't know how much we're following the plans they are using. There has to be a better solution than what we have." Kansan sportswriter Mark Dent can be contacted at mdent@ kansan.com. Edited by James Pinick fallen off most draft boards. freshman forward Darrell Arthur is being projected as a mid-first round pick by ESPN analyst Chad Ford but would likely become a top pick in 2008 with a strong sophomore season. BASKETBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B) That leaves sophomore forward Julian Wright, who is on top five lists across the league. Scouts love his versatility and size, and draft-protection site *nbdraft.net* has him rated as the fourth-best player eligible for this year's draft. "When I think of NBA ready, I'm thinking they are ready to make an impact," he said. "It's just like if you asked how many high school juniors are ready to make an impact in college basketball. Probably not many. But whereas there's 300 college teams, there's only about 30 NBA teams, and that makes a big difference." Praise for coach Self However, Wright said at the beginning of the season that he wanted to stay and finish his degree next year and won't talk about his future plans until the season ends. The Associated Press Big 12 coach of the year award went to Texas coach Rick Barnes. Self won the award in 2006. Though he didn't win this year, the Kansas players gave Self high marks for dealing with a different kind of challenge. On a team At the beginning of February, ESPN analyst Jay Bilas said that he didn't think any of the Jawhakws were ready to make the leap, adding that he held early-jumpers to a high standard. with eight legitimate starters, Kansas has gone the entire season without any of the players complaining or demanding more time in the lineup. RPI problems "Everybody wants to see everybody do well, and Coach is probably the biggest reason for that." Robinson said. "Individuals really sacrifice their own egos for the sake of the team. It's won us some games this year, and it's going to win us some more." The Big 12 Conference struggled this year in this statistic. According to realtimeRPI.com, the conference ranks sixth nationally. The site uses a formula that mimics the one used by the NCAA, which does not publicly reveal its numbers. One of the criteria that the NCAA tournament selection committee looks at is RPI, which judges a team not just on its performance but also on the strength of its opponents. Kansas is the highest-rated team in the conference but is only No. 15 nationally. Texas A&M is right behind at No. 16. The problem may be a lack of quality victories early in the season for Big 12 teams. "We should look at it and study it from a coach's perspective and a scheduling perspective," Self said. "If the RPI is the golden rule, then we need to do something to help ourselves with the RPI." Kansan senior sportswriter Michael Phillips can be contacted at mphillips@ansan.com. Edited by Katie Sullivan BIG 12 BASKETBALL COMMENTARY Huggins has built-in excuses for snub BY JEFFREY RAKE KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN Levy famously responded, "World War II was a must win." Then his team got creamed. 30-13. MANHATTAN — Former Buffalo Bills coach Marv Levy once was asked if his team's Super Bowl game against the Dallas Cowboys was a "must-win". After all, his team already had lost the previous three Super Bowls from 1990-92. "I'm not asking them to go down and win a game; I'm asking them to win three games," Huggins said. "Three games you get an automatic bid, and you don't have to worry about that stuff." Kansas State coach Bob Huggins was asked the same question Saturday about his team's first game in the Big 12 Conference Tournament. Conventional wisdom suggests the Wildcats need at least one more win to make the 65-team NCAA Tournament field. If that sounds like the perfect response, it's because it was. Huggins doesn't play for second place, and he wants to win the Big 12 title. Problem is, Huggins undermined that win-em-all mentality with what he's said repeatedly over the past two weeks. He's been telling anybody who will listen about "the formula." With 20 wins overall and 10 league wins, Huggins believes his team is a lock for the NCAA tournament. Since 1999, 169 teams, out of 169, from the six major conferences have followed that same formula to the NCAA tournament. By that logic, Kansas State (21-10, 10-6) should be in. Deep down inside, though, I don't think Huggins believes his team has done enough to earn a spot — and I think his players do. That could spell trouble in the Big 12 Tournament. Make no mistake about it, Huggins has done a masterful job of campaigning "the formula." It made a pair of national TV appearances over the weekend and has been in newspapers all across the Midwest. "The formula" has been brought up so many times you've got to believe Huggins smirks every time it's mentioned. It's free publicity for Kansas State and its tournament resume which, in reality, is far from finished. Aside from a road win against Texas, Kansas State's 10 conference victories aren't impressive. The Wildcats beat Colorado, Iowa State and Missouri twice. They won home games against Baylor, Nebraska and Oklahoma. All of those teams finished with losing conference records. That's where "the formula" comes into play. It's a cover-up for what has been a down year in the Big 12. Huggins' players will have an out, and they'll have something to fall back on in case things don't go their way in the Big 12 Tournament. They're well aware of the fact that history is on their side and a first-round loss doesn't necessarily mean they'll have no chance of getting into the "Big Dance." They've been led to believe they're in no matter what. He wants it to appear that holding Kansas State out of the tournament in the face of the almighty "formula" would be criminal. It's Huggins' way of saying, "Look, if we don't make it, it's not because we didn't do our job. It is because the committee broke a trend." Suddenly, the game isn't considered a "must-win" it wasn't for Levy and the Bills, either. Huggins is no dummy. He does everything for a reason. He knows the added mentions and exposure Kansas State is getting will help his team when the NCAA tournament committee begins its deliberations this week. By planting "the formula" and getting it out in the open, hes trying to help the committee make its decision.

Join us at: 1116 Louisana Street BIG 12 BASKETBALL COMMENTARY Fieldhouse perfect for stand-out game BY ERIC RANSOM DAILY TEXAN LAWRENCE — It was the perfect setting for one of those rare individual performances. The Kansas students camped all week for tickets. Two hours before the game, the wind numbered the faces of fans waiting to get inside. By pregame introductions, 16,300 fans were jammed together on benches in an old-school gym straight out of Hoosiers. At Allen Fieldhouse, there are no club seats. The pregame hoopla was limited to a video of Kansas basketball history. Images of James Naismith, Phoor, Alleg, and ton tajawk Questions after the game centered on whether Kansas deserved to be a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament. m o m e n t s played to the chorus of U2's "Where the Streets Have No Name." It sounds cheesy, but it wasn't all the retired numbers on the wall that made this The Longhorns also saw excellent performances from D.J. Augustin and A.J. Abrams. Though down by 12 at the half, Kansas rallied as the game turned into an up-and-down, top-speed contest that showed off two talented teams. In the end, Durant struggled with an ankle injury, and the jayhawks cut down the nets as undisputed Big 12 champions. Great performances come in great settings. And Texas is about to enter the best setting of its sport March Madness. "I don't know," Kansas coach Billself said. "But were close." And Texas' Kevin Durant answered the bell from the opening tip. Early in the first half, I got the feeling we were watching something like Michael Jordan scoring 63 on the Celtics in 1986. He hit five three pointers, five field goals and totaled 25 points in the first half without a trip to the free-throw line. place seem like the Elysian Fields of basketball. As Syracuse and Carmelo So, where does that leave Texas? The Longhorns' fortunes in the NCAA tournament ride with Durant first — followed by Augustin and Abrams. Like Kansas, the Longhorns still have the Big 12 tournament to get through. But it's possible they could wind up anywhere from a fourth to a sixth seed. The fajawhacks need a few victories in the Big 12 tournament but stand a good chance at taking a top seed this Sunday. A n t h o n y showed years ago, a team with a trans- cendent talent can win the big dance. So, is Kevin Durant a tran- scendent tal- ent? His25-point. first half effort certainly seemed like indisputable proof. But like all high profile players, we want to compare him to someone else. At the fieldhouse, there were the retired jerseys of Wilt Chamberlain, Danny Manning and Paul Pierce. Self tried to compare Durant to someone he's coached against, and the best he came up with was Duke's Mike Duneady. Texas fans would love to think the answer is Kevin Garnett, or even Tracy McGrady. Self also threw out a comparison to Larry Bird because of his lankiness and sweet shooting touch. But whomever Durant reminds you of, know that his reputation as a college player rests on the postseason. As it goes for the Longhorns as well, great performances come in great settings.

The Cavaliers won 91-85. Houston center returns to action ASSOCIATED PRESS >> NBA Yao Ming was back in the Houston Rockets' lineup. Too bad he didn't feel like a pro. Yao struggled in his first game after missing more than two months with a leg injury. LeBron James had 32 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists to lead the Cavaliers past Yao and the Houston Rockets 91-85 Monday night. The Chinese center's numbers paled in comparison: 16 points, 11 rebounds, two blocks and five turnovers. The 7 foot-6 Yao had just one practice since recovering from a broken bone under his knee and it showed. Wearing a black brace on his right knee. Yao looked slow and out of synch on offense, letting a crisp pass tip off his hands and missing open shots. "In the second quarter, third quarter, I was almost like a high school player." Yao said. "Sometimes, Cleveland would just steal the ball from my hand." "Uneven, which is to be expected," Rockets coach Jeff Van Gundy said. "But he has got to cut down on his Cleveland's rhythm was just fine, especially lames' performance. He scored more than 30 points for the fourth straight game. The Cavaliers have won three of those four. turnovers. We can't play well if he goes right back to what he was doing before he got hurt, which is being a high turnover girl. It's impossible to have offensive rhythms." In other games Monday night, it was. Miami 88, Atlanta 81; San Antonio 88, the Los Angeles Clippers 74; Utah 120, Charlotte 95; Golden State 111, Detroit 93; and Orlando 99, Milwaukee 81. James got help from Larry Hughes, who had been struggling until recently. Hughes had 22 points, seven assists and six rebounds and said this is the most comfortable hex felt since joining the Cavaliers as a free agent before last season. With rookie Daniel Gibson out with a strained toe, Hughes played some point guard, which he said hed like to do more often. "I'm able to create," he said, "I'm able to get everybody involved, feel the flow of the game, know what plays we can run." james wouldn't mind seeing that The Rockets, who have lost four of five, cut it to 84-82 on Tracy McGrady's jumper with 1.34 left. But Zydruna liauskas put back James missed jumper on the next possession to protect the lead. as well. Iguskaas then stole ball from Yao, who fell to the floor in a heap. Hughes tossed an alley-oop to James on the other end and he slammed in it for an 88-82 lead. Yao, who said he fell on his elbow to avoid landing on his right knee, got up with help from a trainer, hobbled off, but returned to the game. Heat 88, Hawks 81 At Miami, the Heat (30-29) got above 500 for the first time in nearly four months. Eddie Jones had 14 of his season high 21 points in the final quarter and Shaquille O'Neal added 14 points and nine rebounds on the eve of his 35th birthday. Gary Payton had 11 points and seven rebounds and James Posey added 10 points for Miami, which got promising news earlier in the day from star guard Dwyanie Wade. Wade announced he will not have immediate surgery to repair his dislocated left shoulder and will attempt to return by the end of the season. Josh Smith and Anthony Johnson each had 16 points for Atlanta, which dropped its sixth straight. Warriors 111, Pistons 93 The Warriors had lost 11 straight at the Palace. Jason Richardson scored a season high 29 points to help the Warriors end a six-game losing streak. The win also ended Golden State's seven-game road slide, and gave the Warriors a lopsided sweep of the season series. They beat Detroit 111-79 at home on Nov. 11. Detroit was missing Rasheed Wallace (left toot) for the third game in a row, but the Warriors got Stephen Jackson (turf toe) back after four games. Lindsey Hunter scored 20 points for Detroit.

Tuesday night, Oklahoma State's Andrea Riley was an exception to the rule. Both under 5-foot 7, the two small guards engaged in a fast-paced, back and forth battle in the first round of the Big 12 Tournament. Riley, the Big 12 Freshman of the Year, is a carbon copy of Mosley: slight of build but effectively reckless on her way to the hoop. Both guards showcase impressive foot speed and coordination coupled with relentless competitive fire. Riley utilized her quickness and ball handling to exploit the zone defense Kansas used to neutralize her ability to penetrate. "In the past, she might have played above her speed limit," Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "She has gotten so much more posed." Riley scored 15 points, but her most important contributions were intangible. The mere threat she presented forced Kansas to overcompensate and leave other Cowgirls wide open. Kansas 71, Oklahoma State 62 Granted several easy opportunities, senior forward Rashidat Sadi bursed three three-pointers and tallied 13 points in the opening half alone. Junior guard Danielle Green capitalized on her opportunities by Kansas 36 35 71 Kansas 36 35 — 71 Oklahoma State 41 21 — 62 **Kansas** — John 3-5-8-10-14; Morris 2-4-0-0-4; McCray 6-11-0-1-0-16; Mosley 8-20-1-1-1, McIntosh 6-11-7-8-19; Smith 0-1-0-0-0; Zinc 0-1-0-0 Totals 5-13-5-16-1971 Oklahoma State — Silva 0-0 0-0 scoring 19 points and making five trips to the free throw line. Riley affected the game on the defensive end as well. With just more than seven minutes remaining in the game, she intercepted a pass and darted down the court with the ball for an uncontested lapup. The basket gave the Cowgirls a 55-52 lead and seemingly put them in control, but the Jawhaws prevailed because of Mosley's clutch shooting and junior forward Taylor McIntosh's tough rebounding Kansas received little respite from Riley's energetic onslaught, as she played the entire game. "I knew she was quick, so I couldn't step away from her." Mosley said. "I must wanted to contain her." Another factor working against the underdog Jayhawks was the decidedly pro-Cowgirl crowd at the Cox Convention Center. Riley only made matters worse for Kansas, repeatedly pumping up the crowd and high-fiving the Oklahoma State 0; Green 5-8 8-10 19; Smith 0-2 0-0; Hood 3-8 3-5 9; Hardeman 0-7 2-2 1; Sadiq 4-15 2-2 13; Riley 6-17 1-2 15; Cordero 1-2 0-0 2; Chism 1-3 0-2 2; Totals 20-62 16- 23 62. Records — Kansas 11-19, Oklahoma State 20-10. cheerleaders. Mosley tried her best to counter Riley's efforts, adding another impressive game to her senior season. Mosley scored 18 points and grabbed seven rebounds. However, Riley matched Mosley steal-for-steal and basket-for-basket throughout the close game. The opening-round matchup may not have looked like anything more than a contest to determine who would receive the privilege of facing Baylor in the second round, but it meant more than that. Tuesday night's action showed that a torch is being passed. Whenever Kansas' run through the Big 12 Tournament ends, Mosley will have to reluctantly hand the title of most exciting player in the conference to Riley.

VICTORY (CONTINUED FROM 1B) "Danielle is a talented kid, she's great on and off the court." Mosley said. "I knew it was going to be a tough matchup with her because I used to guard her in practice." Kansas' focus was to limit penetration from guards Andrea Riley and Green... But Oklahoma State found other ways to score. By doubling Riley, Cowgirl forward Ridahat Sadiq was often left open on the perimeter. Sadiq made the Jayhawks pay and scored 11 points in the opening half, including three wide-open three-pointers. Freshman forward Danielle McCray kept the layhawks in the game by exploiting the Cowgirls' 2-3 zone defense and shot a perfect 3-for 3 from three-point range. McCray had 13 points in the first half, but disappeared for most of the second. That was until the Jayhawks needed for the most. With 2:55 remaining she hit a three-pointer from the left corner to give Kansas its biggest lead at 61-55.

Istringhausen threw on a back field at Roger Dean Stadium while the Cardinals traveled to play the Orioles. He looked sharp and "His location obviously wasn't there, but it's the first time in a while he's thrown." threw strikes while warming up. Pitching coach Dave Duncan was But facing non-roster outfielders Rick Ankiel and Ryan Ludwig, only a few of lirschhausen's 25 pitches were strikes. The two hitters put four balls in play. On the bright side, lirschhausen was throwing hard — both hitters broke bats hitting his ballballs. September on his hip, which had bothered him for some time. He struggled through the pain most of the season, going 4-8 with a 3.55 ERA and 33 saves, but a career-high 10 blown saves. GARY BENNETT Catcher "His location obviously wasn't there, but it's the first time in a while he's thrown," catcher Gary Bennett said. Isringhausen had surgery in Dave Duncan was pleased with Isringhausen's effort. "He threw the ball good," Duncan said. "He wasn't real happy with his command. I'm looking at his stuff and his delivery and I thought he lent his deliver!" James A. Finlev/ASSOCIATED PRESS ISP together good and his location will come as time goes on." The Cardinals need Isringhausen to return to the closer role so Adam Wainwright can join the rotation. Wainwright didn't give up an earned run in the postseason, and his strikeouts ended both the NLCS and World Series. In six innings in two spring starts, Wamuwerio has yet to give one a hit. Istringhausen has a franchise-record 173 saves in five seasons in St. Louis and 249 for his career. St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Jason Isringhausen pitches to batters for the first time during baseball training at Roger Dean Stadium in Jupiter, Fla., on Tuesday. Isringhausen is recovering from off-season surgery. 》 SUBSTANCE ABUSE Couple pleads not guilty to illegal steroid sales TARANTO Steven Lampert, left, and his wife, Karen, leave Albany County Court in Albany, N.Y. Tuesday. The two pleaded not guilty to charges of submitting forged prescriptions to a pharmacy for people without a medical need in a nationwide investigation involving the illegal distribution of steroids. Mike Groll/ASSOCIATED PRESS BY MICHAEL HILL ASSOCIATED PRESS Steven and Karen Lampert of Anti-Aging Centers in Namet pleaded not guilty in an Albany County, N.Y., courtroom and were released without bail. They are charged with submitting prescriptions to a Florida pharmacy — some "obviously forged," according to the district attorney — for drugs totaling more than $50,000 for people without a medical need. "It itse as though our clients have much less involvement than the others," said Jay Golland, a lawyer for Karen Lampet. Steven Lampert is charged with 20 counts, his wife with two. Prosecutors describe the Lamperts as "criminal associates" of Signature Pharmacy in Orlando, Fla. Albany County District Attorney David Soares said Signature was at the center of a web of businesses and doctors that illegally wrote prescriptions for steroids. The arraignments come a day after not guilty pleas were entered in Albany by 11 other defendants, including four Signature Pharmacy officials. Also Tuesday, SI.com reported Rocker, 1996 Olympic wrestling gold medalist Kurt Angle and former major leaguer David Bell all showed up on a client list of Applied Pharmacy, a Mobile, Ala., company raided in connection with the investigation. Through his spokeswoman, Rocker, who pitched for the Atlanta Braves, Cleveland Indians, Texas Rangers and Tampa Bay Devil Rays, denied any knowledge of the prescription and denied ever receiving a banned substance. SL.com reported. Bell told S1.com he received the shipment of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) last April but said the drug was prescribed "for a medical condition," which he declined to disclose. THE ONLY LAND LOCKED HARBOUR THAT MAKES SENSE. HARBOUR LIGHTS SINCE 1936 1031 MASSACHUSETTS Manager already angry with Cubs ASSOCIATED PRESS Lou Pinielle won't stand for sloppiness — even in spring training. "We got into it a bit", Pimella said. It took only four exhibition games (all losses) for the Chicago Cubs' new manager to call a team meeting Monday morning and demand improvement from his players. Then, off-injured pitcher Mark Prior got hit hard in his 2007 debut. But Kerry Wood and Ted Lilly pitched well in a 6-5 victory against the Seattle Mariners. >> MLB "We've got some work to do. This is not some push button operation," Pinella said, chuckling. "I'm starting to figure that out." Prior, who missed most of 2006 during a third consecutive season of injuries, started for the first time since August. He allowed three earned runs and got just four outs in Peoria, Ariz. ("The meeting") was positive — but we want some things done here. We want to see things done the right way, so we can get ready," said Pintella, who replaced Dusty Baker on the bench. "I just wasn't finishing my pitches." Prior said: "The most important thing for me is this is the first time in almost 2 1/2 years I wasn't more worried about my arm than facing batters." Throwing 95 mph fastballs and sharp sliders, Wood retired the Mariners in order in the fifth. "After I saw him throw the first five or six pitches I said, 'I had a good day already.'" Pimiela said, smiling. Lilly, Chicago's $40 million free-agent acquisition, pitched two scoreless innings. "Kind of hit-and-miss" he said. "I got away with a couple of pitches." At Fort Myers, Fla., Boston left-hander Jon Lester retired the three batters he faced on eight pitches in the first inning of a "B" game against the Minnesota Twins. He threw six fastballs for strikes in the 88-90 mph range. He also threw two curve balls in the dirt for balls. Lester missed the final month last season with an aplastic large cell lymphoma, a type of cancer in the body's lymph system, but is now cancer-free. "I was trying to throw as hard as I could." Lester said. "I was trying to make it as game-like as possible and get that adrenaline going again." Ashaolu's basketball future, and his life, were very much in doubt only a few months ago, but he is expected to rejoin the Dukes on the court in a few weeks. NCAA BASKETBALL Injured Duquesne player set to return to court PITTSBURGH — If the slumping Duquesne lift needs a motivational lifts going into the Atlantic 10 tournament, perhaps Sam Ashaoul will provide it. Ashaolu, who nearly died Sept 17 after being one of five Dukes players following an on- campus party, has been cleared to resume on-court activity despite still having the fragments of two bullets in his head. Once the Dukes' informal off-season workouts begin, Ashaolu is planning to scrimmage. He also expects to resume taking classes this summer, another milestone that wasn't expected nearly so soon, if it all. He needs an NCAA medical waiver to work out with the Dukes until he is re-enrolled, but that is not expected to be a problem.

Speculation that quarterback Trent Green might not be back in Kansas City next season increased Tuesday, when the Chiefs and Green's agent said the former Pro Bowler would begin exploring trade options. Agent Jim Steiner said the team is seeking to restructure Greens contract, which will pay him $7.2 million next season. The Chiefs are also entertaining offers for Green, who missed eight games last season with a severe concussion. "We're going to look and see what his options are." Steiner said. "We're going to do that." Steiner said several teams have shown interest in Green, who will be 37 by the start of training camp. But Steiner declined to name the teams. "We'll take care of that in the next few days," Steiner said. A statement issued by the Chiefs on Tuesday said conversations with Green continue to be "amicable and productive." General manager Carl Peterson met with Green on Monday, but the sides declined to discuss what changes to his contract the Chiefs sought. Green, who is signed through 2009, is scheduled to make $7.7 million and $9.2 million in the final two years of his contract. "Before any decisions are finalized, the Chiefs have agreed to Trent's request to allow him to explore other potential opportunities," the statement said. "We will continue to work in unison toward a resolution that will be acceptable to all parties." Green, who played in two Pro Bowls and made 80 straight starts before getting knocked unconscious in the 2006 season-owner, became one of most popular Chiefs among fans while directing a high-flying offense under former coach Dick Vermeil. When Herm Edwards took over last season, he never wavered in his support of Green, even as journeyman backup Damon Huard led Kansas City into playoff contention. Once Green was cleared to play. Edwards benched Huard and the Chiefs struggled down the stretch. Green never looked comfortable in the pocket, throwing seven touchdowns and nine interceptions, and Kansas City went 2-3 over its final five games. His 74.1 passer rating was his lowest since 2001, his first year with the Chiefs. A series of improbable upsets on the final day of the regular season allowed Kansas City to slip into the playoffs, where Green threw for 107 yards and was picked off twice in a 23-8 first-round loss at Indianapolis. Huard, who would have been an unrestricted free agent this offseason, signed a three-year deal with Kansas City last month that will pay him $7.5 million, a strong indication the team has chosen Huard to compete with third-round draft pick Brodie Croyle for the starting spot. Huard went 5-3 as a starter, throwing for 1,878 yards with 11 touchdowns and one interception. He appeared more comfortable than Green in Edwards' ground-based offense, earning high praise from veteran teammates. >> PGATOUR Golfers loosely define 'choke' BY DOUG FERGUSON ASSOCIATED PRESS PALM HARBOR, Fla. — One player missed a 4 foot putt to win and it was a shocker. Another player missed a 3 foot putt to win and it was considered a choke. The perception of the two misses is as different as the names Tiger Woods and Boo Weekley. A year later, Johnny Miller was in the broadcast tower for NBC Sports, watching Peter Jacobsen stand over a 225-yard approach from a downhill lie over water to the 18th green at the Bob Hope Classic. There's no telling how long the word "choke" has been part of the goll vernacular, or when it first came into vogue. Perhaps the most famous use came at the 1989 Masters, and then only because Scott Hoch's last name rhymes with "spoke," or something like that. "This is absolutely the easiest shot to choke I've ever seen in my life,' Miller said that day. Jacobsen pulled off the shot and won the tournament, and Miller was vilified for daring to mention what everyone thinks. "Youd think I'd exposed warts on Miss America," he wrote in his book. It happens. And maybe Miller himself has become sensitive about the "C" word, because he didn't utter it Sunday at the Honda Classic when Weekley three-putted from 30 feet on the 18th hole, missing a 3-footer that would have brought him his first PGA Tour title. Nor did he use it a week earlier at the Accenture Match Play Championship when Woods missed a 4-foot birdie putt on the first extra hole that would have won his third round match against Nick O'Hern. And that leads to a question that is hard to answer. When does a miss become a choke? Paul Goydos was asked Tuesday to define "choke" and his response showed how touchy this subject is around golfers. "Food lodged in the throat," he said. Miller defines it as stress manifesting itself mentally and physically. It that's the case, it happens every week. "If you're out there and you don't feel pressure, you're not into what you're doing," Curtis Strange said. The two time U.S. Open champion has felt both sides of emotion. He saved par from a bunker on the final hole of the 1988 U.S. Open to force a playoff with Nick Faldo, beating him the next day. Seven years later, Strange missed a 6-foot pard putt on the last hole to lose a crucial match to Faldo in the Ryder Cup. "Anybody who has played this game has done both," Strange said. "It can beat you up if you let it."

RICHMOND, Va. — George Mason was right on schedule after three victories in three nights and hoping to make another run for glory in the NCAA tournament. 》 NCAA BASKETBALL BY HANK KURZ JR. ASSOCIATED PRESS George Mason misses tournament For 38 minutes, the Patriots seemed on their way in the Colonial Athletic Association tournament championship Monday night, too, playing their stout defense and running an efficient offense. Then Eric Maynor and Virginia Commonwealth took the title away from them. Maynor made two big steals in a row and scored nine straight points in the final 2 minutes as the top-seeded Rams erased a five-point deficit and earned a spot in the NCAA tournament with a 65-59 victory against last year's favorite underdogs. So it's the Rams (27 6) who will carry the banner for the CAA this year, careful not to measure themselves against what the Patriots did when they went from at-large entry to the Final Four, beating traditional powers Michigan State, North Carolina and Connecticut before losing to eventual national champion Florida in the semifinals. "What Mason did last year was special," said first year Rams coach Anthony Grant, a member of Billy Donovan's staff at Florida last season. "I don't think anybody on our team right now is trying to duplicate or be what George Mason was." Time for some good food?

Price hit 3-for-3 in the Jayhawks' 18-2 victory. BASEBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B) Price blasted a solo shot to righ field to tie the game. Fellow junior outfielder Brock Simpson singled through the right side of the infield just in time for senior designated hitter Ross Kelling to collect the second home run of the inning, and a 3-1 lead. Another three-spot in the bottom of the third gave Kansas a comfortable 6-1 lead, and showed that the team putting hits together at the right time. "I think that's just a result of us getting the chance to be outside for three straight days," coach Ritch Price said. "I like this team potentially offensively. I think we can be as good as we were a year ago once we get everybody playing." However, in the following pair of innings, Kansas failed to score and left five base runners on in the fourth and fifth innings alone. Each team broke its short scoring drought in the sixth. Tabor knocked in another run off the bat of infidel L.D. Poplin. On the other hand, Kansas exploded. Although Kansas maintained a four-run lead into the bottom of the sixth, the Jayhawks booked insurance with an 11-run inning. Sixteen Jayhawks stepped to the plate in the bottom of the sixth, kicked off by a lead-off walk to freshman third baseman Robby Price, who would also reach base later in the inning after being hit. He scored each time. "I didn't even realize I scored twice," Robby Price said. "That was a pretty interesting inning. We just put a few hits together and scored a few runs." When the dust cleared, the Jayhawks had a commanding 17-2 lead and would score once more before the game was finished. Junior left fielder John Allman also scored twice in the longest half inning of the season, highlighted by seven of the 20 hits Kansas racked up on Tuesday. Six layhawks had multi hit games en route to collecting 20 on the day. Kansas also walked six times and was hit by a pitch six times to round off the blowout. Maricel (2-1) picked up the victory, after tossing just 4 2/3 innings in the start. He was followed by four relievers, who surrendered one run combined. "I thought we played better defensively and I thought some guys did some great things on the mound," coach Price said. "It was a good team win." Kansas will play host to Baker University (5-3) today at 5 p.m. Kansan sportswriter Alissa Bauer can be contacted at abauer@kansan.com. Edited by Katie Sullivan Price brothers power victory BY SHAWN SHROYER For the past couple seasons, Kansas fans have enjoyed seeing two Price brothers in the same lineup. Tuesday evening, the new Price combination put together its first impressive joint outing in front of the lahayk faithful. The new duo consists of junior second baseman Ryne Price and freshman third baseman Robby Price and, in an 18-2 drubbing of Tabor, they set the tone for the Kansas offense. "It builds confidence, especially going to Arkansas," said Robby, of his 3-for-3 day at the plate. "It's good to get a few knocks and get a little confidence before the weekend." Robby recorded Kansas' first hit of the game in the bottom of the first inning with a single. He wasn't on first for long, though, as he stole second base, his second in the last two games. His aggressiveness got him into trouble later in the inning when he was thrown out attempting to steal third base for the final out in the inning. Robby, who came into the game batting .245, singled in his next two at-bats, boosting his batting average to .288. In addition to his three singles, he walked and was hit by a pitch, improving his on-base percentage from .327 to .415. Although Robby went through a stretch earlier in the season where he went 3 for-18, his father, coach Ritch Price, knew it would only be a matter of time before Robby's numbers picked up. "Robby's been one of the best players every place he's played his whole life." Ritch said. "He got off to a little bit of a slow start, but I have no doubt when the season's over, he'll be over 300. He may lead our team in hitting." As Robby gained confidence with each at bat, brother Ryne continued to take the ball everywhere on the field. Ryne's first turn to bat came in the second inning and before Tabor pitcher Philip Unruh knew what hit him, the game was tied, 1-1, as Ryne's third home run of the season sailed over the right center-field fence. Three innings later, Ryne added another extra base hit to his total with a double to right field. For the game, Ryne was 2-for-3 with an RBI, two runs and a walk. Although Ryne has put together a strong first month of the season with a .294 batting average and a .588 slugging percentage, this season has been a relief for him. After missing 40 games last season, Ryne has started all 15 of Kansas' games this season. "It's a lot better than sitting on the bench," Ryne said. "Being able to contribute and help our team win, that's what I came here to do and it sucked last year not being able to do it." Of course, if anyone is happier to have Ryne's stick in the lineup, it would have to be his coach. "Ryno's one of those guys who's really physical with the bat", Ritch said. "In one swing, he can impact the game." Game notes In addition to Ryne and Robby, a couple other Free State High School products got into Tuesday's game. Junior Matt Lane and freshman Max Ellenbecker entered the game from the bullpen. Lane threw 1/3 1/2 perfect innings, striking out one, while Ellenbecker gave up one hit and struck out one in one inning. Junior infielder Matt Berner came off the bench and went 1-for-2 at the plate with an RBI. The 20 hits Kansas collected in Tuesday's game were the most since May 20, 2005, against Oklahoma State. The Jayhawks defeated the Cowboys, 17-3. Kansan senior sportswriter Shawn Shroyer can be contacted at sshroyer@kansan.com. Kansas 18.

ASSOCIATED PRESS Red Sox prospect shows early promise JUPITER, FLA. — Daisuke Matsuzaka had an easy time in his first spring training outing against major leaguers. Dice-K allowed two hits in three scoreless innings and struck out three Tuesday for the Boston Red Sox in a 14-6 rout of the Florida Marlins at Jupiter, Fla. "My readiness for the season is difficult to judge from the outside," Matsuzaka said through a translator. "I'm probably 40 to 50 percent there." Before a sellout crowd of 8,044, including some who began lining up for tickets at 5 a.m., Matsuzaka threw a fastball that topped out at a brisk 151 — that's kilometers per hour, as measured by Japanese TV. It translates to 94 mph. "He's definitely got the ability to be a dominant pitcher," Florida's Dan Uggga said. "He's got the stuff, he's got the command. He has done it in Japan, and there's no reason he couldn't do it here." Florida learned right hander Josh Johnson has an irritated ulnar nerve that will likely force him to miss at least the first two months of the season. Johnson said his arm first hurt while he was lobbing a ball Jan. 19. "It if was real bad, I'd probably be out for four months," he said. "It's good to know exactly what it is." At Bradenton, Fla., NL. batting champion Freddy Sanchez sprained a ligament in his right knee and left the Pittsburgh Pirates' 11-10, 10-inning loss to the Philadelphia Phillies. Sanchez was injured when the Phillies' Rod Barajas slid into his knee as he was turning a double play at second base in the fourth inning. A test showed a mild sprain of the medial collateral ligament. "As of right now, it just feels like a bruise or something like that," Sanchez said. "It's nothing big." "I'm taught to go hard to second to break up two, and that's what I did." Barajas said. "I didn't come up high, and my spikes weren't up. I slid the way I've always been taught. Unfortunately, he didn't get out of the way." At Phoenix, Oakland's Mike Piazza was hit just above his left elbow by a pitch from Kansas City's Brian Bannister, and the designated hitter came out of the Athletics' 3-2 Sanchez, who hit. 344 last season, is day-to-day. He didn't complain about the slide. Barajas thought Sanchez did not do enough to get out of his way. "He got it pretty good," said Piazza, who initially put a thick bag of ice on his elbow. "I'm just going to ice it again, see how it feels and go from there. If everything's all right, I'm sure it will calm down in a day or two." Piazza has a bruised left triceps. Impressions from the seams of the baseball were visible on his elbow in the clubhouse after the game. Piazza doubled earlier to raise his spring training average to .444, third-best among As regulars. In Tucson, Ariz., pitcher Javier Vazquez and the Chicago White Sox agreed to a $34.5 million, three-year contract extension through 2010. Vazquez will get $12.5 million this season, the final year of his current contract, and $11.5 million in each of the following three seasons. Vazquez gave up four runs and six hits in three innings of a 6-3 loss to the Colorado Rockies, who got a long, two-run homer from Brad Hawpe. KU DAY WEDNESDAYS MARCH & APRIL loss in 10 innings.

Ed Rendell said he would turn to the National Hockey League to prevent the Pittsburgh Penguins from moving, one day after the team said it had reached an impasse in negotiations with state, county and local officials to finance a new arena. "the governor believes we have put an exceptionally attractive offer on the table," according to a statement released by Rendell's office. Later in the day, Rendell told reporters. "If they don't take it, we were going to be up in New York asking the NHL to bar the Penguins from moving." On Monday, the Penguins said they will actively pursue relocation and blamed government officials for failing to cut a new arena deal. Owners Mario Lemieux and Ron Burkle said the team has agreed to pay $120 million throughout 30 years toward a new $290 million arena and to cover any cost over- runs. The Penguins' lease at 46 year old Mellon Arena, the smallest and oldest arena in the league, expires June 30. The Penguins have repeatedly said they may move the team, or sell it to someone who would move it, if no deal for a new arena is in place by then. Officials in Kansas City have offered the Penguins free rent and half of all revenues if they agree to play in the soon-to-be-completed $262 million Spint Center. Pittsburgh Mayor Luke Ravenstahl said he believes it is in the team's best interest to stay in Pittsburgh and said a deal can be reached despite the team's frustration with negotiations so far. COVY 12 KO WORLD CCM Mary Altaper/ASSOCIATED PRESS The Pittsburgh Penguins might be moving to another city after they reached an impasse in negotiations with the state of Pittsburgh. * The governor said he would ask the NHL to stop the move. >> NFL Dolphins welcome linebacker ASSOCIATED PRESS Joey Porter wasn't unemployed for long Porter is guaranteed $20 million in the deal, which was agreed to late Monday, according to a person with knowledge of the discussion who requested anonymity because Porter has not yet passed his physical and the contract may not be signed until Wednesday or Thursday. The trash-talking linebacker, cut last week by Pittsburgh to save salary-cap room, agreed to a five-year, $32 million contract with Miami, giving the Dolphins a potentially devastating pass rushing tandem with Jason Taylor, the defensive player of the year. Porter's 60 sacks rank fourth in Steelers' history. His addition is part of what's becoming a major roster overhail by the Dolphins, who were 6-10 last season, and new coach Cam Cameron. Already, Miami has either released or traded seven players who started at least one game on offense in 2006 along with defensive linemen Kevin Carter and Dan Wilkinson. And Trent Green was seeking a trade that could lead to the end of his career in Kansas City. "We're going to look and see what his options are," his agent, Jim Steiner, said Tuesday. "We're going to do that." A statement issued by the Chiefs said conversations with Green continue to be "amicable and productive." General manager Carl Peterson met with the 37-year-old Green on Monday. Green, who is signed through 2009, is scheduled to make $7.7 million and $9.2 million in the final two years of his contract. Damon Huard, who filled in when Green was hurt last season, recently signed a three-year deal with the Chiefs last month rather than become a free agent. Kansas City also has Brodie Croyle, last year's third-round draft pick, to compete with Huard for the job. In other moves Tuesday: — Tampa Bay signed offensive tackle Luke Petittgut, released by the New York Giants after starting 106 games for them since being chosen in the first round in 1999. — Kansas City signed linebacker Napoleon Harris, who played two years in Minnesota after being traded there by Oakland in the deal for Randy Moss. — The Chicago Bears and New York Jets finalized their trade for running back Thomas Jones. He joins the Jets and gives Cedric Benson a clear shot at Chicago's starting job. — San Francisco signed former New England linebacker Tully Banta-Cain, the fifth free agent it has signed since the signing period began last Friday. » WORLD CROSS COUNTRY CHAMPIONSHIPS U.S. warns of possible terror threat BY MALKHADIR M. MUHUMED ASSOCIATED PRESS NAIROBI, Kenya — The U.S. Embassy said Tuesday it has been alerted to a possible "terrorist attack" against this month's world cross country championships in Kenya. The embassy released a statement saying the threat was coming from "alleged extremist elements" and that the races "may be the target of an unspecified terrorist attack." Last month, the U.S. Embassy issued another strong warning to Americans considering a visit to Kenya, saying violent crime was increasing and that Kenyan authorities have limited capacity to prevent it. "The U.S. Embassy is also aware of public statements by leaders of Kenya's Coastal Muslim commu nity threatening to disrupt, through unspecified means, the World Cross Country Championship if the government of Kenya does not satisfy various demands," the latest statement said. The IAAF World Cross Country Championships are scheduled for March 24 in the coastal city of Mombasa. Athletes from 66 countries are expected to compete in the races, which are being held in Kenya for the first time. The International Association of Athletics Federations said in a statement that Kenyan authorities assured the group Tuesday that "a specific security plan, involving all branches of the country's military and police authorities, is already in place to protect all athletes and participants during their stay in Kenya." Embassy spokeswoman Jennifer Barnes declined further comment on the warning. Muslim leaders in Mombasa in recent weeks have threatened to disrupt the international championships unless the government releases Kenyans held on suspicion of engaging in terrorism and those detained in Somalia and Ethiopia. The protests were led by Sheik Mohamed Dor, secretary-general of the Council of Imams and Preachers of Kenya. Dor said his group will disrupt the races unless the detainees are released, but that there will be no violence. "We are going to have a very, very big demonstration to disrupt the cross country," he told The Associated Press Tuesday. "Every international media would be in Mombasa, so we want to show the world that Kenyan Muslims are marginalized."

With her own documentary film crew, Brown launched "Localize Me" to show how easy it was to change a person's health with a small change in their eating habits. Starting January 25, Fisher met Brown at the Labor Burger for three meals a day. Fisher tried everything on the menu — favoring turkey wraps and the Greek salad — only drank water or vitamin water, and always had dessert with his meals. Brown said she wanted to make sure he wasn't going hungry. Fisher used to eat most of his meals from fast-food restaurants.

Anna Faltermieer/KANSAN 》 PERSONALITY POLL Addicted to love Recent study shows generation has high-level of narcissism BY ERICK R. SCHMIDT Alli Fielder started her blog as a way to express herself. Before she knew it, shed become addicted — not to her own writing, but to the response from other people. "I was writing for the comments," Fielder said. "I didn't start for the comments, but that's what it turned into." A study released last week by professors at San Diego State University said college students had become more narcissistic than ever. The Narcissistic Personality Inventory, which polled more than 16,000 students between 1982 and 2006, revealed that 70 percent of students scored above average in the survey, which tested self-loving traits. For many students, social interactions sites like Facebook and MySpace have provided a chance to create a world revolved around themselves. Fielder, Overland Park freshman, said she had seen instances of self- interest in her fellow students, but that it wasn't an overwhelming trend. "I see it more as indifference. I don't think I really seen any straight up narcissism." Fielder said. Bill Staples, chairman and professor in the sociology department, said he wasn't surprised by the results of the study. Despite having seen evidence to the contrary, he said today's college students showed evidence of a more self-focused attitude. "It reflect students being only children, with a higher level of expectations," Staples said. "Instances of, I've got a problem, you need to fix it now." Staples said it was too narrow to focus the study results on college students alone. He said that society as a whole had become more narcissistic since the 1960s. "It's nothing internal. It's a product of the culture." Staples said. "They're canaries in a coal mine, reflecting the attitudes and behaviors around them." Bryan Strecker, Topkea freshman, sad students were focused on themselves, but that it wasn't because they were selfish. "People are going to talk about themselves because that's what they know best," Strecker said. "What you know best is what you're going to talk about." Strecker said he checked his Facebook account multiple times each day, but that he did it to find out what others were doing, not to talk about himself. "Since they started the note mode, a lot of people on there like to talk about themselves," Strecker said. Facebook's note feature allows users to post blog entries on whatever topic they choose. Sociology professor Robert Antonio has been at the University since 1971, and said he wasn't sure if he bought into the study. Antonio said he had seen several generations come through the University, but that he didn't noticed much difference. "Most KU students are a pretty nice group of people." Antonio said. "They haven't changed a whole heck of a lot." Kansan staff writer ErickR.Schmidt can be contacted at eschmidt@ kansan.com. WEATHER —Edited by Lisa Tilson Severe Weather Awareness Week warns of coming tornado season BY JOE HUNT In Kansas, springtime and warm weather brings tornadoes. The National Weather Service has dubbed next week "Kansas Severe Weather Awareness Week." Most severe storms in the Midwest are caused when warm, wet air from the Gulf of Mexico collides with cold, dry air moving south from Canada. The cold air is denser and heavier than the warm air, forcing the warm air to rise higher in the atmosphere. This can freeze the water particles in the warm air, creating clouds, rain and even hail. Sometimes such extreme changes in temperature, wind direction and height can lead to tornadoes. Shawn Byrne, Madison, Wisc., sentor, is a hydrometeorological technician at the National Weather Service. He said that severe weather such as tornadoes and thunderstorms required three main ingredients: warm air, cold air and moisture. Tornado season is different in different parts of the United States. Byrne said that Kansas will get the most storms in April, May, and June. In 2006, the National Weather Service recorded 92 tornados in Kansas. This was 37 more than the average 55 tornadoes recorded annually since 1980. Only three of those were what the National Weather Service considered strong tornadoes, designated as F2 on a scale measuring tornado strength. Steve Kays, meteorologist with the National Weather Service, said that F2 tornadoes have wind speeds of up to 157 mph. Southern states will get more storms earlier, and northern states will get their storms later in the year. It all depends on how long warm winds from the south take to reach the area. The storms are hard to predict, and Byrne suggests that students purchase an All Hazards Weather Radio, which sends out a loud severe weather warning. Kansan staff writer Joe Hunt can be contacted at jhunt@kansan. com. The annual statewide tornado drill will take place Tuesday at 1:30 p.m. Edited by Lisa Tilson severe weather What to do in a severe weather situation: If in a building, get to the lowest floor. A Enter a small room such as a closet or bathroom. Stay away from exterior walls, elevators, doors and glass.

"When you're sick, you don't specifically want to see the containers with the bio-hazard symbols," said Thomas, chair of design at the University of Kansas and a cancer survivor. Thomas, whose 87-year-old father spent time in a hospital in November recovering from a severe reaction to medication, reflected on his recent experiences with hospitals and decided he wanted to help healthcare facilities serve patients better. He came up with Design for Wellness, a consortium of University professors of design, architecture and associated disciplines. Thomas said the purpose of Design for Wellness was to make the workspaces and equipment used in Kansas healthcare facilities more safe, effective, efficient v and satisfactory for those who used them. He said that better healthcare designs should take into account what patients see, hear, smell and touch. For example, designing quieter and less conspicuous dental tools could make a trip to the dentist less frightening. He said better design could be as easy as putting a window in a patient's room and planting a tree. "From a patient's standpoint you want to be in an environment where you don't want to be reminded that you're sick." Thomas said. Mahubh Rashid, associate professor of design and Design for Wellness collaborator, said layout had a significant impact on how people behaved in their environment. He said one reason the United States was experiencing a shortage of nurses was because the average nurse walked 11 miles each day, which contributed to on-the-job SEE WELLNESS ON PAGE 4A 新 2A NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAS THURSDAY, MARCH 8, 2007 quote of the day "Control your time.

Tonight at the lackpot Saloon and Music Hall, 943 Massachusetts St., you can have another shot at the prom queen or king crown, provided you're dressed in the opposite sex's finest apparel. Jessica Anthony organized The 'Stache and Lash Drag Formal to benefit the Kansas City Anti Violence Project which provides services to members of the LGBT community who are victims of domestic violence, sexual assault or hate crimes. Anthony said the event, which starts at 10 p.m., would be a good opportunity to dress up and benefit the project, where she has been a volunteer since July. She said she had enjoyed wearing costumes since her childhood. "I just think I like gender and queer and temi- nist theories and I really like costumes, so they kind of meet in drag." Anthony said. "There are unique situations sometimes the mainstream organizations can't serve." Anthony said she'll be wearing a long tailed jacket and a top hat at the celebration, and said other people dressed in drag will have the opportunity to scale a small catwalk up the jackpot stage to show off their own costumes. She said the crowd can choose their favorite costumes in three categories: best queen, best king and best gender bender. or not straight and there will probably be some professional drag people too," Anthony said. She's sported a suit on more than one occasion by helping out with other drag shows and said the crowd tonight should feature a wide mix of people. "Many people there will be straight The Dolly Surprise Dance-a-Rama will spin records during the event, and member Kate Furst, who goes by DJ Furst Bass, said her group didn't hesitate when Anthony asked them to perform. "When I approached the other two girls they automatically said yes," she said. Furst said the group empathized with the cause because of the way people are often persecuted for being different and to help the project. Doug Riley, executive director of the Anti-Violence project, said the organization had been in service for four years and focused solely on LGBT community issues. DOUG RILEY Director of Kansas City Anti-Violence Project He said the organization, based in the Kansas City metro area, helped victims find emergency housing and helped in court and medical advocacy. "There are unique situations sometimes that mainstream organizations can't serve." Riley said. He said the project also reached out to the community through education and training services. The proceeds from the event tonight will mostly benefit those services, Riley said.

Edited by Mark Vierthaler THE LITTLE MERMAID THEATER Play showcases intense intimacy BY BETHANY BUNCH Cali Gilman, Olathe junior, hovers over Chelsie Shippley, Lakin sophomore, during a dress rehearsal of Jean Genet's "The Maids" last Thursday evening. "The Maids' follows two sister servants who secretly plot revenge on their mistress while she is away at night. When 'The Maids' opened in Paris in 1947, it caused an uprisk for its impetuous portrayal of the working class discontent. The University Theatre's most recent play, "The Maids", is a story of love, hate, economic class struggles and jealousy among sisters. "Now that was a creepy play," one audience member said before the final applause had finished. An all female, three-member cast performed for a small audience in Murphy Hall Wednesday night. The scenery and lighting provided an intimate-themed play. Michele Leon, assistant professor of theater and film, directed the cast. She wrote in the play's programs that the play was simply about the relationship between sisters. "I don't know any intimacy more intense, or frightening," Leon wrote. "Only sisters know what it takes to truly destroy each other." The play caused controversy when it opened in Paris in 1947 for its portrayal of discontent among the lower class. Two maids, representing the working class, paint a negative picture of the upper class. Laura Jennings, 2005 graduate, said after seeing the play she wasn't sure what the deeper meaning of the play was or if there was one. "I'm still trying to figure out what the underlying message is," lennings said. "The Maids", is Jennings' cousin. Cali Gilman, an actress in "I've seen four of her plays now," Jennings said. "This one is my favor-it because it's her biggest role and it was such an intimate setting." "The Maids" was playwright Jean Genet's first successful play. It was translated from French into English by Martin Crimp. The translation stayed true to Genet's original work but invigorated the language. "Genet challenged audiences to reconsider intimate female relationships and the origins of violence and passion." Leon said. Hull. Tickets are $10 for University students. Kansan staff writer Bethany Bunch can be contacted at bbunch@kansan.com. Staging of "The Maids" will continue today through Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at Stage Too! theater in Murphy —Edited by Lisa Tilson CRIME UPDATE BTK killer's former home demolished Wednesday PARK CITY — With little fanfare, this Wichita suburb demolished the house once owned by BTK serial killer Dennis Rader early Wednesday, as a police officer stood to by guard against people hoping to take off with pieces of the debris. Crews began work at about 7 a.m. and loaded the home's remains into four trucks to be hauled away. The city said earlier this year that it planned to destroy the house but did not say beforehand when that would happen. Park City Mayor Dee Stuart has said she didn't want the demolition to become a spectacle. In January, a person tried to sell what were described as pieces of the house on the Internet auction site eBay. The auction was eventually stopped before any bids came in. Rader and his family lived in the house for 25 years before he pleaded guilty to killing 10 people between 1974 and 1991. Rader called himself BTK for his preferred method of killing, "bind, torture and kill." He is serving 10 consecutive life terms in prison. The city paid less than 660,000 for the house earlier this year. It plans to use the land to create a new entryway to Jardine Memorial Park, a small park with trees, swings and a half basketball court.

The new guidelines, announced Feb. 28, require any student group requesting funding of more than $500 to meet with the Finance Committee chairman or Senate treasurers. Groups must do so before presenting their bills to Senate committees. The change is a way to help groups be better prepared and more knowledgeable about Senate rules on funding. Mike Wellens, Andover, Minn., junior and Senate Finance Committee chairman, said when a group asks for less than $500 they tend to need small things such as office supplies or copies. When asking for more than $500, Senate can't fund some of the things being asked for, such as travel expenses. "It's a way for us to have more contact with the student groups so that things can be done more effectively," Austin Kelly, Lawrence junior and Senate treasurer, said. Kelly said it is important for groups to get started early when seeking funding. Meeting with the Finance Committee chairman and treasurers helps a group to know what to expect when presenting their needs to Senate. "We want to see the communication process expedited and make sure the rules are known," Kelly said. Andrew Stangl, Wichita senior and President of the Society for Open-Minded Atheists and Agnostics, said being familiar with the rules helped his group when seeking funding for a guest speaker this month. "I think it's a good filtering process to make sure the money goes to the right place." Stangl said. He recalled a situation in 2004 when his group was trying to get funding for a speaker. It was his first time dealing with funding and he had little knowledge about the rules and regulations. Stangl said had he known the rules in advance, there wouldn't have been so much confusion. "Senate has an incredible amount of things to go through. The new guideline will help to sift through and get rid of bills they can't fund." Stangl said.

RODRIGUEZ ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN NICOLAS DE LOS GARZA, Mexico — A man who once weighted well over a half ton left his house for the first time in five years Wednesday — wheeled outside on his bed to greet neighbors and see a martachi band. "The sky is beautiful and blue and what I want is to enjoy the sun," said Manuel Uribe, who once been certified by doctors as weighing 1,235 pounds. Though still unable to leave his bed, Uribe has lost 395 pounds since he began a high-protein diet a year ago. He now weighs about 840 pounds. To celebrate the milestone, six people pushed Uribe's wheel-equipped iron bed out to the street as a mariacha band played and a crowd gathered. Then, a forklift lifted him onto a truck and the 41-year old rode through the streets of San Nicolas de los Garza, a Monterrey suburb. "It tills me with joy to see he's getting better." Uribe's neighbor Guadalupe Guerra said. Since 2002, Uribe has been bed-ridden, relying on his mother and friends to feed and clean him. He drew worldwide attention when he pleaded for help on national television in January 2006. Afterward, Uribe chose to accept help from Mexican nutritionists. He says he will stick to that diet until he reaches his goal of 265 pounds.

Rashid suggested that designing more centralized nursing stations could help. Two other Design for Wellness collaborators, Richard Branham, professor of design, and Kent Spreckelmeyer, professor of architecture and urban design, have put their students to work to design better hospital rooms. "You don't have to be technologically savvy to do these things," Rashid said. The professors are teaching a class that has students designing a model emergency room with moveable walls, furniture and tools. On Tuesday and Wednesday, students took the model room to North Kansas City Hospital to see how hospital staff would use the space. Hannah Fiechner, Sioux Falls, S.D., senior in design, said the room would help her design class see how to create more effective and efficient emergency rooms. "We basically built a huge experiment that people can go inside of," Fiechtner said. Lauren Daly, Olathe senior in design, said because hospital staff constantly washed their hands, the model could help decide the best place for a sink. She said the placement of things inside a hospital room was important, especially in life or death situations. Kansan staff writer Nathan Gill can be contacted at ngill@kansan. com.

"I have seen patients who have had heart bypass surgeries at age 18, because of problems with their cholesterol," Dunlap said. Dunlap said Fisher's increased testosterone levels following the study would increase his energy levels, muscle strength, and sexual potency.

One American soldier was wounded in the attack on the bombing-clearing team on a major highway just north of the capital, the U.S. military said. The names of the victims were withheld until their families are notified. But the operation, which will eventually see an additional 17,000 U.S. combat troops in the capital, has so far failed to intimidate Sunni insurgents, who have retaliated with attacks outside the city — including those against Shiite pilgrims.

Nowak didn't respond to a call to her Houston house seeking comment, and a spokeswoman for her BY MIKE SCHNEIDER ASSOCIATED PRESS CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Astronaut Lisa Nowak was fired from NASA on Wednesday, a month after she was charged with trying to kidnap a woman she regarded as her romantic rival for the affections of a space shuttle pilot. If Nowak were a civil servant, NASA would have the choice of placing her on administrative leave, leave without pay or indefinite suspension until the charges are resolved, said NASA spokesman lames Hartsfield in Houston. But because she is an officer, those options are not available. Nowak's dismissal did not reflect the space agency's belief in her guilt or innocence. NASA officials said. The agency said it lacked an administrative system to handle the allegations because Nowak is a naval officer on assignment to NASA, rather than a NASA civil servant. It was the first time NASA has publicly fired an astronaut, according to space historian Roger Launius of the Smithsonian Institution. She is also the first active astronaut to be charged with a felony, he said. She will be assigned to the stuff at the Chief of Naval Air Training in Corpus Christi, Texas, starting in two weeks, Navy Cmdr. Lydia Robertson said. Robertson said she didn't know what specific job Nowak would be doing. The space shuttle pilot who was the object of Nowak's affections, Navy Cmdr. Bill Oefelein, remains on active duty while working for NASA. Robertson said she could not speculate whether his status was under review. Chief astronaut Steve Lindsey notified Nowak late last month that she was to be fired from the astronaut corps. After her arrest, NASA placed Nowak on a 30-day leave, which was to end Thursday. attorney said she didn't have any immediate comment. Nowak, a mother of three, is accused of confronting Colleen Shipman, the woman who had become Oetelein's girlfriend, at the Orlando airport after driving from Houston. She wore an astronaut diaper so that she would not have to stop during her 900-mile trip, authorities said. She allegedly pepper-sprayed Shipman through a partially lowered car window. Police found a BB gun, new steel mallet, a knife and rubber tubing in Nowak's possession. Nowak, 43, pleaded not guilty to attempted kidnapping and burglary with assault. She was released on bail wearing a monitoring device on her ankle. She received a commission from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1985 and joined the astronaut corps in 1996. She flew on her first and only space shuttle mission last July during Discovery's 13-day trip to the international space station. 》'SCOOTER' LIBBY CASE Democrats ask Bush not to pardon former aide BY MICHAEL J. SNIFFEN ASSOCIATED PRESS ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Attorneys for L. Lewis "Scooter" Libby began crafting a request for a new trial Wednesday as the Bush White House tried to knock down speculation about a pardon for the convicted former aide. Libby, the former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, was found guilty of perjury and obstruction in the investigation into the 2003 leak of CIA operative Valerie Plame's identity. He is the highest ranking White House official convicted in a government scandal since the Iran-Contra affair two decades ago. His conviction immediately fueled speculation that Libby, who also served as an aide to President Bush, would be pardoned and spared prison. Top Democrats have called on Bush to pleade not to pardon him. "This was a lengthy trial on a serious matter, and a jury of his peers convicted him. And we've got to respect that conviction," the president said in an interview with CNN En Español. "On a personal note, I was sad. I was sad for a man who had worked in my administration, and particularly sad for his family." He said he could not comment further because it was an ongoing legal matter. At the White House, Bush was guarded in his comments. "All of this conversation, speculation about a pardon, I know, makes for interesting speculation, but it's just that," Snow said. "Right now, Scooter Libby and his attorneys have made clear that they're going to try to get a retrial and if they don't get that, they're going to get an appeal." the same reason for brushing off pardon questions. Snow said Bush is not necessarily stingy, but "careful" about giving out pardons. "These are not things to be treated blithely," Snow said, stressing that Bush takes the pardon process very seriously. "He wants to make sure that anybody who receives one Press secretary Tony Snow gave — that its warranted, but I would caution against any speculation in this case," Snow said.

PROCEEDS BENEFIT DOUGLAS COUNTY UNITED WAY SOLARIS KU LAWSUIT ASSOCIATED PRESS Government sues Walgreens for racial bias ST. LOUIS — The federal government Wednesday sued Walgreen Co., alleging widespread racial bias against thousands of black workers throughout the nation's largest drugstore chain. The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission alleged in a class-action lawsuit that Walgreen, based in Deerfield, IL., makes decisions about employee assignment and promotion based on race. Most of the complaints that led to the lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in East St. Louis. ill., came from employees and former employees in St. Louis, Kansas City, Detroit and Tampa, Fla. But EEOC officials in St. Louis said they have found evidence of the same trend around the country. Walgreen released a statement saying it was committed to "fairness, diversity and opportunity" and that it was "saddened and disappointed" by the EEOC action. "Our commitment is to providing opportunity to all employees Walgreen said it was the "nation's best represented retailer in urban — not only because it is the right thing to do but because our business was built on this principle," the statement said. Walgreen is the nation's largest drugstore chain by sales. It has more than 5,638 stores in 48 states and Puerto Rico. It had sales of $47.4 billion in the 2006 fiscal year. The lawsuit alleges that Walgreen assigns black managers, management trainees and pharmacists to low-performing stores and to stores in black communities, and denies them promotions, based on race. areas" and that "managers of all backgrounds are promoted to senior levels from those locations."

Long confirmed last week that Jolie had filed adoption papers, but did not provide any details about the child or how long the process would take. Jolie initiated the adoption process in the United States, but her application only arrived at Long's office last week. His department has approved the application and sent it to officials in Ho Chi Minh City, who also must review it Jolie and her partner, Brad Pitt, have three children; 5-year-old Maddox, adopted from Cambodia; 2-year-old Zahara, adopted from Ethiopia, and another daughter, Shiloh, who was born to the couple in May. NEW YORK — Lance Bass "tells all about his life, his music and his sexuality" in an upcoming autobiography, the publisher announced Wednesday. The publisher promises a behind-the-scenes look at the 27-year-old singer's day in boy band N Sync, as well as his headline-making venture to undergo astronaut training for a Russian space mission, which didn't pan out because he couldn't come up with the funds for the trip. The pair made a surprise visit to the Taminh orphanage at Thanks giving, when they were spotted cruising around Ho Chi Minh City on a motorbike. Bass announced in July that he is gay. He has said that he didn't reveal this earlier because he didn't want to affect 'N Sync's popularity.

EDITORIAL: Kansan editorial writers face off about the Joe-College.com vs. University trademark T-shirt debate. THURSDAY, MARCH 8, 2007 WWW.KANSAN.COM See Kansan.com for more opinions and Free for All comments THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN OPINION PAGE 7A 》 OUR VIEW FACE OFF: Are low-brow T-shirts OK? Tasha Riggins and McKay Stangler take a stance on the Joe-College.com T-shirts The University of Kansas, established 141 years ago, has certainly made a name for itself. It has produced Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist William Allen White, several NCAA national basketball champions and Alan Mullaly, president and CEO of the Ford Motor Company. With its distinguished alumni and accomplishments, the University of Kansas doesn't need to be reduced to a picture of a sperm cell. Joe-College.com's shirts, though not associated with the University, certainly damage the University's image. As reported in Tuesday's Kansan, the Athletics Department addressed the issue of the T-shirts' negative focus. This comes as no surprise after the debates about the appropriateness of the "Muck Fizzou" shirts. If trademark infringement charges are the only way to protect the University's good name, then the University should file suit against Joe-College.com. A shirt implying females from Missouri are'trash isn't funny enough to tarnish 141 years of prestige. A shirt implying females from Missouri are "trash" isn't funny enough to justify tarmishing 141 years of prestige. Implying masturbation, "Why play with Roy when we can play with our Self?" is potty humor better left to junior high children who can't come up with more clever and classy insults. Yes the shirts at Joe College.com are unlicensed, but the shirts are inextricably linked to the University because of their content. For every person at the game or at home watching who knows the shirts aren't associated with the University, there's another person that thinks the two are one and the same. Bill Skepnek, attorney for Joe-College.com, was quoted in Tuesday's Kansas as saying "Trademark law is not intended to protect a fool," but do we really want our image in the hands of all those "fools" who will create negative associations between the two? Certainly not. Leaving the University's image in the hands of all those inevitable "fools" is silly. The University can and should take all steps possible to protect its good name. This isn't about money, it's about reputation and how the University community views itself. It's good business to protect oneself. And the University is in the business of great students, great sports, great history and an even better name. When outsiders look at KU students, they should see the tradition and legacy of former and current senators, actors, chemists and poets, not shirts that say "We know how to handle our balls." — Tasha Riggins for the editorial board. The University of Kansas has a compelling and vested interest in maintaining its pristine image of wholesome Midwestern values, but it would do well to tread lightly in its pending legal fracas with Ioe-College.com. Trademark law is a malleable field within the developing world of intellectual property, and the University would be wise to not rush into any unnecessary action in this still evolving area. The Jayhawk logo, University name and obvious athletic references are trademarks worth protecting. But the foray into the distasteful shelves of Joe-College.com comes dangerously close to infringing upon free market practice by private vendors. The garb proffered by Joe-College.com, online and at it: downtown den, is an odd congies of objectionable slogans, sophomoric humor, and a wearyingly relentless assault on our neighbor to the east. But it remains to be seen if the proprii The foray into the distasteful shelves of Joe-College.com comes dangerously close to infringing upon free market practice by private vendors. eters are directly profiting from the University's name or logo, or merely trafficking in transparent references to the school, its storied athletic programs and the physical traits of various staff. If it is the latter, the University may find itself in the unenviable position of taking on every nickel-and-dime vendor that pops up on game days, along with the next crop of stores sure to replace Joe-College.com should it be crippled by legal action. The University would do well to enforce a strict standard concerning the pursuit of any potential legal action, and to dismiss any meager threat posed by local vendors. If the University is going to fight any local shop pushing blue shirts featuring some variation of the word "hawk" and an insult to a neighboring school, then they should commit to that policy wholeheartedly. The proprietor of this kind of store, a sort of self-styled Thomas Paine of infantile humor, is probably correct that he is violating little or no part of applicable trademark law. The standard of the reasonable person may not allow the University to impose any kind of penalty or levy in this case. But for the benefit of future conflicts, of which similar ones are sure to arise, the University should commit to a specific set of guidelines regarding image and property. Relentlessly pursuing those who appeal to the basest elements of humor is an unappealing proposition indeed. — McKay Stangler for the editorial board.

Who will unleash its latent energy by supplying the half-baked ideas around which its anger can coalesce? Allow me to humbly submit, for your consideration, my name. College students spend a lot of time studying the ideas of old philosophers whose genius is said to endure. But if guys like Locke and Rousseau were so smart, why are they still dead? In the two centuries since they drew their last breaths, society has changed like a caterpillar going through chrysalis. The happy go- lucky days of citizens forging a social contract are gone, replaced by the angry for-no-reason age of modernity, where everyone is a potential member of an enraged mob, only needing direction. Why not me? I've got what it Don't be lazy in quest for irrational anger takes to build a philosophy with real-life usefulness. First of all, you need to find an outlet for your seething rage.

EDITORIAL BOARD Gabrielle Souza, Nicole Keiley, Patricia Ross, Courtney Hagen, Natalie Johnson, Alison Kieler, Tasha Riggins and Mckay Stangler 8A NEWS THE UNIVERSITY JAXAN'S THURSDAY MARCH 2007 》WASTEWATER LEGISLATION House approves aid for sewage systems BY JIM ABRAMS ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — The House on Wednesday overwhelmingly endorsed federal help for communities faced with deteriorating sewage systems, ignoring White House warriors that the cost was too high. The legislation, approved 367-58, would spend $1.7 billion over five years in federal grants to states and municipalities to modernize wastewater systems and control sewage overflows that pollute rivers and streams and pose health risks. Those voting against the bill, which now moves to the Senate, were all Republicans. "No American should have to walk outside after a storm to see seewage in the streets," said Rep. Doris Matsui (D-California). Supporters cited Environmental Protection Agency estimates that the nation's wastewater infrastructure would face a funding shortfall of $300 billion to $400 billion over the next 20 years. "We're talking about affecting the lives of over 40 million people," said Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-New Jersey), a chief sponsor of the legislation. Rep. Dave Camp (R-Michigan), a sponsor, said many of the sewage systems in his state were built in the 19th century. In 2005; he said, there were more than 1,000 sewer overflows in the state, spilling 20 billion gallons of sewage and wastewater onto the ground and into rivers, lakes and streams. The White House, in a statement released Tuesday, said the administration strongly opposes the bill, stating that the money approved was "unrealistic in the current fiscal environment." It added that the bill could also encourage municipalities to delay starting sewer infrastructure projects while they wait for federal subsidies. The statement promoted an administration proposal to give exceptions to state caps on tax exempt private activity bonds for wastewater and drinking water projects. In a gesture to fiscal conservatives, Democrats agreed to an amendment offered by Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) to cut the original proposal for $1.8 billion over five years by $100 million. According to a 2004 EPA report, about 850 billion gallons of untreated wastewater and storm water are released every year as combined sewer overflow. There are also between 23,000 and 75,000 incidents each year of sanitary sewer overflow, releasing between 3 billion and 10 billion gallons. Combined sewer systems collect rainwater runoff, domestic sewage and industrial wastewater in one pipe. Sanitary sewer systems carry only sewage from homes and industrial and commercial wastewater. The EPA says there are roughly 772 communities serving some 40 million people with the older and more vulnerable combined sewer systems. Most are located in the Northeast and Great Lakes areas, with some in the Pacific Northwest. Congress in 2002 and 2003 also approved federal grants under the Clean Water Act for sewer systems, but then failed to appropriate the money in annual spending bills. The legislation is one of three water quality bills the House is taking up this week. On Thursday it plans to revisit a defunct Clean Water Act program providing $125 million in grants for alternative water source projects. The administration also opposes this bill, saving it costs too much and is unnecessary because of other available funding sources. On Friday it is to act on the Clean Water State Revolving Fund, which would give out up to $20 billion in loans over five years for water pollution abatement projects. >> NATIONAL PARKS [Image of a Native American figure standing on a cliff, holding an object.] Ross D.

MBA@Avila.edu < THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN BIG 12 TOURNAMENT SPECIAL SECTION THURSDAY, MARCH 8, 2007 A Year of GROWTH 07 GRS When Sherron Collins breaks through defensive pressure and passes the ball to Mario Chalmers, who tosses Julian Wright an alley-oop,the whole process looks like one fluid motion. But behind that 15-second highlight is months of weight-lifting, running and other drills during early-morning and late-night practices. On the eve of the Big 12 Tournament, The Kansan takes a look at how this year's team has grown since we first saw them in October. BRACKET AND TOURNAMENT COVERAGE PLUS A FULL SPORTS SECTION INSIDE ILLUSTRATION BY GRANT SNIDER Kansas' own elite eight shine bright in March BRANDON RUSH Sophomore guard BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS THEN: Fans expected Rush to jump straight to the NBA after his freshman year, but a year of college basketball revealed the weaknesses in his game. Those included indecisiveness on the court and ball-handling strangles. NOW: Rush has come into his own as a scorer. He leads the team in points, and rarely hesitates when he has an open shot. He said his biggest improvements have come on defense. "I think I've learned to slide my feet instead of using my hands," he said. Even with all these KANSAS 25 for him to enter the draft this year because of two mini-slumps during the season, as well as continued questions about his ball-handling skills. He acknowledges that his tendency to turn the ball over limits the number of touches he gets during crunch time, when he would be able to make high-profile shots. RUSSELL ROBINSON Junior guard THEN: With no seniors on the year's team, Robinson became the most-tenured jayhawk. There were questions as to whether hed be able to assume a leadership role. this come the here gether leader KANSAS 3 NOW: Before the 2006 season was over, Robinson sought out the outgoing senators for advice, and since then sought out opportunities to lead the team. After a sluggish game against Ball State in Las Vegas, he gathered the players for a team meeting so they could vent and address their concerns. He said that his teammates have helped play a big role in his success. "We help one another and we care about one another; he said, 'It's like a brotherhood.'" When the Jayhawks take the court Friday in Oklahoma City, it will be a much different team than the one that defeated Northern Arizona by 34 to open the season. Instead of star players carrying the team, eight players have emerged who are worthy of playing time. In the month of February alone, six different Jayhawks have finished games as the team's leading scorer. Here's a look at who will be making plays in March, and how they've progressed since the start of the season. JULIAN WRIGHT Sophomore forward THEN: Expectations wer high for Wright, who shared Big 12 preseason player of the year honors with Rush. He returned to Kansas after deciding not to enter the NBA draft. NOW: ward ons were shared ayer of Rush. as after er the LANSAS 30 Opposing teams have to throw out conventional defenses when they take on Wright. His size and speed allow him to make plays that other forwards would only dream of, and he can still step back to hit a three-point shot. He's improved his ability to take over the team, which comes in handy during big games. During the tournament, he'll have to play well for the Jayhawks to have a chance at the Final Four. Oh, and that NBA thing isn't going to go away, either. SHERRON COLLINS THEN: Collins joined the team significantly overweight, and had troubles adjusting to life in Lawrence, as most freshmen do. At the beginning of the year, he cited his three-point shot as the area of his game that needed improvement. NOW: After a strict diet-and-exercise program, Collins is back to his ideal playing weight and provides a burst of energy off the bench. He's been a key addition in the team. KANSAS 4 of the Kansas team, including games against rivals Kansas State and Missouri. His three-pointer is connecting with impressive 42 percent accuracy. Coach Bill Self said his contributions have been vital down the stretch. "We wouldn't have won the league without Sherron," he said. DARRELL ARTHUR Freshman forward THEN: About to commi to Baylor, Arthur took one more night to think about his college decision. He had a dream where he was playing at Kansas, and became a Jayhawk the next day. NOW: The player Arthur is most compared to is Wright, mainly because of their size. Arthur made an immediate contribution and earned playing time during the first weeks of the season. He has slowed down since then, but still averages double-digit 00 scoring and plays almost 20 scoring and plays almost 20 minutes per game. His minutes have been limited by foul trouble, as he's fouled out of two games and accumulated a team-high 85 fouls this season. He'll eventually be in an NBA jersey - the only question is how soon. DARNELL JACKSON Junior forward THEN; Jackson had an extremely difficult sophomore year. Personal tragedy struck his family when his grandmother died, and then he was suspended for several games because of his connections with a booster. NOW: it took Jackson a while to get rolling, but in the past few weeks he has begun to play some of the best basketball of his career. He's been rewarded with more time in the lineup, especially in games where the other big men get into foul trouble. He's also pulled down an average of five rebounds per game. 9 32 MARIO CHALMERS Sophomore guard THEN: Chalmers had a rough freshman campaign, but began to excel in the final weeks of the season. He came into this season with the goal of refining his shooting touch. KANSAS 15 NOW: He's not the most consistent scorer, but Chalmers lights up the scoreboard when he starts connecting. His 12.1 points per game are the second highest on the team, no small feat in the Jayhawks' lineup. The team is also feeding off his defense. He's created a team high 79 steals by using his quick hands against opposing guards. SASHA KAUN Junior center THEN: The knock on Kaun was that he couldn't shoot free throws. Aside from that, Jayhawk fans wanted to see more consistency on the post from the big man this year. NOW: The emergence of Arthur has helped take a lot of the pressure off of Kaun, who doesn't have to worry as much about getting in foul trouble. He's improved his play on the post, where coach Bill Self encourages his players to play a tough, physical game. As for the free throw shooting: was that Aside all. Kaun is making just 53 percent of his foul line shots this season. Kansan senior sportswriter Michael Phillips can be contacted at mphillips@kansan.com.

This is relevant because the game was played in W.L. White Auditorium, home of the women's basketball team at Emporia State University — quite possibly the most successful women's basketball program in the state over the past 10 years. Beware, Emporia fans, Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson has her players making a run at a title that has been yours. The Jayhawks struggled mightily this year, but somehow, some way, the team started winning games down the stretch. It won't be this year, but the Kansas women will soon make a name for themselves that will rival the other women's basketball programs in the state. Kansas picked up a virtually impossible win Tuesday and hung in there for some time against Baylor on Wednesday night. Sure the much more highly seeded Bears eventually had their way with a young and vastly overmatched Jayhawk team, but just winning one game far exceeded the reasonable expectations of anyone but those who are on the team. Henrickson took a group of seven freshmen, three sophomores, two juniors and two seniors, and turned them into a team that could win. Freshman Kelly Kohn became a real scoring threat this season — although she contributed no points in losing to Baylor — and a team leader. Senior Sharita Smith developed into a player the jayhawks could count on. The starting guard chipped in six points in losing to Baylor. While they had Smith, what this team was missing all season long was a senior who could pick up the young team until the freshman matured. Crystal Kemp fulfilled that role on last year's team. The Jayhawks had someone who could have been this year's senior leader. Arkansas junior Lauren Ervin would have been a senior at Kansas this year, if not for a transfer after her freshman campaign. Ervin, who is only the second ever Arkansas women's basketball player to average in double figures, was named to the SEC all-conference team and has seemed to find the maturity that eluded her at Kansas. Ervin, who was at the heart of a brawl in Columbia, Mo., her freshman year, is on her fourth school since leaving Kansas, but she finally seems to have gotten her act together. What could have been if the Ervin of 2006-2007 had appeared in 2003-2004? Odds are this year's women's basketball team would have been much better and would have won enough games to at least SEE KEALING ON PAGE 5B BASEBALL Second-longest game ends in blowout 0 Erik Morrison, junior shortstop, hits a homerun during Wednesday night's game at Hoglund Ballpark. The hit gave the Jayhawks three runs in their 27-4 victory against the Baker Wildcats. Lisa Lipovac/KANSAN BY ALISSA BAUER Loyal through the first half of Wednesday's 24-7 blowout against Baker (5-4) University, Kansas (11-5) fans were scarce by the end of chilly midweek game. The second longest game of the season, at two hours and 52 minutes, completed the Jayhawks' four games in-four-days run. The last time the Jayhawks unloaded a beating like Wednesday's was in the 2004 season against the University of Wisconsin—Milwaukee. The back-to-back midweek games played before heading to No. 10 Arkansas this weekend resulted in 42 Kansas runs on 43 hits. "Those are games you have to dominate when you're a Division I program," coach Ritch Price said. "You're trying to get everyone in the ballgame and in order to do that your players have to swing the bats the way they're capable of." At least the lajhayws shared the load amongst themselves, as Price kept his word getting his younger players in to Wednesday's game. Twenty-four of the Jayhawks' 35-man roster saw time against the Wildcats. Of the position players, all but five had at least one hit. Junior shortstop Eric Morrison again led the way for the potent Jayhawk offense, hitting a solid 3-for-4, including a three-run homer, scoring three times and knocking four runs in. Once again, the shortstop was just a triple away from the cycle. "I'm not really worried about any of the cycle stuff." Morrison said. "I mean, it would be pretty sweet to get it. It's in the back of the mind, but we got the 'W.'" Like Tabor College the night before, Baker jumped on Kansas first. The Wildcats manufactured a run, driving in lead off batter Ben Mejia with back-to-back ground outs to the right side. Much like Tuesday night, Kansas BAYLOR 71,KANSAS 54 CINDERELLA RUN BLOCKED SEE BASEBALL ON PAGE 4B Miracle run falls short after rough start to game BY ASHER FUSCO BKR 11 KANSAS OKLAHOMA CITY — After upsetting Oklahoma State on Tuesday, Kansas hoped to extend their improbable drive through the Big 12 Tournament against Baylor on Wednesday. After a 71-54 loss, it appears the Jayhawks may have used the last of their energy in the first round. Kansas was noticeably sluggish compared to a Baylor squad that last played on Feb. 28. Kansas players that rarely showed signs of fatigue throughout the season routinely looked one step behind their opponents. Early on in the game, Baylor forward Bernice Mosby looked deserving of the All-Big 12 First Team nomination she received this season. The lanky senior took advantage of Kansas' fatigue, grabbing rebounds, maneuvering through the Kansas defense and scoring with ease on several occasions. The senior finished with 12 points in only 22 minutes of playing time. By the time 10 minutes had ticked off of the clock in the first half, Baylor had jumped out to a 16-6 lead. Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson paced the sideline pleading the Jayhawks to get into their defensive sets as the Bears went on a 14-2 run.

BY DANIEL MOLINA Senior co-captain Jenny Short, sophomore Danielle Herrmann and freshman Ashley Robinson received invitations to the three-day event at the University of Minnesota. Each swimmer qualified in her respective race by swimming a time that ranks in the top 31 in the nation. The last time Kansas qualified three swimmers was in 1998. Even more impressive is that each swimmer will hit the water in multiple races throughout the competition. Short is set to compete in both the 100- and 200-yard backstroke races. Herrmann will do the same in the breaststroke category and will also swim in the 200 yard individual medley. Robinson, a Jayhawk newcomer who came out of nowhere to place 3rd at the Big 12 Championships in the 1650-yard freestyle, will represent Kansas in that event as well as in the 500-ward freestyle. The group is led into Minnesota by Short, one of two layhawks to qualify for the NCAA Championships in 2005. This year's championships will see a career come full circle for the Olathe native. Her first 200-yard backstroke race as a freshman was in the same pool. It also marks her final go-around in a collegiate setting, a bittersweet reality for the senior. However, her experience at the tournament two years ago should come in handy. "I feel a lot more confident this time around, it was completely a surprise," Short said. "This year it was my goal." "We come in with the attitude of simply achieving a best time in their events," Campbell said. "Instead of thinking about winning or placing in For first-timers Robinson and Herrmann, both Short and coach Clark Campbell stressed a simple approach. Short's advice: relax and enjoy the moment. "There aren't any expectations, necessarily, this time around." Short said. "They have two or three years left and they're so talented."

On Wednesday night, the Kansas bullpen came through to shut down a Baker offense that was surprisingly potent early in the game. Coach Ritch Price had to turn to his releivers a little earlier than planned after freshman right-hander Thomas Marcin allowed six runs to cross the plate before recording the final out of the second inning. At least only two of the six runs were earned during his 1/23 inning start. Two key errors didn't help, especially since one of the errors was Marcin's. He also struggled with his command, allowing two walks and hitting a batter. The poor showing from Marcin was a surprise to Price, Marcin had allowed just one run and walked two batters in 11 innings before Wednesday. "The only thing I was disappointed with in the evening was obviously Thomas Marcin's outing." Price said. "I told him after he came out that four years ago, Donnie Czvz started against Baker College, didn't get out of the inning, we got beat and he picked up the loss. Then he became an All-American. "Thomas has been absolutely fabulous for us. That's the first bad outing he's had. That's the first time he's not been rock solid." Senior right-hander Ryotaro Hayakawa, a veteran reliever for Kansas, was the first Jayhawk in from the pen. In his 1 1/3 innings of work, he was able to shut out the Wildcats. Sophomore left-hander Andy Marks, one of Kansas weekend starters, was the next Kansas reliever and he had the longest outing of any pitcher Wednesday. He lasted three innings, striking out six and allowing one run on three walks and two hits. As surprised as Price was at Marcin's performance, Marks was just as surprised that he got into the game. "I actually didn't expect to get into the game at all." Marks said. "I was expecting to throw a bullpen session after the game" However, Marks was glad he got the unanticipated game work heading into this weekend. He is slated to pitch on Sunday against No. 10 Arkansas, but until Wednesday, his last appearance was on Feb. 25 at Stanford because the third game of the Western Illinois series, in which Marks was supposed to start, was cancelled. After Marks' solid appearance, junior right handers Matt Lane and Hiarali Garcia combined to pitch the seventh and eighth innings. The only blemish on their final lines was a hit allowed apiece. Despite the shaky start to Kansas evening, the team was encouraged by the support it received from the bullpen. Although Marks probably won't be making any appearances out of the bullpen any time soon, he might have benefited the most as he earned his third victory of the season. Game note: -Junior left fielder John Allman extended his hitting streak to 10 games with a double in the fifth inning. "It was a good thing to get some guys some work," Marks said. "I really needed some work before I start on Sunday, so I'm glad that I got a couple innings in." Kansan sportswriter Shawn Shroyer can be contacted at sshroyer@ kansan.com.

Before that, he was Army's linebackers coach for two years. LAWRENCE — Kansas hired former NFL linebacker Steve Tovar as its linebackers coach on Wednesday. After a standout career at Ohio State, Tovar was taken in the third round of the 1993 NFL draft. He played eight seasons in the league with the Cincinnati Bengals, San Diego Chargers and Carolina Panthers. "Steve coaches with the same drive and intensity he displayed as a player," coach Mark Mangino said in a release announcing Tovar's hiring. "He's very bright and will be an excellent teacher of schemes and fundamentals. We are very pleased to have him join our staff." Chiefs sign long snapper for four-year contract Darche, a native of Montreal, played in 97 games over seven seasons with Seattle. An unrestricted ed free agent, he had 18 tackles on special teams and played in five postseason games, including Super Bowl XL. KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Chiefs signed long snapper Jean-Philippe Darche to a four-year contract Wednesday. Also Wednesday, the Chiefs hire Brent Salazar to be the assistant strength and conditioning coach. He likely replaces longtime long snapper Kendall Gammon, an unrestricted free agent. Salazar spent last season at the University of the Pacific, after working with the Denver Broncos as a strength and conditioning intern during the 2005 offseason. He has also worked with UNLV, New Mexico and at Velocity Sports Performance, which prepares players for the NFL Combine. Associated Press BASEBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B) 11 Lisa Lipovac/KANSAN Thomas Marcin, freshman pitcher, throws during last nights' game against Baker at Hoglund Ballpark. The Jayhawks beat the Wildcats 24-7. Unlike Labor, Baker found a surge in their half of the second inning. Only powered by two Wildcat hits and kept alive by two costly jayawk errors, the exploded with a big bining. A pair of walks put senior center-fielder Kyle Murphy and junior left fielder John Allman on board for a Morrison blast. It was the junior's third of the season, and gave Kansas a quick 4-1 lead. Cats put up five-runs and retook the lead, 6-4. Kansas was ready for the task of regaining their lead. In the bottom of the second, the lajhyaws bat "That's kind of the motto, we need to be greedy," Morrison said. "We need to be sellish in this game." The Tabor sequel then resumed. Baker's five-run second was the only true fight the Wildcats scraped together. The NAIA squad scored once more to the Jayhawks' 14-run onslaught. "That's kind of the motto; we need to be greedy. We need to be selfish in this game." Sophomore left hander Andy Marks (3-1) picked up the victory in relief. With three even innings, ERICK MORRISON Junior shortstop ted around en route to a six-run inning. Instead of helping with errors the way Kansas did, Baker starting pitcher Joe Kaup hit three batters, two of which scored. Kaup (1-1) would take the loss after surviving only a two innning out, surrendering 10 earned runs. Combined with five Jayhawk hits, highlighted by sophomore Preston Land and junior Brock Simpson's two-RBI singles, swayed the shoot out to 10-6 in the home team's favor. just a victory. Marks had the longest outing of all five of the layhawk pitchers. Making the most of a game that mercifully ended in a run-rule after the eighth. Price used the game for more than "No. I just feel good that everybody got to play and that everybody got on at bat," Price said. "I feel bad that Max Ellenbacher was supposed to pitch the ninth inning and the game got out of hand in the eighth inning and that was the end."

RECORDS RECORDS Kansas 11-20 Baylor 25-6 SPORTS BRIEFS Porter signs on for 5 years with the Miami Dolphins MIAMI — Joey Porter has agreed to a five-year, $32 million contract with the Miami Dolphins, making the former second team All-Pro linebacker the first marquee player to join the club during this free agent period. Porter is guaranteed $20 million in the deal, according to a person with knowledge of the discussion who requested anonymity because Porter has not yet passed his physical and the contract may not be signed until Thursday. Former St. Louis Cardinal accused of extortion ST LOUIS —The athlete targeted in an alleged $150,000 shakedown by an unemployed excon was former St Louis Cardinal second baseman Ronnie Bellard, a person close to the matter confirmed to The Associated Press. Federal prosecutors have described the athlete in court only as "the victim." George Edwards, 48, is accused of extortion for allegedly seeking money for silence about the player supposedly impregnating Edwards' daughter. The person familiar with the investigation identified the player as Belliard, who recently signed with the minor-league Washington Nationals. Mosley's tireless efforts not enough to win WOMEN'S BASKETBALL OKLAHOMA CITY Kansas' season was supposed to center around the development of its seven freshmen, but senior guard Shaquina Mosley had her own story to write. So it was appropriate that the focus, once again, revolved around Mosley in Wednesday's season-end baking to Bavior. "A lot of people asked me at the beginning of the season if I regretted coming here." Mosley said. "And I didn't. Coming here has made me a better person." Mosley led the team with 16 points. When seemingly everything was going wrong. Mosley was the leader the lahwacks needed. By all accounts, the first half was a disaster. Kansas went into the locker room shooting only 27 percent and down 35-19. Mosley had of 10 those 19 points. The Jayhawks also came out in the first half looking undoubted edly tired. A hard fought first round win over Oklahoma State on Tuesday, in which only seven players played all 40 minutes, was to blame. Every Jayhawk that checked into the game seemed tired and unable to play with the same intensity as they did only 24 hours before. Mosley was the only exception. She raced up and down the court for the first 20 minutes looking as fresh as could be. Near the end of the first half, Mosley took a dangerous dive into the Baylor cheerleaders for a loose ball. For a second, it looked like she might not get up. But as anyone who has watched Kansas this season knew she would, Mosley got up. 3 Sue Ogrocki/ASSOCIATED PRESS The 5-foot-6 guard from Lancaster, Calif., that has served as the Jayhawks spark plug all year found herself in an unfamiliar position. Suddenly, Mosley was spending her time watching the game buried at the end of the bench. Mosley played only eight minutes out of the final 20. Things weren't the same in the second half. After adding an assist and a rebound to her stat line, the fatigue appeared even in Mosley. Although after the first half it didn't look like things could get much worse for the Jayhawks, they did in the second. Without Mosley's direction, not only did Kansas' shots continue not to fall, but the team played tentatively. Defensively, the guards merely watched as Bear guards Angela Tisdale and Jhasim Player penetrated the lane on numerous occasions. Junior forward Taylor Mcintosh jumps to the basket in front of Baylor forward Bernice Mosky in the second half of the second round game in the Big 12 Tournament. Associated Press By the time Mosley checked back in with seven minutes remaining, the game was of out reach as Baylor had extended its lead to 59-40. Mosley didn't let it faze her, though. She played as if the game was still a close one. Right before her tenure as a Jayhawk ended, she converted on a rare four-point play opportunity. Despite the disappointing loss, there's no doubt what coach Bonnie Henrickson will remember from the 2006-2007 Kansas basketball season: the feisty guard in the No. 21 jersey, Shaquina Moseley. "Shaq to the rack, that's probably fair," she said. "Just her aggressiveness and willing to step up and make big shots." Kansan sportswriter Case Keefer can be contacted at ckeefer@kansan.com. — Edited by Jyl Unruh WOMEN'S BASKETBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B) "Coming out early we were just not expecting it," freshman forward Danielle McCray said. "We were down, I could feel it in the huddle." At one point in the first half, Henrickson inserted seldom used freshman guard LaChelda facos in an effort to build some momentum. In the second half, Henrickson pulled out McCray in favor of junior forward Jamie Boyd. The experiments were ill-fated. Jacobs had as many turnovers as points, and Bovd did not score. "I went to the bench early to see if anyone would respond." Hendrickson KU BAYLOR 32 Baylor forward Bernice Mosby drives past junior forward Taylor McIntosh in the second half.

As the final game of the season neared its conclusion, Kansas showed the grit and determination that earned the team victories over larger and more talented opponents. Trailing by 26 with six minutes remaining, seniors Smith and Mosley led a 10-1 run over the course of three minutes that ended in a standing ovation from the small, but vocal, group of Kansas fans in attendance. On Wednesday,dayright,most things seemed to work against Kansas. said. "But we didn't, and they just controlled the game." She tried to stop Baylor using several different defensive schemes. The layhawks implemented both zone and man-to-man defenses at different times, but failed to contain the Bears, who shot 49 percent from the field. Henrickson's frustration boiled over when the usually reserved coach received a technical foul with 12,38 remaining in the second half for arguing a call. The technical was Henrickson's first during her three seasons at Kansas. Senior guard Shaquina Mosley scored 16 points and played with her usual flair, but she was the lone bright spot from much of the game. Apart from Mosley, the layhawks shot a combined 4-for-18 in the first half. The result of the poor shooting was a 35-19 Baylor halftime lead. When the layhaws took the court in the second half, they possessed renewed energy but could not cut into the sizeable deficit. Senior guard Sharita Smith was the most aggressive Kansas player in the second half. She shed her usually timid offensive style of play and focused on attacking the basket. Smith scored four points early in the second half and finished the final game of her collegiate career with six points.

This year, however, his selection committee faces a new twist — picking the top seeds. With Florida's late-season struggles, Wisconsin's injuries and Kansas' power ranking, Walters acknowledged Wednesday that putting together the 65 team field this weekend will be far from clear cut. "There appears to be less clarity at the top this year. Walters, the committee chairman, said during conference call day hours before the 10-member group was to meet. "So that could change the seeding if someone stubs their toes in the conference tournament." While much of the talk focuses on whether mid minor schools such as Old Dominion and Drexel of the Colonial Athletic Association, Santa Clara of the West Coast Conference and Missouri State of the Missouri Valley Conference have done enough to warrant at large bids, the debate among committee members may be driven more by seeding. Among those in the mix are Florida and Wisconsin. The Gators (26-5) are the defending national champions, the regular season Southeastern Conference champs and were ranked No. 1 as recently as four weeks ago. Yet consecutive losses at LSU and Tennessee, before beating Kentucky at home last weekend, have knocked the Gators down to No. 6 in The Associated Press poll. No. 9 in the RPI Index, a calculation that included victories over Division I opponents, strength of schedule and opponents' strength of schedule. So Florida could be fighting for a top seed when the SEC tournament begins Thursday. Wisconsin (27-4) finds itself in a different predicament. The Badgers are No. 3 in the poll and No. 4 in the NCAAs RPI ratings, but haven't looked the same since starting center Brian Butch went down with a right elbow injury during a 1-point loss to No. 1 Ohio State on Feb. 25. Butch was expected to miss four to six weeks, meaning he could miss the rest of the season, and the Badgers have struggled to score without him. The only lock, heading into the weekend, may be top ranked Ohio State (27 3), which is No. 2 in the RPI and has steadily improved throughout the season. Otherwise, it's a muddled picture. UCLA (26-4), which lost to Florida in last year's championship game, is ranked No. 4 in the poll and No. 1 in the RPI, so a strong showing in the Pac-10 tournament could solidify its bold on a top seed. Kansas (27-4) is ranked No. 2 this week but has an RPI rating (15) that could force the Jayhawks on the top line if they make an early exit in the Big 12 tournament. NHL Penguins consider Las Vegas Owner, mayor lead delegation to discuss possible move BY DANIEL LOVEING ASSOCIATED PRESS PITTSBURGH — Penguins owner Ron Burkle traveled to Las Vegas on Wednesday to meet with the mayor and discuss the possibility of relocating the team there. Ottawa Sena Pitts Burkle, who lives in Los Angeles, led a delegation in talks with Las Vegas Mayor Oscar B. Goodman, according to Penguins spokesman Tom McMullan. Meanwhile, Burkle and co-owner Mario Lemieux all prepared to meet with state, county and local officials on Thursday in Philadelphia to try to resolve differences over plans for a new arena in Pittsburgh. Elena Owens, a spokeswoman for Goodman, confirmed the meeting with Penguins officials and said, "they had a very pleasant conversation."

Air time Ed Andrieski/ASSOCIATED PRESS Broken 47 Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Hernan Iribarren, left, throws to first forcing out Colorado Rockies baserunner John Marby on the front end of a double play during the second inning of a spring training baseball game in Tuson, Arizona. Anzio, on Wednesday. OKLAHOMA CITY — Texas Tech coach Bob Knight wasn't about to guess whether his Red Raiders had already done enough to merit a spot in the NCAA tournament field. ing," he said. "I never have gotten involved with that type of thought." NCAA BASKETBALL Big 12 teams seek to extend season Knight's leading scorer, larrus Jackson, thought it best that the Red Raiders make a strong "I'm not on the tournament committee, and I have no way of know last impression at the Big 12 tournament, starting Thursday against Colorado. "We're not for sure in the (NCAA) tournament yet, so we have to come to this tournament and try to make some noise and have a good run in this tournament to make sure that we're in," Jackson said Wednesday. "We know that we've still got work to do." The Red Raiders (20-11, 9-7 Big 12) appeared to be in good position after consecutive wins against top-10 teams Kansas and Texas A&M back in January. But Tech followed those two impressive victories with Knight's longest losing streak in decades, and the five losses put the Red Raiders' postseason hopes firmly in jeopardy. Heading into their opening round game against twelfth-seeded Colorado (7-19, 3-13), the Red Raiders have won five of their last six games, beginning with another resume-building win at Texas A&M. "We know that we've still got work to do," Tech guard Martin Zeno said. "We've just got to come to this tournament and just play every game better than we did earlier in the season." uncertain of its postseason fate, while other teams are still clinging to hope. The Wildcats won 10 games in league play — usually a benchmark for Big 12 teams seeking a bid to the 65-team NCAA field — but started this week with an RPI of 59. Texas Tech's RPI is 40 and Oklahoma States is 52, even with a 6-10 Big 12 record and zero road wins. Along with Texas Tech, fourth-seeded Kansas State (21-10, 10-6) enters the conference tournament MARTIN ZENO Texas Tech guard The seventh-seeded Cowboys (20-11, 6-10) do have neutral site wins against Pittsburgh and Syracuse to their credit, but can't feel confident about their chances after falling all the way from a top 10 ranking in December. "Realistically to leave nothing out there, we've got to win the tournament." Oklahoma State coach Sean Sutton said. "In order to do that, we've got to play four good games. Is it going to be easy? No, but its been done before in other联赛. It hasn't happened in the Big 12." While Kansas State is off Thursday with a first-round bye, Tech will try to pad its win total against a Buffaloes team without second leading scorer Xavier Silas, who was suspended after fighting with Nebraska Ryan Anderson in a game Saturday. Only two of the 15 Big 12 teams that have finished a season with 10 conference wins have been left out of the NCAA tournament. Nebraska missed coach Greg McDermott said. A Colorado loss would make the game the send-off for Ricardo Patton, who won't return for a 12th season as coach of the Buffaloes. "I know that we can't have any slip-ups in this tournament," Jackson said. "We can't lose to Colorado or other teams. We still have to take care of business in this tournament." Other first-round match ups feature six-seeded Missouri against Baylor, eighth-seeded Iowa State against Oklahoma and Oklahoma State against No. 10 seed Nebraska — which built a 29-point lead on its way to an 85-73 win over the Cowboys on Monday. No. 2 Kansas, the tournament's top seed, Texas A&M, the two seed, and Texas also have first-round byes.

Here is a special end-of-season Big 12 Fastbreak, highlighting the conferences best. RAISE YOUR GLASSES TO... KANSAS (27-4, 14-2) The Jayhawks proved they were the best team in the Big 12 the last month of the season. They rebounded from a tough loss to Texas A&M with eight straight victories, including Saturday's come KU from behind victory against Texas. In that game, Kansas was down by as many as 16 points toward the end of the first half before taking the lead early in the second. The lavahawks did this against the best player in the nation, the best point guard in the conference not named Ace Law IV and the best three-point shooting team. Not a bad accomplishment. Kansas is guaranteed a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament if it makes it to the championship game in Oklahoma City this weekend. SEND A CONGRATULATIONS FACEBOOK MESSAGE TO... KEVIN DURANT TEXAS KEVIN DURANT, TEXAS The best col- The best college player since Magic Johnson-period. No one in the Big 12 has ever come close to doing what Durant did this season. He aver I Durant 1 aged 28.9 points and 12.5 rebounds per game to lead the league in both categories. And people seem to forget that he is just a freshman. Imagine what he could be doing next year (even though it's not going to happen). At 6-foot 9 Durant can drive, shoot the three, post up on smaller defenders and defend smaller players. He played at the top of Texas' 3-2 zone last Saturday. It's unfortunate that Durant is stealing the postseason awards from Texas A&M's Acie Law IV, Law had one of the best seasons in Big 12 history, but Durant is a special player who deserves every award. FIRST-TEAM ALL FASTBREAK KEVIN DURANT, TEXAS ACIE LAW JV, TEXAS &M ALEKS MARIC, NEBRASKA CARTER MARTIN, KANSAS STATE JULIAN WRIGHT, KANSAS START A CONVERSATION WITH THESE TOPICS... HE WOULDN'T BE GOOD AT Texas Tech coach Bob Knight became the all-time college basketball ball winner leader this season, but his performances at the Big 12 Coaches Teleconference each week were more memorable. He hung up on reporters three weeks in a row and rarely gave anything more than three word responses. Here are some of his great insight from this week. ON A POSSIBLE ADVANTAGE FOR OKLAHOMA SCHOOLS AT THE BIG 12 TOURNAMENT IN OKLAHOMA CITY "A city's a city; an arena's an arena." ON RPI AND THE CHANCE OF K-STATE AND HIS TEAM NOT MAKING THE NCAA TOURNAMENT "I don't know, who knows. I'm not smart enough to figure that out." BIG 12 RANK are still on the fence when it comes to the NCAA Tournament. In reality, the big 12 is down this year. Texas, Kansas and Texas A&M are all capable of winning the national title, but the level of competition fades greatly after that. Other conferences aren't much better though. The SEC has Florida and a bunch of other teams that are on par with the K-State and Texas Tech. The Big East doesn't have a legitimate national title contender. The Pac-10 is the nation's deepest conference, but only UCLA will get a top three seed. And the ACC is the most overrated. Virginia tied for the conference title and it only beat Puerto Rico Mayaguez by seven this season. Listen to any coach and he'll tell you the league is the best it has ever been and is one of the best in the country. RPI rankings don't agree. That's why K State and Texas Tech KEEP A CLOSE WATCH ON THE RACE FOR IRRELEVANCE... Believe it or not, Colorado actually won another game last weekend and finished 3-13 in Big 12 play. The Big 12 Fastbreak would like to say goodbye to Buffaloes Ricardo Patton. That victory was his last home game. Patton has been at Colorado for 11 years and though he's not John Wooden, he is a better coach than anyone the Buffaloes athletics department will be able to find for that job. YOU PROBABLY SAID 'OH MY GOD' ABOUT.. A lot of things this conference season. Here is a reminder of some of the best. Oklahoma State edges Texas in three overtimes, Nebraska's Aleks Marie scores 41 points against Kansas State, Kevin Durant shoots 5 for 5 from the three point land on his way to 25 first half points against Kansas.

Edited by Mark Vierthaler Playing on neutral ground 》' HORN BORN, 'HAWK BRED In the NCAA tournament, all sorts of strategies are implemented by coaches trying to catch their opponents off guard. That's OK, Kansas will be prepared for it. The Big 12 Conference gave Kansas a wide variety of teams to play, and Kansas proved that it could play anybody's style and still win the game. The Big 12 Tournament will pit Kansas against that same variety, but in a single elimination format on a neutral floor. BY TRAVIS ROBINETT KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST TROBINETT@KANSAN.COM Then Kansas will go against Texas Tech or Kansas State in the third round, unless Colorado In the second round, Kansas will either play against Iowa State or Oklahoma. Both like to slow the pace of the game down by controlling the shot clock to make up for their lack of athleticism. Many mid-major teams will play this way in the NCAA tournament. shocks the world twice. Texas Tech's motion offense would be a great test for Kansas' defense. The layhawks won't run into many that are more efficient than Tech's, Kansas State, on the other hand, lives and dies by the three-point shot. In the final round, Kansas could play Texas, a team focused on one star player. The Longhorns play zone, they are athletic and they like to play fast-paced basketball. Texas A&M could make it. The Aggies play as tough of defense as anyone in the country, and are as well coached as any team in the country. Kansas could use another test from a challenging opponent. And although it's not likely, Kansas could play Missouri, Oklahoma State, Nebraska or Baylor. Missouri will put opponents through 40 minutes of a full-court press. The Tigers play fast on offense too. Oklahoma State is desperate and could make a run. After all the games are in Oklahoma City, which is almost a home game. Oklahoma State or Nebraska would pose similar threats. They each have a challenging low post player. And Baylor? Well, I severely doubt the Bears will win even one game. But it's March, and anybody can beat anybody in March. Robinett is an Austin, Texas, senior in journalism.

YOUNG PHOTOS COURTESY OF COUCHSURFING.COM CouchSurfers explain why staying with strangers is the best way to travel I stood outside of the Termini train station in Rome waiting to be picked up by someone named Matteo in a blue Volkswagen Golf. I passed the time in the rain sainting at every car that passed. I was anxious because I had only seen a picture of Matteo and was worried that we would have trouble recognizing each other. My phone vibrated, announcing a new text message: "i right in front you." I was so nervous that I would miss the car that I failed to see the blue Golf parked two feet away.

FROM PAGE 3 MARCELA GUILLERGO AND DAVID CALIFORNIA Crystal Bock, with her hosts Marion, a juggling teacher, and Frank, whom she stayed with before she found a place to live in Cork, Ireland. Matteo, dressed in a flawless dark blue Italian suit, stepped out of the car with an umbrella for me. We both smiled shyly and kissed each other on the cheek. It was the first time for both of us and we weren't sure what to say or how to act. After a week of e-mails and text messages we had just now met in person. A friend and I were going to sleep at his apartment for the weekend. Our first CouchSurfing experience had begun. The next two days were unforgettable. Matteo, a 30-year-old civil engineer, was our "touristic bus" as he drove my friend and I all over Rome. Our faces were pressed against the windows as he told us about Rome's modern and ancient marvels in his accented English. We ended up staying with his childhood friend Luca, a 30-year-old liver transplant surgeon, because Matteo had an unexpected work conflict. Immediately after we picked up Luca, who had been working and living in London, at the airport, he trusted us with the keys to his one-bedroom apartment. Luca offered us his bed because he would be working at a hospital for 24 hours straight, but my friend and I felt more comfortable sharing the small but comfortable pullout couch. Both mornings, Matteo and Luca called to check in and give us advice on how to see the very best of Rome. When we parted, I knew that I would probably never see either of them again. However, this short visit strengthened my belief that kindness among strangers still exists, despite my parents reaction when I told them I was going to stay with people I met on the internet. The CouchSurfing Project is an online global network that connects travelers who are looking for a place to stay with locals who are willing to provide accommodations for free. As of March 1,2007 the network has more than 174.336registered members in 213 countries. such as location, age, language and gender, and then e-mail the ones they feel compatible with. If the potential host also feels comfortable with the arrangement, then they can make plans to meet face to face. Visits can be as short as a cup of coffee or as long as a few months, but most visits are one or two nights. Unlike social networking sites Members can leave references about people they hosted or stayed with on their profiles. This vouching system AS OF MARCH 1,2007, THE NETWORK HAS MORE THAN 174,336 REGISTERED MEMBERS IN 213 COUNTRIES. This is how it works. Anyone can set up a free online profile that describes who they are, what they do, where they live and whether they are able to host travelers. Surfers, or travelers, can search for available hosts using criteria such as Facebook.com and MySpace.com, which keep members connected online with people they already talk to. CouchSurfing.com is intended to bring complete strangers together offline to create unique bonds that cross cultures and continents. The CouchSurfing motto is "Participate in Creating a Better World, One Couch at a Time." Judging by the more than 38,000 successful surfings and the more than 44,000 friendships created on the site, CouchSurfing is truly changing lives. puts safety and trust into the hands of the CouchSurfing community. A computer programmer in Conway, N. H. named Casey Fenton created the project. Fenton, then an overworked 22-year-old, needed a break and found a cheap, last-minute plane ticket to iceland. Not knowing a soul in the country and with only four days to plan and no place to stay, Fenton hacked into the University of iceland's student directory. He spammed 1,500 students with a message saying he was coming in a few days and wanted to see the real iceland. He received more than 50 replies and ended up spending the weekend sleeping in a garage and partying with newfound friends he has kept to this day. When he returned to the United States he decided that he wanted to travel like that all the time. Creating the network took him four years, but in January 2004, with help from three friends, CouchSurfing.com debuted and the four founders gave members the opportunity to make friends out of strangers while traveling. So members will see that you are serious about the project, put up a picture, fill out the entire profile and make friends, says Justin Montgomery, 2006 graduate. Montgomery had plans with six hosts for his travels in Europe last summer when the CouchSurfing site crashed three days before he was supposed to go. The site was down for a month, from June to July 2006, but it was rebuilt and "CouchSurfing. 2.0" has been stable and fully operational ever since. Montgomery lost all of his contacts and the e-mails he had sent to the hosts and had to start over with the interim CouchSurfing emergency board. Montgomery was lucky enough to connect with two members to host he and his mom in Italy. In Genova, a 27-year-old student hosted Montgomery and his mom for two nights. Both of them had their own rooms and their host cooked them meals that used regional ingredients, he says. In return they cooked a breakfast of eggs, sausage and toast that their host could experience an American meal Montgomery was upset that he wasn't able to CouchSurf during the whole trip as he had planned, but it worked out, he says. After his mom left he continued to travel, met a couple COUCHSURFING STATISTICS Couchsurfers: 174,336 Couchsurfers: 174,336 Successful surfings: 38,000+ Friendships created: 44,000+ Countries represented: 213 Top country; United States Cities represented: 21,215 Top city: Montreal, Quebec, Canada Languages represented: 993 Signups last week: 3,106 Average age:25 Available couches: 136,414 Source: CouchSurfing.com [Image of a black leather sofa with three cushions on it, set against a neutral background with framed pictures hanging on the wall.] [ ] [ ] CENTER 06→ JAYPLAY 03.08.2007 from California in Prague and was invited to stay two nights with them. "You shouldn't just rely on CouchSurfing." Montgomery says. "It makes things easier, but traveling in foreign countries forced me to develop interaction skills and make friends on my own." Jason Palikij, 2006 graduate, says CouchSurfing helped him get around in an unfamiliar environment and let him find out how other cultures perceive him." I never thought of myself as a loud American," Palikij says, "but my Swedish hosts commented that I was very opinionated." Palikij surfed with two couples while in Sweden for an academic conference. He says that having his hosts show him around was much better than a pre-bought package because they took it upon themselves to be his tour guides. Palikij's first hosts took him to IKEA and made sure he found Swedish fish candy after he mentioned how much he enjoyed it in the United States. Eating with them gave him a lot of insight into what it is like to be a native Swede, he says. His hosts made a point of sitting down for meals together and introduced him to open-faced sandwiches, which he makes all the time now, he says. In return for their generosity Palikij brought his hosts wine as a gift and taught them drinking games. "CouchSurfing is not for people who want to mooch." Palkij says, "It's a grassroots form of being a foreign ambassador for your country." As Paliki's experience shows, hosts and surfers both take the exchange personally. The project is not about finding a free place to stay — it's a way of gaining an insider perspective instead of just observing a country and its culture. Hosts let travelers into their homes and take them places they would never be able to find on their own as a regular tourist. Surfers need to be respectful and acknowledge the risk hosts take by inviting them into their daily lives, says Ethan Gilsdorf, a Boston-based freelance writer who is working on a travel anthology that includes CouchSurfing stories. Gilsdorf has hosted people from all over the world. It can be awkward if guests are not outgoing, but he has hit it off with most of his surfers, he says. "There is always the potential for something bizarre to happen," Glidorf says. "You just never know, so you have to take a leap of faith and extend your generosity. It is liberating. In terms of spiritual benefit, by opening your heart and being trusting, you will be rewarded." When he's traveling he's reminded how similar people are all over the world and how easy it is to make a connection, he says. Gilsdorf found CouchSurfing in 2005 when he was looking for a way to cheaply fund a trip through Europe on assignment with the Boston Globe. He CouchSurfed in Iceland and one host took him to her secret hot springs spot. Gilsdorf describes the time they spent sitting in the hot springs under the stars as "one of those perfect moments." The idea of staying with random people you meet is not a new concept. People have been traveling this way references aren't anonymous because they want people to be held accountable for what they say. Mediators settle misunderstandings between members, but Lesage says he can count the number of times that has happened on his fingers. "COUCHSURFING IS NOT FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO MOOCH. IT'S A GRASSROOTS FORM OF BEING A FOREIGN AMBASSADOR FOR YOUR COUNTRY." JASON PALIKIJ, 2006 GRADUATE **Lesage says.** "We don't want troublemakers," Lesage says. "We care a lot about members' safety, but CouchSurfing can't be held accountable. We provide the tools and tips so that we can protect ourselves and other members." traveling with the family, forever, says Eric Lesage, CouchSurfing administrator and media coordinator. However, CouchSurfing broadens the range by giving travelers the opportunity to meet people from different backgrounds instead of having to rely on friends or friends of friends. The CouchSurfing community is unique because people are coming in with the same qualities, such as open-mindedness, trustworthiness and curiosity, and members are the ones participating in and developing the project, he says. CouchSurfing is built on a foundation of trust. Safety tools include a system that lets members vouch for each other and privacy settings that let members adopt user names instead of using their real names. The site provides extensive safety tips for surfers, hosts, women traveling alone and narrower groups such as vegetarians and families. Tips cover the whole surfing experience, from searching for a compatible host to exchanging contact info. This global, tightly knit community spirit is also what makes CouchSurfing so safe. Lesage says. In the project's three years of existence, there have been 96,474 positive experiences of CouchSurfers meeting together face-to-face and fewer than 185 reported negative ones. Most negative experiences are written to be warnings about members who are difficult to get along with or who do not show up when they said they would. CouchSurfing strongly encourages people to leave negative references if needed because they speak about a member's history. Lesage says. References are the quintessential safety precaution because they come from real-life experience. Lesage says Despite the number of overwhelmingly positive experiences, havinganexperience that doesn't fulfill expectations is always a possibility. People who want to be part of the CouchSurfing community have to be willing to take that risk, says Bill Staples, professor of sociology. "It's important to be aware," Staples says. "The Internet has the potential to link people and build a network based on common interests, but it will only work as well as the community decides it will." CouchSurfing.com members need to decide how far they want to put themselves out there, says Staples, the author of three books on surveillance. The problem with most social networking sites is people don't always have control over their information and who can see it, he says. Member profiles on the CouchSurfing Web site are available for anyone with Internet access to see. Nonmembers can look through any of the content on the site, but they aren't able to contact members, participate in chats or post any material. Members contact each other by sending e-mail through the CouchSurfing interface and do not get a member's contact information unless he or she decides to give it out. For safety purposes, CouchSurfing monitors and records all communication sent through the site. The amount of personal information members want to post is entirely voluntary, but profiles show when and where the member last signed in unless the member changes his or her privacy settings. These safety features exist to help members, but unless members inform themselves about how to change their privacy settings, they may not be getting the amount of privacy they want. Crystal Bock, a 25-year-old Lawrenceburg, Mo., resident, has been a surfer since 2004 and says it's important that people trust and listen to themselves. She has to defend her decision to travel alone to Americans she encounters, but Europeans think nothing of it, she says. Bock thinks that solitary travelers are embraced more in Europe because the cultures and languages are so smashed together there that it's not weird to be traveling alone. People put themselves in more danger driving somewhere than doing anything else, she says. Bock remembers one hosting her that when she came out of the CouchSurfing closet to her mom, her mom cried and refused to accept it. Her mom kept telling her,"I wish you would quit staying with strangers." However, in the CouchSurfing community, strangers feel more like friends. Bock is getting married in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, in the fall and had been consulting with a wedding planner there. For several months they exchanged polite businesslike e-mails until Bock looked up hosts in the area and saw her wedding planner listed. Since both found out they were CouchSurfers, they have changed their opinions of one another."I feel like I know her already."Bock says. Besides changing the way she sees people, CouchSurfing has changed the way she travels, Bock says. Before, she focused on what she could see when she traveled, but now she focuses on whom she can meet and what adventures they can have together. A few of Bock's more unusual experiences have been staying with a juggler/butter museum employee, sleeping in a storage unit because her host was in the process of moving, and dancing in the rain in front of the Alamo at 2 a.m. She says that with CouchSurfing you get to experience so much more than the average tourist. the average tourist. "I think it's weird to pay $100 to sleep alone or even$ 15 to bunk with other people," Bock says. "A CouchSurfers, we're staying in an actual home and getting a friend who tells us 'go here, don't go here.' We're normal. They're the weird ones." Since my initial experience in Rome, I've had three more unforgettable CouchSurfing experiences. I knew enough Italian to travel by myself in italy, but I didn't know any of the languages in the other countries I CouchSurfed in I felt a little helpless and uncomfortable having to rely on a stranger to translate and provide for me. However, relying on my hosts gave me local insight I never would have had with a tour guide. In Berlin, our host, Chris, a 28-year-old with a Master of Science degree, taught my friend and I to cheat the train system by telling us how to avoid the ticket officers. In Brussels, my host, Ziggy, a 40-year old painter, took me to the best Belgian chocolate shop and made sure I didn't get ripped off when buying gifts for my family. In Namur, Belgium, my hosts, Julien, a 23-year-old astronomy researcher, and Aline, a 23-year-old student, introduced me to Belgian beer and took me to their favorite hole-in-the-wall fry stand. I may have done the dishes, slept on mattresses on the floor and had to adapt to someone else's schedule during my vacations, but staying with locals more than made up for any inconveniences I experienced. Without my hosts' guidance, I probably would have let the language barrier keep me from trying anything that wasn't tourism and harmless. As for Matteo, who I thought I would never see again, he recently wrote me an e-mail titled "USA now!" He was traveling in the United States for business and he wanted to try and meet up. We were unable to get together, but the next day a CouchSurfer named Cesar, who is walking around the world, sent me an e-mail inquiring if my couch had a vacancy this weekend. I hope I will get the chance to repay the generosity I have received by letting Cesar into my own little world in Lawrence the way my hosts did for me in their cities.

So you can flirt all you want, kiss him, ask him out, but if he's into his lady, he'll refuse you every time. But you're being disrespectful if you do anything more than talk or flirt a little. If he doesn't pursue you, then you're crossing the line. He doesn't ask for your number? Well. then, don't offer it. Remember the Golden Rule: Treat others as you want to be treated.

Mele took one glance at the man and rolled back over. For Mele, Miami sophomore, failed pick-up attempts like this are nothing unusual. She says that Miami is the flirt capital of the world and every day is like spring break. "Someone is always yelling at you to pull your car over. Once a guy even asked me to try on some shorts for him," Mele says. Flirting is only natural, and without it life would be a bore. But mix flirting with a beach, alcohol, whip cream and Usher's "Yeah" and you get spring break. David Weiss, Olathe senior, says that spring break is the easiest time to flirt because of the warm weather and the multitude of bikinis. Being with friends also helps, he says, because they can help convince a girl to hang out. Spring break is the one time of year when inhibitions are left behind. But before you take the plunge and board a plane to Mexico, understand the difference between flirting and seducing.

It can be dated back to Shakespearean times when women used to drop their handkerchiefs to gain the attention of men. Since then, the art of flirting has changed. Despite what many may think, flirting is not about getting someone to jump in the sack — that's called seduction. "Flirting should be natural, and it's best when it happens unexpectedly," Rabin says. "It has nothing to do with sex." When Hillary Stroda, Chapman senior, went to Acapulco last year, she didn't intend to meet someone or have a spring breakfling. Intoxicated guys wanted to hook up but she passed on their offers, she says. When she spotted a group of older men who were not trying to seduce her, she was relieved. "It was refreshing. They weren't trying to go us or take us home," Stroda says. She began talking to one of the guys but never ex p e c t e d anything to come of the conversation — he was from California and Stroda RULES FOR SMILING from Kansas. She says they continued to run into each other on the trip and now, a year later, they are dating. - Pick a safe place - Test-drive some different smiles on your friends The fine art of seduction But before heading off to your spring break destination, think about the motive behind your smile: Are you trying to seduce or to flirt? Practice in the mirror Check your attitude Smile at five people a day Source: Susan Rabin If you plan on going with a motive to seduce,you should Having good conversational skills and a warm smile are the best ways to flirt, Rabin says. Both qualities are subtle, not too aggressive and can lead to long-term relationships. think of the consequences. There are conditions to be aware of before you make your move, says Omri Gillath, assistant professor of psychology. First, know your personality. Are you very liberal? Do you have a lot of sexual experience? Second, evaluate the environment you in. If you have a lot of sexual experience and are on spring break, you might come on too strong and wake up next to someone you don't know, he says."If you shouldn't drink and drive, then maybe you shouldn't drink and flirt; Gillath says. Before putting your game face on, think about the message you want to send. A simple smile can go a long way, but if you want to take someone to bed with you there's no need to flirt, Rabin says. "All you need to do is lean over in your bikini." THE THREE 'A's OF FLIRTING Attitude: Believe that it's OK to flirt. → Approach: Think about your approach and how you'll be approached by others. Are you going to lean in or stroke your hair? Action: Don't wait, just do it. If you wait too long to talk to someone, they might leave before you work up the nerve.

Take a look at where to eat, where to stay, what to see and where to avoid if you're headed out. Take note, spring breakers, freedom is almost here. By Jennifer Denny TREASURED TO BE OUTSIDE OF THIS WORLD! Destination: Los Angeles Miles away: 1,322 Tour Guide: Tiffany Jones, sophomore P During the day While visiting the Golden State, be sure to take in the restaurants, shopping, and surf at Venice Beach, Jones says. It's a warm, sunny beach, and artists and street performers give it a funky atmosphere. And if you're looking to spend money on a new wardrobe, check out Melrose Avenue to score some designer duds from Fred Segal, Von Dutch or Agent Provocateur. Grab a bite Miyagi's & Co Inc., 8225 W. Sunset Blvd., serves up great sushi and Japanese if you get hungry lugging all your purchases around town. If you have breath mints handy, Jones says students should eat at The Stinking Rose, where all items on the menu have one thing in common: garlic. But if dessert is all you crave, head directly to Islands Restaurant, where Jones' mouth waters just thinking about the divine desserts served at the Hawaiian-themed restaurant, such as the Chocolate Lava — a fudge brownie topped with vanilla ice cream, chocolate syrup, whipped cream, roasted almonds and a cherry. Evening events If you're looking for entertainment after dusk, head to Sunset Boulevard, where you can find clubs like the House of Blues and the Viper Room that are frequented by Hollywood stars. "It's just one big party/traffic jam, but everyone is nice and talking to each other. It's fun," Jones says. Words of advice Jones warns spring breakers to steer clear of Travelodges. "It will look good on the Internet, but once you get there, it's not so good," she says. Instead, spend the extra cash to stay at a big hotel, such as the Hilton Checkers Los Angeles, 535 South Grand Avenue. Some of the cheaper hotels are in bad areas of the city, so spring breakers should be careful, Jones says. Destination: Nassau, the Bahamas Miles away: 1,412 Tour Guide: Anthon Bowleg, senior Hot Spots Don't miss out on the island culture if you're traveling this far. Bowlegs suggests visitors stop by Cafe Johnny Canoe Restaurant in the Nassau Beach Hotel, a casual place to enjoy live authentic Bahamian and calypso music while devouring everything from grilled mahi mahi to a grouper fillet, a Bahamian classic.

Stay safe Be aware of your surroundings when visiting this spring break destination. Be mindful of the taxis you hail outside the airport or hotels, because some scam artists will try to lure you into their vehicles and then charge you an outrageous fee. "It's better than Jamaica, but not 100-percent safe," Bowleg says. Also, feel free to venture out during the day, but be extra careful if you decide to embark on a nighttime journey.

Not only can spring breakers drive onto the beach, they can also spend their days playing volleyball, surfing and swimming, or grilling up a little Texas barbecue. Good eats If you work up an appetite while lying on the beach, try Snoopy's Pier. Party time 13313 S.Padre Island Drive, where they serve up fresh seafood and cold beer in a great atmosphere, Cook says. But if it's Mexican food you crave, don't be afraid to try one of the more than 50 hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurants, she says. Jessica B. When looking for a popular place to party the night away, head to Dead-Eye Dicks, 305 N. Chaparral St., if you've got your cowboy boots on, or Stingers, 301 N. Chaparral St., if hip-hop and dance music is more your style. You only have to be 18 to enter, and both bars have nightly drink specials. If you have the extra cash to drop on an evening out, Cook suggests going out for drinks at the Havana Club, or 21.317 N. Mesquite St., which are a little more expensive, but also more exclusive. Besides these bars, Cook recommends students look for bars on the south side of the city, which attracts a younger crowd than other areas."The north side is kind of trashy It's trying to be a resort destination, but it's not great. You can find better restaurants on the other beach," Cook says. The morning after, Cook says visitors should try Elva's Restaurant for $1.75 breakfast tacos. "It doesn't really sound appetizing, but we loved them in high school," Cook says. Roadtrip The drive down to Corpus is fun if you take advantage of all the cities along the way, including Dallas. Austin and San Antonio, so be sure to stop and enjoy all Texas has to offer. Although Corpus Christi offers plenty to keep you busy, Cook suggests a side trip to Port Aransas if you want to get away from getting away. Only 45 minutes away, the city caters to tourists and is situated right on the Gulf of Mexico. There you can enjoy more seafood and beautiful sites. Destination: Denver Miles away: 525 Tour Guide: Katia Birge, senior Wine and dine For being located in the heartland of the United States, Denver is not short of exciting places to take in different cultures. "LoDo,"short for Lower Downtown, is full of restaurants and dance halls. The Denver Pavilions offers a little bit of everything to visitors: upscale stores, delicious restaurants and even flamenco dancing, Birge says. If you're adventurous enough to taste some new cultures, try Buenos Aires Pizzeria, which is not as strange as it sounds. Another tastyrestaurantBirgerecommends is Mexico City, "It's not fancy, but it's really good food," she says. On the town If you're looking to dance off the scrumptious food you just consumed, head to La Rumba, a hot night club with different tunes every night and a cheap cover. Out of town Birge warns that the hotels located in the heart of Denver might break your budget, so instead she suggests staying in a cheap hotel on the south side of town and taking the light rail, which operates 24 hours a day, to get to your destinations. Take it easy Denver is full of night life, but if you want to take it slow, check out the many history and art museums, or take a tour of Coors Field where the Colorado Rockies baseball team plays. But if you're a fan of the cool weather, you could always bundle up and find a snow-covered hill to sled down, a favorite pastime of Birge. TOURIST Destination: New York City Miles away: 1,131 Tour Guide: Adam Sechrist, 2006 alum PETER MORRIS Don't skip out on a walk through Central Park, Sechrist says. Or detour over to his favorite recreational area, Riverside Park. "It's a really cool park. It's different. It's next to the Hudson River. It's a place to walk, jog and chill. There are a couple bars there, too," he says. While you're near Central Park, check out The Boathouse, East 72nd St. & Park Drive North, a bar and grill right next to the lake where you can watch gondolas drift by, or even rent one yourself. Feeding your appetite Taking in the scenery The nightlife If youre looking for a great place to enjoy the city that never sleeps. You might be in the northeast, but if you're looking for some good Creole food, try Delta Grill, 700 9th Avenue, which serves giant portions of jambalaya and chicken gumbo. Or if you're craving Kansas City's favorite food, chow down on some barbeque at Brother Jimmy's BBQ, 1485 2nd Ave., where you can find a special on buffalo wings any night of the week. go to Mercury Bar, 659 Ninth Ave., which is always a good place to party, Sechrist says. "The bartenders walk on the bar and it's the same type of feel that you get at the Sandbar in Lawrence. It's a college bar," he says. Or try Croabar, 530 West 28th St., if you want a nightclub. "It's a big-time party bar," Sechrist says. Show time Plan on seeing a Broadway show such as Hairspray or Wicked while visiting. Sechrist suggest going to the KTKS Booth at 47th and Broadway, because they offer a 50 percent discount for shows before 3 p.m. Before you leave the Big Apple, do all the tourist stuff too. Sechrist says. You should pick up a guide book and plan on seeing the World Trade Center Memorial and Rockefeller Center, where you can ride to the top of the 70-story building and see for miles in every direction. "The lines are shorter than the Empire State Building," he says. "The tickets are cheaper and the view is better."

The 60-minute strength training and toning class is divided into 10 songs, each choreographed to challenge and strengthen a distinct muscle group. The muscles: In addition to warm-up and cool-down tracks, a typical BODY PUMP class is divided into songs that specifically target the legs, chest, back, triceps, biceps, legs, shoulders or abdominals. Each six-minute track varies the tempo and weight you're lifting, but the constant repetition is what makes each area-specific exercise so intense, says Tracey English, marketing and wellness director and group fitness instructor at Body Boutique, 2330 Yale Road, a BODY PUMP class provider. The results: Les Mills' research reports that you can burn up to 473 calories per class, depending on the amount of weight you elect to lift for each track, English says. The intense strengthening and toning provided by BODY PUMP helps build lean muscle mass, she says, which is a necessary — and often overlooked — component in changing your body shape and losing weight. The class: Every six weeks Les Mills selects 10 new songs and re-choreographs each body area-specific track before teaching the new routine to fitness instructors. Currently, Body Boutique, a women's health and fitness spa, is the sole Lawrence facility offering BODY PUMP instruction To participate in the class you must either become a member of the facility — student discount rates are available — or purchase a day pass for $6. Elyse Weidner With spring break just a week away, get ready to shave your leg or chest hair before baring it all on the beach. Before you do so, remember to exfoliate your skin before you rip or cut any hairs. Slough off dead skin cells by gently rubbing yourself down with a wet loofah sponge in the shower.

In the four years the Kansas City, Kan-based indie-pop band has been together, it has played hundreds of shows and its members have eaten just as many truck stop meals along the way. the way. Last year Distance to Empty played 150 shows on six different tours across the Midwest and eastern United States to promote the release of its second album, Relaxitement. Distance to Empty is recording a new album to be released next year and preparing for another tour in the western United States. Bass guitarist Kyle Akers took a break from the band's busy schedule to talk about ice cream sandwiches, sea monsters and more. TOURS LAST YEAR We lived out of a 1996 Chevy Astro van.it was a unique experience — we slept in it at truck stops. Q: HOW DID YOU TRAVEL FOR YOUR TOURS LAST YEAR? Q: WHAT WAS THE FOOD LIKE AT ALL THOSE TRUCK STOPS? THOSE TRUCK STOPS I bought an ice cream bar out of a vending machine at one. Who knows how long it had been there. it was all frostbitten. We usually try to bring some canned goods with us on the road. Q: HOW FAR FROM HOME HAVE YOU DRIVEN FOR A SHOW? We drove all the way to Boston once. Q: WHERE IS THE WEIRDEST PLACE YOU'VE EVER PLAYED? You've ever played We played at this museum in Vermont run by this eccentric guy who believed it should sort of be a museum of everything. There were old bones that were supposed to be from a sea monster and dried up cats. We played an acoustic set next to a skeleton that was floating in an aquarium. We also met a homeless guy who talked to us about cooking raccoon and how it's a three-step process. Q: WHAT WAS ONE OF YOUR FAVORITE DISTANCE TO EMPTY SHOWS? Playing on a side stage at the Rilo Kiley and Coldplay concert at Sandstone. INSPIRATION: Our singer is really influenced by Frank Sinatra. Our guitar player listens to really indie stuff and I've been into '70s funk recently.I think the fact that everyone listens to different music helps with balance.

GI CI 14 ⇒ JAYPLAY 03.08.2007 Matt Elder GRAD CHECK Kurt Bausch Year: 1972 Degree: Aerospace Engineering Hometown: Kirkwood, Mo. Back in the day: Bausch had planned to go to law school until he made the switch to aerospace engineering during his sophomore year. Because the University of Missouri didn't offer an aerospace engineering degree, Bausch was eligible for in-state tuition at KU. It was "study, study, study" as an engineering major, Bausch says, but he also found time for extracurricular activities. As an intramural athlete, he played football in the fall, basketball in the winter and softball in the spring. He even caught the winning touchdown pass in the 1972 intramural football championship game. The grad life: After graduating in December 1972, Bausch worked at the Granada Theater, 1020 Massachusetts St., showing movies and making popcorn for $1.50 an hour. At the time, aerospace engineers were in extremely low demand, Bausch says. Then, he received a letter one day in late January 1973 that changed his life. A department head at the aerospace manufacturer McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) in St.Louis wanted to interview him. Bausch borrowed his roommate's car and drove to St. Louis; less than two months later, Bausch was an aerospace engineer at the company making $225 per week. Today: This month marks Bausch's 34th year at Boeing. As a chief engineer, he assists program managers with technical decisions. Whether you're singin' along, groovin' by yourself or just studying in the library, we'll catch you with the MUSIC THAT MOVES YOU He says: "Learning how to be independent and how to think on your own, those life lessons are almost as important, if not more important, than your degree.

To obtain a passport, you need a birth certificate (a certified copy) from the state, not the hospital, passport photos and a driver's license, says Pam Brown at the Lawrence post office, 645 Vermont St. Passports cost $97 and are valid for 10 years. You can have passport photos taken at the post office for$ 15. WEE JAYPLAY 03.08.2007 Two to four weeks before: Get vaccinated if you're traveling outside the U.S. plan at least two to four weeks ahead of time to be vaccinated, says DeeAnne Schoenfeld of the Douglas County Health Department. Country If you're traveling to sub- Saharan Africa or tropical South America, a yellow fever vaccine (581) is required. If you're traveling to Africa, Asia, the Mediterranean basin, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Mexico, parts of the Caribbean, Central America or South America, a Hepatitis A vaccine (S33) is recommended. If you're traveling to Asia, Africa the Caribbean, Central America or South America, a typhoid vaccine (S52) is recommended. If you're traveling to the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe or South America, you might want to have your doctor prescribe tablets to prevent malaria (S50). 15 20 30 At least a week before: Request time off work Request time off work as soon as possible — the earlier the better — says Scott McDonald, manager at Zig & Mac's Bar and Grill, 1540 Wakarusa Drive. The first day McDonald brought in the 2007 calendar, employees were requesting time off for spring break, he says. spring break, he says. However, he says, a request off is just that — a request "College kids don't realize a business doesn't close over spring break," he says. McDonald said he had to hire staff for spring break, so there will be fewer shifts available when students return. Make sure you have extra contact lenses If you wear contacts or glasses, make sure you have a backup, pair so your eyesight won't be the reason your vacation is blurry. Some stores may have contacts in stock but others will have to order them, which can take up to a week, says John Harvat, optometrist at Eye Doctors Optometrists, 2600 Iowa St. Also, airlines will only let you carry a bottle of solution 4 ounces or smaller on board, which you can get from your optometrist. Start packing a week before your trip, because you're going to discover a spot on your favorite blouse or a hem that needs to be sewn, says Marybeth Bond, author of 50 Best Girlfriend Getaways in North America. Start packing You should also allow yourself time to get to the drugsstore to buy travel-sized shampoo and other products. Wear the same pants more than once during your trip, bring clothes that can be washed and wear your heaviest shoes on the plane, Bond says. Also, be aware of new carry-on restrictions, including a 4-ounce limit on liquids, she says. Four days before: Buy new makeup Because you're likely to get a few shades darker on vacation, anticipate the change in skin color and buy a new foundation one to two shades darker, says Kathyleen Ellsworth, beauty consultant at Weaver's, 901 Massachusetts St. If you don't wear foundation, try a darker powder or bronzer. Make sure to test your makeup before you leave so your skin doesn't break out, she says. SEAN LEE DING GOOD STU HEALTH WHAT NOT TO DO Don't overindulge "Pick and choose wisely. Most of us can't handle very many extras in our diet," says Gina Fina, owner of Perfect Balance Weight Management, 935 lowa St. Eat fruits, vegetables and proteins first, then decide on a little something extra, she says. Then get some physical activity. And remember, a mixed drink with an umbrella contains 500 calories, on average, she says. Don't crash diet If your beach body still isn't up to par, crash dieting is not the answer. It will deplete you energy storage and your body will store more of the calories you ingest as fat, says Renee Horinek, a personal trainer at Body Boutique, 2330 Yale Road. Depending on your current fitness level, she recommends doing 45 minutes to an hour of cardio and engaging in a low-impact full-body weight-training routine four to five time a week. V Don't go tanning "What they're saying is I'm going to go damage my skin before I go on spring break," says Dr. Lee Bittenbender of the Dermatology Center of Lawrence, 930 Iowa St. "If your skin is tanned, by definition, it's damaged," he says. People with sun-damaged skin look older and more wrinkled, and have uneven pigment, less elasticity and pre-cancerous changes, he says. If you want to look as good as you can for as long as you can, he says, protect your body from the sun by using sunscreen and wearing a shirt or hat in the middle of the day, when the sun is at its strongest. Don't forget spring break is exactly that — a break. Three days before: Get your hair did Practice good sleep hygiene, moderation and stay hydrated, says Cathy Thrasher, clinical support services coordinator at Watkins Memorial Health Center. Don't have too much fun on spring break and come back exhausted, she says. If you have horrible roots, the sun will only make them look worse, says Jessica Walker at Avanti Salon, 1540 Wakarusa Drive. So if you want to look good on spring break, get your hair done a few days before, just in case you're not happy with the result and want to have it fixed. For women, bobs, bangs and body take the cake this season. Walker says, and men are going for a shorter look. As always, highlights are back for spring and summer. Two days before: Confirm your vacation plans Reconfirm all of your trip arrangements 24 to 48 hours in advance, says John Novotny, travel agent at Travellers, B31 Massachusetts St. If you used an on-campus representative to plan your vacation, Novotny says to ask what type of security deposit is due when you check in and about the process of checking out. It also always a good idea to have contact information for each component of your trip (transportation, hotel, etc). Novotny says. Get waxed The day before: "Your skin is the largest organ of your body; one of the major functions is excretion," says Serena Teopaco, esthetician at Lada Salon & Spa, 4931 W. Sixth St., "Whatever we don't get out by going to the bathroom, we get out through the skin." If that isn't reason enough to exfoliate, the process also helps with circulation, speeds up cell turnover and help lotions (especially sunless tanners) penetrate the skin, Teopaco says. She recommends the Aveda Smoothing Body Polish ($22), which features ground-up walnut shells instead of harsh salts to gently slough off dead skin. Make your waxing appointment at least two days before you leave, because you don't want to go in the sun for 24 to 48 hours afterwards, says Sally Bremenkamp, esthetician at Color Hair, Spa and Retail Studio, 2330 Yale Road. Waxing is a great way to go for spring break, she says, because you won't have to remember to pack a razor. The hair being waxed needs to be at least a quarter of an inch long, but if it's much longer, trim it before you come. Exfoliate you skin Go (sunless) tanning Unless you've been living under a rock, you know the sun is bad for you. Luckily, there's an alternative: Mystic Tan. Mystic Tan is a UV-free spray application of sunless tanner that eliminates the possibility of human error, says Mary Ellen Hall, owner of Jamaica Tan, 1540 Wakarusa Drive. Unlike conventional tanning, the results are almost immediate. A single session, which lasts up to a week, is $31, but if you're a first-time, it's only$ 14.95.

Dani Hurst WHAT it's LIKE TO BE A KATRINA VOLUNTEER THE RECOVERY WORKSHOP BROOKLYN HILL MUNICIPAL CITY REFORTS AND BUILDING CORPS Spring break is a time to go on vacation, get that much needed tan and relax under the sun. But for Laura Holzman and Sara Koven, 2006 graduates, spring break involved much more than that — it changed their lives. In 2006, Holzman and Koven spent spring break in Gulfport, Miss. They went with a group of nine KU students with the Jewish campus organization Hillel to help Hurricane Katrina victims rebuild their roofs. Though the trip was seven months after the disaster, the town was still completely leveled. "It's really different seeing a tragedy like that firsthand," Holzman says, "I don't think anything prepares you for what you see there." For Koven, the worst part was realizing the number of deaths in Gulfport. "When we went to various houses to check if they were damaged, there was a number on each home that represented the number of casualties from that home," Koven says. "It was crazy to see how many people had lost their lives." Holzman and Koven rebuilt roofs, demolished homes that could not be saved and built shacks from the ground up during their five-day trip. "The whole experience is completely humbling."Koven says."We really realized how important time is and how important things we take for granted are." Laura Evers Time for some good food?

JETLAG Lounge 6th & FLORIDA The Zodiac MOVIE Balancing the fine line between historical accuracy and creative interpretation is what makes a film based on a true story tough to pull off. Stick too hard to the facts and it's dull and unimaginative; give artistic license free reign and it's unrealistic. Better call director David Fincher (Fight Club, Alien 3) the tightept walker, because Zodiac performs the stunt impceccably. Fincher is able to retain a factual loyalty to the specifics of the unsolved serial killer case, while infusing the movie with an aesthetic style that pays homage to its genre's noir roots.

Unfolding primarily in a 1970s San Francisco that is as visually convincing as Paul Thomas Anderson's portrayal of the 1980s San Fernando Valley in Boogie Nights, Zodiac follows the city's police department and San Francisco Chronicle reporters on their investigation of the anonymous Zodiac killer, whose systematic murders and threatening demands for media attention have put northern California into a state of shock. But when the Zodiac goes on hiatus and the most promising leads fizzle out, the media and police turn their heads to the next buzz-worthy happening, leaving the dedicated Chronicle cartoonist Robert Graysmith (Jake Gyllenhaal) alone in his emotional involvement in the dangerous pursuit. Unlike the fragmented, ego-driven search for the killer, Zodiac thrives, thanks to a concerted acting effort. It's still early, but don't be surprised if Robert Downey Jr. picks up a best supporting actor nomination for his self-reseARCHED role as a renowned columnist who suffers a drug-induced downfall. A classic rock soundtrack featuring Santana, Sly and the Family Stone and Three Dog Night serves as an added bonus to what is, alongside Children of Men, one of the most cinematically complete films so far this calendar year.

BAR MANKUTS RIVER GIRL Jennifer Denny takes a shot with her father as part of an alcohol-filled night with friends and family in Las Vegas. The next morning, Denny boards a plane and heads back home. When you leave Sin City, the hangover goes with you I sit hunched over in my blue-plaid Southwest Airlines seat, staring at my Birkensocks and hoping I can hold down the contents of my stomach for a few more tormenting minutes until the pilot turns off the seatbelt sign above my seat, 23 C. The pilot taxis down the runway and, to my incredible dismay, a 737 at the end of the runway awaits its turn for takeoff. My head pounds and my eyes water through my tightly shut elids while my stomach does brisk jumping jacks inside my chest. I want solid ground, not two-and-a-half hours tucked into an aisle seat. I don't know what made me think I was invincible the previous night while drinking five mixed drinks and a tequila shot, but I certainly experienced the wrath of the hangover the following painful morning when I woke up in my Las Vegas hotel room. I went to Las Vegas in February to celebrate my 21st birthday with my parents, their best friends, my grandma and friends from school. I had successfully monitored my daily drink intake during the fourday trip, because, as my friends know, I'm the world's biggest lightweight when it comes to alcohol consumption. But on my last night, I wanted to go out with a bang. The evening began at the Tropicana Hotel bar where I redeemed a coupon for two free drinks. As I slipped my Sex on the Beach cocktails, I wandered around the casino floor, but after losing my birthday money, he headed back to find my parents at the bar. I pleaded with my dad to take a shot with me. He picked tequila. I begged for something else, but since Dad never changes his mind, the bartender set down two large glasses of Patron. The by Jennifer Denny others cheered as I winced and tossed back my shot, my dad laughing the whole time. Once the burning stopped, I decided it was time to find another bar and Dad decided it was time for him to disappear. Minutes later my mom, grandma and two friends found a seat in a lush bar in the center of the MGM Grand where I ordered some champagne. The bar closed early, at 11:30 p.m. I swallowed the last of my drink and we headed to the New York New York hotel. A club promoter standing outside the hotel doors offered me two passes into the Coyote Ugly bar, which I quickly grabbed. When my mom realized what they were, she sent me staggering back out the doors to take more. Soon after, I was standing in Coyote Ugly trying to ignore my mother's requests for me to climb on the bar with the gyrating female bartender. The alcohol got the better of me and I high-heeled my way up the steps onto the worn wooden stage. I swallowed shots of warm cherry liquor while dancing to a country song with the two other women on stage; my grandma watched from below. I finally clambered down and started chatting up a young stranger standing nearby who spoke with a heavy German accent. He offered to buy me more drinks, so I followed him to the bar where I downed another Sex on the Beach and a Sprite mixed with Jagermeister. Next thing I knew I was making out with him in a dimly lit area, trying to hide myself from the rest of my group standing on the other side of the bar. After a few minutes of this indecent behavior, my friend walked over, grabbed my hands and led me out of the bar back to our room. I giggled between hiccups the whole way there. I downed a bottle of water and a handful of cereal and plunged into my bed. The water did little to make waking up easier the next morning. In the 90 minutes it took me to untangle myself from the hotel sheets,throw my scattered belongings into an oversized suitcase and make myself look decent enough to still be loved by my grandmother,my dinner came up —twice. I said goodbye to my parents and their friends, who were staying two more days, and 90 minutes later I had puked twice more in the public restroom in the airport. Thirty minutes later, it happened on the plane. I visited the bathroom at least five more times during the flight. Each trip began with a quick glance at my worried grandmother sitting next to me, followed by a 20-foot scuttle to the rear of the plane. Once safely latched inside the restroom, I'd squat in front of the toilet seat, with the cold plastic wall pressed against my back, and the stench of past passengers' visits to the same space wafting around my throbbing head. I eventually fell asleep on the flight and woke up only when the pilot interrupted my slumber by announcing our arrival to the snowy Kansas City area and to bitter, sobering reality.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 Maurie Black from The HomeTeam Inspection services said the primary job of a home inspector is to check the major structural and mechanical systems of the house such as the roof, the heating and cooling systems, the plumbing system and all electrical appliances. The kitchen appliances are checked to ensure that they are in excellent working order and that their power sources are operational, but the checking is only visual. Home inspectors do not check the efficiency of appliances. If needed, an electrician or a mechanic can conduct all the detailed checking. The average cost is $329 for a basic house inspection and$ 299 for a condominium or an apartment. The average cost is $329 for a basic house inspection and$ 299 for a condominium or an apartment. Kenneth Click from Prospection also added that they make it a point to check the foundations, the grading around the foundations, the sidewalks and the driveways for any irregularities such as holes or cracks. The guttering, the garage door and the door opener are also scrutinized for defects and they ensure that there are no flaws in the walls, doors and switches. They also check the appliances that come along with the house to confirm that they operate well and are safe to use. Any problems or defects are written up and reported to the owner or the buyer of the house. Prospection charges $300 for a home inspection. When you're walking through your prospective home for next year, don't forget to consider all of the potential problems, and if you're going to going to sign the contract, make sure you have a plan for maintenance problems, whether it's an agreement with the management company, or a savings account to pay for repairs yourself.

"We told them about it in August. There is a crack in it, and the whole frame needs to be taken out, but all they have done is quick, easy repairs that really do not solve the problem," she said. Mallua said that she feels safer now than she did before, but at first when the door was not locking properly, she definitely felt more secure in her parents' home. More information can be found in the The Kansas Landlord Tenant Act http://www.kshousingcorp.org/display/files/htccman_14_krlta.pdf Mallula is not the only person who has had various problems with her landlord. Complaints like hers caused the Kansas Housing Resources Cooperation to create the Kansas Landlord Tenant Act. However, as demonstrated through Kate Mallula, it is important for tenants to realize that the Act was not created solely to provide tenants protection against landlord negligence but also to protect landlords from lawsuits. For instance, the Act allows companies like First Management to place clauses in their leases like "The lessee agrees to look solely to the public police for security protection." Therefore, First Management is not obligated to respond to Mallula's CONTINUED ON PAGE 10 In the heart of downtown Eastview 1025 Mississippi Hanover 200 Hanover Place Woodward 611 Michigan Other properties downtown: 919 Mass.

Similarly, there is no specification in the Act concerning the amount of time a leasing company has to respond to work orders. "We try to respond within the very first day . . . but it's a 'good faith effort," said Heidi, assistant manager of First Management's Lawrence office. First Management is not the only apartment leasing company that takes advantage of the protections provided to landlords by the Act. The Reserve has similar clauses in its lease as well. However, unlike Chase Court, the Reserve provides a security patrol. While Megan Harrod, Tuckaway Property manager, describes the Act itself as "long and hairy," she also recommends that all tenants "get a copy of their lease from their leasing complex." Harrod went on to say, "leases are going to differ, rules are going to differ." She also advises prospective tenants to "ask anything and everything. Don't worry about being a burden. [Apartment complex managers] should do their job and answer questions." Jackie Ferraro, The Reserve's leasing and marketing manager, said that most Reserve tenants seemed to be unaware of the complex's strict rule on animals. "On our property pets are not even allowed to visit and tenants do not realize this until they are fined," he said. Mallula is not the only tenant who is unaware of all the protections granted to her leasing company in her lease. Nate Sito, Rocklin, Calif., junior, admitted that he was not aware that the previously stated complaints among other clauses were addressed in his lease. Other clauses in The Reserve's lease allow the company to relocate any member of an apartment to another apartment in the community within five days written notice and state that the Reserve is not liable if any person in the apartment lies on documentation, which might be of concern to residents because The Reserve apartments are mostly pot-luck. Besides reading their lease carefully and asking questions, Harrod advises lessees to, "get the name of the person who helped you, then when you have trouble you know who to ask for."

Signing the lease to a new apartment is a decision students shouldn't rush. It may be tempting to just sign the lease and get the keys, but taking the extra time to carefully read over the lease may save students a lot of headaches — and valuable money — in the future. "You should always read and understand what you're signing prior to signing it," Shannon Rigney, property manager at West Hills Apartments, 1012 Emery Road, said. Reading the legal jargon of a lease can be a challenge for many students, but the attorneys at Legal Services for Students offer free counsel. Make an appointment by calling 864-5665 or going to their office at room 312 in the Burge Union. Jo Hardesty, director and managing attorney for LSS, says not many students come in with leases to look over.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 13 problem renting before, so they're probably like, 'Why? There's no big deal,' " Hardesty said, "Some leases can be pretty straightforward, and if students have rented before, they're more savvy. It's the first-time renters that get into more trouble." One reason students may refrain from asking for an attorney's help is the fear of causing conflict with their new landlord. Hardesty said there was nothing wrong with asking the landlord for a blank lease. "If the landlord doesn't want to give you a blank lease so that you can go home and read it or have someone look at it, then they have a problem," Hardesty said. "What are they trying to hide?" Many properties in Lawrence offer blank leases. For example, Legends Place, 4101 W. $24^{\mathrm{th}}$ Place, has a sample contract available on its Web site at www.thelegendsatku.com. Other places, such as West Hills, Park 25 Apartments, 2401 W. $25^{\mathrm{th}}$ St., and Campus Court at Naismith (formerly Colony Woods), 1301 W. $24^{\mathrm{th}}$ St., allow students to have a blank lease to take home before signing their own. "If a student wanted one, we would give them a blank copy of the lease," Jeff Ridenour, manager at Park 25 Apartments, said. "No one has really asked to have a lease in advance, though. They're pretty straightforward leases." To ensure that students understand their lease, LSS offers two handouts in addition to their services. One has tips for before moving in, such as asking to see the actual apartment and not just a model. The other explains a few common lease terms that many students do not understand. Although these handouts can be helpful in understanding the lease, Hardesty still strongly recommends having an attorney read over the lease.

The cost can range from a few dollars to several hundred. THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY MARCH 7, 2007 APARTMENT GUIDE 2 15 I am so grateful to you. I hope you find the answers to my questions. Thank you for your kindness and support. I will always be grateful for your help. KANSAN FILE PHOTO Reading through your lease before you sign it is an important step in picking an apartment. If you're renewing a lease, it's also important to look through the automatic renewal clause in your lease. details If a student does not have someone look over the lease here are some common red flags to look for: > According to Hardesty, one of the biggest problems is the automatic renewal clause. This is when a landlord will automatically renew the lease if they do not have notice of a student's intent to move. To avoid this problem, tell the manager as soon as possible of intent to move when the lease is over. "We always tell people that if you know by, say, December that you're not staying there, give them the notice then," Hardesty said."Some people know they'll only be staying a year and give it to them right when they're signing the lease." > Another common problem deals with the two most important factors of any apartment search: roommates and rent. Only a couple properties, such as The Legends Place and The Reserve, 2511 W. 31st St, offer individual leases where each tenant pays their own rent. In many places, all roommates are responsible for one rent payment. If one roommate does not pay his share of the rent, the landlord has the right to evict all of the tenants for not paying rent. This is called the "joint and several liability" clause. LSS suggests that one roommate pays the rent and the other roommates pay their shares to that person. The last problem concerns not getting the security deposit back. LSS sees many landlord versus tenant cases in the fall, when many students are expecting their security deposits, Hardesty said. Most of the time, students do not pay close enough attention to the initial walk-through of the apartment, or do not do a thorough job of cleaning the apartment. Landlords, however, check every nook and cranny for damages. "When you move out, [landlords] go through that place with a fine-tooth comb," Hardesty said."Landlords will charge you for every little thing." Pay close attention to an inventory sheet that lists the costs to repair an item if it were damaged. These costs could include prices to fix a light bulb, clean the carpet or repair the refrigerator. This is where many students lose their security deposit. Sometimes managers will keep the security deposit, and then ask for more money to fix any damages they might find. IRONWOOD Management, L.C.

BY AMRUTA BHADKAMKAR Cabinets/Counters: Are the cabinets made of strong and non-porous material? You will probably use them for storing food and it is important that they not develop leaks. Are the counters laminated or made of a solid material? Laminated surfaces tend to chip and stain easily. Solid surfaces are more durable and will require less maintenance. Notes. Floors: Are they tiled, laminated or made of wood? Kitchen floors are commonly laminated or tiled. Tiles are more durable but they can chip or crack and they can get cold in the winter. Wood looks better and creates a warm and inviting feeling but it can get damaged from water spills. Notes. Appliances: Are they standard or built—in? Be sure to check if the appliances are in working order if they come with the house. This includes appliances such as the garbage disposal, lights, electric outlets, microwave, stove, oven etc. Bathroom: The bathroom should be checked for leaks or cracks in the toilet, tub and sink. In addition, you should also check if the pipe leaks. A good way to do that is to check the access panel behind the tub or check the ceiling. You should also ensure that the taps and flushes work **Basement:** If you've ever lived in a home with a leaky basement, you probably don't want to ever again. Be sure to check for water marks and other signs of a leaky basement. Once water begins to leak into a basement, it is usually better to add a system to remove it rather than to stop it from coming in (which is often a futile effort). Insulation: With high energy prices, a well-insulated house keeps you warm during cool months, and cool during warm months. Not only is it important to have at least a foot of insulation in the ceiling, but insulating the walls also helps reduce energy costs. Driveway: It is costly to repair driveways and sidewalks. Look for cracks and sunken areas they can end up being trouble down the line. source: www.homeinsight.com 4C BIG 12 TOURNAMENT SPECIAL SECTION THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN "HURSDAY MARCH 8 2007 MEN'S BASKETBALL Big 12's stars to shine in Oklahoma City WHAT TO WATCH FOR: KANSAS The No. 1 seed is the favorite in this tournament, despite losing to Texas A&M in the two teams' only meeting. Kansas is all but assured a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament if it makes the championship game. TEXAS A&M The Aggies missed out on the Big 12 regular season championship after coming up short in double overtime against Texas last week. Now, A&M has the toughest road to the championship game. The Aggies might have to play Oklahoma State in the second round and then Texas after that. TEXAS Is Kevin Durant OK? The answer to this is likely yes. He only turned his ankle against Kansas and there was no word of any real damage. The Longhorns have a great chance to win the whole thing and the possibility of a third round match up against Texas A&M should make everyone smile. KANSAS STATE It's a shame that the fourth best team in the Big 12 might not make the NCAA tournament if it loses Friday. But that's the situation K-State faces. If the Wildcats beat Texas Tech or Colorado, they would have 22 wins, and it would be almost impossible to keep them out of the NCAAs. TEXAS TECH The Red Raiders proved that they are a dangerous team by defeating the Aggies twice and Jayhawks once. A victory against Kansas State in the second round should seal their spot in the NCAA tournament. MISSOURI The Tigers improved under coach Mike Anderson this season, but fans can wonder what could have been. If Mizzou would have beat K State and Nebraska at home, not a difficult task, the Tigers would be 20-9 and on the NCAA Tournament bubble. Now, Missouri has to win the conference tournament to make it. That won't be an easy task. If Mizzou wins in the first round, it has to play Texas in the second. OKLAHOMA STATE The Cowboys should also receive tremendous support from the locals. Oklahoma State is a team that could go on a run and win the whole tournament. The Cowboys underachieved after starting 15-1. JamesOn Curry and Mario Boggan are two dangerous scorers who can take over a game. IOWA STATE The Cyclones match up well against the Sooners, who they face in the first round. But Iowa State upset Oklahoma earlier this season, and the Sooners will not overlook the Cyclones again. OKLAHOMA The Sooners will be playing about 40 minutes away from their campus. That is good enough for a first round victory against Iowa State. But the homey feel will quickly disappear against Kansas. The Jayhawks want to beat them badly after winning closely in Norman last week. The Cornhuskers played inconsistently all season long. In one game, Aleks Marie hung 41 points in a victory against Kansas State. The next game the Huskers only scored 39 points in a loss to Kansas. Nebraska has a chance to beat Oklahoma State in the first round, but home-court advantage gives the Cowboys the edge. The Bears were the most disappointing team this season. People expected them to contend for at least an NIT berth, but they won only four league games. Baylor has a chance to beat Missouri if Aaron Bruce gets hot. The Aussie didn't play in the first time these teams met, and Baylor only lost by seven. BAYLOR The Buffaloes will not win a game. It's that simple. Winning three games in the conference was a miracle. Guard Richard Roby can get hot and make a difference but not enough of one. Fun Colorado fact: The Buffaloes have an RPI of 233, which is worse than any other school from a major conference. COLORADO WHO TO WATCH FOR: KEVIN DURANT TEXAS College basketball's best player proved he can take over a game in the first half against Kansas on Saturday. Despite the ankle injury, Durant should be ready to carry the Longhorns in Oklahoma City. Whatever [Name] takes in the Big 12 Tournament, it shouldn't be a surprise. Durant is capable of anything Durant ACIE LAW IV TEXAS A&M If the Aggies are in a close game in (AP) Oklahoma City, it's no secret that Law will have the ball in the closing minutes. Another match-up between Law and Durant should be a classic. If Law can lead the Aggies to the tournament title, A&M deserves JARRIUS JACKSON TEXAS TECH Jackson is quietly the Big 12's best player not named Durant or Law. If Jackson gets hot, the Red Raiders could easily find themselves in the Big 12 championship game. If Tews wins just one game in Oklahoma City, the Raiders should be dancing. A Jackson MARIO CHALMERS KANSAS KANSAS The reigning Most Outstanding Player of the Tournament has finally emerged from his midseason shooting slump. Kansas doesn't even need Chalmers to be hot to win the tournament, but if he's on. PETER A. LUCKER look out. While his offensive numbers are great, Chalmers' strength is on defense. He led the Big 12 averaging 2.5 steals a game. Chalmers JAMESON CURRY OKLAHOMA STATE If the Cowboys have any hopes of making the NCAA tournament, Curry will have to lead them on a serious run in their home state. Curry is certainly capable of being the best guard in the conference. He dropped 40 on Kansas State last week. JAMES KATZ Curry OUR PREDICTIONS: Ryan Schneider, sports editor: KANSAS The Jayhawks are the hottest team in the country right now, having won of eight in a row. The biggest reason for Kansas' success has been defense. The team has finally bought into coach Bill Self's defense-first philosophy and it's paying off. As long as the Jayhawks play defense in Oklahoma City, they'll cruise to another Big 12 Tournament title. Michael Phillips, men's basketball reporter: KANSAS Things are setting up for a repeat of last year's event, when Texas and Texas A&M played one of the best games of the year on Saturday, then Kansas knocked out the tired winner on Sunday. I don't buy the argument that the Jayhawks need to win to get a No. 1 seed, though. Advancing to Sunday should be good enough. Mark Dent, Big 12 basketball reporter: TEXAS & A.M The Aggies are motivated after not getting a share of the Big 12 Title and not being in the discussion for a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. Acie Law will be able to carry this team past Oklahoma State, Texas in the second and third rounds and Kansas in the title game. — Edited by Jyl Unruh PHILLIPS 66 BIG 12 MEN'S BASKETBALL CHAMPIONSHIP Thursday-Sunday, March 8-11 Ford Center -- Oklahoma City, Oklahoma .

Fleming, professor of science technology and society at Colby College in Waterville, Maine, spoke at the Hall Center for the Humanities about the modern view of global warming and the results of the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Report. He said that ideas and attitudes in society typically changed faster than the climate, but individuals could alter their lifestyles to make a difference in global warming on a local level. Solutions don't always come out of big cities and big shots, he said. "The generation can either be hedonistic and cynical" he said, "or they can take on this great new challenge." Fleming said that global warming wouldn't stop when carbon dioxide emissions were eliminated; the complex compound would stay in the atmosphere absorbing heat, globally increasing the temperature and causing sea levels to rise. Salt water would likely intrude bodies of fresh The first segment of the fourth IPCC report, which Fleming participated in, was released in Paris at the beginning of February. water and the temperature in the northern polar region will increase dramatically.

His message: expect rejection and insecurity. "There are only two guarantees in the industry," he said. "And they aren't fame and fortune." De Shields, who won the Outer Critics Circle Award for his performance in "The Full Monty," came to the University to work with students and to discuss the possibility of becoming a professor emeritus in theater next fall. He compared auditions to grocery shopping: picking and choosing produce based on a handful of characteristics. "It's very subjective," he said. De Shields is a colleague of John Staniunas, chair of the department. Staniunas said De Shields' visit to the University benefited students and theater programs. "Not only does he have a wealth of knowledge and experience as a professional in the theatre, but he is also a highly respected educator." Stanimanas said. Wisconsin. He said he enjoyed the opportunity to teach college students. De Shields earned a doctorate degree at the University of "Working with students keeps me honest," he said.

As dean, Carlin heads a school that serves about 6,000 graduate students and the University's international offices, including the Office of International Programs, Applied English Center, International Student and Scholar Services and the Office of Study Abroad. "The expansion of internationalization has grown dramatically just in the seven years I've been dean," Carlin said. "You really can't be a graduate dean without being international as well."

Chunks of ice floating down the river smashed into the dock on Feb. 20, bending support rods and leaving the dock unusable. "The dock is made of steel and it kind of looked like a car wreck", said jennifer Myers, assistant coach. "It's not like you can just use any dock like you could for a speed boat. You have to have something a little lower." Facilities Operations staff worked on the dock this week. Vernon Haid, physical plant supervisor, said ice was piled on top of the dock when the damage occurred. He said he was waiting for a couple parts to come by mail to finish the work. Until then, the team will use a temporary dock. Myers said she hoped the team would be on the water this afternoon. "We've been indoors all winter so it's kind of redundant being inside especially when it's nice outside," said Whitney Fasbender, senior rower. "We all really enjoy being out on the river." The extra time inside wasn't entirely negative. For conditioning, they used rowing machines that displayed exactly how hard they pulled. Being indoors also allowed more time for running and other conditioning. "We thought it would give us a good opportunity to get a little stronger", said Samira Naji, senior coxswain. Fasbender said the move outdoors would help the team get back Myers said the delay wouldn't hurt the team because many other teams were still working out indoors at this time of the year. She said they would typically spend two to three hours a day in the water once the dock was fixed. in rhythm. "You definitely need to be out on the boat practicing because that's how you get used to each other" she said. The teams first meet this year is at home against Texas and Southern Methodist University on March 24.

A second worker also fell, according to Troy Lane, spokesman for the Kansas State police, but there was no indication he was seriously injured. Steven E. Darveaux, of Winchester, and Timothy W. Hanes, of Meriden, got into a forklift box at an apartment complex construction site Wednesday evening to be lowered with tools to ground level, according to a news release from the university. The side of the box began to tip and both men fell from the box. The forklift box then fell on Darveaux. Emergency medical workers were unable to revive Darveaux at the scene. IN COURT KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Jurors misunderstood a federal judge's instruction when they convicted five people in the deaths of six firefighters in a 1988 explosion, according to a newspaper report Faulty instructions lead jurors to bend system rules according to a newspaper report. The jury voted once to convict all five defendants, Frank Sheppard, Skip Sheppard, Bryan Sheppard, Richard Brown and Edwards are serving life sentences in federal prisons. Don Ledford, spokesman for the U.S. attorney's office, said even if jurors made a mistake at trial, 'under the law, you can't go back and undo a jury verdict, and there are good reasons for that.' "After jurors are discharged, they are subject to all kinds of influences and nonrelevant facts and issues." All five defendants have maintained their innocence in the Nov. 29, 1988, arson fire and explosion that killed firefighters Thomas Fry, Gerald Halloran, Luther Hurd, James Kilventon Jr., Robert D. McKarnin and Michael Oldham. According to court records, U.S. District Judge Joseph Stevens told jurors, "You must give separate consideration to the evidence about each individual defendant. Each defendant is entitled to be treated separately nitted to be treated separately. But The Star's investigation found that jurors misunderstood those instructions. "It was so long ago that I do not remember what instructions were given either verbally or in writing," the jury foreman said. "I hope the right people are in jail, I think they did it; it's hard to sav" The complexity of jury instructions is a common problem, Jonakait said, which is why many state courts do not try groups of defendants together, as federal courts tend to do.

Bricke said because European higher education was highly subsidized by national governments, Europeans did not have the tradition of alumni gift-giving that American universities had. "I think she has been very committed to campus international organizations," Bricke said. "She has been extremely hospitable to international visitors." "Diana is so incredibly social." Pierron said. "Their house is definitely built to party." Abby Pierron, Carlin's step daughter and Lawrence graduate student in museum studies, said Carlin was a great cook and often entertained international visitors at her home. Carlin said she was a self-trained gourmet cook and food aficionado. She enjoys watching the Food Network, especially "Iron Chef America" and "Emeril Live." Carlin, who is three-quarters Italian, was once featured on "jayni's Kitchen," a local television show. The show featured Carlin's recipes, including Caponata (an eggplant appetizer), Porchetta al Finocchio (Italian pork roast) and Pesche Ripiene (stuffed baked peaches). "I think there's this image of professional women not having time or interest in that sort of thing," Carlin said. "But I do have a domestic thing, I like being at home." Porchetta al Finocchio > 3 to 4 pounds boneless pork loul shoulder roast > fennel leaves from one stalk of fennel > 6 to 10 garlic cloves, peeled > olive oil > salt & black pepper To prepare the pork roast for stuffing with the fennel leaves and garlic, cut a lengthwise slit through the center of the meat, stopping short of the other end by about one inch. Remove the leaves from the fennel stalk. Save the stalk and bulb for another use. Cut the garlic cloves in half. Stuff about three-fourths of the fennel leaves and garlic into the opening in the meat. Tie the roast with string to keep the seasonings in during cooking. Make about 12 one-inch deep slits in the top, sides and bottom of the roast and stuff the remaining garlic and femenile into each slip. Spray or brush the entire roast lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the pork roast fat side down in a roasting pan and add one cup of water to the pan. Cook the roast uncovered in a 275° degree oven for four to five hours, until the internal temperature reaches 170 and the juices run clear. Transfer the roast to a warm platter, tent with foil and let rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. The roast can be served hot or cold. To serve, remove the string from the pork roast and slice into one-inch slices. Serves six Option: Serve the sliced pork roast on cabbation rolls.

Antonella Barba, Sabrina Sloan, Jared Cotter and Jason "Sundance" Head were cast off Thursday in phone voting, which drew about 37 million calls and text messages. The performers who made the cut were Blake Lewis, Lakisha Jones, Chris Sligh, Jordin Sparks, Phil Stacey, Melinda Doolittle, Brandon Rogers, Gina Glocksen, Chris Richardson. Stephanie Edwards, Haley Scarnato and Samaya Malak. The show's tense final moments belonged to Malakar and Head, who were waiting to find out who would take the competition's 12th spot — and who would go home. Judge Paul Abdul was stunned to hear that Malakar, who is not exactly a judge favorite, was staying. "I'm speechless," Abdul said. "This is a singing competition, and Sundance, you've been one of our finest." Howd this happen? "The volume was turned down," quipped Simon Cowell, who has criticized Malakar, 17, of Federal Way, Wash., for his Thursday's show also featured a performance by "American Idol" winner Carrie Underwood, who recently snagged a Grammy for best new artist. She sang "Wasted," a song from her album "Some Hearts." So far this season, the show's sixth, men and women have been competing separately, with viewers voting off two of each sex weekly. When the dozen finalists return Tuesday, one singer voted off each week. The winner will be chosen in May. "American Idol" continues to dominate the ratings, attracting between 27 million and 37 million viewers per telecast this season. "It is hypocritical on the part of developed countries to discuss this issue," Shibata said. that it would disrupt the American economy. CLIMATE (CONTINUED FROM 1A) However, he said even though the United States was a large contributor to the global warming problem, it could be a large solution to the problem. Gregory Cushman, assistant professor of international environmental history, said society was at a tipping point to change its interaction with the environment on a personal level. "You need to show you're ready to do something." he said. "We're not doomed, but the outlook does not look bright," he said. This dim outlook, Cushman said, could inspire people to stop doing the same old thing. "Acting locally isn't enough, but Fleming will talk at 3:30 p.m. today at the Hall Center for the Humanities about unconventional methods of deterring global warming. it's a place to start," he said.

De Shields' assertive demeanor commanded the students' attention. He told those who were "brave enough" to get on their feet. Everyone stood. Ryan Tucker, Shawnee, senior, said he didn't think De Shields intimidated students. "What he says is very basic." Tucker said. "But it's very essential." De Shields will continue to work with students through next week. Apart from Broadway acting, De Shields is a singer, writer, composer, lyricist, choreographer, director and educator.

Your attitude needs a serious change. You're a maddening tease. You get us all hot and excited and then out of the blue you give us the cold shoulder. Just when we think you're going to expose your warmth, you cloud over. You need to stop flashing hints of what's to come next. The anticipation is too much to bear. We loathe your inconsistency. When we need to study, you're gloriously beautiful. When we need to play, you're miserably cold and windy. Now we never know what to wear in the morning. We put away our scarves for the season and then pull them out the next day. We shiver on the way to class and sweat on the way home. Some have taken to layers. They're comforting at first but then they get burdensome. We're sorry for giving off too much carbon dioxide but this is really no way to behave. How are we supposed to turn the heat off and walk instead of driving if you can't keep us warm? Even Old Man Winter is annoyed with you. He said he usually spends more time with Old Woman Winter about now, but you've been keeping him so busy he has no time for her. You're making him lonely and cranky. We don't want to piss you off. Please don't send a microburst like you did last year. That wasn't very nice either. We recognize your awesome powers, but we just want to point out that we think you've been excessively temperamental lately. Don't you remember those warm sunny days with lemonades, the leaved trees and the sparkling pools? Seriously, take a cue from the window shops downtown on Massachusetts: they're loaded with bright colorful patterns, spaghetti straps, short skirts and board shorts. It should be obvious that we're anxious to bust out our flip-flops and frolic in the bright green grass. It would be really nice if you could just warm up. We know you've got it in you, Mother Nature. We haven't forgotten the weeks of triple digits last summer. That's not really necessary — we don't want you to overstrain yourself, old girl — but a little more sunshine wouldn't hurt anything. Come on. Even Old Man Winter is annoyed with you. He said he usually spends more time with Old Woman Nature about now, but you've been keeping him so busy he has no time for her. just a little less cold breeze. Ten more degrees. You can do 10 more, right? Give us some 70-degree days? Maybe an 80? Doesn't 80 sound nice? Think it over. Sincerely, sincerey. The University Daily Kansan editorial board (and, like, everyone else too) Alison Kieler for the editorial board. COMMENTARY Ultimate presidential candidate lists impossible bipartisan policies I hereby announce my candidacy for president of the United States of America. Let the media swarm me like tornadic winds to your mobile home community. I am a beacon of light, a glimmer of hope, a lover, not a fighter. I embody the ideals of bleeding-heart conservatism and compassionate liberalism put forth by Ronald Reagan, Franklin D. Roosevelt and our founding fathers. 1972 Henceforth, I will run a campaign based on grass-roots support generated through You-Tube videos Facebook groups, and certified Bracketology. The bracketologists project that I will be a 15-seed, but I'm told that occasionally these teams upset 2-seeds. I have been told that I "look presidential", something of a cross between JFK and Abraham Lincoln. My soft yet angular features do little to conceal a fierce dignity and humble patriotism. Though my profile may not be instantly recognizable, perhaps you will know it well by the time it is featured on a 15-cent piece, or a $25 bill. The excessive corporate contributions corrupting our political system will play no role in my campaign. I will take these countless millions which I have so graciously received and invest them in the American people and forgotten Internet stocks. BY GRANT SNIDER KANSAN COLUMNIST OPINION@KANSAN.COM My political platform is built on a strong foundation, and has a ladder leading up to the top. I will climb this ladder and announce where I stand on the important issues. I will fight for tax cuts for the rich, made possible by a minimum wage increase and expansion of our welfare programs. The gratuitous amounts of money gained by our CEOs through my tax cuts will trickle down a mountain of prosperity, becoming a gushing river that feeds into a crystal-clear lake at the base of the mountain, where the poor will bathe in its sanctifying waters. I ensure another announcement of victory in Iraq, Afghanistan and all the other sand-covered nations our military may have invaded. However, I guarantee the instant and total withdrawal of troops from the glorious screw-up of my reviled predecessor. As commander-in-chief, I will be a staunch defender of American culture. I will keep "Grey's Anatomy" on the air, appear simultaneously on the "Colbert Report" and the "O'Reilly Factor," and make sure Natalie Portman does not shave her head in "V for Vendetta II." Because the youths of this country are so important to me, you may even see me at an "emu" concert. My political views are informed by both my staunch religious faith and my firm belief in the separation of church and state. I will march for the homosexual rights movement under a rainbow banner, and I will advocate a constitutional amendment to stop the gay marriage epidemic. I will support a woman's right to choose while defending a culture of life. No babies will be killed on my watch, unless they commit a crime worthy of capital punishment. Handguns for everyone! Except for convicted criminals, or those with criminal inclinations. That's my new gun control slogan. Hey, you up in that tree, that's a smart looking rifle you've got there. Is that a silencer on the barrel? Hey, why do you have it pointed at me? Does my hair look OK through that scope? Take your hand off the trigger, my boy, and come share in my vision for America.

Pedestrians look on as others leave messages and gifts for the 9 people who died in a fire Thursday, in the Bronx borough of New York. BY VERENA DOBNIK ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Screams poured from the burning building along with smoke and flames "Help me! Help me! Please! Please!" Bystanders looked up to see a woman toss two children out the window one at a time to those below. The scene unfolded early Thursday during New York's deadliest fire in nearly two decades — a blaze that killed eight children and one adult, part of an extended family led by African immigrants who shared a row house near Yankee Stadium. The children tossed from the three-story building survived, authorities said. The woman who threw them jumped but survived. The fire was sparked by an overheated space heater near a mattress in a basement bedroom, then raced up a stairway pushed by air from broken back windows, said Fire Chief Salvatore Cassano. Most of the 22 residents — 17 of them children — were stranded on the upper floors as the blaze raged for two hours. "I can't recollect a fire where we "I can't recoile lost eight children". Cassano said. Neighbor Edward Soto ran toward the fire, then stared in disbelief as an infant was tossed from the building. there was no evidence of a crime. "All I see is just a big cloud of white dust The dead were found throughout the house, mostly on the upper floors, with babies still in their cribs. The victims included five children from one family, along with a wife and three other children from a second family. "I can't recollect a fire where we lost eight children." SALVATORE CASSANO Fire Chief and out of nowhere comes the first baby," said Soto, who caught the child while with another neighbor. Moments later, he caught a second child. At least one of the children was not breathing. Firefighters worked for two hours in freezing predawn temperatures to bring the flames under control. The home had two smoke alarms, but neither had batteries. Police said Word of the fire spread grief across two continents, from the Bronx to villages in Mali, a West African country about twice the size of Texas and one of the poorest nations in the world. "I don't know what I'm going to do," said a devastated Mamadou Soumure, a livery-cabdriver whose wife, son and 7-month-old twins died in the blaze. "I love her. I love my wife." Soumare was driving through Harlem when he received a frantic cell phone call from his wife, Fatoumata, who relatives said died in the fire. "She said, We have a fire," Soumare recalled. "She was screaming." Soumare rushed home in his cab, only to helplessly watch as their home turned into a fiery tomb. Moussa Magassa, an official of the New York chapter of the High Council for Malians Living Abroad, was headed back to the city from a business trip to Mali after receiving the grim news that nearly half of his 11 children were dead, said council representative Bourraine Niamble. "He's the best in our community," said Imam Mahamadou Soukina, a Muslim cleric and family friend. "It's very, very, very sad what has happened to us today." Magassa arrived in New York about 15 years ago, friends said. One neighbor said Magassa and Mamadou Soumare were brothers. Fatoumata Soumare was from the village of Tasauirga and left Mali for the Bronx about six years ago, friends said. The death toll might have been higher if not for the efforts of Soto and another neighbor, David Todd. Todd, 40, who lived next door, said one child was already on the ground in the yard when he arrived with Soto outside the burning home. "Please God, help my children!" the woman inside screamed while tossing the children out — and then jumping from the window.

Don't get me wrong, students are at the tournament. Oklahoma and Oklahoma State obviously drew its students to the Ford Center, Kansas, Texas and Texas A&M students will make the road trip to Oklahoma City today to cheer on their respective teams. But the students are scattered throughout the arena, in seats they all got separately. KANSAS VS. OKLAHOMA, 11:30 A.M.TODAY, OKLAHOMA CITY There is no student section at the Ford Center, or at any Big 12 Tournament, which is too bad. The enthusiastic students are what make college basketball better than the NBA. Having hundreds of college students together rooting for their respective schools brings an unreal atmosphere to college basketball. Unfortunately, the Big 12 Tournament lacks that atmosphere because most college students don't have $245 sitting around to spend on tickets to go to the conference tournament. That means, if you're a Kansas, Texas or Texas A&M fan, you'll spend about $82 a game to see your team play, assuming they make it to the championship. That's ridiculous. The Big 12 needs to dedicate sections of the arena for students, and for a reduced price. The Big 12 should implement a lottery like Kansas has for the NCAA student tickets for select student sections. Even when Kansas City played host to the tournament two years ago, KU students showed up but they were all over the arena. The Big 12 needs to make the conference tournament accessible to students because students are what make the college game go. Now, on to the actual tournament. Kansas should be able to cruise past Oklahoma today because the talent levels just don't compare.

"We will get some rest, and hopefully we will be rested up enough to where we can make it competitive and have a chance down the stretch."

The last time the teams met was on Oklahoma's home court in Norman, just 20 miles south of the Ford Center, where today's game will be played. In that meeting, Kansas charged out to a 14-point lead, but watched it disappear as Oklahoma shrank the deficit and tied the game in the final minutes. Sophomore guard Mario Chalmers hit some clutch free throws, and Kansas emerged with a 67-65 victory. This time around, coach Bill Self will try to improve his team's performance against Oklahoma's pressure defense, Freshman guard Sherron Collins had a rough time handling the ball down the stretch in Norman, and the Sooners will likely key in on him during today's game. At his press conference Monday, Self said that it didn't matter to him whether Oklahoma or Iowa State was the opponent, because the team did not practice for either SEE BASKETBALL ON PAGE 3B >> TRACK AND FIELD Runner revamps attitude for race BY TAYLOR BERN In December 2006, junior distance runner Colby Wissel's hopes of a successful indoor track season were all but gone. The 2006 Big 12 cross country champion injured his hamstring during Christmas break, missed a full week of running and consequently returned to campus in early January with an enormous amount of ground to make up. "I hurt my hamstring and training wasn't going real well, but coach Clark had a great plan to get me back into the swing of things without rushing anything, and I basically raced myself into shape." Wissel said. Coach Doug Clark's plan has paid off in full thus far, producing a Big. 12 indoor title in the 3,000 meters for Wissel. The regular-season punctuation came last weekend at the Alex Wilson Invitational in South Bend, Ind. Wissel traveled to Notre Dame knowing that he had just one more chance to qualify for nationals. He responded with a career-best, NCAA automatic-qualifying and new Kansas-record time of 7:53.08. "With 400 meters to go, my coach told me I was on pace to go to nationals, so I just kicked it in and ran my last 400 in 58 seconds." Wissel said. Wissel thought his finishing kick set him apart from the competition. That confident attitude was a new feeling for a guy who, up until his breakout cross country season, thought of himself as a lower-tier runner, rather than one of the nation's best. Clark thinks that the cross country title skewed Wissel's perception for the better. "This year, mentally, he's a different person." Clark said. "He's just now starting to understand how talented he is." Wissel's finish time on March 3 is the second best in the nation, and puts him in what Clark thinks is an ideal situation. Most of his competitors qualified two or more weeks ago and have been fighting to keep their form. But because of his early injury, Wissel is only now in top shape, and it couldn't come at a better time.

Players hate to hear it. And even though the saying is more tired than media coverage of Tyler Hansbrough's broken nose, it's the truth. BY C L MOORE BY C.J. MOORE This has become even more apparent to me this year. A couple of buddies and I coach a sixth grade basketball team in Lawrence, the Blue Devils. The name was given to us — it wasn't by choice. KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST CJMOORE@KANSAN.COM I've learned a few things this year. One, I'm convinced an entire generation has A.D.D. Two, nothing motivates sixth graders like a free Gatorade. And most importantly, defense does win championships. Our team was the best defensive team in the league first semester. We held opponents to a league low 24.6 points per game. Our defense was so good that it brought tears to the eyes of several opposing teams' best players. You know your defense is good when it makes the other team cry. Just ask Kansas State's Jason Bennett. In the second half of our sixth graders' championship game, we held the Terrapins to four points. That's the equivalent of Kansas holding Nebraska to 16 points in the first half in Lincoln earlier this season. We came from 12 points behind at the half to win the league championship. After starting the second season this semester 2.0, the Blue Devils have lost five straight games. We're scoring at the same rate as last semester. We have the same play ers. We're coaching the same way. But our boys quit playing defense. We've given up a league worst 39,1 points per game and I've gone from feeling like John Wooden to Ricardo Patton. The only thing we do well anymore is take charges, and that's because we told our boys wed give them a Gatorade for every charge they took. I even taught them how to take a charge, how it sells the charge if you grunt when the offensive player runs into you. Now our boys grant more than female tennis players and were by far the best hydrated team in the league. Coach Bill Self should use a similar tactic for his Jayhawks, who at times fall too much in love with blocking shots instead of taking the charge. But free Gatorade might not entice his players. He could try bottles of Cristal. The Jahawks should also pay attention to the Blue Devils' triumphs and tribulations this year. Basketball is basketball no matter what level, even sixth grade, and championships at every level are won on the defensive end. season and climbed to second in the national rankings because of its defense. Kansas is fourth in the nation in field goal percentage defense and is holding opponents to 37.4 percent shooting. According to www.ken-pom.com, Kansas leads the nation in defensive efficiency, which is calculated by taking the number of points allowed per every 100 possessions. These stats aren't a coincidence. Bill Self is one of the best coaches in the nation when it comes to coaching defense. This hasn't always made him a fan favorite here in Lawrence, where everyone became spoiled by watching the fast-breaking, high-scoring Roy Williams teams. The Jayhawks during the Williams era scored a lot of points and won a lot of games. But Williams never won a national championship with the Jayhawks — Self will. Kansas won the Big 12 title this Williams's teams always had that one game in the tournament where their shots — or free throws — quit falling. It happens. Shots aren't going to fall every game, every half. Just ask Kevin Durant and the Texas Longhorns. But defense doesn't have to come and go. It can compensate for an off shooting night. Defense, like rebounding, is about effort. It helps to be athletic, quick, lengthy and well-schooled: Sound familiar? Those are Self's layhawks. Self has been criticized by some that he just recruits the best players available, doesn't try to build a team and just tries to accumulate as much talent possible. That's far from the truth. Self recruits guys that are talented on the offensive end but can also be molded into defensive specialists. Take Brandon Rush. When Rush arrived in Lawrence two years ago, he was regarded as a guy who could light up the scoreboard and didn't care much about defense. But Self saw that at 6-foot 6 with long arms and great lateral quickness, Rush had the potential to be a great defender. During the beginning of Rush's freshman season, he looked lost on the defensive end. Then with some time under Self's tutelage, Rush has turned into one of the best on-the-ball defenders in the country. It was Rush's defense that held Durant to seven points in the second half last Saturday. This year, Self's master plan is coming together. The Jayhawks' offenseteens off their defense. They don't have one player that is a defensive liability. They have bought into Self's defense-first mentality. As a childhood teammate used to say, "If they don't score, they can't win." If the Jayhawks keep this mentality about their opponents through March, they'll find their way out of the first round and they might have a chance to win the whole dang thing. Just ask my Blue Devils. Moore is a Shawnee senior in journalism. NCAA Edited by Kelly Lanigan Selection committee ready for number games BY MICHAEL MAROT ASSOCIATE PRESS INDIANAPOLIS — Gary Walters and the NCAA selection committee will spend the rest of this week studying numbers, debating resumes and finding the 34 best at-large teams to put in the 65-team tournament. They're likely to spend the next week hearing everyone complain about it. “There's no magic formula to this,” Walters said. “Just because a team has a solid record or is solid in league play or even has a 500 record in league play isn't enough. You have the unbalanced schedules, so some teams may have followed a different path.” Walters acknowledged Wednesday that they'll also be watch scores from this week's conference tournaments to sort out the mess. Among those fighting for No. 1 seeds are Florida and Wisconsin. athletics calendar BOTTLENECK PRESENTS But Walters knows one thing; Some people won't be happy. CBS commentator Billy Packer told a national television audience it was too high? Saint Joseph's coach Phil Marrelli fired back by questioning Packer's credentials, and his Hawks eventually advanced to the regional finals before losing to Oklahoma State. But how the bracket eventually looks, even at the top, is anybody's guess. Welcome to life as chairman of the highest-profile committee in college athletics, where the only thing everyone seems to agree on is that nobody gets it right. "Having observed the criticism over the years from teams that didn't get in, I understand how difficult that is," said Walters, the athletic director at Princeton.

"We got maybe one little step to take, play a good powerhouse this weekend and ride in there with some confidence after these two wins and the two wins over Western Illinois." That little step that Morrison mentioned has much to do with this weekend and the Jayhawks' ability to play the Southeastern Conference powerhouse. Morrison had huge games this week, going 9-16 with two home runs and 10 RBI, but this weekend's competition will test those numbers. Junior right-hander Jess Todd (1.1, 2.19) will make his first start as a Razorback this afternoon. In just 12.1 innings this season, Todd has had 21 strikeouts to a mere two walks. The numbers are there for the Top 10 opponent, but Kansas isn't budging. The Jayhawks are hitting .315 as a team compared to the Razorbacks.299. On the other side of the ball, Kansas also has the edge with a 2.98 ERA to Arkansas's 4.36. "I think people have got some confidence back in them," Morrison said. "Guys got to pull through some of their struggles and got some game speed before we head out there. I like our chances. If we go down there and play hard, we should be fine." Fine if Morrison and crew can keep their bats hot while cooling their opponents. Junior third baseman Casey Coon leads the SEC with 26 RBI in 15 games and leads his teammates with a .389 average at the plate. Unraid of the numbers or the ranking, the Jayhawks are excited for the challenge. "Oh yeah, I'm very excited," sophomore left-hander Andy Marks said about facing such a high-profile opponent. "Actually, their best pitcher, Nick Schmidt, I faced him a lot in high school. I'm really excited about going up against him and beating a Top 25 team." Marks (3-1, 4.12), who will start the series finale on Sunday, hit the nail on the head with Schmidt's description. An All-American last season and a pre-season All-American this season, the junior lefty is 3-0 with a 1.50 ERA this year. He threw a complete game in the Razorbacks' last time out, a 5-1 victory against Minnesota on Sunday. Arkansas' ace won't get to throw against Marks this trip, as Schmidt is penciled in for Saturday's game. Although any weather-related discussions are almost taboo in the world of Kansas baseball, rain is predicted for everyday of the series. But at this point, the Jayhawks take precipitation in stride and focus on the difficult task at hand. "We were trying to get some confidence and make some progress with the bat each day and get outside each day, take pre-game (battling practice)." Price said. "I think we'll walk into Arkansas this weekend, one of the greatest places in America, with a little bit of swagger." Kansan sportswriter Alissa Bauer can be contacted at abauer@kansan.com.

"I have to take them off that pedestal and realize that I can run with these guys," Wissel said. "Cross country gave me a lot of confidence because not only was I running with a lot of these guys, I was beating some of them." Clark's advice to his star runner is as simple as staying the course. "He just needs to not try and do anything extra or above and beyond, because what he's already doing is the best way to approach it," Clark said. With a little time to reflect on his 2006-07 cross country and track seasons, Wissel was able to get past his uncertainties to see the potential in himself that his coaches have seen all along. "I don't want to sound cocky," Wissel said, "but the way things have been going, I don't want to put any limits on myself."

Assuming the Jayhawks advance, Saturday's game should also be winnable. Kansas will face the winner of the Texas Tech vs. Kansas State game, two teams with their seasons on the line. The winner of that game likely finds itself in the Big Dance while the loser has NIT written all over it, which bodes well for Kansas. The Wildcats and Red Raiders will leave everything on the court today, while the Jayhawks should have a relatively easy day. After fighting for their season, the winner — whom I think will be Texas Tech — will be exhausted and just excited to know it will be dancing. Therefore, Kansas should have no problem beating either team — especially if it's Texas Tech, — especially if it's Texas Tech, because of the revenge factor. Finally, the championship game. Most Kansas fans would love to face Texas A&M after it won inside Allen Fieldhouse. But I can't take the Aggies after the performance Longhorn do-it-all man Kevin Durant put on in the first half against the Jayhawks last weekend. Durant's ankle is reported to be healthy and he has the ability to single-handedly win the game for the Longhorns. But what about Texas A&M's Acie Law IV? Sorry, Law is incredible and clutch, but he isn't as dominant as Durant. — Edited by Kelly Lanigan In the championship, if it plays out this way, Kansas will be cutting down the nets again. The Jayhawks showed they were a more talented team than the Longhorns on Saturday, even though they trailed at halftime. Davison is an Overland Park senior in journalism.

Without his services, it may be hard for Oklahoma to keep pace with Kansas and still stay out of foul trouble.

"We've got to get ready for BILL SELF Kansas coach to get ready for a team basically within 24 hours," sophomore guard Julian Wright said. Saturday's game if they win today. While they watched the game, the Jayhawks no doubt noticed the dominant inside presence of Oklahoma's Nate Carter, who managed to keep the Iowa State offense out of the paint for most of the first half. He also chipped in 22 points on the offensive end, and was complimented by guard Tony Crocker's 15 points — most of those three pointers late in the game. The victory came without the services of guard Michael Neal, who Anytime you play at night, the game may end at a certain time, but the game doesn't really end until early the next morning" he said. "There are so many things going on that you have no free time by playing that late, and then you play in the afternoon the next day. So I think the advantage isn't in the first game, but in the second game." If the Jayhawks win today, they face the winner of the Kansas State vs. Texas Tech game at 1 p.m. Saturday.

Royals camp full of new optimism BY DOUG TUCKER ASSOCIATED PRESS SURPRISE, Ariz. — Because he's still recovering from shoulder surgery and not yet able to participate fully, Scott Elarton has had time to just sit back and observe. He likes what he sees in the Kansas City Royals' camp. Three weeks in, there appears to be a subtle sense of optimism that's more than just brave talk from a franchise that's lost 100 games in four of the past five years and can hardly go anywhere but up. Fueled by some talented young players, this cautious hopefulness seems genuine. "I think there's just a lot more positive outlook," Elarton said Thursday morning, sitting at his locker and stretching his long legs into the bustling clubhouse. "I think we expect to win now. That's from day one." This year's camp has been energized by some of the most promising talent to pass this way in many years. Sitting right next to each other in one corner of the clubhouse are the overall No. 2 and No. 1 picks in baseball's June draft the past two years, third baseman Alex Gordon and right-hander Luke Hochevar. But the biggest change Elarton detects may not stems from anyone who's in uniform. Dayton Moore, hired in June to replace general manager Allard Baird, seems to be succeeding in creating a whole a new attitude. His message to the players when they first pitched camp three weeks ago was short and to the point. "Dayton came in and said, 'I expect to win'," said Elarton. "He spoke for about 5 minutes and that was the message of the meeting."

Kansas (11-6-1) will play Drake (7-11) at 2 p.m. and North Dakota State (12-4) at 4:15 p.m. The Jayhawks began the season at the Campbell-Cartier Classic. The team left with a 2-2-1 record and competed with Top 25 ranked teams such as No. 10 Cal, No. 6 Oregon State, and No. 23 UMass. Senior Kassie Humphreys has led the team in pitching this season with a 7-2 record and 1.33 ERA. At the Sunshine State Tournament, the Jayhawks beat No. 22 Florida State and came away with the tournament title.

Edited by Trevan McGee 》 TENNIS Getting back into the swing of things Motivated Jayhawks on the road to recovery after rough early season BY RUSTIN DODD After the Kansas tennis teams sluggish 2-8 start, coach Amy Hall-Holt said last weekend's victory against Iowa State might be the spark the team needs to turn its season around. The motivated Jayhaws traveled to Ames, Iowa, last Saturday and thumped the Cyclones 6-1. The teams first conference win of the season improved its record to 3-8, and was the 28th consecutive victory against Iowa State. The team has a chance to win consecutive dual matches for the first time this season with back-to-back contests against Nebraska and Louisville this weekend. The Jayhawks face a Nebraska team on Saturday that is responsible for last season's 4-3 loss. "Mentally and physically, they were up for that match." Hall-Holt said. "We talked a lot last week and talked about their needs and what we can do to get back on track. Our goal is staying on track, taking the Iowa State match and moving forward." "It's going to be a very competitive match" Hall-Holt said. "Nebraska always comes out with their high-intensity game when they play us." Nebraska is 6-4 on the year, but searching for its first road win. The Cornhuskers feature one of the few line-ups that can rival the Jayhawks' youth. Nebraska has two freshmen, three sophomores, and two Juniors on the roster. The 57th-ranked singles player in the nation, junior Imke Reimers, has been the catalyst for the Cornhuskers. Reimers will be slotted against junior Elizaveta Avdeeva in the No.1 singles match. Avdeeva snapped a four-match losing streak last weekend against Iowa State to improve her singles record to 4-7. An Avdeeva victory against Reimers could provide the lift the Jayhawks need to beat the Cornhuskers. If the Jayhawks fail to beat the Cornhuskers, they will not have to wait long to get back on the court. The Jayhawks take on Louisville this Sunday. Louisville has a 4-10 record, but beat Cincinnati last weekend to end a five-match losing streak. Hall-Holl said her team finally rounded into form after a tough opening month that featured a rash of injuries, illness and seven losses against nationally ranked teams. "We need to concentrate on staying focused with every point and playing smart tennis. The girls know how it felt to get that big win over Iowa State. They're wanting to feel that again with another win." Two victories this weekend would do wonders for the team's confidence and help springboard the team into the heart of the conference season. A winless weekend would sting because the layhawks have to wait 19 days before taking the court against No. 5 Baylor. Kansan sportswriter Rustin Dodd can be contacted at rddd@ kansan.com. Edited by Trevan McGee >> TRACK AND FIELD Three juniors head to NCAA Championships Distance runner, pole vaulter, weight thrower each rank second in nation BY TAYLOR BERN Juniors Egor Agafonov, Kate Sultanova and Colby Wissel will be in Fayetteville, Ark., this weekend for the NCAA Indoor Championships. All three athletes won their respective events at the Big 12 Championships and each ranked second in the nation. school-record time of 7:53.08, and sits less than one second behind the best time in the nation at 7:52.42. Wessel is scheduled to run at 7:50 pm. Saturday Unlike Wissel, both Agatonov and Sultanova have had their nationals tickets punched for several weeks, but that hasn't stopped them from continuing their success week-to-week. Wissel, the 2006 Big 12 cross country champion and 2007 Big 12 indoor 3,000-meter champion, automatically qualified for his event March 3. Wissel broke out for a Sultanova cleared her career-best best of 14:00 50 She. 10 on the same runway she will perform on at 5 p.m. Saturday. Sultanova missed the 2006 season, but finished 10th at the 2005 Indoor Championships, clearing a height of 13-01.50. The junior took this year's Big 12 pole vault crown with a height of 13- 09.25. Agatonov enters Friday's competition with another career-best throw of 76-01 which won him the 2007 Big 12 weight throw. The junior also captured the Big 12 title in 2006 and finished second at last season's NCAA Championships with his first throw of 76-01. Agafonov automatically qualified for this year's championships on Jan. 27 at the Delfart Invitational in Albuquerque, N.M. Agafonov's throw is just four inches behind that of Auburn's Cory Martin. The competition takes place in Arkansas' Randal Tyson Track Center, one of the fastest tracks in the nation and the home of the NCAA Indoor National Championships since 2000.

Edited by Will McCullough OLD AGE James Crisn/ASSOCIATED PRESS *Retired thoroughbred racehorse John Henry grazes in a paddock near his stall March 2 at the Kentucky Horse Park near Lexington, Ky. The horse turns 32 today.* Grumpy old horse treks on Tenacious thoroughbred celebrates his 32nd birthday BY WILL GRAVES ASSOCIATED PRESS LEXINGTON, Ky. — John Henry is grumpy, in one of those "I don't care what you want, I'm not coming over" kind of moods. So no matter how many times one of the greatest thoroughbreds is offered a treat, he ignores it. Maybe he's not hungry. Maybe he sees a camaman from the corner of his eye. Maybe he's just playing hard to get. John Henry, horse racing's elder statesman and twice the Horse of the Year, turns 32 on Friday. That's the human equivalent of 96. Don't think that because his coat has grown long and shaggy that time has mellowed him. John Henry remains as grouchy as ever. Doesn't matter. He's simply not moving. The caretakers at Kentucky Horse Park's Hall of Champions have been waging a daily battle of wills with John Henry for more than two decades, and losing. "If he doesn't try to kill me at least "He's always been mean and nasty his whole life." Roby added. "He bites and kicks. He messes with you. It's his tenacity and his will to keep going." once a day, something's wrong," said Cathy Roby, the manager of the Hall of Champions, a small barn John Henry shares with a handful of other racing legends, including Cigar. The finish line doesn't appear in sight, either. Other than a scare with colic five years ago, he's been pretty healthy. He moves with a determined canter. His hair remains a dark brown, his mind as sharp as ever. "He's still a winner," said Hall of Fame jockey Chris McCarron, who helped John Henry retire as the richest horse in racing history in 1985. "Every time he has another birthday he's won another race." It's the same will that served him well during his record-setting career, when the gelding won more than two dozen stakes races, including the Arlington Million and the Santa Anita Handicap twice. Instead they have to find a way to box him into his 18-by-18 stall and force-feed him the medicine. John Henry has spent nearly 20 years with Roby but apparently has no intention of getting with the program to make the process relatively painless. "He won't eat his feed if he thinks he's got anything in it at all," Roby said. "Any other horse will just gobble it right down. Not John. We've tried to cover it up with molasses, applesauce or whatever and if he smells anything in his feed, he don't eat it." plays with his handlers when they try to give him his daily medicine. Consider the game John Henry Roby knows the ritual might be part of what keeps John Henry going. There aren't a lot of 32-year-old thoroughbreds around. Secretariat died at 19 and Seattle slew at 28. Seabiscuit, the horse to which John Henry is most often compared, died at 23. Whenever the horse nears his stall, he stands with his head facing out toward the paddock, giving him a clear escape route when Roby and company close in.

THE UP FRIDAY >> M B THE UNIVERSITY DAILY HANSAN SPORTS 7B 》 MLB Big-name players gain confidence Training intensifies as season draws near ASSOCIATED PRESS Sammy Sosa's chances of playing in the majors this season are looking better every day. The chances of Roger Clemens doing the same are — still — anybody's guess. Sosa homered for the second time in spring training, going 2-for-3 Wednesday in the Rangers' 9-8 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks at Surprise, Ariz. The 38-year-old Sosa, who didn't play in the major leagues last season, hit a three-run homer that capped a six-run third off former World Series MVP Livan Hernandez. "The more games I play, the better I feel," Sosa said. "The confidence is here, and I know I can hit. I believe in myself, and just keep working every day." The Rangers signed Sosa, who is fifth on the career list with 588 homers, to a minor league contract. Since going 0-for-3 with two strikeouts in a "B game Friday, Sosa is 5-for-12 with two homers and four RBIs in four games. Hernandez gave up nine runs — seven earned — and 10 hits in 3 innings. He struck out one and walked none. "I never have a good spring" Hernandez said. "I'm just coming to get my work in and make sure I'm 100 percent for the season." At Tampa, Fla. Clemens dropped by Legends Field to watch his friend and former teammate. Yettitte, make his second spring training start for the Yankees. And they both got a scare three pitches into the game. Pettitte got hit on the ring finger of his pitching hand by the barrel of Chris Denorfia's broken bat in the first. The bat caused a small cut on the finger, but the left-hander remained in the game. Clemens again said he hasn't decided if he will return for a 24th major league season. The seven-time Cy Young Award winner said he won't make a decision until early May. Should he return, Clemens will choose between the Yankees, Astros and Boston. He visited for a couple minutes with Yankees owner George Steinbrenner in the owner's suite. Mark Kotsay won't make his debut this season until at least May. The Oakland Athletics center fielder will have arthroscopic surgery on his back Thursday. He said there is no exact timetable for his return to the defending AL. West champions, but it likely will take eight to 12 weeks of recovery time. At Peoria, Ariz., Barry Bonds made a rare spring training trip and was in a jovial mood. Bonds went 1-for-2 with a double and a strikeout in a San Francisco Giants split squad's 5-4 win over the Seattle Mariners. He made the 45-minute trek across metropolitan Phoenix after missing three games because of a bad cold. He blew a kiss in the direction of the Mariners' dugout before his first at-bat, then blooped his second pitch from Felix Hernandez to shallow left field. As the ball landed between third baseman Mike Morse and left fielder Raul Ibanez, the 42-year-old Bonds kept running to second base. His popup slide easily beat Ibanez's throw, and seemed to surprise the Mariners and even his teammates. "Yeah, that was a good looking run," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "He feels great. He's happy with the way his legs are feeling." It showed. After Bengie Molina lined out to end the first inning, Bonds exchanged a smile and a handshake with Hernandez when their paths crossed at the third-base line. "How are you?" Bonds asked Hernandez. "That's never happened to me before," the 20 year-old Hernandez said, marveling. At Port St. Lucie, Fla., New York Mets ace Pedro Martinez threw a baseball for the first time since rotator cuff surgery last October. He lightly tossed a ball for about 10 minutes from a distance of about 45 feet at the Mets' minor league complex. "He looked good," said Randy Niemann, the Mets' rehabilitation pitching coordinator. "It's just the beginning. It's the start of a long process, but he looked really good." "I had a rough couple days," Benson said. "I don't know if it's a little bump that I'm going through or what, but the last couple days have been pretty sore. ... Whenever it gets flared up like it is, it's tough to get that range of motion." At Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Baltimore Orioles pitcher Kris Benson said he was experiencing increased soreness in his right shoulder, a development that means he may need surgery on his torn rotator cuff. In other games: Red Sox 9, Mets 5 At Fort Myers, Fla. Chan Ho Park started for the Mets after getting his visa. Signed as a free agent on Feb. 9, Park rebounded from a one-run first inning and allowed just a single in his other two. Cardinals 11, Dodgers (ss) 1 At Vero Beach, Fla., Los Angeles closer Takashi Saito made his spring training debut, pitching a scoreless fifth, Brad Penny gave up four runs, four singles and a walk in the first inning, then allowed Chris Duncan's two-run homer in the second.

Keystone Light 8B GAME DAY THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FRIDAY MARCH 9 2007 KU TIP-OFF WHAT'S AT STAKE? The Jayhawks need to win this game to stay in the running for a No.1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. From there, things get a little fuzzier. Some analysts think the Jayhawks have to win out this weekend to be a top seed, others think beating Oklahoma would be enough. STAR WATCH Freshman guard Sherron Collins. In a close late-game sit- Collins ation, all eyes will be on him as he tries to handle Okla-homas pressure defense. He had bursts of success in Norman, but ultimately junior guard Russell Robinson was given the ball in crunch time. It'll be a good early-March test for the freshman. QUESTION MARK CAN KANSAS PUT THE GAME AWAY EARLY? In an ideal world, the Jay- hawks will go into half-time with a double-digit lead, put the game away to start the second half, and be able to rest key players for the rest of the week-end. Otherwise, fatigue may become an issue on Sunday. 3 REASONS KILWINS TWO — Looking for No. 1. Kansas knows it needs a win to secure a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament, and that's one of this team's main goals for the season. Much like the Big 12 title, they're not going to let it slip away. **THREE** — Home-court advantage. The game may be in Oklahoma, but the Big 12 Tournament will always be a series of Jayhawk home games. It's also a homecoming for coach Bill Self, who is from the area. READY TO REPEAT COUNTDOWN TO TIP-OFF GAME DAY Kansas begins road to its second consecutive Big 12 Tournament KANSAS VS. OKLAHOMA 11:30 Today, Ford Center, ESPN+ Kansas 27-4 OFFENSE Only one thing worked for Oklahoma the last time these teams met, so you can expect lots of pressure defense today. Guards Sherron Collins and Russell Robinson will have to advance the ball up the court against double and triple-team defenses from the Sooners. If they can do it, there will be open teammates waiting on the other end. "We've got good ball handlers, but you can't dribble against two or three people," Collins said after the game in Norman. "Your teammates have to make the right cuts." That will likely be an easier task today as Oklahoma tries to find some energy after a close game against Iowa State less than 24 hours ago. KU KU KU KU DEFENSE The Big 10 Conference may have games that end with scoring in the 50's, but for my money, the Jayhawk defense is still the best in the country. If Kansas takes a big lead early, the unit may put on the brakes to save energy for a full weekend of basketball, that includes a possible Sunday showdown with either Texas or Texas A&M. Coach Bill Self said he wants his teams focused for the full 40 minutes so they don't drop possessions like they against Texas A&M in Lawrence. "We've learned that one-possession games will determine the success of our postseason," he said. "We've got to take advantage of each possession. Oklahoma 16-14 KU KU KU KU QQ OU If the Sooners had found a way to score in the first half against Kansas the first time they played, they would have won that game. Oklahoma doesn't have enough firepower on offense and goes through too many stretches where it has trouble scoring. That was evident against Iowa State yesterday. The Sooners managed a five-point victory but only after coughing up a 14-point lead. It's too late in the season now for anything to be corrected or for a star to develop. But if Oklahoma is able to play an entire 40 minutes offensively, it could be a tough out for Kansas. OFFENSE MOMENTUM The game may take place less than half an hour from Norman, but don't expect the crowd to be pro-Sooners. The Big 12 Tournament has always been a big event for Kansas boosters, and this weekend is unlikely to be any different. Self said that the biggest advantage will probably go to the other Oklahoma school. "I would think that Oklahoma State would, because their fans are really into it," he said. "OU will probably have an advantage over any team they play, but that's okay. I would think there will be a lot of Kansas people getting tickets to the game." The lunchtime tip-off will probably also keep some people away who won't get to Oklahoma until Friday night. DEFENSE Ask freshman Sherron Collins if Oklahoma's defense is any good. The Sooners used a full-court pressure that bothered Collins for the entire second half. Collins didn't score a point. But Collins wasn't alone, the full-court press hassled the entire Jayhawk offense. Kansas scored only 67 points and turned the ball over 16 times. The Sooners have used their defense to carry the team the entire season. It has never been their problem. Even during Oklahoma's six game losing streak, it held each opponent to 72 points or less. If he full court pressure is just as successful as it was in Norman, the Sooners will at least be able to stick around for the entire game. @ @ @ KU KU KU KU MOMENTUM — Michael Phillips Sasha It is tough to have a whole lot of momentum after coming off a six-game losing streak, but the Sooners have to be feeling pretty good about their chances. First, they finally ended the streak by defeating Iowa State yesterday. It wasn't a spectacular victory, but now they remember how to win. The biggest thing Oklahoma has going for it is the Ford Center. The Sooners are playing less than an hour away from campus. The fan support in Oklahoma City will be tremendous and spark Oklahoma. Finally, the Sooners played the Jayhawks better than any team since Texas A&M. They figured out how to stop Kansas the first time and have confidence that they will be able to do it again. QUQ Sasha Kaun Mark Dent OU TIP-OFF WHAT'S AT STAKE? The Season. If Oklahoma loses, it has to hop on I-35 and head back to Norman. There is no postseason guarantee for the Sooners. In fact, they don't have a chance for the postseason unless they win the Big 12 Tournament. At 16-14, the NIT is not going to be calling their number. STAR WATCH Senior guard/forwad Nate Carter Carter was Oklahoma's leading scorer during conference play and really improved while Longar Longar was Cawara Carter suspended and then struggled after his suspension. Against Iowa State yesterday, Carter scored 22 points and only made five field goals. The reason? He was 12-13 from the foul line. He needs to be able to drive and draw fouls against Kansas today for his team to be successful. QUESTION MARK CAN THE FULL COURT PRESS WORK AGAIN? There's no doubt that OU's pressure gave Kansas fits in the first meeting between these two teams. But hey, the Jayhawks are the No.2 team in the country. Surely they will know how to adjust the second time they see it. The Sooners have to find away to change and improve their full court press so it will surprise Kansas again. ONE — Ford Center Curse. Kansas could have some reservations about playing at the Ford Center. That's where the Jayhawks lost to Bucknell in the first round of the NCAA Tournament two years ago. TWO — Sooners' Postseason. This is it for Oklahoma. The Sooners will be playing all-out because this could be their last game. The Jayhawks could overlook the Sooners, who will be prepared to spring the upset. **THREE** — Jeff Capel. His old team, Virginia Commonwealth, is headed to the NCAA Tournament. Capel will want to prove he can not only assemble talent, but that he can coach it as well. He could do that by defeating Kansas. 3 REASONS OU WINS | Player | Avg.

Bill Self said Collins could have made a case as Kansas' best player for the first 14 conference games. Then against Oklahoma something happened. He couldn't penetrate or beat the press. For the first time, he looked flustered. Against Texas he didn't do much better, not scoring again. Collins did have five assists against the Longhorns, but his scoring is important for the Jayhawks to be successful later in the NCAA Tournament.

Residence hall students were recognized yesterday during the 2007 Academic Reception at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union for their achievements during the fall semester. The Association of University Residence Halls played host to the event for almost 400 students, but fewer than 30 came to be recognized. Carlos Martinez, AURH president, chuckled about the turnout. There was "no competing with KU basketball" he said. The students invited were in the top 5 percent for fall grade point averages. AURH held the event to congratulate the students' achievements, and encourage further hard work. "Recognition is important, there's no question about it," said Stanley Mugeki, AURH adviser and assistant director for residence life. "The programs we provide for residence hall students are intentionally for student success and integrity" Resident advisers teach programs throughout the year to help students learn how to study and cope with stress and health issues, Mugeki said. It is beneficial for students to live in halls because they interact with a diverse group of people and can help one another with their studies, he said. Paul Schumaker, professor of political science and keynote speaker, encouraged the students to think positively about every experience they have throughout college. He revealed that one of his best experiences was getting a "C" because he learned about professors and teaching techniques Then Schumaker compared learning to playing darts. "Think of your books and lectures as being assaulted by thousands and thousands of darts," Schumaker said. "Different ones stick for different students." Kasey Bowden, Topeka sophomore and award recipient, said the event was a great way to recognize students' academic achievements. She also gave some advice for students struggling with grades. "The most important thing is time management and good study habits," Bowden said. "It's really helped me to establish a relationship with my professors so I can get their help when I need it." As the director of community service for AURH, Bowden also encourages students to get exercise and take breaks from studying to stay on track. Mugeki said he hoped these students would use their hard work in leading others down the same path. "The residence halls are not just a place to sleep," Mugeki said. "The social and educational interaction is very important in learning from one another. They really grow from it." Kansan staff writer Katy Blair can be contacted at kblair@kansan. com. Edited by Carissa Pedigo 》 ROCK CHALK REVUE Students sacrifice studies for show BY KATY BLAIR There were sequenced costumes and synchronized dancing, but only one play stole the show. Rock Chalk Revue: Hawk Wild ended on a high note Saturday evening. The 58 annual variety show featured five skits that satirized pop culture from "Back to the Future" to "Pimp My Ride". The audience was rolling through endless wisecracks about cavemen, "Star Wars," and of course, college rivalries. "I'm goin' to Mizzou where everyone's ugly and it smells like poop!" said Junior, played by Tyler Kemp, in Although seemingly effortless, the 10 fraternities and sororites involved in the event spent months preparing for three nights of performances at the Lied Center. Dan Summerfelt, Mercer Island, Wash., senior, and Eugene in "Phantom of the Library," said practicing took a lot of time and effort. "Little Prom on the Prairie." "It was pretty taxing," said Summerfelt. "I haven't been to class in about two weeks. I'd get calls to come fix something and had to go." Summerfelt said that although the men of Theta Chi were stretched for time, they had fun performing and even found hidden talent in the fraternity. Finishing with a whopping 11 out of 14 awards for performance, the men and women of Kappa Kappa Gamma and Beta Theta Pi won Best Show with their play, "Til Dance Do Us Part." SEE REVUE ON PAGE 3A The play focused on a couple taking dance lessons for their wedding day, and the trouble that ensued after husband-to-be Phil, played by David Price, Salina senior, confessed he neither could nor wanted to dance. Laura Davis, St. Louis, senior, and director of "Til Dance Do Us Part", said every person brought their love for performance to the show.

THE DANCE HOUSE Spotlight on Organizations DanceSport "The most rewarding part of being in the group is watching everyone grow and develop their skills." Copeland said. BY JACQUE LUMSDEN Ballroom dancing may not be prevalent on campus, but with TV shows such as "So You Think You Can Dance" and "Dancing with the Stars," competitive dancing is becoming more popular across the nation. The group competes in three competitions a year. The biggest competition is in the fall, and two smaller competitions are in the spring. DanceSport is a campus group that competes in ballroom dancing competitions. The group competed March 3 in the Cyclone Ballroom Classic at Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa. In Ames, everyone from DanceSport placed in one of their events. Although the dancers attended the competition together, each individual was rated separately. The couples advanced to the next round based on performance.

POLITICAL CAMPAIGNS Voters look at candidates' characters before issues WASHINGTON — For all the policy blueprints churned out by presidential campaigns, there is this indisputable fact: People care less about issues than they do about a candidate's character. A new Associated Press-ip poll says 55 percent of those surveyed consider honesty, integrity and other values of character the most important qualities they look for in a presidential candidate. Just one-third look first to candidates' stances on issues; even fewer focus on leadership traits, experience or intelligence. Associated Press "Voters only look at policies as a lens into what type of person the candidate is," said Ken Mehlman, chairman of President Bush's 2004 re-election campaign. That campaign based its voter targeting and messaging strategies on the character-first theory.

Picture reflective aerosols shot by cannons into the polar area atmosphere to help grow ice sheets. What about a human-created volcano that pumps sulfur oxides through a giant hose stretching 25 miles above the earth? These are just a few of the fictious-sounding theories to quell global warming, proposed by some geoengineers who have a vision to control nature, said James Fleming, professor of science, technology and society at Colby College in Waterville, Maine. Fleming's seminar on Friday afternoon, "The Weather and Climate Engineers: Fantasies of Control," which took place at the Hall Center for the Humanities, tossed around radical ideas of human intervention of global warming — and their unrealistic qualities. "There's a gut-level sense that something's not right here," Fleming said. He described geoengineering as an insurance policy that could buy time if society waited to reduce carbon dioxide emissions until it was too late. He said many geoengineer's answers to global warming had the possibility of screwing up the environment on a large level — "almost like a Hiroshima effect," he said. These radical proposals would attempt to decrease incoming solar radiation by up to 2 percent to provide short-term offsets to long-term heating gains from greenhouse gases, like driving a truck with one foot on the gas and one on the brake. Fleming said. "Basically, temperature is not off the charts yet," he said, "but models show that it will be." Brian Drake, lecturer in humanities and western civilization, was one member of the 15-person crowd that attended the seminar. He said most climate reports and proposals seemed idealistic, using military technology and yet-to-be-created technology. However, these biological solutions had their limitations, such as the extent of arable land and water deficiency to keep the sprawling forests alive, Fleming said. Past proposals also included an increase in forest land to counteract a rise in carbon dioxide levels. While scientists warn of an impending "tipping point" in the climate system, the general public is also nearing a sociological one that will allow clean energy solutions to be seen as the norm rather than an alternative. Fleming said. Geoengineers can also use the "tipping point" as a ticket to intervene, he said. Fleming said the planet needed an eco-technic future, which means using environmentally-friendly technology in order to minimize the human influence on global warming. He said history, ethics, science and public policy needed to interact as equal partners to understand the full dimensions of global warming.

SafeBus would not run during the summer because of the lack of students in Lawrence, Cox said. The bill was tabled in Senate com mittees because of a variety of concerns. Jessica Mortinger, Hays senior and Transportation Board chairwoman, said there were still things to be worked out before SafeBus would be run at the University. The board discussed the bill only days before it went to committees, and were left with many questions. "We're concerned about liability, FTA regulations, safety, cost analysis, camera pricing options, support/ acceptance from administration, a written plan for addressing safety concerns, security personnel cost on buses plus regulations," Mortinger said. SafeBus was proposed as an election platform for Ignite last spring. Because Ignite dissolved earlier this semester, Cox will be running with Delta Force this spring. Cox said that he planned to petition the committees by collecting 1.000 signatures by March 14. If Cox collects the signatures, a referendum asking students to approve a $3 increase to the SafeRide fee will be put on the ballot for the elections on April 11 and 12. If Cox is unable to collect the needed signatures, the bill will not go on the ballot this spring. The next opportunity to take SafeBus to a student vote would be next year, pushing back implementation to Fall 2008. It was just a matter of getting Kate Kingsberry, Boulder, Colo., junior, said SafeBus was a good idea. student support for funding and securing a contractor to provide the service. Cox said. "It would cut down on drunk driving and you could plan your night around the bus route," Kingsbery said. Sara DeLine, Lincoln, Neb., junior, shared Kingsbery's ideas about SafeBus. "Due to the lack of public transportation, there aren't a lot of options to get home," DeLine said. Kansan staff writer Ashlee Kieler can be contacted at akieler@kansan.com.

On March 12,2006, KU students and Lawrence residents alike experienced a freak wind storm that left the KU campus and parts of Lawrence in shambles. One year later, The Kansan looks back at the microburst that closed campus and downed power lines. On-campus communication challenging in bad weather BY ERICK R. SCHMIDT Steve Engleman had seen enough. He was ready to take cover. "It was scary!" Engleman said. "It looked like someone took a zipper and just unzipped it." Engleman, a building services employee at the Kansas Union, was on duty the Sunday morning last March when a microburst toore through campus. He and a coworker watched from a window as winds ripped tree limbs and strewn shingles everywhere. He said the experience could be summed up in one word. "Lucky," Engleman said. "We're really lucky nobody was around." Only one injury was reported The vastness of the 1,000-acre campus presents its own set of obstacles. Steeples said. on campus that day, thanks in part to the timely response of the KU Public Safety Office and a warning system that Engleman said worked proficiently in the moments following the storm. Entrance to campus was quickly blocked off, and because it happened in the early morning hours, potential personal damages were kept to a minimum. "There's no direct communication into classrooms," he said. "The assumption is that most people can read the signs." Operations and the academic deans to communicate a plan of response. The deans call department chairs to notify faculty. Don Steeples, vice provost for scholarly support, agreed that the University was lucky the storm happened so early in the morning, but that steps were in place to make sure the same sort of safety would be offered in a worst-case scenario. When severe weather threatens the city, Steeples said a "calling tree" was enacted. Officials in the provost's office call Facilities Lime green signs throughout campus buildings instruct students to stay indoors, go to the lowest floor of the building, stay in interior hallways and stay away from exterior doors and windows. Kathleen McCluskey-Fawcett, senior vice provost, said it was impossible to reach out to everyone individually because of the sheer volume of traffic on campus. "It's basically a city within a city with the population density." McCluskey-Fawcett said. The next step in campus emergency safety, she said could be a text-message warning system that would automatically alert anyone on campus that bad weather was approaching. Those plans are being discussed but have no timeline for enaction. Campus safety is in the hands of KU Public Safety and the Lawrence Police Department, according to the emergency plan listed on the KU Public Safety Office's Web site. The plan consists of a chain of command from the top down, covering individual buildings as well. Pat Beard, director of building services for the Kansas Memorial Unions, said his office was part of a standard operating procedure that the University followed in case of emergency. Beard said all Union employees had a list of duties and responsibilities to follow if an emergency were to arise during busy campus hours. Beard said employees brushed up on their roles at weekly departmental meetings. "We want to make sure we're in the right mindset for whistles and alarms when they go off," Beard said. Kansan staff writer Erick R. Schmidt can be contacted at eschmidt@kansan.com. Edited by Katie Sullivan Many campus trees fell victim to last year's microburst. According to KUInfo, about 100 trees were destroyed during the brief but powerful storm. Brian Ervin/CONTRIBUTED PHOTO With a little help from my friends I was sleeping in that morning in my room in Templin Hall. I woke up to a strong gust of wind blowing against the window, and right about then, the lights went out and the tornado siren went off. I took the siren to mean I should probably head toward the basement, so I did. A chaotic scene, the basement was full of confused people, half-awake, and a few people less than dressed. At least one girl was down there in a bath towel. Eventually, after they allowed us to go back up to our rooms, we huddled around the television, watching the news trying to figure out what was going on. Afterward, we went outside to survey the damage to our cars because machinery had been blown off the building and debris had flown around the parking lot. My passenger window was shattered, my trunk would no longer open and there were dents and tar all over my car. My friends came out with a trash bag to put over my broken window and helped me clear the broken glass out of the way. At this point, we were not allowed to re-enter the hall because of a gas leak, so my entire floor went to the dining hall en masse to discuss the strange situation and wonder when things would get back to normal. Dan Holmes Olathe sophomore The basics on a microburst: How it differs from a tornado Microbursts in Kansas are as common as tornadoes but aren't normally as powerful as Lawrence's microburst last year, Donna Tucker, associate professor of atmospheric science, said. "Most microbursts are of the weaker variety,"Tucker said."One of the stronger variety is less common." A tornado, which has circular-spinning winds, forms in the updraft of a thunderstorm, whereas a microburst, formed in a thunderstorm's downdraft, is a localized column of air with winds speeding downward to the ground, she said. "It hits the earth's surface and goes splat." Tucker said. When the splat occurs, winds are forced to blow outward, sometimes causing significant damage, she said. Microbursts typically last two to four minutes.

KANSAN FILE PHOTO Power, coffee scarce after storm The sound of the wind woke me up that morning. I opened my eyes and saw that the sky was orange, which is ominous in the evening, but worse in the morning. I opened the blinds and looked out the window. The tree in front of the window was blowing around in circles. I thought I should turn on the radio to see what was happening and, at that moment, the power went out. I got up, went out to the porch and saw the damage in my yard. My boyfriend was at work, but his brother — our roommate — was home. We could hear the popping of power transformers all around. My cousin, who lives on the west side of Lawrence, came by to survey the damage and search for coffee; their power went out before they could make any. We finally found out Z's Espresso, 1800 E 23rd St., was still up and running. By the time my cousins got home, their power was back on. Ours was out until 8 or 9 Tuesday night. We had to put bags of ice in our fridge to keep the food from spoiling.

Winds cause rude awakening I was dead asleep in the wee hours of the morning when I was awakened by my girlfriend who was trying to tell me something was wrong with the weather. I, in my stubborn native Kansan-ness, tried to tell her that it was probably nothing worth getting worried over, and I tried to go back to sleep. I couldn't. All of a sudden out of the dead silence there was a chorus of plastic beer cups blowing all in unison from the direction of the bars down 14th Street. One thing I didn't hear, though, was a tornado siren. The wind picked up before I could react. As I looked out the window I could see roof tiles and branches being ripped from the houses and trees. The debris was moving in a wide, circular motion. In my underwear, I ran to the bottom floor of the apartment only to find there was no basement. And then, just like that, it was over. I threw on some clothes, grabbed my camera and went to assess the damage. Ian Horner 2006 graduate ...

That's about $233,000 for every one of the legendary 300 Spartan soldiers who fought off a much larger Persian force in the epic battle. "On a Spartan-by Spartan basis, that's a lot of money," said Paul Dergarabedian, president of box-office tracker Media By Numbers "Summer came a little early, because this is a summer-style opening." The number of movie-goers for the Warner Bros. epic "300" out-numbered crowds for the rest of the top-10 movies combined. If the estimate holds when final numbers are released Monday, "300" would break the record for best March debut ever, topping the $68 million haul for "Ice Age: The Meltdown" last year. "300" bumped off the previous weekend's No. 1 movie, Disney's "Wild Hogs", which slipped to second place but held up well with $28 million, raising its total to $77.4 million. "300" played in 3,103 theaters, about 850 fewer than the "Ice Age' sequel, making its box-office performance even more notable. It averaged $22,647 a theater, a The total for "300" includes $3.4 million from 62 IMAX theaters, a record opening weekend for the large-screen format. whopping number for a wide release. "300," adapted from Frank Miller's graphic novel, stars Gerard Butler as Leonidas, king of the Greek city-state of Sparta, who leads his vastly outnumbered men against the Persian invaders. 》 HOROSCOPE Associated Press 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.

ERVIN: Think being Irish just takes drinking Guinness? Think again. Here are 10 easy steps to a more Irish you,just in time for St.Patrick's Day. MONDAY, MARCH 12, 2007 WWW.KANSAN.COM See Kansan.com for more opinions and Free for All comments THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN OPINION PAGE 9A 》 OUR VIEW Students have no excuse to not vote Voting is often deemed "performing one's civic duties." But sometimes, we just aren't in the mood to fulfill a duty. We get tired. We have other plans. We have to watch the game. Voting isn't at the top of a student's priority list, especially voting for campus elections. However, KU students have, or should have, learned that voting does affect them. Various decisions made by Student Senate have effects that trickle down and drip on the heads of nearly every student. So maybe it wouldn't be such a waste to leave Guitar Hero on pause for 20 minutes to head to campus and vote. Luckily, students won't even have to pause their games to vote in the Student Senate elections this year. Now students can not only vote in between classes on a campus computer, but also from the comfort, or disarray, of their own homes. The Ramen noodles won't even be done in the microwave before you're done voting. Online voting is quick, simple and convenient. If cleaning a bathroom only took two minutes, surely more people would do it. A dirty bathroom not only dissuades overnight guests, but forces you to live in a mess of your own making. Voting is the same way. It's not the most fun thing to do, but if you don't vote you can't complain about the end result. Properly cleaning a bathroom in two minutes is next to impossible. Effectively voting online in two minutes is a definite reality. This year all students should feel motivated to perform their civic duties. — Tasha Riggins for the editorial board. KANSAS ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT MONOPOLY ATOMOS JOE KALLEE JAIL SQUARE 6-31 Picking sides in religious, geographical conflicts leads how-to-be-Irish guide With St. Patrick's Day on the horizon, many of you non-Irish are probably worrying about how to live up to the task of being Irish for a day. Never fear, for 1, Kansan columnist and experienced Irishman, am here to teach you the basics. I know what you're thinking —what else is there to being Irish than drinking Guinness and fighting in bars? First of all, we fight in pubs. Note the important lexical distinction and experience the difference. The Red Lyon Tavern, 944 Massachusetts St., boasts a pub-like atmosphere, only it's clean and well lit. What? You thought wed take our business to the Hawk? whiskey, too. And our expanded beer choices include Harp, Killian's, Murphy's Irish Stout and Erin's Rock, which boasts a picture of 11th-century king and my name-sake, Brian Boru, right on the bottle. Think of me while you drink it If you're up to the challenge, here are 10 steps to a more Irish you. 1. Familiarize yourself with the unique geography of the island. Ireland is actually split up into two different countries – the Republic of Ireland, which I like to call Ireland Classic, and Northern Ireland, which is ruled by Great Britain and can be thought of as Diet Ireland. Secondly, we drink a lot of Protestants live mostly up north. Ireland has been the center of bloody religious and political tensions for centuries, so choose carefully 2. Catholics? Protestant? Pick a side. Catholics are the majority in the Republic of Ireland while the 3. If you chose the Republic of ALEXANDER Ireland, learn to hate England. Curse the Queen. Fly the Union Jack upside down – it'll look the same but only you'll know the defiance underneath, because when it comes to imperialistic takeovers, nobody's worse than England. BY BRIAN ERVIN However, if you chose Northern Ireland, accept the British Empire and go see "The Queen." I hear Helen Mirren is bloody brilliant. KANSAN COLUMNIST OPINION@KANSAN.COM Also, some Northern Irish wear orange on Saint Patrick's Day, so be prepared to be pinched a lot. 4. Eat a lot of potatoes. Black Donnelly's" tonight at 9 after "Heroes" on NBC. The series premiered two weeks ago to much acclaim by yours truly. You can download the first episode free on iTunes. Afterwards try a marathon of movies like 2007 Academy Award best picture "The Departed," cult favorite "Boondock Saints" and the star-studded "Sleepers." 5. Watch "The 7. Buy an Irish flag to hang in your house or dorm room. Everyone who enters will appreciate and be fooled by the pride in your "heritage." 8. Go to the parade at 1 p.m. Saturday on Massachusetts Street. Although it's not as grand as the century-and-a-half long celebration in Kansas City, last year it had a dog that was shaved and dyed to look like a dragon. And that's pretty cool. 9. Blather with your skins, or friends, about your weekend sheanigans with some handy Irish slang. For instance, if you were out of condoms when you met that girl with questionable morals at the bar, say "I was getting pissed up at the pub when I met a scrubber, but realized I was out of johnies." Check out irishslang.co.za for more 10. Check out Notre Dame football Internet message boards. Who will take the helm of the offense after losing Brady Quinn to graduation? Will Charlie Weis win his malpractice lawsuit? is "Rudy" the all-time greatest sports movie ever? Unfortunately I have no advice on how to make your skin pale and freckly overnight, and dying your hair red for a day may be drastic. But taking these steps will certainly get you started. I won't advocate bar violence, but if you want to, because everybody else will be doing it, you can be stereotypical and stock up on Guinness. 6. Read James Joyce. COMMENTARY Ervin is a junior in theatre and film and psychology. March isn't just for basketball The madness of March is here, but there is a lot more than basketball going on. For those of you who need more than brackets and Dickey V. or are just generally sick of hearing old white men calling Darrell Arthur "Shady", check out the Women's History Month events all around Lawrence. Women's history month began in the 1970s when, according the National Women's History Project, "women's history was virtually an unknown topic in general public consciousness." Like many great things, women's history month started small and blossomed into the month-long celebration it is today. While the United States has progressed dramatically since the 1970s in terms of gender relations and gender understanding, there is still more to be done. For example, according to statistics from U.S. Department of Labor, the number of women who work outside the home has risen from 5.1 million in 1900, to 18.4 million in 1950, to 65.7 million in 2005. The number is projected to reach nearly 76 million by 2014. P. J. K. B. BY LIZ STUEWE KANSAN COLUMNIST ORBITON@KANSAN.COM This is an amazing increase; however, if you look at the breakdown of the statistics you can still see a clear gender bias in the types of jobs women get. The Department for Professional Employees reported that in 2005, 92 percent of registered nurses, 82 percent of all elementary and middle school teachers, and 98 percent of all preschool and kindergarten teachers were women. To celebrate amazing women, the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center has put together a free calendar of local events honoring women. The calendar includes events sponsored by the Lied Center, Student Union Activities, the Hall Center and many more. it includes comedian Alexandra McHale's performance at the Kansas Union and lectures by Ann Cudd, professor of women's studies. The You can pick up a copy of the calendar, featuring pictures of Frida Kahlo, Amelia Earlhart and Eleanor Roosevelt at the Student Involvement and Leadership Center at room 400 in the Kansas Union. events are designed to broaden the understanding of what it means to be a woman. I have been asked repeatedly about the necessity of women's history month. And the National Women's History Project Web site says it the best: "the knowledge of women's history provides a more expansive vision of what a woman can do." This perspective can encourage girls and women to think larger and bolder and can give boys and men a fuller understanding of the female experience." Understanding women and women's history is a crucial part of any college education. So take a small break from basketball this March and appreciate how hard women have worked and how far they have come. Stuewe is a Lawrence junior in political science and American studies.

Finishing in 32nd place, her time of 1:58.82 beat her previous season-best by nearly a second and capped a weekend that saw her two teammates race to top-30 finishes. The Kansas swimming and diving team concluded its season Saturday with three swimmers contributing strong finishes in the Division I NCAA Championships in Minneapolis, Minn. The Jayhawks strong showing in this year's championships points to a bright future for the program. Not only did Kansas qualify its most swimmers since 1998, it entered the event riding a third-place finish in the Big 12 Championships. Sophomore Danielle Herrmann achieved hers on Friday when she placed 25th in the 100-yard breaststroke. The following day freshman Ashley Robinson swam to a 29th place finish in the 1,650-yd freestyle event.

Kansas will take a week off before starting the outdoor season March 25 in Tulsa, Okla., for the Hurricane Invitational. Agafonov takes home title After finishing second in the weight throw at the 2006 NCAA Indoor Championships, junior Egor Agafonov admitted that he was not the best competitor on that day. On Friday, Agafonov left no doubt who was the best in 2007. The 2006 and 2007 Big 12 Conference champion used his second throw to toss a career-best 77-05.25, good enough to give Agathonov his first national championship. "This is the biggest win of my life. I can't really describe how I am feeling right now", Agafonov said in a press release. "I haven't let it set in yet, but I am very glad that I have won such a big event." "Today's events will definitely serve as motivation for the outdoor season." Wissel said in a press release. "You only get a day or so to lick your wounds and then you have to get back out there." Agafonov and the layhawks' assistant throws coach. Andy Kokhanowsky, knew that setting an early tone could make the difference. The mental edge of getting his winning throw early gave Agatonov an advantage against Auburn's Cory Martin, who finished second at 76-04 25. Colby Wissel used his finishing kick to take seventh in the 3,000-meter, but overall the 2007 Big 12 champion wasn't satisfied with his performance Saturday. The school record-holder in the event finished with a time of 7:58.42.

Kansas defeated New Mexico, 4-0, to win the 2020 Jayhawk invitational. Jayhawks take tournament title BY EVAN KAFARAKIS It may not have been pretty, but senior pitcher Kassie Humphreys threw a complete game no-hitter in the championship game of the Jayhawks Invitational as the Jayhawks defeated the New Mexico Lobos 4-0. The Jayhawks (15-7-1) played in front of 445 fans Sunday in Arrocha Ballpark, the first time they played at home all season. "We're tired of being on the road," coach Tracy Bunge said. "It's tough on the kids being on the road, and it's nice to play in our ballpark and sleep in our own beds," she said. Humphreys faced 19 batters in the game, striking out eight. Although she pitched a great game, Humphreys walked seven batters and was often behind in the pitch count. nunge said that when Humphreys was off mechanically, it was sloppy "It didn't feel like a no-hitter because there were runners on base often," Humphreys said. Humphreys hit a home run on an inside pitch in the bottom of the fifth inning. "When she was bad, she was wild, but when she was good, she was really good." The team totaled eight hits throughout the game with sophomore shortstop Stevie Crisosto batting a team high three hits. Crisosto went 3-for-3 and scored two runs. "We really battled this weekend," Humphreys said. "The defense was amazing and we had great base running." Bunge said she was pleased with the team overall on the weekend. "We didn't wow, but did good things," she said.

Well, we don't know vet. Kansas (30-4) was deemed the fourth best. No. 1 seed, meaning it will face the winner of the play-in game, which will be between Niagara (22-11) and Florida A&M (21-13) Tuesday night. "I'm not sure that's all bad. We had that when I was at Illinois" coach Bill Self said. "I think we need to step back and take a breath, get our batteries recharged." The Jayhawks will face the winner on Friday in Chicago. "The good thing about it is that playing on Sunday, we get an extra day," Self said. "Monday will be an off day, Tuesday we'll look at Villanova and Kentucky a little bit, then after Tuesday night we can focus on the winner of the game." Looking ahead and imagining various scenarios are activities synonymous with March Madness, and there's plenty to analyze in the lavahwks bracket. If Kansas wins Friday, it faces the winner of Villanova (22-10) and Kentucky (21-11) on Sunday. Kentucky is a big-name team that hasn't fared as well as it would have liked this season. "We're more familiar with Kentucky because we played them last year," sophomore guard Mario Chalerms said. "I tell you what," he said, "I hope we play illinois, because that means we both won two games. I don't pull against those guys at all." The second weekend would take place in San Jose, Calif. Illinois enters as a 12 seed, but Self's old school would catch the Jaylwaters if they could pull a pair of upsets. The odds favor a Kansas game against Southern Illinois (27-6). The Salukis were the dominant team in the Missouri Valley Conference this season. On the bottom half of the bracket are Pittsburgh (27-7) and UCLA (26-5). The Bruins have a homestate advantage, as their opening round is in Sacramento and the second round would be in San Jose. Most analysts listed them as the No.1 seed in the West, but they lost on the opening day of the Pacific-10 tournament, which, combined with Kansas' tournament victory, may have cost them the top seed. Nationally, the tournament selection committee pulled an upset of its own by selecting Florida (29-5) as the best team in America instead of Ohio State, which was ranked No. 1 in both national polls. "We've had that two years in a row now, with Colorado not being chosen last year," he said. "Our conference had three of the best five teams in college basketball this season." In the Big 12 Conference, the surprise story was Kansas State (22-11) not making the tournament, a decision that Self called "ridiculous." Sunday's game was further proof of the high-calibre of play at the top of the Big 12, and it almost overshadowed the selection show itself. By the time the layjacks had finished cutting down the nets, the show was beginning. "I checked my watch, and thought, "We've got to end this right now," Self joked. "We've just got to be ready for that first game," sophomore forward Julian Wright said. The layhawks will have plenty of time to analyze the bracket in the coming days, but they refused to do much speculation on Sunday, citing historical precedent.

"It's just amazing to be a part of something like that." --created a high-demand ticket. Having the top seed has its perks, and the Jayhawks spent the weekend in the New Orleans Hornets' locker room, usually inhabited by the NBA team that moved after Hurricane Katrina. "I like it a lot," sophomore guard Brandon Rush said. "This is an NBA room, so there's big chairs and couches and lots of space." It was also an improvement from the room they got last year in Dallas. When fitting 12 schools into an arena where usually two teams play, sacrifices were made. The lajhawks ended up in an auxiliary locker room that was lacking in amenities like personal space. "This is another level," he said. "I'm surprised they don't have more than this." Still, sophomore guard Mario Chalmers was surprised that the Hornets didn't get the luxuries that have become common among NBA teams — things like plasma TVs and card tables. All the players were impressed, though, by one feature that must have been a welcome sight after a year of hotel rooms. The showers were of NBA calibration, including nozzles that were high enough for even the tallest players. When he woke up Monday morning, the Big 12 Tournament was the farthest thing from Darrell Arthur's mind. He woke up with a sharp pain in his chest and struggled to breathe. He feared he may have been suffering a heart attack. After calling his mom, he walked from his lajayawk Towers apartment to the Allen Fieldhouse trainer's room. From there, he was driven to the hospital, where doctors told him he was suffering from a lung virus. As the virus cleared up, doctors cleared him to gradually increase his playing time, going from 10 minutes on Friday to near-full participation on Sunday. "It was a little gas that got caught inside and made it hard for me to breathe." Arthur said. "They said it was just a mild virus that was going to be gone by the end of the week." It was a rough weekend medically for Arthur, as his playing time was interrupted when he took a knee to the groin during Sunday's game. "He tried to come back and give it a go, but they felt that he had a pretty good bruise," coach Bill Selt said. "He's just going to have to grind it out and play through it, because we need him." "I think the virus is out now," he said. "I've got to go to the doctor in the morning for more tests." I thought my ears were playing tricks on me, so I did a double-take. Sure enough, I had heard the man correctly. The scalper had two fingers thrust into the air. "I need two for the women's game," he velled at nobody in particular. Perhaps the best sign that Oklahoma City welcomed the Big 12 Tournament with open arms is this: the women played to sellout crowds all week, with tickets for the final game selling for twice what they were initially worth. --created a high-demand ticket. It was the first time the city had hosted the tournament, and the throngs of Oklahomans combined with the visiting swarm from Kansas The hottest were for Saturday's men's games, featuring both Kansas and Oklahoma State. Keith Preston, Valley Center graduate student, made the five-hour drive to the arena with his wife. Valerie, but the two watched the game on a television set up outside. The ticket market boomed when hometown favorites Oklahoma State upset Texas A&M on Friday night. Anticipating some fans would leave, tournament organizers sold 13,000 tickets to the championship game, which took place in the 11,000-seat Cox Convention Center. Organizers guessed correctly, and the stadium was packed as Oklahoma defeated Iowa State. "We'll try to buy tickets after a team loses," he said. "Right now, it's too expensive. They're asking for $100." After the game, the party moved down the street to Bricktown, where jawhawk fans dominated the area bars. "There's a lot of stuff to if you're 21, David Piatt. Needs deaher seni, said. Back at their hotel on Friday and Saturday, the Jayhawks passed the time between games. "We just get off our feet for a while and enjoy the win," freshman guard Sherron Collins said. "We'll go to the hotel and be around each other." Unlike other teams, the Jayhawks aren't surprised when they win. --in the NCAA tournament West Region. Coach Bill Self said they treated the first two victories with a business-like attitude instead of partying. "They're just ready to get back to their rooms and play PlayStation," he ioked. With Kansas playing early in the day, the players had the afternoons to themselves while the assistant coaches remained at the Ford Center to scout out the opponent. During dinner, the coaches showed video of the next opponent, stopping occasionally to offer insights into possible match-ups and weaknesses. Self said that this year's team was particularly good about keeping its focus in hectic situations like the tournament. "If our guys aren't focused, then we won't have a chance to go very far," he said. "So many things could throw your focus off. It could be agents, runners, media requests, friends, girlfriends, family members, tickets, cell phones. All of the sudden you start trying to be something to a lot of people, and you've lost it." That hasn't happened to this year's team. Left to themselves after the scouting session, the players didn't tear up the town. "You've got to get away from basket, ball for a while," Robinson said. "We'll watch a movie and play some cards." Now that two of their big goals have been achieved, they head to Chicago to chase a third. Perfection is the goal in March, as the Jayhawks begin to put their regular season success behind them. Their new chant was unveiled after Self brought down the last pieces of the net. It's simple, but catchy. --in the NCAA tournament West Region. "I love the way this team is playing," sophomore guard Brandon Rush said. "Everything is going perfect right now. We're playing well on defense and on offense, and we're running up the court like we're supposed to" Throughout the season, the Jayhawks finished their huddles by yelling "Big 12 champs" in unison. Last weekend, they shifted their battle cry to "tournament champs". "National champs." Kansan senior sportwriter Michael Phillips can be contacted at mphillips@kansan.com.

Coming off one of the most impressive wins in the Big 12 Tournament against Texas, 88-84, Kansas deserves, and needs, some rest. Douglas M. BY DREW DAVISON KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST DDAVISON@KANSAN.COM Sophomore guard Brandon Rush took over the game Sunday to carry the jayhawks to back-to-back postseason conference championships Rush, who played 44 of the 45 minutes against Texas, not only scored 19 points, but played great defense on Texas freshman sensation Kevin Durant. "I tried to pressure him; make him use his right hand a lot more," Rush said. THE | It worked. Durant had 19 of his 37 points at the 7:37 mark in the first half. Then Rush began guarding him. Now, the layhawks' focus shifts from winning the Big 12 to winning the NCAA tournament. Rush and his team overcame the best college basketball player in the country and cut down the nets for a second time this season, locking up a No.1 seed. Upsets happen all the time in the tournament, but not in the No. 1 vs. No. 16 match-up. The West Region appears to have favorable match-ups for the Jayhawks. But, realistically, two or three teams in the country have the talent and depth of Kansas, those being Florida, North Carolina and, arguably, Ohio State. The potential second-round match-up for the layhawks will be against recognizable basketball programs, Kentucky and Villanova. Kentucky has Randolph Morris Free first After two first round exits, however, Self and his team aren't looking ahead. and Villanova has Scottie Reynolds, both great players. Outside of them, neither team poses any glaring problems for Kansas. "We got to stay focused on what we are trying to do and that's get past the first round." Rush said. Self and his team have four days to rest up after an exciting weekend in Oklahoma City. "I really am not that fired up right now." Self said. "But. I will be" Come Friday, the team and the fans will be too.

Wright added 19 points and brought down eight rebounds to help Kansas win in overtime, 88-84. view from press row We may have seen the emergence of an aggressive Brandon Rush this weekend. There have been false alarms in the past, but this week-end the sophomore guard seemed more comfortable with the role. It started at halftime of Friday's game, when he was urged to become more forceful with his shooting. Usually it's just coach Bill Self telling him that, but on Friday his teammates chimed in as well, and Rush took over during the second half. It was a rough weekend for junior center Sasha Kaun, who got kicked in the face on Saturday and took a hard fall during the second half on Sunday. He's a fighter and didn't leave for the locker room after either incident. > It wouldn't be Press Row if I didn't mention how awesome Kevin Durant is. The man was worth the price of admission all by himself. During Saturday's game, Durant's parents sat with Boston Celtics' scout Danny Ainge. The Celtics are currently the second-worst team in the NBA, putting them in prime position to draft Durant. > Best poster ever: "The people behind me can't see. Go Jayhawks!" One of the annual rituals at the Big 12 Tournament is for coaches to lobby for teams in the conference who are "on the bubble" to make the NCAA tournament. This year, the other coaches went to bat for Kansas State. Self pointed out that the three best teams in the Big 12 — Kansas, Texas and Texas A&M — would all go into the tournament as top seeds, and it was ridiculous to suggest that the fourth-best team in the conference was somehow much worst than those three. K-State coach Bob Huggins couldn't avoid the issue all week, but in the end his lobbying didn't pay off: The Wildcats did not make the tournament.. > Want to know about the Jayhawks free-throw shooting woes? Don't ask Self. "We talked about it as a staff on the bench that we weren't going to talk about free-throw shooting," the Kansas coach said Friday. "Sometimes the more you talk about missing short putts or free-throw shooting, the more it gets in your head." Kansas needs to do something and in a hurry. The Jayhawks made only 50 percent of their free throws on Friday, a number that is unacceptable toward the end of the season. Texas Tech fell to K-State, ending the Red Raiders' tournament run. After the Big 12 game, Texas Tech coach Bob Knight put on one last show before leaving Oklahoma City. He was asked why the Red Raiders were unable to get anything going offensively. "I don't know," Knight said. "We may have eaten the wrong cereal. We may not have had proper lighting in the locker room. Or maybe Kansas State was pretty damn good defensively." Sherron Collins is back, and it couldn't come at a better time. The Jayhawks are deep enough inside, but there will be times during the tournament where they'll rely on the freshman guard to handle the ball. My favorite part of any big tournament is the Million-Dollar-Mega-Bonus-Corporate-Sponsor shot. Phillips 66 sponsors the one at the Big 12 Tournament and brings its mascot, Captain Proclean. He is a giant cartoon version of a gas pump and must be at least a little scary to young children. This year's contestant didn't win, but last year's did. Later that night, the winner was in the lobby of the tournament hotel and was buying drinks for everyone while his giant novelty check sat nearby. - Michael Phillips Kansas closes 22-point gap to defeat Texas BY MARK DENT Darnell jackson slowly climbed up the ladder, snipped a piece of the net and smiled at his friends and family in the stands. They watched excitedly as the junior forward celebrated his team's second straight Big 12 Tournament Championship just as they had earlier when he blocked Texas guard D.J. Augustin and sank two big free throws down the stretch. But the clutch play in front of the hometown didn't make Jackson cocky. He knew Kansas' 30-4 season and championship were about more than his performance at the end. "No heroes, there's no heroes on this team," Jackson said. "It just feels really good to win." The lajhawks may not have heroes, but they do have several players like Jackson who can step up. Kansas battled back from a 22-point deficit and 37 points from Texas forward Kevin Durant for an 88-84 victory. It was the biggest comeback in school history and the lajhawks' fifth Big 12 Tournament Championship. "Guy after guy made big play," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "Julian played out of foul trouble and made some big plays. Mario was kind of laboring around and the next thing you know he controls the game for a short period of time. And Darnell stepped up." including 18 in the second half and overtime, but his biggest contribution came near the very end. Jackson played 26 minutes. With 13 seconds left and the Longhorns down 84-81, Augustin shook his defender and appeared to have a clear path to the basket. Jackson, who was playing a defense designed to free him for blocks, shied off his man and approached Augustin. "I just told myself if he drives to jump straight in the air and not foul him," Jackson said. "He let it go, and I ended up coming up with a blocked shot." No.2 Kansas 88, No.15 Texas 84 OT He also came up with the ball. Jackson caught it, got fouled by Augustin and sank both of his free throws. The shots stretched Kansas' lead to five, and a late three-pointer by Texas didn't matter. Jackson only sealed the deal. He wouldn't have had the chance if not for Mario Chalmers. The sophomore guard made a three-pointer with about 13 seconds left. He peeled off a screen from sophome forward Julian Wright and had a wide-open look. Texas had to focus on those two because they had been equally as hot. Freshman guard Sherron Collins broke out of a slump in a big way with 20 points and three assists. "It was the biggest thrill of my life." Chalmers said. "They focused more on Brandon and Sherron and left me wide open."

Like he did earlier this season at Kansas State and Missouri, Collins played his best in a close, important game. "We had no chance to win unless he was real good today," Self said. "He was fabulous. Today he just felt like the game was his. I love it when he's in the attack mode like that." The only performer better than Collins Sunday, Self said, was Durant. Sophomore guard Brandon Rush spent most of the day trying to stop the Texas freshman. Durant started strongly just like he did against Kansas on March 3. He scored 22 points in the first 15 minutes of the first half. After that, Rush didn't allow him to make another field goal until nearly midway through the second half. "Durant has the quick release" junior guard Russell Robinson said. "I think Brandon was able to take Durant's absence from the scoreboard allowed Kansas to come back. The Longhorns' reliance on one player was one of the major reasons they lost. That's not something the Jayhawks will have to worry about as they prepare for a run in the NCAA tournament. They've found out all season and especially on Sunday that they have plenty of guys who can make a difference. away the shot and take away the drive." Kansan sportswriter Mark Dent can be contacted at mdent@kansan.com. "Everyone feels like they can produce and help the team." Wright said.

ALUMNI ASSOCIATION TRADITION KU ALUMNI ASSOCIATION KEEPERS 8B BASEBALL THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN MONDAY MARCH 12, 2007 Runs come too late for win Weak sixth inning for the Jayhawks locks in victory for Razorbacks BY ALISSA BAUER FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Danny Hamblin stepped to the plate in the bottom of the sixth looking at two teammates on base and one out against them. Hitting 155, the Razorbacks first base man could've been a quick end to a quick inning. That home run would be all No. 10 Arkansas (13-5) would need to defeat Kansas (11-8), 5-2 on Sunday and complete the series sweep. Hamlin belted a three-run shot to center field. "It was just like a couple pitches missed here and there," s o p h o m e "I think we've just got to keep battling. It's going to come together." pitcher Andy Marks said. "Before you know it, they've got two guys on and nobody out. A good team like that will always take advantage." Missed opportunities were the theme most of the weekend, particularly on Sunday. However, for the majority of the game the layhawks, led by Marks, had the same effect on the Razorbacks. In the opening innings it was apparent that both offenses were merely feeling out the opposing pitchers, coming up with a random hit or walk. Marks sat guys down in order early and Razorback starter Shaun Seilbert struck out the side in the third. But as the game continued, the hits came on strong, walks became more frequent and errors started showing up. Rims, however, were nowhere to be found. Until the sixth. The Razorbacks led off their big inning with a pair of walks. Shortstop Tim Smalling, who had a productive day with a hit, a run and two RBI singled in the first run of the day. "I felt like I was doing a really good job until I walked those two guys in the sixth inning." Marks said. "Those will always come back to kill you." Hamblin's blast followed to highlight the four run sixth. The home run was devastating to a Kansas squad struggling to score runs of its own, but Price didn't place blame anywhere. He continued to praise his starting pitcher's effort. JOHN ALLMAN Outfielder "We had a long sixth inning, obviously, with runners in scoring position," Price said. "For whatever reason when he went back out, he lost his command and walked the first two guys and kind of set the tone. But I was really thrilled with him. I think that's as tough and competitive as he been since he's been at our place." Arkansas put another up in the bottom of the eighth, again off the bat of Smalling, but wouldn't need it. Although Kansas out hit its opponent, 9-8 on Sunday, the Jayhawks simply could not score. "I think for our guys, you've got to go up there and look fastball and adjust off speed." Price said. "And not get punched out strike three with runners in scoring position. That's the first time we really seen a quality opponent do that." Price was right, as a quality opponent Arkansas did just that, collecting 31 strikeouts this weekend, 11 of which were on Sunday. A far cry from the seven strikeouts-per-game goal that Price is looking for. In the top of the eighth, Kansas had switched from preventing the sweep and instead prevented the shut out. Sophomore first baseman Preston Land walked with the bases loaded to score junior left fielder John Allman for the layhawks first run of the day. Allman led the day's offense. After snapping his 10-game hit streak on Friday night, Allman was productive for the rest of the series. His 3-for-4 performance on Sunday was his seventh multi-hit game of 2007. Unwilling to surrender, Kansas made a final push in its last at bat. Freshman third baseman Robby Price doubled down the right field line, extending his hit streak to 11 games. Junior outfielder Brock Simpson's sharp groundball to second was ruled an error, but still scored Price. Though it wasn't enough, Price and his team didn't travel back to Lawrence on Sunday night hauling only negatives. In fact, some of the Jayhawks know their team hasn't even got started. "I think we've just got to keep battling." Allan said "It's going to come together. We've got all the pieces, we've just got to put them all together. It's just a matter of time before it happens and once it happens we'll start cooking. We're fine, there's no reason to panic just yet."

With any kind of run support behind Czyz on Saturday, Kansas would have been in position to steal the series on Sunday. for the rest of the season. Facing No. 10 Arkansas (13-5) last weekend, Kansas (11-8) saw mixed results out of its rotation, comprised of left-handers junior Zach Ashwood and sophomores Nick Czvz and Andy Marks. Despite their youth, the sophmores stepped up to put Kansas in position to take two of three from Arkansas. The lajhawks were looking to salvage the series with a victory on Sunday after losing the first two games. Marks gave them every opportunity. After five innings, the Razorbacks had yet to score. Unfortunately, the same was true for the lajhawks. When Marks came out in the sixth, he finally gave out, being charged with four runs. Those four runs and the loss he was handed overshadowed an otherwise solid outing. He recorded six strikeouts in the first five innings and a seventh in the fateful sixth innning. "We run two sophomores out there on Saturday and Sunday and when you're playing nationally ranked opponents, you're asking a lot of those guys". Price said. "I knew if I could keep putting up zeroes that wed score eventually." Marks said, undeterred by a lack of run support. "It's always nice to score first, we've been working from behind a lot, but it just didn't work out today." NICK CZYZ Pitcher Crzyz did everything in his power to make that happen. He threw seven stellar innings, allowing just one run and striking out seven Razorbacks. He allowed a leadoff single and walked the second batter in the eighth, and was taken out of the game. He was charged with two more runs when they scored later in the inning. Still with no offensive support, the damage had been done, wasting a gutys performance from Czvz. "Those are the situations he's going to be in," Price said. "He's going to be pitching against the first or second guys on people's staffs. It was a tremendous performance by him." "I just stayed confident," CZVz said. "The entire time I just kept telling myself that was the last run that was going to score. You've got to stay positive out there when the stuff's hitting the fan." On Friday, the eldest of the weekend starters struggled severely. Ashwood gave Kansas four decent innings, allowing two runs, but he didn't survive the fifth. Crys's performance gave Price even more faith that the sophomore can be one of his go-to guys in big games. "The concern is our bullpen is our strength and if you take him out of the bullpen than we really short our bullpen on a weekend series." Price said on Friday. "At the same time, we can't continue to keep giving five, six and seven runs up against nationally ranked opponents." The transfer from Texas Christian University was shelled for five more runs, negating a five-run Kansas inning in the top of the fifth. Once Ashwood was replaced by junior right-hander Andres Esquibel, Arkansas' bats cooled off. Esquibel pitched 2 1/3 innings and allowed an unearned run. Kansan senior sportswriter Shawn Shroyer can be contacted at shsroyer@kansan.com. Esquibel has been dependable out of the bullpen all season and may now be making a push for a starting spot. In 19 1/3 innings pitched this season, he leads Kansas with a 1.40 ERA to go with his 2-0 record. Edited by Katie Sullivan Diamond Studs – Sophomore starting pitchers Nick Czyz and Andy Marks kept Kansas in Saturday and Sunday's games. Excluding the last inning each one appeared in during their respective starts, the two combined for 13 strikeouts in 15 innings and allowed only one run. With some run support, the pair would have made it out of the series with victories. Diamond Studs Diamond Dud Sophomore first baseman Preston Land was 0-for-7 after the first two games of the series and didn't start on Sunday. He did come off the bench, though, to record his first hit of the series and drove in a run with a bases-loaded walk. — Shawn Shroyer CAMPUS COURT AT NAISMITH FOR AUGUST MOVE-INS: Free iPod or gift with pre-lease Perfect for roommates Washer/dryer in each unit Walking/bus line to campus Free wireless internet Indoor basketball court Fitness room Tanning bed Gated community Brand new interior Newly renovated Campus Court at Naismith 1301 W.24th St.Lawrence,KS 60046 www.campuscourtatnaismith.com 785.842.5111 1 & 2 bedroom apartments $599-$725 Great Floorplans!

THE UNIVERSITY DAIRY KANSAN SPORTS 9B >> PGA TOUR Unlikely golfer victorious DOUG FERGUSON ASSOCIATED PRESS PALM HARBOR, Fla. — Mark Calcavecchia might have to unpack his bags again, this time to make room for an unlikely trophy. Calcavechia, ready to leave Innisbrook after opening with a 75, survived a wild swing in emotions Sunday and won the PODS Championship when Heath Slocum missed a 4-foot par putt on the final hole. Calcavechia closed with a 1-under 70 and never lost the lead, but his stomach was churning the whole way around. He had a two-shot lead and stood over a 4-foot burtle pitched on the 15th hole that he missed, then had to hang on for dear life. With Calcavecchia ahead by one shot, his 8-iron came up short of the 18th green and he missed a 7-foot par putt. Slocum needed only to make par from 4 feet to force a playoff. The putt dived in and out of the cup on the left side, and Calcavecchia bowed his head and cupped his cap. "I was all over the place," he said. "I never expected him to miss that." Calcavechia won for the 13th time in his career and with $954,000 went past $20 million for his career. He finished at 10-under 274. Getting a nice cut of that paycheck is his caddie, Eric Larson, who got caught up in a small-time drug operation and was sent to prison for 11 years. Calcaveccia said he would put him back to work when he got out of jail, and they've been together the last year. "He's been a great friend throughout the whole ordeal," said Larson, one of the most likable loopers on tour. "I'm thankful and grateful for my friends who stood by me." It was a big blow for Slocum, who rallied from a wretched start to close with a 71. He played on the same Milton High School team in the Florida Panhandle as Boo Weekley, who last week missed a 3-foot par putt to win the Honda Classic. Slocum and John Senden, who closed with a 66, shared second at 275. Lucas Glover, among five players who had a share of the lead at some point on a sunny afternoon, three-putted the 18th in a bold bid to make birdie to keep alive his hopes. He wound up with a 69 and tied for fourth with Brian Gay (69). Charles Howell III shot 65 and was another shot behind with defending champion KJ. Choi (72). It was awild week for Calcavechia, a streaky player who showed both sides in the final round. A triple bogey-bogey finish Thursday that sent him to a 75 — with 36 putts, no less — made him pack his bags so he could get an early start on traffic when he missed the cut the next day. But using a putter he bought last weekend for $256.18 — he knows the price because he rarely buys any club — he shot 67, then tied the course record with a 62 in the third round to share the lead. The final 18 holes featured long putts and short misses. He figured the last one might cost him. Having hit a beautiful tee shot on the 18th, he hung his head while his 8-iron was still in the air, knowing it wasn't enough. It came up a yard short in grass so thick that Larson had to show him where it was. Calcavechia chopped it out to 7 feet, and his par putt caught the right lip. Slocum had a 25-foot birdie putt that was difficult because the ball picks up speed around the hole. He left it short, then missed the most crucial one of the day. The victory was the first for the 46-year-old Calcavecchia since the 2005 Canadian Open. It put him into the World Golf Championship at Doral in two weeks, and gives him an outside shot of qualifying for the Masters. Calcavecchia moved up to 7 on the money list, and the top 10 after Doral get into the Masters. From the time he stuffed his approach to 2 feet on the second hole for birdie, Calcavecchia never lost the lead, and he built the margin to three shots when he knocked in a 10-foot birdie on the tough sixth hole to reach 11 under. Four holes later, he was in a three-way tie. Calkaveechia missed the eighth and 10th green to make bogeys, while Senden and Glover were quietly picking off enough birdies to join him atop the leaderboard at 9 under. Calcavecchia regained the lead by laying up on the par-5 11th and hitting wedge into 3 feet, then holed a 30-foot birdie putt from the fringe on the 13th and a 20-foot birdie putt on the 14th to seize control — only to lose momentum by missing a 4-foot birdie on the 15th that might have sealed the victory. Not many would have guessed Stoucum would be there to battle him down the stretch after his double bogey on No. 2 He was four shots behind going to the back nine. But he didn't make any mistakes the rest of the way, firing off three straight birdies to get back into contention, and pulling within one shot when Calcavecchia bogeyed the 16th.

He allowed just three hits and struck out eight. Both Kansas (11-7) and Arkansas (12-5) put up just four hits, but it was Arkansas who struck hits, walks and errors together. In the battle of the Nicks, All-American Schmidt came on top, but the lines looked nearly identical until the top of the eighth. > Bottom 2-With the bases loaded, Czyz walked first base man Danny Hamblin to score third baseman Logan Forsythe. Czyz smoothly worked himself out of the jam when he got a double play to end the inning. > Bottom 8th: After a controversial infield hit, ruled first as an effort, sophomore right-hander Paul Smyth came in to relieve Czyz. Czyz had already thrown two balls to shortstop Matt Willard, and Smyth threw two more to walk Willard.

The error scored the inning's lead-off Dugger scored off the only bonafide hit of the inning as Forsythe singled up the middle. The unearned run was charged to Smyth, his first run allowed this season. batter, pushing Arkansas's lead to 3-0.

Manager Tony La Russa had been hopeful that Eckstein, limited to two at bats this spring by a recurrence of an injury that caused him to miss 26 games last year, could play on Sunday against the Braves. Eckstein said his return was delayed another two days because Sunday was the first day he ran full-speed. Hes been out since the day after the spring opener on March 1 and the plan calls for him to get two or three at bats on Tuesday. The Cardinals likely would open the year with So Taguchi in center field if Edmundo, 36, needs more time. He's playing catchup after being in a walking cast for about a month due to the surgery to correct a condition that required daily numbing injections to get him through the postseason.

Lawrence may not be as much of an international business hub as those coastal cities, but the University of Kansas and Lawrence connections shared by the people in charge of the company's U.S. branch helped make Lawrence a logical choice. "It raises a general awareness that we have some cool stuff going on in this area, in Lawrence," said Joe Casad, editor-in-chief for Linux New Media USA. Casad and Bria the U.S. company, are University alumni, and Rikki Kite, managing editor, is a graduate student in the School of Journalism. Linux New Media USA, 719 Massachusetts St., launched at the beginning of the month. lishes 11 magazines about the Linux computer-operating system in six different languages, making it the Its Munich, Germany based parent company, Linux New Media, pub "It raises a general awareness that we have some cool stuff going on in this area, in Lawrence."

The Lawrence office will gather content and manage the publication of Linux Magazine, the company's international English-language publica Linux New Media's connections with Lawrence and the University began after Osborn went to study in Germany shortly after graduating from the University in 1990. Osborn's involvement in extracurricular groups during his time at the University helped him make contacts with many local and national businesses, including a publishing business that hired him to study the European market while he was abroad. "I can directly relate my entry into the publishing business and, therefore, this new business in Lawrence, to extracurricular activity while at KU." Osborn said. He said that studying abroad and other out-of-class activities were the most important part of his education at the University. SAFETY While working in Germany, Osborn became acquainted with Linux New Media and its publications. The company hired Osborn about five years ago to help with an effort to expand internationally. Osborn said Lawrence made a logical location for the U.S. office because Casad and Kite lived there and costs were lower than in larger cities. He also said that he valued Lawrence's "Midwest way of life" which he included integrity which he said included integrity.

Matt Tornow was in his apartment playing his brand new Wii for the first time. He was trying to figure out how to perform a power-serve in a Wii tennis game. Tornow gripped his Wii remote, slammed a powerful overhead swing and ended up in a Lawrence Memorial Hospital emergency room. Tornow, Sioux Falls, S.D., senior, smashed his remote into one three glass light bulb covers hanging from a ceiling fan. Shards of glass stabbed into his right thumb, splitting his nail in half. At the hospital, doctors and nurses gave him novacaine, peeled back the skin at the base of his cuticle and removed chunks of glass piece-by-piece with tweezers. Andrew Conyers, Kansas City, Kan., freshman, sports a sling he must wear while tending a torn bicep. He injured his arm during an intense WI baseball name. Tornow is not the only person who has had bad experiences with his Nintendo-manufactured Wii. Gamers around the country have been reporting Wii-related injuries to Web sites such as www.withaveproblem.com. Andrew Conyers, Kansas City, Kan., freshman, injured himself playing a friend's Wii. Like Tornow, it was Conyers' first time playing. He said he was playing a baseball game and grasped his remote with both hands, like a bat, and swung with all his might. "Then my arm felt kind of weird and tingly and numb." Conyers said. "I noticed that when I flexed I had two bumps instead of one" Conyers went to Watkins Memorial Health Center the next day and discovered he had torn his right bicep. The staff at Watkins gave him a sling for the arm and told him to do special exercises while the tear healed.

This is the question many people are pondering about James Cameron's documentary on finding the tomb of Jesus. Is it for the fame or the truth? Paul Mirecki, associate professor of religious studies, said the remains are an issue of interpretation. "The names scratched into the boxes were very common names for Jews during the 1st century" Mirecki said. He said that although it was custom to write only the first name, a person of this magnitude would have had further information on their tombs. Jesus is written in Aramaic on one coffin, Marianne, a version of Mary Magdalene, in Greek on another, and Maria, another name for Mary on a third. The tombs of Joseph and James, two of Jesus' brothers according to Matthew 13:55, were also found. The limestone coffins, or ossuaries, that were discovered have only the first names inscribed on their surface. These names correlate with factual and disputed members of Jesus' family. Commotion centers mostly around Judah, who some religious scholars believe was the son of Jesus, and James, the brother of Jesus. The tomb of James is inscribed with "brother of Jesus," but the writing was found to be forged. Mirecki, who specializes in analyzing ancient scrolls and texts, said the problem would be proving that this is not another Jewish family by standard scientific method. Several scientists would have to properly perform experiments to prove Cameron's hypothesis genetically. be studied. An important part of ancient DNA analysis is making sure the samples were not contaminated by human hair or skin, which would make them useless. Alan Redd, assistant professor of anthropology and DNA specialist, said testing white chromosomes can prove a paternal relationship among men. Additionally, testing the mitochondrial DNA can prove relations in the maternal line, male and female. John Hoopes, associate professor of anthropology, said DNA from remains as old as 20,000 years can Cameron's team of researchers were allowed to analyze bone fragments and residue from Mary SEE TOMBS ON PAGE 3A 10 》 ENVIRONMENT Guide to tell students how to save Earth, cash KU Environs to compile 'green' tips BY BRIAN LEWIS-JONES Martin is working with the group, researching and compiling environmentally thrity suggestions. He said anybody is welcome to help create the booklet, which is scheduled to be released by the end of the semester. A group of KU Environs members will compile a free informational booklet this semester with simple suggestions about how students can be environmentally friendly and save money at the same time. The Lawrence Environmental Consumer Guide, created by the group of students, will help people be aware of consumption and contain user-friendly methods of conservation, said Ashton Martin, De Soto senior and consumer guide coordinator. "We didn't want to overwhelm people with too much information," Martin said. "We want to offer clear, concise and feasible alternatives." Nicole Reiz, Wichita senior and president of KU Environs, said most suggestions wouldn't require the reader to make a lifestyle change The new consumer guide by the KU Environs group will help students save money using simple methods, like washing clothes in cold water or using compact fluorescent light bulbs, Martin said. - simple actions like purchasing biodegradable dishwasher detergent or organic foods could contribute to environmental sustainability. "Just a small group of people can make a pretty big difference," Retz said. She said the booklet was being revamped to include the up-to-date "green" innovations, such as new biodegradable products and information on new hybrid cars. "When you have a guide to reference to, you have a lot more action," Reiz said. The previous consumer guide, which KU Environs put out two years ago, included information like tips to keep your car running efficiently, locate recycling locations and how to dispose of cleaning supplies.

An almost forgotten attraction is Potter Lake. To many students, this is just the location of many postgame victory celebrations, but the lake has much more to offer and a history many students know nothing about. POTTER LAKE BY AMANDA EMERY Katie Goron, a KU Ambassador said, "After first being constructed the lake was much larger and much deeper and at the time the lake was the only location on campus used for a swimming facility. The lake was also used as a means for emergency situations, such as fires on campus. In 1924, a diving tower and pier, springboards and dressing rooms AccordingtheUniversityArchives, this lake was an attraction for swimmers when it was first constructed in 1910. The lake was named after T.M. Potter, a former member of the Kansas Board of Regents. were constructed as well. However, in 1927 after several fatal mishaps, swimming in the lake was banned altogether." Through the years, the lake has become much more shallow, and it is no longer used in emergencies. After the lake was closed to swimmers there were a few people who used it for fishing and ice skating but these are no longer allowed because of the shallow depth and safety risks. The lake today is used mainly as a beautiful addition to the scenery on campus, a great place to take a nap on a blanket on a warm spring day and the site of wedding receptions for many happy couples. But most of us still associate the lake with the "March of the Goal Post" after a victorious game in Memorial Stadium. Maddie Herman, freshman, said that her favorite memory was "after the Kansas State game this year when we beat them 39-20 and watching the other students carry the posts down to the lake and throwing them in" Edited by Sharla Shivers Hydro-homework Michiko Takei/KANSAN ALEXANDRA MAYER Katie Cheeley, Lenaex sophomore, crawls at the indoor swimming pool in Robinson Center Monday afternoon.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN TUESDAY MARCH 3, 2007 NEWS 3A POLITICS Chavez to Bush: 'Gringo, go home' BY STEVENSON JACOBS ASSOCIATED PRESS PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez shadowed his political foil President Bush on a tour of Western Hemisphere nations, stopping Monday in Haiti after passing through Jamaica to promote aid packages and discuss development projects. Chavez, who left Nicaragua as crowds greeted Bush in Guatemala, was met by Haitian President Rene Preval and several thousand cheering supporters outside the Port-au-Prince airport. Many waved Venezuelaan flags, while some chanted "Down with Bush. long live Chavez!" Chavez came to discuss a $20 million fund announced last week by Venezuela's state-run development bank to provide humanitarian aid to Haiti and develop joint cooperation projects with the hemisphere's poorest nation. Earlier, Chavez made an unannounced stop in Jamaica. He had a "short working visit" with Jamaican Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller, the country's first female prime minister, said Wilton Dyer of the Foreign Affairs Ministry. Haiti similarly benefits from Petrocaribe The program, widely seen as an effort by Chavez to make inroads in a region where the United States is a major trading partner, allows deferred payment and long-term financing for fuel shipments. Preval, a Chavez ally, relies heavily on U.S. aid. The United States, Haiti's largest donor, last year pledged a $492 million aid package aimed at helping the country recover from a devastating 2004 revolt that ousted former President Jean-Bertrand Aristide. Chavez appears intent on spoiling Bush's tour of Latin America. In Nicaragua on Sunday, Chavez chanted his anti-Bush mantra of "gringo go home" at a rally with President Daniel Ortega. As Bush traveled to Guatemala on Sunday evening, Chavez and Ortega went to the city of Leon, where they left flowers at the tomb of poet Ruben Dario and announced that Venezuela would build an oil refinery nearby. Cheered by thousands, Chavez said Bush's tour was a failure. "Latin Americans are telling you: 'Gringo, go home!' he said. While Bush has declined to even mention the Venezuelan leader's name in public, Chavez has peppered his speeches with gibes at his rival. Sunday's appearance in El Alto, Bolivia — 13,100 feet above sea level — was no different. On Friday, he held a stadium rally in the Argentine capital of Buenos Aires and then headed to Bolivia flood-ravaged lowlands on Saturday to tout his pledge of $15 million in disaster aid — 10 times that sent by the United States. Bush's plane "doesn't dare" fly over the Andean city, Chavez said, "because here we are so high up he might think that we were going to reach up and grab him." AGRICULTURE Corn seed shortage affects Kansas farmers WICHITA — With ethanol demand driving corn prices to the levels not seen in a decade, the nation's farmers are gearing up to plant massive amounts of the crop this spring, creating shortages of some popular biotech hybrid seeds. While growers should still be able to find plenty of corn seed to plant, it may not be the variety developed for their season or bred with the genetic modifications they want to combat insects and diseases in their region, experts said. "It is a nationwide problem. One reason it is so severe in Kansas is that a lot of the seed available for us is being used to replace cotton acres in Texas and Mississippi. But the shortage is nationwide. They are facing the same problems that we are," said Terry Vinduska, the sales representative for Pioneer Hybrid International in Marion. Kansas farmers do not typically plant the varieties of corn favored by Corn Belt growers farther north, Vinduska said. Farmers here need corn hybrids bred to resist local pests and to tolerate blistering hot summers that can wilt even irrigated crops. Those popular varieties were sold out before Thanksgiving, Vinduska said. Those are the same kinds of hybrids southern growers in the nation's Cotton Belt want. Many acres of cotton are going to be planted to corn this year rather than cotton, Vinduska said, noting the price of corn is close to double what it was at this time last year. Associated Press METEOROLOGY New tornado damage scale to increase safety WICHITA — Meteorologists compare the Enhanced Fujita Scale that is being used for better tornado damage assessment to switching a black-and-white TV for a high-definition screen. The revised system promises to be far more detailed than its predecessor, which was introduced more than 30 years ago. The "EF Scale" can provide a better measure of a tornado's damage potential, he said, which could lead to more detailed warnings as tornadoes form and move along the ground. The Enhanced Fujita Scale officially went into effect Feb. 1 and has already been used to assess early season tornadoes in Florida, Louisiana and elsewhere. The new Fujita scale uses 28 indicators to measure damage, with several different degrees of damage possible within each indicator, including trees, commercial buildings, manufactured homes, and houses built with metal or wood. Wii (CONTINUED FROM 1A) Associated Press Patty Quinlan, Watkins spokeswoman, and Belinda Rehmer, Lawrence Memorial Hospital spokeswoman, said their institutions did not keep count of Wii-related injuries, but said people had come in for treatment. They said that their facilities kept count of injuries by complaint, such as wrist, arm or leg, but not by cause. Rehmer said she had spoken with a doctor who said he had treated someone for a Wii-related eye injury. Tornow and Conyers both said that their first impressions with the Wii would not dissuade them from playing again. "I will play Wii again, but not with so much vigor," Conyers said. Tornow said he would just make sure he had a little bit more room. Kansan staff writer Nathan Gill can be contacted at ngill@kansan.com. Edited by Joe Caponio Magdalene and lesus, which disproved any genetic relationship Because of their proximity to one another in the tomb, Cameron hypothesized that these people were most likely married. Even so, matrimonial relationships cannot be scientifically proven, which makes his hypothesis speculation. In his documentary, Cameron said Redd said that either test could be used on the remains of Judah to prove a relationship between Jesus and Mary Magdalene. However, he added that links to the supposed family of Jesus would be difficult to make without knowledge of their last names. Even if those three people were genetically related, it could not be proven without written record or genetic evidence from ancestors of the family. Additionally, Redd said he would not trust that the remains are not contaminated because it seems that they have been moved a lot. members of the Orthodox community in Jerusalem demanded his team not interfere with the integrity of the artifacts. They said the community will not let them analyze the bones, only the remnants that have broken off from the supposed remains of Jesus and Mary Magdalene. The bones will be returned to Orthodox community members for rebursal without extracting any DNA. Kansan staff writer Katy Blair can be contacted at kblar@akansan.com. Redd said the real problem with these claims is that they have yet to be peer-reviewed for factual evidence. TOMB (CONTINUED FROM 1A) Edited by Joe Caponio "Right now, this is just a bunch of speculation and story-telling." Redd said. "There may very well be some science behind it, but wed like to see the evidence."

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN OPINION PAGE 5A 》 OUR VIEW Student Senate partially to blame for low voter turnout Representative governments, however humble their constituencies, thrive on reciprocity. For a system to function smoothly, both representative and represented must participate in the policy-making process. One side's refusal or reluctance to engage the other can deaden the process and stem the tide of progress. Such a case was lately evident on our campus. Student Senate was recently forced to pass a bus fee increase after a campus-wide vote failed to draw a quorum of student voters. Special elections, or even the general elections of Senate members, have never been famous for their overwhelming turnout. But this latest debate, from which the student voice was largely absent, is a troubling development in our campus governance. As advocated in this space yesterday, it is incumbent upon students to cast their vote on issues that directly affect their tuition bills and campus lifestyles. However, the Senate also has a responsibility to adequately publicize these elections, and to take steps to ensure that a student voice is indeed heard. Though the election was by no means a secret or surprise, it was not uncommon to see more promotion for that day's drink specials than proclamations of that day's vote. Endless elections, held again and again until a sufficient student turnout is achieved, is an unappealing prospect. But we suggest that in the future, the Senate give these important referendums one more chance before the student voters. before the student voter. Repeat elections are no doubt difficult and daunting in terms of both cost and effort, but such is the price of engaging the distracted student voter. For a representative government to fructify, extra steps are sometimes necessary. are sometimes a common complaint about young voters is that our apathetic disinterest in politics and policy renders efforts to connect with us either worthless or wasteful. We are all eager to dispel such notions, but wholly inadequate turnout at the most simple of elections, especially given the range and ease of voting methods, speaks poorly of our true commitment to changing this stereotype. If we tune out the machinations of politics at an accessible local level, what becomes of our engagement on a national level after graduation? We are not here to issue a collective apologia for the poor turnout of students, nor to excoriate Senate for taking action in lieu of a student voice. But the Senate should examine options for staging "mulligan elections" when their noble efforts and lackluster promotions fail to attract the already detached student voter. — McKay Stangler for the editorial board. COMMENTARY Dangers await the careless in Lawrence Lawrence feels safe: A liberal, laid-back college town in the Midwest, with no big cities for miles down Interstate 70. Unfortunately, just because we feel safe, doesn't mean we are. While studying abroad in Spain, I went to a national celebration called Las Fallas. More than two-million Spaniards and travelers gather in Valencia, a large city on the eastern coast of Spain, for this celebration. Throughout that day my friends and I each had an acute sense of awareness as we were in a new place, experiencing new things, among people we didn't know. When we propelled ourselves through the overwhelming crowd ed streets, we left our purses safely on the bus. We kept our things in our fleece pockets, which were zipped tightly. We kept our eyes open and were aware of our surroundings. Nothing was stolen. BY ABBY HUGHES KANSAN COLUMNIST OPINION@KANSAN.COM This weekend, in safe, familiar Lawrence, that was not the case. I had friends visit for their last time before my graduation in May. I smiled proudly, showing them all of the traditional sites in Lawrence: The dorms I lived in freshman and sophomore years; Kokoro's, the Sake-bombing capital of the city; and good-old Allen Fieldhouse, I awoke from this rose-colored tour by an alarm I had not expected: My roommate's purse was stolen at It's Brother's. It's Brother's is a crowded bar, which is clear to anyone who drives down Massachusetts Street and sees the line outside the door on Friday or Saturday night. We all held onto our jackets and purses at the bar, and never mentioned that we should keep an eye out for our things. My roommate set her purse down for one minute, and when she went to pick it up, she had lost everything except a Dunkin' Donuts punch card and a business card. But more than the items she lost, she felt violated. She was in her hometown. With her friends. Having fun. Her safety and comfort in this place allowed her to let her guard down. After canceling credit cards, scouring Massachusetts Street for the lost items and buying a new phone, we called it quits, assuming filing a police report would only result in more wasted time. If you have a sense of security from low crime rates in Lawrence, know that my roommate's failure to file a report is the norm. An article from Criminal Justice and Behavior magazine said that although many victims of crime in college discussed these incidents with friends, they rarely filed police reports. Thus, crime statistics are reliable in comparing crime from one city to another as they will have the same ratio of unreported crimes to population, but not to evaluate safety in one city, Lawrence, alone. Don't let yourself bask in a false sense of security. Always be aware of your surroundings, even in quaint Midwest Lawrence. Hughes is a St. Louis senior in journalism.

BILOGICAL DIFFERENCE BILOGICAL DIFFERENCE GRS Grant Snider/KANSAN COMMENTARY Speedy restaurant service ruins meals A few weeks ago a major dining chain dashed my hopes for a pleasant dinner conversation. We had just sat down and begun to talk when suddenly our waitress was beside us asking if we were ready to order. We picked items from the menu, but almost before we had remembered what we came to discuss, the food was coming off a tray and being dropped on the table A friend who has worked at this restaurant told me that they have 10 to 14 minutes to get food out to the table. Anything beyond that, and the manager has to come out and talk to the waiting customers. BY SAM SCHNEIDER BY SAM SCHNEIDER KANSAN COLUMNIST OPINION@KANSAN.COM True, some people want to eat fast. Drive by Taco Bell at midnight and you'll see a line of cars wrapped around its drive-through. while there are times to eat quickly, I'm against the entire concept of eating only to check off the next thing on a to-do list. Even fast food doesn't have to be about speed. Consider McDonald's at 7 on a weekday morning. You'll find a crowd of retirees with cups of coffee steaming silently on the tables. They laugh slowly and talk of Chevy truck engines and their days in Korea. You couldn't hurry these people out of the building if it were on fire. In the United States, we seem to expect food served to us minutes after we order, and we force today's People will always need a place that allows them to eat and exit, but I urge all of you who enjoy talking to your friends to seek out and support those restaurants which pride themselves in the experience of eating rather than the speed of service I've found this atmosphere most often in local places like Mad Greek, WheatFields Bakery and Cafe and A.B.S. Coffee and Crepes. The next time you go out to eat, look for the most leisurely service you can find.

They argue that Republicans running Congress during Bush's first six years conducted almost no oversight as the administration went to war. Shabby conditions at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, secret national security letters for gaining access to people's financial records and a warrantless wiretapping program all point to White House misuse of executive power and secrecy in the war against terrorism. Democrats contend. WASHINGTON — House Democrats hope to breathe new life into open-government legislation, marking Sunshine Week with votes to protect whistle-blowers, smooth freedom of information requests and compel presidential libraries to disclose more about their donors. Efforts to shield reporters from revealing their sources are not faring so well. The House is to vote on as many as five bills coinciding with this week's annual campaign by open-government advocates to draw attention to a need for accessibility and accountability in the fight against abuse and waste. 》 Require government agencies to disclose the reasons for awarding no-bid contracts. Majority Democrats want to use the five bills to highlight what they say is the Bush administration's use of executive power and secrecy, 》 Provide whistle-blower protection to workers who regularly handle classified information, including private contractors and scientists. » Require organizations established for the purpose of raising funds for presidential libraries to disclose the sources of contributions of $200 or more. » Make it harder for current and former presidents to withhold presidential records.

Not receiving a vote this week will be legislation that would shield reporters from being forced by prosecutors to reveal their sources or face jail. Advocates say whistle blowers are less likely to expose abuse if reporters can be compelled to reveal their sources. "I suppose you can make an argument that the entire Judith Miller Valerie Plame matter did not advance this cause very much," said Otis L. Sanford, chairman of the First Amendment Committee for the Associated Press Managing Editors Association. "However, in my view it would be wrong to push for, or reject, valid legislation based on one incident." In several hearings last year, Justice Department officials argued that national security interests should trump freedom of information concerns if disclosure of information would make the country less sate. Bush, who in 2005 acknowledged a "suspicion" that his administration was too security-conscious, issued an executive order that year designed to speed the governments response time to freedom of information requests. The order designated a chief FOIA officer, a FOIA requester service center and public liaisons to receive complaints from requesters. '07 KANSAS BASEBALL '07 KANSAS BASEBALL TUESDAY, MARCH 13 VS.

He stayed in the national spotlight after joining the Jayhawks. Darrell, Darnell took different routes to Kansas inion forward Darnell Jackson had a slow freshman season, but has now earned a spot in the Jahlvhows' rotation. He made big plays in Sunday's same against Texas. BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS Just one letter separates Darrell and Darnell. The two forwards have the same position, coming off the Kansas bench to replace the starters. They've also both improved their performance in the final weeks of the season. After those surface-level observations, though, Darnell Jackson and Darrell Arthur couldn't be more different. Arthur, a freshman, came to Kansas as one of the most highly "When he first came to Kansas, people said he wasn't good enough to play at Kansas." SHAWN JACKSON Darnell Jackson's mom sought-after recruits in the country. After attending high school in Dallas, he leaned heavily toward going to school at Baylor, but the recruiting efforts of coach Bill Self paid off and he came to Kansas. Since joining the team, he's continued to stay in the national spotlight, and ESPN projects that he would be selected in the lottery portion of this year's NBA draft if he made himself eligible. Jackson will probably never hear his name called by the NBA commissioner. He initially joined the Jayhawks carrying a different label — overrated. "When he first came to Kansas, people said he wasn't good enough to play at Kansas. He wasn't on JR, Giddens' level," his mother, Shawn, told. "I told him not to worry about what other people say. It's the man who's coaching that matters." Self saw potential in Jackson, but it wasn't realized immediately. He started with a sluggish freshman season. Then, as he was getting ready to start his sophomore season, he found out he would be suspended for the first nine games because he violated NCAA rules by "accepting impermissible benefits from a Kansas donor." Now in his junior season, Jackson has finally earned a spot in the Jayhawk rotation. His large size disguises a speed and athleticism that comes in handy when he guards players who can make longer shots. When Ilian Wright picked up his fourth foul, Jackson was called on to guard Texas superstar Kevin Durant. "He was making shot after shot," jackson said, "I was like, man, it's a 6-foot-10 big man bringing the ball down and making threes." Jackson was able to hold Durant in check, and Brandon Rush helped out defensively as Kansas forced overtime, ultimately winning the game. But while jackson was making big plays in a nationally televised game, Arthur was sitting on the bench in pain. He had taken an elbow to the groin from a Texas player, and was suffering a bruise that was keeping him out of the game. On SEE BASKETBALL ON PAGE3B >> THE RANT High level of confidence will help in tournament BY RYAN COLAIANNI KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST RCOLAIANNI@KANSAN.COM After Sunday's 22-point comeback against Texas, the second double-digit comeback in eight days, is there anything that members of the Kansas basketball team think they cannot do? Their confidence has to be at a season high. Sure the game against Texas on Sunday had no implications on where Kansas would go in the NCAA tournament since the game concluded a half-hour before the NCAA tournament selection show, but it will help the team during the tournament. Close wins always help. Something like this would not have happened last year. Kansas did have a great comeback against Oklahoma in 2006, but it also lost by nearly 20 to Texas, in a game that was never really competitive. This is a different team than last year's team. This team does not have that deer in the headlights look, not knowing where to turn, that I saw in Detroit in last year's NCAA Tournament against Bradley. Everyone on the team, all the way down to the freshmen, believe that they can get it done. Teams are going to have to be wary of that in the coming weeks. They will not know whom to guard in a close game with less than a minute to play. If they focus on Brandon Rush, then Mario Chalmers hits the shot. If they focus on Chalmers then Sherron Collins can drive to the basket. If they focus on Collins, then Russell Robinson can hit the shot. It is a great luxury for Bill Self to have and it is going to pay dividends. This team honestly believes that it can come back from any deficit, SEE COLAIANNI ON PAGE 3B SOFTBALL Pitcher not happy with her game BY EVAN KAFARAKIS After a lengthy time away from home, the Kansas softball team will be playing at home one last time before hitting the road again.

SEE BASEBALL ON PAGE 3B 2B SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAS TUESDAY, MARCH 13, 2007 >> 'HORN BORN, 'HAWK BRED Road trip leads to witnessing 'best game ever' In the stupor of my 22nd birthday, I somehow ended. Up in the passenger seat of a dark-blue '99 Chevy Malibu at 3 a.m. on Sunday. I was heading south to the Ford Center in Oklahoma City. Fruck R. Schmidt, a fellow writer at The University Daily Kansan and a friend of mine for three and half years, had the wheel. I'm normally reserved about spontaneity, but something urged me to go. I just knew it would be worth it and it was. Let's call it instinct. None of it would happen if Ericke girlfriend and Kassan photo editor, Amanda Sellers, hadn't put the idea in his head. Oklahoma State fans were selling tickets for as low as $10 a piece, she told him. A live rematch against Texas for two tanks of gas and a $10 dollar ticket? Where do I sign up? We both knew that if we went to sleep the trip would never start. So we made it happen right then, with coffee, soda, an iPod blasting music through the stereo and our own adrenaline to keep our eyes wide awake. At every tall bouth and convenience store we stopped at along the way, we provoked the employees into giving an upside down Hook Em. But most of these nocturnal souls had no clue the game was about to be played. One, a toll collector, was a bit hostile. Tin for two teams, K-State and who's ever playing KU" she said. We arrived at the Candlewood Suites at about 8:30 a.m., where our colleagues from The Kansan were staying. I was too wired to sleep. So were a few other Kansas fans walking through the lobby. jerry Dawson, the desk attendant, said that Kansas easily had the most fans in the hotel. YOUNG MAN With nothing else to do, I went next door to Mama Lou's Restaurant to have a short stack and mingle with some laid back country folk from Oklahoma. "You want to sit in the Kansas section?" "One of the two middle-aged waitresses asked me." "Tell him where the Kansas section is." Then the other one pointed out the window where the weather was steadily raining and said, "It's over there, in that field." I'm not sure what these Oklahomaans had against Kansas. Maybe its because Kansas beat Oklahoma two days before. I don't care, though, because they BY TRAVIS ROBINETT BY TRAVIS ROBINETT KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST TROBINITT@KANSAN.COM made some tasty pancakes. Erick and I left for the Ford Center at about noon. Our plan was to be patient, agreeing that $40 was the most we would spend. The first guy we waved down, an Oklahoma State fan named Mike, offered us two tickets for $15 a piece. Before I could get out my wallet, another seller offered us tickets for $10 a piece. A bargain war was at hand. "I've got a price he can't beat," Mike said. "Free." He handed us the tickets with no cost or obligation. I asked him why and he said, "I was hoping for an all 'state' final, so I'm just going home." Lucky us, I guess. We soon found out that the seats were free for a reason. They were one row from the top (Id guess about 300 feet above the floor) and directly behind the It's a good thing Texas fans don't appreciate a great basketball team when they see one. Kansas probably sextupled Texas' numbers, even though Oklahoma City is halfway between Austin and Lawrence. basket. From where we sat, our newest mission was to upgrade our view. Erick found a ticket to a lower level section on a paper-towel rack in the bathroom. We went to the section, using the ticket to convince the usher that we belonged there, and sat down a without a reservation. About three minutes later, the seat's rightful owner showed up. "Where did you get this ticket?" he asked. "I bought it off a scalper," Erick said. "Bought it off a scalper? How is that possible!" he yelled in a nearly comedic pitch. At that point we knew the jig was through, so we moved up a row. "Don't worry," someone told us when we sat down. "No one has been in these two seats all week." We breathed a sigh of relief but before we could exhale, the guy whose seat we stole had told the usher everything. We were kicked out. Our next stop was our last, settling into two seats that were even with the baseline and on the second row of the mezzanine, at a near-perfect angle. To this point, everything had fallen into place. All Kansas had to do was win. Then came the game and with the game came Kevin Durant — a demi-god with the basketball. Give him half an inch and you're invisible to him. With Kansas facing a 22-point first-half deficit, my heart sank along with my back into the chair. We were depressed. Then our luck changed. My phone buzzed in a text message from a high school friend named Justin: "Enjoy the long ride home. Hook 'Em." I'm not superstitious, but in light of what was about to unfold, I would like to thank Justin for jixing the 'Horns. If I could, I would write 2,000 words about the game. But that's not my job, that's for the Karsan sports-writers, Michael and Mark. Every basket during the comeback sent a common current of electricity through the Kansas fans. Instead I will only write three best game ever. Considering our effort to be there, it was fated that way. Sell said in the press conference that the Big 12 Tournament final, in general, was "one of the most fun games to play or coach in, because when it's over, it's over." But as lams, once it was all over the game, the trophy presentation, the selection show and the press conference — we stayed around to let it set in. We were fatigued and starting to wind down, but the blissful feeling of knowing that Kansas was the best in the Big 12, and knowing that we were there for it, kept growing. The cleanup crew, the media and the silly grits on our faces were all that was left of the best KU game I've ever seen. Eventually a man in a suit came and stood by us for a second. "What are you waiting for?" he asked, trying to clear out everyone who didn't have a job to do. We weren't waiting, just savoring the taste of victory.

Conn. Monday Tournament seeds announced Duke gets top seed, excited to be staying in North Carolina BY DOUG FEINBERG ASSOCIATED PRESS Duke, Tennessee, Connecticut and North Carolina were selected Monday as the No.1 seeds for the women's NCAA tournament. The Blue Devils, who went 29-0 in the regular season and then lost to N. C. State in the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament semifinals, will open up against No. 16 Holy Cross on Sunday in Raleigh. With a regional in Greensboro, Duke would stay in North Carolina until the Final Four in Cleveland The 64-team tournament begins Saturday. "We're really excited. We're playing all year long, hoping to get a chance to stay in Raleigh, and stay in Greensboro which is about an hour and 15 minutes down the road," Duke coach Gael Goellenkens said. Duke, ranked atop the AP Poll for the final nine weeks, hopes for better results than the last time the Blue Devils finished No. 1 — the 2003-04 final poll. They lost to Minnesota in the regional final that season. In the West, LSU, which saw Pokey Chatman abruptly resign last Wednesday, is seeded No. 3 in the Fresno region. Others in the Greensboro regional are No. 8 Temple vs. No. 9 Nebraska, No. 4 Rutgers vs. No. 12 East Carolina, No. 5 Michigan State vs. No. 12 Delaware, No. 6 Louisville vs. No. 11 Brigham Young, No. 3 Arizona State vs. No. 14 UC Riverside, No. 7 Bowling Green vs. No. 10 Oklahoma State and No. 2 Vanderbilt vs. No. 15 Delaware State. The university reacted promptly and properly to assistant coach Carla Berry's allegations, said the official, who asked to remain anonymous because it was a personnel matter. Former coach Chatman was not allowed to be alone with her players after an assistant reported alleged improper conduct to the university in February, a school official with direct knowledge of the matter told The Associated Press on Monday. The Tigers will play UNC Asheville on Friday night in Austin, Texas with coach Bob Starkey at the helm. "The kids have done a wonderful job." Starkey said. "They are a very resilient bunch. They have been through difficult times with Sue Gunter's death and Hurricane Katrina." The defending champion Maryland Terrapins will face Ivy League champion Harvard on Sunday afternoon in Hartford. Maryland, which returned all five starters from last season's team, was 0-5 against Duke and North Carolina this season. The Terps are looking to become the first repeat champions since Connecticut won three straight from 2002-04. West No. 1 seed Connecticut (29-3) will play No. 16 UMBC on Sunday in Hartford. The sentimental choice in Fresno might be North Carolina State and "They are a very resilient bunch. They have been through difficult times with Sue Gunter's death and Hurricane Katrina." coach Kay Yow. The Wolfpack, who have won 11 of the 13 games since Yow returned after breast cancer treatments, are the No. 4 seed in Fresno. Also in the West bracket, it will be: No. 5 Baylor vs. No. 12 Chattanooga, No. 6 Xavier vs. No. 11 West Virginia, and No. 7 Old Dominion vs. No. 10 Florida State. BOB STARKY UNC coach California vs. No. 9 Notre Dame, No. 5 George Washington vs. No. 12 Botsie State, No. 4 Texas A&M vs. No. 13 Texas Arlington, No. 6 Iowa State vs. No. 11 Washington, No. 3 Georgia vs. No. 14 Belmont, No. 7 Georgia Tech vs. No. 10 DePaul, and No. 2 Purdue vs. No. 15 Oral Roberts. The Big East placed the most teams in the championship bracket with eight, followed by the Atlantic Coast and Big 12 with six each. Six-time champion Tennessee is now the only team that has competed in every NCAA tournament after Louisiana Tech didn't make the field this year. The Lady Vols, who are a No. 1 seed for the 17th time in 20 years, will open up Sunday against No. 16 Drake in Pittsburgh. The No. 8 Panthers will host No. 9 James Madison in the other game in that subregional. Other games in the Dayton regional include: No. 5 Middle Tennessee, which has won 26 straight games, vs. No. 12 Gonzaga; No. 4 Ohio State vs. No. 13 Marist; No. 6 Marquee vs. No. 11 Louisiana Lafayette vs. No. 3 Oklahoma vs. No. 14 Southeast Missouri State; No. 7 Mississippi vs. No. 10 TCU. Holy Cross and Drake became the fifth and sixth teams with losing records to make the tournament. The Crusaders won the Patriot League, and the Bulldogs were victorious in the Missouri Valley Conference. The 42 runs scored in the two games served as a sign of the low level of difficulty the NIA pitchers presented to the layhawk lineup. BASEBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B) However, the alternative to playing Tabor and Baker were to simply not play at all, opting instead to forge the three cancelled games earlier in the season. Tabor and Baker gave Kansas a chance to get on the field, which still ranks highest on the importance scale. "These past couple weeks are the first time that we had a little routine and been able to be outside," junior left fielder John Allman said. Allman, who had his 10-game hit streak snapped against the Razorbacks in game one of the series, did all he could to make up for it the rest of the weekend. He went 4-8 with a run scored on Saturday and Sunday. The junior continues to lead his team with a .409 batting average, more than 100 points higher than the team's .302 season average. In its first midweek game of the season tonight, Penn State will face an unranked opponent for the first time in seven games. Shortstop Matt Cavagnaro leads the Nittany Lions starters entering the evening's game. Cavagnaro is a solid, 318 at the plate, a far cry from his team's, 234 batting average. Kansas right hander Andres Esquibel (2-0, 1.40) will look to keep him and the rest of the Nittany Lions at bay, as he makes his second start of the season. In 19.1 innings pitched this season, the junior has 18 strikeouts and just three walks. Penn State will start Seth Whitehill (0-2, 6.92). With numbers quite opposite from Esquibells, Whitehill has walked 10 batters and struck out only two in 13 innings of work. Nonetheless, Coach Ritch Price knows his team needs such a game to get ready for what's to come. "I deliberately put Stanford on the schedule after the first two weekends and then I gave us two more weekends at home before we came here to prepare to go to A&M." Price said. "You can look at the box scores right now and the two hottest teams in the country are Vanderbilt and Texas A&M." Kansan senior sportswriter Alissa Bauer can be contacted at abauer@kansan.com.

This team does not get rattled and that will go a long way in the Jayhawks drive to Atlanta. When facing great perimeter teams in the NCAA tournament that can go on three point barrages, Kansas has a great edge knowing that they can come back. The first time Kansas might see one of those deficits could come in the second round against Villanova, if Villanova can get past Kentucky. Under Jay Wright, Villanova has taken a simple offensive philosophy: live by the three, die by the three. They hoist up, on average, more than 21 three's a game. Remember this is the team that started four guards last year and went all the way to the Elite Eight. Sure Randy Foy and Allan Ray are in the NBA now, but Scottie Reynolds is by far the best freshman in the country who is not named Kevin Durant. Reynolds is getting better too. He has had some monster games in recent weeks. He dropped 40 on Connecticut in last weeks Big East tournament and is going to be a star for years to come, as long as Wright can get him to stay in school for a few more years. He is clutch, too. Not Acie Law clutch, but clutch enough that you better have two defenders close to him late in a close ball game. Villanova beat Georgetown on the road and disposed of Texas in late January. If this team gets hot, watch out, because almost all of its starting five, including power forward Curtis Sumpter, can drill three point shots. Sumpter is a presence inside and has overcome two season ending knee injuries during the last two seasons and continues to be a great post player. Villanova has also gotten some big wins along the way this season Even when facing a team like Villanova that has players who can hit shots from anywhere on the court, Kansas will be feeling pretty confident, even if it gets down early Colaiani is a McLean, Va., senior in journalism and political science.

The RBI Girls are members of Arkansas Pum Squail and cheer at home football and basketball games in the fall, but enjoy the close interaction with baseball fans in Baum Stadium the most. BY SHAWN SHROYER FAYETTEVILLE. Ark. — Not only did Kansas play one of the top teams in the country over the weekend, it also played in one of the best college baseball venues in America. Arkansas Baum Stadium was voted the best collegiate baseball facility in the nation by Baseball America in 1998 and was the runner up in 2003. The luscious field surface, massive scoreboard in right field and numerous luxury boxes certainly add to the stadium's reputation. However, what pushes the Razorbacks' home digs to the top are the women who make up the Razorback Diamond Dolls and RBI Girls squads. The Diamond Dolls squad is made up of 20 young women who serve as liaisons between the baseball program and the team. They work in the baseball office and help with baseball camps. At home games they sell media guides and programs and also serve as bat girls. Sara jackson, a fourth-year Diamond Doll, said making the squid comes with many responsibilities. Every year, 80 applicants go through a rigorous interview process to make sure they can handle the responsibilities — and that they know a ball or two about baseball. "We do put a couple baseball questions in there," Jackson said. "We want to make sure they are serious about it and not just here to meet the players. It's not a dating service." Since becoming a Diamond Doll, Jackson has developed a deep relationship with the diehard fans who pass through the gates of Baum Stadium. Halway through her final semester as a Diamond Doll, Jackson can't say enough about the Razorback faithful. "I'm from Idaho and I never experienced something like this before," Jackson said. "Come out here and 'Calling the Hogs,' it feels like you in a Major League stadium and that's what's wonderful. These people live and breath Razorbacks and it's very rare to see such passion for baseball." For Diamond Doils like Jackson, the joy of interacting with the fans and the team are basically all they get in return as they aren't paid for their services. Nevertheless, jackson put off graduating just to be a Diamond Doll one last time. "I was supposed to graduate a semester early, but I stretched it out an extra semester for my last baseball season," Jackson said. "I've done this for three years and I wasn't going to miss my fourth year." are two members of the RBI Girls who learned what it meant to be an RBI Girl in different ways. Smithson grew up in Arkansas and always wanted to make the squad. "That's why I came here," Smithson said. Unlike the Diamond Dolls, the RBI Girls are members of the Pom Squad. In the fall, they cheer at football and basketball games, but in the spring, the 14-member team can be seen between innings dancing on top of the dugouts. Schiff learned what it meant to be an RBI Girl on the run. "I'm from Texas, so I really didn't know what I was in for, but the first year that I did it, it was like the coolest thing," Schiff said. "I think it's cool, the fact that we are pretty much one of the only schools that has the RBI Girls. It's a privilege to be a part of this program." Smithson and Schiff said they, too, needed to be baseball savvy to make the squad and insisted their interview process was even more strenuous than that of the Diamond Dolls because they had to display knowledge of multiple sports. "We have interviews for our tryouts, but we're also asked questions about baseball, football and even basketball," Smithson said. One thing the RBI Girls could agree with the Diamond Dolls on was their admiration for the fans at Baum Stadium. And in addition to their interaction with the fans, Jackson said both squads get a kick out of how visiting teams react to the RBI Girls cheering on their dugouts. “it's interesting to see the visiting teams come in,” she said, “because they've never been around anything like this before and they've never had girls dancing on the dugout."

Edited by Joe Caponio Rachel Smithson and Erika Schiff Boeheim, a longtime proponent of including more teams in the field, was flabbergasted Sunday when the Orange were snubbed by the selection committee. That brought another round of calls from coaches on Monday to expand the tournament to at least 68 teams, if not more. KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim has plenty of support from Big 12 coaches for expanding the NCAA tournament. Coaches want to increase tournament team numbers "If the field is designed to get the best 64 teams in — if that was the design — then from that standpoint you think it needs to be modified," said Kansas coach Bill Self, tiguring a handful of automatic bids go each year to teams that otherwise would not make the cut.

Jayhawk Bookstore ...at the top of Naismith Hill Expanding the tournament has become a hot-button conversation piece that regularly bridges the gap between selection Sunday and the start of the NCAA tournament Thursday. It's the rallying cry of every fan whose team was passed over and every coach whose job security is measured by postseason appearances. 100 The last major tournament expansion came in 1985, which increased the field from 53 to 64 teams. The NCAA added a play-in game in 2001, when the number of automatic bids increased from 30 to 31. BY DAVE SKRETTA ASSOCIATED PRESS Since 1985, the number of Division I programs has ballooned from 282 to 336. Expanding the field would need more than the approval of coaches and administrators.

At speeds reaching 130 mph, the former NASCAR driver pointed out the trouble spots: bumps in the track surface, uneven lines in the asphaltricky transitions in and out of the banked turns and a curved pit lane unlike anything else on the circuit. When the tour was over, Bodine's passengers were convinced Sunday's race was going to be a wreck fest. "Nah, it will be fine," he predicted. "The talent level in this group is too good to let that happen." Bodine was right. There were only nine cautions during the Nextel Cup race, a testament to the skill and adaptability of NASCAR's top drivers. But it may have created a mirage masking the event's many problems. "With the exception of a couple of guys, all the drivers did a great job of give and take," said two time series champion Tony Stewart, a critic of the track changes and the tire Goodyear forced the teams to use. "I could see situations in front of me and behind me where everybody was giving each other room and trying to be courteous to each another. I think the drivers made the best out of a bad situation here." After the Busch Series race Saturday, which was plagued by a record 12 cautions, top drivers issued tire warnings. Matt Kenseth called the tires treacherous and Greg Biffle said he felt as if were driving on black ice. Kasey Kahne said every lap was a battle not to wreck, while Stewart criticized LVMS owner Bruton Smith, general manager Chris Powell, and Goodyear for creating a frightening experience for everyone. But it wasn't. "I predicted much more gloom and doom than this," Mark Martin said. "I want to give a shout out to all the drivers — they were extremely cautions. Very smart driving, as smart as I've ever seen these guys drive under all the pressure that they're under. They all did a great job, and it wasn't nearly as much of a disaster as I thought it was going to be." So what happened to create such dire predictions? Smith wanted better racing, along with a fan experience that tops any thing in NASCAR. So he pumped millions of dollars into the facility, and on-track changes that added 8 degrees of banking and moved pit road. But the changes pushed speeds over 200 mph during the January test session, and Goodyear had to create a tire strong enough to withstand the loads. The tire company selected a hard compound for the left side tires, which infuriated drivers who generally prefer a softer tire that sticks to the surface. The harder tire eliminated any grip, turning every lap of Sunday's race into a concentrated effort not to wreck. There were slips, slides and spins and even winner Jimmie Johnson had to save his car from making a sharp right-hand turn into the wall. "There were like top 10 saves, there were some saves that were miraculous" said Dale Earnhardt Jr. "There were a lot of guys getting out of control." But there also was good racing — which is all Smith wanted. NASCAR's post-race statistics showed that passing at Las Vegas was up 75 percent from a year ago, with 1,123 passes under the green flag compared with 898 in 2006. "We didn't have near as many cautions as some were expecting, and I don't know if you contribute that to a more experienced field of drivers or the weather," Powell said. "But I thought we had really, really good racing through the field. Behind the leader always seemed to be a lot of drivers competing for position, and through the field was excellent." But the issue is now on preparations for next year. Will the track weather at all? And will Goodyear find a more favorable tire? Powell said LVMS has cars on the track almost every day of the year with the Richard Petty Driving experience, wear that could help season the surface. But the drivers are insistent there must be better communication. Four-time series champion Jeff Gordon planned to sit down with Goodyear officials. "We've got to come up with a solution," he said. "There is no reason for us to show up at tracks and have a white-knuckle experience the whole weekend like we did here. They've been doing this too long and they've got too smart people, so we've got to figure out how not to bring tires like this to the track." 》 LPGA BY IOAN GRILLO ASSOCIATED PRESS Young golfer claims first tour title to defeat two-time champion HUIXQUILUCAN, Mexico — Even Meghan Francella found it hard believe: She actually beat Amnika Sorenstam in a playoff for her first LPGA tour victory. "I can't describe it. It's something I've worked for my entire life," the 24-year old New Yorker said Monday after winning the rain delayed MasterCard Classic in only her sixth LPGA Tour start. "Annika is the best player in the world and I was little intimidated. ... I was on the third tee with her and I thought, 'Man am I really doing this?' I thought I was dreaming. It was pretty exciting." The former University of North Carolina star from Port Chester, N.Y., won with a 4-foot birdie put out on the fourth extra hole. She closed with a (6) under 9 to match Sorenstam (66) at 11 under 205 on the Bosque Real course — the longest on the tour at 6,932 vards and also the highest at about 8,000 feet above sea level.

Francella, who earned $180,000 for the breakthrough victory, birdied the par- 14th to tie Sorenstam at 11 under and finished regulation with two straight pars. Sorenstam, the two-time defending champion making her first start of the year, had seven birdies and a bogey — on the 10th hole. "I think I'm playing as good as I could have asked for," Sorenstam said. "It's tough reading the putting on the green. It's about who can hang in there and stay patient. This is my first tournament of the year and I feel very good about my game. I'm very excited about the rest of the year and the upcoming tournament in Arizona." Angela Stanford (67), Kveong Bae (67) and Stacy Parmanusaidh (71) tried for third at 8 under, and Mexican star Lorena Ochoa (70). Shi Hyun Ahn (67) and Hyun Jung Choi (69) followed at 6 under. "My error was in the first day of the tournament," said Ochoa. "After that, it took a lot of work to come back. The leaders were very far ahead. I can't say I had bad luck. It never depends on luck.

The Royals decided they had to make room for Alex Gordon, the crown jewel of their player development system who will probably open at third base this season and could blossom into their finest homegrown product since Carlos Beltran. Even though everyone could see it coming, it still hurt. Teachen acknowledges he had "issues" with management's decision BUDDY BELL Manager A hearty slap on the back, followed by a swift kick in the pants — all the way into right field. But there also have been young players who failed at a new position and drifted out of the game. Picking up the ball in right field demands skills and experience a third base man can only guess at. "We had to talk through some things," he said. "When you work hard your entire career to become the best third baseman you can possibly be, then you get told you're going to the outfield — it was tough initially. But at the same time I understand the situation. "And I understand a lot of guys have changed position early in their careers and gone on to become great players.

"Dad was always my hitting coach and my coach in Little League. He taught me how to play the game, Teaheen said. "It was dad who made me an infielder," Mark Teahen said. "He knew I had good hands for third base. His initial comment was, 'It's a waste.' But he understands the situation. And he believes I have the ability, and know the game well enough to make the transition." Mike Tealen was!] easily pleased with what Mark, was asked to do, either. As the Royals go into the final weeks of spring training, the report on the new right fielder are mostly unbeat. "I think first he was little angry, which is all right," manager Billdell. Bell said. "He thought he was doing a good job at third, which he was." Everybody, Teachen included is hopeful hell get as many tough chances during the spring games as possible. Several times on balls hard into right, he has taken a step or two in, then had to turn back to get to balls bit over his head. "He really understands some of the things he has to work on," Bell said. "But he's also made some great plays. The big swing, balls off the end of the bat, the big swing with somebody getting jammed; these are the kind of plays he's going to have difficulty reading right now." "But he's a ballplayer. And he is smart. He's a very bright lad. I think he's going to be all right." Hair is better when it's not there!

"I'm pretty happy right now," Looper said. "I've given up a few hits but I'll take base hits like that. It's not like balls are flying out of the ballpark, knock on wood." His only professional regular-season start was in rookie ball in 1997. Looper has allowed only one earned run in 11 innings over three spring training starts with only one walk. "Today was probably the worst I've felt," he said "it's pitching, I guess; I haven't done it a whole lot in my career, but it felt good to stretch it out." Braves starter John Smoltz needed only 46 pitches to get through four innings and allowed one hit. He threw changeups past Albert Puigls and Scott Rolen for called third strikes to end the first inning — Smoltz said he threw about 15 changeups. "That's a pitch nobody saw me throw a lot," Smoltz said. "Watch out, Glavine and Maddux," he added, referring to former teammates Tom Glavine and Greg Maddux. Atlanta's Chipper Jones sprained his left ankle on a groundout to first in the first inning, limping off the field after taking only a few steps out of the batter's box. Jones said he was taken out of the game as a precaution. Rick Ankiel, the former pitcher trying to make it back to the majors as an outfielder, homered off Tyler Yates in the sixth. It was the first homer for St. Louis in 10 games at home, counting an exhibition against Florida Atlantic.

The commission instituted mandatory jail sentences for those who bring guns within 200 feet of drinking establishments, but it put a proposed entertainment licensing system on hold after attendees voiced concerns. City law already prohibited firearms near or in the premises of drinking establishments but did not require jail sentences Commissioner Dennis "Boog" Highberger said the threat of jail sentences would do more to discourage people from bringing weapons near bars. Night Club, 1003.23rd St., and Last Call, 729 New Hampshire St., said it would be unfair for the crime to punish businesses for the crimes of their patrons. "I'm not someone who thinks the answer to every problem is to increase criminal penalties, but we need to send a clear message." Highberger said. The new gun ordinance met no opposition from members of the public, but discussion of an entertainment license caused some bar owners and others to protest. An entertainment licensing system would require entertainment venues to obtain a license from the city to operate. Nick Carroll, owner of the Replay Lounge, 946 Massachusetts St., and Jackpot Saloon and Music Hall, 943 Massachusetts St., said the system could penalize venues that attracted lots of customers. According to a draft ordinance from city staff, "entertainment venues" would include businesses that provide live music or dancing or businesses that charged admission for recorded audio or video. The draft ordinance said the city could suspend or revoke business "Really what these licenses are saying is that. If you're successful, we don't want you downtown," Carroll said. es' licenses if patrons or employees committed criminal acts or if businesses caused problems with noise, litter or traffic.

If Student Senate passes a $6 student recreation fee increase, it will bring the total student fee increases passed this semester to $31. The $6 increase would be split into three parts to better accommodate inflation increases, said Mary Chappell, director of recreation services. An increase of 75 cents would go to a sports fee to help pay for equipment, rentals and travel for KU club An increase of $4.25 would allow recreation services to cover inflationary costs, such as raises in minimum wage or an increase in utility costs. "We don't have the back-up funds to pay for those unknown problems." Chappell said. A final increase of $1 would be set aside for unforeseen obstacles, like a rise utility costs drastically increase or repairs were needed in the future. sports and sports teams not sanctioned by the NCAA. Recreation services currently splits about $109,000 between the 29 club sports, Chappell said. She said the fee increases were a budgetary planning tool.

Jon Goerina/KANSAN >> PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE Outraged lawyer fights 'under God' Michael Newdow regularly challenges the constitutionality of the phrase "under God" and its inclusion in the Pledge of Allegiance. Newdow spoke about separation of church and state Tuesday night at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union. SEE FEES ON PAGE 3A BY TYLER HARBERT TODRIGO DEL MUNDO Michael Newdow swears this entire court case came about because of a joke. He's just not swearing to god. Newdow spoke at Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union Tuesday night about his 2004 Supreme Court case where he argued that the phrase "under God" needed to be removed from the Pledge of Allegiance. He opened his lecture by strum- ming a guitar and singing a song he wrote called, "The Pledge of Allegiance Blues." "It all began one Sunday in 1954; that old Pledge of Allegiance needed something more," the song began. The song's chorus was "They had those Pledge of Allegiance needs some old religion blues" He said he was prompted to take on the issue because of an incident in Chicago. The friends he was visiting never had soap when he visited them, he said. So as a joke, he went to purchase 100 bars of soap. He said he noticed the phrase, "In God We Trust," on some money while standing in line. He was outraged when he pointed out the phrase to his friends, he said. Another reason he decided to pursue the case was because his daughter was forced to recite the pledge every day in her third-grade class.

Instead of asking Lance Mall what he's involved in, people would have better luck asking what he doesn't do. The Student Involvement and Leadership Center, Interfraternity Council and Student Ambassadors The Clay Center junior was the only student from his high school who came to the University of Kansas. Mall said he knew that he would have to get involved if he wanted to have a good time at the University. IRELAND The self-proclaimed "quiet guy" in high school became the freshman-sophomore senator for Student Senate and joined the Delta Chi fraternity his freshman year to overcome being shy. He volunteered for Student Ambassadors as well. "I want to get out there and let people know why KU is the best and why people should come here," he said. Mall is most involved in the Student Involvement and Leadership Center where he is the leadership development coordinator. He helps organize events such as Leadershape and Blueprints, which both work to develop leadership skills. The Freshman Leadership Council is Mall's favorite program. He said the council wasn't active for the past few years, so he's working to revive the program. Freshmen apply in the fall, and 20 are selected to be on the council in the spring. The program offers students the chance to meet people on campus whom they wouldn't normally see. Mall has achieved his goal of being involved. He said he really felt as though he's "in the loop" at the University, and he has 669 Facebook friends to prove it.

Edited by Ryan Schneider 》 NUTRITION Timely eating for better health BY NATHAN GILL Nutritionists say college students who eat at regular times could prevent weight gain and have more energy. The American Dietetic Association designated March as the National Nutrition Month to raise awareness about a healthy diet and exercise. However, students should not only consider how they exercise and eat, but when they eat. Marty Glenn, a lecturer in health, sports and exercise science, said students who delayed morning and midday eating jeopardized their health in two ways. He said students who deprived their bodies of food in the morning slowed their metabolisms, causing them to burn fewer calories. Those students who compensate by eating more food at later hours are teeding themselves when their body is slowing down, he said. Glenn said late-night eating often resulted in weight gain. "If you wanting the six-pack look or a little definition in your abdominals, it'll sabotage your efforts to do that." Glenn said. Ann Chapman, a dietitian for student health services, said that students who did not eat an early meal were also more likely to choose unhealthy foods in greater quantities, when they did eat. "Under eating leads to overeating." Chapman said. She said students should eat a meal or snack every three to four hours, about the time it takes for the body to digest food. Anything less would leave students with low blood sugar and negatively affect concentration and reaction time. "I think healthy eating is a whole lot about organization," Chapman said. Chapman suggested that busy students buy healthy foods, such as fruits, nuts and low fat cheeses to take to campus instead of skipping a meal. Melissa Murphy, Lee's Summit, Mo., junior, said she ate most of a day's food later in the day when she returned to her off-campus home after class. "It's really just about time for me." Murphy said.

THINKING OF GOING TO LAW SCHOOL? Be Prepared! Generosity does have a price, though. Jay Gray, who is in charge of billing for the center, said the medical clinic recently stopped allowing patients to accumulate unpaid balances because some took advantage of it. He said a first time office visit cost $42 and subsequent visits were $30. X-rays are $45 and most lab work is between $20 and $60. For those without insurance, which Gray said made up 90 percent of his patients, it is much less expensive to seek treatment at the center than at a hospital or doctor's office. While still a high school student in Asheville, N.C., he attended a leadership conference in Washington, D.C. There, he watched a surgeon perform operations on a brain and a heart, as well as a hip replacement, and decided he wanted to do the same someday "The way the human body works; it's incredible how God put it together and how he allows us to fix it when it messes up," he said.

MOODY (CONTINUED FROM 1A) BY ASHLEE KIELER Kansan staff writer Kyle Carter can be contacted at kcarter@ kansan.com. The Delta Force coalition released two more platforms for the April 11 and 12 elections. Coalition adds platforms Edited by Ryan Schneider 》DELTA FORCE Delta Forces' new platforms include parking shuttles and subsidized testing for sexually transmitted infections. Staff at the Leo Center have to pinch pennies at times to keep things running. Moody apologized for the dark hallway leading to his office and explained that the lights were off to save money. John Cross, Kansas City, Mo. junior, and Liz Stuewe, Lawrence junior, previously announced their platform for blue light expansion earlier this semester. Cross and Stueve are the president and vice president nominees respectively. "We're really excited about the platforms," Cross said. "We've done a lot of research on how to help the community." It's a long way off from the lush life that the NBA provides for some of his former teammates, but Stueve said the main goal of the platform was to ensure convenience The parking shuttle platform calls to increase the amount of buses at the satellite parking lot on West Campus, and add fare-free buses to campus from the Student Recreation and Fitness Center parking lot and the parking lots located behind JRP Hall. Delta Force continues to work on other possible platforms such as expanded advertising for student organizations and the use of paper basketball tickets for students. students don't get tested. The goal of the platform is to provide testing at Watkins Memorial Health Center for all students paying Lawrence campus fees. Kansan staff writer Ashlee Kieler can be contacted at akieler@kansan.com. "None of our platforms will necessitate an increase in student fees." Cross said. "We have researched other ways to get funding, such as grants." "It's a really plausible platform," Stuewe said. "Students have a lot of money and insurance concerns. This would provide a good solution." Stuewe said that while announcing platforms to members of the Delta Force coalition, they received a lot of positive feedback. Cross said they wanted to ensure that students knew their options when thinking about their sexual health. Subsidized STI testing would give students the ability to be tested for STIs at little or no cost. Students' sexual health is a concern for Delta Force because many Members of Delta Force met with Parking Department officials to discuss the feasibility of the plan, and they said the platform could be filled without problems if they were elected. The coalition also wants to extend the bus hours to 2 a.m., which would make it easier to use the library without having to park on campus or walk in the dark alone. Delta Force said that because there were no buses running to JRP, students are rushing to get from class to class. Adding a bus to JRP would make it easier for students to get to and from JRP more quickly. Edited by James Pinick Don't Take Chances Call Before You Dig Planning those outdoor projects?

But Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas said Tuesday that prosecutors have since decided that Jeff Hausner was not involved in the shootings. "This defendant, although related to one of the so-called serial shooters, was not part of those crimes, as far as we know," Thomas said after the hearing. Jeff Hausner, 40, faces a maximum of nearly nine years in prison when he is sentenced April 20. Police said he attacked the homeless man after the man approached him and Dieteman outside a supermarket. Jeff Hausner's lawyer, Candice Shoemaker, said the cases were connected only "because of the presence of Mr. Dieteman. Jeff feels he was wrapped into everything that was going on." Police said Dieteman had nothing to do with the stabbing. Jeff Hauser did not agree to testify in the case against his brother and Dieteman as part of the plea agreement, prosecutor Vince Imbordino said. Thomas would not say whether he would be called to testify. Sheemaker said her client just wanted the case resolved. "He didn't want to go to trial given that the top charge was attempted murder, a charge which carries substantially more (prison) time," she said. Authorities spent weeks looking into his involvement after arresting Dale Hausner and Dieteman last August in the serial killer investigation. Investigators said Dale Hausner and Dieteman cruised Phoenix-area streets late at night in a car, randomly blasting at people with shotguns. The attacks are thought to have started May 17, 2005, with the fatal shooting of Tony Mendez, who was riding his bicycle at night along a downtown street. 》 WILDFIRE Firefighters contain California blaze ASSOCIATED PRESS ANAHEIM, Calif. — A wildfire that damaged a home and forced 1,200 residents to evacuate the hills southeast of Los Angeles was contained, firefighters said Tuesday. Investigators believe the 2,036-acre brush fire in Anaheim Hills ignited Sunday after someone set a stolen Honda Civic ablaze. Hot, dry Santa Ana winds fanned the flames to a three-square-mile area. Highway security videotape could hold clues about who torched the stolen car and triggered the fire. Jennifer Seaton, a spokeswoman for the Transportation Corridor Agencies, said the agency gave surveillance video and data from a toll station on Highway 241 to fire investigators. Two firefighters were treated for minor injuries. A third, who was accidentally cut on the face by an ax, was hospitalized in moderate condition, said Capt. Stephen Miller of the Orange County Fire Authority. A "red flag" alert for fire danger was issued going into the weekend and the forecast of winds, extremely low humidity and heat proved true as Southern California stayed on pace to have the driest winter in decades. The car was set on fire about a half-mile south of the station, Seaton said. The license plates did not match the 2004 white Honda Civic, said John Nicoletta, a city spokesman. Miller said lower temperatures, in the 70s, and light wind helped some 800 firefighters contain the blaze. The last time it was this dry was in 1923-1924, when 2.5 inches of rain was recorded through March 22, 1924. Only about 2.4 inches of rain has fallen in downtown Los Angeles since July 1. The fire destroyed two smaller structures along with the house. Residents of about 500 homes were evacuated, but most were able to return Sunday night. "We believe that the suspect or suspects drove the vehicle to that location and may have been picked up by an associate or other associates, which allowed them to leave the scene quickly" he said. 2 Mike Meadows/ASSOCIATED PRESS A Los Angeles fire department helicopter makes a water drop just under the Griffith Park Observatory in support of firefighters working on brush fire in Los Angeles on Monday.

Kathleen Sebelius some credit for tackling the issue, the state Board of Regents' top administrator said Tuesday that her plan for dealing with a backlog of repairs on university campuses has significant flaws. Reggie Robinson, the regents' chief executive officer, was among the witnesses during a Senate Ways and Means Committee hearing on Sebelius' plan to provide $575 million to the universities over six years. The committee doesn't know when it will vote on her plan or any alternative it may draft. Robinson didn't criticize the part of Sebelius' plan that has been a nonstarter with many legislators: her proposal to issue $300 million in bonds and to increase Kansas Turnpike tolls to pay them off. Instead, Robinson expressed misgivings about Sebelius' proposal to provide universities up to $200 million in low-interest loans from idle state funds for repair projects. Robinson noted that Sebelius' plan doesn't say where the universities would get the money to repay the loans. Also, he said, while the plan tackles the backlog of maintenance projects, it doesn't increase repair budgets so that another backlog won't develop in the future.

Initial medical reports indicated nearly all of the 50 detained activists, including Tsangirai, sustained severe bruising and internal injuries reportedly at the hands of police. Late Tuesday, all but 12 of the activists were taken back to court from the hospital. Beatrice Mtetwa, a lawyer for the group, said they were moved at police orders and that no "It is a unilateral appearance called by the police," Mettawa said. She said Tsvangirata was among the dozen still at the hospital. state prosecutor or magistrate was at the court. Tsivangri, 54, and the other opposition figures were arrested in the latest crackdown on dissent by President Robert Mugabe's security forces and political supporters. Lawyer Beatrice Mtetaw said police forced Isvangirai and many of her other clients to lay face down and then beat them savagely and repeatedly with truncheons both at the scene of the arrests and at police stations. After their brief court appearance, she said the state intended to charge the activists with incitement to violence for holding the prayer meeting that authorities had declared illegal. Formal bail has not been granted to any of them. As the bruised and bandaged activists shuffled into court, many sang and chanted in defiance of the heavy police presence. Tsvangirai, the leader of the Movement for Democratic Change, stood but did not chant or sing. British Ambassador Andrew Pockock, who was in court, said the right side of Tsvangira's face was swollen, including his eyes. "It was damn barbaric," the envoy told reporters. A crowd outside sang and waved the party's open-hand salute as Tsvangirai and about six other injured activists left. Tsvangirai, his soiled shirt almost completely unbuttoned, appeared disoriented as he walked slowly and boarded an emergency vehicle unaided. He was not among those who returned the salute. One activist was taken from court on a stretcher, two stumbled on crutches, and a young woman unable to walk was helped into an ambulance by paramedics. "The world community again has been shown that the regime of Robert Mugabe is ruthless and repressive and creates only suffering for the people of Zimbabwe," said Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. She called for the "immediate and unconditional release" of the activists. Arthur Mutambara, leader of a breakaway faction of Tsangtriai's party, also had head wounds, and Lovemore Madhuku, head of a militant reform group, suffered a broken arm. Police used tear gas, water cannon and live ammunition to crush Sunday's gathering by the Save Zimbabwe Campaign, a coalition of opposition, church and civic groups. in Harare's western township of Highfield. U. S. Ambassador Christopher Dell told the British Broadcasting Corp. that Washington holds Mugabe and his government personally accountable for the safety of the detained activists.

P PRESIDENT BUSH Latin American tour has focus on local food MERIDA, Mexico — Is anyone feeding the president? At every stop on his seven-day, five-country Latin American trip, including here on Tuesday, President Bush has been fixated on food. ASSOCIATED PRESS It began with Bush's first event in the first country, when he and Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva celebrated a new ethanol alliance. "I appreciate the fact that youre about to buy me lamb." Bush told Silva. "I'm kind of hungry. Looking forward to eating some of that good Brazilian food." In Uruguay, at a news conference with President Tabare Vazquez, Bush said he couldn't wait to dig into some Uruguayan beef — something the tiny nation wants to sell more of to the United States. Next came Guatemala, where Bush hauled some lettuce onto a truck — something he later called "one of the great experiences of my presidency" "You've told me all along how good it is, and after we answer a few questions, were about to find out." Bush told his host, later praising the country's abundant blueberries. "I'm looking forward to the dinner that you're hosting for Laura and me"; Bush told Gunemalan President Oscar Berger in another news conference. "I'm not going to talk too long because I might get too hungry." In Colombia, part of Bush's agenda included time with locals growing crops as alternatives to the illegal coca from which cocaine is made. The vendors' stalls were filled with honey, chocolate and coffee. 1960 Pablo Martinez/ASSOCIATED PRESS President George W.

In a lawsuit filed in state Supreme Court in December, Helm asks for information about BBDO Worldwide's profits from the commercial for Cingular cell phone service and for financial compensation for the use of his performance. Helms attorney, Michael Pinsky, said state law prohibited the use of a celebrity's voice or likeness for profit without his prior written permission. Pinsky said Helm received a royalty payment from the use of "The Weight" in the commercial, but doesn't feel he has been adequately compensated. According to an annual royalty statement from EMI Records, which owns The Band's record label, Helm took home one-fifth of half of the licensing fee that BBDO paid to Capitol for the right to use the song, Pinsky said. A BBDO spokesman declined comment. Daniel Liam/ASSOCIATED PRESS "It was just a complete, damn sellout of The Band — its reputation, its music; just as much disrespect as you could pour on Richard and Rick's tombstones," said Helm, 66, a longtime Wood-stock resident. Richard Manuel, vocalist and piano player for The Band, died in 1986. Rick Danko, who played bass, died in 1999. Associated Press MADISON BREWER Mills to dance for charity This photo, supplied by ABC, shows Heather Mills and her dance partner Jonathan Roberts posing during their preparations for the "Dancing with the Stars" television reality competition in Brighton, England, last month. Mills, who says she is ready for the contest, will be the first contestant to compete with an artificial limb on the ABC show. Roberts returns for his third season beginning Monday. NEW YORK — Heather Mills says her decision to compete on ABC's "Dancing With the Stars" is no publicity stunt. Mills, who is divorcing former Beatle Paul McCartney, says she is appearing on the show for charity, not for public sympathy. "I've been chased and hounded for 10 months and told I a publicity-seeker, yet I've never gone out and done anything," the activist and former model says in an interview that was to air Tuesday on "Access Hollywood." Mills, who lost her leg in a 1993 motorcycle accident, is the first contestant with an artificial limb to compete on the dance show. "As much as everyone would love it to go flying, I'm sure it's not going to come off." Mills says. "It can, once it gets hot, start to slide and come off, so I've pulled a sleeve over the top, which doesn't look as cosmeti- cally good." McCartney, 64, and Mills, 38, separated last May after four years of marriage. They have a 3-year-old daughter, Beatrice. Mills said she planned to donate her appearance fee to Viva! — an organization that campaigned on behalf of animals killed for food. "Dancing With the Stars" returns Monday. The cast includes Olympic skater Apolo Anton Ohno, model Paulina Porikzova, former "Beverly Hills," 90210" star Ian Ziering, former 'N Sync member Joey Fatone and other celebrities. Mills says her participation on the show is "going to help a lot of kids with disabilities and adults that want to get up and learn to dance, and know that with an artificial leg, you can dance."

INTRUST Jamaica LAS VEGAS — The Stardust is now just a memory. Member FDIC Vegas legend becomes a memory The world's largest specialty coffee retailer said it would partner with Concord Music Group, which controls several other labels and helped Starbucks sell the Grammy-winning "Genius Loves Company," an album of Ray Charles duets. THE NEW YORK METROPARK CITY CENTER "It hurt. We cried," said Sheila Navarro, 51, a school supplies buyer from Oxnard, Calif. She came with three sisters, her mother, an aunt and a brother-in-law to say farewell to the casino she's gambled at for more than 30 years. The Echelon is to open in late 2010 with more than 5,000 hotel rooms, a production theater, concert venue, shopping mall and more than 1 million square feet of meeting space. The casino-hotel on the Las Vegas Strip was imploded early Tuesday in a hail of fireworks to make way for Boyd Gaming Corp's $4.4 billion megastore, Echelon Hundreds of people partied beneath tents and on makeshift patios before Boyd chairman Bill Boyd's four grandsons pushed a plunger to detonate the building. The blast generated a massive dust cloud that chased the revelers into cars, buses and nearby casinos. Fireworks are launched from the Starstust Hotel as it is imploded on the Las Vegas Strip on Tuesday to pave the way for Boyd Gaming Corp.'s $4.4 billion megareasy complex, Echelon. The property opened July 2, 1958, billing itself as the world's largest resort hotel with 1,032 rooms. It is credited with being Las Vegas's first mass-market casino, thanks to cheap rates and less-leading food and drinks. Now, rather than basically lending the Starbucks brand to an album, the Los Angeles-based Hear Music label will sign its own artists and sell records through Starbucks stores and other retailers. "We're not setting this up so that Starbucks stores would have any advantage over other retailers" Seattle-based Starbucks has been extending its brand beyond the world of coffee in recent years to embrace music, books and even a movie, "Akeelah and the Bee." said Ken Lombard, president of Starbucks Entertainment. Officials refused to say whether the label had signed any artists, but said they would welcome both emerging and established musicians. The company also opened four hybrid Hear Music Coffeehouses, where customers can purchase music from thousands of titles and burn the selections to CDs, and it has a branded page at Apple Inc.'s online iTunes store. Starbucks brand strategy,however,has been publicly debated in recent weeks,following a leaked memo from Chairman Howard Schultz. In the e-mail to top Starbucks executives, Schultz said various changes over the years have led to "the watering down of the Starbucks experience, and what some might call the commoditization of our brand." Some now question whether launching a record label is the right move for Starbucks, said Dan Geiman, an analyst with McAdams Wright Ragen. But music always has been close to what Starbucks sees as the identity of its brand, even though it remains a relatively small business, generally about 1 percent of all sales, he said.

Even in the wake of 9/11, when we raised our flags and felt thankful to be in a democratic nation, we under used our democratic abilities. Using our democratic abilities is not a matter of voting yes or no for terrorism. It's a matter of opening our eyes to the manners in which America affects the world. President Bush pointed his finger at the culprits, and most of America, without a second thought, followed suit. Wed been attacked; this was no time to consider how our past political decisions had helped fuel the tragedy. It was no time to ponder whether our angered reactions would lead to more. Yet our political decisions, inexercically linked to the rest of the world, had both sparked and funded irrevocable hatred and continue to encourage terrorism today. During the Cold War, the United States government armed and trained Afghani fundamentalists — one of whom may have been Osama bin Laden — to fight the Soviets. These "freedom fighters" became the Taliban. We supported Saddam Hussein's shady actions in the Iraq-Iran War. Months before 9/11, we gave millions of dollars to the Taliban on good faith that they would use it to eradicate poppies. These examples represent a drop in the bucket of scandalous U.S. relations. Even if these judgments were made in honest error, Americans should be more cognizant of the implications of our actions. Policies and ideologies that are commonplace for us are devastating to others, including our lack of cultural sensitivity, our promotion of capitalism, our propensity to be contradictory, our history of attempting and failing to ameliorate conflicts more complex than we ever realized, and, of course, putting money into poten- tunny dangerous hands. Our war with Iraq, for better or for worse, increased terrorism. A report issued by the World Policy Institute found that in 2003 more than half of the developing countries the U.S. supplied arms to were nations in which citizens did "not have the right to change their own government." In 2006, Sen. Sam Brownback passed a bill to give $50 million to "pro-democracy" groups who wanted to overthrow the Islamic government of Iran. To fund one of these groups, the MEK, we also had to remove it from the U.S. Department of State terrorist list, where it and its cohorts resided for acts of terrorism against the U.S. and Iran. Perhaps these rebels wreak less terror now, but do we really expect these groups to instill peace with their new guns? Do we so naively believe that they will precisely or quickly accomplish their mission, or that Iranians will be thankful for the Americans we just sparked? Using our democratic abilities is not a matter of voting "yes" or "no" for terrorism. It's a matter of opening our eyes to the manners in which America affects the world. In a nation that provides education and encourages free speech, we have become carefree and soft spoken, and our lack of use of democracy is no small matter. Our national decisions don't merely regard prosaic issues; they may significantly affect how our nation prospers and falters in the world. Those who have targeted us did so for reasons that are important to understand. Alison Kieler for the editorial board. >> COMMENTARY Love dilemma prompts spontaneity Two options: I can either knock on her door right now or slip a hand-written letter under it. For the last three days I've been waiting for some form of reply to my phone calls. Since implementing the three-call rule, I've dialed twice. If there's no pick up on call three, it's finished. I suppose I fancy myself some kind of a writer and having this confidence, I would like to play to my strength. All I need are a few good lines and a little honesty. But a letter feels so indirect and almost archaic. Also, I just finished writing it by hand and the spelling of "sincerely" at the letter's close looks very questionable. I continue to look over it is because I can faintly hear the sound of a slamming door. Perhaps I have made the situation too black-and-white. But reason and logic have a funny way of leaving when you're standing six doors down with letter in hand and heart in throat. Earlier, back in my room, I stared at the ceiling and followed the pipes with my eyes from one side of the room to the other and back again. I had some P. R. C. I asked my roommate what to do. poetry. I felt worse. My thoughts just kept recycling, I think I should talk to her. I think I should let her be. "Walk away and leave it alone," he told me. BY BRYAN DYKMAN And it's at this point, after he said only six words that I know exactly what I have to do. DYNAMIK DYNAMIK KANSAN COLUMNIST OPINION@KANSAN.COM Go after her. I know that I cannot walk away and leave it alone, not this woman. That simple sentence was enough of a gut check to let me know how I really felt, because you never know how you really feel until you ask for some advice and someone tells you the exact opposite. Like the time I wanted to buy a 1995 Mercedes-Benz E420 with 150,000 miles on it. My friend told me it would be "totally righteous." I knew instantly that none of my friends where mechanics and my $6,000 should be better spent elsewhere. Now that I knew what to do, I started to think about her again and with a little sense of optimism. The last time I talked to her, she told me that she'd read Hesse's "Siddhartha" and didn't like it I think I bought some used books instead. Who doesn't like "Siddhartha?" That question alone hurried me down the stairs and across the parking lot to the north side of Daisy Hill. I barely made it before the 11 p.m. mark and sprinted up four flights of steps. And here I am in the lobby, trying to catch my breath before walking down the north wing and either knocking on her door or using this letter. And it's up to me. No roommate to check how I really feel. I'm in front of her door, reciting the 23 Psalm, trying to remember what comes after the green pastures. Gathering what little energy I have left, I turn around and head home, accidentally tripping one of the restricted exit alarms on my way. I apologize to the deskies. I tell them I wasn't thinking.

I don't mean to condemn the author, but rather the Kansan for publishing such an article. It was not only poor journalism, but also detrimental to the students of the University of Kansas. Getting drunk on one's 21st birthday, or any time that matter, is not a particularly impressive accomplishment, as it requires nothing but the ability to swallow and a willingness to completely abandon one's personal dignity. We hear enough “news” about the drunken antics of Paris and Britney in the national media. I'm disappointed that aspiring journalists of the University couldn't think of something a little more original and groundbreaking than the brilliantly insightful lines about dancing on a bar and throwing up on an airplane. Drunken antics too risqué for print While this article reflected very poorly on the Kansan, it also sent a dangerous message to the students of the University. The majority of young adults who decide to binge drink do so because of the false idea that "everyone" is doing it. By celebrating this young woman's night of drunken debauchery, the Kansan perpetuates this idea while ignoring the large number of students who choose to spend their time and money in mature, healthy and responsible ways. This article's message is especially damaging to the women of the University. On this "liberal campus," we deserve to read about women who are newsworthy for real accomplishments, not for allowing themselves to be objectified by dancing suggestively and making out with complete strangers. These are not the actions of a liberated woman, but rather one who rejects the dignity of her body and willingly participates in being treated like an object of male pleasure. I hope that in the future, the Kansan and "Jayplay" uphold higher journalistic standards and celebrate the many diverse accomplishments of KU students and faculty rather than promoting such disgusting overindulgence.

Australia offers new experience A Pop-culture shock among the challenges of studying abroad BY MARY SORRICK Editor's note: Kansan correspondent Mary Sorrick is studying abroad in Australia this semester. I came to Australia for a lot of reasons, Beaches, sun, friendly people and charming accents aside, a certain mystery surrounds the country and drew me to it. As images of kangaroos and boomerangs contrasted so sharply with the hot dogs and 'Husker football of my youth, studying abroad in Australia became a goal that I couldn't wait to fulfill. Now, having been in Sydney for a month, I'm still very aware of this country's aura. You might assume that there aren't as many differences between the U.S. and Australia as there are between the U.S. and Yemen. But it's the subtle nuances of Australia life that make things feel foreign. Culture shock has not really been an issue for me. However, culture shock does possess an unexpectedly cruel offshoot; pop-culture shock. When you don't know half of the celebrities discussed on TV or in magazines, it can make you feel farther away from home than the actual physical distance does. Turning on the radio usually means opening yourself up to a barrage of beat-driven house music, unfamiliar pop songs and the occasional appearance of the worst of America's top-40 singles. My hopes of hearing nonstop AC/DC, Kylie Minogue and Wolfmother on the airwaves were quickly dashed. I've become more familiar with electronic dance music than I ever thought possible. Lackluster radio programming does nothing to wear down the basic enthusiasm that Australians have for just about everything. This perpetual good mood became apparent three days after my arrival down under. Sixty other U.S. students and I were crammed on a boat for the two-hour journey to the Great Barrier Reef, a trip that under normal circumstances would be very relaxing and enjoyable. Unfortunately for us, bad weather the night before had caused the ocean to look like a scene from "The Perfect Storm". While 80 percent of the passengers spent the ride being sick, the Australian crew members sang songs, played around on the PA system and took turns steering the boat as if the groans of 50 people weren't enough to dent their cheery dispositions. Thankfully, I made it to Sydney, my home for the next four months, without getting sick. In Lawrence, we're used to being the geographical center of the country, but it's an entirely new experience to live in a country's cultural center. Darling Harbour, which winds through downtown, is lined with restaurants and clubs that blare base heavy dance music into the city every night. An abundance of bars, as well as the Australian love of anything involving beer also adds to the lively atmosphere. This jovial spirit made Sydney a perfect fit for the world's only Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras on March 4. About 350,000 spectators watched as scantily clad dancers and colorful floats paraded through the city. The Opera House and the Harbour Bridge, two of Sydney's largest attractions, are great, but they had nothing on the parade. Sydney's Mardi Gras was one of the strangest things I have ever experienced. Not everything in Australia is about flam- boyant parades and busy downtown streets, though. I did come here to study. Macquarie University, where I'm studying, is quite different from the University of Kansas. The 40 year old school prides itself on being one of the oldest universities in Australia. The students commute from neighboring suburbs because the university offers no on-campus housing and most of the stores and offices on campus are closed by 5 p.m. Macqaurie's bar stays open late every night because it's a wet campus. Another difference is that Macquarie lacks a campus newspaper. At the University, I took for granted having something to browse through every morning, and I've come to miss the benefits afforded by a daily paper — even if my morning routine consisted of looking at the pictures and doing the crossword and Sudoku. Not having a newspaper is really the only thing I can complain about. Who needs a morning routine when lectures don't start until 11 a.m. and are optional anyway? Students often choose to skip class in favor of going to the beach or driving downtown because the professors use it lecture, a system that records each lecture and posts it online for students to download later. It's a beautiful way of doing things. Despite the palm trees and sunny beaches, Australia is a surprisingly hostile continent. Some of the world's most venomous snakes and spiders call Australia home. The funnel-web spider, the deadliest of them all, actually lives in Sydney and its surrounding areas. Sharks can be found all around the Australian coast. Shark attacks are relatively rare, but a very real threat comes from the box jellyfish — a thumbnail sized jellyfish that can kill a person in four minutes with just one sting. Even without poisonous animals, Australia still is a formidable place. The interior of the continent is so hot and dry that only 10 percent of the country's population actually lives there. The searing heat of the outback can be attributed in part to the fact that Australia has no ozone layer. Ever wonder how Australians get so tan? Its because nothing stands between the UV rays from the sun and their skin. During study abroad orientation, university employees made sure to announce that a person would burn in less than 20 minutes without sunscreen. In fact, it's impossible to find any sunscreen here with an SPE below 30. Considering the strength of the sun and the overabundance of poisonous creatures, I've developed a theory as to why Australians are so cheerful. They're just happy to still be alive. Studying abroad is not nearly as difficult as I thought it would be. Maybe it's because Australia welcomes everyone with open arms or because e-mail and Skype, an Internet phone company, keep me in constant contact with family and friends from home. It's almost embarrassing to think that the biggest frustration I've faced since arriving in Sydney is having to deal with the fact that I can't watch March Madness. Australians are indifferent to the Jawhaws and NCAA basketball. Then again, it's possible that having an aborigine teach me to throw a boomerang, snorkeling on the Great Barrier Reef and walking across the Sydney Harbour Bridge all might be worth missing a few basketball games. — Edited by James Pinick 101 Do not throw objects at crocodile.

Kansas will take its turn in the famed Chicago arena on Friday night when it begins the NCAA tournament at 6:10 p.m. Two layhawks already have experience in the arena. Freshman guard Sherron Collins and sophomore forward Julian Wright both grew up in Chicago, where they played during high school. Collins has only fond memories. His team played three games there, and left with victories in all three. Wright didn't fare quite as well. During his junior year, his high school team won at the United Center to advance to the state tournament. His senior year, the team lost its super-sectional game at the arena. "It's fun playing there," Collins said. "Michael Jordan played there, so when I make a shot, I think, Michael Jordan made a shot from here."

Spring practice brings new outlook on season 》 FOOTBALL For many people, the most recent memory of Jayhawk football is the 42-17 trouncing the team received at Missouri last November. While fans have been able to shift their focus toward March Madness and spring training, the memory still lingers for the members of the Kansas football team. But the team looks to erase the bad taste in its mouth when spring practices start today. BY ASHER FUSCO The team's failure to make a bowl game placed glum punctuation on an up-and-down season that was marked by inconsistency in the secondary and passing game. However, these shortcomings are providing plenty of motivation heading into spring practices. The players went through drills designed to improve their speed, endurance and change-of-direction skills, with a focus on bulking up in the offseason. The players used the disappointment that came along with last year's 6-6 record to get them out of bed for the early morning training sessions. Despite their willingness to "If that's not motivation, you are in the wrong sport," coach Mark Mangino said. "We're angered by it, and we're determined to get it right." "The players are looking forward to spring ball," Mangino said. "I think they've had enough of the indoor complex at 6 in the morning. They're anxious to get started." participate in conditioning, spring practices provide the players with a much-needed change of pace. Along with a fresh state of mind, Kansas has some blanks on the depth chart that need to be filled before the season begins. The 14 practice sessions could help sort out some of the questions surrounding the roster. Mangino said several positions in the backfield and secondary were up for grabs over the next four weeks. At positions like quarterback and defensive end, nothing is set in stone. Senior fullback Brandon McAnderson will compete with sophomore running backs Jake Sharp and Angus Quigley for carriers. Quugley has made progress in his recovery from a leg injury that cost him all of last season. The most visible position battle will be between sophomore quarterbacks Kerry Meier and Todd Reeing.

Kansas beat Penn State. 18-5 Morrison leads offensive charge BY ALISSA BAUER Luckily for the Jayhawks, he stuck with it. Morrison went 3-3 with five KB1 to lead Kansas (12-8) to an 18-5 victory over the Nittany Lions of Penn State (2-9). The victory is the third midweek victory in a row to be won via blowout. "I was about ready to hang up everything I own with baseball after my rounds of BP on the field before the game," Morrison said. "I felt pretty much terrible before this game started, so I was kind of wondering how this game was going to go." Before the game Tuesday afternoon, junior Erik Morrison had a rough batting practice. In fact, the layhawks' starting shortstop felt shaky about the coming game. Wasting no time, the layhawks got hot in a hurry.

The Jayhawks (17-7-1) have taken 10 straight from the Kangaroos since their last loss in the series in 2002. Kansas extended its 2-0 lead in the bottom of the third inning to 5-0 thanks to sophomore shortstop Stevie Cristo. Cristo cracked a three-run home run off the center field scoreboard. "Stevie's really starting to swing the bat well," coach Tracy Bunge said. "She's got good bat swing; we know what she's capable of doing." --- One shy of matching her freshman year total in home runs already this season, Bunge said that though Cristose was a line-drive hitter, she could elevate the ball enough to send it out of the park. Sophomore center fielder Dougie McCaulley was 3-for-4 in the leadoff spot. She also hit her team-leading fifth double of the season. SEE SOFTBALL ON PAGE 8B 2B --- SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY MARCH 14 2007 >> SECOND ROUND OR BUST Nostaglia part of March Madness Let's get warmed up for the greatest sports spectacle in America by reminiscing about some of the University of Kansas' most memorable NCAA tournament moments. However, it would be ignorant of me to try to rank all the moments in lajhawk history. Below is a top-seven countdown of Kansas' NCAA tournament moments — both good and bad — since the day of my birth (Oct. 18, 1984). 7) J.R. Giddens' three-pointer: J.R. Giddens was playing better than anyone on the team. It was Bill Self's first season as Kansas' coach, and the expectations weren't too high. Just before time ran out on the season, Giddens hit a long-distance three-pointer at the top of the key to send the game to overtime against Georgia Tech in the Elite Eight. The Yellow jackets were favored to win, which they did in overtime, but it didn't matter. No one had expected Kansas to make it so far with this young roster and a new coach. It was probably the only loss that was viewed as a moral victory in recent Kansas history. 6) Losing to Duke in the 1991 championship. In the semifinal game, Roy Williams and Kansas defeated Williams' mentor Dean Smith and North Carolina. On the other side of the bracket, Duke defeated the heavily favored and undefeated, UNIV Running Rebels. It seemed like destiny for Kansas to go forward and beat Williams' old rival, Duke, in the championship. It would have been the same way the lajhawks did it in the 1988 championship run. Mikhail A. Rakitin Kansas couldn't catch Duke in the final game, and the layhawk nation felt its first championship disappointment in decades, losing 72-65. BY ERIC JORGENSEN KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST JORGENSEN@KANSAN.COM 5) Wayne Simien misses the turnaround shot against Bucknell. It was a shot the All-American Simien had made countless times during his career at Kansas. After struggling the whole game, Kansas had an opportunity to even the game against Bucknell in the first-round match-up. No Jayhawk fan imagined Kansas could lose to Bucknell, especially not in the first round. So when Simien missed his turnaround jumper at the tree-throw line in the final seconds, the shock left thousands speechesless. Simien made hundreds of simple shots in his career, but it was the one he missed fans will remember forever. 4) The 1996-97 team loses to Arizona: That team is considered by many to be the best in Kansas history. Three players on that team now have their names in the ratters of Allen Fieldhouse Jacque Vaughn, Rae Lafrentz and Paul Pierce. The team was the heavy favorite to take the National Championship. Led by Miles Simon and Mike Bibby, the No. 4-seeded Arizona Wildcats met up with No. 1-seeded Kansas layhawks in the Sweet Sixteen, and defeated Kansas, 85-82, in a one of the most surprising and heartbreaking losses in Kansas history. 3) Defeating No. 1 Arizona in the Elite Eight: Years after defeating Kansas in the 1997 tournament, Arizona came to Allen Fieldhouse during the 2002-03 season and defeated Arizona again. rematch in the Elite Eight was huge. Two days before they were to play Arizona, Kansas defeated Duke and sent the fan base into a frenzy. Thus, when the Jayhawks defeated the Wildcats 78-75 and advanced to its second Final Four in a row, fans took to the streets to celebrate like never before. 2) The Block. The most famous play in Kansas basketball history is not one Kansas fans are fond of Syracuse's Hakim Warrick's block of Kansas' Michael Lee is possibly the most famous, and most replayed, block in basketball history. Kansas had battled back in the championship game to cut the lead to three. Kansas had the momentum and likely would have won the game had it gone to overtime. Michael Lee had been on fire all tournament by knocking down almost every three-pointer he shot. So when he fired up a last second three-pointer, the chances he would have made it and sent the game into a Jayhawk favored overtime was likely. Of course, as everyone knows, Wartick didn't allow for that. 1) Danny and the Miracles: Through all the good and the bad moments, none is as sweet, memorable or replayed as Danny Manning giving a fist pump after defeating Oklahoma 83-79. Mannings fist pump, coach Larry Brown's sideline celebration and then the team and coaching staff storming the floor is a moment Kansas fans will love to watch for the rest of their lives. The Jawahaws weren't the favorites, but they fought hard and followed the player-of-the-year to a National Championship. All this made the celebration that much more exciting and memorable.

It is much larger than Allen Fieldhouse. It won't be the first time this season that the two have returned home. In early December, the lajhawks lost to DePaul 64-57 at the Allstate Arena, Since then, Collins has been given a major role in the offense, and Wright has taken his numbers to superstar levels. "It has a feel like an NBA floor," Collins said. "But once the game starts, you just concentrate on that." Coach Bill Self said that he was glad the players weren't having their first home game during the tournament, because now they knew what to expect from family members and friends trying to contact them. "There are a lot of distractions you deal with, whether it be tickets, seeing people, people calling wanting tickets or people disappointed because you can't get them tickets," he said. "That is going to happen this week. Sherron and Julian won't be able to get tickets for everybody, so there will probably be people mad at them for that." Wright said he was going to decide who was on his ticket list by today so it wouldn't be a distraction to him for the rest of the week. "My family will always come first," he said. "It's not that bad, really. A lot of people are understanding." Chicago is also familiar territory for Self. He coached at the University of Illinois before moving to Kansas. Self won't have to worry too much about receiving a hostile welcome, because the Illini are playing this weekend in Ohio. He's not anticipating a lot of demands on his time this weekend. "I doubt it," he said. "Believe it or not, there were some people who were quite upset with me when I left Illinois. There won't be a lot of people calling for tickets."

Jayhawk Bookstore ...at the top of Naismith Hill MS i THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, MARCH 14, 2007 BASEBALL 3B K Sarah Leonard/KANSAN Freshman infielder Robby Price fields a ball at shortstop. The Jayhawks scored 14 runs in the first three innings before being shut out in the fourth, Kansas won the game 18-5 against Penn State Tuesday night. Pitcher has solid outing BY SHAWN SHROYER If anything was as impressive as Kansas' offensive output Tuesday, it was the performance by junior pitcher Andres Esquibel. In his second start of the season, Esquibel (3-0) cruised as the jayhawk offense hit up the scoreboard behind him. Best of all for coach Ritch Price, Esquibel didn't have to use up too much energy to earn the victory. "He's been very special and were going to use him a lot," Price said. "The best thing that happened tonight was he only pitched four innings. We didn't think weed have him available for Friday night. Now he'll be completely ready." Tuesday was the first start for Esquibel, a right hander who's been used predominantly out of the bullpen, since Feb. 4 against Hawaii Hilo. In that game, Kansas put up nine runs of support in Esquibel's five innings. Against Penn State, though, the Kansas offense put that number to shame, posting 14 runs during Esquibel's four inning outing. As a result, Esquibel had to try to keep from cooling off on the bench during Kansas' four and five-run innings. "The long innings kind of hurt," Esquibel said. "It was hard to get back on track once I got back out there, but it was nice to have some runs." The down time didn't appear to have any ill effects on Esquibel, a transfer from Palomar Junior College, as he put up some impressive numbers of his own on the mound. In his four innings of work, Esquibel allowed only two Nittany Lions to reach base — one by way of a walk and the other on a single in the first inning. After that, he was perfect, retiring 11 straight batters — five via the strikeout And while Kansas took its time to pile up the runs, Esquibel worked quickly, averaging only 13 pitches per inning. He was taken out after throwing just 52 pitches, but not because he was on a pitch count. "I think we just had so many runs we wanted to get some more guys in," Esquibel said. To top it off, he lowered his team-leading ERA to 1.16. Tuesday's performance was yet another solid one from Esquibel, who continues to close in on a starting spot in the weekend rotation. In addition to his perfect record and team-best ERA, he's gone 12 2/3 consecutive innings without allowing an earned run. Esquibel is content as a midweek starter and weekend reliever if that's where his coaches want him. But the wheels are already in motion for Esquibel to take over a weekend班. Price said he talked about it with pitching coach Ryan Graves, but instead of adding Esquibel to the rotation just yet, they will switch junior left-hander Zach Ashwood and sophomore left-hander Nick Czyz around in the weekend rotation so Ashwood will pitch on Saturday and Czyz will pitch on Friday. "I think my role right now is helping the team win," Esquibel said, "so I'm fine with it." Kansas 18, Penn State 5 Penn State 000 000 320—5 6 3 Kansas 545 040 00x—1819 2 Whitehill, Karr (2), Amato (3), Lutz (Wyner, 7), Lorentz (8) and Yodice; Esquilid, Marcin (5), Hayakawa (7), Lane (8), Ellenbaker (6) and Afiner, Servias, Souther. W — Esquibel 3-0. L — Whitehill 0-3. 2B — PSU: Yodice, Leitgeb; KU: Ro. Price, Bedford, Land. 3B — PSU: Blackburn. HR — KU: Morrison, Ry. Price. Records — Penn State 2-9, Kansas 12-8. Because Czyz has been an innings-eater for Kansas, Price said that should save him from using too many of his releivers until Saturday to support Ashwood, who's gone six innings only twice this season. "I was actually going to make the switch and put him in the rotation," Price said of Esquibel, "but Coach Graves talked me out of it. He thinks we need to give Ashwood another opportunity. Our feeling about it is protects our bullpen the best. Kansan sportswriter Shawn Shroyer can be contacted at sshroyer@ kansan.com. "Right now we're going to leave it as it is and if it doesn't work here in a week or two, we'll look at it again," Price said. Edited by James Pinick BASEBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B) A one-out walk to junior right fielder Brock Simpson set the table for a three-run home run by Morrison. Junior second baseman Ryne Price grabbed a homer as well in his next at bat. games in his first at bat. A Penn State error landed junior outfielder John Allman on second base, allowing Price to score the first run of the game. The five run rally in the first put Penn State in a sizable hole. After the second and third innings, however, the Nittany Lions found themselves in a canyon. Every Wednesday is College Night! "I think when you struggled scoring runs over the weekend, it's crucial," coach Ritch Price said about scoring early. Every Wednesday is College Night!

Allman doubled to start the four-run rally for his eighth multi-hit game of the season. Four straight base hits drove the score up, as all four of the lahayacks' runs in the second came with two outs. Sarah Leonard/KANSAN By the end of the second, the 9-0 score meant Penn State surrendered more runs to Kansas in two innings than it had to any other opponent so far this season. And Kansas was just getting started. After having problems against No. 9 Arkansas, Kansas could do no wrong Tuesday night. Junior pitcher Andrea Esquibel throws a pitch during Tuesday's game in Hogland Ballpark. During four innings of play, esquibel shut out Penn State, leaving the game with the score 14-0. Robby Price led off another scoring rampage again in the bottom of the third, Penn State's starting pitcher Seth Whitillh (0-3) left in the second, giving way to John Karr. Karr lasted just long enough to walk three straight to load the bases before making room for right-hander Gary Amato in the bottom of the third. Fall they did. The lajahawks scored another four runs in the bottom of the fifth, bringing them to a grand total of 18. "We really didn't struggle against Arkansas, we just left a lot of runners in scoring position." Allman said. "We've been swinging the bats well, we've just got to keep battling through our at bats. Things are going to fall" Amato didn't do any better. Morrison welcomed Amato to the game with an RBI single to right field. All of the batters Amato inherted in the five-run fifth scored. 000 14 The rivalry may be intense, but so is the fun. $SAVE | USED AUTO PARTS | SAVE $ Starters} Alternators} Wheels} Auto Glass} Body Parts¹ The first game featuring the rivalry that seems to grow in intensity kicks off tonight at 6 p.m. Confidence and its value continues to be the overlying theme amongst the layhawks. A commanding victory over a Big 10 opponent heading into today's in state rivalry versus No. 12 Wichita State will no doubt boost that confidence. "It was a lot more fun when the Baty brothers were here," coach Price said, referring to former All-Big 12 Jayhawks and Wichita natives Ryan and Matt Batt "Being from Wichita, honest to God, the emotion that those two guys had in the dugout was like it was a College World Series game. I'm over it — I'm a Big 12 guy and we're preparing our team to play Texas A&M. But it's still a lot of fun to play. It's a great rivalry. They're not walking in here and kicking the dog out of us anymore like they did for 20 years — although they may do it tomorrow." We have the parts you're looking for.

NHL Penguins stay in Pittsburgh ASSOCIATED PRESS PITTSBURGH — Stars Sidney Crosby, Egent Malink and Jordan Staal give the Penguins a bright future. Now, the youngsters will develop in Pittsburgh. The Penguins and government officials ended months of difficult negotiations, agreeing to a $290 million arena deal that ensures the team will stay in Pittsburgh. Keys to the agreement included the government waiving up-front money from the team, the Penguins receiving about $10 million compensation for delays, and the sides agreeing to share responsibility for cost overruns. "Well, this is a great day for hockey," co-owner Mario Lemieux said Tuesday. "I'm glad that I'm here today announcing a deal with the city, the county and the state, to stay here for 30 years. That was my goal and I'm glad we finally achieved it. "We would like to enjoy what's coming with this young team," Lemieux said, adding that the extra arena revenue will help the team spend more in an effort to retain Crosby, the league's leading scorer, rookies Malkin and Staal, and other core players. The Penguins will continue to play at 46-year-old Mellon Arena and hope to begin play in the new arena sometime during the 2009-10 season. President Ken Sawyer said it's possible the arena will not be ready for the start of that season. Gow. Ed Rendell said the negotiations were more complicated than those to finance four new baseball and football stadiums in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia in recent years because other cities were bidding for the team to move. "With the other four stadium deals (Pirates, Steelers, Phillies, Eagles) none of those teams had an open competitor that was trying to take the team," Rendell said. "Here we had Kansas City making a very good, some might say terrific, offer and we had to respond." As a result, the Penguins will not pay $8.5 million up front for the arena, as government officials first proposed, Rendell said. Instead, the team will receive $10 million to compensate for delays, property purchased near the arena, and to help with marketing.

LAWRENCE OPEN 24 WORDS EVERYDAY WHERE THE BUYS HELD THE WORK WE WANT TO BE THE CHOPPER! KANSAN FILE PHOTO WOMEN'S BASKETBALL SEASON REVIEW Senior guard Shaquina Mosley spark a lake each season run. The Jayhawks finished 4-12 in the Big 12 conference after starting the conference season 0-9. Yet another uphill battle Jayhawks look for answers in freshman class. KANSAS 21 BY ASHER FUSCO the departure of 2006 Allied ten- nancees Crystal Kemp and Erica Hallam left Kansas with unanswered questions heading into this season. As Kansas (11-20, 4-12) played its first few non-conference games, the focus was squarely on the incoming freshman, one of the program's recruiting classes. Guard Kelly Kohn and forward Sade Morris were the freshmen who made the most immediate impact. Kohn began the season in the starting lineup and asserted herself as a force on the offensive end. Kohn showed the versatility to create opportunities for her teammates as a point guard or to score as the teams shooting guard. Kohn averaged 10 points per game in nonconference play, tallying a career-high 23 against Northern Illinois. Morris also started the season in the starting lineup and jumped out to a quick start in the scoring column. Morris scored 14 points at Creighton and notched a career-high 15 against Northern Illinois. As many freshmen do. Kohn and Morris seemed to hit a wall once conference play began. During a four-game stretch in January and February, Kohn averaged six points per game on 7-for-32 shooting. This same period of time saw Morris relegated to the bench because of tentative and erratic offensive play. She averaged four points per game and only played six minutes per game. The struggles of Kohn and Morris coincided with the low point of the team as a whole. After losing at Texas A&M on Feb 3, Kansas was 0-9 in conference play and hidden in the cellar of the Big 12 Conference standings. Although many of the team's losses occurred in close, hard-fought games, the possibility of not winning a single game during the conference season was brought up in almost any conversation about the Jayhawks. Luckily for Kansas, Henrickson found some secret weapons hidden at the end of the bench. The unlikely contributors were senior guards Shaquna Mosley and Sharita Smith. "At the beginning of the season, we were struggling," freshman forward Danielle McCray said. "We knew it was going to be our time sometimes." Mosley, the former junior College Player of the Year, transferred to TICKETCITY.com MARCH MADNESS March Madness is here! Don't miss a shot!

Through the first season and a half of her tenure as a Jayhawk. Mosley was never able to turn his exceptional talent into consistently strong performances. This winter, something changed. The 5-foot-6 guard suddenly transformed into a vocal leader and played well enough to earn All- Big 12 Second Team honors. In Big 12 regular season games, Moisey averaged 15 points, six rebounds and four assists. "A lot of people asked me if I regretted coming here last "I think we're headed in the right direction.I think we were able to build some momentum down the stretch." of parts working in unison, Kansas became a finely tuned defensive machine. The Jayhawks won five of their final nine games and managed to escape the bottom of the standings and upset a NCAA tournament-bound Oklahoma State team in the first round of the conference tournament. BONNIE HENRICKSON Women's basketball coach Smith, the team's long holdover from coach Marian Washington's era, began the season as a seldom-used reserve used to bolster the Jayhawk defense. By mid-January, she had forced her way into the starting line-up where she showcased her airtight defense and leadership skills. When Mosley and Smith sparked the team, it seemed to energize Kohn and the other freshmen. With all Smith's contributions rarely showed up on the stat sheet, but she shut down nearly every opponent she guarded and gained notoriety around the conference as a relentless competitor. season," Mosley said. "I don't regret it one bit. It's only going to make me a better person." "I think were headed in the right direction." Henrickson said. "I think we were able to build some momentum down the stretch." With the departure of Mosley and Smith, many questions surround the Jayhawks Will freshman forward Danielle McCray fulfill her All Big 12 potential? Will Henrickson be able to recruit a capable post player? Will Kohn fine-tune his jump shot enough to one day become the Big 12 scoring leader? More than likely there will be a whole new set of questions with every passing month. If the past is any indication, the answers could be found in some unexpected places.

Young Jayhawks grow KANSAN FILE PHOTO Guard Kelly Kohn, above, forward Danielle McCray, center, and forward Sade Morris are three of the Jayhawk freshmen who improved and contributed the most as the season went along. All three are expected to see significant playing time next season Youth not an excuse for Henrickson as freshmen steadily improved throughout season BY CASE KEEFER Coach Bonnie Henrickson vowed she wouldn't use youth as a scapegoat, despite half of her lineup being freshmen. "We can't use youth as an excuse," she said before the regular season began, "If we do that, we'll have to excuse the whole season." Henrickson kept her promise. It wasn't that Kansas didn't go through its fair share of adversity, though. But Henrickson's continued positive demeanor rubbed off on her young players. The freshmen began playing their best basketball as the season wound down, and Kansas finished 5-4 in its final month of play. In fact, the jayhawks, after an entire month without a winning game, started Big 12 conference play at 0-9 and lost by more than 25 points twice. "Even though we couldn't find a way to win, we tried to get better every day." Henrickson said. "And that speaks to who they are as people, speaks to their character, resiliency, and fortitude. You win with kids like that." Now that the season has ended, it's time to review the season of the seven freshmen. LaChelda Jacobs — Jacobs' season was puzzling. The guard cracked the starting lineup for five games. But by the end of the year she was buried deep on the lajawk bench. Occasionally, Henrickson pointed to poor practices as a reason for the change. If Jacobs wants to make a difference in the future, she must cut down on turnovers and have more assists. Jacobs committed 47 turnovers, but dished out only 18 assists. Kelly Kohn — As the most heralded of the freshmen, Kohn had a lot of hype to live up to. She averaged a solid 10 points per game but finished at a disturbingly low 34 percent from the field. Henrickson said she noticed inconsistencies in Kohn's shot as part of the problem. As long as she improves her shooting and keeps hitting shots under pressure, Kohn could be an All-Big 12 team candidate as early next year. Danielle McCray The forward may have the prettiest shot on campus. McCray also had the best story of the season. When she arrived in Lawrence, McCray had trouble in conditioning drills, which limited her playing time. She overcame those weaknesses to start the final seven games of the year, where averaged nearly 15 points and seven rebounds. With that kind of work ethic, don't be surprised if McCray rises to become the face of the program. Sade Morris — She began and entered the season on a high note. It was the middle where Morris struggled. Henrickson said part of her difficulties stemmed from a lack of aggressiveness. When Morris is playing to her potential, though, she possesses a combination of long-range shooting and physical play under the basket. Lindsay Ballweg — The shooting guard didn't see much playing time this season. Despite a standout performance at Late Night at the Phog, where she scored nine points and a reputation for having a great shooting touch, she spent 21 of the 32 games on the bench. Porscha Weddington — Because of her size and strength, the forward muscled her way into the starting lineup for 12 games. Aggravation set in, however, when Weddington couldn't find a way to use her natural abilities. She never scored more than six points a game and wound up back on the bench. If Weddington can find a way to consistently go up strong with the ball, she could transform into a force in the low post. Rebecca Feickert — The center from Goodrich, N.D., was not expected to contribute in her first season. When Feickert did play, though, she exceeded expectations. She pulled down three rebounds in 12 minutes against Iowa State and made two of the four three-pointers she attempted during the season. At 6-foot 2, Feickert's height, mixed with her ability to knock down shots from the perimeter, could give opponents headaches in the future. THE ONLY LAND LOCKED HARBOUR THAT MAKES SENSE. HARBOUR LIGHTS SINCE 1936 10:11 MASSACHUSETTS KU Students' Graduation Headquarters Jayhawk Bookstore ...at the top of Naismith Hill As always, Henrickson was able to extract the positives from a season that ended without any chance for a postseason bid. "In time, we'll be able to walk away from this with great pride with the progress we did make," she said. "We played with a great amount of pride for what was on the front of our uniform." The Jayhawk freshmen think that this pride and experience will be precisely what lead them to success. knowing it was going to be our time sometime." McCray said. "This year I've learned a lot and in the off-season I'm just going to work to get better and make Kansas better."

Sophomore Valerie George took to the mound for the Jayhawks George (3-2) allowed two runs off five hits, but struck out a career-high eight batters. "Valerie threw five really good innings. Didn't look good in the sixth; her ball was starting to elevate." Bunge said. George showed signs of fatigue in the fifth inning, allowing a runner to advance to third after a wild pitch with two outs in the inning. She got herself out of the jam by striking out the next batter. Senior pitcher Kassie Humphreys, who didn't start either game of the series, came in to close out the seventh innning, notching her third save of the season. "We didn't use Humphreys because she's going to be a work horse here for us for the second half of the year," coach Bunge said.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, MARCH 14, 2007 SPORTS 9B COMMENTARY New Nike experiment fails This time,the swoosh went too far. When Florida played Tennessee a few weeks back, followers of college hoops may have noticed something a little different about the reigning national champs' uniforms. Each Gator was modeling a shrunken top, complete with alligator-scale printing, and shorts so baggy Michael Jordan would've questioned the aesthetic direction he helped send the game in as a fresh-faced NBA newcomer. BY DANIEL MOLINA D BY Daniel MOLINA KANSAN COLUMNIST DMOLINA@KANSAN.COM The uniform templates are yet another example in a long line of fashion statements chimped out by the Microsoft of college athletics. It seems like each year a handful of schools in Nike's stable receive ultra-exclusive digs. Cutting edge, ridiculous; whatever the verdicts are, they're almost always successful in one regard — generating lots of buzz and message board banter. Who along with Florida was chosen to wear the company's latest jersey experiment? Drum roll please ... Ohio State, Arizona and Syracuse. Each school wore the outits in their respective conference tournals last week, to mixed reviews. The switch to the outfits, temporary as of now, is borderline acceptable for only two of the four teams, Ohio State and Florida, as both have experienced recent success. The second pair, Arizona and Syracuse, should know better. They both have legendary coaches and recent success to go along with respectable basketball histories. I think the new-age tops are worth giving a try. When worn with the undershirts, they have an Under Armour sleeveless to them and the smaller details on each teams' versions give a nod to the schools' past in a creative way. Plus, there's the functional aspect. Players say it helps eliminate opponents from grabbing their jersey to get an advantage on defense. It's when you take a gander at the short part of the ensemble that hilarity ensues and each school's reputation takes a slight hit. So far the best analogy I've been able to come up with for them is a pair of extremely high-water "hammer" pants. Kansas fans should be counting their lucky stars the Athletics Department ditched Nike as its official apparel provider back in 2005. Although it's doubtful Bill's boys would have donned the new getups, the basketball program would still be within grasp of the mad scientists over at Nike. It's other template currently being force-fed on college basketball, the "shoulder slashes," if you will, is already growing old. And let's not forget the "Elite" jerseys released to a select group of schools a few years back and still in use today, sometimes in combination with the shoulder slashes. ASSOCIATED PRESS O If any program is above Nikes "Elite" distinction and conforming to half of college basketball, and high school, sadly enough, it's Kansas. Some people, such as Nikie Ohio State wore Nike's form-fitting uniforms last week at the Big Ten Tournament in Chicago. executives, may think it's great that you can take one glance at a team and know if it's a Nike school. Personally, I think it offends each program's unique history. I'll take Adidas' simple, yet effective style instead of the swoosh's "premium performance" uniforms any day because let's face it: Nike wants each of its schools to stand out from the crowd ... the Nike way. Molina is an Olathe sophomore in journalism. >> PGA Head games and power advantages ASSOCIATED PRESS ORLANDO, Fla. — Arnold Palmer can change the pat at his golf course. He can't change what he said 47 years ago. "It would give me 280," Palmer told him. "Doesn't 280 always win the Open?" One of the most famous exchanges with Palmer happened in the 1960 U.S. Open at Cherry Hills, when he was seven shots behind going into the final round. Speaking with Pittsburgh sports writer Bob Drum, Palmer wondered what would happen if he drove the green on the first hole and went on to shoot 65. What Palmer would have said today is, "It would give me even par. Doesn't even par always win the Open?" Par has been a fixation in this country for more than 50 years, dating to 1951 when two par 5s were converted to par 4s at Oakland Hills and the U.S. Open played as a par 70. Ben Hogan won and later said he was glad he brought "this monster" to its knees. Would he have said the same if he had finished at 1-under 287 instead of 7-over 287? It's all about perception. "We can get caught up too much in numbers," Ben Crenshaw said Monday. "You still add up your score at the end of the round. And they're still going to give the trophy away to the guy with the lowest score." That's worth noting because twice in the last three weeks on the Florida swing, the courses have played as a par 70. Mark Wilson won the four-man playoff at the Honda Classic after finishing at 5-under 275 at PGA National, which sounds like a more grueling week than if they had finished at 13-under 275. Now, Palmer has converted Nos 4 and 16 at Bay Hill into par 4s, and it will play as a par 70 for the first time. What he really meant was that he was tired of seeing the world's best players reach the green in two with a 5-iron in their hands, and this was the most cost-effective way of restoring the challenge. "I did it just to make the golf course a little more competitive to par." Palmer said. Take two weeks ago at the Honda Classic. The four players had to return Monday morning to resume the playoff on the 10th hole, which had been converted to a par 4 at more than 500 yards. Wilson isn't a big hitter and had a fairway metal left for his second shot. Camilo Virlegas is a power player and hit 4-iron. Or at least making it feel like a challenge. If it had been slightly longer as a par 5, Wilson would have laid up and Villegas could have reached in two. Power always has been an advantage in golf. More than anything, changing par matters more in the head than on the card. "You're more bummed making a 5 on a par 5 than a par 4," Mark Calcavecchia said. "If they change it into a par 4 and you make 5, you figure you're not the only guy making bogey, it's a head game." Todd Hamilton might have the best solution. The former British Open champion would like to see only one number on the signs at every tee, and that would be to identity what hole you're playing. In some respects, Palmer is going back to the old days. Bay Hill used to be a par 71, with Nos. 4 and 16 as par 58 and the opening hole as a par 5. Over time, No. 1 went to a 4, while the other two were lengthened and became par 5s. "Get rid of the par. Get rid of the yardage," he said. "Go play the course." Joey Sindelar has played Bay Hill every year since 1984, and he can recall when the 16th was a par 4. He has seen that hole play as one of the toughest and one of the easiest, even though all that matters is the number he writes down. Jayhawks eliminate past flaws COMMENTARY After two straight first-round disappointments for coach Bill Self, lajhawk fans are cautious about looking past Friday's game against play in winner Niagara, and rightfully so. BY KAYVON SARRAF KANSAN COLUMNIST KSARRAF@KANSAN.COM Fans can take a deep breath and relax because those former teams had serious flaws that this year's squad looks to have patched up. Even beyond those issues, there is Self's squad two seasons ago had more turmoil than any Kansas team in recent memory. After starting the season ranked as the nation's No. 1 team, the team entered the tournament losers of five out of the last eight regular season games and ended up a three seed. Star guard Keith Langford was nursing an injured ankle and recovering from a virus. Self inherited a squad full of Roy Williams' recruits that seemed to struggle to buy into his system of defense and toughness. Often during games, you could see Aaron Miles or Keith Langford shout back at their head coach. The fact that Williams admitted to keeping in regular contact with his former players throughout the season probably did not help matters. a clear difference in talent between the two squads. The 2004-2005 team had one future NBA player in Wayne Simien, the 29th pick of the 2005 draft. This year's team has five potential first-round picks in Julian Wright, Brandon Rush, Darrell Arthur, Mario Chalmers and Sherron Collins. To emphasize the difference in talent, walk-on Christian Moody played 32 minutes in the Bucknell upset in 2005. Last year's team had the same core as this season, but with two major differences; experience and depth. — led by three freshmen and three sophomores — got cocky and failed to bring the intensity against Bradley that led the layhawks to a four seed. With all the key components returning this season, we can only hope that they learned their lesson. Like the current team, last year's squad entered the tournament on a roll as Big 12 Tournament champions and having won 14 of its last 15 games. After defeating a powerful Texas squad in the final, the team While Self brought in seldom-used guard Jeff Hawkins and the absent-minded C.J. Giles off the bench last season to form his seven man rotation, this year's team goes a legitimate nine deep. McDonald's All Americans Collins and Arthur provide an offensive spark with juniors Darnell Jackson and Rodrick Stewart recognizing their roles and providing stability when necessary. While many jayhawk fans are still apprehensive after the past few seasons and refuse to break down a potential Villanova or Kentucky match-up with anyone, they can go ahead and start examining the bottom half of the West Region with confidence.

Edited by Stacey Couch MLB Twins, Cards take it easy in training ASSOCIATED PRESS Puijols grounded out and walked against the two-time AL Cy Young Award winner during the Minnesota Twins' 5-2 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday. FORT MYERS, Fla. — It would have been a great regular-season match-up: Johan Santana vs. Albert Puiols. "This was like my third time faceing him," Puiols said. "He wasn't throwing 100 percent. He was just trying to get ready for the season. He knows what he's doing out there. You always look forward to facing the best pitchers in the game." In his other at bat, the 2005 NL MVP flied out against Dennis Reyns in the fifth. "He's a great player," Santana said. "That's part of my job, facing great players. I'm sure he feels the same way." Pujols has averaged 41.6 home runs during the past six seasons. Santana has 55 victories in the past three seasons, an average of 18.3. "They're both very aware of each other, let's put it that way." Cardinals manager Tony La Russa said. Santana allowed two hits, struck out four and walked two in four scoreless innings. His ERA is 1.00. best lefty in the game. You can take the word 'lefty' out, and I would say that, too." "I just like it when I write Santana in the lineup," Twins manager R. Gardenhire said. "When I do write his name down, he makes us all look smart, Very smart. I think he's the Cardinals shortstop David Eckstein started for the first time since the spring training opener Feb. 28, when he strained his left oblique muscle. He went 1-for-3 with a double and an RBI groundout. "He looked good out there." La Russa said. Minnesota's Michael Cuddyer had two hits, including a double, and Alexi Casilla had an RBI single and a sacrifice fly. Cardinals pitcher Kip Wells struck out three in the scoreless innings, allowing two hits and a walk. "He has pitched very well."

In an 11-4 victory against Kansas City on Monday, Tommy Murphy, Jeff Mathis and Erick Aybar combined for six hits, three home runs and six RBI. "There's depth there on the outfield side," said manager Mike Scioseia. "I don't know if you're going to say there's a lead dog because you could handicap them every day and one guy might be a little ahead of the others depending on what's going on. But they're all showing they can play the game. We saw the pop in Tommy Murphy's bat." Murphy, in right field, raised his spring average to 321 and drove in three runs with a fielder's choice grounder and a two-run home run. Mathis had two home runs and three RBI while Aybar just missing some squared them up "I'm ready for anything that happens. Starting, relieving, I don't care.Either one.Last year I did both" went 2-for-4 and scored two runs. HECTOR CARRASCO Angels pitcher "It's good to see left come out and swing the bat," said Scioscia. "He's been swinging the bat well but pitches. Today he and had a good day. It's got to be a confidence builder for him. "A guy like Aybar, he just gets hits. The depth is there." Earlier in the day, alley starters Jered Weaver and Bartolo Colon both threw 45 pitches in a bullpen session and looked good. It's still too early to know if they'll be ready for the opening of the season, but Hector Carrasco, who could fill in for either one, threw four strong innings against Kansas City, giving up four hits and no runs and striking out three. "They tell me they are going to stretch me out here because they don't know if those guys are going to be ready," Carrasco said. "I'm ready for anything that happens. Starting, relieving I don't care. Either one. Last year I did both. I hope those guys get ready fast. Colon and Weaver, we need those guys." hawkchalk.com bracketblowout hawkchalk.com bracket blowout register now at hawkchalk.com to enter! WIN A FREE iPod® NANO! Which team will score last?

The fourth annual "KU in the Capitol" event featured more than 20 organizations, a chili lunch sponsored by the KU Alumni Association and a speech by Chancellor Robert Hemenway, who spoke about the University's 100,000th Kansas Honor Scholar. As state Senators and Representatives visited University booths, workers from the booths said the discussions focused mostly on an organization that wasn't present; the men's basketball team. "We're getting a lot of comments about not dropping out in the first round this year," said Chris Lansdell, marketing assistant for KU Athletics. However, Hemenway said he was there to address an important issue other than basketball: Honor scholars. and that Audrey Allison, a senior at Larned High school, became the 100,000th honor scholar last month. Hemenway said the University recognized the top 10 percent of high school students in the state Tim Schapkær, Prairie Village first-year law student, said he's played an altoxophone for six years. He said the quartet played a series of short, fun pieces for about an hour yesterday. Perhaps the quartet's biggest fan was Baby lay, who danced in front of the group and with crowds of area children who were touring the Statehouse. An older visitor was Isaac Fisher, "We think Audrey Allison represents the best and the brightest in the state of Kansas," he said. "As the best and the brightest, she's already decided to attend the University of Kansas." A quartet of saxophonists from the University played before and after the speech on the first floor of "KU's just impressed me," she said. "Even this program shows they care about academics." Allison said she chose the University because of academics and the friendly campus. "We were here last year and the crowd was really responsive," Schapker said. "It's a great room to play in."

What do you do when a 1,250 pound crocodile turns into a diva? Take him away from his audience. Officials at the St. Augustine Farm and Zoological Park said Maximo has been refusing for about a month to cooperate for his daily feedings of guinea pigs and quail. Kevin Torregrosa, the senior reptile keeper, stopped Maxi-mo's public feedings recently to retrain him. "He knows what he wants to do. He's testing us," Torregrosa told The St. Augustine Record. For his first snack, Maximo is supposed to get out of the water and walk on a small beach in his exhibit. For a second treat, Maximo is supposed to return to the water, jump up and reach for the food, which is dangled above him. The croc's routine is not about entertaining visitors, it's about fitness. Crocodiles like Maximo, who are more than 15 feet long, are prone to obesity and need exercise to keep trim. Idaho legislature callers learn about the afterlife officials said. BOISE, Idaho - Most people who call the Legislative Information Center at the state Capitol are looking for their district's lawmakers, not advice on the afterlife. But that's what they get if they dial the number for the center listed in the 2007 legislative directory. She goes on to ask callers to consider what Jesus Christ has done on their behalf, "so that when your last day comes, you'll be ready." The helpful 78-page booklet includes information on all 105 lawmakers in the Idaho House and Senate, support staff, legislative procedures — and the wrong number for the center. In a roughly 30-second message callers hear after dialing the bum number, a bubbly woman's voice begins. "Hi, there. If today were the last day of your life, would you be ready to meet God?" A reverse directory shows the number, which differs from the correct one by one digit, belongs to someone named "D Shurtz". Messages left after an answering machine kicked in weren't immediately returned. Couple receives liver, head in the mail at their home GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - A human liver and part of a head were accidentally delivered to a couple's home instead of the northern Michigan lab that was expecting them, delivery service DHL said. The preserved parts, sent from China and meant for medical research, were mistakenly dropped off March 1 at France and Ludivine Larmande's home near Grand Rapids. The bubble-wrapped items were part of a larger shipment that became separated and were left by a DHL driver who believed they were pieces to a table also delivered to the Larmandes. The body parts, which had been treated by a procedure that hardens and protects them, were intended for Traverse City-based Corcoran Laboratories Inc., DHL said. The recovered specimens were shipped to the lab, and all the missing parts have been accounted for, the company said Tuesday. Associated Press What do you think?

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN NEWS 3A 》 TRIAL No verdict in Missouri professor's case ASSOCIATED PRESS OLATHE — For the second time in five months, jurors were unable to reach a verdict Wednesday in the trial of a college music professor accused of killing his lower and trying to make the death look like a suicide. David Lee Stagg, who teaches at the University of Central Missouri in Warensburg, was on trial for first degree murder in the April 2004 death of William Jennings. Johnson County District Judge John Anderson III declared the jurors "hopelessly deadlocked" around noon Wednesday, said Brian Burgess, a spokesman for the prosecutor's office. The jurors began deliberations Tuesday. Stagg's first trial ended in October with jurors unable to reach a verdict after 11 hours of deliberation over two days. Jennings, who owned a court reporting service, was 51 years old when he was found dead in the living room of his Shawnee home, his neck wedged in the base of a decorative wrought-iron bird cage. During the trial, Assistant District Attorney Lannie Oriburn said an argument between the men on April 24, 2004, turned physical, so much so that the assailant knocked the veneer off Jennings' Knowing that Jennings had attempted suicide the previous fall, Stagg wrote a fake suicide note on Jennings' laptop computer, Ornburn said. front teeth. Defense attorney Tom Bath acknowledged that Stagg, 59, and Jennings had quarreled. But he said Stagg left and went to a condo that he co-owns on the Country Club Plaza in Kansas City, Mo. The defense said there was no physical evidence tying Stagg to Jennings' death and claimed an unknown third person must have committed the crime. motion seeking to dismiss the case. Burgess said prosecutors will decide whether to retry the case after the hearing and a meeting with lennings' family. "This is a tough situation for the family of Bill Jennings. He was a good man and he deserves justice. My thoughts and prayers go out to them," Johnson County District Attorney Phill Kline said in a written statement. "There was a lot of evidence to consider, and I want to thank the jury for their service over the past two-and-a-half weeks." KANSAS LEGISLATURE Bill making English official language goes to Senate stance, according to the chairman of the Senate Federal and State Affairs Committee, which endorsed the bill Wednesday.

SCHMIDT Students will flee from campus in the next few days, as spring break 2007 begins. For those leaving Lawrence, a few precautions could make the week safer both home and away. Susan Gronbeck-Tedesco, director of study abroad, said students traveling to foreign countries could best protect themselves by researching the places they would be visiting. "Find out where you should go in case of emergencies," Gronbeck-Tedesco said. "Learn a few phrases in the language." Gronbeck Tedesco said the most common trouble students had while traveling was theft. She suggested leaving valuables at home, being aware of surroundings, and trying not to reveal themselves as vulnerable. "Keep a low profile and blend in," she said. "And look purposeful, even if you're lost. The people who get picked on are the ones who look like victims." Capt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office said criminal activity on campus and in student housing tended to drop during breaks. "I'm a believer, and can say with some certainty that it is tied to population." Bailey said. "The fewer people are around, the less we see." Still, he suggested several tips that he said students had likely heard before, but might need to be reminded of. He said it was important to be mindful of everything from the most obvious precautions — such as locking all the doors in one's home — to minor details such as leaving lights on to give the impression of a full house. He said he most liked the idea of putting house lights on timers. Timers, which can be bought at most retail stores for about $15, will either turn lights off and on randomly or according to a schedule that the owner sets. Bailey said another minor, yet important detail for students was locking the car after every load they took while preparing to leave. He said thefts from cars that were being loaded had been a problem in the past, and were easy targets for obvious reasons. Last year was an exception to the drop in crime during breaks. During spring break, a series of burglaries in campus buildings totaled more than $14,000 worth of stolen and damaged equipment. The thefts, which took place within a single day, consisted of computers and projection equipment. Bailey said his office doesn't do anything differently during break. He said officers still patrol campus and, if anything, pay closer attention to activity on campus. He said it was important for students who stay on campus to remember that buildings aren't empty, and that the students need to take safety precautions. "We still tell people, if you see anything out of place or anyone suspicious, call the police." Bailey said. The KU Public Safety Office can be contacted at 864-5900, or 911 for emergencies.

Jeremy Byers, Mourning Byers husband, attended the preview and said he liked that the documentary told the stories of common soldiers, not the military elite. Byers, a doctoral student in military history at the University, said he spent one year serving in Iraq moving convos around Baghdad. - Edited by Mark Vierthaler Byers said he identified with the way the documentary's authors, real soldiers, told stories about wounded soldiers on the battlefield and coming home. He said he had written about 180 pages in a journal while in Iraq, detailing his experiences, and also maintained a blog. The theme of the discussion following the preview was that many Americans were personally out of touch with the Iraq War. Yellin said he hoped the documentaries would help address that problem. Mourning-Byers said she thought many people did not understand the combat experience soldiers faced. Kansan staff writer Nathan Gill can be contacted at ngill@kansan. com. PBS is set to air the 11 documentaries from 8 to 10 p.m. each night from April 15 to 20. Edited by Ashley Thompson Kansas divests money from Sudan ASSOCIATED PRESS Schmidt, R-Independence. The measure is designed to pressure Sudan into ending violence in its Darfur region. The Sudanese government has been blamed for atrocities in an ethnic conflict that has killed more than 200,000 people and displaced 2.5 million. The 40-0 vote sent the bill to the House. TOPEKA — Senators approved a bill requiring the pension fund for retired teachers and state workers to end its investments in companies providing revenue to Sudan's government. "It is important that state retirement dollars not support the terrible atrocities in that part of Africa," said Senate Majority Leader Derek STATEHOUSE (CONTINUED FROM 1A) The Kansas Public Employees Retirement System estimates that it has about $38 million of its $12 billion-plus in assets invested in companies with some ties to Sudan. Under the bill, KPERS couldn't invest in a company if it had "oil-related activities" in Sudan, provided revenue to its government, sold military equipment there or had a role in the genocide. The bill would make an exception for some dollars in "passively managed" funds in which money is mingled. Numerous states have begun divesting their public pension funds from Sudan. Other states, including Missouri, have divested their funds from Cuba, Iran, North Korea and At Schmdt's urging, senators amended the bill to require KPERS officials to compile a report by the start of the 2008 session showing how much money is invested in those four nations and what the effect would be of divesting.

Google has fought government requests for its user records. ASSOCIATED PRESS BY MICHAEL LIEDTKE ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN FRANCISCO - Google Inc. is adopting new privacy measures to make it more difficult to connect online search requests with the people making them a move it believes could prevent showdowns with the government over the often sensitive data. Under revisions announced late Wednesday, Google promised to wrap a cloak of anonymity around the vast amounts of information that the Mountain View-based company regularly collects about its millions of users around the world. Google believes it can provide more assurances of privacy by removing key pieces of identifying information from its system every 18 to 24 months. The timetable is designed to comply with a hodgepodge of laws around the world that dictate how long search engines are supposed to retain user information. Authorities still could demand to review personal information before Google purges it or take legal action seeking to force the company to keep the data beyond the new time limits. Nevertheless, Google's additional safeguards mark the first time that a major Internet search engine has spelled out precisely how long it will hold on data that can reveal intimate details about a person's Web surfing habits. While Google will still retain reams of information about its users, the changes are supposed to lessen the chances that the company, a government agency or another party will be able to identify the people behind specific search requests. Privacy experts applauded Google's precautions as a major step in the right direction. "This is an extremely positive development," said Ari Schwartz, deputy director of the Center for Democracy and Technology. "It's the type of thing we have been advocating for a number of years." Google is tightening its privacy standards a year after it became embroiled in a high-profile battle over the control of the user information that it had been stockkilling While gathering evidence for a case involving online pornography, the U.S. Justice Department subpoenaed the major search engines for lists of search requests made by their users. While Yahoo Inc., Microsoft Corp's MSN and AOL all complied with parts of the legal demand, Google fought the request to protect its users' privacy. A federal judge ordered Google to turn over a small sampling of Web addresses contained in its search index, but decided the company didn't have to reveal the search requests sought by the government. In another demonstration of the privacy risks posed by search engines, Time Warner Inc's AOL last summer released 19 million search requests on the Internet as part of a research project. Although only sets of numbers were attached to the requests, the information was used to identify some of the people behind the AOL searches. AOL subsequently apologized for the lapse, which triggered the resignation of its chief technology officer and the firing of two other workers. Google and its rivals all say they keep information about their users so they can learn more about them as they strive to deliver the most relevant responses. By purging some of the personal information from its computers, Google warned it might not be as effective at improving some services as it has been in the past. "But we believe the additional privacy provided by the change outweighs the benefit of the data we are losing," Google said. KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City, dilled by one NHL team, is dusting itself off and moving on. without the anchor tenant promised to the voters who approved it. Penguin snub doesn't phase Kansas City officials The Pittsburgh Penguins' decision to stay put leaves the Sprint Center, scheduled to open in October as the centerpiece of Kansas City's downtown revitalization, still But despite their disappointment, local sports officials said that even being considered as the new home for one of the NHLS best teams can only help them land another one. and the Midwest happy with a team here someday" said Paul McGannon of NHL 21, a two-man group working to bring an NHL team to town for the first time since the Scouts, now the New Jersey Devils, left for Denver in 1976.

Harris said schools across the state have overwhelmed the Seneca community with support. Schools are holding fundraisers to send pencils, jump ropes and playground balls for Seneca students. "It has been a traumatic three days," Harris said. "But I tell you tonight, everybody feels so good." Superintendent Brian Harris, of Nemaha Valley Unified School District 442, was excited after the meeting. A special bank account set up to purchase supplies for students DISASTER ASSOCIATED PRESS About 200 people attended a meeting Tuesday night to discuss rebounding from the fire Saturday that destroyed much of the building, which housed 275 students in grades kindergarten through eight. Damage was estimated at more than $5 million. Town adjusts after fire destroys school SENECA — Seneca school officials and residents said they are determined to get elementary and junior students back in classes Monday, even though a fire heavily damaged their school building during the weekend. Alternative locations found for classes Harris said the district has hired an architectural firm for a new building and is looking for trailers to use for next year's classes. And six classrooms in a newer addition of the current building were saved by firefighters and will be usable for next school year. Authorities said junior high students will attend classes at Nemaha Valley High School for the rest of the academic year. Elementary school students will go to classes at other locations, including an American Legion building, a former restaurant and the town's library. State fire investigators have ruled out any possibility of arson in the fire, said Karl McNorton, chief deputy state fire marshal. He said the cause of the fire will be listed as undetermined. State fire officials and the Nemaha Valley school district are working to make sure all the alternative sites meet code requirements. in Seneca had received more than $3,000 by Tuesday. "It if it was by mechanical failure or accident," Harris said. "I think people can live with that a lot easier than if it was arson." CRIME Missing Kansas woman's body recovered near river COFFEYVILLE — The body of a missing southeast Kansas woman was recovered Tuesday, and a suspect was in custody as part of a homicide investigation, Coffeyville police said. Rachel Dennis, 23, had been missing for more than a week when her body was found Tuesday afternoon in the Verdigris River north of Coffeyville. The Coffeyville mother was last seen on March 2 when she left a service station with a man. A family member said a tip led officials to a spot along the river. Coffeyville police urged owners of land in the rural area to check for signs of Dennis in the days after her disappearance. An autopsy was scheduled for Wednesday. Coffeyville police Cmdr. Mike Brown said one suspect is in custody but not charges have been filed. He also said other suspects were being considered. "LINGERIE PARTY? IN OUR LIVING ROOM? SURELY YOU'RE KIDDING!"

See Kansan.com for more opinions and Free for All comments THURSDAY, MARCH 15, 2007 WWW.KANSAN.COM THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN OPINION PAGE 9A 》 OUR VIEW Students should get proactive in petition for SafeBus Safety and the best student service possible should be the top priorities for the University; bottom line. The recent tabling of the newly adopted Delta Force SafeBus bill, as reported in Monday's University Daily Kansan, hurts that bottom line. Ashlee Kieler's story reported that there were issues with the passing of this bill. Jessica Mortinger, Transportation Board chairwoman, outlined some of the concerns as: "camera pricing options, security personnel on buses and cost analysis." These concerns aren't completely unreasonable, but seem quite nitpicky. SafeRide doesn't have cameras in their cars. There aren't any security guards riding with SafeRide users. Even without beefy guards and big brother cameras SafeRide is in heavy demand and successfully delivers inebriated students to their final destinations. Pass the SafeBus bill and then pick apart the extraneous details. The benefits of SafeBus far outweigh the increased $3 per semester student fee. Many universities of similar or smaller size to the University already have a system like SafeBus in place. A small fee increase for each of the 30,644 University students, as reported on the University's Web site, should cover all costs and concerns of those that decided to table the bill. However, it's next to impossible to put a price on the safety of all the students that will most certainly utilize this much-needed feature. If students feel strongly about this issue, they need to sign Tom Cox's petition. Once a referendum occurs, the SafeBus decision will be left up to all the student voters. It's your University. It's your money. You should be benefiting as much as realistically possible. SafeBus should be a reality. University too concerned with marketing 》 LISCENSE TO SHILL — Tasha Riggins for the editorial board. Those of you who still find humor in the fifth grade joke slogan of "Muck Fizzou," the Athletic Department wants to save you from your own poor judgment, even if it means paying hefty lawyer fees. How magnanimous! But a closer look sees past the altruism and exposes the greed and hypocrisy involved in the University's claims. In last week's University Daily Kansasan, associate athletics director Jim Marchiony gave two reasons for opposing the shirts sold by Joe- College.com. "Many of the shirts attach themselves to the University and are in poor taste," he said. He added. "There are licensees who pay a fee for the right to use the Kansas marks and it's not fair to them for others to be circumventing the rules." Unfortunately, neither is the true reason for the legal action. Instead, it is athletic department revenue. As reported by Michael Phillips in the Wichita Eagle, the University's distribution of licensing revenue changed last year, and now the Athletic Department pays a fixed amount to the chancellor's office and pockets the rest. Increased revenue stays entirely within the Athletic Department, and one way to raise revenue is to remove competition. BY BRANDON MINSTER When it comes to determining if a shirt violates university trademark, Marchiony told Phillips, "It depends on what else is on it." So a "KU is great" shirt is legally different than a "KU sucks" shirt? I don't see it. KANSAN COLUMNIST OPINION@KANSAN.COM but I do see a difference between protecting the school's image and trying to change it through silencing conflicting opinions. Shirts that say "Muck Fizzou" or feature a cartoon sperm labeled "KU Swim Team" present a view of the University that, however unwanted, is warranted. There exists at KU an irritated hatred of Missouri and a fixation on sex. If it weren't true, people would see these shirts and think, "What's that supposed to mean?" These shirts sell here because they portray an image many students want to associate with themselves, and at a cost significantly below officially licensed material. If the University were concerned with licensees' bottom lines, why did they raise the license fee from 8 percent to 9 percent this year? And if the concern is over poor taste, why does the University seek to profit from student credit card debt through the officially licensed Visa card I was offered this week? "Dear KU Student," the letter began on a personal note. "You're a Jayhawk." And so at a starting APR of only 17.15 percent I could get my own Jayhawk Visa. Funny, I thought credit card debt was a problem among students. Maybe I can start selling a shirt that reads "KU Credit Card Team." For only a nine percent cut, the Athletic Department would call it kosher. Minster is a Lawrence junior in economics. LOUISIANA PURCHASE MASCA QUIK MART Bif C.

" Grant Snider/KANSAN U.S. needs revamped tax code >> LETTER TO THE EDITOR Tax-avoidance schemes are growing faster than the IRS' ability to crack down on them. Until the 110th Congress addresses inequities in our tax system, we'll continue to further plunge into the abyss of what is becoming irreversible national debt. It appears that this Congress is merely poised to put a Band-Aid on a hemorrhage. Billions of tax dollars are lost through outsourcing of jobs to other countries. Companies leaving the United States each year is accelerating at an alarming rate. The loss in tax revenue is becoming almost incalculable, exacerbated by enormous tax cuts for the wealthiest of Americans. In a December 2003 report, the IRS identified over 400,000 taxpayers involved in tax evasion strategies that are likely illegal. That year, the IRS had estimated the number at 131,000. It is clear that the IRS (and Congress) doesn't have The IRS Tax Code needs to be completely revamped. Tax loopholes for "special interests" must be eliminated. Taxes on unearned income should have been increased not decreased. What has the Bush Administration done to solve the problem? They have declared that outsourcing of jobs is good for America, tax cuts will reduce the deficit, and have slashed in half the number of IRS auditors charged with auditing tax reports on multi-million-dollar incomes! a clue as to how much revenue is being lost. Now the problem is only getting worse. The IRS tax code has become so incomprehensible that virtually nobody can understand it, leaving it subject to broad interpretation. Paul G. Jaehnert Vadnais Heights, Minn. resident 》 COMMENTARY Some students are obsessed with other people's lives. These kinds of students (who love the gossip magazines and things like that) aren't satisfied with just living their own life and being concerned with actual people and events that affect the world. Instead, our society is obsessed with knowing what kind of purse so-and-so has. Real life is taking a back seat to fantasy. I know everyone's sick of hearing about Anna Nicole Smith and her babies and her old dead husbands. I roll my eyes and growl at Court TV and CNN whenever her name pops up. Forgive me if I'm adding to the noise.

Journalists are supposed to seek the truth and report it. Celebrity-chasers are forcing journalists to seek out information about celebrities that very well may be true, but not important in the least bit.

The important truth is why China wants to get rid of Starbucks and why John Doe opened up that new deli down the street. The important truth is not what kind of shampoo Jessica Simpson uses.

ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON Banana company Chiquita Brands International said Wednesday it had agreed to a $25 million fine after admitting it paid a Colombian terrorist group for protection in a volatile farming region. The settlement resolves a lengthy Justice Department investigation into the company's financial dealings with terrorist organizations in Colombia. In court documents filed Wednesday, federal prosecutors said the Cincinnati-based company and several unnamed high-ranking corporate officers paid about $1.7 million between 1997 and 2004 to the United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia, known as AUC for its Spanish initials. The AUC has been responsible for some of the worst massacres in Colombias civil conflict and for a sizable percentage of the country's cocaine exports. The U.S. government designated the right-wing group as a terrorist organization in September 2001. Prosecutors said the company made the payments in exchange for protection for its workers. The company also made similar payments to the leftist Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, according to prosecutors. The group also is known as FARC, the acronym for its Spanish name. Leftist rebels and far-right para militaries have fought viciously over Colombia's banana-growing region. Most companies have extensive security operations to protect employees there. "The information filed today is part of a plea agreement, which we view as a reasoned solution to the dilemma the company faced several years ago," Chiquita's chief executive, Fernando Aguirre, said in a statement. >> ATTORNEY GENERAL Republican wants Gonzales fired BY LAURIE KELLMAN ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON - Sen. John Sununu of New Hampshire on Wednesday became the first Republican in Congress to call for Attorney General Alberto Gonzales' dismissal, hours after President Bush expressed confidence in his embattled Cabinet officer. Gonzales has been fending off Democratic demands for his firing in the wake of disclosures surrounding the ouster of eight U.S. attorneys' dismissals. Democrats have characterized as a politically motivated purge. Support from many Republicans had been muted, but there was no outright GOP call for his dismissal until now. "I think the president should replace him," Sununu said in an interview with The Associated Press. "I think the attorney general should be fired." Bush, at a news conference in Mexico, told reporters when asked about the controversy: "Mistakes were made. And I'm frankly not happy about them." But the president expressed confidence in Gonzales, a longtime friend, and defended the firings. "What Al did and what the Justice Department did was appropriate," he said. What was "mishandled," Bush said, was the justice Department's release of some but not all details of how the firings were carried out. The developments unfolded as presidential aides labored to protect White House political director Karl Rove and former counsel Harriet Miers from congressional subpoenas.

The legislation, calling for combat troops to return home over the next 12 months, "would hobble American commanders in the field and substantially endanger America's strategic objective of a unified federal democratic Iraq," the White House said in a written statement. The strong veto message underscored the intensifying struggle between the administration and the new Democratic-controlled Congress and came on a day in which the Pentagon conceded in President Bush and other administration officials have avoided saying that U.S. troops had been thrust into the midst in a report that "some elements of the situation in Iraq are properly descriptive of a civil war." Democrats in the House and Senate are advancing different bills calling for the withdrawal of troops. Bush has threatened to veto both. a civil war among Iraqis. That plan faces its first test vote Thursday in the Appropriations Committee, and Democrats circulated a letter of support from retired Gen. Wesley Clark, the former NATO commander who ran for president in 2004. "We have an obligation to stand up for our troops and stand up to our president when he stubbornly refuses to change course in Iraq." In the House, Democratic leaders said they were building support behind legislation to require the withdrawal of troops by Sept. 1, 2008, if not sooner. By whatever name, the war has so far has claimed the lives of more than 3,100 U.S. troops, cost more than $300 billion and propelled congressional Democrats to power in last fall's elections. In contrast with the House bill, the Senate measure lacks a firm deadline for an end to U.S. participation in combat. It says a withdrawal should begin within 120 days "with the goal EDWARD M. KENNEDY Senator, D-Mass. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., another vocal critic of the war, said, "The American people are far ahead of the administration We Sen. Russell Feingold, D-Wis., said the legislation does not go far enough, but added he intends to support it because "it does not allow the president's misguided policies to continue. It does not tacitly reauthorize the war." of redeploying, by March 31, 2008, all United States combat forces from Iraq except" for those needed for non-combat roles. The Wisconsin Democrat said he would keep trying to press his own measure, which calls for limiting the use of defense funds in Iraq to achieving a troop withdrawal. The only Iraq-related vote of the day was an 89-9 procedural roll call that cleared the way for a formal debate on the legislation in the Senate. But Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell said passage of the have an obligation to stand up for our troops and stand up to our president when he stubbornly refuses to change course in Iraq. withdrawal measure "would be absolutely fatal to our mission in Iraq" and he sought to rebut Democratic supporters with their own words. He quoted Democratic leader Harry Reid of Nevada, the party's point man for the pending legislation, as saying in 2005 that setting a time line was "not a wise decision because it only empowers those who don't want us there, and it doesn't work well to do that." McConnell also quoted New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, a presidential contender, as having said in September 2005. "I don't believe it's smart to set a date for withdrawal. I don't think you should ever telegraph your intentions to the enemy so they can await you," she said. Democrats who have made similar comments "know just as well as I do that this is what the terrorists have been waiting for and just what our allies in Iraq and the entire region of the world have feared," McConnell said.

Plenty of other things almost match the pain of losing your last game to a team you should beat. Having to watch the Chevrolet "This Is Our Country" commercials every five minutes during a sporting event comes close. So does pulling into a Quik Trip and not finding an open gas pump. Those things are definitely not pleasant, but they're not quite the same as an early exit. Something about an upset really stings — the shock, the emptiness, the helplessness. "You can't describe it," junior Russell Robinson said. "It's definitely a feeling that I wouldn't want anyone to have." Kansas can make that feeling go away. Its simple. Win the early round tournament games. And this year, the layhawks are going to do that. OK, I know you're probably thinking, "Boy, some prediction. First he gets that stupid Chevrolet song stuck in my head and now he's writing that a No. 1 seed is going to beat a No. 16 seed." For whatever it's worth, in 1989, two No. 16 seeds came within one point of upsetting a No. 1, so it's not exactly a guarantee. But I'm not just talking about the first round. I'm saying Kansas will not be upset this year Not in the first round, not in the second round, not in the Sweet 16. The layhawks are going to at least make the Elite eight. BY MARK DENT The reason? This team plays with anger, because they've felt the pain —the pain that came from losing to Bradley last year. The past two years' disappointments hadn't felt it. DT MARK DENT KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST MDENT@KANSAN.COM Two years ago, Kansas was senior laden. Wayne Simien, Michael Lee, Aaron Miles and Keith Langford had made two Final Fours and one Elite Eight. They were college basketball royalty. That confidence cost them as they lost to an overmatched Bucknell team. Last year the team was too young to know the mistakes that the previous team made against the Bison. Sasha Kaun only played three minutes that game. Robinson and Darnell Jackson never left the bench. They only hurt because they got sore from sitting for too long. And Julian Wright, Brandon Rush and Mario Chalmers were not even on the team. You can't feel the pain from watching the game on TV. Now, after losing to Bradley in the first round, they've felt it. They've spent their entire summer second-guessing and disbelieving. They've listened to the media ask all week if they weren't motivated for first round games if they ever fixed a Hot Pocket before a first round game. The players respond politely. "It's behind us," Robinson said. "Hopefully we can move on." But inside, their hearts are throbbing. That's evident from Kansas' last two months of play. The Jayhawks have perfectly channeled their rage into success on the court. "We had to toughen up, because we weren't very tough," Kansas coach Bill Self said. Now they are the toughest, scariest group to play in the entire nation. Just look at how they've won games since February. The lajhayws can play any style and win in any fash ion. They obliterated Iowa State and Nebraska, lit up a Bramlage black-out and out gritted an always tough Oklahoma team twice. All of those games were accomplishments, but none of them stick out like Kansas' two victories against Texas. The Jayhawks came back from a 15-point deficit the first time and a 22-point deficit the second time. And this was against Kevin Durant. No way would last year's team beat Durant and the Longhorns. That's because they've felt the pain. It's tough to describe how it makes you feel, but the lajvahows don't have to. Instead, they'll show the nation what it's like to play with pain during the next two weeks. Edited by Sharla Shivers Dent is an Overland Park sophomore in journalism. NCAA BASKETBALL Final Four run in question for other Big 12 teams in tournament Why Texas A&M will make a Final Four run BY DANIEL MOLINA 1. The Law is on their side The Aggies' scoring machine went through a 0-16 conference record his freshman year, then spent the next 2 ATM 1/2 years being ignored. The NCAA tournament is made for clutch super- stars with chips on their shoulders, and Law fits that profile. 2. The "other guys" — A&M doesn't have nearly the depth of Kansas or other tourney favorites, but they do have four starters who average 10-plus points to go along with a bottomless bench. Why Texas A&M won't make a Final Four run 1. The "other guys," part II — While Law's supporting cast was just heralded, it's been a concern of the teams as late. Antanas Kavalauskas has a tendency to disappear offensively, and A&M's reserves chip in less than a quarter of the team's scoring per game. 2. The Bracket — While the prospect of playing in San Antonio is now a real possibility, thanks to the Aggies being placed in the South division, the path to the Sweet 16 has one big roadblock: Louisville, in the second round, in neighboring Lexington, Ky. Why Texas will make a Final Four run 1. Freshman Phenoms — Kevin Durant is a one-of-a-kind talent who has dominated college basketball this season. Still, his lesser-hyped freshman teammate D.J. Augustin has quietly been directing the Longhorns' offense en route to becoming one of the best point guards in the nation. 2. The "older" statesman — On a team with practically no upperclass presence, sophomore A.J. Abrams is as close to a senior leader as Texas has. Opposing teams tend to focus too heavily on containing Durant and Augustin, leaving Abrams all alone on the perimeter. Why Texas won't make a Final Four run 1. Where's the D? — As the cliche goes, "defense wins championships." This raises a red flag on the Longhorns' chances of making a deep run. Texas ranked ninth in the Big 12 in scoring defense, allowing 71.4 points a game. 2. No Southern Comfort — Despite making it to the Big 12 Championship game, the selection committee didn't do the 'Horns any favors by anointing them a No. 4 seed and shipping them to the far northwest for the first- and second-round games. Why Texas Tech will make a Final Four run 1. Fundamentals — Bob Knight is a no-nonsense coach. Tech ranked T second in the conference in turnover margin and tops the chart in free-throw percentage. Playing smart basketball and converting from the charity strip are two dependable ways to win. motes "one-and done" players. The Red Raiders' starting five features three seniors and two juniors. 2. Senior Status — Knight has made it known he recruits four-year players, going so far as to publicly criticize the new age rule that pro- Why Texas Tech won't make a Hairy Four run 1. Because they said so — If the Big 12 is really as weak as national pundits keep saving it is, then shouldn't its last bubble invitee, a team that finished only fifth in the league and got KOd early in the conference tournament, be a long shot to make any noise in the NCAA tourney? 2. On again, off again — In January Tech had wrapped up back-to-back victories against Kansas and Texas A&M, and then promptly followed that with a five-game losing skid that included losses to the likes of Nebraska and Missouri.

Creighton The Bluejays have a scoring threat in senior shooting guard and MVC Tournament MVP Nate Funk. senior Anthony Tolliver averages 13.4 points and 6.7 rebounds. Creighton rattled off four wants to and the Jay's season, including a third victory against NIT-bound Missouri State and a MVC Tournament championship victory against Southern Illinois. If Tolliver can control WAC player of the year Nick Fazekas on the defensive end, Creighton can hang with and out-shoot Nevada and possible second round opponent Memphis. 2. George Washington Senior guard Carl Elliott presents match up problems with his 13.1 points, 5.1 rebounds and 4.9 assists while junior Maureece Rice leads the Colonials with 16.2 points. Elliott is also tied for 10th in the nation with 2.6 steals. First round opponent Vanderbil has quality wins against Florida, Tennessee and two wins against Kentucky, but COLONIALS Tim Larsen/ASSOCIATED PRESS the Commodores limp into the tourney with five losses in their last 10 games, and George Washington could face Oral Roberts in the second round. George Washington, led by senior guard Carl Elliott, could be one of the Cinderella teams in this year's NCAA tournament. Other teams that could fall into this category are Creighton, Old Dominion, Wintosh and Wright State. 3. Old Dominion The Monarchs were a good team early in the season with a four-point loss to then red-hot Clemson and a 13-point point at Georgetown. They became a great mid-major in January when they rattled off 12 conference wins, including their second victory over NIT-bound Drexel. 6-foot-7 senior forward Valdas Vasylius, who averages 15.8 points and 6.2 rebounds, should own the paint against a Butler team that lacks an interior pres OLD DOMINION GERON 25 WASH 25 ence, and could lead Old Dominion into a dogfight with Maryland.

Junior Michael Jenkins, who averages 15.3 points a game, leads a trio of WINDGROUP FIELDS balanced scorers, which also includes Torrell Martin and Craig Bradshaw, who average 14.2 and 13.3 points respectively. Winthrop lost to North Carolina and Wisconsin early in the season by a combined 10 points, and has won 18 straight games heading into Friday's game with an overachieving Notre Dame team. 5. Wright State Horizon Player of the Year DaShaun Wood scored a league-leading 19.8 points per game, and averaged 26 WRIGHT STATE RAIDER points over the Raiders last two games. If coach Brad Brownell and his team can limit Pittsburgh star Aaron Gray, his guard is good enough to lead them into a match-up with either Virginia Commonwealth or a weak Duke team. — Edited by Erin Wiley Get 300 free text messages a month for one year.

T Stat Kan in A Fou char Rob that Edited by Mark Vierthaler GUEST COMMENTARY Midwest underdogs may upset higher-seed schools --- BY ADAM HOGE Editor's Note: The Daily Cardinal is the student newspaper at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The Daily Cardinal sports editor Adam Hoge examines the Midwest region. The Badgers are the No. 2 seed in the region. There's always that one bracket that is completely messed up by the end of the first round. It happens every year. Three of your four Sweet Sixteen teams in that bracket are out and your Final Four team was ousted in the first round. . This year, the Midwest is set up to be that bracket. I'm not picking Florida to be playing Davidson and Winthrop to be playing University of Nevada-Las Vegas, in the Sweet Sixteen, but it's possible. What makes the Midwest so hard to pick is that five of the eight first- round games feature underdogs that could easily win. Old Dominion could top a Butler team that might be seeded too high at No. 5. Davidson is on a 13-game winning streak and Maryland has been up and down all year. Winthrop is everyone's Cinderella, but after seeing what Torrell Martin and the Eagles did in Madison when they forced Wisconsin overtitude, I think they could easily beat Notre Dame and Georgia Tech in the Chicago pod and there seems to be a consensus that either of these teams could top the Badgers to get into the Sweet Sixteen. If you are wondering what will actually happen though, it might be a good idea to stay on the safe side. Florida has the experience and a relatively easy path to the Elite Eight. Wisconsin, while struggling, is still too well coached to fall this weekend in Chicago. There might be a lot of red on your Midwest bracket this weekend, but don't forget that the defending champs have the easiest route to Atlanta. Pick Florida. } . --- --- THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN NCAA TOURNAMENT SPECIAL SECTION THURSDAY, MARCH 15, 2007 5B >> MEN'S BASKETBALL Focus could create needed momentum KLEINMANN TEXAS 4 Junior guard Russell Robinson is one of the key eight players coach Bill Self will look to for energy during the NCAA tournament. The Jayhawks are looking to break their two-year, first-round loss streak. BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS KANSAN FILE PHOTO If you call Russell Robinson's cell phone this week, don't expect a lengthy chat with him. "People call out of the goodness of their hearts to wish you good luck," the junior guard said. "You can't respond to everybody." Hes had his phone set to vibrate all week — "If I hear it, I hear it" and is advising the younger players to do the same. All aspects of the players' routines become critical as each round of the NCAA tournament brings more national attention. Kansas begins that journey Friday night in Chicago when it faces Niagara at 6:10. After losing in the first round each of the past two seasons, coach Belf Self is trying to keep a sense of normalcy as the Jayhawks travel around the country. "We basically tell them that the way we have prepared and focused has worked, and that we can't get out of that routine," he said. Success for the lahawks would mean a trip to California for the Sweet Sixteen. The team's last visit to the Golden State was a good one: In 2003, Kansas defeated Duke and Arizona in Anaheim to advance to the Final Four, ultimately losing the national championship game to Syracuse. But that's not what anybody on this year's team wants to talk about. It's like pulling teeth to get them to admit that the second round even exists. It's an often-repeated fact that a No. 1 seed has never lost to a No. 16 seed, but there are also other factors working in the lajahwys' favor. The early-evening game is the ideal time, Self said, because it allows the players to avoid an early wake up call, but also doesn't create a lot of anxiety. "We have a chip on our shoulder," Robinson said. "We've got to prove that we can win, and win big." Last year, sophomore guard julian Wright said that the team sat around watching basketball all day, which may have distracted them from their own game that night. The players are all篮球 fans themselves, and watch games during their free time. That's something they'll cut back on in Chicago. During the Big 12 Championship, the players watched games from around the country during the day, and even caught Niagara's victory in the Metro Atlantic championship game. "We'll try to watch a little bit, but not too much," Wright said. "Those games aren't for us. They're for everyone else." "We're basketball players and basketball fans, but we don't let it consume our lives," Robinson said. way across the country in a matter of seconds. For the Jayhawks, no one player has stepped up to command the attention this season. There are eight that have all taken their turn carrying the team at one time or another, and Self wants to make sure the focus is on the team and not individual accomplishment. Maintaining a team identity becomes even harder during March Madness, when last-second shots and great performances make their It's not easy for a player on the team to get national attention. Sophomore guard Brandon Rush has "I love this team," he said. "I really like how it doesn't matter who it is that has the big game. I like that Sherron can go scoreless last week and get 20 points on the big stage. I like that Brandon can miss shots. I "Guys have to play for Kansas. There will be agents and runners that will tell them to do this or that and tell them this is their moment to shine," he said. "I don't buy into that stuff, and our players don't either." to share the attention with freshman guard Sherron Collins and sophomore guard Mario Chalmers, but that hasn't bothered him so far. But as Tuesday's press conference was winding down, he allowed himself to deviate from the script for just a few seconds. It's the coach's job to keep the players level-headed, and Self rarely praises their efforts, instead focusing on the areas of their game that need to be improved. then come back and make one, and I like that Mario can score nine points one game and still want the shot to force the game into overtime." That chemistry is a rare sight in college basketball, which is increasingly being dominated by big-time players ready to jump to the NBA. If the Jayhawks can stay together, they'll be the favorites to spend some time in California next weekend. Of course, nobody is willing to say that. "We're just ready to get that first game out of the way. Robinson said. Kansan senior sportswriter Michael Phillips can be contacted at mphillips@kansan.com.

HAWKS POINTE APARTMENT HOMES 1421 West Seventh Street Lawrence, KS 66049 NCAA BIDS Coaches consider increasing number of teams in tournament ASSOCIATED PRESS KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Syracuse coach Jim Boehme has plenty of support from Big 12 coaches for expanding the NCAA tournament. the gap between selection Sunday and the start of the NCAA tournament Thursday. It's the rallying cry of every coach whose job security is measured by postseason appearances. Boeheim, a longtime proponent of including more teams in the field, was flabbergasted Sunday when the Orange were snubbed by the selection committee. That brought another round of calls from coaches on Monday to expand the tournament "If the field is designed to get the best 64 teams in — if that was the design — then from that standpoint you think it needs to be modified," said Kansas coach Bill Self, figuring a handful of automatic bids go each year to teams that otherwise would not make the cut. "I don't know the perfect number, but I definitely think we should expand," said Texas A&M coach Billy Gillispie, whose team sat on the bubble and sweated out an at-large bid last season. to at least 68 teams, if not more. Texas coach Rick Barnes believes that concept is worth revisiting. The last major tournament expansion came in 1985, which increased the field from 53 to 64 teams. The NCAA added a play-in game in 2001, when the number of automatic bids increased from 30 to 31. Expanding the tournament has become a hot-button conversation piece that regularly bridges "From the time we started that play in game, I never quite understood why we wouldn't have four of them, one for each site," he said.

Ace Law IV only had 10 points and didn't touch the ball in the game's final minute. That shouldn't matter. Texas A&M has one of the nation's best defenses and that is always a premium in the NCAA Tournament. And having Law, college basketball Mr. Clutch, is definitely a bonus. If A&M gets past a possible second-round game against Louisville in Lexington, Ky., it could make the Final Four. Ohio State — Fans in Columbus already have good news: Greg Oden isn't so sure he wants to leave for the NBA this season. But it could be better if Oden and fellow freshman Mike Conley Jr. led the Buckeyes to the national title. Ohio State has been the No.1 team in the country for the past three weeks, but the Buckeyes lost earlier this year to North Carolina and Florida. A possible Elite Eight match-up against Texas A&M could be tough because the game is in San Antonio OHIO STATE Memphis — It's hard to say a 22-game winning streak doesn't count, but the Tigers' streak isn't genuine.

Edited by Sharla Shivers >> GUEST COMMENTARY East region deep with talented youth BY HARLAN GOODE Editor's Note. The Hoya is the student newspaper at Georgetown University. Hoya assistant sports editor Harlan Goode examines the East region. The Hoyas are the No. 2 seed in the region. If one were to write a term paper on the theme of the 2007 NCAA basketball season, the East bracket would serve as an eloquent thesis statement. In a season flooded by a fountain of talented youth, the East will run deep with so-good-so-soon freshmen. In lightning-quick point guard Ty Lawson, silky-smooth shooter Wayne Ellington and deceptively-fast forward Brendan Wright, top-seeded North Carolina boasts three starters who were nothing but fresh faces on rivals100.com a year ago. The talented trio joins super sophomore Tyler Hansbrough to form what maybe the most gifted lineup Roy Williams has enjoyed since arriving in Chapel Hill. Texas' Kevin Durant possesses the phenomenal first-year talent Carmelo Anthony displayed in leading Sacrure to the 2003 NCAA title and could well carry the Longhorns to Atlanta on his string-bean frame. Although second-seeded Georgetown relies on the steady veteran leadership of juniors Jeff Green, Roy Hibbert and Jonathan Wallace, they also call on steely freshman forward Dalian Summers for a youthful jolt in the clutch. Washington State, Southern Cal. and Arkansas are all weaker than their seeding suggests, but look out for Marquette, arguably the toughest eighth-seed in the entire tournament field. The Golden Eagles could make a run on the wings of freshman point guard Dominic James, a 5-11 ball of fast-twitch fiber who is quicker off the dribble than anyone in the land. With Eastern Kentucky, Belmont, and New Mexico State, the East will not provide the backdrop for a storybook lower-seed Cinderella upset, but the tale of 14-seeded Oral Roberts' forward Yemi Ogunoye, who comes from Nigerian royalty, should keep the talking heads on CB occupied. Although there won't be any Bucknell-over-Kansas style upsets in this bracket, sharp-shooting Vanderbilt and streaky Texas Tech could have some of the bracket's wunderkinds preparing for the NBA draft early, should they decide to show up in the coming weeks. If not, the fair tale for Roy Williams and his band of baby-faced boys in baby blue should continue until the clock strikes midnight on April 2. 》 LEFT BEHIND BY JONATHAN GARTEN ANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN Tournament omission mixed blessing MANHATTAN — The depressing news of K-State's NCAA Tournament snub still lingers around Manhattan and the state of Kansas. For the first time in more than a decade, Wildcat fans had a reason to tune in for Selection Sunday. They were by no means a lock, but after Bob Hugins drilled his formula — 20 huds overall plus 10 conference wins equals an NCAA Tournament selection — into their heads, K State fans were more than a little hopeful they would be awarded a spot in the Big Dance. Wildcat nation held its breath in anticipation as CBS revealed region after region filled with teams not named K State. Finally, CBS affirmed the Wildcats would not be dancing this year, naming Stanford the last team in the field of 65. But all the disappointment of being snubbed has brought up an interesting point. Its nice to be part of "March Madness" conversation: When K-State was coached by a jacket-tossing, neck-brace wearing, thumb-waving nice guy, the Wildcats' postseason hopes usually vanished long before the Big 12 Conference Tournament. But not this year. As long as Huggins is on the sidelines, ranting and raving until he turns a shade of purple, the Wildcats always will have a shot at the tournament. The turnaround has been so sudden that it's easy to forget all those embarrassing moments of the last 20 years. Here are just a few. 1997: K-State forward Manny Dies pleaded guilty to damaging property of a Collegian columnist who was critical of his play. The student journalist called Dies the worst college basketball player ever. — 2003: The name Pervis Pasco unfortunately will live in KState lore forever. During the first round of a Big 12 Tournament game against Colorado, Pasco stole an inbound pass with only seconds remaining, seeming to seal a 76-74 win for the Wildcats. All he had to do was stop or dribble. But Pasco, thinking the game was over, took off running with his index finger waving above his head. The officials whistled Pasco for traveling, and Colorado banked in a 3-pointer at the buzzer to win. 2005: The stage was set for K-State to end a five-game losing streak with the Wildcats leading Oklahoma, 68-67. All they had to do was hold on for four more seconds. But K-State had no answer for Drew Lavender, who had scored 27 points up to that point. The guard drove the length of the court to sink an improbable layup. While the loss was hard to swallow, it was Jim Wooldridge's postgame rant about Big 12 officiating that really made it a moment Wildcat fans would want to forget. As you can see, although getting the cold shoulder is infuriating, its good to know the selection committee knows K-State exists.

Matthews allegedly was sent HGH in 2004 from a pharmacy that's part of a widespread steroid investigation. Los Angeles Angels owner Arte Moreno and commissioner Bud Selig had been pushing Matthews to address the issue, and he finally did 16 days after the first stories came out. "I have never taken HGH — during the 2004 season or any other time." Matthews said in a statement. "Nobody has accused me of doing so, and no law enforcement authority has said I am a target of any investigation for doing so." Angels general manager Bill Stoneman said he was glad Matthews finally addressed the issue and that he denied using HGH. "We're finding out at the same time you are." Stoneman said. "We're happy to find out that he's saying that he never used HGH. We're an organization that feels there isn't a place in our game for any of these illegal substances. He's denying he ever used something he was linked to." Manager Mike Scioscia said he senses that Matthews was relieved after issuing the statement through the team Wednesday morning. Matthews then went out and homered in the Angels' 4-3 exhibition victory over the San Francisco Giants. Scioscia said he hopes the statement will help the team focus on baseball. NC NC Get excited!

"This is a huge step there. That's encouraging." HGH was not banned by baseball for players with major league contracts until 2005. This investigation appears to be targeting the suppliers of the substances, not those who might have received anything from the suppliers. Check www.neosho.edu for details Stoneman said the team had no plans to discipline Matthews. He said it was up to the commissioner's office to determine whether Matthews violated baseball's drug policy. "My feeling is that as long as this stuff is accurate in what it is and nothing else pops out at some point, we're fine." Stoneman said. "But again, the way it works in baseball is there is a policy between the owners and players that governs these things." Matthews explained the delay in his denial by saying he and his representatives needed to determine how he got linked to the story. WE SUPPORTED KU WHEN... 1951-1952 They became National Champions.

Wichita state blew out Kansas 18-3 BY ALISSA BAUER In the Ritch Price era at Kansas the Jayhawk and No. 12 Shocker rivalry has been one for the ages. With tight games and great crowds, rarely do those watching know who will get the victory before the final out. Before Wednesday night's 18-3 blowout, five runs marked the biggest margin of defeat at the hands of the Shockers. "I don't think there's a positive thing that happened in the game, to be honest with you," Price said. "That's the first time since I've been here that we've been boat raced at home by Wichita State. I think we've split every series we played with them since I've been here. They took us apart in every phase of the game." The dismantling began with the very first at bat. Shocker second baseman Damon Sublett extended his hit streak to 13 games with the Shockers first at bat of the game. The All-American then put the first run of the evening on the board two batters later, when he scored on a sacrifice fly. Off handedly, Sublett also played a key role in the Jayhawks' first run. In the bottom of the second, sophomore first baseman Preston Land popped a Rob Musgrave delivery high above second. Sublette couldn't track it, the ball hit the ground and Land had the single. Wichita State first baseman Derek Schermhorn threw home, attempting to get junior second baseman Ryne Price out at the plate, but to no avail as the lavihaws tied the game. Unfazed, the Shockers took back their lead with their next at bat, using a string of unearned runs. Schermerhorn started the rally with a single to center. A Jayhawk error put two runners on. Shocker designated hitter Danny Jackson took one for his team for the first time to load the bases, which were unloaded by the inning, giving the Shocks a 4-1 edge. When Kansas put another up to narrow the gap to 4-2, Price pulled starter Wally Marceli. The true freshman left-hander Ashwood kept Wichita State off the board for a whole innery. lasted three innings against the top- 25 powerhouse before being lifted for weekend starter junior left-hander Zach Ashwood. After striking out the side in the top of the fourth, the Shockers scored in all of the five innings that followed, starting with a four-run fifth. Making his first career start, Wichita State outfielder Bret Bascue recorded his first career hit, which led to the first RBI of his career in the fifth inning. Besides setting the first milestones of Bascue's career, the fifth inning marked the first time Wichita State batted around. The seven-run eighth inning marked the second. Physical is one thing, dominating is another. Wichita State out hit Kansas 18-8, crushed three home runs and tied the 1992 Shocker squad for the biggest blowout in the 55-year series history. club, they've been a good ball club since I've played them," junior shortstop Erik Morrison said. "We knew they were going to come in here and give us a good game. You've got to give them credit, they came up here to our home, swung the bats well and pitched well — they earned the 'W for sure.'" "I told Coach Stephenson that's the most physical they've been with the bat since I've been here," Price said. "They hit three or four bombs out of the park, that's something I haven't seen from them." Kansan senior sportswriter Alissa Bauer can be contacted at abauer@kansan.com. BASEBALL Edited by Mark Vierthaler BY SHAWN SHROYER Sometimes a move to the bullpen pays off and sometimes it doesn't. Both Kansas and Wichita State went to their bullpens in the fourth inning. The move worked for the Shockers, but backfired on the Jayhawks. "Coach was trying to piece the game together after that, an inning or two at a time with guys," Kansas coach Ritch Price said of pitching coach Ryan Graves' strategy with his bullpen after freshman left-hander Wally Marcel struggled through the first three innings. Entering the fourth inning, Kansas trailed Wichita State just 4-2, but the Shockers posted a three-spot in the third, so Price brought in junior left-hander Zach Ashwood. In his first inning, Ashwood struck out the side. However, his day ended abruptly. Ashwood gave up a leadoff walk to Derek Schermerhorn in the fifth and Schermerhorn was soon on third after Ashwood balked and threw a wild pitch. Schermerhorn scored on a groundout. Ashwood then hit the third batter of the inning, give up a single to the fourth batter and hit the fifth batter to load the bases. He was then pulled from the game and replaced by junior right-hander Hiarali Garcia, but Garcia couldn't keep the three Shockers from scoring. Ashwood was charged with four earned runs in 1.1 innings and the Kansas offense never overcame the deficit. It didn't get much better as four more Kansas relievers entered the game to allow 10 more runs. Things got so bad that Kansas closer sophomore Paul Smyth gave up his first earned run of the season. The Shockers' move to the bullpen, though, proved to be lights out for the lajhawks. Right hander Khol Nanney was the first Wichita State reliever to enter the game and it appeared he might fair as well as Ashwood after he hit the first batter he faced and threw a wild pitch. But he recovered, retiring the side thereafter. After Nanney surrendered the first of only three hits Kansas recorded against Wichita State relievers and walked the next batter in the fifth inning, he was replaced by lefthander Anthony Capra. Nanney, Capra and right-handers Kyle Touchatt and Jared Simon combined to shut out the Jayhawks over 5.2 innings. Kansas' reserves managed to plate one run with two outs in the ninth. "We've got a lot of confidence going right now. It's our mentality that whenever Gene comes to bring one of us in, we're going to throw strikes," Capra said, referring to Wichita State coach Gene Stephenson. As for the layhaws, Price said they were already in the process of putting Wednesday's debacle behind them. "There's a great line in 'Bull Durham' by Crash Davis where he says, 'This is the most humbling game in the world,' and today we got absolutely humbled, big time," Price said. "Our bullpen's been fabulous. We're going to flush today and go back to work. Some guys who got knocked around today have been doing an outstanding job for us."

I back the dedication to join or even worship a band. Obviously, I'm not the best role model for music talented women But Joplin writer James Nazeer stuck with music joined the band Aubrey and wrote the story on page 10 about girls who play in bands.

The *grod life*: After graduating in the fall, Katter stuck around Lawrence to walk down the hill in May. She married her bierless less than a year later and took a job with Bankey Evergreen & Partners, an ad agency where she was a *Media Planner* for a year and a half. Today: Katzer now works, in Pennington & Co., a fundraising consulting and public relations firm for fraternities and sororites. She travels a couple of weeks each year to attend the schools across the nation. In May 2006, her husband's accounting job with Dollotte & Toleye moved the couple to Stamford Conn, but Katzter continued her job as senior consultant for Pennington & Co. "It's been so fast paced, but I love that. There so much to do" she says. They will continue in Connecticut for two more years and then return to local education. Her goal is a sample "just always have to have something going on volunteering, a job kids whatever it might be," she says."I never want to be bored." She says: Katzer loved the beautiful spring days walking on campus and seeing friends, but she would have liked to take each day with more excitement during her time as an undergrad. "I wish I would have lived in every moment. You kind of go through the motions — go to class, not appreciate it. But live in every moment. Once College is gone, it's gone," she says.

Jennifer Denny op op STEPS FEFS C ORE... LIVING ART HARVEY DAVIS 2 Joe McGill, owner of Joe's Body Art, outfitted a tattoo on the arm of one of his customers. Each needle McGill uses can make 3,000 holes per minute and fill them with ink. RIEL The tattoos Joe McGill inks on his customers are almost as interesting as the man himself. by Anne Weltmer A man steps in the middle of the lane on Vermont Street just outside of the Lawrence Public Library honors at me getting out of my car, pulls his navy sedan up to the sidewalk and walks across the street into and joins Body Art right behind me. He greets Joe McGill, the owner of the parlor, and the seven other people in the room, then sits in a tall-backed chair with wooden armrests in the corner of the room. He sets children books and starts sketching his nautic head. Chris Lang, the gravey- hawked man in the corner doodling an image of the Predator, is one of the people whom McGill works on regularly in his parlor. Working with the people is fun sometimes out of the window; but when a job is more than just meet interesting people and drawing on them. "1 got fascinated with it because it really is a living art. McGill says about why he's been tattooed for more than 25 years "If people die, the art dies. The artwork's work with them." McGill, originally from Sedan, moved to the Lawrence area when he was 15 years old. He took all the art classes he could in high school in Perry and one more at the University of Kansas. After partying too hard and failing the class he decided After that he painted houses to support himself but continued to draw and paint in his sparse time until he met someone who knew how to make a homemade tattoo machine in 1980, its adicting to give and receive tattoos, McGill says, so he tattooed out of his house in the late 1980s and early 1990 until a law was passed that tattoo artists had to be certified. He wasn't happy about the change and tried to convince the authorities to grandfather him into the new system because he hadn't seen any experience. But he ended up having to certify anyway. The Red Hot Chili Peppers "Snow (Hey Oh)" plays family from an old black boonboot, but the closest nose to me is the hum of the drill hollowing 24,000 holes per minute into the arm of Travis Baumc, a Haskell National University McGill's been tattooed professionally since 1994, but opened Jois Body Art at its 12th Street in Vermont. St. three years ago. "I GOT FASCINATED WITH [TATTOOING] BECAUSE IT REALLY IS A LIVING ART. IF PEOPLE DIE, THE ART DIES. THE ARTWORK'S GOING WITH THEM." freshman from Cowita,Okla,and filling them in the shape of a lion coming out of fog. McGill uses eight needles, each with a capacity to make and fill 3,000 holes per minute with ink. He stunts internally at his newest artwork through his headphones. He wears an old leather-Harvard-Davidson short sleeved T-shirt with holes around the pockets. I'm trying to observe McGill at work and question Baumcob about his new tattoo, but Lang insists that I be the one interviewed first. He asks me the usual get-acquainted questions, and then if I have a tattoo, I don't. Then Leng opens up about himself, ask him what his first tattoo was, but he says he was young and drunk in China and it wasn't the best idea, even though he was going to get one anyway. He says a 14-year-old boy gave him a rose-and heart design on his forearm, but can't see the original version when I ask because McGill has reworked it, Lang says. "Want me to take my shirt off!" he asks after I inquire about his other tattoos. He wants to show the latest parts of his full-back tattoo that he and McGill have been working on in phases, so he takes off his Harley Davidson thermal long-sleeved T-shirt and shows me his thick back. McGill's quiet demeanor doesn't hide his amusement at Lang's forwardness and he shows his orange chewing gum as he grins. But he does agree with the man, who is a canvas to express oneself. Lange's back looks like a scene from *Lord of the Rings*: craggy mountains extend from his scapula to his love handles with a like, a castle and figurines on either side. he says it hurt so bad getting the tattoo on his ribs because he did not want it if he planned on doing any more tonight and he said probably not — he just wanted to stop and by. Lang says McGill has either created or modified every eyetoo on his body, and there are a lot ang out. Like an old-fashioned barbershop, people drop in just to hang out and talk and 'see who can lie the most.' Lang says his arms and back are covered in ink. He says that he didn't have master plan when he started studying computer science, a pattern of good and evil emojis. "My body is a battleground. I think we all are a spiritual battleground." "Lang says." Now he ties to plan his tattoos accordingly. He says he finds out more about himself from them and does them in reaction to big events in his life to be up with an ex-embassador. Baucom agrees and says he thinks of them as scars. Every time he goes through a traumatic experience, he wants to get a tattoo to remind him that he survived it. The lion emerged from the frog represents passing through all of the obstacles in his life Baucom said. He decided to get it after he had a dream. But the frog's absence after received an acceptance letter to attend Haskell. While all of this is going on. McGill's 12-year-old stepdaughter, Halley, is also hanging in at the tattoo parlor with her friend. She fits right in the casual atmosphere with her hooded sweatshirt and jeans on. She calls McGill 'Joe' when she leaves the house, she isn't shy at all. She plays on the computer and answers the phone for McGill while he works. His wife calls to see if he can take Haley to church that night, he says yes. McGills work schedule on Flex. On his weekends, he opens 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. or later. He "has a pretty low key life for such an old man." Lang said jokingly, McGill is not really old his only 47. He still has a heavy, untimed black beard with two teeth and a pouch of his chin, and a black porcelain hanging out of the back of his den cap. Gmill says he's not going anywhere. Besides Haley, he has another stepdaughter and a younger sister on plans on laying in Lawrence — although maybe not in his current location because the room too pricey, to rest for the his tattooing day. He says it's not a physically demanding job but a physical doing it until he "real old." 03. 15.2007 JAYPLAY ←05 ST. PATRICKS DAY SPECIALS SC.

Members of trivia team "The Best Event Ever" brainstorm during trivia night At the Brick in Kansas City Mo., Friday night while host, Megan Metz读, regs off trivia questions. TRIVIA TIPS FROM THOSE WHO KNOW IT BEST Play with a small group, say Andy Morton, host of Smackdown Trivia. If a team comes in with 12 people, from our standpoint that team is well and safe — will it many people to s too many people to argue with." Vary your expertise, Morton says. Don't bring your two roommates who also share your Star Tear obsession. Question: What is trivia? Answer: A better way to spend your time at bars. Listen to NPR or watch CNN, listen to Pianolie, Olaf the senior, because there's usually a current events category. If you're an expert in something, those skills that I know not embarrassed to admit I know my celebrity gossip! says Laura Watkins, 2006 graduate; "I keep up on all of the online grssin blogs." Don't take yourself too Don't take yourself too seriously. "This one time, a team was trying to prove that a wrong answer they had given was right, and someone said No, that's right, I saw it on eBay!" Mattkins says. "Now people repeat that as a joke if they answer wrong CITY COUNCIL by Jaime Netzer The host announced the final category, this day in history. Laura Watkins, 206, graduate took a swig of her Newcastle and decided with the three guys on her team to bet all of their points. They were far behind the other 11 teams playing at the Brick, St. Kilda Ski, in Skamia City, Mo. That friday night, and had no trouble "On what show was John Lennon's death first announced?" Watkins was worried. Under pressure her memory is horrible she says. "Just from a time I randomly gawked out in front of WH1 for like, 20 hours. I remembered that night," Walker says. "Night Football." Walks says Because of Watkins's ability to retain this uniquely useless piece of information, her team was the only one to answer the question correctly. They won first place. Watkins is one of several dozen regular players in Lawnery. She plays almost every week in different bars around town. Watkins says she enjoys triaity because she's naturally competitive and learns interesting random facts. But the main reason she plays is to spend time with her friends, she says. So if you lose in Lawrence over spring break, avoid the usual get-drank and-standaround routine, and give trivia a try — you just might learn something useful. What is trivia? Trivia first took off in the United States in 1927, although the term wont been used in the 1960s. The publication of a series of popular quell questions called Ask Me Another. fillowed with questions like "what is a Bunsen burner?" and "how do Kangaros carry their offspring?" got Americans hooked on squirting themselves. We then used a system similar to the one used on jeopardy! Teams select categories and answer questions for points. One team can challenge another team if they think the other team won't be able to come up with the answer. The team will win. The team receives double the points. If the team being challenged answers the questions correctly. PLAY TRIVIA THIS WFFK Cost SS Wednesday, March 19 Live Action Pub Tivla Show at Conroy's Pub. 313 15 W.6th St. Thursday.

The team with the most points wins. Several bars around town host trivia nights. Andy Monton hosts what is araguably Lawrence's most popular trivial night, smackdown Trivia at the Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St. "There are a lot of people that just remember the strangest things." Morton says. "Where else would you go?" Vomit up all of that knowledge. Jon Nicklas, Overland Park senior and a regular navigator, says people that who are into trivia are usually relatively smart people who like to learn ecteic knowledge in handy during conversation. "For some reason,I like knowing obscure facts."Nicklas says. The best moments in trivia are when the answer hits you like a bolt of lightning, says Dan Pierron, Olathe senior, who plays and hosts trivia regularly in Lawrence. Some people might be naturally more inclined than others to soak up tuprival information, says Ray Hamel, a former tupriva writer for the New York Times and co-author of The New York Times Quiz Book. He says that the ability to recall trivia is a talent that to recall crisma are born with. Perron's love of trivia began with Trial Prison when he was a kid. He participated in schoolbanks in high school and now plays in the movies, breaks the books, he usually doesn't miss an episode of leopardry he says. "I've known people who try 'blunt force' memorization of facts." Hamm says. "Try people who don't have stuffing takes the fun out of it." Both Hamel and Morton, the trivia host, have experience on the other side of the trivia asie as well; they have it to write it. Hamel says that most of the puzzles he writes begin with a basic theme and he then formulates questions related to that theme Most of the questions come straight from his own trivial-filled memory. Hamel says, He then film himself, showing online looks in a thriller Morton has to write 100 new questions each week for Smackdown Trivia, an event he has hosted for seven years. Do that math, he says. Sometimes it feels like a chance for Morton and his team to create the 12 categories and questions to fit them he says. Morton says that sometimes he intentionally tries to iRk people with the categories he knows (for example) example? Full House questions Trica is a creative effort; hosts come with categories like 'celebrity pedophiles' and 'famous cheater's and teamwhos named by the names like the "fibonacci" sequels and the "amazing Racists." The winners of trivia usually earn a small cash prize, but they also walk out with enough tidbits of worthless information they have been obsessed with and several weeks worth of bragging rights. 03. 15.2007 JAYPLAY <07 p Thought your parents were mad about your GPA?

THIS WEEK, WE ONLY HUNG OUT THREE TIMES, BUT I'M CERTAIN IT'S BECAUSE HE HAD A LOT OF HOMEWORK. WE TALKEDAbout DOING SOMETHING THIS PAST WEEKEND, BUT HE NEVER CALLED. I CALLED HIM AND HE APOLOLOGIZED AND THEN WE MADE TENTATIVE PLANS — BUT THEN BROKE THESE PLANS. WHAT'S GOING ON? I'M FREAKING OUT. HE TOLD ME HE LIKES ME, SO WHY IS HE ACTING THIS WAY? ELIZABETH. SOPHOMORE Eizabeth you need to pull over 'cause you're doing 80 in a 25. You've known the guy for two nearly weeks and you don't mind day with him? Put on the brakes. Instead of agreeing to see him every time he calls you, force him to set dates with you. That way you're not waiting by the phone wondering if you have plans tonight or not. Train him to book you in advance. He'll place a greater value on you and you will also rest easier. And also, if you hear him call you when he needs to break them, as opposed to just leaving you hanging because your plans were tentative anyway. OK, so now that you've slowed down, the next thing you need to do is stick your butt in a bucket of ice water because you're right, you are freaking out. There's no need — you only had trouble getting together with him for two days. That's another reason why hanging out too much too soon is a bad idea it really screws up your perception of timing. Who knows what could have been going on for him this weekend? Relax. He'll call But by if Monday or Tuesday you haven't heard from him, then you can start to let go of the loser. If he does call, which he probably will say, "Oh, don't worry about this weekend. It's no big deal." Hell probably want to hang out that same night, that's when you say 'Sorry!' actually have a ton of room for it. It's a really busy week, but either Sunday or Thursday would be good.' Then he picks a day. Then you pick a time. And then you have a date. Keep it nice and slow from now on and you'll have more time to figure out if you want to be dating this guy at all. Good luck. I REALLY HOT FOR MY BIOLOGY PROFESSOR, AND HE'S INTO ME TOO. HASN'T I DONE ANYTHING about IT, BUT I HAVING TROUBLE CONCENTRATING IN CLASS. DAYDREAM ABOUT HIM ALL THE TIME. I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT GOING TO OFFICE HOURS AND ASKING HOW I OUT. I KNOW IT'S A LITTLE TABLE, BUT WE're BOTH LEGAL ADULTS SO IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL, RIGHT?

It's bitterly cold outside, but Conny is dressed in a thin lacey white top and a short denim skirt. An asymmetrical slip fades underneath the frayed denim. And Conny bears legs meet white leather boots that fold at her ankles. Conny plays with Another Holiday, an indie-pop band based in Lawrence. As they took the stage and she settled herself behind her keyboard and pushed her unkempt hair out of her face, I wondered what had happened to her. Did she do any of the writing? Did she always dress up for shows? When I first saw Conry walk into P5 Restaurant and Pub, 1129 Laramie St. in Manhattan, I assumed she was dating someone in the band. I watched the doorman placemant black PX on her hands and wondered why she was at the club long before the show would start. She looked so confident, five-piece band for the past three years, I still made the assumption that this girl wouldn't be sharing the bill with me that night. Conny is part of a relatively small population of female musicians in the city.

In fact, when his band was looking for a new vocalist the filers specified Conny and asked them whether they would have considered males as well. The appeal of the female lead vocal can be elusive to pin down. "There's just something charming about female vocal," she said. The band wins him over because of a voice, the singer is usually female. One of the guys... in a skirt Conroy peers over her right Female leads are usually used to add sensitivity to music. Convoy likes to hear a female voice that is harder to hear than male. She says, "Girls can't necessarily be badasses on stage," she says, "Or if they do, somehow it's not her." a conscious choice to show off Conny. She has talent. She has the kind of voice that makes you laugh and rests confidently in the back of her throat and is pure and strong until she lifts into fishelot. Then it becomes light and slightly breathy. Conny turns back around and and walks over to the floor in time with the music. Having Conroy join the band didn't change their dynamic that much. Couch says, As far as telling crude jokes, he says the guys in the band just don't hold back. He remembers wonders if one band member with an especially small bladder would refrain from using the restroom located smack dabd on of their rehearsal space as often one might the band. Nothing changed, the frequent bathroom trips lived on. Standing on stage, illuminated by spotlights and exposed to however many people may be watching on a particular night, it's only natural for any girl in a band to be aware of the way she looks to an audience. Connoy wants to be taken seriously as a musician. She never wants to be seen as an accessory or as the "visual pleasure" or "hot-ness factor" in another Holiday However, she does put time and thought into dressing up for shows. "I have always been afraid of it," and it does add a visual effect. Connoy says, "I can pull off a lot of things in my band could." Skirts, make-up and strategically exposed skin can change the audience's perception of a show. Appearance can even be a way to draw in fans, but most female musicians are uncomfortable with this Meagan Dudley, a DJ for the Blake Surprise, also based on Lolita Blunyrels some mixed experiences about appearance and music. "My friends tell me that people will come up to them and say, Oh Dolly Surprise you should see them, they hot 'bub'. We don't promise ourselves as those roxy men that have the fact that women, but there are no naked pictures of ourselves on fliers." WOMEN IN ROCK Where mv girls at? Dudley says she's surprised by the lack of a strong female presence in the local music scene. She says that because she views Lawrence as a progressive city she would like to encounter different kinds of people in bands.

Be open to being in an object in order to succeed. Don’t let it be about what you look like. Let it be about the music.

"There have been three or four nights on this tour where every other band weve had a woman in it" Lane says. It's almost becoming cool to have a girl in a band. Lane says This is great in many ways, she says, but it's not great for musicians in a band instead of having a girl just for the sake of having a girl. There still aren't that many girls shredding on lead guitar and you see it it's really cool. Lane says While Dudley works at Rudy's, 701 Massachusetts St., she mentions upcoming shows to people and news organizations. She learns she is a DJ. They give me this look, like, Are you serious? You're a girl! Dudley says have a certain idea in their heads of what a show would look like, which she doesn't always There was a band in the Northwest, known as Swamp Mama Johnson who had a regional follow, Dudley says. They were about to sign with a major label, but when an executive told them that new hardwax, sleek clothes and a nice weight, they refused to sip. "Women want to be themselves and express the excitement of rock'n' in it in way that's empowering, in a way that's grounded, conforms to pressures, and expectations about how they should look." Slowly but surely Women are often ignored or misunderstood when they go into music stores to buy equipment. Shaw says, Women often report male employees assuming they're purchasing equipment for their own purposes, being rude if a girl is trying to play an electric guitar, bass or drum kit. Doormen, bartenders and other men who also sometimes prejudice women, Lane recently had a negative experience on tour with the band. When she was in her equipment, she approached the bartender and ordered a PBR explaining that it was free because of a drink special for the band. The bartender responded that they were not girlsfriend or not girlfriends of band members. "I'm sure my face got really red because I was mad," Lane says. "I wanted to say: Why would you be mad? I'd have been a girl, I would never be in a band." Instead, Lane corrected the bartender, who she says was especially nice to her the rest of the night. Lane says she has often been "slightly scorned" or had people assume that she is setting up her boyfriend's drums. Women are also routinely mistreated in the record industry. Shaw says. She credits improved job security and greater gender equality in rock 'n' roll. Women no longer have to rely on a record company to give them a contract, because they are able to make a living by making CDS and selling them independently. "It might not make as much money as having a record deal," Shaw says. Alternative rockers aren't interested in buying buckets. They just want to be able to make a living plains their music." And what about those women role models? The more girls who show up in bands today, the more younger girls may decide to pursue a career in music. So the best parts about being a woman in a band is being at the merchandise table and talking with younger female fans after the show. Lane The younger girls are really excited to see her and her bandmate Ozzy. Playing she says, "They realize. Oh, play music! I piano lessons I took for years and years, "Lane says. She says she feels good because the girls are a lot less frightened to approach her or Hunt to talk with the guys in her band. Curtain call The music fades out and Conny hunches up her shoulders, tilts her head and demurely thanks you for audition again, as though no one else was listening to music before. Her face spreads into one last shy smile as the between-set music gets louder and conversation resumes. She unplugs all black cards from the back of her keyhole and puts them in the shrieks and admiration of her friends. I stop her to tell her she is fantastic, and she thanks me. As she turns to leave, I cannot believe how embarrassed for doubting that the crowd was a musician and pleased that she has proved me wrong.

The separation of church and student by Sam Carlson Andrew Stangl sits silently at the front of the room, listening intently to the 25 people who have gathered for the bi-weekly meeting of the Athletes and Agathists (SOMA) Stangl. Wichita state is the president of the club. Besides a brief introduction and a review of upcoming events, Stangl rarely speaks. His reserved temperament matches his conservative clothes and ability. But don't be fooled "Hes a radical in chio boy's clothing," says Paul Scott, assistant professor of French and director of the 2005 study about the effect that participated in Scott described. Stang as a lighthearted wintersky. serious person who is never afraid to voice his opinion. Scott says he and Stangi disagree on such issues as abortion but that he respectful of other people simply by standing firmly behind his rear. "His chief weapon is definitely his tongue," Scott says. Stangl joined the group his freshman year when SEM held its meetings in a small alcove in the Kansas Union. The group outgrew the area and now meets in the International Room in the Union and at most meetings every seat is taken. The evening is light and the laughter is the epic that the Ten Commandments tells us; so same members call them, the Clicks of the Bible. Besides planning events and scheduling lectures for SOMA Stangl must make time for school. This time can be hard if it is not a public day. The three majors: political science international studies and Frenchy and one minor history It's really just my way of saying I don't know what to do with my life," Stang said. Although he comes from a religious background. Stargell began to lean toward secular beliefs before he arrived at the University. He attended an Episcopal church until he was 6 years old and began to think critically about his beliefs in high school. His study of Christianity led to an interest in it and Stargell said he became an attentive during his senior year of high school. " I got through about 450 pages of the Bible that I had and stopped." he says. "I discovered what I was doing was basically creating a religion based upon what I wanted to believe." SOMA name alone intrigued Staniq at first and the group soon provided him with a circle of friends that he remains close with today. He even met his fiancé through the group. He says these close bonds help he and the group remain steadfast in their mission to serve the students of secular studies on campus. According to the University Student Organizations Web site there are 44 registered religious groups on campus, SOMA, however, is the only secular group. Stangl says his group non-only serves as a network for secular students but also as an outreach team that benefits the community. SOMA major funder, 'Soul Auction', benefits the Douglas County AIDS Project. After an audience bids on the 'souls' of participants, the participants must pre-determine activities for the highest bidders. These activities include anything from manual labor to going on a date of half the profits go to the AIDS project while the other half goes to SOMA. Another event, "Ask an Atheist* is scheduled for early May. A panel of three atheistic students will answer questions from the audience in an attempt to educate people about atheism and agnostism. Stangl also worked to bring Michael Newdow, a lawyer who challenged the use of "Under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance court, to campus. Newdow spoke at the University on March 13. Efforts such as this show Stang's devotion to the group says Laney Allinton, president and SOMA secretary. "He's overall just a really encouraging, motivational organized leader," she says "Since organization of KOMA has only gotten stronger." Stangl will step down as president when SOMA holds its election offices in April. He will return to the University for a fifth year and says he plans to stay involved with the group.

An illustration major at the University of Florida with fire engine-red hair and even made Photoshop creations to see what she would look like her curiosity eventually got the best of her and the week before she started she became a redhead. Americans spent $10.4 billion to change their hair color in 2005, according to data compiled by the company Packaged Facts. Alternative hairstyles are a way for people to experiment and assert their personal identities. Yankey says she happy with her new hair color and gets lots of compliments from strangers. She likes that the color is lush and outrageous because she wanted it to be obvious she dyed it. She doesn't feel like she has to put a lot of thought into her hair, she says, because having red hair has already put effort into her appearance. It also gives her something to talk about. "I feel a camaraderie with people who also have crazy hair," Yankey says. "It's like a club."

Faddish, extreme hair can be limited to) multi-color or unnatural colors; sculptured hair tails, partially shaved heads and deadlocks are not permitted." Grooming guidelines such as taking an amusement park's self-instrumental show are common in today's job world. Sean O'Dwyer, Mission senior, dressed off his dyed black and blue hair for a job interview because he wanted to look more professional, he says. After the interview, however, he plans to color it again. O Dwyer has been bleaching and dyeing his hair different colors on off and off since his freshman year. He dyes his hair in pink, blue, red and he and his friends often make it into a social activity, he says. "its kind of weird, but my friends and will be hanging out drinking and dye our hair," he says. O'Dwyer describes himself as impulsive. If he's tired of a style he says it's easy to change. He not too concerned with how his experiments turn out. After he discovered his hard-door look he haunted, it wasn't a big deal to start his hair off and start over. "I'm young.

"I'm a normal person. I just have different hair." Gray wanted dreadlocks for five years before she got them, she says. She likes the style and respects the Egyptian and Rastafarian cultures they came from. Dreadlocks separate her from society, but not in a negative way, she says. "I'm a free person.

One of his clients was a chemotherapist patient and when her hair started growing she tried to try purple hair. He says using positive reinforcement because of her new hair that having purple accents in her black hair has become her trademark "There are times in our lives when we want recognition or to make a splash." Grimes says. "Some people buy shoes, but that's not as permanent as changing your hair." Many people make extreme changes when they want an emotional response. Grimes says Hair is something that you can control today. For that reason, he is important to step away from the mirror and ask yourself, "it really the hair?" He recommends that when people want to dye their hair they approach a stylist with a picture and reasonable expectations. Salons want you to apply the end result so you can clearly what your idea of 'fire' feel is compared to the skin. Even though hair is a personal expression and alternative hair may expresses a little looser than highlights. Grimes says it's important to keep things in perspective. "It's just hair," he says.

Next, Rash Leawood senior finds herself shimming and shaking the way she does to her bedroom. She has had her bedroom but this time with a group of 40 men and women of all ages. Surrounded by full-length mirrors, Rash continues to move to the room where he rests his song on the playlist is "La Mayonesa," a popular Latin tune. "The music threw me off at first, but it was a fun, new way to work out." she says. Rash is at Zumba class, a new dance workout session at Lawrence Athletic Club. 3201 Meea Way. Thumbzura started gaining popularity around the nation in 2002, is the first class offered in Lawrence, Zumbu instructor Katy Parker took her first class in Parsons and loved it so much that she decided to become certified to teach W. With the new trend to Lawrence in January. Zumba combines dance moves from bummia, meringue rumba, mambo and samba with time-tested dance moves such as air guitar, hip pops, boo shakes and shoulder shimmers. Parker says she likes throwing in her own ideas for routines because Zumba is all about having more moves include "walking like an Egyptian and 'di sounding' at a la下午 Night Fever." Created by celebrity fitness trainer Berta Petee Zumbas's pace is similar to arbor interval running. You heart rate up and others slow heart rate down. This allows the body to burn more calories. An hour medium intensity Zumbas burn from 500 to 700 calories. Perez created the workout when he was forced to improvise during his fitness class. He forgot "It all depends on how hard you push yourself. The idea is to keep moving and having fun." Parker says. Something from nothing his normal routine music and he had to make do with the tunes he had in his car traditional Latin music. His anitics went well as his Latin fitness class became the most sought after class at his school, where he was taught the class "Brumacite." He changed the name to Zumbu when he brought his friend to the United States in 1990 Perez's concept for a Latin-infused dance class took off in 2002 after he marketed videos in the States. Demand for Zumbua instructors followed. Zumba is comparable to other dance class workouts, such as jazzerie, but the atmosphere of Zumba class sets it apart from most dance classes. Trends Perez designed the workout to be fun and easy to do Katy Parker is one, 2,000 Zumba instructors worldwide. She took a trip to Miami for an intense weekend Zumba certification clinic and came back with the Zumba trainer in 2005. She was directly trained by Perez during her two-day workshop where she learned all the basic steps to everything from salsa to tango. She then learned how to choreograph the step to hip-hop and was encouraged to add her own spice to the routine. so participants would stick to the workout. He describes it as a "feel happy" workout. Parker mixes moves such as the lawnmower with Latin dance steps and then throws in a little disco to make it fun. The repetition of these moves keeps the music flowing and cardio-but, but the music of the junior high dance moves keeps it lightened and faint. "Trowning in moves like that breaks up the routine," Parker says. "It's beneficial, too moves like leaping side to side and running over your lips makes working his sides more mugs." she adds. Come one. come all For the next hour, Parker leads her class — middle aged women and a men, a few KU students and alums — through Will Smith's "Getting Jiggy Wig!

Elizabeth Doak Dallas junior shakes it in the back of the workout room. Though it is her first time at Zumba, she catches the music. She moves the music. She moves to the beats freely and smoothily and takes a moment to laugh at herself if she gets off track. "It's fun because you're comfortable doing the steps. You can do as much or as little as you want," she says. Doak says she feels like he is getting just as much or more of a workout than her usual routine of elliptical training and running She thinks that there is no equipment or partner required to participate in Zumba and all she has to show up is in a T-shirt and sweats or shorts; no shoes or clothes are required. Other items don’t all black and jazz those tops and shirts or sweatpants. The informal environment of this Latin-inspired dance class takes the atmosphere back for such an energetic workout. Growing demand Growing demand The popularity of Parker's Zumba class at Lawrence Athletic Club is evidenced by the growing numbers who come to the class each week.

In 2005, Miler helped bring his Sin City comic to life, producing one of the most exciting films in years. He also helped resurrect the Dark Knight by inspiring Bornian Begins. Miller's work is brought to the screen once again, this time with lesser results, with the release of 1986. The film tells the story of the Battle of Thermopylae, in which a band of NORTH BURNING WILLOW PART II only 300 Spartans fought off at least 20,000 Persians entangled on taking Greenbe. But the truth is just too boring. They never incurcares are woven down. 300 has a distinct color pattern and countless men and women in peak physical condition, so there is no doubt that it's nice to look at. The film also proves that action sequences can be performed even if they are all on slow motion. Unfortunately, the moments between action scenes bog the movie down. When the characters aren't fighting, they're talking, is where the problem lies. Much of the dialogue is taken verbatim from Miller's comic. While Miller can craft a great story, he doesn't have much of a penchant for the way people talk. The audience is not sure what to do for the noir-driven Sin City but here it cheapens the characters and the thrills they supposed to produce. Ultimately, 300 can be exciting, but it seems that when it gets going, it slows itself down, along with the audience's interest.

My foot had started to swell and I wasn't sure what had just happened. It was a clear and beautiful Saturday afternoon last September and I was on the way to a potluck. As I moved down the road, I noticed that runs between my house and Lawrence, I noticed a car entering the road from a hippopotamus driveway in the distance but immediately lost sight of it. I entered the base of a closer small hill Atlas Created the hill it would be. I noticed that I had misread the situation. In the other car was long, dark hair surrounding the slender face of a middle-aged woman. Her name was Michele Bidri and she had clutched instantly when my little dog Toni loved her Toyota Camry I am a firm believer that we create our own reality and get what we want out of life. But after the crash I was forced to ask myself 'Why would I ask for so much physical pain?' Would anyone ask to deal with the guilt over the death of that lady in the other car? TERRY MORRIS Even though I know what the police investigation proves — I am not responsible that the last report sucked toward me in slow motion. I vividly remember my car collapsing to form a "V" that car pointed right at me and of her car and ended up sliding toward me in my lane — can't help but feel guilty. Besides pain and gnell, why would anyone ask for the fear associated with a highway collision? During the accident it was like I was a black hole watching the universe get bv Matthew Foster bent around the passenger side of her car. Then the airbag deployed and beak me into a hood with a wound end with a horn that wouldn't keeping and my engine reving loudly. The airbag lifted, saving a smoky haze and chemical smell. I thought there might be a fire, so I unqid my seat belt to get out of the car but my door wouldn't open. My window was down, so I climbed out and fell on my sound lifted to stand up. Then I looked at my weight. It was like my ankle wasn't there any more. To get to what seemed like a safe distance away, I dragged myself 30 feet down the road. As I lay there pullible pebbles out of my palms and into the path, I nursed my shattered ankle and wondered what had happened. My right foot had been cramped up into my leg, forcing my ankle to dislocate to the left. I got a right angle to my foot and I could not hold it. We have the lap belt down in front of my pelvis, my seat belt was too high and cut my liver. I had a couple of fractured bones in my bottom, much of my upper boot and blue and yellow. The abdominal surgery came the day after the accident and caused the most pain, if for no other reason than the catheter the doctors installed. Two weeks later I was healthy enough to have ankle injury, which resulted in pain similar to the pain before they reset my ankleband on the day of the accident. If we get what we want out of it, then what we got in! The accident gave me the wisdom of knowing that we are all responsible for each other's well-being. We are responsible at any moment, but particularly when we drive a one-tank hud of metal 50 or 60 miles per hour across a world full of fragile beings, we must recognize how we are responsible for each others' well-being. Even more importantly, gained compassion. Compassion is a virtue found in many world religions, like in my own Judean-Catechism tradition, and it's central to the Buddhist and Taoist philosophies that reflect my adult spiritual influences. In Taoism, compassion is considered one of human's three 'great treasures' next to patience and simplicity. empathize with people who are scared, in pain or wish they could go back and make things better, take away something from the craft scars and take compassion I wish that I could go back and be the hero who rescues a lady stuck in a ditch instead of being another victim. But I know that the one thing we don't get out of life, no matter how badly we want it is the chance to go back and see things different. I not愿 be responsible for my mistakes. I'm always responsible for the reality I create because I have to live with the results of my unconscious decisions. Luckily for me, Taismo offers help for situations like this in chapter 80 of its essential text, the *Toe to Ching*. "Good fortune we can come from disaster. And we've done it," she knows where all your will lead." 03. 15.2007 JAYPLAY < 19 Weekly Specials @ Kansan.com $.99 Draws (including Boulevard Wheat) 12 price Margaritas $3 Amamanito Sours $5.24oz Long Island Ice Teas $2.99 Bloody Mary's $1 Bud & Bud Light Bottles $2 Coronas $9.9 MUGantas Rent your private room to follow the Hawks Dance your parts off with DJ Nick Reddell $3 Wells $2 Colors Light Bottles $2 JagerBombs BIGGEST St. Patty's Day Party in Lawrence $2 Green Apple Bombs $2 Coors Light Bottles Watch the Hawks with Abe & Jakke's watch parties 841.5855 Rent your private room to follow the Hawks Watch the Hawks with Abe & Jakke's watch parties 841.5855 Rent your private room to follow the Hawks $2 Boulevard Wheat Pile All Drinks $2.50 Mexican Beers $1.50 Wells $3 Single Crown $3 Single Absolut $3 Big Colors Light $2 Long Island/Long Beaches $7.2L domestic towers $9.50 L domestic tower $2.50 Double Bloody Marys $2.50 Big Bees (Bud products only) $2 Domestic Bottles $5.2L domestic tower $7.50 IL domestic tower $2 JagerBombs 2 for 1 Martins 2 for 1 Domestic Bottles Featured Wine Featured Wine 2 for 1 IRISH MARTINIS $3.50 Absolut Bloody Mary $2.00 Boulevard Draws $5 All Wines by Glues $2.50 Import Bottles Idea of March Bluestras Festival in memory of Kirk Rundstrom Long Beach Short Bus 8pm ($12 Dr. Bux St. Patty's Party Hour from $2 D Bernies $2 D Bernies $2 Dual Wire Dower Beer Dym Class Heroes 8pm The Blood Brothers thegranada.com for upcoming shows and events thegranada.com for upcoming shows and events thegranada.com for upcoming shows and events $3 Frozen Margarita Premium Tequila $5 Shots 5 TACOS FOR $5 Salzer Dancing DJ Luna Starts at 9:30pm 543 Frontier Road 785-865-1515 $2 Margantas on the rocks $2 Domestic Beers $3 Double Wells $2 Domestic Bottles $4 Double U/s LIVE MUSIC every Thursday $3 Bombora Vodkas DJ every Friday $3 Double wells $3 Bloody Marys $5 Domestic Pitchers $4 Domestic Pitchers 1/2 price pizza $2 Boulevards $1.50 SoCo lines $3 BIG BEERS $3 Double Long Islands JETLAG house band VanillaPunk $2 Domestic Bottles $2 Wells $4 Domestic Pitchers $2 Rumplemintz Shots "NO COVER $4 Captain and Jack Doubles $2.50 Coronas "NO COVER $2.50 Imports $3 Bloody Marys Throw Back Mondays $3 Domestic Pitchers $2 Domestic Bottles $2 Wells $2 Pints $2 Goldschäiger Shoels $2.25 Liters $1 Draws $1.50 Miller High Life $2 Rolling Rock Dirty Blues Duo Feat.

OK, let's be blunt. Coach Bill Self's job is on the line Friday night. If Kansas becomes the first team ever to lose in the first round as a one seed, that won't go over well in the Jayhawk nation. That said, it's not going to happen, and the Jayhawks will start preparing for Sunday as soon as the game ends. STAR WATCH Junior center Sasha Kaun took a hard fall in Sunday's Big 12 Championship game, and was held on Tuesday's practice. Self said he'll be ready to go, and Kaun walked without any noticeable problems to the weight room Tues- Kaun day afternoon. His presence becomes especially important inside if sophomore forward Julian Wright gets into foul trouble. QUESTION MARK WHO'S GOING TO STEP UP THIS WEEKEND? The Jayhawks are known for having a different player step up in every game, and it's especially important this weekend. Whoever steps up will enjoy a day or two in the national spotlight, and NBA scouts will be on hand taking notes. 3 REASONS KU WINS ONE — The very obvious reason. A No. 1 seed has never lost to a No. 16 seed, and this isn't going to be the year. Parity is sinking in throughout college basketball, but it still hasn't reached the lowest conferences. TWO - The big eight. Not the conference, but the eight players who have been carrying Kansas all season. Aside from the current starts, freshman guard Sherron Collins, freshman forward Darrell Arthur and junior forward Darnell Jackson are all legitimate starters for just about any other team in this year's tournament. THREE — The very obvious reason. Not to dwell on this point or anything, but No. 16 seeds have had 88 tries to pull the big upset, and still haven't done it. Betting money on a No. 16 seed is a great way to financially support your local bookie. SECOND ROUND OR BUST COUNTDOWN TO TIP-OFF GAME DAY Kansas hopes to advance out of first round of NCAA tournament KANSAS VS NIAGARA 6:10 Friday, United Center, Chicago, CBS Kansas 30-4 OFFENSE Expect a fast-paced game with lots of points being scored and both teams substituting frequently to keep players fresh. Niagara is coming off a play-in game on Tuesday, which may affect their energy level, but expect them to continue to play the fast-paced style of basketball they've been going with all season. For Kansas, it will be a welcome change from the low-scoring Big 12 games the Jayhawks are used to. Coach Bill Self said he isn't going to worry about letting them run, because that's what the team preferred. He added that it is easier to get a team to slow down than to speed up, if that becomes necessary. KU KU KU KU Niagara 23-11 The Niagara big men can shoot three-pointers, which is rare to find in the Big 12. The Kansas defenders should DEFENSE be up for the challenge, though. Sophomore forward Julian Wright can play defense on the perimeter, and sophomore guard Brandon Rush can provide defensive help if a player gets a hot shooting touch. Think of it this way: If Kansas can find a way to stop Kevin Durant, it shouldn't have much of a problem with what- OFFENSE KU KU KU KU Niagara brings an unusual offense that uses its big men for shooting three-pointers. The Purple Eagles' goal is to run it up and out-score their opponent. Texas plays a similar style, and Kansas had trouble at times controlling the Longhorns' outside shooting. Against Florida A&M on Tuesday night, Niagara showed the holes in its offensive strategy. The Purple Eagles jumped out to a 13-point lead before cooling down and letting A&M back into the game. It's simple: If Niagara shoots the ball well, it can at least hang around for a half against Kansas. ever Niagara brings. MJMJ People Eagle. People Eagle. MOMENTUM Another reason Niagara must shoot well is because it can't stop the Jayhawks' or anybody's, offense. The Purple Eagles give up a MAAC high 73.7 points per game. Their biggest problem is the lack of aggressiveness inside. Big men who want to go outside of the arc and shoot the three don't make tough low-post defenders. Niagara's defense's saving grace is rebounding. The Purple Eagles out-rebound their opponents by more than four boards per game. Limiting Kansas to only one shot per possession would be huge for Niagara's upset bid. DEFENSE The Jayhawks stole the No.1 seed away from UCLA in the final weeks of the season, and now reap the benefit of getting to face the play- Nationally, several analysts, including Bill Simmons of ESPN and Seth Davis of Sports Illustrated, have predicted the Jayhawks will take the big prize. In case that's not enough, the team also won the Big 1 2 Tournament in Oklahoma City last weekend, winning an exciting overtime game against Texas on national television. N.J. Water Quality NJU Pacific Union KU KU KU KU KANSAS 30 Michael Phillips MOMENTUM No one is predicting Kansas to go down in the first round again this year, but the Jayhawks don't have a gimmee against the Purple Eagles. Niagara has gone 20-5 since its leading scorer Charron Fisher came back from an early season suspension. The Purple Eagles haven't exactly beat the Lakers or Mavericks in that time period, but they do have a quality victory against Holy Cross, a 13 seed in the tournament. They also beat Marist for the conference tournament championship. Marist just beat Oklahoma State in the first round of the NIT. The Purple Eagles were angry after having to play the play-in game. Now they have to maintain the energy level they showed Tuesday night and hope for a miracle. Julian Wright Julian Wright NJU Peablet Eagles NJU Peablet Eagles NJU Peablet Eagles —Mark Dent NU TIP-OFF WHAT'S AT STAKE? History. We've all heard the stat a million times: A No. 16-seed has never won a tournament game. A Niagara victory would be historic. The Purple Eagles would be recognized for years to come. If they lose, it wouldn't be a big deal. Everyone expects it. Niagara has no pressure. STAR WATCH Charon Fisher is the Purple Eagles' top scorer, but cliff Brown played like a star Tuesday night. Each Cinderella team needs s o m e n e o to step up. Sometimes it's the star and sometimes it isn't. Brown is capable of YOU MAY NOT BE READY TO WORK WITH US. Brown scoring 30 or more points, he had 32 against Florida A&M. He might give his team a much needed boost. QUESTION MARK CAN NIAGARA STOP THE HOTTEST TEAM? Nobody is playing better than Kansas right now. The Jayhawks have had a few close calls in the last three weeks, but no team could hold on to beat them. The Purple Eagles are faced with a near impossible task. They must force a fast tempo early and then hold on for dear life because the Jayhawks will come back. 3 REASONS NOWINS ONE — First Round Flame-outs — The Jayhawks have choked two years in a row in the first round game. Last year Bradley was a good team and on to beat Pittsburgh too. But Niagara is at least as good as Bucknell was two years ago. If the Bisons could spring an upset against the Jayhawks, why not the Purple Eagles? **TWO** — The Texas Rule — Three-point defense has been one of the only holes for the Kansas defense. The Purple Eagles will shoot more threes than the Longhorns and that could cause trouble. Texas got off to big leads because of its shooting and Niagara is capable of doing the same. **THREE** — Color blind — Anybody remember the Jayhawks' first three losses? They were to the Golden Eagles, the Blue Demons and the Red Raiders. Notice the similarity: Kansas can't beat a team whose mascot is identified by color. The Purple Eagles just might have the Jayhawks' number. JAYHAWK STATS Player Min. FG-FGA 3FG-3FGA FT-FTA Pts.

Julian Wright Brown Wright looked unstoppable against Texas when he was in the game. Unfortunately for Kansas, he fouled too often and had to sit on the bench for too long. Wright should match-up well against Brown. Brown is an athletic forward like Wright who often steps outside to shoot. Against Florida A&M, he had six three-pointers.

Other players gathered around a television to watch Texas A&M defeat Penn. Then the media swarm invaded. For the next 30 minutes on Thursday they faced a full-court press from the press. The topic was predictable: it's been three years since the Jayhawks advanced to the second round of the tournament. "It might get tiring, but it's a real-ty" junior center Sasha Kaun said. KANG HI-MING "Everybody's going to talk about it." Tonight at 6:10 p.m. the game will tip- off, and the lahayws will have the opportunity to start a fresh chapter of the school's basketball history. Of course, there was the small matter of making it through Thursday first. Writers from around the country are in town to write about the Jayhawks, and they're all ready with the same questions about the past. After about 20 minutes, sophomore guard Brandon Rush couldn't come up with any new cliches. "We just have to focus on Niagara," he said, then paused. "And so on and so on." Coach Bill Self cautioned that KAVS the Purple Eagles were a lot better than people were giving them credit. Several members of the team were suspended early in the season, but since they returned, the team has gone 21-4. "Niagara is not a 16 seed." Self said. "You play whoever you play, but that is not a 16-seed team." After visiting with the press, Selt led his team through a 30-minute workout on the United Center floor. It was open to the public, but there wasn't a very large contingent of Jayhawks fans on hand to watch. That's expected to change tomorrow Sherron Collins smiles during a passing drill at the United Center Thursday afternoon.

Butch, the multi-colored mutt with a notable underbite, put Parrott in the hospital for stitches to his lip six years ago. After routine blood work raised concerns, doctors sent him to Children's Mercy Hospital to test his bone marrow. Doctors told Parrott, then a 15-year-old student at Shawnee Mission North High School, he had a rapidly spreading cancer of the white blood cells called acute lymphocytic leukemia, or ALL. When Parrott asked what his odds were, doctors gave him a 60 percent chance to live. Since his diagnosis, Parrott had three and a half years of chemotherapy, a month of cranial radiation, pills, shots, spinal taps, ceaseless nausea and a fungal infection that spread to his lungs, liver, kidneys, spleen and behind his right eye. Doctors thought the infection would kill him. The infection, the treatments, and the cancer itself slowed him down, he said, but it didn't stop him. Parrott, Overland Park senior; now studies aerospace engineering at the University of Kansas. He is systems engineer in a team of aerospace students developing a soft landing prototype vehicle for Mars. "I came back and picked up where I left off like it never happened," he said. The student-designed Mars lander Parrott is helping design and build will have its first test landing at a local airfield on April 28. Some professors thought the project was too difficult for the students. "The whole team has high spirits," he said. "We all think we can do it." The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Web site says there are almost 4,000 new cases of ALL every year in the United States; it is the most common type of leukemia for people younger than 19 years old. Months before Parrott's leukemia was diagnosed, he displayed warning signs. One afternoon, Parrott was too tired to walk home from work. Dizzy, his head swam. He sat down and passed out on the neighbor's grass. He was pulled out of school after his diagnosis that October, a month before he turned 16. Fifteen pills and a shot in the thigh were everyday business for Parrott. His spinal taps came weekly. "School wasn't a priority." Parrott said. "It was survival." "Put him in a room with strangers and they'll gravitate toward him," she said. Parrott's Mom, Debra James, a Sheldon, Mo., resident, said Parrott's leukemia gave him a stick-to-it attitude and a strong personality. Parrott lost 40 pounds that first December during radiation. All the while, his mom kept a vomit bucket in the car. Parrott said it was "easily the worst Christmas ever." She spent 45 minutes getting Parrott to his treatment every day and most of her time by his bedside. Parrott called her his daily support system.

By 2008, passports will be required for land border crossings as well. A new law requiring passports for all air and sea travel to Canada, Mexico and South America has increased passport demand and wait times. It takes 10 weeks to get a passport; a year ago it took four weeks. Lisa Beers, a general clerk at the Lawrence Post Office, said that the extra wait time was a problem for people who waived too long to get their passports. Students who plan on traveling to other countries during the summer should get to the post office. "Summer is right around the corner." Beers said. "If you are going to apply for a passport, you have to do it now." "I should have done it earlier," Dragan said. "But my mom said not to worry about it." "Summer is right around the corner. If you are going to apply for a passport, you have to do it now." Students in a rush can pay $185, nearlydouble the regular fee of $97, to receive their passport in six weeks instead of 10. The line at the post office to get a passport has gotten longer as well. Beers said that wait times last week were up to an hour and a half, whereas previously they were only about 30 minutes. Dragan had to wait in line twice. in line Thursday to get a passport for her summer trip to Italy and Germany with the art department. she said she was going to have to pay the extra money for the faster processing. "I had to come back because they don't let you pay with a credit card," Dragan said. "It's kinda annoying to have to keep waiting in line." Katrina Hibbs waited in four different lines before she got her passport. "I went to the courthouse, Kinko's, and finally came here," Hibbs said. "Then they went to lunch and I had to come back an hour later."

University of Kansas Chancel lor Robert Hemenway addressed Congress on Wednesday to advocate a proposed national study abroad bill. STUDY ABROAD Chancellor travels to Congress to promote bill The legislation, the Senator Paul Simon Study Abroad Foundation Act of 2007, would create a national fellowship program to boost the number of students studying abroad from about 200,000 to 1 million. The bill would also aim to send students to nontraditional locations and ensure the study abroad population reflected diverse student populations. "Study abroad gives students a great understanding that will help them compete and lead in a global marketplace." Hemenway said. In an official statement, Hemenway said studying abroad was vital to enhancing students' educations. The University received the Senator Paul Simon Award for Campus Internationalization in 2005.

RELATIONSHIP WOES Transvestite accused of misleading partner KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Even in the messy legal world of dividing property after a failed romance, this case was exceptional. A Jackson County judge was asked to consider whether a transvestite had misled a former male fiance into believing she was a woman. Griggs wanted the judge to remove Garcia's name from a deed to a $2,000 house they co-own. He also gave Garcia a $2,500 engagement ring, but didn't ask for it back. Ferris Griggs of Kansas City, Kan., sued Josie Garcia of Kansas City, claiming that Garcia had defrauded him by pretending to be a woman. Jackson County Judge J.D. Williams said in issuing his ruling that both sides had serious credibility issues. Garcia, who goes by the name Cindy, testified that Griggs knew all along that she was a man, and that they often had sex during a relationship that lasted many months.

Lauren Leonard, Plymouth, Minn., sophomore, is the great- niece of Walter Mondale, who was President Jimmy Carter's vice presi- dent. Mondale will speak April 12 at the Dole Institute of Politics. The Institute announced this week three upcoming programs, including the Mondale lecture. Although she visited Mondale from time to time during family get-togethers, Leonard said she had never seen her "Uncle Fritz" speak in person. "He spoke on CNN a month or two ago about Dick Cheney not doing a good job, so I've seen him on TV," she said. Former Senator Howard Baker will speak on April 22 at the Lied Center and will be awarded the Dole Leadership Prize. Baker will be followed on May 2 by General Richard Myers, who will give the Dole Lecture at the Institute. Bill Lacy, Dole Institute Director, said the Mondale and Myers lectures will be ticketed events at the Institute, but a number of student tickets have been set aside. Tickets are free and available today for the Mondale lecture and April 13 for the Myers lecture. Lacy said three such high-profile American speakers have never lectured at the Institute within such a short period of time of each other. Leonard said Mondale was asked to speak at other campuses near his home state of Minnesota, but she said he denied a lot of those opportunities. "He's really all about family, so that's what motivated him to come here," she said. Coincidentally, Albright met with Monday after her visit. She told Mondale that she had a great experience at the Institute, lacquers said. Leonard contacted the Institute after former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright spoke there last year. Leonard told the Institute she might be able to get Mondale to speak on campus. Steven Jacques, director of programming and communications at the Institute, worked on Mondale's White House staff. He said he had been trying to bring in Mondale since he started at the Institute in June. "She recommended that he accept the invitation," he said. As the great-niece of the former vice president, Leonard said she could e-mail Monday directly and she would also be his taxi when he arrived. That doesn't mean she's ever received any special recognition because of her relation. "I don't have his last name so people don't know unless I say something." Leonard said. She said bringing in Monday was a tough, two-month process of e-mailing and scheduling, but that it should be worth the work. "Not a lot of people from our generation know who he is, but I hope his credentials will be enough to bring people out," Leonard said.

Edited by Will McCullough EDUCATION Changes on horizon for No Child Left Behind BY NANCY ZUCKERBROD ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — President Bush's signature No Child Left Behind education law is headed for fundamental changes as Congress rewrites it this year, including a likely softening of do-or-die deadlines. School administrators long have complained about the annual deadlines, which punish schools that do not make adequate progress toward having all children perform at their grade levels. Now, those complaints are being taken up by lawmakers spanning the political spectrum. School officials also have rebelled at requirements that students with limited English ability or with learning disabilities perform as well as their grade-level peers. Key Democrats who control the federal purse strings are demanding changes. Moderate Republicans say the law must be more flexible. On Thursday, they were joined by dozens of GOP conservatives who want an even more rad- an even more radical overhaul. Lawmakers say a major flaw is that schools that miss achievement targets by a little are treated the same way as schools that miss those goals by a lot. Schools then are labeled as needing improvement and face the same penalties. requirements without losing federal education money. Currently, any state that does not adhere to the requirements of "The overriding intrusion in No Child Left Behind is too large to deal with unless you fundamentally change the legislation." "We can't have one-size-fits all." Rep. Peter Hoekstra, R-Mich., said Thursday. He led a group of House and Senate lawmakers in introducing legislation that would let states opt out of No Child Left Behind ROY BLUNT House Republican Whip the $23 billion program cannot get the federal dollars that come with it. The requirements include annual testing in math and reading in grades three through eight, and once in high school. The tests must show steady yearly progress toward a goal of getting students working on grade level by the year 2014. House Republican Whip Roy Blunt of Missouri is supporting the conservatives' bill, even though he voted for the law in 2001. "The overriding intrusion in No Child Left Behind is too large to deal with unless you fundamentally change the legislation," Blunt said. A former education secretary, GOP Sen. Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, said, "That's a visceral reaction to too much federal involvement in local schools." Alexander is not backing Hookerst and Blunt in their effort but said their concerns must be taken into account when the law is rewritten. Education Secretary Margaret Spellings has testified on Capitol Hill this week, hearing from Republicans and Democrats who want changes. Rep. James Walsh, a senior member of the House appropriations subcommittee that oversees education spending, wants the law loosened for schools that are failing due to the performance of immigrant students who do not speak English fluently. >> CORNSTARCH EXPLOSIONS Museum to hold playful food event Glowing pickles to draw masses BY DANAE DESHAZER If students aren't checking out something exotic for spring break, they might still be able to experience explosions, fiber optics, and even glowing pickles at the Natural History Museum's science event. Playing With Your Food. Playing With Your Food, March 19-24, will offer a dozen hands-on experiments for people of all ages, all involving everyday food items like pickles, cornstarch, eggs and jell O. The experiments include egg tosses, an oil and water lava lamp, light experiments with Jell-O. exploding plastic bags filled with baking soda and marshmallow missiles. The museum has offered spring break events for four consecutive years and has drawn up to 3,000 visitors each year, said Teresa MacDonald, director of education at the museum. MacDonald chose "food" for this year's topic because patrons will be familiar with it. "We try to pick a topic that resonates with the broadest general public, something that people are familiar with so they feel comfortable," MacDonald said. "But, we will take them beyond and show them the interesting science behind it." The free structure of the event will allow patrons to peruse all experiments on their own schedule from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Two of the experiments are too dangerous for the visitors to conduct themselves, and will be facilitated by MacDonald and Dawn Kirchner, museum educator. Kirchner said the electrocution of a pickle produces a yellow-orange glow. The cornstarch explosion, Kirchner's personal favorite, makes a large fireball and a loud popping noise. "Anything that involves fire, people will automatically be interested in". Kirchner said. Emily Tremain, Apple Valley, Minn., graduate student, is a student volunteer who will help supervise the hands-on experiments. She said most people don't think about the science behind food that they eat or cook. "It's all stuff you can do in your kitchen," Tremain said. "We're not using anything expensive or bizarre. It's something that undergraduates can come and check out."

Associated Press Young candidate represents students 》 LOCAL GOVERNMENT With a cigarette in his hand, hair dangling down near his eyes, and BY MATT ERICKSON Face jacket, jeans and cowboy boots, jake Davis does not look like a politician. He doesn't sound like one, either, when he speaks frankly about how he thinks the city views University students. Davis But Davis, a 28-year-old Lawrence singer-songwriter, was a candidate for the city commission until he was eliminated in the primary Feb. 28. He received 2.1 percent of the vote Davis came to Lawrence to become a University student in 1996 A National Merit Scholar, he originally majored in chemical engineering but became bored with the subject. He bounced around between different majors until he stopped taking classes in 2004. "People hate the students more and more," Davis said. "They don't like them being around." "I just wasn't a big homework guy" he said. Now, he's completing prerequisites at Johnson County Community College, and he said he planned to return to the University as soon as this fall to finish a degree in economics. He also works full-time in data entry at Pearson Government Solutions, 3833 Greenway Dr. Davis said he was concerned that Lawrence had little respect for young people and students, partly because he thought the city was trying to cater to businesses and suburban families in an attempt to emulate Johnson County. "Johnson County's fine. I've spent a lot of time in Johnson County," Davis said. "But there's already a Johnson County, and there's no reason to give up what makes Lawrence different." Davis pointed to a city ordinance that prohibited more than three unrelated people from living together. er in certain areas of the city as an example of the city's preference for families rather than students. He said his main platform was to use environmentally friendly policies to attract businesses that would offer good jobs for students after they graduate. He said the presence of large retail stores didn't help the city as much as businesses in the science and technology industries would. "Everything I was trying to do was just trying to raise the image of Lawrence, to make it look attractive to the rest of the world." Davis said. "Downtown makes us attractive. Kohl's does not. I don't think anyone's going to move a business here because some strip mall out on Wakarusa is a really nice strip mall." Davis said he decided to run just a few days before the application deadline, leaving him with little time to raise money. His only campaign expense: flippers he copied for $8. Meanwhile, the top two finishers in the primary have raised more than $20,000 in campaign funds. All six candidates who survived the primary have accumulated at least $5,000. The general election will take place April 3. Dennis "Boog" Highberger, city commissioner, said Davis had some great ideas but he lacked the name recognition and financial support necessary to mount a successful campaign. "I think you have to have a lot of personal connections all across the community, and you have to motivate other people to help with your campaign," Highberger said. Davis plans to remain involved in local government. He attended last week's city commission meeting to speak against a tax abatement for a local business expansion. "If there's something that I think matters at all, I'll be down there," he said. Kansan staff writer Matt Erickson can be contacted at merickson@ kansan.com.

Because the arena isn't close to any major hotels, the players are staying downtown, at a Westin on The Magnificent Mile, a street full of shops and restaurants that is one of the town's major tourist draws. "They probably won't give us much free time, to try to keep us focused on the game," freshman guard Brennan Bechard said. It wasn't much of a day for sightseeing in Chicago anyway. The afternoon temperature was 30 degrees, and a strong breeze was fitting of the "Windy City" nickname. After going through the motions of answering questions and then taking part in the shoot around, the team resumed showing its character as the players grabbed bottles of Gatorade and headed back to their hotel.

MINSTER: The United States has more than 3,000 counties. By the time spring break is over, I'll have seen more than 800. What's your beach trip worth, next to that? FRIDAY, MARCH 16, 2007 WWW.KANSAN.COM See Kansan.com for more opinions and free for All comments THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN OPINION PAGE 5A 》 OUR VIEW Different zip code, drunkenness don't excuse cheating One too many redheaded slut shots, Nelly Furtado's "Promiscuous" pulsating through the speakers and dozens of bodies rubbing up on each other; all the makings of a hot and heavy spring break. Perfect, go and get you some. Perfect, go and get you some. However, if your Facebook status indicates that you're in a relationship, maybe you should step away from the dance floor, put down the glow sticks and get some fresh air. Even the slightest inking to play the fields in uncharted territory could be a sign that you should break up with your significant other. Before you travel south. A breakup, though almost never simple, is always easier than seeing that extra pain (or vengeful psychosis) in your lover's eyes when you confess your disrespectful tourist trap stop. Or, if you choose not to confess, living with the guilt may eat at you like hungry tourists at a Las Vegas buffet. Ignorance of the cheating laws is no excuse. So, if you need a quick brush-up on cheating 101 here's a quick rundown of what significant others deem cheating. Sex (obviously), blowjobs (this includes both those giving and receiving), kissing (this is widely debated among cheatologists, but it's safe to put it in the cheating category) and naked interactions in a body of water — saltwater or fresh. And for those of you still in denial, being in different time zones, zip codes or crossing state lines from your significant other still counts as cheating. The definition of "cheating" in New York is the same as in Kansas. Cheating only takes half a second to begin and months to apologize and agonize about. Not to mention your suitcase will be significantly heavier on the way home because it will be full of souvenirs you bought at the guilt shop. So when heading to your choice spring break destination, Just. Don't. Do it. County-hunting a goal-oriented, strange way to spend spring break — Tasha Riggins for the editorial board. COMMENTARY I told my wife I would take her to London for spring break and being a man of my word, that is exactly where we are heading. London, Ky., here we come! We'll be passing through on our way to Richmond, Va., to visit my sister's family. Interstate 64 offers a more direct route, but we've already been that way and I don't like The thing is, I really enjoy doing it. I like marking a map of where I've been. I like seeing tour- ist attractions that most other people don't know exist. same way twice. You see, I like to visit new counties. BY BRANDON MINSTER KANSAN COLUMNIST OPINIONKANSAN.COM Last weekend we went to Yes, feel free to laugh at me. It is a strange hobby, and I know I should be ashamed of it. I keep track of the counties I visit, with the goal of reaching all 3,131 counties (and county equivalents) in the country. There may be a nicer place to spend spring break than driving two-lane roads in th nether regions of Appalachia, but I don't know where that place would be. Lincoln, Neb., so I could get five new counties, and on the way we saw the Homestead National Monument and, to celebrate my Bohemian heritage, the Czech Museum of Wilber, Neb. We also saw the famous black squirrels of Marysville, Kan. It makes for awkward conversations when I have to explain why our next few vacations are planned for such places as Nicodemus, Kan., and Red Cloud, Neb. In the next couple months we will go to West Mineral, Kan., and see Big Brutus, the second largest electric shovel in the world. The strangest part of this hobby is that there are other people who do the same thing. There's even an organization, which I've joined, and I get a quarterly newsletter explaining all the latest events in the world of county hunting. When we got married, my wife and I tried to reconstruct her past travels. To save ourselves the trouble in the future, we've been keeping track for our kids since they were born. One of my biggest failures as a father was when I took my son to only three counties his first year of life. On our spring break trip, though, he will get 150. Instead of sitting in a bar in Mexico thinking, "I spent 500 bucks for this?" I'll be zigzagging across the country in a station wagon. There may be a nicer place to spend spring break than driving two-lane roads in the nether regions of Appalachia, but I don't know where that place would be. By the time we get back, I'll have a county total of over 830, more than 25 percent of my way to my goal. And, on our return trip through Louisville, Ky., we'll see Colonel Sanders's gravesite. Good luck finding that in Cancun. Minster is a Lawrence junior in economics.

MARCH 16. 2007 Murder-suicide in elevator fire Deranged ex-boyfriend kills woman BY MELISSA TRUJILLO ASSOCIATED PRESS BOSTON — Raymond Echavarria dragged his ex girlfriend into an elevator in the office building where she worked. He then used a lighter to ignite fumes from a can of gasoline, killing the couple in a fiery explosion. Authorities found the two badly burned bodies Wednesday inside the elevator, along with the 2-gallon fuel container, the lighter and a knife. Investigators were treating the slaying as a murder-suicide. Attorney Phil Lamonica, whose law office shares the common area with a psychiatric clinic where Robles worked as a secretary, said he bought lunch for Robles, her young son and another secretary Wednesday. in the elevator, causing a blast that was heard throughout the three-story building. "I heard a lot of screaming. At first, we all thought she was trapped in the elevator and had claustrophobia, so we started punching all the buttons." PHIL LAMONICA Co-worker Lamonica said Robles and the boy were laughing and talking when they returned to work, but a short time later Echavaria drove up. Police said the pair apparently argued near or inside the elevator. Police said Echavarria, 23, pulled Xiomara Robles, 21, into the elevator shortly after she returned from a lunch break to the office building in the suburb of Lynn. Moments later, office workers heard an explosion inside the elevator, which became engulfed in flames. "I heard a Fire Chief Edward Higgins said Echavarria poured the gasoline out of the container and ignited the fuel vapors that had accumulated I heard a lot of screaming." Lamonica told The Daily Item of Lynn. "At first, we all thought she was trapped in the elevator and had claustrophobia, so we started punching all the buttons. I ran to call the fire department and while I was on the phone, I heard the explosion." Robles' boy was left outside the elevator and survived. Social workers placed him and the couples 14-month-old child with relatives. Something Missing? Get the business and accounting skills you need to succeed at the UMKC Bloch School.

BLOCH SCHOOL OF BUSINESS AND PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION AACSB ACCREDITED Kiss me I'm Irish I'll just keep it simple. Let's use a placeholder for the dog's face. The dog's face is visible in both images, but it's not clearly identifiable. I'll just put a placeholder where the face is. So the image shows two dogs with long hair and bows on their heads. Actually, looking at the first dog, it's more likely to be a Shih Tzu or a Maltese breed, as they are common breeds known for their long hair and bows. But without a clear image, I can't provide a precise identification. If you need to find specific breed names, look at the image closely. The dog on the left has a flower-like hair accessory, which looks like a tiara. The dog on the right has a bow. These are likely breed names based on the appearance of the dog. Wait, let me re-examine the image. It's a black-and-white photo of two dogs. They have long hair and bows on their heads. The background is indistinct, but it seems to be an indoor setting. If I had to guess, the dog on the left could be a Shih Tzu or a Maltese, but without a clear image, it's hard to be sure. But looking at the nose and ears, they might be similar to some other breeds. The dog on the right looks like a Shih Tzu, based on the hair texture and color. Final check of the text: "Dogs are wonderful companions!" And "Breed names can vary widely, so it's hard to determine exactly what each one is." In conclusion, the dogs in the image are likely Shih Tzus or Malteses, based on their appearance. Dogs are indeed wonderful companions! Breed names can vary widely, so it's hard to determine exactly what each one is.

Pam Lockeby/ASSOCIATED PRESS Missing body found in trash bag MURDER BY RUSS BYNUM ASSOCIATED PRESS BRUNSWICK, Ga. — A 6-year-old boy who vanished a week ago while playing near his trailer-park home was found slain Thursday after a registered sex offender and three other suspects sexed investigators for days with conflicting stories of the youngster's fate. Glynn County Police Chief Matt Doering said all four suspects would probably be charged with murder in the slaving of Christopher Michael Barrios. Doering said it was obvious the boy had been killed, but he would not say how and would not disclose how long the body had been there. The body was found in a black trash bag among some trees and brush just 15 feet from a roadside behind the Glynn County Airport. A Department of Natural Resources game warden helping in the search, Cpl. Jesse Cook, said he and a coworker stopped to investigate when they spotted tire marks where a car had pulled off the road. Once they got out to look, they found the bag in plain sight. "It was obvious," Cook said. "But if you weren't looking for it, you probably would've thought it was just a trash bag." About 60 volunteer searchers, many wearing T-shirts printed with the boy's photo, hugged and wept as Doering confirmed Christopher's death to reporters. "You suspected all along in your heart, it's just not the outcome you want," said Mari Charnock. "At least we know, though. At least it's over." Earlier this week, police arrested four people - a convicted child molester living in the trailer park, his parents and a friend of theirs — in connection with the boy's disappearance. Investigators said the four told a tangle of conflicting and ever-shifting stories — that they knew nothing about the boy's disappearance, that the boy was still alive, and that he had been abducted, killed and buried. But repeated searches of the spots where the boy was supposedly buried turned up nothing, investigators said. Christopher lived with his father in a neighborhood of about 50 mobile homes along a narrow, U-shaped road just outside of Brunswick. Neighbors told police that they last saw the boy on the evening of March 8, playing by himself on the swing set outside a friend's home. One of his toys, a Star Wars lightsaber, was found beside the road. George David Edenfield, a mentally slow 32-year-old man who lived with his parents across the street from the boy's grandmother, was arrested and charged with violating his probation from a 1997 child molestation conviction, which prohibits him from contact with children. Police said he admitted playing a role in Christopher's disappearance, but they would not be more specific. The St. Patrick's Day Party Headquarters! BALLOONS! MUGS! Beads! Hats!

The Jayhawks tip off against the Niagara Eagles at 6 p.m. tonight. Amanda Sellers/KANSAN Steven Colbert three Big 12 teams make Final Four BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS CHICAGO — The Jayhawks practiced twice on Thursday. The afternoon shoot-around at the United Center was open to the public, but they also practiced privately at a local high school earlier in the day. The earlier session was the more intense of the two, as the coaches focused on drills they thought would help prepare the players for Niagara. "There were lots of picks, lots of getting through screens and stuff like that," freshman forward Darrell Arthur said. "Also a lot of boxing out, because they are averaging 15 offensive rebounds per game." Who's up next? The Purple Eagles have an advantage at the forward position because their big men can shoot three-pointers as well as rebound. That puts most of the defensive focus for tonight's game on the Jayhawk forwards, who will have to do some running. "It changes the post defense, because you have to think like a guard now," Arthur said. "There's going to be a lot of screens up there." Injury update: The Jayhawks defecated the Wildcats in Kentucky last January. "I would like to play Kentucky," he said. "Just so they can get a shot at us again." If the Jayhaws win tonight, they will face the winner of the Kentucky-Villanova game, which will take place 30 minutes after the Kansas game ends. After being neutral on the subject all week, sophomore guard Brandon Rush expressed a rooting interest on Thursday. "I'm 100 percent right now," he said.

There was one thing Stephanie Smith did not want to do. She did not want to watch more tennis. But, after some gentle prod ing from her father, Larry, Smith found herself sitting courtside later that day, her eyes locked in on the University of Kansas tennis team in action. Fast-forward nearly 10 years, and there is Smith, again locked in on a University of Kansas tennis match. Except this time Smith is on the court, rallying to carry Kansas to a 4-3 victory over Utah. From the sideline, Larry Smith watches his daughter. "My dad would drag me to KU tennis matches," a smiling Smith said. "I didn't always want to go." Stephanie Smith is a junior on the Kansas tennis team, and, as a native Kansan, she is a rarity. There is a distinct international flavor in college tennis. International players Home court advantage dominate most Division 1 rosters. "It's always the place I wanted to play," Smith said. "My parents both went to K-State, so it was a little different to want to come to KU, but it's always where I wanted to play tennis." The lajahwaks are a prime example. The team features three players from Russia and two from Hungary. Only Smith and junior Lauren Hommell hail from the United States. Smith said that beating the odds and making the lineup has been a "dream come true." "We have to leave town a lot to go shopping," Smith said. "You can't even find a good place to go shopping." "She's definitely a Kansas girl and wanted to be a lajahawk. She wanted to stay close to home and this has been a good fit for her," she said. In the central Kansas town of Salina grabbing a famous Cozy Inn hamburger is about as good as it gets. Coach Amy Hall-Holt echoed Smith's thoughts. Following through But Salina does have one distinctive trait. This city is obsessed with "She's probably the best girls tennis player that I've seen come through Central," said Danny Struble, a 2005 graduate and former tennis player for Salina Central. "I mean, we had the Boys State Champion tennis team and she could beat all the guys on that team." Lisa Lipovac/KANSAN BALSAMO Smith left her own mark on Salina athletics by placing second three times in the 5A State Championships, playing for Salina Central High School. Of the seven women that make up the tennis team, junior Stephanie Smith is the only one from Kansas. Smith is from Salina, where she graduated from Salina Central. sports. Nearly 10,000 people flock to watch Salina Central play Salina South in football, a match-up that Dallas Cowboys cornerback Terrence Newman and current Kansas running back lake Sharp both participated in during their high school years in Salina. Break point Smith found that growing up in Salina posed a few problems for a young tennis player trying to stay competitive in the fanatical world of youth tennis. During her freshman season, Smith won nine singles matches and led the team with a .500 winning percentage. Smith followed that up with an 8-6 singles record her sophomore year and was named to the First Team Academic All Big 12. "Being from Salina, I had to go to a lot of different towns," Smith said. "We didn't have indoor courts in Salina until the middle of my high school career. I would have to travel at least an hour to play indoors in the winter."

The weekend series against the No. 8 Aggies (18-2) marks the first time the layhawks (12-9) have opened their Big 12 Conference season on Texas A&M turf, Olsen Field has proven to be quite the advantage for the Aggies, who began the season unranked. Although Texas &M has a commanding hold on the series record at 35-13, last season it was all Kansas. The Aggies were the last regular-season opponent the Jayhawks faced. Their sweeping of the Aggies kicked off the eight-game winning streak that resulted Since then, the Aggies have won 15 of their 16 games, losing only their second game of the season to the defending College World Series champions, No. 5 Oregon State. No. 14 Arizona State was Texas A&M is 16-1 at home and has not left the friendly confines of College Station since Feb. 11, when the team wrapped up the three-day Houston College Classic at Minute Maid Park. Numbers like that could be dangerous for a Kansas pitching staff whose ERA is almost a run higher at 3.69 than A&M's staff at 2.75, but are exactly what the Aggies are hoping for if they are to redeem last year's performance against the Jayhawks. On Sunday, junior outfielder Ben Feltner went 3-for-3 with an RBI in the series finale. The Temple Junior College transfer will be a new and dangerous face for Kansas. Feltner's .375 batting average is second only to Aggie giant Blake Stouffer. Stouffer, junior third baseman, last week's co-Big 12 Player of the Week, he leads the Aggies in batting average (.429), triples (3), home runs (3) and RBI (28). The Aggies have the uppe- hand on the Jayhawks heading into the weekend Texas A&M swept Florida last weekend. Relentless for the duration of the weekend, the Aggies outscored the Gators 26-7 in the three-game set. SEE BASEBALL ON PAGE 3B Last season, the Jayhawks swept the Aggies.

He was 80. Kuhn died at St. Luke's Hospital following a short illness, his spokesman Bob Wirtz said. When Kuhn took over as commissioner from William Eckert on Feb. 4, 1969, baseball just had completed its final season as a tradition-bound 20 team sport, one with no playoffs, a reserve clause and an average salary of about $19,000. Kuhn battled the rise of the NFL and a combative players' union that besieged him with lawsuits, grievances and work stoppages. Yet it was also a time of record attendance and revenue and a huge expansion of the sport's television presence. Along with his bumpy reign came a string of controversial decisions. When Hank Aaron hit his 715th home run to break Babe Ruth's career record in 1974, Kahn was not in the stands. And he banned Hall of Farmers Willie Mays and Mickey Mantle from associating with their former teams because of liassons with gambling casinos By the time Peter Uberroth succeeded Kuhn on Oct. 1, 1984, the major leagues had 26 teams in tour divisions, a designated bitter in the American League, the first time of tremendous growth in the popularity of the game." Kuhn said, "and that it was a time in which no one could question the integrity of the game." It was also a time of memo- rable ledues. Kuhn did battle with ornery owners like Charlie Finley, "I want it to be remembered that I was commissioner during a time of tremendous growth in the popularity of the game." night World Series games, color- plashed uniforms, free agency and an average salary of nearly $330,000.

Finley once- went so as call- ing Kuhn "the village idiot." In addition to owners, Kuhn tangled with former player stars like Mays, Mantle and Curt Flood, and union head Marvin Miller. His downfall came after he presided over a 50-day strike that split the 1981 season in half. "Bowie was a good guy, and I admired him. Even though we had our disagreements, I never lost my respect for his integrity," Steinbrenner said through spokesman Howard Rubenstein. A prim and proper lawyer who stood ramrod erect, Kuhn was regarded by some as a stuffed shirt. "You've got to develop a sense of humor," Kuhn once said in an interview. "You have to be able to stand back and laugh. That's invaluable, or you are apt to go slightly balmy." Born in Takoma Park, Md., on Oct. 28, 1926, Kuhn grew up in Washington, D.C., as a fan of the original Washington Senators — yet he allowed the expansion Senators to leave after the 1971 season and become the Texas Rangers. He graduated from Princeton in 1947 and received his law degree in 1950 from Virginia. He is survived by wife, Luisa Kuhn; son Stephen Kuhn; daughter Alex Bower; and stepsons Paul Degener and George Degener.

Several intramural champions named their Tuesday, while the rest finished Thursday. Scholarship hall wins second title Winners play in Allen Fieldhouse BY SCOTT TOLAND Battenfeld Scholarship Hall earned the right to play in Allen Fieldhouse by winning its first two games in the eight team Residential Hall Tournament. In its first round of play, Battenfield defeated Grace Pearson Scholarship Hall 47-35 before winning against The Lewis All-Stars 59-47 in the semifinals. The NCAA Tournament officially began Thursday,but March Madness was already in session in Allen Fieldhouse on Wednesday night. Six teams squared off in three different brackets to win their three respective intramural basketball tournaments. Winners were named in the Men's Residential Hall Tournament; the Women's Open Tournament; and the Men's Open Competitive Tournament. In the championship contest, Battenfeld ran over K.K. Amiini Scholarship Hall 56-26 to win its second consecutive intramural basketball title. "We had a good team this year and the incoming freshmen helped a lot, too," he said. Derik Harlow, Chanute sophomore, has also been a part of the team for both championship runs. Achison senior Jesse Haug, who has been a member of the team both years, said, "Everyone was really excited about this game. Playing in the Fieldhouse is something that every KU student wants to do sometime during their college career. We had some good shooters and we played fast and that made it tough for teams to stay with us." Playing in Allen Fieldhouse is nothing new to St. Louis senior Lauren Jenkins, who helped lead the team Sweetness to the championship Wednesday night. "This is my fourth year in a row winning the championship in the Fieldhouse," she said, and added that her former team, Keep Shooting, had made it to the Fieldhouse during her first three years of college. Sweetness defeated Hang Time in the final contest by a score of 33-22. To reach the championship, Sweetness won two games to emerge from its half of the 10-team Women's Open Tournament. The team finished undefeated in pool play and posted a 6-0 overall record for the intramural basketball season. Trent Peter, Tribune senior, said, "I've practiced at the Fieldhouse before, but it is always fun to play in it." Finishing a stellar intramural season was the Saints, who capped off its championship run in the Men's Open Competitive tournament with a 41-36 victory against Balls'in the title game. The intramural championship games in the Men's and Women's Greek division, the Co-Recreational division, and the Men's Open Recreational division were played Thursday to conclude the 2007 intramural basketball season.

"She's got a tremendous GPA. The same thing with tennis. She is out here working on individual workouts." Smith's 2007 season has been marked by injuries and illness. She impressed last fall with a 9-2 singles, but an ankle injury kept her out of the first six dual matches of the spring season. Smith struggled to regain her fall form after her return, suffering two straight losses. She has since rebounded to win three out her last five to bring her record to 3-4 on the season. Approach shot "I think they [other players] understand how neat it is to play for KU," Smith said, "but I do feel like I have more of a sense of pride for playing here because I've always grown up admiring KU athletes." Three hours before Smith climbed the victory for Kansas with her singles win against Utah, a young girl walked into the First Serve Tennis Center with her father. The girl was no older than 10 years old. "Go talk to her," the father said. So, with pigtails in her hair and a media guide in her hand, the young girl approached Stephanie Smith. "Can I have your autograph?" the young girl asked. "I got it," she said. Kansan sportswriter Rustin Dodd can be contacted at rddd@kansan.com. After Smith signed her media guide, the girl ran back to her to her father with a toothy grin. Edited by Ashley Thompson BASEBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B) in a Big 12 Championship and ended in the NCAA tournament. Several of the key factors that brought on the Aggie sweep have graduated or signed professionally, but not all of them. Junior outfielder John Allman has remained the man of consistency in the Kansas lineup. His .408 average leads the team, as well as his .517 on-base percentage. Morrison provides power as he leads the Jayhawks in doubles (8) and RBI (23). While hitting a solid .329, his four home runs tie junior second baseman Ryne Price for the most on the team. Regardless of who does the scoring, Kansas just wants to be sure it does. The 18-5 victory over Penn State on Tuesday night was refreshing, but the 18-3 defeat to Wichita State was unsettling. Either way, the Jayhawks have shifted mentality. "That happens," Morrison said. "We've blown a couple teams out here in the past couple weeks. It's going to happen. You've got to go out there and play every play like youre up by one. You don't stop diving for balls, you don't stop running hard, just because you're losing doesn't mean you give up.

Eric Maynor hit a 15-foot jumper with 1.8 seconds left to give Virginia Commonwealth a 79-77 upset victory over the Blue Devils in the first round of the NCAA tournament Thursday night. Maynor finished with 22 points, six in the final 1:24. Duke lost a first-round game for the first time since 1996. The loss also ended the sixth-seeded Blue Devils' string of Sweet 16 appearances at nine. It was the longest active streak and second-longest behind North Carolina's 13-year run. Fittingly, it was VCU (28-6) that knocked off George Mason — the tournament's surprise team last year — in the Colonial Athletic Association championship game. Maynor sealed that 65-59 win by scoring nine of his 20 points in the final 2 minutes. Jesse Pellot-Rosas 16-foot jumper gave VCU a 72-71 lead with 2-03 remaining. The Blue Devils (22-11) tied it three times, the last time at 77 when DeMarcus Nelson went coast-to-coast to hit a layup with 10.3 seconds left. Maynor took the ensuing inbound pass and carried the ball across center. Driving to the paint, he pulled up and hit a perfect jumper from just above the foul line and over Duke's Jon Scheyer. The Blue Devils' chance to pull off a last-second victory failed when Greg Paulus' wild attempt from mid-court hit wide of the basket and off the backboard. Don't miss out on the ACTION in MARCH!

Kansas will take on No. 8 Texas A&M, which has won 17 of its last 18 games, starting tonight, and No. 14 Oklahoma State, which has won nine of its past 10 games, next weekend. teams to impressive starts. JEREMY S. BROWN While the Aggies and Cowboys are two of the most complete teams in the Big 12, two seniors in particular have guided their respective Texas A&M has been led by a stellar start ing pitching so far this season. Leading the pack is senior right. hander Kyle Nicholson Nicholson As Nicholson posts a conference-best 1.02 ERA and 4-1 record, the Aggies are off to their best start since 2004, the last year they reached the Big 12 and NCAA tournaments. This season has been rodempive for Nicholson and the Aggies, especially considering how last season ended. Texas A&M was swept by Kansas in its last series of the season, finishing the year with a 25-30-1 record. "Everybody went into the off-season with a terrible taste in our mouth," Nicholson said. "There's no doubt that we worked harder than anyone in the country over the summer." The dedication the Aggies exhibited has paid off as they enter Big 12 play with an 18-2 record. "We've just got a really good team with some guys who stick together, are in it to win and hate losing more than anything in the world," Nicholson said. Nicholson has experienced a 180-degree turnaround in his own performance. Leading the Aggies in starts last season, he also had the highest team ERA among starters at 4.35 and a pedestrian 4.5 record. "It's hard to explain because I didn't really change anything mechanically or pitch wise," Nicholson said. "I'm throwing everything the same, but I guess I've matured into a better pitcher." Nicholson and the Aggies know that their impressive start will be meaningless if they don't get back to the postseason. Texas A&M's ultimate goal is to reach the College World Series in Omaha. "We're not satisfied. We've got a lot of work to do to get to where we want to be and that's Big 12 Champions," Nicholson said. "There's no doubt that everybody on this team believes that we can get into the postseason and what we need to do to get to Omaha." O One preseason candidate to reach the College World Series was Oklahoma State, led by senior second baseman Tyler Mach. Mach Coming off a coming on to a junior campaign in which he won Big 12 Co-Player of the Year and Big 12 Newcomer of the Year honors as a third baseman. Mach had the opportunity to join the professional ranks. However, he inexplicably slid to the 40th round of the Major League Baseball Amateur Draft before being selected by the St. Louis Cardinals. After that, there was little doubt he returned to Oklahoma State. "It it just depended on where I went in the draft," Mach said. "It made my decision pretty easy when I got drafted in the 40th round." When Mach got back to stillwater, Okla., in August, though, he found out that hed need to move to second base to make room for transfer Matt Mangini at third base. Mach said he was more than willing to make the move. He now prefers the free reign of playing at second where he can be involved in relays and turning double plays. The move has also paid dividends for the Oklahoma State offense. Mach is on a scorching pace, leading the Big 12 with a .500 batting average with five home runs, 29 RBI, 66 total bases and a .825 slugging percentage, while Mangini is batting.427 with four home runs and 26 RBI. However, the Cowboys (14-4) have shown a tendency to go only as far as Mach will carry them. In their last three losses, Mach has gone a combined 1-for-12 with only one RBI. Mach said that lately some teammates have kidded him about that, but he's poised to bear the burden of leading the Cowboys to victory. "I hope every time I have a bad game we don't lose, but right now that's the situation, so I guess I've just got to have a good game every day. No pressure," Mach said. While Mach is on pace to surpass the incredible numbers he put up last season, he realizes Oklahoma State's success will be measured by whether it can go deeper into the postseason than the opening round of the NCAA tournament, where it was eliminated last season. Mach said that with the offense the Cowboys have, all they need is to stay healthy and get some help from the pitching staff to reach Omaha. "There's no doubt that we can go all the way in my mind."

BY DREW DAVISON KANSAN COLUMNIST DDAVISON@KANSAN.COM Georgetown is a tough team with great post players in Roy Let's look at how the regions break down: The East is loaded with talent and is the most difficult region in recent memory. North Carolina, Georgetown and Texas are legitimate National Championship teams. A North Carolina vs. Texas Sweet 16 match-up would be similar to the first two Kansas vs. Texas games. Both teams have NBA-ready players. Arguably, it would be the two most athletic teams in the country on the same floor. I hope this game comes to fruition because it is destined to be an instant classic. Hibbert and Jeff Green, but its guard play is questionable. The Hoyas should make the Elite Eight, before they fall to the Longhorns. After seeing Texas' Kevin Durant twice in person, it is hard to pick against Texas. The South has a strong No. 1 (Ohio State), weak No. 2. (Memphis) and good No. 3 (Texas A&M) If it plays out Ohio State vs. Texas A&M for the Final Four, I like Ohio State. The Aggies have the most clutch player in guard Acie Law IV, but it's hard to see Antanas Kavalaiskas handling Buckees freshman Grey Oden. The Midwest region is the easiest, by far. Without Brian Butch. Wisconsin is not a serious contender anymore, and I don't see Oregon doing anything. Florida is the clearcut favorite in this region, although its second-round game will be challenging. Arizona has freshman stud Chase Budinger, and Purdue played its way into the tournament late in the season. Bottom line: Florida is talented, deep and has the easiest road to the Final Four. Of course, I like Kansas in the West. The second round game, if it's Villanova, poses problems if it gets hot from beyond the arc. That's how Oral Roberts took down Kansas early in the season, but after two come-from-behind victories against a Texas team that was hitting threes, KU should be able to win even if 'Nova is on from the three-point line. From there. I'd like to see Kansas in rematches against Florida and Texas. The games were great, and they both ended in Kansas' favor. Davison is an Overland Park senior in journalism.

The coaching staff put up a dock last weekend to get the team back on the water in time for its opening competition at the end of spring break. "You can see the morale as a team a little more excited to be outside," senior coxswam Samira Naii said. The Jayhawks continued to practice indoors because ice damaged the team's dock in February. and Southern Methodist — opened their seasons last week. Texas will compete at the Longhorn Invitational in Austin, Texas, this weekend. Catloth said the late start outdoors would put Kansas at a disadvantage for the beginning of the season, but that disparity would disappear over time. Kansas' competitors — Texas "Things even out toward the end of the season when people have been out on the water," he said. Kansas ended a successful fall season by defeating K-State in November. Naji said that could give the team confidence as it entered the spring season. Caloth said different teams focused on specific aspects of the sport, such as technique and endurance, in the longer fall races. "The fall season gives you a little indication of maybe how you can do in the spring, but the spring's really a brand new time." Catloth said. The opening regatta will be at 9 a.m. March 24 at Burcham Park, Second and Indiana streets. "In the spring, everyone's just trying to go as fast as they can," he added.

He finally broke 70 at Bay Hill. He finally broke 70 at Bay Hill. Ending a peculiar drought at a tournament he won four straight times, Woods shot 6 under 64 in the Arnold Palmer Invitational for his first sub-70 round in three years to share the lead with Vaughn Taylor and Paul Casey. Woods played his best golf in nearly six months, giving himself a birdie opportunity on all but one hole. He opened with four birdies in the first six holes, missing putts of 10 and 12 feet on the other two. "It's definitely the best round of the year," Woods said, pausing for effect. "I haven't played that many rounds." Even so, he could not remember the last time he hit 17 greens in regulation, especially on a Bay Hill course with ankle-deep rough framing the tight fairways And while Palmer changed the scorecard to a par 70,it didn't stop Woods or any one else. Woods won every year from 2000 through 2003, but after opening with a 67 the follow year, he failed The 64 was the lowest opening round at Bay Hill since Woods shot 64 in 1998. Taylor played bogey-free, picking on two of the toughest holes, including “It's definitely the best round or the year. I haven't played that many rounds." TIGER WOODS Pro Golfer Casey's only previous trip to Arnie's course was in 2004, when he shot 77 in the first round and withdrew. He also played without a bogey, joining the leaders with an approach into 7 feet for birdie on the 18th. "Having it played it twice now, I can honestly say I enjoy the golf course." Casey said. ow year, he failed to break 70 his next 11 rounds and was rarely in contention. He fixed that situation quickly Thursday morning, even as a strong gust kicked up early in his round. for rape to shoot at least under par on that front nine, and that was all I was concerned about." Woods said. "I thought it was important The only green he missed was his only oogey. After a 3-wood on the 18th his ninth of the round, he was between a 9-iron and a wedge over the water. The ball took aim at the pin, hit about 6 feet short, then spun enough to trickle off the green against the rocks framing the water. Woods said he could have hit the next shot if it were a practice round or his pro-am, but didn't want to risk a big number. He took a penalty drop, chipped within a foot and took his lumps. He picked up three more birdies on the back nine, finishing with an approach into 6 feet on the ninth hole. "I may have left one or two shots out there," he said. "Well, 64 around here is not too bad." It wasn't that unusual, either. Sergio Garcia was in the group at 66, while Tampa winner Mark Calcavecchia, Scott Plankl and K.J. Choi were among those at 67. About the only thing Palmer can do now is pour concrete on the greens. "The greens were very receptive," Casey said when asked about the good scoring in breezy conditions. "That was key. If you were in the fairway and had the right club in your hand, you could really attack the flag." One of the par 5s converted to a par 4 was No. 4, which played even shorter from a forward tee at 463 yards. Woods and Garcia wound up hitting 5-wood off the tee and a short iron (8-iron for Woods, 7-iron for Garcia) into the green. The 16th played into the wind, but most players kept the ball in the short grass and kept big numbers off their cards. That was the key for getting it around Bay Hill, for Garcia narrowly missed the fairway at the par-5 sixth and could only chop it out with a 6-iron. year but has struggled this season, especially with his temper. He got so down on himself at Riviera that he even impressed the Hollywood crowd by firing his ball into the side of a hill after a bogey. On Sunday, he was in decent position at Innisbrook until closing with a 77. "The front nine, I didn't really miss a shot. I pretty much did everything well." VAUGHN TAYLOR Pro Golfer "The front nine, I didn't really miss a shot," Taylor said. "I pretty much did everything well." "I've always struggled with a little bit of bad temper and getting my head down," Taylor said. "This past week was a tough one to swallow. I've tried to keep a good attitude, keep my head up, because I feel like I'm It came at a good time to tarjon, who made his Rder Cup debut last pretty close." >> BUS CRASH Bluffton coach released from hospital ASSOCIATED PRESS ATLANTA — A college baseball coach injured in a bus crash that killed five of his players and injured 28 was released from the hospital Thursday, and said the hardest part was not being able to be with his close knit team to help them grieve. "It's hard not to be there as their coach," James Grandey said outside the hospital. "I want to help them through the process." Grandey, the baseball coach at Bluffton University in Ohio, was injured along with 28 players in the March 2 crash on Interstate 75 in Atlanta. Five players, and the bus driver and his wife, were killed. Grandey, who suffered multiple broken facial bones, said that God brings only situations that people can handle. "I wonder why I survived ... I don't know. God has a reason," said Grandey, 29, dark bruises under his eyes and his jaw still partially wired shut. "There's a reason for those that didn't survive as well." Grandey added, "In some way we'll have to find a way to turn this into a positive." "I wonder why I survived ... I don't know. God has a reason. There's a reason for those that didn't survive as well." We'll never know that answer until we ourselves pass away! JAMES GRANDEY Coach Grandey, who sat in the front seat of the bus, said he remembers nothing of the crash. "The last thing I remember is turning the DVD player off and laying down to go to sleep." he said. "The next thinn Investigators said the bus driver apparently mistook the ramp for a regular highway lane, traveling up it at "highway speeds." The bus than crashed into a concrete barrier at a T-intersection at the top of the ramp, flipped off the overpass and fell 30 feet back onto the interstate. I know I'm sitting in the median, trying to figure out how we fell" Tim Berta, a student coach and senior from Ida, Mich., remained in critical condition Thursday at Grady Memorial Hospital, said spokeswoman Denise Simpson. Berta is the only player to remain hospitalized from the crash. On Wednesday, state road workers began adding safety features, such as signs and reflective stripes, to several commuter lane exits along the interstate in Atlanta, including several underpasses. the one involved in the bus crash.

ASSOCIATED PRESS It also praised the college for "a new attitude" created among its personnel that compliance with National Junior College Athletic Association regulations was a shared responsibility by various departments. "We think we are a better college for it. We think we have processes in place and a renewed commitment to carry out our responsibilities," said BCCC President Carl R. Heilman. The compliance review was done by an outside firm. The Compliance Group, hired by the college. It concluded the college had implemented significant changes in its policies and procedures during the past year. "We are committed to comprehensive measures so what happened never happens again." "By doing this we are a better college for it, and our students will be better for it." The charges, which varied among the defendants, included embezzlement, theft and mail fraud in a long-running scheme to use a federal work-study program and campus jobs to get around a conference ban on giving athletes full scholarships. Student athletes were paid for work they did not do, and the CARL R. HEILMAN BCCC President A federal investigation involving financial aid and academic fraud in the athletics department led to the convictions of the athletic director and seven coaches and to the firing of the college's president. Most of the cases were settled last year. College officials hope the compliance report will boost their chances that the sanctions — which come up for review in April — will end at the end of the academic year. scheme also involved falsifying academic records so that athletes at BCCC and other universities were eligible to play. Heilman, who took over the presidency of the college eight months ago, said the actions of a few people cast "a dark shadow" over the entire institution. In August, all athletic programs at the college except for men's basketball were put on one-year probation by the NJCAA and the Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference. The men's basketball program already had completed the maximum two-year probation. A m o n g changes the college has implemented since the scandal broke are new rules prohibiting coaches from supervising work-study students. A new time clock system has been installed requiring students to log onto a work-study Web site when they begin and end their jobs. Others spot check work sites where athletes are to be working, while the Human Resources Department compares class schedules with hours logged in for those work-study hours. "I don't know if it will ever be put behind us," Heilman said of the scandal. "We are committed to comprehensive measures so what happened never happens again."

During his show, "The Colbert Report," he picked his One pundit's prediction: Final Four, which included Texas and Texas A&M, because President Bush is from Texas, Notre Dame, because the Fighting Irish have Jesus on their side.

(AP) — Louisville did just fine in its old Kentucky home. Stanford seemed all too eager to flee back to the West Coast. Playing at Rupp Arena — home to archrival Kentucky — Louisville got 16 points from both Edgar Sosa and David Padgett. Sixth-seeded Louisville bolted to a 41-13 lead in front of a highly partisan crowd. Earl Clark and Derrick Character each had 12 points for Louisville (24-9), which was playing less than 80 miles from its campus. Brook Lopez led 11th-seeded Stanford (18-13) with 18 points. The Cardinals will meet Texas A&M in the second round. TEXAS A&M 68, PENN 52 LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) _ Acie Law scored 20 points and the third-seeded Aggies got two key dunks from Joseph Jones and a game-clinching 3-pointer from Dominique Kirk to advance past upset minded Penn. Jones tied the game at 39 with a thundering dunk at the 11-minute mark, then added another dunk less than a minute later to give Texas A&M (26-6) the lead for good. Penn opened the second half with a 21-6 run. Ibrahim Jaaber had a three-point play to tie the game at 37, then made a short jumper to give Penn its first and only lead. Mark Zoller had 19 points for the Quakers (22-9). East Regional GEORGETOWN 80 BELMONT 55 WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) — Jessie Sapp scored a career-high 20 points and Jeff Green added 15 to help second-seeded Georgetown get the win. Sapp made a career-high four 3-pointers for the Hoyas (27-6), who advanced to the second round for the second straight year and will renew a one-time Big East rivalry Saturday when they face seventh-seeded Boston College. Roy Hibbert added 10 points and 13 rebounds for Georgetown, which won its 16th in 17 games by snapping Belmont's seven-game winning streak and dealing the Bruins their second straight lopsided loss in the tournament. Andrew Preston had 14 points for Belmont (23-10). BOSTON COLLEGE 84 TEXAS TECH 75 WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) — Sean Marshall scored 21 points and Boston College rallied to knock Bob Knight and Texas Tech out of the NCAA tournament. Marshall had 15 points in the second half. Tyrese Rice added 26 points for the sevent-seeded Eagles (21-11). Jared Dudley had 19 points, helping BC win its tournament opener for the fourth straight season. Martin Zeno scored 21 points for the Red Raiders (21-13). The loss ended a season of highs and lows for Texas Tech, which had beaten Kansas and Texas A&M this year but also had some puzzling losses along the way. The Red Raiders made Knight the winningest coach in Division I men's history in January, but also had a five-game losing streak later that month that put their tournament hopes in jeopardy. WASHINGTON STATE 70, ORAL ROBERTS 54 SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Kyle Weaver stole an inbounds pass beneath his own basket and dunked to barely beat the halftime buzzer — and what a momentum swing for Washington State. Reserve Ivory Clark scored 19 points and Weaver had 10 points, eight rebounds and four assists, and third-seeded Washington State (26-7) won its first NCAA game in 24 years. The Cougars will play the winner of George Washington-Vanderbilt in the second round. Ken Tutt scored 10 of his 19 points in the first half for Oral Roberts (23-11). Midwest Regional MARYLAND 82 DAVIDSON 70 BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) - D.J. Strawberry waited three years to get Maryland back into the NCAA tourn- ment. His patience paid off. Strawberry, son of former major league slugger Darryl, had 12 points and Mike Jones scored 17 to help the Terrapins hang on for an 82-70 win over Davidson on Thursday. Reserve forward Bambale Osby added 11 points and played a key role in sparking an 11-4 run that put the Terps ahead 69-63 with 7:27 remaining. It came as no surprise that Curry and Strawberry were dominant for their teams — both are sons of famous athletes. Curry's father is Dell Curry, the former NBA 3-point shooter expert. Maryland will face No. 5 seed Butler on Saturday, with the winner advancing to St. Louis. Maryland (25-8) overcame an eight-point second-half deficit and outscoored the Wildcats 24-11 over the final 10 minutes to advance to the second round for the 20th time in school history. Freshman guard Stephen Curry scored 30 points for Davidson (29-5) before fouling out with 21 seconds left. Campbell hit three 3-pointers, his only baskets of the game, to spark a 17-0 run and help the Bulldogs get the win in the first round. Fifth-seeded Butler (28-6), tournament-tested with six tournaments in 11 years, set a school record for victories in a season. Brandon Johnson scored 11 points for Old Dominion (24-9), which had won 12 of 13 games. BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) _ When Butler needed a spark, Pete Campbell delivered. A. J. Graves led Butler with 18 points. BUTLER 57, OLD DOMINION 46 》 MARCH MADNESS BY JIM O'CONNELL ASSOCIATED PRESS Associated Press Tournament opens to fanfare That matched the total for the entire first round last year and was double the total for the first two days of the 2005 tournament. Associated Press — The lack of offense on the first day of the NCAA tournament was downright offensive as four losing teams failed to break the 50-point mark. Marquette, George Washington, Weber State and Old Dominion all failed to hit half-a hundred in losing by average of 21 points. All four of the teams came into the tournament averaging between 72 and 70 points. Only Virginia Commonwealth's victory over Duke and Xavier's win over Brigham Young, both by the score 79-77, were decided by less than nine points. Vanderbilt's 77-44 win over George Washington was the biggest of the blowouts. Young blood It definitely wasn't a day of nail-biters. Freshmen have been in the headlines all season, so it made sense PA that one of them came up with the first big performance of the NCAA tournament. Stephen Curry of Davidson had 30 points in the Wildcats' 82-70 first-round loss to Maryland. Second only to Kevin Durant of Texas among the nation's freshmen in scoring, Curry kept 13th-seeded Davidson in the game until the final minutes. Durant, who plays Friday night against New Mexico State, averaged 25.6 points this season, while Curry, the son of former NBA guard Dell Curry, averaged 21.2. They were the only freshmen among the top 30 scorers in the country. Free throws The 6-foot-1 Curry was 9-for-21 from the field and 7-for-7 from the free throw line. Duke's 79-77 loss to Virginia Commonwealth, the Blue Devils' first in the first round since 1996, featured an uncharacteristic performance at the free throw line. "He's for real," Maryland coach Gary Williams said. "I told him after the game, 'You could play anywhere." Duke, which entered the game shooting 69.2 percent at the line, went 20-for-32 (62.5 percent) against the Rams. Sophomore point guard Greg Paulus, who finished with 25 points, went 6-for-11. He entered the game shooting 78.6 percent at the line. The Blue Devils, who end the season with four straight losses, had reached the round of 16 the last nine years, the longest current streak. Sour streak Penn's 68-52 loss to Texas A&M was the Quakers' ninth straight in the NCAA tournament, a streak that dates to a second-round loss to Florida in 1994. The longest streak is held by Murray State at 11 in a row, from a second-round loss to Kansas in 1988 through last season. North Carolina A&T has also lost nine straight (1982-1995) and Holy Cross, which plays Southern Illinois on Friday, has dropped eight straight from a regional final loss to LSU in 1953 to 2003. . --- STELLAR PITCHERS Sophomore pitcher Valerie George led the softball team to a 2-0 victory against Oklahoma State Sunday.

"I really felt like this was our year." An impressive 14 game winning streak ended at the door to the Final Four. a door Self has never opened. SAN JOSE, Calif. — It happens almost every year, but it still has that same devastating feeling. Kansas lost to an experienced UCLA team that played in front of a home-state crowd. Had the Bruins not lost a week before the tournament, the seeds would have been reversed, and No. 1 UCLA would have defeated No. 2 Kansas. In the locker room afterward, the players hung their heads and tried to make sense of what had just happened. There was no anger in the room, just a silent disbelief. This wasn't the year. Still, they pointed to the positive things that happened, including the Big 12 Conference regular-season title and the postseason championship. It wasn't a bad NCAA tournament, either. "It was very special just to get over that first-round hump and then come to the Elite Eight," sophomore guard Brandon Rush said. "We had two championships, so it was a pretty decent season for us." The season ended with two weeks at the NCAA tournament, which included visits to Chicago and San Jose.

Jo odd news WATERVILLE, Maine — There's a mouse in Bill Erner's house that he says he has captured three times. Each time, the mouse escaped, and the last time the rodent ran off with his lower dentures. Exner, 68, said he and his wife, Shirley, scoured his bedroom after the dentures disappeared from his night stand. They found a small opening in a wall where they suspected the mouse was coming and going, and their daughter's fiance, Eric Holt, stepped in to help. They retrieved the dentures from the opening.

SCHMIDT ResNet, the university of Kansas' Internet provider, is considering possible changes in its services to alleviate high congestion during peak hours to relieve stress on connection speeds. A press release on the ResNet Web site said three steps were being considered or taken to alleviate the congestion. First, "serious abusers" of bandwidth are being warned to decrease their usage or have their accounts deactivated. Second, band-width has been added during evening hours and may come with an additional fee in Fall 2007. Third, the network is discussing a switch to a "rate limiting" or "usage-based billing" similar to that of Lawrence's primary Internet provider, Sunflower Broadband. Allison Rose-Lopez, public relations and marketing manager for KU Information Services, said discussions were in the early stages and that nothing was set for an inevitable change. The University purchases $1 million of bandwidth annually, an amount that Rose-Lopez said was a result of the University's standing as a research institute. Because of the amount of networking and research that occurs at the University, she said students were lucky to have the existing large amounts of band-width, but that abuse had become a problem. "How would you feel if you paid your long distance bill, but the service was open to others? That's essentially what were dealing with," Rose-Lopez said. For those not familiar with bandwidth or the way it operates, Rose- Lopez said it could be viewed as a set of pipes with water — or shared files — flowing through it. The more usage the bandwidth was forced to handle, the slower the flow would be. "Only so much is going to get through at a given time." Rose-Lopez said. "When we're trying to cycle so many files through, that's when we suffer from slow-down time." Jacob Ramsey, Marion sophmore, lives in Hashinger Hall and said he noticed a lag in the network, usually in the hours between 5 and 9 p.m. Ramsey said he played video games online and occasionally used file sharing. "I'll be playing and notice it jumps up to stupid amounts." Ramsey said. "I don't really avoid using the Internet, but I've noticed it." Ramsey would be classified by ResNet as an average user based on his bandwidth usage. The network keeps a monthly list of its highest bandwidth users. The list usually contains no more than 15 users who are consistently responsible for slowdowns on the network. Rose-Lopez said the most common abusive users weren't those who did a large amount of file sharing, but those who left their computers on 24 hours a day, allowing hackers to download. "This isn't an issue of everyone jumping on and downloading too much," Rose-Lopez said. "It's a few trouble spots among thousands of users." Kansan staff writer Erick R.

Several local religion organizations sponsored his trip to Washington, DC, to participate in peace marches. BY TYLER HARBERT CONTRIBUTED PHOTO Jon Dennis didn't get arrested during spring break for indecent exposure or public intoxication. The Hutchinson senior was taken to a Washington, D.C., police station for praying in front of the White House during the Christian Peace Witness for Iraq march on March 16 during the four-year anniversary of the Iraq War. Before the march, participants sat in on any of 14 different workshops at various churches in Washington, DC., which dealt with the interface of peace, faith and civil disobedience. Some demonstrators used that training later that night when they were arrested for stopping and praying in front of the White House. After the workshops and a nondenominational church service, an estimated 3,000 people held lights that resembled candles, marched and sang while they walked from the National Cathedral to the White House. Some stopped to pray in front of the building while others circled it. The first 100 people who stopped to pray in front of the White House were arrested for failing to comply with an officer for refusing to keep moving. The remaining 122 people who stopped, including Dennis, were arrested for crossing a police barrier. Dennis said there was a lot of cooperation between the protest organizers and the police and that the route to the White House was blocked off for the march. All 222 arrested people had their hands zip-tied with plastic bands and had their mug shots taken in front of buses that transported them to a local police department. They were given $100 tickets that had to be paid in person at a Washington, D.C., police department within 15 days. Drizzling rain and brisk winds made the march uncomfortable for the protestors, Sonia Marcinkowski, Blue Springs, Mo., junior, also marched but decided the weather was too unpleasant to wait around. "I didn't want to lose my toes," she said. The next day, March 17, Dennis took part in a larger anti-war march from the Vietnam Veterans Memorial to the Pentagon. He said that the protestors in that march were more hostile than in Friday's march. "It wasn't as moving and it was really negative," he said. Dennis received sponsorship from the Oread Friends Meeting, a Quaker religious organization, as well as some help from the Ecumenical Christian Ministries. Dennis, Marcinkowski and Beth Ruhl.

A crowd of about 75 gathered Sunday morning at 4 a.m. in front of Allen Hallfisher to meet the team and show their support. Roller coaster of emotions Viewers crowd bars Saturday night to cheer on Kansas BY ASHER FUSCO The Kansas Jawhaws may have been playing nearly 2,000 miles away, but on Saturday evening, bars and restaurants in Lawrence held the same intensity as Allen Fieldhouse radiates during a home game. Though the throngs of fans that packed sports bars and restaurants headed home headed home disappointed, for almost two hours the town stood at attention and watched Kansas take on UCLA. Finding an empty seat from which to view Saturday night's regional championship game proved nearly as difficult as squeezing into the student section at the fieldhouse. As early as 4:30 p.m., many sports bars, including Zig and Mac's Sports Bar and Grill, 1540 Wakarusa Drive Suite L, JB Stout's Bar and Grill, 721 Wakarusa Drive Suite 100, and 23rd Street Brewery, 3512 Clinton Parkway, were filled to capacity. The scene at Bigg's Barbeque, 2429 S. Iowa, was no different. "This is the most people I've seen here for any game," said Joe Preiner, Bigg's waiter and Apple Valley, Minn., sophomore. "We had people show up two hours ahead of time. It's even more crowded than during Thursday's game." "This is the most people I've seen here for any game. We had people show up two hours ahead of time." The fans at Biggs's rode a roller coaster of emotions throughout the game as the Jayhawks fell behind the Bruins. During the first half, fans stood and loudly cheered after each JOE PREINER Bigg's waite Kansas steal. However, when UCLA started to pull away late in the first half, the Kansas supporters became less vocal. As the final minutes ticked off the clock and Kansas tried to crawl back into the game, most fans already felt the Jayhawks' tournament run had come to an end. A few patrons headed for the exits early, but most sat in a state of mournful silence. One fan cheered the team's effort with applaure and the statement, "There's nothing wrong with a trip to the Elite Fight." Massachusetts Street was similarly reserved after the game. People milled around outside bars and waited in line at ice cream parlors, but there was no revelry to be found. Although people around town felt more than a little deflated on Saturday night, early Sunday morning was a different story. About 75 die hard fans awaited the team's 4 am. return to Allen Fieldhouse. When the team arrived and stepped off the bus, the crowd cheered and held up signs that read "Thank you Jayhawks." Shari Stimetz, a 1971 Kansas graduate who has greeted the team every year for the past 25 years, said she felt her unconditional loyalty was the least she could give the players in what she described as an "incredible year." After all, it's not the end of the world for the Jayhawk faithful; the 2008 NCAA Tournament is only about 350 days away. If the solidarity shown by Stimetz and the other early-birds present at the fieldhouse on Sunday is any indication, the team's failure to reach the Final Four will have little effect on the psyche of Kansas fans. Kansan sportswriter Asher Fusco can be contacted at afusco@kansan.com Edited by Katie Sullivan TOURNAMENT (CONTINUED FROM 1A) ries in either city. It was the ultimate no-call. To prepare the team for a physical weekend in San Jose, the Kansas backups were allowed to do whatever they wanted during practice. No whistles were blown; no fouls were called. "Basically, they just get a free pass to whack at you all day," freshman guard Sherron Collins said. "You get hit in the face or scratched in the arms." The red team, as the backup players are called, was allowed to do that to simulate Southern Illinois' punishing defense. Self wanted to make sure his players were ready for a physical game and wouldn't complain to the officials if they get bumped on a play. The starters were unanimous in their assessment of who the best fouler was: sophomore guard Brennan Bechard. to escape with a victory in the Sweet Sixteen game. And nobody complained about it being too violent. After all, the Jayhawks had it much worse during practice. Take freshman guard Brady Morningstar, for instance. When asked what his fouling strategy was, he laughed. "They get us frustrated, but that's a good thing, because it means we're going to be prepared," sophomore forward Julian Wright said. "You can't really be mad, because they're trying to help." Bechard attributes his success to his ability to get under the players and swat at them from a position low to the ground. He's not shy about enjoying it, either. "He just grabs you," sophomore guard Mario Chalmers said. "That's all he does is grab, grab, grab. He does it almost every play." The layhawks used the strategy during practices at Bellarmine College Preparatory School in San Jose. They didn't have much time to prepare, because most of Tuesday was taken up by the flight out. On Wednesday, Self let the backups swing away one last time before the games. "Basically, they just get a free pass to whack at you all day. You get hit in the face or scratched in the arms." SHERRON COLLINS Freshman guard "Oh, it's definitely fun when the coaches say to foul them," he said. "I just slap at them a little bit, try to not let them go where they want to go." On the other side of the ball is the blue team, the top players, who don't necessarily enjoy being poked at for an hour. Not all the backups had fun foulung, though. Junior guard Jeremy Case followed directions, but reluctantly. "I really don't like playing like that," he said. "I'll foul them a little bit, I guess." He said that the players take it well, for the most part. Collins used to get feisty when the players would grab him, but he's become used to it during the season and said that doesn't happen anymore. Saturday was the final game as a Jayhawk for assistant coach Tim Jankovich. He will be leaving to take the head coaching position at --- While the Southern Illinois defense did cause Kansas some problems, the Jayhawks were able "I'm just trying to break as many bones as I can," he joked. "They get tougher that way." Illinois State. "I absolutely love this team," he said. "I'm leaving here, on one hand, with a great deal of excitement, but also so much sadness because I love coach Self, and I love this team." Jankovich was originally an assistant with Self at Illinois. His job will be filled by former Jayhawk great Danny Manning, who has been a part of the staff for the past four seasons. Manning's job will not be filled. Self said that Manning had been anticipating this for some time, but didn't want to take the job four years ago because he wanted to spend some time at home after a long NBA career. His duties will now take him on the road as one of the lajhwacks' recruiters. --his tickets, turned off his phone and tried not to look into the stands at any point during warm-ups. While in Chicago, Collins was not an easy man to track down. Playing less than a mile from where he grew up, the freshman guard made an extra effort to unapproachable so he could keep his focus on the game. He put his uncle in charge of distributing Rover,' and it had some rims in it," Collins said. "But then we saw in the rims it said M.J., so everybody started taking pictures of it." "It was crazy, because at first we were just like, 'Look at the Range' The ride belonged to Michael Jordan, the NBA legend, who had his initials spelled out in diamonds on all four of the rims. The Kentucky victory came on his birthday, but after the game he had something on his mind other than basketball. In the parking lot, the team bus parked next to a Range Rover. "I'm not going to lie. I was definitely nervous," he said. He was on hand as a scout, and saw each of the hometown players light up the scoreboard. Wright had his strong game on Sunday, shaking off some jitters he felt on Friday. He may not have seen the people he knows, but they all saw him. Collins had a strong weekend as Kansas defeated Niagara 107-67 and Kentucky 88-76. Those early miscues didn't mean much, though, in an uneventful first-round blow out. "He wins most of the games," Collins said. "But I did beat him once." "The thing I'll take away from it is that we had a bunch of talented kids that sacrificed for the good of the program." When the Jayhawks returned from Chicago victorious on Sunday night, Collins said he would celebrate his birthday at the bowling alley with Wright. On the court, the two fight for scoring supremacy, but at the Jaybowl it's a little more lopsided. --they were still playing. "The thing I'll take away from it is that we had a bunch of talented kids that sacrificed for the good of the program," he said. "We liked sharing the ball." In a hallway underneath HP Pavilion, Self looked back at the season that had just ended. But it didn't happen against UCLA. After the game, the Kansas players knew they were just as good of a team, but in the cruelness of March Madness that doesn't matter. For two hours on one day, the Bruns were the better team, and that's why Somebody always stepped up in the clutch for the lawhays, leading them to big victories against Florida, Southern Illinois and twice against Texas. BILL SELF Coach Chalmers said that this loss hurt more than exiting in the first round because the title was within sight. For the 2006-07 Jayhawks, the shots fell most of the time, resulting in 33 victories, two short of the school record. Those two were ones that the players badly wanted. "It was just one of those days where things weren't going right." Rush said. "One day the shots are all falling, and the next day they're not."

Meanwhile, the Senate's No. 2 Republican leader harshly criticized House Democrats for setting an "artificial date" for withdrawing troops from Iraq and said he believes Republicans have enough votes to prevent passage of a similar bill in the Senate. "We need to put that kind of decision in the hands of our commanders who are there on the ground with the men and women," said Sen. Trent Lott (R-Miss.) "For Congress to impose an artificial date of any kind is totally irresponsible." GOP Sen. Chuck Hagel of Nebraska, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and a frequent critic of the war, stopped short of calling for Bush's impeachment. But he made clear that some lawmakers viewed that as an option should Bush choose to push ahead despite public sentiment against the war. "Any president who says, I don't care, or I will not respond to what the people of this country are saying about Iraq or anything else, or I don't care what the Congress does, I am going to proceed — if a president really believes that, then there are — what I was pointing out, there are ways to deal with that," said Hagel. who is considering a 2008 presidential run. The White House had no immediate reaction to Hagel's comments. The Senate planned to begin debate Monday on a war spending bill that would set a nonbinding goal of March 31,2008, for the removal of combat troops. That comes after the House narrowly passed a bill Friday that would pay for wars in Iraq and Afghanistan this year but would require that combat troops come home from Iraq before September 2008 — or earlier if the Iraqi government did not meet certain requirements. On Sunday, Hagel said he was bothered by Bush's apparent disregard of congressional sentiment on Iraq. He said lawmakers now stood ready to stand up to the president when necessary. In his weekly address Saturday, Bush accused Democrats of partisanship in the House vote and said it would cut the number of troops below a level that U.S. military commanders say they need. Vice President Dick Cheney also accused Democrats of undermining U.S. troops in Iraq and of sending a message to terrorists that America will retreat in the face danger. "We have clearly a situation where the president has lost the confidence of the American people in his war effort," Hagel said. "It is now time, going into the fifth year of that effort, for the Congress to step forward and be part of setting some boundaries and some conditions as to our involvement." Need to vent? tell us about it "This is not a monarchy," he added, referring to the possibility that some lawmakers may seek impeachment. "There are ways to deal with it. And I would hope the president understands that." Lott said setting withdrawal dates was a futile and potentially dangerous exercise because Bush has made clear he will veto any such legislation. "There are members in the Senate in both parties that are not comfortable with how things have gone in Iraq" Lott said. "But they understand that artificial timetables, even as goals, are a problem. We will try to take out the arbitrary dates." Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) said the Senate bill seeks to heed the recommendations of the bipartisan Iraq Study Group by setting a goal of withdrawing some troops while leaving others behind to train the Iraqi army for border patrol and other missions.

Tickets cost around $8. There's the requisite popcorn, which is chemically altered to induce thirst and requires the purchase of a soda. If paying for a date, double the cost. With rising prices of movie-going, students would do well to recognize the entertainment value of the news. Contrary to popular belief, radio and televised news is not only a droning source of education but, in fact, a goldmine of entertainment. Like comedy? News has got plenty of juvenile humor. Recently, for example, Israel's former Ambassador to El Salvador was found drunk, bound and naked with sex toys in his own backyard. After being aided by the police he was promptly released from his position by Israeli authorities. In Germany, a farmer is suing two youngsters for ruining his prized male ostrich's sex drive and thus preventing the farmer from having highly profitable baby ostriches. The farmer claims that the boys, who allegedly threw firecrackers at the ostrich, psychologically damaged the bird, which was unable to perform sexually for six months after the attacks. Attuned to war films? News is overflowing with battles. For a lesser-known piece of violent entertainment, keep updated on elephant rebellions in India. Over the last several years, misbehaved mammoths with an affinity for local communities' freshly-brewed rice wine have trampled dozens of villagers during booze raids. In 2004, a troop of 20 or more elephants raided a village, scared off the inhabitants, and wreaked havoc after getting wasted. Their plan went awry when four were killed in a spontaneous attempt to take down an electric fence. Of course, the news has no shortage of international spy and intrigue. Mystery abounds in Russia, where former KGB agent Alexander Litvinenko was poisoned to death late last year after accusing the government of murder. Not so ironically, since President Vladimir Putin came to office in 2000, numerous persons with anti-Putin beliefs have been murdered in manners that eerily resemble ex-spy techniques. The news even provides a joyous story or two for the helpless romantics. If there isn't an anecdote about a zoo's brand new adorable baby animal or about Angelina's international adoptions, there's a sketch on a celebrity couples' blissful whirlwind romance. No, they're not permanent, but neither are movie stars' enchanted relationships in the expensive films we see. For those watching the bank account, entertainment from home can save a lot of money. Surfing BBC News, watching CNN and reading The New York Times can easily be done solo. In the event of a passionate distraction, these forms of entertainment can be freely revisited. Junk food can be bought cheaply for those who have to have it. Hey, one might even learn something worthwhile. KNOW YOUR NEWS SOURCE! ARE THESE HEADLINES FROM THE NATIONAL ENQUIRER? OR CNN.com?

(MAR, 5, 2007) GRS Grant Snider/KANSAN Focus of media needs to change >> DECONSTRUCTING MEDIA M. KARLINA BROWN BY JODI ANN HOLOPIREK KANSAN COLUMNIST OPINION@KANSAN.COM Entertainment media audiences are restless. They're tired of seeing the same, tiresome coverage on TV. They're tired of hearing about the same over-publicized. attention-craving, self-obsessed celebrities. The latest focus of entertainment media's attention is Britney Spears. Instead of exploiting her redneck personality, shows are parading her rash decisions (a shaved head) and ever increasing craziness (confirmed by her constant checking in and out of rehab facilities). Does her shaved head really warrant that much airtime? The press loved her when she achieved her first hit single and carried a squeaky clean image to boot. Now that they've driven her to lavish partying and scandalous clothing choices, they want to grind her up and splatter her on every broadcast they air, all while shaking their heads in disapproval. Here's a hint: Britney is not that important to us. Drop it and move on. Over-publicized celebrity No. 2 is Anna Nicole Smith. The woman was well-known and died an unexpected death, so yes, her death deserved to be covered by the press. But the relentless coverage has gone on for more than a month now. Moving on to must-be-covered celebrity No. 3, Paris Hilton. On Feb. 13, The Associated Press chose to institute a ban on coverage of Paris Hilton. She's dead. It's time to let her rest in peace. The public is begging you to do so. There were more than a few hip-hip hooray's yelled out in the newsroom when staff members heard about this. However, a week later, people were disappointed to — Alison Kieler for the editorial board. discover that the ban was only an experiment to see how others would react, and The AP soon resumed coverage of her. Letters were sent in, and while some cheered, others worried about the line the news service was crossing. But it did bring up a good point. Media do control the news we hear. They search it out, sometimes going so far as to rent helicopters to see celebrities sunbathing toopless behind fenced-in properties. Instead of Paris Hilton getting a DUI, why not cover the work Ashley Judd does for YouthAIDS as its global ambassador? Or why not cover the work Scarlett Johansson, Parker Posey and Don Cheadle do for Soles4Souls, a charity that requests people to donate shoes and money to benefit the displaced people of Sudan? Or the work Richard Gere does for the International Campaign For Tibet? Countless celebrities exist and they are doing countless acts of goodwill. Yet these acts rarely get covered. A change needs to happen in the media. With restless viewers showing more and more irritation at the unending coverage of trivial events, what do entertainment shows have to lose?

It's difficult to be polite when someone is completely disrespectful, and it shouldn't be expected. Just because someone gets paid to be polite, it doesn't mean that a customer can treat that person however he or she wants and expect to continue to get excellent service. Apparently, some people feel the need to take out their frustrations, say the food not being as good as they hoped, on the messenger — or server. COMMENTARY Show more courtesy to service employees "Hello, can I help you?" "Yeah. You got a husband?" "Uh... no." "Well, what am I going to?" "Well, you want one?" Not exactly the proposal of my dreams, especially since it came from a complete stranger. That's just one example of awkward impoliteness I've experienced while working at the Lawrence Public Library. Some people make small faux pas: putting their bag of books on the counter without bothering to take them out or putting their library card in their mouth before handing it over covered in drool. Other people are just plain rude: demanding to be told where a movie is or getting into a screaming battle over a 10 cent line — and yes, that has happened more than once. Some customers mistake required politeness as flirtatious advances, like my aforementioned potential fiancé. A waitress divulged a "smooth move" of many customers: scrawling their number across the bottom of their credit card receipt, sometimes even when they're on a date with another girl. People working in all service BY CASSIE GENTRY BY CASSIE GLENNIST KANSAN COLUMNIST OPINION@KANSAN.COM I understand that being in a customer service industry means that your job is basically to serve people. That doesn't mean that you have to be treated with disrespect. If I am expected by my customers to be polite, they should treat me with the same courtesy. It seems that some people take the idiom "The There are plenty of people who are extremely polite and respectful when dealing with customer service personnel. Unfortunately, there are an equal amount of people who don't think twice about being blatantly rude.

"The Security Council has to be aware of its own position and status. Actions that are illegal, unwarranted and unjustified will reduce the credibility of the Security Council," he said in Persian through a translator. >> NUCLEAR TENSIONS ASSOCIATED PRESS Iran suspends talks with U.N. He said Iran has repeatedly sought negotiations with the powers that drafted the resolution against the Islamic republic: the five permanent council members Gholam Hossein Elham, a government spokesman, told state television that the suspension would "continue until Iran's nuclear case is referred back to the IAEA from the U.N Security Council." TEHRAN. Iran Iran announced Sunday that it was partially suspending cooperation with the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency, citing the "illegal and bullying" U.N. Security Council sanctions imposed on the country for its refusal to stop enriching uranium. "If this political will exist, the other side wouldn't have imposed preconditions on the talks," Mottaki said, referring to demands by the U.S. and its allies that Iran first halt enrichment before they engage in negotiations on its nuclear program. He said the world has two options to proceed on the nuclear issue: continued negotiations or confrontation. "Choosing the path of confrontation will have its own consequences," he said without elaborating. Ellham said the Iranian Cabinet decided Sunday to suspend "code 1-3 of minor arrangements of the safeguards" with the International Atomic Energy Agency. Under Iran's Safeguards Agreements with the IAEA, part of its commitments under the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, the country is obligated to inform the agency six months before it introduces nuclear material of any kind into any facility. — the U.S., Britain, France, Russia and China — and Germany.

Amanda Sellers/KANSAN Failed offense proves defense does not always win games BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS SAN JOSE, Calif. — The layhawks might have had more luck with a carnival game than they did against the UCLA Bruins on Saturday. Kansas missed several layups and tip-ins on its way to a 68-55 loss that left the players baffled at how something so easy became so hard. "The rim wasn't friendly for us," sophomore guard Brandon Rush said. "It was just one of those days where things weren't going right." Meanwhile, the home-state Bruins seemed to be playing with an oversized hoop. When Kansas made a late run with less than five minutes remaining in the game, guard Darren Collison hit a long three-pointer as the shot clock expired to seal the victory. "We played very good defense", sophomore guard Mario Chalmers said. "Tonight, the hoop was as big as the ocean for them." Instead of slowing things down, the Bruins decided to run with the Jayhawks.

His 24 points led the Bruins to a 68-55 victory, but just as important was his ability to find open teammates in key situations. Twice, with the ball in Affalos hand and the shot clock running down, he made the right play and killed a Kansas rally.

Holding the ball at Instead of trying to get past Rush for the points, he passed the ball to forward Josh Shipp, who made a wide-open shot. the top of the arc, Affalo engaged in a one-on-one match-up with Rush "When they hit that three at the half, the crowd got behind them, and they got the momentum after that," freshman forward Darrell Arthur said.

None of the Kansas players admitted to feeling nervous, but they handled the pace by playing too fast, rushing shots and hurrying into plays that didn't exist. "I think we got impatient and tried to score too fast," coach Bill Self said. "If we had shot the ball well, we could have scored quite a few points today." The Kansas defense kept the team in the game. Chalmers and junior guard Russell Robinson forced turnovers at a steady rate. At the end of the game, UCLA had turned the ball over a season-high 25 times. But for all their defensive success, the Jayhawks couldn't find a way to convert those turnovers into points on the offensive end. "That was frustrating, because we just weren't able to convert," sophomore forward Julian Wright said. "One person starts missing, and then the basket seems smaller and smaller, and the other team gets confidence." Going into the final timeout, UCLA held an eight-point lead with three minutes remaining.

The Bruins made it to last year's Final Four, so the challenge was nothing new for them.

In the end, the loss boiled down to one key statistic: Kansas missed 19 layups and tip-ins.

Outside of those passes, Affalp paced the UCLA offense, scoring at a steady rate and handling the ball in Kansas coach Bill Self credited him with being the best player on the court, and said that though the Jayhawk defense may have misplayed him a couple times, Affalalo's points were mostly a result of him making tough shots.

Adam Waintrain and Anthony Reyes will pitch against the Astros. Carpenter will start again in the team's first game at Houston on April 6. The success of the Cardinals starters this spring has been a bonus for La Russa, who said he had considered downsizing the number of players in the team's rotation to four. JUPITER, Fla. — Cardinals centerfielder Jim Edmonds took his biggest leap toward playing on opening day in his first spring training game Sunday in a 6-5 loss to Baltimore. "It was an easy day," Edmonds said. "Didn't have to run too much, didn't take too many bad swings." Edmonds hit second in the batting order, drawing a walk and grounding out. He was replaced in the top of the fourth inning by Skip Schumaker. 》 MLB "We don't know what to expect." St. Louis manager Tony La Russa said "You work out and you're under control.

The decision came on the heels of a freshman season in which Ballgwall saw little playing time. Coming out of St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Overland Park, Ballweg came to the University as a long-range shooting specialist. Although coach Bonnie Henrickson mentioned Ballweg's shooting accuracy at times early in the season, the 5-foot-10 Shawnee native played only eight games and 22 minutes. She shot 1-for-9 from the field in her limited action. WOMEN'S BASKETBALL Freshman guard transfers after little playing time During her four years at Bishop Kelley High School, Smith averaged 14 points and six re-bounds per game. She possesses an impressive shooting ability for a player of her size, shooting 34 percent from three-point range and 79 percent from the free-throw line. After a season in which Kansas was often plagued by a lack of high quality post play, Henrickson has attempted to shore up the weakness with the addition of Smith and 6-foot-3 Krysten Boogaard. Despite the loss of Ballweg and senior guards Sharita Smith and Shaquia Mosley, the Kansas backcourt will be crowded next season. Kelly Kohn and Sade Morris enjoyed promising freshman campaigns and Ivana Catic enters her junior season as the team's most capable point guard. Kansas obtains second verbal commitment Nicoletta Smith, a 6-foot-2 forward from Tulsa, Okla., chose Kansas against Missouri and Middle Tennessee State. Smith garnered a long list of honors during her high school career, including a nomination to the McDonald's All-American team and recognition as the top player in Oklahoma's Class 5A. Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson continued to address her team's depth problems, acquiring her second verbal commitment last week. BAS — Asher Fusco GRADUATING?

After an outstanding indoor season, junior Ashley Brown continued her success by winning first place and setting a Kansas record time of 13.31 seconds in the 100-meter hurdles. Brown also ran a career-best time of 59.03 seconds in the 400-meter hurdles. Both times are regional qualifying marks. Junior Hugh Murphy, a transfer from Brown University, performed well in his Jayhawk debut Saturday. throwing 215-10 feet in the javelin, finishing second. The distance was a regional mark and sits as the fifth longest throw in Kansas history. Several lajahaws finished well in the long jump. Junior Crystal Manning made a career-best leap of 20-06 1/2 feet to regionally qualify and win the women's event. For the men, junior Barrett Saunders and seniors Josh Kirk and Eric Babb finished first through third, respectively. Saunder's career-best distance of 24-07 3/4 feet was also a regional mark. Seniors Cody Roberts and Abby Emsick swept the discus events with a pair of regional marks. For the men, Roberts won the event with a massive throw of 181-01 feet. Emsick captured the title for the women with a distance of 168-02 ft. In the pole vault, junior Libby Harmon tied for first with a height of 11-11 3/4 feet. Kansas has this weekend off before returning to the track in Austin, Texas, for the Texas Relays on April 5 to 7.

Edited by Katie Sullivan NCAA TOURNAMENT Florida routs Oregon, makes Final Four BY NANCY ARMOUR ASSOCIATED PRESS Not yet, anyway. Inside, outside, early, late - the Gators find a way to get it done when there's a title at stake. Joakim Noah and his buddies are heading back to the Final Four, looking for a second straight national championship that was worth more to them than NBA millions. "It's so great because we were under a microscope." Noah said after Florida's 85-77 victory against third-seeded Oregon in the Midwest Regional final on Sunday afternoon. "There was so much hate. But we know that what matters is what's going on here." Lee Humphrey made seven three-pointers and finished with 23 points, and Tauerean Green added 21. Noah had 14 points and 14 rebounds. It was Florida's 16th straight postseason victory, a stretch that includes one national championship and two Southeastern Conference titles. Next stop for the top-seeded Gators; Atlanta, where they'll play UCLA in the national semifinals in a rematch of last year's championship Game. "The ultimate goal is to do it again." Chris Richard said. "We're one step away from the championship" Florida beat UCLA last year in a rout, 73-57, for its first national championship _ and the first half of what would turn out to be the Gator Slam. When Florida beat Ohio State for the national football title in January, the Gators became the first school to be champs in both sports at the same time. Now Florida (33-5) would like to win both crowns in the same calendar year. And make a little history as the first team since Duke in 1991-92 to win back-to-back basketball titles — and the first ever to do it with the same five starters. Regional and will play Georgetown on Saturday. There might even be another date with Ohio State with a title on the line. The Buckeyes won the South "It was a lot harder this year because night in and night out, we got people's best shot. We've had to adjust and it's just been really tough," Corey Brewer said. "It's been really rewarding because we've got the same five guys back and basically the same team. "We just love playing with each other, and it feels so good to get back to the Final Four." Oregon was trying to get to the Final Four for the first time since winning it all in 1939, the first year of the NCAA tournament. But the Ducks (29-8) were done in by foul trouble the entire game and by freshman Tauuan Porter going cold. "I was probably a little too hyped," Porter said. "They had pretty good shot pressure. I just wasn't hitting my shots." Porter, the 5-foot-6 guard who went off for eight three-pointers and 33 points in Friday night's regional semifinal, didn't make his first field goal until there were 40 seconds left in the game. 》 NCAA TOURNAMENT Hoyas gnaw on Tar Heels HMPT BY BEN WALKER ASSOCIATED PRESS Georgetown coach John Thompson III celebrates with his team after winning the NCAA East Regional basketball game against North Carolina 96-84 in Sunday Euttherford, N.J. EAST RUTHERFORD, Bill Kostroun/ASSOCIATED PRESS EAST RUTHERFORD N.J. — Twenty-five years later, Georgetown got even for a coach named Thompson and a player named Ewing. In an NCAA tournament full of tremendous rallies, it was the Hoyas' turn — against North Carolina, of all teams. Georgetown overcame an 11-point deficit in the second half, then ripped off 14 straight points in overtime to stun the top-seeded Tar Heels 96-84 in the East Regional final Sunday for their first trip to the Final Four since 1985, when the coach was John Thompson Jr. and the star was Patrick Ewing. The Hovas (30-6) did it this time with coach John Thompson III calling the backdoor plays he learned at Princeton and Patrick Ewing Jr. making key contributions. So this time, there would be no game-winning shot for the Tar Heels a la 1982, when freshman Michael Jordan's 17-foot jumper They were helped by an amazing collapse from Carolina (31-7), which made only one of 23 field goal attempts, including its first 12 in overtime, during a 15-minute span. The Tar Heels actually had a chance to win in regulation, but freshman Wayne Ellington missed an open jumper from the wing right before the buzzer. Ewing grabbed the rebound, prompting his pop to high-five everyone sitting near him in the stands. with 17 seconds left ended one of the most thrilling games in college basketball history and lifted Carolina past Georgetown 63-62 for the national championship. The Hoyas waited a long time to avenge that defeat. When they did, they celebrated. The Thompson became the first father-son duo to reach the Final Four, much less at the same school, and they enjoyed a huge embrace at courtside. "You've been complaining about the bus being rickety, but the ride home is going to be good tonight." Thompson the father told his son. "isn't it?" Thompson the son said. The Hoyas will play Ohio State (34-3) in the national semifinals next Saturday at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta. UCLA takes on defending champion Florida in the other game. While the Hoyas celebrated, Carolina coach Roy Williams could only sit in disbelief. Tied at 81, he watched Georgetown score the first 14 points in overtime before Ty Lawson hit a meaningless 3 in the closing seconds. The Tar Heels, the 2005 champions, had won seven straight regional finals. They seemed to be on their way this time, too, leading 69-58 with 12:22 to go. Jeff Green led Georgetown with 22 points and freshman Daluan Summers added 20. Tyler Hansbrough had 26 points and 11 rebounds for the Tor Heals. This was the fifth time that Carolina and Georgetown had played since that epic game at the New Orleans Superdome on March 29,1982.

Left fielder John Allman hit 1- for 3 during Sunday's loss. Inconsistent play hurts Kansas BY SHAWN SHROYER For the second straight weekend, Kansas entered Sunday with the opportunity for a series victory and let it slip away. After the game, Erik Morrison, junior infielder, said peaks and valleys were common place in baseball. As it turned out, Kansas series with No. 14 Oklahoma State was representative of those peaks and valleys, with valleys bordering the jayhaws' peak on Saturday. In the second game of the series, Kansas junior left-hander Zach Ashwood stared down an Oklahoma State squad that had just pounded out 14 runs on 17 hits the day before and quieted its bats. After nearly losing his spot in the weekend rotation the week before, Ashwood (3-2) solidified his role as a weekend starter against the Cowboys. He lasted six innings, striking out four and holding the Cowboys to three runs — only one of which was earned. "There's no doubt that was Zachs best start of the year," sophomore closer Paul Smyth said. "We haven't seen our starters really go as deep as wed like yet. For Zach to go out there and produce the way that he did, it hypes you up as a closer." When Ashwood excited after the sixth inning, he made way for Smyth with the score in Kansas' favor, 6-3. Given the three-run cushion, Smyth refused to surrender the lead. "Today was such a day that we needed a win that I was just going to do everything I could to try to keep that three-run lead." Smyth said. There was no doubt in coach Ritch Price's mind that Smyth was going to slam the door shut on Oklahoma State for his fifth save of the season. "That's what we needed because we had nobody else." Price said. "He clutched up big-time for us. He made a huge step forward from his freshman year to his sophomore year? Price said the bullpen has been stretched to its limit because of injuries to two key right handers. Price said junior Hiarali Garcia, who hasn't pitched since March 14, hurt his back lifting weights. Because he's been out of commission, fellow junior Andres Esquibel has had to pitch extra innings of relief. Price said Esquibel's arm was feeling "tender" and he hoped to lessen his workload until Garcia returns. Price said Garcia was scheduled to throw a bulpen session on Tuesday and could return as early as this weekend. As the seasons ramps up, things have to improve if Kansas wants consistent play.

Had coach Ritch Price been told that sophomore lefty Andy Marks would perform like he did against No. 14 Oklahoma State, he would've thought Sunday's results to turn out differently. "No doubt it was crucial — it could've got us back to 500 in league and wed be done with two of the three best teams in our league," Price said. "I actually thought Marks gave us enough to win. If you told me that he would go out there with the wind blowing out like that and hold them to six or seven runs — I probably would've took that." Although Marks (3-3) threw a career-high 10 strikeouts and just one walk in his seven-inning start, the seven runs he surrendered to the Cowboys (19-6, 2-1) were more than enough for them to seal the victory. Center fielder Keanon Simon haunted Kansas' pitching all week end, going 7-for-15 in three games. The Cowboys again scored first in the series finale. Without missing a step. Simon singled to lead off the game and scored two batters later on a RBI single by right fielder Corey Brown. The Cowboys led off with a hit for the second time in as many innings in their next at bat. First baseman Rebel Rebell doubled to lead off. A pair of singles and a four pitch walk followed to allow him and shortstop Jordy Mercer to score. Kansas (15-14, 2-4) answered its 3-0 deficit in the bottom of the sec ond. Junior shortstop Erik Morrison crushed the first pitch of his at bat over the left field wall for the Jayhawks' first run of the afternoon. "I happen to get a good swing on it and I've got a home run, but you look up there — it's one out of six hits; it's one out of three runs and they got seven runs," Morrison said. In the bottom of the fourth, freshman third baseman Robby Price led off the running with a walk. Junior left fielder Allian Alimani followed with a double past Brown in right field. With runners on second and third without an out and Morrison at the plate. Kansas sat in position to tie the game. A balk during Morrison's at bat that brought Price home was all the offense could muster. The layhawks went down in order to end any threat. "That guy was really tough on the left-handed hitters," Price said of OSU starter Andrew Oliver (5-0). "I thought we had enough opportunities for a base knock to get back in the ball game when we were down. It seemed like every time we got somebody in scoring position, he came back with a big strike out. He's a pretty good looking freshman." Oklahoma State made up for Kansas' lack of scoring by widening the gap in the following inning. Although the Jayhawk pitchers kept last season's Big 12 Conference C-Player of the Year fairly quiet, OSU second baseman Tyler Mach made plenty of noise in the series finale. "His first couple of outs he hit it up into the wind a little bit. He's obviously got a swing that hits the ball in the air," Marks said. "I tried to go in on him and left it over the plate a little bit. He'll make you pay every time." Mach went 2-for-7 in the first two games of the series. By the fifth inning of game three, Mach was due. After two leadoff hits, he used the wind and his own power to knock the three-run hit over left field. "Anytime you lose it you're going to be deflating to the club." Morrison said. "But it's not a sprint. It's a marathon. It's 62 games, you've got to stay in it the whole time. If you stay in it the whole time and battling through that adversity, good things will happen to your club. You've got to walk out of here with your head high." A leadoff double from junior pinch hitter Casey Larson's bat couldn't spark enough of a comeback in the bottom of the ninth. Although Larson found his way to the plate, it was the last run the lavwhaws would score. Kansas was practically silent from then on out.

An e-mail announcing the club's meeting that was sent out on list serve reached a wider audience than Jon Simon, Tree Climbing Club vice president, realized. When time came for the first climb of the spring on March 15, a police officer and Fred DeVictor, a Parks and Recreation representative, showed up at Veteran's Park, 19th and Louisiana streets. The Lawrence Police Department was contacted by the Lawrence Parks and Recreation, which was contacted by someone else, apparently worried about the club's meeting. The police officer ordered Simon, Lenexa sophomore, who was climbing barefoot and by then 20 feet into the tree, to immediately come down, Simon's friend, Aaron Chavers, Leawood junior, watched. Like many kids, Simon began climbing trees in his youth. Unlike most adults, however, Simon never stopped. That's why he and President Andrew Flanier started the Tree Climbing Club last fall. "Apparently cops don't want us to climb trees." Chawers said. Simon said he was planning on teaching basic beginning tree climbing moves, such as the boost, the jump and grab, the hanging vine and the rolling dismount. "We were half kidding about that, though," Simon said in regard to the rolling dismount. DeVictor said he and the police officer intervened because it was a matter of safety, as well as a liability issue. The police officer and DeVictor suggested the Tree Climbing Club hold its meetings on the KU campus instead.

But Lawrence pizza restaurants don't have it so easy. Lawrence's pizza market is crowded with restaurants vying for the affections of hungry students and other residents, making it difficult for some businesses to survive. The AT&T Yellow Pages lists 16 different restaurants under the "pizza" category in Lawrence and 13 in Topeka. This does not count multiple locations of the same chain restaurant.

As the four men left a concert at Cervantes Masterpiece Ballroom and were waiting to board the light rail, two masked men allegedly approached the group and demanded their wallets. After taking the wallets, the masked men reportedly began shooting, injuring Kuebel, Dumpert and Watt. Foster was uninjured. Two of the victims — though it was unclear which ones — reportedly ducked behind a ticket booth to avoid the gunfire. Kuebel, Dumpert and Watt were added to a list of six people shot within 48 hours, and police said they think the attacks may be related. Police called the shootings "brazen attacks" and said they all consisted of the same pattern; the masked men demanded money, the victims gave them their money and the masked men shot them anyway. No updated condition was available for any of the shooting victims, though none were listed as life-threatening. —Erick R. Schmidt & Amanda Sellers » ALTERNATIVE BREAKS Students get taste of homeless life BY TYLER HARBERT Most students would rather spend spring break on a sunny beach or in an exotic foreign country. Corey Siealff, Madison, Wis., junior, and Andy Whitehead, Leawood freshman, opted to spend their week sleeping on cardboard boxes in an abandoned bus station in downtown Washington D.C., while Jonathan Evenson, Lawrence senior, decided he wanted to clean out flooded houses in Buras, La. Living homeless for two days and volunteering in crisis areas are just a few activities offered by the Alternative Breaks program, which puts students in service-oriented positions in cities throughout the country. The Washington D.C. program, in conjunction with the National Coalition for the Homeless, allows students to travel to Washington D.C. and spend several days working in the world's largest homeless "Being homeless was boring," Stielaff said. "Really boring and cold." "The goal is to go through the daily struggle that the homeless go through." Sielaff said. Part of that struggle involves panhandling, eating at soup kitchens, finding places to sleep and for most of the time during the 48-hour excursion, killing time. shelter before getting tossed to the streets for two days. Meanwhile, Evenson and six other students packed a van to Louisiana where they spent seven days working in a community soup kitchen and cleaning flood-ravished homes. He spent seven nights sleeping in a tent outside of a gutted YMCA building. Evenson lived in Louisiana for three years, but said he hadn't been to the area since it was hit by Hurricane Katrina nearly two years ago. "It was kind of shocking to see what was destroyed and what was left," he said. "I was pretty worn on physically and emotionally." Siealff and Whitehead, along with Mitch Voth, Wichita sophomore, stayed together as a group while they were homeless in Washington D.C. A total of six students went on that trip. --- They worked with a guide, a former homeless person named David, who made sure they were safe and shared with them some of his three-year homeless experiences. Knowing he would spend two days homeless in Washington D.C., was what drew Whitehead to the Alternative Breaks program. 31N "I thought, 'Wow, that's kind of a once in a lifetime opportunity," he said. To enroll in the program, students must submit an application, attend a series of interviews, rank their desired destinations and then take a weekly Alternative Breaks course y 4.

Springtime birds chirp and a few young children swing on the monkey bars. South Park has been around since 1854, making it Lawrence's oldest park. Located on each side of Massachusetts Street near downtown, South Park is a short walk from Jayhawk Boulevard, but is far enough away to escape the hustle and bustle of a busy campus and focus on studying. SOUTH PARK South Park has a number of features that make it appealing to college students. Benches are scattered throughout the park and picnic tables allow students to sprawl out study materials. Depending on the weather, students can plop down under a shady tree or bring a blanket and study in the grass. The Roosevelt Fountain flows in the middle of the park next to a shady gazebo. The fountain was built in 1910 and President Theodore Roosevelt himself came to Lawrence for its dedication. For those necessary study breaks, visit the wading pool or flashback to childhood days on the playground. See if you can still clog the slide as well as you did in elementary school, or search for a four-leaf clover. Studying at South Park can be an all-day adventure. Bring friends and have a picnic while writing term papers or studying for tests. Take a walk around and view the scenery as you work. People watch. South Park is a quiet, off-campus area to study and there is no reason to avoid it — even if your name is Kenny.

SCHMIDT Police said all three of those arrested were patrons of Thai House and that the incident derived from a series of arguments outside the restaurant and bar. One of those arrested was a 23-year-old male who was run over by a pickup truck that was leaving Thai House. According to the Lawrence Police Department, the incident began just after 2 a.m. when an officer responded to a verbal altercation between two groups of people. While the officer was separating the groups, a group of 20 to 30 people, including the 23-year-old, surrounded the truck and banged on it. An officer said he saw the truck — which carried three individuals who were being threatened by the group — try to pull away from the restaurant, when it struck and ran over the 23-year-old. The officer ordered the driver to stop and he removed the two passengers, but the driver of the truck continued driving northbound. The truck was stopped by officers at 10th and Indiana streets, and the driver was placed under arrest. The driver told the officer that the 23-year-old who had been hit by the truck had pointed a gun at him. The original reporting officer found the hit-and-run victim in a separate vehicle with three other men. After repeatedly refusing to provide identification or answer the officer's questions, the man reached under the vehicle's seat. The officer told the man to exit the vehicle, and upon searching him, found an empty gun holster. Officers searched the vehicle and found a loaded semiautomatic .22-caliber handgun with eight rounds of ammunition. A police spokesman said the officers had faced a tense situation and that they received little assistance from the large crowd. The spokesman said the investigation was ongoing and would be sent to the district attorney's office upon completion. The 23-year-old was charged with aggravated assault and unlawful assembly. The driver of the truck and one other individual were arrested and charged with unlawful assembly. Kansan staff writer Erick R.

But he also began advertising in The University Daily Kansan about two weeks ago. Sara Rock, marketing director for Wheat State Pizza, 711 23rd St., agreed that Lawrence's pizza market is saturated. She said late-night delivery specialists such as Gumby's Pizza, 1445 23rd St., and Pizza Shuttle, 1601 23rd St., heightened the competition by offering cheap deals aimed toward students. To overcome this, Wheat State tries to introduce itself to incoming University students through marketing, Rock said. The restaurant advertises in free student planners, and it has established accounts with University residence halls so resident assistants can serve Wheat State pizza to their residents at programs. "The hope is to get students in one time at the beginning of the year, and hopefully they'll come back," she said.

But he said the restaurant also tried to set itself apart by delivering to a wide area — including rural areas of Douglas County Residents per pizza restaurant — and he said they try to attract students as well. Crockett said the smallest slip-up could be disastrous for a pizza restaurant in Lawrence. "If you serve somebody badly once, they're going to go somewhere else, and they've got about 20 other places they can go before they come back to you," he said.

The first initiative of 15 Seconds is the University's first HIV/AIDS Awareness Week, named "15 Seconds Week" in honor of the group.

In a detailed autopsy report released Monday, a medical examiner noted the former Playboy playmate refused to go to a hospital three days before her Feb. 8 death. She chose to ride out her illness in a hotel suite littered with pill bottles, soda cans, SlimFast, nicotine gum and an open box of Tamifu tablets. Broward County Medical Examiner Joshua Perper found that in the days leading up to her death, the 39-year-old Smith had been taking large amounts of the seldom prescribed sedative chloral hydrate; which also contributed to the 1962 overdose death of Smith's idol, Marilyn Monroe. Police found no apparent signs of foul play, and the medical examiner also ruled Smith's death probably was not a suicide because people who take their own lives typically use much more lethal drugs than chloride hydrate. Rather, he said, Smith might have been simply unaware that the sedative could be fatal in combination with multiple other prescriptions she was taking in normal doses for anxiety, depression and insomnia. Contributing factors included her weakened condition from a stomach flu and fever brought on by a pus-filled infection on her buttocks from repeated injection of other drugs. "She may have taken the dosages she was accustomed to but succumbed because she was already weakened." Perper said in his report. "Miss Smith has a long history of prescription drug abuse and self-medicated in the past" The recommended dose of chloral hydrate is one to two teaspoons prior to bed. Smith often took two tablespoons, and she sometimes drank directly from the bottle, the report said. A statement issued by lawyers for Howard K. Stern, Smith's companion who was with her before her death, said that Stern and Smith's physician urged her to get emergency treatment but she refused because "she did not want the media frenzy that follows her." "She refused to go to the hospital because she wanted to avoid media," said attorney Lilly Ann Sanchez in a statement. "Anna called the shots in Anna's life and everyone close to her knows that." The autopsy report left some unanswered questions such as why it took so long for emergency personnel to be summoned when Smith was discovered unresponsive on Feb. 8 in her room at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. The report found that a private nurse had asked a bodyguard to call 911 around 1 p.m. and had started CPR. The Seminole EMS was called about 1:40 p.m. by a bodyguard and arrived six minutes later. The ambulance reached the hospital at 2:43 p.m., and Smith was pronounced dead shortly thereafter. Perper said Smith could have been saved had she been hospitalized earlier in the week simply because her drug intake could have been controlled. "If she would have gone to the hospital she wouldn't have died because she wouldn't have had the opportunity to take the excessive amount of chloral hydrate," he told The Associated Press. But Perper said the lag in calling 911 on the day of Smith's death probably didn't matter. "The earlier you come to a hospital the more you have a chance, but there's not a guarantee," he said. "Those are not things with a mathematic precision, but within a reasonably degree of medical certainty. I don't think she had really a realistic chance." Perper said he believed at least three doctors had prescribed Smith drugs using a number of aliases, but all the medication was meant for her. Sanchez said the chloral hydrate was prescribed for Smith last year after Smith's 20-year-old son Daniel died in the Bahamas of apparent drug-related causes. Perpeal said Smith also had been on several antidepressant and anti-anxiety drugs and had recently been injecting herself with purported longevity medications, vitamin B-12 and growth hormone. She felt ill shortly after arriving in Fort Lauderdale from the Bahamas on Feb. 5 on a trip with Stern to buy a new yacht. But that illness was brought under control by antibiotics and an ice bath. She also suffered intense, pungent sweating that soaked the sheets. Seminole Tribal Police Chief Charlie Tiger said investigators found nothing unusual on laptop computers belonging to Smith and Stern. Tiger also said nothing came up during an exhaustive review of tapes from hotel security cameras and from interviews with numerous witnesses. The public airing of the details of Smith's death reflected the way she lived her life. The medical examiner's report was accompanied by a press release and even a PowerPoint presentation. Among the excruciating details were descriptions of Smiths breast-enhancement scars, her pink hair extensions and numerous tattoos, including one of a Playboy bunny, a Bible intertwined with a heart and shooting flames, and the smiling face of Marilyn Monroe.

Smith, arrive at the Friend of the Court offices in the Macombo County Courthouse to work out an agreement with Eminem and his attorney, Harvey Hauer, on Monday in Mt. Clemens, Mich. Eminem and Mathers agreed Monday not to criticize each other public.

Eminem filed a motion in Macomb County Circuit Court earlier this month that sought to prevent Mathers from making "derogatory, disparaging, inflammatory and otherwise negative comments" about him in the media. Mathers, who has twice married and divorced the rapper, blasted Eminem in recent TV and radio interviews, including one on a Detroit radio station in which she said he was unfaithful and uncaring — and disparaged his sexual prowess. She attended the hearing and a closed-door meeting beforehand in the chambers of Friend of the Court Referee David Elias, Eminem, whose real name is Marshall Bruce Mathers III, wasn't in court, but spoke by telephone in Elas chambers. The two sides agreed to the deal, which was announced at the court hearing. "We're happy the court was able to bring this matter to a just and equitable resolution," Eminem's lawyer, Harvey Hauer, said outside the courtroom. Michael J. Smith, Mathers' attorney, said the decision was reached "for the full benefit of the child." However, Smith said the order doesn't prohibit Eminem from performing songs in which he is critical of his former wife. Smith said Eminem and Mathers have "to attempt to promote a good relationship" and "can't talk bad about each other to the child." The couple married in 1999, divorced in 2001, remarried in January 2006 and separated three months later. 》 SMITHSONIAN Museum official steps down Secretary resigns amid talk of questionable spending BY BRETT ZONGKER ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — The Smithsonian Institution announced Monday that its top official, Secretary Lawrence M. Small, has resigned amid criticism about his spending. Small, the first businessman to run the 160-year-old museum and research complex, resigned over the weekend after more than seven years as secretary. The decision was unanimously accepted Sunday by the Smithsonian's Board of Regents. "His long service and outstanding service were weighed against the current contrary feelings among some people in the community," said Roger Sant, chairman of the Smithsonian board's executive committee. "It was a very hard, conflicted decision." Cristian Samper, director of the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History, was appointed acting secretary while the regents conduct a nationwide search for a permanent replacement. An internal audit in January found that Small had made $90,000 in unauthorized expenses, including private jet travel and expensive gifts. The audit also found that Small charged the Smithsonian more than $1.1 million for agreeing to use his 6,500-square-foot home in the affluent Woodley Park neighborhood of Washington for official functions. The housing expenses included $273,000 for housekeeping, $2,535 to clean a chandelier and $12,000 for service on his backyard swimming pool. On Thursday, the Senate approved freezing a proposed $17 million increase in funding for the Smithsonian, citing Small's excessive compensation and spending. Small was to earn $915,698 this year in total compensation — more than double what he earned during his first year as secretary in 2000. Small will not be given a severance package and did not ask for any final compensation, said Patty Stonesie, co-chair of the board. "Having spent countless days and evenings promoting the interests of the Institution and having contributed over half a million dollars of my own money as well, it has truly been a labor of love." Small wrote in his resignation letter. Sant said he helped Small weigh his options in recent days. "I think (Small) was really concerned about the possibility of the institution being changed fundamentally" after members of Congress ques- tioned the Smithsonian's funding and governance; Sant said. He added that it was difficult to ignore the Senate's vote to withhold an increase in Smithsonian funding. of community service. "He really feels the fundamental nature of the institution has been attacked, and he's very upset about that." Last year, Small angered historians and filmmakers when he signed a 30-year semi-exclusive contract to create a new TV unit with Showtime Networks Inc., because it could limit access to Smithsonian resources. In Samper, 41, the Smithsonian board chose a Harvard University-trained biologist more closely tied to Smithsonian tradition. The first nine secretaries were all scientists. He joined the Smithsonian in 2001 as deputy director of the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama. Samper, who is from Costa Rica and grew up "He really feels the fundamental nature of the institution has been attacked, and he's very upset about that," Sant said. ROGER SANT Smithsonian board chairman Small, 65, was the 11th secretary at the Smithsonian, which includes 18 museums, the National Zoo and a 19th museum under development. He was criticized early in his tenure for imposing changes without the support of museum staff. Scientists complained that he eliminated funding for research and neglected improvements to museum facilities. In 2004, Small was convicted on a federal charge of importing South American headdresses that included feathers from endangered birds for his personal collection. A judge sentenced Small to two years of probation and 100 hours the board of regents to continue strengthening and building the public trust in the Smithsonian", Samper said. "I think the institution stands for many important values in American society". in Colombia became the director of the natural history museum in 2003. "I look forward to working with all of my colleagues at the other museums and our supporters and Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, who has been calling for change at the Smithsonian, said Small's resignation was a positive first step. Chief Justice John Roberts, who serves as chancellor of the Smithsonian, also offered praise for Small. Sant praised Small's tenure, saying he raised $1 billion for the institution, which he said was a record. SINCE 1936 Jersey Mike's SUBS "The Board recognizes that the Smithsonian Institution has benefited greatly from your leadership and dedication," he said in a letter to Small, accepting his resignation.

EDITORIAL: The recent scandal at DePauw University should force us to show more respect and dignity in the University Greek system. TUESDAY, MARCH 27, 2007 WWW.KANSAN.COM See Kansan.com for more opinions and Free for All comments THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN OPINION PAGE 5A 》 OUR VIEW Greek system should show respect, grace Delta Zeta Sorority's purpose, as dictated by its Web site is, "to unite its members in the bonds of sincere and lasting friendship, to stimulate one another in the pursuit of knowledge, to promote the moral and social culture of its members, and to develop plans for guidance and unity in action; objects worthy of the highest aim and purpose of associated effort." This sorority's mission statement is suddenly saturated with irony because of the recent scandal at DePauw University. Where 23 of the 35 sisters in the chapter were asked to leave. Hurt feelings soon turned into national news. Speculation that the 23 Delta Zeta sisters were kicked out of the sorority house because they weren't popular or didn't look like "America's Next Top Model" has been raised by the national news. If these allegations prove true, then this sorority is procuring the stereotypes sororites are prone to; elitist women that value looks and possessions over content of character. Kicking girls out of a sorority house because they're a size eight rather than a size four or have 100 friends on Facebook rather than 397 is wildly immature and reeks of a major backfire. This idea of turning Delta Zeta into a "cool" sorority ended up making the remaining sisters, not the rejected ones, embarrassed. Hopefully this incident is an isolated one. Perhaps this can serve as a precautionary tale to other sororities nationwide that stomping on self-esteems and dismissing dignity will get you nowhere but the wrong end of a story on every national media outlet. The University of Kansas boasts 3,500 Greek members in 40 different houses according to kugreek.org. There's an organization for every type of person that accepts members for who they are, rather than who they supposedly should be. If a school like the University can run a Greek system that serves a large and diverse student body, then smaller schools like DePauw should take note. - Tasha Riggins for the editorial board. COMMENTARY University can't force multiculturalism Having a diverse student body is something worth boasting about. The University of Kansas' Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor Richard Lariviere said on the University's Web site that diversity mattered because it "enriches our ability to solve problems and create new knowledge." If what Lariviere said was true, the University was sure to have trouble solving problems and creating new knowledge. Students hear constantly about the University's diversity and the strengths that it brings to campus. But where is this diversity, you may ask. And you're right; if you are looking for diversity, the Hill is not the place to find it. But the diversity is nowhere to be found. Of the 26,733 students enrolled in the University for the 2007 school year, 20,977 — nearly 80 percent — call themselves white. The second largest category is non-resident aliens with 1,579. The University's African-American and Hispanic-American students combine to account for less than 2,000 or 7 percent of enrollees. For as much as the University talks about its focus on diversity, it is evident that little action takes place. If a diverse student body help create new knowledge, one would hope that it would not be closed up in buildings like the Multicultural Resource Center. Opened in 1995 as a reaction to racial tensions on campus, the center's Web site says it was created "to promote multicultural education and understanding." More than 10 years later little racial tension exists on campus. There is equally little racial diversity however BY LUCAS LUX KANSAN COLUMNIS OPINION@KANSAN.COM Out of the same 26,000 students, 8,139 come from Johnson County. a suburban county outside Kansas City, Kan.

This interaction rarely comes from workshops; this interaction comes from everyday encounters from people who are different from oneself.

The case that the University is a diverse campus is difficult to make with such overrepresented areas. their way to attend workshops usually already appreciate the diversity they show up to learn about; the people who most need multicultural The best way to promote multicultural education and understanding is interaction with different cultures. This interaction rarely comes from workshops; this interaction comes from everyday encounters with people who are different from oneself. People who go out of education and understanding are unlikely to participate in a multi-cultural activity. To truly promote understanding between cultures the University must find a way to bring diversity to campus. The University can't force minorities or students from different areas to apply, nor is the University systematically denying admission based on race or hometown. But the University does have a role to play as a public education and research institution. It has an obligation to find reasons for gaps in diversity and to try to close them. The University should not stop admitting Johnson County students, but should look into why students from areas like Wyandotte County don't apply. If the problem is a deficiency of K-12 education, Kansas should find ways to help. If money is the problem, the University should make scholarships available so less fortunate students can attend. Diversity makes our university stronger, but boasting about a diversity that is not present makes us weaker and ignorant. Lux is a Topeka freshman in German. LAWRENCE,KS City of the Arts?

Disclaimer: For some of you the effects of spring break may have given you an extra edge of confidence for this season's chase. Unfortunately, South Padre does not count as a valid confidence boost: She was under the influence of a heavy Vitamin E overdose and alcohol, not your smooth antics or seemingly charming drunken perspectives on all things trend. However, I applaud your success and can only hope you take the antibiotics as directed. Follow these easy steps for a fun spring fling FREE FOR ALL I just saw a white guy with spinning tires. Is that even legal? we lose. All of the Kansas basketball players should get enrolled in the Roy Williams Layups and Dunk camp. With the spring season and the reemergence of bikini clad beauties it is worthy to highlight the college ritual of the "spring mating call." As the hibernation of winter wears off and hormones unthaw, some guidance may be needed to "get back on the bike." For men this is the pinnacle time of year when fake tans and short skirts never looked so good. For the rest of the male population that truly finds this season to be frightful and, like previous seasons, unsuccessful, I pity you. That aside I am here to lay down some simple guidelines to aid you in this year's pursuit of the illustrious campus beauty. I'm no "pimp," "player," "dating guru" or "self-proclaimed prophet," so results may vary and I by no means can be held responsible for commonly heard phrases that resem we lose. I leave you with these five simple guidelines. Remember they are guidelines, not fundamental truths for marrying a 12 on the Richter scale. Consider these baby steps, you can't run without first learning to walk awkwardly at first. I suggest you also read the "The Little Engine that Could" by Watty Piper for emotional inspiration. Good luck hunting this season gentleman. With all the money that Sunflower Broadbrand charges for cable, you'd imagine they could stop airing those stupid "go KU" ads after Guideline three: When out at a local drinking establishment by no means get sucked into the soothing siren sound of "will you buy me a drink?" I cannot emphasize this enough. No, she doesn't like you; it's the Jacksons in your wallet that are appealing. The opposite sex are cunning creatures, but be aware of their bar tactics and you may end up getting home with more than just a severe case of blue balls. Zachariah Smith Dumfries, Virginia senior Guideline two: Once you actually make the conscience effort to talk to a female — alcohol consumption is an optional aid — anything other then saying hello and introducing yourself is not allowed. The time for pick-up lines about angels and beautiful eyes has passed. We are evolving creatures; lets not regress. Guideline four; Comedy sells. Guideline one: If you find yourself locking eyes with a pretty princess do not by any means look away. Muster up some confidence — you stud — and flash a smile. Women don't need to be reminded of high school and the awkward notion that you are still a boy. Confidence is key, even if you have to pretend. The Jayhawks really played like a bunch of orcs! Guideline five: This last guideline highlights why most chases end in a flame of embarrassing glory. Ever seen Swingers? If not, bitch-slap yourself and rent it tonight. Notice the scene when Jon decides to call a potential catch too quick and chats way too long on her answering machine. Smooth move. Beware of the "I'm desperate for you" approach.

Alberto Gonzales, Troy Eid, U.S. Attorney for the District of Colorado, Jeff Copp of the FBI and John Salantiro of the Postal Service listen to Kirk Hon, representative of the Denver Police Dept., during a discussion on Project Safe Childhood in Denver on Monday. ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Attorney General Alberto Gonzales' liaison with the White House will refuse to answer questions at upcoming Senate hearings about the firing of eight U.S. attorneys, citing her Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination, her lawyer says. "I have decided to follow my lawyer's advice and respectfully invoke my constitutional right," Monica Goodling, Gonzales' counsel and White House liaison, said in a statement to the Senate Judiciary Committee. The revelation complicated the outlook for Gonzales, who is traveling out of town this week even as he fightsto keep his job and his agency's investigatory power. The House was to vote late Monday on stripping him of his authority to appoint U.S. attorneys without Senate confirmation, similar to a measure the Senate passed this month. Bush has signaled he John Dowd, the lawyer for Gonzales counsel Monica Goodling, who plans to take the Fifth, suggested in a letter to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., that the Democrat-led panel has laid amounts to a perjury trap for his client. would not veto it. Goodling, one of several aides involved in the firings of federal prosecutors, will refuse to answer senators' questions. "The potential for legal leopardy for Ms. Goodling from even her most truthful and accurate testimony under these circumstances is very real," Dowd said. Goodling was key to the Justice Department's political response to the growing controversy. She took a leave of absence last week. "One need look no further than the recent circumstances and proceedings involving Lewis Libby," Dowd said, a reference to the recent conviction of Vice President Dick Cheney's former chief of staff Gonzales had promised to let his top aides testify under oath before the House and Senate Judiciary Committees. in the CIA leak case. "The American people are left to wonder what conduct is at the base of Ms. Goodling's concern that she may incriminate herself in connection with criminal charges if she appears before the committee under oath," said Leaby. Dowd shot back in a second letter that Leahy's comments were a good illustration of why testifying was "perilous" for Goodling. "It is the politically charged environment created by the members of the committee ... that has created the ambiguous and perilous environment in which even innocent witnesses would be well advised not to testify." Dowd wrote. Democrats allege the firings were a purge of those deemed by the Justice Department not to be "joyful Bushies" — and a political warning to other prosecutors to fall in line with the administration. Gonzales has denied that. Gonzales, meanwhile, was in Denver on Monday, leading a round-table discussion on curbing child sex abuse. He was expected to remain out of town most of the week. KANSANCLASSIFIEDS The news of Goodling's refusal to testify toughened an already daunting week for Gonzales, who retains President Bush's support, apparently on condition that he patch things up with Congress. There was little sign of that happening. Republicans over the weekend lobbed new criticism at Gonzales and more Democrats called for his resignation. AUTO STUFF But Goodling's announcement appeared to be an unforeseen piece of bad news for Gonzales' agency, which had no immediate comment. OBS LOST & FOUND Gonzales is not scheduled to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee until April 17 — three weeks away.

That feeling often disappears in a borrowed car. It takes time to adjust to the vehicle, so the driver is a bit more cautious. Maybe that's how the top talent in NASCAR felt Sunday when the Car of Tomorrow debuted at Bristol Motor Speedway. The car was big and bony, some might even say ugly. It looked different from their normal cars and felt nothing like what they were used to. And it turned what's normally a rough and tumble race into a rather ho-hum affair. "I can't stand to drive them," race-winner Kyle Busch said after beating Jeff Burton in a last-lap sprint to the finish line. "I didn't see any highlights out there." "The car was terrible," he added. "It's hard to set up and it's hard to drive. I don't remember anyone complaining about the old ones. I told my team before the race that I hoped I could win it so that I could tell everybody how bad it is." There was initial skepticism when NASCAR chose Bristol as the first venue for the COT. Because the 0.533-mile oval is so tight, the beating and banging typically begins the moment the green flag flies. Because teams worried the COTI would fall apart on impact, everyone believed the track would be littered with splitters and rear wings. But as NASCAR closed in on the debut, Bristol actually began to make sense. Since the track routinely produces such thrilling racing, would anyone even notice the COT was out there? Initially, no. When the race began, everything appeared ordinary. Then Tony Stewart humiliated the field, opening an insurmountable four-second lead as he dominated the first half of the race. Big, big Bristol suddenly became a snooze fest. There was no swapping of sheet metal, no bump-and-runs and very little banging. Of the 15 cautions only three were for multicar accidents. "I thought the COT handled poorly enough that the guys actually didn't run over each other because they didn't have good control of their car" Martin said. Even Mark Martin, who ended his streak of 621 strained races to watch Bristol from his living room, noticed how calm things were. And noted COT critic Jeff Gordon had softened his stance after a third-place finish. But opinions differed across the garage. "There were positives," he said. "We made passes on the outside I was surprised by. I'm still not crazy about this thing, but it's growing on me." "I may be wrong," Burton said, "but from my point of view, it seemed like just another race at Bristol." But Gordon also explained that his main beef with the COT is that it's different from what he's used to. Chevrolet rolled out an Impala SS for the COT, and Gordon prefers his old Monte Carlo. "The current car drives better, it's got more downforce, it's got more grip, it has better feel," he said. "So if you compare (the COT) to that car, you're not going to like it."

"That's kind of a struggle for this team right now is the midweek games." Morrison said. "It seems like we don't come out with as much energy and that we kind of play down to the opponent. Those are important games." Jones was questioned by Las Vegas police and released. RUSH (CONTINUED FROM 12A) Kansas has won just two of its last five and is in need of a solid game in Springfield to kick start a run in the Big 12. Morrison and fellow junior John Allman will likely lead the way. Allman was one of just two Jayhawks have a hit in each game of last weekend's Oklahoma State series. The left fielder was also one of two Kansas batters to have a multi-hit game in the series. HIGHER TEST SCORES GUARANTEED OR YOUR MONEY BACK Lawyers for lones have denied Minxn club co-owner Robert Susnar's account that lones arrived and left the club with the shooter. After 500 hours of reviewing videotapes and interviewing witnesses from the club, Castro said police were unable to establish a relationship between lones and the shooter. Although Morrison had a fairly quiet weekend against the Cowboys, he homered in the series finale and continues to lead the offense in both home runs (5) and RBI (26). Where Morrison brings strong numbers for tonight's contest, he brings an even stronger mindset. Kansan senior sportswriter Alissa Bauer can be contacted abauer@ kansan.com.

Though Erandon Rush's contributions do not always make the highlight reel, he plays an important part on defense. With his "team-first, defender-first" attitude, he has been able to make key plays to lead the laybacky to victory. Rush plans to explore his options before deciding if he will make the jump to the NBA or stay for another season. You accomplished quite a bit for not having a senior, but I know not one of you is ultimately satisfied. You came so close, then brought your 'D' game when the timing couldn't have been worse. This is where I start to plea. Please come back for just one more year. It would mean so much to all of us out there who genuinely love to watch you guys play basketball. It's quite a thrill here at Kansas; a huge part of our lives, but you know this already. The scouts say a few of you would be drafted if you leave. You should put it off, though. You could be legends around here next year. KANSAN FILE PHOTO This year you were young. UCLA was the yours anyway. But that's what another year is for, right? more experienced team, and a very good one at that. I still can't believe Arron Affallo made that three-pointer when you were right in his face, Brandon. That could be you next year. That is, if you stick around. If you guys could have played with an extra year of improvement to fall back on, you would have beaten UCLA for sure. Heck, if you had made your layups and free throws the game would have been Kansas needs another national title. Bill Self and the Big 12 could use one too. Wouldn't it be ecstasy to cut down the nets in San Antonio? With every-one back, the chances would be much better. The potential of this team is unlimited; all it needs is one more year of development. I'm not sure why anyone wouldn't want to come back to Kansas. Maybe it's the crimson-and-blue glasses I'm looking through, but besides the money, what's so great about the NBA? It's sterile compared to college hoops. I've been to a few regular-season games. Unfortunately, I didn't bring a pillow. I'm not sure why anyone wouldn't want to come back to Kansas.

You'll never play in an atmosphere like Allen Fieldhouse ever again, or experience anything like March Madness, either. And unless you get shipped to Europe at some point, you won't get to play this kind of team basketball.

BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS When Brandon Rush was being introduced as a Jayhawk, he was asked what he thought he would bring to the team. "Highlights," he said. Now two years later, Rush is a sophomore guard who will be able to play professionally because of his attention to detail on defense. It may not look as good on ESPN, but Rush has learned that playing strong defense can be just as fun as During his two seasons at Kansas, Rush's philosophy has changed Not exactly what his coach wanted to hear. "I remember thinking," He just doesn't get it," coach Bill Self said. "But that's who he is." an offensive scoring spree. During his first practices at Kansas, he said that Self spelled out how the team was going to win. The Jayhawks would play the kind of defense that made it nearly impossible for other teams to score. "His whole philosophy on defense is to make a team look bad," he said. "I bought into that philosophy." That plan included using full-court pressure on defense. It can be tiring, but can also force the opponent into turnovers that become easy points. Rush has teamed up with sophomore guard Mario Chalmers for easy baskets off Chalmers' steals. "He anticipates every pass that is going to be made, and he's great at stealing," Rush said. "He's always trying to look ahead and get easy transition baskets." Rush is also capable of creating his own offense. During the Kansas game against Southern Illinois, he took charge of the game in the final minutes to lead the Jayhawks to victory. "I just decided that somebody is going to have to step up and make some plays," he said. That aggressiveness was missing from Rush last year. Whenever he tried to pass the ball instead of taking an open shot, he was punished by having to run on a treadmill. This year in March, he came into his own as the team's main scoring option. Self said that most of what he does goes unappreciated by fans SEE RUSH ON PAGE 9A BASEBALL Midweek games becoming vital to successful season 30 The Jayhawks will try to improve on their 15-14 record when they travel to Springfield, Mo. to face the Missouri State Bears tonight at 7. KANSAN FILE PHOTO BY ALISSA BAUER Last season's 43-25 record was the first 40-victory season for Kansas since 1994. In such an accomplishment, the Jayhawks' 13 Big 12 Conference victories carried the most weight, but were only pieces of the 40-victory puzzle. Kansas' Big 12 performance continues to be the biggest facet in determining the success of the season, but is far from being the only one. Midweek games like tonight's against Missouri State (13-9, 2-1 Missouri Valley) are becoming increasingly important as this season plays on. "You've got to get those wins," junior shortstop Erik Morrison said. "It's all about getting that 40-win number and getting a shot at the NCAA tournament. And if you don't win those midweek games, The Jayhawks (15-14, 2-4 Big 12) have played five or the originally scheduled midweek games, winning only two of them. After the three-game series against North Dakota State was cancelled last month, coach Ritch Price picked up a pair of midweek games against NAIA opponents, Baker University and Tabor College. Those games boosted Kansas to a 4-3 record in midweek contests, but will probably make no impact on the layhawks' chances of making the NCAA tournament. you're not going to stand a chance with this conference we play in." "The part that's hard about this week is — the fact that it's Missouri State and we get to go play in a AA park is absolutely phenomenal — but it's a five-hour ride down there and a five-hour ride back," Price said. "We'll get home at 3 o'clock in the morning and go to Missouri on Friday, but that's part of the college baseball experience. You have to play those midweek games in order to handle velocity." Tonight, however, has plenty impact potential. Kansas and Missouri State will square off for the first of two meetings this season tonight at 7 in Hammonds Field in Springfield, Mo. The home of both the Missouri State Price, whose club is 19-22 all-time against the Bears, has been pleased with the challenges this season's midweek opponents have provided.

On Tuesday the KU Hospital Authority Board voted unanimously to accept an outline that provides the framework for the affiliation. Initial problems in negotiations stemmed from concerns of those at KU Hospital that the affiliation would give St. Luke's Hospital an unfair advantage. St. Luke's declined to comment on the affiliation. KU Hospital was reluctant to agree to any terms that would make it difficult for it to compete with St. Luke's. The outline plans for KU Hospital to receive funding for more than 100 residency positions during the next three to five years. The outline also increases hospital funding by $12 million a year and calls for continued talk of a new medical office building on the Med Center campus. "It will allow us to train more doctors at KU, we can provide better training for our doctors, and we will have more resources to train those doctors," Jordan Wooden said. "Anytime you have greater collaborations between research institutes it can benefit the entire region," Wooden said. cern was St. Luke's use of the Med Center's name and branding.

The University assembled a textbook task force to look for ways to bring students cheaper books. A textbook library may become available to students as soon as next fall. Textbook library in review as alternative to buying BY ASHLEE KIELER After the Legislature withdrew a bill to provide tax-free textbooks, it looked to the University of Kansas textbook task force for alternative ways to reduce costs. The bill was withdrawn after testimony recommended monitoring the task force's new implementations. The University is one year ahead of what the Legislature could do, said Hannah Love, Dodge City junior and task force member. "We looked at things to do on campus to solve problems with textbooks." Love said. The task force, which began work in the fall, consists of three faculty members, two students and two staff members. Early conversation focused on communicating textbook needs so an adequate supply of used and new books could be purchased for the lowest price, said Iris Fischer, assistant professor of English and task force member. The task force found that orders submitted on or before bookstore deadlines saved students the most money. Not only could those students buy more used books, but they could get a higher buyback value if the book was being reused. Fischer said. "The subcommittee hopes to see more orders submitted in a timely matter" Fischer said. The task force also found that an alternative to textbook purchasing was the creation of a textbook library. A textbook library, much like the reserved book system, makes textbooks available for students to check out. Heather Howard, library assistant, said textbooks must meet certain requirements to be placed in the textbook library. The textbooks must cost more than $100 and be required for a class of more than 100 students. The task force also decided that the 22 most-purchased books on campus would be available, including books for math, English and western civilizations courses. Love said students could check out the books for a short amount of time, and they could be reserved in advance. The Student Senate committees will review a bill to provide funding for the textbook library tonight. The bill asks for $26,515.29 from the Senate reserve account. If the bill passes committees, it will move to full Senate next week. I am a librarian at the library. I help people find books and information online. Howard said that with funding, the textbook library should be in place for the fall semester. "I'm really excited about the project," Howard said. "It gives the library the chance to expand services for students." Love said the textbook task force was successful in finding solutions to lower textbook costs. "People don't realize there's a huge effort to communicate between faculty, staff and students to fix this problem," Love said.

Edited by Carissa Pedigo 》 CITY COMMISSION Landlords may face stricter regulations BY MATT ERICKSON Lawrence may soon hold landlords more accountable for health and safety problems with their properties. The city commission decided unanimously Tuesday night to consider requiring landlords to obtain a license for all rental properties in the city and to undergo periodic inspections for code violations. The program would probably require most properties to be inspected annually, but commissioners discussed the possibility of requiring newer apartment complexes to be inspected less often. The commission will study and consider the issue this summer when it prepares next year's city budget. Mayor Mike Amyx said the commission wanted to ensure that all rental properties were fit to live in. "I don't think anyone wants anybody to be living in any substandard housing." Amyx said. The city currently requires rental properties to be licensed in single family residence zones, where more than three unrelated people may not live together. The new measure being considered would extend the requirement to properties in multiple family residence zones, where most rental properties in Lawrence exist. Several members of the public spoke for and against the expansion of the rental licensing system at the city commission meeting. Tom Harper, a Lawrence landlord, said he owned a property in the Oread Neighborhood, which encompasses the area between campus and the downtown area, that would be affected. Harper said he would support requiring all rental properties to obtain a license. He said many of the older houses in the Oread Neighborhood could become unsafe if not properly maintained by their owners. He said landlords who could not maintain their properties should not be renting their properties out. "I'd hate to see a big fire happen, or something really wrong happen, in one of these old buildings just because there was a mistake made," Harper said. The city would pay for the rental property inspections by charging landlords a licensing fee. The city's current fee for single-family rental properties is $25 for each rental unit. Brandy Sutton, an attorney who represents local landlords, said that cost would be transferred to tenants. Commissioner David Schauer said he didn't think the fee would be very damaging for landlords. "It is simply a regressive tax that we're putting on people who already cannot afford to own their own homes and are looking for affordable housing in this city," Sutton said. 》 Edited bv Carissa Pediao Kansan staff writer Matt Erickson can be contacted at merickson@ kansan.com. SCIENCE Students research original experiments BY NATHAN GILL Laura Stiles and a team of researchers are building a device in Malott Hall's nuclear physics lab that they intend to install in the largest particle accelerator in the world. Stiles' award was given to fund research on the construction and calibration of a Zero Degree Calorimeter. She said the device was a two-by-three-inch box that, Stiles' part in the project is being funded by one of 15 Undergraduate Research Awards that the University of Kansas gave earlier this month.

"It's important to know because it tells you about how particles come out of these collisions". Stiles said. Mark Nesbitt-Daly is co-chair of the University Honors Council Research Committee, which promotes undergraduate research at the University and selects award winners. He said undergraduate research was important for students who wanted to gain practical experience and "do their major." "Unless a student really engages in research, they really don't get to understand what they're major is all about," Nesbitt-Daly said.

Staying busy isn't all bad said Lloyd, a Lawrence junior. Loyd's busy schedule could keep anyone moving — not only is she involved outside of the classroom in extracurricular activities, but she also a double major in political science and sociology. Loyd said that during her years at the University she had learned that excelling both inside and outside of the classroom was the key to success in college. "I do better when I'm busy," she said.

"Working with higher education and seeing what provoits do was absolutely fascinating," she said. "I plan to apply my theory of college life into my job, and I'll work with students to help them make the most of their college experience." Loyd has made the most of her college experience by immersing herself in leadership roles. As the SLAB codirector, Loyd's duties include holding voter registration drives, playing host to speakers and participating in Civic Engagement Week with the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics in the fall. As the Student Senate community affairs director, Loyd attends weekly city commission meetings, where she is the University's student representative, and handles matters such as noise ordinances and transportation. As the Kappa Kappa Gamma president, Loyd runs chair meetings, oversees 17 officers and approximately 150 collegiate members and has even been asked to "unclog the unstairs toilet" she said. "It is such a big job every day." Loved said. "I take on a lot but I always make sure to follow through," she said. "I always finish, not always successfully, but I am always thorough. I'll always give it my best shot." With her numerous responsibilities to the many groups that she is a part of, it helps that Loyd, in her own words, is diligent. Before she walks down the hill -- her favorite University tradition Loyd hopes to be known as a student who made a difference at the University. "I want to be known as someone who was able to do what she wanted, someone who funnelaed their passions into some sort of collective body," she said.

MARCH 28, 2007 NEWS STUDENT SENATE 3A Technology, convenience head new platforms for coalition BY ASHLEE KIELER The United Students coalition released more platforms as elections grow closer. Hannah Love, Dodge City junior and presidential nominee, and running mate Ray Wittlinger, Overland Park junior, previously released platform issues on increased campus safety, upgrading classroom technology and convenient student life and services. Love and Wittlinger's new platforms involve convenience, technology and making campus more beautiful. United Students plans to bring more convenience to students by moving the University Career Center to Jayhawk Boulevard, create a satellite parking office in the Kansas Union and create 24-hour parking spots at the Student Recreation and Fitness Center. Moving the career center to Jayhawk Boulevard would make it easier for students to transition from college to career. The center provides help for students moving from high school to college, changing majors, advising and when graduating. "The career center can expand their services to students in a larger space," Love said. Wittlinger said that bringing services to high traffic areas would benefit students. Creating an open satellite parking office would allow students to pay parking tickets and purchase permits without going to the Parking Department. The department would continue to maintain its current location in the Allen Fieldhouse parking garage, but students would have the option to pay from the new location, Love said. United Students is also looking into creating 24-hour parking spots at the recreation center. The parking spots would be available for students that want to work out during the school day without getting a parking violation. "We spoke with both the rec center and the parking department and each were willing to work together to make the spots a reality." Love said. Wittlinger said that the recreation center was a popular place and students should be able to use it at their convenience. initiative, modeled after the University of Texas, provides students with Microsoft software at a small cost. The renovation of the jayhawk Central Information Shack, located near jayhawk "Every student is required to use "One of our main goals was to make sure every student and group are affected by our platforms." HANNAH LOVE United Students presidential nominee Boulevard, is on the list for improvement. The shack is located in a very high traffic area — along Jayhawk Boulevard near Stauffer-Flint Hall — and isn't utilized to the fullest extent, Love said. Adding to their previous platform of upgraded technology, United Students proposes the Microsoft Campus Initiative. The programs such as Word or Access to succeed in their classes". Wittlinger said. "This is a way for them to not pay a ridiculous amount for the software." software, thus being able to offer the software to students to download at home. The University would invest in Microsoft United Students also focused on making campus more beautiful. The coalition plans to create more permanent recycling drop-offs for student use. "We would like to set up sites in the Park and Ride lots, so students can just make a drop-off on their way to class," Love said. Promoting the Adams Campus Challenge Course is a way to create a student retreat center. The University owns land near Clinton Lake with a high-rope and low-rope course intended for use by student groups. However, most student groups are unaware of this course. United Students plan to push the Kansas University Endowment Association to promote the Adams Campus, so it would benefit the students more. Wittlinger said it was an exciting opportunity to promote this area for groups use so that one day the University could set up a retreat center. The final platform issue addressed by United Students involves student academics. The concept of a "dead week" guarantees that students will not have tests the week before finals. The University currently has rules restricting the type of tests students may be required to take before finals to chapter or unit specific. The credit/no credit grade option for students has changed in recent years. United Students wants to give students the opportunity to drop their credit/no credit grade option if they are receiving an "A" in the course. "Students opt for the credit/no credit option early on and then realize they can do well in the class." Wittinger said. If the student earns an "A" at the end of the semester they should receive the "A", even if they had opted for the credit/no credit grade option, Wittinger said. "One of our main goals was to make sure every student and group are affected by our platforms." Love said. Wittlinger added that the platforms are 100 percent feasible and wouldn't increase student fees. Kansan staff writer Ashlee Kieler can be contacted at akieler@kansan.com. Washington, D.C., trip opens international doors GLOBAL AWARENESS PROGRAM BY NATHAN GILL Edited by James Pinick "The Hotel Helix was pretty swinging, pretty swank," Ladd, Effingham senior, said. Nathan Ladd spent his spring break in Washington, D.C., rubbing shoulders with political elites and lodging at a hotel with leopard print robes and raves-cheetah blankets. Ladd was one of 10 University of Kansas students who traveled to Washington, D.C., with the Global Awareness Program last week. The students, all in the process of gaining GAP certification with the University, visited international embassies, institutes and organizations and met with people in international careers. Jane Irungu, GAP director, said the purpose of the trip was to help students interested in international careers, such as diplomacy, international conflict mediation and foreign service, learn about international organizations and job opportunities. "We wanted to expose them to these international organizations and people working in government so they could network with people who work on the ground," Irungu said. Irungu said the trip was the brain-child of Diana Carlin, dean of the graduate school and international programs, and Ambassador to Qatar Kenton Keith, a KU alumnus. Stops on the groups itinerary included the Irungu, who accompanied the GAP students along with Carlin, said her favorite stops were the Washington and Lincoln monuments and the U.S. Capitol building. Embassy of the Republic of Poland, the United States Institute of Peace and the Organization of American States. Ladd said he most enjoyed dining with Keith at his home and that he did his fair share of networking. He also enjoyed meeting with like-minded people and learned that having real world experience with international organizations would help further an international "To get to the corridors of power, I thought it was wonderful," Irungu said. "I thought it would be a great way to introduce myself to possible career opportunities," Ladd said of the trip. "I was wanting to get an idea of what organizations were out there." career. Irungu said that the University, through the Office of International Programs, paid for most of the trip, but that students paid $300 to participate. "Three hundred dollars was nothing compared with what we got out of it." Ladd said. Kansan staff writer Nathan Gill can be contacted at ngill@kansan. com.

JIMMY BATES & TRIANGLE Judd divorces husband after sex charge KRISTIN M. HALL BY ASSOCIATED PRESS NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Wynonna Judd filed for divorce Tuesday from her estranged husband, less than a week after his arrest in Texas on sex charges involving a minor. Dan R. Roach, 49, was arrested Thursday in Abilene and charged with three counts of aggravated sexual battery against a child younger than 13 in Nashville, police said. He was expected to be extradited to Nashville, said police spokesman Don Aaron. It wasn't known if he had an attorney. "I am obviously devastated," the 42-year-old country singer said in a statement on her Web site. "Our family will pull together, begin the healing process and hopefully — by the Grace of God — become stronger. We will move forward with our faith, family and our friends to find resolution to this difficult situation." Judd cited irreconcilable differences as a reason for divorce in the complaint filed in the Nashville suburb of Williamson County. The couple, who were married in November 2003, have been separated since Feb. 18, according to the complaint. Aaron said an investigation by the department's sex crimes unit started in February. Roach had been receiving treatment for drug and alcohol addiction at a rehabilitation clinic in Texas. 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging 》 HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) Today is a 7 You have the enthusiasm, but do you have the self-discipline?

COMMENTARY: Columnist-at-large Kelsey Hayes relishes throwing caution to the wind and enjoying in the journey of life abroad. See Kansan.com for more opinions and Free for All comments WEDNESDAY, MARCH 28, 2007 WWW.KANSAN.COM THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN OPINION PAGE 5A 》 OUR VIEW Steer clear of media craze and form an educated opinion in 2008 An already vocal lament about the 2008 presidential campaign, aside from its ridiculously early commencement, is the media's focus on the hypercompetitive "horserace" aspect of it. Policy matters and substantive issues are largely ignored, displaced by endless polls, "favorable ratings" and the imagery of battle. But another aspect of the media's coverage threatens to submarine a candidate before he even stands a chance; the predetermined declaration of who exhibits the best "electability." Sunflower State native son Sam Brownback, his campaign in struggling infancy, is already a victim of this unfortunate trend. Rarely will you see Brownback's name in the media far from any number of demeaning adjectival terms: "fringe," "long shot," "little known," et al. Because he knew the name recognition of more prominent politicians like Rudy Giuliani, Brownback is relegated to the edges of the Republican field, far We are thus presented with a vexing conundrum, electoral and semantic; to what extent does the media's description of a candidate's status simply reflect reality, and to what extent does it unfairly compel voters to dismiss a candidate based on his perceived lack of electability? Does the media's description of a lesser known candidate in fact cement that candidate's obscure standing, barring him from advancing from those to whom the media ascribes "frontrunner" status. toward possible election? There is no denying that Brownback lacks the celebrity of Giuliani or Senator John McCain. But he is at least as accomplished as former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, whose main credentials as a frontrunner seem to be a prodigious knack for raising money and an ever-evolving and politically expedient set of principles. However, the diminutive description of Brownback's candidacy inherently prevents most voters from considering him, much less learning his stances of various policy areas. For example, how many among us know that Brownback has been a vocal opponent of the troop surge in Iraq? Or that he is a leading supporter of aid to Darfur, the humanitarian cause du jour? He is often described as being ardently pro-life, but he also works to help children after birth, sponsoring bills to end sex trafficking and assist refugees. But these talk- mg points are largely lost in the swirling media storm of polls, fundraising, and battleground states. Take care to form your own opinions and interpretations of candidates and their platforms. Don't let our preconceived election story angles—frontrunner, dark horse, long shot, etc. define who you support or how you vote. McKay Stangler for the editorial board. COMMENTARY Enjoy the journey of life, with or without maps According to Herman Melville, the true places can't be found on any map. In spite of this, I'd still rather carry the maps. I'm cautious like that If all is going well, I'm in Amsterdam at this very moment, strolling down the Rembrandtplein or visiting the Van Gogh Museum. I'm towards the beginning of a four-week trek across Europe, which is how I'm spending my spring break There's something amazing about putting together and planning My best friend and I have been planning this for nearly as long as we both planned to study abroad. We evolved from looking up hostels and train fares in coffeeshops to actually booking hostels and buying train tickets. Our parents didn't really believe what we were actually planning until we finally did it. MARTHA STANLEY BY KELSEY HAYES KANSAN COLUMNIS a journey that makes me giddy. The anticipation is almost as amazing as the actual experience. While my friend researched every hostel in Europe, practically I paimak. ingly plotted our course and labeled maps. The result is something that's uniquely ours, something that no one else can ever really share. KANSAN.COLUMNIST OPINION@KANSAN.COM Our trip is elaborate and far-flung. It begins in Paris, winds through Germany and Italy and ends in Lisbon. It involves numerous churches, art that will probably make me cry when I see it and landmarks that helped shape western civilization. Yet at the same time, it's still just use. Two college girls who a long time ago thought it'd be fun to go backpacking. When I imagine our trip, it becomes hard to see all the landmarks. I mostly just picture us wandering foreign streets. I picture the two of us fumbling with our French and German, making a meal of cheap wine, bread and sausage, running to make the trains and dancing in nightclubs. In other words, I picture us exploring the places that aren't on the map. I'm glad that we have the combination of both the known and the unknown on this trip. Obviously the Eiffel Tower, Brandenburg Gate and the Forum will be where we expect them to be. However, it's the expeditions down the back roads that I imagine will define the tour. It's these jaunts that will set our experience apart from all the others. I appreciate the fact that most people will never have an opportunity like this. However, all the Monet paintings and palaces in Europe would be meaningless without a true friend to share them with. A night at home with a friend can be greater than touring the Vatican alone. I suppose I'm just lucky that I get to have both, although I'd choose the former in a heartbeat. Hayes is a Lenexa sophomore in journalism and political science. She is studying abroad this year in Reading, UK. COMMENTARY Lawrence deserves to take part in American tradition of fireworks Fireworks have long been an important part of our society, used to celebrate and, in a way, exemplify our freedom. The act of lighting fireworks is an apt metaphor for the American dream, and the essence of what makes us great. The ability to take a risk, in this case lighting the fuse, but to do so prudently, and for that risk being rewarded with a grand, brilliant display in the sky and to take pride in the fact that you caused it. And this is what we have been doing as a nation for the past 250 years. The founding fathers started a war with an imperial superpower, and then ended up assembling the worlds first democratic republic. Then the settlers 60 years later, moved west, facing the elements, the wildlife, and indian attacks along the way. And as a result, they gave America the size and resources it enjoys today. And since then, it has been the multitudes of immigrants who have given up their lives in their home countries to make a name for themselves here, that have made this country what it is today. 2015-04-03 16:38:07 BY ZACH WHITE And yet this universal symbol of freedom has been outlawed in Lawrence. This is troubling because the government has once again decided that not only are people BY ZACH WHITE KANSAN COLUMNIST OPINION@KANSAN.COM not responsible enough to take care of themselves, or know what is dangerous, but that the government needs to tell people what is dangerous. Both of these statements are incorrect, and offensively so. This effort, apparently carried out in the name of protecting the people, in that special way only the government can, is just another turn of the wheel on the medieval rack, to which the concept of individual responsibility seems to be strapped. But it's not just the governments fault. The government is a kid that we aren't watching as well as we should. We don't want to be bothered with personally forming an opinion on fireworks, or car seatbelts, or cross-fats, so we pay someone to tell us what to think about these things. I say, America needs to grow some balls. Yet when I have, on a few occasions actually, been witness to a group of drunken party attendees screaming about and eventually detonating fireworks in a front yard somewhere, I realize there's hope for this nation, and it brings a tear to my eye.

Several astute observers have recently noted that anarchic partition is already occurring in the status quo. Traditionally mixed neighborhoods in Baghdad and around the country are gradually, and violently, segregate themselves into Sunni and Shia districts. Northern Kurdistan is already a semi-autonomous and relatively stable state anyway, but deserves protection from the spreading unrest to its south. An external force can protect the civilians fleeing sectarian strife while ensuring a reasonably equitable distribution of resources.

Woman standing with hands on her hips. A man stands in the middle, a boy in front of him and a man standing to the right. MRG Grant Snider/KANSAN GUEST COMMENTARY The time for an effective American policy in Iraq is quickly running out, and the country can't afford to let the accelerating partisanship of the presidential campaign preclude a thoughtful strategy for Iraq. A surge in American troops can't address Iraq's political dysfunction, but a quick withdrawal would leave thousands of Iraqi civilians to the mercy of sectarian militias and Islamic fundamentalists. The only viable role left for the United States military is to facilitate Iraq's inevitable partition. Prominent politicians ought to focus on good politics rather than winning politics. Iraq strategy needs improvement The U.S. can't sustain the status quo. The 2005 Dick Cheney claim that the Iraqi insurgency was in "its last throws" was not only demonstrably false, but underscores the White House's misinterpretation of events in Iraq. There's never been a singular insurgency for coalition forces to fight. Instead, various ethnic and religious sects have sought to violently protect their own narrow interests. Throwing 20,000 more troops at the problem can only increase resentment against American occupation at a time when polls show an overwhelming majority of Iraqis of all sects want U.S. troops to leave. Iraqi polls, however, can't dictate U.S. foreign policy. American troops are currently the only obstacle to an even worse disaster in Iraq than the one now on our hands. An immediate withdrawal would unleash a hell failed state that would demand later American intervention An unending American presence A split Iraq is hardly the beacon of democracy President Bush promised in 2003. Partition risks greater intervention by Iran in the Shite areas and Saudi Arabia in the Sunni zone. The Iraqis themselves are more concerned with their families' safety than the geopolitical ramifications of their movements. American politicians need to formulate policy based on these conditions and not on partisan pandering. By offering a political resolution to Iraq's problems, partition frees American troops from policing a civil war and offers them a clearly-defined and short term mission. It's not the perfect answer to Iraq's troubles, but to think that such a solution exists echoes the hubris that motivated the Iraqi misadventure in the first place. 》TALK TO US Gabriella Souza, editor 864-4854 or qsouza@kansan.com Nicole Kelley, managing editor 864-4854 or nkelley@kansan.com Patrick Ross. managing editor 864-4854 or press@kansan.com Natalie Johnson; associate opinion editor 864-4924 or njohnson@kansan.com Lindsey Shirack, business manager 864-4014 or lshirack@ikansan.com Andrew MacDonald Overland Park senior Jackie Schaffer, sales manager 864-4462 or jschaffer@kansan.com Malcolm Gibson, general manager, news adviser 864-7667 or mqbisonii@kansan.com >> SUBMISSIONS Jennifer Weaver, sales and marketing adviser 864-7666 or jweaver@kansan.com The Kansan welcomes letters to the editor and quest columns submitted by students, faculty and alumni.

Jordan Wooden said that the Med Center's goal was to move into a top 50 institution in the nation. She said that St. Luke's use of branding would be limited to research and education and would not affect competition between St. Luke's and KU Hospital. "We've been engaged in extremely intense negotiations with KU Hospital to _get_ their blessing, Jordan Wooden said. The conflict was so intense that Irene Cumming, KU Hospital president, announced on Tuesday that she would be resigning at the end of June. McCulloch said that the resignation was partially due to conflicts with the Med Center. "Irene thought the best thing she could do for the hospital would be to keep fighting for this agreement to be done right and allow fresh leadership to come in and take the hospital the rest of the way under this new environment," McCulloch said. Cumming will be succeeded by Bob Page, KU Hospital's chief operating officer. Kansan staff writer Joe Hunt can be contacted at jhunt@kansan. com. St. Luke's should vote on the proposal by Friday.

Stennis Tuesday. The carrier is sailing in Persian Gulf waters. U.S. shows off naval power BY JAMES CALDERWOOD ASSOCIATED PRESS ABOARD THE USS JOHN C. STENNIAS - American warplanes screamed off two aircraft carriers Tuesday as the U.S. Navy staged its largest show of force in the Persian Gulf since the 2003 invasion of Iraq, launching a mammoth exercise meant as a message to the Iranians. The maneuvers with 15 warships and more than 100 aircraft were sure to heighten tensions with Iran, which has frequently condemned the U.S. military presence off its coast and is in a face-off with the West over its nuclear program and its capture of a British naval team. While they would not say when the war games were planned, U.S. commanders insisted the exercises were not a direct response to Friday's seizure of the 15 British sailors and marines, but they also made clear that the flexing of the Navy's military might was intended as a warning. "Iran has adopted a very escalatory posture with the things that they have done" he added. "If there is strong presence, then it sends a clear message that you better be careful about trying to intimidate others," said Capt. Bradley Johanson, commander of the Stennis. The exercises began four days after Iranian forces detained the I. Britons for allegedly being in Iranian territorial waters near the northern end of the Gulf. U.S. and British officials insist the team was properly searching cargo vessels inside Iraqi waters. F/A-18 tighter jets roared off the Stennis' flight deck all day, mounting a dozen rapid-fire training sorties against imaginary enemy ships and aircraft.

"These maneuvers demonstrate our flexibility and capability to respond to threats to maritime security," said Navy Lt. John Perkins, 32, of Louisville, Ky., as the Stennis cruised about 80 miles off the United Arab Emirates after entering the Persian Gulf overnight. None of America's naval coalition partners in the region joined the maneuvers. A French naval strike group, led by the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulie, was operating just outside the Gulf in the Arabian Sea. But the French ships were "These maneuvers demonstrate our flexibility and capability to respond to threats to maritime security" LT.

"They're showing we can keep the maritime environment safe and the vital link to the global economy open." At the Pentagon, spokesman Bryan Whitman said the Navy routinely conducts exercises when its forces are deployed near each other. "The exercise should reassure our friends and allies of our commitment to security and stability in the region," Whitman said. "We are not interested in confrontation in the Gulf." The war games involve more than 10,000 U.S. personnel mounting simulated attacks on enemy aircraft and ships, while hunting submarines and looking for mines.

Finley/ASSOCIATED PRESS 60 Shawn Bridges rests in his hospital bed in the living room of his father's house April 14, 2006, in of Cape Girardeau, Mo. Bridges, a southeast Missouri man whose documentary about how methamphetamine hopelessly ravaged his body drew global attention, died Monday. Missouri man was focus of 2006 southern Illinois documentarv BY JIM SUHR ASSOCIATED PRESS ST. LOUIS — A former trucker whose documentary chronicated an agonizing descent as methamphetamine ravaged his body has died, optimistic to the end that his story would keep others from the highly addictive stimulant. "He was extremely satisfied, wanting to do more in getting the word out and showing kids what meth harm does. We didn't get to that point," his father, Jack Bridges, said shortly after the 35-year-old died Monday at a hospital in Cape Girardeau, Mo. "He didn't want anyone to go through what he did," his father said. Shawn Bridges drew global attention last year for "No More Sunsets," a 29-minute film shot by a former southern Illinois television videographer at Bridges request. By his family's account, Bridges already had died at least twice, his heart so damaged by years of using meth — a concoction that can include toxic chemicals such as battery acid, drain cleaner and fertilizer — that it stopped and had to be shocked back into beating. The documentary shows Bridges mostly bedridden, his constant companions a catheter and feeding tube. "I'd say he's got a 34-year-old body on the outside with a 70- to 80-year-old man on the inside." his father told The Associated Press last May. Roughly 28,000 people sought treatment for meth addiction across the country in 1993, accounting for nearly 2 percent of admissions for drug-abuse care, according to the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. Just a decade later, the meth-related admissions numbered nearly 136,000 — more than 7 percent of the national total for drug-abuse treatment. Family members have said Bridges had been haunted by the dreary day in 1976 when his younger brother Jason, barely a year old, died in a car wreck. Bridges was 4 and nowhere near the accident but still blamed himself, wanting to trade places with his dead sibling, his father said. A lenient upbringing set Bridges on the road to becoming "a little monster," his father said. "By 16, the kid was a high school dropout and partner." At 26, Bridges had a heart attack that his father blamed on mets' ability to damage a chronic user's heart and other internal organs. Bridges learned he had congestive heart failure. Twice, he tried to kill himself, according to family members. During his final months in a hospital bed, Bridges' words slurred to guttural sounds when he tried to talk. At times, he spit up blood, and his weight fell dangerously when he couldn't keep food down. His father said Monday that Bridges developed a urinary tract infection shortly before he died. "I don't think people will forget what got him to this point," said Chip Rossetti, who filmed the documentary. "But what he did with his condition is really the amazing thing." Rossetti said 500 to 600 copies of the documentary had been sold, some going as far as Australia. Bridges was also profiled on German television. Rossetti said Monday he plans a sequel, chronicling Bridge's final year and testimonials by people touched by his awareness effort. "We wanted to keep him with us a lot longer, but we appreciate God's good grace," Jack Bridges said. UMM NASEB Gaza Strip A huge sewage reservoir in the northern Gaza Strip collapsed Tuesday, killing five people in a frothing cascade of waste and mud that swamped a village and highlighted the desperate need to upgrade Gaza's overburdened infrastructure. Rescue crews and Hamas gunmen rushed to the area to search for people feared buried under the sewage and mud. Dressed in wet-suits, they paddled boats through the layer of foam floating on the green and brown rivers of waste. Others waded up to their hips into the sewage.

(What's that? Don't recognize the name Dan LaFontaine? Hold on ... It's coming ... ) B He walked over to introduce himself to lan McShane, star of the HBO drama "Deadwood!" But before LaFontaine could open his mouth, McShene smiled, dropped his voice to a timbre that seemed a cross between Darth Vader and Dirty Harry, and intoned: "IN A WORLD..." ...men are slaves and women are the conquerors," is so universally known. No, it's because LaFontaine — "That Announcer Guy From the Movies" — hadn't uttered a word. "The Voice" had not spoken. This is big, reaaally big — not because it showed that LaFontaine's trademark movie-trailer catchphrase, as in "In a world where ... violence rules" or "In a world where Googling "voice-over guy," they eventually found LaFontaine.

Recognition, in all forms, just isn't a part of the voice-over world, where an artist's "stage" is an isolated sound booth and performers are known more for their voice-over pseudonyms than their given names.

SUNFLOWER OUTDOOR & BIKE 804 MASSACHUSETTS 843-5000 LAWRENCE, KANSAS Truth be told, there was one guy, behind the counter at a book store in Chapel Hill, N.C., who discerned LaFontaine's location as that from the "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" television promos. "The Voice" asked, quite politely, that this story NOT start that way. Pumps Lights Car Racks Saddles Gloves Pedals Wheels Helmets Cycling bag Kid's Stuff Too! LaFontaine is often referred to as "The Voice of God." But you won't find his moniker on a film credit alongside "best boy" and "production caterer". Who's in your Fave 5? There are no Oscars for voice-over work. An annual event dubbed the "Golden Trailer Awards" does honor the movie preview medium, including a category for "Best Voice Over." Still, film actors who lend their voices to trailers tend to take home the prize (a hefty trophy topped with a miniature trailer, as in Winnebego) rather than voice-over professionals like LaFontaine. It couldn't possibly. McShane did know the face. Chances are you do, too — now. Think Geico commercial. The bald guy with sandy mustache and headphones standing in the kitchen of a "real Geico customer," orating, "In a world where both of our cars were totally under water..." "Expect anonymity," LaFontaine once wrote in a book about the business of voice-over work. Never mind recognizing him, he went on. "Strangers never recognize my voice when I'm out in public." Bicycle Trailer LaFontaine has worked in Hollywood for decades, reached the top of his craft, earned plenty and won accolades. And yet, as he might say himself: In a world where exposure is everything, putting a face to the voice behind 5,000 movie trailers can give a guy a whole new perspective. Suddenly this fixture of show business — one of its hardest working, albeit obscure, artists — became something else: a kind of celebrity. Visibility brought newfound admiration to a behind-the scenes star and his rather invisible industry. 1. ___ 2. ___ 3. ___ 4. ___ 5. ___ Simply Wireless The Mobiles exclusive dealer Simply Wireless T + - Mobile + exclusive dealer 2540 Iowa 4651 W 6th 842-5200 749-1850 S "YOUR MOTHER IS NOT YOUR PERSONAL SERVANT, YOUNG MAN."

Students can listen to traditional Japanese music, learn calligraphy, play Japanese games, improve those not so skillful chopstick hands and learn about Japanese art without even leaving Lawrence. The fourth annual RU Japan festival will be held Sunday. The event is sponsored by the Japanese Students Association and will be held at the Kansas Union and Exteminal Christian Ministries. The event consists of a show, workshops and dinner. The show and workshops are free and open to the public. The dinner that ends the night is sold out The organization stresses cultural awareness of both Japanese and American cultures. Japanese students are paired with non-Japanese students as conversation partners and meet on a regular basis. This helps students studying Japanese with their language skills and helps Japanese students learn more about and fit into U.S. and KU culture. Along with the annual festival, the organization participates in monthly events, including the annual Taste of Asia Festival, a barbecue at Hokomb Park and a Japanese Curry Party. The organization started planning for this year's festival late last year, said Hitomi Nakamura, organization president and executive director of the festival. schedule of events Funds for the event are raised through ticket sales, fundraisers Sunday April 1 3 p.m. — Show in Woodruff Auditorium, fifth floor, Kansas Union 5:30 p.m. — Workshops in the Big 12 Room, fifth floor, Kansas Union 7 p.m. — Dinner at Ecumeni- cal Christian Ministries This year was the first year we had a fundraising party," Nakamura said.

The idea for the festival came from "Japan Night", held at the University of Nebraska, which featured Japanese skits and dinner. The festival will kick off with a show at 3 p.m. at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union. The show consists of traditional Japanese music, a Rakugo comedic performance, Japanese folk songs, Yosakoi, a mixture of traditional and modern dance, a Taiko drum performance and a skit of The Tale of Kimuraya's An-Pan. Door prizes and presentations will also be given. After the show, workshops will be open from 5:30 to 7 p.m. in the Big 12 Room. There will be 12 different workshops, each expressing a different aspect of Japanese life. Workshops include Sumie, Shodo, chopsticks, music, handicraft display, Fuwarai, Kamisuki, Pivi, Sucia, origami, laiko and an information booth. The third part of the event will be a dinner held at ECM. Dinner will be cooked by members of the organization. The meal will be Chirashi zushi, a colorful sushi garnished with shrimp and other seafood; Tempaura, deep fried seafood and vegetables; Kiriboshi Daikon, sundried radish with soy sauce and seasoning; Koya Dofu, freeze dried tofu; Dashimake Tamagoo, Japanese rolled omelet, and tea. Dinner tickets were modeled after Japanese Sucia cards, a big part of Japanese lifestyle. The cards have a number of capabilities. "The design is very popular in Japan. The biggest railroad uses it as a commuter pass," said Tatsuo Kasuya, organization adviser and festival ticket coordinator. Kasuya designed the tickets to not only resemble actual Sucia cards, but also to have functional bar codes. "The actual Sucia card has a wireless chip that can be read in less than a second." Kasuya said. "The dinner tickets are equipped with a bar code that will be read by a machine that allows participants to have a virtual Sucia experience. One in every 10 tickets will have a winning bar code good for a full refund.

Several Jayhawks have the credentials to make it in the pros, but they have to balance the benefits of getting paid with the opportunity to improve their game even more with another year in college. After the Kansas loss to UCLA, he said that he hadn't thought extensively about the decision, but that he would begin exploring his options. Coach Bill Self said he would advise Rush based on how NBA scouts rated him. At the top of the list of players who could jump is sophomore guard Brandon Rush. Initially projected to leave after his freshman season, Rush decided to stay for his second season to tweak some aspects of his game, including ball-handling and defense. may leave in college earn degree KANSAS 25 Brandon Rush "If he projects out to be a high pick, then I think there's a great chance that he may want to test it.

The Jayhawks are 2-0 in the Big 12 Conference and 23-9-1 on the season. Kansas received four votes in the latest ESPN/USA Softball poll. The Kansas softball team travels to Springfield, Mo., today for a nonconference double header against Missouri State. In the past seven games the layhawks have held teams to total of 13 runs and have put up 24 bats themselves led by the hot bats of sophomore catcher Elle Pottrif and sophomore shortstop Stevie Crisosto.

Senior pitcher Kassie Humphreys (12-3) has had an impressive season so far and is four strikeouts away from passing coach Tracy Bunge for fourth place on the softball program's all time strikeout list. Humphreys ranks fifth with 638 career strikeouts. She also leads the team with three saves on the season. The Jayhawks have won six in a row against Missouri State and own the all-time record 58-14.

"It itse like every time we take pregare inside, we have trouble with the bats," Price said. "It shouldn't be that way, but it seems to be" The nearly half an inch in half an hour that coach Ritch Price described described both Missouri State (14-9, 2-1) and Kansas (15-15, 2-4) to take gamebait practice inside the Bears' hitting facility instead of on the field. Trouble is right. Or, he would have, if the offense would have followed him. Still in the hunt with two outs and only down by two in the top of the third, Kyle Murphy cut the Missouri State state in half when he belted a solo shot to left field. The jayhawk senior center fielder was red hot Tuesday night. His 2 for-4 performance at the plate with one RBI and pair of runs scored led the offense against the Bears. Kansas dropped its fourth game of its last five Tuesday night. Murphy's two hits accounted for half of the Jayhawks' base knocks as they put up just four in the defeat. Going down in order on three different occasions while allowing a leadoff hit to the Bears in the following inning three times did nothing but damage the layhawks' search for weekend momentum. Missouri State continued to rack it up. After pitching a solid 5/2 3 innings and keeping his team in the, then 2-1, ballgame, right-handed starter Andres Esquibel (4-2) made a bad move. Woodbury took full advantage as he tagged a three-run homer in the bottom of the sixth. Kansas didn't stay off the board long, Murphy's homer saw to that in the top of the third. But once on the scoreboard, the Jayhawks did little to repeat the occurrence. "It was tough to watch," Price said of his team's lack of offense. "We were trying to build momentum going in to a huge series this weekend against Missouri, and we laid an egg with the bats." The Bears climbed on the scoreboard first when center fielder Ben Woodbury singled to lead off the bottom of the first. Fellow outfielder Nolan Keane followed that up with a double to left center, and just two batters into the game Missouri State took a 1-0 lead. A groundout RBI scored another first-inning run for Missouri State. "Andres pitched great," Price said. "He has the first and third on with two outs. He just made a really bad pitch, and he knew it when he threw it." Woodbury owned the Jayhawks on Tuesday with a 2-for-4, three-RBI performance, and his home run practically sealed the deal for the Bears.

It's time to move on and do so knowing that our program is in good hands. M. BENZALAN BY KAYVON SARRAF KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST KARRAFE@KANSAN.COM Unlike some programs who had a successful season, ala Wisconsin, Kansas will be back. Bill Self is in the midst of a run that does not appear to be ending anytime soon. Success in college basketball is all about recruiting, and Self is one of the best in the business when it comes to luring top talent to campus Despite his 0-4 Elite Eight record, which Las Vegas has set the over/under at 63.5 for the number of times this will be mentioned by the national media in the following year (bet the over). Self has shown that he knows how to sell the Kansas basket ball product to high schoolers. Despite having no seniors and little playing time available on paper. Self is bringing in another McDonald's American in big man Cole Aldrich next season. Self also landed local product Tyrel Reed, who received scholarship offers from Georgia Tech, Oklahoma and Stanford, in addition to heavy interest from North Carolina. Tune into ESPN at 7 tonight to see Aldrich in action with the rest of college basketball's future stars in the McDonald's All-American game. Next year's squad has a chance to be one of the most exciting to ever lace them up at Allen Fieldhouse.

That backcourt would be lightning quick and have a chance to run and gun as much as the 2001-2002 Jayhawks who went 16-0 in a strong Big 12 Conference and started Aaron Miles, jeff Boschee and Kirk Hinrich. The only concern with such a squaw would be the loss of Rushs rebounding at the small forward position. What the squaw would lack in size it could overcome with speed and quickness. The 2002 squad had no trouble rebounding despite starting the 6-foot-3 inch Hinrich at small forward. Another concern could be defending a true wing like Arron Afallo or Corey Brewer, but so few of these players exist in college basketball today. Despite the losses of Rush and possibly Darrell Arthur (he's not ready, but the NBA drills based on potential, and Arthur oozes it), Kansas appears to be a top-five team entering next season. Self will finally have his plan in place to coach a team like the one he put together at Illinois before bolting to Kansas, which featured Dee Brown, Deron Williams and Luther Head. The post rotation will go a solid four deep and expect someone like Rodrick Stewart, Brady Morningstar, Jeremy Case or Reed to emerge as a solid role player off the bench on the perimeter. While this may not have been Self's season, his time in March will eventually come. While Florida fans will soak up their repeat trip to the Final Four, they will be sweating out the possible loss of Billy Donovan to Kentucky. Ohio State better enjoy its one dance in the spotlight because the Buckeyes will likely lose Greg Oden and Mike Conley next season. Kansas fans may not be in Atlanta this year, but they can be assured that as long as Self is at the helm, the Jayhawks will cut down nets and put up banners.

Pride Fighting Championships, in a deal that will establish megafights among the outfits' titleholders and possibly attract huge pay-per view audiences. Company executives declined to comment on the sales price, but a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press that brothers Lorenzo and Frank Fertita will purchase the Japan-based Pride for less than $70 million. The person was not authorized to speak to reporters and spoke on condition of anonymity. The deal was completed Tuesday and was announced during a news conference in Tokyo, where Lorenzo Fertitta has been negotiating with Nobuyuki Sakakibara, the majority owner and chief executive of Dream Stage Entertainment Inc., Pride's owner. "We have been talking to Pride. for probably about 11 months," Lorenzo Fertitta said. "It's been a long, drawn out process but we finally we were able to put the two brands together." To buy the company, the brothers created a new entity called Pride FC Worldwide Holdings LLC. The newly formed company will take over Pride assets, including its trademarks, video library and valuable roster of fighters, from Dream Stage. The Fertitta brothers, who own Las Vegas-based Zuffa LLC, the parent company of UFC, intend to keep the well-known Pride name and promote fights under that brand. The acquisition marks a new phase in the brothers' quest to dominate the burgeoning world of mixed martial arts since they bought the struggling UFC in 2001.

"It will allow us to put on some of the biggest fights ever." “This is really going to change the face of MMA.” Lorenzo Fertitta said. “Literally creating a sport that could be as big around the world as soccer.

In the past, there has been at least one case in which Pride and UFC couldn't hammer out a deal to put their top fighters in the ring together. With Pride in their pocket, the Fertitta brothers intend to ensure that never happens again. Major sponsor Fuji Television Network Inc. dropped Pride in June after a tabloid linked Pride to the Japanese mob — something Sakakibara has denied vigorously. To help bolster Pride, the company staged two pay-per-view fights in Las Vegas. Neither was a financial success. The fights gained exposure for Pride but lost money, making the sale of Pride more likely. Athletics calendar TODAY Softball vs. Missouri State, 3 p.m. Springfield, Mo.

Douglas County sheriff's department spokeswoman Cocha Heyden said Marshall appeared before a judge and was released on personal recognition. Marshall was arrested Monday night in the Denver suburb of Highlands Ranch after a woman told authorities she and Marshall, whom she identified as her boyfriend, had argued earlier in the day, Heyden said. The woman reported that her boyfriend blocked her taxi with his vehicle as she tried to leave his Highlands Ranch home, Heyden said. The woman had no injuries, Heyden added. "We are aware of the situation involving Brandon Marshall," the Broncos said in a statement. "The organization takes matters of this type very seriously, and we will continue to gather information before offering further comment." Marshall's agent, Fletcher Smith, could not immediately be reached for comment. 》 MLB Cubs' pitcher struggles to avoid arm injuries ASSOCIATED PRESS Kerry Wood is out again, and Freddy Sanchez might follow him to the disabled list. One week before the Chicago Cubs were set to open the season in Cincinnati, Wood's chances of being ready for opening day were dashed by another injury. The former ace hurt his right shoulder pitching in relief Sunday and was experiencing more stiffness than usual Monday. Wood, converted from starter to reliever, will not be ready for the first game. "No, that's not going to happen," Cubs manager Lou Piniella said in Mesa. Ariz. "Let's just hope it's not serious and he can resume preparing himself. Obviously, well give him time." Wood was to undergo an evaluation from the Cubs' medical staff Monday. He appeared in only four games last season and was trying to make a comeback from a partially torn rotator cuff, an injury he chose to rehab rather than repair with surgery. "Certainly this is a setback for him," Piniella said, "It's a shame, because Kerry has really worked hard, put in a lot of time over the winter, and he was disappointed in the setback." The 1998 NL Rookie of the Year, who struck out 20 Houston Astros in his fifth major league start, has been on the disabled list 10 times in his major league career and could be headed there again. Sanchez, the NL batting champion last year, is also in danger of starting the season on the DL. The Pittsburgh Pirates' second baseman, frustrated with a slow-to-heal knee injury, sought a second opinion that confirmed the team's evaluation of a sprained right knee ligament. Sanchez was hurt turning a double play March 6. Still unable to run the bases or make sharp cuts in the field, he flew to Birmingham, Ala., to be evaluated and undergo a second MRI by orthopedic surgeon James Andrews, who found no tears or other previously unseen problems in Sanchez's knee. "It's great news on Freddy," Pirates manager lim Tracy said. "When Freddy Sanchez is ready to go, we will get him back out there." Sanchez was to resume his conditioning program Tuesday and, unless there is significant improvement in the next several days, is expected to begin the season on the 15-day disabled list. Pirates general manager Dave Littlefield said the injury evaluation field is simple: Sanchez tells the club how he feels and, until he is comfortable running the bases and moving laterally, he won't play. The evaluation was the same as we had," Littlefield said. "Basically, it's a right knee sprain and he'll continue to work back to playing."

I once heard about a poll of male British soccer fans that discovered a large majority of them would rather have their respective team win the Premier League Championship than have one night alone with the woman of their dreams. But what about an entire year? >> SECOND ROUND OR BUST Kidneys,sex disposable for a championship I would. I would rather Kansas be the NCAA basketball champions than spend an entire year with the woman of my dreams, and she's hot too. I'll keep her name my secret, though (hint: she's a British actress — I'm a sucker for accents). It's too late to sacrifice anything to get the championship this year. I'm no longer upset. It was a very successful year. It took a rare occurrence for UCLA to beat Kansas. Coach Bill Self had it right when he said the team overplayed. But hey, life goes on. However, if you could sacrifice, or do, something for a national championship, what would it be? I BY ERIC JORGENSEN KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST EJORGENSEN@KANSAN.COM Some students wouldn't give up much. One student said he would rather have a championship than a million dollars. Another said he would give up sex, but drew the line at six months. "I would permanently dye my hair red and entirely avoid all sunlight in order to emulate Matt Kleimann." Ricke said. One fan, Andrew Ricke, Rose Hill senior, had an interesting deal he would strike for a national championship. asked jayhawk fans that question and found an array of answers. Devin McCarthy, Overland Park sophomore, quickly knew what "I'd give up my car," she said. When asked if she would give up a kidney, she hesitated, and then said yes. What about a lung, though? she'd give up. While McCarthy debated how much oxygen intake she truly needed, Shawnee senior Nick Sigman jumped into the conversation. "Definitely," he said. "You only need one." Then I asked him, "Would you give up your girlfriend?" Sigman's loyalty to Kansas basketball was evident. He looked vexed. With his head in his hands, he looked up and said, "Yeah, probably." Sigman's answer made me curious — what would his girlfriend, Amy Simms, Hoffman Estate, Ill., senior, say? So. I politely asked Sigman for his girlfriend's phone number. I later called her to see how much she loved Kansas basketball and if it was more than she loved her boyfriend. Like Sigman, Simms said she would give up a lung for a championhip (too cute). Then it was the moment of truth. "Would you break up with your boyfriend for a championship?" I asked. "For a championship, sure. I guess I would." Simms said nonchantly. "We could always get back together." "No, its either him or the championship," I said. "Yeah, I'd still do it," she said. "It's a championship!" There you have it, jayhawk fans truly love their teams — some maybe even more than they love their significant other. So, if any of you out there are offered a national championship for a kidney, lung, car, boyfriend or girlfriend, do it for the rest of us. Jorgensen is a Baldwin City senior in journalism.

"When you're playing Wichita State, you're playing a traditional top-25 team," Price said about the power of the Missouri Valley. "But Missouri State is one of the best programs in the Midwest." Missouri State put up two more in the bottom of the seventh off reliever Wally Marceli. The freshman record just one out, but surrendered two runs on two hits. Murphy scored in the lawhaws' next at bat, but the late rally came up more than a little short — the story of the night for Kansas.

Hendrickson went 1-10 with a 7.41 ERA in 12 starts and two relief appearances in the majors in 2004 and 2006. St. Pierre played 10 seasons in the minor leagues for Detroit before joining the Royals as a minor league free agent in January. He was assigned to Triple-A Nashville. Maddux gives up two runs in longest outing Albert Puols got the most of his first home run of the spring and Barry Bonds put in one last Cactus League game before heading north for the start of the regular season. And that was nothing compared to the show put on by Greg Madddux and the San Diego Padres. Madddux had his longest outing of the spring, giving up two runs and striking out five in six innings, and San Diego banged out a spring-high 25 hits in a 24-7 victory against the Texas Rangers on Tuesday. Associated Press Collins won't need surgery 》 MEN'S BASKETBALL Increased strength training part of Kansas' offseason BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS Freshman guard Sherron Collins has patellar tendinosis in his left knee and will need to rest for the next few weeks. It was a relief for Collins, because it meant he would not need surgery. He learned about it after an MRI was taken on Monday. He'll rejoin the team's offseason conditioning program when he regains his strength. Coach Bill Self said on Monday that the problem plagued Collins for most of the postseason and became worse with every game. "Sherron played on one leg out in California." Self said. "It's a little more serious than what we led everybody to believe." It also affected his conditioning regimen. Collins lost 20 pounds during the season, but was unable to keep up his grueling workout schedule after injuring the knee. Self said that Collins will rest for the next few weeks. Revisiting UCLA Self said that he advised the team to take a week off and steer clear of basketball. "The first thing I want our players to do is take a week off from everything," he said. "Maybe get their books together if they're a little behind from the traveling." He said they won't be watching tape of the game anytime in the near future. The 68-55 loss on Saturday ended the Jayhawks' season in the Elite Eight. UCLA will face defending national champion Florida in the Final Four on Saturday night. Emphasis on strength After taking this week off, the players will begin their offseason conditioning next week. The team will spend extra time in the weight room working on strength. "I think every team needs to get stronger," Self said. "No matter how strong you are, you're not strong enough. I think we're much stronger than we were last year, and another good offseason in the weight room will bode well for us." Each player will receive his own individual workout regimen to fit his needs and will work out on his own. Self said the emphasis on strength was nothing new, as it is a common theme for college basketball coaches. "That's an area where we can definitely improve as a group," he said. "Get a little more mobile, stronger, more flexible." Kansan senior sportswriter Michael Phillips can be contacted at mphillips@ansan.com. — Edited by James Pinick BASKETBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B) Another player who would be able to do well in the draft is sophomore forward Julian Wright. He's projected as a top-five pick by both ESPN and NBADraft.net, but re-affirmed after the UCLA game that he was not anywhere going. He's scheduled to graduate next year and said that getting a college degree and enjoying school were important to him, so he won't be declaring for the draft. Sophomore guard Mario Chalmers also put speculation to rest with a strong statement about his future at Kansas. Freshman forward Darrell Arthur has also been mentioned as a possible high draft pick. He is more of a mystery, because he was not a starter this year, so it was tough for scouts to grade his performance in games. "I'm coming back," he said. Players can work out for NBA teams without losing their college eligibility as long as they don't hire for them and their families." Regardless of how many players leave, 2007-2008 promises to be the UCLA game that he hadn't given it a lot of thought, but that he was probably coming back. BILL SELF Men's basketball coach "We'll gather information and I'll visit with them and their families. Our goal is not to convince guys to be here if its not best for them and their families." an agent. Self said he would talk with teams after those interviews before giving any of the players advice. another strong season for the Jayhawks, with juniors Sasha Kaun, Russell Robinson and Darnell Jackson all returning as well. However, his height and size make him a candidate to go pro at some point in the future. He said after "Next year will be a great team," Jackson said. "Not a good "We'll gather information and I'll visit with them and their families," Self said. "Our goal is not to convince guys to be here if it's not best team, a great team.

"I've moved on from that," Wyoming coach Joe Legerski said. "It was a great basketball game that night. They made a few more plays than we did and got the victory." But Legerski said the circumstances will be different when the two teams meet again Wednesday night in Laramie in the semifinals of the WNIT. The winner plays either Western Kentucky or Wisconsin for the championship on Saturday. "We had the opportunity to play Kansas State earlier, and it was a great ball game, but we have to just focus on what we're trying to get accomplished and where we're trying to get is to Saturday's championship game," he said. Kansas State coach Deb Patterson acknowledged the "miracle" shot in the first game but said her team also has moved on and matured. "I think we just finally understood the intensity with which each individual on the floor needed to compete for the full 40 minutes" Patterson said. The Cowgirls (25-9) defeated Nevada, Missouri, Oregon and South Dakota State to reach the WNIT semifinals, while the Wildcats (19-14) posted victories against Southern Illinois, Illinois and Auburn in their quest for a second straight WNIT championship. Wyoming is led by Hanna Zavecz, who averages 13.6 points, 3.8 assists and 1.6 steals a game. Kansas State is led by Kimberly Dietz, who averages 13.3 points and 3.1 rebounds a game. Claire Coggins is adding 12.3 points and 3.4 rebounds. $SAVE | USED AUTO PARTS | SAVE$ We have the parts you're looking for • Foreign & Domestic parts available {Engines INSTALLATION AVAILABLE {Engines {Transmissions Starters} Alternators} (Rear Ends Wheels) (A/C Compressors Full Line of Aftermarket Parts Available • Reconditioned Wheels Auto Glass) (A/C Compressors Full Line of Aftermarket Parts Available • Reconditioned Wheels Auto Glass) Body Parts) Wheels} WE BUY CARS!

Phelps finished the race in 1 minute, 43.86 seconds. BY PAUL NEWBERRY ASSOCIATED PRESS MELBOURNE, Australia — Michael Phelps stood on deck with 50 Cent blaring in one ear, a steely determination in both eyes. When his name was announced to the crowd at Rod Laver Arena, the young American did nothing more than stare down the strip of water at his feet. Next door at the warmup pool, Phelps teammates stopped what they were doing — even those who had races of their own coming up at the world championships. They had to see this one for themselves, so they paused to watch it on a big screen. "I had a thought in my head," Aaron Peirsol would say later, "that this was going to be one of those legendary races." With four laps of the pool Thursday night. Michael Phelps wiped out Hoogle and took down the ghost of Thorpepd, leaving little doubt that we're all getting the privilege of watching the greatest swimmer ever to hit the pool. "You just can't count him out of any race that he's in," said Mark Schubert, head coach of the U.S. team. "He's obviously on a mission. He's going to be real special here — and he's going to be real special a year from now." Phelps already is special of course, his legacy cemented by performances such as his six-gold, two bronze medal haul at the 2004 Athens Olympics, or his five world records — two of them in different events on the same day — at the 2003 world championships in Barcelona. But a magical swim Tuesday night in the 200-meter freestyle might have been the best yet, a swirling symphony of wind-milling arms, flapping feet, somersaulting turns and rocket-like bursts just beneath the water line of the temporary pool. "I will say," Phelps allowed, "everything was pretty close to perfect in that race." On a night when four world records fell, three of them to the powerful U.S. team, no one stood out more than the 21-year old who loves hip hop music, video games and a pet bulldog that he had to leave back home in Michigan. The 200-meter freestyle record was one of swimming's hallowed marks, the time of 1 minute, 44.06 seconds set six years ago by Australia's Ian Thorpe, the iconic "Thorpedo." No other time on the books was within a half-second of Thorpe's landmark swim at the 2001 worlds in Fukuoka, Japan. In fact, the only other swimmer to break 1:45 was Pieter van den Hoogenband of the Netherlands. Until Phelps came along. Shaving more than a full second off his previous best and breezing right on through the 1:44 barrier, he touched the wall in a remarkable 1:43.86, leaving Van den Hoogenband more than a full body-length behind. "As soon as I took my first stride in the warmup pool, I don't know what it was, but I knew something was going to happen." The now-retired Thorpe wasn't in the pool, but. Schubert said, "it was almost like Michael was racing him without him being in the race." longed for a rematch against both men. But Van den Hoogband underwent back surgery in 2005 and needed time to recover Thorpe set on an extended break after Athens — never to return, as it turned out. He retired at age 24. Ever since then, Phelps had Phelps and Hoogie last had gone head-to-head in the "Race of the Century" — their 200 tree showdown at the last Olympics. The Flying Dutchman finished second and Phelps took the bronze in that one, both trailing Thorpe. MICHAEL PHELPS "I was sitting at my house, messing around on the computer and watching TV. Phelps recalled. "A friend of mine sent me a text message. He said ... 'Thorpe just retired. I was like, 'Nah, you're kidding.' But it was true." Phelps kept pushing on, even without. Thorpe to chase in person. He knew he would at least get a chance for payback against Hoogie, who recuperated from the surgery and made it clear he intended to reclaim his place in the treestyle hierarchy. So that's what was at stake when the two titans hit the water at the world championships. Van den Hoogenband, who is more of a spinner, intended to get out front through the first half of the race and try to hold off Phelps at the end. Instead, the American had the lead at the first flip and never let it go. "I was swimming OK," Van den Hoogenband said, "but after every turn he was pushing off and kick ing through the water so extremely fast. I was like, "Let's see what he got left for the last 50." Well, he had a lot left." In swimming terms, this was a runaway Phelps touched, spun around for a look at the scoreboard, thrust his left index finger into the air and grabbed the lane rope with his right arm — all before the Dutchman completed his last stroke, nearly 2 1/2 seconds behind at 1:46.28. "I thought the 200 freestyle record by Ian would last for 10, maybe 20 years" marveled Van den Ooandenbair, a three-time Olympic gold medalist. Phelps had no intention of waiting that long. Even though he publicly pooh-poohed the idea of breaking Thorpe's record at these championships, deep down he knew it was possible. Not long after Phelps jumped in the water Tuesday, he felt even more confident. "As soon as I took my first stride in the warmup pool, I don't know what it was, but I knew something was going to happen." Phelps said. "My freestyle never fell that smooth. It occurred to me that something special was going to happen." Phelps now seems virtually assured of winning at least seven gold medals in Melbourne, which would set him up for another shot at Mark Spitz's Holy Grail of Olympic records, those seven gold medals in 1972 at Munich.

FROMMER ASSOCIATED PRESS At Tuesday's hearing, Rob WASHINGTON — Sen. John Kerry urged Major League Baseball on Tuesday to hold off on a deal to put the sport's "Extra Innings" package of out-of-market games exclusively on DirecTV Group Inc. A top baseball official declined to agree, with opening day less than a week away, Kerry (D-Mass.) made the push at a Senate Commerce Committee hearing on behalf of subscribers to cable TV and EchoStar Communications Corp's Dish Network who had received the package previously. The dispute concerns which homes will receive baseball's new television network in 2009. DirectTV, a satellite service, has agreed to carry that package as part of its deal. The company would also receive an equity stake in the channel. Jacobson, president and CEO of IN Demand, owned by affiliates of the companies that own Time Warner Telecom Inc., Comcast Corp. and Cox Communications Inc., offered to carry the package on the same terms that DirectTV is, while putting off the issue of The Baseball Channel until it is launched. "This would ensure that for the next two years at least, all baseball fans would have access to the 'Extra Innings' package," he said. "If we're unable to reach an agreement when the channel launches, wed give baseball the right to cancel the 'Extra Innings' deal. We think this is a fair compromise." 》 PGA Kerry, often playing the role of mediator, got behind the effort. "We believe that DirectTV has the right to begin to help us build the channel." DuPuy answered, adding that the cable industry had nine months to negotiate a deal. "What's the matter with that?" he asked Bob DqPuy, baseball's chief operating officer. Golfer becomes 50th to finish 2nd to Woods Brett Wetterich was the latest. BY DOUG FERGUSON ASSOCIATED PRESS Wetterich became the 50th player to be runner-up to Woods on the PGA Tour. He was in a playoff against Tiger Woods when he failed to save par from a bunker and lost the 1996 Las Vegas Invitational. He was faced with a four-shot deficit against the world's No. 1 player in the CA Championship at Doral. He held his own, kept it interesting as long as he could, but wound up in second place and in the record books as a footnote. MIAMI — Davis Love III was the first. At least he's in good company. "Gues I had to become some kind of statistic," he said. The 50 victims include 21 major champions and 18 of the top 30 players in the world ranking, a list that goes from A (Stuart Appleby) to Z (Paul Azinger) when allowing for nicknames (Zinger). The milestone even caught Woods by surprise, based on the fact he said nothing for a few seconds and even then had little to offer except for, "Where do you come up with that?" Woods' victory at Doral was No. 56 in his PGA Tour career, and while 13 players have been runner up multiple times, there have been 12 tournaments where at least two players tied for second. In two tournaments, there was a four way tie for second. Matt Gogel (Pebble Beach) is now retired. Frank Nobilo (Western Open) works for The Golf Channel. The list includes four Ryder Cup captains — Tom Kite, Hal Sutton, Tom Lehmman and Ainger. That puts Brian Gay on the list, "Who?" Woods said. "When did I beat him?" "I wouldn't have guessed that," Woods said. "I would have thought some guys had been there more often than others." That would be the 2002 Buck Open, the only time on tour Woods' best ouddy from Isleworth finished second to him.

SCHMIDT The KU student injured during a shooting robbery in Denver has been released from the hospital. Joseph Kuebel was one of three victims shot in what Denver police said was a related series of shootings. Kuebel was shot multiple times, including wounds to his leg and back, but was released from the hospital sometime Tuesday or Wednesday. Denver Medical Health Center spokeswoman Dee Martinez said Kuebel's roommate Ian Dumpert, Lawrence resident, was still listed . in critical condition at the facility after being shot in the neck during Monday's attack. Denver police spokesman Sonny Jackson said the police were searching for two African-American men who are suspected of a series of robberies similar to the one involving the Lawrence residents. Both men wore skis masks or dark bandanas in the attacks. Between Friday night and Monday morning, six people were shot in downtown Denver. "We believe the cases to be related, and we're investigating them as such," Jackson said. Kuebel and Dumpert were leav. ing a concert along with five others, including two Kansas State University students, when two masked men reportedly approached them and taunted the group. After the men told the victims they were in a bad part of town, they allegedly took their belongs and one began shooting. Denver police spokeswoman Virginia Quinones said the other two weekend attacks had been similarly violent. "There is nothing that these victims could have done differently," Quinones said in a press release. "They complied with the suspects' demands, and they were very brazenly shot." The attack involving students occurred in Denver's Five Points area, which formerly boasted high-profile musical clubs. Alan Reece, FOX Denver assignment editor, said the neighborhood has a reputation for crime and a large homeless population. "It's not a place you want to walk around at night," Reece said.

Edited by Lisa Tilson EVOLUTION DEBATE Misinformation leads to distrust Jon Goering: KANSAN Edward Humes, author and journalist, speaks Wednesday evening at the Dole Institute of Politics. Humes, a Pulitzer Prize winning reporter, has published seven books. His most recent is "Monkey out! Evolution, Education, Religion, and the Battle for America's Soul." Author stresses need for both sides of debate to understand their rivals' arguments BY BRIAN LEWIS-JONES Pultzer Prize winner Edward Humes said Wednesday night in order to understand the evolution debate in public schools, both sides of the educational conflict must be understood. Hume's argument came from his new book, "Monkey Girl: Evolution, Education, Religion and the Battle for America's Soul," which discusses the national and regional debate between evolution and intelligent design. The book talks about the teaching of evolution and intelligent design in public schools, as well as what Americans believe about the debate. The book handles the perspectives of both evolution proponents and intelligent design advocates. "It's not just about the debate," he said. "It's about what has support and what doesn't." He said evolution is widely defined by its critics, who say the theory has never actually been observed and scaffo in the idea that humans evolved from monkeys. In this form, Humes said, most Americans are right to doubt the theory of evolution. Humes said about two-thirds of Americans doubt or reject evolution, signaling a "cultural separation of "Isn't it preferable to think of ourselves as a design of intelligence rather than related to a mollusk?" he asked. biblical proportions" between faith and science. He said the unwillingness for students to ask questions about the theories is one of the major problems in the debate. Intelligent design essentially isn't a science, he said, but instead is religious in nature. He said it wasn't wrong for teachers to teach the concept, but it presents a supernatural-creation opinion. Bill Lacy, director at the Dole SEE EVOLUTION ON PAGE 4A BUSINESS Entrepreneurial students create plans, prepare for competition BY BRIAN LEWIS-JONES The students worked in New Venture Creation, an advanced entrepreneurship course, in which they created plans to launch businesses based on innovations developed locally and at the University, Wally Meyer, director of entrepreneurship programs, said. Threeteens of student entrepreneurs from the University of Kansas will pitch business plans next month at the 2007 Shocker Business Plan Competition at Wichita State University. Abacus, a student company created in the entrepreneurship course, is composed of four students who incorporated University-developed software designed for easy online access to financial data. The program processes numerous data in a matter of seconds. If done manually, it would take all day to complete and be prone to errors, Christina Spires, Augusta graduate student and chief executive officer of Abacus, said. Spires said creating the plan required a lot of problem solving and creativity. "It's more of a work experience than anything I've had at KU." she said. anything I've had at KU, she said. Spires and her company competed in the big 12 New Venture Championship last month. They were eliminated from the tournament before the final rounds, but Spires said the group would be ready for the next tournament in Wichita. Most of her group wants the company to thrive after the competition, she said. The next step for launching the business is to get funding. Kyle Stremme, Overland Park senior, is chief financial officer of the student company University Health Systems. His team created a business plan for a sustained weight loss program developed at the University. "Our plan just takes a great service that is currently in practice and commercializes it on a broad scale," he said. University Health Systems, Abacus and J3E, a team that developed a plan for an Internet image searching tool, will compete in the competition next month in Wichita. "There's no real guidelines, there's no books to follow, you just have to figure it out as you go along." Spirres said. Kansan staff writer Brian Lewis Jones can be contacted at bljones@kansan.com. Edited by Jyl Unruh 》 NIGHTLIFE Owners hope to distance new nightclub from building's reputation BY MATT ERICKSON The building that once housed the Moon Bar, 821 Iowa St., will open its doors tonight for the first time since June 2005 — as a dance club called Club Axis with a different owner and a new look. Richie Caldon, the club's owner, said the club would use measures such as increased security personnel and a strict dress code to ensure safety. Caldon also owns Thai House, 724 Massachusetts St. The management said they would put an emphasis on safety. The Moon Bar closed in 2005 shortly after a notorious fight on its premises involving former basketball player J.R. Giddens. The fortunes of Giddens and the bar fell soon afterward. Caldon said Club Axis would institute a dress code -- collared shirts only, and no jeans, baggy pants, sideways caps or hooded sweatshirts — to attempt to create an upscale environment free of violence. "It's going to be a really good dress code, so we can prevent the more undesirable customers that come in from other places and cause problems," Caldon said. Chris Windler, Club Axis general manager, said the club would have at least eight security workers on its premises on busy nights. But Steve Gaudreau, owner of two Lawrence bars, said he didn't think Axis would be able to escape the violent past associated with its building, even though its owners had no connection to the Moon Bar. "I don't think he's going to be able to change the stigma that's attached to that location." Gaudreau said. He said he didn't think any safety measures would completely keep out the crowd that had drifted to the Moon Bar in the past. AXIS COMING SOON Club AXIS Club Axis, 821 Iowa St. opens tonight at the site of the former Moon Bar. The club will enforce a dress code and have extra security personnel on staff. The state revenue department's Alcoholic Beverage Control said the building's past did not create any problems or delays in granting Club Axis its state liquor license. "Good luck to those guys," Gaudreau said. "They just need to pull out the security in there and hope for the best." Windler said that associating Axis with the Moon Bar was unfair because nobody involved with Axis had any connection to the Moon Bar. Michiko Takei/KANSAN "A lot of people are mocking us at other bars around Lawrence," he said. Windler said he and Caldon selected the former Moon Bar building for Club Axis because its size allowed for a large dance floor, and it was near to the University campus. Caldon said he wanted to attract University students who wanted a classier, more upscale environment than other bars and clubs in 1 Lawrence. "We want to provide a place where the kids can dance and have a few drinks as well as have a controlled, safe environment," he said. 业 Kansan staff writer Matt Erickson can be contacted at merickson@ kansan.com. — Edited by Mark Vierthaler 5 1 2A NEWS quote of the day "All of us learn to write in the second grade.

Why did you decide to teach at the University? I'm British and after getting my doctorate I wanted to work in the U.S. I had a few interviews and when I came for my on-campus visit to Lawrence, I made up my mind that this was a place I could be happy in. A charming town, good school and not far from a big city. What more could one possibly want? People-watch with friends with the help of an adulterated coffee, ice tea or Hendrick's gin, depending on the season, hour and my inclination. 3. What's your favorite thing to do outside of the classroom? At 18, coming from a small town on the English-Scottish border, I decided I needed to broaden my horizons, so I moved to Paris knowing virtually no French. Later on, I went to the University of Durham in northern England founded in the 17th century. Part of it was used in the filming of Harry Potter, and unbelievably a medieval castle is used as a student dorm. 5. What's your favorite thing about Lawrence? 4. Where did you attend college? 6. What's something your students don't know about you? Downtown and its energy and relative diversity. I'm really an optimist in a cynic's body. 7. If you had any other career, what would it be and why? Well, funnily enough, I trained to be a priest for 3 years and decided to leave the seminary. I have kept in touch with friends from my year who are now ordained. It's more of a romantic notion, because the idea of sacrifice positively makes me recoil these days. Poetry classes with Dr. Hillery. He was spellbinding; you would go out of his lecture wanting to go straight to the anthology and read. I had a poetry seminar with him during my senior year. Someone always brought in wine and we would discuss Baudelaire and Rimbaud while enjoying a glass of red. Paris, I'm lucky in that I spend 3 months a year there, but this is a long-distance affair that has never diminished over the years. 9. What was the best class you took in college? 10.

Many women struggle with low self-esteem because of negative self-image. A new campaign, "You are Beautiful", is working with women in GSP-Corbin Hall to combat negative body images. hind and "" 5 Steel Dr. "Some of our women have been talking about themselves...not in positive ways." Natalie Timson, GSP-Corbin complex director said. Timson said the campaign began as a way to remind the women that they are beautiful, and others think so as well. GSP-Corbin resident Lynn Jones. Osage City sophomore, said the program was an encouraging idea because negative body issues were more prominent in an all-female hall. She said she has seen calorie-counting in the cafeteria, and laughed as she recalled telling some of the women to "have some cake, cake is good." women thinking positively about themselves without "cramming it down their throats". In order to make the campaign more passive, GSP hall staff have planned small gifts for the women. "Women look in the mirror at times and don't see the positives in life." Coming from a rural town, Jones said college pressure made negative body issues worse for women. While talking about social gatherings in a college town, said the people are "downright mean if you're a little off, a little on the chunky side". The first initiative of the campaign was writing Maya Angelou's poem, "Phenomenal Woman," on all the mirrors in GSP. Daisies were given to residents upon their return from spring break, and resident advisors left encouraging notes in their mailboxes to let the women know they were appreciated. This week, a bulletin board was hung in the lobby, on which the women can post pictures of special women in their lives. "People come up to me and say, 'Hey, thank you for putting that in my mailbox, it really made my day.'" Resident advisor Lauren Christina, Woodlands, Texas, sophomore, was pleased with the response to the program. Timson the goal of these daily reminders was to get the NATALIE TIMSON GSP-Corbin complex director Christina said. She said because many of the women are freshmen and just starting their college experience, it was important that they discovered who they are in a positive way. Other events such as a "real woman" fashion show and "Throw Away the Hate" day are being planned for April. Timson said GSP staff hope to show women, through the fashion show, that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes. "Women look in the mirror at times and don't see the positives in life," Timson said. "We want them to realize that people think they are beautiful just the way they are, and get them to see it too." Kansan staff writer Katy Blair can be contacted at kblair@kansan. com.

Cheaper labor to replace workers 》 CIRCUIT CITY BY MAE ANDERSON NEW YORK — A new plan for layoffs at Circuit City is openly targeting better-paid workers, risking a public backlash by implying that its wages are as subject to discounts as its flat-screen TVs. The electronics retailer, facing larger competitors and falling sales, said Wednesday that it would lay off about 3,400 workers — immediately — and replace them with lower-paid new hires as soon as possible. "We haven't done something called (a) wage management initiative before," said company spokesman Jim Babb. "All companies at one time or another need to go through and make sure their cost structure works with market conditions." The laid-off workers, about 8 percent of the company's total work force, would get a severance package and a chance to reapply for their former jobs, at lower pay, after a 10-week delay, the company said. nation's No. 2 consumer electronics retailer behind Best Buy Co., says the workers being laid off were earning "well above the market-based salary range for their role." They will be replaced with employees who will be paid at the current market range, the company said in a news release. The news of the laoyfs came as a surprise to Rachelle Gouled, who earns about $7.75 an hour working on the sales floor at a Circuit City in Roseville, Minn. She said she was spared but 10 people were laid off Wednesday at her store. While other companies, such as Caterpillar Inc., have introduced two-tiered wage systems, where newer workers make less, firing workers and offering to rehire them at a lower wage is very rare. "For some of them, I could see them being OK without this job," she said. "For others, it was their only job." Circuit City Stores Inc., the Circuit City declined to say how much those laid off were paid and how much the new workers would make. Company spokesman Bill Cimino said it varies depending on the market. Analysts and economists said the move is an uncertain experiment that could backfire for the chain. The risks: Morale could sink and customers could avoid the stores. POLITICS ... Democrats say attorney firings due to political intimidation WASHINGTON — Eight federal prosecutors were fired last year because they did not sufficiently support President Bush's priorities, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales' former chief of staff said in remarks prepared for delivery to Congress on Thursday. ASSOCIATED PRESS Separately, the Justice Department admitted Wednesday it gave senators inaccurate information about the firings and presidential political adviser Karl Rove's role in trying to secure a U.S. attorney's post for one of his former aides, Tim Griffin. In a letter accompanying new documents sent to the House and Senate Judiciary committees, Justice officials acknowledged that a Feb. 23 letter to four Democratic senators erred in asserting that the department was not aware of any role Rove played in the decision to appoint Griffin to replace U.S. Attorney Bud Cummins in Little Rock, Ark. Gonzales' former chief of staff, Kyle Sampson, in remarks obtained Wednesday by The Associated Press, spoke dismissively of Democrats' condemnation of what they call political pressure in the firings. "The distinction between 'political' and 'performance-related' reasons for removing a United States attorney is, in my view, largely artificial," he said. "A U.S. attorney who is unsuccessful from a political perspective ... is unsuccessful." Democrats have described the firings as an "intimidation by purge" and a warning to remaining U.S. attorneys to fall in line with Bush's priorities. Political pressure, Democrats say, can skew the judgment of prosecutors when deciding whom to investigate.

I. B. Transformed the American Dream". When Humes mentioned "Monkey Girl" to Lacy, he was invited to speak because of the topic's relevance to the area. Lacy said Humes tries to take people into worlds they are unfamiliar with by showing different perspectives fairly. "He's carved his own little niche and has been clever about it" he said. Frie Bloom, 28-year-old Lawrence resident, said he was intrigued by Humes and the topic he presented. "Two blocks from my house is a Pulitzer Prize author giving a speech for free - you can't get much better than that," he said. Humes, who has written seven books, won the Pulitzer Prize in 1989 for specialized reporting about the United States Military. Bloom said he thinks beliefs are heavily determined by age and level of education. "The story never really ends," Humes said. "It evolves." CRIME — Edited by Mark Vierthaler Kansan staff writer Brian Lewis-Jones can be contacted at bljones@kansan.com. Credit card numbers stolen from T.J. Maxx, Marshalls ASSOCIATED PRESS BOSTON — At least 45.7 million credit and debit card numbers of TIX Cos. customers were stolen from the discount retailer's computer system over several years, according to a regulatory filing by the company Wednesday. The filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission gave the first detailed account of the breach that the company initially disclosed in January. It also said another 455,000 customers who returned merchandise without receipts had their personal data stolen, including driver's license numbers. TJX owns T.J. Maxx, Marshalls and other stores in North America and the United Kingdom. TJX spokeswoman Sherry Lang did not immediately return a telephone message from The Associated Press seeking comment late Wednesday. But Lang told The Boston Globe, which first reported the filing Wednesday night, that about 75 percent of the compromised cards either were expired or had data in the magnetic stripe masked, meaning the data was stored as asterisks, rather than numbers. Lang said the extent of the damage may never be known because of the methods used by the intruder as well as file deletions made by TJX in the normal course of business. "There's a lot we may never know and it's one of the difficulties of this investigation," Lang said. "It's why this has taken this long and why it's been so tedious. It's painstaking." Avivah Litan, vice president of research and advisory company Gartner Inc., told the Globe the TJX breach is "the biggest card heist ever." "This was obviously done over a long period of time, in many locations," she said. "It's done considerable damage." Police charged six people in Florida last week with using credit card numbers stolen from a TIX database to buy about $1 million in merchandise with gift cards. In Wednesday's filing, TIX said for the first time that Dec. 18. 2006, was the date it first learned that there was suspicious software on its computer system. TJX said it believes hackers invaded its systems in July 2005, on later dates in 2005 and also from mid-May 2006 to mid-January 2007. The company said no customer information was stolen after Dec. 18, one day before it hired General Dynamics Corp. and IBM Corp. to investigate. By Dec. 21, those investigators determined that the computer systems had been intruded and that an intruder remained on the systems. TIX said it notified federal authorities Dec. 22, and on Jan. 3. TIX officials and Secret Service agents met with banks and payment card and check processing companies to discuss the computer intrusion. Framingham-based TJX is facing an investigation by the Federal Trade Commission and lawsuits from individuals and banks accusing it of failing to do enough to safeguard private data and of delaying disclosure of the problem.

Firefighters said the roof top blaze did not endanger the occupants. Charles Rex Arbogast/ASSOCIATED PRESS Small blaze scares occupants BY NATHAN HERNANDEZ ASSOCIATED 9856 ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO — Fire broke out on the roof of a 45-story office building Wednesday, sending some workers fleeing into the downtown streets. Firefighters contained the flames to equipment on the roof and said the blaze posed no danger to occupants. It was extinguished in two hours and damaged only the building's exterior. evacuation, but assisted people who wanted to come out. Authorities did not call for an District Fire Chief Gregory Lewis would not discuss a possible cause, saying it was under investigation. Two people who descended the stairs were hospitalized for exhaustion, Lewis said. Emergency workers were checking other people as a precaution. The building, just west of the Chicago River, has several commercial tenants, an Italian restaurant, a parking garage and a child care center Several children were led out of the building shortly after the smoke was reported. Some workers in the building complained that they didn't get enough information. The fire department used the building's intercom to tell workers to find a "safe place, but they didn't say what that safe place was," Geoff Hall said after walking down 16 flights of stairs. "In my view, the only safe place is home?" Hall said. 》 CHILD WELFARE Three abandoned babies linked to same mother BY GARANCE BURKE ASSOCIATED PRESS This week, DNA tests established all three babies were almost certainly born to the same mother. OROSI, Calif. — The first newborn was discovered swaddled in a blanket on a park bench, an umbilical cord still hanging from his tiny body. Then, at neat 11-month intervals, two more abandoned babies were found in parked pickup trucks in the same neighborhood. Now, in a heartbreaking mystery that has transfixed this central California farm community of 7,300, investigators are trying to find the mother and figure out what drove her to such desperate lengths. "How can the relatives not see this girl pregnant, and then see that she's not pregnant anymore and not ask where's the baby? Somebody must know something," said Hortencia Espino, 81. All three newborns were found within a two-block radius. The first two - a boy and a girl - survived and are now wards of the state. Later, under the shade of a corrugated plastic awning, sheriff's officials and grandmothers delicately sited handfuls of dirt onto her white coffin before it was lowered into the earth. On Wednesday, a Catholic church held a baptism and funeral Mass in Spanish and English for the baby girl, who was dubbed "Angelita DeOrosi" or Orosis' little angel. The third baby was found dead of exposure on the cold night of Dec. 3. She was enveloped in a sweatshirt in the bed of a pickup parked near the high school, some 60 miles southeast of Fresno. The coroner concluded she was alive for less than a day. Marely Pena, who found the infant in her father's truck, cried behind dark glasses. "I ask myself every day what if she had been alive. We could have saved her," said Pena, 25. "I just hope the mother comes forward to please just make us feel at ease." Orosi, a town encircled by fig and lemon orchards, has long been the kind of place where everyone seemed to know each other. But that is changing, with new housing As upset residents built make-shift shrines in honor of Angelita, authori- ties interviewed local women developments going up and a burgeoning gang problem that has led to a rise in violent crime. "How can the relatives not see this girl's pregnant, and then see that she's not anymore and not ask where's the baby?" On Monday, sheriff's officials After exhausting all leads, officials are asking the community for help finding the parents and are offering a $5,000 reward. Police said the mother could face criminal charges. But they also said they want to make sure she doesn't do it again and isn't in some kind of distress. physical state of danger or a mental state where she feels she can't ask for help, our heart goes out to her;" Karen Franzen, manager of Dopkins Funeral Chapel in Dinuba, which donated a casket and cemetery plot for Angela. HORTENCIA ESPINO Orosi, Calif., resident they thought might be involved. But DNA testing eliminated them as the babies' mother. The first deserted newborn was found on Feb. 10, 2005, a barely breathing boy with a body temperature of just 85 degrees. On January 8, 2006, a resident discovered a full-term baby girl inside a pickup two blocks away, clothed in an under-shirt and pants. Investigators would not speculate as to the reasons for the abandonment, such as whether the mother might have been a prostitute or a rape victim. "Whether the mother is in a It's official announced the DNA results. The first two babies probably had the same father, but Angelita was fathered by a different man. Californiaand 46 other states allow parents to legally abandon a child at a hospital or other designated safe zones within 72 hours of birth, no questions asked. Since California's law went into effect in 2001, parents have safely surrendered 182 babies at fire stations, emergency rooms and other safe havens, according to state officials. “This little community is a family. We know pretty much everyone else's business and they know ours," said Eugene Etheridge, principal of Orosi High School. "It's concerning that this could happen again when the most precious thing we have is our children."

THURSDAY, MARCH 29, 2007 WWW.KANSAN.COM See Kansan com for more opinions and Free for All comments THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN OPINION PAGE 5A 》 OUR VIEW Take responsibility in self, government If you could, just for a moment, detach yourself from the political and electoral implications of the Department of Justice firings scandal — admittedly difficult, given its titillating subplots of subpoenas, transcripts, and charges of "political theater" — try to consider the manner in which Alberto Gonzalez entered this fray. The Attorney General's original press conference, oddly delivered standing sans podium in the manner of a fourth grade book report, included his acceptance of "full responsibility" for the firings and their ensuing consequences. Impressive. no? Full responsibility! At last, here was a public servant willing to stop passing the buck! Amateur semanticists and advocates of clean government everywhere gave a small cheer, only to be crushed moments later with Gonzalez's laundry list of caveats; that he had no knowledge, that he was not privy to any discussion, that this was all news to him, etc., etc. Essentially, that despite his assumption of "full responsibility," he had nothing to do with this and no action would be taken. The Gonzales bait and switch is just the latest example in the disturbing erosion of personal responsibility among both average citizens and, more disappointingly, public officials. The concept and meaning of "taking responsibility" have been rendered moot by case after case of meaningless utterances of such. Donald Rumsfeld became notorious for it. President Bush Call 864-0500 FREE FOR ALL Trotting out the old bromide of "accepting responsibility" endangers not just the future of the term, but also our concept of responsibility itself.

It has become a staple of every post game press conference in the sports world, with coaches or star players taking responsibility for a loss.

A LITTLE BIT SOFTER NOW! A LITTLE BIT LOUDER NOW! A LITTLE BIT LOUDER NOW! 》 TALK TO US Identifying problems is easy. But coming up with solutions is much harder and that's why I am constantly amazed by the work of the group One in Four. The group is named after the frightening statistic that one in four women is raped or sexually assaulted before she graduates from college. The group consists of men who are recent college graduates who travel to college campuses to educate students about prevention and therapy through speeches and videos. There are also local chapters, including the University of Kansas', that do work on a local level. We can make rape and sexual assault less of a problem at the University by learning from the activities of One in Four. Jennifer Weaver, sales and marketing adviser 864-7666 or iweaver@kansan.com Statistically sexual assault and rape are huge problems within our society. There are many groups and programs in Lawrence working to fix this problem, but until One in Four, there was a gap in the way it was being handled. College students respond better when addressed by other college students or recent graduates. This peer education style allows us to understand, discuss and learn about rape Jennifer BY LIZ STUEWE BY LIZ STEWEU KANSAN COLUMNIST OPINION@KANSAN.COM "But Air Force isn't in the Final Four," you say? Oh, but they are. They are semifinalists in the National Invitation Tournament, the basketball connoisseur's tournament of choice. I was amazed by the power of One in Four's message and the hope it contained. The organization empowers, both male and female, college students to take responsibility and action. By teaching this in such a way that doesn't blame all men for the disgusting actions of a very, very small number of men and women. One in Four is teaching tolerance and understanding. I was about to win my office basketball pool. All I needed was Air Force to win and the 75-cent payday was as good as mine! One in Four addresses men not as part of the problem, but as a positive part of the solution. This message is more powerful and better received on campuses. Blaming an entire gender for the terrible actions of very few makes no sense, and only compounds the trauma brought to victims. I've heard a lot of people, from professors to students, address rape and sexual assault as if all men at the University are part of the problem. This just isn't true. Almost all men can be or already are part of the solution. By using the tools of nonviolence and listening taught by the organization we can all help put an end to sexual assault and violence both here and in our nation as a whole. The NCAA Tournament is billed as "March Madness," but how much skill does it take to pick whether a 16-seed will lose the opening round? This year's Elite Eight featured four number one seeds, three 2-seeds, and one "upset" 3-seed. Across America, office betting pools have been destroyed by the basketball-ignorant participant who just picked the higher seed to win each game. Stuewe is a Junior in political science and American studies. and sexual assault in an environment hat is familiar and comfortable. One in Four gives students practical advice, such as don't respond to a friend's claim of sexual assault with more violence.

There's no superstar program playing a glorified high school squad here. Each of the 32 teams is just about equal, each having been a close contender for the final few spots in the NCAA tournament. 1 Participating in an NIT pool also broadens my awareness of the world. Before filing out this year's bracket, I had no idea there was a school called Marist College. Now I know it's in Poughkeepsie, N.Y. My next order of business is finding out where exactly Poughkeepsie, N.Y. is. I realize that participating in an NIT pool might seem like a sure sign of a gambling addiction. Rest assured, these are low stakes. Two participants, each supplied fifty cents. We only incorporated money to make it seem more legitimate. I don't think that's as much as a cry for help as, say, betting my paycheck on the outcome of Groundhog Day. Air Force lost the semifinal game, leaving me tied with my coworker. I was so confident that I already had plans for spending my money. I was going to buy an eighth of a pound of Swedish Fish, and then eat them in front of my coworkers, basking in my glory. BY BRANDON MINSTER With broader parity comes more KANSAN COLUMNIST ORINIONI@KANSAN.COM The NIT format, where all games until the semifinals are played at the higher seed's home court, makes for greater fan accessibility. Playing in front of passionate fans in a packed arena will always make for better basketball than playing in a half-empty football stadium.

How many KU students had the time and money to travel to Chicago and San Jose this year? frequent upsets. The guy in the NIT pool with me chose Oklahoma State to win the entire tournament.

People who buy foreign cars are "Un-American" and forget mentioning that you listen to a foreign music artist, or watch foreign movies. We grow up believing we're the best. It's shoved down our throats in grade school and even in high school and all the nastier facts and blunders are hidden behind rose-colored glasses. We've got a high standard of living, a good economy, and individual rights that some people only dream of having in their countries. But Americans need to realize that we are far from perfect. Our world is becoming increasingly more connected. We, as Americans, need to pull our metaphorical heads out of our behinds and realize that the world cannot and will not conform to our standards. Adapt to global changing world According to Eurydice.org, at least half of all students in the majority of Europe start learning a language in grade school. Some start earlier. Many of those countries require students to start a third language, if only for a year. In Luxembourg, nearly 80 percent of all students learn two foreign languages. English is the most common language taught to European children. I've been studying French for five years now. It wasn't until recently that I've felt that I've learned anything, and I know why. To them I say this: The University of Kansas offers more than 30 different language programs. I find it difficult to believe that someone has never wanted to learn another language. Pick one. Studying a foreign language has proved to not only deepen your understanding of your native tongue, but also lead to larger salaries in the job market. The benefits of learning a foreign language outweigh the minor inconveniences. The most difficult part is over coming the notion that English is superior to every other language. Forget that English is your native tongue, and you will learn. I'm well aware that some majors have a language requirement and not all students want to learn a foreign language. Their goal is not to master it, but to pass the classes so they can graduate. And here in America, we feel that since our European counterparts are learning our language, we aren't obligated to learn theirs. Typically, foreign language courses aren't introduced until high school, and according to Actifl.org, only 43.8 percent of high school students were enrolled in a foreign language in 2000. The number is increasing, but it is still not good enough. Studies have proved that it is easier to gain command of a language when it is introduced at a younger age. Of the 19 states that reported data to the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages, only 5 percent of K-6th graders were enrolled in foreign language courses. We tend to believe English is simple. Very rarely do we stop to look at the complexities of our own language. We can think of probably three or four ways to say something in English, but why should we both attain the same level of proficiency in another language class?

He smiles but doesn't hide his needles when a pretty girl walks by, in fact, he says his hobby helps in that department. Ryan Agnew lounges in a maroon chair in the Kansas Union with something notable between his legs: Two skeins of yarn lie on the floor at his feet, and a strand from each one leads up past his lap and to the neon blue and green coozie he is agilely knitting. "It gets the ladies," he says with a sideways grin. CLOSE-KNIT FELLAS Tips to start a knitting group for men Set a date and time that works for everyone, and stick with it. Knitters like Agnew are becoming a more common sight.There has been a rise in the number of male knitters,says Annie Modies, author of Men Choose a suitable location it should be well lit, quiet and large enough to accommodate all members. → Make flies to advertise the group, then hang them in places where men who knit are likely to go yarn and fabric stores, cafes, bookstores and hardware stores. Knit in public This is a good way to meet other male knitters who might be looking for a group to join. Don't get frustrated if it takes awhile for the group to come together. When the group finally comes together, be supportive of new members so they feel as comfortable as possible. Source: Knitting with Balls, by Michael del Vecchio Who Knt & The Dogs Who Love Them. She attributes this increase to society's ability to take male knitters more seriously instead of laughing them off. "It's like when women wanted to be racecar drivers," Modesitt says. "At first, people just thought they were cute, but when they proved they could win, people started taking them seriously. It's the same with men who knit." Men were actually the first knitters, Modesitt says, but as it became a less utilitarian craft and a more social one, men left the trade behind and women picked up the slack. Since then, knitting has been seen as a woman's work not fit for a man. Recently, social boundaries have changed. Modesitt says. It's now OK for guys to like knitting and to admit that they prefer a number of colors in their clothing to monochromatic tones. She says men just have to feel comfortable in their own skins before they're ready to step outside a social norm. "We have to do what makes us happy." Modesitt says, "I just think it's a beautiful thing to see men free enough to admit what they love." Modesitt traveled the country interviewing male knitters from all walks of life for her book, but a student need look no further than campus to find one. Greg Hill, Nashville junior, doesn't consider himself a great knitter, but he has dipped his fingers in the hobby and discovered that he enjoys it. Knitting's cathartic and communal nature, as well as its ability to calm his jittery fingers, are some reasons he enjoys the activity, he says. He also likes the fact that anyone can learn to knit and the activity can bring people closer together. "A kid can learn a simple stitch and knit with his grandma." Hill says. "You can cross three generations that way. That's something you can't even do with rock'n roll." Hill began knitting when his Home Economics teacher gave him a pair of needles and some yarn, he says. It took Hill six months to finish his first scarf, which looks something like a snake that swallowed a tennis ball, he says. Although he never wears it outside, he still keeps it for sentimental reasons. Since that first scarf, Hill has completed an Afghan blanket. PHOTO/ MARLA KEOWN which he uses even though it doesn't cover him entirely. For Hill, knitting isn't always about perfection. "One of the best feelings is making something out of nothing," he says. He hasn't knitted anything lately because the weather often affects his motivation, he says. It hasn't been very cold. Hill says, so he hasn't felt the urge to pull out his needles. Like Hill, Danny Hoyt, Omaha junior, knits during the winter. He picked up the craft with the help of his mom over winter break a few months ago when he had some extra time on his hands and wanted to do something productive. For his first project, Hoyt opted to make a hat. The first one he made was too big and the second turned out too small. He was really disappointed when the second hat didn't come out right, especially because he liked the look of a blue hat with white snowflakes on it, he says. With 19 hours of classes, Hoyt says that knitting has taken a backseat for now. When he does get back into the swing of things with his knitting, Hoyt says that he intends to try another hat. "Maybe I'll make one that fits me," he says. "It'll be my first." Ryan Agnew, Leavenworth freshman, knits a coozie in the Kansas Union. Agnew began knitting after he saw a girl knitting a scarf and taught himself how with the help of the Internet. 03. 29.2007 JAYPLAY < 05 LWRNC's newest sk8shop LWRNC's newest sk8shop {longboards} dogtown sector 9 surf one talk to us @ 785.856.WCHO ™ whitecho colate™ ten-o-five massachusetts lwrnc 66044 E You're not around for 54 years unless you have something amazing to offer.

SERVING UP TRADITION PRESENTED BY JOHNNY'S TAVERN Just 'cross the bridge in Lawrence' 401 N 2nd St ALEXANDER MADNESS GRAD CHECK Paul Rudd Attended KU: 1988-1990 Major: Theater Hometown: Overland Park Back in the day: Paul Rudd says he was just a regular college student at the University of Kansas. He went to basketball games, concerts, played drinking games, ate Yello Sub, watched bands perform at The Bottleneck and went to bars like The Wheel, The Bull and The Crossing. He studied theater, but only participated in one play at KU, an experimental version of Shakespeare's Macbeth, in which there were two Macbeths — good and evil — and he was the good one. Rudd says he grew a beard and long hair for the part, but the play was at best "wired." He didntgrow upthinking he would be an actor; it was an idea given to him by his neighbor in high school when he showed an interest in improvisational comedy, radio, television and speech classes, Rudd says. He pursued acting open-mindedly until his junior year of college, when he decided that acting was what he wanted to do with his life. At that point, he left the University to go to act school in Los Angeles. Post-University life: Once Rudd figured out his career plan, he became "hyper-focused." He even wished he'd studied a little more at the University so he wouldn't have been overwhelmed in acting school, he says. His first big break was 1995's Clueless, but some of his favorite movies to work on were Anchorman, The 40 Year Old Virgin and Wet Hot American Summer, he says. After the production of Clueless, Rudd moved to New York City where he lives today, 12 years later, with his wife, Julie Yaeger and his 2-year-old son. Today: Rudd made a great group of friends at the University, some of whom he still talks to regularly. he says. Some of his favorite shows to watch are The Simpsons and the British version of The Office, which "may be the best show ever made," says Rudd, whose parents are both from London. He also learning to play the guitar, which he says he's "crappy" at, but he wishes he could record a song for the Kansan so that students could judge for themselves. Rudd is enjoying his latest project, producing *The Ten*. It's his first time producing and he says it's very different from what he's done before, but fun. He says about show business: "It really is kind of creatively fulfilling. I really love what I do. I love the people I work with. I believe everybody needs to be creatively fulfilled somehow." Rudd also says he doesn't agree with the movie stars who complain about how the business is "not glamourous." He says it's a lot of fun — even though he thinks it'd be way cooler to be a musician.

PHOTO ILLUSTRATIONS/ ANNA FALTERMEIER One KU grad shows why we aren't on Sesame Street anymore... by Sam Carlson It's about 30 minutes until show time and Paul Santos is scurrying around the Jackpot Saloon, 943 Massachusetts St. He's wearing a black shirt bearing the famous white "HOLLYWOOD" lettering, which is appropriate, considering his work is about to take center stage. Every light in the bar is dimmed except for the bright spotlights shining on the set. Crew members dressed in black from head to toe are conversing with each other and putting the finishing touches on the stage. But the audience hasn't come to see Santos or the rest of the cast. The characters they've come to see are three feet tall and made of felt. Crouchting down behind a wall, Santos holds a red devil puppet high above his head, controlling its every movement — the show has begun. As the devil's jaw flaps, Santos' voice fills the room. The dialogue picks up and laughter erupts throughout the audience. Although his talents are apparent, almost natural, Santos never thought he would be in this position. Sure, he had always been a fan of Jim Henson, but puppets were never really his thing. Now theyre practically his everything. Santos, 2004 graduate, directs, produces, acts in and writes for the adult-themed The Felt Show. "He has his mind on The Felt Show most of his waking life," says puppet maker Ben Rumback. It all started when Santos spotted a puppet in Rumback's carin in the summer of 2004. Santos asked Rumback, a former KU art student, if he would make him a puppet. Since then, Rumback has made about 17 puppets for the show. After efforts to produce a music video and other projects failed, Santos had a bunch of puppets — and no idea what to do with them. Noticing the absence of any sort of "puppet theater" in Lawrence, he decided to create a live act. He scored his first show when a friend who worked at the Replay Lounge, 946 Massachusetts St, mentioned him to the bar's booking agent. Santos put on the show virtually by himself and landed a similar gig at the Jackpot Saloon shortly after. These days, Santos has a bit more help. The group now consists of more than two dozen people and its last show was a two-hour performance in front of a large audience. His duty to the group is almost like a full-time job, says Santos, who also works for a freight company in Kansas City. Sometimes he spends his breaks at work calling cast and crew members about the show. THE PUPPETS "There's maybe a couple hours of the day that I don't think about it." Santos says. Because the shows are not yet profitable, cast members do not get paid. But Santos hopes that will eventually change. "My goal is to make this into something that people who are working on can be supported by," he says. The show earned $500 from its most recent performance. However, Santos recently spent$ 1,000 on wireless microphones. He pays out-of-pocket for everything, from promotional T-shirts to the puppets themselves. All revenue from the shows goes back to Santos, who says he's still working toward making back his initial investments. But maybe more importantly than his monetary contribution is his devotion to the group and his fellow members. "He's extremely driven, and I think he just wants nothing more than for the show to succeed, but he also wants everyone to succeed within the show," says Gabe Dorsey, an actor in the show. Santos hopes to soon book a show at a larger venue, such as the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St. or Liberty Hall, 644 Massachusetts St. He says he would also like to take the show on the road with possible performances in the Kansas City area and Norman, Okla. For these goals to become reality, Santos says the group must recruit more members and adopt a more stringent practice schedule. Members currently meet when their schedules allow them to usually about twice a week. Looking ahead, Santos, who considers himself an "idea man," wants to have creative control in whatever position the future holds for him. "If you don't want to have a regular job, you essentially have to create your own job," he says. Judging from his dedication, it could be awhile before Santos puts down the puppet.

The game came to life in 1953 when David N. Mullany of Shelton, Conn., decided to reshape a playing ball for his son so that it would curve easier. Mullany carved some holes in old, spherical Coty Perfume packaging that was made for cosmetic cases. The plastic cases were half-spheres, so Mullany glued the halves together, resulting in a makeshift ball. The gear: All you need is a ball, some bats and some bodies. You can purchase plastic bats at most discount and sporting goods stores. Players on defense use their bare hands to catch the ball. The rules: Play requires at least two people, a pitcher and a batter, but up to 10 people can play per game with five players per side. The game resembles baseball in that there is a batting team and a defending team, but there is no base running. Three sections exist for scoring; single, double and triple markers. If the defense does not catch the ball in flight, the offense scores according to where the ball is hit. Batters receive strikes for swinging and missing at the ball, having their hit ball caught or having a ground ball stopped before it reaches a marker. The appeal: Wiffle ball can be played in small, congested areas such as parking lots or backyards, without great risk to property because of the lightness of the ball. "I've played Wiffle ball in my backyard every summer for 10 years," says Max Hire, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore. "Every time it gets warm, my friends and I go to the dollar store and stock up on plastic balls and bats." As few as two players can play the game of throw and hit. ording t. Batters winning and s o m e pitchers can get the ball moving up to 80 mph. Though it's not a cardio- heavy sport because there no running involved, it does help players with hand-eye coordination and skill. "I really enjoy the ultra-competitive nature of the sport. It's probably one of my favorite obscure sports," says Jason McCandless; Lawrence freshman. "Anywhere you can find space is a good place to play, especially the many parks in Lawrence."

MARBOUR LIGHTS SINCE 1936 . 1031 MASSACHUSETTS 08 $\rightarrow$ JAYPLAY 03.29.2007 MACHO MOTIVATION Research shows that images of muscular men in the media can depress regular guys and lead to unhealthy eating and exercise habits. Y HEALTH векхам by Elyse Weidner After watching the movie Troy and seeing the 40 pounds of sculpted and toned muscle Brad Pitt gained for his role, Chris Brown and his roommates went home and looked up the workout routine Pitt followed while preparing for the movie. It was aesthetic results like those seen on the big screen — looking stronger and more toned — that were the primary motivators for Brown, Oberlin senior, a few years ago when he began to exercise and lift weights on a routine and regimented schedule. Today, Brown's commitment to his strict strength and weight training routine is motivated by ambitions of a future career in law enforcement. But he remembers that a few years ago his only goal was to "look big." Trying to reach those results, images of the "ideal" body image projected by the media that Brown now realizes are nearly impossible to duplicate, often became immensely frustrating, he says. When men are exposed to images of muscular or overly toned bodies, they become depressed and disatisfied with their own appearance, says Stacy Tantleff Dunn, director of the laboratory for the Study of Eating. Appearance and Health at the University of Central Florida. In 2004, Dunn began one of the first studies that eventually showed that men, as well as women, were vulnerable to concerns about appearance. The study, titled "The Impact of Media Exposure on Males' Body Image" and published in a 2004 edition of The Journal of Social and Clinical Psychology, divided a random sample of male undergraduate students into one experimental group that watched a 30-minute television show with exclusively appearance-related commercials containing ideal male images. The control group watched the same THE DISSATISFACTION MEN FEEL ABOUT THEIR BODIES AFTER BEING EXPOSED TO IDEAL BODY IMAGES PROJECTED THROUGH THE MEDIA CAN FORCE MEN TO PRACTICE UNHEALTHY WAYS OF DUPLICATING THESE RESULTS. television program but saw only nonappearance-related or neutral commercials. The participants were polled before and after the experiment in regard to their general feelings of anxiety, depression, body image and satisfaction with their overall appearance. The study showed that men who had been exposed to the appearance-related commercials became significantly more depressed and more likely to report high levels of muscle dissatisfaction. The dissatisfaction men feel about their bodies after being exposed to ideal body images projected through the media can force men to practice unhealthy ways of attaining and duplicating these results, such as extreme dieting, dangerous workout routines and steroid use, Dunn says. Media projections of muscular images led Chris Barlett, a graduate teaching assistant at K-State, to research whether handling action figures with exaggerated and extreme muscles would lead male participants to feel worse about their own bodies, and if it did, why it was happening. In his study, published in Sex Roles: A Journal of Research in December 2005, randomly assigned groups of college-aged men handled action figures with varying degrees of muscularity. One group was asked to hold figures with extreme muscle depictions, Barlett says, such as wrestling action figures or figures of the Incredible Hulk. Another group handled figures with less pronounced muscle definition and the third group never saw an action figure upon entering the laboratory. Those handling the action figures were asked to position the figures in a number of poses, forcing them to touch and feel the level of muscularity in the arms, legs, abdomen and pectorals of the figure, Barlett says. After holding and positioning the figures for 10-15 minutes, participants were asked to fill out questionnaires about their PHOTO ILLUSTRATION/ ANNA FALTERMEIER self-esteem and body image. The result was that the men who handled action figures with exaggerated and more pronounced muscles felt worse about their own bodies. Barlett says that when men handle this extreme degree of muscularity they tend to think they will never be able to accomplish this level of strength — a frustration that can lead to depression about their own bodies. Images within the pages of Men's Health, a magazine with a circulation of more than 1.8 million readers, are meant to be inspirational, says Adam Campbell, the publication's sports and nutrition editor. He says that although most men don't boast the same lean and defined physiques often depicted in the magazine, the potential is there. Most guys could use the images and expert advice found in Men's Health as encouragement to do better, Campbell says. Campbell also says that the media may be touting the lesser evil in categorizing lean and fit images as a negative for men's health. Perhaps a bigger problem in the United States is that too many men aren't concerned enough about their bodies. When you consider that belly fat is strongly linked to heart disease and diabetes, he says, the quest for six-pack abs isn't simply a shallow pursuit.

THINK YOU HAVE A BETTER JOKE? E-MAIL ME AT HAWKTOPICS@KANSAN.COM Chris Raine NOTICE SWITCH YOUR A Make the change to sexier underwear and improve your mood. by Laura Evers In college, young women should have fun, go out and enjoy their time in school. Along with all the excitement, though, many young women can begin to feel sad because of the pressures of academic success. But according to one psychologist, feeling happier can be as easy as changing your underwear. Maryann Troiani, a psychologist and co-author of Change Your Underwear, Change Your Life: Quick & Easy Ways to Feel Fun, Exciting and Vibrant, says the underwear a woman chooses says a lot about her general mood and self-confidence. Troiani discovered the importance of underwear in relation to women's self-worth when she surveyed more than 500 women who were leading happy, confident lives. "We asked the women what made them feel good about themselves and underwear kept popping up," she says. It wasn't long before the surveys began to show some patterns: certain styles and colors of underwear reflected a positive frame of mind in women. For example, women who wore yellow underwear were more energetic and creative, while those who wore green underwear were more stable and generous. Katie Self, Lawrence senior, has noticed the effect of underwear on her own mood as well. According to Self, wearing cute underwear always makes her feel more attractive than if she were wearing plain underwear "It definitely makes you feel better about yourself," she says. Interesting, considering the other side. Women who were often depressed or unhappy wore cotton underwear in basic white or black every day without ever wearing something more daring. The key to letting underwear change your overall mood, Troiani says, is trying something new, like a colorful thong or something high cut to make you feel sexier and better about your body." The problem with plain white panties is they hide womany graces and curves,"she says."Color shows real individuality.If you always wear white, be experimental and try something more sexy and mysterious." The trick is getting rid of all the old "frumpy" underwear that can lower your mood, Troiani says. She suggests women make the leap to a more daring style for a few weeks and watch as their moods improve. Then throw away all of your old underwear."Don't feel frumpy anymore," Troiani says. "You should buy new underwear at least every six months, but three times a year is ideal." Changing your underwear can do more than just heighten your mood. This wardrobe change can also help spice up your romantic relationships. Troiani suggests playing what she calls "The Underwear Game." Wear a different color panty each day. Then, instead of showing your partner, simply lean over and whisper the color in your significant other's ear once a day. At the end of the day, the couple is giggly and playful, Troiani says. "It takes only two seconds and it can make a relationship fun and give it a real spark," Troiani says. The reaction a woman gets from her partner has the potential to make her more confident. When a woman wears a sexier type of underwear, she can begin to feel better about her body, and the new positive attitude can begin to rub off on her partner, strengthening their bond. Megan Mercer, a former KU student, agrees. "There are a lot of stipulations about how certain groups of people should dress and act, but when it comes down to it, you're all naked under your clothes, just like everyone else," she says. Besides the reactions that can be brought about by others who see the underwear, adding a personal touch to your unmentionables can help reflect individuality, even if you aren't allowed to show it on the outside. Graduation leads many girls into the workforce, dressing in a basic black suit from day to day. Troiani suggests wearing lace underwear or pantyhose without underwear at all under your professional uniform."You can conform to what society wants on the outside while being feminine and sexy underneath your clothes and no one needs to know," she says. The bottom line (excuse the pun) is: If you want to feel sexy, adventurous, daring and like an overall different person, make the change. As we enter into spring, experiment with new styles and vibrant colors. Change your underwear style and see if it changes you.

I MADE HIM A REALLY NICE DINNER AND, IN AN ATTEMPT TO BE HONEST, I TOLD HIM HOW GREAT I THOUGHT HE WAS AND HOW EXCITED I WAS ABOUT GETTING TO SPEND THE EVENING WITH HIM. HE SEEMED GRATEFUL, BUT IT'S BEEN THREE WEEKS AND HE HASN'T CALLED. HOW COULD I HAVE BEEN SO WRONG IN INTERPRETING THE EVENING? PATTI, SOPHOMORE You cooked him dinner? On the first date? Please tell me your idea of a "really nice dinner" is popcorn or microwavable Mac 'n Cheese. It sounds to me like you went all out, and that's exactly the problem. You were trying too hard. Of course he'll appreciate the nice dinner, but if that's how you treat him from day one, when he's done nothing to deserve you yet, you have just set a (really awful) standard. You've let him know by your eagerness that he doesn't have to work to impress you. You've sent him the message that you're so eager to be his girlfriend you're ready to compete with world-class contortionists to please him. Men can smell desperation like dogs and unfortunately, whether you realize it or not, you're desperate. And that sends men running for the hills. According to Sherry Argov, author of Why Men Love Bitches, there is one notable exception. Wear a black lace teddy for him and first he'll have sex with you. then he'll go running. I hate to say it, but you've probably lost your chance with this guy. Next time, demonstrate you know your worth by having him take you out to dinner. Let him pay. Make him prove to you he really wants you. As I've said before, slow and steady wins the race. MY GIRLFRIEND SAYS SHE DOESN'T WANT TO HAVE SEX UNTIL SHE'S MARRIED, BUT I'M A 21-YEAR-OLD GUY AND I WANT TO BE HAVING HOT SEX! I'M GETTING REALLY FRUSTRATED AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I'M THINKING WE MIGHT HAVE TO GO OUR SEPARATE WAYS. AM I BEING A TOTAL JERK HERE? ALAN, JUNIOR I don't think the question is really whether you're being a jerk, but how much you love your girlfriend. The truth is, if she wants to wait, then if you really love her you won't force her to sleep with you. True love accepts people unconditionally and doesn't want to hurt them in any way. If you really want to have sex, then perhaps the right thing to do is to leave her, knowing that the two of you have different expectations for the relationship. But if you really are crazy about her, waiting wouldn't be so bad. There's more to a relationship than the physical stuff, and if she's the girl for you, then just being with her can be amazing. Of course you would want to sleep with her, but if you have so much fun just spending time with her and she makes you feel so good, than waiting to have sex is a tolerable sacrifice. So it's up to you. The sex issue, rather than being an issue in and of itself, might just be highlightting the strength (or lack thereof) of your bond. And also, is she willing to engage in anything sexual? Sex doesn't have to be the only way to enjoy each other physically. If it's just too much for you though, then it would be best to go your separate ways. She can find a nice church boy and you can pick up a (not too) nice girl in the deltoid section at Priscilla's or Naughty But Nice. 12 ⇒ JAYPLAY 03.29.2007 Please send your questions and concerns to bitch@kansan.com CONTACT SÃO PAULO, MADEIRA - DE JANEIRO DO CENTRO ABRIL 2013 FRIENDS WHO FIGHT (left) Members of the KU Capoeiria Club watch two capoeiristas in combat. (below) Alaide Vilchis, club president, and Leah Goldblatt, Kansas City, Mo., freshman, greet each other before beginning a match. KANSAS JYHAWKS KANSAS JYHAWKS KANSAS JYHAWKS KU KANKA JAKARTA PHOTOS/JON GOERRING Relationships formed between opponents are a key part of capoeria, a Brazilian martial art. - by Matthew Foster Dancing, singing and joking around probably aren't the first things that come to mind when describing a martial art. But in capoira, these social aspects are just as important as the discipline itself. During meetings at the Student Recreation and Fitness Center, members of the KU Capoeira Club, known as capoeiristas, ignore the somber environment of the martial arts room and clap their hands and sing in celebration of the 400-year-old Brazilian martial art. Watching the capoeistas move across the padded floor, it's unclear whether each pair is engaging in combat with high-reaching kicks or dancing to the Hispanic rhythms coming from a boom box in the corner. Even after the leaders of the group begin to give instructions about proper movement, it still doesn't seem like this could be a martial arts lesson — after all. one of the five pairs brakes off by themselves to compete in a spinning headstand contest. Eventually everyone makes it through the motions demonstrated by Jacob Dysart, Overland Park senior, and the club's president, Alaide Vilchis, Mexico city junior. With the berimbau strung and the capoieistas in a circle, the group claps and repeats each verse sung by T.J. Staley, Battery Hill, Ala., graduate student. The roda is formed and, within it, capoiae is performed. As the group begins to form the roda, which is Portuguese for circle, Dysart strings up his berimbau, a percussive instrument with one string that resembles a bow. Dysart explains that a roda can include up to three berimbaus and that the number determines the pace of the exercise. According to Vilchis, one of the songs in the roda roughly translates to "Capoeira: It's defense, attack, movement of the body.It's trickery." Trickery is malandragem in Portuguese. Vilchis believes that malandragem, as well as verbal and physical dialogue, is a big part of the roda because the circle is reflective of the relationships that are found in everyday life. "As the song says, capoeira can't be categorized as only a fight, or definitely not a dance, or only trickery." Vilchis explains. "Capoeira is all of them put together." "I often think of a roda as something that and all the interactions in it," says Vilich, who has practiced the art for more than four years. "Sometimes things can get ugly and you might get kicked, and sometimes everything goes well and as planned. Not every day is perfect, just as not every game you play in roda is perfect." Besides the lessons learned in roda from malandragem, Dysart also says that verbal dialogue is important because capoireistas have to explain to each other what they are doing and why they are doing it during training. Dysart explains that this type of dialogue may not be the most important type that takes place in capoireia though. Dysart, who has studied the art for two years, also describes what he calls physical dialogue. "You throw a kick and they escape from the kick," he says. "It's like saying hello and having a response." Dysart says that to learn how to effectively attack and defend, the participants must understand themselves as well as the other capoeirina. This view of combat may seem counterintuitive, but it actually helps build relationships within the capoeira community. "If somebody gets hit in capoera, which happens all the time, it's not the person who kicks who is at fault — it's the defender's fault for not getting out of the way," he says. Dysart, Vilich, Staley and Leah Goldblatt, Kansas City, Mo, freshman, also participate in a capoera group in Kansas City. Amongst these more experienced capoeiristas, terms like hit, kick, trick and takedown aren't the only prevalent themes. There are also many sentiments of how much the members rely on each other. "We are an extremely tight-knit group of people," says Goldblatt, who has practiced the art for four years. "Although we all have lives beyond capoeira, when we're there training and playing in rodas and performing, we're all a family. When something happens to one of us, other group members are there to congratulate, comfort, or joke with you." > WHAT IS CAPOEIRA? Capoeira is a 400-year-old Brazilian martial art. It was developed by African slaves and the indigenous people of Brazil. "Because of coming from a slave background, capoeira is very social," says Jacob Dysart, Overland Park senior. "You had to get to know people because those are people that you have to survive with." Dysart says capoeira appears very acrobatic because the slaves weren't allowed to practice martial arts, so they disguised it with dance and music. $\Rightarrow$ Capoeira has two basic components: roda (the game) and luta (the fight). Dysart has studied the art for two years and says that most of the relationship building happens during the game, which is all about dialogue.

SUNY PHOTO/COURTNEY HAGEN Orielle Pauley, Kansas City, Mo., senior, works on a computer at Anschutz Library. by Courtney Hagen When the lights go out for the night and most Lawrence residents have sleepily crawled under the covers or drank their last sip at the bar and arranged a ride home, some individuals are starting their workdays. Follow the steady blinking yellow of Lawrence stoplights, through the quiet streets and into libraries, coffee houses and bakeries and you will find them, the often unrecognized nocturnal crowd. They work the graveyard shift, baking bread, serving coffee, cataloguing books or cleaning up. They fight sleep deprivation, lack of motivation and the still, sullen loneliness of the night. According to a 2005 Sleep in America study from the National Sleep Foundation, 71 percent of adults reported that they got less than eight hours of sleep on weekday nights. Lawrence's bleary-eyed night shift workers are living reflections of this. On any given weeknight they can be found working and waiting for the sun to come up. These are just a few of their stories from one sleepless Lawrence night. Midnight to 1 a.m. — Anschutz Library Orielle Pauley, Kansas City, Mo., senior, runs back and forth behind the front desk on the first floor of Anschutz Library. She's worked the same midnight-4 a.m. shift for two years now. She says she has just now gotten used to her odd nocturnal schedule. She relies on lulls at the library to get her own homework done while her fellow students are burning up the midnight oil studying. When she gets off work she tries to catch a few hours of sleep before she goes to class. To make up for everything, Pauley says she normally sleeps about 20 hours on the weekends. In spite of the long hours, she says she enjoys her job and the interesting stories she gathers from it. 1 to 2 a.m. — Pizza Shuttle The smell of hot tomato sauce and melting cheese fills the air as Avery Brow, Lawrence sophomore, jumps in his car to deliver pizzas for Pizza Shuttle. He works from 5:30 p.m.-4 a.m. most weekdays and all night on Saturdays. While free pizzas (thanks to employee goofs or unresponsive deliveries) are job perks, the shift still interferes with Brow's sleeping schedule. He has had to deal with some bizarre deliveries on the late-night job, including one instance where a group of children placed and order and then tried to jump in his car to grab the pizzas as soon as he pulled up, he says. Experiences like this sometimes make him regret that he doesn't have a normal job. He also feels bad about missing out on quality social time. "When I'm working a shift I can't really go out after I get off work, and I know I'm missing out on some things during the week," Brow says. He tries to make up for it by setting aside his Fridays to spend making memories with friends. 2 to 3 a.m. — Hashinger Hall Lauren Eby, Topeka sophomore, kicks it at the sleek front desk of the newly renovated Hashinger Hall from 11 p.m.-3 a.m. She says the interesting people she meets each night keep her going until the wee morning hours. Eby socializes with most people who walk through the door, which can sometimes be complicated for her when she needs to regulate behavior. "There's always the problem when it's your friend that's breaking the rules, but usually people understand." Eby says. She'sscheduledherselfforlate morning classes each semester to accommodate her schedule, but says that sometimes she CONTINUED ON PAGE 16→ 03. 29.2007 JAYPLAY < 15 < CONTINUED FROM PAGE 15 still misses out on sleep. She sometimes covers a shift until 6 am., so she doesn't get to feel her head hit the pillow on those days. 3 to 4 a.m. — Muncher's Bakery A fine mist of powder and glaze floats in the air at Muncher's Bakery, 925 Iowa St., as Damon Brooks knends dough and fries donuts. Bathed in the yellow glow of neon lights, with the heavy smell of sugar and fresh pastries filling the air, Brooks, Kansas City, Kan., freshman, works from 2-7 a.m. Monday through Friday. When most people are shutting their eyes for a night of sleep, Brooks is waking up to head into work. He bakes. cleans and helps the occasional customer during his shift,"All the normal things someone would do in a food place, just during the middle of the night," Brooks says. He has stopped sleeping in one chunk and instead catches naps throughout the day whenever he has time. He tries to finish all of his homework before he goes into work and attempts to catch a quick nap before he heads to his first class, he says. CHIE Even with the tiring schedule, Brooks says he still enjoys his job. He likes the occasional customers who wander in at two and three in the morning, even if most of them have been out at the bars. He says he's seen most of Lawrence walk through Muncher's doors while he's been working. PHOTO/ ANNA FALTERMEIER Lauren Eby, Topeka sophomore, checks in residents during the late-night shift at Hashinger Hall. Eby scheduled her classes for late in the day so she could work late. "I've met professors and business owners." Brooks says. "Whenever I go out I see people that recognize me from Muncher's." 4 to 5 a.m. — Java Break Sometimes work is so boring and slow in the last few hours of the dark night during her shift at Java Break. 17 E. Seventh St., that Courtney Heston resorts to playing with her yo-yo or making grocery lists. The 18-year-old Lawrence resident works from midnight-8 a.m. making food, preparing drinks and brewing coffee behind the flier-and-sticker-plastered counter. Most of the time she works there are University of Kansas students also there studying and getting their caffeine fix, she says. Sometimes things can get out of hand that late at night though. OAKLAND Damon Brooks, Kansas City, Kan., freshman, works the graveyard shift at Muncher's Bakery, 925 Iowa St. PHOTO/ ANNA FALTERMEIER like when a drunk customer came in around 5 a.m. and told Heston that he wanted to take her and duct tape her into a box to keep in his apartment."I just kind of went and hid in the back until he left," she says. Sometimes the faces of customers start to blur and the night gets so long that Heston sometimes forgets what day it is. She once tried to get some business transactions done for Java Break before she realized that it was a Saturday and things were closed for the weekend. She relies on sleeping the day away to keep her mind clear and stay rejuvenated for another day at work, but says it's hard to find time to both sleep and get done everything she needs to do in the daylight hours. After all, by the time her workday is done, Lawrence is just waking up to start a new one. TALIB KWELI Tues.

Just being able to go to places I wouldn't on my own, it's definitely an addiction and a very interesting lifestyle; going home sounds almost daunting because I'm only there a few months out of the year. Q: DID YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO ENJOY LAWRENCE AGAIN BETWEEN SHOWS? I made sure initially that we stayed in a hotel on Mass. Street so that everyone could enjoy downtown. I got to run around, and I even booked myself a really late flight out so that I could hang around Lawrence a few extra hours. Q: ANY OLD HOT SPOTS YOU HAD TO VISIT WHILE BACK IN TOWN? I definitely had to get Papa Keno's pizza and some of the other standards. I used to spend a lot of time at the Replay and drinking coffee at Henry's. But I also tried to check out the new things since I've left. Downtown is definitely one of the best parts about Lawrence. Matt Elder THIS WEEKEND Despite recent closings of several local galleries, art still lives in Lawrence. At 7 p.m. tonight, check out the SEED artists' lecture series at 4-1-1 Studio, 411 E.Ninth St.The monthly SEED lectures, which are free and open to the public, are a gathering place for anyone interested in local and contemporary art. This month's featured artist is Shawn Bitters, a local printmaker, who will give a 30-40 minute lecture and then answer questions about his work. SEED began as an alternative way for local artists to display their work, according to founder Leslie vonHolten. She says that art needs a community for inspiration and growth, and that SEED is a forum that brings artists face to face with their community. Jaime Netzer W WESCOEwit Girl: What?

And when you take the vocalist of Blur, the guitarist from The Verve, the drummer from Fela Kuti's band and the bassist from the Clash, and put them all under the direction of Danger Mouse, producer for Gorillaz and Gnarls Barkley, you end up with one of the most THE GOOD: THE BAD & THE QUEEN promising supergroups since the Traveling Wilburys. And they share their name, The Good,The Bad and The Queen, with their recently released debut album. Each of these members brings a piece of his background to the table, melding 20 years of Britpop, West African rhythm and contemporary hip-hop perfectly. The project is mostly influenced by vocalist Damon Albarn, the former Blur frontman and the de facto leader of the team. The instruments used and genres spanned on the album can be summed up in two words: diverse and exciting. Reign Over Me MOVIE Zach White Adam Sandler has finally grown up. The 40-year-old comedian/actor/singer has not sworn off his antics of old (case in point: 2006's Click), but Sandler — who gave a generation of boys enough persian slang to last a lifetime — has more range than our still-resentful parents might give him credit for. FEDERAL NATIONAL GOV'T OF CANADA In his latest film, Reign Over Me, Sandler plays Charlie Fineman, who is, err, not so fine (there's nothing like a little name-character paradox). His inability to cope with the loss of his family in the 9/11 attacks has led Fineman, once a successful dentist, to suppress his pain to the point that he no longer acknowledges his past. Long-haired and gruff (it even looks as if Sandler accumulated some acne for the part), Fineman wheels through New York City side streets on a go-ped, while music-blaring headphones act to shield him from the outside world. When Fineman is hailed down by his old dental school roommate Alan Johnson, who has some problems of his own, Johnson feels obligated to lend support. The obligation becomes a friendship; the support, mutual; but as they get closer, Johnson (the always solid Don Cheadle) must face the task of getting Fineman psychiatric help. The film is the first to give insight into the small-scale effects of 9/11. It strikes a healthy balance;heavy, but never overbearing;funny in parts,but there aren't any tallywhacker jokes.Most importantly, it's genuine,not contrived,as many of the Hollywood tear-jerk dramas have the tendency to be. ★ ★ ★ ★ Ian Stanford ALL RATINGS ARE OUT OF A POSSIBLE FIVE STARS.

PHOTOS COURTESY OF JAIME NETZER When I was 13 and my sister Shelly was 11, I nearly drowned on a family vacation. My cousin had been jumping off of the side of my raft, until it turned over. My legs were tangled in the rubberberry plastic and I couldn't free them. Then, from behind me, I felt small hands clearing my feet from the raft. I breached the surface of the water to see Shelly's face peeking out from above her raft. "I could swim to you really fast 'cause I was on this thing," she grinned. In some way or another, Shelly has always looked out for me. My sister Shelly, whose full name is Rachelle, fell in love before I did. She also moved away from home before I did and got her first kiss long before I did. Shelly is the reasonable, practical sister — she is my voice of sanity when my own goes missing. I go to her as any girl would her older sister — but Shelly is younger than I am. She doesn't party as hard as I do and she scolds me when I drink too much coffee. She's the one who gives me relationship advice. We speak on a daily basis and hang out several times a week. Often,peoplethinkwe'retwins. Acquaintances moan to me, "Man, I saw this girl on campus the other day and she looked just like you, so I said 'hi,' but she didn't say anything back..." "Must've been my sister," I reply with a smile. People usually have trouble * Shelly came into the world when I was a year-and-a-half old. As a result of some technical difficulties pronouncing "Rachelle," I began calling her DuH-Bow. This eventually morphed into a family nickname that has followed her for all of her twenty years: Bobo. I still occasionally have to explain to new friends and acquaintances why I am calling out, "Hey, Bol!" and why Shelly actually responds guessing who is older based on our looks. by Jaime Netzer to a name usually given to Teddy bears and dogs. As children, we played constantly and fought rarely. Barring one incident in which I vividly remember the fear in her big brown eyes as I chased her around the yard with a loaded water gun, we just got along, plain and simple. We built forts out of comforters strewn over metal swing set poles and mourned the loss of her first pet goldfish by burying him in a black velvet jewelry box a few inches into the sun-dried dirt beside our house. As the average lifespan increases in America, sibling relationships often last longer than those we have with dear old mom and dad. Indeed, when my parents are gone, I know that I will rely on Shelly even more than I do now. I was both proud and crestfallen when Shelly decided to go away to school. My parents and I drove her down to Springfield, Mo., and my dad's sunglasses hid his tears as we pulled away from Drury University. I didn't cry that day, but soon after I started to feel the loss the distance was creating. As she went through sorority rush and I began my junior year, we spoke infrequently. She would mention a name, and I had to be reminded who she was talking about. I had never been unfamiliar with Shelly's friends and had previously always known her teachers and the town she lived in. Each of our conversations had to start with the required updates on the past week's events before we could get into the real, mile-a-minute, excited exchanges we were used to sharing. She was four hours away, but it made a world of difference. I called her one time that fall, before she was home, from a concert and let her listen to a song over the phone. Coldplay's "Fix You" had been our song of the summer right before she left for school; we listened to it constantly. She later told me that as the drums kicked in and the soaring harmonies floated over Chris Martin's pure voice, she simply sat on the sidewalk outside of her dorm and sobbed. She didn't admit this to me until months later. That first semester was hard on her too, though she never once cried to me about it. Drury was too small and she wasn't getting the education she had expected, so, to my utter delight, she decided to transfer to KU at semester. Once she was home, we shifted right back into gear. Coming to KU in the middle of her freshman year wasn't easy on Shelly, but we were back together again and needed no time to adjust. Shelly often says to me that I'm the fun in her life, and she knows that she is the sanity in mine. As I have spun in and out of the arms of more guys than I would like to admit over the past five years, Shelly has been in two relationships. She has been with her current boyfriend for almost three years; they (and I) are quite certain that they will marry one another. Shelly has a more mature perspective on a genuine, supportive relationship than I do. The only logical option I have is to beg for her sage counsel. She offered a portion of her wisdom up this past spring. I had a crush on someone who regularly came into the coffee shop where I work, and one hot May afternoon, Shelly and I saw him there. I did my best to emanate wit and charm as he waited in line. After we had flirted and he had walked away, iced coffee in hand, Shelly and I checked him out from behind. "is it OK that I think he's really cute," I asked her. She pushed her dark sunglasses up into her brown hair, squinted her eyes,puckered her mouth a bit in concentration, and reached a verdict. "He is cute," she replied. "You should date him." Nine months later, I still am. The greatest thing about taking Shelly's advice is that usually it works out for the best. 03. 29.2007 JAYPLAY <19 Weekly Specials @ Kansan.com Thu Fri Sat Sun Mon Tues Wed $9.99 Draws (including Boulevard Wheat) 1/2 price Margantas$ 3 Amaretto Sours $5.24oz.

Last week the House approved a bill that would require a mandatory troop withdrawal and the Senate moved toward similar legislation. BY DAVID ESPO ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — President Bush and the Democratic-controlled Congress lurched toward a veto showdown over Iraq on Wednesday, the commander in chief demanding a replenishment of war funding with no strings and Speaker Nancy Pelosi counseling him, "Calm down with the threats." Bush said imposition of a "specific and random date of withdrawal would be disastrous" for U.S. troops in Iraq and he predicted that lawmakers would take the blame if the money ran short. "The clock is ticking for our troops in the field," he said. "If Congress fails to pass a bill to fund our troops on the front lines, the American people will know who to hold responsible." Bush spoke as the Senate moved toward passage of legislation that would require the beginning of a troop withdrawal within 120 days, and would set a goal of March 31, 2008, for its completion. The House approved a more sweeping measure last week, including a mandatory withdrawal deadline for nearly all combat troops of Sept. 1, 2008. Both bills would provide more than $90 billion to sustain military efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan. After passage, the next step would be a House-Senate compromise measure almost certain to include conditions that Bush has said he finds objectionable, and the president's remarks seemed designed to lay the political groundwork for a veto showdown with the new Democratic majority later this spring. Confidently predicting his veto would be sustained in Congress, he said, "Funding for our forces in Iraq will begin to run out in mid-April. Members of Congress need to stop making political statements, and start providing vital funds for our troops. They need to get that bill to my desk so I can sign it into law" One key Democrat with longtime ties to the Pentagon. Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., said Bush was exaggerating, and he estimated the real deadline for a fresh infusion of funds was June 1. Gordon Adams, a former Clinton administration official specializing in defense issues, said the Pentagon has authority to transfer existing funds between accounts. "So into June, while it's painful, it's possible" for the military to maintain operations, he said. Democratic leaders also dispute ed Bush's contention that Congress would be to blame for any funding difficulties in a war they have vowed to end. "Why doesn't he get real with what's going on with the world?" said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. "We're not holding up funding in Iraq and he knows that. Why doesn't he deal with the real issues facing the American people?" Pelosi responded to Bush with a blend of conciliation and challenge. "On this very important matter, I would extend a hand of friendship to the president, just to say to him, 'Calm down with the threats,' she said. "There's a new Congress in town. We accept your constitutional role. We want you to accept ours." ensured — including one that lasted 21 days — and Republicans bore the brunt of the public's unhappiness. In the end, the new GOP majority surrendered, and Bill Clinton exploited the episode to help rehabilitate his standing with the voters. Apart from the Iraq provisions, the Senate legislation includes about $20 billion in domestic spending that Bush did not ask for. B He got a laugh at lawmakers' expense when he said $3.5 million was included "for visitors to tour the Capitol and see for themselves how Congress works." The funds are for an underground Capitol visitor center, over-budget and still incomplete. Democrats took control of Congress in January after elections framed by voter dissatisfaction over a war that has now claimed the lives of more than 3,200 U.S. troops and cost more than $350 billion. THINKING OF GOING TO LAW SCHOOL? A few hours after the president spoke, the Senate voted 75-22 in favor of a proposal by Ron Wyden, D-Ore, to extend payments that rural counties receive to make up for the loss of revenue from federal lands. The cost was about $5 billion, to be financed by increased penalties for taxpayers who provide false information to the IRS. Be Prepared! Enroll in KU Continuing Education's new Course begins April 22! "This war must end. The American people have lost faith in the president's conduct of the war. Let's see how we can work together," added Pelosi, D-Calif. Whatever the outcome, the confrontation bore similarities to a veto fight of a dozen years ago. At the time, a new, Republican-controlled Congress promised steep spending cutbacks to balance the budget, and a politically weakened president of the other party refused to go along. The Senate bill also contains previously passed legislation to raise the minimum wage by $2.10 in three steps, along with $12 billion in tax cuts. That was well above the $8.3 billion in tax cuts that cleared the Senate earlier this year. Save $100 Register by April 16 KU CONTINUING EDUCATION The University of Kansas LSAT Test Prep Course.

Supporters believe the new gambling eventually provide $200 million a year in revenues for the state, while opponents predicted existing restaurants and entertainment businesses would be hurt and Kansas would see more social ills like addicted gamblers and broken families. The 98-page gambling proposal was drafted by a bipartisan coalition in the House and amended into a Senate bill extending the Kansas Lottery's operations before narrowly winning approval in that chamber Monday. The House's action left the Senate with the choice of demanding negotiations and attempting to draft a compromise on gambling, or accepting the House's version and sending the bill to Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, who supports it. Senate leaders described their 40-member chamber as evenly split over the proposal, leaving supporters searching for a 21st vote to pass it. And senators voted 22-18 to demand negotiations and have leaders appoint a House-Senate conference committee — buying supporters of the bill time. "This is a matter that deserves our careful attention," said Sen. John Vratil, R-Leawood. But opponents of the bill weren't giving up. They wanted to force a second vote — to accept the House's version of the bill — hoping it would fail and kill the bill. "The cost to Kansas families — the cost to small businesses in Kansas — is calculable," said Sen. Phil Journey, R-Haysville. "Hundreds of millions of dollars will be taken out of our economy." The bill would permit tourist-attracting, hotel-and-casino complexes in Ford County, Wyandotte County, either Sedgwick or Sumner county and either Cherokee or Crawford county. It also would permit a total of 2,200 slot machines at three tracks, Wichita Greyhound Park, the Woodlands in Kansas City, Kan. and the now-closed Camptown Greyhound Park in Frontenac. An additional 600 machines would be permitted once the state had contracts with developers to operate the casinos. The state would receive 22 percent of the casinos' revenues and 40 percent of the slot machines' revenues. 》 COURTS The claim against Paruk also cites a federal civil rights law in alleging that Muhammad was denied access to the courts because of her religion. Muhammad wore a niqab — a scarf and veil that covers her head and face, leaving only the eyes visible — during the October hearing in Hamtramck, a city surrounded by Detroit. ASSOCIATED PRESS She was contesting a $2,750 charge from a rental-car company to repair a vehicle that she said thieves had broken into. Paruk told her he needed to see her face to judge her truthfulness and gave her a choice: take off the veil while testifying or have the case dismissed. She kept it on. Ginnnah Muhammad, 42, of Detroit, said in the lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Detroit that Judge Paul Paruk's request to remove her veil — and his decision to dismiss her case when she didn't — was unconstitutional based on her First Amendment right to practice her religion. DETROIT — A Muslim woman whose small-claims court case was dismissed after she refused to remove her veil sued the judge Wednesday, saying her religious and civil rights were violated. Muslim woman takes Detroit judge to court Resident refused to testify without veil Enterprise Rent-A-Car Co. then filed a claim seeking a judgment of $2,000 against Muhammad. A hearing is set for April 18 before Paruk in Hamtramck district court. TH W\ Muhammad's attorney, Nabih Ayad, said that she unsuccessfully sought to get a different judge to hear the case and that she and her client plan to ask him to remove himself from the case. A message seeking comment was left Wednesday for Paruk. Metropolitan Detroit has one of the country's largest Muslim and Arab populations. The lawsuit says that because of that, others have either come before Paruk or will come before him. "Thus, future harm is imminent." "You should be able to be who you are as long as you're not a criminal or hurting other people," said Muhammad, who converted to Islam when she was 10 and runs an aromatherapy business in suburban Detroit. "I want to make sure everyone across the board is able to practice their religion freely in a democratic society" "The way I believe in Islam is that a woman is very virtuous," she said. "We should be covered when we come out. This protects me as well as other people. I believe that God wants me that way." Muhammad said she would have removed her veil before a female judge. Michigan law has no rules on how judges should handle religious attire of people in court.

The Jayhawks scored seven total runs in the doubleheader. Strong defense key to victory BY EVAN KAFARAKIS The Kansas softball team struck fast and hard in its doubleheader Wednesday against Missouri State in Springfield, Mo. The Layhawks won the first game 4-0 and the second game 3-0. In the second game of the day, the defense was strong, keeping the offense relaxed. Freshman pitcher Sarah Vertelkai threw a complete game one-hitter, striking out two and walking only one in the 23 batters she faced. She recorded 16 ground ball outs. Missouri State pitcher Melissa Porche threw for a complete game and struck out 13 lavahk batters, but it was the Jawhays she didn't strike out who made her pay. Freshman Amanda Jobe got Kansas' offense rolling in the second inning with a two-run home run. An inning later, sophomore short-stop Stevie Crisisto hit a double off the right field fence to bring in senior firt baseman Nicole Washburn. The hit was Crisosto's team-leading eighth double of the year and extended her hitting streak to 13 consecutive games. Crisosto had four hits in Wednesday's game. With the score 3-0, the team held strong defensively to close out the game and give the jayhawks their 25th victory of the season. Game One: Sophomore pitcher Val George threw a complete game three-hitter in the Jayhaws first victory of the day against Missouri State. George struck out nine and walked none to win her eight game in a row. The win put her at an 8-2 record for the season. Kansas didn't waste any time taking it to the home team. Sophomore center fielder Dougie McCaullley doubled to left center to start the game. One out later Crisosto doubled in McCaullley. Cristoo went 2-for-3 in the game and had a stolen base. Sophomore catcher Elle Pottof hit a home run and started the game with a score of 3-0. Pottert leads the team with seven home runs on the season. Freshman left fielder Ally Stanton hit her first career home run in the top of the fifth innning to set the score to 4-0. The layhaws have a five-game home stand coming up. Kansas will play Baylor this weekend at Arrocha Ballpark.

It's easy, sign with me. P ssssst. Hey Brandon, listen up. You want enough money to make it rain like PacMan Jones? You want more girls than there are in the Big Pimpin' video? I can guarantee you'll go in the lottery, just give me your signature, and everything — I mean everything — is yours. The agent, NBA prospect conversation might not go exactly like that, but it's close. Sophomore guard Brandon Rush is going to be hearing promises like that from agents and runners during the next month. Kansas students and fans all want Rush to come back for his junior season and ignore the agents' winning and dining. But Rush would be smart to listen to the whispers closely. If Rush is going to be a first round pick, as he is currently projected on NBAdraft.net and Collegehoops.net, he should enter the draft. Rush will need to listen to more than just agents and mock drafts to get a true read on where he could go in June. Kansas coach Bill Self plans to investigate and figure out draft scenarios. Ah, let's think about what it would be like for Rush in the pros. The NBA is the life. It's Mardi Gras. Las Vegas and Lake of the Ozarks Party Cove all rolled into one. "If they're a top 20 pick, then they'll have something to think about." Self said. It's definitely a step up from the life of a student. Here's an average day for a college basketball player. Wake up before 9 a.m., go back to sleep during calculus, dream about the NBA, eat the same sandwich at Chick-Fil-A you've had everyday for the past six months, dream about the NBA, crank up your iPod in psychology, sleep during the history of jazz, dream about the NBA, play "Splinter Cell" all night instead of doing homework. Of course, there's basketball too. Sounds exciting, huh? SEE DENT ON PAGE 3B Unexpected hang-ups Starting the season expecting pitching problems, Kansas has begun having serious offensive issues BY ALISSA BAUER The most frequently asked questions this preseason revolved around how Couch Ritch Price and his staff planned on replacing the pitchers Kansas lost to graduation and the Major League Baseball draft. Price knew that putting the 2007 rotation together would be time-consuming and require much tweaking. Now what was expected to be the weaker component of the team is beginning to come together. What Price didn't worry about was retaining his high-powered offense. Recently, though, the offense has been the problem. "Our players all thought we were as good as we were last year," Price said. "But those seven guys that signed are all playing pro-ball now. They know how to play in the clutch. We've still learning and will growing to a team." Center fielder Kyle Murphy is the lone senior in the layhawks starting lineup, a big switch from the senior laden crew that carried the offense in 2006. Though Murphy is one of only two starters hitting over 300 at Tuesday's consistency at the plate just isn't enough. Kansas (15-15, 2-4) lost four of its last five in the last week, including dropping a three-game series to Oklahoma State last weekend. "We we've just got to find a way to go on the road and win a series on the road at Missouri and set our selves up to beat Texas again?" Price said. "How may be easier said than done with an unexpected wriggling offense. The layhawks entered Big 12 play two weeks ago hitting a solid .308." Now, Kansas has fallen to .289 as a team. Eleven points by of 200 is no reason to panic, last year's squad finished 2006 with .294, but it's the declining run production that presents the bigger problem. SEE BASEBALL ON PAGE 4B 》FOOTBALL Mangino tackles past defense problems BY ASHER FUSCO The 2007 season is still five months away, but the Kansas football team is already hard at work trying to cure some of the ills that it suffered last season. "Anytime you can put pressure on the quarterback, it's your number one pass defense," Mangino said after Wednesday's practice. "We want to force him to throw the ball before hed like to" First and foremost, coach Mark Mangino is focused on improving his team's pass defense. However, the changes are not taking place exclusively in the defensive secondary. The coaching staff is hoping to add speed to a defensive line that had trouble pressuring the quarterback. With the loss of defensive end tice, sophomore Max Onyegbule, junior Russell Brorsen, and sophomore Jeff Wheeler have established themselves as the competitors for the two defensive end jobs. Paul Como and defensive tackle Wayne Wilder to graduation, several spots on the line are up for grabs. Two weeks into spring prac Last season. Brorsen started "Kendrick [Harper] is doing well, getting a lot of reps, and learning on the run. I like his attitude. He is a feisty guy who is very focused on his work." Senior James McClinton is the incumbent at defensive tackle and the leader of the defense. Caleb Blakesley could be the front-run- eight games and led the team with three forced fumbles. Two of those fumbles came in the victory against Kansas State. MARK MANGINO Football coach ner at the other defensive tackle spot. Among the group of moderately enforced defensive ends, Onyegbule stands out as the wild card. After being converted from linebacker to defensive end late in the 2006 season, the Arlington, Texas, native has shown an ideal combination of strength and speed. "It's important to have some speed off of the edge," Mangino said. "It squeezes the pocket and puts pressure on the quarterback and running back." "He's young, so he's still learning what to do," McClinton said of Onygebule. "He's going to be a good player, a good athlete. He's having an impact out there." Onygebule, at 6-foot-4 and 230 pounds, will add a dimension the Kansas defense sorely lacked for much of last season: a consistent pass rush. A quick defensive end like Onygebule will also take pressure off McClinton, allowing him to focus his energy on stopping the run. The defensive secondary will also look a bit different from last year's version. Junior college transfers Patrick Resby and Kendrick Harper have already made their presence felt. Resby, a junior, who Mangino said is still learning the ropes, will compete for playing time at strong safety. Harper, also a junior, is in the mix to receive playing time opposite All-Big 12 First Team junior Aqib Talib at cornerback. "Kendrick is doing well, getting a lot of reps, and learning on the run," Mangino said. "I like his attitude. He is a teisty guy who is very focused on his work." Between the infusion of fresh blood from Harper and Onygebule and senior leadership from McClinton, the layhawk defense may be equipped to piece together the pass defense puzzle.

As students, we head to all corners of the country (maybe the world?) in order to pursue sunshine and relaxation. But as KU students, we still want to see the Jayhawks play into March Madness. And therein lies the rub. Trying to find a KU game on an out-of-Kansas television can be an exercise as difficult as it was for the layhaws to hit lay ups and durks against UCLA. I tried to watch the layhaws' first game at home in St. Louis. I got home just minutes before the game, only to find out that Charter, the local cable provider, was offering the Illinois-Virginia Tech game on the local cable station I tried to call Charter and ask them about it, but was entirely frustrated by the cable company's horrendous customer service. I spent 45 minutes on hold, being passed between operators who had no idea what channels even the most basic stations were on. No problem, I assumed. Sunflower here in Lawrence has an extra game available for its sports tier subscribers. My parents get the sports channels in St. Louis, so I assumed wed be getting an extra game. They tried to tell me the KMOV channel 4, the CBS affiliate, was on channel 6. I politely told them I was staring at my cable box, which showed it on channel 4. When I got irritated and asked the foolish customer service representative for a supervisor, I was put on indefinite hold until I wung up on. My anger at not being able to watch the KU game had been exacerbated by a company that so foolish believes it can mistreat its customer. I tried to call Charter back, but was, again, left on hold. What passes for customer service at that company is shameful. By this point it was halftime of the KU game, which I had on my laptop. I elected to watch it that way, rather than try and get any information from the folks at Charter. For games three and four, I was in New York City. As a soon-to-be KU alum, I visited the Web site of the KU Alumni Association to get information on where all of the local jayhawks would be watching games three and four. For some reason, I assumed that the local alumni chapter would have made sure to update its Web site on where it would be watching Kansas' run in the NCAA tournament. Imagine my dismay when I found out that a private party had booked the local watch party site. I suppose it's possible that the Alumni Association e-mailled its active New York members about the change, but several recent alumni I know were as surprised as I was. I ended up watching the first half of the game at a local restaurant before moving to a better location at halftime. The past two years I've made plans to follow the Jayhawks wherever they went in the tournament during spring break. This year, I decided I wasn't going to pin my spring break hopes to a Jayhawk basketball team. It turned out well in that for the first time since 2004 the Jayhawks advanced out of the first weekend, but it made it incredibly difficult to catch games. Next year, it's back to following the Jayhawks. I hope my employer understands.

Wrestler Stone Cold Steve Austin, center, watches closely as Vince McMahon, right, World Wrestling Entertainment president, pushes on the nose of Donald Trump, real estate magnate and star of the reality series "The Apprentice," as they face off during a press conference in New York on Wednesday. Trum and McMahon will each have a representative represent them in the "Battle of the Billionaires" match at WrestleMania 23 on Sunday. Trump's famous hair could be shaved Outcome of WrestleMania match determines his next'do It could become reality, thanks to World Wrestling Entertainment owner Vince McMahon. ASSOCIATED PRESS INDIANAPOLIS — Imagine The Donald — without the hair. On April 1, he and Donald Trump will have a wrestler compete on each's behalf in the "Battle of the Billionaires" at WrestleMania 23 in Detroit — the WWE's biggest annual pay-per view event. Trump, the real estate mogul and star of NBC's "The Apprentice", knows his do isnt popular with some fans. "A lot of people want to see it shaved," he told the Associated Press in a phone interview from his New York office. "I do get criticized, there's no question about it, although I've never had any problem with it. It certainly has seemed to work." If Umaga beats Bobby Lashley, McMahon will give Trump what some might call a long-overdue buzz. If Lashley, Trumps rep. wins, McMahon will sport a new look. Trump deserves to be humiliated. "Hopefully, I have really dull scissors so I can yank the rest of it out that I can't cut." McMahon said. "But I may be surprised how much Mother Nature has already beaten me to the punch. I won't know that until I start cutting." McMahon said during an interview before an edition of "WWE Monday Night Raw" in Indianapolis. "Donald Trump, to a certain extent, represents a great deal of Americana." McMahon said. "Hes larger than life, which really fits into what the WWE is." McMahon credited Bonnie Hammer, president of the USA and Sci-Fi networks, with the idea to get Trump involved in WrestleMania. Trump, 60, was hesitant to participate. He said the 61 year old McMalon persuaded him by making a "sizable" donation to charity. Both Trump and McMalon will donate their checks, an amount that should exceed $5 million. "When he wanted me to be on, I thought about it," Trump said. "Actually, it was hard because I prefer not having my head shaved." If the 6-foot-3273-pound Lasheley That's sure to annoy his real boss, McMahon, who takes exception to Trump using that phrase. loses to Umaga, a 6-foot-4 348- pound "Samoa Bulldozer," before an expected 70,000 fans, he'll likely hear these words: You're fired. McMahon argued he first used it with his wrestlers a few years ago, long before Trump popularized it on "The Apprentice" "Why would he?" McMahon said, "He's such an elitist, he wouldn't watch our product. He wouldn't know what's going on in the real world." "I'll take credit for that line," Trump said. "I didn't know Vince used that line." That reaction was no surprise to McMahon. He does know WWE, WrestleMania IV in 1988 and WrestleMania V in 1989 were held at Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, N.J. Now, the partnership is paying off again. WrestleMania 31 already has topped $5 million in ticket sales, making it the highest grossing one-day event in WWE history.

There, you don't have to worry about that class stuff. It's all basketball. Practice on off days, arrive in the evening for a shoot around on game days, and then play one of 82 regular season games every other night. It's this emphasis on basketball that turns kids like Rush into better ball players. You can only learn so much in college. The NCAA limits the amount of practice time during the season and disallows coaches to regularly work with their players in the summer. It doesn't even let athletes play in certain recreation leagues. Rush will have more time to improve his left hand and ball handling if he goes pro because those rules won't cut into practice time. Plus, he'll be practicing and playing against the best players in the world. Oh, and when you're not playing basketball? Buy 24-inch rims, shop for clothes you'll never need. go to Eva Longoria and Tony Parker-hosted parties at the All-Star Game or pay a member of your entourage to be your designated video game partner. You can do anything you want. Let's say Rush forges this life for another year (or two) and comes back. He could average 20 points per game, lead Kansas to the Final Four and be a first team All American. That's great, but it would barely elevate his draft status. Take a look at UCLAS Arron Afilfo. He entered the Draft last year but withdrew after not being guaranteed a first round spot. This season he increased his averages and was a first team All-American. But the NBA doesn't care. Afilfo is still considered a late first rounder. The worst scenario for Rush is that he could slip to the early second round. Second round picks are not guaranteed a contract. That sounds like a raw deal, but it could actually be a benefit. If Rush goes in the early second round, he'd be picked by one of the worst teams in the league. He'd probably be able to make the team and get significant playing time. Salim Stoudamire, Mo Williams and Monta Ellis are three recent players who have done that. Rush has nothing to lose by going pro. His draft standing is high as it will ever be, he'll be able to escape the boring school life and his coach will be behind him. "Do what's best for your family and yourself and we'll support you." Self said. And for Rush, the best choice is to go pro. Dent is an Overland Park sophomore in journalism. Edited by Mark Vierthaler MLB FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Erik Bedard walked the mound and into the Baltimore Onioles dugout, where the left-hander was met by manager Sam Perlozzo. Orioles, Cardinals pitchers prove valuable this spring "Great spring." Perlozzo said from the top step before both men shook hands. Braden Looper pitched 6 2-3 shutout innings for the Cardinals, further proving that he can be a valuable part of the starting rotation for the defending World Series champions. In his last start before the regular-season opener, Bedard allowed three runs and eight hits in four innings Wednesday against the St. Louis Cardinals, who beat an Orioles split squad 5-1. The 32-year-old Looper has never pitched more than three innings in a single outing in his major league career. He had 57 saves in two seasons with the New York Mets before going 9-3 with a 3.56 ERA with St. Louis last season. Looper gave up only four hits, struck out two and did not walk a batter. He made four starts this spring, finished with a 2.18 ERA and is expected to start against the Mets in the Cardinals' opening series. Bedard, meanwhile, is slated to start the opener in Minnesota on April 9. He finished spring training with a 1.96 ERA over 23 innings. "You can't ask for much more than that." Perlozzo said. The three runs Bedard yielded Wednesday were one more than he allowed in his previous five starts this spring. He gave up a two-run homer to Tagg Bozied in the first inning and an RBI single to Aaron Miles in the second. "I was just pitching as usual MOORE SPORTS NBA age-limit rule wastes scholarships Bob Huggins, Rick Barnes and Thad Matta should all be sending NBA commissioner David Stern a box of chocolates and thank you letters galore. Thanks to Stern's NBA age-limit rule change that took effect this past season, Texas was the talk of college basketball because of freshman phenom Kevin Durant. Ohio State is in the Final Four this weekend because of Greg Oden, who NBA scouts have been drooling over since Oden could grow a beard BY C.J. MOORE KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST CMOORE@KANSAN.COM — so sometime around his 11th birthday. And next season Kansas State is going to benefit from the arrival of Michael Beasley, who is just biding his time before he can declare for the draft. Take Beasley for example. But Stern's rule, which changed the age limit from 18 to 19 and one year removed from high school, has unfairly made it so players like Beasley, Oden and Durant have no other option but to attend one year of college and sometimes these guys just don't belong in school. "I'm just wasting time here," Beasley told a Washington Post reporter several weeks ago about going to high school, an opinion he's sure to take with him to Manhattan. Beasley, a senior at Notre Dame Prep in Fitchburg, Mass., has been kind enough to spread the wealth of his talents during his scholastic career, attending six schools in five different states Beasley would never go to Kansas State if it were not for the age limit. He said he's counting the days until he turns 19 and is able to enter the draft. He obviously made it clear that he does not plan to attend college more than one year. So why should he even enroll? If Beasley were not a stud on the basketball court, he would most likely not be planning on attending college, nor would anyone encourage him to. Before the age limit, if a player did not want to go to school, he did not have to. The guys who wanted to attend college or thought it was in their best interest went to school, and the players who felt like going to school was just "killing time" skipped college altogether. Since Beasley is obviously going to declare for the draft next year, he could stop going to classes after the season or even after first semester. He wouldn't even need to be passing his classes second semester and he could still play. The age limit practically turns the college game into a minor league system, where players like Beasley are not really student-athletes but athlete-students (using student loosely). — just not attended. This is a scholarship that could go to someone who would actually use it to get an education. Despite the stereotypes, which are not being helped by this age limit, there are still some athletes who use their athletic ability to get a free education. Many use their free education to enter the job market when they graduate. When the athletes stop going to their classes after they decide they want to declare for the draft, they don't lose their scholarships. Those classes are still being paid for As the NCAA commercial goes, most college athletes go professional in something other than sports. So a Beasley-like player will take up a scholarship next season instead of a player who actually wants to go to school and isn't just there "killing time." The schools that take in these players do benefit from their short stays on campus. At Kansas State, for example, the basketball team sold out its season tickets for the first time in 23 years this past season. The big reason was because of the arrival of Bob Huggins and the Michael Beasleys that were sure to follow. NBA-bound players are coming to play for Huggins because they realize he could care less if they get an education, which he has proven with his well-documented poor graduation rates. He may have to start caring at some point, because the NCAA now penalizes teams for not graduating players. It's a price Huggins and Kansas State are probably willing to pay because of the exposure and money that is generated by having players like Beasley. of going to Texas. Without Durant. Texas would have played in the NIT this year instead of the NCAA tournament. Some would argue that Durant's year in college has been a blessing for both Durant and college basketball. He has been able to improve his skills, star quality and get big game experience at the college level while college basketball has benefited from the exposure he brings to the game. The schools also benefit from taking in these one-and-done players by winning games. Without the age limit, Durant would most likely have declared for the draft instead The NBA benefits by making these players go to school because the scouts get to see future pros play against real competition. By players going to college, it makes it easier for the NBA to evaluate their talent and potential instead of evaluating them against pimply-faced high school kids. Beasley could be getting the same preparation for the pros and tutelage he will get under Huggins in a minor league system similar to baseball's minor leagues. But why should the NBA take trouble of forming a minor league system when the NCAA is providing one for free? The NBA could follow baseball's model and start a minor league system that prepares players who do not want to go to school for the league. But that would take time and money. Beasley is 18 years old. By law, he's an adult. He can go fight a war for his country if he feels like doing so. But he wants to play basketball for a living. To play in the NBA, one needs to be really good at basketball — Western Civilization isn't a pre-requisite. Beasley is really good at basketball. He does not need a year at Kansas State to prove that and he would rather not go. As a university, it's K-State's job to educate, not babysit. If the NBA wants a farm system, it should make one and leave Americas colleges out of it. Moore is a Shawnee senior in journalism.

The two teams faced each other in last year's championship game. "We were dominated," Howland said. "It's hard to watch. We were not very good. They were very good." GAINESVILLE, Fla. — When UCLA men's basketball coach Ben Howland sat in front of the TV screen on Sunday to watch last season's national championship matchup between the Bruins and the Gators, he could only focus on one thing. It has been nearly a year since the 73-57 Florida victory, but the top-seeded Gators (30-5) find themselves preparing to once again take on the Bruins (30-5) Saturday in the Final Four. UF coach Billy Donovan insists this game is anything but a round two. “Our guys have to understand that last year's game is over and done with,” Donovan said. “I don't think your past equals your future. Last year's game was already played. Ask the Gators if the game is a rematch, and they all give the same answer in parrot like form. "Last year was last year, point guard Taurean Green said. "It's over with. We have a different team, they have a different team. Their personnel is different, our personnel is different. You really can't think about what happened last year because this is a new year." Indeed, a lot has changed since April 3 when the two teams met in Indianapolis. For UF, it's been a full year of add- ing ammunition to its arsenal. "I feel like we are more experienced, and we have people off of our bench who can really come in to help us out," forward AH Horford said. "Last year, we had the same thing, but I think this year, with Walter (Hodge) being a year older and Chris (Richard) stepping his game up a lot more. I feel like we are a deeper team." For UCLA, it has been a year of regrouping after losing seniors Cedric Boseman and Ryan Hollins. Point guard Jordan Parman also left early for the NBA Dratt. Sophomores Darren Collison and Josh Shipp have been incorporated into the lineup, and both average nearly 13 points per game. Center Lorenzo Mata, who sat out 16 games last season with a knee injury, has been healthy all season and contributes 6.7 points and 5.5 rebounds per game. "Last year's team was very good," said Arron Attilio, UCLAs newly crowned All American. "We played our best basketball at the right time and made a good run. "This year we have different personnel, three new starters. Maybe we're more complete in some areas that weren't there last year." Even though UCLA does not have any seniors, several players who competed in the title game, including Affaldo and Lac Richard Mbah a Moute, remain.

However, in two of those five games, the lawhawks actually recorded more hits than their opponent. The alarming part is the 39 lawhawk runners left on base in those five games. "We need to get in and get work," junior Morrison said last Sunday. "Hopefully we can maintain the composition and keep our confidence up and get the big hit and mil from there." The leadership role will likely be a catalyst in Morrison's quick offensive turnaround, something most of the Jayhaws need to spark in order to bring their Big 12 record above. 500. Kansas' pitching staff's ERA at the midpoint of the season is 4.60. Last season, the lavakh pitcher's ERA 4.82. "I keep telling our coaching staff, we've got to stay as positive as possible," Price said.

Although they have allowed 24 The layhawks have 261 opposing batters. This put the pitchers on pace to strike out more than 500 batters this season, blowing past the 2006 staff a 407 total. "I actually thought with how physical their team was that Ashwood's performance was a positive and I think Marks' performance was a positive," Price said after the Oklahoma State series. "Obviously Smyth went three innings for the save situation and two guys out of our bullpen came in and put up zeros."

Bannister was 0-1 with a 10.03 earned run average in four stars. He allowed four home runs, including three in a row, in a start against the Oakland Athletics and opponents were hitting .345 off him. With a commanding 0.76 ERA, sophomore closer Paul Smyth has five saves in 16 appearances. Smyth has a 3-to-1 strikeout-to-walk ratio, and has yet to give up a home run.

In one national semifinal Saturday night, Hibbert will match on against Ohio's All-American Geno Green. Final Four features big men BY MARK LONG ASSOCIATED PRESS The Final Four is big, really big, this year. With Ohio State's Greg Oden, Georgetown's Roy Hibbert and Floridas loakim Noah and Al Horton convening in Atlanta this weekend, college basketball's signature event has become a showcase for the country's best big men. It could result in more post action at the Final Four than anyone has seen since Patrick Ewing and Hakeem Olaiuwon shared the stage in 1984. "I think it's going to get the game back to where it used to be in having that low-post threat." Ohio State coach Thad Matta said Wednesday. "The size of the guys (in this Final Four) is truly amazing." Florida (33-5) has made the most of its size advantage the last two seasons. Noah and Horford helped the defending national champions win 16 consecutive postseason games and advance to Saturday's semifinal game against UCLA — a rematch of last year's title game. Although the Bruins (30-5) boast two of the best big men in the history of college basketball — Kareem Abdul-labbar and Bill Walton — they are considered undersized in this year's Final Four. Luc Richard Mbah a Moute is the team's top post player, but at 6-foot-8 and 230 pounds, he's petite compared to Oden, Hibbert, Noah and Horford. "We are by far the smallest team in this Final Four," UCLA coach Ben Howland said. "But I think it's great to see the big man in college basketball." Noah and Horford outwork most opponents down low, getting easy buckets and creating open shots for everyone around them. The Florida duo came up huge in last year's title game against UCLA, finishing with a combined 30 points, 16 rebounds and eight blocks. Noah, a 6-11 forward and the son of tennis star Yannick Noah, was the catalyst for the team's title run in 2006, blocking a tournament record 29 shots. He probably could have been the No.1 pick in last year's NBA draft, but decided to return in hopes Florida would become the first team since Duke in 1992 to repeat as national champions. Horford came back, too. The 6-10 center and son of former NBA player Tito Horford has improved his game significantly, developing post moves and an outside jumper — making himself Florida's No. 1 player to try to defend. Ohio State's top threat also happens to be a center. Oden, a 7-foot freshman sensation; propelled the Buckeyes (34-3) into Saturday's seminal match against Georgetown (30-6). He blocked the final shot against Tennessee in the regional semifinals to secure an 85-84 victory, then had 17 points and nine rebounds in only 24 minutes against Memphis to lift Ohio State to a spot in the Final Four. SPECTACULAR SUMMER SESSIONS CHOOSE FROM MORE THAN THAN 300 SUMMER COURSES Oden has proven he's ready for the next level and even said last week that "everything is easy about college." He's averaging 15.4 points and 9.5 rebounds. He's shooting 61 percent from the field and has 100 blocked shots. EARLY SESSION: May 29-June 28 FULL SESSION: May 29-July 19 LATE SESSION: July 2-August 2 WASHBURN UNIVERSITY 》 WOMEN'S BASKETBALL Hibbert could prove to be a challenge for Oden. The 7-2 junior has played well in the tournament, averaging 13 points and 11.5 rebounds. He also has 11 blocked shots, nine assists and just four turnovers. "I think we'll see Saturday how they match up." Georgetown coach John Thompson III said. "I think they're both very good players and something that people are talking about because it's not too often you have two low-post centers going against each other, particularly this late in the tournament." All-America team announced Team selection fulfills Oklahoma player's childhood goal BY DOUG FEINBERG ASSOCIATED PRESS www.washburn.edu/schedule/summer Courtney Paris has been the model of consistency in her college career. It's something she learned growing up. "Ever since eighth grade, I was always annoyed when a girl would score five points one game and then 20 the next," Paris said. "I always wanted to be consistent, so when I got to Oklahoma, I considered it my job." The Oklahoma center has done just that, racking up 61 straight games with double figure scoring and rebounding and becoming the first player selected her first two years for The Associated Press All-America team in women's basketball. "It's a big honor to me," said Paris, the 6-foot-4 daughter of former NFL lineman Bubba Paris. "I'm really excited. When you're younger you dream of getting to college and becoming an All-American. To know people voted you in is really special." North Carolina senior Ivory Latta also was a first-team repeater from last year. "It definitely a tremendous honor to be a part of the All-America team again this season," Latta said. "To be considered among the best players in the nation is an exciting privilege, and I'm glad I have been able represent my team and my school well." a perfect 29-0 record in the regular season, and Ohio State senior Jessica Davenport. Also chosen were Tennessee sophomore Candace Parker, who was a second team selection last season; Duke senior Lindsey Harding, who helped lead the Blue Devils to "I wouldn't want to play against them," Oklahoma coach Sherri Coale said. "Across the spectrum you got your guards, a swing, your posts, that team would be fantastic." Tommy Deas in Tuscaloosa, Ala, was the lone voter not to select the Tennessee star. "It's a huge honor," Parker said. "I wouldn't be where I am right now without my tremendous teammates." Paris had 46 first-team votes and 242 points, while Harding had 44 and 234. Latta 38 and 218 and Davenport 20 and 188. "She is a very good player and was one of several I considered for first team," Deas said. "I chose by position and although she is very versatile, I couldn't pick her." "It's a goal I've always had from day one, of being an All-American and making that team," Harding said. "I've worked so hard to get there." Harding's college career ended when she missed two free throws last Saturday with 0.1 seconds left with Duke trailing Rutgers by a point in the Greensboro Regional semifinals. Her coach quickly put into perspective the impact of her star guard. "She's carried us all year long," Blue Devils coach Gail Goostenkens said. "I've watched her grow as a player, she deserves every award. She was a consummate leader for us and I know she'll use the misses as motivation." Parker, who played on the U.S. team that won a bronze medal last year at the world championships, will be joined in the national pool by Harding, Davenport and Paris. "It bodes well for the USA," said Goenkesten, an assistant on the national team. "We're really trying to prepare these young players so we can get them ready." The four players will spend time in Italy in April when the U.S. team heads there for a training trip. "It's going to be a great experience," Harding said. "It's going to be a huge wake-up call from college to the next level. I'm playing with some of the most experienced players and coaches. I'm going to be a sponge. I have a lot to learn." Maryland's Crystal Langhorne led a trio of juniors on the second team, along with Stanford's Candice Wiggins and LSU's Sylvia Fowles. Middle Tennessee senior Chrissy Givens and Louisville sophomore Angel McCoughtry rounded out the second team. The third team included Purdue's Katie Gearlds, North Carolina's Erlana Larkins, Duke's Alison Bales, Mississippi's Arminite Price and Georgia's Tasha Humphrey. The preseason All-America team was Paris, Parker, Latta, Wiggins and Langhorne. Joining Paris and Latta on last year's first team was Seimone Augustus of LSU — a unanimous selection, Cappie Pondexeter of Rutgers and Sophia Young of Baylor. Parker 10 Paris ASSOCIATED PRESS ALL-AMERICA TEAM MADISON WILLIAMS Harding PENNIS Davenport MLB TAYLOR CASEY SURPRISE. Ariz. — David Wells was sharp in his final spring training outing, but Gil Meche was not. ASSOCIATED PRESS Wells, who was making his fourth San Diego start, limited the Kansas City Royals to two runs and six hits over six innings in the Padres' 7-6 victory Wednesday. He walked none and struck out three. Latta Mche, signed by the Royals to a five year, $55 million contract in the offseason, was rouged up in his final appearance before his opening day start on Monday against the Red Sox. Meche allowed seven runs on 10 hits and two walks, while walking three in taking the loss. Wells, who gave up seven runs on Royals lose last preseason game to Padres "I'm ready," Wells said. "I've never been big on a lot of innings in spring training. I basically know what it takes to get ready." Russell Branyan hit two home runs, including a three-run shot in the fifth, and drove in four runs off Meche. In his past two games, Branyan has four home runs and nine RBIs. 10 hits in three innings in his previous start against the Chicago White Sox, has pitched just 13 2-3 innings in March. "I think he was having trouble getting his fastball down," Royals manager Buddy Bell said of Meche. "I think he's ready to go and that's the main thing. He has good stuff, but at times he was a little erratic with his Mark Grudzielanek started at second base for his first major league action since having arthropocious surgery on his left knee March 5. He played the previous two days in Royals minor leagues games, going 0-for-3 with two assists in five innings. Marcus Giles and Brian Giles each went 2-for-3 for the Padres. Mike Sweeney went 2-for-3 for the Royals with a double, while Ross Gload went 2-for-2 with an RBI and scored a run. Bell said Gload, who is hitting 392, would start in left field for the season opener, instead of Emil Brown, who led the club in RBIs the past two years. We serve taste one bite at a time.

The birth control medications this affects at Watkins are Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo, NuRing, Desogen and Cycleasa. Their prices increased from approximately $8 to $40. Companies contacted Watkins in December, and said their contracts would cease Dec. 15. But, students weren't affected until recently because Watkins still had enough low-priced clinic packs to distribute. Cathy Thrasher, head pharmacist at Watkins, said there were still clinic packs available for Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo and Cyclessa, which students could purchase at the lower price. However, once Watkins pharmacy runs out, all students must purchase the product at wholesale. Thrasher predicted the amount they had left would last for the rest of the semester. The contract cut resulted from Thrasher said another problem is that two of the birth controls, Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo and NuvaRing, were unique. Most medicines have the 2005 Deficit-Reduction Act, which benefited Medicaid, the federal health insurance program for the poor. Thrasher said before the change, pharmaceutical manufacturers offered preferred pricing to student health centers. She said that because of the Medicaid plan the companies were instructed to figure average price of the product. The price they gave to student health centers skewed the average price.

Although bracket pools are illegal, many students place bets with friends on their picks for the NCAA tournament. Photo illustration by Sarah Leonard Luke Hanson, Eden Prairie, Minn, freshman, bet $10 with a group of friends from high school on a bracket and picked Kansas to win. He said his friends from home did not share his bias for the Jayhawks and that he had already incorrectly picked too many games to have a chance at winning. Hanson said he followed college basketball but did not use logic for all of his picks. Not all students stayed loyal to the Jayhawks when filling out their brackets. Dustin Smith, Austin, Texas, senior, picked Memphis to win the tournament. He and his roommates each put $5 into a bracket pool. Smith said he had already lost because he picked too many upsets. sions of gambling on the tournament. Neither Smith nor Hanson worried about potential legal repercussions "Some are just gut picks," he said. "Catch me if you can." Smith said. "I bet the cops have office pools too," Hanson said. Kansan staff writer Kyle Carter can be contacted at kcarter@ kansan.com. Even in Las Vegas, where gambling is legal, there aren't any bracket pools to gamble on legally, said Jill Hersch, supervisor at the New York, New York sports book on Las Vegas Boulevard. Kim Murphree, Lawrence Ponce Department spokesperson, said she wasn't aware of anyone being fined or prosecuted for gambling on bracket pools. Hersch said the most common bets placed on college basketball were point-spread bets, over-under bets and standard bets. A point spread is how much a team is predicted to win by, over under-bets predict the total number of points the two teams will score and standard bets simply predict who will win the game. - Edited by Kelly Lanigan GAMBLING Casinos in Kansas' future BY JOE HUNT Senate passes Expanded Lottery Act Gambling will become more prevalent in Kansas. Thursday the Senate passed the Kansas Expanded Lottery Act, which will allow for construction of four state-owned casinos and installation of 2,200 slot machines at race tracks. Governor Kathleen Sebelius confirmed in a press release Thursday that she would sign the bill. Expanded gambling has long been a topic of discussion in Kansas, Sen. Marci Francisco (D-Lawrence) said that two previous gambling bills had been brought to the Senate during her three years, but both failed. She supported the Illustration by Grant Snider Francisco said this bill was different from others because it limited the amount of casinos to four, reduced the number of slots at racetracks and allocated 2 percent of funds toward social rehabilitation services. The four casinos would be destination casinos, which means they would offer activities other than just gambling. Kansas Expanded Lottery Act. The bill does not specifically allocate casino revenues toward deferred maintenance at Kansas universities, but Francisco said she hoped that was where some money would go.

The caller asks if you will take a quick survey about the Lawrence City Commission election that takes place Tuesday and how you feel about hot button Lawrence issues; property taxes, jobs and infrastructure. The survey names the six commission candidates. Some of those candidates are upset about these surveys. They say the surveyors are using a technique called push polling, which is similar to suggestive selling in that the surveyors might recommend certain candidates during the survey, rather than asking objective questions. "I think it's an attempt by somebody to influence the election," said David Schauer, city commission candidate. Candidates Mike Dever and Rob Chestnut both employ the same phone service company, Pinnacle Telemarketing Incorporated in Plainview, Neb., to conduct the surveys. Pinnacle would not return phone calls. According to campaign expenditure sheets, Chestnut spent $2,714.25 and Dever spent $951.75 on the outbound calling service. The service is not listed in the expenditure sheets of the other four candidates, Schauer, James Bush, Carey Maynard-Moody and Dennis "Boog" Highberger. All of those candidates said they did not use the service. Chestnut said the survey company had been calling about 500 Lawrence residents a day for the last couple of weeks. He said the company had sent him two or three Microsoft Excel spreadsheets with the statistical results of the surveys within the last week, but he said the results had not affected his campaign. "They try to establish the folks they think are likely voters and have opinions about the community;" Chestnut said. "I'm not familiar with how it happens." "For me, it's really confirmed what we thought the issues were out there," Chestnut said. "It has provided a pretty clear message." Dever said the service he purchased did not survey callers, but it did ask callers if they were going to vote for Dever. If not, it asks the callers their reasons. "We're really interested in driving up voter turnout," Dever said. Burdett Loomis, KU political science professor, said motivating voter turnout this late in the election process was "the most bang for your buck." But he also said survey results were most effective at the beginning of campaigs. "I don't quite understand what they're polling for a few days out," he said. Bush said he had a hard time believing these calls were being made to educate voters. "That could have an adverse effect on my campaign if they're suggesting something misleading," he said. Maynard-Moody said her campaigned did not have enough money SEE POLLS ON PAGE 4A 7 2A NEWS quote of the day "When thou seest an eagle, thou seest a portion of genius; lift up thy head!"

The show, 'Genius of Women', will be held at 8:30 p.m at the choir room in Murphy Hall. It is free and open to the public. Donations will go to the Salvation Army. "It's not aimed just at women," she said. "We're trying to bring men into the process of honoring women." Maria Thorson, Milwaukee graduate student, helped organize the show. She said the show was designed to celebrate womanhood and promote the dignity of women. As of Thursday, there was warm water available to the visitors. "We have hot water in the building now, but if you were to take a shower, you would not classify it as hot, probably more as warm." Rosenstengle said. The Student Recreation Fitness Center has been without hot water for the second time this semester. Rick Rosenstengle, associate director of facilities, said the recent hot water shortage was caused by a list of technical problems different than those that caused the previous hot water shortage. Rosenstengle said the problem would be fixed by the middle of next week.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FRIDAY, MARCH 30, 2007 NEWS 》 GEOCACHING 3A Tired of analog treasure hunts? Grab your GPS and go! Say goodbye to the old map and compass and hello to a new, hightech way of treasure hunting called Geocaching. Geocaching is an adventure game for Global Positioning System, GPS, users. The user logs onto the Geocaching Web site, www.geocaching.com, and puts coordinates into the GPS unit. The "sport" was created in 2000. Since then the Web site lists 1,217 local users who have found lock boxes, which is the prize at the end of the search, in Lawrence. Mollie Osborne, Tonganoxite, freshman, has been Geocaching twice with a friend who has a GPS. Osborne said that although the concept may sound easy, the hunt can actually take hours. "Even if you are right on top of it, you still have to search," Osborne said. The process is a lot like playing hot or cold with children; telling them they are freezing when they are looking in the wrong direction and steaming when they are close. "We just walk in the direction that it says." Osborne said. "And if it says we are going the wrong way, we turn around." Searchers can log their experience on the Web site, rating from one to five stars how difficult finding the cache was and how rugged the terrain. They can also leave hints to future Geocachers. A cache titled, "Rock Chalk Jayhawk," most recently found by Dr Jay Kenney, a cacher under the screen name "Caverdoc," was led by his GPS to the picnic area behind Carruth O'Leary. Kennedy said he had been Geocaching for a little more than a year but had already found more than 200 caches, most in Kansas, but some were as far away as British Columbia. Kennedy said he had found "lots of neat toys" but Geocoin, metallic coins specially minted for use in geocaching and trackable on-line are the most exciting to find. "I've had Geocaches hidden at drive-up telephones and others where I had to hike half a mile, find the opening to a cave, rappel 98 feet alone into a vertical cave and find the cache," Kennedy said. "Then climb out with my ascenders." Kennedy said he had been a "very seasoned caver" practicing for more than 30 years. The cave cache was found in Kentucky, which he recalled as his favorite adventure so far. "It's called 'Plunge Extreme' if you want to find it on the Geocaching site," Kenneday said. "Only two finds to date." Kennedy said he caches alone or with others, usually accompanied by his 5-year-old son. "I go with my wife and 2-year-old daughter, Natalie, if the cache is very easy" Kansan staff writer Bethany Bunch can be contacted at bbunch@kansan.com. - Edited by Will McCullough 10 Days Only!

Loomis said this year's candidates fell into two groups based on their views about retail, business and residential development. One group, he said, could be called "pro growth" or "pro development." These candidates — which he said included business executives Rob Chestnut and Mike Dever and, to a lesser degree, former pastor James Bush — want to make it easier to develop businesses and residential neighborhoods in Lawrence, he said. Loomis said the other group — the "smart growth" or "progressive" group — showed more caution with development and favored more restrictions on developers. He said incumbent commissioners Dennis "Boog" Highberger and David Schauner and retired school social worker Carey Maynard Moody fell into this group. Dever and Chestnut finished first and second in the primary election Feb. 27, and they have raised more money from campaign contributions than the other candidates. The top three vote getters in the general election April 3 will win commission spots. Chestnut said he disagreed with the characterization that he or any other candidate was a member of a group. "The opinions of some may have common threads versus the opinions of others, but the use of phrases, such as 'pro-growth' or 'progressive', do not accurately describe the issues at hand in this election" he said. Dever and Bush also said they didn't think they could be accurately grouped with other candidates. Chestnut said he did think the two incumbents had not showr enough commitment to economic development. John Nalbandian, professor of public administration, was a city commissioner and mayor during the 1990s. He said momentum had swing back and forth between the two camps of Lawrence politics for years, and he said it was swinging the way of the pro-development candidates. Loomis said Chestnut, Dever and Bush were linked by the support they received from residential developers and people in the real estate industry. "I just call it pendulum politics," he said. Schauner joked that he wouldn't object to being called smart, but he said he differed from other candidates in that he wanted to make sure the city maintained control over its growth. "If we have a city that is run by, and the rules are made by, people whose goals are to make money by building houses, then we're going to have a city where it's very expensive to live," he said. Alvin's Wine & Spirits Maynard Moody said she wasn't sure how accurate it was to put the candidates into groups, but she said many voters might view the candidates that way. "Sometimes it's not the reality but the myth that voters latch onto, that drives the election," she said. "Whether this managed growth or smart growth versus pro-growth or pro-development is a myth or reality, I'm not sure."

In past elections, Schauner and Highberger were supported by the Progressive Lawrence Campaign, a group that promoted a policy of "smart growth." The group is not operating during this election. Schauner and Highberger did not object to being grouped together. — Edited by Will McCullough money will go toward debt reduction, infrastructure and reduction of local property taxes. Sen.

"We've been through this before." an original brand, and then other "copiers" called generics, which are cheaper but have the same effects as the original. Thrasher said students have concerns about not being able to afford these, and not being able to replace it with a different product. Nicole Schmidt, Olpe junior, is financially independent, paying her bills, tuition and birth control, herself. Schmidt said she switched to NuvaRing about a year and a half ago because it was affordable at $7. Now that the price increased, she's thought about changing her birth control. "I still really like the product, and would love to keep using it," Schmidt said. "But, I've already looked into — Edited by Kelly Lanigan BIRTH CONTROL (CONTINUED FROM 1A) other options because I just can't afford it." "Both are benefiting from the ring, and I would think many guys would be willing to help with the cost," Johnson said. Carolyn Johnson, gynecologist at Watkins, said if patients wanted to stay on the ring, which does not have a generic, many insurance companies would pay at least part of the cost. Johnson also recommends that students who do not have insurance can share the cost with their boyfriend. Kansan staff writer Danae DeShazer can be contacted at ddeshazer@ kansan.com. CELEBRITY TROUBLES Hilton could be sent to jail after probation violation Edited by Trevan McGee LOS ANGELES — City prosecutors said Thursday they will ask a judge to revoke Paris Hilton's probation in a reckless driving case, a move that could lead to a jail term. The decision followed an investigation into whether the hotel heiress and reality star violated terms of her probation by driving last month with a suspended license. Hilton could face up to 90 days in jail if a judge finds she violated her probation, Velasquez said. A hearing was scheduled for April 17. In January, Hilton pleaded no contest to alcohol-related reckless driving stemming from a Sept. 7 arrest in Hollywood and was sentenced to 36 months' probation, alcohol education and $1,500 in fines. Hilton was pulled over on Sunset Boulevard on Feb. 28, Police said they saw her blue Bentley Continental GTC speeding with its headlights off. She was ticketed for misdemeanor driving with a suspended license. Hilton's spokesman Elliot Mintz said at the time that she hadn't been aware that her license was suspended. Mintz did not immediately return a call seeking comment. --- The University Daily Kansan hates the First Amendment: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble. and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

Okay, you web critics are right: we don't really read the news. But we hear things when we wander by the News Desk, and they don't sound good. Apparently there are conflicts in places like Iraq, Afghanistan, and someplace called "Israel." Or maybe it's called "Palestine." Honestly, we don't care. How reassuring for us, then, to learn that the only conflict that really matters has been settled. No, not the centuries-long feud between Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland — God can work that one out. We refer, of course, to the laying down of verbal arms between Marshal Bruce Mathers III and Kim, his estranged wife. For too long, this conflict has gone unresolved. While presidents and prime ministers dispatched envoys to far-flung regions, this blood feud and marital discord went on unfeettered. Fans suffered through the musical and talk radio-based lamentations of this unraveled love. But what it took, at long last, was an agreement between the two parties that the welfare of their daughter, who has doubtless been protected from the rap culture thus far, trumped all else. O! how the feud has torn the Motor City asunder! Citizens of the much-maligned 313 stood by helplessly as the two lobed barrages of insults at each other, each scathed by mortars of vitriol and grenades of hate. Figurative bullets of outrage flew at rap battles from Flint to Ypsilanti, as the two sides resorted to increasingly gruesome imagery in their war of lyrical attrition. But now, at long last, the dispute comes to its merciful end, and the city of Detroit returns its attention to its booming auto industry. Now comes the time to follow their lead — we must, as a nation, move on from this dark chapter that has pushed all other issues from our consciousness. Hear our words, Ahmadinejad! Bush and al-Maliki, take heed! No longer will the petty disputes of foreign wars, having long taken the backseat to the concerns of the Mathers clan, be allowed to carry on unresolved. If these two can reconcile, surely any Sunni and Shiite can find common ground. No longer will we remain silent. The inspirational actions of Mathers and his wife are too momentous, too fraught with diplomatic mastery to not serve as a blueprint for future peace. While we call upon world leaders to settle their comparatively trivial differences, we cherish the peace that has at long last settled over the Mathers household. What's that? You say Mathers is still feeding with his mother? COMMENTARY All hope is lost. God help us. — McKay "$20 word" Stangler for the editorial board. Pants linked to terrorism, murder The leggy garments should no longer be free to distract the French or eat drunks Fuck pants. Pants are dangerous and should be disregarded completely if we as a species plan to stay the dominant force on this planet. The U.S. government predicts 129,000 Americans each year die at the murderous hand of pants, and another 5,000,000 worldwide mostly in rich countries where citizens can afford multiple pairs of pants. The number one leading cause of death from pants is strangulation. Those numbers are especially high among those in glam bands, and also among bicyclists, who have exceptionally tight pants. — purchased at a local Dillard's — came to life and tried to swallow him through the waistline. Although there is no scientific proof that pants can come to life, there is one account in a rural Minnesota town that may serve as proof. One man claimed that as he slept one night, his cargo pants However, eyewitness accounts dispute that claim, saying the man BY ERIC JORGENSEN was blacked out from drinking and was "looking for his keys," and crawled into the pants, where he passed out. Alive or not, pants have histrically been, KANSAN COLUMNIST OPINION@KANSAN.COM and continue to be, a leading cause of death among those with legs. Historians have linked pants to the Nazi defeat of the French in World War II. The French were unprepared for battle because they were not in the fields or at the Maginot Line, but in their homes debating which camouflage pant best matched their bustiers and berets. They lost because of pants! It makes me sick. An investigation by The University Daily Kansan showed links between pants-related deaths in America and terrorism. The American National Pants Board has worked closely with Spain's national pants board, Pantalonesl, to promote and coordinate in the production of pants for the past two years. Francisco Cabrera. Pantalones!s chairman, was caught accepting funds from a terrorist group, which he then laundered through the American National Pants Board to American pants manufacturers. These manufacturers accepted the terrorists' money on the grounds that there would be an increase in tight-fitting pants and increase in the production of overalls. A Reuters' report yesterday exposed sequins may have been a condition of the agreement as well. The terrorists are trying to use pants to kill Americans and demoralize our nation's children. Some have even gone on far to say that it is pants who are running this terrorist group, and are looking to create sleeper cells within our borders. These cells are called "sleep bottoms," because they hide from the public and are the lowest form of scum. In national polls, pants approval rating has dropped drastically during the last six months. This can be attributed to a massive swing in unpopularity among women. Many women have become disgusted with pants as the number of incidents involving men's ball-grabbing and crotch-fixing has increased. Pants helped the Nazis, killed millions, supported terrorism and caused excessive nut-tugging. Pants power isn't a political issue, it's a moral issue. It's time we abandon pants and start going ultimatecommando. We need to act before pants strike when we're not looking, and pass us on the food chain. Jorgensen writes stuff some times, when he's not busy tugging at his crotch. STF Grant Snider/KANSAN Courteous men demand too much of women's simple little minds Flowers? Gifts? Cute little notes? What a turn-off. I'd rather have a guy that seems completely disinterested and doesn't care if I live or die. Now that's hot. It seems that guys have got the idea that all girls want is a man that will do sweet things and treat them with respect, and I'm sick of it. I can't tell you the number of times I've been out with a guy and thought, "Man! He would be so perfect if he was just a little more rude to me." Or, "Ugh, Nice guys do finish last because women aren't looking for someone I hate it when a guy compliments me!" I want guys to tell me that I have never looked worse, that they're embarrassed to be seen with me. I want a guy who stands me up and forgets to call when he says he will. Who wants a guy who follows through with plans? Where's the adventure? I love guys that will blow off a date because hed rather go to a bar with his friends. sweet, nice or dependable.

Guys should just get straight to the point when asking girls out too: "Hev babe, we're going out on Saturday. Be there." I want a man who isn't afraid to boss me around. I hate when guys give me a choice. That's the whole reason I date: so that they can make all my decisions for me!

BY BRIAN LEWIS-JONES "A lot of it boils back to sustainability, really," he said. "It's a cultural issue; it's an economic issue; it's a political issue; it's an everybody issue." On campus, Red Corn, Shawnee junior, is regional director of the environmental group 2020 Vision, representative of First Nations Student Association and a multicultural affairs committee chair. He is also a member of Student Senate. Last year Before spring break, Red Corn received more than 1,000 signatures in 5 hours for a proposed referendum, which is now scheduled for April's election ballot. The referendum would reallocate $1.50 of existing student fees to entice the University to be 20 percent renewable in its resource use by 2020. "What I fear most is sitting in a cubicle and making lots of money," he said, "but not actually doing anything." "It's an attainable goal," he said. "It's something we can get if we start working towards it." he ran for student body president in the Delta Force coalition. of civil, environmental and architectural engineering, said he had known Red Corn for two years through two of his classes. "He's very proactive and has a lot of enthusiasm for trying to get things done." Young said. Bryan Young, assistant professor Young said Red Corn created a storm-water recycling project with him this semester, something Young called Red Corn's "brain child." "I wouldn't be surprised if he continues to dabble in politics and environmentalism." Young said. "That's a great combination." Red Corn's environmental interest began in high school, where he studied stream testing and alternative energies in an environmental prob- known, I would have started earlier."

Baylor, a team that has won four straight times against Kansas, features three single players ranked in the top 100 of the ITA Collegiate Tennis Rankings, and the No. 38 ranked doubles team. Coach Amy Hall-Holt said her team had to make up for the talent gap by outworking Baylor. "We just need to compete as hard as we can." Hall-Holt said. "We need to go in with an open mind, and we are coming off a good week of practice." Kansas (4-9, 2-2) last competed as a team in a 5-2 home loss to Louisville on March 11, but Hall-Holt said that four players were able to get in some individual work during a spring break trip to Arizona. Baylor is coming off a Big 12 Championship and will be the highest-ranked opponent Kansas has faced during a season that has already seen eight opponents ranked in the Top 75 of the ITA rankings. The last time these two teams met was in the quarterfinal of the Big 12 Championships last year. Baylor won 4-0. Junior Zuzana Zemenova headlines a potent Baylor squad at No. 1 singles. Zemenova, a two-time TLA All-American, won the NCAA Singles title in 2005, and went undefeated in conference play a year ago. Kansas freshman Kunigunda Dorn earned her first appearance at No. 1 singles against Louisville, losing a three-set match. She could be called on to face Zemenova. Junior Elizaveta Avdeeva played at the No.1 position the first 12 matches of the season and could also return to that spot against Baylor. Hall-Holt has that whoever plays Zemenova has to outcompete her. "You need to come in with a determined attitude and stay in it mentally." Hall-Holt said. Kansas currently has sole posi- session of sixth place in the Big 12 with a 2-2 conference mark. Hall-Holt said she was proud of the way her team had handled adversity this season. She has also been impressed by the improved play of sophomores Edina Horvath and Yuliana Swistun. Horvath has combined with Adevea at the No. 1 doubles spot and registered an 11-2 record with a 4-0 record in Big 12 matches. Swistun has shown great progress during her sophomore campaign. Swistun has a 3-1 record at the No. 5 singles position. "Not being in the lineup last year, and now this year she's playing No. 5 and having a great winning record," Hall-Holt said. After playing Baylor, Kansas will travel to Lubbock, Texas, to take on No. 69 Texas Tech on Sunday.

Sammy Sosa isn't one of them. Returning after missing four games with a stomach virus, Sosa hit his fifth homer of the spring in the Rangers' 7-5 loss to the Kansas City Royals in their final Cactus League game Thursday. Rangersmanager Ron Washington plans to use Sosa primarily as a designated hitter with a few games in right field. Where will he be for the season opener Monday night at the Los Angeles Angels? After being out of the majors last season, Sosa hit .404 with 15 RBIs in 16 games in Arizona after the 1998 NL MVP and seven-time All-Star came to camp with his original team on a minor league contract. "I'll be happy wherever the skipper wants me to play," said Sosa, who is fifth on the career home run list with 588. "I feel good, strong and I am ready to go." Washington was noncommittal on the club's plans for Sosa, but said that the 38-year-old slugger — who will have a base salary of about $600,000 this season — had a good comeback day. "He's still seeing the ball well," Washington said. "He looked strong. That was a pretty good day, he hit the ball sharply in the second, turned around a 96 mph fastball for a home run and worked the pitcher well for a walk." Sosa's homer gave the Rangers a 4-3 lead in the sixth. But Royals used an error, a walk and Mark Tehan's three-run home run to regain the lead in the eighth off Ezequiel Astacio, who was claimed off waivers from Houston earlier this week. It was Tehana's fourth homer. Mark Grudzielanek, who had knee surgery March 5, went 1-for-3 in his second straight game. He plans to be in the lineup for Monday's opener against Boston. Royals starter Odalis Perez left after three innings because of a blister on the middle finger of his pitching hand. Perez said he won't miss a start, but manager Buddy Bell wasn't as certain "I don't know what his status is for the second game of the year," Bell said "We don't want him to have to deal with this every other game." Non-roster invitee Matt Kata doubled and tripled for the Rangers, and may have won a utility role this spring, when he hit .396. Minor leaguer Casey Benjamin hit a two-run homer for Texas. BASEBALL (CONTINUED FROM 12A) epitome of consistency. Missouri is notching just .277 at the plate. The Tigers are also led by an outfielder, sophomore Ryan Lollis, who leads the team with 31 RBI. But it will likely be the other side of the game that presents the problem. conference you have play to be successful" "We've given up 23 home runs with runners in scoring position," Price said. "I think that's a pretty good indication that we've got young guys pitching that are still trying to get to the level that at this Missouri's 3.06 team ERA leads the Big 12. Two Tiger pitcher ranks in the top five of the Big 12 ERA mark. Kansas' 4.60 team ERA could find the lahawk's predominantly freshman and sophomore pitching staff trying hard to keep up. Conference talk aside, this weekend's series will never waver far from the rivalry that is the Border Showdown — no matter what the sport. The Tiger players won't be the only ones looking to avenge the Jayhawks' taking three of four from them last season. "I've been coaching 29 years and I've never seen as brutal as it is," Price said. "I'll be real honest with you, some of the things said out in the stands shouldn't even be said at a college baseball game. I think the difference is when you've got 60,000 football fans you can't hear the one idiot in the stands.

MON APR 23 TED LEO & THE PHARMACISTS* Love of Diagrams And the next George Mason? That dream got squashed two weeks ago. Nope, this year's Final Four is all about the power conferences. There may as well be a sign: "No Underdogs Allowed." "What we did last year as a group was pretty amazing." George Mason coach Jim Larranaga said. "This year it's what the high-major teams have been able to do, which is survive some incredible scares and advance.

A year after George Mason delighted the country with its improbable run to the Final Four and the mid-majors elevated themselves with eight of the 34 at large bids, the power has shifted back to well, the powers. and only the second time since the NCAA began seeding the field in 1979 — a 2 is the “highest” seed in the Final Four. Each game Saturday night features a No. 1 vs. a No. 2 — Florida vs. UCLA and Ohio State vs. Georgetown. Some underdogs, those Bruins and Hoyas. UCLA returns almost the entire team that lost to Florida in the title game last year and was ranked No. 1 for six weeks this season. Georgetown has one of the biggest guys in college basketball and has won 19 of its last 20. For the first time since 1993 "Last year, everyone was talking about the mid-majors. This year, everyone's excited about four of the top teams in the country — who were in probably everybody's mind at the beginning of the year." Larranaga said. "It's a battle of Goliaths. There is no David." we can be beaten by anybody on a given day" CAUTION That takes some of the fun out of it. Part of the tournament's charm is that there always seems to be some high seed that knocks off a team it should have no business beating Valparaiso stunning Mississippi on Bryce Drew's shot from just across the half-court line in 1998. Princeton beating defending champ UCLA in 1996. point — the big schools have dominated the NCAA tournament. Valvano's N.C. State was hardly a mid-major, being from the ACC. But the Wolfpack were a sixth-seed in 1983, and they beat two No. 2 seeds and two No. 1s, including Houston and the Phi Slam Jama boys in the championship game. Villanova wasn't an unknown, either, in 1985, coming out of the Big East. But the Wildcats were a lowly eighth seed when they upset Patrick Ewing and mighty Georgetown. It started with the selection committee, which gave the mid-majors two fewer at-large bids than they had last year. Last year, the mid-majors ran amok. Besides George Mason, Bradley, Gonzaga and Wichita State all made the round of 16. That the Final Four wound up this way isn't really a surprise, though. While the regular season was a model of equality — a record-tying 48 schools were ranked at some "The parity in college basketball is just so close now," UCLA coach Ben Howland said.

"For the players, it will be a marker that allows them to move on in some ways, but never forget that part of their team isn't with them anymore." Bluffton President James Harder said in a telephone interview. "I think it's the right thing to do." for spring training when its bus plunged off an overpass March 2 in Atlanta. Investigators say the driver apparently mistook an exit ramp for a highway lane. The team is to begin its season in Bluffton, about 80 miles northeast of Dayton, with a crowd that is sure to swell beyond the 100-seat bleachers. The crash killed the driver, his wife and four players that day, and a fifth player died the following week. One player remains hospitalized. The Beavers will be without coach James Grandey, who is still recovering from breaking bones in his face and injuring his right leg. Up to six players could miss all or part of the season because of injuries. The team was headed to Florida "I've enjoyed — when I'm sitting in my office — hearing the ping of that bat again," he said of practice, which has been held indoors sometimes because of rain. The team resumed practices March 19 and hopes to make up the four games it has missed in the Heartland Collegiate Conference. Bluffton coaches and players have not been available to speak to reporters. Athletic Director Phill Talavinia said the players seem excited about the game. The coach of the teams first opponent said going on with the season will help Blufton's players begin to heal. "I'm really happy that despite this tragedy that they are able to get back on the field," said Chuck Murray of the College of Mount St. Joseph in Cincinnati. "It's heartbreaking, I pray for them every night." Students and teachers at Bluffton were encouraged to wear the school colors during the day Friday, and then black at the game. ROWING Kansas squad continues to build momentum The Kansas rowing team will look to build on its sixth second-place finishes last weekend against Tulaa and Drake on Saturday. The regatta begins at 2 p.m. with the first novice eight, followed by the first varsity eight, open eight, second varsity eight and two novice four races. It is the second of three straight home regattas. Coach Rob Catloth said the team would look to consistently attack the course this week and avoid in-race laps. The Jayhawks took second in all six races against Texas and Southern Methodist last week Tulsa defeated Creighton in seven of eight races last weekend, while Drake defeated Purdue and Marietta in three of five races. Kansas won four of the six races against the two teams last year. Home regattas are held on the Kansas River near Burcham Park, Second and Indiana streets. TRACK AND FIELD Junior hurdler earns CoFemale Athlete of Week Kansas junior Emily Brown was named the Big 12's Co-Female Athlete of the Week. Last weekend at the Tulsa Duals, Brown earned a regional qualifying mark in the 400-meter hurdles. She also won the 100 and 400-meter hurdles. I am very honored to receive the distinction. I am very happy with how I did in both races, but was especially shocked by my performance in the 100-meter hurdles, having missed some of the past two years due to injury", Brown said in a press release. "The recognition just shows that all the hard work I have been putting in with my teammates and Coach Elisha Brewer is paying off" In the 400-meter hurdles, Brown ran a personal best 59.03 seconds.

BY ANN SANNER ASSOCIATED PRESS "A year ago my approval rating was in the 30s, my nominee for the Supreme Court had just withdrawn, and my vice president had shot someone," President Bush said Wednesday night during the annual gathering. "Ah," he said, "those were the good ol' days." In keeping with the lighthearted traditions of the Radio and Television Correspondents' Association dinner, Bush poked fun at himself and a few others in remarks that drew laughter and applause at the Washington Hilton Hotel. Noting that Vice President Dick Cheney was not in attendance, Bush said: "He's had a rough few weeks. To be honest, his feelings were kind of hurt. He said he was going on vacation to Afghanistan where people like him." On the controversy over the Justice Department's firing of eight federal prosecutors, Bush said: "I have to admit we really blew the way we let these attorneys go. You know you've batched it when people sympathize with lawyers." Cheney's recent trip to Afghanistan was marked by a bombing near where he was meeting with officials. Acknowledging House Speaker Nancy Pcelos, D-Calif, at the head table, Bush said some had wondered how he'd get along with her. "Some say she's bossy, she's opinionated, she's not to be crossed," he said. "Hey, I get along with my mother." "I'm thinking of something really fun and creative for mine," he said. "You know, maybe a pop-up book." Looking ahead to life after leaving the White House, Bush said he might follow President Clinton's lead and produce a memoir. Possible titles: "How W Got His Grove Back," "Who Moved My Presidency?" and "Tuesday with Cheney."

The series begins Saturday at Arrocha ballpark at 2 p.m. and continues Sunday at noon. The lajahawks are on an eight-game winning streak and are looking to continue their winning ways against their Big 12 Conference foe. The Bears were ranked 12th in the latest ESPN/USA Today poll and got on a hot streak of their own after winning six straight games. This weekend's games are the beginning of a five-game home stand for the Jayhawks, who have played 29 away games and seven home games so far this season. The team leader is senior pitcher Kassie Humphreys, who is looking to pass coach Tracy Bunge for fourth on the Kansas all-time strikeouts list. Humphreys needs only four more strikeouts to achieve it. On the season Humphreys is the Jayhawks ace pitcher with a 1.50 ERA and 129 strikeouts. The defense has been solid as of late, not giving up a single run in three straight games. Quality defense has been a major help to the offense this season.

The baseball team will need solid pitching to defeat the Tigers this weekend. BY ALISSA BAUER Thus far in the Jayhawks' Big 12 season, however, the tune has changed a bit. Missouri, this weekend's host for the Border Showdown series, strides into tonight's game with the upper hand. Red-hot through the month of March, Missouri (20-7, 2-1) snapped its 14-game win streak in Lincoln, Neb., on Sunday after a 16-1 loss at the hands of the Huskers. Apparently still shaken up from the series finale, the Tigers dropped their second game in a row to Creighton on Tuesday night, 4-3. The last time the Jayhawks and the Tigers got together, Kansas was busy knocking the Tigers out of last season's Big 12 Conference tournament semifinals. Missouri is 10-0 at home this season. Kansas (15-15,2-4) has dropped four of its last five and still needs its first Big 12 series victory. "I still really like our team," coach Rich Price said. "I like our team chemistry, and I like how we've been going about our business. We're still hustling, we're still playing hard, we're still being competitive and yet Taylor Stadium has been quite favorable to its home team, which has won eight of its last 10. Kansas, on the other hand, is looking to kick-start its conference season after winning only three of its last 10. we are at that point where we have to win the series" Kansas will need to step it up at the plate. Price mentioned the need for sophomore first baseman Preston Land and junior right fielder Brock Simpson to fulfill the roles they claimed last season. Neither one is close to the .300 mark, although Price said on Thursday that he believes they will be soon. Though they and others have struggled, Price isn't looking to rearrange. "One of the things I'm trying not to do is jerk guys in and jerk guys out," Price said. "I think when you do that rather than things getting better, it gets worse. There's no doubts we've got guys really struggling." Even so, the Jayhawks have the advantage heading into the weekend. Kansas is hitting .289 as a team, led by junior left fielder John Allman. His .398 average has been the MEN'S BASKETBALL SEE BASEBALL ON PAGE 9A NCAA honors Rush Sophomore guard Brandon Rush was named to the Wooden Award All-American Team.

Mark Dent DO THE DREW Chamberlain remains king Durant, Oden can't surpass 'the Stilt' JEREMY LUNG BY DREW DAVISON KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST DDAVISON@KANSAN.COM — are the two best freshmen ever to play college basketball. No doubt, their numbers are impressive; both had great seasons and deserve "All-American" next to their name. A lot has been made of Texas' Kevin Durant and Ohio State's Greg Oden being named to the All-America team earlier this week. During the course of the basketball season people have said they - Durant and Oden While they are just freshman, just think if Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell or Oscar Robertson could have played when they were freshman. The NCAA didn't allow freshman to play until 1972. While Durant and his Texas Longhorns' folded up early in the NCAA tournament, Oden and his Buckeyes' miraculously escaped two defeats — Xavier and Tennessee — and snuck by Memphis to make it to the Final Four in Atlanta — which begins Saturday. Chamberlain scored 42 points and grabbed 29 rebounds as a freshman in 1955, leading the Kansas freshman squad past the varsity squad. Today, were all ooing and awing if Durant or Oden scores 25 and brings down 12 boards. In his day, Chamberlain doubled that production. Ohio State and Georgetown features some of the best big guys in college basketball — Oden and Georgetown's Roy Hibbert and Jeff Green. Oden has been great, but I don't see how Ohio State can win this game. The Hoyas should reach the championship. Don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to take anything away from Durant or Oden, both had unbelievable seasons. You just have to think, though, that if Chamberlain played as a freshman, his numbers would be untouchable. Russell and Robertson would have put up stellar numbers as well, obviously. In the other semifinal game Florida and UCLA - Florida should cruise to a double-digit victory like it did in last year's championship game. Now, on to the Final Four. So, Florida and Georgetown. I'm taking Georgetown, simply because it came out of the most difficult bracket — also, Green and Hibbert are the best post players in the country. The Hoyas have proven they are capable of winning it all, and they will be cutting down the nets in Atlanta. Davison is an Overland Park senior in journalism. Y — Edited by Will McCullough ---
